The film is distributed by Encyclopædia Britannica Films, Inc., who was the top producer and distributor of educational films for schools and libraries from many decades in the 20th Century. Disclaimer This film describes the Alaska natives as Eskimos, which is a dated term. Indigenous Alaskans prefer the term ‘Inuit’. “Alaska - A Silent Teaching Film '' title banner and credits (00:08).

For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.

Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD, 2k and 4k.
