  ### Couple Implants Microchips Into Hands

  A Vancouver couple has voluntarily implanted microchips into their hands, using RFID technology for convenience and
  access control. Amal Graafstra waves his hand to unlock doors, while his girlfriend Jennifer Tomblin uses hers to sign
   into her computer instantly.

  Among approximately 30 people worldwide with such implants, the couple received their chips through a surgeon friend.
  Graafstra's were implanted in March 2005, while Tomblin's -- a 23-year-old marketing student -- were implanted in
  December.

  "I did it because I don't want to carry anything around. I really did this for convenience," Graafstra said.

  Tomblin stated the procedure was painless, adding: "It's not interacting with my body in any way" and emphasizing the
  chip's limited range of a few feet, making tracking impossible. "Because the procedure didn't hurt, it was really no
  big deal," she noted.

  The chips grant mutual access but include an exit strategy. Should the relationship end, either party can remove the

Report on Business Television (ROBTv) interview with Amal Graafstra. ROBTv was a Canadian business news channel (later renamed BNN in 2007, and BNN Bloomberg as of 2026).

In this interview I had some pretty bad marks on my face because just two days prior to the interview I dove into a swimming pool and smashed my face into the far side after swimming under water the entire way. I had my eyes open but without swim goggles, it's impossible to tell where the far wall is when it's all painted faint blue. When I arrived at the satellite studio (CBC in Vancouver) for the remote feed, they asked if I had any makeup.. and I was like "Isn't that you're department?" .. apparently not. I went on, and nobody asked any questions about my horrific deformity haha </video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6957a269-9580-4ec1-b481-8ec0d32e962e/3f26942b-ef1f-472d-8f1d-f5cf6f1d712a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/e1tj7NoYAPx6cxaM64t9vU</video:player_loc><video:duration>385</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2006-08-17T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Broadcast TV</video:tag><video:tag>Media</video:tag><video:tag>Interview</video:tag><video:tag>News</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/squTW72n8rbKAojmUdLMPf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1c916ea4-be84-4933-915d-4b51a6eec1b2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Northwest Afternoon: Computer Couple - Interview of Amal &amp; Jennifer</video:title><video:description>2006-11-29

  Galileo - "Bodyhacker"
  - Show: Galileo, a long-running German science/infotainment series on ProSieben (since 1998, 6,000+ episodes)
  - Host: Aiman Abdallah
  - Air date: Tuesday, September 30, 2014 (from the original ProSieben URL slug: /dienstag-30-september-2014/bodyhacker)
  - Topic: Body-hacking -- people improving their bodies with chips, magnets, and other implants
  - Featured Amal Graafstra -- one source specifically mentions a Galileo ProSieben report featuring a chipping event
  where 5 people received implants, with Amal Graafstra noted as carrying RFID and NFC chips in both hands

  The original ProSieben pages have since been redirected to their Joyn streaming platform and the content is no longer
  directly accessible, but the URL structure confirms the September 30, 2014 air date.

Biohacking pioneer Amal Graafstra discusses Neuralink's first brain implant procedure &amp; speculates on the evolution of neural interactive simulations like the Matrix and networked hive minds like the Borg.

Last month, Neuralink, implanted their first patient with a brain implant containing 64 flexible polymer threads, providing 1,024 sites for recording brain activity, and allowing the patient to control a computer mouse simply by thinking.

Today, moving a mouse is the limit of technology, but in the future brain implants may allow people to enter virtual digital worlds, like the Matrix. Beyond that, the neural plasticity of the human mind may actually spread consciousness out over the network as it offloads tasks for processing - allowing future humans to work as part of a collective consciousness, such as portrayed in Star Trek's Borg Collective.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d628ff0e-b359-4635-a0be-36d846a0d5df/660c7eda-6937-4106-9419-90341803310f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/srQmjhx8EsPpmy4SKh35t2</video:player_loc><video:duration>999</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2013-10-17T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Streaming</video:tag><video:tag>Presentation</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t2FEyNxAX4EhHrPT6t7Vz2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cbfc4e94-d536-4a3a-ac63-676e165b0d43.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Fast Moving Targets: Amal Graafstra @Dangerous Things LLC - biohacking is the forefront of a new ...</video:title><video:description>Oct 12, 2015

Emerce eDay (part of the eWeek) again attracted thousands of visitors in the Amsterdam Kromhouthal. Fast Moving Targets groomed all-day live stream of interviews with the speakers at eDay.

The presentation on the main stage of biohacker Amal Graafstra was already a special character when he showed bloody videos of his operations, but was even more special then came forward a candidate for a live chip implant, which Amal medical gloves attracted.
After this presentation Leonieke Daalder talked with Amal Graafstra. He is founder @Dangerous Things LLC. "We believe our bodies are our own, to do with what we want, and that biohacking is the forefront of a new kind of evolution. The “socially acceptable” of tomorrow will be defined by boundaries pushed today, and we’re excited to be a part of it."</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dae2ee95-68e5-4e33-85d3-ee592529d8ef/51011e00-98de-4e3e-a8e5-e576dcb62f3d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/t2FEyNxAX4EhHrPT6t7Vz2</video:player_loc><video:duration>997</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2015-10-12T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Streaming</video:tag><video:tag>Interview</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hq5gXsdxXpN8DgTqp6AFhW</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3f2909f8-3b89-41b3-bad7-d562ec8c9478.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>RT Digital - Making of a BIOHACKER Amal Graafstra</video:title><video:description>2018-05-05 - RT Digital - Making of a BIOHACKER Amal Graafstra</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/84eeb423-7faa-4203-9e11-862865b54ad2/761ba59c-f7cc-4529-b2cc-156edd3d4fa1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hq5gXsdxXpN8DgTqp6AFhW</video:player_loc><video:duration>139</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2018-05-05T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Streaming</video:tag><video:tag>Interview</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aECGZVtjFGYSHEXE3MyJP8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/503e5692-a51e-4ac2-8b46-7bd03dd2259e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Motherboard: Humans+ - The Man Biohacking Encryption From His Garage</video:title><video:description>Aug 25, 2016

A pioneer in the biohacking scene since the mid-2000s, Amal Graafstra's been experimenting with RFID implants for more than a decade. Now Graafstra is developing implants that go beyond RFIDs.

In episode 2 of Humans+, Motherboard travels to his company Dangerous Things' garage headquarters to get an early look at UKI, a prototype implant focused on encryption that's expected to be released in 2017. Amal hopes that this technology will bring us one step closer to merging our physical and digital identities, but how will society react to having these technologies implanted beneath our skin?

April 30 -- In this week’s edition of Wiring the World, Bloomberg's Ramy Inocencio explores the realm of “biohacking.” A growing number of people across the U.S. and around the world are implanting microchips and other high-tech devices under their own skin to give them beyond-human abilities. Inocencio travels to Seattle to watch a needle-injection process and to witness what one pioneer can do with a wave of his hand.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ae70a9df-2709-48b6-9077-eeebd060ef33/69d433c8-986e-48f9-b060-875717f74986-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nxmALocBL8s7eRNMzKhXyF</video:player_loc><video:duration>187</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2015-04-30T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Broadcast TV</video:tag><video:tag>Media</video:tag><video:tag>Interview</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jkxyhqKCRZtqdeBfcs73gF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/14dad746-e4be-495e-bdba-6a6a428f6478.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>The Feed - Biohacker Amal Graafstra</video:title><video:description>Sep 7, 2016

  - Location: Hotel Pennsylvania, New York City
  - Event: "HOPE Number Six" / "The Last HOPE" (7th HOPE conference)

  The RFID Censorship Incident:

  During the Q&amp;A portion of Adam Savage's keynote at The Last HOPE, he revealed that Mythbusters had planned an episode
  testing RFID security -- how hackable, reliable, and trackable it was. He claimed:

  - A Mythbusters researcher called Texas Instruments to arrange technical consultation
  - A conference call ensued with TI plus chief legal counsel from American Express, Visa, and Discover
  - The lawyers made it "very clear" that Discovery Channel would not air an episode about RFID vulnerabilities
  - Discovery backed down because it depends on advertiser revenue

  This became a huge story covered by
  https://techcrunch.com/2008/08/31/adam-savage-of-mythbusters-on-discovers-shut-down-of-rfid-segment/,
  https://www.theregister.com/2008/09/03/mythbusters_gagged/,
  https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/09/mythbusters_epi.html,
  https://www.tomshardware.com/news/Mythbuster-RFID-HOPE,6313.html, and
  https://gizmodo.com/credit-card-companies-bully-discovery-mythbusters-into-5044442.

  The Retraction: Savage later walked it back, admitting he "got some of my facts wrong" since he wasn't on the call. He
   said the decision was actually made by their production company (Beyond Productions), not Discovery's ad sales
  department. Texas Instruments also disputed his account.

  - Network: RTVE - La 2 (aired as part of La Noche Temática)
  - Air date: Early December 2017 (blog post from December 5, 2017 says "a few days ago")
  - Runtime: Full documentary is longer (~52 min), your 92-second file appears to be an extracted clip/segment
  - Featured: You (Amal Graafstra/Dangerous Things), Kevin Warwick (confirmed by you from the frames), Zoltan Istvan,
  Neil Harbisson, and other futurists
  - Description: Explores cyborgs as real people using electronic devices connected to their bodies -- exoskeletons,
  implants, brain-computer interfaces, RFID chips

  Note: The La 1 bug visible in your clip is slightly confusing since La Noche Temática normally airs on La 2, but RTVE
  sometimes cross-promotes or re-airs segments. Your 92-second clip may be an extracted segment that aired separately on
   La 1 as a news/magazine piece.

  There was also a separate RTVE documentary "Documentos TV: Ciborgs... muy humanos" directed by Manuel Muñoz Monterde,
  aired June 17, 2016 on La 2. That's an alternative candidate given your 2015-2016 estimate and the La 1 bug.

Could we soon live forever? Recent scientific advancements are bringing humanity closer than ever to understanding how we might halt the aging process. Longevity Hackers, a groundbreaking documentary, delves into the latest research and reveals how science is accelerating our ability to extend life and eliminate age-related diseases. Narrated by Edward Norton, this captivating film takes viewers on a journey through the field of longevity and the tantalizing promise of a future where aging could become a thing of the past.

The documentary features exclusive interviews with some of the world’s most influential figures, including Tony Robbins, Mark Cuban, Steve Aoki, Peter Diamandis, Tony Hawk, Chris Bumstead, John Salley, Wim Hof, and many others. Longevity Hackers explores the groundbreaking potential to radically extend human lifespan, sparking a global conversation about longevity and igniting what could become a "Longevity Revolution" as public curiosity and media attention continue to grow.

Producer Ruben Figueres and Director Michal Siewierski reflect on their personal journeys while creating this project. “This has been an incredible journey—both professionally and personally,” said Siewierski. “I never imagined becoming so deeply passionate about this subject.” Figueres added, “This film has truly changed my outlook on life. When you assume you only have 80 to 100 years to live, it’s easy to take your health for granted. But when you realize that people born today could potentially live beyond 100 in youthful health, even 200 years or more, it completely reshapes how you think about your future.”

America is a gun culture. It always has been. With an estimated 260 to 300 million guns in the national gun stock today, firearms aren’t going anywhere. And it would appear the political will to craft robust nationwide gun control legislation remains dead in the water.

But with an epidemic of mass shootings, and gun accidents devastating communities nationwide, a small movement seeks to change the very technology at the heart of firearms. Yet the players behind this movement to create user-authenticated firearms, or so-called smart guns that only fire in the hands of approved users, are blocked at every turn.

We can now take our evolution into our own hands.

Amal Graafstra is Chief of Awesome and Dangerous Things, a Biohacking company based out of Seattle, Washington. He’s one of the guys that put biohacking on the map, with the RFID chip he’s got implanted in his hand that allows him to access his car and house without keys – and that’s just the start!

Technologies available today can allow us to do far crazier things – from paying for stuff with a wave of a hand, to actually changing our very own genetic makeup.

In this episode, we chat chat about:
  - Encryption and the one key to rule them all
  - RFID and Magnetic Implantables
  - Genetic Engineering (CRISPR CAS 9)

In the underground movement known as biohacking, people are taking their health into their own hands. Grinders make up a subculture of biohackers that seek to enhance the body with implanted technology.

Hacker surgeons like Jeffrey Tibbetts can implant everything from magnets and RFID chip implants (like the microchips we put in our pets), to compasses, miniature harddrives, and wireless routers. Our director Chase got an NFC chip implant. 

Depending on their choice of extreme body modification, grinders enjoy benefits such as being able to download and stream content from their bodies, or unlock doors and phones without ever needing to enter a password. 

Chase did a lot of his research on the NFC chip that he got at https://dangerousthings.com/. The image at 1:43 is courtesy of them.

Future Grind Podcast Ep. 23: Implanted Identity with Amal Graafstra

In this installment of the Future Grind podcast, host Ryan O’Shea speaks with Amal Graafstra, an  early pioneer of RFID implants and the author of RFID Toys  (https://amzn.to/2MAEIGC). Amal created the first implantable NFC tag, the xNT, in 2013, and he sells these implants through his website, Dangerous Things. His new venture, VivoKey Technologies, promises to implant a cryptographically secure digital identify authentication and payment solution - which could change everything. Amal recently caused a stir when he created an implant-activated smart gun, which would only fire when held by an approved user. We discuss concerns of security and privacy, the FDA and other regulations, safety, and more.

Once again we remind you that the thoughts of the guests on this podcast do not necessarily reflect the views of Future Grind or of Ryan O'Shea. Biohacking is dangerous and things can go wrong. We strongly advise against self-surgery of any kind, and you should consult with a trained medical doctor before moving forward with any type of human augmentation.

Description: "Unlock the door to your house with a wave of your hands, sounds like a myth right? But that's what Amal Graafstra, a 37 year-old man from the US is trying to do. He decided to implant himself with two rice-grain-sized radio frequency identification, or RFID chips under his skin, to challenge the way humans live."

This is my first attempt at a flex series implant. I had tried to use parylene (poly-para-xylylene) as a flexible encapsulation method for flexible transponders. I had it implanted for just about a month, then it started to lose performance fairly rapidly. Over the course of a week it went from working fine to completely unreadable. It was removed shortly afterward.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7d8605c4-c125-4b9f-b7f2-c8c819a1e9db/79bfc76e-397f-43fb-ae3c-28a20b8264ad-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gv1B8J8sJoQP3DA9yLUMTr</video:player_loc><video:duration>79</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2013-08-21T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/orruaXeXfQW4abAJjZ8mRK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b29da305-614c-4f20-86ee-b5a6c9bffe2c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Amal gets a HITAG implant</video:title><video:description>2005-06-07

A couple months after my first EM4102 implant in my left hand, I got a HITAG S 2048 in my right hand. We used an animal syringe (Avid), ejected the pet chip, put the HITAG chip in, autoclaved the whole thing, then installed. My family doctor performed the installation. 

You can see he's not wearing gloves, and this is when I learned that doctors wear gloves mainly to protect them from you, not the other way around. Since he knew I wasn't carrying any infectious illnesses, he was fine doing it without standard gloves, which aren't sterile anyway - hence they are to protect the medical professional, not you. For procedures that require them, sterile gloves are worn and those are for your protection. It's why they are sterile, and require a special process for putting them on and keeping them sterile.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b5b659d4-a5ad-44bf-869b-5595a872127d/0c9dea49-2982-45ed-9c35-4c79e290b376-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/orruaXeXfQW4abAJjZ8mRK</video:player_loc><video:duration>17</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2005-06-07T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rs4d5gScNhAZazLFZEXjJx</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/596f04c3-b3fb-436f-b3e2-ba34596846bd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Jenny gets an RFID impant</video:title><video:description>2005-12-20

Bronic's What the (Bio)Hack?! is a podcast to discover what the hack security means for biology. Our host interviews some of the world's mad scientists and rad hackers across deceivingly unrelated disciplines to uncover what the future holds and how we can design against crime.

In this episode, we speak with Amal Graafstra, technologist, Author &amp; Double RFID Implantee. We  delve into “biohacking” and the world of implantables. Back in 2005, he implanted an RFID chip in his hand to open doors and control his gadgets – talk about futuristic! But what exactly is biohacking? It's an umbrella term that encompasses a wide range of DIY and open-source hardware projects, from Arduino to RFID toys and beyond. Some may find the concept controversial, but there's no denying the fascinating possibilities it offers. We talk about these topics and more to understand what the future holds and how we can design against crime.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b300cc81-fe7d-4b84-9121-1b883f17b67b/e387359c-db58-4585-be3d-65cadba9bd1b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/o7361gerrNnEsqRndXQEB6</video:player_loc><video:duration>5167</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2023-06-21T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eFwectLKuxDUxU959uwEDa</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/85a87a5c-bcd2-4104-a583-4455a99d8306.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Should You Get An RFID Implant?

In this video I talk about RFID chips, and whether or not it’s a good idea to implant one. In the past couple of years, Sweden has seen a growing number of people getting microchips implanted under their skin. It was once a very niche thing among the most dedicated biohackers. But now it’s becoming mainstream in the tech-savvy and open-minded Scandinavian nation. 
I’m a proud geek, so I had to dive into this topic: What is an RFID chip? How do RFID implants work? What are the benefits of implanting a chip? Are there any health risks? Can the chips be hacked?  Can they be a treat to our privacy? 
Here’s what you should know about RFID chips before you implant them into your body.

Today we talk about an aggressive topic Human Microchipping to all humans let alone America. The microchip is the size of a grain of rice. It has been predicted by tech companies and business leaders that 50% of Americans will be microchipped by 2025 and that is only 3 years away. Come and listen to what will happen to humanity in the upcoming years.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4ec3bcce-dd34-4cba-995f-7b9912ea375a/9d1adf04-b3c7-4575-8541-a1d21a49d145-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aJ7U71rWquSbAHA51ihikq</video:player_loc><video:duration>608</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2022-01-03T20:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mC7xuBYow9dJaaGrxRbKwH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/48a91bbe-c899-4305-8460-574a9d793358.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Biohacking &amp; RFID chips: Learn the facts!</video:title><video:description>Aug 18, 2017, Adam Milton-Barker

The media seems determined to use the fear factor of biohacking to boost their ratings, this is bad as we now have many people around the world that have been misinformed about the technology and developed an incorrect understanding of the tech. 

In this interview I interview Amal Graafstra, pioneer of biohacking and founder of Dangerous Things. We debunk the false information and fear mongering that is being spread around the internet by the media, and provide facts about exactly what the technology does.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a70194c8-46b8-4e14-ab43-341744917b41/f8643c55-f338-4951-88ae-844619e2eb6f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mC7xuBYow9dJaaGrxRbKwH</video:player_loc><video:duration>2642</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2017-08-18T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fuhquvTHN6P32LD4W2e7QM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/40819eac-2ed1-4870-a0cd-738b710f641b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>RFID Chips - The facts about using RFID as Spy Chips: Host Louis Sirico</video:title><video:description>Oct 19, 2011, Louis Sirico

Time for some Biohacking! The future of the human species is here. Join us as we create a human "cyborg" in front of your eyes! We will implant an RFID chip into the hand of a willing subject and test its functionality! We will talk about the future of biohacking and human modification and how this will effect our lives in the long run. What is going on in the world of biohacking right now? What can YOU do to biohack yourself? What does the future of biohacking entail?

The Biohacking Live Human Chip Implant took place at 4YFN Barcelona 2019 with Edgar Pons of Nanoboost and Ghislaine Boddington of body data space.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/279f0d75-7b71-45b1-8721-97e7812e14c6/aed68442-65ea-4d88-beb3-a3174a378d34-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5TLJjKpBf9zXzC5LzbpPtU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1494</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2019-04-03T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7wjgpyCPWtcT6FSG7XnN6b</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4024b3c5-bcbb-47f0-9cc7-2ad463daed2c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>TECH: Biohacking &amp; Chip Implants I by YunalescaSWE</video:title><video:description> Jan 3, 2019, Andjela Kusmuk

[BSidesRDU 2024]</video:title><video:description>Oct 14, 2024, DeviantOllam

This is my presentation from BSidesRDU this year.  It's a talk that has been cooking for a WHILE now, though.  Back in 2018 I first started writing this as a means to disambiguate all kinds of details for people who would ask me about the implants in my hands.

This is a crash course in how RFID works, how and why some credential systems are vulnerable to various hacker shenanigans like replaying or cloning or other methods of subverting security, and which types of biohacker implants are capable of various kinds of cool tactics.  This was not a sponsored talk and while you will see me mention some company names in the presentation, it is only because they are some of the most notable sources of hardware in the industry... indeed, much of this talk consists of me telling the audience what they probably DON'T need to go out and buy!

If you've ever considered playing with RFID, whether the tech is implanted in your body or not, this will hopefully be a presentation that helps you to understand the capabilities of this very cool technology.  Enjoy!  👍😁👍</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2fd9ca8c-8921-459e-bad2-ec729afdb7c0/dae780d5-e665-4c82-9023-716285a5ad05-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6UHfyybw2zoFLxZ69HhYBA</video:player_loc><video:duration>4105</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2024-10-14T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7r35JsxLZBMm3AgATNjgSN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/32b83c30-70f6-4ef3-8939-f77a74d8d615.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Dangerous Things with VivoKey RFID on Media Litter Sandwich 141</video:title><video:description>Mar 13, 2020, Toaden

Toaden's Media Litter Sandwich ep 141 with Amal Graafstra from VivoKey and Dangerous Things. We talk all about chip implants. If you done any research on getting RFID chips for your self for keyless entry or someother purpose. There is a good chance you came across the company Dangerous Things and the name "Amal Graafsta. This ep is all about about the controversies of getting chipped. Amal also talks about the differences between his 2 companies "Dagerous Things" and the more secure "VivoKey"</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3415b583-3541-460a-ad9a-af9694e7bf2e/a8064f2b-84f8-4186-94de-b81c80fabecb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7r35JsxLZBMm3AgATNjgSN</video:player_loc><video:duration>2154</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2020-03-13T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jDkKHHphgPY4WcpVHg8rqT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5e56bfec-eb64-4f72-9469-efe0eeccdfe6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>I replaced my keys with an RFID implant</video:title><video:description>Jun 28, 2025, Eviba Carter

Imagine being able to unlock doors or a car with just a wave of your hand. Well that's exactly what one Utah man can now do, thanks to some tech under his skin.

Ben Workman is one of a few people around the world who are turning to cybernetic implants. Simply speaking, they're different kinds of computer chips that let you do different things.

Amal Graafstra, a pioneering biohacker, implanted RFID chips in his hands back in 2005 to unlock his home, car, and computer with a wave — no keys, no cards. What started as a personal solution to lost keys evolved into two companies, Dangerous Things and Vivokey Technologies, offering implantable tech for everything from payments to digital security. While early reactions were skeptical, Graafstra believes people are now warming up to the idea of merging secure digital identity with the human body.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dc057a56-c73d-4c25-a8ed-9306d25d704a/73b6b328-0316-4a03-b5cb-cf49182a2e4b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/taP86mjdqgc8HcMrhnupTh</video:player_loc><video:duration>271</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>4</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2025-07-22T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Streaming</video:tag><video:tag>Media</video:tag><video:tag>Interview</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/txEisK5HZsESxJaFvSWXxj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/38cb82ee-8590-4e2b-9df0-72359be7870a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Why Christianity Hates Indigenous People</video:title><video:description>Mar 13, 2026, Genetically Modified Skeptic

If Christianity is man made, why does everything about it go against man’s desires? Does Christianity go against man’s desires? If so, is that evidence for Christianity? I answer this question, discussing the history of Christianity, the cognitive science of religion, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, and more.

The whole “atheists can’t answer this question” and “atheists can’t explain this” thing is really getting old.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b3993a3e-7a85-4221-9a27-bf8a2bd4450a/45700684-79ee-4b64-9892-20ef57df0972-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/obiqHQF98BZNWn1Av2S4Vu</video:player_loc><video:duration>981</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2024-04-29T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Religion</video:tag><video:tag>Philosophy</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cysHZLBjoUE84rwbXokhmT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d1b92740-c223-49c2-b6f2-b8be2d9fad79.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>#11 - Implantable RFID 101</video:title><video:description>Jan 31, 2020, Mayhem Lab

This week we implanted a T5577 radio frequency identification (RFID) tag int the synthetic hand made in video #16. After implanting the chip, we did a test read using the Proxmark3 RDV2. It seems like the Proxmark3 was reading the tag as well as it reads the one in my own hand. This quick test gives me a lot of hope that I am going down the correct path for my research.

As we discussed in the video, the next step is to find a way to accurately measure the depth and angle of the implant so that the steps can be repeated for proper scientific research.

If you’ve ever used Apple Pay or Google Wallet to pay for your groceries without carrying cash or cards, you’ve been exposed to the marvels of NFC technology and what it can do for us. But did you know that some people are taking one step further, opening doors with just a hand motion, or exchanging information by just beeping their arm? The future is already here with many people getting a chip implanted in their body. What are the risks and benefits? And what happens when something goes horribly wrong?

Friday, July 21, 2006: 12:00 pm (Area "A"): Annalee will talk about how she got an RFID implant to demonstrate some of the basic security problems with these devices. These are problems that the companies who make RFID systems are either ignoring or outright lying about. She'll discuss the process of implanting the RFID, including getting the surgery and unpleasant dealings with VeriChip. She will also talk about the many problems with security used for implanted RFIDs (and security problems with RFIDs used as access control devices). Then Jonathan, the RFID-hacking expert who cloned Annalee's RFID, will talk about how he did it and (hopefully) he'll be able to give a demo. He'll describe how he made his device and how it can also be used for proximity card cloning. He also has a new cloner which he may or may not want to talk about in detail.

Kevin Warwick is Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, where he carries out research in artificial intelligence, control, robotics and cyborgs. He is a Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of the IET.

Kevin was born in Coventry, UK and left school to join British Telecom, at the age of 16. He took his first degree at Aston University, followed by a PhD and research post at Imperial College, London. He subsequently held positions at Oxford, Newcastle and Warwick Universities before being offered the Chair at Reading.

As well as publishing over 500 research papers, Kevin's experiments into implant technology led to him being featured as the cover story on the US magazine, Wired.
Kevin has been awarded higher doctorates (DSc) both by Imperial College and the Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague, and has received Honorary Doctorates from Aston University, Coventry University, Bradford University and Robert Gordon University. He was presented with The Future of Health Technology Award in MIT, was made an Honorary Member of the Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, and has received The IEE Senior Achievement Medal, the Mountbatten Medal and the Ellison-Cliffe Medal. In 2000 Kevin presented the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, entitled "The Rise of the Robots".

Kevin's research involves the invention of an intelligent deep brain stimulator to counteract the effects of Parkinson Disease tremors. The tremors are predicted and a current signal is applied to stop the tremors before they start -- this is to be trialled in human subjects. Another project involves the use of cultured/biological neural networks to drive robots around -- the brain of each robot is made of neural tissue.

Kevin is perhaps best known for his pioneering experiments involving a neuro-surgical implantation into the median nerves of his left arm to link his nervous system directly to a computer to asses...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a653d847-f086-411a-b556-5db4f1b42295/2a8f321c-d555-40df-b6f6-6692d3b8c172-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mxfCqkkCdU7WStRDWPdS6t</video:player_loc><video:duration>1276</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2012-03-22T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wAyDQoMVwUMJJBRtEmnxRb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c6817d4b-06f0-4cac-ae18-a0048ea21801.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Plaatsen van mijn RFID chip door Amal Graafstra</video:title><video:description>Nov 11, 2015, Enna van Duinen GL Groningen

What is Transhumanism? What are microchip implants and should we be worried about them?

I spent the day in London with a fantastic Hungarian production crew on August 15th. We had a blast and the film is excellent - my favourite yet. Let me know what you think in the comments below and please comment on the full documentary too!! Much appreciated.

Many religions have special features which make them spread. But they made me stop believing.

Discovering that religions evolve through a darwinian process made me question my faith. Religions are memeplexes shaped over long periods of time, and my Christianity was no different. Here’s a story from my deconstruction story which I haven’t discussed before. Regardless of whether you’re ex-Christian, atheist, or otherwise, understanding memetics is hugely valuable.

I recommend Richard Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene and Susan Blackmore’s The Meme Machine to learn more about memes.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5ece0921-7f7a-4f69-827a-7fbd39591353/bd6a25d2-7202-40b5-83a0-b2e9fef38dd5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cH12usazXqwXtWHyrxQvvv</video:player_loc><video:duration>1026</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2023-09-29T19:00:00.000Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Religion</video:tag><video:tag>Philosophy</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gQzYHXfqkvFzbQ7JpNvDWA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3eb03310-0682-4a4b-9a25-79cb9fa6e12e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Prosthetics, Telepathy &amp; Robo-Implants: The Cyborg Revolution | Futurism &amp; Robots Documentary (Ep 1)</video:title><video:description>Oct 13, 2022, Java Discover | Free Global Documentaries &amp; Clips

We’ve all seen Cyborgs in Hollywood blockbusters. But it turns out these fictional beings aren’t so far-fetched. In fact, this program features a true-to-life cyborg, who at four months of age, was the youngest American to be outfitted with a myoelectric hand. And at one ground-breaking engineering facility, engineers are developing biotechnologies that can even further enhance high-tech like this by giving mechanical prosthetics something incredible: the physical sensation of touch!

This is actually a rip and re-production of "Forging the Future" series, Episode 4 "Cyborg Revolution" which aired some time in 2020.

And at one ground-breaking engineering facility, engineers are developing biotechnologies that can even further enhance high-tech like this by giving mechanical prosthetics something incredible: the physical sensation of touch. Other engineering firms are gearing up powerful exoskeletons that both rehabilitate and enhance the power of the human body - improving the lives of those with paralysis and transforming the work force. But the real pivot is getting machines inside the body. An out-of-the-box "transhumanist" featured in the show installs a chip inside a person's hand. It works as a key that unlocks doors, literally and figuratively. However, brain-machine integration poses the biggest challenges, and the biggest rewards. Cutting-edge neuroscientists and technologists reveal how computer chips can directly interface with the human brain in ways that not only rehabilitate, but which can also "read thoughts" in real-time.

RFID and NFC are decades-old technologies, and are ubiquitous in the modern world. Phones, payment terminals, and smart locks are common devices with contactless data transfer, but how do these devices actually work? Are they secure? And why are people putting RFID tags in their hands?

This talk will discuss how RFID/NFC access control and data transfer works in the real world, and how implantable tags can be used to replace badges and fobs to communicate with these devices.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c15f9887-b66b-4bf1-94de-014695f71110/e7b6a604-9f22-4090-aa5c-b77898327ce0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pSXwqa6rdmnxj4BKAbBofU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1070</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-07T06:46:59.886Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8EBfaxM7GNFtrPiPZLTtiN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/448b2081-8c17-4438-9b44-ce637941071e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>People Really Don't Like the Way Jesus Actually Looked</video:title><video:description>Nov 12, 2025, Hank Green

Your home wi-fi router has new technology built into it that tracks your every move from room to room. Even more shockingly, this technology can distinguish between who is in your home and what they are doing. The worst part? Police are routinely accessing this data to spy on you without you ever knowing and completely ignoring your Constitutional rights to privacy. And if you don’t understand what settings to disable, you’re allowing law enforcement to know everything about you without ever getting a warrant. 

In this video, I’ll show you:
1. What new technology is built into your wi-fi router,
2. How this technology expands police surveillance and
3. The EXACT step-by-step guide to opt out of this surveillance nightmare and exact settings you need to disable. </video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6e3208dd-6919-4c60-a6d5-2769153c182e/255099cf-0d1b-423a-82ee-745e867dc5a9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eBeiKirGVZKEXBz5HkeDcC</video:player_loc><video:duration>763</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-07T20:14:08.518Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Law</video:tag><video:tag>Surveillance </video:tag><video:tag>Biometrics</video:tag><video:tag>Privacy</video:tag><video:tag>Tracking</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pczznoB7ySnthtsTT6XKBB</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9753873d-1b32-4145-8ef8-076053f1473f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LAWYER: How to Stop Cops From Using This NEW Tech to Spy on You</video:title><video:description>Nov 2, 2025, Hampton Law

Cops are using new technology to spy on your phone. In fact, right now, cops are partnering with Fog Data Science to follow your phone everywhere — and no one knows it is happening. This isn’t fiction. It’s real tech, used by real cops, right now.

In this video, I’m breaking down:
1. How easy it is for police to trace where you’ve been, who you were with, and what you are doing
2. The new partner cops are working with to spy on your every move, 
3. How this NEW surveillance system actually works…and
4. What you can do NOW to stop cops from spying on your phone to track your location.

April 30 -- In this week’s edition of Wiring the World, Bloomberg's Ramy Inocencio explores the realm of “biohacking.” A growing number of people across the U.S. and around the world are implanting microchips and other high-tech devices under their own skin to give them beyond-human abilities. Inocencio travels to Seattle to watch a needle-injection process and to witness what one pioneer can do with a wave of his hand.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/06e49b19-6200-4ac7-9448-a7285785ee8b/622960e8-f6da-42f8-849c-abb8b61fa900-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1RnmDHi8ZTt6ZB7vFM6a5F</video:player_loc><video:duration>187</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T01:00:02.454Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Broadcast TV</video:tag><video:tag>Media</video:tag><video:tag>News</video:tag><video:tag>Interview</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cFugYW4xhwBRG7sqFjKA1X</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/faeb483c-2f60-4bf3-883a-04c457b00990.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Biotech x Data - The Many Ways That Biotech Can Use Data As A Product | IndieBio | SOSV</video:title><video:description>Mar 5, 2021, SOSV IndieBio NY

What happens when the world of big data and the world of biotech collide? Data help us to identify and track all sorts of valuable characteristics, and biology can help make this process better.

Join a panel of biotech founders talking about their product: data. You’ll meet one founder whose implants negate the need for computers, another whose product uses the most basic building blocks of life to secure supply chains, and a third whose product sifts through haystacks of data to identify the valuable needle.

Find out how those with and without deep biotech backgrounds were able to found successful startups, and where the future of biotech x data can take us.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5e97f52c-b43f-4196-891e-f2eb9e50d337/bd4af778-867a-43f8-9e2b-d8d282a54536-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cFugYW4xhwBRG7sqFjKA1X</video:player_loc><video:duration>3925</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T01:14:20.089Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Interview</video:tag><video:tag>Streaming</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4dwPpXLd53GhqoUbgD4zpr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2d3e4cd4-a142-4a1e-b076-648e3748a831.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Intro to Hardware Reversing Finding a UART and getting a shell</video:title><video:description>Nov 4, 2019, Tony Gambacorta

Citation: Katina Michael, "Designing an Implantable Therapeutic Device for US Soldiers", in Ehsan Tavakoli-Nabavi, Responsible Innovator Lecture Series, Australian National University, 28 July 2022.

Abstract: 
The ADvanced Acclimation and Protection Tool for Environmental Readiness (ADAPTER) aims to develop a travel adapter for the human body, an implantable or ingestible bioelectronic carrier. The therapeutic device aims to achieve the goal of better sleep cycles and the diminishment of traveler’s diarrhea in US soldiers. As an ELSI panelist in this Defense Advanced Research Project Agency’s (DARPA) Program, I will discuss the importance of anticipating ethics, law and social implications toward the design and development of a complex socio-technical system. The ELSI panelist acts as an interventionist, in order to raise guiding questions as opposed to providing concrete answers, that stakeholders at large should consider or address at critical stages of the development cycle. While an ELSI panelist cannot pre-judge ethics for cutting-edge technologies for which there are limited histories or experiences to rely on, they certainly can anticipate challenges through thought experiments and scenario planning.

This was the Sparda-Bank Berlin campaign from October 2019.

The promotional video launched around October 1, 2019 and featured Berlin drag queens Jurassica Parka and Destiny Drescher under the hashtag #seianders ("be different"). The campaign ran from October 1 through December 31, 2019.

The promotion offered two free NFC chip implants (plus accessories and implantation) to any customer who signed a Baufinanzierung (home mortgage/financing) contract during that period. The tagline was "Die einzige Finanzierung, die unter die Haut geht" ("The only financing that gets under your skin").

The video played on cliches of German suburban life and was targeted at 16-39 year-olds via social media in Berlin and the eastern German states. The campaign was created by agency Heldisch (Berlin) with media by Crossmedia (Berlin).

Liz Parrish, the first person to receive gene therapy for biological aging, shares nearly 10 years of data.

Learn about telomere lengthening, follistatin for muscle mass, Klotho for cognitive enhancement, and why over 300 patients worldwide have already accessed these therapies. Parrish presents a compelling case for why gene therapy represents the future of medicine. It is the modality that will let us move from symptom management to reversing biological aging. </video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/36c1bce6-4190-4d35-a0a9-11fa9e80b93e/39abcfe0-9f0c-493b-9ab8-de512289e41a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7Lb2CAxktXfvX3Hp9WKEDL</video:player_loc><video:duration>1301</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T06:13:20.105Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Event</video:tag><video:tag>Talk</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8xQDVvyUVfvbn64kbVP9cA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0add0078-8cd4-40b9-bc5e-a73bc9cb53c5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Liz Parrish: Why She Risked Everything on an Unproven Treatment</video:title><video:description>Aug 6, 2025, Super Human Network

What would you do if medicine offered no answers?

Liz Parrish didn’t wait for FDA approval. She became the first person in the world to take multiple gene therapies, using her own body to test a future that medicine wasn’t ready for.

Since then, she’s taken 10 gene therapies, helped over 300 people treat conditions once considered untreatable, and challenged one of the biggest assumptions in healthcare:

👉 Should we treat aging the same way we treat disease?

In this talk, Liz shares how her personal decision created ripple effects across the world - and why gene therapy may be the first real step toward extending not just health span, but lifespan.

What you'll hear:

• What most people don’t understand about aging
• How gene therapy works at the cellular level
• Why she chose to take gene therapies before they were approved
• What it will take to make “post-aging” humans possible
• The latest breakthroughs in lifespan and health span extension

About the Bacon Prize

Who will recognize the true pioneers of super longevity? The people who stand out to make an impact, who challenge the status quo to bring new science, new strategies, and a new vision of living into our world. 

Who will give credit where credit is due? 

This is the purpose of the Bacon Prize for Thought Leadership in Super longevity, awarded annually by the Coalition for Radical Life Extension. 

Named for Roger Bacon, one of the earliest proponents of the scientific method, and Sir Francis Bacon, the Renaissance philosopher who helped establish modern scientific reasoning, the Bacon Prize is our acknowledgment of those people who have made, and continue to make, extraordinary contributions to the advancement of radical life extension.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b40c06a2-adeb-42bb-a565-eff6275cf620/b142b76a-1b96-4f36-8022-d5a3b9845325-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oevGTNvX5UFikuwifYEXUL</video:player_loc><video:duration>513</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T06:24:35.871Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Life Extension</video:tag><video:tag>Genetic Modification</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gfyxtFb36b1YnN4RBN8f33</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c256e982-a33e-4cef-94bf-114217ff4ea3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Is Aging a Disease? Inside the First Human Gene Therapy Experiment | Elizabeth Parrish</video:title><video:description>Jan 20, 2026, DavidPerlmutterMD and BioViva Science

Gene therapy is no longer a distant promise, it is rapidly becoming one of the most disruptive technologies in medicine. And few figures embody the urgency, controversy, and pioneering spirit of this field more than Elizabeth Parrish, CEO of BioViva and widely recognized as the world's first self- engineered "GMO human." 

In this episode of The Empowering Neurologist, we dive deep into her bold vision to treat aging not as an inevitable decline, but as a disease that can be targeted, modified, and potentially reversed. Again, treating aging as a disease. 

Her journey into genetics began with a simple but profound realization: the diseases that kill most of us, including Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and overall frailty, are rooted in the biology of aging itself. Instead of waiting for late-stage decline, she argues that medicine should intervene upstream, correcting the genomic and cellular faults that accumulate over time. This perspective led her to take an extraordinary step: undergoing experimental gene therapy on herself in 2015,
outside traditional regulatory frameworks.

Why does the USA borrow if it can print the world's money? Take a deep dive into the history of Monetary Theory.
Thanks to my sponsor Abacus.AI! Try all LLMs with ChatLLM Teams: https://chatllm.abacus.ai/brj

In 1971, Nixon dropped a financial bomb more powerful than any nuke - ending the gold standard forever. This video explores how money evolved from rice to gold to pure debt, why the US debt is unique compared to other countries and how the dollar became the world's game money. Why does the US government need to borrow money if it can create it? Is USA $36 trillion debt heading for collapse or is this just how modern money works? I explore both perspectives through a simple board game analogy anyone can understand.

A Canby man says he can open his door – even unlock his cell phone – with just the swipe of a hand. It's because he has a microchip implanted in his hand. 

James Newman said he is embracing the future. Two years ago, after reading some tech articles, he was inspired and had a chip implanted in his hand.  He believes radio frequency identification is the way of the future and he wants to stay on the cutting edge.

"It's a progression in technology and I wanted to be on the forefront of that," Newman told Fox 12. 

Radio frequency identification, or RFID, offers many features, but it is not a new technology. In fact, you may even use it without even realizing it, if you have a microchipped pet or key fob. 

Amal Graafstra, founder of Dangerous Things, supplies at-home tag kits on his company's website.  

"In a personal use context, your home, your door … there's no real privacy issue. No security issue,” said Graafstra. "There's really no risk. On the biological side, the infection risk … there's less risk there than in getting an ear piercing."

Newman is one of Dangerous Things’ customers.

"Went on the website, bought the little kit, it showed up at my door," he said. "It's a syringe that comes preloaded with the chip in it. And you pinch up your skin, and you inject and pull out, try to get it between the muscle tissue there."

Aside from benefits like keyless entry, Newman said there are some social perks to having a chip.

"I'm the only one that I know that has one, it's kind of unique," he said. "A lot of people say that's weird, no way. Then after they see me do it once or twice they say OK that's kind of cool."

But Newman knows not everyone is a fan of the technology. 

"When it comes to the Mark of the Beast type of thing, that seems to me a literal interpretation of biblical text and if you really read it, it says it's on the right hand or the forehead," he said. "Mine's on my left."

Newman sa...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5862930e-b2f9-48b8-a938-5f7deb7a1571/5add5f9f-193a-486e-87e4-dc88c65aa198-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bV2fhpGeBFJxvRytrzC8D4</video:player_loc><video:duration>186</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T06:42:36.851Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Media</video:tag><video:tag>Broadcast TV</video:tag><video:tag>News</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4BYZqJ3BkXgH2VasSAGrnF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1eb33ab2-f659-454a-9a15-3aebfcca19bc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Maria Bamford - The Special Special Special</video:title><video:description>November 28, 2012

Corrections and notes: 
- A few things were possibly over-simplified to prevent this from becoming a 170 part Ken Burns series. Please do some searching/reading and learn your butt off! I'll add to these as needed, as responding to comments will just get lost in the ether of YouTube comment pages. 

- Futures contracts and options are a bit different. In a contract, the buyer is obligated to buy the asst, and an option frees them of that obligation. 

- The wealth generated in the 1950's can also be greatly contributed to much of Europe's destruction and how America used that as leverage to lend money under the condition of the US dollar being standardized for trade. This is a fascinating hour long video in itself. 

- I anticipate that a portion of viewers will argue that this is just a new phase of capitalism. I disagree, but delving further into that disagreement requires further analyzing the semantic definition of "capitalism", which is probably a waste of time. So whether this is a new thing that doesn't have a name or a new mutation of capitalism that doesn't have a name, both are correct in describing the circumstances. 

- Bitcoin would've been a great answer to a lot of these problems. Unfortunately it's not used as a currency, but as a prospective asset. If it's not replacing the US dollar enmasse, it's not a solution to anything in this video. In fact, it makes a lot of this worse when you consider the insane amount of alt-coins. 

Further viewing: 

- There is no higher recommendation on YouTube than  @PBoyle  for anything related to finance or economic history. 

- Adam Curtis (BBC, etc) makes films that provide excellent surreal recaps of recent history that absolutely ins...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8e8845e4-f2fa-4c9d-baae-76618a35acd1/9eb6e130-e66a-46c5-a7d8-f8089de83fab-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iAQ5oejsfvVAr2jkKMAvL6</video:player_loc><video:duration>2549</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T07:34:44.008Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4xcMnuuukL9gEvUSD3k9a4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a3d573a6-1779-4ed7-81ec-51f0194a2368.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Biohacking - the next step in human evolution or a dead end? | Jowan Österlund | TEDxBratislava</video:title><video:description>Oct 3, 2017, TEDx Talks

In his controversial talk, Jowan provides us with his vision how seamless interection between body and technology should work in the future. He believes, that by implanting microchips inside body, people can save a lot of time, money and will never loose purse or cards again. He does not want only to teach his body to speak machine, he wants his body to speak to him.
Vo svojom kontroverznom rozprávaní nám Jowan ukáže jeho víziu, ako by mala bezproblémová interakcia medzi ľudským telom a technológiami fungovať. Verí, že implementovaním mikročipov do tela ľudia ušetria čas, peniaze a už nikdy nestratia peňaženku alebo kreditné karty. Nechce len jeho telo naučiť hovoriť jazykom strojov, chce naučiť svoje telo hovoriť k nemu. Jowan is CEO at Biohax International, Swedish company that focuses on biohacking, bodyupgrading and implant development. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1ca6bbe2-2d13-4959-b50a-fedce28205e5/32bc1c81-4b1b-4163-b19a-b041515ad423-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4xcMnuuukL9gEvUSD3k9a4</video:player_loc><video:duration>665</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T07:44:48.197Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Event</video:tag><video:tag>Talk</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos">Dangerous Channel</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cFXR5SvUHcJg9t1GAHVotZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b783d57d-4de7-4d48-ac19-b442cb25e024.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Is biohacking the next phase of human evolution?</video:title><video:description>Nov 15, 2016, MarketWatch

Tom will tell you what he is doing and show you what possibilities there will be for mankind in the future. From sports watches and telephone apps to chips implanted in the body that will do much more than only measure your heartbeat and glucoselevel…

the step beyond Bio-Hacking.

After his training as a goldsmith Tom van Oudenaarden (1979) started in 2006 as a body piercer. Besides his piercing work, Tom is engaged in body modification with aesthetic intent. In 2013 he came in contact with bio-hacking, which has changed his life.

His interest in gadgets in combination with bio-hacking, got him started with implanting RFiD / NFC implants. According to Tom, this is the future. ‘Wearable’ technology will become ‘implantable’ technology.

The author of Ephesians has done a lot of damage. Here I explain why.

Dr. Joseph P. Laycock, scholar of new religious movements and specialist on satanism and satanic panic, joins me to discuss the dangerous idea of supreme evil in Christian tradition, pop culture, and politics. From Putin, to Rainbow Revival, to Isaiah Saldivar’s ministry, many use the idea of supernatural evil, demons, and devils, to achieve their individual goals. This can result in the spread of witch trials, religious wars, religious prejudice, or just plain old ignorance.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/035cbad8-c5c2-461d-b847-6a76b80403e4/e5e4159f-4f86-4b60-8b61-1e55d082194d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1q5EZwqeUeGVeiKrck9FpA</video:player_loc><video:duration>2569</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T08:02:59.959Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2PKDDSvZimzvZC1LwLExM6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3daae797-b525-44e0-9222-e71fc8cbf667.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>#297: Basics of the Smith Chart - Intro, impedance, VSWR, transmission lines, matching</video:title><video:description>Mar 7, 2019, w2aew

This "fun" video shows how a Vector Network Analyzer can be used to visualize the operation and impedance transformation that an HF Antenna Tuner (transmatch) performs when you make adjustments on it.  The reflection coefficient S11 is displayed in several formats (Smith Chart, Log Magnitude and SWR) with the VNA set to zero span operation.  After tuning up, the frequency is swept to view the response of the antenna system vs. frequency.  The VNA used in this video is a Tektronix TTR506A.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/73dc4c73-1786-4831-a20c-baa5ec007a96/1b4670b4-2f2f-45d1-9b9b-3124c1b6cb76-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fiNAkgZykQ7RVesPgDjqwJ</video:player_loc><video:duration>351</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T08:22:16.259Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Electronics</video:tag><video:tag>RF</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7bSBQ4Tng8DCRuD7GTVFxi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4c768463-c10b-4f95-aeb8-1aef07c32331.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>#312: Back to Basics: What is a VNA / Vector Network Analyzer</video:title><video:description>Jun 5, 2020, w2aew

This video presents the basic definition of a vector network analyzer (VNA), a practical view of how some of the measurements are performed, and an introduction to some of the common measurements that are made.  A few examples VNAs are shown.  Knowledge of transmission lines, reflections, VSWR, etc. is helpful, but not required for this video.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/321b76c5-56ef-4c66-a7ba-1c0de824950b/fcf395b7-90c5-41be-9e5b-9256ee8dfcec-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7bSBQ4Tng8DCRuD7GTVFxi</video:player_loc><video:duration>1009</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T08:25:58.101Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Electronics</video:tag><video:tag>RF</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fCrZBt9Rza8Qypj6cdjwVu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cbd13ca9-faed-4fdd-b2e7-b4db7a7361e5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>#314: How to use the NanoVNA to sweep / measure an antenna system's SWR and optimize its tuning</video:title><video:description>Jun 20, 2020, w2aew

This video briefly shows how to setup and use the NanoVNA to sweep an antenna system (antenna, transmission line, transmatch, etc.) to measure its VSWR, Reflection Coefficient, etc., and then shows how you can use it to monitor the tuning behavior as you make adjustments.  The basic steps include:

    Setting the traces that you want to display (SWR, Smith, S11)
    Setting the frequency range
    Running a Calibration
    Making the sweep
    Using Markers

CNBC</video:title><video:description>CNBC segment from May 24, 2016 featuring BuzzFeed tech reporter Charlie Warzel, who implanted an NFC payment chip in his hand as part of a month-long experiment to see if mobile payments had evolved enough for an average US consumer to ditch cash, checks, and physical cards entirely.

A Venmo engineer programmed the implanted chip so Warzel could pay for dinner by having a restaurant scan his hand with a smartphone, automatically deducting the cost via Venmo. He was reportedly the first person to pay for a meal this way.

After failed attempts to override the bomb through the ship's systems, Lieutenant Doolittle goes outside to reason with it directly.

Doolittle tries to teach the bomb phenomenology -- the philosophical idea that we can only know the world through our senses, and our senses can be deceived. He argues that the bomb cannot trust that the detonation order it received was real, since all of its inputs come through sensors that could be malfunctioning. The bomb appears to follow the logic and agrees to stand down.

However, the bomb takes the philosophy too far. Applying Cartesian doubt, it arrives at "I think, therefore I am" and concludes that since it cannot verify anything exists outside of itself, it must be the only thing that truly exists. The bomb decides it is God, and that detonation is the act of creation. It announces "Let there be light!"</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1e05af0b-6146-4469-a333-4197ed0155ac/9f5c1ed1-d32e-4c9b-b73f-7881a2116613-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4H2fLH3dCHT8aep4w9MDsd</video:player_loc><video:duration>265</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T18:45:52.159Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/csdoZY8CBFM6EYPDrHBpnG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/222b9431-43f7-4c1a-b1ec-6fd924ff7075.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>David Spade Take The Hit (1998) HBO Comedy Special</video:title><video:description>David Spade Take The Hit (1998) HBO Comedy Special</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5cbd80bf-6476-4d6b-b447-c4c039968f8e/8590db00-d44f-491d-be48-cf7c6964fc71-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/csdoZY8CBFM6EYPDrHBpnG</video:player_loc><video:duration>3370</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>2</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T18:49:08.151Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9QCWvdsmE365vx3PkpUya7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/282152ab-05c3-4cf5-adf3-cad4c50d7883.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DEF CON 17 - Chris Paget - RFID Mythbusting</video:title><video:description>DEF CON 17 - Chris Paget - RFID Mythbusting</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4793933d-11be-45d8-94da-e3384230e1c0/e98b7efd-6910-46be-ab26-37f76e549999-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9QCWvdsmE365vx3PkpUya7</video:player_loc><video:duration>2243</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T18:45:57.857Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1BLoAi8b5PafXbR1JUNfnR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ceffae10-b253-425c-8409-4ffab0329512.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DEF CON 18 - Chris Paget - Extreme-Range RFID Tracking</video:title><video:description>DEF CON 18 - Chris Paget - Extreme-Range RFID Tracking</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/04fe6350-fc7e-499c-b446-8f7581cb961b/8ec28312-076c-4376-83a0-bed61222eb5a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1BLoAi8b5PafXbR1JUNfnR</video:player_loc><video:duration>2797</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T18:49:00.682Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9zu1cQXoDqCt5nGQMck2TK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c12561d9-a410-4803-a15d-5236cd5b97c7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DC801 Presents Cracking Mifare Classic the Easy (and Cheap) Way</video:title><video:description>Nov 1, 2018, DC801

Dr. Webb, an optometrist with over 40 years of experience, presents the Ocumetics Bionic Lens -- a dynamic lens that replaces the natural eye lens via cataract surgery. The Bionic Lens could improve vision threefold beyond 20/20, auto-regulates by connecting to the eye's ciliary muscles, and was designed to integrate seamlessly with the digital world.

The lens was developed over 8 years of research at a cost of $3 million for R&amp;D, international patents, and clinical trials.

In it, David plays his signature skeptic through a series of historical vignettes -- dismissing the wheel, the fork, the toilet, the Declaration of Independence, the light bulb, and more -- before finally scoffing at FTX and cryptocurrency. The tagline: "Don't miss out on the next big thing." The ad cost FTX a reported $30 million and was widely praised at the time.

The second half is a news segment covering the sentencing of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried on March 28, 2024, who received 25 years in federal prison for orchestrating one of the largest financial frauds in US history. He was convicted on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy after an $8 billion collapse of FTX in November 2022 -- just nine months after the Larry David ad aired.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7d973ed6-66ea-48b4-ad01-c7e8f4b81063/ee6447e6-9478-4492-b92d-203d94cecf8f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gvuy4ie7xf2dkTEJcVYNNg</video:player_loc><video:duration>274</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-04-08T19:04:54.384Z</video:publication_date><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6W3xBQVoMbeD4tSX5xpiSJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2d2057da-37be-4631-9719-393c6463ed95.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Dinner Talk on Bionic Biohacking with Amal Graafstra</video:title><video:description>2016-09-23

The event theme was "A Disruptive World."

Watson argues that as we age we become more reserved, take fewer risks, and totally under-utilize our potential. He demonstrates how to reinvent yourself by disrupting your life path -- like defibrillating your whole life in one massive reset.

Ellis Watson is a high-energy business leader and board adviser who has led transformation across media, entertainment, and transport. Since 2023, he has served as Chief Business Adviser to Scotland's First Minister.

Freethink "Biohackers" series episode featuring Dr. Josiah Zayner, a biophysicist turned biohacker who created a mail-order DIY CRISPR kit that allows people to experiment with gene editing at home.

Zayner believes CRISPR is a nearly untapped resource that belongs in the hands of the public. His do-it-yourself kits are turning the scientific and medical communities upside down, with critics arguing genetic engineering should be left to licensed professionals, while Zayner hopes to democratize access rather than limit it to the rich and powerful.

Williams discusses Carl Sagan's 1996 book "The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark," published just months before Sagan's death, in which Sagan made eerily accurate predictions about the challenges the US would face 25 years later.

Among Sagan's warnings: "The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance."

"Safe to Armed in Seconds: A Study of Epic Fails of Popular Gun Safes"

An in-depth evaluation of some of the most popular small firearm lockboxes on the market, including the GunVault Microvault MV500, the BioBox, and the LokSAF PBS-001. These safes rely on mechanical locks, biometric locks, or a combination of both -- and tend to fail miserably in the face of any dedicated attacker.

Demonstrations include picking tubular locks with commodity tools (the BioBox "basically flew open instantly"), defeating biometric sensors with a straightened paper clip from outside the safe, and other bypass techniques that render these products essentially security theater.

Deviant Ollam is a GSA certified safe and vault technician and inspector, a security auditor and penetration testing consultant with The CORE Group, and a member of the Board of Directors of the US division of TOOOL (The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers).

"Unexpected Stories From a Hacker Who Made It Inside the Government"

Mudge, legendary hacker and former member of L0pht and cDc (Cult of the Dead Cow), shares stories from his time in a senior position at the Department of Defense and DARPA. Topics include Julian Assange's claims about US government involvement in WikiLeaks' origins, how the DoD accidentally provoked Anonymous into targeting government systems, security failures within the defense industrial base, and missed opportunities for positive outreach with the hacker community.

Mudge went on to become head of security at Stripe and later filed a whistleblower complaint against Twitter in 2022 regarding security and privacy deficiencies.

Monbiot argues that COP28 is structurally captured by the industries it should be regulating. Fossil fuel lobbyists outnumber nearly every national delegation, the summit president (Sultan Al Jaber) is CEO of the UAE's state oil company Adnoc, and the consensus-based system allows any nation to veto meaningful action. "What should be the most important summit on Earth is treated like a trade fair."

He argues that the two decisive measures -- agreements to leave fossil fuels in the ground and to end most livestock farming -- have never featured in any COP summit's final outcome, and that since climate negotiations began in 1992, they have coincided with record emissions rather than reductions.

Loller, who has over 450k TikTok followers, is known for using his military experience to call out misinformation. In this clip he addresses the absurdity of microchip tracking fears.

RFID/NFC implants have no GPS capability, no battery, no cellular connection, and a read range of a few centimeters at most. They cannot track your location any more than your library card can. Your smartphone, on the other hand, tracks you constantly -- and you carry it voluntarily.

Host Darren Kitchen travels to ToorCamp 2012 -- an epic hacker camp in the northwest corner of the continental US, hosting some of the nation's most creative hackers, makers, movers and shakers.

In this episode, Darren interviews RFID expert Amal Graafstra about RFID implant injection at the ToorCamp Implantation Station, where attendees could receive EM4102 RFID implants in the webbed area between thumb and index finger. Plus, George Spillman and Darren get hands-on with a massive photonic laser beam built by Hackerbot Labs from extracted projector laser modules -- powerful enough to be seen for miles, requiring FAA clearance.

A nostalgic ode to the ZX Spectrum and other home microcomputers of the 1980s. The song was originally written in 1999, but the Flash animated video published on the B3TA website on May 4, 2004 turned it into one of the first viral videos on the internet -- over two million downloads in the first week, and briefly the fifth most popular topic on blogs worldwide.

Lyrics celebrate the joys and frustrations of 1980s home computing: loading games from cassette tape, 16 kilobytes of RAM, rubber keyboards, and the magic of making a computer do something.

Song: MJ Hibbett &amp; The Validators
Animation: Rob Manuel (B3TA)

The teaser shows the aftermath of a Cyberpsycho rampage in downtown Night City, with the NCPD's MAX-TAC (Maximum Force Tactical Division) opening fire on a cyber-enhanced woman. The trailer was intended to attract talent to work on the game rather than represent the final product -- the game wouldn't release for another seven years.

-- Lyrics here --

Come touch me like I'm an ordinary man
Have a look in my eyes
Underneath my skin there is a violence
It's got a gun in its hands

Ready to make
Ready to make
Read-
Ready to make sense of anyone anything
Anyone anything
Anyone anything
Anyone anything
Anyone anything
Anyone anything

Black holes living in the side of your face
Razor wire spinning around you [+echo]
Blistering sky
Blistering sky
Blistering sky
Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky
Bullets are the beauty and I don't know why
Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky
Bullets are the beauty and I don't know why

Personal responsibility
Personal responsibility
Personal responsibility
Personal responsibility

Come find me
Let me be the lesser of a beautiful man
Without the blood on his hands
Come and make me a martyr
Come and break my feeling
With your violence
Put the gun in my hand

Ready to take...
Ready to take...
Ready to take...
Ready to take...
...Out anyone, anywhere
Anyone, anywhere
Anyone, anywhere
Anyone, anywhere
Anyone, anywhere

Black holes living in the side of your face
Razor wire spinning around you [+echo]
Blister in sky
Blister in sky
Blister in sky
Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky
Bullets are the beauty and I don't know why
Bullets are the beauty of the blistering sky
Bullets are the beauty and I don't know why

Personal responsibility
Personal responsibility
Personal responsibility
Personal responsibility

Black holes living in the side of your face
Razor wire spinning around you [+echo]
Blistering sky

Wanderers - a short film by Erik Wernquist [Official Version]. Wanderers is a vision of humanity's expansion into the Solar System, based on scientific ideas and concepts of what our future in space might look like, if it ever happens. The locations depicted in the film are digital recreations of actual places in the Solar System, built from real photos and map data where available. Without any apparent story, other than what you may fill in by yourself, the idea of the film is primarily to show a glimpse of the fantastic and beautiful nature that surrounds us on our neighboring worlds - and above all, how it might appear to us if we were there. As some may notice I have borrowed ideas and concepts from science fiction authors such as Kim Stanley Robinson and Arthur C. Clarke, just to name a few. And visually, I of course owe many tips of my hat to painter Chesley Bonestell - the legendary master of space art. More directly, with kind permission from Ann Druyan I have also borrowed the voice of astronomer and author Carl Sagan to narrate the film. The audio I used are excerpts from his own reading of his book 'Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space'

EXTRA INFORMATION:

At 10:36, the mod shows the incorrect attribution. It should read "Acquisitive Soul Gems mod and screenshot by bluedanieru"

Also, a clarification: at about 30 minutes, it is mentioned that the post was made in 2014 but the date on the post shown is 2017. This is because the shown image is of a repost of the original 2014 post.

If you want a place to start at The Foundation, my personal favorite is The Human Beowulf Complex, aka SCP-763.

I'm a huge fan of the SCP Foundation, enough that I GMed a campaign based in the setting and made audio files like the one in the trailer for it. In order to save on time, I unfortunately had to skip over the roleplaying tradition that's still alive and well today in the SCP community.

Around 2 billion years ago, life had plateaued in complexity, ruined the atmosphere, and was on the verge of self-annihilation. But then something strange and potentially extremely lucky happened that enabled endless new evolutionary paths. The first eukaryote cell was born. This may also explain why there are no aliens.

Not only does it unnecessarily pit programmers against designers, but it also limits our vision of what we could be doing. 

In this talk, Scott Jenson gives examples of how focusing on UX -- instead of UI -- frees us to think bigger. This is especially true for the desktop, where the user experience has so much potential to grow well beyond its current interaction models. The desktop UX is certainly not dead, and this talk suggests some future directions we could take.

About Scott
Scott Jenson has been a leader in UX design and strategic planning for over 35 years. He was the first member of Apple’s Human Interface group in the late '80s, and has since held key roles at several major tech companies. He served as Director of Product Design for Symbian in London, managed Mobile UX design at Google, and was Creative Director at frog design in San Francisco. He returned to Google to do UX research for Android and is now a UX strategist in the open-source community for Mastodon and Home Assistant.

🌍 Ubuntu Summit 25.10 is a showcase for the innovative and the ambitious.

Experts feared that by 2026, there would be so many people that we would be starved of resources, and eat ourselves to death. Ironically we now find ourselves in a world where we’re not 
scared about having too many babies, but rather too few. So what happened?
Matt Bevan takes a deep dive into the archives to find out.

Nowadays, house prices have sky rocketed and younger generations largely feel locked out. So where did it all go wrong?

Now, fortunately, that never happened. But ironically fast forward to 2026 and the sense of dread of a nuclear war has been replaced by the impending threat of climate change, or being overrun by our AI overlords. So are we destined to feel doomed?

PERMANENTLY. Why Did The Navy CLASSIFY This in 1942?</video:title><video:description>What if one of the cheapest products in the hardware store could turn rust itself into a protective barrier instead of just covering it up? In this video, we dive into the chemistry of phosphoric acid and the long history behind phosphate conversion coatings, from ancient metalworkers to British patents, wartime manufacturing, and the U.S. Navy�s large scale use during World War II.

We explore how rust can be chemically transformed into iron phosphate, why parkerizing became such an important military finish, and why this old method still matters for anyone dealing with tools, truck frames, fences, railings, or corroded steel today. You will also see the basic step by step process, what to look for at the hardware store, how the color change happens, and why so many people still swear by this treatment decades later.

If you are into forgotten chemistry, practical restoration, military history, old patents, and low cost solutions that still work, this episode is for you.

In this video we dive into compound parabolic concentrators (CPCs) and their incredible ability to focus light from multiple input angles onto a central target at once. This allows them to provide concentrated solar heat without active solar tracking, as well as increased absorbance from indirect sources (such as scattered light in cloudy weather). The method I use in this video is called a "string construction", which uses a string to simulate the reflection of light rays and sketch out idealized reflective curves.

In this video I build a mini camper from a zero-turn lawnmower. This camper is the start of my efforts to apply my projects on a practical scale. In future videos we'll continue to explore radiative cooling, power generation and storage, outdoor skills, and many other things that can be put to the test when applied to this camper. I had a lot of fun with this build, so I wouldn't be surprised if we made more mini living spaces in the future.

In this video we're back to one of my favorite projects that I started playing with more than 10 years ago: making giant bubbles. After experimenting with many of my own mixtures, I've found the best consistency in results comes from a variation of a recipe found on the Soap Bubble Wiki, "Mike's Gooey Mix". That is the baseline mixture used for the tests in this video. The original recipe can be found on this page: https://soapbubble.fandom.com/wiki/Recipes

My modification of this recipe is as follows:
  -  4 cups (950 mL) Dawn Platinum
  -  8g J-Lube
  -  14g Baking Powder
  -  4.25 gal (16 L) Hot Water

Here is an affiliate link for giant bubble supplies (I will earn a small commission from sales made through this link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/nighthawkinlight/list/1SCW3PPJQ8DHF?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ons_mixed_d

For non-US detergent brands that may be substituted for Dawn Platinum see this section of the Soap Bubble Wiki: https://soapbubble.fandom.com/wiki/Detergent#Outside_the_USA

By my experimentation the most important part of the bubble mix is to achieve a proper pH balance. The above recipe includes exactly enough baking powder to neutralize the alkalinity of the detergent and bring the solution to 7-7.5 pH when using the fairly alkaline ground water in my area. If your water source is on the acidic side or if you need to switch in a different detergent you will benefit from buying pH test strips to adjust how much baking powder is needed to reach 7-7.5 pH.

Some commercial giant bubble concentrates are also available for purchase through the affiliate link above. I have not tested them, but I suspect they will give fairly good results in most circumstances.

In this video we build a machine to make fabric from PLA that has been specially modified for high reflectivity. Because of PLA's strong emissivity in the infrared sky cooling window it is potentially a very good option for radiative sky cooling.

The most useful resource I found while investigating phase change materials was the following paper which explores several different types of low temp salt based PCMs: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/316893824_Preparation_and_thermal_properties_of_Glauber's_salt-based_phase-change_materials_for_Qinghai-Tibet_Plateau_solar_greenhouses

The key to reducing the melting point of a PCM is to make what is called a eutectic mixture ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutectic_system ). In this case that is a mixture of two different hydrated salts. When the two come together the freezing point of both is lowered to a temperature which depends on the particular salts used and the ratio between them. Sodium sulfate and table salt (sodium chloride)

In this video I decided to make a solar heating panel with design features that will be compatible with sky cooling later on. Solar heating is a very efficient method of using solar energy, with the ability to absorb 900-1000w/m2 of heat from sunlight, compared to only 200-300w/m2 of electricity that could be generated from a similarly sized standard solar panel.

Here are a few links to solar fan kits that can be used to complete this project (these are affiliate links):

In this video we explore new methods of making cutting edge radiative sky cooling paint with common grocery and hardware store items. This paint when properly applied can allow for clean, electricity free air conditioning to several degrees below ambient air temperature in direct sunlight.

My previous radiative cooling paint video: https://youtu.be/N3bJnKmeNJY
Cooling paint video(s) by Tech Ingredients: https://youtu.be/5zW9_ztTiw8 &amp; https://youtu.be/dNs_kNilSjk

NightHawkInLight's super CaCO₃ micro-sphere pigment recipe:

Sodium Carbonate (washing soda) ......... 20g dissolved in 200 mL water

Calcium Chloride (painter's desiccant) ... 10g dissolved in 100 mL water

Citric Acid (used for canning) .................. 3g dissolved in 30 mL water

1. Combine Calcium Chloride and Citric Acid solutions into one container.
2. Adjust the temperature of the liquids to be between 10-20°C (50-70°F).
3. Pour Calcium Chloride/Citric Acid solution into mixer and begin stirring.
4. Pour the Sodium Carbonate solution into the mixer and begin a timer.
5. Allow solution to mix for 1 minute.
6. Turn off mixer and pour the liquid into a separate container.
7. Wash the mixer with vinegar and water to prepare for the next batch.
***Make 3 total batches following steps 1-7, each time allowing the solution to mix for 1
minute. To save time you can make large quantities of the starting solutions all at once,
chill all of it to 10-20°C, and then measure out enough for individual batches by volume
just prior to mixing.
8. Make a fourth batch, mixing for an increased time of 5 minutes.
***Optional: Make a fifth batch at 1/3 scale, mixing for an increased time of 8-10 minutes.
9. Allow 20-60 minutes for the pigment to settle out of all batches.
10. Pour the water off the top of the settled pigment and refill containers with water.
11. Repeat settling and pouring off water 1-2 more times.

In addition to this I compare multiple methods of intumescent fire protection to find out if expandable graphite preforms as well as carbon foam.

As a result of my tests in this video: For indoor intumescent fireproofing I recommend using commercially made paints containing ammonium or melamine polyphosphate and pentaerythritol. I have not compared brand names to identify the very best fireproof paint, but several that I believe will provide very good protection are as follows:
- Contego Reactive Fire Barrier
- Firetect WT-102
- Fireguard E84
- Flameoff Fire Barrier Paint

This machine was purchased on Aliexpress for about $900 ($300 for the machine, $600 for shipping). The seller has since deleted their account. It seems these machines are made and sold by a variety of different factories with subtle differences between designs. After a bit of work improving a few faults in the manufacturing it seems to work well. I'll likely use the rope from this machine for a number of future projects.

Here is one of my earlier videos about making grass rope by hand: https://youtu.be/5DG26XDPpB8

The title of this video makes quite a claim that I'm certain will be disputed in the comments from a perfectly literal perspective, however, flammable materials is an official classification typically reserved for things that are more flammable than ordinary objects like paper and wood. For that reason, I think calling these sparklers non-flammable is an accurate descriptor for practical purposes. Certainly they are the least flammable fireworks in the world, and the only fireworks that do not contain an oxidizing or explosive ingredient. The use of potassium bicarbonate (and sodium bicarbonate) as the primary mass of a firework composition is completely novel, and makes these very safe both to make and store compared to other fireworks.

This uses an electrolysis design I built in my previous video (which can be seen here): https://youtu.be/d85OX6yEwE0

This torch is useful for a variety of chemistry experiments as well as small welding and jewelry projects. At one point in this video I demonstrate its use for making synthetic rubies, an experiment I have done on several occasions via other means. Check these videos for more on that topic:

Check out this video's sponsor, MEL Physics! Use the promo code "nighthawk" for 50% your first set of experiments: https://melscience.com/s3p/

Most DC power supplies will work adequately well for electrolysis, the most common of which is a 12v battery charger or a car battery itself. For more control it is best to use an adjustable power supply. Here is an affiliate link where you can purchase a similar 30v 10a power supply as I use in this video: https://ebay.us/2DY3Y0

The last design shown in this video for a combined output HHO fuel cell I first stumbled on here: https://youtu.be/bIVbbqRkudw

After filming this video I realized that the plastic bottles I used for several of my designs had become quite brittle, and found research showing that hydroxide solutions are known to be quite damaging to plastics: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/chemistry/environmental-stress-cracking
I did not notice increased brittleness in the clear plastic container of my final split electrolysis design, but the plastic is much thicker and so it may take longer to show weakness. A suitable precaution to give the cell the longest life may be to empty it of electrolyte while in storage. A stainless steel or glass container should be able to store the hydroxide solution indefinitely.

Links to find the supplies used in this video (these are affiliate links):
Pine fatwood: http://ebay.us/VfuaKm
Glass dip pens: http://ebay.us/r22mdj
Animal hide glue: http://ebay.us/Xsi1df

Note that you only need a few small grains of hide glue added to your ink to stop it from smearing once dry. The ink will work without glue, using only water and lampblack as ingredients but it may smear once dry similar to if you had used a pencil.

Using this method it's possible to convert nearly any carbon source (recycled materials, coal, carbon black, etc.) directly into graphene.

This was discovered by a graduate student, Duy Loung of Rice labs, as detailed in this article (videos of the process are contained within): http://news.rice.edu/2020/01/27/rice-lab-turns-trash-into-valuable-graphene-in-a-flash-2/

The first Flash Graphene article as published in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-020-1938-0

An updated article detailing Flash Graphene morphologies: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.0c05900?ref=pdf

As a result of these discoveries Dr. James Tour (the lead chemist at Rice labs), and his team have founded the company Universal Matter Inc. in their endeavor to scale and automate the flash graphene process for commercial production. In only a few months they have multiplied their methods to produce 6 grams with each 30-100ms discharge of 48 high voltage capacitors, in a scalable model that may produce as much as 1 ton per day.

Here are two excellent videos demonstrating the electrochemical exfoliation method for producing graphene in bulk:

A special thanks to James Van Daele for digging up Boeing's patent for fire resistant plastic and sending it my way. That patent can be seen here (still in effect): https://patents.google.com/patent/US7618563

Here is a now expired patent filed by Monsanto (go figure) in 1978 which is now expired, and dives deep into the chemistry of intumescent coatings. Very enlightening, and thanks to it's expired status it is probably the core of the many modern insumescent paints now on the market: https://patents.google.com/patent/US4247435A/
(Possibly coincidental, but it is interesting that this patent was filed just a few years before the invention of Starlite.)

This is the oldest patent for an intumescent fireproofing product I was able to find: https://patents.google.com/patent/BE568040A/en

For this project I set out to make a wood burning camping stove that could heat a shelter or hot tent (an open floored tent made for use with a stove) without weighing you down on a hike. For such purposes it's necessary to use a chimney, which I decided should take the form of a walking stick. The stoves shown in this video have a total weight of about 3 lbs each (1.4 kg), and are very easy to walk with. The price for each is about $20, and even less if you can find a few of the pieces in your recycling bin.

Here is my earlier video about soup can stoves (useful for cooking, but not for heating a shelter): https://youtu.be/deCzUOZyII8

The parts used for this project are a 2 liter bottle, a 3 foot length of ½ inch diameter PVC pipe, and a piece of string. I use fairly strong gardening string for the bass version of this guitar, and kite string for the standard tuned guitars. Fishing line would be another great option.

Another name for a single string guitar is a diddley bow, and many great tutorials are available for playing these instruments. This is a great place to start: https://youtu.be/KojZ7CmT4Ik

Vehicle repairs will certainly go smoother in my shop with this torch on hand.

It's been on my mind how important charity is in the world right now, and especially for those who were already in desperate need before current events. I will just add one charity here that I hope some will give to, but if you have other charitable preferences I encourage you to donate wherever you feel it will do the most good. https://childrenshungerfund.org/give

Visit my sponsor Tab For A Cause and support charities with every tab you open! https://tab.gladly.io/nighthawk/

Ryota Tsutsui and his wife Kyoko were incredibly welcoming to me as I visited their fireworks factory to learn about senko hanabi. They have dedicated their lives to preserving these fireworks and uplifting their community in ways far deeper than I expected. Much of my time there I was unable to capture my own camera footage, as I had a job to do being filmed for Japanese TV. To make up for the lack of context I was able to show in this video I highly recommend watching this short documentary to see more behind the scenes of this amazing company and family: https://youtu.be/1ejFex4bNjg

Here is a link to the Tsutsui Tokimasa website: https://tsutsuitokimasa.jp/item

Check out my sponsor Brilliant for a really fun way to learn! https://www.Brilliant.org/NightHawk

I'm calling this a 'how to' video, but really it's deeper than that. This is a dive into what it takes to design a backyard rollercoaster. I took a lot of inspiration for the style of this video from Destin at Smarter Every Day. Let me know if you'd like to see more of this type of video on my channel!

Paul Gregg is a retired aerospace engineer who I spent the day with learning about his backyard rollercoasters. His rollercoasters are designed and tested to the same standards as airplanes, which is incredible considering the materials to build them are available at any hardware store. Paul has made backyard rollercoasters accessible to anyone with basic tools and a yard to work in.

You can find Paul's books and other information about building your own rollercoaster on his website: https://backyardrollercoasters.org/

This was a very ambitious video to film as it was the first on my channel that required significant travel expenses.

I used to buy these in gas stations on camping trips and think about how they work. Keep in mind this was before I had access to a camera to film them, let alone a slow motion camera. This video may be an example of my ability to make a simple concept complicated, but I'm sure if that's the case you'll set me straight in the comments below.

I'm sure I'll be asked the question of why not just spray a store bought labyrinth game with a hydrophobic coating, and yes that is possible if you don't care to make your own. For those that try it will be tricky to get an even coating but it should work fine with multiple coats.

For this system I use two 10rpm, 6v geared electric motors, and four 5v, 0.6w solar panels connected in a configuration that allows the motors to constantly move the panels into shade (purchasing links for these items below). The cost of the electronics was about $10, and could easily be scaled up or down as necessary for a variety of solar applications.

Thanks to my sponsor Squarespace you can make a great website easily! Check them out at: https://www.squarespace.com/nighthawk

I've been working toward this video for a long while with my woodgas series. Woodgas as a biofuel is useful primarily for the reason of being able to run gasoline engines as I'm working on here, as well as being easily piped into modern gas systems to run stoves, furnaces, etc.. Whenever using woodgas it's important to remember it is in large part carbon monoxide. CO detectors are essential inside the cab of any vehicle running woodgas as fuel or inside any rooms using woodgas fuelled appliances.

Thanks to my sponsor Squarespace you can make a great website easily! Check them out at: https://www.squarespace.com/nighthawk

Vacuum cannons are one of my favorite science experiments for demonstrating pressure differentials and atmospheric pressure. They never fail to get a huge response from a crowd. I've been improving upon my piston operated design over the last year, and while this new version adds some complexity to the design it has a number of improvements as well.

New features of this cannon: 
1. Crank operated piston which eliminates the need to tether the barrel down and reduces the cannon's footprint
2. Magnetic piston allows easy attachment of projectiles
3. No home made burst discs required as they have been replaced with plastic cups

Air intrusion in a low pressure storage tank is always a risk, so this question is an important one. Though my conclusion in the video is that wood gas is not combustible below a 50/50 ratio with air, flame arresters are still a good precaution to take. If air is injected into the storage tank and ignited quickly enough (prior to evenly distributing) there could be a flammable pocket of gas at the correct ratios to cause ignition, in which case the top of the gasometer could be blown off and expose the rest of the gas to air. This is an unlikely, but possible scenario that a flame arrester would help prevent.

So what is wood gas good for? A lot of you have asked that question. The main point of wood gas is to turn a renewable fuel like wood/plant matter into a form that is compatible to be burned by modern technology like cars, generators, stoves, etc.. Wood gas is a fuel that can be made by anyone with simple equipment, and can run a gasoline engine with only minor modifications. The process I use in this video to make it produces a very clean result, but is not the most efficient way to make large quantities of gas for immediate burning. I'll be demonstrating other methods of wood gas production in future videos.

Thanks to LastPass for sponsoring this video! Click here to try LastPass for FREE: http://bit.ly/2huNj2L 

The specific action camera used in this video is HEIHEI brand, but the exact same style of camera can be found under dozens of brand names. Chances are if you purchase a camera that claims 16mp photos and 4k video resolution (at 15fps) it will be the same or adequately similar in design that this modification will go smoothly. You can find these cameras even cheaper than the $35 I paid for mine. Here is an ebay search results link that should turn up a lot of options (This is an affiliate link. Results are filtered for cameras under $40): http://ebay.to/2h8dd8A

Here is another affiliate link where you can find c-mount extension tubes: http://ebay.to/2wituCk

And another one for a few c mount lenses. I particularly like the Computar 8.5mm f/1.3 lens on this camera (I also like the Computar 6mm f/1.2, and the Fujian 25mm, 35mm, and 50mm. Tons of great inexpensive c mount lenses out there!): http://ebay.to/2vZd79m

A lot of you will probably notice a number of black spots on my action camera footage. That is dust on the sensor. It seems my tape didn't do an adequate job of protecting it but I was able to clean the dust off with a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab. I think it could have used a cleaning anyway even before I opened it up as I noticed a smudge probably left by someones finger during assembly. Certainly there's not a lot of quality control on a $35 off brand camera.

Be sure to check out my sponsor for this video, Blue Apron! First 100 people to sign up will get three meals off their Blue Apron order free! Click here: http://cook.ba/2wsa0HY

The stove in this video is an excellent little wood stove that burns fuel cleanly, and unlike DIY alcohol stoves can burn for long periods of time without needing to be extinguished to refuel. I also prefer wood stoves over alcohol because you don't need to carry fuel with you, sticks are a renewable resource you can find almost anywhere.

My DIY pot stand is composed of three steel wires, each with a 90 degree bend on both sides. There are also three sections of steel tubing (brake line) that are the legs of the stand. The bend in the wires are inserted into the legs to make a triangle shape between the three. It's a very stable design. You may notice I crimped the legs around the wires so that they are a tighter fit but this is not necessary. Here is another pot stand in this same design: https://youtu.be/uTabyy59Q1Y

A byproduct of my charcoal making process is wood gas, a mixture of many flammable gasses that can be used as fuel. Wood gas is simple to make, but requires some careful thought to collect and process to remove tar and other contaminants. My collection method could use some work, but I did end up with a reasonable quantity of purified gas by the end.

I used to build large and complex fireworks regularly, but these little sparklers proved more challenging than even large multibreak shells. The effect produced by a tiny drop of dross that forms on the end of the sparkler is very delicate and even a tiny change in the composition or method of construction causes the result to fail. Finally I have found a method that creates consistent results which I demonstrate in this video. Still, there is room for improvement.

Possible changes to the composition include replacing or supplementing the charcoal with soot (commonly called lampblack) or even graphite. My composition shown in this video contains a higher percentage of oxidizer than most documented Senko Hanabi compositions as I rely on the paper wrapping itself to contribute to the fuel mixture in consuming the potassium nitrate. I have tried a wide spread of compositions including more traditional ratios and found this to work best.

It is not well documented what reaction is the cause of the sparks forming and being ejected from the ball of dross on a Senko Hanabi. I suspect it is a reaction between sulfur dioxide produced by the burning sulfur reacting with carbon in the charcoal to form a variety of byproducts that eject yet unreacted carbon out of the drop where it further reacts in the air. Perhaps catalyzed by remaining potassium salts left over by the potassium nitrate. Here is a paper I uncovered about similar reactions: http://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/6/1/130/htm

Here is another written tutorial for Senko Hanabi that you may find useful: http://bit.ly/2vPQ5VP

In this video I attempt to make all of the compounds required for this reaction from ingredients that would have been accessible in ancient history.

One of the key ingredients, lead nitrate, would not have been available at the time according to my research (please leave a comment below if you have information showing otherwise), so instead I attempt to use lead acetate which I was able to make via acetic acid in vinegar. I believe the most likely ancient source of an iodine component is the ash from burnt seaweed. While I myself was only able to extract a small amount of iodine from ground kelp (you will see in this video that I supplement my yield with commercially made potassium iodide) you can see a more successful extraction on the channel Cody's Lab to prove a larger quantity is possible: https://youtu.be/jmWB1Sl2uzE

This video was unscripted and filmed as I made my very first attempt at testing this idea. I take a while to reach the final result but I hope you enjoy watching the process! I really want to thank my Patreon supporters for helping me to keep this channel going, especially my top patrons: Syniurge, Matthew Leitzke, &amp; TheBackyardScientist

If measured correctly the pendulums converge to form a variety of patterns on a repeating cycle.

Here are the measurements I used, starting with the longest pendulum and moving toward the shortest: 230mm, 211mm, 196mm, 183mm, 170mm, 159mm, 149mm, 140mm, 131mm, 124mm, 117mm, 110mm, 105mm, 99mm, 94mm, 89mm

Using the equation in the video you can make a pendulum wave of any size by replacing the variable 'L' with the desired length of your longest pendulum when calculating the variable 'K'. Once K has been determined for that starting length Just replace the variable 'n' with the number 2 through however many more pendulums you would like in the series and calculate L for each of them.

I found the equation for calculating pendulum lengths on this page: https://www.education.com/science-fair/article/pendulum-waves/

Using 1 1/4" PVC fittings you can make a piston for 2" pipe, with 3" fittings a piston can be made for 4" pipe, and though I did not mention it in the video, a piston for 1" pipe can be made using 3/4" fittings. I'll be putting these to use quite soon in upcoming projects.

Vacuum cannons are a classic science experiment used to demonstrate atmospheric pressure, though very rarely are they made as large as this. My ammunition is 3 inch PVC end caps, and atmospheric pressure is the only force responsible for firing them. See my earlier video for how to build a manual vacuum pump: https://youtu.be/UkPLu6mgdWA

I skipped over making a full tutorial for the Jacob's Ladder in this video in favor of just giving a description seeing as how the design is so simple, but I expect many of you will ask about how to modify the arc lighter. Check out this earlier project of mine where I take an arc lighter and modify it so the high voltage is directed through the pair of wires that are connected to the Jacob's Ladder in this project: https://youtu.be/uKmGVNs_y7o

The arc lighters used in this video can be purchased through the following link (this is an affiliate link): http://ebay.to/29Qpmwj I recommend one with a single arc as I am unsure if the internals of a dual arc lighter would be compatible with this project.

See also this project where I first made the bismuth levitator: https://youtu.be/A5pZZJ23rDM

I've been playing with how to this method for the past few weeks and am having some trouble, but I know it's possible.
Check out this video to see where I got my inspiration: https://youtu.be/jEnNMTMZadw
I tried this same method at one point a few years ago and had better results than I have so far been able to replicate in my latest experiments. Possible causes that I'm considering: 
1. The metal etching paint formula has been changed 
2. Paint requires a longer time to cure
3. Baking soda is not an acceptable replacement for salt (I used baking soda in these latest tests because it does not produce chlorine gas as NaCl does)

You've probably got just enough time to build this before Halloween. Most other designs that use only a single fan require the tornado to be fully enclosed, which means you can't actually reach in and touch it. With this design you can play with the vortex hands on. Consider supporting my channel on Patreon! Link: https://www.patreon.com/NightHawkProjects

The fan I used for this project can be found with a search for '6 Inch Inline Duct Fan'. That will probably be the most expensive part at around $60-80. I run the fan on it's lowest setting so you may be able to get away with using a 4 inch fan which would be less expensive, but it may be louder as it would run at higher speeds for the same airflow.

The ultrasonic foggers are the other unusual part used in this project, and you can find those here (this is an affiliate link): http://ebay.to/2aQK5Sk

Polyethylene and other hydrocarbon plastics are an exception to the rule, and produce primarily only H2O and CO2 upon burning with adequate oxygen. The vapor that the drops leave behind is a mixture of paraffin compounds. With this experiment the drops are cooled off as they fall and so they do not maintain their combustion temperature long enough to fully burn. Polyethylene is capable of complete combustion with very little in the way of unintended byproducts if combustion takes place in a suitable environment.

I know I'm going to get a lot of questions about the lighter I used in this video, and I'll be using it again as part of my next project. If you're interested you can find one here (this is an affiliate link): http://ebay.to/29Qpmwj

Thanks to my sponsor for this video, VideoBlocks! Get a 7 day free trial here: http://www.videoblocks.com/x/nighthawkinlight_0516

The electronics I used in this project consist of:
1 Mono Audio Jack (1/4")
1 Piezoelectric Transducer
1 Potentiometer (must use one with a 5 Meg Ohm rating or better)

Other parts and tools required:
Cigar Box (or other wooden box)
Copper Wire
Solder
Soldering Iron
Drill
Wood Glue (and/or hot glue)

You may also want to add some sticky back furniture pads to the bottom corners of the box so it's not sitting directly on the ground. That may or may not matter depending on what surface the box is played on.

This search results link should give you some options for 5 Meg Ohm potentiometers that will work with a piezoelectric pickup (this is an affiliate link): http://ebay.to/1NPBFck

Here's a link for piezo pickups. You should probably get ones that already have wires soldered onto them (this is an affiliate link): http://ebay.to/1UsNSVP

Finally, here's a link for mono audio jacks (another affiliate link): http://ebay.to/1ObvdXK

It's been brought to my attention that dry ice is not legal in some countries. You can make ice cream in the same way on a thick piece of steel or stone that has been left in the freezer overnight. You just have to work fast because it won't stay cold enough for very long.

You can see my video building the previous Static Electricity Generator here: https://youtu.be/GGx83KppSCQ

The generator featured in this video is less powerful than my old versions as the electronics are less capable of high currents and voltages, but it produces enough of an effect to put on a good show. This version also doesn't hurt as much to use. My previous model shocks hard! Both versions have their place for various demonstrations.

My inspiration for using fans to create the vortex was from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL_VUh4gzIk

The green colorant used was boric acid, and for the last clip where the flame had a mixture of red and other colors I had thrown in a handful of strontium nitrate. Fuel was isopropyl alcohol for the standard flame, then methyl alcohol for the colored flames.

Their use commercially is usually for demolition purposes as they have the ability to cut through incredible thicknesses of steel. Both because of the extreme heat they produce as well as their ability to oxidize and burn whatever material they are cutting, in addition to the simple melting action that would be provided by a torch.

I do not recommend you replicate this project without extensive experience with oxygen cutting tools. Pure oxygen is very dangerous and can burn through otherwise fire resistant materials. It should NOT be used without full welding safety equipment.

Even today some commercially made ropes are wound with the same process. Other natural fibers can be used to create rope (some being much stronger than grass), and this method will work equally as well with any other flexible material. Grass does tend to become brittle when dry which could weaken this rope, but even then it does maintain some strength. In moderate humidity weakness from drying should not become an issue at all.

Note that for best results, each of the two tails of the rope should be twisted an equal number of turns as they're wound. That will ensure that the two coils wind around one another tightly and in a double helix pattern. If one side is twisted less than the other it will tend to stay straight, while the more twisted side coils around it like a spring. When I first started winding the rope in the video you can see I didn't do a very good job twisting both strands evenly for the first few inches, and one side was coiled more than the other. Try to avoid that, as it will be a weak point.

It can either be set along a game trail to be triggered passively by creatures passing by, or bait can be applied to the horizontal trigger stick. For very small animals the trap and loop of rope should be made smaller for best success, and for very large animals it can be made using stronger rope and a bigger tree as the spring.

There are different regulations for trapping animals depending on the location, and this trap may be illegal in some areas. Check the local laws before building traps of any kind. In general I only recommend traps be used in actual survival situations where obtaining food is a necessity. The trap in this video was disassembled after filming.

The knots used in this video were a bowline and a slip knot. I have a video demonstrating how to tie a bowline here: https://youtu.be/Q9NqGd7464U

It floats on pure SCIENCE!

Below are some links you can use to purchase bismuth and the magnets seen in this video, but first a word of warning: Strong magnets can be really dangerous, especially if you have more than one. The 1" cylinder magnet that I use for this project could break bones if you let your hand get between it and another large magnet as they snap together. Smaller magnets that are pulled against a larger one might shatter on impact and fire out sharp chips. I recommend eye protection while working with them. Lastly, don't purchase strong magnets if you live around anyone with a pacemaker. Pacemakers are adjusted magnetically and could malfunction if exposed to strong magnetic fields.

Bismuth can be purchased here (this is an affiliate link): http://ebay.to/1TihOkv Note that to create large crystals like I do in this video you will probably need at least 5 pounds of Bismuth, but you could probably use as little as 1 pound to cast two small plates that would function fine for a levitator. They don't need to be nearly as thick as the plates on my prototype to function.

A 1" neodymium cylinder magnet can be purchased here (another affiliate link): http://ebay.to/1CXtGiD

And the 1/4" magnets (I incorrectly called them 1/8" in the video) (affiliate link): http://ebay.to/1RhIWTg

No, unfortunately this is not an over-unity device, though in a vacuum it would very nearly be a perpetual motion device as the magnet would have nothing to slow it from spinning without air resistance.

Here are some of my sources I stumbled on while researching this video:

The first video I saw on the subject: https://youtu.be/MMEkA2_N6vY

A great page for learning about the physics of diamagnetic levitation: https://www.kjmagnetics.com/blog.asp?p=diamagnetic-levitation

This video inspired the final design I decided to use for my build, very elegant: https://youtu.be/_Gtwg-jTItY

In case you missed my previous video about building a Cigar Box Guitar, you should definitely check it out. I go much more in depth about every step of the process and how it can be done with very inexpensive tools: https://youtu.be/FDKCvCQzkTk

The X-Carve CNC machine can be found here: https://www.inventables.com/

I used this open source vector editing software to draw up my guitar design: https://inkscape.org/

I haven't figured out a good host for my vector design files yet. If you know of one let me know in the comments (just the name, not the full web address. I have website addresses blocked in the comments to deter spammers).

To determine the proper fret measurements I used this online calculator: http://www.harpkit.com/category/fretcalc.html

In my final instrument I found that the intonation was a bit off. I think that's due to the bridge being at a perfect 90 degree angle to the strings. It should be on a bit of an angle to give the thicker strings a slightly longer scale. That may be a change I make on the next one. I also used a 23" scale length in this video whereas I cut my previous guitars with a 24" scale which is a bit more forgiving.

Thanks for watching! #NightHawkInLight

It makes a pretty cool display!

Be sure if you try this to have plenty of water circulation in your tank or the water in the suspended area could become oxygen deprived. There really shouldn't be any problems if the tank is well functioning prior to adding the new compartment. You may also want to put a wide base of some kind below the supports so the extra weight is spread over a larger area and you won't risk cracking the bottom of your tank.

I learned the trick with the styrofoam float from this video: https://youtu.be/miAfNiVWjqw #NightHawkInLight

Large commercially made vortex cannons are used (theoretically) to disrupt hail formation and prevent damage to farmland. German scientists during WWII also constructed a large vortex cannon designed as an anti air gun. The plan was to use a powdered fuel that would mix and ignite within the vortex ring, allowing it to increase in strength as it was fired into the clouds. The purpose in that case was to create an impact with allied aircraft powerful enough to snap the wings off. It never did see use. In a future video I may try integrating a fuel into the vortex rings just to see if the idea really had merit.

In any case this project was an interesting one, and a great first project to film with my new high speed camera. Leave my some feedback in the comments!

Thanks once again to my sponsor ThruNite for helping to fund this video! Revenue from YouTube has been in decline over the last year so my sponsors are a huge support to allow me to make the best videos I can. I've been really happy with all the lights I've been able to test, they're extremely impressive.

I decided for this video I would experiment with a Guar Gum based Giant Bubble recipe after many requests over the last year. It seems to work very well! On par at least with the J-Lube based recipe that I used in this video: https://youtu.be/VXsPqUFsArM That is also the video to watch if you would like to learn how to make the giant bubble nets.

The best dish soap for bubbles is up for debate, but generally Dawn Platinum Power Clean is seen as one of the best. I also like Dawn's hypoalergenic dish soap which seems to work nearly as well and can be easier to find in stores. Anything labeled as a concentrate of '2x' is typically not very good.

Giant bubbles will work best in high humidity and in cool air, so mornings and late afternoons will give the best results. The middle of the night can also give great results, and the colors created in the bubbles by artificial lights are quite interesting as can be seen in this video: https://youtu.be/1sLu-TRYOeI

You can go further to even out the tension by tempering the springs after they have been wound by heating them in an oven at 400 - 500 Fahrenheit for 20 minutes or so. Here is a calculator that can be used to determine what wire and winding pitch to use for specific spring tensions and other various traits: http://www.efunda.com/designstandards/springs/calc_comp_designer.cfm#calc #NightHawkInLight

Bismuth is non-toxic and has a number of very interesting properties. For best results I recommend using at least 4 or 5 pounds of bismuth for the surface crystallization method demonstrated in the video. The deeper the pool of bismuth is in the pan the better, because the crystals will have extra room to grow before they touch the bottom. The more you use the more impressive your results will be.

Some of you that are familiar with other forms of crystal formation may be thinking I gave bad advice when I state in the video that you can move the crystals as they grow. Usual crystal growth requires a very still solution with no movement, and a very slow cool down period. I did quite a lot of experimenting with this method and found that bismuth does not behave quite the same way. Once the crystals have begun forming it does not seem to matter if they are moved so long as they remain submerged. Further structured growth happens regardless of disturbance once there is a point to nucleate from.

You may also notice that I was not wearing gloves for a portion of the video, that was foolish of me. I was wearing eye protection the entire time. Leather gloves (not synthetic!) and lab goggles should always be worn in case of splashes or spills.

If you would like to skip the process of making your own crystals, you can buy them already made here (another affiliate link): http://ebay.to/1BIvj2C

That was 4 years ago. I've always wanted to build a fretted version from the ground up, and for this video I finally got around to it. I hope you enjoy! The goal I set for the design was to use only tools and materials that can be purchased at a local hardware store, other than a cigar box and guitar strings.

Below are the parts and tools used for this project. I occasionally overlook an item in a video this long so let me know if you notice anything missing from the lists. If you try this project be sure to let me know! I would love to see a video of your own cigar box guitars.

Tools:
-----------------------------------------------------
Tape Measure
Pen/Pencil
Hand Saw
Hammer(Mallet)/Chisel
Drill w/Bits
Sand Paper/Sanding Block
Fine Grain File
Gel Super Glue
Tape
Razor
Paste Wax (optional)

Materials:
-----------------------------------------------------
1” x 3” Maple Plank (must not be warped)
Wood Cigar Box
1 1/2” Inside Corner Brace (x3)
4” Eye Bolts/Nuts (x3)
Door Hinge Pin
Fencing Staples
1 1/2” Finish Nails (x12)
#18 x 5/8” Pins (x3)
Acoustic Guitar Strings

Total build time should be around 8 hours, so the project can fit comfortably into a weekend. The cost of the materials not including any of the tools is about $35. Not bad for a guitar! I suspect I am going to receive quite a few comments saying I should have used wing nuts on the tuners so a wrench wouldn't be required, and that was initially my plan. The bolts are a little too close together on my model for wing nuts to spin without hitting each other, but feel free to try it yourself.

If you would like to build a guitar with a different scale length than 24" you can use this website to calculate fret measurements: ​http://www.harpkit.com/category/fretcalc.html

The first song I play in this video is 'Prelude to Cello Suite No.1' by Bach. The later songs are improvised blues. I was in drop D tuning.

It's super inexpensive and can be put together in just a few minutes since it's only made from two parts! A pen tube could be substituted as the barrel to make the project even less expensive, though a little less accurate. As with all airsoft guns, eye protection is required for safety!

The parts used in the video were a 24oz soda bottle and a 5/16” x 8” brake line (for the compact version), or a 5/16” x 28” brake line for the longer model. Brake lines are available at any auto parts store and usually cost between $4 - $7 depending on the length. So long as the diameter is 5/16" to properly fit pellets, any length can be used.

You can check out my sponsor http://www.ThruNite.com for the brand new Archer A2 v2 and A1 v2 flashlights seen in this video (maybe for some Christmas gifts?). They're waterproof and run on AA batteries, with too many cool features to list. A glow in the dark ring around the lens is something I've never seen before that looks really nice and helps to easily locate the lights if they've been set down in the dark. Like all of ThruNite's flashlights they're also exceedingly bright. Links to purchase these lights through Amazon will be posted lower in the description.

There are endless possibilities for how this airsoft project could be customized if desired. I went with a pretty simple design with the PVC housing seen in the video. It's function was to simply improve aesthetics as well as add a more stable grip to the barrel. I know some of you will want to have the exact parts I used for the housing so I've listed them below. You can figure out the details of how it's assembled easily enough by pausing the video. The only modification needed for any of the parts is to drill a hole for the barrel through the end cap.

Housing Parts:

1” Conduit Box T
3/4” PVC Pipe
1” x 3/4” Adapter (x2)
3/4” End Cap
3/4” 45 Degree Elbow (x2)
3/4” 90 Degree Elbow

It can be really tricky to get just the right amount of fuel into a small volume of air to create a flammable mixture, but the torch seems to work excellently. Check out my sponsor Audible through the following link to claim a free audio book: http://www.audible.com/nhil

Here is the original article that inspired this project: http://www.instructables.com/id/Propane-Pop-Gun/

The way this project works is that once the torch has fed a mixture of propane and fresh air into the vinyl tube, being ignited on one end causes the advancing flame front to push the not yet ignited fuel forward until it reaches the larger volume inside the soda bottle. Having a larger surface area inside the bottle allows the flame front to propagate much more rapidly, creating a loud pop.

An interesting effect I noticed was that the bottle occasionally created an invisible vortex ring which would slam into objects on the far side of the room. In a future video I may experiment more to create a way for those vortex rings to be made more consistently.

The torch used in this video is a Bernzomatic TS8000, you can purchase the same torch here (this is an affiliate link): http://ebay.to/1F2HEiM
The vinyl tubing is 5/8" ID by 7/8" OD. I used a 24oz soda bottle with a standard cap size. #NightHawkInLight

The Storm Glass was first invented in the mid 1700's, and soon made it's way into ships and harbors around Europe to help give warning of approaching bad weather. It gained the most fame through Admiral FitzRoy who used a Storm Glass on the voyage in which he and Darwin traveled to the Galápagos Islands. As such, the instrument is sometimes called a 'FitzRoy Storm Glass'.

Due to the use of vodka rather than pure ethanol and water, the proportions I use to make the Storm Glass in my video breaks somewhat from the traditional ratios, but the recipe is balanced to achieve the same effect as the original. Fortunately, the chemical solution does not require extreme precision to work properly.

Composition:
Vodka, 100 Proof (50% Ethanol) - 300 mL
Camphor - 28g (1oz)
Potassium Nitrate - 10g
Ammonium Chloride - 10g

Some of these chemicals may be difficult to obtain in certain parts of the world, but if Camphor can be found it's possible that Potassium Nitrate or Ammonium Chloride could be substituted for other soluble salts, such as Sodium Chloride (I have not tested this).

To read a Storm Glass for weather prediction, here is a description from the book Pharmaceutical Formulas by Peter MacEwan, published in 1908:

------------------------------------------------

"The changes of the solution signify the following:

Clear liquid : Bright weather.
Crystals at bottom : Thick air, frost in winter.
Dim liquid with small stars : Thunderstorms.
Large flakes : Heavy air, overcast sky, snow in winter.
Threads in upper portion of liquid : Windy weather.
Small dots : Damp weather, fog.
Rising flakes which remain high : Wind in the upper air regions.
Small stars : In winter on bright, sunny days, snow in one or two days.
The higher the crystals rise in the glass tube in winter the colder it will be."

------------------------------------------------

The crystals within a Storm Glass will dissolve and solidify all on ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/615f7993-30d0-4e04-9b3d-3e5aef3ffc94/76faeaf7-1570-4a60-a841-324eb159f136-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/d2oPVGF1z7kPqoiPKsjSZj</video:player_loc><video:duration>233</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-15T07:52:46.290Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>yt:3cWpo5BoahA</video:tag><video:tag>DIY</video:tag><video:tag>Preparedness</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ce8aVy35wLbKm3rPVSjZSu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9bd7f605-a7c0-4097-881f-e2a4760a0021.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>How To Make A Microphone Isolation Box For High Quality Audio Recording</video:title><video:description>This project is one I desperately needed for myself. You should notice a big improvement in my recording quality from now on! Check out Cottage Life's new store here: http://shop.cottagelife.com/

I moved into a new house about a month ago now which is why you might notice some new scenery in the background of my recent videos. As it is now I don't have much furniture, and as a result there are a lot of harsh echos that I found my microphone easily picks up. I made this box to counteract my problem in the meantime. It works exceptionally well! This project was inspired by a tutorial posted on Instructibles, which you can see here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Sound-Cancelling-Portable-Studio-Box/

My sponsor for the video, Cottage Life, has an awesome channel where you can find more How To videos, and I know many of you have already subscribed. They've been posting a new video about every week which you can check out here: https://www.youtube.com/user/CottageLifeMagazine/videos

Thank you for all your comments on my last video! It really makes my day to read through them. I'm still getting settled into the routines of making videos in this new house, but I've got some projects coming up that I'm really excited to get posted. Stay tuned! #NightHawkInLight

It works great!
Check out ThruNite flashlights at http://thrunite.com/. Seriously, they make the best flashlights I've ever used. Amazon purchase links are available below.

Cyclopentasiloxane is the component of the antiperspirant that functions as the hydrophobic element to this project. While not quite as hydrophobic the commercial coatings like Never Wet and Ultra Ever Dry, it is significantly less expensive and functions well enough for nearly all the same purposes.

The idea for this project was used courtesy of Dan Rojas at GreenPowerScience. Check out his video on the subject here: http://youtu.be/ujEWwUMC5Y4

I used fairly simple parts for this project. The most expensive item is a stereo amplifier, but they are a common find in resale shops for under $10. I found mine for $6. I used an online tone generator to produce the frequencies which can be found here: http://plasticity.szynalski.com/tone-generator.htm

In this video I ran the speaker at 285 Hz and varied the volume to produce the different effects. There is nothing particularly special about 285 Hz, the drops will stay suspended at other frequencies as well. Any dish soap will also work just as well as another to lower surface tension which increases the stability of the drops.

The 4 inch speaker and 90mm petri dish were both purchased online. Often 90mm petri dishes are labeled and sold as 100mm, which are more common to find. The ones I purchased were also being sold as 100mm, but the actual size could be determined by the reviews. Blunt tip syringes were also purchased online to create the drops.

Be aware that this experiment does involve both water and electricity, so there are potential hazards involved. It should not be attempted unless you are familiar with properly dealing with such hazards.

I first learned of this experiment from slow motion footage recorded by Roberto Zenit, National Autonomous University of Mexico. You can check out his footage here: http://youtu.be/KZ5ZLPWasrM

The design I build in this video was primarily pieced together from spare parts lying around in my garage from past projects. Some PVC from an old potato cannon, a metal strip used to support my aluminum crucible in an earlier video, foam pool noodles from my Nerf style artillery project...A lot of parts were used out of pure convenience. The purpose of this video was less to provide an exact guide for this specific modification of my bottle rocket project, and more to demonstrate how many options for customization such a design can have. The only limit is your imagination.

For those curious, here is a list of all the parts I used:

3" x 36" PVC Pipe

Details from my previous video about how these rockets work and tips for fueling (watch the video to learn the entire fueling process: http://youtu.be/wuz0curb_hg

The rockets are fueled by the combustion of rubbing alcohol, which is ignited by the spark from a barbecue igniter. I used rubbing alcohol with a concentration of about 90% in the video, but any concentration of 70% or greater should work just as well. When fueling the bottles, the most important step as shown in the video is to whip the last drops of liquid alcohol out of the open end. This brings the fuel/air mixture to the proper level for a good combustion, and reduces the liquid alcohol particles expelled from the rocket upon l...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/937d0a8e-1721-49ac-9a68-dabcf5c21068/ee3dd184-2056-4f05-857e-c6bb859b216f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jdjRBT5iyLj16NRoZhDH23</video:player_loc><video:duration>305</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-15T08:02:14.029Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>DIY</video:tag><video:tag>yt:jfIztG88tp4</video:tag><video:tag>Preparedness</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hJqXAjHpb95WKu9YqiuwGH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4005a83c-adea-48b8-b63c-daf13e68d6e5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DIY Spotlight From A Flashlight</video:title><video:description>This project is quick and easy to put together, yet really impressive. Even more so in person than in the video. The flashlight I used for this video is a ThruNite TN12. It's awesome. Links to check it out are further down in the description, so click 'Show more'!

Thanks to ThruNite for sponsoring this video! I bought the TN12 for myself because it truly is an awesome light that I'm very happy to recommend. It's a high quality flashlight with a great price, thanks to factory direct sales. You can check it out in ThruNite's official store here: http://www.thrunite.com/ Or in the ThruNite Amazon store (Links to ThruNite Amazon stores outside the US are posted further down): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IEWOCP0/

With this flashlight conversion I was lighting up trees as bright as day at 300 yards and further. By adjusting the flashlight's position on the block the light can be made to focus to either a narrow beam for maximum range, or a softer spot to provide more even lighting.

The makeshift bat signal shown later in the video was created as an afterthought to the main project and it really turned out great. That could be a fun one to use around town.

Parts:
(1) Flashlight (I used the ThruNite TN12)
(2) 2x2 Inch Planks (Approximately 30 inches in length for the base, but the focal distance can vary depending on the lens. The second block should be as long as the flashlight used.)
(3) Large Magnifying Glass (Mine was 5 inches in diameter)
(4) Velcro Straps (Or large rubber bands)

Optional:
(5) Black Spray Paint
(6) Tripod
(7) Nail
(8) Craft Foam/Cardboard (For cutting shapes to project in the beam)

Some of you that have followed me for a while might recognize this project as an upgraded version of my water bottle rocket launcher, seen in this video: http://youtu.be/YRtFY_O0HcU

While the old design was the cause of quite a few singed arm hairs, this new model is much more pleasant to use due to the new blast shield as well as the distance from the rockets that has been achieved by having the igniter on a longer leash. Even so, safety glasses are a required precaution, just in case.

I recently participated in leading some science based activities for grade school aged kids and these bottle launchers were a big hit. The kids had a lot of fun attaching craft foam fins onto the bottles with duct tape and hot glue. The launchers themselves only take about 20 minutes to put together, so it's a quick and easy project that offers a ton of entertainment.

The rockets are fueled by the combustion of rubbing alcohol, which is ignited by the spark from a barbecue igniter. I used rubbing alcohol with a concentration of about 90% in the video, but any concentration of 70% or greater should work just as well. When fueling the bottles, the most important step as shown in the video is to whip the last drops of liquid alcohol out the open end. This brings the fuel/air mixture to the proper level for a good combustion, and reduces the liquid alcohol particles expelled from the rocket upon launch that otherwise could melt the plastic blast shield or cause minor burns.

A neat trick I did not mention in the video is that once the bottles have been fueled, rather than pushing them onto the launcher the cap can be put back on the bottle to have it ready to fire later.

I took up running these past few years as an extra hobby to allow me some thinking time away from the computer and all my camera gear. I looked into purchasing some of these minimalist shoes both for running as well as for a water shoe for fishing but found that my local stores didn't carry any in stock, and buying shoes online can be risky for fitting purposes. Why not make some myself then?

I didn't believe that spray rubber would work very well at first and assumed that I would have to use the liquid paint-on variety that comes in a tin to achieve a good coating on the fabric, but after testing the spray rubber for myself I didn't even bother with any other method. It works excellent. The rubber is more durable than expected, and after about a quarter mile on very sharp gravel I noticed no wear at all.

One issue that I do have with the shoes is that some of the rubber solvent absorbed into the fabric outside the spray area, carrying trace amounts of rubber with it. This was due to my impatience in adding too much rubber in the first coat which wet the fabric too much and caused unsightly stains that you can see on top of the toes in the video, and also caused a little bit of extra stiffness in those areas. This should be an avoidable issue by simply going a little more slowly until there is a good rubber surface established over the absorbent fabric. There shouldn't be much to worry about after the first coat or two is added.

One other very minor improvement I would make in my next pair of shoes is to make the heel more narrow while spraying on the rubber. While I shaped the socks fairly accurately to the natural shape of my feet, I would have preferred the heel to be a little narrower so that it was a snugg...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b52d96fa-6f5a-486a-8c76-d8d4b9e6efbd/211754e9-d5f2-43d9-a002-135aed5c76ae-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/onByZxawFVCNJ6JGPmSh1e</video:player_loc><video:duration>218</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-15T08:04:38.631Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>DIY</video:tag><video:tag>yt:WRCXy_UHPVc</video:tag><video:tag>Preparedness</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/81tLC85S6B57SALiQcdtMX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e42ac0f1-7ec0-442e-b034-5f0da44b7f2d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>How To Make A Nerf Style Artillery Launcher</video:title><video:description>Check out my sponsor Audible!

This is a fun project that involves quite a few great techniques for working with PVC that can be of use in making many other PVC creations. The end result to this project is kid friendly and should last for many years.

The piston created in this project is a particularly useful design for many other projects. It's air tight in 2" PVC pipe and requires no special tools or modifications of off the shelve parts. It's pretty rare to see a design that works so well with so little customization.

The dart gun in this video uses two different firing methods that are commonly used in larger potato cannons, a pneumatic firing option, as well as a simple combustion option. A coaxial piston valve is my personal favorite mechanism for these sort of projects, and this video shows how it works quite well through the clear chamber. For the combustion design the fuel of choice is isopropyl alcohol, preferably 70% or greater.

While it has been tainted in many people's minds as something only done by criminals, it is in fact a skill that could very well save your life if kidnapped, as well as saving hundreds of dollars in locksmithing costs to open things for which the key has been lost. Criminals and thieves are far more likely to break a window and in other ways use force to open things rather than trouble with the delicate, and many times lengthy method of picking.

Practice locks can be purchased here (this is an affiliate link): http://ebay.to/1KVqCuU

Practice locks such as the one used in this video can be found for sale online with little searching, but all that is really necessary to practice is a simple padlock. Practicing lock picking should only be done on a lock that is not essential to some purpose, as it is possible to damage a lock if done incorrectly. It of course should also not be done on a lock that does not belong to you, as doing so is likely illegal.

Hybrid engines on the other hand can be turned on and off, and the thrust adjusted by varying how much oxidizer is fed into the ignition chamber to burn with the fuel. The simple hybrid engine made with this experiment lacks any valves that would be found in a full scale model to control the flow of oxygen, as it is the simplest form a hybrid engine could possibly take. You might call it a base model. If one were so inclined, all sorts of modifications could be made to this experiment to allow throttle control and even a nozzle.

For this project I used off the shelve 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, common bread yeast, and ziti macaroni noodles. This experiment should not be conducted without adult supervision. #NightHawkInLight

Many have made fire tornado's using nothing more than a bowl of liquid alcohol for the flame, but I found that to be dangerous as the burning liquid could spill and cause a serious fire. The addition of cotton balls removes the risk of splashing. Care should always be taken around fire to be sure nothing flammable is nearby and that there is proper ventilation. A fire extinguisher should always be within reach whenever performing an experiment like this! Stay safe!

Check out the new Turkish Airlines video Here: http://bit.ly/ImPa2s

This video demonstrates a simple design I came up with for safely simulating an explosion, such as what might be used in special effects. The most valuable piece of information this video demonstrates is probably how to modify a sprinkler valve, which is useful for all sorts of air powered projects. One problem that might arise in the valve modification is that the hose fitting threaded into the top might leak around the threads, in which case some epoxy can be applied around the fitting on the inside of the valve housing which should seal it pretty securely.

Sticky notes are the perfect size to roll tubes that are just the right thickness to burn well, and the adhesive that is on one side can be used to hold the tube together. I found that the tubes work best when they have a core that is about 5mm in diameter, which is a bit smaller than a pencil. If a pencil or pen is all that can be found to roll the tubes they will still work, though not as well.

Careful not to try this around flammable things as there is obviously fire involved. #NightHawkInLight

The mixture of dry ice and alcohol that I use in this video forms a liquid at a temperature well below -100 degrees Fahrenheit, easily capable of freezing anything containing moisture. There is a possibility of frostbite if the liquid is in contact with skin for any more than a second or two, so great care must be taken. Tongs can be used to safely lower the balloons into the mixture. To cool the alcohol, dry ice should be added to the bottom of the water cooler first, then the alcohol slowly poured in over it. Dry ice should never be dropped into a pool of alcohol unless the alcohol is already very cold or else the dry ice will evaporate quickly and the rapid boiling will cause the container to overflow. Isopropyl alcohol is flammable so care should be taken to avoid flame and have adequate ventilation. It is also not an edible type of alcohol, so care should be taken not to get any into the drink.

I still read all of my comments so leave me some feedback! Thanks for the support, there will be plenty more videos to come!

So far as I could find this is the original video responsible for the idea of alcohol cooled by dry ice. Very useful idea for a huge number of projects! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d11TFkeqbwY #NightHawkInLight

As requested, this video is a re-make of my older project which utilized an AC powered ion generator. That older video can be seen here: http://youtu.be/EvspL4kMY54

Ebay seems to have the least expensive generators,  you can find some here (this is an affiliate link): http://ebay.to/1FKLOCG

If you purchase one with two white output wires they can usually be soldered together and treated as one. You will then also have to solder a ground wire onto the black wire leading to the battery.

I had more fun making this video than any I can remember in the recent past. Making giant bubbles may turn into an ongoing hobby. Some of my younger cousins have certainly enjoyed it as well! The bubbles seen in this video all used the three part bubble mix that I show being made.

24 oz Dishwashing Liquid
1 tbsp J-Lube (The most important part for giant bubbles)
3 US gal Water

After filming all the shots used in this video I started experimenting with baking powder and found that 3 tbsp added to the above mix improves the longevity and durability of the bubbles significantly. The ones in the video may have been large, but I have since been able to make them much larger! As I mention at the end of the video, the size increases greatly as you learn.

Here is a source for J-Lube as promised (one bottle makes hundreds of gallons of bubble mix): http://www.amazon.com/One-10-oz-bottle-Mix---Water/dp/B00BISI6HC/

For those outside of the USA it may be difficult to find J-Lube. An alternative giant bubble mix uses Guar Gum instead, and quite effectively. Guar Gum is common worldwide. More info about bubble mixes using Guar Gum and where it is usually available for purchase can be found here: http://soapbubble.wikia.com/wiki/Recipes_Guar_EAS

For my bubble wand I use two fishing poles similar to this model: http://www.amazon.com/Shakespeare-Four-Piece-Wonder-Pole-13-Feet/dp/B003D5XJFW/

The fishing poles come in four sections, but I removed the last section because it was too flimsy to support the heavy wet rope. The tri string loop is attached to the end of the third section of each pole. As shown in the video, I use carabiners as an easy way of taking loops on and off, though a loop could just as easily be taped directly to the pole.

The rope I use for my tri string loop is 100% cotton clothes line with the core removed as demonstrated. Removing the core allows the rope to absorb ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b4fce27a-3e82-4a1e-8478-9feff23acb1a/a38972dc-6cc6-4eb8-a5f2-4f238438c4d0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/omfx9xpS4hXZj1cwLeHMQN</video:player_loc><video:duration>343</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-15T08:18:58.957Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>DIY</video:tag><video:tag>yt:VXsPqUFsArM</video:tag><video:tag>Preparedness</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/k4Wh6A2UVnc2ogD5uog68Z</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ea189f7c-3071-43fe-ba63-bd8318c79730.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>How to Make Fluorescein from Highlighter Markers</video:title><video:description>This video demonstrates how to extract the chemical fluorescein from highlighter markers using no other chemical besides common rubbing alcohol.

This is the same pump I use to operate my vacuum cannon seen here: http://youtu.be/CVL99yIB3NQ

A clear vacuum chamber such as the one seen in the video can be obtained by purchasing a bell jar and vacuum plate, easily available online. I highly advise that only vessels made for handling vacuum pressure such as bell jars be used with this or any vacuum pump. If a vessel were to fail while under vacuum the implosion can be powerful enough to cause injury.

A vacuum cannon is an interesting physics demonstration that shows how much atmospheric pressure there is at the earths surface, though we do not feel it because our bodies have the same amount of pressure both inside and out. By removing air pressure from inside of a length of pipe the balance with atmospheric pressure is removed, and if the seal is broken on one end air pressure will rush in quickly enough to throw a projectile with a good deal of force.

I first learned of vacuum cannons thanks to this article on Instructables: http://www.instructables.com/id/Vacuum-Cannon-drives-ping-pong-ball-at-supersonic-/ #NightHawkInLight

This video shows how to make a simple and inexpensive tabletop forge out of a soup can with a plaster lining. The forge runs off of a common propane torch (spiral flame will work better than pencil flame) that can be bought at any hardware store. The question has been asked about what sand can be used. Any sand.

The exact torch used in this video is a Bernzomatic TS8000, you can purchase the same torch here (this is an affiliate link): http://ebay.to/1F2HEiM

The idea for this video was inspired by this website, so take a look: http://www.zoellerforge.com/coffee.html

See it here: https://youtu.be/XKCkR6L85vg

Read this description if you're having trouble! A few tips to make sure that this works right: Pulling the sleeve hard after it has been wound up is the most important part. It should unwind so fast it sounds like a humming bird. Rather than using a sleeve, some people have had success with the leg from a pair of tights. That may even be easier. You can hold the eggs up to a flashlight before boiling to check if they have been properly scrambled. A scrambled egg will let no light through or at most a very small amount of red light, a normal egg will be much brighter and have a yellow tint. Be sure that the strings or rubber bands are tightly on the sleeve or the egg will be out of balance and be impossible to spin fast enough for it to work properly. Also, the eggs are weakened by doing this and sometimes tend to pop if cooked in water at a full boil. To cook properly, place in water on the stove and heat until it's hot enough that bubbles start forming on the shells, but not at a full boil, then turn off the burner and let the eggs sit in the pot for 15 minutes. When the time's up dump the eggs in cold water to cool them quickly so they don't overcook.

I was inspired by this post on Instructibles: http://www.instructables.com/id/Scrambled-Eggs-still-in-the-Shell-/ #NightHawkInLight

To understand how these valves work examine the third animation in the following link:
http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/piston-valves-explained-visually-t8157.html
I also go into more detail of how these cannons function in a video I made many years ago, showing how to build a smaller version using these same principles:
http://youtu.be/9oARDyn4WwE

Warning: It is specifically against manufacturer recommendations to use PVC to contain pressurized air. This video is solely for education and entertainment purposes.

The parts used in this cannon are as follows:
(1) 3' length of 3" diameter pressure rated PVC pipe
(1) 3'2" length of 2" diameter pressure rated PVC pipe
(1) 1/2" PVC ball valve (the cannon may benefit from a larger valve, so consider 3/4" or 1" valves and adjust the fittings on the back of the cannon to match)
(1) 1/2" x 2" long threaded PVC pipe nipple
(1) 1 1/2" to 1/2" threaded PVC reducer
(1) 3" to 1 1/2" PVC reducer
(1) 3" PVC coupling
(1) 3" female threaded adapter
(1) 3" male threaded adapter
(1) 3" to 2" PVC flush bushing
(4) 1" long self tapping screws
(1) brass air compressor tank valve
(2) 3" galvanized steel gas vent tee caps (I have not tried it myself, but a hockey puck may also work as a replacement piston according to others)
(1) 3" rubber washer or sheet rubber
(1) 3" tank to bowl rubber gasket

Other supplies and tools needed:
PVC Primer &amp; Cement
Epoxy
Super Glue
TFE Pipe Thread Paste
Coarse and fine Sandpaper
Bench Grinder or Metal Files
Drill &amp; Bits
Bicycle Pump or Air Compressor

In this video I show how to make a device that allows the user to gain the power of electricity. This high voltage generator can electrify a persons entire body with a static charge more powerful than rubbing even the softest footie pajamas on a carpet could ever muster. The electrical buildup can then be discharged with a touch to shock anything in reach.

Parts that may need to be ordered online:
Negative Ion Generator (Ionizer)  UPDATE: It seems the original source of ion generators has been depleted. I have since found a source for DC powered generators, meaning that they do not require the power converter to run off of a battery. Those can be found here (this is an affiliate link): http://ebay.to/1FKLOCG

Video showing how to use a DC generator for this project: http://youtu.be/GGx83KppSCQ

Automotive Power Converter (Cheapest here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004I1LF7O/ Or find one at an auto parts store)

Parts that can be purchased in a hardware or electronics store (Such as Radio Shack):
Flux Core Solder
2" of Copper Wire
Heat Shrink Insulating Tubing (Optional)
9 Volt Battery (DO NOT USE A LARGER POWER SOURCE! Doing so may be DANGEROUS!)
9 Volt Battery Harness
On/Off Switch (Any type will work, even a light switch if that is all that is available)
Sticky Back Velcro
Dual Sided Velcro (Usually found in the form of cable ties)
Glasses Case
1 Gallon Bottle (Such as a windshield washer fluid bottle)
Hot Glue
Aluminum Soda Can
Duct or Electrical Tape

Tools:
Soldering Iron
Screwdriver
Scissors
Wire Strippers
Hot Glue Gun
Sand Paper
Drill &amp; Bits
File (Optional)

This is a demonstration of a purely chemical process to produce large quantities of hydrogen gas from common, inexpensive chemicals. Hydrogen is a highly esteemed alternative fuel candidate because its combustion with atmospheric oxygen results in only clean water vapor, rather than carbon compounds as is the case with most other fuels. It is less dense than air, which means that it can be used to lift objects into the sky.

Hairspray or a flammable spray deodorant are the fuels of choice. The total cost of this project assuming the tools needed are already available is about $25. For that price you can make 4 rockets for the launcher, as the foam sleeping pad that they are made of is large enough to make multiples.

Parts &amp; Tools:
1. 18" x 3" Pressure Rated PVC Pipe
2. 3" Pressure Rated PVC End Cap
3. Piezoelectric BBQ Igniter or Flint &amp; Steel Lantern Striker (Available at hardware or sporting goods stores)
4. 2 Self Tapping Screws if using a BBQ Ignitor
5. Foam Sleeping Pad
6. 2 Liter Soda Bottle
7. Duct or Packaging Tape
8. Hot Glue
9. Drill &amp; Bits
10. PVC Primer &amp; Cement #NightHawkInLight

For example, a tarp could be held down by a series of these knots and be made very tight so the wind cannot make it rise, and easily be removed simply by sliding the knots later. A taut line knot is also used to keep large tents from sagging by keeping tension on the lines leading to the stakes. A slight variation of this knot is used to climb straight up a rope when doing tree trimming. I currently use two of these knots to hold down a blanket as a seat cover on my truck.

As with any good knot, a taut line can easily be untied when desired. It is certainly one of the more useful knots to have in your skill set. #NightHawkInLight

Rapid oxidation of iron contained in the fine strands of steel is an exothermic reaction hot enough to provide the sparks. The process results in black iron oxide (Fe3O4) and red iron oxide (Fe2O3), which is more commonly known as rust. The carbon content found in steel adds to the brilliance of the sparks.

000 or 0000 grade steel wool works best. Any courser and it will not burn properly. If it is fluffed up before igniting it will not burn as long, but it will throw off much thicker sparks. The first two shots in the video show firewires with steel wool that has been fluffed up in this way.

Because these use no self contained oxidizing agents like most fireworks, these are probably legal in most areas - But this does not mean it is smart to use them anywhere. They throw off many hot sparks and should therefore not be used in dry environments. Glasses of some kind are also necessary to avoid any sparks getting in the eyes. A wide brimmed hat or a hood is not a bad idea either to avoid getting spots burned in your hair.</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dae76f8d-c7d3-4e8a-975a-7322bf30b188/6e1b435b-70d8-4c9e-9013-d2f2d3b74fa2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/t2NYrjJeVBAahMSgASv7iN</video:player_loc><video:duration>111</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-15T08:44:52.807Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>yt:wdbCzYN95cg</video:tag><video:tag>DIY</video:tag><video:tag>Preparedness</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos">Interesting</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mNo7z5Ft3XxedtuZ47yMzh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4c2bc4e3-3623-47d0-b789-accfe910bb2a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>How to Make a Rocket Launcher Replica w/Flash Cotton Muzzle Blast [HD Video Tutorial]</video:title><video:description>This rocket launcher uses flash cotton (gun cotton, nitrocellulose) to simulate the muzzle blast of a real rocket. It is an excellent prop for home movies, or just a great addition to a Halloween costume. Needless to say, it should not be fired indoors or at other living creatures. Flash cotton does not usually cause burns to the skin, but that does not mean it never will. It does produce a real flame so it also should not be used in dry or flammable environments.

Flash cotton can be purchased many places online, or at local magic shops for quite reasonable prices.

The total price of this project was about $35.

This is what I came up with as a result. The crossbow is actually quite durable in design and should stand up to use for for a very long time so long as it doesn't get wet. Hopefully a good deal of office boredom can be solved with this.

The working mechanism for this crossbow is in the arms made of rolled paper and supported by tape. Typically a bent tube of rolled paper would tear when bent, but a layer of tape seems to distribute the load evenly enough to not only prevent the paper from tearing, but also give it a strong and fast spring action when released. This allows for a rigid bow string to be used which utilizes the energy in the arms to propel the projectile - Rather than most toy crossbows which use rigid arms and an elastic band which propels the bolt more like a slingshot than a crossbow.

This crossbow can throw a pencil or pen a good 100 feet. A possible modification for even more power might be to make two arms on each side that the bow string would tie together at the tips. Having double arms is about the only way to go about adding more power because adding much more paper to the first set will only result in them tearing or being completely rigid. Similar to how you can only fold a piece of paper so many times.

Have fun! Don't take an arrow to the knee.

A better demonstration of the flash cotton I have made with this method can be seen in my video 'Fireballs Vs. My Hands'.

I chose to use fabric because it is more readily available and less expensive than cotton paper.

Check it out here: https://youtu.be/FDKCvCQzkTk

Total build (not including glue dry time) took about 3 hours for this guitar. I did my best to use the most inexpensive parts possible. The only tools I use to carve the neck are a knife, hand saw, and a sharp hatchet. Green wood is the easiest to carve, but you risk it splitting as it dries. I used a green piece of maple cut off the tree only hours before and had no problems.

The cigar box should be as strong as possible, made of solid wood, not cardboard or particle board. Java by Drew Estate uses an excellent box for this, and makes for a very nice looking instrument. The one I came across I have already used to make a stomp box, but if I find another it will become a guitar.

Parts list:
Tuning Heads - $18
Cigar Box - $2
1/4" Jack - $2
Bolts (bridge/nut) - $1
Neck - Free
Microphone (speaker harvested from any outdated electronics) - Free
Finishing Nails - Pennies...Free enough

Certainly there are ways to make a nicer instrument. The point of this video is to show how quickly and cheaply a guitar can be made, not how to make a masterpiece. Depending on the feedback I get from this video I may make another showing how to build a nicer fretted guitar.

I have caught many rabbits (technically hares) and even a possum or two using this simple mechanism. I have had good luck even without any sort of spring to tighten the wire, but as I say in the video, I prefer the additional security.

Be sure to check local hunting and trapping regulations before setting any trap or snare.

I am back at home now, and will be working on videos of some new PyroDirect products shortly. I also have a few more outdoor videos I'm excited for.

Recent News: A set of DVDs is now available from the YouTube user displayfireworks1 that goes through the process of obtaining a Type 54 ATF license (The license required to purchase 1.3 commercial fireworks). Not only does the license allow you to buy commercial fireworks, but it is also the same license required to allow you to transport fireworks you have built yourself. I highly recommend you take a look. More information on these DVDs along with how to order them can be found here:

I've got big plans for this year. Be sure to stay tuned.

Remember that a battery near an ematch is just as dangerous as an open flame near a fuse. When wiring a display be sure that all power sources are first disconnected from the firing board and all capacitors, if any, are discharged.

It can be used as the primary trigger for any number of traps, baited, tripwire, or even foot pressure activated.

It is an excellent survival trap design, though the tree spring noose trap uses less rope so may be a better choice in some situations. Only this trap may be used for fish or turtles however.

I've been delayed in filming this video for the past two weeks due to bad weather. My mill also broke down. I am now low on black powder, and without a way to make more until I get a new mill, this shell may be limited to these two breaks. Time will tell.

The composition used in this video:

Potassium Nitrate - 6
Granular Magnesium - 4
Charcoal - 1

It is possible that course aluminum could be substituted for the Mg. Many other compositions are also able to be bound with this method.

This is one way sodium metal can be synthesized using NaOH and Mg. Mg, being a more reactive chemical than sodium at high temperature with oxygen, breaks down the NaOH, leaving ingots of elemental sodium within the ash.

2Mg + 2NaOH = 2MgO + 2Na + H2

Thanks to NurdRage for the equation.

A similar concept as the tree spring noose trap in my previous video, but a new trigger. This trap can also be rigged with a net instead a noose. There is an excellent modification to this trap to snare rabbits.

Remember, NEVER USE A TRAP ON A PERSON! They could be severely injured or killed.

This video shows how to build a trap using only what is found in the forest and a bit of string. Perhaps in a later video I will show how to make string/rope out of forest materials.

For now, enjoy. More videos are coming.

Because of how the wood is piled in the barrel, the wood burning on top cooks the wood in the bottom layers to charcoal. This is perfect for turning pine into BP charcoal because the high temperature cooking removes all the creosote. The charcoal is then washed to keep it from turning to ash, and removing any ash that may have fallen off the top logs. Drying time is about 5 days outdoors in my 60% humidity.

This material could supposedly resist temperatures up to 10,000 degrees Celsius, having undergone testing by NASA and the Atomic Weapons Establishment in the UK. I believe in this video I have come close in function to the original formula for Starlite, but there is still some work to be done. My result works very well, but for a few reasons I may talk about in a future video I do not believe Starlite used PVA glue as it's binder, and I also suspect a different CO2 producer was used instead of baking soda. More experiments are required.

Before he passed away in 2011 the creator of Starlite, Maurice Ward, created a YouTube channel where a few of the test videos were uploaded for anyone to see: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIXwe1It6Df9jBPD3xwnbmA

There is also an official website for Starlite which can be found here: http://starlitetechnologies.org/

If there is enough interest in this video I may put together a follow up where I demonstrate alternate compositions for how to make Starlite, and discuss my thoughts on why Starlite was never successfully commercialized.

Since there is nothing mechanical to get in the way of the workings of this gun the rate of fire is extremely high, an estimated 50 rounds per second.

Warning: It is specifically against manufacturer recommendations to use PVC to contain pressurized air. This video is solely for education and entertainment purposes. Since the creation of this video I have ceased using PVC for air pressure use. This video remains for entertainment purposes only. For pressurized air containment, please only use cylinders and fittings made specifically for that purpose.

I have removed the parts list for this project as I now have an updated cloud airsoft design that utilizes safer and less expensive materials can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_8wRpgvhyg

Due to mass request I have restored the parts list below, however, if you build this project know that it is against my recommendation. I highly suggest my soda bottle BBMG instead.

This video shows how black powder rockets are rammed by hand using handmade tooling. Only non-sparking metals may be used for rocket tooling, such as the aluminum and brass I show here. Black powder is the only composition that may be rammed by hand. Fuels using other oxidizers must be pressed via hydraulic jack remotely, as ramming would be dangerous.

For those of you beginning to get serious about building fireworks it will be of great benefit to acquire a user license from the ATF. Doing so will allow you to purchase and transport commercial fireworks, which is what handmade fireworks will classify as. There is an excellent set of dvd's available published by another pyrotechnic here on YouTube to walk you through the process. I can personally recommend them. More info about those dvd's can be seen here:

Don't forget to subscribe if you want to see more.

Some info for my regular viewers:
I am working out a sponsorship from www.pyrodirect.com. The sponsorship will be for materials in exchange for publicity. I would not agree to those terms if I did not believe that they did not have something of value to offer my viewers and friends. They carry a large amount of building supplies for shells and rockets, as well as some great novelty items for prices that are very inexpensive. No minimum order is also a big bonus for those of you that only want a roll of fuse or a box of hemis and don't want to have to fill a $30 order.

They also have a selection of HDPE mortars and racks all the way up to 12" for very reasonable prices.

Check them out. The prices really are great. I'll post videos of their products when I can.

Just an update of what's going on. It should mean quite a few more videos in the future.

In this provocative talk, he explores the frontlines of a future where corporations may hold unprecedented power over the technology woven into our bodies. As the line between human and machine rapidly disappears, Meow-Ludo asks a question that will affect every one of us sooner than we think: who gets to control the future of being human? Meow-Ludo Meow-Meow is a transdisciplinary bio-artist and geneticist who challenges the boundaries between human bodies, technology, and law. With a BSc in Genetics and MBA, he founded Australia's first DIY biotechnology laboratory and has raised over $2M across multiple biotech ventures, securing five Australian patents in diagnostic technology. His work spans molecular biology, speculative design, and bodily autonomy advocacy—from developing point-of-care diagnostics during the pandemic to making international headlines by implanting an Opal card chip in his hand, triggering landmark legal cases on cyborg rights. His artistic practice explores life extension technologies, cellular systems, and examining how humanity's relationship with mortality drives technological innovation. Based in Sydney, he embodies the intersection of rigorous science, punk DIY ethics, and radical questions about what it means to be human in an age of unprecedented biological possibility.

This film from the consumer education department of Sears, "Come Camping in Alaska" (1963) follows legendary mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary and his family (including Lady Louise Hillary, and children Peter, Sarah, Lindy) on a camping and driving adventure through Alaska and the Canadian Yukon. The film was subtly intended to sell camping supplies sold at Sears, but it's mostly a wonderful look at Alaska, highlighting the natural beauty, diverse landscapes, and the simple joys of a family camping trip. The film was filmed by Francis Carter Wood, Jr., Campbell Norsgaard and Ron Hayes, and narrated by Stephen Vintner using his own script. 

    0:00   The film introduces Sir Edmund Hillary, the conqueror of Mount Everest, and his family, who have always dreamt of a camping vacation in Alaska. It notes that while Mount McKinley (Denali) isn't as tall as Everest, it holds a special fascination for him.
    1:58   The family begins their journey, driving and camping from Chicago to Vancouver. From Vancouver, they take a ferry to Juneau, Alaska, and then another ferry to Haines.
    2:21   The film notes that the road system, famous in Canada and Alaska, begins in Haines. The family drives along the Chilkat River, crossing the border into British Columbia at Camp Pleasant.
    3:13   The film showcases the excellent, though unpaved, roads of the Yukon and British Columbia.
    3:42   They make their first camp on the shores of Lake Desash, famous for its lake trout. The film shows Ed setting up their tent and the family fishing.
    4:40   The film celebrates the universal joy of fishing, showing the family catching grayling in Lake Desash and then cutting to a scene of them salmon fishing in Alaska's Montana Creek.

Created by Esso, "Molecular Magic" (1960s, possibly 1962) explores oil and oil derivatives presented through the lens of Esso Gas in the 1960’s. Esso is a brand of Exxonmobile primarily used by its predecessor, Standard Oil of NJ following the disintegration of Standard Oil in 1911. By 1972, Esso was replaced by Exxon. The 1960’s brought a wave of new science and research into oil and petrochemistry especially into the development of new plastics. The film aims to dispel mysteries surrounding oil and it’s derivatives in order to promote their continued use driving a message oil and it’s products have brought transformative change into industry and consumer life. Molecular processes used to produce materials including synthetic ropes, rubbers, house hold detergents and plastic roads are explored. It touches upon pollution while offering few solutions. It includes images from an aromatics plant in Botlek Rotterdam, a shipyard housing the Esso Tampa and explores the expansion of the distribution infrastructure. It was produced by Esso Research and Engineering Company (:11). The title screen follows (:23) leading into mysticisms over molecules. While the concept of molecules have long since been understood; the first molecule had not been seen by the human eye until 2009 through IBM’s innovative work (:37). Children play with examples of petrochemistry products including balloons (:43), inner tubes (:51) and hula hoops (:54). A woman grabs a Bond Bread loaf wrapped in plastic at the grocery store highlighting significant changes plastics have delivered to the food industry (1:04). Bond Bread was a prominent 1960’s bread brand produced by General Baking Co. Other areas affected include space exploration (1:29) and the medical field (1:36).

This stunning, silent home movie shows a group of Americans traveling back to France in 1928, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the armistice that ended WWI in 1918. The film captures personal views of the historic event including footage of French General Henri Gourfas. It begins with candid images of the group traveling aboard the liner RMS Mauretania for France changing over to Paris and the armistice celebrations. Veterans march down the Champs-Elysees for the Arc de Triomphe and a ceremony around the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The tomb is home to an unidentified French soldier killed during WWI. It was installed in 1920 simultaneously as a British unknown soldier was buried with honors in Westminster Abbey. These are symbolic of those lost during WWI. Veterans, including the American 55th infantry regiment, perform drills and marches. The armistice was signed in a railroad car in the Compiegne Forest ceasing fighting on all fronts between France and Germany. The group tours various French small towns including Saint-Mesmes for the Chateau Nantouillet, Artonges, La Fosse, Maurepas, Courthiezy, and Charly. The middle includes evening party equipped with French booze, horns and 1920’s style. It is a blend of history and friendship. Intimate shots capture personalities of group members including tender and comical moments throughout. 

The trip began in May 1928 (:29). Footage sweeps the interior of RMS Mauretania. A man in a newsboy hat is the focus, a woman lounges on wooden chairs (:37).

"The Seafarer" (1960s) is the pilot episode of a TV show made by Col. John D. Craig, who produced and hosted the TV shows "Danger is My Business", "I Search for Adventure" and "Kingdom of the Sea". This high adventure show was intended to focus on the world of the sea and the men who make their living on it and beneath it. Here, a deep sea treasure hunting operation is complicated by the presence of sharks. For whatever reason, no episodes of this show were ever produced beyond this pilot; perhaps it was just too expensive.

This film directed and produced by Rodney Jacob and presented by Freewheelin' Films (https://freewheelinfilms.net/), "The Indy 500 / Setting the Pace" is a retrospective look at the history and significance of the Indianapolis 500, beginning with the inaugural race in 1911. It also serves as a promo for the Oldsmobile Calais 500 Pace Car. The film highlights the rapid technological advancements of the early 20th century and the evolution of both race cars and passenger vehicles. From the hand-built Marmon Wasp with the first rearview mirror to today’s high-tech machines made of carbon fiber and titanium, the race has served as a showcase for automotive innovation. The tradition of the pace car is explored as a symbol of future automotive trends, with an emphasis on both performance and efficiency. Safety advancements in motorsports are acknowledged, along with the passion and risks that drive racers. The film also features actor and racer James Garner preparing to drive the Oldsmobile Calais 500 Pace Car, reinforcing the cultural crossover between racing and entertainment.

This color, silent home movie from the 1940s offers a glimpse into post-WWII Japan through the lens of a U.S. officer stationed there in 1945-46. Col. Arthur “Art" Paul Thayer Jr. was a member of the First Cavalry Division and the Sixth Army. After the defeat of Japan he was part of the U.S. Occupation forces, led by General Douglas A. MacArthur.  The film features footage of Colonel Thayer traveling around the Hiroshima area by boat, and presumably car and train with his wife, Lucille Anne Meyer, and their daughter, Lucille Collette "Tardy" Thayer. The film shows the Atomic Bomb Dome and offers numerous views of the surrounding countryside, nature, watersides, and farming villages. While some of the footage is heat damaged and so of poor quality, the majority remains viewable.

Shot between 1929 and 1932, this silent home movie footage shows scenes at Vassar College in Dutchess County, New York. Founded in 1861 by Matthew Vassar, Vassar was the second degree-granting institution of higher education for women in the USA; it didn't become co-educational until 1969. The film includes footage of the campus grounds and buildings, and shots of students on bicycles, swimming, picnicking, riding horses, dancing, and dressed up to perform a play (4:00). It also includes what might be a May Day celebration (5:00) and graduation ceremony (6:00).

This untitled, uncredited, silent color amateur-style home movie is a compilation of moments from the filmmaker’s life and likely dates to the early 1940s. The film features footage from all seasons of the year and offers little by way of contextual clues, except the can was marked "At Buckley". Nonetheless, the film provides insight into the lives of an American couple as they enjoy their quaint lives with family and friends and adventuring across the United States, from camping in cabins and skeet shooting to watching an Air Show and Duck Hunting. 

Film opens to small wood cabin in forested area, men exits cabin wearing hat and khakis, woman wearing apron follows suit, pair are joined by perhaps their adult son who sits and lights a cigarette (0:07).

This Russ Potter travelogue, titled “East Africa” (1974?), is the first of a two-part series. Part one showcases extensive footage of Kenya’s coastal cities Malindi, Mombasa, and Nairobi highlighting their landmarks, daily life, and historical elements. The film captures both vibrant urban scenes and a window into traditional life, including views of Maasai tribal villages and their customs. After the coastal and urban footage, the film transitions inland, where it documents the rich and diverse landscapes of the Kenyan countryside, from expansive safari plains teeming with wildlife to farming communities and village life, offering a fascinating look into tribal traditions and cultural practices passed down through generations. Filmed by Jan Boon, edited by George Halligan, and produced by Russ Potter, this version is presented without sound, though a narrated edition also exists featuring Potter’s voiceover, providing further context and storytelling for modern viewers.

Assembled by a staff member at Action Films in the late 1960s, this reel of incidents at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway includes the 1955 accident in which two-time defending champion Bill Vukovich was killed, and the fiery 1964 crash in which Eddie Sachs and Dave MacDonald tragically lost their lives.  The film shows a widely celebrated era at Indianapolis, when driver skill was even more critical to success. It was also a time when safety equipment and car design lagged behind the performance envelope of the vehicles, causing a series of deadly incidents, and precipitating many significant changes and improvements in the years that followed. 00:00 The 1955 crash involving Vukovich after another car spins and blocks the track.1:11 - Sam Hanks’ roadster loses its transmission while fighting for the lead.1:43 - Eddie Sachs slides through turn one, narrowly missing Tony Bettenhausen.2:11 - Len Sutton hits the wall in turn one but escapes injury.2:31 - A lead battle is interrupted by a crash involving Chuck Weyant, Mike Magill, Jud Larson, and Red Amick.3:05 - All four drivers survive, but their cars are out of the race.3:16 - 1959. Ray Crawford hits the wall and splits his fuel tank.3:28 - Rookie Don Davis spins on the main straightaway and stops in front of fast-moving traffic.3:45  1961. A. J. Shepherd loses control while trying to avoid Davis, triggering a five-car pileup.4:07 - Slow-motion footage shows Davis’ spin was caused by oil spraying onto his wheels.4:40 - 1961.

This silent film -- apparently a "rough cut" of an unidentified 1968 U.S. Air Force recruitment film, portrays months in the lives of the US Air Force pilots stationed in South Vietnam in 1968 during the Vietnam War. The unit is not easy to identify but they fly the F-100 Super Sabre or "the Hun", and what appears to be the Phu Cat air base is shown.  This might indicate that the unit shown is the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing (37th TFW) which began operations from the base in April 1967.  The 37th TFW comprised the following F-100 Super Sabre equipped squadrons: 416th Tactical Fighter Squadron (416th TFS), and 612th Tactical Fighter Squadron (612th TFS). The film includes footage of the unit's operational tasks on base such as aircraft maintenance, training and pre-mission briefings, and combat -- primarily bombing Viet Cong and NVA positions. It also features footage of US Air Force personnel collaborating with Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) with medical care for civilians and construction of infrastructure. Lastly, it depicts pilots’ leisure time including relaxing on the beach in Hawaii, viewing music performances via the USO, and celebrating with alcohol as they return to base after a successful mission.

Presented by the Rocketdyne division of North American Aviation, this film "Power for Saturn" introduces the Saturn booster as a vital "workhorse vehicle" for carrying large payloads into space. It likely dates to 1961, when the Army Ballistic Missile Agency was dissolved. The film features a segment with Wehrner von Braun, who created military rocket designs while at ABMA. (He would later combine fuel tanks from Jupiter and Redstone to build the Saturn I.) "Power for Saturn" focuses on the development of the H1 engine by the company, highlighting its innovative design, simplicity, and reliability. It details the rigorous testing process, including research and development engines, evaluation engines, and static firing tests. It emphasizes the advancements in rocket engine technology, showcasing the H1's improved design compared to its predecessors. It highlights the cooperative effort between Rocketdyne and the Army Ballistic Missile Agency in developing the engine. The H-1 was the first stage powerplant for the Saturn 1 and Saturn 1B launch vehicles, the precursors to the Saturn V which took humans to the moon in the Apollo program. The Saturn 1 and Saturn 1B were each fitted with eight H-1s in their first stages. The engine uses RP-1 (kerosene) and liquid oxygen. The film underscores the H1 engine's role in laying the groundwork for future space missions.

Made by Jack Willis for public television, "Lay My Burden Down" is a 1966 documentary that surveys the accomplishments of the civil rights movement during the year after the dramatic Selma-to-Montgomery March and the ensuing voting rights act of 1965. It examines the harsh realities faced by Black sharecroppers and tenant farmers in the rural South during the civil rights era. It exposes a deeply entrenched system of economic exploitation, where landowners control every aspect of Black laborers' lives — from loans and housing to where they shop — keeping them in perpetual debt and dependence. Despite promises of freedom and progress, many Black families face eviction when they demand fair treatment or refuse to sign over government checks meant for them. The film also explores rising political consciousness, including groups like the Black Panthers. Ultimately, while civil rights legislation has brought some superficial change, the root problems of economic injustice and racial inequality remain unresolved.

A white landowner explains how he "takes care" of Black sharecroppers by providing loans, land, and supplies, expecting repayment through crop yields.1:00 – Landowner boasts of generational ties to Black families working his land.1:20 – A man criticizes the system, saying Black families are in financial bondage; the landowner takes nearly everything they produce.1:50 – Discussion of how Black tenants are kept in debt, often making just $300 a year to support large families.2:30 – The landowner introduces the Black workers by name, showing their dependency and proximity.3:30 – Commentary on brainwashing and dependency: the white landowner has conditioned Black tenants to believe they can’t survive without him.4:00 – Some Black families begin leaving plantations voluntarily, but many are forced off when they challenge the system or demand higher wages.4:45 – The tenant farmi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f838b16a-7262-4b12-9b81-2333d1801f29/844b1a9a-f386-4ef6-9c0e-87102b2b8a01-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wDMsuCMku38nktXuRJ6rsZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1679</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T05:52:13.858Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dqVqPPQE38tsJcVV7phJF3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9cfd8e4b-9f54-4345-99b5-385337a3b83c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"LAY MY BURDEN DOWN" 1966 CIVIL RIGHTS DOCUMENTARY FILM  LIVES OF SOUTHERN BLACKS   PART 1  GG28495a</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Made by Jack Willis for public television, "Lay My Burden Down" is a 1966 documentary that surveys the accomplishments of the civil rights movement during the year after the dramatic Selma-to-Montgomery March and the ensuing voting rights act of 1965. The film captures the end of 100 years of Black sharecroppers and tenant farmers in the rural south who have been forced off the land and into tent cities in Alabama and Mississippi in the wake of the civil rights movement and the Voting Rights Act. It shows the beginnings of the Black Power Movement, with Stokely Carmichael, in Lowndes County, Alabama.  Surveys the accomplishments of the civil rights movement during the one year after the dramatic Selma-to-Montgomery march and the ensuing voting rights act of 1965, as observed in the status of tenant farmers whose average earnings are less than $1,000 per year, and who live in constant debt to white plantation owners and the company store. Explains that the rural Negro is no less hungry, no better educated and no more powerful politically than he was then. Urges that the Federal Government create more jobs, allocate poverty-funds more equitably, and police the agriculture department more effectivelyThis documentary revisits Selma, Alabama, a year after the historic 1965 civil rights march, to examine the lives of Black residents in the rural South. While the Voting Rights Act brought political changes such as increased voter registration and token school integration, the economic and social realities for most Black Southerners remained bleak. In Selma and surrounding areas, poverty, hunger, and unemployment were rampant among Black families, while white communities experienced growth and prosperity.

Produced by Wilding, "Modern Magazine Magic" (1956) was created by the Curtis Publishing Co. The film portrays the process of magazine production by Curtis starting from trees being cut down for paper production, to printing and designing different magazines. It features various Curtis Co. titles such as The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies’ Home Journal, Jack &amp; Jill, and Holiday. Curtis was founded in 1883 by Cyrus H. K. Curtis and became one of the nation's most important publishers. The company's failure to diversify led to its decline, and in 1969 the nail was put in the coffin as the flagship Saturday Evening Post ceased publication.

This Pennsylvania Railroad film "Clear Track Ahead" (1946) is a historical and technical overview of the development and impact of the American railroad system. It begins with early westward expansion, showing how railroads replaced slower travel methods like wagons and horses. As rail lines expanded—from a small 61-mile stretch in Pennsylvania to over 26,000 miles—they transformed the economy, enabling commerce, agriculture, and industry to thrive. Technological advancements such as steel rails, air brakes, signaling systems, and electric and diesel locomotives, improved safety and efficiency. It also explores the behind-the-scenes work of freight yards, dispatchers, and maintenance crews, emphasizing the teamwork of dedicated railroad workers. Through continuous innovation and infrastructure growth, the railroad becomes a symbol of national progress—connecting cities, ports, and industries across America and beyond.

This episode of "Danger is My Business", "Treasure Diver" dates to 1961. Here, host Col. John D. Craig joins diver Art McKee as he searches for a Spanish galleon wreck near the Florida Keys. Despite dangerous conditions and a near-fatal entrapment while using heavy diving gear, the lure of lost treasure keeps him determined. The story highlights both the risks and the enduring appeal of underwater exploration. Note: Arthur McKee Jr., known as Art "Silver Bar" McKee, was a noted Florida treasure diver and is often referred to as "the father of modern treasure diving" or the "The Treasure Hunter's Treasure Hunter." McKee pioneered salvage work on historic shipwrecks in the days before scuba diving became popular. He had a tourist museum called "McKee's Sunken Treasure" in Islamorada, Florida, that showed off treasure and relics recovered from the wreck sites of sunken Spanish Galleons. Col. John D. Craig was an adventurer, oil man, writer, soldier, diver, Hollywood stunt man, film producer, and television host. He worked in the commercial surface-supplied diving industry from the 1930s on, and filmed aerial combat over Europe during WWII.

"Introduction to Mining Electronics" (1977) was made by the British Coal Board to explain the role of electronics in the form of semiconductor devices like diodes and transistors. These have replaced older vacuum tube valves. Semiconductors perform three main functions: rectifying, amplifying, and switching electrical currents. Transducers convert physical information (like sound, tension, or water level) into electrical signals, which can be either analog (continuous) or digital (binary). Digital signals are preferred in many systems due to their resistance to distortion and compatibility with fast, compact switching devices like bistables. These bistables store and transmit binary data, forming the basis of memory and control systems. The film illustrates how information is collected, transmitted, and used for monitoring or automated machine control,  enabling safer and more efficient mining operations.

Made by the L.A. County Alcohol Safety Action Project, "El Carro Nuevo" (1976) is an anti-drinking and driving film that targets Mexican-Americans. This film tells the story of Rosa, a determined woman learning to drive to gain independence and support her family. Despite resistance from her husband Ramón—who clings to traditional gender roles and frequently drinks—Rosa persists, taking driving lessons and staying focused on helping buy a new family car. Tensions arise over her growing confidence, especially as she confronts the dangers of drunk driving, which the men around her often dismiss. A turning point occurs when Rosa successfully gets her license, while Ramón faces legal consequences for repeat DUI offenses. In the end, Rosa is empowered and in control—literally driving her family forward, while Ramón reflects on his missteps. The story highlights gender dynamics, responsibility, and the impact of alcohol on families. The film was directed by Frank Lisciandro, with the script by Lisciandro and Alejandro Nogales. Cinematography by Doug Ryan. The film was funded in part by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

"Nobody Goes There" (1965) was directed by Joan Horvath, with cinematography by Charles Colby, and released by ACI. The film uses footage and vintage photographs to chronicle the history of Ellis Island, which at the time had fallen into disuse and decay. The film describes Ellis Island's various names and roles over time. Initially known as the "Island of Gold" and "Oyster Island," it became a key immigration gateway to the U.S. in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, welcoming millions of immigrants from Europe. During this period, Ellis Island was a place of quick medical exams and inspections, with the door to America wide open. However, after World War I, stricter immigration laws transformed the island into a place of intense scrutiny, and immigrants faced formal questioning and medical inspections. Despite overcrowded, unsanitary conditions, the hardships were a result of managing vast numbers of people, not neglect. In the 1960s, the remnants of the immigrant processing center at Ellis Island were threatened with destruction; but then in 1965 the island was declared a National Historic Shrine and it became home to an immigration museum. Ellis Island served as the nation's premier federal immigration station, processing over 12 million immigrants between 1892 and 1954.  The immigration station closed in 1954 and was largely abandoned for several years.  In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared Ellis Island a part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, overseen by the National Park Service.

"Sex Role Development" (1974) is one of the films in the series "Psychology Today" from CRM Productions; it was produced, written and directed by Barbara Jampel. The film examines how gender roles evolve in individuals from birth through puberty and explores the origins, impact, and potential evolution of gender stereotypes, focusing on how society assigns roles to boys and girls from birth and the efforts to challenge these norms. It begins by contrasting traditional expectations—boys as strong, inventive, and powerful (e.g., policemen, doctors) versus girls as graceful, supportive, and emotional (e.g., meter maids, nurses)—and questions whether these traits are innate or socially constructed by parents, peers, and institutions. Through scripted scenes, it illustrates how children are conditioned: a boy is told not to cry and fight back, while a girl is comforted and scolded for not being ladylike.  It then shows Pacific Oaks school in Pasadena, where educators create a non-stereotyped environment, emphasizing emotional development and helping relationships over gender norms during critical preschool years. Teachers aim to model flexibility, though occasional slips reveal ingrained biases. The film critiques outdated media (e.g., a book limiting roles) and suggests kids can learn mutual acceptance. It concludes by pondering if non-sexist upbringing might conflict with human nature, proposing that society’s experiments will oscillate, seeking a balance over time.  

00:00: Boys are depicted as policemen and doctors; girls as graceful meter maids and nurses.0:51: Boys invent and build houses; girls use inventions and keep houses.1:42: Montage of imagery.

This Royal Navy film from 1955 "Submarines / Operational Aspect" follows the journey of the diesel submarine HMS Aurochs on a patrol mission. It highlights the strategic planning, operational challenges, and technological limitations of submarine warfare at the time. HMS Aurochs (P426/S26), was an Amphion-class submarine, built by Vickers Armstrong and launched in 1945 and decommissioned in 1966.    0:00   Main titles. The command structure of a submarine squadron is under the administrative command of a Captain, with operational control from a submarine force commander.    1:04   A briefing officer visits the squadron's base to brief Captain Gray of the Aurochs.    1:52   The squadron commander expresses frustrations about their base's distance from patrol zones, the long travel time, and the lack of a floating dock for maintenance. The briefing officer reveals that the squadron will be moved to a new, closer location to "intensify" their efforts.    3:07   Captain Gray receives his mission orders and a detailed briefing. His patrol area,   Area A  , is a northern channel used by the enemy, but he is given an alternate area,   Area B  , if things get too dangerous.    4:57   For the passage out, Aurochs will be escorted for a short period before traveling on the surface alone. After they are 500 miles from the patrol zone, they are instructed to dive during the day and use their snorkel, or "snort," at night.    5:20   Captain Gray objects to the policy of not using the snorkel during the day, noting that it slows his submarine down significantly and cuts into patrol time. He also points out that the Aurochs's periscope vibrates badly when snorting, making it hard to spot aircraft.      6:03   Explains the "moving haven," a protected corri...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/30af24bc-654d-414c-af62-874543542bb8/34f89d52-51bb-4168-be51-ae7f80459309-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/71Fs4G1Nab6Ab4t8tynsEd</video:player_loc><video:duration>1528</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T07:09:36.745Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pDbAQr1aoPZWt8fqDwtY7a</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a256cc55-4ed5-4a24-bd91-444de5d419ed.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"DANGER IS MY BUSINESS: FLYING MINUTEMEN"  1958 ROLE OF CIVIL AIR PATROL PILOTS IN ALASKA GG50625</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Created by Synesthetics, Inc., this film "Kent State May 1970" (1972) is narrated by E.G. Marshall. It combines still photography and on-the-scene footage to document events from April 30 to May 4, 1970, leading up to the shooting of 13 Kent State University students during campus disturbances
It recounts the tragic events at Kent State University in May 1970, when a peaceful student protest against the U.S. invasion of Cambodia escalated into a deadly confrontation. Over four tense days, rising unrest, curfews, and the deployment of the Ohio National Guard led to clashes between students and authorities. On May 4, during a peaceful noon rally, the National Guard opened fire on unarmed students, killing four and wounding nine. The shootings, later deemed "unnecessary, unwarranted, and inexcusable" by the Scranton Commission and the FBI, ignited national outrage and raised serious questions about the use of military force against civilians. The documentary reflects on the broader implications of the event, challenging the repression of dissent and calling for accountability under the U.S. Constitution.

This film "Hoover Dam" (1949) details the historical struggle and engineering triumph involved in building the Hoover Dam and its hydroelectric power plant. By taming the Colorado River, the American Southwest is transformed, as farmers and local economies benefit. Screenplay by Irwin Gielgud, animation by Tom Palmer Productions, narrated by Sidney N Berry, produced by Simmel Meservey, inc. Directed by Edward C Simmel, cinematography by Jules Bucher.  

00:00 The start of this reel is a cartoon of unknown origin, about construction. 
2:31 Hoover Dam stands as a massive barrier across a narrow canyon where the Colorado River once cut through solid rock.
2:38 Behind the dam, the river has transformed into the quiet waters of Lake Mead, though it still follows its original channel downstream toward the sea.
2:57 The Colorado River Basin is characterized by vast deserts and a lack of steady water supply, with heartiest plants like cactus and Joshua trees surviving on the sunbaked earth.
3:36 Vital highlands to the north shed their waters into the Colorado River system, providing essential resources for the Southwest.
3:46 During the late 19th century, homesteaders established hundreds of farms, but their progress was constantly threatened by alternating periods of drought and devastating floods.
4:50 The Colorado River journeys 1,700 miles south before emptying into the Gulf of California.
5:16 Early farmers attempted to manage the water with makeshift rock and brush dams, but these were insufficient against heavy spring floods that ruined homes and crops.
6:15 In low-water years, severe droughts turned soil to powder, causing wind erosion and leading to the abandonment of desolate farms.

This film "Backside: The Hidden Triple Crown" (1989) was produced and directed by Rodney Jacobs and Freewheelin' Films (https://freewheelinfilms.net/) and narrated by Jim McKay. It explores the challenge and prestige of winning the Triple Crown in American horse racing, a feat achieved only 11 times in over a century. It follows the journey of thoroughbreds through the three iconic races: the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, the Preakness Stakes in Maryland, and the Belmont Stakes in New York. The Kentucky Derby is depicted as a spectacle of tradition, excitement, and high-stakes betting, with jockeys describing the intense pressure and focus required to succeed. The Preakness tests the horse’s speed and recovery over a shorter timeframe, often producing a new champion, while the Belmont Stakes, the longest race, demands exceptional endurance and class. The narrative highlights the drama, strategy, and emotion surrounding each race, culminating in Risen Star’s victory at the Belmont, which continues the legacy of legendary horses and underscores the rarity and allure of the Triple Crown.

Dating to the 1960s, this home movie was shot by an unknown filmmaker who was part of an African American family. The film includes various domestic scenes including a birthday party and a tour of the family's flower garden, as well as a trip aboard a Princess cruise liner. The close of the film is a slow drive through the town of Paradise / Tahoe City, evergreens run the road spotted by local shops and the post office. 

The film opens with shots of what appears to be a birthday party or similar event -- possibly an Easter celebration. Children wear nice clothes, with girls in pastel dresses and their curls pinned under pink barrettes (:07). Pavement clicks heels, the air and smacks what appears to be a small rubber ball. A kicked over table sits next to the driveway near a lawn chair for sun soaking (:16). The ball parade runs in and off the driveway and the sun sets dim and lowered now (:23). The boy’s dress is considerably drab in comparison; short sleeves and sleek dress shoes of dark tones snapping grass twigs (:33). It captures the anticipation of a simple game; a female player in a light white sleeve sundress hides the ball behind her back on the attack (:35). Two boys stand, one with hands on his head and the other, hands on his waist (1:03) light blues and dark shades contrasting one other’s stance though it is the same face, frustration at the tirade parade of girl ball players. A bunny hop follows in the back corner; clamor over for a lose ball (1:17). In another sequence, the mother (1:23) and father figure (2:25) tend to their backyard flower garden. He tramps the grass, long legs amid the rose brush (2:51). Next sequence, aboard what appears to be the dining area of the Princess ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/70ef026f-d79f-4ad1-8ab4-aab470121ab8/b1773c0c-586e-4413-9368-abd1a481ce0c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eWQKvz1HoemFK7rovQRS9q</video:player_loc><video:duration>425</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T07:38:00.105Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nVKgnpDRXGzaGQGTG4Lnyz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7b70cb15-54bd-40c6-b0a6-3ad762c144f5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"ICELAND TODAY"  1960s TRAVELOGUE FILM   TRIP TO REYKJAVIK &amp; VISIT TO LOCAL FARMS  GG28465</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Presented by David Brown Tractors as a promotional, "Iceland Today"  is a 1960s travelogue film that explores the unique geography, culture, and modern development of Iceland, a country located just south of the Arctic Circle. It begins with Iceland’s dramatic landscapes, nearly constant summer daylight, and Norse history, then moves to Reykjavík, a modern and clean capital powered by geothermal energy. The film highlights the country’s traditional roots through preserved farmhouses and folklore, while also showcasing its modern farming methods and reliance on fishing, which drives over 90% of its economy. Viewers are introduced to hot springs, geothermal bread baking, and greenhouses heated by the earth’s natural energy. The documentary also visits Iceland’s majestic waterfalls, volcanic landscapes, and Lake Mývatn, rich in birdlife and lava formations. Traditional transportation by Icelandic pony is featured, as well as the ancient Alþingi parliament site at Þingvellir. The film concludes by celebrating Iceland’s contrasts—snow-covered mountains, geothermal heat, modern life, and preserved heritage—all contributing to its striking and memorable beauty.  Note: David Brown Ltd. was one of the biggest British tractor manufactures in the post war period, with a manufacturing plant at Meltham, West Yorkshire. In 1972 the tractor operations were sold to Tenneco of America, who owned JI Case tractor co.

Released in 1976 by CBS Productions, "Armauer Hansen / Discoverer of the Leprosy Bacillus" tells the story of Armauer Hansen's groundbreaking research led to worldwide recognition of Leprosy, changes in medical practices, and improvements in hygiene and isolation of patients.  In the 1860s, leprosy (aka Hansen's Disease) was a widespread and mysterious disease, affecting many fishermen and farmers in Norway. Dr. Hans Henrik Arow Hansen, assigned as an assistant physician at a leprosy hospital, was determined to find the cause, challenging the widely held belief that the disease was hereditary. He studied patients' living conditions, conducted research, and questioned whether leprosy might be contagious. After years of study, in 1873, Hansen discovered the presence of rod-shaped bacteria in infected tissues, identifying them as the cause of leprosy. By the end of the century, leprosy had been nearly eradicated in Scandinavian countries, marking a significant milestone in medical history.

This film "Ore Extra 225" was created by E.L. Sarber and H.C. Trowe, and distributed by Starlake Films of Indiana. The film shows some of the last days of operation of the Duluth, Missabe &amp; Iron Range steam locomotive No. 225. This was a Class M-3 2-8-8-4 "Yellowstone" type steam locomotive. (Note: this locomotive is currently on static display at Charles E. Carlson Park in Proctor, Minnesota.)

The Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway hauled heavy iron ore in Minnesota. The DM&amp;IR operated long trains of ore cars, requiring maximum power. The "Missabe Giant" locomotives were based upon ten 2-8-8-2s that Baldwin had built in the 1930s for the Western Pacific RR. The need for a larger, coal-burning firebox and a longer, all-weather cab led to the use of a four-wheel trailing truck, giving them the "Yellowstone" wheel arrangement. They were the most powerful Yellowstones built, producing 140,000 lbf (620 kN) of tractive effort, and had the most weight on drivers so that they were less prone to slipping.Eight locomotives (class M-3) were built by Baldwin in 1941. The Yellowstones met or exceeded the DM&amp;IR specifications, so 10 more were ordered (class M-4). The second batch was completed in late 1943 after the Missabe's seasonal downturn in ore traffic, so some of the new M-4s were leased to and delivered directly to the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad.DM&amp;IRs were the only Yellowstones to have a high-capacity pedestal or centipede tender, and had roller bearings on all axles. Some of the locomotives had a cylindrical Elesco feedwater heater ahead of the smoke stack, while others had a Worthington unit with its rectangular box in the same location. Only one Yellowstone was retired before dieselization to...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c8426cfe-ce2a-43ad-ab31-107efcea98f9/0c97f874-1585-443a-90ab-7ad7d4bf839e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qJgZVP9E5dnd3CbMuX1hDF</video:player_loc><video:duration>609</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T07:45:59.948Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6PegpiBfSacua6hHcDCd3a</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2342b16f-098f-4822-9e89-ec4bba20a45f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"A MAN AND THE SEA"  1973 PORTRAIT OF PIONEERING DEEP SEA DIVER COL.

This film "Missabe Giants" shows the massive 2-8-8-4 Yellowstone steam locomotives of the Duluth, Missabe &amp; Iron Range. This was released by Starlake Films of Indiana, and was produced by rail fans E.L. Sarber and H.C. Trowe in 1976.  The footage was likely shot in the early 1960s, shortly before the locomotives were retired. 

The Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway hauled heavy iron ore in Minnesota. The DM&amp;IR operated long trains of ore cars, requiring maximum power. The "Missabe Giant" locomotives were based upon ten 2-8-8-2s that Baldwin had built in the 1930s for the Western Pacific RR. The need for a larger, coal-burning firebox and a longer, all-weather cab led to the use of a four-wheel trailing truck, giving them the "Yellowstone" wheel arrangement. They were the most powerful Yellowstones built, producing 140,000 lbf (620 kN) of tractive effort, and had the most weight on drivers so that they were less prone to slipping.

Eight locomotives (class M-3) were built by Baldwin in 1941. The Yellowstones met or exceeded the DM&amp;IR specifications, so 10 more were ordered (class M-4). The second batch was completed in late 1943 after the Missabe's seasonal downturn in ore traffic, so some of the new M-4s were leased to and delivered directly to the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad.

DM&amp;IRs were the only Yellowstones to have a high-capacity pedestal or centipede tender, and had roller bearings on all axles. Some of the locomotives had a cylindrical Elesco feedwater heater ahead of the smoke stack, while others had a Worthington unit with its rectangular box in the same location. Only one Yellowstone was retired before dieselization took place on the Missabe; No. 237 was sold for scrap after a wreck.

This untitled film about Afghanistan appears to be from early 1950s, and was produced by the United Nations Film Board. The film includes rare footage of the Buddhas of Bamiyan. It gives a brief overview of the nation, its people and development. Afghanistan is shown as a country with a rich history but isolated by geography and war. The country sought help from the UN in the 1950s to modernize its agriculture, health, and industry. With the assistance of UN experts, significant progress has been made in improving the country's infrastructure. Simple yet effective innovations, such as introducing the scythe for wheat harvesting and improving salt production methods, have increased efficiency. The fight against malaria has been particularly successful with the help of the World Health Organization (WHO), reducing the disease in affected regions. Additionally, the government has worked with UN experts to enhance cotton production, improve sheep farming, and develop coal mining. Encouraged by these advancements, Afghanistan is laying a strong foundation for a prosperous future, combining its efforts with the knowledge and skills provided by the UN.

"400 Years in Four Minutes / The New Betty Crocker Method of Making Cake" (1946) is a Betty Crocker promotional film that presents a new, simplified method for baking cakes, contrasting it with traditional methods. It was produced by Calvin Productions on behalf of the Home Service Department of General Mills, supervised by Eleanor Howe and William S. Harvey, Jr.  (Howe was a well-known Home Economics expert.) It was produced by Larry Sherwood and directed by Neal Keehn. 

0:00 Main titles.   The film begins with a historical anecdote, telling the story of a king who loved good food. His cook, risking his life, experimented with a new type of cake—a tall, round one—which was a huge success, establishing cake as a centerpiece for celebrations.
 4:04   The narrator fast-forwards through different centuries, showing various cakes like the 16th-century spice cake, the 17th-century banbury cake, and the 18th-century nuns' cake, emphasizing that cake has always been a symbol of triumph and happiness.
 4:32   The film transitions to modern times, acknowledging that while cakes are a highlight of every joyful occasion, many women have had difficulty baking perfect cakes. The problem, it explains, lies in the confusing terminology of old recipes, such as "cream the shortening and sugar" and "fold in egg whites," leading to inconsistent results.
6:02   The film introduces Betty Crocker and her staff, who sought to solve this problem by creating a new, easier, and more reliable baking method. They conducted hundreds of tests, carefully measuring and comparing cakes mixed by hand and machine.
7:13   After months of testing, a new "home method" was developed and tested by hundreds of homemakers across the country.

Made in 1955 by DeFrenes &amp; Co. for the U.S. Department of Education, "School Bus Operation" is one of a series of school bus driver training films. This one focuses on "passengers, driving hazards and safety".  Filmed in Haverford Township, Pennsylvania and featuring what appear to be Dodge WF Series school buses, the film highlights the crucial role school buses and their drivers play in modern education, particularly in rural and suburban areas. It contrasts the challenges faced by earlier generations with the improved access to education today, thanks to reliable school transportation. Emphasizing safety, the film outlines the responsibilities of bus drivers—not just as drivers, but as caretakers akin to teachers—responsible for children's welfare from pickup to drop-off. It stresses the importance of vehicle maintenance, clear communication with school authorities and parents, and the value of bus safety patrols. Drivers are urged to avoid risky driving behaviors, follow safety protocols at railroad crossings and road crossings, and ensure every child is accounted for. The overall message underscores that school bus drivers are a vital part of the educational system, with a duty to prioritize safety, discipline, and trust every day.

This short film "Red Republic" dates to 1934 but was re-released decades later. It was shot by famed photographer Margaret Bourke-White, and is known as her first (and last) attempt at filmmaking. The film was made possible thanks to a donation of 20,000 feet of film by Kodak.  Bourke-White was an American photographer and documentary photographer and the first foreign photographer permitted to take pictures of Soviet industry under the Soviets' first five-year plan. She was also the first American female war photojournalist, and took a photograph (of the construction of Fort Peck Dam) that became the cover of the first issue of Life magazine

Produced by MGM's industrial films division, directed by Robert Cashy, narrated by Hal Smith and hosted by Sir Cedric Hardwicke, "Scooter School" is a promotional and safety training film for Cushman Motor Works scooters that dates to 1960s. Cushman produced scooters from 1936 - 1965. The company started in 1903 in Lincoln, Nebraska, by Everett and Clinton Cushman. The company incorporated as Cushman Motor Works in 1913. Cushman began production of their four-stroke Husky engine in 1922. The film presents a safety-focused educational program designed to teach teenagers, starting at age 14, how to responsibly operate motor scooters as a stepping stone toward becoming safe automobile drivers. It emphasizes the importance of early driver education to prevent accidents and instill lifelong safe driving habits. Through a structured curriculum combining classroom instruction and practical driving exercises, students learn traffic laws, vehicle mechanics, hand signals, emergency maneuvers, and the "10 Commandments" of scooter safety. The program, supported by local communities, police, and scooter dealers, aims to prepare young drivers to be skilled, courteous, and law-abiding participants on the road, reducing risks before they transition to full-size vehicles. Graduation from the program marks a significant milestone in promoting a culture of safety and responsibility among future motorists. Note: Sir Cedric Webster Hardwicke was an English stage and film actor whose career spanned over 50 years. His theatre work included notable performances in productions of the plays of Shakespeare and Shaw, and his film work included leading roles in several adapted literary classics.

"You and Office Safety" was produced by Holland-Wegman Productions, a division of Niagara Frontier Services in 1968 and released by Xerox Films This film uses a series of humorous, exaggerated vignettes to illustrate common, seemingly trivial office hazards and the serious consequences that can arise from carelessness. It emphasizes that accidents are not planned but occur due to a lack of awareness of potential dangers in everyday actions. The film advocates for "common sense thinking" and proactive measures, such as reading labels, using handrails, picking up dropped items, and reporting hazards, to prevent injuries and even fatalities in the workplace. 

0:00 The film opens by ironically suggesting that simply coming to work and performing routine actions like opening a door doesn't seem like it would lead to an accident.0:53 It highlights that no one plans an accident, often showing minor actions leading to comedic yet impactful mishaps.1:14 The film presents everyday office items like doors, felt markers, umbrellas, and filing cabinets as potential hazards when not handled with care.3:15 The importance of proper lifting techniques is briefly, yet humorously, demonstrated.3:45 Chairs are shown as seemingly harmless items that can cause accidents due to their rolling, swiveling, and tilting capabilities.4:16 Even a seemingly innocuous pencil is presented as a potential cause of an accident.4:31 The film acknowledges that "accidents will happen" but stresses that office safety is often not taken seriously, despite its importance.4:49 It defines office safety as "common sense thinking" and "one step ahead," considering the consequences of actions.5:27 Simple safety acts are ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d6737b7b-94b3-46bb-a715-ed1a0b017cbf/46f1eb63-e396-4ab7-88f8-b884e40d3682-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/stVdvY36UxGbxi1dzXW1tz</video:player_loc><video:duration>489</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T08:22:20.113Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gBdNLpUhwZhyyZ8XR7phfr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/28478518-2ca8-4ef4-a00b-e2462700225b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"Q TRIPS WITH 5632 &amp; 4960"  1960s STEAM LOCOMOTIVE FAN EXCURSION TRIPS ON CB&amp;Q RAILROAD GG52495a</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This film "Q Trips with 5632 &amp; 4960" shows fan excursion trips made with Chicago, Burlington and Quincy steam locomotives 5632 and 4960. These footage was shot sometimes between 1958-1966, when both locomotives were used the railroad's steam program, including a train that was dedicated to the CB&amp;Q's connection to Casper, Wyoming. In July 1966, the CB&amp;Q discontinued their steam program, following a rise in insurance costs, a loss of experienced steam-age mechanics, and a change of management. The film was released by Starlake Films of Indiana, and produced by railfans E.L. Sarber and H.C. Trowe.

Steam locomotive 5632 was an O-5B class 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotive, built in August 1940 by the CB&amp;Q shops. It was used to pull mainline passenger and freight trains before it eventually became famous for pulling a plethora of excursion trains for the CB&amp;Q's steam excursion program. By the time the program ended in 1966, No. 5632 was disassembled for an unfinished overhaul, and was subsequently sold to Chicago area railfan Richard Jensen. The locomotive was moved inside a Chicago and Western Indiana Railroad (C&amp;WI) roundhouse for restoration. In 1969, No. 5632 was evicted from the roundhouse and illegally moved to a scrapyard. Upon entry, the locomotive derailed on a curve, resulting in severe damage. It was scrapped in 1972.

Steam locomotive 4960 is still in operation for the Grand Canyon Railway.

Dating to 1982 and produced by BFA, "Marijuana Alert!" was produced for viewing by school-age children. Featuring testimony from the public, as well as interviews with doctors, marijuana researchers, and other experts, this documentary argues that marijuana is a harmful drug that can impact lung function, brain function, and overall health.

00:00 The film introduces the common misconception that marijuana is harmless, contrasting it with scientific findings that it affects every organ tested, including the lungs, heart, and brain. 1:22 Patrick, a college student, undergoes tests to measure physical and mental performance before and after smoking marijuana, revealing slower running times, more driving mistakes, and significantly lower aptitude test scores when under the influence. 3:34 Marijuana is described as a stubborn substance whose resin sticks to organs and can remain in the system for up to 10 weeks, collecting in various parts of the body, including male and female reproductive organs. 4:33 A 4-year study on rhesus monkeys by Dr. Sassenrath found that daily THC exposure during pregnancy led to over 40% pregnancy loss, prompting her to advise expectant mothers against marijuana use. 6:32 The film highlights that marijuana smoke contains 420 chemical compounds, including cancer-causing agents like benzanthracene and benzopyrene, and is inhaled deeper and held longer than cigarette smoke, making it potentially more damaging to the lungs than tobacco. 7:47 Dr. Barry Calverley's 5-year study on chronic marijuana smokers revealed changes in lung function linked to early signs of emphysema, bronchitis, and lung cancer, with evidence of premalignant cells found in the lungs of marijuana-smoking soldiers killed in Vietnam. 9:42 The effects of marijuana on...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/24513b47-b876-4b2f-a75f-849a310fad17/020cdd25-2db8-43ce-b765-a2b17ffadf18-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5u7ftayEMDQwuKsbGCseDi</video:player_loc><video:duration>1199</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T08:26:16.968Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/r99i3QdzVQ8FuQyNkvahV3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/81062147-3054-405b-b0fc-54213664be48.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" GROOVING " 1970 NEW YORK STATE NARCOTIC ADDICTION CONTROL COMMISSION  ANTI-MARIJUANA FILM  SM10285</video:title><video:description>Produced by the New York State Narcotic Addiction Control Commission, "Grooving" presents teens discussing the use of marijuana.

Produced in 1924 by Ben WIlson Productions, "Notch Number One" is a silent Western with one notable twist: it features a character who smokes marijuana — and goes crazy as a result — in the plot. Here, a cowboy (Ben F. Wilson) sets out to prevent a rancher's beautiful daughter (Marjorie Daw) from marrying a villain (Merrill McCormick) and losing the ranch. This cautionary tale was written by Daniel F. Whitcomb and directed by Ben F. Wilson.   

Synopsis: Tom Watson, foreman of the Moore Ranch, is in love with Dorothy, the owner's daughter, who is engaged to Dave Leonard. One night Dave becomes violent after smoking "a new kind of cigarette" -- some marijuana (loco weed) given him by Pete, a ranch hand recently fired by Tom. Moore tries to restrain Dave. Pete, seeking revenge, shoots Moore. Tom, believing Dave guilty, takes the blame and becomes a fugitive. He is captured after rescuing 6-year-old Dickie Moore, who had become lost on the desert. Pete is found dead, but with a confession that frees Tom.

Here are a series of 1970s anti-drug public service announcements including several from the National Institute of Mental Health warning about the evils of prescription drugs and illegal ones. At 0:08, baseball legend Willie Mays delivers a public service message warning young people about the dangers of marijuana possession. He explains that getting caught with pot can result in serious legal consequences, potentially putting you at a disadvantage in life. He urges viewers to write to the National Institute of Mental Health for free, fact-based booklets.By 0:44, the focus shifts to amphetamines, or “speed”, with Rod Serling narrating. Although injecting speed is widely known to be deadly, the narration highlights the growing misuse of speed pills and meth crystals, warning that even casual use can lead to severe health problems, personality changes, and even death. The message is reinforced at 1:19, where the dangers of so-called “fat doctors” are exposed—individuals who profit by distributing millions of diet pills annually. These include amphetamines, barbiturates, and other potent drugs. Taken in excess or in dangerous combinations, they can cause fatal outcomes. The viewer is reminded to consult a trusted family doctor before using such substances.At 1:50, the documentary introduces Mary Clayton, a woman who heavily relies on pills to function but doesn’t consider herself a junkie. Rod Serling narrates. Clayton uses amphetamines to wake up and barbiturates to sleep, all without medical supervision. The narration warns that such unsupervised use of legal drugs can lead to addiction and distorted judgment. The alarming part: she doesn’t even realize she's addicted.

"Firefighting in Submarines" (1980) is a Royal Navy training film that shows the hazard of a fire aboard a submarine, and how to suppress them. It was directed by John Pitt and produced by John Wiles and Films of Today co. This film depicts a realistic and intense fire drill aboard a submarine, emphasizing the extreme danger fires pose in such confined, high-risk environments. It begins showing normal operations before a sudden fire breaks out in the diesel room. The crew immediately reacts, triggering emergency protocols and attempting to contain the fire as smoke spreads. As systems begin to fail—including power and cooling—there is growing concern about the proximity of enemy warships, which prevents the submarine from surfacing to ventilate. The attack team works to extinguish the fire, eventually succeeding, though risks of re-ignition and impaired operations remain. The film concludes with a strong message: the crew's survival hinged on thorough training, speed, and preparation, highlighting that in real emergencies, hesitation or mistakes can be fatal.

0:00 – Scenic shots of Royal Navy submarines, including Dreadnought class, diving in the open ocean. Captain issues orders as the periscope is secured.  1:11 – Crew begins routine operations, including pumping 600 gallons of fuel; calm and structured activity.2:06 – Red Navy warship shown on the surface.

This film "Mission Mediterranean" (1964) highlights the role and operations of the U.S. Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean Sea. It begins by framing the Mediterranean as a historical lifeline of commerce and the cradle of Free World civilization, noting its significance from ancient times through Columbus’s voyages to the U.S. Navy’s early 19th-century efforts against Barbary Pirates. The primary focus is the Sixth Fleet’s modern mission: protecting this vital sea as a mobile, versatile force under U.S. and NATO command, capable of responding to threats ranging from limited engagements to full-scale war. The script details the fleet’s operations, including early warning patrols, supply ship logistics, and hypothetical combat scenarios where reconnaissance planes gather intelligence, aircraft launch strikes, and Marines execute amphibious landings, all supported by advanced radar, missiles, and anti-submarine defenses. It emphasizes the fleet’s independence, readiness, and coordination with allies, showcasing its power through dramatic sequences of battle preparation and execution. Beyond combat, it portrays the fleet as a "power for peace," visiting over 100 ports to build goodwill with Mediterranean nations, strengthening NATO ties and mutual understanding. The narrative celebrates the diverse American sailors who serve briefly before rotating home, underscoring their role in maintaining peace and defending liberty in the region and beyond, framed as a continuous, vigilant duty. Overall, it’s a patriotic tribute to the Sixth Fleet’s strategic importance, blending historical context, military prowess, and diplomatic outreach.

This restricted WWII Army Air Forces film "Sea Rescue Equipment for Airplane Crews / Inspection and Maintenance" (1943) was made by the War Department. It focuses on the inspection and maintenance of sea rescue equipment, specifically Mae West type life vests and one-man and multi-place life rafts, used by pilots during emergencies, such as a water landing. Narrated in a reassuring tone, it addresses a pilot facing "tough luck" and details the processes carried out in a parachute equipment room to ensure this gear is reliable. The script explains how life vests are inspected every six months—manually inflated, tested for leaks underwater, repaired with cold patches if needed, and rechecked for integrity, including CO2 cylinders. It then covers the similar care given to one-man life rafts, which are unpacked, inflated, pressure-tested, repaired, and repacked with essential accessories like water and repair kits, ensuring no air remains to avoid high-altitude issues. Multi-place rafts, like a 1,000-lb type, undergo comparable six-month and 100-hour checks, with attention to valves, CO2 units, and accessories, all carefully repacked into aircraft compartments. The overarching theme is the critical role of thorough, methodical maintenance—avoiding shortcuts like vulcanizing or hasty gauges—to guarantee the equipment’s dependability, emphasizing the crew’s commitment to pilots’ safety with a promise not to "gamble" on their lives. It’s a procedural guide wrapped in a supportive message for flyers, blending technical detail with a sense of camaraderie and trust.

This well-produced silent, amateur 16mm home movie shows part of a Montana dude ranch trip made in the 1930s. The film shows a family visiting what we believe to be the Allan Ranch near Augusta, which was run by Ralph Allan, a licensed guide and packer who advertised that he could "pack you into good game country." It also shows a visit to a local church, beautiful images of Native Americans including both men and women, a baseball game, and a rodeo with bucking broncos.

"What is a Computer?" is a 1970 animated film by the Argo Record Company which was distributed by Encyclopedia Brittanica Films. It explains the evolution and basic principles of computing, using the metaphor of counting sheep to illustrate how repetitive tasks led to the development of computational systems. It starts with simple methods like using fingers or stones (unitary system) to count, progressing to the decimal system and the abacus for better efficiency. The narrative then introduces the binary system—using ones and zeros (bits)—as the foundation of modern computing, showing how these bits can represent on/off states in devices like switches, lamps, or punched cards. It describes how early computers process data through input (e.g., punched cards), storage (e.g., magnetic fields), and output (e.g., typewriters), with programs controlling operations via switches. The text covers flowcharts for logical problem-solving, binary logic circuits ("and," "not," "or"), and the computer’s strengths: fast calculations, complex switching, and vast storage. It highlights applications like automation, information retrieval, and space travel, where computers simulate conditions using alphanumeric data. Finally, it speculates on future possibilities—coding emotions like love or courage—while humorously suggesting counting sheep if the concept overwhelms, tying back to the opening metaphor. 

1:00 - Counting sheep is boring and repetitive, ideal for machines to handle. 1:08 - A machine to count sheep could improve on the unitary system of one finger or stone per sheep, using stones as memory. 1:37 - Many sheep need many stones; the decimal system improves this by counting in tens with column...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f3117f8a-426f-4ceb-b856-c386e3164809/dfaea644-ebe1-4a45-8f04-9e48cb7136ed-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/w1SRoJLU7uqG66cbuq8nZk</video:player_loc><video:duration>1168</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T08:43:25.382Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9PiQXDy9qTLtBy4qrktYnf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e2f33989-37cf-4260-8996-2a9841df6efe.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s DUDE RANCH AND HORSEBACK RIDING TRIP TO MOOSE CREEK   ALLAN RANCH   AUGUSTA, MONTANA CS10195</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This well-produced silent, amateur 16mm home movie shows part of a Montana dude ranch trip made in the 1930s. The film shows a family visiting the Allan Ranch, riding horseback, camping cowboy style, and visiting the "Chinese Wall". This is a natural granite escarpment over 15 miles long and 1,000 feet tall within the Bob Marshall Wilderness, named for its resemblance to the Great Wall of China. The Allan Ranch was run by Ralph Allan, a licensed guide and packer who advertised that he could "pack you into good game country."

Hosted by Cliff Robertson, this documentary from Rodney Jacobs and Freewheelin' Films (https://freewheelinfilms.net/) "Sacred Ground: The Indian and the Land" explores the profound spiritual relationship between Native American peoples and the land they inhabit. It presents the land not merely as property, but as a living, sacred entity deeply intertwined with creation, ancestry, and identity. The film highlights how Indigenous cultures built sacred sites in harmony with nature and honored the Creator through ritual and vision-seeking. It contrasts Native perspectives with European settlers’ desire to dominate the landscape, showing how forced removal from sacred ground caused deep spiritual trauma. Ultimately, it calls for recognition of the Earth’s sacredness and urges a return to reverence for the natural world, echoing Indigenous wisdom that has long valued harmony, respect, and balance with the land.

Dating to April of 1944, this reel of gun camera footage shows planes of the VIII Fighter Command in action in Occupied France. Most of the footage is of air to ground attacks, but the reel also contains footage of air to air combat or dogfights.  During this time period the VIII operated Lockheed P-38 Lightnings, Republic P-47 Thunderbolts, and North American P-51 Mustangs.

00:00 Opening title card
00:18 2nd Lt. J.L. Lang of the 334th Squadron makes an attack on German aircraft on the ground, a flak tower at 00:37, and then more aircraft.
00:46 1st Lt. N. Megura of the 334th Squadron makes an attack on parked aircraft. During this footage, the aircraft in front of him (possibly his wingman, or possibly a German fighter) is hit and begins smoking prominently. At 1:27, Megura strafes a train, parked aircraft, and other targets. Note: this is almost certainly Nicholas Megura. About a month prior to when this was shot, on March 6, 1944, First Lieutenant Megura shot down one German Messerschmitt Bf 110 and damaged a second one. Two days later, while on a B-17 bomber escort mission, five Messerschmitt Bf 109s attacked the group. Megura was able to quickly down one, and then engaged another Bf 109 which was attacking a B-17. Forcing the pilot of the Bf 109 to bail out, Megura claimed his fifth victory of the war along with ace status. For his actions during this three day period, Megura was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross in April.

This silent footage shows a Negro League Baseball game between the Philadelphia Stars and the Baltimore Elite Giants. It's not known exactly when this game took place. In a game played on July 1, 1946, the Philadelphia Stars defeated the Baltimore Elite Giants 2-1. The game was played at Shibe Park, known later as Connie Mack Stadium, in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Stars' Bill Cash hit a home run, while the Baltimore Elite Giants' Henry Kimbro had a strong performance. The Philadelphia Stars' Barney Brown pitched a complete game win. 

The Baltimore Elite Giants were a professional baseball team that played in the Negro leagues from 1920 to 1950. The team was established by Thomas T. Wilson, in Nashville, Tennessee as the semi-pro Nashville Standard Giants on March 26, 1920. The team was renamed the Elite Giants in 1921, and moved to Baltimore, Maryland in 1938, where the team remained for the duration of their existence. The team and its fans pronounced the word "Elite" as "ee-light"

The Philadelphia Stars were a Negro league baseball team from Philadelphia. The Stars were founded in 1933 when Ed Bolden returned to professional black baseball after being idle since early 1930. The Stars were an independent ball club in 1933, a member of the Negro National League from 1934 until the League's collapse following the 1948 season, and affiliated with the Negro American League from 1949 to 1952. In 1934, led by 20-year-old left-hander Slim Jones, the Stars defeated the Chicago American Giants in a controversial playoff series, four games to three, for the Negro National League pennant. At their high point in mid-1930s, the team starred such greats as Biz Mackey, Jud Wilson, and Dick Lundy.

This Department of the Interior film "The Last Frontier" (1967) was directed and photographed by Larry Madison, written by Robert Campbell and narrated by Joe Julian. It reflects on the transformation of the American landscape, highlighting the beauty once found across the country and the widespread environmental degradation that followed industrialization and urban expansion. It contrasts the Native American spiritual connection to the land with modern society's overuse and neglect. Despite the loss of the frontier, about half a billion acres of public land remain, mostly in the West and Alaska. These lands—rich in biodiversity, cultural heritage, and natural beauty—are managed by the Bureau of Land Management and support a range of uses including recreation, grazing, timber harvesting, and wildlife conservation.

This film from producer/director Rodney Jacobs and Freewheelin' Films (https://freewheelinfilms.net/) "Sacred Ground: Indian Origin, Legend and Spirit" presents a history of the land now called the United States, showing how it is deeply intertwined with Native American culture and their sacred relationship to the land. It is hosted by actor Cliff Robertson. Early European settlers, beginning with Columbus and Jamestown, often misunderstood or exploited Native generosity, leading to conflicts and broken promises, such as those made by Thomas Jefferson. Over centuries, Native cultures were nearly eradicated and confined to reservations, yet they retained a profound spiritual connection to the earth. Tribes like the Pueblo, Kya, Yuma, Puma, and Maricopa have rich traditions that tie their identity to the land through sacred ceremonies, migrations, and symbolic rock writings that preserve their history and prophecy. Despite the loss and disruption caused by colonization, Native Americans’ spiritual connection to nature and their cultural heritage continues to endure, with sacred sites such as volcanic peaks holding great spiritual significance.

Dating to April 14 of 1959, this silent film shows various views of the test launch of the first Atlas D rocket, 3-65/926, #.1002. This launch was of an ICBM model, and took place at Launch Complex 13 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (now the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station). At 1:31, a slate indicates Atlas #1002, which was the maiden flight of the Atlas D ICBM. At 1:39 there is an explosion during launch and the rocket is aborted in a ball of flame. At 4:25, another slate for Atlas #1002. In this view, the bird is seen to hesitate during liftoff and is later aborted. According to a source, the cause of the failure was that the LOX fill/drain valve failed to close at liftoff, leading to booster section explosion T+26 seconds. RSO T+36 seconds. At 7:00, another view of the launch from a far distance. 

In 1959, there were 9 Atlas rocket launches. This included three Atlas B launches, two Atlas LV-3B, and four Atlas D launches. Of the four Atlas D launches, three were failures. The SM-65D Atlas, or Atlas D, was the first operational version of the U.S. Atlas missile. Atlas D was first used as an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) to deliver a nuclear weapon payload on a suborbital trajectory. It was later developed as a launch vehicle to carry a payload to low Earth orbit on its own, and later to geosynchronous orbit, to the Moon, Venus, or Mars with the Agena or Centaur upper stage.

Originally produced by Coronet in 1963 and then revised in 1983, "The Civil War: Background Issues (1820-1860)  provides an overview of the growing tensions between the North and South in the United States during the early 19th century, primarily focused on the issue of slavery. Following the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which temporarily settled the balance between slave and free states, the expansion of slavery into new territories became a divisive issue. As the U.S. expanded westward, debates intensified, especially with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the rise of abolitionist movements, and the Dred Scott decision, which further inflamed regional divisions. Tensions also escalated due to economic differences, such as the protective tariffs favored by the North, which the South opposed. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, viewed by Southerners as a threat to slavery, led to South Carolina's secession and the eventual formation of the Confederacy, marking the beginning of the Civil War.

00:00: The United States in 1817 is in a period of growing national pride and unity, known as the Era of Good Feelings. Political rivalry almost disappears, and President James Monroe is re-elected in 1820 without opposition. The nation is growing through business expansion and westward settlement.1:25 - 2:04: The Missouri application for statehood sparks a crisis. With 11 northern and 11 southern states, the balance of power in the Senate is at risk. The Missouri controversy ignites a bitter debate over the expansion of slavery into western territories.2:06 - 2:47: Slavery’s roots in the U.S. go back to Colonial times, especially in the southern economy, where large-scale farming depended on slave labor. While the northern states moved to abolish slaver...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c950ef1f-cb7a-40ea-bce8-fd800aea78d0/7a9c3621-78fd-4bfd-8687-3c902c39c3d5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qRQWCvkYz4aocUncfcYEQG</video:player_loc><video:duration>1234</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T09:08:26.684Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wbxrMudZ8a7aetUin6W6wb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2a499c61-8722-4f2c-b341-3a814f318100.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s TV COMMERCIALS  CREST TOOTHPASTE  BIRDS EYE RICE   3M   WONDER BREAD  ALKA SELTZER  SM11195</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

In this film from producer Rodney Jacobs and Freehweelin' Films (https://freewheelinfilms.net/), former race driver Sam Posey explores the sport of bobsledding at the Lake Placid track, site of the 1980 Winter Olympics. Guided by former Olympian Paul Laney, Sam learns the fundamentals of the sport, including sled design, weight regulations, track dangers, and the importance of precision when steering and braking. After starting as a passenger and feeling the intense G-forces and limited visibility, he progresses to the role of brakeman and finally attempts to drive the sled himself. The experience highlights both the physical demands and technical complexity of bobsledding. Sam draws strong parallels between bobsledding and auto racing, ultimately gaining a deep respect for the sport and its athletes.

This 1960s film "Marina Del Rey" was presented by the L.A. County Small Craft Harbor Commission and the L.A. County Board of Supervisors. It is a documentary that blends a child's whimsical imagination with a factual look at the daily operations of Marina Del Rey, California. Rather than a standard travelogue, it frames the harbor as a magical kingdom where industry and recreation coexist. It was written by Gary Philp, with music by Charles Bernstein, narration by Shari Friedland, and was directed by James Tartan. The film probably dates to just after the time that Marina del Rey was formally dedicated in 1965. At that time, it was North America's largest man-made small craft harbor. LA County authorized a loan to start the project in 1953, and in 1957 construction of the jetties for the entrance channel began.  In 1963, construction of the breakwater started and was finished in January 1965. On April 10, 1965 the harbor was officially dedicated. The development transformed former marshlands into a thriving community with apartments, restaurants, and recreational facilities, culminating in its grand opening in the mid-1960s. 

0:00 Main titles. The King of the Little Sea. The narrator introduces a mythical king who lives deep in the harbor, whose throne is made of sea flowers and whose movements control the tides and the fish.

2:09 The Forest of Towers. A description of the many boat masts along the shore, standing tall like a forest.

3:49 The Harbor Patrol. The narrator’s father and his friends are described as "guardians" who watch over the "water horses" (boats) to ensure they are safe at the docks.

This documentary from producer Rodney Jacobs and Freewheelin' Films (https://freewheelinfilms.net/) "Visions of Speed" (1985) follows the intertwined racing journeys of Paul Newman, Mario Andretti, and Jim “Fitzy” Fitzgerald—three men united by a deep passion for speed and competition. Paul Newman, known primarily as a Hollywood actor, developed a serious commitment to racing later in life, becoming a professional driver and co-owner of an IndyCar team with Andretti. Under the mentorship of Bob Sharp, Newman advanced rapidly from amateur to pro racing, forming a close bond with teammate Fitzy, a seasoned driver and instructor. The film highlights key races at tracks like Watkins Glen, Road America, and Road Atlanta, showcasing both victories and setbacks. Newman’s racing origins trace back to his film "Winning", shot at Road America, which ignited his lifelong love for the sport. As urban development threatens tracks like Riverside Raceway, the team adapts to street racing in cities like Las Vegas. The season culminates with Andretti clinching the IndyCar Championship, celebrating alongside Newman and co-owner Carl Haas. Through their shared dedication and teamwork, the film paints a portrait of three men brought together by their relentless pursuit of speed and excellence in racing.

This U.S. Department of the Interior film produced by Rodney Jacobs and Freewheelin' Films (https://freewheelinfilms.net/), entitled "Margins of the Desert", explores how poor grazing practices have contributed to the degradation of arid and semi-arid lands in the western United States, turning once-productive grasslands into desert-like landscapes. It highlights the history of land use, from early settlers and overgrazing to the federal government’s intervention through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Various case studies across states like New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Oregon demonstrate how mismanagement led to erosion, invasive shrubs, and habitat loss. However, the film also shows successful restoration efforts through improved grazing systems, such as rest-rotation, reseeding, and structural erosion control. These strategies not only helped restore native vegetation and wildlife habitats but also supported sustainable livestock production. With proper management and cooperation, desertification can be reversed, offering valuable lessons for similar environments worldwide.

0:00 – Deserts are harsh, growing environments. Grasslands on their margins are vulnerable to becoming desert if mismanaged.1:12 – Hugh O'Brien explains the film's purpose: to show how poor grazing practices destroy grasslands and how management can restore them.2:00 – Early civilizations thrived on desert margins. In the US, grasslands supported settlers and livestock in the 1800s.2:59 – Water rights conflicts in the West led to violence. In 1934, the federal government began regulating grazing on public lands.4:34 – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) began developing grazing systems based on the needs of plants and livesto...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2c3428d0-83f0-499e-930d-9496681dd209/a589d9c3-6fc7-43a8-882f-2646194aedf1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6sAhsx4UjbmK4Gn25ntdma</video:player_loc><video:duration>2067</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T09:30:11.844Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jj8RrZLuGddEEByzh2CTS7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/15480567-8e85-4eb2-9ec6-a894b16a920a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s TV COMMERCIALS COMPILATION  MOBIL ONE MOTOR OIL   PROGRESSO SOUP  BURGER TIME PATTIES SM11145</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

“Old MacDonald’s Farm” is a 1952 short written and directed by J.D. Trop in an effort to encourage children’s interest in nature. It portrays the narrative of a young boy on a weekend trip to a farm where he meets and learns about various animals thus connecting himself to nature. The boy is guided along his journey by the famous nursery rhyme “Old MacDonald had a Farm.” Travis Johnson and the Song Spinners; a 1930’s folk quartet, recorded this version of the tune. It is important to note this film is missing it’s original soundtrack. J.D. Trop; a New York born producer and writer, was known for titles such 1926’s “Keep Going” and 1928’s “Riders of Vengeance.” The film shows life for youth in the 1950’s drawing a comparison between adolescent entertainment and recreation in the city versus the in country. The short provides a look into life lived off the land as well as the variety and layers within the animal kingdom. It opens with Tommy in tattered clothing in a noticeably drab, gray and treeless city setting. As Tommy arrives at the farm he begins to appreciate the myriad of life within a natural setting noting various tree, plant and animal species.

This film, "Getting to know Monophoto Filmsetters" (1963), explains the process of using a   Monophoto Filmsetter  for typesetting, a revolutionary photographic alternative to traditional hot-metal typesetting. Using light-sensitive paper, a photographic lens, and photo type matrices, the Monophoto Filmsetter casts type that can be used for offset printing instead of the old, hot-metal process.

    0:00   The film begins by demonstrating the manual process of arranging film strips to create a title card, which serves as an introduction to the topic.
    1:42   The  Monophoto Filmsetter  is a modern evolution of the classic Monotype machine, which "eats paper and lays type." He reassures viewers that its underlying principle is the same, despite using film instead of molten metal.
    2:30  A keyboard operator preparing a paper ribbon with the required text, a familiar process that makes the new technology easy for experienced users to adopt.
    3:05   The operator logs the job details on the ribbon spool, which is then handed to the Filmsetter operator.
    3:26   The Filmsetter operator, Colin, sets up the machine by fitting the correct film case for the typeface, adjusting the optics for the point size, and setting the line feed and gear train for the character set width.
    5:03   The operator loads the film drum into a light-proof box and places the paper ribbon spool on the machine, making it ready to run.
    5:48   The machine starts with the simple press of a switch and can run automatically, a significant efficiency improvement.
    6:28   Diagrammatic explanation of the machine's operation: a light source shines through a condenser lens and a selected character on the film matrix.

This Soviet film "The Dangers of Drugs" (1970s) presents a stark and emotional portrayal of drug addiction, particularly among youth, highlighting its devastating psychological, physical, and social consequences. It begins with a story of a girl who takes her life after heavy drug use, using this as a gateway to discuss how addiction often starts with curiosity or a desire to escape. Personal testimonies illustrate how quickly experimentation can turn into dependency, as users seek artificial ways to cope with emotional pain or social pressure. The film explains the science behind addiction, detailing how substances hijack the brain’s chemistry, leading to psychological dependence, physical addiction, and increasing tolerance. As addiction deepens, the initial euphoria disappears, replaced by a desperate need to use just to feel “normal.” Ultimately, the film underscores that drug addiction is not only a personal tragedy but a societal crisis—one that affects families, communities, and nations alike.

Dating to the 1960s (probably 1962), this film promotes "The Elektron", an advanced, fully automated type-setting machine designed to significantly improve speed and efficiency in the printing industry. The Elektron was a type of  Linotype, or a "line casting" machine , used in printing which is manufactured and sold by the former Mergenthaler Linotype Company and related companies. As the film shows, by utilizing continuous assembly through straight-line delivery, the Elektron eliminates the stop-and-go mechanics of traditional machines, allowing it to set 15 lines per minute compared to the 12 lines per minute of older models. Elektron's innovations include a hydraulic justification system, streamlined mat distribution, and reduced wear on components, all contributing to its long-lasting performance. The machine's design also features enhanced cam profiles, electromagnetic clutch systems, and pre-wired electrical components, making it easier to operate and maintain. Overall, the Elektron represents a major leap in hot metal line casting, providing faster, more efficient, and less maintenance-intensive production for the printing industry.00:00: Introduction to the Elektron machine, emphasizing its fully automated and fast type-setting abilities, with automation starting at the base.0:20: The machine uses perforated tape to deliver goods at 15 lines per minute, with a focus on minimizing time and motion to improve efficiency.1:00: The Electron utilizes continuous assembly through straight-line delivery, removing stop-and-go mechanics.

Salty yellow hot fries fresh from the fryer spill the counter. Fresh tomato slices, lettuce shreds and caramelized onions tumble a condiment confetti atop beef patties and soft seeded buns. This commercial compilation peels back the bun on McDonalds’ 1970’s advertisement campaign. Get ready for a salt and savory eye ball and taste bud ooze-fest. Cheeseburger stacks and hot yellow cut fries melt the screen for your viewing pleasure. Advertisements exhibit themes of friendship, nostalgic youth, hot fudge and cherry red sundaes, Egg McMuffin’s and the iconic egg shaped hash brown. McDonald’s has a history of mastery in their advertisement campaigns. Their symbolism is immaculate; primary shades of red evoke feelings of hunger and those bright yellow arches; logged eternally in the American mind can be seen miles wide over the highway or any main drag. In 1970, the marketing team for McDonald's was projecting a specifically it’s all about ‘You’ era. The motto was “You’re the One” and it came with a sweet tuned jingle and plastic bags with primary reds, yellows and “we do it all for you’s” around the handle. Goals were to project sentiments of home, friendship and nostalgic memories of youth as seen in the tin can call between neighbors at (1:33). The decade saw much expansion for the company. McDonalds installed stores in several countries including Costa Rica, Tokyo and Australia. This compilation captures the release of the Townhouse and the iconic hash-brown.

Released in 1924 as "The Hollywood Kid" and then truncated, retitled and released in 1961 as a "Comedy Caper" as "Going Hollywood!", this comedy short stars Charlie Murray and Louise Carver, with Jackie Lucas as "the Hollywood kid". The film's plot centers around a producer's troubles in selecting and "making" a new kid star. The film begins with a husband and wife (Murray and Carver) in their modest home; Murray is washing clothes while his wife works nearby. Some Little Rascals type kids outside are goofing around, launching potatoes using a slingshot. When one of the potatoes hits Murray on the noggin, he resorts to giving the kids a lecture and a spanking. Later they get revenge by siking a pack of dogs on the hapless Murray. At 3:17, an aerial shot of the Mack Sennett Studios changes up the plot -- a producer named Max Katz is seen reading a letter addressed to a Mr. Claude Climax. The letter is from Sennett himself, asking Climax to sign a child for a starring role in a new movie. Another producer becomes aware of Katz's mission and decides to try to sign the kid first. At 4:00 Katz is seen on the phone at the Gold Brick Film Co. while his rival is on the phone in the lobby. The race to sign the kid is on -- with Katz and his rival in different jalopy type race cars. After a ridiculous chase scene, Katz's rival shows up at Murray's house. Murray is busy spanking the hapless child, when Katz shows up and both he and his rival attempt to sign "the kid". Katz succeeds in his mission and at 6:00 the kid is now a star!  He is shown on the set of a silent movie, surrounded by beautiful women, a director (played by Vernon Dent) and cameraman (Jack Cooper).  The rest of the plot is a bit of a muddle. At 11:06, further mayhem ensues on the set as a wind machin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ac07afb2-f9d8-4312-9969-676b3804abe1/d803ad44-f115-47ef-8d4d-1cd37d9c9dbf-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nf6socbAPc5C8QFS2NxhCz</video:player_loc><video:duration>823</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T10:02:28.610Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ndCoNtZefBeUHEGze4SWPa</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/08220f29-2f70-4907-b3f1-41c7e3bcd5e9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"BREAKDOWNS OF 1937" CLASSIC ERA WARNER BROTHERS STUDIOS BLOOPER REEL  GG50095b</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Made by United States Steel, "The Joker" is a safety film featuring actor Hans Conried. The film has Conried playing the part of the gremlin-like "Joker", a menace who causes accidents at a steel plant by distracting workers into being lax with safety procedures to results ranging from bad to worse.
The film attempts to illustrate the importance of safety practices and discusses various hazards like machinery operation, material handling, and the consequences of neglecting safety protocols.
Here, the "Joker" represents the dangers and accidents waiting to happen if safety measures are ignored. This character is depicted as insidiously causing accidents through distraction, poor practices, and negligence. The narrative includes details on the aftermath of accidents, like lost time, medical issues, and financial implications, to emphasize the real cost of safety oversight.
Overall, the film serves as a cautionary tale or educational piece aimed at promoting safety consciousness by dramatizing the potential for accidents in an industrial setting, using the 'Joker' as a symbol for the ever-lurking dangers. (Hans Georg Conried Jr. was known for providing the voices of George Darling and Captain Hook in Walt Disney's Peter Pan, Snidely Whiplash in Jay Ward's Dudley Do-Right cartoons, Professor Waldo P. Wigglesworth in Ward's Hoppity Hooper cartoons, was host of Ward's live-action "Fractured Flickers" show and Professor Kropotkin on the radio and film versions of My Friend Irma.)

Produced by Simmel-Meservey and with a story by Jackson Winter, THE MYSTERY OF EASTER ISLAND is an obscure documentary look at the stone statues that populate Easter Island. It likely dates to the late 1940s or early 1950s. The film does not present any answers to the questions it raises, and has many false assumptions that have been disproven by modern research. Still, it is an interesting look at the island in the mid-20th century. The Compania Explotadora de las Isla de Pascua, the Chilean company that administrates the Island, is mentioned in a prologue. The film takes a look at the barren landscape of Rapa Nui and its iconic statues. At 2:30, the native village of Hanga Roa is shown. At 3:00, the annual visit of a supply boat from Chile is seen. The boat services a sheep farm on the island. At 4:30, an extinct volcano is shown where the quarries for the statues are seen. At 4:50, tourists visit some of the 485 statues found on the island. At 6:30, a statue is seen in the quarry, including at 6:40 a gigantic 66 foot statue. At 7:00, tools for making the statues are seen. At 7:20, a BBQ is conducted for visiting tourists. At 8:00, remains of ahu are seen on the island, where they have fallen. At 11:15, the question of how the "monsters" were moved is raised, given that there were no draft animals available and no trees on the island. Easter Island (Rapa Nui: Rapa Nui, Spanish: Isla de Pascua) is a Chilean island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle in Oceania. 

Easter Island is famous for its 887 extant monumental statues, called moai, created by the early Rapa Nui people. In 1995, UNESCO named Easter Island a World Heri...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c2147240-4313-4b83-8178-40dc2c9b1e31/1489bf85-433a-48fa-b50d-bcf062cfefbb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pY1Z2TNedfCGUQx8LJRGJ6</video:player_loc><video:duration>764</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T10:08:21.821Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6tT7uGnqsHDmqpw5nNWJdH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b6a8f66b-1aae-4f47-ba6d-f69ac4cbe14d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HOLLYWOOD STARS &amp; QUEEN ELIZABETH II DEDICATE THE CITY OF HOPE LEE PEDIATRIC CENTER   GG48235</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

For more information about printing machine history check out the documentary by Doug Wilson! https://linotypefilm.com/

This film, "Monophoto Film Setting Machine" dates to 1957, and promotes the Monophoto Filmsetter a printing machine made by Monotype Corporation Limited. The first unit was installed in the United States in 1957.  The Monophoto was a phototypesetting machine used for setting type in a photomechanical process. It was developed by Monotype and used for creating images of text on film, which could then be used for printing. This machine attempted to bridge the gap in typesetting from the hot metal Linotype machines to the “new and exciting” world of photo typesetting.0:34 This film explains the "why and how" of photoprinting, specifically using the Monophoto Film Setter by Monotype Corporation Limited. 1:14 The process begins with a keyboard operator transferring copy to a paper ribbon, a technique identical to hot metal composition. 2:29 The perforated spool is then fed into the Monophoto Film Setter, which transforms the text into photographic film with characters in the exact size and justified lines. 3:30 The film delves into the machine's internal workings, explaining the light source, condenser lens, film matrix case, optical wedge, and reflecting prisms that fold the light beam. 5:49 Traveling mirrors position successive characters on the film drum, and the process of changing film matrix cases and individual characters is shown, highlighting the film setter's flexibility. 10:06 The film then explains the precise mechanical systems, like the unit rack and justification racks, that control the mirror bar's movement for accurate character and space placement. 12:35 It covers how the machine han...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/48637910-6ecf-403b-8ffc-75cdaa288cfc/3a044b18-93ab-4ea6-8760-5f352ef122ab-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9WshE4fTRVuhQgfYabC95m</video:player_loc><video:duration>1375</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T10:28:24.675Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/i8YNSSU2X8Uat49HYR72Vs</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ec2a93e4-43b2-4914-a366-eb695c4af460.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS ” 1960 AMALGAMATED MEAT CUTTERS AND BUTCHER WORKMEN UNION PROMO  GG46805</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to 1937, "Spot News" is a Jam Handy production about the crucial role of speed in the newspaper industry and how new technology, specifically the "Wired Photo" or "Wire Photo," revolutionized news gathering.

0:00 Main titles. The film opens in a bustling newspaper office, highlighting the relentless pursuit of "speed" in news gathering. An editor dispatches a photographer to capture a daring stunt: an airplane taking off from a car. The editor emphasizes the need for a "wire photo" to meet the deadline, given the distant location.1:11 The core principle of newspaper operations is stressed: "Speed, speed, speed" – getting the story, getting it to the paper, and getting the paper on the street quickly.2:21 The film introduces "Wired Photo" as the "latest miracle of news gathering," revolutionizing newspaper history by allowing pictures to travel across the continent almost as fast as a telephone call.2:51 A demonstration shows how a mobile unit transmits pictures of the stunt car and airplane using Wired Photo technology.3:21 The technique of sending pictures by wire is explained: the picture is separated into fine lines, transmitted electrically over a wire, and then reassembled at the receiving end, akin to unwinding and rewinding a picture made of string.4:11 The process involves "scanning," where a light focuses on the picture, and as a drum revolves, the light scans the image line by line, translating varying tonal values (dark to light gray) into electrical units.4:56 The sending machine's internal workings are detailed: light reflected from the picture passes through an aperture into a photoelectric cell. White areas reflect more light, generating more electric current, while dark areas reflect less, gen...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ec57dbad-eb96-4d45-813d-321a953a3ad2/727ad263-1859-4ec0-b2ee-a7822d4c45c3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vbHdrh3GYegNTyhZCEutuN</video:player_loc><video:duration>559</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T10:38:15.230Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/d5wTxFnddWwymxCP7zcmHM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/578f1566-9ccb-4aed-b338-6720e494784d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE MOST IMPORTANT CONNECTION "  1950 CHEVROLET BIG RIG TRUCK PROMO FILM   TRUCK DRIVERS  XD41685z</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to 1950, "The Most Important Connection" is a film produced by the Jam Handy Organization for Chevrolet. This thinly veiled Chevy truck sales film uses the premise of a group of men "talking trucks" to sell Chevy's reliability and quality. The film opens in a diner where customers are ordering breakfast, and there's a mention of avoiding "truck talk" with the waiter Danny, whose mom runs the diner. Danny's mother insists that there be no more discussions about trucks with him. The conversation shifts to how truck driving has improved over time, making it safer and more respected. Wally and other truck drivers give Danny advice about the challenges and realities of truck driving. They explain the importance of safe driving practices, maintaining legal speed limits, and the relationship between speed, pulling power, and gas consumption. They discuss efficient driving techniques, avoiding engine lugging, and using modern truck features like two-speed axles. The drivers emphasize maintaining momentum, avoiding unnecessary shifting, and proper driving habits like idling at red lights. They highlight the importance of checking equipment before each run and taking pride in being a good driver. The film concludes with advice to Danny on the most important connection in any truck being between the steering wheel and the seat, reinforcing the significance of the driver's role.

"Making Sure at the Monotype Works" (1955?) presents an in-depth look at the complex, precise, and highly skilled manufacturing process of creating matrices and molds for Monotype machines.

    0:00 Main titles.  Celebrating the power of "words in print" and the importance of typeface design in attracting readers. Over 500 type designs have been created for Monotype machines to meet global demand.
    1:43  Production process, describing the skills and precision required to create a typeface.
    2:21   The process begins with projecting the original typeface design onto a screen, enlarging it so a draftsman can hand-draw the character's outline.
    2:50   This method is also used to reproduce ancient type designs from old fonts or books by projecting the image onto a screen for copying.
    4:15   The drawing is then perfected in the "type drawing office" to ensure it accurately reproduces the original design.
    5:05   The perfected drawing is then used in the "wax pattern cutting department." A pantograph traces the drawing, reducing its size to cut a pattern in a special wax sheet. The narrator emphasizes the importance of the wax's blend and the temperature-controlled environment for a clean cut.
    6:45   After the outline is cut, surplus wax is carefully removed by hand.
    7:09   The wax pattern is taken to the plating department, where it is coated with a thin film of silver nitrate to make it conductive. It is then placed in an electrolytic plating tank for a "solid pattern" to be made from a copper shell.
    8:45   The copper shell is filled with a lead alloy to make a solid punch for later use.
    9:32   The lead-filled punch is then milled to precise dimensions.

Dating to 1953 and starring Dinah Shore, "A Great New Star" was made by Jam Handy productions for Chevrolet, to promote the new 1953 Chevy. This sophisticated short uses Shore as both a narrator, and for her considerable vocal talents, and uses the premise of making a commercial about the new Chevy to entertain the audience. The film starts with Day on a soundstage, prompted by a film director and cameraman. She  begins to sing "It's a Most Unusual Day".  After the song concludes, Shore narrates a transition to the introduction of a "new performer" and "new star" -- which turns out to be the new 1953 Chevrolet. Shore expresses admiration for the car's detailed design, both exterior and interior, emphasizing its beauty, comfort, and innovative features. A car salesman is then shown speaking to customers and giving a full sales pitch; but then it is revealed that he and the customers are actors on the same soundstage as Shore, and even the background shown is fake -- the result of process photography. This clever trick helps further the narrative. The film provides a detailed description of the car's high-compression Blue Flame engine, highlighting its performance and economy benefits, as well as the new Powerglide transmission. The conclusion, with Shore accompanying singing the famous "Chevrolet song", underscores the overall features and benefits of the 1953 Chevrolet, while showcasing the available models. (Note: at the time this film was made, Shore she starred in a twice-weekly 15-minute musical interlude for Chevrolet on NBC-TV.)00:00: Intro. 0:37-2:38: On a Hollywood soundstage, a director, soundman and a cameraman are shown ready to film Dinah Shore.

This film "The Erie Canal" (1980) was written by Jim Whitefield, narrated by Bill Kuhlke and released by Phoenix Films. It traces the history and development of the canal from its origin and opening in 1825 to the modern era.The Erie Canal, completed in 1825, was a 363-mile waterway that connected the Hudson River to Lake Erie, linking the Atlantic Ocean with the Great Lakes. Considered an engineering marvel of its time, the canal was largely built by hand and featured 83 locks and 18 aqueducts to overcome elevation changes and natural obstacles. Though initially mocked as "Clinton’s Folly," it proved to be a major economic success by dramatically reducing shipping time and costs. It stimulated the growth of towns along its route, helped make New York City a leading seaport, and sparked a nationwide canal-building boom. While most other canals failed, the Erie Canal remained profitable for decades, later becoming part of the New York State Barge Canal system. Today, portions of it are preserved for recreation and tourism, and it is celebrated as a symbol of American innovation and expansion.

Dating to 1962, "The Constant Search" was produced by the Columbia Gas System as a public relations film. It chronicles the development of the world's first aircraft jet gas turbine for stationary power, highlighting a collaborative effort by three American companies. Groundbreaking ceremonies took place in Possum Trot, Kentucky, for a unit designed to improve natural gas transmission. The Columbia Gas system, the nation's largest natural gas utility, spearheaded the initiative to enhance service efficiency. The Cooper Bessemer Corporation sought to revolutionize gas turbines, while Pratt and Whitney provided the J57 aircraft engine as a solution. Engineers adapted the engine for industrial use, converting it to burn natural gas. Following successful prototype testing, the new turbine demonstrated significant advantages in weight, cost, and maintenance over existing turbines. The Clemville station became a model for future power applications, with industries closely monitoring its performance.

This issue of the "Screen News Digest", Volume 7, #3, is titled: "America -- The Melting Pot". This film traces the story of immigration to the United States, beginning with arrivals at Ellis Island, where hopeful newcomers took their first steps toward American citizenship. Immigrants from all races, nations, and walks of life came seeking opportunity and freedom, forming the largest human migration in history. Though they often arrived with little more than dreams, they contributed greatly to building the nation's economy and culture—working hard, learning English, and forming tight-knit ethnic communities in cities and rural areas alike. Life was difficult, especially in crowded tenements, but immigrants persevered, driven by hope for a better future for their children. Over time, they advanced socially and economically, taking jobs in factories, civil service, and education, while their children grew up to become professionals, civic leaders, and entrepreneurs. Immigrants also played a major role in shaping American agriculture and industry, helping to forge a diverse and democratic society. Celebrated figures like Andrew Carnegie, Albert Einstein, and Enrico Caruso exemplify the enormous contributions of immigrants to American life. The film concludes by emphasizing the ongoing nature of the immigrant story and America’s enduring role as a beacon of hope and opportunity for people around the world.

This mid-1970s film "Access" was produced and directed by John Nutt. It delivers a lesson on computers, software and networks for the uninitiated. At the time it was made, computerized information systems were beginning to solve  the perceived issue of overabundance of information. Some of the computer software programs explored in the film is Lockheed’s DIALOG information retrieval system, the “SPIRES II” system at Stanford and the “LEADER” system at Lehigh University among others. The social impact of these programs is explored as well as other examples of computer equipment and terminals.An example is provided about how a doctor might have to search through thousands of medical documents (:51). An array of tools appear in montage (1:40).  Originally computers were created for computation beginning with the “father” of the modern computer; Charles Babbage.  A haystack appears as the ‘needle in the hay stack’ is used to compare the issue of finding information (1:56). A Durr Crane makes the job easy (2:05) similarly as to how a computer might. The camera moves down a row of books in the San Mateo County California library (2:38). The DIALOG system is put to use at the Office of Education (2:44). A researcher plops at a desk with a desktop terminal and rotary telephone (2:51). DIALOG; developed by Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratory in 1966, was offered commercially in 1972. Images of the Earth’s surface appear in microfiche form (3:39) retrieved from a NASA satellite. These are researched using a microfiche film viewer (3:47).

Produced by Sikorsky Aircraft for Amtrak in 1971, "Tour of the Turbo" follows the debut trip of the brand new Turbotrain. This film was photographed by Bob Murray and Bob Grasso, with a script by Paul Burton, narrated by Matthew Warren, and features a song by the Sugar Bears. The Turbotrain was a concept tilting train that was developed on aerodynamic principles and powered by aircraft-type gas turbine engines that would allow it to achieve high speeds.  The trains, which featured articulated cars and cabs on either end of the train, operated in Canada between 1968 and 1982 and in the USA between 1968 and 1976. The TurboTrain concept wasn't a complete failure, but it wasn't an enormous success either. The rise in oil prices during the 1973 oil embargo made the gas turbine expensive to operate, and the trains were complex and needed a great deal of maintenance. Notably, the trains also did not operate at anywhere near their anticipated speeds, were noisy and not altogether comfortable for passengers.  Amtrak disposed of the trains in 1980, and Canada ceased operations in 1982. All of the existing units were scrapped.

00:00: Over 100 years ago, the train arrived, solving transportation problems. 1:11: 100 years later, a new transportation problem arises. 2:40: In 1971, the Turbo Train is introduced, resembling a wingless airplane, offering comfortable amenities.3:12: The Turbo Train tour is sponsored by the US Department of Transportation, Amtrak, and Sikorsky Aircraft. 4:02: The tour aims to gather passenger feedback on the Turbo Train. Passengers express positive experiences. Public interest in the Turbo Train is high, with large crowds gathering at stops. The tour begins in Providence, RI.  The train is used as part of regular Amtrak service to gain feedb...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9265d7db-c9cc-442c-a11a-22e93679e17a/3f011e45-d409-455b-a87c-794d78eba8b8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/j5vP6eUydaHbpqcPuiT8Y7</video:player_loc><video:duration>1175</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T11:34:13.380Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kRRY7NaP3i8j84uuCWyhvT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2ae48d57-ea9d-4337-922a-5c5327447ae1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"MODULES MAKE SENSE"  1970s MONOTYPE COMPUTERIZED TYPESETTING SYSTEMS   PRINTING TECHNOLOGY WD10015</video:title><video:description>For more information about Monotype history check out the documentary by Doug Wilson! https://linotypefilm.com/

"The Story of a Crayfish"  is a 1951 educational film that was produced by Viking Films. This documentary-style segment explores the life cycle of crayfish, focusing on the harsh realities hidden beneath the beauty of spring. While nature appears abundant and flourishing, the journey from birth to adulthood is perilous. Crayfish hatch vulnerable and defenseless, becoming easy prey for predators. As they grow, they must repeatedly shed their protective exoskeletons—a risky and often fatal process. Those that survive face continual threats, including predators and environmental hazards. Eventually, they reach adulthood and seek to reproduce, but even this instinct-driven quest involves danger, such as disorienting journeys over land. The film highlights the constant struggle for survival in the natural world, where life and death are closely intertwined.

Dating to 1928, "The Lost City of Inca Land" shows stunning views of Macchu Picchu and the Andes. The movie was released by Traveltone Pictures, Inc. and filmed by Emma-Lindsay Squier and John Scott Douglas, with titles by Bransby.  (Squier was an American author, journalist, and screenwriter known for her nature and travel writing, particularly her work on Mexican and Native American folklore;  John Scott Douglas was also the author of The Story of the numerous books and was awarded the California Writers Guild Honor Award.)  At 3:05, Squier is shown ascending steps of the site; Douglas appears at 4:00 cooking over an open fire. At 8:40 are views of the "Temple of the Sun". 

Machu Picchu is an Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains in Peru, above the Urubamba River valley. Built in the 15th century and later abandoned, it’s renowned for its sophisticated dry-stone walls that fuse huge blocks without the use of mortar, intriguing buildings that play on astronomical alignments and panoramic views. Although this film identifies the site as a "fortress", its exact former use remains a mystery.

This compilation of vintage television commercials supplies a sizeable chunk of product marketing evolution from the mid 1970’s slipping into TV screen waves of the era; what consumers were concerned about and what marketing companies were targeting. It’s a meaty dog food and chicken wing time slide fit to send any 1970’s babies to the shag rug carpeted floors of their youth. Slogans and jingles of popular commercials slop to our minds reverberating subconsciously into the very fabric of our culture and society. Whether it be health or recreation, corporations play a major role in daily life. Kellogg and Hoover are household names. Signs and colors of trade mark companies resonate feelings of the American home. Hoover for example; perfected and established such phenomenal advertising tactics their name became synonymous with their product. Everyone knows a Hoover is a vacuum and the red logo is logged permanently in mental membranes. Through comparison with the modern television rotation we can see which brands made it out of the 1970’s and which went defunct  such as Kal Kan Dog Food; swallowed up by Pedigree). Celebrities make cameos; Jack Nicklaus, OJ Simpson, Charlton Heston, Frank Perdue and the ever popular Aunt Bluebell (Mae Questel) for Scotts Towel. Viewers see fashion of the era; happy ladies wear Kiana Tunics.

This fascinating IBM corporate guidance film, "A Matter of Balance",  was made by Henry Strauss Productions and likely dates to the mid-1960s. It was intended to be shown to IBM salesmen and customer relations personnel who were in direct contact with customers, and who might face ethical dilemmas as a result. The film shows three scenarios where customers attempt to put IBM employees in an awkward position, where they might either disappoint the customer or cross an ethical boundary. The film works to educate viewers about IBM's values, underscoring their importance in a competitive, corporate environment where ethical considerations can sometimes be overlooked in the race for success. Here, ethical business practices, decision making, leadership, interaction with customers, and IBM's corporate culture of honesty, service, and ethical conduct is reiterated. The scenarios are compared to a child walking on top of a rail fence, who must keep his balance or fall. They serve as teachable moments or cautionary tales about how not to do business at IBM.   The film was photographed by Julian Townsend and directed by Robert Wilmot.

"The Story of Television" features David Sarnoff, longtime president of RCA, as he presents a look back at historic firsts in the history of television. The film switches to color as Sarnoff demonstrates what it will be like when a color TV will be in every home.0:00 Television as a defining technology of the 20th century. 0:55 RCA is highlighted 1:51 RCA's David Sarnoff and Dr. Vladimir Zworykin, pioneers of television, reflect on their work. Sarnoff recalls Zworykin's initial, much-underestimated cost estimate for an all-electronic television system: $100,000, it ultimately cost over $50 million. 3:43 Zworykin shows Sarnoff the first "television eye," the pickup tube he invented. 4:05 Zworykin introduces a new, miniature medical pickup tube, hoping it will make color television more accessible. 5:01 Zworykin's 1923 invention of the Iconoscope, which evolved into the Image Orthicon 5:20 In 1929, Zworykin announced the Kinescope 5:35 The all-electronic television process: a camera's lens focuses light onto a mosaic, converting it to electrical impulses. An electron beam scans this image, with the signal being amplified and sent to a transmitter. These impulses are broadcast as radio waves. 7:12 The Kinescope reverses this process at the receiving end, using synchronized electron beams to reconstruct the picture on a screen. 7:39 In 1931, NBC (an RCA service) set up an experimental tv antenna on the Empire State Building. 8:24 By 1937, television expanded with RCA and NBC's mobile vans, connecting the world via microwaves. 9:04 Television made its public debut at the 1939 New York World's Fair. 9:39 NBC televised President Franklin D.

Dating to 1946 and produced by Wilding, "The Shortest Way Home" is a promotional film for Greyhound bus lines starring Richard Fraser, Beatrice Gray, Emmett Hogan, Bruce Kellog, Joel Allen, Bill Murphy and Lee Slater. The film's story focuses on Wylie, a WWII veteran who embarks on a journey from Minnesota across the post-war United States. Wy is struggling with readjusting to civilian life, feeling out of place and missing his wartime comrades. He decides to travel to visit his old crew members from the war. Throughout his journey, Wy explores various regions of the U.S., each with its unique cultural, historical, and natural landmarks: There is also a romantic subplot involving Wy's search for Connie, his fast-talking wartime nurse. The film combines elements of a travel narrative with personal growth, set against the backdrop of post-war America, where bus travel became a way to explore both the country and one's identity after significant life changes. (Richard Fraser was a Scottish film, television, and stage actor. He is perhaps best known for his role in the 1945 film The Picture of Dorian Gray. Beatrice Gray was an American actress and dancer best known for her appearances in a series of western films during the 1940s and 1950s. )

These silent home movies show rare footage of the Lockheed U-2 Dragon Lady operating at Edwards Air Force Base in California. They are believed to date to 1972 and show tests of the camera system known as "Trixie", takeoffs and landings (including drag parachute assisted landings). The Lockheed U-2, nicknamed "Dragon Lady", is an American single-jet engine, high altitude reconnaissance aircraft operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) and previously flown by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It provides day and night, high-altitude (70,000 feet, 21,300 meters), all-weather intelligence gathering. Lockheed Corporation originally proposed it in 1953, it was approved in 1954, and its first test flight was in 1955. It was flown during the Cold War over the Soviet Union, China, Vietnam, and Cuba. In 1960, Gary Powers was shot down in a CIA U-2A over the Soviet Union by a surface-to-air missile (SAM). Major Rudolf Anderson Jr. was shot down in a U-2 during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.U-2s have taken part in post-Cold War conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and supported several multinational NATO operations. The U-2 has also been used for electronic sensor research, satellite calibration, scientific research, and communications purposes. The U-2 is one of a handful of aircraft types to have served the USAF for over 50 years, along with the Boeing B-52 and Boeing KC-135. The newest models (TR-1, U-2R, U-2S) entered service in the 1980s, and the latest model, the U-2S, had a technical upgrade in 2012.

Dating to 1969 "Police and the Community / Respect for Each Other" was produced by Dibie-Dash with the cooperation of major law enforcement agencies in Northern California, including the Berkeley P.D.  The film functions as a recruiting tool, showing opportunities in law enforcement, while it also investigates several key areas of conflict between the police and minority communities. The film discusses differing views on law enforcement's objectives, emphasizing that officers should represent the law, not embody it. Minority recruitment in law enforcement is encouraged to reduce tensions and offer career opportunities in various roles, with a focus on modern techniques and community relations. (Note: Dibie-Dash was co-founded by George Spiro Dibie, an award-winning Palestinian-American cinematographer.)

Dating to 1958 and originally "restricted" to showing to law enforcement officers, "Hot Car" was produced by a company called Police Science. Shot in Los Angeles, the film discusses the complexities of combating grand theft auto and the challenges faced by law enforcement officers in detecting and addressing car theft. It highlights the motivations behind auto theft, ranging from joyrides by juveniles to organized professional operations that alter stolen cars' identities. Officers rely on tools such as "hot sheets" to track stolen vehicles and must be vigilant for signs like altered plates, nervous drivers, and forced entry. The film details the procedures officers follow when approaching suspicious vehicles, including verifying the driver's information and inspecting the car for inconsistencies. It also emphasizes the importance of officers' familiarity with the tools and techniques used by thieves, as well as their ability to recognize even minute details to effectively recover stolen vehicles and apprehend suspects. The film underscores the ongoing, intricate nature of combating auto theft and the need for thorough, skilled enforcement.

Here is a home movie dating to 1937. It was shot by an unknown amateur filmmaker. The film offers a glimpse at the life of an American family in this era, and features a young family with two young girls. It starts with a toddler’s ruddy pink cheeks under an easter egg white hat opens scene (:10); pink tulips sing up behind. A cocker spaniel licks at fuzzy toddler feet (:14). She blinks and kicks picks at grass on the mat (:24). Mother arrives in a long jacket; stark burgundy contrasts against light tones of the baby’s suit (:42). The dog noses into the shot (:54) for a belly rub and everyone grins (1:11). Father slouches against the home's wooden siding (1:55), throws a tobacco butt (1:55) and grips a club for croquet. He swings the club and the toddler stretches for the knobby ball (2:36). Two women huddle over the toddler (2:59) with croquet ball still captive. The view runs inside (3:43). Long shots watch as the girl pulls all the clothes out (3:43). Wobbly knees in a pink wobbly dress, she plays with a box in the doorway (4:06). Close shots capture a cherub face (4:29).

This 1960s home movie, entitled "Our Summer Vacation", was shot by an unknown American family.  It unwinds dreams of the American countryside; long drives through the Oregon Cascades Mountain ranges and family vacations. It sends viewers deep into Deschutes County, Oregon for a dip in clear lakes; Elk, Lava and Devil. The Pacific NW’s varied landscape slopes over rolling neon greens, jagged rock formations of Three Sisters, the Cascades, Cathedral Rock and long country roads with names stuck like Yellow Elk Lane. The opening portion features the family fishing Oregon’s lakes and milling the Deschutes National Forest and campgrounds. Later sections tour Picture Rock petroglyphs, Pelton Hydroelectric Project water dam, Cove Palisades State Park and the Painted Hills.

00:00 “Filming America” (:09) opens on snow topped Cascades cut up through evergreens and Douglas firs (:17). A resort home follows (:41). A lone boater wades through lake waters (:52). ‘Cascade vista’ (1:08) appears superimposed over a faded sherbet shaded rainbow. Yellow Elk Lane runs for mountain ridges (1:49). Small pastel pleasure boats (2:02) bump against Elk Lake’s rocky shoreline (2:02) rimmed by the Three Sisters. An older man of the group splashes feet into waters (2:24); he yells and kicks and washes his ankles (2:29). Luxury resort stone homes follow (3:00). Vacationers mingle on the sand (3:07) in a view from the water. Sunshine kicks off the boat (3:17) and a van sits on the dock in a view from the shoreline. The troupe tours Lava lake (4:08). Two pale blue lined white boats and their drivers sit between mountains and wild grasses (4:24). The Forest Service insignia appears stamped on the sign for Devil’s Lake (4:59). ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/44a42c9f-31b7-41f4-9e36-88fbc1abb4a6/01f8042e-a0ae-40c0-8e92-b1c9e4f0c7da-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9tBEWkh178tPcgDk3C58b7</video:player_loc><video:duration>2398</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T12:23:19.982Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tsmX3EmwrbSNEpBTLRdgpj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8810d37e-bb60-4d43-9ea7-d8bf9a61daba.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"MEN MAKE THE NAVY"  1942 U.S. NAVY   WWII RECRUITING FILM  21742</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Created in 1942, this wonderful propaganda and recruiting film explains that "men make the Navy and the Navy makes men" and features Lowell Thomas narrating.  Probably made before Pearl Harbor or adapted shortly after the Japanese attack on December 7th, the film features a brief segment at the end identifying Adolph Hitler and Japan as American adversaries.  Some of the material includes: fleet maneuvers involving battleships, cruisers, destroyers and aircraft carriers, PT boats including PT-9, the destroyer USS Phelps (DD-360) launching a torpedo at sea, the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland and the Navy base at Groton, Connecticut. The film highlights the Navy’s global mission, excellent living conditions, physical and technical training across 49 trades, and opportunities for advancement—including becoming a petty officer, pilot, or even a Naval Academy officer. It assures that enlistment requirements are reasonable and that those with civilian trade skills can advance quickly. Ultimately, the message frames joining the Navy not only as a duty to the nation but also as a chance to build a strong, successful future as part of a proud, heroic tradition.

This International Silver Company promotional film "Design for Beauty" (1951) was written by Ralph Schoolman, shot by Roy E Long,  directed by Lee Bobker, and produced by Vision Associates. The film promotes fine silver, and explores the rich heritage and significance of that metal, tracing its journey from ancient Greece and the Roman Empire to its development into "Sterling" silver in 13th century England. It highlights the contributions of master silversmiths of the Renaissance and the evolution of silver flatware in the 17th and 18th centuries, proudly displayed in Georgian households and later enriched by colonial silversmiths in America. The process of forging and polishing silver to reveal its inherent beauty is detailed, along with the role of American industry in producing exquisite silver designs. Artists focus on weight distribution, size, and shape to create models with precision, ensuring perfect duplication in manufacturing. Silver designs are showcased in international competitions and exhibitions, leaving a lasting impact on future trends. The narration emphasizes the personal and timeless appeal of silver flatware, often chosen by young brides, and the importance of selecting patterns that evoke different moods. Silver's beauty enhances daily living and formal occasions, blending tradition with contemporary elegance, and capturing nature's beauty in its play of light and patterns.

This silent film shows a tour of China and was likely shot in the early 1930s as a promotional film for a tourism company. Some title cards are marked "Wonders of the World" which might suggest it was also simply a commercial release of a travel record.Most of what you see in this film no longer exists. At :59 a "one wheel taxi" -- a wheelbarrow carried by a very strong Chinese man -- is shown. At 1:28 the houses of farmers are seen and at 1:38 a man poses with a child. At 1:47 a street scene in a rural area is shown. At 1:55 men pull rickshaws through the streets of Shanghai and at 2:00 men tow a cart loaded with lumber. At 2:20 metal poles are moved by a gang of men, their hands behind their backs. At 3:10 men tow a roller as a road is constructed. At 3:20 keelboats ply the river loaded with sacks of rice. At 4:00 a Chinese junk is seen on the water. At 4:20 a trip by rail to North China is shown. At 4:37 the train rides past what appears to be small boats. At 4:45 formal dining aboard the train is shown. At 4:51 the Tientsin East train station is shown. At 5:00 a large pagoda is shown near Tientsin. At 5:17 a card says "The Great Wall of China" and the film shows views of tourists being carried on sedan chairs to see the edifice. At 6:59 the tour by train continues to Peiping / Peking / Beijing, where camels are seen in the streets (7:10). At 8:48 children and women with bound feet are shown. At 9:11 the film progresses through the Chien Men Gate into the Tartar City, or inner city of the Beijing wall defenses.  At 9:35 the South Gate is shown and glimpses of the Imperial City and Temple of Heaven (10:40) and Altar of Heaven. At 11:27 a Chinese man is shown eating noodles and at 11:30 a bar...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3bf11f35-dc7b-4a93-b08f-d5f7a1e09890/70043b26-9bc1-4724-b55f-86787c992805-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8piVsiw98Daap3NqqfX29C</video:player_loc><video:duration>957</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T12:31:23.911Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/joRqvTPS6gHuyiHtHd7WK8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/10473cc9-247b-4083-9c4e-541fd4c35224.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" A TRIP TO THE SUN "  1960s GREYHOUND CORP.

Presented by Continental Trailways and produced by Sanders Film Productions, "Wyoming Wonderland" (mid-1950s) takes viewers on a bus trip to see scenic wonders. The film features Trailways Flxible VL-100 Vista-Liner buses. Introduced in 1954, The VistaLiner (VL) 100 was Flxible’s answer to General Motors then new PD 4501 “Scenicruiser”.  (The VistaLiner was also a “deck and a half” split-level design, with eight seats on the lower level, and thirty-one in the upper rear portion.) The film focuses especially on  Yellowstone National Park, which spans parts of Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. Continental Trailways originated in 1936 with coast-to-coast service as the National Trailways Bus System. Unlike the more dominant Greyhound Lines, NTBS was formed from smaller independent operators, and became an enduring competitor to Greyhound while remaining an association of almost 100 separate companies.

This film shows the exhibit known as OUR AMERICAN CROSSROADS in operation.  Originally created in 1955 for the General Motors Parade of Progress, this exhibit still exists and is maintained by GM. It was built by the H.B. Stubbs company and was on display at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry until 2001 when it was removed by GM.  The Our American Crossroads display is an animated diorama of American life. It depicts lifestyles before and after the introduction of the automobile and a futuristic look years down the road. Starting with (as the narrator says) "a sleepy, rural crossroad consisting of muddy roads, a rickety wooden bridge and a few scattered farm houses, you see a simple story of American growth and development unfold before your eyes. Beginning with the first appearance of a horseless carriage – this ever-changing diorama dramatically traces the impact of the automobile on the isolated community. The transformation from a muddy crossroad to a modern bustling community, vividly illustrates the important role played by the automobile in the rapid growth of America. We have progressed from a country of isolated rural communities and scattered cities – to an integrated land connected by a great network of roads and highways … and we have come this far in only sixty years. 

00:00 - 0:34: The film begins by describing modern cities as dynamic places where people are constantly moving. It highlights how crossroads serve as meeting points, reflecting the growth of urban areas due to increased personal mobility facilitated by automobiles.

0:34 - 1:00: The automobile is portrayed not just as a mode of transport but as a tool of communication, spreading knowledge and driving change....</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7ce153f4-1aaa-48db-89a4-3367516598cb/c52c293b-3b88-4ae4-8093-524529e16ed6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gqpn1Y55R2PJUDzW6zjSYk</video:player_loc><video:duration>815</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T12:52:19.685Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/u7EzJA3TdWsL2gARVmAtZ3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e9232958-956f-4b63-9369-77b6a84187b8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"20TH CENTURY BREAD MAKING"  BUETER BAKING CO.

This film "20th Century Bread Making" (1940s) contrasts traditional, primitive bread-making methods with the modern, large-scale, and highly scientific processes of a 20th-century American bakery. The film was made by Paul Hoefler Productions and promotes the Bueter Baking Co.(but at least one other version was also released to promote Langendorf Bakers). Story by David Arlen, narrated by Hal Gibney. (Note: T.H. Bueter Baking Company was based in Quincy, Illinois.)
 
    0:00 Main titles. The film opens by calling bread "the staff of life". The narrator announces a tour of bread-making techniques from around the world.
    1:18   The first stop is Ensenada Bay in Mexico, where a baker named Rositas makes tortillas. Her "bakery" is a backyard with a wood fire and a simple oven.
    2:30   The film then moves to a Zuni Indian village in New Mexico. The Zuni people are shown husking corn and grinding it into flour using two stones.
    4:11   A Zuni woman makes a "paper bread" from corn flour and water.
    4:36   Another Zuni squaw is shown kneading dough by hand. The bread is shaped and baked in a primitive oven, with the ashes raked out by a pine-branch broom.
    5:53   The film notes that while this bread is "dead white" and heavy, it is still a "vital necessity to life" for the Zuni.
    6:16   The film presents a "complete and amazing contrast" by taking the viewer to a great American baking plant that produces thousands of loaves daily.
    6:26   The process begins with flour being delivered by railcars and stored for up to three months to improve its quality. The flour is tested in a laboratory for quality and flavor before being blended and sifted through fine screens to ensure purity.
    7:41   The film det...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e3ae1f32-f046-4f4c-89e5-edf5010708a8/182b7497-a353-4e97-91b5-77fa23e31d76-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/u7EzJA3TdWsL2gARVmAtZ3</video:player_loc><video:duration>1321</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T12:55:30.535Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/m69XbaXco3W6yj22HHVHdq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f3c97737-a3b2-4465-ae8a-ba6819c40c95.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s BLACK FAMILY HOME MOVIE   ARIZONA TRIP   LIFE IN A SMALL TOWN    FAMILY SCENES     SM10875</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Shot in 1938, this amateur shot home movie shows a glimpse of life and culture in Mobile, Alabama, including the city’s "Azalea Trail", an expansive network of azalea lined streets and public gardens spanning the city, and the annual Mardi Gras parade. While Mardi Gras is commonly attributed to New Orleans, Frenchman Nicholas Langlois began the tradition in Mobile in 1703 -- making this the city's 107th Mardi Gras parade. The parades feature elaborate floats, costumed guests, marching bands and traditions of throwing beads, moon pies and doubloons into the crowd. It grew into a significant cultural event and source of community identity for Mobile. The filmmaker captures the beauty of Mobile’s landscape and architecture comprised of colonial revival style. It portrays the style of the 1930’s as locals dress up in hand made costumes for the event. 

(0:00) Azalea pink and red blossoms dot leaves of Mobile’s famed Azalea Trail. Mobile’s Junior Chamber of Commerce began the project in 1929. Azaleas litter the ground (:16), accent a bridge (:20) and spot rocky terrain (:28). A young boy smiles next to flowers (1:06). Profile shots capture an older woman’s short smile amidst a wall of azaleas (1:44). Large red clusters contrast white art deco buildings in the rear (2:20). Footage sweeps colonial revival style residences (2:35) accented by azaleas. A pair of women (2:44) and a child in white pose (5:21). Murphy’s High School off S.

Sponsored by United States Steel, this film examines a major deck replacement project on the  George Washington Bridge undertaken by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 1977-78. The bridge is described as the world's most heavily traveled bridge, and opened in 1931, with over 1.6 billion vehicles having crossed it through 1977. It documents a $37 million project necessitated by wear, and to accommodate the significant traffic volume. The replacement process involved a lot of innovation, with new orthotropic steel panels and segmented construction employed to maintain traffic flow. Significant coordination was required between day and night work routines to minimize disruption; in the end the bridge remained functional for both local commuters and the broader metropolitan area.

This documentary "El Hajj Malik El Shabazz" (1978) traces the life and legacy of Malcolm X, highlighting his transformation from a troubled youth involved in crime to a powerful and uncompromising voice for Black empowerment and self-determination. Born Malcolm Little, he endured a traumatic childhood before turning to crime and being imprisoned. In prison, he discovered the teachings of Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam. Emerging as Malcolm X, he became a dynamic orator and leader, advocating for Black nationalism and self-defense in the face of systemic oppression. His radical stance often contrasted with the nonviolent approach of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.. As Malcolm's fame grew, so did tensions within the Nation of Islam.

This is part 2 of the documentary "El Hajj Malik El Shabazz" (1978). This portion traces the final years of Malcolm X, highlighting his ideological evolution, global influence, and the threats he faced leading up to his assassination. After traveling to Africa and Mecca, Malcolm embraced a broader human rights agenda, seeing the struggles of African Americans as part of a global fight against oppression. Following his break from the Nation of Islam, Malcolm was increasingly targeted, receiving threats and surviving a bombing before ultimately being assassinated in 1965. There remain unanswered questions surrounding his death, including possible involvement by the CIA and failures in police protection. Malcolm was mourned as a powerful symbol of Black pride, self-determination, and fearless advocacy for justice.

This "soundie" (essentially a 1940s music video) features Cab Calloway performing "Minnie the Moocher". This was Calloway's 1931 jazz hit, characterized by his signature scat singing ("hi-de-hi-de-ho"), theatrical dancing, and high-energy band performance. It's not clear exactly when this version was filmed, as there is no copyright date shown, but it likely is from the mid-to-late 1940s.

"Minnie the Moocher" is a jazz song co-written by Cab Calloway and first recorded in 1931 by Calloway and his big band orchestra, selling over a million copies. "Minnie the Moocher" is famous for its nonsensical ad libbed lyrics, also known as scat singing (for example, its refrain of "Hi de hi de hi de ho"). In performances, Calloway would have the audience and the band members participate by repeating each scat phrase in a form of a call and response, eventually making it too fast and complicated for the audience to replicate.

First released by Brunswick Records, the song was the biggest chart-topper of 1931.[2] Calloway publicized and then celebrated a "12th birthday" for the song on June 17, 1943, while performing at New York's Strand Theatre. He reported that he was then singing the song at both beginning and end of four performances daily, and then estimated his total performances to date: "she's kicked the gong around for me more than 40,000 times.

Here is a showreel of TV commercials produced by the Doyle, Dane and Bernbach (DDB) advertising agency in the 1970s. The majority of commercials are for Polaroid International promoting cameras (circa 1977) in different countries. The cameras included the Polaroid 1000, 2000, and EE33. Some of these advertisement feature the renowned mime Marcel Marceau, who performs different skits which he enhances with a Polaroid instant camera. The film also features several commercials for Mobil gas stations and their branded expansion into Florida and Georgia. (Note: these commercials were donated to us by Charles Abrams, who was an art director at DDB at the time they were made.)

Dating to 1945, "Play in the Snow" is an Erpi Classroom Film which was produced by Encyclopedia Britannica. It shows children playing in the snow, starting with images of children dressing for the wintery outdoors. It then shows them involved in winter sports, making a snowman, playing fox &amp; geese, sledding &amp; skiing, ski jumping and more.

00:00 - 0:57: The scene opens with a winter setting where snow covers the town. A snow plow is clearing the streets as children prepare to play in the snow. Bill Clark dresses in a loose sweater for warmth without over-bundling.

0:57 - 1:42: Bill, along with his siblings Nell and Charlie, gear up with appropriate winter clothing. They decide to make a snowman, initiating the activity with enthusiasm.

1:42 - 3:16: The children work together to build a snowman, named Wellington, by rolling snowballs to form its body parts. They add details like a nose, buttons, and a hat, illustrating the joy and teamwork involved in this classic winter activity.

3:16 - 4:35: After finishing with the snowman, the children engage in another game, "Fox and Geese," where they create a circular track with spokes, designating one child as the 'fox' who tries to catch the 'geese' as they move around the pattern.

4:35 - 6:57: The scene shifts to sledding. The children slide down a hill marked by flags, ensuring safety by waiting for a clear path. Various types of sleds are shown, and they enjoy multiple runs up and down the hill.

6:57 - 8:42: Transition to skiing, where the kids ensure their equipment is secure. They demonstrate skiing techniques like walking with skis, using the herringbone step to ascend, and sliding down small hills, highlighting the basics of skiing.

After his beautiful wife Carole Lombard, was killed in a plane crash while working for the USO, a grieving Clark Gable couldn't face Hollywood anymore, so he joined up with the Army Air Corps. Gable famously requested that he be sent into actual combat. So naturally Hap Arnold decided he should make a movie about his combat group, the 351st Bombardment Group. Gable narrates this complete portrait of his outfit and appears in several short scenes where he interviews his comrades-in-arms. The focus of the film, though, is the group itself, especially the gunners. The film starts just after training is complete and the group flies to England to begin flying actual missions. The film covers all aspects of the lives of the gunners, from actual combat to leisure time, and from goofy hijinks to the gritty reality of seeing your buddies get killed or seriously wounded in combat. The film is quite similar to The Memphis Belle, though perhaps not as engrossing as that film. Still, the film has quite a bit of historical value as a portrait of combat and army life, and is one of the few long-length color documentaries to emerge from the war.

This documentary episode of  "The Challenging Sea" (1969) was produced by Charles J. Sutton and BIll Burrud Productions. It tells the story of Colonel John D. Craig, a Hollywood cameraman who, in 1932, fell in love with the underwater world and dedicated his life to capturing it on film. Craig pioneered underwater photography and diving technology, creating some of the first underwater motion picture cameras and refining diving gear to explore deeper and more safely. His first dive in Baja, California used heavy Japanese hard hat equipment. Driven to share his fascination with the deep sea, Craig developed cameras and techniques that evolved from tripod-mounted units to lightweight 16mm cameras, making underwater motion pictures accessible and thrilling. Despite dangers, including equipment failure and life-threatening situations, he innovated self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba), collaborating on helium-oxygen mixes to enable deeper dives. His career in military service included photographing atomic tests. Later he became a TV personality, producing "Kingdom of the Sea" and other series that explored sharks, sunken ships, and unique underwater experiences. Craig also trained divers for recreational, law enforcement, and firefighting, emphasizing safety and public service. Reflecting on his lifelong work, Craig expresses a continued romance with the sea, proud of his contributions to diving, underwater exploration, and film. The documentary closes by honoring Craig’s adventurous legacy.

"Symphony in Black: A Rhapsody of Negro Life" is musical short produced in 1935 that features Duke Ellington’s early extended piece, "A Rhapsody of Negro Life". The film, Billie Holiday’s screen debut, was directed by Fred Waller and distributed by Paramount Pictures.Symphony in Black represents a landmark in musical, cultural, and entertainment history as well as significant progress in Ellington’s own biography. It is a member of the first generation of non-classically arranged orchestral scores and perhaps most importantly, one of the first films written by an African American describing African American life to reach wide distribution.The film won the Best "musical short subject" Academy Award for its year.

Symphony in Black depicts black life in America and the composition itself (A Rhapsody of Negro Life) is divided into four parts: “The Laborers,” “A Triangle”, “A Hymn of Sorrow” and “Harlem Rhythm”. “A Triangle” features the vocals by Holiday and solos by jazz clarinetist and tenor saxophonist Barney Bigard and Ellington Orchestra regular, trombonist 'Tricky Sam' Nanton. It is important to note that while Symphony in Black is the title of the Paramount film, A Rhapsody of Negro Life is the actual title of Ellington's composition. The piece has been largely overshadowed by its successor, perhaps Ellington’s most best known extended composition, "Black, Brown, and Beige" and thus significantly less documentation exists concerning it.

"Living Stereo", is an RCA Victor short about the invention of stereophonic records. It was produced by Jam Handy and likely dates to 1958, when RCA Victor introduced stereophonic sound. This was part of a larger trend of record companies adapting LPs for stereo playback. (RCA also released stereophonic sound tape cartridges in the same year.)  As this film explains, stereophonic sound is a two-channel sound that separates out different elements of the sound. This technology more closely mimics how humans hear the world around them. 

The film introduces Bob Bags, the marketing manager at RCA Victor, who presents the new RCA Victor stereo orthophonic High Fidelity victrolas. He explains the concept of living stereo, which uses two separate soundtracks from one record groove to create a fuller, more immersive sound experience. Using animation, the film details the technical aspects of how regular one-track recording differs from the new living stereo grooves and the special stereo pickup developed by RCA. It highlights the benefits of living stereo for the average family, the compatibility of the new victrolas with various record types, and the conversion options for existing customers. The announcement emphasizes the new musical experience available to everyone and concludes with music.

Originally made to be shown in movie theaters in New Castle, Indiana in the late 1930s / early 1940s, these wonderful ads promote the "delightfully refreshing" Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola officially introduced the iconic slogan heard in these ads, "The Pause that Refreshes" in 1929. Developed as a shift from earlier, more literal phrasing like "Pause and refresh yourself," this slogan became one of the brand's most successful, long-running advertising campaigns, emphasizing a relaxing break from the busy, daily grind. At the time that these ads were made, refrigerators were becoming a mainsay of American households, so the ads promote having Coke at home. (Most American homes had refrigerators by the late 1940s and early 1950s, with widespread adoption taking off after WWII.)

Dating to the 1930s and shot by an unknown filmmaker, this 16mm silent home movie shows a cruise up the East River from Manhattan into Long Island Sound, through the Cape Cod Canal, through the Deer Isle Passage, Maine, then the Canso Canal between Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, then salmon fishing probably on the Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec. Along the way, the participants go fishing, duck hunting and sight-seeing. Some significant landmarks are seen in the NYC vicinity including the Brooklyn Bridge and Hell Gate Bridge. The voyage continues through the Cape Cod Canal which traverses the neck of land joining Cape Cod to the state's mainland.. A group disembarks for a fishing trip. Footage highlights friendship among fishers and the pursuit of retreat as they ruin suit slacks for a chance at a better cast. They catch a string of codfish and one flounder along the coast and then one of the ladies catches a salmon in the river.

Towards the end of his acting career, Ronald Reagan served as the host of "Death Valley Days", which was sponsored by the Pacific Coast Borax Company, later U.S. Borax company, maker of various soap and cleaning products. In these TV commercials, Reagan promotes the company's waterless hand cleaner. At :35, Reagan's daughter Patti shows off powdered Boraxo powdered hand soap. At 1:08, Reagan shows off the hand soap in a new decorator container, and shows off the waterless hand cleaner at 1:42. At 2:12, Reagan is shown surrounded by various laundry products, promoting the economical Borateem cleanser, a natural fabric softener and cleaner. At 2:58, Reagan discusses how the detergent sanitizes diapers and prevents diaper rash. At 3:14, another Borateem television ad, with animated sunburst, as the narrator discusses the product's disinfecting and sanitizing power. 

Borateem still exists to this day. It is a brand of non-chlorine, color-safe powder bleach, now manufactured by the Dial Corporation, used to whiten whites, brighten colors, and remove stains from laundry. The Boraxo line of hand cleansers expanded to include powdered and liquid hand cleaners but was discontinued by Dial in 2021 or 2022.

This silent film (which almost certainly once had a soundtrack) shows USAF military history spanning three decades of U.S. Air Force air power, training, weaponry and x-plane aircraft at Edwards Air Force Base; based near Lancaster, California. Edwards was constructed in the 1930s as Muroc Field. Following the close of WW2, it was renamed after Capt. Glen Edwards. Edwards is the home of the Air Force Test Center, Air Force Test Pilot School and NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center. It is responsible for much of the USAF’s research and developmental programs for flight as well as testing and development of aerospace systems from concept to combat. The finale of the film captures a historic moment in the Space Shuttle program as the Reagans, and test pilots Henry Hartsfield and Ken Mattingly met up after the STS-4 flight in the summer of 1982. Pilots conduct spins and rolls, technicians perform tests on crafts and evaluations on protective gear and systems. It shows what the USAF was up to after WWII and into the Cold War. Military action was concentrated on producing weapons to combat Soviet might. The Valkyrie was a prototype version of the planned B-70 nuclear-armed deep penetration super sonic strategic bomber. North American designed it in the 1950’s; it’s first flight would be 1964 and it was retired by 1969. The XB-70 was to replace the B-52 Stratofortress and B-58 Hustler. It’s high speeds made it difficult to capture on radar screens making it a viable competitor against Soviet inceptor or fighter aircraft. ICBM’s were introduced in the late 1950’s rendering crewed nuclear bombers obsolete. The B-70 program was canceled in 1961. It includes images of the Avro Canada VZ-9 Avr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fb46cad5-428f-4088-9f20-ab9049f366b4/b529ee05-c234-4865-967f-024e743678d7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/x2ExdVKY13AstfeDwM6ssh</video:player_loc><video:duration>1750</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T14:00:24.858Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uV2MbE6rEJ96EwNjQiS5nU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0d582f69-547c-4bfa-ba18-929b8786c529.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"CEILING UNLIMITED"  1958 EARLY SPACE RACE DOCUMENTARY   ATLAS ROCKET  ASTRONAUT TRAINING  GG48185</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Hosted by Webley Edwards, who produced a series of albums for Capitol Records, this vibrant Hawaiian program "Hawaii Calls" (1963) blends music, humor, and culture into a lively showcase of island life. It features the Hawaiian Wedding Song (Ed Kenny &amp; Marlene Sai), Lovely Hula Hands (Manu &amp; Donna Butterworth) and Beyond the Reef (Haunani Kahalewai). The show opens with introductions to Hawaiian words and traditions before launching into a series of musical performances—from playful hula songs and comedic numbers like Hilo Hattie’s tale of a confused mayor, to romantic ballads about lost love, the sea, and paradise. Ed Kenny and other performers sing classics such as “Sweet Leilani” and “Follow Me,” while dancers like Lonnie bring grace to traditional hula. There's humor in Hawaii’s statehood celebration, nostalgic reflections on education abroad, and a charming musical travelogue around Oahu. The show closes with an uplifting message about dreams and happiness, ending on a heartfelt rendition of “Aloha Oe” as a farewell until the next episode.

Shot by an unknown American amateur filmmaker, this 1934 silent home film shows a trip of the RMS Mauretania (referred to in the film as SS Mauretania) to Venezuela and Panama. It was filmed by one of the guests on the ship and focuses on the other travelers and some tourist sights along the way. The passengers first travel to Caracas through La Guaira in Venezuela. They then head towards Panama, where they sightsee in Panama City and spend an extended amount of time on the Panama Canal. The film ends with series of close-ups of some of the guests from the journey. This journey was apparently one of the last voyages of the SS Mauretania before its retirement in September 1934.

This documentary is one of the "Army-Navy Screen Magazine" series made during WWII and consists of two segments: "The Eastern Front" and "Paris". The first segment recounts the turning tide of war on the Eastern Front, beginning with the Soviet victory at Stalingrad, where 300,000 German troops were encircled and taken prisoner or killed. The Red Army’s relentless counter-offensives in 1943 and 1944 pushed German forces westward, reclaiming vast territories and liberating cities like Bryansk through intense, street-by-street combat. Behind enemy lines, guerrilla fighters—many of them civilians—waged sabotage campaigns, destroying bridges, ambushing troops, and disrupting communications. Their courage, fueled by suffering and the memory of atrocities committed by the Nazis, helped cripple the German war machine. The film then shifts to the Western Front, highlighting the liberation of Paris on August 25, 1944, and the jubilation that followed. It contrasts the joy of freedom with the grim sacrifices that made it possible, portraying liberation as both a moment of celebration and a solemn historical responsibility.

The finale of the film, where he takes on a sawfish, apparently almost cost him his leg. The film is narrated by Lowell Thomas, and directed by Raymond Friedgen.

Dating to 1942 and produced by Wilding Pictures on behalf of ALCOA, "Unfinished Rainbows"  tells the inspiring story of how aluminum, once a rare and costly metal, became one of the most widely used and affordable materials in the modern world. It begins with Charles Martin Hall who discovered an inexpensive method to extract aluminum from its ore. Hall partnered with others to form what would become the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA). The company innovated  and produced aluminum furniture, railroad cars, and wire mills — and proved the metal's potential. The film concludes by highlighting how perseverance, innovation, and teamwork turned aluminum into a cornerstone of industry and national defense, emphasizing the continuing challenge for youth to seize the opportunities still waiting to be discovered. It was directed by Jean Yarborough, shot by Arthur Arling, and from a script by Leo Rosencrans.

This film "Handle with Care" was created by the Monotype Corporation circa 1960s. The film is about the care and handling of composition molds (British: mould), precision machined components which were used for casting of lead type. These were a well regarding typesetting machine that cast individual letters of type from hot metal, usually lead. The Monotype consists of a keyboard and a caster, allowing operators to create a paper strip that controls the casting of type. Monotype's casting allows for easy corrections, making it well-suited for printing books.  The film provides a detailed look into the construction, function, maintenance, and care of a Monotype composition mold, a precision tool used in typesetting. It emphasizes the extraordinary craftsmanship and minute tolerances involved in mold manufacturing—down to less than a tenth of a thousandth of an inch. The video illustrates the casting cycle, highlighting the importance of timing and cleanliness for accurate type production. Viewers are guided through proper disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly procedures, comparing the mold operator’s role to that of a surgeon. Strict warnings are given about tampering with factory-set adjustments, and the use of appropriate tools and materials is emphasized. Ultimately, the message is clear: careful handling and regular maintenance ensure the production of perfect type and the long operational life of molds, as exemplified by a mold in continuous service since 1927.00:00 The Monotype composition mold is introduced as a precision instrument, not just a piece of steel.1:11 – Molds are ideally shipped with a technician, but a leaflet sometimes must suffice .2:29 – Respect the craftsmanship and precision behind molds.3:03 – Demonstration of extreme precision: measurements down to 1/10,000th of an inch.3:36 – Diamond dust polishing are used fo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/df195025-f483-4da6-aa58-dac60988d819/36c95b1d-e1ac-4c4d-a0c4-52fde0d3ff7e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/txRvDQdPMXmRBmN9gzayK4</video:player_loc><video:duration>1457</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T14:57:41.945Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/x1ivTvKMznPSVZTvo53fek</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/929f11e6-cc5d-485c-9add-5b60555ee3a4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" LIFE ON THE MODERN FARM ” 1950 NEWS REVIEW OF ADVANCEMENTS IN FARMING &amp; AGRICULTURE    SM10155</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

He showcases the town’s three major ski areas—Aspen Mountain, Buttermilk, and his personal favorite, Snowmass—emphasizing their varied terrain, beautiful scenery, and lack of lift lines in the off-peak month. Beyond skiing, Aspen offers spontaneous travel opportunities, plentiful accommodations, vibrant nightlife, and over 100 restaurants and 200 shops, all less crowded in January. The video also features the festive WinterSköl celebration, comedy skits, romantic ski montages, and music, all reinforcing the message that Aspen in January is a perfect blend of adventure, fun, and charm—with fewer crowds and more room to enjoy everything the town has to offer.

0:00 – Introduction: Buddy Hackett introduces himself as a stand-in taxi driver to show viewers around Aspen, Colorado, specifically in January.0:47 – Why Aspen is Famous: Aspen is home to three major mountains (Aspen Mountain, Buttermilk, and Snowmass), and they can all be skied with a single lift ticket — and no lift lines in January.1:01 – Aspen Mountain: Known as the “granddaddy” of Aspen ski areas, it offers challenging terrain. Buddy jokes that he skis there once a year to “renew his fear.”1:19 – Buttermilk: A great beginner mountain with smooth slopes, often called the best teaching mountain in the country — but it also has a more exciting side.1:48 – Snowmass: Buddy’s favorite mountain. 1,400 acres of skiable terrain. You could ski all January and not repeat trails.2:32 – ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/99a99dc0-fbec-44b9-9fcb-1ea5353b6866/3ba0977b-6d5f-4458-920b-13809c870af0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jYxAki2XfdoFmpefDcQtfw</video:player_loc><video:duration>904</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T15:03:17.196Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dhVQVaM37tE5AgEE8fJYjL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d015591e-ca5b-4afa-8430-c3178129950d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"RAPIMENTO DE MILLI"  1930s VAN BEUREN CIRCUS CARTOON w/ COUNTESS CAT  GG49675b</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This brief circus cartoon from the early 1930s was released in Italy under the name "Rapimento De Milli" or literally, "The Kidnapping of Milli". It's actually an extract from “A Circus Romance” (1932)  made by The Van Beuren Studio and directed by John Foster and Harry Bailey. Countess Cat appears in the Van Beuren Studios cartoon shorts, often paired up with her boyfriend Waffles Cat. Countess was a popular character for a brief time. Stores sold dolls of Countess, figurines and posters and she appeared in story books, and coloring books with her boyfriend Waffles the Cat.

This silent home movie was shot by a family that lived in New York. It shows the Gentry Brothers Circus coming to town, and must pre-date 1929 as Gentry Bros. folded in that year as part of Great Depression financial woes. At the time the film was shot, the circus was a major form of American entertainment that included major players such as the Ringling Bros. and Barnum &amp; Bailey. Gentry Brothers began as a small dog and pony show in 1885 by 17 year old Henry B. Gentry. Henry and his two brothers expanded into tent shows in 1891. By 1910, they were the largest traveling American circus. The film presents a slice of early circus history, starting with shots of the roustabouts as they set up for the show, ornate bandwagons, equestrian riders and clowns marching into the main arena for opening day. It shows the set up process as workers tend to animals and string up banners advertising various acts. The film also includes other scenes including a parade, what might be the Harvard-Yale crew races, and footage of siblings as they tend to the family pony, play pretend with an early telephone model and teach the dog tricks in the yard.  

0:00 The film opens with tents, performers on the grounds (:11), a bandwagon, horses and Ford Model T’s (:13). Draft horses drive forward (:24). The Circus relied heavily on horses often employing the larger draft breeds especially the docile Percheron. Shots pan over zebras (:52). Roustabouts set up tents near the elephants (:55). Tent set up continues (1:06-1:25). A bandwagon with the Gentry Bros. name (1:30), workers pulling lumber from a wagon (1:35) and hammering stakes into the ground follow (1:42). A worker tends to elephants (2:24). A pair of zebras stand by a Gentry Bros. bandwag...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6795e40e-33cd-42ac-8abe-bdb595c72638/9b8a32f7-bf29-4a84-947f-fabce4d8edda-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dMTwPbCB4tYhKBK5LkMGbu</video:player_loc><video:duration>996</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T15:27:36.012Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uJCXzNiYtb1b9A3ypVv1hJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3edf265c-51f0-4dd2-b1d9-ce9093b5744b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1920s / 1930s HOME MOVIES   HORSE FARM  SWIMMING HOLE  HARVESTING WHEAT w/ HORSE DRAWN TOOLS CS10015</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This well-produced silent, amateur 16mm home movie shows part of a Montana dude ranch trip made in the 1930s. It starts with images of what we believe to be the Allan Ranch near Augusta, which was run by Ralph Allan, a licensed guide and packer who advertised that he could "pack you into good game country." It also shows the Bones Brothers Ranch in Birney, Montana, also known as  the Z.T. Cox Ranch. The footage includes fairly standard imagery in terms of showing the experience that a "greenhorn" tourist might have visiting Montana in this era -- going riding, meeting Native Americans, and getting a taste of cowboy culture. Some visual highlights include:

0:00 Rodeo probably at the Allan Ranch, with cowboys trying to rope steers
1:02 Native American women watch the rodeo
1:44 Bucking bronco competition 
3:29 Bones Brothers Ranch title card
3:37 Black Pullman porter greets tourists boarding a train. The station is not known. Riding on the train, and arriving in Montana to be picked up by what might be a Hudson Motor Car. from Bones Brothers Ranch 
4:33 images of the ranch buildings, and skull of a bull at the Bones Bros. ranch
4:42 Cowboys at the ranch working on tack
5:15 rounding up horses at the ranch
6:30 tourists groom horses prior to riding
7:30 tourists saddle up and prepare to ride
10:11 Native American man and his wife pose for the camera
12:48 family poses in front of a car, showing off the results of fishing -- some small prizes.
15:02 The church in Birney, Montana, and shots of horses arrayed in front of a mercantile store, also likely in Birney, Montana

According to the Internet, Birney, Montana boasted a two-room school, a church, a store, a ranch supply store which also housed the post office, a saloo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/93e19a81-87cf-404d-b258-2c9ccf489cc6/7b6f0244-8170-4442-88f5-70986a5c11d6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jg92YgHxgvkSoapqZQdFb7</video:player_loc><video:duration>957</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T15:49:18.088Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/utZUBNE8zbT8UyDqwdJcnM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d158e241-81e1-44d9-a27f-40f625490207.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s HOME MOVIE     WATKINS GLEN ROAD RACE   DIX, NEW YORK   GG49655</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This amateur shot home movie shows a road race circa 1956 (date based on the 1956 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday that appears at 11:45 of the film). The competitors include Jaguars, Allards, Ferraris, Porsches, Austin-Healeys and other makes. This is apparently at Watkins Glen, now Watkins Glen International.  If so, and if shot in 1956, this shows the first permanent course, known as the Watkins Glen Grand Prix Race Course. This was constructed on 550 acres (2.2 km2), overlapping part of the previous street course. Designed by Bill Milliken and engineering professors from Cornell University, the 2.350-mile (3.782 km) layout was used from 1956 to 1970.

Watkins Glen International, nicknamed "The Glen", is an automobile race track in the northeastern United States, located in Dix, New York, just southwest of the village of Watkins Glen for which it is named, at the southern tip of Seneca Lake. It is long known around the world as the former home of the Formula One United States Grand Prix, which it hosted for twenty consecutive years (1961–1980). In addition, the site has also been home to road racing of nearly every class, including the World Sportscar Championship, Trans-Am, Can-Am, NASCAR, the International Motor Sports Association, and the IndyCar Series. The facility is currently owned by NASCAR.

Shot by an unknown New Yorker, this is a silent home movie and personal view of expansion of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway — a complex and controversial New York thoroughfare. It features renovations near the Co-Op apartments in the N.E. Bronx from 1968 through 1971. BQE; aka I-278, was designed by urban planner and political official, Robert Moses. Construction of the BQE began in 1937, requiring numerous expansions and renovations for years after involving significant engineering and construction efforts. A major challenge was the installation of an eight lane interstate highway with a narrow corridor without upsetting traffic flow. The detour was to be stacked atop the highway construction leading to the destruction of the Promenade and construction of a new six lane highway. Cantilevered roadways were destroyed in stages. Traffic was moved to the new interstate. Robert Moses’s infrastructure projects influenced generations of engineers, architects and urban planners. Hindsight suggests while the BQE facilitated regional connectivity it also fractured communities and ruined homes and businesses along the commercial corridor of Meeker Ave. Footage shows machinery from local companies and the construction process including home demolition, material removal, ground leveling, asphalt laying and gantry installation. It shows urban New York and it’s low density neighborhoods along the expressway. Conclusion shows heavy congestion and flooding on the expressway making a social comment with a sign reading ‘Progress?.’ Record rainfall water logged the city in 1971 forcing a dispatch of tow trucks to the expressway near Greenpoint.

“The Gold Locket” is an elaborate silent, 1950s amateur film by Ralph McNitt. This is the first half of the movie; the second half which included a trip to India is sadly missing. Also unfortunately, we don't know much about McNitt, but there are many intriguing clues in the film! The film documents McNitt and "Uncle Ben"'s look back at family history dating to the Gold Rush, a search for a treasure map, and a trip to Asia aboard the M/S Fermoor. This trip spans Japan, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong and Indonesia. Footage includes SF’s Chinatown, Tokyo’s Imperial Hotel, the Mojiko Retro District, Chinese junks and sampans in Victoria Harbor, Adrien-Jean Le Mayeur’s home, Tiger Balm Garden and a number of temples and mosques. (Note: We believe the film dates to around 1950 as it identifies Malaysia as Malaya. M/S Fermoor was scrapped in 1960.)

(0:00) Main titles (:23) and a California carnival with rides including a miniature train (:42). Ben visits a fortune teller (1:42) who foresees a trip to strange lands (1:58). A quote from the New York Tribune’s founder leads to the California Gold Rush and Ben’s ancestry (2:42).  A letter from William Egan to his wife details success in the Gold Rush and a gift of a gold locket (3:06) which is later passed to Ben’s niece Mary (3:19). The letter is uncovered in a trunk (4:29). The family hosts a meeting. Ben decides to locate Mary (5:27) booking a train for San Francisco (7:10). Footage captures skyline views from Nob Hill (7:40) and Chinatown along Grant street (7:55) with Shanghai Low. The restaurant was featured in Orson Welles 1947 “Lady from Shanghai”. Ben books a trip aboard a freighter (8:29). The Overseas Shipping Co (8:57) near the San Francisco-Oakland Bay bridge follows.

Dating to the mid 1960s, this silent home movie appears to show a trip by Czech President Antonín Novotný to Austria to take part in a Communist Party rally. 

Film begins with POV shots from a moving Mercedes Benz, on a mountain road near the Wörthersee. At :47 are shots of  the stone Dragon of Klagenfurt, Austria. At 1:29, a child plays with pigeons in the park at Klagenfurt. At 1:38, an anti-fascist protest with people carrying signs that say "SS" and then have the last name of a person on them. At 1:42, protestors carry a banner in support of Castro's Socialist Cuba. At 1:47, a banner reads "Parteiorganisation Polizei". This may reference the WWII era Nazi-era infiltration and control of the police, or it may refer to the Communist Party's internal police force. At 1:52, Czech President Antonín Novotný is seen speaking at the rally. At 1:58, the Berghotel Moosekreuz is shown in St. Anton am Arlberg, Austria.

This untitled, silent, black-and-white home movie chronicles an American family’s trip in Italy and France during the early 1930s. The film includes footage of Venice, Lake Como and Villa d’Este, Nice and the French Riviera as well as the French Alps. While the family is unknown, it appears this film is one of many travelogs made by this couple as they appear in other travelog films through Europe.  

Film opens to scene of small cabanas, striped umbrellas, beach chairs lining sandy shore of beach near Venice (0:08). Woman helped off gondola for perhaps tour through Venice canals (0:16). Backlit silhouette of gondolier guides gondola under bridge; Silhouettes of men and women standing over canal on perhaps Ponte della Paglia (0:55). Woman walks along pier in Venice wearing white drop-waist dress with pleated skirt along pier of tourist boats for day tours to Murano (glass-blowing island); Interesting to note sign in English (1:08). Monument to Victor Emmanuel II; Bronze equestrian statue located in Riva degli Schiavoni, in Castello, Venice, Italy (1:25). Camera pans mountains encircling Lake Como (Monte Grona Resegone, Corni di Canzo, Grigna, Legnone and the Grignetta) (1:33). Example of typical “Batel” boat docked along Lake Como - these boats typically used for fishing, with three circles on top which were covered with a blanket to repair the fishermen from the rain and the scorching sun (today called Lucia boat); other ferry boats (2:51). Camera pans lake once more focusing on water, scenery, mountain range and the impressive palazzos dotting the coast line (3:33). Small pier in center of lake with slide to entertain swimmers (3:53).

Shot in the late 1940s or early 1950s, this silent, amateur produced movie shows the training of Voyageur Scouts.  The Scouts shown are from Region 7 which is Northern Wisconsin, and based on research this is likely the Northern Wisconsin National Canoe Base. This base opened in 1940 and closed in 1983. It was located on the site of a former Civilian Conservation Corps camp on the south end of the east shore of White Sand Lake in northern Wisconsin. The closest town to that site is Boulder Junction, Wisconsin.

00:00 Patches and sign for the Canoe Base  :35 Scouts pose in front of Region Seven Scout Landing sign: Learning the Ropes. Scouts learn to make various kinds of knots with hemp type ropes.2:20  Learning basics of canoe paddles. 3:32 Basic stroke is practiced without the canoe.3:50 The Beach is Buddy Board. Each Scout leaves a stick with his name on it, on the beach, so a count can be made later in the day and see if anyone's missing.4:40 Correct launching form for the canoe is demonstrated.6:20 How to change positions in the canoe is demonstrated6:53 How to land or beach a canoe is demonstrated8:00 Technique shown how to right a capsized canoe from another canoe9:07 Preparing portage of the canoe is demonstratedLocated near Boulder Jct., Wisconsin on White Sand Lake at an old CCC camp, the canoe base had about 43 years of good service to youth.  Dwindling numbers of Scouts brought on its demise. The primary program was wilderness canoe trips, through the lakes and rivers of northern Wisconsin and the southern edge of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The base provided training, outfitting, and guiding for these trips as well as sleeping and meal facilities for groups of 6-1...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/592c8af5-018d-4d9a-9390-b516d61d6eef/9a7023bb-0153-4cd3-850e-4c5475c15709-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/c1EYoRTLGozyN1TeZ3YG5F</video:player_loc><video:duration>637</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T16:28:17.903Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jZbRzyNQYz5ci9pEgRtKmA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2d40a4a0-6558-4821-9d1d-1d37f630543e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>6.4% SPACE SHUTTLE SCALE MODEL ACOUSTIC TESTS   NASA SOUND SUPPRESSION WATER SYSTEM GG50125</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This silent film shows acoustic tests performed on a 6.4% scale model of the Space Shuttle Vehicle (SSV), made sometime between the first (STS-1) and second (STS-2) Space Shuttle flights, or sometime between 12 April to 12 November 1981. The tests also featured a scale vehicle launch pad equipped with an exhaust deflector and simulated duct.

The background on this footage is this: the first launch of the Space Shuttle (STS-1) utilized what was known as the Sound Suppression Water System. This deluged the flame trench on the launch pad, in order to dampen the acoustics of the rocket engines firing. It was believed this would prevent damage to the Orbiter, External Tank (ET) and Solid Rocket Boosters (SRBs) during the first few seconds of lift-off. Data gathered from this first launch however, indicated that the acoustics were much worse than expected. Even with the water deluge, the sound waves literally bounced off the bottom of the flame trench and hit the rear end of the Shuttle stack. The resulting energy could have torn the whole assembly asunder.

To address this critical problem before STS-2, NASA performed tests to determine a method of dampening acoustic effects to a safe level during the first few critical seconds of launch. The film shows one of these dampening tests. Engineers came up with the idea of a series of water-filled bladders across the openings to the flame trench. These would absorb the sound waves from the initial ignition of the engines, that would then be further dampened by the water being pumped into the trench itself. The end result was that sound effects to the stack were reduced, so that the stack could withstand for the first seconds and get pad separation.

This fascinating and somewhat mysterious short film, date and location unknown, appears to show golfer Bobby Jones and a group of unidentified celebrities, at what must be a preliminary exhibition prior to a golf match. The film begins at 00:00 with an image of a man's toiletry case. This elaborate kit, which must have been a prize for the match winner, contains brushes, combs, vials of cologne and other products, and matching watch fob and other accessories. At :32, men look at the kit. At :45, members of an Asian delegation, possibly Japanese naval attaches, are seen attending the event. At 1:00, two golfers -- apparently Bobby Jones, possibly preceded by Walter Hagen, tee off. At 1:40, a luncheon attended by a group of men, although identies of them are unclear. At 3:20, the Japanese delegation is seen further.

This silent, raw footage from the Vietnam War probably dates to the 1970-75 era. Locations, exact dates, and the precise nature of the content is unknown.  It starts 00:00 with shots of an H-34 helicopter loading on a field. Then at :40, it shows scenes shot at a political rally in South Vietnam. At 2:04, the Sikorsky H-34 helicopters are shown flying in tandem (possibly, carrying the political figures to and from the rally). At 2:08, an African American / Black door gunner keeps ready at a .50 caliber machinegun.

This NASA film is the launch report for Space Shuttle Discovery flight STS-29. STS-29 was the 28th NASA Space Shuttle mission, during which Space Shuttle Discovery inserted a Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) into Earth orbit. It was the third shuttle mission following the Challenger disaster in 1986, and launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on March 13, 1989. STS-29R was the eighth flight of Discovery and the 28th Space Shuttle mission overall; its planned predecessor, STS-28, was delayed until August 1989.

The mission was technically designated STS-29R as the original STS-29 designator belonged to STS-61-A, the 22nd Space Shuttle mission. Official documentation and paperwork for that mission contained the designator STS-29 when it was allocated to Space Shuttle Columbia and later as STS-30 when allocated to Challenger. As STS-51-L was designated STS-33, future flights with the STS-26 through STS-33 designators would require the R in their documentation to avoid conflicts in tracking data from one mission to another.

Crew: Commander Michael Coats,  Pilot John E. Blaha,  Mission Specialist Robert C. Springer, 
Mission Specialist /  Flight Engineer James Buchli,   Mission Specialist James P. Bagian.

Possibly shot in Pueblo, Colorado (or possibly in Wyoming?) in 1935, this fascinating short home movie contains three important men of the era: Frank Hawks, General Pershing and President Herbert Hoover. The film starts with a 1935 title card and then footage of General John J. Pershing at what appears to be a road house or gas station (0:14).  The car he's in appears to be a Chevrolet, based on the eagle hood ornament. Pershing speaks to various people, before getting back into the car and heading out on the highway (1:53). At (2:25) are images of the main street of a small western town, location unknown, followed by some shots of an unknown family. At (3:06), a Navy Boeing F4B-4 biplane flown by pilot Frank Hawks is shown taxing towards camera.  At (3:30) Frank Hawks shakes hands with well wishers in front of the Western Air Express hangar. At (4:28) an unidentified man walks towards camera. At (4:35) a man, probably a veteran and a member of the American Legion based on his distinctive hat, poses with a mule that wears a "Denver Mile High" banner. At (5:06) what appears to be Gen. Pershing emerging from a building, surrounded by veterans and/or legionnaires. At (5:15) a train is shown with President Herbert Hoover making a whistle stop tour. 

Frank Monroe Hawks was a pilot in the United States Army Air Service during World War I and was known during the 1920s and 1930s as a record breaking aviator, using a series of Texaco-sponsored aircraft, setting 214 point-to-point records in the United States and Europe.  After retiring from a career as an air racer, he died in 1938, flying an experimental aircraft.

This untitled, uncredited silent color film is an amateur home movie that likely dates to the late 1930s or early 1940s. The film takes place in the United States across three states - Colorado, New Mexico, and New York. In Colorado, the couple behind the film largely explore the city of Colorado Springs, the Broadmoor Resort, and surrounding nature. In Santa Fe, the film focuses on Santa Fe Railroad steam locomotives as well as the vibrant Pueblo culture found there. Finally, the film ends in New York City at Yankee Stadium, where the Yankees are playing against the St. Louis Cardinals and Babe Ruth watches his former team from the stands. Film begins, small tree-lined lake, two people seen canoeing across water in green canoe (0:08). Camera zooms into Pikes Peak mountain range area seen just beyond lake (0:23). Stylish young woman stands by fence in front of lake, wears chic black 1940s-era dress and decorative hat; Same woman seen posing around other areas of hotel property (0:35). Man in straw hat, suit coat, tie sits on bench under flag pole in resort garden (1:04). Facade of The Broadmoor historic, scenic resort and hotel (1:18).

This extraordinary raw footage was recently unearthed by film historian Jeff Joseph. The footage, which was clearly intended to be part of a production of some sort, was originally shot with sound — but unfortunately that element has now been lost. The film provides an extraordinary look at  Louis Armstrong making what might be his first appearance in Las Vegas circa 1954. Armstrong was the headliner for a show that partnered him with Metropolitan Opera star Robert Merrill. It was called "High Hat and Low Down" and initially ran at the Sands Hotel for two weeks -- but then was so popular that it became a seasonal act that ran for at least three years. Appearing with Armstrong was his "all star" Satchmo All Star Band and singer Velma Middleton, and (at least in 1956 or 57) Natalie &amp; The Beachcombers, the Copa Girls and the Antonio Morelli Orchestra. The show was produced by Jack Entratter, who initially raised eyebrows by bringing together Merrill and Armstrong to share the top billing, but according to a review, "...this unique combination of opera and jazz was a hit with even the most jaded audiences on its opening night."  The lively show was full of good humor and interspersed with comedic segments. Some of the songs that were part of the set list included "Granada" (typically the opening song) and the spirituals "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen", "Joshua Fit' the Battle of Jericho",  "Return to Sorrento" and "On the Street Where You Live". He also performed opera standards such as the Toreador Song from "Carmen" and Figaro’s aria from "Barber of Seville". Armstrong was said by a reviewer to be in "top form" performing "Sleepy Time Down South". The Satchmo &amp; His All Stars band in 1957 included Billy Kyle, piano...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/727708ad-4075-45eb-ad0b-69674dbc9a2c/25b12f4a-7083-452a-8ee1-16d116462aed-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/f8NSBpZyAXRpQCb9EJ27hL</video:player_loc><video:duration>1926</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T16:55:26.437Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2gLoDX5c9vjvaCRAKk5Z5P</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8119c427-6146-4f32-a1b4-19c1654e2f4a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1980s FIRST RESPONDER STOCK FOOTAGE  PARAMEDICS, POLICE, FIRE DEPARTMENT  TRAFFIC ACCIDENT SF10065</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This reel presents two silent films about Paris. First, "The Eiffel Tower" created by Rene Clair and released by Albatros Production in 1928. This tinted film is a playful exploration of the famous tower, including its construction and the experience of ascending it. It also serves as a tribute to designer Gustave Eiffel. The film uses blueprints and photographs of the earliest stages of its construction ahead of the opening of the World's Fair, and then focuses on the completed structure. Clair captures the mechanical aspects of the tower's elevators and shows a ride to the top of the structure and views of Paris. At (2:40) another silent film, "Around Paris", shows sights of the city including Place de la Concorde, Rue Royale and the Madeleine, the Opera (3:08), boulevards and cafes, the Louvre Museum (3:42), Arch de Triomphe (4:00), Notre Dame cathedral, Eiffel Tower, Grand Palais (4:42), L'Avenue du Marechal Foch (5:14), Bois de Boulogne (5:25).

Shot by an unknown filmmaker, this Super 8mm silent home movie shows some of the activities of a Black / African American family presumably living in California. It begins with a couple of birthday parties and a tree planting. This is followed by some family outings to the zoo, a park, and the Christian Brothers Wine Cellar.

Shot by an unknown American amateur filmmaker, this 16mm silent home movie captures intimacy among family intermingled with footage of wreckage from a devastating tornado circa 1952-55. Color shots open with the twin’s graduation; two young girls in dresses and later in graduation caps and gowns pose in the front and backyard. It transitions to scenes of tornado damage including mangled trees, interior guts of homes slumped along residential streets and shots of debris removal crews. A number of twisters caused significant damage in 1955. The film is possibly shot in either Udall, Kansas or Blackwell, Oklahoma. Two F5 tornados wreaked havoc from May 25th- 26th. Footage highlights the destruction a tornado can leave in it’s wake and the simplicity of family time in the 1950’s; pigtailed blondes play in the kiddie pool, kin gathers for a backyard summer party, youth and adults splash in a lake on summer retreat and play jump rope on the driveway in autumn. It’s a blend of universal and personal history. 

0:00 Parents pose with their daughters (:10). The girls sit in lilac dresses on the stoop next to red flower pots (:40) and later in graduation cap and gown (:52). Scenes of tornado damage interrupt (1:12), a group stands in front of splintered trees. Others pass down a street lined with wreckage (1:21) and debris removal crews (1:33). Excavators (1:48) and cranes are put to use (1:51). A worker in a hard hat stands atop rubble (201). Destroyed residential buildings, (2:22), a backhoe scooping waste (2:28) and a bent tree follow (2:50). A bulldozer mows over trees (2:58). Another bulldozer climbs a mountain of waste (3:21). Pigtailed blondes playfight in a kiddie pool (3:30).

This short roll of silent film is from the estate of Capt. John D. Craig, well known writer, TV host, Hollywood stunt man, deep sea diver,  and adventurer. It apparently is an extract or "dailies" from a longer film entitled "Wrestling Swordfish" which won an award of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1932. Here, Craig is shown pulling a hooked swordfish from the water into a boat, and suffocating it in the air. 

John D. Craig was an American businessman, writer, soldier, diver, Hollywood stunt man, film producer, and television host. He worked in the commercial surface-supplied diving industry from the 1930s on, and filmed aerial combat over Europe during World War II. He is best known for using film and television to show the United States public the beauties and dangers of Earth's underwater worlds.

This 16mm silent home movie was donated to Periscope Film by Bill K., who saved it from a thrift store. It dates to 1953-54 and shows the cruise of the USS Yorktown (CVA-10) and activities of Fighter Squadron 24 and Carrier Air Group 2 (CVG-2). It also shows a visit to South Korea in the immediate wake of the cease fire. Yorktown was re-activated for this cruise as a result of the Korean War, but did not arrive in theater in time to see combat. This deployment to the Western Pacific was from August 3, 1953 to March 3, 1954. The squadrons that were part of CVG-2 were:VF-24: Corsairs, F9F-6 Cougars VF-63: Fighting Redcocks, F9F-5VF-64: Free Lancers, F9F-5VA-65: Fist of the Fleet, Douglas AD-4B/4NA Skyraiders . After a storied career in WWII, the Yorktown was modernized in the 1950s to operate jet aircraft. It was decommissioned in 1970 and is now the centerpiece of the Patriots Point Naval &amp; Maritime Museum in Charleston, SC. The film begins with images of the ship departing Hawaii and heading to Yokosuka, Japan. At 1:36, an F3D Skyknight with wings folded sits on deck. At 2:24, Japanese female dancers with parasols greet the ship. At 2:55, a group of civilians are shown repairing a street, possibly from WWII damage. The group includes both male and female workers. At 3:19, an America man in a suit walks through the streets of Yokosuka. A Japanese artist is seen painting a landscape at 3;41. A rickshaw ride is shown, and at 4;43 what might be Mt. Fuji is visible in the distance. At 4:47 the crew has fun with new rangefinder cameras bought in Japan. At 5:10 the U.S. naval jack flies on the ship. At 6:05, a  C-124 Globemaster ferries some crew members to South Korea.

This silent footage shows the construction of various branches of Home Savings and Loan and the related Ahmanson Bank buildings. Starting in 1955, bank founder Howard Fieldstad Ahmanson commissioned artist and architectural designer Millard Sheets to design over 100 buildings throughout California, including several in Los Angeles, known for their unique architectural style (New Formalist) and integrated art elements, especially large-scale mosaics. Footage includes the Home Savings and Loan branch in Pasadena (2:00) at 860 East Colorado Boulevard at Lake Avenue, which opened in 1963.

This silent footage is a launch report for Space Shuttle Flight 41B. STS-41-B was NASA's tenth Space Shuttle mission and the fourth flight of the Space Shuttle Challenger. It launched on February 3, 1984 and landed on February 11, 1984, after deploying two communications satellites. It was also notable for including the first untethered spacewalk.

The STS-41-B crew included commander Vance D. Brand, making his second Shuttle flight; pilot Robert L. Gibson; and mission specialists Bruce McCandless II, Ronald E. McNair, and Robert L. Stewart.

(Note: Following STS-9, the flight numbering system for the Space Shuttle program was changed. Because the original successor to STS-9, STS-10, was canceled due to payload delays, the next flight, originally and internally designated STS-11, became STS-41-B as part of the new numbering system.)

This 1941 Home movie looks at a year in the life of a young boy named Bobby. It begins with his 2nd Birthday party, which is followed by a visit to the Zoo. The film then follows Bobby through important dates like Christmas and Easter. During Christmas (which would have been just after the Pearl Harbor attack incidentally), it shows extended footage of Bobby playing with a new Lionel train set. It ends with footage from the everyday, including Bobby during different seasons, going on trips to a lake, and playing with the family dog. At least part of the film was apparently shot in Pottstown, Pennsylvania.

Here are a variety of 1970s TV commercials and PSAs. The commercials are for diverse products such as pet food, tires, toys, margarine, and clothing stores as well as for military recruitment.    This compilation takes viewers on a pastel time warp through marketing advertisements of yesteryear. Animated 7-UP cans dance celebrating the American bicentennial, Kool-Aide boasts itself a healthy drink full of Vitamin C and Carnation Breakfast bars make a quick fix for busy mornings. Animal food providers including Friskies and Gaines offer varieties of foods for your furry friends. Marine Corp recruitment ads interject; don’t forget, and Mattel introduces handheld electronic games. It’ll make you want to slip into a can of sweet bubbly 7UP and 1970’s breakfast bars dipped in chocolate and laced with peanut butter.  

00:00 7-UP. In 1976 7UP released a commemorative bottle to celebrate the US’s bicentennial birthday. Uncle Sam beckons you to sip one down (12); each can was dressed in a different state. 7UP released Sugar Free 7 UP (1:08) in 1973. Sach’s Furnature in New York ran a week long Veterans special for home owners (1:44). Sach’s followed it up with a Labor Day Furniture Festival (2:35). Mom’s boast the Vitamin C content of Kool-Aide (3:23).  In the 1970’s Kool-Aide was rebranding themselves; offering new flavors while emphasizing the pre-sweetened drink contained 6 milligrams of vitamin C. Kool-Aide plays on family bonding time; a housewife and daughter cook together sipping Kool-Aide, decidedly cheaper than soda (4:00). Carnation Breakfast Bars (4:49) offer quick substitutes for home cooked breakfasts. Lives got busier in the 1970’s; standards (and cost) of living continued to in...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/441546b4-8cd3-4366-a61b-08c439c5c1ff/93361b1e-de92-4cfc-a01d-cb43916e35aa-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9pBNbtuZ3499gkwyUNBy3T</video:player_loc><video:duration>1457</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T17:42:31.005Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5PncbXcZpXT1RWiF5ko5c7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7fb89576-2047-4a8a-8ac6-573c67ff9e75.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"GOD OF THE ATOM" 1957 MOODY INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE  CHRISTIAN ATOMIC ENERGY EDUCATIONAL FILM XD93655z</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

"God of the Atom" (1957) is one of the Moody Institute of Science "Sermons" created under the auspices of Dr. Irwin A Moon. Summary: Energy, the equivalent of mass; a radical conception, key to the atomic age. The idea expressed in E=MC² is actually quite simple. But it has caused a great revolution in scientific thinking.  It means any object, a desk, a pencil, a piece of paper, just any bit of matter represents an unbelievable amount of energy. God of the Atom addresses man's spiritual bankruptcy and his need for regeneration." The Moody Institute of Science (MIS) films provided a religious interpretation for science, offering their viewers a glimpse of a natural world so complex that it could only be explained through the existence of a higher power or an intelligent designer. By 1956, these Creationist science films were used in 389 school systems in 46 states.

0:00 Main titles. The first atomic bomb is tested in New Mexico on July 16, 1945. The explosion melts steel and desert sand, producing dangerous radioactivity.2:20 – Atomic energy is introduced as a power placed in matter by God, not a new discovery. The sun's energy is atomic in nature.2:57 – Einstein’s equation, E=mc², is explained as the foundation of the atomic age. 3:28 – Everyday matter contains massive energy.4:42 – Matter is composed of tiny particles, and their rearrangement can be detected (e.g., through magnetism and sound).5:43 – The "Barkhausen Effect" .6:17 – A helium demonstration shows how sound travels faster in lighter gases, altering pitch.7:14 – Air molecules are powerful despite being invisible; air pressure is the result of molecular bombardment.8:36 – Microscopic smoke particles demonstrate how molecules can be observed through motion under a microscope.9:20 – The chemical composition of water (H₂O) is explored using elec...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2701928a-764a-408c-911d-4addf5496374/177e18a0-0de6-4061-ae75-0536795c8a65-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5PncbXcZpXT1RWiF5ko5c7</video:player_loc><video:duration>2202</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T17:50:12.514Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wcEpdZiuK8BNS8LuWSHMMz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8836ef0a-60cb-4e67-a936-0e7d562cf1f4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STOCK FOOTAGE CLIPS  SIMPLE &amp; COMPOUND MACHINES   WATER FAUCET  CAR CRASHES INTO STORE SF10015</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Host John Goodlad, an educational researcher and theorist who published influential models for renewing schools and teacher education, examines tools such as media and film to provide an immersive learning experience. Films have the ability to deliver cultural insights with ease, providing a broader understanding of the world. Studies show that when footage is combined with group discussion, students compare and contrast their own situation. This furthers their knowledge, empathy and understanding. Film engages the viewer via multisensory methods enabling gripping of abstract concepts. Film is looked to as a viable tool designed to bridge various gaps in the education system especially those of cultural differences. “Learning with Film and Video” stresses a diverse school culture and need for common focus in education in order to unite youth.  Fundamental similarities are explored; film’s introduction in the classroom cracked wide a world of understanding for students providing global views in order to help abandon prejudice and negative emotions of this is strange, weird or unfamiliar to me. The film is set at the Bedford Junior High School in Texas.

Released in 1975 "Another Man's Family", is an adaptation of a film produced by the U.S. Air Force and released by the National Fire Prevention Association.  This dramatization is based on a real-life incident in which a father caused the accidental death of himself and his family when he left a burning cigarette on a sofa. What could the family have done to save their lives?

0:00 Host discusses the difficulty of "selling" safety and fire prevention, stating that it won't deliver a sermon but aims to demonstrate that fire is a "cunning and malicious enemy." It suggests that carelessness by "that other guy" can lead to injury of loved ones, loss of business, or the death of valuable employees.2:13 The story, based on a true incident, focuses on a young military family, the Turners, living in a house near a military installation.3:37 Capt. Turner leaves for work, saying goodbye to his wife and two children, and the dog.4:10 In real life, crises and climaxes are not easily recognized, and people often act without a "script."5:08 Captain Turner, a safe driver who learned from a near-fatal car crash, understands how to act in traffic, but the film questions if he will learn about fire prevention the hard way.5:46 The film discusses the recognition of fire hazards, noting that people believe in visible hazards but often overlook concealed risks, such as matches and lighted cigarettes, which are the two greatest causes of fire incidents due to custom dulling awareness.7:55 Home is presented as a place of privacy without official supervision, where fire prevention is an "emotional attitude" and the ability to "see and feel proper respect for real danger."

This McGraw Hill educational film "Glass" (1958) was directed by Bert Haanstra and won the Academy Award for best documentary short. The film is about the glass industry in the Netherlands. It contrasts the handmade crystal from the Royal Leerdam Glass Factory with automated bottle making machines. Short segments of artisans making various glass goods by hand are joined with those of mass production. It is often acclaimed to be the perfect short documentary. The film unfolds as a rhythmic, abstract performance blending music, vocal repetition, and sound effects to create a layered, almost hypnotic atmosphere. It begins with ambient music and gradually introduces the recurring word “Heat,” which emerges as a central motif. Interspersed throughout are bursts of applause, vocal exclamations like “Hey,” and seemingly random numerical sequences such as “5,300” and “3,300,” repeated with variations and often paired with words like “death,” “safe,” and “fear.” These fragmented elements build a surreal, almost meditative experience that blurs the line between spoken word, performance art, and sound collage. The piece reaches a climax with the phrase “Grand Heat,” underscoring the intensity and thematic unity of the composition.

1:21 Upon arrival, service members will join large numbers of Americans already in Vietnam, present to help a nation suffering from widespread destruction caused by the enemy.

3:20 U.S. forces are described as highly mobile, flexible, and powerful. Troops will bring this capability directly to enemy strongholds, even in remote areas.

4:24 Service members will learn the importance of teamwork and individual responsibility. They will use both new tactics and refined methods from earlier wars. 

5:32 The enemy is surprised by American persistence. Rapid reaction is essential.

This recently re-discovered film "Union and Freedom", features Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who made an appearance in support of workers during a strike against Scripto Inc.  Scripto's plant in Atlanta, Georgia, was struck by the International Chemical Workers Union, led by Walter Mitchell. The union successfully secured wage increases and job rights for workers, addressing severe racial discrimination within the company. The strike, which saw support from civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his father, Reverend Martin Luther King Sr., was historic in that it marked the first collaboration between the civil rights movement and a labor union to fight for economic justice for industrial workers. The union provided extensive financial and logistical support to the striking workers, including holiday assistance and a defense fund, while also threatening a global boycott of Scripto products. Ultimately, the strike was a victory for both the labor movement and the civil rights movement, with the workers winning justice and equality. The struggle highlighted the importance of equal rights for all workers and set a precedent for future union and community actions across the nation.

Created in 1932 for the Metropolitan Water District by Gillam and Reed, "Thirst"  is an early sound film. It was shown in 200 movie theaters as part of a promotional campaign, urging the public to vote for the bond to build the Colorado River Aqueduct. The film begins with a dramatic scene of two individuals struggling in the desert, with one encouraging the other to keep going despite nearing exhaustion. They find a dry well that was full of water six months ago, illustrating the desert's harsh conditions. Chairman of the board of the Metropolitan Water District William P. Whitsett explains this as a recurring tragedy, relevant to Southern California's water crisis. Once a desert, the region has been transformed but risks reverting without more water. The history of water use shows the depletion of underground reserves, highlighting the urgent need for an external source, specifically the Colorado River. The Metropolitan Water District plans to build an aqueduct to bring water from the river, capable of delivering one billion gallons daily. The project is urgent, likened to an overdrawn bank account, emphasizing the necessity of securing water for Southern California's survival and growth.

This 1970s film is about the utilization of interactive computer aided design (CAD) and graphics in  engineering and design applications at Convair Aerospace, part of General Dynamics. The computer shown is a Digigraphics terminal first produced around 1963; it is connected to a Control Data Corp. CDC 6400 computer, developed in 1965.  The Digigraphics was one of the first graphical computer aided design systems, and was originally developed on a PDP-1 computer as EDM (Electronic Drafting Machine) before being purchased by Control Data Corporation and ported to their machines. Systems cost almost $500,000. After several years, CDC decided the concept was unprofitable, and closed the division. Here the cathode ray tube (CRT) is described as a key tool for direct communication, displaying text and drawings, and allowing program modifications via a light pen. The advantages of interactive graphics include time and cost savings, improved product quality, and enhanced creativity. Convair's approach involves training a broad base of users from various disciplines, developing software for ongoing work, and utilizing advanced computer configurations. The text also includes demonstrations of various programs by different engineers, showcasing applications in synthesizing linkages, monitoring curve-fitting programs, packaging printed circuit boards, developing high lift systems for the Space Shuttle booster, designing and testing control systems, and creating three-dimensional structural analysis models.

This Fox film "The Game of Jai-Alai / The World's Fastest Game" (1936) is a Treasure Chest Production and was written and narrated by Edward Thorgeren. It explains the evolution of a sport originating with four Mexican bankers. Initially, one of them (Pancho)'s focus on the ball sparks a fight. Over generations, the game, now often called pilota, becomes more sophisticated with paddles and improved balls, emphasizing skill and teamwork. It branches into various forms, including handball, with a focus on footwork and timing. Slow motion highlights the importance of timing and technique. An instructor demonstrates spin and angle. The game, now called jai alai, becomes a major sport in Mexico, with players using a wicker basket called the sesta. Highli players start young, earning significant salaries despite short careers due to the game's intensity. The game, requiring a three-wall court, is known for its speed and is popular in Spain, Mexico, and Cuba, requiring skill, speed, and stamina. It is managed similarly to boxing and horse racing, highlighting the athleticism required.

"The Negro Farmer: Extension Work for Better Farming and Better Living" (1938) was made by the United States Dept. of Agriculture with assistance from the Tuskegee Institute. It features music, entitled "Negro Melodies", from the Tuskegee Institute Choir directed by African American composer William L. Dawson. The film has been assessed as a condescending, paternalistic portrait of Black rural life that was intended to slow or stop the mass migration by Blacks to the North. The film features Redoshi (c. 1848 – 1937) (renamed Sally Smith by her enslaver, Washington Smith), a West African woman taken to Dallas County, Alabama in 1860. Redoshi was considered one of the two last surviving victims of the transAtlantic slave trade.

Dating to 1930 and considered lost, "The Road Home" by Forbes Randolph is a short all Black cast musical. It stars J. Arthur Gaines, R.M. Caver, Hinton Jones, Augustus Simons, Archie Cross, William Veasy, and Arthur Payne. It features the Kentucky Singers. The Kentucky Singers consisted of Robert Caver and Augustus Simons, with Edward Coleman as pianist. The group made four shorts: "Pickin' Cotton" (released December 13, 1930); "The Road Home" (November 1930); "Slave Days" (December 1930); "Welcome Home" (December 12, 1930).  In this emotionally charged short film, a group of Black soldiers waits anxiously in a dugout on the eve of a World War I battle. As they wrestle with fear, superstition, and the uncertainty of war, their conversation turns philosophical, reflecting on the meaning of life, death, hatred, and duty. Some try to distract themselves with card games or humor, while others find solace in prayer and spiritual songs. When orders come to capture prisoners, they charge into battle. Afterward, one soldier, Shorty, is found gravely wounded but heroically holding three enemy prisoners alone. As he lies dying, his comrades gather around him in prayer and song, mourning his sacrifice and finding a solemn moment of unity and reverence in the face of war’s harsh reality. Note: More than 370,000 African Americans served in the U.S. Army during WWI, although they were often relegated to support roles and segregated units. Despite facing discrimination and prejudice, many African American soldiers served with distinction, some even earning honors from the French military.  Forbes Randolph was a director, producer, and sketch writer known for his work in theatrical productions, particularly in the 1930s.

“Adventure of the Mind” (1979) is an episode of the six-part "Series on Personal Computing" films hosted by John Hertzler in collaboration with Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory. This episode focuses on the three major computer applications: data processing, control, and design. Hertzler navigates the maze of software, hardware and modern computing. It begins with Hertzler's futile attempts to balance his checkbook by hand using a calculator. Perhaps a computer presents an alternative to this form of accounting?  He then examines the rise of computers beginning with innovations put forth by Blaise Pascal and Charles Babbage’s analytical engine. Hertzler explores the five main components of computing machines Babbage originally envisioned; memory, output, control and arithmetic. He shows how modern computing operations still trace the same path. He defines the difference between hardware and software, the role of memory components such as magnetic tape and disk packs, input devices including keyboards and output devices such as printers and video screens. He also highlights the central processing unit; the CPU, and the arithmetic logic unit; or the ALU. These technological innovations paved the way for computer software such as Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel. The final section shows a demonstration using a program designed to calculate basketball team statistics. Much of the equipment used in the film was manufactured by the tech giant IBM. 

00:00 Hertzler begins with scratch and paper to balance his checkbook (1:11). Challenges of human error plummet him into frustration. He turns back to the late 17th century as the adding machine was dreamed up (2:13) exploring works by Blaise Pascal showing his photograph (2:17) and a replica of Bl...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/99432ac3-548c-4fd5-92e1-d81d5e9a68f9/335b0029-82f7-4391-a8a9-4566f3023f2b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jVFmp9VsuBBj55joMztD9e</video:player_loc><video:duration>903</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T18:55:42.892Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5cWYDwKMLAmAN36377Vdwh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d95fd06e-b7d0-4368-a8e0-51c24beb31b0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE NEW RIDE " 1970s HONDA MINI BIKE RIDER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONAL FILM   SM11005</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

One of a series of motorcycle riding instructional films released by Honda, "The New Ride" (produced late 1960s or early 1970s) provides a comprehensive overview of minibikes and their operation, emphasizing both the fun and the responsibility that comes with it. This film was produced by Vix-Winkle Productions at a time when off-road motorcycle riding was causing friction between riders and the public, and the film tries to educate riders about how to reduce their environmental impact and noise pollution. It begins by comparing the timeless thrill of riding with the growing popularity of minibikes among kids, noting the importance of safety in enjoying the activity. Unlike bicycles, minibikes are motorized and require a more serious approach to riding, particularly avoiding public streets where they're difficult to see and pose hazards. The film stresses the need for proper training in safe, supervised environments, beginning with learning bike controls and progressing through practice in braking, steering, and balance. Riders taught the importance of wearing protective gear such as helmets, gloves, and boots, and conducting pre-ride maintenance checks. It also covers transporting minibikes safely, finding approved places to ride and respecting the environment and others on the trail. Courtesy to fellow riders, landowners, and wildlife is a recurring theme. The film ends by encouraging community support for designated off-street riding areas and reinforces that a strong safety attitude helps preserve the future of minibike riding.

00:00 The film opens with a nostalgic look at the thrill of riding, comparing the historic joy of horseback riding with the modern excitement of minibikes.

Released in 1909 by Pathe, "Moscow Clad in Snow" is a short silent documentary film directed by Frenchman Joseph-Louis Mundwiller about winter in Moscow 1908. The film is in four parts. First, the camera pans the Kremlin and Marshal's Bridge. Sleds are parked in rows. Horse-drawn sleighs run up and down a busy street. Next, we visit the mushroom and fish market where common people work and shop. In Petrovsky Park are the well-to-do. Men are in great coats. A file of six or seven women ski past on a narrow lane. Last, there's a general view of Moscow. A slow pan takes us to a view above the riverfront where the film began. These winter scenes in Moscow were shot during the time of the Czar, and almost a decade before the Russian Revolution would change the country's culture forever.

This silent promo film for the Pirates of the Caribbean rideand likely dates to 1973, when the ride debuted at Disney World. It was apparently made so that TV news stations could air a segment about the ride, which would then be narrated by local on-air talent. The segment includes shots of a ride operator (:20) testing the animatronic elements of the attraction. 

The ride tells the story of a band of pirates in the West Indies islands around the Caribbean Sea in the 17th and 18th centuries with the saga of their voyages, troubles, and exploits. The original version of the ride opened at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, in 1967, and was the last ride whose construction was envisioned and personally overseen by Walt Disney, who died three months before it opened.

This reel of silent underwater and SCUBA footage likely dates to 1970, when the submersible Aluminaut was used for various scientific experiments off the coast of Vieques, Puerto Rico. This included a series of tests measuring the reflectivity of the seabed to acoustic waves. It's not clear what this footage documents but begins with shots of an underwater structure, possibly pilings for an oil rig, covered with plankton or algae. At (2:41) a diver interacts with sharks.  At (3:14) are shots of coral beds. At (7:26) are shots of the Aluminaut underwater, with divers working on the front of the submersible -- apparently attaching a dye marker bottle to the front of the submersible. At (14:42) are shots of the submersible's support vessel, followed by shots of divers sitting on the deck of the Aluminaut. 

The Aluminaut was the world's first aluminum submarine, an experimental deep-ocean research vessel built by Reynolds Metals Company in 1964. It was designed to operate at depths of up to 15,000 feet and was known for its unique specifications, including a 51-foot hull and a high strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminaut is best known for helping recover a lost unarmed U.S. hydrogen bomb in 1966 and recovering its smaller fellow deep-submergence vehicle, DSV Alvin in 1969, after Alvin had been lost and sank in the Atlantic Ocean the previous year. After retirement, Aluminaut was donated to the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond, where it is on permanent display.

This film "Landscapes with Angels / A History of Los Angeles" (1974) was made by Margaret Lesser Bach, who was a filmmaker, author and historic preservationist. Score by Katherine Quittner. The movie traces L.A.’s vibrant and tumultuous lifeline from its humble beginnings as a Spanish settlement to the bustling, overcrowded hotspot it is today. Modern L.A. was created by the railroads; the Southern Pacific arrived in 1876 and the Santa Fe in 1885. The newly formed Chamber of Commerce launched an aggressive campaign to enhance tourism and migration to the city. Initially, it was a "golden city" which presented an opportunity for the good life for all. New residents were dubbed Angelenos. The movie industry thrust L.A. into the limelight and real estate became an aggressive industry with brutal sales tactics and subdivisions. The film shows the development of the 1913 LA water aqueduct which led to explosive growth, segregated cities and fractured communities. The film looks at the city's diverse communities and shows the struggle to unearth its real roots and efforts being made to preserve its history. The city’s sprawl led to fragmentation and the rise of the 20th Century freeway system came to symbolize the dominance of the automobile. This is a tale of transformative change and growing pains. 

00:00 It opens with Aimee Semple McPherson speaking and a Hollywood Golden Era parade (:10) and then shows the Los Angeles City Hall (:24). Main titles. Sketches and photos show the settlement period (1:19). The Spring Street Courthouse (1:34) and an 1849 surveyors map (2:22).

The short film chronicles Joe Louis’s January 9, 1942 charity fight against Buddy Baer, highlighting Louis’s patriotism for donating his entire purse to the war effort. This was the second Joe Louis vs. Buddy Baer fight, at Madison Square Garden. It was a charity event for the Navy Relief Fund, and Louis won by first-round knockout in 2 minutes and 56 seconds. Louis knocked Baer down three times before the final count. The film shows Louis' calm confidence before the match, Wendell Willkie’s tribute to both fighters for their example of national unity, and the fight itself—an explosive first-round knockout that reinforces Louis’s dominance and character. The closing moments underscore Louis’s humility, sportsmanship, and dedication to his country.

0:00 – The film opens at Joe Louis’s training camp in Greenwood Lake, New York, where he is preparing to defend his heavyweight title against the 250-pound Buddy Baer. This fight is described as one of the most unusual in boxing history because Louis risks his championship without accepting any payment.0:26 – The narrator explains that Louis donated his entire $70,000 purse to support the war effort, showing his patriotism.

Presented by Datsun on behalf of the U.S. Ski Team, and produced and directed by Rodney Jacobs and Freewheelin' Films (https://freewheelinfilms.net/), "Search for Speed" (1977) follows Andy Mill, the top U.S. downhill skier, as he prepares for the final 1976 World Cup race of the season in his hometown of Aspen, Colorado. Reflecting on a successful year that included a strong Olympic performance, Andy emphasizes the discipline and year-round dedication required for downhill skiing—a sport he describes as the most thrilling and dangerous of all. As racers tackle the steep, technical Aspen course at speeds exceeding 80 mph, Andy trains intensely despite ongoing knee injuries. A crash during training leaves him with limited course knowledge, putting him at a disadvantage on race day. Meanwhile, European racers, especially Austria's Franz Klammer, dominate. Although Andy's fall during the race prevents a strong finish, he expresses determination to continue racing, with hopes of competing in the 1980 Olympics. (Note: Mill did compete in 1980 and finished 16th in the downhill event.)

This episode of Biography dates to 1962, and aims to provide an overview of Senator Joseph McCarthy's life, his methods, the political environment of his time, and the consequences of his actions, capturing the essence of one of the most polarizing figures in American political history.

This short film "Filming A World Without Sun" promotes the Oscar winning documentary made by Jacques Cousteau and released in 1964. In the film, the legendary oceanographer explores Continental Shelf Station Two (or Conshelf Two), an early-1960s attempt at underwater living located 10 meters below the surface of the Red Sea off the coast of Sudan. Subjected to constant observation and medical experimentation, the six men taking part in the experiment have air, food, water, electricity and other life essentials, as well as a small two-man submarine that they can use for underwater exploration.

00:00 The film introduces the concept of modern man exploring new frontiers, not only in outer space but also on Earth, specifically highlighting the true story of the "Denise" diving saucer and the undersea city.0:52 The story begins in France, where prefabricated underwater buildings are constructed under the direction of famed undersea explorer Commander Jacques-Yves Cousteau, designed to allow men to live and work on the ocean floor for extended periods.1:11 Once completed, the prefabricated city is transported across the Mediterranean and through the Suez Canal to the Red Sea.1:30 "Conshelf 2," a coral reef off the coast of Sudan, is selected as the building site for the world's first underwater city. Cousteau, as project director and honorary mayor, has dedicated his life to undersea exploration.1:48 Cousteau predicts that one day man will walk on the seabed, driven by the vast natural resources (oil, minerals, food, gems) found on the ocean floor, which are greater than those on land. This expedition is a major step in proving man can live, work, and play underwater.2:17 Motion picture cameras are designed to follow Cous...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/79af5675-9736-4a08-a9af-08589cf4c1f1/feed8e1d-3def-458d-844a-846e3c2ff6bd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/g2w3rpy9HaKnJo9qADfgVk</video:player_loc><video:duration>319</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T19:47:07.536Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/c7My4dSjV3SBe9wADcWGaw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2e58cdfd-86a3-409d-b9c8-57bba973b754.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE COASTS OF CLYDE "  1959 BRITISH TRANSPORT FILM   FIRTH OF CLYDE, SCOTLAND TRAVELOGUE GG45175</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to 1934 and released by Exploration Pictures Corporation, "Intramuros: The Walled City of Manila" presents a historical and cultural portrait of Manila in the early 20th century, during the final years of American colonial rule in the Philippines. It contrasts modernized Americanized Manila with the preserved Spanish-era district of Intramuros, highlighting its ancient walls, churches, monasteries, and the University of Santo Tomas—older than Harvard and deeply rooted in Catholic tradition. The narration explores colonial legacies, such as Spanish fortifications, torture chambers, and the influence of language and governance on native representation. Everyday life is depicted through scenes of calazas (local transport), nipa huts vulnerable to typhoons, and fish drying practices. In contrast, the video shows the affluence of some American officials and the budding local film industry. It ends with a focus on Fort Pilar, now a religious shrine believed to have miraculous healing powers, especially for children, blending faith, tradition, and community resilience in the Filipino experience.

Dating to 1957, "Navajo Night Dances" was part of the Cultural Heritage Series, produced by Walter Lewisohn Associates in cooperation with The National Council of American Indians and distributed by Coronet Films. It presents Navajo dances that are part of the nine day Mountain Chant Ritual.
The setting is established with wide shots of Monument Valley, showcasing its iconic buttes and mesas, with scenes of Navajo people traveling through this landscape, some on horseback and others in horse-drawn carriages. The narrative then transitions to daily life activities around a camp setting. Here, we see preparations for meals, particularly the making of fry bread, with women kneading, shaping, and frying dough. This communal activity involves various family members, from children to elders, highlighting social bonds and traditional food preparation.

The film then captures parts of the Mountain Chant's rituals:

Great Feathered Arrow Dance: Four men, adorned with eagle feathers, perform a ceremonial dance involving arrows, symbolizing perhaps purification or protection. They move in unison, performing intricate movements with the arrows.
Feather Dance: A young girl, with eagle feathers, performs a dance where feathers on a rug are animated by movements from behind the scenes, suggesting a spiritual or magical element where the feathers themselves "dance." This is accompanied by chanting and drumming, emphasizing the connection between dance, music, and spiritual practice.
Fire Dance: Men dressed in white with painted faces dance around a large bonfire at night.

Made by McDonnell Aircraft Corporation to promote their highly successful aircraft, this film "The F4H Navy Fighter" (1960?) showcases the tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber. This aircraft entered service with the Navy in 1961 and was later adopted by the Marine Corps and the Air Force. Production ran from 1958-81 with a total of 5,195 aircraft built, making it the most produced American supersonic military aircraft in history. It was powered by two General Electric J79-2 engines and features advanced radar, armament control systems. As the film shows, the aircraft underwent rigorous flight and structural testing before its first flight on May 27, 1958. Future upgrades, including improved radar and missile systems, are discussed in the narration. According to the film (and this was borne out as true) the F4H1 significantly surpasses previous aircraft in performance and provides the Navy with a powerful new fighter.

Dating to 1956, "Knowing is Not Enough" is a United States Steel (USS) safety training film. The film explores the critical role of human behavior and decision-making in preventing accidents, both in a professional setting (car racing), in daily life and when working at USS. It highlights the concept that merely knowing safety procedures is insufficient; one must act on that knowledge.

The film uses the narrative of an amateur USS race car team, "The Four Aces", whose driver crashes due to a series of seemingly minor oversights and impulsive decisions by the crew. This incident becomes a catalyst for their boss in the USS loading yard to introduce a new safety campaign centered on identifying and overcoming "imps" – Impatience, Impulsive, Improvising, and Impunity – which are states of mind that lead people to disregard safety knowledge. Accidents are often caused by these "imps" overriding one's better judgment, and that recognizing and combating them is essential for safety.

This silent home movie was shot during WWII by an unknown amateur photographer. It features footage of a trip to Colorado in November 1942, and also footage shot in summer of 1944 through what might be early 1945. This includes a cameo appearance by Gen. Henry "Hap" Arnold at the Rose Bowl. Other featured locations include Colorado's Garden of the Gods, along with other nearby attractions such as the Broadmoor Hotel on Cheyenne Mountain Road and the Will Rogers Shrine of the Sun. The 1944 section shows California, showcasing views of the Mission San Juan Capistrano Museum and its lush garden in San Juan Capistrano, as well as scenes from Laguna Beach, Balboa, and Will Rogers State Historic Park in the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles.

Dating to 1977, "Some Call it Software" was produced by IBM. The film defines the meaning of 'software' inferring to the programs, flowcharts, and other documents and instructions people must prepare enabling a computer to perform its task. As an illustration, programmers are shown studying traffic problems in a large city and designing a software package for improving traffic flow on two major highways in New York City.  The film features the IBM System/370 (S/370) mainframe computers, which represented the company's primary large mainframe offering from the 1970s through the 1980s.

Summary: The film discusses the relationship between human creativity and technology in the context of music and computing. It starts by explaining how a piano needs human creativity to produce music, which is communicated through musical notations. It then describes the evolution of technology in music, highlighting the player piano, which could play music automatically using machine instructions on scrolls. The film draws a parallel between the player piano and modern computers, explaining how both rely on instructions (software) to perform tasks. It emphasizes the role of programmers, who create software solutions to instruct computers, much like composers create music. An example is given of a programming task to improve traffic flow in New York City, illustrating the process of understanding the problem, designing a plan, and implementing a software solution.

Overall, the text highlights the importance of human creativity and ingenuity in utilizing technology to solve problems and create harmonious solutions.

Dating to the early 1950s, "Battery Maintenance" is a Bell Telephone training film that explains the importance and operation of lead acid storage batteries in telephone systems. It was produced by Arthur H. Smith and photographed by Gordon Anderson. It covers how these batteries provide power to telephone equipment, especially during power outages, and describes the different types of batteries used. The text also details the components and chemical processes of lead-acid storage batteries, including how they charge and discharge. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of proper maintenance, safety measures, and regular checks to ensure the batteries function correctly and efficiently.

0:40 - 1:00: Telephone equipment, regardless of location, relies on a battery plant for operation.

1:00 - 1:31: Most telephone equipment is powered by direct current (DC) converted from alternating current (AC) by motor generator sets or rectifiers. In case of AC supply interruption, storage batteries ensure continued operation.

1:31 - 2:00: Storage batteries are crucial for telephone plants, representing significant investment. They provide power during outages until emergency equipment can be activated.

2:00 - 2:23: Different types of storage batteries are used, including older open tank types and newer hard rubber and glass jar types.

Positive plates are made of lead peroxide...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6ef1230e-29a1-4307-844a-d240d99d34a3/ba376704-acb8-4353-876f-d6d902595224-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eGzpd17XsB7GBvWadi8sVi</video:player_loc><video:duration>1138</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T20:26:21.709Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ndfo8nhS5uhm8W9E8Yq7gL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a124d433-cf56-4087-93d8-e9a009bf13dd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" COMES THE REVOLUTION! "  1941 WILLIE HOWARD VAUDEVILLE SKIT 57404</video:title><video:description>This short film "Comes the Revolution" dates to 1941. Here, an Eastern European immigrant and soapbox rabble-rouser (Willie Howard) contends with an unruly audience of one (Al Kelly). In a faux accent, Willie exhorts "the workers" to "throw off the yoke of oppression" while his heckler interrupts him.  It's essentially a brief vaudeville routine captured for posterity. The star of this was "Borscht-Belt" actor Willie Howard, a noted "dialect" comic whose accent would have been familiar to a generation of Americans who came from Poland, Germany, Russia or Eastern Europe.  In short, the routine was targeted primarily at urban Jewish audiences. Howard was fairly well known in Hollywood, appearing in The Smart Way (1937), How to Go to a French Restaurant (1941) and Playboy Number One (1937).

This Bell Telephone training film (circa 1960s) "Centralized Key Telephone Installations" features Dave Russell, an AT&amp;T engineer, discussing centralized key telephone installations. He emphasizes the importance of space, equipment, and effort in these installations. Space involves conduits, Raceway systems, and closets; equipment includes backboards, connecting blocks, and apparatus mountings; effort refers to the installation process.

Russell introduces the term "horsetails" for dangling cable pairs and stresses the need for standardization and organized approaches to pre-planned closets. He presents a new cross-connecting arrangement that takes up half the space of current methods, accommodating 100 lines and 160 stations using modular backboards with growth potential.

The closet is divided into four color-coded areas: green for CO and PBX, blue for stations, red for key features, and yellow for auxiliary services. He describes seven new hardware items, including four backboards, a new connecting block, a standoff bracket, and a designation strip.

Russell details the process of building an apparatus closet and a satellite closet, explaining the tie cable between them. He concludes by highlighting the benefits of the new arrangement, such as space savings and reduced effort, and emphasizes the importance of standardization.

Dating to the late 1930s (post-1936),  “The Making of a Newspaper” is a silent documentary that shows the production of the Sun-Telegraph, a Hearst newspaper in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The film shows the newsroom, and how news stories were reported via wire telegraph, cable and radio. Here, the drama of reporting on the grounding of the liner SS Morro Castle serves a fodder. The film also discusses the International News Service (INS) a newswire formed by Hearst Communications in 1909. In this era, Hearst was beginning to distribute films under the newly formed MGM and Hearst/MGM would co-produce Hearst Metrotone Newsreels. The Sun-Telegraph ceased operations in 1960 when it was purchased by the rival Post-Gazette.

00:00 Film opens on the street corner with a paper boy (:10). The title screen follows (:14). The Pittsburgh Sun Telegraph (:22) was an evening paper established in 1927. Continental maps (1:09) note locations Hearst served. The logo for the Sun Telegraph (2:35) mentions the merger of two smaller local papers in 1927 leading to the formation of the Sun Telegraph. The SS Morro Castle’s distress call arrives (2:56); in 1934, the ship caught fire. The Monarch of Bermuda acted as rescue vessel. The telegraphist (3:44) types the distress signal received in New York on September 8th 1934. The Monarch radios an INS office (4:03). Within the bustling newsroom (4:28), journalists holler behind typewriters. The telegraph film and sprocket are pictured (4:40). News gets typed, ripped from the writer (4:42) and passed off (4:45). The Monarch reaches Morro Castle (5:25). Captain Francis’s swift actions (5:35) are radioed in. The telegraphist hammers a telegraph (5:47) for the newsroo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8536c358-aeac-4cc2-b2d3-7adcd29d7698/6330c603-f21e-4003-904e-6429c6250c94-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hs6cM44bPY9dfKUKHiDxZs</video:player_loc><video:duration>2672</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T20:54:30.855Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uCkSc7Q4sNTWYeJSbRnMAL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/750d3f46-f19a-4c67-a605-fa63728ee992.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" ARCTIC MISSION "  1955 WESTERN ELECTRIC ACTIVITIES IN SUPPORT OF DEW LINE   COLD WAR  GG45475</video:title><video:description>Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This 1955 progress report by Western Electric "Arctic Mission" describes the construction of the Distant Early Warning or DEW Line, a radar system for continental defense in the Arctic. This system, built by Western Electric and Bell System units, stretches from Alaska across Canada to Baffin Bay. Establishing bases in the Arctic required aircraft to supply and maintain personnel initially. Early camps were supplied by air until larger equipment and facilities could be established.
USAF C-124 Globe Masters delivered heavy equipment for constructing permanent airfields. 
A sea lift was prepared to transport materials. Landing craft delivered materials to Arctic shores for DEW line construction. The Mackenzie River used to transport materials. Additional transportation routes were established, including a land cargo train called "The Monster." Road construction faced challenges from thawing ground. Building modules were assembled in tents and transported to sites on sleds. Pilings were set in the frozen tundra for building foundations. Bulk fuel storage tanks were built during summer months. Construction camps were well-established, with supplies sorted and stored for winter. Much has been accomplished, but more work remains to complete the radar stations and electronic detection equipment.

Dating to the 1920s, this silent, tinted film "Twas the Night Before Christmas" from Cine Art productions was inspired by Clement C. Moore's famous poem. Unfortunately the film lacks production credits and a release date, but judging from the format it is probably from the late 1920s or early 1930s. The film includes both live action and animated segments, including cartoons depicting Santa's reindeer and sleigh.

This reel presents a number of "Hymnalogues" . These were lovely short films created by Neil E. McGuire, released by Audio Visual Devotional Aids Productions, and photographed by Phil E. Cantonwine circa 1945. At least four Christmas shorts were produced (including "O Little Town of Bethlehem") as well as an unknown number of other religious films; this reel presents three hymnalogues: "Silent Night, Holy Night", "Come All Ye Faithful" and "Onward, Christian Soldiers". These were apparently sung by a group called the ADA Crusaders Quartet (or possibly the AVDA Crusaders Quartet?). The beautiful animated miniatures and 3-D backgrounds were all constructed by McGuire, who created artwork and visual effects for intertitles during the silent film era. 

At 1:06, a creche, nativity scene or Christmas scene with figurines is shown. At 3:17, "Come All Ye Faithful", with text appearing over images of a heavenly sky, a church tower, a California mission with palm trees, and a priest emerging from a church after services. At 5:54, "Onward Christian Soldiers", with images of actual U.S. Army troops and Christian crosses. The footage is also intercut with images of California missions. The brief film ends with footage of children, including hispanic children, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, walking past the camera and into a church. At 8;25 they are seen walking out of a Salvation Army post.

This untitled, uncredited silent color home movie shows what it was like to attend a "Senior Scout encampment". These were special residencies for Boy Scouts in Region Seven which were held at Selfridge, Chanute and Scott Air Force Bases. The film, which was likely made in 1948 or 49, details for the viewer the day to day activities and lessons of the Senior Scouts. (The Boy Scout of America or BSA created a “Senior Scout” division for boys 15 and older in 1935. The Senior Scout programs included the Sea Scouts, Air Scouts, Explorer Scouts, Rover Scouts, and a few others. Explorer Scouts focused on advanced camping and worked on advancement leading to the Ranger Award. Senior Scouts was not a specified program but rather a collection of programs that covered different skills like air scouting, sea scouting, and explorer scouting among others. This particular film, covers the Senior Scout air scouting program.)

Dating to 1958, "Growing Up (Preadolescence)" was produced by Coronet Films about child development and health. The film discusses normal growth patterns and variations. It describes the changes in growth patterns for twins Peggy and Nikki. Peggy has grown significantly taller and gained weight, outgrowing her winter clothes from last year, while Nikki has grown but not as much. The film explains that girls and boys generally grow at similar rates until around ages 6 to 11, after which some girls, like Peggy, begin to grow faster. Boys, like Nikki, often experience their growth spurts later. The film also discusses how growth is controlled by endocrine glands, with the pituitary gland affecting height and the thyroid gland affecting weight and feelings. It highlights that different parts of the body grow at different rates, and emphasizes the importance of maintaining good health through a balanced diet, exercise, and sufficient sleep for normal growth.
Overall, the film illustrates that growing up is an uneven process, varying between individuals and between boys and girls, and that each person grows in their own unique way.

•  0:35: The excitement of planning for cooler weather and checking if last year's clothes fit.

•  0:46: Peggy tries on a jacket from last year, and Nikki will try on his clothes next.

•  0:57: Peggy and Nikki are twins, born on the same day.

•  1:06: Peggy has outgrown her skirt from last year, having grown taller and gained weight.

•  1:36: Nikki tries on trousers from last year; he has grown but not as much as Peggy.

•  2:10: Last year, Peggy and Nikki were the same height, but now Peggy is taller.

•  2:46: Girls and boys generally grow at the same rat...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f6b0ec0d-ab9a-43bd-aeff-56b1d2998a0c/f82345c2-4790-4712-8adc-a551bd2c7919-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wsPKfa7UE18LuHcD9Dwb9m</video:player_loc><video:duration>644</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T21:13:04.095Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sgYA2myo8GkKviyUWAf7Xq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bde4151c-981e-49fd-8704-492254b39cdf.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SOVIET ATOMIC BOMB &amp; HYDROGEN BOMB TESTS    SEMIPALATINSK TEST SITE  LAKE CHAGAN XD30071</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This reel of historic Soviet atomic bomb explosions starts with tests at the Semipalatinsk Test Site in the early 1950s, including shockwave effects tests on buildings, trenches and vehicles.  The Semipalatinsk Test Site, also known as "The Polygon", was the primary testing venue for the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons.  It is located on the steppe in northeast Kazakhstan (then the Kazakh SSR), south of the valley of the Irtysh River. The Soviet Union conducted 456 nuclear tests at Semipalatinsk from 1949 until 1989 with little regard for their effect on the local people or environment. The full impact of radiation exposure was hidden for many years by Soviet authorities and has only come to light since the test site closed in 1991.

The test shown at 1:08 is  the third atomic bomb developed by the Soviet Union. On October 18, 1951, this device known as RDS-3 (RDS codeword stands for Reaktivnyi Dvigatel Specialnyi or 'Special Jet Engine') became the first air dropped test of a nuclear device by the Soviets. The test was known as Joe-3 in the West. It was detonated at an altitude of four hundred meters.

At 1:50 the first Soviet H-Bomb test is shown, from August 12, 1953. Work on this so-called super-bomb or hydrogen bomb had begun in 1946, three years before the Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb. In the West this was known as the Joe 4 or in the Soviet Union RDS-6s. It detonated with a force equivalent to 400 kilotons of TNT. Scholars dispute the authenticity of RDS-6 as a thermonuclear device as it did not manage to produce a yield consistent with a true hydrogen bomb.

The test at 2:50 is from November 22, 1955, RDS-37, the Soviet Union's first two-stage hydrogen bomb. The weapon had a nominal yield of approximately 3 megatons. It was scaled down to 1.6 megatons for the live test. More of this test is shown a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d4c8a26b-1c84-438b-9268-6fff5fd7d176/db8158ae-9b05-443b-a148-cfae8b6d1be1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sgYA2myo8GkKviyUWAf7Xq</video:player_loc><video:duration>520</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T21:14:46.433Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pCnHt1kDXgTgipo8EyUMte</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7e0cb1ab-3895-45f5-a838-b29c99048430.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" MEETING THE CHALLENGE "  1957 CHEVROLET TRUCKS PROMOTIONAL FILM   PIKE'S PEAK RUN COLORADO  87385</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

“Meeting the Challenge” is a short black-and-white film made in 1957 by General Motors’ Chevrolet Motor Division. The kind of film you'd never be able to make today (owing to environmental concerns), "Meeting the Challenge" features a formidable climb by any truck -- right up the side of Pike's Peak. A Jam Handy Film, this promotional film touts Chevrolet trucks and opens with a convoy making its way down the Alcan Highway (Alaska Highway). Having met that challenge in 1956, the narrator explains starting at mark 01:00, Chevrolet will have to find a tougher road test — or an off-road test — as we see a shot of Pike’s Peak in Colorado. “It thunders its defiance and Chevrolet accepts the challenger,” the announcer boasts at mark 01:15. What follows are images of mechanics certifying two standard production model, 4-wheel drive Task Force pick-up trucks for the trek as they then traverse old Gold Camp road railway tunnels near Colorado Springs toward the mountain base. The trucks then leave the road and cross rugged terrain … “Pike’s Peak or Bust!” On they climb, past mountain lakes and through timberland as the engines strain but keep going. “Offering conclusive evidence that Chevrolet trucks have that ‘Never say die’ dependability needed on every job,” says the announcer at mark 03:25. The trucks are shown pushing forward, as the narrator unloads superlative adjectives to describe the performance of the vehicles. The peak comes into sight at mark 05:00, and although they face a vast field of boulders and rocks at mark 06:00, they soon find themselves “conquering the unconquerable” as a Task Force plows ahead. The dramatic music swells until the truck reaches the summit at mark 07:55, “...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bf5658e1-ee14-4cf9-bc89-c6fbbd4ea51f/6bdc4c5c-3a7a-4249-8b00-6486f1cb4644-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pCnHt1kDXgTgipo8EyUMte</video:player_loc><video:duration>606</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T21:16:08.783Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3r74KrN2E63DZnKsw71yeJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a7030fd7-fb70-4de7-921a-a204088e6a22.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE CLOCK "  1963 ATLANTA 500 AUTO RACE DOCUMENTARY  GG22125</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to 1963, "The Clock" is presented by Ramsey Corporation, maker of Ramco Harmonized Piston Ring sets. The film provides a detailed account of the 1963 Atlanta 500 race, starting with Nelson Stacy's crash while the narrator is ruminating the impersonal nature of time. The film highlights the precision required in time trials, Junior Johnson's record-setting qualifying run, and the preparations of other notable drivers. The narrative covers pre-race activities, including safety clinics and pit crew contests, and describes the anticipation and delays due to rain. As the race begins, Junior Johnson takes an early lead but faces car troubles, allowing AJ Foyt and others to compete for the lead. The race is marked by mechanical failures, pit stops, and intense competition, with Fireball Roberts and Fred Lorenzen emerging as key contenders. Drivers struggle with carbon monoxide poisoning, and Lorenzen ultimately wins the race. The film ends as the narrator reflects on the significance of time in racing and the various factors that contributed to Lorenzen's victory.

"Endocrine Glands: How They Affect You" dates to 1956. The film uses animation to show the location of endocrine glands in the human body and to explain how hormones which are secreted by these glands affect growth, metabolism, sexual development, and behavior. Discusses the use of animal hormones in the treatment of human diseases. It explains how people differ in physical appearance, personality, and behavior due to hormones secreted by endocrine glands. These glands include the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, pineal, thymus, islands of Langerhans, adrenals, and sex glands. The pituitary gland, located in the head, is crucial for growth and other bodily functions, secreting hormones that regulate other endocrine glands.

The thyroid gland controls metabolism speed through thyroxin, and iodine is essential for its function. The parathyroids regulate calcium metabolism, affecting bones, teeth, and blood clotting. The pancreas contains the islands of Langerhans, which secrete insulin to regulate blood sugar, and insufficient insulin causes diabetes.

The adrenal glands produce hormones like cortisone and adrenaline, which prepare the body for emergencies. The sex glands produce hormones that develop and maintain sexual characteristics and reproductive functions. Hormones regulate many bodily processes, including puberty and reproduction, through complex interactions among endocrine glands.

Advances in endocrinology have led to treatments for various conditions, and ongoing research continues to uncover new discoveries.

This film "Gunship II Development and Initial Deployment" dates to 1968. It profiles the C-130 Hercules which was modified into the AC-130 Gunship II, equipped with advanced electronic targeting systems and powerful side-firing Gatling guns. These modifications included adding safety features like polyurethane foam in fuel tanks, insulating the sensor operator's booth, and installing heavy armor plating.

The AC-130 underwent extensive testing and modifications to ensure its effectiveness in combat. It was deployed to Southeast Asia, where it flew over 70 combat missions, demonstrating its devastating firepower and accuracy in night attacks. The aircraft proved highly effective in destroying enemy targets and supporting ground operations.

0:39 - 1:05: The C-130 Hercules is versatile, used for transporting cargo, troops, passengers, and patients. It supports TAC air strike deployment, launches drones, performs air rescues, and serves as a tanker for helicopters.

1:14 - 1:34: The C-130 also recovers satellite capsules, performs photomapping, tracks storms, supports Antarctic operations, and is used by the Navy, Coast Guard, and 13 foreign countries.

1:40 - 2:11: At Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, the C-130 was modified into a night attack aircraft, the AC-130 Gunship II, equipped with electronic targeting and eight side-firing Gatling guns.

Made by the McDonnell Corporation (before it became McDonnell Douglas), THE RECORD BREAKING PHANTOM II presents the story of the F-4 Phantom,  a tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber originally developed for the United States Navy. The aircraft first entered service in 1960 with the U.S. Navy. Proving highly adaptable, it was also adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force, and by the mid-1960s had become a major part of their respective air wings. The film begins with an overview of the F-4, including its ability to carry tremendous numbers of stores, an ability to operate from both WWII type aircraft carriers and super carriers. At 2:40 the film begins to look at the Phantom's assault on various aviation performance records. At 3:00, Project Top Flight which proved the airplane's incredible climbing ability, is shown from Edwards Air Force Base. Commander Lawrence Earl Flint, Jr., set a Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) World Record for Altitude to 30,040 meters (98,556 feet). This was just short of the arbitrary 100,000 feet (30,480 meters) that delineated the beginning of space at the time. Diving back through 70,000 feet (21,336 meters), Flint restarted the engines and flew back to Edwards. Other closed course flights are seen at 7:00 to establish speed records with the aircraft over the Salton Sea from Edwards AFB. The plane with Col. Thomas Miller at the controls flew at 1216 mph average, 400 mph faster than the previous record. Commander John F. Davis is seen at 7:40, maneuvering by radar over a tight 100 mile course achieved 1390 mph.At 8:48, Sageburner is seen, designed to set new speed r...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/75aeaf97-2654-4cc0-b8dc-12f98a4398be/3cf4b8b7-53df-453c-8bbd-d14eb3410811-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fwRo3BEo3vT3kb6TzZZsd7</video:player_loc><video:duration>772</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T21:30:37.233Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5c9yAW8WAyFrdyNM67P3ho</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ee74936d-7248-443d-8d8d-da353305f532.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1969 POST MISSION HOMECOMING OF APOLLO 10 ASTRONAUTS   NORTH AMERICAN AVIATION DOWNEY, CALIF GG46295</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This (regrettably silent) film shows a post-mission visit made by crew members of Apollo 10 in the spring of 1969 to NASA’s Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston (now called the Johnson Space Center) or possibly, the North American Aviation complex in Downey, California. The Apollo 10 mission served as the dress rehearsal for the soon to follow lunar landing; Apollo 11. This mission was the fourth human spaceflight of the Apollo program and second to orbit the moon. The mission launched May 18, 1969 crewed by Thomas Stafford, John W. Young and Eugene Cernan. Named after the character in the Peanuts comic strip, "Charlie Brown" was the nickname of the Apollo 10 command module. The lunar module was nicknamed "Snoopy" because it was designed to "snoop" around the future landing site of Apollo 11. 

00:00 Fashion of the era is exemplified; (:11) women wearing big hair and 1960’s pastel dresses open the feature. The navy brass band blows (:14). A Charlie Brown banner (:29) welcomes friends to the address (:29). Peanuts characters were used as call signs for the mission. The creator of the Peanuts gang; Charles Schultz created a number of works for mission including the banner. Scenes pass around the stadium seats (:35); spectators wave for the camera. 1960’s era muscle cars drive in (:53). Spectators throw rice commemorating the occasion (1:10) as NASA officials and Apollo crew members move down a red carpeted entry. The press captures the occasion (1:46). Thomas Stafford (2:00) walks with rice confetti on his shoulders shaking hands with various officials (2:07). Eugene Cernan follows behind (2:08). The Navy band continues as crew members take the podium (2:15).

"Citizenship and You" is a Coronet Film from 1954, made for classroom use.  The film explores the concept of good citizenship through the eyes of a teenager, Larry, and his father. The film opens with Larry scrambling to finish his civics assignment, which asks him to list the qualities of a good citizen. As Larry and his father discuss the assignment, the conversation evolves into a deeper exploration of the responsibilities and privileges that come with being a good citizen. Through relatable real-life examples, Larry learns that citizenship goes beyond just voting in national elections. His father teaches him that being a good citizen involves being informed, participating in community actions, and fulfilling civic obligations. From voting in school elections to helping with a community petition and volunteering for charity work, Larry begins to see how his own actions reflect good citizenship. The film emphasizes that good citizenship isn't limited to adults—teens like Larry can also practice citizenship by participating in their school community, making decisions for the common good, and supporting causes that benefit others. The father-son dialogue ultimately leads Larry to understand that being a good citizen is an ongoing commitment to making one's community better for everyone. The film concludes with Larry gaining a new appreciation for his role in society, realizing that good citizenship is something he can practice now, not just when he becomes an adult. Citizenship And You highlights the importance of civic engagement, responsibility, and the ways individuals of all ages contribute to the well-being of their communities.

Produced and directed by Arthur H. Smith in 1954 for Pacific Telephone, "Detached Contact Schematics" was directed by C.A. Biniarz. This training film discusses the evolution of SD (schematic diagram) drawings from an "attached" form, where individual parts like relays and lamps were shown as complete units, to a "detached contact" type. The detached contact schematics separate information into class groups and use cross-referencing to coordinate information. This method simplifies understanding complex circuits by showing relay contacts with their functional paths rather than their physical relation to the relay coil. Sequence charts are included to show the order of operation and release of circuit components. The narrator also highlights the benefits of detached contact schematics, such as easier tracing of circuit paths and better organization, compared to older standard drawings.0:34 - 1:04: SD drawings were traditionally prepared in an "attached" form, showing individual parts like relays and lamps as complete physical units with circuit paths connecting them.1:04 - 1:38: This method was satisfactory for simpler circuits but became difficult to manage as switching systems grew more complex.1:38 - 2:00: The "detached contact" type SD was developed for new systems and major new circuits in existing systems.2:00 - 2:36: Detached contact schematics separate information into class groups and use cross-referencing to coordinate information. Circuit paths are shown in functional schematics, with parts performing separate operations shown detached.2:36 - 3:21: Relay contacts are shown with their functional paths, not their physical relation to the relay coil.

Personal footage from unknown American businessmen captures the tranquil serenity of a 1950’s Florida. A group of men in suits take their private camera to various sites in unidentified portions of the state on what appears to be a business retreat. Footage captures white sands, blue shorelines banked by lanky palms, a swanky club house and a golf course as well as small boats on the harbor. It opens with the group’s arrival at a train station disembarking from a New York Central train and loading into vintage automobiles. While New York Central trains no longer operate in Florida, the railroad in the 1950’s was the dominant form of long distance travel and Florida was experiencing a boom in population and in tourism. In order to serve longer routes, railroads often formed partnerships with other lines which extended farther south. The group continues to explore, taking a boat ride and tee off on the golf course.

Images feature personal shots of the travelers, amenities of the golf club and thick foliage common of Florida’s subtropical climate. Opening shots watch the businessmen in dark suits and fedoras arrive at the station (:10). They load into a small boat (:26). Shots pan over the marina (:30), boats and palm trees as the group settles in for a ride (:52). They tour white sandy beaches (1:45). Residential homes appear surrounded by thick tropical foliage (2:09). The group exits from a lanai (2:35) heading for trails (2:48) around the residence.

At the time, the unit represented the latest generation in magnetic tape technology, developed at IBM's Boulder, Colorado facility. IBM's commitment to excellence is emphasized, with extensive engineering and manufacturing knowledge at facilities in France and Japan. The recording process is explained, where the computer generates electrical signals to be recorded on the tape's surface, covered with microscopic iron oxide particles. The technology uses nine tracks with increased recording density, using the Non-Return to Zero IBM (NRZI) method. Skew and noise conditions can cause errors, which phase encoding aims to reduce. Phase encoding records transitions for every bit cell, with an electronic self-timing clock for each track. Data are recorded in eight tracks with a parity bit, and errors are corrected on the fly.

"Keep Em Out!" was produced by Stark Films in cooperation with the US Public Health Service. This film shows rats' habitats and their destructive and disease-spreading activities, in addition to rat elimination and control measures to be performed by the community. The film presents a declaration of war against rats, which are described as destructive and disease-carrying pests. Rats cause significant structural damage, contaminate food, and spread diseases like plague and typhus fever. The close association between rats and humans poses a health risk, and preventing this association is crucial. Public health officials recommend blocking rats' entry, eliminating nesting spaces, and catching and killing them. Rats are adaptable, eating almost anything and finding shelter in various buildings. They reproduce rapidly, making control efforts essential. Effective rat control involves eliminating rubbish, securing openings, and using rat-proof materials. Buildings storing food require extra protection, and regular inspections are necessary. Community efforts and knowledge are vital for successful rat control, with a focus on maintaining vigilance and implementing a well-planned program. The film concludes with a call to action to keep rats out and stay vigilant.

This IBM promo film "Improved Data Entry with the IBM 50 Magnetic Data Inscriber and the IBM 2495 Tape Cartridge Reader " dates to the era when magnetic tape was supplanting punch cards for data entry. The film introduces the IBM System/360 and the IBM 50 Magnetic Data Inscriber, designed to increase data entry speed by using magnetic tape instead of paper punch cards. The inscriber features a versatile keyboard and program level selection. The film demonstrates loading the tape cartridge and selecting programs, highlighting the keying process and error-checking features. Additional keyboard features and the completion of data inscribing are discussed. The verification process, including the use of a verification code, is explained, followed by a description of the IBM 2495 Tape Cartridge Reader, which reads data into the computer and allows for continuous operation. The versatility of the tape cartridge reader and its compatibility with other IBM equipment are emphasized. The film concludes with a summary of the benefits of the IBM 50 and 2495, including the fact that it is at least 25% more efficient than a card punch, and highlighting improved data handling techniques,.

The IBM System/360 (S/360) is a family of mainframe computer systems delivered between 1965 and 1978. System/360 was the first family of computers designed to cover both commercial and scientific applications and a complete range of applications from small to large. The System/360 family introduced IBM's Solid Logic Technology (SLT), which packed more transistors onto a circuit card, allowing more powerful but smaller computers.

“Don’t Fence Them In” (c.1940s) is an elaborate, silent color film documenting a day out at New York City’s Bronx Zoo. The film features detailed shots of animal species from around the world from Aldabra giant tortoises to polar bears and penguins. The film appears to be professionally made, but we have no idea who made it or why. 

Founded in 1898, the Bronx Zoo is one of the most famous zoos in the world. Aimed at preserving native animals and promoting zoology, the Bronx Zoo remains one of the largest wildlife conservation parks in the United States, housing 4,000 animals. The zoo made early efforts to pull animals out of cages, especially with the groundbreaking African Plains habitat (c.1941), which is featured in this film (16:09).

This film "IBM 1260 Electronic Inscriber / Solid Logic for the Banking Industry" probably dates to the early 1970s. It presents the IBM 1260 Electronic Inscriber for use by financial institutions. The 1260, first announced in 1965, was a proofing machine which could sort, list, inscribe and endorse checks and sort them into pockets. Three or five external stackers could optionally be added. It was manufactured by IBM Rochester until September 1971 and withdrawn on December 18, 1981.  

Background on this: prior to the introduction of computers, check processing was performed manually by each institution. IBM was interested in the automation of this processing and developed the IBM 801 Bank Proof machine in 1934. By eliminating handwritten ledgers, the IBM 801 effectively automated teller operations. By the mid 1950s many banks began to investigate how they could use new technology to help them handle the ever growing volume of cheques that needed to be processed on a daily basis.  This led to the development of machines by various companies including IBM, EMI, Burroughs, GE / Pitney-Bowes, and NCR.  Document processing in this era usually involved a workflow like this: (1) documents to be proofed would be loaded into the hopper of a proof machine and then fed through the machine one at a time. The operator would read the value of each document and key that value into the machine. The machine would keep a running total of amounts and usually print that out. The document would be inscribed, printing the value of the document onto the document, so it could be electrically read back by either the proof machine or a reader/sorter. It would then be endorsed,  by stamping the document, either on the f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8ff04c97-c29e-4543-b9e7-339ca0dfef23/a2146f17-7e98-4d1b-bbb4-909568c6ee08-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iLUgZGYdZ53wXpHbV2586V</video:player_loc><video:duration>538</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T23:09:11.824Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/j7vJ4V5KuBvWLrhkdMvZ4t</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8baf2769-25ac-4eba-9fbe-e2757221d873.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"  PLYWOOD: THE MIRACLE IN WOOD "  1953 DOUGLAS FIR PLYWOOD ASSOC.

“As Deep as the Heart” (1951) is a black-and-white scripted, fictional film made by the United States Army (film T.F.16 1693) that discusses the importance of moral and spiritual welfare to the American solider and the faith and belief in God at the center of American military prowess.

Presented by the Johnson Institute and produced and directed by Averill M. Kronick,  "The Enablers" (1980s) is a drama showing the struggles of a family dealing with a mother's alcoholism. The Johnson Institute was founded by Dr. Vernon Johnson who developed the Johnson Model of intervention. An intervention is an orchestrated attempt by one or many people – usually family and friends – to get someone to seek professional help with a substance use disorder. The Johnson Model focuses on creating a confrontation between a group of supporters and the addict in order to expose the addict to the consequences of their addiction. The confrontation serves to precipitate a crisis in the addict's life that is not threatening, damaging, or fatal, and is used to compel them into treatment before they are able to suffer irreparable social or physical damage as a result of their disease. In this dramatized film, the husband/father reflects on his instinct to protect his wife, which only worsens the situation. Their son, Brian, exhibits concerning behavior, and their daughter, Kim, confronts the father about the mother's drinking. Despite promises to ease up, the mother's drinking continues to cause tension and disruption, particularly during social gatherings and family events. The father tries to manage the situation and maintain normalcy, but the ongoing cycle of enabling behavior takes a toll on him. Ultimately, he realizes that seeking help is necessary, as the burden of the mother's alcoholism affects the entire family. The film stars Wayne Evenson, Barbara Granning, Shirley Kane, Frederick Livesay, Marilyn Murphy, Dolores Noah, James Noah, Steve Pringle, Clive Rosengreen, Mary Robin Roth, Kat...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1f81e3c6-20e0-4b91-8d00-edfb575f8dac/20e91a82-87fb-4166-ad3d-dd06f20288e7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4TEcAhuHf4eVZJX2jGwisU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1313</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T23:30:31.794Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nXPuq4B1iZPdPgAHo84Xyd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a412241c-3f7f-41e3-8f50-d2defad998c4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" NORTH SLOPE ALASKA "  1964 BP PROSPECTING &amp; DRILLING FOR OIL IN ALASKA DOCUMENTARY FILM  GG45195</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Created by the National Retail Merchants Association of New York and PK&amp;E Films in 1968, "Mission: Loss Prevention" is a managerial training film that discusses the issue of inventory shortages in retail stores. (Note: An inventory shortage occurs when there is a difference between the recorded and physical inventory. In other words -- shrinkage.) The film explains how these shortages occur, their financial impact, and the importance of preventing them. The text highlights various causes of inventory shortages, including retail theft / shoplifting, errors in record-keeping, and mistakes in pricing and customer service. It emphasizes that preventing inventory shortages is a key responsibility of managers and supervisors, as these shortages directly affect the store's profits. The film also provides examples of how inventory discrepancies can happen and the importance of adhering to company regulations to minimize losses. (Note: Saul D. Astor, president of Management Safeguards Inc., may be the uncredited host of this film.) 

Film starts with an arresting visual: a security officer who is asleep on the job is hit over the head by a criminal, and then a big truck backs up into the warehouse and an entire cargo container is stolen. 

1:12: Narrator: Introduction to inventory shortages, mentioning the hijack and the potential for insurance recovery.  Retail stores lose over $2 billion annually in inventory shortages that are often untraceable. Most shortages can be prevented, and their existence indicates managerial failure.

2:13: Inventory shortages directly impact profits, which managers must protect.

2:31: Explanation of inventory shortage using a wallet analogy. VIsuals: man at a ca...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b3bf958d-8bd0-4759-bdff-8b57f4d2ca68/adc4711f-0c5a-4f45-ab87-264909b8abd5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ocnECHPirxrbAmXTJQk7eE</video:player_loc><video:duration>1421</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-29T23:53:34.136Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gtZ9qTY2BFdaRpJ2GGhYpf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1ae65ff6-e0ef-460a-9a79-68bfb19c96d7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1951 ARMY / NAVY FOOTBALL GAME  PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA   DECEMBER 1, 1951  GG46535</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1977 film "Dare to Climb" shows the story and stunts of aerobatic pilot Joe C. Hughes, a famous air show pilot in the 1970s who was inducted into the International Council of Air Shows (ICAS) Hall of Fame in 2010. Hughes, born in Texas, developed the Boeing-Hughes Super Stearman plane and was known for his wing walking acts.  Joe C. Hughes passed away in 2017. His first Super Stearman now resides in the EAA Aviation Hall of Fame in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

 The film begins with a wing walker standing on top of a biplane in flight as it descends (0:30); title card "Dare to Climb" at 0:39. A Boeing-Hughes Super Stearman plane taking off; Hughes narrates that he first got into an airplane at the age of 38 (0:57) after a friend told him to find a hobby. Hughes walks towards a Cessna N60030 plane and gets in with an instructor (2:16). He says he first started flight lessons at Orange County Airport in Santa Ana, California. The Cessna takes off (3:53). Hughes, in a red flight suit, inspects and boards a Super Stearman biplane (4:17). The Stearman was used as a trainer in World War II, but Hughes made modifications to the engine (with a 1340 Pratt Whitney) to improve its aerobatic capabilities. Hughes turns on the engine, pulls the throttle, and flicks a smoke switch as he takes off (6:00). He does a loop-and-roll and inverted flight maneuver (6:12); continued aerobatics through 8:20. Hughes talks about learning to do loops and experiencing G-forces (8:23). Hughes lands the plane at 10:40. Hughes and a wing walker, Donna, bring the plane out of an Aero-Tech hangar (11:10). A closeup of the plane's tail, with "Super Stearman Wing-Walker Special Beverly Hills, California" on the side (11:27)...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1f52d03a-5c38-4000-a153-8a27d5816976/22856ca3-584d-4823-9722-dc69128967a6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4SkP2VnuwPuQ88hvTjKaM9</video:player_loc><video:duration>1426</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T00:30:36.392Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/d2ryM3pyv2J4anTwTZQhTf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8e7f31d7-e8e1-4c8e-89b5-2e3de7708c94.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"HOW RED BERRY SAVE WHITE MAN FROM SINGING THE BLUES"  1973 OCEAN SPRAY CRANBERRIES PROMO SM11355</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to 1973, this film "How Red Berry Save White Man from Signing the Blues" was made by Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. to promote the sale of cranberry juice and other products. The film features John Mauldin and tells a twisted version of the Thanksgiving story. The film begins with Johnny being dragged out by "orderlies", only to find that Doc wants to tell the true story of how early English settlers survived in the New World. Johnny recounts his arrival in America and how Native Americans introduced him to a magical red berry. Through a whimsical musical sequence, the berry is eventually named "cranberry" and celebrated for its many uses. Doc uses his magic pot to show the future of cranberries and their widespread cultivation and processing across America. Johnny and Priscilla, his love interest, joke about the past and ask Doc to send them 350 years into the future. There, they marvel at modern America, its landscapes, cranberry products, and cultural festivals. Eventually, they return to Plymouth Colony and find the settlers doing well, celebrating a Thanksgiving feast. Johnny decides not to tell them about the future, feeling that he and Doc have helped more than anyone realizes. The tale ends with gratitude and a humorous note about Johnny’s poor cooking.

“News Digest No. 2” dates to 1937 and was sold for home projection as part of a series of silent newsreels by Pathe. Pathegrams was a commercial subsidiary of Pathe News founded in 1922; eventually Pathegrams merged or was acquired by Castle Films and the company left the home movie market in the USA. This newsreel covers 1937, an interesting year for history makers; it covers various topics including Soviet Russia’s response to the Second Sino War following Japan’s invasion of Manchuria in July 1937. It continues to show Italian innovations created during wartime shortages, the start of the Spanish Civil War, a royal wedding and the December 12th 1937 Grid Championship. It also shows the notorious CIO “sit down” strike of 1937 in Flint, Michigan headed by John Lewis. Lewis was an indomitable voice in the 1930’s labor movement. It opens with Russian War games in review; Stalin watches over his fleet. 1920’s relations between Russia and Japan were a mixture of tension, distrust and wary stabs at cooperation. It is presented by Pathograms (:10); the logo featured is the second logo dating from 1928-1932. The title screen follows (:24). Black Soviet war planes fill a gray sky (:16). Stalin stands amid war generals (:54). Bombs spill from the bomb bay (1:00) and crack mushroom clouds over dirt. Hitler gasps (1:13). Tupolev TB-3 heavy bombers drive forward (1:20). Soviet paratroopers slid off the wing in mid flight (1:30); white ants on a black war plane. Close shots watch paratroopers jumping off (1:36). Chutes crack open (1:59). The army spills down (2:08). Milk wool (2:35) was first produced and patented in Italy in 1935 by Antonio Ferretti. The dairy yarn was created as part of the nat...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/596635ca-2713-4bfc-9cfd-fcb3c277c52c/43c53a33-467b-4334-8086-09782296ab72-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/c3hxHnuvYVwULdWH33fHTb</video:player_loc><video:duration>792</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T00:38:45.433Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gEiwTthJSvcxaNG4npFXfk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e5f12e70-4eb1-4efb-85ce-c84693d3f4cf.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" SPECIAL LESSONS  THE SLIDE RULE "  1957 SLIDE RULE PRIMER w/ PROFESSOR HARVEY WHITE XD26465</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to 1957, "The Slide Rule" is part of a series of Encyclopedia Brittanica physics instructional films. Hosted by professor Dr. Harvey E. White (1902-88) of the University of California, it provides an overview of how to use this calculating tool. It also explains terminology such as scales, slipstick, slider and body. At the time the film was made, Dr. White indicates that you could buy a slide rule for as inexpensive as 50 cents.

The slide rule, or slipstick, is a mechanical analog computer. The slide rule is used mainly for multiplication and division, and also for "scientific" functions such as roots, logarithms and trigonometry, but usually not for addition or subtraction.

There are many different styles of slide rules. They are usually linear or circular. They have a standardised set of markings or scales. These scales are used for mathematical computations. Some slide rules have been made for special use, as for aviation or finance. Those slide rules have special scales for those applications, as well as normal scales.

The slide rule is based on the work on logarithms by John Napier and was invented by William Oughtred. Before electronic calculators were developed, slide rules were the tool used most often in science and engineering. The use of slide rules continued to grow through the 1950s and 1960s even as digital computing devices were gradually introduced; but around 1974 the pocket calculator made the slide rule largely obsolete and most suppliers left the business.

This late 1970's police training film called “Officer Stress Awareness; Externalizing Problems” is part of a three part series designed to operate as a catalyst for group discussion among active and pre-service police officers. Research shows law enforcement positions are of the most stressful occupations in relation to the overall impact on the subject’s physical and mental health as well as their personal relationships. It pinpoints major sources of stress while examining various mental defense mechanisms used by officers to cope with pressures from their positions. It shows negative side effects of the world including denial of real emotions, overly aggressive badge behavior, impersonal attitude and displaced aggression. It features officers of the Springfield Massachusetts Dept. 

The film opens with a briefing on a recent robbery (:40). Officers look grim over news of a fallen peer (1:21). A pair of officer’s head off on patrol (1:51). The narrator addresses the perceived image of the super cop portrayed by the media (2:12) and the difficultly to uphold this image as an officer. A group congregates outside of the apartment complex Windsor Court (2:24). Repression of natural human emotion is discussed. An officer approaches the rowdy crowd (2:48); tensions escalate as one man is handcuffed (3:00). Some of the gang bounce on the hood of the car (3:24) as the car prepares to leave. The film was written and developed by George Kirkham (3:43). Contributing psychologists include Martin Reiser, William Kores and Michael Roberts (3:47). Morton bard (4:07) discusses reaction formation and masking of surface emotions (4:49). Two officers discuss sports news (5:19). They spot the Plymouth involved in the robbery discussed in the morning briefing; officers begin ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6f3a9a7c-0660-4991-a645-dc78f1fdade0/9a2df6db-91e3-409c-aebd-3f70068bfa56-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eJCBswfaZJC8zbKdALxa2b</video:player_loc><video:duration>1424</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T00:55:32.636Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rRL6gD61CHub5DhDSbfYi5</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/830ecacb-e9ba-4cef-871a-c415d99915b5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970 OPEN HOUSE AT KENNEDY SPACE CENTER   APOLLO 12 &amp; APOLLO 13 CAPSULES  SATURN V ROCKET GG46355</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Libya Ahead is a 1961 film produced by Chicago-based Wilding for the Oasis Oil Company of Libya contemplating the future of the country. It opens with a caravan of camels in the desert, the ancient Roman Marcus Aurelius Arch, the Gurgi Mosque in Tripoli, the Turkish fort Burouj Buleila. Fisherman, farmers, and oil rigs at work. The Oasis Group (aka the Conorada Group) is a consortium composed of three U.S. oil companies: Amerada (now Amerada Hess), Continental (now ConocoPhillips), and Marathon. Bidding independently, the companies won concessions throughout Libya during the first auction of oil rights in 1955. Following the concession awards, the Oasis companies pooled their acquisitions. They remain in Libya today, although their ownership has changed since the time this film was made.

"The American Teacher" is a Forum Edition of the March of Time, released in 1947 for classroom use. It mirrors the content in a more widely released newsreel “The Teachers’ Crisis”. The film discusses the critical role of education in American democracy and the challenges faced by the public school system in the post-WWII period. It emphasizes that true democracy requires citizens who are well-prepared from childhood, which is why the U.S. has developed an extensive public school system. However, the quality of education and the conditions for teachers are major concerns.

"On Guard: Bunco! " is a film made by the District Attorney County of Los Angeles in cooperation with Evelle J Younger, the California State Attorney General. It was produced by Don Hoster and directed by James Tartan. The film alerts and informs the audience about criminals who prey upon the unwary through fraudulent schemes such as those dramatized. The film shows the importance of community education and cooperation in fighting crime. It focuses on the methods of the Bunco artist, a swindler or con artist who deceives victims into willingly handing over their money. The film introduces a couple who could be legitimate salespeople or criminals using telephone books and maps to defraud senior citizens. It explains the four phases of a Bunco scheme: selecting the victim, determining if they have enough money, persuading them to get the cash, and taking the money. The Bunco artist often targets older women living alone, marking their locations on a map, and contacts potential victims to gather information about their bank accounts. The artist gains the victim's trust and persuades them to withdraw large sums of money, which are then collected by the "Bag Man." The film also covers other types of schemes: fraudulent sales pitches, home improvement scams, and the "pigeon drop" scheme. It emphasizes the importance of being cautious and skeptical of offers that seem too good to be true and advises viewers to verify the legitimacy of any request for money or personal information. Bunco artists prey on greed and the belief that one can get something for nothing.

One in a series of U.S. Air Force newsreels, this News Review #59 covers various topics including preparations in Florida for the arrival of Hurricane Donna, the strongest hurricane of the 1960 Atlantic hurricane season. The film also shows Operation Sky Shield aka Exercise Sky Shield, which was a series of three large-scale military exercises conducted in the United States and The United Kingdom in 1960, 1961, and 1962 by NORAD (North American Air Defense) Command and CONAD (Continental Air Defense) Command to test defenses against an air attack from the Soviet Union. The tests were intended to ensure that any attacks over the American–Canadian border or coastlines would be detected and then stopped. The film also shows the "Minuteman Train" or Minuteman Mobility Test Train aka Operation Big Star. The Minuteman train was a mobile launch pad on a railway train. Big Star tested Strategic Air Command's deployment of planned trains for launching the ICBMs. Moving the ICBMs by rail might reduce their vulnerability to Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces attack.

This 1960 educational film presented by Charles Cahill and Associates covers the three bicycle rules of the road: 1.Look and be visible 2. Make turns and lane changes only after signaling 3. Obey all signs and signals. It also features police test footage of cars crashing into bikes at low speeds, to see the damage that can be done when not paying attention to these rules.

“Oddities in Farming” was a film series produced by John Deere, that showed strange and unusual farming tools and techniques. As the title card at the start says, "Half the World Knows Not How the Other Half Lives." Here, compressed air is used to thin out beets, a huge plow is used to reclaim land covered by sand, and a hop picker is used.

0:42-1:03: Compressed air is used in a Woodland, California beet field to thin and hoe beets, replacing muscle work with a trigger-operated blade.

1:03-1:34: The blade acts like an air hammer, making it easier to remove weeds. It's a convenient tool for large gardens.

1:34-2:02: Ft. Myers, Florida. Paul Dickman enhances his tractor with vitamin B pills, making it powerful enough to spray above tomatoes and stakes.

2:02-2:23: The ability to adapt standard farm machines to unique conditions showcases American farmers' ingenuity.

2:23-3:03: Cordova, Illinois. "The Golden Girls" -- Women detassel corn on hybrid seed corn farms, removing tassels to produce hybrid seeds. This process involves pulling tassels from specific rows to ensure cross-pollination.

3:03-3:57: Detasseling is tiring but profitable work, requiring a sharp eye and quick hand. The development of labor-saving devices has significantly advanced hybrid seed corn farming.

3:57-4:19: The Post Brothers of Santa Ana built a plow that can dig nearly 6 feet deep, powered by four large tractors.

4:19-5:16: This deep plowing is used to reclaim land covered by sand. The plow buries the sand deep in the furrow.

5:16-5:44: The Post Brothers' plow is the world's largest, and it significantly alters the landscape.

5:44-6:25: Hubbard, Oregon, Swabauer Brothers (probably Schwabauer).

Shot in late October, 1968, this silent footage shows part of the journey of the Apollo 7 Command Module to Long Beach and then Downey, California and the North American Aviation's facility where the spacecraft was assembled. (Actually, both the Apollo command and service modules were built at North American's plant at Downey.)  The capsule was then thoroughly studied to see damage effects from the re-entry process. Apollo 7 (October 11–22, 1968) was the first crewed flight in NASA's Apollo program, and saw the resumption of human spaceflight by the agency after the fire that had killed the three Apollo 1 astronauts during a launch rehearsal test on January 27, 1967. That fire took place in the Command Module, and led to a variety of modifications to the spacecraft, including making the hatch easier to open. The Apollo 7 crew was commanded by Walter M. Schirra, with Command Module pilot Donn F. Eisele and Lunar Module pilot R. Walter Cunningham (so designated even though Apollo 7 did not carry a Lunar Module). The Command Module shown here was later displayed on the NASA float in the inauguration parade of President Richard M. Nixon. After being transferred to the Smithsonian Institution in 1970, the spacecraft was loaned to the National Museum of Science and Technology, in Ottawa, Ontario. It was returned to the United States in 2004.Currently, the Apollo 7 CM is on loan to the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field in Dallas, Texas.

This film showcases the 1953 Redex Reliability Trial, the first in the series of races that inspired the Round Australia Trial, circumnavigating Australia. The Redex Trial attracted many of Australia and the world’s greatest drivers, including Ken Tubman, Stan Jones, Jack Davey and Jack Murray. The Redex rules were very simple: no performance-enhancing modifications to cars, except auxiliary fuel tanks and new seats. Teams would lose one point for every minute late to enter a control point, and 100 points for disobeying a direction from race officials. If a driver had to swap a part at any point during the race, they would have 500 points deducted from their overall score, which would effectively end their campaign. A total of 187 racers set forth from Sydney on the 6,500 mile drive, with over 150,000 Sydney residents coming out to wave the drivers off on their epic trip. The trial featured cars from 1928 to 1953.  Drivers were required to carry additional fuel drums, sand mats, shovels and picks, as well as enough food and water to go the distance between each checkpoint.

1:32 - 2:03: The 1953 Redex Reliability Trial faced challenging conditions, with roads being improved tracks and a lack of water posing a threat to motorists. The organizers expected around 20 entries but received 192.
2:10 - 2:26: Enthusiastic participants included HR Smith from West Australia and a variety of cars, including a Porsche and a Sunbeam Talbot.
2:34 - 3:10:  63-year-old driver Granny Conway and driver Frank Kleinig. The scrutineering process was thorough, ensuring no replacements without loss of points.
3:17 - 3:30: Radio star Jack Davy entered the trial as a joke but became determined to finish.

This amateur shot home movie was filmed by an unknown filmmaker. Although some of the footage is fairly prosaic, it has rare content, in that it shows a white child dancing with a group of African American / Black children. It's not clear where it was filmed or why. The footage may or may not have been exploitative, as the children are shown performing the Charleston dance, which ties into prejudicial ideas and tropes that were common in the era. The images seem to invoke the minstrel and happy "Jim Crow" caricature. Perhaps the white child was friends with these Black children; or perhaps the parents thought it was amusing to have their child dance with them -- it's simply not clear. Much of the rest of the film shows two white siblings enjoying playing games and putting on shows for their family together. (Note: in 1926, 16mm film stock was new and cameras and processing was expensive. This indicates the filmmaker was probably well off.)

The film opens with three African American children and a Caucasian girl playing over snow crusted ground (:09). The youngest dances the Charleston (:16), trailing behind the group. Shortly after with happy feet she leads (:57); telephone lines and snow mounds dot the background. An older member of the group, their mother or a caregiver, dances solo, sliding on the frozen ground (1:09) and -- she's terrific! Kids clap and smile in unison (1:51). The youngest girl plays with her dolly (2:01). Another shot shows the Caucasian girl dancing on her stoop (2:23), front door and street address in the background. Close shots capture an open mouth smile (3:04). The view runs over neighboring residential homes (3:44).

This flim likely dates to the early 1980s and promotes IBM's System/7 computer system, which was designed for industrial control. The system was announced in 1970 and first shipped in 1971. It was a 16-bit machine and one of the first made by IBM to use novel semiconductor memory, instead of magnetic core memory conventional at that date. The System/7 was designed to address the needs of specific "real-time" markets which required collecting and reacting to input and output (I/O) from analog devices (e.g. temperature sensors, industrial control devices).  For example, AMC used it to measure the emissions of new production automobiles. A version was also created that made the navigation of large ships safer and more efficient, by reducing the amount of data that bridge personnel needed to correlate while improving how it is presented. It likely had other, classified military uses.The System/7 product line was withdrawn from marketing on March 20, 1984.

0:36 - 1:00: Modern security systems can secure large complexes with minimal manpower, detecting unauthorized entries and dispatching security forces efficiently.

1:00 - 1:47: The same technology used in security systems also operates machinery, such as paper machines and plastic injection molding presses, ensuring high-quality production and operational efficiency.

1:47 - 2:03: Introduction of IBM's System 7, a powerful system designed to work in dynamic environments with a cycle time measured in billionths of a second.

Dating to 1983 and produced by British Petroleum (BP), "Location North Sea" shows the transportation and erection of a huge oil platform to service the Forties field in the North Sea. It was directed by John Armstrong and produced by Pelican Films. The Forties oil field is the largest in the North Sea. Located 110 miles east of the Scottish city of Aberdeen, it first produced oil in 1975. In 1965 British Petroleum (BP) had already found natural gas in the region then in 1970 discovered oil. The find contained an estimated 1.8bn barrels.

1:46-2:08: The dock, traditionally used for shipbuilding, is now celebrating the christening of an "island".

2:08-3:03: The structure, which will stand in 400 feet of water, is described as an island to map makers but as a jacket for oil drilling to oil men. It is massive, heavier than four Eiffel Towers, and must be transported to the sea.

3:03-4:00: The jacket, made of 20,000 tons of steel, is towed out to sea, with the journey dependent on weather conditions.

4:00-5:06: A flotation tank, weighing 10,000 tons, is used to transport and tilt the jacket upright at its destination. The tank's chambers can be flooded separately, controlled by radio link.

5:06-6:05: The journey to the Forties field, the first oil field found in British waters, is underway with favorable weather conditions.

6:05-7:20: The route crosses historically significant waters, and forecasters predict good weather for the journey.

7:20-8:11: As the tow nears completion, the most critical stage of the operation begins, with support craft gathering at the location.

This film "Baja 1000" (1981) was directed and produced by Rodney Jacobs of Freewheelin' Films. It documents the grueling off-road race, the  Baja 1000 , highlighting the challenges of the terrain and the competitors' sheer willpower. The story focuses on one team, led by driver Roger Mears and his father, Bill Mears. The vehicle featured in the film is the Jeep J-10 Honcho, known as "The King of Beers".  This Jeep was the Head Honcho in Class 3 Desert Racing from 1979 to 1982, and owned by Mike Moore. Roger Mears wheeled the Jeep Honcho to multiple Riverside Off Road World Championships, along with victories in the Baja 1000, Baja 500, the Mint 400 and the Parker 400.  (Note: The Honcho was a trim package on the J10 pickup, offered from 1976-1983.)

    0:00 Main titles.   The film introduces the harsh, varied landscape of the Baja Peninsula, describing it as a "forbidding topography" that is home to one of the most hazardous forms of racing.
    0:53   It explains that over 250 highly specialized vehicles participate in the   Baja 1000  , a 1,000-kilometer (660-mile) race across the peninsula's diverse terrain.
    1:32   The course traverses everything from silt beds to dry lakes and even pine forests. Drivers need a wide range of skills to navigate the varying surfaces.
    2:07   Professional racing driver Roger Mears explains that the race demands "total concentration" for 1,000 miles, as the terrain is constantly changing.
    2:33   The film shows the technical inspection of the 18 classes of vehicles, all built for ruggedness as much as speed.
    2:58   Roger describes his own vehicle, a Jeep Honcho truck, and the safety and structural modifications made to it.

Here is one of the many short reel pictures produced by Columbia Picture Corp. This reel focuses on table tennis and is called “Net Marvels”, and is part of a series called “The World of Sports”. It was released on March 11, 1948 and takes place in Kaimesha, New York (referenced by the narrator as next to Kaimesha Lake) at the Concord Hotel, located in the Catskills Mountains. The hotel was one of the larger and more popular of the Borscht Belt hotels, boasting a variety of amenities and being host to many famous performers and persons. In “Net Marvels”, Bill Stern delivers a witty narration while viewers get a front row seat along with the spectators of the resort in witnessing the impressive talents of (as the narrator states at the time of production) former World Double’s Champion and European Single’s Titleholder, Sándor Glancz, playing against three time United States Singles Champion, Lou Pagliaro, as the two duel in a staged table tennis match which features excellent slow-motion footage of their game and the many trick shots they perform.

This color, advertisement for Good Humor Ice Cream features actor and comedian Jonathan Winters. These likely date to 1973, when Good Humor debuted the "No Drip" ice cream bars in flavors including strawberry shortcake, chocolate eclair, toasted almonds, and more. According to a newspaper article, the "no drip" ice creams allowed the company to ship products all over the United States, as they did not have to be stored at twenty degrees below zero to maintain their character. Prior to that time, special trucks were needed to deliver Good Humor bars, and they had a limited radius of about 150 miles from the ice cream plant.

This campaign uses humorous and varied scenes to showcase the product's appeal. Winters appears in various characters including a tennis champion, Little Red Riding Hood, a suave driver, a butler and his wealthy employer, baseball players, a cowboy, and playful children, each skit reinforces the central message: Good Humor bars are creamy, delicious, and specially made to melt slowly and drip less, offering a cleaner, longer-lasting treat. The ads also highlight the product’s wide variety of fun flavors and emphasize that it’s enjoyable for both kids and adults in all kinds of settings.

00:00 The ad opens with a tennis champ, Maynard, being scolded for his messy, dripping ice cream, and he's introduced to No Drip Good Humor, a slow-melting, creamy ice cream that stays neat. [0:37–1:10] In a humorous twist on Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf praises Good Humor’s creamy taste and slow drip, ideal even for fairy tale cravings. 1:10: A stylish man is told his luxury car is too classy for drippy treats and is offered the neater, flavorful No Drip Good Humor. 1:42: A rich gentlem...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0651ea1d-41eb-4610-9587-99e791f9e414/0b4bbb7c-12e7-4aae-98d2-748423094d29-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1MgjTZd4m2NfTX5sCL8hBf</video:player_loc><video:duration>248</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T01:39:23.005Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/c6Yq2ynQBqaoCEEUXgkPdW</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bc475bdc-3e26-4b04-a823-3106d47210ab.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“THREE FRIENDS OR THE HELPING HAND” 1920s SILENT STUDENT FILM   JR.

Made by a group of students at Jr. High School 45 in the Bronx, New York, this silent film is titled "Three Friends or the Helping Hand”. It is a simple narrative of three friends who band together to help one another in school work and in sports. It delivers viewers a glimpse into the past utilizing a common narrative of adolescence. A reserved student, Savino, faces the anxiety of not getting picked for a football game. Savino is a considerably good student though his classmates are considered to be poor pupils. Students created the feature as a way to show strength among friends, highlighting the comradery between students along their education journey in public schools. Themes of friendship, education and hard work are explored. Note: Angelo Patri was serving as Principal at the time of the film’s creation; Patri may have been the first Italian-born American to become a school principal in the USA. He wrote books as well as a syndicated column, "Our Children", on child psychology, for newspapers and magazines. The Angelo Patri Middle School, MS 391 in the Bronx is named in his honor. Opening credits acknowledge the assistance of Dramatics Class, teachers and pupils of the school (:27). Margaret O’Ryan and Elias Katz assisted with the production (:30), cast: Jerome Abrams, James Bianco and Savino Saracino (could be their real names, who knows?)  Note: Elias Katz may be the same man who later became a renowned psychologist and founder with his wife Florence Ludins of Creative Growth in Oakland, the first institution in the USA dedicated to supporting artists with disabilities.

This film is especially interesting considering how expensive it was to make films back in the late 1920s/early 1930...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/59ea02b8-affd-4deb-ae31-9508d2c528d2/86c69477-c0e8-4997-8b71-8cc7aa96b11f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/c6Yq2ynQBqaoCEEUXgkPdW</video:player_loc><video:duration>759</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T01:40:15.103Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/g9cNMAHVhYE1EnnSCAeRVA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7f35d83b-5b09-42e4-a698-bd08ddb9c918.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" CHAMPION OF FREEDOM "  1965 TRIBUTE TO PRIME MINISTER WINSTON CHURCHILL    GG45095</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Shot in 1956 by an unknown American or Canadian filmmaker, this fascinating, silent 16mm home movie starts with shots of an elaborate model railroad before showing the real thing -- steam locomotives and diesels in Canadian Pacific Railroad livery. This film was shot just four years before the steam era came to an end in Canada; the last steam locomotive to carry passengers in Canada was on May 1, 1960, and by that year both the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) and Canadian National (CN) railways stopped using steam locomotives for regular scheduled trains.

starts with footage of an elaborate O-scale model train set. At :20 the camera dollies across the layout and then follows a Birney type double-ended trolley car as it transits the layout. At 1:22 a group of trolley cars are seen at the carbarn. At 1;28, a heavy Lionel type steam locomotive moves down the track, pulling passenger cars. At 1:52 the locomotive moves past a parked box motor and into a station. At 2:03 a large train shed is seen with a locomotive moving out of the terminal. At 2:16, Canadian Pacific #1312 steam locomotive moves in a train with a diesel engine behind it, followed by shots of engine #5161. At 2:47, a 1954 Buick Special is shown in front of the Cooksville railroad station. At 2:52, a railroad switchman alights from a moving freight car and throws a switch. At 2:56, a steam locomotive #5117  seen at a distance, intercut with a man posing with his still camera. (Note: #5117 was a J-4-d 4-6-2 Pacific type which pulled the Royal Train from Westminster BC to Kamloops Jct in 1939.)  At 3:25 a man poses in front of a South Railroad freight car.

This episode of “Industry on Parade” presents a look at various companies in Idaho, Utah and Florida. This award-winning, nationally syndicated series ran weekly from 1950-1960 and relayed various complex processes designed to transform raw materials into consumer goods for the market. Argonne, Utah gets powered up with nuclear power for the first time using the Experimental Breeder Reactor 1. Viewers tour a starch production factory and witness the fabrication of jalousie windows. Episodes were pro industry and optimistically liberal. The series was written, produced and narrated by Arthur Lodge.  

The episode begins at Argonne National Laboratory (:34) in 1951. An experimental reactor pulls a meager supply of electricity from the atom in a complex and clunky process (:39). Heat results and converts to steam. Steam runs to the turbine (:57) powering the generator. Atomic energy commission scientists (1:16) and private sector scientists sought more effective methods. A worker lifts a reactor plate of alloy (1:35). The view runs over the control room (2:10). Rods are withdrawn from the reactor core in the reactor building (2:22). Television monitors track steam pressure (2:38). The valve releases enough energy to power a small city (2:44). The main drag runs through Arco, Idaho (2:51) cutting past residential homes and a white chapel church (2:55). Population was 1200.

Dating to the late 1930s (probably 1938), "A Reputation at Stake" was produced by Wilding for Chrysler Corporation's sales division. It was intended to provide a lesson for dealers and salesmen, about selling. The razor-thin plot revolves around the race to deliver a brand new Chrysler sedan to a scheduled debut event. The main themes of this brief drama, which compares football to the auto business, include motivation, leadership, and the importance of effort and teamwork. The film stars Alexander Campbell, Donald McBride, Richard Bishop, Jack Reidy, Virginia Brown Faire, Donald Kent, Billy Mack, Gene Morgan and others. (The dealership shown was probably based in Chicago. It's not clear what teams are shown playing football but apparently one is the University of Washington.)

00:00: A Chrysler dealership in a big city, Morgan Motor Sales. Introduction of characters including a charming Black janitor. An executive named Mr. Harper is interested in a new plan being presented to Mr. Morgan (owner of the dealership) by a factory representative named Mr. Manning.

 1:47 : Mr. Morgan insists on not being disturbed, but agrees to meet Mr. Harper, with whom he is supposed to go see a college football game.

This film shows the first test of the Apollo launch escape system (LES) which took place on Nov. 7, 1963, at the White Sands Missile Range. A safety system connected to the Command Module, the LES was designed to protect the life of the crew in the event of a critical emergency at launch.

The Apollo launch escape system (LES) was designed to provide a positive means of crew escape if booster failure occurred during the initial phase of launch. The system had to achieve sufficient altitude for deployment of the command module (CM) parachutes and to ensure safe lateral separation. Lateral separation was achieved by firing simultaneously the pitch-control motor and the launch-escape motor for low altitude aborts. The pitch-control motor was not required for high-altitude aborts. The system is no longer required after second-stage ignition and is jettisoned after verification of ignition.

The Apollo launch escape propulsion subsystem contained three solid-propellant rocket motors: the launch-escape mot...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/099df6b4-2a1a-48b8-9d8e-b939dc8d783b/f06ecfad-3cd5-4155-b9c0-05a060517807-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2bSVZMM1ZijcvKUnq4bjJP</video:player_loc><video:duration>589</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T02:03:16.164Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jef5boFrpXyQFmUQp3xM1v</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1349b343-d352-465a-9c3b-58faaa59eb7b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ VICTORY IN THE AIR ” WWII ERA REPORT ON THE IMPACT AND FUTURE OF THE U.S. ARMY AIR FORCES  XD33285</video:title><video:description>UJoin this channel to get access to perks:

This 1950 movie "You Can Change the World" by Christopher Films is the first of 30 planned films produced by the Christophers. The Christophers are a Christian inspirational movement founded in 1945 by Father James Keller to promote positive societal action and Christian values.  The production was in part an outgrowth of the Cold War, as it definitely has an anti-Communist, pro-faith, patriotic message. It features comedian Jack Benny and some of his celebrity friends, who listen to Father Keller discuss the organization and its focus on persuading young people to pursue public service careers. According to press about the film, it was made after Keller asked his friend, director Leo McCarey to help produce it.  Stars quickly volunteered their services -- Bing Crosby sang a song, Bob Hope did a telephone sequence, and the stars, director, cameramen, producers and others contributed at least half a million dollars' worth of free time. Credits: Starring Eddie “Rochester” Anderson, Jack Benny, Ann Blyth, Bing Crosby, Paul Douglas, Irene Dunne, William Holden, Bob Hope, Loretta Young. Produced by William Perlberg.

The film begins with Rochester (Eddie Anderson), calling guests Loretta Young and Irene Dunne on a rotary phone to invite them to a house party at Jack Benny’s house (0:49). At the party (1:37), Paul Douglas offers Bill a cigarette. Jack tells guests Father James Keller, founder of the Christophers movement, is coming to discuss making a movie (2:06). Father Keller discusses the purpose of the Christophers— to get more people into teaching, government, writing, labor, social service, and library work— and his desire to make movies (3:39). The guests discuss the movement’s purp...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/02e0e449-d4a8-4b93-bd45-6b4a0575975e/3712d650-07c0-49b7-a8d3-0c411f893c41-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1mBJ47fBi7ZEs3kgn1A9gG</video:player_loc><video:duration>1950</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T02:46:51.383Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2RTYtfpk9Aytbbjzb3ooT4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/09d94990-722a-4659-8b61-2981494c41ca.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" MEN AND THE SEA " WWII WAR SHIPPING ADMINISTRATION  SEAMAN RECRUITING FILM / SHIP BUILDING XD26795</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Presented by the War Shipping Administration and produced by the Office for Emergency Management Film Unit, “Men and the Sea” (c. early 1940s) is a black-and-white World War II-era film that showcases the basic sea and shipbuilding training provided to American merchant seamen by the United States Maritime Commission. The film focuses on wartime ship production and the training cadets underwent, featuring footage of trainees practicing Morse code and weapon handling. 

The United States Maritime Commission, an independent executive agency created in 1936, led the effort to build modern merchant cargo ships to replace the aging World War I-era vessels that made up the bulk of the U.S. fleet. This film highlights both the urgency of training a skilled workforce for the merchant navy and the technological advances in shipbuilding during the war.

This somewhat infamous psychedelic short film was apparently created by someone named Stan DeCovnick, who at one point worked with 20th Century Fox television. This trippy, weird and wild short, which probably was created as a blue screen test or proof of concept for a "Twilight Zone" like show, features a man who is trapped in a psychedelic world, and living in a dollhouse.  A battery operated chimp toy with cymbals appears outside the window to the doll's house, as does a gigantic human hand. Eventually, a little girl's face is also visible outside. The second half of the film features video toaster type effects. Trippy, weird, and wild.  
 
"Stan DeCovnick Tests of Monkey Doll Effects". This is apparently a test reel for a film or TV show, in which a man is shown trapped in a psychedelic world where a battery operated chimp toy with cymbals appears outside the window to his house, which appears to be a doll's house. A little girl's face is also visible outside. Trippy, weird, and wild.

This film "Pages of Death"  was produced by the Hour of St. Francis radio program and distributed by the Citizens for Decent Literature (Cincinnati, Ohio). Citizens for Decent Literature was affiliated with Charles Keating, a Roman Catholic anti-pornography campaigner. The film stars John Larch, Vivi Janiss and Paul Picerni.

The film tells the tragic story of 11-year-old Karen Fleming, a bright and cheerful girl who mysteriously disappears on her short walk home from school. Her parents, initially thinking she may be delayed, grow increasingly concerned, and the police begin a search. Clues lead them to a local store where Karen was last seen, and suspicion falls on Paul Halliday, a quiet teenager who was also in the store. As the investigation unfolds, Paul’s secret collection of violent and pornographic materials is discovered, suggesting a connection to Karen’s disappearance. Ultimately, Karen is found murdered, and Paul confesses. The film ends with a warning about the dangers of obscene publications, linking them to moral decay and violent crime, and urges communities to take action against such materials to protect children.0:26 – Narrator Tom Harmon introduces 11-year-old Karen Fleming, a bright and cheerful girl, and sets the stage for a tragic story about her disappearance.1:12 – Karen's parents worry when she doesn't come home on time; they begin to search and call friends and neighbors.3:08 – Police are contacted; they investigate and begin questioning her parents about Karen's behavior and any clues.5:06 – Officers visit Baker’s Variety Store, the last place Karen was seen.

Note: our print of this rare film is damaged and missing the ending. 

Dating to 1931, "Spiders" was produced by Erpi Classroom Films as part of one of the first-ever series of educational movies. The film provides a detailed overview of various spider behaviors and habitats. It begins with an introduction and describes how spiders are typically found in quiet, secluded places. Spiders primarily feed on insects, with some spinning webs to catch their prey while others hunt. The text introduces the Nursery web spider, detailing the male's molting process and his courtship behavior of presenting a wrapped fly to the female. After mating, the female creates a silken cocoon for her eggs. The lifecycle of the spiderlings, from hatching to their eventual dispersal, is described. The orb web spider's web-building and hunting techniques are also covered, including the female's tendency to eat the male after mating. The film concludes with descriptions of the funnel web spider and the trapdoor spider, highlighting their unique web structures and hunting methods.

This star studded, silent film from Hollywood’s Golden Era was shot at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival. It's not clear whether this footage represents an extract from a news cameraman's dailies, or a portion of a documentary film. The 1959 festival was the 12th annual, running from April 30th to May 15th. The Palme d'Or this year went to ‘Orfeu Negro’ (Black Orpheus) by Marcel Camus. The hauntingly beautiful ‘Dairy of Anne Frank’ by George Stevens closed the show. The Cannes Film Festival runs annually in Cannes, France. New films covering every genre from around the globe are put to the test here. Bustling new actresses and directors mingle with veterans as a few are interviewed prior to the showings. 

The film opens with a soft black and white view of the shoreline of Cannes beaches (:11). Orson Welles (:25) enjoys lunch with guests. A short haired bombshell interviews over her featured work at the festival on a boat with city buildings of Cannes behind. A young Jean-Pierre Leaud is interviewed (5:31). Leaud stared in ‘The 400 Blows’ directed by Francois Truffaut. A press photographer appears at the bottom right screen (8:23) as guests of the festival enjoy refreshments in an open cafe.

“The Pillsbury Man and His Reach for Greatness” (late-1950s) is a color promotional film for the Pillsbury Company, a US-based company that was one of the world's largest cake manufacturers and producers of grain and other foodstuffs. This film specifically highlights the means of producing Pillsbury’s famous boxed cake mixes, from the harvesting of wheat to careful testing of the product by professional home economists in one of the six modern test kitchens at Ann Pillsbury Home Service Center. The film also highlights the modern, automated technology that allows for streamline production and distribution of products, such as the IBM 026 keypunch keyboard.

Pillsbury Company was founded in 1869 by Charles Alfred Pillsbury and his uncle John S. Pillsbury. Pillsbury once claimed to have the largest grain mill in the world at the Pillsbury A-Mill overlooking Saint Anthony Falls on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. By the 1950s the brand was popular across the United States, having introduced a national baking competition, which came to be known as the Pillsbury Bake-Off that was broadcasted on CBS. The film makes numerous reference to Paul S. Jerue, who was an executive at Pillsbury during the mid-20th century. He held various leadership roles within the company, particularly in the sales and marketing divisions, and was influential in Pillsbury's expansion and brand development during that time

The wonders of San Juan, Puerto Rico are presented in “Island Splendor,” a color travelogue film from 1965. This thinly-veiled advertisement for Pan Am Airlines is narrated by Stan Z.

Mark 01:00 takes the viewer to monuments honoring Christopher Columbus and Ponce de Leon (who served as the first governor of Puerto Rico in 1510, as San Juan is touted as America’s “newest and plushest resort” as we see relaxing beachside scenes and views of sugar cane fields,  (Much of the increase in tourism, we are told, was linked to Fidel Castro’s 1959 rise of power in Cuba, as tourists searched for other Caribbean locales). The film also shows happy tourists shopping in local outdoor markets at mark 02:33 before returning focus to the “lush, lavish, and luxurious” nature of San Juan resorts as men and women are shown frolicking in the pool or feasting from a seemingly endless buffet. At mark 03:42, the focus switches to the political nature of Puerto Rico, as Burns explains how in 1952 it became a free, self-governing commonwealth and its residents enjoys the protection of the United States without having to pay federal income tax. As we see scenes of the island’s shopping and business districts, we also learn of Operation Bootstrap, the name given to a series of projects which transformed the economy of Puerto Rico into an industrial and developed one.

Dating to 1939 and shot in Technicolor,  "The Middleton Family at the New York World's Fair" was directed by Robert R. Snody and produced by Westinghouse for the company's exhibit at the 1939 New York World's Fair. The film stars Marjorie Lord as Babs, Jimmy Lydon as Bud, Ruth Lee as Mother, Harry Shannon as Father, Adora Andrews as Grandma, Douglas Stark as Jim Treadway, George J. Lewis as Nicholas Makaroff and famed African American actress Georgette Harvey as the Maid. 

The plot of the film centers around the Middletons, a family of five, as they venture from grandma's house in Long Island to the New York World's Fair. The son, a young man named Bud Middleton, is struggling to find his place in the world and secure a job. His father, Tom, takes him to the World's Fair specifically to show him the opportunities and innovations that exist. The daughter Babs is changed by the fair, souring on her foreign-born, anti-capitalistic boyfriend (who rants against mechanisation and the cheapening of human labor)  in favor of a hometown electrical engineer who works at the Fair.  The whole family enjoys the gleaming sights, especially the futuristic technologies located in the Westinghouse Pavilion which include television and a robot. The script explores themes of hope, opportunity, and the challenges faced by young people entering the workforce. It also touches on the generational differences in perspectives on work and success. The World's Fair serves as a backdrop for these discussions, showcasing technological advancements and the promise of a better future.

“The East African Safari” (1964) is a color film documenting the 12th East African Safari Rally, held across Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika (now Tanzania). Sponsored by Coca-Cola and Ford’s Lincoln-Mercury Division, the film follows 94 drivers, including the first American team in Ford Lincoln Mercury Comets, navigating East Africa’s rugged terrain and unpredictable weather. The backdrop of Kenya’s recent independence and the broader decolonization of East Africa plays a key role, and the film also highlights the participation of East Africa’s Indian diaspora, whose presence is significant given their forced exodus from the region in subsequent years. Musical score by Maurice Jarre, produced by Walter J Klein Co.

"The Making of a Cop" (c. 1970s) was produced via WQXI-TV Atlanta, and written and narrated by Gregg Oliver and directed by Jim Young.

This film from Motivational Media, "Alcohol: She Has a Choice" (1979) was made by The Film House, and narrated by Carol Mills. This film examines the stigma applied to alcoholic females and reviews the early recognizable symptoms of alcoholism. A series of true-false questions are presented by the narrator concerning several common myths and realities associated with alcoholism among women. Women of different ages and backgrounds give their personal responses on how they were helped by positive confirmation and intervention in their recovery from alcoholism. Some early symptoms of the disease such as: (1) preoccupation with drinking, (2) sneaking drinks, (3) blackouts, (4) inability to predict behavior, and (5) change of tolerance to alcohol are reviewed, and illustrated by real-life experiences told by the recovered alcoholics.
The film emphasizes the importance of recognizing early symptoms such as preoccupation with drinking, lying about alcohol consumption, and experiencing blackouts. Personal stories illustrate the struggles and misconceptions faced by female alcoholics. The narrative stresses that alcoholism is a treatable disease and underscores the need for persistent support from loved ones and professional guidance to help those affected.

This film "The Belk Story" (1956?) is a history of the Belk department store chain, which remains active in the modern era with nearly 300 locations in 16 states. The film tells the story of William Henry Belk and his start in Monroe, North Carolina, where Belk's journey began. It highlights Belk's childhood during the Civil War, the loss of his father, and his early recognition of farmers' hardships while working in a Monroe store. In 1888, at age 26, Belk opened his own store with a cash-only policy and clear pricing, facing initial struggles. In 1891, his brother John joined him, forming Belk Brothers, and their partnership significantly impacted beyond Monroe. The text details Belk's role in promoting industrialization, investing in textiles and tobacco, and transforming the rural South into an industrial region. It emphasizes Belk's commitment to local products, customer satisfaction, and community support, leading to the expansion of over 330 stores. Belk's legacy includes philanthropy, contributions to churches, educational and medical institutions, and his children's involvement in the business. The film concludes with Belk's enduring principles of low prices, customer satisfaction, and his lasting impact.

This 1960 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) film shows the progress made by the Rural Electrification Administration (REA), in providing power to rural America. The REA is the former name of the Rural Utilities Service, a U.S. government agency that funds rural cooperatives to provide power to rural areas. The film begins with an image of electrical power lines (0:16), while noting that “as recently as 1935, 9 of 10 farmers were without electricity.” Two electrical workers on a farm power line (1:00). Beneficiaries of the REA program are shown: Sarah Lee Pruitt, a poultry farmer (1:37); Dan Walker, a dairy farmer (1:42), Ernie Thomas, electric cooperative manager (1:45), Ed Barnes, co-op lineman (1:51), Al Hansen, rural mailman (1:56). An REA General Electric meter showing kilowatt hours (2:31). Black-and-white footage of Sarah Lee feeding hens before rural electrification (3:35), using a hand water pump, and a man plowing with donkeys in a field. Sarah Lee’s mother feeds pigs at a trough (4:24); her family eats grits and salt pork for dinner since there is no refrigeration and warms themselves by a wood stove (4:45). A ceiling light turns on in the house (5:10) and the film turns to color; Sarah Lee’s mother flicks a light switch and uses an electric iron (6:00). Sarah Lee’s cousin, Louise Phelps, reads by an electric lamp (6:31). Joe Kelly, smoking a pipe, plugs in an electric lamp (6:39).

Dating to 1941, this silent Japanese shows the assault on Singapore. In early December of that year, during the initial phase of the Pacific War, Japanese forces launched an air raid on Singapore and began their invasion of Malaya, aiming to neutralize British naval power and capture strategic territory. Despite facing limited defenses and miscalculations by British commanders, the Japanese campaign ultimately led to the rapid fall of Malaya and the subsequent surrender of Singapore in February 1942.

This silent footage shows a group of actors performing the play Julius Caesar and Black Pride dancers and performers. The location is unknown but it appears that a stage was set up in a housing project of some sort. The dates of the performances are also unknown, but it appears to be 1968 or just post-1968, based on the fact that the stage is decorated with three photos: one of MLK, one of JFK, and one of RFK. The film begins with equipment being unloaded from a Hertz van and a stage dressed. At 1:36, two cigarette smoking white men discuss some aspect of the show. Chairs are set up as anticipation grows. At 2:32 one of the photos is unloaded and set up on stage. At 4:09, what appears to be a performance of the play Julius Caesar culminates in the Ides of March. At 5:03, a group of acoustic guitarists entertains a small audience. At 5:55, a Black Pride group plays drums and performs dances on the stage. At 6:27, the stage is seen in full -- the photographs seen earlier are now gone. The dancing continues, as well as some on-stage gymnastics. At 6:57, a brief shot of a VU meter recording the music.

Dating to 1964, "Individual and Family Action on Warning" (CD 20-227) is a U.S. Army nuclear civil defense film. In this film, a representative American family discusses the need for survival plans in the event of a nuclear attack. The film is a tense, yet informative drama exploring the importance of family preparedness in the event of a nuclear emergency. The story follows the Packard family as they sit down to discuss what each member would do in the event of an attack. Through casual conversation, they explore different scenarios—what would happen if a warning came during school, at work, or while out in town? The family assesses their knowledge of local shelters, emergency protocols, and how to quickly reach safety. As they work through various situations, they confront the unsettling reality of fallout and the urgency of being ready, even in unfamiliar locations. This conversation ultimately becomes a moment of clarity and reassurance, with each member gaining a better understanding of what actions they must take to survive. The film serves as both a reflection of Cold War anxieties and a practical guide to individual and family emergency planning.

00:00 The film begins with the Packard family watching the news, which reports on the resolution of an international crisis and features an interview with Mr. Stanley J.

 This film presented by Pennzoil, "Into the Valley of Death", is a documentary about Jean Pierre Marquant, a young French ex-paratrooper and veteran of the Algerian war from Nice who in 1966 attempted to walk the entire length of Death Valley, one of the hottest places on Earth, in the middle of summer. The extreme physical and psychological challenges he faced are examined. The film also promotes products like Pennzoil Motor Oil and Meguiar's Car Wax. Jean Pierre's journey is portrayed as an act of proving that adventure still exists for those willing to challenge themselves against the odds, highlighting themes of endurance, the human spirit, and the quest for meaning beyond conventional life paths. The detailed descriptions of his physical suffering, mental fortitude, and the harsh environment of Death Valley provide a backdrop to his personal quest and the broader philosophical question of what drives individuals to seek extreme challenges. The film was directed by Peter Matulavich, with cinematography by Tom Evans. Note: Marquant now lives in Polynesia.

The film provides a comprehensive overview of the severe consequences of alcohol abuse, highlighting its global impact and the growing problem of alcoholism in the USA and Canada. It includes statistics on alcohol-related fatalities, crimes, and the broader societal impact, such as automobile accidents and homicides, and other social, mental, and economic repercussions. The financial burden of alcohol-related health care costs is also addressed.

The text explains alcohol's effects on the brain and behavior, leading to loss of control and increased aggression. It underscores the importance of addressing the root causes of alcohol abuse, providing support for those affected, and the role of rehabilitation efforts and support systems like Alcoholics Anonymous. The need for education, prevention programs, and stricter laws to prevent drinking and driving is emphasized.

Dating to 1933, "In the Blackfoot Country" is a silent, short "natural color" travelogue that was produced by Dunning Process Company of Hollywood, California. Not much is known about Dunning, but they advertised this film in "American Cinematographer" magazine. This print has some heat damage, which caused the color dyes to separate, but it is still fairly vivid. The film starts with images of Glacier National Park, home of the Blackfoot Indians. At :41, "Signals are flashed that the dance is on", before a shot of a teepee and braves arriving on horseback to a campsite. At 1:07 a title card indicates that "A white boy is to be made a chieftan". The ceremony is shown at 1:13. At 1:20, a chief speaks to the camera, and braves pose, while the white tourist is initiated. At 2:00, "Two Gun White Calf" is introduced, with the title card stating his "image is on the Buffalo Nickel". More dancing is shown at 2:10 through the end of the film.

Presented by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, "The Choice is Yours" (1952?) looks at the impact of alcohol on the body and mind. 

Summary: Brother and sister Jerry and Louise visit Mr. Wilson's house, where they see bottles and discuss alcohol and its effects. Mr. Wilson explains that he uses the bottles as props for his lecture on alcohol's impact on the body and mind. He asks the children what they know about alcohol, leading to a discussion about its prevalence and cost. Jerry and Louise share their observations about people's behavior when drinking. Mr. Wilson talks about the negative impact of alcohol on people's lives, especially in poorer areas, and contrasts the reality of alcohol consumption with its portrayal in advertising. He then explains the scientific effects of alcohol on the body, demonstrating how it burns and is absorbed into the bloodstream, affecting the liver, heart, and brain. The conversation covers the dangers of high alcohol concentration, its impact on personal and professional life, and statistics on alcohol consumption. Mr. Wilson emphasizes the importance of understanding alcohol content and its effects, and Dr. Ivy provides insights on alcohol addiction. The discussion concludes with the only known cure for alcoholism: total abstinence, and a message about making informed choices.

Presented by KQED, "The Long Walk" (1970) provides a poignant overview of the Navajo experience, blending mythology, history, and personal narratives to explore themes of cultural loss, resilience, and the ongoing impact of colonial policies on Native American life.
 
00:00: The narrator speaks of a prophecy from their grandmother about the end of the world when Navajo children learn the white man’s ways, lose the old Navajo lifestyle, and face destruction by natural forces like wind, water, and fire. This prophecy seems to be coming true as children are taken away, livestock is lost, and wars involve Navajo sons.
1:25: The narrative continues with the impact of the white man's inventions like airplanes, suggesting that while these are products of education, the Navajo have not created similar modern inventions, and their traditional way of life is rapidly changing.
2:06: The narrator reflects on the prophecy becoming reality as children learn the white man’s ways, leading to the end of the traditional Navajo life.
2:31: The location shifts to Window Rock, Arizona, near the tribal cemetery, describing the "Navajo Inn" and Gallup, New Mexico, highlighting how these places mark the boundaries of the remaining Native American civilizations.

"Living History, Democracy at Work" (Issue A in a series) is a documentary by Films Inc. encouraging U.S. aid to Britain, and the Lend-Lease Program. It opens with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s third inauguration in January 1941.  The film highlights national unity amidst political differences. Roosevelt's leadership is seen as crucial due to the ongoing world crisis, with voters valuing his handling of foreign affairs over domestic reforms.  Following the inauguration, Wendell Willkie, Roosevelt's defeated opponent in the election, embarks on a personal mission to England. His journey symbolizes democratic spirit, with support from Roosevelt's administration, including a letter to Winston Churchill.  Meanwhile, back in Washington, the debate over the Lend-Lease bill for aiding Britain reflects the divided American opinion on the war.  The film concludes with a depiction of America's industrial response to the crisis, showcasing the ramping up of war production across the country, the activation of military forces, and the spirit of democracy at work in preparing for defense.

This silent 35mm film, which was recently donated by Periscope Film to the Library of Congress, shows some of the events that took place an at air show on October 10-11, 1910 in St. Louis, Missouri. It was on the 11th that President Theodore Roosevelt, who was in town participating in the Missouri State Republican Party's campaign,  became the first U.S. president to fly in an airplane.  Roosevelt flew in a Wright Company Model B plane piloted by Arch Hoxsey, a member of the Wright exhibition team. Roosevelt was accompanied by Herbert S. Hadley, Governor of Missouri and two men who appear to be Henry W. Kiel, Mayor of St. Louis, and Sheriff Louis Nolte. (Note: Prior to being found by the Periscope Film team and donated to LoC, this film was considered lost for many years; another roll of footage from the same event can be seen on the LoC website at https://www.loc.gov/item/mp76000114.)

Roosevelt is seen in the footage in his car at the 8:50 mark.

"Ski Novice"  is a 1947 look at skiing produced and distributed by Hawley-Lord, Inc, New York. It is narrated by Peter Donald and directed by Dr. Frank H. Howard, a dentist and the first motion picture ski movie producer in the west. The film describes a humorous and adventurous skiing trip taken by a group of young men. They are inexperienced and face various challenges, from driving to the ski resort to learning how to ski. Despite their lack of skill, they are enthusiastic and determined. They initially dismiss professional instruction, relying instead on a book by Professor Galen Zit, which leads to comical mishaps. Eventually, they realize the value of proper instruction and join a class, improving their skills and meeting interesting people. The narrative emphasizes the fun and excitement of skiing, while also highlighting the importance of learning and practice.00:00 The movie opens in California with two winter sport novices loading ski equipment into a Bugatti Type 35 car.

Dating to the 1960s, this home movie shows some family scenes, as well as views of a mass games or synchronized display at the Strahov Stadium in Prague, Czechoslovakia. It begins with images of the mass games, which probably occurred in the mid-1960s. (Other films from this same cameraman were shot during the time that Antonín Josef Novotný was in power as President of Czechoslovakia from 1957 to 1968.) Every 5 years from 1955 to 1985, Strahov Stadium hosted a gigantic communist mass known as the Spartakiads, gathering hundreds of thousands of gymnasts and millions of spectators.  The Strahov was justly famous for its size, which at its height could support 280,000 spectators, including seating for 96,000, making it (for its time) the largest stadium ever constructed. Performances usually featured several hundred gymnasts making various complex formations and exercising identically, while accompanied by traditional folk music. The mostly highly popular shows, were those of young, well-trained recruits who wore only boxer shorts during the display or women dancing in miniskirts. The groups of gymnasts (unlike the soldiers who were ordered to practice and participate) were put together from  local Sokol Athletic Association members who regularly trained for the show throughout the year. The ambiguous name of the performance, Spartakiáda, referred to the former power and strength of the slaves who rose under the leadership of Spartacus.

Note: at :30 the Petřín Lookout Tower is visible in the film. Starting at 1:49, family footage is shown, consisting of a young boy of about 3-4 years old in the garden with a man who might be his grandfather.

This short 1955 film is a documentary about the Goodwood Nine Hour race. It was produced by Esso, which serviced the cars during the race. Esso is a trading name for the oil and gas company ExxonMobil. The day/night race was administered by the British Automobile Racing Club and took place at the Goodwood Circuit in the United Kingdom. Located near Chichester in southern England, the 2.4-mile circuit encircles the Chichester / Goodwood Airport. The course's chicane, corners, and curves presented a challenge to drivers wishing to reach fast speeds while still maintaining control over the vehicle. This is a 9-hour race, drivers started at 3pm and finished in the dark at midnight. 

The first edition of the race occurred in 1952. Officials initially wondered whether cars or drivers could stand up to nine hours continuous driving round the somewhat tortuous track, so drivers split time in the cars for safety. In this race, Peter Walker and Dennis Poore finished first driving an Aston Martin DB3S. Titterington and Sanderson drove a Jaguar D-Type to second place and Collins &amp; Brooks were in third place with an Aston Martin DB3S. It proved to be the event's nadir: small crowds at the 1953 edition and in 1955 (the year of this film), led to the unique event's demise. It was viewed as an experiment which had not quite come off, although it did serve as the forerunner to a series of Goodwood TTs run 1958-64.

"The Word on Pitch-Up", circa early 1960s, is a McDonnell Aircraft Corporation presentation looking at the pitch problems of the McDonnell F-101 Voodoo supersonic jet fighter. The film is adapted from a story by D.H. Stuck, a famous Test Pilot most well known for a November 16, 1959 accident involving a McDonnell JF-101B Voodoo aircraft where he ejected successfully, though the plane crashed near Edwards Air Force Base in California. Designed by McDonnell in the 1950’s , the F-101 had a 20+ year career, first as a fighter-bomber,  then as a reconnaissance / interceptor and eventually as a training aircraft. Despite some of its advanced capabilities and its speed, it had a terrible aerodynamic issue which caused the aircraft to “pitch-up” . The pitch-up was caused by downwash on the stabilizer during high angle-of-attack flight, which caused both a pitch up from the downward force and a reduction in the effectiveness of the stabilizer itself.  The jet would then become highly unstable. This problem was never fully fixed; the film attempts to guide pilots through a typical scenario.

Founded by Eugene Castle, Castle Films sold for the home market through camera shops and mail order. This novelty movie "A Dog Gone Story" is a 1955 film from the "Movie-Pak" series, starring Otto the wandering Dachshund who does not want a bath. This farm dog runs away from home and has an adventure in the city. The film opens on a farm in Germany where a Dachshund dog called Otto is laying in hay. The boss and his wife go about their chores pitching hay and tending to the apiary, ignoring the dog. 

01:02 The boss’s daughter feeds Otto. Otto runs to the food dish, sniffs and rejects. He returns to his resting spot. 01:36 The daughter re-emerges carrying a metal wash tub, grabs Otto, places him into the tub and roughly washes him. 02:08 Otto leaps out of the tub and races off the property, past children playing in the street. He races up steps, upsets a flock of chickens, licks the cat goodbye, and runs past the handyman. He races down a road, past children who unsuccessfully try to grab him. 02:43 Otto leaps a creek and runs through a pasture into a flock of geese. He chases sheep. Horses and cows look up towards the commotion. 03:01 Otto races along a dirt road. Plays with a frog, jumps into a creek and chases after the amphibian. 03:39 From atop a hill, Otto looks across fields, hills, and a tree-lined valley. He trots along a country road, past mile markers and telephone poles. 04:06 A streetcar and automobiles barrel along a city street. Trucks, cars, and trams crisscross every which way. Otto is stopped on the sidewalk, surrounded by people waiting to cross the street. 04:33 Otto bolts out into traffic. Horns blare. A woman gasps. Passersby sigh relief as Otto makes it unscathe...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c85362d4-c5d8-4206-83de-c72c6d70a04a/5d896c87-b7d9-459c-8070-6f82b376b114-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qJKw8MDpmqkGMQBh425KxG</video:player_loc><video:duration>541</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T11:05:36.019Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eUX3m2gcrxfU8iVPm8dg2F</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2f177316-8a66-427f-a2f3-67e3fb15fe0e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ NASA AERONAUTICS AND SPACE REPORT ” 1960s GEMINI, APOLLO &amp; SKYLAB PROGRAM NEWS FILMS  13414</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

"The Showdown"  is a 1974 documentary style propaganda film showing the Egypt-Israel War known as the Yom Kippur War, launched by Anwar Sadat on October 6, 1973, to reclaim territory lost in the 1967 Six Day War.  As this film shows, Egyptian forces successfully executed a surprise assault on Israeli positions across the Suez Canal. The meticulously planned operation involved deceptive maneuvers, coordinated air and ground attacks, and massive artillery bombardments. Egyptian troops stormed the Bar-Lev Line and established multiple bridgeheads within hours. Combat engineers played a critical role in enabling the crossing by rapidly constructing pontoon bridges and clearing obstacles. As tanks rolled in under full air cover, the Israelis launched desperate counterattacks, leading to some of the largest tank battles in history. Towns like Qantara East were liberated, and the myth of Israeli military invincibility was shattered. In the end, Egypt restored its military honor, with the October War hailed as a landmark in modern warfare and strategic planning. (Note: The war contributed to the 1978 Camp David Accords, when Israel returned the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt, and the Egypt–Israel peace treaty, the first time an Arab country recognized Israel.)

Dating to the early 1950s, this amateur produced but elaborate film shows Region 7 Boy Scouts having an encampment at Selfridge Air Force Base (now Selfridge Air National Guard Base) in Michigan. We believe at the time the film was made that Region 7 consisted of boys from Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois, and the troop pictured are Explorer Scouts but also referred to in the film as Air Scouts and Senior Scouts. The film provides a fascinating look at the post-war aircraft at Selfridge, which included F-80 Shooting Stars, B-17s, B-29s, F-82 Twin Mustangs, Sikorsky S-51 helicopters, C-46 Commando cargo planes, and more. The film begins with a shot of a Region 7 patch with the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin shown, before showing scouts studying an encampment brochure (:36). The brochure has a B-47 on the cover, which dates the film to about 1951. At (1:01) a B-25 Mitchell taxis down the strip. At (1:08) the main administrative / Operations Building is seen with cupola on the roof. An American flag flies out front, and there are T-6 Texan trainer aircraft parked in rows at (1:18). At (1:41) a group of F-80s flies in formation over the field. At 2:08 a military bus marked "School Bus" arrives at Selfridge carrying the Boy Scouts.

"Loose Water Instability, Pt. 2; In Spaces Open to the Sea" is one of a series of U.S. Navy damage control training films designed to show Navy personnel the physical effects of flooded compartments in a vessel at sea. The WW2 era film includes various detailed animations and demonstrations using models to explain the effects of flooded compartments, with a discussion of various factors affecting stability, angles of heel, and free surface and free communication effect.  

The first example shows a hole blown in the hull of a transport ship such as might have been made by a torpedo (:37). Water floods the interior (:41). Center of gravity on objects submerged in water is explained (:58). Effects of a hole that allows flooding into one of the compartments, creating a loss of balance (1:13) and the resurfacing effect. An intact model is used in experiment with weights set into each compartment (2:07). The model is tilted to a 7.5 degree angle (2:25). Liquids are used as replacement for solid weight (2:39). The model is tilted and water moves from the other side (3:42). Height loss is calculated (5:18). More water enters the compartment (5:54). The model inclines in the opposite direction shifting water flow (6:13). Lines of gravity are extended (6:56). Loss is calculated (7:27) accounting for free surface. Another compartment is shown, twice as long (7:59). Width is doubled (8:25). Additional loss is accounted for following the shift (10:47). The free communication effect is explained (10:51). The free surface effect and free communication effect are discussed (11:20). Charts relay reduction of the righting arm due to the fire surface effect (12:19).

Dating to 1941, this extraordinary Kodachrome 16mm silent home movie was shot by an unknown filmmaker. It shows a visit to Florida including the famed Biltmore Hotel Miami Coral Gables (aka Miami Biltmore Hotel) and footage of one of the aquatic galas.  As many as 3,000 people would come out on a Sunday afternoon to watch the synchronized swimmers, acrobatic performers, bathing beauties, and even alligator wrestlers. Based on the kind of performances shown in the film, one suspects members of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum &amp; Bailey Circus, which wintered in Sarasota, were also involved. 

Film begins at the Biltmore with ballet folklorico (:20) and then shows spectacular dives made from a swinging bar (1:26). At (2:27) synchronized swimmers are shown in the pool. At (2:43) a fashion show with musical accompaniment. At (4:11) a wire walker traverses the sky above the pool, followed by other acrobatics performers. At (5:40), shots from Miami's A.S. Beck Shoes storefront windows, with a mannequin surrounded by women's shoes. At (6:14) shots of fireworks and a boat illuminated with decorative lights. At (7:03) docks are shown with what appears to be a Coast Guard cutter and the USS Benson (DD-421). This was the lead ship of her class of destroyers, commissioned on 25 July 1940. Various shots of the ship follow including a rare shot of African American sailors and crew at (7:38). (Note: most likely these are either mess attendants, officers' cooks, or stewards owing to the segregation of the Navy at this time frame.) At  (8:20) a shot of the Ormar building, possibly condominiums or a hotel. At (8:50) a sign advertising the Silver Springs Seminole Indian Village, followed by images shot t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1e6309eb-aa98-4047-b696-a1ee47245336/f8ff3554-275c-453d-b0b9-e72f018d588d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4KCJNZkRhSgkqrHW9ri57j</video:player_loc><video:duration>1354</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T11:41:28.052Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bbPRTNFWE2MHAQmdJ1dCE2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4b5e3d99-b67d-4c11-96ad-4ac12c255c39.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" CLEAR TO THE TOP " 1946 CALVERT DISTILLERS CORP.

(Note: this is apparently a 12-minute fragment of a 35 minute film.)
Presented by Calvert Distillers Corp. and produced by Roland Reed, "Clear to the Top" dates to 1946 and was apparently made by Calvert as a p.r. reaction to the movie "The Lost Weekend". It was directed by Frank Strayer, stars Regis Toomey, Stephen Barclay, Joan Woodbury, James Bush, Harry Shannon and Eddie Kane. Official summary: The theme of this film is moderation in drinking and proper drinking habits, and the care with which liquors are made and blended. The script centers around the attempt of a group of dancers who hope to get a start in their profession through the performance of the "Dancing Donald's" new piece "On Deck". They hope a booking agent is in the audience, and Edie confirms that Frank Robertson, a big shot agent, is present. Despite their best efforts, Robertson leaves before the performance ends, leading to disappointment and thoughts of re-enlisting in the Army. However, Robertson returns, offering them a contract and arranging for them to perform in Louisville. The group celebrates and prepares for the trip. Mr. Harris, the nightclub owner, expresses concerns about their performance and -- because they almost loset their opportunity since one of the members mixes his drinks improperly -- gives advice on responsible drinking. (Note: in the original 35 minute version, a trip through a distillery is worked into the story, showing how liquors are made, and mentioning the work the company did for the government during the war in the manufacture of alcohol. However that segment is missing from this version of the film.)The performers discuss their nerves and the pressure to succeed, with plans to help them relax and prepare for the next show. The film concludes with a ment...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/527e51b7-f173-442e-b8de-67f65bed04cd/203da023-bba8-492b-ac7c-e22ad6379313-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bbPRTNFWE2MHAQmdJ1dCE2</video:player_loc><video:duration>754</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T11:42:20.677Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xsAC9FdGFvvELGgvd8xn22</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0f6b8bc6-3a5a-448c-a31b-66cce014aad2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" BIRTHMARKED STEEL " 1949 PANNIER CORP.

“The Palestinian People do have Rights” (1978) is a color documentary film that was produced at the request and under the guidance of the United Nations Committee on the Exercise of Inalienable Human Rights of the Palestinian People. Made in Spring and Summer of 1978, on the heels of conflict in South Lebanon and just before the Camp David Accords, the film sheds light on the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the lives of Palestinians refugees in camps across Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Specifically, the film touches on the important question of Palestinian identity and the right to statehood. Part 1 of the two-part film, this portion of the film focuses on the erasure of Palestinian identity and education and economy in the refugee camps. This film notably features interviews with important academics like Dr. Constantin Zurayk, Dr. Sari Nassir, and Dr. Edward Said as well as with Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) leader Yasser Arafat.

This silent film from the Cold War era shows preliminary work conducted in 1959 as part of Project Iceworm and the building of Camp Century.  The goal of Iceworm / Century was to install a network of nuclear missile launch sites which could serve as an early warning site and potentially survive a first strike in the event of nuclear warfare with Russia. Camp Century was constructed in 1959 by the Army Corp of Engineers. It was built into the Greenland ice sheet and was powered by nuclear reactors. The project was abandoned in 1967 following the realization the ice sheet was not nearly as stable as initially perceived to be leaving the missile basing concept unfeasible. 

(00:00) This film represents "dailies" or rushes documenting some aspects of the project and puts viewers on the ground showing as servicemen monitor weather conditions and conduct various operations and experiments.

This United States Steel promotional film, "Semifinished Steel," (1955) is one of the "Making, Shaping and Treating Steel" series. It details the process of transforming molten steel from an open-hearth furnace into various semifinished steel products like ingots, blooms, slabs, and billets.
  0:00 Main titles. Molten steel from an open-hearth furnace is ready to be cast into solid blocks called ingots.
  0:49 The molten steel is poured ("teemed") into large, cast-iron molds, each holding about 13 tons of steel. The film shows different types of molds, including "big end down" and "big end up" molds, as well as those with "hot tops."
  1:38 Small amounts of aluminum are added during teeming to control gas released as the steel cools.
  1:57 Once the steel solidifies, the ingots are taken to a stripping bay, where a hydraulic plunger pushes them out of their molds.
  2:34 Before being rolled, the ingots are reheated in a furnace called a soaking pit to a proper, uniform rolling temperature.
  3:08 The film explains how ingots are rolled into various shapes. Many are rolled into squarish sections called blooms.
  3:17 The film shows different types of rolling mills, including a two-high reversing mill and a three-high mill, which pass the steel back and forth between grooved rolls to form the blooms.
  3:53 The film then introduces slabs, which are rolled from ingots using horizontal and vertical rolls that shape the edges.
  4:11 A high-lift mill is introduced as a versatile option that can roll both blooms and slabs.
  4:54 A single operator in a "pulpit" controls the entire rolling process, using massive seel manipulators to turn the ingots between passes.
  5:38 The film explains that the rolling process not only s...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7d276661-f6b5-40d2-8333-683beee45451/bd9abf63-9005-4536-a807-2a89e5d04fc6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gsn4MZQDgwdqDiGbdCtYe8</video:player_loc><video:duration>494</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T11:59:22.806Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9CrDD6jUx3sepTcNC977P6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6b2fd9e1-fea6-4b7b-b235-b7895530c340.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE CARMAKERS " 1968 VW AUTOMATED MANUFACTURING &amp; ASSEMBLY LINE   VOLKSWAGEN BUGS SM10275</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

01:24 A crew sergeant in the parachute equipment room commences with a pilot’s life vest inspection. He opens the mouth valve and blows up the two compartments. He tests the vest under, discovers an air leak and marks it for repair. He fixes the hole by cleaning and brushing the damaged area, applies cement with three coats and adds a patch toping with talcum powder.
04:35 The sergeant inflates the jacket and dunks it in water again. Satisfied there’s no leak, he deflates the vest, continues inspection. He checks both CO2 cylinders and cartridges. He stencils the date of inspection: “3-21-43.”
06:25 Title card 30-day inspection and maintenance of the one-man life raft.
06:30 The sergeant carefully unsnaps a life raft pack, checks for traces of oil and acid, he removes the wrap, unfolds, inflates with an air hose, checks the air pressure, checking it again after one hour.

Coronet Films presents a short vintage on medicinal drugs created as an educational tool for youth to better understand medicinal drugs and how they operate on the body and mind. Coronet Films was a major educational film producer popular during the 1940’s through to the 1980’s. Documentary shorts were created on 16-millimeter film for use in public schools. The company switched to VHS in the late 1970’s. 

“Drugs and Medicine What They Do” briefly touches upon a variety of medicinal drugs such as anesthesia, Novocain, aspirin, insulin and newly manufactured depressants and stimulants. It begins with a discussion on the body’s complex systems and how they automatically operate to keep the human body healthy. Medicinal drugs are introduced when such systems are compromised or injured. The film includes footage of administration of the polio vaccine, Novocain and anesthesia. Narration stresses the need for supervision from medical professionals as well as the need to adhere to proper dosing. The final segment of the film touches on the effect of stimulants and depressants on the brain as well as the mass production of these new drugs. 

00:00 Film opens with the Coronet logo (:30) and the title screen (:34). The educational collaborator for this feature was Donald J.

This eight minute film provides an overview or introduction to  films in "the Social Seminar" series. This series of educational films was created for adults and produced by the Extension Media Center of the University of California at Los Angeles in 1971. (The original full name of the series was "The Social Seminar: Education, Drugs, and Society.") The series was executive produced by Gary Schlosser and studies the issue of substance abuse.  Each film featured a cinema -style voiceover and a narration of a specific person or family as they work through personal, interpersonal and societal change. Through these narratives’ viewers understand potential causes behind substance abuse as well as the shortcomings of the public education program on tackling the issues. It emphasizes substance abuse is a community wide issue calling for support from social institutions and community members. Teachers play a crucial role in prevention by understanding the cultural pressures students were under as well as act as guides creating relevant school environments. Information was compiled by the National Institute of Mental Health and the US Office of Education. The films also featured a role-playing simulation game “Drugs: A Community at the Crossroads” aimed at helping fostering strong bonds of respect and trust among parents, teachers and students. Materials for the program were pre-tested on diverse groups and the work was supported by the White House as part of the Drug Abuse Prevention Program. The films were designed to deliver accurate information in order to dispel myths about substance abuse leaving viewers with the understanding the issue is complex and without simple solutions.

This short, silent novelty newsreel dates to the 1920s. It begins with Ferdinand Schulz breaking his own record for flying a glider for over 14 hours in Koenigsberg, Germany. At 1:00, "Cleaning the Colosseum" shows a gardener dealing with weeds at the ancient Roman Coliseum in Rome.  At 2:10, a "Stunt on Stilts" in Chicago as a man on stilts walks across exposed beams of a skyscraper. At 2:51, "Commander Byrd and the America" shows Admiral Richard C. Byrd and his famous aircraft before attempting to make a flight from Roosevelt Field, New York to Paris. Joining him in the attempt are Bert Acosta, George Noville and Berndt Balchen. The film ends with the aircraft taking off. America was a Fokker C-2 trimotor monoplane that was flown in 1927 by Richard E. Byrd, Bernt Balchen, George Otto Noville, and Bert Acosta on their transatlantic flight.The America was destroyed after it was ditched near the French village of Ver-sur-Mer, having flown to Paris but being unable to land due to fog

 Ferdinand Schulz Jr. was a German aviator and glider pilot who broke a contemporary record by gliding and staying aloft for 14 hours and 7 minutes. He popularized hang-gliding in Germany and was called the "Icarus von Ostpreußen". On June 16, 1929 Schulz crashed over the city of Stuhm along with Bruno Kaiser, while taking part in the ceremonial opening of a monument to those who fell in World War I.

This film "The Sodium Reactor Experiment Fabrication" (1957) describes the Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE) at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory, initiated in 1954 by the Atomic Energy Commission and Atomics International.  The purpose of the Sodium Reactor Experiment was to demonstrate the feasibility of a sodium-cooled reactor as the heat source for a commercial power reactor to produce electricity. A secondary objective was to obtain operational data on slightly enriched fuel and uranium-thorium fuel mixtures. The reactor was designed as a flexible development facility, and was considered a development tool emphasizing the investigation of fuel materials.The film details the construction, components, and operation of the reactor, located in the Santa Susanna Mountains near Los Angeles. It covers the reactor's design, coolant system, fabrication of graphite moderator units, testing for thermal stress, and overall significance in advancing nuclear reactor technology. Note: the Sodium Reactor Experiment was the first reactor in the United States to generate electrical power for a commercial grid, and the first commercial power plant in the world to experience a partial core meltdown in July 1959. This occurred when 13 of the reactor's 43 fuel elements partially melted, and radioactive gas was released into the atmosphere. An analysis of the incident at the Sodium Reactor Experiment indicated it may have released up to 260 times more radioactive iodine-131 than the official estimates for the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station release.

"Americans at Work" is a short-lived televised series created to showcase modern improvements in industry at the close of the 1950’s. It is an ode to the American industry worker. Episodes ran for about fifteen minutes long and covered wide swaths of topics including steel mill and textile workers. The AFL-CIO; founded through a merger of two trade unions in 1955 still operates today with much less power unfortunately as union membership saw a drastic decline following the 1950’s. This particular episode takes a look at the intricate process of hand making furniture at a time when the craft was becoming more mechanized. It traces the heritage behind American furniture production beginning in colonial times and moving towards the modern era. It shows various traditional methods including dovetailing drawers and intricate detail work on bedposts and other furniture pieces. These methods are enhanced through modern innovations such as synthetic glues and precise machinery. Viewers learn terminology of the trade well as the history behind various woods used for various pieces. "Americans at Work" dates to 1959-1960. In 1958, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer, William F. Schnitzler, announced the production of 52 films to run weekly for one year. The popularity of the series persuaded the AFL-CIO to extend the project by an additional 52 films.  The AFL-CIO Public Relations Department, led by director Albert J. Zack and assistant director Robert J. Wentworth, primarily coordinated the production and distribution of the series. Production was contracted to Norwood Studios, Inc. of Washington, DC, which was founded and managed by Phillip M. Martin.

"Make a Mask" is a silent 16mm, black and white step-by-step demonstration of the making of a papier-maché mask.  It probably dates to the 1960s. It was photographed and directed by Elias Katz and demonstrated by his wife Florence Ludins. The film opens with a materials list of water, grease, paste, clay, and torn paper. Florence Ludins-Katz and Elias Katz were the founders of the organization known as Creative Growth Art in their garage in Berkeley.  Ludins-Katz was an artist and Katz was a psychologist. Creative Growth Art Center still exists; it is a nonprofit arts organization, based in Oakland, California, that provides studios, supplies, and gallery space to artists with developmental, mental, and physical disabilities. It is one of the oldest and largest art center for people with disabilities in the world.

“Americans at Work” was produced by Norwood Studios for the AFL-CIO. This is one of 99 films in the series intended to educate the American public on various union industrial jobs and duties. This episode presents a look into the tobacco industry at the close of the 1950’s. Cigar making methods had not changed much in the previous 100 years, though machines began to encroach upon the mainly hand rolling process.  This short-lived televised series was created as a way to honor union efforts in various industrial jobs. It also acts as an homage to the industry worker. This feature takes a look at the history and significance of cigar rolling in the US. It shows the role of tobacco in culture, economy and the history of how the US got into smoking tobacco. Various methods by which cigars are manufactured are explored. Viewers get a close hand look at the process from selecting and preparing leaves to hand rolling, trimming and packaging fresh cigars. Cost of cigars are discussed as prices increased by nearly 50%. Viewers also learn how the cigars are graded by vein, color and structure.  The final segment of the film addresses the implementation of machinery involved in the craft. 

00:00 It begins with images of 5 cent cigars (:09) and is presented by the AFL-CIO (:24). A man puffs on a newly lit cigar (:38). A section uncovers the history of tobacco (:53) as well as tobacco’s historical and cultural significance. Tobacco played a role in the Louisiana purchase (1:00) and was used as a symbol of trade. Labor leader, Samuel Gompers was a tobacco roller prior to his position with the AFL-CIO (1:32). Samuel’s statue follows (1:29). The process of rolling cigars begins with the shaker (1:43). Leaves are taken to a climate-controlled storage area in order to have ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0d7c8190-07b3-4dcb-98ef-65798085228e/95512631-2bec-4187-8e89-df0bb1cb008b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2EAfcVwxq5tw8gjGG4VVTm</video:player_loc><video:duration>820</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T12:36:37.048Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/o2as3kfQFCohWj9NPG1j8e</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7cb8c405-f8d1-495b-af6d-be9f12ccf7fc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s KODAK FILM AND CAMERA SALES IN DRUG STORES / PHARMACIES PROMO FILM  GG28045</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This fragmentary Kodak sales film from the late 1940s instructs pharmacists on how to use "related selling" to increase sales, particularly by linking photo development with other products. Some of the Kodak products shown for sale include the famous Brownie camera, Kodak roll film, and Kodak 16mm and 8mm movie film. 

0:00 The film introduces the "three-call line" method, a sales technique designed to bring customers back to the store multiple times. The first call is for the initial film purchase or drop-off, the second is when the customer returns to pick up their photos, and the third is for a subsequent film purchase.
0:26 The second call is framed as a key opportunity for "related selling." Customers are more likely to buy impulse items, such as photo albums or frames, when they are picking up their developed pictures. 1:22 A woman customer peruses toothbrushes, and a man buys some cigars declaring "It's a Boy!" Here's a natural moment to sell Kodak products. The film emphasizes that related selling should be a "natural, logical technique" that leverages the "informal, neighborly atmosphere" of a typical drugstore. It provides an example of a customer with a baby, noting that "babies and snapshots are inseparable." A pharmacist can suggest products related to baby photos. 2:12 The film suggests that the most effective related selling happens when the salesperson is genuinely enthusiastic about the products and shares that interest with the customer. 2:49 The film provides another example of related selling. A customer buying picnic supplies is a great candidate for a reminder to buy film, as they will likely want to take pictures during their outing. 3:10 The film concludes by stating that related selling shoul...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b2529e0f-7d77-4ec4-b080-66240c4b628b/43fbcd0c-5037-43cb-b6f9-4123e204702f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/o2as3kfQFCohWj9NPG1j8e</video:player_loc><video:duration>237</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T12:37:05.850Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1Em9SYKo6jGRMKXTg3UgVE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2092b82c-0f42-489c-b909-a50a754c82b9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ PLAYTIME ” 1950s ENTERTAINING ATTRACTIONS IN LONDON &amp; ENGLAND   BRIGHTON  GRAND PRIX RACE XD26865</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Filmed by an unknown amateur filmmaker, this 1941 home movie shows a "Parade of Stars" in Dixon, Illinois. It probably dates to September 13th or 14th of that year, when Reagan (then age 30) visited his hometown and brought along some of his friends including actress Louella Parsons, Bob Hope, Jerry Colona, Joe E. Brown, Bebe Daniels, Ben Lyons, Ann Rutherford and George Montgomery. The movie stars traveled aboard the train The City of Los Angeles, and the first shots are of the train arriving and the crowd gathered (11:00). There is a welcoming ceremony and then the stars get in cars for the parade. Residents are seen getting autographs from the stars.  The film ends with some family shots at a house with a little girl and some chickens.

The September 26, 1941 edition of the North Central Dixon High School newspaper "The Dixini" mentioned "Dutch's" appearance at the school on Monday, September 15th, noting that Reagan graduated in 1928 and that he starred in a number of plays at the school.  Reagan was also on the football team and became a sports broadcaster.

Produced and directed by Rodney Jacobs and Freewheelin' Films (https://freewheelinfilms.net/), "Danny Sullivan: A Man Apart" (1986) profiles Danny Sullivan, a 36-year-old Indy 500 champion, is portrayed as more than just a top-tier racing driver—he’s a dynamic, disciplined individual who lives life at full throttle both on and off the track. Known for his sharp reflexes, confidence, and charm, Danny balances a demanding race schedule with an energetic lifestyle that includes flying helicopters, appearing in commercials, and staying deeply involved with fans and sponsors. Despite the fame, he remains approachable and enjoys connecting with people. His defining career moment came when he dramatically recovered from a near-crash to win the Indy 500, a victory that marked the peak of his professional journey. With no fixed home, Danny finds comfort in movement and routine, especially his intense fitness regimen and time behind the wheel. As the new racing season begins in Long Beach, he looks ahead with confidence, ready to embrace both the pressure and thrill of racing—his true passion and escape. The film was written and narrated by Sam Posey, former racing driver and sports broadcast journalist.

This fascinating silent film appears to show one of the Apollo program's Command Module simulators. At long tables by the simulator, rows of equipment are shown which (we think) were either going to be installed in the simulator, or placed there to familiarize astronaut crews and NASA engineers with the components. This was probably filmed in Houston, Texas, although there was also a simulator of this type at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 

According to a NASA website, "The Command Module Simulator was used to train the Apollo astronauts. It was used in conjunction with the Lunar Module Simulator. The simulated command module was patterned after the actual spacecraft. Although motion was not simulated physically, the sensations were provided by a visual system. Realism of the mission was maintained by simulating all aspects of flight that the crew would encounter, including system sounds, failures, fire, life support, and food preparation. Three simulation engineers conducted the training missions and had the capability to insert malfunctions to enhance crew training."

NET and the American Psychological Association present “Focus on Behavior the Science of Psychology: Of Men and Machines” (1962), a documentary film directed by Edmond Levy, highlighting human engineering and the work of engineering psychologists who study how people interact with machines and technology. Hosted by John Darley, Ph.D., the film specifically illuminates how the study could be applied to assessing pilot errors during World War II and how continual research can help pilots adjust as machines continue to become more complex. Ultimately, the field seeks not to change mankind, but rather adapt technology to better align with the psychological needs and capabilities of mankind.

“President Kennedy Visits McDonnell” (1962), produced by McDonnell Aircraft Corporation, documents President John F. Kennedy’s visit to their St. Louis facility as part of a comprehensive tour of America's major space centers.  This visit took place on September 12, 1962 and highlighted the involvement of McDonnell in NASA's Mercury and Gemini programs and the production of the F-4C Phantom II jets. During the visit, Kennedy is accompanied by high-profile figures, including Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, NASA Administrator James E. Webb, David E. Bell (Director of the Bureau of the Budget), and Walter F. Burke (McDonnell's V.P.), and James Smith McDonnell (Founder). The visit underscores Kennedy’s commitment to the space program and the partnership between the government and private enterprise, and came immediately after JFK’s famous "Moon speech" at Rice University (1962), reflecting America’s ambitious space goals in the context of the Cold War.

Shot by an unknown American amateur filmmaker, this incredible 1934-36 era, silent 16mm home movie shows  a trip to the Skagit River Project. It is well produced, with title cards throughout. The film shows a train ride down the gorge to the Diablo power house, and a trip in an odd type of cable railway / incline lift up the mountain. The film begins with a shot of a family leaving their home and getting into what appears to be a 1924 Buick Duchess. Large crowds of people are shown waiting for the train to arrive. At :57, Seattle City Light Railroad Locomotive #6 arrives  at what is probably Rockport, to begin the ride up the river to the Diablo dam. At 1:00, shots of the river and gorge as viewed from the train. At 1:44, arrival at The Gorge Inn, where visitors spent the night. At 2:00, guests pose for the camera before taking a trip to see the power house, by crossing a long bridge. The power house is shown at 2:30.  At 2:38, the next phase of the trip -- taking an electric locomotive-pulled train to Diablo. There are views again of scenery out of the train windows. At 3:20 exceptional images of the incline lift aka Diablo Incline Railroad that transported visitors to the top of the dam in that era. The large size of the lift is due to the fact that it once took rail cars one by one sideways up Sourdough Mountain. At 3:50, shots from above the top of the dam showing spillways. Now, next phase of the trip begins with a twelve mile boat trip on Diablo Lake at 4:20. At 4:58 a title card explains "The White Line indicates the Site of the Ruby Dam". At 5:59, tourists disembark from the boat at Lake Diablo, and view the Diablo Dam and its spillways at 6:20. At 6:34 the incline lift is sho...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/349bb594-679d-4851-ac91-152d09373e2d/de1c97b3-3c28-4298-9b39-94a52a07df86-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7uMw5fEXFEkGWywGxMby56</video:player_loc><video:duration>464</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T12:48:55.562Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/g4mnhxAoY6R4z9rPyGXgsx</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a0ef9015-cd40-405f-bc81-66e8724496c4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ THE INHERITANCE ” 1964 AMALGAMATED CLOTHING WORKERS OF AMERICA 50th ANNIV.

This charming, silent Ko-Ko Song Car-Tune is one of a series of 47, three-minute-long cartoons that were produced and released between 1924 and 1927. They were produced by Max Fleischer and Dave Fleischer, pioneering the use of the "Follow the Bouncing Ball" device used to lead audiences in theater sing-alongs. The Song Car-Tunes also pioneered the application of sound film to animation.
This particular Car-Tune features "My Old Kentucky Home" and dates to 1926. It was one of sixteen films in the group to originally be released with a soundtrack; the remaining 31 titles were released silent, designed to be played with live music in theaters.

The concept of the "Bouncing Ball" used in the cartoon, has become such an established cultural icon, that it has been used in television commercials to sell all sorts of products from sleeping tablets to cat food.

This film "Aspen Album" (1966) was produced by Dick Durrance Films for the Apsen Skiing Corp. It presents an historical journey through Aspen, Colorado, tracing its transformation from a silver mining boomtown in the late 1800s to one of America's premier ski resorts. Originally a prosperous mining hub, Aspen declined after the 1893 silver crash, becoming a quiet, near-abandoned town. In the 1930s and 1940s, skiers rediscovered its potential, drawn by its challenging terrain and deep powder. After WWII development accelerated, and by 1950 Aspen was hosting major international ski competitions, including the FIS World Championships. The town modernized, yet retained its small-town spirit and community roots. New areas like Snowmass expanded its reach, while the ongoing evolution of gear and infrastructure kept Aspen at the forefront of skiing. Aspen’s story is told like a family album—rich in memories, growth, and a sense of fun that continues to define its character.  Note: Filmmaker Dick Durrance was a 17-time national championship alpine ski racer.

Filmed in 1938 or 1939 by an unknown American traveler, this 16mm silent home movie shows life at a farm and horse ranch. The locations are unfortunately unknown. The film begins with shots of a well dressed family posing in front of a lake -- the men are wearing ties on the trip! At :49 horses, possibly wild horses, are shown grazing in a field. At 1:08, a somewhat primitive Farmall Regular or Farmall F-20 type tractor is seen at work on a farm. (The Farmall Regular, or just the Farmall, was the first in the Farmall line of general-use row-crop tractors manufactured by International Harvester. The Regular was the first affordable tractor that could be used for plowing, stationary threshing, or cultivating. The F-20 is a medium-sized two-plow row crop tractor produced by International Harvester under the Farmall brand from 1932 to 1939, with approximately 148,000 produced.) At 1:28, a team of horses is used to harvest hay or alfalfa. At 2:39 a hay stacker is shown in use. At 3:59, underexposed shots inside a farmer's house. At 4:59, the crop is moved by a tractor. At 5:19, a man poses with a duck that he's hunted. At 6:09, cowboy rides on a horse, and shots of young girls sitting on horseback.

This silent, black and white footage represents outtakes from a late 1960s/early 1970s documentary film made about Synanon and specifically, one of the group's "Phoenix House" locations.  Unfortunately, this film contains multiple segments with "lip flap" where interviewees are speaking. Places and things shown include a Town Fair supermarket (1:11/12:41), a Synanon House Ford Falcon, Synanon House / Phoenix House (2:00), Synanon is People signage (3:15), dining area in Synanon House (5:40), residents perform yard work (7:30) and do laundry, group session at Synanon House (23:00).

Synanon, originally known as Tender Loving Care, was a new religious movement founded in 1958 by Charles E. "Chuck" Dederich Sr. in Santa Monica, California, United States. Originally established as a drug rehabilitation program, Synanon developed into an alternative community centered on group truth-telling sessions that came to be known as the "Synanon Game", a form of attack therapy. Synanon disbanded in 1991 after several members were convicted of offenses including financial misdeeds, evidence tampering, terrorism, and even attempted murder.

Shot in the late 1940s or early 1950s, these home movies document the life of an unknown American family. Little is known about them except that they were apparently members of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS), the second-largest denomination in the Latter Day Saint movement — now known as the Community of Christ.

The film begins with shots of a man, woman, girl and dog emerging from a house, followed by a shot of the man, woman and a girl posing for the camera with a second woman. At 1:21, the man is shown feeding a horse a carrot. A 2:12, two couples pose in a rural location or national park. At 3:19, a mission style home or apartment is shown, probably in Southern California, followed at 3:55 with a typical ranch style house. At 4:44, firefighters are seen atop a house that is on fire. A trailer is visible at the fire scene. At 5:25, a Western Airlines DC-4 airplane tail # NC10205 is shown with passengers boarding. At 6:25, an American Airlines DC-6 flagship is shown at an airport with red-white-and-blue bunting visible on a scaffolding in front of the plane -- possibly an inaugural flight? At 6:50 a group of people poses at a resort or motel called the Crestview. At 7;25 a marina is shown. At 7:51 the Fun Zone Boat Ride in Newport Bay, Newport Beach, California is shown. At 8:14, a baby is shown to the camera by someone who appears to be the grandma. At 8:30, a large picnic with dozens of people in attendance. At 9:06 ice cream is shared by a couple of young ladies.

It explains the procedures and techniques for using the standard training gunnery pattern, including how to establish and maintain the correct lead angle during tracking and firing at a target. The script covers the use of the fire control system, the importance of the pursuit curve, and methods for handling the aircraft during different phases of the gunnery run. The type of aircraft shown is not clear, but it appears to be a Lockheed T2V SeaStar or Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star.

These extraordinary home movies were shot circa 1939 by by Charles A.A. Modeer,  an officer in the U.S. Lighthouse Service (note: the USLS was absorbed by the Coast Guard in 1939). Modeer served on various lighthouse tenders, including as commander of the tender Manzanita, based in Astoria, Oregon. Modeer's movies were discovered after his death and preserved by archivist Phil Nohl, but unfortunately most were subsequently lost to vinegar syndrome. This surviving reel includes footage of lighthouses and lightships, including the Columbia and Swiftsure lightships, and shows the work of the Coast Guardsmen.

Film starts with rare footage of the Swiftsure lightship as seen from an approaching tender vessel. U.S. lightship Swiftsure (LV-83) had an all-steel hull, wooden decks, and a powerful double-expansion steam engine. At (2:25) the Lime Kiln Lighthouse is shown on the western side of San Juan Island, San Juan County, Washington.

Featuring the signature dulcet tones of narrator Westbrook Van Voorhis, this forum edition of the March of Time "New Frontiers of Medicine" focuses on  advances in medicine in the early 1950's. Surgeons perform a blood transfusion for medical students, William Kolff's rotating kidney drum is put to use and electrodes monitor brain activity. The identification of RH blood type and invention of sulfamides are explored. It was created at time of great advances in American medicine. A trend is noted in the global pattern of study as European doctors began to travel to the US. Bellevue, Boston's Lahey Clinic and New York’s Psychoanalytic Institute get a tour. The episode is presented by the editors of Time Life Fortune (:10). A doctor enters the patient’s bedroom (1:03); house calls would end by the 1960's. He pulls a notepad to scribe a prescription (1:26), heading for the local druggist to fill the script (1:30). Sulfa drugs were discovered in the 1930’s paving the way for the antibiotic revolution. The view runs over various types of sulfonamides and streptomycin (1:35). Student physicians (1:41) witness an operation. Bellevue (2:17) public hospital is the largest and the oldest in the US; well known for its treatment of the mentally ill. Studies on the RH factor (2:34) led to new testing (2:41). A test slide follows (2:44). Blood drips in the vial for a blood transfusion for an RH positive patient (2:55). Willem Kolff's rotating kidney drum, an early dialysis machine, spins attached to a patient suffering from kidney disease (3:08). Electrocorticography (3:20) was pioneered in the 1950's. Electrodes are set on brain tissue (3:32). Nutrition studies from spring of 1947 (3:50) and an issue of the Journal of Nutrition (3:53) lead to lab rat studies (3:59).

This untitled, color, silent film is a compilation of raw footage and outtakes captured as part of a Socony-Vacuum Oil Company promotional film  as well as home footage of travels and meetings by Socony-Vacuum executives in 1946. The film features snapshots of mid-20th-century corporate culture: an office party, lab experiments, and scenic locations such as Colorado's Pikes Peak and a "Dude Ranch" in the Rockies. Other notable moments include aerial footage of a Bell 47B-3 helicopter spraying pesticides and close-ups of the Erie Railroad Alco PA locomotive.

In the immediate post-War period, Socony-Vacuum Oil Company was a major American corporation in the oil sector, transitioning from its wartime contributions to peacetime production. After World War II, Socony-Vacuum, like many companies, shifted from military to civilian production and in 1946, resumed full-scale civilian production with a focus on oil and gas products for the consumer market (i.e. motor oils, gasoline, and other petroleum products which are featured in this film). During this time, Socony-Vacuum was investing in research and development, focusing on improving refining processes and improving lubricants and engine oils. The company’s extensive research laboratories, known as Socony-Vacuum Research Laboratories, are featured in this film as well. 

Film opens; Group of men in white button-up shirts loiter outside red brick building (likely Socony-Vacuum General Laboratories Fairfield, New Jersey), 40s-era automobiles parked along road (i.e 1939 Chevrolet Master De Lux, 1940s Ford Super DeLuxe) (0:10).

It is an account of Britain's evacuee children who were sent to Canada during the Second World War. The film was directed by Ruby Grierson and Stanley Hawes and produced by Stuart Legg. Notable Canadian musician and actor Lorne Greene delivers ominous narration over fearful scenes of war (:35). Greene is well known for roles in feature flicks such as Battlestar Galactica in the 1980's. The Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau (:48) produced the feature. 

"The Children From Overseas" shows the desperate tale of the 1940 British evacuee children shipped to Canada during the Blitz as London and other major urban centers in Europe fell under heavy Nazi bombardment. Survivors flee Nazi Air raids in order to cross U boat infested waters for the safe shores of Canada. The episode traces the children's paths as they assimilate into Canadian life with foster families. The youth were able to relay their new adventures with their parents in England through a transatlantic radio connection. Air raid sirens wail over towers of London (:54). British push through streets (1:03) for air raid shelters (1:07). Signs tell children what to do (1:12). Spotlights kick on (1:14), gun turrets roll for the Luftwaffe (1:15).

“Story of a Gas Well” is a 1940s black-and-white industrial film that provides a detailed, step-by-step depiction of the process of constructing a gas well. It's not known who produced the film, but it might have been Ohio Gas Company, as the final shots in the film are of Columbus, Ohio. From land surveying and well assembly to drilling operations and equipment maintenance, the film captures the technical and labor-intensive efforts involved in extracting gas. Featuring scenes of workers operating machinery, assembling wells, and troubleshooting on-site, the film offers insight into mid-20th-century gas exploration and production techniques.

This documentary by filmmaker Rodney Jacobs and Freewheelin Films, "Driven To Excellence" (1983) explores the deep personal and professional involvement of Paul Newman and Mario Andretti in the world of automobile racing. Though coming from different backgrounds—Mario a lifelong racer and Paul a latecomer who found a consuming passion for the sport—both are driven by a relentless pursuit of excellence.

"USAF News Review No. 3" is jam packed with USAF forces and munitions; it features a number of innovations underway in air force equipment and air crafts the early 1950's. This USAF promotional film includes a number of ADC (Air Data Computer) pilots from the California Air Force base situated in Oxnard. ADC pilots are capable of determining aircrafts altitude and air speed. The film also includes men of the 437 Fighter/Interceptor Squadron, the F-94 Starfire and the XC-99. It tours a number of air force bases; Moody Air Force Base located in Lowndes County, Georgia and the Joint Base in San Antonio. Moody AFB; opened in 1941, was named after the late major general George Putnam Moody; an army air craft test pilot who perished in May of 1941. 
Oxnard AFB; closed since January of 1970 has a brief but rich history. The base was established in 1942 at the start of the Second World War. During WW2, the 36th Training Wing supervised contractors training pilots at the airfield. In the 1950’s, it was home to the 354th fighter interceptor squadron and fielded the F-101 Voodoo interceptors.

This recruiting film (possibly titled “HMS Conqueror” although we're not certain) is circa the 1970s, includes footage of the daily life and tasks of the British Royal Navy sailors aboard the HMS Conqueror nuclear submarine. It shows glimpses of the sailors eating and relaxing, and how air quality is analyzed and maintained even though many of the crew are apparently chain smokers. HMS Conqueror was a British Churchill-class nuclear-powered fleet submarine that served in the Royal Navy from 1971 to 1990. She was the third submarine of her class, following the earlier Churchill and Courageous, which were all designed to face the Soviet threat at sea. She was built by Cammell Laird at Birkenhead. Conqueror is the only nuclear-powered submarine to have engaged an enemy ship with torpedoes, sinking the cruiser General Belgrano during the 1982 Falklands War.

Mountains and water (00:08). Sailors of the Royal Navy (00:17). Views of the sailors manning the HMS Conqueror fleet submarine (00:19). Views of the submarine driving through water (00:35).

“Training the Population in Civil Defense (Reel 2)” (1979) is a black-and-white training film commissioned by the Civil Defense Division of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (CCCP) that outlines the CCCP’s procedure for training the public in safety and rescue measures in case of a nuclear attack. This particular portion of the film at the instruction of complex object handling like DP-5A dosimeters and gas masks.

This film, an incomplete excerpt from a longer industrial film that was likely made by Bell &amp; Howell, is about the versatile uses of film and cameras beyond traditional entertainment, highlighting their application in science, industry, and communication.

0:00 The film begins by posing questions about how cameras can capture events that are too fast, too slow, too far away, or too dangerous for humans to observe. Filaments are shown creating an arc.
0:36   It introduces film as the "master of time," with the power to speed up, slow down, or stop events. A ship is shown in long exposure / time lapse / fast motion / coming into a harbor and cars coming through a drawbridge. An ejection seat tumbles in space and the parachute opens. 
0:46   It also highlights film's ability to bridge distance, bringing things from "5 miles up or 5,000 miles around the globe" right to the viewer.
1:15   The camera is presented as a safe way to observe dangerous events, as it can be operated from a distance and left unattended. An atomic bomb nuclear test is shown in Nevada, with observers watching the blast. 
1:34   The film shows how film magnifies observation in other ways, such as:
1:39   Making small things big through photomicrography (e.g., spherical crystals).
1:51   Making big things small through miniatures (e.g., a distant alien planet is shown with a visiting rocket ship).
1:57   Converting sounds into permanent, visual pictures. An oscilloscope is shown. 
2:03   Making the invisible visible, such as seeing shock waves around a model airplane in a wind tunnel.
 2:17   The narrator explains that film's ability to bridge time and distance allows for the sharing and coordination of research and testing results on a global scale....</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/096b86cd-8bcd-4f0a-a2d3-3495eceee01e/b417762d-29bf-49a7-9b04-f238fe7beb9f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2at69gUqFPwKMY7tbaUxZG</video:player_loc><video:duration>277</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T14:07:18.448Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/b7uMZvk8v1zaKLLnvyePMZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9e2bd114-154b-4d58-9d98-606e94497073.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" CAMERA ON THE WORLD "  WORLD EVENTS 1959-1963  CASTRO'S CUBA /  MACMILLAN BECOMES P.M.

This brief U.S. Navy film provides a look at MAD, a towed Magnetic Airborne Detection system deployed by a Grumman Tracker S-2F airplane, and used in anti-submarine warfare. The USS Daniel Boone, SSBN-629 is shown in the film for demonstration purposes. The vehicles shown in the film were apparently part of a development program and painted in test colors. It's not clear if they were ever deployed. The narrator mentions that the vehicles held a magnetometer and were made of plastic and epoxy, and consist of a fuselage with a swept-wing design. They were tested at Johnsville, Pennsylvania as well as Alberta, Canada and in Florida.

A magnetic anomaly detector (MAD) is an instrument used to detect minute variations in the Earth's magnetic field. The term refers specifically to magnetometers used by military forces to detect submarines (a mass of ferromagnetic material creates a detectable disturbance in the magnetic field); military MAD equipment is a descendant of geomagnetic survey or aeromagnetic survey instruments used to search for minerals by detecting their disturbance of the normal earth-field. The use of magnetic field measurements for airborne detection of submerged submarines has a history that goes back to at least World War II. The technology makes use of the fact that a submarine is in effect a large magnet, and its magnetic field causes localized changes (“anomalies”) in the earth’s magnetic field, which can be detected by field measuring instruments – magnetometers. 

The base shown in the film at (1:35) is apparently the Naval Air Warfare Center Warminster, a U.S. Navy military installation located in Warminster, Pennsylvania and Ivyland, Pennsylvania.

“Americans at Work - Educational Workers ” is one of a series of films created by the National Trade Union Center of the AFL-CIO between 1958-60. The series shows the value of the industry worker in various fields during a period revolutionized by mechanized production. This episode takes a brief look at the American public education system at the close of the 1950’s. It ties labor and education; showing the necessity of proper education to produce skilled craftsmen and knowledgeable citizens in order to promote an effective democracy. The plight for revolution and public education paralleled against one another. It shows how standard curriculum, including education on the functions of government, supported revolution. It continues to show holes in the modern public education system including overcrowded classrooms, overworked and underpaid professional educators. Union workers petitioned homes, contacted law makers and connected with parents in order to guarantee free textbooks, night schools and school lunch programs. The theme of the feature is the ongoing battle to make quality education available to everyone while acknowledging the significant contributions the labor movement made. The close of the film highlights debates and factors preventing further improvements in the education system.

This silent color travelogue from the early 1950s captures a leisurely voyage aboard the SS Lurline, a luxury liner operated by the Matson Navigation Company, sailing from San Francisco to Honolulu. The film showcases various moments of the trip, from passengers sunbathing on the ship to the ship’s approach to Honolulu Harbor. Traditional Hawaiian customs are highlighted through performances of hula dances and fishing demonstrations, offering a glimpse into Hawaii’s postwar tourism boom before the dominance of air travel.

The SS Lurline was most prominent from the 1930s through the 1960s, especially for its Hawaii route before air travel dominated. This ship played a major role in tourism between the U.S. mainland and Hawaii. The era depicted in the film represents the height of the Lurline's operations before it was eventually retired in 1963.

This film "Oh! Woodstock!" (1970) presents a discussion about the Woodstock music festival that reveals a deep generational and cultural divide in 1969 America. While some saw the festival as a rebellious expression of youth identity in response to societal alienation, materialism, and the Vietnam War, others viewed it as chaotic, immoral, and dangerous. The event attracted mostly white, middle-class young people and, despite poor organization, it became a symbol of countercultural unity. Here, community leaders debate its significance—some calling it a spiritual or aesthetic experience and defending the search for meaning, and others condemned the open drug use, nudity, and disregard for social norms. The conversation highlights conflicting values: where some saw personal freedom and creative expression, others saw moral decay and societal breakdown. Woodstock can be viewed both as a powerful cultural moment and as a cautionary tale, depending on one's perspective.

00:00: A speaker reflects on Woodstock as symptomatic of youth malaise, rebellion, boredom, and fear (e.g., of the Vietnam War). For many young people, it was a celebration of identity in a materialistic, alienating society.1:06: While Woodstock was seen as anti-materialist, most attendees were middle-class and privileged, arriving in nice cars. It highlighted generational divides in perception.1:22:The event drew mostly white, middle-class high school and college students. Tickets cost $18 for three days, but admission was eventually made free due to crowd control issues. Despite its appeal, the festival faced logistical failures like food shortages and poor sanitation.2:11: Five adults were invited to share their vie...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6cf3317f-16e1-43ca-a6c7-cd7bcbc68538/7bea3f86-747c-45c9-ab94-53df32be6103-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/esiWdQXFSV9MTL3fHoZmQy</video:player_loc><video:duration>700</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T14:58:09.928Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cnifmwMua35kzzar7obZ9m</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d0288327-f2dc-489e-8544-7c105036223d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" IDAHO JAMBOREE "  1970 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA PROMO &amp; RECRUITMENT FILM  XD86745</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1970 film produced by the Boy Scouts of America shows activities from the Idaho Jamboree, a gathering from July 9-23,1969 at Farragut State Park designed to bring together Scouts, typically boys between age 13 to 17, from all across the United States and world.

This 1969 episode of “Discovery,” a children’s American TV series produced by ABC and hosted by Bill Owen and Virginia Gibson, explores coffee production in Hawaii, detailing the harvesting and production process, one family’s experience, and the industry’s change over time. The film opens with a Japanese family picking coffee cherries (0:33). Owen, wearing a Hawaiian shirt, narrates in front of coffee plants. Ripe (red) and unripe (green) coffee cherries (2:04) are shown; the trees have white blossoms. Owen explains that Hawaii is the only place in the United States where coffee is grown commercially, due to its favorable climate; a map shows where it is grown, along a 21-mile stretch of the big island of Hawaii, in Kona, and is therefore called Kona coffee (2:26). Owen says coffee farmers are either “mauka,” on the mountain side, or “makai,” toward the sea. The three small towns in between are shown: Kainaliu, Kealakekua, and Captain Cook. The Captain Cook Sure Save Supermarket (3:20). An “H. Miyata” sign, marking the Hansa Miyata family coffee farm (3:54). Gibson stands in front of the Miyata family picking coffee; the family originally came from Japan but has lived in Hawaii for many years; their seven children help with farm work: Susan, Hansa’s daughter, attends Konawaena High School. The children pick coffee cherries in woven baskets (5:57). Once the cherries are in bags, they are placed on stands by the side of the road for a collection truck to pick up. Owen explains how the Miyatas produce “parchment coffee:” he holds a coffee cherry with a thin inner layer, called “silver skin,” (7:38) around the seed; outside the skin is a tough, parchment-like layer. Mr. Hansa Miyata, farm owner and director of the Pacific Coffee Coop, shows the pulping process: coffee cherries and water are fed into a pulping machine, whe...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1ade7348-2e97-436e-a36c-5a4ae672051f/7afa206a-7c7c-4795-9506-9e5190be889c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4jroykG9EwNxH2dU38HJVv</video:player_loc><video:duration>1320</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T15:05:13.457Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9Jv6SJx98gmpiZ8E2ENfi2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fc98cce1-f021-42f2-b920-74a79296f7ea.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1964 U.S. MARINE CORPS RECRUITMENT FILM   INDUCTION OF RECRUITS &amp; TRAINING AT PARRIS ISLAND XD28185</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Produced by the North Carolina Board Of Health, this film "Farewell to Childhood" was produced as part of a series by Herbert Kerkow and the North Carolina Board of Health, written by Frank Beckwith and directed by Julian Roffman. It was sponsored by the New York-based Mental Health Film Board. The film focuses on "the trials of adolescence," in particular the experiences of a 15-year-old girl named Susan who feels misunderstood by her parents and others. Parents Ellen and Mr. Stuart grapple with their daughter's rebellious behavior and her desire for independence, which leads to frequent clashes. She chafes against their rules, and is also deeply disappointed when she doesn't get the part in the school play that she was expecting. She feels lonely and unimportant.  The narrative unfolds through Susan's interactions with peers, including a boy named Pete, and highlights her frustrations about family dynamics and societal expectations.The pivotal moment occurs when Mrs. Stuart seeks advice from school counselor Mrs. Soames, who emphasizes the importance of understanding and communication between parents and teens. This encounter prompts the Stuart family to confront their issues with empathy. By the end, Susan's relationship with her parents begins to heal as they learn to support her growth while navigating the challenges of adolescence together.

Dating to 1946, this 16mm, silent, amateur shot home movie shows views of New Mexico and southern Arizona. It begins in New Mexico, with shots of Indians -- possibly members of the Piro-Manso-Tiwa tribe -- posing for the camera. At 1:31 are views of a bandstand and a Catholic church. This may be the Basilica San Albino Catholic Church in Las Cruces, New Mexico. At 1:57, a Las Cruces State College bus drives past the La Posta Cafe (probably now the La Posta De Mesilla). At 2:03 cattle are seen being driven by cowboys on horseback, and at 2:36 sheep are shown in pens. At 3:19, sheep are sheared by cowboys. At 3:35, sheep are painted red -- for many years and in some places still -- sheep were grazed on common land, which belonged to the whole community so different flocks mixed together. Farmers used paint marks to differentiate their sheep from others.)  At 3:53, a Continental Divide sign is seen. At 4;11, the Calumet and Arizona Smelter, built in 1902 in Douglas, Arizona. At 4:28, the Phelps-Dodge mercantile store is shown in downtown Bisbee, Arizona. At 4:42, Copper Queen Plaza is shown near the mercantile. At 5:01 the city limits of Tombstone, Arizona are shown as a car drives past. At 5:28, footage of a sign about the shootout at the OK Corral between the Clantons and the Earps. At 6:04, a sign for Boot Hill cemetery. At 7:46, shots of an F.H. Hogue produce transshipping point, where vegetables and fruit are packaged, put aboard trucks and shipped. Hogue produce had facilities in Yuma, Arizona and Firebaugh, California. At 8:08 are shots of the Wedding Bell neon sign, possibly in San Diego's Old Town.

This distressed, silent, 16mm amateur shot home movie shows rare views of the 1936-37 Great Lakes Exposition, also known as the World Fair of 1936, in Cleveland, Ohio. It was likely shot in summer of 1936, as it shows scantily clad dancers who were banned from the fair in the 1937 season. The Depression era fair was intended to give the area a financial boost. It commemorated the centennial of Cleveland's incorporation as a city, highlighting the progress that had been achieved in the Great Lakes region in the last 100 years. The expo drew 4 million visitors in its first season, and 7 million by the end of its second and final season in September 1937. The fair garnered some international attention but was never considered a full blown success, since attendance was not as large as hoped for, and plans to construct more permanent lakeside recreation facilities never came to fruition. Even so, the Great Lakes Exposition provided two summers of excitement and entertainment for many Cleveland residents and out of town guests at a time when spirits needed a lift

The film begins with a shot of The City of New York (:17) a steam barquentine known for being Richard E. Byrd's flagship on his 1928–30 exploration of Antarctica. At (:35) the bandshell at Sherwin-Williams Plaza is shown, followed by images shot at the Midway aka "Streets of the World" including a pagoda. At (1:17) the Olympia theater is shown with scantily dressed women parading outside, followed by more footage of the Streets of the World.  (Note: the "Streets of the World" area provided carnival style entertainment with an international theme. Controversy over appropriate entertainment on the Midway swirled around the expo.

This 1956 film was written and produced by Jack Howells for British Petroleum and tells the history of the company. It covers the prospecting for oil in Persia and the eventual construction of the Abadan Refinery complex with extensive footage of this. This is followed by the company’s expansion into new markets following the Abadan crisis as well as other challenges it had to face including the Suez Crisis. The film also strongly pushes a narrative of colonial progress, notably how the oil riches are “generously” redistributed in the countries of extraction through the construction of schools and hospitals.

Here is a reel of short films, including one about the Chicago World's Fair made by Burton Holmes, and travelogues of Spain and Cuba from the same era. Known as “A Century of Progress”, the 1933-34 World’s Fair was hosted in Chicago, Illinois. The theme was ‘Science finds, industry applies and man conforms’. The short film shown here was made by Burton Holmes, the producer generally accredited with the invention of the travelogue. The film starts with views of the modern buildings of the Exposition which were crafted with materials such as Douglas fir plywood, ribbed-metal siding and prefabricated boards. Two travelogues by Kodak are shown, with views of Cuba and Spain.

This is a reel of vintage, animated Yellow Pages commercials produced by Gantray-Lawrence Animation Inc. of Hollywood. They are all similar, but with some minor differences in tag lines. Each segment is essentially identical, promoting the Yellow Pages as a quick resource for various needs.

0:09, 0:55, 1:43, 2:32, 3:20, 4:08, 4:56, 5:44, 6:32: The commercial begins by stating, "Whenever you need something in a hurry, remember this. You'll find it fast in the yellow pages of your telephone book."

0:14, 1:02, 1:50, 2:38, 3:26, 4:14, 5:02, 5:51, 6:39: It then provides examples of what can be found, such as "a car to rent, a carpet, or a carpenter."

0:22, 1:10, 1:58, 2:46, 3:34, 4:22, 5:10, 5:58, 6:46: The commercial concludes with the taglines, "whatever you need, you'll find it fast in the yellow pages."

Grantray-Lawrence Animation was an American animation studio active from 1954 to 1968 and founded by Grant Simmons, Ray Patterson (hence "Grant-Ray"), and Robert L. Lawrence.  It produced commercials and low-budget animated television shows until it went bankrupt in 1968 after the death of Grant Simmons. Its distributor, Krantz Films, then took over production. The best-known of those animated shows are its adaptations of superheroes from Marvel Comics, the earliest such adaptations for electronic media. Before then, it did subcontracted work on Top Cat, The Jetsons, The Dick Tracy Show, and The Famous Adventures of Mr. Magoo.

To escape their predicament, they attempt to build a new aircraft from the wreckage. The ensemble cast stars James Stewart, Richard Attenborough, Peter Finch, Hardy Krüger, Ernest Borgnine, Ian Bannen, Ronald Fraser, Christian Marquand, Dan Duryea and George Kennedy.

This odd short film, "Here Comes Circus Circus / Here Comes Beaunit Bandura" promotes Beaunit Bandera, which apparently ran a clothing store chain or boutique.  The film was shot in the Circus Circus hotel and casino, and features footage of models wearing 1970s outfits by various designers. It also includes as background various parts of the hotel including a merry go round (:37), clown show and exotic dancing acts (1:09), a weird segment with girls in a shooting gallery, and a man hitting a strength tester. The "Weener Wagon" restaurant is shown, as well as a Skee Ball game area (2:35). At (3:03) a clown poses in front of a circus tent backdrop. At (3:48) models pose on various stage props for the circus show including a metal tiger cage that moves across the ceiling. At (4:38) credits include Andelaar, Adri, Oscar De La Renta,  Anne Fogarty, Jon Haggins, Janteen, Loomtoos, Jantzen and Matti of Lynne, Sinclair, Elisabeth Stewart and others. 

Beaunit Bandera was likely an iteration of the North American Rayon and the American Bemberg Corporation. The film was produced by Jay Hathaway Production Services and was a Roger Dee FashionVision film.

Produced by Coronet in 1947, "The Secretary Takes Dictation" dramatically shows how an experienced secretary operates versus a new hire. The badly-acted film shows the interactions between boss Mr. Williams and his two office girls, Jean and Marge. Jean, a blonde secretary, is a highly competent and organized secretary, while Marge, a brunette stenographer, is still learning the ropes. The script highlights the importance of preparation, organization, and attention to detail in a professional environment. (Note: A stenographer is a professional who uses shorthand or a stenotype machine to transcribe spoken words into written text.)

00:00: Main titles.

0:39: Mr. Williams places an order and is assured of delivery within a week. The conversation ends with mutual appreciation.

1:13: Two office workers, Jean and Marge, discuss their experiences with dictation. Marge is new and nervous, while Jean is more experienced and offers reassurance.

2:16: Mr. Williams reflects on his two employees, Jean and Marge. He describes Marge's inexperience and the challenges she faces, such as being unprepared for dictation. She can't even find her notebook and has to sharpen her pencil. 

3:00: Marge struggles with basic tasks like finding her notebook and sharpening pencils, causing delays.

4:00: Mr. Williams contrasts Marge's inexperience with Jean's efficiency. Jean is always prepared, with her tools and typewriter ready and her workspace organized.

This 1966 color educational film by International Film Bureau Inc. shows clinical case studies and observations from Dr. Richard Koch at Los Angeles Children’s Hospital (CHLA) on children with Phenylketonuria (PKU), an inherited condition that causes a buildup of phenylalanine, an amino acid, in the body. PKU causes a form of mental retardation that can be prevented with a low-protein diet. Produced by Carl J. Ross. The film begins with two nurses handing toys to a child with PKU strapped into a stander (0:49). He makes writhing movements and has difficulty holding his head up. A mother holds a baby with PKU whose head is enlarged (1:13). Dr. Koch, from the Child Development Division at CHLA, examines a young child with PKU, raising his arms above his head (1:44). A 4-year-old with PKU and estimated IQ of 11 walks unsteadily (2:01); associated signs of PKU include eczema, mild seizures, blonde hair, and blue eyes. The child has red hair and brown eyes and sits in a high chair while a caregiver tries to feed him, waving his arms and rocking (2:50). Narration explains that until recently, the average age of diagnosis was between 2 to 3 years, usually because of a similarly-affected sibling. This delay means that retardation has already set in and treatment is less effective. PKU was first identified in 1934 by Dr. Ivar Asbjorn Folling in Norway, and is caused by a defect in a liver enzyme that changes phenylalanine to tyrosine. A doctor examines a 1-year-old with PKU and moderate retardation (4:05). An 8-month-old with PKU kicks his legs on a blanket; he is unable to roll over or sit up (4:50). The same child at 2.5 years old (5:35) stacks blocks and is more responsive to his environmen...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1f2f7b9b-6b08-4b4f-b56e-e8ad6348ab40/3b9d90ac-bb40-4d64-9d8e-afa4f819a46d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4RmtVwXcnDQPH46JSMYzAq</video:player_loc><video:duration>949</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T18:01:49.062Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/m6qNpsNjjgTaMyLr6AbPPr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e02345f1-e33f-405f-aeff-e72ca178ee01.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" IT'S THE BRAIN THAT COUNTS " 1943 ANTI-ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION &amp; ALCOHOLISM EDUCATIONAL FILM  GG45935</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This film, "It's the Brain that Counts" (1943), was made by the National Women's Christian Temperance Union. Based on the writings of Bertha Rachel Palmer, the film tells the story of a young man injured after drinking too much. The doctor who is treating him explains the effects alcohol consumption. The story revolves around Harry Barton, who is found unconscious and critically injured after a night out. His friends, Jane and Jack, who were with him the previous night, are deeply concerned and seek information from Dr. Elliot at the hospital. Dr. Elliot explains the severe effects of alcohol on the brain and body, using various demonstrations to show how even a small amount of alcohol can impair judgment, coordination, and senses. This impairment likely contributed to Harry's accident. The film highlights the responsibility of encouraging someone to drink and the potential dangers associated with alcohol consumption. Jane and Jack realize their mistake in urging Harry to drink and vow to remember the lesson they've learned about the serious consequences of alcohol.

This fascinating newsreel is one in a series called "View of the Soviet World", which was intended to educate American audiences about their new ally, the USSR. This particular episode shows the Red Army’s fight against the invading German army in 1942, with a focus on the nation's vast resources and industrial might. It is titled "All for Victory”. It shows the complete mobilization of the nation’s resources including iron, steel, oil and food as well as manpower aimed at defeating the enemy invaders. Soviet anti-aircraft gunners hit back against Luftwaffe bombers, metallurgists feed the war machine, oil workers prospect for and unearth fuel resources, farmers harvest wheat for food supplies and female Red Cross workers dedicate themselves to the war effort.

(Notes below courtesy Computer History Archives Project aka "CHAP")

"You and the Computer" dates to 1969 and was made by General Electric. GE had a thriving computer division in that era. GE’s earliest major computer accomplishment was the creation the ERMA system for automating the processing of check clearing, which incorporated magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) standards used today. ERMA stood for Electronic Recording Machine Accounting, led to the development of the GE-100. The GE-600 series introduced in 1964, included six new faster models: the 605, 615, 625, 635, 645, and 655.  In 1965 the introduction of the GE-265 marked the first commercially successful time-sharing system. The GE PAC (Process Automation Computer) family included the 4020, 4040, 4060 and others.  After many successful computer models, the introduction of IBM’s System/360 family made clear that GE could no longer compete viably going forward, and GE sold its computer line to Honeywell in 1970.  In 1986 Honeywell’s computer division merged with the French Company “Bull” and Nippon Electric Company (NEC) to form Honeywell-Bull, but by 1991 they abandoned the arena 

The film explains in simple terms how the use of data processing equipment greatly improves the speed and accuracy of business accounting.  The hardware shown here was often used in more than one type of GE system, during the 1964 to 1967 period, with some model variations.  Good scenes of internal data center operations are shown. GE large scale disk memory seen briefly at 0:28 was capable of storing 18 million characters of information. (That unit was similar to IBM’s RAMAC). The magnetic reel tape drives could read (0:35)   per minute, a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b37b60d8-78f7-4d62-a02a-237713b69fe8/4aa344ff-2a45-4137-a86b-39259b234794-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oasZu3xnBRNgAzQPV9BuR7</video:player_loc><video:duration>517</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T18:14:46.993Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bbx6e1AW8DKVbo7mBjFZdS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1be4580a-fa20-4418-a60f-d73b3e160d41.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" ADVENTURE CALLS "  JEEPERS JAMBOREE EPISODE  RUBICON TRAIL, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA GG44835</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Hosted by Dick Simmons, "Adventure Calls" is a rarely-seen TV show that aired in the mid-1960s. This episode "Jeepers Jamboree" covers the annual events, which is an off road trip through the famous Rubicon Trail in Northern California. The trip, which covers 84 miles, takes a day and a half through rough terrain. The journey begins in Georgetown, where adventurers gather with various four-wheel-drive vehicles. Only 300 vehicles were selected from a thousand requests, and the drivers are committed to leaving the environment unspoiled. Participants face various challenges, including rain turning the trail into a quagmire and a vehicle crashing through a bridge timber. Despite these obstacles, they reach the night camp, set up provisions, and enjoy a bonfire and an impromptu floor show. The next morning, they continue their journey, eventually reaching the majestic shores of Lake Tahoe, marking the end of their adventure.

This film "The Alcoholic Within Us" (1976) was directed by Noel Nosseck and produced by International Tele-Film Enterprises for Health and Welfare Canada. It presents an allegory in which the emotions in a alcoholic’s mind are portrayed as characters interacting with each other and with maturity. They fall under the influence of immaturity and end up unable to deal with their drinking problems. In the film a number of characters begin to use alcohol to escape or avoid their problems &amp; to see that the only way to cope is to grow up &amp; to understand each other. However a difficult path lies ahead as there is always a drink available.

0:53 - 1:45: The narrator describes the mind as a house with many rooms, each representing different emotions. These emotions are personified as family members living together, sometimes in conflict, particularly in the mind of a potential alcoholic.

“It Can Happen Here” is presented by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service founded in 1933 (operating today under the Natural Resource Conservation Service) and Harry Ferguson, Inc., a producer of agricultural equipment. This film is set in an unnamed typical American post-war town. The film follows a narrative of a journalist, Jeff Thompson and local business owners as they attempt to understand the decline of soil quality, local goods and prices. It shows the interconnectedness between agriculture and economy. During 150 years about three inches of topsoil had disappeared due to improper land use. Jeff shows the locals how to preserve their soil and therefore improve their local goods market.  He stresses the importance of terraces and grass waterways to prevent soil erosion and thus enhancing production and economy. It compares two cities in Oklahoma in order to demonstrate proper versus improper land use; Prague, Oklahoma versus Paden Oklahoma. Jeff writes an editorial about land conservation instilling in the locals (and viewers) the belief the land belongs to the people. 

00:00 The film opens with shots of the main street USA of the rundown city of Paden (:10) highlighting shops such as HS Johnson. Produced by Wilding Pictures Productions Inc. Title screen follows (:24). Opening segment explains the US economy received an unnatural stimulus due to war production that during peacetime they had to find ways to maintain (:29). A local farmer parks his truck and makes for the Farmers National Building (1:14). The owner of a local men’s clothing store; Avery’s (1:20), the county Commissioner (1:26) and owner of the local hardware shop (1:27) discuss a mysterious stranger.

'Canada Maple Sugar Time' is a vintage Canadian wintery sweet treat. It relays the process of harvesting and producing maple sugar through lightly wooded and snow crusted maple forests of the Quebec. Origins of this sticky sweet process can be traced directly to Quebec; first accounts of maple sugaring were reported by Andre Thevet; the French priest and explorer in the 1600's. Production began among settlers somewhere between the 1700s and 1800s. Maple butter was invented in 1932 and by 1951; maple syrup cans lined grocery store shelves. Maple sugaring begins in mid-February to late April; lasting about five to six weeks. Traditional methods are exemplified in the feature; maple trunks are tapped allowing sap to pour through and the sap is then boiled. The film is presented by the Canadian National Film Board; Canada’s public film and digital media distributor and producer. The organization is an agency of the Government of Canada and was originally founded in 1939. The film was likely created to entice viewers to travel to Quebec and to try their popular sticky sweet commodity. 

The film opens with landscape shots in the St. Lawrence Valley and hamlets of Quebec (:32). Horses drag plows over lightly snow covered grounds (:40). Wide shots capture the forest (:50). The farmer wades through the snow with wide snow shoes (:55). His dog trails behind with a small cart (:59). The farmer enters the sugar bush with harvesting tools (1:13) to first tap the tree. Close shots watch the spout hammered in (1:58). Sap drips out (2:10). The sap farmer moves from tree to tree in the snow (2:40). The farmer’s ox (2:44) or horse is often used to drag the sled (2:48). The pail of sap is emptied (3:11...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/885ad0ba-5668-465d-9d01-a8dadd4f3e1a/64893c4a-bcee-48cd-b90e-821305fcef7d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hQzUAytDBQLNoiiYLQyQbo</video:player_loc><video:duration>514</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T18:40:49.424Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/n2RGDxcQmQCxdbjbrWcYX8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c5138b47-e746-44a4-8a8c-7ce1b6e40719.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" BODY ARMOR AND YOU "  1970s GOODYEAR AEROSPACE   CERAMIC ARMOR PLATE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM  GG29115</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to the 1970s, "Body Armor and You", was produced by Goodyear Aerospace. In 1968, the U.S. Air Force tasked the Materials Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base with developing advanced body armor for aircrew operating in high-risk missions. Goodyear Aerospace was awarded the contract to design lightweight, effective armor capable of stopping threats from metal fragments to .30 caliber armor-piercing rounds. Using boron carbide ceramic backed by fiberglass and a ballistic nylon spall shield, the armor proved highly effective in testing. Two main carrier types were created: a front carrier for back parachute users and a jacket-style for chest harness or no-harness wearers. Evaluations across different aircraft demonstrated that crews could wear the armor without impairing their duties and could quickly remove it in emergencies.

Created by Thomas J. Lipton Inc. to promote the 1964 America's Cup, this film highlights the rivalry between the American yacht "Constellation" and the British yacht "Sovereign." It details the trials, the design and construction of the yachts, and the various races that took place. The narrative emphasizes the skill and strategy involved in the races, the challenges faced by the crews, and the ultimate victory of "Constellation" in defending the America's Cup. The America's Cup yacht race is the oldest continuous competition in international sport, and among the world's most prestigious sporting trophies.

It highlights how the hula, once performed for Polynesian gods, is now danced for visitors, with easy-to-follow lessons from skilled teachers.

Prepared by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) after the surrender of Italy in September, 1943, this "War Department Report" is an official report for the U.S. Army general staff. It examines Axis forces strength and assesses the difficulty of the job ahead. It begins with the Gran Sasso raid, as the SS successfully rescue Mussolini from captivity. The film details Germany's industrial strength, the creation of new Army divisions, and the increase in war workers and foreign labor. It assesses Germany's food situation and production capabilities, which include new U-boats and quality weapons like the Tiger tank. It highlights the use of slave labor and examines logistics and supply lines. The film then addresses the role of strategic reserves, Lend-Lease, distribution logistics, and the challenges in the Pacific. The film concludes with the strategic challenges in attacking Japan, and the heavy price paid in manpower and equipment in the Pacific. Under Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson emphasizes the importance of logistics and preparation, using the attack on Sicily as an example, and underscores the determination to match the strength of Germany and Japan in 1944, pledging to never forget the enemy's treachery and brutality.

“Florida Fishing” is an interest piece produced by Field and Stream Magazine (circa 1940s/1950s), distributed by Hawley-Lord,  and directed by Harold McCracken. It features David Newell, who was the  editor of Field and Stream for many years. (He was also a hunter, fisherman, writer, editor, explorer, tv producer and star, wildlife and ecosystem conservationist.) The film showcases oceanic fishing on the Gulf Coast. It starts at Miami Beach's famed Rod and Reel Club, and features boats from the Pier 5 deep sea fishing fleet. The narrator describes general fishing advice and common tackle and equipment for fishing in the gulf stream. We ride along with folks on their fishing escapade, seeing a variety of commonly found fish in the area, and watching the fisherman battle the mighty creatures of the ocean. Director Harold McCracken was an American writer, Alaskan grizzly bear hunter, biplane stunt photographer, cinematographer, producer and museum director. He was most of all a noted explorer, who led expeditions in the 1920s tracing the possibility of a long-ago land bridge between Siberia and Alaska.

CBS created The Search, an educational series produced by the Public Affairs Department, in the 1950s to share scientific research with viewers in an easy-to-understand manner. The 26-episode series aired over 1954 and 1955. This episode, “Colorado School of Mines: Uranium Prospecting and Mining, Golden Colorado,” is hosted by Charles Romine and shows all the phases of the uranium rush happening on the Colorado Plateau. The film begins with footage of atomic bombs detonating (00:50; 01:08) as Romine narrates the incredible power of atomic energy that can be used for destruction or for helping human life. The key to atomic power is uranium, and Romine (01:47) takes viewers on a tour of mining uranium on the Colorado Plateau. Romine visits with Professor Paul Keating, a pioneer in uranium fields, who explains the geology of uranium and some of its early uses by the Ute and Navajo Indians. Next, Romine meets with prospectors to learn about the early stages of mining. He speaks with a prospector who owns a mine on Davis Mesa (04:28); the prospector explains how to stake a claim (05:19). Romine then goes to the Montrose County courthouse (05:48) where he learns how to file a claim for mining. Afterward, Romine visits with a successful miner in Grand Junction (07:49) and learns how to start a mine, including financing one. One way to finance is through selling stock; the film shows the Salt Lake Stock Exchange (11:26) where people are speculating on stocks. Romine travels to the Colorado School of Mines (12:19) to learn about the university’s Prospector Service, observing the samples sent in to the lab (12:46). The lab identifies what the minerals or metals are in the samples, but also allays the samples, determining the a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0f87deb6-deac-4db6-9037-024ef1c64528/f741827c-ef79-4db9-8499-7c7b9b5b205c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2VeuerFwJTpqA9gPv4kDWQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1529</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T19:29:57.033Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oHkJHb8vYr6vdjnXxkq6bU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/49f247db-3c22-48b1-a186-bc85ecdf84b0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ OFFICER STRESS AWARENESS — INTERNALIZING PROBLEMS ” 1976 POLICE PSYCHOLOGY TRAINING FILM XD26605</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

One of a series of films in the series "Officer Stress Awareness",  "Internalizing Problems" examines the psyche of the law enforcement officer, who has one of the most stressful occupations on Earth. Harper &amp; Row produced this feature as a three part series intended to spark group discussion of mental health among active and former duty police officers. The film was written and developed by George Kirkham, directed by Robert Karpas and produced by Glen Howard. Hal Studer narrates. Prominent figures contribute to the film including Martin Reiser. The year 1968 saw the first real push for psychological support within the police profession. Around that time, Behavioral Science Services (BSS) was founded with Martin Reiser leading the organization. Reiser was the first full-time psychologist in a police agency and widely considered the father of modern police psychology. William Kroes, who also appears, was the author of "Broken Cop; the Other Side of Policing".  

The film includes a look at the media's portrayal of the 'super cop;' the pressure to maintain this image and the anxiety many cops experience at having inner fears or stress interpreted as signs of weaknesses by peers.  Substance abuse somes results from improperly managed emotions. Compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma experienced from working with humans in crisis, while witnessing violence and negligence regularly, takes a toll as well . The film features officers of the Springfield Massachusetts Police Department as they conduct highway traffic stops, attend court hearings and interact with armed perpetrators.

This film "A Tale of Four Cities / A report on Expressways" was created by WREC-TV in Memphis, Tennessee. This is a detailed report on the development and impact of expressway systems in several U.S. cities, with a particular focus on Atlanta. It covers the historical context of Atlanta's rebuilding and the progress made in constructing expressways, the challenges and benefits of building expressways, including the impact on traffic, property values, and urban development, the experiences and opinions of local residents and workers regarding the expressways, and the technical aspects of expressway design, such as interchanges and access ramps, and their effects on the city's infrastructure. Note: Six interstate highways—I-20, I-75, I-85, I-285, I-575, and I-675—help metropolitan Atlanta residents get where they need to go.  Since their construction in the 1960s and 1970s, Atlanta’s interstate highways have helped fuel urban sprawl, first around the northern I-285 perimeter and Interstates 75 and 85 north of the city.

This training film "Approaches and Landings in Low Visibility By Day" was apparently made by the Blind Landing Experimental Unit, or BLEU, which was formed at RAF Woodbridge and RAF Martlesham Heath during 1945 and 1946. BLEU was a unit of the British government tasked with creating an early autolanding system for military and civilian aircraft from the late 1940s until the mid-1960s. Research during the first few years at BLEU led to the conclusion that a promising approach to blind landing would be a fully automatic system, and produced a definition of the requirements for such a system, later designated Autoland. BLEU's work resulted in an eponymous system for controlling airplane landings; Flight Lieutenant Noel Adams made the first automatic landing on 3 July 1950 in BLEU's test plane, a Vickers Varsity. The system was eventually approved for commercial use, and on 4 November 1964, Captain Eric Poole landed a British European Airways flight at Heathrow with visibility of 40 meters, which was the first use of the system to land a commercial flight in such severe conditions.The BLEU played a vital role in the development of autolanding, and descendants of its system are still in use around the world today. This film was shot by the R.A.E. Bedford Flight Photographic Group. The runways shown are likely at Heathrow, which was used by BLEU pilots for test flights when it was fogged in.

Dating to the late 1950s and hosted by actor Walter Pidgeon, "Boy with a Blindfold" was produced by Richard Lyford Productions to promote the work of the Eye Bank for Sight Restoration. The film shows the case of a young boy who is on the waitlist for a cornea transplant. The film mirrors his progress as he first enters the eye bank and awaits a transplant. Established in 1944, the non-profit Eye Bank was created in order to restore sight through corneal transplants and eye donations. The film relays recent progress in science and research as well as future goals encouraging viewers to contribute and donate to the Eye Bank. There was a high demand for corneal tissue and few donors. Filmmaker Richard Lyford worked for the First Motion Picture Unit during WWII, and later for Walt Disney. He is best known as the co-director of "The Titan", an Academy Award winning documentary about Michelangelo.

This Pan Am film "Symphony in Steel" (1963?) describes the vibrant culture and music of the Caribbean, particularly focusing on Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados. The film was written by Stanley Washburn, Jr., narrated by David de la Rosa, and produced by Brandt Enos Associates. It highlights the significance of Carnival, the creation and evolution of the steel pan by Tony Williams, and the performances of the Pan Am Jet North Stars steel orchestra. The narrative also touches on the historical and cultural diversity of the Caribbean islands, their appeal to tourists, and a special event celebrating Barbados' independence.  Note: Background on this film. Anthony Williams was a pioneer of the steel pan, along with Winston "Spree" Simon, Ellie Mannette and Neville Jules. He was part of the Trinidad All Steel Percussion Orchestra, TASPO, which visited England for the Festival of Britain in 1951. In 1953, Williams created an innovative soprano pan with the notes laid out in a circle of fifths. Because the instrument's surface looked like a spider's web, he called it the "Spider Web Pan". Williams started an all star steel band which, in 1962, received top honors in a much-heralded competition. This brought them to the attention of the local Pan Am manager David de la Rosa (a Trinidadian himself). Soon this band was sponsored and played as the "PanAm North Stars" and later as the “PanAm JET North Stars.” The band received a stipend and in return displayed the Pan Am logo at performances. In 1964, the band made a U.S. trip and played at Carnegie Hall, the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and on the Ed Sullivan Show. After a useful affiliation, Williams ended h...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c0071d96-77d2-431b-b3d3-a46891302bce/82283a68-07ce-465b-a6f8-f8ddb05ae274-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pHjxU7t3D2SaHubi7twq1f</video:player_loc><video:duration>834</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T19:52:33.997Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9FdmJNRc2tqC4DQ5UbfVFK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/88577d3b-57ea-40e3-804d-1a0e77eb1e98.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ AMERICANS AT WORK — POULTRY WORKERS ” 1950s AFL-CIO UNION CHICKEN INDUSTRY WORKERS  GG44595</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

“Americans at Work - Poultry Workers” is one of a series of films created by the National Trade Union Center of the AFL-CIO between 1958-60. The series shows the value of the industry worker in various fields during a period revolutionized by mechanized production. During the mid-1950’s the poultry industry was evolving, with the feed mills, hatcheries, farms and processors evolving into the commercial broiler industry. (The commercial broiler industry is a highly technical agricultural sector that involves raising and processing chickens for meat consumption). This film begins with the importance of food in modern life and shows how food production played a crucial role in the development of human civilization. It traces the path from hunting and gathering to mass production.  It also looks at the specifics of poultry plants and the bird’s journey from farm to processing plants and various inspections, to the dinner plate. It features the Rockingham Poultry Market which opened in Rockingham, West Virginia in 1927. The modern turkey and chicken industry can be traced to Rockingham County due to this plant. 

00:00 The film opens with swinging holiday tunes (:10) and a roasted chicken breast awaiting a chef with sharpened cutlery. The opening segment ties in how food and family are the heart of society. Kids tear into meat bones (:44). Food gathering and storage changed from an as needed basis to developing the ability to store food in advance for future appetites. Poultry processors in a chicken factory begin to defeather an incoming crop of chickens (:48). Aerial shots pass over a local domesticated poultry farm (1:21). Chickens peck at seeds on the ground (1:48).

Dating to 1945, "Camouflage - Individual Concealment" (TF 21-2098) looks at the importance of correct camouflage for concealment of the individual soldier. It includes a look at methods, procedure, and techniques of camouflaging — including methods of darkening face, hands, and neck.

00:00: A well-dressed soldier walks down a city street, discusses the impracticality of his attire concealing him in different environments. He finds the desert unsuitable as well. The desert isn't suitable for him, even joking about not being able to fool the lizards. In the snow, he stands out like a walking Christmas tree. He finds the woods more suitable, blending in better and being less of a target.

0:56: Emphasizes the importance of getting close to the enemy before being spotted and need to be "Dressed to Kill" through -- camouflage. 

1:12: Lesson one is about considering how you look to the enemy. The enemy has ways to find out your position.  A shiny helmet can give away your position.
 
1:49: A soldier named Pete helps demonstrate camouflage techniques. How to dull the shine on a helmet using a net and foliage. Importance of changing foliage and matching surroundings.

2:37: Talks about using burlap or colored cloth for camouflage. How to break up the shadow under the helmet.

3:14: Discusses the importance of darkening the face. How light skin can stand out and how to use a camouflage stick.

Made in 1913-1914 for the Pacific Electric, this silent motorman and conductor training film was rescued from destruction by Robert Warr and Wally Shidler. Only about ¼ of the original production survived, but what does remain provides an intriguing look back on the early days of the Los Angeles streetcar system.

The film starts aboard high speed interurban car 855 with a female passenger who was shaken up (this part of the film is missing but it seems safe to assume she was shaken up due to a motorman improperly starting the car before she was aboard). She is assisted by male passengers. At :42, a more careful conductor sees a passenger approaching and waits for her to be be aboard before giving the motorman the proceed signal (bell). At 1:58, a conductor (who wasn't paying attention and missed the signal) argues with a female passenger who supposedly didn't tell him that she needed to get off. She has to walk back to the platform. At 2:46, car 855 arrives at a station and passengers get on and off. At 2:57,  car 547 operates at too high a rate of speed in a "slow" area. The car ends up striking a pedestrian walking on a bridge on the Glendale line. This is followed at 3:47 by a motorman who follows the rules, operates at slow speed and prevents a disaster. At 5:02, a car operating at high speed passes another one that is discharging passengers, endangering them. This is once again followed by a re-enactment with cars following proper speed procedure. At 6:08, an automatic flagman / safety signal fails to operate correctly and an automobile is almost struck by streetcar 546. At 6:17, a more careful motorman notices the signal isn't working, and ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b38078a3-bb6f-4f31-94bb-380111ec4085/abd91343-881b-462f-be0c-8c62b733a7c5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oaBfNxCxDcQhH77iU5Lvck</video:player_loc><video:duration>625</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T20:03:04.004Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/b4BYX6cUNXEaqgngu2kcYJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/74bb2769-cb43-4b1d-8f66-bb8901874fb3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" HEMO THE MAGNIFICENT ”   1957 BELL SCIENCE SERIES FILM     WORK OF THE BLOOD    PART 1 MD10285</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This part of the film focuses on blood and its connection to nature and human life. It covers the connection between seawater and human blood, human origins and the evolution of organisms themselves. It digs deep into the circulatory system, highlighting the roles of capillaries and gate keeper muscles which regulate blood flow. It also relays the challenges scientists face in their continued effort to understand mechanisms behind blood flow regulation at microscopic levels.

Shot by an unknown amateur filmmaker, this silent home movie takes viewers to Kentucky in 1937. It is a sun washed day dream through the heart of the Appalachian littered with spindly pine trees and ghosts of film history’s past. The film includes a look at the Dix Dam in Garrard County, Cumberland Falls State Park as well as the Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park in LaRue County. Dix Dam was erected in 1923 on the Dix River as a way to generate hydro electricity and prevent flooding of the Kentucky River. It also produced Herrington Lake. In 1937, Kentucky was hit with a major flood; the Ohio River Flood, and War Admiral took the win at the Kentucky Derby. (Note: "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" is also a 1908 novel about appalachia; it was made into an adventure romance western film based in 1936, just a year before this film was shot. Virginia State Route 160, which runs from the Kentucky state line to Appalachia, Virginia, is also known as the Trail of the Lonesome Pine. )

This short opens with images of a sign noting the start of Trail of the Lonesome Pine (:09). Shots capture skinny pine trees (:25) along the trail. A bubbling small waterfall rolls over rocks (:31) as an elated child watches. Wide shots cover lush hills (:44). Overhead views pass over the city (:56) and residential area. Highways snake out from a grid of suburban homes (1:19). A river cuts through thick foliage (1:31). A wooden observation tower follows (1:53). A monument near Cumberland Falls stands dedicated to T.

"A Day with the Governor" is an educational film made by filmmaker Richard Lyford in the mid to late 1940's. Lyford worked for the First Army Motion Picture Unit during WWII, and made films for Walt Disney and corporate clients in the post-war era. He is probably best known for co-directing "The Titan", an Academy Award winning documentary about Michelangelo. "A Day With the Governor" profiles West Virginia Governor Clarence W. Meadows. Meadows was the 22nd governor serving from 1945 to 1949. Meadows' main goals while in office were to push for an increase in traffic and transportation to the state in order to increase commerce as well as ameliorating a labor strife of the coal industry. After his term concluded, Meadows returned to his law practice; he died at the young age of 57, possibly due to the fact that (as seen in the film) he was a chain smoker. The film tours through West Virginia; captures the inner city, industrial areas, government buildings as well as buzzing scenes of government around the capital. It also includes shots of coal miners towards the conclusion.

 "The Science of Oil" was produced by filmmaker Richard Lyford for ARAMCO, also known as the Saudi Arabian Oil Corp. ARAMCO is a massive oil giant; the largest oil producer and repeated winner of the largest annual profits in global corporations and the second largest oil company in the world by revenue. The oil giant is headquartered in Dhahran with origins beginning with oil shortages of WW1.  This intricately made film includes mock up images of oil fields and live shots of the Ras Tanura Oil Field. The film explains how fossil fuels are formed as well as how to search for oil including the intricate process for drilling and various tools used.

The camera spins over sands (:16); the narrator muses over sources of dark oil hidden below. The film is presented by the Arabian American Oil Company (:38). A map of Saudi Arabia (1:01) notes locations of mountain ranges. The formation of the country from the sea (1:21) leads to an explanation of the creation of fossil fuels and oil reservoirs (2:30). Samples of rocks collected from Saudi Arabia (2:44) prove to contain fossils. A C-500 Winch (3:05) tugs an oil drill forward. A small unidentified propeller plane drives up (3:18). Aerial shots of an oil drilling operation lead to the question of how to search for oil (3:23). The quest begins with aerial photographs and ground surveys (3:37).

This silent training film "Daytime Fog Landings" was made by the Blind Landing Experimental Unit, or BLEU, which was formed at RAF Woodbridge and RAF Martlesham Heath during 1945 and 1946. BLEU was a unit of the British government tasked with creating an early autolanding system for military and civilian aircraft from the late 1940s until the mid-1960s. Research during the first few years at BLEU led to the conclusion that a promising approach to blind landing would be a fully automatic system, and produced a definition of the requirements for such a system, later designated Autoland. BLEU's work resulted in an eponymous system for controlling airplane landings; Flight Lieutenant Noel Adams made the first automatic landing on 3 July 1950 in BLEU's test plane, a Vickers Varsity. The system was eventually approved for commercial use, and on 4 November 1964, Captain Eric Poole landed a British European Airways flight at Heathrow with visibility of 40 meters, which was the first use of the system to land a commercial flight in such severe conditions.The BLEU played a vital role in the development of autolanding, and descendants of its system are still in use around the world today. This film was shot by the R.A.E. Bedford Flight Photographic Group. The runways shown are likely at Heathrow, which was used by BLEU pilots for test flights when it was fogged in.

Created by the University of California and Charles Cahill Productions to highlight the importance of seatbelts and the work of the Institute of Transportation and Traffic Engineering, "Broken Glass" dates to 1963. The film shows the risks associated with different driving speeds and the impact of collisions. It includes demonstrations of controlled impacts, part of experiments conducted by the University of California to study car crashes and improve safety. This includes the use of anthropometric dummies to measure the effects of collisions on passengers.  The importance of safety seat belts and shoulder harnesses in preventing injuries is shown, as well as the dangers to unrestrained children in car accidents and the use of lifelike dolls in experiments. The conclusion of the film emphasises the driver's role in ensuring safety by being attentive and careful. 

0:21: Introduction mentioning a police report about an accident where a driver hit another car at less than 30 miles per hour. A hearse is shown and the narrator mentions the irony that the driver will be driven to his funeral in the hearse, at roughly the same speed as his accident.

More about filmmaker Richard Lyford: https://edhartmanmusic.com/it-gets-in-your-blood-reviews-news-pics

Commissioned by ARAMCO, "The Explorers" explains how geologists hunt oil in the sands of Saudi Arabia. Filmmaker Richard Lyford, who created the film, was an American who worked for Walt Disney and, in 1951, relocated to Saudi Arabia and produced a well-received movie entitled "Island of Allah". Presumably the success of that film led Lyford to be hired to make this one. Here, viewers get a brief history of Middle Eastern fossil fuels, how they are formed beneath the surface and how geologists hunt for oil. Saudi Aramco, or the Arabian American Oil Company, is a state-owned oil and natural gas company that is the national oil company of Saudi Arabia. It was founded after 1938 when oil was discovered in modern day Dhahran. Within two decades; Saudi Arabia exported over two billion barrels of oil. 

A Middle Eastern man / Arab picks up a shell from sand (1:35).  Diagrams show layers of the Earth’s crust (3:26) and the variation in rock layers (4:54). Wind blows over sands of the face of the Eastern Province (5:29). Reservoirs of oil were believed to be hidden below (5:38). An ARAMCO Douglas DC-4 Skymaster conducts aerial surveys (5:41). Oil geologists stick collected images together collected from the aerial survey (6:11). They spot traces (6:22) of a basin. Two teams of two head out to hunt for oil (6:50). Oil geologists use tools like the Brunton pocket compass (6:57) and collect rocks from an outcrop (7:10) searching for fossil marks. Grain, color and texture are noted; the rock is identified as porous limestone (7:17). An oil geologists measures (7:28) the position of the outcrop and basin (7:32). Map makers formulate patterns (7:41). Magnetic connection and gravity are meas...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/25f6ae8f-6195-4d8b-a72a-171f10d2a876/ed11177c-72b2-4e14-893f-6915a00b0fd5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5FU7YizbT4oso5g6diKfq7</video:player_loc><video:duration>1266</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T20:33:55.118Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qdsaiR6tMCrPHpsp9TNfaD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3d094209-5593-4dc9-8dcd-63a891cfe899.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ OUR MR.

This film "Our Mr. Sun" is one of the episodes of the Bell Science Series. This was a special series of nine films created between 1956 and 1964 by Bell Telephone / AT&amp;T corporation. These were crafted with entertaining animation and storylines that presented complex science theory in a clever way. Director Frank Capra wrote the screenplay for “Our Mr. Sun” with help from a scientific advisory board. (Donald Menzel's book titled “Our Sun” published in 1949, was also used.) This feature takes a look at our Sun, the physics of how it works, and its effect on the Earth. Possibilities for utilizing solar energy are explored, the spectroheliograph is put to use and the Sun’s historical as well as mythological significance to ancient civilizations are relayed.

A dialogue begins between a fictional scientist and writer about the birth of the Sun (1:07). Personified characters including Father Time and Mr. Sun are introduced (1:54) behind a “curtain of imagination.” It begins with mythological understandings (4:03); various scenes in nature awake to the sun (4:31). The Sun announces himself as a star (4:59) over images of stars in the galaxy. Early civilizations believed the sun was a God and constructed numerous temples to honor these God’s (5:46). The Greek’s honored Apollo (6:12). Anaxagoras (6:35) first contested these ideas. Though he was exiled; his theories spread (7:08).

Part 2 begins with a discussion on thermonuclear reactions. It also digs shows early work in solar energy and hints that it could be a replacement for fossil fuels. 

00:00 The title screen appears (:11). It begins with thermonuclear reactions and recent understandings on the sun’s energy (:24). Studies conducted by Hans Bethe in 1938 (:59) showed the sun’s energy is the result of hydrogen converting into helium. The mass difference is converted into energy. This is known as hydrogen transfusion. An animation follows including a character named “Therma the Magician” designed to explain the Sun’s magic (1:32). He explains the carbon cycle (3:50) and the hydrogen bomb. The proton-proton chain (5:00), sun’s inner temperature (5:51) and continuous potential for energy production are explained.

Created in 1947 to document the Burks family's trip across the U.S. west, this well made home movie "Western Panorama" features title cards throughout. We don't know anything about the filmmaker or this family -- but the movie is great. The film begins somewhere in Nebraska, and then shows tourist attractions and natural features in South Dakota and Wyoming, including Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone and the Tetons. The family apparently consisted of a husband, wife, and their son who looks to be a pre-teen.

Dating to 1951 and made by the Jam Handy Organization for the U.S. Navy, these three "Aircraft Recognition Soviet Jet Aircraft" were essential viewing for pilots, crew and anti-aircraft gunners during the Korean War. The first film profiles the Mig-15 and begins with motion picture images from Soviet propaganda films before using animation / composite shots that utilize a model and rear-screen projection (1:20).  At (1:46) the narrator discussed the swept-back wings of the aircraft, which allowed it to achieve high transonic speeds. At (2:58) a side view of the aircraft is shown, and the narrator discusses the swept-back fin, high horizontal stabilizer, and forward canopy. At (4:10) the narrator discusses the aircraft's armament.  At (5:09) the model aircraft makes pursuit runs and demonstrates its high performance characteristics. The film ends with shots from an American gun camera of a Mig-15 being pursued and hit. 

At (6:29) the Yak 15 Modified aircraft is profiled with images from Soviet propaganda films of the planes flying in formation. At (7:00), models and animation show the plane's characteristics. At 10:50 the narrator says "There are lots of Yak-15s so get to know them now." 

At (11:14) the Mig-9 Aircraft is featured. 

The MiG-9 was the first turbojet fighter developed by Mikoyan-Gurevich in the years immediately after World War II. It used reverse-engineered German BMW 003 engines. Categorized as a first-generation jet fighter, it suffered from persistent problems with engine flameouts when firing its guns at high altitudes due to gun gas ingestion. A number of different armament configurations were tested, but none solved the problem. Several different engines were ev...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/844c5409-b6a4-40fb-8c94-1a135c85e01d/5e2489c1-6861-4fec-8534-bcdb6390439e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hkwN7jYTip5dabzqqUhWpg</video:player_loc><video:duration>877</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T20:45:41.825Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8esT8mFMhirAcxXfHTp2or</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/78eeaff3-17ff-4ee5-b779-f057764be316.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"TRACTOR SAFETY"  1970s AMERICAN FARM BUREAU   TRACTOR ROLL-OVER ACCIDENT PREVENTION FILM GG36675</video:title><video:description>Help us preserve, scan and post more rare and endangered films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This public service announcement from the American Farm Bureau Federation, "Tractor Safety" (1970s) looks at some of the roll over accidents that (at the time) caused hundreds of fatalities and severe injuries per annum. These incidents could be minimized with the use of proper safety equipment such as roll cages. The film emphasizes the essential role tractors play in modern American farming, highlighting their power and mobility across various terrains. While they contribute significantly to the nation’s high standard of living, tractors also pose serious safety risks. Claude De St. Paer, a safety expert, explains the importance of using safety measures such as the Slow-Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem, protective rollover frames, and seat belts. These precautions are critical, as nearly 1,000 tractor-related fatalities occur each year—most due to overturns. Protective structures help prevent deadly rollovers by creating a safety zone, and seat belts ensure the operator remains within that zone. The PSA concludes by stressing that while safety devices may cost money, they are a necessary and life-saving investment.

Filmed in 1947, this silent home movie shows a ride on the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, starting at about (:45) mark. Steam locomotive #375 is shown assembling a freight train. This is a class C-25 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type, steam locomotive built in 1903 the Baldwin Locomotive Works and the only C-25 ever built. It was scrapped about two years after this film was shot in 1949.  At (1:31) engine #475 is shown with a long passenger train behind it. This is a K-28 class 2-8-2 "Mikado" type narrow gauge steam locomotive built by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO).

At (4:27) a Rio Grande work train complete with crew bunk car and snowplow, shown on a siding. One of the cars is marked "Rotary OM" which was affiliated with one of two Leslie snowplows. There were four snowplows -- OM, ON, OO and OY -- which were stationed so they could rapidly be brought to the lines most likely to be blocked by snow during winter. 

The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad (reporting mark DRGW), often shortened to Rio Grande, D&amp;RG or D&amp;RGW, formerly the Denver &amp; Rio Grande Railroad, was an American Class I railroad company. The railroad started as a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow-gauge line running south from Denver, Colorado, in 1870. It served mainly as a transcontinental bridge line between Denver and Salt Lake City, Utah. The Rio Grande was also a major origin of coal and mineral traffic.

Dating to WWII, "Air Navigation Map Reading" (Part 1 of 2; we do not have second part) is an official Royal Air Force training film that was shown to navigator trainees as part of their curriculum. It was made by Science Films Ltd. of London with photography by Norman S. Macqueen. The film shows a navigation problem encountered by a bomber that has made a raid on Dieppe in Occupied France, and has diverted from its planned course due to an attack by enemy fighter aircraft. Now the navigator must plot a new course for home through broken clouds, which he does using landmarks, a map and a navigation computer. At the start of the film, the navigator's hand is shown tracing routes on a map. At (1:26) the methodology of the film is shown, with a camera aimed out of the front window of the aircraft so as to show the approximate view of the navigator. At (1:59) bends of the coast line near Beachy Head, UK in Sussex are lined up by the navigator so as to learn his location. At (2:15) the experienced navigator assesses the shape of the headland and looks for other identifying marks including the lack of a railway line, to determine that it is in fact Beachy Head. Now that he knows his position, the navigator plots a new course home, with care taken to avoid a restricted area near Thames Haven. Again the navigator is shown drawing a course with a ruler and table plotter (3:24). At (3:37) he uses a navigational computer to set a heading using true air speed. (This appears to be a Royal Air Force Navigational Computer (Computor) Mk. IIIH unit.) At (4:26) the aircraft clock is used by the navigator to time mark intervals so as to calculate speed of 172 mph. Using the slide rule on the rear of the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d82e1ffb-76fd-429d-80da-ae09a92e22b6/4d07bf47-84b5-4601-ba9f-a7051459db59-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sGitvPN77CSQmRNC2JPJtq</video:player_loc><video:duration>1264</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T20:55:25.687Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/q2M9ya1MqDnvrd2cHnCywV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cfe1c451-0ee7-4102-b9e1-4e0652d356d8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1966 UNITED STATES INFORMATION AGENCY NEWSREEL  LBJ VISITS MEXICO CITY  AVIATION INNOVATIONS SM10685</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

One in a series of short films produced by Petersen Productions in the 1960s, this episode of "Travel Time" is titled "International Airport" and features images of the then-new Los Angeles International Airport or LAX. This was directed by James Fitzpatrick and produced by Chris Petersen. The film shows the new terminal area west of Sepulveda Blvd. This "jet age" area started opening in 1961 and as shown in the film, each terminal had a satellite building out in the middle of the ramp, reached by tunnels from the ticketing area. The film probably dates to after 1964,  when the airport had achieved true international status with service by Aeronaves, Air France, JAL, TWA, UTA, Varig and Western in addition to Mexicana, Pan Am and SAS.

The film begins with the International Court of Flags at the airport before showing images of some of the many airlines that fly there including Pan Am, Mexicana, Japan Airlines, Air France and more. At :52 the control tower is shown followed by the Theme Building and a parking lot that the narrator says will hold 5000 cars. At (1:15), shots from the theme building looking down into the parking lot.  At 1:30, corridors to a satellite building where the gates are located.

This 1950s film IBM promo film "Direct Line to Decision with EDPM" (Electronic Data Processing Machines) was produced by Thomas Lowther.  According to his company bio, Lowther supposedly sold more IBM computers than anyone in the world during his lifetime.The film outlines the evolution of business data processing from manual methods to advanced electronic systems. As businesses grew in complexity during the 20th century, the need for faster, more efficient ways to manage vast amounts of data became critical. IBM's introduction of electronic data processing (EDP) machines, such as the IBM 650 and 701, revolutionized operations by automating tasks that were once time-consuming and error-prone. These systems allowed businesses to process data quickly, manage inventory efficiently, and make informed decisions using timely, accurate information. By incorporating innovations like magnetic tape, high-speed printers, and variable data fields, IBM's systems streamlined operations, reduced costs, and enabled businesses to adapt to the expanding demands of the economy, ensuring continued growth and efficiency. (Note: The IBM 650 was IBM's first mass-produced computer and a significant step in the development of digital computing. It was introduced in 1953. The IBM 701, released in 1952, was IBM's first commercial electronic data processing machine and a key step in the company's shift from punched-card systems to electronic computers. Initially known as the Defense Calculator, it represented a significant leap compared to its predecessors.)

Chevrolet’s mid-1950s (1955?) short film, “Modern Engine Series, Volume 4: It’s Been There Before,” produced by Jam Handy, promotes Chevrolet Task-Force trucks. The Chevrolet Task Force was Chevrolet's successor to the Advance Design trucks. The Task Force Series ran from late 1955 (second series) through 1959. At GMC locations, it was called the Blue Chip Series. The 1955 second series offered standard options and add-ons such as 12-volt electrical systems, the first V8 (the 265 cubic inch), and fleet-side six-, seven-, and eight-foot length beds.The film shows how Chevy trucks are tested in a variety of conditions to ensure they can handle the rigors any given Chevrolet owner will put it through. A General Motors representative named Bob Trent at GM’s Technical Center in Warren, Michigan, (00:26) narrates the film. Several different Chevrolet truck owners are featured, with the narrator taking the audience through how the owners use their trucks in their respective professions and how each truck is tested for those conditions at GM’s Technical Center. The first owner is William L. Mann of Kill Devil Hills, NC; he is an independent contractor who drives a 1955 Chevrolet Task-Force Stake truck (00:55) on the beaches of North Carolina searching for gravel deposits. He can spend time with his family because his truck is reliable, for “it’s been there before”: the same model of truck (02:34) is subjected to extreme temperatures, wind tunnels, and a brine tank, simulating conditions that owners like William Mann will encounter on the beaches of North Carolina. Metal and paint finishes are also tested (03:04). The next Chevrolet owner the film presents is a uranium miner named Sherman As...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7c51bae6-e0a3-4c8b-9361-2151487c7997/470d48cc-8de3-4349-ad74-18e3e34daf71-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gmompsdg3rH2szT3466RTM</video:player_loc><video:duration>579</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T21:23:21.229Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9vVVUkCa8fAkWu55L9b8yr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e9cb4a0a-ac31-4e2e-9ae3-c5393441a3a2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" TELEVISION "  1954 RCA VICTOR TV PROMO w/ DAVID GARROWAY  BF10045</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This short home movie shows the operation of the Ministerio de la Industria Azucarera (MINAZ) narrow gauge railroad at the Esteban Hernandez Sugar Mill in Marti, Matanzas, Cuba. The #2 locomotive 2-8-0 (apparently previously #1616, made by Vulcan Iron Works) is visible in much of the film, but for a brief segment at :50 another  2’6" gauge  locomotive is shown. It's not clear when this film was shot but it likely dates to the 1970s; the line ceased to be steam powered circa 2005.  The Esteban Hernandez mill was the top producer in Matanzas province, and has high quality cane, which accounts for its survival when other seemingly larger mills have fallen silent. At one time Cuba had many active steam locomotives, in the modern era only a handful remain in the national museum.

Presented in Portuguese, this Pan Am promotional film celebrates the 50,000th crossing of the Atlantic by Pan Am. This film was rescued by one of our fans, Ted Mikolaski, and isn't in the best shape -- but it sure is fascinating! It dates to 1955 and features the Boeing Stratocruiser aircraft which was in service with the airline at that time. Pan American World Airways, originally founded as Pan American Airways and more commonly known as Pan Am, was an airline that was the principal and largest international air carrier and unofficial overseas flag carrier of the United States for much of the 20th century.

Here is a home movie and two short, silent, tinted films produced by Cine Art Productions in 1927: “The Grand Canyon #3 &amp; #4”. Cine Art, which operated for just six short years, was predominantly known for making short silent titillating “nudie cuties”, but their catalog also included non-fiction travelogues. These films cover the Hopi Native American tribe and present scenes of the Grand Canyon. The first portion includes images of the Hopi within home dwellings and making native baskets as well as sweeping shots of the Grand Canyon covering Mohave and Hopi Point. The second portion (03:40) features Zoroaster Temple, a 7,123-foot-elevation summit located in the Grand Canyon. The reel concludes (7:12) with a home movie shot by a tourist, showing the Hopi performing a ritualistic dance for white onlookers. The Hopi are a long surviving tribe residing predominately in Arizona. The Grand Canyon is culturally significant among members considered to be a place of emergence. Hopi have a strong spiritual connection to the land, with rich traditions are rooted in corn and in the belief it is of man’s highest duty to tend to the land. They are a Puebloan group recognized for unique agricultural practices especially dry farming in such a challenging, arid environment.

Produced by Gallagher Films of Green Bay and Milwaukee, this short reel advertises the DeVry Bantam 16mm Sound Motion Picture Equipment Model 14000 projector which was developed in the 1930s by the DeVry Corporation of Chicago. Herman Adolf DeVry, who was described in his early years as a “roving mechanical savant” by Educational Screen magazine in 1941, found himself working at the Industrial Film Company where he would become one of the first to pioneer and successfully market new portable motion picture projectors. Rising through the ranks of the company he gained control of it, changing its name to the DeVry Corporation and thus beginning a journey of endeavors in portable motion picture technology, as well as in education. The first Model E sold over 50,000 units to schools. The company also sold 35mm projectors to movie theaters across the nation, which featured the hallmark silent chain drive mechanism also found in the Bantam 16mm. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, the company would sell thousands of portable projectors to schools and to the U.S. government, thus revolutionizing the access of motion pictures and earning Herman DeVry the title The Father of Visual Education.

Produced by B.K. Blake with J.M. Mathes, Inc. and the Capehart-Farnsworth Service Department, this is a rare 1950s-era black-and-white TV repairman training film. Here, good customer service is referred to as the “sale after the sale” where the salesman delivers a sale and the serviceman creates a happy and loyal customer. This film follows service technician Joe as he installs a 1950 Capehart Virginian TV set in a suburban family home. In the first half of the film, Joe exemplifies what NOT to do on the job while in the second half he exemplifies a job well done.  The Capehart-Farnsworth brand was created by inventor Philo T. Farnsworth, the famous founder of Philco. After Farnsworth was forced out of Philco, he bought the struggling Capehart radio and phonograph company (originally created by Homer E. Capehart) and renamed it the Farnsworth Television &amp; Radio Corp. It sold TVs throughout the 1950s and ceased production in 1965.  Note: this film was rescued by Johnathan Brouwer, who provided it to Periscope Film for scanning and preservation.

Part of the Army/Navy Screen Magazine series, this film newsreel consists of several segments.  The first,  "They Fly the Aleutians" shows the activities of the air crews based in the Andreanofs Islands within striking range of Japanese held Kiska and Attu.

Next, a short and funny "Confidential Report to Adolph" (3:50) introduces a segment about Radioplane drones.  The OQ-2 Radioplane shown was the first mass-produced UAV or drone in the United States. A follow-on version, the OQ-3, became the most widely used target aircraft in US service, with over 9,400 being built during World War II.

The OQ-2 was originally a small radio controlled aircraft model designed by Walter Righter. The design, along with its engine design, was purchased by actor Reginald Denny, who had demonstrated another model to the US Army in 1940. Calling the new design the RP-2, he demonstrated several updated versions to the Army as the RP-2, RP-3 and RP-4 in 1939.In 1940, the Army placed an order for 53 RP-4s, designating them the OQ-1, the OQ meaning a "subscale target". This small order led to a much bigger 1941 order for the similar RP-5, which became the US Army OQ-2. The US Navy also bought the drone, designating it TDD-1, for Target Dr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8adabb26-90f6-497f-88a7-81c656be37b2/54285023-1710-46a7-9bb0-35cd0711e71c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/i9ugPpffYpuZ4uHaTF6VSj</video:player_loc><video:duration>433</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T21:52:39.432Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5qR2hhcnTUjvayUx2ZtwvC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/da581d49-d395-4975-bcda-a777007426a2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE RIOT MAKERS" UNDERLYING CAUSES OF 1960s RACE RIOTS &amp; CAMPUS DISTURBANCES DOCUMENTARY  GG34545</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Made in 1972, "The Riot Makers" was produced by the International Association of Chiefs of Police and U.S. Department of Justice. The film presents an investigation into the causes of racial and campus disturbances that characterized the late 1960s. This controversial film opens with a timeline of major riots following the 1964 Harlem unrest and Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1968 assassination, arguing that social and economic issues, though significant, were not the sole causes. The film claims that trained agitators—referred to as "Lenonoids" after Lenin—systematically used techniques of mass manipulation, propaganda, and preconditioning to incite violence. Prominent figures like Abbie Hoffman, Rennie Davis, and Tom Hayden are profiled as examples of this new breed of activists, allegedly using discontent and media exposure to provoke chaos for ideological or personal reasons.The conclusion is that the Leftist movement in the U.S. had its roots not just in the Soviet Union, but in Hitler's Germany. Each provocateur was “a graduate engineer in social demolition."

0:00 – Introduction begins with a depiction of widespread urban unrest, starting with the Harlem riot in July 1964 and escalating to 105 major riots over the next three summers.0:43 – The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968 leads to violence in 140 cities, prompting federal intervention.1:14 – The "riot era" begins, sparking national debate over its causes, with emphasis shifting to agitators who intentionally incited violence.2:46 – The film claims civil disturbances are not spontaneous but strategically orchestrated, comparing agitators to trained revolutionaries.3:03 – Riots are described as engineered events, much like chemical or engineering processes, using calculated s...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/23dc9db5-7d3e-4989-b7f0-99bf73c0a316/1b47078b-3300-45dc-bf93-64eb94f2e631-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5qR2hhcnTUjvayUx2ZtwvC</video:player_loc><video:duration>1704</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T21:58:17.961Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1b9tWiP33puVYBxPCFKsHN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/58db6c00-d96f-4293-ae3b-414886ed04af.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE LAND OF CRIMSON CLIFFS " 1950s TRIP TO MONUMENT VALLEY, ARIZONA &amp; NAVAJO  PEOPLES  GG44975</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1950s "World School of Adventure" film entitled "Land of Crimson Cliffs" shows an expedition made by Sullivan C. Richardson and Arnold Whitaker in what appears to be a 1953 Dodge M37 truck.  The pair survey the landscapes of Utah and other areas of the Red Desert, including the Navajo peoples who live in Monument Valley. The film includes footage of a Navajo family at leisure, laughing and sitting outdoors. Also documented are portions of a two-day healing chant. This ritual begins with a group of four men participating in a sweat ceremony inside a small mud hogan and once done, finishing with a ritual ablution with sand. Following this, the filmmakers record a Navajo medicine man (hataałii) carefully constructing a sandpainting ('iikááh) depicting “Pollen Boy on the Sun.” Once complete, a little boy, of three or four years old, is set down onto the sandpainting and the medicine man begins the sing, keeping time with a rattle. Once complete, the small boy is lifted from the painting and dusted clean; off camera, the sand painting is erased. "Crimson Cliffs" was presented by Viking Pictures / 20th Century Vikings and was produced and narrated by Sullivan C. Richardson, a journalist who wrote a book entitled "Adventure South".  Richardson's Viking Pictures was founded in 1947 in Chicago. It produced instructional and corporate films for clients.  

1:24 - The narrator Sullivan C. Richardson and Arnold Whitaker set out to explore the southeastern corner of Utah, where four states meet at a single point-- the Four Corners.

This 1977 educational film " 'In'side Word Processing" was a presentation by the Information Management Corporation (IMC) and produced by Moynihan Associates. It was apparently one film in a series. The title might imply to a modern audience that the film is about computers, but in reality it is all about voice dictation devices, and options in choosing dictation systems. The film provides an overview of the history of dictation machines, shows how they work, and their advantages for consumers and business. This film includes many different types of "word processing machines" -- dictaphones of various types --  and explains the features and benefits of each one. It contains footage of transcriptionists at work. Additionally, it describes new advancements in the field that allow for more efficient dictation and transcription.

Dictation machines, referred to in this film as word processing machines, are used to record speech and then transcribe the speech into writing. The first dictation machine was the Tel-Edisette in the 1920s, invented by Valdemar Poulsen. By using a magnetic wire, users could record audio and then play it back later in order to transcribe the speech. The Dictaphone emerged in the 1940s and was easier to use in comparison thanks to its magnetic tape. Then, in the 1960s, cassette-based word processing machines began to appear.

This short documentary from 1945 shows the life of a United States Coast Guard dog, reminiscently narrated from the point of view of a Doberman Pinscher. Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc and the Vitaphone Corporation and in co-operation with and photographed by the United States Coast Guard, “Story Of A Dog” takes us on the journey that service dogs of the era go through as they are received, inspected, housed and fed, trained, and then deployed to serve on duty in the Pacific theatre of World War II. Both the handlers and the dogs (mostly German Shepherds and Doberman Pinschers) go through basic and advanced training, facing rigorous obstacle courses, owner training, and war dog tactics. Note: this print is missing the final minute.

00:00 This short segment from the TV show "You Asked for It" (1953?) features a demonstration of what happens when a fluorescent tube is moved close to the dome of a Van De Graaff generator while it is running. The large electric field around the dome of the generator creates a potential difference between the ends of the fluorescent tube that is great enough to cause the gas inside the tube to break down, causing the tube to glow. The bit begins with host Art Baker introducing a highly requested segment: a demonstration of one million volts of high-voltage electricity by Mr. Keith Hargett from the Moody Institute of Science. Hargett, who delivered "Sermons from Science" in the 1950s, explains that these demonstrations aim to inspire faith in God. He proceeds to stand barefoot atop a large transformer, emphasizing the necessity of direct contact to avoid severe burns from the high-frequency electricity. To further demonstrate the immense power, Hargett holds a fluorescent tube above his head, allowing the energy to pass through his body and ignite the tube, leaving no doubt for any skeptics. The segment concludes with Baker thanking the Moody Institute of Science for their "electrifying" and convincing demonstration.

Dating to the 1940s (possibly 1943 when she performed in MGM's "Thousands Cheer"), "Presenting Lena Horne with Jimmy Lunceford's Band" shows Horne singing Honeysuckle Rose. At 2:26, Horne addresses the camera: "So well fellas I hope the hundreds of guys that requested Honeysuckle Rose, were listening in. Whether I'm making with my sort of breathless style or whether you're giving it your own Crosby touch -- well I've done it my way. So come on now how's the about busting out like you got enough point, and about a million bucks in your hometown bank. All set? Well let's go!" There follows a "bouncing ball" with lyrics, for sing-along purposes.  At 4:56, Horne takes a break and fans herself. "Well fellas, " she excalims, "now that your temperatures are a little higher how about us doing some singing while our ears are still ringing huh? I'm going to start off with a little diddy about a certain character from Kalamazoo. Now don't you let me down when it's time for you! Come on Jimmy!"  Horne then launches into "I've Got A Guy In Kalamazoo", a song made famous by the Andrews Sisters. At 6:46, the bouncing ball returns with the song lyrics. 

Lena Horne performed with Jimmie Lunceford's band at the Cotton Club starting in 1934. Originally, Horne started at the Cotton Club as a chorus girl at age 16 and sang "Sweeter than Sweet" with Cab Calloway. Lunceford's band took over at the club after Calloway's orchestra left in 1934. 

Lena Mary Calhoun Horne (June 30, 1917 – May 9, 2010) was an American singer, actress, dancer and civil rights activist. Horne's career spanned more than seventy years and covered film, television and theatre. Horne joined the chorus of the Cotton Club at the age of sixteen a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ab2a9eda-f464-48db-af3e-28d7fdac62a9/e868d954-a4fc-4af3-a1cb-1c962cf8b950-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/n8UJVUbT13veiUJYmieHjZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>509</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T22:10:52.862Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7C592deEZUfaKTkELT9zJ3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0da00c7c-d0f7-4f03-9307-eacc49564068.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s/70s TV COMMERCIALS  GRECIAN FORMULA  CONTAC  COMET CLEANSER   CALGONITE  LUCITE PAINT  XD26245</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Produced in 1955 by British Transport Films, this documentary directed by Kenneth Fairbairn is a firsthand account of a British Railways team sent to free a train stuck that became stuck in a snowdrift on the South Durham and Lancashire Union Railway at Bleath Gill in the Pennies (also known as the Pennine Chain or Pennine Hills). The circumstances behind the film were these: steam locomotive No. 78018 BR Standard Class 2 2-6-0 was hauling eight 20-ton wagons of limestone and minerals when at 5am she became stuck at Bleath Gill just north of the Barras railway station near Stainmore Summit. At 1,370 feet, this was (at the time) the highest point on any railway line in England. The rescue operations first involved digging the engine out of the snowdrift during the night. In the morning, wedge plows were used to clear the railroad. Since the engine’s boiler had melted the snow and then cooled it to ice, the crew then had to cover moving parts with paraffin-soaked rags setting fire to them thawing the ice and freeing their motion. The engine was then successfully able to be moved onward with the help of other rescue engines, and thereafter the wagons also.  Note: The film crew was summoned to make the film on short notice and were not prepared, not even having brought anything to eat and had to rely on the generosity of the workmen.

Here is a reel of silent news footage shot by Jack Hemstock / Solar, Inc. who was apparently a stringer for local TV stations in Illinois and Indiana. This footage consists of various protests in and around Gary, Indiana including:00:00  May, 1963 anti-sales tax increase protest march. This was apparently triggered by the fact that in 1963, Indiana introduced a state sales tax. At the time, Gary did not have its own local sales tax. The initial sales tax rate was 2%, which became effective on July 1, 1963.  The picketers include Blacks and whites. At :59, the Gary Superior Courthouse / Lake Superior Courthouse is shown, followed by shots of protestors delivering petitions to government workers and the clerk of the Lake Superior Court. 3:00 shows a group of women and their children picketing in East Gary (date unknown), near what appears to be a construction site for a highway. Signs say "Help for Our Help / Fire Dept. / School". Bulldozers are shown moving earth, while another sign reads "2000 cars travel this road daily" (5:10). At (5:31) the women pose around a woman carrying a sign that reads "Save Our State Street".  6:40, views of the St. Mary's Mercy Hospital at the corner of 6th Ave and Tyler Street, and then scenes of the July 1963 protest put on by the NAAWP, or National Association of American White People. Leaflets are handed to Black and white nurses and hospital staff, and at 7:43 protestors walk with signs that read "NAAWP The American Way". At 8:02 a press photographer snaps the group with a Speed Graphic camera. At 8:16 a protestor's sign says "Equal rights for Whites." At 8:21, a Black girl watches the protest with some amusement. The backstory on this is interesting: the NAAWP was picketing the hospital, apparently as a counter pro...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d380894c-f6c4-46e7-9eac-8cfca6ce3861/f3e8e1c7-63e3-4305-a204-809db5b5ab50-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/s7NcigTqW1Cnpk2V5o9XTX</video:player_loc><video:duration>1073</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T22:27:44.925Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/r1RWs32JTKQsspzKQydv64</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9a683d46-c884-4b42-9ab2-b322c8be9430.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MAJOR KIT MURRAY PILOTS X-1A TO RECORD ALTITUDE   JUNE 4, 1954  (SILENT FILM)  GG10281</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This short film shows the Bell X-1A rocket plane on the ground at Edwards Air Force Base. The date this was shot was 4 June 1954. Major Arthur W. “Kit” Murray flew the experimental Bell X-1A research rocketplane to an altitude of 89,810 feet (27,374 meters). He flew high enough that the sky darkened and he was able to see the curvature of the Earth. Newspapers called him “America’s first space pilot.”

The X-1A reached Mach 1.97. Encountering the same inertial coupling instability as had Chuck Yeager, 20 November 1953, though at a lower speed, the X-1A tumbled out of control. The rocket plane lost over 20,000 feet (6,100 meters) altitude before Murray could regain control. For this accomplishment, Major Murray was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Coca Cola presents "Why Doesn't Somebody Sell Me", a 1952 film made by Jam Handy. Jam Handy Films was established in the early 1920's by famed Olympic swimmer Jamison Handy, and specialized in industrial films, film strips and other audio visual aids. This feature was produced as a training tool for Coca Cola sales distributors. Viewers understand tools of product placement and sales marketing techniques. Through a series of various sales scenarios, representatives learn methods to build a targeted 'personal profit story' designed to encourage store owners to line their shelves with Coca Cola. The film is directed by Richard A Walsh. 

"The answer to our problem is more selling;" the sales director states as the film begins (:47). This sales lesson features Mort Marshall (:53) as Mr. Coogan; a busy and egotistical shop keeper distributors must appease. Mr. Skelly receives a parcel containing the plastic doll form of Mr. Coogan (1:15). Coca Cola sales slogans ring out; advertisements from the past. The old fashioned glass bottle of Coke is pictured (3:26). Coogan puts on a show for viewers, wild eyed and bow tied and peering behind thick curtains (4:14). Curtains unfurl revealing a sign for Coogan’s Grocery (5:58). He explains shelf placement (6:30). Coke bottles stack up (6:49).  A wandering housewife spills in looking for scrambled eggs (7:04) and out after Coogan tells her there’s no eggs. Smoke billows; the register appears (9:04) jingling with increased profit (9:23). Coogan delights over profit (9:38). A Coca Cola distributor arrives (9:43) offering more cases. Coogan explains markups, record keeping (12:47), product inventory (13:15), return on investment (13:22), gross profit per square ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5a42bd42-c848-4b7e-9b39-f5a5dbe86ca1/3d3f4186-f91e-4385-addd-4de8c21f6889-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/c9soEuURxzzPdpRckxGEFB</video:player_loc><video:duration>1654</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T22:33:58.139Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eoCA1ExtHTWKeHMp7xL17X</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a9ee6149-8adf-4caf-a0d1-6ce629c0247f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" TUNISIAN VICTORY " 1944 WWII NORTH AFRICA CAMPAIGN VS.

B.F. Skinner hosts this film, "Teaching Machines and Programmed Learning", funded under contract of the National Defense Education Act of 1958 (:07). In the film, Skinner relays various innovations in the organization of learning due to the implementation of various "teaching machines" including tape recorders in public and military classrooms. Students retain lesson through repetition; using repeated concepts in various settings. Studies proved teaching machines made for effective and fun approaches, positive impacts on behavior change, and increased scores for students at various levels. Skinner ponders over changes in the role of educators and whether this technology would push education in the direction of a more individualized learning curriculum. Prominent psychologists, Dr. Arthur A Lumsdaine, Robert Glaser, the 1961 Califone, and TM MIN/MAX Grolier are featured. A blueprint for the IBM 650 digital computer is included; the 650 was the first mass produced computer released in the mid-1950s. Skinner would be considered one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century responsible for Skinner's Theory of Learning (stimulus, response, reinforcement). He believed free will was an illusion; formulating theories of radical behaviorism. He was at the time; Professor of Education at the University of California (:20) Dr. Robert Glaser (:25) made major contributions in the theory of adaptive learning.

One of filmmaker Carl Dudley’s fine films "On the Track" is a portrait of America's railroads in this 1948 film. Shot during the transitional period when diesel locomotives supplanted steam power, film is basically a salute to America, its railroads, and the multitude of trains that criss-cross the nation. Much like Dudley's "Life Line of the Nation", adoration for American railroads abounds with scene after scene of various trains rolling down the tracks. The railroads are depicted as the “symbol of American progress and prosperity for a great and powerful nation.” The railroads “bind the country into one strong, rich and unshatterable unit.” Railroads “move anything, anywhere, and anytime at low cost.” They are “Uncle Sam’s arteries” and “there is nothing in existence or in sight that can replace the railroad.”  Features rare color views of Penn Station, railroad yards and terminals, and passenger trains including the famed California Zephyr. The film was made for the Association of  American Railroads.The film opens with a speeding train racing down the tracks --  the famed California Zephyr, a Santa Fe Railroad passenger train. It then offers glimpses of iconic American locales (0:08) including the Statue of Liberty (:51), Mt. Rushmore (1:03), Capitol Building, Niagara Falls, New York City (1:26) and tenements, bustling factories and farms.  Followed by views of a contemporary mass production or assembly line (2:07) and a train shown at the Chicago Railroad Fair that was simply referred to as "the locomotive" (2:17). The scenes then showcase the natural beauty of the American landscape, including the Plains (2:40) and Yosemite Falls (2:45). It then shows men traveling by horseback and wagon trains (3:00). Amber grains of wheat are shown as well as red...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f1e4ac47-165d-4ef7-957c-6d95aff40c5a/d2fbeab2-be82-4b7e-ab04-bf4fc6cdd4ee-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vSsHraB4hHRei2f4ZW8PYW</video:player_loc><video:duration>1020</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T22:51:42.131Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cLRrigUfyoVVgkExp95kEw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ec54baac-2fc8-4392-939e-17586e278805.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ THE STRANGE CASE OF THE COSMIC RAYS ” 1957 BELL SCIENCE SERIES  STUDY OF MATTER &amp; UNIVERSE MD10375</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Between 1956 and 1964, Bell Science Series created nine television specials for AT&amp;T. These features combined entertaining story lines with animation, scientific explanation and technical information in order to deliver a better understanding of science. This is the second portion of the two-part series titled “The Strange Case of Cosmic Rays”. It continues with a storyline using marionettes representing Fyodor Dostoevsky, Edgar Allen Poe and Charles Dickens hosting a contest about the great mystery of matter and the universe. The marionettes are presented; by the writer and Dr. Research the mystery of cosmic rays and how they are formed. It digs deep into the nature of particles interacting with Earth’s magnetic field. It includes a discussion on “fagins” and how these were proved to carry positive charges similar to protons. It also explains various concepts related to nuclear force and includes theories posed by Hideki Yukawa and the subsequent discovery of pi meson. Various scientific tools are used; lightweight plates and specialized balloons, in order to study the particles’ movements at various levels in the atmosphere. Viewers are left with the understanding these cosmic particles originate from stars within our galaxy. As science sought to understand cosmic rays, they revealed new fundamental particles and reshaped the field of particle physics. The final segment reminds viewers of the connectedness all life has to the universe and does in fact turn a bit biblical.

Dating to 1960, "The Chosen People" was a special presentation of NBC's "Catholic Hour" TV show, and one of four programs in a series entitled "Prejudice, USA."  This particular episode of the four-part series focuses on anti-semitism. It was the work of playwright Robert J. Crean, directed by Martin Hoade, and starring Carolyn Groves, Barbara Joyce, Jon Voight, and others. The episode is a dramatized exploration of prejudice and discrimination, focusing on a small American town. It begins with a mundane conversation about a dance committee meeting, but quickly delves into deeper issues when Al, a Jewish teenager, expresses concerns about being excluded from the community club. This leads to a broader discussion about anti-Semitism, both historical and contemporary, and its impact on individuals and communities. The program "Prejudice USA" is introduced, highlighting the hidden nature of discrimination and its harmful effects. Various scenes depict subtle and overt acts of prejudice, including exclusion from social activities and public places. Ellen's family grapples with these issues, reflecting on the illogical nature of prejudice and the importance of love, respect, and common sense in combating it. The narrative emphasizes the moral responsibility to address and challenge discriminatory practices, concluding with a hopeful message about opening doors to all neighbors.

Made in 1952 by the Shell Oil Co. and directed by Sarah Erulkar, this film "History of the Helicopter" features a look at the revolutionary machine that had only recently come into wide use.  The film features a brief look at the history of flight such as (01:30) Leonardo DaVinci’s whirling wings and aerial screw, (01:58) ancient Chinese bamboo flying toys, (02:09) Sir George Cayley’s 19th Century aerial carriage, (02:20) Launoy and Bienvenu’s 1783 model of counter-rotating rotors and attempts to build a helicopter, (03:13) the steam engine attempts of Ponton d’Amecourt and Forlanini and, at (03:24), the Wright Brothers fixed wing and gas engine accomplishments. (03:56) A brief history of early 20th Century vertical lift attempts including Breguet’s successful 1907 experiment. (07:06) Helicopter model demonstrating the stability of the vertical winged aircraft and the importance of a tail rotor to counteract the rotation of the top blade which, without the tail rotor, would make the craft rotate in the opposite direction. (07:50) the model demonstrates how, when craft is moving forward, one blade moves with the air flow and the other against it producing unequal lift and instability. (08:15) Helicopter blades hinged so they flap to counter act the instability, a solution credited to Juan de la Cierva. (08:44) A Cierva C-19, an autogiro, takes off. (08:57) Series of autogiros taking off and flying. (09:40) Nicholas Florine’s flapping blade helicopter takes off at the 1930 Brussels Exposition and Corradino D’Ascanio sets a record with a flight of over 8 minutes, 1000 yards at 59 feet.

"Emergency Investigation of Coal Waste Embankments" was produced following an investigation set in place after a major disaster; the Buffalo Creek Flood Disaster. The film showcases how various coal and mining companies remove and handle their coal waste. Buffalo Creek flood disaster was later known as an "act of man" rather than an act of God or a natural disaster. Loss of life and injury to people and property was due to the failure of three coal slurry dams. The disaster led to the formation of a task force to study coal waste hazards in 1972 by the Department of the Interior. Coal was the primary source of US energy in the 1970's; natural gas was sparse and oil was expensive. However; this was a period of transition as even as early as the 1940's steam engine trains were being replaced with diesel. Smoke stacks billow from a coal mining plant (:21). Industrial developments and energy use based upon population requirements in the early 1970's are relayed; 500 million tons of coal were used in 1971. Molten slag spills out (:31). Refuses and wastes are always produced. Mounds of coal waste are comprised of shattered mine rocks (:54), low grade coal (:56) and sludge. An aerial tram dumps coal waste in a designated isolated area (1:20). Waste material is graded by a bulldozer (1:29). Common types of deposits are explored; side hill dumps (1:42), cross valley fills (1:46), sludge ponds and waste heaps (1:52).

Dating to 1937, "The Dionne Quintuplets in A Day at Home" presents a day in the life of the world-famous Dionne Quintuplets, who at the time had just turned three years old. This silent version of the film was released as a 16mm home movie by the Pathé Film Corporation. The Dionne quintuplets were born May 28, 1934, and were the first quintuplets known to have survived their infancy. The identical girls were born just outside Callander, Ontario, near the village of Corbeil. All five survived to adulthood although they were born premature. Later genetic testing showed that the girls were identical, meaning they were created from a single egg cell.  After four months with their family, custody was signed over to the Red Cross, which paid for their care and oversaw the building of a hospital for the sisters. Less than a year after this agreement was signed, the Ontario government stepped in and passed the Dionne Quintuplets' Guardianship Act, 1935, which made them wards of the Crown until the age of 18.The Ontario provincial government and those around them began to profit by making them a significant tourist attraction. The identical quintuplet girls were, in order of birth: Yvonne Édouilda Marie Dionne, Annette Lillianne Marie Allard, Cécile Marie Émilda Langlois, Émilie Marie Jeanne Dionne and Marie Reine Alma Houle. 

Oliva Dionne was approached by fair exhibitors for Chicago's Century of Progress exhibition within days of the girls' birth, seeking to put the quintuplets on display and show them to the world. At the time it was not unusual for so-called "incubator babies" to be displayed at fairs and other exhibitions. On approximately July 27, 1934, the first guardianship bill was signed.

This UK produced film from Smiths Aviation "The Last Hundred Feet" (1963) describes the  technology behind a fully automatic landing system known as Smith's SEP5 flight control system. It provides details on the development and implementation of SEP5, which is based on research begun in 1948. The film highlights the manufacturing precautions taken to ensure the reliability of the system, especially for civil operations requiring higher safety standards. The SEP5 system uses a multiplex principle, with duplex and triplex configurations for enhanced safety. A Vickers Varsity test aircraft is shown, but the new De Havilland Trident aircraft (introduced 1964) will also be equipped with this system, initially as a duplex and later as a triplex for regular blind landings. The film also covers the flight director and autopilot control facilities, navigation procedures, and the final approach and landing sequence, emphasizing the comprehensive safety provisions included in the SEP5 system.

McDonnell Aircraft Corporation presents a post-WWII promotional film for the XF-85 Goblin parasite fighter. The XF-85 was a prototype fighter aircraft conceived during World War II that was intended to deploy from the bomb bay of the B-36 or XB-35 bomber. It's role was to defend bombers from hostile interceptor aircraft. McDonnell built two prototypes before the USAF terminated the program in 1949. Flight tests showed promise in the design, but the aircraft's performance was inferior to the jet fighters it would have faced in combat, and there were difficulties in docking. McDonnell test pilot Edwin Foresman Schoch discovered the aircraft was extremely sensitive to the bomber's turbulence, as well as being affected by the air cushion created by the two aircraft operating in close proximity. At the start of the test program, Schoch miscalculated his approach and struck the bomber's trapeze so violently that the canopy was smashed and ripped free and his helmet and mask were torn off. He saved the prototype by making a belly landing on the reinforced skid at the dry lake bed at Muroc. Although the Goblin program was terminated, the concept of parasite aircraft continued under three related projects following the cancellation: MX-106 "Tip Tow", FICON, and "Tom-Tom."

This feature was created in collaboration with the Air Material Command for the USAF (:25). The craft was powered with a single Westinghouse J-34 turbojet engine (:33). In WWII, B-17s fly through the air in formation (:37). Bombs drop (:51); the payload explodes (:53). WWII presented new technical problems for the USAAF, forcing rapid growth (:43). Advanced enemy fighter aircraft were a serious threat, requiring bombers to have heavie...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/64e0aafe-43ed-475d-afd3-343c70d67307/9442a26a-2c0d-407e-b095-abc439b7a113-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dsuECat8duCzD5KeAUEmoc</video:player_loc><video:duration>516</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-30T23:25:13.034Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oEmuPWtDZkHpXNwE9yxsqm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f5f1ad76-ad6f-47f1-89ff-f8305b0ebfa7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE INTERVENTION "  1980s JOHNSON INSTITUTE / JOHNSON MODEL OF INTERVENTION FILM CC10155</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Produced and directed by Averill M. Kronick, "The Intervention" was produced on behalf of the Johnson Institute, which was founded by Dr. Vernon Johnson who developed the Johnson Model of intervention. An intervention is an orchestrated attempt by one or many people – usually family and friends – to get someone to seek professional help with a substance use disorder. The Johnson Model focuses on creating a confrontation between a group of supporters and the addict in order to expose the addict to the consequences of their addiction. The confrontation serves to precipitate a crisis in the addict's life that is not threatening, damaging, or fatal, and is used to compel them into treatment before they are able to suffer irreparable social or physical damage as a result of their disease. This film follows the journey of Jan, who is increasingly retreating into alcohol, and her family's efforts to intervene before she hits rock bottom. The film stars Kathy Thornton as Jan, James Noah as her husband Howard, and Don Amendolia as the counselor. 

•  0:28: Jan retreats into alcohol, and her spouse Howard realizes the need to bring her back to reality and get her to agree to treatment.

•  1:11: Discussion between Howard and a friend about involving the children in the intervention, despite their reluctance.

•  2:01: Howard questions if they are overreacting, but acknowledges Jan's drinking problem.

•  2:23: The husband talks to their teen son, Brian, about the need for intervention.

•  3:01: Brian is reluctant but agrees to help with the intervention.

•  4:03: Howard discusses the intervention plan with his daughter, who agrees to help.

This silent reel of gun camera footage shows F-4 Phantom II aircraft engaging North Vietnamese Migs fighters. These are probably from the F-4 flown by Capt. Steve Ritchie, who became an ace as a result of his five kills (see below). The film  also includes footage of Capt. Steve Ritchie and Capt. Jeffrey S. Feinstein painting red "kill" stars on the hulls of their plane and standing in front of the 432nd Tactical Fighter Wing signboard. 

Brigadier General Richard Stephen Ritchie (born June 25, 1942) served as an officer in the United States Air Force and the Colorado Air National Guard, and a general officer in the Air Force Reserve. Ritchie joined Navy Commander Randy Cunningham as the only two pilots (along with three airborne weapon systems officers) among the five American aces during the Vietnam War. Ritchie is a recipient of the Air Force Cross, the second highest military decoration that can be awarded to a member of the United States Air Force. A young Lt Ritchie completed Undergraduate Pilot Training, was awarded his pilot wings at Laredo AFB, Texas, in August 1965. This was followed by service as an F-104 Starfighter pilot in Flight Test Operations with Air Force Systems Command at Eglin AFB, Florida, until 1967. After completing F-4 Phantom II Combat Crew Training, Capt Ritchie deployed to Southeast Asia, where he flew 195 combat missions with the 480th Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 366th Tactical Fighter Wing at Da Nang AB, South Vietnam, between 1968 and 1969.

Dating to 1963, "Behind the Skyscrapers" was directed by Frederick Niemann, with a score by Win Strake and Frank Hamilton, and produced by the National Women's Christian Temperance Union of Evanston, Illinois. This remarkable documentary is about life on “Skid Row”, a section of Chicago, where down and out people live in doorways and in condemned housing. Factual, unrehearsed scenes show us their lives. The traditional Skid Row areas in Chicago were located on West Madison Street and North Clark Street, but both have been gentrified since the 1980s. Skid Row was a 12-block stretch of flophouses and bars that was a popular winter destination for hobos, bums, and tramps. Chicagoans were both attracted to and repelled by Skid Row, and some even enjoyed an evening of "slumming" at its honky-tonks. 

00:00 - 1:07:  Chicago Rapid Transit train arrives at an elevated station. The song "Oh What a Beautiful City" is sung, mentioning the 12 gates to the city. :40 distant skyline of Chicago, followed by images of the downtown, etc. 

1:11 - 1:26: The song continues with the mention of gates in the East, West, North, and South.

1:45 - 2:05: Descriptions of people and vehicles heading to the city.

2:11 - 2:33: A man drives a Mercedes convertible in traffic. The song "Sunday is a Happy Day" begins, describing Sunday activities like riding in the summer breeze.

2:46 - 3:10: The song continues with mentions of fishing on a sunny shore with family.

3:22 - 3:47: Images of the Chicago waterfront and skyline. The song describes cruising on a lake on Sunday. At 4:09, an ocean liner marked Transamerica / Poseidon is visible at the docks. At 4:19 the Wrigley Building in the Loop as well as other beautiful buildings.

"Human Aggression" was published in 1976 by Harper &amp; Row to accompany a book of the same name. The film follows the Young Skulls, as they tramp through swampy city streets and local grocery stores, harassing pedestrians, throwing parties and conducting a ritualistic beating. The nature and use of aggression is uncovered through their behavior. The film delivers studies on aggression in nature; it's necessity and how various species use it. It also includes studies such as the frustration- aggression theory put forward by Dollard in 1939. Pseudo speciation; the use of factitious labels and boundaries put forth from one group to another group within the same species; it's use and effect in gang life as well as on in society as a whole is featured. It was written and produced by Dr. Stanley Milgram (:21); a prominent social psychologist best known for his controversial 1960’s electric shock experiments.

This amateur-shot home movie features unique and rare footage of electric freight operations in the American Midwest and Pacific NW. It was probably filmed in the 1960s. It starts with a shot of a Kansas City, Kaw Valley &amp; Western RR electric locomotive / box motor. At 4:00, a diesel switch engine or freight engine is shown. At 7:10, a Hutchinson &amp; Northern Railroad (H&amp;M Railroad) electric locomotive is seen; this locomotive is now visible at the Hutchinson Salt Museum.

Made in 1927 by an unknown producer named "Clement" and featuring unknown actors, this untitled silent short film dramatizes the kidnapping of evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, founder of the Foursquare Church. McPherson's alleged kidnapping in 1926 was a sensational news story and was also the subject of a film produced by Aimee herself. Whether Aimee was kidnapped, staged her own disappearance, or simply ran away to have an affair is still unknown. When she did return to Los Angeles, her disappearance became the center of a highly publicized trial and the subject of a media frenzy. When the dust settled, Aimee continued her work.

The facts of the kidnapping are these: on May 18, 1926, McPherson disappeared from Ocean Park Beach in Santa Monica, California and was presumed to have drowned and her body washed out to sea. According to McPherson's later account, she was approached by a couple who wanted her to pray over their sick child. After walking with them to their car, she was shoved inside. A cloth laced with chloroform was held against her face, causing her to pass out. Eventually, she was moved to a shack in the Mexican desert. When her captors were away, McPherson escaped out a window and traveled through the desert for 11–17 hours and an estimated 17–20 miles before reaching Agua Prieta, Sonora, a Mexican border town. Collapsing near a house, the evangelist was taken by locals to adjacent Douglas where she was hospitalized.  McPherson, on her return to Los Angeles, was greeted by 30,000–50,000 people.

"March of Time" presents a feature on Omaha, Nebraska -- a "rail metropolis on the plains". The March of Time TV show was a short-lived series sponsored by Time Inc. that was based on the newsreel series of the same name which played for the American public in theaters from 1935 to 1951. The TV series covered a wide array of topics including Hitler's rise to power and FDR's reelection campaign. It was produced by Louis and Richard de Rochemont and narrated by Westbrook van Voorhis. 

This episode displays the history of the railroad lines converging in Omaha, Nebraska and a state shaped by the railroad industry. The Union Pacific Line began in Omaha following the Railroad Act of 1862. Tracks ran west to connect with the Central Pacific Line. Viewers witness vintage rail cars of the Omaha line, tour the Omaha Union Stock Yard and Union Pacific repair shops. The series logo (:28) and Westbrook Van Voorhis (:37) open the episode. Westbrook's narration would be later known as the "voice of doom" and his catch phrase; "Time marches on" would remain in American ears for decades after. A rail car from the Omaha rail line appears (:55). History of the rail line began with the Tom Thumb locomotive. Passengers bounce within the interior of the passenger car (1:04).  Steam trains were replaced with diesel and electric beginning in 1917 (1:18).

This educational film titled “reaching for the Stars” features the construction of Lick Observatory's 120 inch telescope by Judson Pacific-Murphy Corporation. Lick Observatory is the University of California’s astronomical observatory resting on the summit of Mount Hamilton in the Diablo range east of San Jose. The observatory is named after James Lick; a philanthropic carpenter and piano maker. It is the first permanently occupied mountain top observatory constructed in classic revival style. The observatory was attributed with first sighting the fifth moon of Jupiter in 1892 and in 1905; the 6th and 7th moons. In 1936, University of California astronomers decided to craft this 120 inch reflector telescope for the observatory. Construction was contracted to Judson Pacific-Murphy Corporation of Emeryville California and its associated subcontractors. (Judson was an offshoot of the Pacific Rolling Mill Company, which was the West’s first iron and steel producing foundry, founded in 1866. ) Telescopes at Lick Observatory are currently used by researchers from many campuses of the University of California system. Current topics of research carried out at Lick include exoplanets, supernovae, active galactic nuclei, planetary science, and development of new adaptive optics technologies.

Opening footage show construction and transportation of the crane from the Emeryville Plant to the Observatory. It continues to show the erection and installation of the new telescope. Dark footage opens from within and around the observatory (:14). Mount Hamilton (1:30) peers over Santa Clara valley. History of the observatory begins on July 23, 1880.

The American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) presents "Steel in Space, Building the Space Needle". This film shows construction of the Space Needle for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair aka the Century 21 Exposition. The film shows the complicated process of fabrication, which took roughly 400 days.

The AISC seal (:12), building frames, dirt and a Y-shaped excavation (:34) open the film. This would inevitably become the framework for the space needle in a year (:40). The project was contracted to the steel division of PACCAR. Aerial shots of the manufacturing plant follow (:36). Within the plant, sparks shoot out from 30 ft. steel anchor bolts (:45). Bottom plates are carted over the planted floor (:59). Preparations are conducted prior to pouring concrete into the frames (1:21). Concrete moves down the chutes (1:34). PACCAR construction workers (1:59) fabricate store sections. Precision shop work follows (2:06). Sections are welded together in the field (2:19). One of the architects is noted for designing steel structures for rocket launching pads at Cape Canaveral. Seattle contractor; Howard S. Wright (2:37) was general contractor. Workers slip through steel frames with acrobatic ease (2:41). Welders work on opposing sides during core section welding (3:00). PACCAR designed a specific dairy crane to lift the red tower (3:15). The camera view runs up the core of the space needle (3:25). A thrust ring (3:33) provides stability for the mast.  A 100 ton crawler crane lifts the steel (3:45). The mast is set (4:08) and the boon is raised. The outer section (4:12) is raised. Construction workers test the rotation of the derrick (4:54). Communication among the workers is operated through a throat...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bf305548-310a-4f68-a2c6-9d4b0615ff6d/31afbec4-fa6b-4ecf-9977-f9ab417308ec-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pBj2NiTTNceJ6gJEzeV95M</video:player_loc><video:duration>1561</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T01:09:41.810Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cNLNU83SywdiSdojfxa1Qg</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9d43c800-9a4f-419e-81de-bdfcd0543be7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE SAN ANDREAS FAULT " 1974 EDUCATIONAL FILM   CALIFORNIA SEISMIC FAULT EARTHQUAKES  SM10525</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Edited and released by Eugene Castle and Castle Films and distributed by Bell &amp; Howell, "The Royal Visit to Canada and the United States" is an epic silent documentary movie that presents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth's trip to North America in 1939. This tour was undertaken in the build-up of world political tensions to WWII (1939-1945), as a way to shore up sympathy for the United Kingdom among her dominions and allies, should war break out in Europe. The tour lasted a month, from 17 May to 15 June, covering every province in Canada, along with the then-separate Dominion of Newfoundland, and a few days south (7–12 June) in the United States. It demonstrated and cemented Canada's allegiance to the Crown and its status as the senior Dominion of the then British Empire (future Commonwealth of Nations). There had been previous royal family tours in Canada, but, the 1939 tour was unprecedented due to the fact that it was the first visit to North America by the reigning monarch. The tour was an enormous event, attracting huge crowds.

Highlights include:

00:31: The Royal Family is seen at Buckingham Palace prior to the trip. 
01:18: The Royal Tour begins as the family rides across London in their carriage, riding past Big Ben and Parliament building

This film documents the journey of Tom, a truck driver for Norwalk Truck Lines Inc., on a transport job from Chicago, Illinois to Sandusky, Ohio. Through following his journey, the film highlights the importance of the trucking industry in America and the benefits, and potential challenges, of working as a truck driver. Tom is depicted as a model employee and truck driver who even stops to assist a broken-down car on the side of the road and, in doing so, properly demonstrates how to use the roadside emergency equipment in his truck. The film was produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica Films in collaboration with Paul R. Hanna from Stanford University and Hal Kopel with James McGinn as the Assistant Producer.

This rare, silent footage shows important early propulsion units and mobility inventions developed by U.S. Navy Underwater Demolition Teams or UDTs, now known as the U.S. Navy SEALs. The film likely dates to about 1952, although it could be slightly later. It begins with footage of UDTs operating an Aerojet underwater vehicle commonly known as a Swimmer Propulsion Unit or SPU (:14). At (:20) UDTs are seen on the exterior of the the WWII submarine USS Quillback (SS-424) as it surfaces. Quillback was a Tench-class boat used extensively by the UDTs for training, and was the first to conduct swimmer retrieval through a torpedo tube. At :30, rare footage of the Swimmer Propulsion Unit Mark II is shown. These SPUs featured propellers (the unit shown at 2:00 clearly has twin counter-rotating props) and had diving planes for airplane like maneuvers underwater. The Mark II was essentially a one-man sub was fitted with a CO2 propulsion system, in addition to the pedal-drive system. A steady-state speed of three knots for three miles could be achieved with the pedal-drive system. Using C02, the SPU was capable of four knots for 15 minutes. At 1:23, the Mark V Swimmer Propulsion Unit is shown. This was sort of like an underwater bicycle, with a pole and saddle connected to counter-rotating propellers driven by bicycle pedals and gears. A fixed speed and efficiency for the vehicle of four times that obtainable with swim fins was claimed. At 2:04, a Mark II and Mark V are shown operating in close proximity.

Presented by the Anti-Defamation League of B'Nai Brith, “World’s Apart” (1971) is a stark and gripping film on the grim realities of poverty in Black inner city neighborhoods and the subsequent negative effect on children’s education. The film presents a look at 1970s America where they exists a stark contrast between education for the middle class versus the poor. The film tours the ghettos of New York where listless youth pick at rubble in bombed out neighborhoods, surrounded by liquor store advertisements. The effort to address issues of poverty and inequality is described. Education is stressed as the most viable way to rid the world of poverty. Notable figures include Dr. Elliot Shapiro and Dr. Martin Deutsch contribute. Dr. Martin Deutsch focuses on the development of a program to address the needs of preschoolers, and shows the effect inadequate education in early years has on older students. The film also presents the value of self-esteem, language efficiency and individual study attention in class.  B'Nai Brith is an international non-government organization founded in order to combat anti-semitism, bigotry and racism. 

Film opens with lazy grey scenes of Cozy Bars (:20), beauty shops and small restaurants (:23). A man wanders outside the Savory Agency Inc. (:25).

This 1943 film, believed to be entitled "Control Elements of Stability" offers a visual explanation of how weight is distributed in a ship and the different elements that governs its stability such as: the righting arm, the center of gravity and the center of buoyancy. The film demonstrates, through diagrams of ships and demonstrations with a model ship, how shifting weight distributions can increase or decrease stability in the ship. In the film, diagrams that are used to determine the stability like the statical stability curve, are explained through visual explanations which show how stability elements are calculated to create the curve. The film was produced by the Navy Department for the United States of America.

This late 1920s or (more likely) early 1930s silent film  was one of a series created by Eastman Kodak as part of a classroom educational series. It shows everyday life in several areas of Chile in South America. Not only are the largest Chilean cities shown, and their main attractions, but also the different occupations and ways of life in the rural areas. A large part of the film shows footage of the main focuses of the Chilean economy, such as agriculture, and on the main trade exports of the time like the Nitrate and Copper industries. It is not clear who took the footage, but this particular print has an end credit indicating that it was once property of the Board of Education of the City of New York!

Created by famed director James A. FitzPatrick, and photographed by Bert Dawley and choreographed by Madame Serova, "Georges Bizet" is one of the "Famous Music Master Series" of films. The film features Nathaniel Shilkret and the Victory Concert Orchestra.  The film starts with the Toreador Song aria by Bizet, before delving into a re-enacted biography of the famed composer, who lived in Paris in the 1830s. It also includes segments of the opera Carmen and scenes in Spain including the toreadors. 

Georges Bizet (1838 –75) was a French composer of the Romantic era. Best known for his operas in a career cut short by his early death, Bizet achieved few successes before his final work, Carmen, which has become one of the most popular and frequently performed works in the entire opera repertoire.

This untitled color film, likely from the late 1950s or early 1960s (probably 1959), offers a glimpse into the operations and environmental challenges encountered by the U.S. Signal Corps' Meteorological (Met) Team stationed at Camp Century in Greenland. The film features footage of various Meteorology instruments such as 1950s American radiosondes and a Pilot Balloon (Pibal) Theodolite in addition to various American military vehicles and aircraft like the Lockheed C-130 Hercules and Studebaker M29 Weasel. Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, Camp Century served as a U.S. Army testing ground for both scientific and strategic military technology within the harsh Arctic environment. Built in 1959 and operational throughout the 1960s, Camp Century was part of a larger initiative aimed at exploring the feasibility of hidden military installations under Greenland's ice sheet, with broader implications for Cold War defense and environmental research.

This silent footage shows the launch of a high altitude weather balloon and what appears to be a scientific payload (seen briefly at :29 and later at 5:06).  It's most likely that this payload was part of the Planetary Entry Parachute Program (PEPP) which were launched at Walker Air Force Base at Roswell, New Mexico in 1967. The balloon lifted the aeroshell to a height of over 39 kilometers and then the vehicle was released. Following seconds of free fall the solid fueled rockets (12 Falcon in one version or 8 Sword-1 motors in the other) ignited and accelerated the test vehicle upwards, simulating a Mars Atmosphere reentry trajectory. At burn out the aeroshell was released from the dummy payload, which then unfurled the parachutes and landed.

This launch was part of a series performed under contracts awarded to the G.T. Schjeldahl Company by the U.S. Air Force in the late 1950s. The goal was to develop polyester balloons capable of reaching the stratosphere. The company was the brainchild of Gilmore Tilmen Schjeldahl, who was a well known inventor in plastics, adhesives and circuitry. He was awarded 16 US patents and may be best known for inventing the plastic-lined airsickness bag. He and his company designed and built a series of balloon based experimental communications projects including the Echo I and Echo II metalized balloon satellites, the manned Project Stargazer mission, the Stratascope II  balloon-borne astronomical telescope, and PAGEOS -- a balloon satellite which was launched by NASA in June 1966.

This elaborate animated U.S. Navy / Bureau of Aeronautics film “Thunderstorms” (MN-119c-AH) was created by the Bureau of Aeronautics in 1943 looks at the formation of thunderstorms. Although the film has no credits, the animation is likely from the Walt Disney Studios, which created similar films during WWII. The film deals with the formation of thunderclouds, points out their identifying features, discusses alternatives a pilot may follow when storms are encountered, and dramatizes one pilot's experience with a thunderstorm. The film breaks storms into two general types; air mass; generally forming over warm waters and along mountain slopes, and frontal; considerably more violent and formed from cold air pushing into warm air. It explains basic characteristics of the storms showing variations in size, shape and density. Individual features are highlighted; towering structures, anvil shaped tops and the dark areas underneath the storm’s core.

Probably dating to 1949, this short home movie shows a family's visit to what appears to be the National Air Races air show. The film is significant because it shows a B-36 Bomber, also known as the Peacemaker, on the ground (1:12) and in the air (2:30). The aircraft shown has the insignia of the 7th Bomb Wing and the motto "Mors Ab Alto" which means "Death from Above" (1:26). The National Air Races flags are seen at (1:33). Some of the other imagery seen in the film includes a young woman wearing sunglasses (00:17), a parachutist gliding to earth (00:42), Meteor jet aircraft (1:09), and a massive flyover of aircraft (01:48) including B-29 bombers (2:14). 

An article from 1949 states: "Air Force B-36 bombers will be featured in the aerial armada
over Cleveland, Ohio, during the National Air Races there, Sept. 3-5, according to Eighth Air
Force headquarters at Carswell AF base, Ft. Worth. Three bombers of the Seventh Bomb Group,
commanded by Col. John Roberts, will fly over the city each day." 

The Convair B-36 "Peacemaker" is a strategic bomber built by Convair and operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) from 1949 to 1959. The B-36 is the largest mass-produced piston-engined aircraft ever built, although it was exceeded in span and weight by the one-off Hughes H-4 Hercules. It has the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft. The B-36 was capable of intercontinental flight without refueling.

Entering service in 1948, the B-36 was the primary nuclear weapons delivery vehicle of Strategic Air Command (SAC) until it was replaced by the jet-powered Boeing B-52 Stratofortress beginning in 1955. All but four aircraft have been scrapped.

Hosted by author and journalist Arnold Forster, "Dateline Israel" was a series of films produced by the Anti-Defamation League. (Forster also hosted a radio show and wrote a book with the same name.) This episode from 1974 is a lengthy interview with Golda Meir, the fourth prime minister of Israel from 1969 to 1974. Meir was Israel's first (and to date only) female head of government and the first in the Middle East. The interview highlights Meir's vision for Israel as a secure, culturally rich, and just society, contributing positively to the global community.

The interview covers various topics, including:

1. Israel's 25th Anniversary: Reflecting on the significance of Israel's establishment and its impact on Jews worldwide.
2. Jewish Identity: Discussing why Jews feel at home in Israel and the importance of a Jewish state for self-expression and cultural preservation.
3. Immigration: Addressing Israel's commitment to accepting Jewish immigrants from around the world, regardless of their origin.
4. Role in the World: Meir emphasizes that Israel's primary goal is to be a Jewish state rather than a model for other nations, though she hopes it can be a positive example.
5. Anti-Semitism: Despite the establishment of Israel, anti-Semitism persists globally, which is a disappointment for Meir.
6. Future Aspirations: Meir expresses hopes for peace, security, and cooperation in the region and a world without wars, envisioning a society with equality and opportunities for all.

Arnold Forster (1913-2010) was an attorney who fought against anti-Semitism and extremism and advocated for civil rights and the State of Israel in a career spanning nearly 60 years at ADL.

"Flight" was a short-lived television show from 1958. Thirty-eight episodes of Flight were produced and aired in 1958-59; all were hosted by George C. Kenney.  This episode is number twelve in the series, entitled "The Derelict". It was directed by Jean Yarbrough, written by Arthur Brown, Jr. and features a cast that includes Robert Christopher, Patrick Waltz, Christopher Dark, Ray Montgomery, Ed Perry, William Cassidy, Steve Ihnat. 

In this particular episode a B-47 bomber catches fire in mid-air over Alaska.  Its crew must make a desperate decision about whether to bail out of the stricken aircraft; one crewman is left behind. Can he regain consciousness and control over the stricken aircraft?  The episode is notable for a few reasons, one being that it shows a rare look into the interior of a B-47, for another because the situation shown in the episode is somewhat similar to the famous 1950 British Columbia B-36 crash. It seems likely that the B-36 incident inspired this show.

The Boeing B-47 Stratojet (Boeing company designation Model 450) is a retired American long-range, six-engined, turbojet-powered strategic bomber designed to fly at high subsonic speed and at high altitude to avoid enemy interceptor aircraft. The primary mission of the B-47 was as a nuclear bomber capable of striking targets within the Soviet Union.

“Americans at Work” was produced by Norwood Studios for the AFL-CIO. This is one of 99 films in the series intended to educate the American public on various union industrial jobs and duties. This episode "Tow Boat" workers celebrates the fabled profession, and discusses the romantic aspects of life on the water. It is littered with references to Mark Twain, the famed tow boat pilot who stole his pen-name from chatter of the leadsmen who would signal "Mark One, Mark Twain" when measuring depths. It is a silver dream of river jewelry, tattle talkers, timberheads and river heads. The film dives into the roles of crew members, engineers and pilots. It traces a day in the life as they load cargo into massive barges and navigate major locks through the Mississippi muddy waters and its tributaries.  Historically it relays the shift through the steamboat era and into diesel. Towboats cart loads of petroleum, steel and various chemicals.  (Note: The AFL-CIO is a major national trade union center operating since December of 1955 through a merger between the AFL; established in 1886 and the CIO; established in 1935.)

The film opens with images of the pusher towboat W.S. Rhea pushing a barge under the old St. Charles Bridge on Route 115 in Saint Charles Missouri and the deep bellow of the tow boat whistle (:08). The title screen appears superimposed over a tow boats man (:40). The view runs past a coal plant owned by the Peabody Coal mining company headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri established in 1883. Towboat Tom Sawyer of the Al Barges Line Inc pushes a load of coal ahead (1:12).  This was built in 1933 by Midland Barge Company at Midland, Pa.  A wide shot of the large tow boat and its load follows (1:24). Another tow carts a load from Pennsalt Chemicals Corp (...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/12915b00-f535-43bb-aa37-b9bd6b204cac/02da6385-0ae1-4319-bd6a-763c479fd5b8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3hZ5JPkWniURKwmAd73ryY</video:player_loc><video:duration>822</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T02:46:35.703Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cLwEjWDJ1GwG5Pd89CnSMT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/37e930fa-f1e9-4254-b57b-2460a7119dde.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" INDUSTRY ON PARADE " 1950s AMERICAN MANUFACTURING    EDISON'S BLACK MARIA  HOCKING GLASS  XD97945</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

“Americans at Work Stock Exchange” was produced by Norwood Studios for the AFL-CIO. It was one of 99 films produced between 1958-60 to educate the American public on various union industrial jobs and duties.  This episode explains the process of trading shares in companies through buyers and sellers, mediated by brokers. It was apparently shot at the American Stock Exchange in New York City around 1958. The stock exchange floor is shown to be a buzzing area of activity; hands signals and pneumatic tubes maintain communication between workers. Functions of the ticker tape and the quotation room are explained. The quotation room provides up to minute information on rising and falling stock prices. The film explains the necessity of accurate record keeping and data processing in the clearing room. It also dives into the roles of clerks and assistants who support the brokers. Historically, it shows the role of capital markets in the US economy; how money moves and how it is invested into companies through the purchase of shares rather than goods. 

Workers in white buzz over the stock exchange floor (:09). The closing market average from the preceding day are relayed (:16). Ground views on the floor follow (:32). Brokers throw hand signals across the floor (1:05). Money is traded for shares (1:26) in the securities exchange. This feature is presented by the AFL-CIO (1:30). Images appear of the John W. McCormack US Post Office in Boston, Massachusetts (1:49). Areas supported by the stock exchange include industrial yards (2:08) and automobile plants (2:24). A map of the northeast (2:59).

"Navigation Target Approach / Ground Recognition Run No. III" is a 1944 U.S. Army Air Forces training film that may have been used in conjunction with a simulator.  It was likely created to train bombardiers and/or navigators and pilots. The film shows a flight into and over a targeted location, and is intended to show ground features that can be used as aids to navigation while approaching designated targets. The flight appears to be a test run over parts of Florida including an air base we believe to be in Brevard County Florida. The film was made by the First Motion Picture Unit.

Aerial shots of an unknown city open the film (:37). The view runs over jagged flat country land cut with narrow rivers (1:33). Much of the footage is slow roaming over flat and mixed hilly, mountainous terrain and farm land. The airplane runs towards the harbor (3:24) and coastline. Light misty clouds cover the water (6:44). The air base in Brevard County, Florida (7:25) swings into view. The film concludes over the Pacific (10:36) and with the Official War Department seal (10:38).

This United Way film featuring Myron McCormick is believed to be titled "Page One Story" (main title is missing). It appears to date to the immediate post-WWII era. It was directed by Gene Milford and written by Basil Reyea and cinematography by William Miller. (Note: at the time this film was made, United Way was known either as Community Chests of America or Red Feather Services. "Red feather campaigns" took place with donors handed a red feather pin to wear as a symbol of their commitment to their community.)  "Page One Story" explores the various struggles and challenges faced by individuals and families within a small town. It highlights the importance of understanding the hidden troubles people face, from juvenile delinquency and family conflicts to health issues and loneliness. The narrative emphasizes how positive community initiatives, such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Red Feather Services, play a crucial role in addressing these problems.

This untitled color silent home movie from 1947 was shot by U.S. Army Col. Arthur Thayer. It provides a snapshot of Occupied Japan, blending traditional Japanese culture and natural landscapes with glimpses of American military presence. Japan was occupied and administered by the Allies of World War II from the surrender of the Empire of Japan on September 2, 1945 until 1952. The film opens with scenes of what is apparently the Will Rogers Estate in Beverly Hills / Los Angeles before shifting to Japan, with sequences of American soldiers, local Shinto festivals, and Hinoki cypress tree forests. Further highlights include farmers tilling soil with horse-drawn plows and views of iconic Mt. Fuji from multiple perspectives. (Note: Prior to moving to the more famous ranch in the Pacific Palisades, Rogers' family had a house in Beverly Hills. It may be that this is the home shown, as it's clearly not the one in Will Rogers Park.)

This film "Information Technology for the Disabled" (1988) shows pioneering innovations developed by companies such as IBM, Splink and Centronics in order to aid people with disabilities in office settings. It also offers viewers a brief understanding of what it is like for the disabled working in the office in the late 1970's, early 1980's. In short, "Information Technology for the Disabled" shows normal office procedures (1:16) conducted by a disabled person. It opens with a rotary phone (:10) in an office staffed by disabled persons (:36). The camera runs around the office showing vintage tech items including a PET-IEE (1:01). The Microwriter (1:29) enabled easy operation by single hand use or by those with limited hand movement. Microwriters were first demonstrated in 1978 dating the film to the late 1970's. It was a landmark development created in the UK. Close shots show the display screen (2:03). A Centronics printer follows (2:14). At an airport, the departures screen informs travelers of flights heading for the UK (2:29). A blind Senior Civil Servant travelling for work opens his suitcase to revealing a Versabraille system (2:53); likely the Model P2C. The device was introduced by the American company, Telesensory in December of 1979. The Ultratec Uniphone (4:22) enables communication through text messaging. A disabled programmer, Jeff (5:20) uses his nose in order to type. The original model was clunky; nose typing often caused mistakes. Innovations are discussed; the keyboard on the microcomputer was modified and a word stall was added in order to enable typing a single phrase with one stroke (5:46). This particular terminal was known as the 'Mate' and was software driven (5:56).

One of a series of films that showed "Americans at Work", this episode highlights the role of the iron workers, and tracies the path of fabricated metal pieces to job sites where they become integral parts of buildings. It appears to feature workers of Pawling &amp; Harnischfeger; a Milwaukee based company that was renowned for building heavy cranes and electrical machinery. P&amp;H was established in 1884 and continued as an independent business until they went bankrupt in 1999; the brand remains alive today as part of Komatsu.  Here, ornamental iron workers are shown to be modern successors of the blacksmith. This feature shows how they play a vital role in contemporary construction creating both structural and decorative metalwork. Ornate grills, gates and structural supports for various buildings are constructed. Laborers combine manual labor with powerful machinery to cut and join various metal components.  Various metals are explored including aluminum; a fairly newer metal. The process of etching and anodizing is featured. 

The film opens with the title screen (:23). It is presented by the AFL-CIO (:29). Images of intricate grill work (:40), gates, iron frames, doorways and stairwells follow (:56). Steel workers use high speed hand saws (1:07) while wearing protective face gear. Workers wear their company’s hat’s embroidered with P&amp;H (1:26).

"The Milestone" presents the hunt for a vaccine for poliomyelitis. Progress began in 1949 as the polio virus was successfully cultivated in human tissue. In 1955 the 'milestone' was hit as Jonas Salk proved his vaccine safe and effective. The National Organization for Infantile Paralysis; also known as the March of Dimes nonprofit, is featured in the film. March of Dimes is a US based nonprofit organization created to help improve the health of mothers and babies originally funded by FDR in 1938.

This historic documentary is presented by the Baltimore City Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (:19). It is narrated by Arnold Wilkes (:23) and produced by Stark-Films (:30). The film opens with an anecdote comparing the highways of the world to (:32) innovations made by man carved throughout time. Pedestrians jam up the sidewalks (:43). Oxen drag a cart through prairie lands (:50). An ancient sign post (1:06) is pictured. Pharmaceutical workers (1:12) work on new drugs leading into the subject of major medical breakthroughs. Several polio epidemic outbreaks occurred between 1948 and 1955. On April 1st, 1955 (1:29) a cure for polio was discovered. Youth affected with polio receive treatment in the hospital (2:37). News erupts on American television sets on April 12, 1955 (2:56). Newspaper sheets roll from the printer (3:04). Jonas Salk first tested his experimental killed-virus on himself and his family in 1953. A year later he tested the vaccine on 1.6 million Canadian children successfully. The vaccine was licensed the following year in 1955 (3:15). Children are inoculated by members of the March of Dimes (3:58). The non-profit turns to solve other issues surrounding curing ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0bec7abe-0195-4353-8967-060d1ec1bbcc/6dec4e6c-3203-4777-84bf-8edebccfd3e5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2tp8YEtEuTSWPkvkhXuKJL</video:player_loc><video:duration>818</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T03:28:21.287Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eLWxyw1GN1qRHS9E2V3iQP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/def530a3-aa79-42fa-b9d2-677e298a85a7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ AMERICANS AT WORK: STOCKYARDS ” 1959 AFL-CIO CATTLE INDUSTRY WORKERS  SIOUX CITY, IOWA  GG44665</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

One of a series of films that showed "Americans at Work", this episode highlights the cattle industry and stockyard workers in particular.  It is a short full of cattle prods, whips and meat industry workers.  The film takes place primarily at the Sioux City, Iowa Stockyard.  The film breaks down intricate processes involved in ensuring the meat reaches consumers. It also shows the change in agriculture in the post-war era as farmers turned from planting crops such as wheat for corn in order to feed the livestock. The film too shows an interesting insight into how the meat supply was controlled in this era, supplying various restaurants with regular meat-based meals at intervals, thus shaping the American diet. The Sioux City Stockyard would grow to cover 80 acres. It was a sprawling ‘town’ including it’s own business offices. The stockyard was opened in 1917 and closed in 2009.

“Americans at Work” was a series produced by Norwood Studios created to provide information on various skills and trainings for industrial work in the US in the late 1950’s. In total, 99 films were created and released weekly. Episodes included photography and narration from workers in a variety of fields including the television and steel industry. AFL-CIO is a National Trade Union Center formed in 1955. 

Workers poke livestock down an antiseptic-filled canal with pitchforks (:24). Nearly 32 million hogs passed through the hog pen annually (:55). Livestock rush for feed (1:05). One of the beasts receives inoculation (1:16). A large truck carts the animals over a bridge for the stockyard (1:44). Workers prepare to unload livestock as the narrator explains the variety of livestock transported here (2:06).

Dating to 1952 and prior to the First Taiwan Strait Crisis, "Formosa" was created by the U.S. Department of Defense as an orientation film for U.S. personnel. The film provides a overview of Taiwan (also known as Formosa), covers the island's geography, and its 20th Century history which included rule under the Japanese, return to Chinese control after WWII, the withdrawal of the Nationalist government to the island after the Chinese Civil War, and "present day" situation as a nation living under threat by the newly ascendent Communist government of China. 

0:17: Taiwan, an island slightly larger than Maryland, is located 6,000 miles west of the United States and within 100 miles of China's southeast coast.

0:26: Taiwan's Chinese name means "Bay of Terraces," but it is also known by its Portuguese name, Formosa, meaning "beautiful island."

0:35: Portuguese explorers named it Formosa 350 years ago. The Portuguese, Dutch, and Spaniards found ancient headhunting tribes and a primitive agricultural civilization. In the late 17th century, Europeans were forced out, and natives were driven into the mountains by Chinese immigrants.

1:07: Formosa became part of the Chinese Empire for over 200 years, reflecting mainland Chinese civilization. Many Formosan Chinese farmers follow Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism, speak a Chinese dialect and respect family, elders, and traditional roles for women.

1:49: After a war with China in 1895, Japan took possession of Formosa.

2:01: Japanese rule transformed Formosa into a valuable colony with a high standard of living.

2:23: New hydroelectric power and increased agricultural production were introduced. New industries created commerce and wealth.

"Office Systems Report"; a vintage office technology promo film created by IBM, showcases some of the company's 'new' technologies and the "office of the future". It promotes the Displaywriter Microcomputer system and reassures clients that IBM products in this era are compatible with one another, resulting in a highly efficient office. The 5520 Administrator System and 8100 Distributed Office System are discussed.  The 5520 Administrative System was first announced by IBM General Systems Division (GSD) in 1979; it was intended to complement existing products lines with text editing and data processing power and bolster the company in a market share fight against rival Wang. The IBM 8100 Information System, announced Oct. 3, 1978,  was at one time IBM’s principal distributed processing engine, providing local processing capability under two incompatible operating systems (DPPX and DPCX) and was a follow-on to the IBM 3790.

The film opens with images of an IBM secretary slipping a large floppy disk into an IBM Displaywriter Computer terminal (1:05). The secretary works on an IBM 3120 (1:15). Tony Stefanis, division director of small and office system marketing for IBM (1:16), Stefanis discusses document interchange capabilities, compatibility between computers, terminals and printers, and discusses the company's objective to meet the viewers' offices' needs. The 6670 laser printer is discussed (2:05). At (2:07) a view of New York City and the twin towers of the World Trade Center is shown with picture-in-picture images of a Displaywriter printing. An African American executive requests an inventory file from a secretary named Erin, who types at a keyboard (3:27).

"Come to the Fair" is a brief promo film for the Century 21 Exposition in Seattle. The Century 21 Exposition (also known as the Seattle World's Fair) was held April 21, 1962, to October 21, 1962, in Seattle, Washington. Nearly 10 million people attended the fair during its six-month run. As planned, the exposition left behind a fairground and numerous public buildings and public works; some credit it with revitalizing Seattle's economic and cultural life. The fair saw the construction of the Space Needle and Alweg monorail, as well as several sports venues (Washington State Coliseum, now Climate Pledge Arena) and performing arts buildings (the Playhouse, now the Cornish Playhouse), most of which have since been replaced or heavily remodeled. Unlike some other world's fairs of its era, Century 21 made a profit. The site, slightly expanded since the fair, is now called the Seattle Center; the United States Science Pavilion is now the Pacific Science Center. 

0:19 - 0:32: Introduction to the Fair with visitors arriving via an elevated monorail, setting the scene for a journey to the future.
0:32 - 0:55: The Exposition is described as America's first World's Fair in 22 years, themed "Century 21," showcasing the 21st century in Seattle, Washington.
1:02 - 1:25: The fair is set to host 10 million visitors on 72 acres with exhibits costing $80 million, showcasing American innovation in science, commerce, industry, and arts.
1:25 - 1:50: The fair's international aspect is highlighted, serving as a trade center for 50 nations, aiming to foster global cooperation in the quest for a better future.
1:50 - 2:19: Emphasis on both futuristic and contemporary attractions to engage visitors, blending education...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/10d7c283-4a7b-401b-854e-8c588dd12c69/4e225343-ed08-4c72-8940-0aa2e3e237f8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/35CwgDsF553crhamcsLuNM</video:player_loc><video:duration>324</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T03:36:29.575Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/p8jw9P8R3WfT8umvcPCEFU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/48b4c471-2227-4f71-9971-3b96d59ccc62.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s HOME MOVIE   VISIT TO WHITE HOUSE LAWN FOR EASTER EGG HUNT  (SILENT) GG15795</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This badly damaged home movie was shot by Army Col Arthur Paul Thayer, Jr. sometime in the 1940s. It starts with images of a little girl on roller skates (00:00) and then shows the West Lawn of White House being used for the annual Easter Egg Hunt, cherry blossoms (1:00) with the Old Executive Office Building visible in the background, a stuffed Easter Bunny rabbit toy (1:20), as well as some other family images including playing on a swing set (1:33), and a rider (probably Thayer, Jr.) performing stunts with his horse, such as you would see at an equestrian show (1:30).

This short group of PSAs from the 1970s were an outgrowth of a campaign organized 1970-73 during Richard Nixon's presidency. The administration worked with the nonprofit Advertising Council to orchestrate a national, “one-voice” mass media campaign to change Americans’ attitudes toward the use of drugs. One of these campaigns "Why Do You Think They Call it Dope?" proved highly successful, and became part of pop culture. 

Two PSAs are included here from the "Call it Dope" campaign, one at (0:06) and a second at (3:35). The first PSA (0:06) features a pusher attempting to sell drugs to young children, who talk back and debunk his statements about amphetamines and other street drugs. "Why Do You Think They Call it Dope?" The next ad, with a jungle theme, (1:27) comes from the American Osteopathic Association, campaigns against the casual misuse of prescription drugs. At (2:24) an FDA sponsored ad also delves into the hazards of taking too many prescription drugs including sleeping drugs. "Don't mix prescription drugs without medical advice." At (3:35) an Emperor's New Clothes cartoon attempts to educate people about the dangers of smoking pot and taking pills. "No thanks -- Why Do You Think They Call it Dope?"

" Omega " is a 1970 experimental short film directed by Donald Fox that explores the themes of death, rebirth, evolution, and the future of humanity. The hallucinogenic film is almost entirely made up of special effects and features a cast that includes Tim Tobin, Rod Franz, and David Ramsdale. The film's story is about how humans can make an evolutionary leap by harnessing the sun's power through an "energy ray". Some critics have described the film as "sheer poetry in sight".  Prints of Omega were widely circulated in the 1970s, with and without a soundtrack.

The film begins with shifting green colors around a pink hole with a black center (0:04). Title card: ”OMEGA”(0:51). Trumpets blare as the film zooms in from a field of stars to Earth (1:35). Psychedelic-colored waves and a closeup of Earth’s surface, appearing green and mountainous (1:55). Green branches with leaves and flowers moving (2:15). Black silhouette of three people sitting in a field (2:53). Closeups of vegetation in the field, looking on to a pinkish glow in the sky (3:06). Trumpet fanfare as an overshadowed frustrum (truncated pyramid) emits a glow in the foreground under a background of clouds and sky, shown at different angles (3:25). Silhouettes of long rectangular towers against a glowing pink background, viewed from different angles (3:32). An explosion of light from the top of the truncated pyramid (4:24). An energy ray from Earth being sent to the Sun (4:32). Eerie music as the Sun absorbs the energy, glowing (5:35). Solar energy waves above the Sun’s surface (5:59). A red wave from the Sun covers the Earth (6:36). Trees and grasses on Earth, tinged red (6:48).

This silent footage shows a party thrown in honor of the premiere of the Mr. Magoo Show, apparently held at Pt. Mugu, the Naval Missile Test Center located north of Los Angeles. It likely dates to 1960. A Regulus II missile is shown in target drone configuration (:38), with the Mr. Magoo logo painted on the missile. Stephen Bosustow, a founder of animation company UPA and the creator of the Mr. Mugu Show, is prominently featured and seen at 1:39 standing next to the missile. At 1:52 he pretends to be painting the missile. At 2:34, a sign for the Pacific Missile Range at the bottom of the missile trailer is seen, as well as more shots of the Regulus II and a bus marked "Mr. Magoo Special". Actor Jim Backus, who voiced Mr. Magoo, may also appear in the footage. At 4:34, a wider shot of the Regulus II on its launch trailer is shown. 

Stephen Reginald Bosustow was a Canadian-born American film producer from 1943 until his retirement in 1979. He was one of the founders of United Productions of America (UPA) and produced nearly 600 cartoon and live-action shorts. He is chiefly remembered for producing a string of Mr. Magoo and Gerald McBoing-Boing cartoons in the 1950s, three of which earned Academy Awards. He is the only film producer in history who received all the Oscar nominations in one category (1956), guaranteeing him the winning Oscar. Magoo's Puddle Jumper was the eventual winner.

Produced in 1937 and released by Encyclopedia Brittanica Films (aka ERPI), "Adventures of Bunny Rabbit" was a truly groundbreaking, sound educational film. Made at a time when almost all educational films were silent -- and in an era when few schools owned sound projectors -- it proved that sound films worked well in schools. "Bunny Rabbit" is considered (along with "Gray Squirrel" and "Snapping Turtle") one of the very first educational film to speak to the five and six year old child in his/her own language, without attempting to impart information directly. (Note: "Bunny Rabbit", though it was the first film distributed in the series, had been sent to the company in an advanced state. "Gray Squirrel" really was the first such film planned and executed by ERPI.)  The script for the film was written by PhD psychologist Laura Krieger, and it was photographed by Lynwood Chace. 
 
The story follows Mrs. Grey Rabbit and her young family as they live in a cozy home hidden in the woods. Mrs. Grey Rabbit is very protective of her babies, especially Bunny, the most adventurous one. One day, Bunny ventures out in search of food, specifically lettuce, despite his mother's warnings about the dangers in the woods. After asking various animals for help, Bunny eventually makes his way to a farm where he encounters several challenges, including being shooed away by cows, chickens, and puppies. Finally, he discovers the lettuce in a greenhouse but is caught by the farmer. Despite being trapped in a dollhouse, Bunny manages to escape and returns home safely, where he is reunited with his mother.

Dating to 1936, "The House-Fly" is an educational film made by Encyclopedia Brittanica Films in collaboration with Clyde Fisher, Ph.D. Summary: The life cycle of this common but extremely dangerous household pest is presented in detail; the egg, larvae, pupa and adult fly are illustrated; a vivid illustration of how dangerous the fly is as a carrier of disease germs is given. The most satisfactory methods of getting rid of flies are shown, with emphasis being laid on the fact that community effort is much more effective than isolated individual attempts to get rid of flies.

0:26-0:47: The common house fly, though uninvited, is a frequent guest at our dining tables and kitchens. Its filthy habits endanger our health and lives, making it one of the most deadly spreaders of disease.

0:50-1:04: To control or destroy this pest, we must understand its life and habits. The house fly lays its eggs in animal refuse, where the heat from decay helps incubate them.

1:08-1:26: The mother fly lays eggs using a long tube, with clusters of eggs visible under magnification. Each mother fly can lay up to five batches of about 100 eggs each.

1:30-2:00: Under favorable conditions, eggs hatch into maggots within 24 hours. These wriggling creatures feed and grow in filth, and are often eaten by barnyard chickens.

2:04-2:38: Maggots avoid sunlight and dig deeper into hiding places. After about a week, they form a protective pupa, which lasts about five days unless it is late fall, when it may last through winter.

2:41-3:06: A fly emerges from the pupal case using an expander on its head. The expander swells and breaks open the case, allowing the fly to push its way out.

3:09-4:08: Newly emerged flies crawl tow...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0b1f0165-da46-4d26-a185-52efb56e4df4/c1b342fd-0d82-4b21-ade0-602d35d2729f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2nDHWcLwqc372Ekimb19B7</video:player_loc><video:duration>623</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T04:14:59.948Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cfgRpRYeMHRoXxkgie8XZT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/63ba17e7-65f3-4701-a183-23fd494c629e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE HELICOPTER " 1953 EDUCATIONAL FILM   BELL 47, UH-13 SIOUX  PIASECKI H-21  X-COPTERS  XD26435</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

“The Helicopter” (1953) is a short, black-and-white educational film that uses live-action footage and animation to discuss the development of helicopters and the aerodynamics that allow it to fly and function. Produced by Encyclopedia Britannica (EB) Films in collaboration with Alexander A. Nikolsky of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering at Princeton University, the film walks the viewer through the various jobs undertaken by helicopters that are not possible by larger aircraft such as delivering mail, carrying out medical evacuations in combat zones, or water landings in swamp land. 

Film opens, EB films logo (0:06). Title page, text overlaid close-up propeller of helicopter (0:14). Jet propulsion and advancements in aviation, examples of different aircraft taking off from tarmac: Douglas C-54 Skymaster (0:30). Perhaps Grumman F9F Panther takes off (0:49). Bell 47 G-2 helicopter lands close to Eastern Airlines hangar (1:11). Examples of scenarios where use of helicopter is preferred or beneficial: Bell 47 G-2 takes off from airport to deliver mail to post office (1:33).

The film is about the plight of "hardcore" displaced persons (DPs) in Europe after WWII. These individuals, including the old, sick, and disabled, remain in DP camps because they have not been offered homes or jobs. The film highlights their struggles, the efforts of the IRO to rehabilitate and relocate them, and the challenges they face as time runs out with the IRO ending its operations in 1952. It also describes the efforts to help amputees, the blind, and those with other injuries regain functionality. It shows some of the countries that have accepted refugees, offering them a chance for a new life. The overarching theme is the uncertainty and hope for a better future for those still left behind.  (Note: The IRO was founded in 1946 to deal with the massive WWII refugee problem. In 1948, the IRO became a United Nations specialized agency. In 1952, operations of the IRO ceased, and it was replaced by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

This short documentary takes a look at a group identified as “The Hardcore.” These were refugees in Europe stuck in displaced persons camps following the close of WW2. In the wake of this major war, many would be resettled through efforts of the International Refugee Organization (IRO) founded in April of 1946. This feature explores hardships of displaced persons as nations closed their doors on them due to various health or physical conditions. Images show rehabilitation centers working to help the refugees regain health and job skills under pressure as the IRO’s operations were set to close in 1951. The IRO seal opens the film (:09). It was produced by the Office of Public Information of the International Refugee Organization (:16). Notable film producer, Arthur Zegart (:26) directed the film.

"Hazards of Tire Hydroplaning to Aircraft Operation" is a 1963 NASA documentary on aircraft hydroplaning and the research conducted at the NASA Langley Research Center's Landing Loads Facility. 

•  0:00: Introduction to hydroplaning, which can be pleasurable (e.g., water skiing) or problematic (e.g., aircraft tires lifting off a wet runway).

•  1:01: Aircraft tests show reduced braking effectiveness on wet runways due to lubrication effects.

•  1:18: Greater reductions in braking effectiveness occur in deep fluid (e.g., slush), leading to serious hydroplaning issues.

•  1:36: NASA Langley Research Center conducts research on hydroplaning using a test carriage catapulted by a water jet.

•  2:10: Various aircraft landing gears and tires are tested on a test carriage under different runway conditions, from dry to covered with water or slush.

•  2:38: Research shows partial hydroplaning at lower speeds and total hydroplaning at higher speeds, where wheel rotation stops.

•  3:00: Explanation of the physical principles of hydroplaning.

•  4:03: Introduction of deep fluid complicates the situation, producing additional drag and hydrodynamic lift forces.

•  5:02: At high speeds, complete separation between tire and ground occurs, leading to total hydroplaning.

•  5:56: Federal Aviation Agency tests show loss of directional stability and control due to hydroplaning.

•  6:30: Large reductions in braking effectiveness are observed under total hydroplaning conditions.

•  7:01: Changing the weight on the tire has little effect on the speed at which total hydroplaning occurs.

•  7:34: Relationship between forward speed and tire inflation pressure is studied.

•  8:13: A scientist draws a formula...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/46a4e0ff-25c8-4ad4-8bf9-90b806070ce2/ffeed8c1-0d68-4d92-81ba-43a7d18321b0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9HXBLLo9j4RTzjaeuPiFXq</video:player_loc><video:duration>905</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T04:25:13.233Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5tx7kBp46dEgTFJk1r73nZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/43a8da58-fe53-4e0c-b039-c5f421bdf7b0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" CHINA ON THE MARCH "  1959 COMMUNIST / PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA DOCUMENTARY  PART 3  XD26365</video:title><video:description>Visit our website www.PeriscopeFilm.com

“China on the March” (c.1959) is a black-and-white travelogue-style film written and narrated by Indian journalist Enakshi Bhavnani and produced by her husband Mohan Bhavnani. The 130-minute film documents the 12,000-mile journey the Bhavanis took with two cameramen across China at the invitation of the China-Indian Friendship Association. The film emphasizes the various modernizing and industrial advancements in each city during the years of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) economic and social campaign called “The Great Leap Forward” (1958-1962) which sought to reconstruct the country from an agrarian economy to an industrial one. This particular installment shows the last 40 minutes of the film, which begins in Peking and ends in Shanghai, covering Northwestern China and Uyghur provinces.

"Zero Draft" provides a historical overview of the draft and conscription in the United States, highlighting key events and changes over time from the Civil War to WWI, WWII and the Vietnam Era, with the all-volunteer concept arriving in 1973. The film also seems to have an agenda of sorts, promoting the "new Army" with enhancements such as relatively high pay and good quality of life. 

The "zero draft" had its genesis during the 1968 presidential election, when Richard Nixon campaigned on a promise to end the draft. Nixon had become interested in the idea of an all-volunteer army during his time out of office, based upon a paper by Martin Anderson of Columbia University, and in part due to the efforts of ardent anti-draft activist-economist and Nobel laureate, Milton Friedman. (Nixon also saw ending the draft as an effective way to undermine the anti-Vietnam War movement since he believed affluent youths would stop protesting the war once their own probability of having to fight in it was gone.) The draft was not resumed in 1973.

This untitled, silent, unedited, color film offers an in-depth look at the daily operations and environmental challenges faced by the U.S. Signal Corps' Meteorological (Met) Team stationed at Camp Century in Greenland. The film documents the team's extensive data-gathering activities, including the use of radiosondes, Stevenson screens, and wind-measuring devices to monitor atmospheric conditions on the Greenland ice sheet - all while living in immense isolation and operating under extreme weather conditions. The film appears to use the same footage from the film “SIGC Met Team: Greenland” (1959) however the order of the clips and length of the films slightly differ. 

At Camp Century in Greenland, the U.S. Army tested a range of technologies that addressed both scientific research and military strategic goals. Built in 1959 and operating through the 1960s, the camp was part of a broader Cold War initiative to explore Arctic environments and investigate the feasibility of hidden military installations under ice.

“SIGC Met Team: Greenland” (1959) is an unedited, silent, color film offering an in-depth look at the daily operations and environmental challenges faced by the U.S. Signal Corps' Meteorological (Met) Team stationed at Camp Century in Greenland. The film documents the team's extensive data-gathering activities, including the use of radiosondes, Stevenson screens, and wind-measuring devices to monitor atmospheric conditions on the Greenland ice sheet - all while living in immense isolation and operating under extreme weather conditions. 

At Camp Century in Greenland, the U.S. Army tested a range of technologies that addressed both scientific research and military strategic goals. Built in 1959 and operating through the 1960s, the camp was part of a broader Cold War initiative to explore Arctic environments and investigate the feasibility of hidden military installations under ice.

This film "Sunday" is an Emile de Antonio release directed by Dan Drasin (:08).  This film is often cited as the first major social protest film of the Sixties. In that era, Sunday was the big day for “the folkies” to meet up and perform at New York's Washington Square Park. At the time, applying for a permit was required. The Parks Depart. decided the folkies' presence was no longer welcome and denied the permit for Sunday, April 9th, 1961, resulting in the so-called "Beatnik Riot" or "Folk Riot". 

00:00  “Sunday” is set in New York and covers the April 9th 1961 “Folk Riot” at Washington Square Park. The riot played a pivotal role in Greenwich Village park’s history. A denial for regular demonstration ignited a major folk music rally. In the 1960’s, Sunday was a prominent day for musicians to meet and demonstrate in the park. City officials decided the folk musician’s presence was no longer welcome and denied their right to demonstrate on Sunday April 9th, 1961. Two weeks following the demonstration, the folk singers won the right to reclaim the space. It shows stunning images around the park leading up to the protest as well as interactions with demonstrators and police officers including footage of Izzy Young. The film opens with chunky notes of American folk; Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land.” It continues through the lead up and into the demonstration as the park fills with performers and later police as tensions escalate and the rally is fragmented. Youth play in the park (:19). Men toss a frisbee (:56) on the street. Black capped police officers watch actions in the quiet park (1:15). Pedestrians sit on stone steps encircling the Washington Square Arch (1:17). A city bus passes (...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/53888c28-2cc1-405f-8d90-57878beb2ad6/cf9929a0-313e-4051-92a4-94f19678912b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bjgRMkK2NtAyswKxRZg4zG</video:player_loc><video:duration>1083</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T05:33:31.060Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3WL1x1sXksrEi9nKGGrBaq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fe353aac-8892-4cbe-b6b1-ab2e0c994fef.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ THE TALLEST TREE IN OUR FOREST ” 1977 PAUL ROBESON DOCUMENTARY  CIVIL RIGHTS PART 1 of 3 BF10015</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This dark documentary delivers the interesting tale of Hitler's 'buried treasure'. This is a rare, kinescope episode of the 1950's non-fiction television series hosted by Bill Burrud titled "Treasure with Bill Burrud”. The series originally ran on KCOP TV. Burrud was a notable child actor and television host and producer best known for his travel programs. It's difficult to know how much of this particular episode is factual. The only story that appears somewhat similar involves Herbert Herzog, a half-Jewish Viennese merchant who was also a survivor of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp. In 1945, Herzog led troops of the 3rd US Infantry Division to a hiding place in the mountains at Badgastein near Salzburg in Austria. Gold coins weighing almost 9000 pounds were recovered. Famously, Herzog never received any reward for his efforts and the gold ended up in the Austrian State Bank.  

Eerie shots of skiers running down black and white slopes of Austria (:13). A black hand grips for surface air under thick snow (:29). Burrud (:41) explains the episode shows the struggle between two German troopers during WW2 struggling to find a rich gold mine in the Australian Alps. This mission was ordered by Hitler as a desperate attempt to continue to fund the German portion of the war. Years later, a couple locate a body in the snow in the slopes during a stay at a ski resort (1:25). The man scrapes snow aside (1:32). He makes a haunting discovery; the man was wearing a Nazi uniform. He locates a small red notebook (2:19). Hitler appears from nightmares past (2:32). German forces aim a cannon (2:37).

This silent color home movie from 1955 captures a leisurely voyage aboard the SS Lurline, a luxury liner operated by the Matson Navigation Company, sailing from San Francisco to Honolulu. The film showcases various moments of the trip, from passengers sunbathing on the ship to the ship’s approach to Honolulu Harbor. Traditional Hawaiian customs are highlighted through performances of hula dances and fishing demonstrations, offering a glimpse into Hawaii’s postwar tourism boom before the dominance of air travel.

The SS Lurline was most prominent from the 1930s through the 1960s, especially for its Hawaii route before air travel dominated. This ship played a major role in tourism between the U.S. mainland and Hawaii. The era depicted in the film represents the height of the Lurline's operations before it was eventually retired in 1963.

This fragment of a Social Security Administration (SSA) film by Milner-Fenwick talks about the storage of SSA records. The film discusses how SSA efficiently manages records of individuals' earnings from the moment they receive their Social Security card and start working, utilizing modern computer systems like magnetic tape and microfilm. The information in these records is confidential and can only be shared with the individual or an authorized representative. When it's time to claim benefits, local SSA offices assist workers or their dependents by sending claims to payment centers, where trained staff authorize monthly checks. Once benefits are established, individuals rarely need to visit the office again, but help is available through phone calls or home visits if necessary, especially for those unable to visit due to illness or disability. The example of a 122-year-old beneficiary highlights how Social Security provides financial security during retirement, ensuring a more comfortable and stable life in later years.

This film "Arctic Underwater Acoustics" (1965) looks at a series of experiments conducted in the northern arctic using the DIMUS hydrophone system. DIMUS was used for research purposes to analyze underwater signals in the cold, iceberg infested waters, with the hope of being able to detect Soviet submarines operating at the top of the world. In 1958, the submarine USS Nautilus proved the Arctic Ocean could be used for nuclear submarine operations, though it posed unique challenges. To better understand underwater sound in the Arctic, which is crucial for submarine warfare, a research team set up a permanent station on Ice Island T-3, aka Fletcher's Ice Island, located 450 miles north of Barrow, Alaska. The station hosted the DIMUS processor system, a network of hydrophone holes and seismometers designed for underwater signal analysis. The team also conducted experiments by linking T-3 with a temporary station, Arlus 4, 100 miles away, using underwater explosions to generate low-frequency signals. These signals, along with ambient sounds like ice creaks and marine animal calls, were analyzed to improve knowledge of Arctic underwater acoustics. The project was completed by the GM Defense Research Laboratory's 1965 expedition, marking the successful installation of the system for the year. (Note: Fletcher's Ice Island or T-3 was an iceberg discovered by U.S. Air Force Colonel Joseph O. Fletcher. Between 1952 and 1978 it was used as a staffed scientific drift station that included huts, a power plant, and a runway for wheeled aircraft.) (Note: DIMUS [Digital Multi-beam Steering] is a technology that enhances the capabilities of hydrophone arrays, allowing for omnidirectional sound detection and tracking in three dimensions, crucial for passive sonar systems on...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fb1fde07-067d-45f7-b30c-b5b2b26ea2bb/b2a3568f-c152-4731-a455-81601d1fdd1e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/x1znPDLEpsqQ48DF3tvrNk</video:player_loc><video:duration>247</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T06:25:17.347Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fF4hLzpqFn2DcUjFXjNo15</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/95f8ee5b-955c-4be4-a5a3-fde3729d5487.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ THE BIG REACH ” 1958 DOUGLAS AIRCRAFT FILM   ABLE 1&amp;2 / PIONEER 0&amp;1  LUNAR PROBES   GG44505</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This film, “The Big Reach” presented by Douglas Aircraft Corp., presents a vivid recount of the beginnings of USA space exploration. It focuses on the buildup and efforts leading into the first lunar probe launches in 1958. It shows the story of Able 1 &amp; 2 (later known as Pioneer 0 &amp; 1).  This was humanity’s first attempt to send a spacecraft beyond Earth orbit. The plan was to orbit the Moon, but malfunctions doomed both spacecraft. (Some limited data on the near-Earth environment was collected.) The film provides an in-depth breakdown of Thor; an airborne lidar instrument created to measure the thickness and internal structure of highly scattered media. Sites shown include Allegany Ballistics Laboratory,  and people such as Clete Roberts, Major General Ben Ivan Funk and Dr. Adolph K. Theil.

This presentation film titled “Challenger STS-6” was created by NASA in 1983. It's not clear who narrates the film, but it appears to be one of the astronauts aboard the mission (or possibly someone at Mission Control).  The STS-6 mission was manned by a four-person astronaut crew consisting of Paul J. Weitz, Karol J. Bobko, F. Story Musgrave, and Donald H. Peterson. STS-6 was the sixth NASA Space Shuttle mission and the maiden flight of the Space Shuttle Challenger. It launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on April 4, 1983. The mission deployed the first Tracking and Data Relay Satellite, TDRS-1, into orbit, before landing at Edwards Air Force Base on April 9, 1983. STS-6 was also the first Space Shuttle mission during which an Extravehicular activity was conducted. Note: although we scanned this from a film print, that film print appears to be a telecine or video transform to film; the images contain typical video color and other distortions which would not be present it if was shot solely on film.

One of a series of films that showed "Americans at Work", this episode showcases hatmakers or milliners, the people who make hats -- which, at the time the film was made, was a big industry.  It shows the history and craftsmanship of hat making as hats evolved from practical methods of protection from sun and rain into fun and fashionable accessories. Various materials are used including straw and felt. The film dives deeper showing how hatters pay specific attention to detail and form. It also contrasts the methods of hat versus cap making. The hatting industry was on the decline in the 1950’s post war period forcing manufacturers to produce more variety and extravagant toppers. Some workers from Stetson,  a famous Philadelphia based company established in 1865, are featured. (John B. Stetson Company, founded by John B. Stetson in 1865, was the maker of the Stetson cowboy hats, but ceased manufacturing in 1970. The brand continues to this day.)

"Americans at Work" was produced by Norwood Studios in an effort to educate the American public on various industrial jobs. In total, 99 films were created and released weekly. AFL-CIO is a major national trade union center operating since December of 1955 through the merger of AFL; established in 1886, and CIO; established in 1935. 

This episode opens with a man forming men’s style hats (:11) by hand. The title screen appears (:14). It is presented by AFL-CIO (:23). A sportsman in a sports car slips on an Ivy style cap (:38). Golfers tee off under straw Burmese hats (:44). Street scenes watch pedestrians (:53) under various styles. One man presses down a boater straw hat (1:09). A Coastline Cab runs behind (1:10).

“True Adventure: Surf Riders of Hawaii” (c.1960) is a  documentary TV episode highlighting the sport of surfing in Hawaii. This film is part of a greater 60s-era TV series called True Adventure which was hosted by Bill Burrud. In this particular installment, host Bill Burrud introduces the film alongside famed surfer and videographer Bruce Brown. Bruce was known for his short films that shed light on the culture and sport of surfing and was best known for his film “Barefoot Adventure.” The film touches on the most dangerous parts of the sport, where the best surf is, as well as the surfers’ pass times during the off season. Thought to have Polynesian origins dating back to the 12th century, surfing rose in popularity across the world during the early 20th century thanks to stars of the sport, George Freeth and Duke Kahanamoku. American interest in the sport grew once more during World War II as servicemen turned to surfing while stationed in Hawaii. Opening sequence and credits for Bill Burrud’s True Adventure series: avalanche, deep sea diver, mountain climber (0:08). Bill Burrud speaks to audience, opening words introducing segment on surfing in Hawaii (0:28). Montage surfers ride large waves, view down barrel, young man jumps from rocky cliff into water (0:51).

From 1956 to 1964 Bell Telephone created nine televised specials; known as the Bell Science Series, for AT&amp;T Corp originally broadcasted in color. This film titled “The Unchained Goddess” was the fourth and final film of the series produced by Frank Capra. Capra employed animation and scientific explanation in order to provide an in depth look on how weather forms. The film's narrative is built around a conversation between meteorologists preparing a weather program and deities of weather. The film is a unique blend of myth, humor and tension between scientific understanding as well as legendary influence on weather, and dates from an era when it was widely believed that man would be able to influence or even control weather on a global scale. Various aspects of weather are explored including the cause of wind, the Coriolis Effect, creation of thunder and lightning as well as early concerns over climate change. Concepts of weather forecasting are explored. The film visits the National Weather Analysis Center in order to explain the use of Isobaric charts in order to predict the weather. 

The Bell logo opens the feature (:09) starring Richard Carlson and Dr. Frank C. Baxter (:31). Clouds pass over mountain ridges (:46).

One in a series of traffic safety films made in 1950 by James S. Kemper for the Lumbermans Mutual Casualty Company, with the technical assistance of the LAPD, "Teenicide" addresses the alarming issue of teenage driving-related deaths. The film referrs to "teenocide" because as the police officer narrator states, there has been an 86% increase in the 15-24 age group over the past 25 years. Despite teenagers having physical advantages, such as sharp vision and quick reflexes, they are often the worst drivers due to inexperience and lack of training. The narrator explains that many teens learn to drive through trial and error, often mimicking poor driving habits from others. The solution to reducing teenicide is through proper driver education, where teens learn safe driving practices, respect for the law, and how to handle a car safely.

“America’s First Women Astronauts” is presented by the US based insurance company, Crum &amp; Forster. It is an episode of the Screen News Digest series produced by Hearst Metrotone News. Episodes were freely distributed to schools across the USA to both promote the sponsors, and to to educate the public on national and foreign affairs. This particular episode dives into evolution of women’s role in space exploration; an area initially dominated by men. It compares the US space race against the Soviet Union with a negative viewpoint on the Soviet’s program and a tone of the film which was very much of the time period towards women. NASA’s Shuttle Program saw the introduction of women into the space age in the US with a selection of six female astronauts including Sally Ride and Judy Resnik in 1978. The short discusses training, challenges and eventual success of both astronauts in space. 

It opens with images of Crum &amp; Forster, a leading national property &amp; casualty insurance company, with its headquarters in Morris county (:13). Various shots watch employees operating machinery such as forklifts (:21). A brief history leading into the early 1980’s is explored (1:27) including Mercury flights and Apollo launchings. The Soviet space program first sent Valentina Tereshkova and later Svetlana Savitskaya into space (1:44). Nikita Khrushchev and his leading female astronauts parade the streets (1:43). Shuttle engines fire for a launching (1:40) as the film turns to the US space program. Close shots watch the first US foot steps onto the moon’s surface (2:23). This feature was written by Fred Warshofsky (3:11). The process for selection of the first female astronauts follows (3:25). Sally Ride and Judy...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8408f5d7-4459-49c3-af84-5ce42ad5a3ee/3248e39b-11d9-452f-8c8f-9776e08a7e04-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hiDtPB15Ukf43rjHuGFFGb</video:player_loc><video:duration>939</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T07:20:13.555Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vfHuMmA4En2tt7dCaDniDo</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/59178b9d-4bfe-47a6-ac8d-cd745e11b8d0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1929 NATIONAL AIR RACES  w/ CHARLES LINDBERGH, ERNST UDET, JIMMY DOOLITTLE, HUGO ECKENER  70054</video:title><video:description>This silent film is a somewhat fragmentary newsreel, showing some of the events at the 1929 Cleveland National Air Races. The film was likely commissioned by Cliff Henderson, who organized the races with his brother. Some of the notables who appear in the film include race pilot Jimmy Doolittle, aviator Charles Lindbergh and the supervising builder of many of Germany's most successful dirigibles, Hugo Eckener (referred to in the film as Eckner).

The film begins with shots of a mass parachute jump, followed at 1:17 with footage of Hugo Eckener, commander of the Graf Zeppelin, arriving in Cleveland. At 1:50, Eckener meets with Charles Lindbergh. At 2:08, Eckener sits at a seat of honor at the races and at 2:33, he rides a blimp to Akron. At 2:59, Army and Navy fighters fly in formation. At 4:46, Jimmy Doolittle in a Laird Super Solution wins the Bendix Transcontinental race. At 5:44, German flier Ernst Udet appears with his D-822  Flamingo aircraft. He puts on quite an acrobatic show. The film ends with footage of an autogyro landing on the field.

The Bendix Trophy is a U.S. aeronautical racing trophy. The transcontinental, point-to-point race, sponsored by industrialist Vincent Bendix founder of Bendix Corporation, began in 1931 as part of the National Air Races. Initial prize money for the winners was $15,000. The last Bendix Trophy Race was flown in 1962.

This longform 1960s ad describes the features and benefits of the Westinghouse washer, emphasizing its convenience and advanced functionality. It contrasts the traditional, labor-intensive process of washing blankets with agitator washers, where the user must manually soak, rinse, and spin the load multiple times, with the Westinghouse washer's automatic blanket washing program, which requires only a push of a button. The washer also offers various customizable options, such as an automatic soak program, pre-wash, extra rinse, and the ability to adjust water temperature and levels. Designed for ease of use, it includes a side-opening lid with easy-to-follow instructions and a high-quality porcelain enamel tub. Additionally, the washer features a load marker system to help users set the appropriate water saver level and a reset function for flexibility when adding more laundry mid-cycle. The commercial concludes by assuring the user of the washer's superior cleaning performance with its double-action system.

Despite expecting a hostile response, the officer is met with politeness and professionalism from the driver.

Writer and producer Warren Wallace interviews students at their chosen colleges and universities. Through these interviews, viewers are able to understand the changes students undergo exposed to the studious environments. College football fans wave arms in stands (:24). A student ponders the decision to choose the right school. Another studies in the yard in Illinois (:37). The towers of Amherst College follow (:41). Students pass on the sidewalk before San Francisco State College (:47). Aerial shots move over Amherst (1:23) Massachusetts. Amherst was founded in 1821 as an all-male college. In 1975, however, they transitioned into coeducation. The liberal arts program is discussed (1:33). A medical student explains “why Amherst” in the school gym (1:58). Theater students rehearse for a play (3:13). A series of drama students (3:50) explain orientation and the pressures of the first year of college.

This silent, color, home-style film offers a glimpse into the lives of miners and their families connected to the Christopher Coal Company’s Arkwright #1 Mine near Granville, West Virginia, later owned by Consolidated Coal. The footage captures both coal mining operations and family life, with scenes of miners working together, children playing, and families sharing moments on their porches. Interspersed with shots of mine entrances, locomotives, and coal-laden railcars, the film offers insight into the community built around the mine and everyday life in a 1960s mining town. (Note: the film is in two sections, the first portion of the film we believe may date to as late as 1970, and the second portion of the film is likely mid-1950s). 

Film opens, man rides on side of rail car loaded with coal along foliage-lined banks of perhaps Monongahela River (0:08). Camera pans back-lit structures of coal plant (0:20). Tiled storage box that reads “Konya Coal” (0:45). Mining trolley approaches camera on track (0:56). Miners seem to oil the mining carts, smoke cigarettes together (1:05). Scenes of perhaps family member of mine worker, man holds young son on shoulders in small backyard of modest family home, two young children play with each other, an older woman and gentleman embrace while sitting on a porch (1:27). Entrance to Christopher Coal Company Arkwright #1 Mine and Osage #3 Mines (2:09). Close-up motor, mechanisms for driving the mining trolley (2:10). Man exits mine while operating General Electric 50 Ton Locomotive (2:17). Mining trolley exits mine full of coal (2:24). Tin-covered mechanized conveyor belt leads coal into mine (2:41).

"San Francisco By the Golden Gate" is a vintage California travelogue produced by Philip M. Brown that dates to 1932. Tales of California’s silver past unfold as the camera travels to famous sites including Alcatraz Island, the Golden Gate (where the Golden Gate Bridge was built in 1933), the long wharf running into the San Francisco Bay, towns within Marin County as well as the old sloop Gjoa by the Bay among others. Sights and sounds of the golden west are accompanied by classical tunes and modern narration. San Fran was emerging into an era of prosperity into the 1920's and 1930's. Opening footage swings in with light clouds over an aerial shot of the city near the golden gate (:23). The narrator states the area was settled by two 'monks' in 1776 (:34). The area was in fact settled by Spanish settlers in 1776. History continues into 1846 (:50) and the Gold Rush of 1848.

This wonderful 1960s musical film by Lee Rothberg Productions, Inc. for the U.S. Post Office Department highlights the importance of the postal system, particularly the role of ZIP codes in improving mail delivery. It uses music from The Swingin’ Six, an American folk group, to discuss the challenges faced by the postal service due to increasing mail volume, traces the history of communication methods, and explains how the ZIP code system simplifies sorting and delivery. Zip codes were first introduced in the United States in 1963. The Swingin' Six was actually a real band - with a 1967 album called "For the First Time" released by Decca. The group consisted of: Steve Burnett - vocals, banjo, guitar, John Fisher - vocals, guitar, Pat Lanigan - vocals, guitar, Richard Neives - vocals, guitar, bass, flute, Ann Rachel - vocals, Carol Richards - vocals.

The film starts on an American flag background, with the first song from 0:34-1:50 acknowledging the postal system's challenges with increased mail volume and need for solutions. The group is composed of 4 men, (two on guitar) with two female singers. Three men next to a red U.S. postal mailbox (1:22). Starting at 1:56, the film provides historical context on communication methods and the evolution of mail delivery leading to a mail explosion by 1948. Cavemen hit each other with sticks (2:00). A man with a torch (2:35) represents ancient civilizations; a series of black-and-white drawings shows communication development with mail, wagons, and ships (3:17). At 3:26, paintings of mail on horseback and westward expansion.  Black-and-white footage of post office workers (3:51) and stagecoaches. Bunches of letters and packages representing increased mai...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ca7de142-0a40-472d-8560-b6291fdbdf8e/e2bf097f-22ce-4397-956c-45f80922d6da-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/r1ggWkMNnt7ksjZ58MdmLW</video:player_loc><video:duration>919</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T07:45:26.230Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pTVFfhyJEysUGB3mS2SsMb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/53b3bde5-ed13-4d94-9df4-473ca2707c55.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" REDWOOD SAGA  LOGGING CALIFORNIA'S GIANTS OF ANTIQUITY "  1946 LUMBER INDUSTRY FILM XD97865</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

“Redwood Saga” is a retro silent about the redwood lumber industry of northern California. The 1946 educational short shows stunning shots of the loading, transportation, mill sawing and finishing operations required for lumbering massive redwoods from California forests. These historic giants are a rare breed; and rather dangerous to cut, making the footage itself historic. It is a Guy D. Haselton Travelettes (:12). Black and white footage swings in as a tree tips over (:46). The history of the redwood trace to prehistoric eras (1:05). The origin of the name is discussed (1:27).

A wooden faced building crafted from redwood follows (2:45). Lumber yard employees hack at wood with an axe (2:55). Stacks of lumber await shipment (3:09). A white chapel stands erected from redwood lumber (3:15). Fuzzy images of the antique interior follow (3:24).

Steam trains (4:08) stand in the middle of a lumber yard. A high line sky rigger carries logs by cable (4:20). The aerial lumber jack tops selected tall trees (4:33). A white axe cuts into a redwood (4:39). The logger shimmies up the thick tree base (5:04). He hacks an axe into the top of the tree (5:23) leaving a fat white smile. A toothy thin center remains as he continues to cut around the center of the tree (5:32). The logger waves as the tree snaps off (5:51). The rigging slinger goes aloft to attach cables (5:54). The logger is pulled up (6:03) the red wood.

One of a series of films that showed "Americans at Work", this episode highlights television industry workers. The film provides a detailed overview of the beer brewing process in America, highlighting the tradition and craftsmanship involved. It starts by emphasizing the long-standing tradition of brewing, passed down from generation to generation. The text then describes the various stages of brewing, from the cultivation of barley and grains on farms to the final product being delivered to consumers. The film was shot at the Bürger Beer company brewery in Cincinnati, Ohio. Bürger started in 1934 following the repeal of prohibition. It rose to prominence as the official beer of the Cincinnati Reds Baseball Club, to the point where the storied Crosley Field (where the Reds played their home games) became known as "Burgerville."

"Americans at Work" dates to 1959-1960. In 1958, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer, William F. Schnitzler, announced the production of 52 films to run weekly for one year. The popularity of the series persuaded the AFL-CIO to extend the project by an additional 52 films.  The AFL-CIO Public Relations Department, led by director Albert J. Zack and assistant director Robert J. Wentworth, primarily coordinated the production and distribution of the series. Production was contracted to Norwood Studios, Inc. of Washington, DC, which was founded and managed by Phillip M. Martin.

'The Gardens of Victory' (:14) is a WW2 era film presented by ‘Better Homes and Garden Magazine’ (:18). It was created by the US Office of Civil Defense (:24) as a way to educate American civilians on the necessity of growing vegetable gardens. During the Second World War over 20 million Victory Gardens were planted in order to reduce reliance on commercial gardens so as to funnel food supplies to troops abroad. The ever popular magazine, "Better Homes and Garden" was launched in 1922 under the original title "Fruit Garden and Home". The name changed over in 1924. It is the fourth most widely circulated magazine in the US. This brief film was created for public use and presents a jovially patriotic advertisement for growth of home gardens for the war effort. Opening scenes show a supply yard full of food crates and covered vehicles for transport to Allied troops (:34). Fighting men scurry for the food line (:38).

Dating to 1955, this silent travelogue shows Damascus, Syria. Exact production dates are unclear; it may have been filmed during the regime of Adib al-Shishakli, or when Hashim al-Atassi or Hashim al-Atassi was president. Here, Damascus appears as a well manicured, orderly city with beautiful buildings. Damascus remains the capital and culture center of Syria. It has a rich history embedded in religion often considered the fourth holiest city in Islam. Damascus is nestled along the eastern foothills of the Anti-lebanon mountain range erected on a strategic site on a plateau above sea level. The Barada river feeds the water supply. The city’s birth traces to the second portion of the seventh millennium BC. “Damascus, Syria” includes wide and narrow views of the city covering landscape, architecture, religious sites such as the Qal’a Dimasq, the Al Marjeh Square, some of the ancient gates of the city and personal shots of locals including the ice cream parlor cart pushing across a residential neighborhood and a young boy cutting across traffic between covered jeeps and donkey carts. Later sections provide tours of the Mosque of Damascus and the Al Azaem Palace. Color is immaculately preserved. Damascus is known by poets as the ‘City of Jasmine.’ Architecturally, it is a blend of roman, byzantine and Islamic influence. Inward-oriented, courtyard homes are completed with understated exteriors and often erected with limestone showcasing intricate mosaics and tile work. 

The film opens on the ridges of the Anti-lebanon mountains also called Mount Amana (:17). Shots pan over white pillars of the city (:22). The heart of Damascus snaps into view (:35). The Qala’a Dimashq; a palace, fortress and UNESCO World Heritage site stands center shot near the old walled medi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ad4f8ce3-5ad2-4acd-adc5-64cb9604dc1d/10ea80d4-b3e6-4943-a9cb-9e9f989bd8d6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/npgt5qFCasEqUQhYA3VRuZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>696</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T08:09:34.245Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/v7a1i3n1zy9imsGWxAwy5Y</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/696f2a07-703e-4c5c-8fd8-2075511d8606.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE USS FRANKLIN "  WWII JAPANESE ATTACK ON AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS FRANKLIN  MARCH 19, 1945 GG46675</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This short film recounts the heroic story of the USS Franklin, a World War II aircraft carrier known as "Big Ben," which at the time lay deserted in the Navy Yard at Bayonne, New Jersey (it was scrapped in 1966). The Franklin is remembered for its captain and crew's refusal to abandon ship despite severe damage from a Japanese dive bomber attack on March 19, 1945. The attack caused massive fires and explosions, resulting in the deaths of 700 men. Despite the devastation, the crew fought valiantly to save the ship, with assistance from the cruiser Santa Fe and the destroyer Hickock. The Franklin, crippled but still afloat, eventually steered for port under its own power. The ship now stands as a silent memorial to the bravery and sacrifice of its crew, embodying the spirit of American resilience and heroism.

New World Productions (:14) delivers a meaty documentary on the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen (AMCBW) . '24 hours' details functions and processes of an effective union. AMCBW operated from 1897 to 1979. Amalgamated Meat Cutters was chartered by the AFL in 1897 in order to consolidate local unions in Chicago. Union reps worked closely with and protected retail and packaging house workers. The AMCBW hosted the Big Strike of Packers on July 12, 1904. The benefits of the union is explored through a series of anecdotes. Worker power and union grip slipped into the decline in the 1980's. Much of the slip was due to outsourcing of industry and greater employer opposition to organized efforts. "24 hours" features footage of prominent figures in the union hierarchy. Sexism in the workplace is discussed as the union representative helps a gaggle of 'dizzy dames' under inadequate management.

This short, silent film from Railway Film Productions entitled "L.A. Trolley" was photographed by Leo Caloia, who gained fame as the first movie cameraman to ever film Marilyn Monroe. The film begins with a PCC car, Los Angeles Railway #3141. At :42, another LARY car pulls up behind it. At :52, the trolley car moves down the street.  Its destination sign reads, "Pico to Rimpau". At 1:15 car #3152 is seen. At 1:43 #3152 is shown moving at high speed in traffic, including a motorman's POV shot and rear view. At 3:04, a view of a PCC car from a high building (possibly City Hall) is shown. At 3:30 a PCC moves past downtown with City Hall in the background. 

Note: given the color scheme of the PCC car, and the presence of 1959 autos in the film, the film was probably shot in the 1959 or the early 1960s (service ended on this line in 1963). The Pico Blvd. to Rimpau line PCCs were known for their "Fruit Salad" color scheme, which included yellow, green, and other colors.

During the Cold War, the U.S. military saw Greenland as an important outpost and sought to establish bases there. This film shows Operation Icecap II, which took place between May and September of 1954. Icecap took place under the auspices of the U.S. Army’s Snow, Ice and Permafrost Research Establishment (SIPRE) launched in 1949. SIPRE’s Operation Icecap investigated the surface of the inland ice and attempted to peer within it. Party Crystal, which was a small mobile scientific team, worked eastward from Thule Air Base from May to September 1954 measuring elevation, snow properties, snow accumulation, density, stratigraphy and permeability, summer melt, and drilling ice cores. The data were put to use in considerations for transportation and engineering operations on the inland ice, including excavations, digging, and tunnelling.

This "Almanac Newsreel" celebrates physicist Albert Einstein. It was one of a series of short or interstitial shows that aired in the late 1950s in place of TV commercials. It featured various events in history, condensed to about three minutes. The series producer was Richard B. Morros. 

Albert Einstein lived a life marked by profound contributions to the betterment of society and science while waging peaceful efforts amid a tumultuous globe. As the nuclear age approached he remained against atomic and nuclear warfare stating “The war is one, but peace is not.” He also stated “the unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking…” During his lifetime, he fundamentally transformed human interpretation of the universe from the microorganism of the atom to the vast spread of interplanetary voids. The film also stresses in spite of his fame and massive contributions, the character of the man remained shy and humble. It explores, briefly, his theories of relativity, the photoelectric effect, his time spent at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, his advocacy work for peace and support for Zionism. The newsreel traces his life as he relocated from Germany in the 1930’s, his success as a Nobel Peace Prize winner and his death in 1955. 

00:00 Series header (:09) and episode title screen noting Albert’s birthday was March 14th, 1879 (:16). Opening footage from 1935 captures Einstein and his wife, Mileva Maric (:42) as they arrive from a trek aboard the Hapbag ship “Oakland” (:44) to the US. Narration discusses his impact on the 20th century including his prolific theory of relativity. Einstein and his wife were fleeing Nazi persecution.

Here are eight short, silent scientific films created from 1965-1968 at MIT and at University of California Livermore Radiation Laboratory.  Most of the visual images were produced by pioneering computer  graphics programs and displayed on a cathode ray tube. This includes a Lunar Lander 3d model shown on an Adage computer terminal screen, material produced on a CDC-3600 computer, as well as a PDP-7 computer and PDP-340 display terminal. Other films show data displays programmed by Computer Sciences Corporation, computed on a UNIVAC 1107 computer, and photographed on Stromberg Carlson 4020 recorder. Note:  The films do not show the computer hardware, but the graphical displays are a record of some of the computer graphics capabilities of this era.  

First, a 90 second promo for the Adage Graphics Terminal (note: Adage was founded by Jim Stockwell and two other MIT graduates in 1957).

Dating to 1950, this film "Airplanes and How They Fly" was directed at an elementary school audience. It describes the mechanics of how airplanes fly and are controlled. It explains the principles of lift and thrust, the role of different types of engines (propeller, jet, and turboprop), and how control surfaces like rudders, elevators, and ailerons help pilots maneuver the aircraft. It also touches on the importance of airplanes in modern transportation and their continuous technological advancements.

•  0:22-0:34: A large B-47 Stratojet airplane prepares for takeoff, with the crew feeling tense and anxious.

Dating to 1960 and produced by Owen Murphy Production on behalf of Bell Telephone, "The Conquest of Light" is a film about lasers. Made only three years after Bell Labs created the company's first "coherent light device", this film is about the development and potential of laser technology for communication. It explains how scientists have harnessed light waves, specifically coherent light, to create lasers. These lasers can generate a powerful, precisely controlled beam of light, which has numerous applications, including high-capacity communication systems, scientific research, and medical procedures. The film also highlights the historical context of laser development and its future possibilities in various fields. Note: at this stage, the laser was still in its infancy, and its uses were mostly speculative. The laser, or "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation," would later be applied to fiber optics, communications, surgery, manufacturing, and even space exploration. The film was written by Marc Siegel, with music by Bernardo Segall, photography by Michael Livesey, art by Ted Lowry, narration by Norman Rose, and directed by Paul Cohen.

Advantages of AC Welding, presented by Westinghouse and produced by B.K. Blake Productions, is a short film from 1951 promoting the advantages of AC output welding. The film opens with a shot of welding equipment (00:22) and men welding (01:14) as the narrator reviews the ability to weld all kinds of steel with AC welding. AC welding allows for high quality work whether it is vertical welding (01:45), overhead welding, horizontal welding, or flat welding. AC welding accommodates light and heavy fabrication, interior and exterior construction, and many other welding operation needs. According to the film, there are six main advantages to AC welding. The first is the virtual elimination of arc blow (02:48). The film shows the absence of arc blow while welding heavy plates together (03:38), and what arc blow looks like (04:04). The second is faster welding. A man welds a massive piece of steel (05:22). Someone using DC welding (06:02) must do a number of things that take up time. With an AC welder (06:37), jobs go much faster, such as at Lukenweld Inc. in Coatesville, PA (06:57) and Penn Boiler and Burner in Lancaster, PA (07:23), where AC welding is much faster than DC welding. The third reason is AC welding provides high weld quality (07:48). Smooth welds both internally and externally are achieved. Arc blow impairs welding, such as arc draft (08:33), leading to “plastered” weld metal. Poor quality DC weld is eliminated with the switch to AC welding. Slow motion arc pictures taken with a special camera at the Reed-Avery Company at Dundalk, MA (09:21) show arc with AC welding. The fourth is ease of operation—a modern AC welder simply needs to connect to the welder (10:20), set the ampage, strike ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/aaea4669-feb3-46aa-8afd-a46782b3a0de/3e971f88-7517-4e37-8e04-1aaec842e2b4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/n77k6N5FGN1i6tEenNLF6y</video:player_loc><video:duration>1100</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T09:05:33.224Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tiRbV4WUcLuaFeqotyTEab</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3ced4946-0adb-4c00-b0bf-f73341caef64.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA STS-9 MISSION ” 1983 NASA DOCUMENTARY   XD83885</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Jones was an American amateur golfer and lawyer. He was considered to be one of the most influential characters in the golf world as he helped to form the Masters Tournament and the Augusta National Golf Club.

Bobby first appears in a white button down and smart tie at (:11). He demonstrates the overlapping Vardon Grip (:48). The film captures his swing (1:14) noting his hip leads the downward stroke. Dotted lines trace the path of the club (2:13) to note something known as a ‘loop’ in his movement (2:13).

The film notes a book by the golfer; “Down the Fairway” (6:29) published in 1927. The book is partly memoir, partly instructional and part golf history and was widely received. He displays his pet bunker shot (6:42) with heels in the sand. Slow motion footage follows (6:53). The camera traces the ball near the hole (7:21); spectators line the background. Putting was to be one of Bobby’s strongest points. He demonstrates this (7:44) with a small grin. Bobby negotiates a stymie (8:51) sliding past another ball to sink his own.

This 1961 color home movie shows landmarks and attractions from an unknown Black / African American family's trip to California. Amateur films showing the Black experience are somewhat rare, owing to the high cost of camera equipment and film processing, which made home movies out of reach of many minority families. As such this film is considered a rarity. 

The film begins with a trainer working with seals at Marineland of the Pacific, an oceanarium and tourist attraction in Los Angeles County, California (0:30). It was later bought by SeaWorld in 1986. Sea lions balance a white ball on their noses and perform various tricks for a crowd, including jumping through a flaming hoop (2:24).  Dolphins and a whale jump twist and jump (3:11).

This extraordinary silent home movie was rescued by collector George Mihal of California. It has portions that appear to date to 1934-35, and some parts that appear to be from as early as 1929 (dates based on Kodak edge codes) and was shot by someone named "PJ" who chronicled his trip Out West. The film begins with images of an Indian cliff dwelling, likely at Tonto National Monument in Arizona near Payson. At :35 the film moves to Tombstone, Arizona, where the annual "Helldorado Days" festivities are underway. According to Mihal, it features several important personalities. First is John Philip Clum, the first mayor of Tombstone and founder of The Tombstone Epitaph newspaper. Also present is William Billy Breckenridge who served as deputy sheriff under famed Sheriff John Behan. At 2:01 the Crystal Palace in Tombstone is shown as a parade winds along Fremont Street. A stagecoach, Civil War soldiers and cowboys on horseback are shown along with a parade of covered wagons. At 2:08 a re-enactor draws his gun while at 3:06 crowds thrill to a mock stagecoach hold-up. At 2:41 a banner proclaims "Helldorado".  At 3:00 the Birdcage Theater is shown. At 3:10 is footage of unidentified members of the San Carlos Apache tribe.

Dating to September 2–5, 1939, this silent home movie shows the National Air Races in Cleveland, Ohio. Also known as Pulitzer Trophy Races, the NAR are a series of pylon and cross-country races that have taken place in the United States since 1920. The 1939 races were significant in that they were the last of the National Air Races to be held before World War II. This film was amateur shot and not that impressive technically, but it does show Col. Roscoe Turner receiving the Thompson Trophy at 2:05. The woman visible at 2:39 in the film is likely aviatrix Jackie Cochran.

This 1950-1951 Kodachrome home movie shows baby photos of a young girl playing and with family. Obviously it shows at least two years in the life of this young girl, a member of the "Baby Boomer" generation. It starts with her crawling in early 1950 and progresses to the point where she receives a tricycle for Christmas, 1951. Various scenes include girl in her crib, climbing over the side, riding on a red hobby horse or spring-loaded horse riding toy, her father or a friend of the family lifting her up over his head and dropping her between his open legs, Christmas day with presents being opened.

 The film begins with a baby girl dressed in white crawling around on a red carpet as sunlight hits her (0:27). She pulls to standing on a green armchair, and a dog approaches her. She crumples a piece of newspaper and sticks it in her mouth (1:22). Someone covers her with a yellow blanket and tickles her stomach (2:06). Laying down, she sucks on a bottle and plays with her white shoes (2:24). A red-haired woman dressed in black with red lipstick holds the baby; they are outside in front of a brick wall (2:30). The dog from earlier comes up and they pet it. A man in a fedora holds the baby (3:27). The baby in a crib and bouncy seat; she claps her hands (4:20) and bounces. She crawls on a yellow blanket with red leaves in her crib (6:22). A cardboard sign: “Jan. 7, 1950” (6:40); the baby crawls across the rug and a man in a suit entices her with a pencil. Another cardboard sign: “Feb. 26, 1950.” (7:22). The girl walks around a kitchen and her crib, and rocks in the bouncer. “Mar. 4 1950” (8:42). The woman, in a fur coat, and the girl, dressed in pink, walk outside on the sidewalk.

American Tempo is an industrial documentary detailing the manufacture of General Electric’s Mazda lamps and various other light bulbs.The film opens with multiple exposures showing machine and man whirling together, bars of the song “America” are heard mixed in with stirring stock music.  Titles dissolve to shots of shipyards, factories and railroads as narration pronounces the USA the leading industrial nation: “Make it better, make it cheaper, make it faster, that is the American tempo.”  Assuming a low-angle view alla Soviet Cinema, a parade of workers stroll in front of a factory (1:01).  A new movement of Eisensteinian montage follows with industrial machinery and workers in action set to the beat of classical music.  The narrator builds a case for the importance of light to promote efficiency and safety, finishing with machines of war—tanks, bombers, and battleships.  The film cuts to a studio movie set in order to show the difference proper lighting can make on the clarity and impact of the object lit, the example a vase of flowers (3:34). The scene shifts to G.E. laboratories in Nela Park, Cleveland Ohio (4:11), dissolving to workshop interiors containing equipment for lamp testing and manufacture (4:48).  An animated diagram shows the evolution of G.E. Mazda bulbs, cost and efficiency from 1907-1940 (5:07). The parts of incandescent bulbs are described through a short piece of animation (5:43). Raw materials are discussed— mines, factories and chemical plants are shown.  A machine that “turns out many thousands of glass bulbs every hour” is shown (7:08) and contrasted to lamps being blown by hand (7:24). Flare and filament construction are detailed, the filament referred to as “the...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5474a4c9-4fbd-4320-a308-8005b7c8b863/843f3a7d-a0ea-4489-b5db-258f26f332a8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bqSXP666V7hAmNQoGJytSB</video:player_loc><video:duration>1430</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T09:35:20.636Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mzdJ8ddyLfemZMP16UQdHM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d49b5b67-7314-43da-ba91-30fbf7d4385f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BELL &amp; HOWELL FILMOSOUND 202 PROMO FILM  16mm MOVIE PROJECTOR w/ MAGNETIC SOUNDTRACK  GG45075</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Here are two films about the Bell &amp; Howell Filmosound 202 projector. The first is a training film used to instruct new owners in the operation of the machine, and by sales people to show interested customers the ease of operation of the projector. The second film starting at 1:40 is entitled, "The Show Must Go On". It compares the new Filmosound 202 with the kind of projectors used in modern cinemas, suggesting that it will provide steady, trouble free operation and keep audiences entertained and happy. 

The Bell &amp; Howell Filmosound 202 projector was an innovative 16-millimeter optical magnetic motion picture sound projector produced from 1952-1955. The projector used a thin magnetic stripe on the 16mm film to record and playback sound. This stripe could be added using a special striping machine that a person could buy, or at a Bell &amp; Howell laboratory. The magnetic striping was far cheaper than a conventional "optical track" which had to be created through a much more complex process. If properly recorded, it also had better fidelity than an optical track.

0:29 - 1:26: "Bell &amp; Howell Practice Film for the Filmosound 202". This brief film provides instructions on adding a magnetic soundtrack to a 16mm film with an existing optical soundtrack, including setting up the projector and microphone for recording.

1:46: "The Show Must Go On", a film within a film. Reflection on the early days of motion pictures and the simplicity of watching movies in the past. A woman accompanies a film on the piano in a nickelodeon type movie theater. "Ladies Must Remove Hats" sign in a silent movie theater, and the projectionist has a problem keeping a movie from "rolling" through the projector -- leading to a ti...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a69a2913-dd39-4db2-8ec7-583fb7cbbe87/531ee56a-e5ce-4b80-b9a9-c150b18ba85f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mzdJ8ddyLfemZMP16UQdHM</video:player_loc><video:duration>1389</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T09:38:15.031Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/86MQbXwDeYUGzk9LmWqomE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6e904280-cc19-426f-b5b4-96307967775d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" SPACE SHUTTLE: MISSION TO THE FUTURE "  NASA DOCUMENTARY w/ JAMES DOOHAN  STS-1 COLUMBIA   67245</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

“Change By Design” is a circa 1974 color film that discusses the automobile industry’s need to design automobiles that are not only good looking but also safe. The film opens in the design center of the Ford Motor Company, where we are told engineers are already embracing a “new era” of design that stresses driver safety. At mark 02:10, a reporter sits down with Ford’s director of safety design to discuss the federal government’s increased involvement in automobile safety and new safety standards. Cameras follow workers through a plant while it is explained how those standards resulted in redesigning several aspects of automobile models for better sight lines (including the possible inclusion of a “periscope” on top of a car, shown at mark 04:10). Back to the interview, Ford’s safety design director tries to explain that the company had always tried to balance safety and design — even without federal government involvement — as well as creating designs that are attractive and functional as the camera pans across the massive dashboard and instrument panel of one model. Additional safety measures are discussed as at mark 08:45 we witness a series of tests using crash-test dummies at Ford’s automotive safety research center. Among the devices undergoing extensive testing, we are told at mark 09:28, is the airbag, “an innovation which the industry has viewed with some skepticism.” Innovations in seatbelt safety is discussed at mark 11:00 at researchers are shown engaged in conversation around drawing boards. “Is it fair to force a man to wear  a seatbelt or a safety harness? To say you must wear it. What if a man doesn’t want to? Isn’t that a violation of his Constitutional rights?,” the reporter...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9774d1a9-10ee-49c7-bf02-5b448657f309/35e54368-ec8c-465a-88cf-967d2e7ced84-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jGK7QnQn5BqHAx9jnU7XNi</video:player_loc><video:duration>1652</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T09:53:52.718Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/i7XMrBeevj8LVNn6gsduMF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/27233664-f043-4dfb-8e16-7d09395e9e87.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PARIS 1900 EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE  WORLD'S FAIR  LIBRARY OF CONGRESS PAPER PRINTS    GG43925</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This silent black-and-white film presents a compilation of archival footage documenting Paris at the turn of the century, during the 1900 Exposition Universelle. The footage, originally captured by the Biograph Company (1895-1916) and Thomas Edison’s team in 1904, includes scenes of iconic Parisian sites such as Place de la Concorde, the River Seine, the Eiffel Tower, and the Champs-Élysées. Edison, intrigued by the Exposition’s moving walkway, "Rue de l'Avenir," dispatched producer James Henry White to capture the event, resulting in many of the film’s featured scenes. Restored from the Library of Congress Paper Film Collection, this footage was selected for preservation in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' film archives. 

The 1900 Exposition Universelle, held from April 14 to November 12, celebrated the technological and cultural achievements of the century while showcasing future innovations. The expo was held at the esplanade of Les Invalides, the Champ de Mars, the Trocadéro and at the banks of the Seine

This silent gun camera footage dates to 1944 and was shot by members of the VIII Fighter Command. This film was one of roughly 20 retrieved from longterm storage from a garage in Georgia. They were discovered in wooden crate that was originally sent to Army Air Force Intelligence in New York City.The first film shown at :16 shows Lt. H.W. Elin of the 84th Squadron, 78th Fighter Group. The aircraft used here was likely a P-47 Thunderbolt, as it dates to August 3, 1944 (In December of that same year the 78th converted to P-51 Mustangs). What you see in this film, roughly eight weeks after D-Day, are a series of air superiority missions against German supply lines including trains.At :50, Lt. P.J. McKenney's run from the same day is shown. At 1:08 he flies above a stopped steam locomotive. At 1:26, Lt. J.J. Myler strikes a train, hitting the locomotive and cars. Other members of the group have similar footage, with trains being struck repeatedly. Look closely you can see tracer bullets in use.At 3:38 the date is now August 4th and you're seeing Major Hoey of the 353rd Fighter Group, followed by Lt. Colonel Bailey. Again the attacks are related to air superiority, striking ground targets. At 5:35 an enemy aircraft is fired upon by Lt. Aal, and it appears he scores several hits. Apparently this particular footage was shot by Olger I Aal who, according to the American Air Museum in Britain website, was posthumously awarded the Air Medal with 3 oak leaf clusters, the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Purple Heart. He was killed in action over Brussels on August 24th, 1944 -- 20 days after this mission. He was from North Dakota and only 21 years old at the time of his death. Another air-to-air...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f02c2873-5a63-4e0c-b3c4-fde7b55e5c39/b82f7d64-0ffe-46f2-bbdb-1c68ff8d4907-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vE8UFezXvaMrkpnQcb6A3V</video:player_loc><video:duration>704</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T09:54:42.666Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/juuAjXXhU4cRBRuSPUcM4X</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/34d0d4ee-9ae8-4de4-b46a-501448f48993.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1949 HOME FILM      TRIP FROM PARIS, FRANCE TO NEW YORK CITY ON LINER  RMS QUEEN ELIZABETH GG11125b</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Shot in 1949, just a few years after the end of World War II, the film features footage of iconic sites across Paris, such as the Grand Palais, Panthéon, and Eiffel Tower, in addition to the Western suburb of Versailles, home to the former royal residence of Queen Marie Antoinette and the “Sun King,” King Louis XIV. The film culminates in New York City Harbor at Cunard White Star Line’s dock at Pier 90 after a journey across the Atlantic on the RMS Queen Elizabeth.

This 1933 Technicolor film from Wilding Picture Productions, Inc. gives viewers a look at the 1933-1934 World’s Fair in Chicago, IL and doubles as an advertising piece for the Chrysler Corporation. The film opens with a shot of the fairgrounds. People walk through the park. Viewers see the Avenue of Flags (01:04), the Hall of Science across the lagoon, the Chrysler Motors Building (01:46; 05:57), and several of the international architecture buildings (Italy, China). A tower of the Sky Ride looms above the grounds (02:50); the transporter bridge moves the “rocket cars,” cable-car gondolas, across the lagoon. Men (possibly mounted Chicago policemen) ride horses down one of the main avenues of the fair (03:25). People walk through the European bazaars. Visitors ride a rollercoaster. Viewers see Admiral Richard Byrd’s flagship City of New York on display (04:52). There is a good panoramic shot of the fairgrounds. The film shows several buildings, including the Travel and Transport Building (05:35). Next to it is Chrysler’s Test Track (06:14). Cars are run through the proving ground track as viewers watch. Racecar driver and daredevil Harry Hart climbs into a Plymouth and races around the proving track. He stops the car and waves to the crowd. Two men climb into two cars (which also appear to be Plymouths), and they race across the dirt off-road section of the course (08:30). One of the cars flips over and it appears that water or gasoline leaks out. Men help tip the car upright and the driver starts racing the car again. The film concludes with the cars racing on the track.A Century of Progress International Exposition was a World's Fair registered under the Bureau International des Expositions ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bff16ecf-cf64-4875-bd29-9808928dc407/5c65e9a5-3d7e-4772-8f2b-4aaf4c01241c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pGHnfbwCoQMQm2WpkEudwK</video:player_loc><video:duration>678</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T09:56:18.665Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hZiZ9XDNhNUdpobnmxETdp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2f4063d9-260e-447c-95ff-894122e51eb3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1951 HOME MOVIE    PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD FERRIES ON DELAWARE RIVER  PHILADELPHIA / CAMDEN  MD10565</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Shot by an unknown cameraman, this silent home movie footage (circa 1951) shows Pennsylvania Railroad ferries operating on the Delaware River, with the Benjamin Franklin Bridge (formerly the Delaware River Bridge) in the background. The Pennsylvania had substantial operations on both sides of the Delaware River between Philadelphia and Camden, New Jersey. This footage was shot from the Philly side of the river, and the large buildings visible in some shots are the RCA Corporation and Campbells Soup plant. The New Jersey terminal was known as the Pennsylvania Railroad Federal Street Ferry Terminal aka Camden Ferry House; it closed in 1952 when ferry service was terminated and was replaced with the NJ State Aquarium. The Philadelphia side building was the Philadelphia Ferry Terminal - Market Street Wharf. At :28 the ferry Haddonfield is shown, followed at 1:45 by the Millville. At 4:31, the tugboat Mercury is shown. The tug is similar to the Jupiter, which remains in Philadelphia to this day, as part of the Penn's Landing exhibits. At 5:37 a B&amp;O Railroad ferry, probably based in Wilmington, moves past carrying rail cars. Another tug the Coontz is seen at 6:10.

This silent, untitled, color amateur-style home film takes the viewer on a trip through Las Vegas, Disneyland, and San Francisco during the 1950s -- probably 1955 based on the signage. Considered Las Vegas’ “heyday,” the 1950s was a time of considerable change for the city, as the population grew considerably and over 8 million people were visiting the casinos and late-night shows. The film depicts the frenetic energy of Vegas, with bright light displays for casinos and saloons from the Pioneer Club to Sahara Casino. The film briefly depicts Anaheim’s Disneyland before taking the viewer to San Francisco, where the footage emphasizes the public transportation in the city, featuring many clips of the SF Muni cable cars including the famous turntable on Powell Street. Also featured are Alcatraz Island and the well-known Fisherman’s Wharf.

This 1960s film from the American Radio Relay League gives viewers a look at the “wide world” of amateur radio, also known as ham radio, a “popular hobby and service that brings people, electronics and communication together.” The film opens with Enrique Garcia on the phone in his office in Ensenada, Mexico, checking to see if lunch is ready. He leaves his wholesale grocery store and goes to his home for his lunch break to eat and operate his radio. He walks into his home, which has a large tri-bander radio antenna in front of it. He sits down at his “shack” and communicates with other hams. A high school student from Woodland Hills, CA named Matt strings up an inverted radio antenna (01:08). A woman named Sharon climbs into her convertible in Arizona and tunes in her mobile radio (01:34). Matt and Enrique speak on their radios. Sharon radios Enrique while she drives (04:44). Matt and his radio club meet on a hilltop to test a radio antenna (05:05). They fire up a generator and work with their home-built radios. A young man prepares for his novice test using Morse code. Hams all over the country fire up their gear for a field day, organized by the American Radio Relay League (08:22). People try to talk to as many stations as possible in one weekend. A man looks on a map while coordinating fighting a forest fire (09:10). There is an aerial view of a California forest fire (10:07). The film shows old footage of the harbor in Valdez, Alaska, where the water recedes right before a tidal wave hits (10:40).

This untitled, silent, black-and-white home-style film captures what appears to be a gathering or awards ceremony for various Civil Air Patrol squadrons and the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary in California. Filmed sometime in the 1950s, owing to the vehicles and planes depicted, the film largely takes place in and around an unknown airfield in a rural area, although at least one portion of it (after 13 minutes) may have been filmed in Santa Monica, California. The plane features clips of various military vehicles and aircraft such as a Sikorsky H-19B Chickasaw, 1953 Dodge M43 3/4-ton Ambulance, and Cessna 140 among others. 

 The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is a nonprofit organization established in 1941 that serves as the official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, providing emergency services, youth development, and aerospace education. In the 1950s, CAP transitioned from its World War II origins to focus on domestic missions, including search and rescue, disaster relief, and support for law enforcement. The organization also emphasized youth development through its Cadet Program, promoting leadership and aerospace education among young people. Additionally, CAP played a role in national security during the Cold War, solidifying its position as an important community service and emergency response organization.

“World War I / The U.S. Enters the Conflict: American Participation and the Aftermath” (released circa 1930) is a black-and-white, silent newsreel film chronicling, as the title suggests, America’s participation in the war and the months following its end. It also contains a segment showing the 10th anniversary of the end of the war as commemorated in Paris in 1928. This was the third installment of a series on the topic. The film combines various archival newsreel footage to piece together a narrative of America’s participation in the war from battle scenes to the moment of joy when a battalion receives a telegram alerting them of victory. The film then goes on to feature shots of soldiers returning home, armistice parades in major cities across the world, and the redrawing of European territories before ending with footage from the American Legion’s visit to Paris. Film opens, text page introducing film (0:26). “American preparations for entry in war,” crowds gather outside of armory to watch procession of soldiers, marching band streaming out of armory door  (0:49).

This silent, color home-style film from 1944 was likely shot by an American soldier stationed there during WWII. The film offers a vivid snapshot of life in Delhi, India, showcasing the juxtaposition of traditional agrarian practices and urban modernization. It begins with scenes of rural farmland, featuring an ox-drawn water wheel, before transitioning to a mid-century travel magazine that highlights India's rich culture and heritage. The film captures the bustling city life, where oxen share the roads with automobiles, and showcases diverse aspects of Delhi, including the iconic Jama Masjid, a Muslim funeral procession, and the Delhi Race Club, where crowds gather to watch horse racing. The film portrays Delhi during a particularly transformative period in the city and India’s history, as the urban landscape of Delhi was evolving with the construction of new government buildings and infrastructure. Still a British colony at the time, India played an important role in Britain’s military strategy during World War II. Today, Delhi acts as India’s capital territory and is a massive city in the country’s north.

This 1956 Chevrolet promotional film shows events in September, 1955 as the 1956 Chevy Belair races up Pike's Peak in Colorado. The car was equipped with a new V-8 engine that would be released in the 1956 model line. None other then Zora Arkus-Duntov was at the helm of a well camouflaged Chevrolet Belair and Bill France of Nascar fame was present with his timing crew. At 1:20 the film flashes back to 1954 as the prototype car is initially tested at a proving grounds. At 1:49 the car makes a jump and crashes into another vehicle to prove its structural integrity. At 2:00 it pulls 16 other cars from a dead stop. At 2:05 it races in a stock car race at NASCAR. At 2:34 Colorado Springs is shown and the camouflaged Bel Air. At about 3:00 the ascent of Pike's Peak begins.It ends at 6:15 as the electronic timer reveals that the car and driver broke the previous world record by more than two minutes!Zora Arkus-Duntov (December 25, 1909 – April 21, 1996) was a Belgian-born American engineer whose work on the Chevrolet Corvette earned him the nickname "Father of the Corvette." He is sometimes erroneously referred to as the inventor of the Corvette, whereas that title belongs to Harley Earl. He was also a successful racing driver, taking class victories in 1954 and 1955 24 Heures du Mans. The Chevrolet Bel Air was a full-size car produced by Chevrolet for the 1950–1981 model years. Initially only the two door hardtops in the Chevrolet model range were designated with the Bel Air name from 1950 to 1952, as distinct from the Styleline and Fleetline models for the remainder of the range. With the 1953 model year the Bel Air name was changed from a designation for a unique body shape to a premium level o...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fa3626f5-b10d-49ad-89fb-b8da45718257/fd5920d4-ca76-4308-8648-61fda639e88b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wU38Ts5aN2hBeL6U6h3zTV</video:player_loc><video:duration>522</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T10:18:03.695Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fKPrJnwo6gLKzECG7vFvTr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/867ade7e-2f3d-45cb-b42f-1ac61ad913f1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1941 TUCSON, ARIZONA RODEO PARADE &amp; TUCSON RODEO   HOME MOVIE  GG10515</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to 1941, this wonderful, silent home movie shows the Tucson Rodeo Parade and Tucson Rodeo. This event always takes place in February, and is known as the La Fiesta de los Vaqueros. The parade is famous for being the largest non-mechanized parade in the USA, meaning that it is entirely featuring animals and horse-drawn equipment. At the start :08, an announcer holds up a megaphone advertising American-made toys sold at Steinfeld's Department Store, a local business. At :20 the facade of Steinfeld's is visible along Congress Street. At 1:30 the Budweiser Clydesdales pull the famous red beer wagon down the street. At 1:41, a Mexican-American maiden, possibly the Rodeo Queen, is visible in a wagon with a U.S. flag draped nearby. At 2:21, children from the Sunshine School are visible on a float. At 3:06 a cross-dressing rodeo clown saunters down the street. At 3:36 the parade comes to an abrupt end, and well-dressed residents are seen walking off. At 3:49 the Budweiser wagon arrives at the Rodeo Grounds and give a thrilling demonstration at high speed. At 4:48 cowboys move past, carrying a sign advertising the rodeo dance. Scenes at the rodeo follow, including roping and riding. At 7:37, a title card announces "Picnic at Ranch and Swimming Pool."  It's not clear where this ranch was located, but there were several guest ranches in Tucson in this era. At 8:43 a ranch hand or cowboy gives a roping and riding demonstration. At 11:54, a visit to the Circle Z Ranch in Patagonia, where a famous horse named El Sultan resides.  At 12:21, cowboys are seen moving a herd of horses.

Directed by Barrie Smith, produced by Rob McAuley and narrated by Roger Climpson, "Southern Cross Rally" looks at the first Rothmans Southern Cross Rally. This was a major international rally mainly held in the Port Macquarie region of New South Wales, Australia, between 1966 and 1980. The rally attracted many of the world's leading rally drivers and factory teams including Volvo, Mini, Cortina / Ford, Volkswagen and others.

0:24 : A good driver can make the trip from Sydney to Melbourne in around 10 hours, but a rally driver will take longer due to the challenging, unsealed, and vaguely signposted tracks that only locals know. The rally covers 2,500 miles over four days through Victoria and New South Wales.

0:53: Bob Selby Wood, the work superintendent on the Sydney Opera House, is also Australia's top rally director. He is responsible for planning the big international event, ensuring the route is tough yet fair, hard yet reasonable, grueling but safe, and a supreme test of drivers, navigators, and cars.

1:18: The rally director takes to the air to complete the planning. The first Rothmans Southern Cross rally will be no Sunday picnic, with 71 crews entered, including three from overseas and Australia's best. There are also private entries from enthusiastic amateurs.

1:46 : Rick Harris and Fred Logan are two men out to give it a go in their car, reinforced with sump and petrol guards and extra lights. The route is secret until departure, with mountain roads predominating.

2:00: 62-year-old Alec Haywood enters with his elderly MGY Sports car, emphasizing the importance of participation. The BMC Works Mini Coopers are driven by some of the fastest loose surface drivers in the world.

2:21: The rally includes various cars, such as Volvos from Sweden an...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/59720eb2-d503-4276-b081-cd6cff62fd5f/77da14b4-dc29-4a85-bc5d-01314c04e755-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/c3BLHoUuCb1AkLRu8QZYY8</video:player_loc><video:duration>1667</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T10:23:12.208Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/meV6ULwVz1xkmjJhMC3smf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cb51a29e-dd2c-4f05-9ec7-63d1d46ddc6f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ EXPEDITION TO LHASA (EXCERPT)” 1949 TIBET TRAVELOGUE  SHO DUN FESTIVAL NORBULINGKA PALACE GG46615</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This short film from Hughes Aircraft gives viewers a look at the company’s ground laser locator designator (GLLD), the AN/TVQ-2 GLLD. A tank turret swivels as a tank gunner prepares to fire a shell. A forward observer locates a target with a GLLD and the hidden tank is able to fire at the target without firing any spotting rounds (00:48). Viewers see a laser (01:07), key to the development of the GLLD. The film then shows a AN/TVQ-2 Ground Laser Locator Designator (01:30). Two soldiers carry a GLLD and set it up for action. The forward observer uses the device to range on a target, an armored personnel carrier. The observer ranges then notifies his battery. When the round is fired, he pulls the trigger to send infrared pulses on the target for the laser homing munition. Illustrations and basic animation are used to present the several scenarios for GLLD use, including “Conventional Artillery Manual Fire Control” (03:55); “Conventional Artillery Computer Fire Control” (04:25)—GLLD signals a battery to fire on a tank; and Laser-Homing Munitions (05:13). The film shows a 155mm canon-launched projectile (05:55), a Hellfire Missile, the Air Force’s Maverick Missile, and the Marine Corps A-4 Angle Rate Bombing System. The film then covers how a target handoff to an aerial observer works with the GLLD (06:20), using illustrations and basic animations to show the relay of locating from the GLLD to a helicopter’s locating designator. Two soldiers operate a GLLD in the field (06:45). Viewers then see several tests using the AN/TVQ-2. In the “GLLD with TACFIRE Computer” test, a tank is fired on by a three-piece battery (06:54). Next is a test using a GLLD with a cannon-launched guided projectile (07:21); ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2526db6d-2026-440d-be95-6fb8b7ceef5e/cdb2e99d-7dff-470e-9d38-0f0aac76d264-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5A5TG2kNGcF3tgpuLWGqyw</video:player_loc><video:duration>552</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T10:25:20.095Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uxeb7V9LL8ExzTzmcBujvJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/19b70c47-0873-4384-a3e1-1b87e3ac1f8d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" ADVENTURE CALLS " TV SHOW  1965 MOTORCYCLE HARE SCRAMBLE RACE IN MOJAVE DESERT GG44825</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to 1965, this episode of the show "Adventure Calls" is about a motorcycle hare scramble race in the Mojave Desert. It is hosted by Dick Simmons. The hare scramble is a form of off-road motorcycle racing that varies in distance and time, with the riders completing multiple laps around a marked course through rugged natural terrain. The show covers the preparation, marking of the course, and the race itself, which involves 309 riders navigating a challenging 84-mile course. The film highlights the excitement and dangers of the race, the camaraderie among the riders, and the efforts of the Antelope Rambler Motorcycle Club of Palmdale in organizing the event.

This 1960 color film about Jerusalem is part of “The Land of the Bible” series, a Family Films Production. It highlights different religions but makes many references specifically to Jesus. The film opens with a view of Jerusalem from a distance that moves into the stone walls.  A young boy walks down the slope next to a large stone wall. The city on the hill is panned from multiple angles to include the Islamic Dome of the Rock (:14-2:15). Priests walk in a processional, followed by pilgrims carrying candles and torches as they walk to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (Sepulchre). Inside the Church, the candlelit faces of old people and children are shown in prayer (2:16-3:38). The walls surrounding Jerusalem are panned. Young boys run and play on the top of a wall (3:39-4:55). Tourist policemen (the name the boy gives them) tell them to come down, and a uniformed officer dressed in khakis and what looks like a British tropical helmet is shown up-close (4:56-5:23). Two boys play a game trying to crack each other’s hard-boiled egg (5:24-5:59). The boy walks through narrow shadow streets with bursts of light (6:00-6:55). A potter makes a fluted vase on a wheel that is hand-turned using his feet (6:56-7:34). He buys baklava pastries off a large tray from a street vendor (7:35-8:08).  The boy and his friends play a game where they bounce a ball off the wall only using their heads (8:09-8:39). The Via Dolorosa has arches over it (8:40-9:15). The Pool of Siloam still remains in its ancient form (9:16-10:00). People walk through the Damascus Gate. St. Stephen’s Gate is shown (10:01-11:05). The boy walks next to the Wailing Wall, which is made of individual square-cut large stones (11:06-11:35).

This 1960s film might be titled "Can Making Machinery" -- we cannot be sure because the main title is missing. It was likely made to promote E.W. Bliss, a company known for manufacturing high-speed, automated machinery for metal can production. Specifically, the Bliss 1103 scroll shear, the Bliss number 1831 strip feed press, and the Bliss number 603 body maker are designed to efficiently produce large quantities of sanitary cans with precision and minimal material waste. The film describes the process of manufacturing sanitary cans for packaging food and other products. It covers the entire production line, from the initial construction of the can body, top, and bottom, to the high-speed machinery used to produce these cans in large quantities. The process includes trimming and cutting tin sheets, applying protective coatings, forming and soldering the can bodies, and ensuring airtight seals.  The E. W. Bliss Company was founded in 1885 by Eliphalet Williams Bliss. The company at one time was owned by American corporation Gulf and Western Industries before it was consolidated into Bliss Clearing Niagara.

"Wings to Yugoslavia/Travel/Made By Pan Am Kodachrome Color", Kodachrome WINGS TO YUGOSLAVIA is a Pan American promotional travel film from the 1960s, when the nation was part of the Eastern Bloc. The film takes viewers on a tour of Yugoslavia, a land made up of “six republics, five nations, four languages, three religions, two alphabets, and one desire: independence.” The film begins in Belgrade (01:16) with scenic shots of the Sava and Danube Rivers and the airport. Belgrade is a bustling city, its streets lined with outdoor cafes (01:48) and its markets filled with produce (03:02). Tito Museum and the nearby Memorial to the Unknown Soldier (03:21) are popular places to visit in the city. Sarajevo is a city steeped in history; the film shows the Latin Bridge over the Miljacka River (03:42), the location of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria’s assassination, sparking World War I. The film presents footage of Sarajevo’s rooftops (04:00) and markets (04:20), where Muslims, Catholics, and Orthodox mingle. One of the most popular items at the market is the watermelon (04:48). Next is the city of Mostar, with its famed Stari Most, or “Old Bridge” (05:04). Locals jump off the bridge into the Neretva River below (05:04). Arguably the biggest highlight of any trip to Yugoslavia is a visit to the Dalmatian coast (05:55) and the old city of Dubrovnik (06:14; 07:50) with its coastal fortifications and varied architecture (07:12). Beachgoers enjoy the sand and water of Dubrovnik (08:15), and many will visit the magical island of St. Stefan (08:55). Continuing along the Dalmatian coast is the Bay of Kotor (09:56). Tourists can see these sights by taking boat tours out of Dubrovnik’s harbor (10:18).

This is 1967 color, driver's ed film was presented by the Ford Motor Company. The purpose of the movie is to illustrate safe driving techniques at dusk and at night, the importance of headlights and other safety measures to be taken while driving at night. The movie opens with cars driving down the highway – it is light outside. It becomes dark outside. A vehicle approaches over a hill and around the curve with lights in the face of the driver. Lights can be reflected in the rearview mirror. Lights also show the crossing of cars from side roads 1:00. If you are careful and don’t drive too fast, night driving can be safe and pleasant 1:10. Night begins when there is still light in the sky 1:18. It’s a good habit to turn on your lights before sundown 1:25. Dusk or twilight can be one of the most dangerous times to drive if you are not especially alert 1:40. Dark, overcast days can also be dangerous 1:50. Film demonstrates how a car turning its headlights on from far down the road can reduce the risk of an accident 2:24. The dashboard is shown and speed is reduced 2:39. If you drive too fast you can over drive your headlights 2:50. An animation shows the safe distance that headlights can illuminate the road for you. The distance is about 350 feet 2:56. At 60 miles an hour you will cover 350 feet in four seconds. You have 132 feet of reaction time and 180 feet for breaking. This leaves less than 40 feet for last minute reaction time - or less than 1 ½ seconds 3:35. Easing up on the gas pedal at night is the only answer 3:56. Flashers and flares should be used if you have a flat tire or are disabled 4:10. High beams can also be used to create a safer driving environment 4:20.

This customer service training film from Roundtable Productions "I Just Work Here" (1963) was written by Marvin Wald and directed by Leon Gold. The film takes on the opinion that "the customer is always right", and presents a series of dialogues and scenarios illustrating the importance of empathy, understanding, and effective communication in customer service. It includes various interactions in different settings, such as a service company, a library, and a bank. Each scenario highlights the challenges and frustrations customers face and how service representatives can address these issues by being empathetic, understanding, and willing to help.

Troubled Waters is a short documentary film promoting public awareness in regards to water pollution in the USA, especially the Ohio River. The film fades in on a gliding canoe which leads a montage featuring water, “most vital of all man’s resources” in the form of streams, lakes, creeks and oceans.  The montage shifts to shots of water use in early 1960s suburban life, including a little boy drinking tap water, Jell-O being prepared, a man in a pith helmet washing a car.  “Water is the great purifier of the earth,” states narrator Henry Fonda, as the film shows baptisms, hospitals, livestock cleanups, etc.  The montage finishes with actors playing various representatives of small town America as they make declarations about the state of local resources. Music swells with the appearance of the main title, produced in a neat ‘swimming’ 60s font (2:41).   The film cuts to a courtroom featuring a session of the special subcommittee on water pollution within the Senate’s Committee on Public Works—rolling titles list members and representative states as the camera pans across the courtroom.  The scene shifts to the chambers of Senator McNamara who makes some brief remarks regarding water systems (3:45). Another montage spotlights pollutants before cutting to scenes of majestic, ‘nearly unspoiled nature’ (5:25).  A sequence shows waterfront factories emblazoned with various company logos, followed by shots showing individual citizens casually polluting— resulting in rivers of dead fish (6:29).  The Ohio River comes into view as the film’s central focus (7:42).  Pittsburgh’s main industrial water use as a coolant for the slabs of Big Steel is discussed and shown, concluding with the city’s sewage...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dffe4a9f-db5b-455d-be52-2edc945ff0a3/8b747219-75fe-4875-a722-6abcbbd01484-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tEg4NdN9NEqv3vfX3JvcKR</video:player_loc><video:duration>1683</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T10:47:58.402Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4eCFaiHh5onjQ4mCG2xiTj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b845325c-1506-4fb5-b04e-8d42446f9131.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" GREEN HARVEST " 1949 WEYERHAEUSER FOREST MANAGEMENT &amp; LUMBER PRODUCTS PROMO FILM   GG44935</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This short film begins with an ad for the Westinghouse coin operated dry cleaning machine, which was featured in laundromats in the early 1960s.

At 2:00 Barry Cook explains his robot called Prometheus which was powered by a sewing machine motor and directed by coffee machine solenoids. At 2:32, Lewis Haberly discusses his experiment to determine if fish can hear. At 3:09 Donna Hayes discusses atomic energy and shows off her Van De Graaf generator. At 3:32 Mitchell Fruitstone discusses the drug Interferon and its use against herpes simplex. Here's a brief history of this event: While attending the 1939 New York World’s Fair, G. Edward Pendray, a Westinghouse executive, and Watson Davis, director of Science Service (now Society for Science &amp; the Public) began discussing ways to encourage more students to pursue science careers. They decided on a national competition - Westinghouse agreed to provide prize money and cover administrative costs and Science Service took on the task of running it. In 1998, Intel Corporation became the title sponsor of the competition, continuing what has become an American institution designed to encourage young people to pursue careers in science, math, engineering and medicine. In 2016, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals became the next sponsor to carry on the Science Talent Search.

"Everything You Ever Wanted in a 16mm Projector" is an RCA promotional film made for the RCA 1600, probably in the mid-1960s.Yes, everything . . . brilliant pictures, superb sound, simple operation, smooth, safe film handling, instant performance, good looks, light weight, ruggedness — even an automatic threader that never touches the film ! (And if you Ve never wanted an automatic threader the 1600 provides for that as well, because its uniquely safe threader is uniquely optional, too.) The fact is the 1600 is a totally new projector that's loaded with innovations (like the “Safe-Threader”) which make film showing easier and more pleasurable than ever before. It can be effectively used for large audiences, economically used for small ones. Availability of optional accessories enables you to equip the 1600 to meet any viewing need. In addition it is easy and inexpensive to maintain, never requires oiling. The complete projector? Try one soon and see the difference. 1600 design gives you a choice of manual or automatic threading in every model. The “Safe-Threader” is an optional accessory that can be purchased as original equipment or easily installed at a later time by your RCA Audio-Visual Distributor. Automatic threading for the 1600 is the safest yet. RCA “Safe-Threader” whisks the film leader through the film path automatically, and then is disengaged so that it never touches the film. Using the “Safe-Threader” gives you the same control over the film as in a manually threaded machine. It’s the only automatic threader that permits you to unthread and re- thread the film in seconds. One of the nicest things about the 1600 is running it: You cant miss doing a good job, and the...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/16a3b7d1-4e95-4634-a2c3-514913f85f23/4903d7e2-95c9-4f94-9aec-05c11c60fee1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3N9tXT6Gc65UHGQrrw7jQc</video:player_loc><video:duration>631</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T11:06:40.935Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8KmRcDXZ7gZhEVNB9HaMZC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2a9017a2-9341-4a94-b97a-0fdd15d025c2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" PROSPECTS OF IRELAND "  1970 TOURIST TRAVELOGUE   LANDSCAPES, HISTORY, PEOPLE, RECREATION GG44985</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to the late 1970s or early 1980s, these are TV commercials for Ayds Reducing Plan Candy. Ayds was a diet candy that was marketed as an appetite suppressant. It was available in flavors like chocolate, butterscotch, and chocolate mint. The candy was introduced in the United States in the mid-1940s and was discontinued in the late 1980s. Ayds contained phenylpropanolamine, which was designed to suppress hunger and reduce caloric intake.  Ayds was a convenient and tasty way to control weight, and Hollywood celebrities endorsed it in the late 1970s, which increased its popularity. However as the Acquired Immune Deficiency or AIDS epidemic emerged in the 1980s, the weight-loss product's similar name caused consternation and eventually, the product line was abandoned.

This short commercial from 1960 promotes "strict law enforcement" especially when it comes to traffic safety. The point of the "slideshow" type ad is that drivers kill and injure more children than any disease. The commercial was part of a print, radio and TV ad campaign sponsored by the Advertising Council and the National Safety Council.  A print ad from the same campaign reads: "Careless drivers kill more children than pneumonia, cancer, polio, congenital malformation, or any other cause. Drivers kill and cripple more children than any major disease. You've helped fight cancer, polio, other dreadful diseases. Now recognize the giant killer—traffic accidents! Fight it. Write your local enforcement officials. Say: I support strict law enforcement. Let them know you are behind their efforts to protect your children. For wherever traffic laws are strictly obeyed and enforced, deaths go down! Your community can be another to prove it!"

This film "Friends in Need" dates to 1945 and was produced by Alan Field and the National Film Board of Canada in cooperation with the Canadian Allied Relief Fund. The film is a plea to Canadians to help provide textiles and much-needed clothing for those left destitute, homeless, ragged, and hungry by World War II. The film describes the severe aftermath of war in Europe, focusing on the town of West Capel in Holland and the broader struggles of European people who are bewildered, ragged, hungry, and cold. Agencies are concerned about malnutrition, tuberculosis, and other diseases, but resources are scarce. Despite the absence of fighting, the struggle to survive continues, with children eating hungrily and attending school in poor conditions. In North America, people are donating old clothing, and volunteers are working to collect, pack, and ship these items to Europe. Dock workers and sailors transport the clothing to help Europe and China face the threat of winter. Harbors are repaired to distribute aid based on need. The film highlights severe shortages in Greece, Poland, Belgium, Holland, and Yugoslavia, where people lack basic clothing and shelter. Personal stories emphasize the importance of even the smallest items of clothing. The text concludes by stressing the need for health as the foundation for rebuilding lives and achieving lasting peace, with clothing, shoes, and bedding being critical to improving health and starting the world on the path to peace.

Dating to 1953, this film "Pictorial Sketching" was part of a series produced, and correlated with, the book "Engineering Drawing" by Thomas French and Charles Vierck. The film emphasizes the importance of engineers learning to sketch pictorially, as it allows ideas to be recorded visually and used as a basis for orthographic drawings. Pictorial sketches, done freehand, require a good sense of proportion and can clarify orthographic views. The three methods of pictorial sketching are axonometric, oblique, and perspective. Axonometric sketching, particularly the isometric position, helps reduce distortion and is suitable for rectangular objects. Techniques for foreshortening and converging lines are discussed, along with drawing ellipses for circles. Oblique sketching is useful for objects with irregular features, preserving true shapes. Perspective sketching provides a better effect but requires knowledge of perspective principles. The film outlines a procedure for sketching, including visualizing the object, selecting the best point of view, drawing axes, blocking in outlines, and completing details while checking for errors and removing unnecessary construction lines.

This Rembrandt Films release from 1957 titled “The Towers” is produced by Antonio M. Vellani and directed and photographed by William Hale. The film tells the story of Simon Rodia and the impressive structure that he built in the Watts enclave adjacent to Los Angeles, known as the "Watts Towers".  Sabato ("Simon" or "Sam") Rodia (1879/1980 -- 1965) was born and raised in Serino, Italy where he was exposed to a tradition of the festival season where large Gigli (wooden obelisks sometime measuring 25 meters in height) are carried in a procession. In 1895, aged fifteen, Rodia emigrated to the USA with his brother, and settled in Watts in 1920. Rodia began construction around his home in 1921. This grew into the Watts Towers (or Towers of Simon Rodia), an impressive collection of 17 interconnected sculptural towers, architectural structures, and individual sculptural features and mosaics. Most are constructed from steel rebar and Rodia's own concoction of a type of concrete, wrapped with wire mesh and embedded with pieces of salvaged porcelain, tile, glass and other items. Some parts of the property resemble a church or cathedral, and from at least one vantage point the site resembles a sailing ship. After Rodia's death, the Towers were threatened with destruction but saved after surviving a structural integrity test; the Towers remain open to the public to this day and are a popular tourist attraction.

Dating to 1971, "Industry Goes Metric" is about the transition from the Imperial system of measurement to the metric system in British industry. The film discusses the reasons for this change, such as reducing complexity and aligning with global standards to improve trade. It also highlights the benefits of metrication. It provides examples of how different sectors and companies are adapting to the metric system. Overall, it emphasizes the importance of metrication for the competitiveness of industry. 

This film was an outgrowth of a formal UK government policy to support metrication by 1965. When the UK joined the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1973, the UK had to incorporate  the use of a prescribed  International System of Units (SI) set of units for many purposes within five years.

This silent film entitled “School Tours Around New Jersey” likely dates from the late 1940s and features four schools in Paulsboro, New Jersey. The schools are the Buck Street Grade School, Loudenslacker School, Loudenslager School, and Billingsport School. The film contains footage of the schools, students, teachers, and ordinary school activities such as band performances, and sports games including hockey and American football. One interesting aspect of this film: New Jersey's State Constitution of 1947 codified the desegregation of public schools, and this film contains footage of African American and white students together. They were probably in the first echelon of desegregated schoolmates.

Directed by Paul Cohen, “Wire for Sound” (1962) is a color promotional film produced by Western Electric, the manufacturing and supply arm of the Bell System. The film takes viewers on a journey through the evolution of telephone wires, from molten copper to finely crafted multi-wire bundles. With an original score by American composer Gene Forrell (1915–2005) and cinematography by Michael Livesey (1929–1990), it features detailed scenes from the foundry and factory, showcasing the process of melting copper and transforming it into telephone wires, which are then installed underground by dedicated crews.

This short, silent film (rescued by our friend Jeff Vilencia), shows a hovercraft or ground effect vehicle built by Franklin A. Dobson of Newport Beach, California. It likely dates to the early 1960s, when Dobson's Air Dart caught the attention of Popular Science magazine and became a brief sensation. Dobson went on to found a company called AIRCARS, Inc. and marketed kits and plans for the vehicle which were sold through magazine ads. According to Popular Science July 1963, the complete kit was going to sell for about $700, or one without an engine $500, and plans were going to be a mere $2. It's unclear how many ended up being built, and none appear operational today. The vehicle used chromoly tubing covered with plastic fabric, with a plywood and aluminum cockpit and a two cycle, 10-15 hp engine.

This Western Electric film "The Tyranny of Large Numbers" was directed by produced by Lewis W. Bushnell for Ted Lowry, Inc.  The film is "a report on a new concept of automated manufacturing". It discusses the challenges and advancements in manufacturing highly reliable electronic components, specifically deposited carbon resistors. These were produced in a new and novel way, using a computer to not only control manufacture, but creating a feedback loop for quality control as well. The film highlights the complexity of modern electronic systems, the need for extremely low failure rates, and the limitations of manual manufacturing. To address these issues, engineers at Western Electric developed an automated production line controlled by a computer, which significantly improves the manufacturing process by ensuring higher reliability and faster error detection. Note: carbon resistors are one of the most common types of electronics used. They are made from a solid cylindrical resistor element with embedded wire leads or metal end caps. 

The computer showcased in the film is a  Librascope LGP-30 Computer made by Librascope Company of Glendale, California in 1956. This small, vacuum tube based machine was very popular in its day. The LGP-30 was sold and serviced by the Royal Precision Electronic Computer Company, a joint venture with the Royal McBee division of the Royal Typewriter Company. The computer had a retail price of $47,000, equivalent to $530,000 in 2023.

This Civil Rights era film "Epitaph for Jim Crow" takes a look at what conditions would have to be met, for the "Jim Crow" era to be considered over.  Jim Crow refers to laws that were introduced in the Southern U.S. in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that enforced racial segregation. The film shows the social and cultural role of Black Americans in the USA as the country began to work to recover from slavery; and soon the segregation era. It also attempts to explain the various beliefs surrounding segregation and racism in the South as viewed by the northern civilians. Progress in political and economic development is covered, as well as the unfortunate digression in the South due to a blatant white supremacist culture; and an examination of what must be done to achieve a new reality. 

The film opens with a segregation era sign reading Colored entrance (:09). This film was created with Thomas Pettigrew; the Assistant Professor of Social Psychology (:24). The first chapter details the rise of segregation beginning at the end of slavery. Jim Crow style signs fill the screens (:47). Subversive; though existent, northern racism is discussed (1:12). Imperial Laundry advertises catering to ‘white's only’ (1:19). The origin of the name Jim Crow is explained (1:38). We go to Washington DC, 1868 (1:57) for the case of Kate Brown; an employee of the US Senate. In February she was violently thrown from the all whites train car of the Washington and Alexandria Railway Train (3:17). The jury awarded Kate in her favor, making it a landmark case. The railway would defend themselves on a separate but equal stance 28 years before this idea was made temporarily constitutional. This case focused on the m...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/450892cd-c433-4e76-97d9-899a6bde6a98/3541fe97-6f33-4d92-a012-23e813ad5de1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9wqzW6iWpNM25TLZ4rZuxb</video:player_loc><video:duration>1756</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T12:02:09.053Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mcnDfLUUhnCT1BrbANT2qD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/25f7549f-9ea1-4fa4-b6c0-8401cea4a7d6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" BANFF NATIONAL PARK"  1940s COLOR TRAVELOGUE (SILENT) GG46695</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This U.S. Post Office film serves as an instructional guide on how to safely and efficiently operate the Mailster, aka Westcoaster Mailster. This is a small, lightweight, three-wheel vehicle used for delivering mail in the 1950s and 60s.  The inexpensive vehicles could haul 500 pounds of mail, including large parcels, versus the 35-pound limit of a foot carrier, and once represented one-third of the delivery vehicles used by the USPS. 17,700 were in use by 1966, but primarily only in areas with warm climates and flat terrain. At least seven different companies produced Mailsters, including Cushman. It was eventually replaced by more reliable mail delivery vehicles, such as Jeeps

The film covers various aspects of driving the Mailster, including:

•  Speed Limits: Advising not to exceed 25 mph and to reduce speed in adverse conditions.

•  Loading Mail: Instructions on how to load and secure mail in the vehicle.

•  Vehicle Controls: Detailed descriptions of the controls and how to use them, such as the handbrake, turn signals, and starter.

•  Starting the Engine: Steps for starting the engine correctly, both with the electric and manual starter.

•  Driving Techniques: Tips for getting underway smoothly, using the correct gears, and signaling properly. Don't speed around corners because this is a three wheeled vehicle that can tip over!

•  Braking and Parking: Guidance on using brakes correctly and safe parking techniques.

•  Safety Precautions: Emphasizing the importance of reducing speed on slippery roads, being cautious of pedestrians and children, and using proper signals.

This Cold War era cartoon "Destination Unlimited" was produced by John Sutherland (:10) in association with Film Counselors Inc. (:12). In 1945, Sutherland opened John Sutherland Productions and began pumping out animated films for general use as well as targeted propaganda films. The Cold War era was a highly prolific period for Sutherland as his work caught the eye of Walt Disney. Most of the films delivers a heavy handed pro-industrial message. Films were financed by major corporate entities such as the American Petroleum Industry in order to shape public opinion. This is the second feature created by John Sutherland following the highly successful ‘Destination Earth’ film released in 1956. It features the alien clan under the guidance of a leader called Ogg who has Stalin-like qualities. Leadership of the Ogg people is portrayed as egotistical and fallible. It opens as Ogg the Great's (:51) voice booms over a loudspeaker addressing his fellow green aliens about a rally at Ogg memorial stadium. Bouncing yellow headed aliens cart a banner welcoming Colonel Cosmic past the Ogg Mart Grocery Store and the Ogg Cafe (1:04). Posters of Ogg’s face appear near the Ogg Memorial Stadium (1:31). The mean green authoritarian leader looks over his subjects (1:57); he employs a screen to illicit responses from the dead pan crowd. He introduces Colonel Cosmic (2:27). Cosmic informs the crowd his trip was made possible by ‘Ogg power’ (2:54). An exhausted servant runs on a rat wheel symbolizing the proletariat (3:00). The servant is stabbed with a needle producing higher speeds (3:00).

Dating to 1977, "Some Call it Software" was produced by IBM. The film defines the meaning of 'software' inferring to the programs, flowcharts, and other documents and instructions people must prepare enabling a computer to perform its task. As an illustration, programmers are shown studying traffic problems in a large city and designing a software package for improving traffic flow on two major highways in New York City.  The film features the IBM System/370 (S/370) mainframe computers, which represented the company's primary large mainframe offering from the 1970s through the 1980s.

Summary: The film discusses the relationship between human creativity and technology in the context of music and computing. It starts by explaining how a piano needs human creativity to produce music, which is communicated through musical notations. It then describes the evolution of technology in music, highlighting the player piano, which could play music automatically using machine instructions on scrolls. The film draws a parallel between the player piano and modern computers, explaining how both rely on instructions (software) to perform tasks. It emphasizes the role of programmers, who create software solutions to instruct computers, much like composers create music. An example is given of a programming task to improve traffic flow in New York City, illustrating the process of understanding the problem, designing a plan, and implementing a software solution.

Overall, the text highlights the importance of human creativity and ingenuity in utilizing technology to solve problems and create harmonious solutions.

Airstrike From Anywhere is a short film about the new portable, temporary airstrip capabilities of the U.S. Navy. The film opens with a Lockheed F-104 Starfighter taxing for take-off. The F-104 flies through the air. The film shows the plane’s tail hook. The F-104 lands (00:51) on a temporary runway constructed of interlocking mats manufactured by Harvey Aluminum, Inc. At the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station in El Toro, CA (01:26), F-104s are tested on the short 2,000-foot runway. An aerial view shows the construction of the runway at the test site (02:00). Mats for the runway are laid in a brick-like pattern (02:40). Men adapt an F-104, giving it a tail hook. The F-104 flies through several touch-and-go passes on the newly built runway, then lands (03:50). Men film the test landings (04:08) with high speed cameras. A closeup view of the mats show the minimal damage caused by the landing of an aircraft even heavier than the F-104 (04:45). Men lay the mats down on a muddy surface. The film concludes with more footage of an F-104 landing on the portable airstrip.The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is a single-engine, supersonic interceptor aircraft which later became widely used as an attack aircraft. It was originally developed by Lockheed for the United States Air Force (USAF), but was later produced by several other nations, seeing widespread service outside the United States. One of the Century Series of fighter aircraft, it was operated by the air forces of more than a dozen nations from 1958 to 2004. Its design team was led by Kelly Johnson, who contributed to the development of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, Lockheed U-2, Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, and other Lockheed aircraft.The F-104 set numero...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f742b6f2-8679-4e3d-8be9-55c0b43bde79/19382025-5338-4043-acbc-294e995f4857-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wwUjpH1MyEy9RmvY6iktiK</video:player_loc><video:duration>427</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T12:23:18.620Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pH6ywqK8BbD5T65Dco1a8f</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/10ffbce8-78fe-4dc4-bb32-3c1a205a7ee2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" DEAD OUT " 1950s USDA &amp; U.S. FOREST SERVICE  BRUSH FIRE &amp; FOREST FIRE PREVENTION FILM  RL10085</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Directed by Richard Lyford, "Dead Out" is a forest fire prevention film sponsored by the Forestry Department of the Twelve Southern States and the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Forest Service (:24). It tells the tale of a timber cruiser as he moves through the southeastern states researching wildfires and their causes. (Note: A timber cruiser is in charge of measuring forest stands to determine stand characteristics, to obtain a volume estimation to appraise and prepare timber sales.) Safe brush burning methods are shown. The USDA was formed by an act of Congress in 1905 during Theodore Roosevelt's administration at the peak of the Progressive Era. 
Filmmaker Richard Lyford worked for the First Motion Picture Unit during WWII and later made non-fiction films for Walt Disney, and for industry. He is best known for "The Titan", a portrait of Michelangelo that won an Oscar. 

The areas covered span Virginia to Texas (1:18). A woman works at a well in mountain country (1:44). African American or Black loggers cart sliced wood from the forest fresh cut (1:48).

"The ABC of the Automobile: The Chassis" is a film in a series of auto shop training films produced by General Motors Corporation. This film uses a Chevy Monte Carlo to show off the chassis of a typical American car.

Introducing the Chassis of a Chevrolet Monte Carlo (0:31). A scene showing the engines of the Chevrolet Monte Carlo (0:44). A drawing outlining the mechanics of the Chevrolet (1:02). The narrator suggests that one could hook the crankshaft to a propeller shaft, in order for them to turn together  (1:05). That method will work if there is a way of separating the car from the drivetrain (1:40). The clutch helps achieve that in using two plates held together by springs that act as friction (1:45). When the clutch is disengaged, the crankshaft does not turn the driveshaft (1:56). Clutches can be operated automatically by hydraulic components (2:23). A hydraulic clutch looks like two halves of a donut, each half with a set of blades (2:29). The halves are close together but do not touch (2:34). They are surrounded by a special case filled with fluids (2:41). When you start the car, the fluids move a little between the two halves (2:53). When you speed up the car, the fluid is moved with enough force to move the second half and the drive shaft with it, until the two halves turn together (3:05). In order to move even faster, it needs a transmission which can be automatic or manual (3:37). A transmission is a gearbox (3:44). It has a hood shaft that is turned by the engine and clutch, and an output shaft that turns the drive shaft (3:53). The gear shift changes the ways the various gears turn each other (3:57). In low gear, it takes three times the input shaft to produce one turn of the o...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/46847ff8-9591-4d54-b628-324d3c94ce12/58749d69-3013-4c44-a342-ea0417a64b2c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9H45rLgL4KxtHJ6RHmb3gU</video:player_loc><video:duration>750</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T12:25:57.206Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pGfTTk8HYo6Bkk51Y7hs9Y</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8d4905d2-f66f-43cd-8357-c2a17f6ea521.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1966 STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH BY PRESIDENT LYNDON JOHNSON / REPORT ON VIETNAM WAR  GG45205</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to the 1960s, this silent footage shows a large wildfire and then what appears to be the Los Angeles County Fire Department (or the Forest Service and private contractors) fighting the fire with fixed wing aircraft. The film shows crews breaking open bags of a product called "Firebrake®" and preparing it for air drop. Versions of this product, known as Firebrake® ZB and Firebrake® 500, are still sold to this day. Firebrake is a zinc borate flame retardant product introduced by U.S. Borax in the 1960s, which could be dropped from aircraft to slow the spread of a wildfire. 

Highlights include:

00:00: Images of an intense wildfire and structure fire as seen at night
9:10: bags of Firebrake being processed by ground crew. (Note the dust and the lack of any respiratory safety gear.)
10:30: Grumman TBM Avenger #65 being used as a water dropping aircraft
11:38: a mechanical saw is used to quickly split a bag of Firebrake so that it can be dumped into a hopper and mixed with water, and put aboard an aircraft
12:23: Another TBM marked "08" on the nose is shown.
15:05: hundreds of bags of Firebrake shown in storage.
15:38: Consolidated PBY Flying Boat being used as a water dropping aircraft. 
17:36: PBY flying boat taxis for takeoff
18:00: TBM Avenger makes a water drop / Firebrake drop
19:33: a twin engine aircraft, probably a B-25 Mitchell based on the tail, makes a drop
19:43: a four engined aircraft, probably a Douglas C-54 Skymaster
20:54: a thank you sign from local residents is visible from the air
21:38: an Aetna Insurance Co. helicopter, appears to be an Aérospatiale Alouette II / Republic Aviation Lark conversion

This industrial film "Working Together" from 1951 shows the firm Thompson Aviation Products and its TAPCO plant in Euclid, Ohio. The film is incomplete, in that it is missing the soundtrack, but the movie does give a good overview of the company as it operated in the late 1940s.  Thompson Products became more widely known to the world as TRW. The company was incorporated in Cleveland in  1916. Frederick C. Crawford became president in 1933 and espoused a philosophy of industrial relations which came to be called "Crawfordism". It was antagonistic to outside labor unions and sought to promote internal harmony through management-led education of employees. Thompson's development of an effective replacement-parts system during the 1920s allowed it to survive the Depression, and as a dramatic sales promotion, the company initiated the Thompson Trophy Race in 1929. After Thompson's death in 1933, Crawford took over the firm. To quell unionizing efforts by the CIO through the Natl. Labor Relations Board in the 1930s and 1940s, Crawford fostered the organization of the Automobile &amp; Aircraft Workers of America, a company union. In anticipation of World War II, Thompson Prods., with government funding, built the TAPCO plant in EUCLID in 1941 to increase its production of aircraft engine components. During the period leading up to World War II, through the end of the Korean war, Thompson Products was a key manufacturer of component parts for aircraft engines, including aircraft valves. The TAPCO plant, owned by the US government but operated by Thompson Products, extended for almost a mile along Cleveland's Euclid Avenue. It employed over 16,000 workers at the peak of WW II production. As jet aircraft replaced piston-engined aircraft, Thompson Products became a major manufacturer of turbine blades for jet e...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4971fa4e-2e0c-4dd4-8590-97dd97e19dad/bae83b4e-feb7-4275-8252-ccf76941bab3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/a52e2PE7ouLBFi3cncXuXx</video:player_loc><video:duration>1070</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T12:38:30.794Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ickUg9KTfrnzsJLvyDXjij</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4e12702f-9871-42c4-b3a1-4eb6be175dda.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE STEP BY STEP SWITCH 197 TYPE SELECTORS " 1951 BELL SYSTEM TRAINING FILM  (PART 1) GG45465</video:title><video:description>Join us on Patreon.

This elaborate amateur made film shows some of the activities of Carrier Air Wing 19, and probably dates to Spring of 1946, and was likely shot in San Diego. At the time the wing was apparently preparing for deployment aboard either CV-12 USS Hornet or CV-36 USS Antietam. (In November 1946 CVG-19 was redesignated CVAG-19, so the film definitely predates that month.)  The unit at this time was commanded by A.P. "Scoofer" Coffin aka Albert Peyton Coffin, a WWII hero who was awarded the Navy Cross for “extraordinary heroism” in combat in the Solomon Islands. Scoofer Coffin graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Class of 1934. He retired as a U.S. Navy Rear Admiral.

The aircraft shown in the film include the F8F Bearcat, F4U-4 Corsair, SB2C Vindicator, and TBM Avenger. At the time the film was shot, the commander of the unit was A.P.

Produced by Thor Lovoos and made by Bill Cartwright, Edmund Penney, and Sven Walnum, “Angels Flight” (c.1969) is a color film that offers insight into the lost Los Angeles neighborhood of Bunker Hill. This was a prominent hill that separated the Victorian-era Downtown from the western end of the city. In the late 20th century, the hill was lowered in elevation, and the entire area was redeveloped. The film is named after and prominently shows the operation of the antique Angel's Flight narrow gauge (2' 6") funicular railway with its two cars Sinai and Olivet, the so-called "shortest railway in the world". Originally built and first operated in 1901, the Angel's Flight transported local residents of Bunker Hill up the steep slope. This poetic film represented an effort to shed light on the tragic, and possibly needless, demolition of the historic area of Bunker HIll and its redevelopment. The film shows the last days of the original Angel's Flight. with its trackage along the side of Third Street Tunnel and connecting Hill Street and Olive Street. On Sunday, May 18, 1969, Sinai and Olivet took their last trips on their tracks at the Third Street Tunnel location. In 1996, the Angel's Flight was re-installed half a block south of the original location, mid-block between 3rd and 4th Streets, with tracks connecting Hill Street and California Plaza.

Airstrike From Anywhere is a short film about the new portable, temporary airstrip capabilities of the U.S. Navy. The film opens with a Lockheed F-104 Starfighter taxing for take-off. The F-104 flies through the air. The film shows the plane’s tail hook. The F-104 lands (00:51) on a temporary runway constructed of interlocking mats manufactured by Harvey Aluminum, Inc. At the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station in El Toro, CA (01:26), F-104s are tested on the short 2,000-foot runway. An aerial view shows the construction of the runway at the test site (02:00). Mats for the runway are laid in a brick-like pattern (02:40). Men adapt an F-104, giving it a tail hook. The F-104 flies through several touch-and-go passes on the newly built runway, then lands (03:50). Men film the test landings (04:08) with high speed cameras. A closeup view of the mats show the minimal damage caused by the landing of an aircraft even heavier than the F-104 (04:45). Men lay the mats down on a muddy surface. The film concludes with more footage of an F-104 landing on the portable airstrip.The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is a single-engine, supersonic interceptor aircraft which later became widely used as an attack aircraft. It was originally developed by Lockheed for the United States Air Force (USAF), but was later produced by several other nations, seeing widespread service outside the United States. One of the Century Series of fighter aircraft, it was operated by the air forces of more than a dozen nations from 1958 to 2004. Its design team was led by Kelly Johnson, who contributed to the development of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, Lockheed U-2, Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, and other Lockheed aircraft.The F-104 set numero...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e06bb38a-6d80-4aaf-aec1-f03a47c15829/d06952c2-e4b8-410d-95ec-0d86431e7903-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tHjAPX7SN7Y2GwqYu8D6JZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>419</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T12:57:20.222Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/da9RkiEqgDpg5BC3KXfsQn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/63432ef6-7fab-42d6-8a58-e62204105098.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE DAY THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE "  1964 FALLOUT SHELTER CONSTRUCTION CIVIL DEFENSE FILM  GG12195</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This film from WWII details the Fifth Army and its assault on Anzio in late January, 1944, with hopes of reaching Rome. The Battle of Anzio took place from January 22 (beginning with the Allied amphibious landing known as Operation Shingle) to June 5 (ending with the capture of Rome). The operation was opposed by German forces in the area of Anzio and Nettuno. The operation was initially commanded by Major General John P. Lucas, of the U.S. Army, commanding U.S. VI Corps with the intention being to outflank German forces at the Winter Line and enable an attack on Rome.At mark 0:46, the Fifth Army is seen advancing with tanks and other armor as well as jeeps and trucks. They took this place by under the command of General Mark Clark saying. "We are here to stay. Not one foot of ground will be given up."

It presents a roundtable on the "Face to Face" program discussing the long history of alcohol consumption in France, noting that while a minority abstains, most people drink reasonably. It highlights the negative effects of alcohol, such as dependency and health issues, but also argues that alcohol brings joy and dynamism. Famous individuals who drank alcohol are mentioned, with a debate on whether it contributed to their success or downfall. Louis Pasteur's views on wine are referenced, emphasizing both its health benefits and risks. The societal impact of alcohol, particularly on the working class, and historical efforts to combat alcoholism are discussed. The effectiveness of public information campaigns and legislation is debated, with a focus on the regulation of alcohol during the Vichy government and its continuation post-World War II. Despite regulations, alcohol consumption and related health issues continue to rise, underscoring the need for continued public awareness and education. The film concludes with a call for individual responsibility in managing health and recognizing the dangers of alcohol.

This untitled, color, silent home-style film documents the 62nd Annual Tournament of Roses parade (Rose Parade) and the 37th Annual Rose Bowl Game held on 1 January 1951 in Pasadena, CA. The film shows the floats, bands, and horses featured in the annual parade with its 1951 theme “Joyful Living” in addition to the Rose Bowl Game between the ninth-ranked Michigan Wolverines, champions of the Big Ten Conference, and the California Golden Bears, champions of the Pacific Coast Conference. Michigan ultimately beat the California Golden Bears 14–6.

Pasadena, a city in California, northeast of downtown Los Angeles, has been home to the famous Tournament of Roses parade since its first edition in 1890. The parade was brought about to highlight the flowers in bloom during Southern California’s winter while the rest of the United States was “under snow.” The Rose Parade is produced by the non-profit Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association and includes flower-covered floats, marching bands, and equestrian units. The parade is followed in the afternoon by the Rose Bowl, one of the major bowl games in college football. First held on January 1, 1890, the Rose Parade is watched in person by hundreds of thousands of spectators on the parade route, and is broadcast on multiple television networks in the United States.

This U.S. Army indoctrination film "Military Courtesy" is primarily about the importance of the salute in the military. The modern western salute originated from French knights. This film opens as cadets undergo drill exercises (:13). Attendance is called (:20). Cadets are ordered to fall out for mealtime (:39). Two cadets break off mocking the drill sergeant (:39). The drill sergeant calls the pair as they smoke (1:13). He sends them to his quarters (1:20). He questions them on their behavior; Underhill was witnessed sparking a cigarette for Williams (1:59). He admits to hearing the boys mock him (2:08). The salute is compared to simple courtesies such as opening a door for a peer or sparking another person's cigarette (2:49).

At 6:50, flight training is seen.  The United States Air Force Academy (also known as USAFA or Air Force Academy), is a military academy for officer candidates for the United States Air Force. Its campus is located immediately north of Colorado Springs in El Paso County, Colorado, United States. The Academy's stated mission is "to educate, train, and inspire men and women to become leaders of character, motivated to lead the United States Air Force in service to our nation." It is the youngest of the five United States service academies, having graduated its first class in 1959. Graduates of the Academy's four-year program receive a Bachelor of Science degree, and are commissioned as second lieutenants in the United States Air Force. The Academy is also one of the largest tourist attractions in Colorado, attracting approximately a million visitors each year.Candidates for admission are judged on their academic achievement, demonstrated leadership, athletics and character. To gain admission, candidates must also pass a fitness test, undergo a thorough medical examination, and secure a nomination, which usually comes from the member of Congress in the candidate's home district. Recent incoming classes have had about 1,200 cadets; historically just under 1,000 of those will graduate.Tuition along with room and...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2d1b1948-2aab-4e0f-b3b1-b1f0c4a6010f/97339268-18e9-4802-a903-5dbf9d7969c7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6z429LAp6XsKaEovPMCa4e</video:player_loc><video:duration>543</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T13:20:28.091Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1JwQqyBryB4cTrokPuTj6M</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ec84cf1a-f500-4dab-8284-c0a340eb4007.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1959 SURVEY &amp; CONSTRUCTION OF CAMP CENTURY ARCTIC RESEARCH BASE   GREENLAND  RAW FOOTAGE XD62275</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Likely dating to 1959 or 1960, this raw footage shows what might be survey work performed to finalize a site for, and the early stages of the construction of, Camp Century, an Arctic United States military scientific research base in Greenland. Camp Century was publicized as a demonstration for affordable ice-cap military outposts and a base for scientific research. The film begins with footage of what might be either the Camp Century site, or a supply area set up to support the construction of the facility. At (1:46), personnel muster outside of a red painted trailer that is marked with a sign reading "U.S. Army Signal Corps Weather Station". At 3:57, the metal gantry for a weather station and likely also a radio antenna, is assembled. At (4:20) a long train of trailers on skis is shown, with a large snow tractor, probably a Caterpillar S-D8 arctic dozer, at one end. The large, spherical building shown on skis at (4:30 / 5:28) is a prefabricated arctic research station building. At (4:53) a helicopter buzzes over the tractor train traverse system. At (5:46), a U.S. Air Force Convair C-131 Samaritan is shown at a snowy runway. At (6:30), an airport building with a radar dish on the top is shown; a group of men come out of it and launch a weather balloon. At (7:26), a large assemblage of equipment is shown including some of the tractor train traverse system components such as the research station (7:25). At (8:04) individuals in snow gear are seen moving through white out conditions. At (8:40) a snow depth gauge is used to assess snowfall.

To test designs of new Apollo spacesuits, as well as affiliated equipment, a large neutral buoyancy water tank was employed. This film shows SCUBA divers in the tank wearing Aqua Lungs,  assisting a test subject in a spacesuit, who is attempting to perform simulated assembly tasks. It's unclear exactly what the precise nature of the task was, but it appears that a key part of the test was to see if the subject's feet could be stabilized in a piece of hardware (visible at 7:48). The suit shown is probably either a Mercury Program / Navy Mark IV model or an SPD-143 model. (The suit's peculiar look, with joints and connectors forming an exoskeleton, was to allow an assessment of these parts.)

This film, titled “Cops! Who Needs Them?” from 1973 is a fictionalized educational film, which follows a middle class teenager named Steve, who has a strong mistrust in the police force, but comes to understand a different reality during a ride along with LAPD two officers in search of his stolen Camaro. The film is a Henri Bagdadi production, written and directed by Henri Bagdadi, and photographed and edited by John Mayer, starring Jerry Jones as one of the officers.  It's unclear precisely why this film was made, but based on the time period (Vietnam War era) and subject matter, it appears to be an attempt to show young people that the police were trustworthy and necessary.

"A Trip Through Germany" is a captivating travelogue film that takes viewers on a scenic journey through 1930s Germany, exploring iconic landmarks and hidden treasures that have withstood the test of time. The film avoids political statements and delves into the heart of Germany's rich history and its cultural marvels. It opens with shots of the capitol city Berlin's iconic landmarks, including the Brandenburger Tor, the Reichstag Building, the iconic boulevard Unter den Lindin, and other sights. The film's release or at least the footage it contains seemingly predates 1933, when the Reichstag Building (shown intact at 1:50) was burned by the Nazis as part of Adolf Hitler's plot to consolidate power. However it is not altogether clear, as the burning of the building occurred just weeks after Hitler came into power as Reich Chancellor, and the narration mentions him by name at (2:15). This means that the film probably dates to right about 1933, when Hitler was Chancellor but before he burned the Reichstag.

This early aviation history film appears to be a fragment from a longer documentary about the MacRobertson Trophy Air race of 1934. This race was also known as the "London to Melbourne Centenary Celebrations". The race was formed by Lord Mayor Melbourne, Sir Harold Gengoult Smith. Prize money for the air race was contributed by Sir MacPherson Robertson on the condition the race be named for his confectionary company and that winning pilots be awarded gold medals. It was organized by an Air Race Committee along with representatives from the Australian government. The race began at 6:30 am on October 20th at RAF Mildenhall in East Anglia, England. It ran for 11,300 miles to Flemington racecourse in Melbourne. Five compulsory stops were set along the way. Racers were given the option to choose their own routes. There were minimal rules as well. Much of the footage shows racers in route and stopping at some of the compulsory stops. 

The film opens with a shot of three men atop elephants wading through water (:14) and tromping onto land. Elephant trunks lift barricades 1:06) at a shipping yard. An unidentifiable plane swoops in over water (2:20). Elevations are noted at 3,000 feet (3:32), 7,000 (3:39) 11,000 (3:51) and at 18,000 (4:00). Aerial shots capture the land below (4:16), presumably somewhere near Penang. Coastline shots follow (4:27). A close shot shows merchant vessels near the shoreline (4:39). Small monkeys huddle near the tree line (4:52). A thin man in a sarong humps up a tree (4:59). A hand feeds one of the monkeys (5:18). The man reaches the palms at the top and begins to shimmy his way down (5:33).

This vintage U.S. Army Air Forces training film delivers a peek into military induction and the assessment of cadet trainees during WWII. It shows medical aspects of the induction process for new pilots. It features a film within a film introduced by Major General David NW Grant of the Army Air Force detailing the process of the physical exam for candidates requiring training with the USAAF. The film was prepared under the direction of the Surgeon Army Air Forces (:14). It was supervised and directed by the Commandant (:20) and produced by US Army Air Forces. Major General David N.W. Grant of the USAAF opens the instruction (:42). He discusses new innovations in air flight leading to new record speeds and altitudes (1:19). These innovations added pressure on human physiological capabilities (1:29). He discusses upgrades in equipment and training (2:28) created to combat this. Grant introduces the film, noting the footage was derived at the laboratories of the School of Aviation and Medicine at Randolph Field (3:50). Randolph was first opened in 1931. Candidates wander in the front door of the school (4:14). Their social behaviors and appearances are immediately noted by school personnel (4:21). A close shot shows the specific form type chart used for the exam (4:31). Two candidates are plucked from the line for example (5:38). Smith is called first for his eye exam. The boy trips over an extended ankle on his way in (6:00). The exam begins, common tools such as the BB Loop (6:05) and the Jaeger eye chart (8:18) are employed during the exam. The Howard-Dolman apparatus test is performed (9:16). An animation of the test follows (10:04).

This 1960s color cartoon film produced by Sinclair Refining Company promotes the Sinclair Rapid Charge System credit card to dealers and shows its parts and use. The film begins with a cartoon orchestra playing, and then segues to a map of the United States, highlighting Sinclair customer locations in red. A cartoon Model T-style car pulls up to a Sinclair Gasoline station with the Sinclair H-C logo (1:07). Sinclair was the first U.S. oil company to develop high-octane gasoline, known as H-C, in 1926. A more modern car then pulls up to a 1960s Sinclair H-C service station (1:11). A graphic shows $4 paid by the average credit card customer versus the $2 paid by a cash buyer (1:35). The modern car drives past an ABC Service station (1:47), XYZ Gas (1:48), and stops at a Sinclair service station (1:55). A bagpiper from the orchestra stands next to a Power-X pump (2:01). The same car drives past gas stations with “Cut Prices” and “Discount” signs to stop at a Sinclair station (2:13). A cartoon man in a suit and hat holds a Sinclair credit card next to a man holding 2 dollars (2:24). The inside of the Sinclair station is shown, with tires and a Good Year Tires sign visible (2:42). A screen with the text “SINCLAIR RAPID-CHARGE System” is shown in front of an audience, and a voiceover describes the system parts, including an imprinter, bracket and straps, plastic credit card, metal clipboard, New Form 2056, and dealer name plate (3:12).

Produced by ARCO Film productions, Inc. and Cinema et Publicité, “A Touch of Magic” is a 50s-era color short promotional film directed by Robert Gudin and written by Jean Cerf for the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing company known commonly as 3M.

The 3M Sasheen Decorative Ribbon, a double faced satin ribbon, was released by the company in the 1950s after a failed experiment to create adhesive tape. Nonetheless, upon its release, 3M carved out and paved the way for a totally new gift wrapping industry. 3M Company is an American multinational conglomerate operating in the fields of industry, worker safety, healthcare, and consumer goods.

The historic Chicago Surface Line (:16) presents this silent travelogue of Chicago. The CSL was a predecessor to today’s publicly-owned operator the Chicago Transit Authority, operated from 1913 to 1947.

Dating to the 1930s, this silent film "Speed Power!" promotes Dorfan electric trains. It shows a large Dorfan train set being put together and operated outdoors at the Camp No-Be-Bo-Sco in Hardwick, New Jersey. Aside from the "train race", the movie also shows some of the activities at the camp, so it might also be considered a promo for No-Be-Bo-Sco as well. This includes swimming and diving, and dressing up like Indians (2:00). At (3:58), a Scout takes apart and re-assembles the special Dorfan Take-Apart Engine. The film ends with a great train race, pitting two trains on parallel tracks while the Scouts cheer.

Dorfan was an American toy company based in Newark, New Jersey from 1924 to 1934. The company specialized in O gauge and Wide gauge toy trains. Dorfan produced detailed tinplate rolling stock with diecast power units. Dorfan was the first U.S. train manufacturer to use die casting in its manufacturing process At its peak, Dorfan had about 150 employees, but the Great Depression crippled the company and was not able to recover.

Released by Movie Wonderland, this short film believed to be titled "Iron Ponies" was apparently originally made in the 1940s as a promo for Lionel Corporation to promote their O-scale model railroads.  The movie starts on a snowy Christmas Eve’s night (0:20). A family of four sits around a fireplace adorned with candles (0:25). Father speaks with the son (0:31); Mother reads with the daughter (0:34). After Mother takes the children upstairs for reluctant sleep (0:56), the parents set up the Christmas tree, decorate it, and prepare the gifts beneath it (1:06). The biggest surprise this year will be an electric train set, an Iron Pony (1:20). Once the setup is complete, Father sets the train running (1:38). Older train models were quite different, and included stemwinders, battery-powered models, and the first plug-ins (2:04). The newer train models — those contemporary to this film — look sleeker, and are a reflection of American railroad progress (2:17).

Released in 1944 by Warner Brothers in cooperation with the U.S. Coast Guard, "Task Force" is a Technicolor short film narrated by Jackson Beck.  The film focuses around Coast Guard "Task Force" duty.  Besides operational glimpses, the viewer is treated to a snapshot of the life of a Coast Guardsman on and off duty.  While the film contains much documentary-style footage, some sections of the film are re-enactments and the scenario presented (in which the USCG battles a German U-boat and then lands troops on a Pacific Island) seems somewhat fanciful.   A review of the film when it was released stated that the movie "acquaints the public with the very important role being played by the fourth of Uncle Sam's services.  It is the story of an American invasion fleet going into action on an unnamed battlefront.  The first attack comes after the Coast Guard cutters have sighted the enemy.  All hands are ordered to battle stations.  The U-boats position is fixed, depth bombs are loosened, and the submarine surfaces, the big guns go into action and the U-boat sinks.  Later the Navy sends out reconnaissance planes to meet twenty on-coming enemy aircraft.  Now the ack-ack of the cutter roars defiance.  The destination is reached and the Navy's big guns shell the enemy's fortifications through the day and through the night.  Then comes the landing of the troops…"  

00:00 A large task force, including ships and Coast Guard cutters, is spread out over the ocean, preparing for an invasion.

1938 was a year of crisis for Hollywood, with an on-going recession fueling a decline in theater attendance. The studios also feared that there was a growing public backlash against some of the offerings produced by the industry. One outgrowth of this was "The World is Ours", which was part of a campaign called "Movies Are Your Best Entertainment". The film attempts to show the value of motion pictures to Americans, by showing a family discussing movies. During the film they embark on a vacation to Hollywood, and tour the major studios.  Screenplay by Lou Harris and Herman Hoffman.

Truman Bradley narrates (:42). A family home appears in the night at Middletown (1:37). They debate options for entertainment (1:57); parents nag the children to complete chores in order to enjoy a film night. The older members of the family discuss changes in the movie industry. An article appears (2:10) covering the film industry of the day. The grandfather mentions the first western movie released in 1903 known as ‘The Great Train Robbery (2:34).

This film "Wings for the Ground Commander" promotes the Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knight, a medium-lift tandem-rotor transport helicopter powered by twin turboshaft engines. It was designed by Vertol and manufactured by Boeing Vertol following Vertol's acquisition by Boeing. During 1961, the US Marine Corps (USMC), who had been studying its requirements for a medium-lift, twin-turbine cargo/troop assault helicopter, selected the Model 107M as the basis from which to manufacture a suitable rotorcraft to meet their needs. Known colloquially as the "Phrog" and formally as the "Sea Knight", it was operated across all USMC operational environments between its introduction during the Vietnam War and its frontline retirement during 2014. The Sea Knight provided all-weather, day-or-night assault transport of combat troops, supplies and equipment until it was replaced by the MV-22 Osprey during the 2010s. The USMC also used the helicopter for combat support, search and rescue (SAR), casualty evacuation and Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel (TRAP). The Sea Knight also functioned as the US Navy's standard medium-lift utility helicopter prior to the type being phased out of service in favor of the MH-60S Knighthawk during the early 2000s. The commercial version of the rotorcraft is the BV 107-II, referred to simply as the "Vertol".

The film begins with images of Marines in Vietnam fighting the Viet Cong. They are a hidden enemy. The Marines are fighting a ground and air war. Casualties of war. The American soldiers walk through the jungles and cross rivers looking for the Viet Cong.  The commanders are intent on leading their ground forces to ultimate victory.

Shot by an unknown American tourist sometime in the 1960s, this silent home movie shows a Hawaiian volcano ceremony. The location is not known but most likely it is the Kilauea volcano on Mauna Loa. The native Hawaiian participants wear traditional clothing including in some cases Hawaiian feather helmets, known as mahiole in the Hawaiian language, with feather cloaks

Traditional Hawaiian ceremonies at volcanoes are a way to honor the volcanoes as living beings and to ask for guidance. These ceremonies are a way to show respect and to acknowledge that the welfare of the people and the balance of the Earth's ecology depend on the relationship between humans and volcanoes. 
 
Here are some ways that Native Hawaiians honor volcanoes: 

• Offerings: People make offerings of tobacco, gin, and coins to honor the volcanoes and the natural and spiritual worlds. 
• Chanting: People chant to Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes and fire. 
• Travel: People travel to volcanoes on physical and spiritual trails to communicate with them. 
• Leave markings: People leave markings on the landscape, such as paintings, rock peckings, stone cairns, shrines, and incised stones. 
• Document: People document their relationship with the volcano through songs.  

When a volcano erupts, some people may choose to observe in silence, meditate, or commune with their higher power. Cultural practitioners encourage people to respect those who are chanting, praying, or gathering in ceremonies.

“Airplane Propellers: Principles and Types” is a “restricted” World War II-era US War Department training film produced by the Signal Corps in collaboration with the Chief of the Air Corps. The film opens with a statement at mark 00:44 that “until the days of supersonic speed and jet propulsion of rocketships, the propeller is a relatively efficient method of moving our airplanes through the air.” A propeller size is dependent on the size of the engine, we’re told at mark 01:06, and we learn of the different uses for two-blade, three-blade, and four-blade propellers before being given a detailed tutorial on airfoil principles, including propeller velocity and airplane velocity, starting at mark 02:06. As it continues, the narrator explains the importance of the blade path and an aircraft’s angle of attack, and at mark 06:49 discusses a fixed pitch propeller and looks at the Hamilton Standard constant speed propeller at mark 09:35, and Hamilton hydromatic propellers that are used on larger, twin-engine aircraft (mark 10:35). We explore a Curtiss electric propeller at mark 12:05 before examininglng newer designs (mark 13:13). Various topics are summarized for the viewer starting at mark 14:55. As seen in this film, rapid development of aircraft design in the 1930s required many related innovations, including propeller design. The hydromatic propeller by Hamilton Standard marked a significant advance over the counterweight-type, controllable pitch propeller. It played a distinguished role in allied combat aircraft in World War II. Its continuing development has incorporated many features used on later aircraft, including today's turboprop planes.The hydromatic propeller was designed ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/72a34431-3412-48d0-b6c4-be83cd15ab36/016c4346-c1ed-4a82-8e94-805e8037d832-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fa3Dw9D8zuC2WpMXgUL2Wo</video:player_loc><video:duration>1029</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T14:06:26.126Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/d8BGv7zLtese2KxFpH17sc</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7931a194-70a5-4a06-8c6a-414dc3957320.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ H: THE STORY OF A TEEN AGE DRUG ADDICT ” 1951 ANTI DRUG ADDICTION EDUCATIONAL FILM  XD96055</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

The Silent Service was a documentary style anthology series about the U.S. Navy's submarine fleet and their missions during World War II and the Korean War created by Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers, who retired from the Navy in the late 1940s. Every episode was based on true historical events, with the realism of the show reinforced by the use of actual combat footage from the archives of the United States Navy. This particular episode titled “The Squailfish” is episode 20 from season 1 of the show, which aired Thursday, August 15th, 1957. 

Directed by Jean Yarbrough and written by Antony Ellis, “The Squailfish” featured a cast of actors which included William Tracy, Wright King, Paul Wexler, Frank Gerstle, Stewart Bradley, Wayne Mallory, Sue England, Christian Drake, Zachary A. Charles, Jimmy Murphy, and Sandra “Sandy” Harrison. Together, this crew of actors bring to life the story of two submarines “inescapably linked by fate” - the USS Squalus/ Sailfish and USS Sculpin. The USS Squalus/ Sailfish, after multiple bouts of bad luck, ultimately succumbs to the very ship that once saved it, the USS Sculpin. 

Following an introduction by Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers (0:32), the episode opens to footage of US Sargo-class submarine USS Squalus (SS-192) on May 23rd, 1939 as it heads out to sea for a test dive in the waters off of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Instead of leveling off, the ship dives further and further into the depths of the ocean and becomes a frantic emergency before settling on the bottom (1:52). Still alive, the crew aboard use a smoke rocket to signal to rescue crews that they survived (2:25). Another Sargo-class submarine on patrol nearby, the USS Sculpin (SS-191), spots the flame and sends out an emergency dispatch. Responding to the distress call, the USS Falcon (AM-28) and other ships rush to the scene. A diving bell is attached to the boat...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ff5abaec-d289-4d30-9f24-dc4fe716dfb3/8a672f3d-f0da-401d-be4b-cb48ad022fde-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xwSuH11pyeJcRhmyL5CGEp</video:player_loc><video:duration>1583</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T14:15:59.771Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tztwXrMPigdf8oazzY9LUB</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/72b7e603-8115-4389-bb2d-b308023e5dba.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HUGE thanks to all our amazing YouTube Channel Members!</video:title><video:description>In 2024, we scanned and published over 700 vintage motion picture films on YouTube for the world to see, share and enjoy.

Alcohol awareness is addressed in this substance abuse film, "A Step From the Shadows". It follows the plight of one family as the mother struggles with debilitating alcoholism.

“To Sleep…Perchance to Dream” (1966) is a black-and-white educational film illuminating a series of groundbreaking sleep studies and sleep study experiments conducted at UCLA. The film follows a group of doctors and sleep scientists like Dr. Nathaniel Kleitman (University of Chicago), Dr. William DeMent (Stanford University), and Dr. Anthony Kales (UCLA) among others as they seek to answer different questions such as can science predict exactly when you have a dream? How are we affected physically when we dream? When do we develop the capacity to dream? And what happens when we are deprived of REM sleep? Narrated by Jackson Beck, the film highlights four test subjects ranging in age from a 3-day-old infant to an 84-year-old man as they undergo experiments to answer these questions. The film was produced by Harold Mayer, directed by Arthur Swerdloff, and was written by Lynne Rhodes Mayer. It was made possible from a grant from the National Institute of Mental Health and also worked with consultants Dr. Julius Segal and Gay Gaer Luce.

As his service in Vietnam was coming to an end, U.S. Army combat cameraman David Plenn put a group of 16mm films into a metal box and shipped them back to the USA. These films included both material he'd shot as a cinematographer for the Army, and materials shot by other members of combat camera. The films remained in their box for three decades while Plenn pursued a successful career as a Hollywood cameraman. In the 2000s he donated the films to Periscope Film in hopes of having them preserved and made available to the public. 

This particular film dates to September 1967 and shows a joint Posting the Colors Ceremony between the Thai Army 9th Infantry Division and the US Army 9th Infantry Division based at  Dong Tam Base Camp in Southern Vietnam. The footage includes shots of important personnel including Major General George G. O'Connor and General William Westmoreland as well as ground artillery like the M101A1 Howitzer.

“Radio Set SCR 270: Locating and Reporting Targets” (1949) is a black-and-white military training film produced by the United States Army Signal Corps during World War II. The film details the operation and use of the SCR 270 radio for intercepting enemy aircraft targets. Introduced in 1940, the SCR-270 was one of the first operational early-warning radars. It was the U.S. Army's primary long-distance radar throughout World War II and was deployed around the world. It is also known as the Pearl Harbor Radar, since it was an SCR-270 set that detected the incoming raid about 45 minutes before the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor commenced. The SCR 270 was operated by a team of four corpsmen and consisted of a power truck, operating truck, antenna and transmission line, and azimuth scale. The film also details the operational elements of the radio system including the oscilloscope BC-403-B. 

Established, in 1860, the United States Army Signal Corps is a branch of the United States Army that creates and manages communications and information systems for the command and control of combined arms forces.

This Castle newsreel shows the opening stages of the Battle for the Philippines. The Japanese attacked Manila and the Philippines on December 7, 1941, and caught one of America's great generals, Douglas MacArthur relatively unprepared.  The loss of the American air forces on the ground in the initial attacks, forced the Army to make a quick retreat to the Bataan peninsula and the fortress of Corregidor.  This film shows the early stage of the battle, and was made shortly after MacArthur fled the Philippines for Australia where he would go on to command Allied forces.  The second half of the film profiles this American Caesar, and includes rare footage of MacArthur being decorated by General Pershing in 1918, and serving as the youngest Chief of Staff in 1930.  It also shows him at West Point, and reviewing forces in Germany.  The film's stirring portrait underscores the fact that one of MacArthur's greatest assets beyond military prowess -- was his media savvy.

This extraordinary reel of Kodachrome home movies documents fan trips made by railroad booster clubs in Southern California in the late 1940s. At the time, the steam era was on its way out, and steam locomotives were sharing the right-of-way with diesel electrics and turbine powered locomotives. The film begins on December 5, 1948 at Union Station in Los Angeles (:36) as a booster train departs the platform. At :50 an in-bound Union Pacific passenger train passes by. At (1:05) the East Los Angeles train station, Located at 5480 Ferguson Dr. in Commerce, is visible. At (1:08) a glimpse of the steam locomotive pulling the booster train.

This brief silent b&amp;w and color home movie was shot by an unknown American during WWII. It shows activities at the Mississippi Institute of Aeronautics in the early 1940s. MIA was a civilian pilot school; one of many built and operated during the war under government contract. The groundwork for the MIA was laid in 1940 when the government bought 220 acres of land, mostly cotton fields, to build the airport. By September, 1940 the airfield was in operation. Eventually 3000 cadets made their way through a 5-week course at what was first named Robins Field, later renamed Augustine Field in the fall of 1941. Deactivated in 1944, the airfield reverted to the city, which used hangars for community square dances in the 1950s. The airport was renamed Bruce Campbell Field in 1953. Schools like the MIA provided a large part of the pilot training effort conducted by the U.S. Army Air Force. Most of these schools were closed by the end of 1944. The film delivers a slice of early aeronautics history; training in aeronautics during the Second World War. Much of the footage shows trainee pilots getting their feet wet with Boeing-Stearman Model 75 biplanes / PT-17 Stearmans and Fairchild PT-19s.  

Opening shots pass over the interior of a hangar with a no smoking sign stuck to it (:05). A row of Boeing trainer planes (:14) hang on the right end. The view runs over 1940's cars in the lot (:36). More Boeing trainers line up near the runway (:41). These are likely the PT-17 Stearman. Dark footage shows the expanse of the airfield (1:12). A close shot follows of the plane propellers (1:22). Student pilots head for the crafts (1:36). A Stearman heads for takeoff (1:40).

This heat damaged, silent home movie shows images from the “Death Valley Centennial”. This event was hosted by actor James Stewart in Desolation Canyon and took place on December 3rd, 1949. From the 1948 to 1950, Californians held annual birthday parties for the state composed of cavalcades, exhibitions, parades and festivals in order to commemorate notable historic events which shaped history of the incredible Golden State. This includes the first gold discovery, the subsequent gold rush and later statehood. This particular year included a reenactment of the Manly Party 1849 Crossing. This took place as William Lewis Manly and John Rogers walked westward from Death Valley to San Fernando Valley in order to assist stranded comrades.

Shot by an unknown amateur filmmaker in the 1950s (?), this silent home movie shows landmarks and natural landscapes from a visit to Jasper National Park, the largest national park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada. The film shows footage of mountains and animals interspersed with descriptions and quotes on title cards. The film begins with a title card reading, “Jasper National Park Alberta, Canada opened to the public in 1922” (0:10). This is followed by a card saying, “Edmonton to Jasper hi-way horse power vs. motor power” (0:15). A man in a cowboy hat and overalls stands next to some horses; a muddy road with ruts is shown. Another card reads, “In serene majesty Mount Edith Cavell lives ___ snow-crown into the blue” (0:27), followed by a view of the mountain, one of the park’s most famous. At 0:43, a card with “Angel Glacier covers the saddle Mt. of ___ and Mt. of sorrow.” The glacier flows down Mt. Edith Cavell and is shaped like an angel spreading its wings. An avalanche from Angel Glacier is shown at 1:31, with a card reading, “A thundering avalanche falls from Angel Glacier.” A woman sits on a rock at 1:58. A log cabin; mountain peaks; a card with a moose on it and the quote “I feed him from my hand/ his trust is beautiful to see/ the timid deer with new-gained faith/disputes the path with me” (2:21). A deer walks through the woods; a hand reaches out to feed it. At 2:58, a sign for Athabaska River &amp; Falls. At 3:30, a card reads, “We “shoot” the wary mountain goat,” followed by mountain goats running away. At 3:49, a card with “Athabaska Glacier covering Mt. Athabaska from peak to base with glittering snow.” At 4:04, ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/69e707c7-52db-45a2-9529-da8b350d9685/abd8c2dc-64ad-4e8c-a97d-68a3716d9e52-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/e5tZJeJhqjwpzXYmhje5dn</video:player_loc><video:duration>919</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T14:52:06.375Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1MEJvgjrKfaQAzZNSsDAo6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6874d023-b435-4ee2-b2a8-4ca8be7dee28.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" CALIFORNIA'S STATE WATER PROJEC T" 1965 CONSTRUCTION OF OROVILLE DAM PROMO FILM XD76885</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This film shows the building of the Oroville Dam in California beginning in October 1961. This is an earthfill embankment dam on the Feather River east of the city of Oroville, California, in the Sierra Nevada foothills east of the Sacramento Valley. At 770 feet (235 m) high, it is the tallest dam in the U.S and serves mainly for water supply, hydroelectricity generation, and flood control. The dam impounds Lake Oroville, the second-largest reservoir in California.

Film presented by the state of California Resources Agency, Department of Water Resources (:29). Governor Edmund G. Brown sets off a dynamite blast (:53) in Feather River Canyon. A wide shot of the completed dam follows (1:09). It was a key feature of the California state water project (1:12). SWP is the largest public water &amp; power utility in the world with a responsibility to provide drinking water for a population of over 27 million. The California state water project began in 1951 as water supply became inadequate for the population growth. Earth movers run across the construction site (1:19).  Early construction shots show the construction of pipelines (1:52), canals (1:55), construction steel (1:59) and surge tanks (2:06). Workers conditions are depicted; boots in thick mucky brown water (2:14), dark tunnels (2:20) and dust spirals up from under bulldozer tires (2:23). The sun sets on the first day of construction (2:50). Mercury vapor lights flick on (2:53). Shots follow of everyday needs for water; a baby splashes in a white porcelain tub (4:01) and a sprinkler system sprays over a well-manicured lawn (4:09). Water requirements per person are discussed (4:33). Issues with providing civilians with necessary water supply are d...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/066056f0-9d59-4b4c-b371-e661f7bfeb71/138223e8-a106-4a7d-a3ee-4fb74a2646f9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1MEJvgjrKfaQAzZNSsDAo6</video:player_loc><video:duration>1484</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T14:52:48.926Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iLdKkHemX6rA8b5kkvLS1r</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/88eb6064-2400-4f40-a4f8-2856d1a4f12e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1980s TV COMMERCIAL PROMOS FOR TV GUIDE MAGAZINE &amp; 1970s COMMERCIALS FOR GUARANTY CHEVROLET XD26675</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This documentary THEN AND NOW was a Warner Brothers and Vitaphone production. It was probably made between the years of 1926-1931 because Vitaphone was a sound system used during that period. The commentator was Knox Manning, an American film actor. This documentary is about the changing methods of transportation through history.The film begins showing a person walking to get from one place to another (0.21-.34). The commentator discusses how humans search for the shortest and fastest way to get around. The Pony Express, started by the Leavenworth &amp; Pike’s Peak Express co. in 1859 (0.35-0.45), is shown. During this period, settlers were moving west, using the Conestoga or covered wagon or riding horses (0.46-0.57).  Prairie Schooners were called that because they looked like sailing ships. The Overland Stage on the Overland Trail was most heavily used by paying customers in the 1860’s and was owned by Ben Holladay (1.08-1.11).  Back east, horses were everywhere. More influential people used the Coach-and-four (1.12-1.23) as well as a Cabbie/Cabby (1.24-1.27). A cabbie was first used in New York in the early 1900’s by the Electric Vehicle Company. The 1890’s produced the Junk Wagon (1.28-1.32). These days also produced the Organ Grinder and his monkeys (1.33-1.41). The Horse Drawn Fire Engine was seen in the cities starting the mid 1800’s ((1.42-1.48). The Sight Seeing Bus of the early 1900’s, started by the Gray Lines (1.49-1.59). In winter, people took leisurely Sleigh rides (2.00-2.14). From the 1820’s to 1880’s horse drawn Streetcars or Horsecars were used (2.15-2.30).  Early Limousines or Limoges would drop wealthy patrons off on Broadway in New York (2.31-2.43). For those who were not wealthy, they used the Open-air Streetcar (2.44-2.53).  City streets were becoming very crowded. To avoid cluttering the streets, Elevated Streetcars, or El Rails, were de...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/09e50f33-e9d2-4076-b57f-b5f54e04876b/5a18761c-1930-45a0-b8ff-91fec6708af8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2dSi7SNMJpEnob5rUpfD98</video:player_loc><video:duration>584</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T14:54:25.606Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jdMjTfsJm8PzGpYFrAoo55</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f89db09b-f553-4a2c-ae36-974066d4b002.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>POST-WW2 SILENT HOME MOVIE  U.S. ARMY ENGINEER BATTALION IN OCCUPIED JAPAN   XD95955</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This silent, amateur home movie was shot in the immediate post-WWII period, most likely by a member of Company B of the 578th Engineer Battalion. This unit was part of the California National Guard and was headquartered stateside at the Azusa Armory; after participating in WWII the unit was eventually deployed to assist with the Korean Conflict. The film shows shots of unit members, including a personal look at the lives of the engineers. The film also features footage from Occupied Japan, primarily tourist scenes such as troops visiting local shrines. This film opens with shots of what might be the Azusa Armory but are more likely shot at an advance base in the Pacific or in Occupied Japan (:07).  Soldiers of the 578 Engineer Combat Battalion move through the bottom screen (:21). Military covered vehicles and Army Jeeps stand nearby (:37). Close shots show troops throwing a football across base grounds (1:51). Troops stand near their tents (2:25). One man shakes out his blanket (2:38). Company B practices a drill (2:47). Shaky footage bounces over Fairchild C-82's (3:51). Close shots follow of troops (4:08) in their living quarters. A man of the company smiles for the camera as he smokes (4:35). Footage follows of a shore debris clearing somewhere in Japan (5:23). Shrines are filmed (5:33). A Japanese baby sits in a small toy car (5:45). Another shrine is pictured (5:55). An aerial shot of the city follows from the roof (6:08). The camera moves over what might be a school in Japan (6:37). A cyclist runs down the empty road (6:46). Color footage shows a man tipping his combat helmet for the camera man (7:42). Color shots follow around headquarters (7:47). The C-119 flying boxcar is pictured (8:...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/938d5a9f-c8ed-48f9-944e-e80545346cf4/dfd05ffc-64d7-4011-b577-5bbfc5bfc58a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jdMjTfsJm8PzGpYFrAoo55</video:player_loc><video:duration>981</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T14:55:15.696Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bkrun71EmsbLqNAuNCphEb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/51c12c15-984e-40ff-adcf-f1c6e1540757.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s STRATEGIC AIR COMMAND FOOTAGE   B-52, SR-71, U-2, TITAN II, MINUTEMAN MISSILE XD26895</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

An Official United States War Department film (T.F.4662), “The Automatic Weapons Firing Unit Part 8: Care and Maintenance of the Gun” (1942) is a black-and-white training film produced by the Signal Corps for the Commanding General Army Ground Forces on automatic weapons firing. This particular film is part 8 in a series of films that, as the title suggests, concentrate on how to care for and maintain a U.S. Army 40-mm Bofors M1 Automatic Anti-Aircraft Gun out in the field of combat. The film is broken up into four parts offering step-by-step instructions for you to disassemble, re-assemble, clean and oil, and check the recoil of the gun as well as how to remedy any issues. 

The Bofors 40 mm Automatic Gun L/60 (Bofors 40 mm gun) is an anti-aircraft autocannon, designed in the 1930s by the Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors. Designed as an intermediate anti-aircraft gun, the Bofors 40 mm L/60 outperformed competing designs in the years leading up to World War II in both effectiveness and reliability, and by 1939 was exported around the world. In 1938 the United States Army introduced a 37 mm gun of their own design, but found it to be of limited performance and by 1939 opted for a single mount Bofors that was known as the 40 mm Automatic Gun M1.

Presented by Appleton-Century-Crofts, Inc., a division of the Meredith Publishing Company, “Behavior Theory in Practice Part IV: Sequences of Behavior” (1965) is a color, educational film that looks at, as the title suggests, studies and applications of Behavior Theory. Specifically, the film seeks to illuminate sequences of behavior under multiple stimulus control. The film shows various clips from experiments using different test subjects, from a quail to a German Shepherd show dog. Behavior Theory or Behaviorism is a psychology theory that suggests that all behaviors are learned or acquired through a conditioning process. 

Film opens, opening credits (0:08). Quail inside clear glass/ plastic box pecks wall of box; Pecking record on monitor beside box (0:18). Homogenous Chains of Behavior: Close-up quail inside box responding to different SD light indicators (white, blue, red, green) which function as a conditioned reinforcer for the preceding response in the chain; Example of homogenous chain of behaviors where successive response have same topography (0:30). Another example of homogenous chains, however, instead of quail a young boy plays with apparatus featuring multicolored telegraph keys and corresponding lights that measure sequence of responses (1:36). Heterogeneous Chains of Behavior (those tested outside controlled laboratory environment): Pigeon inside apparatus depicting magazine feeder training; Light and sound as SDs indicating when pigeon should eat (2:17).

This short, black-and-white educational film from 1948 titled “Building a Highway” uses live action footage to offer insights into how highways are built. Produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films in collaboration with M.B. Lagaard of the technological Institute at Northwestern University, the film walks the viewer through the step-by-step process of constructing highways from choosing and surveying the land to laying concrete. Encyclopædia Britannica Films (also named EB Films for short) was the top producer and distributor of educational 16 mm films and later VHS video cassettes for schools and libraries from the 1940s through the 1990s (by which time the internet replaced video as a primary source for educational media).

This black and white adverting film about safety built-in to the 1957 Chevrolet cars is presented by Chevrolet dealers and is a Jam Handy Picture. The film attempts to present safety innovations featured in the car, and while there are some, hindsight reveals that the cars of the 1950s were woefully equipped to meet accidents. Few if any were equipped with seat belts, and the Bel Air (like many cars of its era) had protruding items on the dash board, a telescoping steering wheel column the could crush a driver in a crash, and a solid, non-breaking steering wheel among other things.A 1920s dressed man drives a 1920 Chevrolet FB-50 Touring car now a 1950s street (:07-1:00). The image is replaced with a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe (1:01-1:35). The female driver’s 1957 bow pump shoe is shown up-close on the gas pedal and then moves to the power brake (1:39-1:43). The large steering wheel is shown, followed by an up-close view of the ventilation button choices (1:44-1:52). The turn signal at the back of the tail fin is shown blinking (1:53-1:55).  Her finger pushes in the automatic windshield washer button, turning the electric wipers on. The new larger windshield is compared to one from 1937 with the strip down the middle and corner posts, 1949 is the same with curvier glass, 1953 has no center strip, 1955 has tipped the corner posts back, and the 1957 version as one large windshield made of safety plate glass without the blind spots in the structure (1:56-2:40). The Bel Air continues driving on a highway. The female driver wears a white-collared striped blouse. She is showing pressing the brake pedal, steering, and pressing the gas pedal (2:41-3:03). The close-up is on one of the white-wa...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a070107d-338f-4e38-95c1-6b266df1d375/b25a73dd-48ba-4965-92d4-b4852942db80-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kP51HrXSzgL2P7KDWTrJFx</video:player_loc><video:duration>544</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T15:18:31.060Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bCmEwt5cJaZ17dd8tKkMoi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/32af5050-952d-4d64-8009-b12e143cb7ec.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" REST AND LEISURE IN THE USSR "  1963 RUSSIAN LANGUAGE TEACHING FILM  MOSCOW, SOVIET UNION 24704</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1963 teaching film for Americans learning Russian was produced by the International Film Bureau with assistance from the Audiovisual Center at Syracuse University.  Written and spoken by Olga S. Federoff, the film describes in slow and simple language the footage of Russians enjoying rest and leisure activities. In particular, this film is useful for intermediate-level learners of Russian who are working on how to describe and narrate daily life and hobbies. For other audiences, this film is a unique glimpse at life in Moscow in the early 1960s.

At the time of this film, the USSR was led by Nikita Khrushchev who initiated certain reforms as part of a broader "de-Stalinization." The Cuban missile crisis occurred in 1962 and the year prior, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to enter space. A popular past-time for Moscow residents included going to parks such as Gorky Park. Creating these impressive parks was a priority for the Soviet government's urban planning because it provided a way to improve residents' living conditions in an urban environment while also serving as a tangible achievement of the government. Moscow had seen a significant growth in its population after World War II due to internal migration due to the war and industrialization.

Dating to July, 1967, this raw footage was shot in Vietnam by a combat cameraman whose last name was Kalsey. The film shows activities of the Mobile Riverine Force, which was deployed with howitzers aboard lighters or fire support barges. This was part of the U.S. Navy's "brown water Navy" or riverine force. At (6:37), what appears to be the self propelled barracks ship APB-35 Benewah is seen. This was flagship for the Commander Task Force (CTF) 117, the Mobile Riverine Force operating in the Mekong Delta. In addition to serving as headquarters, she provided barracks space, medical facilities, stores issue and a myriad of other services to the sailors and soldiers operating with the Mobile Riverine Force and with the similar formations that succeeded that organization when it was disestablished late in August 1969.

This untitled, uncredited silent, mostly unedited black-and-white film chronicles Paul Louis Hoefler’s Colorado African Expedition of 1928-1929. Specifically, the film looks at the traditional lion hunting ceremony of the Maasai people in Kenya’s Savanna. Hoefler, who was born in Spokane, Washington in 1893, was an esteemed Hollywood cameraman and cinematographer who gained notoriety in the late 1920s after returning from the Denver African Expedition of 1925 with what was reportedly the first film footage of Southwest Africa's Bushmen. After the first successful expedition, Hoefler went on to lead the Colorado African Expedition, which was the first complete trans-Africa journey, and produced the first sound film of Africa called 'Africa Speaks.' Hoefler’s objectives for the expeditions were to study and photograph native and animal life across Africa, specifically, he had a particular interest in studying the Nandi and Maasai of East Africa, the Efé of the Belgian Congo, the Sara Kyabé of the French Congo, as well as lions, birds, and rhinos. Note: this footage was marked "Rolls 5-10" on the canister. Presumably there was a lot more footage shot as part of this expedition but its whereabouts are unknown. 
 
Film opens to group of Maasai men sitting in brush of African Savanna under Acacia trees, spears sticking up from ground (0:01). Camera pans men in attendance, men all wear cloth fabric wrapped around torso and waist, ears adorned with heavy earrings (0:25). Young man runs to tell another villager that the hunt will begin, man who was standing beside straw hut grabs ‘oblong shield/ o’longo’ (Maasai shield), spear, and what looks like feathered headdress and costume emulating the shape of a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/468934ef-73f1-489f-bf1e-0b7990cb0668/51dc3b1f-f723-4c6c-9cdd-22a40eb1f19d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9HbHqWFjuEfewRKqyestfh</video:player_loc><video:duration>922</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T15:21:33.739Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/h1Zo197ioGvYPUK1RCeNZ2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/eb3f69d4-bcf7-4cb7-9b00-999c0eaa3808.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1967 VIETNAM WAR RAW FOOTAGE  RIVERINE FORCES AND INFANTRY COMBAT OPERATIONS  83405</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This footage from the Vietnam War dates from  September 4th of 1967, and shows elements of the U.S. Army being deployed into combat by the Mobile River Force. It was shot by an unknown cameraman named Kalsey. During 1967, the U.S. military saw 361 killed and the First Marine Division carried out Operation Swift. The Mobile River Force is mentioned (:07) on the slate -- a box of safety film seen at the head of this footage. The Mobile Riverine Force was a joint U.S. Army and U.S. Navy force comprising a substantial portion of the "brown water navy". 

Opening scenes show troops moving through an open unidentified field and boarding an LCI or similar vessel (:16). A soldier washes up on the riverbank (:38). Infantry trail down a dirt road; livestock prick the grass (2:49). Close shots show infantrymen wading through a watery jungle (3:32). Thatched huts are searched within thick foliage (3:55). A soldier uses the point of his machine gun to search for hidden Viet Cong (4:30). A River Monitor plows through thick brown waters (6:12). Small village homes line the waterway (6:19). Point of view footage zooms through the water (6:39). A small boat runs up to a River Monitor (7:20), marked T-112-7 for River Assault Division 112. (Note: this ship is an Armored Troop Carrier (ATC), often called Tangos from the phonetic alphabet for T. These were LCM-6 landing craft used by the Mobile Riverine Force (MRF) and by Republic of Vietnam Navy (RVNN) and Khmer National Navy.) Close shots trace the men as they climb aboard the Tango (7:40). A series of the vessels move forward (8:56). Another shot follows from aboard one of the Monitors (9:17).

This late 1920s or early 1930s silent black and white short directed by Leo Lipp for the National Tuberculosis Association (founded as the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, now the American Lung Association) dramatises the life of a young man infected with TB by a careless aunt to emphasize the need for testing those with symptoms of the disease (TRT 10:25).An opening title card: “Tuberculosis-- Destroyer ancient as man-- yet at last we know enough about it to root it out” (0:08). A physician sits at an office desk surrounded by five young men and women. Behind him is an X-ray photograph showing lungs and a ribcage (0:17). Intertitles: “Tuberculosis is caused by a living germ.” A splice. A still image of microphotography enlarged to poster size. A pointer indicates a TB germ (0:30). “The germs get into the body in various ways.” A young woman, a girl, and a baby carriage, stroller, or pram. The little girl picks a piece of candy up off of the ground. The mother dusts it off, and passes it back to the girl, who begins to lick it (0:46). “Anything which touches the lips of a person who has the disease may carry the germs.” A Western Union telegram delivery man licks a pencil while filling out a form. Two young boys share a harmonica (1:26). “How can little John escape getting into his lungs some of the germs of his Aunt Alice, who thinks she has only bronchitis.” Two women sit in a living room. A young boy approaches them from behind. One woman, with luggage and a fur, coughs into a handkerchief, then kisses the boy (1:51). “Tuberculosis germs get a foothold in the lung.” Animation shows small black germs multiplying and spreading across an enlargement of a lun...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9d45404e-aef8-43d4-9632-48d7ea169d31/69c03734-df82-4ed7-a96b-94737e4eb0cf-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kqokAtWDS1pZSz15PoDjxt</video:player_loc><video:duration>469</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T15:21:59.141Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5yv2fdGRMFp18b7mc4KEuN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e7b297d6-a4ac-4fd0-874e-6f84bda28e93.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ ANSCO 242 &amp; YOU ” 1955 ANSCO 242 PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM  STOCK PROMOTIONAL MOVIE   69515</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Ansco, a photographic film company based out of Binghamton NY, presents this promotional film "242 and You". It shows modern viewers a slice of the film industry during the mid-1950's. The advertising film targets professional motion picture producers encouraging them to purchase the Anscochrome professional film type 242 released in 1955. Ansco was formed originally as E. Anthony &amp; Co. in 1842. The company continued to produce film stocks until the late 1980s. At least some of these have proven prone to various degrees of "color fade" over time.

The movie opens with images of memorable events captured on Ansco film including the Thor-Able engine test at an Air Force facility. (Thor-Able was an Expendable Launch System and Sounding Rocket used for a series of reentry vehicle tests and satellite launches between 1958 and 1960.) The narrator mentions the first color images of the Veil Nebula captured by William C. Miller; research photographer at the California Institute of Technology (:46). Footage captured within the 200 inch telescope (:53) and the photo micrographs captured at Lederle Laboratory (1:08) were also recorded on Ansco film. Color quality of the film is discussed (1:33). Work by Dr. Morton Sultanoff is cited (2:11). Examples images are shown (2:25). Color characteristics of the Anscochrome sheet film are explained (2:57). Professional camera film type 242 appears (3:14). Variations in the color spectrum are discussed (3:30). The color red presents a specific problem for filmmakers (3:47). A waiter roasts a steak over a flame at a restaurant (3:55). Green is (5:07) another difficult emulsion to produce (5:11). A producer questions how this new film will cut production costs (5:50)....</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/24ee3d8a-8a3c-4645-874f-0728bc0b57a6/db179241-5a16-4d26-9aa1-b9b5d6cafad1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5yv2fdGRMFp18b7mc4KEuN</video:player_loc><video:duration>977</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T15:24:09.108Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t4odqnDbn4GYKJB5JJiE9p</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9f2279a7-0fd0-4aa1-99cb-bc159049d794.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ GETTING ABOUT ” 1935 DETROIT, MICHIGAN STREET RAILWAYS   VINTAGE TROLLEY &amp; TRANSIT FILM MD10175</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This vintage transportation film is created by the Detroit Department of Street Railways (D.S.R) as a promotional film (00:00). Viewers travel around old Detroit in the mid-1930s as the city grew into a major hub for the transportation industry. It details how locals get around focusing on use of the D.S.R line. The film boasts of the line’s excellence in maintenance, cost and service. The D.S.R. was founded in 1922 and was the progenitor of DDOT; the Detroit Department of Transportation. D.S.R managed the Detroit United railway system. The last of the streetcars were decommissioned in 1956. Al Weeks narrates (:17). A trolley car of the DSR line is shown, probably a double ended Birney Safety Car or similar (:25). A railway employee wipes the company logo clean (:32). 1930’s automobiles and a Yellow Coach bus run by the rail line (:58) as the narrator stresses the value of public transit. During this time period; nearly a million rode the D.S.R. street cars and busses daily (1:07). Detroit’s history as a hub for transportation began in 1902. A Ford transit bus navigates past Detroit's Highland Park property (1:25), site of the first Highland Park Plant, opened in 1909. Inevitably it would be the automotive industry which would decimate the rail car industry by the close of the 1950's. Over 30 acres of yards are set aside for rail car storage (1:32). Other major rail car companies of the time are mentioned including Coolidge, Shoemaker and Jefferson Car Housing (1:42). Maintenance men perform routine maintenance (1:50). A hydraulic jack pumps the 16000 lb. car up (1:53). A fresh layer of paint is sprayed on (2:05). A rail car runs through the shower rack (2:31). Window washers snap to work (2:55...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/db1faa42-c003-4aa7-887b-78b4f4e80347/0eaa33db-53ea-4dcb-aee9-1030ae409b40-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/t4odqnDbn4GYKJB5JJiE9p</video:player_loc><video:duration>857</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T15:26:05.671Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/w1QaK8cyLJ9RShgbiR5nRS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cda5c776-290e-4ba4-a0d4-06a0aef380fb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>VIETNAM WAR DAILIES   ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM (ARVN) DECORATION DAY  TRẦN THIỆN KHIÊM 83425</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

These silent, color film "dailies" portrays what appears to be a Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) review and decoration ceremony involving the attendance of the former leader of the Army and then Defense Minister of South Vietnam Trần Thiện Khiêm. Many members of the U.S. Army, including officers, as well as what appear to be U.S. embassy staff, are visible in the material, and U.S. Army officers are decorated in the footage. This material  dates to the Vietnam War and was donated to Periscope Film by retired U.S. Army combat cameraman David Plenn.  Plenn put a group of films into a box as his tour of duty was ending, and shipped them back to the United States. These films included both material he'd shot as a cinematographer for the Army, and materials shot by other combat camera staff. The films remained in storage for three decades while Plenn pursued a successful career as a Hollywood cameraman. In the 2000s he donated the films to Periscope Film in hopes of having them preserved and made available to the public.   Men in white shirts, possibly South Vietnamese staffers (00:09) and uniformed Army band (00:13).

Presented by the U.S. Army Air Force's Materiel Command at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio, this 1940s film takes a look at helicopter technology, and features a look at some of the earliest practical rotary aircraft.  It details the story of the birth of the helicopter and looks at its various uses and potential. The XR-4 / Sikorsky R-4 is featured throughout the film. The XR-4 is a two seat chopper first flown in 1942. 

The film opens on May 18th, 1942 with an operator at the control tower providing light for the landing of the XR-4 (:50). This was the first successful helicopter landing (1:16) with a touch down on the flight line of an Army Air Forces base. The craft was created by Sikorsky of the Aircraft Division at Bridgeport Connecticut. The pilot, who had flown 761 miles to Wrightfield, Ohio, is pictured stepping from the craft (1:31).

This black-and-white World War II era official United States Army War Department training film by the Army Service Forces and Army Pictorial Service Signal Corps, along with the Walt Disney Company, shows various mental health conditions corpsmen encounter on the Army psychotic wards and their symptoms. The film begins with an opening crawl explaining the film’s purpose, saying that corpsmen who carry out their duties with kindness “will be performing an important and significant part in the war.” (0:51). The film breaks down the word “psychosis” into its component parts: “psyche,” meaning “mind,” and “-osis,” meaning “condition.” (1:12). Several mental health conditions are described, each accompanied by a description and sketch produced by the Walt Disney Company. The first condition is the agitated type (1:29), characterized by patients who worry and can’t sit still. A sketch of an agitated patient sitting in a chair. This is followed by catatonia (1:36), a “paralysis of the will” illustrated by a patient lying rigid in bed. Manic patients (1:52) display constant activity; a man paces back and forth. Severely depressed patients (2:02) have “a deep sense of unworthiness” and must be watched for suicidal tendencies; a man sits on the edge of a bed holding his head in his hands. Paranoid patients (2:16) have delusions of persecution, while patients with dementia praecox (2:29) are “out of this world;” a man dreamily looks at the clouds. The film switches from sketches to a mental hospital; an orderly pushes a cart as a corpsman checks on patients (2:55). A method is shown “to help a patient along a bit” by grabbing the patient’s left wrist and pressing it to his hip while holding his right arm ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/de5d28df-d282-48c5-93e6-68a8e0729ecc/879410d1-aa0b-40b4-a6de-158714460d66-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tsAcJ3r1obQWZaUeDZW4UY</video:player_loc><video:duration>545</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T15:59:34.679Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3jyPLEJQGeL4fPSyJapzE7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5f438279-9bf6-4b5c-9ee1-80873914f765.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ THE AMPHIBIOUS MARINES ” 1952 U.S. MARINE CORPS USMC AMPHIBIOUS WARFARE DOCUMENTARY GG44025</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Ships dot the sea (:24). Amphibious missions were allotted by Congress as the Marine Corps’ major mission. Landing ships wade offshore (:35). Shoreline installations are targeted during initial softening up attacks (:51). Photographs and drawings depict early Marine history formed as the amphibious assault was perfected (:56); Tun Tavern in Philadelphia was the first recruiting site in 1775.

Dating to 1933, this short film from filmmaker Burton Holmes shows the Chicago World's Fair at Night. The fair was also known as the "A Century of Progress International Exposition". It was held in the city of Chicago, Illinois, United States, from 1933 to 1934, and celebrated the city's centennial. The fairgrounds of the "Rainbow City" featured dazzling illumination, which is visible throughout the film. Some shots were likely shot from the moving Sky Ride. At (1:33) some of the fountains used in the fair's water show are shown. The lagoon fountain was billed at the time as the largest fountain in the world, at 670 feet long and was illuminated at night by colored lights. At (2:25) some of the state pavilion buildings are shown. The Sky Ride visible at (3:00) consisted of two towers, each 628 feet (191 m) high, spaced 1,850 feet (560 m) apart. Each tower had four elevators with a 30-person capacity.  It was a transporter bridge (with a design similar to an aerial tramway or gondola lift) that ferried people across the lagoon, Burnham Harbor, in the center of the fair. At (3:28) fireworks erupt over the venue. At (4:29) a shot of the General Motors or GM building. The film concludes with a dazzling light show (5:23).

This 1950s color home movie begins in the Italian or possibly French countryside, showing picturesque towns and farmland.  The majority of the filming is done in Rome however, featuring famous sights such as the Colosseum and St. Peter’s Basilica. The focus throughout the film is on different churches in Rome. It ends with a large gather at St. Peter’s Square where the Pope, most likely Pope Pius XII, is carried around on a chair by admiring crowds.

This late 1930s or early 1940s home movie shows some of the main attractions on a road trip through New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Some famous sights include the Carlsbad Caverns, the Grand Canyon, the Mission Inn in Riverside, San Diego, and different parts of Los Angeles including Santa Monica beach. The film mostly features sights, but sometimes people are shown as well. Please note: this film has suffered heat damage so the colors have transferred from one part of the film to the other on the roll, and so it looks less than perfect.

This short, silent film shows USAF test pilot Robert Rushworth flying the X-15 rocket plane at Edwards Air Force Base. Most likely this film shows his first flight on November 4, 1960.

Rushworth flew the X-15 thirty-four times to a maximum speed of 4,018 mph (Mach 6.06) and a maximum altitude of 285,000 feet. He not only flew the rocket research aircraft more times than any other pilot but was also the second Air Force X-15 pilot to attain the astronaut rating. This included a flight to an altitude of 285,000 feet, made on June 27, 1963. This flight above 50 miles qualified Rushworth for Astronaut Wings, though he would have attained that honor sooner had the USAF Man In Space Soonest project proceeded according to plan. On a later X-15 flight, he was awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross for successfully landing a North American X-15 after its nose wheel extended while flying at nearly Mach 5. He made his final X-15 flight on July 1, 1966, then returned to regular Air Force duties. 

Having served in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, Rushworth also served in a number of important positions including that of Commander, AF Test and Evaluation Center. He retired from the Air Force in 1981 as Vice Commander of the Aeronautical Systems Division at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.

This 1934 semi-documentary film "Beyond Bengal" was written, photographed and directed by Harry Schenck, and features Schenck and companions Joan Baldwin and John Martin,  and a  teen-aged Malay couple, Ali and Bee.  Schenck, a Hollywood movie cameraman turned amateur explorer, obtains the permission of the Sultan of Perak, Malaysia to conduct an expedition deep into the Malayan Jungle. Schenck's party hunts and kills monkeys, tigers, and leopards during their journey. They also encounter different types of snakes, including one that catches an expedition member. The film ends with them encountering a herd of wild elephants. While the film is meant to function almost like a documentary, many scenes are either staged or crudely fashioned with editing techniques, particularly those with tigers and leopards.

0:22 - 0:33: It requires the finest machines, products of Chevrolet ingenuity, to create precise parts.

0:36 - 0:44: Master dies produce parts accurate to a fraction of a thousandth of an inch, repeating this process thousands of times daily.

0:48 - 0:54: Power presses stamp out door panels and top sections from master patterns.

This 1949 vintage educational film "Life in Mountains" is about life in the Alps, in Switzerland. The film follows the Villar family as they farm the fields and tend to livestock herds. The family’s daily chores are contrasted as they adjust to changing seasons. Coronet created 16 mm shorts from the 1940s to the 1980s for use in the classroom and in public libraries in order to provide students with in depth learning.

This includes mostly natural sights like different volcanoes and the aftermath that their eruptions have left. The cameraperson was also particularly interested in botany and flowers with extensive footage of native species and slides showing some of their scientific names. There is also fascinating footage in this reel of cattle on what might be the Parker Ranch. Here Paniolo cowboys are seen herding cattle into the ocean and then hoisting them onto a boat for transport to the slaughterhouse.

This film "The Dream Makers" was made by Gillian Cummings in 1972 on behalf of the Cryonics Society of New York (CSNY) and presumably the affiliated Cryo-Span Corp. The film shows Cummings' deceased father being frozen in hopes that he can be re-animated in the future. The film features CSNY President and cyronics pioneer Curtis Henderson and Cummings discussing the concept of cryonics. This is the practice of preserving individuals at very low temperatures after death with the hope that future scientific advancements will allow them to be revived and cured of the conditions that caused their death. The film explains the process of freezing bodies, and choses to do so with minimal attempts to hide the rudimentary process used by Cryo-Span Corporation in its work. The film also attempts to explain the rationale behind the idea of cryonics, and the potential future benefits. It also includes personal stories and reflections on the emotional and practical aspects of choosing cryonics over traditional burial methods. 

CNSY was founded sometime after 1965, and in 1968 held its first Annual Cryonics Conference at the New York Academy of Sciences, a meeting attended by over one hundred people. In July of that same year, CSNY cryopreserved its first patient, Steven Mandell. In 1969 Cryo-Span Corporation was created as a distinct entity from CSNY, which was primarily an  educational organization. Cryo-Span specialized in the technical and business aspects of cryopreservation. In 1974, the entire enterprise suffered a setback when the New York Dept. of Public Health determined that cryonics was a violation of the law. The bodies of the three patients being maintained were returned to their relatives (it's not clear if this included Cummings' father). Work continued...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2542a453-f98c-4f86-a208-608af361bb9f/d7ff2ed1-c7d9-4cb1-aa7d-c337a69dba97-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5ARYCNCgS6tifcA3ygzUmP</video:player_loc><video:duration>1284</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T16:43:21.145Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hqftQifAbh7EWCQrYtsTcG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4205c55c-bf1b-40de-8150-39d82bdf5c9a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“IT’S EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS” 1954 U.S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FILM   HISTORY OF U.S. ECONOMY XD86505</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This cartoon by John Sutherland was made for the Chamber of Commerce of the United States to illustrate how successful businesses and free enterprise are essential to the American way of life and are inhibited by overburdensome taxes. Free enterprise, the narrator argues, can be traced to the Bill of Rights, and the Founding Fathers regarded “political and economic freedom” as “interlocking inseparably.” The film suggests that the favorable economic climate of colonial America have been replaced by a modern government that imposes too many taxes and regulations.This film was made in cooperation with E.I. Du Pont De Nemours and Co. Incorporated of Wilmington, Delaware. The Associate Producer was George Gordon. The story development was done by William Scott and George Gordon. It was written and produced by John Sutherland.

This old film, likely from the 1930s, shows the Cadbury factory at Bournville and the model village built by George Cadbury, as well as the production of Cadbury’s famous Bourn-vita chocolate malt drink mix. The film opens with what appears to be a grandfather sitting down at a table with his grandson to tell him about the history of Cadbury. Viewers see a field in Bournville, near Birmingham, which is apparently where the Cadbury family built their factory. Illustrations show the evolution of the Cadbury factory at Bournville (01:48), showing the facility in 1879, 1899, and 1932. The presumed father walks into the house and joins the grandfather and boy in their conversation (02:24). The film then cuts to a shot of milk cans being loaded onto a conveyer belt at the factory (02:54). Cows graze in a pastureland. A man uses a portable milker machine on a cow (03:22). There is a shot of a small village with classic English cottages (03:55), presumably the model village established by George Cadbury next to the Bournville factory. Milk is shown running over cooling machines (04:15) and being transferred into holding tanks. A man tests a sample of milk in a laboratory. Milk is condensed as it is heated and mixed with sugar and pumped into copper condensing kettles (05:27). A man opens a valve and condensed milk pours out. The film then cuts to the boy’s mother as she leaves for her first day of work on the Bourn-vita packing floor. At the plant, women pack Bourn-vita into cartons. A man pulls eggs in large crates (06:59). Women crack the eggs into individual cups for examination. A man pulls a cart with milk canisters. A man pours ingredients into a mixer and the resulting mixture—Bourn-vi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a3ec864d-0cad-4f1d-815a-6cb489c324bf/f77bb287-6443-4335-b129-c52dfca80e81-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mf3aZ72q8dxJacXUCWCZd4</video:player_loc><video:duration>666</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T16:45:38.198Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vAi4A3AKWLQDBMZ2fBjQF7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/00549d13-99f7-4ad5-8dc1-96a17c7a6600.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1967 VIETNAM WAR FOOTAGE  CH-47 HELICOPTER DELIVERS ARTILLERY &amp; VEHICLES TO JUNGLE BASE  83435</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

"For the Fun of It" is a promo film produced by GMC Truck and Coach Division (1943-1998) of General Motors (GM). The film shows the convenience and comfort of traveling long and short distances around America by GM ‘Buffalo’ buses for leisure and travel, and planned events. The Buffalo was a slang term for several models of intercity motorcoaches built by GM between 1966 and 1980. The coaches have a stepped roof in front, and the first three rows of seats are at different levels, mounted on stepped floors similar to some theatre seating.

This Kodachrome home movie from 1955 shows a Brooklyn Dodgers game at their home field, Ebbets Field as well as the original Yankee Stadium, plus some footage of Little Leaguers and a football game. For viewers it is an up close and personal slice of a sepia toned past. Ebbets field was a Major League Baseball Stadium in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn. It housed the famed Brooklyn Dodgers team and star players such as Sandy Koufax, Gil Hodges and Jackie Robinson. The stadium was erected in March of 1912 and remained standing until the 1960’s when it was turned into an apartment complex. The original Yankee Stadium was located in the Bronx in New York City. It was the home of the New York Yankees from 1923 to 2008, except for 1974–1975 when it was renovated. It hosted 6,581 Yankees regular season home games during its 85-year history. It was also the home of the New York Giants National Football League (NFL) team from October 21, 1956 through September 23, 1973. The stadium's nickname is "The House That Ruth Built" which is derived from Babe Ruth, the baseball superstar whose prime years coincided with the stadium's opening and the beginning of the Yankees' winning history.

The film opens with point of view shots from fans in the stands at Ebbets Field (:11). The Ebbets Field Scoreboard is pictured with an advertisement for Schaefer Beer across the top. The scoreboard featured an “h” that would light up when a player hit a ball and an “e” which would light up as players made errors. Players run bases (:14). The game might be a game between the Dodgers and Cincinnati Redlegs in July or the Philadelphia Phillies played in September.

The Moody Bible Institute presents 'Dust or Destiny'; a 'Sermon from Science' with Irwin Moon (:19). This 1949 film presents an argument that Earth's natural wonders are creations of a majestic singular God. The film was produced by the Moody Institute of Science (:28), a production arm of the Moody Bible Institute. MBI still exists today, and is a private Evangelical Christian Bible college in Chicago. It was founded by Dwight Lyman Moody in 1886.  Most of the films made by MBI are pro-creationism and in fact can be seen to have an anti-science viewpoint. However they are also attributed with introducing science to fundamentalist Christians at a time when many espoused that the embrace of science led directly to atheism.

“Materials Handling Developments in the CVA-59 Class Carriers” is a color, informational film produced by the U.S. Naval Photographic Center as part of its Technical Film Report series. The film, which likely dates to the late 1950s or early 1960s, details a study and the subsequent improvements carried out by the Bureau of Supplies and Accounts and the Bureau of Ships on the USS Saratoga that sought to optimize strike down time for materials handling engineers on CVA-59 class carriers during replenishment procedures at sea. 

The Forrestal-class aircraft carriers were four aircraft carriers designed and built for the United States Navy in the 1950s. The class ship was named for James Forrestal, the first United States Secretary of Defense. It was the first class of "supercarriers," combining high tonnage, deck-edge elevators and an angled deck. USS Saratoga (CV/CVA/CVB-60), was the second of four Forrestal-class "supercarriers" built for the United States Navy in 1952.

One of a series of films that showed "Americans at Work", this episode highlights television industry workers. The film features the ocean liner SS United States. It provides an overview of the history and modern practices of seafaring, focusing on the evolution of maritime travel and the roles of various crew members on a luxury liner.

"Americans at Work" dates to 1959-1960. In 1958, AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer, William F. Schnitzler, announced the production of 52 films to run weekly for one year. The popularity of the series persuaded the AFL-CIO to extend the project by an additional 52 films.  The AFL-CIO Public Relations Department, led by director Albert J. Zack and assistant director Robert J. Wentworth, primarily coordinated the production and distribution of the series. Production was contracted to Norwood Studios, Inc. of Washington, DC, which was founded and managed by Phillip M. Martin.

This 1935 film directed by Walther Ruttmann looks at different facets of the city of Düsseldorf and seeks to rebrand the city as a city of cultural and urban reawakening, rather than an industrial city (for which it was much more known). The film begins with the celebration of the St. Sebastanius Schützenverein’s 500th anniversary and goes through symbolic points in the city including the Kaiserswerth ruins, the Rhine, Hofgarten Park, and the city steelworks. It also focuses on places that were distinct achievements of the fascist regime, such as the newly rebuilt central railway station and large grain silos. The film is eerily aesthetic and avoids any direct references to politics or the fascist German government. It was commissioned by the Propaganda Office of the city of Düsseldorf, which was then planning a large exhibition called Schaffendes Volk or Exhibition of Productive People.  Filmmaker Walter Ruttmann (1887 – 1941) pioneered the city symphony form with his "Berlin: Symphony of a City" of 1927 (also viewable on our channel).

Dating to the 1960s, this silent black-and-white footage is likely part of an industrial film or documentary. It documents the everyday people working at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). More specifically, the film sheds light on the FBI under the directorship of J. Edgar Hoover and the role of women who helped the FBI run. The film pays particular attention to highlighting the women secretaries, phone operators, and receptionists and the technology they use to do their jobs. In 1948, 30% of FBI employees were women working in roles as secretaries, file clerks, radio operators, fingerprint examiners, or lab technicians. Occasionally, some women would assist with surveillance missions, however, they were not allowed to be special agents until after FBI Drector J. Edgar Hoover’s death in 1972.

Presented by an obscure company called California Scenics, “Hollywood: The Movieland of the World” is an elaborate, tinted, silent 16mm black-and-white travelogue film depicting the early days of the “Hollywood Golden Age” in the 1920s and 1930s. It was photographed by W.F. Sullivan. The film itself likely dates to the late 1920s (perhaps 1929) based on the automobile models that appear throughout the film and the appearance of certain actors on set for films that were released during that time. The film takes the viewer to famous attractions and sites across Hollywood from famous theatres like El Capitan, Grauman’s Chinese and Egyptian Theatres, and Circle Theatre to Wolf’s Lair Castle above the Hollywood Reservoir. The film ends with behind-the-scenes footage of the major film and TV studios that “controlled” Hollywood at the time like Paramount, Fox Hills Studio, First National Pictures Studio, and others.

Likely dating to the early 1940s, this fascinating, silent, black-and-white home movie chronicles the lives of crew members working on several different oil tanker vessels. It likely dates to the WWII era or just prior. The film centers around three tanker ships: SS Swift Arrow (c.1940s), the SS Esso Providence (1940-1954), and the SS Esso Bayonne (1937-1953). SS Esso Bayonne served as an important fueler in the Pacific Theatre, and SS Esso Providence served in the Mediterranean and survived a direct aerial bomb hit during the invasion of Sicily. The film shows the crew, and the ships' stops at fuel transfer stations and pipeline terminals, and the film ends as the SS Esso Bayonne docks at a refueling station managed by what is likely Colonial American Oil Co.  

Film opens, coastal steamer ship in waters of bay likely pulling away from docking area; city coastline in background shows signs it is commercial or industrial city/ area with factory smoke stacks dotting the skyline (0:08). Crew on board: Man in chef hat and another in newsie cap sit side-by-side and look at camera while sitting on ship’s upper deck (0:13). Small kittens crawl on shoulder of one of the crew members while he smokes a cigarette (0:27). View of American Calmar Line cargo ship, probably a Victory Ship, from the deck of SS Swift Arrow (0:42).  he deck of the Calmar ship appears to be stacked with lumber.

This amateur home movie from 1968 shows activities of a Boy Scouts of America (BSA) troop in the year 1968. Whoever shot it -- one suspects it was the father of a Scout -- apparently hoped to show some of the troop's activities including preparing for a camp-out, camping out, cooking in the field, knot-tying and first aid. 

This film shows a day in the life of an unknown Boy Scout troop's adult and youth members; including how to tie knots as well as how to cook meals out in the wilderness. The film opens with shots of tracks in the snow (:15). The Boy Scout master or leader appears (:20). Scouts learn how to tie knots (:27). The end of the rope; which has been burnt so as not to fray, is noted (:41). Adult Boy Scout leaders go over the activity board (1:07). The insides of the scout’s packs are opened and explored (1:45). A scout changes his socks (2:06). Another clips his nails (2:09) from clippers found within the Scout's pack. Various tools are noted for survival in the wilderness including an axe (2:22). The axe is sharpened (2:59). A small knife is also sharpened (3:26). Shaved piles of wood are designated per type of wood (3:55). Hot dogs are folded up in foil and heated over the flame (4:31). Another foil is opened to show a cooked burger patty within (4:45). A Scout with dark sunglasses enjoys the burger (4:49). Scouts prepare delicious carmel apples in the snow (5:11). A thick teepee tent is set up outside (5:37). A circle is drawn in the snow around a compass and set of match sticks (7:09). The Scouts hold a meeting inside (7:41). A close shot follows of the program outline (7:48).

Shot by an unknown American military man or contractor, this home movie takes viewers to Vietnam, showing a slice in the day in the life of soldiers in an unidentified area (possibly Vandegrift Fire Base) near Da Nang in Vietnam. It shows a CH-47 Chinook making a delivery of cargo and picking up troops and some combat action.  We believe this dates to 1965 but it could be later. NOTE: unfortunately, a large portion of this film was shot with lint or hair in the "gate" of the camera, obscuring a lot of the action.

This film opens with shots of an Esso gasoline semi-truck (:03). A military man in camouflage cuts in front of the camera (:08). A covered jeep runs down the line (:08). A truck delivers sand bags (:18). A woman rides on the back of a motorcycle behind a covered jeep (:37). A dark blue Citroen Traction Avant runs down the street (:37). A Vietnamese father and son ride a blue motor scooter (:41). A bus from Da Nang drives by (:59). Transport vehicles haul cargo (1:21); mountains rise in the background (1:21). A bazooka is fired off (2:07). The camera pans over lush vegetation and rolling hills which might be Happy Valley (3:23). Soldiers operate the radio (3:51). Another soldier waves a metal detector over the ground searching for buried land mines (3:57). Smoke billows up from the ground from an exploded mine (4:01). Planes cross paths in the sky (4:25).

This film is raw footage from the Vietnam War era, and dates from sometime between 1967 to 1968. This footage was captured by an unknown U.S. Army Combat cameramen named Staal, and given to Periscope Film by another member of combat camera, who kept them stored safely in a foot locker until the year 2000.  This film was captured around the 1967 South Vietnamese election. It features Tran Van Huong and his running mate performing campaign drives and local Vietnamese around the small town of Rach Kien.  It opens with a sign noting the time is August of 1967 (:14) in a small village of Rach Kien and that a man named Staal is filming. Much of the footage was captured by Plenn, however, others took their hand in filming as well. Vietnamese farmers walk through a field between palm trees (:25). A stunning shot captures a cramped alleyway (:49) littered with locals and small vendors. Locals in long light orange attire read pamphlets (1:02) and slather newspaper clippings to the wall (1:19).

Dating to the late 1940s or early 1950s, this film "Aztec Tribal Dances" presents modern day dancers performing ancient dances. The Aztec dances historically were performed in large circles with offerings set in the middle. The film opens with a note informing viewers the dance takes place amid Aztec ruins and these "Aztec" performers are no longer practicing the pagan religion. (Note: many Aztecs were forcibly converted to Catholicism following the arrival of the Spanish in 1519.) The film is dedicated to the memory of photographer Bernard Stanley (:43). Aztec dances appear in brilliant red dress (1:01). The chief stands with his guitar (1:13). Three members stand with colorful and feathered headdresses (1:27) and painted shields. A wide shot captures the ruins (1:34) as bright colored dancers step from the grey entryway. They sing as they move around the center of the ruins (2:21). An aerial shot follows (3:08). The guitar player brings up the rear (3:29), light music spins out. The dancers stand at the base of a tree (4:04). A close shot brings the dancers into view (4:20). They dance back and forth with exposed chests and capes draped around shoulders (4:24). A female dancer wears a long dress (4:24) while strumming a ukulele. Another wide shot shows the dances over grey stone (4:48). The colors of the outfits and shields are noted well here (5:17); a small child dances in front. The dance is filmed between a stone doorway (5:41). Toes and festive shoes are zoomed in on (5:49) as they step in and out of the dance. Jeweled sandaled shoes (6:09) tap in rhythmic rhythm (6:15).

This 1930s recruitment film titled "Get a Member" was produced by the National Fraternal Society of the Deaf, Springfield Division 67. The NFSD was an organization of deaf people in the United States and Canada modeled on ethnic fraternal orders that were popular at the beginning of the twentieth century. Famously, the NFSD provided burial benefits and insurance to the deaf. When the NFSD was first established, other insurance companies saw the deaf as an uninsurable risk, so the organization offered burial benefits, life insurance, and sickness / accident coverage. Initially, membership was restricted to deaf men. Auxiliary divisions were established for the women and children, but they were eventually welcomed as full members of the Society

The film seeks to recruit new members for the society while showing off how NFSD works. The film features two deaf men that converse over a lengthy period of time in sign language until one man finally pays his membership fees and joins. According to a knowledgeable individual, the sign language used in the film is a bit antiquated. Here, Mike is an insurance salesman for the "deaf club".  His friend Abe is the man in the black suit. Abe isn't a part of the club. The skinny Abe buys insurance from Mike for $5.00, then finds out it's actually $5.00 for joining the club. The good news is that burial insurance comes free with club membership.

This 1940s, silent training film by the Boy Scouts of America Visual Education Service shows part of the Scouts’ Emergency Service Program “toughening process,” specifically obstacle training fields and communications relays. The film begins with a foreword describing the importance of “toughening up training” in Scouting, accomplished through hiking, camping, and obstacle and communications relays, which prepare Scouts for Emergency Service. The first part of the film (1:30) shows the Obstacle Training Field. Each obstacle in the film is accompanied by a title card. Black-and-white footage shows Scouts in uniform walking across a grass field in two lines towards a series of wooden obstacles. A title card for the first obstacle (2:30) describes the importance of rolling. Scouts somersault in between two rope lines as a troop leader observes. The next obstacle (2:38) is balance; Scouts walk across wooden balance beams. Crawling (3:04) has Scouts army crawl under a series of wooden dowels without knocking any off. At 4:10, Scouts tandem walk across logs placed over a water pit. Scouts climb ladders (4:15), use stepping stones (4:40), jump over a narrow ditch (5:05), do monkey bars (5:26), and climb the Scaling Wall (6:00). They crawl through a culvert pipe for the Culvert Crawl (6:27), navigate a “blowdown,” or pile of branches and other forest debris (6:51), vault over a wooden fence (7:19), and finish the relay by passing a neckerchief to the next team member in line. At 7:44, steps for mastering the hand-over-hand rope climb are shown. A Scout climbs and descends (8:26) the rope. At 8:59, a title card describes the importance of relaying messages in emergency situations when other co...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a1694322-e5a5-4d2f-b43f-2cfc69f3039c/6d8e0497-a40e-42d0-b4e9-646796a8b987-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kW3nN9LMaG53YRomi2PPe7</video:player_loc><video:duration>859</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T17:21:02.821Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6w5oT71sSAr55F3Ww4fdVX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/538c3faa-9566-4f62-8cb9-f29d74bfa4f7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ THE CITY AND AROUND LOS ANGELES ” 1920s LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA TRAVELOGUE   XD95545</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Made by an unknown amateur filmmaker in the mid to late 1920s, this wonderful silent film features title cards and images of popular restaurants and tourist attractions in Los Angeles. It has some extremely interesting and rare footage of oddball roadside architecture aka vernacular architecture, as celebrated by author Jim Heimann. The date the film was shot is not known but it might have been over the course of several years, as it shows the Bulldog Diner (built in 1928) and a sign for the construction of the L.A. Coliseum (completed in 1923). 

The film opens with black and white shots of the original Bulldog Café Diner (:16). This diner was situated at 1153 West Washington Blvd and opened in 1928. The cheeky pup faced joint lasted up until the 1960’s. Two hungry travelers (:28) approach the entrance. The original Brown Derby (:30) follows; another strange shaped and popular eatery. This is the Wilshire store originally opened in February of 1926. The Ambassador Hotel (:44); designed by architect Myron Hunt, opened in 1921. The Elk’s Club; the MacArthur Park Landmark is pictured (1:14). The building stands on South Park View Street and was designed in Art Deco style in the 1920’s. The Angelus Temple (1:52) appears in Echo Park. The Temple was founded in 1923. The founder’s name; Aimee Semple McPherson is prominently displayed on the building (2:19). Small market shops follow (2:39). Van de Kamp’s Bakery on the southeast corner of Wilshire Blvd and Tower Drive appears (3:11). The American flag waves in front of the vintage Union Gasoline station (3:12). Another general petroleum station (3:32) precludes an advertisement for Texaco ‘crack proof’ motor oil (3:38).

Dating to September, 1967, these silent, raw dailies show off a playground built by U.S. Army troops as part of the "hearts and minds" strategy to win over the South Vietnamese people. The playground includes a mocked up aircraft made out of what appears to be an aircraft external fuel tank, see-saws, and more. At 4:21, two G.I.s pose at the opening ceremony for the playground, while at 6:10 a U.S. Army band plays music at the event. At 8:10, a government dignitary from South Vietnam cuts the ribbon at the playground opening.

This wonderful, silent, amateur home movie takes viewers to 1940’s Los Angeles. It has a rare color image of the Hollywoodland sign, before the "land" was removed in late 1949. The film includes shots of many icons of the City of Angels, including Union Station, the ever vibrant Olvera Street, Chinatown and popular nightclubs and restaurants.  It opens with shots of vintage Union Station in Los Angeles. The art deco monument was constructed as gateway to the city. Pedestrians and station employees mill under the station entrance (:10). The iconic tall white clock tower (:22) is pictured. The camera pans over a family set up outside the station, a man (possibly a WWII injured soldier) is visible in a wheelchair with crutches at the ready (:42). Women wear square shouldered jackets and simple button down dresses. The view moves up the pillars and outer courtyard (1:01). A man exits the gold station doors (1:26). Interior windows (1:33). The view pans around the softly light interior of the station; travelers dart to destinations (1:38). A Streets sign notes Olvera street (1:48). Olvera is the oldest street opened on Easter Sunday of 1930 as a Mexican marketplace. A man in a trim suit and narrow tie feeds a scarlet macaw (1:50). Colorful gourds fill the back of a food cart (2:11). Turquois vendor stands sell small trinkets and goods (2:38).

The Addiction Research Foundation of Ontario (0:21) presents: “The Curious Habits of Man” (0:15). Directed by Robert Barclay, this somewhat obtuse 1968 film compares the unseemly behavior of drinking and smoking humans to behaviour exhibited by wild animals. 

Ice cubes dropping into a glass of alcohol (0:30). It’s a cocktail party. Jay, our sober protagonist, takes soft drinks (0:37), before mingling with other guests (0:45). More guests (1:09); Jay greets them. All are holding alcoholic drinks (1:13). A short drink poured over ice (1:24). A man laughs, saying “you don’t want to pass out like you had the last time, hey?” 

Jay turns on an old television set by turning a knob (1:38). A red bird chirps as Jay settles down into a floral-print sofa, soda bottle in hand (1:43). On the screen, a loon with intense-red eyes gives a loud, wavering tremolo (2:00). Somewhere behind Jay a woman starts to cackle (2:03). Jay notes the similarity (2:09). She shrieks in laughter with her drink in her hand (2:17), in competition with the loon (2:27). A man joins Jay (2:34) to watch the show, “Audubon Wildlife Theatre”.

A black bird (2:46) flaps its wings and caws. A man laughs with a bellow, flapping his hands (2:55). “There’s a lot of wildlife” (3:01). From 3:03, different partygoers eating (3:03); drinking (3:09); smoking (3:11); then pouring and more drinking (3:15). 

An onscreen wolf howls (3:24); a man looks about (3:26), a wolfish look in his eyes (3:34). He spots his prey: a woman in a pink dress with a keyhole cutout exposing her cleavage (3:38). The scene is punctuated with footage of a male ruffed grouse drumming his wings, puffing out his chest. Then more drinking, kissing, cackling (3:52).

This 1960s silent film features footage from NASA’s Apollo Program, including footage of "anomalies" with launches of  Saturn I rockets. The Saturn rocket program was part of the United States’ early attempts at spaceflight, and the program went through several iterations, up to the Saturn V rockets that carried men to the moon as part of the Apollo program.  

The film begins with footage of AS-103, also known as SA-9. This was the third orbital flight test of a boilerplate Apollo spacecraft, and the first flight of a Pegasus micrometeroid detection satellite. It was the third operational launch of a two-stage Saturn I launch vehicle. The initial view is from a distance, showing the Saturn I rocket on a launchpad at the Kennedy Space Center (0:10), then zooms in on the rocket thrusters igniting during takeoff (0:22).

This short film describes Captain Charles "Chuck" Yeager's historic flight on October 14, 1947, when he became the first human to break the sound barrier. Yeager piloted the Bell X-1, a rocket-propelled aircraft designed by Bell to fly faster than the speed of sound. The X-1 was loaded into a modified B-29 bomber and launched at 30,000 feet. Yeager climbed to 56,000 feet and successfully exceeded the speed of sound, reaching Mach 1. After the propellant was exhausted, he performed a dead stick landing. This milestone marked a significant achievement in aviation history and set the stage for further research in supersonic flight.

0:43 - 1:01: On October 14, 1947, Captain Chuck Yeager prepared to break the sound barrier in the X-1 at the Air Force Flight Test Center in California.

1:01 - 1:23: The X-1, designed by Bell, was fueled with liquid oxygen and water alcohol, taking an hour to complete the delicate process.

1:23 - 1:50: The X-1's fuel system had an explosive potential equal to its weight in TNT, and its rocket engine produced 6,000 pounds of thrust.

1:50 - 2:48: The X-1 was loaded into a modified B-29 bomber, a process that took considerable time due to close clearances.

2:48 - 3:08: After months of preparation, the X-1 was ready for its first attempt to exceed the speed of sound.

3:08 - 3:31: The B-29 ascended to 30,000 feet, with radar tracking the mission and telemetering flight data to the ground crew.

3:31 - 3:51: Captain Yeager wore an emergency pressure suit and entered the X-1 cockpit via a manually operated elevator.

3:51 - 4:28: After completing the launch procedure, the X-1 was released from the B-29.

4:28 - 4:48: With all four rockets firing, Yeager climbed to 56,000...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ded7dcb0-622a-44b9-8668-6e1803282c1a/f9c85bda-702e-4248-a816-6fa7aed809a2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tw2iLZRMHKAtwoutodX5hj</video:player_loc><video:duration>379</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T17:32:15.581Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2utXuvBuBoSwKiytPySJgX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/982470cb-b518-40fb-b93a-289822b59171.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ THE NAVY BUILDS MEN ” WWII ERA U.S. NAVY RECRUITMENT FILM    PHYSICAL FITNESS TRAINING 21824</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This black-and-white World War II era United States Navy recruiting film shows the Navy's physical fitness training process, focusing on different types of strength, balance, suppleness, and endurance exercises. The film begins with a fleet U.S. Navy ships at sea, followed by Navy soldiers marching in formation (0:33). A physician examines a young, shirtless man during a physical; a dentist examines a recruit’s mouth; sailors in white uniforms eat at a canteen, then sleep in bunk beds.

“Northern Alaska Today” (1927) is a silent, black-and-white 16mm newsreel film by Fox Film Corporation and Kodascope, likely part of a larger educational film series called “The World We Live In.” The film tells the story of the Alaska Purchase where, in 1867, the Russian empire sold the Untied States the territory of Alaska for a sum of $7.2 million. The deal was initiated by Secretary of State William H. Seward and was largely criticized by the American public as “Seward’s Folly” as people’s perception of the territory was that it was a useless land of ice and snow. The film charts the history of Alaska from the time of purchase through the end of the 19th century and discusses changing popular opinion as Alaska is discovered to be an “untapped” land of precious resources from gold and other ores to salmon and seal skins. Nonetheless, the film does take on a propagandized view point largely claiming that the quality of life for the indigenous Eskimos is steadily increasing due to the presence of American settlers and resources.

The film opens with shots of the popular restaurant known as the Brown Derby, which opened in 1926 (:14). There were three locations of the restaurant and this is the Beverly Hills location off Wilshire Blvd. The Beverly Wilshire Hotel; now a Four Seasons hotel, is pictured (:27). Another angle shows traffic running in front of the hotel (:39). The Beverly Wilshire Market on  9570 Wilshire Boulevard is pictured (:49). Grauman’s Chinese Theater (:59); the Movie Palace on Hollywood Boulevard, and birthplace of the Walk of Fame i(:59). A view looking east down Hollywood Blvd (1:30). A theater showing a movie called the Ten Minute Alibi (released 1935) is pictured on the right, probably this is the El Capitan Theater (1:33) with the Security First National Bank on the right. Christmas trees slouch against the wall awaiting customers signifying the film was recorded near the holidays (1:45). High palms line the famed Sunset Blvd (2:37). A cactus bush appears next to a home (3:22). Luxury homes follow (3:30); various shapes of ceramic pots are pictured in the yard (3:41). The Spadena House; a landmark Storybook architecture tourist site is known for its fanciful dilapidated design  (3:59). Another hot tourist attraction is Doheny Jr. Estate; also known as Greystone Mansion (4:35). Edward Doheny was an American oil tycoon from the late 1800's. He drilled his first successful oil well in LA County.  The home is situated next the sign reading Beverly Crest (4:32). Beverly Crest is the neighborhood in the Santa Monica Mountains.

This silent footage is from the Drivotrainer, a driver's education simulator produced by the automobile insurer Aetna. The Drivotrainer dates as far back as 1951, when Aetna introduced the innovative system, which combined an automobile simulator with 16mm motion pictures and a scoring computer, to provide enhanced behind-the-wheel instruction in the classroom. (Note: this film was originally presented in widescreen and will appear slightly distorted on Youtube.)  The film presents POV images of highway and city driving, including some "think fast" surprises (such as at :49 where a Mustang makes a sneak turn in front of stopped cars and at 3:29 where a car makes an illegal passing maneuver). At (2:13) the film also contains a fragment of film that show neon signs for various bars and cocktails, followed by a brief bit of night driving footage. The segment at 4:11 shows side view mirrors, attempting to familiarize student drivers with checking them. The film even contains a brief section where crippled cars are shown on the side of the highway at 5:50 with an officer waving cars to slow.  Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

This silent, color home movie was shot by an unknown American who visited Glacier National Park, and who added wonderfully descriptive title cards to their movie. Glacier National Park (founded 1910) encompasses a 1500 square mile area that includes 60 glaciers on high mountain peaks. The footage begins at East Glacier Park Train Station and is followed by various clips of the Swiss-style chalets and cabins found at different camp grounds, stunning lakes, and wild, rugged nature along the way from East Glacier to Inside Circle Trail. The film likely dates to the mid to late 1940s.

This black-and-white 1953 United States Navy training film by Reid H. Ray Film Industries covers the fundamentals of formation flying in 3-plane and 4-plane North American SNJ trainer aircraft.  (The Navy designation was S=Scout, N = trainer, J= North American with the 1 representing the first trainer built for the Navy by that company.) The film opens with a 4-plane formation flying low across an airfield (0:53). Narration first talks about 3-plane formations and the wingman role, as three Navy planes fly over a field. A key tenet of formation flying is to keep wings parallel to your leaders at all times. A diagram shows 75 feet and 45 degrees between both wing planes in parade formation (1:50). A closeup of a U.S. Navy plane in the inside wingman position as the film emphasizes maintaining a 10-foot step down between the lead plane and wings (2:55). Positions for maintaining distance while turning left and right using the throttle are shown from the point-of-view of planes in the air. The film then shows how to form an echelon, using diagrams of 4 planes with clouds in the background (5:31). Execute, right echelon, left echelon, and return-to-V signals are shown. The wingman drops down or pulls up on the throttle to maintain position relative to the other planes. The maneuvers are shown both in formation and from the perspective of a wingman plane (8:19). The film then shows planes taking off on a runway and the procedure to get into formation. The planes pick a landmark before taking off, then meet at a predetermined altitude and rendezvous point (9:57). The first plane to reach the rendezvous point is the leader. A diagram over a map shows the leader’s left 30-degree bank turn over the rendezvous point, maintaining a circular pa...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8ac1c295-0861-4f93-af0a-16c791fcb914/ebae0a2e-104b-4d92-b244-a34491ca5e88-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/i8MKG84QuirEcYxAGdzQpW</video:player_loc><video:duration>1517</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T17:38:22.886Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uCr1d7Hgq4u3w5n4T9maHu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/24057520-567a-4fb4-9d51-31959ca0e0cf.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“OFF TO WAR”  WWII ERA HOME MOVIE    DEPARTING FOR TRAINING CAMP, SOLDIER AND U.S. ARMY NURSE</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Shot by an unknown amateur filmmaker, this WWII era home movie focuses on a man leaving for training who returns later in the film dressed as a sergeant in the 1st Infantry Division. It also contains shots of a female nurse who is most likely the man's mother. The film also shows what appears to be the man's wife and kids, their dog, etc. 

0:12 men talking at a train station in a waiting crowd, location unknown. Sailors in uniform mill in the background. At :27, a civilian wearing spectacles kisses his mother (?) goodbye, probably as he's heading to training camp. The man's elderly father speaks to him as they wait on the platform. 1:04 a dog in front of a dog house, 1:30 the elderly man playing with the dog, 1:57 the elderly man with a younger woman, probably the son's wife, and a camera shy granddaughter, 2:25 several children / grandkids pose next to the man in front of an 1939 Dodge Luxury Liner, 2:58 the same group of children pose for the camera in front of some chickens, 3:34 the elderly man playing with his dog, 3:52 the younger man, now returned from basic training, poses with his mother who is now wearing a U.S. Army nurse uniform 4:06 the young man posing with the dog and his father, 4:28 close up of the young man’s uniform, he wears the insignia of a sergeant. The rainbow-like red, white and blue insignia on his uniform may denote "ground forces" or an infantry unit, but we've been unable to identify it. It is very similar to the "Rainbow Division" or 42nd Infantry Division patch. 4:54 the young man playing with the dog, 5:26 soldier stepping out of the Dodge Luxury Liner convertible, 5:46 the Army nurse postes and is seen lighting up a cigarette, 6:09 close up of the nurse’s unifo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e7d61135-1c62-4205-a86a-40bded88796a/f63855a0-79d3-4dd6-85a3-e6e70c440eac-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uCr1d7Hgq4u3w5n4T9maHu</video:player_loc><video:duration>517</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T17:38:17.853Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pDgp2hDyvWCR2zrGnULWvu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f033c431-8db0-47c3-99d1-f95cac592647.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" REPORT ON CHINA "  WWII UNITED CHINA RELIEF FUNDRAISING FILM w/ MAJOR MELVYN DOUGLAS XD96145</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This battered, abused and incomplete film "Report on China" (1945) was created during WWII to promote the activities of United China Relief. Footage for the short was borrowed from Frank Capra's "Why We Fight" film entitled "Battle of China". The short is hosted by Hollywood actor Melvyn Douglas, who was best known for playing a suave leading man, such as in the romantic comedy "Ninotchka" with Greta Garbo. Two versions of the film were made, the first during the war. This print is apparently the later post-war one, which was necessitated by the Japanese surrender and had a more humanitarian focus than the wartime version.

An official United China Relief article about the film states: As director of troop entertainment in the China-Burma-India theater since 1943, Maj. Melvyn Douglas has personally witnessed many of the events depicted in the film. He was tremendously interested in the picture and helpful in revising the production.  “The tremendous story of China’s suffering and its desperate need for continued American help cannot be overemphasized,” said Maj.Douglas. “I earnestly hope that the commercial movie makers and other agencies of entertainment and instruction will put the whole story of China in all its drama and appeal before the American people”. The new version of “Report on China” was rushed to completion in time for exhibition in connection with China Friendship Day, October 10 . Early in the war, Maj. Douglas enlisted as a private and rose to the rank of major, doing the arduous job of bringing recreation and entertainment to our men stationed in Burma and China. His wife, Helen Gahagan, actress and singer, is now a member of Congress from California.

The footage begins in Maryland but quickly changes to sights and scenes from around Colonial Williamsburg. Then the viewer is taken through the Blue Ridge Mountains in Pennsylvania and shown scenes of rural life there. The film ends exploring the pristine Cypress Gardens, Florida and Middleton Place in South Carolina.

It is narrated by Commander Glenn Ford, USNR, a renowned Hollywood actor.Here at mark 1:40 on the edge of the pacific zone 50 miles north of Los angeles is the U.S. Navy base Pt. Mugu, a major center for the Navy space studies and missile experiments. It is also the location of one of the most fascinating program that US has ever launched, a program for studying dolphins. At mark 02:10, a naval officer is seen making an introduction statement. He talked more on the mammals giving their life history and why the navy is so interested in their study.

These creatures can do everything extremely well and there’s much to be learnt from them that could also help the navy. Scientists believe that dolphins can see with sonar more than they see with their eyes as seen at mark 5:07. Hence scientist are training them as seen at mark 5:37 on how to use sonar hearing to fetch for things and are also rewarded after passing the test. They eat more pounds of fish per day.

The 343rd BS earned the Distinguished Unit Citation for actions in Korea, Dec. 1, 1952 - April 30, 1953, and the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation: Aug. 7, 1950-July 27, 1953.

During the conflict B-29s flew over 21,000 sorties, dropping nearly 167,000 tons of bombs. Despite their impressive record, B-29s faced stiff resistance from the Soviet-made MiG-15 fighter jets over North Korea. Officially, 34 B-29s were lost, with sixteen falling to enemy fighters, four to anti-aircraft fire, and the rest to various other causes.

Raw, silent footage from the Aberdeen Proving Ground, showing a demonstration of what appears to be a 5-barrel General Dynamics GAU-12/U Equalizer compared to what might be a 5-barrel Colt 1877 Bulldog Gatling Gun with Carriage.. The GAU-12 is a five-barrel 25 mm Gatling-type rotary cannon used by the United States, Italy and Spain, which mount the weapon in their attack jets such as the AV-8B Harrier II, airborne gunships such as the Lockheed AC-130, and land-based fighting vehicles. A lighter four-barrel version, designated GAU-22/A, is mounted on F-35 Lightning II fighter jets.

This brief WWII era silent film, a somewhat elaborate home movie, shows activities of the Civil Air Patrol in and around Mendon, Massachusetts (or possibly Mendon, Vermont). It delivers an interesting look at this important "home front" defense and emergency response force. The film likely was made in 1942, as it features an article from the July, 1942 issue of Liberty Magazine by Walter Karig at the start. Karig served as a Commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve and wrote several books on WWII, and scripts for the TV series "Victory at Sea". The Civil Air Patrol (CAP) is now considered the civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force (USAF). It was originally created by Administrative Order 9 in December 1941, with Maj. Gen. John F. Curry as the first CAP national commander. The organization was originally formed to provide civilian air support to aid the war effort of World War II through border and coastal patrols, military training assistance, courier services and other activities. CAP’s male and female volunteers engaged in an array of wartime missions. These included aircraft warning, southern liaison patrol duty along the Mexican border, courier service, missing aircraft searches, disaster relief, tow target and tracking operations, forest patrols and many others. After WWII,  the CAP was incorporated as a nonprofit organization of "volunteers and declared to be of a benevolent nature, never again to be involved in direct combat activities." 

The film opens with shots of the US flag (:09). A close shot shows Kraig's article is about a record set by the volunteer fliers (:24).

This silent 16mm home movie shows scenes of Los Angeles, Hollywood and Beverly Hills shot from aboard the Goodyear blimp "Volunteer". It also shows the Pickwick Riding School and training stables. At the time the film was made, the blimp Volunteer was based at a hangar on Florence Avenue, and the public was invited aboard for "photographic tours".  The film dates to March, 1931; the blimps first started flying in 1925 as visible corporate symbols of the world's largest tire and rubber company. The film may have been shot by M. Cady or L.J. Shearer, who are mentioned in the card at the start of the film. We don't know anything about these individuals although it seems possibly that M. Cady was Mr. William M. Cady, a businessman who made a fortune in the lumber industry. 

The film begins with shots of the Goodyear Airship Dock (:26) with a sign advertising a $5 flight aboard the Volunteer. At 1:00, the Volunteer is shown in its hangar. At 1:36, one of the blimp's engines is shown, and at 1:46 is a shot of the blimp maneuvering at altitude and then coming in for a landing at 2:18. At 2:37 are the start of aerials of the city. Some of the tighter shot aerial footage is very jerky, owing to the fact that the cameraman tried to use a telephoto lens from within the moving gondola. At 4:36 are scenes of what appear to be Beverly Hills mansions including what appears to be Greystone (4:52). The Beverly Crest sign, installed by developer George Read, is visible at 4:54, 5:13  and 5:35. At 6:50 are oil fields, possibly in Venice or the Baldwin Hills. At 6:55,  a large "57" is visible from the air. This was in Culver City, and the "57" in giant concrete numbers reminded both motorists and Pacific Electric...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ae94f89e-0a9d-4085-818b-0bcd7fe5bbb7/e150b46c-6d85-43a3-baf2-bfc5563c31b8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nynvQ89izTip691CST6TCK</video:player_loc><video:duration>758</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T18:13:58.813Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dc7rQfGzxEUzLgEd1NvBuG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/42af44df-85f8-48a4-9f10-08717422fb6d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ THIS LAND, THIS PEOPLE ” 1974 TAIWAN  REPUBLIC OF CHINA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROMO FILM   65164</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1974 propaganda film produced by Frederick F. Chen and directed by James Y. Liu seeks to showcase the development progress that the Republic of China has made since the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949. It shows several sights across the country, including the famous Palace Museum in Taipei. This is followed by an overview of progress in apartment, dam, highway, and ship construction as well as the production of export goods such as electronics, clothes, and agricultural products. It continuously emphasizes the high standard of living in the ROC through the availability of entertainment venues. It also focuses on the ROC’s role as a bastion of freedom in Asia by showing elections. This is despite the fact that in 1974 the ROC was under martial law and was being ruled by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek of the Kuomintang.  Taiwan’s 38-year-long period of consecutive martial law between 20 May 1949 and 14 July 1987 was qualified as "the longest imposition of martial law by a regime anywhere in the world" at that time. It has since been surpassed by Syria.

This silent footage showcases the  Northrop YF-17 (nicknamed "Cobra") and primarily shows it during flight tests at Edwards Air Force Base. The YF-17 was a prototype lightweight fighter aircraft designed by Northrop aviation for the United States Air Force's Lightweight Fighter (LWF) technology evaluation program. The LWF was initiated because many in the fighter community believed that aircraft like the F-15 Eagle were too large and expensive for many combat roles. The YF-17 was the culmination of a long line of Northrop designs, beginning with the N-102 Fang in 1956, continuing through the F-5 family.

The first prototype (serial number 72-1569) was rolled out at Hawthorne on 4 April 1974; its first flight at Edwards AFB came on 9 June with Henry "Hank" Chouteau at the controls flying for 61 minutes reaching an altitude of 18,000 feet and a maximum speed of 610 miles per hour. The second YF-17 (s/n 72-1570) first flew on 21 August. Through 1974, the YF-17 competed against the General Dynamics YF-16. The two YF-17 prototypes flew 288 test flights, totaling 345.5 hours. The YF-17 attained a top speed of Mach 1.95, a peak load factor of 9.4 g, and a maximum altitude of over 50,000 ft (15,000 m). It demonstrated a maximum angle of attack of 68 degrees at 28 kn IAS.

Although it lost the LWF competition to the F-16 Fighting Falcon, the YF-17 was selected for the new Naval Fighter Attack Experimental (VFAX) program. In enlarged form, the F/A-18 Hornet was adopted by the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps to replace the A-7 Corsair II and F-4 Phantom II, complementing the more expensive F-14 Tomcat. This design, conceived as a small and lightweight fighter, was scaled up to ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/30bebb19-ead7-40ba-8a8b-a6a884083632/fdb270e3-a3b7-4df6-9b08-d1ff98c75ef3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/727K4kDYM23ufqvrrnovL7</video:player_loc><video:duration>220</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T18:18:29.601Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wsWgtaE474PNRSGsnAWEQT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/034bbd01-58f8-4f04-a930-6ec9420961d7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ANTWERP, BELGIUM  1930s TRAVELOGUE    ANTWERP ZOO, FLOWER MARKET   XD83105</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This brief travelogue film, likely one of the James Fitzpatrick "Travel Talks" series (but the main title is missing on our print), takes viewers to Antwerp, Belgium in the 1930's. Within the decade of the 1930's, Antwerp hosted the Exposition International of Colonial Maritime and Art at the 1930's World's Fair as well as the Exposition of 1930 in Liege. This was to mark 100 years of independence. Antwerp would also soon become a vital strategic location for the Allied forces in the Second World War. 

This film displays culture and notable areas in Antwerp during the 1930’s and prior to the war. It opens with workers rapidly sorting potatoes into sacks (:10) as the popular food commodity was in high demand. The city is viewed from the ground level as pedestrians move over brick ground pushing wooden carts (:19). The people of Belgium were known for employing and working closely with animals. The camera zooms in on the undercarriage of the cart to note a small dog running underneath (:40). The Percheron; a draft horse common to the area, appears moving down the road with tails nearly tucked away (:57). The film notes a popular painting which immortalized the intelligent animals called "The Horse Fair" by Rosa Bonheur (1:16). Antwerp's Sunday Market is held in 'Old Antwerp' (1:27). Stalls are crammed tightly together (1:54). Vendors sell fresh vegetables and live animals (2:00) as traditionally, Belgians did not use cold storage. Puppies bounce in a crate for sale (2:33). Most people of Belgium owned pets. A young girl has a puppy bought for her by her father (2:36). One man has trained an ostrich to carry him in the same way a horse might, though the ostrich is much harder to train (2:44).

The Lexington School for the Deaf (1:22) presents a childhood development film. "That the Deaf May Speak" traces the path of education for deaf students; how different the world is for them and how to prepare them to operate within it. The film is based at the Lexington School for the Deaf; the largest school for the deaf operating out of New York City since 1864. This film was created under a grant from the estate of Lt. Lester N. Hofheimer Jr. It opens with a model named Marsha in a trim blouse at a photo shoot for a magazine (:15). She leaves the studio (:42) for New York's streets. Along the route she pauses at a baby in a carriage (:47) and at a newspaper stand (:54). As she prepares to cross the street, she is nearly hit by a car blaring it's horn (1:10). The driver comes out from the driver's side hollering "What's a matter with you are you deaf?" Marsha confirms she is (1:09). The film is narrated by Alexander Scourby (1:35); an extremely notable American film, television and voice actor. The film was produced by Nat Campus (1:43). A classroom for young deaf students appears (1:57). A small girl paints a painting (2:09). The film turns to present how sound affects society. Pedestrians jam city streets (2:56) taxi cabs ride by. A 1953 Cadillac ambulance siren screams (3:04). A traffic cop blows a whistle (3:06). Bells are rung signifying the hour of the day (3:20). St Patrick's midtown cathedral appears (3:26).

They gradually reveal that they have all of their electric needs covered by hooking a cable to the neighbor’s electric fence.

This silent footage shows the Lockheed XH-51 (Model 186), a single-engine experimental helicopter designed by Lockheed Aircraft, utilizing a rigid rotor and retractable skid landing gear.  The XH-51's rigid rotor design and extra rotor allowed it to achieve speeds that were not possible with previous rotor designs. Lockheed began developing its rigid rotor concept with the CL-475 helicopter design in 1959. The choice of a rigid rotor meant that the helicopter was more agile than it would have been with a flapping rotor. The performance of the CL-475 encouraged Lockheed to seek further development. Lockheed submitted the CL-475 to the Army as a candidate to replace the Bell OH-13 Sioux and Hiller OH-23 Raven observation helicopters. Lockheed also tested the commercial market waters without success. However, in February 1962, Lockheed's Model 186, a new design based on the CL-475 rigid rotor, was selected as the winner for a joint Army-Navy program to evaluate the rigid rotor for high-speed flight capability.

Made during the Vietnam War, this 1967 Marine Corps documentary presents "Operation County Fair". County Fair was a civic action program intended to clear Vietcong from villages while helping support villagers. As part of that they were supposed to receive medical care, fed, entertained and protected by the Marines. Like most of the civic action programs during the war, County Fair had a mixed outcome. The Vietnamese often welcomed the Marines into their villages, but lived in fear of the moment they would depart and the Viet Cong will return and exact retribution for their co-operation.County Fair operations began before dawn, with the Vietnamese forces and the Marines surrounding and sealing off a target village.  No one got in or out.  A set of announcements over a PA system informed everyone of what was about to happen.  The Marines gathered the village inhabitants into a central location and took a head count and checked their government issued identification cards. While the villagers were absent from their homes, a team went into the village and searched through houses, tunnels, bomb shelters, and animal pens.  As seen at 7:30, a group of Marines known as the Blocking Force searches for V.C. while the village is occupied. They looked for caches of weapons, hiding Viet Cong, radio equipment, or other contraband items. Anyone found in the village was questioned. The villagers in the holding area received a hot meal, inoculations against disease, and were invited to see movies, hear political speeches, receive a lesson on an agricultural subject, or play games.  At 8:48, as seen in the film, an air strike is called in by Marines engaged in a firefight with Viet Cong. At 9:25, KIA Viet Con...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7173784e-79fd-4a2d-b08d-5627cee32b16/dd5c7c7a-dca3-412f-af45-68604164081c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/f1xFVYTGt1XjQXfVaXh63w</video:player_loc><video:duration>832</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T18:36:24.104Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2ANVRB6ZrNPGDd5tUhetWM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f212237c-c7a9-4aea-a4e4-83e98aed082c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ VISIT TO PUERTO RICO ” 1970s TRAVELOG TO PUERTO RICO  SAN JUAN   PRINCESS CRUISE LINES    56884</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This brief film by John and James Love shows sailplanes, and features famed sailplane designer Hawley Bowlus. It was probably shot at Point Loma in San Diego, California. Sailplanes rely heavily on wind currents for movement forcing pilots to behave like birds. The film shows the assembly of sail planes and follows the flight of a newly assembled plane. William Hawley Bowlus was an American designer, engineer and aircraft builder. He was well known for his glider crafts and recreational vehicles during the 1930’s and 1940’s. 

The film opens with a special acknowledgment for Bowlus (:07) whom was also the chief pilot for this film. The film was produced by John W. Love (:15). The Wright Brothers first flight is pictured in a glider aircraft (:37). An engine was added to the glider making it the first airplane (:41). An early glider flies low over ground (:58). A sail plane zooms towards the camera (1:13). Hawley Bowlus appears in the cockpit (1:33). The foot pedals are noted for steering (1:40). A glider club works on a glider kit (1:48). They sand down wooden pieces (2:04). The assembled glider is taken to the field for a test (2:19). A car drags the sail plane into the air (2:27). A  Hawley Bowlus Baby Albatross, tail NX13399, soars through the air (2:43). It glides down an imaginary slope in the air (2:52). Pilots search for rising currents of air in order to lift them upwards (3:02). The pilot also may search for ‘dust devils’ or thermals (3:20). Thunder head clouds are pictured (3:23). Crows and hawks circle on a thermal (3:30) similarly to how the sail plane might. The narrator mentions contour currents are better suited for the novice ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/34395fce-e90b-4f16-9be9-99bbd47cecc7/b735d62b-9bc5-45c6-937a-2319028a541c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7s2XkEPTvLCAZUXLEtEk22</video:player_loc><video:duration>612</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T18:41:24.249Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fu276s3jjT6B82Rrheo893</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9171b539-42e1-4875-8c6e-c69a84c630ef.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THIS IS CYBERNETICS "  1970s INTERFACE BETWEEN MAN, COMPUTERS &amp; ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE   GG45025</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This obscure but thought-provokingly ahead-of-its-time film "This is Cybernetics" was made by Hungarofilm / Budapest Film Studios, directed by Tamas Somlo, and released by McGraw Hill. The film discusses the new science of Cybernetics, "which explores the similarities and common laws of the human brain and machines, the human nerve system, and lifeless automati." Dr. Gyorgy Adam and Janos Szelszsan served as advisors on the film, which features electric models by Sando Varga. Agnes Varga served as production manager. The film includes several early computers including an Elliott 803 transistorized computer made by Elliott Brothers Ltd., and a Soviet URAL-2 computer. 

1:21 - 1:27: The human brain is described as the most wonderful automaton in the world, weighing about 1.5 kg and consisting of billions of nerve cells and fibers.

1:40 - 1:50: No modern technique has created a device as complex as the human brain, which can produce electrical and chemical contacts.

2:00 - 2:02: No instrument can replace the experience and function of the human brain.

2:34 - 2:42: Machines cannot yet imitate the reflexes and fast movements of sportsmen.

3:07 - 3:14: An example of a fencing match; a sword trick is given to illustrate the brain's quick decision-making.

3:37 - 3:52: The human brain can quickly solve complex calculations, but electronic computers can do it even faster.

4:00 - 4:08: Computers can play chess, translate languages, and give medical diagnoses.

4:40 - 4:53: Sensory information reaches the brain through various organs, but not in its original form.

5:08 - 5:38: Nerve cells transmit impulses through chemical and electrical processes, creating a series of electric impulses in...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/754972a4-7a5d-4e07-bc5a-8f884a3c7ace/a87898b7-2369-4013-a2ee-6173d3d6f715-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fu276s3jjT6B82Rrheo893</video:player_loc><video:duration>1303</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T18:44:24.686Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uP8cHbHWP7gShoJc8GpXS2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1bea598c-9b66-4ec2-a08b-106465e8d289.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1976 SPACE SHUTTLE SYSTEM OVERVIEW   ENTERPRISE ROLLOUT   SIMULATED MISSION PROFILE XD70455</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This short film from 1976 introduces the Space Shuttle and shows the rollout of the orbiter Enterprise, ship #101. The rollout shown was on September 17, 1976. At 1:00, a quick montage shows steps in building the shuttle components, followed by views of the Dryden Flight Center near Lancaster, California where the set-up for glide tests is nearly complete. NASA's director of Space Shuttle Operations Isaac T. Gillam IV comments about the status of the 747 to be used in the glide tests. (Gillam was director of Dryden [now Armstrong] Flight Research Center, NASA’s major field center for the flight testing of high speed aircraft and experimental vehicles in Edwards, California.) At 1:49, the first crew of astronauts are shown: Joe Engle, Dick Truly, Fred Hayes and Gordon Fullerton. Fullerton comments about the Space Shuttle's mission profile while simulations show how the Shuttle will deliver payloads into orbit and return to Earth in a glide. At 3:14, an astronaut uses a simulator as part of training. At 3:36, more footage of the Enterprise from the rollout ceremony (this portion of the film has heavy water damage).

This 1950s US Navy Training Film (MN-105a) was produced by the Bureau of Aeronautics Photographic Science Laboratory and looks at health considerations for hard hat, deep sea divers. It uses animations to teach concepts such as how to calculate pressure, how the body and organs respond to pressure underwater, the effects of decompression sickness, as well as generally important health standards that deep-sea divers need to meet. The underwater footage was taken at Silver Springs, Florida. The type of diving suit shown is the standard diving dress, also known as hard-hat or copper hat equipment, deep sea diving suit or heavy gear. This is a type of diving suit that was formerly used for all relatively deep underwater work that required more than breath-hold duration, which included marine salvage, civil engineering, pearl shell diving and other commercial diving work, and similar naval diving applications. Today, standard diving dress has largely been superseded by lighter and more comfortable equipment

Created by the U.S. Navy in collaboration with the U.S. Coast Guard, this film from the "Rules of the Road" series focuses on vessels crossing in daytime. The film dates to 1956 and was created by the famous Jam Handy studios. Navigation rules are regulations which aid mariners in safe navigation, just as driving laws aid vehicles in safe driving. This film focuses on the meeting rules for ships at sea, with attention paid to avoid a collision through assessment of various factors including which vessels are privileged and which are burdened, etc.

The "Rules of the Road" series was possibly inspired by an article written by Lieutenant Commander S. G. Kelly, USN who suggested in 1941 that the Navy should create a "pictorial study of the Rules of the Road. A student of these rules is faced with the arduous task of learning their correct application under practical circumstances. Too often is one faced with the sudden necessity of applying practically what has seemed easy to apply theoretically. The difficult part is not to know what to do under a certain set of circumstances but to determine when these circumstances exist. A training film on this subject would go a long way toward eradicating this difficulty."

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

This U.S. Army indoctrination film "Military Courtesy" is primarily about the importance of the salute in the military. The modern western salute originated from French knights. This film opens as cadets undergo drill exercises (:13). Attendance is called (:20). Cadets are ordered to fall out for mealtime (:39). Two cadets break off mocking the drill sergeant (:39). The drill sergeant calls the pair as they smoke (1:13). He sends them to his quarters (1:20). He questions them on their behavior; Underhill was witnessed sparking a cigarette for Williams (1:59). He admits to hearing the boys mock him (2:08). The salute is compared to simple courtesies such as opening a door for a peer or sparking another person's cigarette (2:49). He explains of all forms of military courtesy, the salute is the most important (2:53). A man who has been court martialed loses the privilege of saluting (3:20). One of the men complains he doesn't understand the proper time to salute (3:33). The drill sergeant begins instruction (3:52). A pair salutes at six paces from one another (4:18). This gives them the opportunity to return the salute. An officer passes and the soldier salutes (4:24). A private salutes an officer as they begin a discussion (4:54) and again as they part (5:04). One soldier sights an officer approaching, he salutes and the others follow (5:13). How to salute while requesting information is depicted (5:19). The man in charge salutes for the entire group as an officer passes (5:27). The same process is conducted as they move off in formation (5:35). How to salute when holding an object in your saluting hand is discussed (5:58). Another soldier awkwardly drops everything as an officer approaches (6:11). The officer picks up the parcel for him (6:24). The enlisted man demonstrates the proper way to salute with hands full (6:29). It is only necessary to salute a movin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/27b03aba-614d-47b8-afb7-0256a6c3ce3f/a643dab5-1936-4ce9-aa2e-d009585e9226-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5UfAUHrFiph4MgfRDtTeMR</video:player_loc><video:duration>1031</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T19:13:00.253Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iL1UNW1PMcxRicKG9B3wD1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2a1c702c-4170-4d63-841c-fb2257e025a9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ A CEILING ON YOUR HOME! ” 1946 RENT &amp; PRICE CONTROLS FOR WWII VETERANS   PROPAGANDA FILM 18384</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1946 black-and-white film by Pathescope Productions discusses the importance of rent and price control for returning veterans after World War II. It argues that WWII era price controls should be continued now that the war has ended. The sponsor was the U.S. Office of Price Administration. The film begins by showing animals and their family shelters— a bird feeding its fledglings in a nest, bear cubs in a cave, a lion in a zoo cage, baby monkeys, puppies in a kennel. The film then shows footage of enlisted military men from World War II waving to women as a ship pulls out of harbor (1:07). Men in suits come out of a church (1:22); a returning soldier hugs his mother (1:29). Narration explains that men returning from the war faced problems on returning home; veterans are shown searching for jobs, trying to enroll in school, and searching for housing. A “For Rent” sign (1:49). A couple walks out of a six-room brick house and stands in the driveway, talking to a real estate agent (2:25). One returning veteran, Joe, a former private, is shown writing at a kitchen table surrounded by multiple family members; his wife flips through a magazine with baby photos (3:00). The name “Burke” etched onto a mailbox below the name “Thompson” to indicate families sharing a home (3:08). A couple walks down the street; the edges of “Hoffman” and “Sporting Goods” signs are visible (3:15). The couple stops by a jewelers window to look at wedding rings. They stop by a licensed real estate broker with a “Sorry No Rentals” sign in the window. Narration explains that materials that would have gone towards housing instead went to the war effort; military barracks are shown (4:09). A “Queens Price Control Board” sign ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8fd0a4eb-68f0-430c-9321-c7103a274b9a/f181a4ba-6632-4cd9-b21c-6f0f7c445bda-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iL1UNW1PMcxRicKG9B3wD1</video:player_loc><video:duration>726</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T19:17:07.020Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ngXVx9T11S1LvbHr8fubEK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/520b08c1-bcfb-4f27-9d39-67eb1841cacd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE MCGURK WAY" 1952 HISTORY OF FREIGHT &amp; TRUCKING   FRUEHAUF TRAILER CO.

This early 1950's short by Jerry Fairbanks stars Ward Bond, Emory Parnell Jr. and Sr. as well as John and Wade Hamilton (:17).

One in a series of films made by the Signal Corps about Basic Signal Communication, "Field Wire Line Construction" describes how to build a communications wire network in the field. In addition to this series, the Signal Corps produced and distributed thousands of motion picture films during the war. Much of the work included training films such as this as well as newsreel footage and other propaganda aimed at maintaining public and industry support. These brief films today provide a glimpse into what military training and combat was like during the 1940's. 

The film opens over the US Office of War Department seal (:11). It was produced by the Signal Corps in 1941 (:14). The title screen appears over a telegraph (:28). Field wire is pulled out from the spool (:39). The camera pans out to show two men in the back of a jeep laying the wire in a combat zone (:43). Reel units are depicted (:59).

This 1967 safety film by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Mines explains and details open mining hazards and safety measures. Official synopsis: "Accidents involving dump trucks, power shovels, front end loaders, rail haulage, and highrail workers' carelessness, when safety precautions are overlooked, or where unsafe machinery and mining methods are used. Explains why the accidents happened, and then emphatically stresses the correct and safe way of performing various mining jobs to prevent future accident occurrence."

The film begins with a backhoe lifting debris from an open pit mine, possibly a copper mine in a state like Arizona or Utah (2:23) as narration explains that open pit mining exposes low-grade ores that otherwise would be unprofitable. Although many miners believe it has lower risks than underground mining, equipment issues, blasting, loading, transportation, and inclement weather can still pose hazards. A miner steps on a pile of loose rubble, causing an avalanche of dirt (2:40). Bulldozers and cranes move mining debris (2:55). The film shows how one miner, Don Kovach, an ex-Marine, fall victim to a front loader accident when the brakes failed (3:10). A white Chevrolet pickup truck drives to the accident scene (3:57). A group of miners in hard hats load Don into an ambulance (4:21). A foreman takes photos of the accident scene with a Polaroid Land camera (4:45).

This 1960s TV episode of “True Adventure” hosted by Bill Burrud shows Tahiti’s development, especially the impact of industrialization, on the host’s return visit. The show opens with Burrud asking, “What could be more exciting than going to a South Sea island called Tahiti?” A montage of island scenes from French Polynesia follows: waterfalls, hula dancers, hibiscus flowers (1:10).

This film is a silent version of a NASA "Quick Look" documentary about the Gemini Program. The Gemini Program had four main goals: to test an astronaut’s ability to fly long-duration missions, to understand how spacecraft could rendezvous and dock in orbit around the Earth and the Moon, to perfect re-entry and landing methods, and further to understand the effects of longer space flights on astronauts. This film covers the launches of the Titan II rockets, the success of the rendezvous of Gemini VI, manned by Tom Stafford and Walter Schirra, and VII, manned by Jim Lovell and Frank Borman, in 1965, and the following recovery of the capsule at sea.

"Hillman on Safari" is a car advertisement for Hillman cars that takes the form of a reportage on the East African Safari Rally of 1962. A rally is a motorsport competition that often involves days of racing across challenging and potentially dangerous terrain. The East African Safari Rally began in 1953 and is considered one of the world's most difficult races. The film was produced by the Rootes Group, who manufactured Hillman cars, in 1962. The car shown features an Audax body and is likely a IIIc. The Hillman Minx was a mid-sized family car that British car maker Hillman produced from 1931 to 1970. There were many versions of the Minx over that period, as well as badge-engineered variants sold by Humber, Singer, and Sunbeam.

This 1956 black-and-white educational film by Broadman Films, a leading Christian production company, warns of the dangers of excessive drinking, especially drinking and driving. The film opens with a housewife, Claire, drying dishes in a kitchen (0:37) while her daughter, Sue, talks on the phone in the background. Sue says her friend will be coming over and her mother reprimands her for not doing the dishes. Sue says her mother is jumpy. John, Claire’s husband, comes in wearing a suit (1:46) and asks if his wife is ready before they go to the Burtons. John says Claire drinks too much. When John leaves, Claire pours herself some vodka and drinks it; she is startled when her daughter comes in to iron a skirt (3:19).

This post war release, "Burma Victoria" (1946) from the British perspective covers the Burma campaign. It should be mentioned this film contains some politically outdated and offensive terms. A comparable feature showcasing the American viewpoint on the battle is “The Stillwell Road” narrated by Ronald Reagan. This feature, directed by Roy Bolting and written by Frank Harvey was a project of the Army Film and Photographic Unit. The Burma campaign was fought primarily between British and Chinese forces with support from the US forces against Japan, Thailand and the Indian National Army. This feature shows the difficulties faced during the campaign including climate; such a major monsoon, terrain, as well as the effects of diseases such as dysentery and malaria. “Burma Victory” also details the vital role of air supplies. Battles included are Imphal and Kohima, the drive on Mandalay, and the Arakan campaign. Stillwell and the Sino-American Myitkyina Task Force (MTF) get a feature. The documentary begins with an outline on geography, climate and the extent of Japanese conquest. It was produced the British Army Film Unit from material compiled by British, Indian, and American combat cameraman of SEAC (:09).

This 1963 military film introduces civilians and sailors alike to the role of the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Ships and the role it plays in building and maintaining the nation's fleet of ships and submarines. It also showcases the emerging technology, including computers, used in this mission.  Congress established the Bureau of Ships (also known as BuShips) in 1940 - consolidating the Bureau of Construction and Repair and the Bureau of Engineering into one single bureau. In 1966, the Bureau was abolished as part of a general overhaul of the Navy's structure.During this time, the Bureau of Ships was in charge of ship design and construction, from its initial engineering stages to the final stages of construction. In addition it serviced the ships for maintenance and repair as well as de-commissioning and scrapping vessels that had reached the end of their service life. It also undertook research and development efforts to improve the technology used in constructing naval vessels.(00:24) The USS Long Beach, the U.S. Navy's first nuclear-powered surface vessel(01:20) Weapons are fired from the ship(01:46) The USS Lafayette, a nuclear-powered submarine carrying 16 missiles, was launched in 1962 by First Lady Jackie Kennedy(02:08) Footage of a Polaris missile launch(02:32) The USS Enterprise, a nuclear powered aircraft carrier(02:43) The flight deck is shown with planes landing and taking off(03:41) "To Build and Maintain" presented by the U.S. Navy(04:18) The East River is seen in the background of a Navy shipyard(05:06) Footage of Navy shipyards in New York, San Francisco, Norfolk (Va.), and Bahrain(05:45) A Navy engineer works at the drafting board in the Bureau of Ships' office(07:21) ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/105ce277-66ad-4b89-a8b1-262ad393cafc/b6353075-81f9-4dd2-b962-6b5b10b2d66c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/32c8XxGVGcW7uK6h996QDj</video:player_loc><video:duration>1527</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T20:28:58.830Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/994ag2AkJC1dsufpS1vF5i</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/300cba41-28a4-469b-a6e4-addea535805f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" AN INTERCONTINENTAL FLIGHT "  1950s KLM ROYAL DUTCH AIRLINES PROMO FILM   XD86845</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

1950s KLM AIRLINES PROMOTIONAL FILM “AN INTERCONTINENTAL FLIGHT’ 

This is a promotional film "An Intercontinental flight" for KLM airlines that in documentary-style follows one of the airline's intercontinental flights. It's not clear what aircraft is shown in use, but it is likely a Douglas DC-7 or Vickers Viscount. The film showcases the features and amenities of the trip, in particular the alcohol and food served to customers. At the time, smoking was permitted so passengers can be seen smoking onboard. The 11-hour flight would be much quicker with today's technology. Other differences include the smaller cabin size, the formal attire worn by passengers, and the quality of the food served. The film portrays KLM as an elegant airline with a chic and international customer base. A variety of languages and accents are heard during this promotional film. It was directed by Ted De Wit and Gerard J. Raucamp and photographed by Jan Schefer. 

KLM itself is a Dutch airline. KLM stands for "Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij" or Royal Aviation Company. It is the flag carrier of the Netherlands and is the oldest airline still in operation. Currently it flies to over 100 destinations across the world. In the 1950s, the airline expanded their network to include more American destinations and carried several hundred thousand passengers each year.

Shot by a member of the Forcheeimen (or possibly the Forchheimer) family, this 8mm home movie from the late 1940s or early 1940s shows a trip to New Orleans, including footage of a burlesque show. It also contains football games and a family wedding. 

The film opens with slow motion footage of solo women (:04) and pairs on roller skates (:20). A short haired blonde in satin and fur appears before a long drawn curtain at a burlesque theater (1:22). It's a close shot and a dark stage; she peels off her jacket and dress (1:27) and the show starts. Blurry shots show chefs in a kitchen (1:48). Neon lights flash news about the Nazi's threatening to invade -- possibly Poland or the Rhineland (1:53). Two women greet under wide hats (1:57). One woman wears a fat flower on her lapel. Close shots follow pedestrians on the street (2:07). Baton twirlers and the marching band stream onto the green for a football game (2:10).

"Football Forecasts"  is a 1959 TV show episode. "Football Forecasts" was sponsored by Amoco that ran for at least two years under Amoco sponsorship. (Earlier versions of the show may date as far back as 1955, when DuPont sponsored a Frank Leahy-hosted football show.) The series features animations interjected throughout, rapid fire narration and segments of actual football games. This particular episode features notable sports star Frank Leahy sharing predictions about the coming season. It features footage of various teams including the UCLA Bruins, Penn State and North Carolina. It also mentions the late coach Red Sanders who died in 1958; so most likely this episode dates to 1959. The American Oil Company (:13) presents the series; animated advertisements for AMOCO interrupt the episode. It's believed that Rudolph Ising created these brief cartoons.  Frank Leahy the host of the show was a former player, coach, college athletics administrator and professional sports executive. Leahy served as the general manager for the LA Chargers of the American Football League during their inaugural year; 1960. AMOCO was one of the largest producers and marketers of petroleum products in the United States prior to being purchased by BP British Petroleum in 1998.

 The film begins at an AMOCO service station (:15). An AMOCO rep introduces Frank Leahy (:45). The AMOCO advertisement (1:10) boasts an untainted and fine fuel source.  A Ford Fairlane runs down the highway (1:39). A servicing check list follows (1:47). The AMOCO rep and Frank discuss the upcoming football season (2:20). The first game of the season was to be the UCLA Pittsburgh game (2:50). Red Sanders (2:53) is photographed.

Lest We Forget is a 1947 Army Signal Corps documentary-style propaganda film that gives viewers an impression of the fighting during World War II. This last part covers the events from the Battle of the Bulge until the surrender of Germany in May 1945. It shows American soldiers managing the harsh winter of 1944 and several important turning points including the crossing of the Rur and Rhine rivers as well as the liberation of Jülich, Cologne, Koblenz, and Essen. The film also shows the everyday life of the soldiers, including brief moments of entertainment like a “Rhine Rodeo” that they organized.

"TORPEDOES IN ACTION" is a WWII era military training film produced by the United States War Department for the Army Air Forces, and then adapted for Navy use. It was produced by the Army Air Forces Training Production Laboratory and designed for instructional purposes. It gives a basic explanation of torpedoes and guides pilots on how to effectively use these weapons. In addition to featuring footage of the Martin B-26 Marauder, this film provides a glimpse at aerial torpedo warfare in the 1940s. Note: the torpedo shown in use is not specified but is likely the Mark 13 torpedo, the main American aerial torpedo in that era.

Dating to 1941, this short home movie (which has a fair degree of heat-related damage) shows footage shot in the Badlands of South Dakota, and then (at 2:23) shows images of Mt. Rushmore under construction. At the time, the massive project was nearly complete with all four presidents' heads in place. At 3:04, a large winch house is visible atop Theodore Roosevelt's head, which provided power to a bucket system on a cable. At 3:38, the large bucket moves down the winch line, either carrying debris or workers from the summit. Work officially ceased on October 31, 1941. Construction took 14 years to complete; 7 months prior to the shut down of work, sculptor Gutzon Borglum died in Chicago. 

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction.

MAD MEN TYPE  GAG FILM  XD47614</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films? Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This comical gag film was made in the late 1950’s by someone at Conover-Mast, a New York publisher that specialized in scientific and industrial trade magazines. The film, which shows a day in the life of a couple executives including telephone calls, smoking, drinking, golf and lively evening parties, is somewhat reminiscent of the modern television series “Mad Men”. Conover-Mast Publications was founded in 1928 by Burdette Pond Mast Sr. and Harvey Conover Sr.. The film masks a tragedy, because apparently shortly after it was made, Harvey Conover was lost at sea aboard his personal yacht the Revonoc.  Mast continued to run the company after Conover's death. While the film is quite funny, the business itself was deadly serious, and some speculate that the company promoted CIA cover operations while gathering intelligence internationally.  

The film opens with the intersection of East 42nd street and 3rd Avenue in New York City, New York (:14). Well-suited employees step from the Bartholomew Building off east 42nd street (:22). The Conover-Mast Building follows (:38). The office of Conover-Mast appears in bright orange (1:03). CM was known for producing books and technical magazines. It was formed by Burdette Pond Mast Sr. and Harvey Conover Sr. in 1928. The office of B. P. Mast Jr. follows (1:24). Mast appears within rubbing his chin (1:28). He takes up a golf club to blow off steam (1:37). He sinks the ball, smiling for the camera (1:45). Harvey Conover dozes within his office (1:51). Sailboats bob on water (1:57).

We’ve been doing marksmanship training for many days now. It is difficult. But as Suvorov said, “What is difficult in training will become easy in a battle.” (01.00) The Kalashnikov assault rifle is the powerful and reliable service rifle of the Soviet military. Thanks to its design features, it outclasses the best small arms from any other country, including the US. The Kalashnikov works smoothly in any conditions: in the pouring rain, in cold temperatures, in dust. (03.12) Operational characteristics of the rifle: maximum range is 3,000 m; lethal up to 1,500 m; the aiming range is 1,000m; the maximum effective range is 400m; a bullet pierces through a brick wall of up to 15 cm; the rate of fire is up to 600 shots a minute; the effective rate of burst fire is up to 100 shots a minute; the effective rate of fire at single-shot fire is up to 40 shots a minute. (03.58) Main parts of the rifle: the barrel with a receiver, a sight, and a stock. (04.20) Receiver cover, breechblock carrier with a breech plug, a breechblock, a recoil spring, a forearm with gas tube assembly, a trigger and firing mechanism, a foregrip, a magazine, a bayonet knife. (04.46) What could be done to prevent stoppages? A soldier must know the firing techniques. Here are a few of them: firing from a prone position (06.05), from a kneeling position (07.15), from a standing position (07.35). I remember it from school. ‘You’re closing the wrong eye! Don’t breathe when you’re pulling the trigger! You’re a bad soldier, give the schoolkids a chance!’ (09.37) A soldier from our subdivision, Grisha Vekshin, proved to be a good machine gunner. The Kalashnikov hand-held machine gun is the most powerful squad automatic weapon.

This US Navy Department film from 1957, "The Silent Service", provides gripping footage of submarine warfare in the Pacific Theater of WW2. It opens with the tragic sinking of the USS Sculpin. The Sculpin entered a deadly battle with the Japanese destroyer IJN Yamagumo near Truk Atoll. During the battle, over 50 depth charges were dropped resulting in irreparable damages forcing the crew to make hasty decisions and ultimately scuttle the vessel. Captain John Cromwell chose to go down with the submarine.  

The film is missing the beginning and opens abruptly (:08) with the USS Sculpin. Crew members detail being hit with depth charges (:12). These ASW weapons set off a hydraulic shock and high explosive charge. An explosion erupts under water (:15) and the crew reacts below deck. More depth charges burst (:23). Underwater the ship is hit; and it bounces back (1:18). After five hours of rigorous underwater combat, the crew is haggard (1:28). Temperatures within the vessel had reached 115 F. The commander and captain discuss rumors of torture upon capture by the Japanese (1:38). Reportedly; Cromwell and Fred Conway argued as far as whether to remain submerged. The inexperienced Conway wanted to surface and continue to fight.  The order is given to continue the battle with deck guns (1:53). Sculpin surfaces (2:03) and crew members head for the deck guns (2:06). Gunfire rumbles and shells sing through night air (2:17). Two dozen men were killed almost instantly including Conway (2:23). The order is given to scuttle the ship. Cromwell and a shipmate decide to go down with the vessel (2:44). Remaining crew members surface as the submarine goes down (3:12). The Royal Hawaiian Hotel appears (3:52). Stress of patrols were relieved by a program of relaxation approved by Fleet Admiral Nimitz. Waikiki Beach appears (4:09). Soldiers enjoy a boxing match (4:24) and other physical maintenance activities (4:32). Men shoot pool (4:42) ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/66f25599-e690-459a-a878-1fd201f92112/9ce9062b-bc90-4e68-af27-11f6f769c151-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dHj8P3rQxejQYUEPGPe6Tq</video:player_loc><video:duration>1208</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T20:54:28.471Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xebSxUAhQGkBCE7b7L1iQS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1dbb0acf-3fc6-4280-b63c-805b9c208acf.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ IDENTIFICATION OF AIRCRAFT   GERMAN PURSUIT PLANES ” MESSERSCHMITT Me-109 TRAINING FILM  XD86705</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

One of a series of friend or foe identification films made for pilots, gun crews, and civil defense workers, "Identification of Aircraft  German Pursuit Planes" focuses on Germany's Messerschmitt Me 109. This aircraft, also called the Messerschmitt Bf 109, was a single seat fighter aircraft made for World War II. It’s first flight was in 1935 but only became operational in 1937. Mainly manufactured to be an interceptor aircraft, the aircraft eventually became a multitask fighter.
The aim of the film is to identify Me-109 / Bf 109 aircraft. It provides the distinguished features of the aircraft which made it recognizable from different angles. This film teaches the aircraft's characteristics, vulnerabilities, and strengths. Portions of the film are animated, and were probably created by the Walt Disney Studio.

"Discovery" was an American historical and cultural television series produced by ABC News from 1962 to 1971. The program, aimed at children, was first hosted by Frank Buxton and then Bill Owen starting in 1966. Owen traveled to different locations around the United States and world and introduced his viewers to the history and culture of the place. In this episode, which aired in 1967, Owen travels to Staten Island, New York and introduces his viewers to the history of the island and the issues it faces today. He addresses the increased rate of urbanization and its effects on the environment and he also discusses the advantages Staten Island provides to its residents, specifically children, such as the nature and relaxed pace of life. Much of the footage is from the Staten Island Ferry and viewers can see the Statue of Liberty, the newly-opened Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, the abandoned Ellis Island, as well as the bustling Whitehall Terminal at the southern tip of Manhattan.

It opens with the flight into the city on an American Airlines plane, probably a Douglas DC-6.  The film takes viewers down to the ground for scenes around the blooming city and the iconic Sunset Boulevard aka "Sunset Strip", including a shot of Mickey Cohen's famous storefront.

"The Tooth chicken;" a Howard D. Goldsmith creation, is revamped in vivid animation produced by Rick Reinhart Productions. Goldsmith was a prominent psychologist and author known for works targeting the young reader. Reinhart founded the now defunct studio Rick Reinhart Productions and put work forth on two of Disney's “Winnie the Pooh”. The cartoon operates as a fun educational tool for youth to learn how to maintain their own health put forth by the American Dental Association. The “Tooth Chicken” runs around the bar yard bestowing various lessons to children and other animals. This particular episode uses the anecdote of a glutinous hog addicted to junk snacks. Rick Reinert (1925-2018) was an American animator and the founder of the studio Rick Reinert Productions. In addition to his work on two Winnie-the-Pooh projects for Disney during the early 1980s, he directed intros for After School Special and ABC Weekend Special, and was also a producer on Cap'n O. G.

This rare film, assembled by the U.S. Army Air Force from footage retrieved from Germany, shows the Focke-Achgelis Fa 223 Drache or "Dragon". The Fa 223 was a twin rotor helicopter powered by a single 750-kilowatt (1,010 hp) Bramo 323 radial engine powered. The rotors, which were mounted on twin booms on either side of the fuselage, were three-bladed and measured 11.9-metre (39 ft). The Fa 223 was the first helicopter to attain production status, but production was crippled by Allied bombing of the Focke-Achgelis factory, and only 20 were built.

The segment starting at :56 apparently shows events of May, 1944, when an Fa 223 flown by Karl Bode and Luftwaffe helicopter pilot Helmut Gerstenhauer recovered parts from a Drache that crashed while attempting to salvage wreckage of a crashed Do 217. The Fa 223 made 10 flights carrying loads beneath it in a cargo net and setting them down where they could be loaded onto road vehicles. All the major parts of the V11 and the Do 217 were retrieved, and much useful experience was gained. At 1:59, the aircraft is shown lifting a Fieseler Fi 156 Storch. At 5:51, mountain or alpine tests are shown in the Karwendel Mountains in Austria. Two Draches were assigned to the Mountain Warfare School at Mittenwald, near Innsbruck. Numerous landings were made at altitudes of over 1,600 m (5,200 ft) above sea level, plus experimental transportation of artillery guns to mountain troops. When the trials ended in October 1944, a total of 83 flights had been made, with a total flying time of 20 hours. At 9:43, the helicopter is shown transporting wounded troops and at 10:55, moving a light artillery piece and later, trash from a mountaintop base, and a mortar.

This 1971 Coronet educational film directed by J. William Walker looks at the evolution of gender roles in American society. It begins with an unidentifiable person on a motorcycle, who the viewer might assume to be a man -- but who turns out to be a woman when she takes her helmet off. This is followed by continuous interviews with a couple, a construction worker, two men in a suits, a working woman, and the motorcyclist herself. Each give their (very diverging) opinions about the role of men and women in society.

General Motors later offered an option of driver-side airbags in full-sized Oldsmobiles and Buicks in 1975 and 1976, respectively. Cadillacs became available with driver and passenger airbags options during those years as well. GM, which had marketed its airbags as the "Air Cushion Restraint System," discontinued the ACRS option for the 1977 model year, citing a lack of consumer interest.

This short cartoon film illustrates the creation of an oilfield in Southwest Persia (modern day Iran). This film is a Halas and Batchelor Cartoon. Halas and Batchelor was a British animation company that was founded by husband and wife John Halas and Joy Batchelor in 1940 and produced mostly education and propaganda films. The story and direction was done by Allan Crick, and the animation direction was done by Bob Privett.  Official synopsis: Everyone knows that petroleum comes out of the earth, but the question is how did it get there, and what is it made of? The answer to these questions are given simply and accurately in this animated programme. The programme shows how the creatures which inhabited the world about a hundred million years ago lived and died, and how their bones, and those of countless minute sea organisms, collected on the sea bottom where they were covered with mud. The mud, brought down from rivers, became deeper and slowly hardened into rock. The decayed organisms entombed in the rock were in time chemically altered into minute blobs of oil and gas. We see how the oil so formed was contained by a cap of impervious rock, and how great movements of the earth's crust folded this rock into domes beneath which the oil tends to accumulate. Note: This film shared First Prize at the Venice Film Festival, 1950.

This 1960 unclassified US Navy Training Film (MN8772b) goes over the important elements of hub mechanism maintenance. It begins by showing the tests needed to see whether the hub system needs maintenance in the first place, which entails either a pressure test or visual inspection by a diver. This is followed by detailed footage from a dry dock showing how the hub mechanism is removed from the propeller shaft, taken apart, put back together, and reattached to it.

This 1945 film was produced for the War Finance Division of the US Treasury Department as part of a series for the 7th War Loan drive, which started in May 1945. The film encourages people to buy war bonds through a series of messages from leading figures in American life, including Franklin D. Roosevelt (who was filmed close to his death), the presidents of the AFL, CIO, US Chamber of Commerce, and Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. The film also continuously shows dying and wounded soldiers as a reminder of the importance of these bonds. The film ends with a short called “This Could be America” showing US pilots shooting at targets on the ground to show people that war bonds are necessary to ensure that this type of bombardment would not take place on US soil. This film features an early appearance by, and possibly the debut of,  Eddie Albert (later star of "Our Mr. Sun" and the beloved TV show "Green Acres") as a soldier.

This 1972 color educational film by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Mines explains and details different air contaminants and safety measures to protect against them. The Bureau of Mines was established in 1910 to deal with mine disasters, and then expanded to oversee U.S. mineral resources. It was abolished in 1996. The film begins with narration explaining that humans can live only minutes without air; a man falls over the side of a rowboat into a lake (1:11). White smoke from a factory pollutes the air (1:21). While showing a transparent model of a human body with the skeleton visible, narration explains that human brains have been able to overcome most deficiencies by creating machines like bulldozers, planes, and automobiles, but most automobile users don’t protect themselves from dirty air. A man climbs into and drives a red convertible on a dusty road (2:14). A professor shows an experiment to demonstrate the composition of air: he puts a glass lid over a lit candle and the flame goes out, using up oxygen (3:08). He points to a chart showing air’s composition: 20.95% oxygen, 78.09% nitrogen, 0.92% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide, and 0.01% other gases. The professor lowers a lit match into a jar with oxygen; the flame burns brighter; with nitrogen, it is extinguished (4:06). The human body model shows how the lungs take in oxygen to the brain and heart and expel carbon dioxide (4:41). The professor demonstrates mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a mannequin (5:03). He points to a chart showing that air needs at least 16% oxygen to be non-hazardous; mine atmospheres are recommended to have no less than 19.5% (5:20). Men in hard hats work with underground mining machinery (5:52). Children playing in a field hit a baseball out-of-bounds; they go to retrieve it in an abandoned mine, which the film says can be ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c85a187f-951b-41db-b2be-f5b1efe72808/1949ea1f-fcbb-40ba-85e7-d7a55296b0af-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qJWpBdndfQAJz5wiHE6fQG</video:player_loc><video:duration>978</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T21:35:45.626Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hoLYWWh8RtyuNDtSJESNyh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6d2c6f4e-03a3-43bb-8326-fbb59cf6664c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ QUIET WEEKEND IN THE CLOUDS ” 1950s ROYAL AUXILIARY AIR FORCE    DEHAVILLAND DH113 XD26805</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This vintage silver short; "Quiet Weekend in the Clouds" is about the Royal Auxiliary Air Force. The film dates to sometime after July 1948, when the De Havilland Vampire became the first jet aircraft to equip peacetime units of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, gradually replacing the de Havilland Mosquito in this capacity. The film is narrated by BBC radio reporter Charles Gardner. It features a weekend flier and British salesmen named David Waite as he slips off from a long work week as a salesmen for the TSC Birmingham sales office for a weekend in blue skies. David's secretary passes off paperwork at the Birmingham sales office (:23). He tips his hat and makes for the door at the close of the work week (:28); skies in mind. His smart black late 1940’s Austin A40 Devon (:34) heads for the "Country Club". Black hole windows crush against the white stucco building (:42). David trades his civilian hat for pilot's cap (:44). A British jet airliner shoots over the run way (:48). He swings into the 605 Squadron RAF headquarters (:52) in Birmingham. Austin 7's run around (:59) loaded with RAF squadron service men. Paperwork is sifted into "pending" "laugh and tear it up" and "out" (1:12). Pilots discuss prior to an upcoming flight (1:28). Faces of the pilots are zoomed in on (1:35); some are small commercial artists. Ground crews wheel in oxygen tanks in order to service the grounded planes (1:51). A pilot grabs his oxygen mask from his locker (2:15). An archer practices target practice (2:20). A series of De Havilland DH113’s (2:27) stand in a row.

Another man, dressed in an olive drab military uniform, follows behind. The three pose, looking at the camera, in front of an oak tree in the yard (0:33), and then they get into a car by the side of the curb (0:58).

The camera then shows the back of the house, bordered by trees with no leaves (1:25). Three people (an older man with white hair, a younger brunette woman, and a younger man) stand on the house’s back steps (1:34). An older woman with white hair comes up to join them and puts her arm around the older man’s shoulders. Three younger women in skirts and dresses gather next to the older man and woman and look towards the camera, as though posed for a photo (1:54).

This 1960s color film without sound shows scenes from different Volkswagen (VW) dealerships around the United States as part of a promotional film, specifically tracing the journey of one white Volkswagen Beetle. The film opens by zooming in on a map of Maryland with Hagerstown highlighted (0:17). The camera pans around the parking lot of the Sharrett Volkswagen dealership there, then shows employees watching as a white Volkswagen Beetle with its hood up and a wheel missing is lifted onto a jack in the service shop. A toy white Beetle sits in front of a pink sign reading, “On this grand opening day of Sharrett Volkswagen, Inc. we welcome the management and staff to the Volkswagen Dealer Organization. November 18, 1969.” (1:37). The camera then zooms out to reveal that the sign sits on a shelf in a VW employee’s office. The employee opens a VW folder and shows it to another man, another VW employee. This employee points to figures on a graph next to charts showing “Monthly Sales” and “Used Car Sales” (2:01). Men at the table applaud and he sits down. A VW employee in a suit walks past a Volkswagen Bus in the showroom (3:00), asks at a counter, and goes to look at a white VW Beetle on a jack in the service shop.

This 1960s black-and-white newsreel presented by Brunswick Corporation and produced by Hearst Metrotone News Inc. with narration by Marty Glickman brings viewers into the world of the American Bowling Congress (ABC) annual tournament. The film shows footage from the 57th annual tournament, held March 5 to May 22, 1960 in Toledo, Ohio in the Toledo Sports Arena. The film opens with the question, “What’s the biggest participant championship in sports?” while showing other sports— a football game, a World Series, a golf championship, a basketball tournament— but the answer, as it turns out, is the American Bowling Congress tournament, a sporting event held in a U.S. different city each year for competitive ten-pin bowling, with over 30,000 participants. Bowlers roll balls down lanes in sync (0:49). The narrator explains that the ABC tournament is one of the only competitive national events where amateur bowlers can compete against top bowlers like Steve Nagy, a professional bowler from Cleveland. Signs welcome bowlers to the Toledo tournament, featuring Brunswick Black Beauty bowling balls (1:28). Bowlers disembark from a United plane. A billboard advertises the 57th annual tournament (1:54). Signs for the Hotel Secor and Hotel Commodore Perry welcome bowlers as pedestrians cross a city street (2:07). Men (the tournament was all male) mingle in the hotel lobby. A “Las Vegas Bowl Dusty Springston” bag (2:21); bowlers in coonskin caps shake hands (2:34); a “Portland Oregon wants you in ’64” banner (2:37).

This 1939 War Department Training Film covers essential information for trucks in crossing bodies of water. This is shown in a range of different scenarios by a truck, probably a Corbitt 6x4 artillery Prime Mover with the serial number “USA W0015.” It includes how to cross culverts and bridges through adequate weight distribution, shallow streams, and deep streams. The truck crew also demonstrates the different preparations that need to be made each time, with them being particularly extensive in deep streams where the whole engine has to be waterproofed.

This 1950s educational film by Riviera Productions is presented by the El Paso Fire Department and the El Paso Association of Insurance Agents looks at the different work that firefighters do. It begins with the rigorous training that fire fighters go through. This is followed by some of the jobs they do beginning with more informal things like helping cats off trees and people that have gotten stuck. The other jobs besides firefighting include ambulance services and conducting inspections of buildings to ensure fire safety.

“Blue Goose Tales: Navel Oranges” (0:08) is a silent film on the navel orange – its history in California, and how they are grown and harvested. It is especially interesting because it contains historic footage of Mexican-American agricultural workers, or possibly seasonal Mexican workers, at the 19:00 mark. The film dates to an era when much of Southern California was still citrus groves. Blue Goose was a citrus packing company established in Riverside in 1906. Blue Goose products were distributed by American Natural Foods, Inc. of Los Angeles. This film is likely to have been produced in the 1940s as part of their marketing efforts.

The film opens with California’s snow-capped mountains (0:40), and the frothy waves of the Pacific Ocean falling upon dark rocks (0:56). Spanish missionaries arrived to establish Catholic missions (1:32), planting orange trees in their gardens. Eventually, these missions became deserted ruins (2:35), but the orange trees still thrive (2:53). A sign marks the “PARENT WASHINGTON NAVEL ORANGE TREE” (3:38) a tree grown by Eliza Tibbets in Riverside, California, in 1873 and (3:48) an historical landmark.  The ranch in Corona, California: the “BLUE GOOSE” stamp (4:29); flowering plant varieties on the ranch (5:00); people working under a grand tree (5:38). A tractor hauls a vintage disc harrow (6:13); two mechanics work on it (6:28).  From 6:54, a man demonstrates how to graft buds onto rootstocks. He peels back the bark of a flowering green branch (7:08), wedges it into a cut in a root-stem (7:13). They are bound together (7:22) in a successful bud graft (7:35.) The young trees (7:39) will soon bear fruit (7:51). Barren trees are cut back and grafted with buds from pr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0afe3a94-e6a3-44c0-8ba8-a867ae055129/b7443c5d-fab1-47fd-a8b8-9a3d3308fa1c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2mJxbK8N8a2V8SrkGKCsKT</video:player_loc><video:duration>1807</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T21:55:03.224Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oLeGTNYiK4QGXveus4Z2RF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7898e567-4b4c-4698-b8be-3947a82054ee.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" ACTION HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WAR " U.S. NAVY AT BATTLE OF SANTA CRUZ   SS JOHN BURKE EXPLOSION  78334</video:title><video:description>View our Amazon store here: https://amzn.to/3XQHsVD

Telenews presents this short WW2 combat film, "The Navy at War". It's a silent film, which seems to indicate that it was sold to the home market. Telenews originally ran from 1948 to 1949, producing fifteen minute segments similar to this one. (A later iteration ran 1954 – 62 as a syndicated newsfilm service for television.) Highlights from the Pacific theater are presented in black and white. The film captures scenes from the Battle of Kula Gulf and the Battle of Santa Cruz. Kamikaze planes race for aircraft carriers and shells sing through the air in the night. The film concludes with the somber ceremony for Loyce Edward Deen as he and his aircraft are buried at sea. These images were photographed by the combat cameramen of the US Navy (:26).  

Pearl Harbor -- aftermath footage of ships and black smoke on the water (:48). Footage follows from the Battle of Kula Gulf (1:03). In 1943, Japanese troops landed at Vila. U.S. and Japanese ships entered combat off Kolombangara in the Solomon Islands. Long range guns flash in the night (7:15). The Battle of Santa Cruz (1:34) follows in October of 1942. This was the fourth aircraft carrier altercation in the Pacific campaign. Ground support runs towards the camera (2:27). A Japanese bomber comes under fire as a wing is blown off (2:36) and sinks into the water (2:45). The B5N2 Type 97 carrier attack aircraft (3:07) dodges bullets. Fighting vessels are light up only by the bright white hot shells shooting through the night sky (3:14). An F4U Corsair loses a wing as it attempts to land on the carrier deck (4:17). A Hellcat lands too hot and crashes (4:43). A good shot from the side shows the pilot climbing out of the cockpit (4:56). Another sits under waves of smoke and flame (5:21). Ground support and pilot are pictured next to the burning craft (5:31). An escaped missile is flung ac...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b85638f1-e29b-47bc-bfbe-a1b82f2cff3d/0ee6c189-24c8-48bd-826b-d2f3fadbf793-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oLeGTNYiK4QGXveus4Z2RF</video:player_loc><video:duration>876</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T21:54:46.452Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wcokgGEspQm44YeCvNac2o</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b68dbb61-5372-4dcb-8e95-ee18f41d8d7e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LOS ANGELES OLYMPICS 1932 HOME MOVIE at MEMORIAL COLISEUM 87545</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This fascinating 1932 16mm home movie shows the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, beginning with track and field events in the Coliseum. At the 1:36 mark, Japanese athletes are seen. At the 5:30 mark running is seen, possibly the 500 meter. An obstacle course is seen at the 5:41 mark.At the 9:00 mark, boat racing is seen including what appears to be crew races. Equestrian events are seen at the 10:00 mark. At the 11:20 mark, swimming is seen at the swim stadium with its elaborate pools and diving boards.The 1932 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the X Olympiad, was a major worldwide multi-athletic event which was celebrated in 1932 in Los Angeles, California, United States. No other cities made a bid to host these Olympics. Held during the worldwide Great Depression, many nations and athletes were unable to pay for the trip to Los Angeles. Fewer than half the participants of the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam returned to compete in 1932. Even U.S. President Herbert Hoover skipped the event.The organizing committee put no record of the finances of the Games in their report, though contemporary newspapers reported that the Games had made a profit of US$1,000,000.

Dating to 1972, this brief, silent film promotes the then-new Digivue Panel, which was one of the first functional plasma panel systems.  Digivue (seen at 1:00 of the film in an equipment rack) was an innovative, electronic editing and display system developed by Owens Illinois. It was suggested as a replacement for the standard cathode ray tube with an 8.5-inch sandwich filled with gas plasma. A matrix was formed between the glass sheets, consisting of metallic conductors. Used in conjunction with a computer, alphanumeric characters were formed by signals from a keyboard. According to an article about the system, "Copy is punched into the computer and then can be called up on the Digivue panel for revising and editing from the keyboard." According to the film some suggested applications would be for use on calculators, cash registers, telephone and computer terminals, information management systems, medical data systems, inventory scheduling, point of sale devices and more.

This twelve-minute sales film was produced for Chevrolet in 1954 by the Jam Handy Organization to show the changes in car purchasing since WWII. It features William " Bill " Frawley from the I Love Lucy TV show. Your Chevrolet dealer presents, “Shopping Around”. The movie opens with words rolling up the screen: “Successful selling today is largely a matter of point of view. Salesmen can learn points of selling techniques and memorize ways to overcome objections. But without the understanding that a selling situation is primarily a human situation, sales techniques lose much of their effectiveness. Too often a sale is lost today because this matter of human relationship is forgotten or overlooked. It is to remind all of us that successful selling is always done on the human level of mutual interest and understanding that this picture has been developed.” The purpose of this movie is to show how shopping trends have changed and that the consumer is in greater control of his purchasing power than in times past. Another purpose is to demonstrate the bad selling habits of immoral or poorly trained salespersons and then juxtapose them against the selling habits of those working at Chevrolet – salespeople who put the customer first. The movie opens in a bus station with two women sitting on a bench 1:05. A woman is taking a survey and approaches a man and they talk 1:33. The man proceeds to answer the lady’s questions about shopping habits. He recalls a time when he tried to purchase a water softener and the movie flashes back 2:27. The movie comes back to the woman taking the survey 3:24. The story continues and the man tells a story about buying a lawnmower. The movie flashes back 3:32. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3d3c7a09-a455-4fd0-8bb5-51523f387dcf/1aad19ae-a4b2-49bc-b6af-ebb9d49d406f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8yzAFo3EnBj2a5oFebFMKD</video:player_loc><video:duration>717</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T21:57:25.641Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/g41PWPX5JX69gD3H4v3imu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/62003862-788f-4a19-812c-37f1c9d61e51.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ WHO GOES THERE?

Narrated by Frank Graven and directed by Edgar Peterson II, “Harvests for Tomorrow” (1941) is a black-and-white public service film made by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that encourages farmers to use limestone and phosphate treatments to achieve healthy soil. It's somewhat typical of films made in the post-Dust Bowl era, in that it attempts to educate farmers about proper techniques of farm management to prevent erosion and depletion of soil quality. Featuring music played by the National Symphony Orchestra conducted by John Alden Finckel, the film tells the timeless story of New England farmers who have tended to the land since the time of the Pilgrims. Due to over-farming, the fields that have been farmed for many years are no longer fruitful and are causing farms to close. Luckily, local politicians and scientists join forces to discuss solutions.

Note: sound effects were added to this film for your listening enjoyment. The original home movie is silent.

This extraordinary reel of Kodachrome home movies documents fan trips made by railroad booster clubs in Southern California in the late 1940s. At the time, the steam era was on its way out, and steam locomotives were sharing the right-of-way with diesel electrics and turbine powered locomotives. The film begins on December 5, 1948 at Union Station in Los Angeles (:36) as a booster train departs the platform. At :50 an in-bound Union Pacific passenger train passes by. At (1:05) the East Los Angeles train station, Located at 5480 Ferguson Dr. in Commerce, is visible. At (1:08) a glimpse of the steam locomotive pulling the booster train. At (1:24) while waiting on a siding, another UP streamliner diesel passenger train passes by. At (1:50) a Union Pacific steam locomotive #7852 crosses a concrete trestle. At (2:03) a semaphore drops as the train comes by. At (2:07) cabooses are seen in a storage yard. At (2:20) the San Bernardino Santa Fe Depot -- a station with a distinctive roof is visible, followed by images of the locomotive tender taking on water. At (3:13) the train arrives at El Cajon. At (3:59) a Consolidation Line type locomotive or "C-Line" type. (This was a series of diesel-electric railway locomotive designs produced by Fairbanks-Morse and its Canadian licensee, the Canadian Locomotive Company.)

This short home movie shows a trip to Mexico City by passenger train sometime in the late 1930s or early 1940s. The film starts with images shot out of a train car window before showing crowds of vendors trying to sell wares to tourists (:44) aboard the train. The train cars appear to be part of the Southern Pacific Railroad of Mexico. At (1:11), mules are shown with packages that are loaded on the train. At (1:24) mariachis pose for the camera. At (1:55) street scenes in what is probably Mexico City, with large crows visible at a market (2:00). At (2:03) pottery is sold on the street. At (2:13) an Indian woman walks towards camera with a child wrapped around her chest. At (2:20) what appears to be the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. At (2:31) images of the pyramids, Ciudad Prehispánica de Teotihuacán. At (4:29) views of urban Mexico City as seen from the outskirts. At (4:53) images of a parade and celebration complete with fireworks and people wearing elaborate masks. They are dressed as soldiers and have a mock battle. It's possible this is the Carnival of Huejotzingo, which takes place in the Huejotzingo municipality in the state of Puebla. It is noted for its unique traditions which center on the reenactment of stories related to the municipality's history as well as the use of tons of gunpowder used in handcarved muskets in mock battles and other events. The carnival involves the participation of 12,000 residents in costume, most of which are dressed in outfits related to elements of the armies that fought in the Battle of Puebla.

This 1970s color training film is part of a series produced by the Attorney General’s Office for the State of California with grants from the California Council on Criminal Justice and the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration United States Department of Justice. It presents vignettes of potential officer situations and asks after each scenario whether the officer can 1) be sued for what he did, 2) have to pay for a lawyer, and 3) have to pay damages. The film opens with a Los Angeles Police Department LAPD police car -- appears to be a Ford Galaxie -- driving down a California city street and through a tunnel; a voiceover explains that the California Penal Code gives officers peace officer status state-wide, but is limited outside of department geographical limits. The Hotel Californian (3:06), a Gulf gas station (3:14). The video explains that officers can be sued and usually their employer will be financially liable if it was under scope of employment, except if the act was fraudulent or personal. The camera zooms in on Officer Miller’s face behind the wheel (3:37). OWL and Coca-Cola signs (3:57). Scenario 1: The police car makes an abrupt U-turn (4:16) and collides with another car. Bob Hale, cartoonist, draws a cartoon of the accident (4:44) and says because Miller was under the scope of employment, he can be sued, but will not have to pay out-of-pocket (5:58). Hale draws a Code 3 (lights/siren scenario) and says in this case, Miller cannot be sued. Miller gets out of his car, wearing a black uniform, and hits the driver he collided with in the face (6:55). Hale draws a punching cartoon and says Miller can be sued but the public entity (his work) will pay damages; Miller is responsible...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/17626e27-abb6-4c1c-b3eb-b865d632ff41/82d76b27-dc23-48bb-a7c5-af55e0ae95c1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3TtWHrp7FY5aMWqtEY2aYD</video:player_loc><video:duration>1414</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T22:57:03.955Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bB4G2ZXJ382JGMfYyU3zDR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/901df8a5-cb9b-4ff2-9f3c-ba5c2d3415c1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>” SEASHORE ODDITIES ” 1942 MARINE BIOLOGY EDUCATIONAL FILM   JELLYFISH &amp; STARFISH XD86905b</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Coelenterata hollow-bodied animals, Echinodermata spiny-skinned animals, Mollusca soft-bodied animals, and Arthropoda animals with Jointed Feet are explained with close-up footage of collected specimens in aquariums at the Hopkins Marine Station. (Note: portions of this film were likely used in the Rachel Carson film "The Sea Around Us", which had a special thank you for William Oliver in the credits.)

This 1970s film "Access" delivers a lesson on computers, software and networks for the uninitiated. At the time it was made, computerized information systems were beginning to solve  the perceived issue of overabundance of information. Some of the computer software programs explored in the film is Lockheed’s DIALOG information retrieval system, the “SPIRES II” system at Stanford and the “LEADER” system at Lehigh University among others. The social impact of these programs is explored as well as other examples of computer equipment and terminals.

An example is provided about how a doctor might have to search through thousands of medical documents (:51). The film was created by John Hunt (1:30) and produced for Professor Ed Parker of Stanford University. An array of tools appear in montage (1:40).  Originally computers were created for computation beginning with the “father” of the modern computer; Charles Babbage.  A haystack appears as the ‘needle in the hay stack’ is used to compare the issue of finding information (1:56). A Durr Crane makes the job easy (2:05) similarly as to how a computer might. The camera moves down a row of books in the San Mateo County California library (2:38). The DIALOG system is put to use at the Office of Education (2:44). A researcher plops at a desk with a desktop terminal and rotary telephone (2:51). DIALOG; developed by Lockheed Palo Alto Research Laboratory in 1966, was offered commercially in 1972. Images of the Earth’s surface appear in microfiche form (3:39) retrieved from a NASA satellite. These are researched using a microfiche film viewer (3:47).

This 1964 black-and-white educational film is the sixth episode of the Spectrum series from the National Educational Television Network (NET). This pioneering program details the symptoms, behaviors, and early treatment methods for children with autism, focusing on two children, Marty and Peter, who are part of a pilot study by Dr. Frank Hewett at the Neuropsychiatric School at UCLA. The film begins with Peter and Marty playing alone in a kitchen/schoolroom at the Institute (1:16). Marty, the more severely affected child, rocks back and forth, jumps, and makes repetitive tapping movements while pouring sand out of a cup. The narrator says an autistic child lives “in a world of his own making.” (1:51). Peter vocalizes, writes his name on a chalkboard, (2:11) and uses a pencil sharpener (3:04). Marty flaps his arms and repetitively throws a stick on the floor (3:09). Dr. Hewett leads Marty into a 2-way teaching booth to try to teach him how to speak (3:53). At 4:10, Dr. Hewett explains his method of providing rewards or punishments based on whether a child follows directions, in a similar style to early Applied Behavioral Analysis techniques often used with autistic children. Dr. Hewett gets Marty to clap and touch his nose by imitating and repeating the behavior, rewarding him with candy when he does so (5:18). At 6:48, Dr. Hewett tries to get Marty to say a sound he makes spontaneously, “B-B-B,” by repeating the sound and offering him candy. At first, Marty only responds to avoid punishment when Dr. Hewett turns off the lights (7:15), although he later speaks without the lights off as punishment (8:04). At 8:17, Ethel Rabb, a female teacher, counts to six while working to get Peter to write the...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/db31a7f0-798e-42d7-be53-bae42e414d3c/c9ee7ff0-2a98-437a-960f-43939956b2c6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/t4TpCd1sjzJdSVRj3g6LZJ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1275</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T23:15:10.282Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gHQyo3arCJMvAmXGyVE2Ur</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e473eaf4-cde8-48fe-bc9e-f0ce462ee2c4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ TODAY THE INFORMATION EXPLOSION: TOMORROW. . . ?” 1977 EDUCATIONAL FILM   MEDIA, COMPUTERS SM10015</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

These silent, color film "dailies" portrays what appears to be a Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) review and decoration ceremony involving the attendance of the former leader of the Army and then Defense Minister of South Vietnam Trần Thiện Khiêm. Many members of the U.S. Army, including officers, as well as what appear to be U.S. embassy staff, are visible in the material, and U.S. Army officers are decorated in the footage. This material  dates to the Vietnam War and was donated to Periscope Film by retired U.S. Army combat cameraman David Plenn.  Plenn put a group of films into a box as his tour of duty was ending, and shipped them back to the United States. These films included both material he'd shot as a cinematographer for the Army, and materials shot by other combat camera staff. The films remained in storage for three decades while Plenn pursued a successful career as a Hollywood cameraman. In the 2000s he donated the films to Periscope Film in hopes of having them preserved and made available to the public.

The film covers such topics as traffic patterns, key landing factors such as wind and drift, cross-wind landings, power landings, and reviews common errors made during landing. The film opens with an aerial shot of an airfield (00:43). Trainees share their definition of “landing” with their training officer (01:28). The officer explains the landing pattern to the trainees using a blackboard to draw the pattern; then he writes the five factors that should be considered during every landing approach. The officer explains how crosswinds impact an approach. Animated graphics are used to show how a plane reacts to some of these factors during a landing approach (09:17). A pilot flies a BT-13 (10:40) and prepares for a landing approach. The pilot demonstrates how to look around for other planes, then he turns into the base leg and decreases altitude, landing on a runway (14:01). Several other clips show BT-13s landing, including a plane approaching a runway with another plane below. The training officer shows the trainees photographs of crashed planes from unsuccessful landings while reviewing the mishaps from making common errors. A plane pulls out in front of another plane on the runway (17:55) and has to break hard, putting the ship on its nose. The officer and trainees go out to the runway to watch planes land (18:43), including a plane bouncing on its wheels as it lands. The film shows a pilot in a cockpit opening the throttle, trimming ship by reducing flaps in order to fly through a potential landing on his way to make a second landing attempt (21:35). A trainee climbs into a BT-13 (24:00); the film then shows the trainee preparing for a landing by going through the proper steps for a landing approach. He turns the plane into the base leg, watching out for another plane in his airspace.

This Sinclair Refining promotional film, likely from the early to mid-1950s, is an advertisement that takes the form of a 14-minute film about a disagreement between friends. When one friend accuses the other friend of selling him a car that's a lemon, the friendship turns sour. However, he soon learns that if uses Sinclair gasoline and motor oil, the performance of his car will be much improved. The car's mechanical issues were not about the car itself but about the fuel he was putting into the car! The film explains the great features of Sinclair "Power-X" gasoline and "Triple-X" motor oil. Sinclair Refining Company was an American oil company that made many promotional films such as this one during the 1950s. Prior to 1961, "Power X" was the company's brand for high-octane fuel and "Sinclair H-C" for regular gas.

(00:10) Sinclair Refining Company presents Perfect Partners. Produced by Wilding Picture Productions, Inc.
(00:53) A group of friends joke around and chat after a round of golf. The foursome is now good friends but the friendship almost dissolved at one point because of a misunderstanding.
(02:17) One of the friends' cars overheated and accused his friend of selling him a "lemon," or a bad car.
(02:56) The friend responds that it is his fault for not taking better care of his care. He should have known to not put high-quality gasoline or oil into his car.
(05:32) A different friend takes him to the airport to illustrate the importance of putting good fuel into vehicles or airplanes. They watch as Sinclair Aircraft fuel and oil is used to service an American Airlines Douglas DC-6.

This 1960s Technicolor educational film by RHR Productions and BP Film in association with the Film Producers Guild presents an interview with Stirling Moss, later Sir Stirling Moss, a British Formula 1 / Grand Prix race car driver. Stirling Craufurd Moss OBE (1929 – 2020) was an inductee into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, who won 212 of the 529 races across several different motorsports competitions.  Moss is interviewed by BBC commentator Raymond Baxter. 

The film opens with a view of the Goodwood racetrack, where Moss had a near-fatal accident in 1962 and ended his race career in 1963. Racecar noises are heard over the speaker as the camera pans around the stands (1:20). BP and Dunlop advertising is visible on the track sides. Moss exits a car that drives through the racetrack gates (2:17). Moss and Baxter, wearing grey suits, sit on opposite couches for the interview (2:57). Baxter asks what attracted Moss to motor racing. Moss shows him black-and-white photos of his first hill climb at Prescott in 1948 (3:32). A photo of Moss’s family (3:52). They talk about other drivers with Moss at the beginning of his career: Peter Collins, Ken Wharton, Mike Hawthorn. A race official waves a black-and-white checked flag at the finish line (4:17). The interview shifts to Moss’s Hersham &amp; Walton Motors (an Aston Martin business) days, when he joined John Heath as a professional driver. A race official holds up a 2-minute sign to the crowd (4:37). Moss drives an HWM at the Daily Express International at Silverstone in 1950.

"The Armed Forces Special Weapons Project: Self-Preservation in an Atomic Bomb Attack" is a 1950 military educational film designed to instruct soldiers on the steps to follow if an atomic bomb is detonated in the United States. Many of the guidelines were also viewed as applicable and instructive for a general audience and civil defense. In the film, simulations help illustrate what to do in such an event. Animations also assist viewers in understanding what radiation is and how to properly shield themselves from radiation, whether they be situated indoors or outdoors during the blast. Note: this film was made in an era prior to the testing of the first h-bomb in 1951. The hydrogen bomb made most if not all of the advice shown in the film instantly obsolete. 

The film was produced by Cascade Pictures of California, Inc. in 1950 and is one of a series of motion pictures produced for general information on the subject of atomic weapons defense.

The Armed Forces Special Weapons Project was responsible for the military's nuclear weapons from 1947 to 1959. In addition to supporting testing and field operations, the agency supported training and preparedness efforts.

The final day of the races was attended by more than 200,000 people.  The film was likely sponsored by the Kendall Oil Co. 

The movie begins with shots of the raising of the Stars and Stripes at the start of the races, along with the National Aeronautic Association flags. At :39, U.S. Marine Corps aviators in biplanes fly into the event in formation. These are probably Great Lakes BG-1 airplanes,  large two-place dive bomber biplanes. At 1:08 the Bendix Trophy Race is shown, with participants at the start at Union Air Terminal in Los Angeles (today's Hollywood Burbank Airport). Frank Fuller, the winner of the Bendix, is shown as well as Frank Sinclair. Both flew modified Seversky P-35 aircraft. At 1:47, Fuller is shown making a test flight. At 2:28, Fuller's aircraft is shown. At 3:02, a Sundorph A-1 “Special” airplane belonging to Sundorph company founder Eeler C. Sundorph is shown.

This 1950s color training film written and produced by David Bowen and Charles Palmer for Bell System by Jerry Fairbanks' Parthenon Pictures, follows a telephone operator named Billie Meade as she works for Bell System, one of the largest North American telecommunications companies. The film is framed around finding “an answer for Linda,” another employee and high school friend, as to why Billie is so efficient. The film starts with Billie’s husband dropping her off at work, where she enters through an “Employees Only” door (0:49). She gets a coffee and sits with other white female operators at a table (1:24). Some of Billie’s calls are shown: a mother in a green and white dress reading a letter from her daughter (1:41); a field engineer in a shirt and tie sitting at a desk; an elderly woman in a wheelchair putting a pill bottle on a table; a real estate lawyer sitting across a desk from a client (2:00); a telephone salesman exiting a phone booth to talk to a hotel clerk. Linda asks Billie for advice handling the mark sense signature and how to be better at her job (3:03). Mark sense technology developed by IBM allowed cards marked with a pencil to be converted into punch cards. These were necessary before automatic exchanges since operators had to route calls by connecting switchboard cords to the proper circuit to complete long-distance calls; they marked relevant information such as the caller’s name, address, and area code on mark sense cards. Billie sits at her switchboard wearing a headset (3:48) as a voiceover enumerates tips to be faster, such as having the cord ready to answer a signal operator, marking numbers as the customer gives them, and multitasking. Billie puts her hea...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7f5b03ac-a1e9-43a3-b07f-232226d3f09e/e0f33b66-5056-4935-902b-fb8ec7745433-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gJ8BYkPDHnsnN8PuVv9tjf</video:player_loc><video:duration>1346</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-05-31T23:42:16.619Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pf52zH2gjEe8KNi9J4ovH2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a7513015-f3c0-4e64-a5cc-b40e00a7ed2b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>APOLLO 11 LUNAR LANDING &amp; NEIL ARMSTRONG ON THE MOON   JULY 16, 1969 (RAW FOOTAGE)  93794</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This 1940s color promo film produced by DeFrenes &amp; Co advertises and explains the manufacturing process for Berkshire Stockings, at that time one of the world’s largest hosiery brands. The company was founded in 1906 in Pennsylvania as Berkshire Knitting Mills. Nylon fabric, which is shown in the film, was invented in 1939, but not used to mass produce stockings until after WWII. 

The film opens with women’s stocking-clad legs going into a building with an “Employees Only” sign. The legs go into a Berkshire Stockings shop, where two brunette female employees wearing black dresses, nylons, and pumps talk. Beige and white stockings line the shelves behind the counter (0:40). The film follows a new employee on her first day at work. The employee places a tan Berkshire stockings box in a paper bag (1:26). A customer, Mrs. Jones, comes in with a run in her nylon stockings and asks to speak to the manager. She wears a black fascinator hat with flowers (3:19). A closeup of nylon stocking loops (3:56), a run in the stocking (4:04) and a snag. The store manager, wearing a pearl necklace and hot red nail polish, folds the torn stockings on the counter and puts them in a “Repair” bag (4:53). She holds a pair of beige stockings; the camera zooms in on her hands. She lays the stocking on the counter and folds it (6:06). The manager points to the stocking parts: the welt, the leg and foot, and the reinforced toe and heel (6:45). The manager unfolds an un-seamed full fashion stocking on the counter (7:12). A graphic shows a ruler next to the gauge for Berkshire Nylon 51 (7:38), a new type of nylon referring to 51 needles for each 1.5 inches of the knitting machine (7:51).

Don Hobart narrates and hosts this episode of "High and Wild", focusing on rock collecting and the Prineville Rock Hound Pow Wow. This annual Pow Wow has now been running for 75+ years. Don Hobart was a pioneering non-fiction filmmaker who helped bring about the start of a genre of outdoor films with the creation of the "High and Wild" series 1961-70. It initially aired in the Portland, Oregon vicinity and eventually aired around the world.  Many modern outdoors and sports shows can trace their origins to this humble series. Prineville is located in Crook County, Oregon, which is considered the rockhound capital of the world. It boasts numerous rockhound sites and mines. Maury Mountain area, White Fir, Bear Creek Butte and Lucky Strike Mines are just a sampling of the areas popular for rockhound enthusiasts.

This incomplete corporate promo film from Pan Am Airways shows how the company built bases across the Pacific, in support of trans-Pacific passenger service. The Martin M-130 is shown, including the China Clipper piloted by famed Capt. Ed Musick. The flight shown was the first commercial trans-Pacific flight, carrying mail to the Philippines; the Martin M-130 China Clipper departed from Alameda on November 21, 1935, and landed in Manila on November 29, 6 days, 7 hours, and 40 minutes later, logging nearly 60 hours of flight time. The aircraft flew the trans-Pacific route surveyed in four earlier flights, with stops in Honolulu, Midway, Wake, and Guam. The flight arrived after 21 hours, 13 minutes of flight time. China Clipper returned to Alameda on December 6, 1935.

The M-130 was a commercial flying boat designed and built in 1935 by the Glenn L. Martin Company in Baltimore, Maryland, for Pan American Airways. Three were built: the China Clipper, the Philippine Clipper and the Hawaii Clipper. All three had crashed by 1945.

The film starts with a meteorologist speaking about PAA's work to chart the weather. At :52, a weather balloon is deployed to assess wind speed. At 1:14, the seven man crew of a Martin M130 Pan Am Clipper are shown about to attempt the longest over-water flight ever attempted by any airline to date. At 1:21, the China Clipper is seen being prepared for the flight. A 1:37, the China Clipper's commander, Captain Ed Musick, is shown. (Prior to his death in an accident in a clipper in 1938, Musick was  chief pilot for Pan American World Airways and pioneered many of Pan Am's transoceanic routes including the famous route across the Pacific Ocean on the China Clipper.)  At 1:42, the Pan Am radio station at San Francisco provides route information; at 1:49 Morse code is tapped out from Honolulu to Midway Island and Wake Island, as well as Guam,...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/60fb387c-9774-47a9-bfaa-1a2b7d01871b/6cb3619e-8ce1-4800-b5a1-de3ac475a474-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cYA9yT7Yy42xziZ4Ryx6XZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>630</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T00:17:04.436Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xrWXDGeuEsEguUd77XeNPD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/84dc7f45-ffdf-49af-a549-2546bebc913b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s TOUR OF HONEYWELL ELECTRONICS MANUFACTURING PLANT   GOLDEN VALLEY, MINN.

This silent, color film footage — almost certainly shot for an industrial film — takes the viewer on a tour of a Honeywell manufacturing plant. It seems likely that this plant was in Golden Valley, Minnesota and that the footage likely dates to the late 1960s or the 1970s. It may show work at Honeywell Aerospace. The film depicts male and female engineers and employees at work across departments, assembling and testing electronic packages. The film lacks descriptors, so it is hard to ascertain what the employees are working on exactly, however, it is clear they are using automated machinery as well as working on projects with transistorized electrical circuit boards and control panels. This is likely because in the beginning of the 1970s, Honeywell began to focus on process controls, with the company merging their computer operations with GE's information systems in 1970, and later acquiring GE's process control business. 

Honeywell Int'l Inc. is now headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. It primarily operates in four areas of business: aerospace, building technologies, performance materials and technologies (PMT), and safety and productivity solutions (SPS).

This film from 1968, produced for Kodak by Goldsholl &amp; Associates, by Tom Freese, Millie and Morton Goldsholl, Byron Grush, Merton Knapp, and Ruth Lewis, expounds the ways in which film and photography allow us to further explore and discover our world.

This brief vintage film features the construction of Radio City Music Hall in New York City off Sixth Avenue. The film was shot by Walter H. Kilham, Jr., a Harvard graduate in the architectural school class of 1928 who obtained a masters degree from NYU in 1930. Kilham worked for the firm of Wallace K. Harrison on the Rockefeller Apartments and the Trylon and Perisphere at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Later he formed his own practice. The Radio City Music Hall was commissioned by John D. Rockefeller, who signed a lease for the large swath of land in midtown Manhattan intended to build a new Metropolitan Opera House. The stock market crash of 1929 led to abandonment of those plans and the use of the land for a different type of entertainment venue. Construction began in 1931 and opened in 1932. It was and is the headquarters for the famed Rockettes. Radio City Music Hall was designed by Edward Durell Stone and Donald Deskey in art deco style. 

This film was captured and edited by Walter H. Kilham Jr. (:13). New York Times newspaper headlines are laid out in letterpress sets, and then the newspapers hit the printing press (:27). Stacks are pulled and sent off to the corner to be sold by city streetwalkers or newsboys (:39). A pedestrian reads a headline about the construction of Radio City Hall in the New York Times (:43).

American boxing in its golden era is presented. Television boomed in the years following WWII, and boxing was at its peak in the 1950's; many of the legendary swingers had participated in the conflict and returned home to the ring. Filmmakers loved sports and boxing was no exception; fights were aired live on the weekends. This film  features sluggers such as Chico Vejar, Clarence Henry, Bob Baker, Lulu Perez, and Willie Pep.

The first match pits Willie Pep against the sprite swinger Lulu Perez on February 26th, 1954 at Madison Square Garden. Boxing became so contagious in American culture it needed its own ring. This is where fighters came for recognition. This fight was shrouded in controversy as it was claimed it was fixed. Pep fought just 5 times in '54 losing once only to Perez. Willie Pep (:10) launches up from his corner. Lulu swings fast at Pep (:13) who throws heavy hits back (:21). Heavy hits from Pep to Perez (:33). Perez toes away from Pep (:42) and sinks one hard to Pep's jaw (:42). Pep goes down (:45). Perez keeps swinging (:58). Perez takes a slug to the face and sinks to his buttocks (1:36); head between knees. The knockdown follows in slow motion (1:44). Lulu stands over Perez (2:04). Willie's back on his feet (2:22), but he’s getting blustered (2:26). The knockdown plays in slow motion (2:43). The ref lifts him; New York Boxing Commission rules three knockdowns in a single round means Willie's comeback is shattered (2:48). Lulu jumps around in his corner (3:05); wounds licked and sweat moped. Bob Baker faces Clarence Henry; November 23, 1951. Baker was on a winning streak until this match. Henry won the 1948 Golden Gloves Tournament and was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 1998. The microphone hangs in front of the announcer (3:22). Baker (3:32) meets with white tr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/da88f99d-4f34-4ede-b93c-109d661fda19/301629a5-2239-4987-82ee-50e15ff9fc6d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sZaGkmg89vZFGuGpK53uUR</video:player_loc><video:duration>1435</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T00:46:28.201Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kRs9LDN5i33mwETG757H9s</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9961e6be-ce70-4c86-8246-40d7a2904461.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“DISCOVERY '66  IRON HORSE IN SILVER PASTURES ” DURANGO &amp; SILVERTON NARROW GAUGE RAILROAD XD30572</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This 1978 film produced by the Chevrolet Motor Division is a guide for car salesmen. It covers how to market Chevrolet's truck lineups, particularly its light pickup trucks like the LUV (Light Utility Vehicle).

This film is particularly notable because of its historical context. In the 1970s, the United States was experiencing an acute fuel crisis that directly affected drivers across the United States. The crisis began in 1973 when OPEC member states imposed an oil embargo on countries which had supported Israel in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. While the embargo was short-lived, it had long-lasting effects on oil prices. This led to an emphasis on fuel efficiency and increased regulation from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which had been established in 1970.

This guide is in part a response to the 1975 Energy Policy and Conservation Act which established Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. As part of these standards' phase-in process, automakers developed more fuel-efficient technologies. 1978 was the first year automakers had to achieve a fleet-wide average of 17.9 miles per gallon.  This video focuses on what this regulation means for the average car salesman. In particular, there is an emphasis on selling light pickup trucks instead of more fuel-costly vehicles.

This silent, tinted 35mm industrial film "Super-Power Service" about the Penn-Ohio System, a power utility that straddled Pennsylvania and Ohio. The film apparently dates to around 1928 and shows some of the utility's plants and distribution infrastructure which "supplies power, heat and light, day and night, to a constantly increasing number of customers in the most rapidly growing industrial area in the United States." At (:43) a map shows the company's service area and Greenville, PA, and notes that "to supply this large territory the Penn-Ohio System operates 5 generating stations and 31 substations." At (1:01) the smokestack of the coal fired P-O Power Plant in Greenville is shown, as well as the plant itself. At (1:24) the Ellwood City, PA hydroelectric power plant on the Ohio River is shown as well as a sub-station (1:52). The dam and power station are apparently visible in the shot at (2:10). At (2:12) the North Avenue Station plant in Youngstown, Ohio, which provided steam heat for the city. (Today it is apparently known as Youngstown Thermal and still produces steam heat and chilling services for buildings and customers downtown.)  At (2:38) Lowellville, Ohio coal-steam power plant is shown, one of the company's main generating stations. At (3:00) some of the enormous coal piles needed to keep the plant in operation are shown.

Produced in 1952 as part of the "For Which We Stand" series of training films, "You Think It's Luck" was produced for the U.S. Navy by Universal. The film is a cautionary lesson, in that it reveals some of the many ways through which crooked gamblers win at games of chance. The film features John Scarne, a magician and author who was particularly adept at playing card manipulation. While he might have worked as a card sharp, instead Scarne refused to gamble and invested time in developing magic tricks and card stunts. Scarne became known as an expert on cards and other games, and advised the U.S. military during WWII, when gambling among troops was a rampant social problem.  Scarne was sent to bases around the world in order to educate soldiers about the dangers of card and dice cheats. 

The film begins with a look at how crooked dice can be used to rig the odds in a game of craps. At (:46) shapes, or shaved or altered dice, are shown with one die larger than the other. Loaded dice are shown at (1:10), which change the odds. At (2:00), a substituted die that has the same numbers on multiple faces is shown. At (2;07) John Scarne is introduced and many of his incredible tricks are shown including simulated shuffling of cards (3:40) and deals from the bottom of the deck. At (4:11) Scarne demonstrates how to cheat a blackjack using the "cheater's grip" to preview the next card in the deck, so as to decide whether to deal it or keep it (4:50).  At (5:43), "second dealing" is demonstrated as Scarne steathfully manipulates the deck to stack it at (6:16). At (6:28) a way to defeat stacking is shown. At (6:51) a simulated poker game is shown with Scarne working as a crooked dealer in league w...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/69065e1c-230c-4761-b4ba-3ae08be9d362/b2776097-e102-4e7d-a7dd-3551ed594adf-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dYcrKpvfw3FjZ3QPFMmgaL</video:player_loc><video:duration>1254</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T01:04:34.423Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vQaDmfCfJK3VUveZXcoXzJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/de1515a0-ce42-4d52-8837-3ff29ebc81c7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s ROYAL NAVY RECRUITMENT FILM   HMS RALEIGH &amp; HMS GANGES SHORE ESTABLISHMENTS  GG43945</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This film "Routes of American Airlines" is one of a series made by the company in the late 1960s / early 1970s. Despite it serving as promotional material for the airline, the company is only mentioned a few times in the nearly 14-minute film. The film provides an overview of three American cities — Detroit, Boston, and Los Angeles — and the features and attractions in each one. At the conclusion of each city's section, the narrator connects an element of the city to American Airlines' presence at that city's airport. For example, when concluding the section on Detroit, he mentions that while the city revolves around the wheel because of the auto industry, nonetheless "when the wheels fall off," people can take American Airlines flights out of the city's airport. Similarly, while Boston is a historic city, its airport is modern and American Airlines operates flights from Logan International Airport. The Brown Derby is an established Los Angeles institution and similarly, so are American Airlines flights from the city.

Sold for home use in stores in Honolulu, this group of short, silent films shows popular views of Hawaii. Most date to before the era of statehood in 1959 -- probably the late 1940s. These films present the image of Hawaii through the American lens accompanied with sleepy ukulele tunes. These images of Hawaiian allure were captured by George Tahara; a prominent filmmaker in the state of Hawaii. In the 1960's the new state was the place to be with crystal blue waters and a rich culture. The film opens with stunning images of surfers riding waves; solo (:39), and in pairs (1:13). A red swim suit clad surfer walks his board to the water (2:34), his pup kicking up alongside. View from the surfboard as the pair ride together (2:48). Credits detail this film was produced by George Tahara in Honolulu, Hawaii (3:22). The next section takes a look at industry on the island. The pineapple and sugar industries (3:31) were the largest employers in Hawaii. Much of the goods were shipped to the US. Sugar cane stalks lay against one another (3:44). Fires blaze amid palms and stalks (3:53). Large stacks of the harvested crop are moved by crane (4:09). Workers at a fish factory send fresh catches through machinery (4:12).

This 1973 NASA report covers the organization's accomplishments and highlights from that year which range from manned spaceflight, advancement in space research and applications of that research. The film features footage of Skylab, an American space station launched in 1973. Several astronaut crews traveled to the station and stayed on it for varying periods of time, demonstrating that humans could survive in space. Also seen is Mariner 10, an unmanned spacecraft that eventually reached Mercury's orbit in 1974. It contains video of the preparations for the launch of Viking 1, which landed on Mars in 1976.

This 1958 film "Okefenokee Interlude" is an advertisement for the new Ford Edsel and it takes the form of a travelogue as it follows an Edsel owner on his vacation to the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. The owner is a physician who is worn out and exhausted from his work and he is in need of a relaxing getaway. He and his wife drive the Edsel to Okefenokee Swamp Park, which feeds the Suwannee River. A local boatman helps the doctor and his wife navigate the swamp. They witness stunning wildlife including an alligator and are treated to an incredible landscape that features unique trees and plants. Then, the pair enjoy dinner with the boatman's family and sing tunes before returning home. The advertisement concludes with the doctor driving away in his Edsel, exclaiming: "Just what the doctor ordered, and I feel great!" The film was produced by the Photographic Department of Ford Motor Company and is narrated by John E. McCarthy.

Ford launched the Edsel brand and division, named after the founder's son Edsel, in 1958 and invested heavily in the new product's marketing and advertising. Despite these efforts, the Edsel was not a success and its launch is considered by some to be one of the most famous failures in industry history. Several factors are blamed for this flop, including a controversial style design, manufacturing issues, and its price during an economic downturn. Ford's marketing created high expectations that the product did not live up to.

This film showcases some of the tactics used in marketing the Edsel. First off, Ford produced many films that were distributed to audiences including travel documentaries such as this one and another travel advertisement "West to the Tetons" that follows a couple on their honeymoon journey to the mountains in Wyoming. Both market the Edsel as key to freedom and adventure.

Pictorial films (:13) presents "Master of the Camera" -- a vintage film from the 1940s on one of the most prolific figures in the history of photography, Edward Steichen. Steichen was born in Luxembourg and later became a naturalized US citizen in 1900. He was attributed with turning photography into an art form. His work was featured in the notable magazine ‘Camera Work’ more often than others in his field during its entire publication. Steichen also served as the chief photographer for Conde Nast magazines Vogue and Vanity Fair from 1923 to 1938. From 1947 to 1961, Steichen served as Director of the Department of Photography at New York's Museum of Modern Art. While there, he curated and assembled exhibits including The Family of Man, which was seen by nine million people.

The film is narrated by a prominent British narrator, Hal Baumstone (:23) active from the 1930’s through the 1960’s. Steichen first appears smoking a cigar, reading a paper and talking on a telephone at (:39). Images follow of Steichen’s portrait studio in New York (:51). His name is etched in stone outside the building (:54). Edward and electricians move camera and lighting equipment within the large workshop (1:00). A woman in an elegant evening gown sways for the photographer (1:18) as he chews on a tobacco cigar (1:21). The dancer works to demonstrate what Steichen wanted from her as a model (1:37). Lights are adjusted (1:46) in a final touch up prior to the shoot. His model lifts her skirt, toeing up the steps onto the stage (2:05). An electric ocelot fan lifts the white gown creating the illusion of motion for the image (2:17). She sways as the group works to captures the images in the photographer’s mind (...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/680037db-8b61-4438-9a93-e72567ccdc57/d8ecbae1-583b-4ef5-9b69-f110e1d9e695-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dQS4JP539Tue1TVD5Vg5Kz</video:player_loc><video:duration>585</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T01:13:48.217Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/a9WZqArDugyKU4fajBqpJS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/43316faf-77b0-45aa-ab60-27e67545c137.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s VINTAGE TRIP TO PHILIPPINES HOME MOVIE ABOARD OCEAN LINER SS PRESIDENT WILSON  XD43534</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This silent home movie was shot by an American visitor to the Philippines in the late 1940s. The tourist shot footage of the SS President Wilson, a passenger ship launched in 1947, which ran a Pacific Ocean route until it was decommissioned in 1970. The film mainly focuses on the Philippines in its first years after independence in 1946. As an American commonwealth, the Philippines was invaded and occupied by Japan during World War II. This film also contains footage of the historic University of Santo Tomas in Manila. The Catholic institution was founded in 1611 and is currently one of the world’s largest Catholic universities in terms of enrollment.

This film dates from 1941 and was produced by Bell &amp; Howell as part of a series of Filmosound Lecture Films. Carveth Wells was a British adventure travel writer and television personality in the mid-20th century. It takes viewers to Panama and the Panama Canal. The film opens with footage of the canal (:33) and a close shot of the locks (:41).

Dating to the early Apollo Program era, this silent film shows mobility tests conducted subjects in  pressure suits. Two versions are shown, one with exterior foil covering and one without. It's not clear which space suit design is shown; although it appears similar to those used in Project Mercury, it could also be a similar, modified version of the Goodrich U.S. Navy Mark IV high altitude jet aircraft pressure suit. A plastic adapter surrounds the middle of the suit, allowing the astronaut to be strapped into a weighted support gantry that can help simulate weightlessness. The tests shown, which must have been grueling for the subject due to the inverted body position, included use of tools and a simulated repair or device installation.

Seat restraints are clearly shown, so most likely this footage represents a test of that system. (Pacific Scientific was in fact sued by a rival company Aerotech Industries, over patent rights to a "inertia-operated safety apparatus for use with body harnesses which automatically functions to safely retain the pilots in their seats during crashes and the like.")

Restraints such as those shown are extremely important in an ejection, as they reposition the pilot's back against the seat to properly position the body during an ejection or crash sequence, reducing the risk of spinal injury. Modern seats such as ACES II and V use a ballistic powered inertia reel (BPIR) for this purpose. At (8:30) and at (9:37), slow-motion footage shows how the restraints operate to pull a slumped pilot backwards to proper position.

"Troop Train" is a 1943 short, morale-boosting propaganda film produced by the Office of War Information that shows how American troops and war material are being shipped via railroad. While the film's assumed purpose would be to educate the American public about the role of railroad transportation of military divisions, "Troop Train" takes a more stylistic approach, with absolutely no narration and little dialogue.The director uses images to tell the story. Footage of rows of war material, troops marching and locomotives are cleverly edited to create a montage propaganda film, something of a rarity in the United States.The film is also notable for its depiction of service men's life on the long trips across the country to unknown ports, and to unknown fronts in the war.  The film begins with images of rows of vehicles including tanks, trucks and motorcycles (:54) before showing the control room (1:17) at a major railroad and staff at the Transportation Corps in Washington D.C.  At (1:47), men speak on the phone regarding the movement of military trains. At (2:1), the Chief of Staff of the Army Ground Forces meet and discuss movement of an armored division. At (2:29) the 201st Armored Division's M-3 Stuart tanks are shown moving down a highway to a waiting train, which is guarded by MPs. At (2:49) rows of flatcars are assembled so that the tanks can be moved board. They are followed by halftracks (4:02) and trucks. At (4:17) chocks are installed so that the vehicles won't shift in transit. At (4:30) Harley Davidson motorcycles and jeeps board the train. At (4:50) the personnel of the division march in formation. At (5:21) the steam engine pulling the vehicles gets underway, while what appea...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a2ed0596-3eba-46a9-93c4-72ead9778f9c/d2804c34-f5b3-46bf-953d-87cd18a7262f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/m7Tzw2fE5CttGSEcnVEEt7</video:player_loc><video:duration>666</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T01:17:26.072Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eYwXyQGnHCmisBHhNzgQw2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/449b8342-fbcf-4535-9c76-4bb65393f2ca.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ YESTERDAY’S NEWSREEL: THE CHACO WAR ”   1932-35 BOLIVIA &amp; PARAGUAY CONFLICT   56034</video:title><video:description>Yesterday's Newsreel was an early TV program created by the Ziv Network, which utilized the General Newsreel holdings shot in 1901-36. The show was comprised of newsreel footage along with modern narration of topics such as fashion, sports stars, news from the war front and cartoonists. This particular feature begins with the Chaco War. This war was fought from 1932 to 1935 between Bolivia and Paraguay. It opens with the riverfront of Paraguay in 1928. The neighboring country of Bolivia sought control of the Parana River (:47). 1929 to 1931 saw armed clashes in the sea port (1:08). Paraguay declared war in 1933. The Paraguayan General Felix Estigarriba (1:20) leads troops to battle. Water is rationed out as it became an essential weapon (1:31). Bolivia divisions fight back with aircraft (1:38). The UN and US combined to settle the dispute. Hot air balloons sit on the beach in Venice, California in 1920 (2:19) ready to be guided by monkeys. The monkeys were representing four nations and were to compete. The American contestants (2:32) precede the British (2:35). Balloons take to the airs (2:41). The film turns to Framingham, Massachusetts in 1919 for WW1 trophies (3:14). German weapons arrive (3:18). The cannon and field pieces are pictured captured from the Kaiser's defeated armies (3:25). They were to be shipped out for use as lawn decorations. A chicken pokes it's nose from a cannon (3:54). In Guildford, England, Sir Philip Gibbs and son Anthony are pictured (4:11). Philip; the notable war author, bends an arrow to fire (4:16). His brother's, Arthur and Cosmo were also great writers. Silent film star Norma Talmadge (4:40) attends a family reunion in Hollywood in 1921. She is greeted by Mayor Cryer (4:48). Her sisters Connie and Natalie appear at her side (4:53). Frank Bacon (5:03) of the play 'Lightnin' was one of the most prominent stage actors. Native Americans found themselves trapped in a New Mexico blizzard (5:27). It was one of the worst in US history.

Boeing was (and is) an American multinational corporation which manufactures and sells airplanes, rotorcraft, rockets, satellites, telecommunications equipment and missiles globally. The film "CH-46A Sea Knight New Weapon System for the Marine Corps" features the Boeing Vertol CH-46A Sea Knight. This is a medium-lift tandem-rotor transport helicopter powered by twin turboshaft engines. This craft first flew in 1958 and over 500 were produced from 1962–1971.  The Sea Knight was operated by the USMC to provide all-weather, day-or-night assault transport of combat troops, supplies and equipment until it was replaced by the MV-22 Osprey in 2015.

The Sea Knight touches down at the Boeing Companies virtual division flight test center (:24). The craft has been set up with special test equipment (:43). High ranking Marine Corp officers (:48) arrive to watch the tests. 300 military personnel also were in attendance (:54). The auxiliary power plant starts the engines (1:11). The Sea Knight lifts up here (1:44). A demonstration of its sideways and rear-way flight follows (2:09). Its payload capabilities are about 4,000 pounds of cargo (2:28). Vertical take offs (2:55) permit take off from confined areas. A combat situation is simulated (3:13). The Sea Knight demonstrates a spiral descent (4:18) as the rear door is automatically opened.

This short film "Round the Works in Four Minutes" promotes the Firth-Vickers Stainless Steel Co and its Staybrite Works in Sheffield, England. It probably dates to the 1950s. The brief tour of the works shows steel plates, sheets, wire and bars being formed, shaped and cooled. Firth-Vickers was a major name in Sheffield's steel empire, and perhaps are best known for the invention of Stainless steel in 1912. The company branded their stainless as 'Staybrite', which gave this works its name. At 2:08, spinning machines that are centrifugal furnaces are shown, initially used in the aircraft industry. At 2:33, automated lines are shown. At 3:10, bright and mirror finish stainless steel sheets are shown.

Firth Brown Steels was initially formed in 1902, when Sheffield steelmakers John Brown &amp; Company merged with Thomas Firth &amp; Sons. In 1908 the two companies came together and established the Brown Firth Research Laboratories and it was here, in 1912, under the leadership of Harry Brearley that high chrome stainless steel was developed. The companies continued under their own management until they formally merged in 1930 becoming Firth Brown Steels. In 1934 the stainless steel business, based at the Staybrite Works, Sheffield, was split off as a jointly-owned company with English Steel Corporation Ltd. and was re-incorporated as Firth-Vickers Stainless Steels Ltd. The company is now part of Sheffield Forgemasters. During the 1970s a market downturn, the Thatcher era recession and labor problems caused several Sheffield steelworks, including St...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7dea225e-6a45-431c-a1d2-b5b74f752868/2d93b1ad-3f2c-44de-88e1-911b1531aeb8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gxP45watQ97RaV6dn7T1Su</video:player_loc><video:duration>268</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T01:22:06.696Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/79uFrJ3ws4yECTv4vS5j8T</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9bf6afc4-ce15-4d7d-86ff-a4235178b2f9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“THE STORY OF BIG BEN” 1945 U.S. NAVAL WORKERS DIGEST   AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS FRANKLIN 22634</video:title><video:description>This film, "The Story of Big Ben", is part of the industrial incentive Naval Workers Digest series. These films were made to encourage workers in their efforts to win the war on the home front. The film shows the arrival of the battered aircraft carrier USS Franklin from the Pacific, and its restoration to fighting condition. The craft; nicknamed ‘Big Ben’ was one of 24 Essex Class aircraft carriers built during the Second World War. It was originally commissioned in 1944. In the Pacific Theater this vessel took severe hits by Japanese dive bombers. The attack resulted in the loss of the ship’s crew; over 800. It was also one of the most damaged vessels to survive the war. However, despite the work done on the Essex class carrier, Franklin (as well as the USS Bunker Hill which was damaged by two kamikazes) did not see active service as carriers after World War II. The Franklin was sold for scrap in 1966.

Produced by Imperial Pictures, this film is part of a series of travelogue films created by Pizor entitled "Port O' Call." "Love's memorial" refers to the Taj Mahal which, as viewers learn in this film, was constructed in honor of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan's wife Mumtaz Mahal.

Shah Jahan was the fifth emperor of the Mughal Empire, which is often referred to as the Timurid Empire by historians and scholars. The rulers were particularly interested in imperial architecture and gardens and many of the sites they commissioned remain famous landmarks today such as the Shalimar Gardens in Lahore, the Red Fort in Delhi and the Agra Fort and Taj Mahal in Agra, Uttar Pradesh.

The focus will be radar, sonar, echo's and how sound is used underwater in order to track submarine locations (3:18). These echoes could pinpoint planes flying in the night sky (3:39). Scientists deduced that sound is the wave motion traveling from particle to particle (3:50). A representation of what sound waves might look like is shown (4:08). The telephone was able to pick up sound waves and convert them into waves of electricity which were able to travel through wires (4:23). However, the farther the waves had to travel, the fainter the sound (4:48). This lead to the introduction of electron tube amplifiers (5:00). During war time, special sounds made by an electron tube device called an oscillator were required (5:18). The sound waves would then cause a spot of light to appear on a cathode ray tube screen (6:05). How high the spot moved showed how far away the object was (7:14). Sonar is used to search for enemy ships (8:52).  Much of the research for the equipment shown in this film was conducted at Bell Telephone Laboratories (10:11). Western Electric Company manufactured the bulk of the equipment (10:26). An artificial ocean created by Bell laboratories is shown (10:49) which was used for equipment testing. More tests are completed on a floating laboratory (11:36) and bombs are seen exploding under water (12:43).

We think you will enjoy this film despite the image problems.

"Flight" was a short-lived TV series that debuted in 1958 and only lasted one year. Hosted by Gen. George C. Kenney, the program focused on dramatic tellings of stories from the chronicles of the U.S. Air Force. Production company California National also produced "The Silent Service" which profiled the Navy's submariners, and "Navy Log". This particular episode, "Destination Normandy" tells the story of two brothers who are best buddies, and improbably -- both are pilots in the same transport unit.  One of the brothers is a glider pilot, and the other a C-47 transport plane that will be towing a glider across the English Channel and into Occupied France. The stakes are raised considerably when the two are assigned to work together for the June 6, 1944 D-Day invasion. While highly fictionalized, the episode provides an interesting look at Waco CG-4 operations and training in WWII. This episode was written by John Hawkins and directed by Jean Yarborough. The cast includes Tom Brown, Joe Flynn, George C. Kenney (as General George C. Kenney, host of the show), Wesley Lau, William Phipps and Bobs Watson. Cinematography by Archie R. Dalzel and editing by Henry DeMond.

This silent stock footage reel gives a brief look into President Lyndon B. Johnson’s life during his term of office. Some of the footage is from White House pool news sources, while other material was shot by official White House photographers and is essentially LBJ "home movie" footage. LBJ was the 36th President serving during the years of 1963-1969. He originally served as the Vice President under John F. Kennedy until JFK’s assassination in 1963. The footage is spliced a bit with intermittent blank slides. It still does an amazing job at contrasting the luxurious side of life as the American President; taking calls by the pool with wife and equipped with a poolside attendant; versus the stressors, mounds of paperwork to be signed and passed off and the constant shuffle from city to country meeting the press and the people. 

The film begins at LBJ’s Ranch known as the Texas White House. He is pictured swimming in the pool with his two beagles he called “Him” and “Her” (:29). He takes a call while relaxing on lawns chairs (1:08). He and wife; Claudia Alta Johnson, return to the pool for laps (1:20). Bleached aerial footage shows bombs cascading and popping across Vietnam (2:06). Civilians wave welcome signs for the President’s arrival (2:52). Hands stretch and reach frantically to shake LBJ’s hand (2:58). He spins away from the camera with two neat soft serve ice cream cones (3:17). The film flicks to a birthday party for the president (3:23) as he lays a brown sweater against himself showing his approval for the gift (3:59). Guests sit cross legged or kneeling on the ground passing Lyndon gifts (4:25). Night falls as he shakes hands with flashing cameras and news reporters (4:36).

“Microworld with William Shatner” (1976) is a color, educational and promotional film made by AT&amp;T about the future of microprocessors. Canadian actor William Shatner, best known for his role in Star Trek, walks the viewer through solid state technology and the art of the integrated microcircuit. Additionally, he underscores the importance of silicon in this technology and how the invention of the transistor paved the way for modern technology. 

The history of AT&amp;T dates back to the invention of the telephone. The Bell Telephone Company was established in 1877 by Alexander Graham Bell, who obtained the first US patent for the telephone, and his father-in-law, Gardiner Greene Hubbard. Bell and Hubbard also established American Telephone and Telegraph Company in 1885, which acquired the Bell Telephone Company and became the primary telephone company in the United States. This company maintained an effective monopoly on local telephone service in the United States until anti-trust regulators agreed to allow AT&amp;T to retain Western Electric and enter general trades computer manufacture and sales in return for its offer to split the Bell System by divesting itself of ownership of the Bell Operating Companies in 1982.

This 1958 promotional film made by Jam Handy for Chevrolet features Pat Boone, the crooner and one-time spokesman for the brand, as Boone's well-groomed, clean-cut, boyish image won him a long-term product endorsement contract from General Motors during the late 1950's, lasting through the 60's. Boone sung the praises of his product as "See the USA in your Chevrolet...drive your Chevrolet through the USA, America's the greatest land of all!" Boone stated that he first was given a Corvette from the Chevrolet product line, but after he and wife started having children, at one child a year, GM supplied him with a station wagon as well.Boone, who has endorsed an indeterminate amount of products and services over the course of his career, has said that more people identified him with Chevrolet than any other product.

This film begins with Boone saying: "I asked the Chevy folks, What's New? You should have seen their expression. "What's New" they said. "Everything! That's what." When I saw the car... come on I'll show you. Now, did you ever see anything as new and as fresh looking as that? "Yes, the 1958 Chevrolet. All new with inspired sculpturamic styling. Breathtaking lowness of design. Dramatic big car width and length. The most fabulous automobile of the year. Luxury lounge interiors reach a new high of richness. And comfort and roominess - unbelievable."Take your choice. Seventeen smart models including the Corvette. In four new, great series. The new economy Delray series, the new Biscayne series - economy with luxury. The new Bel Air luxury series including the Impala - prestige car of the year. And finally a whole new station wagon series for 1958.

This epic reel of beautifully shot, silent home movies, entitled "Adventures in Mexico and Central America", were created by Sam Arner during the 1950s. The films show a trip from the border at El Paso, Texas and across the length of Mexico to Mexico City and then Central America, and include scenes that are a mix of culture, archaeology and vacation / tourism. This particular reel of the film begins with the San Francisco Convent of Huejotzingo, moving through Guatemala, and ancient Aztec and Mayan sites.  One shot in the film may show Sam Arner (2:40).  Unfortunately, we do not know much about filmmaker Arner, but presumably he presented and narrated this film in person on the lecture circuit. Recognize a location in this film that we didn't identify? We'd love your help in making the description better -- leave a comment!

The movie commences with scenes captured at The San Francisco Convent of Huejotzingo, featuring a glimpse of the plaque (0:20). The camera then presents an exterior view of the entire convent (46:14). Tombs and skeletons come into view (0:57-1:16). Subsequently, the camera shifts to portray glimpses of the city of Huejotzingo within the Puebla municipality and its environs (1:30). A man enters the frame, makes eye contact with the camera, offers a wave, and retreats behind it (2:40). Women are depicted enjoying a bath in the city, engaging playfully with flowers (3:13). The narrative transitions to scenes of men descending a hill in a minecart (3:20). People slide down the railroad track (3:50), followed by depictions of a city's harbor -- possibly Vera Cruz or San Blas ? (5:03). The camera then focuses on a woman vendin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e65e233f-9224-46c8-8bfd-36825ec7d232/5da1d9f2-ec59-4945-b59e-6bb24f094311-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/urUZS5tkTZcnfACfvTsCCs</video:player_loc><video:duration>2501</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T02:19:09.970Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1GqLeaPadKeWQA88Y8xnLX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0fba24b5-1b3b-402b-9a1e-734273d4244a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ CANDY AND NUTRITION ” 1947 CONFECTIONERS' ASSOCIATION PROMO FILM  CHOCOLATE &amp; HARD CANDY  XD86415</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This educational film produced by Astra Films informs viewers about the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA) Weather Bureau and the role weather forecasters play in warning communities about tornadoes. It covers how these meteorologists keep constant watch as well as the role of community members and volunteer observers.

This film "Safety First" showcases Mercedes' culture of safety, and safety innovations in the 1960's. It was filmed in West Germany, primarily at the Unterturkheim test grounds. The film features the car company once known as Daimler-Benz, now rebranded under Mercedes-Benz. This prominent automotive manufacturing company was formed in 1926 after the merger between Benz &amp; Cie and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft. Later it was renamed DaimlerChrysler and then renamed Daimler AG again. Its headquarters is Stuttgart, Baden-Wurttemberg. This film appears to date to the mid-to-late 1960s as it features the Mercedes-Benz W110, an entry level line of midsize cars first introduced in 1961 (note: probably the film dates to after 1968, as Mercedes' first use of crash test dummies dates to that year). The film also shows some of the early auto crash tests which began in 1959 in southern Germany with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. During this time period the rate of deaths in accidents were considerably seeing as the number of automobiles on the road was much less than that of today. 

A traffic officer at work (:31). Title: car trials at Daimler-Benz with footage of heavy traffic on highways or the autobahn (:34). A chart shows the increase in vehicles and accidents over the decades (1:12), statistics originally published by Cornell University (1:50). Frontal collision percentage rates are considerably high (1:55). A car flips into the air, landing on the roof (2:18). The vehicle shown to be used for a crash test appears to be the 1963 Mercedes-Benz 190 C or the 190 D (2:40). A special rocket is employed to give the test car a speed of 65 mph (3:03). The rocket is driven hydraulically (3:03).

This 1980s social guidance film "Meeting Strangers, Red Light, Green Light" is intended to educate young children on the dangers strangers may pose to their safety. It cautions that while most strangers they see are “green light people,” meaning safe, others are “red light people,” that is to say they are dangerous and children should stay away. It walks through several signals that should alarm the child and help them realize the stranger is not safe to be around, for example if a stranger asks a child to accompany him to a deserted place, that is a “red light.” A version of this film was originally made in 1969; this update dates to the mid- 1980s and was produced by Sal Bruno for BFA Educational Media.

It contains footage of F-84 aircraft, as well as footage of a photographic darkroom and studio / laboratory. The F-84 was one of the main attack aircraft used during the Korean War. Luke Air Force Base was originally built as Luke Army Air Field during World War II and was the largest base of the U.S. Army Air Forces during the war. In 1951 it was reactivated as an Air Force base. Located 15 miles west of Phoenix, Arizona, the base was a training site where pilots trained on the F-84. Squadrons of the Michigan Air National Guard served at the base which could explain why the film includes footage of several F-86 planes assigned to the Michigan Air National Guard and footage of an Air Force ceremony at a base near Alpena, Michigan.

This Ford Motor Co. film "Challenge!" takes viewers to the 47th annual Indianapolis 500 and follows the development of the Lotus 29, a British racing car built by Team Lotus for the 1963 race. It was their first attempt at the event and the two cars which were entered finished second and seventh in the hands of Jim Clark and Dan Gurney. These cars proved that the configuration was competitive, and that the days of the big and heavy front-engined roadsters were numbered. The 1963 race took place on May 30th, 1963 and was won by Rufus Parnell Jones.

Dating to WWII, "Secret Weapon" was produced by Sealtest and the National Dairy Industry to promote the importance of proper nutrition as supplied by milk and milk products in a healthy diet. The implication was that healthy people on the home front could help win the war, and that the Army draft would benefit from having milk-fed candidates. The opening scene is of famed broadcaster Lowell Thomas (0:42). He continues to say that his job is to announce conflicts and news regarding WWII (0:55). In this film specifically, he will discuss the “home front” which covers the lives of the American family who sit back as WWII is occurring (0:59). Introducing the first family, known as the Allen's, described as a typical American family in a typical American town (1:24). Marty and Helen are husband and wife, and Teddy and Bob are their two sons (1:59). Bob Allen and his friend Bill White were the first teenagers in their community to register for the draft (2:15). The next scene is set at a dinner, with Bob, Bill and their family (3:37). The audience learns that Bob didn’t make it in the Army due to being underweight (3:37). Bob continues to say that he didn’t realize how lonely the town can be, being one of the few men who didn’t make it into the Army (3:37). A further discussion is led around the dinner table regarding milk and nutrition, on one side stating the importance of milk, and Bob’s mother saying it’s too expensive (4:36). The next scene is of Lowell Thomas, stating that if Bob had kept an eye out for his nutrition and drunk his milk, he would have qualified for the Army (5:00). Thomas discusses how milk is produced (6:33). With selective breeding and proper feeding, a strict schedule is main...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/37e812ba-c375-495f-9890-52ac8697ba51/cae24ec9-d7ce-4639-8b36-ac6c55385b57-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7UpCMPUET9XfXtg6zaLN9Z</video:player_loc><video:duration>1867</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T02:40:58.454Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vAo1m7cLDqgoXFJ4A4tvjg</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/85de62aa-78aa-4ab9-87fc-502b94fe6e77.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" PRIVATE SNAFU PRESENTS SEAMAN TARFU IN THE NAVY "  1946 U.S. NAVY CARTOON   XD31662</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Directed by veteran animator George Gordon, "Private SNAFU presents Seaman TARFU in the Navy" was released in 1946. This toon was intended to have been the first of a series of instructional shorts made for the Navy in the style of the irreverant "Private SNAFU" series — with "Tarfu" standing for "Things Are Really Fouled Up". The toon was written by Theodor Geisel aka Dr. Seuss and Phil Eastman, with narration by Mel Blanc and Robert C. Bruce. The short was produced by Hugh Ising and Rudolf Ising, who founded  the Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer animation studios.  Although the Tarfu character held promise, the end of World War II and the demobilization that followed meant that this would be the only Tarfu toon ever produced. 

Incidentally, Private Snafu had another brother, named Fubar, in addition to Tarfu.

This restricted U.S. Army Air Force film from WWII (probably 1944) educates viewers on the electrical operation of the Central Station Fire-Control System. This was a mechanism produced by General Electric for the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. It allowed the gun turret and the gunner’s sighting station to be located separately, in efficient positions for each, yet still maintain alignment between the sight and the gun itself. This was used in the Boeing B-29 Superfortress which was a four-engined bomber employed by the United States Army Air Forces during World War II and the Korean War. The aircraft had four remotely controlled turrets, each with two machine guns. These were connected via the Central Station Fire-Control Systems to the sighting stations.

This 1960s-era training film produced by Audio Productions, Inc. for the United States Navy discusses the different types of logic circuits used in early computers. This film was one of a 5-part series from Bell Labs designed to explain basic computing elements. The film is marked as “Unclassified.” The film begins in black and white with women holding rolls of punch cards next to early computers, then transitions to a shot of the first electronic digital computer invented in 1946, called the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) (0:48), made of electromechanical relays and vacuum tubes. A man works at an early computer switchboard (1:09). Solid state electronic components, semiconductor diodes, and transistors are shown in color (1:14). A man pulls out a semiconductor diode and explains the different parts and how they conduct current (1:40). Transistors and diodes like these provided an advantage over early computers in size, reliability, and power consumption. The film then goes over several different types of logic element circuits and explains how they operate: 1) Diode circuits, 2) Transistor circuits, 3) Inverters, and 4) Flip-flops. Diode circuits (2:15) function as and/or gates. A diagram of an “and” gate with inputs and outputs is explained (2:28). Diodes and a resistor for the “and” circuit are diagrammed, and a voiceover narrates how they function at different levels of current (3:15). Then a diagram of an “or” gate is shown (5:22). An “or” gate functions as a mixer or buffer. How the “or” gate behaves with different inputs and outputs is explained (5:34). An “or” circuit differs from an “and” circuit in that the cathodes are connected to the resistor, and returns to ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/04fb34b6-56bf-4139-ae81-44157280a39f/8fbfd6ab-a9b6-4465-b77f-fafef0cd370c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1BFe7Fk9C2pwRo3oSade86</video:player_loc><video:duration>1055</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T02:53:23.549Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qQ4J2E4B3qycuDKHy3pHzv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3caef580-bd72-497f-977a-4ce7be153840.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ TRIP FROM YELLOWSTONE PARK TO SEATTLE, WASHINGTON ” 1940s HOME MOVIE TRAVELOGUE  44664</video:title><video:description>Made by an unknown American amateur filmmaker, this silent home movie shows a visit to Yellowstone National Park in Montana, the Pacific Northwest and Seattle. 

The film opens with the cascading Yellowstone falls (:21). A bridge cuts over colorful canyons (:26). A modern roadway cuts through the thick forests with snow on the ground (:37). Old Faithful; the cone geyser which erupts approximately every two hours, blows at (:45). Pedestrians run to and from the geyser in excitement. A brown bear is pictured at the top of a tree (2:05). A close shot of the bear climbing down the tree follows (2:24). The mama bear and her two cubs are pictured on the ground (2:33). From here it is a sixty mile ride through the Red Lodge Skyway to Red Lodge, Montana (2:48). Once in Montana, viewers can see bits of snow remaining on the Pilot and Index peaks (3:04). Index is the smaller of the two peaks. These are historical landmarks pioneers and explorers relied on for navigation. A close shot of the peaks follows (3:08). Though this footage is from the month of June, snow is still seen on some of the ridges and peaks (3:21). This highway’s elevation is 10,000 feet (3:41). The filmmaker watches a marmot (4:02). Grand Coulee Dam is one of the largest dams in the country (4:28). Lodges and modern homes follow (4:44). Alki Point Lighthouse in Seattle, Washington (5:00). This lighthouse was opened in 1913 and sits on the site where the founders had landed in 1851. The Seattle skyline appears (5:19). Mount Rainier sits 14408 feet above sea level (5:40). Its icy snow capped peak is captured between trees (5:50). This is taller than any other mountain of the Cascade Range (5:59). Tourists play with a little remaining snow (6:18). Lush blossoms offer contrast against the snow (6:24). Tatoosh Range in Washington is located near Mount Rainier National Park and next to Tatoosh wilderness (6:51). Paradise Lodge is situated near Paradise Valley (7:03). The summit of Mount Rainier nears (7:07).

The Raven Forward Air Controllers, also known simply as The Ravens, were fighter pilots used for forward air control in a covert operation in conjunction with the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States in Laos during America's Vietnam War. The Ravens provided direction for most of the air strikes against communist Pathet Lao targets and People's Army of Vietnam's infiltrators in support of the Laotian Hmong guerrilla army. If you see aircraft in the film they are most likely Cessna L-19/O-1 Bird Dog liaison and observation aircraft, as well as Pilatus Porters.   

The film starts out showing the flooding of the Mekong that occurs every year.  At about 0:15, it shows Pakse and the Pakse airport with an O-1 taking off.  At 0:41 it is showing the area near Attapeu where the pilot is marking a target for an airstrike at 1:05.  The white smoke is from my Willy-Pete Rocket (white phosphorus) marking the target for the airstrike.  At about 1:09 it shows the flash from a 500# bomb that was dropped.  Then at 1:18, it shows 2 more 500# bombs being dropped.  At 1:25 you can see a Laotian T-28 going on-target.  At 1:31 it shows the blast of the bomb.  At 1:35 a T-28 is seen getting ready to make a run on the target.  2 bombs are dropped at 1:47.  At 2:24 it appears to be an F-4 or other U.S. fighter jet making a run on the target.  It is possibly a T-28, although it seems to be flying faster than a T-28.   The target continues to be hit, indicating that it was a Viet-Nam base camp.  That camp is shown at 4:21, although it is difficult due to my unsteady O-1.  At 4:35 is shown anti-aircraft bunkers, although one would have to know what one was looking at to know what it is.  The North Vietnamese built anti-aircraft bunkers in Southern Laos to protect their Ho-Chi-Minh-Trails.  
at 5:00+/- is shown the smoke from the bombing.   At 5:14 are seen flashes from CBU (Clust...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5aa73ef8-86ab-46d1-9dde-a8f1ac2fdcbc/b06f7c3a-79d0-4479-8a93-6d9b015e2a86-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ccgtMepPzsLWaWqtcUqUU5</video:player_loc><video:duration>1076</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T02:55:28.999Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6Vt8KroB3YYMrfJZ4V6Ra5</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b79eb375-8018-453a-b544-0b38e71aac83.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ YOUR SAFETY HARNESS ” 1944 U.

This 1951 US Navy training film goes over the importance and duties of the Shore Patrol. The Shore Patrol maintain good order and discipline among military personnel and apprehend all unauthorized absentees (and other offenders as necessary). They watch over sailors on shore leave and represents the commanding officers of the sailors. The film follows to Shore Patrol members through a day of patrols.

Released in 1943 "The Infantry Blues" is one of the cartoons in the "Private SNAFU" series directed by Chuck Jones, voiced by Mel Blanc, and produced by Warner Brothers.  It was written by Phil Eastman and Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss. The cartoon features Private Snafu grousing about being  assigned to the infantry. With help from the magic "Technical Fairy", G.I. Snafu finds himself (poof!) performing difficult duty as a member of a tank crew, (poof!) on a PT boat as a sailor, and finally (poof!) as a flyboy pilot in a USAAF P-38 Lightning. He's more miserable now than as a lowly grunt! SNAFU quickly learns that each branch of service and each type of duty as its own challenges and problems. 

Private Snafu is the title character of a series of black-and-white American instructional adult animated shorts, ironic and humorous in tone, that were produced between 1943 and 1945 during World War II. The films were designed to instruct service personnel about security, proper sanitation habits, booby traps and other military subjects, and to improve troop morale. Primarily, they demonstrate the negative consequences of doing things wrong. The main character's name is a play on the military slang acronym SNAFU, "Situation Normal: All Fucked Up". (The cleaned-up version of that phrase, usually used on radio and in print, was "Situation Normal: All Fouled Up".)

One in the series of "Private SNAFU" cartoons produced by Warner Brothers, "Snafuperman" (1944) was directed by Friz Freleng and written by Abe Liss and Theodor Geisel aka Dr. Seuss. It features the voices of Mel Blanc and Tedd Pierce.  Here, Private SNAFU is transformed into a superhero by a guardian angel, but one who refused to study field manuals or maps. The result is chaos, as SNAFU almost attacks Washington, D.C. instead of Berlin, and mistakes an American tank for a Japanese one.

This 1970s film looks at the work of police officers in the Culver City Police Department in California. The film presents the daily life of Officer Bryan -- his home, his family, his involvement in different cases and situations. It was produced by Sid Davis, a prolific filmmaker who spent a career making educational and social guidance films. "Peace is Our Profession" begins with a suspect being arrested (seemingly randomly) while onlookers make up their minds about the situation. This is followed by the start of the day for Officer Bryan, who takes care of his kids before heading out on patrol. The film then follows this cop on his daily routine and the duties he and his partner perform. This includes arresting shoplifters, investigating attempted burglaries and noise complaints, bringing lost children back home, arresting teens for drug possession, and investigating suspects in murder cases. The film ends with the same scene it started with and it turns out that the person being randomly searched matched the description of the suspect. The film seeks to promote a positive image of the police as guardians of peace and order in the city, while also portraying them as paternal figures.

This early 1970s film looks at the dangers of driving under the influence. It does this by the example of two men in a bar where the man who has had less to drink ends up driving. He barely manages to avoid an accident. Four experts then sit in a conference room and analyze every element of what had happened. The message of the PSA is that even small amounts of alcohol are still harmful when driving.

The film is full of images of condensers, pipes and gages, steam pumps for the oil, furnaces, and images of some of the different employees working there. (Perhaps a knowledgeable expert could identify the various machinery shown).  Background on this film is that, in the 1890s, significant oil strikes were made in northern Natrona County, Wyoming. Investors, comfortable with dependable nearby supplies of crude oil, underwrote construction of Wyoming’s first refinery in 1895. Pennsylvania investors headed by Philip Shannon formed the firm at Casper and named it the Pennsylvania Refinery. They also struck oil at what became known as the Shannon Field north of Casper.The film provides a fascinating (if amateur shot) look at the refinery and its machinery. Too bad we don't have a narration track for this film, but home movies shot in this period were always silent.You can read more about the early era of Wyoming oil exploration at: http://www.wyohistory.org/encyclopedia/refining-wyomings-oil-120-years

This untitled color promotional film was produced for Rolls-Royce Motors Ltd. to promote its Silver Spirit, Long Wheelbase Silver Spur, and Bentley Mulsanne model vehicles of the early 1980s. Directed by Christian Browning, the film, which opens at the entrance to Castle Howard Stately Home in Yorkshire, England features shots of these vehicles driving through the Yorkshire countryside as well as along city highways and racetracks. The Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit is a full-size luxury car produced by Rolls-Royce Motors, in Crewe, England, from 1980 to 1997. It was the first model in the SZ series. The Silver Spur is a long-wheelbase version of the Silver Spirit, produced from 1980 to 2000. The Bentley Mulsanne and Mulsanne Turbo are large (performance) luxury saloons produced by Bentley Motors from 1980 until 1992. Designed to replace the Rolls-Royce based Arnage, the Mulsanne was the first flagship car to be independently designed by Bentley Motors since W.O. Bentley's 8 litre model in 1930.  Note: Bentley and Rolls Royce are the same car brand, going all the way back to the early days of luxury automobiles. Their history  became permanently intertwined in the early 1930s when Bentley was acquired by Rolls-Royce. As the manufacturers separated, Rolls Royce got all the merchandise from Bentley except its name.  
Since 1997, when Vickers PLC decided to sell the Rolls-Royce brand (which owned the Bentley name), Bentley has been owned by Volkswagen AG. So today, they're independent brands that produce, market, distribute, and sell their own automobiles.

“Music In Motion” is a 50s-era, color Bell Telephone System promotional film about how the scientists and engineers in the Bell Telephone Laboratories study sound in order to improve telephone and radio services. Hosted by Tom Shirley, who was known for his work as host of the Bell Telephone Hour Radio Program, this film follows along as Bell engineers visit the Bell Telephone Hour orchestra, conductor Donald Voorhees, and visiting musician Zino Francescatti to collect sound samples. Throughout the film, the music is accompanied by flame-like images which are actual pictures of sound. The film then goes on to take viewers on a behind-the-scenes tour of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, where scientists work to make Bell Telephones the best they can be. 

The Bell Telephone Hour were weekly 30-minute NBC radio broadcasts, featuring classical and light classical music, which began on Apr. 29, 1940 and continued until 1958. In September 1959, the Bell Telephone Hour made its television debut as a monthly musical special. It remained a regular television program until April 26, 1968 (Source: New York Public Library Archives).

“Caution: Wake Turbulence” (C.1975) is a color, training film produced by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and discusses the impact of wake turbulence and wing-tip vortices on other planes. Narrated by Charles R. Hughes, the film specifically touches on points like how turbulence is formed, its dangers to aircrafts - particularly small aircrafts - during take off and landing, and safety measures for avoiding the effects of such turbulence. The film uses a combination of live footage of small planes and commercial aircrafts taking off and landing, smoke tower flyby tests, and scientific animations. Testing for the phenomena first began in 1963 as more large commercial jets came onto the market and there was more demand for trans-continental travel.

It dates to the late 1920s and was part of a series of educational films made by Kodak. This would have been accompanied by a script or hand-out when shown in the classrom. Two major techniques can be employed for glass blowing. These are the free-blowing and the mold-blowing methods. The free-blowing technique will be explored in this film. This method has been the dominant position in glass forming dating back to the first century BC and is still widely used today. 

Eastman Classroom films title card (:10). Eastman created films such as this for educational use in the classroom or in libraries. The first technique is to be explored using Pyrex glass. Pyrex glass is borosilicate glass tempered with great thermal and mechanical shock resistance. The film was prepared by Kodak Research Laboratories (:22). A 1920’s era set up for a glass blowing session is presented (:26). A gas flame is ignited (:37) and the oxygen tank is opened (:41). A glass blower prepares his tools (:57). He pulls apart the tube (1:16). A clean glass blowing tube is set on the work table (1:33). The film notes the tube ends must be polished prior to working with them (1:58). The blower holds the ends over a flame (2:06). The heated edges are scraped off (2:37). The man displays the proper method of turning the tube (2:46) with close shots on hand movement (2:55). The flame heats the glass enough as the two portions are pulled apart with ease (3:04). A tube is drawn out (3:25). A stopper is employed on one end of the tube (4:01). A tube is bent to form a curved right angle (4:14). The glass blower joins two tubes (4:48) rotating them as he goes. The film turns to show a second method which must be employed when the tubes cannot be rotated (5:37). T or Y tubes are formed using the same method (6:16). The tube is heated directly in the center as the flame becomes colored (6:32). The glass blower blows into one end...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2b1fc008-5f3b-4c32-9482-16bce499f60a/5df7ed17-a843-471d-ad22-efce8e6ac986-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6jRLox1yYTAPyPGMiN9zbA</video:player_loc><video:duration>463</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T03:24:15.566Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vf8qYhHCviTaV3ne2bg6xu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/df21a442-5b90-4612-964c-7ed8252607e1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s OLDSMOBILE DELTA 88 FRONTAL IMPACT CRASH TESTS  70 MPH   CRASH TEST DUMMIES   89374</video:title><video:description>This silent footage shows crash tests at 70 miles per hour into a frontal barrier.

VMI is a public senior military college situated in Lexington, Virginia founded in 1839. It is the US’s first state military college and the oldest public senior military college in the US. The institute has pumped out a few prominent commanders including WWII’s George C. Marshall and David M. Maddox. 

The film opens noting the name of a graduating cadet (:20). His school portrait follows in an ornate gold frame (:24). The inscription on the Parapet of the institute is zoomed in on (:39). The camera pans over the walls of the institute with vines growing up (:42). Cadets mill along the bottom of the screen. The statue pictured to the right bottom of the screen is of Stonewall Jackson (:59). This statue was the topic of much debate and has since been removed from the campus in 2020. The camera moves over the sprawling campus (1:38) littered with trees. A cadet marches through the center (2:05) rifle butt in hand guarding the grounds. Cadets march in drills with Virginia mountains in the background (2:11). A cadet, presumably the young boy named Leonard from the beginning of the film stands with his mother and father for photograph (3:26). He shakes hands with his peer (3:41). The young cadet’s yearbook follows (3:45). Foggy morning footage show cadets reading for a practice football game (4:31). The day falls to evening and the stadium is packed for a game (4:46). The VMI tank platoon practices maneuvers in mock battle exercise (5:31). The Piasecki H-21 Shawnee touches down (6:00). This craft was the fourth of a line of tandem rotor helicopters built by Piasecki Helicopter; later known as Boeing Vertol. It was playfully known as the ‘flying banana’. The Sikorsky H-34 S-58 helicopter follows (6:07). It lifts an Army Jeep from the ground displaying its lifting capabilities (6:19).

It's not clear precisely what was being studied here, but most likely the footage was intended to examine the effectiveness of the weapon release mechanism or hardpoint / pylon. The film was most likely shot at the U.S. Navy's China Lake facility, aka China Lake Naval Ordnance Test Station (NOTS),.where many weapons were developed and tested, and probably dates to the WWII period. During 1944, NOTS worked on the development and testing of the 3.5-inch, 5-inch, HVAR and 11.75-inch (Tiny Tim) rockets. The vehicle shown in use is Burma Jeep aka Ford GTB. This particular vehicle is what's known as a GTBS or GBTC truck or Bomb Service with crane ( made specially for the US Navy).  

The HVAR was a very effective U.S. Navy air-to-surface rocket. It began service in World War II and continued until 1955. Largely fired by Navy airplanes, such as the F4U Corsair, the HVAR was however first used by the Army Air Forces against German targets near Lo, France in July 1944. About a million HVARs were produced. The loaded weight of the rocket was 61 kg (134 lb )including 11 kg (24 lb) of propellant and a 20 kg (45 lb) payload with 3.5 kg (7.8 lb) of high explosive. It reached a velocity of 1530 km/h (950 mph), and had a range of about 5 km (3 mi).

This orientation film "Let's Talk About the SAT" was created in the late 1970s in an effort to better prepare students about the Scholastic Aptitude Tests or SATs; what they are and what students should expect. The SAT has been around since 1926 and is a standardized test used for college admissions in the U.S., and is typically taken by high school juniors and seniors.  For much of its history, it had two components, Verbal and Mathematical, each of which was scored on a range from 200 to 800. Later it was called the Scholastic Assessment Test, then the SAT I: Reasoning Test, then the SAT Reasoning Test, then simply the SAT. The SAT is wholly owned, developed, and published by the College Board, a private, not-for-profit organization, and is administered by the Educational Testing Service,

The film opens with various shots of students discussing the SAT (:24). A teacher enters her empty classroom setting a stack of copies of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (:42). Norma Lowder (1:05) explains the test is a way to test your aptitude prior to getting into college (1:12). She further explains they exist as a common denominator across the country (1:29). Students interject their concerns and opinions as the film flicks between them and Norma (2:01). A Volvo of the 140 Series rolls past the camera (2:21). A teacher sets tests onto each desk (2:25) in an empty classroom. Eloise Lee of Colorado explains the difference between an aptitude test versus an achievement test (2:33). Vernese B. O’Neal of Dillard University in New Orleans, Louisiana (2:50) explains the SAT tests one’s ability to grasp certain ideas. Eloise explains the difficulty in studying for the SAT (3:08).

This brief, silent footage (probably shot by a USAF news cameraman) shows activities of the US Air Force in Japan during or shortly after the Korean War. This film in particular features the christening of a new B-29; likely the RB-29 "Silver Wind". The aircraft is a part of the 56th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron (WRS). It was to fly daily strategic weather reconnaissance missions in and around Japan and Korea. Shipping surveillance was also conducted. The area targeted for that kind of activity was between Formosa and the USSR. A notable Japanese actress, believed to be Keiko Tsushima, assists in the christening of the new aircraft.  The film opens as Keiko, dressed in the traditional kimono leads USAF officers into an elegant dining hall at the Yokota AB in Japan (:18). The walls are lined with bamboo with ornate Japanese decoration dangling from the ceiling (:34). The Japanese and American flag hang side by side (:37). Guests settle around the long dining table (1:09). US and Japanese servicemen march side by side in preparation for the christening of the RB-29 (2:28). A Japanese press photographer sneaks off camera right (2:38). USAF servicemen and their wives march in for the ceremony (3:04). Keiko enters leading the crowd with a bouquet (3:19). USAF men and Japanese officials salute (4:13) in front of the RB-29. A close shot shows the craft was nick named ‘Silver Wind’ and it was of the 56th WRS (5:01). Keiko takes the podium (5:10). She grabs the bottle hung on the nose of the craft (5:30) reading to smash it. The plane is christened and photographs are snapped of the event (6:04). Service men and family members in attendance filter out of the hangar (6:38).

One in the series of "Private SNAFU" cartoons produced during WWII, "Target SNAFU" (1944) was directed by Frank Tashlin and features the voice of Mel Blanc, and a script by Phil Eastman and Theodor Geisel aka Dr. Seuss. Here, an ill-prepared Private Snafu is up against an air armada of malaria-infected mosquitoes. The cartoon uses "The Toy Trumpet" by Raymond Scott as part of the score. This cartoon was part of an awareness campaign aimed at informing troops about the dangers posed by the insects. During the Pacific War, the lack of effective mosquito control measures caused malaria to reach epidemic status. Early in the war, it was estimated that malaria caused eight to ten times as many casualties than the battlefield. In 1943, James C. Magee, Surgeon General of the United States Army, created special units to plan and carry out malaria control. The same year, Douglas MacArthur issued orders concerning malaria control measures. Among them was raising the shipping priority of anti-malaria supplies, providing troops with prophylactic drugs (quinine and atabrine) and mosquito repellents, and training troops in the importance of malaria. Soldiers were reluctant to take antimalarials (particularly Atabrine, which had worse side-effects than quinine) because of the side-effects, and Private SNAFU vs. Malaria Mike was an attempt to challenge this aversion.

Dating from 1943, this fascinating newsreel features footage of the British 8th Army and American and Free French forces battling in North Africa against Rommel's Afrika Korps, and the Russian victory at Stalingrad.  The film begins with the Battle of Mareth, part of an Allied operation under General Bernard Montgomery in Tunisia intended to assault the Mareth Line defenses held by German and Italian forces under General Giovanni Messe. The initial attack, Operation Pugilist ran into difficulties when after an initial bridgehead was established a decisive breakthrough failed to occur after the Axis forces made strong counterattacks. It did, however, establish an alternative route of attack and thus laid the ground for Operation Supercharge II, an outflanking maneuver via the Tebaga Gap. Montgomery reinforced the flanking attack, which on 26 March forced an Axis retreat that was completed by 31 March with the 8th Army in pursuit.The second half of the film features authentic footage of the Nazi defeat at Stalingrad including the surrender of Field Marshall Paulus.  The Battle of Stalingrad (23 August 1942 – 2 February 1943) was a major battle of World War II in which Nazi Germany and its allies fought the Soviet Union for control of the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd) in the south-western Soviet Union.Marked by constant close quarters combat and direct assaults on civilians by air raids, it was the single largest and bloodiest battle in the history of warfare. The heavy losses inflicted on the Wehrmacht make it arguably the most strategically decisive battle of the whole war.  It was a turning point in the European theatre of World War II–the German forces never regained the initiative in the East and withdrew a vast military force from the West to replace their losses.The German offensive to capture Stalingr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/55a4e395-cd08-45d6-91a2-7f9559c5724e/a73b6531-8190-46d0-8560-fe11fdc9ed99-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bzoDDwid75goHm8WbjaSHU</video:player_loc><video:duration>588</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T03:33:26.889Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8Eq7Lo3HUKr7Ye8wrLLjV3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b33a7bfa-45ba-4c6e-9eb4-84d0cfb09750.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>KENT STATE MASSACRE PROTEST FILM   VIETNAM WAR   U.C.

This untitled Vietnam War protest film was probably made by a student at UC Berkeley. Unfortunately there is no main title or credits so -- we just don't know. The film contrasts the war in Vietnam with the Kent State shootings, which took place on May 4, 1970 during a rally opposing the expanding involvement of the Vietnam War into Cambodia by United States military forces as well as protesting the National Guard presence on campus. The film shows some of the broader reaction to the news of the Kent State tragedy, including the U.C. Berkeley campus on strike. The b&amp;w film uses still photography and live action footage to make its points about police brutality, the military industrial complex, and the misguided policies of the Nixon Administration with regard to the Vietnam War. 
 
The film begins with images of Richard Nixon and audio about the war in Vietnam, before transitioning abruptly to images from Kent State. At 1:02, protests at UC Berkeley is shown with a banner reading "Stop Nixon's Slaughter". At 1:11, a large cadre of police are shown at the UC campus. At 1:53, shots of the Daily Californian newspaper headlines announcing that Governor Ronald Reagan has closed the campus to quash protests. At 1:58, inside a student organizer headquarters is shown with different positions in the group described  -- from "Internal Education" to "External Education". At 2:02, students are shown making silk screens of protest posters. The poster shown at 2:10 is "Amerika is Devouring its Children" by artist Jay Bellioli. This poster visually paraphrases Francisco Goya’s painting, Saturn Devouring his Son. The poster shown at 2:20 with the Campanile clock tower of UC Berkeley in the background, and police in the foreground, was created by UC Berkeley student Sally Robertson in 1969 as a protest against police brutality.

It begins with sights in Valdez itself, followed by the mainly natural sights along the way. It also shows residents, mainly the owner /operators of museums or touristic spots, including Alaska Nellie. Although the ship the family that made this movie sailed on is not mentioned, it's safe to assume it was a vessel operated by the Alaska Steamship Co., as the SS Aleutian is shown (sold in 1956 -- so the film must pre-date that year). The ship the family sailed on may have been the SS Alaska, SS Tonsina or another vessel.

This brief film displays some of the innovative and experimental aircrafts of the 1950’s at the well-known Edwards Air Force Base. The footage likely dates to the late 1950s or early 1960s. Edwards Air Force Base is situated in Kern County, California. The base was constructed in 1933 and saw much activity during WWII, the Cold War and in the present day as a flight test center. The base is also used for ground research and has a NASA facility as well. Nearly all aircrafts purchased by the USAF since the Second World War were developed there. Originally, the base was known as Muroc Air Force Base of California though it was rechristened in 1948 after an experimental flying wing bomber, the Northrop YB-49, crashed into the Mojave Desert. All five crew members perished; one being Glen Edwards and this is who the base was renamed for. During the time period following the war, a promise of a turbojet revolution and supersonic breakthrough was vitalized.

The film opens with a welcome sign to the Air Force Base (:13). A 1953 Chevrolet Corvette hardtop glides down a California highway (:53) as the camera car follows behind. Air Force men stand in a circle before their jets (1:09) as the camera peels up higher showing the noses of the great crafts. The Convair (1:30) XF-92A sits to the left bottom of the screen. The North American F-100 Super Sabre sits to the right at (2:16). The F101 Voodoo fighter (2:39) was crafted by McDonnell. The Convair F-102 Delta Dagger; an interceptor aircraft was introduced in 1956 (2:57). The F-104 Starfighter was crafted by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation (3:48). Modern jet fighters sit in a circle (4:25). The F-4 Phantom appears with a close look at (5:54). The F-100 Super Sabre reappears at (6:28).

This film "Constructing Reality - A Film on Film" (1973) is, at its core, an exploration of the intricate art of filmmaking, delving into the multifaceted stages of scriptwriting, cinematography, and meticulous final editing. It provides a behind-the-scenes journey, unraveling the creative and technical complexities that bring a film to life. As an illustration, the film-within-a-film narrative centers around a race car competition. The film was produced by David Altschul of Gilbert Altschul Productions.  

A race car enters the shot (0:26). Two men fill up the tank, and the race car driver gets back in, to continue racing (0:39).

He explains that if you are personally at the races, you can capture different types of details (3.06).

Made to support WWII war workers, this 1943 War Department Training film was part of a series that covers the care and use of essential tools such as pliers and screwdrivers. It covers common mistakes that people make, how to correct them, and how to care for tools to ensure they last long. The film’s general theme is that while pliers and screwdrivers are handy tools that can be used in a lot of situations, they should still be used for their intended purposes.

The crew consisted of pilot Captain Hermann Köhl, the navigator, Major James Fitzmaurice, and the owner of the aircraft, Ehrenfried Günther Freiherr von Hünefeld.When the Bremen landed on Greenly Island, the first Canadian aircraft to reach the scene was piloted by Duke Schiller and the second machine was flown by the Canadian Transcontinental Airways Company's Chief Pilot - Romeo Vachon who arrived two days later with a group of media representatives. Both Schiller and Vachon were flying Fairchild FC-2W machines; G-CAIQ (Schiller) and G-CAIP (Vachon). Gretta May Ferris, a nurse from Saint John, New Brunswick who was posted at nearby Forteau's Grennfell Medical Station, travelled by dogsled some 15 miles (24 km) to attend to the crew's medical needs; she was the first to write the story that was picked up by the international media saying that the Bremen had landed and that the crew were safe.The clock in the lighthouse was remembered (by the family of the lighthouse keeper) as indicating 2 p.m. Atlantic Time when the Bremen was first sighted from the ground. Captain Köhl and Baron von Hünefeld said that they were in the air 36½ hours. If their statements of elapsed time had an accuracy of better than one minute, which is unlikely, then the time of touchdown was 18:08 GMT or 13:08 EST or 14:08 Atlantic Time.Alfred Cormier of Long Point (Lourdes-de-Blanc-Sablon), who operated the local telegraph office from his home, made contact with Marconi station VCL at Point Amour in Labrador—18 miles (29 km) east of Long Point. From there, his message went through St. John's, N...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8db68809-2fe0-43a3-9e54-fe9083f5baf1/62069eb6-2439-4bfb-9d09-fe0e7fb4a199-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iuXJGkK5rVHqwaqRfbMwQR</video:player_loc><video:duration>242</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T03:55:20.596Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6FuiBfvqUvJgmXNri6QA6S</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b1c5876c-a5ed-478e-b95c-f9ec4b0a713c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s HOME MOVIE   TRIP ABOARD LINER SS LURLINE FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO HONOLULU, HAWAII  92575</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This home movie from the late 1940s or early 1950s shows a trip aboard the liner SS Lurline from San Francisco to Honolulu, Hawaii. The film begins with shots of a crowd at Piers 30 and 32 in San Francisco's Embarcadero, home of the Matson Line. SS Lurline (the third vessel to bear that name) was a 18,564-ton passenger liner, and operated from 1932-1963. At :24 the ship cruises under the Golden Gate Bridge and into the Pacific. Various scenes of life aboard the ship during the cruise follow, including passengers sunning on the deck (:59) and playing tennis or paddleball. At 1:51, the ship reaches Honolulu.

This untitled, silent, black-and-white home movie chronicles a family’s trip around the Mediterranean. While the film has no credits, it was likely made during the early 1930s due to the fashion and automobiles that are seen in the footage. The film includes footage of Mont Blanc, Chamonix and other parts of France like Paris and Versailles. While the family is unknown, it appears this film is one of many travelogs made by this couple as they appear in other travelog films through Europe and other parts of Europe.

This film "Cleaning of Gas Refrigeration Units" was presented by the People’s Gas Light &amp; Coke Company; (16). The film was created to show servicemen a new method of how to clean gas refrigeration units / gas refrigerators. Modern people may not be acquainted with gas refrigerators, but they were sold to consumers between the 1920s and 1950s, and some models are still marketed that use propane (for RVs or rural living for example) or natural gas. Absorption refrigerators such as those made by Servel Co. and Electrolux used a natural gas flame to maintain a heat exchange that cooled the food compartment. Albert Einstein (yes that Einstein) and Leo Szilard were patent holders of designs for absorption units. (The Servel units used “gas-powered ammonia absorption technology".) These refrigerators were very quiet compared to electric models, as they had no compressor, and they cost less to operate. However they did apparently require routine maintenance of the gas burner, cleaning of the flue and baffle, as shown in the film.  They also needed to be periodically defrosted. On the other hand, the gas-powered refrigerators did not use environmentally damaging CFCs, and so a case can be made that in some respects they were better for the planet. 

The film begins by displaying the ‘old method’ of maintenance (:29). A maintenance man appears in front of a 60’s style kitchen with white appliances (:37). He lays a paper down, setting his tools atop (:41). He first removes the bottom kick panel (:57). Another man hands him towels and tools as he works (1:08). The refrigerator is pulled forward (1:17). The pair set to remove the back panel (1:44). A scrub brush is sent down the individual parts (1:51).

Released in March, 1944, "Vs. Malaria Mike" is one of the cartoons in the "Private SNAFU" series directed by Chuck Jones, voiced by Mel Blanc, and produced by Warner Brothers.  It was likely written by Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss. The cartoon features Private Snafu facing a malaria-transmitting mosquito, and was part of an awareness campaign aimed at informing troops about the dangers posed by the insects. During the Pacific War, the lack of effective mosquito control measures caused malaria to reach epidemic status. Early in the war, it was estimated that malaria caused eight to ten times as many casualties than the battlefield. In 1943, James C. Magee, Surgeon General of the United States Army, created special units to plan and carry out malaria control. The same year, Douglas MacArthur issued orders concerning malaria control measures. Among them was raising the shipping priority of anti-malaria supplies, providing troops with prophylactic drugs (quinine and atabrine) and mosquito repellents, and training troops in the importance of malaria. Soldiers were reluctant to take antimalarials (particularly Atabrine, which had worse side-effects than quinine) because of the side-effects, and Private SNAFU vs. Malaria Mike was an attempt to challenge this aversion. 

Private Snafu is the title character of a series of black-and-white American instructional adult animated shorts, ironic and humorous in tone, that were produced between 1943 and 1945 during World War II. The films were designed to instruct service personnel about security, proper sanitation habits, booby traps and other military subjects, and to improve troop morale. Primarily, they demonstrate the negative consequences of ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/90326563-c7c3-423d-8171-ad6fd43619fe/d39a6140-f616-4b3f-a60e-cd3cb16dedb0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iNKwDZTkxvNqqPryGZAbtq</video:player_loc><video:duration>309</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T04:18:28.747Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6G1oRafPVPFdUCfUbMsKh2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/132f84d7-aaec-4cea-85d3-c83c15c1cc92.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ HARBOR PILOTS AND TOWBOAT MEN ”  DISCOVERY '70  TV SHOW EPISODE   PORT EVERGLADES, FLORIDA XD30582</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of the New York World, first came up with the idea for a National Air Race event in 1920 as way to ignite interest in aviation. The 1939 edition, however, was the last of the races until 1946 as WWII had just begun in Europe (this may also explain why this footage was never made into a final, narrated film). The 1939 race was somewhat unique because it featured no new models of racing planes. The event was broken down into multiple events that occurred over Labor Day Weekend, September 2nd to the 4th, and featured military demonstration flights and aerial maneuvers alongside the skilled flying of the era's top race pilots from the likes of Roscoe Turner, Tony LeVier, Steve Wittman, Art Chester, Frank Fuller, Jackie Cochran, and Paul Mantz among others.

This short Castle Films newsreel, produced for the home market, shows the Doolittle Raid on 18 April 1942 by the United States on the Japanese capital Tokyo and other places on Honshu during World War II. It was the first American air operation to strike the Japanese archipelago.

The film shows the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown as it launches B-25 bomber aircraft  It also features footage of practice runs made by the bomber crews and other training.  It also contains footage of Capt. Marc Mitscher, Gen. Jimmy Doolittle,  Admiral Halsey, Gen. Hap Arnold, raiders T.W. Lawson and H.F. Watson, and Madame Chaing Kai-shek.  One interesting aspect of the film is that it utilizes footage from a Japanese air raid  newsreel, that was shot months before the Doolittle Raid as part of a drill, to show an audience what the effect of the raid would have been on the Japanese civilian population.

This untitled, silent, home movie chronicles an American family’s trip around the Mediterranean. It was likely made during the early 1930s due to the fashion and automobiles that are seen in the footage. The film includes footage from France, Holland, Belgium, and Germany, specifically scenes from Paris, Brussels, and a Rhine River cruise. While the family is unknown, it appears this film is one of many travelogs made by this couple as they appear in other travelog films through Europe.

This film was released as part of the Kodak Cinegraph library, a business set up by Kodak for home projection of 16mm films in the late 1920s. (Note the slogan," New Releases Each Month.") This black and white silent film takes us through some of the most famous religious sites in Damascus. The film is of general high quality, considering its age and shows excellent detail of some of the most beautiful scenery Damascus has to offer of its religious relics. The film opens with sweeping view of the city. The architecture is inspired by the Romans. The camera then opens to the east of the the National Museum and about 1 km west of the Old City of Damascus to view the Tekkiye Mosque, also known as Tekkiya as Suleimaniyya. If the mosque reminds you of Istanbul, it's for good reason: the fine Ottoman mosque was built at the order of Suleiman the Magnificent and planned by the famed architect Sinan. This mosque was built mostly by Christian masons and architects who had converted to Islam. People walk in front of the mosques and horse drawn carts can be seen. A motor car rumbles by. The Street Called Straight. :37. Straight Street (Latin: Via Recta), known as the Street Called Straight in the New Testament, is the old decumanus maximus, the main Roman road, of Damascus, Syria. It runs from east to west through the old city. Paul the Apostle famously stayed in a house on Straight Street according to the Acts of the Apostles (9:11). During the Greek period in Damascus, the city was re-designed by Hippodamus, who gave the city a grid structure. The longest of these streets, 1,500 metres in length across the city, was called Straight Street. The street bustles with activity, commerce, men and be...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2f5a9d83-c10c-48a1-960f-7dc5a8199d0a/b6013abd-480c-4d83-917a-8d4d6111dd8e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6R9TukTe1AdJjw6qDjNfaq</video:player_loc><video:duration>238</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T04:29:19.873Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vViJWJ2iCBcqQEeX1wYAJL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/25de89f3-48b8-458b-a271-96ada603186e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WALT DISNEY 1945 INDUSTRIAL CARTOON  "THE ABC OF HAND TOOLS"  TOOL CARE &amp; HANDLING  48344</video:title><video:description>“The ABC of Hand Tools” (1945) is a Walt Disney Co. produced training and educational film for General Motors (GM) about proper use of hand tools.

LATEX PLANTATIONS   SUMATRA, INDONESIA 49354</video:title><video:description>“The Story of Rubber” (c.1930s) is a silent, black-and-white informational film about the United States Rubber Company ( now Uniroyal ) and the latex rubber production process beginning with the clearing and planting of latex trees, production and export, as well as the lives of the plantation workers referred to as “coolies.” Charles Goodyear’s invention of vulcanization in 1839 significantly widened the market for rubber goods. The market continued to expand over the course of the 19th and 20th century with the popularization of the bicycle and the arrival of the automobile. As the rubber market expanded, the production economy shifted from Brazil to Southeast Asia, where the plantation model flourished and rubber was traded as a global commodity.

MacDonald aboard a passenger cruise ship as it travels through the Panama Canal Zone. MacDonald was a member of the Amateur Cinema League, an organization which promoted best practices among home movie makers; ACL films tend to be much better than normal "home movies" and this is the case here.  Note: although the opening title pages note that the film depicts “Our Trip to Mexico January 20, 1938” this is in fact a misnomer as the footage only chronicles the filmmaker's journey through Panama to places like Balboa and Panama City.  (Most likely the Mexican portion of the journey was chronicled in another reel of film, now lost.) The ship shown in the film was from the United States Lines and has twin stacks (seen at 1:54). Most likely it is the SS George Washington, SS Manhattan or SS Washington (although these last two ships mostly made runs between Bremen and New York City and not to the Caribbean). United States Lines was the trade name of an organization created to operate German liners seized by the United States in 1917. The Panama Canal Zone was created on November 18, 1903 from the territory of Panama; established with the signing of the Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty, which allowed for the construction of the Panama Canal within the territory by the United States.

Dating to 1966, "The Thrill of a Lifetime" presents the Ford Mustang as a sports car to be reckoned with -- a hard-driving, adrenalin producing, heart-pumping car that drives like a dream and has the soul of an untamed horse -- a car that will take you anywhere, attract the ladies and most importantly leave other drivers in the rear view mirror. The film also emphasizes Ford's racing heritage and prowess, while equating the convertible and hardtop Mustang with leisure, pleasure, speed and excitement. A classic movie promoting an all-American car!

This brief vintage silent film shows an unknown family’s trip to Staten Island as well as notable historic locations in Washington DC in the late 1920’s. Staten Island is the southernmost borough of the five boroughs of New York City. This film displays the attire of the late 1920’s well, as flapper type women in thick fur lined coats and simple cut dresses climb up a ladder (:10). It's not clear exactly what's going on here, but it appears everyone is goofing off and having fun for the camera. Possibly this was an anniversary party for one of the couples?

This particular cartoon, like others in "A Few Quick Facts" series, presents serious information for G.I.s in a way that is easy to digest. Here the message is that a G.I.'s salary goes a long way overseas, and might even destabilize the local economies. Better to invest your paycheck or put it in a bank, then spend it overseas and cause crippling inflation for locals.

This notable film "Baptism of Fire" was produced by the US Army Pictorial Services in WWII. It was created as part of the "Fighting Man" series of films, to prepare U.S. Army recruits for the grim business of combat against Axis troops.  The film has impressive production values and a highly realistic (for the time) battle sequence. After it was released in 1943, the film was nominated for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards (it was also nominated for an Oscar in 1944). The film's plot surrounds the narrative of a G.I. named Bill; who is played by Elisha Cook Jr.  Bill is a green recruit who is new to the front and preparing for his first taste of battle. The film was intended to teach fighting men that by acquiring knowledge, such as how to identify the enemy and learning the basics of how to fight hand to hand, they might reduce their anxiety, and achieve more personal security leading to a higher chance that they will be effective and both survive combat and succeed in the mission. 

The film opens as the Radio Telephone Operator or RTO spots enemy planes flying in formation (:23). He calls the sighting in and the men are called to action (:43). Whistles blow, soldiers dive into dug outs and ready their weapons for firing (:55). The sergeant receives a call the planes have moved to a different direction (1:12). The young soldier Bill appears (2:02) as he is called for detail. An Army ambulance sits spinning stuck in the mud (2:29). As the men work to free the entrenched vehicle, Jim is recognized by a wounded soldier within the ambulance (3:33). Some of the soldiers drift to sleep against their machine guns en route (5:07) to relieve a squadron. Soldiers discuss the moment with which the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/59a10d19-6f4d-4114-9ef1-04d0be51664d/7eb6e317-c0cf-4c60-8b08-6c00f20cb374-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/c4W2uTmfHEEsybJURmJJQn</video:player_loc><video:duration>2120</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T04:44:41.658Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/azQj8dpyK9FFguZj3EzS7g</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/62ddcffb-1f54-4bb5-a1a4-58057064473d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s HOME MOVIE   TRIP TO ROCK OF GIBRALTAR AND CAIRO, EGYPT   XD65404</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This untitled, silent black-and-white home movie depicts an American family's trip around Gibraltar and Cairo, Egypt. While there are no credits, based on the quality of the film as well as the fashion worn this film likely dates to the late 1920s or 1930s. This film offers fascinating insights into these two locations during this period, however, it is worth noting that at times the film itself is overexposed and the footage turns white. While the family is unknown, it appears this film is one of many travelogs made by this couple as they appear in other travelog films through Europe.

This cartoon "Going Home" is part of the Private Snafu series of animated shorts produced by Warner Bros. during World War II. Here, the bumbling title character returns to the USA on leave, and manages to divulge restricted information to enemy spies, which then results in the destruction of his Army unit.  Made in 1944,  "Going Home" was never released, possibly because its portrayal of the home front was deemed too negative by the powers that be. Like other "Snafus", this cartoon features the vocal talents of Mel Blanc and was directed by Chuck Jones. The screenwriters for the Snafu cartoons were typically uncredited, though some animation historians believe that the writer of this short was Theodor Seuss Geisel aka Dr. Seuss.

This educational film is an episode of the TV program titled “Discovery '70” . Discovery aired on ABC from 1962 until 1971 (with each season denoted as "Discovery XX" with XX as the year).

Shot by an unknown American family, this black-and-white 16mm home movie chronicles a family’s gathering at their home in perhaps Woodcliff, New Jersey as well as some of their vacation at the famous Villa d’Este along Lake Como in Italy. While the film has no credits, it was likely made during the early 1930s based on the fashion and automobiles that are seen in the footage and is the first part of a multi-part travelog film chronicling the same family’s vacation around Europe and the Holy Land. This film consists of beautiful shots around Italy’s Lake Como, the grounds of Villa d’Este, and typical 1930s men's and women's fashion.

This educational film, produced in 1975 for the Oregon State University Sea Grant College Program, aims to inform viewers about the workings of a fishing trawler. The crew of a drag boat named Betty A is filmed at work, while the boat's captain narrates the fishing process and the equipment needed for each task. The trawler operated out of Charleston near Coos Bay in Southern Oregon, along the Pacific Ocean. The short video was directed by Charles B. Jackson in the OSU Extension Service Marine Advisory Program. Financial support for the project came from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Sea Grant Program, the State of Oregon, and cooperating Oregon Counties. The film provides interesting footage of a fishing trawler in the 1970s.

This untitled, silent, black-and-white home movie chronicles an American family’s vacation in Italy and Norway / the Faroe Islands. While the film has no credits, it was likely made during the early 1930s due to the fashion and automobiles that are seen in the footage. The film consists of beautiful shots around Italy’s Lake Como at Villa d’Este and Venice and excellent close-ups of buildings typifying the famous Venetian Gothic architectural style. The film goes on to show the family as they travel by cruise ship to the Faroe Islands and explore the idyllic nature found there as well as see some glaciers and icebergs. While the family is unknown, it appears this film is one of many travelogs made by this couple as they appear in other travelog films through Europe.

This 1948 short newsreel, "Weekend at White Sulphur," presented by Old White Productions as part of the "March of Time" newsreel series, highlights the famous and prestigious Greenbrier Resort located near White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. It was a popular destination for celebrities and socialites. The resort's history dates back to the late 1700s when guests flocked to the area to enjoy the mineral springs, believed to have health benefits. Over time, it became a favorite destination for the rich and famous, and it continues to operate as a luxury resort today. The film showcases the resort's grounds, interior, amenities, as well as some of its famous guests, including the then-Duke of Windsor, Edward VIII. The last U.S. president to stay at The Greenbrier during a presidency was Dwight D. Eisenhower. A total of 28 presidents have stayed at the hotel.
(Note: the Greenbrier is also the site of a massive underground bunker that was meant to serve as an emergency shelter for the United States Congress during the Cold War. The bunker was code named "Project Greek Island". The bunker is not shown in the film however as it was considered a state secret at the time of release.)

This 1964 promotional film looks at the development and features of the “Jet Commander”, a twin engine private jet built by Aero Commander, produced by the Rockwell Standard Corporation. (The aircraft is better known today as the IAI Westwind, a name it was given after Rockwell sold the rights to Israel Aircraft Industries in 1958.)  The Jet Commander was presented in the film as the "standard business machine of the air", allowing CEOs to save time by avoiding commercial flights and being able to land at small airports much closer to their destination. The film features extensive footage from the development, construction, testing, and certification of the aircraft. It also shows some of the modern interior design features that were available to customers. 

The Jet Commander was originally designed in the USA by Aero Commander as a development of its twin-propeller namesake aircraft, first flying on January 27, 1963, as the Aero Commander 1121 Jet Commander. After successful testing, the aircraft was put into series production with deliveries to customers beginning in early 1965. Shortly thereafter, Aero Commander was acquired by North American Rockwell. Since Rockwell already had an executive jet of its own design, the Sabreliner, the company decided to sell off the rights to the Jet Commander, which were purchased by IAI in 1968. IAI modified the design and produced planes for almost two decades before manufacture ceased in 1987.

This whimsical 1970s travelogue "The Way It Is..." from the Storyline Company takes viewers through Palm Springs California, highlighting popular spots visitors would frequent. The places that are shown range from the Desert Inn Fashion Plaza (6:52) to Camelot RV Park (21:54). The film is unique, creative and different from most travelogues of this era, in that the director decided to juxtapose scenes of the bustling oasis of Palm Springs with scenes from the deserts of the Middle East. The depictions of the Middle Eastern desert (signified by the music that plays in the background) are a bit problematic, in that they make the narrative a bit hard to follow -- but the film is a charming timewarp nonetheless. A full list of key places in Palm Springs shown in the film appears below. 

Date palms and dates (3:08). Dune buggies (3:41). People drinking mixed drinks at a bar (4:29). 
The Palm Springs Airport fountain (5:05). The film shows aerial footage of Palm Springs neighborhoods (5:44) and a huge trailer park filmed with Airstreams (6:18). The Desert Inn Fashion Plaza (6:52), Bullocks Wilshire (6:54), Saks Fifth Avenue (6:57), I. Macnin &amp; co. (7:01), W&amp;J Sloane (7:03), Robinson’s (7:06), Eva Harbor Interiors (7:08), Clau Ladel (7:10), The Danish Silversmith (7:14), Marge Riley Westerns (7:17), The Basket Shop (7:17), Walker Scott (7:18), Dorothy Gray (7:24), Silverwoods (7:28), Walbur Clarke's Hawaiian Shop (7:35), Lilly Pulitzer of Palm Springs inc (7:38), Marie Geyer (7:41). The film shows the Joseph Magnin M department store and then shows a group of models trying on clothes on display (8:47-9:50) in an open air shopping mall. Palm Springs signpost (10:53).

This 1960s film shows scientist from the US Navy testing a model of a highly experimental, semi-submerged ship in different laboratory and real life conditions. In the laboratory wave tank, they test different wave heights and compare performance to a conventional ship. Afterwards they test maneuverability characteristics with a model in a lake or bay. Not much is known about the semi-submersible ship model shown. It looks similar to a design proposed in 1938 by Frederick G. Creed, a Canadian, who presented an idea for a small-waterplane-area twin-hull aircraft carrier to the British Admiralty. Several years later Creed showed the design to the U.S. Navy, but they did not pursue the concept. In 1959, the U.S. Navy renewed activity in this area, proposing moderately high speed "semi-submerged ships". That work began with H. Boericke proposing a streamlined "shark form" monohull for which he was awarded a patent in 1962. Others expanded on the concept down the line, including 
Dr. Tom Lang of the Naval Underseas Center (NUC) in San Diego who was awarded a patent in 1971. Lang's work led to the creation of the SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) ship.

It shows the work that goes into creating the different soap box cars and the factors that have to be considered before racing. It shows footage from multiple local races, including how each one is a spectacle with a parade and large crowds. The later part of the film shows the different amenities available for local champions and the final national championship.

This 1967 Film produced by Sandia Laboratory Motion Picture Division was directed by Edward Reilly and edited and filmed by Wayne Hancock. It shows the progress that has been made by Sandia Laboratories over the years on how projectiles move through different soil characteristics. It shows several field penetration tests, how these were prepared in the lab, and the mathematics that is behind their predictive models.  Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), also known as Sandia,is one of three research and development laboratories of the United States Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). Headquartered in Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Sandia was established in 1949, SNL is a "multimission laboratory" with the primary goal of advancing U.S. national security by developing various science-based technologies. In 1960, Sandia began studying projectiles moving through Earth — a field it dubbed terradynamics — in pursuit of weapon designs that could successfully pass through different soil environments and operate underground.

This film, "Why Asbestos?"  was presented by the Asbestos Information Committee, displays the benefits and uses of asbestos in everyday products, and argues that the product is needed to prevent fires. The film was part of a propaganda campaign created by the asbestos industry in the USA and UK to push back against growing public and regulatory sentiment against the use of the product. The AIC and several other organizations were created in early 1970, just as the USA's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) began looking into regulating the industry. The goal of the AIC and similar groups was to counteract the growing public attention to and government regulation of asbestos as a serious threat to workers and consumers, to shape public opinion and regulatory policy. Eventually the campaign produced results, with OSHA stipulating that asbestos could continue to be used in a wide variety of consumer products without any warnings about the danger of cancer. This was despite a rich historical literature on asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma dating to early in the 20th century.  This is a Unit 7 Film and it was made in association with The Film Producers Guild Ltd.

No, we don't know what they were smoking!  In this era Northrop was heavily engaged in conducting human factors research, and developing escape systems including ejection seats and parachutes for use in aircraft and spacecraft. This included the work of Dr. John Paul Stapp, who famously rode rocket sleds at Edwards AFB where he became known as the "Fastest Man on Earth". (Stapp also helped name "Murphy's Law" -- see "A History of Murphy's Law" on Amazon for more details).Made by "Lower Rank Productions", "Tough Sledding" is a full color blast into irony, the kind of film that could only have been made in America. It's just surprising it emerged from the very conservative 1950s, where such artistic creations were often frowned upon. Incidentally, the rocket sled shown is likely the one used for the T-38 Talon, which Northrop produced beginning in 1961. Apparently the system required a great deal of work to perfect...as this five minute wonder aptly demonstrates!

Shot by New York filmmaker Mike Olshan, this footage shows the Easter Sunday 1967 Be-in, in Central Park. This was one of several "be-ins" -- 1967 through 1970 -- by the counter-culture generation to protest against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and racism. The Easter 1967 be-in seen here was held at the Sheep Meadow. It was organized by actor Jim Fouratt, magazine editor Paul Williams, the head of the Experiments in Art and Technology organization Susan Hartnett  and Chilean poet and playwright Claudio Badal and advertised with fliers designed by Peter Max.  An estimated 10,000 people, most of them hippies, participated. Members of the New York City police department were present at the rally but did not intervene to stop it. The footage shows various activities including spontaneous dancing, speechmaking, music making, pot smoking and more.

This earthquake devastated Nicaragua's capital city Managua on 31 March. It had a moment magnitude of 6.1 and a maximum MSK intensity of VI (Strong). Between 1,000 and 2,450 people were killed. A major fire started and destroyed thousands of structures, burning into the next day.

The film begins with footage of a U.S. Navy warship USS Colorado on maneuvers, with the crew performing maintenance including painting and other tasks. At 1:12, the crew and ship's band assembles on deck for review by the ship's captain. At 1:58 the ship anchors. An early aircraft carrier, probably USS Saratoga (CV-3) is shown launching aircraft. At 2:27, biplanes fly over the fleet.  At 3:28, an airplane is recovered. At 3:32 a submarine,  probably a member of the S-class, is shown submerging. At 3:55 the captain is shown conducting observations through the periscope. At 4:27 the submarine surfaces. At 4:55 a title card announces that during the fleet maneuver, news of the March 31, 1931 earthquake was received and the Navy decided to respond with food and medicine. At 5:12, torpedo bomber aircraft are loaded to deliver supplies. They fly inland, while additional aircraft are prepared. At 6:20, aerial views of what is probably Managua after the quake. At 6:54, the "errand of mercy" is shown in full swing with Navy personnel feeding the hungry and attempting to clear debris (7:23) in the devastated area. At 7:53, a red cross flag flies from a U.S. Navy ship as a memorial service or Sunday prayer is conducted. The film concludes with the fleet once again on the move. 

USS Colorado (BB-45) was a battleship of the United States Navy that was in service from 1923 to 1947. She was the lead ship of the Colorado class of battleships. Her keel was laid down on 29 May 1919, by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation. She was launched on 22 March 1921, and commissioned o...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/417dee53-ef39-4bca-bedc-87c60f73a4ac/ae72a743-4171-4e65-806b-08caec693e9d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/964pUBGs7oG95CVkWmtzXs</video:player_loc><video:duration>632</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T05:44:27.664Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1SGiiZqqR1A8X9CY1TwKs1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0b96a831-9a41-494a-a40f-7c868a714f11.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s THE BOWERY  / SKID ROW   NEW YORK CITY   HOME MOVIE   XD97645</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to the 1940s, this well shot, silent home movie was filmed by an unknown visitor to New York's famous Bowery. From the 1940s through the 1970s, the Bowery was NYC's "Skid Row," notable for "Bowery Bums" (disaffected alcoholics and unhoused persons). At :22, a large crowd is visible outside what appears to be the Salvation Army soup kitchen. At :37, the Golden Labor Agency, some kind of employment bureau, looms large under the Third Avenue Elevated tracks. Visible in this film are several street people, including a man seen at 2:13 who appears to have his arm in cast — perhaps he was injured on the job and unable to work as a result. At 3:41, a vagrant lies on the sidewalk, while at 4:10 a man smokes while another sleeps off his drink on the sidewalk. At 4:50, the cameraman pans down from a glamor ad in a barbershop window for Wildroot Hair Cream to another bum, lying on the street unconscious.

This episode of the WWII submarine TV show "The Silent Service", hosted by Rear Admiral Thomas Dykers, dates to season two in 1958. "The Tigershark" tells the story of a (re-named but apparently real) submarine. During a war patrol, the skipper of the Tigershark spots an enemy task force, and finds himself having to decide whether to follow his orders or leave the area, or surface and radio headquarters. When the submarine is badly damaged by a depth charge which also injures multiple crewmen, the Chief Electrician braves death by asphyxiation to get power restored to the engines, thus saving the boat and the crew.

The episode stars Robert Brown as Officer Darnell, Dick Van Patten as Lt. Tom Hadley, Terry Becker as Chief Electrician Tomkins, James (Jimmy) Ogg as Ernie Huntley, Sam Buffington as Chief Phil Wilson,  Peter Miller as Lapchick, Ron Foster as Lt. Walker, Don Marzicola as Sonarman and Joe Rozar as Telephone Talker. 

It's possible the episode was created in honor of Chief Electrician's Mate William P. Vrba, who received the Silver Star for gallantry in action while serving aboard a United States Submarine during a war patrol in enemy-controlled waters during World War II.

“NASA Manned Space Flight, Quarterly Report 18”  focuses on the months of July, August and September of 1967 as the Apollo Program advanced, with on-going work shown on the preparation of the Saturn V rocket for its first launch as part of Apollo 4. The film also shows some of the changes made to the Command Module as a result of the disastrous Apollo I fire. This third quarter of 1967 brought NASA and the USA close to the climax of space flight programs which would be the manned lunar landing mission of Apollo 11 (:31). Advancements began with the unmanned maiden flight of the massive Apollo-Saturn V rocket on Nov. 9, 1967, for the mission known as Apollo 4 (1:09). A breakdown of its three stages and who built them (1:39) is presented, specifically noting the single engine third stage would be shut down and reignited for the first time (2:17). Other firsts for this flight include the test module for the lunar landings was to be flown (2:45) and the service module was to undergo the longest continuous burn in space (2:52). New mission support ground facilities were also being constructed including a new launch complex (3:28), a new launch control center (3:35), new instrumentation facilities (3:44) and new mission control and computer facilities (3:58). Mission plans follow (4:20) showing the mission was to take about 8 and ¾ hours and where the re-entry point was to be (4:42). At launch complex 39 at the JFK Center (4:48) the first Apollo Saturn V is pictured moving from the vehicle assembly building to launch pad A (4:55). For the first time, all the Apollo ground support facilities were to be unified into a large operational complex (5:45). Some tests conducted and shown are on the umbilical arms to ensure safe detachment and swing back (6:07), check outs for the first Apollo Saturn V at pad A (6:21) a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2c317c90-c3d5-4351-a6d8-a65165271f2e/e67ab93c-3e32-4d79-9932-7bf9e7608656-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6svWUs6hktUPeEcRWE1GzU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1076</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T05:47:24.862Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sQAgG76sNUppRKn8fqV82H</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dc49e71f-34a2-4897-8af2-31dea78b17ab.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1973 U.S. ARMY M16A1 RIFLE  CYCLE OF FUNCTIONING &amp; IMMEDIATE ACTION  M-16 ARMALITE AR-15 32464</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This film "Sun and Dust" is a Colorventure Production made in 1957 by filmmakers Lawrence and Nadine Randall, as part of a series of travelogues they called "World Colorventures”. The film portrays a trip South from the U.S. border to Guadalajara and back, covering various natural sites, tourist attractions, and local crafts. Lawrence Randall was a Chicago-based clothing company executive who, in his spare time, made travel films with his wife Nadine. "Sun and Dust" was eventually distributed by the Chicago school system in an hour-long version, as well as this short version. Another film by the Randalls for Easter Seals, entitled "The Brightest Jewel" was screened nationwide by the Rotary Club and other organizations as part of fundraising efforts.

Suggested Title “Fundamental Turning Maneuvers” 1972 Road Instruction Film on How to Turn a Car
This 1972 road instruction film looks at things to keep in mind while turning a car. It includes remembering the tracking difference, continually evaluating your position, and making steering adjustments. The film demonstrates this with a driver making several turns and lane switches. These are shown in both third and first person.  Note: this film appears distorted because it was meant to be used with a driving simulator such as a Drivotrainer or Doron.

This 1950s film produced from the Southern Pacific railroad highlights the dangers for children of playing on rails and in railyards. The film goes over basic things to keep in mind like not trespassing on railroad property, not committing acts of vandalism like throwing rocks at passing trains, not walking on rails or switches, not playing between sitting cars, and waiting patiently until the lights and bells go off before entering a crossing. A friendly train engineer explains this to a group of children who he caught breaking into a railyard. This film was shot by Ed Carroll and Norm Butler, directed by Pete Oakeshott and edited by Ed Carroll. It is believed that most of the film was shot in Southern Pacific's Oakland Terminal in Oakland, California. It contains footage of both steam locomotive and diesels, as the 1950s were a time of transition. Steam locos lasted well into the late 1950s on major American railroads, and in isolated cases into the middle 1960s on small common carrier roads.

A finger wave is a method of setting hair into waves that was popular in the 1920s and early 1930s and again in the late 1990s in North America and Europe. The process involved pinching the hair between the fingers and combing the hair in alternating directions to make an "S" shape wave.

This 1953 film "Highways and Byways, U.S.A." was made by the "Farm Roads Foundation" as part of a surreptitious public awareness campaign by the Western Association of Railroads. The film and the campaign itself were intended to undermine the long-haul trucking industry in the eyes of the public, by making the point that tractor trailer trucks do not pay their fair share of highway construction and maintenance costs. "Highways and Byways" was in fact entered into evidence in a 1957 antitrust case brought by interstate long-haul truckers and the Pennsylvania Motor Truck Association against the the Eastern Railroad Presidents Conference. In the end, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the railroads' publicity campaign was protected by the First Amendment, and dismissed the trucking industries' claims.  

The film was made by Dudley Pictures of Hollywood and shown for free in movie theaters.  It was apparently based on an article by Emilie Hall, "You Can Have Better Roads" originally published in Country Gentlemen Magazine. The film dramatizes the efforts that farmers have to go through to get country roads repaired by the state. The point of the film is that farm roads in places like Dexter County are in very poor repair, harming everyday people, and that the government should fund better roads -- presumably by taxing the trucking industry. 

The film begins with images of modern highways and interstates, as well as a rural farm road (0:55) A red 1950's era Chevrolet truck is driving down a dirt road.

“The Feast of Lots PURIM” (0:11) is a short, educational film produced by Israel Motion Picture Studios Herzliyah, and directed by S. Sternfeld. The film is part of a series, each starts on a book cover reading “Holidays in Israel” (0:06). The book opens to reveal the film title, and then the opening credits (0:18). Purim is a Jewish holiday which commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from annihilation at the hands of an official of the Achaemenid Empire named Haman, as it is recounted in the Book of Esther (usually dated to the 5th century BCE).

When the film fades in again, there are children running (0:29) and playing in masks (0:35); a marching band goes by with children in costumes and playing tambourines (0:38). There are giraffes as well (0:44). An entertainer on stilts waves his very tall hat (0:48) at a wonderfully festive crowd at the zoo (0:54). The crowd is full of people in an astonishing array of masks and costumes (0:56). The monkeys are not the main attraction on this day (1:04). A cardboard robot is spotted in the crowd (1:05), while an acrobat holds an impressive handstand in front of a line of Israeli flags (1:09). One boy is dressed as a hospital patient, and is attended by a little girl dressed as his nurse (1:15). All this is happening alongside the giraffes and the fairground rides (1:22).

A shot of clowns in the crowd (1:46) cuts to a clown poster at a synagogue (1:50). The camera pans over to reveal a man conducting a choir, standing beside a table full of bread. Children in their Purim costumes are singing and chanting (2:01). 

A group of boys are chanting together (2:06).

Shot in 1937, this silent home movie film by an American tourist shows a trip to Key West, Florida as well as Cuba, featuring popular tourist activities.  During this era, Cuba became a favored destination for American tourists, particularly during the Prohibition era when looser restrictions on alcohol and nightlife were sought after. The 1930s witnessed a surge in luxury hotels and casinos in Cuba, attracting affluent Americans and solidifying the United States' economic and political influence in the country.

(00:04) Footage of a Pan Am Flying Boat, an aircraft commonly used for passenger travel in the Caribbean during the 1930s. This appears to be a  Sikorsky S-40 flying for Pan American Airways. The location is probably Miami. 
(00:41) A flying boat is capable of taking off and landing on water.
(01:08) Tourists enjoy a car ride.
(01:23) Americans swim in the water.
(01:59) Three young individuals pose outside a house.
(02:55) Footage of women biking.

"McCarthy vs. Welch" is a 1964 documentary produced by David L. Wolper, as part of the series entitled “Men in Crisis.” It examines the Army-McCarthy hearings of 1954, which were televised and played a pivotal role in establishing Senator Joseph McCarthy's reputation. The hearings focused on McCarthy's accusations that the U.S. Army harbored communists, and the Army's counter-claim that McCarthy pressured them for special favors. The hearings turned into a television spectacle that solidified McCarthy's image as an aggressive politician. Notably, Joseph Welch, the Army's special counsel, famously asked McCarthy, "Have you no decency, sir?" The documentary includes valuable footage of Welch, McCarthy, and other key figures from the hearings.

Produced in the 1940s, this vocational guidance film made by Carl F. Mahnke Productions demonstrates the industrial applications of air conditioning, ventilation and heating. This was part of a series of vocational guidance films produced by the company and this video’s focus on air conditioning and heating illuminates the growing importance of air conditioning and climate control in the United States as well as the new careers that emerged from its rise. The educational film contains valuable footage of air conditioning technology in the 1940s in addition to footage of students and apprentices learning their craft. 

Though Willis Carrier invented modern air conditioning in 1902, the technology took time before it became a fixture of American life. At first, its use was reserved for commercial and industrial settings that required a certain temperature such as printing and textile plants. Following World War II and the ensuing economic boom, air conditioning grew increasingly common in residential settings.

This short informational film, made prior to the Apollo 11 Moon Landing in 1969, features a NASA technician demonstrating the components of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP). ALSEP was a collection of scientific instruments deployed by astronauts on the moon to conduct experiments. These experiments provided valuable information about the moon, and the data was transmitted back to Earth through the central station, one of the package's components. ALSEP could be operated remotely from Earth, and the data and measurements it collected offered important insights into the moon's seismic activity, magnetic field, and ionosphere.

This silent film footage shows NASA tests of a prototype spacesuit. This is likely either an SPD-143 Apollo Developmental AX1-L, made by International Latex Corporation (also known as ILC Industries) starting in 1963, or and A5-L Apollo Prototype, also made by ILC Industries starting around 1965. The footage shows a subject donning the suit, a process that takes 8-9 minutes, and then performing a series of mobility tests, before removing the suit.

This 1970s promotional film, which takes place at Rudy Schmid’s Body Shop, shows viewers how easy and cost effective it is to build your own Dune Buggy. The film goes through all steps from finding the right car as a base, to applying the kit, and driving it around yourself. It features extensive footage of the outside and inside of the VW Beetle and the step-by-step remodeling done on it. The film was directed by Larry Wood, with cinematography by James Underwood and Phil Hagadorn.  It was narrated by Jack Shannon with technical assistance by Paul Schmid. Note: it's not clear if Larry Wood is the same man who designed the famed Hot Wheels dune buggy the Baja Bug, but it seems quite likely!

This film on Algiers, the capital of Algeria, opens with an animated drawing of a city landscape of the city itself. The City of Algiers. This black and white, 3:46 minute, silent film takes us through some of the truest landscapes of urban Algiers. The film is of general high quality, considering its age and shows excellent detail of some of the most beautiful scenery in Algiers. The ancient harbor of the Barbary Pirates is dominated now by palaces of modern commerce. A view of the city from the harbor, with boats and ships in the forefront: 21. Large ramps with pedestrians and horse-drawn carts climb into the city on huge ramps: 30. The sons of the sea-roving Barbary corsairs of yesterday are the harbor boatmen of today… :39. Men pull ships to shore with large ropes, pulling in unison: 42. Sailors tying knots and mending sails on the docks :50. The aspect of the streets is surprisingly Parisian…: 54. A trolley car rumbles down the road in front of the Hotel Geneve 1:04. A sidewalk café with men standing around 1:12. But the markets are still redolent of the Islam and the East 1:13. Algerian men swarm the marketplace 1:22. Livestock can be seen walking through the market 1:27. The Mosque of the Fisherman or Mosque of the Fisherman's Wharf overlooks the busy center of “infidel” activities… 1:31. Djamaʽa el Djedid (also rendered Djamaa al-Djedid, or Jamaa El Jedid (meaning New Mosque) is a mosque in Algiers, the capital of Algeria. It is dated to 1660/1070 AH by an inscription over its main entrance portal. That inscription also attributes its construction to al-Hajj Habib, a Janissary governor of the Algiers region appointed by the Ottoman imperial administration in Istanbul. During the French colonial rule, the mosque was called the Mosquée de la Pêcherie and in English the Mosque of the Fisherman's Wharf (Mesdjed el-Haoutin).

This silent home movie shows various scenes, including footage of the ocean liner SS Conte Biancamano in New York City in the later years of the 1920’s. It also features footage shot near Smith's Baths at the Steeplechase Pier in Atlantic City, as well as in Holland. 

Much of the film shows the cruise aboard the SS Conte Biancamano ocean liner. It also shows with great detail the fashion of the traveler in the 1920’s, including flappers. Fashion was known for being glitz and glam as many women wore pearls and long jackets lined with thick tufts of fur and simply cut dresses underneath. Men dressed mostly in casual suits. The film opens with long shots of well-dressed vacationers (:10). Close shots of the women show the snug cloche, felt and bucket hats indicative of the era (:31). Guests wave off the camera man (1:11). The outside of the ship is captured (1:29). New York City skyscrapers rise in the background (1:16). Lifesaving boats hang to the side (1:23). Women hold flowers to be photographed with (2:13). Women wearing thick fur lined coats stand next to men in straw hats and casual suits (3:04). Passengers dance and fool around in front of the camera (4:10). The camera moves over the cruiser liner (6:22). Soldiers on horseback line the shore line (6:42) as part of a parade. Waves crash along the shoreline (7:31). At (7:49) the Steeplechase pier and Smith's Baths in Atlantic City is briefly visible.

A family in formal attire moves towards the camera for photographs (8:58).

This educational film "Seward's Folly" (1938) is about the United States’ acquisition of Alaska in 1867 that was negotiated and signed by Secretary of State William Seward (at that time many people believed it was a hopeless waste of money, thus "Seward's Folly"). The film is also about the people who settled in the territory, which are referred to as “sourdoughs,” in hopes of finding gold and beginning a new life. The film features the beauty of Alaskan nature as well as Alaska’s mining, fishing, and tourism industries. Although the film does not have the main title or end credits, we believe it was released by Nu-Art in 1938.

This 1950’s era film is presented by the Model Railroader Magazine. The Model Railroader Magazine is an American magazine about the hobby of model railroading that was founded in 1934 by Al C. Kalmbach. It features O-gauge model trains, layout tours, how-to projects, prototype information, track plans and more. It was a production of K&amp;S Films. Model trains from Lionel Lines (and probably American Flyer as well) are featured prominently in this film, as well as Plasticville model buildings and accessories. This film explores why building model railroads is an excellent hobby. It briefly details the history of how model railroading came to be a hobby and goes into detail about why everyone can enjoy building model railroads. 

The film begins with a quote from the Life of Sir William Osler (0:26). A train is seen moving along a railroad track (1:08), capturing the essence of rail travel. Various hobbies are shown including hunting and playing golf. The film shows someone adding the final touches to a model railroad (2:07), followed by zoomed-in shots of model trains, including ones branded with Will Ruth and NYC (2:53). Additional model trains are displayed, featuring a Virginian coal car (3:03).

TOBACCO HEALTH WARNING:  Tobacco kills more than 8 million people each year. More than 7 million of those deaths are the result of direct tobacco use. Smoking causes stroke and coronary heart disease, which are among the leading causes of death in the United States. Even people who smoke fewer than five cigarettes a day can have early signs of cardiovascular disease. Smoking damages blood vessels and can make them thicken and grow narrower.

Presented by Bill Singer, “Il Mondo: Hong Kong” is a color, travelog style film likely from the late 1960s that was part of an obscure series by Mai Tai Film Productions and distributed by Crown International Television of Beverly Hills. The film takes a close look at the sites and cultures of Hong Kong emphasizing the duality of the territory - one defined by immense wealth and extreme poverty. While the film appears to be a travelog film, it can also be considered an anti-Communist propaganda film that uses the duality of prosperity and suffering to criticize “Red China” as well as East and West Berlin.

A Transfilm production, this black-and-white short promotional film "Mr. O'Flynn's 50 Million Wheels" dates to 1956 and was made in conjunction with the National Auto Dealers Association. This print is not complete. The film sheds light on the importance of large and small delivery vehicles and trucks. The film features a story written by Burton J. Rowles, which is framed around the work of a logistics-oriented angel named O'Flynn who is breaking in a new assistant named O'Toole. The one line of the film is "how the 50 million wheels of America's trucks keep products, goods and services moving". The movie shows various delivery vehicles and trucks and underscores their importance as paramount agents of development and change. Although it is unclear who is behind the film, it is important to note that Ford ran a number of commercial campaigns in the 1940s centering the importance of Ford trucks with some of the models featured in this film.

"The Nautilus Story" is one of the many episodes of the classic TV show "The Silent Service," produced by California National Productions in Hollywood. This fascinating program was executive produced by Rear Admiral Thomas Dykers, who also hosted the show. Each episode was based on actual wartime patrols conducted by U.S. Navy submarines during WWII. In this episode from season 1,  the Nautilus is assigned to observation duty at Tarawa and caught between U.S. and Japanese gunfire. The inspiration for this episode was a war patrol In November of 1943, when USS Nautilus attempted an intelligence gathering mission to gather weather and surf conditions for a landing by the Marines.  On 19 November, mistaking her for a Japanese submarine, the destroyer USS Ringgold (DD-500) fired at Nautilus while she was off Maiana in the Gilbert Islands. Although the boat was hit, the shell did not explode and the submarine did not suffer any casualties. Within two hours of the incident, repairs were sufficient to allow Nautilus to continue with her primary mission: landing a 78-man scouting party, composed of 5th Amphibious Reconnaissance Company Marines and an Australian scout, on Abemama.

This episode was directed by Jean Yarbrough, written by Tony Barrett, cinematography Howard Schwartz, and starring Thomas M.

This 1958 film "Crowded Out" was produced by the National Education Association. It urges parents and educators to join together to solve the problem of overcrowding in schools. The film features a teacher that wants to resign after her class size doubles and she has to resort to mass teaching, which does not allow her to give individual attention to each child. The mother of a left behind child sees the condition of the school and begins attending school board meetings to help improve the funding situation for the school.  Official description: Film urging parents to join forces with educators to solve school overcrowding during the 1950s baby boom. In Crowded Out, a teacher is assigned so many students that she is unable to respond to their individual needs and must resort to rote instruction. Dissatisfied, she plans to resign. The film recommends that parents work through their parent-teacher associations to secure increased school funding.

The Latin American Fiesta Association of Tampa Bay elected a beauty queen and her court -- known as "princesses" -- and sponsored an exotic trip for them every year.  Most of the time, the trips included a visit to Spain, so that contestants of Hispanic descent could learn about their Spanish heritage. This travelogue from 1970 shows the royal group touring Europe through England, France, and Spain, and finally sailing over the Mediterranean Sea to Morocco. The film has photography by Jack Jarvis, edited by Carl Goldman of WFLA TV, narrated by Paul Jones, and the film is processed by Leo Fasil.

This episode of the ABC series “Bold Journey” dates to 1953 and is narrated by John Stephenson. It tells the story of Edward Durden, who flew to the deserted Island of San Miguel in Southern California together with his son Kent. The film features footage of their plane landing and taking off in very diverse scenery, as well as aerial shots taken from the belly of the aircraft. Durden and his son feed foxes, explore an abandoned ranch, look at tree casings of an old forest, explore the wreckage of a crashed B-25 bomber, interact with elephant seals, and explore the remains of a Native American settlement. (Note: Kent Durden later wrote the book "Gifts of an Eagle" which told the story of how his family adopted a Golden Eagle brought home to the family ranch in Carpinteria by his father!)

“United In Progress” (1963) is a color, documentary by Charles Guggenheim for the Information Services of the United States documenting President John F. Kennedy’s trip to San Jose, Costa Rica in March 1963 for the Conference of Presidents of the Central American Republic and Panama. The film first depicts vibrant scenes of life in Costa Rica and the enthusiastic crowds waiting to witness JFK’s arrival. The film then goes on to display footage from across Central America giving the viewer an understanding of daily life and the economic development underway at the time. JFK was the first American president to visit Costa Rica and as a result this trip was of utmost importance. It is interesting to note that this film is a Greek-language film and narration is completely in Greek.

Shot sometime between 1966-1975, this silent footage (likely a silent version or "rough cut" of a sound USAF recruitment film) shows the 617th Military Airlift Command, which at this time was operating from Da Nang Air Base and/or Pleiku Air Base, South Vietnam. At this time, MAC provided long-range strategic airlift from bases in the United States to Military Airlift Support Squadrons (MASS) located on Pacific Air Forces bases in the Pacific AOR. MAC was the primary strategic airlift organization of the Air Force until 1974, when USAF tactical airlift units in the Tactical Air Command (TAC) were merged into MAC to create a unified airlift organization.

The film shows some of the operations of the unit, as well as the perks of flying with MAC. It begins with footage in Hawaii, as a member of a C-141 Starlifter air crew receives a lei prior to departing on a flight across the Pacific to Vietnam. At 1:46 the crew receives a weather briefing. At 3:57 the aircraft arrives in Vietnam. At 4:24 the 617th's Airlift Command Post is shown. At 5:00, equipment is unloaded from the aircraft. At 5:44, a crew member's patch is shown reading 844th Military Airlift Group. At 8:09, the air crew is shown on R&amp;R in what is likely Japan or Okinawa. At 10:59, they attend a luau in Hawaii.

This travelogue is part of a travelogue series created by John Hutter called "Travel Adventure". Hutter created these films during the late 1940s and early 1950s, and intended to present them to guests at his hotel / resort called Chateau Hutter at Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin (thus, the credit "Chateau Hutter Films").  Hutter photographed, hosted, narrated, and directed the film. Here, he travels across Canada from the Lake of the Woods in Western Ontario and westward to the Canadian Rockies, depicting Canadian cities, agriculture, and national parks. Hutter's personal history was somewhat tragic; after a dispute with the local Door County Chamber of Commerce, his hotel was omitted from their advertising and eventually forced to close. It remains abandoned to the present day.

This WWII era training film produced by Signal Corps in 1941 looks at the different structural units of an aircraft, the materials used in each one, and discusses elementary physics that affect airplane performance and durability. These structural units are the fuselage, wings, control surfaces, and landing gear. The film ends by showing how different loads affect the structure of the aircraft. The airplane shown at the start of the film appears to be a North American P-64, also known as the North American Aviation NA-68 fighter. Six NA-68s ordered by the Royal Thai Air Force were seized before export by the US government in 1941, and used by the USAAC as unarmed fighter trainers.

This film "The Search for Extraterrestrial Life" is an episode from the series the “The Science Reporter” which was a regularly recurring report on the latest scientific developments and had a special focus on the U.S. space program. This episode focuses on the potential for extraterrestrial life and the current programs that the U.S. has to investigate other planets such as Mars. It was hosted by M.I.T graduate John Fitch. It was produced by NASA in association with WGBH-TV Boston. It was directed by Russell Morash. Official description: The topic of this episode is exobiology, the new science that explores the possibility of, and prospects for, life in outer space. John Fitch is host on location at Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. The idea of life existing elsewhere in the universe has intrigued scientist for centuries. At Ames Research Center in Moffet Field, California, Dr. Richard Young, Chief of the Exobiology Division, shows Reporter Fitch some unique research techniques that may disclose the chemical evolution of life on Earth and perhaps on other planets. Dr. Young then explains how, once life has begun, it is capable of adapting to diverse and hostile environments, such as that on Mars. Finally, Reporter Fitch is shown a fully automated laboratory that one day may be landed on a planet and return data to Earth about the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

The episode opens with a male scientist sitting in front of a globe (0:09).

The educational film "Artwork in Motion" by the Calvin Company, a producer of industrial films, likely dates back to the late 1950s/early 1960s. It was part of a series of "Workshop" films aimed at promoting the company to potential clients, and educating the public. The film provides an overview of animation techniques used in industrial and educational films, including optical effects, pop-up animation, wipe-off animation, cycle animation, and more. It also highlights common presentation mistakes and offers "do's and don'ts" for information delivery. The Calvin Company, founded in 1931 by Forrest and Betty Calvin, was based in Kansas City.  For nearly half a century, it was one of the largest and most successful film producers of its type in the USA.

This 1965 film produced and directed by Bud Woods looks at the construction of a new oil pipeline from Cushing, Oklahoma to East Chicago, Indiana by the Sinclair Oil Corporation (most likely what is now called the “Enbridge Spearhead pipeline”). The film begins by showing old infrastructure such as pumping stations and a pipeline network that will be replaced by the new one. This is followed by detailed footage of the construction of the pipeline in different environments and the challenges and engineering specificities that came with them. This includes transportation, welding, and sealing of pipes to form the pipeline. Some of the geographic challenges include different types of terrain like rivers, rocky ground, roads and railroad tracks, and forested areas.

Shot by an American railroad fan (mostly) in Europe, this lengthy reel shows wonderful views of European tram and trolley lines as well as the famed Wuppertaler Schwebebahn railway (:44-6:40). At (7:15), U.S. Army liveried steam locomotives are seen, including one marked #606. This is one of the United States Army Transportation Corps S160 Class of 2-8-0 Consolidation steam locomotives, designed for heavy freight work in Europe during World War II. The location is not known for this footage, but it doesn't appear to be Europe -- probably more likely Ft. Eustis, Virginia where it operated on the Fort Eustis Military Railway in the late 1950's. This Lima 8784 locomotive is now re-lettered to Norfolk and Western #606 and part of the Crewe Railroad Museum. At (11:30), shots of an electrified mountain railway, possibly in Switzerland (an out-of-focus station name in German is visible at 13:30). At (14:45), U.S. Army jeep and tram is shown in front of what is believed to be the Frankfurt, Germany train station. The trams shown in this footage seem to include Frankfurt M series articulated trams, as well as Frankfurt L and Frankfurt K series 4-wheel trams. At (19:21), a tram with destination sign for the Hohemark subway station in Oberusel, is shown. At (22:48), Swiss electric locomotive #589 type Ae 6/6. At (24:31) the entrance to the tunnel through the Schollenen Gorge, known as the Gotthard Eisenbahn-Tunnel, is shown. A switch engine hauls a train at (24:48). At (25:51) an incline or funicular railroad is shown, possibly the Pilatus Railway. Swiss Federal Railways train enters station at (27:56).

The film likely dates to 1937 as the creator of this film sailed on the S.S. Matsonia from San Francisco to Honolulu, a former World War I troopship that returned to its prior commercial function with the Matson Navigation Company in 1937. This film is part of a larger series of films from the same trip that begins in the Grand Canyon and ends in Honolulu. While the filmmaker behind this film remains unknown, it appears his family came to visit other family members stationed at Fort Shafter and turned it into a vacation. More generally, the films offer interesting insights into the development of tourism in Hawaii which rapidly expanded during the 1920s and 30s. At this time there were a few hotels in Waikiki - the Royal Hawaiian, Moana Surfrider, and Halekulani Hotel  - and Hawaiian music had piqued the interests of those on the "mainland" through popular radio shows such as Hawaii Calls.  This particular film, mostly depicts scenes taken in and around “Coconut Grove,” which likely refers to an area in Waikiki called Helumoa located besides the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Here, hula dancers related to David Kaonohiokala Bray perform traditional dances and music. David and his wife Lydia, were credited with developing Hawaii’s tourism industry through the art of hula dance. The pair made it their mission to stop nearly a century of denigration of hula by Christian missionaries and reinsert hula into everyday public life. Throughout the 1920s and 30s, they taught classes in ancient religious practices, chant, hula, legends, and language. By the 1930s, like other Hawaiians of the time, they created a self-sustaining enterprise as entertainers for tourists to the islands.

In the 1950s, at the height of the Cold War, NATO developed ZELL – the Zero-Length Launch system, using rocket-assisted F-104 Starfighters and other primary attack aircraft. This program would have allowed dispersal of aircraft to remote areas, protecting them during a first strike while simultaneously allowing them to respond quickly to an enemy threat. This silent film from the test program shows a JATO launch of a dummy sled, and then a JATO launch of an actual  Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. The idea behind ZELL was similar to a sister program, the Short Air Field for Tactical Support or SATS program.  SATS was a test program to allow the F-104 to take-off and land on short runways. SATS featured a runway with an aluminum surface of interlocking lightweight metal alloy planking, a catapult and a carrier deck-type arresting gear. The SATS tests were carried out at the Naval Air Test Facility in Lakehurst, U.S. where a few hundred take-offs and landings were successfully completed. The ZELL tests were probably conducted at the same locale.Airstrike From Anywhere is a short film about the new portable, temporary airstrip capabilities of the U.S. Navy. The film opens with a Lockheed F-104 Starfighter taxing for take-off. The F-104 flies through the air. The film shows the plane’s tail hook. The F-104 lands (00:51) on a temporary runway constructed of interlocking mats manufactured by Harvey Aluminum, Inc. At the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station in El Toro, CA (01:26), F-104s are tested on the short 2,000-foot runway. An aerial view shows the construction of the runway at the test site (02:00). Mats for the runway are laid in a brick-like pattern (02:40). Men adapt an F-104, giving it a ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/df1e655f-9ebb-40c5-b400-1e784c8b88d0/c6c4c6f5-1aaa-4f58-8df4-39b0d76e9d4c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/txZL2yvxhVpnYSNE2sZkkN</video:player_loc><video:duration>177</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T07:47:15.596Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kC14mgtriepUa2tKy8FvXs</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2edb1922-b210-44e5-9371-4a624bf32b59.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“DRAGSTRIP” 1960s DRAG RACING IN UNITED KINGDOM   CASTROL OIL PROMO FILM  DON GARLITS    XD81224</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

The film likely dates to 1937 as the cameraman of this film sailed on the S.S. Matsonia from San Francisco to Honolulu. Matsonia was a former World War I troopship that returned to its prior commercial function with the Matson Navigation Company in 1937. This film is part of a larger series of films from the same trip that begins in the Grand Canyon in Arizona and ends in Honolulu. While the filmmaker behind this film remains unknown, it appears his family came to visit other family members stationed at Fort Shafter and turned it into a vacation. More generally, the films offer interesting insights into the development of tourism in Hawaii which rapidly expanded during the 1920s and 30s. At this time there were a few hotels in Waikiki - the Royal Hawaiian, Moana Surfrider, and Halekulani Hotel  - and Hawaiian music had peaked the interests of those on the "mainland" through popular radio shows such as Hawaii Calls. This particular installment features footage around Waikiki including surfers along Waikiki Beach, a fruit plantation, and important business establishments in Waikiki from Gump’s to Lau Yee Chai Chinese restaurant. The film ends with scenes around Fort Shafter as a relative of the filmmaker engages in preparations for a review at the base.

It also includes footage of the L-100, C-133A Cargomaster, and Lockheed JetStar.

The reel begins with footage shot by Lockheed Georgia in early 1963, showing a C-130 #12358 in Military Air Transport Service livery making a series of takeoffs and landings on a rough air strip at Shaw Air Force Base. There are markers on the field to indicate takeoff and landing distances. At 3:51, an off-runway landing and takeoff is made at Yuma, Arizona. At 6:57, an early Lockheed C-141A Starlifter is shown landing at what appears to be Edwards Air Force Base in California. At 8:59, a prototype C-5 Galaxy is seen making a landing at Edwards' dry lakebed. At 10:53 is footage of the tires of the aircraft. At 11:20 it makes a takeoff from the dry lake. At 11:39, brief footage of a Lockheed JetStar business jet, similar to a Learjet. At 11:53, a Hercules makes a low pass and drops equipment off the rear ramp. At 12:08, aerial refueling of two F-4 Phantoms is shown by a KC-130. At 12:18, aerial footage of C-133As flying in formation in the arctic. At 12:22, a Hercules retrieves a target using a hook array known as a Fulton surface-to-air recovery system (STARS).  At 12:36, a Delta Airlines cargo aircraft is shown — Delta Air Freighter is a Lockheed L-100, which was the civilian version of the C-130 Hercules.  At 12:51, the main gate of Edwards Air Force Base is shown. At 13:36, an early C-141 Starlifter takes off and is refueled in the air. At 15:24, a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, possibly a prototype, takes off and lands. 

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is an American four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin). Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft.

This untitled black-and-white home-style travelog film depicts the family vacation of an upper class family in Hawaii. The film is part of a series, and likely dates to around 1937. The filmmaker sailed on the S.S. Matsonia from San Francisco to Honolulu, a former World War I troopship that returned to its prior commercial function with the Matson Navigation Company in 1937. Other films in this series (showing the same trip that begins in the Grand Canyon, Arizona and ending in Honolulu) can be seen on our channel. While the filmmaker behind this film remains unknown, it appears his family came to visit other family members stationed at Fort Shafter and turned it into a vacation. More generally, the films offer interesting insights into the development of tourism in Hawaii which rapidly expanded during the 1920s and 30s. At this time there were a few hotels in Waikiki - the Royal Hawaiian, Moana Surfrider, and Halekulani Hotel  - and Hawaiian music had piqued the interests of those on the "mainland" through popular radio shows such as Hawaii Calls. This particular installment features footage from the the S.S. Matsonia’s departure from Honolulu Harbor with happy vacationers returning to the mainland. Additionally, the film shows more of the water activities that happen at Waikiki Beach as well as some other popular pastimes like tennis.

This silent German film was made to help train Luftwaffe air crew and anti-aircraft defense forces to recognize friend and foe aircraft. This particular film focuses on transport aircraft. It begins with what appears to be a Caudron C.440 Goéland ("seagull"), a six-seat twin-engine utility aircraft developed in France in the mid-1930s. At 3:09 the Douglas DC-3, also known as the PS-84 in the Soviet Union's service, is shown. A Soviet DC-3 is seen at 5:45. At 6:50 the Boston or Havoc is shown. The Douglas A-20 Havoc (company designation DB-7) was an American medium bomber, attack aircraft, night intruder, night fighter, and reconnaissance aircraft of World War II. The British version is also shown. At 10:48 the Heinkel HD-177 is shown. The Heinkel He 177 Greif (Griffin) was a long-range heavy bomber flown by the Luftwaffe during World War II. The introduction of the He 177 to combat operations was significantly delayed, by both problems with the development of its engines and frequent changes to its intended role. Nevertheless, it was the only long-range, heavy bomber to become operational with the Luftwaffe during the war. The He 177 had a payload/range capability similar to that of four-engined heavy bombers used by the Allies in the European theatre.

It is interesting to note that at this time both swimwear and beauty standards had begun to shift dramatically. As swimwear became more form fitting women were encouraged to be slimmer and exercise more. Additionally, being tan was no longer equated with the working class but rather of someone who had “holidayed.”

This 1960 color travelog style film titled “Schley Ride to Vacation Land” was produced by Norman Schley, a skilled filmmaker from Waukesha, Wisconsin, who made a series of amateur films under the moniker "Schley Rides" and/or "Picturelogue." Some of his films aired on television, while others were shown in front of live audiences, with Norm narrating the scenes. (Unfortunately, in this instance we have no recording of Norm's voice.) 

This particular film "Schley Ride to Vacation Land" takes viewers along to Toronto, Ontario, Canada where they are immersed in the fun and sites of the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). The film opens with a montage of footage beginning with views from a TCA plane and then from walking around the grounds of the CNE. The CNE, also known as The Exhibition or The Ex, is an annual event that takes place at Exhibition Place in Toronto during the final 18 days leading up to and including Canadian Labour Day, the first Monday in September. Inaugurated in 1879, to promote agriculture and technology in Canada, today the CNE is Canada’s largest annual fair.

This amateur shot home movie chronicles the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival -- an annual event held on the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday in Trinidad and Tobago. This event is well known for participants' colorful costumes and exuberant celebrations. There are numerous cultural events such as "band launch fetes" running in the lead up to the street parade on Carnival Monday and Tuesday. This short eight minute film likely dates to the late 1930s based on the automobiles that are seen in the background of some of the footage. The film features footage taken around Port of Spain, Trinidad along the corner of Frederick St. and Marine (Independence) Square in front of historic business storefronts such as Salvatori, Scott, &amp; Co. and J.T. Johnson Ltd. 

Crowd of people gather in open square; Observers line dance circle while performers in extravagant costumes filled the central space - perhaps funeral as women dressed in white appearing to be nuns walk beside corpse bound in white cloth (0:08). Covered seating area for observers; Perhaps dignified guests (0:51). Festivities continue on through streets of town; horse-drawn carts stop for “traffic” of dancers and festival participants (0:57). Group of young men in costumes resembling warriors (1:27). Another group of carnival goers stand in costumes made in fabric donning the Union Jack flag, 1930s Ford Model A seen just behind them (1:36). Men set up for stunt performance along Marine (Independence) Square in Port of Spain, Trinidad (2:06).

This WWII film produced for aircraft and ground crews by the Boeing Company looks at how to weigh a B-29 Superfortress and how to perform load weight, center of gravity and balance calculations. The first part of the film shows technicians using a weight kit and jacks to take different readings of the weight of a B-29 Bomber. This is followed by the weight officer taking the different readings and using them to calculate the weight and moments in order to compute the basic index, which is needed for determining the center of gravity of the aircraft. The film highlights best practices for this such as removing any items that should not be there, zeroing weighing equipment, and keeping your equipment clean.

“How to Study” (1946) is a black-and-white educational short film that was part of the Coronet Instructional Films series. The film was made in collaboration with William G. Brink Ph.D. professor of education at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. “How to Study” follows middle school student Jim as he prepares to write a civics report on labor unions for his class. Jim employs smart study skills while approaching his report which include using four different types of reading: scanning, rapid reading, careful slow reading &amp; re-reading as well as organizing his information, collecting further data, and finally writing the report. This film was later remade in 1965 under the name “How to Study 2nd Edition” and follows the same premise. 

Opening credits and title page presented as cover and interior cover of book (0:07). Young looking teacher stands in front of chalkboard with sentences written in cursive script, students sit at individual desks and raise hands to volunteer for certain topics (0:21). Camera closes in on student, Jim Chandler, as he raises hand to select essay topic “should labor unions be required to incorporate?” (0:29). Jim sits down at desk in study hall, camera zooms in on various student profiles in the room and discusses their approaches to studying - some students focused in textbooks while others stare into space, doodle in notebook, pass notes (0:45).

“More Than Meets The Eye” (1950) is a rare b&amp;w NBC promo film that takes the viewer behind the scenes as NBC embarked on its expansion program to keep up with TV’s growing popularity.  As TV was taking off during the 1950s, NBC and other networks struggled to find studio space in New York. Narrated by NBC’s first TV news anchorman John Cameron Swayze, this film details what those efforts looked like inside the famous “Radio City” 30 Rock building (30 Rockefeller Plaza is a skyscraper that forms the centerpiece of Rockefeller Center) but also at the International, Center, and Hudson Theaters and NBC’s Uptown Studios at 106th Street. The film also depicts the NBC Kinescope department and NBC Television Central Shop.

The film starts at the Roney Plaza Hotel, which was demolished in 1968. You'll see the hotel's pool area. At 1:00, two brothers wearing identical "Texas" cowboy t-shirts parade in front of the camera. At 1:44 they pose with mom. At 4;23 children pose in costumes, apparently as part of a special food awareness day. Others pose with protest signs reading "Be Happy Be Healthy" and "Drink Milk". At 5:30 a child poses in a Fred Flintstone type caveman outfit. At 5:45 the brothers, wearing cowboy outfits, visit a petting zoo called the "Chimpanzee Farm". This facility was established in the early 1940’s, and imported primates to be sold for medical research. At 6:46 the brothers pose on the rear of the family car. At 7:12 the kids take a pony ride somewhere near the Mayfair theater in Miami. At 8:35 kids are shown playing baseball and tennis.

The Roney Plaza Hotel was Miami's first grand beachfront resort. It was the Fontainebleau before the Fontainebleau existed. Built by N.B.T. Roney, a New Jersey lawyer who decided to become a Miami real-estate magnate instead, the resort attracted a who's who that included Hollywood stars and even the Duke and Dutchess of Windsor. The hotel's Bamboo Room &amp; Restaurant was the place to be seen on the Beach for decades.

WILLEM RUYS / ACHILLE LAURO  51064</video:title><video:description>This incomplete 1950s color film documents an round-the-world trip on the  refurbished ocean liner M.S. Willem Ruys (later known as the Achille Lauro). The film dates to sometime after 1958, when the Royal Rotterdamsche Lloyd and the Netherland Line signed a co-operative agreement to create a round-the-world passenger service. Their joint fleet would sail under the banner of "The Royal Dutch Mail Ships". It's possible this film dates to March 1959, when Willem Ruys went off on her new world service to Australia and New Zealand. She departed from Rotterdam, sailing via Southampton, the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, Fremantle, Melbourne, Sydney, New Zealand, returning via the Panama Canal. The Royal Dutch Mail Ships (Willem Ruys, Johan van Oldenbarnevelt and Oranje) became a popular alternative to the British liners.

The film opens with the Captain looking through binoculars (:08). Passengers disembark from the Dutch passenger liner M.S. Willem Ruys of the Royal Rotterdam Lloyd docked at Rotterdam (:28-:48). Shown are a colorful “Voir La France” vintage postcard, “Motoring in Germany” booklet, and “Sightseeing Tours in Belgium” booklets (:51-:57). A grandmother dresses a doll and a grandfather constructs a wooden dollhouse. Both are packed into a crate and loaded on the ship (1:00-1:42). A crowd waits for some passengers to disembark and then waves goodbye to others as the ship is pulled out to sea by tugboats (2:00-2:50). A large net of cargo is lifted in the air (3:14). A white tour bus rounds a corner. It stops at an Abbey and restaurant (3:15-3:42). The cargo crane operator is seen through the crane’s window panes as cargo swings in the air amid ticker tape from those on deck and on the dock. Tugboats pull the ship away (3:43-4:12). A man enters the “Knatoor Adminstrateur Pursers Office” where crew officers are doing paperwork (4:14-4:32). Passengers view Portugal from the deck (4:42). Passengers relax on deck, some reading (5:03). A pianist and drummer play ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b298c39f-1768-4e7d-8946-da7caac08cea/824d0c6a-f805-4217-98d2-15b6f4753a65-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/o48gRiHWNJNQTiDhXYwQZQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>607</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T08:39:08.592Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uKvJLZ1shGbm6V464MXfzd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0db3b161-6a06-4ae2-b8c7-504cf9490303.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"MOBILITY IN NATURE"  1960s FILM LOCOMOTION OF SNAKES, MICROSCOPIC LIFE, CENTIPEDES (SILENT) 68914</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This 1960’s era film was made as a part of the study of advanced locomotion, being carried on by the Aeronutronic Division of Philco Corporation, a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company.  Philco-Aeronutronic became NASA’s primary communications equipment vendor during the mid-1960’s.  The film was shown to various audiences including to engineers working in the space program, in hopes that they might be inspired by "alternative" forms of locomotion. Walt Disney Productions and Moody Enterprises are also acknowledged as sources of footage. 

This silent film shows moving images of mostly insects and some microscopic life. 
The text cards listed below are followed by what they describe. 

The film begins with “The Amoeba, moves by extending an arm, and then flowing into it” (0:11). “Most microscopic marine animals propel themselves through water by undulating hairs or streams” (0:46). “In larger animals, surface hairs are no longer adequate and the entire body is used for propulsion” (1:13). “The snake uses swimming motions both on land and in water” (1:52). “It is surprising to see the ease with which a snake can climb” (2:25). “Close-ups of a boa show the waves of expansion and traction of its lower skin” (5:00). “The millipede’s legs move symmetrically, with waves of motion from rear to front” (5:41). “The centipede’s legs move unsymmetrically, with eaves from the front to rear” (6:10). “The centipede illustrates the method of bridging over obstructions, used by a number of animals” (7:18). “The mysterious serpent, like other animals, can still teach us many things (7:56). A snake head with its forked tongue is shown (8:06). End

Mark Clark, shows part of the attack on Monte Cassino in February of 1944. Shot from the ground, it shows the effects of Allied bombers on the mountainside and the Abbey itself. 

Official news release which accompanied this film stated:"This silent Combat Film 378 shows the dive bombing of the Monte Cassino Monastery. According to included information: "Because of the fact that German artillery was still operating from the ruins of the Monastery following the initial bombing by U.S. planes, American dive bombers continued to attack the ruins for the next several days. This film shows the dive bombers in action. NOTE: in the latter scenes of this film the dive-bombing planes can be clearly observed in the sky above the Monastery. In the next-to-last scene ten bombers can be seen swooping down over the target one after the other."

The Battle of Monte Cassino (also known as the Battle for Rome and the Battle for Cassino) was a costly series of four assaults by the Allies against the Winter Line in Italy held by Axis forces during the Italian Campaign of World War II. The intention was a breakthrough to Rome.

At the beginning of 1944, the western half of the Winter Line was being anchored by Germans holding the Rapido-Gari, Liri and Garigliano valleys and some of the surrounding peaks and ridges. Together, these features formed the Gustav Line. Monte Cassino, a historic hilltop abbey founded in AD 529 by Benedict of Nursia, dominated the nearby town of Cassino and the entrances to the Liri and Rapido valleys.  Repeated pinpoint artillery attacks on Allied assault troops caused their leaders to conclude the abbey was being used by the Germans as an observation post, at the least. it was marked for destruction. On 15 February American bombers dropped 1,400 tons of high explosives, creating widespread damage. The raid failed to achi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6c6e7e30-1513-4ee3-a43e-53199d72e2da/3080e52c-5ae4-418a-afe2-c42c798f7b75-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eoABdofp651W1oRzP6s3BC</video:player_loc><video:duration>342</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T08:40:26.771Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jpxHPHaXtkCjTLUfdDHi5d</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d7f33461-b80e-4de7-bd6b-5856d428235f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1925 ETHNOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTARY FILM  " GRASS "  MIGRATION OF BAKHTIARI TRIBE OF PERSIA / IRAN XD13934</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dating to 1925, this silent film "Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life" is one of the earliest ethnographic documentary films ever made. This version runs 57 minutes. The film was also released in a slightly longer version of over 70 minutes by Paramount, and in digest form from Kodak as part of its Kodascope Library. The film follows members of the Bakhtiari, a sub-tribe of the Lurs, in Persia -- modern-day Iran -- as they and their herds make their seasonal journey to better pastures. The film was directed and filmed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest Schoedsack, with financing provided by Marguerite Elton Harrison and Cooper's family. The journey was the first ever undertaken by Westerners with the Bakhtiari. The first part of "Grass" documents the ancient caravan route from Angora (modern Ankara, Turkey) to the Bakhtiari lands in Persia (western Iran in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province and the eastern part of Khuzestan). It then shows leader Haidar Khan as he leads 50,000 of his people and countless animals on a harrowing trek across the Karun River and over Zard Kuh, the highest peak in the Zagros Mountains. The film was made at a critical juncture, as just 20 years later, this type of migration was being made with trucks and by train, instead of on foot. Also, the position of the tribe changed greatly in the years after the film was made. Reza Shah Pahlavi (r. 1925–1941) made the destruction of the Bakhtiari influence in Persia part of his mission, in part due to the existence of oil on Bakhtiari territory A few tribal leaders were executed by Pahlavi in order to crush Bakhtiari autonomy.

The documentary preceded and influenced another, more famous film made by Cooper and Schoedsack, namely King Kong (1933).  Grass was distributed by Paramount Pictures and shown publicly in New York on March 30, 1925.

This untitled instructional film presented by the US Army from the 1950s shows an American soldier setting up various models of American-made military-grade landmines used throughout the Cold War. A land mine is an explosive device concealed under or on the ground and designed to destroy or disable enemy targets. The use of land mines is controversial because of their potential and indiscriminate weapons. They can remain dangerous many years after a conflict has ended and pose a threat to civilian safety. During the Cold War the United States used the M6 anti tank mine and trip-wire operated bounding antipersonnel mines such as the M2 and M16 which are some of the explosives featured in this instructional film.

Close-up of landmine being buried in soil (0:09). Hand turns dial on top of the landmine (0:40). A US Army soldier sets up and charges a 1950s M6 Landmine (0:51). Soldier sets up M14 Blast Mine (1:20). Soldier buries and disguises the M14 (3:45). Soldier places a safety pin around the indicator arrow to prevent premature explosion (4:16). Illustration of how buried M14 Landmine functions (5:18). Soldier sets up M16 Landmine (5:49). Illustration of explosion radius of the M16 (7:55).

This film was created by Norman Schenker. "Alcoholism: Causes and Dynamics"  puts studies the issue of alcoholism and works to show the psychiatric factors contributing to it, using an animal study using live domestic cats and alcohol. It was filmed at the University Clinic of Psychiatry and Neurology in Vienna (:16). Alcoholism is presented as a universal and social issue (1:07). Animal experiments shown supervised by Hans Rotter, M.D. (2:22). A healthy domestic cat slinks around the table prior to experiment (2:42). The experiment includes a served fish food cake (2:46) and a bowl of milk (3:04). The cat toys with a mouse in a cage showing it's natural instinct to hunt (3:28). The hierarchical role between cats is discussed (3:54). The cat learns to anticipate a reward at the close of a study (4:47) as viewers witness the cat becoming more accustomed to training and additional complex steps (6:49). Scientists learn the feline responds best to sound (6:58). The cat performs the entire experiment (8:00). Conditioned reflex is understood at this point of the experiment (8:59). Another cat is introduced (9:41). The less dominant cat awaits its turn (9:55). Alcohol is poured into a small pan next to the milk pan (10:13). Viewers are reminded the cat naturally does not prefer alcohol to its natural diet (10:22). Several dishes containing a milk and a milk alcohol mixture are set out (10:48). The cat can still tell which dish is just milk (11:00). A tube is now inserted into the box containing the fish food cake (11:57). Rather than the treat at the end of the activity, the cat receives a sharp spit of cool air which frightens and confuses the animal (12:41).

The film shows a 1930s naval exercise with U.S. Navy battleships firing their guns in succession (:40). At (:56), a group of biplanes takes off from the deck of an early aircraft carrier. The configuration visible at (1:25) with forward large caliber gun turrets and a split island might be USS Saratoga (CV-3). In 1936,  the Saratoga's air group consisted of 18 Grumman F2F-1 and 18 Boeing F4B-4 fighters, plus an additional nine F2Fs in reserve. The plane shown at (1:32) is possibly a Martin BM torpedo bomber, and the aircraft at (1:44) appears to be a Great Lakes BG dive bomber. The film shows the retrieval of aircraft starting at (2:45).

Raw footage of the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger (silent film footage). On January 28, 1986, the NASA Space Shuttle orbiter undertaking mission STS-51-L and the tenth flight of Space Shuttle Challenger (OV-99) broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members: five NASA astronauts, one payload specialist, and a civilian school teacher. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 11:39 a.m. EST (16:39 UTC). The disintegration of the vehicle began after a joint in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff. The failure was caused by the failure of O-ring seals used in the joint that were not designed to handle the unusually cold conditions that existed at this launch. The seals' failure caused a breach in the SRB joint, allowing pressurized burning gas from within the solid rocket motor to reach the outside and impinge upon the adjacent SRB aft field joint attachment hardware and external fuel tank. This led to the separation of the right-hand SRB's aft field joint attachment and the structural failure of the external tank. Aerodynamic forces broke up the orbiter.The crew compartment and many other vehicle fragments were eventually recovered from the ocean floor after a lengthy search and recovery operation. The exact timing of the death of the crew is unknown; several crew members are known to have survived the initial breakup of the spacecraft. The shuttle had no escape system,[a][1] and the impact of the crew compartment at terminal velocity with the ocean surface was too violent to be survivable.Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

The film "The Challenges of Santa Barbara" was produced by World Wide Video Associates, Inc for Humble Oil. It was directed by Al De Caprio. This 1972 film explores the challenges of drilling for oil in the Santa Barbara area. It was released three years after one of Union Oil / Unocal's platforms suffered a devastating failure, resulting in an enormous oil spill in Santa Barbara County.  This film was apparently intended to reassure the public that Humble Oil was a good steward of the environment. At the time, the company may have planned to construct additional deep water drilling platforms off the California Coast. The film emphasizes how cautious Humble is about their oil extraction work. 

The film begins with scenes of Santa Barbara's coastline (0:10), while the narrator provides a historical background of the city (0:20). The iconic Santa Barbara Mission is showcased (0:37), followed by visuals of the Santa Barbara oil platforms (1:12) and Chumash Native Americans with a canoe (2:00). The Ellwood oil fields are presented, accompanied by a newspaper from World War II featuring the headline "Submarine shells Ellwood Oil Field" (2:38-2:45). A Lufkin oil drill is then displayed (2:46), and interviews with Santa Barbara citizens regarding their opinions on oil drilling are briefly shown, including Stan Lowery, Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce (4:04).

A scene featuring a tractor cleaning an oil-soaked beach in 1969 is depicted (4:35), followed by a portrayal of the various applications of oil (5:43-6:07). An interview with Jim Posgate, Vice President of Humble Oil &amp; Refining, is presented (6:25), alongside visuals of a Western Offshore oil ship (7:30) and an Enco semi-submersible dri...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0db7ee17-a295-49b2-9ccc-2e3711b324bf/25608299-1dd4-4401-90f3-92c62bfb4c5a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2GfERdSttbKJtVD1mTxa7p</video:player_loc><video:duration>1561</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T09:08:02.079Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sgAr3BoyrJFMtyqt4d8DNa</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/832550d0-ee5a-4de7-b808-dbd6695f2ef8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" SKY SAILING "  1960s SCHWEIZER AIRCRAFT CO.

Filmed and produced by Dick Huppertz, “Sky Sailing” is a color promotional film presented by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, New York that likely dates to the 1950s or 60s. The film walks the viewer through the various steps in the manufacture of sailplanes, as well as the training that goes into learning how to pilot one. Invented by Sir George Cayley in 1849 and developed upon by the Wright Brothers in the early 1900s, the glider or sailplane is an unpowered aircraft that uses naturally occurring currents of rising air in the atmosphere to gain altitude. In the late 1920s, the sporting use of sailplanes rapidly developed. 

The Schweizer Aircraft Corporation was an American manufacturer of sailplanes, agricultural aircraft and helicopters located in Horseheads, New York. It was incorporated in 1939 by three Schweizer brothers (Paul, William, and Ernest), who built their first glider, the SGP 1-1, in 1930.

Film opens, plane tows glider sailplane in sky (0:06). POV from inside glider sailplane of plane ahead and landscape below dotted by colorful fall foliage (0:22).

It tells the story of  the Canadian Motor Torpedo Boats crews and their actions. Shows life aboard Motor Torpedo Boats during the Battle of the Atlantic, fending off attacks by German U-Boats and commerce raiders. Motor Torpedo Boat (MTB) was the name given to fast torpedo boats by the Royal Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy. The 'Motor' in the formal designation, referring to the use of petrol or gasoline engines, was to distinguish them from the majority of other naval craft that used steam turbines or reciprocating engines. Produced &amp; Directed by Sydney Newman, and released in 1944.This short film documents the crucial role of the Royal Canadian Navy’s motor torpedo boats (MTBs) during World War II. Crewed by young, skilled Canadians, these fast and heavily armed vessels operated in dangerous waters like the North Atlantic and English Channel, engaging enemy ships many times their size. The narrative follows daily life aboard the MTBs—from inspections, camaraderie, and routines to the tense moments before battle. The sailors’ bravery is highlighted during a mission to intercept German E-boats threatening Allied convoys. After a successful engagement, the emotional toll of war is evident as the crew mourns fallen comrades. Despite loss, the MTBs continue their mission with determination, reflecting Canada’s broader naval commitment to securing victory across global oceans.0:43 – The Royal Canadian Navy battles enemy shipping in the North Atlantic, Mediterranean, and English Channel using fast, deadly motor torpedo boats (MTBs).1:04 – MTBs are 70 feet long, heavily armed, and crewed by young, tough Canadians capable of handling intense conditions.1:25 – Canadian sailors from cities like Montreal, Toronto, and Swift Current man two flotillas of MTBs, taking on much larger German vessels.2:00 – Sailors prepare torpedoes, highlighting the deadly precision and readiness of the MTB c...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a38026e8-6b92-4c05-92c0-1b8ee8b9959f/fc79bda5-35c9-4445-b229-f5e833424856-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mc1jz4LvCRzmtiJEUexd6D</video:player_loc><video:duration>630</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T09:10:05.353Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/r6rbc8Nyq5b9ZmR7MDqRX5</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3b8f1d59-317d-45d6-9a8a-369bc09c0bab.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" STEPPING STONES TO TOKYO "  1942-1945 U.S. NAVY WWII PACIFIC CAMPAIGN   ISLAND HOPPING 96155</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This untitled, uncredited black-and-white silent home-style movie chronicles the process behind constructing a highway and connecting roads. Likely dating to the late 1940s or early 1950s, the film, which is set in a rural area of what is likely the United States, depicts the different steps behind constructing a highway from clearing the land to pouring and flattening the concrete. The film features lots of scenes of the machinery involved from what appears to be a CAT 633C Elevating Scraper to a CAT D9 Track-Type Dozer among others.

This silent footage shows scenes from the Liberation of Paris in 1944, and probably dates to August 26th, the day that Gen. Charles DeGaulle entered the city. The film begins with shots of civilians moving across hastily built barricades. At :26 (the title card says "A little clean-up") signs of German occupation are removed by civilians and German signposts knocked over (:49). Pockmarked buildings are shown as well as anti-tank barricades (1:02) at Place Joffre. Barbed wire and a burning tank are shown (1:32). At 1:37, an L-5 Birddog aircraft lands on the Champs Elysee. At 1:55 shattered portraits of Hitler are shown to the camera. At 2:12 a title card notes that it is the 26th of August, and that Charles de Gaulle is seen in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral. A G.I. marches with French women down the street while hordes of troops are seen. At 2:50 de Gaulle is shown in front of a troop of armored cars. At 3:11 flowers are laid at the grave of the unknown soldier at the Arch of Triumph while a band plays. de Gaulle lays flowers at 4:30 and salutes the French flag. At 6:12 masses of civilians celebrate in the streets and de Gaulle and the Free French Army parade through the city. Following them are American and British as well as other Allied forces. It was still a dangerous place to be: at 9:57 a title card notes that isolated gunfire erupted near the Place de la Concorde, and panicked people are seen escaping or moving towards cover. The wounded are removed at 11:15. More gunfire occurs at the 12:30 mark, as snipers in a tall building shoot down at the crowd. A perpetrator is removed at 12:58. At 13:10 an American tank sits in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral and de Gaulle is seen briefly once again. The Liberation of Paris (also known as the Battle for Paris and Belgium; French: Libération de Paris) was a military...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a6d54f45-e9a2-4ee0-8727-e803b49d1770/83b11999-f3b8-4d34-9009-6cee6fbec3bc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mASGUMMJ5UkwTJv3AxNgsh</video:player_loc><video:duration>814</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T09:17:28.456Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ep5SSMd1f2qvDSY9TuaLsr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b477f03e-2bbe-40f5-a498-5601d9599566.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OFFICIAL FILMS OF 1942 VOL 3   BATTLE OF EL ALAMEIN TOBRUK GUADALCANAL SOLOMON SOUND VERSION 84724c</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

It features stunning images of auto accidents, including some that are doubtless stunts from Hollywood films. At 1:43, there are images of the burning SS Morro Castle, a famous disaster that killed over a hundred;; yet Lowell Thomas says that today auto accidents claim four times that amount. At 2:00, a gigantic Florida hurricane is shown. The 1936 floods are seen at 2:20. "What can we do about the appalling loss of life?" says Thomas. He interviews Governor Harold G. Hoffman of New Jersey  about traffic safety at the 3:00 mark, along with Commissioner McGee. At 4:00, features of the New Jersey State Highway are seen that improve safety. The express highway shown is US Route 22, and at the time it was State Highway 29. The eastern 4 miles were all grade separated, as it was a connection to the Pulaski Skyway, which lead to the Holland Tunnel.At 8:30, reports are seen that analyze varying accidents caused by bad driving habits. These habits are then shown in dramatic footage on the highway, with cars weaving in and out of traffic, driving on the wrong side, and even stopping on the highway to read a sign, passing on the left, etc. Hand signals are shown at the 11:50 mark. The film ends with various crazy stunts with cars, planes, and even horses — and these stunts are compared to the crazy drivers on the roads today. Be safe -- don't be a maniac driver!!The express highway shown is US Route 22, and at the time it was state highway 29. The eastern 4 miles were all grade separated, as it was a connection to the Pulaski Skyway, which lead to the Holland Tunnel.The NJ Turnpike did not open until 1951, and it was a black top highway. All of the NJ State Highways of the 1930s were done in concrete.

This 1963 TV documentary, narrated by Detroit sportscaster Van Patrick, highlights a unique event: the Monte Carlo Rally, a 2500-mile car race across Europe that began in 1911 and continues to this day. It is an event designed to showcase automobile innovation on a global stage. 1963 was a particularly important year since it marked the first entry of American-made vehicles into the race. A Ford driven by Bo Ljungfeldt finished in a respectable 42nd place out of 307 entrants.  In the 1964 event, a Falcon  finished second outright against some of the world’s best cars and drivers at that time. This film was produced by Wilding Productions for Ford Motor Company, who provided the Ford Falcon used in the rally.

The narrator explains the history of the event, how the race works, and offers viewers stunning views of the rally cars racing across France. He focuses on the American teams and cars, providing an American perspective on a European event. The film also contains footage of American actress and Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly, at the rally’s award ceremonies.

This promotional film from the 1950s serves as a user's manual for New Holland Agriculture’s New Holland Model 800 Forage Harvester. The New Holland Model 800 Forage Harvester debuted in the mid-1950s and was marketed to be “the highest capacity forage harvester ever built” and was said to be New Holland's “greatest contribution to modern grassland farming methods.” The film, which disemeninates operation and service information on the machine, was intended for American farmers who had purchased the machinery as a tool that would ensure a quick and efficient seasonal harvest.

New Holland is an American agricultural machinery manufacturer and the original New Holland Machine Company was founded in 1895 in New Holland, Pennsylvania. The company was later acquired by Sperry Corporation in 1947 and then by Ford Motor Company in 1986 before being purchased by FiatAgri in 1991. New Holland agricultural products include tractors, combine harvesters, balers, forage harvesters, self-propelled sprayers, hayng tools, seeding equipment, hobby tractors, utility vehicles and implements, and grape harvesters. This film is historically significant because it reflects the period of large scale change and growth to the agriculture sector in the United States. While farmers had previously owned smaller plots of land, throughout the 1950s the average farm grew from 230 acres to about 290 acres and there was a need for new agriculture technology. The number of large-scale commercial farms continued to grow into the 1960s.

This film, "New Dixie USA" is narrated in German, and shows the cultivation of tobacco plants for the Lucky Strike cigarette company. It was released by the FWU Institute for Film and Image in Science and Education. The film opens with footage of a plantation or farm with African American agricultural workers moving through rows of crops (:28). A worker or sharecropper harvests leaves from tobacco plants (:56). A horse carries the packs which the men use to move the crop down the lines of the groves (1:10). Large modern machinery then moves down the groves (1:33). The tobacco leaves are pulled from the plants by a conveyor running along the machine (1:57). A tractor then moves the leaves down a modern roadway (2:31). The leaves are tied and hung to dry as children of the farm workers stand nearby (2:56). The dried leaves are piled in stacks (4:25). Female African American workers sort through the leaves (5:49). These are layered onto the back of a pickup truck (6:17). The truck delivers the tobacco to a factory (6:54). Within the factory, long rows of the leaves are mounded into high piles (7:24). Lucky Strike factory workers inspect the piles (7:56). These are moved to a room where the leaves are pulled apart and sent down conveyor belts (9:22). The leaves are then crushed (10:44) in large cylindrical vats. The wooden cylinders or tobacco hogsheads are loaded onto the back of a long truck which transports them (12:00) to another factory (12:22). A forklift lifts the hogsheads / crates from the truck (13:12). The pressed tobacco from within the crates is viewed (13:28). Leaves are again pulled from the pile and inspected (13:40). The SS Mormac Isle cargo ship is shown in harbor (14:59) as well as the SS Ribeira Grande (15:02). The barrel-like crates are lifted onto the vessels for transport (16:50). The End (16:50).

This silent, raw footage shows replenishment at sea and flight deck operations, including an emergency barrier landing, aboard USS Philippine Sea (CV/CVA/CVS-47, AVT-11). This ship was one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers of the United States Navy,  launched on 5 September 1945. The film likely dates to the early era of the Korean War -- probably 1950 -- when the ship supported United Nations ground troops in coordination with USS Valley Forge. Its first engagement was during the Battle of Pusan Perimeter and then during the Inchon Landings and the Second Battle of Seoul and the Chosin Reservoir Campaign. Philippine Sea saw three tours to Korea during the war, receiving nine battle stars for her service. After several deployments to the Far East, the vessel became an anti-submarine warfare platform, before being decommissioned in 1958.

Some of the highlights shown in the film include: (:37) replenishment at sea from supply vessel, at (1:27) the aircraft carrier USS Valley Forge (CV-45) is visible in the background. At (1:34) a firing exercise is undertaken with anti-aircraft guns; at (3:07) tracer ammunition is seen in use.  At (5:37) a Grumman F9F Panther, one of the United States Navy's first successful carrier-based jet fighters, lands on the deck. At (5:42) another Panther engages the barrier in an emergency landing maneuver. The crew then resets the barrier. At (6:23) an F4U-4 Corsair moves across the flight deck. At (7:00) Panthers are launched from the forward catapults. At (7:42) an AD-6 Skyraider  maneuvers into position. Good shot of the wooden flight deck. At (8:05) a Corsair is launched. At (9:30) a Corsair comes in for a landing. At (9:55) a Skyraider goes around. Silhouette shots of the air operations control area, with planes tracked by grease pencil (10:05). A rescue helicopter stands ready (10:53).

The United States Department of the Interior Mining Enforcement and Safety Administration (MESA) (0:10) presents “Coal Miner Today” (0:14), a film introducing various coal mining tasks, the men who perform them, and how to enable a safe and healthful environment.  Miners arrive to work holding white pails (0:32). After boarding the mantrip (0:42), they enter the mine through an opening called a portal (0:59). The tunnel is surprisingly white, due to rock dust, a powdered limestone applied to the sides, roof, and floor to reduce the possibility of coal dust explosions (1:05).Two miners look at a map (1:45). The men walk from the mantrip to their working places (1:49). The solid exposed surface of the coal seam being mined is called the face (2:00). The object is to extract coal from the face quickly, efficiently, and safely.First, the roof is sounded; a miner strikes the roof with a hammer to gauge the roof’s density (2:21). He checks for methane gas (2:36), and uses a flame safety lamp to check for oxygen deficiency. (2:48). Brattice ventilation curtains are hung to direct air to the working face (2:55). More permanent air deflectors, or stoppings, are built out of cement blocks (3:04). Steel safety jacks help support the newly exposed roof (3:12). A timberman installs wooden timbers for further support (3:25). Another roof reinforcement method is “roof bolting” (3:40). The bolting machine provides automated, temporary roof support to protect the operator (4:02), who drills holes into the roof into which he will insert metal bolts (4:10). The idea is to clamp together the several layers of roof strata to form a more solid composite beam. Roof bolts often eliminate the need for timbering, allowing for more room for men and machinery. Special drilling equipment use hollow drill rods through which dust and cuttin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fda38b9c-ab1c-41a0-b3ed-34f53dbb3ed9/7d765608-d54d-4106-9f97-d8ec8a39ab8e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xjzR8LGPRbqmnpGcCV3SFt</video:player_loc><video:duration>781</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T09:41:39.569Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tFz3jVxhrTxPFoDvyRTnGe</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/47ee8f7d-0e3f-4dcf-b8b2-52682a03470e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" AN INTRODUCTION TO MICROTEACHING " 1968 STANFORD UNIVERSITY TEACHER FEEDBACK TECHNIQUE XD13094</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Normal Schley, a particularly skilled amateur film maker from Wisconsin, takes viewers to the West Indies. This is the final segment of the four-piece film. Norman Schley founded the vacation film industry known as Picturelogue. This particular segment guides us mostly through the French Quarter of New Orleans; however, it opens with images of Fort Montague (:08) in the Bahamas. Still in the Bahamas, tourists sit around a garden area as a herd of flamingo’s run circles in front of them (1:18). The film then turns to the French Quarter in New Orleans (3:11) with Andrew Jackson’s statue in the center of a fountain in Jackson’s Square. Along the side streets in New Orleans, artists set up with complete works and continue to work on incompletes as pedestrians pass by (3:29). A sign for “Starving Artists Gallery” follows (3:48). Lafayette cemetery (4:41) boasts a few famed tombs including Lafayette and the Mayfair Witches (fictional characters from novel by Anne Rice). The tomb of the Broil family is zoomed in on (5:41). One of the grounds keeper’s conducts a ritual against the stone facing of a tomb (5:55). Nighttime festivities erupt highlighted by neon lights (6:29). Bars and shops along the route include the Famous Door Bar (6:34), Rizzo’s Restaurant (6:43), the 500 Club (6:47), Hotsy Totsy (6:51) and other adult entertainment venues.

Dating to January 16, 1967, this raw footage shows U.S. Army troops spraying defoliant over the jungle terrain of Vietnam. A card accompanying this footage describes it this way: "Defoliation around Bearcat. A potent spray, dispersed by helicopter, is used to remove foliage from trees and deny Viet Cong camouflage around Bearcat perimeter." Firebase Bearcat was apparently located near Saigon. 

It's not clear what defoliant was being used in this footage. A common one was Agent Orange, which was a tactical herbicide used by the U.S. military for control of vegetation. It was named for the orange band around the storage barrel. The military sprayed Agent Orange and other tactical herbicides during the Vietnam War as part of its herbicidal warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, from 1961 to 1971. Agent Orange is a mixture of equal parts of two herbicides, 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D. In addition to its damaging environmental effects, traces of dioxin (mainly TCDD, the most toxic of its type) found in the mixture have caused major health problems for many individuals who were exposed, and their offspring.

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction.

This 1960 color documentary film from Convair Astronautics Division and General Dynamics Corporation uses montage and bold narration to dramatise the feats of collaborative engineering and technological advancement behind the SM-65 Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile, a success for the United States in the late 1950s, during the Cold War’s “Space Race” with the Soviet Union. This film features the launch of SM-65B, rocket 4B on August 2, 1958. It was the second model of the second prototype version, which introduced a stage and a half system and was the first American rocket to achieve the distinction of being truly intercontinental in range (TRT: 27:28).

This color film from the early 1980’s addresses the need for and development of NASA’s Space Shuttle program. We are taken through all the reasons the Shuttle’s satellite-placing capabilities will help our relationship with the planet earth (from resource detection to hurricane tracking), and then presented with a showcase of Rockwell International’s contributions to rocketry and space travel, including building and testing the Shuttle’s three main engines. Written and directed by Robert Durham, cinematography and editing by Brainard Miller, narrated by Mario Machado. Produced by Rockwell International’s Rocketdyne Division.

The Space Shuttle was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated from 1981 to 2011 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as part of the Space Shuttle program. Five complete Space Shuttle orbiter vehicles were built and flown on a total of 135 missions from 1981 to 2011, launched from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Operational missions launched numerous satellites, interplanetary probes, the Hubble Space Telescope, conducted science experiments in orbit, and participated in construction and servicing of the International Space Station (ISS). Four fully operational orbiters were initially built: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis. Of these, two were lost in mission accidents: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. A fifth operational orbiter, Endeavour, was built in 1991 to replace Challenger. The Space Shuttle was retired from service upon the conclusion of Atlantis's final flight on July 21, 2011.

This film captures the storm flooding in Shanghai, which was a frequent occurrence before the installation of the storm drains and rain sewers in mid-1980s. The Waibaidu Bridge, Suzhou River and the Shanghai Post Office, seen in related films,  are seen again here, along with a part of the 1945-1948 U.S. Navy "Yellow River Flotilla" out of which you can distinguish the outlines of 2 heavy cruisers (including USS Los Angeles) and a group of destroyers, anchored in the Huang Pu (Yellow River) in the midst of Shanghai.

This silent, black and white German driver's educational film is probably one of the earliest in the genre, likely dating to the late 1920s or early 1930s. The film portrays mistakes drivers make that result in crashes and to educate new drivers on situations that require additional attention. The film most likely was accompanied by an instructional booklet which included a script, which would have been read out loud as the film was projected in the classroom. 

The film begins with informational text in German stating that mastery of an automobile involves knowledge of roads, and safe and effective driving techniques (00:08). A woman with a cane walks on a gravel road and a car drives towards her (00:23). The car avoids the woman and crashes into a tree (00:31). "Driver! Beware! Drive Carefully!" text on screen (00:35-:45). Three men drive in on open-top sedan car down a pavement road (00:51). A tram or trolley passes through a town and makes a stop to pick up passengers (01:00). A car drives past the tram as the passengers aboard, and nearly hits them (01:05). Informational text in German "Pay Attention" followed at (01:29) by guidance concerning passing -- don't scare other drivers with your horn and don't force them to give way to you.  Cars are shown speeding on a road, close up shot of speedometer / odometer with German markings, seems to be indicating a speed of 100km/hr (01:42). One car collides with a car coming from a sideroad (01:53). Another car crashes into a tree (01:58). The cars are flipped upside down and heavy smoke is veiling around them (02:00), and a newspaper headline (2:11) mentions the accident. Skid dangers on a curve are shown next: a sports car is driving on a narrow, winding road around a ledge, and a horse carriage is approaching from behind the curve, which results in a crash (02:25).

This offbeat and groovy short subject documentary from 1971 attempts to explain how people process information and language, access long and short term memory, and solve problems. A series of “experiments” are shown at a hip, happening party where a narrator (David Steinberg) and an associate professor of Psychology at the University of California, San Diego (Dr. David A. Norman) explain what is being seen. A group of improvisational actors - including John Amos (“Coming to America,” “Good Times”) and Swedish adult film star Uschi Digard - work the party and help to facilitate the experiments. There’s also a magician, a memory expert, some outrageous ’70’s getups, and a little ribald humor thrown in for good measure. Starring David Steinberg, Dr. Donald A. Norman, John Amos, Peter Bonerz, Booker Bradshaw, Sam Carlson, Harry Colomby, Uschi Digard, Corey Fischer, David Lander, Julie McWhirter, Dale Morse, Michael B. Skinner, and Arthur Bornstein, edited by Leonard South, and produced by Carole Hart and Bruce Hart for CRM Productions. Copyright 1971, Communications Research Machines, Inc.

This silent, black and white film from the early 1920’s gives an overview of how water is dammed and channeled for use in city water supply, electricity generation, and agriculture irrigation. Along with illustration cards explaining the path the water takes, you’ll see footage of landmarks in both New York (New Croton Dam, Ashokan Reservoir) and California (Big Creek Power House No. 1), dams both primitive and modern, farmers irrigating their fields, and a gold prospector.  The film is missing its main title, but it is likely one of the many Eastman Classroom Films produced by Kodak in the 1920s-30s.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration presents this film from the late 1960s and the administration’s logo is the image that is shown in the opening sequence at 0:20. The U.S. Government and NASA present information about the lunar space suits and how they protect each astronaut, specifically using "Astronaut Andy" as an example at 1:14. The film uses cartoon depictions to portray an astronaut in a lunar space suit to illustrate what happens in space and how the suits perform to keep flight crew safe from hazardous conditions (1:15-4:04). Actual astronauts or stand-ins are shown wearing the real suits while the narrator describes safety and functional features from the first to the last layers of the materials (4:05-7:25). Components including a constant wear garment, a liquid-cool undergarment, a pressure garment assembly (including a helmet and gloves), a portable back pack life-support system, and a thermo micrometeriod garment are worn by a model astronaut throughout the film (4:18-4:39). Apollo flight crews will wear these suits and the film describes all the instruments as well as the process of each layer. A functional test is described for purposes of evaluation of temperature controls (6:00-6:20). The film provides a great deal of information and details about the lunar space suits for potential flight crew training purposes. At 8:00, a schematic shows the suit capabilities in simple format to illustrate its mechanisms for usage in missions. Backup safety features are also described for the potential wearer of this garment set, inlcuding a secondary emergency oxygen supply system (9:30). Multiple tests are performed, detailed, and an analysis of the results and any design changes are described (12:50-14:00). The Manned Spacecraft Center of NASA constructed portions of the suits.

This 1954 silent home movie shows the wedding of Adrienne Sandra Ehrlich and Charles "Chuck" Stern at the Blackstone Hotel, Chicago, Illinois on the 10th of January 1954. The film was shot by Sidney C. Goltz, a professional director and producer most well known for a TV show about pro bowling. The film was shot in gorgeous Kodachrome color and is of extraordinarily high quality for a home movie from this era.  This film shows the traditional Jewish wedding ceremony, the couple and their family and guests in the receiving line, as well as the catering. We don't know much about Charles "Chuck" Stern or his bride, except that Chuck served as President of the Bobby Blechman Chapter of the City of Hope, and his wife worked as an interior designer and was member at large national board directors City of Hope Medical Center. The couple remained married for 66 years. We've been trying to contact members of the family to let them know we have this film -- if you know them, please get in touch.

This 1943 stop-motion animated Cinecolor short directed by Lou Bunin, a former Hollywood puppeteer, was released by Paramount Pictures as part of a British propaganda effort to vilify the leaders of the Axis powers during World War II. Puppets of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Emperor Hirohito are given the business by unseen Allied Forces in an unusual piece of musical animation (TRT: 6:45).

Opening titles, “Bury the Axis” (0:10). A flying stork carries a baby wrapped in white cloth. Upon smelling the baby, the stork is repulsed (0:22). The stork lets go of the baby, and the child drops through the roof of a house, landing in the middle of the floor. The house bears the name, “Schicklgruber,” the surname of Hitler’s paternal grandmother (0:50). The baby bundle produces a pistol and shoots at the stork (1:00). Upon firing, he becomes an adult version of the German fascist Adolf Hitler in caricature. Hitler blows his nose into a handkerchief with a swastika on it (1:08). Hitler marches while goose-stepping, singing a song about his conquests in Europe. A flock of geese in military garb join his crusade across the Maginot Line and the Rhine river (1:23). A goose wearing a Philippe Petain general’s hat is kicked away during a line about hiring 5th Column Frenchmen (1:45). After entering Russia, Hitler quickly retreats, covered with bandages, sans goose. “I think maybe my goose was cooked in Moscow” (1:59). Hitler whistles and a caricature of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini makes an entrance from a doghouse with doric columns (2:22). Mussolini wears a swastika and sings a demeaning song about being secondary to Hitler. “I can bark louder than he.” Mussolini retreats into his kennel (2:36). Japanese Emperor Hirohito appears in the form of a slithering snake (3:10). An approximation of Japanese music accompanies a seq...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/48d9cd7d-53da-44bf-9f3d-6bb49e50c6b4/f42252d0-5175-45fd-b602-5e03e23b4c20-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9ZLibwEJjDzHiCiuuSsEoQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>406</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T10:10:05.520Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7J7mTp28oYmsppwi6MbZZ4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c946512f-6808-41d4-aa34-14b595c0ea9a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" CHOCOLATE FROM THE BEAN TO THE BAR "  1970s L.S.

Shot by an unknown American concert-goer, this (badly shot and silent) Super 8mm footage captures the energy of a David Bowie concert. The footage at the start of the film up to the 3 minute mark is out of focus and hard to make out. At about 3:34 are shots of the filmmaker's friends, typical late 1970s teens. At 7:00, is the footage of Bowie. Wish it had a soundtrack!

This Cold War Era film was created by the Office of Civil Defense and promotes the use of the fallout shelter during a time of high paranoia over nuclear warfare. A small booklet was created along with the film and distributed by the Office of Civil Defense. It can be found online. It discusses fallout produced by nuclear explosion and aims to promote the adoption of fallout shelters as part of a civil defense program. The film opens with a scientific breakdown of what nuclear fallout is beginning with a collection of particles on a slide (:12). One particle is zoomed in on (:07). During fallout these cascade to the earth from the sky and continue to release radiation (:57). The film is presented by the Department of Defense (1:37). A note details the impending doom the United States would experience were it to be hit with a nuclear bomb (2:07). Targeted cities would be decimated and outer areas exposed to nuclear fallout (2:07). It encourages thorough preparation. Sunbathing families splash on the shoreline (2:36); an ice cream cut 1950's American holiday. Radiation is explained in an animation in relation to the universe, the sun (2:58) and the earth's crust (4:14). An explosion from a nuclear bomb (5:26) is broken down including the crater area (5:31) and the mushroom cloud itself where the particles for radioactive fallout are formed (5:43). A close shot shows the cloud rising higher now fuller of the radioactive particles (6:05). Distribution of particles is explained (6:31). Heavy particles drop within 24 hours and are the most dangerous (6:54). Radiations rate of decay is broken down (7:14). A US map is used to show the spread of fallout after a nuclear explosion (8:10). Rate of decay is shown (8:45) on the same map. A diagram of a building is used to show best methods for protection from fallout (9:34).

Dating to the 1940s and most likely during WWII, this 16mm silent home movie shows scenes from the Texas oil fields. It begins with men shaking hands at a plot of The Texas Co. leased from Theodore F. Koch. Koch was a famous oil pioneer in the Port Arthur, Beaumont and Riviera. The Texas Co. or Texaco was founded in 1901 in Beaumont by Joseph S. Cullinan, Thomas J. Donoghue, Walter Benona Sharp, and Arnold Schlaet upon the discovery of oil at Spindletop.

At :33 an oil drill tower is seen on the horizon. At :56, children form a small Army unit and play soldier. At 1:28 a rattlesnake is pushed off the road by a man with a big stick. At 3:10 a man picks flowers. At 3;13 two men in suits stand near an oil rig. At 3:51 a supply area for the oil field is seen. At 4:11 the men handle a map of the oil field. At 4:23 a woman poses in a green jacket. At 4:38 the San Fernando Cathedral in San Antonio, Texas is seen.  At 4:54 a man walks towards the camera in an Army uniform. At 5:43 a man works in his Victory Garden. At 6:40 family members pose for the camera in their best clothes.

Shot in 1969, this silent movie shows gliders being flown in Washington State at Soaring Unlimited. Soaring Unlimited is apparently defunct; the company was based in Kirkland, Washington but we believe this footage was shot at Sky Sports Airport in Issaquah. It's not clear precisely why this film was made, what it was titled or whether a version of it was ever released with a soundtrack; this print appears to be an incomplete "rough cut" complete with grease pencil marks. 

No opening credits. A glider lies in the grass. Two little girls stand with one another watching a small air show. A bi-plane flies by and sprays a trail of smoke. People sit on the grass and watch. A couple lean against a glider and talk. Another bi-plane, in the paint scheme of a U.S. Navy training aircraft, lands (:09-1:22). Bi-plane's propeller spins. People sit at a table. A Snoopy stuffed animal. A man smiles. Bi-planes parked including an N3N-3, tail N9308Z. Two people walk on grass as a man parachutes down in the distance. People look skyward. The parachute lands on the ground. Men discuss. Another man parachutes down (1:23-3:06). Sign for: Soaring Unlimited Office. A camper. A woman reads. Two men talk and walk. A man enters a glider tail # N65865 -- a Schweizer S65-233A glider. A man explains to the one in the glider what is going to happen. A line is placed from the glider to an airplane, a Cessna 150J, tail N12MM. The man is ready in the glider. The line tightens. A man gives thumbs up, waves the glider on. The glider is pulled by the plane (3:07-5:25). POV from inside the glider as it goes into the air. The plane continues to pull the glider behind it. Control panel in the glider. Aerial shot above a lush valley. A hand pulls a button in the glider. The glider sails through the air, POV from the glider (5:26-7:16).

Made at the beginning of WWII by the Association of Commerce of South Bend, Indiana, "Arms for America" shows the industrial city's potential as an important cog in national defense production. The film is presented silently here, but likely was originally intended to be a sound film (the soundtrack appears lost).  At :56 a printing press whirs along, while at 1:13 a radio station WSBT broadcasts news. At 1:26 South Bend Tribune newspapers leave the printing press. At 1:34 a factory ID card is prepared for a new Army recruit while at 1:47 men are processed as part of indoctrination. At 2:00 a halftrack drives over rugged terrain. At 2:25, artillery practice with a mobile howitzer. At 2:38 a newspaper the South Bend Tribune declares "Local Industries Mobilize". At 2:45 a special effect shows calendar pages turning in 1941, through December 7th and beyond. At 2:52 a defense plant sign is shown "Part of the Arsenal of Democracy". At 3:00 workers dis-assemble an engine component and at 3:26 examine a bad cylinder. At 3:30 the Bendix plant is shown. At 3:39 a reed hot steel part is hammered into shape. At 4;21 Army trucks rumble through South Bend. At 4:52 a crate stencil reads "U.S. Army Chicago Signal Corps". At 5:16 a woodworker cuts parts with an electric jigsaw. At 5:35 molten steel is poured. At 5:50 a female war worker -- Rosie the Riveter type -- works in a defense plant. At 5:55 rivets are put into fabric. At 6:05 a metal rod is bent into shape to create a chair? At 6:25 parts are assembled by another female war worker. At 7:00 large posters are printed and at 7:16 yellow paint or ink is seen being mixed. At 7:29 military brass and possibly city leaders are seen at a ceremony or possibly a goal setting event. At 7:50 a sign is seen for the Kingsby Ordnance Plant in LaPorte.

Made by Eastman Kodak, this short educational film explains how film is manufactured. (Unfortunately our print is incomplete.)  The film begins with animation of a roll of 127 film with the familiar yellow Kodak protective coating. Animation shows the layers of the film including the gelatine overcoating, silver emulsion, base and backing. At 2:01, cotton fiber is processed to form the cellulose ester base. At 2:18 a dope, or liquid film base, moves through a series of mixers. Finally it moves through a series of rollers and ends up on a roll (3:00). At 3:06 a large roller wheel is shown. At 3:22 a massive coating machine is shown in a clean room, where the film base is dried. At 4:00 a footage counter indicates when it is time to start a new roll. At 4:15 samples are cut for testing in the lab. At 5:30 the thickness of the film base is tested. At 5:41 gelatine is shown, collected from animal hides. At 6:14 chemists compound materials for the emulsion.

This film "As the Crow Flies" was made by the Gardner-Denver Co.,  a leading global provider of compressors, blowers, and vacuum pumps, (:09) shows the installation of part of the Tennessee Gas Pipeline. The pipeline was constructed by Oman Construction Co., RH Fulton &amp; Co., and Brodie Construction Company (:30). The film opens with a car riding up a highway (:54). This part of the pipeline costs 10 million dollars (:57) and carries natural gas from the Tennessee Gas Transmission Company’s mainline in Tennessee to Oak Ridge (1:04). Due to the atomic bomb plant in Oak Ridge, the town had grown rapidly from a small one of the 5th largest city in the state (1:13). Covering a distance of 172 miles, the pipeline cuts through the Cumberland Mountains (1:48). The 22-inch pipe required a trench 3 feet wide with a minimum depth of 4 and ½ feet (2:28). A conveyor belt is seen pulling dirt out in ridges as bulldozers would then back fill the trench after the pipe had been laid (2:44). Contractors are at work using drilling equipment to break through rock (3:20). The Gardner-Denver model RMT 99 Twin Drill is pictured (3:46) and these twin drills were replacing hand held drills (3:53). The title of the film is given a nod as the narrator mentions that "while highways could mold to the mountains and terrain, a pipeline must be laid straight as how a crow must fly" (4:32). Each set of drills was receiving its air supply from the Gardner-Denver 500 cubic foot air compressor (4:55). As the sandstone was so abrasive, it was often used as a cutting tool itself in the marble mills of Knoxville (5:20). Oil bath cleaners removed dust from nearby drills (5:34). A drill equipped with an automatic blow valve sent blasts of cleaning air through the steel and through the bottom of the line (6:18). A helper is seen following behind...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/32337fb3-7d32-48e4-9ec9-b44e941787cf/a91b3391-9767-4a84-b4c6-292e041df893-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7cxBRAvfxCozJVmKeMZNAc</video:player_loc><video:duration>1400</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T10:20:29.574Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sf8onHehv7TQWz1Xd4U4Fj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/070c18ba-7ca6-4aea-b18a-cc45127686cd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HOSPITAL FOOD SERVICE PERSONNEL TRAINING FILM   WHY HOSPITAL FOOD TASTES SO GOOD!  1950 FILM 10914</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This 1950s film describes the different stages of production of Scotch whisky from start to finish. It may have been made at the Glenlivet distillery near Ballindalloch in Moray, Scotland, which produces single malt Scotch whisky, or the Glenrothes distillery located in the town of Rothes in the heart of Speyside. The distillery sits beside the Burn of Rothes, hidden in a glen on the edge of the town. (The Scots spell it whisky and the Irish whiskey, with an extra 'e'. Whiskey is also used when referring to American whiskies.)

A close-up of a water rapid in a river.  Pan down to reveal the full river, then a smaller stream (:06-:37).  Exterior shot of distillery, with a river in foreground (:41-:44).  Seven or so workers roll barrels in front of the distillery (:45-:52)Close up on two workers rocking a barrel (:53-:55).  A sequence of shots alternate between the exterior of the distillery from different angles, and the surrounding landscape (:56-1:43).  A field of barley shown (1:44-1:58).  Open-backed trucks drive sacks of barley into the distillery (1:59-2:03), then workers are seen unloading the sacks into the barley loft (2.04-2:13), then barley is steeped in water (2:14-2:32).  Various highland rivers shown from a range of perspectives (2:33 – 2:52).  ‘Maltmen’ are seen spreading steeped barley onto the malting floor (2:53-3:04), then barley shown under magnification in two different stages of germination (3:05-3:13).

This short 1963 educational film from Film Associates of California gives viewers an overview of the role satellites play in relaying information across the world, specifically showing how the early satellite developments—focusing on the Echo, Telstar, and Syncom satellites—make it possible for the fast and continuous transmitting of communication signals across the planet. The film opens with a shot of a satellite moving in space and the first television broadcast ever relayed through space via a Telstar satellite (monitors show the American flag, presumably from Andover Earth Station in Maryland). Animation and illustrations are used to show a satellite orbiting Earth, how straight-line signals are sent over the curve of the earth (01:55), and radio signals radiating from a radio tower. The film shows viewers a diagram of the ionosphere and radio signals bouncing off the ionosphere. Several men produce a television show in a broadcast room (03:48). Echo, a shiny reflector balloon satellite, sits in a hanger (05:24). Footage shows Echo being launched on Thor-Delta rocket into space. Viewers see the balloon as it is released and inflated in space. Two men work on a Telstar satellite (06:54). Animation shows how satellites orbit the earth and transmit signals without interruption. Viewers see a diagram of a low-altitude and a high-altitude satellite orbiting Earth. A high-altitude satellite called Syncom is worked on in a lab (10:00). Animation shows how the Echo, Telstar, and Syncom satellites relay information on Earth, concluding the film.

Project Echo was the first passive communications satellite experiment. Each of the two American spacecraft, launched in 1960 and 1964, was a metalized balloon satellite acting as a passive reflector of microwave signals. Communication signals were bounced off them f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2f7b656d-da2c-4244-868b-84fc787fae0a/1758baa2-3d2c-4aa1-b957-bb214807bfe1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6S55DdHDR2pi16KosUbrDm</video:player_loc><video:duration>739</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T10:23:45.638Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/k2a3AQBq62EkUDZ2aeG379</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ff33fbf2-635c-46cd-ae8a-a159e04d4a69.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s HOME MOVIE TRIP FROM WASHINGTON D.C.

Apollo 8 became the first manned spacecraft to leave Earth orbit, reach Earth’s moon, orbit it and return safely to Earth. The three-astronaut crew — Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders — became the first humans to travel beyond low Earth orbit, the first to see Earth as a whole planet, the first to directly see the far side of the Moon, and then the first to witness Earthrise. The 1968 mission, the third flight of the Saturn V rocket and that rocket's first manned launch, was also the first human spaceflight launch from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, located adjacent to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. 

Liftoff comes at mark 00:27. A breathtaking view of Earth is shown at mark 04:15 as well as the astronauts within their spacecraft (mark 04:55). Apollo 8 makes history at mark 04:40 as they enter lunar orbit and for the first time men see, with their own eyes, the lunar surface as Lovell described its grayish, pockmarked surface and the crew later comment on its vastness … and loneliness. At (6:31) the crew is seen at work in the spacecraft. We see more scenes from within the capsule before Apollo 8 splashes down (mark 12:12) and the astronauts are welcomed back to Earth by the crew of the aircraft carrier USS Hornet.

The Wasted Years is a 1960s television documentary disclosing the impoverished existence of prison life.  There is a great deal of handheld camerawork intersected with interviews and audio samplings of inmates.  The use of makeshift lighting and low angles lends an atmospheric quality to many interior scenes.

The film opens with a camera tracking backwards alongside a prison guard as superimposed shots of inmates fade in to discuss the worthlessness of prison life.  “If I had it to do it all over again, knowing that I would never get out, I would rather have been executed.” Opening titles roll, accompanied by moody guitar.  The camera zooms out from an Illinois State Penitentiary sign (1:12) and then pans to prison gates with narrator Hugh Hill who introduces Stateville penitentiary as “one of the toughest cell houses.”  A penitentiary bus leads the viewer through prison gates. The film details prison routine beginning at 7am in Cell Block D.  Guards affirm a headcount from the cellblock gallery, a solitary guard yells, “Chow!” and the prisoners file out.  A lifer describes the “World of Can’t” that is controlled penitentiary life.  Warden Frank Pate speaks about the intense conditions at Stateville (7:04).  Pate shows off a case of contraband, mostly weapons—sharpened spoons, a spoon skeleton key, a sharpened brace of a bed, etc. (8:22).  Solitary confinement, called “isolation” is shown (9:35).  An inmate is walked and locked into Isolation as the terms of solitary confinement are described. “Segregation” cells are shown and described.  An inmate is interviewed who has managed to obtain a high school education while in Stateville (13:00).  High school and grammar school are shown (...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ba83a859-5c15-4ddc-a2bf-523f30416bc1/4a152ddc-81e5-4791-b1b3-41e16482765e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/p2QevVSdyDb6QUXEKkEuEV</video:player_loc><video:duration>2345</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T10:57:09.822Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tjS8rqXPzacrNnCu56kff3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/174df5f6-7ab1-42ae-8816-5e036499e80f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" TRIP TIME "  1960s SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA MINI TRAVELOGUES   MARINELAND  SANTA'S VILLAGE   XD14064</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dating to the 1960s, this teaser trailer for "Treasure Unlimited" promotes the "Treasure of His Black Majesty". Unfortunately, we've never found the rest of this episode, but it apparently dealt with a cache of gold and silver hidden on the island of Haiti. At :46, a statue of King Henri Christophe, who supposedly amassed the fortune. At 1:09, the Citadelle Laferrière, commonly known as La Citadelle, is shown. This is a large early 19th-century fortress located in Minot in Nord, Haiti.

This black and white episode of the television series “Expedition!” entitled “The Frozen Continent” originally aired September 20, 1960, and follows the exploits of the United State’s Operation Deep Freeze II of 1957-1958, in which the first permanent base of U.S. operations, Ellsworth Station, was established on the continent of Antarctica. Narrated by the expedition’s leader, Captain Finn Ronne, USNR, we see men journeying by ship, arriving, and constructing Ellsworth Station. We also see them conducting experiments, maintaining the camp, chow time, and even leisure activities. In the second half of the program, we follow a summer traverse expedition as it roams and maps the ice-covered countryside, a C-47 transport plane as it resupplies Sir Vivian Fuchs Antarctic expedition, and a waddle of thousands of emperor penguins.

Dating to 1917 and re-released and shown to the German public just before the outbreak of WWII, this silent film shows the German Army landing on the Island of Saaremaa (Osel) in Estonia. This campaign into the West Estonian Archipelago, and against Russian forces, was known as Operation Albion. It was launched because the German high command believed capturing the islands would leave St. Petersburg vulnerable to attack. The campaign opened against Muhu on October 12, and by October 20th the Russian Army had evacuated. A similar campaign against Hiiumaa produced similar results and, after losses at the Battle of Moon Sound, the Russian Baltic Fleet had to withdraw from the Suur Straight.  The Germans claimed 20,000 prisoners and 100 guns captured during Operation Albion from 12 to 20 October. The Estonian islands seized were occupied until the end of hostilities. Overall, Operation Albion was considered a tremendous German success, with the Russian forces on the islands destroyed, and the islands and coastal batteries firmly in German hands. Estonia later became independent after the October Revolution and the collapse of the Russian Empire. As a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the new state was incorporated into the Soviet Union in June 1940 as the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic.

The film opens with a few highlights from 1919, including a young Prince of Wales observing the surrender of the German Fleet, Theodore Roosevelt speaking to an audience shortly before his death, and Babe Ruth posing in his New York Yankees jersey. The film then shows fight promoter Tex Rickard (01:45), Jack Dempsey, and Jess Willard, as Willard has his arms and chest measured. Seventy thousand spectators pack the grounds in Toledo (02:30) and cheer as Dempsey enters the ring. Willard enters the ring, and the championship belt is briefly paraded around. The two fighters meet in the middle of the ring to listen to the referee. Round one begins and Willard didn’t hear the bill, looking around unsure of what is happening. The two start to fight, and Dempsey dances with Willard (05:32), gets tangled up, then knocks Willard down for the first time in Willard’s career (06:07). Dempsey knocks Willard down a second time and then unleashes a flurry of punches on the bigger fighter. The crowd goes wild as Dempsey mauls Willard and knocks him down yet again. Dempsey gets Willard in the corner, lands several blows on his opponent, and knocks Willard down again. Dempsey quickly exists the ring thinking he won the fight by knockout. Dempsey’s manager yells at the young fighter to come back to the ring (08:30). Dempsey picks up where he left off at the start of the second round, and Willard struggles to fend off the fast fists of Dempsey. Dempsey gets Willard on the ropes and lands a few big blows (09:57), but Willard doesn’t go down. In the third round (10:30), Dempsey delivers several uppercuts to Willard. Dempsey ducks a punch then lands another uppercut (11:23). Willard is covered in blood (12:05), taking repeated hits from Dempsey, but he manages t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fba311e8-58fb-4d30-bfef-ead0825b5a8c/646ccd8f-5786-4926-ac64-6962a62b4a22-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/x5fgSmxQH8MbH2TPQTw7NG</video:player_loc><video:duration>882</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T11:40:19.346Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aFiAyq8Fze8gCZham2BF1Q</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8dda8e79-a154-4ad1-bfcb-85fb4ca32e89.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“YOUR CITY GOVERNMENT” 1965 CITY COUNCIL, PUBLIC WORKS &amp; POLICE  TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA  XD80394</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Palmer, and commissioned on 21 February 1921 with Lieutenant Commander Thomas Shine in command. She was struck from the register in 1937.

At 7:51 the Washington Hotel in Colon is shown. It is currently used as a casino. This hotel was built at the behest of President William H. Taft, a frequent visitor to Colon during canal construction.

The film opens with a shot from the point-of-view of a driver, driving down the street to where a potential crash may happen. The film is shot almost exclusively from the point-of-view of the driver. The car drives down a street with cars on both sides of it (01:02). The camera blurs the edges of the shot to demonstrate clear vision and fringe vision (02:00). The car drives along a road with two buses on its right (03:18). The car drives down a road and approaches Armanetti Liquors on the right (03:40). The car slows to a stop at an intersection (04:54). The film features some shots of driving through neighborhoods and commercial areas (05:45), showing viewers the following: Imperial Motors Inc. store; women walking on a sidewalk; a marquee board for a theater promoting the Jack Lemmon film Good Neighbor Sam. The car drives toward downtown Chicago (06:02); it then nears the Marina City buildings (06:08). Women in the convertible ahead of the car wave back at the camera (08:04). The car approaches an intersection where Randl’s Restaurant and Delicatessen, Four Corners Restaurant, and an optometrist office are located (09:45). (This is the Lincoln Village Shopping Center in the Peterson Park neighborhood on Chicago’s northern border). The film ends with the car driving down residential streets.

Truman issued a directive to Army and Navy officials for the joint testing of nuclear weapons "to determine the effect of atomic bombs on American warships." Bikini Atoll was chosen as the new nuclear proving ground for the U.S. government because of its location away from regular air and sea routes. The natives needed to be relocated in order for operation Crossroads to get underway. 

This raw footage from 1946 shows members of the 53rd U.S. Naval Construction Battalion working on or near Bikini Atoll, in preparation for the Operation Crossroads atomic bomb tests. The film begins at Roi-Namur, an island in the north part of the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. 

At :7 a pair of jokey signs reads "Roi-Namur Power &amp; Light Co." and then "Atoll Lodge -- No Liquor Atoll -- No Women Atoll". A series of primitive huts are seen, along with sun tanned personnel. At 1:55 laundry is dried on a line. At 2:40 wide shots of the base are seen with quonset huts. At 3:10 a sail boat is seen on the beach. At 3:18 a three bladed propeller is on display in front of a large hut. At 3:40 remnants of what appears to be either a crashed bomber or perhaps a gun emplacement are seen, and a serviceman takes a picture with a Speed Graphic camera. At 4:30 a sign reads "United States Naval Construction Battalion Bikini Atoll." At 5:09 the island's primitive cemetery is shown. At 5:49 men joke around the for the camera. At 6:20 men examine a Japanese shrine on the island. At 6:40 a radio antenna is seen.At 7:20 the beach area and a dock are visible with many personnel on the beach. At 7;57 the Crossroads target fleet is visible including the bullseye ship USS Nevada which is painted bright red or orange. At 8:40 shots of what appears to be a Dauntless SBD aircraft are shown. These may have been in use as control aircraft for Hellcat drones, as they appear equipped with radar domes. At 9:04 an aircraft carrier is seen underway.

There are wonderful scenes of real trains, and about three and one half minutes show toy trains. Much of this footage was shot in the actual Lionel Showroom with salesman Myles Walsh demonstrating the layout to a young boy. The film ends with the boy dreaming that he is a locomotive engineer -- so charming and wonderful didn't we all?Lionel Corporation was an American toy manufacturer and retailer that was in business from 1900-1993. Founded as an electrical novelties company, Lionel specialized in various products throughout its existence, but toy trains and model railroads were its main claim to fame. Lionel trains, produced from 1900 to 1969, drew admiration from model railroaders around the world for the solidity of their construction and the authenticity of their detail. During its peak years, in the 1950s, the company sold $25 million worth of trains per year. Lionel resumed producing toy trains in late 1945, replacing their original product line with less-colorful, but more realistic trains and concentrating exclusively on O-gauge trains. Many of Lionel's steam locomotives had a new feature: smoke—produced by dropping a small tablet or a special oil into the locomotive's smokestack, which contained an electric heating element. Their most popular toy train ever mass-produced was the Santa Fe F3 released in 1948. It was manufactured for 19 years before being discontinued in 1966.By 1953 Lionel profits reached its highest peak in the postwar era at over $32 million, but as the 1950s progressed Lionel sales began to decline in the growing prevalence of space and military toys and slot car racing sets — all coinciding with the decline in rail travel and the launching of Sputnik, which began the space-race between the United States and Soviet Union, along with the associated military build-up as the Cold Wa...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c2d53340-a3b8-4139-b948-a5ebf02099e0/64c6cb1b-5534-4005-b6a9-18a2ecaab89e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/q4pKW6EonZ65dDny6z93JC</video:player_loc><video:duration>530</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T11:48:20.554Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wBMt7LX4LgRKp3Vic3iyVe</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c8fe5d5d-b151-4b52-b687-bdbb0c86b68a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" WINTER WONDERLAND " 1939 WHITE MOUNTAIN NATIONAL FOREST    NEW HAMPSHIRE    TRAVELOG  16564</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Santa Fe presents this film "The Museum and the Santa Fe Railroad" covering the impressive Santa Fe railway miniature model built by the avid model builder Minton Cronkite and exhibited in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois. This layout was 50-by-60-foot and in O scale. The Santa Fe Railroad (today merged into BNSF) was a pioneer in intermodal freight transport and was the only railroad to run trains from Chicago to California on its own tracks. The railroad wanted to inspire children and adults with its modern, efficient operation, and company brass thought a large model would be a great idea. They hired  Minton Cronkhite, an avid model builder who, by the time he was 40 in 1928, had sold a successful business and made enough profit that he could pretty well become a full-time model railroader.  He was hired in 1939, and built a model that displayed extreme detail, with functionalities nearly identical to the actual railway including a fully operational "hump yard". It opened to the public in January, 1941 and became a much beloved exhibit. Unfortunately, time wasn't kind to Chronkhite's artful construction. After being on display for decades, the layout became viewed as passe and out-of-date by museum management. Attempts to modernize it after Cronkhite's death were complicated, costly and generally unsuccessful. After a time in storage (so that a new transportation exhibit could be built complete with a jumbo jet) the layout was badly damaged and not fully operational when put back together. It was eventually decommissioned and components sold off in 2002 as a fundraiser for the museum.

In this 1955 children's religious and cultural educational film, viewers are introduced to the origins of contemporary American Christmas celebrations and to other common Christmas traditions around the world. The film starts with American children preparing a carol for a pageant. Their teacher informs them that the pageant will also feature children from different cultures demonstrating their own Christmas traditions. Many of these traditions are also the origin of American Christmas customs that the children know and celebrate themselves.

This short film, which apparently originally aired on Channel 4 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, takes a look at the Duncan Yoyo, a toy developed by the American toy manufacturer Duncan Toys Co. They were known best for their line of yo-yos. Duncan was founded in 1929. The show probably dates to the late 1950s, possibly 1958 when the Butterfly yoyo was introduced. The yo-yo actually originated in the Philippines. These were made popular in the US as Duncan hosted competitions throughout the country from the 1930’s through the 1950’s. Duncan was later absorbed by Flambeau. The film begins with a brief shot of WWII footage from a program that preceded this yoyo film on the air on Channel 4 (:16). The yo-yo return top appears (:26). Demonstrators sling the toy up and down (:36). Duncan Yoyo Champion Fred Fortunado (last name unclear) stands at the left (:42). He had just returned from a tour of the major cities of the far west teaching youth how to yo-yo as part of the company’s method to expand. The two yo-yo-ers are introduced by the host as Fred Fortunado and "Speedy Gonzales" (1:18).  Fred demonstrates how to ‘walk the dog’ (1:46). The ‘creeper’ method follows (1:54) as well as the three leaf clover (2:05). Other tricks are called ‘skin the cat’ (2:19), ‘sleeping beauty’ (2:22) and ‘rock the baby’ (2:34). An advertisement encourages the youth to join the Duncan yo-yo contest for the chance to win big prizes (2:51). The grand prize was a trip to Disney in California (3:09). Fred demonstrates how to conduct the ‘around the corner’ trick (4:17). The ‘sleeping beauty’ is revisited in slow motion (5:29). He shows how to conduct the ‘breakaway trick’ (6:39). The advertisement returns (7:59...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ee7ed17a-0ee3-4928-a0d6-63c7baa1dc5d/c8547eb4-a665-49c0-bd3b-19df597ad776-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vs8eECdvCfF7WupaZnFmn4</video:player_loc><video:duration>894</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T11:53:46.847Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2rdUmLjKqp8gf46YdffW2P</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e68345dd-39d4-4820-ba7e-89dab751fb09.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" JESUS LOVER OF MY SOUL "  1946 CHRISTIAN SING-A-LONG HYMN XD11584b</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This episode begins in 1932 to 1936 and Charles Lindbergh Jr. appears on screen in his home in Hopewell, NJ (:42). Viewers are shown the ladder (:51) in which his son had been carried down to his death on March 1st, 1932. It leads to two and a half years later at the county courthouse and David T. Wilentz (1:03) handles the case. Supreme Court Justice Thomas W. Trenchard presides over the case (1:12). Charles Lindbergh himself (1:18) appears walking into the courthouse. The handwriting experts (1:32), including Albert S. Osborn, spoke in front of the jury. Colonel Schwarzkopf of the NJ State police is exiting the courthouse (1:50). Images of the inside of the building in which the historic trial was held appear such as the seats for the jurors (2:00), the witness chair in which Bruno Richard Hauptmann claimed his innocence (2:03) and the electric chair that would be used for his execution (2:19).

The focus of the film is on the use of sound waves for detection and other purposes, including how sound is used underwater in order to track submarine locations (3:18). These echoes could pinpoint planes flying in the night sky (3:39). Scientists deduced that sound is the wave motion traveling from particle to particle (3:50). A representation of what sound waves might look like is shown (4:08). The telephone was able to pick up sound waves and convert them into waves of electricity which were able to travel through wires (4:23). However, the farther the waves had to travel, the fainter the sound (4:48). This lead to the introduction of electron tube amplifiers (5:00). During war time, special sounds made by an electron tube device called an oscillator were required (5:18). The sound waves would then cause a spot of light to appear on a cathode ray tube screen (6:05). How high the spot moved showed how far away the object was (7:14). Sonar is used to search for enemy ships (8:52).  Much of the research for the equipment shown in this film was conducted at Bell Telephone Laboratories (10:11). Western Electric Company manufactured the bulk of the equipment (10:26). An artificial ocean created by Bell laboratories is shown (10:49) which was used for equipment testing. More tests are completed on a floating laboratory (11:36) and bombs are seen exploding under water (12:43). Radar, which makes useful of radio waves that travel through darkness and clouds (12:51), is used for monitoring planes in flight. The antenna which sends radio waves out is shown (13:26) as well as a diagram which points out the location of the transmitter (13:42). The cathode ray tube indicator which manifested the spot of light that determined the location of the object follows (14:08). After the location has been discovered, the system was able to switch to automati...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c1246ae4-a0e1-4587-b8fb-624e51aa994a/a777a855-0392-4ee2-ad75-38e9ba5d5873-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pRiuTUpEMdNbGrZpKZ1tnd</video:player_loc><video:duration>1622</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T11:58:36.336Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vZZwKkdqKj8kXNifxgVzv1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4eb21316-3d21-4edf-bdbb-f8c6097c127a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"FIRE PREVENTION AND CONTROL"  WWII  U.S. NAVY TRAINING FILM    FIRE DRILL  ASBESTOS SUIT 64404</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Created by General Dynamics, this film was created to promote the F-111 Aardvark, a tactical strike aircraft, that could be used in all types of weather. 

The General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark was a supersonic, medium-range tactical strike aircraft that also filled the roles of strategic bomber, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare in its various versions. Developed in the 1960s by General Dynamics, it first entered service in 1967 with the United States Air Force. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) also ordered the type and began operating F-111Cs in 1973.

The F-111 pioneered several technologies for production aircraft, including variable-sweep wings, afterburning turbofan engines, and automated terrain-following radar for low-level, high-speed flight. Its design influenced later variable-sweep wing aircraft, and some of its advanced features have since become commonplace. The F-111 suffered a variety of problems during initial development and several of its intended roles, such as an aircraft carrier-based naval interceptor with the F-111B, failed to materialize.

USAF F-111 variants were retired in the 1990s, with the F-111Fs in 1996 and EF-111s in 1998. The F-111 has been replaced in USAF service by the F-15E Strike Eagle for medium-range precision strike missions, while the supersonic bomber role has been assumed by the B-1B Lancer. The RAAF was the last operator of the F-111, with its aircraft serving until December 2010.

It opens with a stamp mill being used to crush quartz rock (:59) and turns to fishing ships at port (1:20). The fish are pulled up in large nets and fish are sent flopping all over the deck (1:25). Conveyor belts are used to transport the fish (1:48). The Pribilof Island belt is the home of the seal (1:52) and these lay off the coast of Alaska. A huge span of seals follows (2:05) with footage of a parent and baby seal and a cluster of baby seals (2:42). A small number of seals were allowed to be killed annually as they were endangered (2:58). Alaskan whaling is looked at next (3:25) with a harpoon being fired off the deck of a whaling boat (3:30). The dead whale is then seen dragged in from the water with men standing on it which shows its size (4:08). The whalers then begin to hack and peel away a layer of skin and fat (4:25) which is then cut into smaller pieces and sent down a chute (4:45). Natives of Alaska are filmed beginning with a woman dumping her own fish catch (5:06). She is also seen weaving the fish together with what appears to be hay (5:22). Small children are seen gathered as well as parents feeding a small child from a pot (6:01). Festivities are shown (6:13) with intricate costumes and dancing (6:29).

Shot by an unknown American tourist, this silent home movie film shows footage of Washington D.C. and notable memorials and museums during WWII era. The film likely dates to about 1944-45, as the Pentagon (finished in 1943) appears in it. The most surprising aspect of this film is the lack of traffic in the nation's capitol, possibly due to wartime restrictions or due to it being shot during a holiday of some sort, or maybe both.
Some portions of the film were shot on Anscochrome film stock that has faded to red, but much of it is in beautiful Kodachrome.

It opens with shots of the National Gallery of Art (:12) beginning with a frontal view of the stairs and its massive columns. A close-up shot is provided of the intricate architecture on the columns (:21). Some of the statues resting outside of the art gallery are shown (:22). Two women are seen stopping in front of the fountain constructed outside (:43) and the film brings viewers inside of the National Gallery of Art shortly after (:53). The dome of the Capital building is first caught in the background here (:59). Visitors play tennis on wide green fields (1:10). Two enlisted men are filmed near a man setting up his camera.

A fully grown ear of corn follows (3:51). Corn is removed from the ends of the stalk (4:03). A primitive wooden machine separates the corn from the cob (4:18). These are then sifted (4:27). The seeds are then spread evenly in the dirt (4:53). The film turns to show the process of cultivation as a modern tractor rides down the corn field (5:09). The tassels and leaves of the corn are seen reaching over the dirt continuing to grow (5:37). After harvest the corn field is planted with more corn seeds (5:57) as a man moves down the rows checking leaves. The process of producing silage is looked at (6:12). Corn is pulled from the rows as a tractor moves down the line (6:25). The corn is then delivered to the silo (6:38).

This color home movie is about a trip to Wickenburg, Arizona and the Monte Vista Ranch in 1938.

The ranch is now part of a subdivision neighborhood in Wickenburg. 

The first part of the film the film was loose in the gate of the camera, so it is sub-standard. The second roll of film onward is fine.

This brief film (with titles in German) shows a launch, flight and landing of the Bell X-1A rocket plane at Edwards AFB in California. The plane is piloted by famed aviator Charles "Chuck" Yeager and most likely shows his flight on 12 December 1953, when he set a new air speed record. The film begins with a shot of the rocket plane at altitude, slung under a modified B-29 aka RB-50 Superfortress. At (:27) the pilot of the B-29 begins a five second countdown and the aircraft is released. At (1:00) the rocket engines are started and the plane begins its rapid acceleration towards Mach 1.0. It exceeds the speed of sound and continues to 1,000 miles per hour and a maximum speed of Mach 2.5.  At 2:14, Chuck Yeager begins his approach to the Edwards Dry Lake Bed and extends the plane's landing gear. The aircraft lands at (5:00). Produced by Paul R. Thoma Productions. (Note: this print has some repeated footage in it, for whatever reason). 

Ordered by the Air Force on 2 April 1948, the X-1A (serial number 48-1384) was intended to investigate aerodynamic phenomena at speeds greater than Mach 2 (681 m/s, 2,451 km/h) and altitudes greater than 90,000 ft (27 km), specifically emphasizing dynamic stability and air loads. Longer and heavier than the original X-1, with a stepped canopy for better vision, the X-1A was powered by the same Reaction Motors XLR-11 rocket engine. The aircraft first flew, unpowered, on 14 February 1953 at Edwards AFB, with the first powered flight on 21 February. Both flights were piloted by Bell test pilot Jean "Skip" Ziegler.

After NACA started its high-speed testing with the Douglas Skyrocket, culminating in Scott Crossfield achieving Mach 2.005 on 20 November 1953, ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bc0de2ec-f506-4732-afb8-f0d782e669f5/16c7a71a-12eb-40c1-bc1a-f25855e793e6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pdRW5ZJ3p9LiEieThSgNrt</video:player_loc><video:duration>333</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T12:20:44.911Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gLSPNp5E4KzerHGnnM5cvF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/30d7746f-98aa-4648-98f6-dcd471218acc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1933 CHICAGO WORLD’S FAIR “CENTURY OF PROGRESS” HOME MOVIE (LENTICULAR KODACOLOR) 58114</video:title><video:description>This black and white transfer of a 1933 Kodacolor lenticular home movie film documents the 1933 Century of Progress International Exposition, aka the Chicago World’s Fair, held in Chicago, Illinois from 1933 to 1934 in celebration of the city’s centennial.

At 1:40, the concept of "vertical envelopment" is described with helicopters deployed off of an aircraft carrier. At 1:45, a nuclear weapon goes off and Marines (at the nation's nuclear test site in Nevada as part of Upshot-Knothole ) observe the rising mushroom cloud. The cloud dissolves into the USMC logo at the Corp's recruiting depot in San Diego. The "making of Marines" is then described in Parris Island, South Carolina. Recruits are seen entering the depot and immediately being processed. At 3:30, a drill sergeant introduces them to the Corps, and the recruits walk past an Iwo Jima statue. At 4:16, the men strip and prepare for showers, and have their hair cut off at 4:30 (a la Full Metal Jacket). At 5:00 showers and then the men get new clothes. At 6:50, the men go to sleep, only to be awakened for physical exercise including the obstacle course and calisthenics. Close order drill is shown at 8:30. At 10:30, weapons are inspected by the Drill Sergeant. At 10:47, water training is shown and at 11:25, marksmanship and rifle practice with the M-1 Garand. Classroom instruction is shown at 13 minutes. At 14:30, Marines lift buckets as part of physical drills -- proving that you can use almost any heavy item for muscular benefit. At 15:00, hand to hand and bayonet drills are shown. At 17:44, final inspection is shown of the men who "made it" and are now able to proudly call themselves Marines. At 18:16 the final review march is shown at Parris Island. Semper Fi!

The Mount Lowe Railway was the third in a series of scenic mountain railroads in America created as a tourist attraction on Echo Mountain and Mount Lowe, north of Los Angeles, California. The railway, originally incorporated by Professor Thaddeus S. C. Lowe as the Pasadena &amp; Mt. Wilson Railroad Co.[1] existed from 1893 until its official abandonment in 1938, and had the distinction of being the only scenic mountain, electric traction (overhead electric trolley) railroad ever built in the United States. Lowe's partner and engineer was David J. Macpherson, a civil engineer graduate of Cornell University. The Mount Lowe Railway was a fulfillment of 19th century Pasadenans' desire to have a scenic mountain railroad to the crest of the San Gabriel Mountains.

The Railway opened on 4 July 1893, and consisted of nearly seven miles (11.2 km) of track starting in Altadena, California at a station called Mountain Junction. Atop Echo stood the magnificent 70-room Victorian hotel, the Echo Mountain House. Only a few hundred feet away stood the 40-room Echo Chalet which was ready for opening day.

This cartoon "Toonerville Trolley" dates to 1935 and was directed by Burt Gillett and Tom Palmer. It is one of the "Rainbow Parade" cartoons, a series of twenty seven toons made between 1934 and 1936, when the Van Beuren Studio closed. The cartoon was based on the popular newspaper cartoon strips by Fontaine Fox, whose cast of characters included the "Skipper" (a colorful motorman who operates a decrepit streetcar) and "The Powerful Katrinka", a large woman with superhuman strength. In this cartoon, the Skipper's morning trolley run is held up by a steep hill, and then ends up in a muddy lake after an encounter with Molly Moo-Cow. The motorman asks Katrinka to help him get the trolley out of the mud. The car is refurbished with a new red paint job, which incites the anger of a bull, leading to even more chaos. "Toonerville Trolley" was produced using a three-strip Technicolor process, which resulted in a beautiful end product.  Two other films were produced by Van Beuren with the Toonerville characters: Trolley Ahoy and Toonerville Picnic. 

The Van Beuren Corporation was based in New York City and produced theatrical cartoons as well as live-action short-subjects from the 1920s through 1936. It was founded by Amedee J. Van Beuren, who ran the business, and Paul Terry, who oversaw the animation studio up until 1929. When Terry left the business to form his own Terrytoons studio, John Foster took over. The Van Beuren studios remained in operation until union labor troubles and a stroke suffered by Amedee Van Beuren led to its closure in 1936. The company's library changed hands several times and many of the titles eventually made their way onto television in the 1950s. 

One interesting aspect of the Van Beuren Studios is that the company released the first sound cartoon in history, Paul Terry's "Dinner Time",  a mont...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f4ef0438-32ab-4bae-b70e-32f1dbce94e9/9deacbe3-cd9d-4ed2-8a9c-2c1336d9f4e6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wfeGG8Zp4ZzPzGhtJ9uuZP</video:player_loc><video:duration>412</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T12:32:57.008Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wciAKryfD5MaeFaapyG4Eb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/91dcc62e-3336-4b89-9e52-db1d942cec67.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1943 NEWS THRILLS  WWII VICTORY IN NORTH AFRICA  JAPANESE FILMS OF PEARL HARBOR ATTACK  55624</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Farney and Larry Faguino and their 17-foot outboard motor Searcher from Newport, CA to San Felipe, Mexico. In doing so, the two become the first men to circumnavigate the Baja California Peninsula in a small motor boat. From his home in Santa Ana, CA, Farney speaks to the camera about the voyage (01:37). The episode then shows the Searcher as it is lowered into the water. A woman christens the ship with a bottle of champagne. A small plane piloted by Farney’s friend Bob Gibhart, practices an air drop of supplies (02:29). There is a good shot of the supplies the men have for the trip. Viewers then get a bird’s eye view of the port of Ensenada (03:30). The two men visit the Lehi II, a floating raft that attempted to drift from California to Hawaii. They check outside what’s left of the cabin. A Mexican fisherman shows how his boat is stored in a sand pile during the off season (05:07). Mexicans wave goodbye to the two Americans as they leave the port. The plane buzzes the Searcher (06:07), and footage shows a supply package parachuting into the water.

The film opens with pilots sitting next to a jet at George Air Force Base near Victorville, CA, studying a map. The men are preparing to fly their North American F-100 Super Sabres in the Bendix Trophy Event, the famed continental speed race. The pilots run through their safety checks (01:20), then put on their gear and climb into their jets. The first F-100 takes off from the base in California (02:38), and the other five soon follow. The National Aircraft Show at Philadelphia International Airport (03:08) features crowds walking around the grounds and looking at the following aircraft on display: a Piasecki HUP Retriever, a Grumman F9F Cougar, a North American FJ-4 Fury, a Bell VTOL prototype (04:27), a Grumman S2F-1 Tracker (sub killer), a Vought F7U Cutlass (04:55), an old WWI biplane sitting next to a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk (05:23), a B-47 Stratojet, a C-17 Globemaster, and a Convair B-36 Peacemaker (06:31).

Viewers also see a Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw (07:11), a Cessna L-19, a Douglas Nike missile that the operator lowers for members of the crowd (07:26), a Beachcraft L-23 Seminole, a Piasecki H-25 Retriever/Army Mule, and a Bell H-13 Sioux helicopter. A young girl sits in the H-13 (08:38), looking unamused. People crowd in the stands to watch the Army’s H-13 helicopters “square dance” (08:44). The helicopters maneuver around in a square dance pattern. Next, the crowd is treated to the start of a simulated battle maneuver (10:39): an L-19 passes by; a transport helicopter drops off troops. An H-13 flies overhead; a H-19 carries a 75mm howitzer. An H-25 drops off cargo during the simulation (12:27), and an L-19 parachutes cargo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/eca2a79e-5a99-4f1c-8832-81b375c5e00d/982bc743-3068-4f3d-a47a-708ac2a78227-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vdNzSq1KeWxMqbw4E9nYFg</video:player_loc><video:duration>1507</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T12:38:47.903Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gXJxfiDLNz4w3Q7xUichbQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3cd1da58-85d1-4d69-9cb0-44363aa120ed.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL ACTORS STRIKE OF 1919   FIRST U.S. AIRMAIL   HALIFAX EXPLOSION  60694</video:title><video:description>This black-and-white film is an episode of “Yesterday’s Newsreel”, an early 1950s TV show made from the General Newsreel collection.

Made by the late John Hutter in the late 1940s or early 1950s, this travelogue film shows views of St. Augustine, Florida. The filmmaker, who was a Chicago-based accountant, traveled all over the world and filmed many of his adventures. The title card at the beginning "Chateau Hutter Films Presents", refers to a European-style resort that Hutter built in Door County, Wisconsin. Apparently Hutter hoped to show this film and others to visitors there, but the resort never hit its stride due to a series of disputes between Hutter and the local chamber of commerce. Opening titles: Chateau Hutter Films Presents A John Hutter Travel Adventure - Historic St. Augustine - Oldest City in the United States (:09).

Moon, A Sermon From Science is a late 1960s or early 1970s educational film that shows the developments made in recording the underwater sounds of the seas (while situating it in a Christian context). The film opens with a shot of the sun sitting just above the sea, reflecting off the water; this is followed by footage of coastal scenes and underwater shots of schools of fish swimming around reefs. The film features some close-up shots of certain fish, including lionfish, jellyfish, and seahorses. As the narrator discusses the sounds from the different cultures of man, the film shows footage from a number of different cities from around the world (02:28), as well as clips of people playing music and dancing. Viewers then see an early prototype of a vacuum tube and microphone (04:14), which would lead to the hydrophone. A man lowers a hydrophone into the water to record sound. A croaker fish swims by a hydrophone (07:13). A team from the Moody Science Institute rides out from L.A. on a boat (07:33); a diver puts on diving gear and goes below the water to make an underwater recording of the ocean’s sounds. Footage shows schools of fish and includes corresponding audio; viewers see dolphins and a sea turtle (which bites at a hydrophone). At the University of Rhode Island’s Narragansett Marine Laboratory (09:42), scientists analyze and catalog the sounds of sea life. The film shows more fish and plays their audio recordings, including the sounds of a toadfish (11:03). A researcher looks at a fish’s swim bladder, which is used to make drumming sounds. The film presents the sounds of various fish and sea animals, including a Sea Robin (12:19), a burr fish, a spiny lobster (13:08), and snapping shrimp. A dolphin at Marine Land of the Pacific in California has its sounds recorded (14:27); the dolphin retrieves rings using sona...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f4b28354-b679-46f3-80bd-3fdce1607f09/a0714124-7dd0-43f9-a45f-6c1a44c49065-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wdxws6RbEATjaGsYvP9Mkp</video:player_loc><video:duration>1705</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T12:49:44.605Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ac4YmD225uCbko3LDnT3iH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c69189bc-47d1-4735-b972-96f4b41dda06.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY BROWN WATER NAVY   VIETNAM WAR   ARMORED TROOP CARRIERS (ATC)  RAW FOOTAGE   83615</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

These silent dailies from the Vietnam War show some of the U.S. Navy's "brown water Navy" or riverine force. At the start of the film, troops board Armored Troop Carriers (ATC) and travel to the self propelled barracks ship APB-35 Benewah is seen, flagship for the Commander Task Force (CTF) 117, the Mobile Riverine Force operating in the Mekong Delta. In addition to serving as headquarters, she provided barracks space, medical facilities, stores issue and a myriad of other services to the sailors and soldiers operating with the Mobile Riverine Force and with the similar formations that succeeded that organization when it was disestablished late in August 1969.  At 3:35, Armored Troop Carriers (ATC) are seen on the move. ATCs were often called Tangos from the phonetic alphabet for T, were LCM-6 landing craft modified for riverine patrol missions. They were used by the Mobile Riverine Force (MRF) of the United States Army and Navy in the Vietnam War. They were also used by Republic of Vietnam Navy (RVNN) and Khmer National Navy.

The film uses interviews and images of the actual people and places that worked to create the first sustained atomic reaction on 2 December 1942 at CP-1 at the University of Chicago. The film opens with shots of aspects of nuclear power and nuclear reactions, as well as an aerial shot of a nuclear reactor facility (01:29). An aerial shot of University of Chicago 02:20) in 1942 shows viewers where the location of CP-1 is, behind a vine-covered football field. Dr. John Wheeler of Princeton University (03:04) recounts his experience being part of the team that developed the first atomic bomb. University of Columbia’s Leo Szilard (03:45) also part of the team, as is Ernest Lawrence, inventor of cyclotron (04:25). The task was to make a block of uranium big enough to have enough U-235 to release atomic energy. The creation of plutonium (05:40) to substitute for U-235 proves to be a major step forward for the project. Dr. Glenn Seaborg talks about weighing first sample of plutonium (06:33). To many, the idea of creating an atomic bomb out of newly manufactured element seemed absurd. At Columbia, Princeton, and Chicago, efforts are made to suspend plutonium. It appears the efforts are falling behind as Nazis take control of Czechoslovakia’s uranium ore reserves (08:21) and Norway’s heavy water facility (08:25); however, the bombing of the Norwegian plant buys the U.S. more time. At Columbia, scientists make graphite blocks to use in splitting atoms (09:15). British scientists (09:57) find that as little as 25 pounds of U-235 can make a bomb. The bombing of Pearl Harbor (10:09) happens, leading to more crash programs and the militarization of the operation. Scientists continue tests (12:25), and a breakthrough happens when Frank Spedding (13:32) of Iowa State develops a new technique for producing uranium.

In this particular installment, host Bill Burrud introduces the film alongside famed surfer and videographer Bruce Brown. Bruce was known for his short films that shed light on the culture and sport of surfing and was best known for his film “Barefoot Adventure.” The film touches on the most dangerous parts of the sport, where the best surf is, as well as the surfers’ pass times during the off season. Thought to have Polynesian origins dating back to the 12th century, surfing rose in popularity across the world during the early 20th century thanks to stars of the sport, George Freeth and Duke Kahanamoku. American interest in the sport grew once more during World War II as servicemen turned to surfing while stationed in Hawaii.

The film opens with shots of great frigatebirds (00:09), Galapagos land iguanas (00:52; 02:30), Galapagos tortoise (01:02), and the Galapagos fur seal. A map provides an overview of the islands, and an aerial shot gives an even better view (03:21). Visitors can fly in on a plane (03:40) from Ecuador, then tour the islands on luxury yachts or small cruise ships, which enable them to visit isolated beaches (04:05) in pristine coves. People on a small motor boat pass through seals on their way to land, where they watch land iguanas (06:15), pelicans, and gray gulls (07:10). A man feeds a land iguana (07:25). Seals (07:36) bark while relaxing on rocks. A giant tortoise (08:12) at Charles Darwin Station at Academy Bay is photographed. A woman holds baby tortoises. Lava lizards (08:50) are a favorite for visitors to the island. Tower Island is home to the frigatebirds (10:14; 10:40), red-footed boobies (11:05), and Darwin finches. Isla Santa Maria is home to flamingos (12:40), but their populations are decreasing, and they are largely left alone. Visitors must stop at the famous Post Office Barrel at Post Office Bay (13:30). On Hood Island (14:04), visitors find the Galapagos Albatross, as this island is the only place where they nest. A baby booby watches a tourist photograph wildlife (14:51). Porpoises, pelicans, and seals swim in the blue waters just off the coast of Hood Island. Isla Fernandina is home to sea lions, seals (17:06), penguins (19:35), flightless cormorants (18:01), and a massive colony of marine iguanas (18:18). Visiting mainland Ecuador affords tourists the chance to meet Colorado Indians (20:10) in Santo Domingo, watch the annual bull fights of Quito (20:41), explore streets and markets, relax at the beaches near Salinas, and enjoy the fiesta Quito (22:00).

This important film, "The Will To Live" was written by David Epstein with a score by Herman Fuchs and presented by the Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) in 1947. "The Will to Live" comes from the immediate post-war period, and focuses on the JDC's efforts in a modern-day exodus -- the resettling the Jewish community in Europe in the aftermath of WWII and the Holocaust. At that time the refugee challenge facing the JDC was immense, and the film was created as a fundraiser to help ease the crisis. The JDC was originally founded in 1914 in order to provide assistance to the Jewish community residing under Turkish rule; in the lead up to WWII, JDC stepped up operations to try to assist Jews attempting to flee Hitler.  

Presented as an appeal for Jewish refugees overseas and in Palestine (:13). The film was created on behalf of the JDC by RKO Pathe (:15). The film is narrated by actor Paul Muni (:32).

A Signal Corps production circa 1943 to 1944, this black and white reel is labeled an official film of the War Department in cooperation with combat film units of the United States Marines, Navy, and Air Forces. The Burma Outpost Combat Film Unit provided content for this communique, or official war statement, as part of a monthly series of pictorial reports in key cities directed at industrial war workers and labor groups. The Industrial Services Division of the War Department Bureau of Public Relations established the distribution of these films across the nation. Mountain ranges of the Arakan Yoma system create a barrier between India and Burma, now known as Myanmar, and divide Japanese forces from American forces (00:45-00:57). The Naga Hills have a height of over 12,000 feet on the India-Burma front. Hidden American outposts, like that of Station X in the 10th Air Force, are scattered among the densely forested and rolling hills in the area (1:00). Tribesman of the Naga Hills occasionally interact with U.S. soldiers for trade and other exchanges (01:15-01:40). G.I.s use elephants to trek into the jungle, always on the lookout for Japanese air strikes (02:00-02:52). C-47 aircraft bring supplies via parachutes to the isolated soldiers (03:17-03:40). A popular, humorous animated G.I. called Private Snafu is shown in a piece called “The Home Front” (04:15-08:37). Private Snafu appeared in animated shorts produced for military forces between 1943 and 1945 during World War II. The Combat Photo Unit describes "What Makes a Battle", and the capture of the Japanese stronghold on the Marshall Islands by U.S. land and naval forces is depicted (08:40-19:40).

Dating to November 26, 1962, just about a month after the Cuban Missile Crisis came to a dramatic end, this historic film shows President John F. Kennedy arriving at the Homestead Air Force Base aboard Air Force One.  Kennedy delivered remarks at Homestead and presented unit awards for outstanding reconnaissance work concerning the Soviet missile bases in Cuba.

In the film, President Kennedy exits the plane, followed by General Farris Bryant and U.S. Army General Maxwell D. Taylor. They are warmly greeted by Gen. Thomas Power, Gen. Walter C. Sweeney and civilian dignitaries. President then shakes hands with officers in receiving line. The President gets into a red convertible and tours the airbase, where numerous F-100 Super Sabre and A-7 Corsair II aircraft are visible on the tarmac (3:37), as well as A-1 Skyraiders and Douglas C-124 Globemaster (4:22). An air show follows at (5:26), which included a demonstration of a "Blue Moon" low-level reconnaissance run by Air Force RF-101 Voodoo jets. (The Blue Moon missions had proved crucial for gathering intelligence on Soviet missile bases in Cuba.)

The presidential aircraft shown is SAM 26000, which was the first of two Boeing VC-137C United States Air Force aircraft specifically configured and maintained for use by the president of the United States. It used the callsign Air Force One when the president was on board, otherwise SAM 26000 (spoken as 'SAM two-six-thousand'), with SAM indicating 'Special Air Mission'.

Created by North American Aviation in 1949 to promote their newest jet aircraft, this silent film features the B-45 Tornado bomber and the F-86 Sabre, as well as the FJ-1 Fury. The North American B-45 Tornado 4-jet bomber is shown at (:24). It was the first operational jet to enter service with the United States Air Force as well as the very first multiengine jet bomber to have ever been refueled in midair. These planes entered into service in 1948. It is filmed gracefully taking off from the runway (:50). An aerial view from a plane above it is provided (2:36) as its wings spread over mountainous regions. The next plane to be shown off is the F-86 Sabre fighter (4:14) also known as the Sabrejet. It was a trans sonic jet fighter aircraft developed in the 1940’s. The F-86 was the U.S.’s first swept wing fighter that was able to keep up with the Soviet MIG-15 in air combat during the Korean War. This jet fighter fought in some of the earliest jet versus jet battles in history and was considered of the best fighter aircrafts in the Korean War. The pilot is seen climbing into its cockpit (4:23) and as it heads down the runway (4:41). As it soars into the sky, the jet conducts barrel rolls in the air (5:53). This is followed by the North American FJ-1 Fury (7:21) which is a carrier-based jet fighter. This was the first operational jet aircraft used in the US Navy. It had a short service life though it had won in the Bendix Trophy Race for Jets in September of 1948. This craft is filmed while conducting barrel rolls in air (7:55) and as a group of them fly in formation past an aircraft carrier (8:42). It touches down with an abrupt halt (9:51) and a submarine surfaces nearby (11:38). The film concludes with a shot from above the craft looking down into the pilot’s cockpit (12:13).

It opens with a cartoon depicting a caveman hunting with a rock (:39). Without understanding relative motion, when he throws the rock at the deer, he misses every time as the deer is in motion (1:00). When begins to guess the two motions of the moving deer and the rock he begins to understand relative motion and becomes a skillful hunter (1:58). From the deer’s perspective it appears the rock is coming straight for him although it was actually thrown ahead of him (1:17). A forward pass is shown in a football game which also uses relative motion (1:52). On the road, relative motion is showed by two cars driving at 50 mph and when one speeds up or slows down it appears the cars are moving away from one another or closer to one another, respectively (2:25). In naval operations, relative motion problems could be plotted to receive accurate solutions (2:56). The definition is provided which is: relative motion is the apparent motion of one moving object to another moving object (3:15). A demonstration follows of two ships crossing one another (3:23). Ship A in the demonstration is to watch the apparent motion of ship B and vice versa (4:01). Ship A’s relative motion is parallel to the relative motion of ship B (4:33). A vector line is shown which represents the direction of ship A and another vector line which shows the direction of ship B (4:49) and when the two are joined they form the two sides of a vector triangle (5:24). The third side of the vector triangle represents the true course and speed of ship B. This vector diagram is the key to solving all relative motion issues (5:44). The direction and speed of it’s third side can be discovered if any of the other two sides are known (6:02). An example is provided of two ships moving on opposing courses (6:23) and when their vectors are added together, the relative speed between the two...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6679acda-3cc5-4df0-863d-85bb2e29dc8e/e83016dd-daa3-47e2-9053-5d135e431bc4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dDWm4iBnK35nZG4aqUuBCs</video:player_loc><video:duration>743</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T13:13:10.769Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/42sYa44HbfAevNzHEKZ4n9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bf045d51-f828-4771-80f4-842820d195f7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s COLOR SILENT HOME MOVIE   MULTI-GENERATIONAL FAMILY VISITING ITALY  12385</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This is a family-home movie that likely dates to the early 1950s. Shot in a family home and property in Italy, the film features beautifully vibrant footage of intimate family scenes, highlighting in the short five minutes the beauty of a multi-generational family and the ephemeral nature of life as the seasons change throughout the film and the various generations age. 

Film opens to young girl flipping through pages of American women’s magazine ‘Ladies’ Home Journal’ (0:13). Another scene of young girl jumping rope on outdoor terrace, footage changes to slow motion (0:26). Young girl once again, this time featured in a different outfit, fixes and fluffs hair while looking at the camera (0:34). Dimly lit hallway, view from top of staircase, young girl from prior scenes is now a young woman walks up staircase of family home towards camera carrying baby boy in arms, perhaps her mother follows suit (0:59). Shot of dimly-lit salon area with wood paneled walls, young woman props baby on chair next to perhaps great-grandmother (1:26). View of terraced garden through large window displaying various multi-colored glassware i.e. vases, stemware (1:53). Another angle of same window, light pours into living room area with bar and art works on display (2:12). Close-up women from three different generations of same family drink aperitifs in corner of living room (2:36).

Dating to the late 1960s/early 1970s, this raw footage shows U.S. Army soldiers delivering supplies to a South Vietnamese school. The boxes are marked "CARE", and some of the contents visible include a football (1:28). The delivery was almost certainly part of an effort to win the hearts and minds of Vietnamese civilians during the long Vietnam conflict.

Abraham Zapruder wasn't the only person with an 8mm camera in Dallas on November 22, 1963. Many other citizens filmed the arrival of President John F. Kennedy and his wife at Love Field, up until the tragic events in Dealey Plaza. Created by an obscure producer named "Dallas Cinema Associates" (DCA), and sold as a somewhat macabre souvenir, this 8mm film "President Kennedy's Final Hour" combines footage shot by a number of different amateur cameramen and camerawomen. The film was the inspiration of a man named Wyman Parr, who himself had filmed footage that day. Parr managed to get  in touch with many other people who shot footage that day and made an agreement with them to form DCA and split the profits from this film. The group eventually included almost twenty individuals including Rudy Brenk, Bryant Boren, Mrs. Frances Hayes (whose husband shot footage), George Shawver, Dick Allen, Hazel Gooch,  Jule Spiegel, John Martin, Jr., George Kincaid, Allen Rhodes, Albert Bunell, Joe Brown, C.W. Gray, Earl Mester, Dr. Howard Siegler, Irving Gewertz, Larry Thomas and Charles Mentensana. It's not known if the venture was profitable, but it did attract the attention of the U.S. government as a memo has emerged indicating that these individuals were all to be interviewed by federal agents (except for John Martin, who apparently was interviewed prior to the film's release). 

The movie traces the presidential motorcade's path through Dallas, up until the point it enters Dealey Plaza. A brief title card at the end of the movie states that "This film...is a true pictorial account of November 22, 1963 and its aftermath. It's purposes is not to minimize nor enlarge upon the horrors of the tragedy, ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c1ba15f5-2852-49d6-95b0-e780597a659b/625a9c1c-39e1-42fe-889a-cf4ced61aacc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pVumPhhARBaRFHcXgYx2z6</video:player_loc><video:duration>717</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T13:14:57.903Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iSZni3jiraZSpnS1pcd2kP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/93396fc1-423f-4844-bdcd-9bef27eb1e78.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE LEBANON " 1960s PAN AM TRAVEL PROMO FILM    BEIRUT, BAALBEK, BATROUN, SIDON, RACHANA XD77635</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

“The Lebanon” is a color, 1960s travel film by Pan Am Airways promoting travel to the small, Levantine country on the Mediterranean - Lebanon. The film is one in a series made for Pan Am called "New Horizons". Lebanon’s location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Basin and the Arabian hinterland has contributed to its rich history and shaped its diverse cultural identity. Between Lebanon’s independence from the French at the end of World War II and before the start of the Lebanese Civil War, the country was dubbed the “Switzerland of the Middle East” and was a popular destination for jet setters from around the world. Censorship notice British Board of Film Censors London, England (0:01).

These silent dailes from the Vietnam War show some of the U.S. Navy's "brown water Navy" or riverine force. At the start of the film, USS Whitfield County (LST-1169) is seen at (16:00). This ship, previously called USS LST-1169, was a landing ship tank (LST) in commission from 1954 to 1973. It saw action in the Vietnam War.  At 1:17, the self propelled barracks ship APB-35 Benewah is seen, flagship for the Commander Task Force (CTF) 117, the Mobile Riverine Force operating in the Mekong Delta. In addition to serving as headquarters, she provided barracks space, medical facilities, stores issue and a myriad of other services to the sailors and soldiers operating with the Mobile Riverine Force and with the similar formations that succeeded that organization when it was disestablished late in August 1969. At (1:52), a Huey helicopter takes off from APB-35, and at 2:18 a series of what appear to be Assault Support Patrol Boat (ASPB) craft are seen next to the mother ship.

This film presents an introduction to the Drivotrainer, a driver's education simulator produced by the automobile insurer Aetna. The Drivotrainer dates as far back as 1951, when Aetna introduced the innovative system, which combined an automobile simulator with 16mm motion pictures and a scoring computer, to provide enhanced behind-the-wheel instruction in the classroom. Note: this film was originally presented in widescreen and will appear slightly distorted on Youtube.In the opening scene young men and women sit holding the steering wheels of the Aetna Drivotrainer units with non-functional headlights and bumpers, making them look a bit like the front end of tractors or bumper cards(0:19).

Men With Green Faces (MN 10585) is a Vietnam-era U.S. Navy documentary from 1969 that explains the intense mental and physical challenges endured by those who want to become elite Navy SEALs. In addition to demonstrating the functions of the Navy's frogmen commandos, the film reflects the excitement of parachute jump training to the quite of jungle patrols. The film opens with Navy SEALs (of what appears to Underwater Demolition Team II) paddling a boat down a river; the men leave the river and head into the jungle for a reconnaissance mission. New SEALs listen to a commander during training (02:30). The men exercise on a field, do pullups, and carry boats while singing. Later, the frogmen put on masks and jump out of a raft moving along a body of water at a fast pace (05:44). The boat comes back around to retrieve the men, who hook their arms on a rope loop to move back into the boat. A member of Underwater Demolition Team II explains an Emerson Scuba Rig to the new SEALs (06:58). Underwater footage shows the SEALs moving just above the water’s floor (07:26), presumably with the Emerson rig. At Fort Benning, GA, the men train by jumping out of a Chinook helicopter into water (08:00), repelling down a line to simulate a parachute jump (08:32), and experience parachute openings while training on a four-armed tower (09:42). The SEALs graduate to parachuting out of a plane during an actual training jump (10:44). Several SEALs participate in a HALO jump (High Altitude, Low Opening). The SEALs participate in a patrol mission during a realistic training (12:20). “Enemy” targets (spring-loaded targets) spring up and the SEALs quickly shoot them. Two men practice hand-to-hand combat and fighting techni...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7f27a11f-7b66-4e6a-a474-1d0123365be5/c8f02aca-f5b9-46ce-b7f6-176b9c1cb0fd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gGGeUR244UroNKMi1UrDvX</video:player_loc><video:duration>1737</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T13:31:26.628Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sgRdWix9rgpMB8Tu81VkT7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3c643992-580c-4c4e-9906-bc22e038d324.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE FIFTH MEXICAN ROAD RACE" 1954 CARRERA PANAMERICANA  AUTO RACING DOCUMENTARY  46314</video:title><video:description>Presented by MobilOil and dedicated to the memory of Clay Smith, “The Fifth Mexican Road Race” (c.1954) is a color, documentary film about the 5th and final installment of the Carrera Panamericana.

This short film “Children of the Nile” is part of the Port O’Call series produced by Deane H. Dickason and presented by William Pizor; these consisted of short films featuring foreign countries and exotic places. This film focuses on life and customs of Egyptians living in Kerdasa, Egypt which is less than a mile away from the Sahara Desert and close to the Pyramids of Giza. It was filmed in 1934, when Egypt was occupied by the British, and thus the film reflects colonialist views and stereotypes present at that time. This film was approved by the National Board of Review. Its sound technician was Lyman J. Wiggin. Its cinematographer was S. Crawford Rorer. It was edited by Nathan CY Braunstein. The musical arrangement was by Louis Betancourt’s Marimba Orchestra. The film begins with a title page with a lighthouse and text saying that the film was presented by William M. Pizor (0:12).

This silent newsreel footage contains various segments. The first segment dates to 1930 and show the largest Goodyear blimp fleet formation flight (even to this day) as six of the company's famed blimps sail over Akron, Ohio. The blimps shown are the Pilgrim, Neponset, Vigilant, Mayflower, Defender and Puritan. What an awesome sight! At (2:29) a dirigible, probably the USS Akron, is visible on the field behind the blimp fleet. At (2:34) another segment shows Capt. Nungesser's airplane on static display. At (2:39) the start of the Gordon Bennett Balloon Race in St. Louis is shown. No date is visible but this is probably 1929, as the Danmark balloon is prominently shown.

Made in 1946, this industrial promo film presents the new and exciting technology offered by Dictaphone that allows the recording of phone calls and improves office dictation, and improves business communications. The Dictaphone company was founded by Alexander Graham Bell and after the Second World War, it introduced a new feature known as the Dictabelt. This had the capabilities to record higher quality and more permanent than wax recording cylinders. This film was created as a way to advertise their new features and encourage business owners and executives to use the voice recording equipment in their offices. The name Dictaphone was trademarked in 1907. 

The film opens with a newspaper executive taking a phone call over “some of the worst fires in the city’s history” (:16). The reporter blasts information from a telephone booth (:32). Over dinner, the reporter tells his associate how the paper had installed telephone recording machines (:48). A secretary sets up a Dictaphone for use in the office (1:03). Mr. Baker informs the reporter that his business would have no use for the Dictaphone (1:37) and from here the film uses Mr. Baker to prove any business can benefit from the product. Back at his office, his secretary delivers a memo with incorrect information (1:54). She complains of being unable to understand what the caller was saying (2:20). Mr. Baker worries he may lose the sale (4:00). Another call comes in, Mr. Baker calls his secretary in (4:11). As he begins to dictate a note, another call comes over the line (6:13). Confusion ensues as a sloppy note is sent for Mr. Brown and (6:50) the executive is further interrupted as a third call comes in. The film notes if the calls had been ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/384c643e-927a-4d00-858d-f502c4fcd1bf/45e4efa7-be4f-42a0-8006-9c82ce71f901-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7XdqbUzvAFs65Yo8iQqhbt</video:player_loc><video:duration>1271</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T13:41:09.449Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rDrJW5j39ruCheqWz1ERmY</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4d2c43f8-0422-4e8e-9940-8a2d7bd290b2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“THE NEW EDITION OF THE TIME MASTER FOR BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS” 1955 DICTAPHONE CORP.

This brief vintage promotional film displays new innovative technology by the Dictaphone Corporation. It takes just a few minutes to look at the Time-Master; a unit which used a 3.5 inch wide belt coated with magnetizable material. These belts were designed to be stronger than the usual plastic recording tapes. The film is presented by Dictaphone Corporation (:14). The new ‘Time-Master’ was designed using the same recording principal of the plastic memo belt (:54). A man demonstrates how to install the memo belt (:55). It must be pre-loaded (1:04). He presses the dictate lever down (1:09) and the microphone beings to record (1:12). A telephone call comes in (1:28). The machine has the capabilities to inform the caller on the other end that they are being recorded (1:37). The machine is put to use recording a small conference (1:43). A secretary is pictured at the office using the Time-Master to use (1:49). The foot pedal controls are displayed (2:02). The memo belt is designed to be extendable (2:14). A secretary marks the memo belt with a grease pencil (2:27). The film boasts the machine is light and good for travel (2:39). The film concludes with the Patton for the new technology (3:37).

The TV show "Bold Journey" delved into historical narratives about explorers and exploration, and was shot in an interview format with captivating clips. This program is a remarkable account of the discovery and revelation of the world's tallest waterfall, known as "Angel Falls." Through interviews and curated footage, the film captures the journey of discovering this natural wonder, offering viewers a vivid and immersive experience of the historic event.

Television presenter John Stevenson introduces “Bold Journey”, as the television series that offers new films from all parts of the world each week (0:17). The next scene is of Stevenson, presenting Col. Nicol Smith, who led an expedition to find Angel Falls and photograph it (0:32). Stevenson continues to explain that the film will be about the expedition, to find the highest waterfall on earth (0:46). In 1937, as pilot Jimmy Angel flew over unexplored land in Venezuela, he discovered a waterfall with a drop of 3,212 feet, which is 15 times greater than Niagara Falls (1:07). Stevenson sits down with Colonel Smith and begins interviewing him; Smith is apparently a former OSS officer who wrote the book "Golden Doorway to Tibet" (1:50). It is explained by him that this particular waterfall had actually been discovered nearly four centuries ago, but many believed it could not be possible (2:13). The interviewer goes on to present the episode called "The search for Angel Falls”, which will be based on Colonel Smith's expedition (2:39). Black and white scenic shot of eastern Venezuela (2:55). Colonel Smith explains that when the Conquistadors first went to eastern Venezuela, they met natives that told them about a huge devil mountain tha...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8f7715c6-5bcf-4143-957b-3b34298034e4/ea8222c5-88b6-435d-b50b-c22ca01f628c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iHvA1E6nAu6LM61VTfd34f</video:player_loc><video:duration>1506</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T13:42:45.104Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3XJSybDyXtHSYiVJDFgP7v</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/078586a7-16e7-49a8-8abd-152e5356cbee.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" PRESSURE GROUPS " 1952 SPECIAL INTEREST LOBBYING &amp; POLITICAL PRESSURE GROUPS FILM  XD72454</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Presented by the United States Marine Corps “Combat Leadership: The Ultimate Challenge” is a color, 80s-era USMC recruitment film. Narrated by actor (and decorated Marine) Lee Marvin, the film includes interviews with various Marine Corps veterans who served in WWII, Vietnam, Korea, Grenada and even the Banana Wars of 1934. It also features archival footage from each of these conflicts/invasions. Each interview is meant to underscore the advanced training and upstanding morals of the Marine Corps.   (Note: Lee Marvin served in the 4th Marine Division as a scout sniper in the Pacific Theater during WWII, including assaults on Eniwetok and Saipan-Tinian.)

Marines march in formation in Dress Blues carrying ceremonial Mameluke Sword, footage intercut with scenes of new recruits arriving at base - induction / indoctrination, shaving heads, communal shower, changing into Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform/ “cammies” (0:37). Field combat training intercut with footage of Marines in field - traversing desert landscape, jungle (2:18). Recruits run in uniform along coastal beach at Parris Island, South Carolina. At (1:47), recruits have their hair cut a la Full Metal Jacket. Host/ narrator Lee Marvin (3:00). Interview Sgt. Maj. Leo Robert, archival combat footage, perhaps from Vietnam War (3:48).

This brief film shows tests of the Waterman Aerobile aka Arrowplane. This flying car was recognized by the Bureau of Air Commerce in 1934 as one of the two award-winning designs for its flivver (i.e., light, easy-to-fly and affordable) aircraft competition. Waldo Waterman's improved Arrowplane, the Aerobile #6, fulfilled his dream of designing a tailless roadable airplane.

The Aerobile was a two-place, high-wing, cabin monoplane with a transmission drive system that operated the propeller in the air and the rear wheels on the ground. The one-piece wing was removed by moving a lever and pins. Painted in "Buick blue," it had many standard Studebaker, Ford, Austin, and Willys automobile parts to keep the price down and maintain the look of a car. It received FAA certification in the experimental category in 1957, but no market materialized. It's now part of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

The Titan II was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) developed by the Glenn L. Martin Company from the earlier Titan I missile. Titan II was originally designed and used as an ICBM, but was later adapted as a medium-lift space launch vehicle (these adaptations were designated Titan II GLV and Titan 23G) to carry payloads to Earth orbit for the United States Air Force (USAF), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

This NASA documentary depicts the preparation, launch, and recovery of the successful flight of the Apollo 4 Saturn V on November 9, 1967. In 1961 former U.S. Presidents John F. Kennedy proposed to land an astronaut on the moon by the end of the decade, with a safe return to Earth. All rocket stages of Apollo 4 were fully functional, and the unmanned test flight eventually became the Saturn V rocket, which took man to the moon. The film is written and directed by Cal Reed, edited by Bob Clarke, narrated by Marvin Miller, and photographed by Sid Brownlee, Dave Weeks, and Paul Hipp.

This is a slow-motion aerial clip of the launch of Titan II, N-27, on 9 November 1963, Launch Complex 395-C, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The apogee of this launch was 1,300 km.

21-31 seconds, first stage ignition and thrust buildup,

3:57  footage most likely taken from helicopter. Contrail formation beginning at 3:57.  Staging is not shown.

The Titan II was an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) developed by the Glenn L. Martin Company from the earlier Titan I missile. Titan II was originally designed and used as an ICBM, but was later adapted as a medium-lift space launch vehicle (these adaptations were designated Titan II GLV and Titan 23G) to carry payloads to Earth orbit for the United States Air Force (USAF), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Those payloads included the USAF Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP), NOAA weather satellites, and NASA's Gemini crewed space capsules. The modified Titan II SLVs (Space Launch Vehicles) were launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, up until 2003.

The Titan II Research and Development  flight test program consisted of Category I and Category II test operations conducted at the Air Force Eastern Test Range (AFETR), with launches from Cape Kennedy, Florida, and the Air Force Western Test Range (AFWTR) with launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California during the period from March 1962 to April 1964.

This film "Knifecraft" is produced and presented by the Boy Scouts of America in 1948. It takes place in Hales Corners Wisconsin and shows wood carving and knifecraft of Ben Hunt.  Ben Hunt (1888-1970) was a craftsman who wrote many books and articles about wood carving, leatherwork, Native American arts, and whittling. Official summary: Illustrates the proper care and handling of a pocket knife, using the carving of a Kachina Doll lamp as an example. Shows initial preparations, the whittling down of material to rough dimensions, carving detail and the painting of an Indian design to finish the lamp.

Craftsman Ben Hunt whittling manually as the young boy attentively watches (0:31). They continue having a conversation (1:08). They start walking towards the cabinet showing Ben’s realistic carving of animals and birds (1:26).  The young boy, Jack, watches each figure carefully (1:36). Ben and Jack look at their whittling knives (1:42). Ben shows the three blades of his whittling knife (1:55). The large blade for heavy duty and blocking out rough shapes (1:57). The most used blade, small and round tip (2:05). The small square tipped blade (2:14). Ben proceeds to show the fine sides of a whetstone (2:23). Holding the blade flat against the stone, Ben sharpens his knife by slowly moving the blade in circles (2:41). Now Jack also rubs the knife against the stone as Ben supervises (2:53).  Ben shows the process of making the gadget he created to sharpen a knife to young Jack (3:11). He brings a foot long stick, emery cloth, sponge rubber, and smooth leather on the table (3:21). He tacked both ends of the rubber on the stick (3:30). He then covers the rubber with emery cloth and nails it down with a ha...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0a62cd5d-2f99-4217-ab0e-316ab2ed11f0/00d52902-5148-4c9b-93d0-22da8aee19e0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2hokjkxJ3TivakdBuk7sAU</video:player_loc><video:duration>683</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T14:04:01.580Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wWDDzgXcye5juPfuPqw13H</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bb1186d4-353f-42e3-bf7b-b939ceb47455.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1920s ARIZONA DESERT TRAVEL FOOTAGE   ELEPHANT FEET ROCKS   XD13344</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This silent film footage shows POV shots of a drive in rural Arizona in the late 1920s or early 1930s. The bridge at :39 has not been identified, but the long span might be a Colorado River bridge between Arizona and California, or the Gila River. Most of the scenery is not identified but includes various desert views and what is probably a Navajo community at 3:52.  At 4:10, the Elephant Feet Rock Formation is shown, on the Navajo Nation adjacent to U.S. Highway 160 about 1.5 miles north of Red Lake Trading Post. The bridge at 4:40 is probably the McPhaul Suspension Bridge, built in 1929 in Yuma County and spanning the Gila River.

This 1964 campaign ad for Democratic nominee and then-president Lyndon Baynes Johnson points to the fact that Republican nominee Barry Goldwater's positions were viewed as potentially disastrous and dangerous by members of his own party. 

The 1964 United States presidential election was the 45th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 3, 1964. Incumbent Democratic United States President Lyndon B. Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater, the Republican nominee, in a landslide.

Shot by an unknown American tourist, this fascinating home movie shows a fishing trip to Bimini in the Bahamas in the 1930s. It contains a segment that shows one of the Pan Am Commodore flying boats, and rare footage of the wreck of the SS Sapona, a ship connected to the so-called "Bermuda Triangle" disappearance of Flight 19. 

The film begins with footage of a man in a hat fishing off the back of charter boat. At 1:25, shots of the harbor area of what is probably Nassau Harbour. The Nassau Harbour Lighthouse aka Hog Island Lighthouse (or possibly Gun Cay Lighthouse ?) is shown at 2:05. 

The aircraft shown at 2:55, tail NC667M, is one of 14 Consolidated 16 Commodore flying boats bought by Pan Am from the NYRBA Line in December 1930.  The plane operated on the Miami to Santiago de Chile route via the east coast of Latin America.

The shipwreck at 4:05 is the SS Sapona. This was a concrete-hulled cargo steamer that ran aground near Bimini during a hurricane in 1926. The wreck of the ship is still visible above the water, and is both a navigational landmark for boaters and a popular dive site.  Sapona was built by the Liberty Ship Building Company of Wilmington, North Carolina, as part of a fleet of concrete ships authorized by Woodrow Wilson during World War I, because steel was in short supply. Like many others in the fleet, the ship was completed after the end of the war, and Sapona was sold for scrap to Carl Fisher, one of the developers of Miami Beach. It was initially used as a casino and later for oil storage. In 1924 it was purchased by Bruce Bethel, who moved the ship to Bimini, using it as a warehouse for alcohol during the era of Prohibition.

This brief, fragmentary film shows tests of the Waterman Aerobile aka Arrowplane. This flying car was recognized by the Bureau of Air Commerce in 1934 as one of the two award-winning designs for its flivver (i.e., light, easy-to-fly and affordable) aircraft competition. Waldo Waterman's improved Arrowplane, the Aerobile #6, fulfilled his dream of designing a tailless roadable airplane.The Aerobile was a two-place, high-wing, cabin monoplane with a transmission drive system that operated the propeller in the air and the rear wheels on the ground. The one-piece wing was removed by moving a lever and pins. Painted in "Buick blue," it had many standard Studebaker, Ford, Austin, and Willys automobile parts to keep the price down and maintain the look of a car. It received FAA certification in the experimental category in 1957, but no market materialized. It's now part of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

“Life of a Nomad People” (1949) is a black-and-white educational film made by Coronet Instructional Films. This film sheds light on the lives of nomadic people who travel from place to place, searching for food for their flock and water and food for their people. Specifically, this film takes a look at the life and customs of nomadic Amazigh/Berber people indigenous to North Africa as they travel through the Moroccan Sahara. It is interesting to note in this film some of the ways the presence of the French in Morocco impacted the customs and traditions of the nomadic people from using spoons to eat couscous instead of their hands and binoculars to look out into the vast desert landscape. The French protectorate in Morocco, also known as French Morocco, was the period of French colonial rule in Morocco between 1912 and 1956. At the center of Morocco’s independence movement were Amazigh tribes from across the country.

These home movies come from the estate of Albert A. Binney, Sr. a long-time resident of Montecito and Los Angeles, California. In 1930, Binney co-founded Binney, Chase &amp; Van Horne, a successful insurance business that was still in operation through 2018. These home movies show various family activities but the locations and people in them are unknown. Apparently the family was fairly affluent (just to afford home movies required a certain amount of largesse) and based on their clothes and lifestyle, one can assume they were not a typical American family from the period which, of course, is considered part of the Depression. The family had homes or offices in several places over time, including at 2180 W 21st St in Los Angeles, 150 N Van Ness Avenue in Los Angeles, and 208 West 8th Street in Los Angeles. The film starts with a birthday party, looks like the late 1930s or early 1940s. At :27 the kids are shown with an elaborate log cabin type fort or playhouse, probably out of the Sears catalog.  A boy opens a present, looks like a painting kit at 1:13. At 1:30, elaborate table for the birthday. At 1:47, a boy is shown in a Taylor Tot baby stroller / walker. At 3:02, shots at the beach with a motor yacht visible in the background. At 4:40, two men ride in small sailboat. At 5:14, a girl runs through a field of wildflowers. At 6:36, shots in the mountains, possibly near Lake Louise in Canada.

This silent newsreel shows the H-4 Hercules, or the so-called "Spruce Goose", built by Howard Hughes during WWII. The H-4 (registration NX37602) was a prototype strategic airlift flying boat designed and built by the Hughes Aircraft Company. Intended as a transatlantic flight transport for use during World War II, it was not completed in time to be used in the war. As seen in the film, the gigantic aircraft made only one brief flight on November 2, 1947, and the project never advanced beyond the single example produced. Built from wood because of wartime restrictions on the use of aluminum and concerns about weight, it was nicknamed by critics the Spruce Goose, although it was actually made almost entirely of birch. The Hercules is the largest flying boat ever built, and it has the largest wingspan of any aircraft that has ever flown. The aircraft remains in good condition. After being displayed to the public for almost 11 years in Long Beach, California from 1980 to 1991, it is now displayed at the Evergreen Aviation &amp; Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon, United States.

This short 1970s film "Air-Cooled Engine-Uity" is actually a promo for Volkswagen of North America, demonstrating the reliability and functionality of its air cooled engines. The film features footage of the Volksplane VP-1, a single seat aircraft powered by a 40 hp VW engine. The Volksplane was designed by W.S. Evans, and first flew in 1968. At 1:01 the plane is shown landing at Pinkerton Aviation, where Evans' VW Beetle waits on the tarmac. At 1:30, Evans speaks to an admirer and shows off the plans for the VP-1. It's bare angular look is due to the designer’s aim to build a simple plane where appearance and performance were of secondary importance. At 1:58, the aircraft is shown in flight (aerobatics were not permitted in the VP-1). At 2:54, rear-engined VW dune buggies drive off-road through snow-covered landscapes. At 4:23, an air cushion vehicle or hovercraft powered by a VW engine is shown. At 5:50, a Whirly-bug gyrocopter tail N2747 is shown with the same air cooled VW engine. Inventor Bill Brown of Rialto, California.  (This aircraft is also known as a Benson Gyroplane or Benson B-8M Gyro-Copter.) 

The Volkswagen air-cooled engine is an air-cooled, gasoline-fuelled, boxer engine with four horizontally opposed cast-iron cylinders, cast aluminum alloy cylinder heads and pistons, magnesium-alloy crankcase, and forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods.

There are two distinct families/variations of the aircooled engine namely Type 1 and Type 4. The Type 3 engine is a variation of the Type 1 engine with pancake cooling arrangement.

Variations of the engine were produced by Volkswagen plants worldwide from 1936 until 2006 for use in Volkswagen's own vehicles, notably the Type 1 (Beetle)...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5acbb5ff-ea32-48d4-8a6f-0b54cd140fa4/67cb7c73-7740-451c-af9b-8bfdaf48621b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cdhDDVqJ73SnksgKjj3eKA</video:player_loc><video:duration>506</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T14:25:42.560Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/66E5aGa7VEwPvLxGcKqvkJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7d2970a8-9489-45fc-b0d6-08e0d900920d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s HOME MOVIE  CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA &amp; COLORADO TRIP  JOSHUA TREE NATIONAL PARK PIONEERTOWN 62444</video:title><video:description>This Kodachrome color 16mm silent home movie features footage of two elderly couples travelling through California, Arizona, and Colorado.

“Hazard House” (1954) is a short, animated public service film by the Prudential Insurance Company of America. The film warns against the everyday dangers found in the home that threaten the safety of children. The film begins with an animated sequence featuring Mrs. Hazard, who is voiced by Martha Wentworth, as she takes the viewer on a tour of her little cottage and all of the hazardous items she has around from knives and guns to open flames and rickety ladders. The film then switches to live action footage of program host Reed Hadley who introduces Dr. Harry F. Dietrich of the Beverly Hills Clinic and the Dept. of Pediatrics, UCLA Medical School. Dr. Dietrich emphasizes that home accidents kill more children than the most common diseases or even traffic accidents. As Hadley closes out the segment the film switches once more to the home of husband and wife duo played by James Brown and Randy Stuart. The parents think the film was hyperbolic so Hadley challenges them to see just how safe their home truly is. 

Mrs. Hazard answers the door of her “Hazard House” cottage and invites the viewer in to see “pretties” she has around the house (0:06). Mrs. Hazard talks through all of the “pretties” from “hand toys for manual dexterity”that include knives, guns, and an electric chair (0:14). Mrs. Hazard’s tour continues in her kitchen where stove crowded with pots that have turned out handles, house-hold poisons like ant poison, ammonia etc. on display under kitchen sink (0:35).

This educational film "Water for a Nation" dates to 1957 and shows the necessity of water in day to day life as well as how it moves and conservation efforts which were being set into place in the mid 1950’s. The film was presented by the US Department of Agriculture (:11). It opens with various images of water being used in daily life such as for drinking (:54), cooking (1:00), bathing (1:09) and for recreational fun (1:15). Water can also be a dangerous force in the environment as waves rush up and over a cliff (1:42) flooding a whole town (1:42). It can also be an aide against disaster as firefighters put out a fire with fire hoses (2:17). A hydrant is opened onto city streets (2:40). A wheat field blows in the wind as water is also used to feed our crops (2:50). Clouds drop their load of precipitation drawn up from the land (2:59). Farmer and tractor move over land to harvest crops (4:10). A young boy shares his water canteen with the farmer (4:18). Wind kicks up dirt clouds in the flat dry lands of Texas (4:36). The film turns back to the 1930’s and the dust bowl era (5:03) as the land was over used and abandoned (5:35). Farmers then covered the lands with grass in order to hold it (5:56). Cattle roll over pasture (6:00). Wheat is farmed on contour (6:07) as another conservation effort. An apple orchard is visited in Yakima Valley in Washington (6:39). This area experiences little rainfall and requires much conservation effort (6:53). Snowy mountain peaks stand far off in the distance (7:08). Eventually the peaks melt and the water turns into bubbling streams (7:18). Dams were installed to store water for power (7:39). A sprinkler system is put to use spraying large swaths of cro...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e3132972-ec69-40ca-8123-3364c6592385/74ef25f7-c0ee-42d3-95b1-186447252f79-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/u3k8MyuM9Yph9pcdCGvKq2</video:player_loc><video:duration>1122</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T14:33:12.710Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/934AWWRYB7EFCuJaQZ4tGw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5776af15-025b-4646-b30f-ed78b182fad9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“LIFE OR DEATH – EMT FIRST RESPONDERS”  1970s EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN PROMO FILM  XD71714</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This somewhat bizarre film about Emergency Medical Technicians or EMTs was produced and distributed by Film Commutators in Hollywood, California. The film dates to a time when ambulance crews were being replaced by paramedics / EMTs, who had sufficient training to make medical decisions and give on-scene care. The film makes a strong argument to decision makers in favor of upgrading from mere ambulance drivers to EMTs. The movie shows two car wrecks and rescue scenarios – one where the first responders aren’t EMTs and one where they are. The film is produced with the cooperation of the American Medical Association, Los Angeles County and City Fire Department, and Encino Hospital by Ray Jewell, with Mike Lloyd Ross as writer-director, Frederic Goodich as director of photography, Michael Castle as production manager, and Sound by Bill Leavenworth. (Note: Pittsburgh's branch of Freedom House paramedics are generally credited as the first EMT trainees in the U.S. )

This 34-minute black-and-white film is a compilation of 12 different “Soundies.” Soundies were three-minute American musical films each featuring a musical performance that were produced between 1940 and 1946. Soundies exhibited a variety of musical genres in an effort to draw a broad audience and were originally viewed in public places on "Panorams," coin-operated, 16mm rear projection machines. Several production companies filmed the Soundies shorts in New York City, Hollywood, and Chicago: James Roosevelt's Globe Productions, Cinemasters, Minoco Productions, RCM Productions, LOL Productions, Glamourettes, Filmcraft Productions, and Alexander Productions. The “Soundies” idea developed several imitations of which were the Techniprocess company and the Featurettes company. Nonetheless, these companies later disbanded and sold their programming to the Soundies concern. 

Soundies Musical: Vocalist Maurice Rocco sings “Rhumboogie" (directed by William Forest Crouch; 1943) to camera as he plays the piano in the setting of a nightclub with patrons in costume and dancing, light skin black women perform 40s-era dances to the song in voluminous dresses (0:06-2:52). 

Official Films: Jim Mercer performs as little boy in song story of Tommy Tucker’s 1939 hit “The Man that Comes Around” (1940); story depicts Mercer’s mother playing a prostitute as men come and go from their home (2:55-5:56). 

RCM Productions soundie: Sugar Kane sings “Shepherd’s Paradise” (c.1942/1943, directed by Josef Berne) to camera in flowing white nightgown, back up vocalists stand behind her in lingerie and occasionally hold up plaques with lyrics to song (5:58-9:05).

The full film can be seen elsewhere on our channel at https://youtu.be/MbplgiQZBeY

This segment shows roughly the last 10 minutes of the film, showing how the Wall Street crash of 1929, which took place on "Black Tuesday" -- October 29, 1929 -- put an exclamation point on the end of a tumultuous decade.

Henry Ford turns out his 15th million car, then celebrates by sitting in the first car he ever made (:56).  (1:23) a locomotive is shipped overseas. At (1:34), work on Europe's war debts. President Coolidge signs the Kellogg-Briand Pact, an agreement to outlaw war signed in 1928. At (2:01) the 1928 presidential race pits Al Smith  — against Herbert Hoover (2:57). People pack into Times Square on election night (3:05). Hoover wins and rides to the Capitol for the swearing in ceremony (3:41). The film shows more scenes of American revelry: beach goers enjoying sun and sand (5:09); Arthur Hammerstein, Irene Castle, and Helen Morgan enjoy coastal Florida life; spectators take in a fashion parade (6:09); people dancing the Charleston; and the bright lights of Times Square (7:12) and Broadway beckon men and women to enjoy the nightlife. However, the carefree fun crashes to an end with the collapse of Wall Street (9:13), leading to panic and the Great Depression, ending the golden playtime of the 1920s.

This film, title unknown but believed to be "Photography for Newspapers", educates high school students about how to learn photography (and in theory other topics of interest) through reading books, studying bibliographies and book reviews. In the film, an editor and a photographer of a high school newspaper learn how to do things better and more professionally. This educational film -- based on the clothes and the Speed Graphic camera shown, and the date appearing on a newspaper in the film at 1:13 -- likely dates to 1948.

These early to mid 1940s amateur / home movies come from the estate of Albert A. Binney, Sr. a long-time resident of Montecito and Los Angeles, California. In 1930, Binney co-founded Binney, Chase &amp; Van Horne, a successful insurance business that was still in operation through 2018. These home movies show various family activities but the locations and people in them are unknown. Apparently the family was fairly affluent (just to afford home movies required a certain amount of largesse) and based on their clothes and lifestyle, one can assume they were not a typical American family. This lengthy film shows the family activities from the early 1940s through the war years. Unfortunately, many of the places shown in the film are not known or identified. 

The film starts with shots in a pine or redwood forest, possibly Big Bear or another area near Los Angeles.  At 3:56, a girl (probably about 5 years old?) poses with her doll and her little brother. The girl is seen again posing with other children at 4:44. At 4:51, precious footage of a boy with a hobby horse riding around in front of the camera. Dressed as a cowboy he points a toy pistol or gun at the camera. At 5:31, girls dressed in formal dresses pose for the camera. At 5:51, a man -- possibly Albert Binney, is seen wearing an Army uniform. At 9:02, the same man drives an Army Jeep and shows it off to his kids. At 13:22 is the golden dome of the capital of Vermont in Montpelier. At 14:25, the Lincoln Memorial and the reflecting pool of the Washington Monument are seen, followed at 14:45 by images of Mt. Vernon. At 16:00, the family visits the beach. At 17:46 is an interesting segment, showing the African American / Black nurse or...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/97afeba6-5119-4803-a348-22f50b44adb4/e445fba2-cf7e-42b0-bd48-beeebb27b0fc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jJp28FGdgP6eVLJA9wYSzj</video:player_loc><video:duration>3161</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T14:45:01.624Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ujvLkJmQYdw5obkzaLc8Qm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ff15fcc8-8196-41c0-aff5-a420e87bdeda.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE WORLD IS ROUND "  1940s VIEW OF CURVATURE OF EARTH FROM OUTER SPACE  XD86925b</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Produced by Paul Thoma, this fragmentary short "The World is Round" is hosted by Ralph Berton and dates to the late 1940s. It features early footage of the upper atmosphere and space shot using a camera mounted in a rocket. The rocket used was probably a modified German V-2 that was part of "Project Blossom", a post-war U.S. effort to test and expand the capabilities of the German rockets. Blossom took place at White Sands under direction of the Air Material Command starting in 1947. At (1:05) footage is shown from the tail of the rocket during the flight, that shows the curvature of the Earth.

This documentary film shows the Winter Olympics of 1948 held in St. Moritz, Switzerland. These were the first games to be celebrated after the Second World War. Switzerland was chosen as a neutral country in order to soothe the political atmosphere of the post war world. One of the major issues presenting this Olympics game was that much of the country’s human and financial resources had been depleted during the war effort. The film was written and directed by Hans Thorner (:16). It opens with skiers running down a snowy slope (:23). The Alps rise covered in frosty snow (1:13) near the host town. The Olympic torch burns (2:12). The flags of 28 participating nations wave (2:45). The hockey game opens (3:20). The American team face the Swiss (3:27). The Swiss take the win of the first game (4:42). Crowds light up as a goal is hit (4:37). The Canadians take a turn against the Swiss team (5:02). Canada wins (5:42) putting Czechoslovakia in second and the Swiss in third (5:42). A rider takes a close call in the finals of the bobsleigh race (6:54). Spectators rush over to investigate (7:04). An American athlete took second (7:21) and the Italian athlete takes the win (7:38). The 18 kilometer cross country ski begins (8:06). The teams from Finland and Sweden were leading contenders for this event (8:22). Skiers bump down a slope over an 11 mile long track (8:40). The athlete from Finland takes fourth place (9:03). The race ends after an hour and thirteen minutes (10:07). Martin Lundstrom of Sweden takes the win (10:13). Another Swedish athlete places as nearly all fifteen medals were won by Sweden, Norway or Finland (10:53). Two skiers, a Swedish man and Swiss raced side by side (12:23) down the final...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/eb0e7dc1-33e2-4756-9ebf-924e4a8911f0/0ce3b719-be1b-4afe-ac24-c9db9f4b38b1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/v2uLipVmCuo66UXw17PQDo</video:player_loc><video:duration>1519</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T14:47:55.327Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6nw2P7c7TWc9mhmnJR5fDA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1a2b6083-fb7a-4acb-826b-9576f7216d79.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s BINNEY FAMILY HOME MOVIES   LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA   YOUNG KIDS AT PLAY   XD82645</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

You will also see their beautiful Tudor style home, which was equipped with a long driveway and a private tennis court (3:43). At (12:06) a blimp is visible in the distance. At (13:37) the boy is shown riding his toy fire engine and at (14:16) on his tricycle. We suspect this footage is from Pasadena but don't know for sure.

The portion at 1:25, which has noticeable vertical lines evident, was actually shot with Kodacolor film. This was an early color stock that relied on lenticular reproduction of the color by using a special red green and blue filter; here it appears in black and white.

This film shows what must be the first year or two in the life of Binney's son, Albert A. Binney, Jr., who was born in the early 1930s. The film shows the toddler being pushed in a beautiful perambulator (:43), being held by his father (1:15), playing with a rattle (2:33), the family home (2:52) possibly in Montecito or Pasadena, as well as a host of relatives and Albert Jr's friendly teddy bear (5:42). At (6:43) there is an amusing segment with the older Binney serving tea to his wife. At (8:42) the young boy is shown with his Taylor-Tot baby stroller/walker. At (9:49) he is fed. At (10:13) there is a segment shot at a private beach club with a large sign reading, "Private Beach and Pier". The film concludes with shots of the boy enjoying a day at the beach (or it might be a large lake or swimming hole).

It was photographed in 1938 by Amos Burg and described by Paul Douglas. 

Haldane "Buzz" Holmstrom (1909–1946) was a pioneer of running the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. He was the first person to float all the way from Green River, Wyoming to Boulder Dam solo. He built his own rowboats, often of his own design, to run whitewater rivers.

Born on May 10, 1909, in southern Oregon, Holmstrom was raised in Coquille, Oregon. Buzz's father worked as a logger and died when Buzz was twenty. As a young man, he worked in a filling station. He began building his flat-bottomed boats in 1934, running the Rogue River in southwest Oregon. He ran the Rogue again in 1935 and the Main Salmon in Idaho in 1936. On October 25, 1937, he began his most famous feat, his solo run of the Colorado from Green River, Wyoming, down through Cataract Canyon, Glen Canyon, and the Grand Canyon. At the end of his run through the Grand Canyon, the motorboats refused to give him a tow across Lake Mead, so he rowed the distance in four and a half days. Symbolically, he touched the newly built Boulder Dam with his boat at the end of his journey on November 20. However, Colorado River historian Otis "Dock" Marston wrote that he actually went to the base of the dam at the end of his following trip. The second trip in 1938 included Amos Burg and Willis Johnson. This trip was captured in Burg's short movie, "Conquering the Colorado". Buzz received no financial gain from the film.

Despite the ground-breaking nature of Holmstrom's feat, his river-running was characterized not by bravado, but by humility and awe at his surroundings.

When the United States entered World War II, Holmstrom enlisted in the Navy, where he served in the European Theater and Kiriwina Island in the South Pacific.

These home movies come from the estate of Albert A. Binney, Sr. a long-time resident of Montecito and Los Angeles, California. In 1930, Binney co-founded Binney, Chase &amp; Van Horne, a successful insurance business that was still in operation through 2018. These home movies show various family activities but the locations and people in them are unknown. Apparently the family was fairly affluent (just to afford home movies required a certain amount of largesse) and based on their clothes and lifestyle, one can assume they were not a typical American family from the period which, of course, is considered part of the Depression. 

This particular film dates to the mid to late 1930s and consists of two parts. The first part focuses on the family's young children and is shot in black and white; the second part starting at (3:23) is early Kodachrome color and shows snow play, including skiing and at (5:18) sledding down a track. The car at (3:40) looks to be a 1934 Dodge 6 Sedan. At (6:17) the children are seen once again. The young girl carries an antique porcelain doll. At (6:41) is a panning shot of a street, presumably in Pasadena or Los Angeles. It might be on Van Ness Avenue, where the Binney family had a house at one time. At (7:09) the young girl seen earlier in the film is seen surrounded by geese, and behind her is a spectacular art deco fountain with what appear to be flamingos spouting water skyward. The film ends with a spectacular Kodak animated logo, put on by the lab that developed this home movie.

NOTE: This episode is sub-standard, as our print had badly deteriorated to the point that it was almost not scannable. Please bear with the problems as it's a wonderful show. 

"Flight" was a short-lived TV series that debuted in 1958 and only lasted one year. Hosted by Gen. George C. Kenney, the program focused on dramatic tellings of stories from the chronicles of the U.S. Air Force. Production company California National also produced "The Silent Service" which profiled the Navy's submariners, and "Navy Log". This particular episode, "Decision" tells the story of September, 1943 and the aerial component of the Allied assault on the Japanese base of Lae. The commanding officer involved in planning the invasion, comes up with the idea to make the invasion when the area is fogged in, so as to deprive the Japanese of air cover. But will it work?

This episode was written by Jack Laird from a story  by General George C. Kenney and directed by Jean Yarborough. The cast includes Nelson Leigh, Alvy Moore, Robin Hughes, George C. Kenney (as General George C. Kenney, host of the show), James Hong, Ashley Cowan and Joseph Sargent. Cinematography by Archie R. Dalzel and editing by Henry DeMond. 

The Landing at Lae was an amphibious landing to the east of Lae and then the subsequent advance on the town during the Salamaua–Lae campaign of World War II. Part of Operation Postern, which was undertaken to capture the Japanese base at Lae, the landing was undertaken between 4 and 6 September 1943 by Australian troops from the 9th Division, supported by US naval forces from the VII Amphibious Force. The first major amphibious operation undertaken by the Aus...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bccd7aea-0d7c-4b57-94a7-44dc47c77e46/9362c838-3929-4eb8-b1fa-84a9d622be79-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pjdPN4EKvttd12FNwuediU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1541</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T15:16:50.423Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/umquZY9MBQURkfaS7h3Yix</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bd242117-e20e-4c16-8858-2f7763bd29c9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ELECTRONIC COMPUTERS IMPROVE MANAGEMENT CONTROL” 1957 COMPUTER SCIENCE ANIMATED FILM XD66214</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1970s Soviet film "Nuclear Energy for Peaceful Purposes" looks at the different peaceful applications of nuclear energy. It shows some of the pioneers of Soviet nuclear research and footage from nuclear power plants across the country. It contrasts footage of brightly lit cities in the USSR with people in the West pushing their cars during the oil crisis to highlight that this is the energy of the future. It also features some advancements in nuclear research, such as plasma and laser reactors. The film ends by showing protests around the world against nuclear weapons and by stressing that the USSR only wants to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, unlike the US who militarize it (ha ha).

This educational film produced by the Ministry of Education of the USSR looks at the different applications of nuclear technology. (Ironically, it appears to have been released the same year as the Chernobyl disaster!)  The film begins with a look at different types of nuclear reactors, including experimental ones like plasma reactors. This is followed by other applications such as in nuclear bombs or to power ships. The end of the film seeks to show the USSR pursues peaceful nuclear research, by contrasting footage of the US bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with peace protests in the USSR and Warsaw Pact countries.

This short film "How to Read a Newspaper" (1954) was created as an educational tool to teach the public how to read newspapers properly. It features an actor playing the role of a young college student named Bill Brant. It was created by Coronet Films; a prominent producer and distributor of educational films during the 1940’s through to the 1980’s. The film was apparently shot outside of Chicago, Illinois and the newspaper featured is the Waukegan News-Sun, which later became the Lake County News-Sun.

 It opens with images of an ink press pummeling out sheets of newspaper (:15) at a busy news room (:19). A late night paper delivery is unloaded for distribution (:28) and sent up the conveyor belt (:48). Bill arrives homes scooping a rolled paper from his front lawn (:57). He opens the evening paper (1:11) casually dropping it after scanning the sports and comics section. He openly states his disinterest in the rest of the paper as the narrator prompts the boy to read further (2:13). Here Bill notices an article which directly affects him about a planned new stadium (2:19). Bill begins to read through the rest of the issue (2:48) scanning over broad headlines. The larger the headline the more important the news (2:59). Bill learns to scan across to the left and down and across to the left again (3:24). As he reads the rest of the story about the school board’s decision on a new stadium (4:38) he notices the headlines do not deliver the full story. The first paragraph; known as the lead, is designed to present the most important facts (4:58). It answers the questions of who, what, when, where, how and sometimes why. The lead is pointed out on the paper (5:55). The student decides to read the pap...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e44a1c4c-f4c3-4f8c-a35e-a581ee49a12d/5a4fa0ac-7bf6-4191-8ae7-2260c97d6684-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uc2GuZXGqhR2hqkZCV6UkX</video:player_loc><video:duration>624</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T15:22:19.090Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/i7Hzrxff3tBoCZDFFRBocG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6bb3a486-d882-4312-98cd-7355145e533f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ VIDEO TAPE EDITING ” 1960s BBC TELEVISION   TECHNICAL TRAINING FILM  AUDIO &amp; VIDEO TAPE XD60154</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1960s BBC Television training film looks at different ways of editing video tapes. It begins with a simple introduction to a video tape recorder and how the vision and sound heads are not congruent on film. This is followed by different means of overcoming the sound advance problem while editing, including cutting while there are fades, how to cut films properly when this is not the case, and electronic editing. A variety of vintage equipment is shown, including what appears to be an Ampex VR2000 Quad machine. (EMI tape stock is shown in use in the film; from the 1950s to 1981 EMI produced magnetic tape and sold them both as blank tapes and prerecorded tapes in a large number of formats.) One eerie note about this film, is that video tape was expensive back in the early era, and as a result the BBC often re-used videotapes; this resulted in the loss of a substantial portion of the BBC's shows from 1967 and 1978.

A radio telescope is a specialized antenna and radio receiver used to detect radio waves from astronomical radio sources in the sky. Radio telescopes are the main observing instrument used in radio astronomy, which studies the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum emitted by astronomical objects, just as optical telescopes are the main observing instrument used in traditional optical astronomy which studies the light wave portion of the spectrum coming from astronomical objects. Unlike optical telescopes, radio telescopes can be used in the daytime as well as at night.

Since astronomical radio sources such as planets, stars, nebulas and galaxies are very far away, the radio waves coming from them are extremely weak, so radio telescopes require very large antennas to collect enough radio energy to study them, and extremel...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/21210e5e-35b4-4add-9a53-3ecc375eaadc/a2d10598-f98c-4fb7-83d8-ec07df87dab8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/56gSFMiDS8ZUQJbaYoarH7</video:player_loc><video:duration>316</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T15:32:19.019Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gXwsJRqs7CiPEEpHzAqtnT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ae80a5ca-3561-4ad6-a198-f62d8e40e981.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“NATURAL GAS” 1930 NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION AND PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTARY 91494</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1966 New York State Water Resources Commission film presents New York State’s plans for better water resource management. It begins by introducing NYs different water resources on a map and with live footage. This is followed by work that is being done including flood protection, pollution prevention, reservoir construction, and prevention of water waste. It stresses the importance of water resource management for public well-being, by providing protection from flooding, and opening up economic and recreational opportunities.  Official synopsis: The state is New York. The threats were basic -- stream pollution, lake degradation, spoilage of coastal waters, drought, flooding, misuse of related land resources. They affected municipal, industrial and agricultural supplies, fish and wildlife habitats, recreational use and aesthetic enjoyment. The problems began locally but were spreading and multiplying across the state.  Expedient but uncoordinated programs by many agencies sometimes alleviated immediate problems without providing long range solutions. New York's imaginative answer is based on its Comprehensive Water Resources Program -- actually a carefully-devised group of complementary programs -- anchored in local community initiative, but with centralized, statewide coordination of planning and action at every level -- local, state and federal.

The first shows footage of the Lafayette Escadrille, an escadrille of the French Air Service, the Aéronautique Militaire, during World War I composed largely of American volunteer pilots flying fighters. It was named in honor of the Marquis de Lafayette, hero of the American and French revolutions. The footage was shot at the base at Luxeuil, not far from the French border with Switzerland. The second film shows Billy Mitchell bombing warships. This shows events of 1923, when two surplus navy battleships were bombed and sunk by aircraft under the command of Brig. Gen. William "Billy" Mitchell off Cape Hatteras to determine the effectiveness of air power against heavy surface ships.  The target vessels, which were to be scrapped under postwar naval limitation treaties, were the 14,949-ton New Jersey and Virginia, built between 1902 and 1906 at a cost of $6 million each and anchored 18 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras.

This silent, tinted film "The Little Knight" is one of the episodes of a planned series of twelve, two-reel pictures entitled "The Strange Adventures of Prince Courageous" aka "The Adventures of Prince Courageous." Only three of the twelve films ended up being produced: "The Little Knight", "The Love Charm" (aka "The Little Defender") and "The Crown of Courage". All were produced in 1923 and star Bessie Love and five-year-old Arthur Trimble, and were directed Frederick G. Becker.  The films re-used sets and costumes from Douglas Fairbanks in Robin Hood (1922).
 
In "The Little Knight", a knight named Prince Courageous (William Butts) kills the giant son of witch Bwump, and the witch (Roy Coulson) retaliates by turning the knight into a little boy (Trimble). One day, King Lagg ("Boots" Fabing) encounters the little knight in the forest, and invites him back to his castle, where the knight falls in love with the king's daughter Beatrice (Doreen Turner), who is to marry Duke Craven (Monte Collins). The little knight saves princess from abduction, and the witch's spell is broken by the king's magicians.

This version of "The Little Knight" was released by Cine-Art Productions of Hollywood, and sold through magazine ads in 1927 for $30 a print. The ad text stated "A wonderful story in glorious settings of old world splendor." 

Bessie Love (born Juanita Horton; September 10, 1898 – April 26, 1986) was an American-British actress who achieved prominence playing innocent, young girls and wholesome leading ladies in silent and early sound films. Her acting career spanned nearly seven decades—from silent film to sound film, including theatre, radio, and television—and her performance in The Br...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8c14c91b-23e6-4935-a02f-88469023525c/c6c209e5-dd13-4c06-804d-8a82f6f9e1bb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iigSQDWhUBMdPDx1cMVGCu</video:player_loc><video:duration>895</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T15:36:20.049Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fX5bWtmQ4GC4coWxwqkd3B</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d992d082-25df-43b6-94db-688b1fb07c4b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“A MAN WITH A PROBLEM”   1967 PROBLEM DRINKING &amp; ALCOHOLISM TREATMENT DOCUMENTARY   XD80935</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This Shell Film from 1953, "Oil The Invisible Traveler" looks at how petroleum is brought from producing regions to the market. It starts with the challenges of oil transportation, notably that it is a lot harder to transport a liquid. This is followed by a short history of oil transportation including barrels, carts, and floats, and how these eventually evolved into tanker cars on trains, tanker trucks, ocean tankers, and pipelines. Then the US pipeline system is explained as well as how oil is transported in an example case from Texas to New York. It ends with all the benefits that oil products bring to daily life.

Columbus as a young boy plays with his brother in Genoa. The film shows the sea port of the Italian republic. In a store, Columbus talks with a merchant sailor. Other merchants talk to Columbus about sailing the world. As a young man, Columbus charts a course to the west on a map (03:28). Columbus and his brother Bartholomew discuss sailing to Cathay via a westward route. King John II of Portugal reclines while eating fruit as he tells Columbus he’s not interested in financing the expedition (05:50). Columbus sits with his son just off a dirt road when he is greeted by a Spanish friar. Viewers see a Spanish mission (07:51); inside, Columbus talks with the friar. The film shows what appears to be a Spanish cathedral, presumably one in Aragon (08:28). King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile listen to Columbus and the Treasurer of Aragon petition for support for the voyage. A Spanish soldier rides up on a horse to stop Columbus as he walks to France (11:07). The film shows Columbus overseeing the construction of a ship. A ship (presumably the carrack Santa Maria) is out at sea (13:04). On deck members of the crew sit around a fire. Columbus and his men celebrate the sighting of land (14:30). They go ashore in a small boat with the standards of Ferdinand and Isabella. The Spanish sailors meet with the indigenous people of the island Columbus names San Salvador, concluding the film.

Christopher Columbus (before 31 October 1451 – 20 May 1506) was an Italian explorer, navigator, and colonist who completed four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean under the auspices of the Catholic Monarchs of Spain. He led the first European expeditions to the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, initiating the permanent European colonization of the Americas.

The film was probably made to show how the location of the visor controls on the then-new flight helmets would not interfere with or accidentally trigger an ejection. 

The film begins with a naval aviator and/or test pilot conferring with a lieutenant, and showing off an APH-6A or APH-6 helmet, with its single, center-deployed visor. The aviator is wearing an APH-6B -- which can include two or in some cases even three different visors inside the helmet. These were typically dark and light / anti-glare. (The double visor version was sometimes called the "ramshorn" version because of its protruding knobs) At 4:48 the aviator, now wearing the APH-6A, demonstrates how to deploy the face shield for seat ejection. It is demonstrated that the deployment of the helmet shields in no way would interfere with the operation of the ejection seat, which was possibly the point of this short film. 

The APH series of helmets debuted in the late 1950s, and featured visors which were protected from dirt and scratching by a protective shield. These helmets also features improved communications, liners, and newly designed mask retainers.  These types of helmets became the U.S. Navy and USMC standard jet aircraft headgear during the 60's and throughout the 70's. They were produced by Gentex and Sierra.

On the night of October 4, 1963, an Atlas 45F missile launch was attempted at Vandenberg Air Force Base's pad 576-G in California. The launch ended in a spectacular failure when Missile 45F suffered a stuck engine valve during the test,, preventing B-2 engine start. The missile tipped over and exploded on impact with the ground. This was the first of two similar failures, as a second occurred in Spring of 1964. Investigation of the two failures found that hardened hypergolic propellant residue had been responsible for the stuck valves on both Atlas vehicles. It had accumulated from repeated test firings.

This short, silent film shows the U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado, and was probably shot shortly after the campus opened to the public in 1958. The Academy was established April 1, 1954, the culmination of an idea years in the making. Airpower leaders, long before the Air Force was a separate service, argued that they needed a school dedicated to war in the air, to train Airmen. Construction was completed in 1958 and the first moved into Academy housing that year, with accreditation following soon after. The first class of the Academy graduated and was commissioned in June, 1959. (It may be that the celebration shown at the end of the film is the first graduating class.)

The campus covers 18,455 acres (29 sq mi; 75 km2) on the east side of the Rampart Range of the Rocky Mountains, just north of Colorado Springs. Its elevation is normally given as 7,258 feet (2,212 m) above sea level, which is at the cadet area. The academy was designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) and lead architect Walter Netsch. SOM partner John O. Merrill moved from Chicago to a Colorado Springs field office to oversee the construction and to act as a spokesman for the project.

The most controversial aspect of the SOM-designed Air Force Academy was its chapel. It was designed by SOM architect Walter Netsch, who at one point was prepared to abandon the design; but the accordion-like structure is acknowledged as an iconic symbol of the academy campus.

His work begins while most of the town sleeps (2:29). A postal clerk performs his duties even earlier than the mailman (2:33). Clerks sort mail for their designated routes (2:39). The mailman then works to sort his mail (2:43). The camera highlights the sorting case which mailmen use (2:58). A letter for someone whom is no longer on the mailman’s route is adjusted so the sender may know of the residence’s new address (3:18). A registered letter needs special attention (3:30). Anyone who handles the registered mail must sign for it (3:41). Mr. Nelson picks up a key which will unlock all the boxes along his route (3:55). He must also sort through newspapers and magazines which are to be delivered along the route (4:10). Parcels are loaded into relay sacks (4:30). He loads bundles which are to be delivered during the first part of his route (4:48). Much of this work must be completed prior to 8:30 am (4:57). He heads for his route (5:04) and moves from home to home (5:17).

This 1965 film (a revision to an earlier film) "Our Post Office" is presented by Encyclopedia Britannica films (:11). The feature shows the many benefits of the United States post office and how mail moves. EB Films was a major producer and distributor of educational films for school and library use during the 1940’s through to the 1990’s. The film opens as two children named Susan and Jimmy address a letter (:33) to order a gift for their mother’s birthday. They are ordering through a mail order catalogue (:43). Susan shows Jimmy how to properly address a letter (1:05). The zip codes on both addresses are noted (1:22). The catalogue asks for money order or check (1:37). Susan travels to the post office in Evanston to retrieve a money order (1:41). The girl meets with the post office clerk to purchase a money order (1:54). The postal money order is zoomed in on (2:02). Jimmy purchases stamps for the letter (2:12). The clerk then instructs Susan to write the name of the company (2:29). The seal for the Post Office Department of the United States (2:44) appears. Each town houses a post office (2:52). The children ensure the letter is ready to mail with the money order set inside (3:08). Jimmy tosses the letter into the ‘out of town letters’ slot (3:24). The camera pans to the other side of the slot as letters are collected (3:31) to be mailed out. Letters are taken to a sorting table (3:35). Mail can be shipped by truck or air mail (3:44). An eight cent US Air Mail stamp is highlighted to show the increased cost for rapid transit (3:48). Air Mail letters are set together (3:52). A letter designated for special delivery follows (3:52). These are also set together separately (3:59).

This 1961 educational film, produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films, looks at the training and duties of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). It starts with the footage of the arduous training that they go through including drills, martial arts, and horse riding. This is followed by some of the tasks that fall under the Mounties’ mandate including “routine” police work, interacting with local and indigenous communities, naval patrols, arresting drug dealers, dog training, and border patrol activities. The film highlights the wide range of activities that fall under the purview of the Mounties, the extent of which is relatively unusual for a police force.

This campy 1957 McGraw-Hill Text film (so-called because it accompanied a series of textbooks) in the Adolescent Development Series looks at how teenagers should be disciplined. It portrays a family with an older teenage son who comes and goes from the house as he pleases. The mother proposes letting him be and treating him as an adult, which does not work. The father grounds him, which humiliates him and causes him to stop speaking to his family. The message of the film is that there is a need for a middle ground between extremes, that take the teenagers' feelings into account.

"Southern Chile Tip of a Continent" is a short, 1948 film about the life and agriculture of the southernmost part of South America. It was made by Hollywood Film Enterprises Inc. The film follows a steamer that sails from Puerto Montt, through the Strait of Magellan, to the city of Punta Arenas. Punta Arenas, an important stop for ships sailing to the West Coast of the US before the opening of the Panama Canal, is shown in a state of relative decay. The film highlights this steamer service as essential, because it is the only connection to the outside world. The film also features stunning aerial footage of islands in the Tierra del Fuego.

“The Diesel Trail to the Orient” (1935) is a black and white promotional film for Caterpillar Tractor Co - “the world’s largest manufacturer of diesel engines, track-type tractors, and road machinery.” The film follows the journey of some Caterpillar tractors and diesel generators chartered by Pan American Airways to help complete five air bases for a new plane service to the “orient” that passes by Far Away, Midway, and Wake Islands. The film highlights the journey of Pan Am’s China Clipper servicing tourists in Honolulu before stopping by air bases in Midway and Wake Island before completing the journey in Manila.

“Around the World Newsreel” (c.1924) is a silent, black-and-white newsreel film chronicling the first circumnavigation of the globe by air, which was achieved in 1924 by a team of aviators from the U.S. Army Air Service. The trip began April 6th, 1924 in Seattle, Washington, lasted 175 days, covered approximately 27,000 miles, and included landings in 22 different countries. The United States Army Air Service commissioned the Douglas Aircraft Company to design and build its Douglas World Cruiser (DWC) for the first flight around the world. Because the flight would take place over land and water, the aircraft featured interchangeable floats and wheels. The Boeing Co. modified the aircraft for the attempt. Four aircraft, each named after a city in the U.S.—Seattle, Chicago, Boston and New Orleans, began the record attempt. Of the original four, only two completed the 27,553-mile journey back to the starting point. (The "Seattle" was destroyed in a crash, and "Boston" sank after being forced down in the sea by a mechanical failure.)

“The Thread of Life” dates to 1960 and was part of the Bell Science Series of films. The film is about heredity, genetics, DNA and how it works. The screenplay was by Rowland Barber, a writer perhaps best known for the 1960 novel The Night They Raided Minsky's. Owen Crump directed; Robert McKimson directed the animation. The film begins with the early discoveries in genetic made by Gregor Mendel with pea plants. This is followed by an introduction to the chromosome, with animations of how chromosomes in sperm and egg cells combine to for an embryo. The program features a “studio audience” comprising of different people on monitors, which ask Dr. Baxter questions that he answers.

The screenplay was by Rowland Barber, a writer perhaps best known for the 1960 novel The Night They Raided Minsky's. Owen Crump directed; Robert McKimson directed the animation. This part of the show discusses natural and artificial mutations in genes and how these mutations can have positive and negative effects. This is shown particularly through how cells exposed to radiation reproduce. This is followed by an explanation of the discovery of DNA, which Dr. Baxter shows in detail with a model and animations of how DNA reproduces.

Art Baker; American film, television and radio actor, hosts an episode of “You Asked for It.” This was a human interest television series running from 1950 to 1959. In the series, viewers were asked to send in postcards dictating what they wished to see on the episode. This episode shows a U.S. Coast Guard rescue mission in action. It opens with a hand pumping out an SOS signal in Morse code (:09). Morse code has been used for maritime communication all the way up until 1999. It has since been retired from international maritime regulations. The hangar from the USGC station appears (:25). Art Baker (:33) informs viewers the episode will show the tale of a pilot downed at sea. An advertisement for Skippy Peanut Butter (:47) appears followed by a request from a woman named Mrs. Fred Nugent from Del Mar California. The host reads her letter about her husband Lieutenant F.C. Nugent of the Navy (:53). He was forced to bail out from his jet over the coast of California. He received rapid response from the USCG rescue service in San Diego (1:02). Two docked USCG boats appear (1:10). Other vehicles a part of this rescue mission include the Sikorsky HO4S-3 (1:13), the Grumman UF-1G/2G (1:15) and the Martin PBM Mariner (1:18).

This short film released by the William J. Ganz Co. of New York was one of a series of films made for "toy" 16mm film projectors. These toy projectors were equipped with standard light bulbs and could be used by children without much risk of accident, as they didn't generate high heat. The film starts with footage of anti-aircraft guns being exercised at Fort Tilden, New York. Barrage balloons are evident in the sky. At 1:20, a dirigible or zeppelin is visible. At 1:37, a large optical rangefinder is used to adjust fire at the "enemy planes". At 2:24, tanks are seen silhouetted against star shells and incendiary bombs. The film ends with an aerial shot of the battlefield.

The silent film “Breaking in on Brake Prosperity” from 1933 promotes Raybestos Automobile Brake Company, which was founded by Arthur H. Raymond and Arthur F. Law in 1902. In 1906 Law and Raymond invented the woven brake lining, which became an important innovation in automobile brakes. The purpose of the film was to promote their products, their brake service stations and to approach prospective job candidates, and it shows scenes from service stations and the entire production process of the woven asbestos lining. Asbestos was later identified as a carcinogen and in 1993 were removed from the market due to health concerns for those that perform brake-related automotive repair or maintenance.  (Note: this is a silent version of a sound film; in other words our version has no soundtrack even though the "RCA Photophone System" is referenced in the credits.)

Created by the United States Information Agency in 1961, this Cold War propaganda film "Barbed Wire World" is hosted by Dwight Weist. It examines the start of the construction of the Berlin Wall, and was part of a special effort by the USIA to focus the West's attention on the new barrier. The film was also accompanied by a photographic exhibition when originally released. "Barbed Wire World" begins with two famous scenes, one of a West German woman crying while looking at her relative across the barbed wire in East Berlin, and East German Border Guard Hans Konrad Schumann escaping to West Berlin by jumping across the wire. Dwight Weist gives a short historical introduction to Berlin’s status as a divided city. This is followed by contrasting shots of happy people in West Berlin and unhappy East Germans that are fleeing in the thousands. It ends with a speech by Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson reassuring the USA's commitment to the people of West Berlin.

This newly-discovered, silent, color World War II-era film contains never-before-seen footage of President Franklin D. Roosevelt as he observes training drills and meets with decorated officers, as well as shots of soldiers training in how to operate artillery from the WWII Browning 1919A4 .30 caliber light machine gun to M3A1 37mm anti-tank gun.  We strongly suspect the film actually dates to Sept. 25, 1942, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt visited Camp Pendleton as part of a 12,000-mile military inspection trip and dedicated the new base, which was to be the Marine Corps' largest West Coast training facility.  During World War II, Camp Pendleton was home to numerous training schools for landing craft, amphibious vehicles and communication, beach battalions, and medical field services.  The other possibility is that this film dates to FDR's visit to San Diego July 19-21, 1944. During that trip FDR accepted the nomination for a fourth term as President -- he was speaking to an audience at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago from the presidential train car, parked at the Marine Corps base in San Diego.

This silent, color World War II-era film combines a myriad of footage taken perhaps along the coast of California near Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in California and is the third film in a series of home movies documenting military exercises. The footage mainly features amphibious exercises carried out by perhaps members of the Signal Corps as they practice loading and unloading in LCVPs, Morse code, setting up a base for field operations, and scanning the sandy beaches for land mines.  We suspect this film dates to around Sept. 25, 1942, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt visited Camp Pendleton as part of a 12,000-mile military inspection trip and dedicated the new base, which was to be the Marine Corps' largest West Coast training facility. At that time a landing exercise such as the one shown in the film was conducted. 

POV from landing ship as it approaches shore of rocky coastline, soldiers already onshore (0:08). Perhaps USS LSM-201 landing ship pulls to shore, perhaps LVT-4s drive along sand (0:20).

Weather changes - Soldiers with various construction tools in hand load onto LCVP, view of LCVP filled with black helmets, aerial view as LCVP approaches ship, soldiers scale side of ship by climbing net ladder while holding artillery like M1 Bazooka, perhaps M1 Garand strapped to packs (1:18-4:38). Perhaps Willys MB WWII Military Jeep hoisted onto ship with crane; More soldiers continue to scale side of ship (4:41). Perhaps Rear Admiral Davis wears khaki uniform, binoculars around neck as he observes drill (5:36).

This 1958 training film presented by the United States Army shows footage from a Soviet Army training film called “Soviet Army Assault on Fortifications” produced in Russia during World War II. It demonstrates Red Army tactics, weapons, and combat techniques used in overcoming enemy fortified positions. Narration in Russian is followed by explanations of Soviet tactics in English. Presumably the film was created to educate American forces in Europe about Soviet concepts of combat assault.

The film begins with an aerial diagram of a village (1:40) defended by a ring of pillboxes (dug-in blockhouses) and communication trenches, in line with Soviet military doctrine. After testing the area’s defenses with airstrikes, strong points are plotted and the area is mapped (2:24). The village’s defense perimeter, made of earth and timber strong points, is shown (2:48). Soviets fire artillery from a pillbox (3:17). A special assault team hides in a trench (3:30) and puts together de-mining kits. Obstacle-clearing groups and shock groups of men make their way through trenches. A diagram shows a soldier on his stomach raising a rifle to fire, using a concealed route of approach (4:50). Soldiers army crawl on their stomachs through tall grass; the narration says Communist groups in Korea and Indochina were well-trained in approaching strong points (4:56). Soldiers cut barbed wire (5:41). Soviets fire a 76-millimeter regimental gun (5:53); a soldier throws a grenade for smoke cover (7:11). A soldier uses a ROKS 3 flamethrower (7:48). The film explains that sometimes the Soviets dig assault trenches to provide protection when approaching enemy lines; a soldier throws a grenade from a trench (8:30); t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c42951cc-41fb-4164-b7e7-215a7867f4ad/d34ab6b6-1931-42b5-a858-84928a79f5fc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qdVE2sY6RtChZ6kgGnxPEe</video:player_loc><video:duration>1502</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T16:53:28.163Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oHBnqa1dRPfSvfsv8v2wA7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e876dc90-47e1-4cf5-bd0a-f5b4fce97650.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" OVERVIEW OF 8MM PRODUCTION ”  1973 SUPER 8MM FILMMAKING PROMOTIONAL FILM    94814</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This home movie likely dates to the late 1930s or early 1940s, and takes the viewer on a tour of Guatemala. The footage begins at the grass covered ruins of the once thriving capital of Utatlán (Qʼumarkaj) before transitioning to scenes of village and city life from the San Francisco El Alto Friday Market to San Mateo Ixtatán. The film then goes on to feature shots from the “The Rio Dulce Trip” - a journey by bus, train, and boat beginning at an elevation of 4281 ft and ending at sea level across mountains, swampy lowlands, the Rio Polochic, Lake Izabal, and Rio Dulce. 

Film opens, text explaining history of Utatlán - once capital of K'iche' Maya people (0:08). Ruins of Utatlán (0:20). Man and woman stand at ivy covered entrance to ancient passageway leading to Totonicapán (0:31).

This brief educational film was created by Florence Avalon Daggett. Daggett was an American filmmaker and philanthropist associated with Avalon Daggett Films based out of Los Angeles. Some of her work has been honored at the Cannes Film Festival. Most of the films are considered to be historical; however some of the “facts” about Native Americans have proven to be incorrect. Much of this feature focuses on the Havasupai Tribe. The Havasupai are a prominent tribe of the Grand Canyon whom have remained on the land for nearly a thousand years. The tribe name means “blue-green water people.” 

The film opens with the US flag (:27) as a car rolls through Northern Arizona. Viewers are led to the entrance to Grand Canyon National Park (:31). A wide view overlooking the peak into the canyon shows the village of Supai (:49). This area is only reachable by donkey or horse (1:09). Tourists move down the canyon (1:13). The waters of Havasu Creek appear (1:38). Two pentacles formed at the entrance to the valley (2:16). Two additional pentacles known as the ‘Old Man’ and the ‘Old Woman’ follow (2:22). The main street of Supai is lined with cotton woods (2:43). Goods are loaded into travelers’ saddlebags for the journey (2:52). The camera pans over the faces of the Havasupai people (3:19). The small church within the town is a Quonset hut (3:34). This had to be lowered by chopper into the town (3:34). The bells of a white school tower ring out (3:55). The Havasupai are considered to be an agricultural people. They were attracted to this land due to it’s fertility (4:10). Creek waters are drawn up for irrigation (4:32). Deep round holes had been dug by some of the earliest Native Americans (4:48).

This travelogue / educational film by Coronet "Modern Hawaii" shows the Territory of Hawaii (:08). Coronet was a leading producer in educational films from the 1940’s through to the 1990’s. Hawaii finally achieved statehood roughly 10 years after this 1948 film was made -- in 1959.  At the time of this film’s creation, Hawaii was still considered a US territory as it had been since 1900. 

The film opens with images of the Hawaii’s mountainous coast (:33). A map notes the location of Hawaii; the great center of shipping lanes (:48). As air travel became more and more prevalent, Hawaii became increasingly more so important due to it’s location (1:01). An aerial shot is presented of the chain of the archipelago of islands (1:31). These are known as Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui and Hawaii; all of which were formed by volcanoes. Mount Aloha erupts every nine years (1:51). Waters wash up and over volcanic rock (2:08). These are gradually pulverized into sand (2:16). The lava decomposes into rich soil (2:26). Fertile soil and tropical climate make the island highly productive (2:32). Small farms are scattered over the land (2:39). Tropical and semi tropical crops are grown including taro rice and corn (2:42). Banana trees hang about (2:47). Sugar cane is a valuable crop (2:52). The sugar cane industry began here in the early 19th century through European settlers (3:00). Cane farmers mostly work on the tropical lowlands bordering the coastline (3:09). The farmers are shown to use mainly hand tools (3:22). Many of the workers were brought to Hawaii from other countries such as Asia (3:32) and the Philippines (3:36). Mature crops are burned (3:50). Stalks are harvested using sharp knives (3:56).

This film from 1958 (we are unsure of the title as it is missing) is a pro-Israel documentary depicting the 10-year anniversary of the founding of the modern State of Israel. The film was produced and directed by Joel J. Breit, who also produced similar pro-Israel films throughout the 1950s. This film portrays a somewhat controversial aspect of modern history emphasizing the Jewish claimed right to the land of Palestine through their religious heritage.

GEORGE &amp; SOMERSET  SS MONARCH OF BERMUDA 44364</video:title><video:description>This home movie film was made by someone on vacation to Bermuda. It includes street views from some of the towns in Bermuda, including Hamilton, St George, and Somerset. The film mainly focuses on the scenery, including beaches, vegetation, and animals during a zoo visit. There is also a short scene labelled as displaying a “Native School”, highlighting the still widespread segregation in Bermuda at the time.  The film appears to date to the late 1930s or early 40s; the Monarch of Bermuda ocean liner shown in the film was named that way from 1931–47, after which it became known as the New Australia and then the Arkadia. Our best guess is that the film dates to 1939, as it shows a rugby match between Harvard and Cornell, and an article in the Harvard Crimson in that year noted that "Crimson rugby players will embark on April 1 for a week's stay in Bermuda where they will play Yale, Princeton, and Cornell during the annual rugby week held there."

This episode features the activities and training of local scouts in the Alaska National Guard near the Arctic Circle, with the goal of preventing foreign invasion and the spread of communism.  The Big Picture series contains over 800 episodes produced by the United States Army Signal Corps Army Pictorial Service. 
(Note: Alaskan Natives are referred to as Eskimos in this film. However, it is now considered unacceptable by most natives, mainly because it is a colonial name imposed by non-Indigenous people.)

Narrated by Cliff Robertson and featuring the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, the film shows F-14 Tomcats, A-7 Corsairs, A-6 Intruder, S3 Viking, Sea King helicopters, and E2C Hawkeye and EA-6B Prowlers and other aircraft operating at sea.  Guided missile cruisers, guided missile destroyers, and submarines are also shown in the task force.Created by Grumman Aerospace Corp. in the 1980s, "Air Power at Sea" profiles the nuclear powered aircraft carrier USS Nimitz and Carrier Air Wing Eight. For many years this was the central film shown at the USS Intrepid Air Sea Space Museum in New York City, and it remains an enduring portrait of carrier-based air support and the lives of U.S. Navy personnel. The film was shot during Carrier Refresher Training in 1982, prior to the Nimitz departing for operations off the coast of Lebanon in support of a multi-national force deployed there. One fun side note, is that this same carrier and air wing, with much the same aircraft, are seen in the film "The Final Countdown" made in 1980. That film did not however feature the narrator of this film, the venerable actor and accomplished pilot Cliff Robertson. (Also note, some people have speculated that this film helped inspire 1986's Top Gun starring Tom Cruise.) At the 14 minute mark, various drills are seen including a barrier arrest, rapid arming of aircraft under simulated combat conditions, and more.

That submarine, commanded by Captain-Lieutenant Otto Schuhart, sank the British aircraft carrier HMS Courageous on 17 September 1939, resulting in the tragic loss of over 500 men.

A portion of a sound Castle newsreel, "End of a U-boat" utilizes captured German newsreel footage of a submarine attack on Allied shipping, and then shows an American destroyer making a depth charge attack on the U-boat. At 1:05, the U-boat (probably U-505) surfaces and is struck by gunfire from the destroyer. At 1:33, the German crew is rescued by the U.S. Navy. At 2:00, the beginning of a U-boat -- silent footage of a U-boat hull under construction at a German shipyard. At 2:28 the U-boat is launched down the ways. At 2:57, a German newsreel commemorates the sinking of the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Courageous. At 3:24, the crew of the U-boat returns to Wilhelmshaven, a town on the Jade Bight on Germany's North Sea coast. At 4:01, the commander of the U-boat is decorated for his achievement. At 4:38, Adolf Hitler congratulates the U-boat commander and crew. At 5:52, a U-boat is shown surfacing at sea and operating a Wolf Pack. Surface vessels of the Kriegsmarine are also shown.

A Century of Progress was a non-profit corporation organized in January 1928 to plan and host the Chicago World’s Fair in 1933-1934 in Chicago, Illinois to celebrate the city’s centennial. The theme of the fair was ‘technological innovation’ with the motto “Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Adapts”. This rarely-seen long-length silent film by Burton Holmes shows the World’s Fair with its many exhibits, performances, buildings, and parks, all to portray the progress of the century. The film’s footage represents an assemblage of Burton Holmes’ separate monographs about the Chicago World’s Fair, which were released in 1933.

“If the Shoe Fits” (c.1945) is a color, promotional film presented by the Institute of Visual Training. Narrated by actor Douglas Edwards, the film takes the viewer along for an insider's guide to the many intricate manufacturing steps behind Thom McAn men’s shoes at a Thom McAn shoe factory in New Hampshire. Thom McAn is an American brand of shoes and was formerly a retail chain that saw massive growth over the course of the early 20th century to become one of America’s top shoe retailers.

USS Perch (SS-176) was a Porpoise-class submarine. During a war patrol in March, 1942, Perch was attacked by two Japanese destroyers, causing extensive damage and flooding throughout the boat. After repairs, Perch surfaced at 02:00 on 2 March, only to be again driven down by destroyers. Her loss of oil, as well as air from her damaged ballast tanks, convinced the Japanese that Perch was breaking up and they went on to look for other kills, allowing her to escape.

With Perch′s decks awash and only one diesel engine in commission, the crew made all possible repairs. During the early morning of 3 March, Perch made a test dive with almost fatal results. Expert handling and good luck enabled her to surface, and she began making further repairs. Then two Imperial Japanese Navy cruisers and three destroyers hove into view and began firing at Perch. As shells straddled Perch, her commanding officer ordered "Abandon ship, scuttle the boat." With all hull openings open, Perch made her last dive. She was stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 24 June 1942. The Japanese destroyer Ushio captured Perch′s entire crew. Of Perch′s 54 enlisted men and five officers, all but five — who died of malnutrition in...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/90d33484-b68e-4dbb-ab55-6cc00db53a6f/c08ae220-32c4-4822-ac81-d664d6486ffb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iTft6hCcM41MUrg62b1nX6</video:player_loc><video:duration>1577</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T17:26:40.182Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fkA2Vmpt6WMuMuFLbv7B5q</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2ca1c17a-8da3-4669-a13f-da606c5f16e2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DAMASCUS, SYRIA &amp; GRANADA, SPAIN  1934 TRAVELOGUE FILMS   THE ALHAMBRA  UNAYYAD MOSQUE  XD80605</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Please note: The tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever faced, killing more than 8 million people a year, including around 1.2 million deaths from exposure to second-hand smoke. All forms of tobacco are harmful, and there is no safe level of exposure to tobacco. Cigarette smoking is the most common form of tobacco use worldwide. Other tobacco products include waterpipe tobacco, various smokeless tobacco products, cigars, cigarillos, roll-your-own tobacco, pipe tobacco, bidis and kreteks.

“Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco” (1943) is a black-and-white promotional film featuring musical performances by Kay Kyser and Frank Sinatra. Made for Lucky Strike Cigarettes, the film presents two live musical performances - one by Frank Sinatra singing “Stardust” and the other of Kay Kyser leading a live band and singers in “Ma, He's Makin' Eyes At Me." The film also sheds light on the cigarette production process from the tobacco auction house to the Lucky Strike factory in Richmond, Virginia while the narrator repeats the tagline “Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco So Round So Firm So Fully Packed.”

This raw POV footage was shot from A-4 Skyhawks operating as part of strike fighter squadron VA-83, also known as the "Rampagers". At 3:12 the film shows aerial refueling of a group of fighters. 

It's not clear precisely when this material was shot, but VA-83 operated Skyhawks from 1960 through 1969. From 1960 to 1966 VA-83 made five deployments with CVW-8 aboard USS Forrestal to the Mediterranean Sea, the first still flying the A-4B, then two with the A-4C, and two with the A-4E. In 1961 and 1962 they won the COMNAVAIRLANT Battle “E”. In August 1962, a squadron A4D-2N Skyhawk cross-decked aboard the British carrier HMS Hermes. In late 1963 a detachment of VA-83 also operated from USS Lake Champlain providing fighter cover for Anti-Submarine Carrier Air Group 52 (CVSG-52). On 15 June 1966 they re-located to NAS Cecil Field in Florida. In 1966-67 and 1967-68 CVW-8 and VA-83 were deployed on USS Shangri-La, and in 1969 on USS John F. Kennedy.

The submarine survived the war and was scrapped in October 1947.

Dating to season 1 in 1957, this episode of "The Silent Service" is titled "The Starfish Came Home". It was directed by Sobey Martin and written by Sidney Marshall, and is hosted by Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers. The cast includes Patrick O'Neal, William Boyett and Richard Jaeckel.

The plot of the episode is about the "USS Starfish" -- a fictionalized name for the submarine USS Crevalle. (According to at one source, the reason for the name change was that actual events depicted in the episode were still considered a secret at the time of production.) In September of 1944, while on its fifth war patrol, USS Crevalle was cruising on the surface. Suddenly, the submarine crash dived due to a malfunction of the dive planes. Both the outer and inner conning tower hatches were open. The flow of water through the upper hatch should have been fatal to the boat and its crew, but the officer of the watch, Lt. Howard James Blind, managed to get it closed at the cost of his own life. Blind posthumously received the Navy Cross for his action.

"Ground Water" is an instructional film from 1935 that traces the movement of water through the watershed. It was made by ERPI classroom films (later to be known as Encyclopedia Britannica Films) which was founded in the 1920’s. (ERPI; along with other film companies such as Eastman Teaching Films, Pathe Exchange and Coronet Instructional films produced works for educational use. Encyclopedia Britannica would go on to become one of the leading film producers for schools and libraries from the 1940’s to the 1990’s.)

The film opens with rain bubbling and collecting on the surface of the ground (:31). This water will penetrate the soil eventually forming ground water (:32). Ground water trickles back up and out of a tiny spring (:41). An underground channel (:47) leads to a geyser (:49). A diagram follows to show the path of the groundwater (:58) as it feeds a well. The upper surface of the saturated ground is known as the water table (1:33). The water table rises (1:41). Layers of shale rest atop the groundwater (2:26). This collection of water is known as a reservoir (2:31) which can be tapped as water flows from a well (2:40). Ground water naturally seeps from porous rocks (2:54). A hot spring erupts (3:04). Minerals left behind from hot water springs build terraces (3:18). A sample of small plant life growing within the terraces is plucked (3:29). Deposits are quarried (3:42). The rock pictured is travertine rock to be used for ornamental wall finishes. A bubbling geyser follows (4:02). A diagram displays activity under the geyser (4:13). Daisy Geyser in Yellowstone National Park (5:15) is pictured. Old Faithful blows hourly (5:34) during winter and summer months. The Norris basin sits nearby...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8283241d-4876-4a27-8dae-0267d363fed3/9ef4b726-7e65-46a1-bb94-9b1ff2c18398-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/h7JWfKrywoEvTNKxzPZjNF</video:player_loc><video:duration>644</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T18:03:49.382Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nwRtB8Keq8rFYZtReTsnU6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f6380b0a-3b55-4a9e-a5a4-5b48b9903494.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"UNDERSTANDING MOVIES" 1971 EDUCATIONAL FILM   ASSESSING ENTERTAINMENT &amp; FILMMAKING CHOICES  XD65274</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

“Understanding Movies” (1971) is a color, educational short film directed by William Van Praag and his namesake production company in association with the New York Times and Arno Press. The film seeks to explain the way movies work specifically regarding the manipulation of time and space which the film achieves by breaking down a short, scripted espionage film. Nonetheless, the film's intention goes beyond that simple message - to urge viewers to think more critically about what they watch and to not be so easily influenced by its content.

This 1959 Encyclopedia Britannica Film explores the lives and actions of Vikings, also called Norsemen or Northmen. While perhaps slightly romanticized, the film attempts to depict the Vikings' travels and impact on history, by showing their traditions, explorations, their raiding and pillaging of their neighbors, and their eventual conversion to Christianity. The film also portrays the daily life of Vikings, including people plowing fields, harvesting hay, grinding grain, and men making tools and doing metalwork. This is followed by a map and animation of the furthest Viking explorations including to North America and through Russia to Constantinople. The film concludes with the departure of a Viking longship.

This 1961 educational film directed by Dale Smallin and James Willert presents a lesson about bicycle safety set in Covina, California. Special thanks are given to Wayne Allen, Sr., Dean Stevens, Foothill Cycle Shop, Crippen Ambulance Service, Covina Police Department, and Western Auto Covina in the opening credits. The film starts in black and white with a scene of two brothers in a driveway. The older brother is working on a car with the hood popped open and the younger brother is kneeling next to him oiling a bicycle (00:20:19). The older brother narrates the film and recounts the bicycle safety laws Willy breaks and an accident that occurs with him and his friend, Bobby. Willy pedals his bike out of the driveway onto Ruddock Avenue and narrowly misses being hit by a car. He rides past several Oldsmobile cars parked on the street, two men in white shirts and dark pants (1:49), and knocks over a woman carrying a paper grocery bag (2:06). He hitches a ride on the back of a Chevrolet truck (2:27). He splatters mud on an old car (3:29). He rides downtown and drops his bike outside of an ice cream store that has SCPA written on the bottom of the door (3:52). The two boys (Bobby and Willy) eat ice cream outside of the shop (4:09). Bobby is depicted in a new scene riding the new Schwinn bicycle he got for his birthday (4:34) to Willy’s house (number 9205) and knocking on the door. Willy turns a corner onto Banna Avenue past two German shepherds barking out a house window (5:14). The two boys race on the main road until Bobby cuts through an intersection without looking and is hit by a white Royal automobile (6:06). Two men in white pants and dark jackets get into a Crippen Ambulance vehicle (6:10) and drive on palm tree-lined streets to the accident. The ambulance pulls up next to Bobby lying immobile on the ground with a p...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/80fcfe4e-8c01-42c8-8fd6-f4c519d82066/742648d1-c878-4288-9e4b-f97d55107e48-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gVPRM45PwjuyLUhbpKdJFY</video:player_loc><video:duration>861</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T18:19:19.541Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aUD4SgxqojCN2A9oFtCZfe</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/48e53943-ec99-4462-9ad7-ddd43cec6e98.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HURRICANE CARLA DISASTER RESPONSE  1961 SOUTHWESTERN BELL INFORMATIONAL FILM  XD47824</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This black-and-white film (main title missing) was made to highlight the quick response and efforts of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. in repairing damage caused by Hurricane Carla in Texas and other Southern USA states. Hurricane Carla struck in early September 1961 after forming in the Caribbean Sea and was later categorized as a Category 4 storm. The hurricane caused the most damage in Texas which led to flooding and property damages but surprisingly relatively little loss of life. The film depicts the damage caused to the area and the work of Southwestern Bell employees and technicians from across the country as they journeyed to Texas to help in repair efforts, specifically in repairing downed telephone lines.  

Water crashing against shore, flooding, debris strewn about as narrator discusses Hurricane Carla (0:06). POV driving through flood waters, assessing property damage; Collapsed homes and commercial buildings (1:25). Long line of vehicles stuck in bumper to bumper traffic as they try to escape storm (1:42). Damaged buildings, debris after subsequent hurricanes (2:02).

Examples of buildings (mid-century modern, minimalist design) built with storm proofing in mind: Dial office in Sabine Pass, Port Arthur, Texas (5:34).

It was directed by Sobey Martin and written by Jay Rosenburg, and features Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers as the host. The plot of this episode surrounds the USS Grayling's fourth patrol, in which the sub encountered a Japanese Q-ship -- a decoy vessel used to draw in submarines. The sub ends up under heavy attack and it looks like curtains for the boat and its crew.  The "Grayling" would escape but then be lost with all hands in Sept 1943 during its eighth patrol near the Philippines. The Grayling would sink 5 ships totalling 20,000 plus tons before her loss. The cast includes Barry Atwater, Tommy Cook, Arvid Nelson and Dan Barton.

USS Grayling (SS-209) was a Tambor-class submarine.

This educational film "Geography of the Southern States" was produced in 1952 by Coronet Instructional Films.  It presents an overview of the geography of 11 states constituting the American South: Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. Disclaimer: please note that the film uses the outdated racial term "negro" which viewers may find offensive. 

The film opens with images of antebellum homes with long white pillars. The Alabama State Capitol building follows (:11). This was the first capital of the confederacy. Andrew Jackson’s former residence; the Hermitage, stands in Nashville, Tennessee (:22). Stratford Hall in Virginia was the birthplace of Robert E Lee (:28). A map appears to highlight the location of the southern states (:44) and which ten (plus Texas) were a part of the Confederate States. The slave trade shaped much of the history and culture of the south as African American slaves were stuffed aboard ships and sent to the US (1:21). The film turns to a cotton field (1:24). These states also share similar climate and soil (1:43) enabling a growing season of about 200 days. A rice field sits in the wet bottom lands (2:11). Sugar cane is harvested (2:21). Citrus groves are pictured abundant with grapefruit and oranges (2:32). The light colored soil is favorable for the growth of trees such as peach trees (3:00). A farmer sells his peaches at a local market (3:06). Oak and hickory forests follow (3:14); although pine trees are the most common (3:19). Another major crop is the tobacco plant (3:35). A child of a tobacco farming family works to help harvest the plant in August (3:51).

This film is one of a series created by travel agent Hal Linker and his wife Halla ( pronounced Hadla), entitled "Wonders of the World." In this program, Halla, Hal, and their son David journey around the globe to document various attractions. In this particular episode, the Icelandic family explores Scotland, showcasing the historic Traquair House and Highland gatherings in Lochearnhead. Although the production date is unspecified, it is possible that this footage was captured during their second global expedition, as chronicled in "Three Passports Adventure" (1961), suggesting it may have been filmed in the late 1950s. The "Wonders of the World" TV show was syndicated in over 40 other US cities, and 11 foreign countries, and most episodes are held in the Smithsonian Human Studies Film Archive. After he retired from moviemaking, Hal Linker  wrote a book entitled, "Three Passports To Adventure: The Story Of America's Most Famous Traveling Family".

“Touchdown Thrills of 1946” is a black-and-white sports reel film highlighting exciting college football games from the 1946 season. Presented by Official Films as part of their Sport Beams series, this particular film highlights the Army vs. Columbia, Navy vs. UPenn, University of Pittsburgh vs. University of Illinois, Notre Dame vs. University of Iowa, University of Georgia vs. University of Alabama, and Army vs. Navy games. Of the games depicted, however, the footage of West Point's Army Black Knights is the most exciting as the Army team was famously undefeated during their 1946 college football season. In their sixth season under head coach Earl "Red" Blaik, the Cadets compiled a 9–0–1 record and outscored opponents by a total of 263 to 80. Army's 1946 season was part of a 32-game undefeated streak that included the entire 1944, 1945, and 1946 seasons.

Dating to season 1 in 1957, this episode of "The Silent Service" is entitled "The Searaven". The plot is about an American submarine that attempts to save 33 Australian soldiers from Timor Island, by becoming a "sitting duck". The episode was directed by Jean Yarbrough and written by Milton Geiger. The cast includes Chet Marshall, Robert Christopher, Bill Phipps, Jim Goodwin and 
Dave Ketchum. 

Like most of the Silent Service episodes, this dramatization was based on fact. USS Searaven (SS-196), a Sargo-class submarine, conducted her third war patrol in the vicinity of Timor Island of the Netherlands East Indies, from 2 April to 25 April 1942. On 18 April, she rescued 32 Royal Australian Air Force men from enemy-held Timor, an act for which two of her officers were awarded the Navy Cross. Five days later, fire broke out in her main power cubicle, immobilizing Searaven completely. Snapper assisted her into port in Australia.

USS Searaven was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the sea raven, a sculpin of the northern Atlantic coast of America. Her keel was laid down on 9 August 1938 by the Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine. She was launched on 21 June 1939 sponsored by Mrs. Julianna B. Cole, wife of Cyrus W. Cole, Commandant of the Portsmouth Navy Yard ; and commissioned on 2 October 1939, with Lieutenant Thomas G. Reamy in command.

The Silent Service was a documentary styled anthology series about the U.S. Navy's submarine fleet and their missions during World War II and the Korean War.  Every episode was fact based and the realism of the show was elevated by the use of actual combat footage from the files of the United States Navy.

The stories, which varied between the South Pacific during World War II, the Atlantic campaign and the Korean War, were the brainchild of Rear Admiral Thomas M. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b7e6a0e3-153b-4944-923b-1a6101b70ce6/e65e1a12-6eaf-4202-95a1-c354150548c1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oH7CiCHbjWHVAuni9oPKSf</video:player_loc><video:duration>1586</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T18:28:35.967Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/31VGidsTZfxwP1p9KJG8LU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2f8f26ea-41b1-4fe7-88fb-3758b49ed1ec.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“PIERCING THE UNKNOWN” EARLY 1950s IBM COMPUTER PROMOTIONAL FILM  XD81325</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This early 1950s (possibly 1951) IBM advertising film "Piercing the Unknown" promotes the potential to make business advances through the new computing power available through the company’s Electronic Data Processing Machines. It begins with a short history about advancements in technology and how computing now allows humans to spend less time on menial tasks. This is followed by a history of the company’s early electronic calculators and computers and some of the advanced technology developed by IBM including magnetic tape storage, cathode ray tubes, and magnetic drums. This is followed by real and animated footage of how the Electronic Data Processing Machine works including reading and calculating speed, as well as storage options. The computer calculates the trajectory of 25 different missile designs for each second of their path in less than 7 minutes.

This advertisement from the beginning of the 1960s is presented by Johns-Manville to promote the low costing and professional installation of ceiling medallions designed by interior designer Michael Greer. It introduces the historical practice of painting and decorating ceilings all over the world among high-class societies and promotes the medallion to bring back this practice and make it accessible to anyone. (Note: although some fireproof Johns Manville ceiling tile products infamously made heavy use of asbestos, that aspect of the tiles is not mentioned in this film.)  Michael Greer was a prominent interior designer who helped decorate rooms in the White House during the Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy Administrations. Some of his other famous clients were Broadway and Hollywood icons.

This 1970s Sid Davis Production is part of the "Roll Call" series of police training films. This film "Pursuing Suspects on Foot" was made with the cooperation of the West Covina Police Department, and -- the title pretty much sums up the point of the film.  It looks at how to approach a suspect, and how to chase a fleeing suspect. That includes techniques for how to go around corners and dodge obstacles, and what to do with your weapon. In the night scenario, the film looks at how to hold your flashlight and conduct a quadrant search. The film ends with summary footage of all the information covered.

The film begins with images of wrecked F8F-1 Bearcats. We suspect these are part of VF-11, when the F8F-1 Bearcat was assigned to Carrier Air Group One (CVG-1).  CVG-1 embarked on USS Tarawa on a cruise from the U.S. West Coast to the U.S. East Coast from 1 October 1948 to 21 February 1949, and this footage likely shows the aftermath of that cruise. The film also contains footage of flights from the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, now Corpus Christi International Airport.

This 1960s episode of Vagabond, narrated by Bill Burrud, takes viewers to the Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and the city of Columbia, Washington along the Olympic Peninsula, and to the top of Mt. Olympus in the Olympic Mountains. It begins with some of the sights in Victoria, including historic buildings and the Thunderbird Park’s collection of Native American totem poles. This is followed by a couple fishing off the waters of Port Angeles. Finally, an airplane flies the camera crew to the top of Mt. Olympus, where scientists (part of the 1958 International Geophysical Year studies) are living to collect data. The camera crew follows them around as they take meteorological samples, ice cores, and climb into glaciers.

“The Japanese Hollywood” (c.1960s) is a color, documentary film highlighting Japan’s movie industry during what is deemed “the Golden Age of Japanese Cinema.” The decade of the '60s saw the production of a wide array and high quantity of films ranging from politically radical New Wave films to mainstream genre films. This film was part of the Across the Seven Seas At Home Abroad TV series made by Jack Douglas and Bing Crosby Productions. Hosted by Jack Douglas himself, the film takes an in-depth look at Japan’s movie industry by visiting the sets of major film studios, interviewing film enthusiasts and actors, as well as intimate portraits of rising stars performing musical numbers. Additionally, through these interviews, the film tries to get a sense of how the rise of television is affecting Japanese cinema and how the public feels about America’s Hollywood.

This 1961 film from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale was made with help from a grant from the U.S. Office of Education, Department of Health Education and Welfare. "No, But I Saw the Movie" uses animation and live action to explain the resources of a modern library, tracing the history of recorded communication from cave paintings to modern art and from clay tablets to microfilm.

The film provides a humorous approach to the history of recorded communication from cave paintings and clay tablets to modern art and microfilm.  It begins with a cartoon that illustrates the challenges a caveman would face in contemporary times (0:40). It then proceeds to showcase early versions of alphabets (1:33), including a cuneiform tablet (2:01), a papyrus scroll (2:22), a wax-coated wooden tablet and slate (3:10), and an ancient book (3:23). The audience is then shown a monk copying an illuminated manuscript (3:33), followed by images of ornate book pages (3:43-3:52). Additionally, the film presents a drawing of a university (4:23) and an old book attached to a chain (4:28), before displaying Johann Gutenberg and his printing press (5:41). The modern library is then shown (6:25), followed by a mock movie titled "Dust Jacket Varieties" (7:04) and a collection of book covers, including works by authors such as Sam and Beryl Epstein, Mary Shelley, and Mark Twain (7:02-7:57). The film showcases an old document scanner, a record player, and art within the library (8:18-8:30), as well as an old film projection device (8:48) and a card catalog cabinet (8:50). The audience is presented with various books, including Calvin's Doctrine of the World and Sacrament by Wallace Eerdmans (9:11) and General Zoology b...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/cc9a7f24-b730-4a4e-aabc-f2ca99862ea4/f1c21071-1035-4630-bd87-7617e4d2b870-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rgovGSfTMCStp9Cpjg8gqh</video:player_loc><video:duration>760</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T18:38:58.654Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bwT8hdt6cU3MWsqdr6DrYc</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f3194447-77c0-445e-a534-bd6a618b4fe2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" WHAT'S HAPPENING IN HARLEM?

This 1949 film “What’s Happening in Harlem?” was produced by the Communist Party USA as a sort of campaign film for council member Benjamin Davis. (Davis was one of the few communists ever to hold city office in New York. Later the same year the film was made, Smith was prosecuted for violating the Smith Act and sentenced to five years in prison.) "What's Happening in Harlem?" is a hard-hitting political short that discusses the economic exploitation of and police violence against African American and Puerto Rican residents of Harlem. The film depicts the ongoing effects of the second wave of the Great Migration. This print is incomplete, and it's unclear how much of the film is missing -- but it seems likely it was originally 11 minutes long. 

Harlem apartment tenement buildings (0:09). Residents go about their daily lives while surrounded by run-down conditions that some might characterize as a ghetto (0:16). Police lead horses down the street (0:21). Children playing in the alley way (0:47). African American mother caring for her children (0:57). Smiling black baby (1:12). Room displaying poor living standards with black triplet babies (1:17). Five black boys sleeping in the same small bed (1:50). Black girl enters a bathroom in poor condition (1:55). Man reads the paper while sitting outside of his window (2:02). White man, presumably a landlord, struts about the streets and collects money from black tenants (2:07).

This late 1950s / early 1960s Film produced by Gordon Braddley for Britain’s ATV looks at the economy of New Zealand. It begins by looking at the three main industries in the country including sheep farming for wool and meat, timber processing, and dairy products. This is followed by a look at the real estate market and all the new houses that have been built. It then briefly looks at advances in hydropower and geothermal power production. There is then footage of advances in schooling, including a special focus on the “complete and successful” integration of the Māori into the education system and society at large. It follows with some summary shots while the narrator discusses the difficulties facing the country, with a particular emphasis on widespread unionization as a barrier to development.

This 1949 educational film looks at the process of iron smelting in a blast furnace. The film begins by explaining the different elements of an iron plant, with a detailed diagram with animations of how it works. This is followed by shots of the materials needed for smelting. The animation then continues by showing what happens to the ingredients once they are thrown into the furnace. The final part of the film shows how workers tap the furnace to release slag and iron, and how this iron is molded and cooled down.

This film, presented by The Ringsby System, is produced in 1964 by Trucking Activities, and written and directed by Marlowe. It tells the story of motor transportation and its role in the economics of everyday life while showing Ringsby System’s terminals, trucks, and agricultural machines. Official summary:  "tells the story of motor transportation and its role in the economics of everyday." The Ringsby Truck Lines featured here was established by J.W. Ringsby in 1932. Over the next 30 years, Ringsby grew by acquiring other trucking companies. In 1969, Ringsby began experiencing financial problems which were compounded in the mid-1970s by a 3 year union strike. Ringsby recovered by 1981 but could not return to its former profitability and shut down for good in 1984. One bit of trivia: company founder J.W. Ringsby at one point owned the Denver Nuggets basketball team.

This 1958 travelogue "Follow the Sun to Israel" presents sunny Israel as an attractive destination to escape the winter in the USA. It follows a couple on a trip through the country and begins with their arrival at Lod Airport aboard an El Al flight. First they visit the city of Nazareth, where an Arab guide shows them around the ancient marketplace. Then they visit Eilat and visit the Dead Sea and the beach. This is followed by their flight back to Tel Aviv, where they enjoy the nightlife. Finally, they visit Tiberias on the Sea of Galilee and enjoy the natural scenery. (The film does not show Jerusalem, apparently because in the time it was made it was difficult for tourists to visit.) The film presents Israel as a somewhat “exotic” yet familiar enough destination, making for an enjoyable stay for Americans wanting to visit.

This silent film shows the 71st German Catholic Congress in August, 1932 in Essen, Germany. Hitler would become chancellor a year after this film was made, in 1933, a fact which explains the lack of Nazi symbols shown in the film. In July of 1933, again about a year after this film was made, the Concordat between the Vatican and the Nazis in promised the Catholic leadership the sort of autonomy they had sought for in exchange for complete acceptance of the new fascist order. Some of the footage shown is from a National German Rally of the National Association of Catholic Southern Germans. Pope Pius XI led the Catholic Church during the rise and fall of Nazi Germany. Many Germans were devoutly religious during that time period; in the early part of his time in power, Hitler was preoccupied with Christianity and the German Catholic and Protestant church. 

Text regarding the conference of German Catholics (:27). Images of Christ on the cross (:40) as the camera pans down to show an altar boy’s face holding the cross. The Catholic youth hold a rally (:47). Young girls sprint forward in Sunday dresses (:50). These children’s rallies were what led to the German Catholic’s conference. The Equestrian Statue of Emperor William I stands in the city center of Essen (1:15). Religious crowds are seen crammed in the Burgplatz; Essen’s historic heart (1:21). The camera moves over the massive crowd of devote Germans (1:32). A close shot shows the brass band blowing (1:52). The Missionary Bishop addresses the crowd (2:44). The film mentions a notable film critic; R. Muckermann (3:16). A car view shows a stream of religious marchers heading on towards the Baldeneysee Loop (3:58).

This 1968 McGraw-Hill Text Films career guidance film looks at the work of an African American air traffic controller named Frank Boone, who is shown working in the tower at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The film compares air traffic control to the controller’s morning commute, by comparing the commands he gives to those that a car would face while driving on the road. The footage is mostly of the controller speaking over radio and aircraft taxiing and taking off. After this film debuted, Frank Boone went on to a long and successful career, eventually running the tower at the airport at El Paso, Texas.

This 1960s American Films production looks at the natural beauty of the Pyrenees mountains with a focus on winter sports opportunities at the La Molina resort. The majority of the film presents shots of the mountain range in the winter, including from some villages nearby. It also shows skiers enjoying the slopes and some of the accommodations that they are staying it the town of La Molina. The Pyrenees mountain range separates the Iberian Peninsula from the rest of Europe, stretching more than 430km between Spain and France and rising higher than 3,400m in elevation. La Molina is a ski resort in the Pyrenees mountains of northeastern Spain, in the municipality of Alp in the comarca of Cerdanya in Girona, Catalonia. Together with Masella, it forms the Alp 2500 resort. It is the site of the first ski lift in Spain, opened on 28 February 1943, and Spain's first ski school, which opened a year later

This film "Yosemite" was produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films Inc., which was the top producer and distributor of educational films between the 1940s and 1990s. This film is based on a film produced by Atwater Kent Foundation for the National Park Service, Department of the Interior with photography by Ted Phillips, A.S.C, and covers the historical formation of Yosemite National Park from swampy lowland to high mountain peaks and deep river canyons.  (Note: this print was formerly owned by the The United States of Agriculture, Bureau of Animal Industry Pathological Division, and has that organization's logo at the head.)

Both served as test pilots for the famed Travel Air Company, a noted airplane manufacturer. Truman also operated an airplane sales outlet in St. Joseph, Missouri during 1928.  Newman Wadlow participated in the Ford Reliability Tour in 1929, and Truman flew in 1930. The brothers operated the Wadlow Bros. Flying Service Co. in Wichita in the early 1930s. This film seems to date to 1930, as it has images of the 1930 National Air Races in Chicago which were held at Curtiss-Reynolds Airport on August 23rd to September 1st. More information the Wadlows can be found here: https://dmairfield.org/people/wadlow_tt/index.html

The film starts with images that appear to be shot from the Chrysler Building -- the images at 4:16 show the observation deck interior. The Chrysler was only two years old at the time this was filmed. At :51, shots of a large balloon being inflated, possibly at the National Air Races in Chicago, followed by a flyover by what appear to be Navy biplanes. At 1:45, a hangar is visible that appears to have Rutledge painted on the roof, this is the Rutledge Hangar at the Stanley Jones Airport in Calgary, Alberta. At 2:06, aerial footage shot out of the enclosed cabin of an airplane. At 2:08, also shot out of a plane, a large crowd is held back by what appear to be Canadian mounted police. At 2:50, images shot at what  might be a dude ranch, and at 3:11 an unidentified boy poses with a horse. At 3:39 the large camp stove is visible on the range. At 3:58, the wing of NC 401H, one of the Ford Trimotors involved in the Ford Reliability Tour is seen. A crowd gathered around the airplane and what appears to be a Cessna Model A (4:04). At (4:27) more aerial footage, this time showing mountains down below.  At (5:10), fascinating shot showing what appears to be a Curtiss "pusher" type airplane in flight.

The film begins with images of a group of sailors, supervised by an officer, marching and performing drills as part of training. At 3:59 the coverage of the races. Although this footage is not well shot and somewhat overexposed, it does show some interesting highlights including the arrival of a  Sikorsky S-38 at 4:51. This was a twin-engined ten-seat sesquiplane amphibious aircraft and Sikorsky's first widely produced amphibious flying boat, serving successfully for Pan American Airways and the United States military.  An autogiro is shown at 13:00, and planes performing a dead stick landing at 11:29 and 14:00. At 14:20 is a shot of the stands with the son of the person who filmed the home movies. The boy appears to be wearing a Boy Scout uniform. The chair back next to him advertises Stanavo aviation gasoline.  He is shown at 14:46 playing with the family dog. 

The National Air Races of 1930 took place at Chicago’s Curtiss-Reynolds airfield from 23 August to 1 September. Flight magazine reported that there were “about 34 races spread over the ten days, in addition to many other events on each day’s programme” and that, with the exception of the races, each day’s programme of events was much the same. The daily events included glider contests and demonstration flights, balloon-bursting competitions, dead-stick landing contests, exhibitions by Army, Navy and Marine Corps’ aircraft, parachute jumping contests, civilian aerobatic exhibitions and flights by the renowned American pilot “Jimmy” Doolittle. Plus, of course, Al Williams and the ‘foreign pilots.’

This is followed by an overview of the apprentice system and some of the skills that toolmakers need to learn such as operation of machinery, meticulous measurement, and reading blueprints. This is followed by footage of the creation and operation of some tools and the development of cutting edge die for the accurate manufacturing of plastics.

This 1960s film produced the Clark Equipment Company and Pilot Productions looks at some common work safety hazards that can come about as a result of the negligence of the operators. This is done through the dramatic device of having dead operators in heaven speaking to St. Peter, who lectures them on the safety violations they committed. The film covers improper or unsafe maintenance practices, hitchhiking, smoking in areas where it is forbidden, hitting electricity lines, and leaving the engine running while not operating the machine. It ends with St. Peter giving closing remarks about the importance of workplace safety, so that heaven’s acceptance quota is not overfilled needlessly. Clark Equipment Company was an American designer, manufacturer, and seller of industrial and construction machinery and equipment.  In 1953 it purchased the Michigan Power Shovel Co and developed a new division dedicated to large scale earthmoving equipment, some of which is shown in the film.

Dating to 1958 and season 2 of "The Silent Service", this episode "Mine for Keeps" is about the USS Trigger. The submarine is dispatched to lay mines along the coast of Japan, so as to force Japanese ships out into deeper waters where they can be attacked by submarines.  The operation is risky, as the patrol will bring Trigger into shallow waters where the submarine can be easily spotted and sunk.

This episode was directed by Sobey Martin and written by Herm Lewis, It is hosted by Rear Admiral Thomas Dykers, and stars Carl Betz, Roy S. Benson, Russell Johnson (better known as The Professor on "Gilligan's Island"), Ron Hagerthy, Robert Foulk, K.L. Smith, Stewart Bradley, William Henry and Robert Whitesel.

USS Trigger (SS-237) was a Gato-class submarine. From 3 December 1942 to 22 January 1943, the submarine conducted a combined minelaying and offensive patrol, in waters surrounding the Japanese home islands. On 20 December, she began planting a minefield off Inubo Saki, Honshū. Trigger planted the northern half of the field and was working on the southern part when a cargo ship passed her, heading into the newly-laid mines. Five minutes later, a violent explosion rocked the freighter which sank while an escort circled her. The submarine later heard another explosion from the direction of the minefield and, when she surfaced the next day, found the field was covered by smoke.

    4:16   Marijuana is identified by its saw-toothed leaf with an odd number of "fingers." The film explains that while marijuana is   non-addictive  , its greatest danger is that it's a   "stepping stone to the harder drugs."   It is claimed that   95% of narcotic addicts begin with marijuana  .
    5:13   The film distinguishes   dangerous drugs   from narcotics, specifically mentioning   barbiturates   (sleeping pills), which are described as highly addictive.

This 1968 film "Joshua" was written and directed by Bert Salzman and was produced in cooperation with the Anti-Defamation League. Joshua is a Black student who has won an athletic scholarship to a college in Texas, and enjoying one last day in Harlem before he heads to his new school. He spends his day hanging out with a girlfriend, and running through Central Park. While running in the park, he interacts with a little boy, who ends up calling him a racial slur (the N-bomb). Joshua runs away and accidentally bumps into a white teen trying to fly a kite. They physically fight each other, but end up speaking afterwards and raising the kite together. While the message of the film is that racist encounters should not affect how others are treated, it problematically suggests that racism should just be ignored. Cast: Errol Booker as Joshua, Greg Brown as Boy with Kite, Gary Allen as 
Young Boy, Mira Espinosa as Mother, Thelma Drayton as Fanny and Curt Stewart as Henry.

Dating to 1973, "Drink Drive Rationalize" was created by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. It was produced by Gene Starbecker with a script by Cal Larson. This is a unique traffic safety education film based on the "Sure Mac, Sure" P.S.A. series. It uses Scrabble game segments and entertaining vignettes to illustrate how drunk drivers kid themselves into believing that it is all right to be behind the wheel. The various excuses the people in the film offer include "eating a lot makes drinking okay", "I can sweat out alcohol and stay sober by sweating", "I know my limit", "This is a weak mixed drink", etc.  The film makes the point that drinking capacity of human beings varies, and emphasizes the importance of waiting before driving after drinking. It also discusses myths about drinking punch and 3.2 beer, and whether coffee can actually reverse the effects of alcohol.

"The Battle of China," Chapter VI of Frank Capra's "Why We Fight" series, explains why the Empire of Japan possessed such a strong interest in ruling the disparate lands of China. In an attempt to break the will of the Chinese people in one massive assault, Japan invades Nanking and massacres forty thousand civilians. The attack results in an opposite effect, galvanizing the Chinese resistance and unifying the separate lands into a single Chinese identity. While the Japanese take control of all Chinese ports, hoping to cut off all resources from its victim, China's allies effectuate an engineering miracle. They construct the seven hundred mile long Burma Road over the mountains of Myanmar, and set up a constant caravan of trucks to ship food and materiel to the Chinese armies, keeping them alive. Frustrated by their inability to conquer China, the Japanese turn their attention to the islands of the Pacific, and the United States."

1:30 - 1:52: Introduction to the Battle of China, focusing on the onset of the Battle of Shanghai in September 1937, describing it as the beginning of a new kind of war with the first mass bombing of civilians.

Hosted by O.J. Simpson, this Peabody Award winning TV show "The Turned on Crisis" (1970) features Dr. Helen Howlis of the University of Rochester, Dr. Sidney Cohen of the NIH, Surgeon General Jesse Steinfeld, and guest celebrities Marty Allen, Frank Gorshin, Ed Nelson, Greg Morris, Judy Pace, Percy Rodriguez and Arnold Palmer. The show explores the widespread issue of drug abuse, emphasizing both physical and psychological dependence on substances ranging from marijuana and stimulants to narcotics like heroin. Initially considered a problem limited to inner-city communities, drug use has spread to suburban and middle-class populations, affecting youth across the country. The experts explain that no drug is truly safe—whether legal or illegal—and misuse, even of everyday substances like aspirin or caffeine, can be harmful. The program highlights how media, advertising, and adult behavior contribute to a culture that normalizes drug use, influencing children to experiment. Through discussions with experts and youth, the program reveals complex reasons behind drug use, including peer pressure, emotional escape, rebellion, and environmental stress. It concludes by showing that drug use is a historical and cultural issue, not just a modern crisis, and calls for understanding, education, and open dialogue to address the epidemic.

Part 2: https://youtu.be/R2c2yS197WM

During World War II, Paramount Pictures produced this 50-minute narrative educational film "The Story of D.E. 733" exclusively for the U.S. Navy. Also known as "Ship of Shame", the film aimed to address the prevalence of venereal diseases, the danger these STDs presented to the war effort, and prevention strategies. It stars Keefe Brasselle and features Eddie Hall, William Hall, Vivien Oakland, and Rory Mallinson.Please be aware that the film contains graphic scenes of genitalia and discusses using condoms for protection.Summary: This motion picture reinforces the message that contracting VD is not only a personal tragedy but could also affect the war effort. The information is presented as a narrative, rather than in the usual lecture form, in the hopes that sailors could identify with the characters and learn from their mistakes.  Most of the movie consists of a flashback narrated by the ship's commanding officer. In this section, he recounts how the ship's downfall wasn't the enemy at sea but an enemy onboard: sexually transmitted infections. He describes how his reluctance to address this issue before the sailors' liberty at port led to a large contingent of the men contracting gonorrhea and syphilis. The crew ignored the doctor's warning to abstain or use condoms. Instead, when they landed at port, the men immediately sought women's company and later swapped stories of their time on land.(00:21) Navy servicemen prepare to dock the boat.(00:40) Two men have broken arms.(01:40) The commanding officer of destroyer escort 733, Lt.

This vintage alcoholism awareness film "Facing It: My Friend's an Alcoholic" was created for high school students. It shows the struggles of addiction using the narrative of a 17-year-old named Terry played by musician and actor, Dean Cameron.  “Facing It” focuses on the attempts of friends to intervene and help support their alcoholic peer.  It features Terry, AJ and Terry's girlfriends Kelly as the main characters, all students of Hollywood High School. AJ initially covers for Terry and his rapidly destabilizing behavior. He later decides to seek support with Kelly to help their suffering friend. It features themes of friendship, responsibility and the struggles of addiction. The narrative covers a series of interactions over Terry's drinking ultimately leading to a drunken episode at the Spring Dance calling the attention of police. The opening section looks at Terry's attempt to cover his alcoholism and the strain it begins to put on his relationships. Terry and his girlfriend argue at a carnival over his behavior and when he and his friend's band get an invite to play for the upcoming Spring Dance, Terry misses every rehearsal. It continues to show potential routes peers might take in order to help a friend struggling with addiction. The film was directed by William "Bill" Haugse and also stars Michelle DeBriere and Brian Sheehan.

Please note: this historic film contains content and language which may be considered demeaning and/or troubling to viewers. Our intent in publishing it is not to offend, but to add to the historic record, and reveal public perceptions regarding race in another era in American history. This film has been intentionally age restricted.

Dating to the 1930s or 40s, this is an elaborate, amateur produced 8mm film that also contains home movie segments. It's unclear who shot it or precisely where, although the beginning of the film (which references "parishes") was probably shot in Louisiana. The film is notable because it contains rare images of Black families and children, although the intentions of the person who filmed them is unclear. The people shown were likely sharecroppers who lived in extreme poverty owing to the stagnant and racist social conditions of the Jim Crow era. (Note: in this era, one of the stereotypical notions was of "happy Blacks" including the "happy dancer" or minstrel, and it doesn't seem uncommon that White tourists would pay or otherwise coerce kids to dance for them on camera.) 

The film starts with a title scroll that reads: "Negro Life in the Deep South" and continues "Negroes make up 40 percent of the population of the state. Every city has its negro high school while in the rural districts the negro is educated in plantation schools. In seventeen parishes (counties) they are in the majority. In some small towns the percentage is 60% and in a few the entire population is negro. In the southern part they are of the Catholic faith and speak only French." After the title scroll, the film shows an African American or Black boy who is selling fruit to passing c...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fb68793a-d8d2-48db-ad1e-c9ea6c3c1d24/41a41522-7b4a-4b3d-8edb-0e06bb046d96-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/x3Bc7jWgeB9aQK2WCxxx3d</video:player_loc><video:duration>712</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T20:13:06.346Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iedmjF4ezcya57NTy9JELT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8630472f-3ea5-456b-ba88-8c94112de811.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MARGARET SANGER &amp; THE FOUNDING OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD  1966 DOCUMENTARY w/ KATHARINE HEPBURN  SM10065</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Narrated by Katherine Hepburn and directed by Herman J. Engel, this documentary profile of Margaret Sanger was created by Planned Parenthood World Population in 1966, the 50th Anniversary year of the organization, and the year that Sanger passed.  Margaret Sanger, also known as Margaret Sanger Slee, was an American birth control activist, sex educator, writer, and nurse. She popularized the term "birth control", opened the first birth control clinic in the United States, and established organizations that evolved into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Sanger was prosecuted for her book Family Limitation under the Comstock Act in 1914. Eventually her efforts contributed to several judicial cases that helped legalize contraception in the United States. In 1916, Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in the U.S., which led to her arrest for distributing information on contraception, after an undercover policewoman bought a copy of her pamphlet on family planning. In 1921, Sanger founded the American Birth Control League, which later became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. She is widely regarded as a founder of the modern birth control movement. (Note: Sanger drew a sharp distinction between birth control and abortion, and was opposed to abortions throughout the bulk of her professional career, declining to participate in them as a nurse.)  (Note: Katherine Hepburn's parents were a New England urologist who campaigned to educate the public about venereal disease and a suffragette who worked with Margaret Sanger to promote birth control.)

This vintage appliance sales film; “Glenn Riggs Inc. Admiral Refrigerator” is a training tool designed for Admiral Appliance sales representatives. The film does unfortunately include some fairly sexist 1950’s perspectives on selling home goods to housewives. It was created to help sales representatives build a targeted sales story for consumer individual needs. It stresses the need for personalization and emotional connection in order to enhance customer satisfaction and outcomes. 

00:00 The narrator opens the film addressing viewers intended to be sales representatives (:09). He shows a blackboard (:23) to be used throughout the film in order to show various steps of the sales process emphasizing key strategies such as convenience, exclusive features, automatic defrosting, personalization and comparison to competitor models. An example is introduced of Glenn Riggs pitching a sale to Mrs. Williams (:47). Glenn begins his address to Mrs. Williams (1:08) offering compliments and kind gestures such as taking the parcels from her hands, her jacket from her back (1:10) and offering her coffee (1:44). Mrs. Williams sits in front of an advertisement poster. The first portion of the sales pitch is designed to make the customer feel important, he targets aspects about her life including her residency and its distance from the local grocery store (2:14). The instructor notes the first two points are to uncover who she is and what her needs are (2:29). Throughout their discussion Glenn is aware of various appliances which might benefit her life including the Admiral Air conditioner (3:05). Mrs. Williams asks about electric ranges (3:20).

NOTE: This is reel 1 of 2, and so far we have not located reel 2. 

"Primitive Patzcauro" is a color film dating to 1937 by Ralph E. Gray that shows Janitzio, a community on Lake Patzcauro, Michoacán, Mexico. The film shows the lake and ts inhabitants, including the Tarascan Indians. Some of the people of Janitzio and the towns surrounding Lake Pátzcuaro are of indigenous descent and are known as Purépecha. 

The film begins with a visit to the Isla de Janitzio, the largest of five islands in Lake Pátzcuaro. The town of Janitzio, which means "maize flower" in Purépecha, is shown atop a hill on the island (1:18). Note: a 40-meter statue of José María Morelos, a great hero of Mexico's independence, started in 1933, is visible on the island's highest point.  The film documents what the town is best known for — fishing. It starts with images of drag net fishing (3:41) before showing the more famous butterfly fishermen, skilled at lowering their butterfly-shaped nets (seen at 5:44) to catch "pescado blanco" (Chirostoma estor). This is a species of freshwater silverside endemic to the lake which is important to the local cuisine. 
 
Review from Movie Makers, Dec. 1937: "One comes from a screening of Primitive Patzcuaro, by Ralph E. Gray, with an overwhelming impression of pure beauty. Here, in compositions which often echo the Old Masters in their warmth of color and satisfying balance, an amateur movie maker has turned his camera on the simple life about him and found it pleasing. One after another, the magnificent scenes and sequences bring from the spectator that involuntary expression of deep pleasure which is ambrosia even to the great of amateur movies.

Dating to the 1940s, "Orchids" is a short film that appears to have been made on behalf of the floral industry. It explores the mysterious and exotic beauty of orchids, focusing on their diverse origins and delicate nature. It introduces hybrid orchids, which are cultivated descendants of wild varieties from jungles around the world. Viewers are taken on a visual tour of native orchids from places such as the Andes, Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, the Himalayas, and the United States. The cultivation process is described as slow and meticulous, often taking five to eight years and requiring careful replication of native climates, including humidity, temperature, and indirect sunlight. Growers selectively hybridize orchids with unique traits to enhance their beauty and variety. Among the most common on the market are hybrid cattleyas, prized for their unmatched elegance. The film concludes by honoring the orchid as the queen of flowers, ideal for corsages, formal wear, and bouquets.

Dating to 1966, "A Very Special Day" was produced by United World Films, Inc. and directed by Richard Bemer, with cinematography by Jon Wing Lum, musical theme by Richard Beymer and incidental music by Sam Brown.  The film presents the simple story of a boy named Tom, who is visiting the pier at Coney Island, New York. While escaping from other boys intent on grabbing his ball, Tom accidentally runs into a young girl, causing her dog to run away down the beach. While pursuing the dog, the girl ends up separated from her father. Tom helps protect the girl from the bullies who want to harras her and steal her balloon, and finally is able to get her back to her dad. The film is probably most notable for presenting views of the Coney Island pier and amusement park, including the exterior of the Spook-a-Rama at 14:27, and views of the Wonder Wheel.

This film, a segment from the WWII Army-Navy Screen Magazine entitled "Total War", presents a heartfelt wartime letter exchange between two women—one Russian and one American—highlighting the shared sacrifices and strength of women during World War II. The Russian woman, Natasha, thanks her American friend, WAC officer Anna Sattoriia, and describes her life working in a factory while her husband, Boris, serves as a decorated tank sergeant. She recounts how Russian women, including mothers and children, contribute to the war effort by working in factories, mines, and even learning to fight. A touching letter from Boris reveals the grim realities and resolve on the front lines, emphasizing the destruction left by the retreating Germans and the deep sense of purpose among Russian soldiers. Natasha expresses hope for the future, especially for her son’s role in rebuilding their war-torn country. The film then shifts focus to Marshal Tito, showing the first footage of the Yugoslav leader and honoring his role in uniting his people against Nazi occupation. Together, the narratives underscore the global fight against fascism and the resilience of those involved. (Note: The Women's Army Corps (WAC) was a women's branch of the U.S. Army during World War II and the early Cold War. It allowed women to serve in non-combat roles, freeing up men for combat duty. The WAC was initially established as the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) in 1942 and became the WAC in 1943. Over 150,000 American women served in the WAC during World War II. )

Shot by amateur filmmaker Ralph Du Bois, this incredible silent film from sometime between 1943-45 takes us behind the scenes of the Broadway production of "One Touch Venus". One Touch of Venus is a 1943 musical with music written by Kurt Weill, lyrics by Ogden Nash, and book by S. J. Perelman and Nash, based on the 1885 novella The Tinted Venus by Thomas Anstey Guthrie, and very loosely spoofing the Pygmalion myth. The show satirizes contemporary American suburban values, artistic fads and romantic and sexual mores. Weill had been in America for eight years by the time he wrote this musical, and his music, though retaining his early haunting power, had evolved into a very different Broadway style. The original Broadway production opened at the Imperial Theatre on October 7, 1943 and closed on February 10, 1945 after 567 performances. It was directed by Elia Kazan, featured choreography by Agnes de Mille, and was co-produced by John Wildberg and Cheryl Crawford. It starred Mary Martin, Kenny Baker and Paula Laurence.

At :27 the film starts with the cover of Life Magazine in 1938, introducing actress Mary Martin in an photo spread. At :49, live footage of a Martin performance. At 1:13, Martin is shown putting on makeup at the Imperial Theater, with Du Bois visible in a mirror behind her.

This educational film "Shoplifting is Stealing" was produced by Charles Cahill and Associates in 1975. It discusses the issue of shoplifting and the various measures taken by retail stores to combat it. It highlights the significant financial losses due to shoplifting, which amount to over $3.5 billion annually in the U.S. Stores often mark up prices to cover these losses, which can be particularly challenging for small businesses. The film explains that many shoplifters are teenagers who steal for emotional reasons, peer pressure, or thrills rather than necessity. It emphasizes that shoplifting is a serious crime with legal consequences, including a police record. Various security measures are described, such as trained security staff, surveillance cameras, electronic tags, and packaging techniques that make it harder for shoplifters to steal items. The film also follows a scenario where security tracks and apprehends suspected shoplifters using surveillance and communication. Overall, the film underscores the impact of shoplifting on both businesses and consumers, and the efforts made to prevent it.

"Child Abuse: Cradle of Violence" was released by Motorola Teleproductions in 1976 and created by Bonanza Films for Health and Welfare Canada. Produced by Jerry Kinsley and created by J. Gary Mitchell and Richard Gebhardt, this educational film looks at the horrific crime of child abuse and the psychology of the abuser. At the time the film was made, the subject of child abuse was only beginning to be discussed in society, and the movie provided a sobering glimpse of the reality. Official description: "Intimate interviews with abusive parents in the areas of child behavior and discipline create an understanding of child abuse and the need to break the cycle. Alternatives to corporal punishment and potential stress situations are presented." The film includes a series of interviews with former abusive parents, looking at factors contributing to abuse. Environmental pressures and the stages of emotions arising prior to abuse are explored. Former abusers; who have now learned to love and accept their children, paint a tortured tale of violence, regret and addiction. Through various interviews; parents and psychologists explain this transition in to and out of violence occurs. Peaceful nonviolent approaches of handling abuse within the home are relayed. This is a Bonanza Film Production. Following the first incident, a parent is more likely to continue to seek violent corrective methods if behavior is not curbed, quickly. Group counseling sessions feature round table confessions of beatings at home. Re-socialization following counseling is also shown.

This brief film shows the final moments of Senator Robert F. Kennedy's life. Kennedy (shown at the start of the film accepting the Democratic nomination for President in the 1968 election) was assassinated in the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California on June 5, 1968. The assassination occurred shortly after midnight, in the hotel's kitchen, following Kennedy's victory speech in the California Democratic presidential primary. Kennedy was shot three times at point-blank range by Sirhan Sirhan; the stricken candidate was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital where we would pass away 26 hours later.. Five other people were also wounded in the attack. Sirhan was arrested at the scene and convicted of murder. He is currently serving a life sentence in prison.

One of a series of films made by the California Department of Corrections, "The Correctional Officer: Suicidal Inmates" (1980s) provides an overview of the responsibilities of correctional staff, particularly in dealing with inmate suicide attempts. It emphasizes the immediate actions required when an inmate attempts suicide, such as releasing the inmate, protecting their head and neck, providing first aid, and performing CPR if necessary. The film explains the minimal pressure needed to stop blood flow to the brain and highlights the shock staff often feel after a suicide, recalling missed warning signs. It discusses the high risk of suicide when inmates first arrive due to "jailhouse shock," and the potential for severe depression or withdrawal in alcoholics or drug addicts. The film also outlines the challenges of identifying suicidal inmates, the importance of watching for signs of depression and personal crises, and the need for staff to notify supervisors and mental health staff if they suspect suicide risk. It stresses the importance of talking about suicide with inmates, asking direct questions, listening without judgment, and creating an environment for open discussion to prevent suicide. Finally, it advises correctional staff on the steps to take if an inmate threatens suicide, including calling for help and securing the area.

This remarkable film "Teen Revolt" apparently dates to 1965, and was advertised as "a dramatic film about teenage delinquency and drug addiction among teen gangs". It was apparently produced by Teen Challenge, a Christian organization that founded by David Wilkerson in 1960.  (Wilkerson gained national recognition after he co-authored the book The Cross and the Switchblade in 1962 with John and Elizabeth Sherrill about his street ministry.) Teen Challenge seeks to rehabilitate young people caught in the grips of drug use. The film shows boys and young men in the African American and Puerto Rican communities in Brooklyn who are in open rebellion against "the man". Many of them are heroin users or addicts who are getting high simply for the "thrill". The film includes various gang members from groups including the Suicides, Latin Crowns, Killers and Hellburners. The film is apparently hosted and narrated by Wilkerson. He laments the various activities he witnesses. He also provides a homily of sorts at the end of the film, discussing the positive impact of Teen Challenge, and discussing how a spiritual revolution must occur so that the upcoming generation can be saved.

This brief film shows the 1968 riots in Washington, D.C. that followed the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., a leading African-American civil rights activist. The riots occurred on April 4, 1968, Washington, D.C., experienced a four-day period of violent civil unrest and rioting. Part of the broader riots that affected at least 110 U.S. cities, those in Washington, D.C.—along with those in Chicago and in Baltimore—were among those with the greatest numbers of participants. President Lyndon B. Johnson called in the National Guard to the city on April 5, 1968, to assist the police department in quelling the unrest. Ultimately, 13 people were killed, with approximately 1,000 people injured and over 6,100 arrested.

The film contains footage of police beating African American protestors, footage of large groups of African Americans being escorted away by police, footage of African American men motionless in street, footage of African American men being arrested and put in cars, footage of African American men being carried away in stretchers, footage of burning and smashed buildings, footage of Military Police or National Guard in front of D.C. Capitol.

This 1944 U.S. Navy film (MN-3726G) shows how medical stations are set up on Saipan and how wounded are evacuated from the largest of the Northern Mariana Islands. It was shot in part by cameraman Edwin C. Udey, from whom we have other films in our collection. The film opens with naval guns firing at Saipan and planes flying overhead as U.S. forces prepare to invade the island. Soldiers climb into transport ships and move to shore (01:02). Landing craft hit the beach; men and tanks start pushing inland. A medical company starts treating casualties on the beach (02:10). Soldiers fire machine guns, and tanks drive inland. Several men carry out injured soldiers on stretchers. A jeep drives a wounded man to a battalion aid station (02:52). Medics dress a wound on a soldier’s back. Wounded men are evacuated on trucks to the regimental aid station (03:52). Footage shows the station still functioning despite having just been shelled. Men dig trenches and lay out medical supplies at a battalion aid station close to the fighting (04:55). At the collection station, two medics keep records of the wounded or killed (05:30). Medics give plasma to a wounded soldier (06:29). At the beach evacuation station, wounded men are loaded onto LVTs and taken out to a transport ship. A wounded Marine lieutenant asks about his men. An LVT heads out to the reef to meet a transport ship. The wounded are transferred from the LVT to the larger transport ship (08:43), which motors to the anchored hospital ship. Footage shows men wounded by mortar fragments being individually raised up to the deck from the transport boat (09:25). Inside the ship’s emergency room (10:05), medical officers treat the wounded soldiers.

This fascinating and somewhat hilarious tease of a movie initially appears to be a public health film, but in reality it was a sales film for a book about romance. The movie was presented by Roadshow Attractions (:14) and features the author of “The Art of Love: Your Sex Problems Solved”, Dr. Homer Blodgett (possibly a pseudonym for Hildegarde Esper). Blodgett provides a lecture based on his book, which was published in 1945 and sold -- as the production company name implies -- in a traveling road show. A note opens the film informing viewers that our strongest motivational drive comes from sex, sex-urge and love (:30). Dr. B beings speaking at (1:49) introducing the audience to the topic of sex which is considered to be fairly taboo (2:28). Churches, schools and parents refrain from divulging too deeply into the subject (3:59) which often leads to important health and safety practice questions being left unanswered (4:07). Statistics from the mid to late 1940’s are looked at which show over a million illegal "sex operations" in the United States (11:49). Dr. Homer addresses illegal and unsafe abortions which many women felt forced to do being left with few options (5:15). The US was also second highest in deaths caused by childbirth (6:20). He attributes the high divorce rate in the country to the general ignorance of the subject (6:51). Dr. Homer also draws comparison to American men and their European and other foreign counterparts who were, often times, more educated in the subject (8:48). He cites a study conducted in a national magazine which attributes marital affairs to men again being uneducated or without time to become proficient on the art of love (9:06).

It was written by Mildred Barish Vermont, produced by Hazel Greenwald and narrated by Quentin Reynolds. This short documentary film produced by the Hadassah organization to raise funds for the Youth Aliyah movement. It describes the story of children who were orphaned after World War II, and collected by the Youth Aliyah movement, and were allowed to emigrate to Israel and get a new life . It includes footage from the docking of the immigration ship Henrietta Szold and the deportation of the immigrants to internment camps in Cyprus, and disturbing footage from the ghettos and the Holocaust / concentration camp aftermath. Overall, the film emphasizes the contrast between the darkness of the past and the hope for a brighter future in Palestine

0:37 - 1:07: The film opens with a winter afternoon in a free world, showing children who are the beneficiaries of the victory over evil forces. It contrasts their carefree lives with the darkness of the past. Shots of kids getting hair cut and a child getting permed / curls at a beauty shop, sitting atop a merry go round horse. Kids blowing bubbles, girls in matching dresses watching a parade. 

1:07 - 1:38: The narrative shifts to the other side of the world, where people who fought alongside the Allies did not achieve the same freedom. It shows the destruction and loss in their homes, images of the concentration camps filled with bodies, and horror. 

1:38 - 2:13: Focus on a Jewish child who remembers the horrors of the past, including the loss of family members. The child’s memories are filled with darkness and suffering.

"Angel Death" looks at the drug PCP,  which came into prominence as it exited the surgeon’s room. The substance was initially created for use as an intravenous anesthetic, though it was discontinued after reports from patients experiencing extreme agitation, violence or delusion. This 1978 anti-drug film delivers an in depth look at the drug's physiological and emotional effects through personal accounts from patients in inpatient and outpatient programs. It also contains footage of animal experiments which might be difficult to watch for some viewers. Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward narrate. (:24). Formers users (:48); a man bounces on his buttocks; tweaking on the sidewalk. Former users repeatedly detail experiencing a strong sense of violence (1:03). A twelve year old user is interviewed (1:18). Strange and powerful side effects (1:27). Legal use on humans was discontinued in 1965. The public was exposed and recreational use soared until the 1980's as crack became more readily available. PCP is considerably easy to brew at home. Rates of PCP related arrests in Los Angeles follow over images of drug arrests (1:41). The rate of high school users increased (1:51) in Los Angeles County. Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman (2:12) discuss nationwide rates (2:20) and common age of first use in the US (2:19). Joanne details the cost of a joint dipped in PCP (2:35). Various methods of in taking the drug (3:39) follow. A helicopter swings in (4:15). News footage follows of drug arrests; six men struggled to tackle one perpetrator; handcuffs are snapped by a person swelled up with PCP (4:43). PCP masks pain while delivering extreme euphoria; users often report god like complexes while under the influence. The film turns to show the step by step effects of PCP use on a cheetah.

Note: this film contains racist portrayals in blackface makeup (1:50) that will be offensive to a modern viewer. See below for more information.

This 1946 film of "soundies" or music videos was released by Castle Films under the title "Songs of the South". This compilation of songs features a medley of “Showboat melodies” performed by The Marshalls including "I come from Alabama", "Way down upon the Swanee River" and "Camptown Races". It also includes the Dixiairs performing "Waiting for the Robert E. Lee" (2:51) and "Dear old Southland". The film includes imagery of Mississippi river steamboats. At (9:37) the "Golden Slippers" medley with "Dixieland" features African American singers and dancers in plantation type clothing, either depicting stereotypical happy sharecroppers or slaves. At (10:40), they are shown playing with dice. 

Blackface is a form of theatrical makeup used predominantly by non-black people to portray a caricature of a black person. In the United States, the practice became common during the 19th century and contributed to the spread of racial stereotypes such as the "happy-go-lucky darky on the plantation" or the "dandified coon". In the United States, blackface declined in popularity beginning in the 1940s and into the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, and was generally considered highly offensive, disrespectful, and racist by the turn of the 21st century, though the practice (or similar-looking ones) continues in other countries.

Presented by the Anti-Defamation League, "The Job" is a one-man play written by Malcolm Boyd and performed by actor (and pro football player) Cliff Frazier.  In "The Job", Frazier plays George Perkins, a public relations counselor and consultant for a movie about "the Negro in America" being made by CB Metro. There are discussions about exploiting race angles in the movie for financial gai, and publicity plans and announcements, including signing Harry Belafonte and other stars for the movie. Ideas for promoting the movie, such as inviting top Negro leaders to visit the set, arranging magazine layouts, and involving prominent figures like Martin Luther King Jr., are also discussed. Plans for the movie’s international premiere and fundraising for civil rights organizations. The play highlights the intersection of race, media, and Hollywood’s portrayal of African American history and culture.

Boyd (1923 – 2015) was an American Episcopal priest and author who was active in the Civil Rights Movement. Boyd was also active in the anti-Vietnam War movement. In 1977, Boyd "came out", revealing that he was homosexual and becoming a spokesman for gay rights. In 1965, Boyd published a book of prayers, Are You Running with Me, Jesus?, which became a bestseller.

Infantrymen stand waist high in thick water (:19) and stop for a smoke (:45). Close shots show the group cautiously crossing open areas (1:35) hanging close to the jungle treeline for coverage. A wide shot shows the company moving across the field (2:16). At (2:35) a camera slate is shown, using a Kodak film box, but whatever is written is illegible. The infantrymen line the perimeter of a field (3:10) and take prisoners. Captured persons are held at gunpoint (3:32).  The detainees are put on the ground, fists of hair in hand (3:54). Close shots show a possible Vietcong soldier being slapped on the top of the head (4:18). Prisoners are tied with their hands behind their backs (4:36).

Explosions, probably thrown up by howtizers belonging to the Riverine force, line the trees along the river as the group deploys (6:13). Soldiers deploy into the jungle via a canal or trenchline (7:42). Finally, footage that is low quality due to the fact that the film was mis-loaded in the camera. Here, a Huey medevac helicopter zooms in and lands (8:03). Forces of the Mobile Riverine Force cross a bamboo bridge and clamber aboard (10:07) a River Monitor or LCI.

This is a scan from a 16mm print made by the National Archives of the 8mm Zapruder film. It's not clear if it's a first or second generation print, but obviously it's not the original film. 

The original Zapruder film is a silent 8mm color motion picture sequence shot by Abraham Zapruder with a Bell &amp; Howell home-movie camera, as United States President John F. Kennedy's motorcade passed through Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963. Unexpectedly, it captured the President's assassination.

Although it is not the only film of the shooting, the Zapruder film has been described as being the most complete, giving a relatively clear view from a somewhat elevated position on the side from which the president's fatal head wound is visible. It was an important piece of evidence before the Warren Commission hearings, and all subsequent investigations of the assassination. It is one of the most studied pieces of film in history, particularly footage of the final shot which helped spawn theories of whether Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin.

In 1994, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. We collect, scan and preserve 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction.

Dating to the 1950s, this silent film documents an open gall bladder surgery or open cholecystectomy to remove the gallbladder and gallstones. The film shows most of the procedure but is missing the beginning portion. It begins with the neck of the gall bladder being gripped by a hemostat and the peritoneum dissection. It's unknown who performed the operation or where it took place. Gallbladder removal surgery, also known as a cholecystectomy, is a very common procedure. The gallbladder is a small, pouch-like organ in the upper right part of your tummy. It stores bile, a fluid produced by the liver that helps break down fatty foods. Surgery to remove the gallbladder is usually carried out if you have painful gallstones.These are small stones that can form in the gallbladder as a result of an imbalance in the substances that make up bile.

This vintage traffic safety film "When You Are a Pedestrian" was produced by Progressive Pictures based in Oakland, California. The film is quite gruesome and unnecessarily graphic, and definitely falls into the "scare film" genre.  It opens with images of a pedestrian hit by a Chevrolet Fleet Master as he steps into the street (:41). Two officers open the back door of the ambulance pulling an injured man from it on a stretcher (:49). The narrator mentions the injured man is himself. He is checked out in the hospital by nurse and doctor (:55). The blanket is draped over him and he is pronounced dead (1:08). Statistics over fatalities and injuries resulted from automobile accidents is heard (1:09). Images of automobile wrecks follow (1:14). Two deceased children (1:27) lie immobile from being run over by a car. A newspaper photograph of a driver thrown from his vehicle and killed is pictured (1:47). A stream of pedestrians cross at an intersection as cars attempt to cut in-between (2:07). A traffic cop raises his arms in signal (2:25). Pedestrians wait on the sidewalk (2:32). A man is hit as he steps from the curb too early (2:42). A man looks both ways prior to crossing a section without signal (2:56). An animation provides instruction on how to properly cross (3:02). Ground footage captures a man changing course midway through the section (3:34). He is nearly hit by a sleek black Chevrolet Stylemaster (3:38). Jay walking is demonstrated (4:03) as one of the more hazardous methods of crossing. A mother leads a child across the street incorrectly (4:17) instilling dangerous traffic crossing habits in her daughter. A soft top Oldsmobile (4:25) runs in front of the pair. They run to a kitchen ware...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c8514373-24b7-426f-9525-1390bbcc1776/c0bada9d-68c0-4bf1-91e6-22dafc231f24-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qJG5noCtgVqLRCBHLcLxWf</video:player_loc><video:duration>584</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T21:43:19.455Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hN6in9kyWvebMqtfmqADXm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f2b68dba-fb5c-4197-957c-e5a36ca240d1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>”DRUG ABUSE… ONE TOWN’S ANSWER” 1969 DRUG ADDICTION &amp; TREATMENT EDUCATIONAL FILM  XD80925</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1969 anti-drug film was produced by the Community Television Foundation of South Florida Incorporated, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Junior League of Miami Incorporated. It was narrated by Anita Bryant, famous for her homophobic activism and being a brand ambassador for Florida orange juice. It uses common childhood habits and activities, such as building a machine out of Lego blocks, to metaphorically illustrate the effects and dangers of drug abuse. The visuals of the film are very stunning but the examples used are somewhat bizarre.

This 1951 US Navy indoctrination and training film "The Military Surgeon in Amphibious Assault" looks at the important role of military surgeons in combat. The film uses footage from WWII, showing a landing under heavy fire onto a Japanese-held island in the Pacific. The film covers essential elements such as keeping in mind combat essentials, how to land supplies, where to set up an aid station, prioritizing and triage of patients, and how to run a fully-fledged field hospital once a bridgehead has been established.

This sex education film was created to educate students about sexual diseases such as gonorrhea and syphilis. Sexual education films are arguably more closely tied to film than any other subject in the public schooling system.  The first sexual education film was shown in schools in Eugene, Oregon in 1948. It was a 16mm called "Human Growth'. It opens with shots of sports fans in a crammed football stadium (:12). The camera pans over the players in the field (:16). The film turns to provide statistics on recent reported contractions of STDS. The stadium holds 100,000 and this number is used to explain the ratio of those with syphilis (:37) and gohnneria (:45). The number increases after five years (:52). Half of this portion was teenagers and this is the film’s target area. The organism known as syphilis is called 'spirochaeta'. This bacteria is zoomed in on through microscope (1:23). Today the bacteria is known as Treponema pallidum. The bacteria which causes gonorrhea is explored and is known as gonococcus (1:31). These bacteria can thrive in areas such as the trash can (1:42), dirty water (1:49) or unclean utensils (1:57). Soaps suds can kill the live bacteria (2:07). The door knob is not a place the disease can be contracted. Once the bacteria is airborne, it dies (2:07). An animation explains how the STD’s are passed through sexual conduct (2:55). Gonorrhea is passed only through the mucus membrane (3:46). The progress of growth of gonorrhea is explored in the males sexual organs (5:21) as well as the females (5:32). A pregnant woman can spread the disease to their unborn child (7:06). Students move through a school courtyard (8:07). A chancre sore appears on a patient's hand (8:...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2be2797d-f285-4ff6-9731-de7d4175b3c2/e7493f86-190e-44e8-b962-b438445260af-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6qiJKbjfZHXRF3YdTAiWSN</video:player_loc><video:duration>910</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T22:09:22.135Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bCv9w94jeo1R4PKQvZkxwB</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c644ffc4-6f2a-47c1-86bf-7e4d25603b27.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" V.D.: THE LOVE BUG " 1979 VENEREAL DISEASE EDUCATIONAL FILM  SYPHILIS, GONORRHEA, HERPES XD83095</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 20-minute documentary on the heroin epidemic in the United States was made by Concept Films in 1970 as part of an Encyclopedia Britannica informational film series. It contains footage of heroin users as well as interviews with individuals, often young adults, struggling with heroin addiction. The film appears to have been shot in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania vicinity. Viewers should be advised that the film contains graphic footage.

in 1970, when this film was produced, heroin addiction was on the rise in the United States. Among the epidemic's causes that this documentary explores, the increased availability is perhaps the most salient cause of the heroin epidemic affecting Americans.. The international drug market was complex and booming and there was an increase in the amount of heroin available for American consumption. The documentary traces the market from its origins in Turkish poppy farms to Istanbul and then Beirut from where it is smuggled to France and then the United States, at an enormous profit to all those involved. One of the reasons for the immense profits is that the pure heroin could be greatly diluted before its distribution to users. It was often cut with other drugs, potentially leading to overdoses and deaths. At the time, treatment for heroin addiction was hard to come by. The video follows heroin users who try to quit through various means including community organizations, group houses, and methadone clinics.

This 1973 film summarizes and publishes the findings of the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse (also known as the Shafer Commission), which was appointed by the U.S. President Richard Nixon in the early 1970s. The former chairman of the commission was former Pennsylvania Governor Raymond P. Shafer. The commission published its first report in 1972.  The second and final report was given to the President and Congress in 1973. The report published the commission’s findings and called for the decriminalization of marijuana possession in the United States. However, despite the report being ignored by the White House, it remains an important document in the movement to decriminalize pot. This film was produced and directed by Roy Nolan and Bob Gumpertz. It was edited and photographed by Roy Nolan.  

The film opens with shots of the hemp/cannabis plant (0:16).

During World War II, Paramount Pictures produced this 50-minute narrative educational film "The Story of D.E. 733" exclusively for the U.S. Navy. Also known as "Ship of Shame", the film aimed to address the prevalence of venereal diseases, the danger these STDs presented to the war effort, and prevention strategies. It stars Keefe Brasselle and features Eddie Hall, William Hall, Vivien Oakland, and Rory Mallinson.

Please be aware that the film contains graphic scenes of genitalia and discusses using condoms for protection.

Summary: This motion picture reinforces the message that contracting VD is not only a personal tragedy but could also affect the war effort. The information is presented as a narrative, rather than in the usual lecture form, in the hopes that sailors could identify with the characters and learn from their mistakes.  

Most of the movie consists of a flashback narrated by the ship's commanding officer. In this section, he recounts how the ship's downfall wasn't the enemy at sea but an enemy onboard: sexually transmitted infections. He describes how his reluctance to address this issue before the sailors' liberty at port led to a large contingent of the men contracting gonorrhea and syphilis. The crew ignored the doctor's warning to abstain or use condoms. Instead, when they landed at port, the men immediately sought women's company and later swapped stories of their time on land.

Most of the movie consists of a flashback narrated by the ship's commanding officer. In this section, he focuses on the consequences of the sailors contracting these venereal diseases.

This untitled, silent, color travelog dates to the mid-to-late 1950s and was taken by a Christian missionary traveling around Africa - likely working on healing leper colonies in Kenya and elsewhere. This film is likely paired with another film of a similar style made that depicts more of the missionary work. This particular film, however, depicts the pastimes of the missionaries such as hunting in the African savannah and observing the cultural customs of a local Maasai tribe. Please note, the film does include graphic footage of the deformities and injuries of local people suffering from leprosy that some people may find disturbing.

This film "Shoot Don't Shoot" is one of a series of law enforcement training films created by producer David Woroner and released by Woroner Films. It was made to show police officers what situations warrant the use of their firearm / deadly force against a suspect.

It stresses that under the law officers must consider the ability and opportunity of the suspect and his or her jeopardy or risk as an officer before shooting. This film was filmed in Miami, Florida and is a production of Woroner Films, a subsidiary of Motorola Incorporated.

The film was authored by the Encyclopaedia Britannica Educational Corporation and published by MCA DiscoVision, in collaboration with Doctor Walter Smartt, M.D., the Los Angeles County Public Health Department, and James N. Miller, Ph.D.

This 1978 film is a clinical analysis of the two major venereal diseases--gonorrhea and syphilis. The film illustrates prevention and what to do if a V.D.is contracted.

WARNING: THIS FILM CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT 

The film commences by providing a brief historical overview of venereal diseases (0:51), with the narrator specifically delving into the history of syphilis (1:20). A painting depicting Christopher Columbus, afflicted with syphilis (2:18) The narrator proceeds to describe the outdated treatments for syphilis, accompanied by cartoon-like illustrations (3:06). An advertisement for Dr. Hirst, a Victorian consultant, is displayed, demonstrating how people avoided mentioning the terms syphilis or gonorrhea (4:38).

The focus then shifts to the physician Alexander Fleming's creation of Penicillin (5:51). A graph is presented, comparing the mortality rates of various diseases with those of venereal diseases (7:30). The film pauses to allow the audience to discuss their thoughts on the subject (7:43). The symptoms of syphilis and gonorrhea are depicted in graphic detail (8:29). This is followed by a brief interview with a high school boy who refers to his syphilis as a "shanker" (8:52). A doctor appears on screen to explain that the disappearance of sores does not signify the eradication of the disease, illustrating this point using a rabbit (9:55).

(Note: Today the question of whether or not the bullfight is adhering to long standing traditions or simply senseless animal cruelty clouds the bull ring. Five states within the country of Mexico, for instance, have banned bullfighting.)

The film opens as a young woman steps from her modern condo home into her vehicle to join the spectators watching the parade (:08). The courtyard is littered with pedestrians awaiting the procession of floats surrounded by skinny palms and costumed dolls (:36). The building shown at (1:37) is the Edificio La Republica in downtown Lima. A line of costumed figures hang attached to the streetlights (1:40). Another appears in traditional Peruvian attire holding two baskets (1:50). A puppet in a black suit hangs in front of modern apartment homes (2:01). Puppets line the streets (2:09). The trolley passes by (2:15). A police officer on a motorcycle zips by the bottom right corner of the screen (2:19). A family waves to the camera from the back of their pickup truck (2:32). Mexican horsemen ride down the line with tiny red flags (3:11). They pause and blow their brass instruments (3:22). A large float appears with a donkey and a colorful clown (3:33). Red clowns play on the back of a truck (3:42). Women in green toss streamers into the crowd (3:46). A massive dinosaur float moves in behind (3:52). The Historic Center of Lima appears in the back left corner (4:17). A woman in white waves as evening settles over the parade (4:25). A bull moves around the center of the Plaza de Toros de Acho already stuck with banderillos (4:45). Two matadors taunt the animal with their muleta (4:48). A solo matador faces the bull (5:15) as spectators watch anxiously.  The pair move to the center ring (5:37). The bull lays down as three matadors approach (6:17).

This film is of a series of propaganda films created by the Signal Corps to be shown to industry workers during the war effort for WW2. It was produced by the Army Pictorial Service (:24) with cooperation of Combat Film Units from the Signal Corps Army Air Forces. The first section takes a look at the Nazi propaganda model (1:32). Physical weapons such as the “robot bomb” (1:48) weren’t nearly as dangerous as Hitler's propaganda model. This was developed during peacetime (2:09) and spread amongst the German population. Opposition was silenced, including the church (2:40). The propaganda was then spread to neighboring European countries (2:56). Nazi conquest began in 1939 (3:50). Hitler joined with Mussolini and Hirohito (4:04). The American public is shown to disapprove of Hitler’s prejudice based agenda (6:12). The ‘Great Floor’ segment shows the undertaking of building airstrip in China during 1944 (6:19). A map of China shows the Great Wall which had been constructed 1,500 years prior to the discovery of the United States (6:32). Children are viewed on the air strip as civilians were enlisted in the effort (6:58).

US Army Engineers are seen standing by to assist Chinese civilian workers (8:03). Locals arrive with wheelbarrows and other farm equipment (8:17). Workers set stones onto the ground by hand (4:02).

In the first film, “Jap Attack On U.S.S. Enterprise, 19 March 1945,” a Japanese bomb damages the Enterprise while the ship participates in raids on Japanese targets. The Enterprise is at sea with explosions going off all around the ship. Black smoke billows from the carrier. Men aboard the ship try to put out the blaze with firehoses (01:28).

A damaged plane sits with a broken wing (04:27); other planes suffered greater damage and sit destroyed on the deck. A crew scrapes off ash and other burnt debris from the ship. In the second film, “JBA On U.S.S. Nevada, 27 March 1945,” viewers see the aftermath of the ship taking a direct hit from a Japanese kamikaze plane. Footage shows Navy guns firing at targets in the air, likely a group of kamikazes (06:08). A part of the Nevada is hit and a fire burns on deck. A U.S. soldier holds a burnt Japanese flag aboard the ship (06:48), likely from the plane that crashed into the carrier. Men work to clean the deck, which is covered with debris and corpses.

This cautionary 1970 film produced by Studio Caf in Czechoslovakia, looks at the effects and possible benefits of LSD. The film showcases pioneering work performed by Miroslav Sajda, a chemist at the Military Research Institute in Hradec Krlov, east Bohemia. After news leaked that the U.S. Army was testing LSD on human subjects, Sajda helped prepare an LSD test on Czechoslovak soldiers to see how well they would perform while under the influence of the drug. He then went on to conduct studies with hundreds of civilians, and collaborated with filmmaker Vclav Hapl to make this film. "Dying of Thirst" ended up being banned by the authorities for almost twenty years. The film follows two people taking LSD, one a test subject and one undergoing psychotherapy. Both hallucinate in various ways with extensive animations attempting to show these hallucinations. The patient undergoing psychotherapy is uncomfortable through the process and ends up drawing her hallucinations in various different paintings, which allow the doctor to analyze the root cause of her psychological qualms. The film thus has a somewhat positive view of the drug when used in a clinical setting; but the film ends on a cautious note warning of drugs as the wrong way to escape the depersonalization of the modern world.

“Out of the Forest” is a silent, educational black-and-white film, part of a series called “Fox Hour Everyday Geography,” presented by William Fox, founder of Fox Film, also known as Fox Studios. It explains how wood is harvested from the forest, transported, then cut up into planks. The film begins with a view of a forest against a dramatic sky full of clouds (0:35).

At 0:47 we see a grand mansion. It is a fine example of a house built out of wood. Another example is the log cabin at 1:01. There is thick snow everywhere, and a pack of working dogs rest in front of the cabin. A man comes out from the cabin, and the dogs begin to pull him in a sleigh.

At 1:30, a long shot of a great forest with a lake just beyond it. Lumberjacks ride into the forests in their horse-drawn sleighs (1:48). At 1:59 a man hacks at a tree with an ax as his partner watches. At 2:05, they cut down the tree with a two-man saw. The tree falls (2:12). A team of men work together to parcel up the fallen tree into smaller logs (2:18). They transport the logs using a horse and sleigh (2:33).

Sometimes big logs are sent down a chute into a lake (2:55). They glide effortlessly away, falling into the lake with a large splash. Sometimes trains take the logs directly to the mill (3:30) -- the locomotive here appears to be a narrow gauge Climax locomotive. Other logs are left on the river bank until the ice melts in spring. At 4:08, a man stands on a pile of logs, as he steers his two horses, and at 4:17, men manually roll the logs down a pair of makeshift tracks in the snow.

The film shows lumberjacks having a good time while they wait for the spring break-up. Four men dance exuberantly in pairs (4:40), as spectators clap (4:46). They range from the very young to the old.

Once the river ice has melted, the men shove the logs into the river, and they f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2b53a5bf-82fd-4fac-8126-7ac4566e82ca/605622a6-64e5-45bd-bf0f-881b7d5b9318-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6miYEP5FnQArwYgoE2g5iY</video:player_loc><video:duration>799</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-01T23:35:08.917Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8uooYFYxwHasqdUwFqTWX2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/80c5b01e-1222-4eb2-94ef-e97dcfe29ae4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"A YEAR OF QUALIFICATION TESTING” 1965 NASA PROJECT GEMINI   MANNED SPACE FLIGHT PROGRAM  XD17324</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1965 NASA Film looks at the preparations for the Apollo Program and how the groundwork was laid for this during the Gemini Program. It starts with the major milestones of the Gemini program including manned missions, space walks, and longer periods in space for astronauts. It then looks at the development of the Saturn I rocket with footage of its components, the testing of the different components, and some launches. After this, there is detailed footage of the newly developed Saturn V rocket, including its stages and components being tested. It ends with some large construction sites at Cape Canaveral that will be needed to accommodate the eventual start of the lunar missions. This includes a new launch complex as well as the testing of the rocket transporters.

This educational film made by Burton Holmes Films for Vocational Guidance Films' "Your Life Work Series" (:08) displays advancements in radio and television. This series was specifically designed to inspire young post-Depression workers into new careers. Notably, the 1940’s held much growth for the television industry including the first televised airing of sports such as hockey and basketball. Meanwhile, commercial broadcast radio had now been firmly lodged into daily American life during the Golden Age of American radio (1930’s-1940’s). During the WWII, radio proved it's viability as a method of providing up to date information about the war front. Soon broadcasting stations would turn from the radio and begin dumping money into the television industry. The film remains largely on the radio industry highlighting it’s job market. It opens as a young boy inspects the inside of his radio (:32). He sets the tubes back inside the machine (35). A close shot follows of the vacuum tubes which are responsible for the boom in the radio industry (:36). Vacuum tubes transmit sound.

This film "The Incredible Journey" was presented by the Sinclair Refining Corporation (:18) and dates to the late 1940s / early 1950s. It presents a spooky narrative about why accidents happen and why safety precautions became more necessary as American industry and technology advances.The narrative centers around a character called Tom Wallace, who gets into a car accident that may or may not -- be fatal. 

The film opens with an auction at a local farmer named Al Steven’s home (1:01). Tom Wallace arrives (1:21) and Al’s story is told. A careless accident left Al paralyzed (2:17). Contradictory to this; Tom had just won an award for fifty years on his farm without an accident (2:56). Both stories were featured in the same paper. The auctioneer begins with a sale of utensils (3:22) as Al’s wife bitterly slams her window shut (4:04). Tom and family drive home as his wife expresses concerns over Tom’s safety (5:03).

This film is presented by the Stanford Research Institute and was produced by Graphic Films Corp. in 1954. "The City That Disappears" was meant to raise awareness on the effect of industrial and daily activities on aggravation of smog in Los Angeles. The Stanford Research Institute started research on smog in the late 1940s. Official synopsis: All too often, the City of Los Angeles disappears under a blanket of smog. This film details the cause... an inversion layer 1000 feet thick above the Los Angeles basin.       Adding to the problem are auto exhausts, industrial smokestacks and other smoke-spewing sources. We are shown laboratory scenes of how the Air Pollution Control District has been working to control the emissions that pollute the air.

At (4:52), another F-100 is shown, fuselage FW-757. The aircraft takes off and makes low passes and attack runs over the camera. At (6:19) is a brief shot of Los Angeles City Hall, followed by the airplane coming in for a landing. The film ends with a shot of an F-86D Sabre on the ground.

This 1969 episode of “Discovery ‘69” looks at the history, breeding, and racing of American Harness Horses. It begins with some footage of a young horse and how they are taken care of on a farm in Florida. This is followed by a historical overview of how the sport developed, from chariot racing in Ancient Egypt to the “plain man sport” of Harness Horse racing in 19th Century America. After this, a trainer shows how with incremental steps a harness horse is trained to start racing. The documentary ends with a harness horse race. (Note: Harness racing ended in Florida in early 2022.)

The Berlin Wall was a guarded concrete barrier that encircled West Berlin of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1961 to 1989, separating it from East Berlin and the German Democratic Republic.

Dating to July, 1965, this brief, silent film shows one of the simulators used in the early part of the Apollo Program. This was part of a lunar habitability study, which examined how large an air lock would be needed for the Lunar Module. The space suit shown in use appears to be an International Latex Corporation SPD-143, also known as the Apollo Developmental AX1-L spacesuit. In the test shown, a subject dons the spacesuit in the simulated air lock, and then emerges, seals the airlock door, and removes the spacesuit. All the while, the subject's vitals are monitored by a support team.

This documentary on waste management from 1970 explores “The Green Box” project implemented in Chilton County in the state of Alabama. It shows a time capsule of sorts in the story of American trash, with overburdened waste management organizations upgrading from small metal trash cans to a new platform for dealing with large amounts of garbage. The switch from open dumps to a containerized trash collection system utilizing green containers was part of a clean and green initiative of the county. The film is photographed by Theodore Jones, produced by Stuart Finley, and presented by the Chilton County Commission and the Bureau of Solid Waste Management Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Official summary: The Green Box illustrates a novel rural solid waste collection and disposal system developed by Chilton County, Alabama, to serve its 26,000 predominantly rural residents scattered over a 700-square-mile area. Four-cubic-yard containers located throughout the county are emptied every other day by a specially equipped packer truck. The county's old rat-infested dumps were closed and roadside maintenance problems have been solved. The film is designed to interest the lay public and assist local officials to devise workable rural solid waste management systems.

“From Rice Fields to Rice Pudding” (0:38) is a silent, educational black-and-white film, part of a series called “Fox Hour / Everyday Geography,” presented by William Fox (0:11), founder of Fox Film, also known as Fox Studios. This film illustrates the entire procedure from the harvesting of rice from the fields, to how it is processed to become the white rice that we use to make rice pudding.

A woman prepares rice pudding from 1:00. She carefully pours rice from a box into a measuring cup as her young daughter watches. From 1:17 she uses a strainer to wash the rice with water. She pours the rice into a pan, stirring in some milk. She adds sugar at 1:54. Then they place it in the oven (2:14).

The film now takes us to see the fields from whence this rice comes (2:42). A reaping machine can be seen off in the distance (2:51). From 3:10, close-up footage of water being pumped through, flooding the fields. Rice grows best in very wet ground. A man uses a shovel to help drain out the water from 3:41.

At 4:09, a close-up of the unharvested rice still in their hulls. The grains of rice are at the top of the stalks, in covers called hulls.

Men use reaping machines to cut down the ripe rice (4:31), and this same machine can be used to tie the rice into bundles called sheaves (4:52). 

Rice is threshed, much like wheat. At 5:30, a team of men shovels the sheaves into a canon-like machine, called a threshing machine. The sheaves are fed to the machine through a kind of conveyor belt (5:47), and the thresher blows out rice stalks and dust called “chaff” (6:29) forming rather large mounds. 

A man uses a machine to pack the rice into sacks (6:56), and yet another man (7:12) sews them up by hand. These sacks are then loaded onto a truck (7:37). As they lleave the field, a man waves his cap goodbye at the camera (7:54).

The sacks...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5b8a6927-1312-4b41-8f9e-0deed2bdc57a/83178e40-90fc-4f7a-bbb0-97dc2e065236-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ciC6ezwparzfKjY1YWVS8U</video:player_loc><video:duration>840</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T00:03:52.693Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gJai1x5SEMoMtjF2r1uaXh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0d208f0d-f426-44bc-9d02-838452e62af8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“JAMBOREE FOR FRIENDSHIP” 1967 FILM ABOUT EVENTS AT NATIONAL BOY SCOUT JAMBOREE IDAHO XD80655</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This film from 1962 promotes Cleveland’s greater urban renewal project, highlighting the demolition of deteriorated neighborhoods, the rebuilding and rehabilitation of residential areas, and the billion-dollar developments of highways, hospitals, schools, universities, and public spaces. The film, produced by General Pictures Corporation for the Cleveland Development Foundation, is written by Frank Siedel of Storycraft and reported by Chet Huntley. The film was promoting a massive effort to rejuvenate Cleveland, which included transportation and urban renewal projects. The two efforts ended up draining population from the central city and severely affected the East Side. The developments were largely viewed as a failure.

This 1963 Boy Scouts of America film looks at the different activities available at the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. The Scouts enjoy rough trail hiking, camping, shooting, fishing, archery, cattle work, forestry, riding and learn about rocks, gold and the early history of the area. The film constantly alludes to the rugged natural setting that can bring everyone back in contact with nature and a romanticized past. There is continuous footage of cowboys herding cattle and people riding horses through picturesque mountain scenery. 

The Philmont Scout Ranch is a ranch located in Colfax County, New Mexico, near the village of Cimarron; it covers 140,177 acres (56,728 ha) of wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains on the east side of the Cimarron Range of the Rocky Mountains. Donated by oil baron Waite Phillips, the ranch is considered one of the largest youth camps in the world.

The S-5 was the first helicopter in service in the Korean conflict, and the first to rescue an American pilot who was shot down. The helicopter UP-23 shown was featured in an article in the Naval Aviation News about the HU-1, and shown in service in Alaska. Also shown in the film, a military motorcycle (2:00) -- appears to be a Harley Davidson Knucklehead bike. 

The Sikorsky H-5 (also known as S-48, S-51 and VS-327) was a helicopter built by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation. It was used by the United States Air Force, and its predecessor, the United States Army Air Forces, as well as the United States Navy and United States Coast Guard (with the designations HO2S and HO3S). It was also used by the United States Post Office Department. The civilian version, under the designation S-51, was the first helicopter to be operated commercially, commencing in 1946. A British version of the H-5, was manufactured under license in Britain as the Westland-Sikorsky WS-51 Dragonfly. During its service life, the H-5/HO3S-1 was used for utility, rescue, and mercy missions throughout the world.

This 1938 film "Play Ball!" was produced by the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, and looks at important strategies that make the difference between winning and losing for baseball teams. It is narrated by Ford Bond and Harry “Moose” McCormick. The film begins with the importance of preparation, including various shots of a team’s Spring training. “Moose” is then introduced and starts going over important strategies for each baseball position. These include stealing bases, bunting, ball anticipation, signaling, double play combinations, and “cut off play”. The film includes many slow motion demonstrations of each strategy in action.

Made by an obscure company called Bengal Pictures, this 1950s short film "Gold Trails" is narrated by Perry King and produced by Phil E. Cantonwine. The film looks at some of the towns along the former Gold Trail in Nevada and California. Bengal Pictures' films were apparently made for the home market, and tried to visually tie into the "Western cowboy and Indian" craze which was sweeping the country at the time. This explains how a film about ghost towns and the gold rush era contains a gunfight!  In any case, this film begins with shots of Death Valley followed by scenes from Rhyolite in Nevada, and Columbia, Murphys, Mokelumne Hill, and Calico in California. The storyline is occasionally interjected with footage of gold prospectors who mostly shoot at each other, to highlight that these were violent times.

This 1956 educational film was produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films (:14) and is a revision of an earlier EB film. "Milk" shows the progress of the dairy industry in the United States. It tells the tale of how pioneers began by moving westward with their own dairy cows, how we changed the cow itself to encourage it to produce more milk and how we changed the industry and our homes to maintain this product. It opens with images of two women waving to a pioneer moving his oxen and cart forward (:23). Milk was considered a valuable food commodity and most pioneers felt it necessary to have a cow with them. Young children often watched as the adults would milk their cows (:47). The film notes cows during this time period in fact produced less milk than cows do today (1:02). After the cream is skimmed from the milk, it is poured into the churn (1:10). The young girl takes up the chore of churning (1:15). She then scoops out chunks of butter (1:34). A woman drags up the milk stored in the cellar (1:40). Milk generally would not remain cool enough to hold for very long using this method. Modern refrigeration (1:49) allowed the product to hold for several days. A Milkman delivers milk from his truck to the stoop of a resident in town (1:59). Two containers of milk and one container of cottage cheese is delivered (2:14). Cows graze amid the field of a dairy farm (2:17). Dairy cows are bred specially to produce more milk than a regular cow (2:23). Dairy farmers work to turn their grounds (2:27). A mother cleans a calf (2:34). Cows must have a baby in order to produce milk (2:36). The calf is taught to drink the milk from a pail as the mother’s milk is taken to be used for humans (2:45).

This brief historical film shows the infamous 1936 Olympics held in Berlin. Hitler was rising into power working to remilitarize German western lands near the Rhine River; an ominous and clear break of the Versailles Treaty. World War Two would erupt just three years later. In order to outdo the pervious LA Olympics in 1932, Hitler built a 100,000 seat stadium. Jesse Owens of the US would become the most successful athlete of the 1936 Games winning four gold medals. Please note: this film contains the political symbols of the Nationalist Socialist regime then in power in Germany, and the flag, swastika and eagle, may appear on screen. Periscope Film absolutely condemns the Nazi regime and affirms that that regime committed grave atrocities, war crimes, and crimes against humanity before and during WWII. These include the tragic, mass extermination of millions of innocent civilians. We preserve these films in part so that these terrible events and victims are not forgotten.

This film is presented by Special Enterprises (:09). The Olympic flag waves (:26) prior to Nazi flags (:30), a strange and stark contrast. Soldiers march (1:03), crowds rush forward in the streets of Berlin (1:17) and Hitler heads to open the 11th Olympic Games (1:21). The lead ship of the Hindenburg Class; the LZ-129 Hindenburg floats above (1:26). It too would be ill fated and perish in a fiery crash in 1937 (1:26). Greek athletes march in (1:36). A shot of the stadium from above shows the jammed seats (1:40). British athletes (2:03) precede the US team (2:16). Hitler takes his post at the podium (2:22).

Dating to the Apollo era, this NASA film shows a spacesuit mobility test. The film, which was taken home by a NASA contractor and stored in a garage, was exposed to high humidity and/or high heat. The dyes on the Kodachrome film became liquified, and have separated from the emulsion and re-solidified. The film is severely damaged as a result, but while the visuals here are barely recognizable, what's left has a beautiful, psychedelic, aspect of its own that is worth a watch!

Dating to the Apollo era, this silent film shows footage of a test subject wearing what might be a prototype spacesuit, performing simulated tasks in a neutral buoyancy tank. It's not precisely clear what the test was intended to simulate, but the subject appears to be trying to fasten cables to a circular array (almost looks like a satellite dish?) using a hand-held tool. The spacesuit being used is best seen at about 20:00, appears to be a A4-H Apollo Developmental suit, made by International Latex Corporation for Hamilton Standard, or possibly a Gemini G4-C spacesuit.

S. Atomic Energy Commission and is designed for the training of rescue workers, nurses, therapists, hospital administrators, physicians, police and firemen by explaining the proper procedure and protocols, highlighting the superstition that those patients might present a danger to personnel. The film is produced by Motion Picture Service USDA and Judd Scott, written by R. Stephen Brode, directed by Robert G. Keifer, edited by Robert L. Boyer, and photographed by Wolfgang Schubert and Ronald G. Stangl. Official summary: The film shows the techniques for proper handling of radiation accident patients; how to use simple detection instruments; radiation injury aspects of first aid. The film points out that the unfounded fears of some medical and paramedical personnel must not be allowed to close the door on assistance to radiation patients. The film helps audiences understand that radiation cases have parallels in routine rescue squad and hospital experiences.

To test designs of new Apollo spacesuits, and to understand the types of tasks that astronauts could perform in low or zero gravity, a large neutral buoyancy tank was employed. This film shows SCUBA divers and a test subject in a spacesuit in the tank,  negotiating using handholds on a grid which is made up of hexagons.  (Note: the grid is a bit hard to see in the film). Similar grid-like structures were used aboard the Skylab space station.

Produced by Coronet Films as part of the Coronet Educational Films series in 1950, this black-and-white educational short titled “The Meaning of Feudalism” discusses, as the title suggests, the feudal system that flourished in medieval Europe between the 9th and 15th centuries and the castles that acted as the center of life. This particular film looks at how feudalism evolved in France and how remnants of this medieval model of government continue to be found across the country. The film follows a young French boy, Jacques, as he takes the viewer on a tour of a local medieval castle in his village. Educational collaborator William young Ph.D., Divisional Director of the University of the State of New York, worked with Coronet Films group to make this film. Coronet Films (also known as Coronet Instructional Media, Inc.) was a leading producer and distributor of many documentary shorts shown in public schools across America from the 1940s through the 1980s.

Dating to the Skylab era, this short, silent (and badly water damaged) film shows mock-ups of the proposed Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) workstation for use aboard Skylab. These mock-ups were likely used for assessment purposes during the design phase. The ATM was a crewed solar observatory that was a part of Skylab, the first American space station. It could observe the Sun in wavelengths ranging from soft X-rays, ultra-violet, and visible light. The ATM was manually operated by the astronauts aboard Skylab from 1973–74, yielding data principally as exposed photographic film that was returned to Earth with the crew.   The ATM console was designed to accommodate either a standing or a seated crewman and consisted of the ATM console, the foot restraint platform, an optional chair-type restraint, and a speaker intercom assembly (SIA). Long-term monitoring of status displays and visual scenes with potential quick reaction to dynamic situations represented the spectrum of tasks to be supported by the ATM workstation.

This silent, slightly water damaged footage shows a NASA astronaut dexterity test performed in a neutral buoyancy tank. The tests appear to involve the movement of a simulated instrument package (seen at 2:12) and then the removal of a plug (4:13) and replacement of the plug with a device retrieved from the package (6:38). This type of test is typical of the Apollo era, where astronauts were expected to remove experimental packages from the base of the Lunar Module or LM. Tests would commonly begin with a series like the ones shown, using test subjects in scuba gear, before progressing to subjects in spacesuits. It's not clear what package is shown here, but it might have been simulating one of the components of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP), which were stored in the Lunar Module's Scientific Equipment (SEQ) Bay in two separate subpackages, or a task designated for Skylab crew.

This film shows basic mobility tests for one of the first prototype spacesuits submitted by the International Latex Corporation to NASA. The SPD-143 model was part of the 1962 Apollo program suit competition. NASA called the suit an AX1-L (the designation "A" for the Apollo program, X for experimental, 1 for first in a series, and L for manufacturer ILC) or the "Modified Training and Evaluation Suit". The suit's peculiar look, with joints and connectors forming an exoskeleton, was to allow an assessment of these parts. Twenty SPD-143 suits were made for training and assessment, and used for early evaluations of the Lunar Excursion Module (later changed to Lunar Module) and the Command Module. Note that the  helmet shown lacks an eye protection sun visor. Vic Vykukal was the principal investigator of the AX space suit series.

"The Pencil and the Plow" (1958) was made by Atlas Film Corp. and sponsored by the Sinclair Oil &amp; Refining Corp.  The film begins with a discussion of the state of agriculture in the USA during the late 1950’s. During this time period farmers began to move from producing blind towards analyzing trends in market in order to increase profits as the US economy and world economy evolved.  After the close of WWII, markets and consumer needs changed. Packaging of goods at the market place also changed as farmers were encouraged to sell more goods which consumers would be known to buy. Farmers were also able to operate with better knowledge about weather patterns (1:41). This film is presented by the Sinclair Refining Company (2:15) and directed by Louis J. Marlowe (2:15). The Department of Agriculture participated in the production of this film (2:24). The film introduces a narrative of a family in order to display these advances (2:51). A farmer; Carl, and his son; Lonnie work to patch the farm house roof (2:51). A second son; an artist named Frank, works to paint an image of the barn (3:09).

The radio became viable source for information for commercial farmers. At home, Lonnie and his wife await Frank and his partner (9:00).

This (somewhat water damaged) NASA footage likely dates to the Apollo Program era. It shows a test subject wearing a prototype spacesuit and helmet performing a simulated repair task. Interestingly, the subject is wearing a space helmet that appears to have a 16mm motion picture camera or a magnifying device attached to it.  This could also possibly be a solid state dynamic respiration measuring device; a device of this type was developed for NASA in 1964.  It's not clear when this footage was shot or the precise nature of the simulated task.

This film shows the dangers of driving commercial trucks professionally as part of driver’s education. It displays various truck drivers; some cautious and others fatally dangerous. The film opens as cargo is loaded into the back of a truck for delivery (1:32). A newborn baby lays peacefully in a Fairbanks-Morse scale (2:13). A massive truck is then weighed at 72,000 pounds (2:26). A child drives a pedal car (2:42). Truck drivers meet at a rest station (2:47). A Pershing tank rolls on screen (3:05). This film is presented by Highway Safety Films Inc. (3:11). The title screen follows (3:44) as one Ford truck driver brakes within enough distance from a recreational vehicle stopped in the middle of the road. This is compared to a truck without proper brakes that turns into a killer crushing the small vehicle. Two men sip coffee while reading the newspaper with a headline about a truck driver whom caused the loss of three lives (3:59). As the drivers leave the diner, the camera follows the pair to demonstrate careless and dangerous driving versus professional truck driving (4:51). One driver loads into the Dearman Transportation, Co. truck, made by International Harvester now Navistar (4:55). The truck driver who is considered to be a ‘drive for pay guy’ (5:13) appears moving down the highway. This driver is noted to have a bad driving history (5:30). The tire on the reckless driver’s truck explodes due to poor maintenance (5:46). He chooses to keep driving the truck regardless of the busted wheel (6:00). The cautious driver reflects upon a Safety Banquet from the past (6:18) during which he; Jack, was awarded the Truck Driving Safety Award (6:40). Jack navigates between red and white barr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2fb7dff2-8c4b-4690-abc6-7fb739b33067/2a5c68a2-80e5-43f8-adfa-ffd97e0703f4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6TLdxqBzGZ6Bjicwh7GnrH</video:player_loc><video:duration>1683</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T01:08:17.855Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xnkoW2EYBr9LAn2MoMjURb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fcb12a8f-04f5-4742-b2e4-5026dace2294.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA NEUTRAL BUOYANCY TANK  SPACESUIT MOBILITY TESTS   SKYLAB OR APOLLO PROGRAM XD46784</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dating to the Apollo era, and probably the lead up to Skylab, this silent NASA footage shows a test subject in the neutral buoyancy tank. The test subject wears a spacesuit and attempts to maneuver through a simulated environment unassisted. At 3:46, the test subject performs a retrieval task, opening a container, removing items and placing them on the next "level" of the environment.  The spacesuit shown in use might be a Gemini design. Tests such as these were critical in assessing the ability of astronauts to move in spacecraft (and later space stations) while in spacesuits.

The narration is provided by Don Morrow and cooperation of Oakland California Police Department and Covina California Police Department. It was produced in 1972 for the Motorola Teleprogram Center by Harry Moses Productions. The film shows approaches to family disturbance police call or 415-F. The police respond in two different ways: (1) using a thorough problem-solving approach, where officers take up to two hours to deal with an alcoholic's problems and to provide counsel; and (2) the quick referral response which minimizes officer's time off the street. Interesting studies in crisis management, with no stand taken in either direction.

This film "Forces" is presented by Encyclopedia Britannica (:13) as a tool for education. It was part of a series called "Science for the Space Age". The series was apparently created as part of the Space Race era effort to produce American scientists and engineers. The film delivers an instruction on force, how it can be used, various forms of force and how it can either temporarily adjust an object’s form or permanently alter it. The film was produced by Larry Yust (:25). The first segment uses a variety of tools such as a beach ball (:29) and a rope for a game of tug of war (:38) to demonstrate force. When both amounts of applied force are equal, nothing moves (:43). When one end of force becomes weaker; as a young girl drops to the sand during the game, (1:05) the center of the rope moves. A beach ball is rolled down the shoreline (1:13). When another group of (1:24) children applies force to the opposing end of the ball it stops. An athlete demonstrates the curve of the planets rotation around the earth (1:57) using an iron ball. A young girl and boy press together a beach ball to temporarily change its shape (2:35). Hands force a sponge together releasing water (2:54). A spring balance is used in demonstration (3:03). Another example utilizes coat hangers, rubber bands and a ruler (4:07). A paper clip is not elastic enough to spring back into original form if the applied force is great enough (4:12). Clay is pressed in a man’s fist changing it’s shape (4:46). Merry go round lights at a carnival flick on screen (5:04). The Strongman is visited as he bends a thick metal pole (5:24). A light and young girl steps onto a see-saw with the Strongman (5:48). She is still able to lift the Strongma...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/54b7119b-1796-4075-aadf-e86b4e32b9a3/d68147bd-ddf1-4708-9f98-4d73bfd4447f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bsJKmYnRefH99odgbM1mo8</video:player_loc><video:duration>788</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T01:12:38.285Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fbezc1ymjra884BU2CR4eg</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7cccb4c4-9c42-4256-ba2e-9242107188b9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" ROAD TO ADVENTURE U.S.A."  1960s ROAD TRIP THROUGH UTAH'S CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK XD72164</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1960s driver's education film explains how to drive safely on freeways. Produced by Charles Cahill &amp; Associates, Hollywood, California, the movie follows several different drivers, each with their own concerns, and offers some helpful advice on how to enjoy fast, safe driving. It was filmed in both Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area.

Film opens with a montage of cars rushing over the Golden Gate Bridge, and on California freeways (0:12). From 0:24, a variety of people speak about both the joys and troubles of driving on the freeway. (:31) a man drives a Ford Thunderbird convertible. An older lady (0:49) drives slowly with white gloves; the fast traffic makes her nervous. Other drivers also feel that driving safely is a difficult task. A professional driver in a dark green Kenworth semi-trailer truck squints and shakes his head (1:04).

Title card: “FAST SAFE FREEWAY DRIVING” (1:19)

At 2:23, Mr. Willoughby in his Studebaker Lark slows down, nervous and hesitant as he tries to merge with oncoming traffic. At 2:48 a Desoto Fireflite is seen in traffic. Approaching the traffic too slowly is a common problem, and it is dangerous.

However, the aggressive driver in a red MG Midget convertible is too hasty (3:14). He honks at Mr. Willoughby and yells, “Why don’t you drive it or park it?” Instead of getting to his destination faster, this jackrabbit lane-changer gets pulled over by police (3:46). Mr. Willoughby passes by, laughing (4:09).

A woman in a headscarf drives a Plymouth Valiant convertible. She carefully pulls over by the side of the road at 4:20, cautiously waiting for help. Close-up of her problematic tire at 4:32. Two other cars skid to a sudden halt (5:30). Following too closely behind another car can cause a major tragedy.

This silent footage shows spacesuit dexterity tests. It likely dates to the Apollo Program era. Some of the tests seem to involve servicing of the Lunar Module's descent propulsion system (aka lunar module descent engine). The spacesuit shown at :27 appears to be an Apollo SPD-143, also known as the Apollo Developmental AX1-L, made by ILC Industries starting in 1963. (ILC stands for International Latex Corp., based in Dover, Delaware.). A second suit is used at 3:47, looks similar to a rocket fuel handlers suit such as that used with the Titan missile. It's probably a Navy Mark IV. The goal of these tests was to study how different suits and gloves affected dexterity with simulated tasks, such as using a tool (possibly a ratchet or wrench) at :28, or loosening a hose connection at 1:14. At 4:16, the test subject assembles an electrical switch and uses a ratchet at 4:30 to tighten it down.

Directed by Bob Hiestand, and reported by Ken Peters, this is an episode of the obscure 1950s TV show "Success Story" that each week originated from “somewhere” in southern California. This episode is about the Stauffer exercise machine and the assembly line process to manufacture it. The Stauffer "body shaping" machine was an early muscle toning or exercise machine. Stauffer's Magic Couch claimed it would vibrate your fat away, helping you shed the pounds while lounging.. It proved controversial: roughly 10 years after this film was made, Stauffer was sued by the Federal Trade Commission for making false claims related to the effectiveness of the Posture-Rest. The Commission determined that the couch "has no value or usefulness in accomplishing the asserted results" and its decision was confirmed by the courts.  "Success Story" was sponsored as a public service by Richfield, makers of Richfield 1030 Motor Oil and Richfield Gasoline. See also this related film: https://youtu.be/Q3VRs02llq8

The film begins with footage of the Golden Gate Bridge before showing Sealab III (:55) on a barge, being towed by USS Cahokia (ATA-186), a Sotoyomo-class auxiliary fleet tug. At (3:00) two unknown men with 16mm movie cameras shoot footage of Sealab on its way out the Golden Gate. The man at (2:35) is holding a Bell &amp; Howell Filmo type 16mm camera. At (5:30) there is an aerial shot of the barge under the Golden Gate Bridge, followed by additional shots of the barge transiting the San Francisco Bay. 

SEALAB III used the refurbished SEALAB II habitat, but was placed in water three times as deep as the original SEALAB II experiment. Five teams of nine divers were scheduled to spend 12 days each in the habitat, testing new salvage techniques and conducting oceanographic and fishery studies.  In February 15, 1969, SEALAB III was lowered to 610 fsw (185 m), off San Clemente Island, California. The habitat soon began to leak and four divers were sent to repair it, but they were unsuccessful. During the second attempt, aquanaut Berry L. Cannon died. The SEALAB program came to a halt, and although the SEALAB III habitat was retrieved, it was eventually scrapped.

"Revolt in Berlin" dates to 1954, roughly a year after riots shook Soviet-controlled East Berlin. It is an anti-Communist film produced by Providence Bible Institute. The prologue of the film features Dr. Howard W. Ferrin, president of the Institute. The movie depicts a man named Chris's voyage from America to Germany, where he intends to write articles on human interest topics such as refugees from East Germany and the Christian situation there. Additionally, he aims to convert Erika, a woman he fell in love with during his last visit to Germany, despite her aversion to religion and communism. In the latter part of the film, Bill, Erika's boss, and Chris have dinner, during which Bill informs Chris about the impending 1953 uprising in East Germany. The film showcases footage of the 1953 rebellion. According to a press release, it also contains smuggled pictures of Communist trained youth groups. The film features Imogene Kelly, Walter Vovell, Ethel Barrett, Paul Haueter, Herber Kumller and Klaus Schrotler. Director: David Ferrin

This film "Fares Please!" was produced by Potteries Motor Traction, a former Stoke-on-Trent bus company, as part of a series of "Coaching Journal" public relations films. It probably dates to the 1950s. The film looks at all the steps that are needed for its double decker Leyland buses to operate. It was produced by John W. Jones, directed John F. Speed, and photographed by Ian Hudson and Jack Sheppard. PMT or Potteries Motor Traction is now First Potteries bus company, which is still based in Stoke-on-Trent and operating services in North Staffordshire, England. It is a part of First Midlands and a subsidiary of FirstGroup.

It starts with the construction of the double decker and single decker bus as well as all the safety driving tests that it has to go through, which is followed by the training of the crew. There is also an animation of how the bus schedule functions and the complications associated with this. Finally, there is footage from the daily operations of the bus including the crew involved, as well as regular maintenance and cleaning. The film features wonderful color shots of red double decker English busses.0:07 Title “PMT Presents: Fares Please!”, 0:28 0:53 men bent over tables looking at a diagram of a bus, 1:21 man operating a machine, 1:41 man assembling an engine which is then tested, 2:18 a man testing fuel delivered to each cylinder, 2:27 bus bodies being created, 3:00 men testing a new bus design by driving a course, driving on a racetrack, doing water testing, testing suspension, doing brake testing, 4:54 a newly constructed double decker bus doing a tilt test, 5:27 men preparing routes on a table, 5:43 two men measuring if a tunnel is high enough for a bus t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/df1979f3-1d1b-452e-9298-e761e9ef3156/01fa3fea-2ee4-47a9-bff5-987e5259ee79-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/txRM29T7poL3fNEsu2Wp3E</video:player_loc><video:duration>1263</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T01:33:27.329Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/scJe8Ux2EksVaTXPg9VmJx</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/af6a0102-5cff-4e1c-ae7c-9df5b4cde59b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FEMALE CONTORTIONIST  1940s CIRCUS SIDESHOW NOVELTY FILM   XD82895</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This episode of Bill Burrud’s “True Adventure” series dates to the early 1960s and takes a look at sights in and the history of Death Valley in California and Nevada. It begins with men looking through human remains to explain where the valley got its name. The rest of the film follows a jeep in its journey around the valley driving on unpaved roads. It begins with “The Devil’s Golf course”, followed by sand dunes, graves, and abandoned prospecting towns like Skidoo and Rhyolite in Nevada. The film also seeks to contrast the harsh climate, with surprising shots of water in the desert, either in the form of salt creeks or pumped from deep underground.

This 1960 film was created for the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). It intertwines the development of unions with the history of the US at large, as an example of continuous progress. It looks at the first major steps after the industrial revolution, followed by massive changes made under FDR in the name of labor well-being. The second part looks at the benefits of unions for everyone, including its members and the wider public, by introducing higher wages and more spending in local communities. It ends with a short speech by AFL-CIO head John Meany, who lauds the progress that has been made but demonstrates that more needs to be done so that the children can live a better life. The film was directed by Bill Buckley, with Melvyn Douglas, Ronnie Gilbert, Joe Glazer, and Tommy Makem.

This episode of the TV show “Kingdom of the Sea” dates to 1956 and showcases a hacienda or resort called Las Cruces on the Baja California in Mexico. It follows an interview format and is co narrated by Bob Stevenson and John D. Craig. The focus is mainly on fishing, it begins with a small group spear-fishing stingrays. This is followed by relaxation opportunities including at a pool and on the beaches near the Hacienda. The group then begins deeper sea fishing for swordfish with a woman in the grouping spending a long time fighting with one until it can finally be brought on board. It ends underwater footage on how to rescue someone that is drowning. The Historic Rancho Las Cruces still exists, and is an exclusive Baja seaside resort located on a natural sanctuary of more than 10,000 acres and 7 miles of private pristine coastline.

This General Motors Corporation film "Accent on People" dates to 1973 and was likely made in response to a perceived crisis in the American auto industry, which was losing ground to imports from both Germany and Japan -- imports which were perceived by the public as having better quality. The film provides a detailed report on GM programs and strategies implemented to improve the company in reference to the efficiency of production and the quality of products, for both management and employees. Upper-level management figures speak on the specific programs tested within their divisions, followed by the largely positive results of the efforts. The film is produced by the Bill Sandy Company, Inc.

This silent, slightly water damaged footage shows a NASA astronaut dexterity test performed in a neutral buoyancy tank. The tests appear to involve use of a tool (seen at 3:00) to remove a pin, or series of pins, holding a transparent case in place. Once the pins are removed, the test subject moves the case to the bottom of the tank. This type of test is typical of the Apollo era, where astronauts were expected to remove experimental packages from the base of the Lunar Module or LM. Tests would commonly begin with a series like the ones shown, using test subjects in scuba gear, before progressing to subjects in spacesuits. It's not clear what package is shown here, but it might have been simulating one of the components of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP), which were stored in the Lunar Module's Scientific Equipment (SEQ) Bay in two separate subpackages.

The film is about the volunteer Red Cross nurses who cared for wounded American GIs as they returned home from Vietnam and other air bases around the world like in Japan, Hawaii, the Philippines, and Alaska. Hosted by actor James Stewart (who served in the U.S. Army in WWII as a private and at the end of WWII was a colonel in the Army Air Corps), the film opens by highlighting the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter whose job it was to bring wounded and ill servicemen home from Vietnam. The film then depicts various scenes of Red Cross nurses at work at The Ponderosa outside of Washington D.C. where they nursed soldiers back to health and helped reunite them with their families.

The film features scenes that cut between archival WWII footage of Seabees at work in the Pacific Theatre and Europe and returned Seabees navigating their post-war lives and jobs. Naval Construction Battalions known as Seabees were conceived of as replacements for civilian construction companies in combat zones after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Seabees are still active today and most recently aided in the “War on Terror” being deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in the early 2000s to aid in infrastructure repair in the two countries.

This film "Challenging Careers in Chemistry" was produced by Motion Picture Service and presented by the Agricultural Research Service at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). It probably dates to 1958 or 1959, and serves as an announcement of the A-R-S Summer Trainee Program to persuade undergraduate and graduate students of Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Chemical Engineering to join. The film shows different opportunities that ARS brings to young researchers, such as freedom to explore the latest equipment, receive research associateships &amp; fellowships, prompt publication of research results, career service benefits, attractive salaries, and advancement based on research accomplishments. The film is also educational in the sense that it provides step by step guide to certain chemical processes.

Dating to around 1965, this longform promo film advertises the Kaiser Aluminum Corporation's Mirawal panel products. It begins by going over the different types, including aluminum, stainless steel, enamel, textured, with rock, and even used as chalkboards. It then covers the production process of two different types of panels, one based on porcelain enamel and the other is rock based. Finally, it looks at different applications of the panels and at what locations they have been used. This includes in industry, restaurants, schools, and civic centers. One of the more famous example is the Terminal Market at Hunt’s Point in the Bronx. Some Mirawal products may have contained asbestos, Miraspan and Fire Wall wall panels were used for fireproofing in some instances.

The LM is moved through the building on a crane. The location is almost certainly the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building on Merritt Island, Florida, which is where the spacecraft would have been mated with the Lunar Module Adapter. The film is dated January, 1970 so most likely this is footage of the LEM named Aquarius which was on board Apollo 13. That mission was launched on April 11, 1970.

The Lunar Module (LM) – originally called the Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) and still pronounced “lem” after the name was changed – was the spacecraft that allowed the Apollo astronauts to land on the Moon. The Lunar Module (LM) was built by the Grumman Corporation in Bethpage, NY.

The footage also includes strike and protest activities on college campuses around the country including Berkeley and Stanford. The footage begins with shots of a protester's sign indicating 45,598 American deaths in Vietnam (the final tally when the war came to a conclusion was more than 58,000).

SOUND CARTOON XD14214</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films? Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

One of the "Aesop's Fables" series of cartoons released by the Van Beuren Corporation, "Jungle Jazz" was originally released on July 6, 1930 and was directed by John Foster and Harry Bailey. The plot of this strange, synchronized sound cartoon is simple: a dog and a cat encounter strange creatures in the jungle and are eventually captured by terrifying cannibals. Fortunately they are able to escape. (Please note: the cannibals shown in the film are caricatures that will offend a modern audience; unfortunately, similar images appeared in many cartoons of this era.)  

The Van Beuren Corporation was based in New York City and produced theatrical cartoons as well as live-action short-subjects from the 1920s through 1936. It was founded by Amedee J. Van Beuren, who ran the business, and Paul Terry, who oversaw the animation studio up until 1929. When Terry left the business to form his own Terrytoons studio, John Foster (director of this toon) took over. The Van Beuren studios remained in operation until union labor troubles and a stroke suffered by Amedee Van Beuren led to its closure in 1935. The company's library changed hands several times and many of the titles eventually made their way onto television in the 1950s. 

One interesting aspect of the Van Beuren Studios is that the company released the first sound cartoon in history, Paul Terry's "Dinner Time",  a month before Disney's Steamboat Willie debuted in November, 1928.  "Dinner Time" wasn't as sophisticated as "Steamboat Willie", and didn't succeed with audiences.

It seems that this was some sort of open house or show for the public, as many civilians are visible throughout the film. It features footage of various demonstrations, including rescue at sea, as well as various aspects of flying in the SNJ-4 advanced trainer, including practice landings aboard the USS Monterey (CVL-26). The Monterey, which was decommissioned in 1956, was a WWII era Independence-class light aircraft carrier. The North American SNJ-4 Texans shown are single-engine, tandem cockpit monoplanes which were developed as a design modification from the BT-9 basic training aircraft first adopted by the Army Air Forces in 1935. 

Jets perform a low pass in the blue sky. An intentionally set fire is seen, with U.S. Navy firemen showing how they put out the flames. Simulation of a rescue at sea of an aviator in a life raft by helicopter. A group of civilians observe as a Piasecki HUP Retriever/H-25 Army Mule is shown performing the rescue operation. (The Retriever is a compact single radial engine, twin overlapping tandem rotor utility helicopter).  HUP-1 flies out over the water and performs a rescue maneuver on a person in a raft. Helicopter takes off and does a 360. Drops out of the sky hard onto the tarmac to deposit the pilot "victim" and get him to a waiting military ambulance. The helicopter goes into the sky, flies, comes in fast for a landing, spins around while hovering above the ground, flies off again.(:09-3:11). Motorcycles escort a Twin Coach military bus, frequently these were used as a mobile command post or hospital. Crash-into-water simulator (3:27) slams into a pool. Radar tower on USS Monterey bedecked with battle stars and silhouettes from its extensive WWII service (3:12-4:23). People walk around. Navy band plays.

It starts with the mining and processing of the individual ingredients including limestone, sand, and soda ash. Then there is a demonstration of a man in a lab coat creating glass on an “artisanal” scale to demonstrate how the process works. Finally, it follows the production of windows on an industrial scale from the glass factory to the window factory until they end up in a house.

This 1976 film "Championship Chase / A Ride on the Wild Side" was produced by the Kudu Aeroseacraft Corporation, the American Powerboat Association, and Dick Wallen. It looks at three stages of the “Championship Chase,” a series of 10 open ocean point races for power boat racing. It covers races in Southern California, St. Petersburg, and Miami Beach in Florida. The footage is mostly close up of the boats racing and features famous powerboat racers such as Joel Halpern, Bob North, Larry Wood, Betty Wood (a female champion) and Rocky Aoki -- the Japanese-born American amateur wrestler and restaurateur who founded the popular Japanese cuisine restaurant chain Benihana.  The boats, including Aoki's Benihana #4, are always accompanied by helicopters, making for spectacular close up and wide picture shots. The Kudu Aeroseacraft Corporation was the parent company of KAAMA Racing, widely regarded as one of the most successful offshore powerboat racing teams in history.

This short film shows the launch of the ocean liner Queen Elizabeth 2 on September 20th, 1967 and includes footage of the Queen herself at the launch (:59). At 1:10 a bottle is broken against the side of the ship and it slides down the ways. At 1:38, 1400 tons of chain are dragged behind the ship to slow its movement. At 2:05 it is moved by tug boats in the Clyde River. 

Queen Elizabeth 2, often referred to simply as QE2, is a floating hotel and retired ocean liner originally built for the Cunard Line, which operated by Cunard as both a transatlantic liner and a cruise ship from 1969 to 2008. Since 18 April 2018, she has been operating as a floating hotel in Dubai.

QE2 was designed for the transatlantic service from her home port of Southampton, UK to New York, United States and was named after the earlier Cunard liner RMS Queen Elizabeth. She served as the flagship of the line from 1969 until succeeded by RMS Queen Mary 2 in 2004. QE2 was designed in Cunard's offices in Liverpool and Southampton and built in Clydebank, Scotland. She was considered the last of the transatlantic ocean liners until Queen Mary 2 entered service.

She was launched and named on 20 September 1967 by Queen Elizabeth II, using the same pair of gold scissors her mother and grandmother used to launch Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, respectively. On 19 November 1968, she left John Brown's fitting out berth. Several industrial disputes with the Clydebank workers, with their resultant delays and quality issues, forced Cunard to transfer the ship to Southampton, where Vosper Thorneycroft completed the installation and commissioning work, prior to the sea trials.

Sea trials began on 26 November 1968 in the Irish Sea, proceeding to speed trials off the Isle of Arran.

Cunard initially refused to accept the ship, as the sea trials iden...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f0a8a295-bb3c-4216-8655-6a58c20f4803/83e2b6f3-afab-455d-99af-6516a09aa078-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vHBTKxuzX7gpBgi7m1wsC4</video:player_loc><video:duration>143</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T02:15:21.423Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sZdspKgLiyi6sxMkLDF4NT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d69c4c20-dfd2-460a-82ea-578353fd12fc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940 KODACHROME HOME MOVIES OF MARDI GRAS  NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA   XD81815</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Shot by G.L. and Mrs. G.L. Pease of Otter Lake, Minnesota, these extraordinary color home movies of Mardi Gras in New Orleans date to the year 1940 (at least -- that date appears on screen on the Jax float seen at 2:28). Many of the images were shot on Canal Street,  and the movie "Swanee River in Technicolor" (released 1939) is visible on the front of the movie theater seen at (2:24). The footage includes both daytime and nighttime images of revelers, floats, and street performers.

This black-and-white short comedic film is one of the many episodes of Jim Hawthorne’s Funny World, a short comedy series from 1960 that served as "filler" in between broadcast scheduled shows and live TV. "Funny World" featured vintage stock footage with hilarious, and often completely incongruous, voice-over by Hawthorne. This one features, and makes a mockery of womens fashion by showing footage of ladies wigs and hats from a Parisian atelier, London sports car club parade, and a stunt performance show by performer “George Soot.” The footage is interrupted on numerous occasions by scenes from a boxing match 

Short TV programs such as this one were very popular at this time in order to fill random chunks of time where a TV program either was too short or advertisers hadn’t purchased a commercial break. Jim Hawthorne (November 20, 1918 – November 6, 2007) was an American radio personality and comic actor whose career began as a disc jockey.   

Upbeat music begins to play, opening graphic of map of North and South America that eventually becomes a globe (0:08).

This collection of music shorts and soundies -- 1940s musical shorts / music videos -- features prominent African American artists. It also features what are known as "Reverse Soundies" (explained below). The reel begins with "Harlem Medley", including "Tuxedo Junction" sung by Edna Mae Harris, followed by Hilda Rogers singing "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" at (2:48). At (5:22) the Mills Brothers perform "Cielito Lindo". This is followed by a "reverse soundie" -- a film made to be projected through a special Mills-Panoram musical jukebox (it used a mirror, thus the reversed titles). First, "The Counts and the Countess" performing "I've Got to Be A Rug Cutter", followed by "Half Past Jump Time" starring Mabel Lee. At (13:47) "Tap Happy" is performed by Slim and Sweets. At (16:56) "Brother Bill" is sung by the Jubalaires. This soundie, like many others with an all-African-American cast, was directed by William Forest Crouch. (Crouch also directed the feature-length musical race film "Reet, Petite, and Gone.") At (19:28) "Every Day is Saturday in Harlem" is performed by Hilda Rogers. At (22:00), "Tain't Yours" is performed by Una Mae Carlisle. At (24:46), "Taps" Miller performs "Song and Dance Man". 

Edna Mae Harris (1914 – 1997), was one of the first African–American film actress of the late 1930s and early 1940s, appearing in films featuring mostly African–American casts.

This film is an episode of Jim Hawthorne’s Funny World, a short comedy series that dates to 1960. Some of these shorts were used as interstitials in early television, when live shows might not be long enough to cover an hour. The show relied on amusing stock footage clips and Hawthorne's patented droll, gag-laced, dry narration. This one shows footage of blindfold stunts on a skyscraper (:15), trained monkeys playing a piano and performing other stunts, (:49) people sliding on icy, windy streets probably in Chicago, at (1:23) a manned, pipe cleaning cart is shown. At (1:55) a spinning wheel is shown in use. At (2:03) a lit candle is shown followed by an hourglass and a clock that used water to track time. At (2:43) a ridiculous aircraft is shown.

Shot surreptitiously by a U.S. Navy sailor at or near the Gold &amp; Silver Bar, this 1950s silent home movie presents a rare look at pre-revolutionary Havana's red light district. This is the Cuba of dance halls, slummy bars and working girls, where booze flowed for sailors on leave, and dollars quickly changed hands in exchange for intimate favors and tourist trinkets sold by street urchins. Although the material is frustratingly hard to assess due to its poor exposure and sloppy camera work, this film nevertheless presents a fascinating glance back at the Bautista era.

Cabell Calloway III (1907 – 1994) was a singer, songwriter, bandleader, conductor and dancer. He was associated with the Cotton Club in Harlem, where he was a regular performer and became a popular vocalist of the swing era.

Made by an obscure company called Mizzell Films, this gag short "Gay Gay Hollywood" dates to the era before or just after Stonewall, when gay and lesbian subjects remained hidden in the "celluloid closet". This type of film would have seemed daring in that era, for it's revealing and celebratory nature, and it was likely screened only in front of select audiences. The short opens with Looney Toons music and then shows various clips from Hollywood feature films that, like the title of the film, are full of double entendre. It includes a segment from a Little Rascals short, a performance by Glen Campbell (who ironically was a well-known homophobe), and a segment from a Gene Autry singing cowboy western, as well as a Jerry Lewis bit with Jerry in drag.

This extraordinary film “A University Goes to War” dates to WWII and was produced and distributed by the Extension Division of the University of California. The film depicts seven University of California campuses as centers of patriotism striving to educate and train the next generation of democracy defenders. California was a major contributor to the WWII effort. California's long Pacific Ocean coastline provided the support needed for the Pacific War and the climate was ideal for growing food. The UC schools were major contributors to this by aiding in the research and development of new systems key to winning the war and training cadets through the ROTC curriculum.

This film is an episode of Jim Hawthorne’s Funny World, a short comedy series that dates to 1960. Some of these shorts were used as interstitials in early television, when live shows might not be long enough to cover an hour. The show relied on amusing stock footage clips and Hawthorne's patented droll, gag-laced, dry narration. This one shows footage of a stuntman dangling from the bottom of a biplane, (:36) German girls training for wheel gymnastics including in a pool (:59), trick riding practice by a circus performer followed by an elephant trained to hit golf balls (2:00). At (2:10) a man stands on the back of the elephant. At (2:23) ridiculous pioneer aircraft that cannot fly are shown. At (2:51) an escape artist is shown being placed in a box which is then lit on fire, but he makes a good escape (3:14). 

Wheel gymnastics (German: Rhönradturnen) is a form of gymnastics that originated in Germany. Wheel gymnasts do exercises in a large wheel or hoop known as the Rhönrad, gymnastics wheel, gym wheel, or German wheel, in the beginning also known as ayro wheel, aero wheel, and Rhon rod.

“The Brand of A Champion” (1939) is a b&amp;w promo film (with a short color sequence at the end) made for the Pabst Brewing Co. Narrated by Alois Havrilla, this film takes the viewer on a tour of the brewery, offering an intimate portrait of the science, engineering, and passion that goes into making the "quintessentially American Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer". In this era the brand was strongly associated with athletics and winning in general. No wonder: the Pabst "Blue Ribbon" brand won "America's Best" at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.

This silent file footage from the 1970s shows Taiwanese troops involved in a live fire military exercise on the island of Quemoy.

Kinmen, alternatively known as Quemoy, is a group of islands governed as a county by the Republic of China (Taiwan), off the southeastern coast of the People's Republic of China. It lies roughly 10 km (6.2 mi) east of the city of Xiamen in Fujian, from which it is separated by Xiamen Bay.  Taiwan stations as many as 55,000 troops on the offshore island. Kinmen's strategic location in the Taiwan Strait has led to numerous confrontations, making it a tangible embodiment of political change on Cross-Strait relations. In August 1958, Kinmen was heavily bombarded by the People's Liberation Army during the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis. Travel restrictions between Kinmen and the main island of Taiwan were lifted in 1994 following the end of decades-long military administration over Kinmen.  The People's Republic of China (PRC, China) claims Kinmen as part of its own Fujian Province and considers Wuqiu to be a separate territory of Fujian apart from Kinmen itself; conversely, the ROC claims the Dadeng Islands (Tateng) as part of Kinmen, even though the PRC has effectively transferred the jurisdiction of those islands to Xiamen.

This black-and-white film is a Sid Davis Production from 1954 made in cooperation with the Los Angeles Board of Education and the Los Angeles Police Department. Sid Davis produced many similar educational films during the 1950s and 60s. In this film, a teacher and a police officer teach a group of schoolchildren the safety practices when having to bicycle or cross streets, by demonstrating the distances it can take bicycles and cars to stop when considering their speed and the driver’s reaction time. 

“You Can’t Stop on a Dime” title banner (00:24). School children are seated on rows of benches in a schoolyard to participate in a traffic safety class (00:43). A safety teacher introduces the class accompanied by a police officer (00:53). Children raise their hand to volunteer to assist the police officer in a demonstration (01:16). He selects two students (01:18). He gives the students instructions (01:37). One of the two students starts running when signaled to (01:51). He stops running at the sound of the whistle from the police officer (01:56). Two students measure the distance between the student’s position at the sound of the whistle and the position where he stopped (01:57). Then second students attempt the same experiment but walks instead of running (02:22). The distance between the position of the student and her position when the whistle sounded is measured (02:33).

“Psychiatric Nursing: The Nurse-Patient Relationship” (1958) is a nurse training film that underscores the healing powers of the nurse-patient relationship for troubled patients. Produced through a grant from the Mental Health Education Unit, Smith Kline &amp; French and in collaboration with medical professionals from Duke, Rutgers and the Arkansas State Hospital among others, this scripted film follows the story of a trainee nurse, Susan Davis, from her first day on the ward working with her patient Trudy to eight months later when Trudy speaks for the first time. Shot throughout the women’s ward of the New Jersey State Hospital Greystone Park, this film offers valuable historical insight into the attitudes and medical practices towards psychiatric patients.

This film is an episode of Jim Hawthorne’s Funny World, a short comedy series that dates to 1960. Some of these shorts were used as interstitials in early television, when live shows might not be long enough to cover an hour. The show relied on amusing stock footage clips and Hawthorne's patented droll, gag-laced, dry narration. This one shows footage from a silent film comedy or vaudeville act of a sausage factory, a segment with an old woman who rings bells at a German or Swiss cathedral, who is fed by a basket of food sent up to the tower by rope. At (1:48), an aircraft windvane is shown at a WWI era airfield. At (2:22), a large house is moved across a lake or river by tug boats.

"The Executioners", aka "Hitler's Executioners", dates to 1961 and was based on articles by Joseph J. Heydecker and Johannes Leeb in "Münchener Illustrierte". The narration was also written by Heydecker and John Leeb; the film was directed by Felix Von Podmanitzky and produced by Joseph Harris. The movie tells the story of the Nuremberg trials, contrasted with events that took place before and during WWII, as the Germans took over much of continental Europe and began a reign of terror. Chilling testimonies by the defendants (who do not show any signs of remorse) are shown, including that of Herrmann Göring, Alfred Seyss-Inquart, Rudolf Hess, Konstantin von Neurath, Joachim von Ribbentrop, and Alfred Rosenberg. Part 2 looks at the defeat of Nazi Germany with footage from Stalingrad and the Eastern Front, and from D-Day, through the arrival of American troops in Germany. The film chronicles the horrific crimes of Joseph Goebbels and other German leaders. Footage from the Bergen-Belsen, Dachau, and Auschwitz extermination camps is shown, contrasted against the criminal proceedings against Göring, Kaltenbrunner, Sauckel, von Neurath, and Fritzsche testifying and making their final pleas. At the end of the film, Karl Herrmann Franz is led to the gallows and executed.  The Nuremberg trials were held between 1945-46 by the Allies against representatives of the defeated Nazi Germany, for plotting and carrying out invasions of other countries, and crimes against humanity. The trial served as the foundation for international criminal law.

This 1960s documentary produced by the Rentokil Film Unit covers cockroaches as well as means to exterminate them. It begins with a short history of how cockroaches came to be so prevalent and the environments which they favor. This is followed by the life cycle of cockroaches including mating, laying eggs, hatching, molting, and development of pigment and wings.

This film is an episode of Jim Hawthorne’s Funny World, a short comedy series that dates to 1960. Some of these shorts were used as interstitials in early television, when live shows might not be long enough to cover an hour. The show relied on amusing stock footage clips and Hawthorne's patented droll, gag-laced, dry narration. This one shows footage of a group of people looking for a needle in a haystack as part of a contest, footage of firefighters using some kind of foam generating system in the 1920s, (1:29) Victorian era silent comedy film footage of an actor getting his hand stuck on a sheet of fly paper.  At (2:11), a man's bald head is inspected as part of some kind of pattern baldness or bald man club. At (2:50), blindfolded boxers are shown in the ring. At (3:34) some three card monte is shown with cups.

This documentary was released by the Center for Mass Communication at the Columbia University Press in 1949. The film portrays an African American family living on Palmour Street in Gainesville, Georgia. It stands apart from most other films from the 1950s, by depicting the everyday life of an African American family, different from the standard narratives of stereotypes and racism otherwise common during this period. The film is presented by the Georgia Department of Public Health in cooperation with The Hall Country Health Department. It is written by George Stoney and photographed by Bill Clifford, with music by Louis Applebaum, sound by Phil Bangs, and commentary by Rev. Wm. Holmes Borders. W. A. Mason, M.D., M.P.H., and E. E. Butler, M.D. were chief technical advisors, and it was directed by George Stoney and Bill Clifford and produced by Southern Educational Film Production Service, Athens Georgia. The film was described this way by the National Film Preservation Foundation: "Neorealist mental health film produced for parents and health care workers.

This historic film from Germany (and with voiceover in German) shows footage of the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin, Germany. This was quite an ominous Olympics held prior to the start of the Second World War, and the film contains many pro-German elements which can be considered as propaganda. Hitler constructed a massive stadium specifically for the Olympics in order to outdo the previous 1932 Los Angeles games. Hitler saw the games as an opportunity to begin to push his government and racial ideas on an international stage. This is also the Olympics during which Jesse Owens won four gold medals for the USA in spite of harsh criticism against participating in the games (which of course were held in a racist country whose leaders believed in eugenics and the so-called "master race" theory).  

The film opens with an ad for Bayer (:37). The outside of the Olympiastadion (:37) in Olympiapark Berlin in Berlin. German flags line the wall as pedestrians await the start of the event (:47). Adolph arrives to begin the 11th annual Summer Olympics (2:40). The LZ-129 Hindenburg floats above Berlin (3:28). The camera enters the stadium (4:03) panning over the jammed seats (4:54).

This black-and-white, film noir style movie from the 1960s tells the story of a 15-year-old criminal, Warren, who is sent to the Rancho San Antonio Boys Home for court-ordered boys, after getting caught stealing from a liquor store. It promotes the methods of the home in the process of rehabilitating criminal adolescent boys. The film is narrated by John Dehner. Rancho San Antonio still exists today. It was actually founded in 1933 by the Catholic Big Brothers, in a rented home in Redondo Beach. In 1938 it moved to its permanent home in Chatsworth, CA. Since the 1950’s, the Knights of Columbus have provided most of the fundraising for Rancho San Antonio. The Rancho campus sits on 19 acres, and includes dormitories, dining hall, gymnasium, infirmary, recreation complex, football and baseball field, group home, career resource center, and administration building which currently provides service to 106 boys and their families.

Dating to 1945, this short film "March of Progress" gives a short overview of the Great East Bay Area public transport system in San Francisco, aka the Key System. The Key System (or Key Route) was a privately owned company that provided mass transit in the cities of Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, Emeryville, Piedmont, San Leandro, Richmond, Albany, and El Cerrito in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area from 1903 until 1960, when it was sold to a newly formed public agency, AC Transit. The Key System consisted of local streetcar and bus lines in the East Bay, and commuter rail and bus lines connecting the East Bay to San Francisco by a ferry pier on San Francisco Bay, later via the lower deck of the Bay Bridge. At its height during the 1940s, the Key System had over 66 miles (106 km) of track. The local streetcars were discontinued in 1948 and the commuter trains to San Francisco were discontinued in 1958. The Key System's territory is today served by BART and AC Transit bus service.

The film begins with a short history and some images of how things used to look a the turn of the century. This is followed by the innovations in transport brought through the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, which was the highest technological standard for rail control at the time. This is followed by the onset of the war and a quick overview of how the transit company contributed to the war effort. It ends with some renditions of possible future trolley and interurban cars.

Produced by the American Dairy Association by Bob Atcher Films, Inc., this short film from the 1960s is both a home economics instructional film, and a promotional for dairy products. The film examines some of the new ideas in the kitchen that a girl learned in her home economics class. She also shares these with her mother. The film particularly focuses on a new ingredient “instant non-fat dry milk” and the girl uses this to make different recipes for a party, such as meatloaf, a pie, brownies, pizza, and a punch. The mother is constantly accompanying her daughter and is impressed that she is learning many new things as well.

“Potted and Printed Circuits” (c.1950) is a black-and-white film made on behalf of M of S Elliott Brothers and the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE), the main UK r&amp;d  organization for electronics during and after World War II. The film illuminates the process that was used to develop potted and printed circuit techniques. It was produced by H. Dewhurst, camera by L. Dawson, and directed by E.B. Sudbury.  (Note: printed circuit boards (or PCBs) contain an electronic device’s most critical components. PCB potting protects circuit boards by filling a PCB enclosure with a liquid material called a potting compound or encapsulation resin.)
The film also shows an early computer, probably the Elliott Brothers' Elliott- Nicholas computer circa 1952. Elliott Brothers merged with English Electric Co. and eventually ICL (International Computers Ltd.)

“VASCAR” (1966) is a color, informational film produced by the Indiana State Police that sheds light on the Vascar (Visual Average Speed Computer and Recorder) device. Invented in 1966 by Richmond-area real estate agent Arthur Marshall, Vascar was used for calculating the speed of a moving vehicle and revolutionized the way police were able to monitor speeding vehicles. The film is composed of scenes of Indiana State Police patrolling highways and detailing their step-by-step use of the Vascar device. Vascar is still used by police officers to enforce speed limits, and may be preferred where radar or lidar is illegal, such as some jurisdictions in Pennsylvania, or to prevent detection by those with radar detectors.

Movin’ On is a 1968 documentary presented by the United Transportation Union and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainment that was produced and directed by Harold Mayer. It recaps the history of the American railroad, with an emphasis on the people who built the railroads and operated the lines. Illustrations and monochrome photographs constitute the majority of visuals in the first half of the film, which also features folk music from the respective decades. The film opens with contemporary footage of men working on trains and railroads. The film shows scenes of American countryside as trains pass through. Illustrations and photographs take viewers back to the birth of trains, as they show early train models, the first railroad men, and the first train stations in American towns and cities. Illustrations depict Irish immigrants arriving in the U.S. and living in impoverished conditions. A photograph shows Abraham Lincoln visiting troops during the Civil War (06:00). There are also photos of the first “Troop Trains,” images of trains and tracks blown up, and general scenes of death and destruction from the Civil War (including fields and town streets strewn with corpses). A photograph shows Lincoln’s funeral train as it takes the late president home to Springfield, IL (07:28). There are photographs of men mining for gold, going to Omaha, a railroad going through mountains (09:51), and pictures of American wilderness. The film then shows photographs of the race to complete the transcontinental rail line between the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroad companies: Chinese men build the rail line for Central Pacific (12:35); “Hell On Wheels” towns spring up with saloons, housing, and more; Native Americans are caught in the conflict of the railroad expansion and displaced; a train engine is stuck in snow (16:26); and Chinese workers rest in snow fields next to track construction. A photo shows Promontory, UT (17...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/96260dae-fbd7-4751-82d1-1b0cc74c51d2/6647c280-41ff-460e-be1b-3854577bd586-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jxnUBk3NNrELDRaWCFLEmA</video:player_loc><video:duration>1715</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T03:47:32.529Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aN9V6FyS7mCkccjDh1piqC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2f6778b0-4849-4b11-ba90-4d9721208b0c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s HOLLYWOOD BLVD.

This raw, silent footage was shot during the Occupation of Alcatraz (November 20, 1969 – June 11, 1971), when 89 Native Americans and their supporters occupied Alcatraz Island and the derelict federal penitentiary, which closed in 1963. The footage is partially edited, and might represent an unfinished "rough cut" of a documentary film about the protest and especially John Trudell, a spokesman for the Indians of All Tribes (IAT) group. (At one point in the footage, signage for the College of Alameda is visible, so perhaps this footage was shot by a student or faculty member). 

The IAT protest on Alcatraz began shortly after the federal government declared the island surplus land, and plans were made to develop it.  IAT claimed that, under the Treaty of Fort Laramie between the U.S. and the Lakota tribe, all retired, abandoned, or out-of-use federal land was to be returned to the Indigenous peoples who once occupied it. Red Power activists felt that the island qualified for a reclamation; the subsequent Occupation of Alcatraz had a brief effect on federal Indian Termination policies and established a precedent for Indian activism. The effort was led by Native American activists Richard Oakes, LaNada Means, and others. Despite difficulties including the death of Oakes' young daughter in an accidental fall, the group lived on the island together for 19 months. Finally, the U.S. government.shut off all electricity to the island and made it difficult for water to reach the occupants. After a fire destroyed a number of buildings on the island, the number of protestors began to diminish. On June 11, 1971, a large force of government officers removed the remaining 15 people from the island.

Created by Random Films, this historic documentary shows the highlights from the 1957 Le Mans 24 hour race, the 25th running of the famed race. It starts with an overview of some of the cars and the teams featured including Teams Maserati, Ferrari, Jaguar, and Aston Martin. This is followed by the excitement of the opening ceremony of the race. Afterwards, there is coverage of various shots of the 8.38 mile course, hard racing, pit stops, cars being left behind, and exciting night racing as the race goes on. It ends with the pit crowds rushing the drivers as they pull in after finishing the race, with a resounding victory for Team Jaguar. It was an unprecedented sweep for the British, taking the first four places and sixth. The victories are even more surprising given that all of the cars were privately entered.

This black &amp; white educational film is about the new "modern" India vs the traditional, simple India that has existed for thousands of years. The movie compares rural village life to that of people who live in a modern city. At the time the film was made, India was a British Colony. This film was made in 1942 by the Film Advisory Board, a British government entity charged with making informational and propaganda movies. It features a wonderful score, and a commentary by Robert Stimson and was directed by Ezra Mir and A. Bhaskar Rao.

This late 1950s infomercial "Truck Route to Better Records" promotes the electronic tabulation and calculating computers offered by Univac for the trucking industry. The film emphasizes how a computer will save time in the office by taking over routine tasks from employees and allow the business to grow through a more timely and accurate provision of statistical information. The film mainly shows the different features of both the Remington Rand Univac 60 (1952) and the Univac Solid State Computer (announced 1958). The infomercial makes a detailed and tailored business case towards potential enhancements in the trucking industry. It was produced by Univac.

This promotional film for the Challenger tank, "Firepower, Protection, Mobility" dates to 1983 but contains footage dating back to at least 1979.  The FV4030/4 Challenger 1 is a British main battle tank (MBT) used by the British Army from 1983 to 2001, when it was superseded by the Challenger 2. The Challenger was built by the Royal Ordnance Factories (ROF), entered service with the British Army in 1983, went out of production in 1990. Each tank cost around £2 million. Withdrawals of British Army Challenger 1 began in 1998 and it had been completely replaced by Challenger 2 by 2001. The last Challenger 1s were in service with Jordan, but retired in 2023. 

The film begins with footage from WWI of an early British tank, followed by WWII designs fighting in North Africa, and then the Centurion (:36) which went into service in 1948. At (:50) the Chieftan main battle tank introduced in 1968. At (1:07) the new Challenger is shown during testing.  At (1:48) the interior design of the tank is shown in a diagram.

Originally restricted, this WWII training film "Vehicular Firing M5 Light Tank" shows a "preflight" readiness checklist performed by the crew, and then focuses on the role of the gunner, who is tasked with operating the 37mm gun. After a combat training exercise, the procedures for shutting down and stowing the tank are shown. The narrator focuses on the role of the Stuart in taking out enemy machine gun, anti-tank, and emplacement positions -- but notes at 1:40 that it was "never intended" to take out enemy heavy armor, especially at long ranges. The instruction provided is to close with 400 yards of an enemy tank, and then aim the highly-precise 37mm gun at an enemy tank's weak spot (such as the tread).  At (2:15), a Stuart crew is shown at a practice range. The crew is described -- first the tank commander / assistant gunner / coaxial machine gunner is shown, the gunner, a bow gunner in charge of the bow machine gun and assistant driver, and the driver (3:00). At (3:15) steps to start the tank are shown including warming up the vacuum tube based interphone. At (3:52) the tank is buttoned up. At (4:15) the .30 caliber machine gun is inspected and made ready. At (5:12) the turret is unlocked and traversed. At (6:26) the gyro control unit is put to vertical and the gun freed. The stabilizer and stiffness of the gun is adjusted (7:00) to keep the recoil uniform. At (7;29) the gas line for the motor is opened.

Dating to 1953, "Once a Scout" was produced by the Boy Scouts of America as a recruiting tool. The film takes place in small town America, in a place called Midvale, and extolls the American values that are promoted by Scouting. At 1:00, a man named Ike Stewart arrives at his office for another workday. The narrator talks about how Stewart is a great asset in the workplace because he knows how to listen, and because he knows how to take criticism constructively, and how to learn from others. These are parts of his personality that he owes to his time as a Boy Scout. At (2:20), Stewart is seen as a young man in a Boy Scout uniform, sitting by a camp fire with an older man, his Scout Master (2:43). At (3:00), Stewart takes feedback from his boss Mr. Lane, while the narrator speaks about the importance of appreciating companionship of co-workers -- and again, the narrator attributes Stewart's easy social grace as part of his Boy Scout training.

This 8mm home movie was shot during the Vietnam War by Peter Orsino, who worked as a U.S. Army chef in Southeast Asia in 1965-66. He did not see combat, but worked primarily in rear areas during the conflict. This particular footage appears to have been shot in and around Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City and includes recreational shots of troops. The number of troops in southern Vietnam at this time amounted to 184,300. One month prior, a pause in the bombing was enacted by President Johnson and was still in effect. Operation Marauder took place in the early parts of the month with Operation Masher and Double Eagle in the latter parts. 

The film opens with images from the holidays with a tiny dog and tiny Christmas trees (:05). An army cook prepares chicken wings on a grill for service men (:37). Shots of troops during recreation time enjoying smokes, booze and barbeque (1:44). The camera moves over cooks in the kitchen area (2:27) as they work to prepare what appears to be a ‘Happy New Year’ meatloaf (2:57). Men outside of barracks with cases of Miller in the background (3:22). They continue to roast over the barbeque occasionally horsing around in light festive spirits (3:43).

This 8mm home movie was shot during the Vietnam War by Peter Orsino, who worked as a U.S. Army chef in Southeast Asia in 1965-66. He did not see combat, but worked primarily in rear areas during the conflict. This particular footage appears to have been shot in and around Saigon. It shows a military meeting involving a man who might be General Carl C. Turner -- the podium (15:17) seems to indicate this is the case.

This 1970s promotional film showcases the new and improved model 300CQ Sky Knight helicopters. At the time, these helicopters were being introduced into police fleets. The "Sky Knight" model was a purpose-built 300C for urban police patrols, with a muffler and other noise attenuating materials and design changes to reduce the helicopter's noise signature by 75%. The Sky Knight was a development of the Hughes 269 light utility helicopter and was first produced in the early 1960s. It was later manufactured by Schweizer Aircraft, and currently produced by Schweizer RSG. The basic design has now been in production for over 50 years. It features a single, three-bladed main rotor and piston-powered engine, and is mostly used today as a cost-effective platform for training and agriculture.

Peter J. Pitchess, the Sheriff of Los Angeles, stands in front of a Sky Knight helicopter describing how helicopters can benefit the police force (00:09). Close up the signage on a helicopter reads “City of Long Beach Incorporated 1897 Police Department.” The helicopter rises and flies over the harbor and a large ship, the retired RMS Queen Mary.

This 1970s film "Stop and Frisk - Search" is from a series of training films called "Legal Information for Law Enforcement." This film features legal information for law enforcement regarding stop and frisk searches (pat downs). The “stop and frisk" rule originated from the Fourth Amendment's language regarding unreasonable searches and seizures. The policy allows police to stop and “pat down" anyone they suspect may be committing, have committed, or are about to commit a crime. This film looks at different examples and situations that might arise and whether these constitute lawful grounds for searching someone. The footage is mainly of police officers in Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach, California either pulling people over or stopping them on the street and searching them on the basis of different contexts. Several suspects are found to be carrying marijuana to demonstrate that such “accidental” finds do not endanger the lives of officers and do not constitute probable cause for a search, making the evidence inadmissible. This film features David R. Disco, Deputy District Attorney, as the instructor. It was produced and directed by Richard S. Scott, M.D. (Richard Stanley Scott), a filmmaker who began his career as an emergency room physician, and later became an attorney who attempted to help terminally ill clients die. The movie was filmed by Robert Maxwell and edited by David C. Dobson. Actors include Paul Condylis, Peter Manos, Alice Carter, Bonnie Clarke, Carol Dillon and Roger Reinhart. The technical advisors for the film were Captain Eugene Cavanaugh and Detective French Walls.

Produced by the Princeton Film Center in 1943, this WWII film for Boeing entitled "Flying Fortress" looks at the development and production of the B-17 “Flying Fortress” bomber. It looks at the first designs as well as initial testing of models, equipment, and finally the first flying aircraft. There are tests in wind tunnels, as well as altitude and cold temperature tests. The production process is also shown, including some of the “secrets” of how the bomber can be built so fast. This includes a modern production line, different parts fitting like puzzle pieces, and innovative employees making suggestions to improve the production process. A recurring theme is the increased efficiency in production that can only be achieved through all types of people working together in the factory.

"Panama and the Canal Zone" is a short educational film that utilizes footage provided by the Cunard Steam Ship Company, which operated ocean liners that plied the Caribbean route in the 1930s. At the time it was made the Canal was considered a tourist attraction -- an engineering marvel of great importance to the United States. The film begins with footage of a church or cathedral in Colon, and scenes shot in the Canal Zone. At 1:00 a ship, presumably one of the Cunard vessels, is shown transiting the the Gatun Locks. (Note: There are twelve locks in total along the Canal. A two-step flight at Miraflores, and a single flight at Pedro Miguel, lift ships from the Pacific up to Gatun Lake; then a triple flight at Gatun lowers them to the Atlantic side.) At 2:46 the Gaillard Cut, also known as the Culebra Cut, is shown. This is a man-made valley that cuts through the Continental Divide.  At 3:11 are shots of Panama City.

This 1930s film looks at the racing career of an extremely successful horse named “Seabiscuit.” It begins with footage from the horse’s early life including training and an inauspicious start to his racing career. This is followed by pan overs of the races that the horse won after being bought and trained by Charles Howard and Tom Smith. The final part of the film shows Seabiscuit’s decisive win against “War Admiral” at Pimlico. The film was produced by Robert M. Connell and adapted and directed by Manny Nathan.

This short clip reel shows visionary electric vehicles from the late 1970s. First, a prototype built by EAC, the Electric Auto Corporation, which emerged around 1980, at the height of America's second gas crisis.EAC built the Silver Volt, a plug-in hybrid based on a contemporary Buick station wagon—16 years before the GM EV1. At (:50), a Bell System electric van is shown. This was one of hundreds produced by GMC for AT&amp;T in 1979.  These zero emission vans were evaluated in the Bell System's service fleet; it's unclear how the test results were assessed. At (2:09) company chairman Jon Samuel of EAC is seen being interviewed; unfortunately the audio for this interview has been lost. According to an online reference, a prototype limousine vehicle manufactured by EAC had a top speed of 70-mph and a cruising range of 120 miles at 30 mph, and had an on-board auxiliary engine for recharging batteries and running the accessories and air conditioning.  It used a cobalt lead battery and could travel 300 miles on a single charge. Unfortunately, EAC could not secure financing for production and the company ceased to exist shortly after this footage was shot.

"Queens of Beauty" shows the 1955 Miss Universe competition. This was only the 4th Miss Universe pageant, and was held on 22 July 1955 at the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium with 22 female competitors. Miss Sweden, 21-year-old Hillevi Rombin, won the competition and was crowned by outgoing titleholder Miriam Stevenson from USA. The first runner-up was Maribel Arrieta of El Salvador.Winner Hillevi Rombin Schine (September 14, 1933 – June 19, 1996) was a Swedish actress and beauty queen who was crowned as Miss Sweden and then Miss Universe in 1955. She was crowned Miss Sweden Universe 1955 by Miss Sweden Universe 1954, Ragnhild Olausson. In 1996, she became the first Miss Universe title holder to pass away, when she was killed in a plane crash.The Miss Universe pageant shown in this film was founded in 1952 by Pacific Knitting Mills, a California-based clothing company and manufacturer of Catalina Swimwear. The company was the sponsor of the Miss America pageant until 1951, when the winner, Yolande Betbeze, refused to pose for publicity pictures wearing one of their swimsuits. So in 1952 Pacific Knitting Mills organized the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants, co-sponsoring them for decades to follow.The first Miss Universe Pageant was held in Long Beach, California in 1952. It was won by Armi Kuusela from Finland, who gave up her title, though not officially, to get married, shortly before her year was completed. Until 1958, the Miss Universe title, like that of Miss America, was dated by the year following the contest, so at the time Ms. Kuusela's title was Miss Universe 1953.Since its founding by Pacific Mills, the pageant has been organized and conducted by the Miss Universe Organization. Eventually Pacific Mills and its subsidiaries were acquired by the Kayser-Roth Corporation, which was in turn acquired by Gulf and Western Industries.

This short reel of WWII clips features footage of the PBY Catalina Flying Boat on a search and rescue mission. The material at the head of the reel seems similar to footage used in the production of John Ford's documentary "Battle of Midway". At (1:09) are shots of a crew on lookout duty. Aircraft is hull # JI-P-42, marked on the exterior. At (3:11) are shots of an airman in an orange inflatable life raft. Starting at 3:46 is color footage of an WWII aircraft carrier, possibly the second USS Yorktown or USS Enterprise, at sea along with a fleet of other vessels. At 5:41, an escort carrier blinks a signal by lamp. At 6:11, deck crew exercise using a heavy medicine ball.

Part 1: https://youtu.be/dEiMeMZPliE

This travelogue from the 1960s is a “Picturelogue”, one of a series of films created and presented by Norman E. Schley, a filmmaker based in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The film is the second of two reels about Spain, portraying tourist attractions, different small and major cities, and visits to surrounding Spanish islands. The camera team also takes a short trip to the city of Tanger in Morocco. This version of the film is (mostly) silent, but a sound version was produced and shown by Schley, possibly in front of a live audience or on television.  The credits indicate that the script for this film was written by John Bakke.

Produced by M. Minter Culver in 1940-41, the “Story of Civilization” was a series of educational films intended to tell the story of mankind through the use of stock footage culled from industrial films.   This 1941 film "Land of Our Forefathers” looks at some of the different nationalities that have immigrated to the United States (the film uses the term “races”). It is divided into four chapters and looks at the French, Germans, English, and Russians with footage from each country on the basis of stereotypes for each group. The French are shown as individualistic, the Germans as industrious, the English as warriors, and the Russians as modernizing. Each chapter, except for the one on the English, also ends with a traditional folk dance for each cultural group.

Dating to 1960, this Shell Oil sponsored film gives a historical overview as well as the basic physics behind the function of heat engines (a heat engine is a device for producing motive power from heat, such as a gasoline engine or steam engine). The film showcases the many benefits that heat engines bring to everyday modern life. The film also covers important features such as the differences between heat and temperature, how heat is converted into motion, and thermal efficiency. These demonstrations are done through animations and footage of different types of heat engines from early steam engines, steam powered locomotives, and gasoline and diesel internal combustion engines. It ends with reflections on the future, including with promising inventions like the gas turbine engine -- a type of continuous flow internal combustion engine.

This 1950s educational film "Measuring Short Distances" is narrated by Professor Dorothy Montgomery. Montgomery explains the different orders of measurement and how these can be observed. The objects measured in the film get continuously smaller and the footage compares each item to the previous one to demonstrate how the order of magnitude have changed. The footage is mostly of microscopes and what can be seen through them. Finally, there is footage of the atomic structure of an object as seen under a new type of electron microscope.

This very badly water damaged, silent film was originally produced by Chance Vought Astronautics to show how a series of micrometeorite penetration studies were conducted. It's unclear when this research was undertaken, possibly 1971. The goal of these tests, as stated in a card at (12:58), was to define a psychologically acceptable breathing atmosphere that would afford maximum protection in the event of a micrometeoric penetration of cabin atmosphere."

Although the film is almost impossible to make out due to the water damage, careful examination of the existing footage indicates that large air tanks and an explosive charge were used to simulate the impact of a micrometeorite on a pressurized spacecraft, sometimes with a 100% oxygen atmosphere. Interestingly, these experiments involved the use of live animals in the form of mice (4:27). The test at (6:00) states that the result "violent and immediate uniform burning of the animal to the epidermis." Another test at (8:52) which used "standard air" instead of 100% oxygen, resulted in "very broad singeing". Other tests follow including "depilatory" tests where the animal was apparently shaved prior to the experiment taking place.

The Chevy Vega should have been a success for GM, with over 2 million units sold during it production run. However, the car gained considerable attention for its engine overheating woes and body corrosion problems. The 1976 model solved some of these issues and represented a final push by GM to save the design , but despite this the Vega name was abandoned in 1977 after a mere six years on the market. This film was presented by Chevrolet to promote the 1976 Vega Hatchback Coupe car, in a last-ditch effort to save the mark. Engineers designed this improved Vega model to endure constant driving in high temperatures and push back against the claim that the car's quality was poor. Three of these cars collectively drove 180,000 miles through Death Valley, only pausing for gas refills and maintenance starting August 1st until September 30th in 1975, to demonstrate the durability of the model. The public relations effort failed to reverse opinion about the car, and GM terminated the mark in 1977.

This short film “Calling All Cars” was inspired by a police-drama radio program of the same name. 
A precursor to the popular police drama "Dragnet", "Calling All Cars" portrayed the true crime stories of the Los Angeles Police Department and was hosted by Chief of Police James E. Davis. This black-and-white film is presented by General Film Productions and features a script by Michael Morris. In addition to Chief of Police James E. Davis, the cast includes Tom Dwain, Jack O'Shea, Cherie Fey, George Mitchel, Doris Jans, Maureen Loomis and others. The film begins with an introduction by Chief Davis followed by a dramatized reenactment of a bank robbery in Los Angeles in the 1920S.

This 1970s instructional film for school bus drivers, "Fatal Stop", covers the potential dangers that could come about from a sloppy inspection of the bus before driving it somewhere. It shows bus drivers correctly inspecting their bus as well as one bus driver who does his work badly. This bus driver then causes a crash, which is meant to highlight that it was entirely avoidable had he done his inspection correctly.

This 1961 U.S. Army training Film is the second in a series on motors and generators and covers the physics behind different types of AC generators. Given that AC generators are present in everything from simple desk fans to rotating radar antennae their basic function is essential knowledge for certain Army personnel. The film covers, almost exclusively in the form of animations, the basic physics behind AC generators including the different types based on the number of poles and single and three phase generators. It also looks at single, phase, split phase, and three phase induction motors as well as how to start them by either using shaded poles, starter poles, or with a centrifugal switch.

This 1961 U.S. Army training film covers the basic physics behind the function of DC motors and generators. This is demonstrated through progressively more complex animations that discuss the basics, such as the generation of electromotive force, the necessity of adding armatures and commutators, the need to add brushes, and necessary adjustments that need to be made to the neutral plane to avoid sparking which can damage the generator. Generators and motors are at the basis of most machines from simple things like field telephones to missile engines, so an understanding of them is essential for all engineers.

This promo film for the Mississippi Glass Company dates to the late 1960s or early 1970s, and was made by Dean Moore, Sr. and his company Condor Films. Mississippi Glass Co. was founded in 1873 in St. Louis, Missouri, initially specializing in green glass bottles and jars for export, until the production started concentrating on flat glass plates, specializing in industrial-level wired glass. This film promotes the varieties of glass plates and wired glass the company produces, showing how different glass types can change how sunlight affects classrooms, homes, and offices. Unfortunately, the film apparently didn't help Mississippi's business, and the company folded sometime in the 1970s. 

“Rolled Glass by Mississippi” title banner. (00:20). An explosion crater reveals natural glass (00:44). A portrayal of three types of glass; plate glass, window glass, and roll glass (01:03). A house with low diffusion glass (01:24).

“Cooking With an All-Star Cast” (1956) is a color, scripted made-for-tv film from the 1950s that takes place on the set of a cooking show where big name actors present how to properly cook and present different cuts of meat. A presentation of the National Livestock and Meat Board and produced by Wilding Picture Productions, Inc, this film has actors Geraldine Lien and Russ Reed play a home-economics expert (Ms. Morgan) and amateur actor tasked with leading a cooking special on the basic methods used to cook some of the traditional favorites of the American family. This film is significant for the insights it offers into American consumer culture in the post-Depression, post-World War II era where pent up consumer demands caused an explosion in the food industry. This trend particularly manifested in Americans’ consumption of red meat with the per capita consumption of beef rising in the 1950s and 1960s. 

Music starts, opening credits (0:12). Chef host kneels down besides perhaps 1950s GE Stratoliner Stove Oven, takes out rack of meat, adds seasoning, and talks to audience (0:47). Director calls cut, reveals large TV studio set (1:12).

This brief promotional film for War Bonds dates to 1943, and is targeted at African Americans. It was likely only shown in movie theaters in the Baltimore, Maryland vicinity. It includes a plea for Blacks to donate blood at the Provident Hospital, one of the first black medical facilities located in Baltimore.. The film is notable in that it contains some rare images of the Black-founded All American Newspapers publishing company (2:27) which published The Afro American newspaper in Baltimore as well as other cities. At 2:59 the copy desk at the Baltimore Afro American is shown as well as the typesetting with a linotype machine (3:19) and printing facilities (3:29). At (3:35) a giant roll of paper is moved into position for printing. At (4:19), movie theater goers are reminded to buy war stamps and war bonds. The film ends with a campaign promo and a text pleading for national unity. The promo is for Baltimore City Councilman Daniel Ellison, who was running for Congress in 1943 as a Republican. Ellison won the election and served until 1945, when he lost to George Hyde Fallon. He is notable as one of the only Republicans to ever sit on the Baltimore City Council.

This film is a black-and-white instruction film presented by The United States Army – T.F.3 2659, for the US Army portable flamethrower M2A1-7. It shows in detail how to charge pressure tanks using either the M1A1 power-driven reciprocating compressor designed specifically for the M2A1-7 or commercial compressed gas cylinders. It further includes detailed safety instructions. The M2A1-7 shown was a flamethrower used by the American troops during the Vietnam War. It is the updated version of the M2A1-2 unit which was used during The Korean War, and a variant of the M2 which was developed during WWII.

Dating to 1968, this U.S. Navy training film tackles the approach, and the mathematics, excercised to solve a typical gun fire control problem. It is set aboard the USS England (DLG/CG-22), which was a Leahy-class guided missile cruiser in service from 1963 to 1994. The film sets up the basic elements of a typical gun fire control problem through the example of the USS England engaging and shooting down a target aircraft. It goes through the different elements of the problem through points, lines, plains, and coordinate systems. The basic antiaircraft (AA) gun fire-control problem is
to orient the gun barrel at the time of firing such that the target and the projectile occupy the same space at some time during the time of flight of the projectile, based on observation of the flight path of the target and knowledge of the gun ballistics.As the film shows, the fire control problem can be divided into two major categories: (1) The effect of relative target motion during the time of weapon flight. (2) The physical phenomena collectively called ballistics, which produce a curved weapon trajectory.

This mid-1940s film was created by Shell Oil to promote careers in the service station industry, and tells a sort of American rags-to-riches story. The film follows the story of a U.S. Army veteran named Bill, who works himself up from a mere gas station employee to becoming a franchisee who owns a station of his own. The footage is mainly of conversations as well as cars being maintained at full service Shell Gas stations. The services offered in this era included complimentary gas fill ups, tire pressure checks, oil checks, and cleaning. The film was likely shown to people interested in entering into a franchise agreement with Shell, and probably also shown at local meetings of organizations like the Chamber of Commerce or Kiwanis. Note: this print is missing the main title and credits, so we don't know the exact name of the film or who stars in it.

This 1960s Navy film looks at the flight test and weapons testing of the Sikorsky Sea Dragon Helicopter HSS-2 or S-2 at the U.S. Navy's Flight Test Center at Patuxent River, Maryland. This helicopter was later redesignated as the S-61 / SH-3 Sea King. The helicopter is shown tested in multiple conditions including at night, in heavy winds, and on an aircraft carrier. There is also footage of the helicopter breaking the world helicopter speed record. The USS Lake Champlain is also shown (CV-39) in its role as an anti-submarine warfare platform. Lake Champlain was one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers.

This gorgeous 1960s travelogue film covers the varied attractions in Palm Springs, California, which was experiencing a sort of "golden era" of growth and prosperity at the time it was filmed. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who famously retired to the resort community after leaving office, is shown in the film playing golf.(At the time Eisenhower was one of the world's most famous golfers, since estimates indicated he played about 800 rounds of golf during his two terms in office!)  The film covers many aspects of the city's location and geography, with shots of nature and a particular focus on the contrast between the lush, green grass of the city and the harsh dryness of the desert. There are many shots of well-known entertainment venues, including restaurants and clubs, as well as the different accommodation options including hotels and resorts.

Shot by an unknown amateur filmmaker who was somehow connected to the aviation industry -- or possibly a U.S. Navy aviator -- this film contains many fascinating scenes related to early U.S. Navy aviation. It begins with footage shot in 1935 in the Washington, D.C. area, this well edited home movie begins with shots of Curtiss biplane fighter aircraft (:10). These are probably U.S. Navy F7C Seahawks and the location is likely the U.S. Navy Naval Air Station Anacostia. At (:41) Navy Day is celebrated in 1929, with an impressive array of airplanes on the flightline and taking off (1:13) in groups.  At (1:24) Al Williams is shown in a "Navy Hawk". (Williams was best known for winning the Pulitzer Trophy for the Navy by establishing the world's speed record, at 266,51 miles an hour in 1923.)  At 1:40 Williams flies inverted and performs a series of stunts for onlookers. At (2:10) a plane puts down a smokescreen over the field. At (2:39) the Curtiss Marine Trophy Race of 1929 is shown, as an on-looker would have seen it. The date was May 25 and Lieutenant William G. Tomlinson, USN, took first place. He flew the XF7C-1 (Seahawk prototype) seaplane with an average speed of 162.52 MPH.  He completed the 100-mile race course before his nearest competitor had entered the final twenty miles. (Note the Capitol Building clearly visible behind the Potomac river at 6:23). At (6:52) the dirigible USS Los Angeles is shown in flight over Philadelphia. The date is likely September 6, 1928, when the airship traveled there as part of the Sesquicentennial. At (7:28) the Navy Day celebrations in 1928 are shown. At (8:24) a Seahawk with N.A.S. Anacostia markings is clearly shown. At (8:38) the "Three Sea Haw...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/30449e24-919d-4b1f-9b89-edaa0f761905/2c810209-6587-4fcd-a617-3132c9a4a5e9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6XGAt4m1MN7uhkg6Lq3R1i</video:player_loc><video:duration>735</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T06:11:18.625Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5qEwWTGRgLR6aTcLYsmXyb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6453d38a-1d17-4001-b613-c290d7799fef.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"SKY DEVILS" 1932 MOVIE TRAILER  SPENCER TRACY  WILLIAM BOYD  AVIATION COMEDY FILM 40844d</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This film is one of the many episodes of Jim Hawthorne’s Funny World, a short comedy series from 1960 that served as "filler" in between broadcast scheduled shows and live TV.  "Funny World" featured vintage stock footage with hilarious, and often completely incongruous, voice-over by Hawthorne. This one features footage of testing of a new type of football or crash helmet, a smokestack falling over, and footage of the British Short Mayo Composite (this consisted of an S.20 Mercury mailplane being launched from the Short S.21 Maia seaplane as part of a piggyback experiment), footage of a welder at work, Marines exercising drill (2:00), and footage of a Hollywood monkey or chimp getting a shave (2:40). 

The Short Mayo Composite was a piggy-back long-range seaplane/flying boat combination produced by Short Brothers to provide a reliable long-range air transport service to North America and, potentially, to other distant places in the British Empire and the Commonwealth.

Short TV programs of this sort were a "thing" back in the early days of television, when scheduled live programs sometimes ended up short by a few minutes of time, or when advertisers failed to purchase a "block" of time at a commercial break.

This short, Soviet propaganda film celebrates the Seventh World Congress of the Communist International (Comintern), a multinational conference held in Moscow from July 25 through August 20, 1935. The Comintern included delegated representatives of ruling and non-ruling communist parties from around the world and invited guests representing other political and organized labor organizations.  It was held at the Hall of Pillars of the House of the Unions in Moscow. The meeting was shaped by the fact that on May 2, 1935, the two countries most concerned about the implications of growing German fascism and militarism — France and the Soviet Union — concluded the Franco-Soviet Treaty of Mutual Assistance. The film begins with images of the threat of fascism in continental Europe, including in the streets of Austria and even London, England (:58). Fascist in France tried to seize power but "were rebuffed decisively by an anti-fascist front led by the working class." At 1:38, the clock chimes noon on July 25, 1935 as the Comintern gets underway. At (2:13) Wilhelm Pieck of the Communist Party of Germany delivers remarks, greeting "all the prisoners in the fascist dungeons." Bulgarian Communist Georgi Dimitrov is also shown making remarks, as well as representatives from Spain, France, and the USSR. Images of Fascist Germany and Italy are shown as well as the production of war materiale (2:45). A huge glowing swastika of light is shown at (2:50) as German fascists burn books in a huge bonfire. At (3;09) an exhortation for the "democratic forces" to "resist fascism" and maintain a united front. Stalinist Dmitri Manuilski, secretary of the Executive Committee of the Comintern, speaks at (3:15). ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/df81d3d0-4083-44b9-89e3-9ba0e3c9ea46/38eb0119-cc13-448c-a19c-91fb79282c6f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tAM6WLVB9T7urUaxBzMVv9</video:player_loc><video:duration>294</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T06:22:44.553Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/drusErcCaUnvmau17JThnc</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b397e7ba-c6b6-4e56-8b36-698102346dda.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"PATROL VEHICLE RADIO"  1970s POLICE TRAINING FILM    ROLL CALL SERIES BY SID DAVIS  XD73314</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Produced by Texas Agricultural Extension Service in cooperation with the Animal Husbandry Department at Texas A&amp;M University, “Judging Slaughter Steers” is a color, informational film that touches upon visual aids and techniques that can be used to evaluate steers (cattle) to be slaughtered. Likely from the late 1960s, this film seeks to address the challenge to perfect live steer judging as it relates closely to meeting the demands of the beef market and increasing production efficiency.

This early WWII film from the Better Vision Institute, "Vision for Victory", covers the importance of optical science for daily life and for the war effort. It is narrated by Lowell Thomas. The film explains how eyes function, with demonstrations and animations of a cross section of the eye. It then shows how glasses are made from the lenses to the frames, and shows how they are adjusted to fit patients. It ends with a message about the importance of protecting your eyes to preempt the need for glasses, showing footage of a little girl that is made to assume a proper reading posture by her mother. The Better Vision Institute which made the film is an arm of the Vision Council, which remains in operation today. It was originally formed as The Optical Manufacturers Association (OMA), which was comprised of manufacturers of ophthalmic frames, lenses, cases and optical machinery. It was formed to help stimulate growth and influence the eye care industry.

This color educational film is about the problem of trash in the USA -- which was known at the time as the "Garbage Explosion". It was produced by Union Carbide in the early 1970s, and focuses on the use of garbage bags (produced by Union Carbide) as a means of collection. It also looks at sanitary landfills while urging viewers to help decrease their consumption of goods and try to protect the environment. There is no copyright date but it may date from around 1973, when a fuel crisis (referenced in the film) raised the price of plastic products including plastic bags. 

Opening titles (:06-:09). Garbage dump, birds flying over a dump. Trucks drop off more garbage. Bulldozers push garbage. Kansas City, MO, they are using the bag system for trash - a girl ties her plastic trash bag and puts it out on the curb along with newspapers that are bound together for pickup.

He looks at bags of trash and makes sure they're secured. Bags are placed into a garbage truck. Garland, TX, the bag system is in use there as well. A train of dumpsters together are in use as a worker tosses bags into them on a street. Bags are tossed high up and crash down into the dumpster.

This 1970 awareness film "A Child's Garden of Pollution" is narrated by Bill Bixby and follows him and his "son" (actor Brandon Cruz who played Bixby's son on the TV show "The Courtship of Eddie's Father") as they examine different environmental issues. These include agricultural runoff, air pollution, water pollution, overcrowding, and animals going extinct. There are many shots of pollution and smog generated by cars and factories.  The film features short narrated elements by scientists who are experts on pollution and the environment. The song “Daddy, what if…?” sung by Bixby and Cruz encapsulates the theme for the film, focusing on creating a better future for children.

This fascinating, and rarely seen promotional film "A Heritage of Service" was made by National Selected Morticians (now Selected Independent Funeral Homes) to showcase the responsibilities of a funeral director and the mortuary industry. The film dates to 1950. National Selected Morticians (NSM) began in 1916, when a group of forward-thinking funeral professionals met to discuss a shared vision of mutual cooperation and the future of funeral service. Membership in the group was extended by invitation only. Today the group remains committed to the careful selection of member homes that are committed to high standards of character, professional ability and reputation. This film was written by Schuyler Bradt, shot by William Deeke, edited by Isaac Kleinerman, and supervised by Clay Adams.

Opening: National Selected Morticians presents "A Heritage of Service", produced by RKO Pathe, Inc. (:07-:33). A car parked outside of a suburban home.

Here is a trailer for the film "Behind the Scenes at Synanon". This purports to show a behind the scenes look at the 1965 Synanon feature film. Features Synanon House, actors from the movie, and Chuck Dederich. The feature was directed by Richard Quine and stars Chuck Connors, Stella Stevens, Alex Cord, Richard Conte, Eartha Kitt and Edmond O'Brien. It featured a screenplay by Ian Bernard and was filmed at Synanon in Santa Monica, California. 

Synanon was created by Charles E. "Chuck" Dederich Sr. in 1958 and, while it disbanded in 1991 in the USA due to significant legal problems and loss of its tax exempt status, it still exists in Germany.
It was originally conceived and established as a drug rehabilitation program, but devolved into a cult called the "Church of Synanon" by the 1970s.

This Cold War civil defense film attempts to persuade viewers that building a home fallout shelter is a smart thing to do, and they are easy and economical to build. The film shows how to construct a durable, concrete shelter suitable for surviving a nuclear blast; it was made in 1963 and presented by the Department of Defense. The basic premise of the film is that it follows Civil Defense Director Hank Adams as he guides the Warren Family through construction of their own basement fallout shelter. The original catalog entry for this movie noted that: "This film is designed not only for those living in suburban or rural areas too far removed from the nearest community shelter-but also for those in urban sections who, for reasons of personal preference or convenience, would rather rely on a family shelter for fallout protection."

Made by an unknown American filmmaker named "Bart", this film "Mass Insanity" aka "Acid Trip" presents a psychedelic vision on celluloid. The film features various techniques to enhance its reality, including time lapse and fast and slow motion. It was apparently filmed in New York State, San Antonio (the Skylon Tower is visible at 5:48) and also in Contra Costa County, California in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area. The soundtrack was added and is not original -- this film is silent but must have had an accompanying cassette tape (now lost).

Some of the more interesting or fantastic visual imagery includes a record turntable (10:25) that apparently kills its user, a skier on a summer day creating snow (11:07), a stoner party with hippie guests smoking marijuana cigarettes (14:30), and Niagara Falls in slow motion (17:50).

Here is a trailer for the film "Behind the Scenes at Synanon". This purports to show a behind the scenes look at the 1965 Synanon feature film. Features Synanon House, actors from the movie, and Chuck Dederich. The feature was directed by Richard Quine and stars Chuck Connors, Stella Stevens, Alex Cord, Richard Conte, Eartha Kitt and Edmond O'Brien. It featured a screenplay by Ian Bernard and was filmed at Synanon in Santa Monica, California. 

Synanon was created by Charles E. "Chuck" Dederich Sr. in 1958 and, while it disbanded in 1991 in the USA due to significant legal problems and loss of its tax exempt status, it still exists in Germany.
It was originally conceived and established as a drug rehabilitation program, but devolved into a cult called the "Church of Synanon" by the 1970s.

This 1960 documentary was made by the Shell Film Unit and covers the different benefits of motion picture technology, more specifically that it has revealed things that the human eye would otherwise not be able to see. This includes a short history of pioneering techniques from moving pictures to time lapses and slow motion footage. It also covers how these different techniques have been used over time with applications in medicine, plant growth, and astronomy. The footage is mostly in black and white, and covers a rapid succession of different applications of these filming techniques.

This 1950 British short film, released by United World in the USA, explains how television works. It shows how an image of a man playing piano in a recording studio can be transmitted to household television sets all over the country. It covers all the technical aspects, with attention paid to the different parts of a TV camera and a television set, and the apparatus needed to deconstruct and reconstruct moving pictures. Directed by Colin Bell, the film is aided by several high quality animations created by Ken Hardy which show how dancing electrons make it all possible.

Finally, there is a visit to the Tokugawa Ieyasu Shrine in the village of Nikko, with footage of some of the parts of the shrine. The shrine is a magnificent memorial to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which ruled Japan for over 250 years until 1868.

This Cold War era color (with B&amp;W segments) educational film is about the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact's threat towards the United States and the Free World. This film was produced by the American Security Council Educational Foundation in affiliation with the AFL-CIO. It argues that there is a growing defense gap between the Warsaw Pact and NATO and strongly advocates for a military build-up. Interestingly, the film advertises an opportunity for the audience to provide feedback via a "Peace Poll". The film was released in late 1976 or early 1977 and adopted as an Armed Forces Information Film by the U.S. military. ASCEF was apparently a short-lived organization; it is best known today for suing CBS News for allegedly showing negative bias in reporting of proposed military budgets.

This 1970s film directed by F. William Bryant, Jr. was produced by the Masonite Corporation, which specialized in wood products and  design. The film was written by William Bernal and shot by Kari Malkames, A.S.C.  The Masonite product is a type of “engineered wood” typically made by compressing together fibres and different materials to produce a board. The film covers the history and different uses of Masonite products. The film shows the manufacturing process, including the harvesting of the trees, the chipping of the wood, the industrial process by which it is separated into base components, and then pressed together again. They also highlight the different design options that they offer for hardboard wood and how this looks in different settings. Finally, they emphasize the other potential benefits like the environmentally friendly use of manufacturing waste products in the creation of fish food.

This 1948 instructional film produced by the Boy Scouts of America covers some of the basics of hiking. The film makes it clear at the beginning and the end that this only serves as an introduction and should be supplemented with further instruction. The film begins with an example of two different Scout Masters, one who is badly prepared and another who is diligent in planning, to highlight the importance of planning for any hike. This is followed by what to wear and bring for a hike, including the importance of conducting practice hikes before undertaking longer journeys. In the last part of the film, the different groups are in a competition to get to a pre-determined place as fast as possible through different navigation clues. They make camp at this location and demonstrate different methods for outdor cooking.0:08 Boy Scouts of America Presents “Patrol and Troop Hiking”, 0:28 Message of warning noting that the instructional video has been shortened for immediate needs and instructions on how to most efficiently learn the material covered in the film, 1:28 a boy giving an oath to become a Boy Scout, 2:01 the Scout talking to another boy while playing darts, 2:41 Boy Scouts hiking with their Scout Master, 3:12 Scout Master giving instructions to a group of Scouts, 4:11 a group of Scouts sitting on steps waiting and crowding around their Scout Master when he arrives, 5:00 another Scout Master and his Scouts going through a program of activities, 6:22 scenes of Scouts on different hikes including to an old mill, in a town, through a forest, and stalking game in a field, 7:29 a young Scout putting on proper hiking equipment like long pants, socks, solid shoes, and packing first aid ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b123e93b-d2e2-4e2a-bdac-1f52704d7354/18934b73-f755-41f6-a776-171b076240f7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nSGg3tmF48gTTXPDUwRcwU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1011</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T07:31:04.599Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mNA75mYmLBDr9cawcZPNfd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/367005b3-c788-4bad-a2eb-c326132299e4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ TO TOMMY, WITH LOVE ” 1982 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA PROMO FILM   BENEFITS OF CUB SCOUTING  XD80645</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

“Television Line by Line” (1969) is a color illustrated, informational film based on the German language film Zeile Für Zeile (made in the Federal Republic of Germany) that details and demonstrates the basic principles of how pictures are formed on the TV screen. Distributed in the United States by the International Film Bureau Inc of Chicago, Illinois - the film was originally made by FWU Institut für Film und Bild in Wissenschaft und Unterricht in Grünwald, Germany. 

Opening credits (0:08). Illustration of retro, late 1960s movie camera and tv set (0:25).

Dating after 1964, this short film shows an early Apollo Program Lunar Module mock-up being tested to see how spacesuited astronauts could maneuver inside. The location is likely the Grumman plant at Bethpage, New York. The mock-up shows the astronauts in a standing position at (3:00), which was a development over the original design (which had them sitting down). The mock-up also features triangular windows, as opposed to the rounded design first proposed. At (3:46) a scope is used to take a position reading. At (4:06) a seatbelt is shown in use. Starting at about (5:00), the astronaut subjects don spacesuits to perform an EVA on the lunar surface and don life support packs (8:27). At (13:30) they open a large hatch. They return at at (18:43) stow their gear.  The spacesuits seen in the film appears to be an SPD-143 type, known at NASA as the AX1L.

Dating to the mid-1960s, this water-damaged, silent film shows men in spacesuits simulating the assembly of a large space telescope. The location is unknown, and the precise nomenclature for this mock-up device is also unknown. Most likely what this film shows is a design for the USAF's Manned Orbiting Laboratory (although the presence of NASA logos on the device may make that a bad assumption).  The MOL concept was a temporary, orbiting, crewed space station that could be used for ground reconnaissance. It is also possible that this represents and early version of the Apollo Telescope Mount, or ATM, which was a part of Skylab, the first American space station. The ATM had a very different design, however, and was created to observe the Sun in wavelengths ranging from soft X-rays, ultra-violet, and visible light. 

The spacesuits in use appear to be modified versions of the Navy Mark IV, similar to those use in Project Mercury. The Mark IV are full-body, high-altitude pressure suit originally developed by the B.F. Goodrich Company and the U.S. Navy for pilots of high-altitude fighter aircraft. The Mercury space suit was basically a modified version of the Mark IV suit, with the most notable modification being an aluminized nylon outer layer to assist thermal control.

This short publicity film for the Syncom Satellite program dates to the 1960s. It was made after the successful launch of Syncom 3, so most likely dates to 1965. Syncom (for "synchronous communication satellite") started as a 1961 NASA program for active geosynchronous communication satellites, all of which were developed and manufactured by Hughes Space and Communications. Syncom 2, launched in 1963, was the world's first geosynchronous communications satellite. Syncom 3, launched in 1964, was the world's first geostationary satellite.Syncom 3 was the first geostationary communication satellite, launched on August 19, 1964 with the Delta D #25 launch vehicle from Cape Canaveral. The satellite, in orbit near the International Date Line, had the addition of a wideband channel for television and was used to telecast the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo to the United States. Although Syncom 3 is sometimes credited with the first television program to cross the Pacific Ocean, the Relay 1 satellite first broadcast television from the United States to Japan on November 22, 1963.In the 1980s, the series was continued as Syncom IV with some much larger satellites, also manufactured by Hughes. They were leased to the United States military under the Leasat program.Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

Dating to 1966, this film shows zero-gravity tests made in support of the Bendix LSSM, also known as the Lunar Scientific Survey Module. The single person LSSM was a forerunner of the Lunar Rover, and would be used to support a local manned survey.  Intended to travel on titanium wheels at speeds up to 8 miles per hour, it was proposed for delivery with an LM Shelter. This battery-powered vehicle would have been capable of a 14 day mission, and had a proposed range of 25km per sortie. It weighed 900kg, and would have required delivery by a cargo carrying rocket before the arrival of the manned mission that would have accompanied it. In the end, the far lighter and slightly less capable Lunar Rover, which could support two men, was developed instead. 

 At :56, a child's bicycle is used as for comparison / baseline (with and without training wheels) in simulated zero gravity. At 4:14, a demonstration LSSM is shown in the aircraft. The tests are intended to demonstrate in part how the LSSM would react to hitting a small obstacle (as seen at 6:55). At (13:41), another round of experiments is shown with a low torque drilling tool being used by a subject in a spacesuit.

This silent film from 1968 was made by the Eastman Kodak Company Apparatus Division during the NASA Apollo Program. The film shows simulated views from the Lunar Module or LM during a lunar landing. It's not clear whether this film was ever used in astronaut training, but presumably Kodak was hired either to design a mechanical simulator or to provide a film that could be utilized as part of one.

This film features sound outtakes from a travelogue created by Norman E. Schley. Schley produced a series of films titled “Picturelogues", and these sequences, which were shot with an Auricon sound newsreel camera, were intended to be inserted into longer films. Norman E. Schley produced these segments between 1951-1953 during Hawaiian governor Oren E. Long’s term. The film portrays Hawaii, mainly through its deep-rooted traditional hula dances and Auana musical performances, using traditional instruments such as the ukulele and feathered gourd rattles, ʻUlīʻulī.

This late 1920s / early 1930s silent film was produced by Cine Art, and is from a genre known as the "nudie cutie". These titillating films were supposedly made for aspiring artists (who could not afford life models for their studios) to get a look at the bare human form in motion.  Of course, most of the customers who bought these films were not artists!  The first part of this "art study" film looks at a woman going through different motions repeatedly which she then later does in the buff, while artists paint her. It then shows a woman on the beach doing gymnastics motions. It ends with the “Featurette” which looks at a short story of a man and woman falling for each other after they both find each other naked in the woods and look for the woman’s clothes, which have hilariously been stolen by an amateur detective.

Dating to 1970, this silent NASA footage shows zero gravity flight tests of a toilet system for containing urine and fecal matter in space. The point of the test was to apparently demonstrate how an astronaut would sit on the toilet in space (using a strap or belt) and how the seal on the device would work (although, in these particular tests, no actual #1 or #2 occurred).  These tests were conducted aboard a reduced gravity aircraft, probably NASA's Convair C-131 Samaritan or possibly a  KC-135 aircraft (this type of aircraft appears visible at the top of frame at the start of the film at :16). In the footage, test subjects are in simulated weightless conditions. The primitive, canister-like toilet device shown must have been a proposed prototype, probably made by Republic Aircraft. It does not appear that it ever made it into space. During the Apollo missions, astronauts used a cuff / condom type system for urine collection and a bag that taped to the buttocks for fecal collection. It's unknown why this particular device was not adopted, but most likely it has to do with its size and weight.

This film is one of the many episodes of Jim Hawthorne’s Funny World, a short comedy series from 1960 that served as "filler" in between broadcast scheduled shows and live TV.  "Funny World" featured vintage stock footage with hilarious, and often completely incongruous, voice-over by Hawthorne. This one features footage of a rickshaw race in China, footage of a boy who can write on a chalkboard upside down and perform upside down mathematical operations, footage of German pretzels being folded and twisted by hand in a German factory,  a regatta with a floating barge equipped with a miniature beach resort, and a man being pulled aloft by a blimp -- with a noose around his neck. 

Short TV programs of this sort were a "thing" back in the early days of television, when scheduled live programs sometimes ended up short by a few minutes of time, or when advertisers failed to purchase a "block" of time at a commercial break. 

Jim Hawthorne (November 20, 1918 – November 6, 2007) was an American radio personality and comic actor. He was a disc jockey who was a pioneer of "free form" radio. Hawthorne was born in Victor, Colorado and began his career at a Denver radio station. He eventually landed in Los Angeles, California where he worked not only in radio, but also in early television and short films. In 1950, he created, produced and starred in the Saturday night coast-to-coast radio program, The Hawthorne Thing, which was the final network radio show to originate in NBC's Hollywood Radio City. At KLAC/Channel 13 in the early 1950s, he created the first late evening talk show on television, This Is Hawthorne. An article in the LA Times reflecting on early TV described the show as "predece...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8d08d8d5-88ad-412b-86ae-69dbc8533dd1/4d28e7b8-e96d-4713-89da-b805aa1ce5e1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iq6UvCW69WoAzgGxcqrkBP</video:player_loc><video:duration>215</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T08:12:50.776Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vC4D7uWGi2P4hNau5Hc1KE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ff4f74d0-60fe-45f9-8a89-3f276cb682f1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ TRANSATLANTIC VOYAGE ABOARD QUEEN ELIZABETH 2 ”   1970 DISCOVERY TV SHOW   NEW YORK QE2   XD30502</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This short film, a silent home movie from the 1940s, was shot by an unknown filmmaker. It contains family images as well as an intriguing segment featuring African-American / Black musicians and performers. It's a mystery as to who these performers are -- if you have any insight please leave notes in the comments.

The film begins with shots of a white family posing in nice outfits, with the father wearing a suit and tie. At :32 are images inside a family home, of a well-dressed woman sitting in a chair. At :53 are shots of a painting or portrait of a woman (possibly the same woman shown in the chair previously?)  At 1:43, close up image of the painting. At 2:00 are shots in the desert, possibly in Southern Arizona but actual location unknown. At 2:35, a group of African American / Black musicians and singers perform at an outdoor stage. A sign on the stage says "Mill's Cigarettes" -- that's a brand popular overseas but relatively unknown in the USA. It's unclear what the location of the performance was, or who was performing. We'd love to know who, what and when!

This educational film from 1967 explains how minerals are subtracted from sand, separated, then purified, before being exported from Australia to the rest of the world. The film is directed by John Shaw, photographed by Leo Elia and George Alexander, and produced by John Martin Jones, with sound by Gordon Wraxall.

"Follow Thru With The Old One Two” is a color advertising film from the late 1940s that aims to promote the revolutionary Simmons Beautyrest Mattress. In 1925, the mattress was first developed and sold featuring wire coils individually enclosed in fabric enclosures — Simmons' Pocketed Coil® technology. It was the first mass-produced mattress with this technology providing individual support and motion separation, so couples could sleep undisturbed. This scripted film follows a group of retail furniture salesmen as they discuss their signature “one-two” sales method for selling the Beautyrest Mattress with a junior, inexperienced showroom salesman. The approach uses psychology and especially focuses on working on the mind of the wife, emphasizing the comfort provided by the $39.50 (roughly $850 in today's dollars) mattress.

This silent movie shows the Graf Zeppelin arriving in Los Angeles, California on August 25, 1929, after a 79 hour flight from Tokyo during the airship’s famous Round-the-World flight.  The film begins with shots at the Los Angeles Municipal Airport aka Mines Field (today's LAX) as the "globe circling" giant arrives on its trip from Japan. At 1:23 the ship descends to a landing. The Los Angeles Times of 26 August recorded the heightened air of anticipation: “With the approach of the Graf Zeppelin within sight of the Los Angeles Municipal Airport at Inglewood, the crowd was growing into gigantic proportions and it was estimate that 500,000 people would be on hand at sunrise.”  The landing was apparently made more difficult because of a typical Los Angeles temperature inversion, with a colder layer of air near ground level, which necessitated Captain Hugo Eckener and his crewmen outgassing a great deal of hydrogen as the giant airship landed.  At 3:35 the ship is tied to a mooring mast and made secure. At 3:50, a look at the main cabin and gondolas of the ship. At 4:30, a promo for the American Broadcasting system, which had a portable loudspeaker broadcasting truck at the landing site.  At 5:01, notable passengers are shown disembarking including William Leeds II, Karl von Wiegand and the "Japanese representatives". At 5:21, Dr. Eckener is shown with the German delegation. At 5:40, a study of the dirigible's gigantic hull and keel.

“The Policeman Third Edition” is a 1967 color educational film produced by Irving Rusinow for Encyclopedia Britannica Films in cooperation with the Washington D.C. Police Department (aka the Metropolitan Police Department or MPD). This educational film seeks to inform elementary school-aged youth about the various roles and responsibilities of a police department. Made in cooperation with MPD’s Police Chief John B. Layton and Inez R. Brown of the Washington D.C. Public Schools, the film relays this information in the context of a minor hit and run investigation involving a little girl as she walked to school.  At the time the film was made the  D.C.
police had a 2,800 man force; roughly a year after the film was made in April, 1968 the police force was overwhelmed during race riots, and President Johnson had to call in the National Guard as a backstop.

Byrd hoped to continue his scientific research and to discover new territory in the frozen continent, using the original "Little America" site as a base camp. Despite the on-going Great Depression, Byrd managed to assemble two ships, four airplanes (including a big Curtiss Wright biplane) and four tractors for the expedition. Upon arrival in Antarctica, Byrd set up an advance weather station 123 miles south of LIttle America, which he planned to man by himself for six months.  After Byrd's transmissions suddenly stopped, his second-in-command Tom Poulter organized a rescue team using the tractors. They managed to reach Byrd on the third attempt and discovered that he had been poisoned by carbon monoxide fumes from a diesel generator. His recuperation took months, but Byrd survived, and the expedition returned from the south with a treasure trove of scientific data.  

The film begins with footage of the SS Bear, a barkentine vessel formerly known as the Bear of Oakland, and which had served as an Arctic icebreaker. The film then traces the journey to Easter Island (:26) and onward to the ice floes (1:26). At (2:09) an airplane is offloaded onto Antarctica as well as a car. At (2:45) ships stores are shown on the ice, after the departure of the support vessels. At (3:04), the expedition arrives at Little America, the base camp established by Byrd four years earlier. Various activities are shown including scientific research, prior to the dramatic rescue of Admiral Byrd from his isolated advanced camp (6:20). At (9:02) a stricken Byrd arrives at Little America for further recuperation. The film wraps up with images of the expedition using aircraft and tractors to map the coastline of Antarctica, and to perform other research prior to returning to the United States via ship.

This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as the "TV's biggest, little show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "When did the French Navy make a record setting deep sea dive in the bathyscaphe FNRS-3?"  If you got the right answer you must be very smart so take a bow! 

Footage shows the FNRS-3 or FNRS III bathyscaphe being piloted by Georges Houot. 

Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air. 

Jim Hawthorne (1918 –2007) was a beloved radio personality, disc jockey and TV comic actor who produced (in addition to Quicky Quiz!) the short format show "Jim Hawthorne's Funny World". He worked for a variety of TV stations including KLAC / Los Angeles Channel 13, where he created the first late evening talk show on television, "This Is Hawthorne."

Dating to the late 1960s/early 1970s, this promotional film was made by New Dimension Films, Inc., a firm that specialized in animated films and special effects. The company applied for a patent in 1967 for a "method and apparatus for producing animated drawings and in-between drawings" that used an "electronic graphics and display technology to assist the animator with drawing, editing, and coloring." This film may (or may not) show that system in use. The demo reel does show a form of advanced multi-plane animation, which the narration refers to as "3-D animation." Some of the examples shown include animated characters interacting with 3-D objects in an industrial film (2:20) and a highly detailed set (2:50). At (3:06) a Fresca soda commercial is shown wherein an animated character climbs into the soda bottle. At (3:34) an animated character on a motorcycle drives towards what appears to be a real hand grenade, while the background elements are animation. At (5:30) the narrated demo concludes, and several samples from recent work are shown. It's unclear how much work New Dimension contributed during its operation, or whether the animation company is related to a company of the same name that produced non-fiction (but not animated) films in the 1980s.

This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne.

Footage shows the USS Constitution being overhauled in a Boston drydock in 1927. 

Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were commonplace.

This silent film shows the Ocean Patrol Hydrofoil HMS Speedy demonstrating its capabilities. Also shown is a civilian version of the same type of Boeing 929 Jetfoil, operating for P&amp;O Ferries. (This is probably the P&amp;O Flying Princess, although it's not clear.) 

Procured in 1979, the HMS Speedy (P296) was intended to work as a Royal Navy mine-sweeping vessel. The ship was the first of a planned class of twelve.  Tests with HMS Speedy were intended to provide the RN with practical experience in the operation and support of a hydrofoil, to establish technical and performance characteristics, and to assess the capability of such a ship not only with the RN but in ancillary service for the Fishery Protection Squadron. After extensive sea trials at Portsmouth were assessed as a failure, the RN lost interest. HMS Speedy was eventually sold into mercantile service in 1986. It remains in operation as a high speed ferry operating between Hong Kong and Macau.

“Primitive Man in a Modern World” (c.1972) is a color, Christian film by the Moody Institute of Science (MIS) Educational Film Division. MIS was founded in 1945 by the Moody Bible Institute and Irwin A. Moon as an evangelical group that used scientific methods to promote certain religious viewpoints to viewers. This film uses the fall of great civilizations such as the Incas, Mayas, Aztecs and Romans as a case study to warn against moral decay and its ability to cause even the mightiest of civilizations to collapse. Composed of footage of Mayan ruins, Machu Picchu, and from the villages of Inca and Mayan descendants, the film tries to paint these people in a “primitive” light who have fallen off course from the glory days of their ancestors. When it was released, the film was roundly condemned in the academic press, with a reviewer in "American Anthropologist" stating that in her opinion,"... this film presents a racist, ethnocentrically biased opinion that smacks of sensational yellow journalistic methods...I have never seen any single item of ‘educational trash’ to equal this film. It combines psychologically questionable scare tactics with an outdated mid-nineteenth century premise, inaccuracies of omission and commission, with a smattering of fact to give an aura of scientific accuracy. And all of this to ‘prove’ an untenable, ridiculous, ethnocentric interpretation of cultural adaptation.”

This rare silent film shows tests of the SR N3 Hovercraft, which was built by the British Hovercraft Corporation. SR.N3 was launched in 1963 and was a military version of the SR.N2 hovercraft designed by Saunders-Roe. (Built by Westland and Saunders-Roe, the SR N2 is widely regarded as the prototype for commercial hovercraft, and was developed based on lessons learned from the SR.N1 research craft.)

The SR.N3 could cruise at 70 knots. Propulsion and lift was provided by four rear-mounted Bristol-Siddeley Gnome gas turbine engines. The British Interservice Hovercraft Trials Unit or IHTU, based at Browndown, Stokes Bay, tested the SR.N3 in a wide variety of conditions, including ice. On 16 September 1964 an SR.N3 operated satisfactorily in a full gale and six foot seas. However, the SR.N3 never entered full service and ended up being used for target practice.

This 1975 U.S. Navy alcoholism awareness film "Down the Hatch" shows the powerful, negative effects that can come from consuming, and becoming addicted to, hard liquor. The film tells the story of an alcoholic's journey from corrupted childhood, where his abusive, alcoholic step-father tells him he will never amount to anything, through an insecure youth filled with tragedy, to a bleak adulthood defined by regret, all the result of his and his parents' exposure to drink. Even a terrible drinking-and-driving car accident caused by teenage John, in which his girlfriend died, doesn't change John's habits. John ruins his marriage and family, his Navy career, and his life through the bottle. This film was produced by the Petersen Company, with a script by Harvey R. Langee, M.D., and featuring medical illustrations from The Ciba Collection of Medical Illustrations, 1972, by Frank H. Netter, M.D.  

The film opens with John, at a bar, staring at a drink which has a beetle or cockroach in it, then transitions to a mother walking her child partway to school (1:00). The boy is shown again standing with his lunchbox, with a depiction of a knight dressed in red on it (1:32). The boy is shown being berated by his stepfather, while drinking a beer (2:26). Teenage, high school age John and Priscilla are shown (2:54). The college football field is shown with the scoreboard (3:31). John is shown not taking no for an answer when he asks Priscilla to go steady with him. (2:54-4:19). John is shown drinking and driving, and he crashes the car. These scenes could be triggering (4:29-4:52). John, now a Navy sailor, is shown drunk at a bar and pestering patrons (5:43). He is then shown in Mr. Hendricks’s off...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8b4752c5-266f-47f0-9d0d-823edeb3aa09/6ae73591-67d4-40ca-81e9-4f61a97cfc34-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/icwtUkQKCs5YRQakrveNdz</video:player_loc><video:duration>2034</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T09:01:46.280Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8nJt8rn7hVEk6zDGSRTzj2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a5c2b770-94dd-4d5a-b565-80a3574545a1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" LET'S TALK ABOUT MAKING WATCHES "  MANUFACTURING BULOVA ACCUTRON WRIST WATCH 1960  XD75185</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This short film "Making Watches" was part of an educational series called "Let's Talk About", which was created to fill time during gaps in children's TV programming and for use in schools. It was produced by Richard B. Morros in 1961. The film shows the manufacture of Bulova Accutron wristwatches, including making of bridge plates (:56) by automatic machinery. At (1:03), pinion leaf cutters -- tiny lathes producing gears -- are shown. Women are shown at work because, according to the narrator, "they are more dextrous at handling tiny things."  The gears move on an oil flow which functions as a conveyor belt. At (1:54), pinion gears are shown. At (2:09), a watchmaker assembles a watch and tests them (2:23) against U.S. Naval Observatory time. At (2:37) watches are dunked to make sure they are waterproof. At (2:55) the tuning forks of the electronic watches are tested -- 360 cycles per second. "These watches represent man's progress from sun dials and water clocks to the newest electronic marvel." 

Producer Richard B. Morros started a trend in producing short content, by making a series of newsreel shorts called "Almanac" which were distributed by Official Films. The "Let's Talk About" series debuted in 1960 with a pilot showing operations on a duck farm. Geared at young audiences, the films were distributed in schools and syndicated TV, and there was a book tie-in. 

At the time this film was made the Accutron was brand new. Bulova's "Accutron" watches, first sold in October 1960, use a 360 Hz tuning fork instead of a balance wheel as the timekeeping element. It was invented by Max Hetzel, who joined the Bulova in 1950. The tuning fork was powered by a one-transistor electronic oscil...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3bb8c2ee-dcd9-45ad-98ef-06f748c15281/6bcb7823-660d-470f-b97d-504e01139567-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8nJt8rn7hVEk6zDGSRTzj2</video:player_loc><video:duration>230</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T09:01:50.657Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/srZ3ESwUsJXgoeATDsTn4e</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a9671bd1-81d9-47d6-9438-4e3b6c672287.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"MACNAMARA'S BAND"  IRISH SOUNDIE 1940s MUSIC VIDEO w/ GUS VAN   XD50974b</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Note: this film contains a distasteful, shameful display of black face at the 1:48 mark. Viewer discretion is advised.

One of a series of music films made in the 1940s by Minoco Productions, this "soundie" features Gus Van. It was directed by Warren Murray and produced by Fred Waller. (Note: this song was written by Shamus O'Connor and John J. Stamford. It achieved much more fame when performed by Bing Crosby.)

Soundies are three-minute American musical films, produced between 1940 and 1947, each displaying a song, dance, and/or band or orchestral number. Produced professionally on 35 mm black-and-white film, like theatrical motion pictures, they were printed on the more portable and economical 16 mm film.  Some of the films were shown in a coin-operated "movie jukebox" named the Panoram, manufactured by the Mills Novelty Company of Chicago. 

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. We collect, scan and preserve 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction.

Footage shows the 1947 world speed record attempt at Bonneville, made by John Rhodes Cobb. Cobb was three times holder of the World Land Speed Record, in 1938, 1939 and 1947, earning him the press moniker "The Fastest Man Alive". This record remained in place until 1963, when it was surpassed by the American Craig Breedlove. Cobb died in 1952 in an attempt to break the World Water Speed Record on Loch Ness water in Scotland.  The car shown was known as the Railton Special (later rebuilt as the Railton Mobil Special), designed by Reid Railton and built for John Cobb's successful attempts at the land speed record in 1938.

Produced by St. Louis Ordnance Plant Protection Department, “Methods of Self Defense” is a short, color instructional film likely from sometime during WWII, when security and espionage concerns at defense plants was deemed to be of supreme importance.

Two men, Chief of Plant Protection F. Lincoln Luke, a graduate of the FBI's National Police Academy, and Lt. A.H. Devan, demonstrate the self defense methods throughout the course of the 10-minute film. The demonstrations take place in an empty room and are repeated and in slow-motion so that the viewer may capture every detail of the strategy.

This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as the "TV's biggest, little show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "What is the different between Florida hurricanes, Central American papagayos, and China Seas typhoons?"  If you got the right answer you must be very smart so take a bow! 

Footage shows the hurricane of 1945 which severely impacted Florida and damaged the Richmond Naval Air Station. 

Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air. 

Jim Hawthorne (1918 –2007) was a beloved radio personality, disc jockey and TV comic actor who produced (in addition to Quicky Quiz!) the short format show "Jim Hawthorne's Funny World". He worked for a variety of TV stations including KLAC / Los Angeles Channel 13, where he created the first late evening talk show on television, "This Is Hawthorne."

“Legal Information for Law Enforcement: Landlord-Tenant Disputes and the Police” (1970s) is a police training film presented by the Attorney General of the State of California as part of a larger series. Funded by a grant from the California Council on Criminal Justice, this film seeks to highlight legal action that can be taken by landlords and tenants in light of landlord-tenant disputes before needing to call the cops. This film follows the scripted story of a group of young tenants who come to find that their disgruntled landlord has taken disciplinary actions into his own hands by removing doors, changing locks, and stopping the electricity. Furthermore, the film underscores the work of the newly created Landlord-Tenant Intervention Unit at the Oakland Police Department.

Footage shows the main streets of Weepah, Nevada, which is known as "the last gold rush" in the West. Gold was discovered at Weepah in 1927, almost two decades after most of the major gold districts had been located. The initial discovery was a nugget that assayed at thousands of dollars per ton, which caused quite a stir and resulted in a gold rush. A tent city soon developed with thousands of frenzied gold seekers. As the footage shows, a barrel of water sold for a whopping $5, and haircuts were $1 each.

"Championship Basketball" features Nat Holman, the famed coach of the City College of New York, speaking about the great game. The film covers the fine points of basketball as played by "bigtime" college teams. Among the court strategies discussed by Holman are the pivot (plus variations), screens, retrieves / rebounds, defenses versus pass plays, the properly executed layup, overloading, the shifting zone defense, the sliding man-to-man with zone principle, and others. The film was released in 1941 by Official Films. 

Holman was known as "Mr. Basketball" during his lifetime. He was an American professional basketball player, college coach, a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and is the only coach to lead his team to NCAA and National Invitation Tournament (NIT) championships in the same season.

Footage shows the sheriff and his "dry raiders" aka government revenue men in Asheville, North Carolina destroying an illegal still operation in 1930.  The automobiles of the bootleggers are lit afire by the lawmen and barrels, bottles and other equipment are smashed and the liquor poured down the gutter.

Made for the U.S. Navy, this 1950 film "Let's Get it Straight" attempts to educate sailors about the nature of alcohol, and the dangers posed by drinking and alcohol's effects on the mind and body. The film features Dr Howard W. Haggard, the first director of the Yale Lab of Applied Physiology. One of the many initiatives Doctor Haggard was the father of, he began the modern study of alcoholism. His research team later grew into the Yale Center of Alcohol Studies, which, in 1962, moved to Rutgers University. One of Haggard’s primary interests was the effect of alcohol on the human body. After the repeal of national prohibition in the 1930s, Haggard’s Section on the Study of Alcohol did some of the first research that combined many disciplines to develop treatment for alcoholism.

The film begins and a pub called Holmes Pugs Dianos is shown (012). The narrator first describes alcohol as warm and friendly (0:43-57). The film shows a sailor passing out and then, the narrator warns about having too many drinks (1:09). A chemical lab extracting ethyl alcohol is shown (1:21). The Yale University School of Alcohol Studies is shown (1:38). Doctor Howard W. Haggard appears on screen (1:44). Doctor Haggard shows the similarities of the chemical compositions between alcohol and ether (2:24). Haggard then displays a diagram of a human’s stomach and small intestines, and explains that alcohol does not need to be digested before it is absorbed into the blood (2:50). A bottle of beer is shown, and Haggard explains that a typical bottle contains no more than less than half an ounce of alcohol (3:59). A glass of strong wine carries 4/5ths of an ounce of alcohol (4:09). Mixed drinks can vary, but may i...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9af57fc8-315e-417f-a873-ee181802149d/0e62b906-448e-4a8d-bfc0-05917e7cee92-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/k8Q8geiVmMB5APrrZjqqUV</video:player_loc><video:duration>887</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T09:33:09.482Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7Ay5h9tGC65N4YJfpVHFcQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0f0e0ddc-01e1-4cbc-bd50-0053bb824452.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" IDENTIFICATION OF NORTH AMERICAN P-51 MUSTANG FIGHTER "  WWII AIRCRAFT SPOTTER FILM XD65324</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as the "TV's biggest, little show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "On what river is Coolidge Dam built?"  If you got the right answer, you must be very smart so take a bow! 

Footage shows aerial footage of the dedication of the dam in 1928. The Coolidge Dam is a reinforced concrete multiple dome and buttress dam 31 miles southeast of Globe, Arizona. Built between 1924 and 1928, the Coolidge Dam was part of the San Carlos Irrigation Project.

Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air. 

Jim Hawthorne (1918 –2007) was a beloved radio personality, disc jockey and TV comic actor who produced (in addition to Quicky Quiz!) the short format show "Jim Hawthorne's Funny World". He worked for a variety of TV stations including KLAC / Los Angeles Channel 13, where he created the first late evening talk show on television, "This Is Hawthorne."

“Mississippi Tow Boats” is a color promotional film from the 1960s made by filmmaker Dean Moore Sr.'s Condor Film Co. for the Federal Barge Lines Company. (Based in St. Louis, Moore was a fascinating character and a former OSS operative who flew as a Pan Am steward on the B314 clippers.) This film underscores the ways in which the inland waterways coupled with the power and prowess of barges and towboats serve the industries of the Central United States and the world as a means of low cost, reliable shipping. This film contains significant archival material regarding the history of the company as well as primary and secondary materials related to the operation of towboats and barges, shipbuilding, and company employees. Federal Barge Lines was originally set up and run by the government during WWI but was eventually sold to Saint Louis Shipbuilding, owned by businessman Herman T. Pott.

Dating to the early 1960s, this Ford Aeronutronic Division film shows a prototype mobile command and control outpost, AN/MSQ-19, which would also contain the Army's first mobile computer system. The film was apparently made to promote the system within the Army and/or Congress, which funded the program. The U.S. Army Tactical Operations Central AN/MSQ-19 was apparently an outgrowth of the AN/MSQ-1A, a Close Support Control Set for the Martin MGM-1 Matador ground launched cruise missile which was developed by the Reeves Instrument Corp., with display systems provided by Philco. The film shows staff working in a prototype unit, which was almost certainly not fully functional. At (2:06) input devices such as s teletype / typewriter called Tactun and a map graph system which furnish data, called Grapton, are shown as well as a computer called the "MOBIDIC B" (short for "MOBIle DIgital Computer"). An "automatic slide generator" converts the input data into visual material (2:17), and displays it for commanders and staff both inside the command center. The same visuals are provided to staff at other remote locations through vacuum tube distribution. At (2:32) one of the major components / buildings of the system are shown as well as artist impression of the full system, which would consist of multiple power and memory trucks, teletype unit, and other components. (The full system according to a U.S. Army book would have consisted of MOBIDIC B computer, Screening Annex, Operations Control, Mass Memory, Switchboard, Maintenance Center, Operations and Communications Center units.) At (3:10) the teletype center is shown and a demonstration of a typical message delivery is demonstrated.

This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as the "TV's biggest, little show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "Where is the 'skyscraper of tomorrow' (1952) located?"  

If you got the right answer, you must be very smart so take a bow! 

Footage shows the Lever Brothers building on Park Avenue, also known as the Lever House. It is a 307-foot-tall (94 m) office building that was designed in the International Style by Gordon Bunshaft and Natalie de Blois of Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill (SOM) as the headquarters of soap company Lever Brothers, a subsidiary of Unilever, and was constructed from 1950 to 1952. The building contains 21 office stories topped by a triple-height mechanical section. The ground story contains a courtyard and public space, while the second story overhangs the plaza on a set of columns.  

Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air. 

Jim Hawthorne (1918 –2007) was a beloved radio personality, disc jockey and TV comic actor who produced (in addition to Quicky Quiz!) the short format show "Jim Hawthorne's Funny World". He worked for a variety of TV stations including KLAC / Los Angeles Channel 13, where he created the first late evening talk show on television, "This Is Hawthorne."

"Oasis in the Arctic" is a short, color, amateur-made film about Fort Churchill (the present day Churchill Airport) in Manitoba, Canada. The fort was established in 1942 by the United States Army Air Forces. It was initially used as a training base by both Canada and the United States. At the time the film was made, the Fort was in use as a Royal Canadian Air Force base in support of the construction and operation of the Distant Early Warning Line, or DEW Line, and later for Strategic Air Command. This film shows a community of people thriving against the elements in the subarctic climate in the northernmost port of Canada. The film was produced by Hugh Randolph and narrated by Ronald Schulman. It's not clear why it was made, but it doesn't appear commercial, and may have been presented as a military briefing film concerning the building of the DEW Line. 

Line of trees marks the treeline -- north of which trees do not grow. A Douglas DC-6 airplane takes off from the air strip in the snow. Completely white shots of landscapes in the Arctic. Title shots appear as well as superimposed titles: “The Kolor Is Ansco The Print is Kodachrome (1:47).” Another reads “The Photography is Hugh Randolph’s SMPTE” (SMPTE means Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers).

This safety and informational film was intended to train nurses or hospital staff of the correct procedures for using the Monoject injection system using the sterile platform technique. A nurse demonstrates the handling and disposal of the syringe, with an emphasis of safety and sanitation. Monoject needles (which are still in use today) are needle-based safety devices that protect the healthcare worker from accidental needlestick injuries. The easy one-handed design and robust safety shield of the Monoject Syringe ensure the clinician is protected against any exposures from sharps injury.

Title “Monoject Injection System.” Pan of a drawer, syringes and a red box on top of pink satin (00:20). Close up of two, then four syringes. A red box reads “Contaminated.” Syringes sit upright in a sterile platform system (00:54). A nurse opens a green metal drawer with a key. She pulls out a plastic tube. She twists the cap of the tube and demonstrates proper opening technique (1:37). She demonstrates how the heat seal works and what it means if it is loose. She opens a new one and pulls the syringe out. She uses the syringe to draw medication (3:09). She pulls the sheath over the needle. She carries the mono tray of syringes to a man lying in bed and injects him (3:40). The used syringe is returned to its sheath and platform. The nurse bends the needle back and forth into it snaps into the sheath. She then breaks the tip off into the sheath and places the parts into the red contamination box (4:30). She breaks a new syringe using the platform this time. She snaps a third syringe. The locked green drawer is opened. She twists a new plastic tube breaking the heat seal, ensuring the sterility of t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/80e081b7-1eab-4748-9920-e35cade1e161/87b6ea72-e90c-472b-a9e9-f7f824a54e17-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gV2CLMKesXTG7oebwcXbse</video:player_loc><video:duration>556</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T09:47:29.449Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/q6iF4FxsRGhW5raxNp1KWX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f9993e22-a17a-476c-a791-d716d76f6e9f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>QUICKY QUIZ #18    WHAT IS THE NICKNAME OF THE U.S. ARMY'S 2.5 TON REO SNORKEL TRUCK?

This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as the "TV's biggest, little show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "What was the nickname of the U.S. Army's REO 2.5 ton snorkel truck?"  If you got the right answer, you must be very smart so take a bow! 

Footage shows the  American 'snorkel truck' driving across bumpy terrain during a demonstration by manufacturer REO. The amphibious truck drives towards water of Chesapeake Bay and goes in. According to reports, the truck could operate for up to 4 hours while submerged, and its waterproofed engine could even be shut off and turned on underwater through the snorkel. 

Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air. 

Jim Hawthorne (1918 –2007) was a beloved radio personality, disc jockey and TV comic actor who produced (in addition to Quicky Quiz!) the short format show "Jim Hawthorne's Funny World". He worked for a variety of TV stations including KLAC / Los Angeles Channel 13, where he created the first late evening talk show on television, "This Is Hawthorne."

We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!  See something interesting?  Tell people what it is and what they can see by writing something for example: "01:00:12:00 -- President Roosevelt is seen meeting with Winston Churchill at the Quebec Conference."

This travelogue film was made by Norman Schley, a filmmaker from Wisconsin who made many wonderful travelogue films. It likely dates to the late 1950s/early 1960s. This narrated documentary and takes the viewer to Nassau in Providence Island, the largest city and capital of the Bahamas. Nassau was historically considered a haven for pirates and British loyalists alike. The tourists in the film also take a boat to Rose Island, where tropical cocktails and white sandy beaches abound.

This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as the "world's shortest TV show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "What was the name of the woman who famously leapt from the Russian consulate in 1948?"  If you got the right answer, you must be very smart so take a bow!
 
The background on this -- Mrs. K--, jumped from a third floor window of the Soviet Consulate in New York as part of an attempt to escape, but not kill herself.  She revealed to the press, while recovering in Roosevelt Hospital, that she had decided to escape from Russia even before she left there to teach the  children of Soviet diplomats in the United States. Kasenkina later disappeared and was believed by the American public to have been abducted by Soviet officials after supposedly wishing to seek asylum in the United States. Decades later it was revealed that K-- suffered from emotional instability and erratic behavior, and that the "leap to freedom" was likely an attempt at self harm. The incident led to a breach of consular relations between the United States and the Soviet Union.

Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air.

"The Search" was a CBS non-fiction TV program that aired in the early 1950s. In this episode, narrated by Charles Romine, a mother visits the Johns Hopkins University Hearing and Speech Center (now the Department of Audiology) to get her son's hearing issue diagnosed. The episode shows how doctors conduct different tests on the child to determine his specific issue, and the steps that are taken to improve his situation. The mother is also taken around the Center to see children and adults receive hearing training. At the end of the episode, the child is fitted with a hearing aid -- most likely one that used transistors -- and it is shown how he reacts to different types of sound.

This rarely seen, black and white 1947 theatrical short-subject film is part of an obscure series called "Woman Speaks" that looked at the changing representations of women in post-war society. It was produced by H.A. Spanuth and directed by Jack Lieb, with narration by Shirley Van De Sande. This episode, "Home (Plate) is the Place for Women Now!" focuses on professional women's baseball teams, in this case the Bluebirds and Parichy's Bloomer Girls. The venue shown is Bidwell Stadium, at located at 1975 E 75th St. in Chicago. These teams were part of the National Girls Baseball League (NGBL) which was a professional women's baseball league which existed from 1944 to 1954, with teams based in Chicago, Illinois. The National Girls Baseball League started a year after the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL), which was featured in the film "A League of Their Own". In addition to the  Bloomer Girls and Bluebirds, the 1947 teams included the Chicks, Queens, Music Maids and Cardinals (former Sparks). The 1947 Champion was Parichy's Bloomer Girls of Forest Park, IL.  Gwen Wong (shown in the film) finished that season 14-9 and then left baseball to become a missionary. With the resumption of professional baseball in the post-war period, the National Girls Baseball League came under increasing financial pressure, and finally succumbed in 1954.

The film shows fans showing up for a game in the midwest, and players emerging from the locker room (1:20). At 1:39, large crowds are shown in the stadium. At 1:47, Pat Carson the leading home run hitter, and Loretta Davis of the Queens are shown. At 1:57, Bloomer Girls player Wilda Mae Turner rests a sprained ankle.

“Plan for Progress: The Story of Pomona’s Mall” is a mid 1960s color documentary that chronicles the story of the Pomona Mall in downtown Pomona, California. Produced by the Pomona Public Library, the Pomona Mall was hailed as one of the first pedestrian malls in the United States and nationally recognized as a blueprint for urban revitalization. It was completed in 1962 and designed by Millard Sheets, a noted artist, teacher, and architectural designer. Sheets was one of the earliest of the California Scene Painting artists and helped define the art movement. The film was written and directed by Allen E. Peck, and follows the various stages of the project from inception and design to breaking ground and hosting civic events along the walkway.

Narrated by Virginia Gregg and Ann Tobin “Woman Speaks Volume 1” highlights women’s achievements in the post-war era. This black-and-white newsreel film is an episode in a larger series by the same name. This particular installment sheds light on women entrepreneurs and scientists from Mrs. Nan Songer to the famous Marie Curie in addition to advancements for women outside of the Western world in India. 

With the end of World War II in 1945, veterans were returning home and women laborers were being let go from their war-time jobs. At the same time, magazines and newspapers targeted these women and invited them to become post-war consumers which coincided with the national expansion of television in 1946. Chicago-based film producer H.A. Spanuth was one of the first postwar film-makers to take advantage of television to address women. From 1945-1949, he broadcasted this combination newsreel/ television show Woman Speaks.

The footage in the film shows an elderly George Bernard Shaw. Shaw was a renowned Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. He wrote more than sixty plays, including major works such as Man and Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1913) and Saint Joan (1923). With a range incorporating both contemporary satire and historical allegory, Shaw became the leading dramatist of his generation, and in 1925 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Disclaimer: Cigarette smoking KILLS more than 480,000 Americans each year. Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States. It is linked to heart disease, emphysema and cancer.

These TV commercials for Marlboro Cigarettes date to 1956. This was the era before the moment the famous "Marlboro Man" definitively emerged as a cowboy. In these ads, the figures promoting the cancer sticks are gentlemen and sportsmen. At :18, a Southern plantation owner in a string tie offers the "best cigarette west of Virginia" to viewers. At 1:33, the jingle "filter, flavor, flip top box...you get a lot to like with a Marlboro" accompanies a cowboy working on a ranch. At 2:33, a guest at the Beverly Hilton Hotel dives into the swimming pool and enjoys a Marlboro poolside. At 3:20, a fisherman smokes while casting a line. At 4:10, a private pilot smokes a cigarette after landing at a small airport. At 5:11, a rock climber relaxes after scaling a cliff, by smoking a nice lung-destroying Marlboro.

This 1974 U.S. Navy recruitment film looks at the role of women in the Navy. The starting point is the re-commissioning of the USS Sanctuary, a hospital ship that is the first to host an integrated crew of men and women. It goes over the historic roles of women in the Navy in the two World Wars and the Korean War. Then it looks at the changes in the 1960s/1970s that open more roles to women, which includes interviews with women in different roles including several firsts such as first woman in a Navy band Evangeline Bailey, first solo flight Judith Newport, and the first female Admiral Alene Duerk. There is also a short talk by Admiral Zumwalt, the Chief of Naval Operations, after a focus group meeting with Navy women to determine recommendations for better integration approaches. The film was directed by Robert Sibley, written by Nancy Dickerson.

Presented by the United States Marine Corps, “Thoroughly Modern Molly” is a color, informational film from 1968 that highlights and celebrates the work of the women Marines who served their country. The statue known as ‘Molly Marine’ was originally commissioned by Marine Technical Sgt. Charles Gresham, a recruiter, in hopes to increase enlistment of females into the military during World War II.  Molly Marine was the first statue of a woman in uniform, and it was erected on the Corps' birthday, Nov. 10, 1943 in New Orleans, La. While 1943 was the inaugural year for female Marines, the film opens with footage from the rededication ceremony of the statue in 1966 to honor all of the “modern Mollys” and goes on to feature scenes that highlight a woman Marine’s training, duties, and posts around the world.

This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as the "world's shortest TV show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "When was the first recorded reference to deuling with swords made?"  If you got the right answer, you must be very smart so take a bow!
 
The background on this -- in 1949 French lawyer Roger Nordmann (aka Pierre Nordmann in The Unfree French: Life Under the Occupation) took exception when his brother was deported after denunciation by one of lawyer Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour clients. The affair ended after blood had been drawn from Nordmann.

Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air.

Presented by the Firestone Tire &amp; Rubber Co., this film "Shape of the Future" follows the North American IndyCar Series at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1966 during the prestigious Indy 500 race. First run in 1911, the Indy 500 is famous in the world of motorsports and is still run every year today, drawing some of the largest crowds seen in sports. Well reflected in this video, the 1966 Indy 500 was a particularly exciting race since it featured several legendary Formula 1 and IndyCar drivers such as James Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, and Mario Andretti, and additionally a host of accidents and car troubles for the drivers. Occurring on the first lap is a large accident involving 11 of the 33 cars on the field. Then again upon reset, another accident occurred involving one car in the first turn. Throughout the race there will amount to enough difficulties that only 7 cars will finish—the lowest number of cars to finish ever in an Indy 500.(0:07) Indy race cars driving through pit lane of Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Background on this episode: the Rover JET 1 automobile shown, was a gas turbine car originally built in Solihull in 1949-50 by the Rover Company, and later modified to be more aerodynamic. It and driver Spencer King set a world speed record for a gas turbine-powered car in 1952 with a speed of 152.691 mph. The JET 1 is currently on display at the London Science Museum.

This 1955 U.S. Army film was one of a series about how to fire a machine gun. This particular film focuses on the "auxiliary aiming point". For instructional purposes the film uses an M1919 Browning, which is a .30 caliber medium machine gun that was widely used during the 20th century, especially during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.  The demonstration utilizes the M74 weapons mount or tripod for stability, and a water jacket for cooling of the barrel. Narration: "As a machine gunner, you may find it necessary to use auxiliary aiming points in order to engage targets. An auxiliary aiming point is an object or a point used by the gunner for laying a gun on a target, when the target cannot be seen. The aiming point must be visible to the gunner regardless of his ability to see the target and must be not more than 20 mils off the line gun target. Using the heavy machine gun to obtain data using an auxiliary aiming point -- the gun is first played on the target with the correct sight setting. When the tactical situation permits, the initial lay is verified by firing. Then, without disturbing the lay of the gun, the rear sight is adjusted for deflection and elevation until the line of aim is directed at a well-defined part of the auxiliary aiming point. The center of the white "X" on the stump. The settings of the rear sight leaf and the windage scale are carefully noted in this case. They are: deflection right one seven, elevation 1500.

This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as the "TV's biggest little show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "what year did the Farnborough Air Show Disaster take place?"  The background on this incident is as follows: A prototype de Havilland DH.110 jet fighter crashed during an aerial display at the Farnborough Airshow in Hampshire, England. The jet disintegrated mid-air during an aerobatic manoeuvre, causing the death of pilot John Derry and onboard flight test observer Anthony Richards. Debris from the aircraft fell onto a crowd of spectators, killing 29 people and injuring 60.

Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air. 



The cause of the break-up was later determined to be structural failure due to a design flaw in the wing's leading edge. All DH.110s were initially grounded, but after modification to its design, the type entered service with the Royal Navy as the Sea Vixen. Stricter safety procedures were subsequently enacted for UK air shows and there were no further spectator fatalities until the 2015 Shoreham Airshow crash in which 11 people died

Shot by an unknown American who had a passion for all thing aviation, this extraordinary silent home movie shows scenes shot in the early 1930s. The film features several planes, one of which is a 2-seat Waco 10 biplane tail # NC669N. Unfortunately, we do not know who owned or piloted that aircraft, and everyone in the film is anonymous. The film is fascinating in that it shows the early era of aviation, where private pilots landed on golf courses and flew with wild abandon to whatever destination they chose. The amateur cinematographer got some amazing images for the era, including many air to air shots from a moving plane. 

Scenes include the following:

(:14) Florida beaches seen from NC669N, 1930. At (:24) the pilot or passenger's face is shown in the cockpit. At (:29) buzzing over a car driving along a dirt road. At (:50) take off from golf course at Mountain Lake, Florida (Lake Wales, Florida). At (1:34) wingtip views of Florida Shores.  At (4:18) is an interesting shot from the air of a decrepit, ruined resort hotel, possibly destroyed in the devastating Okeechobee Hurricane of 1928. At (4:32) the SS Allan Jackson, an Standard Oil tanker, is buzzed. (This ship would be torpedoed and sink in 1942.) At (4:54) the fliers visit Daytona Beach, Florida. At (5:09) a title card announces "Our Flight Home from Detroit" and shows two aircraft flying in loose formation. At (6:49), 1932 flights at DeLand, Florida. These are rather extraordinary images as they are amateur shot from a moving plane, of another aircraft taking off and climbing.  At (12:30) are images of Miami shot from the air, and at (13:34) Palm Beach.

This undated black-and-white film, “Thirty-Six Feet to Tahiti,” is part of Jack Douglas’s (born Jonathan Aivaz) Bold Journey TV series, which ran from 1956-1959. Douglas invited adventurers onto the program to narrate their home movie footage of expeditions. This film documents ichthyologists Jack and Helen Randall’s 1955 voyage from Honolulu, Hawaii to Papeete, Tahiti aboard the Nani, a 36-foot ketch. Also onboard were their toddler daughter Lori Randall and engineer Norman Baker. Helen narrates from the Malibu, California beach house of friends. Jack Randall shot most of the footage, and is consequently absent from most frames.
The film is undated but appears to have first aired in December of 1957. Credits: Jack Douglas, creator; Julian Lesser, producer; Bill O’Hara, editor.

After title, film opens on Douglas, standing in a suit on a basic set, ropes tied to a pin rail behind him, one hand on a globe turned to the Americas (00:14). The Nani sailing through the open ocean, an island visible behind its light-colored sails (00:50). A chaise lounge on a Malibu beach house balcony, sandy beach and crashing waves visible just past the balcony railing (01:08). Camera pans to interior, Douglas stands before closed cabinetry stacked with books, thin microphone in his hands (01:18). Helen enters wearing a dress with a long sash at the waist and a brooch around her neck to be interviewed by Douglas (01:29). Title card presented as book pages, illustration of the Nani (03:25). Nani in drydock, Helen painting its hull (03:30). Jack Randall loading food boxes onboard (03:38). Lori sitting on deck smiling, pigtailed; Lori playing with rigging turnbuckle (03:48).

Billed as the "TV's biggest little show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "what is the name of London's celebrated bridge, first built in 1817, demolished in 1936 and then rebuilt?"   The footage shows Herbert Morrison opening the bridge across the Thames in 1945. The first bridge on the site was designed in 1807–10 by John Rennie for the Strand Bridge of Life and opened in 1817 as a toll bridge. In the 1930s London County Council decided to demolish the bridge and replace it with a new structure designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. The engineers were Ernest Buckton and John Cuerel of Rendel Palmer &amp; Tritton. Construction of the new bridge began in 1937 and it was partially opened on Tuesday 11 March 1942 and "officially opened" in September 1942. However, it was not fully completed until 1945.

“How to Fly the B-26 Airplane - Loading” is a short 1940s educational film produced by the First Motion Picture Unit of the Army Air Forces (AAF) about properly loading the B-26 Marauder to incorporate its center of gravity (CG). After reviewing the basics of a plane’s weight distribution, a lieutenant learns how to properly load his aircraft.  The Martin B-26 Marauder twin-engined medium bomber saw extensive service during the war, with over 5000 produced between February 1941 and March 1945. The plane emerged from the war with one of the lowest loss rates. 
 
(0:30) A B-26 airplane taxis into position, takes off, and makes turns in the air. The plane then approaches for landing. Narrator explains that the pilot should ensure the plane is loaded properly so that the aircraft will have a smoother flight. It's key to determine that the center of gravity is known (2:04) Animation, likely from either the Disney or Warner Bros. studios, of the B-26 taking off and demonstrating the plane’s nose diving due to improper center of gravity and crashing. Another clip demonstrates the center of gravity when tail heavy, resulting in the plane climbing and stalling.

“P-38 Lightning” is a short film promoting the American P-38 fighter plane, otherwise known as the P-38 Lightning. Used during WWII, it was developed in 1941 for the U.S. Army Air Corps by the Lockheed Corporation, which eventually merged with the Martin Marietta Corporation to form Lockheed Martin in 1995. The plane was the only American fighter aircraft in large-scale production throughout the entire duration of the war. Directed by S.C. Burden with a script by Walter Wise, and animation by Disney studios' Lester Norvos. It was narrated by Pat McGeehan. 

(0:14) View of clouds in the sky from a moving plane. Three American P-38 fighter planes fly over a mountainous landscape. Shots of the planes climbing, taking off from a runway (probably Palmdale, California), and shooting ammunition (1:45) People on the ground view the P-38s as they fly above them (2:19) The men and women who build the planes. Shots of workers putting the planes together, from rivets and bolts to plate assembly. The planes include 4,800 feet of wire, 66 switches, and 1,500 feet of aluminum tubing (3:03) Pilots in uniform walk onto the runway as they prepare to fly the planes. Primary trainer planes line up on the tarmac for pilot training. Includes close-up of the seating area with the plane’s door raised (3:59) A “Lightning piggyback,” the trainer / instruction version of the plane, is built to accommodate a trainer and a student. Two men board the piggyback plane and the student asks his trainer a series of questions (4:57) Windows must be closed before takeoff to help ensure normal airflow. An open window can cause turbulence.

This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as "TV's biggest little show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "what was the name of the Germany's monster gun of WWI?"  If you got the right answer, you must be very smart so take a bow!

The segment features footage of French soldiers destroying one of the German artillery pieces, post WWI in 1919.

Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air. 

Jim Hawthorne (1918 –2007) was a beloved radio personality, disc jockey and TV comic actor who produced (in addition to Quicky Quiz!) the short format show "Jim Hawthorne's Funny World". He worked for a variety of TV stations including KLAC / Los Angeles Channel 13, where he created the first late evening talk show on television, "This Is Hawthorne."We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

“G and You” is a 1943 U.S. Navy training film about the measurement of G-force, a force per unit mass, and its effects on the body regarding flying and gravity. To help counter the effects g-force when flying fighter and dive bomber aircraft, pilots are given anti-blackout g-suits that provide essential pressure points that help blood flow normally. Classified as a confidential film, it was originally released for the viewing of authorized personnel only. The film was produced under the supervision of the Bureau of Aeronautics for the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. The animated segments in the film were likely made by the Walt Disney Co., which contributed to many wartime training films. 

(0:49) As airplanes fly, energy is required to change direction, with this momentum having an effect on the human body. A harness protects the pilot from the resulting momentum from a crash landing. Centrifugal force feeds this momentum that launches you forward (3:22) Your resulting weight is due to the force of gravity, and centrifugal force changes your effective weight, so it is measured in terms of the pull of gravity with the expression “G”. One G is normal, can be positive or negative, and can change when you turn the plane. It can be measured with an accelerometer (6:10) A pull-out from a dive can increase the G acting downwards x7 or more, resulting in you and the plane weighing x7 normal. Your blood will be heavy and not circulate, resulting in you blacking out (8:00) The effects of G can also be studied on a human centrifuge in a controlled environment with cameras on the subject (11:31) Blackouts result from effects on blood circulation and G. Blood gets heavier during tight maneuvers o...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/21430f56-4b9c-4fef-a2ec-74f06b791301/a7a2497c-f000-40be-b437-2206a5ac31c9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/57e3VRj1zNE3atHuFjgSE6</video:player_loc><video:duration>2524</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T10:33:20.147Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ucy98brZqC8F3Z9eKuW1VZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/64ee4544-00f5-4c80-acf5-3d6f9ffd2950.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“THE ALL-AMERICAN NEWS”  AFRICAN AMERICAN NEWSREEL WWII IN ITALY   TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE  XD49924</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

You're watching something few people got to see during WWII -- a special African American newsreel made by and for African Americans. The story behind this begins in November 1942 when producer E.M. Glucksman founded All American News of Chicago, Illinois. The company began releasing newsreels showcasing the lives of America's African Americans, including showing their contributions to the WWII war effort. The newsreels were shown only in African American movie theaters (and did not get shown in all of them -- the nation had 451 segregated theaters in 1943, and these newsreels were shown in 365 of them) . 

This particular newsreel of “The All-American News” dates to 1943 and covers African Americans in the work force, a ceramics class, an interview with F.D.R.’s valet, a waving bear, a supply drop for soldiers on Nettuno Beach in Italy and physical fitness at Tuskegee University. W.E.B. Du Bois and the vaudeville duo Butterbeans and Susie make appearances. 

Intro “All-American News” with Charles Wilson’s head appearing in an illustration of an eye (00:06). A group of men sit around a table with a microphone on it that says WHAS. This is a station in Kentucky and stands for “Wonderful Homes of American Stock.”  They are discussing vocational problems of African Americans on the radio (00:28). The narrator introduces the men as W.E.B. Du Bois, what sounds like J.F. Kane of a plant turning out army work, C.D. Rifkin of The Manpower Commission and Frederic Muraro. Title card reads “Ceramics A Fine Art- Students Make Lowly Mud A Thing of Beauty.” A man mixes clay in a basin. The ceramics instructor kneads the clay in front of his students. Three girls in the class sorting clay (1:36). A student throws a vase on a pottery wheel. Another student smooth coils of clay on top of a vase to make it taller.

This 1933 silent educational film is about Brazil, the state of Rio de Janeiro, the city of São Paulo, and the various natural resources and industries across the country, from farming to manufacturing and production. After 1930, the successive governments following the Old Republic continued the industrial and agricultural growth and development of the vast interior of Brazil. The movie was released as part of a series known as Eastman Classroom Films, which were used (as the name implies) in classrooms around the United States. The film would have originally been accompanied by a study guide or script which would have been read aloud in the classroom.

The Eastern Highlands, on the eastern side of the country in contact with the South Atlantic Ocean, is pointed out (0:27) “São Salvador (Bahia) is the oldest settlement in the New World and is located on the Eastern Highlands.” Includes shots of São Salvador from the water and from a vehicle traveling within the city (1:45) “Cacao,” otherwise known as cocoa beans, are harvested from trees by two workers (1:59) Workers stand along giant cacao piles and cut through the cacao seeds (2:54) “Cassava is a valuable source of food.” A worker lifts a cassava tree and points out its roots (3:16) “Tobacco for Brazilian cigars.” Workers plow through a tobacco field and women in a factory roll cigars and pack them in boxes by hand (3:46) “São Paulo is the leading industrial and agricultural center of Brazil.” A map of Brazil with the city’s location is displayed.

This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as the "world's shortest TV show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "what is a solar battery / solar panel made of?"  If you got the right answer, you must be very smart so take a bow!

The segment features footage of inventors G.L. Pearson, D.M. Chatham and C.L. Fuller are shown. These are Daryl M Chapin, Calvin S Fuller and Gerald L Pearson, who received a patent in 1955 based on an application filed by Bell Telephone Laboratories Inc. Their invention was the first practical device for converting sunlight into useful electrical power. Today, the solar cell powers devices from hand held calculators to the Mars Rover.

Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air. 

Jim Hawthorne (1918 –2007) was a beloved radio personality, disc jockey and TV comic actor who produced (in addition to Quicky Quiz!) the short format show "Jim Hawthorne's Funny World". He worked for a variety of TV stations including KLAC / Los Angeles Channel 13, where he created the first late evening talk show on television, "This Is Hawthorne."We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

The film shows how the weapon has no recoil (1:48) thanks to its breach escape port. At (2:52) a 4" concrete wall is leveled by a hit, and at (3:11) a 3" penetration of armor plating on a tank. At (4:47) the handling of the weapon in the field is shown. At (5:15) a larger version is shown, the 75mm with a panoramic site. 

The M18 recoilless rifle is a 57 mm shoulder-fired, anti-tank recoilless rifle that was used by the U.S. Army in World War II and the Korean War. Recoilless rifles are capable of firing artillery-type shells at reduced velocities comparable to those of standard cannon, but with greater accuracy than anti-tank weapons that used unguided rockets, and almost entirely without recoil. The M18 was a breech-loaded, single-shot, man-portable, crew-served weapon. It could be used in both anti-tank and anti-personnel roles. The weapon could be both shoulder fired or fired from a prone position. The T3 front grip doubled as an adjustable monopod and the two-piece padded T3 shoulder cradle could swing down and to the rear as a bipod for the gunner. The most stable firing position was from the tripod developed for the water-cooled Browning M1917 machine gun.

In 1946, a young filmmaker named Leo Caloia shot 16mm film footage of the "Blue Book Models" -- a group of starlets who posed in fashion shows at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. The Blue Book Modeling Agency was managed by Emmeline Snively, and its most famous member was Norma Jean Baker, later known to the world as Marilyn Monroe. The footage was released in a series of short films made by "World in Color Productions", a short-lived firm created by photographer Harold F. Jenkins. Jenkins' HFJ Pictures catalog included b&amp;w and color versions of the modeling films, as well as more risque titles, and some non-fiction travelogues such as film profiles of national parks. They were sold through ads in magazines and in catalogs.

This reel contains a couple of the "World in Color" releases, beginning with "Seven Sirens" including Marilyn Monroe as well as other models. Footage at 3:38 is a fragment of another "World in Color" release, and was probably provided as a "tease" to the buyer of one of the b&amp;w shorts. At 3:53, "Glamour Newsreel Issue #2" shows scenes at the Ambassador Hotel pool, with models on parade and relaxing poolside with cigarettes (5:15).  At (7:21) another film "Glitter Girls" shows off Blue Book Models lounging in the sun, in new and fairly risque (for the era) bikinis. At (6:00) the models have a bit of fun with a still camera on the grounds of the Ambassador. At 10:42, an untitled film shows two models in dress clothes, admiring flowers. The setting is unknown but could be in the Los Angeles vicinity.

This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as the "TV's biggest little show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "what is the name of the fabulous lifeline" built by U.S. forces in China during WWII?  The footage includes aerial shots of the road, General Claire Chennault, China's Premiere Soong Tse-vung and General Ping.  If you got the right answer, you must be very smart so take a bow!

Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air. 

Jim Hawthorne (1918 –2007) was a beloved radio personality, disc jockey and TV comic actor who produced (in addition to Quicky Quiz!) the short format show "Jim Hawthorne's Funny World". He worked for a variety of TV stations including KLAC / Los Angeles Channel 13, where he created the first late evening talk show on television, "This Is Hawthorne."We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

This revised version of “Alcohol is Dynamite” (1967) is a color, PSA-style film from Coronet Instructional Films that warns against underage drinking. The film is a remake of a black-and-white 1958 Sid Davis Production educational scare film by the same name. The film follows a group of young men who experiment with drinking for the first time. This “experiment” gets out of hand when they put themselves and others at risk and get involved in a deadly car accident. This film features scenes of mid-century modern architecture and commercial signage as well as scenes from residential areas of what seems to be a southern California town.

“Sweeten the Day with Candy” is a 1930s silent promotional film about the energy-related benefits of sugar and candy and their relation to other dietary intake needs. In the movie, the "Spirit of Candy" educates a track and field coach about sugar, and the coach then realizes his mistake and calls back a player he originally disqualified from competing due to candy intake. The film was created by the publicity department at the National Confectioners Association, which sponsored a co-operative advertising campaign with the slogan “Sweeten the Day with Candy!” starting in 1928. 

(0:09) The dangers of candy listed in title cars, including making people crosseyed and more insane (0:49) The Spirit of Candy comes out of a candy box and she speaks to the coach who is looking at the box about how she’s there to “release him from the kill-joy.” She brings out a book titled “The New Knowledge of Candy,” which says people need sugar for fuel and energy throughout a tedious workday (3:00) Various workers take candy breaks, including a truck driver and a secretary (3:43) Children also need candy since they expend a lot of energy, however, don’t give it to them right before a meal (4:47) The body also needs sustenance such as minerals, proteins, and vitamins for bones and tissues in addition to energy foods. Candy, however, has milk, fruit, nuts, sugar, and other ingredients that can supply these essentials (6:05) Candy has no magic fat-producing qualities, as fat in your body depends on all the other foods you eat as well (7:34) Candy can be helpful if you’re reducing your food intake, especially when you’re exhausted or have low blood sugar levels (8:19) Sugar calories burn first in comparison ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d0115891-718d-4d50-aa16-077cc09bcb43/2a35d702-7525-4fe3-b199-660ee9e17da1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rGcyULsC8JFoF4f6RCwoke</video:player_loc><video:duration>1311</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T11:03:14.969Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/usNWVGgaGvW9VJ3FJo9kyR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/af349f61-ca10-4f3f-a743-87c7b33894a6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"CEILING UNLIMITED" 1940s INNOVATIONS IN TRANSPORTATION &amp; AVIATION   SOCONY-VACUUM OIL CO. 61064</video:title><video:description>“Ceiling Unlimited” (1940s) is a black-and-white newsreel film presented by Socony-Vacuum (Mobil).

"Date Etiquette" is a Coronet Instructional film aimed at teenagers, about proper behavior on a date with the opposite sex. The plot follows four well-behaved and well-groomed high school students. The boys ask the girls on dates to various activities and they demonstrate good manners and what is expected from both a boy and a girl's perspective. This movie is a good example of what were referred to as "social guidance" films in the mid-century. These 16mm films were shown in schools in an attempt to encourage family values and to define gender roles. Evelyn M. Duvall collaborated, she was the head of the National Council on Family Relations.

A teenage boy stands awkwardly in front of lockers. He asks a girl named Alice if she would like to go to the school play with him (00:41). She agrees to the date. They arrange the details. Alice descends her staircase (1:33). Her parents read in the living room, she shows her mother how well-groomed and sharp she looks.

Made by Calvin Productions, "How About Me?" is a sales instructional film, made to educate service station attendants and owners about selling antifreeze, as well as providing proper customer service and attention to detail. The overriding lesson is about reminding customers to get their antifreeze replaced every year. The film begins with a man -- Mr. Smith -- in the complaint department / returns department of a major department store. The man discusses his own complaints as a consumer at a service station. At 2:47, Mr. Smith visits a full service station where the lazy attendant doesn't check his battery or oil. As a result, Mr. Smith's car overheats at (3:41) due to lack of antifreeze.  At (4:10), an attendant who is more professional, asks Mr. Smith if he needs antifreeze in advance of the onset of winter, and performs a full check of his car's systems including hoses, oil, belts, lubricants, etc. At (6:00) Mr. Smith talks about how the man at his local station can make a lot of money, while saving the customer from all sorts of hassle. At (6:37) there is a discussion of the term "permanent antifreeze" and it being something that is used just for one winter season -- not permanently.   At (7:54) the battery is checked as well as tire pressure as part of a normal service. At (8:40) Mr. Smith returns to the complaint department.

This raw footage, which was likely shot by a newsreel cameraman, dates to circa 1940 and shows Egypt's King Farouk visiting an army school, probably the Egyptian Military Academy in Cairo. Founded in 1908, this facility was in the El-Koba Bridge area of the city and was renamed the Royal Military Academy in 1938. It's quite possible that this film dates to the time of its rededication. 

King Farouk was the second-to-last King of Egypt. He reigned from 1936 until he was deposed in 1952 by a group led by Gamel Abdel Nasser.  (Farouk's infant son Fuad became king for a brief time before he was also exiled.)  During his brief time as King, the nation weathered the storm of WWII and emerged in a strong position. However, after the Egyptian Army was defeated during the Israeli War of Independence in 1948, Farouk was blamed and lost credibility. Made prior to the devastating defeat, this film footage portrays Farouk's support for the military, and the prowess and preparedness of the Egyptian Army.  (Many films of Farouk were destroyed following his exile. Notably, this film was saved from destruction by a member of the Egyptian Air Force, Dr. Eassa H.

“Should You Drink?” is a black-and-white scripted educational film from 1958. It is based on the basic health text "Health for Effective Living" as part of the McGraw-Hill Text Films series. The film seeks to answer questions relating to the foundations of our relationships to alcohol and seeks to provide the psychological roots for what drives a person to choose to drink and how much. Produced by Crawley Films Canada, this film answers these pressing questions through a scripted story that revolves around Jerry, a sociable real estate agent who has trouble turning down a drink. Jerry’s drinking habits put strain on his relationships with friends and his fiancé, Julie. While making the film, production consulted with educational advisers: Edward B.

This longform advertisement promotes RCA's "Asset" system for television. Not a lot of information is available about this system, but it appears to be a mechanical cart -- somewhat similar to those used in the radio broadcasting industry -- which would run 16mm film based TV commercials for air. Each cartridge would have contained a 16mm commercial, likely in loop format. These would be triggered either manually, or by cue marks placed on the station's programmed films or videotapes. It's not clear how successful this type of system was; most likely it was quickly made obsolete by videotape based systems. 

We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!  See something interesting?  Tell people what it is and what they can see by writing something for example: "01:00:12:00 -- President Roosevelt is seen meeting with Winston Churchill at the Quebec Conference."

Deeply concerned with the rise of Communism after the start of the Cold War, Harding University (then known as Harding College) worked with film studio John Sutherland Productions to produce a series of short animated films "to create a deeper understanding of what has made America the finest place in the world to live!" This film “Meet King Joe” is a pro-capitalism and American industry cartoon in Technicolor released in 1949. The film explains the role of investment capital in building America’s prosperity through the caricature of Brooklyn-accented Joe - an American factory worker who is “king of the workers” as he enjoys a higher wage and fewer working hours than his counterparts abroad as a result of America’s capitalist system. John Sutherland produced 45 films during a long and storied career. Many of his films were produced with Harding College, emphasizing the benefits of both corporate and individual liberty, and the drawbacks of government intervention.

“Another Shade of Green,” a 1960s short film and documentary on the importance of Monsanto’s creation of artificial grass --- brand name Astroturf -- for the college sports landscape of America. Produced, directed, and written by Ron Jacobs for Monsanto. Narrated by the legendary John Facenda,  best known for his affiliation with NFL Films. The original AstroTurf product was a short-pile synthetic turf invented in 1965 by James M. Faria and Robert T. Wright of Monsanto. The first installation of "ChemGrass" was at the Moses Brown School in Providence, Rhode Island.  After its first use at the Houston Astrodome in 1966, the product was rebranded as AstroTurf. While it would eventually be installed worldwide and have a great reputation, early versions of Astroturf were criticized for allegedly causing injuries, and having traction and directionality issues. (0:07) An athlete opens a football locker and puts on his protective gear and uniform as a narrator describes him (1:37) Shot of his back as he walks through the stadium tunnel and into the field.

“The Northern Road to Tokyo - Seabee Report” is a 1945 U.S. Navy WWII informational training film about the United States Naval Construction Battalions, better known as the Navy Seabees, which form the U.S. Naval Construction Force (NCF). It was produced by Pathescope of America, Inc. Responsible for both construction and battle, the CBs responsibilities include setting up infrastructure for operations and landing with assault troops upon initial arrival. The “Northern Road to Tokyo” consists of the Aleutian Islands, a chain of islands from the Alaskan mainland that head toward Japan and act as a base for the U.S.

Made in consultation with the Pasadena Police Department and Automobile Club of Southern California, “The Social Drinker and the Anti-Social Driver” is a short, color instructional film from 1972 that details the dangers of driving while under the influence of alcohol. A Charles Cahill and Associates film, it particularly targets people who drink socially with friends at bars or during celebrations who would not consider themselves “drunk drivers.” Through interviews with various researchers at both USC and UCLA as well as a few scripted and staged scenarios, the film illuminates how even those who have had a casual drink or two could pose a risk to themselves and others.

This jet era Pan Am Airlines film shows the 49th State, Alaska.At mark 1:30, this is Alaska. This film is about people of Alaska, the land and their way of life. It is a land not easy to know for it is a land of contrast and paradox. The great silent glaciers move slowly to 3000ft deep. The climate is temperate yet everywhere there is the snow and the ice as seen at mark 2:55. Alaska is a land where spring moves side by side with winter and each year in the water life begins anew. At mark 3:40 is the Eskimo who were the pioneer, the Indian at mark 3:50 and so many more who are part of Alaska future. At mark 4:32, an Eskimo is telling his story about the land Alaska. He is an officer of the church and as a boy; he followed the polar bear and the fox. He talks about the civilization that has been undergone by their generation. It will soon be 4th of July where other Eskimos come from different parts to join their countrymen in celebrating their nation’s birth. As seen at mark 6:10, they are celebrating their freedom. At mark6:40, a man is sighted. He tells his own story also. He is seen looking for gold. The soil of the Alaska land is good and this has improved agriculture in their lands. As seen at mark 8:10, a farmer is seen working on his farm with his tractor coupled with a plough. He tells his own story also about the land. Ha talks on sunlight and weather. For some it is search for food while for others, it is search for black gold, Uranium as seen at mark 9:00. A man is seen talking about the Uranium at mark 9:12. He and his friend got themselves maps, and other equipment with a plane and are seen at mark 9:30 prospecting for the mineral.

This film presents some Soundies -- 1940s music videos (sometimes intended to be played in a special video jukebox that used 16mm film). The first film (main titles missing) is "Count Me In" performed by Claude Thornhill &amp; His Orchestra with the singing duet Martha Wayne &amp; Buddy Stewart. This short was directed by Arthur Dreifuss. Claude Thornhill is seen at the (1:00) mark. Next, Herbie Kay and his Orchestra are shown in the Mincoco Productions release of "Willie, Willie, Will Ya?" featuring Ellen Connor (2:40). At (5:21) Cab Calloway performs "Virginia, Georgia and Caroline" from 1942. This is also a Minoco release. At (7:55) the Charioteers perform "The Darktown Strutters' Ball", a jazz standard. This film dates to 1941 and was also a Minoco release. The Charioteers were an American gospel and pop vocal group from 1930 to 1957. The film comes to a conclusion with "Shine" (1942) performed by Louis Armstrong and his orchestra (9:52). This film was released by R.C.M. Productions and is notable for its ridiculous set with a huge shoe getting a shine on center stage behind Armstrong. 

one "Linda Brown" features the African American band The Musical Madcaps and was produced and directed by William Forest Crouch.  It dates to 1943 and one reviewer called it a "hot number" and noted true to form that the MadCaps practically "tear apart the scenery before the number is finished."

This promotional film for the Kodak Supermatic 8 Film Processor emphasizes the unit's reliability and ease-of-use -- in fact, the publicity for the unit called it the "processor for people who have never processed film before."  It likely dates to the late 1960s/early 1970s. According to the film (and an accompanying brochure): "The Supermatic 8 Processor can be loaded in daylight with any Super-8 cartridge (50 foot, 200 foot, and special 400 foot cartridges). The processed film, ready to project, emerges 13 1/2 minutes later (50 feet). The machine needs only sources of water and electricity, and a drain. Chemicals are added from prepared packages, and the processor automatically maintains chemistry quality. When chemicals are exhausted, the machine disposes of them, cleans itself, and calls for new chemicals before it will restart. The Supermatic 8 processor can at present process only a single emulsion, the new Kodak [Ektachrome] SM 7244, which is available in 50 foot and 200 foot silent and sound cartridges. The price of the Supermatic 8 processor is $12,500. About 10-20 Super 8 cartridges per day will amortize such a capital outlay, over a few years' period, by comparison with typical commercial processing costs."

This promotional film for the "Columbia 23" or T-23 sailboat dates to the 1970s, and emphasises the fact that the design is easily trailered -- in fact, the film calls this type of sailing "trailer sailing". "Anywhere your car can make it, the Columbia 23 is sure to follow, " states the narrator. "We call this feature-filled, quality built yacht the long-distance trailer sailboat." With its streamlined, double-hull construction, the Columbia 23 was considered a breakthrough in trailer boat design. It was designed by Australia's Alan Payne and produced by Columbia Yachts in the USA from 1973-77. Over 400 were built in that time period, and the molds were re-used to build many other boats. The T-23 also inspired a number of copies. The T-23 was built out of fiberglass with an aluminum mast and teak wood trim, over 800 pounds of lead ballast, and featured an outboard for marina operations. It has a full keel, masthead sloop rig, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed shoal draft fin keel.

This short film is an excerpt of the feature "Jivin' in Be-Bop", a 1947 musical revue film that stars Dizzy Gillespie and his orchestra. Here, Gillespie and his band perform "A Night in Tunisia", one of his signature tunes. This short, sans titles, was apparently sold for the home market as a "soundie" -- a 1940s music video.

The film itself was produced by William D. Alexander and shown primarily in African American community theaters. "Jivin'" doesn't really have a plot, but served as an excuse to put nineteen musical and dance numbers on the silver screen. In addition to Gillespie, the film featured singers Helen Humes and Kenny "Pancho" Hagood and Freddie Carter as the M.C.

Released by the Asahi Shinbun newspaper company, this silent, tinted film's title translates roughly as "Peril in the Alps", "Peril in the Mountains" or "Danger in the Mountains". (Note: this film in two reels, Reel One actually begins at 6:49.) The film includes a title card with a quote by Kuzou Fujiki, who brought modern alpinism to Japan, and who worked for the aforementioned newspaper. One of the climbers shown in the film is probably Aritsune Maki aka Maki Yūkō (1894 - 1989), a distinguished alpinist and skier. Maki was  from Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture and is generally credited with helping introduce modern alpinism to Japan. He also served as the founder and chairman of the Japan Alpine Club. Maki led the Japanese expedition to the summit of Manaslu , the 8,000m peak in the Himalayas.  In 1926, Kuzou Fujiki and Maki Yūkō skied in winter and climbed the Matterhorn and the Alps in summer with Imperial Prince Chichibunomiya Yonhito. All of the climbs were a success. (Yonhito was the second son of Emperor Taishō [Yoshihito] and Empress Teimei [Sadako], a younger brother of Emperor Shōwa [Hirohito] and a general in the Imperial Japanese Army.) Aritsune Maki's climbing career was interrupted by World War II, preventing him from leading a Japanese expedition to the Himalayas, but members of his team managed to make a summit of Manaslu in 1956.

Created in 1941 by Castle Films, this silent newsreel was created in honor of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's record third inauguration.  The newsreel begins with a recap of his political career from Asst. Secretary of the Navy to failed Vice Presidential candidate and finally Governor and President.  At the 2 minute mark the story of the Great Depression is told visually, with protestors marching on Washington and huge unemployment lines.  President Hoover rides with FDR to the first inauguration at the 2:40 mark, and Chief Justice Hughes administers the oath.  The New Deal programs are seen next, starting with the banks being closed by the President, the launch of the National Recovery Administration and Civilian Conservation Corps and AAA, WPA, etc.  Roosevelt's second term is seen starting at about the 4:45 mark with his defeat of Landon.  The 1940 election is seen at the 7 minute mark, with Wendell Willkie attempting unsuccessfully to unseat the President.  Roosevelt is also seen visiting a munitions plant, traveling to South America and Canada, and working to guide the nation through the war clouds that seem to stretch horizon to horizon.  The third inauguration, which constitutes the last 1/3rd of the film, is followed with a massive military parade theoretically attesting to the nation's strength -- but unfortunately for America it's Army especially was ill prepared for the conflict that would unfold a mere ten months after this film was released. The third inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt as the 32nd President of the United States was held on Monday, January 20, 1941 on the East Portico of the Capitol.

“The Kingdom of Plastics” is a short informational film shot in Technicolor. It dates to the mid-to-late 1940s and discusses how plastics are made and their importance to many industries, specifically its important contributions to World War II as a manufacturing material. The film was likely made as part of a public relations effort to change the public's mind about plastic products, which were often perceived as "cheap" or "imitation". This perception owed itself to war rationing, as copper, aluminum, steel, and zinc all became precious metals that were only allocated for military use. Desperate fabricators and manufacturers begane to use plastics, including cellulosics, acrylic, nylon, and especially phenolic and polyethylene, as a substitute. A whole campaign began after WWII to convince the American public of the value of plastic, and a National Plastics Exposition (NPE) was held at the Grand Central Plaza in New York City in April 1946. This film was produced by the Jam Handy Organization, and is part of General Electric’s “An Excursion in Science” series that began in 1936 as a syndicated radio series. “The Kingdom of Plastics” features clips of various plastic products, interiors of chemical labs, and some historical footage from World War II.

“B-29’s Over Dixie” is a first hand account of the huge Boeing B-29 facility built from scratch in Marietta, Georgia as part of the WWII war mobilization efforts during the early 1940s. Despite the fact that the B-29 was designed by Boeing, this film was presented by Bell Aircraft Corporation's  Georgia Division. This is due to the fact that Bell built B-29 and Consolidated B-24 Liberators under license from other aircraft companies at a factory near Marietta, Georgia, just northwest of Atlanta. Online by mid-1943, the plant produced hundreds of aircraft. This black-and-white film includes detailed views of new and innovative production techniques, assembly line work, and the training and care of the vast workforce which was made up of men and women from all walks of life.

This amateur made home movie dates to the 1960s, and may have been shot by a member of the U.S. Army who was assigned to Germany, or simply by an American tourist. The man (who is never seen in the footage) and a woman who was likely his wife, were on a tour in their red VW Beetle. The soundtrack married to the film was added by the unknown filmmaker.

The film starts with a shot of the sign for the U.S. Army's Camp Dachau, which was the site of the former SS camp, adjacent to the infamous Dachau concentration camp. The presence of a jeep in front of the base makes it appear that it was still occupied by the U.S. Army at this time -- at some later date the camp was turned over to the German Federal Police. 

The film shows a brief tour of the concentration camp museum and associated memorials. It includes a visit to part of the vast grounds of the former camp including shots of graves and execution areas, the famous Fritz Koelle statue installed in 1950 depicting an unknown prisoner (1:27), with the text below the statue reading: “Den Toten zur Ehr, Den Lebenden zur Mahnung” translated “To honour the dead, to remind the living”. The film also shows flowers placed by the International Dachau Committee (2:45), additional memorials to the dead (3:50) and at (4:24) one of the crematorium smokestacks.  At (4:38) the film shows views of the town of Dachau, Upper Bavaria including the Hörhammer pub (4:56) and other placid street scenes. At (7:22) are shots along a highway or autobahn, on the route to Traunstein and Salzburg.  At (9:42) the driver pulls off the highway to go to a Shell petrol station, where his wife uses the restroom. At (10:50) are what appear to be the Alps, along with shot...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e217c65e-6320-4263-a407-5ba4f64c205b/fdb86ba6-c254-403d-a237-73352f689d04-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tVidESAykRtJs5ektvZz9g</video:player_loc><video:duration>875</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T12:07:47.111Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wCjQB1SDpZvRoGRnijehF6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/123aac17-f368-4a96-8322-a24ccc3225f7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" SCHLEY RIDE TO PUERTO RICO "  1960s TRAVELOGUE MOVIE  SAN JUAN  BARRANQUITAS ARECIBO  XD52154</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This silent travelogue is reel 1 of “Schley Ride to Puerto Rico (The 51st State?)”, a film in the series dubbed “Picturelogues” produced and directed by Norman E. Schley. This film covers a journey across the island of Puerto Rico starting in the capital of San Juan and proceeding to smaller towns and jungle areas portraying cities, beaches, agriculture, and historical attractions. This version of the film is silent, but most likely a sound version was produced at some point. Many of Schley's films aired on television,  and some were also shown in front of a live audience, with Schley reading from a narration script as the film was projected.

Eastman Kodak produced this black-and-white silent educational film as part of the company's "Eastman Classroom Films" series. This particular film discusses the Panama Canal. It uses animated maps, title cards, and documentary footage to the Panama Canal’s construction and early use. The film is undated, but the Canal opened on August 15, 1914, Eastman produced many of their Classroom Films in the 1920s and into the 1930s, and the film is silent. It would have been accompanied by a study guide, and narration read aloud in the classroom by an instructor.Film opens with a large steamer in the Canal, smoke billowing from smokestack; the Canal is narrow, docks line both sides and background mountains are visible (00:08).

This compilation reel consists of a series of longform commercials made by the Jam Handy Organization to promote RCA Victor's 1960 line of black &amp; white TV sets. This included innovations such as a remote control and timed on and off. RCA Victor was formed when, in 1929, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) bought the “Victor Talking Machine Company”, creating the “RCA Victor” brand. The four commercials included in this film cover the promotion of groundbreaking television technology including “The Programmer with the Magic Memory” and “The Hillsborough with New Hideaway Styling” (a new console television that folds into a piece of furniture so as to conceal the all-seeing picture tube), followed by “A Cinch to Service” covering the service and reliability of RCA Victor products, and lastly “The Inside Story” describing the entire technical framework and contents of the black and white television receiver chassis.

Uranium Prospecting is a documentary promoting the everyday fortunes that may be made hunting for the rare element uranium-235.  The film shows the methods of amateurs, hobbyists, and vacationing families who manage to supplement their income and explore the great outdoors at the same time.The opening titles of the film have a distinct Mid-Century look with glowing animated letters that zoom in over a globe.  Following dramatic music the viewer is introduced to uranium as unrefined particulate.  Shots follow which show tools for detecting radioactivity including a scintillator (0:44), and skirt the outside of a nuclear power plant (0:58). A scale holding two ounces of uranium-235 is compared to a speeding train carrying 800 carloads of coal.  With the narrator’s pronouncement that “luck favors the amateur,” a scene opens of a family hunting for uranium together (1:45).  An outdoorsman loads the trunk of his car with prospecting equipment, giving friendly looks to his female partner.  Pamphlets from the Atomic Energy Commission and the U.S. Geological Survey are shown (2:23), along with a tagged sample to be sent in for assay.  Compensation for ore and claims and transport are discussed, trucks hauling ore are shown (3:05).  A woman hugs her dog in joy while her husband shakes hands over a deal (3:29).  An older man in a hunting jacket kneels down to hoist a rock in consideration and then stands by his mailbox, happy at the delivery of a scintillator. Shots of the man unwrapping the raygun-like device and putting it to use are set to suspenseful music (4:17).  “A grandmother in Arizona remembered some petrified trees,” intones the narrator, shots of petrified wood and rising gauges f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/210413ca-78a6-4c6e-a6e2-9ea10be96a7f/5664638b-2cdd-40db-972c-0844fb2fdf3c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/55sRn9YfRKgvGjJzB2eUiv</video:player_loc><video:duration>767</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T12:24:27.030Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tjUEk1XQv56oWvaduuDAjY</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c9697700-0fdb-471c-88d2-d13d9a0b9c0b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WALTER HUSTON INTERVIEWS DIRECTOR D.W.

Produced in 1930 for the re-release of "Birth of a Nation", this short features an interview with controversial director D. W. Griffith by actor Walter Huston (the star of Griffith's 1930 feature "Abraham Lincoln"). In this prelude, which may or may not have ever been presented with the film (experts disagree), Griffith explains his motivations for making the silent epic in 1915.  The setting is supposedly the den of a comfortable home, with children (child actors of course) shown eavesdropping on the conversation. Before the interview begins, Huston dramatically presents Griffith with a Civil War saber that belonged to a Confederate officer -- with Griffith stating that it is similar to one his "father wore". Griffith then talks about his Southern roots, and answers Huston's  questions as to whether "Birth of a Nation" was actually a reflection of his father's experience. "Well, now that you mention it perhaps I did...," says Griffith. "I suppose it began when I was a child, I used to get under the table and listen to my father and his friends talk about the battles they'd been through and their struggles. Those things impress you deeply."  At (3:59) Griffith states that his mother told him about "staying up night after night, sewing robes for the Klan. The Klan," he adds,"... at that time was needed, and served a purpose."  After Huston praises the film as Griffith's greatest work, the director talks about why it stands the test of time: "It's about something, " he intones. "You can tell easily a story about something. About a tremendous struggle. About a ... a story about people who were fighting desperately against great odds, great sacrifice and suffering, death. A great struggle...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dd4a95c6-ea09-45d3-bfdc-30c46801389c/1f464ab5-644e-4aa4-976f-436b58d221e0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tjUEk1XQv56oWvaduuDAjY</video:player_loc><video:duration>369</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T12:25:13.291Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gr8mFcnRcNSk492fXDyRDq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3deb9e45-aa7f-438b-abc7-a0561c611dac.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1954 HALO SHAMPOO TV COMMERCIAL w/ PEGGY LEE  XD72284</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to 1954, this TV commercial for Halo Shampoo features Peggy Lee, singing the praises of the "zero soap shampoo". Halo debuted in 1938, and was one of the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Company's star products. The Halo slogan was "Soaping dulls hair, while Halo glorifies it."  Advertisements and commercials like this one claimed that the lack of oils and harsh chemicals in Halo, made the product clean-rinsing and safe for children.

Over the years the Colgate-Palmolive Company used celebrities and program sponsorships to endorse their product. In the 1940s, the product jingle, "Halo, Everybody, Halo," was introduced on the radio and early TV. Through the following decades, many celebrities and recording artists, including Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, and Eddie Cantor, sang the Halo jingle. In 1956, their ads claimed they were "America’s #1 Selling Shampoo."  Halo was still being sold in the late 1970s.

"Success Story" was a 1950’s era, black and white TV show that focused on companies in California. It was sponsored by Richfield, makers of Richfield 1030 motor oil and gasoline, with reporter Ken Peters as host, narrated by John Kennedy, and directed by Bob Hiestand. This episode aired in July, 1955 and profiles the Coast Envelope Company, a huge industrial printing company which was apparently located at 2930 Vail Ave. in Commerce, California -- but also had operations in San Francisco and elsewhere in the Golden State. The program was highly innovative for its time, featuring a mobile camera (probably an Auricon) that followed the host through the company's factory.  John Davidson, the vice president of Coast, appears in the episode as well as Alex Kenzie, the "dean of the envelope business" (Kenzie may in fact have been Coast's president but it's not clear as the episode is missing the start). Coast's operations are interesting in that the company recycled a lot of its scrap (4:20 -7:00) to use as shipping batten. A new, German printing press that features aniline inks, as well as an envelope sorting machine (16:00) are shown in the episode. Also of interest, Coast Envelope seems to employ a large number of women -- as many businesses did in the post WWII period.

“Glacier National Park” is a color, travelogue-style film from the 1950s that acted as promotional material for Great Northern Railway’s service from Chicago to Glacier National Park and beyond to Seattle and Portland. At the time, Great Northern Railway’s service was the only train service that reached a national park on its mainline. Montana’s Glacier National Park was officially named a national park by Congress in 1910 and quickly became renowned for its natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and multitude of outdoor activities for nature lovers - all of which are featured in the stunning footage of this film. This film was produced on behalf of Great Northern Railway by Empire Photosound and in cooperation with the United States Department of the Interior National Park Service.

Dating to 1972, this longform ad promotes Mattel's Hi Dottie doll. It appears to feature Carol Channing, reprising her role in "Hello Dolly!" from the 1964 musical, or someone who looks and sounds a lot like her!  Based on its length, the ad was likely not intended for TV, but used to promote the launch of the doll to toy buyers. The Hi Dottie doll owed its creation to the success of Chatty Cathy. "Hi Dottie" appeared in 1969 with her very own telephone. The doll features both a pull string and a small lever in her back. When the string is pulled and the lever pushed, she waves her arms and turns her head from side to side.

Inland are the unchanging mountains, the ancient Castles and the land of romance” (1:14). “The journey to North Wales takes the visitor through Chester, one of our oldest and most beautiful cities” (1:36). “Two thousand years of history built in wood and stone, its city walls once manned the 20th Roman Legion, Valeria Victrix,” (1:40). “The Roman occupation extended from A.D. 47 over three centuries – and Chester still retains the four principal streets” (2:33): Eastgate St (2:37), Northgate St (2:28) Bridge St. (2:56), and Watergate St. (3:01). “They meet together at the Cross, where the fine examples of 14th Century buildings and the Rows provide one of the city’s attractions” (3:10).

This includes a stop at the Devils Postpile National Monument, located near Mammoth Mountain in Eastern California (2:36).  The monument is an unusual rock formation of columnar basalt. At (3:30) a visit to Pilot Knob, one of a handful of volcanic plugs in the state of California. It is south of the Cargo Muchacho Mountains by approximately 7 miles and was used as a landmark for Colorado River riverboat captains during the 19th and 20th centuries. At (3:45) fishing in the river. At (4:12) Bishop's Pass, at 11,972 ft, in the southern Sierra Nevada. At (4:50) the members of the group are seen cooking a camp dinner.

Produced by Unilever, a British multinational consumer goods company that produces food, condiments, ice cream, cleaning agents, beauty products, and personal care including soap, this film examines soyabean cultivation and the uses of the soybean. The film dates to the 1960s. The film shows large farms in Illinois (2:00) and other American states, which are the largest producers of soyabeans per acre in the world.

This silent newsreel film from the mid-1940s presents the building and launch of the passenger liner RMS Queen Mary, known as "No. 534" during construction. The film contains some wonderful images of the John Brown &amp; Company shipyard at Clydebank in Scotland. (Viewers will note newspaper headlines about the "restart" of work on the ship at 1:01 in the film. The headline refers to the fact that initial work on the ship was stopped, in December 1931, due to the Great Depression. Cunard applied to the British Government for a loan to complete 534. The loan was granted, with enough money to complete the unfinished ship, and also to build a running mate, with the intention to provide a two ship weekly service to New York. As a result of the loan, Cunard merged with White Star forming the Cunard-White Star Line.) At 3:25 the ship's 35-ton propellers are seen. At 4:02, an aerial shot shows the ships nearly finished hull sans smokestacks. At 4:33 the launching of the ship is shown and at 5:29 she slides down the ways. At 7:10 the Queen and King congratulate the builders. At 7:59 the ship, with extensive work now finished on the upper decks, At 8:26, first fueling of the massive vessel. At 8:49, final work completed on the ship. At 9:22, decoration of the interior of the ship by artisans, who are shown working on stained glass. At 9:50 King Edward VIII arrives to review the ship at Clydeside. At 11:01 the ship is shown at the start of her test run. At 12:10 the liner returns after an initial voyage south, with great fanfare. At 12:49, maiden voyage begins. At 14:53, the film describes the use of the Queen Mary as a troop ship during WWII.

An extremely early driver's education movie that was likely shown in movie theaters in the 1930s, "Horse Sense in Horse Power" tells the story of a new phenomenon that occurred with the arrival of the Tin Lizzie -- traffic accidents. The film shows various images of America's highways and byways, with narration that discusses driving conditions and safety. At 1:30, a motorcycle policeman is seen on the job, writing tickets and helping motorists after accidents. At 2:10, an accident is seen and an analysis made of what happened. At 3:20, stopping distance is discussed.  At 4:30, a policeman is sen issuing a ticket to someone whose brakes are not functioning correctly. At 5:00, an accident occurs when a car has to brake suddenly to avoid a train, and the car skids off the track. At 5:10, the Indianapolis 500 auto race is seen (note the famed "Pagoda" in the shots) and then highway driving at 50 mph is seen -- for a total of 100 mph with traffic coming in the other direction.In an era when passing lanes were fairly rare, head-on accidents were not uncommon.At 7:24, a slow car driven by a "hog" is seen (wonderful special costume here!)  At 8:30, car manufacturing is seen with a focus on safety. At 8:41, stunts are seen, probably by "hell driver" Joie Chitwood, who drove Plymouth cars as part of his famed stunt show. The film ends with this wonderful quote: "The most important part of any car is the nut that holds the steering wheel".

This silent, color travelogue film from the late 1950s was made by by Norman Schley - a filmmaker from Waukesha, Wisconsin who made a series of travel films under the moniker "Schley Ride" and/or "Picturelogue inc." This particular film was shot in Cinemascope, or widescreen, using a special anamorphic lens attachment. The lens makes the film appear to have been shot on 35mm film!  This movie would have originally been presented by Schley in front of a live audience with the filmmaker narrating the picture. It depicts a warm weather getaway to cities in west Florida like St. Petersburg, Naples, and Sarasota. This film features lots of automobiles and fashion typical of late 1950s America as well as many scenes of Florida’s white-sand beaches, golf courses, and lush flora and fauna.

This color travelogue film was shot by Wisconsin filmmaker Norman Schley in March sometime during the 1950s and offers a first-hand account of Schley’s road trip around Florida’s coastal cities, including Major League Baseball Spring Training in Palm Beach, and then some cities in Alabama. A skilled filmmaker from Wisconsin, Schley made a series of amateur films under the moniker "Schley Ride" and/or "Picturelogue." Some of his films aired on television, while others were shown in front of live audiences. This particular account takes viewers along to explore the sights and wonders of major cities in Florida like St. Augustine, Palm Beach, Miami, and Tallahassee amongst others. While many of Schley Ride films are silent, this film is fully narrated by Norman Schley (and his wife) who offers more details and historical background on the site he is visiting.

Produced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey and National Park Service, this film documents the eruption of Kīlauea Iki from November 14th-December 20th, 1959, as well as subsequent seismic activity affecting the island and in particular the town of Kapoho. The eruption formed a lava lake in the Kīlauea Iki pit crater (the pit crater is adjacent to the main summit caldera of Kīlauea. During the eruption, the Iki Crater shot lava 1,900 feet into the air -- higher than even the tallest skyscraper in the United States. Once the lava lake grew higher than the vent itself, fountains stopped erupting and molten lava drained back into the vent. Today the lake is a well visited hiking destination. 

Aside from the dramatic footage of the incident, and maps of the location, the film includes shots of a seismograph (3:30), as well as a portable field unit (17:57). At (18:20), there is coverage of the seismic activity affecting the community of Kapoho. On January 12, 1960, residents of Kapoho experienced over 1,000 small earthquakes shaking the area.

Life In The Sahara is a short 1953 film from Encyclopaedia Britannica Films that gives viewers a glimpse of life in the Sahara Desert in the 1950s, touching on the geography of the region as well as the people who live there. The film opens with shots of the Sahara Desert, including sand dunes, mountains, and salty flats (00:22; 01:05). Massive sand dunes tower above the desert floor (01:27; 13:52). Wind blows sand along desert, making travel no easy task. A train moves along one of the few railways (01:48) that penetrate the Sahara. Dirt roads are marked by rock piles (02:06) to prevent winds and sand from erasing them. At a Saharan airstrip, people board a plane (02:23); aerial footage from the window of the plane shows the desert with a few mountains jutting into the sky (02:35). At a small village in the Sahara (02:44), children run in the courtyard and women cross a stream. People make clay bricks, which are used to build homes (03:18). In the market square, men make slippers (03:40), farm goods are traded, and metal ware is purchased. A man uses camels to haul goods to remote places in the desert (04:20), passing what appears to be a tiny mosque. Camels eat during a break from the trek. Men ride camels and guide camel caravans. A rare grassy plain at the foot of a mountain (05:24) provides grass for goats tended to by nomads. Nomads set up camp (05:58), putting up a tent to protect them from desert winds, then hang water bags and prepare food. A nomad woman turns wool into yarn (06:55). An oasis (07:22) provides water, allowing the people here to grow fruit and grains. Palm tree groves (08:19) provide shade, fuel, and building materials. A man climbs a date palm to harvest dates...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f47d0128-0d7d-4518-85d7-886ee5e8f330/b8bd38e8-29c5-476d-ac18-3833a16c531a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wc3Gx469rEAXBj3e7yWEpS</video:player_loc><video:duration>885</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T13:07:19.074Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wVJ9fbpBTUezTHd4aN7DS7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/542f4733-5808-4ad8-83b1-f7e32e6ec4e1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" PILGRIMAGE TO BALTIMORE " 1960s MARYLAND TRAVELOGUE FILM SPONSORED BY SHELL OIL  XD11564</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Made for the resurgent West German Air Force, this film "Einweisung in die Ausbilding Zum Flugzeugführer" translates literally as "Pilot training and instruction." The movie dates to post 1956, when the first F-84F jet fighters were delivered to West Germany, and before 1960 when the F-104 Starfighter was first deployed. The movie was likely used for public relations and recruiting purposes, shows typical pilot induction and training for this era, and culminates with a scene of cadets receiving their wings. The German Luftwaffe in this era was built up by the United States as a hedge against rising Soviet power, as part of the Cold War struggle. It was part of the Bundeswehr, the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Germany. The aircraft shown in the film are primarily the Republic F-84F Thunderstreak, which were first delivered to Germany's Nörvenich Air Base (Fliegerhorst Nörvenich) in 1956. Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star training aircraft were used (see 6:00). All the equipment in the film appears to be surplused or loaned American equipment, and bears identifying stencils and signs in English. Most of the movie was apparently shot at Fürstenfeldbruck Air Base, which hosted the German Air Force Officer Training School beginning in 1957. 

Scenes include: busy airbase (probably Nörvenich but possibly Fürstenfeldbruck Air Base) with U.S. Navy DC-3 and many F-84Fs on the tarmac. Cadet packs for basic pilot training (1:19) and then visits with a flight surgeon to get cleared for duty. At (1:40), cadets are placed in a vacuum chamber to simulate high altitude flight, and to learn how air pressure can affect perception (3:00). At (3:49) a cockpit model is used to simulate an ejection. At (4:39), a water landing and rubber life raft deployment are practiced.  At (5:49) proper management of the oxygen system is demonstrated....</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7e6740a1-1222-49b7-89e0-f7e1feddcb30/cb87a99a-8589-4154-9cdc-4404148b511a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gBj5uscXwdFJF3c3cfpMqm</video:player_loc><video:duration>1793</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T13:11:37.860Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8jH2Au2Aaw5jqXrEpY94nB</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d67bf754-67c3-49a0-ad7e-7f346fa4126f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" COLOMBIA AND VENEZUELA ” 1944 SOUTH AMERICA EDUCATIONAL FILM   CARACAS &amp; BOGOTA  99634</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Encyclopædia Britannica Films Inc., EB Films for short, produced educational films from the 1940s through the 1990s. This black-and-white film was originally released on December 19th, 1944.

Here are two films about the management of forests. The first, “Forest Ranger” is a color, PSA-style film from 1953 that touches on the important role of the forest ranger for preserving and keeping the forest safe as well as the dangers and potential consequences of man-made forest fires.  Produced by Viking Pictures Corporation on behalf of Encyclopedia Britannica Films, this color film was made in collaboration with Gordon D. Marckworth of the University of Washington and opens with the story of park ranger Ned Miller. The film opens as Ned goes about surveying the national forest land before he is called to supervise the response to a forest fire caused by an ignorant citizen’s littering of their cigarette butt. The second half of this film features an animated and live-action mini film which drives home the consequences of greed and ignorance when it comes to the forest. The second film, title unknown, was produced by the Conservation Foundation.

These television commercials for Xerox date to 1965, when the company sponsored the broadcast of "Let My People Go: The Story of Israel" on a USA nationwide network of independent stations. The first ad promotes the Xerox 813. At :36 the film shows Ernie Ball, owner of the Ernie Ball Guitars shop in Los Angeles, California, putting an 813 through its paces. At 1:39, another ad shows the Xerox 2400 at work. At 2:00, the 2400 is compared to a "speedy" copier where a typewritten master must first be created, then etched, and various other complicated steps undertaken to make it operate. At 2:38, the 2400 is shown with its elegant simplicity of operation. At 3:11 is an upside down Xerox logo, our mistake. At 3:25, an ad for Xerox featuring the "copy consultant" who comes to visit businesses to determine which Xerox machine is appropriate for your business. 

Xerography, a process of producing images using electricity, was invented in 1938 by physicist-lawyer Chester Floyd "Chet" Carlson, who later sold his rights to Haloid, a chemical company. Haloid introduced the first commercial xerographic copier, the Xerox Model A, in 1949. Haloid was renamed Haloid Xerox in 1958, and in 1959 introduced the Xerox 914, which proved to be the first successful commercial plain paper copier.  The simple but useful Xerox 813 desktop copier shown in the commercial went into production in October 1963. To make a copy, a user entered the number of copies needed, and then fed the original into the machine. The original would then travel through the machine and emerge in a slot in front, with the copy coming out below.  The first duplicator made by Xerox was the 2400, which came on the market in October 1964. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d1ebc4c1-5473-4a97-acd4-951b9c6c389b/7e2a979e-ff17-4131-ad3a-22c06c5521f2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rVtoS2T42Skp9eNhkZisPV</video:player_loc><video:duration>308</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T13:18:16.149Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sBMaKy2eRNo1aaHX4kqmT5</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/60bd625c-e7fd-4be2-8e86-eb0a5c7a61dd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" WINE MAKING "  1948 BRITISH INSTRUCTIONAL FILM   HARVESTING GRAPES, FERMENTING WINE  XD65844</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to 1948, this British Instructional Films Ltd. production is entitled "Wine Making". The film shows the process of harvesting grapes and fermenting them into wine. The location of the winery shown is unclear. (Note: this film is silent because -- many educational films from this period were released that way. Amplification was expensive, and many school districts could not afford sound projectors. So, films were released silently and a script read out loud by a teacher or student, while the film rolled.)

The film begins with a panoramic shot of a valley, with rows of grapes under cultivation (:49). At (1:11), grapes are sampled to see if they are ripe enough for picking. At (1:25) a group of workers, mostly Blacks, arrive to harvest the grapes. At (2:10), buckets of grapes are dumped into a waiting truck. At (2:25), the grapes are assessed and then at (3:09) moved by hand from trucks into a crusher-destemmer machine. At (4:41) the grape juice mash is pumped into a gigantic vat for fermentation. At (6:17) the wine is shown being cooled during fermentation. At (6:47) a sign provides data about the lot. (Note: a "leaguer" is slightly more than 577 litres, or 127 gallons, so the vat holdign four leaguers is approximately 500 gallons.) At (8:40) the finished wine is served and enjoyed at an estate.

This strange, silent film "The Portage Trail" dates to 1915. The film tells the story of a romance between a minister's son and a banker's daughter, but the narrative also pays attention to the city of Akron, Ohio. It's highly possible that the film was made in an attempt to clean up that city's reputation, since in the 1910s there was a deadly outbreak of typhoid fever caused by a bad water supply. To whit, the film has a segment, inserted into the middle of the romance, explaining how the city now has a new "five million dollar water treatment plant".  (Incidentally, this treatment plant was highly successful and ended the outbreak in the city.)  Interestingly, the way the narrative unfolds in "The Portage Trail", a modern viewer gets the sense that the romantic story may have been a familiar one -- perhaps one told in a play or book that predates this film. So far, we haven't identified any fictional counterpart, although a book with the same title was published in 1924 (but doesn't seem to be similar to the movie in terms of content). The film stars Miriam Good, Neal Handy, George Bates, Newton S. Noble, Jr., Hulda Jacob, and others (credits at :13).

The Portage Trail aka Portage Path is an old Indian trail, which runs between Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and the Tuscarawas River. The Trail is a route the Indians blazed from Lake Erie to Chautauqua Lake, and represented the western boundary of the United States in 1785.  

The film begins with images of a church social at Cuyahoga Falls circa 1915, with the local minister explaining that his son William is soon to depart for Akron, where he will be working in the rubber factory. At 1:07, a steam locomotive pulls a passenger train; the mi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5af2d391-5aa8-4b29-8eac-670f56bf52fd/a06e50be-3079-43d4-93ac-86406e134e40-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ceo7YX2UU1dcihGvJTXKJD</video:player_loc><video:duration>977</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T13:19:45.624Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8qNvk3TUCQSLExoo37Pfeb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dfdaa7e0-9826-4187-a0d9-0923825ed79a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GERMAN COAST GUARD / MARITIME SEARCH AND RESCUE SERVICE  PRE-WWII EDUCATIONAL FILM (SILENT) XD65974</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

One of a series of silent educational films made for German schools in the pre-WWII era, this film "Rescuing People in Distress" shows the work of the coast guard and / or sea rescue services (the most famous of which was the WWII era Seenotdienst or "sea rescue service", but also the Deutsche Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger or DGzRS). Silent films such as this one were commonplace in German classrooms in this era due to the high cost of supplying projectors with amplifiers; the film would have been shown in classrooms with a student or educator reading an accompanying script. At (:54), a rescue boat is launched to rescue the crew of a foundering vessel. The boat is hauled to the ocean by a team of horses (1:31). At (2:14), crew dressed in heavy weather clothing rows out to a stormy sea (3:14). At 3:18 the vessel in distress is spotted, a small ketch. A (3:34) a rocket with a line is prepared by another sea rescue crew. At (4:09) a line is tied to the rocket and it is prepared for launch (4:27). At (4:41) the rocket ascends and the line pays out from the winch. At (5:07) the line is secured to the foundering ship and its crew is evacuated in a personnel transfer basket, aka marine offshore man basket. At (6:27) another rescue is shown, this one involving the use of a motorboat named the "Bremen". At (7:16) crew are shown donning life vests stuffed with cork. At (7:59) the vessel moves at high speed across the sea, through heavy waves, towards the vessel in distress (9:39). A line is thrown and an inflatable lifeboat from the vessel is taken in tow. At (10:34) a crewman is rescued from the lifeboat and taken below decks past the engines (10:54) to warm up.

Dating to 1944, this film "Underwater Spearfishing" was produced with assistance by Captain Hal Messinger, a diver of some renown. It shows free divers training, and the successful hunt for a manta ray. The film was released by the Sea-Net Company of Los Angeles, an early manufacturer of free diving and spearfishing equipment, including spear guns, rubber masks, and fins.. This equipment was in demand as the growing community of post WWII divers went in search of food from the sea, such as abalone, lobster and fish. The film was shot in Yucatan, Mexico using something called "the Photodive device for underwater photography", and narrated by Don McNamara. The cinematographer and director was Charles T. Trego. The film features Apolonio Castillo (1:38),  a famed Mexican swimmer and diver who competed in the 1948 Summer Olympics and 1952 Summer Olympics in butterfly stroke. Castillo was a close friend of famed filmmaker Ramón Bravo, and taught the photographer and underwater filmmaker to dive. (Castillo tragically died while attempting to located retrieve the bodies of two murdered Americans from the Bay of Acapulco. Castillo suffered rapid decompression during the dive and never recovered.)

This travelogue from the 1960s is a “Picturelogue”, one of a series of films created and presented by Norman E. Schley, a filmmaker based in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The film is the second of two reels about Spain, portraying tourist attractions, different small and major cities, and visits to surrounding Spanish islands. The camera team also takes a short trip to the city of Tanger in Morocco. This version of the film is (mostly) silent, but a sound version was produced and shown by Schley, possibly in front of a live audience or on television.  The credits indicate that the script for this film was written by John Bakke.

Tobacco had been grown in this part of the United States for hundreds of years by Native Americans prior to the arrival of Europeans, with cigar tobacco being grown since the 1600s. In 1900, the Valley became the birthplace of shade tobacco. The film’s footage is taken from the tobacco plantation of Gus Magnusson and follows as his agricultural workers plant, harvest, and dry the crop.

One of a series of orientation films released in the "Fighting Man" series, this film is a fragmentary version of "Baptism of Fire" and only shows the last 10 minutes of the film. "Baptism of Fire" was a multi-award winning indoctrination film from 1943 which presented a stream-of-consciousness viewpoint of a soldier in combat. The film presents a newly trained soldier in his first combat foray, and follows his mental, emotional and physical experiences. As he moves from the rear area through the front lines and sees combat, and returns to a safe area, his ordeal is described in detail -- with the objective being that seeing this will assist troops placed in a similar situation. This orientation film was described in official texts as an example of "countermotivation" indoctrination, helping to promote proper attitudes and reactions to combat.

This silent promotional film for the San Diego &amp; Arizona Railway (also known as the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway Company) was founded in the 1906. The film was preserved thanks to the efforts of railroad enthusiast Jack White. The SD&amp;A railroad was the first modern line between San Diego and the East, and one of the most expensive ever built in the U.S., costing almost $19 million in 1919 ($325m in today's dollars). Built by sugar magnate John D. Spreckles, the right-of-way rises over 3700 feet from San Diego to El Centro, and in the Carrizo Gorge (spelled "Carriso Gorge in the film at :44) crosses 14 trestles and goes through 21 tunnels in the space of only 11 miles. At (8:22) the "international tunnel" is shown, as the train crosses from the USA into Mexico on the way to the Tecate Valley. At (8:58) a train is shown arriving in Tijuana, Mexico, and at San Diego at (10:20). At (11:08) the famed Hotel del Coronado is shown on Coronado Island. At (11:42) the U.S. Marine Corps base at Camp Pendleton is shown as well as Balboa Park (12:07). 

The SD&amp;A was dubbed "The Impossible Railroad" by many engineers of its day due to the immense logistical challenges involved, the line was established in part to provide San Diego with a direct rail link to the east by connecting with the Southern Pacific Railroad lines in El Centro, California. In 1932, financial problems forced Spreckels' heirs to transfer their share of SD&amp;A ownership to the Southern Pacific  The passenger line operated until the 1950s, and the right of way remained in use up until the 1980s when portions fell into disrepair. In 2001, the Carrizo Gorge Railway (CZRY) was created to provide freight service (primarily sand...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/97125aa5-1212-410f-88ac-96049e51e5d0/ced92cda-817f-46c5-94d0-9a1de791d759-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jDZkSWggZdxY7TpVJnsk8N</video:player_loc><video:duration>795</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T13:55:06.599Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wEj32bE1NTeqJWT8zzaDrt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/be67f226-ba26-4e9d-9f51-e596caea044e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"SCHLEY RIDE TO KANSAS CITY"  1954 JACKSON CITY, INDEPENDENCE &amp; KANSAS CITY     REEL 1 XD51244</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Reel 2: https://youtu.be/5j5pp1yduHA

This color travelogue style film was shot by Norman Schley in April 1954 and offers a first-hand account of Schley’s trip around Missouri. A skilled filmmaker from Wisconsin, Schley made a series of films under the moniker "Schley Ride" and/or "Picturelogue." Some of his films aired on television, while others were shown in front of live audiences. This particular account takes viewers along to explore the sites and wonders of Kansas City, Jackson City, Independence, and Excelsior Springs, Missouri. While many of Schley Ride films are silent, this film is fully narrated by Norman Schley who details both the type of shot he is taking with his camera and his opinions about the place he is visiting. This film not only has footage of important historical landmarks across Missouri but gives insight into the commercialization of middle America, where commercial real estate moguls started to majorly transform formerly sleepy towns.

This silent, historic film from 1959 shows a portion of the visit of Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev to San Francisco. Khrushchev and his party stayed at the Mark Hopkins Hotel and toured San Francisco Bay on Sept. 21, 1959 aboard the U.S. Coast Guard cutter USCGC Gresham (WAVP-387). The cruise was arranged by the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., who selected the Gresham, which at the time was in port at the naval station in Alameda. His day-and-a-half visit to San Francisco was part of a tour of the United States, ahead of a meeting at Camp David with President Dwight Eisenhower. The San Francisco leg of Khrushchev's trip was much less controversial than the previous stop in Los Angeles, where the Soviet leader got into a spat with the mayor and was famously refused entry to Disneyland. “All American cities I have visited are good," Khrushchev told the San Francisco Chronicle,"but San Francisco is the best.” 

In addition to Nikita Khrushchev, the film contains footage of his second wife Nina Petrovna Khrushcheva, Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., and senior members of the Coast Guard and U.S. Navy staff.

Made in the post-war period by the Soviet film bureau, this historic propaganda movie shows the Battle of the Dnieper in 1943. This operation took place in Ukraine on the Eastern Front and was one of the largest operations of the war. Over the course of four months, the German Wehrmacht was pushed back from the eastern bank of the Dnieper by the Red Army. 

The film begins with images of Soviet equipment and troops marching through mud, a patriotic song (0:20 - 0:40): "You write you have rains in 1941, you write "I miss you very much / You write I'll be back soon, wait / I'm still waiting."

Narrator: Victories of the Soviet Army near Stalingrad, in the Caucasus, on the Orel-Kursk Bulge changed the course of the war (0:46 - 0:55).

Narrator: Soviet troops (including some shown in winter clothing) and artillery began the liberation of Left-Bank Ukraine. (1:01 - 1:05)

Narrator:The enemy was sure that the powerful fortification of the so-called Eastern Wall, the main part of which ran along the Dnipro, was impregnable. "The Dnipro will flow back faster than the Russians will overcome it," he boasted. (1:15 - 1:31)

Narrator:And here is how Lieutenant Yuri Malkov understood it. He wrote: "We are facing the Dnipro, a natural obstacle. I will not say that it is a trifle: a steep, high bank. The Germans fortified it for two years. But there are no obstacles for us. Kyiv is waiting for us - we will come." (1:32 - 1:56

Narrator: Yurii, like you now, was 18 years old. But he already commanded a unit of the famous "Katyusha" and was a holder of the Order of the Red Star, a candidate of the CPSU (Communist Party of the Soviet Union). (1:58 - 2:12

“Bold Journey: Honey Moon on The Voyage” is a black and white travelogue film from the late 1950s. Bold Journey, a broadcast travelogue program from ABC television and created by Jack Douglas, centers the stories of adventurers and explorers who traveled to remote parts of the world. Sponsored by Ralston Purina Company of St. Louis, the films were usually set up by an interview between a program host and the guest, who then narrated their film with first hand footage. This particular account tells the story of Peter and Jill Hamilton, adventurers from Glasgow, Scotland, who attempt to circumnavigate the world on their 24-foot sloop Salmo. The pair sailed from Montreal to Pitcairn Islands to Tahiti and then back across the Pacific to California without modern amenities on their boat like electricity or an engine. The film features first hand footage from the couple’s adventure of the people, places, and things they encountered along the way - from the skyscrapers of New York City’s skyline to the hut-lined shores of Taipei.  Peter Hamilton also wrote a text account of the journey called "The Restless Wind". (Note: the "Salmo" still exists today and is based in San Diego.)

Produced and photographed by Dr. Rudolph Jaeger of Colorado, “Battling Bulls Below the Border” is a beautiful account of 1930s matador and bullfighting culture in Mexico City. This color, educational style film features footage from the final and largest bull fight of that year at Plaza De Toros “El Toreo” on March 28th, 1937. The various silent scenes are broken up by slides of text explaining what will come next. The film opens by panning the packed arena to convey its sheer size and the scope of cultural significance that the bullfighting performance carries. This particular bullfight featured Armillita, Garza, and Solorzano, some of the most famous matadores of the world, tasked with fighting six bulls from Piedras Negras. Bullfighting is a physical contest that involves a bullfighter attempting to subdue, immobilize, or kill a bull, usually according to a set of rules, guidelines, or cultural expectations - it is considered a practice of both ceremony and sport. Bullfighting was first introduced to Mexico about five hundred years ago shortly after the arrival of Cortes and the Spaniards.  It grew in popularity in Mexico and even today Mexico City’s Plaza De Toros bullring is said to be the largest in the world. Despite the sports’ cultural significance in Mexico, bullfighting was permanently banned in Mexico City as of June 2022, forcing the Plaza De Toros to shut its doors. Opening credits (0:06).

Released in 1948 by Encyclopedia Britannica films, "Christmas Rhapsody" is a Christian short story about the fate of a small "no account" fir tree, which is cut down and trimmed on Christmas Eve.  A sort of "ugly duckling" story that predates the plot of the "Charlie Brown Christmas", the tree is presented as a neglected outcast, ashamed of its height, but which unexpectedly finds itself at a place of honor in a family's home. The film's religious theme extends to the idea of Jesus loving all mankind, regardless of condition or circumstance. 

At 1:16, a small forest of trees is shown, with the small tree appearing against its taller neighbors. At 1:50 the tree grows in the snow. At 2:02, kids on a sled discover the tree and have a snowball fight. At 3:00 the children discover the tree and decide that it is perfect as a Christmas tree. At 3:23, their father approaches and the kids tell him about their discovery. At 3:56, the father reverently studies the tree. He hands his kids an axe so that they can chop the tree down. At 5:00 the children pull the tree across the snow to their home. At 5:42, the tree is brought into the family home. At 6:23, presents are placed underneath the tree and it is decorated with tinsel and ornaments. At 7:54 the star of Bethlehem is placed atop the tree, and a manger / nativity scene at the base of the tree. At 8:33, an animation of the clouds moving across the moon on Christmas Eve. At 9:24, the family sings "Silent Night" by the tree. 
 
No credits are given in the film for writer/director, but it does indicate that the music is orchestrated by Charles Henry.

Produced by Teaching Films, Inc in 1947, “Behind the Scenes at the Airport” is a short, black and white educational film that takes the viewer through the inner workings of the airport and all of the behind the scenes jobs that go into making air travel run smoothly. The film is partially scripted and follows a young boy named Ray as he experiences his first day of air travel and the pilot he befriends. This pilot becomes the narrator of the film and speaks over footage of different airport employees like mechanics, reservation clerks, pilots, ramp agents, dispatchers, and traffic control officers at work. Most importantly perhaps, is that the film contains images of Trans Canadian Airlines and American Airlines airplane models from the late 1930s such as the American Airlines Douglas DC-3. 

Opening credits (0:08). Title page overlaid image of American Airlines Douglas DC-3 (0:15). Interior of an aircraft: young boy looks out the window and sees Toronto skyline (0:23). Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) aircraft lands and the stewardess bids passengers farewell as they disembark (0:45). Plane pilot approaches young boy and asks him about his experience, tells him to get ready for his flight to Boston (1:14). Pilot narrates as film displays scenes from inside airplane hangar: “unseen” jobs of mechanics and technicians (2:17).

This untitled, silent, color film from 1968 documents flying practice of two U.S. Air Force jets: the McDonnell F 101 Voodoo and the Lockheed NF-104A Aerospace Trainer 56-756. The film is not edited but rather a sequence of raw footage of the two jets that is pieced together with make-shift clapperboards denoting changes in shooting. The footage focuses on various aspects of the flying drill from prepping the planes, the pilots, and their uniforms to washing the exterior body of the jets. This film is a significant historical archive because, based on the jets featured in this film, it might portray tests and flight runs at the United States Air Force (USAF) Experimental Flight Test Pilots School at Edwards Air Force Base during the height of the space age.  

Clapperboard (0:06). Dry, arid, sandy landscape and McDonnell F 101 Voodoo speeding along tarmac to takeoff (0:11). U.S. Air Force pilots wearing orange CWU-1/P flight suits assisted into the jet’s cockpit (0:28). Camera pans exterior details of the jet as it drives along the aerodrome (1:12). A pilot’s jumpsuit is adjusted with the help of a USAF lieutenant and mechanic (1:38). The pilot receives adjustments in the cockpit of the jet by jet engineer (2:08). Camera does close-up pan of exterior details of perhaps the Lockheed NF-104A Aerospace Trainer 56-756 - including rescue instructions (2:26). Two men in white jumpsuits coordinate cleaning the exterior of the Lockheed NF-104A Aerospace Trainer 56-756 (3:29). Engineers check fuel and interior mechanisms (4:04). The jet drives along tarmac (4:58). McDonnell F 101 Voodoo and Lockheed NF-104A Aerospace Trainer 56-756 side by side as they take off into the sky (5:37).

GEORGE S. PATTON BIOGRAPHY   THE BIG PICTURE U.S. ARMY TV SHOW   WWII 26894</video:title><video:description>Hosted by actor Walter Matthau and narrated by Ronald Reagan, this special episode of "The Big Picture" profiles one of the great generals of the 20th Century -- George S. Patton.  George Smith Patton, Jr. (November 11, 1885 – December 21, 1945) was a United States Army general, who commanded the Seventh United States Army in the Mediterranean and European Theaters of World War II, but is best known for his leadership of the Third United States Army in France and Germany following the Allied invasion of Normandy.Born in 1885 to a privileged family with an extensive military background, Patton attended the Virginia Military Institute, and later the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He participated in the 1912 Olympic Modern Pentathlon, and was instrumental in designing the M1913 "Patton Saber". Patton first saw combat during the Pancho Villa Expedition in 1916, taking part in America's first military action using motor vehicles. He later joined the newly formed United States Tank Corps of the American Expeditionary Forces and saw action in World War I, first commanding the U.S. tank school in France before being wounded near the end of the war. In the interwar period, Patton remained a central figure in the development of armored warfare doctrine in the U.S. Army, serving in numerous staff positions throughout the country. Rising through the ranks, he commanded the U.S. 2nd Armored Division at the time of the U.S. entry into World War II.Patton led U.S. troops into the Mediterranean theater with an invasion of Casablanca during Operation Torch in 1942, where he later established himself as an effective commander through his rapid rehabilitation of the demoralized U.S. II Corps. He commanded the Seventh Army during the Invasion of Sicily, where he was the first allied commander to reach Messina. There he was embroiled in controversy after he slapped two shell-shocked soldiers under his command, and was temporarily removed from battlefield command for other...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/05bcbc18-dbc2-4a26-95d6-4c025a52e6a8/2d1d4093-3f7e-4c24-80a1-72411498adb2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1H6fWY2qcauFnMhSnbpvTN</video:player_loc><video:duration>1691</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T14:22:52.578Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/j8z8aoJRNjE7j4YXM9vm7t</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/16713c1a-c574-4afa-93d3-3cd0c5105a5e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"LATRINOGRAMS"  WWII ANTI-RUMOR SHORT FILM FOR ARMY INDUCTEES &amp; ENLISTEES  XD65354</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

One of the more amusing films in the "Fighting Men" series produced by the Signal Corps for enlistees and inductees, "Latrinograms" takes a look at the kind of confusion, poor judgement and military miscalculation that can result from rumors and bad information. The term "latrinogram" was WWII slang for any gossip, rumor, or unfounded information passed along in the latrines (communal toilets). It could also refer to toilet wall graffiti that was used to spread rumors. At the start of this short, restricted film (meaning -- the public would not be permitted to see it), a group of G.I.s who are sitting on the latrine, discuss a news article about a "death ray" that will change military warfare forever. Another example shown in the film is a more prosaic kind, as an infantry squad becomes delayed, when the sound of a threshing machine is confused by a G.I. for enemy tanks. Still another rumor is shown when, in an active firefight, a squad leader wisely refuses to believe the report of a shell-shocked soldier. Fortunately, the squad leader doesn't pull back, saving his unit and those around him. "Until you've seen it for yourself or have gotten your information first hand, never stake your life on anything you hear in battle," concludes a veteran officer at the end of the film.

This fascinating, seemingly amateur-made film is entitled “Call of the Open Road” (1957). It was made by Hugh Randolph / Hugh Randolph Productions. (Randolph was a member of the SMPTE, Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, a professional organization.) This movie, which also can be seen as a paean to the American road trip, is narrated by Mary Harker and John Barry, and features music "by Erickson".

Directed by Austrian-born American filmmaker Alfred Fred Zinnemann, "The Story of Doctor Carver" dates to 1937 and was released by MGM. The short film dramatically recreates the life story of George Washington Carver (1864- 1943). Based at the Tuskegee Institute, Carver was the most prominent African-American scientist and inventor of the 20th Century. His area of study included agriculture, and he promoted alternative crops to cotton and techniques to improve soils depleted by repeated plantings of cotton. He wanted poor farmers to grow other crops, such as peanuts and sweet potatoes, as a source of their own food and to improve their quality of life. The most popular of his 44 practical bulletins for farmers contained 105 food recipes using peanuts. 

The film begins with shots of the cotton industry, including picking and baling of cotton (:28). At (:39) the effects of crop failure are shown due to soil depletion. At (:51) the dust bowl is seen in the Deep South. At (1:00) an actor portraying Booker T. Washington consults Professor George Washington Carver about the problem. At (1:00), an episode from the early childhood of the Professor is dramatically recounted, with the infant boy's mother packing him up in the middle of the night, in order to avoid his being kidnapped by slave traders. At (2:13), the slave traders catch the baby and his mother. The mother is tragically sold and separated from her child. At (2:55), the sickly baby is discovered by the planter on whose property the mother and child lived. The planter, a man named Carver, trades his horse for the child. At (3:22) the planter sends the boy to school and allows him to take on his last name as his own.

"Anarchy, U.S.A." is a widely discredited, 1966 right-wing film directed by G. Edward Griffin and presented by the conservative John Birch Society. A piece of pure propaganda, the film claims that the Civil Rights Movement and protests of the 1960s are part of a worldwide communist revolution that will lead to the creation of a communist African American state. The film uses photos and clips from the Civil Rights Movement as its evidence of the Movement trying to gain sympathy from the public for its cause.

Reel 2, Part 1: https://youtu.be/B0Q0RS6RmUw

This color travelogue style film from the late 1960s or early 1970s titled “Schley Ride to Hawaii” was produced by Norman E. Schley. Schley was a skilled filmmaker from Wisconsin who made a series of films under the moniker "Schley Ride" or “Schley Focus Ride” through his company Picturelogue Inc. Some of his films aired on television, while others were shown in front of live audiences. This particular account, which is predominantly silent and the second installment of a four-part series around Hawaii, takes viewers along on a guided tour with the Circle Island Sightseeing Bus around the Island of O’ahu. Unlike the first-part of this installment, this film emphasizes the natural wonders of the island as opposed to the bustling city of Honolulu. The majority of the footage depicts remote beaches, valleys of green as seen from Nu‘uanu Pali Lookout, and the farming and agriculture industries dominated by Hawaiian Commercial &amp; Sugar Co and Dole. “Schley Ride to Hawaii'' is historically significant for the insight it offers into the development of Hawaii, and in this case Honolulu and the Island of O’ahu, in the years after Hawaii officially became the 50th state of the Union in 1959.

This color travelogue style film from the late 1960s or early 1970s titled “Schley Ride to Hawaii” was produced by Norman E. Schley. Schley was a skilled filmmaker from Wisconsin who made a series of amateur films under the moniker "Schley Ride" or “Schley Focus Ride” through his company Picturelogue Inc. Some of his films aired on television, while others were shown in front of live audiences. This particular account, a predominantly silent film which is the first installment of a four-part series on Hawaii, takes viewers along on a trip from a San Francisco cruise terminal to the shores of Honolulu on the Hawaiian Island of O’ahu. The film opens with scenes from San Francisco before transitioning to footage from aboard the Matson Lines SS Lurline cruise ship. The majority of the film however, contains footage of historical landmarks around Honolulu, Waikiki Beach, and the hotels that began to populate the city’s shoreline. “Schley Ride to Hawaii'' is historically significant for the insight it offers into the development of Hawaii, and in this case Honolulu, in the years after Hawaii officially became the 50th state of the Union in 1959.

Produced by Aetna Casualty and Surety Company, this instructional film combines two shorter films titled “Passing Safely” and  “How Alert a Driver Are You?” . The both date to the early 1950s and were made in collaboration with the Board of Education of New York City.

This film from 1970 was presented by the Committee for Economic Development. "Anatomy of an Inflation" uses animation and live action to explain what causes inflation and how it affects the economy, with insight into taxation policies and the Federal Reserve. The film focuses on post WWII economy up to the late 60s.  The animated sequences were created by artist, illustrator and composer Bruce Cayard, who was well known for making animation for "Captain Kangaroo", "Sesame Street" and "The Electric Company". His work has a distinct, sketch style. 

1960s graphics of blue flames, promoting “The Peoples Natural Gas Company" which sponsored release of the film. Cartoon animation as the film starts with a crazy "production machine" built high into the sky by fictional people called the Lumians who live in Lumia (1:17). The machine spits out products. The Lumians line up to get money from the Paymaster shop. Pipes disperse products in their shopping carts at the “Milk and Honey” store (2:02). The production machine speeds up and smokes. They line up again for money and the Milk and Honey store but in fast motion. The Lumians frown as products spill out from the pipes. The Lumians protest the higher prices with signs that say things such as “More Things” and “Living Wage” (3:12). The cycle continues of price and wage increases. A Lumian holds coins in his hands as they shrink. A fancy car drives up a hill to a castle (3:57). The word “Inflation” bubbles up while a metal block that says “Economic Policy” tries to smash it. Footage switches to live action. Distorted fun house mirror footage of people at a carnival with amusement rides and neon signs (4:18). A man fills out a slip at a counter....</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bf0b8e2e-04bf-487b-bed7-0a6898d60a1a/fa11530e-9b0d-4290-bc1f-d7692858b0e4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pAhmuetpxSsmvKRJPc8R5E</video:player_loc><video:duration>1414</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T14:59:03.416Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mXJ9FoxgV1PawpHyD2STaV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/67d3e18d-ceb9-400b-bfc3-54c49cd9bf6c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"CENTRAL AMERICA"  1930s EASTMAN EDUCATIONAL FILM  PANAMA  GUATEMALA  COSTA RICA  NICARAGUA XD59864</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Produced by Eastman Teaching Films, Inc. of Rochester, NY in the 1930s, this silent educational film titled “Central America” highlights rural and cosmopolitan areas of Central America as well as the region's prosperous agricultural industries of mahogany logging, bananas, cacao, and coffee.  This particular Eastman Teaching Film educates the viewer on all aspects of these industries from planting to harvest to distribution through a compilation of black and white footage. This film offers important insights into industries that still hold economic importance to Central America and the world today as well as a decade in Central American history that was characterized by development. In fact, during the 1930s Central America witnessed a closing toward international trade and finance as well as the continuation of urbanization and economic development that began in the late 1920s. (Note the title card at end of the film that indicates that this print was once the property of the Board of Education of the City of New York.)

The first suit shown at the :10 mark appears to be a Navy Mark IV suit, such as those used for the first Mercury astronauts. Here, the subject is suspended on a harness, and is shown trying to complete a task using tools. Note that the work area moves (2:28) on some sort of gimbal, to further simulate the difficulty of working in zero gravity. At (3:20) the subject is shown working on a rocket engine. At (3:45) another subject is shown in an orange Mk IV pressure suit. At (4:34) he demonstrates his ability to move easily in the suit when pressurized. At (4:49), another suit is shown, possibly a Mk V or variant of the Mk IV. At (5:25), tools are shown modified with cardboard sleeves, to simulate tools that might be used in space by astronauts wearing gloves. At (5:35) the test subject works on a simulated task involving the tools. At (6:26), another subject is shown in what appears to be an SPD-143 pressure suit, designed by International Latex, part of the AX1-L series. Again, a task is shown involving fine motor skills and tools.  At (17:12), the SPD-143 is shown partially covered by a blue work coverall. The test subject is in a free motion gimbal to simulate weightlessness. A similar test is then shown with the orange variant.

Made to be shown to Kodak dealers, this longform commercials for the Kodak Ektra and Kodak Instant cameras dates to 1978, when the cameras were introduced. The first ad for the Ekta line features actor Michael Landon and appears to have been filmed in Marina Del Rey, California. The Ektra cameras used the 110 film format, an easy-to-use cartridge system which was innovative at the time. The cameras were produced in Germany and boasted a Kodar lens F:25mm, sunny/cloudy exposure settings, a bright-line viewfinder, and a built-in flash. The Kodak Tele-Ektra 2 offered four focusing zones, and had both normal and "tele" mode, and used disposable flipflash, but an electronic flash unit was also available. Kodacolor 110 film is also shown in the commercial (2:00). 

The second ad for the Kodak Instant cameras, including the "Kodak Handle" camera (8:00), features actor Dick Van Dyke. The Kodak products were not as successful as their Polaroid rivals, and Polaroid filed a patent infringement suit against Kodak in 1976. In spite of some crucial differences in Kodak’s approach to instant film and instant cameras, Kodak lost the case in 1985, and all Kodak Instant photo products were discontinued.

The 110 cartridge film system was created by Kodak as a result of long-standing consumer frustration about the complications involved with loading and unloading roll film cameras. The first were Kodak’s 126 cartridge “Instamatic” cameras, with 110 film cartridges introduced in 1972. The 110 system took advantage of improvements in film stock which permitted smaller, and therefore lower cost, negatives. The 110 cartridge size film was equivalent to 16mm width, and as a result the pictures were often sub...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/706ad54f-2f7e-464d-85b0-c621fb068443/f2deefb2-eb8c-4438-8c8e-cc229baef09b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eT9gQdNhYdQyqszPrSSGw8</video:player_loc><video:duration>514</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T15:00:43.892Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jY6cJiFMWKeWqH3rySNA1j</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e0df075b-fe65-4750-b467-6fb9d054da0b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"IT SEEMED LIKE YESTERDAY" 20th CENTURY UNITED STATES HISTORY NEWSREEL COMPILATION PART 1 96104</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Eastman Kodak produced this black-and-white silent educational film as part of the company's "Eastman Classroom Films" series. This particular film discusses the Panama Canal. It uses animated maps, title cards, and documentary footage to the Panama Canal’s construction and early use. The film is undated, but the Canal opened on August 15, 1914, Eastman produced many of their Classroom Films in the 1920s and into the 1930s, and the film is silent. It would have been accompanied by a study guide, and narration read aloud in the classroom by an instructor.

Film opens with a large steamer in the Canal, smoke billowing from smokestack; the Canal is narrow, docks line both sides and background mountains are visible (00:08). Shot from the other side of the hills, only the top decks, smokestacks, and masts of two passing ships visible over the hillsides (00:19). Title card: “A water highway through a mountain wall” (00:41). Three ships of steam around a Canal bend, rounding a steep rocky cliff (00:48). Title card: “The Panama Canal saves the long voyage around South America” (01:01). Map of North, Central, and South America, centered on Panama; the words “ATLANTIC OCEAN” and “PACIFIC OCEAN” slowly appear on their respective oceans; an animated circle appears around Panama as a line representing the canal moves across the isthmus (01:08). Shifts to a world map, still centered on Panama; the words “NEW YORK” and “SAN FRANCISCO” appear on their respective cities, and lines tracing shipping routes extend out from New York to San Francisco, showing a 16-day journey through Panama and a 40-day journey around South America (01:35).

Boeing Aircraft Company’s Engineering Division produced this black-and-white training film, “The B-17 Flying Fortress,” for the United States Army Air Force’s (USAAF) Air Services Command in 1942. The film is coded as Training Film AAF-136. The film presents the engine startup procedures for Boeing’s B-17 heavy bomber and is subtitled “Starting the Engines.” The narrator describes specific procedures in detail while a mechanic crew carries out system checks. The majority of the film’s shots are closeups of B-17 gauges and controls, as well as demonstrating how personnel maneuver through the plane and cockpit. Boeing introduced the four-engine B-17 in 1938, and the model remained in production through 1945. This film’s test plane tail serial number is 124387. The film takes place entirely on a runway; two mechanics enter the bomber as pilots while the others remain ground crew outside the plane. For convenience, they are referred to as “aircrew” and “ground crew” in this description, though they are all mechanics. 

Opens with a warning that the film’s contents concern national defense and transmission of its contents are restricted; invokes the Espionage Act of 1917 (00:15). Title appears over a shot of B-17 nose, engine propellers spinning (00:49). “Starting the Engines” title card (01:08). Crew of mechanics in jumpsuits approach a B-17 carrying tool boxes and fire extinguishers and inspect the plane’s exterior (01:27). Two men enter the bomber to act as aircrew (02:00). The aircrew make their way through the plane’s interior, walking briskly but slightly hunched in the cramped space; the interior is full of exposed girders and struts (02:03). They cross a narrow catwalk using hand c...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/19a6482e-9ce4-4df0-bdb2-7c6fc64c5428/b8bd2226-fa3f-48eb-9da0-ede8fa56139a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4aGR3UpHVa1evAReBKddMo</video:player_loc><video:duration>875</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T15:36:08.826Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/h5CxhJ5RmAjeHejiXuo1Ze</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d7a0195f-e06b-4184-bc0b-526ac3b527db.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“LIBERATORS OVER EUROPE”  B-24  44th BOMBARDMENT GROUP / 8TH AIR FORCE  WWII COMBAT FILM XD12064</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

An obscure company called Timkin Films produced this exceptional color film, “Liberators Over Europe.”  It dates to the post-war period, but uses rare historic footage to showcase the efforts of the “Flying Eightballs,” the 44th Bombardment Group of the 8th Air Force, to deliver a low-altitude supply drop in support of an assault by 14,000 American and Canadian troops on the east bank of the Rhine River on Saturday, March 24, 1945. Over 3,000 sorties were flown that day, riddling troop concentrations, supply columns, rail yards and airfields.  According to an official report, 53 German aircraft were shot down. The 8th lost 22 bombers and four fighters. The bombers in the film are Consolidated B-24 Liberators. Credits: Captain U.P. Harvell, photo intelligence officer of the 44th Bomb Group, director and cinematographer; T.W. Kinnally, narration.

Film opens with audio of men singing “I’ve Got Sixpence (As We Go Rolling Home)” by Box, Cox, and Hall over shots of the B-24 bomber “Diamond Lil” on a runway in Wesel, Germany on March 24, 1945 (however the film’s narrator later identifies the airfield as being somewhere in England) (00:10).

You can find additional material shot by William Ling of the protests here: https://youtu.be/QqhJYFOJoUA

This powerful short film dates to 1971 and was created as part of the protest movement against the Vietnam War. The film's soundtrack  shows various scenes related to protests against the Vietnam War. It was shot by William Ling, who was a student at the time. The film shows some of the protests known as "Operation Dewey Canyon III' that included members of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War.  The demonstration was given its name, "Operation Dewey Canyon III", in reference to U.S. military operations in Vietnam known as Dewey Canyon I and II. Some of the aspects of these offensives included secret incursions into Laos that were never reported to the American people.

The soundtrack to the film includes a song by the Jefferson Starship, snippets of TV or radio news coverage,  as well as the haunting poem "The Contrapuntal Civilization" by an anonymous writer.  The poem begins: "I have died in Vietnam. But I have walked the face of the moon. I have befouled the waters and tainted the air of a magnificent land. But I have made it safe from disease..."

The film starts with shots of protestors sleeping on April 24, 1971, the day of the main march. 500,000 people demonstrated against the Vietnam War — the largest-ever demonstration opposing a U.S. war.  Lincoln Memorial in background (2:05) and Washington Monument (2:13). March reaches Capitol Building (2:45).  Vietnam veterans, including members of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, march and speak at the Capitol (4:00).

Geoffrey Jones (Films) produced this color travelogue for British Petroleum (BP). Directed by Jones, a renowned British short filmmaker who made films for both BP and Shell Oil’s film units, “Trinidad &amp; Tobago” relies on thematic montage sequences to showcase a wide sampling of life on the islands. It's no surprise that BP produced a film about the island, as Trinidad and Tobago produces almost 98K barrels per day of oil (2016) ranking as the 50th most productive site in the world, and the largest oil and natural gas producer in the Caribbean. BPTT remains Trinidad and Tobago’s largest hydrocarbon producer, accounting for more than half of the country’s national production of oil and gas.

Opens with sunset montage: swaying palms trees, silhouetted people at harbor, palm grove (00:06). River montage: still water; reflections of trees; wading bird; fish jumping (00:36). Beach montage: lines of breakers; blowing palms, long crescent beach (00:53). A small farm amid mountainous jungle (01:10). Plant montage: Aechmea Aquilega, Cecropia Peltata (01:15). Bird montage: tropical mockingbird, motmot, bananaquit, antshrike, possibly a solitary cacique, thrush, blue-gray tanager, black-throated mango (01:33). Man throwing a fishing net into the water from a small boat with outboard motor (02:38). Pelicans flying and diving into the water (02:53). A hut at the end of a long pier, extending off a sandy crescent beach ringed by palm trees (03:35). Montage of building exteriors: wooden, stilted beach huts with grass and sheet metal roofs, plaster and stucco-walled, ground-level houses, closeups of window shutters and curtains, two-level homes with turrets and eaves, a large stone building with a tow...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7fe4c201-336b-4c4c-bfe0-de49113ac4cf/2154bfad-b73a-4d3a-80e8-0cc74781a97a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gMZ8AXUtyGAEiBPKnyMFii</video:player_loc><video:duration>1158</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T15:45:03.055Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jsGxgqnoAQmyEkggwiMWkq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/96a13bcb-4223-41bc-9f4c-eede8f0d92e2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OCCUPIED JAPAN HOME MOVIES  SKIING IN NAGANO, JAPAN SKI RESORT   XD65104</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows a visit to one of the ski resorts located in Nagano, Japan. The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan. Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear. He definitely worked as an instructor at the U.S. Army's AFFE Intelligence School, and toured Vietnam in the early 1960s to conduct strategic vulnerability surveys. These films dates to the period July 1947-May 1951, when Ryan served in the Department of Defense in the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, Far East Command. During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater. 

The film begins with shots from a moving train and then shows the Shinshū-Nakano Station (:33)  in the city of Nakano, Nagano, Japan. At 1:27, male and female visitors board a small trolley car and are whisked to the ski resort. The rest of the film shows Anglo tourists at the ski resort, which includes a ski lift (visible at 2:50). This is probably the Shiga Kogen Maruike, which had lifts as early as 1946, although we're not sure.

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows images shot at a Japanese ski resort, possibly near Nagano but it's not clear. Unlike some of the other films of skiing in this collection, this one shows a resort with a real ski lift (as opposed to a rope pull type lift.)  The first real post-war ski lift was installed in 1946 in Mariuke, Nagano, but there were also lifts installed in Moiwayama and Kusatsu by 1950. The ski resort shown might be any one of these. 

The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan. Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear. He definitely worked as an instructor at the U.S. Army's AFFE Intelligence School, and toured Vietnam in the early 1960s to conduct strategic vulnerability surveys. These films dates to the period July 1947-May 1951, when Ryan served in the Department of Defense in the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, Far East Command. During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater. 

The film begins with images of a man in a red ski jacket putting on his wooden skis. The film then shows various shots of people on skis, moving across the snow and posing for the camera. At (2:42),  there are images of an early ski lift followed by shots of downhill runs. The film concludes with images shot in the ski lodge (8:16), of friends warming up together and possibly having a hot tea or sake.

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows a visit to one of the ski resorts located in Nagano, Japan. One interesting aspect of the film, is that it shows M29 Weasels -- machines designed for combat in snow and mud -- being used at the ski resort as transport. The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan. Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear. He definitely worked as an instructor at the U.S. Army's AFFE Intelligence School, and toured Vietnam in the early 1960s to conduct strategic vulnerability surveys. These films dates to the period July 1947-May 1951, when Ryan served in the Department of Defense in the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, Far East Command. During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater. 

The film begins (:09) with the word "Shiga" written in the snow. This is shorthand for the  Shiga Kogen Resort in Nagano Japan. The Shiga Kogen Maruike resort was one of the first to have a ski lift, installed in 1946.  At (:40) a welcome sign for the Shiga Heights Special Services Hotel, as seen through the open side of an M29 Weasel snowmobile.  The M29 Weasel is a WWII era tracked vehicle designed for operation in snow. It was built by Studebaker. These machines were demilitarized and used at the resort for transport. At (1:36) a serviceman leans out the side. Later in the film (9:49) these machines are shown on the move on the mountainside, hauling skiers. At (12:48) tourists are shown trying to lift one of the machines, perhaps to clear one of the tracks.

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows a visit to Towada-Hachimantai National Park.The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan.

The film begins with shots of peasants (1:04) winnowing rice using traditional methods. At (1:25) a brown touring car idles while a picnic is served. At (1:39) the winnowing process continues. At (3:13) are shots of a large concrete dam. (It's not identified easily as there are many dams in Japan.)  At (6:27) a boat trip through a gorge, possibly Sumatakyo Gorge, Shizuoka Prefecture. At (6:36) a suspension bridge is visible.  If it is the Sumatakyo Gorge, this is the Sumata River. At (7:02) more shots of the dam. At (9:10) a visit to an unidentified temple. At (10:30), a American car -- probably a 1949 Buick Super 50, 51 or Super Sedanet -- drives through the countryside, which is dotted with waterfalls and fall foliage. At (11:03), Japanese in white traditional outfits walk down a rural road, beating on small drums. At (11:55), the roof of a traditional thatch house is repaired, and at (12:26) lumber prepared for an addition.

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows scenes likely shot in 1951, including the transport USS General H.B.

Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear.

During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater. This film shows the Akakura Kanko Resort (also known as ‘Akakan’), which was one of the first European-style ski resorts in Japan. The resort was established in 1937 and remains one of the most popular resorts in Myoko. During the Occupation of Japan, the resort became a recreation center for members of the Eighth Army and diplomatic guests. 

This film begins with images of Japanese couples learning to square dance (:11). At (:25) an American in a silk shirt takes photos of the event. It seems to take place on a sports field of some sort, with a big hill next to it.  At 2:19 some Western style cowboy dances are performed. At (2:49), Americans crowd the rails of the USS General H.

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows scenes shot in 1950, probably at the Sugadaira Ski Resort, located in Nagano Prefecture. The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan. Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear. He definitely worked as an instructor at the U.S. Army's AFFE Intelligence School, and toured Vietnam in the early 1960s to conduct strategic vulnerability surveys. These films dates to the period July 1947-May 1951, when Ryan served in the Department of Defense in the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, Far East Command. During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater.

The film begins with shots of a ski pole writing the words "Sugadaira" and "1950" in the snow (:50). At (1:11) a rope line, which moved skiers up the mountain before the ski lift was built, is visible. Skiers are shown negotiating the slopes before getting back on the tow line (3:00). At (3:55) a pack horse is shown on the base, bringing up behind it a sledge full of luggage. At (4:22) a skier puts on his skis and at (4:56) they set out for some cross country skiing. At (6:30) the cross country skiers are seen high on the mountain. A big vista (7:05) is filmed as the skiers rest and have a cigarette.   At (8:59) what appears to be an active volcano is visible. This is probably Mount Asama, which erupted in September of 1950. At (9:15) the group of hikers / cross country skiers reach the summit of a mountain, where a small monument is examined. The group then skis down the slopes.

“No Time for Ugliness” is a 1965 public service film presented by the American Institute of Architects, that warns against the visual and infrastructural dangers of urban sprawl and monotonous design. The film calls upon members to offer ingenious and creative solutions to urban planning challenges. Produced and directed by Peter Yung and Lawrence Ravitz, this short 23-minute displays a montage of clips from cities around the United States that act as prime examples of pioneering design, and that utilize and enhance their natural surroundings. Features narration by Wally King. The film also contains many scenes of slums, low cost housing and projects, and urban clutter in the form of endless advertising and billboards. The film ends by calling on civilians to put pressure on their local governments for proper and effective urban planning.

Sold to tourists in Hawaii as a souvenir, this short, silent film shows images of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. It begins with famous footage of the American fleet under attack, followed by shots of hangars and facilities aflame, and an inferno of burning ships and oil storage facilities. At 2:00, in aftermath footage, what appears to be the capsized hull of the USS Oklahoma is seen.  The film ends with shots from "present day" -- probably the 1960s -- of the hulk of the USS Arizona, prior to construction of the memorial monument.

Produced by the Calvin Company as a promo for Wheaties cereal and Wilson Sporting Goods, “Football for Millions” is a color 1950s educational sport film that strives to educate football audiences on the technical elements of the game. Presented by the National Federation of State High School Athletic Associations, the film features two short commercials by its sponsors (Wilson Sporting Goods Co. and Wheaties “Breakfast of Champions”). Composed of clips of the Redlands High School football team in Redlands, California playing a game at the University of Redlands, the narrator uses these clips to illuminate the rules and types of play in football to the audience. The short film argues that while football is an all-American pastime enjoyed by many, few actually know the games’ rules and regulations.

Produced by Boeing Aircraft Company, this restricted, black and white training film from the WWII era is titled “How to fly the B-17 Part II: Flight Operations”. It was produced in conjunction with airplane manufacturer Boeing, and was officially identified as Army Air Forces Training Film TF1-3394. As the title suggests, the film sought to provide USAAF pilot trainees with general familiarization with flight operations of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft. This is part 2 of a series of films, with the first film likely focusing on pre-flight ground checks of the aircraft. Notably, the film appears to have been shot at a desert runway, possibly Muroc AAF Base or a similar location.

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows scenes from Tokyo, including a parade of U.S. Army forces, and an "air show" put on with control line model planes. The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan. Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear. He definitely worked as an instructor at the U.S. Army's AFFE Intelligence School, and toured Vietnam in the early 1960s to conduct strategic vulnerability surveys. These films dates to the period July 1947-May 1951, when Ryan served in the Department of Defense in the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, Far East Command. During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater. This film begins with shots of a traditional dance and music performance, probably Gagaku dancing which is normally performed at several court functions at the Imperial Palace, at State Dinners and on the occasion of the Spring and Autumn Garden Parties.  Here the location unknown -- the building in the rear appears to be Beaux-arts style. At (2:00), railroad workers or gandydancers are shown at work on the roadbed. At (2:18) a group of workers, including at least one in a former Imperial Japanese Army uniform, are seen working on a wooden water wheel. At (2:50) a stone mason carves a piece of limestone. At (3:30) a crowd watches as a knife sharpener works on what appears to be a machete. At (3:40) a man sells turtles and at (4:30) lettuce or cabbage is seen in a farmer's market. At (4:50) a wonderful long shot of the street with market stalls.

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows scenes from a tour of the islands. It includes footage shot during a trip down the Hozu River, and includes footage shot on the Sakamoto funicular railway and a temple on Mount Hiei. Both of the funicular and river raft tours are still in operation, and visited by modern tourists. The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan. Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear. He definitely worked as an instructor at the U.S. Army's AFFE Intelligence School, and toured Vietnam in the early 1960s to conduct strategic vulnerability surveys. These films dates to the period July 1947-May 1951, when Ryan served in the Department of Defense in the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, Far East Command. During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater. This film shows the Akakura Kanko Resort (also known as ‘Akakan’), which was one of the first European-style ski resorts in Japan. The resort was established in 1937 and remains one of the most popular resorts in Myoko. During the Occupation of Japan, the resort became a recreation center for members of the Eighth Army and diplomatic guests.

This short, silent film promoting travel destinations was likely made to be shown in an airport lounge or travel agency. It dates to the mid to late 1940s.

Yellow tour coaches (likely made by the White Motor Co.) are seen driving tourists through the park at (:32). A bear cub crosses the road (:44) as visitors see geysers and hot pots and other natural wonders (1:00) including Old Faithful (1:44). At (2:41) a title card invites viewers to take an armchair tour of foreign lands and promotes the "This World of Ours" and "This Land of Ours" series of travelogue films (many of which appear on our channel).

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows a visit to a Japanese steel mill. It may be the Yahata Steel Works, which during WWII produced almost 25% of all rolled steel. If so, it is located in Kitakyushu, the northernmost city on Japan’s Kyushu Island. (The Yahata Steel Works has an interesting historical feature, the Higashida Daiichi Blast Furnace, which was originally built in 1901 and operated for about 70 years.) On the other hand, this film may instead show the Nippon Kokan's Ōgishima branch of the Keihin Works (Kawasaki, Kanagawa).

The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan. Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear. He definitely worked as an instructor at the U.S. Army's AFFE Intelligence School, and toured Vietnam in the early 1960s to conduct strategic vulnerability surveys. These films dates to the period July 1947-May 1951, when Ryan served in the Department of Defense in the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, Far East Command. During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater. 

The film begins with images of what appears to be coal being unloaded by a massive shovel. At :48 a sign reads "Coke Ovens". At 2:04, a smokestack belches white smoke into the sky. At 2:21 blast furnaces are shown. At 3:39, rivers of molten steel are visible inside the plant. At 5:49 the tube mill is shown and at 6:07 the medium sized bar mill. At 7:20 the large bar mill is shown. At 9:43, tower cranes loom above the steel works, and mobile gantries move through the yards.

Sid Davis Productions presents “Vandalism,” a 1953 social guidance / educational film that focuses on the travails of three groups of juvenile delinquents and their brushes with the law in Inglewood, California. The “pranks” pulled by the teenagers featured in the film range from throwing a scarecrow in front of a moving vehicle, stealing merchandise from a shop, spiking the punch bowl at a party, and “borrowing” a stranger’s car. The narrator intones that although these teenagers may often view such actions as lighthearted and fun, they will all inevitably lead to jail time and a police record.

Actor James Kirkwood stars in director Edgar G. Ulmer's film for the National Tuberculosis Association, “Goodbye, Mr. Germ” (1940). Utilizing both animation and live-action, Ulmer shows the viewer how tuberculosis is contracted and spreads throughout the body. Using the life of a young boy named Edgar as an example, Ulmer concludes his film by depicting the preventative measures taken so that Edgar’s own children can freely live a life without the disease.

One of several films in the "On the Farm" series made by the Union Pacific Railroad's Agricultural Development Department , "Culling Sheep" dates to 1952. Culling refers to the practice of selling off animals that a farmer or rancher no longer wants to, or no longer can afford to keep.This animal husbandry film was designed to educate not only the public, but specifically sheep ranchers and herders as to how to improve the quality of their flock for both meat and wool production. Culled and non-culled sheep are displayed side-by-side to compare the quality of the fleece and value of the meat. It includes methods of culling, culling layouts, comparison of wool and meat quality, and selection of ewe lambs and breeding lambs.

This WWII era training film was produced by the Army Pictorial Service, a division of the Signal Corps within the United States War Department. "Flame Thrower in Medium Tank" instructs the viewer on how to properly maintain the flamethrowers then used in medium-sized Sherman tanks (the M4 Sherman, officially Medium Tank, M4, was the most widely used medium tank by the United States and Western Allies in World War II). The narrator and on-screen tank maintenance crew chief first point out the individual components that make up the flame thrower before diving deep into the various maintenance and preventative measures necessary for the proper functioning of the weapon. (Note: The M4 A2 was typically equipped with bow mounted E4-5 flamethrowers. These were often referred to as "Ronson" or "Zippo" tanks and proved highly effective in clearing enemy positions in the Battle of Iwo Jima.)

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows a visit to the Kegon Waterfall, scenery at Lake Chūzenji, and the Grand Courtship Toshugo Nikko Festival festival. The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan. Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear. He definitely worked as an instructor at the U.S. Army's AFFE Intelligence School, and toured Vietnam in the early 1960s to conduct strategic vulnerability surveys. These films dates to the period July 1947-May 1951, when Ryan served in the Department of Defense in the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, Far East Command. During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater. (The date of this film is approximately 1949 -- but could be as late as 1951.)

The film begins with b&amp;w images of a tour guide waving a flag to a group of tourists. They are visiting a temple complex, probably the Toshogu Shrine, a magnificent memorial in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. This is a memorial to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which ruled Japan for over 250 years until 1868. At (:48), a sign in English and Japanese at the Kegon Waterfall. This feature is located at Lake Chūzenji in Nikkō National Park near the city of Nikkō. The falls is seen at (1:37) and following. At (2:05) small boats are seen, most likely on Lake Chūzenji. At (2:56) a luxury automobile  with three Anglo occupants slogs through deep mud on a dirt road. At (2:50), POV shots from a boat on the lake. At (4:56), another waterfall is shown, possibly the lower area of the Kegon Gorge....</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ddce5497-f400-4556-9b8a-98ef65a80f9d/59427179-9709-43e3-80fd-35138a3f4032-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/toArsegiVacHurvDyucshv</video:player_loc><video:duration>544</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T17:12:35.410Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3VJe2jWDPKKudbjdbb5DSv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/74a44146-421f-40aa-a0a0-3880497e00bd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" COMPUTERS " 1970 EDUCATIONAL FILM  IBM MAINFRAME PUNCHCARD &amp; MAGNETIC TAPE BASED COMPUTERS XD11964</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Released by BFA in 1970, "Computers" was created by Victor and Ellen Landweber. The film was apparently shot at, and had cooperation from, the Rand Corporation of Santa Monica, California. The film is notable in that it was produced roughly a decade prior to the arrival of the IBM Personal Computer, which revolutionized computing worldwide. "Computers" primarily shows mainframe and office type computers made by IBM, including the System/360 mainframe with its tape drives and hard drives. The System/360 was the first family of computers designed to cover both commercial and scientific applications and to cover a complete range of applications from small to large.. 

The film begins by showing an old adding machine (0:12). Then it shows a 100-year-old counting engine (0:18), probably designed by Charles Babbage. Modern computers including an IBM/360 model 65 (0:27). A person counting with their fingers appears on screen and the narrator states that humanity has needed to count since their beginning (1:08). Then the video shows an abacus or counting machine (1:24). Then, much older counting machines appear on screen (1:42).

This safety film on mining haulage rules was produced by NCB Films in 1982. The "Mining Review Series" were some of the UK National Coal Board’s most well-known film work. (The NCB, which was privatized in 1987, was a statutory corporation created to run the nationalised coal mining industry in the United Kingdom.) By the 1980’s when this film was produced, the NCB had just about 100 safety films in circulation. Even though as technology for mine work was improving, after 1980, the coal industry began its declining, which increased the production costs for the films. The film unit was officially closed in April of 1984. 

Film begins with a miner-locomotive going through a tunnel (0:11). The engineer is shown operating the train (0:25). A railroad worker is shown (0:32). Haulage and Transport is the most dangerous field of mining (0:52). The year the film was made, 17 men died and 176 injured on haulage and transport systems even though improvements have been made (1:05). Miners are shown working in the mine, the rail-stop for the mine car is kicked free and it rolls backward and crushes the miner was working there (1:56). Main title is displayed “Safety on the Move” (2:02). The mine car is shown again with blood on it (2:10). The general transport rules are shown (2:39). The film shows a mine-loco driver taking a shortcut to get by an obstacle, and a deputy on his run, who then gets hit by the mine-loco driver (3:44). The film then shows the correct way to station a mine car and switch the tracks with a mine-loco safely going by (4:10). 50% of haulage accidents are often people who are not haulage personnel—most of the time officials (4:18). Film shows a miner trying to squeeze past ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5e8ff3e7-0507-45fb-bf3e-59c4ef7fcb31/43acf7a3-e8ab-4cb1-97d1-a6f98a2860ca-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cFghALzrFjyh3wDW3nfa6c</video:player_loc><video:duration>834</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T17:16:23.921Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sgXtohrtZm6RkWNCw72QGY</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e6ead718-b5f6-4cc9-9101-c8499dc5016e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"FLIGHT INTO TIME"  1940s TRANS WORLD AIRLINES  TWA LOCKHEED CONSTELLATION  SHORT XD60344b</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

TWA, or the Trans World Airlines, was an American airline in operation from 1930 to 2001. Though it was one of the most successful airlines in 20th Century history, the airline suffered major financial losses and eventually went bankrupt in 2001. This film was most likely made in the immediately post-WWII era, when the Lockheed Constellation was used for trans-Atlantic service. It promotes the safe, luxurious, modern and efficient service offered by the airline.

This silent 1957 color film -- possibly an amateur shot home movie -- chronicles the visit of Vice President Richard Nixon to welcome the arrival of the Mayflower II.  The replica ship arrived at Plymouth on June 13th after a storm at sea. In addition to Vice President Richard Nixon, all the former Governors of Massachusetts attended the event. The Mayflower II was a replica of the original Mayflower ship that brought the Pilgrims to the New World in 1620. It was built in Devon, England in 1955 in a collaboration between Englishman Warwick Charlton and the Plimoth Patuxet living history museum. It is currently housed at the Pilmouth Patuxet in Plymouth Harbor, Massachusetts.

Associated Film Services produced this color film for The American Lutheran Church (TALC), Division of World Missions, to raise money for its India mission. It features wide-ranging scenes of Indian street life, architecture, religions, castes, missionary schools, and the New Delhi Republic Day parade on the Rajpath. It was likely produced in the early 1960s. Though Lutheran missionaries have had a presence in India since 1706, TALC didn’t form until 1960. Also, the film features Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who served from 1947-1964, making pre-1964 production likely. The film also mentions the People’s Republic of China threatening India.
Note: the film frequently refers to Hindu and Muslim religious practices as “pagan” and “idolatrous.”

This 1957 black-and-white historical film produced by Castle Films shows the journey of the Mayflower II, a replica of the original Mayflower ship that brought the Pilgrims to the New World in 1620.

Crewmen handle the rigging, made of more than 50 ropes, to raise and lower the sails (1:54). The Mayflower II was 90 feet long and 25 feet at the widest point. Captain Alan Villiers, who commanded the ship, peers through a sextant at the horizon (2:28). Captain Villiers and another crewmember kneel to look at a map on the ship’s deck (2:47). Crewmen swab the deck (2:51). A man pulls chunks of salted beef out of storage (3:00). The ship’s doctor harvests watercress from the watercress garden, which was grown in a box onboard (3:11).

Between the years of 1957 and 1963, the U.S. Army took on a structure for its Infantry and Airborne branches called the "Pentomic". This was adopted by the U.S. to counter the possibility of enemy forces using tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield. There were five supporting units, which were commonly called battle groups. Pentomic comes from Greek, meaning, of five parts. This orientation film "Long Range Firepower" was produced by the United States Army and dates to the period from 1957 to 1962. It shows a wide variety of Army capabilities, including the M65 atomic cannon, as well as high tech missiles of various types including ground to air, ground to ground, and anti-missile.

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows scenes shot in 1948, primarily at the Yuzawa Ski Resort. The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan. Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear. He definitely worked as an instructor at the U.S. Army's AFFE Intelligence School, and toured Vietnam in the early 1960s to conduct strategic vulnerability surveys. These films dates to the period July 1947-May 1951, when Ryan served in the Department of Defense in the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, Far East Command. During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater.

This film begins with shots of the engineer in the cab of an electric locomotive (:10). This is probably the express train from Tokyo to Echigo Yuzawa, site of the Yuzawa ski area.  At (:50) a small water wheel is visible, possibly a hydro-electric power station. At (1:12) writing in the snow announces that it is February, 1948 and that we're in Yuzawa. This area is known as “yukiguni” which translates to “snow country”.  It remains the most convenient ski region to get to from Tokyo. Skiers are seen on the hills of the resort, which looks fairly primitive in this era, with lots of tar paper shacks. At (1:57) a train is seen arriving at the base of the ski resort. At (2:44) a fallen skier is helped by a friend. At (4:54), skiers pose for the camera. At (5:30) color footage shows a cable tow line, which was used in place of a ski lift, allowing skiers to ride up to the top of the hill. At (6:00) a Japanese man, possibly a famous skier, poses for t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e403c47b-2eab-4e1d-ab53-c3bd4e5535e4/577e00c5-ac78-4eab-a626-a417f116362c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ua4ydnMdpbZQcdwg5o6PFb</video:player_loc><video:duration>452</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T17:38:31.475Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/etBMFSNUF8LD7xTXirqanD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6ae882fb-a85b-4313-8fd3-4b19dd5a317c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“HERITAGE” 1940S CIVICS, TOLERANCE, AND ANTI-TOTALITARIANISM CARTOON    SOCIAL GUIDANCE FILM 70094</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Directed by Art Scott and produced by Ted Robinson in the mid 1940’s, “Heritage” is an animated short that warns American citizens against anti-civil behavior and the dangers of totalitarianism. The story follows Tom Allman ("all man"), an average citizen who is overcome by contempt for the pressures of the modern world and is jailed after continued unruly and uncivil behavior. Allman is then taught the importance of morals, religion, and civil rights within the context of law and governance, witnessing how the lack of such things can lead to the loss of individualism in totalitarianism. Ultimately, Allman comes to recognize this, reflects on his behavior, and reenters society as a moral and civil citizen.

The short animated film was funded in part by three different religious or religion affiliated organizations, the Anti Defamation League of B’nai B’rith (now referred to as the Anti Defamation League), Catholic Youth Organization Chicago, United Christian Youth Movement. The film was likely a response to the rise of totalitarianism across the globe during the 1900’s, and more specifically, its increased prominence during World War II.

Camera zooms in through space, eventually focusing on an animated Earth (0:58). Scene changes around primitive man in leopard skin outfit (1:20). Animation pans to show various environments and forms of civilization (1:43). Camera zooms in on a quaint neighborhood home and its mailbox (1:54). A man named Tom Allman sits at a table eating cereal and reading the newspaper (2:04). Allman grows increasingly frustrated and expresses outrage at the table (2:16). Allman transforms into an anthropomorphic lion (2:48). Allman, still in his lion form, rushes to work (2:58). Allman speeds in his car, breaking traffic laws and endangering a traffic cop (3:07).

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows scenes of the long trip back towards the United States via both civilian and military airplanes. It was probably filmed in 1953, based on the fact that an early jet airliner appears in the footage. The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan. Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear. He definitely worked as an instructor at the U.S. Army's AFFE Intelligence School, and toured Vietnam in the early 1960s to conduct strategic vulnerability surveys. These films dates to the period July 1947-May 1951, when Ryan served in the Department of Defense in the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, Far East Command. During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater. 

The film begins at the Haneda Air Field / Haneda Army Air Base, now known as the Tokyo International Airport aka Tokyo Haneda Airport, or Haneda International Airport.  Footage includes shots of hangars and impressive views from the control tower (:32). At (:50) the Alaska Airlines DC-6 "Starliner Aleutian" is shown on the runway. At (:59) the props are rotated prior to engine start. At (2:10), overexposed footage from inside another aircraft as it leaves Japan.

"The Big Walk" is a short documentary about the March of Dimes walkathon presented by the National Foundation of the March of Dimes. The non-profit MoD pioneered vaccine research leading to the eradication of polio in the U.S., and then  shifted focus to address some of the biggest health threats to moms and babies (with innovations like folic acid, newborn screening and surfactant therapy).  The film was produced by Al DeCaprio, story and lyrics by Joseph Scher, edited by Richard Del Prete, and composed and narrated by Paul Evans. It dates to 1973, and features many shots of people young and old, from every creed and color imaginable, and including hippies, people with disabilities, and what appear to be veterans of the Vietnam war. The very first March of Dimes walkathon involving the general public took place in San Antonio, Texas, on October 7, 1970. The event name was later changed to WalkAmerica (1981) and more recently to the March for Babies.  

Participants assemble and move down city streets past a Cokesbury bookstore (:39) and meet at the municipal stadium to begin the walk (2:08). Officials from the city and the national foundation are present during the welcoming events (2:24). Checkpoints are stationed along the route for breaks and participants have their cards stamped to mark how long they have walked (2:53). Other cities across the U.S. also participate in the March of Dimes walkathon (3:57) including Houston, Texas where a crowd is seen in front of the Astrodome (4:20).

It was likely made by the Columbia Corporation, as it profiles the "Columbia System" (:36) of natural gas infrastructure that spanned Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky and Maryland. The film begins with images of oil prospecting equipment being loaded off B&amp;O railroad cars (2:00) bound for the gas fields. Teams of horses are used to move the pipes (3:10) up steep grades. At 4:30 the intertitle notes that the "work goes on year round", and horses are seen moving equipment in the snow. At 5:30 and following the operation of a gas well is explained, as well as some of the underlying geology. At 7:30 the drilling techniques are explained -- amazingly similar to those used today in many respects -- and the process is shown -- with lots of manual labor highlighted. At 8:22 after reaching rock a beam is used to cut and pound downward into the rock. Drill heads are periodically sharpened as they become dull from the pounding. At 11:20 steel pipe case-ins are shown being positioned to ensure against catastrophic loss of the well through a cave-in. At 13:50 water is drained out of the drill and at 14:00 a special tool to retrieve a lost bit is inserted into the hole. At 15:30 nitro-glycerine is used to create a "torpedo" explosive to enlarge the hole. The well is now apparently producing gas... so at 17:48 the new well is connected to the existing main line. At 18:55 the steel rig is shown being dismantled. At 22:40 teams of men move pipes into place. The finished pipeline is inspected by walkers at 25:33, who ensure it does not have leaks. 

Formed in 1906 in Huntington, West Virginia, the Columbia Corp. produced natural gas in that state and eastern Kentucky for delivery to Cincinnati, Ohio. Later renamed Columbia Gas &amp; Electric Company, it doubled in size with the acquisition of Ohio Fuel Corporation in 1926. The resulting company was incorporated in Delaware as Columbia Gas &amp; Ele...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/aa15702c-7983-4c2f-bd47-ac8bca0382b0/2a0763b1-97f6-4f1d-acae-ea4f74256fe1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/n19Y78p3MVxmrmEVhfATLu</video:player_loc><video:duration>1554</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T17:46:07.871Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/co1vcvqaZR33EvyXfYZ3vJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6649c8ca-a97e-4edb-a747-9b4abe12fee0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"STORY OF A GAS WELL" 1940s INDUSTRIAL FILM  NATURAL GAS WELL DRILLING &amp; PRODUCTION (PART 2) XD42244</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Part 1: https://youtu.be/30jfznkWoO4

Produced in the late 1930s or early 1940s, this silent educational or industrial film depicts the final steps of construction of a previously drilled gas derrick. (This is Part 2 of a two-reel film, with the first part of the film showing prospecting for gas.)  It's not known who produced the film, but it might have been Ohio Gas Company, as the final shots in the film are of Columbus, Ohio, and several vehicles in the film have Ohio license plates (10:44).  In the film, workers install several different layers of piping, use nitroglycerin explosions to help loosen gas reserves, install gauges for gas pressure tests, and ultimately swab the well and put it into production.

Camera pans over a yard filled with stacked pipe (0:10). Workers roll pipe across makeshift ramps to transport them (0:27). Pipe is transported on diesel trucks, possibly Macks (0:38). A pulley or crane system is erected to help lift pipe  (0:58). Pulley/crane system is used to transport pipe to the top of the derrick (1:46). The pipe is lowered so it can be coupled with existing ground piping (2:23). The two pipes are connected and secured (2:36). “Rings and slips” are fastened around pipe connections to add structure and support (3:14). Newly attached pipe is driven further into the wellbore (3:23). Nitroglycerin is prepped, lowered into wellbore, and ignited to increase well production (4:00). More piping is rolled off of trucks (5:53). New segments of thinner pipe are now inserted into the wellbore and connected (6:12). The well is finally “tubed” (7:08). A man installs a gauge and performs a pressure test (8:03). Gauge shows a slight increase in pressure (8:31).

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows scenes from a tour of the islands. It includes footage shot during a trip down the Hozu River, and includes footage shot on the Sakamoto funicular railway and a temple on Mount Hiei. Both of the funicular and river raft tours are still in operation, and visited by modern tourists. The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan. Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear. He definitely worked as an instructor at the U.S. Army's AFFE Intelligence School, and toured Vietnam in the early 1960s to conduct strategic vulnerability surveys. These films dates to the period July 1947-May 1951, when Ryan served in the Department of Defense in the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, Far East Command. During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater. This film begins with shots of a tourist boat transiting the Hozu River, part of Katsura River in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. The river is known primarily for its association with Hozugawa Kudari, literally "down the Hozu river", a sightseeing whitewater boat that goes downstream from Kameoka to Arashiyama. Hozugawa Kudari is especially popular in the fall, when the Japanese Maple leaves change colors, and in the Spring, when the sakura, or Japanese cherry tree, blooms. At :29, a point of view shot from being on a rickshaw, drawn by a man who seems to be wearing an old Japanese army uniform. At 4:30, a Komusō with a wicker helmet (resembling a pot or urn) on his head plays a flute for the tourists. At 5:48, boats are shown bein...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8cd614b4-d1b4-4ac8-b9f7-faf23b6dc332/5b5ae71a-ad90-47f5-91ec-7ca9aa220d13-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ioFwGaRDV481hB9VHGVLS7</video:player_loc><video:duration>855</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T17:46:41.584Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/29Zm3uMHVnFF4rAbL4RUVX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8459d45d-ec84-4e81-abe6-f023b89dab0b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>”IMAGE IN A BOTTLE” 1970s CHRISTIAN ALCOHOLISM &amp; ADDICTION EDUCATIONAL FILM     XD65654</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Dating to 1929, this silent 16mm home movie contains footage of the Portland Rose Festival around 3:36. (It's not certain, but this might represent some of the earliest extant moving picture footage of the event.) The film begins with images of some people at a rural location, playing games sawing wood, drinking milk or cider from a bucket, and having fun. At :58, brief shots during the winter, with someone tasting an icicle. The area around 1:03 may be at or near the Timberline Lodge. At 1:21, a girl practices with a golf club, and shows off her new dress. At 1:47 she shows off a costume, probably for the Rose Parade. At 2:06, what appears to be a small botanical garden (possibly part of the Portland Botanical Garden) is shown, covered in funny signs. Portland International Rose Test Garden or the Lambert Gardens (opened in 1930) as they had a Rose Festival Court Garden. At 2:47, a swan is shown in a duck pond. The Rose Parade starts at the 3:36 mark with various floats on display. According to an Internet post, 1929 was a difficult year on the finances of the parade, with public interest somewhat limited.  First appearance of Royal Rosarians, upper right corner, 03:47.   Float: Horse drawn Carnation second word appears to be either City or Co. followed by fresh milk, 5:36.  (According to Oregon Geographic Names, there was a town named Carnation in Washington County, less than 30 miles from Portland, because of the Carnation Milk Products Company had a condensery near the town.)  Float: Blue Lake Park-Originally a private park later acquired by the City of Portland Parks Department, 6:14.

Produced by the Office Chief of Information Officer, “With Pride and Dignity” is a 1962 educational film promoting the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) of the United States. The film follows WAC Lieutenant Colonel Mildred Bailey as she walks through the various roles, responsibilities, and benefits afforded to women who join the WAC. In addition, Lieutenant Colonel Bailey gives a brief history of the WAC, outlining the accomplishments and success achieved both by the original women of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, and later the women of the Women’s Army Corps. In addition to serving as an educational film, “With Pride and Dignity” likely also served as a form of promotion or recruitment for women who were interested in joining the Women’s Army Corps.

The Women’s Army Corps was originally founded in 1942 as the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, and served as a way to get women more directly involved in the war efforts. While Roosevelt originally expected less 25,000 volunteers, an overwhelming number of applicants resulted in the limit being raised to accommodate over 100,000 more women. These women took on a multitude of roles, including switchboard operators, mechanics, and stenographers. Once “auxiliary” was dropped from the title in 1943, many women were permitted to serve overseas with the hope that they could “free a man to fight” (take an occupied non-combative role and allow the previous occupant to join combat).

“Up Front” is a color, PSA-style film from the 1970s that centers the voices and opinions of teenagers and young adults regarding drugs, the pressures that drive young people to them, and whether they are truly such a menace. Nonetheless, the film's true overarching goal is to offer nuanced perspectives around drugs and drug addiction, humanize users, and promote the creation and support of self-help centers. Produced by the Motion Picture Chief Administrative Office of Los Angeles County, the film predominantly consists of footage from conversation groups of teenagers and young adults on a TV-set moderated by recovered addict Roy Evans and behavioral scientist Steve Rush as well as some first hand footage from some of the self-help houses around the Los Angeles and Hollywood area.

Excerpts of the 1960 addresses to the 15th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City delivered by Nikita Krushchev, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1958-1964) on October 13, and Fidel Castro, the Prime Minister of Cuba (1959-1976, and President from 1976-2008) on September 26 (0:09). Khrushchev begins his address to the Assembly, which was a response to James J. Wadsworth, the representative of the U.S. who spoke out against the U.S.S.R. in a prior speech. Khrushchev describes the U.S. as an imperialist power as the audience claps approval. It was also during this same U.N. General Assembly speech that the notorious “shoe-banging incident” supposedly occurred. During a debate on a Soviet resolution decrying colonialism on October 12, Khrushchev was infuriated by a statement made by Filipino delegate Lorenzo Sumulong that charged the Soviets with employing a double standard by decrying colonialism while establishing its political presence across Eastern Europe. The authenticity of Khrushchev banging his shoe on the table has since been debated due to varying accounts by journalists at the Assembly but is often remembered as a key moment of his political legacy. At (3:34) Fidel Castro begins his address. He discusses Cuba as a former colony of the U.S. and the last country in America to free itself from Spanish colonial rule and denounces imperialism and colonialism. The speech, at 269 minutes, was the longest delivered to the U.N. thus far and is known as one of the longest timed speeches delivered to the General Assembly. Sworn in as Prime Minister of Cuba only recently on February 16, 1959, the speech precedes the Cuban Missile Crisis, a defining moment of the Cold War in 1962.

Dating to 1943, this film "Kill or Be Killed" was produced as part of the "Fighting Man" series of WWII training films. Shown to soldiers during indoctrination, the film uses a series of staged re-creations to demonstrate that there are no rules of sportsmanship or fairplay on battlefield. "Anything goes," states the narrator, "when the stakes are kill or be killed". Soldiers are encouraged to improvise and use any weapon that comes to hand, be it a rifle, bayonet / trench knife or hand grenade.

This short film from 1948 celebrates the 173rd anniversary of the United States Marine Corps, which was founded in 1775. It shows the 2nd Marine Division being inspected by Gen. Clifton V. Cates, Commandant of the Corps. The location is Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. At the time, the 2nd Division had just returned from an amphibious landing exercise. The film goes on to show some of the capabilities of the USMC, and the "first team" which includes new jet aircraft (1:30), cutting edge helicopters (1:40), and more. At 1:58, the Freedom Train is shown along with the Marines who guarded it. The 1947–49 special exhibit Freedom Train included the battle flag from Iwo Jima. At 2:20, General Clifton B.

This 1945 RKO short film "The House I Live In" was made to oppose anti-Semitism and promote religious tolerance and ethnic harmony in the wake of WWII. It stars Frank Sinatra, who appears playing himself, and was written by Albert Maltz (who later famously was blacklisted due to his leftist leanings). 

In the film, Sinatra is seen taking a smoke break from a recording session. He sees a group of boys who are chasing a Jewish boy. Sinatra intervenes and gives his two cents about how all Americans should be respected, regardless of their religion, and that "one American's blood is as good as any other". The song "The House I Live In" originally appeared in the musical revue Let Freedom Sing, which opened on Broadway on October 5, 1942. The song lyrics were by Abel Meeropol and music by Earl Robinson. Sinatra's version went on to become a national hit. 

The lyrics to the song "The House I Live In" describe the wonderful things about the United States, with images of the town grocer, butcher, and the churchyard. Here, the "house" is a metaphor for the United States. Meeropol is also famous for writing the anti-lynching song "Strange Fruit", which became Billie Holiday's signature song. Like Albert Maltz, Meeropol and Robinson were leftists who both ran afoul of the government in the McCarthy Era. 

Sinatra introduced the song in 1974 with these words: "It's a song about this great, big, wonderful, imperfect country. I say imperfect because if it were perfect it wouldn't be any fun trying to fix it, trying to make it work better, trying to make sure that everybody gets a fair shake and then some. My country is personal to me because my father, who wasn't born here, rest his soul, he made...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ff987418-6e58-41f7-8bea-93f28cf821f9/5342c026-975a-4374-a056-4c9b1958ae34-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xyADKKs9PBFrsuFpsur5Mg</video:player_loc><video:duration>635</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T18:28:23.219Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6DYFD2w7EHD781cqrLFDxK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/60500c30-70ff-4ec0-aef6-13173c4e4e98.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE PORT OF TOLEDO OHIO, U.S.A."

One of a series of extraordinary home movies shot in Occupied Japan immediately after WWII, this film shows scenes from a tour of the islands. It includes footage shot at the fishing village of Habu Part, Oshima-machi, a visit to an active volcano (probably Akita-Yakeyama, but we're not certain), and Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi. The man who filmed these was a Harvard graduate ('43) and U.S. Army Intelligence Officer named Robert Ryan. Ryan may have very well worked for the OSS, although it's not clear. He definitely worked as an instructor at the U.S. Army's AFFE Intelligence School, and toured Vietnam in the early 1960s to conduct strategic vulnerability surveys. These films dates to the period July 1947-May 1951, when Ryan served in the Department of Defense in the Geographic Branch, Theater Intelligence Division, Far East Command. During this time he served in Occupied Japan and in the Korean theater. 

This film begins with shots at or around Habu Part, Oshima-machi, a small, scenic port village on southern part of the island of Izu Ōshima, located in Tokyo Prefecture, Japan.

This series of anti-alcohol abuse shorts are from a series called “Trigger Films for Health”. They were produced by the University of Michigan Television Center, directed by William LaCrosse, and supported by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). The concept behind these non-traditional films was to promote discussion among the subjects who watched them. The films emphasize the motivations of drug behavior and do not overwhelm with facts or precautionary examples. The films instead looked a topics such as peer pressure in an oblique way, so as to allow discussion to foment. It's not clear how successful these films were in practice.

(0:30) “Six Cans, Count ‘Em” – Opens with a close-up of six Schlitz beer cans and a hand counting them. Another hand comes in and affectionately places itself on the hand counting. The male voice in the commercial appears to equate drinking prowess and the ability to hold one's alcohol with masculinity.

(1:55) “The Toast” – Close-up of a hand opening a wine bottle and pouring the wine into glasses. One hand blocks the wine from being poured into their glass. They all do a toast and one glass pours some of their wine into the empty one. The film raises the question, how can a non-conformist or non-drinker gracefully face a situation where alcohol is served?

(3:23) “The Game” – Teenagers play basketball. One teen holding a book watches the game. The players take a break and pull out a cold beer. The teen watching comes up and asks for some, but the older boys don't let him drink. The film raises questions about peer pressure, and the privilege of age and consumption of alcohol.

This epic reel of beautifully shot, silent home movies, entitled "Adventures in Mexico and Central America", were created by Sam Arner during the 1950s. The films show a trip from the border at El Paso, Texas and across the length of Mexico to Mexico City and then Central America, and include scenes that are a mix of culture, archaeology and vacation / tourism. One shot in the film appears to show Diego Rivera at work (20:00).  Unfortunately, we do not know much about filmmaker Sam Arner, but presumably he presented and narrated this film in person on the lecture circuit.

The film begins at El Paso, Texas as a PCC trolley car rumbles near the border (:41). Still shots and pans of desert landscapes and towns in Mexico. Men in hats tend herds of goats and ride donkeys. Shots of ruins. Cars and people move through the streets of a small town. Wide shot of small brown pyramids, apparently part of a Zacatlan pyramid hotel.

This episode of the late 1950’s era travelogue program Bold Journey, presented by the prolific and pioneering adventure television host Jack Douglas, features two films that both relate to, per the title, the "open sky". Douglas allows famed glider pilot Robert Greenbaum to showcase his travels to Oberweisenfeld, a glider aircraft center in Munich, Germany, as well as an unnamed glider center in Kufstein, Austria. Greenbaum then takes us in the second half of the program to the Centre National de Parachutisme, a skydiving school in Biscarrosse, France.  Note: Apparently a short time after this episode aired, Robert Greenbaum and a passenger were killed in a glider accident at Elsinore, California. The cause was the structural failure of the glider's wing.

This 1940s promotional film produced by J.I. Case explains construction and performance characteristics of tractors and advertises the new VA Series Case tractor. Scenes show Case VA series tractors with hydraulic control and Eagle hitch. The color film begins with a scene of a male and female farmhand caring for several brown-and-white spotted cows in a field (0:48), as a voiceover explains how, similarly to heifers, tractors can also be judged based on different characteristics. A red Case VA Series tractor is shown while the two farmhands stand in front of it (1:20), followed by a closeup of a red and white Case sign with bald eagle logo (1:30). J.I. Case was an agricultural machinery and construction company founded in 1842 in Wisconsin, and was one of the U.S.’s largest producers of tractors and U.S. military equipment. Case introduced the VA Series tractor in 1942. Internal parts and machinery of a Case VA tractor are shown (2:02). Scenes of a man riding the tractor in a field using various plowing equipment, including a moldboard plow, disc plow, spike tooth harrow, drag harrow, disc harrow, and roller packing, are shown (2:39). The VA series tractor is shown hauling manure, hauling brush, wind rolling grain, and pulling and driving a combine. The video explains that the VA Series Case tractor’s power has adaptability at 6 key points: 1) Quick coupling to mounted implements, 2) Front masterframe, 3) Hydraulic controls, 4) Right-hand belt pulley, 5) Central power take-off, 6) Adjustable drawbar.

This film contains footage of the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park, an 11-mile heritage railroad located in Cass, Pocahontas County, West Virginia. The park also includes the town of Cass and part of the summit of Back Allegheny Mountain's Bald Knob. The film begins with shots of Meadow River Lumber Company diesel locomotive #9 moving a caboose. This locomotive was a General Electric 70 Ton Switcher, Production Roster - SN 32816. The film then shows extensive footage of Cass steam locomotive #6. The film was shot in the winter, with Cass' locomotive #6 operating in a light snowfall. This engine was built in 1929; the Heisler locomotive is one of the three major types of geared steam locomotives and the last to be patented. The engine is shown moving its tender and a caboose.  

West Virginia Pulp &amp; Paper Company (WVP&amp;P) built the sawmill, railroad and town at Cass. Its huge logging operation used Shay locomotives almost exclusively. Today the Cass Railroad owns eight Shay locomotives, one Heisler locomotive, and one Climax locomotive.

The Meadow River Lumber Company operated in Rainelle, West Virginia from 1906 to 1975, and was the largest hardwood sawmill in the world.

It was a round of the FIA World Rally Championship until 2019 and was also formerly a round of the MSA British Rally Championship. Up until 1997 it was known as the RAC Rally until adopting its current name in 2003 (except in 2009 when it was called the Rally of Great Britain).

This television feed shows the splashdown, attempted recovery and loss of the Mercury-Redstone 4's Liberty Bell 7 capsule. The loss occurred as a result of the accidental deployment of the capsule's hatch, which was equipped with an emergency explosive release system. Astronaut Virgil "Gus" Grissom was rescued without injury and flown to the aircraft carrier USS Randolph for evaluation. Commentary in the film is provided by Jules Bergman, ABC's science editor, as well as correspondent Robert Lodge. 

Mercury-Redstone 4 was the second United States human spaceflight, on July 21, 1961. The flight was suborbital and lasted 15 minutes 30 seconds, reached an altitude of more than 102.8 nautical miles (190.4 km), and flew 262.5 nautical miles (486.2 km) downrange, landing in the Atlantic Ocean. The capsule was recovered in 1999. Grissom later flew in Gemini III, and then tragically died in the Apollo 1 fire in 1967.

Part One: https://youtu.be/Sx9YhjiXdQg

This black and white, mono-sound fictional film is the second half of “One Way Ticket to Hell”, a drug addiction scare film that was apparently first released in late 1955 under the title "Teenage Devil Dolls".  It was made on a shoestring budget of $4000. The storyline spans from 1949-1952 and portrays a young girl named Cassandra Lee, who makes friends with the wrong crowd and becomes addicted to drugs. And as the story proceeds, she is caught in a downward spiral of addiction and crime. The film is directed, written, edited, and presented by B. Lawrence Price, Jr. (aka Bamlet Lawrence Price Jr. ) with photography by William R. Lieb and S. David Saxon, and is narrated by Kurt Martell. One critic described the film as "an obscure, anti-drug, anti-juvenile delinquent anti-rebellion morality story, all told in not-so-glorious Dragnet style narration".

Part two begins with Cassandra walking through town during her probation period (00:08). She notices a woman, named Margo Rossi, in an alley suffering from narcotic withdrawal, and she tends to her (00:53). Margo and Cassandra are selling marijuana to a man on a street corner (02:02). Cassandra sells marijuana to another man (02:46) Drug dealer, Sven Bergman arrives in a car, and he attacks Cassandra (03:07).

WARNING: This film has numerous scenes of rats crawling everywhere, which may be triggering for those who have musophobia. 

This bizarre educational film "Rat Attack" vividly shows the effects of a rodent infestation, and describes how an infestation is caused, as well as delving into the history of rats and humans. It also offers solutions for how to keep rats out of your home or apartment. The film was made by  Ucom Educational Inc., which specialized in films for schools and industrial and medical training programs.

The film starts with rats crawling on the floor of a man’s bedroom at 0:50. Then, it jump cuts (our print has damage) to police cars, and the man who says “there’s rats in here!” then, shows a fire in the man’s apartment -- apparently caused by something the man did to try to kill the rats. The man is seen being carted into an ambulance at 1:47. Police investigate the incident and the neighbors are seen talking about it at 2:05. An old man is then shown who appears to be the narrator of the film at 2:03. The man says “rats kill more people than all the wars in history” at 2:41. A man is shown being bitten by a rat and blood drips from his finger at 3:03. This scene may be graphic for viewers. A rat is filmed eating leftovers of a sandwich at 3:42. At 4:09 a rat is shown drinking water. A broken glass window is shown and the narrator says buildings with holes and openings give rats a nice warm place to live and have babies at 4:32. The narrator then says “rats have 12 babies every 8 weeks” at 4:42. Rat droppings are shown at 5:07. Rat teeth inside a live rat are shown at 5:30. Rat tracks are shown at 5:44.

Produced by Richard Wayman and narrated by Wayne Byers, "Signal 30" is one of the most notorious driver's education films ever produced. The title of the film is derived from a police code, referring to a fatal traffic accident. The film is comprised of actual, often gruesome footage taken immediately after the automobile accidents had occurred. The hope was that young drivers who saw the film, would literally be scared into taking a more cautious approach to driving. The film was made by the Highway Safety Foundation of Mansfield, Ohio. 

The film opens with the Ohio State Patrol logo (:06). The scene shows a car accident as a man hangs out from the passenger door (:24). A note informs viewers that the scenes captured are not staged though they had been filmed under adverse conditions (:48). A state highway patrol officer answers a call (1:08) over an accident resulting in two deaths. The officer calls for backup (1:35). The film is presented by the State Highway Patrol (1:59). It is narrated by Wayne C. Byers (2:22) who informs viewers the meaning of the code ‘Signal 30’ (2:25). Ohio’s winter landscape is pictured in the background as the police car arrives on scene (2:49). The first accident involves a double ‘signal 30’ (2:53). A truck moving cattle down the expressway collided with a passenger car of seven (3:09). The passenger car is pictured smashed (3:24). The passenger car driver ignored a stop sign (3:45) causing the accident. The same area where the accident had occurred is filmed (3:58) as cars fly past the stop sign (4:01). State highway patrolmen (4:18) work with model cars to demonstrate an accident. Patrolmen undergo physical trainings (4:30).  A patrolman conducts checks on veh...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ed4c2aba-883b-4ea4-972b-6ff8550d01ac/cd263ae3-de90-4cdf-b106-a7930922bbc6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vixDorDgJJir3Pex6WUmiA</video:player_loc><video:duration>1664</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T19:38:41.357Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qR8FjY8DfqKgNMmi49nrRi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e1d000d1-565f-4e86-a240-d6f90814d1d1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" RURAL RAT CONTROL " 1951 CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL EDUCATIONAL FILM FOR FARMERS  XD52724</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

“Rural Rat Control” is a 1951 educational film about rat control in farming areas presented by the U.S. Federal Security Agency Public Health Service and the Communicable Disease Center, also known today as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). According to the film, farmers who “feed the rats” will face economic downturns and be threatened with rat-borne diseases. To counter this, farmers must understand the conditions rats seek out and how to cut off their food and water supplies. A corn crib built on or near the grown (1:13) and wooden feed bins (1:32) provide food for rats. Harborage for rats includes stacks of hay (1:59), chicken houses (2:09), and hog feeding areas (2:38), the latter two of which they also steal food and water. A farmhouse’s basement room can also be a center for rats if they have easy ways of entering (2:59). Food waste (3:09) and piles of lumber (3:16) must also be controlled. Adding two feet tall stands to corn cribs with metal sheets prevents rats from chewing through and accessing the corn and (3:49). Metal sheets must also be added to the edges of feed bins to prevent gnawing (4:11). The chicken house can be rat-proofed by adding a concrete floor and eliminating the harborage on the walls (4:44). The hog feeding area should be concreted and uneaten food should be removed every day (5:03). Good housekeeping can help storage areas: food should be placed on shelves, doors should be covered with sheet metal, and wood should be stored 18 in. off the floor (5:25). A raised platform for trash bins with tight fitting lids can help prevent rats from eating through the garbage (6:08). Final disposal of all waste can be disposed of in a 3 ft. deep and...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c937811c-4424-4af7-92d7-d925729c4b97/297f27ce-853b-4b2a-be8e-2a8e234b62f3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qR8FjY8DfqKgNMmi49nrRi</video:player_loc><video:duration>967</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T19:38:33.776Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tRTh2zPcLRGDxaeHRV5S2D</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/22e4f71d-ca9f-4784-8694-df196c84a35a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ARMIES OF THE WORLD – THE SOVIET ARMY – ARMOR” 1955 SOVIET T-34 TANKS AND ARMORED VEHICLES XD61374</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This black and white Cold War era indoctrination war film titled “The Soviet Army / Armor” was produced in 1955 by the United States War Office as part of two larger series, "Armies of the World" and a subseries "The Soviet Army", both of which provided Army and reserve units a more holistic picture of the Soviet Union’s capabilities and tactics. The film provides an overview of the Soviet Union’s armored vehicle divisions, and starts with a brief history of Soviet armor production from the 1930’s to 1945. Using both Soviet and German training footage, the film mainly focuses on the Soviet flagship tank, the T-34, outlining its strengths, weaknesses, and its role in Soviet tactics. The film concludes with a brief description of the Soviet armored vehicles showcased in the Moscow Victory Parade of 1945, featuring the new Soviet JS-3/IS-3 tanks.

This fascinating captured German silent film — originally released by the Ordnance Department of the U.S. Army and then subsequently released for the home market by World in Color Productions — shows launches and launch failures of the German V-2 rocket, also known as the A-4. Some of the scenes include shots of Heinrich Himmler seen visiting the V-2 launch site at the (:30) mark. At (:50), a V-2 sits on a launch pad surrounded by support equipment with cables leading to a portable blockhouse or control van (1:00).  At (1:30) the rocket is readied for launch and successfully leaves the pad. Two other successful launches are shown. At (2:52), a series of launch failures are shown. At (3:08) a launch takes place that ends due to a guidance failure.  The crater the rocket made is seen at the 3:20 mark. A group of German officers survey the wreckage of a Heinkel aircraft that was destroyed in the accident. At (3:55) another successful launch is seen. At (4:30) another launch takes place that ends due to a guidance failure. At (4:53) another impact crater is studied. Wernher von Braun can be seen in the center of the image (5:25), he is the man dressed in a suit. At (5:46), 
another launch failure is seen, with the rocket going out of control and crashing spectacularly very close to the launch facility. The huge crater it leaves is shown at (6:35). A little bit closer and America might not have ever had the chance to capture von Braun or use his considerable intellect and knowledge to get to the moon...  At (6:50), a V-2 explodes on the launch pad in a catastrophic failure. Firefighters bring the conflagration under control, and the warhead (seen at 7:27) did not detonate.

This is an episode of the television show "True Adventure" hosted by actor Bill Burrud. Burrud narrates the story of how two Yosemite Park Rangers scaled the Eichorn Pinnacle. This feature is an impressive 50-foot needle that comprises Cathedral Peak's west summit.

Burrud describes the Sierra Nevada as a rock climber’s heaven: it has about a dozen peaks that anyone can climb. (1:06). He then proceeds to discuss the Eichorn, and how dangerous it is, even for experienced climbers (1:12). Here, he shows his viewers the two National Park Rangers that we follow throughout the film, John Merryman and Morrie Conrad. Burrud claims that even mountains ten times higher, do not pose more challenge to a skilled climber than the Eichorn (1:45). Burrud begins the next section of the film with an introduction to Yosemite. At 3:13, Burrud states that “your rope is your lifeline” he also mentions the importance of pitons. Burrud tells the viewers that the Eichorn’s Pinnacle is in the Cathedral Range, which divides “the upper basin of the Merced River from that of the Toulumne” (4:56). The trek to the base of Eichorn is relatively easy. Eichorn Pinnacle is actually below and to the west of Cathedral Peak, which is just shy of 11,000 feet. Cathedral Range was first summited in 1869, but it was not until July 1931 that people made it to the top of Eichorn (6:21-23). At (7:00), the two expert climbers begin their ascent. Burrud explains the Sierra Club’s mountain climbing classification system, a system based not on difficulty of the mountain or peak, but rather on what a competent party will need (7:28-37). Eichorn’s Pinnacle is usually considered a class 4 ascent (8:03). However, the two climbers chose...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d9e9bb9d-42c1-4fb5-b50c-bf78b550f01c/3ca59433-3b1d-4e34-a5c9-d41668e131e7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sUHinepHKCPE7Nmzohydum</video:player_loc><video:duration>1591</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T19:48:19.721Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aRwriNiBrCvek44Tf9vmbh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/27a215af-b9e0-4462-9649-2d86df1567a4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1967 “CANADIAN AMERICAN CHALLENGE CUP" TIMES GRAND PRIX  CAN-AM SERIES  RIVERSIDE RACEWAY   XD60684</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This promotional film covers the 5th round of the Can-Am Challenge Cup / L.A. Times Grand Prix on the Riverside Racetrack in California on October 29th, 1967. Christopher Constantine Economaki was the commentator and reporter throughout the 62-lap 200-mile event. The film was written and produced by John Toutkaldjian and narrated by Les Keiter with sound by Taylor Braendel.  The Los Angeles Times Grand Prix was a sports car race held at the Riverside International Raceway from 1957 until 1987. During the early 1970s, the event was the season ending race for the Can-Am series. The race was sponsored by the Times to raise money for its charities.

This color travelogue-style film from the mid-1950s is presented by Northwest Orient Airlines as both an advert for the airline’s services and perhaps, propaganda material, promoting democratic ideals in post-World War II Asia. The film takes the viewer around the island nation of the Philippines highlighting both the traditional handicrafts and ways of life in various towns and cities as well as the country’s modern marvels of new post-war buildings and mechanized industries. The narrator often emphasizes the great sacrifice of the Filipino people during World War II and their strong dedication to democratic ideals and modernization.

To test designs of new Apollo spacesuits, a large, neutral buoyancy water tank was employed. This (somewhat water damaged) film shows SCUBA divers in the tank,  assisting a test subject in a spacesuit, negotiating a metal grid. The baseline of this test (for comparison) can be seen at https://youtu.be/BukwRH7KArs Interestingly, the Skylab space station's floors, ceilings, and work stations had a somewhat similar metal grid to what is shown here. Shoes with metal cleats were worn by astronauts. The cleats could be inserted into the triangle grid and the heels were rotated to lock the cleats to the grid for stability; rotating in the other direction freed the cleats from the grid.

The suit shown in use is probably an SPD-143 model, one of the first prototype spacesuits submitted by the International Latex Corporation to NASA. This model was part of the 1962 Apollo program suit competition. NASA called the suit an AX1-L (the designation "A" for the Apollo program, X for experimental, 1 for first in a series, and L for manufacturer ILC) or the "Modified Training and Evaluation Suit". The suit's peculiar look, with joints and connectors forming an exoskeleton, was to allow an assessment of these parts. Twenty SPD-143 suits were made for training and assessment, and used for early evaluations of the Lunar Excursion Module (later changed to Lunar Module) and the Command Module. Note that the  helmet shown lacks an eye protection sun visor.

Dating to 1947, this silent film contains footage of transit and passenger buses in Southern California. Buses seen in the film include Santa Fe Railroad livery (:33), Greyhound (10:43), Pacific Electric (12:22), Los Angeles Railway (13;13 -- note the trolley cars at the crossing!), and at (11:35) the Santa Monica Bus Lines (here seen operating on Pico Blvd near The Mint nightclub). It's not entirely clear what the purpose of this film was -- possibly it was used for driver training, or as a tool to confirm that drivers were complying with speed limits. (Note that the top portion of the screen has a speedometer which indicates the speed of the chase car.)

This silent NASA footage shows performance or assembly tests conducted in a weightless environment aboard a "Vomit Comet" test aircraft. The exact nature of the tests shown here are unknown.

Starting in 1957, the U.S. Air Force began to use planes to simulate weightlessness, by making roller-coaster-like maneuvers. By 1973, NASA took over the Reduced Gravity Program.  NASA used many different types of aircraft for these tests, including a Convair C-131 Samaritan (this footage was likely shot aboard that plane). NASA also used two KC-135 Stratotankers were used until 2004. The parabolic zero-g maneuvers provides astronauts with about 25 seconds of weightlessness out of 65 seconds of flight in each parabola. During such training, the airplane typically flies about 40–60 parabolic maneuvers.

Different levels of the competition are shown including rubber band powered planes, and radio controlled model aircraft. The event was sponsored by KDKA radio, and many participants assembled a KDKA Racer kit as part of the contest. The Pittsburgh Aeromodelers club can also be seen throughout the film. In 1967, the national championship was held in Los Alamitos, California.

Originally known as the American Academy for Model Aeronautics (AAMA), the group was founded in 1936 with the goal of creating a self-governing body of aeromodeling experts to provide guidance to model builders. The AMA was originally part of the National Aeronautic Association, but became independent in 1966, a year before this film was shot.

This 1960s instructional film released by Castle Films for the home market, demonstrates various camera tricks performed by “Wee Gee,” or “Weegee,” the pseudonym of Arthur Fellig, a famed photographer and cinematographer who worked in Manhattan and New York City’s Lower East Side. Wee Gee worked as a press photographer, but also experimented with different lenses and camera angles to produce effects that distorted images. The black-and-white film begins by focusing on Wee Gee’s torso (a cigar is visible in the lower corner of his mouth) as he screws a kaleidoscope lens into a 1940s camera on a tripod (0:34). A busy New York City street is shown with people walking. Signs for Coca Cola and the Mayfair Hotel are visible in the background (0:36). The image distorts into a 4-way kaleidoscopic view. A man and woman kiss outside on a bench while Wee Gee takes a photo using a right-angle prism. Then the “compact/stretch” car trick is shown: Wee Gee holds a makeup compact with mirror in front of the camera (1:23). A split screen shows cars driving down the streets of New York (1:33) and then over the George Washington Bridge (1:47). The screen spins and splits into a 4-way distorted kaleidoscopic view, with cars coming from every angle. The “stretch cars” trick is shown: One driver’s car bumps the fender of the other. The male driver of the car that was hit jumps out and gestures to the other female driver, but his car, under Wee Gee’s lens, is squished to become a “compact” car that fits into the parallel parking spot (2:30). The female driver puts her high heel-clad foot on the rear bumper of the car, and then it is “stretched” to become longer than the space (2:47). After that, the “double...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c32af2e9-3a30-4c21-8e02-bfeee9102f62/2ee91a0e-13f7-4378-987d-300ad3fa6f0f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/q6NU7iyGGwNFSgauuJ5vQN</video:player_loc><video:duration>505</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T20:19:55.249Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4yVd4K9CGD1YkDgY9o9Fmk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/62f6ae66-7a86-4a92-91fd-d90b8a4ff278.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ CZECHOSLOVAKIA ” 1972 PAN AM AIRLINES TRAVELOGUE / PROMO FILM  PRAGUE    XD60654</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This promotional film presented by Pan American Airways System, PAA, portrays attractions and landscapes of the former country of Czechoslovakia. The film was produced by Film Services London LTD. in 1972, when the Cold War was still raging. Perhaps this explains why the film avoids shots of everyday life or even many shots of the people of the nation of Czechoslovakia, and instead focuses on scenery. The film was photographed by Arthur Wooster with camera assistant Michael Evans. Shirley Cobham directed the film, and Michael Gascoyne was editor. In December of 1992, the country dissolved into two new states: The Czech Republic and Slovakia. 

The film begins with footage of mountains and valleys (00:10) and a small village depicting the simple life of a farmer (00:49), where horses are used to plow cornfields (01:11). A graveyard with crosses (01:54), and a great castle (02:32). An orchestra plays music dressed in authentic historical costumes (02:42) as part of an organized pageant imitating medieval times (02:50). Buildings were made of almost completely stone, including walls, floors, and seating (03:02). Men dressed up as knights duel to win a medal (03:41). The Vltava River winds through the town of Cesky Krumlov, which has remained nearly unchanged since the 16th century (04:54). The renaissance-period castle; Cesky Krumlov Castle evolving from a Gothic architectural style to Baroque (05:32). The town of Carlsbad was named by Emperor Charles IV, king of Bohemia, in the 14th century (06:09). In the 19th century an elaborate plumbing system was devised when Carlsbad was a popular destination for among others King Edward VII and The German Emperor Wilhelm II (06:17). The rich land...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1ce401d9-3a5b-4c38-bac7-22755e3f4137/9599beae-3e20-47be-8518-9e06fe470f51-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4yVd4K9CGD1YkDgY9o9Fmk</video:player_loc><video:duration>832</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T20:20:38.920Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/krr8c8Qk1duqDtkH2zoUzV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/35c39248-8288-4278-91cd-92b5ae198b11.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA APOLLO SPACESUIT MOBILITY TESTING   NEUTRAL BUOYANCY WATER TANK  w/ BOOT STABILIZER XD47514</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

To test designs of new Apollo spacesuits, as well as affiliated equipment, a large neutral buoyancy water tank was employed. This film shows SCUBA divers in the tank wearing Aqua Lungs,  assisting a test subject in a spacesuit, who is attempting to perform simulated assembly tasks. It's unclear exactly what the precise nature of the task was, but it appears that a key part of the test was to see if the subject's feet could be stabilized in a piece of hardware (visible at 7:48). The suit shown is probably either a Mercury Program / Navy Mark IV model or an SPD-143 model. (The suit's peculiar look, with joints and connectors forming an exoskeleton, was to allow an assessment of these parts.)

“Batting Fundamentals” is an instructional film from 1946 that educates the viewer on the fundamental techniques for best batting practices in baseball. Produced by Coronet Instructional Films in conjunction with educational collaborator James Smilgoff of the Chicago Cubs Training Camp and Baseball Coach for Chicago Public Schools, the film is part of a larger series called "Baseball Skills Series." The film features footage from a game at Wrigley Field as well as from baseball practices and is organized by the different skills that the film is speaking about from bat selection to stance to bunting. Coronet Films was a leading producer and distributor of many American documentary shorts shown in public schools, mostly in the 16mm format, from the 1940s through the 1980s. The timing of this film is important because baseball suffered during World War II. Many of Major League Baseball’s (MLB) star players were drafted into the war and were absent from games and few people had the spare money to spend on an afternoon game. 1946 marked the beginning of a new and fertile age in baseball that would last for the rest of the decade. Perhaps this film was made to help bolster the post-war return of baseball and peak the interest of fresh talent.

Shot in 1963, this silent film shows a spacesuit dexterity or mobility test. The test subject performs a repeated task using a socket wrench. It's not exactly clear what type of spacesuit was being tested, but it most likely was Mercury space suit or Navy Mark IV. This was a full-body, high-altitude pressure suit originally developed by the B.F. Goodrich Company and the U.S. Navy for pilots of high-altitude fighter aircraft. It is best known for its role as the spacesuit worn by the astronauts of the Project Mercury space flights.

At least one of the slates shown is marked "Woodbury", which may indicate that these tests were conducted at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, located on Woodbury Road in Altadena, California.

This reel of silent footage was provided by NASA for use by the news media. It shows highlights of Project Gemini, with special emphasis on the Gemini XI and XII missions. 

Gemini 11 flew from September 12 to 15, 1966 with astronauts Charles "Pete" Conrad Jr. and Richard F. Gordon Jr.. The two performed the first direct-ascent (first orbit) rendezvous with an Agena Target Vehicle. They also used the Agena rocket engine to achieve a record high-apogee Earth orbit; and created a small amount of artificial gravity by spinning the two spacecraft connected by a tether. Gordon also performed two extra-vehicular activities for a total of 2 hours 41 minutes.

Gemini XII was the final mission in the Gemini series, and took place in 1966. Commanded by Gemini VII veteran James A. Lovell, the flight featured three periods of extravehicular activity (EVA) by rookie Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, lasting a total of 5 hours and 30 minutes. It also achieved the fifth rendezvous and fourth docking with an Agena target vehicle.

Highlights include: 

:29 Gemini–Titan II, a modified Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), is towed to launch complex past a VW Beetle. 
:58 Gemini–Titan II on launch pad.
1:14 Astronauts make their way to the launch pad and are assisted into the capsule by McDonnell employees.
2:04 Liftoff of the Gemini–Titan II.
2:11 Brief shot of Mission Control.

This film shows mobility tests for one of the first prototype spacesuits submitted by the International Latex Corporation (best known for their Platex bra brand) to NASA. A clock on the wall shows the time it takes the test subject to don the suit (approx. 20 minutes) and perform a variety of mobility demonstrations. At 30:50, an unfinished wooden frame is used to show how an astronaut might move through a corridor or hatch.  

The SPD-143 model was part of the 1962 Apollo program suit competition. NASA called the suit an AX1-L (the designation "A" for the Apollo program, X for experimental, 1 for first in a series, and L for manufacturer ILC) or the "Modified Training and Evaluation Suit". The suit's peculiar look, with joints and connectors forming an exoskeleton, was to allow an assessment of these parts. Twenty SPD-143 suits were made for training and assessment, and used for early evaluations of the Lunar Excursion Module (later changed to Lunar Module) and the Command Module. Note that the  helmet shown lacks an eye protection sun visor. Vic Vykukal was the principal investigator of the AX space suit series. (Astute viewers may note the similarity between this suit and those used in 2001: A Space Odyssey.)

This U.S. Army film documents the mission and challenges faced by “Task Force Frigid” in 1947. Task Force Frigid was conducted around the Tanana River near Fairbanks, Alaska during the sub-zero temperature winter. This Cold War exercise was intended to learn about how the Army could fight in the frigid north, with the implicit threat being the Soviet Union. The commander in charge was Col. Paul V. Kane. Frigid pushed men and machines to their limits, and it was discovered during the tests that some forms of ammunition were unreliable at low temperature, vehicles could not be restarted, and even that weapon triggers might have to be modified due to the fact that firing with mittens was difficult. 

Main title (00:14). A flag that reads “FRIGID” is centered on a map. Clips of the Tanana River and the task force members (00:47). Bulldozers clear out snow and trees to prepare for an ice bridge (1:07). Crewmembers saw lodges carried by cranes as they built the bridge (01:38). Pershing tanks cross the ice using the bridge (02:14). Tanks tow heavy weapons for the task force (03:24). The crewmembers are shown dressed in heavy outerwear to protect them from the cold (03:32). They enter an airplane for a parachute drop (03:52). They jump from the plane and land on the snow-filled grounds (04:10). With “Bear Claw” snowshoes, they walk through the deep snow (04:49). A Fairchild C-82 Packet is used by the task force for an artillery drop (05:17). The men struggle with walking through the snow (05:49). They test-fire weapons (05:57). A C-82 delivers a Bell 47 helicopter, tail 6229, to be unloaded by crewmembers (06:06). Two men fly the aircraft (06:43). A test of mobility is executed by the crew ma...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7e7e0de4-4471-4cfb-b534-71d952d6cd47/20e66afc-48a7-4c3e-a962-543650554ec5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gBX5t4Vqw4Fr2RGqhJEXFD</video:player_loc><video:duration>1689</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T20:43:51.461Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7w2CWnT1mKJg9ZRsq35x33</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ea3fdecd-4d62-4c9e-adf7-7658c64144e1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA APOLLO PROGRAM  SPACE SUIT MOBILITY TESTS W/ WEIGHT OFFSETTING GANTRY  XD47574</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dating to the early Apollo Program era, this silent film shows mobility tests conducted with a subject in a pressure suit. It's not clear which space suit design is shown; although it appears similar to those used in Project Mercury, it could also be a similar, modified version of the Goodrich U.S. Navy Mark IV high altitude jet aircraft pressure suit. A plastic adapter surrounds the middle of the suit, allowing the astronaut to be strapped into a weighted support gantry that can help simulate weightlessness. The tests shown, which must have been grueling for the subject due to body position, included use of tools and a simulated repair. 

At 5:37, footholds are shown which could have been used in a zero gravity environment. At 6:22, the "astronaut" plugs in a cable to the simulated spacecraft. 

At 10:25, the subject is shown on a harness, attempting to perform another simulated repair or task, which involves using a socket wrench (which is on a rope). 

At 21:16, a wider shot of actions shown at the start of the film, with the subject standing vertically.

Made by filmmaker Harry D. Blanchard during WWII, this recently re-discovered, elegantly made silent film "The Grange" celebrates the seasons, the lives of the farming community, and a way of life. The film features poetic title cards throughout. Notably, it shows the planting of Victory Gardens as part of the war effort, and a war bonds float sponsored by the local East Hartford Grange.  (The Grange, a national organization, was founded in 1867 to help both southern and northern farmers recover from the ravages of the Civil War.)

The film begins with shots of Springtime on a farm (:21), with flowers in bloom. At 3:27, orchards are shown in bloom. At 4:43, a team of plow horses is shown in action. At 5:06, a green John Deere tractor -- probably a John Deere Model L is shown in action. (The Model L was a small one-plow row-crop tractor produced by Deere from 1937 to 1946.)  At 5:17, the plow horses work the field. At 5:32, a red tractor is shown in the fields. At 5:50, a farm hand examines the freshly tilled soil. At 5:57, a John Deere planter or sower is shown.

This silent film from NASA shows subjects in a neutral buoyancy pool, simulating activities in space. At 2:50, a subject walks up a ramp. At 3:55, the person walks up a ramp and is entirely inverted in the pool. Tests such as this one were used to test internal and external structures for spacecraft and the Skylab space station. Notably, Skylab had a filing cabinet arrangement somewhat similar to what is shown here, permitting astronauts to walk (and run) in a vertical loop. Film roll marked "LARA", we're not sure what that might stand for.

This British film promotes the Rank Xerox 800 Electronic Typing System, which was introduced on October 7, 1974 and targeted at large corporate clients. The 800 was an early word processor, and the first ever launched by Xerox. It used magnetic cards and/or magnetic tape storage, which was a somewhat awkward solution to the memory problem. At the time of its release,  the 800 was considered a major product development in the emerging "word processing" and office productivity class. It boasted an impressive operating speed of 350 words per minute, twice the speed of competitive systems already on the market (notably the IBM Mag Card II). It was also the first system to provide a wide selection of interchangeable typeface print wheels. However, the 800 was not a great success, in part because it was not sold as a standalone machine. Instead, the machines were only available on a leased basis, typically as part of a much larger system. 

Rank Xerox was a joint venture between the Xerox Corporation of United States and the UK's Rank Organisation, to manufacture and market Xerox equipment in Europe (and later in Africa and Asia). 

The film was created not just to introduce the Xerox 800, but to educate viewers about the concept of word processing -- and the new workflow that it provides which is much more efficient. The film begins with a look at office work in the 20th Century, with shots of a secretary using a series of typewriters (1:00) from manuals to more modern electric typewriters including an IBM Selectric (1:25). The narration focuses on how an executive works with his secretary to achieve productivity, through dictation, document preparation, markup, etc. Turnaround time is ver...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b153225d-c3c4-43d0-87b6-4a2ba4f975d3/3ed2a12c-9b90-4a0b-be09-5d3b64fa1b25-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nU1TqhCeMFeVVXGj5vAWVr</video:player_loc><video:duration>644</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T20:49:04.589Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kbn8p2xZ9SasApR71nKaas</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6998133d-7e9b-47d3-9390-89593f216dbf.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE WILDEST RIDE" 1964 BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS   LAND SPEED RECORD w/ CRAIG BREEDLOVE    XD65944</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This short documentary film from the early 1980s titled “Ethiopia: Parched Land and Promises” acts as both promotional and awareness material for Unicef’s work in Ethiopia as well as warning signs of another mass scale drought and famine. The film features scenes of Ethiopian mothers and children joyously celebrating and suffering from the consequences of drought. Co-produced by Unicef and Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation NRK, this film highlights Unicef’s main programming goals of providing drinking water, feeding children, and developing primary health care practices around Ethiopia. Narrated by Norman Rose, the film details the Ethiopian famine of 1973-1974 and the undertakings the country has carried out to better respond to such a disaster and also details what seem to be the symptoms of the next major crisis Ethiopia would face with the 1983-1985 famine. Unicef has been present in Ethiopia since 1952 and officials began to frequently visit the country to deliver medical supplies and organize vaccinations of children. In 1958, Unicef established its first office in Addis Ababa and in 1963 signed a formal Basic Cooperation Agreement (BCA) with the Government.

This mid-1940s episode of a black and white newsreel style film series titled “Woman Speaks” highlights the post-war careers of women across industries such as figure skating, gemology, illustration and cartooning, as well as fashion. With the end of World War II in 1945, veterans were returning home and women laborers were being let go from their war-time jobs. At the same time, magazines and newspapers targeted these women and invited them to become post-war consumers which coincided with the national expansion of television in 1946. Chicago-based film producer H.A. Spanuth, who made his living distributing vaudeville performances, was one of the first postwar film-makers to take advantage of television to address women. From 1945-1949, he broadcasted this combination newsreel show "Woman Speaks". It aired on television in the early era of broadcasting.

Presented by Cathedral Films and directed by Runi Johansson, this promotional film from 1960 titled “Savage Flame” is a Christian film that aims to encourage the spread of Christianity and praise the work of Christian missionaries in the “continent of contrasts” or Latin America. The film highlights the work of various missionaries from doctors, to educators, to pastors and their efforts to spread the Gospel and offer education and medical help to remote villages in Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. The film contains rare footage of missionary doctors treating patients infected with the then-fatal skin disease fogo selvagem, an autoimmune disease more commonly known as "Savage Fire." The film also showcases South American industry such as latex production, and documents native traditions as harmless as barbasco root fishing, and as dangerous as an attempted human sacrifice by a witch doctor.

Dating to November of 1969, this silent NASA film is divided into several sections. The first is titled "Bicycle Ergometer Restraints".  The film shows an exercycle being tested in a weightless environment aboard a research aircraft. (An ergometer is, in this case, a bicycle fitted with mechanical work measurement devices is also an ergometer.)  The tests were doubtless intended to discover what the best restraint system would be, that would permit an astronaut to exercise on a bike in space. A bicycle ergometer of similar design flew on the Skylab space station.

The second section is titled "Coronagraph and ATM Contamination" (8:30). A coronograph is shown -- this is a telescope, fitted with an attachment that blocks out direct rays from the sun, used to study and photograph the corona of the sun. The type shown was used during Skylab to assess contamination in the vicinity of the craft. The data were used to determine the effect of that scattering on the various optical instruments on the Apollo Telescope Mount (ATM) such as the white light coronagraph. 

The third section, "Apollo Fecal Collection System" (22:40) shows tests of a zero gravity toilet similar to that used aboard the Command Module (known as the fecal-collection assembly (FCA)). To operate this unit, plastic bags and a vacuum type machine were utilized (25:14). A germicide was also used during Apollo. The germicide would be kneaded into the movement, so as to prevent the build-up of gases which might inflate the bag and cause it to open. By killing the bacteria, it would render the potential poo-bomb inert.  One of the most difficult aspects of space toilets has always been the separation, in a weightless environment. The Apollo era plastic bag came with a “finger cot” (like a condom for the finger) to help move waste into the bag. The bag was never po...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6d57a360-a23b-4888-a4f0-6476f99b9027/4b53f9ea-899c-4069-b5b8-3b643237e07a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ev7Vw4wugZaqccxFJnfRpe</video:player_loc><video:duration>1915</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T21:10:26.140Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9FoeaZPg55ZfVPHZ2Ki1nj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8684ebd8-57e9-4e54-8fd1-8c6d9e2681c7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s LAS VEGAS STRIP NEON SIGNS &amp; HOTEL FACADES   MGM  DUNES  ALADDIN  STARDUST FLAMINGO  XD60574</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Produced by United Nations Television, this documentary shows refugees in Talbieh Camp in East Jordan in 1968 after the 1967 Six-Day War, also known as the Naksa, June War, 1967 Arab-Israeli War, or Third Arab-Israeli War, where tensions between Israel and Jordan/Syria/Egypt led to conflict and resulted in Israel occupying the Golan Heights, West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Sinai Peninsula. This was the third of three Arab-Israeli wars in 1948, 1956, and 1967. Palestinian Arab and Bedouin refugees, mainly women in hijabs, are shown huddled outside white tents (0:18). Talbieh was one of six emergency camps set up after the war, mostly filled with Bedouins. It still exists today. In the film, Izzat Nashashibi, a refugee and Area Officer from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA) explains the difficult camp conditions, referencing the similar conditions after the first 1948 Arab-Israeli War—no water and a hot, dusty environment. Refugees walk and wait in long lines throughout the camp (2:10). Khalil Bouheisi, an Arab refugee in Gaza, is interviewed with his children, and says they were afraid when the bombing started (3:01).

Shot by Wisconsin filmmaker Norman Schley, this film footage features shots from a horse racing day in 1962 at the Oaklawn Park Race Track in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The silent film pieces together various shots from in and around the race track as well as the stables where the horses are primed and groomed for race day. Oaklawn Park Race Track, which is known today as Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort, is an American thoroughbred racetrack and casino. It is home today to “The Racing Festival of the South,” a four-day series of races inaugurated in 1975 that concludes with the Arkansas Derby. Oaklawn park first opened in 1905 and the city declared a holiday to mark the occasion. Throughout the 1950s the track grew in popularity and in 1962, the year of this film, the track had the fifth-highest profit of North American tracks. The original clubhouse of the race track was designed by Chicago architect Zachary Taylor Davis in 1904, who is known for being the architect behind Chicago’s Old Comiskey Park and Wrigley Field. Thoroughbred horse racing was a sport enjoyed by all during the progressive era in the United States. Popularity, however, began to falter during the late 1890s as anti-gambling sentiment prevailed but this turned around in the early 20th century when parimutuel betting was introduced. As more state governments legalized on-track betting during the 20th century the sport became more and more popular. By the 1950s and 1960s more people attended horse races than any other sport.

This 1940s home movie shows the Original Muscle Beach in Santa Monica in the mid-to-late 1940s. In the mid-1930s, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) installed exercise equipment south of the Santa Monica Pier. The area soon attracted bodybuilders and hosted gymnastic and acrobatic exhibitions. A platform on the beach was also located nearby, with weight lifting equipment. Hollywood soon got into the act, promoting what had been simply a Santa Monica park as "Muscle Beach". Some of the personalities who worked out at Muscle Beach included the Vic Tanny, Jack LaLanne, and Joe Gold. The Original Muscle Beach closed in 1958, as a result of a scandal involving weightlifters and some underage girls.

This episode of the 1960s TV show "True Adventure" is provocatively entitled "Cannibal Kings of New Guinea”.  The episode follows the work of pastor Len Barnard, an Australian missionary who began working for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1933, operating primarily on the island of New Guinea. Barnard became a licensed pilot and brought medical care to remote areas, work that included contact with lepers. In the 1960s, Barnard co-founded Adventist Aviation which continues to operate a fleet of aircraft in the South Pacific Division. Barnard retired in the 1980s. Please note: this episode contains a great deal of condescending narration directed towards the "primitive" natives of New Guinea, that some viewers may find offensive.

This episode of "True Adventure", a TV program hosted by Bill Burrud, shows the first Kantuta expedition in 1955-56. This was led by Czech adventurer Eduard Ingris, who was inspired by the Kon-Tiki expeditions. Ingris attempted to cross the Pacific from Peru, on a raft made from balsa wood. The expedition ended in failure and almost cost the expedition team its lives. A second expedition was launched in 1959, and that raft the Kantuta II made a successful voyage from Peru to Polynesia. Eduard Ingriš enjoyed a long career as a Hollywood cameraman, and created documentaries about his own travels.

This 20-minute advertising presentation reel shows the highlights of Pan Am Airlines' "Pan Am Makes the Going Great" global ad campaign in 1969. Pan Am also had the famous tagline "The World's Most Experienced Airline," which is also mentioned in some of these ads. Some of the spots shown in rough or animatic form are by Henry 'Hank' Syverson, a cartoonist and illustrator, who contributed cartoons regularly to "The Saturday Evening Post" and many other magazines in this era. Print ads by Syverson are also shown. At the time these ads were made the Pan Am account was managed by J. Walter Thompson, and global in reach. This reel contains TV, radio, and print advertising samples and highlights the strategy behind the ads. The campaign features high production value print ads, and radio and TV commercials with catchy jingles, and even a direct mail campaign. The film includes a segment about Pan Am travel agents (17:30) booking travel on the computerized Panamac system (18:54). The film ends with a tease for the brand new, and super luxurious, Pan Am 747 jumbo jet, "the ship that's a plane". 

Pan American World Airways, known from its founding until 1950 as Pan American Airways and commonly known as Pan Am, was the principal and largest international air carrier in the United States from 1927 until its collapse on December 4, 1991. Founded in 1927 as a scheduled air mail and passenger service operating between Key West, Florida, and Havana, Cuba, the airline became a major company credited with many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, including the widespread use of jet aircraft, jumbo jets, and computerized reservation systems. It was also a founding member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global airline industry association.

To test designs of new Apollo spacesuits, and to understand the types of tasks that astronauts could perform in low or zero gravity, a large water tank was employed. This film shows SCUBA divers in the tank,  negotiating using handholds on a grid which is made up of hexagons. A somewhat similar open mesh hexagonal grid floor was used aboard Skylab. Note: Footage from a closer camera can be seen in this related film: https://youtu.be/cHT7Yz2roEw

In the film, the diver climbs across the grid and then removed and replaces a handle-like device. The grid shown is also demonstrated to support toeholds, enabling the diver to have the leverage to lift and emplace the handle-like device over and over again. At 8:17, a diver attempts to secure a large case or instrument package to the grid, using the handle to hold it in place. It does not work.

To test designs of new Apollo spacesuits, a large water tank was employed. This film shows SCUBA divers in the tank,  assisting a test subject in a spacesuit, who is attempting to perform simulated assembly tasks. It's unclear exactly what the precise nature of the task was, but it looks like connecting structural parts. 

The suit shown appears to be an SPD-143 model, one of the first prototype spacesuits submitted by the International Latex Corporation to NASA. This model was part of the 1962 Apollo program suit competition. NASA called the suit an AX1-L (the designation "A" for the Apollo program, X for experimental, 1 for first in a series, and L for manufacturer ILC) or the "Modified Training and Evaluation Suit". The suit's peculiar look, with joints and connectors forming an exoskeleton, was to allow an assessment of these parts. Twenty SPD-143 suits were made for training and assessment, and used for early evaluations of the Lunar Excursion Module (later changed to Lunar Module) and the Command Module. Note that the  helmet shown lacks an eye protection sun visor.

To test designs of new Apollo spacesuits, and to understand the types of tasks that astronauts could perform in low or zero gravity, a large water tank was employed. This film shows SCUBA divers in the tank,  negotiating using handholds on a grid which is made up of hexagons. A somewhat similar open mesh hexagonal grid floor was used aboard Skylab. Note: Footage from a farther camera can be seen in this related film https://youtu.be/sqeRacntt5w

In the film, the diver climbs across the grid and then removed and replaces a handle-like device. The grid shown is also demonstrated to support toeholds, enabling the diver to have the leverage to lift and emplace the handle-like device over and over again. At 8:17, a diver attempts to secure a large case or instrument package to the grid, using the handle to hold it in place. It does not work.

This silent footage from NASA's Apollo Program shows technicians from Grumman Aircraft working in what appears to be a mock-up of the Service Module. Men in hazardous materials suits are shown going through the process of venting and fueling Supercritical Helium tanks. Most likely this film was created to train technicians in the proper procedures for this process.

This silent film "A Trip Through a Modern Bottling Plant" was apparently sponsored by the New Process Cork Co. of Brooklyn, New York and was produced sometime between 1922-25. It was made by Seiden Films of New York. (Unconfirmed, but Seiden Films was probably owned by Joseph Seiden, a producer who specialized in making low budget, Yiddish dramas.) The New Process Co. appears to have gone out of business in 1925.due to a patent infringement suit regarding the bottling systems shown in the film, which the International Cork Company successfully claimed as proprietary. The film shows views of the Golden Dwarf Beverage Co. bottling plant, operated by Hyman Kirsch &amp; Company in Brooklyn, New York.  Golden Dwarf produced a celery flavored soda and a ginger ale, as well as a cream soda and possibly other flavors. The film also shows the bottling of NuGrape, a national brand first marketed in 1906. According to a website, Hyman Kirsch learned how to formulate soft drinks as a boy growing up in the Crimea. He eventually immigrated to England, then the United States in 1903, and started a business in 1904. Offices were eventually opened in two locations, 923 Flushing Ave. and 172 Cook St, and boomed after Prohibition took hold. The firm later became known as Kirsch Beverages, Inc, and gained a national reputation after Kirsch marketed some of the first sugar free sodas using sodium cyclamate.  

At :29, a Mrs Warren and her young son Billy visit the Brooklyn Industrial Exposition, probably in 1923, and sample drinks at the Golden Dwarf refreshment stand. At 2:22, the Hyman Kirsch &amp; Company distribution center is shown, with a truck carrying a giant replica bottle of Golden Dwarf ginger ale show...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5776e0a3-9560-4552-8e36-824b26e06b78/76a55eb7-e731-4f02-978c-65e1d327e399-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bNqMQ5QAFFrqWZ3BkNcCaE</video:player_loc><video:duration>865</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T21:51:56.252Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nWk9MoZ8NfPmMb9zRoj6Kg</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/580ef31c-85e8-4598-8173-3d0b537c50da.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA APOLLO PROGRAM  LUNAR TOPOGRAPHICAL SIMULATION AREA TV TEST FOOTAGE  LEM MOCK-UP  XD47274</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This badly water damaged, silent film was shot at the Manned Space Flight Center (MSC) Lunar Topographical Simulation Area, most likely after 1965. It features TV footage shot from a moving vehicle, possibly a prototype lunar rover, at the LTSA. Simulated moon craters are visible in the footage, and a full scale mockup of the Apollo Lunar Excursion Module is occasionally visible (for example at 00:12 and 11:15) as well.  It's not exactly clear what this film was intended to demonstrate, but it was marked "Compatibility test with TV Monitor on Simulated Lunar Terrain."  The Lunar Topographical Simulation Area was a rocky area where various components of the Apollo program could be tested by engineers and astronauts. This included the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package, the LEM and apparently some kind of prototype lunar rover.

This 1950’s era, black and white film was produced by the USAF Air Transport Command, to  illustrate the steps that need to be taken in case of a water landing of a passenger airplane. The aircraft shown is a Douglas C-54 Skymaster. The movie opens with the plane soaring through the air. We meet the crew, first the flight engineer. His job is to manage the four engines of the plane. Next, the radio operator enters and speaks with the flight engineer. He keeps the plane in touch with land bases by radio. On the plane we see the Flight Traffic Clerk who represents the first pilot for the observance of all safety regulations and cabin discipline 1:00. The pilot, the commander of the plane, aloft or afloat. Then the co-pilot and the navigator are seen 1:11. Co-pilot draws his pointer over a map 1:28. The ATC crew is being trained 1:38 in order to complete the training they need one more man: that man is the passenger 1:43. Passengers need to learn a few rules in case they have to “ditch” 1:52. Ditching means landing your airplane on the open water 2:04. Officers board the airplane 2:25. The passengers take their seats 2:46.

On the night of 25 September 1925 (and not 1933 as the narrator of the film states), the S-class submarine S-51 (SS-162) was operating on the surface near Block Island, Rhode Island with her running lights on. The merchant steamer City of Rome spotted a single white masthead light but were unable to determine its course, speed, or intentions. The ship altered her course away from the unknown light to give whatever it might be greater leeway. Meanwhile, S-51 spotted the ship's masthead and green sidelights, and held her course as she was required to do by the Rules of the Road then in effect. Shortly after altering course, City of Rome spotted the submarine's red sidelight and realized that they were on collision courses. She turned and backed her engines, but it was too late. Twenty-two minutes after first spotting the submarine's masthead light, the steamer rammed her. Only three of the 36 men in the submarine were able to abandon ship before she sank. The courts found City of Rome at fault for not reducing her speed when in doubt as to the movement of S-51, and for not signaling her change of course. However, both the district court and the Circuit Court of Appeals found S-51 at fault for having improper lights.

The United States Navy argued that it was not practicable to have submarines of this class comply with the letter of the law, and that, as a special type of warship, S-51 was under no legal compulsion to do so. The court responded by saying if these statements were correct, then submarines "should confine their operation to waters not being traversed by other ships."

Dating to the late 1930s or early 1940s and released by Sero-Crest and Pictoreels, this short, silent film "Chinook's Children" was produced by Milton J. Salzburg and Harold Baumstone.  The film shows off special Chinook sled dogs which were bred by Arthur Treadwell Walden. Walden was an explorer and author of some note, who also owned an inn in New Hampshire's White Mountains. Walden's Chinook breed were descendants of Polaris, Admiral Peary's Greenland husky lead dog, and a mastiff-type farm dog which produced a litter in 1917. The breed was named for a sled dog which Walden had employed in the Yukon, while working in the Klondike gold fields. 

Walden founded the New England Sled Dog Club in 1924, and in 1927 headed the "dog department" for Admiral Richard Byrd's Antarctic Expedition. Thirteen of Walden's dogs, including the lead dog named "Chinook" made the journey south.  During the expedition, Walden and his dogs moved thousands of pounds of supplies from the ship, over the 16 mile trail to base camp. Walden was eventually awarded the Congressional Medal for his work, as the dogs proved vitally important to Byrd's success. Chinook the dog however did not survive the journey, and reports of the celebrity dog's death were received with dismay worldwide. At Walden's request, Route 113A from Tamworth to Wonalancet, New Hampshire, now bears the name "Chinook Trail".

Dating to the early 1970s, these TV commercials from Mars promote the company's M&amp;Ms and 3 Muskteers products. The first commercial for peanut M&amp;Ms suggests that the hard shell chocolate candies prevent messes -- "melts in your mouth, not in your hand." The commercial uses a combination of live action and animation to get its point across, and uses a Mars "good guys" tag at the end. At :40, a group of kids are shown running towards a gigantic 3 Musketeers bar, with the tag line "It tastes this big." 

3 Musketeers is a candy bar consisting of chocolate-covered, fluffy, whipped mousse. It was the third brand produced and manufactured by M&amp;M/Mars, introduced in 1932.

This historic film shows rare footage of a television-guided, WWII drone aircraft and drone weapons being flown during training or tests. These were conducted as part of the development of a drone weapon which was built by Interstate Aircraft and known as the TDR-1, or Torpedo Drone. Tests were conducted over the Great Lakes by a special, highly classified U.S. Navy unit known as the Special Air Group, or STAGONE. Based in Traverse City, Michigan, the group flew a variety of experiments to develop attack techniques using drones as both stand-off weapons and for kamikaze attack. STAGONE was eventually deployed to the South Pacific, where they conducted attacks against Japanese positions using TDR-1s. The TDR-1 was designed to be recoverable and featured landing gear, and could make bomb or torpedo attacks. During actual combat missions however the drones were expended. 

At :31, chase plane radar scope is seen, identifying an abandoned lighthouse which was used as a practice target. At :47, a primitive TV signal is seen -- the TDR-1 utilized an iconoscope type camera which was mounted in its nose. The signal was recorded aboard a chase aircraft, probably an Avenger. A graphic at 1;27 shows a typical attack plan. At 2:35, what appears to be a drone aircraft (possibly a Beechcraft Model 18) is shown buzzing the lighthouse, as seen from a chase aircraft. At 3:50, the same type of run is seen recorded in the TV monitor of the chase aircraft. At 5:26, attack profiles are seen, with what appears to be a TDR-1 making a run on the light house. At 6:20, a bombing attack is shown made by a TDR-1. At 7:25, bombing attack as seen from a camera positioned at the water, against what appears to be a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ef1fb397-f38c-4cb9-9b8b-1c8700b2f6f6/2f513b16-834e-4a04-ac36-c5903a015285-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vwCi5MXZ2DZNWRE8KnWFsW</video:player_loc><video:duration>993</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T21:58:59.933Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/voLottPAm7eKJvDthZwftU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0c57758a-ba37-442c-b893-f24e33b12cfb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1952 "VICTORY AT SEA" TV SHOW   SPONSORSHIP TV COMMERCIAL  XD45064hh</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This Cold War-era propaganda film titled “Man And The FBM” was made by the US Navy Photographic Center in 1960. Narrated by American TV host and personality John Daly, highlights the U.S. Navy’s Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) submarines as well as the UGM-27 Polaris nuclear warhead missiles that were launched from them. In more technical terms, a ballistic missile submarine is a submarine capable of deploying submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) with nuclear warheads. The United States Navy's hull classification symbols for ballistic missile submarines are SSB and SSBN – the SS denotes submarine, the B denotes ballistic missile, and the N denotes that the submarine is nuclear powered. These submarines became a major weapon system in the Cold War because of their nuclear deterrence capability. The film coined the endeavor a “new conquest of inner space - the sea” where the new naval weapon linked the inner space of the sea with outer space. Throughout the 27 minute film, all elements of the new weapons program are discussed from inception to manufacture to testing and from recruitment to training to active duty for the volunteer servicemen. According to the film, which underscored the men that serviced these submarines, the FBM project required “a new kind of Navy man pioneering a new concept of sea power in the age of space.”

This short educational film from 1954 titled “Your Friend the Water: Clean - or - Dirty!” uses animation and live action clips to display the benefits of clean water and consequences of pollution and dirty water. Presented by Encyclopedia Britannica Films and produced by The Conservation Foundation, this film follows an animated water drop and a young boy on a journey as they travel through water pipes to the city reservoir and up a mountain to discover where water comes from. They learn the benefits of clean water to animals and the dangers of letting water become dirty from pollution. Encyclopædia Britannica Films (also named EB Films for short) was the top producer and distributor of educational 16mm films and later VHS video cassettes for schools and libraries from the 1940s through the 1990s (by which time the internet replaced video as a primary source for educational media).

This combat bulletin features disturbing footage not suitable for all viewers. This original film provides updates from warfronts during WWII. Historical moments featured include the British liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp as well as the execution of the Italian dictator, Mussolini in Milan. It is an Atrocity film (:09) of the Army Pictorial Service. The film opens with images from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp (:17) in northern Germany as bodies of the recently charred are pushed out from an over loaded cart (:21) by SS Guards. British troops found about 60,000 dead and nearly dead here as the camp’s liberation began in 1945 (:27). SS troops carry emaciated bodies to a shallow grave as witnesses yell (:35). A female SS officer moves past the camera (1:02) guided by gunpoint. A British Commandant delivers a speech over the radio (1:14).

This (silent) 1960 film shows an IBM 7070 mainframe computer system in operation, running program to calculate customer billing for a utility (e.g., gas or oil). 

Introduced in 1958, the Model 7070 was IBM’s first fully transistorized stored program computer.  It was part of the 700/7000 series.  It used a total of about 30,000 alloy-junction germanium transistors and 22,000 germanium diodes, on approximately 14,000 SMS cards.   “SMS” stands for “Standard Modular System.”   Each SMS card was a field-replaceable unit, designed for a specific logical operation.   Single width cards were just under 3 x 5 inches in size.  Double-width cards were also used.   It was a decimal-architecture intermediate data-processing system.   It used magnetic core memory, available with 5,000 to 9,900 words of core memory. The film shows an IBM data center 7070 installation with numerous magnetic tape drives, a card reader, the main operator’s console, printer and other devices.
 
Description: 00:02  “IBM Data Center sign.”

00:25  Wide angle view of the 7070 system and some of its peripherals.  A computer operator is sitting at the 7150 System Console, which provides manual control of the overall operation of computer and displays the content of the core-storage memory.

Shown are several IBM Model 729-II magnetic tape units.   Up to 40 individual 729 tape units could be attached to one IBM 7070 computer.  (The six foot tall cabinets seen at the far back of the room house the CPU, core memory and SMS circuit boards.)

The Case for Computers, produced in 1984, is a film about IBM Information System for Attorneys, its System/36 hardware and software and how it is changing the lives of lawyers in large law firms. It’s a story about diskettes, peripherals and programs, and includes shots of various IBM computers including the famed  Personal Computer (IBM 5150). The IBM Information System for Attorneys was a set of 19 application programs which typically executed on the IBM System/36 in an on-line and interactive environment.  The applications were a financial management system and client financial management system, and cost about $15,000 per license. According to literature published by IBM, the system "enables the lawyer to keep track of the work performed and disbursement made for clients, to bill clients on a timely basis and to collect the accounts promptly.  As a result, write-offs and the age of receivables can be reduced, therefore cash flow and income can be increased.  System addresses Clients and Matters; Time; Client/Matter Disbursements; Client/Matter Billing Preparation, Accounts Receivable; Trust Accounting Transactions; Client/Matter Inquiry; Client Management Reports.  The system prepares a draft bill from which a final bill can be typed onto the firm's letterhead or statement paper.  As an option, the firm can elect to use Client Statements which automatically prints final bills on the System/36 or on a Displaywriter. The IBM System/36 (S/36) was a midrange computer marketed by IBM from 1983 to 2000 - a multi-user, multi-tasking successor to the System/34. It was primarily programmed in the RPG II language. It had many mainframe features such as programmable job queues and schedulin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/320ae141-92ae-4e83-bbd4-0901a4c3d8a4/5e75778a-4944-4dc1-bb91-f5fb2f4e2521-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7bpH2VG4ShZgSQJuesycu1</video:player_loc><video:duration>863</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T22:33:01.532Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eXDWhdcFY6Uvf7sZEessSU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9451df6f-f7c4-4248-b803-e23afb61459e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“WORKMANSHIP MYTH” 1970s DOCUMENTARY FILM   AMERICAN VS FOREIGN CAR COMPANIES  AUTO WORKERS 66474</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This documentary film "The Workmanship Myth" was created by acclaimed journalist Martin Agronsky and produced by the Bill Sandy Company. It examines the comparative quality of workmanship in American car factories vs. foreign car manufacturers in the late 1970s. The film seems to date to between 1977 and 1979, a time when domestic car production was under threat by foreign cars, especially Japanese cars, which the public perceived as better quality products. Throughout his documentary report, Agronsky interviews various key figures who comment on the international market for manufactured products in the 1970s, especially cars. Interviewees include: Japanese business managers (3:00), a representative from the U.S. Department of Commerce (5:00), youth and auto workers (8:45, 13:35), and a General Motors executive (14:45). Footage of various 1970s vehicles parked and in motion and car assembly lines in the U.S. and elsewhere are a major component of the film, interspersed with the interviews.

This historic film about the compound microscope was produced in 1953 by Bausch and Lomb, one of the oldest operating companies in the USA, which held many patents for microscopes and binoculars and was an international supplier of great renown. Today it is best known as a eye health products company. 

A compound microscope is a microscope that uses multiple lenses to collect the light from the sample and then a separate set of lenses to focus that light for the viewer. It is heavier, larger, and costlier than a simple microscope, but it improves numerical aperture, reduced chromatic aberration, and offers adjustable magnification through interchangeable objective lenses.  Note: The film appears to focus on a KAJ Binocular Stereomicroscope, or a related model.

This film, called “Racing and Roadcraft”, was produced by Motor Cycling with Kinocrat Films probably in the early 1960s. It features motorcycle Grand Prix road racing world champion, Geoffrey Ernest Duke OBE (1923–2015), presenting a tour of the country roads composing the Isle of Man TT motorcycle race, also known as the Snaefall Mountain Course. For roughly the first half of the film, Duke takes a group of young motorcyclists on a bus tour of the race course, stopping at various difficult points on these public roads of the Isle of Man to suggest particular motorcycle handling strategies. For the remainder of the film (starting 7:30), Duke sits indoors with Bob Holliday of Motor Cycling magazine to discuss racing strategy. Key ideas discussed include proper lines to allow for acceleration and knowledge of one’s “machine.” Course elements discussed in detail include: Braddan Bridge ('S' bend and junction with two staggered side-roads on A1 Peel Road), Cronk-y-Voddy Straight (on A3 Castletown to Ramsey road), Ballaugh Bridge (Bridge at junction of C37 Ballaugh Glen Road and A10 (Ballaugh Station Road)), Parliament Square (A3 (Lezayre Road)), 32nd Milestone or Dukes (On A18 Mountain Road), Windy Corner (On A18 Mountain Road), and Creg-ny-Baa (Junction of A18 with secondary B12 Creg-ny-baa Back Road). Keywords: Geoff Duke, Manx Grand Prix, Isle of Man / Mann, Isle of Man TT, Douglas, motorcycle technique, motorcycle race positioning, acceleration times, clutch control motorcycle racing, motorcycle race strategy.

Note: this film was made prior to the Civil Rights movement. It displays plantation life in the American South and may contain stereotypical images of African Americans that are offensive by modern standards.

This silent film "The Old South" was one of a series of educational movies produced by Eastman Classroom films, a division of Kodak that operated in the late 1920’s and early 30’s. It opens with images of the area to be known as ‘the old south’ encompassing the southeastern United States,  stretching towards the central plains (:31). The equator is highlighted as well as the longitude and latitude with which the old south squeezes into (:40). Climate in this area is considerably warm and was ideal for growing various crops (1:02). The coastal plain area is highlighted (1:15). An aerial shot of the waters cutting lines through the land follows (1:29). The flood plain is noted (1:39). The highlands are noted on a map as well as in actual footage (2:17).

Made by the Aenta Insurance Company in 1953, "Learning to Shift and Steer" is a silent driver's education film. The car featured appears to be a Ford, probably a 1953 Ford Sunliner, which featured a shifter on the steering column. Column shifters were developed in the late 1930s but were more or less put to the wayside by the auto industry, as they were not ergonomic, and were unnecessary once bench seating became passe.

Produced by Documentary Productions, Inc. and Craig Stewart in 1955, this rare sound movie "World of Racing" focuses on the 5th Annual Catalina Island Grand Prix motorcycle race. The film begins with shots of the famed casino and the liner SS Catalina (:42) arriving in Avalon. At 1:12, a seaplane arrives in the harbor. The race begins (at about 2:20) and there is commentary by Craig Stewart and another man throughout. Race winner that year was famed rider Bud Ekins, with Don Hawley placing second and Hazen Bair third.  All three rode on Triumphs, with Ekins on a trophy model. Bud Ekins led almost from the start to finish and knocked off ten minutes from Jim Johnson’s 1954 record for the course.The Catalina Grand Prix ran from 1951-1958, and was an on and off-road event that spanned the city of Avalon and nearby fire roads and horse trails on the island. It was inspired by the Isle of Man TT. It typically ran over two days, with a 60-mile race for bikes up to 250cc, followed by a 100-mile race for larger motorcycles. Many of the bikes used were British, including makes by BSA and Triumph. The racing days at Catalina came to a screeching halt in 1958 as a result of financial problems, and an ugly incident in which Mel Porter, owner of the Waikiki Bar (shown briefly at 1:57) and mayor of the city of Avalon, was assaulted during the event. Race winner James Sherwin "Bud" Ekins (1930 – 2007) was a professional stuntman who worked onThe Great Escape and Bullitt. He was the rider who performed what is considered to be one of the most famous motorcycle stunts ever performed in a movie in "The Great Escape". He was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999.

This incomplete, untitled instructional film (main title is missing on our print) was presented by the U.S. Army (circa 1950s) shows a G.I. setting up various models of American-made military-grade landmines. The models shown were used post- WWII and throughout the Cold War.  The film actually begins with images of what appears to be an M6 (or possibly an M15) mine,  a heavy, circular anti-tank mine that was similar to the German Tellermine 42.

Close-up of M6 or M15 landmine in soil, being marked for removal (0:09). This will normally be done by blowing it up in place or moving it with a long rope. Disarming the mine: hand turns dial on top of the landmine (0:40). A US Army soldier puts safety pin to the M6 landmine and lifts it out of its hole (0:51). Soldier sets up M14 anti-personnel anti-personnel blast mine (1:20). Soldier buries and disguises the M14 (3:45). Soldier places a safety pin around the indicator arrow to prevent premature explosion (4:16). Illustration of how buried M14 Landmine functions (5:18). Soldier sets up M16 Landmine (5:49). Illustration of explosion radius of the M16 (7:55).

A land mine is an explosive device concealed under or on the ground and designed to destroy or disable enemy targets. The use of landmines is controversial because of their potential and indiscriminate weapons. They can remain dangerous many years after a conflict has ended and pose a threat to civilian safety. During the Cold War the United States used the M6 anti tank mine and trip-wire operated bounding antipersonnel mines such as the M2 and M16 which are some of the explosives featured in this instructional film.

The M6 landmine debuted in WWII, where it was deployed against German...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8d47fc6a-a20e-49fc-a9f0-60eb967a99ed/c4634ac7-cbc2-4e4d-a8f0-ec945fb600a3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/irSmN1UQwwkRqeiGTCxNBg</video:player_loc><video:duration>602</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-02T22:58:34.344Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4h345dqD9g49miKBiwtTNu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/790ae0ac-8c3a-4591-bc4f-3bf241293ab0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" PROJECT GEMINI MISSION REVIEW 1965 "  NASA FILM  GEMINI II, III, IV, V, VII MISSIONS   68344</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This film "Make Way for Youth" was developed by the American Jewish Committee (AJC) in 1947, and produced by the National Social Welfare Assembly. It was probably the most widely seen non-theatrical film devoted to promoting religious and racial tolerance, in the immediate post-war period. The same year this film was released, Hollywood produced films with a focus on the problem of antisemitism: "Crossfire" and "Gentlemen’s Agreement". This film promotes interracial acceptance, social cohesion, and has a strong message of anti-racism and anti-prejudice.

Produced by The Jam Handy Organization and presented by the membership committee of the American Dental Association, this film from the late 1940s titled “The Story of the American Dental Association” acted as promotional material for the ADA to entice new members, and to educate the public about the difference between a "real" dentist and a quack. The film likens the ADA to a necessary governing body that maintains order and upholds safety and education standards to ensure there is no corruption of the dental industry the same way Congress and The House of Representatives safeguard law and order in the United States. Narrated by Vincent Pelletier, written by George Wilcock, and directed by Haford Kerbawy, the film discusses the organization and founding of the organization as well as the history of dental practices and advancements in education standards and college programs.  The American Dental Association (ADA) is an American professional association established in 1859 in Niagara Falls, New York. It was later renamed the National Dentist Association before being re-founded as the ADA in 1922. Today, the ADA has more than 152,000 members. It is the largest and oldest national dental association in the world and is committed to both the public and the dental profession.

Presented by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, this educational film from 1945 (and revised in 1961) is titled “Realm of The Wild” discusses the importance of the national forests across the United States as sources of raw materials, places for enjoyment, and as homes to many species of wildlife. Additionally, the film sheds light on the strain that overpopulation of a species or overconsumption of land can have on the local vegetation and as such, the essential role of State and Federal game laws. Directed by Carl Stearns Clancy, photographed by H.L. Shants, L.J. Mills, Orange A. Olsen and written by H.L. Shants and J.K. Hessel, this film is made up of various scenes of different species of wildlife from across the United States in their natural habitat while voice over discusses details of the species migratory patterns, preferred sustenance, and mating rituals. The United States Forest Service (USFS) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that administers the nation’s 154 national forests and 20 national grasslands. The concept of national forests was born from Theodore Roosevelt’s conservation group, Boone and Crockett Club, due to concerns regarding Yellowstone National Park in 1875. Congress passed the first set of legislation appointing a specialized government body to oversee concerns with national forests in 1876. The USFS as we know it today did not come to fruition until after the Transfer Act of 1905.

This animated NASA educational film describes the Gemini Program Mission concept. The Gemini program took place between NASA’s Mercury and Apollo eras in the mid-sixties. The main objectives included testing long duration flight as well as rendezvous missions. All of the information collected from these missions were to further aid NASA and Department of Defense goals. The film opens with the NASA seal (:12). The opening animation depicts NASA’s desire to send humans to the moon and later to Mars (:36). Engine separation is depicted in orbit in space (1:32). Mid-course correction maneuvers would be utilized in order to conduct a rendezvous (2:16), docking maneuvers and stage keeping (1:48). The Gemini program was considered to be an intermediary step towards getting astronauts to the moon (2:42). Long term duration flight was to be tested (3:00) including the astronauts communication and systems of life support. New methods with which the craft and astronauts aboard were to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere were to be explored (3:27). The use of the paraglider during the re-entry phase is highlighted (3:54). The Gemini mission time schedule was considerably short (4:51). Much of the information to be used for these missions were drawn from project Mercury (5:03). The structure of the Mercury spacecraft is compared to the Gemini craft (5:17). The life supporting chamber for the astronauts is depicted (5:28). Much of the equipment was comprised in modular form (5:43) for ease of repair and maintenance. The ability to control yaw, roll and pitch (6:26) was vital. The Agena rocket vehicle was to be the rendezvous target (7:02). The Atlas was to be used for launching (7:10). The two-stage Titan II was to boost the craft into orbit (8:20).

Made during WWII by the German Luftwaffe strictly for "service use", this silent film gives pilots and navigators vital information about the UK's geography -- specifically, a look at how to locate and attack the major British ports along the English Channel. The film includes a warning at the head (;24) that "...this is a secret item within the meaning of Section 88 of the Reich Criminal Code."  The film goes on to trace routes from northwestern Germany to the ports along the English Channel, with distances and specific waypoints and geographical features noted. 

The movie starts with maps of the English Channel (:38) and a flight path from Borkum in northwest Germany to the Isle of Wight.

This four-minute untitled home movie from 1958 depicts scenes and sites from in and around the famed Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Disneyland, which opened its doors in 1955, is the only amusement park in the Disney franchise that was built under the direct supervision of Walt Disney who came up with the concept of Disneyland after visiting various amusement parks with his daughters in the 1930s and 1940s. The film is interesting in that it shows the L.A. Airways helicopter service to the park from Los Angeles' airport, LAX, about 27 miles away. At the time, S-55 helicopters were used, capable of carrying 7-9 passengers. These were later replaced by larger, Sikorsky S-61L helicopters. The helicopter era at Disneyland ended in 1968, when a Sikorsky 61L was involved in a fatal crash on the evening of August 14th.

This untitled music video-esque film from the mid-1970s is a film interpretation of American lyricist, singer-songwriter and poet.Dory Previn’s song “Mary C. and The Hollywood Sign”. It was made by Robert Fentress, who later became a film producer. At the time of the production, Fentress was a student at the Southern California Film Institute. The four-minute color film includes footage of scenes and sites around the famous Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, California including of course the world-famous Hollywood Sign. At the time it was shot, the sign had not been restored -- and you can see that it is in very poor condition.  The sign was originally created in 1923 as a temporary advertisement for a local real estate development, but due to increasing recognition (and thanks to celebrity support including by Hugh Hefner) the sign was left up and replaced in 1978 with a more durable all-steel structure. Among the most well-known landmarks in both California and the United States, the sign makes frequent appearances in popular culture, particularly in establishing shots for films and television programs set in or around Hollywood. As stated previously, the film acted as a film interpretation of Dory Previn’s song “Mary C. Brown and the Hollywood Sign” from her fourth solo LP released in November 1972, which was a thematic album about Hollywood misfits.  The songs were part of a musical revue that debuted in Los Angeles, with hopes that it would open on Broadway. Unfortunately, the show didn't make it.   

At 1:01, the film shows the wall of the 20th Century Fox studio, and at 1:05 a sign advertising a burlesque type show. At 2:21, close shots of the Hollywood Sign reveal it to be cover...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/10743b5a-1f29-4af7-b68d-ff87510d883d/60e86056-8491-45e4-8518-c68901add5e6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/32R2gjfYiJ4WXRurc6etFB</video:player_loc><video:duration>282</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T00:01:54.104Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/w15W5qyBHRHUCDkqqvHpQk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7eda3f44-1570-4c1c-9b27-ebe77bdbe352.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“FOOTBALL: THE GREAT YEARS”  1966 HISTORY OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL DOCUMENTARY WITH FRANK LEAHY  XD51684</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This film from the 1970s titled “Quickest Draw in the West” is a Cold War-era propaganda film made by North American, highlighting their AGM-28 Hound Dog missile system. It was directed by one of North American's outstanding staff members, Cal Reed, and photographed by Paul Hipp, Donald Coones and Dave Weeks. The film was produced for The Strategic Air Command of the United States Air Force.  (SAC) was active between 1947-1992 and was both a United States Department of Defense (DoD) Specified Command and a United States Air Force (USAF) Major Command (MAJCOM), responsible for Cold War command and control of two of the three components of the U.S. military’s strategic nuclear strike forces. Narrated by voice-actor John McIntire, the film uses the metaphor of a sheriff patrolling the Wild West and keeping it safe to promote American values as it is the "sheriff of The West" during the Cold War trying to keep the world safe from the Soviet threat. Additionally, the film highlights the advanced technology that the United States is armed with, thanks to its superior defense industry. This includes the Hound Dog and the Boeing B-52 "Stratofortress" launch platform, the principal bomber of the Strategic Air Command since the 1950s.

This stylish documentary film titled “Pertaining to Chicago 1957” was made by Jim Davis and Leo J. Merker and dedicated to the Graham Foundation. It is a unique, impressionistic homage to the splendor, motion, color, bustle and activity of Chicago, Illinois. As stated in the foreword, “the film is a series of personal, subjective impressions of certain aspects of Chicago, especially masterpieces of Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright from the late 1800s to the early 1900s and the works of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and others who influenced the Chicago of today.” The directors of the film take a particular interest in trying to convey the “American obsession with motion” by highlighting the Chicago L, the Chicago Loop and its electric signs.Opening credits (0:07).

It begins with shots of the Blériot XI, a pioneering plane first flown by pilot and designed Louis Blériot across the English Channel in 1909. The flight represented the first time a heavier-than-air craft had crossed the Channel, and one of the most important accomplishments of the early era of aviation. The plane was later produced in a military version. At 1:54, Allied pilots are seen practicing dogfight maneuvers with model aircraft. At 2:28, French Nieuport fighters are shown lined up at an airdrome. These appear to be Nieuport 10 / Nieuport XB aircraft, flown by many of the early French aces. At 3:12, a pilot gets in his plane's cockpit and takes off towards camera (3:35). 

N.B.: This film was originally released by G. B. Jarrett, a military collector and the Chief of the Ordnance Museum at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.

This home movie from 1939 shows a tourist's visit to a dude ranch located in Wyoming, and one in Montana. The name of the filmmaker is unknown, but whoever it was created an elaborate travelogue complete with title cards. The ranch shown at the start of the film was run by Vieva and Deyo Jeffers. It was apparently located near the Little Piney Creek, although the exact location isn't mentioned in the film (and the name of the ranch is hard to make out on the sign at :41. The movie shows a fairly typical dude ranch experience, including opportunities for guests to see branding of cattle (1:57) and horseback riding (2:44).

At 4:18 Steamboat Rock, Montana and "Bob's Cattle Camp" is shown. At 5:58, the Elkhorn Dude Ranch in Montana is shown. At 6:42, a cow is milked. At 7:08, ice cream and fried chicken is served at a picnic. At 8:37, a roping demonstration. At 10:09, images shot in Dayton, Wyoming including the Stockmen's Saloon. At 10:38, more riding in a column, and at 13:40, people stand atop a horse's saddle.

The Elkhorn Ranch still exists, and operates as a guest ranch as it has since 1922.

This silent film dates from the era when America was one of the world's top suppliers of industrial equipment and tools. It showcases machines made by the Engelberg Huller Company, a manufacturer of industrial machinery. It was probably part of a presentation reel, intended to advertise the company at trade shows.Engelberg was originally established in 1888 in Syracuse, New York, by John R. Montague, to manufacture and distribute the Engelberg Huller machine which was invented by Brazilian mechanical engineer and inventor, Evaristo Conrado Engelberg, and Willard Halstead to remove the husks and shells from rice and coffee during the milling process. The huller was quite successful, and additional patents were granted for various improvements over the years. (The hullers are still in use in many parts of the world.) Eventually the company began to make grinders as well as belt and disk sanders, and other equipment, all intended primarily for metalworking. At some point between 1957 and 1971 the company name changed to Engelberg, Inc. By 1971 the name hand changed again, to Sundstrand-Engelberg, Inc. of Liverpool, NY.   The film begins with shots at the Adams Rite company, a manufacturer of door and door hardware products which still exists today (0:08) Close-up of machined door hardware components shown on display cards (0:14) Two women working at an assembly line (0:44) Close-up of one of the woman’s hands as she removes what appear to be pocket door handle components from holders as they emerge from a sanding machine (1:18) Woman puts door lock striker plates in holders and inspects them (2:00) Close-up of hands placing door lock components into molds (2:36) Finished components e...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/790332f8-5399-49fb-84cf-137b3c0b8a28/f58a9933-132f-40e8-b382-2282cfca99cd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fWGHJoyf9FPa4kxEkJtm8b</video:player_loc><video:duration>535</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T00:19:40.846Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8gie7BV4r66mjcGVU1aE4A</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fce6c634-715d-4c2b-afe1-6ae75090f764.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ NEW ENGLAND ” 1950’S AMATEUR HOME MOVIE TRAVELOGUE   VERMONT  MAINE  NEW HAMPSHIRE (SILENT)  44614</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This film, an elaborate, amateur home movie shot by an unknown American tourist, shows viewers a brief tour of New England. It likely dates to the late 1940s or early 1950s, and features descriptive, hand made title cards throughout. The film shows views of America's northeastern region, encompassing the states Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The area is characterized for its rich colonial history and landscape. Many historic sites from the American Revolution are littered throughout. The film opens as the Berkshires of Connecticut (:14) are reflected in the waters of the Housatonic River (:18). The Berkshires are a mountain range running through both Connecticut and Massachusetts. An old mill is highlighted in the center of historic Ashley Falls, Massachusetts (:32). It was erected in 1782 and had been stone grinding for about 200 years. Bubbling water falls run alongside the mill (:38). The Dwight-Henderson House in Great Barrington, Massachusetts (:52) is the second oldest house in Great Barrington constructed in 1759 (1:00). This location also later became the home of the poet William Cullen Bryant (1:09) as a quote from one of his writings appears. The camera zooms in on lily pads in the pond (1:29).

This 1950’s short black and white film features Emily Post, explaining to viewers the proper etiquette when traveling out of the United States. Much more so in the earlier decades than in today, there was a concern over social etiquette; how one should behave in social settings; domestic and abroad. Today much of the formalities seem to have all but faded. Emily Post, who wrote a column on good taste that was syndicated in over 200 American newspapers, narrates this brief guide on manners (:13). It opens with images of her sitting in her home in front of linen curtains. Post notes Americans are ambassadors for goodwill when they travel to other countries (:38). A US passport is presented stamped September 11th, 1951 (:48). The film then takes viewers to Le Bourget in northeastern France (:52) as a hotel guest berates the front desk over ice cubes (:57). Emily then notes that ice cubes were in fact an American staple not popularly used in European countries (1:19). While traveling abroad, one must expect to encounter different customs (1:21). A tourist and bellhop stand outside a hotel (1:36). The tourist and his female companion go over foreign phrases together (1:45). The trip goes to Italy (1:54). Restaurant etiquette is depicted as a man goes over the menu for Ristorante Mercurio Rome (2:01). It is important to be aware of gratuity norms (2:20). Often 15% gratuity is included in the bill though an additional five percent cash tip is customary. Emily notes it is forbidden to tip while flying (2:39). On a luxury liner cruise ship, guests enjoy refreshments delivered by wait staff (2:40). In her hotel room, a young woman’s attire is compared to that of the common European’s as they generally dress more conservatively than Americans do (3:03). In social settings, European’s tend towards more formal greetings and may refrain from using a person’s...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d6583c2d-0559-45df-9434-0a80b2447f9a/547cd0cc-750d-4b67-af5e-bb9061e63181-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sta1a6cr1t5yXQhwPnCJrY</video:player_loc><video:duration>254</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T00:21:05.477Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jBYnZdquhqGUeNieqzJos3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/918ee279-7b52-41b2-af7d-80b9c8616c2c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>TRIP TO GUATEMALA &amp; GUATEMALA CITY  SANTIAGO ATITLÁN   AMATEUR TRAVELOGUE FILM (SILENT)  44414</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This silent, amateur travelogue film dates to the 1940s and was shot by an unknown American filmmaker who journeyed north from Seattle via steamship. The film takes viewers on a tour through Alaska, which was purchased by the United States in 1867. As an elaborate, handmade title card notes, the man behind the purchase was former Secretary of State; William H. Seward (:20). His home is captured in Auburn, New York with his own statue erected outside of the structure (:25). Seattle’s expansive harbor is viewed (:41). The piers are pictured loaded with pounds of fish as cranes wheel in barrels full of catches (1:17). Gutted and cleaned fish are swept off the ship's deck (1:39). The wide thoroughfare known as the Alaskan Way parallels Seattle’s waterfront (2:04). An office is pointed to overlooking Elliot Bay which publishes the local paper “Alaskan Weekly” (2:08). The Alaskan Steamship Company’s pier is highlighted (2:34). A merchant ship “SS Flemish Knot” (2:45) unloading crates of cargo onto the pier.

The same engine was sold to the Durango &amp; Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&amp;SNG) in 1981. The film opens with shots of steam locomotive 476 (:18). The tourist train pulls out from the station and approaches a bend in the track (1:30). It rolls past a small workman's shack (1:48). A view from aboard the train captures telephone poles flicking by (2:21). The train crosses a bridge and passes spectators (2:56). The train slows and the conductor waves on any potential riders (3:30). It then pauses on the bridge as the engine smokes (3:39). With a quick burst of steam and clanging steel, the train starts up again (3:59). Passengers are shown on an open air observation car (5:30) as the train rumbles on. 

Built in 1923, locomotive 476 pulled trains on the Denver &amp; Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&amp;RGW) narrow gauge system until being moved to the Durango &amp; Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (D&amp;SNG). It operated excursions on the D&amp;SNG until being taken out of service in late 1999 and placed on display in the D&amp;SNG roundhouse museum. It was recently restored and is now being converted to burn oil instead of coal.

This fascinating home movie, complete with handmade title cards, dates to 1936 and was shot by an unknown American amateur filmmaker, possibly named McElhiney. It contains rare scenes of the Texas Centennial Exposition in Dallas. This fair ran from June 6 to November 29, 1936, at Fair Park, Dallas, Texas. The expo was a celebration of the 100th anniversary of Texas's independence from Mexico in 1836. The grounds featured more than 50 buildings, some of which remain in the present era. The Expo attracted more than 6 million visitors and helped boost the Dallas economy during the Great Depression.

The film starts with images shot in a trailer camp of "George R. Chester and Family" (10:13). A 1930s camp trailer or travel trailer is visible at (28:00). At (34:00), a "wee nip" as the friends partake in a celebratory drink -- keep in mind Prohibition had only ended in late 1933!  At (54:00), the segment shot at the Texas Centennial Exposition.

This recently rediscovered, silent, 26-minute film from the late 1960s was created for NASA by Ling Temco Vought (LVT) Aeronautics Corporation, to showcase the Maneuvering Work Platform or MWP and the Space Taxi. Both of these devices were engineering concepts which did not end up being produced or deployed, but they apparently influenced later NASA manned maneuvering concepts. The "Space Taxi" is especially interesting in that aspects of its design are similar to the Discovery's "EVA pods" in the landmark movie "2001: A Space Odyssey." 

The Maneuvering Work Platform and affiliated Space Taxi were, according to LVT documentation from 1970, "...advanced extra-vehicular maneuvering unit(s), designed for maintenance and repair of spacecraft in orbit and for erection and handling of large structures in space."   According to title cards, the film was made for the MSFC (NASA Marshall Space Flight’s Center) Huntsville Advanced Systems. Office by the Advanced Manufacturing Systems of the LTV Astronautics Division. The MSFC in Huntsville, Alabama is the U.S. government’s civilian rocketry and spacecraft propulsion center. As the largest NASA center, MSFC’s first mission was developing the Saturn launch vehicles for the Apollo program. Additionally, Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV) was a large US conglomerate which existed from 1961-2000 that was involved in aerospace and airlines as well as steel manufacturing, meat packing, and pharmaceuticals amongst other businesses.

This PSA-style film from the 1970s titled “Use Your Head” was presented by the Construction Safety Association of Ontario to eliminate occupational head injuries on construction sites. The film discusses the benefits of consistent wear and usage of the construction hard hat, the different available models of hard hats, as well as how to properly take care of your hard hat. Additionally the film briefly touches on the history of protective headgear from the Vikings to the Trojans to military helmets from World War I. This film was produced by Toronto, Canada based production company Rabko. The film was produced in a low-cost method, using still frames of photographs to achieve a narrative, so that is feels like a slideshow.

Filmed in August, 1945, including on V-J Day, this home movie footage shows members of Allied armies in occupied Italy. The exact locations are unclear.

The film begins with shots of U.S. soldiers holding up a copy of "Stars and Stripes" with the headline "Peace at Last". This particular newspaper was issued on August 15, 1945 on V-J Day. These shots are followed by a parade of (unarmed) soldiers moving through the city. Some of these soldiers wear the U.S. Army North African Theater of Operation Patch (visible especially at 9:23). At (3:18), soldiers assemble in a square. At (4:27) an African American band, part of the drum and bugle corps, is shown performing. The Roman style building in the b/g at (4:38) seems very identifiable but has not yet been named. At (4:47), an officer who appears to be a colonel addresses the troops. At (5:02) the band continues to play. Troops parade through the city. At (6:15) a color guard with a U.S. Army infantry flag. At (6:56) the headquarters of the 384th Port Battalion, part of the 6th Port of Embarkation, a unit of the Transportation Corps and the Quartermaster Corps. At (7:21) -- an equestrian statue of Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia is visible in the background. The film ends with dark shots of a U.S. soldier showing off what might be a letter at (8:27).

This short, silent film shows scenes from the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, the famed music festival held August 15-18, 1969. This footage was shot by a local New York TV station both at the time of the event, and probably a year afterwards, once the muddy fields of Max Yasgur's dairy farm had recovered. The end of the piece features a reporter speaking on camera (silent here unfortunately), likely mentioning that the area is now peaceful, quiet, and free of hippies. 

Some of the wonderful scenes in this footage -- which is different from that shown in the famed Woodstock movie -- include hippies dancing en masse in the rain, people bathing in a lake or pond (:20), a man with a Zappa-esque mustache sleeping on the ground (:22) surrounded by thousands of others. A performer appears at (:38). At :39, more audience members are shown. At :41, two people make out. At :56, the completely trashed field where the concert was held is shown. At 1:04 Max Yasgur's farm is shown a year after the event.

Dating to the early 1970s, “The Road to Adventure” follows the fishing adventures of Walt Connors and Larry as they travel south of the Mexico-United States border on the Pan-American Highway. They drive to the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of Tehuantepec, and the Sea of Cortez in a crimson red Dodge truck, towing their new travel trailer along (2:16). This advertising film was narrated by Paul Harvey. 

In the opening scene, the camera transitions from a long stretch of road to a jet plane in the sky to a group of men hunting a bird (00:11-00:36). The “road to adventure,” as the narrator explains, can be found in Mexico along the Pan-American Highway (00:44-00:52). This network of roads is the world’s longest motorable highway, stretching from Prudhoe, Alaska in North America to Ushuaia, Argentina in South America. “Get out and go” was the motto of the mid-nineteenth century, however, the advent of motor vehicles allowed people to traverse farther distances and vast terrains (1:25-1:43). At (2:27), a 1967 Dodge Charger pulls an Airstream trailer. At (2:33), a Dodge D100 or D200 pickup truck is shown with a camper shell in the rear.

The first stop for Walt, Larry, and Larry’s wife Sandy was El Salto, a beautiful waterfall in the forests of Mazamitla (3:30). The first camp was at the waterfall’s base, where they met Scotty—a young Scottish man (4:08-4:21). Walt and Scotty swapped fish stories, then went fishing in hopes of catching some trout. Unfortunately, they lucked out and sat in front of a campfire as they listened to Scottish folk songs (4:44-5:12). Walt invited Scotty to stay the night in their camper, and the camera pans to highlight its various features such as a bunk bed, indoor shower, and a spacious kitchen (5:15-6:06). 

Walt, Larry, and Sandy headed toward Tehuantepec to continue their fishing adventures (6:09...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3090f1ba-2d22-4ae2-af02-4558eb6486f5/78dab162-8848-4c2a-8c0c-1e628f308e47-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6ZQrTa5jWbvHRSojDutydD</video:player_loc><video:duration>1708</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T00:43:26.355Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mgM75UDbvuJ1F1zE2J6QjV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9f6fef32-7d8c-48bc-b37d-97382eeb783d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“WE THE PEOPLE”  1940  REPUBLICAN NOMINEE WENDELL WILLKIE CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT 15524a</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

The marks you see on the film were made by the editor with a grease pencil, and indicate where fade-ups and fade-downs would have been added in post production. The sound for the film has unfortunately been lost. The film shows various shots of AA Boeing 720 aircraft, cockpits and pilots at work, with an obvious focus on how to avoid loss of control issues in turbulent conditions. The film was most likely produced after a fatal accident. On February 12, 1963, Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 705, a Boeing 720-051B (reg. N724US), suffered an in-flight break-up over the Florida Everglades about 12 minutes after leaving Miami, bound for Chicago. All 35 passengers and eight crew died. The cause of the crash was determined to be an unrecoverable loss of control due to severe turbulence.

The Boeing 720 was conceived in July 1957 as a 707 derivative for shorter flights from shorter runways, and first flew on November 23, 1959.  Compared to the 707-120, it has a length reduced by 9 feet (2.7 m), a modified wing and a lightened airframe for a lower maximum takeoff weight.

The Astrojet was a nickname given to the carrier's new aircraft which were of a retro design with vivid red stripes on a polished aluminum fuselage. The film was created to be a part of training material for pilots and provides direction in order to guide am astrojet through turbulence safely. Captain Fred Illston; Director of Flying Procedures for American (1:05) opens the film. Records and memos from the Federal Aviation Agency are presented (1:32). Another memo on Turbojet operations from February 26th, 1965 follow (1:34). Pilots enter a flight simulator inside a large centrifuge (2:12). The angle of attack is highlighted on an animation of an Astrojet (4:38). Pilot controls and radar screens are pointed to prior to turbulence (4:50) as well as after (5:18).

A collaboration between Reader’s Digest and Vavin Inc, this short film from 1966 titled “The Race to Save Abu Simbel” depicts efforts to save the Temple Abu Simbel by moving it farther up the banks of the Nile when it is threatened by impending flooding. The film is narrated by famed American writer, actor, broadcaster, and traveler best remembered for publicizing T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), Lowell Thomas who at the end of the film appeals to the audience to donate funds to the rebuilding efforts of the temple. Abu Simbel are two massive rock-cut temples in the village of Abu Simbel in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt near the border with Sudan. The Complex is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the “Nubian Monuments.” The temples were originally carved out of the mountainside in the 13th century BC during the 19th Dynasty reign of the Pharaoh Rameses II. The complex was relocated in its entirety in 1968 under the supervision of a Polish archaeologist, Kazimierz Michałowski, from the Polish Centre of Mediterranean Archaeology University of Warsaw, on an artificial hill made from a domed structure, high above the Aswan High Dam reservoir. The relocation of the temples was necessary or they would have been submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the building of the Aswan High Dam on the River Nile. The project was carried out as part of the UNESCO Nubian Salvage Campaign

This informational film titled “Manned Space Flight: Apollo/ Saturn The Use for Science and Applications” was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sometime in the late 1960s or 1970s. The film chronicles NASA’s then mission of expanding upon the Apollo Saturn space vehicle technologies for further space explorations in Earth’s orbit, the Moon’s orbit, and the Moon’s surface. The committee of scientists led by Dr. Charles H. Townes sought to bridge the gap between space technology from the 1960s to that of the 1970s and beyond. (Charles Townes was the experimental physicist who invented the laser – now indispensable in science, technology, and medicine. Townes received the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work. More than a dozen subsequent Nobel Prizes have depended on the existence of lasers.)

Among these programs that made up the New Frontier agenda and ushered in the Eras of the New Frontier and Great Society in America was the founding and launch of the Peace Corps program to address global poverty and starvation, work to reverse prejudice and segregation and promote civil rights, as well as the development of the US Space Program. Woven within these scenes as well is discussion of JFK’s assassination in the third year of his presidential term and the impact it had on the American people.

Dating to the mid-to-late 1960s, this silent film shows equipment mock-ups for the Apollo program, including motion range and work studies with spacesuits in mock-ups of a Lunar Roving Vehicle or LVR. It was probably shot at the Marshall Space Flight Center. The film is one of many made to demonstrate astronaut mobility. The spacesuit shown is an early (possibly first prototype) which International Latex Corporation submitted to NASA as part of the Apollo suit competition in 1962, known as an SPD-143 model suit, (SPD for Special Products Division). NASA referred to this suit as being part of the AX1-L series and often referred to as a  "Modified Training and Evaluation Suit." The reason the suit looks strange to a modern viewer is that it does not have an outer shell, because the joint designs were considered in development and left exposed to allow further study.

This silent film footage from the Apollo Program shows Grumman technicians working inside a structure containing an early version of the lunar module / lunar excursion module. It appears to show a "fit test" -- with various components being assembled inside a mock-up of the protective fairing that sat atop the Saturn V. The technicians are shown taking apart an antenna array (4:51) and then reassembling it. Some parts of the structure are clearly made of wood (12:25), indicating that they are placeholders or mockups for equipment not yet built.

This film depicts the campaign to eradicate Malaria from Sardinia during 1946 to 1950. One of the main aspects of the program was the widespread and continuous use of the pesticide DDT. The use of DDT has been hailed as a miracle drug or decried as another part of toxic colonialism. DDT has low solubility leading to long term threats on the environment and the International Agency for Research on Cancer has said DDT is “probably carcinogenic to humans.” Malaria; carried by mosquitos, entered the area around 502 BC. Images of Sardinia open the film (1:11). A local watches over livestock (1:23). One of the small villages of the area is highlighted (1:37). Poor Sardinians wash clothes by hand (1:49). Many live a simple and traditional lifestyle indicative of their heritage. A man carves a religious relic by hand (1:58). This area is considered to be the poorest in all of Italy (2:10). Horses drag plows over marshy land (2:17). The land was once lush with trees though much had been cut down subjecting the lands to erosion (2:29).

This film shows the construction of the Oroville Dam; an earth filled embankment dam situated on the Feather River in California. A massive dredge (:29) such as those which had once scoured California’s land during the gold rush years opens the film. The land is depicted as covered in mine fillings though it had once been lush landscape (:57). California's main water sources were in far remote locations from much of the state’s population (1:34).

This film shows the country of Libya as the American oil company Amoseas (a partnership between Chevron and Texaco) began to search for oil. This was made possible as King Idris the First signed the Minerals Law of 1953 and the Petroleum Law of 1955, opening Libya to foreign oil investors.

One of a series of films in the Eastman Kodak Film Library, this silent, tinted film "Shark Fishing" shows shark hunting circa the early 1930s. The Eastman Kodak Film Library, also known as the Kodascope Library, offered more than 500 dramatic, educational and documentary films for loan, rent and for sale. This particular film was probably shot in Mexico or the Gulf of California, although the exact location is unclear because the film is missing the main titles.

This film begins with images of fishermen fixing nets (:27) and then setting sail in a small fishing boat (:30). At (:59) they fish for bait, which they will use to catch sharks. At (1:19) they deploy their nets and show off a spotted eagle ray (1:24) and salt water crayfish (1:47), a porpoise, as well as some barracuda including what appears to be baby or juvenile sharks (2:08). At (3:26) an adult shark that has been caught in the net is shown off. At (4:30) the harvested bait is cut up, and at (5:17) they begin trawling for sharks. (Note: A trawl is a large net that is pulled through the water column or along the seabed. This fishing gear is typically used to catch fish or shrimp. Trawling is frowned upon in the modern world because it is a very indiscriminate form of fishing.)  At (5:55) a shark is pulled from the water. At (6:46) a shark's mouth is shown clearly, with the multiple rows of teeth visible. At (7:58) seven distinct rows of teeth are shown off. At (8:10), the cleaning and skinning of an adult shark is shown. At (9:47), shark fins are shown being harvested and dried as food. At (10:50) shark skin leather is seen being processed and tanned, and used for fashion, shoes, luggage and other purposes.

This 1950s black and white newsreel style film produced by William Ganz is titled “Building New Superliner United States” details, as the title suggests, the process behind designing and building the Superliner United States or SS United States as it was also known. The liner was conceived in 1946 as part of a post-war vision for a new, fast transatlantic passenger liner, capable of serving both civilian and military purposes. Designed by Gibbs &amp; Cox and built at Newport News Shipbuilding, the ship—initially known as Hull 488—was engineered to meet U.S. Navy specifications, allowing it to carry 14,000 troops or 2,000 peacetime passengers. Its construction involved over 800 companies, massive prefabricated sections, and unprecedented use of lightweight, fireproof materials—especially aluminum. Advanced features included full air conditioning, global telephone access from cabins, and safety standards previously unseen in maritime design. By the time of its launch in June 1951, the vessel was 70% complete—an industry record. The United States underwent sea trials in 1952, proving to be extremely fast (over 30 knots) and efficient. It soon became both a national symbol of technological achievement and a strategic asset, representing America’s ambition for supremacy on the seas.

Opening credits (0:13). Members of the Maritime Commission and General John M. Franklin President of the United States Lines gather around a model of the Superliner United States ship (30:00).

It is unclear who made this film however the creator is likely connected to the family featured in the opening scenes of the film. Mardi Gras is a holiday that is not limited to New Orleans but rather is celebrated across all of Louisiana. The Celebrations are concentrated for a two-week period before and through Shrove Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday which is the start of Lent in Western Christian tradition). The parades in New Orleans are organized by various social clubs referred to as krewes. The parade featured in this film is from one of the earliest-established krewes known as the Rex Krewe which is known from the signature float of a king character with his royal court.

Montage of clips of people gathered on sidewalks for Mardi Gras Parade in various costumes (0:23).

This promotional film was created by Homer Groening, the creator of the Simpson's -- Matt Groening's -- father. It promotes the home building company formerly known as Deltona Corporation. Deltona was founded by the Mackle Brothers; Elliot, Robert and Frank Jr. The brothers also founded General Development Corporation prior to developing Marco Island. In the early 90’s the top executives were convicted of swindling home buyers on houses worth thousands less than their sales price. GDC reorganized and changed its name to Atlantic Gulf Communities Inc. The film opens with a plane flying over some of the planned communities they had constructed (:27). Frank Mackle Jr. speaks on the design of the operation as they sought to plan a decade in advance (:41). An aerial shot of Marco Island follows (1:03). Deltona was seeking to expand their business of selling manufactured homes outside the state of Florida (1:41). The Mackle brother’s father had built Camp Gordon, Fort McPherson and numerous commercial buildings throughout the south during WW1 (2:08). Deltona was eight years old here (2:39) and had grown to a population of 10,000. The area pulled in retirees seeking active lifestyles. Golf courses (3:01), agriculture opportunities, fishing, and an adult education school was made available to residents. Dan McNeil was a part of the project since the start (4:17). Spring Hill began four years later (4:41). Some of the homes of Citrus Springs are viewed (5:14). Another community is St. Augustine Shores (5:48). The area’s were self maintained; residents paid a fee for maintenance (5:59). The homes were built on concrete foundations (6:23). Sunny Hills was the newest addition (6:29).

This amateur shot 16mm, silent home movie dates to 1929 and was probably shot in June of that year. It was filmed by an unknown American and contains many scenes in New York City.  (The date this was shot is a guess based on a scene at 3:45, where the Paramount Theater is shown, with the marquee advertising William Powell in the film "The Four Feathers". This was one of the last major Hollywood pictures of the silent era, and released in June, 1929.) Other sights in the film include: a visit to Richmond, Virginia including the Virginia Washington Monument with its equestrian statue of George Washington (:23), at 1:06 the Robert E. Lee Monument on Monument Avenue, and at 1:12 the Stonewall Jackson Monument. At 1:20 are shots of what might be the filmmaker's family, posing on a porch. At 1:49, the film moves to show scenes of New York City. At 1:56 Washington Square Arch is shown. At 2:21, the exterior of the Pig 'N Whistle, followed by a shot of the New York elevated and 
the Chrysler Building under construction (2:40), the New York Elevated (2:46), the 40 story New York Central building (2:52), the Paramount Building (3:45) located at 43rd and Broadway (which contained the Paramount Theatre) and scenes of busy Broadway (note the cab with the ad for the glass roof restaurant in Chinatown).

This color newsreel film from 1959 titled “Steel Rhythm” acted as promotional material for the Steel, Peech, &amp; Tozer branch of the United Steel Companies Limited. The film highlights the continuous cycle of operations consisting of charging, melting, refining, tapering and teaming that took place at the Templeborough Melting Shop and Rolling Mills. Steel, Peech, &amp; Tozer met the steel demand created by WWI with the Templeborough Melting Shop which was the largest melting shop in Europe at the time of its opening in South Yorkshire. During the post-war period, the United Steel Companies Limited forged a fruitful relationship with Wallace Productions who were in charge of producing top-notch advertising material that disseminated knowledge on the industry and proved the company’s social relevance. This particular film featured A.V. Curtice as producer and supervising editor as well as Max Anderson as director and scriptwriter. It is also important to note that prior to mass distribution to the public, the film was screened and approved by the British Board of Film Censors.

This film shows the printing industry circa 1957, with a look back at the history of printing. The earliest records of printing began in 3,500 BCE. Gutenberg's printing press was perfected and ready for commercial use in 1490. This film was made available by Crown Zellerbach Corporation (:19). Crown Zellerbach was an American pulp and paper conglomerate that was subjected to a hostile takeover in the 80's by the brutal financier, Sir James Goldsmith. The film opens with a series of items which require printing such as a ground pepper container (:41), cereal box (:51) and a US tax return (:57). A Johnson’s Educator Cracker tin follows (1:40) as well as a flier for races in the fall at Willow Springs (1:44). Machinery churns out fresh printed pieces at a press (1:50). The film is presented by the Education Council of the Graphic Arts Industry Association based in LA (2:02). It was produced by Contemporary Films (2:44). A man and woman share ideas, or rather, communicate on a park bench (3:02). An IBM card sorting machine follows (3:23). Books are also pointed to as a method to communicate ideas with (3:29). A magazine advertisement pedals to female secretaries (3:44). A newspaper from 1957 dictates the Angels had signed Monte Irving that year (3:46).

Magazine pages are printed and folded over one another (4:55). The modern printer must be a specialist as they must also know how to bind, design, etc. (5:30). A wad of thick ink is spread (8:04).

While the quality isn't that good, many copies of this film were sold to the public -- who loved watching America's triumphant moment. Keep in mind that in 1970 when this was released, home video didn't exist!

Produced by Sid Davis Productions, this public awareness video from 1972 titled “The Dangerous Stranger” tells the story of different children who are kidnapped under various circumstances. The film uses the character of a friendly policeman as narrator, explaining to neighborhood kids what to never, ever do: don’t speak to or consort with unfamiliar adults. Sidney Davis of Sid Davis Productions was an American director and producer who specialized in social guidance films. One of his more successful titles included “The Dangerous Stranger” which he originally completed in 1950. This 1972 color version of the film is a remake of the successful 1950s film with the same name. The plot was left untouched for the remake with the only difference being giving the non-professional child actors a more contemporary look. Additionally, the 1972 version was produced with the cooperation of the Inglewood Unified School District and the Inglewood Police Department.

It contains opening remarks by Bob Hope.The episode features the Cold War and the arms race for nuclear weaponry between the United States and the Soviet Union. A competition ensued to build the largest collection of ICBMS. An image of the mushroom cloud from the atomic bomb follows the title screen (1:10). The Cold War, beginning in 1947 and ending in 1991, brought a new fear of nuclear warfare. Colonel Gary Curtin (1:24) speaks from the F.E Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. He speaks to the 40 year old US policy of deterrence (1:37) in order to keep any invading forces at bay. The Minuteman Missiles were designed to be launched rapidly after confirmation of a launch (within minutes) carrying a 1.2 megaton nuclear warhead. These were to hit distances of over 6,000 miles within a half hour of it’s intended target. After the third was deployed (2:20) the Soviet Union had developed five new of their own missile heads. The USSR and the US missiles are compared (2:31). Some of the Soviet missiles built were the SS-24 and the SS-25 (2:40). An ICBM is deployed (3:10). The LGM-118 Peacekeeper arrived on the scene in 1985 (3:14) and became a cornerstone of the Air Force’s modernization program. Air Force System’s Command is seen as they sign permission to give responsibility of the Peacekeepers to the Strategic Air Command at the F. E. Warren Air Force Base (3:34). The mission began with 10 missiles on alert in December of 1986 (3:45) and the final 50 were to be completed by December of 1988. Captain John Holcutt; a field engineer with the deployment of the Peacekeeper Missile System, speaks as technicians conduct a practice transfer (4:07).

It features the notable psychiatrist Dr. Humphrey Osmond, who is attributed with coining the word psychedelic and for his research into utilizing psychedelics for treatment of alcohol addictions. His work later inspired the novelist Aldous Huxley. Humphrey also identified adrenochrome; the hallucinogen produced in the brain which is said to cause schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is the world’s most prevalent mental illness. The film opens with Shakespeare's King Lear quotations (:25). Dr. Humphrey Osmond speaks on the illness (:30).

Produced by the Convair division of General Dynamics, this color film presents the Atlas Missile, the first operational intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) developed by the United States and the first member of the Atlas rocket family, as well as one of the first large liquid-fueled rockets. The first successful flight of a highly instrumented Atlas missile to full range occurred 28 November 1958, and the film probably dates from that time period. Atlas ICBMs were deployed operationally from 31 October 1959 to 12 April 1965

This scripted educational film from 1979 titled “A Woman’s Place” was produced by the United States Army’s Motion Picture/ Television Production Division, RASA in conjunction with John Bransby Productions, Ltd. The film, which was clearly made to provoke discussion of sexual politics and foster understanding, follows the story of Dr. Sarah Davidson, a highly accomplished surgeon. Dr. Davidson is chosen as senior surgeon at a hospital but, in her first days of work, Dr. Davidson is faced with blatant sexism from her colleagues including the head of the hospital. Throughout the course of the film, Dr. Davidson is put in positions where she confronts her colleagues for undermining her position on the basis of her gender. It's not clear precisely what the intent or motive behind the film was, but in the era in which it was made, women were rapidly joining the workforce and attaining career status and jobs hithertofore reserved for men.

This black &amp; white educational film was made during WWII by the office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs as part of the USA's "good neighbor" policy. Produced by Julien Bryan, it is a profile of the city of Lima, Peru, with narration providing historical background and visuals showing the modern city as it appeared in 1944. The film depicts the nation of Peru as one on the rise, with modern hospitals, transportation systems, and a public university open to all students, even those from less fortunate backgrounds. It was photographed by Jules Bucher with a script by Miriam Bucher.

Titles: LIMA (:07-:34). On a map, due south of Baltimore is Lima, Peru.  A man opens a window that overlooks part of downtown Lima. A trolley car goes by.

One of a series of films made by the U.S. Army to educate recruits about the Code of Conduct, this film discusses the duty of soldiers who are taken prisoner, and the responsibility to only offer "name, rank and serial number" to the enemy. Produced in 1959 during the Cold War, the film seems to show an Eastern European prison camp complete with a Colonel Klink like commandant.

Main titles (:06-:56). Enemy officers interrogate an American corporal named Paul Banks. The corporal slowly offers his name, rank and serial number to his interrogator, who threatens him (:57-2:10). The corporal is forced to remove his clothes and shivers as he is yelled at. He sits and doesn't say a word. Now, a second scenario (2:53). A PFC named Joe Campbell sits and smokes a cigarette as the interrogator stands over him. The interrogator asks him to sign a confession or renunciation (2:11-4:11). The PFC won't sign. He questions the signatures of other men in his outfit on the confession, but apparently he's unknowingly taken the interrogator's bait. (5:02) Enemy soldiers grab  PFC Campbell who's sleeping out of the prison barracks, shining flashlights in his face. Three of the other American prisoners talk in the tight quarters (4:12-5:50). PFC Campbell is asked by interrogators to speak into a microphone. The PFC will not admit to killing a civilian but he has been tricked -- the paper he signed earlier makes it appear that he is a confessed war criminal. He is told he must speak into the microphone of a tape recorder and make a confession, or never go home (5:5-7:13). The PFC speaks a propaganda statement into the microphone as his interrogator watches. He flips out and attacks the ¼ tape recorder and is restrained by guards. Later, he is s...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c2a60db6-6b91-4e53-9e70-dfd96c2f5880/9359fb90-7d99-45ca-815a-fdefb53a4d51-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/q36fL43EKPeuvPP9qbNPJh</video:player_loc><video:duration>626</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T05:43:42.647Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mEKW1f7KW2bwhq9F9hPpPh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/76915b74-4034-445c-9bcc-73230aa40e99.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Conspiracies and Coverups - S1E4 - COVID - How did you get into this?</video:title><video:description>A segment from Conspiracies &amp; Coverups (Discovery, 2026)

One of a series of films made by the U.S. Army to educate recruits about the Code of Conduct, this film discusses the duty of soldiers to keep faith with fellow prisoners, follow orders from superiors, and share no information with the enemy, or take part in any action which might harm fellow prisoners. The film also reminds prisoners of the succession of leadership: "if I am senior, I will take command". Produced in 1959 during the Cold War, the film seems to show an Eastern European prison camp complete with a Colonel Klink like commandant.

Main titles :(06-1:01). American prisoners are shown in a prison camp. A clock ticks loudly .

One of a series of films made by the U.S. Army to educate recruits about the Code of Conduct, this film discusses the duty of soldiers to resist the enemy, including when in captivity. Soldiers are instructed to resist by all means available, and make every effort to escape, and especially to not accept any parole or favors from the enemy. The will to resist, the film teaches, is what can keep men who are imprisoned alive.  Produced in 1959 during the Cold War, the film seems to show an Eastern European prison camp complete with a Colonel Klink like commandant.

Main titles (:06-:49). U.S. Army soldiers including an African American await an enemy assault in foxholes. They are low on ammunition. A prison camp, G.I.s wait in the food line. Two men stage a fight to divert the enemy's attention away from an escape -- a man escapes under the fence (:50-2:28). Two Americans have escaped. Enemy guards are furious. Interrogators try and figure out if the fight was staged and offer parole and privileges to every witness. G.I.s stay cool under this pressure and don't say a word. In the prison barracks, a sergeant explains to his men all the reasons not to take parole offers from the enemy (2:29-4:12). A man named Crane is asked to keep away from the prison camp's fence. Enemy guards patrol. Crane talks to another prisoner about a possible escape but the other guy wants him to not make waves (4:13-5:36). Crane talks to his sergeant about resisting the enemy's offer to grant him a parole. Now, the liberation of the prison camp is shown, with a Pershing tank pushing through the gates. Americans bust into and liberate a prison camp. The men are happy, shake hands, and walk out. One man however was a snitch, working for the enemy.

This late 1940s film (probably 1949) from Cornell University shows the innovations of methods of spraying insecticide and fungicide onto crops and plants for commercial use. (Modern viewers will note the lack of safety gear and respirators).  Chemicals which had already been used as insecticides such as cyanide or arsenic were diverted for use in the First World War which left a shortage in agriculture. The First World War became known as the "chemists war" because it saw the first real use of chemical warfare. Progress continued with insecticides after the war ended and on and into the second. In 1945 a newspaper featured the bombing of Hiroshima and a story about the release of DDT for unrestricted use for civilians on the same page. The film displays the field work of the research and development conducted in the lab. It is presented by the Department of Entomology of Cornell University (:22). Standard spraying equipment is seen moving over orchards (1:07). The Liqui-Duster shoots the chemical spray in a high velocity stream down an orchard (1:37). The hooded boom type sprayer is shown in use in Chautauqua County, New York which confined high pressure water sprays around the vines (2:39). A rainbow is captured in the mist of chemicals (3:01). A large chemical cloud is emitted from the back of the red sprayer (3:40). Two men drag a sprayer using gas aerosol (6:37). Another angle is provided from behind the machine as it moves away from camera (7:02). The spray is released from a narrow gold nozzle (7:38). Fog application procedures are looked to next (7:58) as a large plume of fog spills from the side of the tractor. Fog application is seen in use in an orange grove (9:32).

Created for the home market in the year 1940, this newsreel film shows the Chicago Cubs Baseball Team in Spring Training mode on Catalina Island.  Most likely this is the 1939 team as it features catchers Gus Mancuso and Gabby Hartnett, Dick Bartell, Phil Cavaretta and pitcher Dizzy Dean.  The 1939 Chicago Cubs played 154 games during the regular season, won 84 games, lost 70 games, and finished in fourth position. They played their home games at Wrigley Field (Park Factors: 102/101) where 726,663 fans witnessed their 1939 Cubs finish the season with a .545 winning percentage.Nicknamed “The Boys in Blue” by their ever-loyal fans, the team’s owner, chewing gum magnate William Wrigley, Jr., executed a masterstroke when he first brought the Chicago Cubs to Catalina Island for spring training in 1921.  The move brought national attention to a vacation island paradise Wrigley had owned since 1919. Nineteen Hall of Fame players trained with the Cubs on Catalina Island, including such legends of the diamond as Grover Cleveland Alexander and Dizzy Dean, who is featured in this film.  Perhaps the best known of the personalities to be a part of the Cubs on Catalina was a young radio announcer named Ronald “Dutch” Reagan who eventually went on to become President of the United States.

"Flight" was a short-lived TV series that debuted in 1958 and only lasted one year. Hosted by Gen. George C. Kenney, the program focused on dramatic tellings of stories from the chronicles of the U.S. Air Force. Production company California National also produced "The Silent Service" which profiled the Navy's submariners, and "Navy Log". This particular episode tells the story of Col. Robert Evans, who in 1947 was involved in a special Cold War mission to prove that the Air Force's new Strategic Air Command could fly to any target in Europe with minimal notice, no matter what the weather conditions. We're not 100% sure of the episode title but believe it is "Show of Force".  It was directed by Jean Yarborough, and written by Leonard Heideman aka Laurence Heath. It stars Douglas Kennedy as Col. Robert Evans, Ron Hagerthy as Capt. Tom Hughes, Chris Dark as G.C.A. Operatore, and Addison Richards as Baxter.

This episode begins with shots of Berlin during the Cold War and in particular the Berlin crisis (1:08-1:46). Berlin, Germany. Russians in Germany. Soviet troops. General Theodore Baxter talks with Col. Robert Evans of the 91st Bomb Wing (aka 91st Reconnaissance Group) in his office at the Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona.  The two discuss the situation in Berlin and the mission -- to show the Russians that the Air Force can fly anywhere in the world, in any weather, when called upon to do it (1:47-4:27). An officer takes a picture of his wife in her bathing suit near the pool when he is called to report for duty. He kisses his wife goodbye. Maintenance is performed on some planes. Col. Evans explains the situation to his men. Men load up to board a plane, two get into the cockpit (4:28-6:28). A Boeing B-2...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8bec0cc3-7379-4a5d-b961-678cf35dc481/d65d6f88-c4b4-438b-818c-a193df12c575-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ih8M2ucBRyLipLYSbZ1np8</video:player_loc><video:duration>1562</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T06:45:56.247Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tewQL9AefzjUfmGPf7YvTH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/accb9bc9-ff20-484a-bfb7-15f60ab12f5c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“THE POLICEMAN” 1954 EDUCATIONAL FILM    HIGHLAND PARK IOWA POLICE DEPARTMENT XD51484</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This 1930s black and white silent short educational film produced by FILMSETS Inc., a division of the DeVry Corporation, highlights the various industries of the Empire of Japan. The film was made post 1932, after Japan had forcibly annexed Manchuria (since the film shows images of Japanese mining operations in that region). Japan was justifiably famous for undergoing one of the fastest modernizations of any country in the world during the mid-19th century. The Empire of Japan was born out of the Meiji Restoration in 1868 and was in existence until the end of World War II. The empire was governed by an absolute monarchy and later a military dictatorship and encompassed the Japanese archipelago and several colonies, protectorates, mandates, and other territories that included parts of present day Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia and Russia’s Sakhalin Island.

This black and white instructional film from 1946 titled “Immigration” is produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films Inc. as part of their work to “bring the world to the classroom.” Made in collaboration with Dr. Henry S. Commager of Columbia University, the film details the various waves of migration to the United States by immigrants from around the world in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The film not only describes the various motivations behind these waves of immigration but also goes on to underscore the important contributions immigrants made to crafting America’s unique identity as a melting pot of the world. Throughout the 10-minute film, illustrated maps describing flows of migration are pieced together with clips of New York City and other important landmarks as well as the official processes of immigration. The film’s copyright is for the USA in 1946 under the International Copyright Union and all rights reserved under Inter-American Copyright Union (1910).

Created for the Navy and Congressional oversight, this color film from Lockheed Aircraft reports on the progress of the development of the T2V-1 SeaStar aircraft. The T2V, later called the T-1 SeaStar, was a carrier-capable jet trainer that entered service in May 1957. It was developed from the highly successful Lockheed T-33, and was powered by one Allison J33 jet engine. Compared to the T-33/TV-2, the T2V was almost totally re-engineered for carrier landings and at-sea operations and fitted with a retractable arrestor hook. Unlike other P-80 derivatives, the T2V could withstand the shock of landing on a pitching carrier deck and had a much higher ability to withstand sea water-related aircraft wear from higher humidity and salt exposure.The film dates to circa 1955/1956. 

Opening titles: T2V-1 Engineering Progress Report No. 10972, Phase IV, prepared by Lockheed (:08-:24). The T2V-1 SeaStar prototype in the sky, tail #N125D. A full scale mockup of the aircraft's landing gear system was created in the laboratory at Lockheed's facility in California. A landing gear wheel wheel comes down and is tested. A man enters a sub-zero degree environmental chamber, dressed in a heavy parka or jacket. Two men examine the arresting gear snubber assembly, subjected to a mechanical test. The T2V-1 prototype is on the runway (:25-2:42). A member of the test team looks at data gathering equipment mounted on the side of the T2V-1. Inside the instrument panel shows angle of attack. Brake steering test. Nose gear steering system. T2V-1 prototype on the tarmac. T2V-1 starts moving. T2V-1 comes in for a landing in slow motion. T2V-1 moves in a circle on the runway (2:43- 4:52).

This sound film was shot by filmmaker Norman Schley sometime in the late 1940s / early 1950s (probably 1950). It shows activities at Williams Air Force Base in Maricopa County, Arizona, east of Chandler. The footage is "raw" and basically unedited, but was apparently shot by Schley in anticipation of making a longer film about the Acrojets -- a U.S. Air Force aerobatics / acrobatic team that preceded the Thunderbirds. Officially known as the USAF Fighter School Acrojets demonstration team, the group flew four Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star planes and later - the training version aka Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star. The Acrojets were the first official demonstration team of USAF, the first demonstration team to take to the skies after World War II, and the first which flew jets. The first team included only flight instructors: Maj. Howard Jensen as the (also called the F-80) leader (11:24), Lt. Michael Smolen (11:53) as left wing,  Capt. Jones E. Bolt (12:10) as right wing, Maj. Walter K. "Lefty" Selenger in the slot and Capt. Robert Tomlinson as the spare pilot. In 1951, four of the "Acrojets" team pilots were reassigned to Korean War units and only Michael Smolen stayed at the Fighter School to recruit new "Acrojets" pilots. During the production of the 1951 film "Air Cadet", the "Acrojets" flew many of the flying sequences and Lt. Smolen was the technical advisor for the film. The Acrojets were disbanded in 1953, the same year the Thunderbirds came into existence. The Thunderbirds show still uses a maneuver pioneered by the "Acrojets": the now well known "bomb-burst" maneuver followed by a crossing maneuver. Though the history of the Acrojets was short, their impact was immense.  Their aer...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2a1e6c07-d70e-47b0-9fde-82e859238c67/f3ea06a3-7180-47b8-a8d9-2f14f329fca3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6cEd8ztcxcf78bYLwi1ja6</video:player_loc><video:duration>793</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T06:52:09.803Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jAHhsNWhVpz4xvNU6ka4zY</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f84527de-b5ed-4cac-9345-279dcce28d81.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1973 LAW ENFORCEMENT / POLICE TRAINING FILM “PATROL PROCEDURES PART 3: CRIMES IN PROGRESS” XD39714</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

One of over thirty police training films produced by Murray Woroner and Woroner Films, "Crimes In Progress: Patrol Procedures III" was made in 1973. It was intended to be used as a training tool for law enforcement. (Note: to a modern viewer, some of the content, particularly including depictions of persons of color in the, may seem stereotypical and/or offensive.) The film displays multiple scenarios of crimes in progress such as an ongoing burglary or night prowler incident and the best method for law enforcement to handle these incidences effectively. It opens with a note informing viewers of dramatic and potentially controversial content which is designed to be such as way so to provoke group discussion (:08). The film is presented by Motorola Teleprogram Center (:28) and produced by Woroner Films (:43). It was created with the cooperation of the Tennessee State Law Enforcement Academy as well as a slew of police departments across the country including the Miami PD (:50). A report is heard over the radio (:55) as two men break into a mortgage company (2:03). A woman whom had just left the building; probably an employee, notices she forgot something (2:11). As she returns she catches the men breaking into the building (2:18). A man walks his dog in a neighborhood at night (2:34) acting suspicious and appearing to scout one of homes. Two officers from Miami, Florida are seen sitting at a diner high top bar awaiting calls (3:28). At a Gulf gas station (4:11) an employee checks his gas tanks. Reports of crime are taken over the phone in the police station (4:22). The woman whom had witnessed a breaking and entering incident calls the department from a phone booth (4:48).

The film focuses on the transmission's design, ease of use and touts the torque it provides. The film attempts to explain the mechanical and hydraulic action of the automatic transmission, by metaphorically comparing it to the power of Niagara Falls -- thus the title "Niagara on Wheels".  Copyright 1950. The Powerglide is a two-speed automatic transmission designed by General Motors. It was available primarily on Chevrolet from January 1950 through 1973. The original 1950-51 Powerglide transmissions did not automatically shift between low and high (direct drive) which made for very sluggish take-offs and many drivers started in "Low" and shifted to "Drive" at about 30–40 mph (48–64 km/h). The 1953 and later units when in "Drive" started in low and automatically up shifted to high at a speed determined by the throttle opening. By the mid-1950s, more than half of all new Chevrolets were sold with Powerglide.

Opening: Your Chevrolet Dealer presents Niagara on Wheels (:08-:21). Niagara Falls, New York. Power of the water, and a look at the water driven hydro-electric turbines that power homes.

One of a series of films intended to be used as training tools for law enforcement and educators, this film "Law in the School" presents a dramatic narrative set at a California high school. It was produced by the California Attorney General's Office through a grant by the California Council on Criminal Justice. In the film, social tensions (and possibly gang affiliations) lead to fights on the grounds of a high school. As the violence increases, and the principal and teachers are faced with parents demanding a safe school, the question of what can be done is brought front and center. Notably, the student body is portrayed as a mix of African American and white students (with white teachers and principal). California’s political climate in the 1960’s and early 70s was tumultuous as gang violence increased throughout the state and protests erupted on school grounds as part of the Anti-Vietnam War movement. In addition, desegregation had just been completed a decade prior. This film does feature some racially unsound qualities. Much of the gang violence is students of color against other students of color. The narrator of the film is Telly Savalas (2:10); a well known film star mostly recognizable from his role in ‘Kojak’ as Lt. Theo Kojak airing on television from 1973 to 1978. The film dates to 1974, and features many Black students with Afros and quite a bit of denim.  

The film begins at a high school parking lot somewhere in Los Angeles. White students get into a fight (2:24). The Principal is already on the phone discussing a recent fight, when he receives another call about the ongoing incident in the lot (3:09). The Principal breaks up the fight without filing a police report...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8bd127cf-0cc5-4e5c-9f72-2e6ab4c4ecc7/56dc5e27-2dbd-4ade-8ae7-ff59edc1b7b9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/igo8TaMk5u93EPraocWtCT</video:player_loc><video:duration>1846</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T06:55:32.865Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aML97J2BQTFndHigVdPeG7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/30fa25c1-831e-4f48-82f0-888ba3246315.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Conspiracies and Coverups S1E4 - The Great COVID Conspiracy [extended cut]</video:title><video:description>Conspiracies &amp; Coverups (Discovery, 2026)

This film is presented by Pictorial Films Inc (:17) and dates to the late 1940s. The film shows Santa Clara del Cobre in Michoacán, Mexico, focusing on the culture and craft of copper and silver artisans. Traditional metal working in Mexico dates back to the Mesoamerican period. The film opens with images of copper plates and silver (:35). The film turns to the village of Santa Clara (1:13) to show copper scrapings being used to make pots and pans. Scrap is melted down over wooden fires (1:21) and formed into flat disks which will be pounded down (1:30). In order to keep the copper soft and pliable, heat must be consistently applied (2:25). The rim of a pot is smoothed down (2:38). Wire is inserted around the rim (2:41). The pots are set into flames (3:12) and buried in the dirt in order to receive a permanent finish (3:28). Handles are fashioned onto the pots (4:07). The production of silver is then turned to as molten metals are poured as a liquid (5:06). A silver bullion is converted into a flat plate (5:32). Pieces of silver are placed under rollers (5:59). Machinery molds the metals into fruit bowls (6:43) and candle sticks. A silversmith works with a steel pointed stylus (7:12). Silver is formed into coffee cups (8:18) and seashell trinkets (8:57). The film begins to wrap up with intricate designs completed on the silver pieces (9:35).

This reel of silent 16mm film footage shows tests of two groundbreaking, gyroscopically stabilized vehicles. The first part of the film shows a cargo carrier developed for the U.S. Forest Service. The second part, starting at about 13:30, shows footage of an experimental car called the Gyro-X.

The film starts with shots of the unpainted, prototype cargo carrier at 1:00.  This innovative machine was designed by an inventor and MIT grad named Herbert Harris. Harris spent part of his early career working for the U.S Forest Service, maintaining and building trails across the wilderness. That effort typically involved using mules or pack horses. Later, as director of the Forest Service's Equipment Development Center in Missoula, Montana, Harris contacted engineer Tom Summers. Development of a gyroscopically stabilized trail maintenance vehicle began under Summers' supervision in 1961.  By 1965, two gyro-stabilized cargo carrier prototypes or "trail trucks" were complete. The machines used gasoline powered engines built by Onan. Each had four wheels: two main and two stabilizers (these would retract once enough momentum was gained to keep the vehicle upright).

This reel of silent 16mm film footage shows tests of a groundbreaking, gyroscopically stabilized, cargo carrying vehicle. This innovative machine was designed by an inventor and MIT grad named Herbert Harris. Harris spent part of his early career working for the U.S Forest Service, maintaining and building trails across the wilderness. That effort typically involved using mules or pack horses, but Harris believed there could be a better way. Later, as director of the Forest Service's Equipment Development Center in Missoula, Montana, Harris contacted engineer Tom Summers. Development of a gyroscopically stabilized trail maintenance vehicle began under Summers' supervision in 1961. The company behind the enterprise was called the Summers Gyrocar Co., a subsidiary of Gyro Dynamics Inc. By 1965, two gyro-stabilized cargo carrier prototypes or "trail trucks" were completed. The machines used gasoline powered engines built by Onan. Each had four wheels: two main and two stabilizer wheels. These would retract once enough momentum was gained to keep the vehicle upright. Controls were located on the rear of the machine. Each had a cargo bed that was approximately 3x4 feet. The vehicles featured stabilizer wheels raise and lower them.  

As you can see in the film, the cargo carriers underwent testing on roads and mountain trails near Missoula. After initial testing, the second prototype model (seen throughout the film) was given a fresh coat of yellow paint and revealed to the public in Missoula in July, 1967. It was touted as the first gyroscopically-stabilized land vehicle on record. At 2:02, the vehicle is shown operating without a human operator, and at 3:26 the driver shows how easy it i...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e2b5d91b-0e8f-4655-b988-6b7ff55e3b1c/20459bec-e26b-47a8-8f7b-3951702ca59e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tZHHBSrgQCwgZwKUFFkCTW</video:player_loc><video:duration>507</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T07:00:04.932Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hJ34qk3MM9qgnmaABskaRt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6897c52f-247b-40cf-b245-0a2428f96d1b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"FROM JACK TARS TO WHITE HATS"  HISTORY OF U.S. NAVY UNIFORM  1776-1958  BELL BOTTOMS  89494</video:title><video:description>This black &amp; white U.S. Navy film is about the Navy uniform and its evolution over the decades.

Produced and directed by John Ford, who risked his life to make it, this famous U.S. Navy documentary film is titled “The Battle Of Midway” chronicles one of the major naval battles in the Pacific Theater of World War II. The Battle of Midway took place on 4-7 June 1942, six months after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor and one month after the Battle of the Coral Sea. Released by the United States Navy in Technicolor, this film highlights the military prowess of the United States and the brave sacrifice made by its military men to achieve victory. The film shows elements of the U.S. Navy under the command of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Frank J. Fletcher, and Raymond A. Spruance in their battle against the Imperial Japanese Navy under the command of Admirals Isoroku Yamamoto, Chuichi Nagumo, and Nobutake Kondo. The Battle of Midway Atoll Island sought to intercept an attack by the Japanese heading to Hawaii or the West Coast of America. In total, the battle was a decisive USA victory and claimed the lives of 3,057 Japanese and 307 Americans. Four Japanese and three American aircraft carriers participated in the battle. The four Japanese fleet carriers—Akagi, Kaga, Sōryū, and Hiryū, part of the six-carrier force that had attacked Pearl Harbor six months earlier—were sunk, as was the heavy cruiser Mikuma. The U.S. lost the carrier Yorktown and the destroyer Hammann, while the carriers USS Enterprise and USS Hornet survived the battle fully intact. The film makes it a point to not just highlight the victories of the American combatants, but to applaud American citizens working in war-time factories to provide the servicemen with their battle arsenal of aircrafts and machiner...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3cd6448e-c952-48fa-9120-98090821867d/1db25a6f-8ad5-4d63-9299-38c5d3d68201-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8vHKmPMcdaZG8Fkoc5W2Yr</video:player_loc><video:duration>566</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T07:00:08.983Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wiXHVEPk17Jv7bnkPCQZeM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f57856f5-5879-46f1-91e7-7c8ad89e4db7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII CAPTURE OF GERMAN U-BOAT U-505   RAW COLOR FOOTAGE  JUNE 4, 1944  XD31281</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This raw, silent film footage tells an astonishing story, one of the most interesting U.S. Navy actions of WWII: the capture of a German U-boat on the high seas.  On June 4, 1944, an American anti-submarine squadron accomplished an incredible feat, capturing the German U-boat U-505 and all hands.  This film celebrates the achievement and explains how it happened.  It certainly wasn't a fluke.  Commander Daniel Gallery, of the USS Guadalcanal, was convinced he could surface and capture an enemy submarine, and he drilled his crews in the art of boarding.  When the aircraft carrier USS Guadalcanal (CVE-60) and its destroyer escorts, USS Pillsbury (DE-133), USS Pope (DE-134), USS Flaherty (DE-135), USS Chatelain (DE-149) and USS Jenks (DE-665), got a contact, they worked in close concert to achieve the capture.  German submarine commander Harald Lange and his crew were neatly captured, and their boat towed to Bermuda.  Today this Type IXC U-boat rests in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, a nice war prize delivered in style by the U.S. Navy.

This silent footage begins post-capture, with shots aboard the USS Guadalcanal. At :16, a wounded German sailor is brought aboard the ship in a litter. At :58, German prisoners are brought up onto the deck. At 1:30, lookouts peer out towards the escort fleet and the captured U-505, which is visible at 2:15. At 2:49 the crippled submarine is seen up close. At 3:44, German prisoners are given a bath by sailors. At 5:11, another injured German sailor is brought up to the deck of the ship. At 5:42, wide shot of the USS Guadalcanal as seen from another vessel. At 5:51, German prisoners are seen on the carrier. At 8:16, calisthenics are performed on the deck of the ship. At 8:35, the U-boat wallows in the sea as TBD Avenger aircraft circle overhead. At 9:12, a German crewman in a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f57424f1-ec71-4bc9-9a21-66f0234dc383/608cf067-2a6e-4318-bf06-fc4451b247f4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wiXHVEPk17Jv7bnkPCQZeM</video:player_loc><video:duration>677</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T07:00:42.474Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ezPQCyAwbyDcPe1gske12H</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2c840e91-9580-40bd-9990-d90fedf532f7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE BIG PICTURE - BATTLE OF MANILA"   1945 PHILIPPINE CAMPAIGN  GEN.

This black &amp; white film, one of the episode of the U.S. Army's "The Big Picture" TV show, is about the battle for Manila, Philippines in 1945 during WW2. Copyright 1959. The Battle of Manila (3 February – 3 March 1945)  was the scene of the worst urban fighting in the Pacific theater. Japanese forces committed mass murder against Filipino civilians during the battle. Along with massive loss of life, the battle also destroyed architectural and cultural heritage dating back to the city's founding, and Manila became one of the most devastated capital cities during the entire war, alongside Berlin and Warsaw. The battle ended the almost three years of Japanese military occupation in the Philippines (1942–1945). The city's capture was marked as General Douglas MacArthur's key to victory in the campaign of reconquest. 

Opening: The U.S. Army Presents THE BIG PICTURE (:06-:34). This particular episode starts with a human interest story -- a policeman and a civilian was going to give a parking ticket to, discover they are connected by the battle for Manila during WWII. The police officer was a civilian prisoner of the Japanese at Santo Tomas Internment Camp, who was liberated by the other man's unit in 1944. The two sit and have coffee (2:08-5:10). The two men continue to talk. American troops land at Leyte in the Philippines and advance. They land on the beach, push inland. Air support drops bombs on key targets, explosions seen from the air.

This elaborate 1970s film "Grand Tour" promotes Pan American World Airways. The airline takes viewers on short tours through London, Paris, Florence and Rome, with each segment featuring a different individual. Pan Am at the time was the largest international air carrier in the world. The film was created by screen writer Ann Eisner, and directed by Lee Bobker, founder of Vision Associates.

The film opens with a shot of a 747 passenger plane (Pan Am was the launch customer of the Boeing 747, placing a $525 million order for 25 in April 1966.) The traditional symbol for the airline; the globe with “Pan Am’ written across is captured on the tail. Big Ben appears at (:17). Another famed icon of London is the AEC Routemaster (:30); the brilliant red double decker bus. The first scene opens with a woman called “Alannah Tandy” discussing the style and life in London (1:19). A montage ensues of modern London streets with colorful and fashionable inhabitants moving through the streets and shops (1:35). The film turns to old London (2:20). A dairy shop; rebuilt in 1667, hangs within the narrow alley pointing to the rich history of the area (2:25).

This film consists of "dailies" shot by Norman Schley, a skilled filmmaker from Wisconsin who made travelogues. Here Schley captures the short lived amusement park known as Freedomland USA, sights in New York City and Boston, Massachusetts. 

Freedomland USA was located in the Bronx, New York. It closed down in 1964, after only four years of operation, due to competition from the New York World’s Fair and mismanagement of finances. The park contained costumed guests and over forty attractions. It was to act as an East coast Disneyland. The developer, Cornelius Wood also helped to build and manage Disney. Today the only remaining piece of the park is a bronze commemorative plaque. 

This film provides viewers with an up close peek into the park. It opens with aerial shots (:15) and small train cars taking guests into the park (:32). State seals are pictured over the park entryway (:55). A yellow trolley bus (1:04) passes in front of the Continental National Insurance building (1:05). Harbor tug boats with names like ‘Pert’ and ‘Tootsie’ deliver guests to the dock (1:23). Guests enjoy patio side refreshments (1:40). Employees are seen dressed as noblemen (2:16). Tourists snap photographs (2:35). Two horses pull a trolley through the park (2:49). A small brass band parades (2:59). The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 is depicted (3:45). Guests look at a map of the park which is shaped like the USA (3:53). The western themed area (4:04). A sign for the Pony Express Calvary Station (4:34).

Trailer for "Boy! What a Girl!", a 1947 film made primarily for African American audiences by Herald Pictures. The one hour long film, which was originally planned to be the first in a series of twelve all Black cast films, was directed by Arthur H. Leonard and stars vaudeville comedian Tim Moore (later to become famous as the "Kingfish" from Amos n' Andy), with guest appearances by Deek Watson and His Brown Dots, Slam Stewart, 'Big' Sid Catlett and his band, Ann Cornell and the International Jitterbugs, and Gene Krupa (the only Anglo cast member). The film included the song "Satchel Mouth Baby" performed by pianist Mary Lou Williams and Betti Mays singing "Crazy Riffin’" by Walter Gil Fuller. The fairly thin plot of the movie centered around two producers, who are trying to get financial backing for their musical show. Ironically, the cost "Boy" -- which press materials indicated was four times the normal budget for a race film -- might have almost sunk Herald Pictures.  The company apparently released a 1948 film called "Miracle in Harlem" and 1947's "Sepia Cinderella" before disappearing off the face of the earth.
   
Note: after Tim Moore became well known for his role on Amos 'n Andy, "Boy What a Girl" was re-released with the new tagline "'Kingfish' of Comedy. Queen of the Show."

This documentary film takes a look at the missionary work of Gordon and Laura Smith in Cambodia and Vietnam. Rev. Gordon and Laura Smith arrived in Vietnam in 1929 and stayed there until 1973, when they had to leave due to health problems. Their church remained active, albeit underground, until 1975. 

This film, one of several the couple was involved in, gives a rare look at the Smith's missionary work and the lives of the hill tribespeople. At the time the film was made, the Southeast Asian nations were still French colonies.  This film was created by the Christian &amp; Missionary Alliance (:15). The title screen appears at (:29). It was distributed by C. O. Baptista Films (1:06). The missionary alliance took a trip in 1929 to Cambodia (1:34). In 1934 they sought to transcribe the Bible into their two most popular languages (2:26) though they had to leave during the Japanese invasion of 1941. They were able to return to the jungles after the war in 1947. The troupe is shown arriving at Saigon (4:10) for their third term of service. The 23-foot crate containing their plane is lifted from its transport (4:37). It is then seen being set up for use (5:14). They arrive at their destination, the village of Banmethuot (5:53) where some of the indigenous people here are captured on film (5:59). Traditional homes are shown to be raised high above the ground on stilts (6:14). Aerial footage follows taken from the missionaries’ plane (6:27). Rubber, tea and coffee plantations exists throughout the area (7:30) as natives pick away at tea leaves. Gordon inspected the pods containing coffee beans (8:19). Rubber trees cover thousands of square miles here (8:31). A tribe member rides atop an elephant (8:57). A young monkey feeds from a bottle of condensed milk (9:37). A baby gibbon ape climbs through trees (11:15). The same ape is shown...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/71eee2f5-ff04-40d6-9c60-0d1258d14982/6ca98a95-9f76-49e4-adeb-b7b01f3787d3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/f4ZXczX3Ejvb9qeLLpmm1A</video:player_loc><video:duration>2117</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T07:05:23.027Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fm4V8ZPvwPA3EVarrzVxs7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fa992381-8978-4da6-93e2-d124eb557e44.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s APOLLO PROGRAM PRELIMINARY LUNAR EXCURSION MODULE MOBILITY TEST IN WATER TANK XD47104</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Note: this film was rescued from long term storage. It is not in perfect condition. 

This silent film from NASA contractor General Dynamics entitled "Preliminary LEM EVA Experiment", shows divers in a swimming pool or tank attempting to maneuver through a confined space with a simulated package. The test likely took place prior to 1967, when NASA stopped referring to the Apollo "Lunar Excursion Module" (LEM) and changed the name to the Lunar Module (LM). These tests were apparently intended to simulate the zero-G movement of astronauts and equipment from the Command Module (CM) into the LEM. At 5:29 and 9:29, a camera points through a glass window into the experimental tank, revealing how the film was made. At 8:37, a simulated package is moved through the simulated docking space, with the "astronaut" pulling the package behind him so as to minimize having his body in the way of the package. The shots at 14:50 show in detail how an astronaut might easily move equipment in zero gravity, using his legs as a clamp. 

General Dynamics / Convair was one of the original three contractors to receive NASA funds to study the feasibility of the proposed Apollo Program.

Silent, high speed test film showing the proposed escape system for the S-3A Viking conducted at China Lake Naval Weapon Center in 1971. Some of the film shows a sequenced double ejection; the production aircraft was capable of a four person (the entire crew) near simultaneous ejection (see below).

The Lockheed S-3 Viking is a 4-crew, twin-engine turbofan-powered jet aircraft that was used by the U.S. Navy (USN) primarily for anti-submarine warfare. During the production run from 1974 to 1978, a total of 186 S-3As were built. All crew members in the Viking sit on forward-facing, upward-firing Douglas Escapac zero-zero ejection seats. In "group eject" mode, initiating ejection from either of the front seat ejects the entire crew in sequence, with the back seats ejecting 0.5 seconds before the front in order to provide safe separation

Made during WWII to train ground personnel, this film shows the proper way to prepare cargo for air transport, and how to load a transport aircraft. It also shows the role of the Air Transportation Officer in confirming that aircraft are loaded properly. The planes shown are the Curtiss C-46 Commando, and Douglas C-47 Skytrain and C-53 Skytrooper transports. (A C-53 is simply a DC-3 that was specifically designed for military service. Unlike the C-47 it does not have big cargo doors, a reinforced floor, or beefy landing gear.) The film was made by the Air Transport Command of the U.S. Army Air Forces and is copyright 1943.

This film from 1980 takes a look at Ford's attempt (beginning in 1974) to produce an economical "world war" -- a car that can be sold in both Europe and North America. The model vehicle unveiled at the start of the film is the Ford "Escort" and Mercury "Lynx". 

The film opens with headlights moving down a foggy highway (:16). A Ford Escort takes slow smooth bends on the road (:53) and moves through flooded roads with ease. This film will show the automobile company, Ford and how they sought to create a car which would appeal to consumers across the globe (1:01). The Ford Test Track in Michigan is visited by American and Canadian reporters (1:33). Notable racecar driver, Jackie Stewart is mentioned on a sign above “Fuel Economy Gran Prix” (1:46). Test drivers and reporters sit within the front seat of the 1980’s Ford Escort (1:54). Civilians and pedestrians move throughout the grounds of the car show (2:00). Images follow of Ford’s product development building (2:14). During the 1980’s a fuel shortage began which added an extra challenge to vehicle manufacturers as mileage became key. The Ford Design Center is pointed to (2:57). Designers are seen hard at work within the building (3:37). The Fiesta is depicted as having been one of the most successful cars to hit the European market (3:52). The Cyber 176 is a massive time-sharing computer system (4:51). Ford used technologies discovered during the NASA era for their own purposes. Ford’s top executives meet over a ‘worldwide engine’ (5:50). In the late 1970’s a Dearborn Mission Plant was gutted and rebuilt (7:10). The outer expanse of this building follows (7:18). Ford was beginning to seek new methods to burn fuel (7:32). The engine block is zoomed in on to show where the valves fit in (8:14). ‘Erika’ was...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6e902d4a-edd3-486b-958f-5e40cef29e50/e5e5885e-468f-41d0-8146-2b65a57361ab-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eDS4TdUrET9oPAX7P7Rkp7</video:player_loc><video:duration>1531</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T07:07:11.019Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1959bzJn78L2ks9NG8dbdE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/01c2e97d-025f-4a4b-bf8c-7d07d6036bab.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Support Periscope Film's Preservation Efforts through Patreon !</video:title><video:description>For almost 20 years, Periscope Film has been preserving historic 8mm, 16mm and 35mm films and making them available to the public. We're not talking about "Gone With the Wind" or "Nosferatu" — but ephemeral films. These range from commercially made non-fiction productions such as industrials and travelogues, to home movies and U.S. government made educational, military and training films. Our films are made available to the public for free viewing on Youtube and other websites, and we provide them to content creators as stock footage for their projects. Our company came about because, right around the year 2000, we noticed that many libraries and other institutions were throwing away their films as "obsolete" and "irrelevant". With each reel of film destroyed, so vanished a potential window into the past. Between then and now, we know our nation has lost a great deal of history on celluloid — but we've managed to save some of it. What initially started as a hobby has now grown into something more, and today we're proud to serve as a resource not only for filmmakers and artists, but for students, artists, and researchers all over the world. 

Today we continue to acquire, preserve and make available to the public endangered non-fiction films. Your support will help offset some of the affiliated costs which include acquisition, restoration, digital transfer and backup, and storage.

This film, which apparently was made for retailers such as grocery store managers, focuses on the efforts of the company known as Meadow Gold to promote its products, including point-of-sale displays. Meadow Gold is a well-known dairy company which still operates (as part of Dean Foods) across the western USA. 

The film opens with a title screen (:19). Some of the products offered are shown (:47) including ice cream and milk. Meadow Gold sought to vamp up their merchandizing campaign (1:30) as a plant sales manager is seen with an employee who performs in store demonstrations and samplings. Meadow Gold preferred to use their own employees versus contracting an outside source for marketing or merchandizing purposes. The pair go over products (1:50). The Demonstrators Report Form was used as a tool during the demonstrations (2:30). The sales manager is seen in the dairy aisle at the local grocery store (2:58) with the store’s manager. They go over reports of sales of Meadow Gold’s products (3:23). One book is zoomed in on which has records dating back five years (3:50). An employee offers a Meadow Gold Ice Cream sampling to a young mother and child in the market (4:27). Meadow Gold advertisements are set throughout the grocery store (4:39). She then samples an ice cream cone for another customer (5:19). A combination package is displayed for consumers (6:12). A balloon artist works to shape balloons for a balloon demonstration to attract customers in the store (6:38). A mass display is shown (7:00) to be one of the more useful methods of advertisement. A customer walks by and tries a sample from one of the cartons in the display (7:42). A Meadow Gold employee sets up a display carefully (8:37). The film breaks down the best way to set up a product display...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d06f0593-7cad-454b-92f4-6ac1dfcec897/5698cdbe-c1cc-49dd-958d-f887aab92f43-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rJPz9jWKafZcQ6Up14aTZH</video:player_loc><video:duration>1568</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T07:07:56.562Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2X5aCxaM949Uhs8Nrjnnrf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1b127d53-3558-4908-9c05-88baa7f1e8b3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"TARGET FOR TONIGHT"  1941 WWII ROYAL AIR FORCE WELLINGTON BOMBER RAID ON GERMANY FILM    21184</video:title><video:description>Released in 1941, "Target for Tonight" is a Crown Film Unit documentary directed by Harry Watt. The movie -- which uses obvious re-enactments, some model and process shots and some degree of acting -- shows the crew of a Wellington bomber nicknamed "F For Freddie" preparing for, and taking part in, a nighttime raid over Occupied Europe and Germany. Despite the fact that the movie isn't entirely non-fiction, the film was awarded an honorary Oscar for Best Documentary in 1942.  

The Royal Air Force engaged almost exclusively in night time bombing raids during WWII, after daylight raids proved extremely costly. The American Army Air Force preferred daylight attacks, although in 1943 as losses mounted they were called off for a time. Notably, an American documentary counterpart from WWII is entitled, "Target for Today".  

The Vickers Wellington bomber shown in the film was a long-range medium bomber designed during the mid-1930s. Led by Vickers-Armstrongs' chief designer Rex Pierson; a key feature of the aircraft is its geodetic airframe fuselage structure, which was principally designed by Barnes Wallis.  The Wellington was used as a night bomber in the early years of  WWII, but was eventually superceded by larger four-engined "heavies" such as the Avro Lancaster. The Wellington then continued to serve in other capactities, particularly as an anti-submarine platform.

This film focuses on the shale industry and in particular was made to promote the Colony Shale Oil Project. The film also discusses the modern need for energy and power as well as the toll it was already taking on the earth’s natural resources. The Colony Shale Oil Project was located at the Piceance Basin near Parachute Creek, Colorado. The project consisted of an oil shale mine and pilot-scale shale oil plant, which used the TOSCO II retorting technology, developed by Tosco  (The Oil Shale COrporation) Corporation. Over time the project was developed by a consortium of different companies until it was terminated by Exxon on 2 May 1982 a day which is known amongst locals as "Black Sunday".  During its existence the project produced 270 thousand barrels (43×103 m3) of shale oil.   

The film was written by Marjorie Hirsch and photographed by Barbe and William Clark. It opens with images of a jogger taking a run through a park (:12), little league players at their posts (:17) and winter scenes of kids at play (:19) as the narrator discuses energy and power. Shale oil industry workers near a furnace (:56). The molten material is collected in a large rail car (1:09). Scenes of busy city streets and window displays follow as the population and standard of living had increased putting more strain on the energy industry (1:29). The constant need for energy and power vs nature’s limited resources is touched upon as farm machinery press bales of hay together (1:54). A traffic cop guides vehicles (2:05) which require petroleum. A 747-passenger airplane moves on a runway as another example of transportation which would not be possible without the oil industry (2:08). Kitchen appliances which are necessary for the comforts of day to day living are shown (2:17). Picturesque landscape shots follow showing where the power for modern ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/937ee38c-3d90-4aad-8fa0-c81f5ded9dc3/ef07de43-d86a-4914-a464-3fa850702260-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jdnRvp4oqZF1qtHqbyrv5x</video:player_loc><video:duration>921</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T07:08:51.563Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t4ei2oEA5A4ciLddBUGahh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/09ec6a4d-6936-4065-a356-d8548c415d28.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"SOUTH AMERICAN VISTA  1941 SOUTH AMERICA TRAVELOGUE PERU, BRAZIL, ARGENTINA  BUENOS AIRES RIO 86244</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Police cars zoom onto the scene (:50). A flash back segment shows the driver drinking alcohol with coworkers (1:02) as they follow him with more booze as he slips into the driver’s seat. He places blame on the young girl by telling the police that she had come out of nowhere (1:11).

Directed by William Wyler and John Sturges in 1944, "Thunderbolt" shows the air battles that raged over Italy during World War II. It focuses on the life and death struggle of a P-47 Thunderbolt fighter-bomber squadron in the 12th Air Force. In addition to showing how the pilots' activities seriously crippled the German military's fighting ability, hastening the sweep of Allied forces into Rome, the film also shows the suffering of non-combatants on the ground.  The narrators are Lloyd Bridges and Eugene Kern, music by Gail Kubik, script by Lester Koenig. Note: this version of the film was released in 1961 and features a special introduction by Jimmy Stewart, which was shot in 1947. Stewart was a licensed amateur pilot prior to WWII and who enlisted in the Army Air Forces shortly after Pearl Harbor was bombed.  

The specific aerial operations shown are part of Operation Strangle, when flyers of the Twelfth Air Force (based in the island of Corsica) made a series of attacks on Axis supply lines. The attacks were made against the Gustav Line and forces arrayed against the Anzio beachhead; the specific attack shown in the film is said to resemble a mission flown on May 1, 1944, against a railroad tunnel at Rignano sull'Arno. Pilot Lt. Col. Gilbert O. Wymond Jr., who appears in the film, was awarded the Silver Star for his gallant work during that mission. His plane the "Hun Hunter XIV" is prominently featured. "Thunderbolt" follows the 57th Fighter Group of the U.S. 12th Air Force during World War II as they operate from Corsica to support the Italian campaign. Using P-47 Thunderbolt fighter-bombers, the group carries out Operation Strangle—an effort to cut off German supply lines by destroying bridges, railways, and convoys. The film highlights the daily lives of pilots and ground crews, the intensity of combat missions, and the personal toll of ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3006ff0c-15cd-4fdf-9556-5b54843f1542/cb303684-9a7a-45b7-88d9-ff9d433617e0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6VYB1i2TSwhARMLZHgsgWb</video:player_loc><video:duration>2533</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T07:28:44.087Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wbxHTxXHJ8hGDmqM933fpr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/efe301ac-a563-4ec5-865e-4a015f7e638c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THUNDERBOLT" WWII AIR COMBAT DOCUMENTARY   ITALIAN CAMPAIGN  12th AIR FORCE  COLOR VERSION 21134</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

The end of the film focuses on the Italian aggression in Ethiopia and the Spanish Civil War, which was raging at the time the film was made. The conflict threatened to become international in scope, as Germany openly supported the Nationalist forces with air power. The film was produced by Front Page Productions.

This color film is a portion of David Brinkley's Journal of Christmas from 1963. It profiles the United States' "Food for Peace Program" and its impact in the slums of Lima, Peru. The film follows a school boy named Mario who, along with other children in his school, receives food aid as part of the program. It features a few shots of Jack Smith, an American wheat farmer who helped inspire the program, and American musician Jim Symington at 9:27, speaking about the conditions in the shantytown. (Symington served as the Deputy Director of the Kennedy Administration's Food For Peace program and, according to his bio, played his guitar and sang in barrio and countryside throughout Latin America.)

The film traces the impact that proper nutrition, in the form of American rice and grain, has on children who are malnourished. The goal of the program is in part to persuade local communities to shoulder responsibility, and as part of this aspect, at 11:20, a school kitchen is shown being constructed by villagers. At 11:50, couples are inspired to be married, and the ceremony is performed by a Catholic priest. A wedding party follows with Symington performing a song.

The Food for Peace program still exists, and has provided food assistance around the world for more than 60 years. Approximately 3 billion people in 150 countries have benefited. The origins of the program date to 1954 when Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy termed the law "Food for Peace," stating, "Food is strength, and food is peace, and food is freedom, and food is a helping hand to people around the world whose goodwill and friendship we want."

Made by 21st Cinetics and Billy Budd Films for the Morris County, Pennsylvania Division of Drug Control and Intervention, "Holy Smoke in Three Acts" is an unconventional anti-drug cartoon that was inspired by ideas put forth by students. The animation were created by R.J. Barcklow.

 The short, three-act animated film presents two artists and examines how the world around them influences their artwork. Both of the artists are influenced by drugs, drug use and the anti-drug campaign. The first act (:56) shows the artwork of a young girl who creates based upon the world around her. Although she does not personally have an issue with drug use, she sees drugs everywhere (1:38) therefore she paints the various types on drugs in stack formation. Next to the stack of illicit drugs, she paints the side effects of using such drugs including abscess and brain damage (1:58). The second act shows an artist who is constantly bombarded with anti-drug slogans and threats (4:12). This campaign of threat of punishment combined with a rather rigid and machine-like world left the boy feeling trapped and frustrated (4:12). The two artists then decide to come together to create a world they believed to be better in the third act of the film (5:44). An image of positive words stacking atop one another demonstrates their idea of a world which no one might feel the need to escape (5:58).

Directed by Don Dickerson, this educational film "Drugs: The First Decision" depicts the widespread use of prescription drugs to treat illnesses as well as the misuse and abuse of those drugs. It opens with images of prescription drugs being measured out to be given to patients by a pharmacist (:27). A boy lies on the ground in the play ground after misusing these same drugs as a teacher sprints to check on him (:38).  Newspaper clippings appear to show the widespread drug problem (1:02). A montage follows of youth offering each other drugs (1:38) including one boy sniffing glue. Peer pressure is shown as children somersault down a hill one after another demonstrating the idea that if your peers are all doing one thing you may be more likely to follow suit (1:47). At the back of a school playground, a young boy passes out drugs (2:03). One young girl tells viewers of how she had first tried drugs at the age of eleven (2:42). Youth are also more likely to try drugs if their siblings have as well (3:01). Actual interviews follow of young teens describing their drug use (3:46) and why they chose to use the first time. One specifically mentions the difficulty in remaining sober at school (6:07). The film then turns to show positive and healthy alternatives to using drugs (7:14). The film was distributed by BFA (8:10).

This film from the British Act / Fact series recounts January 1st, 1945 -- New Year's Day -- when Allied aircraft faced a surprise onslaught of German fighters raiding their bases in Belgium and Holland. Anti-aircraft crews raced into action. Many Allied aircraft were hit on the ground before they could scramble into the air. At 2;02, Royal Air Force Spitfires, Typhoons and Tempests are sent to intercept the German planes, and fighter support for bombing raids is diverted to staunch the bleeding (2:24). At 2:29, an unescorted B-17 Flying Fortress comes under attack. The air battle that resulted (3:37) turns out to be one of the greatest air to air battles of the war, unrivaled perhaps by all except the Battle of Britain. At 4:03, gun camera footage shows German aircraft being shot from the sky. At 4:56, a German plane is pursued for miles by British aircraft, who finally score a kill. At 5:13, wrecked German aircraft are shown. The narrator muses about Germany's lack of tactical success, noting that the Germans lost an incredible 136 pilots that day, the R.A.F. lost only four. 

The Luftwaffe's Operation Bodenplatte represented an attempt to cripple Allied air forces and regain air superiority during the Battle of the Bulge. This in turn, it was hoped, would allow the Bulge offensive to continue. The Germans did gain surprise in the offensive, but overall the attack was a terrible failure, with many irreplaceable German pilots killed in action or captured, and air superiority never in doubt. The Allies' personnel casualties proved minimal, with destroyed aircraft replaced quickly, and the Bulge offensive completely crushed by the end of the month.

This educational film "Students Track the Space Age" is part of a series of movies made by Hearst as part of the "Screen News Digest" series. This episode examines the space age and space race as seen by students and was presented by the Purdue National Bank of Lafayette. The first segment depicts high school students near Cape Kennedy in Florida and how they utilized old military tracking equipment in order to listen to exchanges between the Cape Kennedy Control Center and Mercury astronauts in orbit. The second takes a look at the construction of Camp Century in Greenland which was initially to be a science and research base though years later it was proved to be a cover for Project Iceworm which was abandoned in 1967.  A countdown for a rocket launch is heard as students listen in and work with their own modified and upgraded military tracking equipment (:54). The students attend Cocoa High School (1:16) in Cocoa Beach, Florida. Students are seen milling through the campus which is situated near Cape Kennedy (1:28) and this exuded a heavy influence over the students and their education. Students are seen in class at Satellite High School (1:37) at Satellite Beach. They are seen working to prepare and publish the school newspaper called the ‘Telecaster’ (1:53).

Produced by Castle Films in the 1930s (probably 1936), this silent, black &amp; white educational film promotes "Golden Health" which can be achieved by eating fresh Sunkist citrus from California.  Sunkist ads in this era called oranges a "true product of the Golden health giving Sunshine and the Fertile soil of California".  Sunkist wanted people to see oranges as essential for good health, and to eat one every day The Sunkist name dates to 1907, when  ad agency Lord &amp; Thomas proposed using the adjective "sun-kissed" to describe oranges sold by the California Fruit Growers Exchange; the word eventually used in the campaign was Sunkist, made up by the agency so it would be easier to defend afterwards as a trademark. Sunkist remains in business as Sunkist Growers, Inc., a cooperative composed of 6,000 members from California and Arizona. It is currently headquartered in Valencia, California. 

Opening: Castle Films - Golden Health (:07-:11). Children play outdoors on a playground. Children wrestle while others watch. Children play on a swing. A boy plays with a dog.

Directed by a young Robert Altman for Calvin Productions, this National Safety Council driver's education film "The Perfect Crime" presents accidents caused by excess speed -- as the perfect crime. As the narrator explains, "high speeds can lead to dangerous accidents and death. Unlike other crimes, there will be no investigation as to the cause of the crime". The film shows how driving in rain, at night or with an improperly maintained vehicle can all be deadly. Other troublesome factors include the condition of the road and the driver as substances like alcohol impair driving ability. The film ends with a plea to help support maintaining good roadways.  The film was funded by the Caterpillar Tractor Co. as a public service. 

The opening scene is that of a strong arm robbery at a convenience store (:52). A burglar enters the shop run by and elderly man and woman as a young girl is behind the counter (1:26). After giving up the fourteen dollars in the cash register (1:47), the clerk is struck by the intruder (1:52) and his wife is shot. In a panic over the young girl’s screams, the burglar then shoots the young girl (1:59). Headlines are shouted in the streets of the murder of two over fourteen dollars (2:32). In most cases, the crime leads to reports which lead to public indignation and action (2:46). Citizen’s in the street arrest the burglar as he is identified from local reports (2:48). The film turns to show the scene of an automobile accident as a wounded driver pulls himself from the vehicle (3:23). A patrol vehicle arrives on scene (3:42) as the injured man is pulled onto a stretcher and white sheets are set out over the dead (4:01). This is considered ‘the perfect crime’ as...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0cdb1d59-5b36-4203-a8b3-f05d59ded7fe/4d4efecb-38c9-472a-a5d1-48c79c1cd76e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2A5mXJn8N7fx4Aev2vJVPC</video:player_loc><video:duration>1244</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T07:55:10.284Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ubRsprmrobvZQZhEFtSWhC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2d4a29b9-959e-44fe-971d-0a525c6cb44a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WAS "TOP GUN" WITH TOM CRUISE -- AND "MAVERICK" -- INSPIRED BY A GRUMMAN F-14 TOMCAT PROMO VIDEO?</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Audio track: "The 80s Take Flight" by GarryONeal, licensed via Audio Jungle.

Was the 1986 box office smash movie "Top Gun" inspired by a corporate video? It seems possible. Although it's a well known fact that the screenplay for the film was adapted from a magazine article written by journalist Ehud Yonay, many aspects of the film's visuals seem similar to "Air Power at Sea" — a 1982 promo film made by Grumman to promote their weapons systems. Those included the iconic F-14 Tomcat and the EA-6B Prowler aircraft, which were shown operating on the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz in the Mediterranean Sea. While "Top Gun" starred Tom Cruise, Kelly Mcgillis, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards, and Tom Skerritt, "Air Power at Sea" starred Grumman's cutting edge aircraft, performing pulse-pounding maneuvers similar to those seen in the Hollywood blockbuster. In the Grumman film, it was the F-14 Tomcat that was the maverick -- and while Tom Cruise's career has continued to ascend to new heights,  unfortunately the last of these amazing aircraft was retired in 2006.

Created by British Petroleum, and RHR Productions /  Ronald H. Riley, this film "Tribute to...Fangio!" is a love letter to Juan Manuel Fangio (1911 – 1995), an Argentine race car driver. Fangio was also known by the nickname El Chueco ("the bowlegged" or "bandy legged one") or El Maestro ("The Master" or "The Teacher"). He dominated the first decade of Formula One racing, winning the World Drivers' Championship five times.  He holds the highest winning percentage in Formula 1; 46.15%. Fangio is also the only Argentine to have won the Argentine Grand Prix. 

The film begins at the Infamous racetrack known as Spa in Stavelot, Belgium (:45) followed by picturesque terraces in Monaco (:55) as race cars whiz by. The Reims-Gueux’s motor raceway follows, established in 1926 (1:01). The winding roads of the Nürburgring racetrack in the town of Nürburg , Germany (1:07). Fangio takes a solo ride around the track (1:12). His wife; Andrea Berruet (1:53) enjoys refreshments at a patio table. A brief history of his race car career begins with his first professional drive in 1934 (2:04). A photo depicts his ride at the Reims-Gueux track in 1948 (2:15). Fangio’s rise to fame began in 1949 when he returned to Europe and won the opening race of the European season (2:27). Ferrari, Gordini and Maserati all participated in this race (2:43). The film moves forward to 1950 (2:57) and into Monaco as Fangio scored one of his eight victories of that year.

This promo film for Taylor Wines shows the company's operations, and tries to educate consumers about wine varieties and etiquette. It shows the "new world of wine" through a narrative about a photojournalist duo and their editor, who put together a feature story on the topic. 

The Taylor Wine Co. was a family owned business established in the 1920’s in Hammondsport, New York. This winery survived Prohibition and managed to endure into the 1990’s. For a brief six year period, Coca-Cola Co. bought the brand and for a moment it looked like Taylor Wines might become America's favorite table wine. It was not meant to be, however, as Coke's executives grew tired of the low profit margins in the business. As the film demonstrates, wine production helped drive the rise of the Finger Lakes region's economy. When Taylor Wines deteriorated in 1995, it led to an economic shake-up in the area. Today Taylor Wine only exists as a dessert wine brand in the Constellation portfolio.

Opening shots of grapes in orchards (:15). The film is produced by Walter O’Connor Company (1:03). The narrator; Bob Robinson (1:21) and his wife; Helen, meet their editor in a New York restaurant for dinner (1:21). Bill Wilson, the editor, details his trip to the Finger Lakes (1:30). Sailors and water-skiers enjoy the waters (1:59). Small waterfalls cascade down the rocks (2:44) as a fisherman catches a trout (2:49). Some of the world’s fastest racers compete at the Watkins Glen Racetrack (3:09). The Grand Prix also takes place here (3:17). The horse racing track at Canandaigua (3:56) is visited. The trip pauses at Hammondsport at the foot of Keuka Lake (4:39) and then heads for the Glenn Curtiss Museum (4:43). Curtiss was a pioneer in aviation (4:43). The wine industry provides employment for the locals as well as a market for small businesses (6:11).

The "Dupont Show of the Week" was an anthology program that ran from 1961 to 1964, often featuring significant Hollywood stars and comedians. The programs also featured the occasional documentary, including this non-fiction film entitled "Flight Deck". Produced and directed by A Wasserman, the hour-long program from 1964 offered an inside look at the operations of the USS Franklin D Roosevelt (CVA-42) aircraft carrier. The fourth Nimitz-class, nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the United States Navy is depicted recovering McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawks, Vought F-8 Crusaders, and McDonnell FH Phantoms.

RICHARDSON  EPIC PAN-AMERICAN HIGHWAY FROM USA TO PANAMA 50124</video:title><video:description>This 1947 "World School of Adventure" film entitled "Rough Road to Panama" takes viewers to Panama through via the Pan-American Highway. The film follows a group of men who, prior to the trip, had little experience in exploration. At the time, the road was not completed and much of it was considered dangerous. This film was presented by Viking Pictures / 20th Century Vikings (:10) and was produced and narrated by Sullivan C. Richardson, a journalist who wrote a book entitled "Adventure South" (1:12).  Richardson's Viking Pictures was founded in 1947 in Chicago. It produced instructional and corporate films for clients. A sequel film, "Rugged Road to Cape Horn", was also produced. 

The film opens with a discussion of the Panama Highway (1:52). A special Plymouth sedan used for the trip is pictured stuck on jagged rocks (2:38). The group prepares for the trip with a mission of collecting information for books and motion picture films (3:01). The trip begins in Washington D.C (3:22). From here they enter Mexico at Nogales (3:25). They then move towards Central America and on to Panama. A second feature accompanies this film as the narrator informs viewers it continues the trip to Cape Horn. The white Plymouth sedan sits in front of the Pan American Union building (5:06). Dr. Leo S. Rowe bids the travelers good fortune and farewell (5:11). The Magellan Straits were to be hit first on the journey (6:11).

A primitive ferry carries the men and car over water (7:30). Mules are also used to traverse waterways (7:46).

This travelogue film takes viewers to Key West, Florida. Key west is an island and part of the Florida Keys archipelago. This is the southernmost point of Florida. The film was created by a world traveled lawyer named John Hutter. Hutter created these films with the introduction of “Chateau Hutter Films Presents” (:09) and planned to show them to guests at a resort lodge he had constructed in Wisconsin. Tragically, the resort was forced to close after Hutter had a dispute with the regional chamber of commerce and lost access to advertising outlets. The film opens with the fireplace in the living room of Chateau Hutter with the lawyer himself sitting near it (:33). A map shows the route from Miami to Key West is 130 miles (:45).

This is a WWII era training film created to educate airmen on how to properly report sightings of enemy ships, submarines and other craft. It includes images of U.S., British and German submarines of WW2. The film was produced under the supervision of the Bureau of Aeronautics for the Chief of Naval Operations (:22). The acronym CIRES appears (:34) which is an acronym for Communication Instructions for Reporting Enemy Sightings. A military transport plane which appears to be the C-47 Skytrain is seen after opening credits (:52). A narrative ensues as two men are pictured piloting this craft (1:15). The pilot radios for their position from the back of the plane (1:15). As the planes lowers, the co-pilot spots a potential submarine in the water (2:37). The pilot writes off the sighting as they had had recent false sightings (2:55). The co-pilot then spots what appears to be enemy ships ‘way off the beams’ (3:23). The pilot radios to the tower for landing instruction (3:51). Men at the operations base look over weather reports (4:35). A memo is highlighted showing an attack at Cape Point by an enemy submarine (4:53). This is the same area where the co-pilot from the opening segment had spotted an enemy submarine. A briefing session follows in order to educate the men on proper instruction for reporting these sightings (CIRES) (5:15). Within the briefing, the merchant vessel which had been hit by the enemy sub is discussed (5:33).

This 1940s era promo film seeks to encourage the participation of young men from across America in the annual model-building competition of the Fisher Body Craftsman’s Guild. Between 1930 and 1968, the Fisher Body Division of General Motors sponsored this competition, which offered enticing cash prizes as well as university scholarships, as a design aptitude litmus test for young men 12-19 years old who would go on to be automobile designers for GM. In addition to filling its ranks with new talent, the competition acted as a powerful and successful marketing tool.. For the first seven years of the competition, participants were asked to build models of Napoleonic carriages featuring the Fisher Body logo; however, after this period the competition was expanded to include model automobiles, many of which went on to be manufactured by GM.

This 1972 educational film was created to be used in conjunction with school-based anti-drug programs. It depicts a variety of situations where youth may come in contact with drugs, including prescription drugs. The film explores the proper use of drugs as administered by a doctor or at home. It specifically targets situations children would likely experience. The film also boasts the need for a rich and healthy life to keep youth from getting into trouble. It was directed by Hans Halberstadt and produced by Barr Films. 

Opening scenes include a scenario in which a woman and child visit the doctor’s office over a sore throat (:21). The doctor checks the boy’s throat with a tongue depressor (:38).

Produced by NATO and the Signal Photographic Service of the U.S. Army, this black &amp; white film is about the formation of NATO and its importance in the defense of the free world. Copyright 1951. The film features a score by William Alwyn. The film dates from the time when Gen. Dwight Eisenhower was supreme commander of NATO (1950-52), a post he left in order to run for President of the United States.

Opening: NATO presents Alliance for Peace (:07-:47). Edward R. Murrow narrates. On a road near Paris, the flags of twelve nations can be seen. Men enter the NATO headquarters building. Flashback to WWII: Soviet and U.S. Army troops meet up and shake hands with one another. The War in Europe is over. V-E Day celebrations. Wrecked buildings and images of destruction. Men return home. A soldier returns to civilian life and tries on a  hat. Europe rebuilds. Farmers in the field (:48-2:52). Meanwhile, Soviet Russia retains its vast military and enhances it. Joseph Stalin and his cronies watch the annual military parade in Red Square. Map of U.S.S.R. and the countries under the Iron Curtain. Polish government under Soviet control. At Yalta, Stalin agreed that free elections should be held. Polish election is held but it was not fair: Polish officials were disqualified, arrested, and five died (2:53- 5:20). Stanisław Mikołajczyk went back to exile during these elections and a Soviet Marshall took over as Polish commander in chief. In Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary, Russia ran the countries as well. Stalin applauds. Surplus WWII airplanes sit in a field, possibly at Kingman Army Air Field. In Czechoslovakia, they had independence. People cheer. President Edvard Benes. Stalin stands. Russian troops on the march; Benes "retired" to the country. Jan Garrigue Masaryk, a Czech diplomat who served as the Foreign Minister from 1940 to 1...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a25c59c3-463d-41e8-97dc-42b2c1aff744/00aac8ed-f0c3-4b47-8e5e-ede2c406884b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/m3QPTABFz9KPLZ1AGcmaTA</video:player_loc><video:duration>2352</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T09:01:33.468Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/36jGtrcPLpYFmNk8v8Empb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4412cc79-884a-4a91-bd95-e800812d032c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“WHY THE S.N.C.F.

This film "Why the S.N.C.F. Converted to Electricity" details the SNCF’s transition from steam locomotives to using electric (and diesel-electric) locomotives. This electrification process actually began in the 1920’s and continued through the 1950’s. The SNCF, the French National Railways, is a state owned railroad system of France first established in 1938. The film is presented by French production service La France En Marche (:10) and produced by Albert Guyot (:28) in Eastman Color. It features music by Andre Lavagne and Pierre Lantier, with photography by Noel Ramettre and Claude Giresse. This English version is narrated by John Seabourne.

The film opens with a steam engine of the SNCF line (1:01). By 1938, steam locomotives were as perfect as they were going to get (1:19) and the French railroads had 15,000 engines. Some of the steam liners are seen running over the frozen ground (1:40). Others move from the hilly routes linking the coal mining district to the steel producing region of Lorraine (2:12). One train is pictured heading east with coke for steel mills (2:25) while the other heads for the blast furnaces of northern France with iron ore. Miners lower themselves into the depths of the pit (2:51). Cranes are seen in use working to move earth and rock around the yard in order to help distribute the coal among 25 main stocking centers (4:02). Cars full of the coal head for the fuel stations of the French National Railways (4:37). The driver and fireman (4:55) work on repairs for the engine. The fireman is then shown shoveling coal into the fire box (6:20). Another driver and fireman are pictured with the modern engine which employs an endless automatic screw (6:35).

Distributed by Oxford Films and produced by Moreland-Latchford Productions in Canada, this 1972 eight-minute short titled “Just Awful” chronicles an incident common to most school-aged children - a fall during recess and the subsequent visit to the nurse’s office. With permission from Addison Wesley Publishing Company, this film is an adaptation of the text “Just Awful” which was originally published in 1971 by Alma Marshak Whitney. While it is not explicitly clear why the film was produced, the expertise of elementary guidance counselor for the North York Board of Education, Joy Longfield, was consulted so perhaps this film was intended to be a PSA to encourage young students in Toronto's public school system to utilize nursing services. It is worth noting that the film was directed by Mark Harris and narrated by Norma Clarke and featured a cast that included Jeffrey Toner, Beth Ames, Colin Humphries, Carol Woodward, and Geraldine Waterman.

Written and narrated by famed poet and author Carl Sandburg and released by the United States Office for Emergency Management in 1941, "Bomber" is a short version of a 19-minute film called "Building a Bomber".  The poetic morale-building film examines the capacity of America's defense industry and the dedication of its workers to produce war material. The film shows the assembly of Martin B-26 Marauders at the Glenn L. Martin Company plant in Baltimore, Maryland. The aircraft was also built in Omaha, Nebraska during the war. A total of 5,288 were produced between February 1941 and March 1945; 522 of these were flown by the Royal Air Force and the South African Air Force. While original versions were viewed as dangerous to pilots due to their lack of stability, modifications made the airplane much easier to handle, and the aircraft ended WWII with the lowest loss rate of any USAAF bomber.

Presented by the “This is the Answer!” series and produced by A Family Films in conjunction with the Radio and Television Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention in Ft. Worth Texas, this 1950s-era film titled “Pay the Piper” seeks to teach the viewer biblical lessons through everyday scenarios. Directed by William F. Claxton, this teleplay by Lowell S. Hawley is an adaptation of a story by Dr. Paul M. Stevens and chronicles the unfortunate premature death of family man Charles Thompson’s daughter due to underage drinking. As a result, Charles Thompson goes on a crusade throughout his local community to put an end to the sale of alcohol despite later discovering that it was his own personal stash of liquor that had been the cause of the accident. This scenario is used to convey a biblical lesson from Galatians 6:7. The film features a vast cast and crew featuring names such as Pierre Couderc, Roy Luby, Willis Bouchey, Virginia Christine, Ray Teal, Jan Arvan, Robert Carson, Lewis Charles, Walter Strenge, Robert Fritch, George Emick, Lou Perlof, Clancy Herne, Edward Shiells, Harry Rief, Truett Myers and Gene McKinney.

This film "Treetrops Safari" was the official film of the Treetops Lodge aka the Treetops Hotel. It was created by Geoff A. Mason-Smith who, along with his wife Joan, ran the lodge in the 1950s and 60s. Treetops was located in Aberdare National Park in Kenya near the township of Nyeri. It was created by Major Eric Sherbrooke Walker, who built a treehouse for his wife Lady Bettie in 1932 in a 300-year-old fig tree next to a watering hole. As you can see in the film, the lodge offered guests a close view of the local wildlife. The original building was burned down during the 1954 Mau Mau Uprising, but the hotel was rebuilt and eventually grew into a 35-room hotel. The hotel is the location where Princess Elizabeth was staying in 1952 when she acceded to the thrones of the United Kingdom, and the other Commonwealth realms, upon the death of her father, King George VI. Lord Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts movement, was a resident of Nyeri and a frequent visitor to Treetops.

The film, which likely dates to the late 1950s or early 1960s, shows many aspects of the Treetops experience, with guests arriving at the lodge by car and being completely isolated in the treehouse hotel, while wild animals roam just below them in the adjacent watering hole. At 2:49, the plaque commemorating the succession of Queen Elizabeth is shown.

It was directed by prolific TV director Jean Yarborough. The film aspires to encourage their audience to stick to their convictions of not drinking despite societal pressures to do so.

The film is presented by Kingswood Studios and produced in Hollywood by the Jam Handy Organization, the Board of Temperance, and the Radio and Film Commission of the Methodist Church. This 30-minute film follows the story of Bob Eston, a college football star for the fictional Weston U, who is pressured to appear on a TV segment that promotes a company called Calendar Beer as part of an agreement between his college and a millionaire donor for an endowment deal.

A Potomac Films Production in conjunction with the American Temperance Society, this awareness campaign film titled “From 5 to 7:30” seeks to advocate for abstinence from alcohol and educate on its dangers. This 1950s film tells the story of Joe Waldron, a high-school aged student who is shaken by news of a car crash caused by a classmate who had been drinking and driving. Joe makes his stance clear - that he lacks sympathy for the driver and that he is uncomfortable around alcohol especially after he realizes his parents are likely alcoholics. The film also features an educational speech made by Dr. Andrew C. Ivy about the dangers of alcohol and alcoholism. The film’s message aligns with the mission of the American Temperance Society and the Temperance Movement more largely which is a social movement against the consumption of alcoholic beverages. Participants in the movement typically criticize alcohol intoxication or promote complete abstinence from alcohol, and its leaders emphasize alcohol's negative effects on people's health, personalities and family lives. Lastly it is worth mentioning that the film features Terry Connor, Ronald Vandeman, Susan Patz, Phil Bosco, Anne Meacham, Jack Flynn, May Leisinger, Warner Schreiner as cast members and Sylvia Cumahns Betts, Bert Spielvogel, Joseph Fiorelli, Nicolas Noxon, Jarvis Couillard, and Nicholas C. Read as crew and director.

The film opens with shots of forests (00:55), fitting for a state known as the “Pine Tree State.” Maine is also home to lakes, historic forts, and scenic lighthouses. August (01:26) is the capital and is shaped by the Kennebec River. Lewiston and Auburn are the heart of the state’s industry (01:47), producing boots and shoes among other things. Portland (02:12) is the largest city in Maine and is the birthplace of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Portland’s most important industry is fishing. Brunswick (02:50) is a city of commerce and industry, but it might be best known for education. Brunswick is home to Bowdoin College, which counts Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Franklin Pierce among its alumni. Maine’s third largest city is Bangor (03:19). While not one of the top three largest cities in Maine, Orono is home to the University of Main (03:46); the school is famous for its agricultural college with experimental farms. Agriculture is very important throughout the state. Farmers till their own land and pass farms down from generation to generation. Blue berries (04:22) are an important seasonal crop, but dairy and poultry are the important year-round resources. However, the state’s most important crop is potatoes (04:52), especially in Aroostook County. More potatoes are grown in Maine than in any other state. Chinook puppies (05:15) are a unique breed of dog, as Maine is the only place one can get a Chinook from—in fact, Maine’s Perry Green is the only breeder of the dog. Shipbuilding (05:38) is as old of an industry as it is widespread in Maine, largely because of the state’s coastline and massive timber reserves. The lumber industry (05:50) employs thousands of Maine’s residents. Lumber is floated downriver (06:22) to factories in places like Winslow and Woodland, where most of nati...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9510b2d2-e237-471f-9ce3-aec9f9e8df59/e15df347-f105-4c74-9ed8-eb40db76cfb0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jpBRxya5WnNX7d5fLcuUQr</video:player_loc><video:duration>547</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T09:54:48.083Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eukt89HaqXe6AuXnVhFF6D</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/60146f91-23b9-493f-8908-4afcab30406f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" HINDENBURG EXPLODES!"  1937 HINDENBURG ZEPPELIN TRANS-ATLANTIC FLIGHT &amp; CRASH NEWSREEL XD57934</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Created at the Columbus State Hospital in the 1950s, “City of the Sick” is a documentary about mental illness and the hospital itself, narrated by a fictional hospital attendant (Ken Kesey he's not). According to the narration, one of every twenty people in the city would suffer from a mental illness in this era. According to Professor Robert Wagner, who helped create the film, it was actually intended for new attendants and "was both instructional and motivational. We tried to establish how mental patients behave and how an attendant should react to what went on inside the hospital as an introduction to his work."Hydrotherapy is seen at the 15 minute mark, and electroshock therapy seen at 15:20. Columbus State Hospital first opened in 1838 and was originally known as the "Lunatic Asylum of Ohio". After a fire devastated the original asylum in 1868, the Ohio Legislature authorized reconstruction of the institution on a different tract of land. An immense Kirkbride building was completed in 1877. Construction took seven years and the total cost was over $1,500,000.The building was very similar in appearance to the Athens State Hospital Kirkbride, although it was significantly larger. The distance around the foundation was reportedly one and a quarter miles in length. The building was designed to accommodate 850 patients—well over Dr. Kirkbride's prescribed 250 patient limit and still greater than the more generous AMSAII recommendation of 600 patients.The institution closed in the late 1980s. Unfortunately, attempts at preservation failed and the Kirkbride was razed in 1991. The Ohio Department of Public Safety and Department of Transportation now call the former asylum grounds h...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/76b97977-1275-4510-b867-263bc16503bc/216384ed-5240-472d-b4f2-073b4f2f3f16-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fEjhEBmBa8nxj3RHnrG2wu</video:player_loc><video:duration>1190</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T09:55:50.193Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/q7JQ6nTdxkba9c9MmomCL3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/653a3fb9-a7d7-4421-a2a7-6bfdc4d6b88c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NATO RIM-7 SEASPARROW  SHIPBORNE ANTI-SHIP MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM   1970s PROMO FILM   45434</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This color educational film is about the construction of the Fontana Dam in Tennessee. In 1935, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), which was concerned with the Little Tennessee's effect on flood control in the greater Tennessee Valley, began negotiating with Alcoa to assume control of the Fontana project. Although Alcoa preferred that TVA build the dam, TVA was unable to get necessary funding for the project until the outbreak of World War II in 1941, when emergency wartime initiatives called for a drastic increase in aluminum production. On August 14, 1941, TVA and ALCOA signed the "Fontana Agreement," which gave TVA possession of Fontana and control over the releases and output of Tapoco's Little Tennessee Valley dams, and in return guaranteed that Alcoa would be the primary benefactor of the dams' electrical output for at least twenty years. The U.S. Congress authorized funding on December 17, 1941, and construction of Fontana Dam began on January 1, 1942. This film is copyright 1947.

Featuring Dr. H. David Baldridge who accumulated a great deal of data about shark attacks and wrote the book "Shark Attack" (1978), as well as other experts, this U.S. Navy-produced film SHARKS: THE DANGER IN THE SEA dates to the 1970s and may very well have been inspired by the release of the film JAWS. The film focuses on shark attacks and the Navy's efforts to combat them using shark repellant. Stuart Springer appears at the 5:00 mark, discussing the development of WWII-era shark repellant by the Navy which not only masks the subject from attack and chemically repels the predator, but provides a psychological aid to a swimmer.  The use of shark cages is seen at the 7 minute mark, as well as sound transducers. Shark behavior is studied by divers using noise makers at the 10 minute mark. Shark vision is studied at the 11:50 mark, by Dr. Sam Gruber. Gruber achieved a lot of fame over a long career, replacing irrational fear of sharks with better understanding of them.At the 16:30 mark, San Diego researchers look at sharks from underwater using the Nemo Acrylic bubble and the SiSi catamaran. The Mote Marine Laboratory in Florida is also seen. Mote Marine Laboratory is an independent, not-for-profit marine research organization based on City Island in Sarasota, Florida. Founded in 1955 by Eugenie Clark in Placida, Florida, it was known as the Cape Haze Marine Laboratory until 1967. The laboratory aims to advance the science of the sea, both through its marine and estuarine research labs and through the public Mote Aquarium and its affiliated educational programs.The film ends with tests of a "shark screen" and a "bubble curtain" designed to keep sharks away, with varying success.

The short, which takes its name from the band's signature song, was directed by Arthur Dreifuss, associate produced by Will Cowan, shot by William Sickner with Charles Previn as musical director, and Bernard Brown as "sound director" (a title sometimes seen in the early soundie era). 

"Smoke Rings" was released by Universal Studios on July 28, 1943. It features the songs "Can't Get Stuff in Your Cuff," "That's My Affair" and "Little Man with the Hammer." Glen Gray appears playing his sax at (7:00), and Eugenie Baird can be seen at (3:15) singing "That's My Affair". Orchestra co-founder and trombonist Pee Wee Hunt is seen at (5:20) performing "Little Man with the Hammer." The performance by the Pied Pipers is seen at the 10 minute mark.

The Casa Loma Orchestra was an American dance band active in two era, first from 1929 -47, and then from 1957-63. The band took its name from the  Casa Loma in Toronto, where it played its earliest gigs (under the name "Orange Blossoms"). It was initially led by violinist Hank Biagini, but eventually saxophonist Glen Gray took control. The Casa Loma Orchestra was one of the early swing band to achieve success and, in the 1930s, it was one of the most prominent. Its hot style was often emulated by other bands. Once WWII ended however, big bands began losing audience, and the Orchestra dissolved in 1947. It had a second coming under its most famous leader Glen Gray, and recorded fifteen LP albums for Capitol Records before Gray's death in 1963. 

Interestingly, the CLO was actually incorporated, with each band member owning a share of the business, and being asked to follow strict rules of behavior.

This Cold War Era film was created by the Office of Civil Defense and promotes the use of the fallout shelter during a time of high paranoia over nuclear warfare. A small booklet was created along with the film and distributed by the Office of Civil Defense. It can be found online. It discusses fallout produced by nuclear explosion and aims to promote the adoption of fallout shelters as part of a civil defense program. The film opens with a scientific breakdown of what nuclear fallout is beginning with a collection of particles on a slide (:12). One particle is zoomed in on (:07). During fallout these cascade to the earth from the sky and continue to release radiation (:57). The film is presented by the Department of Defense (1:37). A note details the impending doom the United States would experience were it to be hit with a nuclear bomb (2:07). Targeted cities would be decimated and outer areas exposed to nuclear fallout (2:07). It encourages thorough preparation. Sunbathing families splash on the shoreline (2:36); an ice cream cut 1950's American holiday. Radiation is explained in an animation in relation to the universe, the sun (2:58) and the earth's crust (4:14). An explosion from a nuclear bomb (5:26) is broken down including the crater area (5:31) and the mushroom cloud itself where the particles for radioactive fallout are formed (5:43). A close shot shows the cloud rising higher now fuller of the radioactive particles (6:05). Distribution of particles is explained (6:31). Heavy particles drop within 24 hours and are the most dangerous (6:54). Radiations rate of decay is broken down (7:14). A US map is used to show the spread of fallout after a nuclear explosion (8:10). Rate of decay is shown (8:45) on the same map. A diagram of a building is used to show best methods for protection from fallout (9:34).

This wonderful compilation of home movies featuring pedal cars and other wheeled wonders spans a few decades, from the late 1920s through the 1960s. It starts in Mexico with a boy being pulled on a pony by a (rather bored looking) man in overalls. Likely late 1920s/early 1930s. At 1:19, the boy is seen again, this time in a cart that is pulled by a large dog. At 2:06 a class of Mexican children walk by, with their teacher up front. At 2:09 the boy is seen in a pedal car high wing airplane with "California" emblazoned on the side. (Probably inspired by the Ryan Spirit of St. Louis and Lindbergh.)  At 2:37, amused Mexican performers watch the child in his plane. At 3:42, another child drives a second pedal car airplane. At 3:50, likely 1950s footage, a boy pulls his brother's push stoller with his trike. At 4:11, a boy sits in a yellow pedal car. At 4:23, children are seen in 1930s pedal car sedans that must have cost a fortune, including a two seater!  At 4:50, an older boy in a Boy Scout uniform gets into a small pedal car roadster and tries to drive. At 5:11, a boy plays with a wooden biplane toy. At 5;25, a girl comes by on roller skates. At 5:36, a model plane is airborne (briefly). At 5:43, more pedal cars including one with a spare tire. At 7:03, footage from the 1960s, a soap box derby type car whizzes down the street. There are three kids on it!  Next, a contraption made out of wheeled lawn care tools and a lawn chair comes down the street. At 7:50, a "Super Sport" pedal car made by AMF is seen. At 8:20, two little girls push a Super Sport. At 8:24, a boy rides a miniature tractor on the lawn. At 8:37, 1940s footage of a boy pulling a Fisher Price toy behind his streamlin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5f6ad33f-f1aa-49b3-83bc-a0c0c9602675/d3034d07-5361-48e0-88a6-e0220177cb72-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cMorCpe7BsZsEVCYfynpGz</video:player_loc><video:duration>606</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T09:58:41.775Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/h5QK1x6bthAyW7DPh8uXyH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/763bfc9b-1f27-4341-a45c-5ae39ca60ada.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"AIR STUNTS"  LOOPING A FORD TRIMOTOR   BARNSTORMER TRICKS   URNST UDET   FRANK CLARK   42024</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Dating to 1936, this silent film "Air Stunts" shows highlights from the National Air Races, which featured a number of barnstormer acts as well as racing competitions. One astonishing segment shows pilot Harold Johnson performing a loop and roll with a gigantic Ford Trimotor -- a plane not exactly built for performance (1:44). At (3:19) he lands on one wheel. At (:44), Hollywood stunt pilot Frank Clark maneuvers a biplane above an attentive crowd. At (3:34) a parachutist jumps off the wing of a biplane as part of a "spot landing" competition. At (4:45), WWI Canadian ace Dick Granere performs tricks in a  plane that he once described as a "flying bathtub", a Curtiss-Wright CW-1 Junior, originally named the Curtiss-Robertson CR-1 Skeeter, tail NC10976. At (6:20), Captain Alexandru "Alex" Papană aka Alex Papana of the Romanian Air Forces performs in his Bücker Bü 133B Jungermeister. At 7:15, Italian ace Tenente Colonnello Tito Falconi flies inverted over the crowd in his Caproni 113 biplane. At (8:30), Milo Burcham performs. He worked as a stunt pilot, airshow pilot, and test pilot and was sadly killed flying America's first jet fighter. At (9:23) German aviator Urnst Udet picks up a handkerchief from the ground with his biplane, the AL61A-398 Flamingo D-822. At (10:57) the late Major Al Wilson  flies in a 1910 pusher aircraft. (Wilson died while doing flying stunts at the 1932 Cleveland Air Races show.) At 11:56, famed pilot Roscoe Turner is shown achieving a new speed record of 248 miles per hour. The aircraft shown is a Howard DGA-3 "Pete". At  12:08, French pilot Michel Detroyat is shown flies at 300 mph in 1936 in his Falkerts SK-2 R283Y.

This color silent film footage was shot during the Vietnam War and shows day to day operations of members of the 9th Infantry Division ("Old Reliables"). All the material was filmed circa Spring, 1967 in and around the Mekong Delta. The footage gives a sense of the monotony of life for many soldiers during the Vietnam conflict. The newly reconstituted 9th ID arrived in South Vietnam on 16 December 1966 from Fort Riley, Kansas. The 9th was deployed in Dinh Tuong and Long An Provinces (6 January-31 May 1967) in Operation Palm Beach. Its area of operations was in the rivers and canals of the Mekong Delta from 1967 to 1972. 

Film starts with shot of U.S. G.I.s on the move, walking across a pipeline, probably at Đồng Tâm Base Camp. Soldiers sit around and wait. Soldiers on a amphibious assault craft, probably an LCM-8 ("Mike Boat"). One soldier has "Ohio" written on his helmet (:44). Another soldier mans the .50 cal on the boat while others sit and wait. (1:44) soldiers pay a visit to a village.  Americans pass by the locals in tiny boats. Soldiers walk through waist deep water in the jungle (:12:2:16).A soldier drinks from a canteen. Camera slate. Two officers including a Colonel discuss (2:47) (9th Infantry Division patch visible). A Huey helicopter comes in for a landing. Supplies including C rations are put into the helicopter. Helicopter takes off. Soldiers drive down a paved street in an APC (2:17-3:47). Soldiers walk through a field and then through deep mud. Soldiers, including African Americans, leap over water and walk into the jungle. One soldier has a map laid out as others listen (3:48-4:55). Camera slate from March, 1967, Dongtam (Đồng Tâm was a U.S. Army Base Camp).

This short, silent newsreel, produced for the home market by Castle Films, expresses deep outrage at the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941.  Due to classification issues at the time the film was made, very little of the damage to Pearl Harbor itself is shown; rather the film focuses on damage to civilian areas of Waikiki and Honolulu.  Footage includes: Japanese Emperor Hirohito reviewing his troops, Secretary of State Cordell Hull speaking with Japanese ambassadors, Waikiki during bombing attack, emergency hospitals during the Pearl Harbor attack, refugee center at University of Hawaii, a Japanese miniature submarine is seen beached, and President Roosevelt urges Congress to declare war on December 8th.  There is a lot of U.S. Navy footage in the film as well, including submarines, battleships, and other vessels.  The USS Phelps (DD-360) is briefly seen during fleet maneuvers. The film ends with a wonderful shot of U.S. planes forming the letters USA.

This 1949 TV show "Paradise Island" is one of 26, 15-minute episodes produced by Jerry Fairbanks, Inc. It stars Danny O'Neil and Anne Sterling and features Everett Hoagland and his orchestra. "Paradise Island" was the first musical series produced for television, and to save money it used a lot of original songs. Over the course of its run, 90 songs and 26 musical productions were performed. The 15-minute format, which press materials indicated was the equivalent of "six full length films", were produced by Fairbanks in Mexico. At the time it was released, the show was syndicated on only 22 stations. It was nevertheless considered a success, and Fairbanks planned to follow up with a Western version -- but that never got off the ground. 

The music in this episode include O'Neil singing the theme song "Paradise Island" and "Easy Street", a performance by the orchestra, and Anne Sterling performing "Pedro Gonzalez" (5:13). At 6:37, a Hawaiian hula dance is performed with live musical accompaniment. At 9:20, the Irish ballad "Come Back to Erin" is sung by O'Neil.

Released by Castle Films for sale to the home market in the 1940s, "Joe Louis' Famous Fights" is a silent highlight reel showing the "Brown Bomber's" best matches. It begins with Louis as champion facing Billy Conn. This match occurred on on June 18, 1941, in front of a crowd of 54,487 fans at the Polo Grounds in New York City. It is commonly considered one of the greatest heavyweight boxing fights of all time. Louis knocked Conn out with two seconds left in the thirteenth round (5:15). At 5:46 the film shows Louis as champion in a rematch with Buddy Baer, brother of Max Baer, on January 9, 1942.  The venue is Madison Square Garden. Baer, who hid the fact that he was suffering from a neck injury received in an auto accident, couldn't put up a proper fight. Louis downed Baer twice in the first round and then knocked him out. The film ends with Sgt. Joe Louis in his U.S. Army uniform saluting the audience. At the time, Louis had enlisted and had volunteered to be the focus of a recruitment campaign aimed at African-American men, despite the military's racial segregation. When he was asked about this seeming contradiction, Louis famously said: "Lots of things wrong with America, but Hitler ain't going to fix them." 

Joseph Louis Barrow (May 13, 1914 – April 12, 1981) competed from 1934 to 1951. Nicknamed the Brown Bomber, Louis is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential boxers of all time. He reigned as the world heavyweight champion from 1937 until his temporary retirement in 1949. He was victorious in 25 consecutive title defenses, a record for all weight classes.Louis had the longest single reign as champion of any boxer in history.

Featuring stylized visual storytelling, this rarely seen film by famed experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage was produced for the Colorado Department of Public Relations and is one of two films (the other being "Colorado Legend") to explore Colorado myths.

The Snafu character (the name is an unofficial military acronym for "Situation Normal, All F*cked Up") was created by famed director Frank Capra, who served during WWII as chairman of the U.S. Army Air Force First Motion Picture Unit. Most of the shorts were produced by Warner Brothers with Mel Blanc supplying the voice of Snafu. Some of the shorts were written by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel and directed by animation superstars Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Bob Clampett, and Frank Tashlin. The plots of most Snafu cartoons are straightforward, with the title character showing through his irresponsible behavior what NOT to do in the Army.  

"A Lecture on Camouflage" was directed by Chuck Jones in 1944. In the film Technical Fairy, First Class gives the troops "A Lecture On Camouflage" with the aid of Private Snafu.  Here, Snafu makes a series of mistakes that give away his position, and at the same time he is unaware of enemy soldiers who are disguised as trees and tree stumps. Snafu is eventually killed by a bomb dropped by an unseen German observation balloon. Meanwhile, the Fairy gets to romp with two lovely mermaids. 

The plot of "Booby Traps", directed by Bob Clampett in 1944, revolves around tripwires, snares and booby traps -- which were a menace for front line soldiers in the war. Here, Private Snafu is shown on patrol in North Africa, where he manages to find a hookah of TNT, a shapely harem girl with bombs for thighs, and a booby-trapped piano which seals his fate.

This film was created by Shell (:15). Shell Oil is one of the largest oil companies in the world first established in 1912. Throughout the 1960’s and into the 1980’s Shell was one of the oil companies conducting research into the harmful effects of the oil industry and pollution on the environment. As industry grows and creates waste, these pollutants end up in our ecosystems and waterways. Rivers are generally able to maintain and cleanse a manageable amount of pollutants through microbes and chemical processes in the waters. However, in an increasingly more industrious world, the earth and it’s water ways are being over polluted and new methods of handling and treating the waste must be developed. The film opens with signs of seasons changing; snow melting (:41) and orange flowers blossoming (1:33) to highlight the natural beauty of the environment. Waterways are traced down and through the town (2:45). Water is vital to cities for the survival of it’s inhabitants but also for methods of cleaning (3:20). 25 million gallons of water are required to clean the cathedral. A 1966 Volkswagen Beetle drifts through a car wash (3:38). A window washer uses water to clean city building windows (3:40). The film notes an average human uses 50 gallons of water daily (3:46). A reservoir follows from which some of city’s water source is pulled from (3:54). As water reservoir supplies begin to diminish, a reliance begins on lakes and rivers (4:16). Produce for consumers, such as peas, require water for washing (4:34). Once used, waste water washes down the drains and into the environment (4:44). Water is shown to be unsafe to drink by humans in an unpolluted river (5:04) as minerals and living organ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f99eb7d5-37ba-4cf7-bfeb-708bbf5f6b48/57bc1793-de0f-48d8-b30c-589b470c9dd1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wPNpLRo4jXHmjhXBfCeLAu</video:player_loc><video:duration>948</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T10:20:03.779Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/w7Yz5fdPvKEEbPReFVXquL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2cac8dac-0b0a-46c1-94ae-6da5fb0c1911.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DWAIN ESPER CULT MOVIE TRAILERS   "MARIHUANA" (1936) AND "MANIAC" (1934) w/ SNACK BAR AD  XD39084</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This short reel of film presents "Prevues of Coming Attractions" -- a movie theater "snipe" -- along with trailers for two cult exploitation features by Dwain Esper. The first is for the film "Marihuana" released by Roadshow Attractions Corp. The second (2:46) is for "Maniac" aka "Sex Maniac".   The coming attractions end and at 7:15 is another snipe for the movie theater snack bar featuring bon bon ice cream, candy and popcorn. There's a three minute intermission so you can stock up!

"Maniac" is a 1934 black-and-white film, directed by Dwain Esper and written by his wife Hildagarde Stadie. It is a loose adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe story "The Black Cat". The film  was advertised with the tagline "He menaced women with his weird desires!" Released in 1936, "Marihuana" was also directed by Esper and written by Stadie, who appears as an extra in the film. The trailer for "Marihuana" was infamous at the time of its release, as it showed an assault scene which was not featured in the actual movie.

This Castle Films newsreel dates to 1942 and shows the dramatic developments in the war in the Pacific, where the U.S. Navy repelled a Japanese invasion fleet at the Battle of the Coral Sea and then decisively crushed the Japanese fleet at Midway.  The film begins with footage of American troops on the move across the Pacific to Australia, where General Douglas MacArthur plans America's first offensive. Bombers are shown flying out of Port Moresby to harass the Japanese.  At 2:17, a disabled American plane makes a belly landing.  At 2:58, the port city of Darwin is shown with bomb damage after an aerial attack by Japanese planes. Darwin is shown on defensive posture with camouflaged anti-aircraft weapons in place (3:42). At 4:18, the Battle of the Coral Sea is shown. At 6:42 the USS Lexington is shown being straddled by enemy bombs. The ship is seen listing at 7:50 and was scuttled soon after. At 8:30, footage of the Battle of Midway -- including footage shot by director John Ford. At 12:00, Japanese cruisers are shown aflame and sinking. The film ends with military honors for some of the heroes of the victory.

The Battle of the Coral Sea took place between 4–8 May 1942,  as Japanese forces moved to invade and occupy Port Moresby in New Guinea and Tulagi in the southeastern Solomon Islands. 
The U.S. Navy learned of the Japanese plan by breaking the enemy's code, and sent two task forces to intercept. Beginning on 7 May, the two sides exchanged airstrikes over two consecutive days. The first day, the Japanese light carrier Shōhō was sunk, while the Japanese sank an American destroyer and heavily damaged a fleet oiler (which was later scuttled). The next day, the Japanese fleet carrier Shōkaku was heavily damaged, the USN fleet carrier Lexington was critically damaged (and later scuttled), and the Yor...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/96ec9a25-f0f2-4bea-b81d-3e30f8e1b5b4/0dfba996-dae8-45d8-ba90-c950c7892b8a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jCW5T5E7bctdyzHf2xPhXo</video:player_loc><video:duration>801</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T10:20:53.745Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t1kKidGFirJnPxyK53R2gF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7ae8b664-647d-4ff9-a070-225c38ac245f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"207 COMES TO TOWN"  1938 MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA NEW DEAL HOUSING  PARKLAKE DEVELOPMENT  XD50374</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This silent film "207 Comes to Town" was directed by Carroll R. Davidson and produced by the Minnesota Branch of the Prudential Insurance Co. of America, Mortgage Loan Department. The title of the film draws its name from Section 207 of the National Housing Act of 1934. This was part of the New Deal legislation which authorized mortgage insurance in order to make housing and home mortgages more affordable and stop the tide of bank foreclosures on family homes. The NHA created the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC). In 1938, Minneapolis, Minnesota's Parklake development, on Lake Calhoun (now known as Bde Maka Ska Park), became one of the first projects funded under Section 207.  Although the film refers to the building as the "Parklake", it appears that the name was later changed to the Calhoun Towers and, in more modern times, The Original and West Lake Quarter Community. It was designed by Leon Arnal, principal designer from the firm Magney and Tusler.  

The film follows the project from inception to occupancy, starting with shots of the development's sign at 1:29. At 1:40, trees are cut down and cleared by the James Leck Co. contractors. At 2:24, a wall is painted and at 2:43, concrete bricks are laid, and foundations installed 3:07. At 4:01, lumber walls are shown going up, and at 4:28 bricks laid. At 4:40, planks are installed and at 5:13 concrete poured.  At 6:41 an elevator is used to move concrete in wheelbarrows. At 8:00, 1930s cars line a street near the project. At 8:30 what appears to be a boiler is shown on the job site. At 10:00, bathtubs and sinks are installed. At 10:40, walls are plastered. At 10:55, mor...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dab2e9bc-6d82-434b-9f30-912c0cfcb8b9/c58b7168-311e-489b-81f6-55d1226d846e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/t1kKidGFirJnPxyK53R2gF</video:player_loc><video:duration>1071</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T10:21:20.902Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wT7MjwA1curHJfTeUQiKJN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1e301a0c-8874-4893-ae6b-c64bc9ec5679.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DUSTIN HOFFMAN PROMOTES VOLKSWAGEN TYPE 3 FASTBACK COMPACT CAR   VW TV COMMERCIAL XD38614b</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

In 1966, roughly a year before he became famous starring in "The Graduate",  actor Dustin Hoffman starred in this commercial promoting the Volkswagen Type 3 fastback sedan. He was 29 years old. At the time, one of the knocks against VW was that the cars were very small in size, and this ad worked against that stereotype. The car was produced until 1973. 

The Volkswagen Type 3 is a compact car was manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen from 1961 to 1973. Introduced at the 1961 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Type 3 was marketed as the Volkswagen 1500 and later as the Volkswagen 1600, in three body styles: two-door Notchback, Fastback and Variant, the latter marketed as the 'Squareback' in the United States. Like the Beetle,  the Type 3 rear-engined, 4-cylinder air-cooled engine, as well as body-on-chassis construction

This extremely clever, stop-motion animated sales film narrated by John Salzer for TRW is aimed at large scale corporate clients for mainframe computers. The film depicts company co-founder Simon Ramo’s concept of ‘polymorphic computing’ and is based on a "doodle essay" that he made (think -- 1960s pencil driven Power Point). The film anticipates innovations in the evolution of technology from parallel processing to peer to peer file sharing and cloud computing as well as the architecture of ARPANET and the architecture of the internet. The film was presented by TRW, an American corporation which was involved in several businesses including aerospace, automotive and credit reporting. Key figures of the company were Simon Ramo and Dean Wooldridge. The film is based on the animated work of Simon Ramo (:21). The animation shows how a computer must handle singular problems (1:44) and the need to process multiple problems simultaneously. Each parts of the computer work together and if one part fails; so does the whole system (1:56). A demonstration follows depicting how the individual parts are to be enticed to work operate freely while remaining in connection with one another (2:57). A diagram follows which is compared to the switchboard used by telephone companies (3:14). How a nationwide telephone system operates is shown as three grids are connected to one another (5:39). Private lines can be added and used separately (6:00). A small image appears showing Simon Ramo or Dean Wooldridge next to a large computer system (6:53). This film was produced by the TRW Information Staff (7:14).

Made in 1930, this filmic interpretation of African American composer James P. Johnson's jazz and orchestra piece "Yamekraw: A Negro Rhapsody" is a highly experimental short movie. The piece "Yamekraw" was named after a black community in Savannah, Georgia. It was directly inspired by Johnson's friend George Gershwin, who had achieved notoriety with "Rhapsody in Blue". 

“ Yamekraw ” was directed by Murray Roth, story by Stanley Rauh, cinematography by Edwin Dupar, based on the piece by James P. Johnson (1930). This experimental dialogue-free short illustrates a rural man’s trip to the big city and back with stylized sets that tend towards expressionism and surrealism. The imagery also includes racist stereotypes indicative of the compromised, sometimes disrespectful conditions under which such films were produced. The plot is fairly simple: a poor man ventures from his ramshackle, rural home to the big city, where a dancing girl in a dive two-times him Jimmy Mordecai plays the man and Margaret Simms plays his wife. Louise Cook appears as the dancer and Hugo Mariani as the bandleader. Opening titles: “Presented by Vitaphone, A Subsidiary of Warner Brothers Pictures. A Negro rhapsody which expresses the moods and the emotional side of Negro life. Yamekraw is a settlement on the outskirts of Savannah, Georgia. Directed by Murray Roth". A rural shack in disrepair. A farmer smokes a pipe. A young man steps out with his wife. A chorus joins in, waving their arms in shadows  The wife sings, the man departs. A child cries. A steam locomotive engine .

Made during WWII by Castle Films and sold for home use through camera and department stores, and by mail order, "Salute to the Navy!" shows the Navy's various capabilities two years after the devastating Pearl Harbor attack. The newsreel features footage of the air sea battles that raged near the Marshall Islands starting at (6:08).  Featured ships include: the battleship USS Texas, the submarine USS Wahoo, the cruisers USS San Francisco and USS Boise.  Also includes footage of fleet maneuvers of PT Boats, destroyers, aircraft carriers, battleships and L1 and G1 blimps on anti-submarine patrol. The film highlights the rapid and powerful growth of the United States Navy in response to the attack on Pearl Harbor. In less than two years, over 2.5 million men were recruited to man a $10 billion fleet, becoming some of the best-trained and most physically conditioned forces in the world. The film showcases the Navy's vast capabilities—from battleships and destroyers to cruisers, PT boats, submarines, and aircraft carriers—emphasizing their speed, strength, and relentless training. Dramatic battle footage illustrates coordinated sea and air power, particularly during fierce engagements near the Marshall Islands. The narrative underscores the Navy’s effectiveness in both offense and defense, highlighting its unmatched precision, morale, and resilience. Closing with a salute to the Navy’s might and the sacrifices of its sailors, the film serves as both tribute and propaganda, urging continued public support through war bonds.

Originally classified as "Confidential", this color film tells the story about the Army's Michigan Missile Plant, operated by the Chrysler Corporation (and formerly called the WWII Naval Industrial Reserve Aircraft Plant, and Chrysler Jet Engine Plant) near Detroit. This is circa the mid 1950s to 1961, when the Jupiter Missile and Redstone were in production. Because the film shows an IBM 704 computer, produced in 1954, it is more likely mid to late 1950s.  

Aerial shot of the gigantic Chrysler Jet Engine Plant. Front of the building - U.S. Army, Michigan Missile Plant, Detroit Ordnance District. Workers and engineers come to work. 1400 engineers sit at desks and design, work on plans. Three men discuss designs. Men look at the electrical design of a missile. Men at work in in technical panels. The PGM-19 Jupiter and Redstone PGM-11 missiles were built here (:07-2:08). People work with computers and a copy machine. Men work with giant computers inside the factory. A test is being conducted on the missile, smoke emanates from it. The front of the missile (looks like the PGM-11). A test missile is on a launchpad (2:09-3:58). Men and a female technician (2:15) work with mainframe type analog computers and look at gauges in the control room. At 2:34, an IBM 704 digital computer is shown. The IBM 704, introduced in 1954,was the first mass-produced computer with floating-point arithmetic hardware.  Vertical testing facility (3:42) used to test impacts including of water pressure on the missile (for submarine launch). At (4:10), high pressure hull test facility is shown with pneumatic controls.

Dating prior to 1964, this short film shows an early Apollo Program Lunar Module mock-up. The location is likely the Grumman plant at Bethpage, New York. Interestingly, the mock-up shows the astronaut pilot in a sitting position, which was part of the original design (later dismissed in favor of standing). The mock-up also features rounded windows, as opposed to the triangular design later utilized. The spacesuit seen in the film appears to be an ILC type, possibly the XMC but more likely an SOA (short for "State of the Art") or AX1L. At 3:40, a moving tread with a mock-up of the lunar service is shown. This was apparently connected to a TV camera, and used in concert with the mock-up to simulate a landing approach.

Dating to the 1980s or perhaps the 1990s, this film shows a live fire exercise put on by the People's LIberation Army of the People's Republic of China. The highly cinematic film showcases the PLA's capabilities and includes a look at high tech radar and weaponry, including high performance fighter aircraft, Mi8 transport helicopters, missiles, armor and artillery. Paratroops are also shown being deployed. Most of the weaponry is not identified, but at least some of the fighter aircraft shown appear to be Chengdu J-7, a Chinese version of the Russian Mig-21. 

The People's Liberation Army (PLA) is the armed forces of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the armed wing of the PRC's founding and ruling political party, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The PLA has five major service branches: the Ground Force (PLAGF), Navy (PLAN), Air Force (PLAAF), Rocket Force (PLARF), and the Strategic Support Force (PLASSF).

This silent 16mm film was shot by an unknown individual who was a railfan. It consists of various segments showing steam locomotives in the late 1940s.

The film begins with a title card, "The R.F&amp;P Kept Them Clean". This refers to the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad, a 113-mile bridge line that connected Richmond, Virginia, to Washington, D.C.  The 4-6-2 Pacific locomotive #310 shown at :16 bears the words "Washington &amp; Richmond" on the tender. At :59, color footage of Southern Railroad steam locomotives. The locomotive at 1:50 (image flopped) is marked Virginia on the tender. At 1:54, an antique Mogul steam engine with a spark arrestor is seen hauling passenger cars. This is the B&amp;O Railroad's William Mason, a 4-4-0 American Standard steam locomotive built at the Mason Machine Works. This was possibly shot in 1951, when the engine was loaned to the Erie Railroad and operated as a traveling exhibit as part of the railroad's centennial celebration. At 4:36, flopped footage, type unknown. At 5:10, either a Baltimore &amp; Ohio Consolidated Mallet 2-8-8-0 #7200 class or a member of the S-1 Class, possibly #6123 seen later. The #7200 class was retired by 1954, so if it's a #7200 the footage predates that year. These heavy engines were often used to pull loads of coal. A caboose rolls by at 5:30.

Here are two color educational films released by British Gas and the Shell Oil corporation. The first "Convection" was part of a British Gas educational film series called "Convection, Conduction, Radiation." This episode presents the story of convection and convection currents. Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat. Copyright is circa the 1960s. The second film, from the "World of Oil" series, describes how crude oil is found in the Earth. It dates to 1976. 

Title: Convection Conduction Radiation (:07-:15), produced by Stewart Films and directed by Clive Mitchell. Convection is explained and shown with a ball. Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat. Convection is shown with water. Convection currents are shown with a hot water system. A diagram explains how this works (:16-1:51). A model shows how a convection current works with smoke. A man sits near a fire in a home. Convection not working is shown. A modern heater system shows convection working properly. Convection helps in hot air balloons. Hot air balloons are being set up (1:52-3:46). Hot air balloons go up into the air. A glider in the sky. Gliders rely on natural occurring convection. How the sun warms certain parts quicker than others is shown and explained, this ties into thermal convection for a glider (3:47-5:19). Water vapor rises. A cumulus cloud. Rainstorm in England. Sea breezes are explained and shown. A diagram shows convection currents (5:20-6:34).

This silent reel of footage shows various atomic bomb tests performed by the United States. The first is the Able burst of Operation Crossroads at Bikini Atoll on July 1, 1946.  At 3:49 is footage of Ivy Mike,  the first full-scale test of a thermonuclear device, on November 1, 1952 at Enewetak Atoll. At 6:00, an unidentified, nighttime atomic bomb test at the Nevada Test Site. At 6:30 is one of the 1962 tactical nuclear weapon tests that were part of Operation Sunbeam (also known as Operation Dominic II) at the Nevada Test Site. The test at 8:52 is probably part of the same series. Both produce large mushroom clouds.

Filmed in the 1920s or early 1930s, this home movie was likely shot by Christian missionaries, and features delegates of the city of Hanzhou, Canton. The mission in question is very probably Congrégation du Cœur Immaculé de Marie – the Belgian Roman Catholic missionary congregation, established in 1865 in China and still present there.The footage starts by the scenes of everyday life for the water people of the Southern China and proceeds to show the missionary works of distributing food, clothing and giving some Western education in music to the local Chinese youth. The local delegates and congregation members are counted and written down in the Church registry with the traditional Chinese fingerprinting under names method.

Dating to the 1940s, this short film presents "The Jug Band", a group which was better known as the "Dixieland Jug Band" or the "Henry Miles Jug Band" after its leader, Henry Miles of Louisville. Miles worked in an orchestra but could also play the fiddle, guitar, violin, and mandolin. Oh and did we mention he could sing and dance too?  He is probably most remembered for his fiddle playing with the Ballard Chefs (1929-1932). The group performs "I Had a Dream Dear" (;27), "Shine" (1:57) and "Who's Sorry Now" (4:23).

Not much is known about the band shown here, other than that they were from Louisville. Henry Miles is the violinist and was still playing in Louisville (and elsewhere) with his jug band into the '80s and died in 1984. Noted music historian Mark Cantor says he believes the lineup with Miles is Bee Ferguson, rhythm guitar; Rudoph Thompson, jug; James Hardy, spoons, and George Stewart playing the four-string tenor Dobro.

This black &amp; white film shows the early stages of the Allied forces invasion at Anzio, Italy in 1944. The film lacks credits or other information, but likely dates to 1944. The Battle of Anzio took place from January 22 to June 5, 1944, when Rome was finally captured. The operation was opposed by German forces in the area of Anzio and Nettuno. The landing operation was commanded by U.S. Army Major General John P. Lucas of VI Corps. The initial landing achieved complete surprise. However Lucas failed to capitalize, and delayed his advance, allowing German Field Marshal Albert Kesselring to create a defensive ring around the beachhead.  After a month of heavy but inconclusive fighting, Lucas was relieved and sent home. His replacement, Major General Lucian Truscott, managed a breakout in May. His forces captured Rome, but at the same time allowed the majority of Kesselring's forces to withdraw to the Gothic Line. The Gothic Line wouldn't be pierced until September of 1944, but the advanced soon stalled with the arrival of winter. 

Opening titles: Anzio Beachhead Feb, 12, 1944 (:06-:09). U.S. troops exit ships. Troops use amphibious craft to get to land. Planes fly in the skies. Troops walk down a dock.

Narrated by David Ralphie, filmed by George Doland and Brian Kellman, and co-written and produced by Roy Bishop, "About Addiction" dates to the 1970s. The film was created to educate the youth about proper and improper drug use. It draws a compassion between prescription drugs, alcohol, coffee, over-eating and illicit drug use. The opening scenes show the narrator informing viewers addiction is a dependence on anything taken into the body (:16). Chemicals are introduced into our lives from an early age as a child’s umbilical cord is cut (:41) and silver nitrate is set into the eyes to prevent blindness. Assembly lines pump prescription medications down (1:10). By this time period and through the pharmaceutical industry; an idea was really marketed that a pill could be taken to cure any aliment or issue (1:19). The comparison is drawn between a caffeine addict (2:20) to a heroin abuser. Both are utilizing substances for non-medical use. On a casino floor, adults sip alcoholic beverages (3:01). At an evening party, youth take LSD and smoke weed (3:05). In both scenarios, people are choosing to alter their reality. The film turns to show those in the deep throws of addiction as a man smokes a cigarette and drinks straight from a bottle of alcohol (3:36). Red and difficult to see footage follows of drug users shooting up on the sidewalk (4:18). The phases of addiction are depicted such as behavioral changes, changes in mood and increase in intake of the substance (5:29). A woman prostitutes herself to support her habit (8:55). As both alcohol and heroin are depressants; they will lead to suicidal thoughts. Images of Janis Joplin (6:23) and Jimi Hendrix appear (6:25). Janis passed from a heroin overdose. Hendrix suffocated while under the influence of alcohol. Actual and graphic images follow of corpses dead from narcotic re...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d6e3f9ea-6fc9-491e-bb06-e8fea7c9e3ff/e555c2f0-d69f-424f-92cd-4bdfa841ed7c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sx4KNo6TyH9KGU6foNdTRZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>577</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T10:37:27.005Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/r9CvMwFLLKaFRBWKcnZhhF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c3005545-536a-4ee3-9826-93c06459d921.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1975 FULL TIME FOUR WHEEL DRIVE CHEVY TRUCKS PROMO FILM   CHEVROLET SUBURBAN &amp; PICKUP TRUCKS  19974a</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Shot by an unknown American, this 16mm silent home movie shows a visit to Hawaii and in particular Honolulu and its environs. It dates from the pre-war era, the late 1930s or early 1940s. One interesting aspect of this film is that it contains images of the famed boat Idle Hour (3:48), owned by Seattle resident Dwight Long. Long, who had very little experience at sea, bought the 32-foot ketch and ended up sailing it continuously for four years prior to the outbreak of WWII. (It's not clear if Long himself appears in the film). The middle of the film shows some signs of the impending war, including a young boy trying on a gas mask (9:30), and when the family leaves the islands at the end of the film it appears they may be leaving on a military vessel and not an ordinary passenger ship.

Opening: A woman walks with a boy, a sign reads Murle Ogden near them. (Murle Ogden was a portrait photographer who was based at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. The start of the film was likely shot at a bungalow on the hotel grounds). Family scenes: a dog runs, a boy walks in a yard holding a ball. The boy hoses down the grass. A man and a boy play with a hose that sprays water. A woman walks down the steps holding the hand of a young boy. A man holds the hand of a boy and walks over to a car, it's a windy day. A woman walks with an older lady

Two primary aircraft were built --  the F2H-1 and the more powerful F2H-2 which was equipped with the Westinghouse J34-WE-34. Versions of the F2H-2 included the nuclear capable F2H-2B, the night fighter F2H-2N, and the F2H-2P photo reconnaissance aircraft. This film was made in 1953.

Made in the 1940s, this training film (not complete unfortunately) shows the basics of how to install a telephone line drop wire. The drop wire is a cable running from a pole or cable terminus to a building, for example a house. Sometimes it is referred to as a downlead. 

Three residential scenario "jobs" are shown. The first is not complete (film damaged); the second shows the linesman placing his ladder directly against a telephone line to make the installation. The third job involves installation across a busy street. The instructions show how to do the installation safely, while minimizing the chance of cable abrasion or sag. At 5:23, a span clamp is shown in use. This device is used mid-span when no pole is available nearby.

Hosted by Ossie Davis, this 1965 educational film "Heritage of the Negro" was made by the National Educational Television and Radio Center. The film is part of a series called "History of the Negro People." This episode challenges Eurocentric accounts of African history. While the film features many outdated ideas and terms, and contains racist imagery of Black people, these images and terms are used as examples of harmful stereotypes that suppress the richness of African-descended people and their histories. The film is split between documenting the lived experiences of African Americans, critiquing the use of the word “negro”, and educating about the history of Africa.

This Cuban band was filmed by Norman Schley, a filmmaker who produced a series of travelogues called "Picturelogues". This segment was intended to be used in a film he made about Cuba and the island nations of the Caribbean entitled "Treasure Islands", but for whatever reason this ended up on the proverbial cutting room floor.  Unfortunately the name of the band, band members, and the resort where they performed, is not known. The date it was filmed is likely the late 1950s. This was likely filmed on Schley's Auricon, sync-sound 16mm motion picture camera.

This fascinating 16mm home movie, from the Rowland family collection, shows a fan trip on the Erie and Lackawana Railroad made in the late 1930s or early 1940s, originating in Hawley, Pennsylvania. Located in Wayne County, Hawley was the site of a large coaling station. The Erie locomotives shown are apparently #2732 (:58), #3048 (1:41),  #4123 (2:20), and #2498 (2:41).  At 1:26, the Pioneer Coach at Hawley, Pennsylvania is shown, originally part of the Pennsylvania Coal Company gravity railroad. At 1:44, a 1910 Model T Ford is shown at Hawley. At 2:44, huge coal piles are shown, probably at a mine.  At 3:13, passengers disembark and walk across a high railroad trestle. At 3:48, the film shows Baltimore &amp; Ohio Railroad historical locomotives including an American type #25 (3:56) "William Mason", the "William Calloway" (4:00), the Tom Thumb (4:13), and others. At 5:00, B&amp;O #462 and other locomotives are shown including #2437,  #710, #1442, #5311 (5:30), the George Emerson (5:41) #5600, and a dockside type #98 (6:21). At 6:32 a huge brick roundhouse is shown. At 6:43 the film shows Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, and at (8:04) a boy and his dog and a house in the suburbs. 

The #5600 locomotive shown in the film was the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's sole Class N-1 steam locomotive, and the first duplex locomotive and the first 4-4-4-4 locomotive ever built. It was designed and built by the railroad's own shops in 1937 but retired in 1943 due to mechanical issues, and finally scrapped in 1950.

Made during WWII for the benefit of air crew and anti-aircraft gunnery crews, this identification film profiles the Imperial Japanese Navy's Type 95 fighter biplane, and the Type 96 torpedo bomber biplane. Films such as this one were important training tools, and used not only to allow proper reporting of engagements and kills, but to prevent friendly-fire incidents. It's noteworthy that both aircraft shown in this film had American counterparts, in the case of the Type 95 the Boeing P-12 looked extremely similar. The Type 96 somewhat resembled a Curtiss SBC4, as the film shows at (9:06).

The Type 95 (1:04), also known as the Nakajima A4N, was a carrier-based fighter used by the Imperial Japanese Navy, and the last biplane designed by Nakajima. The first prototype was completed in 1934, but due to engine trouble the aircraft did not see service until 1936. Given the Nakajima internal designation Nakajima YM, the Japanese Navy designation was Navy Type 95 Carrier Fighter. A total of 221 were built.

The Type 96 (seen at 7:15), also known as Yokosuka B4Y, carrier torpedo bomber was used by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service from 1936 to 1943. It was a three place aircraft. The B4Y was the last biplane bomber used operationally by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Allied reporting name was "Jean".

The Internet has scant information on the L/28, but it was apparently designed for rapid movement and positioning, and the narrator notes that it was intended to be positioned quickly so as to hold off a paratroop or partisan type attack. Whereas prior to WWII Bofors had developed a 10.5 cm howitzer (also known as the Model 1924), this model appears to be different and may have never gone into volume production.  Like the M1924, this howitzer was designed for motor traction with rubber-rimmed steel wheels. It had a firing platform that gave it 360° traverse. This gun appears to be a light version of the 10.5 cm kanon m/34, a heavy field gun produced in Sweden and also designed for motor towing. The m/34 was a development of the earlier 10.5 cm Cannon Model 1927, with the carriage being used by various Bofors 15 cm howitzers of the 1930s. No copyright but this is circa the 1950s/1960s.

Opening titles: The Bofors 10.5 - CM Field Howitzer (:07-:15). Truck goes over a bridge. The Bofors 10.5 - CM Field Howitzer is fired. It is then shown broken down into pieces. The legs are first and slowly the entire CM Field Howitzer is pieced together by Bofors technicians. Parts of the gun and its features are explained. CM Field Howitzer spins (:16-2:59). The CM Field Howitzer is shown almost complete, the barrel is then added. A hand pulls down to demonstrate firing. Loading tray. A man pushes down on it. The main body of the CM Field Howitzer is shown. The front of the CM Field Howitzer is shown and parts and pieces are explained. Total weight of the gun is 2.6 tons (3:00-5:56). Animated diagram shows supporting plate and the CM Field Howitzer spinning 360 degrees upon it. How to prevent it tipping over is explained. Gun is moved by a military tractor. Swedish or Swiss soldier walks through mud, waves the tractor over. Gun is towed through dirt and mud (5:57-7:46).

This documentary film "Babi Yar: Lessons of History”  dates to the 1970s; it was released in the West in the 1980s. It was originally produced by Soviet filmmakers through the Ukrainian Studio of TV Films. The film depicts the horrors of the Nazi occupation of Ukraine and the massacre of Jewish people during the Holocaust at Babi Yar - where they were buried in a mass grave outside of Kyiv. The film is a historical account of events and warns nations about the dangers of Neo-Nazi ideologies around the world, especially in the United States. The events are told from the perspective of Ukrainian-Jewish poet Vitaly Korotich through voice over that is intertwined with survivor testimonies and archival footage. (Note: The film has been subject to criticism since the time of its release, as some facts are in dispute, and the narration / translation may not always be accurate, and historical images are sometimes misused or used out of context.)

"Booby Traps" is one of a series of "Private Snafu" short cartoons produced between 1943 and 1945.  The Snafu character (the name is an unofficial military acronym for "Situation Normal, All F*cked Up") was created by famed director Frank Capra, who served during WWII as chairman of the U.S. Army Air Force First Motion Picture Unit. Most of the shorts were produced by Warner Brothers with Mel Blanc supplying the voice of Snafu. Some of the shorts were written by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel and directed by animation superstars Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Bob Clampett, and Frank Tashlin. The plots of most Snafu cartoons are straightforward, with the title character showing through his irresponsible behavior what NOT to do in the Army.  

The plot of "Booby Traps" revolves around tripwires, snares and booby traps -- which were a menace for front line soldiers in the war. Here, Private Snafu is shown on patrol in North Africa, where he manages to find a hookah of TNT, a shapely harem girl with bombs for thighs, and a booby-trapped piano which seals his fate.

Made to be shown to veterinary distributors of Puss'n Boots Cat food, this hilarious short film stars two lovely ladies dressed in leotards (think "Josie and the Pussycats"). The commercial promotes the fact that the brand will soon include healthy, polyunsaturated fats in the product. As the spokeswomen explain, polyunsaturates are viewed by the public as a "magic word" that will obviously help boost sales.We don't know if it worked, but for a time Puss'n Boots was the #1 cat food brand in America. 

Puss'n Boots was originally introduced in the 1930s by Coats Fishing Company, and later acquired by Quaker Oats in the 1950s. Despite its success and name recognition, the brand was dropped once it was acquired by Del Monte Foods.  The current owner of the brand name is Retrobrands, LLC based in Florida.

Dating to the 1950s (probably 1956-57), this short segment of the live TV program "The Alvino Rey Show" features comedian Jim Hawthorne showing how to improve a breakfast nook. Hawthorne starts a "do it yourself" project and of course, ends up causing complete chaos. The program was entirely live and, while obviously featuring many planned gags, much of it was likely ad-libbed. Announcer Harry Von Zell plays straight man here.

Jim Hawthorne (November 20, 1918 – November 6, 2007) was an American radio personality and comic actor. He was a disc jockey who was a pioneer of "free form" radio. Hawthorne was born in Victor, Colorado and began his career at a Denver radio station. He eventually landed in Los Angeles, California where he worked not only in radio, but also in early television and short films. In 1950, he created, produced and starred in the Saturday night coast-to-coast radio program, The Hawthorne Thing, which was the final network radio show to originate in NBC's Hollywood Radio City. At KLAC/Channel 13 in the early 1950s, he created the first late evening talk show on television, This Is Hawthorne. An article in the LA Times reflecting on early TV described the show as "predecessor of NBC's Saturday Night Live." On KNBH/Channel 4, beginning in 1952, he did a daily five-minute weather show. In 1958, Jim traveled to KYA-San Francisco and created Voice Your Choice, which he brought to KDAY. In the early 1960s, while doing Instant Weather on KTTV/Channel 11, Hawthorne joined KFWB as assistant PD and morning DJ, and eventually became VP, National Program Manager for Crowell-Collier Broadcasting. While still at KFWB he joined Sherman Grinberg Productions as a writer, producer, narrator. He produced Jim Hawthorne's Funny World and Quicky Quiz television comedy shorts.

This recently re-discovered silent, black and white, 16mm home movie dates to 1927 and was likely filmed by someone who hailed from the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. The film is noteworthy in that it contains footage of famed baseball player George Herman "Babe" Ruth. Raw film footage of Babe Ruth is rare — so rare that less than an hour's worth is said to exist in the archives of Major League Baseball.

The first footage shown in the film is of the dramatic horseshoe curve of the Allegheny River at Brady’s Bend, PA, (about 60 miles northeast of Pittsburgh). After some footage of hunting dogs and fishermen, there is footage of a packed football stadium (most likely this is the famed Yale Bowl in New Haven, Connecticut), and finally footage of Game 1 of the 1927 World Series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Yankees at Forbes Field, Pittsburgh, on October 5, 1927. There you’ll see Babe Ruth take batting practice, Pirates third baseman Harold Joseph "Pie" Traynor nearly run into a movie camera, and Kenesaw Mountain Landis (the first Commissioner of Baseball) in the crowd.

This documentary account of the Fourth National Boy Scout Jamboree in 1957 also serves as a promotional vehicle for the Bell Telephone Company, who installed a complex of phone booths for the event. The film stresses a multitude of values inculcated through the summit, including martial masculinity, religious toleration, Cold War multilateralism, and the enjoyment of grilled hot dogs. (TRT 17:26). The National Scout jamboree is a gathering of thousands of members of the Boy Scouts of America, usually held every four years and organized by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Referred to as "the Jamboree", "Jambo", or NSJ, Scouts from all over the nation and world have the opportunity to attend. They are considered to be one of several unique experiences that the Boy Scouts of America offers.

One of a series of "Air Force Now" news magazine films made by the U.S. Air Force, this edition dates to 1976. It begins with a bicentennial look at the Revolutionary War fought in 1775-1783. The film opens with the narrator standing in Middlesex County, Massachusetts at the site of the Lexington Green (:31). The British were met with resistance from Minutemen fighters here as a reenactment of this event takes place (:42). A monument honoring the fallen Minutemen stands near the narrator (:56). The Old North Church in Boston is pointed to (1:01) as well as a plaque for Paul Revere (1:06). From this church, the signal “one if by land, two if by sea” was sent out. The Bridge of Concord was the sight of combat between the British and American Minutemen (1:23). During the first year of the Revolution, the US Army and Navy were born (1:40). Later years led to the development of the Air Force. The title screen follows (2:38). The film turns to a modern Air Force base in Barksdale, Louisiana presenting how far the Air Force has come (3:11). The Strategic Air Command’s Bombing and Navigation Command Station includes the top air crews in SACS (3:13). They take part in the 1974 Strategic Air Command Combat Competition.

Released by Sterling Films for the home market in the 1940s, "Shark on the Line" was directed J.W. Trerise and E.L. Cranstone, and based on materials originally gathered by the Australian Dept. of Information. 

This short film depicts sharks in Australia, including the best waters for shark fishing. This film was produced with material provided by the Australian Department of Information (:15). The most fruitful waters for shark fishing are off the Queensland Coast of Australia (:26). Bull sharks cut through the water on the ocean floor (:33). The Queensland Game Fishing Association weighing station at Brisbane follows (:47). Fishermen load up a vessel with fishing gear and supplies for a trip (:58). The troupe stops at the lighthouse along their journey (1:25). Mail, newspapers and beer are moved from the fishing vessel to the lighthouse (1:28). Note: this appears to be the Moreton Bay Pile Light, which was destroyed in 1949 by a collision with a ship. Diving seagulls fly by as the vessel continues on its journey (1:46) informing the men of fish nearby. One of the men readies his fishing pole (1:55). Mackerel fight in the waters (2:06). As the mackerel is pulled onto the ships surface, a small fish is still seen in it’s mouth (2:11). Another fisherman harpoons one of the fish (2:26). The troupe sets course for the coral reef (2:55). The anchor is dropped here (3:00). The men fill balloons (3:13) in order to keep the lines from breaking on the coral. Dead fish are used for bait (3:21). One of the men adds dried blood into the water to further entice the sharks (3:33). They then relax as they wait for the sharks to take the bait (3:58). Some use the time to hand line fish for cod (4:10). Lines full of fish are pulled onto the surface (4:26). The line begins to move as a shark takes the bait (5:04).

Presented by Fox Studio founder William Fox, this rare, silent educational film "Everyday Geography" was one of a series of non-fiction movies released under the title "The Fox Hour". This episode "How We Get Sugar" likely dates to the late 1920s/early 1930s. 
 
This episode shows viewers the process with which we get different types of sugar, including cane sugar, beet sugar and maple sugar (:34). The scene opens with a child at a breakfast table eating cereal (:50). She is pictured adding heaps of white sugar to her cereal (:59). The sugar used is derived from sugar cane (1:18). The cane, once ripened is cut down (1:47). Black or African American field workers use machetes to hack at the cane stalks (1:59). Stalks are moved into wagons which are pulled by oxen in order to transport it to the railroad (2:05). The cane is drug up by a crane (2:44) to be loaded into a railcar. The train is pictured as it transports the cargo to a sugar cane factory (3:14). The rail cars are emptied here (3:30). Within the factory the cane is cut and crushed (4:11). Other machines within the factory produce brown sugar (4:49). The remaining portion which doesn’t turn into sugar is molasses (5:30). The brown sugar is packed into bags to be shipped out (5:44). Large stacks of brown sugar are seen which will be shipped to a sugar refinery in order to be bleached into white sugar (6:18). The sugar packs are unloaded from the train (6:49). White sugar can also be derived from beets (7:11) as horses pull a plow through a beet field. Field workers cut off the tops of the beets (7:50). The beets are heaved into a cart which will take them to the railroad (8:16). These are shown being dumped into the rail cars (8:45). The rail cars then head for the factory (9:04). Within the factory, the beets are washed and cut up (9:19).

Produced by Richard Wayman and narrated by Wayne Byers, "Signal 30" is one of the most notorious driver's education films ever produced. The title of the film is derived from a police code, referring to a fatal traffic accident. The film is comprised of actual, often gruesome footage taken immediately after the automobile accidents had occurred. The hope was that young drivers who saw the film, would literally be scared into taking a more cautious approach to driving. The film was made by the Highway Safety Foundation of Mansfield, Ohio.

This color silent film was shot as part of F-105D ejection seat tests. No test is shown, but the footage would likely have been intercut with an actual test, and then released to the Pentagon or the press. The slates indicate all the material was shot at the rocket sled facility at Hurricane Flats in Washington County, Utah on July 20, 1960. The seat shown being tested at the time was designed by Republic Aircraft and, according to Ejectionsite.com, used in at least one successful ejection in operation service. This seat used a Rocket/Catapult ROCAT system and was fully automated.

Opening: Camera Slate for 'Ejection Seat.' Costumed dummy sits. Camera slate. Dummy fitted into an ejection seat that is held by a rope.

It was founded in 1955, and at the time was the largest marine-life attraction in the world.

“California” is the second episode in the 1940s motion picture series This Land Of Ours, from Carl Dudley Productions. The episode gives viewers an overview of the “Golden State.” California is a diverse state, boasting the nation’s tallest point—Mt. Whitney (01:11)—and the nation’s lowest point—Death Valley (01:23). El Camino Real (01:33) is an old pathway of Hispanic missions that connects San Diego in the south to Sonoma in north. The state’s wild gold rush days are commemorated with a statue of the man who ignited the rush, James W. Marshall (02:02), and placer mining machines continue to mine for gold today. The state’s capital building in Sacramento (02:30) is one of the oldest in the country. The state’s oldest city, however, is San Diego (03:05). North of San Diego is San Francisco, a bustling metropolis with a busy port, cable cars, and the famous Golden Gate Bridge (03:16). Los Angeles (03:54) is one of the most populated cities in the U.S. It is home to world-class institutions of higher education, including UCLA (04:14) and USC (04:21). USC and its LA Memorial Coliseum draw huge crowds each year (04:41) for the annual “Tournament of Roses.” With its diverse climate and geography, California has the natural resources to be self-sustaining if need be. The great Central Valley and its two major rivers, the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers (05:09), provide incredible irrigation and soil conditions to produce all kinds of fruits. Citrus fruits are grown throughout the southern part of state, while Imperial Valley (05:39) has been transformed into rich agriculture environment. Livestock (06:00) is another major industry in the state and source of food. Mining is still common and lucrative, but oil is now the most profitable (06:14).

The stage accelerated the Saturn V through the upper atmosphere with 1,000,000 pounds-force (4.4 MN) of thrust. The film shows NAA production facilities around the United States, emphasizes the importance and role of the employees, and details the science behind the rocket's configuration and technology.

One of the episodes of the ABC TV series "Discovery '70", this program focuses on the Navajo people and American artist David Chethlahe Paladin (he died in 1984). The program is hosted by Bill Owen and Virginia Gibson.  

David Chethlahe Paladin was an extremely influential artist through his contributions to modern Native American art. Paladin was born in 1926 on a Navajo reservation in Arizona. The film opens with a young Navajo boy chopping at wood with an ax (:14) somewhere in the Painted Desert in Northern Arizona. David Paladin is first pictured (:25) just prior to the title screen (1:02). Bill Owens and Virginia Gibson narrate and host the episode. Students are seen in class at Tuba City Boarding School used for children arriving from Navajo reservations too far to be reached by school buses (1:55). Paladin’s infamous painting known as “Nativity” is shown (4:13) which had been selected by UNICEF. His signature is zoomed in on to show the word Chethlahe (5:39) meaning little turtle. Paladin’s artistic process follows as he works on a piece inspired by and old pictograph discovered on a cave wall in the four corners area of the Navajo Reservation (6:34). He is shown using sand which had traditionally been used in Native American art for ceremonies aimed at curing the sick and for warding off of evil spirits (7:45). Other works of his include the ‘Standing Cow’ (8:09). Paladin today resides in a suburban home in Prescott, Arizona (9:37). Images follow of Canyon de Chelly on the Navajo reservation in Arizona where Paladin was born (9:46). Raymond Yellow, a 15-year-old Navajo boy is pictured working on his family’s farmland in Gray Mountain, Arizona (10:47). He goes to school at the Tuba City Boarding school (10:55).

This film is a silent travelogue showing a trip from the cold winter of Wisconsin to the sunny beaches of Florida. It was created by Norman Schley,  a gifted filmmaker who had a series of what he called "Picturelogues", some of which aired on television. This particular film, which is more like a well done home movie, takes viewers on a winter road trip from Wisconsin to Florida. If you'd seen the film back in the day, Schley would likely have narrated it live. This version is silent.  

The film begins with shots of winter homes enclosed in snow (:16), possibly in Waukesha, Wisconsin where Norm lived. A small boy, probably Norm's son Bill, hurls snowballs at the camera’s direction (:39). Within the home, the boy’s parents (presumably) flip through the newspaper (1:09). The man points to an entry in a magazine about sand sailing in Florida (1:39). He then sets down to spark up a cigar (2:10). His wife brings him a map of the US (2:47) as they plot their route to Florida. Over the map, the man tosses out other brochures from trips previously enjoyed (3:38). As the sun sets, the boy and father move luggage to their vehicle for the trip (4:10) including Roxo bottled water. The car moves down the highway as the road trip begins (4:50). A narrow creek is captured running through a wooded forest (5:22). The red car is pictured sitting outside the entryway to West Baden College (6:21) in Indiana (now West Baden Springs Hotel). Tall teepees are viewed at Wigwam Village in Cave City, Kentucky (6:45). A colonial style two story plantation home is viewed within the woods of Michigan (7:24). The Wheeler Dam appears (8:11) notifying viewers the film is now on the Tennessee river in Alabama between...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/de23848f-be61-4964-b4d4-00c874437332/8730fdae-aaa5-4331-b78c-a85fa60a000e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tqYENxZZWWQffU2J954Qhs</video:player_loc><video:duration>867</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T13:11:34.315Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kneCddPBKTzdmLend669xx</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6a601778-44f4-4d07-9f11-8c2dab458080.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“A TIME TO DIE”  1970s DANGERS OF DRINKING AND BOATING   ANTI-ALCOHOL ABUSE WARNING FILM  XD46374</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Created by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, "A Time To Die" teaches an age-old lesson about how alcohol and boating don't mix, and can have catastrophic consequences. The film begins with two male friends, heading out to water ski on a sunny summer day. The pair consume high amounts of Budweiser beer throughout the day. At the end of the film an accident takes place costing the life of one of the boys. This film was created with the intention of showing viewers the dangers of operating machinery while under the influence, especially vehicles and boats. It is relevant to note some of the footage is considerably graphic. The film has no credit sequence per se, but seems likely to have been created by students at the University of Nebraska's Speech and Dramatic Arts Dept.

One of the boys walks from the front door of his home (:21) as his friend arrives with a car trailering a boat (:43). The boys drink and crinkle beer cans as they prepare for their water ski adventure (1:00). The blonde male prepares to water ski nearly forgetting to put on his life vest which his friend offers to him (1:51). The boat pushes off from the harbor (2:48). During the first go, the blonde male loses control and flips into the water (4:53). The second attempt ends in the same manner (5:27) as their inhibitions and hand eye coordination has been relaxed from the alcohol. While driving the speed boat, the driver drops a can of beer and seeks to fish it out from the floor of the boat (5:38). The blonde male is still in the water at this point and due to the distracted driving of his friend, the boats propeller strikes the blonde male in the neck (5:50). Footage follows of the body floating in a pool of it’s own blood (5:56). The friend frantically waves down the coast guard (6:14) as a police officer on scene radios in for assistance (6:14...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9cd4a666-322c-40c0-a7a0-3c21f6ba5f9d/0138f50c-e9bc-4caf-82f9-c74271e7232e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kneCddPBKTzdmLend669xx</video:player_loc><video:duration>540</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T13:12:51.524Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/crSZwv4sVsfP2nBnsxaepP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f2613bc9-295a-446e-b402-f1c5520b1731.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>VISIT TO 1964 NEW YORK WORLD's FAIR   UNISPHERE  QUEENS  NEW YORK CITY     (SILENT) XD50604</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Produced by Rockett Pictures, Inc. in collaboration with the United States Ministry of Mines and sponsored by the Richfield Oil Corporation, this 1950 French-language film titled “Le Nevada et Ses Ressources Naturelles” acts as a promotional film for the State of Nevada to a foreign audience. The film is a montage of clips underscoring Nevada’s natural riches and the ways the state has benefited economically and grown from the industries associated with them. According to the film, which was distributed by the United States Information Service, the Spaniards were the first to enter the state’s territory in 1776 but did not stay long due to the tough terrain and hostility from the native population. Nonetheless, during the Westward Expansion, pioneers and explorers came to settle and started to develop the state's silver industry. Due to the sharp decline in the value of silver at one point, this industrial momentum slowed but later returned strong amongst other industries landing the US at the top of the list of global silver producers alongside Mexico, Canada, Australia, Germany, Japan, India, and Burma. Richfield Oil Corp. merged with Atlantic Refining Company in 1966 to form the Atlantic Richfield Company (later renamed ARCO

Made in 1956 by Castle Films, this movie "The Fabulous Harlem Globetrotters" was originally sold for the home market in camera and department stores and via mail order. We haven't been able to confirm it, but we believe this film includes Clarence Wilson, George "Meadowlark" Lemon, Charlie Hoxie, Roman Turmon, Andy Johnson, Woodrow "Woody" Sauldsberry, Carl Green, Leon Hillard, Willie Gardner, and others. The famed Washington Generals are also shown in the exhibition match that occurs about halfway through the film. 

The Harlem Globetrotters are arguably one of the most famous teams in the history of professional basketball. Originating in the South Side of Chicago and eventually moving to New York City, the Globetrotters were and still are an exhibition basketball team who combine athleticism, comedy, and theater in their style of play. Shortly before this newsreel was released, the team had reached new heights of popularity stemming from their big win against the Minneapolis Lakers (now Los Angeles Lakers) at the World Professional Basketball Tournament in 1948. Produced by Castle Films, a film company founded by former newsreel cameraman Eugene W. Castle, the film highlights the profound skill set of the team both in regards to basketball and comedy. The film starts by capturing the Harlem Globetrotters as they do warm-up drills and later follows the team as they play and beat an opposing team in a basketball game.

This black &amp; white film was made by the Illinois Education Association during WWII in 1942 and released in 1943. According to the official description, "Backing up the Guns" shows  "the fine work of the schools in training workers for war industries, in turning out citizens who are physically 
fit and mentally awake. It shows how the schools stand as the great bulwarks of democracy by passing on to the generations of youths passing through their portals our great heritage of freedom. This is not the usual soft, wishy-washy series of scenes of boys and girls playing at life, but shows that youth and their schools are doing their part. It is a morale builder of the highest 
order."

Made in 1953 by British Petroleum, this film about oil tankers shows the rapidly growing oil industry launching new and larger ships to keep up with consumer demand. It also explains the increase in need for oil tankers. It presented by British Petroleum (:11) and produced by Greenpark (:24). It was directed by R.Q. McNaughton, photographed by Roland Stafford, and produced by Humphrey Swingler with music by Robert Sharples. The film opens with scenes of a British harbor master or coastal lookout readying himself for the day (:55). He views the waters around him through a telescope as the narrator speaks about how the world’s population of ships continued to increase (1:04). A large passenger liner moves through the water (1:09). An oil tanker is spotted (1:14). Observers had begun to spot tankers more frequently; about 1 in 4 ships. As the world turned to a stronger reliance on oil, oil tankers became more prevalent. A large snow plow, requiring oil for operation, blows through deep snow (1:50). A lighthouse is shown with the lamphouse featured (1:53). Oil is shown moved by pipeline (2:27), though much of it must be moved by sea. Daily, about ten million tons of oil were in transit (2:35). Oil takers are pictured on the move (2:48). The Britannic House, headquarters of BP, monitored and decided where the tankers were to travel to (3:00). Variables which must be taken into account include the suitability of ships for ports and cargo (3:10), the ship’s requirement for relieving officers and crews (3:15) and the current demand for oil (3:29). The French vessel, the Prairial (3:43) is pictured at harbor. One of the ships is diverted as the cargo is needed at another refinery (3:59). The Morse coded message is received here by the British vessel (4:16) as it was moving up the English Channel.

This episode of "Your Hit Parade" popular music show dates to October 16, 1954. The presentation is a kinescope, or a television signal that was recorded from a TV set onto 16mm film. The "Hit Parade" musical review show was sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes and Richard Hudnut Quick Home Permanent, and features advertisements for both products. At 13:21, golfer Sam Snead promotes Luckys. At :33, the animated Lucky Strike cigarettes sequence was created by special effects guru Ray Harryhausen. "Your Hit Parade" featured elaborate sets and choreography that was inspired both by Hollywood movies and "soundies" -- popular short film versions of popular songs. The show utilized a cast to perform the songs, as opposed to playing the versions then on the air. The "Your Hit Parade" program started out on radio before moving to television in 1950, and ran until 1959. The show presented seven top hit songs. This episode features Giselle Mackenzie, Roy Landman  / Snooky Lanson, Polly Bergen, and Russel Arms, as well as Raymond Scott and the Hit Parade Orchestra. (Some other singers on "Your Hit Parade" in this era often included Dorothy Collins, Eileen Wilson and June Valli.)  Songs include "This Old House", "The High and the Mighty", "Bugle Call Band" (orchestrated by Raymond Scott), "If I Give My Heart To You", "Mary Comes Home This Date", "Skokiaan", "Sh-Boom", "Mountain Greenery",  and #1 song of the week - "Hey There." At 24:30, a longer ad for Richard Hudnut Home Permanent with Julia Mead.  The songs featured on the program were selected as a result of a secret survey, supposedly based on best selling sheet music and phonograph records, plus tabulations made of songs most heard on the radio and most played on jukeboxes.  at (00:23:51:23) is a TV Commercial For The Crosley  Super-V Portable Television selling for $...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a51970de-f5e8-4c7e-9819-abf3b31b3975/560a6925-48c6-4ce0-9317-6e6c79508473-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mossvE9Y8odEm9ZLegvjAz</video:player_loc><video:duration>1789</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T13:17:31.651Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vD7aNZtkwFo69rp43H5Rfi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f9a9ba3f-1d8f-41df-934f-65c727d0294d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>REDONDO BEACH CALIFORNIA 1960s SURFING &amp; VW DUNE BUGGY FOOTAGE (SILENT)   XD51054</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

A pair of black bears waddles through the road (4:32) as passerby’s stop their vehicles for a closer look (4:49). Bryce Canyon in Utah is the next destination (5:37). The canyon is generally traveled to by way of the Scenic Byway 12; often referred to as one of the most scenic roads in the country. The massive expanse of the canyon is captured (7:10) with close shots of the ornate and intricate hoodoos (7:31). The Glen Canyon Dam (8:32) formed the man made revisor known as Lake Powell (9:27). Rainbow Bridge National Monument rises over the scene (11:35). The Grand Canyon (13:00) is captured in Arizona. This was once referred to as the Divine Abyss by John Burroughs. Navajo Indians are spotted as a female tribe member works at a large loom (15:00). A male tribe member rides atop a horse herding sheep (15:53).

This silent, color 1950s travelogue style film was produced by Norman Schley, a skilled filmmaker from Waukesha, Wisconsin, who made a series of travel films under the moniker "Schley Ride" and/or "Picturelogue." Some of his films aired on television, while others were shown in front of live audiences. This particular account takes viewers along to view the spectacular sights of Los Angeles and Palm Springs, California. This version is silent, but it was likely narrated by Schley for a live audience. The film opens with a montage of footage as seen and captured from the plane window of a flight flying to Los Angeles from San Francisco. The travelogue then shows an array of clips that feature notable monuments and cultural sites around the many neighborhoods of Los Angeles and the town of Palm Springs.

Produced by the U.S. Information Agency, "Man from a Missing Land" portrays the Chinese take‐over of Tibet and the 1959 Tibetan Uprising in Lhasa, culminating in the flight of the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet, to asylum in India. The film was produced and directed by Paul Cohen, edited by Eric Lawrence, narrated by Fritz Weaver, and made by Owen Murphy Productions. The USIA produced the film to be shown overseas as part of the USIA mandate to demonstrate the threat communism presents to freedom. Ironically, the movie was initially suppressed by the U.S. Government, as Secretary of State William P. Rogers lobbied Henry A. Kissinger, President Nixon's assistant for national security affairs, against its release. The fear was that the film would derail Nixon's planned trip to China in February, 1971. It was eventually released, although the dates are not clear but sometime after 1973. Notably, portions of the film were shot in Switzerland, where over 700 Tibetans were granted asylum. 

The film opens with a scene of Buddhist monks traversing snowy hills in order to conduct a ritual (:58). Traditional Buddhist artwork covers the walls (1:36) within a temple. Natives from Tibet are seen as the film announces Tibet is a nation in exile (2:19). They are gathering here as they do once each year in order to honor the events of the 1959 Tibetan uprising in Lhasa (2:42). A Tibetan man dances in traditional ceremonial attire (3:08). The walled cities are seen hidden deep within the Himalayas (3:23). Combat scenes follow from October of 1950 as Peking chose to invade Tibet (4:20). The Tibetan militia surrenders to the well-armed Chinese army (4:35).

This particular film depicts what must steps must be taken by a police officer responding to an automobile accident. It opens with an image of an African American woman sitting unconscious behind a wheel following an accident (:13). An on-duty officer takes the dispatch from his car radio (:31). He then arrives on scene as a pedestrian checks the unconscious woman’s pulse (:41). He parks his car about fifty feet back from the accident to act as a shield and keep further accidents from occurring (:57). Once on scene, the next priority is first aide for the victim (1:03). The Pasadena officer calls in for medical assistance (1:22). He then sets out a flare to mark off the area (1:45) and meets to take statements from the witnesses (1:55). The officer moves the witnesses to where they had been standing at when the accident took place for better retrieval of details (2:07). Here he collects their identification forms (2:14). Witness reports are recorded carefully (3:45). The primary interrogation is conducted with the drivers and passengers involved (4:00). The pair involved are separated (4:33).

Made during WWII by the War Department, this official training film describes what frequency modulation (FM) is and how to use it in reference to radio communications. It also provides the comparison between FM and AM radio as far as what advantages FM has over AM. Originally restricted, the film was released for public educational use in 1949. It opens with U.S. soldiers playing ping pong while listening to AM radio (:28). When one of the men begins to use an electric razor, the radio gets staticky and one of the men switches the radio to FM so they can still listen to the music clearly (1:02). FM was a major step forward in radio and as guests tuned into a radio programs now they were listening to what the microphone was picking up (1:24). AM radio had its drawbacks in the sense that whenever it was used for communication in the battlefield (2:06) it would pick up static which would mess with the signal. Tank tracks made reception near impossible (2:13) as well as a slew of other war materials and natural occurrences such as thunderstorms (2:25). FM was able to remove this issue (2:34) and the film turns to breaking down the proponents of AM radio (2:40). A diagram follows, pointing to the oscillator (2:49) which generated the carrier wave that is fed into the amplifier (2:57). At this point it carried no message and for AM, intelligence was pressed upon the wave through a microphone (3:13). The intelligence is converted into electrical energy which goes into the modulator (3:24) and is then amplified. The intelligence is radiated by the antenna (4:06). The process of amplifying the waves is depicted (4:41) as it moves through the IF Amplifier and then the demodulator (4:55) which changes the vibrations back into audio frequency (5:03). From here it enters a speaker and becomes sound ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/959afabe-5eb1-4f62-a07a-2d1060c9413f/f5d978ce-69ab-476f-beab-7be3962b809a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jtueKY4s4ir8xZj9qhBGta</video:player_loc><video:duration>1726</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T13:27:21.031Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ppmwEiyyEc45aVrRuv7xNn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/47501ebb-f9e7-41fa-970e-2e512c9ec81d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1953 HOME MOVIE  VISIT OF ADMIRAL ARTHUR RADFORD TO TAIWAN AND THE PHILIPPINES 46694</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This 16mm silent film shows the visit to Admiral Arthur W. Radford (1896-1973) to the Philippines and Taiwan in the early to mid 1950s.The most likely date for this Far East trip, based on some research, is December 1953 to January 1954, and was probably intended to reassure the Taiwanese military of America's willingness to support it, in the face of Chinese Communist aggression. It probably predates the 1955 First Taiwan Strait Crisis. In that crisis, Radford urged President Eisenhower to intervene. 

Admiral Radford had a lengthy and distinguished career beginning in WWI, and was the architect of aviator training programs in WWII.  He later served as vice chief of Naval Operations, commander of the United States Pacific Fleet and as second chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Radford was a central figure in the post-war debates on U.S. military policy, and was a staunch proponent of naval aviation. As commander of the Pacific Fleet, he defended the Navy's interests in an era of shrinking defense budgets, and was a central figure in the "Revolt of the Admirals," a contentious public fight over policy. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, he continued to advocate for aggressive foreign policy and a strong nuclear deterrent in support of the "New Look" policy of President Dwight Eisenhower.

Opening titles: Taiwan - Bright Spot Of The Orient (:08-:12). Dignitaries and military officers shake hands in a crowd at a military base. Admiral Radford walks by, reviewing Taiwanese troops. A motorcade gets ready. Men walk up a hill. U.S. and Taiwanese men look over what might be a mine, or possibly an oil drilling facility. Taiwanese solider stands at the ready as a group of men ride in a small cart across a wire suspended in the air. Taiwanese people pack up. Taiwanese people watch a man wrangle ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bd84f275-88b8-4ac3-97b0-8e7354cf06dd/42796539-edd3-418a-94e6-06c9bb7affb8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ppmwEiyyEc45aVrRuv7xNn</video:player_loc><video:duration>923</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T13:27:44.177Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/111Lh8Su8ATmrm7nqD3z1N</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5b36c11e-3a83-4e28-a3ad-4546e4113775.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" BOMB INVESTIGATIONS "  1960s LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING FILM   TERRORIST BOMB THREATS   93994</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

These Mattel toy TV commercials date to 1968. The first at :09 presents the Strange Change Machine aka Time Machine.  This interesting toy produced "shape memory" plastic figures of prehistoric animals &amp; science fiction-like creatures. They could be re-compressed back into a "time capsule" block, and then re-created. (This toy was discontinued due to safety concerns, as it used such high temperatures in operation that it required tongs to be used.) At :37, Talking Barbie is introduced as well as Talking Stacey, who was Barbie doll’s “British chum”. They were part of the new group of Talking dolls for 1968. The Stacey dolls have a British accent, bendable knees, rooted lashes, straight long hair, blonde or titian tied on the right with a green ribbon. Cool Mod friend Stacey even made comments about mini skirts!

Made by Republic Steel, this color film is one of a series called "Stainless Steel...The Miracle Metal". This particular film features Dr. Carl Zapffe presenting a lecture on the history and development of stainless. It dates to 1960. Stainless steel is a group of ferrous alloys that contain a minimum of approximately 11% chromium, a composition that prevents the iron from rusting and also provides heat-resistant properties.

Opening: Republic Steel presents Stainless Steel, the Miracle Metal. Part 1: Historical Development (:06-:42). Dr. Carl Zapffe, a metallurgist (and also an internationally known physicist, engineer and chemist), looks through a microscope. He then starts to explain the film's focus. He holds a piece of stainless steel. he holds rusted iron. He picks up a piece of iron ore. He shows a picture of the piece inside a dead bison and a viking boat along with tin being used on an old table. A restored Viking boat at a museum in Oslo has original nails in it going back many thousands of years. Steel and carbon inside the nail is shown in detail (:43-6:27). A Damascus blade, the Damascus steel make-up is explained. Dr. Zapffe explains how we'll go back in time to discuss metal. He holds a meteorite in his hand which was found in Normandy. Going back to the pictures, the sectioned meteorite is shown. The 18-8 is explained. The numbers 18/8 refer to the percentages of chromium and nickel in the stainless steel alloy. The "18" refers to the chromium content, which gives flatware its rust-resistance properties, and the "8" refers to the nickel content, which gives it its silver-like shine and some rust-resistance (6:28-11:28). In 1797, a chemist in Paris is working on a new mineral, in 1798, the man...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d0530287-ece8-4815-ac30-3e7fec5dbd6d/cf8e8c31-106f-4ff6-9fa2-9f4e42a55db7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rJ37PLv27heqnCfJ4oyBmZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1789</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T13:42:12.871Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pAY5sNqrSPXqum9Kv9p3tr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cc10dbd8-d4ed-472f-b0ac-7c3c71e42ee6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970 DOCUMENTARY “THE MAN CALLED EDISON”  THOMAS EDISON, THE MOTION PICTURE CAMERA &amp; INDUSTRY 45114</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

One of over thirty police training films produced by Murray Woroner, "Patrolman You Have a Problem" was released by Motorola Teleprogram Center.Created in conjunction with the Miami Dade Police Department (and others), each film in the series examines an aspect of police conduct and training. In this specific film, the viewer is shown scenarios in which rookie cops are exposed to the cynical attitudes and reckless actions of seasoned veterans. Here, the words and actions of the sergeants and other senior police officers appear contradictory to the code of conduct and what was taught to the trainees in the police academy. The goal of the film is to create a discussion about "doing the right thing" and, of course, to reinforce the code of conduct. The film was produced by Woroner Films, inc and scripts and research were carried out by Frank Augustine, Sam Harris, Miami Dade Community College, and Bal Harbour Police Department of Florida.

This film from Rockwell International, "Solar Energy Storage", examines an experimental solar power station called "Solar One". This was a pilot solar-thermal project built in the Mojave Desert just east of Barstow, California. It was the first test of a large-scale thermal solar power tower plant. Solar One was designed by the Department of Energy (DOE). Solar One's method of collecting energy was based on concentrating the sun's energy onto a common focal point to produce heat to run a steam turbine generator. It had hundreds of large mirror assemblies, or heliostats, that track the sun, reflecting the solar energy onto a 328 ft (100 m) tall tower where a black receiver absorbed the heat. High-temperature heat transfer fluid was used to carry the energy to a boiler on the ground where the steam was used to spin a series of turbines, much like a traditional power plant. Although designed to produced 10 megawatts of electricity, the project fell short, producing 7 MW during its operation from 1982-86.  It was later expanded into "Solar Two", which was decommissioned in 1999 and subsequently demolished.

The film opens in the deserts of Southern California near Barstow with Solar One's thermal tower rising over the ground, encircled with solar panels (:53). The narrator, Jerry Friefeld steps on camera (1:19). Friefeld serves as the program manager. The solar industry was seeking to build solar power plants on a commercial scale by 1990. Rocketdyne and McDonnell Douglas were to be the first to design and create the nations first productions plant to be known as Solar 1 (1:39). An aerial shot of the span of Solar 1 follows (1:44). They sought to discover a way to solve the issue of storing energy to be used whe...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9f6c7690-3ec3-45ef-ba27-bdda9c90fd0e/e490ae19-7d95-48bf-bf2d-d632836056fe-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kFNLwgvrkddMZi13r8e2CJ</video:player_loc><video:duration>550</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T13:53:29.361Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7LsXqSaZ7Rnm6F92o7EmJi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/095fac85-e745-4ba9-959c-bc00cc03f3d4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" NEW ENGLAND CALLING " 1949 MAINE, VERMONT, NEW HAMPSHIRE, MASSACHUSETTS, CONNECTICUT FILM 87964</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Shot by an unknown American tourist, this silent home movie takes viewers through parts of Italy and France in the 1930’s. During this time period in Italy, the fascist party had grabbed a solid foothold over the country. Meanwhile in France, the Great Depression hit in 1931, later than in other countries. 

The film opens with images of boats lined up along the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy (:20). The Rialto bridge (:24) appears and is the oldest of the four bridges which cross over the Grand Canal. In St. Mark’s Square (:53), the Campanile Bell Tower stands as the tallest structure in Venice at 323 ft. The camera moves around the center of the square capturing pedestrians and pigeons dotting the ground (1:22). The view changes as the film moves onto a small gondola boat on the canal (2:16). Another angle of the Rialto bridge follows from the canal (2:27). Guests enjoy the sun and sand in 1930’s style swim suits (3:12). The dome of the Papal Basilica of St. Peter is captured (3:50) in the Vatican City. Hadrian’s tomb (4:02) sits at the right bank of the Tiber near the Vatican City. The tour heads to Rome and the Trevi Fountain (4:30). The fountain was developed by Nicola Salvi and is one of the largest Baroque fountains in the city. Cattle move down a gravel and dirt road (4:35). The Colosseum (4:52) is one of the most popular tourist attractions as well as the largest ancient amphitheater-built dating back to AD 70-80. Dark footage follows of a small town nestled in a valley (6:51). The film goes to Switzerland briefly and to the parkland conference center called Kursaal in Interlaken (8:16).

PART ONE: https://youtu.be/4WEZW5ozuQ8

This is the second portion of the “Schley Ride to Austria”. This film was created by Norman Schley, a talented filmmaker from Wisconsin who produced a series of travelogues, often under the production name "Picturelogue". Some of his work was aired on television, other films were presented by Schley in person at club meetings and in other forums. This episode takes viewers to Austria; the land locked country in the southern portion of central Europe. The film is mostly silent, and was originally presented with Schley reading from a script.

Here, the film picks up in the city of Rust, Austria located near Hungry. A train awaits a signal for departure (:26). The Rust country side is captured as the train moves off (1:14). A young woman is pictured in traditional Austrian attire noting the many layers (1:58). A craftswoman works on a wicker basket (3:16) as another works on hand crafted pottery (4:29). Intricate designs are hand painted onto the clay once set (5:10). An orchard is watered through a primitive sprinkling system (6:50). Farmworkers pile hay in stacks on in the field (7:45). An aerial shot captures a dirt road zig zagging through the lush grounds of Rust (10:44). A stable hand walks out a cluster of white Lippizans, a bred familiar to the area (11:22). The fouls are pictured next to the mares and are black as they get older their coats will turn to a white grey (11:46). A sign for a tack store follows (12:27). Men prepare a dog for a quail hunting adventure (13:21). A couple and child ride a motor bike through the city (16:45). A 707 Austrian Airlines passenger plane (16:50) is readied for a flight.

Made during WWII by the War Department, this official training film describes what frequency modulation (FM) is and how to use it in reference to radio communications. It also provides the comparison between FM and AM radio as far as what advantages FM has over AM. Originally restricted, the film was released for public educational use in 1949. It opens with U.S. soldiers playing ping pong while listening to AM radio (:28). When one of the men begins to use an electric razor, the radio gets staticky and one of the men switches the radio to FM so they can still listen to the music clearly (1:02). FM was a major step forward in radio and as guests tuned into a radio programs now they were listening to what the microphone was picking up (1:24). AM radio had its drawbacks in the sense that whenever it was used for communication in the battlefield (2:06) it would pick up static which would mess with the signal. Tank tracks made reception near impossible (2:13) as well as a slew of other war materials and natural occurrences such as thunderstorms (2:25). FM was able to remove this issue (2:34) and the film turns to breaking down the proponents of AM radio (2:40). A diagram follows, pointing to the oscillator (2:49) which generated the carrier wave that is fed into the amplifier (2:57). At this point it carried no message and for AM, intelligence was pressed upon the wave through a microphone (3:13). The intelligence is converted into electrical energy which goes into the modulator (3:24) and is then amplified. The intelligence is radiated by the antenna (4:06). The process of amplifying the waves is depicted (4:41) as it moves through the IF Amplifier and then the demodulator (4:55) which changes the vibrations back into audio frequency (5:03).

PART TWO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuT_zT0w7zU.

This film was created by Norman Schley, a talented filmmaker from Wisconsin who produced a series of travelogues, often under the production name "Picturelogue". Some of his work was aired on television, other films were presented by Schley in person at club meetings and in other forums. This episode takes viewers to Austria; the land locked country in the southern portion of central Europe. The film is mostly silent, and was originally presented with Schley reading from a script.

The film opens on a group of Austrians enjoying refreshments around a red and white checkerboard table (1:06). Salzburg is the first city visited (1:13).

This 1971 film "Lifeline" (alternate title "Lifeline in Space") was produced by the US Air Force and directed by Con Pederson for Graphic Films. It uses well-designed conceptual art and simple yet highly effective animation to present a hypothetical look at the future of space travel, space stations, and aeronautics technology. Founded during WWII, Graphic Films was founded by former Disney animator and USC professor Lester Novros. It produced a wide range of industrial films for the U.S. government and is credited with helping visualize and present the theoretical technology behind space travel, that helped inspire the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. (Note: this film was released in 1971, however it likely predates the 1970s as the U.S. Air Force's Manned Space Flight Program and the Manned Orbiting Laboratory space station were essentially curtailed by the time this film was released.) 

Opening titles: The seal of the Department of the Air Force. “The United States Air Force Presents, Lifeline, Aerospace Logistics Tomorrow” (0:09). An animated illustration of the earth from outer space. A slow pan across the stars reveals a collection of satellites (0:30). Inside one of the imagined satellites, animated astronauts sit at control panels. Experimental spacecraft. A distant crater houses a space station (1:18). On the surface of a distant planet, an “ALOMAR” factory and a series of rocket launchpads (2:20). A mission control crew moves a rocket into position, working in a command center on computers and video monitors (2:33). A small vehicle is loaded onto the spacecraft (3:00). Blastoff from the space station. Imagined spacecraft travel in and out of the planet’s atmosphere.

This 1947 patriotic film "Power Behind the Nation" was produced by Warner Bros. and looks at the importance of industrial production and its role in U.S. history. It contains detailed, yet rapid, imagery of different industrial sectors including steel, chemicals, textiles, and timber. It also looks at the breadth of natural resources that the US is endowed with and how vital these are for industrial production, including coal, copper, oil, iron, and stone. It seeks to promote patriotic sentiment by showing that it is people coming together that make all of this industrial production possible and that ultimately are the reasons for American prosperity.

Dating to the early 1970s, this TV commercial presents the Mars Milky Way and 3 Musketeers candy bars. First introduced in 1932 as a three piece (chocolate, strawberry and vanilla) bar, the modern version of 3 Musketeers consists of a chocolate-covered, fluffy, whipped mousse. The Milky Way bar shown at :46 was developed by Frank Mars in 1923 and its taste was supposed to resemble a malted milk shake. It is made of nougat, topped with caramel and covered with milk chocolate. At :51, the "fluffy egg white center" and "corn syrup caramel" flavors are shown being enhanced by freezing them, and turning them into a delightful summer treat.

"True Adventure",  a TV show produced by veteran adventure filmmaker Bill Burrud, was produced in the 1960s. This episode "The Myth of the Vampire" traces the folklore of the vampire in colonial European accounts to the Central American vampire bat. A team of explorers visits Sinaloa, Mexico in order to do some fishing and track down a few of these creatures in their natural habitat. Ultimately the film crew finishes the job on their own, and a bowl of blood is offered to some thirsty bats. This film, which sometimes stretches the bounds of coherence, features some charming vampire footage culled from other sources, as well as views of the natural environment of Sinaloa. (TRT 26:34)

Created by the famed producer David Wolper and narrated by Mike Wallace, this episode of the long-running TV show ‘Biography’ dates to 1963 and profiles Emperor Hirohito.  Hirohito was the 124th emperor of Japan, and presided over the country from 1926 to 1989; a period encompassing much of the country’s history including WW2. Some of the events included are the invasion of China, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and the Japanese surrender to the Allies. It opens with a span of Japanese soldiers (:11) and Hirohito (:29) at podium delivering an address. The Japan of Hirohito’s youth is shown, which was comparable to life in the Feudal Age,  with its rituals and traditions (2:33). Hirohito (3:01) embarked on a tour of Europe at 21.

Disclaimer: Cigarette smoking KILLS more than 480,000 Americans each year. Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable disease and death in the United States. It is linked to heart disease, emphysema and cancer.

This TV commercial for Parliament cigarettes "with recessed Hi-Fi filter" dates to the 1960s. Parliaments was (and remains) one of the few brands with a recessed filter, with the tagline being that "only the flavor touches your lips" and that unlike with standard filters "nicotine and tar cannot get on your lips". The filter system was originally simply an advertising gimmick introduced at a time when most cigarettes did not have filters; later their (mostly theoretical) health benefits were emphasized by the brand in advertising.

This Boy Scouts promo film "Boy Scouts...A Lot More Than You Think" was created by producer/writer Rift Fournier and Dean Crebbin. The movie is a veritable time capsule of the sociological stresses and the opportunities of the 1970's as reflected in Scouting, and it's countercultural pedigree is reinforced by an experimental, montage style. The first half of the film depicts Boy Scout organizing in underserved / endangered Black, Latino and Appalachian communities in which poverty is the common denominator, as well as a Scout group serving boys with disabilities. It then proceeds to describe the ways that Scouting encourages self development, and has incorporated aspects of council democracy. The film also describes the Scout's environmental activism, efforts in computing, and the pursuit of "natural highs" other than drugs.  (TRT 21:58)

(0:10) Boy Scouts hike through an autumnal forest. The film will be an exposition of the ways Scouting helps boys to prepare for life.

Disclaimer for viewers: this is an outdated educational film. It includes some politically incorrect and potentially offensive wordage for viewers. It depicts different races and speculates where they come from labeling them into three groups. These are identified as brown, white and yellow referring to those whom have brown pigment in their skin, those of Asian descent and those of a Caucasian skin tone respectively. The film was presented by Encyclopedia Britannica Corporation (:17). 

The opening setting is at the Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Illinois. The first few animals shown in montage are a Red and Green McCaw parrot (:20), two toucan birds (:23), an elephant (:24), a giraffe (:36), zebra (:39), a hippo (:43), tiger (:45), and a polar bear (:50). Students are seen crowding around an animal pen (:58) prior to the title screen (1:10). Within the pen, two polar bears stand up (1:17). A flamingo (1:51) appears just before children visit a parrot (1:58). The film then switches to black and white footage to symbolize how much harder it would be to identify the animals if they were not in color (2:07). The various shades and species of birds is compared to the various shades of humans (2:39). The film pans around to show the variety of people and heritages at the zoo (2:43). Here is where the film notes at the time, scientists were dividing people into three different groups and the colors are pointed to (2:51). Three boys take to a small train ride which moves them around the park (3:41). Rides at a carnival are filmed (3:51) including a Ferris wheel and a roller coaster (4:02). The film then shows an amination of a sperm heading to an egg (5:30) and how skin tone is derived from genes. The same three boys from earlier play in a fun house mirror (6:42). The African Oryx (6:53) is compared to the zebra (6:57).

This film about the Iwo Jima campaign is one of a series of newsreels produced by Leslie Winik and Official Films during WWII, and sold for home viewing through catalogs, department stores and camera shops. The film uses official U.S. War Department footage, as well as newsreel footage, to show the bombardment of the Japanese stronghold by the invasion fleet and aircraft. It then shows D-day at Iwo (3:25) as 40,000 members of the Marine Corps invade the island. Fierce fighting is shown on the beachhead. At 5:59, Japanese prisoners are taken aboard ship. At 8:00, a concrete-lined Japanese dugout is investigated. The film ends with the iconic image of the American flag being raised over Mt.Suribachi (9:00). 

The invasion of Iwo Jima (19 February – 26 March 1945) was designated Operation Detachment. The U.S. intended to capture the island and wrest control of its three airfields from the Japanese, thus providing a staging area for the strategic bombing of the Japanese home islands.  

The Japanese Army positions on the island were heavily fortified, with a dense network of bunkers, hidden artillery positions, and underground tunnels. The Americans on the ground were supported by extensive naval artillery and maintained complete air supremacy.

Iwo Jima was also the only battle by the U.S. Marine Corps in which the American casualties exceeded the Japanese, although Japanese combat deaths numbered three times the number of American deaths. Of the 22,000 Japanese soldiers on Iwo Jima at the beginning of the battle, only 216 were taken prisoner, some of whom were captured because they had been knocked unconscious or otherwise disabled. The majority of the remainder were killed in action, although it has been esti...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ee550b98-71e4-444e-8ed5-b3467a690627/49e6f297-171a-48f8-816d-84c8a31698c3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vqXserb8BFVfCe8hFP28VR</video:player_loc><video:duration>559</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T14:56:05.651Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rZJ5jH7Fe3tqq8hCe7pkYf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3f755284-dbbd-4a11-9204-a3639fbc1d18.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1948  " MAJESTIC NORWAY ” NORWEGIAN TRAVELOGUE FILM  OSLO  LAPLAND  NORSK HYDRO   JC10064</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This film takes viewers on a tour through Norway’s town and country area. The film is presented by the Norwegian Travel Information Office of New York City (:14). Some of Europe’s largest glaciers exist in Norway (:26). These attribute to the common use of water for power in the country. A rainbow is pictured formed by the mist from a cascading waterfall (:59). Bird’s eye view footage shows how the roads must zig zag and cut through the mountainous terrain (1:24). In order to protect motorists from falling rocks or snow, often bridges were made with a long cover over them (1:42). Cattle from a small farm perch around hilly landscape (2:05). Sight seers pause on the side of the roadway (2:12). The landscape of the area is rich with timber and waterfalls (2:33). A female rider moves by horse and cart over a small bridge (2:55). Logs for the timber industry are often floated down streams (3:11). At a family owned farm house, a man whittles away at a wooden rake (3:27). Farmers work to plow lands and heap hay bales into piles (3:51). Hay is then loaded onto a cart to be transported to town (4:23). Large commercial farms are pictured (4:47). Water power is utilized (4:59) to power a primitive grindstone. As it is so abundant, water also powers flour mills as well as general electricity needs (5:11). A heavy water plant in Rjukan; Vemork, known as Norsk Hydro (5:23), was a target of Norwegian heavy water sabotage during the second world war. A car enters a tunnel carved through the mountainside (6:04). One of the thousands of fjords in Norway is depicted (6:28). Small homes sit on the edge of the fjord (6:40).

Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm 

"Round the World Pictures”  is an amateur travelogue and film history treasure by a San Francisco based Edison mimeograph dealer named Ward Harris. It is one of two films of a series by Harris featuring a pre-WW2 UK. Harris was an Edison collector. He managed several traveling exhibits and maintained an inventory of over 50,000 items including phonographs, batteries, light bulbs, Edison toasters and other electrical equipment. His collection was dispersed following his death in the 1950’s. This film and it’s companion are the only two films that survived. It features Edison’s Ediphone Voice Writing; early Edison technology that ultimately revolutionized business communication as it allowed executives to dictate memos at any time and typists to work on transcripts later. Ward’s footage showcases 1930’s style and travel in scenes aboard the stunning and tragic Duchess of Atholl; shipmates compete in a pillow fight, toss rings for tennikoit and play shuffleboard across the open sea deck. He continues to capture the fabric of Irish culture in ground footage through Belfast and Dublin with images of local businesses and it’s historic architecture style influenced by Norman and Anglo-Irish societies. It closes in Scotland sweeping the countryside, rural towns and Edinburgh. It shows a turning point in transportation history as the automobile became more advanced. Modern vehicles and double decker buses mingle with horse and buggies. Boat and train use was on the rise.

Dating to 1949 and released by Encyclopedia Britannica films in the USA and Cinesound in Australia, "Thrills of the Surf" examines the popular sport of surfing (:07). It opens with a shot of the coastline with the city wrapping around the sandy shoreline, possibly Melbourne or Sydney (:32) as surfers take to the waves (:39). Surfing is considered to be one of Australia’s most popular sports (:46). Youth of Australia run to the waters edge with large rubber boats tumbling under the rolling waves as the boats flip over (:59). Mothers and young children walk into rock pools (1:52). 7,000 make up the Life Savers (2:15); comprised of male and female (2:22) volunteers. The volunteers march as bag pipes encourage them forward. This event is known as the Grand March (2:38). A high step is used to move through the soft sand with ease (2:44). Australians push surf boards and ski’s through the surf (3:00). A few are able to rise from their boards as waves form and crash (3:07). These were traditionally used for by the Life Savers to patrol the waters (3:23) in order to warn civilians of sharks or to rescue those in need. Close shots of surfers standing on their boards follows (4:07). One surfer steers his surf board away from rocks in the waters (4:41). Another crashes under the waves as boards hit him and the life savers rush out in a rescue attempt (5:10). Some of the Life Savers remain on the beach and maintain a strong life line (5:19) to pull the victim in. Male Life Savers carry the wounded surfer to the shore line (5:22) where he is able to receive first aide. Footage follows of Australia’s Volunteer Coast Guard out on surf boats in rough waves (5:36). The surf boats fight against wave after wave remaining upright due to the specific design (6:06). As some of the waves are too strong for the boats to make it through, Coast ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b4af5846-297d-4810-96ff-158124df3ca4/f489ad03-2f73-41c0-89b3-8cdf3d3a7926-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oj5HxbEvLD3Xn91BKPDtHW</video:player_loc><video:duration>515</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T15:02:43.401Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2wJToBXCBgRuWjAxuupu4j</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/640bf9bf-433b-40a9-8a4e-9d640d3e18fc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"YANKS SMASH TRUK!"

This WWII film, one of a series of newsreels produced by Castle Films, shows Operation Hailstone --  the U.S. Navy's assault on "Japan's Pearl Harbor" -- the naval base at Truk.  Footage shows Task Force 58, which included the fleet carriers USS Yorktown, USS Essex, USS Intrepid, USS Bunker Hill, USS Enterprise, and the light carriers USS Belleau Wood, USS Cabot, USS Monterey, and USS Cowpens as they strike the Japanese base beginning in February of 1944.  Extensive gun camera footage is seen in the film, as well as an astounding shot of a carrier plane making a perfect landing on one wheel.  Japanese ships sunk during the Truk raid included the light cruisers Agano, Naka, Katori, and the destroyers Akikaze, Mutsukaze, Harusame, Maikaze, Nowaki, Oite, Sutsuki, Shigure, Tachize and Fumizuki.  The film ends with footage of American planes returning to their carriers, including a plane landing on one wheel (8:30) and wounded aircrew receiving medical attention.  

The U.S. attack involved a combination of airstrikes, surface ship actions, and submarine attacks over two days and appeared to take the Japanese completely by surprise. Several daylight, along with nighttime, airstrikes employed fighters, dive bombers, and torpedo aircraft in attacks on Japanese airfields, aircraft, shore installations, and ships in and around the Truk anchorage. A force of U.S. surface ships and submarines guarded possible exit routes from the island's anchorage to attack any Japanese ships that tried to escape from the airstrikes.In total the attack sank three Japanese light cruisers (Agano, Katori, and Naka), four destroyers (Oite, Fumizuki, Maikaze, and Tachikaze), three auxiliary cruisers (Akagi Maru, Aikoku Maru, Kiyosumi Maru), two submarine tenders (Heian Maru, Rio de Janeiro Maru), three other smaller warships (includin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0c63e197-7d28-4fe1-bb75-285474ddf248/96cde42e-5c5c-48b5-bea0-cc243235f445-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2wJToBXCBgRuWjAxuupu4j</video:player_loc><video:duration>772</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T15:05:08.442Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5bdfqsXzp7p9ZdM2dwnQWf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e63bb458-c79f-4788-8632-2624b115fc58.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“US” 1970s HIPPIE ERA   DRUG ADDICTION &amp; ABUSE EDUCATIONAL FILM  XD46694</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This experimental 1970 color documentary film, ostensibly designed to provoke classroom discussion employs a boldly unconventional approach to addressing the issues of drug addiction, featuring the music of Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn. The film eschews narration for montage effects and extended fly-on-the-wall scenes of various drug users in conversation (TRT: 27:54).  The film was produced by Robert Appelbe (now part of Norflicks Productions Ltd.), written and directed by Kris Paterson, with director of photography Henry Fiks and editor Ron Wisman.

Opening images of dead fish on a beach. Opening titles: “US, a film by Kris Paterson.” Auto wreckage in a junkyard serve as a metaphor for waste and destruction (0:23). Lens flare and an audio collage of tragic news announcements (1:32). A young woman walks urban streets to the music of Bruce Cockburn, passing “Anne’s Hairstyling, Snell’s Wear, Walgreen Fish &amp; Chips, Ian’s Variety” (2:43). Closeup on muddy tires. A montage of cars on a freeway, people on an escalator, pedestrians in motion, drug advertisements, tobacco cigarette smokers, pollution (4:17). Junk food, broken windows, stained glass, urban factory smokestacks, headlines, newsmagazines, a baby doll among rubble, construction machinery at work, bottles of liqueur (5:20). Blur effects, syringes (6:25). Young mothers review and discuss a Time magazine article (6:35). Young “hippie” men and women with long hair sit on a floor, smoking and passing a marijuana joint (7:24). These two contrasting scenes are intercut (8:10). Children peer into paper bags, covering their heads. The conversations continue (8:30). The hippies review an illustrated guide to drugs. A girl shoots up heroin using a syringe (9:40). Youths gather on a street corner. A transaction with a drug dealer (10:56).

This fundraising film from the late 1940s or early 1950s (but most likely 1949), "Epidemic's Children" was produced by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Produced prior to the development of a vaccine, the film tells some of the modern history of the fight against the disease, and shows some of the effects of the polio disease and the treatment regimen of this era including water therapy and the use of iron lungs.

The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is now known as the March of Dimes. The organization was founded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938, specifically to combat polio. The name "March of Dimes" was coined by popular singer Eddie Cantor. After funding Jonas Salk's polio vaccine, the organization expanded its focus to the prevention of birth defects and infant mortality. 

Poliomyelitis often called polio or infantile paralysis, is an acute, viral, infectious disease spread from person to person, primarily via the fecal-oral route. The term derives from the Ancient Greek. Epidemics which left thousands of children and adults paralyzed, provided the impetus for a "Great Race" towards the development of a vaccine. Developed in the 1950s, polio vaccines have reduced the global number of polio cases per year from many hundreds of thousands to under a thousand today.

This 1938 USDA film depicts the story of a Southern farmer -- Sam Farmer, his cotton farm, and the battle against boll weevil. The film was made in the post- Dust Bowl era, and preaches sustainable farming. As Sam’s cotton production is inadequate, he seeks guidance from a county agent who directs Sam towards fundamentals of cotton production such as seed selection, treatment, proper planting cultivation and terracing among others. The film was presented by the US Department of Agriculture in cooperation with Agriculture Extension Services of five southern states (:09). While the film shows the plight of a white farmer, African American farm workers appear throughout, as they played a vital role in the cotton industry in this era. Sam Framer was played by Fred O. McCown, and his wife played by Leila Bolt McCown, both of South Carolina. The film was directed by Maurice Ricker with camera by Carl Turvey.  

The opening scene shows farm workers, including African Americans, standing in a cotton field next to heaps of picked cotton (:47) which is then lifted onto the back of a wooden cart for transport. Sam keeps track of his harvest (2:04) as his wife Mary approaches him concerned about financial troubles (2:04). Sam delivers the first load of cotton to the gin (2:28). Cylinders suck the cotton up into the machine (2:34). A freshly pressed cotton bale rolls out (2:59) as the narrator notes this harvest of cotton appears to be sub-par due to early picking (3:13) which leaves the cotton too green and too wet. Regardless, Sam and the cart of cotton bales move to town to find a buyer (3:34). After three buyers (3:56-5:07) are displeased with the cotton and offer Sam prices well below the market price, Sam’s neighbor John Jones arrives (5:26). Jones is able to sell his cotton for above the market price prompting Sam Farmer’s in...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0531b0b3-2f8a-49fe-adda-a36ebb5b5a66/4499985c-cf65-4401-9a3d-c62c0118894f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1DcCSrieHNFPQpB1M1PCWA</video:player_loc><video:duration>1859</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T15:17:55.300Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cYmU1hkpy1Nz3s9XyfrkK4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b0d070e8-01f2-4919-952e-d86adef0ddb0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MT.

Released by Keystone as a "Keystone Kinescope", this silent film features footage of the city of Pompeii and its environs. It likely dates to the 1930s. At 1:45 the film shows footage from the November, 1926 eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, which brought back memories of the disaster in 79 A.D.

Keystone was a manufacturer of a series of "toy" 16mm movie projectors which used fairly low wattage light bulbs instead of normal projector bulbs.  These kind of short documentary films, as well as cartoons and dramas, were often sold with the projectors.

Mount Vesuvius is located on the Gulf of Naples in Campania, Italy, and part of the Campanian volcanic arc. Vesuvius consists of a large cone partially encircled by the steep rim of a summit caldera, caused by the collapse of an earlier and originally much higher structure. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis and Stabiae, as well as several other settlements. In the 20th Century, the volcano was active in  1906, 1926, 1929, and 1944.

This film, produced by Mike and Betty Dirham, Inc. was created as part of a National Weather Service public awareness campaign, to try to educate the public about tornadoes, and to train staff "tornado chasers".  It depicts the formation of storms which produce tornados and the necessity for tornado spotters in addition to using radar equipment. The film was narrated by senior NWS forecaster Alan Moller and featured technical guidance by the NWS' Dan Purcel. Organizations involved include the Disaster Preparedness Office and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (:10).  The film opens with footage from May 26th, 1976 as a massive storm system moved from the south west towards northern Texas (1:01). Hail pours out from the storm as it headed towards Dallas (1:14). Tornado spotters take to the road to chase and record the storm (1:20). As they chase the storm down, radio operators of the National Weather Service remain in contact (1:23). Weather reports received from the spotters are compared to the radar reports (1:26). One spotter (1:36) views the massive storm’s wall cloud just west of Dallas (1:36). The Tex-Mex chain Pulida’s, opened in 1966 and still operating today, sits in the foreground as the cone of the tornado is captured behind it (1:47). The tornado tears trees up as it moves over northern Dallas (1:59). In the instance shown, the tornado spotters were able to catch the tornado forming which radar alone was unable to (2:25). Cumulous clouds are highlighted as what most storms form from (2:45). Updrafts are seen growing upwards to higher altitudes (3:09). An area where the rain and hail would fall from is noted (4:50). The following footage is sped up to show the formation of a storm about ten miles wide (4:58). Another storm’s formation is also time lapsed (5:04). The view switches to under the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/50073930-b6ba-4003-b248-78af777211e3/3f41adf2-52d9-4bf2-b066-f5a38c31c735-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aTaNKwXST1xeKJotit7Aai</video:player_loc><video:duration>963</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T15:18:38.439Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hMiKH5MMeez7AUQhyTqDgv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/adacc0d5-1ac5-46ca-81f1-90d9c2bf47ef.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA APOLLO LUNAR SPACE SUIT DEVELOPMENT &amp; FUNCTIONAL TESTS  1960s FILM   XD10014z</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration presents this film from the late 1960s and the administration’s logo is the image that is shown in the opening sequence at 0:20. The U.S. Government and NASA present information about the lunar space suits and how they protect each astronaut, specifically using "Astronaut Andy" as an example at 1:14. The film uses cartoon depictions to portray an astronaut in a lunar space suit to illustrate what happens in space and how the suits perform to keep flight crew safe from hazardous conditions (1:15-4:04). Actual astronauts or stand-ins are shown wearing the real suits while the narrator describes safety and functional features from the first to the last layers of the materials (4:05-7:25). Components including a constant wear garment, a liquid-cool undergarment, a pressure garment assembly (including a helmet and gloves), a portable back pack life-support system, and a thermo micrometeriod garment are worn by a model astronaut throughout the film (4:18-4:39). Apollo flight crews will wear these suits and the film describes all the instruments as well as the process of each layer. A functional test is described for purposes of evaluation of temperature controls (6:00-6:20). The film provides a great deal of information and details about the lunar space suits for potential flight crew training purposes. At 8:00, a schematic shows the suit capabilities in simple format to illustrate its mechanisms for usage in missions. Backup safety features are also described for the potential wearer of this garment set, inlcuding a secondary emergency oxygen supply system (9:30). Multiple tests are performed, detailed, and an analysis of the results and any design changes are described (12:50-14:00). The Manned Spacecraft Center of NASA constructed portions of the suits.

This silent film shows details of the practices of striped bass fishermen in the San Francisco Bay area, including their use of sardines as bait, their casting techniques, and the camaraderie of the men as they share fishing boats and trade expertise in the art. The film probably dates to the 1920's and 1930's and was "arranged and titled" by noted adventure filmmaker Captain Jack Robertson, also responsible for The True North (1925) and The Break Up (1930) (TRT 10:29)

Dating to 1965, this sophisticated animated NASA film "Apollo Lunar Mission Profile" provides an in-depth look at the manned lunar mission. The film opens with the NASA seal (:11). The Moon’s surface is riddled with craters (:23). These images had been taken from the unmanned space probe; Ranger VII, prior to the craft crashing on the moon’s surface. The mode selected to make the Apollo lunar landing possible was called a lunar rendezvous orbit (:53). A space shuttle is captured during take off utilizing rocket thrust (2:06). The captive firing of the first stage of three stages of the Apollo Saturn V space vehicle follows (2:18). Tests are conducted on the second stage’s engines (2:24). Captive firing of the third stage then takes place (2:26). A diagram is presented showing the five F1 engines (2:41), five J2 engines in the second stage (2:59) and the single J2 engine in the third stage (3:12). Tests are conducted on the launch escape system located on the top of the space craft (3:41). Portions of the Apollo space craft (3:53) are highlighted including the service module (3:57) and the lunar excursion module (4:00). The service module (4:45) and the LEM are then broken down in diagram (5:44).

This 1945 U.S. Navy training film, Quit Stalling—Or Spin In! (MN-4353a), teaches pilots the dangers of stalling, or spinning, and how to avoid crashing. A stall is what happens when an aerofoil cannot make enough lift to keep the aircraft in level flight. The film features a Navy instructor who presents a series of case studies from the Navy’s office of Flight Safety Flight Statistics (00:52). The film begins with footage of a plane stalling and crashing into the ground (00:14); the remains of the pilot are recovered by the military. The Navy instructor reviews some of the key rules to avoid stalling: the steeper the bank or the sharper the pull-up—the higher the “G” (02:14); the higher the “G” and the heavier the load, the higher the stalling speed (03:10); and keep flying speed (03:31). Since more than half of all spin accidents occur during landing approaches, the Navy instructor reviews several cases involving landing approaches, including lacking speed during a turn (03:58) and slow gliding on aircraft carrier (05:20). Next, the film shows footage of a PV-1 as the narrator recounts a fatal spin accident involving the same plane, which killed the entire six-member crew. The instructor then discusses cases of crashes involving spin that occurred during takeoffs. This is followed by spin accidents that happened during simulated emergency training (07:32); in one case, an instructor and student on a b-stage flight in what appears to be a Navy N2S Stearman (08:09) entered a simulated spin but crashed due to insufficient altitude, with fault assigned to the instructor. The fourth key to avoiding crashes during spins is to never make steep turns at low altitudes (09:00). The instructor reviews graphs for necessary speeds ba...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e82053aa-74ec-4c3d-8cbf-c4bde450feff/d6d88811-5773-4c08-b090-e2876aff6b11-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uEvv6MiAF5cinBcKkrL3eV</video:player_loc><video:duration>1042</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T15:31:47.974Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dJFX5Bm8tyM97kV99YyLhh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1634061b-a8be-4d42-8c5f-9bbc115aca12.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" NASA HIGHLIGHTS 1969 ”   APOLLO IX, X, XI, XI    APOLLO 11 MOON LANDING  MARINER  NIMBUS   XD48834</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This 1947 film outlines the responsibility of physicians and dentists in early recognition of oral cancer. Interestingly, it does not probe the causes of oral cancer, such as cigarette smoking, as at the time it was produced a causal link had yet to be firmly established. The film was sponsored by the American Cancer Society (:22) and produced by Audio Productions Inc (:36). The film opens with a 48-year-old patient whom has a white lesion on his tongue which proved to be a papillary tumor (:57). During his routine dental check, the lesion aroused suspicion (1:24) and a pathological examination confirmed this suspicion (1:29). Since it was found early enough, the patient’s cure rate was high and this points to the necessity of early recognition of oral cancer (1:53). It is the responsibility of dentists as well as physicians to recognize the lesions (2:05). The film then presents the six common sites of oral cancer which include the gingiva, palate, tongue, cheek, floor of the mouth and the lips (2:09). Despite the fact that these locations are all susceptible to early diagnosis, the majority of the lesions are not recognized early enough for satisfactory treatment (2:38). The five-year cure percentage rates of any size lesion found in these locations follow (2:50) and the overall percentage rate is 32 ½% (3:17). The five-year cure rate percentages of lesions in these areas that are less than 2cm are then provided (3:32) with the overall percentage rate being 57% (4:04). A run through of a thorough examination on a patient follows (5:12) and the instruments required for this exam are shown (5:35). Dentists and physicians were to combine observation methods with inspection and palpation (5:57). As most human heads are symmetrical it helps to look for any off symmetry (6:08).

Dating to 1944, this episode in the long-running series "John Nesbitt's Passing Parade" was included in the "G.I. Movie Weekly" shown to American troops in WWII.  This episode is titled "A Lady Fights Back." It tells the story of the famed ocean liner SS Normandie, which caught fire while under modification in New York during WWII. The streamline moderne designed SS Normandie was launched in 1935 and served with the French Line Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT). At the time she was the largest and fastest passenger ship afloat, crossing the Atlantic in a record 4.14 days.Normandie made 139 westbound transatlantic crossings from her home port of Le Havre to New York City, but was seized by the U.S. government after the fall of France. Renamed USS Lafayette, she was to be converted into a troopship. However on February 9, 1942 while undergoing modifications, she caught fire. The firefighting effort caused the ship to capsize. While "A Lady Fights Back" might make it appear that the ship was reborn like a phoenix, it was not meant to be. After the first she was salvaged at great expense, and then scrapped in 1946. To this day, Normandie remains the most powerful steam turbo-electric-propelled passenger ship ever built.

This black and white 1941 theatrical short film produced by Columbia Pictures features billiards champ Erwin Rudolph in a demonstration of his skill with a pool cue that also offers tips and tricks for the novice. Numerous trick shots and novelty techniques of the pool hustler are demonstrated in slow motion analysis photography (TRT: 8:55). Featured player Erwin Rudolph (1893 - 1957) was a four time world champion billiard ace. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio. One of his great feats was running 125 points in 32 minutes (now eclipsed).  In his later years, he worked for the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company, best known for their boats, bowling balls, and billiards tables. 

Opening titles: “Rack ‘Em Up with Erwin Rudolph, World’s Pocket Billiards Champion” Credits: Commentator Bill Stern, Photographed by Charles Harten, Edited by Harry Foster (0:06). A studio set filled with well-dressed extras centers on a billiards table (0:17). Erwin Rudolph applies chalk to his cue stick while wearing a tuxedo (0:25). A closeup illustrates proper form for the left hand finger loop when lining up a shot during a game of billiards. Proper grip of the right hand follows (0:41). Erwin indicates a shot for the 1 ball into the corner pocket, then aims high on the cue ball for top spin. The shot is executed, leaving the cue ball in position for the next shot (1:22). Aiming low on the cue ball for backspin keeps it in the center of the playfield while knocking out targets (1:50). A single shot sends a ball into every pocket (2:19). A closeup on the billiard balls. Erwin picks the 1 ball out of a cluster. A bird’s eye view of the trick (2:30). Shooting a moving target, the “wing shot” (3:08). A four ball shot, with each target falling into a di...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b543e0d5-48d1-487e-8d30-b757aa13b8fb/978ff57a-a030-414b-b513-8974ad21b527-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ooeJEbnaAavEVrWpmJC3M2</video:player_loc><video:duration>535</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T15:46:12.688Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/54ZZGov8pedkbGXzYMGK66</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4dbab7eb-6507-4997-ae8f-5850c1fd9640.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“GIANT KILLERS” WWII ELCO NAVAL DIVISION PT BOAT PROMO FILM   ELECTRIC BOAT  BAYONNE, NJ  XD49334</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Produced by the Standard Oil Company of California, this is a 1940s driver’s education and safety film. Unfortunately, the title of the film is missing, so we're not sure what the name of the film is or who directed or wrote it.  The film is notable because it shows varied landscapes and naturalistic footage of diverse 1940s automobiles in “near-miss” driving conditions, taken from dashboard-mounted cameras with police supervision. The film was shot in California (TRT: 14:41).

Two California police officers in uniform stand outdoors, demonstrating a vision test used to determine impairment while driving. Two colored rods are positioned inside a box, testing the color's effect on depth perception (0:06). A hand with a pencil marks the rods. Another man has peripheral vision measured (0:33). POV night driving in low light. Headlights flash by (1:03). An officer peers into a wooden box which houses a machine measuring the effects of glare on drivers’ eyes (1:11). A spring-loaded mechanical device is mounted under the chassis of a 1940s automobile (1:19). Two police officers take measurements on the pavement, charting the relation of stopping distance to reaction time (1:57). Stopping distance measured at 40mph. The black automobile stops within feet of a two-tone police car, its tires smoking (2:28). POV driving in winter weather past distance markers. Passing oncoming trucks.

This film "Schley Ride to the West Indies" is the second part of a four-segment feature filmed by Wisconsin amateur filmmaker Norman Schley. An accountant by trade, Schley also founded a travel industry film company called Picturelogue. Like many of his other films, this one was intended to be screened in front of a live audience, while Schley read from a prepared script. So, you will note that it while the soundtrack contains a lot of music, no narration is heard.  

This portion focuses on Jamaica and the Bahamas. This segment begins in Montego Bay (:20) with a wide span of a golf course (:39). The Diamond Center offers accessories such as pearls and Buler watches (1:01) to the traveling pedestrian. After shopping, tourists enjoy sunbathing (1:22). Back in the downtown area, the Bank of Nova Scotia is spotted (2:28) as well as Barclay’s Bank (2:28). Tourists head to Sam Sharpe Square and peer at the center piece fountain (2:39). The film welcomes viewers to Ocho Rios (2:46). An advertisement for BWIA appears along the roadway (2:50). The vacationers take up lodging at the Plantation Inn; known today as the Sandals Royal Plantation Inn (2:52). Night rolls in at the resort (3:07) as a traditional Jamaican band plays for guests (3:07). A fire dance erupts on the floor (3:17). The film catches a view from the boat looking back towards a diminishing coast as tourists enjoy a motorized boat ride (4:33). A male tourist prepares himself for a snorkeling adventure (4:44).

This film "Schley Ride to the West Indies" is the second part of a four-segment feature filmed by Wisconsin amateur filmmaker Norman Schley. An accountant by trade, Schley also founded a travel industry film company called Picturelogue. Like many of his other films, this one was intended to be screened in front of a live audience, while Schley read from a prepared script. So, you will note that it while the soundtrack contains a lot of music, no narration is heard.  

This portion focuses primarily on the French Quarter of New Orleans; however, it opens with images of Fort Montague (:08) in the Bahamas. Still in the Bahamas, tourists sit around a garden area as a herd of flamingo’s run circles in front of them (1:18).

Along the side streets in New Orleans, artists set up with complete works and continue to work on incomplete paintings as pedestrians pass by (3:29). A sign for “Starving Artists Gallery” follows (3:48). Lafayette cemetery (4:41) boasts a few famed tombs including Lafayette and the Mayfair Witches (fictional characters from novel by Anne Rice). The tomb of the Broil family is zoomed in on (5:41). One of the grounds keeper’s conducts a ritual against the stone facing of a tomb (5:55). Nighttime festivities erupt highlighted by neon lights (6:29). Bars and shops along the route include the Famous Door Bar (6:34), Rizzo’s Restaurant (6:43), the 500 Club (6:47), Hotsy Totsy (6:51) and other adult entertainment venues. Mardi Gras is visited (8:31) as participants wave red flags and elaborate floats ride down the street (9:04). The third oldest Parade Krewe; Proteus, follows (9:39).

This short film shows rare footage of the Gyro-X experimental car, which was constructed in 1966-67 by a company called Gyro Transport Systems, Inc. The Gyro-X is an aerodynamic, two-wheeled, gyroscopically-stabilized prototype which, at the time it was created, was believed to represent a revolutionary advance in auto design. The car was built by stylist Alex Tremulis, who worked on a series of Ford concept cars, including the Syd Mead-designed Ford Gyron -- a futuristic two-wheeled gyrocar first shown to the world in 1961. Stabilization engineer Thomas Summers, who during WWII developed guided missile navigation and stabilization systems, worked out the car's mechanical systems which included a large, hydraulically powered gyroscope.

The Gyro-X was intended to be an extremely fuel efficient and safe vehicle that was half the size of a normal auto, allowing twice as many drivers to use the highways. Like a motorcycle, the Gyro-X would have tremendous maneuverability and lowered wind resistance, and be able to achieve very high speeds with a small engine. Unlike a motorcycle, the Gyro-X would rely on its hydraulically powered gyroscope for stability, allowing it to take a 40 degree banked turn without tipping, slipping or sliding.    

The Gyro-X made its debut at the 1967 New York International Auto Show and graced the cover of "Science and Mechanics" magazine. Unfortunately, this car of the future wasn't quite road ready. It turned out that at speeds above 50 mph, the Gyro-X became unstable. 

Gyro Transport Systems went bankrupt in 1970. Eventually, the prototype car shown in the film ended up in the hands of the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Tennessee. It was almost completely ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a02913fe-6dc0-47e6-8c66-735026c62e46/66c36b2e-e447-4477-b708-39928f940ad9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kM5PTtQ9AFWjAi2ic3prbE</video:player_loc><video:duration>276</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T16:07:53.581Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dWTRtsk5VLnUe1B9aq6ZiU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/50ec35a0-a201-4016-8d01-380a08d6cd4f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s CHEX CEREAL TV COMMERCIAL  SECRET AGENT KIT   RICE CHEX, WHEAT CHEX, CORN CHEX   XD30652e</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This compilation reel was made on behalf of the Treasury Department during WWII to sell Series E bonds, better known as "War Bonds". It shows various mentions of the 5th, 6th and 7th War Loan in the newsreel press, and was likely used to assess how the message was getting across and to gauge participation by various media. The Sixth War Loan Drive raised 21.6 billion dollars in November and December, 1944, and was followed by the Seventh War Loan Drive from May through June, 1945, which raised $26 billion in six weeks.

Shot by an unknown American who was part of the U.S. occupation forces in post-war Japan, this home movie shows a visit to the countryside and with the Sakiyama Family. It also shows part of a wedding ceremony, a fruit and vegetable farm, the process of replanting and harvesting rice, and the preparation to what's presumably Farmer's New Year (April 1st).  It is believed this film was shot because of, and contains images of, Lt. Gen. Robert L. Eichelberger at the end. Eichelberger was a highly decorated officer who commanded the Eighth United States Army in the Southwest Pacific Area during World War II.  He retired at the end of 1948, so this film predates 1949 and probably dates to 1946-47.

Produced by the Forest Service in 1952, this short film tells the story of Smokey the Bear, the iconic U.S. Forest Service’s iconic representative for wildfire prevention. Despite the common belief that Smokey was named after a burned orphan bear cub, the opposite it actually true. During WWII, the Forest Service began a public information campaign, to try to prevent wildfires. The 1942 campaign featured Disney characters from the film Bambi, but the characters were only allowed to be used for one year. A new symbol was needed, and a bear character chosen featuring the name Smokey. This was adopted from “Smokey” Joe Martin, a famous NYFD firefighter who suffered severe burns in a heroic 1922 rescue. In 1950, a 3-month-old black bear cub with burned paws and hind legs was discovered in New Mexico in the wake of the Capitan fire. The cub initially was named Hotfoot Teddy by rescuers,  but he was later renamed Smokey after the iconic bear of the advertising campaign. The Wartime Advertising Council (later the Ad Council) coined the famous Smokey slogan: "Remember ... only YOU can prevent forest fires."

This film begins with a brief PSA featuring an animated Smokey, before showcasing Eddy Arnold performing a song written by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins, "Smokey the Bear".  Some of the lyrics include: "Smokey the Bear, Smokey the Bear, Prowlin’ and a-growlin’ and a-sniffin’ the air. He can find a fire before it starts to flame, That’s why they call him Smokey." Arnold's audience includes Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. At 5:13, another PSA includes a special plea for smokers, asking them to snuff cigarettes and matches, and at 5:58, another PSA reminds viewers that only 10% of forest fires are naturally caused, with the rest being caused by humans. At 6:50, another PSA shows proper methods of burning trash and b...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e5d6047c-51ea-43c8-9dd5-ec12468554ab/19cad76b-5fce-4137-9714-7eedf40a4a6a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uo781vwscf4M1aKn6d8MJt</video:player_loc><video:duration>471</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T16:36:55.830Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6Ap6iKYGuvb2hiGRwZ5d5q</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1b156016-164b-47e4-98ee-a7e6bbd911a3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE EYES AND THEIR CARE" 1947 EDUCATIONAL FILM   VISION, OPTOMETRY, EYE CARE    89514</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Scanned from a 70mm camera original, this silent footage shows the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger. Challenger was destroyed on January 28, 1986, and all seven crew members aboard were killed. The disaster was caused by the failure of the two redundant O-ring seals in a joint in the Space Shuttle's right solid rocket booster (SRB). The record-low temperatures of the launch reduced the elasticity of the rubber O-rings, reducing their ability to seal the joints. The broken seals caused a breach in the joint shortly after liftoff, which allowed pressurized gas from within the SRB to burn through the wall to the adjacent external fuel tank. This led to the separation of the right-hand SRB's aft attachment and the structural failure of the external tank. Following the explosion, the orbiter, which included the crew compartment, was broken up by aerodynamic forces. 

In memoriam to those lost in this tragic accident:

    Francis R. Scobee, Commander
    Michael J. Smith, Pilot
    Ronald McNair, Mission Specialist
    Ellison Onizuka, Mission Specialist
    Judith Resnik, Mission Specialist
    Gregory Jarvis, Payload Specialist
    Christa McAuliffe, Payload Specialist, teacher

"The Fire Triangle" presents different types of fires (electrical, chemical, etc.) and firefighting techniques, while exploring the "triangle" conception of fire, consisting of heat, fuel and oxygen. Shot in Los Angeles with the cooperation of the LAFD, it dates to 1962.

The film  opens with scenes of firemen working to put out a fire on a rooftop (:07) as well as fire ambulances running down a main drag in a city area (:10). Main titles (:37). A firefighter uses a hose to put out a burning building (:44). Large smoke clouds are seen in the background as two firemen prepare to fight the flames (:56). The film shows the various methods of how fires are put out (1:04) by a large city fire department. (The station shown at 1:30 is Station 30, which now houses the Los Angeles Fire Department Museum)  Within the fire department laboratory technicians learn the principles of fire control (1:17). The three factors which contribute to a fire starting are pointed to as a combustible object; or a fuel (1:29), heat (1:36) and gas (1:52). A glass cylinder is set over the burning ball of paper to show how a lack of oxygen puts out the fire (1:58). When these three ingredients are set together; this is what the film refers to as the ‘fire triangle’ (2:23). Various types of fuels are pointed out (2:37). Various fuels are heated with an electric coil or bunsen burner (2:59). An instrument is pointed to which will dictate the temperature of the coil (3:06). As the temperature of the oil rises over 900 degrees; it begins to burn (4:02). The film turns to show a scene of a burning building (4:49). In order to put out a fire, the fire fighters must remove one of the three elements contributing to the fire (5:16).

This 1976 tornado preparedness and safety response film titled “Countdown to Survival: Tornado” was commissioned by the U.S. Government Defense Civil Preparedness Agency . The film describes the elements of a modern tornado warning system as was developed at the Texas Tornado Warning Conferences in 1953 and included radar detection of tornadoes, a spotter network, and improved communications between the U.S. Weather Bureau, spotters, and public officials to better disseminate warnings to the public. In the 1960s TV changed the way tornado safety and preparedness information was disseminated and this film is likely a product of that development. This film opens with vignettes of people in a small town somewhere in America’s suburban midwest. It then goes on to display the moments before and after the onset of a tornado and informs the audience of appropriate safety response measures.

This 1960s TV commercial for Kool Aid features Bugs Bunny and the pop rock group the Monkees. 

During the 1960s, The Monkees filmed several commercials. At one point, Kellogg's sponsored The Monkees television show and Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork starred in a series of Rice Krispies commercials.  

When The Monkees debuted in reruns on CBS in the fall of 1969, Kool-Aid acted as a sponsor. Peter was no longer a member of the group, so Micky, Davy, and Michael filmed a variety of clips for Kool-Aid in the desert outside of Palm Springs, California and, in early 1970, at an amusement park in San Diego, California.

It was sponsored in the interest of the medical profession by Winthrop Laboratories Limited (:12) and produced by the Canadian film production company, Crawley Films (:29) founded by Frank Crawley and wife Judith in 1939. The film uses pseudonyms in order to protect the actual identities of those a part of the true story.

Made immediately after his death on January 24, 1965, this documentary film shows a brief glimpse into the highly influential life of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. It focuses on his burial ceremony and the impact it held over England. It opens with a note from the British Board of Film Censors (:08) certifying that it had been passed for general exhibition. Streets in Britain are seen lined with posters of newspaper headlines featuring Winston Churchill (:20) after his passing in January of 1965. Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England stands as a massive historical monument (1:01) constructed to commemorate Winston Churchill’s great ancestor John Churchill. Nearby is the birthplace of Winston Churchill; the small village of Bladon (1:06). An aerial shot of a country churchyard here follows (1:13). Churchill is also buried here. Locals are seen gathering for recreation around a small radio smoking tobacco and enjoying spirits (1:44). The churchyard where Churchill rests is viewed (2:01). Civilians stream out of Westminster Hall (2:19) in mourning of the late Prime Minister’s death. The procession continued for three days and nights (2:35). Scenes follow from within the hall (2:47) as Sir Winston’s casket sits in the center. His insignia as the Knight of the Order of the Garter sits on a cushion (2:57).

This declassified, color,  U.S. Navy training film from 1974 is about how to maintain the Fire Control System Mark 86, also known as the MK 86 Gun Fire Control System (GFCS). This system was created to provide ships of destroyer size and larger with an economical, versatile, lightweight, gun and missile fire control system effective against surface and air targets. The film shows basic steps in troubleshooting various bugs (called "casualties" or "faults" by the narrator) with electronic systems of the MK 86, most of which were apparently transistor based and utilized programs stored on magnetic tape. The process of identifying bugs, and replacing defective parts, was clearly difficult. This film was made by H.G. Peters &amp; Co. with a script by Esko Townell. A related film about the MK 86 can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WsFbklrT_w

Navy fire control technicians / fire controlmen sit at Mk 86 consoles, which have analog radar displays. Manuals and binders on a desk. Controlman focuses on his radar screen. Analog push buttons on the control panel. A red indicator of the OPC alarm common illuminates (:39-2:25). Technician looks for a fuse indicator that has gone out. Two controlmen review an electronic circuit diagram or schematic. Controlman moves a knob to pre-standby so that a power supply can be removed and replaced. Two technicians remove a power supply.. Another controlman uses an electrical meter to test the resistance of component transistors. A controlman screws in the part. The machine door is closed. Buttons are pushed on the console. A working MK 86 surface radar screen (2:26-4:32). Controlman pushes buttons on his console as part of daily testing of the system. He stares at his machine, his must isolate his problem. He goes and opens a machine, looks at the data list on the inside door.

Made for U.S. Navy aviators by the Ralph Hall Company, this color training film "Carrier Landing Mishaps" shows a series of landing accidents, in an attempt to educate pilots about proper landing technique. As you might suspect, all of the accidents shown are linked to human error. The film was apparently shot aboard the aircraft carrier USS Coral Sea Carrier (CV-43) with the assistance of Air Wing Reserve 12 (CARAIRWINGRES TWELVE). Most of the aircraft featured are Ling-Vought-Temco Corsair IIs, as well as the F-4 Phantom. The film was released in 1970. Note: most landing accident films were shot on video with a fairly low technology camera, known as a Pilot's Landing Aid Television (PLAT), and as a result some of the incidents are hard to see. 

Opening title: Carrier Landing Mishaps (:06-:14). A plane lands on a carrier. Cockpit POV approaching a carrier. The Corsair II plane lands. Navy crewmen come out to assist. Pilot exits a cockpit. Corsairs land on the carrier deck (:15-1:45). The plane shown tail #154397 was part of VA-122 as NJ-262. Pilot in a plane, he grips the throttle. F-4 Phantom takes off from USS Enterprise (CVN-65), goes straight down into the water. Plane goes over the edge as seen from a deck camera (1:46-3:32). A pilot salutes and then takes off. Pilot ejects as he realizes something is wrong. An F-4 lands into the crash barricade, the plane and pilot are ok. F-4 engine fails as it takes off, plane corkscrews to the side, and crashes into the water. A pilot ejects shortly after takeoff as his plane malfunctions.

This was released circa 1956, with the intent of touting the achievement represented by the "first true submersible" -- a submarine which did not have to surface to recharge its batteries or operate its air-breathing engines. The film also suggests that nuclear power has a limitless future, and reactors could not only power ships, but entire cities and nations. At the time the film was made, the Nautilus was new under commission and had not yet transited the North Pole. 

USS Nautilus (SSN-571) was the world's first operational nuclear-powered submarine and the first submarine, under Commander William R. Anderson, to complete a submerged transit of the North Pole on 3 August 1958. Her initial commanding officer was Eugene Parks "Dennis" Wilkinson. Nautilus was decommissioned in 1980 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982.

Opening titles: The USS Nautilus (:09-:31). People walk around in Groton, CT. John J. Hopkins, president of the General Dynamics Electric Boat Shipyard, speaks. President Harry S. Truman speaks (:32-2:16). Keel plate is lowered into position, the production of the world's first nuclear powered submarine has begun. President Truman writes his initials on the keel plate.

Gospel Films, Incorporated (0:15) presents “Betrayed” (0:26), an unabashedly Christian film telling the story of the Aberdeen family.  They are wealthy, concerned with business, their social standing, and other material concerns. Although their devoutly Christian, African American maid Mattie prays for them, and tries to speak to the son, Ron, about Jesus, the family remains disinterested. Ron’s mother, Kate, only realizes their need for prayer after Ron is put in jail for crime. The film prolog states "Betrayed" is  “the tragic story of a boy whose parents gave him everything, except the one thing he needed most " -- accepting Jesus Christ as his savior (0:29). The film was written and directed by Ken Anderson, former editor of the magazine "Mocidade para Christo". Anderson's company  eventually grew to be one of the largest Christian film distributors in the world.  The film stars Joyce Blackburn and Harry Zavos.

The movie opens on the mother Kate's remorseful monologue (1:40). Kate and husband, Tom, quarrel over superficial affairs (2:10); Mattie retorts to herself, “that's the unfamiliest family I ever did see” (2:36). 

Then Ron sneaks off (2:57), and Mattie merely sighs (3:36). Adolescent boys, Sneed, Loopey, and Shorty work at a garage (3:56). Ron bullies them to join him in theft (36:13). Though Sneed and Shorty are nervous (6:11), they are pressured by “Ronnie” to come to rob “an old bachelor, lousy with dough” (6:27). 

All four are at the old man’s home (6:38). 

Shorty climbs through a window, noisily, waking the homeowner (7:37). The man dials the police (8:05).
 
Ron’s father, Tom, uses his influence to cover up the crime so that family friends would not find out (9:05). Kate confesses that she was so humiliated that she might have disowned Ron otherwise. 

The family goes to church (9:14). Mattie is “in ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c8f2b6ef-40f8-45da-827c-07617a6cfbd0/374a71f7-1d3f-4cfb-92e6-c27c1d399382-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qPd4ed3GdyVA9xZAxSj4BE</video:player_loc><video:duration>2173</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T17:25:51.502Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/68cvr6Xs3rgnSEgNTMrKZ1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5532f521-faae-4fb0-91fc-694ab3ce497b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“WAGON WHEELS ON THE OREGON TRAIL”  1950s HOME MOVIE   TRIP TO PACIFIC NORTHWEST  43974</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This seldom seen 1975 color film by William L. Loeffler discusses the history of gold and silver mining in and around Durango and Silverton, Colorado. It is narrated by Peter Thomas. Photomontage is employed to recall the Gold Rush days of the Wild West, while live-action documentary footage of the region shows how modern tourism and the Durango &amp; Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (formerly known as the Denver &amp; Rio Grande Western Railroad or DRGW) have kept the would-be “ghost towns” alive (TRT: 25:40).

This educational film was created to show a glimpse into medieval life; an era which spanned from 476 AD to around 1400, with a specific focus on the knights. It shows a narration of a young man’s path as he grows from page to knighthood. The film was produced in France by Encyclopedia Britannica Films (:29) in collaboration with John’s Hopkins University. A monk is depicted writing tales of events of their time (1:02). Boniface was the guardian of the chronicles of events up until the fall of the Roman Empire (1:09). Medieval battle scenes play out as knights shoot arrows at their opponents (1:15). A serf offers himself for work (1:24). Early stories from this era tell that the knights were brutal fighting men whose only occupation was war (1:31). Knights take guard on the outer edges of the castle (1:40). A code of honor was developed as a group of knights meet around a table (1:44). One of Brother Boniface’s tales is of a young man called Robert whose story begins in 1192 (2:17). Robert was sent by his father to learn chivalry and the skills of knighthood (2:25). A young Robert is pictured here at the start of his apprenticeship as a page (2:42). The lady of the house was to be his guide (2:51). She teaches him how to properly enter and greet others (3:19). Robert is seen meeting another page (3:47).

After retiring as a railroad conductor, in 1858 he became the General Agent for Seneca Oil and began to drill for oil through pipe (4:41). Uncle Billy Joe (4:53) was Kier’s driller. As traditional methods failed, they began to drill using modern methods (4:59). On August 27th, 1859 they hit 69 feet (5:01) and were able to strike oil sometime after. The year 1959 is the centennial celebration of this major event (6:56). Modern oil drilling appears shortly after (7:08) as well as an offshore oil drilling installation (7:31).

This National Safety Council film takes a look at drug use specifically in the truck driving industry, where schedule demands and work pressures create conditions that can promote substance abuse. Truck drivers are stated to have a tendency to fall into substance abuse due to the pressures and inherent loneliness of the job. The NSC is a member-based organization founded in 1913 which promotes health and safety in the US. Tom Decker, Vice President of Corporate Relations of the NSC (:13) opens the scene. Employees circle around in a break room between shifts (:43). One man tells his coworker his concern over having his physical moved from a month away to a week away as he will not pass a urine test due to drug use (1:02). The National Safety Council logo appears (1:04). Two men sit on a small fishing boat (1:16) prior to the title screen appearing (1:26). One of the fishermen expresses concern over his friend whom has developed a drug habit and is at risk of losing his job (2:14). The scene cuts to night at a gas station with the man the fisherman’s concern is over (2:51). As he checks the tire pressure (3:13), his drug dealer approaches him and offers him speed as the truck driver appears to be ‘beat’ (3:35). The truck driver turns the dealer down (4:21). Back on the fishing boat, one of the men describes his own history with substances and how he began with doctor prescribed painkillers. These made him drowsy and this led to him adding uppers to the mix in order to stay productive on the job (4:50). Jack and his wife argue in the kitchen of their home as they struggle with finances (5:15). In the front yard of the house, the friend and fisherman to Jack calls him out on his drug use as they rake leaves together (7:07). Jack continues to deny he has a problem (7:46).

This film is about an unconventional summer camp known as Camp Concern, which was created by a U.S. Navy commander for underprivileged youth. Camp Concern was based at the Bainbridge Naval Academy aka United States Naval Training Center Bainbridge (USNTC Bainbridge). Now defunct, Bainbridge was the U.S. Navy Training Center at Port Deposit, Maryland, on the bluffs of the northeast bank of the Susquehanna River. The film was directed by M.E. Patridge. 

The film opens with scenes of poverty and urban decay in Baltimore, as youth play with old tires down a dirt road (:30). The Commanding Officer of the Bainbridge Naval Training Center; Captain H. D. Durham (1:19), and Mr. James Smith (1:36); the executive director of the camp speak on an incident in which John Mackey and Lenny Moore (American footballers) approached them about setting up a camp for youth in the area. From here they began ‘Camp Concern’ (2:10) The offices of Economic Opportunity, Health, Education and Welfare and the Mayor of Baltimore, Thomas J. D’Alesandro (2:29) worked together to create a summer camp for disadvantaged youth. Unused areas of the Bainbridge installation were chosen as the site (2:50). Staff members hand out tickets as kids to load up onto the buses (3:13).

This film "Within this Decade" draws its title from John F. Kennedy's speech, which challenged America to land a man on the Moon by the end of the 1960s. The movie presents a summary of NASA's progress and traces the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs.  The film opens with shots of the Moon’s cratered surface (:25) and the title screen (1:25). Unmanned space crafts were tested and developed in NASA’s research centers (1:58). The footage shown was collected from unmanned space crafts (2:12). A new family of satellites had been developed. They were to initially carry instruments, and later carry life, into space in order to understand how it would react to the space environment (3:20). NASA also sought to explore for other signs of life (3:49) and therefore sent an unmanned craft to view Venus’s surface (3:58) as well as deep space probes to visit Mars (4:34). New instruments were developed to investigate the lunar surface (5:19). Footage from some of these follow (5:26) including an unmanned craft collecting information from the surface (5:48) and shots retrieved of lunar surfaces from a craft that had mapped 95% of the moon (6:12). All of this helped to confirm that the moon’s surface was safe for the future lunar landing mission (6:24). For on Earth advancements, satellites were now able to track weather, to be used as beacons for navigation (6:53), and for photographing storm clusters (7:25). For communication, the large balloon, that was Project Echo (8:09); the first passive communications experiment was developed. It acted as reflector of microwave signals bouncing these signals from one location to Earth. These advancements were also made available to television programs (8:30). Sveriges Radio is seen on a camera (8:35) which is Sweden’s nationally publicly funded radio broadcaster showing advancements were share...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/24f27489-37b2-4610-a64d-16486b3bd390/4e344aea-42ec-425f-947e-ac51e699025f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5yBRVo26Wy5mqV7WvvZyEu</video:player_loc><video:duration>1721</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T17:39:16.976Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9kysM5gQUT1Dbr33PaYcRv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7a76b704-1361-4f21-b757-4f8c968d1586.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT PROMOTIONAL FILM   YOUTH FINANCIAL LITERACY &amp; ENTREPRENEURSHIP  87804b</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Produced in 1942, these rare films from Oldsmobile promote the B-44, the last cars made by Oldsmobile before the factory shut down car production and moved to making material for the war effort. They were shown in movie theaters. (We suspect they date to August, 1941, prior to Pearl Harbor but at a time when the War Production Board had already commanded a slowdown in automobile production.) Inspired by the fact that 1942 was the 44th anniversary of the company, the designation B-44 actually stood for an entire line of cars, and not a single model. In other words, very Oldsmobile that left the assembly line, whether it a Special 66, or Custom 8 Cruiser, carried the B-44 emblem. The cars featured a six or eight cylinder engine, "double protection" bumpers and streamlined "fuselage fenders".  The film at 3:35 promotes the clutchless Hydramatic Transmission, shown being operated by a woman (that's how easy it is!)  Interestingly, these advertisements have a military tact to them, with the one appearing at 4:25 even proclaiming "Defense Comes First with Oldsmobile" and showcasing how the company is contributing to America's defense build-up.  Oldsmobile's factory ceased production of the B-44 in February of 1942, and did not resume until 1945. The Hydramatic was the first mass-produced fully-automatic transmission developed for passenger automobile use, developed by both General Motors' Cadillac and Oldsmobile divisions and introduced in 1939 for the 1940 model year.

In 1942, Hollywood legends John Garfield, Bette Davis and Jules C. Stein opened the Hollywood Canteen. Located at 1451 Cahuenga Blvd. in Los Angeles, the club offered food, dancing and entertainment for servicemen, usually on their way overseas. The canteen was open to USA servicemen and women, as well as members of the military from allied countries. A serviceperson's ticket for admission was his or her uniform and everything at the canteen was free of charge. The Hollywood Canteen closed on November 22, 1945. 

Title: Hollywood Canteen - Overseas Special (:06-10). Hollywood Canteen. Servicemen file in. People dance and eat inside the Canteen. Dinah Shore speaks (:11-1:13). Lana Turner, Marlene Dietrich, and Deanna Durbin. Xavier Cugat plays music as couples dance. Judge and Mrs. Hardy behind the snack bar. Eddie Cantor sings a song onstage (1:14-2:10). Hedy Lamarr signs autographs. Red Skeleton tells jokes and drinks. Jimmy Durante. Service men clap. Dinah Shore talks (2:11-3:35). Dinah Shore sings (3:36-5:35).

"The Chow Hound" cartoon was directed by Frank Tashlin and first released in June, 1944.
It features Private Snafu and is one of a series of cartoons produced between 1943 and 1945. The films were designed to instruct service personnel about security, proper sanitation habits, booby traps and other military subjects, and to improve troop morale. Primarily, they demonstrate the negative consequences of doing things wrong -- in this case, the toon rails against food waste. The main character SNAFU's name is a play on the military slang acronym SNAFU, "Situation Normal: All F*cked Up." The cleaned-up version of that phrase, usually used on radio and in print, was "Situation Normal: All Fouled Up."  The voice of Private Snafu was performed by Mel Blanc.

In this U.S. Air Force training film (TF-6164b) from 1968, viewers learn about the ejection, recovery, and landing of the General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark Crew Module Escape System, an “escape crew capsule system that allows one or more occupants of an aircraft or spacecraft to escape from the craft while it is subjected to extreme conditions, such as high speed or altitude.” The film opens with a shot of a test F-111 Crew Module taking off and the crew escape capsule parachuting to the ground. A test ejection from a simulated F-111 sled cockpit on a ground track is conducted (01:30), with crewmen being ejected individually at 300 knots. The men parachute to the ground, lacking clear stability. The crew module is ejected at this point, demonstrating a more stable ejection than the previous test. An officer speaks to the camera about the automated ejection system of the F-111 crew escape module (02:30). A crew prepares a 3,000-pound static module for a test run (03:00). The module is ejected, and the recovery chute is quickly deployed. A sled ejection system flies down the track and the crew module is ejected (03:44), peaking at about 1,200 feet. The module safely parachutes to the ground. The officer stands in front of a crew module in a hanger (04:34), and he shows off aspects of the module, including the rocket nozzles for boosting the ejection (05:22), the stabilization glove of the module (05:50), and the pitch flaps and stabilization flaps (06:15). He then shows where the recovery chute is stored and deployed from (06:58). Animation is used to show the full eject system of the F-111 (07:40): how the rocket motor is initiated, tightening of the crew’s harnesses, the severance of recovery gear, the deployment of the stabilization break chute, the stabilization of the module, the deployment of the recovery chute (14:25...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f9373593-4665-4868-8150-98f099dfbbdb/8ae2cafb-c1d2-4d87-9b09-cc0700145cc1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wLUs7y3rg5PWSf5bueyJZZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1165</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T18:02:22.250Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gFfoGUGhdkexAjpUwxCgLr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/30c62c39-95c5-4bed-a416-35cb85c88331.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GENERAL DYNAMICS F-111 AARDVARK TERRAIN FOLLOWING RADAR  TRAINING FILM   80074</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This short training film (TF-6746) covers the use of Terrain Following Radar (TFR) on a General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark. The film opens with a pilot flying an F-111 near some hills at a low elevation. The plane clears a hill, maintaining a relatively constant altitude over the earth. This is done using Terrain-Following Radar (TFR). The film shows the instrument panel of the TFR system (02:28). A shot from the cockpit shows an automated guiding image that helps the pilot with flight navigation. Graphics show how the Terrain-Following mode works, sending out a beam to identify upcoming obstacles. The command reference line appears on the system’s monitor, the E-scope. Footage shows the F-111 diving and climbing depending on the setting and the data collected by the TFR. The film uses animation to show how a profile picture and the command reference line are created and shown on the E-scope. The system’s instrument panel shows what TFR settings the pilot has chosen (14:40). The plane’s Attitude Direction Indicator (ADI) reflects the system’s commands. Animation is used to demonstrate a TF descent, also called a “blind letdown” (17:58). On the ground, aircraft crew check the F-111’s TFR equipment (21:35); the F-111 taxis onto the runway for takeoff and runs through TFR safety checks. It then takes off. A shot from the cockpit shows the point of view of the pilot as the plane flies in the sky; the pilot enters the settings for an auto TF. The F-111 flies next to mountains and utilizes the aircraft’s TFR, with the pilot reporting the results over his radio. Terrain-following radar (TFR) is an aerospace technology that allows a very-low-flying aircraft to automatically maintain a relatively constant altitude above ground level. It is sometimes referred-to as ground hugging or terrain hugging flight.

Shot by an unknown visitor, this recently discovered, extraordinary silent 16mm film shows views of the Cherokee Plantation in Yemassee, South Carolina, as well as a baptism ceremony. It likely dates to the 1940s. This film has an interesting story -- it was discovered in the trash by NYC resident Stewart Greenstein, who recognized that it was historically important and saved it. He held onto it for over two decades before turning it over to Periscope Film for preservation and digitization.

The Cherokee Plantation shown in the film, also known as the Board House, is now a 7,000-acre private golf and sporting club. It was originally part of a land grant to Joseph Blake in 1690. The plantation relied on slave labor up until the time of the Civil War. The African Americans seen in the film are likely sharecroppers or hired help who continued to livedon the property. 

The film begins with a shot of a sign marked "Cherokee Plantation, W.R. Coe". This refers to W.R. Coe, who along with his wife Marion Coe purchased the plantation from the Blake family in 1930 and set-out to make it their winter home. The Coes hired the landscape firm that designed Central Park in New York to lay out the grounds and had architects travel to Europe to purchase pieces that the plantation's house would be designed around. The house seen in the film was completed in 1931. The Coes renamed the plantation Cherokee after the native flower, the Cherokee Rose.  Roses are visible all through the start of the film. The couple at 1:00 may very well be W.R. and Marion Coe. Shots of the extensive gardens follow.

This recently discovered silent 16mm home movie shows views of the Crespi Estate in Dallas, Texas as well as the Cherokee Plantation in Yemassee, South Carolina. It dates to 1951. The Crespi estate, now known as the Crespi Hicks Estate, is considered by some to be the finest estate home in America. It is found in Mayflower Estates, a Preston Hollow neighborhood in Dallas, Texas.

The film begins with shots of the Crespi estate in Dallas, Texas. Built in the 1930s by an Italian-born cotton baron, Pio Crespi, the French chateau-inspired house is covered in Indiana limestone and decorative ironwork.It is believed that the man shown in the film is Crespi, but this has not been confirmed. Another building shown at 3:40 is not identified. At 3:39 are views of the Cherokee Plantation main house and grounds. 

The Cherokee Plantation, also known as the Board House, is now a 7,000-acre private golf and sporting club. It was originally part of a land grant to Joseph Blake in 1690. The plantation relied on slave labor up until the time of the Civil War.

The weapon being tested is described in a title card as a "V.A.R." -- most likely meaning Velocity Aircraft Rocket, and the tests seem directed at determining whether these missiles can be launched without endangering the aircraft. It's possible that the footage is from summer of 1943, when the United States Navy launched a high-priority project for the development of an anti-submarine rocket. The weapon shown at 5:57 closely resembles a "Mousetrap" rocket bomb, which was widely used for anti-submarine warfare aboard ship. The Mousetrap weapon used a rocket and rail system that created almost no recoil, which made it well suited for aircraft use, as opposed to the more famous Hedgehog system (which was also much heavier). It's not clear that Mousetrap rockets ever made it into the fleet, as the most common weapon deployed on  the Grumman TBF was the 3.5-Inch Forward Firing Aircraft Rocket, or 3.5-Inch FFAR. The FFAR's first "kill" of an enemy submarine took place 11 January 1944.

The film begins in the desert, possibly at China Lake, as a TBF Avenger, is launched from a ground catapult that simulates a flight deck. Title card: Catapult test in slow motion, Take-off normal (:09). Title card: Destructive Tests of V.A.R. (1:54). A wrecked TBF Avenger test plane, hull 26-GS-18; the undercarriage of the plane (2:37). The plane was lashed with a steel cable and a round was moved about 4 inches, no damage is shown (3:34).

Shot in January of 1942, "Congo Flight" presents a rare look at southern Africa during WWII. This silent film shows a trip from South Africa to the Belgian Congo aboard a Lockheed Model 18 Lodestar. The airplane was operated by the Belgian airline SABENA (standing for Societé anonyme belge d'Exploitation de la Navigation aérienne) and flown by a pilot who escaped Brussels when the Germans invaded. According to notes that came with the film, it has rare views since, a short time after it was created, aerial photography was prohibited in southern Africa for the duration of the war. The notes also explain that "The journey starts in Cape Town, takes a route through Bloemfontein, Johannesburg, the Rhodesias, Congo, and ends with a return to Cape Town." Since it was wartime, the notes (among other things) mention that the "enormous native populations numbering many millions, stand solidly behind the European inhabitants in their common aim to fight till tyranny is destroyed."  The film begins in Cape Town (:41) and shows the airplane taking off for Bloemfontein, also known as Bloem, with the Cape Flats and False Bay visible, past the Holland Mountains and over Little Kerroo, crossing the Orange River into the Orange Free State. At 4:21 the Vaal Dam is shown which was constructed in 1938. The city shown at 5:00 is Johannesburg. At 7:48, the Limpopo River is seen from the air. At 11:12, the film shows the airport at Elizabethville, now Lubumbashi, Congol. At 11:15 an interesting flag is shown (which we have not been able to identify but probably belongs to the Belgian military). Scenes in Elizabethville follow, , including the cathedral, war memorial, and town swimming pool.  At 12:13 a Katanga man receives a haircut with a knife. At 13:54, men in pith helmets and military uniforms are shown. The man at 13:48 is apparently t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/77d831e7-c40d-4405-abac-eed1ca9b0d2a/70732b9b-da57-40af-b3ad-f47f7ddf4d18-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fNkxarLdWU85Jwy2xVj3Gj</video:player_loc><video:duration>1759</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T22:05:37.751Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/g7MWy6TSusVtARq2UH3tXN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c5932cb9-aed1-4093-9698-a6306c079314.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>VOLKSWAGEN FACTORY  PRODUCTION OF VW BUGS, MICROBUS, FASTBACK    WOLFSBURG, GERMANY - 1970s  86414</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

One of a series of short films that made up the "G.I. Movie Weekly", a news magazine shown to troops, "Information Please" features radio commentator Clifton Fadiman peppering a team of noted experts with questions, many of which take the form of pantomimes. Host Clifton Paul "Kip" Fadiman was the Alex Trebeck of his era -- an intellectual, author, editor, radio and (after WWII) television personality who had "encyclopedic knowledge" spanning many topics.  "Information Please" ran as a radio show on NBC from 1938 to 1951. The title was the contemporary phrase used to request from telephone operators what was then called "information" and later called "directory assistance". During World War II, the show frequently went on tours from its New York City base to promote the buying of war bonds. 

In "Information Please" Clifton fires questions at a quartet of experts. If any of them get it right, a cash register sound is heard and a $25 defense bond is donated by Pathe to the Red Cross. Although this performance was filmed, the show is presented the same way it was recorded for radio broadcast. Three men and a woman answer the questions: Oscar Levant, pianist, Cornelia Otis Skinner, actress and author, Franklin P. Adams, newspaper columnist, and John Kieran, sports expert. Questions are asked (:49-2:58). A pantomime about Sir Francis Drake -- a man practices bowling while the four watch him. The group then answers questions.

This briefing film "The Antarctic" was prepared especially for members of Operation HIGHJUMP.  HIGHJUMP, officially titled The United States Navy Antarctic Developments Program, 1946–1947, was a United States Navy operation to establish the Antarctic research base Little America IV.  The film draws upon footage shot in 1939-1941 by the Antarctic Service Expedition, also often referred to as Byrd’s Third Antarctic Expedition. The Expedition consisted of 125 men aboard two ships, USMS North Star and USS Bear. Observations were conducted in every conceivable area: seismic, cosmic ray, auroral, biological, tidal, magnetic and physiological to name a few. Two bases were established, only to be abandoned as the world political climate deteriorated. HIGHJUMP represented a return to the Antarctic by Byrd and the United States Navy.

This silent film shows Canadian Royal Navy activities during WWII, primarily anti-submarine warfare exercises. The film starts with footage aboard a warship with anti-aircraft guns clearly visible and crew milling on deck. This is HMCS Woodstock, a Royal Canadian Navy revised Flower-class corvette, K238, part of the WWII Mid-Ocean Escort Force (MOEF).

At :46 the HMCS Caraquet, a Bangor-class minesweeper which served in the Royal Canadian Navy is seen. At 1:18, a hedgehog anti-submarine weapon is seen on deck. At 2:14, a British submarine is seen close by. The hedgehog is fired. At 3:04 the submarine P553 is shown. (This was actually the old American boat USS S-21, which was transferred to the Royal Navy at New London on 14 September 1942. She remained in American waters, based at Halifax, Canada, as an anti-submarine warfare training boat.) P553 is seen again at close range at 4:19, possibly conducting a man overboard drill. At 4:59 the hedgehog is fired over the submarine. At 7:00 a lifeboat and the bridge of the training ship are shown. At 8:30, shots aboard the P553 of the deck gun and crew on deck. At 8:37, the K238 is shown, as viewed from P553. The film concludes with shots of crew of the submarine and other shots of the two vessels.

Cenex lawn tractors may have looked nice, but the company is apparently no longer in business. Tagline: "Cenex is the country way, Cenex is you!"

This incomplete color film with opening and closing titles missing offers an educational look at breast exam procedures in a doctor’s office, as well as instructions for performing a self-exam at home (TRT: 7:56). It likely dates to the late 1950s/early 1960s as it predates the use of mammography. Modern mammography methods were developed late in the 1960s and first officially recommended by the American Cancer Society in 1976.  The first completely dedicated mammography unit was developed by Gros in France in the middle 1960s 

Film begins in progress, as a woman in a doctor’s office rises from her chair clutching a handbag. The doctor wears a black bow-tie (0:06). A breast examination begins. The doctor uses his hand to rub the woman’s breast in a circular motion, feeling for lumps. A nurse looks on (0:08). The doctor takes the patient’s hand and guides her through the process as she lies down. She feels a ridge, which he identifies as a normal part of the breast structure. “You have nothing to worry about.” A sigh of relief (0:20). A self-examination demonstration is offered and accepted. The patient sits up and holds her shoulders level. Look for any change in appearance (1:21). Arms are raised above the head. Hands are brought down to chin level and pressed together. No signs of puckering skin (2:05). Next, the woman lies down again. “Palpation” is defined as “touching or feeling.” A pillow is placed below the woman’s shoulder. “Think of your breast as the face of a clock or a wheel with spokes… Follow each spoke to the center, the nipple. Press gently but firmly with the flat of your fingers” (2:46). The doctor says to pay particular attention to the upper area of the breast. The woman begins to check herself unassisted. “Suppose I did have cancer, doctor, would I be able to find ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5254eb66-c461-4c2b-8011-acdae7a7fdeb/660eefde-cc56-4d34-9263-a2eb037a03fd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/baEFAiTu8mTJfR9YqHsTLF</video:player_loc><video:duration>477</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T22:49:48.858Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uUZU2y6XhwuVdt83KSiPq4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/45f66341-5c4c-4380-a83f-84d482099aa5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LOS PSYCHOS MOTORCYCLE CLUB HOME MOVIE FOOTAGE   WEDDING FOOTAGE   CALIFORNIA  REEL 7 16984</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

While The Psychos became known for some of their community activities -- including supporting military veterans and participating in events to promote the preservation of Route 66 -- an offshoot of the club known as Vatos MC has a more notorious history.Shot in the 1970s by a proud member of the club, this silent home movie documents the club members escorting a wedding party.

Dating to 1958, this episode of the TV show "Silent Service" is entitled "The Triton's Christmas". It tells the story of a wartime Christmas aboard the submarine USS Triton (SS-201). This episode represented something of a change of pace from the normal action-packed "Silent Service" episodes, as the submarine is sent to assist and observe the first U.S. bombing raid on Japanese occupied Wake Island. (Triton was one of three submarines stationed between Midway and Wake Islands to mark the way for United States Army Air Forces B-24 Liberator bombers in strikes on Wake and to rescue the crews of any planes forced down at sea. She made no rescues, but, on the night of 23 December, she aided in guiding the Liberators in a night bombing attack on the island) The USS Triton's log for Dec. 25, 1942 reads: "0900, dived to 200 feet and held appropriate Christmas ceremonies." These included Christmas dinner with all the trimmings, a tree, passing out of Christmas gifts, and a Santa Claus. In the holiday spirit, one man learns that war sometimes unites families as well as divides them. The skipper of the Triton, Lt. Cdr. C. C. Kirkpatrick, became. a Rear Admiral and was Chief of Naval Information 

Hosted by Thomas Dykers, it stars Eric Fleming as Lt. Cmdr. C. C. Kirkpatrick, Paul Picerni
as Lt. John H. Eichman, Michael Miller as Lt. H. C.

Dating to 1955, this program from Paul Winchell (and puppet Jerry Mahoney) "Toyland Express" was a short-lived series. Only three episodes were apparently made. In the show, host Paul Winchell explores a playroom full of toys recommended by the Toy Guidance Council. Many of these toys were extremely popular during the 1950s through 1970s and introduced new innovative features.

Released by Castle Films in 1942 and sold for the home market through catalogs and department stores through 1945, this "Christmas Cartoon" short features a bookended live-action segment, introducing some children who are disappointed that Santa hasn't come. Dad sets up a 16mm movie projector and screen, and some magic happens -- a 1932 Terrytoon called "Toyland" comes on screen -- and when it concludes, presents suddenly appear. As the film comes to an end, carolers appear at the window of the family home, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.  The Toyland cartoon shown was directed by Frank Moser and written by Paul Terry.

This black and white vocational training film (with opening titles missing) aims to prepare beginner welders for safe and efficient handling of oxyacetylene torches with an educational tour of oxy-fuel welding techniques (TRT: 18:06).

A man dons goggles and tests an ignited oxyacetylene torch. Narration: “Engineers are placing more and more confidence in this method of joining metals together” (0:06). A torch welder repairs a piece of damaged metal. A blowtorch and filler rod in closeup. A group of two welders working in tandem. One wears a blast shield. “Metal welding is not just another trade, it is an art” (0:25). Tools of the trade sit upon a bench, laid out for easy viewing (1:21). A welder in a protective coverall suit, cap, googles, boots, and gloves fades into view. “Never do welding of any kind without goggles” (1:39). Setting up equipment and turning on gas tanks: Cracking cylinder valves to clear clogged dirt. Attaching nozzles and attaching hose lines to the regulator dials. Red is paired to acetylene, and green is paired to oxygen (2:26). Opening the cylinder valve slowly and adjusting the regulator screws (3:37). Connecting the hose to the torch and blowing out valves (4:28). Adjusting the regulators to match pressure (5:10). Lighting the torch with a spark lighter. Narration: “Tough guys burn just as easily as sissies” (5:34). A closeup of the torch’s flame as it is adjusted, with text indicating an “inner cone” and “envelope flame.” The “neutral” luminous cone melts a sheet of steel. A greater ratio of acetylene extends the flame’s envelope and boils metal (6:04). An oxidizing flame gives off sparks. A harsh flame creates a mess, a more controlled flame’s eye does better work (7:38). A flame is calibrated. As the valve closes, a neutral flame is formed (8:45).

The G.I. Joe line of action figures was developed in 1963 by Stanley Weston, a licensing agent, who pitched the idea of a 12" military doll to Hasbro. The initial product offering in 1964 represented four of the branches of the U.S. armed forces with the Action Soldier (U.S. Army), Action Sailor (U.S. Navy), Action Pilot (U.S. Air Force), Action Marine (U.S. Marine Corps) and later on, the Action Nurse.

Dating to 1965, these TV commercials for Hasbro's "Little Miss No Name" explains the reasons that it "needs more love than any doll you've ever had."  Designed by Deet D’Andrade, Little Miss No-Name had arms that extended in a "begging" position and resembled a refugee or orphan. The doll was apparently inspired by the wide-eyed, sad child paintings of Margaret Keane. The utterly bereft and heartbroken Little Miss No Name came dressed in a raggedy burlap sack without shoes. You might say she was the antithesis of Mattel's Barbie, with a large plastic teardrop spilling down her cheek. The doll was not a commercial success but decades later achieved something of cult status among collectors owing to its unique design and rarity.

The song at 1:10 says, "She's Little Miss No Name, she's lonely and blue ... she needs someone to hold her, someone who cares..."

It opens with a photographer using a Speed Graphic type camera, checking his exposed film for satisfaction after taking a picture (:43). A diagram then points to the image which was thrown by the camera lens that has left an invisible record of itself on the film (:51). This record cannot be used until it is made permanent and visible through the processing procedure. It is too sensitive to light and would be ruined if any light touched it (1:05). The sensitivity of light has to be cancelled out (1:14). A combination of chemicals removes this sensitivity and the film will demonstrate this process in step by step form (1:26). The image on the film is shown as a jet (1:38) and a cartoon demonstration follows of the silver salt particle’s activating to form the latent image (1:46). The first step of the process is to use a chemical to blacken the latent image (1:56). The chemical used is known as a reducer (2:03). Types of reducers include metol, hydroquinone, and pyro (2:08). The reducer is added to water (2:18) though once the negative is thrown in, it does not work as the solution is without alkaline (2:32). An accelerator of sodium carbonate is added (2:46). When both the reducer and the accelerator are combined the process still does not work (3:14) as it is too active and the reducer ends up working on unexposed silver particles. The action must then be restrained (3:19) and protection is needed for the silver salt particles. A restrainer of potassium bromide is added (3:24) which prevents the reducer from darkening the entire film while allowing the latent image to develop (3:32).

Dating to 1966, these TV commercials for Hasbro's Peteena show off some of the fashion doll's outfits. Peteena was a 9'' tall fashion dog with a stellar wardrobe and featured poodlesque hair, a retractable tail, twist n turn waist, and moveable arms and legs. The basic Peteena came in a bikini with a head scarf, plastic heels and sunglasses.  Some of Peteena's outfits included: Ballerina - Twinkle Toes, Raincoat - Slicker Set, Skiing outfit - Zero Coom, Pink Evening Gown - Ooh La La, Striped casual outfit - Campus Capers. The Pateena box states "Peteena – she’s a pace setter! She’s a swinger! She’s where the action is from skiing down the slopes to surfing in the sea! This pampered poodle wheels right in with the new look – strong and outspoken! A bit on the wild side!”

This film takes a look at the Kodak Rapid Color Processor Model 11 manufactured in 1963. Its release presented a leap forward from the tray processing that home photographers had been using previously for color print processing and it was nearly as fast as black and white print processing. The film opens with the information it will present the procedure for processing color prints with this model which could be done in the same length of time as the film; 7 minutes and 45 seconds (:17). The Kodak Ektacolor Professional paper is pointed to which will be required (:34). The CP-5 one-quart chemical processing kit (:43) contained five solutions with four of them arriving pre-mixed in graduated polyethylene containers (:56). The Kodak Rapid Color Processor model 11 is then shown (:58) and its features are broken down. The stainless-steel drum is pictured as the heart of the processor (1:17) and this holds several gallons of water which maintain the 100-degree developer. A close up is provided of the texturized drum finish (1:27) that rotates while drawing up solution from the tray and maintains the liquid that the paper floats on. The instrument must be level to ensure even upward flow of solution (1:42). The paper remains unscathed as it never contacts the drum (1:51). The man in the demonstration uses a spirit level to check balance prior to staring (2:02). This kit came equipped with a thermometer (2:10) and the running discharge water should be checked to be at 100 degrees (2:13). The drum and tray are rinsed, dried and cleaned before beginning (2:19). A span of the beakers which were to be used follow as well as the demonstration man pouring the developer out last (2:58). Of each of the solutions, approximately four ounces were required (3:05). The timer is set for 7 minutes and 45 sec...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/582f583f-bb1a-404a-ae07-2e452209f05a/09b3660f-2a80-4440-9b21-1624a1459f76-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bTA7QkL1TpjbBcjtFWqymj</video:player_loc><video:duration>506</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T23:10:17.094Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/huX4gL8D7Fr3J8mG4hEAyR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/332d7cf8-67bc-42be-bcf6-08b45cc804ae.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" UNCLE SI AND THE SIRENS "  1929 NUDIE CUTIE SHORT FILM  w/ TELEVISION BASED PLOT  49764</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Dating to 1929 and released by Cine Art, "Uncle Si and the Sirens" is a hilarious short film that mixes the excitement of the era's most hi-tech and revolutionary technology — television — with unclothed girls. This type of "nudie cutie" film was fairly common in the era, and Cine Art specialized in releasing these kind of titles. The plot of this film is more complex than most (they typically featured artists models and zero plot). Here, a farmer named Uncle Si sits at home reading about television, the most wonderful and marvelous invention of the age. In what might be a feverish dream, Uncle Si builds a primitive TV using radio tubes. He succeeds and the image of Miss Cynthia Squires, world famous temperance lecturer, appears on screen. Si's wife approves, but when Si changes channels a hula-hula dancer appears and then nude women. It turns out television really is incredible, right Si? Alas, Si's wife doesn't approve and, in a fit of pique, she destroys the device.

Note: this film was rescued and is in very poor condition, but is presented here because it is nonetheless fascinating.

This 1960’s film demonstrates how metal walls for commercial as well as residential buildings are installed. It is presented by the National Association of Architectural Metal Manufacturers (:39) and opens with images of a bulldozer scooping up earth on a construction site (1:11). Workers are then seen within a metal refinery (1:17) as metals are reduced to their molten state (1:20). Powdery alumina is reduced to metallic aluminum in large electrolytic pots (1:32) and is cast into molds (1:54). After the metals are cast, they are sent to the rolling mill (2:02) until they are reduced into plates (2:35). The extrusion process for non-ferrous metals is then demonstrated (3:14). Piles which have been cut to stock lengths are transported to the heat treat oven (3:57). Slitting rolls further cut the sheets into specific widths (4:26) while press braking bends the architectural parts (4:40). Glass production is shown (5:26) beginning with the materials being mixed (5:33) and reduced to a molten state (5:40). The molten mixture then pours from the furnace (5:43). The glass surface is smoothed (5:55). A porcelain enamel spray can be applied to either steel or aluminum (6:23). The coated parts are then fixed and dried in the oven (6:32). Workers move the preformed heavy gauge panels onto a high capacity conveyor system (6:49). Coil sheet stock is fed into equipment for a base coating and preliminary baking (7:10). Building engineers receive feed back from the wall manufactures during preparations for production (8:11). Shop drawings are made and production schedules are set up (8:32). Insulated panels are formed (9:11).

This black and white 1951 classroom film directed by Ted Peshak and narrated by George Stone depicts a senior high school boy as he nervously attempts to ask a girl for a date, offering practical and economical dating advice regarding the potential of tame amusements such as square dances, weenie roasts, and taffy pulls (TRT: 11:08).

Opening titles: “A Coronet Film, What To Do On A Date” Educational Collaborator Evelyn M. Duvall, Ph.D., Consultant, National Council on Family Relations (0:11). Two young boys play catch on a summer’s day while a girl carrying groceries watches from afar. We are introduced to Jeff, Kay, and Nick. Narration: “Nick, well, he has a real dating problem. If he took Kay out on a date, what would they do, where would they go?” (0:33). Nick returns home for his tennis racket and Jeff noses through Nick’s notebook. A page reveals Kay’s telephone number under a reminder to report on the life of Nathanial Hawthorne. Jeff plays matchmaker and proposes inviting Kay to a community center scavenger sale. Nick was planning on asking her to a movie, “Wagon Train” (1:11). Nick picks up the phone. Kay is pleased to answer, but she’s already seen “Wagon Train.” The community center scavenger sale is a surprise hit (2:25). A white elephant advertises the sale. Teens decorate and label sale items in a crowded room (3:50). Nick helps Kay hang a sign for knick-knacks. Kay is having a good time. Wingman Nick smiles approvingly at the success of his good advice (4:58).

This brief newsreel shows the presentation of the Navy Cross to the "hero of the USS Panay", Lt. Arthur Anders, in San Pedro, California. The USS Panay incident on December 12, 1937, was a Japanese bombing attack on the American river gunboat Panay and three Standard Oil Company tankers on the Yangtze River. They strafed survivors in the water. Although wounded in the throat, Anders heroically assisted his crew and passengers, and wrote orders in his own blood to abandon ship.

Citation: The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Navy Cross to Commander [then Lieutenant] Arthur F. Anders, United States Navy, for extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty while serving as Executive Officer of the U.S.S. PANAY (PR-5) on the occasion of the bombing and loss of that vessel when it was attacked was attacked by Japanese airplanes during patrol in the Yangtze River, China, on 12 December 1937. Although severely wounded, suffering from loss of blood and unable to speak, Commander Anders remained at his duty station, directing the fire of PANAY's machine-gun battery and supervising abandon-ship operations. Displaying selfless concern for the safety of the ship and those on board, he gave his orders and commands in writing, and was a source of inspiration for all who observed him. His great personal valor throughout was in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

Made by the Jam Handy Organization during WWII, training film is about the aircraft magneto -- an engine driven electrical generator that uses permanent magnets and coils to produce high voltage electricity to fire the aircraft spark plugs. Aircraft magnetos are used in piston aircraft engines and known for their simplicity and reliability. The film employs impressive hand-drawn animation as well as stop motion animation techniques similar to those pioneered by Ray Harryhausen.

Opening titles: Scintilla Magneto Division of the Bendix Aviation Corp. presents The Aircraft Magneto Part 1: Theory Of Operation Of The Four Pole Magneto (:06-:32). Various machine pieces and screws move around and piece themselves together (:33-1:16). Different types of aircraft magnetos. A man places an aircraft magneto down. Magnets and wires are then placed down. A steel magnet is used and attracts iron. Each magnet has poles, north and south, opposite poles attract. Lines of magnetic flux are explained. Iron nail is stuck to a magnet (1:17-3:55). Iron nails are known as temporary magnets. Lines of flux. Magnet and wire (3:56-5:27). Wire and a magnet are near one another and explained with how currents flow. Lines of flux in the magnet and one line of wire. Diagram explains current flow (5:28-7:20). Using a stronger magnet is explained along with more coils of wire as flux linkage increases. Wire carries a current in an experiment (7:21-8:30). In the experiment, when the wire is cut, field around the wire disappears. Magnetic field and flux linkage is shown and explained (8:31-10:27). Lenz's Law is explained with a title card, a law stating that the direction of an induced current is always such as to oppose the change in the circuit or the magnetic field that produces it.

This black &amp; white educational film from MGM is about the life of Alfred Nobel. Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, inventor, businessman, and philanthropist. He held 355 different patents, dynamite being the most famous. We now associate Nobel with international prizes for peace, science, and literature, but during his life, he was dubbed the “angel of death” by the press and his explosive success seems to have led to regrets. His varied interests are reflected in the prize he established and which he lay the foundation for in 1895 when he wrote his last will, leaving much of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel prize: a set of annual international awards bestowed in several categories by Swedish and Norwegian institutions in recognition of academic, cultural, or scientific advances. Copyright 1939.

Opening titles: MGM Presents The Story Of Alfred Nobel (:06-:16). Sweden. Signs read: Swedish Academy of Literature, Alfred Nobel, Swedish Academy of Science, Alfred Nobel, etc. Actor portraying Alfred Nobel sits writing. 1866, Nobel does a chemistry experiment. He uses nitroglycerine (:17-1:27). Nobel tries to combine it with different substances but it isn't working. He drops some of the nitroglycerine into powder and creates dynamite. A fuse is lit and dynamite explodes. Nobel watches explosions. A train goes into a tunnel. Logs are dynamited. Nobel removes his hat and people shake his hand. Newspaper headlines (1:28-3:08). A medal for Nobel from France. A woman in black, she is mourning, approaches Nobel as he goes down the stairs. Nobel agrees to meet her son at a hospital. He enters and looks around at injured men. The woman hands a medal to Nobel (3:09-5:08).

Originally released in 1947 as "Jitterumba" and then subsequently re-released by Castle Films in 1949 as "Melody Masters #5",   this short features Desi Arnaz (misspelled in the credits as "Arnez"!) explaining all about the rhumba. Arnaz is joined by Judy Clark and an obscure songstress named Dulcina, presenting "Taboo", "El Cumbanchero", "Boteando", "Managua Nicaragua" and "I'll Take the Rhumba." 

The film gives a fairly good idea of what Arnaz and his orchestra were like as a nightclub act, and showcases Arnaz' engaging on-stage presence and breezy demeanor. (At 6:05, while introducing Dulcina, Arnaz takes a nice dig at his old boss, the famed Xavier Cugat, and he does a series of charming pronunciation fumbles including at 12:35 calling the "Lindy Hop" the "hoop". ) 

Incidentally, Arnaz' act is what is known as ballroom rumba or rhumba, which should be distinguished from traditional Cuban "rumba" (spelled without the h). Rhumba combined ballroom music and big band sounds with Afro-Cuban rhythms including conga, rumba and son cubano. 

Desi Arnaz, was a Cuban-American actor, musician, bandleader, comedian and film and television producer, revolutionary in the creation of modern television. He is best known for his role as Ricky Ricardo on the American television sitcom I Love Lucy, in which he co-starred with his then-wife Lucille Ball.  (Note: At the time the short was made, Arnaz was married to Lucille Ball, but of course she does not appear in it.)

Judy Clark's work as a singer included performing with Jimmy McHugh's Hollywood Singing Stars. She also danced and sang in the stage musical Lend an Ear at the Las Palmas Theater. Altogether she appeared in over two dozen films and several television productions.

Stately white homes, palm tree-lined streets, ships waiting in the harbor (0:09); “Discovery Goes to Key West” (0:37) in this episode of Discovery ’70 (0:57), the award-winning program for young people produced hosted by Bill Owen and Virginia Gibson. 

Gibson and Owen stand at the end of U.S. Highway 1 that starts in Fort Kent, Maine, and ends in Key West, Florida (1:06). Cars pass; the camera zooms in on an “END” sign (1:41). The highway was once a railroad. Old photos show the former railroad (1:46), its steam train (1:50), workers and equipment (1:55), and Henry Flagler, the man who inaugurated the project (2:15). The train crosses the sea (2:28).

Pirates like Black Cesar (2:43) and Henry Morgan (2:47) preyed on sunken ships near Key West (2:51). A ship sinks, its men struggle onshore (2:57). 

An overhead illustration of the town (3:22). John Simonton purchased Key West from a Spaniard in 1822. Men in horse-drawn carriages (3:33), and on the porch of a Johnson’s drugstore (3:38). Key West homes (3:42) were often built of cypress or madera mahogany. A car turns on Duval Street (3:58). The U.S. Naval Station (4:06), there since 1823, helped disperse the pirates.

Men load and unload large buckets of shrimp (4:19). Trawlers in the harbor (4:41). They use large black nets (4:53), and continue unloading their catch. A close-up of their shrimp (5:18). A man sorts lobster (5:25); more lobster brought up in a trap (5:43).

Large birds sit atop a display of fish (5:51), as sport fishermen look on. Charter boats go out to stalk giant marlin, tarpon, sailfish, and smaller varieties too. There hangs even one shark (6:12). People take a good look at the shark (6:19). A young boy touches its rough skin (6:26). Fishermen comprise an important segment of the tourists there.

Distributed by Eugene Castle's Castle Film company, makers of sound and silent newsreels, cartoons and other novelty movies, this short film focuses on the aftermath of the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the 1942 burning of the liner SS Normandie. The film begins with official U.S. Navy footage of destroyed ships, aircraft and facilities at Pearl Harbor. For reasons of national security, the film's narration and footage are fairly vague when it comes to specific damage. The narrator expresses outrage at the Japanese attack and vows that the Japanese will also "remember Pearl Harbor" once they are defeated. At 2:50 the capsized ships USS Utah and USS Oklahoma are shown. At 3:38, famous footage of the burning USS Arizona is shown immediately after the ship was hit. At 4:16, an Arizona whaleboat is seen off the side of the sunken vessel. At 6:13, a U.S. cruiser leaves Pearl Harbor, bound for the Pacific.

At 6:40, the film shows the ill-fated SS Normandie arriving in New York City  in 1935. Normandie served in the fleet of the French Line Compagnie Générale Transatlantique (CGT). At the time of her launch, she was the largest and fastest passenger ship afloat, and to this day is known as the most powerful steam turbo-electric-propelled passenger ship ever built. After the defeat of France in 1940, Normandie was seized by U.S. authorities at New York and renamed USS Lafayette. On February 9, 1942, the liner caught fire while being converted to a troopship (7:29). The ship eventually capsized. Although salvaged at great expense, restoration was deemed too costly and she was scrapped in October 1946.

Created by Ted Eshbaugh and Burt Gillett and the Van Beuren Studios, "The Sunshine Makers" was released in 1935 as part of the Rainbow Parade series of cartoons. It was re-issued by Borden's in 1940 as part of a campaign to promote milk and milk products in 1940.  This version of the cartoon is in Cinecolor, but originally it was released in two color Technicolor.

The plot of the toon is simple: the Sunshine Gnomes (happiness) do battle with the Blue Devils of Melancholy ( sadness and misery). The Gnomes bottle sunshine (milk) and use it to transform the Blue Devils into Bluebirds of Happiness.

Made by prolific filmmaker Sid Davis, whose cautionary films for young people were shown in classrooms around the USA, “Name Unknown” (0:12), is a movie that sternly warns teenage women against the dangers of trusting strangers that may turn out to be sexual predators.  This is a black and white version of the film; it was also released in color. Plot summary: Juvenile court judge William B. McKesson speaks to a young runaway named Edie and her parents about the fate that often awaits girls like her -- human trafficked, sold into white slavery, assaulted and even murdered. The Judge also rails against the parents, who he believes are too permissive and trusting. The Judge places Edie into juvenile detention hellhole for her own good so she can think about "whether showing off is worth a lifetime of regrets."

The title card at 0:18 acknowledges the cooperation and assistance of real-life Judge William B. McKesson of the Los Angeles Juvenile Court for appearing in the film. 

Judge McKesson speaks with Edie Adams and her parents (0:42). Just one in the hundreds of cases he’s handled as judge of the Juvenile Court. Edie ran off with a stranger that promised to marry her, but he has robbed the building and the loan office.

Carnival music is heard at a fair (1:11); a low angle shot of a Ferris wheel (1:17). A carnival pitchman plays the old shell game with a gullible man (1:22), who falls prey to the con (1:33). Judge McKesson, in a voiceover, tells the family that teenagers can be such “suckers.”

The judge pulls out a folder from his filing cabinet (1:37). He tells Edie and her parents about a teenage couple, parked alone in a car on a lonely road (2:03). A shadowy man in a hat approaches the car (2:17). He knocks on their window. With gun in hand, he forces the couple out of their car (2:34).

He demands money and jewe...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a63dd90c-e3f4-4988-b34c-127791140f0b/6adc7b7f-caaa-454e-a68c-ac139d1cbf44-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mwCWbTsGhNH24VSHN7ZRPZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>619</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-03T23:50:01.056Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/f2QfFEA2n1CSUR6rK7SpNq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ae99fe0c-70c3-4284-adf8-93feadb485e0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950’S TRAVELOGUE FOOTAGE IN PANAMA, ARGENTINA, PERU AND MANAUS, BRAZIL 52014</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This film takes viewers on a tour through Norway’s town and country area. The film is presented by the Norwegian Travel Information Office of New York City (:14). Some of Europe’s largest glaciers exist in Norway (:26). These attribute to the common use of water for power in the country. A rainbow is pictured formed by the mist from a cascading waterfall (:59). Bird’s eye view footage shows how the roads must zig zag and cut through the mountainous terrain (1:24). In order to protect motorists from falling rocks or snow, often bridges were made with a long cover over them (1:42). Cattle from a small farm perch around hilly landscape (2:05). Sight seers pause on the side of the roadway (2:12). The landscape of the area is rich with timber and waterfalls (2:33). A female rider moves by horse and cart over a small bridge (2:55). Logs for the timber industry are often floated down streams (3:11). At a family owned farm house, a man whittles away at a wooden rake (3:27). Farmers work to plow lands and heap hay bales into piles (3:51). Hay is then loaded onto a cart to be transported to town (4:23). Large commercial farms are pictured (4:47). Water power is utilized (4:59) to power a primitive grindstone. As it is so abundant, water also powers flour mills as well as general electricity needs (5:11). A heavy water plant in Rjukan; Vemork, known as Norsk Hydro (5:23), was a target of Norwegian heavy water sabotage during the second world war. A car enters a tunnel carved through the mountainside (6:04). One of the thousands of fjords in Norway is depicted (6:28). Small homes sit on the edge of the fjord (6:40). Often times, these waterways were the only means of travel between small villages. As vacationers ride out onto the waters, a coastline shot with mountains in the background is presented (6:57). A ferry delivers pedestr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/51ce4593-0764-4f09-a5cc-2b31a419a705/128544fb-b5fd-4b5c-840b-b0f7a215c539-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/b6Ucj428peaPTRABfodoRk</video:player_loc><video:duration>1271</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T00:02:57.186Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/chp3dyLdzJbLkxs3syHRQ6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/341835bc-23f8-45a6-86f6-90d4c135a2bf.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ PAN AM NEW HORIZONS, NEW YORK ” 1970’S FRENCH TRAVEL GUIDE    NEW YORK CITY &amp; STATE XD11602z</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

In 1943, U.S. Navy Commander Spencer "Seth" Warner created the "Grampaw Pettibone" character. Designed by cartoonist Robert Osborn, the character appeared in the Naval Aviation News and on various naval aviation safety posters.  These often featured case studies of pilot mistakes that proved consequential if not outright fatal. The “sage of safety” campaign proved successful enough that the Navy commissioned a series of UPA studio cartoons. This one, "About Sensations" was made in 1948. It does not feature the Pettibone character, but was probably inspired by that series. The hilarious and informative cartoon tells the story of the human body's sensory system, including the operation of the inner ear. The film tells the story of U.S. Navy aviator Lieutenant (j.g.), Hank Morgan, a man of "unwavering power and concentration" and takes a peek inside his head to see how decisions are made. Unfortunately for Morgan, he trusts his inner ear and not his instruments, leading to a near crash. The lesson is that instrument readings, and not sensations or pilot perceptions, are to be followed at all times.

We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!  See something interesting?  Tell people what it is and what they can see by writing something for example: "01:00:12:00 -- President Roosevelt is seen meeting with Winston Churchill at the Quebec Conference."

These type of mistakes are always the result of negligence and carelessness. The 'toon features the sad tale of Ensign Dibble who makes a wheels-up landing while day-dreaming.

This film, dating probably to the early 1950s, demonstrates modernization efforts on the railroads as a shift from steam powered locomotives, to diesel engines, and begin to concentrate on freight service. The film presents a view of by-then already antiquated styles of passenger service, as well as an early look at multimodal transportation. The film displays an information technology landscape of punch card tabulation, fax machines, reel-to-reels and a feminized clerical workforce, and culminates in a spectacular demonstration of the control systems employed at Conway Yard.

Part 1: https://youtu.be/Fsl3l1Vt4ug

Directed by Louis J. Gasnier, produced by George Hirliman, and featuring a screenplay by Arthur Hoerl, the melodramatic film "Reefer Madness" was initially released in 1936. It was supposedly shot in three weeks.

Directed by Louis J. Gasnier, produced by George Hirliman, and featuring a screenplay by Arthur Hoerl, the melodramatic film "Reefer Madness" was initially released in 1936. It was supposedly shot in three weeks. The film was inspired by an actual case, in which a psychopath named Victor Licata killed his entire family while allegedly under the influence of pot (later he was determined to be schizophrenic). Here, the plot centers around a group of drug dealers who entrap innocent teenagers and lead them down the fatal path of addiction, with hot jazz parties as the bait and "reefer" cigarettes used as the gateway drug. Financed by a church group, the movie (originally titled "Tell Your Children") was of course planned as a morality tale and, essentially, as a scare film that would educate naive parents about the dangers of cannabis use and the hazards of drug dependence.

In 1943, U.S. Navy Commander Spencer "Seth" Warner created the "Grampaw Pettibone" character. Designed by cartoonist Robert Osborn, the character appeared in the Naval Aviation News and on various naval aviation safety posters.  These often featured case studies of pilot mistakes that proved consequential if not outright fatal. The “sage of safety” campaign proved successful enough that the Navy commissioned a series of UPA studio cartoons including this one, "Dive Bombing Crashes." The film urges pilots to be aware of their altitude by conscientiously monitoring their altimeter, and not just the target, during high speed dive runs.  At 2:17, Grampaw Pettibone delivers a homily stating how to do a high speed dive -- by the book. We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

Aimed at a foreign audience, this Israeli promotional film illustrates the daily life and basic training on a military outpost of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), including paratrooper training.

Created in the 1950s, "Contest Jitters" was one of the Castle Film travelogues featuring novelty sports, with a focus on women throughout.

There's also novelty sports including a skating chimp, lumberjack tree climbing, a bald head contest, and so on.

This rare, silent NASA footage from the Apollo Program captures a private event, apparently put on for NASA employees, astronauts and the Grumman team, to examine the Lunar Module. It also appears to show an ingress / egress test with an astronaut in a spacesuit mock-up. The venue is likely Huntsville, Alabama's Marshall Space Flight Center. The footage probably dates to the run-up to the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

The film starts with ​footage of astronauts Jack Schmidt and Gene Cernan deploying an S-band antenna, and then shows an unpainted Lunar Module (possibly a mock-up) in a large hangar. At 6:40 a man in a mock-up spacesuit climbs the ladder of the LM and then at 9:10 descends. His activities are monitored by a team of men who speak to him via radio. At 10:30, close-up on the booties of the "astronaut" as he descends. At 12:21, the director of the Marshall Space Center Wernher Von Braun is seen in the crowd, gesturing animatedly. Von Braun also appears in much of the rest of the film. At 14:07 he is seen examining one of the "rock boxes" on the side of the LM. At 14:27 he is seen standing in front of a display about the S-band erectable antenna seen earlier. At 14:55 following, various members of the crowd climb the LM ladder (n.b. this footage seems to be repeated, and was probably shot by two cameras simultaneously). At 17:45 Von Braun descends from the LM (it appears he starts to go down backwards and is told to go down it correctly by staff).  At 18:03 the hatch on the LM is shown. At 20:37, a man who appears to possibly be Christopher Kraft is seen speaking to three other men. At 20:50 some display items are seen including an STL engine chamber.   Astronaut Alan Shepard is seen fiddling with a rock box around 22:00.

Created in the early stage of WWII, this propaganda and recruiting film was intended to educate ordinary Americans about some of their responsibilities at the "home front".  This might include serving as Air Raid Wardens, Civil Defense Workers, or in services such as the Driver's Corps (whose members were trained in first aid and auto repair) or as messengers.  The film includes a brief excerpt from a speech by President Roosevelt, and uses the British auxiliary services as an example of how the civilian can serve.Air raid wardens carried the preparedness message and education to most city blocks and communities around the USA. Both men and women volunteered, attended warden schools, and put in long hours to help protect the state in the event of an attack. They brought what they learned back to their neighborhoods where they played the role of teacher, coach, inspector, and commander. The system worked on the concept of collective responsibility for the protection of the block and the neighborhood, and a weak link in the chain could be disastrous. Citizens were reminded of their duty to assist and cooperate with their air raid warden. They also had a responsibility to prepare their homes for the possibility of a bombing: "You will not protect it with alibis and good thoughts. If your neighbor takes no interest in this program he has become a hazard to you."This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA.

This short narrative film from 1970 is both an anti-drug PSA and as a quiet character study about two men and how they deal with the setbacks and disappointments of life. One of these men is Roger (Ron Fisher), a homeless dropout who takes “uppers and downers” (amphetamines and barbiturates.) While squatting on in abandoned boat, Roger is discovered by Charlie (Paul Backensten), an old man forced into retirement and left without a purpose in life. After Charlie buys the boat, he lets Roger live there while he restores it, and the two men slowly develop a friendship. At a doctors appointment, Charlie gets the low down on the pills Roger has been taking and the seriousness of pill addiction. Charlie then convinces Roger to stay onboard and help finish the boat project, giving both men something to live for, and Roger is able to kick his pill habit. Though they get the boat all fixed up, Charlie dies suddenly, leaving Roger heartbroken and once again unmoored. But not all is lost; in the last scene, as Roger boards a Greyhound bus, we see that he’s literally left his pills behind as he rides off to begin a new chapter in life. Starring Ron Fisher, Fred Ostero, Paul Backensten, Ben Freedman, and Pat McCallister. Written by Phillip W. Hoffman, produced and directed by J. Gary Mitchell. Distributed by Bailey Film Associates.

This black and white, animated U.S. Navy training film from 1945 was probably made by the UPA Studios. It is from the "Granpaw Pettibone" series. The toon features the sage title character, a retired pilot himself, recounting a fatal incident involving pilot mismanagement of fuel -- the crash was caused by the pilot failing to select the correct fuel tank. According to Pettibone, out of 1000 engine failure incidents caused by pilots, 50% were caused by inattention to fuel tank status. At 2:53, a pilot discusses how his tank went dry at low level and by the time he switched over, he had lost too much altitude and crashed. Other pilots talk about similar mistakes -- not turning on the fuel pump, or turning the selector to a non-existent drop tank. At 4:44 Pettibone summarizes lessons learned.

In 1943, U.S. Navy Commander Spencer "Seth" Warner created the "Grampaw Pettibone" character. Designed by cartoonist Robert Osborn, the character appeared in the Naval Aviation News and on various naval aviation safety posters.  These often featured case studies of pilot mistakes that proved consequential if not outright fatal. The “sage of safety” campaign proved successful enough that the Navy commissioned a series of UPA studio cartoons.

Dating to the immediate post-WWII period, this U.S. Navy cartoon "Collisions Occurring During Simulated Combat" was likely made by the UPA Studio. The cartoon features three fatal incidents in which naval aviators broke the rules and ended up in mid-air collisions. The stories are contrasted against three tactical tales of romance involving various aviators and a certain attractive young woman. The first incident shown involves a training flight in which two pilots make an unplanned, unauthorized simulated attack on a PB4Y Privateer. The wingmen lose track of each other and are killed when their planes collide. At 2:30, a group of Bearcats are shown in mock fighter director flight, and one pilot makes a fatal positioning mistake resulting in a midair collision. At 3:48, two aircraft in mock dogfight end up colliding in mid-air after pressing their attacks too vigorously. The film ends with a review of established Navy doctrine against unauthorized simulated combat. 

This cartoon draws from the contemporaneous work of Lt. Robert Osborn, who created a character known as Grampaw Pettibone in 1943 to enliven Navy safety tips for a Bureau of Aeronautics newsletter. Osborn was also the creator of more than 2,000 “Dilbert the Pilot'' and “Spoiler the Mechanic” posters, which delivered helpful reminders to US pilots of WWII.

This black and white, animated U.S. Navy training film is from the "Granpaw Pettibone" series. It features the sage title character, a retired pilot himself, who begins the picture by recounting a fatal incident involving two F4U-4 Corsairs (1:00). According to comments at (2:55), there were three join-up collisions per week at the time the film was made -- many of them likely fatal. At 1:22, Pettibone presents additional accident scenarios involving inattentive pilots who cause collisions by, for example, flying into a blinding, direct sun and losing situational awareness, forgetting where the airplane has blind spots, or getting distracted by dreaming about "another joiner" (a woman). At 3:07, Pettibone gives advice about how to do join-up techniques cautiously so as to do them safely. This UPA cartoon draws from the contemporaneous work of Lt.

Dating to the late 1920s, this film from the collection of Jeff Villencia shows the Kreutzer Air Coach, a trimotor airplane built by the Joseph Kreutzer Corp. at Clover Field in Santa Monica, California. The company opened on the verge of the Great Depression and apparently did not survive for long --  operations were suspended in 1931. It was later reorganized as the Air Transport Manufacturing Company in 1935. The Air Coach was the fifth type of trimotor approved in the U.S., the first being the Bach "Air Yacht" and the other three models built by Ford. Kreutzer eventually created three different models: K-2, K-3 and K-5 standard.  The Air Coach series could carry six passengers, and were used by small air transport operators in the United States and in Mexico. It sold for between $15,800 and $17,950 depending on engine configuration. The design featured a heated and ventilated cabin and shatterproof glass glazing. The last surviving aircraft of this type is now maintained airworthy by the private Golden Wings Air Museum near Minneapolis Minnesota. The tail # of the plane shown in the film is NC982-H; the surviving aircraft is N612A. 

Some of the areas of interest in the film include shots of the aircraft at Clover Field, the Kreutzer machine shops (2:20), where a fuselage assembly is shown. At 3:57 the Kreutzer Auto Laundry, an early car wash, is seen as well as the company headquarters. It was apparently located at 18th and Hope St. in Los Angeles. At 4:33 another business, Kreutzer's Auto Reconstruction -- a body shop presumably -- is shown. At 5:30 the wing of a plane emerges from the shop, to be moved to the airport for assembly. At 7:50 the airplane is fueled on the field. At 8:34 a young lady, possibly an aviatrix or starlet, poses with the aircraft. She appears to be about to christen it.

This silent film footage shows a mobility test conducted as part of the Apollo program. It's unclear when it is from or where it was shot, but it likely dates to the early 1960s and the era of Lunar Module / Lunar Excursion Module design.The mock-up shown in the film might be the TM-1 mockup of the lunar module, built in 1964 out of wood by Grumman. What's also interesting is that it appears to be shown inside a mock-up of the Lunar Module Adapter. The film was simply marked "Seeman spacesuit." It's likely that the reference is to Jerome Seeman, a researcher who worked either at NASA or the USAF Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory at Wright Patterson AFB. It's possible the film documents a test performed under his guidance. The spacesuit shown in the film doesn't appear to be a spacesuit at all, but something more akin to a mock-up pressure suit with a helmet similar to those used by rocket fuel handlers and a dummy life support backpack. The film roughly shows how an astronaut might enter and exit a spacecraft. He is shown entering the simulated lunar lander (its thrusters are visible at 1:59). He climbs a ladder at 3:45 and enters a hatch at 5:40. At 9:15 he leaves the mock-up on a set of stairs.

This moralistic short film from 1974 called “It’s My Hobby” tells a fictional tale of a student’s equivocations over potentially “busting” his friend for illegally selling pills to young people (students). The initial scripted story (0:11–7:14) is followed by a direct moral call to action for viewers. Film opens with title sequence: “It’s My Hobby” (0:11–0:38). High schoolers walk around school campus. Two teenage boys (“Ed” and “Scott”) chat about playing ball while holding books, walk together to parking lot. Ed opens trunk of car to place books but finds drugs (pills) instead (1:18). Scott returns from front seat, saying it’s his “hobby;” they discuss. On a patio with plants, the two sit down with beer cans (1:56) and chat. They discuss dealing, selling, buying, kinds of drugs, justifications (footage = back-and-forth shots of Ed / Scott in conversation). Scott is selling to other students (“I sell to anyone who’s got the money…it doesn’t concern you”). Ed takes swig of beer in stunned silence (3:15). Ed and friend (“Bobby”) approach lockers, deposit their books, take out lunch bags (3:22). The two teenagers sit on a campus bench and eat, with other students similarly hanging out in the background. Bobby eats a sandwich, Ed drinks Coca-Cola. They discuss (lack of) responsibility to turn a drug dealer in (“I don’t know what to do,” “well, be cool, whatever you do—be cool”) and then continue lunch (3:22– 4:46). New scene: Ed is in passenger seat next to friend (“Barbara”) in driver’s seat (viewed through passenger’s side window). The two discuss responsibilities towards Scott’s drug dealing habit (“I don’t think you can bust him…I think you should just forget it…well, bust him, but don’t expect people to like you for it!…people don’t like a guy who would bust a friend”). Barbara looks at him sternly, and Ed shakes hi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d97cbde0-8ed4-42f1-a5ae-e1264efdbbb6/a39f199e-d5d0-4ba4-9b1d-a70ad73e308b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sRErJRN2skZDLLeMUYuLSj</video:player_loc><video:duration>604</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T02:11:42.342Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iNvCcxDHrQNqcTLWdkZWvZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e8019cfd-e56f-4b92-bec7-106a3a756889.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s “ THE PRESIDENCY ” AMERICAN GOVERNMENT PRESIDENT TRUMAN  WHITE HOUSE  SCHOOL FILM  XD46434</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Made by the pioneering cartoon studio UPA (United Productions of America) in 1948, "The Rover Boys in Peril" or "Accidents resulting from unfamiliarity in aircraft",  is a U.S. Navy flight training film. It features three brave pilots who are challenged by an arch enemy Dan Baxter to fly unfamiliar aircraft. The result: three accidents. At 4:30 the commander lays into the Rover Boys for biting off more than they could chew. This cartoon was doubtless inspired by the work of Lt. Robert Osborn, who in 1943 in collaboration with Commander Seth Warner, created a “sage of safety” character known as Grandpa Pettibone for a column in the BUAER News Letter (produced by the Bureau of Aeronautics). The column addressed the increasing aircraft mishap rate. Osborn’s illustrations commingled with Warner’s narrative accounts of aircraft accidents. Following a description of a mishap, the old curmudgeon aviator railed at young fliers for making stupid mistakes. More than one aviator caught in a pinch in the sky has suddenly remembered a timely pearl of wisdom from Gramps that helped the flier avoid a costly- and perhaps fatal-error.Osborn was also the creator of more than 2,000 “Dilbert the Pilot” and “Spoiler the Mechanic” posters. These safety gems were liberally displayed in hangars and aboard ships during WW II and into the 1950s. In addition, he produced “Sense” pamphlets, which gave WW II fliers common sense safety rules on aviation subjects, such as “Flight Deck Sense.”In 1977, Osborn’s dedicated service to Naval Aviation was recognized when he was designated No. 14 in the elite group of Honorary Naval Aviators.We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

This 1940s black and white British recruitment film seeks to generate interest in the Palestine Police Force during the era of the British Mandate for Palestine. A brisk overview of colonialist policing duties emphasizes the diversity of both the region and its unique police force, which mobilized armed radio patrol trucks, horses, camels, and boats to deter crime in a changing environment (TRT: 16:30).

Made by Sid Davis, a prolific director of social guidance films, this anti-smoking film takes a blunt, no-nonsense approach to smoking cessation, arguing against the deceit of the tobacco industry with staged reenactments, stark narration, and bold title cards promising smokers a shorter life expectancy due to lung cancer (TRT: 10:21). It was apparently released in 1960.

Opening titles: “Sid Davis Productions Presents” (0:08). A man and woman walk through an open field. The man reaches for a pack of cigarettes in his front breast pocket (0:17).

A young man picks out a pipe at a tobacconist. A title overlay: “400,000,000,000 Cigarettes” (1:06). An elderly man falls asleep while smoking a cigar and starts a fire (1:42).

A man is offered bread at dinner, but he clutches his side and lights a cigarette (3:11). He smokes while lying in bed awake (3:51). Cigarette ingredients are listed: “Aldehydes, Arsenic, Carbolic Acid, Formic Acid, Methyl Alcohol, Hydrocyanic Acid, Nicotine” (4:10). Two men smoke cigarettes in an urban street.

These TV commercials for Roman Meal bread date to the early to mid 1970s, promoting the "light brown bread with natural whole grain goodness". Roman Meal bread is still sold today. It is baked with whole wheat, whole rye, flaxseed, wheat germ, honey, and malted barley. According to the ads, the entire whole wheat kernel is preserved in the process. 

Roman Meal Company was founded in Tacoma, Washington in 1912 and focused on whole-grain products, including bread, hot cereal, and snack bars. The company was founded on the principles that Canadian physician Robert Jackson believed to have been the components of the healthful regimen of Roman soldiers. The trademark is now owned by Flowers Foods.

Dating to 1946, this  black and white animated U.S. Navy pilot training film "Disorientation Crashes" emphasizes the importance of avoiding unnecessary low-level flight during solos. The cartoon follows a naval aviator named "Full Panel" Morton  and provides a lesson about disorientation and the importance of using instruments in low visibility flight. The cartoon shows Morton's early experiences with losing visual contact, including as a Boy Scout in a snow storm (1:00). At (1:29), on a night flight, Morton almost collides with a neon sign after becoming disoriented. At 2:30, Morton is again disoriented while flying at night in turbulent conditions. At 3:00, he's in a spin, tries hard to level out, but relies on his inner ear instead of his instruments. He ends up in a crash and the hospital. When he recovers he spends time in a LINK trainer and lectures his colleagues about the importance of committing to flying instruments, and not flying half contact and half instrument -- or you will get confused. "Visualize your attitude through your instruments and you won't have a thing to worry about."This cartoon draws from the contemporaneous work of Lt. Robert Osborn, who created a character known as Grampaw Pettibone in 1943 to enliven Navy safety tips for a Bureau of Aeronautics newsletter. Osborn was also the creator of more than 2,000 “Dilbert the Pilot'' and and “Spoiler the Mechanic” posters, which delivered helpful reminders to US pilots of WWII. We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

This episode of "Your Hit Parade" popular music show dates to September 11, 1954. The presentation is a kinescope, or a television signal that was recorded from a TV set onto 16mm film. The "Hit Parade" musical review show was sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes and Richard Hudnut Quick Home Permanent, and features advertisements for both products. At 13:21, golfer Sam Snead promotes Luckys. At :33, the animated Lucky Strike cigarettes sequence was created by special effects guru Ray Harryhausen. "Your Hit Parade" featured elaborate sets and choreography that was inspired both by Hollywood movies and "soundies" -- popular short film versions of popular songs. The show utilized a cast to perform the songs, as opposed to playing the versions then on the air. At (00:24:15:08) is an ad for Richard Hudnut's Home Permanent "Quick" Hair Product.The "Your Hit Parade" program started out on radio before moving to television in 1950, and ran until 1959. The show presented seven top hit songs. This episode features Giselle Mackenzie, Roy Landman  / Snooky Lanson, Polly Bergen, and Russel Arms, as well as Raymond Scott and the Hit Parade Orchestra.

This War Department propaganda film produced in 1944 depicts the activities of women war workers, who met the demand for industrial labor caused by the conscription of male workers and the need for increased military production as the U.S. fought World War II.

Dating to 1946, this  black and white animated U.S. Navy pilot training film "Flat Hatting" emphasizes the importance of avoiding unnecessary low-level flight during solos. The cartoon follows a naval aviator named Murphy who, as a child, had a drive towards self-destruction. As he grew older, he learned to tame his animal instincts (2:00). At 2:12, he is shown as an officer and a gentleman.  At 3:12, bored out of his mind while flying a solo, Murphy decides to buzz a farm, terrifying the farm animals and human occupants. He goes on to buzz a city and gets grounded in a court martial (5:00). He winds up the stockade. By definition, flat hatting is -- flying an airplane low and recklessly. (As if flying low enough that only people wearing flat hats could escape being struck.) This cartoon draws from the contemporaneous work of Lt. Robert Osborn, who created a character known as Grampaw Pettibone in 1943 to enliven Navy safety tips for a Bureau of Aeronautics newsletter. Osborn was also the creator of more than 2,000 “Dilbert the Pilot'' and “Spoiler the Mechanic” posters, which delivered helpful reminders to US pilots of WWII. We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

Dating to 1931, "The Electric Ship" is part of a series of "Marvels of Science" films made by General Electric. It was produced by John Klenke and photographed by Palmer Miller. It was made with the co-operation of the Panama Pacific Line. SS Virginia was launched on October 18, 1928 and delivered to American Line early in December, and made her maiden voyage on December 6, 1928. At the time it and sister ships were the largest ships that had turbo-electric propulsion, allowing them to sail without noise or vibration. The steamship had oil-fired furnaces heating its boilers to power two steam turbo generators that ran at a constant 2,800 RPM. These supplied current to their 18-foot (5m)-high General Electric propulsion motors, which had a combined rating of 2,833 NHP or 17,000 SHP. Virginia was sold and re-christened SS Brazil in 1938, and after 1941 became a United States Army Transport ship. She re-entered passenger service post war before being scrapped in 1964.

This 1978 color educational film represents the brutal sequel to the still-infamous 1964 driver’s ed scare film produced by the California Highway Patrol Office of Public Affairs. 
The film is simply a public service announcement about safe driving and against drunk driving, but it contains quite a bit of memorable gore -- intended to leave an impression on young drivers. In general, the "Red Asphalt" series of films is known for its graphic depictions of real car accident fatalities, and this film contains numerous shots of horribly injured bodies. Viewer discretion is advised (TRT: 14:16).  

Opening titles. Electronic music with the logo of the California Highway Patrol (0:08). A man with a mustache behind the wheel of an automobile drives while narrating: “The number one killer of young people is traffic accidents.” Footage of an accident under investigation. A body is pulled from the wreckage (0:19). Blood fills the gutter of a roadway, leading to a human hand. Titles: “Red Asphalt II”. A montage of bodies on stretchers being wheeled and carried into ambulances. Towed wrecks, firemen, bandaged heads, desperate, bloodied faces (1:00). A highway patrolman peers through a shattered windshield (1:42). Titles: “This film is designed to educate through reality. These are actual accidents… While there is no intent to create unpleasant reactions among viewers, the harshness of some scenes may prove distasteful to some” (2:08). A CHP officer hangs up his uniform in a locker room and gives an interview over footage of a crying baby in a car seat (2:41). The lead narrator discusses seat belts over footage of a gruesome wreck (3:16). A smashed engine in a jumble. An ambulance. Crowbars pry open doors. Accident survivors covered in blood (4:05). A third officer who speaks while driving advises against changing a tire by the sid...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/965774ce-be43-4705-ab4c-605b8279f4d3/51723668-84fa-4ce2-8e1d-77fb92bfb7bb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jyL584XU6bvog4CSr1LN6Z</video:player_loc><video:duration>857</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T03:00:25.202Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rAaaL7MesZoWbbWBTDHcBB</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/08ccf10b-7ecb-41e1-8b0b-85b7c604112c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" YOUR HIT PARADE "  OCTOBER 30 1954 MUSICAL TV SHOW w/ RAYMOND SCOTT     LUCKY STRIKE ADS XD46754</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This episode of "Your Hit Parade" popular music show dates to October 30 1954. The presentation is a kinescope, or a television signal that was recorded from a TV set onto 16mm film. The "Hit Parade" musical review show was sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes and Richard Hudnut Quick Home Permanent, and features advertisements for both products. At 13:21, golfer Sam Snead promotes Luckys. At :33, the animated Lucky Strike cigarettes sequence was created by special effects guru Ray Harryhausen. "Your Hit Parade" featured elaborate sets and choreography that was inspired both by Hollywood movies and "soundies" -- popular short film versions of popular songs. The show utilized a cast to perform the songs, as opposed to playing the versions then on the air. The "Your Hit Parade" program started out on radio before moving to television in 1950, and ran until 1959. The show presented seven top hit songs. This episode features Giselle Mackenzie, Roy Landman  / Snooky Lanson, Polly Bergen, and Russel Arms, as well as Raymond Scott and the Hit Parade Orchestra. (Some other singers on "Your Hit Parade" in this era often included Dorothy Collins, Eileen Wilson and June Valli.)  Songs include "Papa Loves Mambo" (00:02:43:11),"If I Give My Heart To You" (00:04:51:10), "That Old Black Magic" (00:07:20:08), "Count Your Blessings Instead Of Sheep" (00:09:35:04), "This Ole House" (00:13:32:17), "The High And The Mighty" (00:16:05:20), "Hey There" (00:19:02:14), "Gypsy In My Soul" (00:21:48:04) "I Need You Now" (00:25:17:05)

Part 2: https://youtu.be/Vw5AJQdW1Qw

Released in 1937 and directed by Elmer Clifton, "Assassin of Youth" is a famous B-picture about the ill effects of marijuana / cannabis. The plot of the movie centers on a ring of teens who smoke marijuana, who entice an innocent high school girl and lead her on the road to addiction and worse. Meanwhile, a reporter goes undercover as he tries to reveal the story of the gang and expose them for what they are -- dope fiends.

"Assassin of Youth" features a screenplay by Charles A. Browne from a story written by Leo McCarthy. The film is often compared to "Reefer Madness", and has many obvious similarities including sharing cast member Dorothy Short. The film's memorable title was taken from a Reader's Digest article written by the USA "drug czar" of that era, Harry J. Anslinger. The film stars Luana Walters as Joan Barry, Arthur Gardner as Art Brighton, Dorothy Short as Marjorie 'Marge' Barry, Earl Dwire as Henry 'Pop' Brady, Fern Emmett as Henrietta Frisbee, Henry Roquemore as Judge George Herbert, Fay McKenzie as Linda Clayton and Michael Owen as Jack Howard.

This silent footage from NASA shows a mock-up of a platform, with test subject astronauts in prototype spacesuits (likely A4-Hs, see below) conducting equipment assembly and mobility experiments.  Another film canister from the group it came was marked "OAP Metabolic Experiment." It's not 100% clear what the mock-up demonstrates but it probably is a full scale mock-up version of the Optical Astronomy Package aka OAP. The OAP was a modified version of the Goddard Experiment Package (designed to measure the ultraviolet spectral emittance of stars and nebulae) which could have been deployed on the lunar surface. As the reality of payload weight and space considerations took hold, large scale test items such as the OAP were discarded in favor of smaller experimental packages.

The spacesuits shown in use appear to be A4-H, created by Hamilton Standard and ILC Industries primarily for training in the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) prototypes in 1965. Here you can see the full range of motion the suits permit -- which included a fully seated position. For this reason the A4-H was known as a "mobility" suit.  NASA accepted delivery of twelve A4-Hs, but the broad, conical shoulder joints would not fit into the Apollo Command Module. According to a technical page about the suit, they contained a secondary bladder and restraint with a wrist cuff/dam and were used circa 1963-1965.

This 1977 film from Central Educational Films instructs on "Halloween Safety" for young trick-or-treaters. Likely filmed in a New Jersey suburban neighborhood, the film advises children and parents on safe costume construction and raises concerns about contamination of treats. (Poison candy and treat tampering is often considered an urban legend as few, if any, harmful incidents have been recorded. The 1982 Chicago Tylenol murders only added to the fear surrounding this issue.) Some of the children's costumes are offensive and/or outdated but are not narratively significant.

The Narcotic Educational Foundation of America presents (0:46)  “The Dangerous Drugs” (0:53), a 1956 anti-drug movie in which pre-presidential narrator Ronald Reagan examines the health risks and growing societal problem of barbiturate and amphetamine abuse. 

Drugs in dark bottles (1:48). Barbiturate pills processed in industrial machines (1:54). A lady purchases drugs from a pharmacy (1:58). A montage of women and men taking drugs with water (2:08). A man takes barbiturates at a party (3:12). He shares the pills with friends (3:51). They take the barbiturates with alcohol, increasing the stupor and intoxication (4:46).

A doctor (5:07) explains that barbiturate is a derivative of barbituric acid, and acts as a depressant on the central nervous system. They were prescribed to induce sleep, anesthesia, and as an anticonvulsant. A nurse prepares the drugs (5:35); a doctor writes out a prescription for a patient (6:03). But many people misuse drugs. An elderly woman consults a doctor (6:14). She suffers half-hidden anxieties and despair, leaning on the crutch of drugs. The doctor prescribes her barbiturates (6:43). 

At home, she struggles to put on clothes (7:05). She takes more pills (7:48), then collapses (8:30). A barbiturate overdose is often the result drug-induced forgetfulness. Many such deaths may be listed as suicides.
 
In the laboratory of Dr. Horace W. Magoun at the University of California Los Angeles, researchers use electroencephalography (EEG) to record brain waves, graphically revealing the difference in the activity of normal brains and of those impaired by barbiturates and amphetamines (8:59). Doctors Keith and Eva Killam (UCLA Departments of Pharmacology and Anatomy) place electrodes onto the scalp of their human subject (9:23). They also record the brain waves of a cat (9:43).

This 1955 color educational film from Coronet, produced in collaboration with educator Margaret Keysler Hill of the Reading Clinic at the State University of Iowa, takes a leisurely look at a father and son’s trip from a farm to a market to sell turkeys, in a soothing short aimed at young audiences whose understanding of the world around them is still taking shape (TRT: 10:13). The film was made roughly a year before President Eisenhower's campaign to install interstate highways nationally.

Opening titles: “A Coronet Film” (0:08). We meet Sammy and his father, farmers taking turkeys to market in a 1940s International KB series pickup truck. Mother waves goodbye to the flannel-clad father and his son (0:33). The truck drives a rural gravel road, with a silo visible in the background. The truck turns onto a paved road (1:12). Passing cars and trucks on a highway (1:50). A Standard gasoline truck in red, with a stencil, “Flammable” (2:22). Sammy’s father passes an auto carrier stacked with new automobiles. Passing trucks. Sammy points out a curve up ahead. Sammy’s father slows down, with a closeup on the speedometer. A 45mph curve sign (2:42). A motorcycle policeman stops the truck to notify the father of low tire air pressure (3:33). Propeller-driven airplanes sit idle in an airfield. A truck stop offers Mobil gasoline (4:12). Stopping the truck, the father gets out in a parking lot. A yellow truck marked, “Interstate Dispatch” parks nearby. The driver rubs Sammy’s head. A Chippewa Motor Freight refrigerator truck (4:34).

Intended to train German fighter pilots, this silent WWII gun camera film shows Luftwaffe kills of Allied bomber aircraft. Almost all German and Allied fighters carried 16mm cameras to record and verify kills, and help improve overall tactics. They were often processed in the field and screened within a short time, both by intelligence officers and by air crews. The "flashes" in the footage indicate the use of tracer ammunition. 

The film starts with a card at (:08) that says "Final Film # 804" -- obviously  one of a long series. The card at (:14) indicates "Original recordings from the war of fighter squadrons against bomber formations". At (:24), an airfield is seen with German aircraft in camouflaged revetments. A star shell or flare is fired and crews begin to scramble, at (:42) an FW-190 is started by hand crank. The planes take off at (:58). At (1:05), Oberleutnant (Flying Officer) Haala gun camera footage, flying an FW-190 against a "Jak 9" which is a Jakowlew Jak-9, Soviet fighter aircraft. With some research, it turns out that Haala's first name is Sigurd, he served in Jagdgeschwader x, JG 54, and he was awarded the Gold Cross in January of 1945.  This particular kill dates to July 21, 1944. Haala was shot down and became a POW, and apparently survived the war.  At (1:48), more footage of Haala engaging a Jak-9 on July 20, 1944. At (2:14), footage from Lt. Sterr of JG-54, also flying an FW-190, against a JL-2 -- most likely an Il-2 Sturmovik ground-attack aircraft. Sterr is very likely German ace Heinrich Sterr, credited with an astonishing 130 aerial victories predominantly claimed on the Eastern Front. Sterr received the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, the highest award in the German military during World War II.  Sterr was killed in action by USAAF fighters in November of 1944. At (2:43) gun camera footag...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ede3d540-2219-4033-ae6f-096489b50ef7/dc530f3d-1e3b-4648-9b65-e44f0f8f40da-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vnMKkvp6RsQanF1XtL4zgn</video:player_loc><video:duration>507</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T03:28:37.702Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6qqR3Ek7EmbmHvy3qLcJhM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dd25904b-6422-43be-b92c-1be64995db34.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" STORY OF CIVILIZATION:  THE OCEANS "  SWIMMING, FISHING, PANAMA CANAL, ATLANTIC CABLE    XD38664</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

“Wings for this Man” is a 1945 film produced by the U.S. Army Air Forces First Motion Picture Unit, narrated by a pre-presidential Ronald Reagan. It promotes and lauds the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black / African American military aviators in the U.S. armed forces, formed during World War II. They formed the 332nd Expeditionary Operations Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the U.S. Army Air Forces. 

The film opens with Bf-109s in the skies (0:25). These are enemy fighters, with the Balkenkreuz insignia of the Luftwaffe (0:28). They are met by American interceptors (0:34), P-47 Thunderbolts or "Jugs" (00:38). 

The pilots are black Americans (0:43). These are the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black fighter pilots of the then still racially segregated American military (0:51). 

Not so long ago, these men were students in a university (01:06). Future cadets board a train, each with a large sack (1:19). The steam trains head off to Tuskegee Institute (1:23). The famous Tuskegee Institute lies deep inside Alabama (1:31). Founded on July 4th of 1881, it has graduated many thousands into agriculture (1:44), science (1:46), and industry (1:47). This school was the first of its kind, founded by Booker T. Washington. His statue stands there (1:49), its base inscribed, “He lifted the veil of ignorance from his people and pointed the way to progress through education and industry” (2:02).

Nearby, the government built an airfield. Footage of the school (2:10), footage of the construction of the airfield (2:18) More than trees had to be cleared away. There was prejudice to be cleared away. Fighter planes fly overhead in a Vic formation (2:39). There are hangers, repair shops, and barracks (2:43). A concrete flight strip with landed planes (2:50).

This film is a collection of several partial episodes of Jim Hawthorne’s Funny World, a short comedy series that dates to 1960. Some of these shorts were used as interstitials in early television, when live shows might not be long enough to cover an hour. The show relied on amusing stock footage clips and Hawthorne's patented droll, gag-laced, dry narration. Segments include: elephants in the surf in 1930s Atlantic City taking a bath (:10), a Pelican receiving aid from a veteraniarian who retrieves dozens of items from its stomach, polar bears performing for a crowd (1:40) and drinking from a Coke bottle, dog sled race (2:30), competition barrel jumping by ice skaters (3:00), ridiculous early aircraft tries to take off (3:40), ostrich farm hijinks (4:00), early bicycles on parade including penny farthing type (5:00) , group wrestling match by soldiers or Marines (5:30), dentist works on a lion with a toothache (6:35), bizarre stunts with people gargling water or some sort of chemical (6:50), modern chicken farm (7:30), ridiculous parachute type umbrellas in use (8:00), big cat or lion licks its trainer (8:18), praying mantis battle for supremacy (9:00), chimpanzee eating dinner, leather helmet era football coach at work (9:35), at (9:54) is famous footage of two locomotives colliding, at (10:12) bicycles on parade, at (10:21) a miniature pony is shown, at (10:50) a man and his pet duck navigate a city, at (11:15 a pilot wrecks his plane, at (11:46) dogs are shown on parade, at (12:05) a trained seal plays the flute.

Dating to 1963, Castle Film's "Land of the Shamrock" is an idealized travelogue of Ireland, with highly romanticized narration. The film was sold for home viewing on a portable 16mm projector by the general public, who would buy them through camera shops or a catalog. The film opens in the Irish countryside, with flowers and sea visible (0:17). A woman in a skirt walks in a field with sheep (0:22). At 0:28, we see cliffs by the sea followed by a farmhouse with stone walls between fields. A man uses a horse-drawn till. A middle-aged woman on a country road follows behind cattle, tapping them with a stick. We zoom in on her serious expression (0:50). At 0:54, an Irish Traveller ("tinker," says narrator; an ethnic group also known as “Pavees” or “Mincéirs”) moves along a country road with wagon pulled behind; wagon packed with bags, belongings, and a small dog. Goats follow wagon man, and a woman passes on bicycle. At 1:07, we see a Traveller woman sitting, tending a small fire with a baby nearby in what might be a cardboard box. A man nearby reads the paper. We are introduced to “peat bogs” (1:17); a man digs a peat bog with shovel. Peat bricks are shown drying in rows (1:32–1:40), and a donkey carries baskets of peat bricks. Peat bricks fuel small fire where people warm their hands (1:48). We see an Irish landscape shot again (1:52), panning across, emphasizing rocky features / land’s rockiness. Cut to an urban scene: Cork, Ireland (2:04). Bikes and motor vehicles move down a main thoroughfare with landmark architecture visible, including a statue of a man. At 2:16, a man approaches a stone church with tall door. Shot pans up to reveal a single cathedral tower (2:30). We are shown an ancient Celtic cross (2:35) depicting Christ / Jesus and Saint Patrick on either side. A woman pays pilgrimage to Saint Patrick’s supposed ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4ab1e1a4-f236-4f1b-9992-9ecabf3f126d/70c9ec8a-4b4d-4f8a-a121-a26dddd3484c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/adYjxrG3kgPakEv6qzUatt</video:player_loc><video:duration>504</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T03:38:30.573Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mdp6DiiEtpAFCPiWYViLAy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/86e0ee1c-af03-45dd-9e5f-406d357b20dd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BF GOODRICH LIFESAVER RADIAL TIRE  1970s PROMO FILM   JC10154b</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This promotional piece for B.F. Goodrich's Lifesaver Radial tires shows the tires being put to the test on a desert track, including with half-inflated tires. At 15:08, a comparison between Polyglas tire stopping distance and Lifesaver Radials is shown. At 15:30 the Lifesaver's puncture-proof ability is shown, with the tire less likely to have a blow-out than Polyglas tires. At 7:30 police or highway patrol discuss the tire's ability to perform in a high speed chase. 

Goodrich Lifesaver Radial tires were produced in the early 1970s, and promoted heavily using ads featuring highway patrol. The ads placed an emphasis on the tire's durability, and claimed the tires had the ability to drive up to 50,000 "high speed" miles. The tires featured Dynacord Rayon belts which the company believed were more than 30% stronger than fiberglass. The rival Goodyear Polyglas tire was a bias-belted tire announced in 1967 by Goodyear. These fiberglass belt tires combined the characteristics of bias-ply and radial-ply tires and had a wider tread than most other tires on the market.

Synopsis: This is a Russian language educational film from 1979 on SILICON.   There are two parts, each about 9 minutes long, in color.
Film covers the origins of Silicon, its discovery by the Swedish chemist Jˆns Jacob Berzelius of Stockholm (1824). It contains many scenes of Silicon production and its use in various applications in science, industry, electronics and more.
Silicon is the seventh most abundant element in the universe and the second most abundant element in the earth's crust, after Oxygen.  Seaweed and animals absorb it from the water, and it   is one of the substances found in human skin and tissues, and is essential for healthy plants.
In recent years, the properties of free silicon began to be actively studied by physicists, biologists and chemists. 
 Pure silicon turned out to be an excellent semiconductor. it is widely used in the electronics industry, in computers and space technology.  Solar cells made of silicon semiconductors convert light energy into electrical energy.  They find uses in space exploration vehicles.
The study of silicon, the basis of the living world, opens up new perspectives for science.
The following is an index of key scenes in the film.

This silent footage shows the evacuation of German prisoners of war captured aboard the U-boat U-505, plus shots of the U-boat under tow. The locale appears to be in New York. The US Navy took 58 prisoners from U-505, three of them wounded. The crew were interned at Camp Ruston, near Ruston, Louisiana, with their existence being kept a secret so that the submarine had been sunk rather than captured could be preserved. After V-E Day, the boat was used to promote Bond sales as part of the "Mighty 7th" War Loan drive, and in June 1945, she visited New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. The last of the German captives returned home in 1947.

This TV commercial for Mego's glamour doll Candi -- with washable hair -- dates to 1979. The 19" Candi was designed to compete with the more popular Barbie, and came with two clothing collections. More importantly, her makeup could be changed and her hair color altered. The doll came with its own compact, "mask", and hairpins. A later "sparkle" model came with glitter and a Coppertone model was marketed for the suntan lotion company.

Dating to the late 1960s, these TV commercials for Salem Menthol Cigarettes asks viewers to imagine that the "country" branded cigarette produces a "springtime" feeling. The second ad features the tagline as a jingle: "You can take a Salem out of the country but you can't take the country out of Salem" with the added line  "Take a puff, it's springtime." These were the brand's original taglines following its introduction in 1956 by R.J. Reynolds; today the brand is owned by Imperial Tobacco Group. 

Salem's name  (and of course the Winston brand itself) derives from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the founding city of R.J. Reynolds. Unlike many other brands, Salem's formula uses special Asian menthol. 

HEALTH WARNING: Cigarettes KILL. Nicotine is ADDICTIVE. When inhaled, MENTHOL can reduce airway pain and irritation from cigarette smoke and suppress coughing, giving smokers the illusion of breathing more easily.

This episode of the documentary TV show "Discovery '68", hosted by Bill Owen and Virginia Gibson, takes place in Thailand. It provides a look at river-dwelling people and their way of life.  At 0:54, Bill Owen prefaces the show, speaking about Thailand. He and Virginia Gibson are in Bangkok, visiting the family of Suan Pudichat. At this time, it is the first meal of the day. People from Thailand typically only eat 2 meals a day -- breakfast and supper. In between those meals, a lot of snacks are eaten. The people of Thailand eat many different kinds of foods most of which are not found where you may live, such as rice and curry. Some members of the family go work in the city, while others work near the household. There are a lot of children in the house because all the family tries to stay together. Most of the work is done on the water, as the front of the house is right on a river. The children go to school by boat and return in the same manner. Boats are common transportation here. At 4:20, Bill Owen talks about the Buddhist monks and Buddhist religion. The family raises fruit trees:  papaya, coconut, mango, and bananas. Of course, all of this is brought to the market by boat. The family does not grow vegetables, so they buy daily from the vegetable boat. This idea is kind of like delivery services now. At this time, there are no refrigerators so meat and fish are bought daily. At 7:45, we see one of the boat vendors selling coffee to Suan. At 9:10, the floating market is shown. This is where the families get most of their local produce and make money sometimes. At 12:00 the Sunday market is shown, this market is much bigger than the normal floating market. Here, everything is sold from produce to animals. At 12:50, a bunch of exotic foods are shown. At 14:22, we look at one of the small sidewalk restaurants.

To test designs of new Apollo spacesuits, a large water tank was employed. This film shows SCUBA divers in the tank,  assisting a test subject in a spacesuit, negotiating a metal grid. The baseline of this test (for comparison) can be seen at https://youtu.be/BukwRH7KArs

The suit shown at 2:27, is an SPD-143 model, one of the first prototype spacesuits submitted by the International Latex Corporation to NASA. This model was part of the 1962 Apollo program suit competition. NASA called the suit an AX1-L (the designation "A" for the Apollo program, X for experimental, 1 for first in a series, and L for manufacturer ILC) or the "Modified Training and Evaluation Suit". The suit's peculiar look, with joints and connectors forming an exoskeleton, was to allow an assessment of these parts. Twenty SPD-143 suits were made for training and assessment, and used for early evaluations of the Lunar Excursion Module (later changed to Lunar Module) and the Command Module. Note that the  helmet shown lacks an eye protection sun visor.

This episode of Discovery '67 takes a look at the "new territories" of Hong Kong, at a time when Hong Kong was still under British mandate.  The episode features hosts Bill Owen and Virginia Gibson. The New Territories is a region of wetlands, parks and mountains in Hong Kong, north of Kowloon.

At 1:10 the show starts, with Bill Owen and Virginia Gibson on a Chinese junk in the harbor of Hong Kong. Part of Hong Kong is named “nine dragons” this is due to the nine mountains and it comes from the Chinese belief that there is a dragon inside every mountain. Hong Kong translates to "fragrant waters". At 2:00 the hosts speak about living in Hong Kong and the city itself. At 3:19 Hong Kong harbor. Some of the residents here live on the junks anchored in the harbor. At 5:50 the show moves away from the big city, and examines the small villages that make up the rest of the island. Here, rice and water buffalo are very common. The border between British Hong Kong and China is just a river, some of the banks are closer than others. At 7:05, Virginia Gibson and Bill Owen are in an ancient village called San Tin. This village is in the New Territories of Hong Kong, not in the Republic of China. In this village, there are 3500 people. All of the men have the same last name because they are all descendants of one person. At 9:20, Bill Owen talks about all the rice made in the New Territories. One of the only things not supplied by the village is a certain reed, which is used in the furniture and handbag factory in the village. At 12:30, the lives of men are discussed. Most of them separate from their families during the day and make money by working in restaurants and factories. This represents a break from a centuries-old tradition. At 14:20, Bill Owen talks about the markets in this village. Normally they sell fresh produce but so...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/035090ce-683b-4ba1-95ce-590492f8cf3b/fe2e3d16-10bc-4fd2-918d-206c80e1299c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1pJWaxTvQrRBPmJSCs4DZ6</video:player_loc><video:duration>1315</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T04:14:25.865Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kz7MR6AK86bro67HogqScu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/70af42bf-f88c-427b-9134-6a6fae7a60ac.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>TREASURE ISLE  GAME SHOW  TV COMMERCIAL  1967   JOHN BARTHOLOMEW TUCKER  ABC NETWORK XD31182a</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This episode of Discovery '69 is entitled “Taming the Killer Whale”. The episode explores how scientists and trainers are "taming" killer whales, turning them into attractions at various marine parks. The show features Bill Owen, and Virginia Gibson as host and hostess. At 1:12, the show starts in an empty arena at ABC's Marine World. The 22 foot long killer whale shown is named Kianu, meaning "Powerful Woman", 2:40. At 3:00, Bill Owen talks about how much is still unknown about the killer whale and lists some more facts. During this time, Bill Owen and Virginia Gibson take turns talking about various things killer whales do. Speaking of killer, did you know that if you hit the like button you will be a killer person? At 8:00, the killer whale shows off some of the tricks it can do. At 9:10, the trainer shows how quick the whale can learn by making it learn that bumping a ball has a reward of fish. The whale quickly notes this and remembers this fact. Kianu has also been able to roll over on her back and slap her tail on the water when hearing a clap  (10:25). Kianu has so much trust in humans that at 11:03 the trainer can even put his face on the killer whale's tongue. At 11:10, Kianu does a little show for all the spectators at ABC’s Marine world (now called Six Flags Discovery Kingdom). At 12:40, a special veterinarian for Kianu shows his routine. This involves bringing in ocean water, filtering it, adding chemicals to the water, and making it just the right temperature for Kianu. Someone checks the whale's water every four hours to make sure the amount of chlorine is correct. At 15:44 the killer whale is checked.

Kianu the killer whale was captured at Garden Bay, Pender Harbor, on April 26th, 1968. Kianu was moved to ABC’s Marine World. Later, after her podmate died,  Kianu was moved to Shirahama Adventure World in...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/afebc3df-4a9c-4f04-8861-b0d1204261b1/dda94f6f-9338-4965-b2dd-24bb054ee70c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nHXKDoUmworEJH3B9VetYv</video:player_loc><video:duration>1343</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T04:18:03.726Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uRyzt7UUK4StFr6jcMRdQG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ee3f0b1d-6e8b-422e-bab4-85fd868aa084.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DISCOVERY '70  TV EPISODE  "A TALE OF TWO FORTS"  FORT NIAGARA &amp; FORT GEORGE  WAR OF 1812  XD30662</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This episode of the television show “Discovery ‘70” is hosted by Bill Owen and Virginia Gibson. "A Tale of Two Forts” focuses on two important historic forts from the War of 1812, Fort Niagara and Fort George, which are located between the United States and Canada on the Niagara River. The episode contains re-enactments of the activities at the forts, a bitter battle for control of the Niagara River valley, and the Battle of Queenston Heights -- the first major battle of the war.  Fort Niagara was an important American post near the outlet of the Niagara River into Lake Ontario. During the early days of the war, it launched artillery fire against the British at Fort George on the other side of the river. On 27 May 1813, the Americans won the Battle of Fort George, and held the enemy fortification. Later that same year, after the burning of Newark and with American forces in disarray, the British advanced on Fort George, forcing the American garrison to abandon it. The artillery could not be withdrawn from Fort George and was thrown into the ditch surrounding the fort. The American garrison at Fort Niagara was then taken by surprise in a night assault by a select force of British regular infantry. Fort Niagara remained in British possession until the end of the war, until they relinquished it under the terms of the Treaty of Ghent. The War of 1812 was won by the British, and was the last military conflict between the two countries.

In 1812, the U.S. Army's Fort Niagara stood near the British Army's Fort George, in Canada. The introduction of the film begins with a re-enactment of U.S. soldiers in Revolutionary era dress advancing by canoei on the river at :12.  British Redcoat soldiers and cannons at Fort George.

Filmed by an unknown cameraman, this home movie footage shows soldiers on parade, and U.S. Marines of the 5th Division embarking on a ship, most likely heading off to WWII in the Pacific. The material at the head of the film apparently dates to 1943; the second portion of the film probably dates to 1944. Opening: Desert landscape. On a wide track that might be a parade ground, jeeps, Dodge Command Cars and trucks with soldiers on them move in formation as people watch (:08). Family members; a beautiful blonde woman poses with a hat (:53). Trucks of soldiers drive by the crowd; soldiers exit the trucks and walk (1:22).

This silent film shows tests of the General Electric Walking Truck, also known as the Cybernetic Walking Machine or "CAM". The footage dates to about 1965-69 and shows how the CAM could be used to pick up objects, move across uneven terrain, and even push or pull a large object (in this case a Jeep). 

The Walking Truck was a quadruped walking vehicle designed by G.E. engineer Ralph Mosher. The surviving prototype is now on display at the U.S. Army Transportation Museum in Fort Eustis, Virginia. Featuring a cab which could hold a human operator, the CAM weighed 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg) and could walk up to 5 miles per hour (8 km/h). According to Mosher, who also served as driver in many tests, the CAM was very taxing for operators to control, causing the program to never advance beyond the test phase. (Of course today quadruped robots like Big Dog and Quattroped are on the scene!)  Mosher also helped developed other interesting robots for G.E. including the ambitious Handyman remote anthropomorphic arm system (used in G.E. plants to handle dangerous or hazardous components) and the Hardiman powered exoskeleton. Handyman proved somewhat successful but the Hardiman, like the CAM, never went beyond the test phase due.

The CAM's design dates to 1962, when G.E.'s Ordinance Dept. in Pittsfield, Mass., undertook a study for the U.S. Army to examine how a "pedipulator" manned walking machine, with arms and legs, could operate where tractors might get stuck." It would be designed with 12-foot legs and travel at 35 mph. Engineers envisioned that machines like this would replace stretcher bearers on the battlefield and could also transport men and equipment on rough or muddy terrain.The limbs of the machine would follow the movements of the operator's limbs.

This episode of "Your Hit Parade" popular music show dates to October 16, 1954. The presentation is a kinescope, or a television signal that was recorded from a TV set onto 16mm film. The "Hit Parade" musical review show was sponsored by Lucky Strike cigarettes and Richard Hudnut Quick Home Permanent, and features advertisements for both products. At 13:21, golfer Sam Snead promotes Luckys. At :33, the animated Lucky Strike cigarettes sequence was created by special effects guru Ray Harryhausen. 

"Your Hit Parade" featured elaborate sets and choreography that was inspired both by Hollywood movies and "soundies" -- popular short film versions of popular songs. The show utilized a cast to perform the songs, as opposed to playing the versions then on the air. 

The "Your Hit Parade" program started out on radio before moving to television in 1950, and ran until 1959. The show presented seven top hit songs. This episode features Giselle Mackenzie, Roy Landman  / Snooky Lanson, Polly Bergen, and Russel Arms, as well as Raymond Scott and the Hit Parade Orchestra. (Some other singers on "Your Hit Parade" in this era often included Dorothy Collins, Eileen Wilson and June Valli.)  Songs include "This Old House", "The High and the Mighty", "Bugle Call Band" (orchestrated by Raymond Scott), "If I Give My Heart To You", "Mary Comes Home This Date", "Skokiaan", "Sh-Boom", "Mountain Greenery",  and #1 song of the week - "Hey There."

Castle Films presents “The Allure of France” (0:07), a 1964 film promoting the many varieties of holiday excitement that can be had in France, from alpine adventures, sunny beaches of the French Riviera, to the oft-romanticized nightlife of Paris. 

The film opens with sweeping views of the snowy French Alps (0:17); glaciers at 0:33. At 0:43, three climbers trek on with walking sticks and mountaineering equipment. Mont Blanc is nearly 16,000 feet high. One climber holds onto a rope, helping the climber behind him (1:02), the third not far behind. The first successful ascent to the summit was made in 1786 by a native of Chamonix. From 1:10 are intermittent close-up shots and long shots showing the climbers ascending steep slopes amidst breathtaking alpine grandeur. A climber stops momentarily to admire the glorious mountain range below him (1:58).

A steam train crosses a railway bridge, evergreen trees in the foreground (2:06). The white, overexposed faces of passengers are seen at 2:21.

Apartments in Cannes feature large balconies full of flowers (2:23). The camera pans over a busy beach crowded with beach parasols (2:39). There are “overdressed” ladies in full dress coats and hats (2:56), and a “barely dressed” woman in a bikini (3:01). 

Camera cuts to an aerial shot of Monaco, arriving on the Prince’s Palace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea (3:04). Monaco is the smallest sovereign principality in Europe, just over one half of a square mile in total area. A megayacht sits in the harbor at 3:16. It is the vessel of Monaco’s prince. At 3:21 the camera pans over a harbor full of smaller, nonroyal yachts. A Red Ensign flaps in the wind (3:27). A French flag waves over another beach at 3:36. From 3:47, sunbathers lie and sleep in the sun, as the narrator stutters comically over the sight of bikini-clad women.

This film depicts the MGM-5 Corporal Missile produced by the US Army in partnership with Caltech’s pioneering Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It was initially manufactured by Douglas Aircraft Company and was to be for use in Cold War hostilities. The film opens with an introduction provided by Leonard K. Firestone, President of the Rubber Company of California (:49). The missile’s story began in 1944 in Washington, DC (1:27). At the Pentagon (1:27), the Office Chief of Ordinance had authorized experimental work in applications of rocket propulsion to artillery range missiles. The program was to be put under the charge of Lieutenant General E. L. Cummings (1:51). The control and coordinator base for the missile projects stemmed from the Redstone arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama (2:04). This was under the charge of General Holger Toftoy (2:28) whom was a pioneer in the guided missile program (2:28) and one of the key men behind Operation Paperclip. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of technology served as a research and development agency (2:36). Scientific activities were headed by Dr. Bill Pickering (2:50), whom was an internationally known rocket scientist. Laboratories within Caltech conducted research and development functions for several years (2:58). Field testing was conducted at White Sands Proving Grounds in New Mexico (3:13). A missile is seen launched for one of these tests (3:51). The missile’s production began in 1951 as Gilfillan Brothers Incorporated manufactured guidance equipment (4:06). The Los Angeles Firestone Guided Missile Division produced the missile as well as the ground handling equipment for the Corporal Missile system (4:20). Some of the hundreds of engineers and scientists who comprised the development and production team are seen (4:27).

This particular aircraft was likely a Mark IV (VT196) which came to Canada in July 1953 for winterization trials, and this footage may date from that time frame. From January 1954 onwards this particular plane was used in developing the afterburner system for Canada’s Orenda engine. This enabled the aircraft to reach 20,000 feet in three minutes. VT196 went back to Britain in June 1955 where it was used in further experimental work until 1962.

.The Gloster Meteor was the first British jet fighter and the Allies' only operational jet aircraft during the Second World War. The Meteor's development was heavily reliant on its ground-breaking turbojet engines, pioneered by Sir Frank Whittle and his company, Power Jets Ltd. Development of the aircraft itself began in 1940, although work on the engines had been under way since 1936. The Meteor first flew in 1943 and commenced operations on 27 July 1944 with No. 616 Squadron RAF. Nicknamed the "Meatbox", the Meteor was not a sophisticated aircraft in its aerodynamics, but proved to be a successful combat fighter. Gloster's 1946 civil Meteor F.4 demonstrator G-AIDC was the first civilian-registered jet aircraft in the world.Several major variants of the Meteor incorporated technological advances during the 1940s and 1950s. Thousands of Meteors were built to fly with the RAF and other air forces and remained in use for several decades. The Meteor saw limited action in the Second World War. Meteors of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) fought in the Korean War. Several other operators such as Argentina, Egypt and Israel flew Meteors in later regional conflicts. Specialised variants of the Meteor were developed for use in photographic aerial reconnaissance and as night fighters.The Meteor was also used for research and development purposes and to break several aviation r...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f6c196f3-80c4-4d5a-afdf-3608e6b7ca97/fad1bcd6-5056-4f53-bc52-d77ddf847500-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wthMUfcEVsQtav1w2jXnEP</video:player_loc><video:duration>788</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T04:50:15.052Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t8hLpYYZW9yCkMY2U6Wg9w</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/180a53ce-1f06-426b-8c59-ecc21a63c2fb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Help us preserve more films -- become a MEMBER of PeriscopeFilm today!</video:title><video:description>Membership has its privileges -- including special emojis and prioritized responses to member comments on our videos!

Highlights of the aviation age, Chuck Yeager breaks the sound barrier at Muroc, California. On 14 October 1947, travelling 45,000 feet above the Mojave desert in California, Major Chuck Yeager of the United States Air Force broke the sound barrier. He was flying the Bell X-1, which had been dropped from a modified B-29 bomber at 26,000 feet, before sequentially opening the taps on the aircraft's four rockets.

Charles Elwood "Chuck" Yeager, born February 13, 1923, is a retired major general in the United States Air Force and noted test pilot. He was the first pilot to travel faster than sound (1947). Originally retiring in 1975 as a brigadier general, Yeager was promoted to major general on the Air Force's retired list in 2005 for his military achievements. His career began in World War II as a private in the United States Army Air Forces. After serving as an aircraft mechanic, in September 1942 he entered enlisted pilot training and upon graduation was promoted to the rank of flight officer (the World War II USAAF equivalent to warrant officer) and became a North American P-51 Mustang fighter pilot. After the war he became a test pilot of many kinds of aircraft and rocket planes. Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier on October 14, 1947, flying the experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1 at an altitude of 45,000 ft (13,700 m). Although Scott Crossfield was the first man to fly faster than Mach 2 in 1953, Yeager shortly thereafter set a new record of Mach 2.44.

Tracks include "Dreams of Old Hawaii" with the Aloha Islanders and Lani McIntire and his orchestra (:14), "Wiggles" featuring Napua Wood (3:12), and the "Hawaiian War Chant" starring Princess Momakai and the Hawaiian Ensemble (recorded 1942). Each production includes painted sets and plenty of hula skirt dancers. Napua Wood, incidentally, was born in Hawaii and worked as a Hollywood actress, appearing in the show Hawaiian Eye in 1959 and Family Affair in 1970. Lani McIntire was a Hawaiian guitar and steel guitar player who helped to popularize the instrument. His brothers were steel guitar legend Dick McIntire and bassist Al McIntire.

This collection of short films presents musical artists in 1930’s to the mid to late 1940’s during the Swing Era. It includes live performances as well as segments from various films, and the 1940s music videos known colloquially as "soundies". It features Glenn Miller in England during 1944, the East Side Kids, Amos Wilburn and Bing Crosby among others. It opens with a US Army film of Glenn Miller and various military bands performing in Wycombe Abbey in England in 1944 as the Second World War was taking place. An expanse of servicemen, including the US 8th Army Air Force, open the segment (:09). Glenn Miller introduces the show pointing to the involvement of the Boston Symphony, the Cleveland Orchestra as well as a group from Philadelphia (:27). Miller announces band leaders including Sergeant George Arkner (:40), the saxophone section head, Sergeant Hank Freeman (:47) as well as Sergeant Trigger Alpert (1:14). As the brass band finishes its number, a singing quintet joins onstage and performs ‘What Do You Do in the Infantry’ (1:57). After the singers take their seats (3:05), the brass section begins performing. A solo singing performance follows (3:25). The next segment features Jimmy Noone and his band performing in the East Side Kid’s feature film called ‘Block Busters’ from 1944. It opens with the main characters, Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall (4:12) peering out from under a curtain and crawling forward to enter a masquerade. After putting on masks, they enter to view a couple dancing in the center of the room and Jimmy Noone and his band playing excerpts from ‘Apex Blues’ and ‘Boogie Woogie’ (5:37). The film switches to a segment of ‘Rehearsal’ presented by Astor Pictures Corp featuring Fred Astaire (7:27). Fred Astaire and a female lead are seen pausing to watch an orchestra rehearse (7:45).

Universal Newsreel coverage of the resignation of Nikita Khrushchev. On 14 October 1964, the Presidium and the Central Committee each voted to accept Khrushchev's "voluntary" request to retire from his offices for reasons of "advanced age and ill health." Leonid Brezhnev was elected First Secretary, while Alexei Kosygin succeeded Khrushchev as premier. Khrushchev was deposed him largely due to his erratic and cantankerous behavior, regarded by the Communist Party as a tremendous embarrassment on the international stage. His failures included botched agricultural programs, the devastating quarrel with China, and the humiliating resolution of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, were the major factors in his downfall. Khrushchev's legacy included de-Stanlinization, building the Berlin Wall, and many achievements in space by the USSR.

This silent, rough-cut footage shows the manufacture, handling, quality control testing, and testing of shells — probably 105mm howitzer shells — for the U.S. Army. The manufacturer is not certain but the rolls of film and the shells themselves are marked "amatex", possibly indicating that the explosive being used is a form of amatol. It's also possible that "amatex" stands for the Longhorn Army Ammunition Plant, which was located in Karnack, Texas. Some highlights include howitzers and mobile artillery units firing shells (:26), aerial of the Pentagon, Washington D.C. (:44), checking shells for any signs of deterioration (1:20), shells being tested in exposure to low temperatures in a cold / arctic facility (2:58), mobile artillery (3:00), at (3:52) the unit is vibrated as part of the testing, close up of interior of shell (4:20), manufacture of explosives or shell lining (6:00), mixing of same (8:00) under pressure. At (9:23) raw materials are seen being processed by plant personnel, possibly asbestos.  At (11:04) shells are processed and prepared for filling which takes place at (13:19). At (18:00) shell threads are checked and depth of filling is checked. At (18:17) handling rings are secured. At (20:50), a split open casing is checked for flaws. At (21:56) stacks of shells are shown in storage in a revetment. At (23:25) a semi-tractor trailer arrives to carry shells. At (23:55) shells are shown stored outside on wooden racks and at (24:00) in arctic conditions. At (25:56) shells are x-rayed to check for flaws. At (27:30) ammunition is dropped from great heights as part of worthiness tests. At (29:53) shells are test fired on a special rig to measure velocity  and other features. At (30:00) results are analyzed in an instrumentation van on a Honeywell mainframe computer. The 1...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/97c6b06f-6109-4dc8-b1fb-46b8bbba8f74/65967d85-6485-4120-845a-bc0dab927a15-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jK2XZxBTy1w773M7i1dvnw</video:player_loc><video:duration>1877</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T05:09:51.125Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/u4e2yLK6CommY7s4da3B22</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1b603c06-f2ff-4796-b855-341319362ff7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MANUFACTURE, TESTING, QUALITY CONTROL 105mm HOWITZER SHELLS   U.S. ARMY FILM (SILENT) R2  JC10024</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

It was the standard U.S. light field howitzer in World War II and saw action in both the European and Pacific theaters. Entering production in 1941, it quickly gained a reputation for accuracy and a powerful punch. The M101A1 fires 105 mm high explosive (HE) semi-fixed ammunition and has a range of 12,330 yards (11,270 m), making it suitable for supporting infantry. The gun fired semi-fixed ammunition, with 105 mm Cartridge Case M14. The propelling charge consisted of a base charge and six increments, forming seven charges from 1 (the smallest) to 7 (the largest). Use of M1 HE rounds prepared for the 105 mm howitzer M3 (same projectile and cartridge, but different propelling charge) was authorized.HEAT M67 Shell was originally designed as fixed round, with Cartridge Case M14 type II. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e3332457-0db1-4f1b-a6d1-3fcb76e32347/93d6a06f-be7a-4c31-852a-ef5de3616000-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/u4e2yLK6CommY7s4da3B22</video:player_loc><video:duration>1476</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T05:18:05.984Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9cqPBGV45QQBaRP4Ur4u2o</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4f60c875-a2a3-483a-ae61-68c51d4111c6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1956 CALIFORNIA TRIP   DISNEYLAND,   MARINELAND, LOS ANGELES &amp; SOLVANG  HOME MOVIES XD46774</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This color film offers a time-capsule look at a family vacation to Southern California in the summer of 1956, including a trip to Disneyland (celebrating just over a year in operation) as well as other landmarks and tourist attractions of the region, including Mission Santa Inés,  Pea Soup Andersen’s, Wayfarers Chapel, Clifton's Cafeteria, and Marineland of the Pacific (TRT: 24:35). The Disney footage is especially interesting as it shows many original attractions (including the not-very-politically correct Plantation House and Aunt Jemima theme restaurant at New Orleans Square).

One of a series of aircraft identification films produced during WWII, this one profiles the JU-52. The intent of this type of film was to reduce friendly-fire incidents and increase kills of enemy aircraft; it would have been shown to both anti-aircraft teams and flight crews and fighter pilots.  In many cases the animation for these films was created by the Walt Disney Co. as part of their contribution to the war effort.  The Junkers Ju 52 (nicknamed Tante Ju ("Auntie Ju") and Iron Annie) was a German trimotor transport aircraft manufactured from 1932 to 1945. It saw both civilian and military service during the 1930s and 1940s. In a civilian role, it flew with over 12 air carriers including Swissair and Deutsche Luft Hansa as an airliner and freight hauler. In a military role, it flew with the Luftwaffe as a troop and cargo transport and briefly as a medium bomber. The Ju 52 continued in postwar service with military and civilian air fleets well into the 1980s.

Produced in 1967, this episode of the long-running children's television show "Discovery" focuses on the Asian elephants of Thailand. It features hosts Bill Owen and Virginia Gibson, who begin the episode by re-capping a previous episode which showed a visit to a family in Southern Thailand. At 1:55 host Bill Owen talks about how they are now in Northern Thailand. At 2:04 they are in the province of Lampang and they will be telling the story of two young families in Northern Thailand. The first family lives in a house between the town of Lampang and the village of Mungo. At 2:23 Virginia Gibson starts talking about how Northern Thailand is very different from Southern Thailand. “Here the people do not depend on rice, fruit, or vegetables,” says Virginia Gibson. In Northern Thailand, the huge teak trees and Asian elephants are crucial in the lives of the people that live there. The asian elephants are very common in Northern Thailand and are used to carry items that are needed. The first family we meet at 3:00 has been married for a year and their names are Neret and Urai. They live at the house earlier shown with their two month old baby Taperot. The other family actually lives in the teak forest at a lumber camp (3:32). We meet Moon, Mau, and their two and a half year old daughter. Moon lives in a lumber camp and can only be visited by his family for two days at a time. Then, Bill Owen goes on to talk about how a global organization helped Thailand a ton (3:56). Virginia Gibson then talks about this organization UNICEF(United Nations Children's Fund). There is a small UNICEF health center in the village, and it works to help the children and see if the water is ok to drink. At 5:10, Bill Owen talks about how the elephants help out, while an elephant is working on screen. The wood of the teak forest is used around the w...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/55dc2fbb-54b4-4a34-a4df-4f641d82e20f/365bf17a-a04c-43e7-ae89-5939057bc554-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bAWnVNHLwHDpoBEijHt7B2</video:player_loc><video:duration>1310</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T05:30:55.874Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fWx8tkgmdruRD8YdLysXGZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7d4a9338-95b4-4496-9fc4-eb60e6e25937.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>TOUCHDOWN THRILLS OF 1948  COLLEGE FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS  55634</video:title><video:description>Made for the home market, this "Sport Beams" film "Touchdown Thrills of 1948" was released by Official Films. Narrated by sportscaster Mel Allen, it features college football highlights including play by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Purdue,  North Carolina vs. Texas, Penn State vs. Pennsylvania, Southern Methodist vs. Texas, Army vs. Stanford, Harvard vs. Yale, and Notre Dame vs. Northwestern. Surprisingly, the film does not show Michigan or Clemson, both of which finished the 1948 college football season unbeaten and untied.  Notre Dame, second in the AP Poll, tied USC 14–14 at the end of the regular season, but did not participate in any bowl per university policy at the time. Northwestern beat California 20–14 in the Rose Bowl, and Clemson defeated Missouri by a point in the Gator Bowl.  Narrator Mel Allen was best known for his long tenure as the primary play-by-play announcer for the New York Yankees. During the peak of his career in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, Allen was arguably the most prominent member of his profession, his voice familiar to millions.

“Essentials of First Aid” was one of a series of films produced by The March of Time for The Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. The film demonstrates first aid basics. The title "The Bluejacket’s Manual" takes its name from a standard issue handbook for Navy personnel, first issued in 1902.

The film opens with a wide shot of a battleship. Shots of life aboard the ship, in the sleeping quarters. Various scenes from sick bay – an officer’s foot is being bandaged, an arm is being bandaged, surgery being performed. Transport 1:02.  Shots of an infirmary. Overhead view of a surgery. A sailor puts on a life jacket. Men wearing life jackets working on the side of the ship, attached to safety lines. A man uses a chipping hammer and injures his eyes. A doctor performs an eye exam. A taut line breaks. 2:15 Men working in the engine room. One of them faints from heat exhaustion and the other carries him away. Medical officers grab a stretcher and the man is carried to it. Closeup of a compartment with salt tablets, which a soldier takes before entering the engine room. 3:13 Officers put cotton in their ears and raise cannons. The cannons fire. Officers take cover, lying flat and face down, arms beneath their chest. A bomb explodes and an officer falls. 4:22 A diagram of different methods of carrying wounded officers. Officers demonstrate moving an injured man on a wire stretcher. Officers transfer a man from a small boat to a larger vessel in a stretcher. 5:28 Demonstration of a collar drag. 6:05 Demonstration of a blanket drag. 6:52 Demonstration of a one man lift and carry. 7:22 A brochure reads “Artificial Respiration – Gas Asphyxiation, Electric Shock, Drowning.” 7:27 A man crawls along a smoke-filled deck, head down, with a wet handkerchief against his nose and mouth.

This undated NASA footage is from the Apollo era, and shows zero G tests conducted aboard a reduced gravity aircraft, probably NASA's Convair C-131 Samaritan or possibly a  KC-135 aircraft. In the footage, test subjects -- some in flight helmets -- are shown in simulated weightless conditions. At 2:28, subjects perform simulated tasks, presumably to assess the ability of astronauts to perform similar tasks in space.

A reduced-gravity aircraft is a type of fixed-wing aircraft that provides brief near-weightless environments for training astronauts, conducting research and making gravity-free movie shots. The planes are sometimes called "vomit comet" because they can induce motion sickness for participants.

It begins with coverage of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's departure from the Philippines, Gen. Stillwell and Chiang Kai-shek in Burma, the famous Flying Tigers operating in China, an Allied convoy repelling an Axis attack, British planes bomb Paris, the British occupy Madagascar and the Battle of Midway in the Pacific. The Flying Tigers were a mercenary flying force from the USA, active prior to Pearl Harbor, after which they were co-opted into the US armed forces. The 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) of the Chinese Air Force in 1941--1942, nicknamed the Flying Tigers, was composed of pilots from the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC), Navy (USN), and Marine Corps (USMC), recruited under presidential authority and commanded by Claire Lee Chennault. The ground crew and headquarters staff were likewise mostly recruited from the U.S. military, along with some civilians.The group consisted of three fighter squadrons with about 20 aircraft each. It trained in Burma before the American entry into World War II with the mission of defending China against Japanese forces. Arguably, the group was a private military contractor, and for that reason the volunteers have sometimes been called mercenaries[citation needed]. The members of the group had lucrative contracts with salaries ranging from $250 a month for a mechanic to $750 for a squadron commander, roughly three times what they had been making in the U.S. forces.The Tigers' shark-faced fighters remain among the most recognizable of any individual combat aircraft and combat unit of World War II, and they demonstrated innovative tactical victories when the news in the U.S. was filled with little more than stories of defeat at the hands of the Japanese forces.Official Films was a home movie distributor founded by Leslie Winik in 1939 to produce educational shorts. Soon, after buying the Keystone Chaplin libra...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f3ef20f3-6a48-45b1-9ef3-e26ef9325958/95eab0a4-b250-454f-82c0-7600f5c37fbd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/w85tZAGhwEJwXqxG63349d</video:player_loc><video:duration>554</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T05:39:05.740Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uM5BkEgreWEZyqRt2mmcnx</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/27cde640-ce5b-4edf-89b8-ae4bc243f780.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GULF OIL  LONGFORM COMMERCIAL   WEST TEXAS OIL EXPLORATION &amp; PETROLEUM PIPELINES 56104</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This longform commercial for Gulf Oil presents sunset images of West Texas, west of Houston, and a romantic view of those who prospect for oil.  A veteran oil employee narrates. The film contains footage of bleak desert dunes (2:00), rattlesnakes, wolves (2:32), and so on. At 2:50, oil pumpjack is shown in operation. Oil moves to Rankin Station at 3:29, where electric pumps move the oil through pipelines at up to 700 lbs.of pressure.  At 4:08 the route of the pipeline is shown underground, thousands of miles across Texas towards Houston. 

Gulf Oil was a major global oil company from 1901 until March 15, 1985. The eighth-largest American manufacturing company in 1941 and the ninth-largest in 1979, Gulf Oil was one of the so-called Seven Sisters oil companies.

This film, PRINTING THE POSITIVE is a United States Training film that was intended to follows an instructional film on another topic --- developing the photographic negative. This film shows the equipment, techniques, and materials used to make black and white photographic prints. It limits the method of printing to the contact printing process. A contact print is made by placing a film negative directly on a piece of light-sensitive photo paper and making an exposure. A dedicated contact printer (light box type) was used to make all of the prints in the film. The common practice of enlarging prints was not discussed. The prints in the film were made using Kodak "AZO" paper. No longer manufactured, this was a paper specifically designed for contact printing.The film focuses on the fundamentals of photography (:17). Equally as important as taking the time and care to shoot the photograph, is the process in which it will be developed (:41). The darkroom should be entirely dark (:48) and safe light should be checked to ensure proper filter (1:02). Yellow lights are used for low sensitivity and orange for high. Clean rooms and trays prevent spotting and contamination (1:22). Materials should be kept within reach (1:29) and water supply should be tested for temperature (1:40). Three trays will be required; one for the developer, another for the rinse or short stop and third for the fixing bath (2:10). Solutions prepared with one part stock solution and two parts water must be readily available (2:32). The solution's temperature should be just above or below 68 degrees (3:04). Also, fixing bath and short stop must be prepared. For an acid short stop, 1.5 oz of acetic water is mixed with 32 oz of water (3:42). There are varying types of printing machines, one includes a lamp house to encl...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1ba919f1-584b-4fe6-8295-25002f0be5c6/3b1cd4b5-42c6-445c-a6aa-aecc2b6d68ee-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4q7dVbDcCpDLwQmECxLAoS</video:player_loc><video:duration>1120</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T05:42:49.736Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8cW3eHDuQn5wXj8NYFAPhK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1bda8fe8-346e-42bf-b44f-ae8ab4e8c545.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1953 HOME MOVIES U.S. NAVY SNOW COMPACTION RESEARCH &amp; PARADE FOR GEN.

Shot by an unknown amateur filmmaker, this 1953 color home movie offers rare footage of U.S Army snow compaction trials in Kapuskasing, Ontario Canada; a U.S. Navy expedition of the USS Tanner to the Canadian Arctic Archipelago / Greenland; and a ticker-tape parade in Manhattan for General Mark W. Clark, decorated veteran of three foreign wars (TRT: 27:21).  This footage dates from the time of a 1952-1953 study by the U.S. Army of snow, ice, and permafrost conditions in Kapuskasing, which analyzed an extensive series of snow compaction trials. This research informed the U.S. top secret 1960s “Project Iceworm” in Greenland, an ill-fated attempt to create underground nuclear weapons silos during the Cold War, the remains of which pose a continued ecological threat.

A snowy landscape dotted with trees, hills, and telephone poles in Kapuskasing, a town on the Kapuskasing River in the Cochrane District of Northern Ontario, Canada. A road stretches into the horizon. A sign: “Speed 30 Mils, Kapuskasing, Population 4,950.” Industrial buildings are visible in the background (0:08). A panorama of the smoky and slushy landscape reveals the Kapuskasing Inn (demolished in 2008), a water tower. A 1940s automobile approaches and passes (0:38). A military truck, apparently stuck in deep snow. The truck drives ahead freely. Men stand along the roadside (1:54). Continuous track heavy machinery. Tractors and excavators in a frosty field (2:24). A man mugs for the camera while lifting a wood beam from a pile (3:08). A makeshift lodging. A four-engined aircraft soars overhead (3:40). A man and his truck. Views from a moving vehicle (4:08). A barren landscape (4:33). The “Union Jack,” the Flag of the United Kingdom (5:04).

Dating to January of 1956, this kinescope reel -- a film record of a program shot with video or television cameras -- shows outtakes or rushes from a test shot at the DuMont Television Network. According to the clapperboard, the unknown drama shown here was directed by one of TV's most prolific directors John Peyser, whose career spanned four decades. We don't know the names of the actors involved but the male lead appears to be Carl Betz, who worked with Peyser on the 1956 drama "Appointment with Adventure."  It's unclear what the point of this test was, possibly just a rehearsal or to see how multiple television cameras could be used in a studio for live production, or for some other purpose. The DuMont Television Network was one of America's pioneer commercial television networks, rivaling NBC and CBS for the distinction of being first overall in the United States. Dumont ceased to exist as a network in August, 1956.

AFRIKA KORPS  80064</video:title><video:description>Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm  

Produced by the Army Film and Photographic Unit and the Royal Air Force Film Production Unit, this black-and-white film “Desert Victory,” explores the Battle for North Africa during World War II. The picture begins on a somber note, with a message at mark 00:23 that “in the making of this film four British cameramen were killed, seven were wounded, and six were captured by the enemy” and that “the scenes of Field Marshal Rommel and of Hitler were filmed by the Germans — but were captured by the British in the rapid advance.” It is dedicated to the “men of the Eight Army … who, on the 23rd October, 1942, left the holes they had scratched for themselves in the rock and sand of the desert and moved forward to destroy the myth of Rommel invincibility … and complete the liberation of the second Roman Empire overseas.”With that, the scene moves to a barren landscape at mark 01:30 and the reminder that “the western desert is a place fit only for war. Thousands of square miles of nothing but sand and stone.” Hot days, frigid night, sandstorms, and a lack of water all contribute to making life intolerable. “The Arabs say after five days of it, murder can be excused.”At mark 04:00, the film takes the viewer to El Alamein, where two decisive battles in 1942 had taken place. We are shown Field Marshal Claude Auchinleck, a British Army commander who was Commander-in-Chief of the Middle East theatre (but later relieved of command during the crucial Alamein campaign). The British are shown successfully defending their position from German artillery and fighters near mark 06:00, and at mark 07:00 are visited by Prime Minister Winston Churchill in August 1942. (The British Eighth Army had all but exhausted itself after the first battle of El Alamein in July 1942, and the visit was as much a morale boost for the troops as it was a review of Auchinleck, who was replaced as Commander-in-Chief Middle East Command by ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/37353914-491f-440d-ba57-894f55f18610/dec5319e-0de2-4a60-a384-f8b673b0b86b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7PpqqRxcN3JmK8iNrJ9QrE</video:player_loc><video:duration>3638</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T05:57:12.785Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6EztVGUtFGXcfXbGYLAP6Q</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f82758b2-4d1a-4230-9db3-cb7215c39518.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ITALY FALLS TO ALLIED FORCES / D-DAY INVASION OF EUROPE NEWSREEL 71042z</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Depicting events in 1943-44, this newsreel shows the Italian Front with British and American forces running a gauntlet of Nazi and Italian defenses on the way up "the boot", including the landings at Anzio.  Once Mussolini was deposed in July of 1943 chaos swept Rome and Italy dropped out of the conflict.  German forces continued their opposition.  As the newsreel shows, the unrelenting fury of the Allies could not force a substantial German retreat.  The surrender of Italian forces, especially the Italian Navy, had a substantial impact on the conflict and helped pave the way for the success of the 1944 D-Day landings in France. The Battle of Anzio, also known as Frontline of Anzio and Nettuno, took place on January 22, 1944, with the Allied amphibious landing known as Operation Shingle in the Italian Campaign against German forces in the area of Anzio and Nettuno (at the time joined in a single comune: Nettunia, Italy). The operation was commanded by American Major General John P. Lucas and was intended to outflank German forces of the Winter Line and enable an attack on Rome.The success of an amphibious landing at that location, in a basin consisting substantially of reclaimed marshland and surrounded by mountains, depended completely on the element of surprise and the swiftness with which the invaders could move relative to the reaction time of the defenders. Any delay could result in the occupation of the mountains by the defenders and the consequent entrapment of the invaders. Lieutenant General Mark Clark, commander of the U.S. Fifth Army, understood that risk, but Clark did not pass on his appreciation of the situation to his subordinate, General Lucas, who preferred to take time to entrench against an expected counterattack. The initial landing achieved complete surprise with no opposition and a jeep patrol ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2de0971b-09b1-4ea8-8bb3-07cbdd5947fe/30de64df-097f-403a-b8da-6344aca48ea5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6EztVGUtFGXcfXbGYLAP6Q</video:player_loc><video:duration>586</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T05:57:19.951Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1uDmKcrhfAwx1Ebz1rXkc1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/56af7cc1-d317-48f6-9d30-3a80350db18f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" BOSS OF THE BULLDOZERS "   1946 CATERPILLAR TRACTOR CO.

This black &amp; white educational/promotional film is about the medium Caterpillar tractors D6, D7, and D8 models, most often configured as bulldozers (but also sold in other versions). This is circa 1946. The D6 was also available in a military version classified as the SNL G152. The D6 started out in 1935 as the RD6, fitted with a 3-cylinder 45 hp D6600 engine. The RD6 was renamed D6 in 1937, and updated  in 1941 with a D4600 engine of 55 hp (drawbar) and in 1947, with a D318 engine of 66 hp. The D7 and D8 were first manufactured in 1938. 

Titles: Caterpillar Tractor Co. presents Boss of the Bulldozers (:06-:23). A truck drives a bulldozer down the street. A bulldozer is backed off a ramp onto the ground. The bulldozer drives through brush towards a tree. The bulldozer drives behind a truck across dirt, it then backs up quite quickly. A bulldozer, a D6, pushes muddy dirt over. A D8 angles down the dirt. Dirt is pushed down a hill (:24-2:49). A D7 pushes down trees. Brush and trees fall over. The bulldozer pushes the dirt with a force. The dirt is pushed into the fill. The bulldozer pushes giant dirt piles over with ease (2:50-4:13). The bulldozer pushes dirt and moves at a slight angle. A bulldozer is shown from behind leaving a clean path behind it. A pile of dirt and a tree log are pushed over to the side. Brush, dirt, and small trees are pushed over. The dirt is moved with ease as the blade slices through. A bulldozer goes down a slight hill, pushing tons of dirt over. The road is starting to take shape (4:14-6:16). A bulldozer pushes tons of earth down a hillside. Everything is pushed as the bulldozer pushes forward. The strong blade is well braced to push through and show its power. Dirt is pushed in a few directions and then a big tree is toppled.

This rare, internal use film shows remarks made by Captain J.E. Frankum, Vice President of TWA Trans-world Airlines. Unfortunately it does not show the entire conference given by various leaders of TWA, but only those of Frankum.  Frankum's remarks concern the 1964 employee profit plan and the intense growth of the company in 1960-64. 1964 was an outstanding year according to Frankum, the best year in the history of TWA, with a profit of $37 million dollars. Frankum also mentions that competitors are trying to duplicate TWA's success, and that 1965 will be "an even bigger challenge than 1964". "The biggest area for improvement at TWA is employee performance," Frankum notes, trying to rally his troops to the challenge ahead.  In1967, TWA became one of the US's first all-jet airlines with the retirement of their last propeller driven Lockheed L-749A Constellation and L-1649 Starliner cargo aircraft.  

Trans World Airlines (TWA) was a major American airline which operated from 1930 until 2001. In the 1960s the airline innovated by adding in-flight movies, doppler radar and the the spoke-hub distribution paradigm at its terminals.  TWA's innovations, coupled with expansion of its fleet, sent its stock from $7.5 per share in 1962 to $62 in 1965.  The airline became increasingly successful and vaulted to the #1 position among USA airlines.

This is newsreel footage from the late 1920s and early 1930s shows barnstormers performing aerial stunts, as well as footage of Amelia Earhart and a newsreel camera aircraft.

Amelia Mary Earhart was an American aviation pioneer and author. Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She received the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross for this record. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. Earhart joined the faculty of the Purdue University aviation department in 1935 as a visiting faculty member to counsel women on careers and help inspire others with her love for aviation. She was also a member of the National Woman's Party, and an early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment. During an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937 in a Purdue-funded Lockheed Model 10 Electra, Earhart disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. Fascination with her life, career and disappearance continues to this day.

EDUCATIONAL FILM MARYLAND  MD51964</video:title><video:description>DOWN THE POTOMAC is a 12 minute silent film, produced by the Edison Company in 1917. It depicts a traveler in a small boat, being pulled by a horse, along the historic Chesapeake &amp; Ohio Canal. The trip starts at its north-west terminus in Cumberland, Maryland, and heads 184 miles south east to Georgetown, Washington, D.C. The canal, completed in 1850, was in operation between 1831-1924, and was one of the last extant mule-hauled towpath canals built in the north east region of the fledgling United States. By the time the canal was completed, the parallel and efficient Baltimore &amp; Ohio Railroad, which could run trains 365 days per year, was also in operation, competing for business. The canal followed the beautiful Potomac River Valley, even to this day. Highlights of the trip include the passage through the Paw Paw Tunnel which today, can be hiked through on a wooden walkway built within in the tunnel. The passenger will go through lift locks, and pass both abandoned and in-service boats along the canal. The canal passed near Harpers Ferry, W.Va., but on the Maryland side of the Potomac River, and through Great Falls, Maryland ,a  piece of non-navigable river due to the sharp and high rocks located in the area. Finally, the trip ends in Georgetown, where traffic passed through the Potomac River. This film is significant for transportation historians and buffs since it shows the canal still in operation, as within a few years, a storm would finally damage much of the poorly maintained canal. Today, the canal is a National Park landmark, with several portions still watered with 19th century era interpreted boat rides. Work continues to this day with the restoration of the aqueducts, locks and the maintenance intensive Paw Paw Tunnel.                 Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

After the canal was no longer useful as a means of transportation, 60 miles of it was preserved as a park. The film contains rare and historic footage of the infrastructure of the canal including a canal boat graveyard (4:30), bridges built for mule teams to travel across, locks, and more. The film also has historic footage of the canal in operation with a mule team shown at 6:20, pulling a canal boat.The Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania Canal, more commonly called the Delaware Canal, runs parallel to the Delaware River from the Lehigh River at Easton (home of The National Canal Museum and terminal end of the Lehigh Canal) south to Bristol, as part of the solution to the United States' first energy crisis. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania built the Delaware canal to feed anthracite stone coal to energy-hungry Philadelphia as part of its transportation infrastructure building plan known as the Main Line of Public Works—a legislative initiative creating a collection of self-reinforcing internal improvements to commercial transportation capabilities.The Delaware Canal, like the Lehigh Canal, was primarily meant to carry the "fuel of choice" of the day, anthracite coal, and other bulk goods such as gravel and limestone, cement, and lumber—from northeastern Pennsylvania to Philadelphia. In reverse flow, the two canals carried manufactured goods, iron products and (a few decades later) steel products to the northeastern cities. The Delaware and Lehigh Canals also connected from Easton by ferry services across the Delaware River to New Jersey and the Delaware and Raritan Canal, connecting industrial loads to New York City.First opened in 1832, the Delaware Canal still has most of its original locks, aqueducts, and overflows.[3] Although the two canals reached their peak shipping in 1855, after which coal transport down the Leh...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b08cd73a-eed0-4c12-9721-021c5cb69024/baed4d67-7b26-4c09-92bf-fc17e524f3d3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nNt8awgKkJo9S341qR6HsC</video:player_loc><video:duration>728</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T06:31:10.031Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/94pHLS5fbUTvcVgu9oFhvm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7a6b16bc-f0ab-4068-93b4-b3402c4a5217.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>APOLLO PROGRAM ZERO GRAVITY SIMULATION ABOARD REDUCED GRAVITY AIRCRAFT AKA " VOMIT COMET " XD47284</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This undated NASA footage is from the Apollo era, and shows zero G tests conducted aboard a reduced gravity aircraft, probably NASA's Convair C-131 Samaritan or possibly a  KC-135 aircraft. In the footage, test subjects are shown moving large objects through a metal ring, probably simulating a docking collar or portal (note the "air tube" at the top of the collar). Footage at 5:34 shows subjects maneuvering a large object using a pole or tether for traction. 

A reduced-gravity aircraft is a type of fixed-wing aircraft that provides brief near-weightless environments for training astronauts, conducting research and making gravity-free movie shots. The planes are sometimes called "vomit comet" because they can induce motion sickness for participants.

The Keystone State is the subject of “Pennsylvania Land Of Decision.” Produced by the Pennsylvania Department of Commerce in the 1950s, we’re told in the color film’s opening seconds how the state has played a pivotal roll in the founding and continued success of the United States, from colonization and freedom of religion to the steel industry. Pennsylvania was the geographic key of the original 13 Colonies, and remains so as we look at the state’s seaports at mark 01:18. Every bend in the state offers a glimpse of history, it’s said at mark 03:10, and we see roadside markers detailing what took place in the area. The narrator provides a look at William Penn and the commonwealth’s past starting at mark 03:50 before looking at its current agricultural role. Mark 08:25 looks at the Ephrata Cloister, starting in the 18th Century by Conrad Beissel, and tour the site before learning of other religious movements that began in the state, including Quakers and Amish. We glimpse of the its small towns and cities as well as major metropolises, and learn of the state’s mining, steel, and industries. We learn more of the state’s history and view a marker on the site of the 1778 Battle of Wyoming (mark 18:00), Independence Hall, and see Washington Crossing the Delaware, the 1851 oil-on-canvas painting by German American artist Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze, on display at the United Methodist Church in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania (mark 18:25). At mark 19:09 we see Drake Well Park, home to Drake’s Folly —the  first modern oil well that was built and used in Titusville in 1859, and at mark 22:05 see an aerial view of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, “the nation’s first great super highway.” As the film comes to an end there are a number of scenic views as the narrator touts some of the valleys, forests, and lakes found in the state.

This historic newsreel, shot by Fox Movietone cameraman Eric Mayell, shows the so-called "Panay Incident" of December 12, 1937. The USS Panay was a U.S. Navy ship operating in Chinese waters to protect American interests including the Standard Oil concessions. During the Japanese assault on Nanking (now Nanjing), Panay was attacked by Japanese aircraft while she was anchored in the Yangtze River. Japan and the United States were not at war at the time. The Japanese claimed that they did not see the American flags painted on the deck of the gunboat, apologized, and paid an indemnity. Nevertheless, the attack and the subsequent Allison incident in Nanking caused U.S. opinion to turn against the Japanese. Fon Huffman, the last survivor of the incident, died in 2008.Two newsreel cameramen were on board the ship at the time of the attack: Universal News cameraman Norman Alley, and Movietone News’ Eric Mayell.  Both men were covering the on-going Japanese invasion of China in the mid-1930’s, and found themselves in the thick of things in early December of 1937 as Japanese forces moved on Nanking. The version of the newsreel which was released in the United States was censored by President Franklin Roosevelt, who felt that images of low-flying Japanese aircraft might further inflame the public. This version, which was apparently only seen by British audiences, includes footage of low level aircraft at 1:27, 1:54 and elsewhere, and shows what appears to be a Japanese army vessel at 3:00.  After the incident, Mayell continued to work in Japanese-occupied China, and for a short time was imprisoned by the Japanese after allegedly photographing Japanese positions near the blockaded British and French concessions in Tientsin.

This film presents the methods of modern transportation in comparison to methods of the past. It depicts the importance of various types of transportation for industry, travel and the growth of cities. It is a Coronet Film (:07) and opens with shots of a passenger plane (:30), a shipping harbor (:37), a railway and a modern highway with end of the 1950’s model automobiles (:53). Past methods of transportation were hindered by great distances or weather and people often had to rely on their own man power or that of animals (1:35) to get themselves and goods anywhere. A steel mill is shown which depends greatly on modern methods of transportation (2:03). Railroad cars full of coke (2:10) for the mill are shown as well as a nearby ship full of iron ore (2:14) as both are vital to the mill’s operation. These raw materials are often derived from locations far away (2:36) and the finished products must also be sent over great distances (2:36). Today these can be moved by train (2:48), by boat as modern shipping no longer relies on wind (2:56) or smaller loads can be sent by trucks over highways (3:15). When time is of the essence and distances are great, the best method is by air and a Flagship Airfrieghter is seen (3:27). For human use, children are seen loading onto a large yellow school bus as kids who live several miles from school can easily hop on a bus (3:51). A woman outside of a restaurant prepares for a travel trip (4:08) as modern methods of transportation have enhanced individual travel needs for business or pleasure. Large bus systems (4:22), personal cars (4:25), railways, which connect all major cities (4:33), or cruiser vessels and other ships can be utilized. Again however, when there is little time and great distances to travel, air methods are pointed to as the best (4:42). Simpler forms of transportation s...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f727d834-a3d6-4f4b-a4f4-4866a8ec0b37/80a19881-fa10-41d3-9a56-980ac2bbf4be-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ww9HxShnLv9m78JCZuXJHe</video:player_loc><video:duration>634</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T06:50:40.847Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/feLJpK4bC8wHdzcDJC829M</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e20f4e42-4fca-45d8-96d9-18018069227d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>AIR FORCE STORY VOL. 1 CHAPTER 7  THE AIR WAR STARTS   WWII  1939-1941  POLAND TO PEARL HARBOR 50724</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

This 1965 Encycloped Brittanica educational film focuses on the Santa Fe Trail; a 19th century route through central North America which connected Missouri and Santa Fe. A span of the area along this route opens the film which Native American tribes had inhabited in 1830 (:19). A herd of Buffalo grazes through the pasture and Native Americans had hunted them for their hides and their meat (:25). A character named Jessup Greg steers a wagon as he was making his third trip across the plane with his brother Adam (:44) to sell goods in Santa Fe. A map follows depicting the United States and Mexican territories in 1830 showing that Santa Fe at the time was still Mexican territory (:59). The Santa Fe trail began at Independence on the Missouri River (1:11) and the wagon route is zoomed in on which spanned 800 miles. Along the trail, there were few landmarks (2:20) or water sources and Native American tribes could be hostile (2:35). Jessup’s wagon gets stuck in a river while attempting to cross. Pockets of quicksand could cost the caravan horses and supplies (2:52). The Mexican flag flies in Santa Fe; (3:19) an isolated outpost in 1830. Santa Fe was founded by Spanish explorers and missionaries in 1610 (3:24). The area was controlled by the Royal Government in Madrid (3:30) while under Spanish rule and while under Mexican rule it was still considerable distance from the capitol of Mexico City (3:35). Characters Diego Montoya, his father and grandfather are introduced (3:52). His father is an Alcalde; a Mexican judge, and he asks the boy to bring his staff of justice (4:25) to Don Luis who was being summoned to the Alcalde. As Diego heads to fetch the man, he stops upon seeing the arrival of Jessup’s caravan and promptly turns to inform his father (5:23). As Adam pulls Diego inside of the wagon to show him their supplies of soa...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1e1a624e-8a5e-4a7b-a7ab-6a03bce3e183/2d8e9213-a7c9-4623-ad6d-8205d91e0089-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4HAQXENV4fHHxNP5oga2dg</video:player_loc><video:duration>1179</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T06:56:26.531Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aZBZugq68qY5NqDwrpZZen</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6613b94a-2c44-4c97-9317-0eb557a33587.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM WINGS TO GERMANY   1960s TRAVELOGUE  BERLIN   ROTHENBERG  RHINE VALLEY (LONG VERSION) 89224z</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Produced by Vision Associates for Pan American Airlines, the 1960s short film Wings To Germany promotes travel to Germany with the U.S. commercial airlines. A trip to Germany provides the traveler a trip full of history, culture, scenery, delicious food, city life, and more. Fly into Berlin (01:28), and visit the bustling streets with all they offer. Stop in at the Pan Am office (01:51) or visit famous coffee houses, such as Café Kranzler on Kurfurstendamm Street (02:16), which always provides excellent people watching. There is always something to see in Berlin, from a street performer with his eagle (02:42) to street artists, from fashion to food. Berlin’s pulse keeps going after the sun goes down. Don’t miss the numerous theatres and restaurants (03:00), including The Ritz (03:16), one of Berlin’s best restaurants. Go just outside Berlin to the Wannsee for sailing (04:17) and a lakeside lunch, then return to Germany’s capital city to visit the Berlin Museum (04:41) and the Old Kaiser Whilhelm Memorial Church (05:21) and modern namesake neighbor (05:33). In the city of Cologne, the Great Cathedral (06:23) towers above the square and is a must-see. From Cologne, journey down the Rhine River (07:27) in a Rhine Steamer, which offers incredible views of the river and countryside, churches, castles, and villages. Visit the riverside village of Sankt Goar (08:31) and experience the medieval castle Marksburg (08:47). Leave the Rhine at Koblenz (09:45), where you can enjoy a performance of the opera The Merry Widow before heading on to Rothenburg. On the way, stop at Frankfurt—or fly to the city (11:34)—and enjoy a comfortable stay at the Frankfurt Intercontinental Hotel (11:46). Continue on to Rothenburg along the autobahn (12:06), taking in rural Germany (12:28) with its old castles and buildings. Rothenburg (13:08) is a ro...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/50edd2bb-5539-4ea7-bf83-91bc5b490003/6926d7fa-293d-446c-b5fd-674cfbee329a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aZBZugq68qY5NqDwrpZZen</video:player_loc><video:duration>1655</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T07:00:38.027Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7N35nm4o6QwwcB4oFs9cUd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b8c3fab3-32df-4f0b-a4bc-de218d3fb925.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>RA5C VIGILANTE AIRCRAFT ABOARD THE USS RANGER VIETNAM ERA (SILENT FILM)  80354</video:title><video:description>This silent footage shot aboard USS Ranger (CVA 61) shows RA-5C Vigilante aircraft operating off Vietnam. The RA-5C was a reconnaissance variant of the Vigilante. 69 of the aircraft were built by North American, plus 20 were redesignated and 61 converted from earlier variants. Based on a slate (8:08), we believe this film dates to the week of May 6, 1968 and features Carrier Air Wing 2 (CARAIRWING TWO) CVW-2. It's unclear why the film was shot, but it might represent an operational test of the aircraft, which was the largest and fastest airplane to ever operate from an aircraft carrier.. At this time, USS Ranger had just completed a combat deployment at Yankee Station off the coast of South Vietnam. On May 5 (the day before this film was shot), the ship made a port of call at Hong Kong and then headed home. There followed a shipyard availability at Puget Sound that ended with Ranger's departure 29 July for San Francisco. Three months of leave, upkeep and training culminated in another WestPac deployment 26 October 1968 through 17 May 1969. Ranger departed Alameda on yet another WestPac deployment in December 1969 and remained so employed until 18 May 1970 at which time she returned to Alameda, arriving 1 June 1970.

The RA-5C was a Mach 2+ aircraft, capable of electromagnetic, optical, and electronic reconnaissance. It could operate at altitudes from sea level to above 50,000 feet. The Vigilante was employed to great effect by the 7th fleet during Carrier Air Wing operations in the Vietnam war. The two man crew flew in tandem in twin cockpits, the pilot in front, and the Reconnaissance Attack Navigator, in the rear. The RA-5C had the highest loss rate of any Navy aircraft deployed during the Vietnam War: twenty-three Vigilantes went down. The loss rate had nothing to do with the airplane itself but was the hazard of its primary mission; pre- and post-strike photography.

For most of its existence it was primarily a street-railway system, but in later years also operated rubber-tired vehicles. JTC operated trolley (tram) service in Johnstown from February 23, 1910 to June 11, 1960. Johnstown was one of the last small cities to abandon trolley service in the United States. It was also the smallest city to acquire a fleet of PCC cars and acquired trackless trolleys at a late date compared to larger transit properties. Many of the 1920s-era cars went directly to museums; however, none of the 17 PCC streetcars were saved. Efforts to sell the 16 then-surviving PCC cars intact were unsuc...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/991353ab-2b2e-4975-8762-780e0e0f57d9/e0352866-64a0-458b-909f-8d28d1a5f3f2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jUkHXa1WMdeWN6iBTRMZmn</video:player_loc><video:duration>555</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T07:09:23.749Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3Aj1VbARWBTJo2Wmzmr5rd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4a91e82d-c50f-4917-850a-1b2116b7d6ca.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THRILL DRIVER'S CHOICE "  1956 CHEVROLET PROMOTIONAL FILM w/ STUNT DRIVER JOIE CHITWOOD   87644z</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

One of the series of films produced by Jam Handy for Chevrolet, THRILL DRIVER'S CHOICE features thrill driver Joie Chitwood and his team putting 1956 Chevys through their paces as part of a "thrill show". The film also shows Chevy's in the showroom at the 1:20 mark, and indicates that Chitwood drives a "stock" Chevy (whether this is true or not we don't know!)George Rice Chitwood (April 14, 1912 – January 3, 1988), nicknamed "Joie", was an American racecar driver and businessman. He is best known as a daredevil in the Joie Chitwood Thrill Show.Born in Denison, Texas of Cherokee Indian ancestry, he was dubbed "Joie" by a track promoter and the name stuck.[citation needed]Chitwood started his racecar driving career in 1934 at a dirt track in Winfield, Kansas. From there, he began racing sprint cars. In 1939 and 1940 he won the AAA East Coast Sprint car championship. He switched to the CSRA and won its title in 1942. Between 1940 and 1950 he competed at the Indianapolis 500 seven times, finishing fifth on three different occasions. He was the first man ever to wear a safety belt at the Indy 500.Chitwood also operated the "Joie Chitwood Thrill Show", an exhibition of auto stunt driving that became so successful he gave up racing. Often called "Hell Drivers," he had five units that for more than forty years toured across North America thrilling audiences in large and small towns alike with their death-defying automobile stunts.His show was so popular, that in January 1967, the performance at the Islip Speedway, New York was broadcast on ABC television's Wide World of Sports.On May 13, 1978, Joie Chitwood Jr.(b.

This late 1940s/early 1950s travelogue advertises experiences visitors may enjoy at and around Niagara Falls. It opens with an aerial shot (0:15) and then closer views of the "cataract" (waterfall). Tourists observe from various angles. Cut to illustrated map (0:40) detailing U.S.–Canada borders, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. Shots of the river illustrate while the narrator explains the concept of increasingly forceful moving water approaching the cataract. Aerial and ground-level views of the narrow gorge beyond the cataract (1:03) are followed by wider shots of Lake Ontario (1:16). Another illustrated map appears: the American Northeast / Canadian southwest, with states, provinces, and key bodies of water marked (Atlantic Ocean; St. Lawrence River and Gulf). A diagram appears of the upper / lower falls with internal drop distances marked (1:33). Wide-angle and aerial shots of the falls (2:07–2:36) followed by the gorge (escarpment) (2:37). The narrator highlights geological features. We tour the surrounding landscape (2:50). The words "Niagara Power" appear onscreen (3:13). The narrator hails “the dawn of the electrical age" over footage of rapidly-moving water close to the cataract.

Tourists emerge from a train (3:48); some of these "carefree visitors" board horse-drawn buggies. A sign appears: "Niagara Reservation State Park; To the Falls" (4:00). We tour Prospect Point (4:06) and its lookout. At 4:20, the passenger-filled “excursion steamer” is in the gorge. A rainbow appears within the mist. Tourists take in the falls from below (4:29). We begin exploring other local recreation destinations, like Niagara Reservation State Park (4:44).

Shot by Fred McLeod between Montreal and Toronto, this film of the Canadian National Railroad in action dates to 1958. McLeod was something of a visionary, who recognized that the arrival of diesel locomotives meant that the days of steam were doomed. This film shows steam locomotives in operation pulling both freight and passenger trains in a variety of settings, and all in full color. Some of this material was later released by Blackhawk Films in b&amp;w. Mcleod was dogged in his pursuit, and was so obsessed with the feature known as Horseshoe Curve in Altoona that he filmed there on and off for three full years -- until the last of the steam engines retired. Although its difficult to see any of the numbers of the locomotives in the film, the one shown at 6:27 appears to be 6323, which is likely the Grand Trunk and Western Railroad's 4-8-4 (Northern) type steam locomotive built in the 1940s by the American Locomotive Company, and sister to 6325. The locomotive handled heavy passenger and freight work for the Grand Trunk Western. Engine 5253 is shown at 7:16.The Grand Trunk Railway (reporting mark GT) was a railway system that operated in the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario and in the American states of Connecticut, Maine, Michigan, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. The railway was operated from headquarters in Montreal, Quebec, with corporate headquarters in London, England (4 Warwick House Street). It cost an estimated $160 million to build. The Grand Trunk, its subsidiaries, and the Canadian Government Railways were precursors of today's Canadian National Railways. Nearing bankruptcy in 1919, the entire system was nationalized: the government me...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e5b366ba-d8c1-4b9d-87ab-dea5dc310abc/e5fef77b-592e-403e-abeb-5b521e7fb263-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/un8X8jbTS2GcDgGXEnzMSu</video:player_loc><video:duration>514</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T07:18:00.612Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qdUeovXLJKF3bJi8xNhYt8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ec629039-8488-49d7-8411-e1e67e76cfbb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE STUDEBAKER STORY   SOUTH BEND INDIANA AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER  1953 STARLIGHT COUPE  MD61364</video:title><video:description>Presented by the Studebaker Corporation and directed by Seymour Friedman, The Studebaker Story, Vol. 1 The First Hundred Years is a short 1953 film that gives viewers a quick look at the history of the Studebaker family and their rise from making wagons to producing quality automobiles. The film opens with illustrations of the development of the wheel, before cutting to a reenactment of the Studebaker brothers in 1852 South Bend, Indiana (01:34). Henry and Clement Studebaker work in their blacksmith shop as they talk to their first customer. The brothers secure a wheel on a wagon for another customer; later, they sketch out a new wagon design for the customer. The film shows the finished wagon with the Studebaker name painted on it. The film then shows a California gold rush town with a painted mountain backdrop (06:27). John Mohler Studebaker prepares to head back to South Bend. John tours Henry and Clement’s new wagon shop. Peter Studebaker and Clement present a contract they secured to make 100 wagons for the military. Illustrations show wagon trains heading west, and scenes from the Civil War, including the family’s wagon depot in St. Joseph, MO. The family sits around a formal dinner table (13:49), but they are interrupted as they realize their wagon factory is on fire. The brothers stand and talk about the future of the company with the smoldering ruins of the wagon factory behind them (14:47). The film shows an illustration of their new plant (17:40), which is apparently the largest transportation plant in the country. John Studebaker takes a ride in the first Studebaker automobile prototype with one of his employees (19:04). The two men then test-drive another prototype of the car. Illustrations are used to show viewers the new Studebaker gasoline automobiles (23:02).

Sid Davis Productions presents a movie warning against the dangers of drug use: “Seduction of the Innocent” (00:22). This classic 1961 anti-drug movie was produced with the cooperation of the Santa Monica Police Department (00:29).  The film's narrative uses the idea of the "slippery slope" of drug use, with the message being that the use of marijuana or other non-narcotic drugs can lead to heroin addiction. The film's protagonist starts recreational use of "reds", "pep pills", and marijuana, only to finally wind up on the streets working as a heroin-addict prostitute.

A woman writhes in agony on a thin mattress behind bars (00:44). This is America in the second half of the 20th century. The woman, Jeanette, is a slave by choice. A close-up shows her face and hair wet with sweat; eyes closed, teeth clenched in pain (00:56). 

Young adults swing dance by a swimming pool (1:01). A woman floats in the pool in a miniature boat. Jeanette changes the music at 1:11, and smiles as a shirtless young man approaches her. They begin slow dancing. Four teenagers enjoy a ride in an open 1957 Lincoln Premiere convertible (1:21). The young man offers Jeanette pills, but she passes (1:29). Her friend takes, washing it down with 7 Up, then gives one to her driving friend. Hesitant, Jeanette tries her first pill, with 7 Up (1;46). The teenagers snap their fingers to music (1:56). Jeanette and her new boyfriend, Mike, are asleep, still in the backseat (2:02). Money and pills exchange hands at 2:16. 

Three teenage girls stand chatting at a school (2:35). Distracted, Jeanette walks off alone. Her smile fades. She approaches Mike sitting with a paper bag (2:52). They look around at 2:57, before Mike shakes a few pills into Jeanette’s cupped hands. Schoolmates are walking about in the background. Jeanette shoots a glance to the side before t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/04af96c3-73ec-4022-a516-82236b57dbda/2073a136-02aa-4a39-a8f8-d50309dca58b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1zywtya59cerwkShe2QNr9</video:player_loc><video:duration>669</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T07:24:26.121Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/adRvsCFz2tCBdjLFM8MAvh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2380334e-eedf-487a-8100-4ec7014b57ca.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1937 INDIANAPOLIS 8MM HOME MOVIE   RAILROAD FAN TRIP  PACIFIC CLASS K-2 STEAM LOCOMOTIVE  XD14340</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This extraordinary, 1937 silent 8mm home movie depicts a rail fan trip. This took place in and around Indianapolis, Indiana aboard a the New York Central Railroad train. The steam locomotive featured is #4860, an Alco Schenectady, 1907, class K-2c 4-6-2 locomotive. This was a "Pacific" type, one of 418 built for the railroad by American Locomotive Co. The Class K-2s had 79" diameter drivers, 22" x 28" cylinders, a 200 psi boiler pressure and exerted 29,100 pounds of tractive effort.
The film includes a lot of interesting sights including passing train yards, railroad personnel, and a roundhouse turntable (TRT: 8:15). It's not clear what line is shown, possibly the tracks are part of the Chicago, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati circuit.

A trainyard with a railroad switch, splitting divergent tracks. A steam locomotive engine billowing smoke drives toward frame left, carrying a train of passenger cars (0:08). A pair of locomotive engines recede into the distance, trailing smoke. A brief shot of a fuel car, its bunker loaded with coal (0:27). A sign advertises the “Vagabond Special,” with blank space for a sponsor (0:46). Footage taken from out the window of a passenger train car shows passing electrical poles, trees, an engineer leaning out of the train engine’s cab ahead (0:50). A view from the train’s caboose shows passengers in silhouette, train tracks extending into the horizon in a mostly barren landscape. A coal silo, crossing signs and boxcars (1:09). A man’s forehead and windswept hair enter the frame. Passing modest wooden buildings, a grove of trees, another locomotive headed in the opposite direction. Coaling tower (1:38). The engineer waves as another oncoming engine approaches (1:54). A young woman watches the passing landscape from a passenger car’s window (2:34). Passing a train station, an engine, a tank car...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4aadaefb-04d0-4971-b9e2-2b60cba02ec2/68659d34-d479-4658-b3ed-fe506427d5c6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/adRvsCFz2tCBdjLFM8MAvh</video:player_loc><video:duration>602</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T07:25:11.368Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oqNR64Dms9AgijVAZuzfeD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a95d7667-c8d7-4a0f-9307-6b18f2d39358.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE UNION WITH A FUTURE"  1960s AFL-CIO CHEMICAL WORKERS UNION PROMO FILM JOHN F. KENNEDY 69084z</video:title><video:description>The Union With a Future in the Industry of the Future is a documentary produced by the International Chemical Workers Union.  The film outlines the union’s central purpose as well as its organizational structure and its productivity, emphasizing the union’s commitment to the future.  The film contains footage of then-President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson side by side with union head Walter Mitchell and other union representatives.  President Kennedy makes a speech promoting union ideals in America, describing unions as key for a bright future in 1960s America. (Note: it seems very likely that the remarks John F. Kennedy makes in the film are at least partially from a September 1960 speech he made at Atlantic City during his run for the presidency, when he was still a U.S. Senator. In that speech he appealed for Democratic leadership and addressed labor issues, including the effects of automation on employment.)The film opens with a montage showing various types of workers in the Chemical Workers Union, from assembly line workers to office workers, also showing a cross-sample of industry machines, from chemical manufacture to packaging and office filing.  Voice-over states, “You have a future with the chemical workers union—because the chemical workers, are on the go.  Top leaders of our country have recognized this fact.”  President Kennedy is shown at a union conference (01:31).  Union president Walter Mitchell reads a statement from Kennedy addressing the union in 1962.  A wide shot of the union conference hall reveals a nicely designed union banner with the words, "FORMULA FOR GROWTH AND STRENGTH" (03:14).The film transitions to a montage of various chemical union workers (03:20) leading into shots of the Union Headquarters in Akron Ohio (03:46).  Narrative voiceover continues throughout, with statements such as: “The chemical workers know that an informed member is a good member.“  The union newspaper is shown (04:21) along with s...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b59fc565-5df9-4aac-8203-5a41d2b7d197/b2c2e904-cbaf-45ec-9f01-3df4113caf12-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oqNR64Dms9AgijVAZuzfeD</video:player_loc><video:duration>776</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T07:27:14.060Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kFohccQv6jnMwk6bjtFdCN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/91f14fde-f929-4be0-9e28-721047262bc8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s CRACKER JACK TV COMMERCIAL w/ JACK GUILFORD   WITCHES BREW  XD31182b</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dating to the 1960s , this television commercial for Cracker Jacks features three witches brewing a special recipe -- to make a special treat!  "From an ancient family recipe!"  It features actor Jack Guilford (known for "Cocoon" and "Save the Tiger"). Cracker Jack consists of molasses-flavored, caramel-coated popcorn, and peanuts, well known for being packaged with a prize of trivial value inside. The Cracker Jack name and slogan, "The More You Eat The More You Want", were registered in 1896. Some food historians consider it the first junk food.

Note: this version of the film dates from 1953.  A revised version of the film can also be seen on our Youtube channel from the 1960s.Created in the year 1953 by the Shell Oil Company, "The Fossil Story" explains the importance of fossils to geologists who are searching for oil, and examines the role of paleontologists in interpreting the nature of the pre-historic world.   This film was one of a series created by Shell to educate the public about geology, oil exploration, and the petroleum industry in general in this period.

In this film, Shell Oil situates its extractive process as an episode within geologic time, naturalizing its products even as it inspires wonder. It contrasts the impatience of the suburban husband wanting to drive his car against the expansive scale of fossil history. According to Shell, with the drilling of oil, “The cycle is complete. Nature’s plan is quite perfect” – the question of where we might fall within such a purported cycle, and what nature may have in store for us, remains an open one. (TRT 18:38)

These three early musical short subjects (1929-1933) feature rare filmed performances by African American luminaries of the Jazz Age, including Besie Smith, Mills Blue Rhythm Band, and James P. Johnson, along with a full cast of otherwise underrepresented black talent. The films capture top performers in action along with some painful reminders of the limited roles available to entertainers of color in the early sound era (TRT: 36:17).

1) Bessie Smith in “St. Louis Blues” (1929). This two-reel short film starring the “Empress of the Blues” represents the only motion picture footage of Smith, and literally interprets the W.C. Handy standard composition in a rare recording not controlled by Columbia Records. The band features the great James P. Johnson on piano, Joe Smith on cornet, Bernard Addison on banjo and guitar, plus the Hall Johnson Choir with vocal harmonies. Opening titles: The “Mark of Merit” logo of “Sack Attractions” (aka Sack Amusement Enterprises), a San Antonio, Texas-based studio specializing in all-black “race films” 1937-1941 (0:07). “Produced at Gramercy Studio of RCA Photophone, Inc.

He and a female companion enter a bedroom (3:19). Bessie Smith appears, then bursts in on the couple, attacking her rival. She pleads with Jimmy to no avail (4:21). Smith drinks, then sings (7:00). She continues in a bar (7:25). An audience and band join (7:51). A dance break. Jimmy takes center stage (11:11). Bessie takes him back, but he cruelly robs her (13:00). (0:07-15:50).

This (somewhat incomplete) 1976 color film created by RCA instructs television salespeople on how to best make a case to customers for the ColorTrak line of XL-100 solid-state TV sets. The program’s hosts and interviewed sales representatives touch upon the appliance’s modular inner components and user-friendly ease of operations (TRT: 7:20)

Film begins abruptly. A host stands alongside an RCA wood-paneled television set, which is tuned to a football game. He paces past other RCA TV models as he addresses an audience of middle-aged men who sit in folding canvas and wood director’s chairs (0:07). Closeup on the exposed inner workings of a television’s rear panel. Circuit boards, wires, and the cone of a cathode ray tube (CRT) are visible inside the chassis. The host’s narration focuses on ease of service diagnosis and repair resulting from modular, separately accessible components (0:18). The chassis tilts down to offer a better view of the CRT (1:57). A medium shot of the sales representative men and women in training. Most wear ties and leather shoes with 1970s hairstyles. They sit under a bold red “RCA” logo (2:59). A veteran salesman, “Bob” offers his advice on working from the top of the product line down to bottom when demonstrating the technology being offered in relation to price. This psychological approach forces the customer to focus on the features lost on more cautious investments (3:19). Another man with a mustache counters that one must be careful not to put down the lower-priced sets too much along the way. The host makes a comparison to Cadillac Eldorado auto sales (3:48). A woman with red hair offers her advice: Lead with the ColorTrak’s “automatic” features. A man with glasses discusses “one-step” tuning (4:10). An African-American salesman notes that parents will appreciate that kids aren’t able to t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d6960d8f-12c2-4c6d-82b5-122cce8be3f2/7e19c607-b2b1-4d7e-87c4-669a8c1ac54c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/suTj77XjJaTFG2PbbTRJwE</video:player_loc><video:duration>441</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T07:43:28.980Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8ig3mLwZNP68Ror5TFFgoR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/78d8ca73-0cc2-4859-a405-7e32cbe686d5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s “SOUNDIES” REEL: LAMBETH WALK, SONGS OF THE SOUTH, “DINAH” w/ BOB HOWARD XD45374a</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This reel compiles 4 distinctly different short musical featurettes which touch variously on anti-fascism, racist minstrelsy, and underrepresented black performers of the 1940s (TRT: 20:00): 

1) “Schichlegruber - Doing the Lambeth Walk, Assisted by the Gestapo Hep-Cats” a 1942 short propaganda film by Charles A. Ridley of the UK Ministry of Information. This parody, an early “found footage” re-edit of Leni Riefenstahl's “Triumph of the Will” was re-mixed to make pompous Nazis appear foolish doing “The Lambeth Walk,” a contemporary dance craze reviled by the party as “Jewish mischief and animalistic hopping.” The title references the surname of Adolf Hitler’s grandmother Maria Schicklgruber.  The film was released in the U.S. by Leslie Winik, known for his “Sportsbeams” newsreels. Adolf Hitler appears to strike up a marching band and officers, who march forward and back in reverse motion, timed to music from the 1937 musical, “Me and My Girl” (0:25). A boy whistles, adoring audience members appear to cheer on the mockery, and goose stepping is continuously undercut by comical editing. (0:08-2:34).

2) “Castle Films Presents The Music Album: Songs of the South.” This compilation of “soundies” was released by Castle Films, a newsreel company turned distribution service for consumer prints of one-reel films. Soundies were 3-minute shorts shot on 35mm film and originally distributed for the Panoram, a 16mm looping “movie jukebox.” Selections include “Showboat Melodies with the Marshalls,” a troubling look into a bygone era of entertainment. A sign reads: “Tonight, Showboat Plantation Melodies.” A steam whistle, a riverboat. White performers lip sync Stephen Foster’s “Oh Susanna,” “Swanee.” Women wear bonnets and ruffled, anachronistic costumes (2:45). As “Camptown Races” begins, we see a particularly egregious example of “b...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3b18e243-94df-4010-bbd6-00970f6c9631/1acf9e38-44b4-4fd8-b11a-9eb067ffbe98-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8ig3mLwZNP68Ror5TFFgoR</video:player_loc><video:duration>1201</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T07:44:47.600Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/q3ikENqrAfqxSeEdC67pui</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cc872442-7482-4cad-bd39-a0c0d2288f60.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII SUBMARINE SURFACE OPERATIONS  PACIFIC THEATER  LIFEGUARD DUTY  PILOT RESCUE  XD31271</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This raw footage from WWII shows operations of U.S. Navy submarines in the Pacific, including images of boats on lifeguard duty during the American air bombardment of Japan. The film begins with shots of sampan or similar Japanese fishing vessels being strafed and sunk by the deck gun of a submarine. At 1:03 what appears to be an enemy survivor is brought on board the deck. At 1:30, a shirtless, bearded officer with a pipe in his mouth surveys the scene from the top of the conning tower. Another Japanese man, clinging to a piece of floating wreckage, is rescued at 2:03. At 2:29, an American airman is rescued from the water.  At 2:30, a large number of crew of the submarine is on deck, scanning for survivors. The small Japanese flags blowing in the breeze denote ships sunk by the sub. At 3;08, a submarine tender is shown.

Made during WWII to train Luftwaffe pilots and bomber crews, this silent film shows views of a typical port, with attention paid to the critical infrastructure. An elaborate model, with some mechanical parts, was created for the film. The initial part of the movie shows aerial views of different facilities including warehouses, coal storage facilities, cargo loading areas and dry docks and locks (whose operation is described at 2:45).  A card at :36 explains that the model was to be used to familiarize bomber crews with what port facilities look like from the air. At 3:00 the film shows locks and explains how they operate. At 5:18 the film discusses tides, noting the tides in London and Hamburg. At 6:18, coal loading and unloading facilities are identified,and at 7:53 live action shots of a coal chute are shown -- including railroad coal cars that are lifted high in the air so that coal can be dropped into bunkers. At 10:02, loading areas for general cargo are identified and at 10:23 warehouses.  At 10:32, again a model, miniature workers are shown in a warehouse. At 15:00, passenger ship loading areas are shown.

This 1963 color sponsored film produced by Detroit Michigan Jam Handy Pictures serves as a promotional tool for Bell &amp; Howell brand Specialist Filmosound Autoload 550 16mm motion picture projectors, offering a series of visual demonstrations. The 550, an early self-threading model that still used vacuum tube amplification, was produced from 1963-1969 before being modified with a transistor-based amplifier. Filmosounds were widely used in educational, business, and residential settings. The projector is often remembered for its turquoise fiberglass casing and well-intentioned, but often imperfect attempts at simplifying the film loading process (TRT: 7:47).

A view inside a working Bell &amp; Howell motion picture film projector reveals motors, wires, a fan belt, and other moving components in action. Closeup on the projection lens of a 16mm projector. Narration mentions the new standard 2” F/14 lens (0:07). In an illuminated set with empty chairs and a United States flag, the projector is displayed projecting an image of a windmill onto a portable tripod screen. Closeup on the windmill, with a boost in brightness (0:20). A closeup on the built-in, front-mounted speaker on the face of the projector. Another shot with the grating removed and the speaker cone visible (0:39). Exposed tubes and resistors inside the projector’s amplifier casing (0:46). An overhead view and a pan across a “large meeting room, seating up to 250 people,” illustrating the projector’s intended setup (on a project-o-stand) and range of throw (0:56). A rewind feature is demonstrated using a 400’ reel of 16mm film (1:18). A knob is turned, and automatic threading is demonstrated. The auto-load process is demonstrated, showing smooth threading of opaque white leader. Once threaded, the threading mechanism releases itself (1:41). “The lens mount swings out...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/825cea60-3b48-4e1e-9ff9-b12d42ffd664/8eeb2509-5220-4301-873f-985ef205bbaa-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/h6EUFFtR6rT8S8r7Zu58D7</video:player_loc><video:duration>468</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T07:48:15.929Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fq3x5igWLcLCcHSTgthuLd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/78aab879-a5e6-4188-adb1-2004d3143fc1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s DIAL ANTIBACTERIAL SOAP w/ AT7  TV COMMERCIAL  "DON'T YOU WISH EVERYONE DID"   XD38614g</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This 1960s TV commercial for Gold Dial Soap promotes the secret ingredient "AT7", -- actually hexachlorophene -- which protects against odor. "Don't You Wish Everyone Did" use Dial -- is the tagline.  Dial is manufactured by Henkel, and was the world's first antibacterial soap. It was originally developed by Armour and Co. and promised "round-the-clock" protection against odor.  AT7 or hexachlorophene, the active ingredient in Dial, was removed in the early 1970s amid reports that it caused neurological damage in infants. It was replaced with triclocarban, a synthetic antibacterial compound.

This TV commercial for Kent cigarettes dates to the 1960s and features a "British Invasion" type jingle, with images of a well-dressed, youthful couple enjoying a day out. Features the tagline "What a Good Time for a Kent". Kent is a brand of cigarettes manufactured by R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company. It is named after Herbert Kent, a former executive at Lorillard Tobacco Company. Kent was the first popular filtered cigarette, with 13 billion Kent cigarettes sold in its first four years on the market.  In the early 1950s, the Micronite filter in Kent cigarettes contained compressed carcinogenic blue asbestos, which may have contributed to the death of smokers through mesothelioma.

Cigarettes KILL. Nicotine is an ADDICTIVE CHEMICAL. Cigarettes cause CANCER.

The film features Bubbles the pilot whale, who died in 2016 at Sea World, which was her home after Marineland closed. Pilot whales, which have rounded heads and mouthlines that curve upward to resemble a smile, are part of the dolphin family and are smaller than orcas, or killer whales. Pilots live in pods of 20 or 90 animals, and are about as intelligent as dolphins. Weighing roughly 3,000 pounds (1,360kg) and measuring 15 feet (5m) long, Bubbles was considered the “grande dame” of SeaWorld. She was known for her ability to jump out of the water and spin at great speed. Her death in her mid-1950s, roughly ten years short of the average lifespan of a similar whale in the wild, rekindled calls by animal rights activists for Sea World to stop holding whales and other sea creatures in captivity.

Film begins at Marineland with a dolphin show. A dolphin jumps through hoops and into the air. People watch the festivities. A dog is in a boat with a tiny life jacket. Fish such as eels are examined  by spectators through glass. Seahorses, stingrays, sea turtles, small sharks (:17-1:50). A fishing boat from the Marineland fleet is shown out at sea, hoping to "capture whale for their circus". Dolphins are spotted at sea. A pilot whale pod is found. The men on the boat try and catch a whale in a net. They fail. They try again and this time it works, the net has caught a whale (1:51-3:08). A rubber raft is unrolled to create a floating dry dock. The boat heads back to the dock with the whale. Whale is covered with a wet blanket to prevent sunburn. The whale is placed into a tank at  Marineland.

Made in 1948 by the Monroe Auto Equipment Company, “Revolution in Pleasantville”, showcases the Monroe Hydraulic Implement Lift, which could turn a Willys “Universal Jeep” into a farm tractor. Barry Thomas, who also rescued this film and worked with Periscope Film to preserve it, researched the story behind it. The film was an outgrowth of two developments. First, the Willys company that emerged from WWII was threatened by the fact that surplus military jeeps were plentiful. It hoped to persuade farmers to buy a new product, a “Universal Jeep” that was much better suited to farming. (At the time only one in five American farmers owned a tractor or a pickup truck, so the opportunity seemed quite real.)  Second, the Monroe company (makers of the famous shock absorbers) had purchased the Newgren farm implement company. Monroe saw an opportunity to sell both hydraulic lifts and farm implements, and created a “Revolution in Farming” ad campaign to promote them. The film was produced by Wilding, features a script written by Harry Grabow and was directed by Lou Kramer.  The film begins with images of the Jeep in WWII and shows how a young man named Don fell in love with the military version and decided to buy a surplus one for use on his family farm (1:30). He’s met with frustration (2:15) as it won’t properly pull a plow. He visits a Willys-Overland dealer (2:18), who shows him a brand-new Universal four wheel drive Jeep.  At (2:51) the Monroe Hydraulic Lift is shown, as well as its design and operation. At (4:38) the Lift’s crucial ability to create down-pressure on a plow is shown. At (5:59) the Willys-Overland plant in Toledo, Ohio is shown with Universal Jeeps emerging from the assembly line, all with the NHL factory installed.  At 7:20, an instructor shows the control aspects of the MHL and sees various implements inclu...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b885280c-485c-4d6c-86dc-818bedb6279c/7a78b1af-1be7-476e-aed2-0c3aea4a155c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oMxS47sHz8hSzo4XhuaPTb</video:player_loc><video:duration>1487</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T08:16:38.735Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fCfAnk28nTcFThKLebTHCD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e77b67ce-8802-42f6-bd31-ec6b861b61d3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“BOOBYTRAP!” 1972 INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY   FREEWAY ENGINEERING &amp; DESIGN  XD37084</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This 1972 color film from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety presents cautionary advice on avoiding the perils of a number of common roadside obstacles, using real world examples from Towson County, Maryland’s Interstate Highway I-146. The audience for this film is not just drivers, but government agencies that are responsible for providing and maintaining a safe highway system, presumably to promote the installation of safety barriers and guardrails  (TRT 28:17).

A roadside sign: “Thank You for Driving Carefully” and a flashing title, “Boobytrap!” (0:08). Slow zooms on various roadside obstacles intercut with car crash photos and the same bold red title overlay. The montage intensifies (0:16). Our host Ben Kelly, a man in glasses, walks along a grassy expressway embankment. His address continues in closeup (1:10). Ben introduces a series of lethal roadside hazards: Bridge piers, signposts, trees, and rocks (2:12). Accident footage shot near Washington, D.C. by a Congressional staff team investigating road designs that encourage skidding. Cars drive on a wet road with their headlights on. One car veers into a ditch. A Volkswagen Beetle skids and spins wildly across a curving highway. Other cars follow suit (2:41). A highway exit ramp forks, and a car, caught off-guard, struggles onto a traffic island. Other erratic drivers follow, including a large truck. A trailer narrowly misses a bridge pier (3:17). Susan P. Baker, a Maryland faculty member of John Hopkins School of Hygiene and Mental Health speaks in an interview, pleading for a removal of roadside obstacles (4:46). Photos of traffic accidents involving trees and guardrails (5:49). A speeding 1950s style car skips over a road’s shoulder and comes to rest on an open patch of grass (6:16). Ben appears before a scale model of a “cloverleaf” highway interchange...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/766fb5be-64b8-4c82-b90a-dfb9f3064d49/7571761d-a41b-4879-bfdc-92bf0f154fb8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fCfAnk28nTcFThKLebTHCD</video:player_loc><video:duration>1697</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T08:17:31.676Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dxDVoBGPqubZkBdtAEGZ2h</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8f5971a1-a54b-4d40-ae96-972f454b057d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ DRUGS AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM ” 1972 ANTI-DRUG SCARE FILM     NARCOTICS &amp; DRUG ABUSE  XD43304</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This compilation reel of two early 1930s Vitaphone “Melody Master” musical featurettes and two 1941 “soundies” features an array of underrepresented black talent in short subjects that offer glimpses of performing talents Noble Sissle, Don Redman, Fats Waller and others (TRT: 27:34).

1) “Vitaphone Presents Noble Sissle &amp; Band in That’s The Spirit, with Cora La Reed, the Washboard Serenaders, Miller &amp; Moreland, Directed by Roy Mack, Photography by E.B. DuPar, 1932.” Comedic actors Flournoy Miller and Mantan Moreland appear as night watchmen for a pawnshop, with Miller in blackface, an offensive tradition of theatrical makeup used primarily (but not exclusively) by non-black performers to caricature black people (0:28). Miller was known for scripting the Broadway hit “Shuffle Along” which featured the music of Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake. Moreland got his start as Miller’s vaudeville understudy and is remembered for his appearances in low budget “race movies,” plus Dick Tracy and Three Stooges shorts. The duo enters the pawnshop to find it haunted by a talking clock, a possessed rocking chair, and a miniature of Sissle’s orchestra. A medley of “St. Louis Blues, Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen, I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” (2:26). Sissle dances (4:12).

This 1969 color sponsored film for Champion brand spark plugs produced by Portafilms uses actors portraying a "boss" engineer and a "nerdy" secretary (in fairly stereotypical, sexist roles) as they review the film itself. In this meta exercise, they discuss the process of testing spark plugs, and enumerate the advantages of the Champion brand over its competition (TRT: 28:45).  

Animated opening titles: “Champion Presents a Plug for Performance” (0:10). A man wearing a suit and glasses uses an 8mm film projector. Animation shows spark plugs dancing erratically in stop-motion. A red heart envelops a spark plug. The man looks nonplussed (0:26). Animation illustrates two blue wires coming together, with an asterisk-shaped spark. An “explosion” (0:48). Montage: A racetrack, trucks, recreational motorboats, cars in bumper-to-bumper traffic. The man switches off the projector in frustration (0:57). A blonde woman in glasses types at an electric typewriter, pencils in a correction. Acting as a secretary, she approaches the man, who represents engineering. She takes dictation (1:08). Animated spark show design evolution (2:34). The man takes a “male gaze” at the secretary. She removes her glasses. A jump cut shows her with a more glamorous hairdo. Befuddled, the man returns to the projector (3:14). Riverside International Raceway in fast-motion, from a car’s POV. Red Chevy Checker taxicabs test fuel economy. A pit stop. Testing a battery with a multimeter. A pit crew at work. A banner, “An Untuned Car is Trouble.” A fuel container, an automatic throttle control, and a photoelectric cell are installed (3:25). Fuel is measured, poured. The photocell passes a light on the starting line. A reel of magnetic tape triggers the throttle. A driver steers the cab (4:05). A fifth wheel measures distance on an odometer (4:43).

This color film showcases the 1959 National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Nationals at the Detroit Dragway, focusing on the Masters Dragmaster racing team as they travel from California to compete against “hot rodders” from across the country. After meeting up with the Dragliner racing team, the caravan stops to compete in Oklahoma before arriving in Michigan. You’ll see dozens of classic hot rods, exciting races, and hundreds of men with flat top haircuts. Written by Haile Chace, directed by Sid Davis and Haile Chace, a Sid Davis production presented by Hot Rod Magazine.

Hot rods are typically old, classic, or modern American cars that have been rebuilt or modified with large engines for more speed and acceleration. Most often they are individually designed and constructed using components from many makes of old or new cars. 

The NHRA, founded by Wally Parks in 1951, is a drag racing governing body which sets rules in drag racing and hosts events all over the United States and Canada. NHRA's first Nationals was held in 1955, in Great Bend, Kansas. The NHRA U.S. Nationals are now held at Lucas Oil Raceway in Brownsburg, Indiana.

This 1956 British Technicolor animated film directed by Philip Stapp and produced by Halas &amp; Batchelor for the World Health Organization uses cartoons rendered in a mid century modern style to address the issue of alcoholism through metaphor, caricature, and abstraction (TRT: 10:17).

Distributor title card: “This film has been provided as an educational service by the Michigan State Board of Alcoholism” Opening titles. “The World Health Organization Presents, To Your Health, Color by Technicolor, a film by Philip Stapp.” Credits continue: “Supervised by Professor E.M. Jellinek, Music by Matyas Seiber, Animation by Brian Borthwick and John Smith, a Halas and Batchelor Cartoon” (0:09). Animation begins: A starscape traces an outline of an international everyman, toasting a drink. A constellation of bottled drinks follows. “John” becomes tipsy and clumsy at a part, then floats out the door, soaring into a pink sky (0:48). John falls back down to earth, hungover. A stereotypical lady prohibitionist speaks out, followed by an advertising pitch man, a snooty academic, and a bespectacled intellectual. John wishes he could have unbiased facts. A doctor approaches him (1:45). A trio of doctors in a laboratory examine beakers of colored liquid with microscopes. Illustrations of grain, grapes, resulting beverages with ratios of ethyl alcohol indicated in yellow (2:24). Yellow lines trail into an illustration of a stomach, spreading out across a cutaway drawing of a man’s body. Cells are enveloped in alcohol. The liver transforms the substance through oxidation (2:58). Drunkenness is explained via an animated illustration of the brain, represented with humanoid figures in a “control center.” Reasoning, inhibition, memory, vision, hearing, and coordination are represented.

This anti-drug film from 1971 attempts to debunk anecdotal arguments made in support of the drug LSD (Lysergic acid diethylamide) and other psychedelic drugs. Hosted by singer-songwriter Tommy Roe (best known for his hits “Sheila” and “Dizzy”), the film features teens having scripted conversations about their opinions and experiences with psychedelic drugs. The conversations are first shown truncated, leaving the viewer to believe that what is being said is declarative or empirical, but then the same footage is later shown in its entirety, revealing that the opinions beings expressed are unfounded or incomplete. Based on the locations seen and referenced, and the accents of the teens speaking, this film was shot in and around New York City. Narrated by Tommy Roe, Executive produced and written by Max Miller, produced and directed by Noel Nosseck, an Avanti/Directions Unltd. Production, presented by American Educational Film, 1971.

Psychedelics are a subset of hallucinogenic drugs whose primary effect is to trigger non-ordinary states of consciousness (known as psychedelic experiences or "trips") This causes specific psychological, visual and auditory changes, and often a substantially altered state of consciousness. The "Classical" psychedelics, the psychedelics with the largest scientific and cultural influence, are mescaline, LSD, psilocybin, and DMT. The psychedelic experience is often compared to non-ordinary forms of consciousness such as those experienced in meditation, mystical experiences, and near-death experiences. The phenomenon of ego dissolution is often described as a key feature of the psychedelic experience. Many psychedelic drugs are illegal worldwide, with occasional exceptions for religious use or research contexts. Despite these controls, recreational use of psychedelics is common.

Created at the height of the hippie / free love era, when drug experimentation by youth began to take on the appearance of an epidemic, "Drug Abuse: The Chemical Tomb" was created by Alan Kishbaugh.  This anti-drug film from 1969 offers an overview and warning on the kinds of illegal drugs available to the youth of America, while also urging that young people avoid drugs to better engender the social change society needs. Despite its semi-progressive message, you’ll see lots of staged scenes of teenagers and young people engaging in drug use, buying drugs, experiencing drugs (one girl’s “trip” offers perhaps the lamest psychedelic imagery ever captured on film), and facing the consequences of drug use. Produced by Film Distributors International, written and directed by Alan Kishbaugh, executive produced by Kenneth Holst, narrated by Chuck Bowman.

This 1951 black and white film from the University of Chicago Advisory Committee self-reflexively explores the evolving role of classroom 16mm films in the field of education, using montage to raise awareness of audiovisual resources available to educators (TRT 19:20). The film script also makes a case that films can provide a vital edge in the Cold War, first be reinforcing American values, and also by providing a high-tech type advantage to students that other nations may not be able to provide. (Note: it's not clear whether this film was sponsored by Bell &amp; Howell, but the company's headquarters was in Chicago, and the film in many ways seems like a sales pitch for B&amp;H products.)

This early Zenith color TV ad dates to the 1960s and promotes the AFC, automatic fine tuning control that is so easy "you can use it blindfolded" even on those "new UHF channels".  "The quality goes in before the name goes on." 

Zenith was co-founded by Ralph Matthews and Karl Hassel in Chicago, Illinois, as Chicago Radio Labs in 1918 as a small producer of amateur radio equipment. The name "Zenith" came from ZN'th, a contraction of its founders' ham radio call sign, 9ZN.  The first Zenith television set was sold to the public in 1948. The first national color broadcast occurred on January 1, 1954, but over the next dozen years most network broadcasts, and nearly all local programming, continued to be in black-and-white.

This black and white film tells the history of the Executive Mansion of the United States, the White House, and was likely made in the early 1960’s. Starting with its construction in 1800, we’re lead through some of the highlights of the Presidents and their families who lived there up through the 35th President, John F. Kennedy. Though bookended with footage of Washington D.C. and the White House interior, the majority (beginning at 03:33) the majority of this film is composed of still images of paintings, drawings, and photographs. Written by Amy L. Jansen, narrated by Phil Tonken, music by Filmsounds, Inc. A Jensen Production, Sterling Educational Film Release.

The White House is the official residence and workplace of the President of the United States. It is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., and has been the residence of every US president since John Adams in 1800. The residence was designed by Irish-born architect James Hoban in the neoclassical style and construction began in 1792. In 1814, during the War of 1812, the mansion was set ablaze by the British Army in the Burning of Washington, destroying the interior and charring much of the exterior. Reconstruction began almost immediately, and President James Monroe moved into the partially reconstructed Executive Residence in October 1817. Because of crowding within the Executive Mansion itself, President Theodore Roosevelt had all work offices relocated to the newly constructed West Wing in 1901. By 1948, the residence's load-bearing exterior walls and internal wood beams were found to be close to failure. Under Harry S. Truman, the interior rooms were completely dismantled and a new internal load-bearing steel frame constructed inside the walls. Once the structural work was completed, the interior rooms were rebuilt.

These silent black and white home movies dated 1926-1928 from Arthur A. Friestedt and family feature a tour of their business, the United States Music Company factory. U.S. Music was a leading publisher of sheet music and player piano rolls.  The U.S. Music Co. was established in 1905. In 1926, around the time of this footage, the company was sold to radio tube manufacturer QRS. It went bankrupt, a victim of the Great Depression. Also on this film (and a sister reel at https://youtu.be/vu2A-AlaoPo) is an Arizona road trip, a visit to Havana, Cuba, a tour of Minnesota, damage from the Rockford, Illinois Tornado of 1928, a Chicago family reunion, and San Diego, California (TRT 1:03:40)

This color film documents the twenty-fifth running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans sports car race on June 22 and 23, 1957, in La Mans, France. We’re treated to a front row seat of the action as cars vie for first place in this grueling race, ultimately won by the Ecurie Ecosse team of Ron Flockhart and Ivor Bueb driving the #3 car, a Jaguar D-Type. You’ll not only see the race but the fair and carnival rides that entertain spectators away from the track. Directed by Henri Champetier and Carlos Vilardebó. A production of Société Nouvelle Pathé Cinéma and British Petroleum.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the world's oldest active sports car race in endurance racing, held annually since 1923. It is considered one of the most prestigious automobile races in the world and has been called the "Grand Prix of Endurance and Efficiency.” The event represents one leg of the Triple Crown of Motorsport, with the other events being the Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Grand Prix. Unlike fixed-distance races whose winner is determined by minimum time, the 24 Hours of Le Mans is won by the car that covers the greatest distance in 24 hours. Racing teams must balance the demands of speed with the cars' ability to run for 24 hours without mechanical failure.

Filmed in Dresden, Germany in the 1930s, this educational film was intended to show children the importance of saving money -- in this case to buy a bicycle.  The film has some interesting images of Dresden prior to WWII, and has images of children in the uniforms of the Hitler Youth.  The Hitler Youth was the youth organization of the Nazi Party in Germany. Its origins dated back to 1922. From 1933 until 1945, it was the sole official youth organization in Germany and was partially a paramilitary organization; it was constituted of the Hitlerjugend proper for male youth aged 14 to 18, the Deutsches Jungvolk (German Youth) for younger boys, and the League of German Girls.The members of the Hitler Youth were viewed as future "Aryan supermen"[citation needed] and were indoctrinated into racism. One aim was to instill the motivation that would enable its members as soldiers, to fight faithfully for the Third Reich. There was more emphasis on physical and military training than on academic study. The Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund für Leibesübungen (NSRBL), the umbrella organization promoting and coordinating sport activities in Germany during the Nazi era, had the responsibility of overseeing the physical fitness development programs provided to the German youth.The Hitler Youth were used to break up Church youth movements, and in anti-Church indoctrination, used to spy on religious classes and Bible studies, and interfere with church attendance.After the boy scout movement was banned through German-controlled countries, the Hitler Youth appropriated many of its activities, though changed in content and intention. For example, many activities closely resembled military training, with weapons training, assault course circuits and basic tactics. Some cruelty by the older boys toward the younger ones was tolerated...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/52340f3b-1611-46b7-9640-603b1820d6d4/11a7b69f-83b4-4c32-8e98-2a6e572624e8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/b9KmZvP3fNrQghXdY46LoQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>615</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T09:01:10.694Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2kHUz9YRVR9VBQ89Kr9jGw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/94536058-292f-4e07-a0ab-0eb1c9556d7a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s RIGHT GUARD ANTI-PERSPIRANT TV COMMERCIAL  "IN THE SILVER CAN"   XD38614m</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This television commercial for Mott's Clamato dates to the early 1980s. While the commercial states that the drink is made from tomatoes and clam juice, it is actually made from reconstituted tomato juice concentrate and sugar, which is flavored with spices, dried clam broth and MSG. The juice dates to as early as 1935 when Clamato Corporation of New York produced "clam and tomato juice in combination". Clamato was produced in its current form beginning in 1966 by the Duffy-Mott Co., by Francis Luskey and another employee who wanted to create a Manhattan clam chowder style cocktail.

This color recruitment film showcases the rescue mission of United States Air Force pilot Captain Gerald Lawrence (1943 - 2012) on August 20, 1972, by members of the 40th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron (ARRS) operating out of Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base, Thailand, during the Vietnam War. You’ll see the whole mission from start to finish (including combat over the extraction point) interspersed with an interview with the freshly rescued Capt. Lawrence. Also briefly shown is Colonel (then Major) James C. Harding (1934 - ), who served two tours in Vietnam, flew 596 missions, and is one the twenty-five most decorated American veterans. Produced and directed by Captain Bill Hines. Filmed by Technical Sergeant Tom Kulick and Sergeant Mike Moore. Sound recorded by Sergeant Andy Wells. Edited by Jim Lucas, Don Housholder, and Bill McDonald. Presented by the Department of the Air Force. 

The 40th Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron was a helicopter rescue squadron of the United States Air Force during the Vietnam War. The squadron was activated at Udorn Royal Thai Air Force Base in March 1968 with Sikorsky HH-3 (nicknamed the “Jolly Green Giant”) and later Sikorsky HH-53 (“Super Jolly Green Giant”) helicopters. The 40th moved to Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base on July 21, 1971.

This 1970s color German film (with English narration) produced for Mercedes-Benz by Klaus Eckert of A.I.D. Film Productions champions the range and versatility of the company’s line of trucks (or if you are British, lorries) by showing “how technology supports the transport user” through the use of animated technical illustrations and real-life demonstration footage, with a focus on transmission efficiency (TRT: 19:18).  The film most likely dates to the period when the new 400 family of Mercedes-Benz diesel engines made their debut in the new LP 1632 truck as a V10 engine with a displacement of 16 litres and an output of 235 kW (320 hp) at 2500 rpm. In 1972 the bigger engine was complemented by the OM 402 V8 diesel, with 12.8 litres displacement and 188 kW (256 hp) output at 2500 rpm. For medium-duty trucks, the OM 401, a V6 diesel with 9.6 litres displacement and 141 kW (192 hp) at 2500 rpm, followed in 1975. Intercooler and exhaust-gas turbochargers would arrive on the scene in 1980.

Dating to the early 1970s, this Goodyear Polyglas tire "satisfied customer" commercial promotes the design's long-lasting characteristics, "up to double the mileage". The Polyglas tire was a bias-belted tire first made in 1967. The tire combined the characteristics of bias-ply and radial-ply tires with a wider tread, and used belts made of fiberglass. The Polyglas tire and its competitors were soon replaced by steel belted radials around 1975, but are still manufactured for owners of period cars. The Polyglas GT, which was one of the first commercially available raised white lettered tires on the market.

It likely dates to the WWII era. Aircraft dope is a plasticized lacquer that is applied to fabric-covered aircraft. It tightens and stiffens fabric stretched over airframes, which renders them airtight and weatherproof, increasing their durability and lifespan. Without the application of dope, fabric coverings lacked durability while being highly flammable, both factors rendering them far less viable.

Opening: Doping Techniques (:06-:35). A U.S. Navy Stearman type biplane lands. The plane on the tarmac. Two are shown handling fabric. A man blows smoke through fabric, water is poured into fabric and it leaks through. A man in Navy dress applies a coat of dope and sands it as well on pieces of the plane as its being built. The first coat of dope is being brushed onto the metal (:36-2:13). Tape is used after to ensure no air bubbles. Dope is brushed over the tape. Celluloid grommets are doped to the wings the same as tape. Patches, lacing tapes and fasteners are added as well. The brush is dipped to about one half of it's length and then the dope is applied. Any dope that drips onto any part should be taken by a dried brush (2:14-4:04). A worker applies the dope to the wings. A man sprays any dust off the surface with a dust gun, the placement and proximity is explained (4:05-5:09). Cross spraying. Dope is sprayed. How to spray and the way to spray is explained (5:10-6:14). If dope runs, how to fix this is shown and explained. The man holds the spray gun up high. A hand sands down the dope and the fabric. A wetter sandpaper is used to avoid scratches. The bi-plane on the tarmac, propeller is on. The spray gun is used by the man working on the wing. The bi-plane takes off into the sky (6:15-8:28). End credits (8:29-8:36).

This black and white silent film compiles early 1900’s Edison and Biograph Kinetoscope motion pictures of Coney Island, in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. The film features Thompson and Tilyou’s Steeplechase Park, Dundy’s Luna Park, Dreamland concessions and amusements, and Coney Island beach attractions. This retitled Blackhawk Films home distribution print was derived from a 1961 copy of 35mm paper positives preserved in the Library of Congress, originally dating from 1903-1905.

A title card describes Coney Island as a “magic world of razzle-dazzle excitement” and invokes Charles Feltman, who “introduced the first hot dog at his Ocean Pavillion in 1874” (0:39). Titles continue, noting the Edison and Biograph companies that “cranked out” early motion pictures, and alluding to their using Kinetograph cameras for Kinetoscope exhibition (1:01). Another title explains that movies could only be copyrighted as photographs, so 35mm paper prints were filed with the Library of Congress (1:18). Seashore swimmers in modest turn of the-century bathing costumes splash in the water at Coney Island Beach. Couples dance a jig and one woman takes a tumble in the sand. A man flips his partner, then does a cartwheel and a backflip while younger boys look on (1:48). A title card explains how George Tilyou opened Steeplechase Park in 1897, then rebuilt it after a 1907 fire (2:28). Couples mounted on double-saddled mechanical “horses” race down steep iron rails, variously waving and gripping their partners tightly. Men wear straw hats and women wear petticoats. A batch of single riders follow, then more couples without hats (2:59). Title: “Bike riding on the beach was precarious…” (3:38). Women in patriotic stars &amp; stripes costumes and plaid skirts pedal clumsily along the coastline on bicycles (3:45). An intertitle mentions Feltman...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0363ff00-3375-41d3-b56c-21aa0ba408fb/64cf7a52-ffc8-44f4-807b-7f50fcbb11fc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1qhsRavMAEjv6LwP9ATzqg</video:player_loc><video:duration>1164</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T09:16:29.852Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iccqh6856YZ5EpFYYFvcWX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c05391f7-12c5-4b9b-8341-0e4b56d17035.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s TOOTSIE ROLL CANDY  TV COMMERCIAL  "TOOTSIE ROLL LASTS A LONG TIME"  XD31182e</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

The candy has qualities similar to both caramels and taffy without being exactly either confection. The manufacturer, Tootsie Roll Industries, is based in Chicago, Illinois and makes approximately 64 million Tootsie Rolls daily.

This color travelogue from 1957 showcases the beautiful Cascade Mountain region of Washington and Oregon in the Northwestern United States. Beginning with a brief explanation of how the mountains were formed, we are then shown Mounts Rainier, Adams, Hood, and St. Helens, all the natural wonder surrounding them and all the industry that thrives because of them. Produced by Raphael S. Wolff Studios, Inc. for the Richfield Oil Corporation.

The Cascade Range is a major mountain range of western North America, extending from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California.

This color film from 1975 explains the basics of 16mm film projection and was most likely made to instruct high school Audio-Visual Club members on how to exhibit 16mm films in the classroom. Beginning with a rudimentary explanation of how a 16mm film projector works, the film demonstrates how to clean and thread projectors, avoid film damage and mis-aligned soundtracks, and how best to set up a film projector and screen in a classroom. Projectors shown include a Kodak Pageant model, a Bell &amp; Howell 540, and a Bell &amp; Howell 1552. Produced by Henry Cheharbakhshi, with educational consulting provided by Robert Edmonds of Columbia College. Distributed by International Film Bureau Inc., Chicago, Illinois. Copyright 1975.

Sponsored by Rolex, this educational film "The Story of Time" is about mankind's numerous ways of measuring the passage of time through history. The film relies upon stop-motion animation, and shows ancient sundials, simple mechanical devices from history, and modern, complex timepieces including wristwatches. The film was created by Robert G. Leffingwell with animator Frans Hendrix, with art direction by Jan Coolen, and a score by Guy Warrack and the London Symphony Orchestra. Copyright is 1951. (Note: the film was originally released in Technicolor, this is a B&amp;W version).

Opening titles: The Story of Time by Rolex, A Signal Films Production (:06-:38). A crawl explains man's progress with time measurement. Stars in the galaxy. The sun and earth. The moon and earth. Earth spins. Shade goes across mountains. People bow to the sun (:39-2:25). A man places a pole then others place rocks. An Egyptian obelisk. A sun dial is made. Boat on water. Sun dial is only half a clock (2:26-3:29). Nighttime. A tiny flame burns through string and drops balls below it. During the day the sundial and at night the clock of fire. Water clock is any timepiece by which time is measured by the regulated flow of liquid into or out from a vessel, and where the amount is then measured (3:30-4:53). Sands of time in an hour glass. Bar and cog and weight of iron, the clock is born. Discovered by Galileo in 1602, the swinging motion of a pendulum by the action of gravity and acquired momentum..More accuracy as time goes on. Wheels swing quick. Pendulums swing (4:54-6:09). Mechanical clock. Clocks move. Some clocks have figurines moving around doing various things. Spring clocks and coils. A timepiece clicks. A ship at sea (6:10-8:07).

This 1972 color educational short produced by Coronet Films uses footage of Chicago, Illinois and staged documentary-style interviews to comment on evolving attitudes about ethnic minority groups. By today’s standards, the film provides screen time to cringe-worthy, scripted racist and anti-racist perspectives, while blurring definitions of race and ethnicity (TRT:13:51).

The Chinese-style architecture of the Pui Tak Center Building on Wentworth in Chicago, Illinois (0:10). The San Juan theater, aka the Biltmore, aka the Alameda, in West Town. The marquee advertises “Jaime Sanchez en La Palomilla” (1970) and “Trampa Para Un Cadáver” (1969)  (0:23). Opening titles over the streets of West Town (0:35). A black man with an afro looks across a city street towards an ad for Kent Menthol cigarettes: “The Together Smoke,” which features a smiling black couple. Also, another ad: “Bufferin is Bad. Baby. (And That’s Good.) Pan to elderly African Americans in urban Chicago” (0:40). Italian newspapers. People exiting a subway station (0:52). A tall, white, bald man sticks out above a crowd of pedestrians near a chain location of “Wimpy, The Glorified Hamburger” (1:30). Women flight attendants. One white, one Asian, one Black (1:39). A high-rise apartment complex. More Chicago pedestrians (1:48). Vox Pops / Street Interviews: A woman in a babushka speaks on the subject of “social power” (2:09). A black man in a turtleneck speaks about prejudice (2:28). A white man in a raincoat speaks on deprivation (2:37). An Asian woman speaks on racism (2:52).

Dating to the 1960s, these TV commercials presents the "new" Aunt Jemima Pancake Syrup with the tagline "What took you so long?"  The second ad looks at the drip-proof spout on the new bottle.  The Aunt Jemima pancake mix dates to 1889 and became one of the most recognized brands in US history. Nancy Green portrayed Aunt Jemima at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, one of the first Black corporate models in the United States. The Aunt Jemima character shown here, with a bandana or scarf on her head, is based on the enslaved "Mammy" archetype. The character was criticized as an example of exploited African American women. In 2020, in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, the owner of the brand announced that Aunt Jemima would be retired "to make progress toward racial equality."We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

This 1970s color film written by Forrest F. Adrian, directed by Raymond Bradford, sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute’s Committee on Environmental Affairs and produced by Shell Pipeline presents a liability-deflecting “training aid” for those facing daunting oil spill cleanups. It probably dates from 1972, three years after the infamous Santa Barbara oil spill, which galvanized the environmental movement and changed the industry overnight.  The film implies that oil spills are inevitable, demonstrates flawed reclamation technology, and subtly shifts responsibility from companies at fault to employees tasked with challenging mitigation efforts.  (TRT: 32:26)

P.N. Gammelgard, Sr. V.P. of the American Petroleum Institute, speaks (0:07). Opening titles: “The American Petroleum Institute Presents, Oil Spill Control: Containment and Removal of Spilled Oil from Water” over a stream that runs from clear to slick (2:24). Narrator Max Anderson. “Nobody likes oil spills, but they do occur, and they’re everybody’s business.” Split-screen footage of pipelines adjacent to waterways (2:56).

This American Red Cross film "The Uncalculated Risk" was designed to present viewers with the dangers of taking up water sports such as white-water rafting, canoeing or kayaking with little to no experience. It shows the threat of underwater obstacles, treacherous currents, icy water and flow through hazards while stressing the need for pre-experience training. 

The film opens with two young girls in life vests (:09) and a long line of vacationers carrying rafts and gear (:15). The title screen appears with a youth bobbing in the river water in a life vest (:32). The camera crew interviews participants on how dangerous they feel the sport is (:41), whether or not they wear life vests (:57) and if they had any experience with the sport prior to trying it (1:13). A pair flips over in a canoe (1:23) as the woman seeks stable ground to search for her male partner (1:30). Dramatic footage follows while she spots the man trapped and drowning under the current as other river runners rush to attempt to rescue him which they are unable to do (1:47). Slow motion footage follows to demonstrate what went wrong (2:30) as when the boat had capsized the man made the mistake of attempting to stand in the river’s rocky bed which lead to his foot getting caught and himself becoming trapped under the current (2:38). A close up shot of the rapids is shown to demonstrate how the river’s energy is constantly flowing under the surface (2:51). The film points to the necessity of being aware of what is ahead of the river bends (3:18). One man dictates how when the water moves over rocks it creates a depression in the surface of the water and enables a hole to form (3:36). Here is where many boats and rafts end up getting stuck (3:57). Rafts are much more dangerous to get stuck in these holes as when the rafter...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dced5452-076f-4c09-b7fb-4d5af6969557/19d0b1f5-6f15-4ef3-b4d1-10e31a7d1755-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/thikCKwy7oRToP3rmQcdjt</video:player_loc><video:duration>896</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T10:03:45.318Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wctWiL6ANqh1HDK2dPbm6F</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/78652cfb-ea55-4160-9b25-d5b44ed8ebba.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s CHEETOS TV COMMERCIAL w/ CHEETOS MOUSE  " CHEESE THAT GOES CRUNCH " XD38614aa</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

It was based on a Warner Brothers series of the same name which ran in theaters prior to the feature. This film displays footage of cavalry  and tanks maneuvering through obstacle courses, various water sport and water-skiing stunts as well as Navy cadet parachutists jumping from a blimp and a failed demonstration of a rocket powered life boat. 

The film opens with the Naval Cadets jumping from a blimp by parachute (:26). The control car of the blimp (:30) as well as the Cadets within the airship (:34). Cadets begin leaping from the blimp (:40). As they touch down, ground forces run up to meet them (1:15). U.S. Army cavalry drills are then conducted as horses and riders run up and over hurdles (1:27) and down steep slopes (1:37). M2 Medium tanks are put to the test running over rocky ground (1:53). One tank is shot from underneath as it jumps over a natural hurdle (2:01). Slow motion footage follows as another tank stands nearly upright after going over an obstacle (2:04). Another tank tears through a wooden house (2:17) and others are seen moving down steep slopes (2:21). The rocket powered life saving boat is looked at next (2:44). Operators within the life boat are zoomed in on as the cover is slid over (2:48). It is then shot out into the water from a catapult as spectators look on (2:53). The rocket life boat fails and tips over onto it’s side as men climb out in life vests (3:15). The film turns to aqua stunts as speedboats zoom over the water (3:28) with water skiers riding flat boards (3:44). Another man water skis atop a contraption with two ladders attached to it which tips over into the water while in motion (4:00). One water skier takes a jump off a hurdle in the water and crash lands (4:13). A speed boat takes off over a jump (4:35). One woman takes a spill while riding over a bushy hurdle landing on the shoreline (4:47). “Bug...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e58a80ec-2934-455d-b32a-090f50336859/cff35167-514d-4d4a-baca-4279636b4d5e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ukZA51346d2CLUENiHdeKX</video:player_loc><video:duration>719</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T10:04:04.042Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8WAGy2ALMVvQaHdpUs2zc2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/197dd03d-46ed-4126-b4a0-4ee0b9c214bf.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1957 HAMMOND ORGAN SALES DEMO “THE KIND OF MUSIC YOU WANT” w/ PORTER HEAPS XD46064</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This 1957 color promotional film, one of several created by Dallas Jones Productions for Chicago’s Hammond organ company, uses the characters of a church organist (Porter Heaps), a young protégé, and his layman father to dramatise the practical benefits of an electronic, console-style Hammond organ, highlighting the ability of its drawbar design to produce a diversity of tones and effects for any occasion (26:37).

Opening titles: “The Hammond Organ Company presents, The Kind of Music You Want” (0:28). Exterior: A Christian church with a cornice and pillars. Congregants enter. Inside the chapel, organ music is heard as men and women in their sunday best file into pews. A narrator identifies himself as the organist and choirmaster (0:38). A choir practice. Boys sing in closeup. The choirmaster dismisses them. Most leave with excitement, but one boy, “Tommy” lingers, interested by the organ as multiple voices are demonstrated (1:35). Tommy takes a seat at the Hammond C-3 organ bench and plays (2:50). A man in a suit and hat arrives at home, carrying a briefcase. “Helen, I’m home!” He finds an empty living room. No Tommy, despite a pair of baseball game tickets. Tom Sr. kisses his wife on the cheek and telephones a neighbor (3:48). The father goes out looking for Tommy in suburbia. After passing an empty baseball diamond, he heads to the church, and is startled to find Tommy at an organ: “What’s the big idea?” Tommy hangs his head in shame (5:06). Father suggests getting Tommy a “more practical,” more secular instrument. The organist makes a case for the practicality of his instrument (6:45). A ¾ view of the keyboard reveals two 61-note manuals and drawbars, which are adjusted to change the instrument’s harmonic voicing between bass and treble clef (7:47). Father approves, but only for Sundays. Drawbars are pushed in for a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/404f84b1-1125-4ca5-8c27-883667955f2b/0eaeccaf-1cc7-4a47-9e4a-30d058eb81fd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8WAGy2ALMVvQaHdpUs2zc2</video:player_loc><video:duration>1598</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T10:07:57.164Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/akgbpLtwTezdbzmKBb4Vf7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b1683cf9-99b7-472d-9dc9-e3b2d0972a4a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE PILOT IS SAFE "  WWII ROYAL AIR FORCE &amp; NAVY  SEARCH &amp; RESCUE OF DOWNED PILOTS  79324</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

This black &amp; white wartime documentary is about the procedures, and the closely co-ordinated efforts made by the Royal Navy and Air Force, to locate and rescue downed pilots and aircrew. The rescue aircraft shown is a Westland Lysander, an airplane that was more or less obsolete by 1940 but well suited the role of spotter.  After the fall of France, UK-based Lysanders went to work operating air-sea rescue, dropping dinghies to downed RAF aircrew in the English Channel. Fourteen squadrons and flights were formed for this role in 1940-41. The patrol craft shown are Vosper type motor torpedo boats, which were some of the fastest wartime British naval vessels in WWII. This film copyright 1941 and appears to have been directed by Jack Lee.

This color educational film, "A Case of Working Smarter, Not Harder", has a simple conceit at its core: a reporter for Management Magazine named Tom Copeland" is attempting to write an article about the "Manager of the Year", a mysterious executive named McGregor. McGregor's "innovative system"  is a management strategy in which a manager does not order his employees around. Instead, he allows his subordinates to make their own collective decisions, thereby allowing more time for the manager to focus on his other responsibilities. The film was directed by Ron Underwood and inspired by a story written by Dr. Arthur Carlisle. It stars Woody Eney as McGregor and James Richardson as the reporter, Copeland. Copyright is 1982. 

Opening: CRM Productions presents A Case of Working Smarter, Not Harder (:09-:58). Typewriters in a busy office at Management Magazine: a messy desk with a Coke can.

Dating to the late 1960s / early 1970s, these commercials for Kenner Toys' Swingster record player and the Spirograph. The Swingster was designed for both use with albums and .45s.

Spirograph is a geometric drawing device that produces mathematical roulette curves of the variety technically known as hypotrochoids and epitrochoids. The toy version was developed by British engineer Denys Fisher and first sold in 1965.

The Swingster was a portable, transistorized, battery-operated record player designed for children.  It had a unique design where the tone arm rode on a steel rod which at the end or record play could be lifted to raise the tone arm and automatically place the needle back at the beginning of the record with ease. It was not a commercial success.

This black and white educational film from the United Kingdom is part four of a five part series entitled “Atomic Physics - An Historical Approach” from 1947. Animations and recreations are used to describe early atomic breakthroughs such as the discovery of the neutron in 1930 and Einstein’s theory of relativity, with Einstein himself making an appearance. Written, directed and narrated by Derek Mayne. Animation sequences made by Gaumont-British Animation Ltd. Produced by Gaumont-British Instructional Ltd. 

Atomic theory is a scientific description of the nature of atoms and matter that combines elements of physics, chemistry, and mathematics. According to modern theory, matter is made of tiny particles called atoms, which are in turn made up of subatomic particles. Atoms of a given element are identical in many respects and different from atoms of other elements. Atoms combine in fixed proportions with other atoms to form molecules and compounds. In 1919, Lord Ernest Rutherford discovered the proton, a positively charged particle within the atom's nucleus. Rutherford also put out the idea that there could be a particle with mass but no charge. He and William Harkins called it a "neutron", and imagined it as a paired proton and electron. In 1932, the physicist James Chadwick conducted an experiment which led to the discovery of this "neutron". Chadwick bombarded Beryllium with alpha particles from the natural radioactive decay of Polonium. The resulting radiation showed high penetration through a lead shield, which could not be explained via the particles known at that time.

This pre-war U.S. Army Air Corps film presents footage of experimental planes and flying contraptions from the 1920’s through the 1930’s. The collection was assembled by the US Army Air Corps (:17) and Paramount News presents the first newsreel (:37). Vehicles are seen riding down a public highway in Coatesville, Pennsylvania (:41). A glider type craft swoops in through the crowds and cars (:44). It is then seen in a field with it’s turntable wings spun by the inventor (:58). Pathe News presents D. T. Granville demonstrating his tail first plane in Springfield, Massachusetts (1:46). The craft is driven by automobile controls (1:57). The wheel is adjusted to show how it controls the rudders and ailerons (2:05). The plane takes off and flies with it’s tail facing forward (2:14). A Universal Newspaper Newsreel (2:34) brings the film to Orangeburg, New York. A windmill type flying craft is seen (2:41) invented by Johnathan Caldwell. The craft, named Gray Goose (3:09), is unable to take off from the ground. Harvest Metrotone News presents a tubular plane (3:25). It is shown in Milan and it’s rudders are viewed from the back of the cylindrical plane with long flat wings (3:32). Another craft presented by Harvest is the C. L. Synder plane in South Bend, Indiana (4:05). The craft is shown to be fairly similar to more modern air planes except for the long wing extensions which make it appear to represent a butterfly (4:26). Due to its shape, in the event of motor failure, it could be flown as a glider (4:35). Paramount News (4:58) shows a spindle plane invented by C. Popper (5:14). Popper gives an explanation as to how the spindles work (8:23). It is wingless and the larger spindles are the main lifting lifters (5:32). The spindles are shown to be revolving and creating a lifting vacuum above (5...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/64f3a3e5-4b6f-4d16-b47f-5dab13e39d9e/823935bf-7aeb-4f5d-839f-fcb03c85f1ab-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dt2sbMzFS8AAzXQxyehbxy</video:player_loc><video:duration>979</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T10:39:51.636Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xvacqHHke9wZryaF5Tv8xE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d8a53ba7-a1a2-4f89-b106-352066aaa890.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LUFTHANSA AIRLINES HISTORY &amp; PROMOTIONAL FILM GERMANY TIME FLIES XD30294</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Lufthansa presents “Time Flies,” a 1960s color promo film on the history of the German airline. Narrated by Frank Blair, the film is not only about commercial aviation but also about the “conquest of the air.”  “In man’s never ending struggle for more time, the conquest of the air has made the clock, rather than the calendar, time’s cardinal measurement,” says Blair at mark 01:25.Aviation history moved swiftly, the narrator explains starting 01:40, from the Wright Brothers first flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903 through developments needed in World War I. As he speaks, scenes of vintage Lufthansa airplanes flash across the screen. In an unsettled Europe following World War I, the need for a more “instantaneously” way to deliver mail, passengers, and other services developed. Enter small, private air services in most European nations. “It took a letter five days to go 250 miles from Berlin to the new republic capital of Weimar,” the narrator explains at mark 02:16. In 1919, the first air service in Germany reduced that time to four hours.By 1924 there were over 30 airlines in Germany alone, each competing for the very limited business available. To fix the problem, airlines from individual countries merged to form a “national brand.” On January 6, 1926, Deutsche Luft Hansa was formed. (The name of the company was derived from Luft, the German word for “air,” and Hansa, a Latin term meaning “guild.”)“Europeans were no longer distant neighbors,” Blair says at mark 03:58. As the film shows major European cities by air, the viewer is reminded that the Alps were no longer a barrier, and that glamorous cities such as London, Paris, and Rome were now brought closer to the German people. In the 1930s, Lufthansa introduced passengers to the Junkers G.38, shown as mark 04:55, a “modern” passenger...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ff1d891f-fcd1-4540-82ee-15674f45faa0/82e05dbf-8ecd-482a-b5c7-6301be781684-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xvacqHHke9wZryaF5Tv8xE</video:player_loc><video:duration>1630</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T10:43:12.455Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/o1d9bandoazjLQMnNP92mk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9b612d5d-1500-4e04-8668-9c5e04bbefb3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ TANK CAR SAFETY ” U.S. ARMY BALLISTIC RESEARCH LAB  RAILROAD CAR EXPLOSION TESTS 90764</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This 1970s color film produced by the Herb Golden Organization for Dynamic Sciences. 
This sponsored film was filmed in cooperation with the Federal Railroad Administration’s Office of Rail Safety Research, with Frank Capra, Jr.  credited as Executive Producer. The film looks at safety problems related to railroad gas petroleum tank cars, and shows innovative developments that will make them safer by using thermal insulation techniques. Findings of the U.S. Ballistic Research Laboratory were used to develop these concepts, with the hope being that the disastrous effects of collision and derailment-related chain explosions could be mitigated. The research uses slow motion techniques to document the investigation and its related experiments (TRT 21:33).

Opening titles, “U.S. Army ARRADCOM” -- U.S. Army Armament Research and Development Center -- and “Ballistic Research Laboratory” (BRL) (0:07). A diesel locomotive freight train pulling tank cars (0:17). A train derailment and wreck. A punctured, derailed tank car emitting flames. Then, an enormous explosion. Wreckage and debris (0:42). Large tanks of gas are transported across a wide-open plain via truck, for a government test. The test tank is shown in an excavated pit. Passing freight cars in a train yard, on railroad tracks (0:59). Exterior: Ballistic Research Laboratory. Flaming scenes of accidental explosions (1:42). An Exxon gas filling station. Warning signs: “Flammable Gas, Liquefied Petroleum Gas” and “Dangerous, Propane, Handle Carefully.” Exploded pipeline (2:14). Firefighters in red uniforms and hardhats. A destroyed brick building. A gas explosion (2:46). A freight car collides with a tank car, triggering a controlled explosion in slow motion test footage (3:08). A dented tank car. A firefighter sprays water from an elevated fire truck ladder. A tank car sec...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b230885b-8f34-40f0-b0b9-3af109c30f6f/360b2828-a421-498e-9ace-798b9c207805-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/o1d9bandoazjLQMnNP92mk</video:player_loc><video:duration>1293</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T10:45:19.295Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2DNgS9JPKZTtFLopFgMJku</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/05787b17-3f3a-4537-9c4d-9bcd7245d442.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s BUFFERIN ASPIRIN  TV COMMERCIAL  "HALF THE TIME OF ASPIRIN"  XD38614cc</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Made in 1960 by Arthur Barr, this film presents one of the earliest looks at the tremendous problem of Urban Sprawl. growth in single-family homes begin built outside cities. The growth of suburban regions is (according to the narrator) one of the biggest challenges facing the United States of the 1960s. The desertion of the metropolises' downtowns, and the explosion of suburban populations, was indeed a threat to the health of American cities. Highways, such as Los Angeles' 101 Freeway seen at the 1:44 mark, provided easy access for commuters and helped develop a commuter culture. At 2;11, suburban housing tracts are developed in the San Fernando Valley, replacing farms and farm crops with housing. Mile after mile of housing is seen being built, and along with them come utilities (4:21) such as telephone and electrical cables and pipes.Early shopping malls are seen at 4:50, including a shopping center with a May Company store and loads of '50s Chevy Belairs in the parking lot. At 6:00, a new subdivision known as "Tropicana Village" is built boasting 10,000 new homes. "Pacific Gardens" seen at 6:06, is in Santa Clara, California.  Santa Clara is studied in more detail at the 6:30 mark. At 8:00, demolition of houses is seen and the construction of new apartment buildings in the city. At 8:50, expressways or highways are seen under construction. Urban sprawl or suburban sprawl describes the expansion of human populations away from central urban areas into low-density, monofunctional and usually car-dependent communities, in a process called suburbanization. In addition to describing a particular form of urbanization, the term also relates to the social and environmental consequences associated with this development. In Continental Europe the term "peri-urbanisation" is often used to denote similar dynamics and pheno...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e30d3453-efcf-44a7-887c-350e8ff318f9/fcf7112d-9cdf-4946-a3bf-f0cfb146b03b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/u3at6KCZMQ2A8ERav1nEuz</video:player_loc><video:duration>868</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T10:48:14.414Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6YGpozPqhtMokmDULTJ1m9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4c929139-01d9-48c5-88e4-dab3229c2187.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DOUGLAS DC-8 JET ROLLOUT, GROUND TESTS &amp; FIRST FLIGHT XD31454</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This NASA film shows the rollout of the first Douglas DC-8 jet, and the ground testing of its instruments. At 1:25 the aircraft makes its first test flight. At 3:18 the aircraft comes in for a landing at the Douglas plant in Long Beach, California. At 4:16, a DC-8 in Delta livery is seen in service. The Douglas DC-8 (also known as the McDonnell Douglas DC-8) is an American four-engine long-range narrow-body jet airliner built from 1958 to 1972 by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Launched after the competing Boeing 707, the DC-8 nevertheless kept Douglas in a strong position in the airliner market, and remained in production until 1972 when it began to be superseded by larger wide-body designs, including the Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and Lockheed L-1011 TriStar. The DC-8's design allowed it a slightly larger cargo capacity than the 707 and some re-engined DC-8s are still in use as freighters.

This is a silent, color/black &amp; white home movie. We believe this was shot at the Fort Monmouth, New Jersey by members of the Signal Corps, U.S. Signal Training Regiment, known as Company U. This is circa 1949, when the Signal Corps Training School was based at Monmouth. There are actually two films here. The first shows members of the regiment on parade and being inspected. The second is a sort of "gag film" called "A Day At Home" showing everyday life for inductees in the group. Opening: Sign reads: Company U Signal Training Regiment (:08). Soldiers stand at attention (:15). Insignia patches on their uniforms include the 3rd Armored Division, Amphibious Forces Division, and a Mine Tenders Patch (:48). Officers salute one another (1:08). Soldiers are reviewed by Officers as they stand at attention with their rifles (1:19). Officers walk amongst the standing men as part of inspection (2:43).

This color educational film is an episode of the 'True Adventure' TV show features a visit with an African pygmy tribe of the Ituri region of the Belgian Congo, the Mbuti people, or Bambuti. These are one of several indigenous pygmy groups in the Congo region of Africa who speak Central Sudanic and Bantu.

Shot by amateur filmmaker Norm Schley during a trip to the Southwest, this roll of footage shows scenes shot in Houston and San Antonio, Texas and Arizona. Schley was a resident of Wisconsin who ran a successful accounting firm, and during time off would travel the USA and the world shooting travelogue films. A talented cameraman and a true showman, Norman would present his films with live narration at various venues. Note: this particular reel shows "cutting room floor" materials that didn't make it into films for one reason or another. In this case, some of the footage you'll notice has an out-of-focus element in the right side; this is actually a camera lens on a turret that Norm didn't realize was visible during filming. 

The start of the film is in Houston, including at 1:20 scenes at Rice University. The Art Deco City National Bank Building, completed in 1947 and designed by Alfred C. Finn, is at 1:43.At 1:47 the Foley's department store is shown. At 1:52, another Art Deco or streamline moderne building is shown (location unknown). At 2:14 the City Hall building is shown. At 2:18 the Shamrock Hotel, the largest hotel built in the United States during the 1940s, is shown. Rows of searchlights are shown at the building's base. At 2:50 a modern swimming pool is seen, and at 3:37 the Goodyear blimp flies overhead. At 3:43 the film changes to another area. At 5:12 a young woman attempts to stop some boys from throwing her into the swimming pool. At 5:40, horseback riding is shown at a dude ranch. At 7:12 Yucca type plants are visible.  At 8:11, part of the San Antonio Riverwalk is shown and at 8:59 the Alamo. At 9:40, the El Conquistador Hotel in Tucson, Arizona is shown. This resort was demolished in 1968 and replaced by the El Con shopping center.  Shots follow of the hotel's grounds and at 10:36 a man in a suit pla...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d48f1038-a00b-43be-85df-88f06d1b3c3a/8e94d21e-3f1f-490a-985b-a0f914b171a7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sfnaL94tWc8U88czsbntDC</video:player_loc><video:duration>1418</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T10:56:47.467Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2g5tSbcG51LE11NaeDJKey</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4384acd2-5bfd-489c-9d2e-210adba148fe.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s IRELAND TRAVELOGUE FILM  “SCHLEY RIDE TO IRELAND”  (PART 4/4) GALWAY, LOUGHREA, SLIGO XD46934</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This theater ad or snipe advertises Philip Morris Cigarettes with the famous tag line "Call for Philip Morris".  The commercial campaign featured Johnny Roventini, an actor who stood less than four feet tall as a fully developed adult. Roventini was working as a bellboy at the New Yorker Hotel in 1933 when he was discovered by an advertising mogul, who had him perform a page, issuing a "Call for Philip Morris". He reportedly could always vocalize a perfect B-flat tone. Roventini was described by Philip Morris personnel as a "living trademark", and made personal appearances for Philip Morris until he retired in 1974.

The namesake of the Philip Morris Co. was born in Whitechapel, United Kingdom in 1835. The first cigarettes that Philip Morris made were in 1854 and were known as "Philip Morris English Ovals." In 1902, Philip Morris &amp; Co. Ltd. was incorporated in New York City. George J. Whelan bought the American division of the company. From 1951 to 1955, Philip Morris sponsored the CBS sitcom "I Love Lucy", with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz pitching the product often, and Philip Morris controlling the content of the program

Dating to the 1950s, this ad for Parliament cigarettes with the recessed filter to trap nicotine and tar so that it "cannot get on your lips." The ad ends with the tagline, "Smoke the Best -- new Hi-Filtration Filter Parliament".  The Parliament brand was launched in 1931 and is distinctive for its recessed paper filters -- originally used as an advertising gimmick when cigarettes did not have filters. After cigarette filters became common, the brand was marketed for its unique filters, with advertisements reading, "Only the flavor touches your lips", and "Tobacco tastes best when the filter's recessed". The brand also claimed that the recessed filter prevented tar from making contact with the smoker's mouth, unlike standard filters. None of this of course made up for the fact that Parliaments, like all cigarettes, are harmful to human health and that smoking kills.

This black &amp; white short film shows how a musical score enhances a motion picture. Many clips from Frank Lioyd's 'Wells Fargo' (1937) are shown. There is no copyright but this is circa 1937, and was likely made to help promote the feature's release.

Opening: A title card that mentions how music enhances the spectacle of a great motion picture (:09-:19). Paramount Pictures front gate, a soundstage, the music department entrance sign. Western clips are superimposed over the face of director Frank Lloyd. Mr. Lloyd is then seated with composer Victor Young, another man, in a projection room. They watch a scene from Lloyd's film, 'Wells Fargo' (1937). The scene shows New Year's Eve 1854 with a rowdy crowd on horse wagons, a couple laughs in a  dining hall, a man comes in and tells another about a gold strike, he says it rather loud and everyone hears it and starts to react. People rush out in a  frenzy. Victor Young plays the piano, he stops to jot something down (:20-2:11). Young composes a theme for Bob Burns and an Indian walking down a busy street, the scene is shown with the music added. The next scene shows the vigilantes preparing to lynch Porter Hall, music ads to the menace as the scene continues. A rope with a noose is thrown up around a pole (2:12-3:20). Another scene in which Frances Dee says goodbye to Joel McCrea, she hugs him and the music comes up. They hold one another and talk. A hand composes a score. Music is printed, names of instruments are printed. On a scoring stage, the orchestra starts to play. Victor Young composes while the orchestra plays, clips of the movie play above them on a film screen. Young waves his baton. Violinists play. A horse and wagon chase plays out above them (3:21-5:14). Young waves his baton in a  frenzy, a man plays a flute. A scene of a wagon is shown, music co...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ad9f5fd5-0c18-47fd-ae10-c054ff11d7f4/30013ead-fc9c-49c5-a7ee-dbb2c764baaa-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nruZE5mrDALEkiuyGhNgEd</video:player_loc><video:duration>420</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T11:01:56.316Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hhBd6wBAxbrbFiMNqe3oF5</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c3427c18-ea24-437d-896d-e2e224592354.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE THUNDER OF STEAM IN THE BLUE RIDGE " 1958 NORFOLK &amp; WESTERN STEAM LOCOMOTIVES J-CLASS 48314</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This black &amp; white film shows Norfolk &amp; Western steam locomotive trains that ran in the Blue Mountain region of the United States with the footage shot in Virginia. This was filmed by Fred McLeod primarily in 1958 and released in 1963. Two primary classes of motive power are seen -- the Y6B class and the J class. The Y6b class locomotives were a group of 30, 2-8-8-2, articulated steam locomotives built between 1948 and 1952. They were decommissioned and scrapped roughly a decade later.  The elegant, streamliner class J was used primarily for passenger service. Along with the class A and class Y freight locomotives, these represented Norfolk and Western's "Big Three" and the pinnacle of steam technology. One class J locomotive, #611, survives today. One Y6A also survives, #2156, the sole survivor of the railroad's Y5, Y6, Y6a and Y6b classes. After a series of mergers, the Norfolk and Western is known today as Norfolk Southern Railway. 

Opening title cards (:06). A Norfolk &amp; Western passenger train pulled by the J-class streamliner 601, the Powhatan Arrow, coming down the tracks (1:03). Its route ran from Norfolk to Cincinnati. The Cavalier (1:39). Norfolk &amp; Western passenger train, the Pocahontas (1:49). The Pocahontas (2:16) pulled by J-class engine 606(2:41). The Pocahontas leaves Bedford, VA and passes by another train (3:15). Norfolk &amp; Western long hood diesel locomotive pulls cars filled with coal (3:44). A-class articulated 2-6-6-4 steam locomotive hauls coal (4:23). Norfolk &amp; Western A-class 2-6-6-4  locomotive 1214 pulls coal as it goes down the tracks (4:50). From far in the distance, a train starts to come down the tracks and gets closer and closer (6:41). Locomotive pulling railcars (7:34). Norfolk &amp; Western 1214 pulls cars filled with coal (7:56).

This color public relations film from Rockwell International dates to the early 1980’s, and addresses the need for and development of NASA’s Space Shuttle program. Viewers are taken through all the reasons the Shuttle’s satellite-placing capabilities will help our relationship with the planet Earth (from resource detection to hurricane tracking), and then presented with a showcase of Rockwell International’s contributions to rocketry and space travel, including building and testing the Shuttle’s three main engines. Written and directed by Robert Durham, cinematography and editing by Brainard Miller, narrated by Mario Machado. Produced by Rockwell International’s Rocketdyne Division.The Space Shuttle was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated from 1981 to 2011 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as part of the Space Shuttle program. Five complete Space Shuttle orbiter vehicles were built and flown on a total of 135 missions from 1981 to 2011, launched from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Operational missions launched numerous satellites, interplanetary probes, the Hubble Space Telescope, conducted science experiments in orbit, and participated in construction and servicing of the International Space Station (ISS). Four fully operational orbiters were initially built: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis. Of these, two were lost in mission accidents: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. A fifth operational orbiter, Endeavour, was built in 1991 to replace Challenger. The Space Shuttle was retired from service upon the conclusion of Atlantis's final flight on July 21, 2011. Rockwell International was a major American manufacturing conglomerate involved in aircraft, the space industry, defense and commercial electronics, components in the automoti...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/51072e17-2b24-42e2-a2ff-628bb0898000/a387987f-5476-42b7-a310-8232a7c823b6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/b1k8W2xgDZsZUDSaKR66fG</video:player_loc><video:duration>886</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T11:03:21.838Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/i5jeHHfK2FsFPooZ3CatYp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b9873552-2512-4342-89af-69118caa6b89.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s Hi-C FRUIT DRINK TV COMMERCIAL  " THE SENSIBLE DRINK "   XD38614u</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dixon, and released on Agfa (:09) stock. It appears to be an amateur-made-if-elaborate film / home movie. The film documents the U.S. Navy Review in New York harbor, an event attended by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (who was on board the cruiser USS Indianapolis). The film begins on May 31st, 1934 (:20) and shows the US Navy entering the New York harbor (:39). A title card proclaims that the USS Columbia is to be the film’s station for review (1:05) as it heads to Sandy Hook. It is believed this is actually the Hudson River steamboat SS Columbia, an excursion steamship built in 1902. The expanse of the SS Columbia is shown (1:25) as well as a shot of the walking beam steam engine, and of the ship’s deck with a small life boat hanging over the side (1:49). New York's skyline (1:59) from the Columbia. The Statue of Liberty rises in front of the docks (2:15). The film turns to other vessels awaiting review, including what appears to be a Coast Guard cutter USCGC Saranac (2:26). The famed American financier, J.P. Morgan’s yacht the Corsair (2:54) is pictured. On the Columbia, women lounging on the top deck on the vessel (3:03). Over 200 Navy aircraft are visible flying in triangular formation over the vessels (3:34). Footage follows of some of the 60-mile parade of warships (5:13) comprised of battleships, cruisers and destroyers / subchasers as well as a steam boat (9:15). At 5:14 a large cruiser is shown, possibly USS Indianapolis. At 8:45, the SS Augvald of Haugesund, which was sunk during WWII. At 9:17, a Staten Island ferry is seen as New York’s Empire State Building comes into view (9:22). A biplane and an amphibious plane fly overhead (9:31). Now, a return to New York's Hudson River on June 10th of 1934, to see the fleet at anchor (9:43). Two men stand in front of a sign announcing they are on the Long Island steamer SS Belle Island (9:58). The film then mentions the ship was a "Tom Taylor Special" taking passe...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e36aaabd-8e95-4793-978d-ad30318bdbc8/a8e92afc-2b0f-4804-814d-eb5c21ae08f4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/u5M8gbRwtA2BZAYDvoNkGu</video:player_loc><video:duration>1061</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T11:04:04.692Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gqsxwyAixKBSE9K4Uxt5ZX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/427084d4-e52c-4fbc-8525-40a412c83c0a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SSP KAIMALINO  190 TON STABLE SEMI SUBMERGED PLATFORM   RANGE SUPPORT MONOHULL  XD12254</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This color U.S. Navy film from 1976 is about the design, construction, testing and use of a 190-ton ship called the SSP Kaimalino. This ship is the first of its kind which provides the lowest motion in large waves known of any ship type in the world. The SSP is considered a SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) ship, with research and design elements based on the patents of engineer Tom G. Lang. Lang led the model tests, and managed the SWATH design aspects of the 190-ton SSP Kaimalino shown in the film. The type of ship virtually eliminates seasickness. It's major uses are for any kind of ship application that requires low motion in large waves. In March 1973, the Coast Guard Yard in Curtis Bay, Maryland, laid the experimental ship SSP Kaimalino. The project was developed by the Naval Undersea Center (Pearl Harbor, Hawaii). In just a few months, shipbuilders handed over the vessel to the David W. Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center. The main and most unusual feature of the SSP Kaimalino was its design, with the main body remaining above the water. Below the surface were two torpedo-shaped hull-pontoon with two stabilizers in the bow and a horizontal stabilizer bridge in the stern, as well as four vertical supports of a streamlined shape. Above the water was a rectangular case with a sloping nose and streamlined surfaces on the bottom. The Kaimalino had a total length of 26,76 m, a width of 14,2 m and a normal draft of 4,65 m.

Opening: The Naval Undersea Center presents 190-Ton Stable Semi-Submerged Platform SSP (1976 update) (:17-:36). The SSP (Stable Semi-Submerged Platform) sails on the high seas. It was designed as a range support craft. It provides less motion in waves, large deck areas, and increase speed in rough seas. An older ship is shown taking water in rough seas and the bow dips into the ro...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7ce349d6-dad4-41a6-a0b9-126e573c8799/2d04eeb9-2e4c-459c-94bd-e04b1ddf06ad-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gqsxwyAixKBSE9K4Uxt5ZX</video:player_loc><video:duration>714</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T11:06:12.214Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/thgYi2G2bQS6VsGdDyhuuk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ae2c3ae5-b448-42b8-9413-40047c3cf7a1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PORT ARTHUR TEXAS  1936-37 HOME MOVIE   OIL FIELDS   AFRICAN AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL  XD14624</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Shot by an unknown amateur filmmaker, this silent 16mm home movie shows a trip to Port Arthur, Texas in the late 1930s or early 1940s, but most likely around Spring, 1937 (see below). It includes rare footage shot at a football game at a segregated, African American high school, probably Port Arthur Lincoln High School. The film begins with images in an oil field (1:20), with oil derricks, pumpjacks and towers visible.  Next at 2:20, the Masonic Temple Lodge on Lakeshore Drive. At 3:07 is Eddington Court on Proctor Street. Its iconic wall is made of conch shells and designed by Dionicio Rodriguez, a Mexican-born sculptor. At 3:28, Rosehill Manor on Woodworth Blvd and Lakeshore Drive is shown, and at 3:39 Beau Reve` on Atlantic Road. At 4:11, a big fire engulfs a portion of the oil field, possibly a well fire or burst pipeline. At 6:06 the submarine P-2 is seen; this is the USS Pike, later known as SS-173. This is a Porpoise class submarine, built for the United States Navy in the late 1930s, and holds a distinction as the first all-welded sub. In 1937, Pike departed Newport, R.I. on 10 February 1937, and proceeded via the Panama Canal to Naval Station San Diego, and it remained in the Pacific during WWII -- so this helps date our film to about 1937. (It could also be 1936 as the boat conducted a shakedown cruise of the Atlantic in that year.)  At 6:57, men are seen hauling in fishing nets on the beach. They appear to be full of jellyfish as seen at 7:21. At 7:25 are more scenes of oil infrastructure including a tank farm at 8:11.

Dating to 1946, "Target Kite Manipulations" is a training film that shows how to use target kites in ship defense gunnery practice. Target kites were developed by the Special Devices Branch and Dr. Paul E. Garber, who later gained fame as the founder of the National Air and Space Museum and its senior historian. Garber's interest in kites dated to childhood, when he was approached by none other than Alexander Graham Bell -- who showed him that his kite was not assembled properly.  Many WWII target kites were manufactured by the A. G. Spalding &amp; Bros. company, a leading sporting goods manufacturer, others were constructed by Comet Model Airplane &amp; Supply Co. and Ballard Aircraft Corp.  Over 250K kites were made during the war.

It follows a narrative of two sales representatives who sell vacuum cleaners, taking lunch at a diner. They are discussing a training seminar which promoted the idea of ‘pitch, plant, profit’ in order to sell their Kenmore vacuums. The film was presented by Sears Roebuck and Company (:18) and opens with two men ordering coffee and a donut (1:17). One of the pair is disgruntled with the training seminar and doesn’t believe the process could work while the other begins to share a story with him showing that it does in fact work (2:14). His story begins while he had only been working for Sears for a short time in the Nebraska location (2:15). On a slow day, the representative is seen struggling to get his pitches out when the crew manager from the zoning office stops by, whom is also the same man who gave the pair their training from the beginning of the film (2:42). The trainer asks the representative how many names and addresses he collected that morning which stuns the representative and he replies with none and that names and addresses will not get him commission (2:51). The trainer leaves him with the challenge of acquiring 20 names and addresses only by lunchtime and if he does so he will receive a free lunch (3:47). By noon, he had spoken with 190 people and was able to get 27 names and addresses (4:28). In order to do this, he used the survey pitch and was able to talk to someone every 45 seconds (4:44). Back in the diner he tells his peer that he closed five of the prospects and expected to close more (5:45). He then breaks down how he was able to close them as after the free lunch he was instructed by the trainer to visit twelve of the addresses and leave them with a vacuum overnight without pitching the home owners (7:46). Upon arriving at the houses, he left the machines in his vehicle which kept the prospects from being on guard once they opened the door (8:06) and instea...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/32e6df30-5a21-4f7a-9389-62b6c1a69b4a/8d9311c2-42d9-4735-b548-c84ebeb6c5ab-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7hyFqmqeqSz8kDViAyHcS3</video:player_loc><video:duration>797</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T11:16:01.149Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jVsstHkhXLqdFS5XKEpdXS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8591df6d-2c3b-40bb-a32d-e09f82be755d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HOME MOVIES: NEW YORK WORLD’S FAIR, MANHATTAN, ATLANTIC CITY 1939 - 1940</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Released in 1946, this film is a promotional for Chase and Sanborn Coffee which is an American coffee brand established in 1862 in Boston Massachusetts. It shows the process they undertake for choosing coffee beans as well as acquiring the right flavor from the beans. It is presented by the Fleischmann Division (:11), narrated by Hugh James and was produced by B. K. Blake Inc (:27). The film opens by pointing to the more than 50 countries in the tropical zone which grow coffee beans (:37). Footage of natives picking the beans from arabica trees follows (1:32) and these beans will be delivered to the markets of the world. Beginning their journey, the coffee beans are transported by oxen and mules to ships which may carry them as far as thousands of miles away to their destinations (2:00). The Chase and Sanborn roasting plant (2:27) is pictured as one of the coffee beans’ final locations. Samples of each incoming batch here are checked for color, quality and appearance (3:19) and they will then be roasted in miniature lab ovens. These ovens mimic the process of large plant ovens (3:22) which to maintain standards of operations on a grand scale. A technician checks the roast of the beans in the oven (3:46) and each of the samples will be prepared and tested. Each sample is carefully grounded and weighed to ensure they receive identical treatment (4:13). After exact measurements of boiling water is added to each cup, they are tested for aromatic qualities (4:53). The final test is of taste and these technicians were so experienced that they were able to detect even the slightest deviation from standards (5:29). After the sample has been chosen this process must be repeated and translated into millions of pounds of coffee (5:47). The Chase and Sanborn warehouse follows (5:50) with bags of co...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/32fe03bd-baa9-4293-8c39-f7ccbce571f9/be586566-2579-47d1-825b-6b716b5a7cb4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7ideuecDUEqvhX67wmUPp8</video:player_loc><video:duration>982</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T11:19:10.924Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/afkKczJj7RxFtujy7U1McS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9ca4f961-9e64-435e-b92b-cc056aab785b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1920s TOUR OF CHICAGO ILLINOIS &amp; GREAT ELKS PARADE JULY 15, 1926   LINCOLN PARK      ZOO  XD46604</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This Official Films newsreel, “News Thrills of 1942, Vol. 3,” begins with “Egypt: First Pictures of British Stand Against Rommel” (00:24) in the Egyptian desert west of Alexandria. In the summer of 1942 (possibly leading into or as part of the First Battle of El Alamein), British forces (00:29) move into position to prevent German and Italian troops, led by Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, from breaking through to Alexandria. General Claude Auchinleck oversees the Eighth Army’s operations and rallies his men (00:43). Antiaircraft guns and extra stores of ammunition are set up in preparation for the fight (01:02). Royal Air Force (RAF) planes provide cover for ground troops (01:14) and bomb advancing Axis columns (01:45). A British tank passes a downed Nazi plane (01:35), and other destroyed German and Italian planes are shown (01:38). The Eighth Army pushes forward (02:00) and captures Axis soldiers (02:23), equipment, and bombs (02:41), while the RAF drops bombs of their own (02:50). The following segment shows footage of the US Marine landing at Guadalcanal—presumably on 7 August 1942—as part of the campaign to capture the Solomon Islands from Japan (03:09). Under command of Marine General Alexander Vandegrift, the Allied warships move into position (03:15) as US aircraft leave cruiser decks (03:30) and bomb Japanese targets. The first Marine forces climb into landing barges (03:52) and head for the island. 11,000 Marines make it to shore, invading the island and setting up machine guns (04:10). However, the Japanese base is deserted (04:15). The Marines raise “Old Glory” over the island with General Vandegrift standing at salute (04:26), marking an end to the nine-hour raid. The newsreel’s next segment is “Dieppe: Commandos &amp; Rangers Raid Occupied France” (04:33). It shows the Dieppe Raid, an Allied operation designed to...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3ea38308-e10f-4f97-9b15-07a467fee901/cde048cd-a95f-411e-aa63-3297ee088932-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8JCc2eQkvYqKvmWFo1KtFF</video:player_loc><video:duration>571</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T11:25:27.917Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mJB15ZarEJknxM3133MDpz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/deac9193-435c-4e19-a02d-3cb7c88c2d5c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DISCOVERY '70  ANACOSTIA NEIGHBORHOOD MUSEUM   WASHINGTON, D.C.

For more information on the "Universal Jeep" visit the website farmjeep.com

This silent, color film demonstrates the various attachments available for the Willys-Overland CJ model Jeep (a civilian version of wildly successful Willys MB U.S. Army Jeep of World War II fame), as well as the trim levels of the Willys Truck platform, and the Willys Cargo-Personnel Carrier. Filmed in 1953 in Ohio and Texas, the vehicles and their accessories are put through the paces tilling fields, digging tenches, transporting injured motorists, hauling cargo, and clearing snow. Each attachment featured is preceded by a peek at the item’s description in the Willys printed catalog.

Founded in 1908 and Headquartered in Toldeo, Ohio, Willys was the second-largest producer of automobiles in the 1910’s (second to Ford Motor Company). The company struggled to keep up that pace in the 1920’s and into the Great Depression, however. In 1940, Willys–Overland was one of several bidders when the War Department sought an automaker that could begin rapid production of a lightweight truck based on a design by American Bantam. Production of the Willys MB, better known as Jeep, began in 1941, and was shared between Willys, Ford, and American Bantam. In total, 653,568 military Jeeps were manufactured. After the war, Willys chose to concentrate on Jeeps and Jeep-based vehicles. The Jeep CJ was among the first civilian vehicles of any kind to be equipped with four-wheel drive from the factory, and it gained popularity among farmers, ranchers, hunters, and others who needed a lightweight vehicle for use on unimproved roads and trails. Though Jeeps are still manufactured today by Chrysler, the company that originally made them a household name was defunct by 1963.

This black and white short subject "Nobody's Children" was released in late 1946. The film concerns the process of child adoption in America and centers on The Calahans, a fictional, childless couple living in Hampstead, New York. After deciding they wish to adopt an infant, the film follows the Calahans from their first meetings with doctors through to when they bring their new infant home. Also shown are examples of couples who should not be permitted to adopt (middle-aged, selfish, or impatient couples, for instance), as well as the downfalls of taking the “black market” adoption route. By studying the closeups of the adoption forms shown in the film, we can extrapolate the suburban scenes were shot at 52 and 56 Lewis Place in Hampstead, NY.  

The March of Time was an American short film series sponsored by Time Inc. and shown in movie theaters and schools from 1935 to 1951. Each entry in the series was either a two- or three-reel film (20 or 30 minutes). Westbrook Van Voorhis, who hosted the radio program of the same name, served as narrator. At its peak The March of Time was seen by 25 million U.S. moviegoers a month.

This 1959 color film "Mission: Sonic Boom" was made at a time when the U.S. Air Force was experiencing criticism for its pilots exceeding Mach 1.0 in training exercises -- producing sonic booms as they raced through the sound barrier that disrupted civilian life and caused property damage. The film represents a public relations effort by Koppers Co., which made sound deadening equipment, attempting to equate the sound of a sonic boom with freedom.  Producer Koppers Co. is a global chemical and materials company based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At the time this film was made, Koppers had just launched a Noise Control division and was manufacturing prefabricated sound traps. The film features the F-104 Starfighter and the F-105 Thunderchief,  a supersonic fighter-bomber used by the United States Air Force that was capable of Mach 2. 

Title: Koppers Company, Inc. presents Mission: Sonic Boom (:07-:42). F-104 planes fly in the air, an explosion is heard.

This ten minute featurette from 1956 serves as an extended preview of Cecil B. DeMille’s forthcoming epic drama “The Ten Commandments,” narrated by DeMille himself. The director takes us on a tour of the life of Moses, illustrated with clips of the film and works of classical art.

Cecil Blount DeMille (1881 – 1959) was an American film director and producer. Between 1914 and 1958, he made 70 features, both silent and sound films. He is acknowledged as a founding father of the American cinema and the most commercially successful producer-director in film history. His films were distinguished by their epic scale and by his cinematic showmanship.

“The Ten Commandments” is a 1956 American epic religious drama film produced, directed, and narrated by DeMille. The film dramatizes the biblical story of the life of Moses, an adopted Egyptian prince who becomes the deliverer of his real brethren, the enslaved Hebrews, and thereafter leads the Exodus to Mount Sinai, where he receives, from God, the Ten Commandments. Filmed on location in Egypt, Mount Sinai, and the Sinai Peninsula, the film was DeMille's last and most successful work. It is a partial remake of his 1923 silent film of the same title, and features one of the largest sets ever created for a film. The film was released to cinemas in the United States on November 8, 1956, and, at the time of its release, was the most expensive film ever made.

This 1951 Coca-Cola sponsored film produced by Detroit, Michigan’s Jam Handy Studios pitches bottled cola as a tool for enhancing worker safety and productivity on the job in a variety of workplace scenarios (TRT 9:11).

Opening titles: “Your Coca-Cola Bottler presents Work Safely” and “Refreshment on the Job” (0:08). A woman in a yellow bathing suit reclines in a lounge chair beside a swimming pool and summons a bottle of Coca-Cola. She drinks a sip and mouths, “That’s fine” (0:27). A blue-collar man holds a bottle of Coke in one hand and scores a game of horseshoes with the other (0:45). A fit young man and an elder man, perhaps his father, sit on a front porch near a resting manual lawn mower. They toast and drink bottles of Coca-Cola (0:56). “A backyard supper” with two couples in sport coats and dresses sharing food and soda (1:22). A man sets down a bottle on top of a vending refrigerator cooler branded, “Drink Coca-Cola,” and unfolds a road map (1:39). Two young men and a girl seated between them cheer on an unseen sporting event from bleachers (1:51). A young man in a work uniform uses a red vending machine to purchase a coke, then uses the machine’s built-in bottle opener. An older man in a fedora joins him and does the same. The young man deposits his empty bottle in a rack and dons safety glasses (2:01). The young man stands behind a piece of heavy machinery in a factory, taking a measurement of diameter (2:39). African American factory workers in hardhats pass a vending machine. White workers do the same.

Made for film students and budding cinematographers, this silent film gives instructions about the features of the Bell &amp; Howell 70-DL motion picture camera, sometimes referred to as a "Filmo". It also shows how to load and operate the three lens, turreted, parallax viewfinder camera. The DL model of the camera was produced circa 1951-1954, so this film likely dates to that era. (Note: The Filmo name was also used to identify a whole series of 16mm and / 8mm movie equipment made by Bell &amp; Howell, including cameras, projectors and accessories.)  

The Filmo 70 was the first spring motor-driven 16mm camera, built in 1923, the same year that 16mm film stock was introduced. In 1925 the Eyemo, a hand-held 35 mm camera based on the design of the Filmo 70 was offered. It was also spring driven, but could be hand-cranked as well. The 16mm Filmo cameras, like the one shown in the film, all take 16mm film on a 100 ft (30 m) daylight spools, although some versions can also take 400 ft (120 m) external magazines. Spring wind is standard, although some Filmos have provisions for attachment of a 12 V DC or AC motor. A crystal-sync motor was developed for the Eyemo and later adapted to the Filmo. Early versions (such as the Filmo 70A and 70C) were designed for two speeds, either 8 and 16 frame/s, or 16 and 32 frame/s, with one option for a 12-16-24 frame/s 3-speed camera. Starting with the Model D in 1927, most versions could shoot a range of speeds up to 64 frames per second (the later model DL shown in the film could shoot 8-12-16-24-32-48-64 frame/s), although there was a superspeed version, the 70-B (1925), designed to run at a single speed of 128 frame/s. This produced an extreme slow-motion effect and was used for motion analysis. The Model 70-E (1935) was a turretless version of the Model D, with a shorter range of speeds (8-16...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a02edd70-de10-4ed3-b32f-14049e624c20/b75ff847-ddf6-47cf-929e-4f36ad04bd20-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kMfdw38kBpQgmrJQEkmCBj</video:player_loc><video:duration>815</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T11:49:07.288Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uykQpfwtAM9z631ZRp74Ni</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/91e7f915-adf9-44b8-89d8-c93bcbe0fbd7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1928 WORLD WAR I  SILENT FEATURE FILM  "Q SHIPS"    WWI U-BOAT UNRESTRICTED SUBMARINE WARFARE 63834</video:title><video:description>Part 2: https://youtu.be/hnzjlxHuqpU

Created in 1928, the silent feature "Q-Ships" takes place on the high seas of the Atlantic in World War I. The "Q-Ships" in question were part of an English ruse to tackle the U-boat threat: normal looking merchant vessels were converted to carry weapons, in hopes of luring an unsuspecting enemy raider to its demise. The film presents an interesting look at the WWI battle for maritime supremacy, which preceded and in many ways predicted WWII's "Battle of the Atlantic". The use of convoys, hydrophones and other means to detect U-boats, and other innovations are shown. What's particularly fascinating about this film is that it utilizes real U-boats and Q-ships in the production. The film was originally produced by New Era Productions, an English film company which made a number of semi-documentary features based on historical fact. The films presented a combination of real heroes, actual World War I footage and studio scenes that gave a feel of a real war. Copyright 1928, Part 1 of 2.  Note: this particular print is a re-release from Blackhawk.

Opening text explains how the film was made and what it is about (:36-2:10). The Headquarters of the "U" boat commanders at Bruges. Captain Von Hagg, Chief of Staff at Flanders U-Boat Base. Von Hagg speaks to his men. A submarine blows up a merchant sea vessel (2:11-4:59). Two men watch from the submerged U-Boat and then return inside to descend underwater. The Captain seems less than enthused with what they're doing. The merchant ship burns at sea (5:00-6:44). News is given to the British about the sinking. They discuss. A merchant vessel, the USS St. Julien, at sea (note: this is apparently the ship TSS St Julien,  a passenger vessel built for the Great Western Railway in 1925).

This black and white film from the United Kingdom documents the manufacturing of Exide brand automotive batteries and most likely dates from the early 1950’s. You’ll see footage of batteries being built from start to finish, as well as the real-world applications of wet cell batteries in everyday life. Produced by World Wide Pictures, written by Stephen Clarkson and John Krish, produced by Hindle Edgar, directed by John Krish.

An automotive battery is a rechargeable battery that is used to start a motor vehicle. Its main purpose is to provide an electric current to the electric-powered starting motor, which in turn starts the chemically powered internal combustion engine that actually propels the vehicle. Early cars did not have batteries, as their electrical systems were limited. Car batteries became widely used around 1920 as cars became equipped with electric starter motors.

Prepared for the home market, this silent WWII era Excel Newsreel was sold in Sears and other department stores for viewing by the American public.  The film shows Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Italy in 1943, and contains some great shots of General George S. Patton in command of invasion forces.   Operation Husky, was a major World War II campaign, in which the Allies took Sicily from the Axis Powers (Italy and Nazi Germany). It was a big amphibious and airborne operation, followed by a six-week land campaign and was the beginning of the Italian Campaign.Husky began on the night of 9/10 July 1943, and ended on 17 August. Strategically, Husky achieved the goals set out for it by Allied planners; the Allies drove Axis air, land and naval forces from the island and the Mediterranean sea lanes were opened for Allied merchant ships for the first time since 1941. Benito Mussolini was toppled from power in Italy and the way was opened for the invasion of Italy. Hitler "canceled a major offensive at Kursk after only a week, in part to divert forces to Italy," resulting in a reduction of German strength on the Eastern Front.The invasion of Sicily, code-named Operation Husky, began before dawn on July 10, 1943, with combined air and sea landings involving 150,000 troops, 3,000 ships and 4,000 aircraft, all directed at the southern shores of the island. This massive assault was nearly cancelled the previous day when a summer storm arose and caused serious difficulties for paratroopers dropping behind enemy lines that night. However, the storm also worked to the Allies’ advantage when Axis defenders along the Sicilian coast judged that no commander would attempt amphibious landings in such wind and rain. By the afternoon of July 10, supported by shattering naval and aerial bombardments of enemy positions, 150,000 All...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5427b7b8-7d0f-442d-af4f-80d6910cfd84/82a83ba9-8a52-40f9-a4e3-11659a21689a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/boJ8YkQrmSTHsERgMgEkNL</video:player_loc><video:duration>660</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T12:16:18.479Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hL8hm5K5fqQdfsLvTdhmEC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7da2180e-e553-47d8-817c-08a565637ce9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“THE NAVY’S DEVELOPMENTS IN VERTICAL REPLENISHMENT” 1963 U.S. NAVY HELICOPTER SUPPLY SYSTEMS  11894</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This film takes a look at the marine journey to Prudhoe Bay from Seattle and Tacoma Washington in order to develop an Alaskan oil reserve which was to be under contract of Atlantic Richfield Company or ARCO. The Alaskan northern slope remains icy for most of the year and receives little rainfall (:13). Summers are brief and caribou are seen returning to their traditional calving grounds (:25). In 1968, ARCO's operating area in Prudhoe Bay is pictured (:49) and this was part of a large-scale mission to reach some 10 million barrels of oil which were located in natural reserves under the tundra (:58). The pipeline was to be completed in 1977 and required thousands of tons of equipment to be shipped to the area (1:09). In May of 1975, a convoy moved from Houston, Texas through the Panama Canal and around Mexico (1:29) to a port on Puget Sound. A major industrial complex was constructed in Seattle and Tacoma for transport to Prudhoe Bay (1:39). Modules were built in interlocking sections (2:02) These were self-contained fully equipped flow stations, gas injection plants and fuel processing systems insulated with steel encased walls (2:37). The central compressor plant was comprised of 41 separate units (2:47). The process of moving the modules begins (3:30) and it would take about a month to load 30 barges up with modules and 100,000 tons of equipment. These were packed tightly and the modules were welded down in order to prevent damage on the long trip (4:13). Tug boats lead the convoy as it set out to sea (4:34). The goal was to reach a point southwest of Barrow by the end of July (4:37) as the ice pack should have naturally moved off shore enough for passage. Observer’s had reported unusually bad ice conditions in the area (5:01). The route the convoy was to take is pointed to (5:33) and...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8014c99e-6620-4485-91ba-608c418e2653/c792dd24-ea51-42f5-a787-2aa539a471d5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gPk4Tx6FVL2nnkhM819WrR</video:player_loc><video:duration>1446</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T12:21:57.445Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tm47H8BBXnVRfQEzcZ7zBj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dc82712c-bef3-45f6-9270-9205772445b7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BOEING 377 STRATOCRUISER AIRCRAFT -- TOMORROWS AIRPLANE TODAY WITH SOUND 70942b</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Created by acclaimed filmmaker Jerry Fairbanks for the Boeing Co. in the immediate post-WWII era, "Tomorrow's Airplane Today" celebrates the Stratocruiser.

The film features rare views of the Boeing plant in Seattle as it looked during WWII -- completely covered in camouflage netting and paint.  It also shows various Boeing products including the B-29 upon which the Stratocruiser was based.

The Boeing 377 Stratocruiser was a large long-range airliner developed from the C-97 Stratofreighter military transport, a derivative of the B-29 Superfortress. The Stratocruiser's first flight was on July 8, 1947. Its design was advanced for its day, its innovative features included two passenger decks and a pressurized cabin, a relatively new feature to transport aircraft. It could carry up to 100 passengers on main deck plus 14 in lower deck lounge; typical seating was for 63 or 84 passengers or 28 berthed and five seated passengers.

The Stratocruiser was larger than the Douglas DC-6 and Lockheed Constellation and cost more to buy and operate. Its reliability was poor, chiefly due to problems with the four 28-cylinder Pratt &amp; Whitney Wasp Major radial engines and their four-blade propellers. Only 55 Model 377s were built for airlines, along with the single prototype.

This silent German film "Mit Kruezer Emden In Die Welt" (With the Cruiser Emden in the World) shows the exploits of the light cruiser Emden just before World War II, starting with footage shot in 1936/1937. The film shows the ship cruising to Cagliari, Sardinia at 1:14, with rare footage shot aboard the ship showing crew activities including cleaning, sewing, laundry, etc. At 2:30 the ship arrives to a heroic welcome in Sardinia. At 3:03, the title card states "a visit to the Opera Ballila", or the Opera Nazionale Balilla, which was the Italian version of the Hitler Youth. At 3:56, the ship goes to the Dardanelles and via the Bosporus to Varna, Bulgaria (4:28). At 4:55, a title card indicates that Turkish migrants are being shown, apparently refugees from Ataturk (although our translation of the title card may be erroneous). At 5:43, the commander of the Emden places a wreath at the WWI Bulgarian naval memorial. At 6:00, memorials for fallen German soldiers are seen in Bulgaria and similar honors paid. At 6:30, King Boris visits the Emden.  At 7:30 the ship returns through the Bosporus. At 8:20 views of Constantinople are seen, including the Golden Tower and at 9:00 the Hagia Sofia.  At 9:45 honors are paid to German war dead who helped defend the Bosporus from the Australian expeditionary force that assaulted it during WWI during the Gallipoli Campaign, also known as the Dardanelles Campaign.

Emden was built by the Reichsmarine in the early 1920s. She was the only ship of her class and was the first large warship built in Germany after the end of World War I. She was built at the Reichsmarinewerft in Wilhelmshaven; her keel was laid in December 1921 and her completed hull was launched in January 1925. Emden was commissioned into the German fleet in October 1925. Her design was heavily...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/59cdd85c-d132-4271-877f-d47b54d45adf/65315dde-d263-4e61-b151-77318b0f487c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/c6bHfHRG7ycteRuRTe9WVn</video:player_loc><video:duration>645</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T12:24:23.886Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/h4ZFJoo7M5vPgNirNJqBqK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5756f2eb-d488-4320-b5ed-e6e7814de5a7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ DITCHING TECHNIQUES FOR TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT ” 1958 USAF TRAINING FILM  MATS DC-6  46134</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dating to the mid-to-late 1960s, this silent film shows various equipment mock-ups for the Apollo program, including motion range studies for spacesuits and a mock-up of the Lunar Roving Vehicle or LVR. It was probably shot at the Marshall Space Flight Center. The film is one of many made to demonstrate astronaut mobility. The film begins with shots of subjects getting into spacesuits which appear similar in design to those worn in the Mercury era. Most likely these are A4-H designs, made by Hamilton Standard for ILC Industries. ILC  produced these suits specifically for training in the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) prototypes in 1965. The A4-H is also known as a "mobility" suit because it allowed the astronaut to sit, unlike previous suit designs. NASA accepted delivery of twelve of these suits for use in the LRV program, but they didn't go any further than that, as the broad, conical shoulder joints in these suits would not fit into the Apollo Command Module. At 2:43, a small Lunar Rover mobility test article created by Brown Engineering (now Teledyne Brown Engineering Company) is shown. This golf-cart-style, two-man vehicle was built at Werner von Braun's direction and famously test driven by Von Braun in 1966). After a demonstration of how a man in a space suit could access the mock-ups controls, the astronaut attempts to demonstrate how a scientific apparatus would be assembled at 5:30. He initially fails -- he drops the instrument -- but then recovers and utilizes it. The device appears to be a 3-D camera on a surveyor-type measuring post. At 9:30 another instrument is retrieved from the "rover". At 9:34, the astronaut falls over and drops the measuring device again. A flight surgeon who is monitoring the astronaut's vital signs cringes. The astronaut is able to return to his work, and sets up and stows a series of i...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8db46daf-3684-442b-8c2f-efc3cba62055/057ef543-a8db-4d7a-af0c-c757d89fb77f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iuUjMcj9RWfEiJyUtvMVRg</video:player_loc><video:duration>1066</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T12:27:26.888Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eKFktpmCefcW3F3z8EAHgd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d4a46dbb-3b55-4c87-9955-289b28c11ac4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GRUMMAN MOBILITY TEST ARTICLE    APOLLO PROGRAM LUNAR ROVING VEHICLE MOCK-UP / PROTOTYPE   XD31414</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) is a battery-powered four-wheeled rover used on the Moon in the last three missions of the American Apollo program (15, 16, and 17) during 1971 and 1972. Before the design was finalized, engineers envisioned an entire spectrum of possible configurations. Some of these ideas relied on the belief that NASA might use two Saturn V's in a single mission, to support the delivery of large payloads of equipment to the Moon. NASA also issued contracts for pressurized vehicle studies, which would permit lunar exploration missions lasting days or weeks far from any lunar base. The vehicle shown in the film, a Mobility Test Article concept for the Lunar Roving Vehicle, was conceived and built by Grumman for NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). Battery powered, the MTA used electric motors. However, the belief in the two Saturn V concept began to evaporate in the later 1960s, and as NASA's budget became constrained, the pressurized concepts were shelved in favor of the much lighter weight and shorter range moon buggy LRV.

This black and white travelogue film from 1951 showcases Atlantic City, New Jersey. You’ll see the famous boardwalk and beach, scenes from the 1951 Miss America parade, the nearby Atlantic City Race Track, boats for both sight seeing and sport fishing, and general amusements and attractions for all ages. Released by Castle Films, copyright United World Films, Inc.

Atlantic City is a coastal resort city in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States, known for its casinos, boardwalk, and beaches. Beginning as a popular “health resort” in the 1870’s, railroad companies and land speculators constructed grand hotels along a seven mile long boardwalk that drew thousands of visitors each year. The region’s golden era arrived in the 1920’s, with tourism at its peak, and as Prohibition went largely unenforced city-wide. Like many older east coast cities after World War II, Atlantic City became plagued with poverty, crime, corruption, and general economic decline in the mid-to-late 20th century. In 1976, New Jersey voters legalized casino gambling in Atlantic City. Since 1921, Atlantic City has been the home of the Miss America pageant. Atlantic City also inspired the U.S. version of the board game Monopoly, especially the street names.

This silent film, "Lunar Surface Task Analysis for Apollo Experiments Support" is one of a series produced by NASA's George C. Marshall Flight Center. It shows training / testing of both spacesuits and a moon vehicle mock-up. The film is silent but there does appear to be a plot -- its seems to show the rescue of one astronaut by another after a rock collection goes awry. The spacesuits shown appear similar to those used in Project Mercury, and likely pre-date Apollo. The mock-up shown is an early version of the MOLAB, which was initially developed by Northrop beginning in 1963 as an Apollo Logistics Support System. (MOLAB was also known as the "MGL" for "Mobile Geological Laboratory"). This vehicle concept evolved from the study contract NAS8-11096. This vehicle mock up concept was constructed at MSFC and was used later to study the human factors aspect of conduction lunar exploration missions.This concept was to be flown to the Moon using a separate Saturn V vehicle and landed automatically there. MOLAB was never fully developed due to weight considerations, but nevertheless a (much different than shown) working prototype version was created, built and developed by GM engineer Vic Hickey. It was powered by a Corvair engine. NASA used MOLAB for seven years, developing moon suits for the Apollo astronauts (who actually trained in and drove MOLAB in the New Mexico desert).

Part 2: https://youtu.be/fYZE2s3ytNc

Produced by the Army Film and Photographic Unit and the Royal Air Force Film Production Unit, this black-and-white film is Part 1 of “Desert Victory,” exploring the Battle for North Africa during World War II. The picture is dedicated to the men of the Eight Army. With that, the scene moves to a barren landscape at mark 01:30. At mark 04:00, the film takes the viewer to El Alamein, where two decisive battles in 1942 had taken place. We are shown Field Marshal Claude Auchinleck, a British Army commander who was Commander-in-Chief of the Middle East theatre (but later relieved of command during the crucial Alamein campaign). The British are shown successfully defending their position from German artillery and fighters near mark 06:00, and at mark 07:00 are visited by Prime Minister Winston Churchill in August 1942. (The British Eighth Army had all but exhausted itself after the first battle of El Alamein in July 1942, and the visit was as much a morale boost for the troops as it was a review of Auchinleck, who was replaced as Commander-in-Chief Middle East Command by General Harold Alexander). Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery was named commander of the Eighth Army.Alexander’s primary mission as commander was to take on and defeat German Field Marshall Erwin Rommel, whose control of much of Egypt threatened the British Commonwealth’s Suez Canal. To that end, the film reminds its viewer (at mark 08:30) that British men and women at home were at work in factories to make certain supplies and armaments were always being made available. Scenes of workers on assembly lines and in aircraft factories fill the screen, and at mark 09:37, the viewer is told that workers in the United States are also contributing to the war effort, especially in the creation of the Sherman tank.At mark 13:51, we catch a glimpse of Rommel in some of the captured German footage, and exp...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5a55fb97-18b6-4bc9-a659-67a681de1ce0/c19ef9c4-e661-4c52-b9a9-492e9e4a1af1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/c9ZBKuGVTZg5vo3abnJC7m</video:player_loc><video:duration>2389</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T12:34:38.349Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wScyDJNDwRAnrTcimVZufc</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/57130532-9104-4b5b-a1d2-77d33f2c574c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s “KINGDOM OF THE SEA” TV SHOW EPISODE  PORTS OF THE WORLD  PANAMA CANAL  HONG KONG   XD31384</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This film shows mobility tests for one of the first prototype spacesuits submitted by the International Latex Corporation to NASA. The SPD-143 model was part of the 1962 Apollo program suit competition. NASA called the suit an AX1-L (the designation "A" for the Apollo program, X for experimental, 1 for first in a series, and L for manufacturer ILC) or the "Modified Training and Evaluation Suit". The suit's peculiar look, with joints and connectors forming an exoskeleton, was to allow an assessment of these parts. Twenty SPD-143 suits were made for training and assessment, and used for early evaluations of the Lunar Excursion Module (later changed to Lunar Module) and the Command Module. Note that the  helmet shown lacks an eye protection sun visor. Vic Vykukal was the principal investigator of the AX space suit series.

This film "Tale of the armored train" was produced in 1977 by "Letapis", the historical service of the Belorusfilm. It is narrated by Nicholas Vinogorov and directed by M. Zhdanovski. This short documentary tells the story of the Prolygin's "armored train" which helped the fledgling Soviet government gain the upper hand in the battle for Minsk in November 1917. The film features an interview with Pavel Zhukovin, a train engineer's assistant who witnessed the events. The actual train shown is not Prolygin's actual train, but a recreation. The original train was made from jerry-rigged, heavy hopper cars with bolted-on light armor, and armed with two 37-mm artillery pieces and eight machine guns. The train improved morale for the Minsk's Soviets and may have had more symbolic than actual military value. The train was damaged, repaired and upgraded many times during the Russian Civil War ranging from Ukraine to Siberia. It was then dismantled for spare parts sometime between 1924 and 1930.

This early 1950’s color travelogue showcasing the then Territory of Alaska is also an advertisement for Old Gold cigarettes. We’re dropped in media res into the natural wonders of the soon-to-be state, and afterwards the film transitions into how the residents of Alaska live. We’re shown both newer homesteaders and the burgeoning cities of the North, and the film even focuses on the rituals of some indigenous peoples of the region. The final quarter follows a United States Air Force unit as they take off to patrol against Soviet incursion. An Alan Shilin Production.

This 1970s color film (probably 1978), produced by the field photographic unit of the U.S. Naval Underwater Systems Center (NUSC) in Newport, Rhode Island, focuses on containerized, automated torpedo carrying systems designed for Los Angeles-class “688” submarines (TRT 8:55).

Dating to 1945, this restricted WWII training film was produced by the War Department. It features animation that was likely done by the Warner Bros. studios with voices by Mel Blanc. The film looks at the sophisticated remote control turret system and firing computer used on board the aircraft. The analog computers in the B-29 central fire control system made corrections in three main areas to accurately aim the aircraft’s guns: ballistics, lead, and parallax. The B-29 was the first production aircraft to use them to remotely aim and fire aircraft gun turrets. The system in the B-29 employed analog electromechanical computers that used small, electrically-driven mechanical switches, called relays, instead of levers and gears. These devices were significantly faster than strictly mechanical computers. 

The cartoon opens as an animated man shoots a machine gun in a 1940s arcade game. The character is great at the game and gets sucked into the selective service office 1:15. The man winds up in a B-29 1:40. The man explores the plane while the narrator speaks. He’s frustrated because he just wants to shoot guns but the purpose of the film is to teach that shooting is less about guns and more about mindset and training – and the technology of the GE Reflector Gunsight 2:28. The movie is also about highlighting the advanced technology in firepower possessed by the B-29 overall. Cartoon character fires a cannon from a rampart at a passing ship and needs to account for “lead” 3:10. The animation goes on to show the problems that guns needed to compensate for in the past 3:20. In air combat the gunner has to fire from a moving platform to hit a moving target 3:45. The modern gunner has a remote control turret system 4:15. A sight, a computer and the actual guns 4:30. The computer solves all the problems of a mod...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0eeb8d70-9516-478d-a395-5b08fda3eebe/742f6154-cebc-4483-95f5-4b6f8290e191-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2QRQwemYmmzfX1rvs5jnTL</video:player_loc><video:duration>867</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T12:55:08.772Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xdDmGPUZX72MyFKm53J2x3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9a83d77d-b2ef-4169-9b12-6f5a4b4b9418.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1920’s “ REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY OF NEW ENGLAND ” TRAVELOGUE / EDUCATIONAL FILM  MASSACHUSETTS  MAINE</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This silent, black and white travelogue is the second of a two part series (we don't have part one) on the Regional Geography of New England. Covering Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire, the film shows overviews of industry, towns and cities, historic sites, and a tour of some of the august institutions of higher learning in the region. Though not dated, we believe this film was shot in the late 1910’s to early 1920’s because at 08:52 we’re shown the Washington Elm in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which died in 1923. (Trivia: at 09:11 the statue “The Lexington Minuteman” by Henry Hudson Kitson is misidentified as “The Minute Man” by Daniel Chester French.) Produced by the Society for Visual Education.

Dating to 1975, this color movie was produced as part of an EPA initiative to document a wet pulping process used for the recovery, recycling and disposal of municipal solid waste. The demonstration $2 million facility constructed by the Black Clawson Co. in Littletown, Ohio. It consisted of three major systems: hydrasposal, fibre recovery, and glass and aluminum recovery. 

The movie opens on a street in a suburb as men collect the trash. About half (50%) of the trash collected in America is paper :36. The trash arrives at the municipal, sanitary landfill :47. This trash rots, blows away and can cause a serious health threat 1:00. Black Clawson has developed a wet system which provides a method of reclaiming paper fibre, glass and metal so they can be recycled into our economy. The Back Clawson Company presents, Hydrasposal Fibreclaim. Solid Waste Systems for Municipalities and Industry. A front loader scoops up trash at the dump 2:15.

At the input end of the pilot plan, refuse is collected and put onto a conveyor belt which supplies material to the Hydropulper at the rate of 1 ton per hour 3:46. This is residential trash 4:00. Familiar items like plastic bags enter the Hydropulper 4:20. As items fall into the vortex, they are dispersed almost immediately 4:49. Items that are not ground-up such as metal, cans, rocks and bones are ejected out of the side of the pulper or through a chute 5:18. Most of the metal is rejected by the pulper and at this point and can be analyzed for metal reclamation 5:27. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1e2e8199-6dda-4461-9a8e-6379f206db19/9d71604a-1ad5-4dd9-87af-0d6eec0a542c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4JauKveXcEosQ1FPftattp</video:player_loc><video:duration>625</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T12:57:45.845Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dfzhCiBFuTiNzwAGo8RD6T</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e1e3d298-b43e-407f-acc1-b27cd2272a86.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“  JACKIE ROBINSON ” 1963 BIOGRAPHY TV EPISODE 1st AFRICAN AMERICAN IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL XD45434</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This episode of the television series “Biography” centers on the life of Major League baseball legend Jackie Robinson, and originally aired in 1963. We follow Robinson from his impoverished childhood, athletic success in high school and college, his color barrier-breaking career in professional baseball, and end with his retirement as an executive for the Chock full o'Nuts Coffee Company (and Hall of Fame induction). Hosted by Mike Wallace, written and directed by Alan Landsburg.

Jack Roosevelt Robinson (1919 – 1972) was an American professional baseball player who became the first African American to play in Major League Baseball in the modern era. During his 10-year MLB career, Robinson won the inaugural Rookie of the Year Award in 1947, was an All-Star for six consecutive seasons, played in six World Series and contributed to the Brooklyn Dodgers' 1955 World Series championship. Robinson's character, his use of nonviolence, and his talent challenged the traditional basis of segregation that had then marked many other aspects of American life. He influenced the culture of and contributed significantly to the civil rights movement. Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. In 1997, MLB retired his uniform number 42 across all major league teams; he was the first professional athlete in any sport to be so honored.

This film was created for sales personnel of Chevrolet (:04) and it is comprised of two different segments, the first about the 1971 Nova and the second about the 1971 Vega. The Nova was manufactured from 1962-79 and 1985-88 model years. It begins with a re-enactment of a survey commissioned by Nationwide Consumers Testing Institute of owners and operators of independent garage and service facilities as to which car required the least amount of service (:50). An actress named Gail Kennedy goes from service station to service station to question mechanics about this and they each reply with the Nova (1:26).

Tests are conducted on the door (2:38), windshield wipers (2:51), seat upholstery (3:00) and on the gas tank (3:06). A comparison of the Nova’s interior features to the competitor’s interior features follows pointing to the concealed antenna (4:36), roll down rear windows (4:45), the counter balanced hood (4:55), foot operated parking brake (5:16) and the steel cargo guard in the trunk of Nova’s (6:18). The Nova was also equipped with protective inner fenders (7:29) and the hood is removed to give viewers a closer look (7:34).

This 1964 black and white film "The Inheritance" celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America by outlining the improvements the union has won for clothing workers over its five decades.

It is a story of the birth of organized labor and the Amalgamated Union. At the time the film was released, the Amalgamated had 385,000 members working in the apparel and related industries, and in laundries, cleaning and dyeing plants and retail stores.

This movie was produced by Zoyuzkinokronika (later known as Central Studio) and features footage from 1935 spliced with additional footage shot in 1937-38. (At the time there was a showcase celebrating Chkalov's first successful non-stop flight to USA.) The film portrays the Central Park of Rest and Recreation of Maxim Gorky in Moscow, now known as Gorky Park, and its highlights. It contains a rare glimpse @2:40 at the early Soviet advertisement culture, much deplored by the contemporary writers, which aggressively featured slogans and mascots, and which was unknown and forgotten by the postwar USSR.

This mid-1970s TV commercial features Helene Curtis' product "Arm in Arm" -- the first spray deodorant to contain baking soda and one of the earliest types of these products to be advertised as "all natural". Apparently the product's name was too similar to the popular "Arm and Hammer" baking soda, as brand owners Church and Dwight sued Helene Curtis for infringement in 1975 and the product was withdrawn. We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

This rarely seen, black and white theatrical short-subject film from 1946 or 1947 compiles a series of newsreel vignettes about modern women. This one features a 16-year-old piano prodigy; a polio survivor turned glass engraver, a Li’l Abner-inspired “Sadie Hawkins Week”, and a women’s wrestling match (TRT 10:02).

Dating to 1976 and released by Dow Chemical's public affairs office, this film "Man's Material Wealth" presents a speech by Rich DeVos, the president of Amway Corporation. In the film, DeVos references the Cold War struggle between the Democracies of the West and the Socialist nations of the East, contrasting the fundamentals of the free enterprise economic system against socialism. The key formula presented in the film, developed by the American Economic Foundation (AEF, is MMW = NR + HE x T, meaning that Man's Material Wealth equals Natural Resources plus Human Energy times Tools. (The AEF was organized in Cleveland by Fred G. Clark in 1939 to promote the libertarian ideals of a free market and limited government, but ceased to exist in 2003.)  In this instance, the "tools" DeVos is referring to are anything that allows us to be more productive (computers, trucks, airplanes, etc.) DeVos' thesis is that private ownership of "the tools" cause men to take better care of them and to work harder for the rewards. By owing the tools, socialist nations are able to enslave their people, whereas in a free enterprise nation, men are free. Every citizen, DeVos says, needs to understand the socialistic and free enterprise systems and needs to be able to distinguish -- and choose -- between them. 

Richard "Rich" Marvin DeVos Sr. (1926 – 2018) was an American billionaire businessman, co-founder of the multi-level marketing business Amway with Jay Van Andel (company restructured as Alticor in 2000), and owner of the Orlando Magic basketball team.

Made to educate Chevrolet sales personnel, this 1972 film focuses on Chevrolet recreational vehicles. The film looks at the proper pairing between vehicle and trailer as well as available equipment according to Chevy. It opens with a montage of cars being loaded up for vacation or recreational activity ending with the El Camino (:23). The Chevy Custom Camper 20 fleetside is shown carrying a slide in camper (1:10) and equipped with a girder beam front suspension (1:10). A closer look at the front stabilizer bar is given (1:26). Throughout the film, contrast between Chevy models and competitor models are given including one here without a front stabilizer bar (1:38). The popular shell camper (2:17) sits on top of the Chevy C10 fleetside pickup. An excerpt from a Chevrolet television commercial follows with a look at the water resistance of the front disk brakes (2:45). The engines Chevrolet had available are shown including the most powerful V8 they had and these could be run on leaded, unleaded or regular gasoline (3:51). A demonstration between the Chevy double paneled roof and the competitor’s roof plays out (4:07). Other features include the inner fader liners (4:21) and the double wall pickup box construction (4:30). A diagram showing that 55% of 1956’s Chevrolet models were still on the road (5:02) follows. The El Camino, which was considered a half truck half car vehicle, is pictured towing a travel trailer (5:07). Its features include bucket seats, center control console (5:18), adjustable air boosters, and rear shock absorbers (5:39). An add on feature is the fifth wheel hitching or trailering device (5:45). The Chevy Van with a raised roof camper conversion (6:00) follows with a close up of the stabilizer bar (6:27), factory installed air conditioning, and power steering (6:36).

This silent footage, apparently from a Hollywood production, shows a prisoner being taken for execution on the electric chair at Sing Sing Prison. Known as "Old Sparky", the chair was first used for a mass execution on July 7, 1891. In its 75 years of operation, a total of 695 men and women were executed by the electric chair in New York state (614 at Sing Sing). Eddie Lee Mays, electrocuted at Sing Sing on August 15, 1963, was the last person to be executed in New York state.

This silent black and white film compiled by Harvard University’s Department of Anthropology and distributed by Pathé Exchange, Inc. shows early footage of Mongolians  riding horses, wearing traditional hairstyles and clothing, and demonstrating the customs of their nomadic tribal lifestyles (TRT 12:41).

Opening titles, “Passed by the National Board of Review” (0:14). Title card: “In the heart of Asia lie the upland steppes of Mongolia” (0:50). A simple map of Asia. An animated arrow draws a dotted line and indicates Mongolia. Another arrow shows the Eastern Gobi Desert steppe (0:54). “Since this was the original home of the horse, the people have long been fine horsemen” (1:18). Horsemen wrangle horses in a dusty field, diving and falling to the ground, shaking long whips, pulling stubborn animals with ropes, and wrestling them, grabbing at their manes. Horses are herded into a cluster (1:27). Title: “The Mongols catch their horses with loops attached to the ends of long poles.” The scene continues. More struggling horses are ensnared. One horse kicks its hind legs as a man raises his arms intimidatingly. Piles of firewood are stacked in the background (1:54). Title: “Mounted, they line up for a race.” A new scene shows a circle of men on horseback, riding slowly in careful precision. A closeup shows young men with shaved heads wearing loose-fitting robes, seated upon thin leather saddles. In a jump cut, the horses charge ahead, speeding into the desert scrub. The riders whip their small horses frequently. “The victor” is shown, riding solo (2:57). A young man in closeup, pulling the reins of his standing horse (4:23).

This color medical film from the U.S. Veterans Administration describes the treatment and therapy modes available for aphasic patients, in this case WWII war veterans. The film is a reminder of the 670,000 men wounded during the conflict, many of whom suffered long term disability. Aphasia can occur suddenly after a stroke or head injury, or develop slowly from a growing brain tumor or disease. Aphasia affects a person's ability to express and understand written and spoken language.Once the underlying cause is treated, the main treatment for aphasia is speech therapy. Copyright is circa the mid-1950s. 

Opening titles: Testing And Individual Therapy For The Aphasic Patient (:07-:41). Four men sit in a hospital exam room. They are all aphasic - they have a language disorder that affects their ability to communicate. A wounded veteran walks into an office and sits down, a woman works with him. A veteran uses tools. A wounded man walks out of a car with a cane. A veteran walks with a slight limp (:42-3:21). A wounded veteran explains what happened to him. Veterans eat food at a dinner table. A man with a bandage over his eye is met by a doctor. His reflexes are checked by the doctor. His feet are then touched (3:22-5:28). The man's visuals are checked. A Hawaiian veteran has his brain waves checked. A psychological evaluation for a veteran given by a female. She checks his speech patterns and then asks him a simple math question from a photo, he has trouble with it (5:29-7:29). The veteran is given a maze to try and get himself out of on a piece of paper. A female therapist speaks to the viewer about evaluating patients. A veteran is asked questions and answers them (7:30-9:13). A veteran is asked to do a projective test with pictures and placement. A veteran takes a test where he is to ma...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ea1a2248-3f91-4035-bd0d-4b907908f89f/9f66d2c6-36d4-4eec-a1f2-aa3e50418fcb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uUEfMmhaUzFH5ohDCM6Frz</video:player_loc><video:duration>1654</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T13:24:01.281Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pT8ndR7cJx5YwyTFfQoz3t</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d360695c-d490-4cef-84fe-a3e9009bf515.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>JOHN NASH OTT " TIME LAPSE PHOTOGRAPHY "  16mm &amp; 35mm MOTION PICTURE CAMERA SLOW MOTION EFFECT 97254</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Produced by Burton Holmes Films during WWII, this black &amp; white educational film is about Capacitance, the ability of a system to store an electric charge. It was made to educate U.S. Navy Radio Technicians and was probably standard viewing during training. Typical of government films made during the WWII timeframe, this film is outstanding in its use of both live action and animated sequences. Copyright is 1943. 

Opening titles: United States Navy Training Film - Capacitance (:06-:32). Two uniformed men play pool. A narrator explains the flow of current. Animation shows a current flow. Resistor is explained. A pool table. Ball is hit by a pool cue. Pool balls on the table. I = E/R (:33-2:15). A resistor and a circuit are explained. Movement of electrons shown with animation between A and B. A is negative and B is positive (2:16-4:04). More energy being stored with larger plates is shown via animation. A man uses a capacitor. A hand unscrews a cap holding air in a tire. Air tank gauges. When valve is opened, air rushes out (4:05-6:01). A man connects a power supply and charges a condenser. Voltage is increased. Q is quantity of electricity stored. Plate spacing. The plate area (6:02-8:09). The dielectric is an insulating material or a very poor conductor of electric current. When dielectrics are placed in an electric field, practically no current flows in them because, unlike metals, they have no loosely bound, or free, electrons that may drift through the material. Glass is used as a dielectric. Two or more condensers are used (8:10-9:40). Voltage source increases. A man performs a test with wires and condensers. Large condenser equals a larger spark. A screwdriver captures the spark. Title: end of part one (9:41-10:55).

This 1950s color promotional film from the Johns-Manville Corporation touts their Transite line of asbestos cement (AC) pipes, boasting of their product’s revolutionary convenience  (TRT 35:34). The asbestos cement pipes shown were expected to have a lifespan of 75 years. In recent decades there have been notable cases of AC pipe failure and detection of high levels of asbestos in the drinking water, including Woodstock, NY which experienced AC pipe issues in 1985

Dating to the mid-to-late 1960s, this silent film shows various equipment mock-ups for the Apollo program, including motion range studies for spacesuits in mock-ups of Lunar Roving Vehicles or LVRs. It was probably shot at the Marshall Space Flight Center. The film is one of many made to demonstrate astronaut mobility. The spacesuit shown is an early (possibly first prototype) which International Latex Corporation submitted to NASA as part of the Apollo suit competition in 1962, known as an SPD-143 model suit, (SPD for Special Products Division). NASA referred to this suit as being part of the AX1-L series and often referred to as a  "Modified Training and Evaluation Suit." The reason the suit looks strange to a modern viewer is that it does not have an outer shell, because the joint designs were considered in development and left exposed to allow further study. 

The film begins with shots of a vehicle that resembles the base of a Cushman Titan, Cushman Haulster or similar, which was apparently being used as a testbed to demonstrate an astronaut's ability to move his hands, arms and feet in the AX1-L spacesuit. At 3:31, the vehicle is driven out of the test area, with a second person (in a business suit) on the back. (The compressed bottle on the rear of the vehicle is hard to read but appears to say "Air Water" and a third word. Possibly this was used to provide oxygen to the "astronaut" or for simulation purposes). At 4:02 the Haulster pulls up next to a larger Lunar Rover mobility test article created by Brown Engineering (now Teledyne Brown Engineering Company). This golf-cart-style, two-man vehicle was built at Werner von Braun's direction and famously test driven by Von Braun in 1966). At 4:20 there is a a demonstration of how a man in a spacesuit could enter the vehicle and access the mock-ups controls.

NASAO, the National Association of State Aviation Officials and AOPA Foundation Inc. presents, The Flight Decision. Produced by Film Originals in 1955. Technical Director, Chet Moulten. 

This 1950s era, color film follows two pilots through their flight decision process relative to instrument flight vs. visual flight rules. The film examines why a pilot might make a poor decision while another makes a good decision, with laziness and overconfidence pointed to key factors in making a misjudgment. At the time, the film indicates that 85% of fatal accidents were due to pilot error. Current statistics indicate approximately 80 percent of airplane accidents are due to human error (pilots, air traffic controllers, mechanics, etc.) and 20 percent are due to machine (equipment) failures.

The film opens with a small private aircraft flying overhead, a Piper Cub with skis affixed 1:25. Man draws an airplane and a man on a blackboard. He illustrates that 5% of fatal accidents can be traced to the factory or equipment of an airplane 2:04. The man draws a pilot – pilots are responsible for 85% of total fatal airplane accidents 2:33. A man walks away from his Piper Cub 3:00. A pilot enters his car 3:20. A pilot lights a cigarette and speaks confidently about his flying prowess 3:34. Two men approach a plane and talk about doing stunts 3:56. A woman pilot sits in the cockpit 4:40. A VFR pilot walks from his plane 5:00. A pilot is indecisive as he lands his plane 5:20. Man and woman sit in a bar and order drinks 5:40. Pilot leaves his car and enters the hangar after having drinks and he takes off in poor weather 6:21. Piper J-3 Cub is covered in snow 6:30.

“Once Upon A Time” is an animated film made by Audio Productions. It was created to show the importance of being a careful and safe driver on streets and highways (:15). It is presented by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (:30) which has been in operation for over 145 years and is now known as MetLife. Title screen (:30). The first scene shows cartoon trains, buses and cars on a road (:58).  This unique driver safety cartoon, told through a clever song, created as part of an insurance company’s public education program. When Pandora opens her box, goblins “Carelessness” and “Discourtesy” escape to cause traffic accidents. Good fairies “Carefulness” and “Courtesy” charm the goblins back into the box.

In a girl’s room lay a wooden chest which two characters ‘Discourtesy’ and ‘Carelessness’ float out of (1:41). They are to represent bad driving habits throughout the town and begin by hopping into a taxi cab’s car and cause a hit and run accident (2:01). In another car the dubious pair cause the driver to run a red light (2:20). After the accident a boy steals a goose from the backseat and runs through a playground insinuating reckless and careless driving lead to other negative events (3:00). In the ‘Simple Simon’ pie truck, Discourtesy and Carelessness cause the driver to be distracted by eating one of the pies and he begins to weave all over the road (3:22).

Here are two films produced by Chevrolet in 1974-1975.  The first, "Lasting Value", was intended to be used as both a sales promotion tool, and a training film for salesmen. The movie emphasizes the value you get when buying a Chevrolet truck. (Some of the subtext of the film is doubtless the gas crunch, which hit the American consumer hard in this era.) The second film "1975 Chevy Pickups Lasting Value" starts at 9:30.

The movie opens with A. T. Olson, an assistant general sales manager for Chevrolet, speaking to the camera. A Chevy slogan; “Economy and Value Started with Chevy Trucks a Long Time Ago” 1:42.

Economy and value started with Chevrolet over half a century ago. An old time Chevrolet truck (1925) goes down the road 9:24. In 1975, Chevy’s pledge of economy and lasting value is just as valid as it was over 50 years ago. Lasting value. 1975 Chevy pickups including the Silverado 9:43.

General Motors Presents the ABC of the Gas Turbine. This is a 1973, color film created to explain the many benefits of the gas turbine engine, its many uses and efficiencies.

The film opens with footage of a Wilesco toy steam engine. Heat energy from the burning fuel is converted into mechanical energy. The expanding power of steam drives a piston and rod. This is demonstrated with an animation :47. The rod creates rotary motion and the cranking action turn shafts and wheels. Rotary motion can also be achieved by taking steam directly out of the boiler and directing the steam at wings on a wheel. This is shown via animation 1:11. This converts heat energy into mechanical energy. The example given is an external combustion engine with the fuel-burning outside 1:28. Gasoline and diesel engines are internal combustion engines and are displayed in animation 1:36. In these engines, internal combustion is combined with direct rotary motion 1:53. A bladed wheel air pump turns due to the heat exhaust from the internal combustion engine 2:16. The process begins with the intake of air, then compression, then power and finally exhaust. This is a centrifugal of engine 2:35. Some engines use an axial flow where the air is drawn in parallel to the axis of the shaft 3:00. Again the rotating blades like those on an ordinary fan accelerate the air adding velocity 3:15. Stationary blades decrease the air raising pressure 3:25. A fuel nozzle sprays the fuel 3:39. A spark plug fires, igniting the heat source 3:55. Shaft speed can be as high as 50,000 RPMs 4:20. This engine is virtually free of vibration 4:41. The gas turbine has many useful applications. If you taper the exhaust pipe so that it acts like a nozzle and speeds the velocity of the gases, you have a turbo jet engine 4:49. Turbo jet components are easily recogniz...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f2594820-ba04-454b-bdb6-06b593197755/04bc5366-e27a-44e0-82ca-17a4a9945dc6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vVHVZmuRCNFwx4rueNG3tP</video:player_loc><video:duration>842</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T13:46:00.856Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wdQX2Fgf7qF3jADpFfjr8V</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/87ebe603-dcb4-4220-b85a-153525ee6ccb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SANTA CATALINA ISLAND HOME MOVIES  1930s DOLPHINS SPOTTING, FISHING  CALIFORNIA   42934</video:title><video:description>This silent 1930s home movie depicts an all-male vacation to Santa Catalina Island, of the coast of Southern California in the Gulf of Santa Catalina, including footage of men at sea, dolphin spotting, fishing, and coastal exploration (TRT 9:31).

A distant ocean cruise liner passes along the horizon, trailing smoke (0:08). The wake of a fishing boat; white foam of the Pacific Ocean. A row of barrels is visible. Men labor on deck. The captain at the helm. A friend in a tank top takes over. A steam engine emits smoke. Men shield their eyes against the sun (0:16). The first sign of dolphins.

Suddenly a school of dolphins is revealed. The dolphins dart along, just below the water’s surface (2:24). The fishermen unpack a large fishing net. One man wears a sailor’s cap and smokes a cigarette. The fishing net in closeup (3:04). Bait on a fishing line (3:28). A large school of dozens of dolphins surfacing in a medium shot, revealing countless dorsal fins (3:30). A tree-studded crop of Channel Islands (4:06). The men, grouped together, prepare hunting rifles. The men aim their rifles at an unseen target off the bow of the fishing boat (4:26). Palm trees in a light coastal breeze (4:36).

The film details a meticulously planned and executed daylight mission by the U.S. 8th Air Force against key  industrial targets. The mission focuses on the destruction of critical aircraft factories, shipyards, and installations, including the Focke-Wulf 190 plant in Marienburg. It covers every stage of the operation—from target selection and intelligence gathering, through weather forecasting and bomb fusing, to mission briefing, takeoff, formation assembly, and the bombing runs. Despite formidable weather conditions and intense enemy resistance, the bombers achieve significant destruction, documented through strike and reconnaissance photos. The operation is hailed as a landmark in precision bombing and showcases the complexity and discipline of strategic air warfare.

0:00 – Target Introduction: American bombers approach Marienburg, East Prussia, aiming to destroy the Focke-Wulf 190 aircraft factory, responsible for 50% of FW 190 production.
1:26 –  Emphasis on precision; the goal is to eliminate a single strategic target, not conduct a broad area attack.
2:18 – Explanation of the air war as an industrial offensive
3:08 – Overview of 8th Air Force and its divisions—Bomber, Fighter, and Air Service Commands.
3:27 – Weather is a major challenge; extensive forecasting systems are used, including weather planes and daily map production.

This 1930’s era newsreel short “Sky Giants”, opens with a shot of a dirigible, probably USS Shenandoah, floating overhead. The film recounts the early era of ballooning and the golden era of air travel with heavy dirigibles or air ships. Vice Admiral Charles E. Rosendahl, the leading figure in America’s rigid airship program in the first half of the 20th century is featured. He was one of the most experienced airship aviators in the United States and was a tireless proponent of lighter-than-air aviation but is perhaps best remembered as the commander of NAS Lakehurst at the time of the Hindenburg disaster. Rosendahl’s distinguished career began in January 1923. He reported to Naval Air Station Lakehurst for training in April 1923, and by October he was assigned as a navigator and mooring officer aboard the USS Shenandoah. In March 1926, Rosendahl was assigned as Executive Officer of the USS Los Angeles, and was given command of the ship two months later. In 1931, Rosendahl was put in charge of the flight trials of the newly built USS Akron and then assumed command of the Akron when the ship was commissioned.

These vintage 1980s TV commercials for Swift's Butterball Premium Turkey promote the peace of mind that comes with purchasing a premium turkey, with the tagline "Years of perfect holiday dinners wrapped up in a name."   Despite the name, Butterball turkeys do not contain any butter -- but they are basted in a mixture of water, salt, sugar, natural flavor and spice. The name Butterball was originally registered in 1940, by Ada Walker of Wyoming, Ohio. Leo Peters purchased the trademark and licensed the name to Swift and Co. for 10 years before selling it in the 1960s to Swift, which was acquired by ConAgra in 1990. The latest incarnation of the company, Butterball LLC, currently sells over one billion pounds of turkey a year.

Made for the home market and sold by British Pathe, this silent film "Elizabeth is Queen" (:10) depicts the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on June 2nd of 1953. A longer, sound version was shown in theaters.

Elizabeth became Queen at the age of 25 after her father, King George VI’s death. This coronation was held over a year after his death as tradition dictates a sufficient amount of time between the death of a monarch and celebrations such as these. It was also the first British coronation to be fully televised. In this film Elizabeth will be anointed with holy oil, invested with robes and regalia and crowned Queen. 

The lead up to the coronation opens the film (:23). The red and gold carriage bends around towards Westminster Abbey as pedestrians wave the soon to be new Queen on (:50). Prince William, her husband, is seen waving from inside the carriage (1:36). The interior of Westminster Abbey follows as she arrives (2:33). Choirs sing (3:13) and the crown soon to be placed upon her head is viewed sitting atop a cushion (3:27). She is then anointed sitting upon the throne (3:50) and crowned (4:26). The procession exits (5:46) into the streets of London in the rain. Troops of the UK, including the Royal Army (6:40). The now crowned Queen Elizabeth II is welcomed by civilians mobbing the streets (8:19). She is pictured with Prince William and the Royal Family (9:05). The Royal Air Force (9:19) flies overhead in formation just prior to the films end (9:28).

This film presents the methods of modern transportation in comparison to methods of the past. It depicts the importance of various types of transportation for industry, travel and the growth of cities. It is a Coronet Film (:07) and opens with shots of a passenger plane (:30), a shipping harbor (:37), a railway and a modern highway with end of the 1950’s model automobiles (:53). Past methods of transportation were hindered by great distances or weather and people often had to rely on their own man power or that of animals (1:35) to get themselves and goods anywhere. A steel mill is shown which depends greatly on modern methods of transportation (2:03). Railroad cars full of coke (2:10) for the mill are shown as well as a nearby ship full of iron ore (2:14) as both are vital to the mill’s operation. These raw materials are often derived from locations far away (2:36) and the finished products must also be sent over great distances (2:36). Today these can be moved by train (2:48), by boat as modern shipping no longer relies on wind (2:56) or smaller loads can be sent by trucks over highways (3:15). When time is of the essence and distances are great, the best method is by air and a Flagship Airfrieghter is seen (3:27). For human use, children are seen loading onto a large yellow school bus as kids who live several miles from school can easily hop on a bus (3:51). A woman outside of a restaurant prepares for a travel trip (4:08) as modern methods of transportation have enhanced individual travel needs for business or pleasure. Large bus systems (4:22), personal cars (4:25), railways, which connect all major cities (4:33), or cruiser vessels and other ships can be utilized.

This 1946 color film “The Nature of Color” by Coronet explores the basics of the physics of color.  Coronet produced and distributed many documentary shorts, mostly on 19mm, which were widely shown in American public schools from the 1940s to the 1980s. The educational collaborator for “The Nature of Color” was Dr. Ira M. Freeman, who also wrote multiple physics textbooks. The film begins with vintage footage of a rainbow (0:29-0:35). Various color temperatures of sunlight are shown behind clouds, and raindrops are analyzed up-close on a window (0:36-0:51). The camera zooms up on a color print of Isaac Newton experimenting with a glass prism to understand color (0:52-1:08). The camera pans over a 1940s replica glass prism experiment used for Newton’s 1672 paper on the nature of additive colors, which also led him to invent the original color wheel (1:09-1:36). A vintage animation demonstrates the basic physics behind the refraction of light waves through a prism (1:37-2:20). A woman cleans the trinkets on a cabinet, including a white sheep and black sheep figure (2:21-2:37). A vintage educational animation shows the effects of red, white, and blue cubes under different colors of light to showcase how light is absorbed and reflected (2:38-3:18). A photographer is shown placing a red filter over a vintage camera lens, and a photographer is shown working in a light room to create a dark sky effect (3:19-3:36). Red, green, and blue lights are used to show the effects of combining the primary colors (3:37-5:04). A simple animation demonstrates the basic combinations of primary colors (5:05-5:25). Small filters are combined in a lightbox to showcase the basic physics of additive and subtractive colors (5:26-7:06). A woman is shown painting a landscape and mixing paints (7:07-7:26). Vintage color printing inks are shown on p...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1389d8b0-3484-4367-82a2-635e29641479/61a8ad2e-2f5f-46fa-aa93-88fa133549c5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3pWihTQABeE1uG7xA2pbMX</video:player_loc><video:duration>586</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T14:36:45.951Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ruPiMnThrFhLay2U1crjtU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f8789b5a-1c38-41eb-8a31-820310caa025.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>INVENTIONS IN AMERICA'S GROWTH 1850-1910  PHONOGRAPH, TELEPHONE, LIGHT BULB  Print 2 PH57754</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

In this 1956 film by Coronet Instructional Films, INVENTIONS IN AMERICA'S GROWTH, the recollections of Scientific America editor Jonathan Sharpe tell about the Age of Miracles in America. From 1850-1910, innovation and invention shaped American life in dramatic ways. We can follow some of the advances in farming (horse drawn reaper 1:40), see Edison’s phonograph (:14), and the expansion of steel for daily life (street car rails at 2:54 and the high wheeled steel bicycle at 2:40). There are shots of the cover of Scientific America magazine (3:08 and 7:24). Inventors from this era are featured: Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone he displayed at the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition (4:07), interior and exterior shots of Edison’s Menlo Park Laboratory (5:12), the Wright Brother’s Cycle Company shop (7:30), early wind tunnel (7:42) and planes, with some actual footage taken on the new invention of the motion picture camera (7:48). There is footage of Marconi’s wireless telegraph (8:34) and the amplifier tube invented by Lee De Forest (8:53) that made the invention of the radio possible. With the advent of Edison’s electric light bulb (5:28), the use of electricity became more wide-spread (electric generator 5:41) and led to the electric street car (6:07), elevated trains (6:34) and on to some of the early automobiles, some of which were electric (6:18). There is footage of a young mechanic named Henry Ford in his workshop (6:36) and automobiles (6:51).We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

This 1957 black and white educational film about 1840s travel in the U.S. was produced by Coronet Instructional Films. The educational collaborator was Lewis Paul Todd, Ph.D., author and former Professor of Social Studies at New York University.  The film’s narration begins in New York in 1840, where the narrator is working as a blacksmith under his grandfather’s watchful eye. The sound of hammer on anvil is heard (:42-1:20). A stagecoach arrives, having lost a rim from a wheel (1:21-1:53). Stagecoaches were also used in the late 1700s. Depicted are men dressed in capes and tri-corned hats (1:54-2:04). Two horses pull an open carriage. Such vehicles caused roads to be built, connecting towns together (2:05-2:20). Back at the blacksmith shop, the boy rolls a wooden wheel with a metal rim, shown up close as a symbol of how these vehicles travelled. The repaired wheel is put back on the stagecoach and the passengers loaded. The driver hands the narrator a letter from his family in Illinois, which asks him to join them (2:21-4:02). He plans his trip on a map by candlelight, pointing out the three major passages he could take from New York to Illinois. He chooses the northern option of following the Erie Canal. His travelling options shown are alone by horseback or travelling with another family (4:03-5:25). The next morning, he hitched a ride on the stagecoach as far he could before setting out to walk the next seven miles (5:26-6:08). At the Erie Canal, a large barge appeared, hauled by a pair of mules. The captain offered him the job of mule boy. This involved guiding the mules along a tow path on the bank (6:09-7:10). Sometimes they had to go through a lock to raise or lower the barge to meet different water heights. The process is shown, and the film says that trip required going through 83 locks. At Buffalo, the Captai...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/41a781b8-6cea-4fd0-b613-f30e4fea7983/beab9d5b-f15e-4608-86d5-f1786f83435d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/97dSMff358C5JERKDD4p1x</video:player_loc><video:duration>755</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T14:40:25.076Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4zvUsZmUkoiVXfAcBhQGXy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c3452ff5-604e-4a98-a943-1e886160a68c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SAFE DRIVING: ADVANCED SKILLS AND PROBLEMS    1951 DRIVER'S ED TRAINING FILM  PH45254</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

It takes a look at safety standards and the notion of personal responsibility for safety on and off the job. It opens with a slew of traffic and warning signs as we are constantly bombarded with signs telling us to avoid accidents (:36) though human error still is prevalent as a man places a cigarette butt next to a flammable container of paint thinner (:56). Other examples of people ignoring safety procedures follow including a man trying to cross an intersection with the ‘don’t walk’ signal present (1:26) as well as a pair of women jay-walking and nearly getting hit by a car (1:42). The General Manager of Pacific Telephone Company at the time, Gordon Huff narrates the film (2:22) and he begins by addressing employees and informing them that in spite of well though out safety plans and procedures, they were seeing increasingly high rates of accidents on and off the job (2:56). In a one-month period there were 211 on duty accidents and a multitude of off duty (3:15). The Pacific Telephone Company building (3:47) leads to workers inside beginning with the toll and information operators (4:08) who had low record of on the job instances though a high record of off the job instances (4:20). A scene showing the aftermath of a car accident follows (4:36) as well as a man laying on the ground who had fallen from a ladder while at home (5:04). Gordon Huff begins reading examples of accident reports (8:27). One is of a man who worked for the plant department who was working to string wire for a line transfer when he mistakenly clips his safety belt to the handle of his pliers and falls from the telephone pole (5:54).

It opens with shots of Valencia oranges, white grapefruit and tangerines (1:20) in orchards in Arizona and California (1:28). The industry of producing citrus spanned two time zones and covered 300,000 acres of land (1:52). This process begins with choosing the land that can support the growth of citrus fruits (2:27), and a tractor is seen working to prepare the land for trees and irrigation systems (2:31). Young trees are wrapped tightly and heading from the nursery to be planted into the land (2:42). For irrigation, water was at times sourced from wells which sat nearly 2,000 miles below the surface of the earth (3:25). A canal could also be used to drench large swaths of the land (3:31) and it was also possible to meter the water through holes in the pipes and into the trenches (3:46). After five years the trees would begin to bear fruit (4:05). Heaters were placed among the groves as well as wind machines which would pull warm air down and prevent the harvest from being ruined by frost (4:26). This was a billion-dollar industry which fostered its own machinery and one of these is used to trim a lemon grove (4:49). The fruits are then to be picked (5:50) and skilled pickers climb ladders or platforms to pull the fruits down without scratching or damaging them in any way (6:57). The citrus is then loaded in the Sunkist field bins which could hold up to 500 pounds of fruit (7:24). From the grove, they are moved to the packing house (7:53). All of the fruit is washed, brushed, dried and left with a protective polish (8:48). Lemons are the only fruit which follow a different process as they ripen better off of the tree (8:57). First, they are sorted into color (9:05) as this is what determines how long they were to rest and ripen for (9:05). The sorter is shown which contains sensitive photo electric cells that read the colo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e6fba874-d2d6-4f1b-8fcb-90635b02ad7a/892831c2-7eaa-433b-a365-55ff8e9c231e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uwjAMhuz5bmfekZWnM1pCE</video:player_loc><video:duration>899</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T14:52:19.964Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qTTDpJ3atV1JBomy4eFJmE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/83d66d50-dace-40a8-9c16-5b0c25883a1c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ CHOCOLATE CROSSROADS OF THE WORLD ” 1960s HERSHEY CO.

This 1960s color film depicts a tour of the Hershey Chocolate Factory in Hershey, Pennsylvania, featuring a sanitized and some might say shameless history of the chocolate trade, including harvesting of bean pods with child labor. The film also includes an overview of modern industrial confectionery production methods, Milton S. Hershey homestead, the Hershey Museum, and Hersheypark amusement park attractions and stadium (TRT 25:54).

Children board a Greyhound bus bound for Hershey, PA. One boy wears a charro outfit and sombrero (0:07). Opening titles. Also on the bus: A black boy wearing a kufi and kente cloth; a girl in a huipil dress; a boy in a ranchero hat, carrying a whip; a boy in a straw hat, carrying a banana (0:27). Topiary letters on the front lawn of the Hershey factory spell, “Hershey Cocoa.” Aerial photography shows personalized smokestacks. The bus, a “Scenicruiser,” parks and the stereotyped children, each representing a cocoa or  sugar producing nation, disembark (1:17). A tour guide greets the visitors. A map of “the chocolate town” (2:09). Children ride a ferris wheel at Hershey’s amusement park, aka Hersheypark. Gardens, landscaping. Hershey Museum. A drill team at Hersheypark Stadium. Sign: “The Homestead” and the birthplace of Milton S. Hershey (3:01).

Factory exteriors. A California Hershey factory (6:01).

This 1970s television commercial for Sunshine Biscuit products features Hydrox cookies, featuring pure vegetable shortening instead of lard, and "thin" Krispy Saltine Crackers.  Both feature the tagline: "Sunshine tastes better and you can prove it."

Hydrox is the brand name for a cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie manufactured by Leaf Brands. It debuted in the United States in 1908, and was manufactured by Sunshine Biscuits for over 90 years. Hydrox was largely discontinued in 1999 three years after Sunshine was acquired by Keebler, which was later acquired by Kellogg's. In September 2015, the product was re-introduced by Leaf Brands. The similar Oreo cookie, introduced in 1912, was inspired by the Hydrox.

This color film, a travelogue from 1966, was commissioned by the Piper Aircraft Corporation to highlight their Piper PA-30 Twin Comanche aircraft, which had debuted in 1962. The film follows the Blue brothers, Linden and Neal, as they retrace an identical flight they made through South America ten years prior (that got them on the cover of LIFE Magazine, no less). The Blue’s are joined by fellow revelers and an identical Twin Comanche sister ship, serving as the camera platform. Over 31 days they cover over 32,000 miles and visit fourteen countries. Besides the natural and ancient wonders of South America, we’re shown a Columbian pool party, a Chilean horse ranch, a Peruvian market, and a Brazilian discotheque. Presented by Piper Aircraft Corporation. Narrated by Dale McElhatton. Produced by Sound and Scene.

This color educational animated film from the John Sutherland studios is about a certain Mr. Finchly who has just gotten a 60 dollar raise and wants to figure out the best way to invest it. The film promotes the idea of investing money in stocks by using the MIP (Monthly Investment Plan) and speaking with a broker who deals with the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange). Copyright is 1956. The film was directed by Carl Urbano, animated by Emery Hawkins, George Cannata and James Parian, and written by John Sutherland, Bill Scott and George Gordon. John Sutherland may be most famous today for voicing the adult deer Bambi in the 1942 film Bambi, but he also produced 45 films between 1945–1973. Many were instructional cartoons produced for Harding College extolling the socioeconomic concept of capitalism and delivering a political message on the benefits of both corporate and individual liberty, and the drawbacks of government intervention.

This color film from 1964 illustrates the basics in firearm safety in the home, and includes examples of how to inspect several types of firearms to ensure they are not loaded and safe to handle. After Mrs. Johnson accidentally discharges a carelessly placed shotgun in the basement rec room, a narrator explains how to handle each of the Johnson family’s firearms, and even provides some backstory on each weapon. Guns examined here include a Savage Model 99 lever action rifle, a Winchester Model 52 .22 bolt action target rifle, a 12-gauge pump action shotgun, a Smith &amp; Wesson .38 revolver, a P08 Luger pistol, and an antique flintlock rifle. After all firearms have been examined, the narrator invites Mrs. Johnson to inspect and unload the same shotgun she had had a run in with earlier. A presentation by the National Rifle Association of America. Written by Lewis Baer. Directed and edited by Werner Schumann. Produced by Norwood Studios, Inc., Washington, D.C.

The National Rifle Association is a gun rights advocacy group based in the United States, first chartered in 1871. Though originally nonpartisan, since the 1970’s the NRA has become increasingly criticized by gun control and gun rights advocacy groups, political commentators, and politicians.

This 1957 color educational film about 1840s travel in the U.S. was produced by Coronet Instructional Films. The educational collaborator was Lewis Paul Todd, Ph.D., author and former Professor of Social Studies at New York University.  The film’s narration begins in New York in 1840, where the narrator is working as a blacksmith under his grandfather’s watchful eye. The sound of hammer on anvil is heard (:42-1:20). A stagecoach arrives, having lost a rim from a wheel (1:21-1:53). Stagecoaches were also used in the late 1700s. Depicted are men dressed in capes and tri-corned hats (1:54-2:04). Two horses pull an open carriage. Such vehicles caused roads to be built, connecting towns together (2:05-2:20). Back at the blacksmith shop, the boy rolls a wooden wheel with a metal rim, shown up close as a symbol of how these vehicles travelled. The repaired wheel is put back on the stagecoach and the passengers loaded. The driver hands the narrator a letter from his family in Illinois, which asks him to join them (2:21-4:02). He plans his trip on a map by candlelight, pointing out the three major passages he could take from New York to Illinois. He chooses the northern option of following the Erie Canal. His travelling options shown are alone by horseback or travelling with another family (4:03-5:25). The next morning, he hitched a ride on the stagecoach as far he could before setting out to walk the next seven miles (5:26-6:08). At the Erie Canal, a large barge appeared, hauled by a pair of mules. The captain offered him the job of mule boy. This involved guiding the mules along a tow path on the bank (6:09-7:10). Sometimes they had to go through a lock to raise or lower the barge to meet different water heights. The process is shown, and the film says that trip required going through 83 locks. At Buffalo, the Captain shook hi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/13c19648-4539-4554-9476-0428f509aa09/da79784c-2530-46ef-b468-fe55615c329e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3ruKhc2cAFtcafHcpRK9SM</video:player_loc><video:duration>761</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T15:07:55.001Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dr2MtuYeJujYYKXoaUJ2TD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/311a5dba-dd92-4103-b129-e3ca84f0f531.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HOWARD HUGHES' " HELL'S ANGELS "   WORLD PREMIERE AT CHINESE THEATER HOLLYWOOD  1930   XD31370</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Original newsreel of the premiere of Howard Hughes' "Hell's Angels" at the famous Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood May 27, 1930.  The newsreel was shot in and around the Chinese and features many of the movie's stars, including James Hall, Jean Harlow (1:33) and Ben Lyon.  Bebe Daniels (:35), Loretta Young (1:01), Cecil B. DeMille (1:23), Roscoe Turner and his lion Gilmore (1:35), Ruth Roland (1:44), Gloria Swanson (1:53), Dolores del Rio (2:15), Jackie Coogan (2:28), Hoot Gibson (2:46), and Joe E. Brown are also visible in the footage. 

Hell's Angels is a 1930 American pre-Code independent epic war film directed and produced by Howard Hughes, with James Whale directing the dialogue. Written by Harry Behn and Howard Estabrook and starring Ben Lyon, James Hall and Jean Harlow, it was released through United Artists. The film was originally shot as a silent film, but Hughes retooled it over a three-year (1927–1930) gestation; most of the footage is black-and-white but there are several one-color-tinted scenes chosen for dramatic effect, such as a nighttime gun duel, as well as part-screen full-color for the flames consuming an Imperial German Zeppelin and full-screen full-color for one sequence: the only color footage of Harlow's career.

Although not shown in this short newsreel, all the stars and makers of the film attended this premiere event, as well as Buster Keaton, Loretta Young and Grant Withers, Norma Talmadge, Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, Billie Dove, Joel McCrea,  Charles Farrell, Ruth Roland and Ben Bard, Mary Brian, Sally Eilers, Lawrence Tibbett, Sally Blane, Wheeler and Woolsey, Joseph Schildkraut, and Charlie Chaplin with his girlfriend Georgia Hale. A program with leather cover was designed for the premiere by famed aviation illustrator Clayton Knight.

Shot by an unknown American tourist, this silent 1930s 16mm home movie footage of Heidelberg, Berlin, and Köln (Cologne), Germany during the interwar period of the 1930s offers views of historic architecture and city skylines. Incidentally, this print also offers excellent examples of the harmful, decaying effects of moisture and variable temperature storage upon photochemical film (TRT 11:38).

Title card: “On the Rhein and Heidelberg” (0:08). Hotel Die Hirschgasse, in Heidelberg, then-painted “Gästehaus zir Hirschgasse.” This historic country-style luxury hotel dates back as early as 1472, was mentioned by Mark Twain in his book, “A Tramp Abroad,” and remains in operation to this day (0:10). Heidelberg Dam &amp; Lock. A high-elevation panorama of Heidelberg shows the Church of the Holy Spirit (0:45). Ruins of Heidelberg Castle and city skyline (1:11). Statues and ivy on the Friedrich Building or Friedrichsbau (1:32). A tour group observes the castle ruins from behind a guard post. The “round tower” and surrounding foliage. Rooftops and freestanding castle walls (2:04). The River Neckar and Bavarian mountain sides. Distant train tracks (3:01). A ship is seen through fog (3:34). Title card: “Germany. Rhein” (3:51).

On October 7, 1960,  Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, the Democratic nominee for President, and Vice President Richard Nixon, the Republican nominee, met for the second of four debates. The second debate, in the first set of televised campaign debates, featured an hour long discussion on a variety of topics. It was moderated by Frank McGee of NBC, with questions posed by a panel of journalists: Paul Niven, CBS; Edward P. Morgan, ABC; Alvin Spivak, UPI and Harold R. Levy, Newsday. The debate took place in Washington, D.C.

Among the topics of this debate was foreign policy, including the fate of the island of Cuba which had recently come under the control of Fidel Castro. Nixon argued that the island was not “lost” to the United States, and that the course of action followed by the Eisenhower administration had been the best one to allow the Cuban people to “realize their aspirations of progress through freedom.” Kennedy fired back that it was clear that Castro was a communist, and that the Republican administration failed to use U.S. resources effectively to prevent his rise to power. He concluded that, “Today Cuba is lost for freedom.”

The second point of contention revolved around the downing of an American U-2 spy plane over the Soviet Union and the subsequent canceling of the U.S.-Soviet summit set for May 1960. Kennedy argued that the USA was “not in accordance with international law” in the case, and should have expressed its regrets to the Soviet Union in an attempt to keep the summit on track. Nixon fired back that Kennedy was simply wrong: the Soviets never really wanted the summit to take place and simply used the incident as an excuse.

We believe it dates to the early 1960s, possibly 1962. It was produced by Golden State Film Productions of Berkeley, California and directed by "The State of California Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement" (1:33).The title narcosis refers to a state of stupor, drowsiness, or unconsciousness produced by drugs. According to a card at 1:50, actual addicts appear in the film. This version of the film includes two crudely-spliced-in promotions by a Christian organization promoting religious tracts and products for keeping youth on the right course.

Opening: A car pulls into a lot and we watch a drug deal go down. A man in a trench coat waits and looks. A man gets out of the car and goes over to trench coat guy. He hands him a pack of cigarettes, but something else is in the pack. Title: NARCOSIS (:06-1:55). Now, a segment that appears to be added to the film -- a promotion for a Christian organization. A man, apparently a Christian religious youth leader from Southern Bible College in Houston, Texas, sits at a desk and speaks to the viewer about the importance of the production of tracts aimed at affecting youth. The man holds a book "It's Great to Be Young" and encourages young people to read it. He also shows a Pentecostal Youth Gospel record which he notes can be ordered from "the national office" in Joplin, Missouri. He introduces "Narcosis" -- the film we are about to see is about drug addiction and reaching youth (1:56-3:51). Quiet, tree lined street. Inside a home, a young man has cannabis on the floor. He sits, listening to records, with a female. The man rips the leaves of the cannabis and starts to create a marijuana cigarette. The joint of marijuana is shown being rolled (3:52-5:56). A joint is rolled tightly. The man hides the marijuana when his doorbell rings. The doorbell rings again. A couple shows up and the two couples sit and talk.

This 1965 promotional film "The Treasure of Lucaya" promotes development in Lucaya,  Grand Bahamas. The film's storyline is about a reporter sent to cover a story about Spanish treasure found off the coast of Lucaya. While on the island the reporter, Mark Stevens, finds love and chooses to return to live there. The film opens with the newspaper’s editor and his peer named Bill discussing Mark (:37).

Dating to the mid-to-late 1970s, these TV commercials include the cordless Complexion Plus, fighting the war on zits, the Norelco Brew Miser coffee maker with Dynabrew, the Lickety Split Ice Cream Machine (1:00), and the famous Norelco Rechargeable Rotary Razor ad with the tagline -- "very close but no gotcha!"  At 3:55, the Norelco Nail Dazzler pedicure and manicure machine is shown. At 5:00 another Brew Mizer commercial with $5 rebate, followed at 5:30 with the Norelco Food Processor. At 7:32, the Norelco Microwave Oven with "simple dials" is shown, "No Buttons, No Confusion."  Norelco is the American brand name for electric shavers and other personal care products made by the Consumer Lifestyle division of Philips. The Philips company was originally unable to sell products in the USA under their own brand new due to the existence of the American company Philco. Norelco is an acronym for "North American Philips [electrical] Company". When Philips purchased The Magnavox Company in 1974, it rebranded its consumer products with that name, but retained Norelco for personal care appliances. Philips eventually bought Philco, and began to brand products as Philips-Norelco in anticipation of phasing out the Norelco brand entirely.

In this 1956 film by Coronet Instructional Films, INVENTIONS IN AMERICA'S GROWTH, the recollections of Scientific America editor Jonathan Sharpe tell about the Age of Miracles in America. From 1850-1910, innovation and invention shaped American life in dramatic ways. We can follow some of the advances in farming (horse drawn reaper 1:40), see Edison’s phonograph (:14), and the expansion of steel for daily life (street car rails at 2:54 and the high wheeled steel bicycle at 2:40). There are shots of the cover of Scientific America magazine (3:08 and 7:24). Inventors from this era are featured: Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone he displayed at the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition (4:07), interior and exterior shots of Edison’s Menlo Park Laboratory (5:12), the Wright Brother’s Cycle Company shop (7:30), early wind tunnel (7:42) and planes, with some actual footage taken on the new invention of the motion picture camera (7:48). There is footage of Marconi’s wireless telegraph (8:34) and the amplifier tube invented by Lee De Forest (8:53) that made the invention of the radio possible. With the advent of Edison’s electric light bulb (5:28), the use of electricity became more wide-spread (electric generator 5:41) and led to the electric street car (6:07), elevated trains (6:34) and on to some of the early automobiles, some of which were electric (6:18). There is footage of a young mechanic named Henry Ford in his workshop (6:36) and automobiles (6:51).We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

Made by Coronet, this profile of Sir Isaac Newton dates to 1959, the early part of the Space Age. As a result the film directly connects Newton's major theories with rocketry. At 1:20 a satellite is shown orbiting the Earth. At 1:32 the school where Newton went as a boy is shown, and a childhood fight is re-enacted. At 2:08, Newton is shown at Cambridge, reading books about science. The rest of the film shows re-enactments of Newton's time at Trinity College. At 4:14, Newton returns home to Woolesthorpe due to the outbreak of bubonic plague in England. At 4:38, Newton begins working on a series of mathematical problems. At 5:10, in 1665, Newton works on what becomes known as the Binomial Theorum of Algebra. At 6:00, Newton works on what becomes differential calculus and integral calculus. At 7:29 Newton conducts an experiment that determines that white light contains various color components. At 8:20, Newton is shown at work on a telescope. In 1666, the fall of an apple (8:40) causes Newton to ponder the force of gravity and whether it is universal. At 9:25 Newton wakes in his sleep to ponder gravity. At 9:44 Newton looks at the Moon while coming up with his Theory of Gravitation. At 10:55, Newton returns to Trinity College and is shown working on his new telescope. At 11:40 Edmund Halley visits Newton to discuss elliptical planetary orbits. At 12:36 Newton's book Principia Mathematica is shown.

On September 12, 1962, President John F. Kennedy delivered an address at Rice University in Houston, Texas, detailing his ambitious vision to put an American astronaut on the Moon. (N.B. Kennedy's remarks begin at the 14 minute mark after introductory remarks by Rice's President Pitzer). Known informally after one of the speech's most memorable lines -- "We choose to go to the Moon" -- the speech is widely regarded as one of the most memorable of Kennedy's career, and one that largely helped galvanize American public opinion behind the Cold War era Apollo Program despite its enormous costs. The speech was primarily authored by Kennedy advisor and speechwriter Ted Sorensen. The speech is worth studying for many reasons, not the least of which is that it evoked space as a new frontier and called for Americans to bravely face the Moon mission as a test of national strength, a display of national unity, and for the sake of destiny. These ideas are summarized in a much quoted segment in the middle of the speech as follows (23:00): "We choose to go to the Moon. We choose to go to the Moon...We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too."Interestingly and despite Cold War tensions, Kennedy proposed making the Moon landing a joint project with the Soviets. The idea of a joint project was rejected after his death.This film does not include the entire speech. We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

This color film from 1971, "A Seaport on the Prairie", documents cargo ship traffic in and around the Port of Chicago, Illinois, concentrating on Calumet Harbor, as well as the Illinois River near Beardstown. Directed by Dave Viera for the Illinois Department of Business and Economic Development, the film was presented by International Trade Division, an Illinois Information Service Production.

The Port of Chicago consists of several major port facilities operated by the Illinois International Port District. The central element of the Port District, Calumet Harbor, is maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Port of Chicago links inland canal and river systems in the Midwestern United States to the Great Lakes, giving the global shipping market access to the St. Lawrence Seaway and linking the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico by way of the Mississippi River.

The segment is complemented with additional interviews of contemporaries of Moss. The film opens with footage of driving down streets in London, then cuts to the British Racing Drivers’ Club (00:52). Interviews with friends and competitors give their thoughts on Moss. An unidentified man talks about Moss picking the wrong cars (01:04), as Moss will only drive British cars, likely costing him a shot at winning a World Championship. Bud Palmer interviews Moss as Moss drives a convertible car (02:10) along a road in Britain. This is followed by more interviews with a number of men, including auto designer John Cooper (03:10). Palmer continues the in-car interview with Moss, with an iconic red London Bus driving behind their car (04:35); Moss talks about how difficult it was to initially get a car from a British automobile manufacturer, then he discusses his driving style when racing. The duo pulls up curbside, before the film cuts to more interviews with men (08:35), then returns to the Palmer-Moss interview as they sit in the parked car on the side of a street. At lunch, Moss tells Palmer about his rival Juan Manuel Fangio, whom Moss imitated as much as he could, modeling a lot of his racing off of Fangio. A picture shows Moss and Fangio together (10:27). An aerial shot of a Grand Prix race is followed by footage on the ground of the race. There is footage of Fangio winning races—Fangio won the World Championship five times. A crowd celebrates Fangio after a win (12:00). In the restaurant (13:40), the interview continues. Moss talks about how he was never better than Fangio and how Moss was content not winning a World Championship because, he reasons, he never would have been better than Fangio. Still photos and footage show Moss at race tracks and around race cars (15:49), including...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0eaa14a2-69f5-4ea6-ac0b-e9f497f7fbe4/00a70c64-f92d-45c4-802c-fc7db4b8e506-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2P2AFpozicXwuMQzRJmCjy</video:player_loc><video:duration>1546</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T15:56:55.157Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dogtMACmSXYmUgWX7b1Aca</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0e1a2c68-b95d-4ea0-83a3-de942118c960.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE MODERN WAY"  1940s JAM HANDY BAYER-SEMESAN PESTICIDE SALESMAN TRAINING FILM   92014</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This black and white early 1940’s sponsored film produced by Detroit Michigan’s Jam Handy Organization for Bayer-Semesan uses the character of a gregarious, magically-appearing salesman from a bygone era to evaluate modern changes to the profession of agricultural fungicide salesmanship (TRT 18:40).

Opening Titles: “Bayer-Semesan Company Incorporated Presents” and “The Modern Way” (0:07). Title scroll: “...We take off our hats to those dashing knights of the sample case…” (0:30). A magazine article, “Then and Now” depicts a traveling salesman in 1890’s dress, smoking a cigar. Pull back to reveal a man reading the article in an office. With a dissolve effect, the salesman from the magazine appears in the office before him and offers a cigar (1:04). The 1890’s salesman introduces himself with back-slapping, pinstriped bravado (1:46). Montage: An elderly woman inspects packaged baked goods in a grocery store, a chemist in a laboratory, machinery in an auto assembly plant, a Boeing 314 Clipper flying for Pan Am  (2:44).

Shot by a member of a lowrider car club -- possibly called the Pharoahs or the Ambassadors -- in the 1970s, this color home movie shows a ribbon cutting ceremony and a parade of lowrider cars into a parking lot. The occasion isn't completely clear, but possibly this event marked one of the very first lowrider conventions / contests -- likely in a parking lot at a school in East Los Angeles or San Bernardino.

The film starts with a ribbon cutting ceremony at a parking lot with what looks like a politician or two (:01). Cars start driving in to the lot, past where the ribbon was cut, drivers smile and wave (:39). Vintage model Chevy and Fords drive in, one car is a 1940s Ford panel van, and a pickup (:54). Some cars start to leave the lot (1:37). A car with the words "Mexican Graffiti" (a play on the title of the "American Graffiti" movie). Men drink beer and hang out near a van (2:12). A group of people (2:18). Some lowrider cars, a few are Chevy Impalas (2:27). A woman smiles in her Ford Thunderbird (2:33). A gold low-rider bucks up and down (2:44).  People talk near cars (2:39). Cars lined up (2:56).

This short, silent film from the collection of Jeff Vilencia, shows some of the inventions that were developed by Franklin A. Dobson of Newport Beach, California. These included the Convertiplane, an experimental vertical take-off and landing aircraft, and the Aircar experimental hovercraft. The two are connected in that the one inspired the other. Dobson stated, ''My work (with ground effect vehicles) started as a by-product of a Vertical Take-Off design effort. I thought there should be some way to increase the ground effect of a helicopter by enclosing the rotor downwash, so I worked out the plenum chamber theory and later the annular jet. At the time, I wasn't aware of work being done elsewhere, either in the United States or Great Britain. 'To test my theory, I built a six-foot model with the help of a friend, using a homemade double rotor from an earlier VTOL experiment, plus a belt-drive from a chain saw engine. One whole weekend was devoted to the job, and the resulting vehicle, while hardly the ultimate in efficiency, checked the performance predictions quite closely."

The film begins with shots of a model or miniature mock-up of the Convertiplane.  This was a flying wing design that featured a rotor on a pinion which could rotate 90-degrees and thereby switch from a helicopter to airplane configuration.  It's unclear if this craft ever flew. FAA records indicate it was tail N89P, first registered in 1956. 

At :51, a boy works in the Dobson machine shop / garage on the Convertiplane which is taking shape. At 1:31, another version of the model aircraft is shown with contra-rotating props. Dobson's home is then shown, followed at 2:00 with shots of various molds and jigs used to create parts.  At 2:20, the F.A. Dobson Co. building is shown (location unknown). Various shots follow of the larger versions under de...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5e496657-6909-46fa-b434-7dd97257606a/6b5b6b78-72d8-49a6-9441-16a2895528b9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cDhNye7sb7qgJPUnojAbDQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>748</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T16:00:32.467Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8MZAZmyU2J4SERuj7TBNN9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8629c602-ea55-446b-83b8-cf0e4631d53e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1964 TV SHOW   " MEN IN CRISIS: HITLER VS HINDENBURG "  1930s RISE OF NAZI PARTY IN GERMANY 94114</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dating to 1964, this episode of the David L. Wolper produced TV show "Men in Crisis" was directed by Alan Landsburg, and focuses on the struggle for power between Paul von Hindenburg and Adolf Hitler. It was one of 32 episodes of the ground-breaking non-fiction show. Hindenburg was a German general and statesman who led the Imperial German Army during WWI and later became President of Germany from 1925 until his death in 1934. During his presidency, he played a key role in the Nazi Machtergreifung in January 1933 when, under pressure from advisers, he appointed Adolf Hitler as Chancellor of Germany.

Opening: In 1933, people cheer President Paul von Hindenburg, a German general and statesman who commanded the Imperial German Army during World War I. Hindenburg walks down a street, on his way to hand over power to a younger upstart named Adolf Hitler. People rush to watch. The rivals, Hindenburg and Hitler, shake hands.

Out of retirement, in WW1 he wins Germany's only clear cut victory at Tannenburg. He retires but Germany has problems. At the age of 78 and on the verge of senility, Hindenburg becomes president and the nation has economic recovery. A sign reads: "Germany Awake". A swastika. The nationalists or "Nazis" are led by a former painter named Adolf Hitler. People cheer on the nazis. Hitler waves at a crowd of supporters (1:35-4:37). Nazis march and their band plays.

This episode of the TV show, Discovery ‘70, dates to the year 1970. Discovery (in several incarnations) was an innovative historical, cultural and educational documentary TV series for children that aired from 1962-1971 on ABC. It was originally hosted by Frank Buxton on aired on weekdays, but for most of the Sixties it could be found on Saturday afternoons or Sunday mornings. This episode is hosted by Bill Owen (who replaced Buxton after 1966 as host) and Virginia Gibson.

This episode "Discovery Goes to Portugal" opens overlooking small fishing vessels beached by the sea on the beautiful coast of Portugal. The episode shows many clips of Portuguese men and women going about their daily business. Basket weavers sit on stone steps :30. We see a mountaintop view and the camera pans over the seaside town of Lisbon, Portugal 1:00.  Bill Owen and Virginia Gibson sit by the sea and talk to the viewers 1:30. Lisbon is known as the city of the seven hills: “A cidade das sete colinas”. The Romans named Lisbon as Olissipo for its resemblance to the city of Rome which was also built over seven hills. Built on the margins of the Tagus river – Rio Tejo – Lisbon is filled with color and tradition. The camera zooms in from above onto the Plaza of Commerce 1:47. This huge plaza is also known as Terreiro Do Paço (Palace Terrace), which is also the name of the ferry terminal and a neighboring restaurant. The plaza itself is the old center of commerce. Government buildings (ministry, commerce, etc.) border the plaza on three sides, and Tagus River on the south side. The Plaza was the epicenter of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake and subsequent tsunami, 21 years before American colonists declared independence from tea-taxing Brits. Black Horse Square, 2:07. José I of Portugal, called the "idle king," in contrast to his energetic chief minister,...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/963cc552-d63a-4300-a295-7c4f6c1692c5/82bef3d1-ac5b-4546-b463-9ab46299cabc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jy1LCTRdFCcKQDua71akmH</video:player_loc><video:duration>1346</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T16:04:50.552Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nsqA54pufXkWWWAYezaDEb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8b46d338-cfe3-488b-a616-340ff5c90b9d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1978 MR.

This is a 1960’s era, black and white film made by the U.S. Air Force: The 16mm Motion Picture Projector. Care and Maintenance. The film was made to educate projectionists about the use of the AQ2A1 model 16mm projector, which is more commonly known as the JAN or Joint Army Navy Projector. These rugged projectors were designed to rigid U.S. government specifications and built by a variety of manufacturers including Bell &amp; Howell and Federal. Their heavy, metal construction meant that they could supposedly survive a four foot vertical drop (such as might be encountered when a ship hit heavy weather or during transport to the front lines). 

The film follows an airman / projectionist mate through the process of caring for the AQ2A1 model 16mm motion picture projector. The film opens with enlisted sitting in a screening room as the projector runs. The operator needs to hand wind the tape on the take-up reel due to a broken take-up belt :42. To avoid breaking the continuity of the film, the projectionist had to improvise. In any emergency the operator must remain calm 1:13. Minor repairs and replacement should be accomplished at the first opportunity 1:40. Projectionist is replacing the broken tape up belt immediately after the film has finished 1:45.

All dirt and film emulsion should be removed with an aperture brush 3:05. All guide rollers on the projector should be lubricated with 2135H oil every 60 days 3:32.

Dating to 1932, this 16mm silent home movie shows Christmas in Joplin, Missouri in 1932. The name of the family that created it is unknown. The film starts with a little boy showing off his brand new pedal car, followed by a shot of two young girls showing off their matching baby strollers and dolls. The pedal car makes an additional appearance later.  It appears to be the Chevrolet model made by American-National, which sold for a whopping $5.50 and included a realistic radiator cap, bumper, windscreen, horn and headlights. This one also seems to have a license plate. At 1:37 the kids and dolly check out the new Lionel or American Flyer electric train set. At 1:56 Grandpa and then Grandma pose with their pride and joy. At 2:08 the girls try out new bikes.  Brother has a trike which he rides at 3:00. At 3:31 the kids, and then later Dad, play with a large rubber bouncy ball.

These 1979 TV commercials for Bulova promotes the Accutron Quartz, the "most accurate watch of today" -- and the future. The science fiction style commercials feature a supercomputer that speaks like Siri. The Accutron brand name was first used in 1960 for Bulova's pure quartz wristwatches, and used actively up until 2014. The "Accutron" watches used a 360 Hz tuning fork instead of a balance wheel as the timekeeping element. The fork was powered by a one-transistor electronic oscillator circuit, so the Accutron qualifies as the second "electronic watch", following the Hamilton Electric released in 1957. The Accutron was guaranteed to be accurate to one minute per month, or two seconds per day, considerably better than mechanical watches of the era.

This 1955 Jam Handy film BOXES AND BALLS shows the engineering properties of the new Chevrolet chassis — which is designed for strength "like a box". The film goes into detail describing the ’55 Chevy’s robust ladder frame and the various safety and structural advantages it provides, along with its then-new ball joint suspension system. Features many stunts to exemplify the driving qualities of the cars.  The stunts are mostly likely performed by George Rice Chitwood (April 14, 1912 – January 3, 1988), nicknamed "Joie". Chitwood was an American racecar driver and businessman. He is best known as a daredevil in the Joie Chitwood Thrill Show.Henry Jamison "Jam" Handy (March 6, 1886 – November 13, 1983) was an American Olympic breaststroke swimmer, water polo player, and leader in the field of commercial audio and visual communications. Handy was noted for the number of training films that he produced over the years.

This black and white, silent film is a collection of footage related to the Ford Motor Company from the early 1920’s through the early 1940’s (though not in chronological order: Footage from 00:06 to 01:56 is from the 1920’s, 01:56 to 03:25 appears to be early 1940’s, and the remaining segments are from the early 1930’s.) You’ll see Ford’s River Rouge factory, acres of newly built cars, Model T’s, Model A’s, workers, trains, planes, a fire, and the twenty-millionth car Ford built!

The Ford Motor Company was founded in 1903 by Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan. Henry Ford built his first experimental car in a workshop behind his home in Detroit in 1896. The first Ford car was assembled at the Mack Avenue plant in July, 1903. Five years later, in 1908, the highly successful Model T was introduced. Demand for this car was so great that Ford developed the world’s first moving assembly line for cars; and in 1914, to further improve labour productivity, he introduced the $5 daily wage for an eight-hour day (replacing $2.34 for a nine-hour day). Weathering wars and recessions, the Ford Motor Company continues to be a leader in the automotive industry today.

This color film from 1954, a sponsored film about the importance of the railroad industry in America, is framed around the narrative of railroad workers talking in restaurant. Television producer John O’Shea (Bill Kennedy) is directed to Scotty’s, where the crowd inside includes waitress Kelly (Pat Englund), newspaper editor Bill (James Gregory), and Scotty himself (Jock MacGregor). A railway worker sees in a trade magazine that a TV program about railroads is in the works, and this leads Bill to opine aloud about what such a program should include. His narration is inter-spliced with footage of the rail industry in action. Sitting quietly in the corner, John O’Shea just so happens to be the producer of that TV show, but he doesn’t let on. No one is the wiser until Scotty, Bill and Kelly recognize him on the television a few weeks later, and sure enough, the program he presents is exactly in line with the spirit and information he overheard at the restaurant; the privately owned and operated railroad industry is the backbone of America and must never be discounted. Directed by Haford Kerbawy. Written by Thomas Monroe. Produced by the Jam Handy Organization for the Westinghouse Air Brake Company.   

In the post-World War II boom many railroads were driven out of business due to competition from airlines and Interstate highways. Railroads continued to carry bulk freight such as coal, steel and other commodities, but the Interstate Commerce Commission regulated railroad rates and other aspects of operations, limiting railroads' flexibility in responding to changing market forces. Dozens of large railroads declared bankruptcy in the 1960’s and 1970’s. In 1970, Congress created Amtrak in order to take over operation of existing passenger lines, and Consolidated Rail Corporation (ConRail) to salvage viable freight operations...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6952d568-ca52-4692-92ef-bd10ab64ea85/eafe1c41-6f00-4454-ab77-b8671d741812-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/e1kwi3Kbn3DwifgrsoyPDF</video:player_loc><video:duration>1606</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T16:46:09.600Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xcJU6mVNsxre6cuW7754cV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4e9ef301-6dfc-4dc8-b53d-e60876a013b9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s CARRIER OPERATIONS USS LEYTE (CV-32)  A-1 SKYRAIDER F9F COUGAR  F4U4 CORSAIR XD31111</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This TV commercial for the remote control Genie Garage Door Opener dates to the 1970s and features the tagline "The garage door picker-upper". It was produced by The Alliance Manufacturing Co. of Alliance, Ohio.  "If it doesn't say Alliance, it's not a Genie".  Alliance first produced the Genie in 1954. At the time, it was the first mass-produced, radio-controlled residential garage door opener, and became the market leader in design, safety and reliable service. The company continues in business today. 

In 1958, Genie engineers brought about the innovation of the first direct drive screw opener. Further design refinements resulted in the offering of a split rail, which opened opportunities to mass retailers for the first time in the mid-1970s. Consumer appeal for Genie products grew alongside the rapidly developing do-it-yourself market. In 1983, the company entered the home and shop vacuum market, and in 1985, changed its name to Genie Home Products.

This black and white training film, made for the United Kingdom’s Civil Defense and Fire Service in 1956, provides a straight forward and unflinching look at the possible effects a hydrogen bomb would have on a major city in that country. Using World War II era footage of rescue work in the aftermath of German air attacks, animations, scale models, and somber narration, the film attempts to convey the devastation such an attack would inflict, what rescuers should expect to encounter in their efforts, and the sobering differences between a “nominal” atomic bomb and a ten megaton hydrogen bomb. Produced for the Home Office by RHR Productions, Ltd. Produced by Ronald H. Riley. Written and directed by David Villiers. This film directly references the 1952 Civil Defense training film “The Atomic Bomb: It’s Effects &amp; How to Meet Them,” which is available in the Periscope Film archive.

Made in the former Soviet Union in the 1960s, "Berlin Storm" is a patriotic, educational film that shows the Red Army's advance into Germany and the last battle of the war in Europe (Apr 16, 1945 – May 2, 1945). Street fighting by infantry backed by tanks and artillery is seen starting at :50. At 1:50, the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag  building are seen in the heart of the German capitol. At 2:12, rockets are loaded onto a Katyusha rocket launcher. At 2:38, the Soviets occupy the roof of the shattered Reichstag. The official story is repeated --  that two hand-picked soldiers, Meliton Kantaria (Georgian) and Mikhail Yegorov (Russian), raised the Soviet flag over the Reichstag (2:55). At 3:13 the German flag is shown in the shattered ruins. At 3:26, German soldiers emerge and surrender. At 3:35, German officers (possibly staff from the Fuhrer's bunker ) are seen emerging. At 3:48, surrender flags are raised over Berlin. The war in Europe is over. At 4:36 the WWII memorial in East Berlin is shown.

"The Battle of San Pietro" is a 1945, black and white, documentary film directed and narrated by famed Hollywood director John Huston ("The Maltese Falcon") for the U.S. Army Pictorial Service about the 1943 Battle of San Pietro Infine. (TRT 32:25). It was shot by Jules Buck alongside troops in the field, and while it appears documentary in style many portions are re-creations shot with actual G.I. participants. The film caused controversy during the war, as some in the U.S. Army felt its unflinching realism might damage morale. In the end the film was shown to troops and released in the USA, in no large part due to the efforts of General George Marshall. It became widely known as one of the most important documentaries to emerge from the war. (Note: Different versions of the film exist at various run times. At 32 minutes, this is one of the longer versions; a complete version can be seen at this link: https://youtu.be/mIuHPK-Oans)

This wonderful color film "King of Coney Island" is part of the "If Things Could Talk" series of films produced by Roy Creveling. It is written and narrated from the point of view of Coney Island, New York’s landmark Ferris wheel, the Wonder Wheel, who takes us into and around the packed attractions, boardwalks, and beaches of New York City’s fabulous “Playground of the World.” Besides the Wonder Wheel, the Cyclone and Tornado rollercoasters are shown, as well as the Parachute Drop, Steeplechase, Whirl Way, Virginia Reel, and other rides. You’ll also see a balloon parade, fireworks, acrobats, beach sleepers, and a lost child. It was filmed in 1952 and 1953.

Between around 1880 and the 1940’s, Coney Island was the largest amusement area in the United States, attracting several million visitors per year. At its height, it contained three major amusement parks - Luna Park, Dreamland, and Steeplechase Park - as well as many independent amusements. Declining attendance in the postwar period lead many of the parks to close permanently, beginning in the 1960’s. Though rides and attractions still exist there today (such as the Wonder Wheel, which turned 100 years old in 2020) it has shrunk down to almost nothing.

This color film, produced by General Motors' Photographic Division for Chevrolet, showcases the 1952 All-American Soapbox Derby held in Akron, Ohio. Beginning in and around Saratoga Springs, New York, we meet the community leaders who promote the local Derby and a few of the participants. The action then moves to Akron, where the whole town has Derby Fever! The heats commence at Derby Downs and 11-year-old Joe Lunn of Columbus, Georgia, crashes his car and looks to be out of the running. But after a quick repair, Lunn goes on to win the championship. He and all the other racers are then feted at a banquet attended by politicians, businessmen, and movie stars.

The All-American Soap Box Derby is a youth soapbox car racing program which that has existed in the United States since 1933. During the Derby's heyday in the 1950’s and 1960’s, as many as 70,000 people gathered to cheer hundreds of youthful racer/builders. Soapbox cars competing in this event are unpowered, relying completely upon gravity to move.

This WWII, U.S. Army Air Forces ground crew training film provides a training on the servicing of the P-39, the principal fighter aircraft in use when the United States first entered WW2. It's a great example of the type of detailed and rather exceptional instructional film produced by for mechanics during the war, that likely saved many millions of dollars in equipment loss and lives. 

This film focuses specifically on the care and maintenance of the wheels and tires of the craft which (as the film points out a bit obviously) are only in use during take off and landing, though those few moments in use are vital to the pilot’s safety (:30). The main wheel from the P-39 is first to be removed (:48) as a mechanic demonstrates removal of the hub as well as the use of pliers to remove the cotter key and removal of the high castellated nut (:56). After the hub nut and bearing is removed, the wheel is jacked up (1:52). The three screws holding the dust cover in place are then removed (2:06) and the wheel is moved partly off the axel so the bearing can be easily taken out (2:45). The wheel is pulled straight out so as not to damage the axel thread (3:01). In order to pull the tire from the wheel, all the air must be let out (3:13) after the removable ring is taken off. The tube is pulled from the tire and carefully inspected for damage (4:17). The tire is then reset onto the wheel (4:45) and the rim is pulled over the lock ring (5:29). The bearing is cleaned prior to reinstallation with carbon tetrachloride (5:46). The brake disks are then cleaned (6:10). The bearing is replaced and lubricated according to the directions shown at (6:39). The noise which is made when wheels revolve is the brake disks rubbing against one another (7:19).

Made in the wake of deadly accidents aboard the aircraft carriers USS Forrestal (CV-59), USS Enterprise (CVN-65), and USS Oriskany (CV-34), this 1971 U.S. Navy safety film underscores that "Disasters Don't Just Happen".  The film examines the causes of accidents and looks for solutions to prevent similar things from happening in the future.  Three incidents are specifically examined.  First, the 1967 USS Forrestal fire was a devastating fire and series of chain-reaction explosions on 29 July 1967 that killed 134 sailors and injured 161 on the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal (CV-59), after an unusual electrical anomaly discharged a Zuni rocket on the flight deck. Forrestal was engaged in combat operations in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Vietnam War at the time, and the damage exceeded $72 million (not including damage to aircraft).  The fire aboard Enterprise occured on 14 January 1969, when a MK-32 Zuni rocket loaded on a parked F-4 Phantom short circuited (due to stray voltage during aircraft engine start) and fired, setting off fires and additional explosions across the flight deck. The fire was brought under control relatively quickly, but 27 lives were lost. An additional 314 personnel were injured.  In 1966, one of the worst shipboard fires since World War II broke out on USS Oriskany when a magnesium flare was accidentally ignited. 44 men died in the fire.  "Disasters Don't Just Happen" was produced by Milner-Fenwick, Inc.

Produced just two years after the Chernobyl disaster by Belarusfilm and Goskino and with the assistance of the Belorussian Institute of Radiobiology, this film "After the Battle" focuses on the lives of  Belorussian villagers who were forced from their homes as a result of the accident, and who decided to return to them. The film was one of the first shot inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, and the interviews in it show the gaping void in scientific understanding that existed among a certain strata of the populace, and the scientific community. At the same time, the film shows how the bureaucracy attempted to deal with the post-disaster situation, and how it failed in many ways. The story is told through a series of interviews with villagers, bureaucrats, and researchers in radiology and biology including Dr. Igor Vladimirovich Kazakov. The Belorussian Institute of Radiobiology was established in 1987 to assess with and deal with the effects of the incident. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, it was renamed to State National Institite of the National Academy of Science of Belarus. Today it continues to manage the Polesie Natural and Radiological Reserve which was created to enclose the territory of Belarus most affected by radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl disaster. As of 2016, 187 locals had returned and were living permanently in the zone

The film contains interviews with the inhabitants of, and footage of, the villages of Chojniki, Brahin, Naroulia, Dzernavicji, Aravicji, Pirki, Chamkou. It traces the evolution of the situation and its perception by the ordinary rural and urban inhabitants, from the first panic, to complacency and finally disbelief -- the villagers return to the Exclusion Zone and engage in all the forbidden behaviors, regardless of the risks to their health.

Presented by Castle Films, which sold movies for home use in the 1940-60s, this short film "Killer Gorilla" is an excerpt from the feature film from 1950 called “Congolaise”. The feature tracks an expedition of scientists sponsored by the French Government and the Museum of Man. The expedition was sent to Africa in order to document native African American tribes and native wildlife in French Equatorial Africa. This particular segment, which may be disturbing to some viewers, shows the tribesmen confronting a so-called "King Gorilla" weighing 775 pounds. The film opens with shots of the countryside within the interior of Africa, probably the Congo or Uganda (:30). Antelope sprint through the grounds (:32). Rivers are viewed which act as the highways of the interior (:47). The film travels to Uganda to view one of the tribes of the Upper Congo (:59). Ritual dances tell the tale of the large killer gorilla which had tormented the tribe (1:17). A hunt is planned to take out the gorilla the following morning (1:40). A net is strung across the underbrush along the outskirts of the gorilla’s feeding grounds in an attempt to keep the gorilla’s caged in (2:03). One of the gorillas is spotted (3:10) climbing the trees which gorilla’s generally do not do. The King Gorilla is sighted next (3:29). The tribesmen grow weary as from the treetops the gorillas could climb over the net (3:51). One of the tribesmen tosses a spear towards one of the gorilla’s (4:13). Another tribesman aims a musket towards the net (4:50) and hits another gorilla of the group (5:08). The King Gorilla begins making his way closer to the net (6:15). Once within range, the tribesman hits the King Gorilla in the lower abdomen (7:25). The massive animal is inspected by the men (7:42). It’s length was about ten feet long and one ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/73846abe-a1bd-4103-bde5-04e880cf944a/855843b0-933a-4241-a200-5fcb8b31096b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fgkZpRcyDU7eYREQjtfA77</video:player_loc><video:duration>540</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T17:37:19.266Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vKjAAoyfCTTzknrp8qpKMj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cbbdee25-5c4a-4638-ba9d-e5e69309809d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s STATE OF KENTUCKY TRAVELOGUE  " MORE PER MILE "   FRANKFORT, STATE &amp; NATIONAL PARKS  XD13964</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This post-1965 black and white informational film from the  International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) explains the basics of secondary radar and illustrates its use in flight navigation and air traffic control using a combination of live-action footage and limited animation (TRT 23:09). It focuses on Secondary surveillance radar (SSR), a radar system used in air traffic control (ATC), that unlike primary radar systems that measure the bearing and distance of targets using the detected reflections of radio signals, relies on targets equipped with a radar transponder, that reply to each interrogation signal by transmitting encoded data such as an identity code, the aircraft's altitude and further information depending on its chosen mode. SSR is based on the military identification friend or foe (IFF) technology originally developed during WWII, therefore the two systems are still compatible

Opening titles: “The International Civil Aviation Organization Presents Secondary Radar SSR” (0:06). Jet airliners landing and taking off from airport runways (0:23). Air traffic controllers. One speaks into a radio while viewing a radar monitor (0:56). Animation illustrates a radar signal spinning clockwise as an airplane passes from left to right (1:13). A radar screen shows two circled blips. A hand in silhouette circles another (1:37). An illustration shows the path of a radar signal between the ground and an aircraft. The figure 1030 megacycles appears as a text overlay. A secondary signal marked 1090 megacycles follows, from air to ground (2:05). A radio tower stands behind a chain link fence with barbed wire (3:00). An interrogator, transmitter, and receiver array. “Deep routing equipment” (3:11).

Shot by an unknown American tourist during a trip to Alaska in 1935, this silent, black &amp; white and color home movie footage features some of the last known footage of actor and humorist Will Rogers and aviator Wiley Post. It also contains shots of scenery, the Yukon, and native peoples, and gives a good idea of what a tourist might have experienced in Alaska of this era.  

The story behind Will Rogers' trip to Alaska and untimely death is well known. Rogers was a famous advocate for the aviation industry and became good friends with aviator Wiley Post. Post planned to survey an air route to Russia from the U.S. West Coast, and invited Rogers to accompany him to Alaska. For the trip, Post modified a Lockheed Orion tail# NR12283 as an amphibian equipped with floats, so that it could land in lakes in remote areas of Alaska and Siberia. On August 15, the pair left Fairbanks for Point Barrow but were forced to land near Utqiaġvik due to bad weather. On takeoff, the plane's engine died and the plane crashed, killing both men.  

Opening: men stand near cars which are parked at a train station in Fairbanks, Alaska (:08). Movie star and humorist Will Rogers jokes with a baby and talks to onlookers (:46). Wiley Post is also visible from behind, his eyepatch strap clearly visible, and then at (1:30) he faces the camera. An aircraft hangar appears to be behind him. A man stands near the Cushman Street Bridge (1:36). Sled dogs in the snow (1:42). A man corrals the dogs in the snow (2:23). Husky puppies.

This educational film "India, Asia’s New Voice" was produced by The March of Time and dates to 1949, just two years after Indian Independence. At the time, the West greatly feared that India, like China, might succumb to Communism. The film recaps the events leading up to independence from the British, including the Partition of India and Pakistan. The film starts in January of 1949 as the voice of India's new Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru is heard. He speaks out to, and for, the over 320 million newly liberated Indians – and for all Asia as well. Newscasters speak over radio broadcasts announcing to the world that “a resurgent New Asia no longer intends to take a secondary role in world affairs”. Map of Asia is shown 1:00.

This film from ARAC, the National Atmospheric Release Advisory Capability, and its National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, summarizes the global assessments provided by ARAC during the first two weeks after the Chernobyl reactor accident began in April, 1986. The ARAC project is a Department of Energy (DOE) sponsored real-time emergency response service available for use by both federal and state agencies in case of a potential or actual atmospheric release of nuclear material aka a nuclear detonation. At the time this film was produced, ARAC was using a hemispherical computer model developed in part by Leonard A. Lawson to predict the evolution of the nuclear cloud. The study shown in the film lasted for 11 days, and provided an estimate of the dose patterns over Europe and the Northern Hemisphere.

Results of ARAC's work and measurements made by European countries during that same period show that no major short-term acute health effects would be expected in Europe as a result of this accident. Of course, statistical long-term health effects were not addressed in these studies. In the United States, both measured and calculated I-131 concentrations in milk in the time period were over an order of magnitude below the USDA guideline of 15,000 pCi/l.

ARAC/NARAC continues to provide tools and expertise to simulate and map the spread and impacts of hazardous materials accidentally or intentionally released into the atmosphere. These plume predictions are used to inform decisions on actions to protect the public and the environment. The operations center and expert staff are available on a 24/7 basis to respond to emergencies anywhere in the world. Since its foundation in 1979, the center has responded to hundreds of alerts, accidents, and disasters; supported thousands of exerc...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/368c26ec-3d14-4243-9c94-51c026c24398/6886c702-51fc-4cc0-99d1-7637a837766b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7JF5rj1ZeGrJNMU7nvUkCU</video:player_loc><video:duration>539</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T18:01:15.985Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dRLNgYHmGkqtNwH1E4c4V5</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/af93fc51-3017-4e3f-9c00-f7cf6f626f3a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>Special thanks from Periscope Film -- to our supporters on Patreon !</video:title><video:description>We've been rescuing orphaned and endangered non-fiction films for over a decade, and presenting them to the public worldwide via Youtube.

This short 1970s film by the National Safety Council "Find a Float" takes a look at water safety and what to do in the event of an emergency situation. It opens with a water skier enjoying the sport and conducting spin jumps and dodging around buoys (1:08) as well as a family of three water skiing together (1:58). Other recreational water activities beyond water skiing include diving from a diving board (2:07) and scuba diving (2:16). While many see the water as a place of sport, some see the waters as a place of danger, especially those who cannot swim (2:25). The first incident involves a fisherman named John Davidson who takes himself on a fishing outing with a young companion to relive himself of his daily troubles (2:39). John catches a fish (3:37) and shows it to the boy on the shoreline watching him. In his excitement he stands and proceeds to start the boat while standing (4:08) he falls into the water. Unfortunately, when he pulled the starter rope, the engine was in gear and the boat takes off (4:11). He is left helpless splashing in the water as the boy runs for help (4:22). Another character, Joe Schultz, had taken his wife and two kids out on the water in a small row boat (4:44). Two speed boats come zipping through and almost hit him and his family (5:10). He stands and waves his oar to warn them not to hit him and he ends up falling off the boat (5:27). In an attempt to get back on the boat, he approaches the side and therefore capsizes the whole thing and lands his family in the water as well (5:39). A woman on the shoreline witnesses the incident and yells for help, though there is no one around to hear her (5:48). A fourteen-year-old girl named Alice Templeton enjoys herself while on a float listening to music (6:01). Her parents are on a nearby dock fishing when she had drifted out to d...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/283c1bac-5e3c-4917-9e89-0631c77a618b/4d41ab70-7733-46f6-80bb-5d15b66f25be-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5YazuFxK2zboNyFvr7ugbc</video:player_loc><video:duration>657</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T18:03:37.047Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9ki5BTLxPF2PpRuvVodAbK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e4fc6a3f-7c58-4fc9-8dca-06125c21ba44.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" SET FREE "  1970s CHRISTIAN DOCUMENTARY   SAN QUENTIN PRISON  REHABILITATION OF PRISONERS 68524</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Produced by Bob Cording and Jerry Humphries in 1977, "Set Free" takes a look at the role that Christianity can play in the rehabilitation of the incarcerated.  The film was something of a departure for Cording-Humphries films, as the company was most well-known for its inspirational sports films including the breakthrough Christian surfing film; 'Tales from the Tube'. At the time "Set Free" was made glimpses inside penitentiaries were rare, as cameras rarely penetrated their secure walls. The film's message remains relevant today.

The film opens with traffic going over a bridge in Northern California. Sign for California State Prison, San Quentin 1:05. "Set Free."  San Quentin, California 1:30. A guard frisks a prisoner 2:20. Signs within the prison are shown 2:50. Guards and prisoners share the yard 3:27. A guard tower 3:41. The camera pans into a cell 4:26. Prisoners talk about their crimes 4:45.

Created by an unknown American tourist in 1927, this black &amp; white silent home movie shows a passenger ship cruise across the Southern Hemisphere to Australia and New Guinea. This film is only one part of what must have been a longer travelogue; unfortunately the other segments of it are apparently lost to history.  The film gives a good idea of the experiences a wealthy tourist might have had in this era, visiting Tasmania, New South Wales and Melbourne, and New Guinea.

Made for public viewing by the War Department, later known as the Depart of Defense, this film narrated by Hugh James focuses on "Subcontracting for Defense". It shows the early mobilization of American industrial capacity that occurred prior to and during WWII. The film was one of a series of "Defense Reports on Film" made by the Office of Production Management and appears to have been made prior to entry in WWII, as the USA's economy gained steam as the "arsenal of democracy" -- shipping supplies and defense material to Britain as well as equipping it's own military. At the time, the government was calling on small factories and manufacturers to join in the effort. (Initially most of the defense contracts were going to larger corporations however by 1942 the Smaller War Plants Corporation was created in order to aide small manufactures in pursuit of military contracts.) This film was produced for the Defense Contract Service of the Office of Production Management. It was produced by Arch A. Mercey (:21). The film begins in a steel factory (:39) with white hot metal coming out of furnaces which will be used to make the commodities of war such as guns, tanks, ships, planes, etc. (:39). Modern warfare had become industry versus industry and victory depended on whoever had the largest industrial capacity (1:09). There was a need to boost the industry effort as Germany’s army was receiving more weapons from conquered areas than the USA was able to send to beleaguered Britain (1:25). A blueprint for a new factory is shown. This led to new plants springing up from coast to coast (1:38) including powder plants, airplane factories, factories for mechanized units and tractors (1:50) and ship yards were springing up along the Gulf coast, west coast and all over New England (1:58). 30% to 50% of ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/589e6a28-d452-4d06-9fd7-118df4b09819/c7da2e0a-1f3a-4482-b208-53f88840b287-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bWGm78hZCRyg8JNHdsTfhH</video:player_loc><video:duration>535</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T18:13:05.520Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/b2kKYxjVJbJAc8iHzjvusk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/50949e63-bffa-4d92-9bfb-8c0797e43f2f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PROPERTY TAXATION 1940s EDUCATIONAL FILM    TAXES, BONDS, INTEREST RATES &amp; TAX ASSESSMENT   90614</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This short film from Academy Films of Hollywood dates to 1951, and shows how iron ore, limestone, and coke are handled and prepared for the blast furnace in the making of pig iron. The blast furnace is used for smelting materials into pig iron aka cast iron, lead or copper and is an age-old practice dating back to the fifth century. This film opens with an outside look at a blast furnace and its cylindrical towers (:40). A diagram follows depicting what happens inside, pointing to where raw materials entered (1:13) and the layering in which it was sent in. Footage of actual raw material entering the furnace is shown in the raw materials yard (2:27). The entire car is seen turned upside down to remove all materials (2:58) and these are then emptied into an underground conveyor belt (3:07). The traveling stacking machine (3:23), reclaiming machine (3:49), and large triangular rake (4:00) are all seen at work. Afterwards materials are moved to another conveyor belt headed for storage hoppers (4:10). The second most important material for the iron blast furnace is called ‘coke’ which is made from coal baked in closed ovens (4:24). At the unloading hopper (4:38) the railcars are unloaded and transported to stock piles (4:56). A crane is seen lifting coal onto another conveyor belt (5:12) to be sent to the coal crushing machinery (5:12). A ‘Larry car’ then sets to work delivering the crushed and screened coal to the coke oven (5:12). The gases which are a by product of this procedure are seen emptying out of the collector pipes (5:55). At the end the coke is pushed out in a stream of molten material which then falls into the hot car (6:12) which will take it to the quenching process in which it is dowsed with water (6:40). It then moves to storage piles near the blast furnace (7:11). Limestone is another important material and it follows a similar process as the ir...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ad4945fa-224e-407c-8352-f9787b73a67e/15cd82b4-90ad-49ff-80c2-2238e19fe7e8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/np6hjCsPFXdXFdN1iAMUpQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>671</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T18:22:33.676Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oVa3oXfGqgQCFCBJrcVTne</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c53e5f59-e6fa-4aa8-9394-6b002f116e2f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s WILD WEST JULY 4th PARADE  GLOBE, ARIZONA   HOME MOVIE  w/ APACHE INDIANS  33474</video:title><video:description>This fascinating black &amp; white home movie features a 4th of July parade in Globe, Arizona, as well as some desert (!) golfing. The images of Globe are especially interesting as they show a diverse vision of the West -- if you look you'll see Native Americans and African Americans in the footage. This is circa the late 1920s or early 1930s.  Globe is a city in Gila County, Arizona that was founded c. 1875 as a mining camp. The Old Dominion mine was the principal copper producer in the Globe District.Opening: Model T Fords drive past and people mill around Broad Street in the small Arizona town of Globe, the streets are packed with people (:16).

A child dressed in an Indian outfit with a feather in his cap (:28). An actual Native American girl, most likely from the Apache tribe, with a papoose also shown (:35) People are gathered on a street corner (:40). At (:54), a man in a cowboy hat appears to be showing off a piece of gambling equipment, a Chuck-a-Luck bird cage, possibly for a raffle. At (:55) the interior of a shop is shown, with Orange Crush signs visible in the window. The piece of machinery in the foreground might be an ice cream maker, or who knows? At (:57) rare shots inside what appears to be a primitive saloon, with gaming tables at the ready. A sign says "Bank Here". (1:03) At (1:06) three men post in front of a sign that says "Hell on Earth Here". The July 4th Parade goes down a street, a man leading it holds the American flag (1:13).

This 1949 Shell Oil produced educational film is one of a series of six that presents basic information about "How An Airplane Flies". This one is about drag, or the resistance of air on the forward movement of aircrafts. It depicts the parasite drag as well as skin friction and how to combat or minimize the effects of the drag. It opens with an airplane taking off from a runway and provides the information that as it takes off, the air moving under the wing creates lift which enables it to fly (:35). Drag is when air resists the movement of any flying object (:47), in this case a Curtiss-Wright AT-9 Jeep airplane. A demonstration of drag includes a happy, romantic couple walking together freely when sheltered by the wind (1:10) and how when winds are high it is more difficult to move forward against it (1:17). The greater the frontal area presented, the greater the resistance (1:23). A demonstration follows with oars in the water to show this more effectively (1:39). When the waters resistance is high, big swirls are seen and when the resistance is low small swirls are seen (2:04). A man in a rowboat. A study of the movement of air is shown by blowing smoke through a wind tunnel apparatus (2:19). This makes the air flow visible and an object is set within the apparatus (2:24). A flat plate is first used (2:31) followed by a ball which creates a less violent swirl (2:41). A streamline shape is seen added with a tail and nose (3:02). The smoke moves smoothly over it’s surface (3:07). A balance is used to weigh various objects (3:23) connected to a swinging arm and scale plate (3:32). A pointer is shown which depicts when the object is balanced (3:36). The pointer is seen raised as a wind machine is directed at the flat plate (3:52) and this flat plate...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fa38384e-3b9e-4c61-b3b7-f72810443fa0/92f6e280-ade9-434f-977a-5aeee867d269-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wU6uuz6oYmhxULqCRiSK1m</video:player_loc><video:duration>876</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T18:26:01.463Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wTMDdn6PpaV8yfqJ76dsjt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/591a43e5-b814-419a-b2ee-416431306591.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WASHINGTON D.C.

GOODRICH LIFESAVER RADIAL TIRE PROMO FILM JC10174</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films? Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This promo film for the Tournament of Thrills Auto Daredevils was produced by B.F. Goodrich to showcase their Lifesaver Radial Tires. It likely dates to about 1970. At the time, the Tournament of Thrills was featured on ABC's Wide World of Sports and viewed by over 1 million people worldwide. The Tournament of Thrills daredevil stunt show dated to the 1950s but started with using Mustangs in 1965 Mustangs. Several more 1969 models were ordered in 1968, and after 1969 the Maverick. The show was based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and toured the nation which included a regular run at the Golden Gate Speedway in Tampa, Florida and the Palm Beach Speedway. The show featured drivers from around the nation, in competition. ABC's Wide World of Sport and DBS TV Sport Spectacular covered several of the shows. At 3:12, legendary driver Buzz Bundy is shown driving a Ford Maverick. Bundy was called the "King of Ski" for his ability to drive a four wheel car on two wheels for long distances -- as he demonstrates here. The film then shows a Mustang, a Maverick and a Pinto all riding on two wheels (4:09) before concluding with spectacular jumps.

A typical ad (this one from 1972) for the tires proclaimed: "When the Tournament of Thrills daredevils do the driving, their spins, jumps, and turns put a lot of wear on their cars and our tires. But B.F.Goodrich Life-saver Radials are built to take it, on two wheels or four. B.F.Goodrich Lifesavers are American radials that offer better handling, mileage and durability than ordinary tires. In fact,' during the seven consecutive years the Tournament of Thrills has been on BFG radials, they have yet to experience a single tire failure, regardless of the brutal punishment these Dynacor Rayon corded tires take."

This rare film promotes the TG Racing team and its stable of Trans Am race cars, which raced in Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) series. It likely dates to 1970. TG was founded in 1968 by champion-winning owner Terry Godsall (thus the TG) and veteran racecar driver Jerry Titus. Titus, who became widely known as "Mr. Trans Am", won a class victory and placed third overall at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1969, but the following year he died after a bad accident at Milwaukee.   
 
GM's Pontiac division originally provided the TG Team with five Firebirds for competition, including Pontiac's original silver Trans Am. The cars shown here are #73 driven by John Cordt and #79 driven by David Hobbs. The team's success was limited however as a result of the car's unreliable engine. 

The Trans Am is the Firebird's “big brother,” essentially the same car but with better performance options, a more powerful engine, and more high-end interior options. But although there are numerous differences between the two, their convertible tops are interchangeable.

This silent 1970’s color film depicts the prototype, two seat Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II trainer jet aircraft ( technically known as the YA-10B ) developed for the United States Air Force, during test flight takeoffs and landings (TRT 10:10). Flying in the second seat is U.S. Air Force Major General and Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, who was an advocate of aviation and the A-10 program. Many A-10s were based at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, Arizona and the nearby test range is now named in Goldwater's honor. The YA-10B shown was the only one of its kind produced. It was originally intended as a prototype for an A-10 trainer / all weather and night attack expansion of the A-10A Warthog, but no money was allocated for further production of the variant so it remained a one-off. Today this aircraft is on display at Edwards AFB. 

A silver-haired Sen. Barry Goldwater, wearing glasses, sits in the open cockpit of the YA-10B aircraft, speaking to several engineers from Fairchild-Republic and USAF personnel huddled around him. One of the airmen climbs into the front cockpit as the camera pans (0:09). Zoom out to reveal both cockpits in full. Zoom in on flight mechanics standing on the ground below (0:30). The cockpit is further inspected. Necks crane to see something out of view (0:54). Photographers stand on yellow scaffolding to photograph the pilot and his team (1:13).

This color, silent film shows footage of the Lockheed C-5A Galaxy cargo aircraft during its ground taxi tests, and flight tests in 1968. The first C-5A Galaxy (serial number 66-8303) was rolled out of the manufacturing plant in Marietta, Georgia, on 2 March 1968. On 30 June 1968, flight testing of the C-5A began with the first flight, flown by Leo Sullivan, with the call sign "eight-three-oh-three heavy".  It is believed that the film includes the first flight of the aircraft at Marietta, Georgia, 30 June 1968. The aircraft shown in the film, 66-8303, was destroyed after a fuel purge resulted in a build-up of fumes, causing an explosion and ground fire at Marietta in 1970.

This color educational film is an episode of the 'True Adventure' series that features a religious community in Kentucky that performs ecstatic demonstrations of belief with snakes - a so-called "serpent cult". Copyright circa the early 1960s. Snake handling, also called serpent handling, as shown in the show is a religious rite observed in a small number of isolated churches, mostly in the United States. Participants are typically part of the Holiness, Pentecostals, Charismatics, or other evangelical movements. At least one of the persons shown in the film, serpent handler Lee Valentine, died from snake venom. The practice of snake handling is still exercised in the USA, although some of the most controversial practices, such as drinking snake venom, have been abandoned. (In Kentucky at least, snake handling is now forbidden and subject to fines.)

This circa 1952 kinescope film "Hawthorne Looks at the Weather" is a segment featuring comedian Jim Hawthorne. It begins with a station identification for KNBH Channel 4, Hollywood, California. This was the first iteration of what's now known as KNBC or NBC4, with the NBH standing for National Broadcasting Hollywood (the name changed to KNBC in 1962 when the station moved to Burbank). The show features a series of gags while promoting sponsor Armstrong Tires. The actual weather report is finally given at 4:00.

Jim Hawthorne (November 20, 1918 – November 6, 2007) was an American radio personality and comic actor. He was a disc jockey who was a pioneer of "free form" radio. Hawthorne was born in Victor, Colorado and began his career at a Denver radio station. He eventually landed in Los Angeles, California where he worked not only in radio, but also in early television and short films. In 1950, he created, produced and starred in the Saturday night coast-to-coast radio program, The Hawthorne Thing, which was the final network radio show to originate in NBC's Hollywood Radio City. At KLAC/Channel 13 in the early 1950s, he created the first late evening talk show on television, This Is Hawthorne. An article in the LA Times reflecting on early TV described the show as "predecessor of NBC's Saturday Night Live." On KNBH/Channel 4, beginning in 1952, he did a daily five-minute weather show. In 1958, Jim traveled to KYA-San Francisco and created Voice Your Choice, which he brought to KDAY. In the early 1960s, while doing Instant Weather on KTTV/Channel 11, Hawthorne joined KFWB as assistant PD and morning DJ, and eventually became VP, National Program Manager for Crowell-Collier Broadcasting. While still at KFWB he joined Sherman Grinberg Productions as a writer, producer, narrator.

While the opening title proclaims "This is America", this film is actually the first half a 1960s documentary called "The Secrets of St. Louis" (the "This is America" title was apparently spliced on by a previous owner; we don't have the second half of the film). This documentary reveals "secret" locations around St. Louis, Missouri such as Lafayette Park, Soulard Market and Calvary and Bellefontaine Cemeteries.  Many places that no longer exist are shown including the Kerry Patch neighborhood, as well as renovated landmarks like the DeMenil Mansion, the Old Post Office, the Central West End and Eads Bridge.

The film opens with a shot through wrought iron fences encircling Lafayette Park (1:30). Marquis de Lafayette had given his name to this park in 1839 as he was a French aristocrat and military officer who had fought in the American Revolutionary War. The center of Lafayette Square is seen lined with oriental stone with decorative gates and landscaping to complete the look (1:45). A cannon from the American Revolution, that was raised from the Charleston harbor, sits in the park (2:14). St. Louis afforded $50,000 for the wrought iron fences shown (2:34). These matched the style of the houses which had been brought over by visitors of Paris’s Napoleon III. The houses were the work of the top architects of the 1870’s (2:50). An example of the picturesque style is seen in the rounded windows (2:54) and elaborate corniches. This particular neighborhood was constructed during the post-Civil War years (3:01). Benton Place is one of the areas that held the style of the times (3:23). A view of some of the houses that had been constructed in the late Victorian style appear (3:39).

One of Southern California's first motorcycle clubs, and one of the first in the nation to have a Hispanic / Chicano membership, The Psychos (also known as Los Psychos) formed in San Bernardino after WWII and quickly developed a reputation for toughness. While The Psychos became known for some of their community activities -- including supporting military veterans and participating in events to promote the preservation of Route 66 -- an offshoot of the club known as Vatos MC has a more notorious history.

Shot in the 1970s by a proud member of the club, this silent home movie documents a typical weekend ride on Harleys and choppers. The film starts near Pixley, California between Bakersfield and Tulare, and shows members of the club riding on the freeway during a rainstorm. The material was filmed from a car (:00). The men gas up their bikes at the gas station, the vests the men wear read: Psychos Redlands (:14). A man sleeps inside a house (:35). A woman cooks breakfast for the club members. The woman shows her pinky finger, either meaning "up yours" to the cameraman or possibly just an attempt to be fancy (1:19). A man in sweat pant bottoms walks into the room (1:13). Two women talk outside. A man tries to kiss one of the women who laugh (1:25). A woman walks by, smiles, sits on a motorcycle (1:43). Two men look at a motorcycle (2:06). The club's bikes are now lined up outside of a diner; next door is a laundromat and a hair salon (2:16). Inside a room in the salon (?), a woman talks to one of the Psychos, she appears to smoke a joint or marijuana cigarette. Another guy next to them sits on a toilet, seems to be in another world (2:30). Oe of the women hair stylists walks into the salon (2:56). A Chicano couple walk on a sidewalk (2:56). Motorcycles shown parked (3:17).

This film is about NASA’s Gemini program and the sixth manned mission, Gemini VIII. Gemini 8 (officially Gemini VIII) launched March 16, 1966. The mission included the first docking of two spacecraft in orbit, but had to be aborted after the Gemini's OAMS thrusters malfunctioned. Thanks to command pilot Neil Armstrong's fast thinking, the crew returned safely to Earth. 

It opens with the NASA seal (:10) and the crew composed of Neil Armstrong (who had resigned his commission and so flew as a civilian) and Lieutenant Colonel David Scott in the pilot’s ready room at Launch Complex 16 (:23). Their pressure suits are checked by technicians (:33). The objective of this flight was to perform the first docking in space with a target vehicle (:39). It was planned to take three days and include a two-hour spacewalk (:44) as well as the first time use of a power tool in space. The pair is seen stepping out in full suit (:49) and heading to pad 19. Over at pad 14, the target vehicle Atlas-Agena was counting down (1:00). Gemini’s crew walks up the ramp leading to the erector elevator (1:23) carrying portable air conditioning units (1:27). The elevator carries the crew to the White Room which surrounds the space craft (1:39). The Atlas launch vehicle is seen igniting (2:10) and shortly after taking off (2:16). All three of the Atlas-Agena’s major propulsion engines are set to ignite during take off (2:34) with the booster cutting off first after (2:42). The sustainer engine would cut off at 64,190 ft. (2:47). The other two engines remain on in order to position the craft into position and would cut off before the Atlas was to separate (3:01). The crew on the ground watches as it takes to orbit (3:22). Countdown of Gemini’s launch continues (3:36) and it then takes off the pad at (3:55). After about 20 second...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/25d3d248-cf27-4da1-92d8-75b297e6edcf/764787ab-2b06-4bfe-ab49-52bedc9f8340-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5EVy71yeAiBX4JVZna9eH2</video:player_loc><video:duration>661</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T19:14:59.808Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jHyRignJFc4d4zguTdSSum</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/680c39eb-11c5-4857-a927-2ee20b953233.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WISCONSIN CERTIFIED SEEDS   1953 SMALL GRAIN AGRICULTURE GENETICS  SEED PRODUCTION &amp; BREEDING 12894</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This color educational film directed by E.D. Holden and photographed by Freeman Brown and Walter Melves is about the procedures done in developing new varieties of small grains and the production of Wisconsin Certified Seeds. This was made in 1953 by the University of Wisconsin.  As the film makes clear, Wisconsin Certified Seed is developed through careful study and genetic modification through generations. Care is taken to protect varietal purity and to provide seed of sound mechanical quality. It is produced directly from certified Foundation seed stocks supplied to the seed producers each year by the  UofW College of Agricultural and Life Sciences or other certified Foundation seed stock sources. Seed production fields are inspected by the Wisconsin Farm Improvement Association for varietal purity, isolation and freedom from severe weed problems. The seed, after conditioning, is sampled and laboratory tested for varietal and mechanical purity and germination. Each bag of seed, which meets certification standards, is tagged with an official Certified seed label.

Opening: Wisconsin Certified Seeds (:07-:50). Tractor in a wheat field. A tractor farms wheat crop. A farmer walks through a wheat field and pulls apart a grain. He looks at another piece of wheat. Two researchers assist the farmer. A man opens a grain flower. With tweezers he removes the flower (:51-3:15). A plastic bag is used to mark the flower this was done on. Inside a seed house, a man studies samples. Heads are crushed by hand leaving few grains. Seed packages are put in order. These are placed in a small box (3:16-4:48). Experimental plots for grain planting. Men plow. Grain breeders plant hundreds of different seeds. A hand drops seeds into the dirt. The area is then raked (4:49-6:00). Men look at what's growing.

This untitled black-and-white home-style film depicts scenes across Morocco’s “red city,” Marrakesh, during Ramadan in 1933. The film consists of footage of what appears to be La Mamounia Hotel, outdoor trading markets, portions of the Marrakesh Medina, and finally the world famous Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. This film was likely shot and put together by a foreign tourist or expat (possibly French) as access to cameras amongst local Moroccans was still limited at this time. Additionally, the person filming seems to always be far removed from the activities of the locals that are caught on camera - such as the outdoor market and the performances in Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. At this time, Morocco existed as a French protectorate known as “French Morocco” which lasted from 1912 until 1956 and was governed by French colonial rule. The protectorate was officially established 30 March 1912, when Sultan Abd al-Hafid signed the Treaty of Fez, though the French military occupation of Morocco had begun with the invasion of Oujda and the bombardment of Casablanca in 1907. 

Camera pans lush gardens, interior courtyard of what is perhaps La Mamounia Hotel built in combination of art deco and traditional Islamic architectural styles (0:08). Minaret of Koutoubia Mosque seen in distance, towers over tall trees (0:48). Pool area shaded by manicured shrubs, trees (0:52).

This silent Kodak Cinegraph educational / documentary film takes a brief look at the Golden Eagle. Kodak began selling Cinegraph films in 1927 for home and school use and renting them out on loan. Clearly, this as an early nature documentary and as such a rare piece of film history. 

The Golden Eagle resides in the northern hemisphere and is the most widely distributed species of eagles. Their coloring is dark brown with golden plumage on their wings. One of the birds to be shown is called William and the bird’s sister is pictured next to him (:34). Female eagles are traditionally larger than their male counterparts. Two baby chicks (1:17) are seen within the nest as the male and female eagle stand over the nest flapping their wings (2:01). William takes off from the nest for a fly about (2:17). The camera captures the eagle in the tree tops (2:37). A falconer is seen as a large eagle pecks at his legs and shoes (3:09). The puncture holes from the bird are zoomed in on (3:19). An eagle takes off and lands swiftly onto the falconer’s forearm (3:32). The man tosses a lure out to draw the eagle back in (4:03). Slow motion footage is provided of the bird swooping down for the bait (4:14). The eagle catches the lure midair (4:33) and lands on the man’s fist shortly afterwards (5:05). The camera is then angled in such a way so that the eagle is viewed flying directly towards it (5:45). In one attempt, the bird flies past the man’s arm without landing (6:24). The bird is captured walking over rocks with it’s wings extended (6:52) as a second eagle flies in next to it (6:59). An eagle picks at an animal carcass for nourishment (7:06). The film concludes with close up shots of the eagle’s head as it blinks it’s eyes (7:11).

This collection of 1940s music videos, also known more widely as "soundies", was released by Official Films. It features some outstanding performances by African American singers, jazz performers and boogie woogie musicians. 

The first features Cab Calloway and his orchestra performing "Blues in the Night". The credits indicate was film was originally produced by Minoco, which was owned by Mills Novelty of Chicago. For a time, Mills made a sort of closed-loop 16mm video juke box known as a Panoram. The film dates after 1942, when Calloway first released the song. Cabell "Cab" Calloway III was strongly associated with the Cotton Club in Harlem, New York City, where he was a regular performer and became a popular vocalist of the swing era. His career spanned over 65 years.

 At screen time 14:56 trumpeter Louis Armstrong and his band, as well as Nicodemus, are featured in "Shine". This was produced by R.C.M. Productions / Sam Coslow and directed by a Russian emigre named Josef Berne. R.C.M. was actually an acronym of the last names of company founders Roosevelt, Coslow, and Mills. R.C.M. owned the trademark to the term "soundies" back in the day. Shine was originally recorded by Satchmo in 1931. 

At 17:49, the gospel group The Charioteers are presented by Minoco singing "Oh, Susannah". 

At 20:39, Fats Waller is presented by Minoco singing  "Ain't Misbehavin'". This was directed by Warren Murray and produced by Fred Waller. This was one of Waller's standards, with his  innovative Harlem stride style, which laid the groundwork for modern jazz piano, clearly on display. The performance dates to 1938; Waller died in 1943 at the age of 39.

At 23:54, Maurice Rocco presents Rhumboogie, produced and directed by William Forest Crouch. Crouch is probably best known for having directed Astor Picture's African American musical "R...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/69bceee1-7229-4d34-9dd7-ba1bd22e5225/8a28336c-3cf8-424e-b77c-6cb039f7243e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/e4iFLUgh1ojEBZxuvZfy2c</video:player_loc><video:duration>912</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T19:25:49.648Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/688Ea8GuHRb5qGWxHPwFUX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f41b29b9-9777-4fe5-8493-0631ed6e728e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. ARMY TRAINING FILM   FIRST AID   SNAKE BITE  POISONING  ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION PROTOCOL  11774</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This is a 1950s, black and white film produced by the U.S. Army . The film’s purpose is to show G.I.s simple first aid techniques to apply before proper medical aid can be administered. Several scenarios are shown including snake bite, chemical burn, poisoning, drowning, and more. The film opens with the image of the caduceus as a symbol of medicine. The caduceus is the traditional symbol of Hermes and features two snakes winding around an often-winged staff. Across the image reads, “as a soldier, you may be called upon to perform duties that may threaten your health… Or even your life. Medical personnel may not always be immediately available. It is up to you to know the fundamentals of first-aid which you can apply to yourself or to others… whether you’re at home, in garrison or in the field.” Three soldiers sit in the field as a rattlesnake approaches 1:00. One of the soldiers has been bit on the arm. The snake is killed for later identification. The two other soldiers keep the man calm 2:00. A soldier opens a first-aid kit and a tourniquet is applied 2:25. The iodine applicator is opened and iodine applied to the wound 2:40. The lancet blade is disinfected with a flame 2:46. Two incisions are made under both fang marks 3:07. A truck arrives and the man is loaded on to get to medical attention 3:50. The dead snake is brought along 4:15. The poison is sucked out with the suction pump in the first-aid kit 4:35. An ammonia inhalant is crushed to keep the victim alert 5:30.

This brief promo film from the 1950s shows duckpin bowling, a form of "small pin bowling". Another well known version is "candlepin bowling". These types of bowling do not use a heavy ball, and throwing the ball does not involve a twist of the wrist. It also does not place any stress on the fingers, making it ideal for players of all ages and types. 

This film likely was made to promote the automatic duckpin setter which is shown in the film. It was designed and patented by engineer Ken Sherman. Sherman's refusal to sell the manufacturing rights to Brunswick, the king of the bowling industry, hurt duckpin sales. In 1963, fewer than 500 duckpin lanes were in business, and that number has shrunk to fewer than 50 today. 

Duckpin balls are ​4 3⁄4 in  to 5 in  in diameter, weigh about 3 ½ pounds, and lack finger holes. They are thus significantly smaller than those used in ten-pin bowling but are slightly larger and heavier than those used in candlepin bowling.

Duckpins, though arranged in a triangle identical to that used in ten-pin bowling, are shorter, slightly thinner, and lighter than their ten-pin equivalents, which makes it more difficult for the smaller ball to achieve a strike. For this reason, similar to candlepin bowling, the bowler is allowed three rolls per frame.

Candlepin bowling is a variation of bowling that is played primarily in the Canadian Maritime provinces and the New England region of the United States. It is played with a handheld-sized ball and tall, narrow pins that resemble candles.

Opening on the New York skyline and the United Nations Headquarters building constructed in 1950, this documentary short film honors the U.N.’s landmark as a “workshop for peace”. Produced by the United Nations Department of Public Information in the late 1950s as part of a broader series, this film footage takes viewers on a tour through the United Nations Headquarters in New York City. Near panoramic and bird’s eye view footage of the historically significant building continues as flags and other symbols are depicted and visitors are shown walking throughout to listen to the debates within (01:00-02:25). Features like the ceiling pendulum and other statues are viewed in awe by passersby. The General Assembly hall is shown at 03:00 as the narrator explains its use by delegate countries. Equipment, namecards, and seating is double-checked by the facility staff. Soviet Union representative Andrei Gromyko is shown being filmed speaking in front of the assembly while record-keepers take note behind the scenes (05:19-06:05). Mr. Gromyko was appointed Permanent Representative of the Soviet Union to the United Nations in April of 1946. News correspondents also work behind the scenes at the UN headquarters in order to document proceedings and share them with the world. The history of the building’s architecture and its visitors is explained (07:25-09:00). A scene in which emissaries from British Togoland speak to the U.N. council is depicted, resulting in Ghana’s membership being accepted into the United Nations (09:23-11:20). The visitor tour continues to the Chamber of the Economic and Social Council at 11:24. However, some portions of the headquarters, like the Secretariat, are not part of the visitor tour as the narrator explains at 15:30.

This silent, black and white home movie appears to date to 1932, the year that James "Jimmy" Doolittle flew the GeeBee racing aircraft and won the Thompson Trophy at the National Air Races. The 1932 races were held in Cleveland Ohio August 27 to September 5. As it was the height of the "plane craze", many new racing planes debuted at the N.A.R. In addition to the Bendix race from Burbank, California to Cleveland there were six other cross-country races, twenty-one closed course races and two speed dashes.

The film  opens with a view of the airfield and the grandstand of the National Air Races in Cleveland Ohio. The radio tower marked " Bendix " (mirrored in this case as the film is flipped) can be seen in the foreground at :35. The GeeBee airplane rolls across the field to a soft landing 1:11. Men approach the plane and escort it towards the grandstand 1:40. The plane is taxied by the men to a group of people assembled under an American flag 2:00. Flags flying with the letters N.A.A ( National Aeronautic Association ) ripple in the breeze 2:16. A biplane, billowing smoke make sharp turns on the grassy field 2:44. The biplane maneuvers dangerously close to the ground 3:26. The biplane is piloted by a man in the top hat 3:30. A biplane loops upside down over the airfield 3:47.

Made in the wake of the deadly West Berlin discotheque bombing and other Reagan era incidents, this color U.S. Air Force training film "Terrorism: A Survivable Threat" is about the threat that terrorism poses for U.S. military personnel living overseas. The film presents various scenarios including a car bombing, drive by assassination, and an ambush. The primary lesson is that personnel must always remain alert and not fall into routines or get too distracted. The film also suggests that staying in, and not circulating locally or sightseeing, might be the best policy where safety is concerned. Copyright is 1986.

This home movie shows a trip to Asia in 1946. It is part of a group of 16mm movies shot by an unknown American who was working for the OMEA, or Officer's Moral Endeavor Association, a sort of non-governmental, YMCA type group operating in post-WWII China. The group was probably a Catholic organization, and possibly the person filming this was a member of the clergy as many churches are shown in the film. It's unclear where this footage was shot -- but the first section is in Shanghai which suffered record flooding in 1946. There's also footage that appears to have been shot in rural areas outside the city.

Made for the U.S. Army, this late 1950s / early 1960s film features the fundamental principles of diodes and triodes. It was presented by The Bray Studios Incorporated (:11). It opens with diode fundamentals (:28) showing electron components comprised of semiconductor material (:34). A transistor (:42) is an amplifier serving with the same purpose as a triode vacuum tube. A crystal rectifier is shown (:51). A circuit is demonstrated to conduct current in a single direction (1:18) as a light bulb is lit. When the voltage is reversed, the light bulb remains off (1:25). Animation shows how the crystal of the crystal rectifier (1:41) is composed of semiconductor material such as silicon (1:49). A simple DC circuit is shown (2:17). Electrons within the wire current move towards the positive battery terminal (2:21). A close up shot shows the two halves types of the crystal (2:52) which have been chemically treated. One half of the material is called the N-type (3:06) and the other is the P-type (3:10). The N-type material  (3:27). Foreign atoms are introduced and contribute free electrons to the crystal (3:46). These move about at high speeds (4:06). As the crystal is heated, the movement is increased (4:17) and it slows as the crystal cools (4:23). This rate of motion is thermal agitation (4:31).

It shows the engines they produced for the Saturn V launch vehicle and provides an in depth look at the newly designed nozzle. It is presented by Rocketdyne (:10). The film opens with the information that the Rocketdyne liquid propellant engines have been reliable in support of the national military and civilian aerospace programs (:25). The Saturn V vehicle (:34). Rocketdyne had developed two propulsion systems for this vehicle. The first is the high thrust kerosene fuel engine (:38) and the second being the high energy hydrogen fueled engine. The first stage of the moon rocket is powered by five F1 liquid repellant oxygen kerosene rocket engines (:46) and each of these produces more than 100,500,000 tons of thrust (:53). This engine was also the highest liquid propellant engine that had been developed thus far (1:09). The second stage was powered by five of their J-2 engines (1:14) and the third by a single J-2 engine (1:27). Footage follows from a camera set on the first stage of the uprated Saturn V launch vehicle and it shows the first two stages as they drop off (1:37) as well as the altitude ignition of the J-2 engine. The bell-shaped model nozzle is pointed to (2:01) which directs the flow of gases from the rocket engines. Engineers worked to reduce the nozzle length and improve efficiency which lead to the creation of aerodynamic nozzle (2:23). The two model nozzles are shown in comparison (2:33). The aerodynamic nozzle’s primary flow is controlled by the outer wall through atmospheric pressure and a secondary flow was introduced through the center of the annulus (2:41). An annular toroidal shaped combustion chamber was created in order to match the form of the new nozzle (3:06). In addition, the shorter length of the new nozzle allowed longer propellant tanks to be used (3:53). A span of the small sized designs that resulted from years o...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/040cae7e-0429-4910-986c-cd899905ac79/66b1f688-36f7-4b5f-9550-59a13690d0a3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1v1byU2aBBkypKZnrjSFr4</video:player_loc><video:duration>291</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T20:03:40.149Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tTQQEwNJHcX3vMqzrsYHPF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/75c156f5-051c-49db-9f94-46bf0de48f43.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s TRIP TO MEXICO   MEXICO CITY  TEPOZTLAN   TAXCO  CUERNAVACA  ACAPULCO  BULLFIGHT 44684</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Dating to 1941, this black and white, silent film from Castle "War in the East  British-Greek Victories" chronicles the Italian victory in Ethiopia in 1936, and shows some of the early successes that the Greek Army achieved against Italian forces, and British successes in North Africa -- in particular the Battle of Bardia -- in 1940-41. While largely forgotten, both of the campaigns shown in this film had meaningful impact on the war. In particular, Greece's defeat of Mussolini's forces in 1940 was "The First Victory" against Axis forces in WWII. The embarrassing losses suffered by the Italians indicated that Il Duce's forces were of inferior quality. Most importantly, the situation forced Hitler to invade Greece and thus delayed the opening of Operation Barbarossa, something that might have cost Hitler victory in the East.

Opening titles: Castle Films presents The News Parade - British-Greek Victories (:08).

Dating to the late 1940s, this charming film was directed by Bill Chase and presented by Enterprise Mfg. Co.’s Pflueger Fishing and Tackle, one of the earliest USA fishing tackle companies founded in the end of the 19th century. (Pflueger Enterprise Mfg. Co. in Akron, Ohio made fishing reels from the 1890s to the 1940s.) The film introduces its audience to the city of Guaymas, a leisurely fishing destination along the Gulf of California, dominated by the Spanish Conquistadors in the 16th century (00:30-00:55). Situated on the Gulf of California, the Guaymas harbor on the Sea of Cortez was home to an abundance of fish and became a popular fishing destination for Americans, becoming known as a paradise for fishermen. Apart from human sport fishers, other notable fishermen include seals, sea gulls, and pelicans (01:00-01:30). A simple black and white map shows the route that many fishermen took to get there starting from Tucson, Arizona at 01:40. Traveling south through the Mexican cities of Nogales and Hermosillos, fishermen would reach Guaymas on the coast (02:03-02:15). The city of Guaymas is shown and described. The history of Guaymas includes significant architecture and culture, but international fishermen would usually travel to Hotel Playa de Cortes, which is a twenty minute ride from San Carlos Nuevo Guaymas town and a dozen miles from the Cañon Nacapule Nature Reserve (02:35-03:45). At 04:00, a typical tackle and hook are assembled. Active footage of fishing at sea from the end of a fishing boat is displayed (04:14-04:50). Beginning at 04:53, the audience is given a glimpse at preparing a fish that has been caught. A close-up of a fishing reel is shown at 05:15, followed by more fishing footage. Typical scenes during an expedition are depicted in the film, including pelicans at 08:20.

This film, "Smoking and Lung Cancer" dates to 1960 and was an early attempt to show the deleterious effects of cigarettes. The film depicts an actual patient at the Royal Edward Chest Hospital in Montreal, Canada. The doctors perform diagnostic tests, assessment, and surgical preparation for the removal of a lung from a patient with a long history of cigarette smoking. The close link between smoking and lung cancer, as well as other diseases, is discussed as well but -- because of the era the film was made, a definitive link is not made. 

Opening of film: Patient William Ayres speaks with surgeon D. D. Monroe. They’re discussing his possible carcinoma / lung cancer from cigarette smoking :48. This film is about the dangers of smoking and particularly about Mr. William Ayres who is about to have his lung removed. The movie was filmed in Montreal, Canada.  “For smoothness and flavour”, reads the cigarette advertisement billboard 1:08. Man walking down the street smoking a cigarette 1:20.

This silent, black and white film, shot in the 1950’s -- probably 1956-57 -- contains various segments, including shots of steam trains and what appears to be the 1957 Presidential Inaugural Parade. The film opens with shots of a heavy Norfolk and Western coal train with two large locomotives coming around a mountainside, engines billowing smoke. The engines appear to be 1200 class "A" fast freight locomotives, similar to Norfolk and Western No. 1218 (which the railroad retired in 1959). The train rolls down the track and out of sight. There are two cabooses on the end of the train :38. Another 1200 class locomotive pulls a freight train toward the camera billowing heavy smoke 1:00. The train passes under a walkway 1:10. The train rounds the tracks and a second engine, located in the back of the train is visible 2:05. Images of the heavily graded tracks leading up into the mountains as a passenger train, pulled by a Norfolk and Western J class streamliner,  approaches the camera 2:26. (J class locomotives like this were built to run on the N&amp;W main line between Norfolk, Virginia and Cincinnati, Ohio, pulling the Powhatan Arrow, the Pocahontas and the Cavalier passenger trains as well as ferrying the Southern Railway's the Birmingham Special, the Pelican and the Tennessean between Monroe, Virginia and Bristol, Tennessee.) The train passes 3:15. Another 1200 class N&amp;S locomotive speeds  past 3:20. The 1200 class train slowly moves up the heavy grade 3:46. What appears to be the 1957 inaugural parade for President Dwight Eisenhower in Washington, D.C. Virginia Governor Thomas B. Stanley rides past in a convertible. A Republican Eisenhower-Nixon political float from New York lumbers by 4:02. A banner is carried for Eastern High School in Middletown, Kentucky 4:10.

Made in an era when automobiles lacked the kind of modern safety features and crash-resistant designs that we take for granted today, and featuring bloody accident footage supplied by the Ohio Highway Patrol, "Mechanized Death" reveals the highways and byways as nightmarish avenues of carnage and destruction. The film remains absolutely relevant today, with its cautionary tales about risk taking, speeding, and -- death.

This film from the Ohio State Highway Patrol delivers a powerful message about the devastating consequences of careless driving. Through a series of real-life crash reconstructions, it highlights the deadly impact of speeding, overconfidence, fatigue, mechanical neglect, and driving under the influence. Innocent lives are lost due to preventable choices—rushed decisions, ignored safety measures, and impaired judgment. The recurring plea is clear: take time to think. Whether it's resting during long trips, using seatbelts, or refusing to drive under the influence, drivers hold the responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others. The film ends with a sobering reminder: death is permanent—drive thoughtfully, because your actions matter.

0:00 – Emphasis on the importance of personal responsibility while driving. The key message: "Take time to think."

Shot in the late 1920s or early 30s, this  16mm home movie consists of several sections. In the first, believe to show part of the 1929 Powder Puff Derby women's air race, an airport is seen with various numbered aircraft.  These include Travelair biplane, and what appears to be Pancho Barnes' Travelair Model R Mystery Ship (:13 seconds) taxiing and then taking off.  The biplane at 1:15 is marked NC4615, apparently a Waco GXE. At 1:30, a Ford Trimotor is seen at the airport and takes off in a plume of smoke.  Shortly afterwards the film shows home movies of a family and the forest, horse riding and jumping,   and a fox hunt. At 3:50, probably shot in the 1940s, a seaplane is seen landing on the Hudson River. The pilot then takes us on a flight over the Hudson River, where you will see the cruiser USS Columbus (7:26), the wharves of New York City, and more. You will see "Columbus" written on the side of the ship, which may indicate that this footage was shot in 1945 after V-E Day, when American warships returned from the war with their names painted on the side.  At 8:12 the Statue of Liberty is seen, and the skyline at 8:47. At 9:50 the aircraft carrier USS Croatan is seen, as well as a submarineWe encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

This rare WWII British film shows the operation of a Sea Fort, a fortified tower equipped with anti-aircraft guns and heavy artillery.  These so-called Palmerston Forts were built in the Solent, off Portsmouth. The name comes from their association with Lord Palmerston, who was Prime Minister at the time and promoted the idea.  (There were also Maunsell Forts which were built in the Thames and Mersey estuaries during the Second World War to help defend the United Kingdom. They were operated as army and navy forts, and named after their designer, Guy Maunsell.) The forts were decommissioned in the late 1950s and later used for other activities including pirate radio broadcasting. One of the forts is now managed by the unrecognised Principality of Sealand; boats visit the remaining forts occasionally, and a consortium called Project Redsands is planning to conserve the fort situated at Red Sands. In the summers of 2007 and 2008 Red Sands Radio, a station commemorating the pirate radio stations of the 1960s, operated from the Red Sands fort on 28-day Restricted Service Licences. The fort was subsequently declared unsafe, and Red Sands Radio has moved its operations ashore to Whitstable.The Palmerston Forts are a group of forts and associated structures around the coasts of the United Kingdom and Ireland.The forts were built during the Victorian period on the recommendations of the 1860 Royal Commission on the Defence of the United Kingdom, prompted by concerns about the strength of the French Navy, and strenuous debate in Parliament about whether the cost could be justified. The name comes from their association with Lord Palmerston, who was Prime Minister at the time and promoted the idea. They were the most costly and extensive system of fixed defences undertaken in Britain in peacetime.The Maunsell naval (sea) fort...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/baf94939-524b-4094-8053-f286979a5540/4bd6bf28-a7be-4df7-9911-5e2477a1edbe-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/p6872Tqsc6huC1JER6qLUq</video:player_loc><video:duration>382</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T21:04:42.345Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vdwcRo86cwLGkej7Vk5rZY</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8cfda1da-bafc-462c-b21e-3f8ffaee837e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MOTION PICTURE HISTORY OF THE KOREAN WAR   ARMED FORCES INFO FILM  80904x</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

A Motion Picture History of the Korean War (AFIF 85) describes the Korean War from the U.S. perspective. The film begins with a brief overview of Korea’s geography and its capital city, Seoul (01:19), as it rebuilds following the war. While it is relatively quiet today, on 25 June 1950, artillery shots (03:05) mark an all-out attack on South Korea from the communist North, prompting U.S. President Harry Truman (03:40) to order U.S. forces to provide assistance to South Korea. At the United Nations, Warren Austin (03:53) makes the American position clear to the world body: the U.S. is answering South Korea’s appeal for help. Seoul falls (04:33) on 28 June, and communist forces cross the Han River. In Suwon (05:00), refugees gather but then must flee the invading force yet again. The U.S. Korean Volunteer Air group pilots a handful of Korean planes (05:18) while elements of the 24th Division are airlifted to Korea (05:24). More 24th Division troops and equipment arrive (07:20) to bolster the force. Gen. Walton Walker and Gen. William F. Dean (07:34) are tasked with defending South Korea. In July, the U.S. sends more than fifty B-29s from Yakota Air Base in Japan (08:31) to conduct the first major bombing campaign, targeting Wonsan, a North Korean port city. U.S. troops in the south fall back across the Kum River (09:08). F-80 jets leave Japan to add more air power to the effort (09:30), and a Navy Task Force arrives at the coast (10:40) with 27,000 men of the First Calvary Division. Communist forces push south to Taejon, where the 24th Division led by General Dean lose the city and Dean is among those captured. Behind the Nakdong River (12:26), U.S. forces dig in and fire heavy artillery to keep the enemy from advancing. Major General William B. Kean (13:45) carries out the first major offensive with Task Force Kean, comp...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ec988f7a-73bc-44c6-9e70-6531e8834e16/6f3660b8-5a9d-4210-9967-c0678ef7e77c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vdwcRo86cwLGkej7Vk5rZY</video:player_loc><video:duration>3351</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T21:12:23.802Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nTktctwDNMYpnuyDqLCqhu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9ea61b06-6125-4f08-af54-9f0dca0f9452.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SILENT SERVICE TV SHOW PILOT EPISODE "THE JACK AT TOKYO"  82894</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Hosted by Rear Admiral Thomas Dykers, THE SILENT SERVICE was an early TV show that showcased the activity of the U.S. Navy's submarine force in WWII. This episode THE JACK AT TOKYO served as the show's pilot, and tells the story of the USS Jack's sixth war patrol. During this patrol, Jack was damaged while making an attack against a Japanese convoy. Spoiler alert: the boat commanded during the attack ... by none other than Dykers.USS Jack (SS-259) was a Gato-class submarine, her keel was laid down by the Electric Boat Company, Groton, Connecticut 2 February 1942. Jack's operations during the Pacific War are chronicled in Silent Running: My Years on a World War II Attack Submarine.To start the sixth war patrol shown in the episode, the submarine sailed from Fremantle 6 August 1944 to the Celebes Sea. Attacking a convoy 29 August, she sank a small minesweeper (Minesweeper No 28) and started in pursuit of a cargo ship. After her torpedo missed and she was raked with gunfire by her adversary, Jack deftly evaded the attacker and returned later to sink Mexico Maru. Jack arrived at Fremantle following this patrol 24 September 1944.The submarine conducted several other war patrols and was given to the Greek Navy after WWII, and then eventually sunk as a target in 1967.We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

This amateur 16mm silent home movie shows some of the events the day the USS Yorktown was launched. It dates to 21 January, 1943.  Unfortunately, this film is missing the "sliding down the ways" section -- it was apparently removed at some point as there is a splice in the movie. However it is still quite an interesting bit of history, captured by a civilian who observed the event.Work was begun on (what was then called) Bonhomme Richard when her keel was laid down on 1 December 1941 at Newport News, Virginia, by the Newport News Shipbuilding &amp; Drydock Company, six days before the Attack on Pearl Harbor. She was renamed on 26 September 1942 as USS Yorktown, and launched on 21 January 1943, sponsored by Eleanor Roosevelt. Yorktown was commissioned on 15 April 1943, with Captain Joseph J. Clark in command.USS Yorktown (CV/CVA/CVS-10) is one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II for the United States Navy. She was named after the Battle of Yorktown of the American Revolutionary War, and is the fourth U.S. Navy ship to bear the name. Initially to have been named Bonhomme Richard, she was renamed Yorktown while still under construction to commemorate the loss of USS Yorktown (CV-5) during the Battle of Midway in June 1942. Yorktown was commissioned in April 1943, and participated in several campaigns in the Pacific Theater of Operations, earning 11 battle stars and the Presidential Unit Citation.We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

This color, silent film is raw footage from the Vietnam War. It is circa the late 1960s. It primarily shows views shot from inside a Bell UH-1 Iroquois aka Huey helicopter, which was being used to conduct some kind of survey over large swaths of land which are on fire. It's hard to say what is going on definitively. In Southeast Asia and Vietnam, rice residues are routinely burned after the harvest to prepare fields for the next season...so it's possibly that. On the other hand, it might be that these are the aftermath of an airstrike and that the Hueys are being used to make an assessment of the success of that mission.The footage starts with shot from a UH-1s door of a landscape with smoke billowing from fires. At :30 a G.I. maneuvers towards the helicopter with a Vietnamese man in tow, possibly a prisoner or intelligence asset. They board the chopper. At 1:10, landscape of rice fields and the jungle of Vietnam. At 1:14, smoke billows from the ground. At 1:32, another helicopter is visible far down below, followed by a shot of a curving river possibly the Mekong. At 2:33, multiple helicopters are seen below. At 2:46, a helicopter crewman examines what might be a map, in the open door of the UH-1. At 6:27, shots of the pilot of the Huey. At 7:10, the chopper comes in low, with smoke visible on the horizon. At 7;52, more smoke visible, some of it quite dense. At 8:05, pilot's point of view, the burning area seems very large and possibly the result of an air strike. At 10:01, the pilot's helmet is visible -- it has a picture of a dancing man on it. At 14:40, close shot of burning area with fire visible. At 14:56, a Huey is seen from a distance, flying across a bright sky. At 16:03, the helicopter comes in close to a field for a landing. Villagers are visible in the field. At 16:39, another breathtaking overview of th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f9b512f2-2080-49a7-af1c-485ac9f7d750/45d41b1d-86a5-4292-ad10-65ce1961ad95-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wQqFMtXXKxMkHnv16vATpN</video:player_loc><video:duration>1230</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T21:17:01.029Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8dALt5WvpvHZUjw3YLMsKE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/df5f3a02-dd2f-4d77-9f3f-b0cf82242274.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1967 VIETNAM WAR RAW FOOTAGE  BELL UH-1 HELICOPTERS  JUNGLE PATROL  FIELD HOSPITAL 83454a</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This color film is raw footage shot in the jungles of Vietnam, and includes various segments including shots at a field hospital, a fire base, a jungle patrol, and a riverine patrol. This footage is from September of 1967 (slate at 7:20 / 9:25 says 28 of September, another at 16:13 says 27 of September and says the cameraman is Kalsey). Opening: A patient is being worked on, on a operating table inside a quonset hut.

This historic film THE ARMY DOZEN AND THE H-13K SIOUX ON THE WARPATH was created by Bell Helicopter to showcase 12 "nap of the earth" maneuvers for pilots. Nap-of-the-earth (abbreviated NOE) is a type of very low-altitude flight course used by military aircraft to avoid enemy detection and attack in a high-threat environment.During NOE flight, geographical features are used as cover, exploiting valleys and folds in the terrain by flying in, rather than over, them. This keeps below enemy air defense radar coverage, avoiding being silhouetted against the sky. Other, mostly older terms include "ground-hugging", "terrain masking", "flying under the radar" and "hedgehopping". The so-called “Army Dozen," a series of twisting, weaving and dodging flight configurations developed informally, in some cases borrowed or improved upon from tactics used by agricultural helicopter operators, aimed at using trees, hills, river beds as concealment and to confuse the enemy.  Summarizing some of the maneuvers performed by the H-13K are:• Twists, which arc evasive skids at cruise speeds, spraying machine gun fire to develop enemy locations. • Hit the deck, a rapid descent to avoid getting hit or sustaining additional damage. • Low autorotation comprised of low- level autorotations from three to 15-ft. altitudes. • Jump-fire-run, in which the helicopter executes a sharp vertical climb from a concealed position, stops abruptly at or slightly below tree-top level, fires a ma-chine gun burst at the enemy and then peels off sharply for a getaway. • Reversal, which involves making 180-deg. sharp turns in confined area, using maximum sideward stick displacement • Cornering autorotation, which involves making autorotations from downwind or crosswind cruise, turning 90-deg. into the wind while at three to 15-ft. altitudes. • Pinnacle st...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/631a6bfe-d699-4b28-8844-69ec58bba58b/dfb265a6-3e12-48b7-9ddc-bc42457d6823-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/deMzz3TCBQf4G5FajV3zjT</video:player_loc><video:duration>995</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T21:24:19.962Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4QffJ6RZerA1MY8zR5TJgH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e1ecdb1d-1708-4d70-93b0-01aecb30fa44.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ AUTOMATION - THE NEXT REVOLUTION ”  1963 NEWS FILM   COMPUTERS, ROBOTS &amp; MANUFACTURING  90004</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This color promotional film "Camp Time, Any Time!" was made by the Girl Scouts of America in 1959. It was shot by Leonard Stark, produced by Carol Hale, and directed by Sidney Meyers. The film shows typical activities at a Girl Scout Camp including canoeing, hiking, art and more. The film emphasizes the importance of city kids, who are raised in the hustle and bustle, getting a chance to explore nature. The actual camp site shown in the film is not identified but it appears to be somewhere in the East. The GSA described the film this way in their catalog: "Girl Scouting, through the work of camping committees, helps make it possible for girls to satisfy the urge to enjoy the world of nature. Troop, day, and established camping are defined. Activities shown are appropriate to the kind of camping, age and readiness of girls, site resources. Among others, we see a nature mobile, rock collecting, clearing a stream, weather station, clay firing at night, canoeing, waterfront, trail signs, primitive unit, songs around the campfire. Girls' voices, songs, and sounds of nature add reality. Camping is seen in summer amid colorful fall foliage, in sunny and rainy weather.""

Girl Scouts of the United States of America, is a youth organization for girls in the United States and American girls living abroad. Founded by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912, it was organized after Low met Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, in 1911.

In early 1941 the American Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raided a camp run by the American Bund at Bergwald, New Jersey. This camp was operated by the German American League, a group of American fascists and based around the idea of the so-called "Nazi Youth" camps in Germany. Among the items confiscated by the FBI to be used as evidence against camp founders was this reel of silent 16mm movies which reveal activities in the camp circa 1937-38, complete with title cards in German. At 3:00 a title card reads "Departure of the young people of New York". Another at 11:40 states "Washing and tent order." At 22:24 the American and German flags are shown flying at the camp. At 22:46 a title card declares "Even in winter it goes on" and a separate card says "Leadership training 1937-38". At 26:26 a card proudly declares "Our Work". At 36:48 "Our Girls" shows the female side of the camp. As you can see in the footage, children at the camp were taught Nazi ideology and went through many of the same routines as their German counterparts, including marching, bonfire events, and even Seig Heil'ing and singing of patriotic German songs. The majority of the campers were children or grandchildren of German immigrants and naturalized American citizens who were part of the Bund. This camp and others like it closed after the leader of the German Bund, Fritz Kuhn, was arrested and imprisoned after being charged with embezzlement. The arrest followed an investigation spearheaded by New York's Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, and eventually it led to Kuhn's loss of citizenship and deportation to Germany in 1945. He died in Munich in 1951.  The German American Bund (German: Amerikadeutscher Bund), also known as the German American Federation was a pro-National Socialist organization established in the United States March 29, 1936.

Created by Boeing to promote the new 707 Stratoliner, which at the time had not yet flown commercially, this vintage film shows the airplane's revolutionary cabin design. A mock-up of the cabin (apparently built a bit roomier than the actual aircraft by designer TEAGUE) was unveiled in New York City in 1956. The mock-up appears throughout the film. The cost of the mock-up was about $500,000, and included overhead service units, seatback trays, and target reading lights. The New York Times' Richard Witkin compared the cabin to the "reception room of a high-stepping ad agency".Not surprisingly, the public's fascination with the new jet was so intense that meals were even served to "passenger" visitors aboard the mock-up using the innovative meal trays. The removable interior panels, which are washable as well, are also shown, as well as the aircraft lounge (a feature that apparently made it into a few aircraft). The prototype Boeing 707 aircraft, with its distinctive earth-tone paint scheme, is shown in the film taking off from Boeing field and flying over Washington State.Development of the Stratoliner began in the 1950s with the race to capture the commercial airline market. The plane boasted all the latest luxuries, such as reading lights, flight attendant call buttons, and emergency oxygen masks.The Boeing 707 is a mid-sized, long-range, narrow-body, four-engine jet airliner built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes from 1958 to 1979. Its name is commonly pronounced as "seven oh seven". Versions of the aircraft have a capacity from 140 to 219 passengers and a range of 2,500 to 5,750 nautical miles (4,630 to 10,650 km).Developed as Boeing's first jet airliner, the 707 is a swept-wing design with podded engines. Although it was not the first jetliner in service, the 707 was the first to be commercially successful...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fbb70992-fd9c-4af6-bf85-1558b46fc2ab/b49f43dd-294f-4494-8175-a48393fa77b8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/x5NF6fJA6jBL2UbUVypbqt</video:player_loc><video:duration>508</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T21:48:31.163Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3Ur5TCspJFKBUy7uDYAKW9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/132532d8-0153-44ff-8329-02e92237942e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CAPTURED GERMAN V-2 ROCKET FILM FOOTAGE WORLD WAR II 90140</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

He died in Munich in 1951.  The German American Bund (German: Amerikadeutscher Bund), also known as the German American Federation was a pro-National Socialist organization established in the United States March 29, 1936. Often derided in the press as America’s Brownshirts, the organization was the successor of an earlier German American group, Friends of New Germany, which had a large number of non-American German nationals as its members. The Bund had strong ideological ties to the New Germany however there has never been any evidence National Socialist Germany ever financed the group.

Presented by the U.S. Forest Service, this 1970s training film focuses on the different types of hand tools used in fighting wildfires. The film opens with a raging forest fire. Main title: "Hand Tools for Wildfire.  A Fire Training Film presented by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service." A fire rages in the forest. Different hand tools for the firefighter are shown 1:00. The firefighters are first on the scene and those who use hand tools to manage the fire determine whether the fire will be under control. This film is about the tools that these brave firefighters use to control wildfires 1:10. Tools used in the Northwest. Technique is important. Even on the way to the fire. Fire spread is stopped by building a fire line. Each man has a specific tool for the fire line construction 1:45. A Pulaski is a double purpose tool. It can be used to cut brush with the ax blade and the “hoe end” can pull small brush out by the roots 3:00. The Pulaski can also be used to cut a trench on a slope 3:18. The ax blade is used to cut logs 3:46. The ax blade is used to fall trees 4:10. The Pulaski is followed by the shovel to remove loose materials. The sharp edges clear roots and create deep grooves in the earth 5:00. It can also be used to throw dirt on small brush fires 5:05. The overhand throw with the shovel puts out fires that are higher up 5:30. Water, properly used, can cool a hot fire 5:50. The water stream knocks down distant hotspot so men can move in and work on the area 6:50. The water stream can be used in combination with the shovel and Pulaski 7:45.

One of many films made by Jam Handy for Chevrolet, this black &amp; white salesman training film "The Things People Want" explains the role of the salesmen and demonstrates how a salesman can sell a product to a customer. (The content is fairly universal, and not limited to car sales. As such, the film may have also been used in other industries with Chevrolet receiving some clever product placement as a result.) This film dates to 1948 and stars a young actor named John Forsythe as Don Evans. Opening titles: "The Things People Want" (:06-:14). Women walk in the city. Customers and salesman. A man goes to a person's door to sell. A man, Don Evans, sits at his desk. Jim, the boss, speaks to Don in his office about selling and how to sell (:15-2:47). Don speaks to a salesman about an electric shaver, the salesman doesn't really know the product so Don doesn't buy. Don and Jim look out the window as they discuss the selling process. Selling has four steps: finding prospects, creating the desire to own, getting the decision to buy, delivering the product right (during the steps: a man makes pancakes, newspaper boy sells his papers) (2:48-5:14). Don has a notebook, inside are some cartoons with stick figures to help the salesman: ask questions, let the prospect talk, don't argue, "yes, But," repeat the objection, concentrate on the main objection. Jim continues speaking with Don (5:15-7:33). Jim makes Don think about sales. Don doodles on a piece of paper as he smokes a cigarette. He sits at his desk and tries to figure out what customers want (7:34-9:40). Don sits in a chair at home near the fireplace with his pipe and newspaper. People want comfort. A woman and her baby (9:41-11:10). Windmill at a farm. Farmer walks nearby. Jet plane takes off, flies in the sky. Bridges. Golden Gate Bridge. A man paints a woman.

This silent 1933 film takes a look at the Chicago school system and the application of educating children with special needs or, as the common term was at that time,   handicapped students. The time period during which these improvements were made are worth noting as the Great Depression had hit in 1929 and the Polio epidemic had begun in the early 1900’s extending until 1955, both of which put a massive strain on the public education system. During the 1930s, strikes were erupting in Chicago as funding for the public education system was cut. Despite all of this, the Chicago school system and teachers made rapid and moving innovations in the education of students with special requirements. The film takes a brief look at some of the new classes and innovations from this time period. It opens with the title screen (:08) and takes viewers to one of the oldest schools in Chicago (:27), the William Brown School, located at 1758 Warren Blvd., which had been constructed in 1857 (:31). Within the Brown School, students who were considered partially sighted were taught in 32 sight saving classes (:37). Students are viewed within one of these classrooms as a young girl goes over book work while a boy works with an art piece (:45). One of the female students pushes her desk up against the map in the front of the class in order to see more clearly (1:04). A young African American student is seen directly to her lower left and this is worth noting as desegregation of the public-school system would not begin on a country wide scale until 1952. Large text type books were utilized and these are compared to traditional type text books (1:15). Work for students was prepared so that it would cause them no added eye strain as a teacher writes large and bold lettering across the blackboard (1:33).

This 1970’s era, color public service movie dates to the period before smoking was widely recognized as harmful, and smoking was permitted in public, including in restaurants and in airplanes. The film examines the American nation’s habit and studies cigarette smoking, its history, marketing of cigarettes, its corporate benefits and its societal and financial costs. Pelican Films presents, Smoking: A Report on the Nation’s Habit, created by Arthur Hoyle and Max Reid. The movie opens with a woman in a nightgown showing us a near-empty soft-pack of Salem cigarettes that she smoked the day before she went to see the chiropractor. The chiropractor shows the lady an x-ray, and shows that she has a spot on her lung from cigarette smoking. The lady speaks of using the empty pack of cigarettes as a symbol of how she will never smoke again - if she dies from smoking that she would like the cigarette pack in her casket. History of smoking. 1890. Smoking became popular with Americans in late 1800s. The first cigarettes were made with Turkish - not American tobacco. In 1913 R.J. Reynolds launched an American cigarette brand using American tobacco; Camel cigarettes. These revolutionized the industry. Camel cigarettes were the first cigarettes designed exclusively for advertising purposes. One famous ad is “I’d walk a mile for a Camel”. By the end of World War I, Camel cigarettes were America’s number one brand garnering 40% of the nation’s cigarette business. In October 1920 Dr. Moses Barron, from University of Minnesota, did an autopsy on a patient and discovered that the patient had died of lung cancer 2:30. In 1920 lung cancer was an extremely rare disease. Americans now smoke more than 600 billion cigarettes a year. 2:51. The industry makes more than $14 billion a year in sales 3:04.

FILM  "HELP MAKE AMERICA STRONG!" WARTIME PETROLEUM PRODUCTION 90724</video:title><video:description>This wartime black &amp; white educational/promotional film is about Texaco and its petroleum products, and what Texaco service station owners can do to help the war effort. Since civilian car production was curtailed during the war, what this effort amounted to, was to help keep existing cars on the road. This was made in early 1942, shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor as America's involvement in the war deepened, and as rubber, oil, gasoline and other products began to be rationed. 

Opening titles: "Help Make America Strong!" produced by WIlding Picture Productions, Inc. for Texaco (:06-:13). Newspaper headline: December 7, 1941 - Pearl Harbor Bombed. A bomb explodes. America readies for war. Tanks drive. An oil rig. Nurses on the march. Factory workers use machines. A defense or Liberty Bond is bought. Income tax (:58). Cars drive through the city. Shirtless men line up to be weighed as part of induction in the military. Soldiers train. Oil refineries. Texaco tanker trucks. Oil tankers on the high seas. Gasoline is put into a gas tank. Train goes by. A pipeline is being worked on. Sherman tanks go down a highway. Texaco gas station. Cars drive towards a city (:14-3:08). Soldiers march. Newspaper headline reads: Production Stops on All 1942 Cars. There is a rubber shortage. Metal shortage. Planes fly. Men work machines. A man cleans the Sky Chief pumps at a Texaco service station. A service station owner addresses the camera. Two gas station men talk as airplanes fly overhead. They realize times are changing and there is a war but they must put their attention to keeping cars on the road. The Texaco "Save Your Car" service plan can help. This plan is discussed and shown. People who have a vital need to use cars speak - they need to make sure their cars stay functioning (3:09-7:22). A car pulls up to the service station. The owner fills the car with gas. He wipes down the car as well, keeps it clean. He puts air in one of the front tires. The two men continue...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f4804090-6ab0-43c2-b533-7505fb140eee/4d6b1bb6-bfba-4694-b390-c66d4e650758-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wc8YbYdHipdLuGn25frM7W</video:player_loc><video:duration>899</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T22:40:37.023Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uo7ahGARMYNygDmL1ggs9P</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dfb5e079-f9a9-4f5c-b9ce-4c875a6683f6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII U.S. ARMY INTELLIGENCE UNIT TRAINING FILM   " PRISONER OF WAR INTERROGATION PROCEDURES " 63304</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

Produced on behalf of the Dept. of the Treasury as part of the National Defense Savings Program, this black &amp; white film promotes the concept of buying "victory bonds" to help with the reconstruction of war torn areas in the Pacific after World War 2. It features images from the Philippines, Guam, Occupied Japan and elsewhere, and shows how U.S. occupation forces attempted to re-establish the lives, home and industry of nations in war-torn Asia. It was part of the promotional campaign behind the Eighth War Loan Drive, called the Victory Loan (begun October 29, 1945 -- roughly two months after the war ended). The goal was $11 billion, but more than $21 billion was raised. Copyright 1945.

This late 1940s Encyclopedia Brittanica film takes a look at atomic energy. It’s main focus is on the atom itself, providing a detailed look at what happens to the molecules during nuclear synthesis and shows how the sun has been emitting atomic energy for billions of years through radiant energy. It is presented by Encyclopedia Britannica Films (:08) and opens with the mushroom cloud of an atomic explosion (:11). Here it states to study atomic energy, we could begin with a bomb though we must first understand atom cells (:18). It then shows a bubble, which like everything else, is composed of atoms (:26). A demonstration ensues of what it would look like if the bubble was cut in half and the thin was zoomed in on (:38). Within, would be molecules composed of atoms (:50). The hydrogen atom is shown and is the simplest atom in nature (:52). It consists only of an electron and the nucleus (1:00), which includes a proton (1:08). Nearly all of the weight in the atom is from the proton as it weighs almost 2,000 times as much as the electron (1:18). The helium atom is then shown which is slightly more complex and is composed of two electrons and the nucleus with two neutrons and two protons (1:27). One helium atom is shown encircled by four hydrogen atoms (2:16). The four hydrogen atoms combined have all of the parts necessary for the helium atom and through a complex process, the four hydrogen atoms can become one helium atom (2:46). When this happens, mass is lost (2:53). A demonstration ensues to show what happens to this mass that is lost in the process (3:19). The weight is given off as a form of radiant energy (3:35). This process involves nuclear changes and is known as nuclear synthesis (4:05) which is one form of atomic energy. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0787e7ae-1597-4ba4-82ff-38529cf72c14/443788e1-bf87-449e-b68e-10907059d5b2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1VWkrfr5pbXuiptBGNa2MW</video:player_loc><video:duration>652</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T22:58:21.349Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t8dq2zt4X6vQ39yw9bFX1Q</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5bbfe093-c86f-4a6b-aa3e-8d137d67f5e9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930’s  SPORTS NEWSREEL “SPORT AFLOAT”  OCEAN LINER PASSENGER GAMES  SURFING  YACHT RACING  31054</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This film from the Van Beuren Corporation was part of a series called the "Grantland Rice Sportlights", named after commentator Grantland Rice. Rice began his career as a sports writer for the New York Tribune, and eventually contributed to films such as this one. Van Beuren Studios (:07) was a New York based studio which provided live action shorts for Paramount from the 1920’s to 1936. The film begins with the Moore-McCormack cargo / passenger ship SS Honolulu on a voyage to Hawaii (:16). (The ship was scrapped in 1934 so this footage predates that year.) Guests on the ship deck are seen walking across as a music band leads them (:26). The crowd is seen gathering around the band (:44). Ring tennis is played by passengers (1:16) as a ring is tossed back and forth over the net between teams of two. Target practice is shown with two men with rifles aim and fire at clay pigeons (1:43). Humorous footage follows of guests conducting relay races with players racing on kiddie bikes as spectators line the deck (2:18). Three women then race back and forth gathering potatoes for another relay race (2:41). A baby bottle contest shows pairs of women feeding men from baby bottles (3:26). The men are blindfolded for the contest (4:09). The film turns to Greenwich, Connecticut to catch speed boats (4:19). Speed boats are seen zooming across waters (4:32).

This WWII era Royal Army film breaks down the operation of mechanical transport which on a broad scale refers to everything affecting the organization, control and movement of transport on the field and on a smaller scale simply refers to the actual handling of vehicles (:31). This film will deal with the former view and will include the Royal Army Service Corps (:57). The move enacted will be to advance the company fifteen miles from their current location (1:26). The company is currently located in a lightly wooded area in the countryside that had been chosen as the trees provided coverage from air sightings or attacks (1:57). A zoom in around the site shows the 28 lorries, 2 cars, 7 motorcycles and personnel well covered and concealed (2:41). Prior to the move, cooks are seen preparing the midday meal (3:33) and others conduct daily routines such as vehicle maintenance (3:50). A specific position in the site is pointed to from which a Molotov bomb can be used against approaching enemy attacks (4:23). In order to prepare themselves in the event of an attack, the camp is enclosed in barbed wire, sentry guns are set ready to fire and they equipped with gas detectors and whistles for alarms (4:44). A span is shown of the weapon pits for the rifle men who will back up the light machine gunners and anti-tank rifles (4:58). Trenches had also been dug out for protection against air attacks. A map shows the A, B, and C sections and their varying levels of coverage (5:37) as well as where the headquarters and workshop are located (6:22). Outside of the headquarters, a close up is given of the symbols which inform viewers it is the 70th company of an RFC unit (6:33).

One of a series of training films made by the U.S. Army about the Code of Conduct, this film focuses on the "never surrender" concept, presenting a scenario which trainees could discuss. It depicts a squadron in desperate combat, running out of ammunition, and what they do afterwards. This particular segment shows the precept of ‘standing firm’. The film begins with a portion of the Code of Conduct being read over a photograph of a solider holding a rifle and pointing it outwards (:42). Characters are introduced; one is a young soldier who is down trodden and fearful of the proposition that the squad is about to run out of ammunition (1:03). The other, standing just near him is a veteran soldier seen chewing on a cigar butt (1:21) and the final man who joins them is the Sergeant. The Sergeant and the seasoned soldier demonstrate boosting of one another’s morale as they ensure the young soldier they will not get captured (1:32). As they go over remaining weaponry, the Sergeant pulls out his own ammunition and leaves it with the other two men (1:42). Soldiers wait in trenches with machine gun barrels poking out (2:08). The enemy forces attack and explosions erupt all around the trenches (2:17) as the friendly forces fire back (2:24).

The young soldier is seen firing the last of his ammunition (3:53) and the seasoned soldier also runs out (3:58). As enemy fire continues, the men sit down within the trenches for cover (4:16). An order is given for the men to fall back (4:33) and a few are seen running towards the woods (4...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bf344748-12a3-4331-803c-dc3d643e2fa8/84d312a9-c5d2-4407-8984-e901fa0ec1e9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pBqr7ihUmY6GkvPjkMUqX3</video:player_loc><video:duration>617</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T23:06:53.312Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wEisp6J3GhNBr9V7gC7pD9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9dfcf46b-b99e-47b4-ae93-dcb8d6b57758.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1946 SHANGHAI CHINA HOME MOVIES SHOT BY AMERICAN VISITOR    YELLOW RIVER  XD19654</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This was a purpose-built, rocket-powered human-guided kamikaze attack aircraft  employed by Japan against Allied ships towards the end of the Pacific War.

In action during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945, Ohkas were able to sink or damage some escort vessels and transport ships but no major warships were ever hit. Improved versions which attempted to overcome the aircraft's shortcomings were developed too late to be deployed.

This U.S. Navy film from WWII depicts the proper boat handling procedures to be utilized when operating a Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel or LCVP. It opens with footage of troops and LCVP’s (:54). A close up shot of one of the landing craft is shown (1:00). Checks must be conducted prior to its launching and a shot of a check list follows (1:14). Crew begin inspecting the craft (2:03). The engineer checks the engine (2:27). Bilges (2:32) are inspected as well as the strainer from the pump driven by the engine (2:49). The engineer then fills the surge tank (3:23). The throttle position is switched to the idling position (3:37) as sand traps are checked for salt water circulation (3:53). The diesel engine has a freshwater cooling system (3:57). The engine is warmed up and the craft moves forward (5:27). Lessons in boat handling follow including the use of the reverse gear to stop (5:47). The correlation between the wheel and rudder movements are depicted (6:36) including an underwater shot of this (6:51). The LCVP conducts spins in the water (7:25) as the camera moves overhead. Reverse steering is depicted (7:40). As the crew moves onward, the observer is pointed to in the bow keeping an eye out for and floating objects (9:42). The craft passes another boat on it’s left (9:52). A sailboat is seen in the waters and the LCVP keeps a distance from them (10:01). The proper use of the LCVP’s ramp is demonstrated for amphibious landing operations (10:35). The craft is beached (10:56) and the ramp is lowered once it is grounded. The coxswain orders from the wheel (11:03) for the engineer to take the strain on the ramp cable (11:14). The man on the bow releases the safety clamps (11:23) and the engineer lowers the ramp (11:43).

Dating to WWII, this U.S. Army Air Forces official film was used to train intelligence officers.  It depicts techniques of interrogation that can be used to withdraw pertinent information from enemy POWs, in this case enemy airmen. It was made by the 1st Motion Picture Unit Army Air Forces (:16). Each captured airman shown represents a mine of information, but of course that information must be coerced (:35). International law states that POW’s only have to divulge name, rank and serial number, but though through techniques of interrogation shown here, more information could be obtained (1:07). The film shows the inside of an AAF AIO Intelligence School (1:37). An interrogator must have tact, good memory, wide range of military knowledge and fluency in one or more enemy languages (2:03). The primary purpose for examination of captured material, documents and personnel was to collect and relay information to high command (2:26). Students learn of German, Italian and Japanese history and the distinctive cultures and dialects of the people as well as social conditions, politics and religious practices (2:53). A model is shown of the Saivion Marchetti SM 79 which was an Italian bomber and reconnaissance aircraft (3:27). It was vital to know everything possible about enemy aircrafts. Prisoners must be immediately separated after capture into groups of officers and non-officers as well as non-commissioned officers and privates (7:49). They were also to be isolated as individuals until interrogation (4:00). Part of the softening up process was to withhold any food, beverages or cigarettes until later in the procedure (4:06). The national traits of a Japanese soldier during WW2 are studied. For a Japanese soldier, capture was more disgraceful than to be killed in action (4:37). A German soldier...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dfb60431-c2aa-4203-bc00-696ce3de18c5/1c85856e-60e7-4905-919f-2dc883f23933-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tCeMF8nBULANk75tYhfGaK</video:player_loc><video:duration>1750</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T23:40:52.070Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8D8p7v518WsZXZH9ZXEiyi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/af6c97d0-aa9d-4b2e-8f90-e8fe896f3a5a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE SCREEN TRAVELER  1930s' TRAVELOGUE OF MANILA "QUEEN OF THE PACIFIC" 87274</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This 1930s film is of a series called ‘The Screen Traveler’, created by filmmaker Andre De La Varre. The film takes viewers on a tour of Manila, Philippines. Narration is by Paul Devlin (:21). Manila is the capital and largest city in the Philippines (:37) and the film begins with an image of the bay which the Spanish arrived in 1570 (:42). This is also the site of the Battle of Manila Bay in 1898, where Admiral Dewey and his forces defeated the Spanish Pacific Squadron (:48). In the harbor, a span of the inter-island ships which served some of the archipelago of islands in the area are pointed to (1:03). The Pasig River flows through the center of the city and connects Laguna de Bay to Manila Bay (1:07). As the Philippines had not yet received their independence until 1946, and the commonwealth government was still under the advisory of the US, American and Philippine flags are seen waving together on the stern of the ships (1:14). Cascos, which are small boat like barges are seen crammed in the canal as most of the local trading was conducted through them (1:23). A close up follows of some of the families who worked in them daily (1:31). Manila was considered to be comprised of three sections, the old Tondo District, modern Manila which was born of American development (1:46) and the Intramuros which is the old walled city of the Spanish and includes Spanish-era landmarks (1:49). The Intramuros was constructed on the south shore of the mouth of the Pasig River and it is surrounded by the well-preserved walls which were built in 1590 (2:06). The mote which had once run around the wall, had been filled in by the Americans for sanitation purposes and the area was now used for drills, recreation and for golf courses (2:12).

This promo film for Junior Achievement (now known as JA), gives an overview of the organization, showing how it works in fostering student business leaders, and explaining to them the tenets of capitalism and salesmanship. JA (Junior Achievement) Worldwide is a global non-profit youth organization founded in 1919 by Horace A. Moses, Theodore Vail, and Winthrop M. Crane. JA works with local businesses, schools, and organizations to deliver experiential learning programs in the areas of work readiness, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship to students from ages 5 to 25

Set in early 1950s Detroit, this film was produced by Robert F. Davis (:07) and opens with a pamphlet reading "Annual Report to Subsidiaries Perma Products” with the Junior Achievement seal (:23). This group was founded as a way to educate the youth on practical business training and experience so as to better handle the real world of having to make money (:36). A boy stops at a sign directing him to his school's Plastic Shop (:56). In September, this particular group formed as they had learned about Junior Achievement through their high school in Detroit (1:14). They were to be guided by three advisors from the Burroughs Adding Machine Company (2:04). One of the advisors called Mr. Hirsh would assist in business management (2:11), another in production set up (2:17) and a third in sales (2:27). Mr. Hirsh gathers the youth and addresses them about making their own business (2:44). The group settles on working with plastic (3:19) to make a perpetual calendar that would not require refill (3:34). A chalkboard appears noting that the group must raise $100 (3:39) in order to get started. They began by issuing stocks to be sold at 50 cents apiece (3:48). First, they sold to themselves, then they moved to people they knew such as a police officer (3:59), a mechanic (4:08), and a mother (4:20).

This film is one of a group of silent home movies shot by an unknown American who was working for the OMEA, or Officer's Moral Endeavor Association, a sort of non-governmental, YMCA type group operating in post-WWII China. The film was shot during the Civil War but before March 1948. It contains footage of U.S. Navy Baltimore-class cruisers (possibly – USS Saint Paul, and certainly USS Los Angeles which arrived in China on January 2rd 1946, as a part of 7th Fleet) of the so-called Huangpu River Flotilla which, at its most numerous, included 33 warships. The Flotilla was stationed in China from the end of the WW2 to 1948. These ships presented American logistical and military support for the Republic of China military operations and the KMT leadership. The film then shows the arrival of the US military attaché (?) and Gen. Robert Eichelberger, Commander of the Eighth Army (which was then occupying Japan), at the port of Shanghai. It also shows the meeting of Eichelberger and Soong Meiling -- Madame Chiang Kai-shek -- at an unknown concession mansion in Shanghai (possibly the OMEA headquarters building).  The film ends with footage of an airbase and footage of Americans relaxing at a resort hotel, possibly the Manila Hotel in the Philippines.

It likely dates to 1935 based on the presence of a neon sign for a movie released in that year "False Faces" at the (11:49) mark. The person who filmed this was apparently a passenger on an Italian Line ocean liner, but it's not clear what the name of the vessel he or she sailed on.

The film opens with footage of dolphins or porpoises diving in and out of the water’s surface as they move alongside the ship (:09). At (:33) a felucca, a traditional wooden sailing boat used in the eastern Mediterranean, is seen. Its rig consists of one or two lateen sails. At (:40), the Suez Canal Defense Monument at Ismalia, Egypt is seen. This monument was designed by the French, is 50 meters high and was erected to commemorate the defense of the Canal Zone from the  Turkish Army in WWI. At (1;08) another felucca is seen. As the ship moves through the Canal, modern buildings that appear to be homes are visible (1:20) as well as more primitive shacks and bedouin tents (2:00). At (2:15) a singled stack vessel the Prometheus hoves into view. This is apparently an oil tanker built in 1923 and scrapped in 1949 that operated for Esso out of Hamburg. The town of Port Said (3:17) is shown along with the huge Suez Canal Company building. An Egyptian swims through the waters of the Canal, probably hoping a tourist will drop him a coin (3:37) followed by footage of a large two stack ocean liner in port (3:48). Within the town’s streets, pedestrians walk under a sign for Simon Artz (4:01). Established by a Jewish merchant, this was the most famous and exclusive department store in Port Said, and arguably Egypt. As the ship continues to move down the Canal a billboard for Amstel Beer is seen (4:15) as well as one for Nestles at (4:19), and a (4:22) the Simon Artz building...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/38b61a34-0f10-4730-b28f-61bc18be29fc/7e7f22c9-a307-4a58-99bb-2ac546964d2d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/81aX5T5agmAb4Y51VsQyCm</video:player_loc><video:duration>742</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-04T23:51:15.343Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/toRuBCxGpXDAu5HcW6Sbp2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/942e7088-01e1-4038-a0ff-f56463153b6d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA  SCOUT-O-RAMA &amp; SCHOOL NIGHT PROMOS w/ L.A.

This color home movie was shot by an American sailor who served aboard the famed aircraft carrier USS Philippine Sea (CVS 47) in WESTPAC, from January to July 1958.. At that time the ship joined the 7th Fleet in antisubmarine warfare exercises and traveled to Hawaii, Philippines, Okinawa, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong.  In this era, her anti-submarine air group typically consisted of one squadron with 20 twin-engined Grumman S2F Trackers ASW aircraft, a squadron of HSS-1 Seabat ASW helicopters and a detachment of Douglas AD-5W Skyraider airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft. (A detachment of four McDonnell F2H Banshee fighters was often assigned to protect the other aircraft.) In this particular film, the Skyraiders shown are from Marine squadron VMA 332, and were flown aboard, along with Marine H-19 helicopters and OE light observation planes, just before the ship reached the Philippines. Then, many of the ASW aircraft were unloaded at Subic Bay, and the carrier, along with many recently embarked Marines, sailed off for a 3 week exercise in the S. China Sea.

The film provides a unique look at the ship in this era.

Opening: Hawaii. Tourists and seamen in Pearl Harbor watch a hula dance (:00). An aircraft carrier at dock, probably USS Hornet (:43).

This U.S. Army film directed by Larry Ross and featuring Cliff Robertson presents a narrative about the "code of honor" and ethics set at West Point, the U.S. Military Academy, in the late 1970’s. It shows a brief history of the institution with a main focus on the Academy’s strict adherence to honesty and integrity. It shows the consequences for Cadets who break the honor code, in this case a Cadet played by actor Neal Mandell. The film opens with a pistol shot as young men take off for a surreal track race (:35). Some of the racers are pointed to whom act dishonorably in their day-to-day life. One is pictured cheating for a test (1:28), another forges a resume on his typewriter (1:41) and another spins back the odometer on a car for sale while working as a car salesmen (2:29). The film’s narrator, Cliff Robertson is shown at (4:10). The film turn’s to West Point with Cadets running through a combat training course (4:43), conducting target practice (5:07), learning foreign languages (5:28) and taking a computer class and operating a computer drive plotter (5:34). After the Cadets, including an African American Cadet, are seen conducting drills (5:53), a few of the Cadets complain of the hard work and wonder if there is an easier way (6:32). A few Cadets speak to the experience of beginning schooling at West Point (8:10). West Point buildings are seen in the background as male and female Cadets stand at attention (8:30). Some of the schools sport activities are viewed as students play lacrosse (9:02), box and compete in a wrestling match (9:16). A statue of George Washington on horseback follows (10:46).

This film "An Eye in the Darkened Sky" presents the Grumman A6-E Intruder; a twinjet all weather attack air craft first produced in 1960 and which had first seen action in the Vietnam War although it’s service continued into the 1990’s. Starting in 1979, Grumman began outfitting the Intruder with TRAM, or the Target Recognition Attack Multi-Sensor system. This was a small, gyroscopically stabilized nose turret containing a FLIR boresighted with a laser spot-tracker/designator and IBM AN/ASQ-155 computer. TRAM allowed highly accurate attacks without using the Intruder's radar, and also allowed the Intruder to autonomously designate and drop laser-guided bombs.

The film begins with the USS John F Kennedy (CVN-67) at sea (:19). A strike group including the A-6E, F-14s and Corsair IIs is to take off for a simulated attack mission at night. The attack and support craft on the vessel are zoomed in on (:27). Pilots are briefed on their upcoming mission below deck (:33) and weather forecasts are reviewed (:40). On the mission, troops are instructed to keep an eye on the railroad trestle on their way out for any moving trains (1:03). As the mission was to be conducted at night, forces were to utilize their targets on the TRAM system (1:34). This stands for the Target Recognition Attack Multi-sensor and it is equipped with three sensors (1:48). A shot follows from behind the center window of the forward-looking infrared device known as the FLARE (1:50). This had the ability to sense the variations in heat in any object (1:56). The image thrown from it follows (2:03) of a vessel as whole images were viewed rather than radar blips (2:06). The laser ranger is pointed to which provides a target range to an onboard computer (2:17). The designator (2:24) directed laser guided bombers to their targets....</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ed32432a-4879-4519-83c7-2131d0f8c32e/3d8d809f-cefc-4a1c-84bc-a28214d44046-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vhPBp8px6FUdo2jYUszjyw</video:player_loc><video:duration>396</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T00:10:14.281Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/p8hbsLQvhKRB3ZnQZdBpBa</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5e592c6a-4307-4c9a-9451-436c50d5f596.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930 HOME MOVIE  CAPE COD CANAL CRUISE  AMERICA'S CUP YACHTS  NAVY SHIPS BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS  33524</video:title><video:description>This black &amp; white, silent home movie -- with wonderful title cards -- was filmed in the late 1920s or early 1930 off of Boston, Massachusetts.  It shows a cruise past U.S. Navy vessels, the Gloucester fishing fleet, Boston Lightship, and more. We don't know who shot it, whoever it was -- loved the water. 

Opening title card: A Coast Guard vessel no. 100, destroyer type on the water (:25). This appears to be the Wickes-class destroyer USS Maury (DD-100), which was decommissioned in 1930. Another vessel, apparently the Clemson-class USS McFarland (DD-237/AVD-14) is visible in the background. Bluejackets from the “237” get shore leave in a boat; the “237” ship on the water (:57). Joe cleans the ship (1:39). Men swim in the buff in the warm Atlantic Ocean (2:14). A two stack passenger steamer on the water (2:32). The rear of a ship marked Oglala (2:45). This is apparently USS Oglala (ID-1255/CM-4/ARG-1), a minelayer originally commissioned as Massachusetts and later sunk at Pearl Harbor. Sailors leave the ship and get on a small boat to head to Gloucester for shore leave (3:00). Fishing fleet of Gloucester (3:30) including Gortons (3:37). Waters off Gloucester (4:02). Marblehead Light (4:21). A man sets his lobster traps in the ocean (4:40). Lobsters on the boat (4:52). Twelve meter boats in a race off the Boston Lightship; numerous boats in the race (5:06). Destroyer is "dressed up" with flags for the regatta (6:19). Seaplane flies over the boats on the sea (6:24). Sailors jump into the Atlantic and swim (6:58). Vanitie and Resolute are shown in the regatta (7:19). Vanitie was a yacht owned by Alexander Smith Cochran that was selected to take part in selection trials for the America's Cup in 1914 against Sir Thomas Lipton's yacht Shamrock IV. Resolute was a yacht designed and built by Nathanael Greene Herreshoff for a syndicate of New York Yacht Club members headed by Henry Walters to contend the 1914 America's Cup.

This black &amp; white U.S. military film is about part of the January/February 1944 battle for Kwajalein, known as Operation Flintlock. This section shows the U.S. seizure of the islands of Roi and Namur as part of Operation Burlesque-Camouflage. This battle resulted in the U.S. seizing the southern portion of the Marshall Islands group. This film dates to mid-1944 and was originally restricted, and no wonder -- the film presents a brutal, unflinching look at island combat.

Opening: U.S. troops on patrol, taking fire, explosions. Smoke and gunfire all around, dead bodies everywhere. A hangar's sheet metal is all that remains after being bombed. Operation Burlesque-Camouflage was the US seizure of the islands of Roi and Namur in the Kwajalein atoll of the Marshall islands group (:07-1:41). Smoke plumes, artillery is fired. Amphibious crafts bring soldiers to an island. Soldiers on the shore (1:42-3:17). U.S. troops crawl along the beach and move inland. They landed at the southern shore of Namur (which was Green 1 to the west of Yokohama Pier and Green 2, which was to the east of this pier). Soldiers move as do tanks (3:18-5:14). Soldiers carry light machine guns. Troops take cover. A big explosion followed by cover fire. A map is shown with the troop line advancing, this is explained. Troops take cover in the sand. Planes fly over the troops (5:15-7:19). General Schmidt. An enemy ammunition explosion occurs. Tanks on the beach as the Fourth Marine Division moves. Trenches the enemy used (7:20-8:44). The Allies controlled three quarters of the island but the remaining Japanese resistance was heavy. U.S. troops advance with medium tanks. Planes fly over. Thick black smoke and fire. Marines surround resistance and fire at them (8:45-11:00). Tank drives through a wooded area.

This color educational film is about railroad research and advancements in railroad technology, including the development of the diesel and gas turbine locomotives which were beginning to supplant steam engines at the time. Copyright is 1953. The film stars Hugh Beaumont as E.D. Gillespie. ( Beaumont is best known for his portrayal of Ward Cleaver on the television series Leave It to Beaver.)

Titles: 225,000 Mile Proving Ground (:08-:24). A streamline passenger train races by, probably the Sunset Limited. People sit in a Skyline type dome car or eat in the dining car on a train. People look out of the observation car. A steam powered freight train races by. Flashback to another era: a horse and wagon move slowly. Railroad replaced that. Scenes from the Chicago Railroad Fair show railroad history. A door placard reads: Feature Editor, E.D. Gillespie. Gillespie, who is apparently a magazine article writer, starts talking to the viewer about railroad technological research and development. In a factory, research is being conducted (:25-2:20). Exterior of the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. Central Research Laboratory, of the Association of American Railroads. A rail is being tested. Chemists in a laboratory.

Shot by an unknown American, who apparently was in China working for a humanitarian organization in the immediate post-war period, this 16mm silent home movie contains rare footage of Beijing from the air. The time of year appears to be the winter, and many major Beijing landmarks (with the city looking somewhat empty and covered with snow) can be seen including Beihai, Nanhai, Tiantian, and Summer Palace Parks, the Kunming lake, the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, and the Tiantian Temple of Heaven (both from the air and on the ground), the mountainous Xiangshan district with the Great Wall, the Beijing City Wall and some of its gates (dismantled in 1953), and some footage of the Thirteen Tombs of the Ming Dinasty in the Changping district north of Beijing. The film ends with a 4-minute duck hunt undertaken from a riverboat.

It's not clear when this was shot, but it certainly appears to be pre-war, probably 1940. Ceylon at that time was the British Crown colony of the country known today as Sri Lanka (1815 to 1948). It is located in South Asia in the Indian Ocean. The "British Malaya" shown in the film was comprised of a set of states on the Malay Peninsula and the Island of Singapore. The film begins in Ceylon with shots of the country’s architecture including a tall red and white pagoda (:16). Much of the architectural design was heavily influenced by Buddhism. Natives mill through the streets of the market place along side a large covered wagon pulled by oxen (:34). Local stores and hotels appear along the streets including the Brahmin Hotel (:43). One man pulls a covered litter through the streets (:52). One of Ceylon’s seven ports is seen with small boats in the waters (2:06). A decorated elephant (2:21) is pulled by it’s ear by a young man to steer it in order to give a rider a leg up onto the elephant’s back (2:46). In shallow waters, a man leans up against a black cow (3:37) as others wash up nearby (3:40). More natives wash under a small waterfall (4:52). A span of animal skins hang as they dry outside (5:39). The film switches to British Malaya and opens with a shot of a traditional pagoda (5:59). Tourists play in a large pool (6:13). Three of the tourists of the trip are seen standing in a grassy area near the water (6:52). The British Union Jack flag is seen waving near the American flag (7:01).

Created from the archives of the General Newsreel Co., "Yesterday’s Newsreel" aired on television in the early 1950s. This episode features the 1933 revolution in Cuba (:39). It opens with a bird’s eye view of Havana and President Gerardo Machado y Morales (:48). Morales had consolidated his power as a popular revolt struck out against him (1:04). Railway cars and buses stood idle as turmoil broke out (1:09) and the military had split allegiances with officers siding with the President and soldiers with the populace. In Miami, the American ambassador Sumner Wells (1:38) sought to mediate. He was unsuccessful and the revolution began in August of 1933 (1:42). Riots in the streets around police on horseback are seen (1:46). The Cuban Air Force flew over head. Street fights still continued (1:55). A piano is dropped from the hotel balcony in which Machado was holed up (2:13). His paymaster’s home was destroyed (2:26) as well as the buses he owned and operated. American warships entered the harbor to protect US interests in Cuba (2:46). After fighting ended and Machado was removed from office, Carlos Manuel de Cespedes y Quesada (3:01) became the next president. Although cheering broke out as he was sworn in, plans were already in action to remove him from office (3:17). Ramon Grau followed, supported by none other than Fulgenico Batista (3:45) who would eventually become a Cuban president himself (3:49). Next, the year is 1920, a look at the race horse Man-O-War (3:53). He was retired in the 1920’s after winning a million dollars in purses and fees (4:13). This stallion also sired other Kentucky Derby winners such as War Admiral and Crusader. Going back in time, a race against Man-O-War and Canada’s Sir Barton is shown which had a purse of $80,000 (4:42). Man-O-War had taken an early lead and ended winning ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ae453658-24f5-418c-8cc8-b770b5d436cb/68e8bcc2-40b4-4379-9d8f-b9468b7dec84-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nw96nWWtUep5rrSFC9Tuar</video:player_loc><video:duration>751</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T00:33:25.336Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7XsMpKr8JCK2ZVD7gxEgBJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f21097f3-e066-44c4-bba7-dd0f550934d2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1959 UNITED AIRLINES PROMO FILM  DEBUT OF DOUGLAS DC-8  " OPERATION JETLINER "  DC-8  24834</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Made by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Transcontinental Air Transport Inc., this 1929 black &amp; white educational/promotional film shows "modern" travel from New York, New York to Los Angeles, CA in the breathtaking, hell for leather time of 48 hours. The film features Ford Trimotors and includes appearances by some of the famous aviators of the era Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, who help assure potential passengers about how safe and comfortable flying can be. The company behind this film, Transcontinental Air Transport (known widely by it initials T-A-T) was founded in 1928 by Clement Melville Keys. In 1930 it merged with Western Air Express to form what later became TWA, or Trans World Airlines. Keys enlisted the help of Charles Lindbergh to design the company's transcontinental network to get government airmail contracts. Lindbergh established numerous airports across the country in this effort, but critics nevertheless derided the expensive service (a one-way ticket from New York to Los Angeles was $352) and the initials "TAT" were said to stand for "Take a Train". The reputation was further sullied when, on September 3, 1929, a westbound TAT flight crashed on Mt. Taylor in New Mexico, with loss of all aboard. It was the first of three serious accidents for TAT over the next five months, and the company lost 2.7 million dollars in its first 18 months of operation. Opening titles: Coast to Coast in 48 Hours (:14-1:05). Around a table sits Col. Charles Lindbergh with the leaders of TAT (1:06-2:26). Aerial shot of New York City. Pennsylvania Railroad station, people buy tickets to California.

This is shown and explained via animation (2:15-5:32). Title: Regulating Governor. A centrifugal governor is a specific type of governor with a feedback system that controls the speed of an engine by regulating the flow of fuel or working fluid, so as to maintain a near-constant speed.

This short film shows 52nd Gold Cup Regatta, an unlimited hydroplane race that took place in Seattle, Washington, in front of 500,000 spectators in 1956. Some of the boats featured include the Wahoo and Maverick, as well as local contestant Miss Thriftway driven by Bill Muncey, Miss U.S. 1 driven by Norm Evans, and U-25 Miss Spokane. The American Power Boat Association APBA Gold Cup (originally known simply as the Gold Cup, a speedboat race) is an American hydroplane boat race. It is still run as part of the H1 Unlimited season.

Miss Thriftway (:23) was an unlimited hydroplane in the 1950s and 1960s. Ted Bowhay was the Seattle owner of the Miss Thriftway in the early 1960s. He was also known for having owned &amp; raced the limited Hydroplane "Redskin." With Bill Muncey driving, the boat won the 1956 and 1957 American Power Boat Association Gold Cup. The International Motorsports Hall of Fame and hydroplane historian Dan Cowie described Bill Muncey as "without question, the greatest hydroplane racer in history." He was nicknamed "Mr. Unlimited" and won 62 races, which was the most races in the history of the sport until Dave Villwock broke his record in 2011

Miss U.S. 1 shown at (:36) achieved a straightaway speed of 200.42 miles per hour on April 17, 1962, with Roy Duby at the controls, setting a world record for a piston-powered, propeller-driven craft that still stands today.

This incident killed pilot Harcourt Papps and passenger Dr. A. W. Reece. The crash occurred on May 28, 1960. The plane was from Bradley Air Services Limited, also operating as First Air. Bradley was an airline headquartered in Kanata, a suburb of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It operated services to 34 communities in Nunavut, Nunavik, and the Northwest Territories. (Note: the Super Cub was equipped with tundra tires -- large low-pressure tires commonly used on light aircraft to allow operations on rough terrain.)The second aircraft shown at 12:45 is a Piper Super Cub CF-LXH. This aircraft was flown by noted bush pilot Weldy Phipps. On 28 July 1960,  Phipps was flying when the aircraft suddenly went into a stall. Phipps was able to level the aircraft just above the ground. However, a hard landing was made with the wings shearing off and the undercarriage collapsing. Phipps received a bad cut above the eye, while his passenger, Steve Stanish, received a broken leg and was in extreme pain. They were rescued by the RCAF thanks to the efforts of fellow pilot Dick deBlicquy, who heard and relayed the mayday and made his way to the crash site.Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

Created in 1945,  this short U.S. Navy film "Road To Home" features comedian Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. This picture represented an attempt by the Navy to convince sailors not to desert in the wake of V-J Day, but to wait for honorable discharges and the many benefits waiting in civilian life including the opportunity to attend college. The film is a noteworthy sibling of the "Road to Home" series of seven feature films starring Crosby, Hope, and Dorothy Lamour. These feature comedies are also often referred to as the "Road" pictures or the "Road" series. The movies were a combination of adventure, comedy, romance, and music. Some of the sequences in this short are comic sketches from the Road Show series of movies.

Dating to the 1960s, this group of TV commercials including Uncle Ben's "new" quick cooking beans and Spanish and Wild rice mix with the tagline "Easy as boiling water?"   Uncle Ben's branding featured a smiling, grey-haired black man on its packaging. The name Uncle Ben's was supposedly inspired by a Texas farmer known for his high-quality rice. The company asked the head waiter at a fancy Chicago restaurant, Frank Brown, to pose as the face of the brand, which launched in 1947. Titles such as uncle and aunt were used in southern US states to refer to black people, instead of the more formal and respectful "Miss" or "Mister". In 2020, in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, the owner of the brand announced that Uncle Ben would be retired "to make progress toward racial equality."

In 1972, NASA and the FAA began a cooperative research project to study how general aviation aircraft could be designed in such a way as to improve crashworthiness and survival, particularly with respect to seats, seat mounting and harnessing issues. Some of these tests are shown in this silent film, which was shot with high speed cameras. A swing cable rig at NASA's Langley Research Center, previously developed for the testing of the Apollo era LEM Lunar Excursion Module, was modified to use with small aircraft. Data was obtained with cameras, and with sensors attached to the airframes and the anthropomorphic dummies which were harnessed in crew and passenger seats. Airplanes used included the Cessna 172 and Piper PA-31 Navajo.  Most impact speeds seen in the film are at about 60 mph, but at least one is shown (25:36) with a Navajo aircraft that utilized four Falcon missile rocket motors to obtain a speed of 100 mph. The pendulum-like swing of the cables allowed angles of attack from 0 to 60 degrees, and in case you were wondering -- the tarmac at the LRC test center is, like many airport runways, made of concrete. 

The results of these tests included many improvements, including the development of load limiting seats. (For further reading on this subject check out the book "NASA and General Aviation" by Jeffrey L. Ethell.)

The use of the phrase spread among F-105 pilots and alarmed commanders. "There Is A Way" shows pilots successfully completing 100-mission tours of duty.

Shot by an American serviceman in late autumn or early winter, this film contains footage from the Korean War era 1950-1953. It appears the person who filmed this was part of the U.S. Marine Corps T-461 (later NMH-461) Heavy Helicopter Squadron HQ. The squadron's bases in Japan and Korea are shown, operating as Marine Aircraft Group 43. Footage starts with some returning GIs who've just been brought to Japan or Korea by a C-124, then showing what is likely the Pohang Air Base in Korea, switching to Tokyo, Japan street scenes, shots of municipal government buildings and Mitsubishi 21, next to Shinjuku, and then the film moves back to the 7th USMC regiment base and MASH unit in Korea .

The troops conduct a full scale military exercise, camping in the field, sleeping in tents, and operating tanks and armored cars in co-ordination with aircraft. 

00:00:00 to 00:00:37 Thursday, 20 August 1936.

This black &amp; white film tells the story of how the United States Navy captured a German U-boat on the high seas.  The Allies learned from decrypted German messages that U-boats were operating near Cape Verde and the Navy dispatched Task Group 22.3 to the area, a "Hunter-Killer" group commanded by Captain Daniel V. Gallery and Commander Frederick S. Hall. The events shown in the film started on 4 June 1944, when the group intercepted and captured the German Type IXC submarine U-505. This was the first time that the U.S. Navy  captured an enemy vessel at sea since the 19th century. What is not explained in the film, and remained classified for many years after the war, is that vital German code books and a naval Enigma code machine were seized during the incident. Copyright 1945.

This black &amp; white WWIl era morale film features footage from the 1927 classic boxing match which featured Jack Dempsey vs Gene Tunney. It also has a "By Request" segment about animals "speaking for themselves" which features hilariously campy animation and singing cows (and likely inspired a few "talking mule" films!). This is circa the mid-1940s, apparently post-war so likely 1946-48.

Opening titles: Navy Edition Army-Navy Screen Magazine presents Sports…and still champion (:06). Boxer Jack Dempsey, in the United States Coast Guard, clowns around with some of his Navy men (:35). Dempsey visits the front (:48). James Joseph "Gene" Tunney, an American boxer stretches (:59). He teaches the men calisthenics (1:01). Tunney boxes with a recruit (1:08). Title card: Jack Dempsey vs Gene Tunney - September 22, 1927, Chicago, IL, the boxers enter the ring (1:18). Controversial round 7 of the fight, the ”Long Count" is applied to the name of this fight because when Tunney was knocked down in the seventh round, the first time in his career, the count was delayed due to Dempsey's failure to go to and remain in a neutral corner. Whether this "long count" actually affected the outcome remains a subject of debate; after Tunney stands back up he finishes the round without incident (1:36). Title card: Round 10 of the fight, Dempsey shoves Tunney down, the round goes back and forth (3:43). The fight is over. Tunney wins in a unanimous decision (5:03). Title card: By Request, animals speak for themselves (5:13). By Request was a famous segment in the Screen Magazine, where G.I.s would send in questions to be answered or requests for something or someone to appear in the show. Here, a female hostess answers a questions about animals, as G.I. Joe misses his pets and farm animals (5:20).

It was shot by an unknown member of the "Amateur Cinema League" -- a national club of amateur filmmakers who supported one another's efforts and shared tips concerning 8mm and 16mm movie making. The ACL was founded in New York City in 1926. The film likely dates to 1932, as it shows aircraft that were deployed on the carrier in that time period, plus Captain George S. Steele is shown in command. Steele, who was widely viewed as a candidate for admiral, was appointed to the ship in July of 1932 but the vessel ran agound in a fog that same year. Although he successfully freed the vessel and it was not damaged in the incident, Steele was passed over for promotion and retired on December 31, 1932 after 36 years of naval service. 

The USS Saratoga was a Lexington class aircraft carrier constructed in the 1920’s for the U.S. Navy. Initially laid down as a battlecruiser, it was then converted to an aircraft carrier after the Washington Naval Treaty in 1922. The Saratoga entered service as an aircraft carrier in 1928 for the Pacific Fleet. This vessel, the Enterprise and the Ranger all saw service throughout WWII. It was sunk in July of 1946 during atomic bomb tests. 

The USS Saratoga is first seen from the air, from aboard a biplane, at (:50). The ship's complement of planes are seen in formation in the sky above (1:11).

(46 F4B-2s were assigned to Fighting Squadron (VF) 6B aboard Saratoga in 1931.) The aircraft then proceed down the flight deck for takeoff (2:30). Scout biplanes, probably Vought O2U-2 "Corsair" aircraft, are the first to move out (2:44) followed by fighter planes (3:31) and the bombers (4:30), probably Martin T4Ms. One of the bombers is seen lifting off from the carrier and returning t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/db0f7115-441a-4921-a1bf-7c82f79b46ab/4d36420a-1043-48aa-b3b0-649e26584fb7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/t3VTz7zMiQ64zeYadmYiuP</video:player_loc><video:duration>930</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T01:39:00.730Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/e3NS5dWR9xfRju5jNTJCRs</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cd4fd95a-9683-4243-ad3d-d1ddb1ff4a3c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" ROLLING TO THE RHINE "  RED BALL EXPRESS   WWII AFRICAN AMERICAN TRUCK DRIVERS IN EUROPE 80564</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Made by Academy Productions, this gorgeous color film "Going Places" is about the problem of traffic congestion, and the necessity of having a good public transit system in an urban environment. Copyright is 1952 and it was produced by General Electric, which hoped to use it to promote electric transit vehicles including trolley buses and trolley cars. At the time, urban transit systems such as Los Angeles' famous Red Car streetcar system were under threat from gasoline powered buses, and new freeway construction and the availability of personal car ownership threatened the idea of mass transit. These factors certainly were  motivating factors in the production of this film -- which incidentally seems as relevant today as it did when it was made. 

Opening titles: A More Power to America Presentation - Going Places (:08). A PCC type electric trolley car or streetcar rumbles by (:41).

Space Shuttle Enterprise was the first orbiter of the Space Shuttle system. It was built to perform atmospheric test flights after being launched from a modified Boeing 747 and constructed without engines or a functional heat shield. It was originally planned to modify Enterprise so that it would become the second space-rated orbiter.  However, during the construction of Space Shuttle Columbia, details of the final design changed, making it simpler and less costly to build Challenger around a body frame that had been built as a test article. 

Enterprise was restored and placed on display in 2003 at the Smithsonian's new Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia. Following the retirement of the Space Shuttle fleet, Discovery replaced Enterprise at the Udvar-Hazy Center, and Enterprise was transferred to the Intrepid Sea, Air &amp; Space Museum in New York City, where it has been on display since July 2012.

This short, silent training film is a bit of a mystery. It begins with images of an F-4 Phantom II in camouflage paint scheme in a hangar, with crew checking out a large piece of ordnance, possibly a B-61 or B28 nuclear weapon or mockup. At the 2:30 mark, a mock-up of what appears to be a B-61 nuclear weapon is shown. At 4:13 another weapon is shown, possibly a B28EX nuclear weapon mock-up. The B28, originally Mark 28, was a thermonuclear bomb carried by U.S. tactical fighter bombers, attack aircraft and bomber aircraft. The B61 nuclear bomb is the primary thermonuclear gravity bomb in the United States Enduring Stockpile following the end of the Cold War. It is a low to intermediate-yield strategic and tactical nuclear weapon featuring a two-stage radiation implosion design.

This Castle Films presentation (:09) is a part of the series known as “The Castle Films News Parade”, which was sold for the home market during WWII. This short newsreel shows the first offensive action of the Pacific War by the U.S. Navy. On 1 February 1942, USS Enterprise's Task Force 8 raided Kwajalein, Wotje, and Maloelap in the Marshall Islands, sinking three Japanese ships, damaging eight, and destroying numerous airplanes and ground facilities. Enterprise received only minor damage in the Japanese counterattack, as TF 8 retired to Pearl Harbor. (The film claims to show Japanese cruisers and even an aircraft carrier sunk by American forces, but of course this is incorrect.) While Enterprise conducted this raid, sister ship USS Yorktown and Task Force 17 raided the Gilbert Islands.

The film opens with footage of troop transports moving westward for the attack on the Marshall Islands (:34). Two troop transports are seen (:42) packed with Marines and supplies. Seamen of the Pacific Fleet lean over the rail of the transport ship (1:06) and transport packs of supplies (1:44). Battle stations are shown being cleared for action (2:23) as long-range guns are tipped upwards (2:29). Vice Admiral William Halsey goes over maps along with two other military officials (2:42) for the attack. A map is provided pointing to the locations of the Marshall and Gilbert Islands (2:50). From within the vessel’s radio room (3:14) a signal is flashed for the men to stand by for their orders.

The plot of the film is simple: sister and brother Annie and Hans VanWyck are students from a small town in Holland.

This black &amp; white film is an episode of 'The Big Picture' series, entitled 'Citizen, Soldier, and Taxpayer, Too'. This episode is about "Operation Roll-Up" which was an effort by the United States Army to rapidly reclaim, refurbish, and redeploy equipment from World War II and use it in the Korean War. This episode dates to the early 1950s and was advertised this way: "Former Army Secretary Frank Pace, Jr. is the guest of THE BIG PICTURE to introduce a program of interest to every taxpayer. It's the story of the war the Army fights all the time -- the war against waste. Our cameras go to Japan for Operation Rollup, showing how we supply our troops with rehabilitated (but efficient) equipment and thereby save the taxpayer millions of dollars. We see how our troops are encouraged to be 'cost conscious' about their tools of warfare. It takes dollars to build and maintain an effective fighting machine, but the Army is making a continual effort to keep that cost to a minimum. The soldier; who is a taxpayer too, knows the cost of our defense effort."

Opening: U.S. soldiers on the move. Title: "The Big Picture". Captain Carl Zimmerman talks about the Army (:06-1:15). The Honorable Frank Pace, Jr., secretary of the Army, talks about waste and selective service bringing in new men. Pace stands up near a map of the world and points out spots where he has been and where our service men are (1:16-4:19). Korean peasants carry used shells and dispose of them.

This color home movie is about a visit to the A. Gettelman Brewing Company in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 1940s. The A. Gettelman Brewing Company was an American brewery that was based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from 1856 until 1961, when it was sold to the Miller Brewing Company. It was the smallest of the "Big Five" breweries from Milwaukee's brewing legacy. Although remaining a mid-sized brewer among the city's giants, Gettelman was an important innovator of beer packaging and advertising and a significant acquisition in the expansion of the Miller Brewing Company.

This film from 1930 depicts the 25th Anniversary of the Warner Brothers Studio and features most of the major players and song writers under contract to WB at that time. (A notable exception is Al Jolson, who does not appear, and the "25 years" that were celebrated are themselves a bit dubious, in that the Warner Bros. actually entered the business in 1906  as theatre exhibitors in New Castle, Pa.) The film was directed by John G. Adolfi and features a "Mr. and Mrs. Warner Brother's Pictures" hosting a dinne. Mrs. Warner Bros. is  played by Beryl Mercer (:15) with Ottis Skinner as her husband. Their daughter, Little Miss Vitaphone is played by Betty Jane Graham. The film opens with a shot of a three-tiered cake with ‘25th Anniversary Jubilee’ written on it (:25). Guests of the dinner are seated around two long tables and standing while they sing (:33). Mr. and Mrs. Warner Bros.  (1:05) address the audience thanking them for their support. They introduce Little Miss Vitaphone (1:35) to point out the various stars and music artists in the crowd. She begins by pointing to Loretta Young (2:06) whom was to feature in the film ‘Too Young to Marry” based on the 1929 play ‘Broken Dishes’. Walter Pidgeon (2:12), whom appeared in ‘Saratoga’ in 1937 is pointed to next. Sidney Blackmer is seen as well as Claudia Dell (2:17) whom was to star in ‘Sweet Kitty Bellairs’. Evalyn Knapp (2:26) appeared in ‘Sinners’ Holiday’, ‘Mother’s Cry’ and ‘River’s End’ in 1930. James Rennie (2:31) starred in ‘The Lash’, ‘The Bad Man’ and ‘The Girl of the Golden West’ also in 1930. Louise Fazeda (2:38) co-starred with Loretta Young in the film ‘Loose Ankles’. Fred Kohler (2:42) a popular villainous character whom was featured in films such as ‘Under a Texas Moon’ is pointed to.

This color promotional film is about the Federal Express company. This is circa the mid= to late 1970s. It features some truly campy voice-over and music, but is a terrific document of the early years of one of America's great, innovative companies.

Opening: A Federal Express cardboard plane hangs from the ceiling by a string. A real Federal Express jet plane, tail N8FE, takes off down the runway (as it does, the title: "Plane People" floats by) and flies away (:06-1:06). This is a Dassault Cargo Falcon 20, a French jet aircraft that, on April 17, 1973, became the first to carry a Federal Express air package. This represented a new milestone in the history of air transport in the United States and created a new category of airline: the exclusive air express carrier. (This particular aircraft N8FE is now in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum). The original FEDEX fleet was a fleet
of 14 Falcon 20s out of Memphis International Airport – the only air freight company in the world with a fleet entirely made up of French aircraft. Many portions of the film were shot at the FEDEX facility in Memphis. (At the time the film was made, the fleet had expanded to 50 aircraft.)

Federal Express van. An employee of Federal Express drives, hands over a package. Federal Express vans on the move. Federal Express workers at work. Women employees on the phone. A Federal Express employee knocks over his federal express coffee cup. Federal Express plane takes off. A man on a phone. Packages go down a conveyor belt. Envelopes ready to be mailed (1:07-2:39).

This brief promo for the film "Soldier of Fortune" dates to 1955, when the film premiered. It is notable in that it contains footage of actor Clark Gable departing for Hong Kong aboard a Pan Am Stratocruiser airplane with directed Edward Dmytryk. At 1:07, Gable is shown in Honolulu on a stop over, and then in Tokyo (1:23). At 1:29, Gable arrives in Hong Kong. Shots of the city follow including the Kowloon Ferry building, panoramas of the city, and busy street shots as well as shots aboard the Victoria Peak Tram cablecar, and shots of "shack city" (3:08) a refugee camp. "Soldier of Fortune" was a feature film about the rescue of an American prisoner in the People's Republic of China in the 1950s. It was directed by Dmytryk, starred Gable and Susan Hayward, and was written by Ernest K. Gann based on his 1954 novel. The film inspired the later U.S. T.V. series "Hong Kong"

Released by the U.S. War Department during the occupation of Japan, this film is the first reel (only) of the feature film "Prayer at Dawn: Ballad of a Military Expedition of the Favourite Horse. This film was originally released in 1940 during the Showa era. It was directed by Yasushi Sasaki and stars Kinuyo Tanaka and others. The story is centered on a war horse, and depicts a soldier who is on the front lines in China and his wife on the “home front”. The film was created under the guidance and support of the Ministry of War, Horse Administration Division (whose chief was then Tadamichi Kuribayashi, or "Cavalry Captain Kuribayashi” as credited). The film was produced in order to raise awareness and interest in the military and in particular war horses. Apparently, Kuribayashi was personally interested in the movie, mobilizing combat units for filming and appearing on location himself. (Kuribayashi is best known for having been the overall commander of the Japanese garrison during the Battle of Iwo Jima.)

The theme song "Prayer at Dawn" became rather famous, as did another song, "Favorite Horse's Bride's Song" (lyrics: Yaso Saijo, composition: Tadashi Manjome, song: Miss Colombia, Hamako Watanabe, Akiko Kikuchi) Akiko). The "Favorite Horse's Assault Song" also debuted in the film, sung by Hisao Ito, credited as the "Singing Soldier".

The poems and songs in the film portray the thoughts of the horse soldiers and feelings of nostalgia, with the lyrics partly based on the victories achieved in the Russo-Japanese war. The records affiliated with the film became big hits. An analysis of the lyrics of the theme song and the "Song at the Bivouac", reveals that they are both actually "anti-war songs" about leaving family behind as a result of wartime service. This is perhaps the reason that the U.S. military administration of Japan felt the film was worthy of re-...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dfcaba1d-7493-489e-8a3c-287ec17b4041/348424c3-ecd1-4dbe-911a-e07916d857d5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tCPoQLLmC1fvi7YEGdrKa4</video:player_loc><video:duration>2526</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T02:35:13.424Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/99WHPTjquoZNtadtY6k312</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ef09e5a3-a6d1-4c19-a904-bc15cce6b127.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SALLY RAND  BALLOON BUBBLE DANCE PERFORMANCE   LITA BARON &amp; GRACIE BARRIE 1940s MUSIC VIDEO XD10084</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Released by Official Films for the home market, this collection of "soundies" -- 1940s music videos -- includes a Bubble Dance performance by Sally Rand starting at the 4:00 mark. This particular performance by Rand is quite tame compared to some, as oftentimes she was scantily dressed or not dressed at all behind her plastic bubble.  The film also includes an incomplete rendition of "I Wanna Make Him Whistle" sung by Lita Baron aka "Isabelita". Baron was a Spanish-born American actress and singer who appeared in movies and television shows for over 30 years. Also on this reel, a performance of "I've Got to Get Hot" (nice double entendre title!) by Gracie Barrie at 1:12. The song is about a woman who'd rather be singing....but until she gets popular, she has to bring in the bucks to pay the rent. Barrie was a stylish singer for big bands and some 30s Broadway musicals, and sang  with drummer Abe Lyman's band before joining her husband, Dick Stabile's orchestra as vocalist in 1940. She led Stabile's orchestra during WWII but faded from the scene after divorcing him after WWII ended.

Sally Rand was an American burlesque dancer, vedette, and actress, most noted for her ostrich feather fan dance and balloon bubble dance. She also performed under the name Billie Beck.

One of a series of short cartoons in the "A Few Quick Facts" series, "About Fear" was released in 1945 and directed by Osmond Evans. Featuring the character Private SNAFU (here in knight's armor) voiced by Mel Blanc, the toon is an examination of the emotion of fear and its influence on human nature. Shown to G.I.s as part of film screenings during WWII, this cartoon is a lighthearted way to assure soldiers that fear and its associated symptoms are entirely normal.

It was made by the UPA studio, which was founded in the wake of the Disney animators' strike of 1941, which resulted in the exodus of a number of long-time Walt Disney Animation Studios staff members. Although UPA got its start with industrial and World War II training films, it eventually grew and produced theatrical shorts for Columbia Pictures such as the Mr. Magoo series.

This silent home movie shows a wild, alcohol-fueled New Years Eve Party in the 1950’s as family and friends bring in the New Year with festivity, games, dancing, food and refreshments. It appears to take place in a basement and features some men in drag! The film opens with various shots of the guests dancing around the floor (:12). Horse play between guests includes members pulling at another guest’s underwear (:14). This guest is dressed as Baby New Year with a cloth diaper (:16). A few shots follow of guests pulling up their own dresses or shorts to reveal their own undergarments (:40). One guest in particular has his pants removed to reveal a jock strap (:49). Simulated mating act at (1:06). The cameraman zooms in on guests faces as they enjoy food and beverages of the evening (1:23) and captures a couple planting a smooch on one another (1:38). Guests mill throughout the basement as the camera follows them around (2:13). An image of a naked woman is zoomed in on (2:35) prior to another shot of guests kissing (3:12). As the wild evening nears it’s end, and the film as well, the guests sit in chairs lining the room and sip some much needed coffee (3:48).

This black &amp; white educational U.S. Navy Training Film is one of a series made to train lookouts. This one is about using the position angle system when reporting incoming aircraft. Copyright 1944. 

Opening: U.S. Navy Training Film - Position Angle (:06-:21). A sailor serving as a sky lookout uses his binoculars to scan for enemy planes. His job is to report incoming aircraft and their incoming bearing position angle so that the ship can be defended. A plane in the sky as seen through binoculars. Diagram with the line of sight and the horizon, the position angle, and zenith pointed out. The sky above you is a half circle divided by degrees. A plane entering that circle is shown (:22-1:40). A lookout uses an alidade, a sighting device or pointer for determining directions or measuring angles (often used in surveying and formerly astronomy). Diagram shows where the angle you should see the plane is. The diagram shows 'not here' versus 'here' as to where the plane should be sighted. 'Too late' also shows how a plane can evade detection and drop its bombs. A sky lookout uses binoculars and speaks to a telephone talker about the bogey's position angle. The telephone talker radios in the information, the other keeps his eyes on the enemy in the sky (1:41-2:49). End credits (2:50-2:58).

Copyright 1943. The Detroit Diesel Series 71 is a two-stroke diesel engine series, available in both inline and V configurations. The inline six-cylinder 71 series engine was introduced as the initial flagship product of the Detroit Diesel Engine Division of General Motors in 1938.  The first number in the model series designation refers to the number of cylinders, and the second - 71 - the nominal displacement per cylinder in cubic inches, a rounding off of 70.93 cu in (1.2 L). Inline models included one, two, three, four and six cylinders, and the V-types six, eight, 12, 16 and 24 cylinders.  

The two largest V units used multiple cylinder heads per bank to keep the head size and weight to manageable proportions, the V-16 using four heads from the four-cylinder inline model and the V-24 using four heads from the inline six-cylinder model. This feature also assisted in keeping down the overall cost of these large engines by maintaining parts commonality with the smaller models.

The Secret Land is a 1948 American documentary about an American expedition code-named "Operation High Jump" to explore Antarctica. It won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.The movie was entirely by military cameramen. The expedition was under the overall command of Admiral Richard E. Byrd, no stranger to the Antarctic. This was a large undertaking involving 13 ships and over 4000 thousand men. The fleet departed from Norfolk, Virginia traveling through the Panama canal and then southward to their final destination. The trip through the ice pack was fraught with danger and forced the submarine that was part of the fleet to withdraw. The trip was a success meeting all of its scientific goals. The film is narrated by three Hollywood stars, all of whom served in the US Navy: Robert Taylor, Robert Montgomery and Van Heflin.In 1946, the U.S. Navy launches "Operation Highjump" to explore and map the Antarctic region and, in the process, test men, ships and equipment against the harsh climate. Chester W. Nimitz, Chief of Naval Operations, directs the expedition. Three groups make up the expedition: The central land-plane group, headed by Rear-Admiral Richard E. Byrd, will explore and map the interior from a base in Little America, while two other groups will explore and map the eastern and western coasts. The teams must finish their work before the end of the brief Antarctic summer. In addition to scientific equipment and other supplies, the ships carry sled dogs to provide land transportation. At the equator, men and dogs who have never crossed the equator are initiated in humorous King Neptune ceremonies. When strong storms hit the ships in the southern hemisphere, many sailors are injured and several seaplanes are lost. The rough seas prevent the central group from landin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2b62ac80-4214-49a0-bef5-113f32154b54/89e8273a-043f-4597-8a5f-40e4056a22f4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6mJmSfhisz8PmE7qZsZrmy</video:player_loc><video:duration>4262</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T02:48:20.702Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cRDxM9y4D8tFLu7tWgjAGC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e63ab92e-0bbb-4e9e-8883-2b96570df63b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MOON ROCK INVESTIGATORS &amp; APOLLO PROGRAM ASTRONAUT SURVIVAL TRAINING  1970s NASA FILM  87174e</video:title><video:description>This film presented by NASA first takes a look at the geological samples retrieved from the Apollo XI mission in July of 1969. This was the first-time scientists were able to study moon rock specimens. The second section of the film is a training film which shows astronauts learning to survive in the event of a landing on terra firma instead of at sea. The third section takes a look at the airplane Bataan’s retirement from NASA programs. The first section opens with footage of a thin section of the lunar rocks collected and the images are magnified 500x (:36). At NASA’s Ames Research Center, scientists were conducting studies on these photos to understand the moon’s composition (:43). The samples were distributed among 142 investigative teams (:53). They were also working to trace the moon’s history through these samples by looking at the meteorite impacts on the rocks (1:03) as well as searching for any organic compounds to discover whether or not the moon could have sustained life. a Sri Lankan scientist Dr. Cyril Ponnamperuma (1:31) speaks about the excitement and the historical relevance of these scientists being able to look at lunar samples for the first time (1:31). It was the first time they were able to study material from a different body in the solar system (1:42) and the information collected may help them to answer some of the fundamental questions about the origin of the universe. At NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (2:09), scientist Douglas Nash (2:13) explains the three different experiments they were conducting on their samples. These tests included searching for organic molecules in the soil (2:21), determination of whether or not solar radiation had an impact on the lunar surface (2:40), and determination of whether or not water was ever present on the moon’s surface (2:53). At the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, Dr. Adler Isidore (3:17) discuses how the samples included minerals which the scientists had all studied before, ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/60031c15-cbee-476a-b44c-7d8583b8f23c/fe0fb411-515e-4654-8b79-640c7ed4f82a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cRDxM9y4D8tFLu7tWgjAGC</video:player_loc><video:duration>558</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T02:50:34.062Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/p7a9K3CBbh4TkVWQ6C2oJo</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/43bfeae5-bef0-4fb1-ba84-b9ff09e82215.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY OPERATION DEEP FREEZE II   ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION  1956-57  SOUTH POLE  MCMURDO BASE 21864</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dufek called Operation Deep Freeze II. It took place in 1956-57 and was intended to build a permanent station at the South Pole along with establishment of three other IGY stations — Byrd Station in Marie Byrd Land, Wilkes station in Vincennes Bay and Ellsworth station on the Filchner Ice Shelf. The secondary goal was to gain knowledge of the hydrography and weather systems of Antarctica, glacial movements and marine life.  Opening: Operation Deep Freeze II (:06).

This film focuses on the radioisotope; the radioactive isotope of an element. It was produced with the cooperation of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and its contractors (:23). It opens with a quote from Democritus (:40) as well as a man searching for gold in a river (1:03). Today, scientists hunt for minerals such as gold and silver in addition to others such as uranium (1:08). Uranium is a radioactive metal discovered through the use of a Geiger counter (1:20). Scientists believed it would eventually be able a viable power source (1:42), though this would take years of extensive research. The nuclear reactor and incubator of plutonium was a precursor to atomic power plants (1:51). Atomic energy was also the source of radioisotopes (1:58). A diagram of an atom is shown which is the basic unit of matter and within it, electrons revolve around a central nucleus (3:11). The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons (3:24) and the proton carries a unit of positive charge whereas the neutron carries no charge and the electron carries a negative charge (4:06). Charge is dictated in subscript while the mass is dictated in superscript (4:20). The designation for Helium is provided (4:42) as well as for hydrogen and lithium (5:24). All atoms of the same elements have the same number of protons though in most elements there exists variations in the number of neutrons (5:45). These variations are known as isotopes which have different mass numbers (6:26). Cobalt is an example of an element which only has one true form though most have variations (6:56). At higher atomic numbers, the ratio gap between neutrons to protons becomes wider (7:45). This ratio is demonstrated on a graph (5:13). The positions pointed to represent the atoms with a stable number of neutron to proton rates (8:50) while t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/83306b42-4d7d-40eb-886f-c497c077ef0a/a2e28062-a0cb-47c8-9092-04965e239d89-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hcA7bEAFHgeB2Y6dHRXYkm</video:player_loc><video:duration>2058</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T02:57:35.863Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cr4u36F6EkvpZnSKfUFFfn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/beb3c51a-98af-412f-8645-3e4072ab04f4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS " 1946 CASTLE FILM  CLEMENT CLARKE MOORE POEM  SANTA CLAUS  XD49544</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This black &amp; white film "The Night Before Christmas" was one of the most popular releases by Castle Films. The film debuted in 1946 and remained in print for 26 years in both 16mm and 8mm formats.  The film contains a complete narration of the famous poem "Twas the Night Before Christmas a Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement Clarke Moore. The father in the film narrates the poem and, as he speaks the words to the verse,  cartoon segments are interspersed with live action. This includes "dancing sugarplums" and Santa and his reindeer flying through the night sky. (Like with many Castle releases, it's unclear who directed this short or created the animation for it!)

This 1937 film was produced by the Bell and Howell Company (:16) in order to promote the  16mm film format for home use. The film explains the basic principles of motion pictures and shows how sound is recorded onto a strip of film. It opens with footage of female hula dancers (:40) and an airplane flying low near one of the Great Pyramids of Egypt (:45). The White House (:57) and former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt are pictured (1:01). A large projector in use during a theater film feature is shown (1:15) as well as a small 16mm projector in use in a residential home (1:20). Footage is shown of a small boy playing with a dog (1:37) which is slowed down to show it is comprised of a series of slightly different pictures (1:42) -- and that motion is perceived through the phenomenon known as persistence of vision. An optical illusion of a card with one side showing a bird and the other showing a bird cage is demonstrated by spinning the card quickly which makes the bird appear to be within the cage (1:57). Historical footage of Thomas Edison, the inventor of the first talking motion picture follows (2:18). An animation artist is shown drawing the images to be used for a cartoon on an animation stand (2:29). These images are photographed and printed onto a transparent strip of celluloid film (2:47). A close up shot of a projector follows (2:59). Essential parts of the projector include the pre-focused light source (3:02). The revolving shutter is pointed to in action in slow motion (3:31) as well as is regular speed (4:27). A cameraman operates a camera which records the images to be shown through the projector (5:08). The punches which produce the sprocket holes that control the film’s movement are zoomed in on (5:17). Footage is shown of a composite scene meaning it had been...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c6683d72-c12b-4342-bdc7-f160a61b1b07/e83f00b9-61af-417f-9601-587ed17fefca-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qv1ygysj3Vm5Y9ifkA8P6R</video:player_loc><video:duration>652</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T03:00:45.176Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2WuZjPGWVRooL6hdBFxWgj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3e52615e-4ae4-4c8f-876d-47e00739849e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1971 DRIVER'S EDUCATION FILM  " SPACE DRIVING TACTICS "  LOS ANGELES FREEWAYS  85524</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This 1971 color educational/training film from Charles Cahill Associates is a driver safety film about keeping safe distance between cars to prevent accidents, or as the film says, "Space to react, to take action, space to stay out of trouble." The title of the film was likely inspired by Star Trek. 

Opening: a man drives in his station wagon on a Los Angeles freeway. He drives with a cigar in his mouth. His driving off the freeway, onto city streets, and then overturning on a country road is shown in fast motion. A Highway Patrol car arrives on scene. Title: SPACE DRIVING TACTICS (:06-2:01). A stop sign. Four cars approach an intersection at different intervals: a woman smoking, a housewife, a woman with a hat, and a gum chewing socialite (all played by the same actress). The four cars drive near one another on a road. Title card: Speed, your relation to other drivers, your ability to react. Cars drive through traffic. Animation shows a car with extra space driving. A man drives and another car weaves (2:02-3:46). A police car will drive and do a braking test at 30mph. A shot of paint will mark the road. Two men drive in the Highway Patrol car. One of the men marks the road and the officer immediately brakes. Flares on the pavement mark the two spots, the signal and the brake application. How many feet it took to stop is shown. Two cars drive, one tailgates the other (3:47-5:47). One of the cars brakes. A police car will drive and do a braking test at 50mph. How long the reaction distance plus the braking distance is discussed. Police officer drives and slams on the brakes. A car slams on its brakes (5:48-7:04). A man in bed, a woman takes drugs. People party and drink. Cars drive through city streets. A man drives a Ford Mustang, notices a sexy woman walking down the street. He slams...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0fb52abd-178b-4465-a49b-2e386d0e8e38/b0d2c37a-dcfe-45e0-9a41-cbee186eaaf3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2WuZjPGWVRooL6hdBFxWgj</video:player_loc><video:duration>954</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T03:05:06.561Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oiDLmuQNBVMSq1RJuDxbf8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/403d9a6f-32b0-4f6e-bbd4-06055fbbaf7a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII DOCUMENTARY FILM  “ BATTLE FOR NORWAY ”  OSLO  NARVIK  TELEMARK  89184</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This documentary film is about the Battle for Norway during WW2, 1940-1945. The Germans invaded the neutral country in 1940. The invasion set off a resistance by Norwegian underground forces. The film opens with the changing of the guard outside of the Royal Palace in Oslo (:17). King Olaf V (:39) speaks to the severe under-preparedness of Norway prior to WWII and how this event led to the nation joining NATO (1:24).

On April 8th, 1940, Allies informed Norway that mine fields had been set up in Norway’s territorial waters in an effort to hamper the German invasion (2:06). King Haakon VII (2:29). The Norwegian Army consisted of only 13,000 men with no tanks and with few heavy guns. Their air force was outdated and had only 125 pilots (2:36), and was no match for the Luftwaffe (2:43). The Germans attack on April 9th, 1940 (2:49). Norway received a warning four days prior but failed to mobilize reservists (3:08). Oslo surrendered as the King and his government fled (3:13).

Major Vidkun Quisling (4:02), a Norwegian fascist, proclaimed himself as head of the new government (4:02). On April 10th, 1940, panic erupted as a rumor spread British forces were going to shell the city (4:30). The rumor was dispelled by nightfall. In the countryside, Norwegians mobilized forces (4:58) sending some to guard the government that fled to Elverum (5:05). The King was pursued by German Ambassador, Dr. Curt Brauer who attempted to intim...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b49ff7cb-04b0-4118-9e57-2439b1eccb43/4e97a985-3761-4587-98c3-a8596c859b8b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oiDLmuQNBVMSq1RJuDxbf8</video:player_loc><video:duration>1418</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T03:06:10.369Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8K4Ru3o7aJsY5PCWKXj4jM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/58a94f3d-929d-4a37-8489-16a46f519080.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1938 CALIFORNIA HOME MOVIES   ROSE PARADE w/ DISNEY FLOAT &amp; ROSE BOWL   CHRISTMAS EVE  XD14454</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dating to 1953, this charming Coronet Instructional Film tells the story behind the creation of "Silent Night", one of the most beloved Christmas songs of all times. It also shows the traditional Christmas activities in Austria, including caroling and mass, and relates how "Silent Night" ended up spreading worldwide.  

As the film relates, the melody of "Silent Night" (or in German: "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht") was composed in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr in the small town of Oberndorf bei Salzburg, Austria. "Stille Nacht" was first performed on Christmas Eve 1818 at St Nicholas parish church in Oberndorf, a village in the Austrian Empire on the Salzach river in present-day Austria. A young priest, Father Joseph Mohr, had come to Oberndorf in 1917. In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, he had written the poem "Stille Nacht" in 1816 at Mariapfarr, the hometown of his father in the Salzburg Lungau region, where Joseph had worked as an assistant priest. Franz Xaver Gruber, who wrote the melody, was a schoolmaster and organist in the nearby village of Arnsdorf, now part of Lamprechtshausen. On Christmas Eve 1818, Mohr brought the words to Gruber and asked him to compose a melody and guitar accompaniment for that night's mass, after river flooding had possibly damaged the church organ. The church was eventually destroyed by repeated flooding and replaced with the Silent-Night-Chapel. 

Silent Night was declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2011. The song has been recorded by many singers across many music genres. The version sung by Bing Crosby in 1935 is the fourth best-selling single of all-time.

This short film from the 1940s takes viewers on a tour through the historic city of Nazareth. The New Testament describes Nazareth as the childhood home of Jesus and the area has become a center of Christian pilgrimage. It is presented by Films of the Nations (:08) and is narrated by Peter Allen (:29). The film was produced by Maurice T. Broen for D. P. M. Productions Inc. (:32). Between the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula and the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea lay Nazareth also known as the ‘Holy Land’ (:44). Palestine’s landscape consists of plateaus, plains, deserts and arid gardens (:54). Nazareth is located in Galilee (1:15) and the Galilee Sea is where the Gospel of Luke says that Jesus preached to fishermen (1:24). It is also the site where he was said to have performed other miracles such as walking on water. The ancient river of Jordan is shown next (1:38) which is sited in St. Matthew. Jesus was said to have spent his youth in a small town in lower Galilee (2:22). A span of the town in which tradition states Mary and Joseph were to have lived, follows (2:35). The city’s streets and market are dotted with locals walking through (3:22). The fountain of the Virgin Mary rests at the center of a crossroads in the eastern part of town (3:27). The fountain’s historical value has been authenticated and it was rebuilt in 1862 (3:38) though it still receives water from the same mountains it had almost 2,000 years ago. The brothers of the Franciscan Terra Sancta guard and protect the religious relics and mementoes (3:53). A few members are pictured before the Garden of the Church of the Holy Family (4:02) along with the many relics in the garden (4:08-4:38). The northern end of the garden houses the Church of the Holy Family (4:56) and a sign seen outside the entryway reads “Ent...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/144c62bd-7126-44d3-a54b-64681ed777cb/71aedc83-4242-4db6-b571-f4b13097dcd7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3vnYdFdpEymJUi6wJMTcCg</video:player_loc><video:duration>765</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T03:24:53.219Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/j3Qa6BzPd7Hdo933omP3Yv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5d9bbf94-3ca2-4c8a-992d-4ca5d4df4acb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1958 HOME MOVIE   DISNEYLAND " CHRISTMAS IN MANY LANDS " PARADE &amp; WALT DISNEY HIMSELF !

Shot in 1958, this silent home movie shows what we believe to be the Christmas in Many Lands Parade in Disneyland. Amazingly, Walt Disney himself is visible in a car at :25. (We are not sure of the identify of the young girl -- perhaps someone out there will recognize her.)  As you can see, the parade featured performers in many different national costumes, including Chinese, eskimos, and more. It wasn't a huge parade by today's standards, but you have to remember that this was 1958 -- just about two and a half years after the park opened! In fact, according to a Disney blog,  the “Christmas in Many Lands Parade” was the first in Disneyland history and debuted in 1958.  The name changed in 1961 to “Parade of Toys and Parade of all Nations,” but then switched back to “Christmas in Many Lands Parade” until 1964.

This color educational/promotional film is about UNIVAC (Universal Automatic Computer) line of computers. UNIVAC were a line of electronic digital stored-program computers. They were distributed by Sperry Rand. Sperry acquired Remington Rand and renamed itself Sperry Rand. Acquiring then Eckert-Mauchly Computer Corporation and Engineering Research Associates along with Remington Rand, the company developed the successful UNIVAC computer series and signed a valuable cross-licensing deal with IBM. This is circa the mid-1960s. The UNIVAC 9000 series shown (9200 and 9300, as well as 9400 and 9700 which are not shown in the film) was a line of computers introduced by Sperry Rand in the mid-1960s to compete with the low end of the IBM System/360 series. The 9200 and 9300 (which differed only in CPU speed) implemented the same restricted 16-bit subset of the System/360 instruction set as the IBM 360/20, while the UNIVAC 9400 implemented a subset of the full 32-bit System/360 instruction set. The 9400 was roughly equivalent to the IBM 360/30.

This film will take viewers on a tour through post-WWII Belgium. Music for the production was done by Cesar Frank (:10) and it is presented by The Belgium Government Information Center (:07). Philip Clarke narrates (:13) and it commences with a map of Belgium with as the capital Brussels (:26). The Northern Sea is banked by thousands of miles of sand dunes (:58). For generations this sea has provided subsistence for residents of the coastal cities (1:04). Footage of fishermen on horseback (1:26). They would cast a net over the saddle and hang baskets for their catch over the sides (1:26). Mackerel and other fish jump onto a ship’s deck (1:46). Behind the sand dunes, lay the villages dotted with windmills (2:17) as they were popular in the area of Flanders in the northwest. Desert land had been turned into gardens (2:51). Culture here traces its roots in Gaelic and Roman traditions (3:13). Houses within the village are white washed and red roofed (3:25) and a water mill is set within town (3:29). Picturesque shots of Ardennes include rolling hills, forests and valleys as this area is know for its beautiful landscape (3:47). Wallonia is one of the oldest parts of western Europe (3:56). Every inch of the land possible was used for farming including high in the mountains (4:59) as farmers only had five million acres available (5:09). Lumber is harvested from the slopes (5:27) and a truck rides down the road (5:33). From here the film moves into the industrial area (5:45) beginning with a steel mill (5:50). From within the mill, machines are at work pumping out commodities which had once been made by hand (6:25). Cables which connected the country with the world’s markets are moved through a machine (6:47). The area was known for its leather in mediaeval times and it was still produced here ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/25fd308a-1b53-4dd7-b3c1-2d20e33c0919/7587752f-3853-4755-8442-b456f24aabf0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5G5FrATbN86SDwhF6GPFFg</video:player_loc><video:duration>1269</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T03:39:28.066Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fVv3HauFgUjpymHWtKo5RP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a2b79a15-400f-42bb-a8c8-bc102b9236c7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1945 HOME MOVIE SHOT BY U.S. SERVICEMAN   TOLOSA, LEYTE ISLAND, PHILIPPINES &amp; WAR TORN MANILA 51794</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This is a silent 16mm movie filmed by an unknown U.S. serviceman who probably was a member of either the Seventh Fleet Intelligence Center (SEFIC) or the Construction Battalion 598 of the U.S. Navy on Tolosa, Leyte Island, Philippines, where both SEFIC and CBMU 598 were stationed from January 1945. It appears to have been shot between January and September 1945. It features the bases at Leyte, the servicemen's wives and girlfriends, rural scenes in 1945 Philippines, an R&amp;R trip to Manila after the 14th of August 1945 and the aftermath of the Battle for Manila.

This film is an episode of ‘The Search’ a pioneering educational program that aired on CBS. This episode takes a look at the laboratories and plants that pioneered the development of automatic machines in 1954. It takes a tour through the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, the Bell Laboratories in New York, and others locales. It is narrated by Charles Romine (:47). Professor Donald B. Campbell (:52) of MIT, is the leading authority on automatic machines and their processes. In North Grafton, Mass. the Wyman-Gordon Company’s ‘Big Squeeze’ machine (1:21). This was one of two of the largest hydraulic presses in the US which forged aluminum as well as magnesium parts (1:29). using a pressure of 18,000 tons (2:07). These performed only mechanical functions. The film turns to MIT with the FELIX robot searching for sunlight (3:24). Professor Wiener (3:56) explains that FELIX demonstrates how machines can use human senses such as sight. FELIX was able to perceive light similar to the way in which primitive animals do (5:13). Light is collected by photoelectric cells which move his rudder and steer him (5:29). Other machines, such as guided missiles and sonic torpedoes were already using human senses as when they were fired, they chased the sound of ships (5:49). In the MIT digital computer lab, Jay Forrester, the director (6:35) is seen with the Whirlwind (6:37). This computer was able to carry out 25,000 arithmetic operations per second (7:08). Researchers feed a mathematical equation in (7:13) that Whirlwind is able to solve in a fraction of a second (7:28). Whirlwind communicated responses through a recording on magnetic tape which controlled a typewriter (8:34) or by recording curves on a cathode ray tube face(8:47).

This black &amp; white silent film, possibly a home movie shot by a Marine, features footage of United States Marine Reservists doing basic training including marksmanship as well as a live fire exercise. The canister it came is was marked "summer service", no dates but probably from the late 1940s or early 50s before the outbreak of the Korean War. The film most likely shows members of the 2nd Marine Division and was shot at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina (based on a sign appearing at 8:03).

On December 25-27 1970, a New Age festival known as "The Happening" took place in Laguna canyon, in an area known as Sycamore Flats near El Toro Road. Although it wouldn't rival Woodstock, the August, 1969 rock and peace festival that became world famous, the Happening aka The Great Happening aka The Christmas Happening, had its own unique impact and was attended by about 25,000 people. The event happened in a more organic way than Woodstock and it paled in size and scope, but the Laguna Happening echoed the same sentiments of peace and free love as its New York brother, and it drew a stream of hippies, peaceniks and potheads, and flower children. It also expanded many minds, thanks in part to LSD that literally rained down from the sky -- Orange Sunshine that was thrown out of a passing small airplane. Unfortunately the event drew unwanted attention as well: at 10 a.m. on the Happening's third day the police, who had been actively seizing drugs at the entrance to the bowl, finally had enough. Over 450 officers moved in and forcibly shut down the event. They then bulldozed the venue. Few recognized it at the time, but an era in Laguna Beach history had just come to an end.

This historic film "Montmarte 44" is part of the series France on the March, "La France en Marche". It features the Free French Army under General Phillippe Leclerc de Hautecloque and portrays the liberation of Paris in August 1944. It also shows the actions of the French Resistance in the Montmartre district the day before the Leclerc Division stormed Paris. The film includes some reenactments.

Summary: It would be in the northern part of Paris - the Montmartre -- that resistance fighters set up barricades to resist the German occupation, and began to arrest Nazi collaborators. Women who consorted with the enemy were shaved and marked with the swastika. Male collaborators are interrogated before being handed over to the police. While the French Forces of the Interior chase members of the Legion of French Volunteers Against Bolshevism or LVF from the rooftops, the Parisian people burn the remaining and now - unattended - Nazi effigies. The locals of Montmartre, gathered at the foot of the Sacré-Coeur, observe the fighting taking place at the gates of Paris through the sightseeing binoculars installed there. When the troops of General Leclerc and Patton enter Paris, French and American flags appear at the windows and the troops are greeted warmly by the crowds. Gathered at the Butte Montmartre, the soldiers and the Parisians admire the now-liberated capital.

This 1966 film takes a look at a day in the life in Colonial Williamsburg in the 18th century presented by Eastman Kodak Company and Colonial Williamsburg Inc. (:11). A note appears which informs viewers that the homes, shops, streets and public buildings of colonial Williamsburg had been restored due to the generosity of John D. Rockefeller Jr. (:19). It begins with a master wood maker; Christopher Kendall, at his shop (1:08) as well as his son Tom and other journeymen and apprentices. Tom is shown around the shop on his first day of apprenticeship which may lead into him becoming a master of the craft and establishing his own business (1:33). The master is in charge of management, casting accounts and designing the furniture produced in his shop (2:00). Journeymen are workers who have completed their apprenticeship and are free to seek employment (2:14). ‘The Gentlemen and Cabinet Makers Director’ by Thomas Chippendale is shown (2:39) as colonial wood workers were often influenced by the English. In the Middle Ages in England, craftsmen were a part of guilds for mutual protection consisting of masters and apprentices (2:46). By the 18th century the power of the guild had declined (3:04). The legal relation between apprentice and masters however, continued and Tom is assigned to a journeyman to learn his craft (3:24). He is shown the common tools of the trade including the bench clamp and saw (3:29). Wood makers played a major role in the development of the modern world as many products such as the cart wheel and the water wheel were initially made from wood (4:25). The governor’s secretary sharpens his quill with a pen knife in order to take diction in the office of the Royal Governor (5:55). The Royal Governor was the King’s representative in the Virginia Colony playing a major role ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e7814087-8957-4dc5-8bad-878047045e09/0cb13bac-a1c4-4e46-a32a-0be381e506d5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uA4nTCYWAhx7teURuDzgJR</video:player_loc><video:duration>1385</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T03:51:26.784Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fYKMJfZZbppsG85NiDG2Jq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4b46529a-9a49-4c4a-b944-ae417751495b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>POST-WWII 1940s HAWAII HOME MOVIES   HICKAM FIELD   PEARL HARBOR  WAIKIKI BEACH  53334</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Made by the late John Hutter in the late1940s or early 1950s, this travelogue film shows views of St. Augustine, Florida. The filmmaker, who was a Chicago-based accountant, traveled all over the world and filmed many of his adventures. The title card at the beginning "Chateau Hutter Films Presents", refers to a European-style resort that Hutter built in Door County, Wisconsin. Apparently Hutter hoped to show this film and others to visitors there, but the resort never hit its stride due to a series of disputes between Hutter and the local chamber of commerce.

The 91st Bomb Group (Heavy) was an air combat unit of the United States Army Air Forces during the Second World War. Classified as a heavy bombardment group, the 91st operated B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft and was known unofficially as "The Ragged Irregulars" or as "Wray's Ragged Irregulars", after the commander who took the group to England. During its service in World War II the unit consisted of the 322nd, 323rd, 324th, and 401st Bomb Squadrons. The 91st Bomb Group is most noted as the unit in which the bomber Memphis Belle flew, and for having suffered the greatest number of losses of any heavy bomb group in World War II.

This silent, color home movie footage shows a wedding, as well as a visit to Santa Barbara and the Pacific Ocean in 1939. It's possible that the trip served as the unknown couple's honeymoon. The man shown at the beginning of the film, Charlie Wiman, is believed to have been Commodore Charles Wiman of the Santa Barbara Yacht Club, and master of the yacht Patolita shown in the film. More importantly, Wiman was also the president and owner of the John Deere Tractor Company in Moline, Illinois, and the only son of John Deere’s to live to adulthood.

Opening: A disclaimer opens the film. A Prank Production - Koenig's Krowded Korner or Bill's Life at KNARF (:15). (NARF was the name for the Naval Aerospace Recovery Facility.

JOHN PAUL STAPP  HOLLOMAN NEW MEXICO 43404</video:title><video:description>This silent, raw footage dates to March 19, 1954 and shows human factors experiments involving Col. John Paul Stapp, who in December of that same year rode a rocket sled called the Sonic Wind at speeds up to 632 miles per hour at Holloman, New Mexico. This set a ground speed record and put Stapp into the books as "Fastest Man on Earth". The film starts with footage of the preparation of the Sonic Wind at :30. At 1:08, Northrop Aircraft crew strap Dr. Stapp into the rocket sled. An aluminum wind screen can be clearly seen in the front of the sled.  At 5:20, the test is underway with the rocket sled screaming down the Holloman test track and hitting a water brake, which rapidly decelerates it and Dr. Stapp. At 7:00, Dr. Stapp assists ground crew in unbelting himself from the sled and at 7:34 he walks off under his own power.

Featuring footage shot just before WWII, Library Films' CROSSROADS TO THE ORIENT (:08) presents rare color images of Manila and the Philippines. As the opening credits of the film explain, the Philippine Islands suffered severe war damage and the islands Zombanga and Jolo were included (:20). However, the way of life on these islands did not change much and the scenes depicted in this film, which were shot before the war, will accurately display life on these islands. The capitol of the Philippine Islands is a city called Manila (1:08). The old city is encircled in a wall built by the Spanish in 1517 (1:24). Steamers from around the world meet along the city's waterfront and country side is riddled with rice fields (1:45). The volcanic crater of lake Taal is the only place in the world where both a mountain exists in a lake, and a lake exists in a mountain (1:58). There are over a hundred islands in the Philippines group (2:31), Zombanga being one of them. This entire city rests on stilts above the water (2:53) and streets are crafted with bamboo (2:56). As firewood is a necessary commodity, it is brought in from other islands (3:44). Food and clothing are bought and sold as, weekly, natives from surrounding islands come (4:12). The people mainly rely on fish, coconuts and rice for food and meat is a rarity (4:35). Exotic fruits like the durian, are a special delicacy of the islands (4:55). As much of this world is cut off from modernization, people live similarly to the ways of their forefathers (5:10). A custom to be depicted is a village wedding (5:28). The bride is escorted by villagers to the wedding place and each villager wears their best sarong (5:31). The gong ringer is shown wearing typical attire including silks and close fitting trousers (5:42). A unique tradition is the fil...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e4d8fdd0-a326-4796-a926-2209f396e8ef/1063c90a-963b-487f-91fa-b690f412e99f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ug2xCZrRuNEjVpfzVeYzCT</video:player_loc><video:duration>598</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T04:07:19.920Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7ydpiokFzaiFFodq7drdeV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9e233b10-8c1a-46af-affc-a82da8a7fa77.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HUMAN FACTORS ROCKET SLED TESTS BY COL.

Milestones of the Century shows the heroic contribution made by Col. John Paul Stapp in the study of human factors. At :43, Stapp is shown boarding the Gee Whiz rocket sled test at Edwards Air Force Base / Muroc, as part of groundbreaking human deceleration experiments. At 1:01, Stapp is shown with his face distorting due to acceleration and deceleration. At 1:22, the June, 1954 test at Holloman, New Mexico aboard the Sonic Wind produced a 421 mph acceleration. At 1:40, Stapp's face distorts as he travels at high speed and slams into the water brake. At 1:56, the December, 1954 test with 9 JATO rocket bottles is shown at Holloman, New Mexico, simulating an ejection from a jet aircraft at supersonic speeds. This test on December 10th, 1954 hit speeds up to 632 miles per hour. This set a ground speed record and put Stapp into the books as "Fastest Man on Earth".

Shot by a U.S. serviceman, this 16mm silent home movie shows rare footage of Taiwan and likely dates to 1948 or 1949. At the time, Taiwan had just emerged from an era where it was a Japanese colony for fifty years (1895-1945). A new era was beginning with the dramatic finale to the Chinese Civil War, with Chiang Kai-Shek's nationalist forces retreating to the island after their defeat on the mainland. The footage in the film provides a rare look at the immediate postwar era in Taiwan, with the trappings of Japanese colonization still visible.

This set a ground speed record and put Stapp into the books as "Fastest Man on Earth". The film starts with footage of Stapp being strapped into the sled and telemetry belts being affixed to his helmet and person. At 4:00, the Northrop Aircraft crew in the blockhouse begins a countdown. At 6:40 a signal flare is fired across the Holloman track. At 10:40, the sled is seen moving at high speed towards the water brake, which produces decelerating g-forces for the experiment. At 11:00, the ground team rushes to assist Col. Stapp. At 11:25, he is examined by a physician and removed from the sled. His eyes are visibly "redded out" from the massive deceleration. At 12:50 he is evacuated by ambulance to the base hospital where he is examined further at 13:00.The effects on his eyes is shown at 14:30.

John Paul Stapp, an Air Force medical doctor who was studying human factors at Holloman, Air Force Base. All the footage shown here is likely from the record-setting run on December 10, 1954, although it may be possible that the material prior to 14:20 is from an earlier test.

At :30, crews are shown loading JATO type rocket bottles to the Sonic Wind rocket sled in preparation for a test run. At 2:48, the sled track is shown with attached telemetry cable. At 4:46, rockets are bolted securely into place. At 5:28, Stapp goes over the test for a final time with his team before climbing into the seat of the Sonic Wind and being strapped in. At 7:01 he is seen with his crash helmet in place. At 10:58 the test gets underway with the rocket bottles firing and the sled accelerating down the track. At 11:20 the sled hits the water brake, subjecting Stapp to tremendous G loads. At 13:00, Stapp leaves the scene in an Air Force ambulance as a precaution. At 14:20, a slade indicates the film was shot on December 10, 1954 with a Maurer camera by cameraman Muschinsky. Project MX-981 was the operative name for the human deceleration test program. At 14:56, the Sonic Wind's on-board camera is shown. At 15:27, the Northrop Aviation logo is displayed on the side of the rocket sled, followed by various shots of the sled prior to the test. Dr. Stapp is shown at 16:15 speaking to another Air Force officer.   At 17:09, a shot from the base of the water brake shows the astonishing power of the sled as it decelerates. The December 10, 1954 test shown simulated an ejection from a jet aircraft at supersonic speeds. This test hit speeds up to 632 miles per hour. This set a ground speed record and put Stapp into the books as "Fastest Man on Earth". At 18:23, Dr. Stapp shows some ill effects of the deceleration, with his eyes pooling with blood in a "red out". Stapp is removed from the sled and taken to a hospital by ambulance fo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/418bf131-566c-4661-b036-86282724f3c6/40e73a4c-e553-457b-aade-f09fa8de1823-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/96s9yvWpZXdrZBxUDGLXV9</video:player_loc><video:duration>1299</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T04:22:16.596Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ir9R7nwRf2PQggRMwSk6QW</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6916ee02-549d-41ee-973d-e9740834a5f3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1958 US ARMY FILM “ SWEDEN  MODERN LAND OF THE VIKINGS ”  STOCKHOLM GOTHENBURG  89254</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This film looks at Sweden’s early Viking history and how the country has grown while retaining its history. It was produced by Olle Nordemar Artfilm (:29) and opens with a view from the Baltic Sea (:56) on the island of Gotland. Gotland was the center of trade (1:01) beginning in days of the Vikings and extending through the days of the Hanseatic League (1:13). The serpent head on one of the Viking longboats on a painting depicting their gathering on Gotland Island (1:20). Vikings conducted voyages to Russia and Constantinople and their neighbors on the western side of Scandinavia headed to Ireland and England (1:33). Viking artifacts including a helmet (1:52), Viking jewelry and amulets (2:24). Runestones (3:00) tell tales of heroism. An artist paints the city wall of Visby, Sweden’s medieval town (3:11). Remnants of the Hanseatic days are exemplified in Visby’s medieval churches and monasteries (3:27). The Saint Catherine Franciscan Monastery is from the 14th century (3:38) when Gothic architecture was at it’s peak. Visby has become a  Swedish resort (4:21). Yachting is popular here as there are many caves and islands (4:58). When the water freezes into large slabs in the winter, Swedes race in speedy ice yachts (6:06). Skiing and cross-country skiing -- Sweden has an international reputation and many Winter Olympics trophies (6:39). The annual Vasa-race covers 56 miles from Salen to Mora (7:25). It commemorates Gustav Vasa, a Swedish patriot who was exiled over political matters in the winter. As he was leaving, his followers met up with him on ski’s and convinced him to return (7:39). He led a war of liberation and became the King of modern Sweden (7:53). King Gustaf Adolf (7:59) is pictured along with a parade procession commemorating Sweden’s Flag Day (8:04).

Made by Jam Handy, "It Could Be You" dates to 1949. This film was made during a time of unusual crisis -- when a shift from wartime to peacetime production led to a unique shortage of new cars despite heavy demand. As the film explains during WW2, the USA's auto industry was geared towards manufacturing war materials, leading to a complete halt of production of new makes and models. The film opens with a man receiving a phone call about a delivery of his brand-new vehicle (1:05). The narrator explains that Chevy is making more new cars than any other manufacturer (1:13). Two men are watching the film in a theater and one asks “When do I get my new Chevrolet?” (1:45). His peer replies that he must watch the rest of the film (1:54). The pair continues to watch (2:08) and it carries on with how in the early 1940’s when someone wanted a new car they could have one within a day or two (2:16). Many American’s had become accustomed to the ease and availability of being able to get replacement vehicles until WWII hit (2:44). Automobile plants were cleared out for the manufacture of war materials (2:47) which meant that production of new cars completely stopped. Within the US, citizens were encouraged to carpool and conserve gas for the war effort (3:02) and people turned from buying new products to having their old worn out products fixed which included their vehicles. A magazine follows showing post war cars (3:12) that many citizens anxiously waited for. Banners and building signs read “Japanese surrender” as V-J Day arrived on August 15th, 1945 (3:19). For automobile manufacturers such as Chevrolet, this meant the starting gate for production of new cars for residential and commercial use (3:24). The inside of a Chevrolet automobile factory is shown (3:28). Prior to the war they had construc...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b6c0b14b-34d5-4faf-bb7f-bc15645a0658/ca0cfae5-cce6-46b4-8425-3ae7c0d5c0e9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oyTEJnLiTjUA1rZxqQMnsY</video:player_loc><video:duration>653</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T04:28:02.970Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oq5RsFG57LkEBqPBx7YJCQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a644eda7-ef0b-406b-9f49-0559a51af667.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CARRIER OPERATIONS AT SEA 1944   ESSEX CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIER  TBM AVENGER HELLCAT  HELLDIVER  21704</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Includes footage of aircraft operations including Grumman TBM Avengers, Curtiss Helldivers and Hellcats, maintenance, take-offs and landings, and the mundane side of crew life.

This 1950 film presented by the Hawaiian Pineapple Company (:08) is a promotion for the Dole Fruit Cocktail invented in the Barron-Gray Canning Company plant. The cocktail includes cherries, peaches, pears, grapes and pineapples. The film shows this colorful variety of fruits from their harvest and as they go through canning processes. It was produced by Jerry Fairbanks Inc. (:18) and opens with a span of a cherry tree orchard (:28) in the San Joaquin Valley, California. The famous vinelands of lower San Joaquin Valley follow, (1:42) rich with Thomas seedless grapes. The girdling manner used for every vine providing fruit for the Dole Fruit Cocktails is shown (1:58). Pineapples from Hawaii will also be added to the cocktail (2:17). (Today pineapples are not harvested for this purpose, as it is too expensive to grow them in Hawaii). Cherries which are the last to bloom and the first to ripen undergo inspections to be added to the mix (2:38). The picking process has not changed much, though growing methods have changed (2:48). Amidst Barron-Gray Packing Company boxes, an inspector checks the picked fruits (2:56). The ring used to check the size of pears  (3:08). These will be scientifically ripened at the right time for use. Fruit is loaded into boxes and an inspector (4:01) checks batches prior to shipment. For these checks, the orchard superintendent and his aide work closely together (4:18). Dole boxes loaded atop the trailer (4:32) will be sent to a receiving station where the pears will undergo cold storage (4:41). From here they will be moved into the ripening rooms (4:52). A giant harvesting machine heads through the pineapple orchards in the Hawaiian Islands (5:01). Dole operated the largest pineapple cannery in Honolulu (5:27). Back in California, the grapes are plucked by picker...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/cc4fbc16-928b-4a7b-aabd-3ed014e429de/1b0f7621-ec29-4a2a-b582-b534840b4f04-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/reicxafDLqHv8eae995avG</video:player_loc><video:duration>1343</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T04:34:50.683Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5gjBEFN9jndPGCsSqxMR53</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b323cd9c-a7ff-44db-8bd7-d5c5a478c399.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PRESIDENT FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT " DAY OF INFAMY " SPEECH  DEC. 8, 1941  WAR AGAINST JAPAN 22404</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

The Presidential Address to Congress on December 8, 1941. Known as the Infamy Speech, it was delivered at 12:30 p.m. that day to a Joint Session of Congress by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt, one day after the Empire of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor Naval Base, Hawaii. Roosevelt famously describes the previous day as "a date which will live in infamy." Within an hour of the speech, Congress passed a formal declaration of war against Japan and officially brought the U.S. into World War II. The address is regarded as one of the most famous American political speeches of the 20th century.

Speech transcript:

YESTERDAY, December 7, 1941 a date which will live in infamy the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

The United States was at peace with that Nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in the American Island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. And while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Haw...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/22882edc-fc09-46a3-9461-3b01c0c38346/09534f68-001c-4caa-b65b-7b6eebb8467f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5gjBEFN9jndPGCsSqxMR53</video:player_loc><video:duration>498</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T04:36:00.708Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vr3YaQhuuRhSFnKqgWopah</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/34249bed-589f-4e1c-a033-09755f2b3f52.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1938 U.S. NAVY ASIATIC FLEET  IN CHINA   YANGTZE PATROL  RIVER GUNBOATS  20460</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This 1938 film "With the Yangtze Patrol" takes a look at the U.S. Navy's riverine operation  along the Yangtze River. From 1854 to 1949 enacted to protect the Navy patrolled the coastal waters of China in a bid to extend U.S. economic interests including those of the Standard Oil Co. The Naval forces, including destroyers of the Asiatic fleet, were anchored in Shanghai near the mouth of the Yangtze River (:22).This includes the USS Simpson,(DD-221/APD-27/AG-97), a Clemson-class destroyer detached to the Asiatic Fleet in 1925, as well as the USS Augusta (CL/CA-31) which was deployed in 1933.  USS Borie (DD-215) is seen at 1:08. Portions of the thousands of miles of the Yangtze River were considered dangerous and riddled with bandits and pirates (1:25). A view of the river is seen as it cut along the rigid country side slopes (1:38). A traditional Chinese pagoda stands atop a hill (1:43). Young native men are seen walking along a ridge of a mountain side (1:59). The river is viewed cutting through mountains (2:22). Chinese boat men are seen navigating the river’s rapids (2:45). A point of view shot is seen from aboard the vessel (2:51). Natives are seen standing as they row the long oars (3:04). The ship is pulled ashore by an army of native trackers with long ropes cast over their shoulders (4:47). 1,400 miles from Shanghai is Chongqing which had been used as a base by light draft US gunboats in order to protect commerce along the river (5:52). Vessels move forward along the river’s waters (6:18). US sailors are seen walking up concrete stairs among natives (6:48). Natives carry covered litters on their shoulders with single passengers aboard as they walk up the stairs (7:03).

This film depicts the landings and operations of the U.S. forces on Tinian Island in the Marianas Islands in World War II.  The Battle of Tinian took place from 24 July until 1 August 1944.

The film opens with a map showing the Marianas (:20). While Saipan had been hit by U.S. forces, Tinian was closely observed and studied (:37). Daily plane strikes and naval bombardments hit the island (:49) and photograph reconnaissance missions were carried out. The beaches which were chosen for landings are pointed out a few miles from the Fabius San Hilo Point (1:26). 90% of Tinian’s land is cultivated for sugar cane growth (2:50). Special points of interest include Tinian town on Tinian harbor (2:58) as well as two villages near Ushi Point Airfield (3:03). The road (3:13) and railways (3:44) which connect the island are shown. The landings on the chosen beaches were to be completed with tactical surprise (4:05). The northern sector including Ushi Point Airfield and Asica Bay follow (4:30). The southern sector was to include a second airfield and the harbor area (4:44). The western sector was to be responsible for the northwest section and the landing beaches (4:58). An artillery battalion which was attached to the 50th Infantry Regiment included three battalions and twelve 75 mm guns (5:08). One battalion was to hit the Tinian harbor area, another to hit the Asica harbor area, and the third in the White Beaches area (5:17). The reserve forces were to be in the Mount Lasso area (5:26).

This black &amp; white home movie shows a group of friends golfing at the Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco, CA. It was shot in the late 1920s or early 1930s by San Francisco residents Edward and Mary Burns, who added their own title cards. The Presidio Golf Club was first laid out in 1896, making it one of the oldest golf courses West of the Mississippi. While first created for military personnel, The Presidio became a joint club with both civilian and military membership in 1916 and built the elegant Tudor style clubhouse that still exists since 1924. The Presidio Course remained exclusive up until 1995, when it opened to the public. The course was originally designed by Robert Wood Johnstone and was expanded in 1910 by Johnstone in collaboration with William McEwan. It was then redesigned and lengthened by the British firm of Fowler &amp; Simpson in 1921.  The 18-hole course now plays 6,500 yards of challenging golf winding through beautiful Eucalyptus and Monterey Pine trees in San Francisco's trademark hills.

Made by the Shell Oil Co. as part of the "This is Oil" series of public relations films, this film "Prospecting for Petroleum" was produced by George Pal,  a famed Hungarian-American animator, film director and producer, principally associated with the fantasy and science-fiction genres. The film was re-edited by the Shell Film Unit and released in June 1956. It was directed by Duke Goldstone with music by Clarence Wheeler and animation by Erwin Broner. Backgrounds by famed artist Reginald Massie, who worked closely with George Pal. This 1950s era, color, claymation film tells the story of oil -- where petroleum comes from and how it has been prospected over the decades. The film opens with oil dripping from the left-hand side of the screen. Animations show ships and aircraft, cars and locomotives. The movie begins by being narrated by oil itself - and as a man sits in a chair, the background scenery changes to the different ways petroleum is used 1:30. Gears turn 1:55. Candles and oils are shown 2:06. A professor draws a circle on a blackboard 2:25. Mountains are shown 2:41. The different layers of the earth are shown 3:02. A plum shrivels to a prune in the professor’s hand 3:12. The blackboard drawing becomes an actual scene of the earth in a discussion about external forces on the earth’s surface 3:45. The professor demonstrates how different levels of soil and sediment build up over time in the Earth’s strata 4:02. The layers of sediment are often several miles in depth and put extreme pressure on the lower levels 4:14. Mud become shale, sands become sandstone and skeletons of marine animals become limestone 4:26. The remains of plants and marine animals are preserved by the salt water and heat and pressure eventually produce petroleum from the organic matter 4:38.

This silent footage shows the Sick's Brewery's hop cultivation and harvesting operation. The Sick Brewery existed only for a short time from 1943-1953. It was founded by Alberta brewer Emil Sick, who purchased the brewery of the Salem Brewing Association located in Salem, Oregon. The Salem location expanded the reach of Sick's empire, which included breweries in Washington State and Montana. "Sick's Select Beer" was produced in quantity, with the Salem brewery producing up to 27 million bottles per year until it closed in 1953. The brand continued to be made at the Century Brewery in Seattle, under the name Sicks' Seattle Brewing &amp; Malting Co., up until about 1966.
 
It's unclear why this particular footage was shot, but likely that it was made for a promotional film about the Sick's Brewery. The footage is especially noteworthy because it contains footage of African American and other agricultural workers who were not often portrayed in industrial films in this era.

Highlights include: 

:25 Sick's Select Hops sign
1:19 African American workers carrying bags of hop seedlings
2:33 inspection of the bagged crop
4:30 sweeping panorama of Salem, Oregon agricultural area, and aerials of the farm
8:13 prepping soil for the planting of hops
8:50 workers prepping overhead for planting
9:30 planting performed by white and African American workers
12:35 biplane conducts crop dusting operation on the crop

Viking was a 4-crew, twin-engine turbofan-powered jet aircraft that was used by the U.S. Navy (USN) primarily for anti-submarine warfare, as well as surface warfare and aerial refueling, electronic warfare and surface surveillance capabilities to carrier battle groups. A subsonic, all-weather, long-range, multi-mission aircraft, it served with the fleet until 2009.The film begins with a slate indicating that the footage was shot at 120 frames per second (roughly 6x normal speed) from camera 782. At :24, you can clearly see the flames from the ROCAT and STAPAC vernier rocket motor systems cease and the SMS rocket on the top of the seat fire. It's unclear if this test was successful -- one might suspect given how the seat windmills that it was not, despite a clean chute at the end. At 2:14, a wide shot shows the test from a distance shot at 500 fps, about 20x normal (slomo). At 7:30 is another angle on the test. 
 (Special thanks to Kevin Coyne and http://www.ejectionsite.com/ for some of this information). 

The SA-3 Viking was equipped with forward-facing, upward-firing Douglas Escapac zero-zero ejection seats. In "group eject" mode, initiating ejection from either of the front seat ejects the entire crew in sequence, with the back seats ejecting 0.5 seconds before the front in order to provide safe separation. The aircraft's rear seats were capable of self ejection and the ejection sequence included a pyrotechnic charge that stowed the rear keyboard trays out of the way immediately before ejection. Safe ejection required the seats to be weighted in pairs and when flying with a single crewman in the back the unoccupied seat was fitted with ballast.

You can see the long version here: https://youtu.be/j2cDGRnHh3k

The film follows the production of three programs at KTLA in Los Angeles as they are planned, rehearsed, and televised. In addition to showing how television programs are prepared for transmission to the homes of a community, it also shows the use of live cameras, film, magnetic tape, and remote pick-ups from trucks and helicopters. At 1:11, a writer puts ideas into a script. At 1:19, a live dance performance is rehearsed on the KTLA soundstage. At 1:47, a large TV camera is moved into position. At 1:59 in an editing suite, 16mm motion picture film is loaded into a projector for broadcast. At 2:11, a local news report goes on the air at 1 p.m., with the motion picture film being projected into a TV camera so that it can go to air. At 2:41, the news director gets a "flash" and dispatches the station's TV news helicopter to film it. At 3:03, a magnetic tape is prepared to record the images shot by the helicopter's portable TV camera. The fire is put on the air live. At 3:44, makeup is applied for the dance number. As the news program ends, the control room switches to the "Polka Parade" live music and dance show. At 4:26 the station's transmitter is shown beaming the show into local homes where people are seen watching TV. At 4:42 the station soundstage is rearranged for the big musical finale. At 6:00, a local parade is filmed live and broadcast on the station. The End.

Made by the Burton Holmes organization, this black &amp; white educational U.S. Navy Training Film is one of a series made to train lookouts. This one is about learning the bearings in degrees system for use at sea, in reporting enemy ships and aircraft. No copyright but this is circa 1944. 

Opening: U.S. Navy Training Film - Training Lookouts Part 2 - Bearings (:09-:52). Two sailors on watch look out at the sea, one has binoculars. A warship is seen in the distance. How should its position be described? 

An officer places a ship model down on a table. He turns it. A diagram shows the circle around the ship. Markers for 0-360 degrees are placed. The ship is in the middle of this marker circle (:53-2:50). A ship goes around the circle in relation to your ship and you can know the position based on degrees. Dead ahead is explained as is the clockwise way of a clock. A ship is placed north of your ship as displayed by models. The other ship is positioned at 90 degrees, the next is put at 180 degrees, and the next at 270 degrees (2:51-5:13). Two ship models are placed near your ship. One is 45 degrees and the other is 315 degrees. Title: How to Report and Record Bearings. A sailor uses binoculars that are attached to a bearing system.

Dating to July of 1971, this silent film shows rocket sled tests of Douglas ESCAPAC escape systems for the S-3A Viking at China Lake Naval Weapons Center. Viking was a 4-crew, twin-engine turbofan-powered jet aircraft that was used by the U.S. Navy (USN) primarily for anti-submarine warfare, as well as surface warfare and aerial refueling, electronic warfare and surface surveillance capabilities to carrier battle groups. A subsonic, all-weather, long-range, multi-mission aircraft, it served with the fleet until 2009.The film begins with a slate indicating that the footage was shot at 400 frames per second (roughly 16x normal speed) from camera 4716. Other slates show other external camera positions. 

The SA-3 Viking was equipped with forward-facing, upward-firing Douglas Escapac zero-zero ejection seats. In "group eject" mode, initiating ejection from either of the front seat ejects the entire crew in sequence, with the back seats ejecting 0.5 seconds before the front in order to provide safe separation. The aircraft's rear seats were capable of self ejection and the ejection sequence included a pyrotechnic charge that stowed the rear keyboard trays out of the way immediately before ejection. Safe ejection required the seats to be weighted in pairs and when flying with a single crewman in the back the unoccupied seat was fitted with ballast.

This short film was made by NASA to show progress in the Manned Space Flight arena as of January, 1964. It opens with the NASA seal (:11) and then turns to the countdown of the final manned space flight of NASA’s Mercury program (:31). This program began in 1958 featuring a series of 6 manned space flights (:39). This program created global network tracking communications and mission controls (1:12). It was operated out of three field centers; Manned Space Craft Center in Houston, Texas (1:33), the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama (1:41), and the JFK Space Center in Coco Beach, Florida (1:43). All of the activities were directed out of Washington, DC (1:49). Other NASA centers, universities (1:56) and military services such as those at White Sands Missile Range, partook in the endeavors (1:58). Spacecraft is seen being tested at McDonnell Aircraft Corporation in St. Louis (2:24). Two crafts were in final assembly; the first was to be delivered to Kennedy Space Center (2:41). The first Gemini launch vehicle had been manufactured by Martin Co. and the Air Force (2:59). The first unmanned flight would provide research to be used in the Apollo program (3:22) and in the manned space program of the Department of Defense (3:26), the manned orbiting lab (MOL). In 1962-63, fields were converted into the Manned Space Center in Houston (3:49). The integrated mission control center (4:08) would direct both Gemini and Apollo spacecraft (4:08). Tests were in progress for Apollo (4:28) and Command Modules were constructed (4:33). In December 1963, at the White Sands Missile Range, a boiler plate Command Module was used to test the launch escape system (4:40). On Nov. 7th, the off the pad abort test system was demonstrated (4:51).

The film follows a White man as he debates the ideas of equal opportunity. While he believes he is upholding this ideal in the workplace, the film shows that he is both a sexist and a racist, and in fact is continuing to judge potential and current employees prejudicially. Throughout the film are intermittent dreamlike sequences of a group of people debating his actions and assessing his motivations. The official U.S. Army description of the film stated that "Exposes the 'games people play', intentionally or not, and put up obstacles to equal opportunity."

The film opens with a montage of people blaming various races for incidents and using racial slurs (1:05). One man blames the Chinese laundry for a missing button on his shirt (1:01). The final woman says ‘racist’ (1:40). At (2:05) a cartoon shows a caveman inventing the wheel. A short time later, an African American man accuses a White committee of playing a "game", and the audience walks out of the hearing. The main character, who we'll call The Boss, is seen driving to a job interview (4:51) and along the way he flashes back to various instances in his career. A New York cab driver talks about race and the problems of inequality (5:45). The Boss remembers his boss giving him a hard time for only have a few minorities in his employment (6:43) as businesses were pushing to be more diverse. The Boss recalls an interview with an Hispanic man, played by actor Barry Williams -- Greg from the Brady Bunch -- which he arrived late to (8:22). During the interview, he rudely answers the phone once the interview has started (9:01). The interviewee wants the job because it is a good opportunity (9:42). While the man gets the job, he struggles (10:22). The Boss  debates firing him (11:13).

This silent movie, entitled "First Woman-Cosmonaut" is a short extract of a 1974 documentary about the first woman in space. It was sold for the home market in the former Soviet Union. The film was directed by Maria Goldovskaya, Yuri Letunov, Leonid Yerokhin and S. Tsvetkova, and tells the story of Valentina Tereshkova. Tereshkova was born and raised by a single mother and began her career as a worker in a textile factory, before becoming a female cosmonaut. She was one of the so-called "First Batch" of 5 women who were selected in the Vostok human space flight program. She orbited the Earth 48 times starting on 16 June 1963 and spent almost three days in space, and remains the only woman in history to have been on a solo space mission.

Made in 1969 by the Manitoba Department of Tourism, this colorful film takes viewers on a tour through Manitoba, Canada. The province sits between Ontario and Saskatchewan and is known as the "Polar Bear Capitol of the World". It is also known for its world-renowned museums and unique festivals. Due to their Viking history, Icelanders named the first settlement of Manitoba after the home of the Gods in Norse mythology; Gimli (1:52). A view of the harbor with yachts and bikini clad women (2:24). The first festival shown is the Manitoba Festival in Gimli which is uniquely Canadian, though it features recipes from Iceland and Manitoba’s early heritage (3:09). There are so many lakes in the area that tabulators gave up the task of counting them after hitting 100,000 (3:51). Families and young couples are seen splashing in the waters and playing in the sands of Manitoba Beach (4:00). Next, the town of Flin Flon (4:32). The copper and gold of this area drew in prospectors (4:39). The traditional toe tapping Flin Flon dances are shown at the Trout Festival (4:41). Long boats race (5:38) and a triage is seen in a pyramid formation on water skis (6:20). Another Manitoba festival is the Sunflower Festival during which three women with sunflower hats compete in a sunflower seed eating contest (8:05). This festival also features a low German play specifically created for the festival (8:40), motorbike races, a parade and a pie throwing contest (8:47). The Sunflower Queen has a delicate crown placed atop her head (8:55). A young couple riding a motorbike down one of Manitoba’s highways (9:25) takes the film to the Holiday Festival of Arts in Neepawa. Visitors to the event enjoy drama plays, music, dancing as well as art instruction classes (9:41). A folky tune buzzes from a band at the event while a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/42862ca9-7898-4c16-849d-151b42d7ae4a/c805fd30-1e78-48bd-bc96-bce9f854f076-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9dsbZXDba1ASHdcqnH4yt5</video:player_loc><video:duration>1637</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T05:25:49.254Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9765aSWizLe2VdnsgYBgdT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a07d64e4-4d3c-4d26-92de-fc2ed292de41.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. AIR FORCE SUSTAINED OPERATIONS   LONG RANGE LOGISTICAL SUPPORT FOR B-29 SUPERFORTRESS  84414</video:title><video:description>This 1947 film "Sustained Operations" was originally classified Restricted (:07), indicating it was only to be used internally at the U.S. Air Force. The film may be one of the very earliest released by the Air Force, which split from the Army in September, 1947. The film looks at new military concepts and specifically the logistics needed to support worldwide strategic forces, including B-29s which, at the time, were the only aircraft capable of delivering atomic bombs to targets. The film begins with footage of a teletype sending an order that sends B-19 bombers west, to deploy as a part of overseas forces (1:25). After the WWII’s end, the Air Force remained prepared and alert for future emergencies which included maintaining human performance as well as supplies of mechanical equipment (1:51). They knew in order to keep 30 planes in flight, one million gallons of gasoline would be necessary (1:58). The idea was to keep all planes in the air and to able to change destination at any time necessary without losing too much time or ground. In order to ensure immediate operational preparedness for B-29s, spare parts and emergency equipment totaling about 54 tons is carried with each Air Group (2:09). In addition to planes and their equipment, long range logistic support in the form of tanks and oilers are necessary (2:16) as well as the ground forces (2:26) and lines of supplies (2:35). The Air Group previously shown is heading to Kadena Air Force base in Okinawa (2:41) and this was the site of the last battle of WW2. The Wing Commander collects the Air Group and begins speaking at (3:32) to inform the men they are at Okinawa to be a part of the striking force for the Eastern Air Force (3:32) as well as to collect data on all supplies and air craft parts needed. Combat footage follows (4:14) and not only is flak and gunfire an enemy in the air, so is lack of supply during missions (4:29). A wide shot of a B-29 plane graveyard or boneyard is shown to demonstrate that...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/41a2b293-fbe4-42f7-8ad9-a83063b3f45f/a90e8897-fccb-49a0-a867-f4ec0c586c6e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9765aSWizLe2VdnsgYBgdT</video:player_loc><video:duration>603</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T05:25:52.696Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cMTKHbkaEK7ZPRrnH294HM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4ee0b2d4-9595-41e0-836b-436873a71e6d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1976 COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY FILM  "COMPUTERS AND TRANSPORTATION"   91764</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old film Visit https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

‘Computers and Transportation’ (possibly also released as Computers: Challenging Man's Supremacy") is a future-looking, 1976 short educational film which  analyze the rapid technological advances in computer systems, and then examines the potential impact on transportation, animation and graphics as well as space travel and artificial intelligence. It begins with the look inside of a ‘modern’ electronic digital computer (:34). The guts are composed of 50,000 transistors, 125,000 resistors and 500,000 connectors which were all connected by 20 miles of wire. A magnetic tape for storing data was filled by either magnetic disk or laser memory systems (:53). IBM computer chips (1:05). Prescient predictions about computers infiltrating human lives in such a way that they will affect where we travel, what we buy and where we go to eat (1:14). Saturn V rocket launch. Computers enabled the beginning of space research and exploration (1:49). The film then takes a look at the artificial intelligence robot named “Shakey”. This was the first general purpose robot that could think about its own actions. It was created in 1966 by the SRI Institute in the Stanford Research Institute of California. Viewers are given a shot of a view from the world as seen by “Shakey” (4:30). His task (4:45) is to push a cardboard box off a platform (5:17). Arthur C. Clarke (5:28), the prominent science writer, discusses the future of computers and artificial intelligence  (5:28). Clarke is known for co-writing the screenplay for the film “2001 A Space Odyssey”. An inside look at an automated factory shows robots performing mechanized tasks (6:16). Clarke appears again (7:01) to recall how the predictions for other technological advances, such as the automobile fell short (they were believed to only be used in cities and would not find use in the countrysi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5f7ce3a3-5d73-4d6d-931b-738d08f8ea93/aa7aceca-f972-4a16-94b1-13aefd10f2d4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cMTKHbkaEK7ZPRrnH294HM</video:player_loc><video:duration>1300</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T05:26:59.377Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uz6V73ijHyMh55aKdCUb3C</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/16e05aa1-9e83-473c-bed8-e91d497216d6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE &amp; VIEWS OF MANHATTAN  NEW YORK  1939 HOME MOVIE (SILENT)  XD49554</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

NOTE: Parade footage starts at 5:04.

Believed to date to 1939, this silent home movie shows views of Manhattan and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, as seen by the cameraman from his (or her) fifth-or-sixth story vantage point. The line-up for the parade that year included many floats, some of which you will see here. 

At 00:00 are views of Manhattan from across the Hudson River. At 1:08 is what appears to be the Upper West Side, with Central Park visible. At 1:33, the Chrysler Building (left) and Empire State Building (right) loom in the distant skyline. At 2:20 is a shot of the Washington Square Arch and at 2:35, busy New York traffic as seen from above. Pedestrians seem to be lined up along the sidewalks, and some open-air luxury cars are visible, indicating that perhaps dignitaries are present and that this is some prelude to the Thanksgiving Day Parade. At 3:40 is a brief shot of airplanes flying in formation followed by a shot of the sunset at 4:40. 

At 5:04 is footage of the Thanksgiving Day Parade, again we believe 1939 (but could be 1938). The first balloon appears to be a Colonial, perhaps George Washington or Father Knickerbocker. At 5:29, a horse drawn trolley car or Toonerville Trolley is visible, with a more modern counterpart on the rails next to it. At 5:44, a Gulliver's Travels balloon makes its way down the street. A Gulliver balloon debuted in 1933. However, in 1939, the Fleischer Studios released a feature-length animated Gulliver cartoon, and this balloon seems to possibly be a promotional for that film. Many of the other balloons seen in the film also seem to have a connection to the Max Fleischer animation style. At 5:50, an American Indian balloon, at 6:17 a turkey balloon, and at 6:25 a sensational dragon ballon is visible. At 6:40 a policeman balloon -- known as the Officer SOS 13 -- and a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e75f128f-6694-4ce0-8e94-fe2ae656ed20/7b1a6bcd-6564-4793-a662-5794d499f8e3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uz6V73ijHyMh55aKdCUb3C</video:player_loc><video:duration>543</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T05:27:02.187Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/28UFSg4JYXNBPhVxZqPLiB</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a96f5f4e-c0e9-4fb4-9b47-389b4015ff4a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1951 NEWS PARADE     ROYALS VISIT USA   CHURCHILL WINS  IRAN NATIONALIZES OIL   (SILENT) XD14324</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This 1960s color film about Fiji and New Caledonia is one of a series of Pan Am "New Horizons" travelogues. The film opens with a cabin cruiser boat headed toward New Caledonia. The passengers are in bathing suits (:23-:39). A man drives off the boat and comes up with two lobsters (:39-:58). The boat lands, and the passengers get off for a picnic on the beach. The lobsters are cooked on a grill and a large basket of food is opened and served (1:00-2:50). Noumea is the capital of New Caledonia (3:00). People in 1960s fashions walk by stores. Window shopping includes clothes and French perfumes (3:13-3:30). Fiji was still a British outpost when the film was made; it became independent on October 10, 1970. The changing of the guard, whose uniforms include skirts, at Government House is shown (3:47-4:10). A native club dance is shown (4:13-5:08). The traffic policeman wears a skirt or kilt (5:09). Duty-free shops include a window full of 1960s cameras, transistors, and video equipment, including Canon and Pentax SLRs (5:35). Rainbow Reef is popular for its coral reefs, seen through the a glass-bottom boat (5:41-5:59). Divers bring up various coral from which the guide shakes out small fish, a banded sea snake, and a turtle (6:00-7:35).  A woman in a bikini walks onto Castaways Island and sits in the sand (7:45). A man blows a conch horn to signify the start of a picnic meal (8:18-8:40). 

This passage takes you on a vivid journey through the tropical islands of the Pacific, starting with New Caledonia and moving to Fiji. It highlights the serene beauty of white sandy beaches, lush coral reefs, and abundant seafood that create an idyllic paradise reminiscent of Mediterranean charm. The islands’ volcanic origins contrast with their peaceful present, while local culture—from French colonial history to vibrant Fijian dances—add...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5a391c00-7c2f-4940-a946-86e2b94f1d4e/22155140-0343-45db-abb2-e52e59a9d579-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/c9bLmkXgneRJx1BN8ACAD5</video:player_loc><video:duration>552</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T05:28:40.606Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/emk4aSgAfACesaceKXFdM7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ac361beb-0c1b-4b9c-8194-356c1767f156.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1933 AMERICAN AIRLINES PROMO FILM " STORY OF MODERN AIRLINE TRANSPORTATION "  CURTISS CONDOR 19434</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This black &amp; white film was used to promote American Airways, which was renamed American Airlines in 1934. The film begins with a brief prelude that was likely made in the 1950s, the bulk of the production (after the first :30) is 1934 (or 1933). Opening title: FLY AMERICAN!, The Movement of Man, Mail, and Merchandise Through the Skies (:06-:49). An biplane passenger plane the Curtiss T-32 Condor II is shown flying through the sky. A man visits an American Airways ticket office, probably in New York City. There are many alternatives to purchasing tickets: through a hotel porter, Western Union, the Post Office, over the telephone, with an American Airways limousine driver, and with travel agents. When you are ready for your flight, you will be picked up by an American Airways limousine and taken to the airport (:50-2:24). The airport, it's bustling with planes, cabs, limos (include Cord automobiles -- as Cord was involved with American Airways in this era), and many people. You might see a Hollywood Actress who travels as well as other types of interesting people. It takes an organization to make an airline - it takes ten men to keep one man in the air.Planes fly from Canada to Mexico (with the United States in between), sixty-five major cities - day and night in all kinds of weather (2:25-4:09). (3:25) suitcase with many decals shown. Montreal and Brownsville, TX (the gateway to Mexico) are possible destinations. Downtown Montreal. A cowboy holds a sheep. City of Boston and Boston Harbor. You can fly from Boston to Los Angeles in little more than a day. Los Angeles is featured. On your way back, stop in Phoenix and then go from Chicago to Atlanta and Florida.

“Successful Secretary” is a film presented by Royal Office Typewriters (:22). Royal, aka Royal Litton, was one of the most popular producers of the typewriter. Founded in 1904 by Edward B Hess, by the year 1957 the company announced it had produced its 10 millionth typewriter. This film is from the sixties and is centered on the Royal 660 which is a 1966 model designed specifically to compete with IBM's Selectric. It was lower priced than the Selectric, but apparently less durable and required more frequent service. The 660 was the first in the 6xx series and has a similar aesthetic design to Royal's 5xx series. It appears to be an advertisement for female secretaries to purchase this model, with the typewriter playing the narrator (:33). The film is unabashedly, wonderfully sexist. It opens with the knowledge that in the mid-sixties, the business world was rapidly changing and that led to secretaries needing to be more efficient (:47). Flying became cheaper and more and more often, executives were flying away from the office putting more work on the secretary (1:04). The Royal 660 goes through tips and tricks to help make their jobs easier for example, the first woman is struggling over making team reports (2:20). This typewriter’s scales were all set up to go in the same direction which made setting of tabs and margins easier (2:48).

Released by Castle Films for the home market as part of the "Music Album" series of 16mm films, this short "Hawaiian Rhythm" presents Hawaiian music beginning with "Aloha Oe". It dates to 1949, and can be considered a "Soundie" -- a 1940s music video. These films were released not only for private use on personal projectors, but some of them were made to be used in a 16mm film jukebox called a Panoram or its more modern equivalent, a Scopitone. In this case,  music was performed by Matty Malneck and his Orchestra as part of the soundtrack to the Universal film "Hawaiian Nights", a 1939 American romantic comedy film directed by Albert S. Rogell. Matthew Michael "Matty" Malneck (1903 – 1981) was an American jazz violinist, songwriter, and arranger whose big band recorded for Brunswick, Columbia, and Decca. Malneck's group also played in the film St. Louis Blues (1939) and You're in the Army Now (1941).

The film starts with shots of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, including shots of surfing and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. At :44, "My Lonelineness Has Ended" is sung by Constance Moore, an American singer and actress who had signed with Universal. The segment shows a luau in progress, and includes a rhythm performance starting at about 2:40 and a hula dance at 3:30. At 4:09, "Hawaii Sang Me to Sleep" is performed with a slide guitar and many "Hawaiian maidens" performing an elaborate dance number which has a tap dancing finale.   At 7:01, more "Aloha Oe" and shots are shown of Waikiki once again, surfing, and catamarans, with the ship SS Lurline in the background as we say goodbye to Hawaii.

"To Mount Lowe with Love" presents a history of the Mt. Lowe Railroad. It was produced by  Philip Callahan's Galway Productions. Callahan was an amateur historian who presented slide shows about Mt. Lowe. They proved to be so impressive that Southern California Edison funded a film version as a public service. As the documentary shows, at the turn of the 20th Century a "railroad to the stars" ran from Pasadena to Mt. Wilson by way of Pacific Electric Red Car, incline cable car / funicular, and electric trolley. Today, this engineering wonder is gone, although traces still exist in the San Gabriels. The film consists primarily of black and white motion pictures and (color tinted) stills. Narrated by Lynn Adkins. 

Still Images of train tracks and stations flash across the screen, and a steep funicular designed by David J Macpherson, a civil engineer graduate from Cornell University. The railway was originally incorporated by Professor Thaddeus S. C. Lowe, as the Pasadena &amp; Mt. Wilson Railroad Co.  Macpherson was Lowe's engineer and partner. Incorporated June 2, 1891.

Dating to July of 1971, this silent film shows rocket sled tests of Douglas ESCAPAC escape systems for the S-3A Viking at China Lake Naval Weapons Center. Viking was a 4-crew, twin-engine turbofan-powered jet aircraft that was used by the U.S. Navy (USN) primarily for anti-submarine warfare, as well as surface warfare and aerial refueling, electronic warfare and surface surveillance capabilities to carrier battle groups. A subsonic, all-weather, long-range, multi-mission aircraft, it served with the fleet until 2009.

The film begins with a slate indicating that the footage was shot at 400 frames per second (roughly 16x normal speed) from camera 5123. Other slates show other external camera positions. At 3:35/3:37/3:47, you can clearly see the flames from the ROCAT and STAPAC vernier rocket motor systems cease and the SMS rocket on the top of the seat fire. Starting at 4:30 are shots from onboard cameras.  At 11:47, you can see the tray retract thruster operating in the left rear compartment, prior to ejection. At 13:21 a single shot shows seats punching through the canopy. The extended canopy breaker on the Escapac is clearly visible. (Special thanks to Kevin Coyne and http://www.ejectionsite.com/ for some of this information). 

The SA-3 Viking was equipped with forward-facing, upward-firing Douglas Escapac zero-zero ejection seats. In "group eject" mode, initiating ejection from either of the front seat ejects the entire crew in sequence, with the back seats ejecting 0.5 seconds before the front in order to provide safe separation. The aircraft's rear seats were capable of self ejection and the ejection sequence included a pyrotechnic charge that stowed the rear keyboard trays out of the way immediately before ejection. Safe ejection required the seats to be weighted in pairs and whe...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0c8ba346-e954-43b0-ba06-00c30e71099b/263e2cd0-d1d4-4c01-b58f-68db4d751597-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2xRp45BRzTDRjYmaQsCm6H</video:player_loc><video:duration>853</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T05:46:25.965Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8GfvJMJif1AdUAJQX5r7jq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/83bc508b-3a93-4959-a7dc-e5dfab9ebf6d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1968 US NAVY RECRUITING FILM “THE SEA IS A SPECIAL PLACE”  USS FORRESTAL ATLANTIC FLEET  62954</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This 1966 U.S. Navy recruiting film shows the responsibilities of command and the demands -- as well as rewards -- for those who operate the Navy's modern, complex machinery. The film opens with a sailor peering through binoculars aboard a cruiser (:22). Sailors are seen donning life vests aboard a 26-foot motor whaleboat constructed of plastic (:50). The craft is seen hanging over the side and being lowered steadily down into the water (1:32). Sailors chip at paint on the ship’s surface (2:04) and the ship’s long-range guns are exercised (2:10) as they are cleaned and inspected (2:30). Inspections continue  (2:38). The bridge (3:19). The camera follows a ladder upwards to the Commander at the Captain’s bridge (3:56). The ship’s radar system (4:44) is shown. A close up shot of a magazine provides a Cold War headline: “Soviets may unveil advances in ICBMS” (5:19). The crew is piped awake with a whistle (5:52). After preparing themselves for the day, they are seen unloading supplies down a conveyor belt (6:23). A map showing that nearly 70% of the globe is covered in water (7:06) leads to a scuba diver (7:13) with a shark nearby (7:15). Coral reefs are filmed (7:40) as oceanographers work to evaluate the sea and sea floors (7:47). A rock specimen is pulled from the sea floor as mineralogists and biologists also take part in the effort of understanding our oceans better (7:50). Sonar tracking systems allow operators to take in the sea’s character (8:56). In order to steer the ship, one must take into account the weather as well as the winds and currents (6:11). The aircraft carrier USS Forrestal CV-59 (10:16) and a submarine follow (10:21). At 10:43 a Soviet ship #452, a Kresta II-class cruiser, is shown. Aboard the Forrestal, a sailor uses a signal lamp in morse code (10:50).

Made in the 1950s, this U.S. Navy produced documentary is about the history of "lighter than air" flight in the 19th Century. It opens with Thaddeus Lowe, the father of U.S. military aerial reconnaissance. During the Civil War, Lowe staged a balloon ascent near the Smithsonian Institute in Washington (:16) and convinced US leaders of aerial observations’ advantages (:22). Lowe organized a Union Balloon Corps (:51). James Allen (1:51) serving for the Northern Army, first ascended on June 9th, 1861 in Washington (2:11). John Wise (2:21) is shown as well as his self-designed balloon on July 16th, 1861 (2:47). The first military balloon, it included armor plate in the bottom of the basket (3:04). Balloons are towed by troops (3:28) on a mission to travel across the Potomac. The balloons were destroyed by accidental collision with trees (3:31). Three days later, Chief Aeronaut Lowe made his first military ascent (3:54) in the "Enterprise" (3:59). He rose 3 and ½ miles without tethering lines (4:10) and watched Confederate troop movements without taking fire. As he attempted to land, Northern troops mistakenly fired at him, forcing him to land behind enemy lines (4:32). His wife spotted his balloon and rescued him (4:56). In Fort Monroe, Virginia, Northern troops were surrounded by Confederates (5:12). At the request of General Benjamin Butler, balloonist John LaMountain made several ascents and observed Confederate operations (5:36). On August 3rd, 1861, LaMountain’s balloon launched from the steam tug Fanny (5:57) at Hampton Roads, Virginia (6:02). This demonstrated the compatibility between air ship and sea vessel (6:22). One issue was keeping balloons inflated (7:06). Secretary Henry of the Smithsonian recommended using portable hydro-gas generators (7:38).

Shot in August, 1940 -- less than two months after the French government surrendered to Germany -- this incredible home movie (?) shows some of the German staff in Occupied Paris. It's not precisely clear who shot this film or for what purpose, although almost certainly the original cinematographer was German. The fact that it has title cards in English, German and French however, suggests that the film may have been "liberated" after the war. The film starts at :22 with shots of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées with very little traffic, one suspects the city at that time was still under a lockdown. At :29 the exterior of the residence section of the Carlton Hotel is visible, with a sign hanging from the garage entrance ("NS-Gemeinschaft Kraft durch Freude, Künstlerheim ") indicating it is now a German headquarters. Indeed, during the summer of 1940, the Luftwaffe set up their headquarters at the Ritz, with their chief Hermann Göring in residence. The Brasserie Hungaria is also visible. At :38, a closer shot of the sign is shown, it apparently translates to "Nazi community, strength through joy." The word "Künstlerheim" literally means "artist home".  

At :40, German soldiers stand by outside the Claridge Restaurant, also on the Champs-Élysées. At :56 after a title card says "We stand in line" is a shot of Rue Galilee sign, followed by a crowd of people. At 1:21, two women in what appear to be German uniforms speak to two men. Various shots of traffic and pedestrians near the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile follow, with a title card noting this is the French shrine to the unknown soldier. At 2:45, the changing of the guard is shown and the Germans proceed to march. The card at 3:31 literally means "the gating" and refers to the temporary subordination of one or more soldiers during guard duty to a guard superior.

This is an episode of the television program ‘Industry on Parade’ which ran from the 1950’s to the 1960’s. It was produced by the National Manufacturers Association (:16) and opens with the super shovel (:34). A large power shovel lifts topsoil from a city lot (:44). It stands over eight stories high (:49) with a dipper that carried 45 cubic yards of materials. It is pictured at the Hanna Coal Company in eastern Ohio (:56). It was manufactured by the Marion Power Shovel Company in Marion, Ohio (1:10). Electric shovels are assembled on the erection floor (2:20). The innovation of automatic washing machines and detergents removed the need for American’s to hand scrub their clothes (4:17). The Hi-lex company plant of St. Paul and of Denver (4:33) created detergents and bleaches. Hi-lex bottles are seen moving around a conveyor belt (4:54). Stronger detergents and bleaches were necessary with the introduction of synthetic fabrics such as nylon (5:26). Staff chemists worked on a powdered bleach for this purpose (8:32). A petroleum loading platform tank which had overflowed and caught fire (6:31) is seen being put out by firemen (6:39). Fires were intentionally set in the fireman’s training ground in Portland, Oregon to help educate the firefighters and industrial workers on fighting oil fires (6:50). The training ground was built by Oregon Petroleum Industries Committee (7:09). Margaret Rudkin and the beginnings of Pepperidge Farm’s are to be shown (10:10). This company got its start as a small business with Margaret making bread for families and friends and this rapidly expanded as large trucks are seen hauling flour to her Pepperidge Farm Bakery in Norwalk, Connecticut (10:30). Ingredients are incorporated (10:49), the dough is placed on the missing hook (11:38), and fresh loaves emerge fr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3bc48ea5-1164-47d6-9cfd-6fdbae2a91ce/faae8b70-bbcc-444a-8261-b2f2c414d6ef-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8o4Bh4z33nVQ5RcXPGvQpQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>2478</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T05:56:40.352Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tqwowuyko4SuYbUH1RzkG9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/381d5f28-7ace-40bd-a11a-0fd13006cce3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s NASA FILM  " EXPLORATION OF THE PLANETS "   VIKING, PIONEER, MARINER MISSIONS PROBES  19174</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

“Exploration of the Planets” will take a look at the initiative by NASA in the 1970’s to explore the planets of our solar system. In 1970, President Nixon announced new objectives of the space program (1:42). The planet Mercury (2:23) is too close to the sun to be viewed through a telescope and is seen as a black sphere against it. Venus, also difficult to be viewed from telescope, has dense cloud coverage (2:41) and an image of what the surface might appear to be is shown (2:36). The Mariner spacecraft enabled photographs of Mars’ surface (3:04). Jupiter is the largest and densest of all the planets (3:19). The second largest is Saturn with its many rings (3:35). Uranus exists about 2 billion miles from Earth (2:50) in the outer parts of the solar system. No features of Neptune had been seen or documented yet (4:06) and Pluto was expected to be a snow-covered rock (4:18). All the major planets align in such a way that multi-planet travel would be possible every 175 years (4:29) and this opportunity approached in 70’s (4:55). In 1965, the Mariner 4 flew by Mars (5:07) and photographs retrieved from later Mariner missions show its 2,000 miles of craters (5:22). The Mars scape called ‘chaotic terrain’ is depicted (5:56). The early Mariner missions were only able to fly within several thousand miles of the surface (6:23). The Mariner 9 Orbiter (6:43) and Viking landing missions were able to remain in Mars’ orbit for a minimum of three months (6:51). TV cameras photographed about 80% of the planet's surface (7:21). Photos from Mariner 9 (8:18). This information was used for the 1975 Viking lander mission (8:26). As mankind was beginning to search for extraterrestrial life, Mars was the target because of its similar composition to Earth (8:46). Viking landers were to deliver life detecting equipment to the surface (8:56). The Vikings were double space crafts with ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/de135261-8cbf-4f1a-973d-8e5808638e3c/670b3b17-d8af-4fce-93e2-2091669774f4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tqwowuyko4SuYbUH1RzkG9</video:player_loc><video:duration>1505</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T06:00:12.801Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fH8qkBJYKfPpa2CKrjExPh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9879c4fc-c899-47de-822b-87017227481d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. ARMY AIR FORCES  " TESTCRAFT "  WWII AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION QUIZ FILM  XD30254</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

One of a series of Army Air Force "Testcraft" films made by the First Motion Picture Unit to educate pilots, bomber crew gunners, and anti-aircraft gun crews, this animated movie presents a quiz showing Japanese and American aircraft. We don't have the key, but for example plane #1 appears to be a U.S. Navy F6F Hellcat, plane #2 a Bird Dog artillery spotting plane, and #3 either an AAF B-25 Mitchell bomber or possibly a Japanese "Betty". Films such as these were critical in preventing friendly fire incidents. Perhaps the most famous WWII film about the perils of friend or foe ID and friendly fire is "Recognition of the Japanese Zero" which you can find elsewhere on our channel at https://youtu.be/_AxtvNNz8Is

The film opens with a note instructing educators how to use the film and notifying them it was to come with an answer key either at the beginning of the film or the end (answer key is not included). Numbers appear just prior to a brief glimpse at the 30 aircraft (:36) and viewers were to write down their answers for the instructors to go over after. The first plane pictured is the F6F Hellcat fighter (1:29). A Curtiss manufactured aircraft is seen at (2:08) which may be the Curtiss P-60 judging by the shape of it’s nose. Another Curtiss manufactured plane is seen at (3:09) which is most likely the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk or the Curtiss SBC2 Helldiver, again judging by its nose shape and flat wings. The de Havilland DH-98 Mosquito appears at (3:20). The Boeing manufactured B-29 Superfortress is seen at (7:04). This is a four-engine propeller driven heavy bomber. These were the only aircrafts to have used nuclear weaponry in combat and later would drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Lockheed Ventura is pictured at (7:29) which had first entered combat in the Pacific theater in 1943.

In November and December of 1964, a series of successful static firing tests on the engines were completed (:40). Extensive development tests were in progress (1:02). The government / industry team had grown to 30,000 (1:17). Development testing for the Gemini program was nearly complete (1:22) as well as the Apollo Saturn 1 (1:29). The design for Saturn V was almost complete and sub-system development testing  progressing (1:40). Apollo’s flight crew equipment inspected (1:50). The first close up shots of the Moon’s surface (2:03). NASA hq in Washington, DC (2:19). Three facilities participated; the Manned Space Craft Center in Houston, Texas, the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama (2:26), and the Kennedy Space Center in Florida (2:28). A slew of contractors across the nation -- Bethpage, New York (2:39) New Orleans, Louisiana (2:43) Sarasota, Florida (2:46) and Mesa, Arizona (2:55). The 20,000 contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers are shown as dots on a map (2:58). The Gemini program for long duration flight, rendezvous, and docking techniques had almost completed development testing (3:24). Two unmanned launches were completed (3:41) although the second was delayed due to a malfunction. It was then able to launch from the Air Force’s Eastern Test Range on January 19th, 1965 (4:03). The parachute for landing is viewed from inside the spacecraft as it reaches splash down point (4:24). The Gemini was now ready for manned space flights (4:34).

This historic film from 1965 documents the world’s first rendezvous of two spacecraft in space -- the Gemini VI-A and VII missions (unofficially Gemini 6A and 7). This version of the film opens with an intro by Ohio Congressman Samuel L. Devine (:13), who apparently was using his affiliation with NASA to promote his re-election to office. In 1965, the Gemini team traveled over 11 million miles in space and completed 650 hours in space (:48). These trips made the manned missions to the moon possible (1:12). Ed White of Gemini IV made history when he opened the hatch and entered space for the first time (1:17). Gemini VI and VII proved an orbital rendezvous was possible on December 15th, 1965 (1:28).

This is a 1972 color film by Cullen Productions, sponsored by the Lead Industries Association, about the element Lead (Pb) and its many uses. It was likely produced as a p.r. effort at a time when the element was under assault in the media, and was about to be phased out of gasoline.

This color, amateur made, silent film shows what appears to be a performance -- put on for Western tourists -- that may shows some of the rituals affiliated with the Tamil Festival of Thaipusam. These include mortification of the flesh by piercing the skin, tongue or cheeks with skewers, or piercings tongues or cheeks, all the way through, with a small spear. It's not exactly clear where the film was shot or if it indeed shows Thaipusam rituals however, as the title of the film "Mystery of the Khalifa" appears non-sensical. The film likely dates to the late 1960s/early 1970s. 

Thaipusam or Thaipoosam is a festival celebrated by the Tamil community on the full moon in the Tamil month of Thai (January/February), usually coinciding with Pushya star, known as Poosam in Tamil. The festival is also observed among Keralites and is vernacularly called Thaipooyam. It is mainly observed in countries where there is a significant presence of Tamil community such as India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Mauritius, Singapore, South Africa, Canada and other places where ethnic Tamils reside as a part of the local Indian diaspora population such as Réunion, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, Jamaica and the other parts of the Caribbean.

Title: Mystery Of The Khalifa (:08-:12). Men set up a display in what might be the yard of a hotel. Performers  in costume start to play instruments. A display houses swords. The men sit in the sun and play bongos. A man dances as others play drums and tambourines. A child dances as another part of the group appears bored. A small arrow is pierced through the skin of a man in two different spots. He stands with the piercing in his face. When one piercing remains, the second is attached (:13-3:40).

It shows a small local festival in a fishing village, with people carrying a mikoshi. We tried  unfortunately can't be identified, as it only bears generic Japanese characters for "local shinto shrine festival". This film probably dates to closer to 1950 as there are only a few reminders of the past war – for example only one burned out building is visible in the village center, and only a couple of fishermen are wearing discarded Imperial Japanese Army clothing. Many other adults are otherwise wearing nice clothes and shoes, which was not commonplace immediately after the surrender.

This extremely rare silent film shows the 1927 Dole Air Race from Oakland, California to Honolulu Hawaii.  The race was one of the most tragic episodes in aviation history, costing ten human lives and destroying six aircraft.  More on this below:The Dole Air Race, also known as the Dole Derby, was a tragic air race across the Pacific Ocean from northern California to the Territory of Hawaii in August 1927. Of the 15-18 airplanes entered, eleven were certified to compete but three crashed before the race, resulting in three deaths. Eight eventually participated in the race, with two crashing on takeoff and two going missing during the race. A third, forced to return for repairs, took off again to search for the missing and was itself never seen again. In all, before, during, and after the race, ten lives were lost and six airplanes were total losses. Two of the eight planes successfully landed in Hawaii.

Inspired by Charles A. Lindbergh's successful trans-Atlantic flight, James D. Dole, the Hawaii pineapple magnate, put up a prize of US$25,000 for the first fixed-wing aircraft to fly the 3,870 kilometers (2,400 mi) from Oakland, California to Honolulu, Hawaii, and US$10,000 for second place. 

The race began on 16 August 1927. The fifteen competitors were seen off by a crowd estimated to include 75,000 to 100,000 persons.The starting line-up included: Pabco Flyer, a Breese-Wilde Monoplane, NX646, flown alone by Livingston Gilson Irving. Woolaroc, one of two modified Travel Air 5000 aircraft, NX869, flown by Arthur C.

This is the first part of the three-part documentary about People's Republic of China, filmed in 1967 by Swedish filmmaker Bo Gaertze, and released by a number of companies (this is a German version released by the FWU). This movie features the Inner Mongolia and Shanxi province and Northern China. It depicts China, as it was - one year into the Cultural Revolution. It provides a look at the lives of the children and teens, who would become what is dubbed in today's China by the Chinese Gen-X and by the Chinese Greatest Generation - "the Lost Generation", "the Sacrificed Generation" or, less kindly - "the troubled olds". They suffered the consequences of the Cultural Revolution which saw the removal of the teachers who were supposed to help industrialize and modernize China.

It's unclear where the flight originated, possibly somewhere in the Southern USA aboard a TWA aircraft (see below for notes about this plane NC28310).  The rest of the film seems to show American Airlines DC-3 Flagships. There are several stops shown in this film, including in Washington, D.C. and New York City. At :50, the shadow of the plane is seen as it travels at fairly low altitude.  The airport seen at 2:21 and 3:04 appears to be Washington National, in Washington, D.C. which was newly built at the time this was shot.  At 3:01 what appears to be a United Airlines livery is shown. At 4:22 the island of Manhattan is seen from the window, and at 4:29 a massive freeway interchange.  At 4:45, the terminal of LaGuardia Airport in New York is visible. 

Interesting note: at :43, the tail number of the DC-3 is briefly seen: NC28310. This aircraft first flew for TWA in 1940. Tragically, an on-line record of the plane indicates it crashed in 1944 with a loss of 24 persons near Hanford, California, while flying through a thunderstorm.

Designed to meet an American Airlines requirement for an enlarged version of the DC-2, the DC-3 was first flown on December 17th, 1935. Capable of carrying 24 passengers at a cruising speed of 180 mph, the DC-3's speed and long range revolutionized commercial air travel in the 1930s and 40s, when it carried 90 percent of the world's air travelers. Early DC-3s used Wright R-1820 Cyclone engines, but Pratt &amp; Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp Radials were fitted to later versions; these engines had better single engine performance and allowed the DC-3 to fly at higher altitudes.

This film is of the documentary series “True Adventure” which ran from the 1950’s to the 1960’s and was created by Bill Burrud who also served as host (:19). This episode takes viewers to Guadalcanal, a major battleground during WW2, with Milas Hinshaw and Martin Clemens (1:26). Clemens was a District Officer on Guadalcanal of the British Solomon Islands protectorate in 1941 when Japan invaded (1:57). Unlike most who fled, Clemens and others like him chose to remain on the island with the natives and form a unit known as the Coast Watchers (2:12). Due to their actions, information was able to be relayed back to the Allies of Japanese ship and troop movements as well as their rebuilding activities on the islands (2:20). They informed the Allies of the construction of Henderson Field in Guadalcanal. That in turn led commanders to focus on attacking Guadalcanal (2:40). This will be Clemens’ first time back since the war had ended two decades prior (2:54). From their plane, the Solomon Islands are spotted below (3:11). Combat footage follows as WW2 had made these islands infamous (3:35). The plane flies over Guadalcanal (4:01) and they land onto Henderson Field (4:05). Save for the remaining rusted debris of the war (4:31), the island is pictured as peaceful. The high commissioner of the Solomon Islands, Sir David Trench, had allowed the pair to use his ship the ‘Coral Queen’ pictured at (5:27). They are seen leaving from Point Cruise and heading along the coastline. Along the way, they pass Savo Island which was the scene of the Battle of Iron Bottom Bay (5:38) as well as Cape Esperance where the second Battle of Savo Island took place (5:54). Aboard the ship with them are the Gilbertese natives and their native music is heard (6:01) as they head towards Gizo.

It provides footage of local natives as well as scenery around the area. It opens with tribe members donning kanzus; traditionally worn by natives in the African Great Lakes, as an armed guard stands near by (:10). The procession heads to a flattened area in the grass for worship (:39). A woman’s towering headdress is pointed to (2:45). The native kraal sits in the background as natives beat on drums in the foreground (3:03). Two babies are seen crying in the typical red and green koifa also traditionally worn by natives of eastern Africa (3:17). Though they were traditionally worn by men, a red koifa is seen atop one of the female drummers’ head (3:22). Aluminum containers are pushed and loaded up into a truck bed (3:46). A large cart loaded with bags of goods is rolled forward by hand (4:13). Two Caucasian children, presumably belonging to the Christian missionaries, run forward with native children (4:45). One of the young natives is seen limping with their foot pushed forward (5:06). An elderly man sits on the ground and unwraps his clothing to reveal a large pink scarred tissue running down the side of his neck (6:13). An older Caucasian woman in a pink dress doles out water (6:19). Youth sit on the dirt with exposed wounds around their ankles which appear to be from shackles attached to their feet (6:45). The woman then adds some sort of medical powder to their wounds (6:51). The missionaries move their vehicle over a waterway aboard a small ferry (7:22). One of the missionaries performs a baptism (7:53) ducking one of the men back into the water. Natives are seen pushing long narrow boats through the waters (8:32).

Dating to the late early 1980s, "Clouds" is a lyrical ad for the U.S. Air Force ROTC program. The film begins with POV images of clouds at altitude, as a single engine Cessna 150K type airplane ascends towards the sunrise. At 4:05, the plane (tail N5729G) comes in for a landing. At 4:25, rain effects are shown and a member of Air Force ROTC begins flight instruction at ground school.  A quick montage follows of male and female students in the classroom and college campus, with intermittent shots of rain. At 6:20, a model jet fighter aircraft is seen on the desk as a student studies. At 6:50, a sunny day at last, the student pilot goes back out on the runway for another flight. A ground check is performed at 7:30, and the student pilot checks the Cessna thoroughly before taking off at 8:20 and flying over the Pacific Ocean.

This short film will take a look at Chevrolet’s 1975 Nova, Monza 2+2 and Vega. It is filmed in commercial style to inform viewers of their updated models. All Chevrolets had new catalytic converters to meet fuel emission standards set by the 1970 Clean Air Act. Nova (:04) was manufactured from 1962 to 1979 and 1985 to 1988 model years. It was initially named the Chevy II until 1968. These came in three different body styles, Nova Coupe (:26), Nova Hatchback (:28) and Nova four door sedan (:31). A new addition was the Chevy Nova LN (Luxury Nova), which was more Eurocentric and pushed the model into the luxury portion of the compact market (:45). Each included standard steel-belted GM specification radial ply tires (:55). Other features included a new front suspension system (1:01), fade resistant front disk brakes (1:05) a 21-gallon fuel tank, special exterior appointments, and sound insulation which kept road noise down (1:19).

This short newsreel shows the U.S. Navy varsity crew team on the Hudson River defeating eight other teams to win the college championship race. At :53 is a shot of people watching the race on a moving New Haven Railroad train, which was a common aspect of the races in this era. The race took place at Poughkeepsie, New York. It's unclear which year this film shows, possibly 1938 or more likely 1931. (Other footage on the internet from 1938 seems to show a large warship present in the river which does not appear in this footage.)

This film, from the Jack Douglas TV series called “Across the 7 Seas”, presents the journey of sixteen men down the rapids of the Rio Grijalva in Mexico. The trip was headed by Jack Curry of Western River Expeditions of Salt Lake City, Utah, a pioneer in the raft trip industry. This would be the first traverse of the dangerous white-water rapids of the Rio Grijalva. The story is narrated by cameraman Bob Moran (:09). It took the men eleven days to cross the seventeen mile stretch of rapids (:32).  The group first heads to Chiapas, Mexico (1:30) and the capital Tuxtla. The expedition arrives in the Tuxtla Gutierrez Airport and Jack is seen as the first men stepping from the plane (1:34). A marimba bands greets them (1:49). The objective for the following day was to conduct aerial reconnaissance of the river as they climb into a small plane (2:02). The Rio Grijalva cuts through the Sumidero Canyon (2:15). While the river’s length is 298 miles and most of it had been thoroughly mapped and explored, the most dangerous 17 miles had never been crossed by raft before (2:28). They were able to chart the first few miles of the rapids (3:07). A Western River Expedition truck had arrived a few weeks prior to deliver supplies and equipment (3:16). A beach outside of Tuxtla was to be there pushing off point (3:23). Men of the expedition are seen carrying the oar lock rig (3:30) and inflating the rubber rafts (3:53). Once inflated, the rafts weighed 900 lbs. (4:03). A helicopter arrives bringing the Governor of Chiapas in (4:19). The governor is pictured with news reporters from Tuxtla (4:33). The Mayor of Tuxtla presents one of the men with a rifle and ammunition (4:41). Men strap on life vests (5:08). As they begin to shove off into the waters...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0c75d71a-2a44-49f6-8325-b0e526e806a8/3967975a-2d37-43f3-9b9b-1719722d1dc9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2xf2AhAuTJujhz1oJtydm1</video:player_loc><video:duration>1512</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T07:25:53.409Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/opPcBxbapCZ5Hy276rGebr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5a1d5c63-79fb-400d-b4c3-020e2d2de0e4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SENATOR HIRAM JOHNSON SPEAKS IN OPPOSITION TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S THIRD TERM 57841</video:title><video:description>Dating to October of 1940, this clip features Senator Hiram Johnson speaking in opposition to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's proposed third term, and voices support for the Republican candidate Wendell Wilkie. This endorsement represented a turnabout of sorts for Johnson, who supported FDR's runs in 1932 and 1936. Johnson became disenchanted with FDR after the President tried to pack the Supreme Court as part of his maneuvers with New Deal legislation.

Hiram Warren Johnson (September 2, 1866 – August 6, 1945) was initially a leading American progressive and then a Liberal Isolationist Republican politician from California. He served as the 23rd Governor of California from 1911 to 1917 and as a United States Senator from 1917 to 1945. He was also Theodore Roosevelt's running mate in the 1912 presidential election on the Progressive (also known as the "Bull Moose") ticket.

Made by North American, this short, silent film shows flight of the XB-70A at Edwards Air Force Base in California.  It begins with the aircraft's maiden flight on 21 September 1964. In this first flight test, between Palmdale and Edwards AFB, one engine had to be shut down shortly after take-off, and an undercarriage malfunction warning meant that the flight was flown with the undercarriage down as a precaution, limiting speed to 390 mph – about half that planned. During landing, the rear wheels of the port side main gear locked, the tires ruptured, and a fire started, which you can see at 2:00. Another flight shown concluding at 3:35 is likely one of the first supersonic flights for the aircraft, as paint loss is clearly visible at 3:50 as the pilots deplane. The Valkyrie first became supersonic (Mach 1.1) on the third test flight on 12 October 1964, and flew above Mach 1 for 40 minutes during the following flight on 24 October. 

The North American Aviation XB-70 Valkyrie was the prototype version of the planned B-70 nuclear-armed, deep-penetration strategic bomber for the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command. Designed in the late 1950s by North American Aviation (NAA), the six-engined Valkyrie was capable of cruising for thousands of miles at Mach 3+ while flying at 70,000 feet (21,000 m). At these speeds, it was expected that the B-70 would be practically immune to interceptor aircraft, the only effective weapon against bomber aircraft at the time. The introduction of the first Soviet surface-to-air missiles in the late 1950s put the near-invulnerability of the B-70 in doubt. In a low-level penetration role, the B-70 offered little additional performance over the B-52 it was meant to replace, while being far more expensive with shorter range. Other alternate missions were proposed, but th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0ff8a921-1321-447d-8f9e-26fdf488ed73/8fd09cb5-2c34-41c0-adf8-a270938a76b8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2Yovs14hunKZaHGMKxmPqX</video:player_loc><video:duration>260</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T07:26:57.258Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jq8wZo5HhMuJHqcYTuGnUd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/748a9a13-e5e3-4a36-a2a4-c78c35fd2895.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LUFTWAFFE NAVIGATION TRAINING FILM     ORKNEY ISLANDS  GREAT BRITAIN  59774</video:title><video:description>Dating to the 1930s, this 16mm silent film is ostensibly a study of the geography of the Orkney Islands. Interestingly, when this film was recovered by collector C.E. Daniel (who runs the website danielsww2.com) this film was in a Luftwaffe marked canister. We can assume based on this that the film was actively being shown to Luftwaffe crews during the war, and that makes sense since a film like this one would have greatly added to their navigational prowess. 

Normally a silent film like this one would have been accompanied by a script that would be spoken aloud by a teacher or presumably a superior officer. 

Orkney also known as the Orkney Islands, is an archipelago in the Northern Isles of Scotland, situated off the north coast of Great Britain. Orkney is 16 kilometres (10 mi) north of the coast of Caithness and comprises approximately 70 islands, of which 20 are inhabited. The largest island Mainland is often referred to as "the Mainland". It has an area of 523 square kilometres (202 sq mi), making it the sixth-largest Scottish island and the tenth-largest island in the British Isles.The largest settlement and administrative centre is Kirkwall.  

Orkney was the site of a Royal Navy base at Scapa Flow, which played a major role in World War I and II. After the Armistice in 1918, the German High Seas Fleet was transferred in its entirety to Scapa Flow to await a decision on its future. The German sailors opened the sea-cocks and scuttled all the ships. Most ships were salvaged, but the remaining wrecks are now a favoured haunt of recreational divers. One month into World War II, a German U-boat sank the Royal Navy battleship HMS Royal Oak in Scapa Flow. As a result, barriers were built to close most of the access channels; these had the additional advantage of creating causeways enabling travelers to go from island to island by road instead of being obliged to rely on ferries. The causeways were constructed by Italian prisoners of war, who also constructed th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9522fd52-40bc-4936-9dec-5605d5147e28/874588a1-bfdd-46e8-b1da-0eb9e171a35e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jq8wZo5HhMuJHqcYTuGnUd</video:player_loc><video:duration>982</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T07:30:28.993Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/etjMYVR1fVTxTcrTDGWw8r</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4432a51a-3f90-4bf6-bc30-0ceba2f91e21.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1952 HOME MOVIE  OCCUPIED JAPAN  KANAGAWA PREFECTURE   MT.

This film depicts the Young Men Christian Association's  "Building for Brotherhood" campaign. This 1956-1966 project was intended to expand YMCA facilities in 35 countries, and raised more than $5.5 million. The film was presented by the International Committee of YMCA’s of the US and Canada (:42), produced by Bob Frers (1:12) and narrated by Maurice Strong (1:20), Director General External Aid in Canada. He describes how the YMCA operates in 83 countries (2:38) but now seeks to expand so as to keep pace with growing populations and changing times (3:23). Examples from the campaign beginning with South Korea (3:37). The new building stands in Seoul (3:54) and it is shown in comparison to the older building (4:01), destroyed in the Korean War. Adult education classroom with a teacher providing English instruction (4:46). Kids practice Judo (5:02) and daily sessions were housed in the new chapel (5:14). In the port city of Busan, another building from this project is located (5:28). The former building which had been used was a Quonset hut (5:33). The new building provided a meeting place for communities’ groups such as an organization for social workers (5:45). Members are educated on how to cut and style hair (6:18). Children attend the Kindergarten class (6:24). Tokyo, Japan (7:37). Waseda University (7:42) is situated a few blocks from the new YMCA building (7:44).

This film focuses on the cultural and social aspects of what life within Soviet Russia was like during the Cold War. It was filmed with government permission and an official guide to show the more prosperous side of the Soviet Union and it will refrain from looking into the political and economic life (:11). Moscow is the fifth largest city in the world and is also the capital of the Soviet Union and the Russian Republic (2:03). The Moskva River, in western Russia, runs adjacent to the Kremlin (2:17). The Kremlin was initially created as a fortress until Peter the Great transferred the Imperial Government to St. Petersburg (2:27). A quota is set in place by the government for labor and production goals (2:44). The Kremlin faces the Red Square; (2:49) which the St. Basil the Blessed Cathedral sits in the center of (2:53). Iron gates had previously blocked off visitors to the Kremlin until 1955 (3:05). The tombs of Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin sit near the Kremlin’s entrance (3:12). The Hermitage Art Gallery in Leningrad follows (3:40). The gold domes of the Kremlin are pointed out as all activity within the Soviet Union is directed from here (3:46). The churches of the Soviet Union operate freely (3:56) and while Russian Orthodox is the most popular, there exists many different venues for varying religions (4:02). Religion is refrained from being taught in schools and most Russians are educated about atheism instead (4:23). City streets are mostly empty  (4:48). Statues of Russian Tzars and warriors (5:05) as well as statues dedicated to workers. At six months, children are taken to nursery schools (5:45). At the age of seven they are sent for regular schooling (6:00). Academic standards are high and classes are six days a week ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f3f8e76e-735f-4dad-9723-5644d35054ec/200dd855-d58d-47e1-a9e4-5731f7b94f4f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/w8mkZqqo2RtBvLqX13fABE</video:player_loc><video:duration>1256</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T07:39:20.554Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/i8Gqp1jQ2PcnsYowWH8mBs</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8338c3e4-5421-4347-a1ed-60a926ddbab7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BOEING 707 JET PROTOTYPE &amp; TWA LOCKHEED CONSTELLATION   TEMPELHOF AIRPORT (SILENT) 34650</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This film is a part of the TV travelogue series called “Bold Journey”, which aired on ABC and was hosted by Jack Douglas. The episodes ran from 1956-1959 and were composed of films taken by explorers and adventurers during their travels around the globe. This particular episode features Stanley Dashew as he takes his family on a trip to Haiti to explore the intriguing practice of Voodoo. (Interestingly, Dashew eventually went on to become one of the founders of the plastic credit card companies in the 1950’s.) Haitian Voodoo is a religion derived from slaves which came about between the syncretism between traditional religions of West Africa and Roman Catholicism. The film opens with Jack Douglas (:29) and footage of Haitian natives dancing and conducting voodoo rituals (:46). Stanley Dashew first appears at (1:31) and he discusses how he had first visited Haiti in 1947. The footage he will show is from his return trip in 1949 (1:48). The large schooner he and his family purchased for the film is called the Constellation (2:22). Dashew and his wife are pictured as they debated Dashew selling his business and buying the Constellation in order to take their long voyage (2:45). Their son Steve was to also join the trip (2:49) as well as their three-month-old daughter Leslie (3:33). Scenes from their shove off from port (3:38) lead into footage of the Welland Canal (4:17) which drops ships from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. From here they traveled through the Lawrence River (4:55). In the gulf of the St. Lawrence, they pass by Bonaventure Island (5:28) as clusters of sea gulls gather on a large cliff side (5:27). The group then hit the Boston harbor and scooped up lobsters (6:11). The New York Harbor follows (6:37) as they headed down towards Miami and on to Cuba (6:52). Dashew is seen dressed as Santa Claus as they would spen...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/273c6d3b-0056-4320-9d98-6bacc3806838/c0576988-a318-4457-8e9e-4a5c608bf3f4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5R1Gdx541hbY5nJGTUPNCy</video:player_loc><video:duration>1522</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T07:42:25.946Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8V1CUhxcHuoFULpiDCoMa1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f31d731e-97b0-4838-8521-f9b767ad74e8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE BATTLE OF VERDUN   WORLD WAR ONE DOCUMENTARY  1916   WWI  THE GREAT WAR 44074</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This documentary is about the Battle of Verdun fought from February to December of 1916. It was the longest battle of WWI. The German high command attacked Verdun in hopes that the French would drain their men and resources to recapture it. The film was created by National Education Television and was one of eight films about forces that have influenced the development of 20th Century western civilization (:58). The film opens with pedestrians looking down upon the memorial for an unknown soldier whom had fallen at the Battle of Verdun at the Arc du Triomphe (1:42). Statues of soldiers commemorating the battle are in an area called the ‘war belt’ consisting of the desolate villages left in the wake of the battle (2:29). Photographs of men in trenches during the battle follows (3:42). During this battle, 1,220,000 men perished (4:21). Chief of German General Staff Erich von Falkenhayn (6:08) came up with the plan to target strategic areas in France that would encourage the French to send all of their men to defend and would therefore ‘bleed France dry’ and never planned to actually capture Verdun (6:25). The Meuse river is seen which cuts through the area (6:42). Germans planned the attack for months, setting up 1,000 heavy guns in the woods outside of the city (7:10) as well as constructing 10 new rails lines. The French were ill-equipped with 34 battalions to the German 72 battalions (7:21). The attack began on February 12th, 1916 (7:35) though it snowed that night and continued to snow for a week which held the attack up (7:48). Once the snow cleared, the German’s continued attacking and photographs of explosions and long-range guns are seen (8:45). It would last for 10 months and in the process, nine villages were completely decimated (10:52). One of the towns, Fleury, was captured a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4016c853-5ba6-4840-8ae0-8994435942ee/2445aafb-1aa3-443c-81dc-f7cdfe6f3c4d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8V1CUhxcHuoFULpiDCoMa1</video:player_loc><video:duration>1761</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T07:43:20.657Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vhJwo4UsiDzYPvRx1U6ALL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2e4ac02b-6072-4dd6-bed2-80fc02ab5bbb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" LSD TRIP OR TRAP!

FILM    MODEL A    ROUGE PLANT  ASSEMBLY LINE (SILENT)   45354</video:title><video:description>Help us save more orphaned films on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm  

This silent film -- probably made by Eastman Kodak as part of the company's educational film library --  shows a Ford Model A assembly plant, probably the famed Rouge Ford Plant, and the manufacturing of these vehicles of the late 1920’s. According to a Ford expert, the closed bodies cars are Model As with all steel doors, and the crankshafts depicted are also Model A.  Introduced in 1927, the Model A was Ford's second market success after the Model T which had been in production for 18 years. By late 1929, two million Model A's were sold. The range of body styles ran from the Tudor at US$500 to the town car with a dual cowl at US$1,200 ($20,862 in 2021 dollars ). Model A production ceased in 1932, after 4,858,644 had been made. Its successor was the Model B.

The film opens with a map pointing to Michigan. Henry Ford’s first Model T was crafted in 1908 at Ford’s Piquette Avenue plant in Detroit, Michigan (:38). The 1928 Model A was the first automobile completely built at the Rouge, Ford Motor Company's massive factory complex in Dearborn, Michigan, and this is likely what is shown in the film. The plant's first products were WWI anti-submarine boats produced in Building B, part of the Dearborn Assembly Plant, which started producing Model A's in the late 1920s and continued production through 2004.  In the 1920’s, half of the world’s automobiles were coming from Ford in Michigan (:45). Description of the materials which go into the manufacturing of these vehicles flow on screen such as tin, glass, zinc, cloth, rubber, gasoline and others (1:01). The use of steel in the automobile industry is pointed to first (1:45) as the film turns to a steel mill (1:50). Inside of the mill, workers funnel coke and iron ore into an open furnace (1:55) and sheets of the white-hot metals are seen afterwards (2:12). The production of a crankshaft is then shown (2:46) as large machinery pummels t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5d7178c0-7a4a-440d-bcaa-66e45096d992/adbf1398-e5d0-4f21-aa67-4c08227c835c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cxfqCNmNUqXpH6Xr5QQgcY</video:player_loc><video:duration>876</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T07:50:34.418Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wqU89uJ1N8snSz31zUKeaJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/084631a3-36e9-4f7c-b899-73450ff77356.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" PATHS IN PALESTINE " 1934 U.S. NAVY SAILORS VISIT HOLY LAND  JERUSALEM  BETHLEHEM  ISRAEL 43894b</video:title><video:description>This black &amp; white educational film "Paths in Palestine" is about United States Navy sailors on a Mediterranean cruise visiting the Holy Land (Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth).

Dating to 1934, this short film depicts some of the various athletics and recreational activities available for Navy seamen and U.S. Naval Academy cadets. The film opens with shots of a group of bluejackets on a vessel -- probably an aircraft carrier -- located in Pacific waters conducting physical training exercises (:20). The Navy Band plays as the men limber up (:44). A few sailors are seen imitating a bronco ride with a saddle attached to ropes as other sailors jostle the rider about (:52). The top swimmers of the fleet dive into waters for a swimming meet (1:15). The winners were to bring trophies back to their ships (1:22). It was important for all sailors to know how to swim in full uniform (1:53). A few are seen racing against one another (2:03). The winner of the swim meet holds a large trophy among his shipmates (2:14). Indoor baseball training takes place in the Naval Academy gymnasium (2:37). Encircled by nets, sailors swing at balls and practice their pitches (2:42). These trainings were enacted as the fleet prepared to move southward (2:52) and whenever they were to visit a foreign port, the Navy put on an exhibition game (2:58). The midship fencing team practices to keep their skills sharp (3:16). Boxing is very popular for Navy men and a version where the participants are blindfolded and can only hear their opponent through the rattling of their tin cups follows (3:54). A roller skate battle pitches sailors against one another while rolling across the floor on roller skates (4:12). Boxers duel over a long cylindrical pole to entertain their fellow shipmen (4:31).

Created in the 1930’s by AB Bofors, a Swedish arms manufacturer, it was used largely in WW2 by the western Allied Forces. The film opens with the Bofors crest (:21) and will take viewers through a detailed breakdown of the weapon. This weapon had become the standard anti-aircraft gun during WWII and had been modified to become entirely "tropicalized" (:49) meaning it resisted rust and damage from moisture and fungi. Another modification was the replacement of the original separate electron tube amplifiers with compact units (1:06) which required less space. The transistorized amplifier was built into the center platform (1:23). The connection of the gun was simplified and a diagram is shown of the only two cables now necessary (1:39) for the computer and for power. The amplifier was also shock proof as it had been made into a single unit (1:48) and broken or malfunctioning units were easily replaced (2:05) and these required no time to warm up once a change had been made. The pump motor for the hydraulic system and the driving motor for speed gears are pointed to (2:25). Bofors established a permanent technical training school in order to educate officers and technicians on how to use the gun (2:54). Students of the school watch as different functioning tests are conducted prior to the weapons delivery (3:24). Some of the tests include one on the wheel hub brakes (4:26) as well as on the wheel alignment (4:32). The gun is then taken to the proving grounds where the radius of where rounds are to land is shown (5:03).

This early postwar (1946-1952) film was likely made by Japan's NHK – the national film, TV and radio company. This newsreel centers on industry news, starting with cotton and silk production, continuing with chemical industries and shipping, and all the way to forestry, agriculture, fish catches and quotas. The film shows the footage of the "new" Japan hard at work to rebuild itself after the war, at a time when many factories were still not rebuilt and the nation was faced with the hard realities of defeat. Some real signs of progress are shown -- the new Hiroshima Central Television station building for example. The film also shows the Japanese countryside, wintry Hokkaido coast with fishing boats and the town of Iwanai in Hokkaido.

Shot by an unknown tourist, this silent home movie contains scenes shot in rural Arizona, at the Phoenix Biltmore Resort, in Nogales and at Picacho Peak State Park. It was filmed during WWII which dates it from the early to mid-1940’s. It opens with a residential home in Arizona with family members pictured outside (:16). Sheep are seen in a large grassy field (:24) as farmers operate machinery in order to harvest their crops (1:03). The crops are loaded onto a conveyor belt by agricultural workers  -- probably itinerant Mexican-Americans(1:26). The conveyer dumps them into a truck at the end of the line (1:30). Next, shots of decrepit, small wooden building with a cross on it, and a simple white church or chapel. This is possibly part of a movie set (1:56) or even a ghost town. A similar movie set in Southern Arizona remains, known as "Old Tucson", but this one appears different. Next, scenes at the Arizona Biltmore, located in Phoenix. Hotel guests enjoy pool side relaxation (2:37). The single floor hotel is viewed shortly after (3:02) along with the stately Wrigley Mansion nearby atop a hill (3:16). Historic Morley Avenue in Nogales follows including the border crossing (3:51). The camera pans around the area to captured some of the residential homes embedded in the hilly landscape (4:04). Note the light metal fence at (4:08) which was all that separated the two nations at the time. The Ramirez Money Exchange building appears at (4:18) as 2-6-0 steam locomotive Southern Pacific Lines #2105 passes by (4:33). The locomotive was probably shuttling freight from Nogales, Mexico to Nogales, Arizona. At (5:02) a sign for "military police" gives an idea of who manned the border station in this era. At (5:05) a woman walks past dressed in black, with her head covered almost like a burkha.

In 1927, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad sponsored a pageant commemorating the 100th anniversary of its founding and, in effect, the steam locomotive’s 100th year.  At the time, the B&amp;O published a booklet giving the history of the road and issued a silent motion picture. This is a slightly modified version which appears today much as it did when originally presented in the months following the close of the pageant on October 16, 1927. The celebration was held at Halethorpe, near Baltimore, from September 24 to October 16 and was called – The Fair of the Iron Horse. Cars enter The Fair of the Iron Horse 1:45. During the three weeks of the pageant, 136,000 automobiles, 13,000 on a single day, were parked under the direction of the company’s own police force. Views of the packed parking lot 2:16. Nearly 400,000 people reach the fairgrounds on Baltimore and Ohio trains. Man works at teletype 2:27. The train pulls into the station 2:34. The opening day, September 24, was Maryland day. Hon. Albert C. Ritchie, governor of Maryland arrives. Pres. Willard now greeted the multitude on behalf of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and introduced Gov. Ritchie. Gov. Ritchie makes a brief commemorative address 3:28. The pageant begins at exactly 2:15. This record for punctuality was maintained throughout the fair. The history of inland transportation now passed in review before the audience. First came American Indians of the Blackfeet nation 3:48. The Blackfeet ride horses around the fair 4:03.

Abruptly starting with the Tsukiji Hongan-ji temple, we then see the facilities of the Judge Advocate General Office and the detention center associated with the War Crimes in the Far East Rrial, several destroyed religious buildings (Anglican or Catholic), and a panorama of the Tokyo city Port District (Minato-ku). The anonymous filmmaker then travels to Manila, Philippines for a holiday. There the footage contains San Tomas University, Santiago fort and the general streets and city life of Manila. The author then returns to Japan, very probably to the conclusion and suspension of the War Crimes trials in winter 1948, where we see a bustling city in the midst of a municipal election, the usual sights of Hibiya park and the Imperial palace, as well as the Nikkatsu studios building. Then we follow him to London, UK and Wiesbaden, Germany, where we see the Tower of London, Tower Bridge and Wiesbaden Spa Park along with a famous café Rumpelmayer.

The reception follows as one of the female guests passes out pieces of the wedding cake to guests (3:29). At (4:08) an African American waiter in whites strides across the grounds with plates. The bride then holds her bouquet as a few bridesmaids inspect it (4:27). Just as guests are seen milling around the grounds of the reception area the film then turns to combat training footage (4:59). This material likely dates from prior to WWII, as horse drawn artillery is shown at (7:53). The footage shows an armored personnel carrier or M3 Scout Car riding along the grounds (6:35) and enlisted men in small armored vehicles (7:02). Soldiers march in formation (7:31).

"Language of Design" was produced by Cine-Service. This 1950 color movie is about Australian post-war modern design, especially fabric and women's fashion design, and how it is inspired by nature and other visual means. The film won the Cine Service Documentary
Film Award for director Gerard Herbst and producer/writer Geoffrey Thompson and was shown at Lille. At the time, Herbst was serving as the art director of the Prestige fashion studio in Melbourne, Australia. The film is notable in that it uses a black person to showcase indigenous inspired fabrics (11:15), something which was considered daring at the time. 

The movie intends to show the viewer how Australian designers use different methods to come up with new designs for their textile manufacturing businesses. As the movie begins, a woman comes across a piece of driftwood on the beach and she caresses it with her hand: 52. Seashells can be seen on the beach 1:15. The woman examines the shells on the piece of wood 1:33. Woman admires a tree branch 1:53. The inside of a design studio in the Australian textile industry is shown 2:07. A woman lays out flowers on a canvas for textile design 2:31. Seashells are used as inspiration for the designer’s creations 2:42.

“Battle for Oil” is a WWII Canadian propaganda film from 1942. The film was produced by Raymond Spottiswoode and directed by Stuart Legg. This version is in French. The film examines oil production and supply and shows its priority as part of the war effort. It shows how the Royal Air Force and U.S. Army Air Forces are raiding production facilities that supply Nazi Germany with oil, and vice versa. This made refineries, synthetic fuel factories and storage depots prime strategic targets. The film opens with a sign about rationing that reads “Avoid Useless/Non-essential Driving” as a crack down on fuel use domestically was used to conserve oil for warfare (:19). Commuters took to carpooling or riding bicycles (:34) and a curfew was imposed to keep drivers off the road as much as possible. A map is shown pointing to Venezuela, Texas and Mexico which comprise the largest oil basin in the world (1:06). Men hold long pipes pumping oil into ships (1:06) to power countries like the US and Britain’s naval fleets. To protect oil supplies and gateways against U-boats, American warships (1:26) were sent out and patrol bombers flew over the Gulf of Mexico (1:30). Another main source of oil was the Great Central Eurasian oilfield which Soviet troops and tankers (including one marked "Lenin") (1:45) fought to protect from German onslaught (1:49). British and French troops maintained guard over Middle Eastern oil supplies such as in Iraq and Syria (2:08). Fighting breaks out over the area with Italian Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero bombers overhead. The British respond with anti-aircraft weapons and sub-machinegun fire (2:24). Gasoline containers are sent down from a ship in an assembly line fashion in Iran (2:42).

It opens with the Douglas A-26; a twin-engine light bomber and ground attack air craft (:44). The A-20 it replaced is shown (:52). In England, a bomber group makes a changeover and prepares to return to its home base in France (:59). The craft’s all-purpose nose is pointed to (1:07). Within the cockpit, the pilot adjusts the controls (1:38) and the instruments are checked (1:43). The square like shape of the A-26 is pointed out as its defining keynote (1:55). The craft is seen in flight (2:05). It was powered by Pratt and Whitney engines (2:17). The A-26 lands at the base in France (2:32). Ground forces conduct servicing on the crafts (2:44). Eight removable .50 caliber package guns (2:52) could be mounted in place of guns. Interchangeable nose types include a lightly armed plexiglass model for bombing missions as well as an attack or strafing nose (3:13). The nose is changed (3:40) and bombs are loaded into the plane (3:44). A wide span of artillery follows (3:52). A few weeks prior, the A-26 struck at Nazi forces (4:14). Here (4:21), they are taking off for another strike against Germany to flatten the Belgian Bulge (4:21). A map points to Zulpich on December 24th, 1944 (4:39) as one craft was to hit the communications center. 250- and 1,000-pound bombs fall upon their target bridge (4:51). This attack directly affected the actions of General George Patton’s 3rd Army (5:07). Arlon, Belgium’s main road from Luxembourg to Bastogne, was another A-26 target (5:25). They were to aid the ground forces in clearing the road (5:34). Aerial footage follows of the attack (5:38). The next segment depicts a delivery of flour in January of 1944 to Castle di Sangrio (6:06). Flour bags are moved into Italian bombers (6:19). Pilots are briefed for the mission (6:27). The target area is zoomed in on near the Sangro river valley (7:05). The flour bags are dropped (7:35).

This animated film presents the theories of ionization as they are applied to gas filled or vacuum tubes. It was produced by the Division of Visual Arts of the U.S. Office of Education (:14). It opens with a display of a vacuum diode in which electrons are emitted by a cathode (:43) and attracted by a positively charged anode (:44). The number of electrons depend on the amount emitted from the cathode, the potential difference between the anode and the cathode and the negative space charge from the electrons in the stream (:52). The negative space charge limits the flow of the electrons from the cathode to the anode (1:22). In order to reduce it’s limiting effect, a small amount of mercury vapor or an inert gas is added (1:33) making it a gas filled tube (1:41). When the cathode is heated electrons are emitted (1:48). Electrons will return the to cathode if there is no positive potential in the anode (1:56). When a small amount of positive potential is included, electrons will move to the anode (2:08). Electrons move from cathode to anode and atoms of gas move around randomly (2:28). The tube will begin to glow and the current will increase if the anode potential is increased enough (2:40). The tube is said to fire or discharge (2:50). Within the tube, electrons collide with the atoms of gas causing a temporary disturbance of the orbit of the gas atoms (3:05) though they return to normal orbit quickly. Light is released during these collisions (3:35). Some of the electrons moving quickly enough, may force electrons from the atoms (3:51) and these become positive ions (3:59). The electrons removed may then collide with other atoms producing more ions (4:21) in a process is known as ionization (4:29). Ions are attracted to the cathod...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/edc1ed78-1855-4997-8c3a-3eecb894920a/8d586d6d-0c30-4374-8ed3-42a026018954-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vmQJmvwtCrhp24PZSfmXH5</video:player_loc><video:duration>897</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T08:32:16.423Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6RdN9QvFymdhDDMV2ckiYb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9b0329f1-8b07-46cf-bdd2-2dcde0dea3a2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" HAD YOU LIVED THEN ... AMERICA AROUND 1800 "  EDUCATIONAL FILM ABOUT 19th CENTURY USA 43924</video:title><video:description>This color educational film is about "Had You Lived Then ... America Around 1800". It presents an authentic reenactment of the daily life of a family in the early 19th century.  Around the year 1800, most Americans lived on farms or in small rural communities, with only a few residing in cities like Philadelphia. Families like the Wilsons lived modestly in six-room farmhouses, enduring cold winters with warm clothing and shared beds. Daily life centered around the fireplace, which was essential for heating, cooking, and lighting. Women, like Mrs. Wilson, handled numerous domestic tasks including soap and butter making, cooking, and hauling heavy supplies. Fred Wilson, in addition to farming, owned a general store where bartering was common. Blacksmiths were vital community members, and education was becoming widespread following independence, with one-room schoolhouses teaching children reading, writing, and morals. Travel was challenging and often uncomfortable, especially by stagecoach, though steamboats were beginning to improve river transport. Despite hardships, families found joy in simple activities like storytelling, crafting, and occasional social gatherings. The Wilsons' home reflected the spirit of a young nation—modest, hardworking, and full of promise for the future.

0:00 – In 1800, most Americans lived on farms or in small communities. Philadelphia was the largest city, with about 41,000 people.1:07 – Urban life varied by income. Rural families like the Wilsons lived in modest six-room homes on farms.1:33 – Bedrooms were simple, often with trundle beds for small children.

"230,000 Will Die" is a 1954, black and white film that opens with narrator Charles Cameron, M.D., medical director of the American Cancer Society, speaking to the camera. This groundbreaking film about medical research was presented by the American Cancer Society. Its purpose is to warn Americans to take early action on their cancer as it can be treated and save lives. To a modern audience, the film is notable because of what it does not focus on -- for example smoking is not mentioned, or diet, or sun exposure. The film is primarily about encouraging adults to see their doctors if they notice unusual symptoms.

Charles Cameron is a doctor whose specialty is cancer, and the medical and scientific director of the American Cancer Society. He points to an image claiming 230,000 Americans will die from cancer. A woman is seen. She is a former cancer patient and survivor named Lillian Mailer 1:45. Charles Cameron speaks to the camera 2:00. The camera pans out to show a picture frame that will show the interviews of random people on the street to get their views on cancer 2:45. The first interview is with a woman and she speaks to the camera 3:03. The second interview is with a man and he speaks to the camera 3:25. The third interview is with a woman and she speaks to the camera 3:36. The fourth interview is with a woman and she speaks to the camera holding a child 3:44. The final interview is with a man and he speaks to the camera 3:55. Charles Cameron speaks to the camera 4:05. The background behind Charles Cameron lights up and there are seven specific lighted areas he will review 5:04. Each area represents a cancer symptom 5:15. Cancer cells are shown 5:45. A living normal cell is shown under a microscope 6:15. The cell is reproducing 6:26. Now, a cell of the enemy, cancer, is shown 6:35.

This silent 1940s era home movie begins with footage shot in Peru, and then shows footage shot in Miami, Florida. 

At :36, a sign indicates "Mina Viso" -- apparently a stop along the Ferrocarril Central del Peru near Huancayo. Pack llamas are seen in a corral. At 1:02 the flag of Peru flies against the Andes Mountains. At 3:16 the film shows what might be Palomino Island in Peru, with its large colony of sea lions. At 6:10 a family is shown picnicking in a tent. Based on the presence of the cake and coffee it might be someone's birthday... 

Starting at 6:32 the Musa Isle Indian Village tourist attraction in Miami, Florida is shown. Itr was located on NW 25th Avenue and 16th Street, near the south bank of the Miami River just east of the current NW 27th Avenue bridge. Musa Isle "Home of the Seminoles" featured all kinds of alligator wrestling shows (7:09), Seminole dancing, weaving, jewelry, clothing (7:56) and other hand made items from the Seminole nation. Starting at 8:25 the Hialeah Park Race Track (also known as the Miami Jockey Club or Hialeah Race Track or Hialeah Park) horse racing venue is shown. The movie also includes some family shots at the end, including people sitting down in a garden and enjoying a cup of coffee together at 12:16.

Based on the clothes and other clues it probably dates to the 1930s but there is at least a chance it is post-WWII and shot by a member of the occupying forces. (One person who watched the footage noted that the pharmacy that appears at 14:45 in the film has a sign for the "Kangaroo Literary Society", which was apparently out of favor before 1938.) 

The film shows Kyoto – including the Imperial Palace and Gion and the Kyomizudera temple group. It shows the now rarely-seen custom of immersion in the stream at the Otowa-no-taki, two "mizukake" statues; temples and sights of Nikko – Tosho-gu, Rin-no-ji and Shimbashi. It also shows the daily work of shellfish and pearl-divers, which was very popular among tourists.

One of three films produced by the March of Time for the U.S. Navy entitled "The Enemy Japan", Part III deals with the Japanese "dream of empire" and the assaults made by Japan on its neighbors in Asia prior to the formal outbreak of WWII.  The film contains some astonishing footage of Japanese atrocities, and also shows the close ties between Nazi Germany and the Fascist Japanese — with Japanese diplomats  / emissaries being feted by Hitler in Berlin at the 18 minute mark.The film begins with Ambassador Joseph Grew asserting to the camera that Japanese "have got to be beaten until they know they are beaten". Japanese have been "fanatical, resourceful, treacherous and murderous" in their aggression against China. Creation of Manchukuo under puppet Emperor Pu Yi (reviewing troops), gave Japan control of industrial development and agriculture using Chinese labour, while opium usage was simultaneously expanded. Bombing of Shanghai in 1937 by Japanese Army Air Force (Zero fighters and twin-engine bombers take off, street devastation) caused USN casualties on board USS Augusta (funeral on deck). Chinese refugees flee city as US missionaries, targeted by Japanese, tend wounded civilians.Developing new tactics of improvisation and building up their military experience Japanese moved up Yangtse River in series of amphibious operations: armed air boats move up river, floatplanes reconnoitre, supplies are moved along bank of river, soldiers cross water over human pontoon.

Thompson, and shows the eruption of the Paricutin volcano. It likely dates towards the end of the volcanic eruption in the early 1950s. Thompson was a Los Angeles surgeon who liked to shoot home movies and present them. Around this same time he made an amateur film entitled "Invitation to Hawaii" which was widely seen around the USA. He was also president of the Los Angeles Physicians' Art Society.

Parícutin (or Volcán de Parícutin, also accented Paricutín) is a dormant scoria-cone volcano located in the Mexican state of Michoacán, near the city of Uruapan and about 322 km west of Mexico City. The volcano surged suddenly from the cornfield of local farmer Dionisio Pulido in 1943, attracting both popular and scientific attention. This eruption presented the first occasion for modern science to document the full life cycle of an eruption of this type. During the 9-year life span of Parícutin, scientists sketched and mapped it, took samples as well as thousands of photographs of this volcano. By 1952, the volcano left a 424 meter high cone and significantly damaged a 233 km2 area with the ejection of stone, ash and lava. Three people were killed, two towns were completely evacuated and buried by lava and three others were heavily affected. Hundreds of people had to be permanently relocated, with two new towns created to accommodate the migration of people. Although the area still remains highly active volcanically, Parícutin itself is quiet and has become a tourist attraction, with people climbing the volcano itself and visiting the hardened-lava covered ruins of the San Juan Parangaricutiro Church. Parícutin is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World as assigned by CNN.

Parícutin erupted from 1943 to 1952, unusually long for this type of volcano and with several eruptive phases. For weeks prior, residents of the area reported hearing noises similar to thunder but without clouds in the sky. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f5ea692a-5e57-44b7-8797-caf617efcd48/e9dab739-6eb7-4446-b265-c4603b3106f4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wngCuBj9NtezEgA5tr5Zjy</video:player_loc><video:duration>2454</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T08:52:19.980Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/e9usD4VbiCJn9ZHyQVFupP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d08ba2a2-703b-4462-bc8b-e6901f8d0222.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“U.

They are shown in intimate little domestic scenes of spinning, ploughing, feeding turkeys, chickens and geese. Helping their parents with the oddest of spinning wheels; herding sheep and drawing water from a picturesque old well with a sweep. As one of the titles cleverly expresses it, "Children are pretty much alike all over the world, and very well worth all the trouble experienced in their bringing up." Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

This raw, silent footage shows a Gloster Meteor, tail VT196, taxiing and being serviced. This particular aircraft was a Mark IV (VT196) which came to Canada in July 1953 for winterization trials, and this footage may date from that time frame. From January 1954 onwards this particular plane was used in developing the afterburner system for Canada’s Orenda engine. This enabled the aircraft to reach 20,000 feet in three minutes. VT196 went back to Britain in June 1955 where it was used in further experimental work until 1962.The Gloster Meteor was the first British jet fighter and the Allies' only operational jet aircraft during the Second World War. The Meteor's development was heavily reliant on its ground-breaking turbojet engines, pioneered by Sir Frank Whittle and his company, Power Jets Ltd. Development of the aircraft itself began in 1940, although work on the engines had been under way since 1936. The Meteor first flew in 1943 and commenced operations on 27 July 1944 with No. 616 Squadron RAF. Nicknamed the "Meatbox", the Meteor was not a sophisticated aircraft in its aerodynamics, but proved to be a successful combat fighter. Gloster's 1946 civil Meteor F.4 demonstrator G-AIDC was the first civilian-registered jet aircraft in the world.Several major variants of the Meteor incorporated technological advances during the 1940s and 1950s. Thousands of Meteors were built to fly with the RAF and other air forces and remained in use for several decades. The Meteor saw limited action in the Second World War. Meteors of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) fought in the Korean War. Several other operators such as Argentina, Egypt and Israel flew Meteors in later regional conflicts. Specialised variants of the Meteor were developed for use in photographic aerial reconnaissance and as night fighters.The Meteor was al...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b05a4a38-d207-4045-8d73-5f512abf3dc9/c6d12705-af3c-4477-a6b2-615ab3e62929-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nM46BmF9ci3pTZWqiXHKMk</video:player_loc><video:duration>309</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T09:04:15.582Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2sBXQZzjJnfrC2iSZ5Kk3S</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/04c1e5da-46dc-4cce-a36f-e895c5f96e11.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CHRISTIAN OVERSEAS PROGRAM  "OPERATION MERCY"  POST-WWII RELIEF PROMOTIONAL FILM  C.R.O.P.

This is a restricted, 1943, black and white Official Training Film presented by the United States War Department, training film TF- 9.2041. It was one of a series made by the Army Service Forces, Signal Corps, to educate ground crew about the 37mm automatic cannon then in use aboard the Bell P-39 Airacobra and the derivative P-63 Kingcobra.  The 37 mm Automatic Gun, M4, known as the T9 during development, was a 37 mm (1.46 in) recoil-operated autocannon designed by Browning Arms Company. The weapon, which was built by Colt, entered service in 1942.  

The purpose of the film is to show the many ways the 37mm - M4 can malfunction and how cleaning and care for the M4 can prevent these problems. The movie opens with a crew chief standing on the wing of an Airacobra ready to help the pilot into a cockpit. Two planes take off 1:00. Pilot moves to engage five Japanese planes 1:22. Plane’s guns malfunction and he is hit by Japanese gunfire - his plane crash lands 1:47. A fellow pilot writes in a journal about the loss of his friend 2:03. Now the backstory -- an Army Air Force mechanic drops a critical piece of the 37mm M4. It hits the ground, and he cleans it off improperly 2:50. Now, the proper way to do it. The 37mm - M4 is shown firing 3:10. The men clean the 37mm - M4 3:33. The M4 is completely disassembled and cleaned by a mechanic 4:00. An animation shows how the bullet is loaded into the chamber 4:22. An airman demonstrates different places to clean the parts of the M4 4:38.

This film shows tests with Gemini Static Article No. 5. This was a model of the first manned Gemini spacecraft, designed for test and qualifications of landing and recovery procedures. Project Gemini ran from 1961 to 1966. The tests shown in the film were conducted after NASA determined that returning Gemini capsules were to land in the sea (:32). This landing technique was similar to that of the Mercury space program (:44) although there were several differences that required a complete post landing and recovery re-qualification. Variations shown include the flotation angles of the two spacecraft (1:00), the seating position of the astronauts caused by the floatation angles (1:21), as well as the location of the spacecraft’s systems (1:43). Static Article V was to be used at McDonnell Aircraft Corporation in St. Louis for post landing and recovery requalification tests (2:05). Static Article 5 is seen being prepared by McDonnell workers (2:17). It was created to be a replica to Spacecraft III which is to be the first manned Gemini spacecraft (2:47). An Electronics Division truck ships the Static Article 5 to the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas for open sea tests (2:58). The first of these tests was held in the Gulf of Mexico (3:09). The objective for this test was to demonstrate the craft’s suitability and stability while in a sea environment for long durations (3:18). The second test was to qualify the essential post landing systems and demonstrate the craft structure’s seaworthiness (3:29). They also wanted to collect data on the human physiological reactions to long durations in sea environments (3:36). The motor retriever utilized for this test is pointed to (3:48) and test subject NASA Engineer Gordon Harvey is see...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2dc937f1-9c74-4584-97f6-43d043ca0c41/86e42ab5-8f1d-4110-bf1c-84d97d1fd25b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6DVyj7s9Mbh16VHzspREng</video:player_loc><video:duration>873</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T09:15:20.345Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wHVdebGC1brscoxxZwRuTw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/281adfc4-d34c-4d2d-b296-cc5c88ffcd07.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE DEATH OF BONNIE PARKER &amp; CLYDE BARROW   BONNIE &amp; CLYDE  PROHIBITION ERA GANGSTERS   17094</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This silent film from the 1920’s was to be shown in classroom as a teaching tool. It shows various methods of transportation across the globe including modern methods as well as more primitive methods. It was edited by Don Carlos Ellis (:12). Footage opens the film of city streets with inhabitants in traditional 1920’s style attire as a trolley or streetcar / tram rides through the streets (:45). A steam locomotive pulls a train round a bend along a large hill (:52). An American style steam engine with a prominent spark catching chimney takes a pit stop at in a rural location (1:10). A close up shot of the 1920’s steam engine follows (1:20). A third train moves from Brownsville to Port Isabel, Texas (1:30), most likely on the St. Louis, Brownsville &amp; Mexico Railway. A man is seen atop a horse riding over a wooden bridge as many still used horses as a form of locomotion (1:51). Mules ride down steep jagged and rocky terrain with packs atop their backs (2:06). A one-horse carriage is seen alongside a trolley (2:25). This is followed by a man and woman in a two wheeled cart pulled by a small donkey (2:40).

This color educational/promotional film (from the collection of Jeff Vilencia) is about the SCAT or Submarine Classification and Tracking System. This anti-submarine warfare system and the film are circa the 1960s, probably about 1964-65. SCAT was a mechanical noisemaker affixed to large magnets which, when it attached to the hull of a moving submarine, generated noise that allowed the sub to be easily tracked. The SCAT was to be delivered using the already existing Hedgehog system. SCAT was the brainchild of inventor Frank Dobson, who also patented and developed a hovercraft and aircraft as well as children's toys. It's unclear exactly what the fate of the system was, but apparently it was never deployed, most likely because the odds of having the device successfully attach to the hull of a moving submarine at sea were very low. Studies were performed in 1962 and 1964 on both sea-launched and aircraft launched delivery of the SCAT, but the actual test results do not appear on the Internet.  The film was made by the Ford Motor Company's Aeronutronic Division, based in Newport Beach, California.

Opening: a submarine under the sea. Navy personnel track the submarine on radar. Tracking device is fired into the air that lands on the sub. Title: SCAT (Submarine Classification and Tracking) (:07-1:50). The SCAT device tracks the submarine and gives its location via its loud acoustic signature after it lands on the submarine. SCAT is simply designed with a magnet and a pivot arm. The SCAT is shown and explained. Sonar operators on the Navy ship locate what they're looking for (1:51-2:56). Engineers discuss the anti-submarine mission of the Navy They show slides about submarines and sonar. Engineers sit and discuss. One man draws on a chalkboard. SCAT idea is presented to the Navy. Navy men sit with engineers (2:57-5:11).

Released by the Australian Department of Information Pictures, this black &amp; white news film is about the Battle of the Bismarck Sea (March 2-24, 1943) which took place in the South West Pacific Area during World War II when aircraft of the U.S. Fifth Air Force and the Royal Australian Air Force attacked a Japanese convoy carrying troops to Lae, New Guinea. Follow-up attacks by PT boats and aircraft were made on 4 March. All eight transports and four of the escorting destroyers were sunk. Of 6,900 troops who were badly needed in New Guinea, only about 1,200 made it to Lae. Another 2,700 were rescued by destroyers and submarines and returned to Rabaul. The Japanese made no further attempts to reinforce Lae by ship, greatly hindering their ultimately unsuccessful efforts to stop Allied offensives in New Guinea.

Opening titles: Cinesound Review Bismarck Convoy Smashed! (:06-:34). March 2, Japanese ships are near Lae, New Guinea. Map of the Bismarck Sea. Planes at the Allied air base. USAF (United States Air Force) and the RAF (Royal Australian Air Force) discuss plans. Writing on a chalk board, Japanese Zeros are in the vicinity. Men scramble and get into a truck. Planes to be used include: P-40 Kittyhawks, Cobras, P-38 Lightnings, Bostons, Beafighters, Bristol Beauforts, B-25s, and Liberators. Planes take off (:35-1:47). B-17 Flying Fortress in the sky. Bristol Beaufighters fly. Allied planes fill the sky. Liberator comes in from another base (1:48-3:00). Allied planes bomb Japanese ships. Ships on fire. Cockpit POV approaches smokey ship.

Made by the U.S. Army in 1942 for radio and electronics technicians, this educational training film shows the diode and the duo diode vacuum tube including the electron sources in the tubes and the symbols which designate varying types. It also breaks down electron behavior in matter and the effect of plate voltage changes. A vacuum tube (:15) and a large water-cooled tube (:19) are shown to be what has enabled continuous progress in radio. A span of various types and sizes follow (:24). A pilot in the cockpit of a bomber aircraft uses radio transmissions in order to stay in communication with units of his squadron as well as with his base (:34). Copper is pointed to and this material is one of many which has conductive properties (:57). Glass is shown as it does not readily conduct electricity and is often used as an insulator (1:03). Voltage is applied to the piece of copper and current flows through it (1:24). Heat is used to accelerate the current (1:43). The filament of a radio tube is heated by electrical current to depict this same action in a tube (2:05). An open filament type tube follows (2:16). The cathode is pointed to which is the sleeve surrounding the tungsten wire (2:41). The plate of the vacuum tube is shown (3:31). A span of military transmitting and receiving sets follow (3:58) with a single radio tube shown as well (4:05). Specific symbols which categorize radio tubes are broken down beginning with the designation of a simple tube (4:23). When plates are left uncharged, electrons remain near the cathode (5:16) and these then move to the positive plate when it is charged (5:26). The space charge is pointed to which rests between the cathode and the plate (5:54). Vacuum tubes are presented in a variety of sizes as...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2c2cda34-0feb-4cf4-86a6-6bdfa1bcf692/f14d284d-c4f4-4db7-8e57-7706531a5b97-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6soqKVqCJjaju1NpXxYFCw</video:player_loc><video:duration>912</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T09:22:12.487Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/61JGd3R9dgT3DFiCCgFjmH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/63ab0540-2512-407b-86d2-9969b8f2b040.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1946-47 OCCUPIED JAPAN HOME MOVIES  1st CAVALRY DIVISION  TOKYO  YOKOHAMA (SILENT FILM) 31244</video:title><video:description>This silent 16mm footage is a home movie shot by an American serviceman in Occupied Japan. Based on research we believe it was filmed during the 1946-47 and possibly as late as 1948. It is a companion of film 31234. The film features men of the "First Team" 1st Cavalry Division -- which was given the honor of leading the Allied Occupational Army into Tokyo. It also provides a fascinating look at Japan in this era, with its infrastructure heavily damaged and population struggling to rebuild. Indeed, the Yokohama city and port areas were subject to extensive redevelopment, so that few of those areas remain, except the Nozawaya Department Store.

Craig; a diver, author and soldier among other things, and actor Bob Stevenson which ran from 1954 to 1959. This particular episode looks at water champs of a different breed. It shows water skiing stunts, surfing as well as other water acrobatic stunts and features rare gymnastics footage shot at Muscle Beach, Santa Monica, California. The narrator is Colonel John D. Craig (:28) and Bob Stevenson hosts (:40). These water champs take up their various water sports for more personal pleasure and less for competition (1:22). Pete Peterson (2:40), former lifeguard and world champion, is seen water skiing. He dips in and out of breakwater and rocks with ease in the Santa Monica Bay (2:49). The zig zagging motion he is using (3:28) is called slalom water skiing. A helicopter swoops in and lifts him up and over obstacles in the water (4:29). Patty Saunders (5:10) leaps from a boat as Pete catches her while in motion. She steps back onto the boat with ease even though the pair is still moving at full speed (5:36). Pete takes 360-degree spins with a movement called the flying saucer (5:42). He moves in close to the boat and releases the rope in order to free ski which means to ride the hill in the wake of the boat (5:58). Pete conducts 360 degree turns on a chair (6:19). From a single ski, he moves onto the shoreline, swaps his ski’s and runs back out to the water (6:45). An up and coming eight-year-old water skier rides piggy back with Pete (7:04) and then uses the man as a surf board (7:13). A slew of surfers are seen riding waves to the shoreline near Diamond Head in Hawaii (7:34). Doubles ride the boards and women are lifted to the men’s shoulders (7:52). A female water skier and Pete ski on surf boards (8:52) and the woman steps from the board with ease onto the boat while it is still in motion (9:29). Two champion high divers (9:35) provide a demonstration of competition dives (9:47).

This 1945, black and white film "Official Films New Thrill" briefly recounts the meeting in the Crimea of Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill at the Yalta Conference. The movie then quickly moves into the final battle scenes of WWII: the crushing defeat of Germany at the hands of Allied forces, resulting in the crossing of the Rhine and the push towards Berlin. The film was edited by Leslie Winik.

Based on research we believe it was filmed during the Chrismas holidays of 1947, and no later than 1948 (due to Gen. Eichelberger retirement). The film features the U.S. Eighth Army Headquarters and the "First Team" 1st Cavalry Division -- which was given the honor of leading the Allied Occupational Army into Tokyo.  It also features everyday Yokohama streets and ordinary Japanese people of 1947. It also shows skiing in a Nagano alpine ski station, Kamakura temples and the the Kamakura, Great Buddha, and rare footage of a colossal Great Kannon (goddess of mercy) statue of Oofuna or Takasaki under restoration.

The ocean floor's main features and their characteristics are a major focus of the Navy’s oceanographic research program. It opens with images of a submarine in the ocean (:39) and a US Navy F-4 Phantom taking off from an aircraft carrier (:45) USS Forrestal.  Images from a closed-circuit television are retrieved from a deep-sea camera (1:13). As the population was expected to increase, scientists are seen studying marine biology for future potential food sources (1:24). Images follow of the ocean floor (1:26). Waterways are pictured which eventually lead out to sea (2:43) as well as glaciers which drag sediment to the sea as icebergs (2:45). A stream of molten lava pours from an active volcano (3:41) which forms hills, mountains and peaks (3:41). Another active volcano erupts in the sea (3:49) which leads to the formation of islands. Contents from a deep-sea corer including sediment and a star fish (4:20) are dumped onto a ship’s deck. A man is seen working with a precision depth recorder (4:25). The deep-sea camera is pulled up to retrieve photographs of the ocean floor (4:31). Deep submersibles -- possibly DSV-2 Alvin is shown -- carry scientists and researchers to the deepest parts of the ocean (4:47). Within the coastal waters and beaches, sail boats are seen lazily riding across the water (5:06), sunbathers enjoy the sand (5:15) and a lighthouse is pointed to (5:37) which is used as a beaker for traveling vessels. Commercial fishermen pull up a large fishing catch with a drag net (5:50). Oil rigs and drills are pointed to (6:16) as in 1948 the US claimed oil reserves and mineral rights from the US coast to a water depth of about 600 feet (6:21). A diagram is presented to show the break in the slope several miles out from the shoreline (6:43). Another shows the ancient river beds cutting across the continental shelves (6:57).

Dating to the 1930s, this silent 16mm home movie contains various family scenes, as well as footage apparently shot at the National Air Races in Cleveland, and at the Boston Airport. First at the head of the film is footage shot during what might be a vacation at a rustic cabin in the woods.  At 1:27 is footage shot of what is probably Lake Erie waterfront near Cleveland, Ohio. At 1:34 are shots from the National Air Show including biplanes flying in formation to form the letter "A" in USA. An autogyro is visible at 2:18. It's not clear what year this is, but the presence of the autogyro may mean it's 1932. At 2:49 a well dressed woman walks towards camera. At 2:52 two girls pose for the cameraman, and then push a baby carriage down the street. At 3:16 the occupant of the carriage is revealed to be a doll. At 3:38 is footage shot at Boston's Jeffrey Field, renamed Logan Airport in 1943. Jeffrey opened on September 8, 1923, and was used mainly by the Massachusetts Air Guard and the Army Air Corps. It was then called Jeffery Field. The first scheduled commercial passenger flights were on Colonial Air Transport between Boston and New York City in 1927.  First around 3:46, you'll see a Sikorsky S-38 or possibly an S-41. (If it is an S-41, it would likely have been one of those operated by Boston-Maine Airways in this era. The S-38 and S-41 also successfully operated for Pan American Airways and the U.S. Army.) At 4:37 a Colonial Air Transport passenger plane, a Ford Trimotor, is seen. Colonial also operated Fokker tri-motors. The company was founded in 1926 in New York City by Juan Trippe, who also founded Pan Am. Colonial operated pretty much exclusively between New York City and Boston, Massachusetts. At 4:47 the Sikorsky flying boat gets the signal for takeoff and clears the tarmac. At 4:58 the Ford Trimot...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4a2f08bf-7de7-491e-8243-b65c6a7d2c37/7355c81e-6237-46ec-814a-fde04143e0b3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aaiZWLxfYh5DeeDuAbHz8V</video:player_loc><video:duration>441</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T09:29:53.130Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pDQW8GjN9oBtFR6z2GSQAZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fc7fabb5-9628-4062-9b53-f5cf17980d44.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950’S SILENT 16mm HOME MOVIE NORTH CAROLINA “ BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY ” TRAVEL FILM  84934</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

The ship sailed for the Klavenis Lines, or K-Line, also known as the Kavounides Shipping Co. The movie shows the ship arriving in port, apparently with a load of Israeli passengers (the Israeli flag is visible at 4:27). Another flag is also shown in the film, apparently belonging to a tour company (:26). 

M/V Kentavros had a really interesting history, in that she began her life not as a ship of pleasure, but as the USS Barnegat (AVP-10).  The ship was a small seaplane tender in U.S. Navy commission from 1941 to 1946. After the end of her U.S. Navy career, the former Barnegat operated as the Greek cruise ship MV Kentavros from 1962 out of Piraeus, Greece  and finally was scrapped in 1986 at Eleusis, Greece.

Before Liz Smith and Perez Hilton became household names in the world of celebrity gossip, before Rush Limbaugh became the voice of conservatism, there was Hedda Hopper. In 1938, this 52-year-old struggling actress rose to fame and influence writing an incendiary gossip column, "Hedda Hopper's Hollywood," that appeared in the Los Angeles Times and other newspapers throughout Hollywood's golden age. Often eviscerating moviemakers and stars, her column earned her a nasty reputation in the film industry while winning a legion of some 32 million fans, whose avid support established her as the voice of small-town America. Yet Hopper sought not only to build her career as a gossip columnist but also to push her agenda of staunch moral and political conservatism, using her column to argue against U.S. entry into World War II, uphold traditional views of sex and marriage, defend racist roles for African Americans, and enthusiastically support the Hollywood blacklist. (Note: this text comes from the book by Jennifer Frost, "Hedda Hopper's Hollywood").This rare film features Hopper in a new role: supporting the war effort and bolstering the morale of civilians and troops alike.  It includes a segment on Jane Withers, showing her at the Palm Springs Rodeo.  and Bob Hope entertaining the troops.Jane Withers (born April 12, 1926) is an American actress. Beginning a prolific career as a child actress at the age of three, Withers is a Young Artist Award--Former Child Star "Lifetime Achievement" Award honoree, best known for being one of the most popular child film stars of the 1930s and early 1940s, as well as for her portrayal of "Josephine the Plumber" in a series of TV commercials for Comet cleanser in the 1960s and early 1970s.

This reel of silent footage shows several different aviation accidents. At :10, military officers are seen gathered in a field watching helicopters on maneuver.  At 1:02, a small cargo aircraft -- possibly a de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou -- comes in for a landing but ends up crashing into the ground. Starting about 2:00, an emergency landing is shown by what appears to be a U.S. Army Beechcraft T-42A Cochise, tail number 78053. The aircraft's front landing gear apparently failed to deploy. Ground crews put down fire retardant foam and the aircraft was guided in for a textbook landing. Starting at 5:00 a more tragic accident is shown, as a U.S. Coast Guard Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw rescue helicopter arrives to pick up an injured crewman. We don't know for certain but based on research by a viewer on Youtube, we believe this footage dates from 25 April 1961 and was shot aboard the seaplane tender USS Pine Island, operating off the coast of San Diego.  Pilot Lt. James H. Levey (CG Aviator #671) was performing a medical evacuation of SD2 James Taylor from the Pine Island. According to the accident report, the helicopter lifted off in a normal manner and was shearing to port to clear ship but also moved forward causing main rotor to contract the roller curtain cover aft port corner of the ship's hangar.  The rotor blade disintegrated and the helicopter fell on port edge of the seaplane deck and port aviation gas filter station. The helicopter caught fire and rolled into the sea, killing both the pilot and the patient. Rest in peace to them both.

Depicted in the movie and this extract are the ordinary young women of the fictionalized Young Guard  resistance movement. The Young Guard was based on many real resistance or partisan movements on the Nazi-occupied territories of the USSR. "The Young Guards" was a breakthrough movie of sorts, as unlike the previous Soviet movies which were mostly musical-format-based propaganda or theater-play inspired ones -- where actors would rigidly monologue and proclaim love to the Motherland -- this was a departure towards realism. The movie was personally watched and censored by Joseph Stalin who proclaimed that - "The Soviet resistance cell can never be shown as directionless or failing."  (The original version showed a failed and directionless resistance cell at the outset, whose mere two members are arrested and executed, thus creating the setting for the resistance work).  Notably, although it focused on Ukranian resistance fighters "The Young Guard" portrayed a multiethnic Soviet state resisting a monoethnic German invader.

Highlights:
0:16 The group are caught and imprisoned in the Nazi German temporary holding cell, later one young woman is carried in, presumably from an interrogation. They talk and attempt to cheer each other up
2:16  "I will say, no one will ever crush our people, is there such a people on this earth with such goodness of their souls. Maybe we will all die, but I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of dying, I just want to get even with all those... "
3:17 The group singing 
3:57 A German officer enters the cell and attempts to stop singing by ordering them. A Cossack is seen as well, accompanying them, because Cossacks were seen as ambivalent to the Soviet Government, and effectively a number of them rebelled against it. 
4:00 One of the women defies the German officer  by dancing a kazachok style dance, and intimidates him i...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fe03f42a-861a-4dac-8ddd-ecd0a59352e0/67acdff5-bd25-4eb3-94a7-ace526b064f3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xnhhxAqEGJceiFqyygEgdL</video:player_loc><video:duration>328</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T09:54:17.808Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sBMAE47EuEteFaQNmGpcs1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1d440083-5ee2-41a8-b78f-6711694eaa86.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HOLOCAUST / CONCENTRATION CAMPS LIBERATION FOOTAGE  WWII "Camps of the Dead" (SILENT) 34662</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Created with footage shot by the U.S. Army Signal Corps, CAMPS OF THE DEAD is a graphic newsreel that shows concentration camps as they appeared to the liberating Allied armies in 1945. This silent version was one of two produced; the other sound version runs about 20 minutes.  Full of horrifying images that vividly show the baseless and vile nature of the Nazi death camps, it is hard to even begin to describe the images herein.  The idea that anyone would even consider denying the existence of the Holocaust, after viewing images such as these, is hard to fathom.  These images are not faked, nor were they rare.  In camp after camp across Nazi occupied Europe, scenes such as these were commonplace, and atrocity the norm.  Woe unto anyone who should attempt to justify or minimize these scenes or defend the vile regime that perpetrated them.  Comments for this video have been restricted.  The description below comes from another archival source but is authentic to this print:Opening credits: "An AF Film Release" (Actualites Francais Films); "Sterling Films" ; "Camps of the Dead / They need no explanation, no titles.

Made during World War II as an industrial incentive film -- a propaganda film made to encourage war plant workers in their daily tasks -- ANGEL IN OVERALLS presents a look at the construction and performance of the Lockheed P-38 "Lightning". The film shows  P-38 fork tail devils in combat, flying aerial surveillance and intelligence missions, and more. The film features images of ace pilot Major Dick Bong at 7:01, and shows the aircraft's innovative features including the tricycle gear, forward-oriented cannon, and more. The film ends with footage of a P-38 on fire, with its pilot desperately trying to make a runway landing. He fails and the accident is fatal. The loss of the plane "can be corrected by you, who make the P-38, who make the thousands of parts that keep it flying."The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is a World War II-era American piston-engined fighter aircraft. Developed to a United States Army Air Corps requirement, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. Allied propaganda claimed it had been nicknamed the fork-tailed devil. The P-38 was used for interception, dive bombing, level bombing, ground attack, night fighting, photo reconnaissance, radar and visual pathfinding for bombers and evacuation missions and extensively as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks under its wings.The P-38 was used most successfully in the Pacific Theater of Operations and the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations as the aircraft of America's top aces, Richard Bong (40 victories), Thomas McGuire (38 victories) and Charles H.

It was the first exposition to be based on the future, with an opening slogan of "Dawn of a New Day", and it allowed all visitors to take a look at "the world of tomorrow". When World War II began four months into the 1939 World's Fair, many exhibits were affected, especially those on display in the pavilions of countries under Axis occupation. After the close of the fair in 1940, many exhibits were demolished or removed, though some buildings were retained for the 1964–1965 New York World's Fair, held at the same site.

After each Rose Parade it is traditional to have the floats parked for public view, and this film shows multiple floats from :10 to 7:20. This is amateur footage and some of it is badly shot, shaky, and has other problems. Some highlights include a showboat float at 3:46 (the film came out in 1951), a patriotic float showing the signing of the Declaration of Independence at 2:19 - 3:31, and at 4:19 there's an image of George Washington and American flags at 5:09.

The film was released by Erpi Classroom Films, a division of Encyclopedia Brittanica, with the assistance of the University of Missouri (:07)  The film focuses on the United State’s effort to protect natural resources and restore damaged land and waters beginning in the 1930’s. It opens with the image of an oil rig (:22) as petroleum is one of the most valuable resources that was being used up rapidly. Coal was another resource in danger as cargo trains move the resource on screen (:28). The refuse from these resources from factories and towns left waterways polluted (:36). Farmlands and forests were left to ruin by misuse (:58). A map appears showing that the continent had once been nearly half covered with forests (1:11). At this point in time only about 2/5ths of them remained (1:24) and only about 1/4th of good timber remained (1:32). Lumber jacks are seen hacking at a massive tree (1:44), however about 60% of every tree cut went to waste. After the removal of trees, land was subjected increasing amounts of forest fires (2:13) and a hunter is seen flicking a cigarette butt which turns the forest quickly into flames. One hour of burning would ruin trees that took nearly a hundred years to grow (2:27). A man in binoculars is peering out into the forest as federal and government agencies sought to protect forests (2:53). The sign for Bass River State Forest in New Jersey appears (3:03) as a campaign of education began to help prevent forest fires. Another attempt to protect the trees is seen as people hack away at underbrush which would catch flame easily (3:17). At a lumber mill (3:26) one log is getting trimmed and much waste was created by just the sawdust made from cutting the wood. An image of two young girls playing with toys in a wooden box is shown as this is what the lumber was used for (3:46) as well as for a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c7d40d82-2e9d-4334-9581-7fd84bc7dbbf/c946526f-5310-4261-a885-f9f4f6f1aaf9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qFbUfvX1EvYQGtynZvhd9g</video:player_loc><video:duration>615</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T10:25:51.103Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cmWP9egS4B7n6XbNJWnT4z</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/15b33105-914d-4304-9766-cee627b46fed.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1943 U.S. NAVY FILM  "RULES IN FOG"  SHIP NAVIATION &amp; SIGNALING IN FOG  BY WALT DISNEY STUDIO  89814</video:title><video:description>Rules in Fog.

This version was prepared for American troops and begins with a special introduction featuring Major General George V. Strong, the Chief of Military Intelligence.

Part 1: https://youtu.be/be1RMUfAYv8
Part 2: https://youtu.be/8jWS4ySiTu4
Part 3: https://youtu.be/eeyC1CJRZu8

Next of Kin was originally commissioned by the British War Office as a training film to promote the government propaganda message that "Careless talk costs lives". After being taken on by Ealing Studios, the project was expanded and given a successful commercial release.

After World War II and up until at least the mid 1960s, services in British Commonwealth countries continued to use The Next of Kin as part of security training.

Plot summary: The British army is preparing an attack on a German-held French port. German intelligence use agents in England to discover the intended target by piecing together information from different sources, including conversations overheard in pubs, railway stations, shops and other public places.

Originally, the commando raid depicted was intended to be a complete failure. However, the War Office were uncomfortable about showing such a defeat. In the final version, the raid is successful, albeit with heavy losses. Winston Churchill reportedly wanted the film banned as a threat to morale, but was eventually persuaded of the importance of its message.

It also examines the inevitable question--  why some USSR salaries are higher than others? It does this by discussing the difficulty of various jobs and the living environment of the workers. The next section explains the importance of electricity in production and the leading role of the government in planning the economy, as well as the importance of grouping similar types of production in general. Like most propaganda films, the argument at work is that Soviet economy and social system are better than Western counterparts. 

Highlights:
00:09 Criminal case against Penkovski O.V. and Wynne G.M. concerning unlawful acts described by Articles 64, Article 65 of the USSR's RSFSR Criminal code. Article 64 is Treason, Article 65 is Espionage.  This is the 30th of November 1962. Oleg Vladimirovich Penkovsky codenamed HERO, was a Soviet military intelligence (GRU) colonel during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Penkovsky is known for informing the UK about the Soviet emplacement of missiles in Cuba. He was arrested in October 1962 and tried and executed the following year.
00:15  The Supreme Court of the USSR
00:20 Penkovski 
00:23 Greville Wynne. Wynne was a British engineer and businessman who was recruited by MI6 because of his frequent travel to Eastern Europe. He became known for acting as a courier to transport top-secret information to London from Penkovsky. He was sentenced to eight years at Lubyanka prison. 
00:27 A camera team and the court audience, most certainly all are from the military and KGB.
00:30 Prosecutor, presumably V.V. Borisoglebsky "Were you a member of the two (opposing) intelligence agencies, simultaneously?" Penkovsky: "I decided to not make a choice, and worked with both intelligences."

The film shows the F-111 taking off, rendezvous with a tanker, and refueling approaches. It includes POV shots from inside the tanker aircraft as well as exterior footage shot by chase aircraft. The aircraft shown is tail #39773, S/N 63-9773, which we believe was the prototype F-111A aircraft. It is painted in a grey and white scheme.  It's not clear when the footage dates from, but the U.S.A.F. flight test program for the aircraft ran from 1964-1973, with some delays as a result of development issues with the plane's intake. This footage likely dates to the early 1970s. This aircraft apparently still exists and is a gate guardian at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. 

The F-111 is a retired American supersonic, medium-range interdictor and tactical attack aircraft that also filled the roles of strategic nuclear bomber, aerial reconnaissance, and electronic-warfare aircraft in its various versions. The word "aardvark" is Afrikaans for "earthpig" and reflects the look of the long nose of the aircraft that might remind one of the nose of the aardvark. Developed in the 1960s by General Dynamics, it entered service in 1967 with the United States Air Force. The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) also ordered the type and began operating F-111Cs in 1973.

The F-111 pioneered several technologies for production aircraft, including variable-sweep wings, afterburning turbofan engines, and automated terrain-following radar for low-level, high-speed flight. Its design influenced later variable-sweep wing aircraft, and some of its advanced features have since become commonplace. The F-111 suffered a variety of problems during initial development. Several of its intended roles, such as an aircraft carrier-based naval interceptor with the F-111B, failed to materialize.

USAF F-111s were retired during the 1990s w...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/63490813-b6b3-40ab-b314-47a7cb5eda88/735f295d-0590-46f5-b4dd-bcca6c78f7d4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dg6dd6T2VyZGQQLLoRQXSG</video:player_loc><video:duration>1462</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T10:50:18.200Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qHLC31N78gtJaxcSbhNzN9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3eb363be-0084-428f-a97b-88ec5cfb30a9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OFFICIAL FILMS NEWSREEL  D-DAY INVASION OF NORMANDY FRANCE   WWII  JUNE 6, 1944   84724d</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

The dates of this trip are unknown, but it's possible that this trip was in late June of 1946, when the Railway Boosters rode the final car on the "A line".  The Los Angeles Railway (also known as Yellow Cars, LARy and later Los Angeles Transit Lines) was a system of streetcars that operated in Central Los Angeles and surrounding neighborhoods between 1901 and 1963. It operated on 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge tracks. The company carried many more passengers than the Pacific Electric Railway's Red Cars, which served a larger area of Los Angeles.

At 1:03, the film contains a shot of an LARy trolley car with a WWII War Bond banner. A Los Angeles Transit Lines trolley bus is visible at 1:15. At 1:37 another trolley car with a WWII sign on the side "Dig Deeper for Fighting Dollars -- This is Your D-Day". At 2:02 the trolley excursion continues. 

Starting at 2:23, a London &amp; Port Stanley Railway interurban motor car with a pantograph is shown. L&amp;PS was one of the first railways to be built in Ontario in 1856. It provided connections between London, St. Thomas, Ontario and Port Stanley. It was built primarily to facilitate trade with the United States, particularly of wood and coal. The railroad also proved popular with local residents, particularly in the summer when many commuters utilized the system to travel to Port Stanley's beach. 

At 3:25, the Grand River Railway in Waterloo, Southwestern Ontario is shown. This line operated through 1955. 

At 5:38, a Lake Erie &amp; Southern Railway electric locomotive is shown.

The film contains a lot of animation, most likely created by the Walt Disney studios under contract with the War Department. 

The film explains various navigation procedures in heavy weather. The choice of maneuvers depends on the type of storm, where it lay over, type of equipment and the altitude of the mission to be performed (:20). Pilots are instructed to analyze the storm prior to encountering the surrounding clouds (:37). The procedure is similar regardless of whether or not it is a single storm, cluster of storms, or a line of storms (:51). Pilots are able to circumvent storms through either a thin or clear spot, by flying at a low level under the storm (:51) or by flying at a high level over a saddleback (1:19) between storm tops. It is necessary to always fly around isolated thunderstorms rather than through (1:40). The same procedure is required for storms located in a mountainous region (2:21). As thunderstorms over islands instead of the open sea tend to be much taller (2:47) they should be circumvented as high-level flying may not be possible. A wall of thunderstorms caused by a front tend to be too long to fly around (3:01), though a storm front is essentially a series of individual storms which enables possible flight through in between the storm centers (3:29). When it was not possible for pilots to determine clear or thin spots (3:58) they are instructed to figure out which direction it was moving in and head in at a right angle to avoid as much time within the storm as possible. Upon flying through the storm, if pilots experienced heavy turbulence, hail or lightning strikes they were advised to carry on forward as an attempt to turn around may result in them getting lost within the storm (4:17). Low level flying under the storm is recommended when encountering storms over flat terrain or the open sea (4:59).

It was shot by Leo Caloia, an amateur cameraman who filmed many subjects in Southern California in the mid to late 1940s. The start of the film shows interurban trolley car 1535 on Long Beach Blvd. This "blimp" car was typically mated with 1537.  Car 1519 is seen at 2:08 and 1529 at 3:21.  The Los Angeles-to-Long Beach passenger rail line was the longest-serving of all the Pacific Electric routes, running from July 4, 1903, until April 9, 1961. Ironically, it was both the first and last interurban passenger line of the P.E. system.

The Pacific Electric Railway Company, nicknamed the Red Cars, was a privately owned mass transit system in Southern California consisting of electrically powered streetcars, interurban cars, and buses and was the largest electric railway system in the world in the 1920s. Organized around the city centers of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, it connected cities in Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County and Riverside County.

The system shared dual gauge track with the 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow gauge Los Angeles Railway, "Yellow Car," or "LARy" system on Main Street in downtown Los Angeles (directly in front of the 6th and Main terminal), on 4th Street, and along Hawthorne Boulevard south of downtown Los Angeles toward the cities of Hawthorne, Gardena, and Torrance.

This term in the Russian geographical science is similar to Richard Hartshorne's "Earth's envelope" concept of the atmosphere, the earth's crust and the oceans, together with the living world. The film defines the concepts of lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere, and introduces the water, biological and the solid matter cycles. Then it speaks about the concept of the regional environments and enumerates some of the natural properties and processes these environments are subjected to. The later two thirds of the movie show different local environments – like the savannah, mountainous environments or river basins, and provides a general biogeographical description of them and mention where those are usually located. The last minutes of the movie focus on the human use of land for agriculture.  The movie was produced by Studiya LenNauchFilm aka the Leningrad Science Film Studio in the 1970s.

0:20-1:03 This was how the Earth looked 4,5 billion years ago – no blue skies, no free water, no greenery, only its stony carapace – the lithosphere.
1:03 However due to emission of various gasses from the depths of Earth an atmosphere has formed.
1:34-1:47 Water vapor was also expelled from the depth of Earth, progressively this vapor condensed and became the Earth's hydrosphere
1:48 It's hard to imagine, but once it rained for the first time ever on Earth
2:00-2:54 Millions of years later, there appeared first living creatures. 
2:54 As a result of the activity of all living beings, a biosphere developed - it both supports life and needs life to be able to exist.
2:54-3:10 The Lithosphere, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere and the biosphere are interconnected by a complex set of processes.
3:10-4:37 We're very familiar with one of such processes – the water cycle. From its inception on this planet, it has always continued and continuing today.

There’s no faster way to get out of an airport.” Palmer instructs Simpson to not move his head while he is swinging. 1:46 Hertz has “rent it here, leave it there. (drop off charges may apply).” 2:03 Simpson looks for his ball in the rough. 2:06 Hertz has exciting new cars, like Continental Mark VII, Ford Thunderbird and the sporty Mustang convertible. 2:10 “You can always depend on Hertz”. 2:28 Simpson improves his method for a successful swing, and his ball lands close to the hole on the putting green.

The footage shown dates to the late 1950s / early 1960’s and the film was released in 1961. It follows a band of whale hunters described as South Africans, Norweigians and Scotsmen, as they go through the process of searching for and harpooning whales in the South Atlantic. It opens with the information that whale hunting has been conducted since antiquity (:22) though modern whaling had been improved through scientific methods (:31). The crew are seen aboard a 500-ton catcher ship during a seventh month long hunting voyage in the south Atlantic waters (:36). The crew heads for whale feeding grounds (:46) while preparing hunting equipment. One man is seen loading seven bags of TNT into grenades that slip onto the harpoon nose (:50) which will be triggered inside of the whale (:59). The Captain of the ship was also generally the harpooner and he prepares the harpoon gun (1:10). A half-pound of gun powder is loaded into each of the shells that will fire the harpoon gun (1:15). The barbs are lashed down until the harpoon is fired and once inside the whale it will fan out killing the mammal quickly (1:37). The crew was about 100 miles from the African Cape of Good Hope (1:55) and here they begin to cross into the whaling area. Men of the crew spy through binoculars to catch the distinctive release from a whale’s blow hole (2:06) and one is spotted at (2:18). The helmsman maneuvers the ship in order to position the Captain for a shot (2:30). The first firing is ineffective (3:03) though they are quick to reload the harpoon gun (3:13). This time it is hit (3:43) and the 60-ton whale is drug in (3:57). While it is lashed along side of the ship, air and steam are pumped into the carcass (4:03) and an identifying flag is set out (4:16). The crew radio’s their position to a vessel which will tow the whale to a shore-based factory for processing (4:19). The whale hunters leave...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8e07ae08-d2b9-4a75-ae6a-f8d7422f4b03/4a5b7773-25a7-429c-9058-729e3063b63a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ixepVz7tb16mGvPTv2UYJg</video:player_loc><video:duration>507</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T11:25:30.860Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rBHR7DCaaqRLRSEpyZTyDH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/de04802c-ab2d-472f-8286-1a11d14d410e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  WILL HAYS IN HOLLYWOOD  WWI SURPLUS GOODS  MARION DAVIES  BELMONT STAKES 59824</video:title><video:description>This black &amp; white film, one of the "Yesterday's Newsreel" TV shows from the early 1950s, consists of newsreels about varying topics.

Once the troops are within range, the order to fire is given (6:07). The anti-tank rifle follows (7:18). It’s sights can be adjusted to 500 and 300 yards (7:22). For the demonstration a British light tank is used (7:30). The angle of impact for effective penetration is 30 degrees or less (7:35). An anti-tank rifleman sits with his Observer Protector Controller (8:59). As the blast of the gun can reveal positions to enemy forces, it is necessary to conceal it (9:15). The OPC spots enemy tanks (9:35). The men fire too early (10:05). One tank moves for the British forces as their position had been given away (10:29). The proper procedure follows with the same scenario (10:59). After the tanks are sighted, the men wait until they are within range (11:38) and make direct hits (12:09). The Tommy gun (12:29) is a short-range weapon most effective up to 50 yards (12:44).

It shows the use of celluloid which lead to the booming plastic’s industry, Edouard Benedictus’ innovation of using a thin layer of collodion on glass to prevent shattering and the silk of spiders which is the best material used for the cross hairs in periscope sights and bomb sights. The film is a part of a series hosted by John Nesbitt that were produced from 1938 to 1949 (:09). It was produced by MGM / Loews Incorporated (:23). The three trifles are pictured over WW2 era troops marching (:55) which are a billiard ball, an empty glass bottle without it’s cork and a spider and it’s web. As the Civil War ended, the US was cut off from it’s supply of ivory which had been used for billiard balls (1:24). A newspaper clipping shows an advertisement posted by Phelan Collander Company searching for a replacement material for ivory and offering a reward of $10,000 (1:26). Workers are seen opening samples of the materials sent from inventors in the testing room of the billiard company (1:39). Some of the samples are shown to crack upon impact (2:08) and others shaped liked eggs (2:19). One sample with ‘S 13’ written on it does not crack (3:07). Upon inspection of the note sent with the sample it is found to have been made with nitric acid added to cotton to form celluloid (3:20). This led to the plastic’s industry and plastic tooth brushes are seen being manufactured (3:33). The military was also able to utilize the material during a time of war shortages for war machinery and supplies (3:46). A sign points to Paris (4:05) as the second trifle is addressed. The story of the French scientist, Edouard Benedictus and his wife getting into a car accident which resulted in shattered glass permanently damaging her face in 1912 follows (4:15). The inventor was traumatized from the accident and set about to find a way to ‘beat glass’ (5:03).

Created by Convair in the early 1960s to promote the B-58 Hustler supersonic bomber, this film shows its role with Strategic Air Command as one part of America's nuclear defense.  It also does its best to defend the aircraft's loud "sonic booms" -- created as it broke the sound barrier -- against public criticism.  The film also shows the B-52 (seen after the six minute mark) and the Atlas missile.  The narrator comments that manned aircraft carrying atomic weapons can be recalled after launch, while an ICBM cannot -- a crucial difference that helped inform SAC's mission.The supersonic, delta-wing B-58 is shown in more detail at about the eight minute mark in the film.  The Convair B-58 Hustler was the first operational supersonic jet bomber capable of Mach 2 flight. The aircraft was designed by Convair engineer Robert H. Widmer and developed for the United States Air Force for service in the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the 1960s. It used a delta wing, which was also employed by Convair fighters such as the F-102, with four General Electric J79 engines in pods under the wing. It carried a nuclear weapon and fuel in a large pod under the fuselage rather than in an internal bomb bay.Replacing the Boeing B-47 Stratojet medium bomber, it was originally intended to fly at high altitudes and supersonic speeds to avoid Soviet fighters. The B-58 received a great deal of notoriety due to its sonic boom, which was often heard by the public as it passed overhead in supersonic flight.The introduction of highly accurate Soviet surface-to-air missiles forced the B-58 into a low-level penetration role that severely limited its range and strategic value, and it was never employed to deliver conventional bombs. This led to a brief operational career between 1960 and 1970, when the B-58 was succeeded by the smaller, swing-...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ec7a4d9c-2ead-40e7-b605-3f951a16d7ee/ddfe1aef-7b3c-4842-8343-96f518ab2bd0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vcF7d13saMXYTUhh8JPcBu</video:player_loc><video:duration>1668</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T11:46:43.200Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iZoqmyNPKXfRUjQjWBaTyH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7b6710ae-fd05-4b6b-b07f-b5a7047e9d41.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY  FORKLIFT, TRACTOR TRAIN &amp; HAND PALLET TRUCK SAFETY w/ AFRICAN AMERICAN OPERATORS  12804</video:title><video:description>This black &amp; white U.S. Navy educational/training film is about how to use a Hand Pallet Truck, Tractor Trailer Train and a Fork Lift Truck safely, properly and for what purpose. Copyright is 1951. One interesting feature of the film is that most of the employees shown in the film are African American. These type of jobs were some of the earliest for African Americans in the Navy. During WWII, in February 1942 CNO Admiral Harold Rainsford Stark recommended African Americans for ratings in the construction trades, since the Navy had a huge need for cargo handlers. The lack of stevedores for unloading ships in combat zones was creating a problem. Publicity surrounding the Port Chicago disaster on July 17, 1944 and the ensuing mutiny convictions of 50 black sailors spotlighted racism in the Navy and was a major impetus for Circular Order 48-46, published on February 27, 1946, which desegregated the Navy.

It depicts the court case prosecuting crimes against humanity committed during WWII by fascist collaborators Mykola Dufanets, Artem Bubela and Filip Rybachuk. The three were members of the Occupied Territories Reich Police and participated in rounding up the Jewish population to bring them to the ghetto in the Krymnoe Village of the Starovyzhevski county of the Volyn region in 1941.  The film shows the court proceedings but also contains state sanctioned criticism towards contemporary Ukrainian nationalists, the state of Israel and so-called “Zionist” Jewish organizations. The film ends with the sentencing to death of the three accused. (Among the charges were: massacre of 263  adult Jews and 125 children in 1941, and execution of more than 2800 people, or the entirety of the population of Korty-Lissy village in 1942, and the extermination of more than 2000 ethnically Polish Soviet citizens)

This color film is a promotional short made for the Warner-Lambert Pharmaceutical Co. Warner–Lambert  started in 1856, when William R. Warner founded a drug store in Philadelphia. Warner went on to invent a tablet coating process. The second half of the name came from Jordan Wheat Lambert, founder of the Lambert Pharmacal Company of St. Louis, famous for Listerine. "The Story of Dr. Lister" is a 1963 film about Joseph Lister (1827 – 1912),  a British surgeon and a pioneer of antiseptic surgery, whose research into bacteriology and infection in wounds, revolutionized surgery. Lister promoted the idea of sterile surgery while working at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Lister promoted Louis Pasteur's ideas and successfully introduced carbolic acid (phenol) to sterilize surgical instruments and to clean wounds. He is known as the "father of modern surgery".

It's rare material for any number of reasons -- and has been thoroughly examined by a Soviet era historian who provided these notes... 

The cameraman arrives by boat to Volgograd (then named Stalingrad) and continues by train to Moscow. A part of the footage was apparently censored. Depicted are the Kropotkinskaya subway station entrance, the rarely-seen and no longer existent Arbat Produce Market, and the constructivist House on the Embankment. At the time the film was shot the Great Purge was ongoing. Therefore, considering that the KGB officials confiscated apartments in and frequently visited House on the Embankment inhabitants to take them away to never to be seen again, it's somewhat amazing the footage of it wasn't censored. Research into this film is complicated by the fact the entire riverside district has been demolished not once, but several times – during the industrialization, during the World War 2 and in the modern times.

Highlights:
0:00 View of the Tsaritsyn from the Volga river , near the boat pier, now the Volgograd Main River Port. Tsaritsyn was renamed in 1925 to Stalingrad, then in 1961 to Volgograd. 
0:19 Possibly the semi-demolished building of the Kazeeff Clothing manufacture,  owned by Mr. Georgi Zakharovitch Kazeeff or Quazzieff (d. after 1920). (As far as we know their  descendants' last known address 1929 Union Street, San Francisco, California)
0:35 Arrival pier of the river station and the riverside hotel, by the looks of it
0:39 – 0:50 Official-looking building with a usual Soviet (presumably) red-and-white slogan hoisted on top «   ...SSR  ».
0:48-0:56 riverside houses
0:56-0:58 a GAZ-AA truck - a licensed copy of the Ford AA truck 
0:58 to 1:16 continued panorama of the riverside Tsaritsyn (Volgograd)

This film takes viewers to India in the 1930’s for the traditional festival called Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami. The film is narrated by Don Beddoe (:14) and it enters India through temple gates (:25). Buildings which are over 1,500 years old are shown with intricate architecture (:31). A close up shot shows sacred animals, gods and goddesses along the walls (1:58). A pool sits adjacent to the temple which had been used by an east Indian prince and his thousand wives (1:20). Inhabitants today are seen washing up prior to the holiday occasion (1:25). Dussehra is held annually in October (1:31). Market stalls are seen overloaded with dates, figs and other products as civilians run through out to make final preparations for the event (1:54). Mendicant priests are pictured with face paintings and jewelry (2:17). The holy bull called Nandi is seen as devout pass under it (2:28) and plant a kiss on it as they pray for strength and vitality (2:32). The streetways are decorated with flowers, tapestries and flags as pedestrians walk through in costume (2:39). A great lamp feast is enacted to celebrate the God Krishna’s victory over a demon (2:53). A woman lights a lamp over the sacred elephant’s trunk (2:57). Nuts and silver coins are set at the elephant’s feet (3:02) and the decorated animal is seen walking out (3:05). Crowds fill the palace of the Maharaja which rules over a territory of 300,000 square miles (3:22). The Maharaja and his tall umbrella then step out of the palace (3:35). The parade begins and the elephants are lined up (3:54) as crowds surround the procession. Flutes and drums are played along with the parade (4:18). As the Viceroy had been in attendance another parade was added which included a historic pageant show of various transportation methods over the years (5:0...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4a6b1e81-20f4-4e5a-8a81-03791ba666c0/7fc1eed7-6c89-4aff-b0d3-125252fa32e1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/abZuNs3kcxvVYJX2ZVx91q</video:player_loc><video:duration>523</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T11:53:58.875Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/joGGsgS6KUiUFCve94F9Rv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fc1d75d9-4e58-4b69-b52a-51c2fa3d1384.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MOSCOW METROPOLITAN SUBWAY  1970s SOVIET EDUCATIONAL FILM   METRO  54274</video:title><video:description>Moscow Metropolitan, a cinematographic excerpt for the secondary-school pupils post-1976.

Film introduces modern fighting aircraft, and why the F-14A Tomcat is a superior aircraft for air combat, produced by Grumman Aerospace Corp.  Early 1980’s film reviews the historical overview of today’s modern combat aircraft. Opening Scene: Fokker Dr-I, known as the “Red Barron” aircraft of World War I. 1:21 Early versions of "cat fighters" included the F4F Wildcat used in WWII, landing and taking off the ground. 1:28 F6F Hellcat, with a 19 to 1 kill-ratio, was the most valuable carrier-based fighter in World War II. The F6f takes off and lands on a battleship. 1:39 An F8F Bearcat was a lightweight air fighter of its day, holds the world speed record for propeller driven aircraft. 1:51 Korean War saw the F9F Panther introduced, the navy’s first jet fighter. 1:57 The F10F Jaguar was a concept plane ahead of its time. 2:11 The F11 Tiger, a long-time favorite aircraft of the Navy’s Blue Angels, is viewed flying in formation over the ocean. The Mach 2 version of the F11 was called the F-11F Super Tiger. 2:26 Each model aircraft was designed to meet the threat of its day.  2:48 Russian warships challenge our aircraft with sophisticated anti-aircraft systems and their own high-performance fighters, whose mission is controlling large areas of the world’s oceans. 3:44 Russia developed their own competitive aircraft with guided missiles, including the Tu-28 Fiddler, The Mig-25 Foxbat and the Mig-23 Flogger. 4:30 Russia introduced their long-range cruise missiles, which threatens the U.S. Navy's fleet. 5:08 The unique advantages of the F14 Tomcat to combat Russian military technology include: seek out and destroy all types of weapons, ability to find and destroy enemy targets at ranges in excess of 100 miles.

Depicted within it are, mainly, the sightseeing spots of Moscow – the Kremlin and its churches, Tsar Bell and Tsar Cannon, daily life scenes, and a couple of minutes of Saint Petersburg footage, all accompanied by well-enunciated, but not always accurate, narration, aimed at the intermediate-level Russian language learners.

Scenes include: 
0:37 "Egons Tomsons" is, almost undoubtedly, a self-renamed emigré of a Baltic descent. Early Soviet Union (up to the mid-30ies, as long as emigration was allowed) allowed people to change their name completely, including to the Western names, so an Ivan Petrovich Sidorov could become Jean-Laurent Pagny or James T(h)omson. However, as can be seen in this example – not all of them had the mastery of foreign languages or good luck to transliterate their desired "target" names correctly. This person had to add "s" to the end of their newly-acquired first and family names, as customary in Latvia, and the immigration officer in the US probably wrote it down with Latvian "s"''es, instead of without them, as was intended when the name was changed– that is "Egon Tomson". One can see pages and pages of those "official declaration of a name change" in the Soviet newspapers.

The materials shown depict the lives of Buryat people in the modern city, as well as in the countryside – as hunters, herders, and workers. The mainstay agricultural animals depicted are sheep, yak and reindeer. We see city scenes – people playing tennis, soccer, and working, in the postwar Irkutsk, as well as an shot of a research institute - "Ginzoloto", which played a key rôle in the postwar Soviet re-industrialization, discovery and use of the mineral ores, crucial for the nuclear industry. The movie shows the traditional culture and crafts of the Buryat people, particularly their pipe-smoking tradition, and the belief systems they practice – an animist ceremony at the local shaman's house and a Lamaist Buddhism prayer at an unidentified dazan-monastery.

The film starts with a couple of mounted cattle wranglers herding sheep.
1:00 Man and at a horse-driven cart crossing a stream, a girl in a traditional costume 
1:05 A couple of GAZ-AA driving on a muddy road, telegraph lines in the distance
1:18 Yak herd and a local woman-wrangler on a horse 
1:30 driving the herd through a village.
1:40 Children playing soccer/football in Irkutsk. 
1:51 The entrance arch to the Russian State Gold Processing Company, in Irkutsk, founded in 1870, which was transformed into the Siberian Semi-Precious Metals Institute in 1930 and later – in 1932, into "Ginzoloto" and became the Research Institute of Gold and Associated Metals in 1946. The building shown in the movie existed from 1870 to 1946 and was demolished and replaced by a new construction, housing the same research institute.

This silent footage dates to the time of the Martin P6M Seamaster flight test program, with the prototype the third P6M-2 production aircraft featured.  At the start of the film you will see this incredible amphibian in the air on a test flight. The aircraft is seen being moved to the water at :28, and then performing engine run up tests. At 2:12 are nice shots of the plane on its cradle. Starting at about 3:30 are high speed taxi runs. At 7:59 what might be the maiden flight of the aircraft is shown. At 10:30 a nice fly-by followed at 10:55 by a landing. Another landing is seen at 13:30. At 13:58 a takeoff is shown in close up.  At 18:39 the cockpit area of the aircraft is seen indicating it is "Ship 9", but it is unclear what this means since only five aircraft were built. At 6:40 the aircraft is seen in position to be mated to the retrieval dolly. Some of the frogmen who perform this task are seen on the docks. At 28:48 the aircraft's tail number can be clearly seen, 5878 -- the third production P6M-2.

The Martin P6M SeaMaster, built by the Glenn L. Martin Company, was a 1950s strategic bomber flying boat for the US Navy that almost entered service; the program was cancelled on 21 August 1959. Envisioned as a way to give the Navy a strategic nuclear force, the SeaMaster was eclipsed by the Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile. Due to the political situation at the Pentagon, the Navy promoted the P6M primarily as a high speed minelayer.The first pre-production YP6M-1 was completed about a year later, with testing resuming in January 1958. Five more were built in 1958 when the Navy announced that Harvey Point Defense Testing Facility in Hertford, North Carolina, would serve as the testing grounds for the fleet of Martin P6M SeaMasters. These aircraft were fitted with test versions of the full combat equipment suite and were used for bombing, ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/836bde58-0331-4a5a-8244-797331e544b9/b9a96385-a2c8-44fc-be97-431ed8b64921-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hefzeJLqxG1yo9JVh66hVx</video:player_loc><video:duration>1747</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T12:05:48.609Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dQEWMahRbEDRhuzDinrpAA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/569f1315-deb0-460a-9d7d-ad9ab439eccd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?"  1960s AUNT JEMIMA PANCAKE SYRUP COMMERCIAL  XD14304</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dating to the 1960s, this TV commercial presents the "new" Aunt Jemima Pancake Syrup with the tagline "What took you so long?"   The Aunt Jemima pancake mix dates to 1889 and became one of the most recognized brands in US history. Nancy Green portrayed Aunt Jemima at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, one of the first Black corporate models in the United States. The Aunt Jemima character shown here, with a bandana or scarf on her head, is based on the enslaved "Mammy" archetype. The character was criticized as an example of exploited African American women. In 2020, in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, the owner of the brand announced that Aunt Jemima would be retired "to make progress toward racial equality."

In 1923 the Yale University Press commissioned films based on the fifty volumes in their "Chronicles of America" book series. Ultimately, only fifteen episodes were produced. This film from 1924 is entitled "The Puritans". According to the book "Hollywood on the Hudson", Yale spent $1.25 million dollars making the films and then found it could not easily recoup the investment, because the films were not theatrically viable and most schools in that era did not have appropriate infrastructure or the experience using films to teach. However, Chronicles of America persisted for many years and was the first documentary series shown on television in 1941 when it aired on pioneering station WNBT.

The film was adapted by Evangeline W. Andrews and directed by the Film Guild's Frank Tuttle, who went on to sign with Paramount. The cast includes Arthur Hohl as John Winthrop, Audrey Hart as Margaret Winthrop, Henry Van Bousen and Roger Williams , Allan Brander as Thomas Dudley, Osgood Perkins as Thomas Morton and Royal B. Tracy as Archbishop Laud. The film attempts to tell the story of the early days of the Puritan settlements in New England, with dueling attempts to lead the colonists by John Winthrop and Thomas Morton, and intrigue in England involving an alleged violation of the Puritan Charter. This conflict pitted the avowed enemy of the Puritans Archibishop Laud and the "father of American colonization" and founder of Maine, Sir Ferdinando Gorges. Other subplots in the film include Roger Williams' belief that the Charter is unlawful because it will shortchange the Native Americans. (A study guide is really needed to fully understand the film, and this was one of the problems it faced upon release as the only guide that apparently existed was the book it was based upon.)

It was made in 1954 probably for officers or officer candidates, and likely shown as part of basic education. Opening scene: Jump-cut of Sailors in marching formation. Men who work together can accomplish more when they focus their efforts together. 0:40 Captain looks through binoculars aboard a ship. 1:00 Article 1211, U.S. Naval Regulations: “All naval men are required to obey readily, execute promptly, the lawful orders of their superiors”. 1:06 Requirements of the Commissioned Officer go beyond technical knowledge: it requires getting many to work towards a common goal; he needs to be a leader. 1:28 Commanding officer seen instructing small groups of naval men aboard and inside a ship. 1:57 Characteristics of historical naval leaders include: impulsive, deliberate, religious, forceful, magnetic, scholarly, decisive, humorous, enthusiastic, shy, aggressive. Each leader was different in their own way. 2:25 The common trait was they “got the job done”. 2:49 For teams to be successful, they must have knowledge and desire. A leader must be able to depart the technical knowledge to accomplish the tasks, and inspire the men to want to accomplish the goals of the team. 3:56 Human needs must be understood to motivate teams. Desires of men, women and children are noted. 4:25 Dramatization of naval men chatting informally about their individual “wants”, which influences human behavior. They are playing backgrammon. How men’s desires are satisfied, determines whether he is balanced or unbalanced. 7:40 Environmental conditions can affect how we react to situations. Naval men in classroom, deck watching, irritating shipmate in his berth.  8:42 Animation showing how negative stimuli can impact us, as they stress us minute to minute.

This propelled California into statehood as 300,000 flocked to the area in search of gold. The influx of gold reinvigorated the American economy. The first piece of gold was found by a carpenter named Jim Marshall (:46) at lumber mill in Coloma, California. A picture of the lumber mill is zoomed in on to show the tail race (:57) where he located gold in 1848. This first lump he had found is now held in the Bancroft library in the University of California (1:14). Marshall took the piece to the camp cook to have it boiled in soap in order to test it’s validity (1:34). Jennie Wimmer’s diary is shown which details the event as it had proven to be gold (1:55). Marshall headed to Fort Sutter to inform Captain Sutter of his find (2:04). The fort he constructed by the Sacramento River had been restored to it’s original condition (2:15). A cannon is seen outside (2:20) and the room where Marshall and Sutter spoke about the gold follows (2:25). Though they attempted to keep the gold a secret, news traveled rapidly (2:51). A piece in the San Francisco paper is shown (2:51) as well as in the Weekly Gazette (2:59). Books were printed on how to get to California to discover gold (3:07). France held a lottery with a main prize of a trip to California (3:20). Shots of pictures from these books follow (3:26). Each boasted that the effort would be easy (3:32). The rush began in 1849 (3:47). Miners arrived from the east coast, Europe and China and the three routes which they had taken are pointed to on a map (3:55). Poster’s promoting the journey to California follows (4:19). A span of some of the diaries kept by those on the ships making their way to California (4:44) tell of the journey. Details include many getting sick from rotten food, inhabitants having to sleep on the open deck as they were crowded and of expensive drinks fresh water as the ships made stop overs (4:57). Many arrived to tents for housing (5:16).

This is a 1950’s era, silent, color film. (We're not sure why it is silent -- either it was intended to be used with an accompanying lecture or this is what is known as a "test print" of the film made without a soundtrack.)  The film shows how the military uses color as a communication device, as an aid in combat, and for identification purposes.

This 1949 film takes a look at certain Native American people, including tribes of the Navajo and Apache tribes as they make an annual pilgrimage to the so-called "Indian Capital" of Gallup, New Mexico. The film was produced by Phil E. Cantonwine (:19) and narrated by Perry King (:24).  It is of the educational series call “Know Your Land” (:32). It opens with swaths of the Native American’s lands with their primitive dwellings erected onto it (:45). The Native Americans had managed to retain a simple and patient way of life that had been preserved over centuries (1:04). A Navajo squaw is seen working with wool pulled from the tribe’s sheep (1:30) which will be weaved into the large rugs that are world renowned (1:48). Riding along a modern highway with automobiles, is a caravan of Native Americans in carriages drawn by horses as they begin the long pilgrimage to Gallup (2:11). Annually, various tribes from the great plains and the entire south west head for Gallup where they worship and will conduct traditional dances (2:31). Native American banners are seen waving in Gallup (2:42) and the parade is to be opened by the American flag (2:51). Native tribes follow (2:57). The ceremonies conducted include dances which the natives do in the same way as their ancestors had centuries ago (3:19). Each movement is to be done according to the ancient law of exactness (3:32). These dances are the oldest form of American folklore that exists and tell tales of the prehistoric race (3:36). Women of the Zuni tribe walk through the center of the parade with decorated pottery balancing on the tops of their heads (3:50). Apache double dancers follow (4:25) who are masters of intricate step dances. Native American wagons are seen riding through the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ca88aa7b-f401-4d30-ac93-c8406018f9e3/48876ebd-5a03-4744-9335-1b1aa31d5070-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/r1yM4kAfvHV8U7q4LbcLZR</video:player_loc><video:duration>751</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T12:31:19.580Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5rsKNgDRVxdreUXbrojrAX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/21060bef-bf0e-4d09-b2f6-87e8e5654237.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SUMMER 1961 FOOTAGE OF MOSCOW  RUSSIA  SOVIET UNION   KREMLIN   LENIN'S TOMB (SILENT)  49804</video:title><video:description>This silent 16mm footage was most likely shot during and after the 2nd Moscow International Film Festival in 1961 (9 to 23rd of July).

It  is a Soviet documentary portraying the aftermath of the collectivization, which was begun in 1927, 8 years later. The film lauds the new methods of organization of agricultural labor – collective farms (kolkhozes), centered around the newly-created Machine-tractor-stations (see below) and shows various types of agricultural machinery in use during this period – notably the Caterpillar harvester, Fordson tractors and the first domestically-designed and manufactured Soviet tractor – the S-60. Portrayed are also the Soviet udarniks Pasha Angelina, Maria Demchenko, Konstantin Borin. The movie ends on the results of the plenary meeting of the 2nd all-Union assembly of the agricultural workers in 1935.

An interesting home movie from WWII, this silent 8mm film shows "Our Sailor Off to War". It shows a woman named Pat joining the U.S. Navy WAVES in July, 1943. (Note: the movie is a bit damaged from exposure to high heat and has shrunk, so bear with the visuals.) The film shows various scenes including New York's Rockefeller Center at 1:19, what appears to be the observation deck at 2:22, and St. Patrick's Cathedral. At 3:00, A.T. salutes in her uniform. At 3:10, she is shown again in her uniform with dress hat. At 3:26 sister (possibly her twin) is shown doing some sewing. At 4:14, February 12, 1944, Pat is seen posing with her first stripe. At 4:42 she is seen posing in Washington, D.C. with the Capitol building behind her. At 5:18 Pat is seen home again, in April, for a visit with her sisters. At 5:38 she is shown playing cards. At 5:50, November 1944, she receives a second service stripe. On leave in February of 1945, she is shown posing at 6:20 and walking with her sisters -- one of whom now has a baby. At 6:55 mother poses with flowers. The film ends with shots at the seashore and at 8:15 what appears to be either an MG, Austen Healey or Morgan sports car. At the end of the war, the WAVES were demobilized. The process started in October of 1945, and they were fully demobilized by the following year.

The United States Naval Reserve (Women's Reserve), better known as the WAVES (for Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service), was the women's branch of the United States Naval Reserve during World War II. It was established on July 21, 1942 by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on July 30. This authorized the U.S. Navy to accept women into the Naval Reserve as commissioned officers and at the enlisted level, effective for the duration of the w...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e64480c7-69cd-4452-b1b3-53e61cb5f28c/f4cc7a41-5f43-4aaf-88d0-d128da4fdf06-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/urcph3mpgqw7eaxJ8fJFMf</video:player_loc><video:duration>497</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T12:38:52.981Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3tTfQ3SxFrRanh3QpETEUo</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dadaebc5-8f06-42ab-a1d3-929bf194d49d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s BELL UH-1 HELICOPTER PROMO FILM  HOWZE BOARD FIELD TESTS SERIES  FORT BRAGG 26764</video:title><video:description>This film by Bell Helicopter, "The New Airmobile Army" shows tests of the UH-1 Huey helicopter as part of the Howze Board Field Tests series VI at Fort Bragg. These tests were critical in developing airmobile tactics that were employed during the Vietnam War, and give some insight into the reasons that planners had such great faith in the strategy, as the helicopter certainly seemed like a game-changer. (Note: our print of the film is silent, but it was likely released with narration and sound, or may have been prevented to staff with narration provided by a live commentator.)

The film is divided into sections including "Marshaling for the Assault" (:41), "Preparation of the Objective" (3:18), "Iroquois Assault" (4:13), "Where are the Helicopters?" (6:22), "Counter Guerrilla Operations" (6:50), "Troopers Rappel with Scout Dogs Flush Out Guerrillas" (8:21). At 11:19 the UH-1 is shown carrying various loads, in this case a Little John missile and at (12:02) a jeep. At (12:40) "UH-1 Armament" shows off the door guns and at (13:10) rockets. 

The Howze Board was the informal name of the Tactical Mobility Requirements Board created at the direct request of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara to review and test new concepts integrating helicopters into the United States Army. What became known as airmobility within the United States Army was a direct result of the Howze Board's findings. 

The UH-1 shown at :50 is equipped with rocket launchers and a door-mounted minigun. It and sister ships engage in a war games exercise in the film.  The Howze Board relied on extensive use of war gaming to support its final report, examining the utility of airmobility in larger operations and conventional warfare. For example, the main scenario was centered on the role an airmobile division could play in resisting a Soviet invasion of Iran. It also incorporated ideas forwarded by a team that visited Southeast Asia in June 1962.

Other interesting shots include: flare gun (1:21).

This silent compilation of footage shows Capt. Ed Musick, a pioneer pilot for Pan Am Airlines who was one of the most famous pilots of the 1930s. He was tragically killed in an accident while surveying a route for Pan Am in 1938. It's likely that this reel was part of a tribute to Musick, but the lack of a soundtrack means we'll likely never know.

This reel includes shots of Pan Am's Sikorsky S-42 flying boats. Pan Am Clipper NR-823M is shown at :59, flying over San Francisco Bay. At 1:53, a Martin M-130 flying boat China Clipper is seen at anchor. Musick boards. At 2:27 is rare footage inside the M-130 including shots of the sleeping arrangement. At 3:13 China Clipper takes off. At 3:29 mail is loaded on the China Clipper. At 3:45 Philippine Clipper is shown. At 4:19 the aircraft is shown over Alcatraz. 

Edwin Charles Musick (August 13, 1894 – January 11, 1938 in Pago Pago, American Samoa) was Chief Pilot for Pan American World Airways and pioneered many of Pan Am's transoceanic routes including the famous route across the Pacific Ocean on the China Clipper. Musick served as a flight instructor in WWI, and founded a flying school. In October 1927, he joined Pan American as it was just starting operations. He made the company's inaugural mail flight to Havana, Cuba from Key West, Florida, on October 28 of that year. Musick was promoted to chief pilot for Pan American's Caribbean Division in 1930. In 1934, Musick was chosen to make the trial flights for the new Sikorsky S-42 flying boat. During these stringent test flights, Musick collected 10 world records for seaplanes; one of the test flights was a non-stop flight of 1,250 miles (2,010 km). He was chosen to pilot the first two trans-Pacific survey routes for Pan American in 1935, laid out by Pan Am executives Juan Trippe, André Priester, and Charles Lindbergh, and t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/83cb0404-cb79-4563-9008-96e889397b67/7de1d75b-7776-4964-be1e-7b7f461d2cc4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hgUXWT63FZETnndr5ZgZJX</video:player_loc><video:duration>339</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T12:42:01.062Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nh6ownd7PRrPSV76Dym3oD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e4cab198-2833-43aa-b4c4-606c4d9eb739.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1932 SUMMER OLYMPICS, OLYMPIC VILLAGE &amp; EVENTS   LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA  HOME MOVIE (SILENT)  40144</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This home movie presents a fascinating look at the 1932 Summer Olympics, held at the then-brand-new Los Angeles Coliseum. The film opens with a shot of a neon sign welcoming visitors to the games. At :21, City Hall is seen decorated for the event. At :40, Broadway is festooned with flags and banners. The United Artists movie theater, which still exists today, is visible on the left hand side. At :55 the Olympic Village is shown. This was located in Baldwin Hills at the end of West Vernon Place and west of Crenshaw Boulevard, and consisted of 550 portable houses designed and built by H.O. Davis. The USA accommodations are shown at 1:53. At 2:00, the telegraph office is visible. At 2:21, the Republic of China delegation residences are shown. At 2:40 athletes greet one another at the village. The inside of a cottage is shown at 3:28. Each room housed two athletes, with two beds, two chairs, a dresser, and a lavatory bowl. At 3:40 an athlete wearing a Chinese uniform shakes hands outside the bungalow, and then does a warm-up. This is almost certainly the sprinter Liu Changchun, who was the only athlete to compete for the Republic of China. He competed in the 100 m and 200 m sprints, and also bore the flag of the ROC. The other persons shown probably include his coach Carl F. Song, Dr. G. L. Chee, and possibly Wm. Z. L. Sung who served as Chef de Mission for the Chinese. At 4:54, a member of the Italian team poses. At 4:57 an Indian, police motorcycle is inspected. 

At 5:11 the Los Angeles Coliseum is shown and crowds of people arrive for track and field events on August 7, 1932. At 5:43 high jumping. At 7:30, relay race.

This film takes a look at the Federal Service Joint Crusade which was comprised of non-government charities including the American Korean Foundation, Radio Free Europe, CARE USA and Project Hope. It dates to roughly 1963. The film asks the American people to donate to these charities to help with, among other things, the further rebuilding of South Korea. The narrator of is game show host John Cameron Swayze (1:27). The first charity looked at is the American Korean Foundation (1:32) and begins with scenes from the Korean War (1:47) that had left nearly four million refugees. Two million casualties were recorded and 100,000 children were left without caretakers (1:57). AKF built orphanages  (2:10) as well as clinics and hospitals (2:13). They operated mobile medical clinics to bring treatment to rural areas of the country (2:16) and set up vocational training schools (2:38). Youth learned building construction (2:39) and were shown how to use earth blocks to make homes for only $100 (2:41). They also provided 4-H clubs (2:58). Many people suffering from various diseases after the war’s end including 100,000 cases of leprosy. A patient is lifted into the back of a  jeep (3:18). A breakdown of what donations to AKF translated into follows (3:32) as well as a plea for donations. Radio Free Europe was founded in 1949 as an anti-Communist propaganda source. During the Cold War it was broadcasted to the Soviet satellite countries of Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria (3:57). Scenes from within the ‘Iron Curtain’ in eastern Europe follow (4:28) where there was heavy censorship. Contributions to this program enable RFE to broadcast news reports and analysis into these areas (4:52).

This film presents a series of female American champion diving and swimming stars in the late 1930’s including Helen Crlenkovich, Marian and Virginia Hopkins, Iris Cummings and Marjorie Gestring. It features areas such as the Vista del Arroyo pool in Pasadena, the Los Angeles Olympic pool, the Santa Barbara Biltmore pool and the Sunset Tower Hotel Pool in Beverly Hills. It is presented by Pictorial Films (:07) and produced by Frederic Ullman Jr. (:29). It opens with a graceful slow-motion dive by Helen Crlenkovich. She was one of the most successful athletes in the world on the three-meter spring board and the ten-meter platform. Here she was the recent runner up in the springboard diving championship and is seen practicing for the National Meeting at the Pasadena’s Vista del Arroyo pool (:59). In national as well as Olympic competitions there are five compulsory dives as well as five elective dives which can be of varying difficulty (1:05). Helen is seen conducting the half twist dive (1:28). At the age of 17, she was the only American girl whom had competed in this competition (1:42). She gracefully completes a full twisting one and a half dive (2:01) as well as a single layout somersault dive (2:20). The back dive (2:38) is compulsory in all diving competitions.

It is presented by Official Films (:12) and opens with a promotion to buy more war bonds. (The US Treasury Department pushed for citizens to buy more bonds in order to finance WW2.) (:22). US forces are seen heading into Higgins boats for the landing on North Africa (:31) and British and US invasion fleets moved towards Africa from the British Isles (:49). This was the largest amphibious force in military history up to that time consisting of 850 ships (1:03). As the armada was about to hit the Strait of Gibraltar, a message from a Royal Navy destroyer (1:21) dictated the unit was to land on the Algerian coast west of Oran (1:30). Troops touching down on the shoreline completed the mission and quickly flanked Oran (1:07). The Allied powers now had control of the majority of the Mediterranean coast of Africa and headed towards Tunisia (2:00). 

In the summer of 1942, the Russian army moved in on the River Don to join Allied fighting forces (2:24). Soviet Infantrymen are seen rescuing their wounded under fire (3:11) as well as Russian snipers picking off Germans (3:29). The Red Army resistance made the defense of Stalingrad possible (3:43). 

For the advance on New Guinea, Allied forces moved in against Nippon armies (3:52). An aerial shot of the Owen Stanley Mountain range follows, which is where the Australian forces, under command of Douglas MacArthur and General Sir Thomas Blaney, were fighting Japanese forces at (4:00). Allied forces were able to push the Japanese from their main base of Kokoda (4:36). Australian forces are seen moving up through the jungle and breaking out into combat (5:19). New Guinea was the Australians first line of defense as it was only 100 miles across the water from Australia (6:07). New Guinea, once captured would become part of a vital anchor including the Solomon Islands guarding Australian and UN supply ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c6626c9c-6016-4158-be5f-cbf537a33c1b/3797c242-0ea3-4a6b-8eea-79bd69f80cd0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/quR7VqiGZPfkBR96KkFLqk</video:player_loc><video:duration>583</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T12:51:12.222Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2QSp6MpuLiCRFgoLUJ9WdC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/32044ef4-7e5d-4dc8-b78d-30b43a654edc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1944 USMC TRAINING FILM “ THE MARIANAS OPERATION PHASE 1 SAIPAN PT 2 ” 43844</video:title><video:description>This film provides a detailed look at troop movements during the first phase of the Mariana’s Operation as US forces moved to capture Saipan during WW2 in 1944.

It opens with the scheme of maneuver for the 2nd Division during the second part of the operation (:22). It shows where combat team 8 was to land on D-Day (:35) as well as which points they were to secure (:47). The landing of combat team 6 (1:12) follows as they were to cover the left and the north flank. Combat team 2 was to conduct a diversionary demonstration at Tanapag Harbor (1:28). The scheme of maneuver for the 4th Division is also shown (2:22) as they were to seize Aslito Airfield (2:44). Control vessels hoisted the Wave 1 flag (3:26) as they move for the beaches (3:29). Shoreline installations are hit in preparations for the landings (3:38) and troops unload onto the beach (4:02). Air support covered artillery, tanks and men moving in (4:39). The 2nd Division hit light resistance at first, which increased (5:08). The 4th Division hit heavy resistance upon landing (5:23). Mines were located and dangerous areas were marked off (5:48). The front line which was established by late afternoon on D-Day is shown (6:14) as well as the line which the 4th Division had created (6:20). A radio station was captured by elements on the right of the 2nd Division (6:28). The 4th Tank Battalion of the 4th Division and the 2nd Tank Battalion of the 4th Division began to land (6:39). Three battalions of the 14th Marines and 2nd battalion of 10th Marines also landed (6:42).

Initially viewed as a daredevil adventure for the wealthy, plane flights were now available to all walks of life. The film opens with a shot of passengers asleep on a British Airways Flight creating an image of trust and relaxation in air travel (:18). In 1980, only about 5% of people in the world had ever been on a plane (1:52). Passengers previously had been financed by freight which was mostly air mail letters (2:29). By 1980, about 11 billion pounds of cargo was handled by the London Airport annually (2:34) and about a thousand flights were handled daily (3:12). The film follows a family of three with a daughter; Katie, who is flying from London to Australia and they are seen inside the London Heathrow Airport (3:22). This is one of the busiest airports in the world where planes take off and land in about 60 second intervals (3:32). Fuel storage tanks are shown stored below the tarmac (3:42). Fuel is pumped into the wings (3:42). When Heathrow opened in 1946, it handled 63,000 flights that year and by 1980 it handled the same amount in one day before lunch (4:04). The family is seen getting Katie’s passport and bags checked (5:16). The first Channel air service flew 60 years ago (6:11) and footage of an old plane which could only carry one passenger follows (6:19). By the 1930’s, twelve passengers could be taken (6:40). A shot of the inside of the plane draws on the notion flying was initially for the wealthy and carefree (6:45). As the family takes Katie to her flight, intermittent shots of celebrities and planes appear including the Beatles (7:02), Elizabeth Taylor (7:07) and Marilyn Monroe (7:13). Modern air travel commenced in the 40’s with the innovation of the jet engine (7:48).

These were bi-weekly shorts shown to American military personnel during WW2. They often included a newsreel and, on occasion, a cartoon. This one, issue #38 from 1944, features ‘Private Snafu in Target for Tonight’ which depicts the issues experienced by  Snafu when he fails to use proper anti-malarial procedures. Newsreels then show the liberation of France from German occupation in 1944. 

The Private Snafu cartoon shows the war between man and mosquito, and begins as mosquitos wait in line at an Induction Center (:49) to depict the drafting of mosquito troops. Mosquitos move to the X-Ray Department to ensure only the mosquitos with malaria were to join the war effort (1:08). The mosquitos take part in basic training (1:27) including bayonet practice (1:49), and target practice (1:50). Obstacle courses (1:52) include GI repellant, aerosol cans (2:03), fly swatters (2:30), and fly paper (2:32). The Mosquitos go over photos from an air reconnaissance mission to find a hole in the enemy’s defenses (2:59). The final flier returns from his mission with a photo of Private Snafu with his buttocks exposed through a hole in his netting which was to protect him from mosquitos carrying malaria (3:28). He is made the target (3:34). The mosquitos load up on high octane malaria and hit Snafu who lands in the hospital  (4:24). Next, the film turns to the Eiffel Tower in France (4:54). A U.S. Army tank sits below it (5:04) and a massive crowd gathers in the streets as Paris, France is liberated on August 25th 1944 (5:14). Celebrations ensue as the people of France had been under Nazi occupation for four years (5:35). French women are seen kissing American G.I.s (6:15). A look back at what Paris was prior to the invasion follows including the cafes in the artist sections (7:13), night clubs and cabarets (7:20), the Champs-Elysees (7:43) and the Notre Dame Cathedral (7:49). Paris’s history...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e9996965-d402-4a96-a4c3-b39439c97a73/44957920-6b86-4f32-affb-eb0a9dbd4868-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uR4obvT4mF5kYrHoHwmGtn</video:player_loc><video:duration>1005</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>2</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T12:56:16.998Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hGTdyiQPoQRevKmbrNVuDe</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/17e96a2e-3988-4456-bb5a-69cc6ca23250.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BATTLE OF SAIPAN 1944 &amp;  NEW DEAL NATIONAL RECOVERY ADMINISTRATION / NRA 1933 NEWSREEL 57684</video:title><video:description>Made for schools in 1960, this black &amp; white educational film presents two newsreels of historic events.

This silent footage shows scenes from the Liberation of Paris in 1944, and probably dates to August 26th, the day that Gen. Charles DeGaulle entered the city. The film begins with shots of civilians moving across hastily built barricades. At :26 (the title card says "A little clean-up") signs of German occupation are removed by civilians and German signposts knocked over (:49). Pockmarked buildings are shown as well as anti-tank barricades (1:02) at Place Joffre. Barbed wire and a burning tank are shown (1:32). At 1:37, an L-5 Birddog aircraft lands on the Champs Elysee. At 1:55 shattered portraits of Hitler are shown to the camera. At 2:12 a title card notes that it is the 26th of August, and that Charles de Gaulle is seen in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral. A G.I. marches with French women down the street while hordes of troops are seen. At 2:50 de Gaulle is shown in front of a troop of armored cars. At 3:11 flowers are laid at the grave of the unknown soldier at the Arch of Triumph while a band plays. de Gaulle lays flowers at 4:30 and salutes the French flag. At 6:12 masses of civilians celebrate in the streets and de Gaulle and the Free French Army parade through the city. Following them are American and British as well as other Allied forces. It was still a dangerous place to be: at 9:57 a title card notes that isolated gunfire erupted near the Place de la Concorde, and panicked people are seen escaping or moving towards cover. The wounded are removed at 11:15. More gunfire occurs at the 12:30 mark, as snipers in a tall building shoot down at the crowd. A perpetrator is removed at 12:58. At 13:10 an American tank sits in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral and de Gaulle is seen briefly once again.

The original title was “Strange as it Seems” and they ran about every two to three weeks from 1934 to 1942. This Universal Pictures film was produced by Joseph O’ Brien and Thomas Mead (:15) with Alois Harvrilla as the narrator. It begins with a triumph over handicap as the woman shown had suffered a stroke at 48 which paralyzed the left half of her body and yet she continued to make impressive embroidery with only one hand (:31). She had spent hours daily learning the craft and one of her completed works is displayed (:54). She was able to hold the thread between her knees (1:04). In the Santa Cruz Mountains, a place known as the ‘Mystery Spot’ the laws of gravity seem to not apply (1:55). A woman is seen attempting to swing a weight from side to side in a seemingly titled house here. Another woman is shown leaning in order to hold her balance (2:05). One of the strangest phenomena about the place was that if one were to climb the side of the wall it gave the sensation of being supported in space (2:09). These strange effects were believed to have been caused by either a buried meteor or a mineral deposit (2:16). Compasses are confused as north becomes west (2:25) and radios were rendered useless. A pair of women show how a ball only moves uphill against gravity (2:30). Illusions with height occur as a pair that are of similar height move back and forth on two slabs of cement, which gives them the appearance of one being taller than the other (2:42). A spring in Pine Gulch Arizona has the unique capabilities of layering everything in stone (3:12). This was due to the high concentrate of calcium carbonate which turned a nearby tree as well as this man’s hat’s into stone (3:38). Next, we move to the Coral Castle in Florida with Ed Leedskalnin (4:12) who used primitive tools to lift 15-ton pieces of coral with ease. His life’s work was to build this city (4:24) which still stands today.

The film opens with an airport as cargo shipments are loaded in (:11). Air lift traditionally was conducted by converted passenger planes (:24) however, by the mid fifties a new plane was developed specifically for air lifting capabilities and this was the C-130 Hercules manufactured by Lockheed whom also presents this film (1:07). Ground workers push a cargo load into a C-130 (1:20) which now provided adequate compartment space, improved floor strength, an expanded truck bed height, integral cargo handling, restraining provisions (1:26), and high flotation rough landing gear (1:31). The Hercules is seen taking to the skies with it’s cargo load (1:38) and air dropping them shortly after (1:48). In addition to peacetime services, the craft was efficient for military use. Some of it’s diverse functions for the military include its use as a weather ship, patrol plane, tanker, hospital ship, command post as well as a photo mapping aircraft (2:11). A US Navy C-130 follows (2:12) and it was also particularly used as a gunship. The Hercules further proved its value through assisting in relief efforts for emergencies such as earthquakes, floods and famines (2:37). The sick and wounded were transported with ease with this new craft (2:41). As all nations are always seeking to expand, about 37 nations had employed the craft as a country builder (2:54). It was first produced in 1954, though over the next twenty years it continued to improve and satisfy both military and peacetime needs (3:13). The craft shown at (3:25) resembles the original Hercules in only it’s exterior appearance as more powerful engines had been installed as well as new radar and avionics systems. In 1964, the C-141 Starlifter (4:22) was introduced and provid...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/78fdd1b4-8f54-4572-b677-923f482ade24/5a2dc637-9c20-4dab-963c-8ce4c8d827de-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fWxZphFWWW5S7oWP73NXqG</video:player_loc><video:duration>833</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T13:10:42.145Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nzMnbe6GQoCD4exUeRQD1s</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/73fd717e-a276-45bf-bf1a-dda8843f4a47.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LUBLIN, POLAND LIBERATED   TEXAS IN WAR EFFORT  DALLAS  HOUSTON  SAN ANTONIO 1944 WWII FILM 95904b</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dating to 1944, these two newsreel segments are extracts from a longer Army-Navy Screen Magazine of the Screen. The first segment concerns the Polish city of Lublin,  after the retreating Germans have been forced out. The second segment shows the State of Texas and its contributions to the WWII effort.  

Opening title: Report From Lublin (:06-:13). Bombed out buildings in WWII. On July 24, 1944, the advancing Russian Army drove Germans from Polish city of Lublin. Liberated Poles are shown as Russian T-72 tanks rumble through the town. Women give soldiers flowers. Bombed out buildings and a tank. The city was in ruins. Tanks on the city streets. Refugees walk the streets. Lublin Castle, a prison where many Poles including Jews were taken - is an awful sight: dead bodies strewn all over the place, shot and killed by the Germans, bodies left where the fell, note: gruesome footage of bodies. People forlornly examine the bodies. People shown grieving outside the castle. Lines of bodies. Bodies taken out of the building. Over 700 were killed. People mourn and have a service for the dead (:14-2:58). Note: during the German occupation between 1939 to 1944, between 40,000 and 80,000 inmates, many of them Polish resistance fighters and Jews, passed through the walls of the Castle. Just before withdrawing in 1944, the Nazis massacred all remaining  prisoners.

Presented by the United States Navy for the Dental Corps, this film coincided with efforts to increase the number of dental officers as well as the quality of care. The mid-1960s film opens with Dr. Robert Gordon, a U.S. Navy ship’s dental officer, working on a patient in an exam room before beginning to speak about his relationships with other navy medical team members on board (00:25-01:35). At 01:36, the doctor begins a flashback of his journey to working with the Navy, detailing his time finishing medical school and his road from the Naval Reserve to the Navy Dental Corps. From 08:10 to 09:50, the doctor reflects on his daily life in the corps including his standard duties and his satisfying naval  community home life with his wife, Anne, and their son Brian. At 09:55, Dr. Gordon reflects on his first assignment at sea aboard the USS Toledo navy heavy cruiser as part of the Pacific Fleet. Visits to Tokyo, Hong Kong, Waikiki and other destinations are shown with brief footage (10:40-11:00). The joys of the journey back to home port begins at 12:00 with depictions of naval officers and others reuniting with their family members. Family visits and leisurely drives in San Francisco are shown to emphasize why the narrator loves his time in the Navy Dental Corps so much (15:05-16:35). Retired dental officer Captain Bingham is described starting at 16:40. Dr. Gorden’s interactions with the captain are depicted, underscoring the conversations they have that reiterate all the benefits of their profession. The film shows the world-class National Naval Medical Center located in Bethesda, Maryland. Up-close footage of dental procedures at the center are shown following the introduction of the center (18:31-20:20).

Directed by Albert Mahuzier and filmed by Gaston Madru, "Reseau X"  is a documentary that shows the French "secret service" trying to rescue Allied pilots who were shot down over Occupied France.  The film also shows the French underground and its support of the liberation of France. The airmen shown in the film are U.S. Army Air Force 2nd Lt. Alfred Richter, Sgt. Robert Peterson, and First Officer James Stewart of the RAF. The film was primarily shot on 12 June, 1944, just about a month prior to the liberation of Paris. Post war it was shown at Cannes in 1946.  

The film opens with images of German identification papers burning (:42). A civilian leads his horse and cart through the streets (:57). Resistance posters are seen on city walls (1:16). A farmer with a scythe rakes a field and looks up as a plane crosses overhead (1:38). The plane is hit and an explosion follows (1:44). Three survivors from the carsh -- Allied airmen -- approach a farmer in the field. He must decide what to do -- the threat of what could happen to him is shown through a montage showing a Vichy poster that emphasizes that the penalty for helping enemy airmen is death. Now the scheme to get them out of France is put into action.  Members of the Resistance -- a business man and a peasant sit alongside one another on a park bench (2:54) and they are seen greeting one another again shortly afterwards on a dirt road (3:16).

The Douglas XB-19 was the largest bomber aircraft built for the USAF until 1946 and it’s first test flight is shown (1:12). It took off in Santa Monica, California (1:16) and is compared to a pursuit plane to show its massive size (1:21). The first minute of the test run cost a whopping $83,000 in insurance (1:30). It is seen heading for the runway (1:38) and Major Armstead brought the plane down into an army field near Riverside (1:49).

This silent training film shows loading of 100 &amp; 500 pound bombs onto a P-51B Mustang and a demonstration of the "Joe Barton Technique" of vertical dive bombing. The Joe Barton in question was a North American Aviation test pilot who did extensive work with the P-51, including flying the lightweight XP-51G prototype on August 9, 1944. (Barton sadly perished in a B-25 accident in 1946). The film was apparently shot at Muroc AFB (later Edwards) and likely dates to 1943-44. At 1:53 some of the famous hazards of Muroc are shown in the form of rough, dirt roads.

The P-51B Mustang shown in the film was equipped with the Packard built Rolls Royce Merlin 61, V-1650-3. The P-51B also was capable of hauling increased loads to 1,000 lbs under each wing, and no more nose mounted guns (no room with the Merlin) and a redesigned belly scoop.

This film takes a look at the 2nd Battle of Guam in July through August of 1944. It involved U.S.forces moving to recapture Guam which had been captured by Japan in 1941. Guam was under 1,600 miles from Tokyo and Manila (:32), another reason the U.S. wanted to recapture it. Japan used the island to guard their vital sea lanes. After the fall of Saipan, Guam was pointed to as the next target (:43). US convoys make their way towards Guam (:52). Pre-invasion bombardments carried on hitting shore installations for 17 days as the initial invasion date on June 16th had to be postponed (1:04). This was the longest pre-invasion bombardment in the history of the Pacific war (1:18) and naval guns are seen blasting the shoreline (1:18). US Air crafts strafed and bombed Japanese positions (1:25). 400 tons of explosives were dropped and an aerial view of bombs popping along the ground follows (1:28). The invasion plan included two assaults (1:36). The first involved the 3rd Marine Division hitting Asan Point and the second involved the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade reinforced by the 77th Infantry Division hitting Agat. July 21st was chosen as D-Day (1:51). The 1st Provisional Marine Brigade loaded into amphibious landing crafts (1:56) and the 77th was to follow.  Major General Andrew Davis Bruce, Commander of the 77th, moved his troops inland (2:23). The extended pre-invasion bombardment left little enemy resistance (2:29). The 3rd Marine Division invaded in the northern sector (2:39) and footage of the first troops landings follows (2:45). Japanese mortar fire fell upon the men as a landing craft was hit (2:58). Naval guns fired back (3:09). Marines were forced to dig in and wait for air attacks to thin out enemy concentrations (3:25). They move inland through jungle terrain (3:45) and cross the Assan River (3:50). Intense combat picked up over the weekend (4:01).

Founded in the USA in 1894, Dunham-Bush is one of the oldest global commercial air conditioning products manufacturers.  This film from the 1960s gives an overview of the company and its subsidiaries which included Mack Trucks, The Signal Companies, and real estate and housing, among others. One of its manufacturing facilities is pictured in Riverside, California (1:20) and the headquarters in West Hartford, Connecticut (1:24). A span of other cities they are located in follows (1:26). Inside the facilities, design engineers and skilled craftsmen first develop prototypes (2:03). These are then tested in labs and an example is given of a test on a unit cooler (2:42). Once tested, it moves to one of the plant facilities (2:56) Dunham Bush is one of the few in the industry that constructed all of it’s own major components (3:25). Computer controlled machines are seen at work ensuring precision (3:54). The compressor was their most valuable component (4:18) and a number of these are seen as they produced large amounts. Some were to go into condensing units (4:55) and others into package chillers (5:18). Quality checks are conducted throughout the process (5:33). The screw compressor rotors are looked at next as Dunham Bush is one of the leading manufacturers in the industry of these (6:27). Another important component is the coil copper tubing (6:59) and they are mechanically bonded together for extended heat transfer (7:14). Often their products required a protective shelling for which they used sheet metal (7:49). The computerized sheet metal punch press is seen put to use (7:33). As the sheet metal needed its own protection, layers of paint are sprayed on (8:12). Their line of combustion products also includes the ‘Iron Fireman Burn...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9086bdfe-72fd-4b0b-82f9-f5f07b1686f3/b7b90e83-2c96-413b-b7af-1df91ceb93b7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iR7oQaMVFaYBt28RSPnPan</video:player_loc><video:duration>798</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T13:28:28.842Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pC8DrjYcNF1FhNsh7vwsmP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5d8d1c0d-f189-490b-9e38-d15ba8c1b6f9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1945 U.S. NAVY FILM   COMBAT BULLETIN NO. 2    LIBERATION OF LUZON, PHILIPPINES 34014</video:title><video:description>This film features the US Navy efforts in removing Japanese forces from the Philippine Islands at the end of WW2 in 1945. It was produced in cooperation with the US Army Pictorial Services (:14) and begins with an air strike on Manila (:27). Carrier planes of the 3rd fleet targeted enemy shipping in Manila and air fields and other installations including Cavite Navy Yard on Luzon Island (:39). Aerial footage of the attacks follows (:53) during which two enemy destroyers were hit, one light cruiser was damaged and thirty large and medium cargo vessels and tankers were sunk or damaged (1:51). Japanese propaganda footage follows depicting the attack by the American forces (1:57). A siren sounds off as the raid began and pedestrians flee in the streets (2:35). The commentator announces 50 citizens were killed in the strike (3:31). As American forces landed on Luzon Island, they were greeted by Philippine civilians (4:25). Landing crafts took troops northwest of the Bataan peninsula (1:36). Elements of the 38th division moved inland without opposition (4:43). Leaflets were dropped by US forces warning the Filipino people to keep roadways clear (4:59). The 38th headed towards Bataan (5:06). US forces delivered food supplies to natives who were working to rehabilitate ruined cities (5:14). The 25th Infantry Division moved towards the heavily defended San Manuel (5:36). As they neared, resistance increased (5:48). Japanese tanks defending the area were dug in and turned into pillboxes (5:58). Artillery was moved up from troops of the 14th Corp in order to hit Clark Field (6:45). Abandoned Japanese crafts in Clark Field follows (7:17). A second front was set up on Luzon (7:28) as tanks and infantry men of the 8th Army’s 11th Corp were dropped northwest of Subic Bay (7:31), moving into a flanking movement on Manila.

This was the final mission before the manned lunar landing mission and was to test the final components for that mission. It opens with shots of the moon’s surface retrieved from the Apollo VIII mission with Borman, Lovell and Anders (:49). The Lunar Module, whose testing was the prime objective, is shown at (1:25). The Apollo-Saturn V is seen after being mated with all modules and launch vehicle (2:19). On January 3rd, it was transported to Launch Pad 9 at Complex 39 (2:25), at the Kennedy Space Center (2:25). The ground control room on here (3:08) was under the direction of Dr. Kurt Debus (3:10). Mid-count the launch is called off by Dr. Charles Berry as all three astronauts exhibited minor cold symptoms (3:16). The final countdown is then continued on March 3rd, 1969(3:29). James McDivitt (3:34), Russel Schweickart (3:35) were both to move from the Command Module to the Lunar Module during the mission and had to wear heavier suits (3:43). The Command Module pilot, David Scott is seen wearing a lighter suit as he would remain in the Command Module (3:48). The White Room is pictured with astronauts arriving (4:00) and preparing to enter the space craft. Rocco Petrone is seen next as the launch director (4:13). NASA officials who monitor the steps of the terminal countdown include Dr. George Miller (4:28), Dr. Werner Von Braun (4:29) Dr. Thomas Paine (4:36) and Frank Borman. Ignition (4:52) and take off (5:16) are filmed and airborne cameras catch the engine shut down and separation of the first stage (6:18).

This WWII training film takes a look at the procedure for a proper take off in accordance with the US Army Air Force. It follows a narrative of a bushy eyed pilot in training as he takes his first flight with his instructor as well as his first solo take off. It is an Official Training Film of the War Department (:11) and was produced by the 1st Motion Picture Unit (:22). It opens with the fresh pilot, Mr. Blake as he distractedly bumps into peers while watching another plane take off and fly over the air field (1:11). His peers jokingly mention Mr. Blake was eager to learn everything in a day and head out to Berlin tomorrow as this was filmed during the second world war. He then nearly backs into his instructor who informs him he will be flying a Vultee BT-13 Valiant; which was the basic trainer aircraft used during WW2 (1:54). The BT-13 had a 450-horsepower engine and it’s rudders, trim tabs, and variable pitch propeller are pointed to (2:22). As Mr. Blake is about to jump into the cockpit, the instructor stops him to check the baggage compartment (2:27) and the gas tank as the gas gauge may be incorrect (2:41). The pair then climb into the plane (3:25) and the instructor will walk Mr. Blake through the entire process. Some of this includes the plugging in of the headset, fastening seat belt (3:35), unlocking controls and adjusting his seat and rider pedals (3:43) as well as setting the altimeter (4:04) and raising the flaps (4:07). It is best practice to start on the fullest tank (4:24) and to keep both of the tanks within ten gallons of one another (4:24). A control check and instrument check both must be conducted prior to starting the engine (4:37) and a second check is to follow after it has been started (4:42). Mr. Blake then adjusts the throttle (4:57), turns the ignition switch on and begins to build up fuel pressure to drive the engine (5:08). As the engine kicks on the propellers begin spinning (5:27).

This film depicts the Panama Canal and ship transport through it. It gives a step by step demonstration of what a ship goes through while passing through the locks of the Panama Canal. It is presented by World Travel Guide Pictures (:08). An ocean liner will take the trip through the Panama Canal (:23) and it opens with a map showing the United States and South America and how the canal had cut 7,500 miles from the old sea route between coasts of North America (:36). During the gold rush, travelers used the route around Cape Horn (:55). A cartoon drawing shows the three phases of the transit (1:38). These include the climbing of the water staircase which are on both sides of the approach, the crossing of Gatun Lake (1:47) and the descent to normal sea level afterwards. Between each of the lock systems of the canal, lay 35 miles (1:56). The cartoon then shows the lifting of the boat in the first phase which raise it 85 feet above sea level (2:00). The Pedro Miguel lock is pointed to (2:23) as well as the Miraflores lock as the ship descends back to sea level. After the cartoon demonstration, a real-life enactment follows (2:55) as the ocean liner approaches the locks. As it enters the first lock, water bubbles up from the Gatun Lake which push the ship higher (3:03). The ocean liner weighs 34,000 tons and it is lifted at a rate of three feet a minute (3:37). Once it is appropriately elevated, large gates open for the second lock, and here the lifting process is repeated (4:01). Once the vessel has reached the elevation of Gatun Lake, it is able to move through using it’s own power (4:14). A more detailed explanation of what happens while ships move through follows (4:45) as electric tractors initially draw the ship forward.

Shot in the then-brand-new Yale Bowl in 1914, this rare, silent film shows highlights of the Harvard-Yale football game and features shots of the notable personalities involved. This includes Walter Camp (:29) the "Father of American Football", first year Yale head coach Hinkey (:41), Yale team captain Bud Talbot (:54), Massachusetts Governor Walsh (1:03), Harvard team captain Charlie Brickley (1:18),   The game played on November 21 was the inaugural event at the Yale Bowl. William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt were among the spectators, a throng estimated at more than 70,000 but less than 74,000. Harvard won the day, 36–0. The day's memorable play was a 75-yard touchdown run after a recovered fumble by Jeff Coolidge. Coolidge gathered the Yale fumble with Harvard leading by two touchdowns (see 2:55).  "Yale has the Bowl but Harvard has the punch" was reportedly repeated often in the press the next day. The Bulldogs finished with a 7–2 record under Hinkey. The Crimson finished with an undefeated 7–0–2 record under seventh-year head coach Percy Haughton, with the two ties coming at the hands of Brown and Penn State. Charles Brickely ended up as a football coach in college and for a pro team that was a predecessor of the New York Giants. It's not clear what became of Bud Talbot.

Designs for the Rose Bowl and Michigan Stadium were influenced by the Yale Bowl Stadium, 276 Derby Avenue, West Haven, CT.  When the Bowl was built by developer Charles Ferry, the Colosseum of Pompeii in Italy was the only other known structure in the world engineered by digging a hole then using the displaced dirt to build the surrounding wall or berm. The Bowl had the largest seating capacity for a stadium in the world upon completion of construction. Head coach Carm Cozza likened the feeling of running through the tunnel then onto the Bo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/52519d26-bc37-47df-a49b-356bcb241ea3/bed996b0-899e-4912-8f20-31840f70b6bf-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bazjtUMH6aYRZZExNtu7Ck</video:player_loc><video:duration>228</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:04:01.094Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iwZECmWGHme6296BeovreE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6b9209b0-0c69-4ecf-9036-13a980aac556.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" RAILROAD BUILDERS "  CONSTRUCTION OF TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD  PROMONTORY, UTAH  85304</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This film about the construction of the first Transcontinental Railroad in the United Staes opens with images of the 1,500 miles of desert and plain which separated California Territory from the United States in the 1850s (:11). The continuous railroad line that ended up being built would cover 1,912 miles and was built between 1863 and 1869. Surveyors were sent out on fact finding missions in order to discover what the best route would be (:32). In 1853, a survey of five possible routes were inspected (:26). This took years to undergo, yet the country was still at odds as to which one was the best (1:28). Dangers existed along the way as one group of surveyors was attacked by Native Americans in Utah (1:47).  The Pacific Hotel is shown in 1859 (2:03) in Council Bluffs, Iowa. This was where a civil engineer named Grenville Dodge and a lawyer (at the time) named Abraham Lincoln met and discussed the Central Route as being the most ideal along the Platt River (2:31). Three years later a deal was signed choosing this very route and giving the job to Central Pacific and the newly created Union Pacific railroad companies. Grenville Dodge would eventually be named Union Pacific’s chief engineer. A flyer signifying the beginning of the Civil War (2:58) reads “Volunteers Wanted”. As the south withdrew from congress it was now possible to take the Central route (3:14) and another flyer reading “Opportunity for Investors” appears and private investors were still sought out during the war. A plaque on a door reads “Ezra Wardman Securities and Investments” (3:23). Builders were to receive grants for land along the route as incentive. The Union Pacific was contracted to build from Omaha (4:27) and Central Pacific, was to build eastward (4:32). Survey parties are seen heading out to plan the route (4:57) with grading and construction...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8dff354f-71b7-4cd5-9216-a18ca1dc67e4/a76ac505-cc5f-4bda-a319-3443123e1c7b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iwZECmWGHme6296BeovreE</video:player_loc><video:duration>735</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:04:49.857Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uTYd4tijByfsBUuStKFHfR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d9f6c64c-f45d-4d99-8dc8-c43e79d02e52.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CATSKILL MOUNTAIN NARROW GAUGE RAILWAY   CATSKILL TO PALENVILLE NEW YORK (SILENT FILM) 42374</video:title><video:description>This film, "The Narrow Gauge, Catskill Mountain Railway" was produced by Blackhawk in 1959. It was made from one of the two 35mm "paper print" positives in the Library of Congress that were the original copyright registration copies deposited with the library on March 9, 1906, by American Mutoscope. George L. Wasson and Harold Schecht of Catskill, N.Y., supplyied much of the historical data on which the text titles are based. 

The Catskill Mountain Railway was a 3-foot gauge line that started from Catskill Landing on the west bank of the Hudson River about thirty miles south of Albany and ran, some thirteen miles, via Leeds and Cairo Junction, to Palenville, the legendary home of Rip Van Winkle 1:00. Five people stand on the back of a rocking railway boxcar and go under an overpass 1:23. The camera follows the rocking car 1:45. The boxcar goes over a bridge 2:02. Women waive their handkerchiefs from the back of the car 2:35. The engine billows black smoke as the train goes around sharp turns, passing houses 3:06. The line from Cairo Junction to Palenville was a “summer only” operation for the benefit of vacationists 4:15. The engine continues and now 2 more people have been added to the back of the boxcar totaling 7 persons 4:55. At Palenville, the CMRy connected with the Otis Elevating Railway, considered one of the most remarkable pieces of engineering in the world at the time it was built 5:25. The camera pans up and views an overpass and a very steep hill ahead line with track 5:42. By means of a cable over a mile in length, the cars were drawn up the steep mountain wall to the summit, and elevation of 1600 feet in only 10 minutes 5:46. The engine begins its towed climb to the top of the mountain 6:27. The large white building scene at the top left of the screen is Catskill Mountain house, built in 1823, and a showplace for more than a century. This famous building was demolished in the late 1950s 6:45. A boxcar comes the other way down the mountain 7:25.

Official War Department Training Film. Restricted. 1– 204. Produced by The Signal Corps, in collaboration with The Chief of Air Corps. Celestial Navigation. Position Finding on the Earth. This 1940s era, black and white film covers the complex but straightforward calculations a navigator needs to determine his position on the earth and how to use celestial objects to do so. The film opens with a man tracking star charts. An animation shows the Earth and points to its different zeniths and geographical positions 1:16. If the bodies geographical position on the Earth is known then its meridian is also known, as shown in this animation 1:40. Using the Greenwich meridian which is the zero meridian for longitude, the Greenwich hour angle can be measured, it is the angle at the pole between the meridian and the celestial body on the Greenwich meridian. It is measured to the West through 360° 2:07. Another type of hour angle is shown. It is the angle at the pole between the observer’s meridian and the meridian of the celestial body 2:23. It is also called the Local Hour Angle or LHA 2:38. The Air Almanac is consulted 2:50. Navigator determines his longitude 3:03. The Greenwich hour angle of a celestial body represents the longitude of its geographical position 3:12. Greenwich hour angles and local hour angles are calculated 3:39. Zenith distance is calculated. It is the measurement between the geographical position to the observers position 4:05. The angle from the line through the center of the earth to the observers Zenith is always 90° as this animation shows 4:23. Animated starlight hits the earth at an angle 4:40. In this particular case the angle of the starlight is 60° making the Zenith distance measurement 30° or a complement of t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/06b9f55f-9997-4c8f-9686-6ab371c80501/de2b92b6-cd73-459c-ad73-52846e57f221-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1Qb9VxdSCfSQYAEQGDx7La</video:player_loc><video:duration>839</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:09:03.716Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7i4cP1W6EZdCCfoVA8auzx</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a13c4e6a-0240-4cfe-88a2-d36bba16585b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PIONEER 5 DEEP SPACE PROBE  1960 NASA DOCUMENTARY  " THE PATH OF VENUS " FILM  ATLAS ROCKET 85064</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

JOHNSON  WORLD RECORD SPEED FLIGHT  MUROC AFB 1948 (silent) 79114</video:title><video:description>This brief film from 15 September 1948 shows Major Richard L. Johnson landing at the end of a record-setting flight of the then-new North American Aviation F-86A-1-NA Sabre, 47-611. Johnson set a Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) World Record Speed Over a 3 Kilometer Course, flying the sixth production North American Aviation F-86A-1-NA Sabre at Muroc Air Force Base, California (renamed Edwards AFB in 1949). Note the gun port doors on this early production aircraft. They opened in 1/20 second as the trigger was pressed. Proper adjustment was complex and they were soon eliminated.

The air temperature was 70° F. (21° C.) with very little wind. Making four consecutive passes at an altitude of 75–125 feet (23 to 38 meters), the Sabre averaged 1,079.84 kilometers per hour (670.98 miles per hour) — 0.889 Mach. The slowest pass was 669.830 miles per hour and the fastest was 672.762 miles per hour (1,077.987 and 1,082.705 kilometers per hour, respectively) — 0.8875–0.8914 Mach.

This was Major Lowe’s second attempt for the speed record. At the National Air Races in Cleveland, Ohio, on 5 September, official timers clocked the wrong airplane, and then on a repeat pass, a timing camera jammed. During that attempt, Major Johnson flew under a light airplane (possibly flying into the nearby Rancho Oro Verde Airport) which had wandered onto the course, missing it by about ten feet (3 meters).

Major Johnson was awarded the De la Vaulx Medal by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale.

North American Aviation claimed that any F-86 coming off the assembly line could beat this world record speed. This record stood until 1952 when it was broken by an F-86D Sabre.

47-611 was from the first production block of thirty-three F-86A-1-NA Sabres (originally designated P-86A) and was built at North American Aviation’s Inglewood, California, plant. Its NAA serial number was 151-38438. The airplane was withdrawn from service 16 November 1955 and assigned as a ground trainer f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2b06046f-6808-4f40-9ac5-62139ec952db/268464a7-ae9f-4ec5-9e68-60b701b16d31-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6j91yGnTn4dB1isa3FQ9fx</video:player_loc><video:duration>43</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:11:31.730Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/j8u7ozCR7s7cCrMPwzMXjb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cb52cada-d3be-430e-b29b-047ab9a41090.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" SEA OF CONTENTION "   U.S. NAVY SIXTH FLEET IN MEDITERRANEAN SEA VS.

The purpose of this trip was to pick up their new Sirius monoplane, which they would then fly back to New York.  

Lindbergh became the first true global celebrity—and sparked a worldwide craze for flying—with his 1927 nonstop solo flight from New York to Paris in the custom-built Spirit of St. Louis. With that plane donated to the Smithsonian Institution the following year, and with Lucky Lindy’s de-facto role as the global ambassador for aviation expanding by the month, he needed a new, more versatile plane to suit his expanding horizons. He turned to Lockheed which was already known as an innovative designer and manufacturer of some of the world’s finest and fastest aircraft.

"Censored" is one of 26 Private SNAFU (Situation Normal, All F*cked Up) cartoons made by the U.S. Army Signal Corps to educate and boost the morale of the troops. The SNAFU character was created by Theodore Geisel (Dr. Seuss) and Phil Eastman, and most were animated by Warner Brothers Animation Studios. They were voiced by actors including Mel Blanc and scored by Carl Stalling. This cartoon "Censored", depicts the lengths to which Private SNAFU will go to sneak an uncensored letter in the mail — with terrifying results. Fortunately it all turns out to be a dream, but SNAFU is so shaken that he censors his own mail. The film was obviously inspired by the mass censorship of personal letters by the Army during the war, to reduce the chance that enemy spies would be able to gain intelligence by intercepting them. 

Much of the military correspondence during the war took place via V-mail, short for Victory Mail. This was a hybrid mail process used as the primary and secure method to correspond with soldiers stationed abroad. To reduce the cost of transferring an original letter through the military postal system, a V-mail letter would be censored, copied to film, and printed back to paper upon arrival at its destination. The V-mail process is based on the earlier British Airgraph process

During World War II, both the Allies and Axis instituted postal censorship of civil and military mail. The largest organizations were those of the United States, though the United Kingdom employed about 10,000 censor staff while Ireland, a small neutral country, only employed about 160 censors. Both blacklists and whitelists were employed to observe suspicious mail or listed those whose mail was exempt from censorship. In the United States censorship was under the control of the Office of Censorship whose staff count rose to 14,462 by Febru...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c34c36c6-910f-4f9a-96c3-1e80e2e45116/64ec7cf6-2f94-4fb2-873f-44708c154a5e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/q7JSQ98UHdVUbfLB3VGNVd</video:player_loc><video:duration>308</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:13:50.624Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kRDD8MYcWDd8QFHYDJUdRd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d0802c9d-9fff-4766-b2cc-34cb28a6355f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>USS FORRESTAL AIRCRAFT CARRIER FIRE " TRIAL BY FIRE " MOVIE 1967 (Print 2) 54884</video:title><video:description>Made in the wake of the disastrous 1967 fire aboard the USS Forrestal, TRIAL BY FIRE recounts the incident and discusses some of the mistakes made by fire fighting teams that made the situation much worse than it might have been. It also shows the numerous systemic and leadership failures that nearly resulted in loss of the carrier. The film also shows the courageous work of the carrier's crew and that of support vessels, to stop the flames and rescue the wounded, and makes clear that the Navy has every intention of changing policies and procedures to make sure that this type of incident does not occur in the future.The background on this film is this: In July 1967, a devastating fire broke out on board the aircraft carrier USS Forrestal. An electrical anomaly had caused the discharge of a Zuni rocket on the flight deck, triggering a chain-reaction of explosions that killed 134 sailors and injured 161. At the time, Forrestal was engaged in combat operations in the Gulf of Tonkin, during the Vietnam War. The ship survived, but with damage exceeding US$72 million (equivalent to $511 million today), not including the damage to aircraft. Future United States Senator John McCain and future four-star admiral and CINCPACFLT Ronald J. Zlatoper were among the survivors.The fire left 134 men dead and 161 more injured.[2] Many aircraft and a large amount of ordnance were jettisoned to prevent them from catching fire or exploding. Twenty-one aircraft also sustained enough damage from fire, explosions and salt water, to be stricken from naval inventory, including seven F-4B Phantom IIs  and three RA-5C Vigilantes. The fire also revealed that Forrestal required a heavy duty, armored forklift for use in the emergency jettisoning of aircraft (particularly heavier types such as the RA-5C Vigilante) as well as heavy or damaged ordnance. Sailors had been forced to manually jettison numerous 250 and 500 lb bombs by rolling them along the deck and off the side.On 31 July, Forre...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a0cc46a1-271a-4e16-86db-f54720dfdd36/0bd79e28-ce60-4f0d-a52c-c67fd2039521-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kRDD8MYcWDd8QFHYDJUdRd</video:player_loc><video:duration>1007</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:16:45.177Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/r27PJpB3zCqbttZJgqDdT8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a34c7aac-ac97-4576-a72e-ce3766eaf7dd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s SCIENCE SCREEN REPORT  FLARE / EDALHAB UNDERWATER HABITAT AQUANOTS FLORIDA 70554</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

This film is provided by Sandoz Wander and is of the series called ‘Science Screen Report’. Sandoz conducted research for materials which were to improve quality of living such as pharmaceuticals, colors and chemicals (1:04). This episode will take a look into new methods of ocean research in the late 70’s including FLARE and the marine habitat called EDALHAB. It is narrated by Peter Roberts (1:36) and made in cooperation with the National Science Teachers Association. Engineering Design and Analysis Laboratory Habitat (EDALHAB) was a horizontal cylinder 2.6 m high, 3.3 m long and weighing 14 tonnes was built by students of the Engineering Design and Analysis Laboratory in the US. From 26 April 1968, four students spent 48 hours and 6 minutes in this habitat in Alton Bay, New Hampshire. Two further missions followed to 12.2 m. In the 1972 Edalhab II Florida Aquanaut Research Expedition experiments, the University of New Hampshire and NOAA used nitrox as a breathing gas. In the three FLARE missions, the habitat was positioned off Miami at a depth of 13.7 m. EDALHAB is apparently now displayed at SeaCoast Science Center in New Hampshire. 

The film opens with an aquanaut research expedition which was taking place off the coast of Florida (2:12). Recently, NOA sponsored a study of coral reefs (2:21). To do so, aquanauts used a moored catamaran called Lulu (2:29) connected to cables which provide power to the three-person mobile habitat 45 feet below called EDALHAB (2:38). University of Massachusetts students used a steel hull retrieved from the government initially to build a crude underwater shelter (2:46). The government later gave NOA a grant to build EDALHAB (2:55). This is a small open bottom vessel about the size of a small SUV ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ca9c6a41-8bb0-445f-b301-9600f1064ced/02455b8c-e1f8-4330-9567-d2992d132ccb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/r27PJpB3zCqbttZJgqDdT8</video:player_loc><video:duration>591</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:17:22.861Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gnHtnxY7U61YAwgZb8pmip</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4d955545-cec3-4c8e-9e81-fa45c8941b63.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960’s US ARMY TRAINING FILM “INTRODUCTION TO SACCS”  EARLY INTERNET SYSTEM COMPUTERS B-47 29364</video:title><video:description>This film provides an introductory look into the ITT 465L SACCS; a Cold War era network of computers and communication systems for command and control of the Strategic Air Command that helped inspire the Internet. The Strategic Air Command Central Control System (SACCS) was designed to decrease reaction time to dangers of a possible enemy attack. The film is presented by International Electric Corporation (:09) and opens with a  SAC base (:21). Within the base are Atlas ICBM guided missiles (:45), ground alert for B-47 Stratojet bombers and crews (:52). During the Cold War, SACCS’ reaction time to dangers had been lowered from hours to minutes (1:23). Continuous contact is necessary between the system of global bases (1:44). The system assists SAC with automatic transmissions, processing and display of information (2:41). This system is also able to store data for complete war plans (3:02). Some of the prime contractors and subcontractors who took part in this development were IEC (3:27), ITT Kellog and ITT Laboratories (3:30), as well as IBM data processing equipment (3:42). The building containing IEC’s prototype test facility follows (4:08) which is where the system equipment will be tested. Following the tests, SAC is provided with an operational interim system (4:26). This phase is known as IOC which is followed by the final phase of COC (4:35). A precursor to the COC phase is FOCI during which a single computer will be installed at SAC (4:49). There are three major subsystems which include data transmission, data processing and data presentation (5:22). The first contains automatic communications equipment and transition channels which link SAC bases as well as to  headquarters (5:37). Within each, is an Automatic Data Transmission Control Center (EDTCC) (5:56). Electronic Data Local Communications Complexes (EDLCC) are set adjacent to the EDTCC and near each of these are Remote Communication Complexes (RCC) (6:27). Duplexed cross tell links exist between t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7c8141ce-1615-4fc1-92a2-c50703b01bc9/f328a1e6-2c10-40fe-8358-0f1bbd960357-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gnHtnxY7U61YAwgZb8pmip</video:player_loc><video:duration>1216</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:26:15.001Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/993AVdHD8USnnUtZrbniiR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6d004596-4995-45e7-b393-0280a4634602.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NEWS REVIEW with VERONICA LAKE   WOMEN DURING WWII   BOMB RAID ON BREMEN  (Print 1)   30354</video:title><video:description>This WWII newsreel features several wonderful segments.  First, actress Veronica Lake is shown getting her famous hairstyle reconfigured in such a way that it would be safe, should she take on the kind of job that many "Rosie the Riveter" female workers took during the war.  Safety caps are seen used by women war workers at the 1:53 mark.  Industrial fashions are the "new" fashion.  At the 2:25 mark an animated sequence, clearly also aimed at war workers, shows how manufacturing is dependent upon workers showing up to the plant every day and not being absentee.  At the 3:30 mark, one of the big problems of the home front is shown, with lots of children idling at home and on the streets when their parents are working in the war plants.  A child is seen left in a parked car and a movie theater while mommy works.  An African American child is seen at the 4:30 mark locked up in her house, alone with her brother.  A female judge in delinquency court gives a speech at the 5:30 mark, asking people to help with this problem.  More volunteers are needed, and more community-based solutions to deal with these neglected children.  At the 9 minute mark, a 1000 plane by the British Royal Air Force is seen against Bremen, Germany.  This dates to June 6, 1942 and was undertaken by Halifax and Lancaster type aircraft.  The planning of the raid and the raid itself is seen in great detail.  The film ends with a rousing performance of the Air Corps Song, now known as the Song of the United States Air Force or "Off We Go Into the Wild Blue Yonder."We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

OF DEFENSE    BICENTENNIAL FILM  1976  26524</video:title><video:description>This patriotic film commemorates the bicentennial of the American Revolutionary War. It depicts historical sites and figures following American military history up until Vietnam and the Cold War. It opens with portraits of Abraham Lincoln (:37) and George Washington (:55). It is presented by the US Department of Defense (:55). The Declaration of Independence, signed July 4th 1776, appears on screen and throughout the film quotes will be read from it (1:54). A painting depicts the British fleet in harbor at the start of the Revolutionary War (2:20). A montage ensues which switches between paintings from the Revolutionary War as well as more modern warfare footage (4:31). The surrender at Yorktown, follows. (5:21). A quote from Marquis de Lafayette is heard (5:46) as he questioned what British General would attempt to undertake the conquest of America now after the Revolutionary War had been won (5:46). Relations between Britain and the US were tense after the war (6:49). In 1812, the British fleet was again in American waters (6:53). The US beefed up their war effort for this (7:32) with citizens taking up local collections to build and launch frigates. The US won three years later (10:05). Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts’ quote of “liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable” said in 1830 follows (10:27). A poster appears calling for sharp shooters to join the Maine regiments (11:05) signifying the beginning of the Civil War. A quote from Abraham Lincoln’s letter to Horace Greeley in 1862 is heard (11:15). The Civil War began in 1861 and lasted four bloody years (11:44). The president’s call for troops brought in 91,000 volunteers (11:57). Most of the high-ranking officials on both sides were graduates of West Point Military Academy (12:23). Ulysses S. Grant’s quote on the art of war, follows (12:36) and the innovations of him as well as William Sherman, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E.

This film is from 1958. Opening titles: United States Navy presents Stay in School and Graduate (:09-:33). A car drives and backs up, a teacher sees some boys in the sand dunes, walks over to see what they're doing. The boys have a firecracker, the explosive is very dangerous. The teacher speaks to the boys, gets them to not set it off. He takes the boys over to the Naval base. Boys and girls, a class, visit the Naval base. A Petty Officer walks up the stairs and has the class follow (:34-3:23). A Navy battleship docked. The class walk by the gun turrets. They then look inside of them. A fire controlman shows how the gun is automatically loaded. A Navy man explains how radar works to the class, the students look in awe. A radar man at work. The class looks around the room. Engineering room. A man types, another looks in a microscope. The class walks on the stern, they see a real guided missile. The boys look on in awe. An officer explains how the missile works. One of the boys takes an interest in speaking with an enlisted man (3:24-6:24). Navy men stare out across the Mediterranean, a picturesque canal. Visiting Greece, tall columns all around. A visit to the orient, tall statues all around. In Australia, an officer has koalas all over him. The class walks down a set of stairs, the teacher counts and is missing a student. He goes with an officer in search of him. The officer uses a phone to see if he can locate the student. Naval Base Gate 2 sign. A guard at the gate cannot locate the student. The officer calls another man with no luck. He tries other parts of the ship as well and can't find the boy. Then a call comes in, an officer has located him and calls it in.

It was produced by Robert Redd. The film shows scientists from the Cambridge Research Center analyzing the air of the upper atmosphere. The film takes viewers through the process from the assembly of the rocket to its recovery, and to  data analysis. Dr. Marcus O’Day of the geophysics research division at Cambridge Research Center opens the film (1:20). He and leading scientists convened to study the properties of the upper air of the atmosphere (1:29) in order to improve radio and radar systems (1:41) as well as to solve supersonic flight issues (1:44). The sign for Holloman Air Force Base  (1:55) as the equipment for the experiment arrives (2:06). The missile is assembled (2:18). The rocket is lowered onto the trailer (2:24) to be taken to the launch site. All three armed services were launching these missiles  (2:40). The main body is then clamped to the trailer(3:13). After the trailer is connected to the tow truck, the crew and rocket are moved to the launching site (3:29). A close up is provided of the missile (3:50) booster, the rocket motor (4:13), the oxidizer and fuel tank (4:34), the gas pressure tank (4:39) and the nose section containing the instruments for the experiment as well as a parachute to guide the nose down (4:42). While the Aerobee was on its way to the site, scientists and technicians assemble the instrument rack (5:03). As the Aerobee arrives at the launching site and is moved into position, fire prevention and safety crews pull in (6:06). The telemetering beacon is installed (6:31) and the instrument rack is attached (6:52). The fueling crew is seen donning protective suits and gas masks while preparing to fuel the rocket (7:09) as the nose cone is added (7:16).

This short, silent film shows the manufacture of shell casings. It starts with shots of rough casting of shrapnel. They are heated (:23), and then placed in a press for "nosing" or "bottling" at :39. At :51 rough ammunition is shown in stacks. At :56 slugs are stamped out, similar to bird shot. At 1:21 cases are filled and sealed. At 1:29 hot tar is added to bind the slugs and the nose assembled (1:41). At 1:51 various shell sizes and types are shown off. The cases are made from brass discs that are shaped on lathes (2:07). At 2:22 this process is demonstrated. At 2:54 the "jamming" ridge is placed on a shell to hold it in the bore of the gun. At 3:20, large caliber ammunition is shown. At 3:30 inspectors examine shells. At 3:40 they are shipped to the front.

This 1944 short propaganda documentary film uses authentic footage taken at the Battle of Tarawa by Norman Hatch. The documentary showed more gruesome scenes of battle than other war films to date. The Battle of Tarawa (US code name Operation Galvanic) was a battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II, largely fought from November 20 to November 23, 1943. It was the first American offensive in the critical central Pacific region. It was also the first time in the war that the United States faced serious Japanese opposition to an amphibious landing. Previous landings met little or no initial resistance. The 4,500 Japanese defenders were well-supplied and well-prepared, and they fought almost to the last man, exacting a heavy toll on the United States Marine Corps. The US had suffered similar casualties in other campaigns, for example over the six months in the campaign for Guadalcanal, but in this case the losses were suffered within the space of 76 hours. Nearly 6,000 Japanese and Americans died on the tiny island in the fighting.

Developed by NASA Langley researcher John D. Bird in 1965, Jet Shoes were an early experiment in enhancing extravehicular activity by allowing an astronaut to control his position and attitude in space while at the same time freeing up his hands for useful work. The concept was initially inspired by the Hiller “Flying Platform” design, in which the pilot controlled thrust vector by pushing against the soles of his feet. (Incidentally, John D. Bird appears in the early portion of this  film, wearing a suit and hat, and also at 3:56) 

As you will see in this recently rediscovered film, Bird's concept involved placing single jets on the soles of the shoes. These were activated on demand by depressing a toe switch. Movement of the feet and legs was used to direct the jets to produce the desired change in attitude and position. The switches were individually controlled and activated by a toe switch, a bite bar, or a sip-switch (the latter options involve the subject’s mouth). 

According to the NASA Langley Research Center website, the Jet Shoes experiment hardware consisted of a gas storage backpack assembly and portable show mounted solenoid thrust valves. The pneumatic system was designed to use gaseous oxygen and to deliver two pounds of thrust from each thrust valve nozzle with a pressure at a regular outlet of approximately 165 psi. The gas storage tank was designed to contain a minimum of 15 pounds of gaseous oxygen at 6000 psi. Several facilities at Langley and elsewhere were employed for simulating a zero gravity environment. Experiments were conducted with and without a space suit.  

The Rendezvous Docking Simulator in the large flight research hangar at Langley was  used (see :59). A targeted vehicle was suspended at one end of a track attached to the hangar roof while a movable vehicle was driven along the trac...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4cbc75a9-2224-4348-be8d-23d145e51238/c3e7c28e-b243-4a2a-9eda-d84a6290c089-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/atAhCcyVYLwFhoagvsGZKW</video:player_loc><video:duration>838</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:44:13.650Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2asRpHheeDMCpEz7ibL8Uf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/98acddf5-bbdf-4925-83c8-7f7927d09339.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1957 US NAVY NAVIGATION TRAINING FILM “ RELATIVE MOTION AND THE MANEUVERING BOARD ” 87284</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

This 1950s United States Navy training film describes the principles of relative motion to be applied in naval maneuvers for ships at sea. It opens with a cartoon depicting a caveman hunting with a rock (:39). Without understanding relative motion, when he throws the rock at the deer, he misses every time as the deer is in motion (1:00). When begins to guess the two motions of the moving deer and the rock he begins to understand relative motion and becomes a skillful hunter (1:58). From the deer’s perspective it appears the rock is coming straight for him although it was actually thrown ahead of him (1:17). A forward pass is shown in a football game which also uses relative motion (1:52). On the road, relative motion is showed by two cars driving at 50 mph and when one speeds up or slows down it appears the cars are moving away from one another or closer to one another, respectively (2:25). In naval operations, relative motion problems could be plotted to receive accurate solutions (2:56). The definition is provided which is: relative motion is the apparent motion of one moving object to another moving object (3:15). A demonstration follows of two ships crossing one another (3:23). Ship A in the demonstration is to watch the apparent motion of ship B and vice versa (4:01). Ship A’s relative motion is parallel to the relative motion of ship B (4:33). A vector line is shown which represents the direction of ship A and another vector line which shows the direction of ship B (4:49) and when the two are joined they form the two sides of a vector triangle (5:24). The third side of the vector triangle represents the true course and speed of ship B. This vector diagram is the key to solving all relative motion issues (5:44). The direction ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/096b6172-0fc9-402b-8c02-a2202dd23cf2/bbafeef2-42c2-4979-b27e-351170e66a6f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2asRpHheeDMCpEz7ibL8Uf</video:player_loc><video:duration>743</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:44:50.569Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eo1WxU5ZbJygTVMPKPBztt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2e33e39e-fd7f-4f61-9493-15f54369a6b5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" WORLD IN ACTION  THE FIGHTING DUTCH "   HOLLAND / NETHERLANDS &amp; DUTCH COLONIES IN WWII  42894</video:title><video:description>This film is from the series called “The World in Action” which was a monthly series from the National Film Board of Canada made to boost morale and show the Allied war effort during WW2. It focuses on the Netherlands as they were invaded by Germany in 1940. It is presented by United Artists (:08) and opens with footage of the Netherlands after they had been invaded (:43). The country was then divided by the barbed wires of concentration camps and under Nazi rule (:45). A newspaper follows with the Nazi insignia (:54). After the invasion, communication between England and Holland continued as Holland’s fighting underground sought to overthrow the invaders (1:14). The Royal Air Force was to hit a railroad yard which the Nazi’s were using to move troops to the coast through (1:18) and during this raid a man introduced as Peter van den Dungen was to play an integral role (1:26). The film then depicts images of Peter’s reminiscing on the Netherlands including ice skaters (1:45), windmills, fishing villages, sail boats (2:01) and of Rembrandt’s influence on his home country (2:26). To represent the modernization of Holland, industrial cities (2:26) and more modern designed building architectures are shown (2:29). Prior to the invasion, Holland was in a hundred years of peace with it’s European neighbors (2:56). A map follows showing the Netherlands with its 8 million inhabitants which also governed the East and West Dutch Indies populated by 67 million (3:25). The Dutch East Indies (3:37) are rich in oil, rubber and other natural resources. They governed these areas based on the idea of stewardship rather than ownership (3:49).

This short, silent film from the collection of Jeff Vilencia, shows the design and construction of the Dobson Convertiplane built by Franklin A. Dobson of Newport Beach, California. It likely dates to the early 1950s. Frank Dobson was an inventor with many ideas who also built and/or patented an anti-submarine warfare device known as "SCAT", toys, and started a business selling hovercraft kits. At 1:15, one of his toys is shown -- a flying wing aircraft with similarities in design to the Convertiplane, which could take off like a helicopter and fly like a plane. Dobson's designs are shown in Aviation Week at 2:30, and People Magazine at 3:00. Construction of a prototype follows including at 3:56, construction of a geared hub, the airframe at 4:00, engine 5:20, and more. At 8:29 a prototype similar in design to the flying toy seen earlier is shown on the ground. At 10:02 what appear to be counter-rotating props are shown at the front of the aircraft. At 10:57 a ground test is shown of the counter-rotating propellers in a helicopter configuration. The film ends with tantalizing shots of a much more elaborate prototype being painted and at 12:23 displayed on the runway. At 12:49 the rotor is shifted from helicopter to airplane configuration.  It's unclear if this craft ever flew. FAA records indicate it was tail N89P, first registered in 1956. 

According to sources, a convertiplane is defined by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI or World Air Sports Federation) as an aircraft which uses rotor power for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and converts to fixed-wing lift in normal flight. In the US it is further classified as a sub-type of powered lift.

This travelogue film shows Finland the 1930’s. It was presented by Joseph Harris and Martin Ross.  Finland is in northern Europe bordering Sweden, Norway and Russia. The capitol city of Helsinki as well as the Arctic Ocean Highway running to the port of Liinakhamari which once touched the Arctic Ocean will be shown. It refers to Helsinki as Helsingfors which is the former Swedish name of the capitol. The Arctic Ocean Highway was rerouted after WW2.  Finland had long been a battle ground due to the empirical ambitions and growing pains of Sweden and Russia. Finland was absorbed by the Russian Empire in 1807 (:32). A 1917 revolution overthrew the Czarist regime (:38). Due to wars and fires, few remnants existed of historical value in Helsinki (:47). Some of the old wooden houses have managed to remain (:53). Granite columns and entryways of the city point to early architects’ desire to use the country’s reserve of granite (1:14). Russian influence is exemplified in a Russian style church (1:35) and the cathedral of St. Nicholas (1:38). Architects sought to stray from the influences of foreign domination (1:45). The red granite railway station in the Market Square (1:59), the parliament building (2:05) and white factory buildings show no allegiance to former occupiers (2:08). A newly erected suburb consisting of flats constructed with reinforced steel (2:26) lay encircled by forests and lakes. Roads are lined with trees and intermittent flower beds (2:49). Helsinki harbor follows (2:59). Town parks and gardens were erected with artistic sculptures throughout showing Finland’s growing appreciation for the arts (3:22). The capitol is also the terminus of the road leading northward for over a thousand miles to the port of Liinakhamari (3:34). A map is provided which still has USSR on it as th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c1b32eb4-a89a-49fe-b390-2566056586dd/13af222d-c520-485a-8d34-6751d1d468e3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pVia7z7geTqcomgBWMDaFK</video:player_loc><video:duration>1043</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:49:01.045Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/e1WyYjYdTiTv9sgSen92Zt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5092bf37-d292-4fd1-82de-a580287b48a6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FRANKLIN DOBSON AIRCAR HOVERCRAFT  / GROUND EFFECT VEHICLE 1960s PROMO FILM (SILENT) 15364</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This short, silent film from the collection of Jeff Vilencia, shows a hovercraft or ground effect vehicle built by Franklin A. Dobson of Newport Beach, California. It likely dates to the early 1960s, when Dobson's Air Dart caught the attention of Popular Science magazine and became a brief sensation. Dobson went on to found a company called AIRCARS, Inc. and marketed kits and plans for the vehicle which were sold through magazine ads. According to Popular Science July 1963, the complete kit was going to sell for about $700, or one without an engine $500, and plans were going to be a mere $2. It's unclear how many ended up being built, and none appear operational today. The vehicle used chromoly tubing covered with plastic fabric, with a plywood and aluminum cockpit and a two cycle, 10-15 hp engine. It cruised at about 4 inches off the ground and could apparently carry 300 lbs. 

Dobson was an inventor with many ideas who also built and/or patented an anti-submarine warfare device known as "SCAT", toys, and at least one airplane.

This film focuses on the Santa Fe Trail; a 19th century route through central North America which connected Missouri and Santa Fe. A span of the area along this route opens the film which Native American tribes had inhabited in 1830 (:19). A herd of Buffalo grazes through the pasture and Native Americans had hunted them for their hides and their meat (:25). A character named Jessup Greg steers a wagon as he was making his third trip across the plane with his brother Adam (:44) to sell goods in Santa Fe. A map follows depicting the United States and Mexican territories in 1830 showing that Santa Fe at the time was still Mexican territory (:59). The Santa Fe trail began at Independence on the Missouri River (1:11) and the wagon route is zoomed in on which spanned 800 miles. Along the trail, there were few landmarks (2:20) or water sources and Native American tribes could be hostile (2:35). Jessup’s wagon gets stuck in a river while attempting to cross. Pockets of quicksand could cost the caravan horses and supplies (2:52). The Mexican flag flies in Santa Fe; (3:19) an isolated outpost in 1830. Santa Fe was founded by Spanish explorers and missionaries in 1610 (3:24). The area was controlled by the Royal Government in Madrid (3:30) while under Spanish rule and while under Mexican rule it was still considerable distance from the capitol of Mexico City (3:35). Characters Diego Montoya, his father and grandfather are introduced (3:52). His father is an Alcalde; a Mexican judge, and he asks the boy to bring his staff of justice (4:25) to Don Luis who was being summoned to the Alcalde. As Diego heads to fetch the man, he stops upon seeing the arrival of Jessup’s caravan and promptly turns to inform his father (5:23). As Adam pulls Diego in...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f7ec546e-c7b9-4e34-98c2-c45d72cdc41f/2cb4bf7d-8ae0-441c-9512-69549a38695f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wBDxC8wnqZNAZgriiXkCMn</video:player_loc><video:duration>1118</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:50:31.189Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tPcAuKnDxmSaU8soE5WUeo</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d5145088-07e0-405f-a820-ad2373883a25.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ ACT AND FACT D-DAY ”  JUNE 6, 1945 BRITISH INFORMATION SERVICE FILM  INVASION OF NORMANDY 43284</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

This period newsfilm depicts the beach landings which took place on June 6th, 1944. This was the Allied invasion during WW2 and it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. It was released by British Information Services (:12) and opens with European citizens opening their windows and leaning out on the morning of D-Day (:31). Heads are titled to the skies as the drone of heavy-laden planes had been heard throughout the night (:34). An Evening Standard paper is seen with a headline reading ‘The Invasion of Europe Begins’ (:37). The Allied bombing forces dropped bombs with their new rocket bombing planes over coastal fortifications (1:04). A massive payload falls from one and mushroom cloud explosions are fed back into the sky (1:36). Inland targets include the enemy’s communication systems, canal transports, locomotives and enemy air power (1:48). Strafing along the countryside (2:17) and the canal follows (2:24). An airfield is then seen hit (2:45) as well as a German plane in the sky (3:14). General Eisenhower and his staff met at the Allied Operations headquarters (3:42). He is pictured with Admiral Bertram Ramsay (3:49). Transports and gliders await troops and the men prepared for the assault (4:00). The planes are seen painted with fresh zebra stripes (4:05). Troops collected emergency rations for two days (4:15) as once they were behind enemy lines they would be cut off from supplies until uniting with the beach forces. Transportation crafts are loaded up (4:42) and troops prepared a new type of grenade which was most likely the MK II model which was upgraded from the MK I model used in WW1 (4:30). Other preparations include the reading of machine guns (4:39) and the painting of faces for personal camouflage (4:43).

This US Navy training film will take a look at the McDonnell F2H Banshee which was a single seat carrier-based jet fighter type air craft. The US Marine Corp and Navy deployed the craft from 1948 to 1961 and it was the primary American fighter used during the Korean War. The film opens with the craft in flight (:32). The F2H Banshee was powered by 2 axial flow Westinghouse J34 turbo jet engines (:41) and had a wingspan of about 45 feet (:52) with launchers on the wings for eight rockets or bombs (:57). The nose carried four 20 mm forward firing guns (1:01). The film then points to the craft on the ground (1:27) and informs viewers the ground procedure prior to flight is more important with jets than with any other craft. It breaks down the step by step process for pre-flight inspection, pre-starting, starting and run-up ground procedures (1:41). The first step is to be sure to park the plane against the shocks (2:03). The inspection of the exterior of the plane follows including checking the condition of the wings, fuselage, control surfaces and tires (2:21). All covers must be removed and all access doors must be closed and latched (2:38). Other special points that must be checked are the inlet air ducts (2:58), the condition of the brake pucks and pins (3:10), the edge of the wings (3:19) as well as the tailpipes of each engine (3:36). On the top side of the jet, the canopy release mechanism (3:52), seat catapult mechanism (4:00) and the pre-junction handles are all inspected by the pilot (4:09). Pilots then must move to the cockpit for inspection (4:14). Inside, the flight instruments on the main instrument panel are shown (4:26) as well as the left and right consoles (4:32). The pilot then gets strapped into his seat (4:42) and...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/da36b031-f2e9-4922-807d-94767a25cfc6/e2e1910f-57f3-4cc8-8759-e1f7fe52b7a7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sWSaYdJUFvSVKWAQUXmjVL</video:player_loc><video:duration>698</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T14:57:41.042Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/68Tkrz46oDag6bdS5tZq7A</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/afc45600-d276-414d-9e69-d09cb4b0f0a1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CASTLE FILMS NEWS PARADE OF 1946   PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE  NUREMBERG   BIKINI A-BOMB TESTS  70374a</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

This WWII film "Japanese-Americans" pays tribute to the heroism and sacrifice of Japanese American soldiers during World War II, particularly those in the 100th Infantry Battalion and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. It opens with a solemn ceremony in Hawaii honoring fallen soldiers and recognizing their families. These units are shown playing a key role in battles like the liberation of Livorno, Italy, despite having faced racial prejudice and internment back home. Many soldiers volunteered from relocation centers to prove their loyalty to the United States, fighting not just for victory, but to defend American ideals and challenge racial discrimination. Their bravery is praised by military leaders like General Mark Clark. The film also includes a heartfelt letter from a soldier in New Guinea, vividly describing the brutal jungle warfare, the grim conditions, and the contrast between American and Japanese soldiers. He reflects on the camaraderie with Australian forces and expresses a strong belief in the justness of their cause and confidence in their leadership.

Made in cooperation between the US War Department and the Dodge division of the Chrysler Corporation, the film opens with news of how Dodge factories in Detroit have been churning out trucks for use by Uncle Sam. “Fresh from the truck production lines,” vehicles come off train cars starting at mark 02:34 — one of 7,000 new units. The uses for such vehicles are seemingly endless, the viewer is told, as soldiers are shown unloading food supplies from the back of a truck (mark 04:07), and those trucks allow everyone from private to general to travel as far as 300 miles a day if necessary. A convoy pulls out while the narrator continues to stress the importance of the mobility of an army beginning at mark 06:43. From troop transports to artillery carriers, the narrator cites the various types of vehicles supplied to the military as they pass by on the screen, “rolling to the war games 800 miles away” as is noted at mark 09:00. Later, we see how that equipment can be concealed “from marauding eyes in the sky” (mark 12:43). Officers employ portable desks in their command cars to study maps and plot strategies (mark 13:00) and troops use a new technology — the “walkie-talkie” — to keep in touch. Scenes from the maneuvers play out over the next few minutes and the Army Corps of Engineers complete a bridge that allows the “army on wheels” to cross at mark 18:18 and anti-aircraft guns are set up at a new location. Additional scenes feature a dirigible talking to the sky (mark 21:08) as infantrymen march along roadways. Anti-aircraft guns repel an “aerial attack” at mark 23:43 and also “experiments with a mechanized attack” as tanks race across the countryside at mark 24:24. “Vital to our national defense is this ability of a motorized army…,” says...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/42ce6afd-1b2d-4c6d-bea7-6fb8fc71b85b/7ef9a24d-66d6-4c14-85b1-fd9113e55a6b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9ftq9gsWJomdt82qopT6ee</video:player_loc><video:duration>1267</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T15:03:34.863Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ixrkDnomjW5ZwzqUXyZR2x</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/77689328-8ac3-4348-a6d4-8186ec6b0b35.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>A PANORAMIC FILM TOUR OF THE NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR  1964  (SILENT FILM) 40814b</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Men, women, and children are shown reaching out to shake the hands of the soldiers at their convoys make their way through city streets at mark 00:20. The British 11th Armored Division are shown making their way to the outskirts of Antwerp at mark 01:00, where the Allies gain control of docks and railways in the city. Yet the war is not over for the Brits, we are told, as troops must continue fighting their way through the rest of Belgium. “The soldiers realize the days of their triumphant sweep are over. From here in, war is grim and unforgiving,” says the narrator at mark 01:34, as scenes of combat flash across the screen. “Battered by a merciless Germany rear guard, the troops press forward.” Meanwhile, the Allies launch an air strike on Holland, designed to get behind German water defenses and join the ground army “at the gateway to Germany.” Men of the British 1st Parachute Brigade are shown bailing out at mark 03:10 over Arnhem in the Netherlands, while enemy guns fall strangely quiet. As troops march through Eindhoven to meet the US 101st Airborne Division at mark 03:40, additional Allied aircraft soar overhead. Although troops were ordered to withdraw from Arnhem, as is shown at mark 05:25, Allied forces later regroup for a final assault beginning at mark 06:40, including a battle for Walcheren Island in late October. Canadian and British troops were eventually able to secure the area on November 2, 1944. “On Walcheren they call it Heartbreak Island. But the people who live here, bear on their coat of arms: ‘I struggle and emerge…,’” says the narrator near mark 09:15. “The people of Walcheren say, ‘The Lord made the water rise and He will make it fall.’ Our children wil...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ac7c12fe-7475-45ac-9427-220df5c1c40b/4aad6c4f-ec10-4c7c-b652-887e441d3087-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nimj9sWPteQQYoY7XGpMhx</video:player_loc><video:duration>1728</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T15:10:36.672Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wSmrVFxb6XFvUzeDoDDvk2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9e692117-d98a-48ed-a334-8358c1c4c143.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HARDFACING OF PLOWSHARES WITH STOODITE   1940s STOODY COMPANY FARM IMPLEMENT PROMO FILM 19884</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This undated silent film from the Stoody Company details the process by which plowshares are hardfaced with Stoodite, a cobalt alloy. It likely dates to the 1940s. At 0:48, the film states the type of plowshares adaptable to hardfacing and the need for them to be sharpened and heated to 1750 F before application of Stoodite.  At 1:02, a plowshare is shown being heated in a furnace until glowing red. At 1:42, the thickness the nose point (1/8”), and area up to 4 inches above the nose (1 1/8”), will be sharpened to is given.  At 1:58, the nose of a plowshare is machine shaped to the approximate thickness needed. At 2:32, the need for final shaping and point setting by hand for proper land clearance and suction is stated.  At 2:48, the final hand-shaping and point setting is shown. At 3:41, the need to draw out the entire length of the share’s edge to 7/16” is stated. At 3:51, the process of drawing out the share’s edge is shown.  At 4:09, areas of the share to be hard-faced must be polished to remove oxides.  At 4:19, grinding and polishing process is shown.  At 5:20, shares must be checked for proper set prior to hard-facing.  This is done by fitting a rod 3/16” in diameter under the share four inches (4”) up from the point and seven (7”) from the point along the throat, along the quarter bar.  At 5:43, the process to check the set of the share is shown.  At 5:55, the type of welding tip and bushy flame needed to apply Stoodite is described. At 6:12, the welding tip and look of the flame is shown. At 6:19, Step number 1 in the application of Stoodite using a Stoody welding jig is described. At 6:42, the application of 1 ¼” of Stoodite to the edge of a plow share during step one is shown. At 8:28, step number 2, hardfacing the quarter bar is described.

A product of the First Motion Picture Unit, Army Air Forces. This is a 1940’s era, color, animated film. A cartoon in Technicolor. The title of the film is, "Camouflage", it is one of a series of animated movies made by the Walt Disney Co. in support of the U.S. war effort. Between 1942 and 1945, during World War II, Walt Disney was involved in the production of many propaganda films for the US government, some featuring well-known Disney characters including Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. The widespread familiarity of Walt Disney's productions benefited the US government in producing support for the war. In "Camouflage", the purpose is a bit different -- it is an attempt to educate members of the U.S. Army Air Forces about this vital skill. In it, Hoodie the Chameleon explains the importance of camouflage and decoys for equipment and ground installations against aerial attacks. A deer uses its spotted fur to blend into the foliage. A bird uses its spotted feathers to do the same 1:00. A butterfly uses its wings to blend in to leaves on a tree 1:27. A chameleon changes its colors to blend into its environment 1:40. He sleeps in a hammock. The chameleon can change his skin color to match his background 2:20. The chameleon has a top hat monocle and cane. His name is Hoodie.

The first is in Italy and includes the crossing of the Volturno River during heavy rainstorms and the second is the Cape Gloucester Campaign. It also takes a brief look at a training conducted in Hawaii prior to the Cape Gloucester campaign. It opens with a memo informing viewers the scene is Dragoni, Italy and footage will be shown of the tanks of the First Armored Division aiding the 5th Army’s advance (:26). The advance had been slowed here due to heavy mortar and machine gun fire (:52). An observation post was set up (:55) and M4 tanks had arrived in support of the infantrymen (:58). Tank crews are seen loading into the tank (1:04) and the infantrymen being moving through a covered route (1:42). Tanks disperse, taking cover and fighting breaks out (2:39). The tank gunners cleared away obstacles for infantrymen (3:10) and the mortar squad moves up to provide aide (3:24). Another memo appears and it tells of the allied troops being slowed by heavy rainfall which caused the Volturno River to swell (3:46). In order to cross the river, a bridge would have to be constructed and allied troops set to installing steel treading across the river (4:26). Though reinforcements are attached, the river destroys the bridge before the men can cross (5:34). One man is rescued from the water (5:51) and they set to rebuilding a new bridge (5:58). This time it is successful and army trucks ride over (6:11).  The film turns to Oahu, Hawaii for troop trainings for jungle warfare (6:22). The soldiers run over a rope bridge with fake bombs and gunfire exploding towards them (6:33). Jungle warfare was considered some of the most dangerous and it was vital to know how to steadily cross these rope bridges as well as ascend rope ladders (6:43). This training was conducted for direct use the Southwest Pacific theater of the war (7:28) and it brings us to the invasion of Cape Gloucester (7:35).

It was produced by the Army Pictorial Service Signal Corps (:19). Walcheren and Tilburg are looked at first as Allied forces wanted to break German positions defending the region along it’s canals and rivers. The British 2nd Army advanced on Tilburg, which was to be the pivotal city of the German retreat from southern Netherlands (:40). Images of the demolished bridge which spanned the Wilhelmina Canal are shown and this slowed their advance (:49). Troops navigated the remains (1:02) and once the area was cleared of snipers, the rest of the battalion crossed the canal in assault boats (1:11). Once a bridgehead was secured, the Nazi stronghold was neutralized and civilians are seen waving in the streets (1:30). On the western flank of the Netherlands, the Anglo-Canadian offensive (1:41) was to open the port of Antwerp. They were to cross the Scheldt from the mainland to contact the 2nd Canadian Division that was fighting along the peninsula towards the islands in the Scheldt estuary (1:49). Other armored vehicles moved westward towards Walcheren Island (2:09). The beaches of Walcheren are seen (2:18) and the Battle of Walcheren Causeway was conducted to attack the last remaining German strongpoint that was commanding approaches to the port of Antwerp. Half of the island was under water due to RAF bombings of the sea walls and five areas were being garrisoned by 7,000 Nazi troops (2:27). A seaborne attack was launched on the island (2:34). On November 1st, British armored ships headed towards the Walcheren shores (2:39). RAF Typhoons provided air support while shore installations were fired upon (3:02). Anti-aircraft guns paved the way for a second landing on Walcheren (3:48) and the British envoy prepared to land on southern Walcheren to flush out Holland’s third port (4:03).

This film is a color film with B&amp;W historical clips showing the 1969 Reunion of The Tailhook Association. Tailhook is a U.S.-based, non-profit fraternal organization, supporting the interests of sea-based aviation, with emphasis on aircraft carriers. The word tailhook refers to the hook underneath the tail of the aircraft that catches the arresting wire suspended across the flight deck in order to stop the landing plane quickly.

Photography by the Pacific Fleet Combat Camera Group. 00:13 Opening Scene: historical illustrations of human flying. “Man’s Dream of Flight, and his desire to soar like a bird is as old as mankind itself.” 0:28 Early illustration of the Wright Flyer: the first successful airplane flight on December 17th, 1903, in North Carolina. Flight lasted 12 seconds across Kill Devil Hills. 0:51 View of various historical flying planes hanging in a museum. 1:04 Early clip of plane taking off from sea. 1:14 Naval ship and its artillery. 1:23 Successful &amp; unsuccessful clips of planes taking off from Naval ships.

This silent short, "The Big Red Cars" shows interurban trolley cars of the Pacific Electric Railroad. It was shot by Leo Caloia, a municipal worker who shot short films in his free time, including some of the earliest motion picture footage of Marilyn Monroe. Some of these films were marketed by a company called World in Color Productions for the home market. At :34, shots of 1950s Los Angeles with car 1535, also known as a "blimp". Car 1519 is shown at 1:31. At 2:08 the Winona station is shown, just north of Compton on the Long Beach Line. Car 1524 passes at 2:26. 

The cars shown in the film are an arch-roof, double-end, double-truck, steel coach with a smoking compartment. They have distinctive porthole style windows on the ends. This type of car was known as a “blimp” on the Pacific Electric. The Pacific Electric lines in the Los Angeles area were electrified at 600 volts DC.

Made in 1913-1914 for the Pacific Electric, this silent motorman and conductor training film was rescued from destruction by Robert Warr and Wally Shidler. Only about ¼ of the original production survived, but what does remain provides an intriguing look back on the early days of the Los Angeles streetcar system. At 1:35, a crossing with a defective automatic flagman is shown, and a multi-car trolley with 500 class units almost hits a passing Model T. The location is near present-day Venice Blvd. and Sepulveda. At 2:20, a car motorman uses a phone to inform the dispatcher of the issue while at 2:40 the conductor surveys the area and helps a passenger board before giving the all-clear. At 3:09, a conductor is seen getting in a conversation with a lady passenger and missing a passenger stop. He is chewed out by the passenger. At 4:22 a courteous conductor is shown assisting passengers in unloading and loading. At 4:59, a train being operated at a high rate of speed nearly runs down passengers getting off of an inbound train. At 5:25 a motorman uses proper procedure and slows down when nearing a stopped car. At 6:00, a conductor uses a phone box to phone the dispatcher. The proper forms not being available results in an issue with the trip paperwork, causing a near head on collision (8:50) with another car.  At 8:29, work motor car 1543 is briefly shown.  At 9:00, car 547 operated at too high a rate of speed in a curve strikes a pedestrian walking on a bridge on the Glendale line. This is followed by a motorman who follows the rules, operates at slow speed and prevents a disaster.

The wooden “500 class” trolleys shown in the film date back to the very beginning of the Pacific Electric’s corporate existence.

This 1944 sound newsreel shows the Allied push towards Rome, Italy and the D-Day Invasion of Europe.  It uses footage from both Allied and German sources.  Some of the highlights in the Rome section include celebrations in the aftermath of the liberation of the city.  The D-Day film includes highlights from several beachheads along with footage of Gen. Eisenhower and Field Marshall Montgomery on June 6, 1944.It took four major offensives between January and May 1944 before the line was eventually broken by a combined assault of the Fifth and Eighth Armies (including British, US, French, Polish and Canadian Corps) concentrated along a twenty mile front between Monte Cassino and the western seaboard. In a concurrent action, US General Mark Clark was ordered to break out of the stagnant position at Anzio and cash-in on the opportunity to cut off and destroy a large part of the German Tenth Army retreating from the Gustav Line between them and the Canadians. But this opportunity was lost on the brink of success, when General Clark disobeyed his orders and sent his US Forces to enter the vacant Rome instead. Rome had been declared an open city by the German Army so no resistance was encountered.The US forces took possession of Rome on 4 June 1944. The German Tenth Army were allowed to get away and, in the next few weeks, were responsible for doubling the Allied casualties in that Campaign.General Clark was hailed as a hero in the US. The Canadians were sent through the City without stopping at 3:00AM the next morning.The Normandy landings (codenamed Operation Neptune) were the landing operations on 6 June 1944 (termed D-Day) of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. The largest seaborne invasion in history, the operation began the invasion of German-occupied western Europe, led to th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5820674d-decd-49ae-b824-76a97e544add/cdf96413-c595-4e32-9357-fef6be641e0a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bTaSDV9zL8y8Wiyrv1mvMp</video:player_loc><video:duration>582</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T16:17:28.965Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vPews8Rn7KFV1RWuuyPHXi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/04010ee1-891e-49cd-b6b0-bfb019163b83.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BATTACK / BATAK PEOPLE OF SUMATRA  MALAYSIA  1929 HARVARD UNIVERSITY ANTHROPOLOGY FILM  79904</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

Made by the U.S. Army Medical Service, this training film ‘Transportation of Casualties’ will take a look at how wounded soldiers are moved from the battlefield to rear area hospitals. It will show specific maneuvers medic’s make in order to remove the wounded safely during combat as well as some of the tools they use to do so and where the wounded are transported to. It opens with a convoy riding down the road leading to a front line (:37). Footage of explosions follow along with the information that, soldiers knowing how and that they will be taken care of in the event of injury boosts company morale (1:23). The Army Medical Service is seen moving in with bands on their arms with a red cross to help a fallen soldier (1:43). The first step is to administer any emergency treatment if possible (1:49) and then it will be necessary to move the wounded to receive full medical care (1:53). Demonstrations follow of the number of ways wounded can be transported from the field including the fireman’s carry (2:21), the supporting carry for slight wounds in lower extremities (2:33), the arms carry for abdomen wounds and short distances (2:48), for long distances the saddleback carry (3:00), and the pack strap carry for when the wounded is unconscious (3:15). As during combat the medics must also remain out of fire, the neck carry (3:37) or the pistol belt drag (4:02) can be used in order to keep the wounded and the medic low to the ground. When possible, the two man carry tends to keep the injured more stable (4:52). A few other carries that use two men include the two-man saddle back carry (4:59), forehand carry (5:09), two hand carry (5:25) and the two-man arms carry (5:36). While manual carries are useful, a litter can also be utilized (6...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/284482b6-8a40-4ffc-bfa9-c3be331238b1/5ef7f2dc-bb33-4758-bca4-4ede794d5922-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5YpdhP3MPMazxv85MAKRpx</video:player_loc><video:duration>1574</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T16:26:27.393Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nN5QPkvM9WLvvj7b3awwby</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/21affb45-3a66-4d4a-acf5-2ac5d07d3328.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" CONQUEST OF THE AIR!

We don't know who Moore was, but he might have been training to be a combat cameraman. There are several slates visible in the film, at least one of which identifies Moore as belonging to the First Motion Picture Unit of the U.S. Army Air Forces.

 At :42 a camera crew gets ready, and at :50 "Stage 3" is visible. At :58 movie sets are visible along a studio street. At 1:11, "Stage 5" is shown. At 1:36 what appears to be a cathedral set is shown, and at 1:55 men in military outfits joke with a woman serving coffee. At 2;12 a cigar store and Eagle Drugs store are seen -- both movie sets. At 2:27 some debris set up for a shot are shown -- complete with sign. At 3:26, buildings which still exist on the Sony Studios are shown, and at 3:38 part of the Culver Studio is visible. At 3;51 tarpaper shacks are set up near the Pacific Military Academy -- probably as part of a movie set or to house trainees working for the First Motion Picture Unit. The Pacific Military Academy (PMA) was situated on a hill just north of Culver City, at Cardiff and Cattaraugus, after a short time in Culver City (c 1925) at 6450 Washington Blvd. Culver City's founder, Harry H. Culver, established PMA in honor of his late father, Gen. J. H. Culver, U.S. Army Volunteers.  At 5:02 the shacks are assembled rapidly. At 5:49 Old Glory waves over the PMA. At 6;34 are shots looking from the PMA. At 6:45 the camera crew gets to work. At 7:02, great shots of an American flag. At 7:27 are shots of a unit of soldiers going on a hike into what is likely the hills of Culver City near the MGM backlot. At 8:30 a soldier drinks a bottle of milk, spits part of it out and has a little fun. At 8:59 soldiers are seen with a large format bellows camera.

Shot in 1944, this documentary was produced by the U.S. Navy, directed by famed photographer Edward Steichen and narrated by Lt. Robert Taylor USNR.The plot of the film revolves around the life of seamen on board an anonymous aircraft carrier. Because of war time restrictions, the name of the aircraft carrier was disguised as "the Fighting Lady", although she was later identified as the Essex class USS Yorktown CV-10. ("Fighting Lady" was the known moniker of the Yorktown, just as "Lady Lex" for Lexington, "The Big E" for Enterprise, etc...) A few shots of aircraft landing were filmed aboard the Yorktown's sister ship USS Ticonderoga.Frequently mentioned is the adage that war is 99% waiting. The first half or so of the film is taken up with examining the mundane details of life on board the aircraft carrier as she sails through the Panama Canal and into the Pacific Ocean, finally seeing action at Marcus Island (attacked in 1943). The film provides aerial views of a series of airstrikes at Japanese bases in the Pacific theatre.Following an attack on Kwajalein in early 1944, intelligence reports that an armada of Japanese ships is massing near Truk, a major Japanese logistical base in the Carolines. The Fighting Lady and some of her task force are sent on a "hit and run" mission to neutralize it and return to Marcus, but not to attempt a landing.Once the ship returns from the massive, two-day Truk raid, it is then sent to the waters off the Marianas and participates in the famous "Marianas Turkey Shoot".At the very end some of the servicemen who appeared in the film are reintroduced to us, and the narrator informs us that they have died in battle.The film was originally shot on 16mm stock and uses Technicolor footage shot by "gun cameras" mounted directly on aircraft guns during combat. This gives a very realistic edge to the film, while the chronological following of the ship and ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f02a3413-889f-4b3d-a1b9-b2fc296c887d/29f50ab9-c5ab-4c1f-ba51-127bb4056e46-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vE5JHSiLeJ7sJrA1xfz2Z8</video:player_loc><video:duration>1712</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T16:52:12.695Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9uayyfwgqJ5JnJj5PQL7VZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/093c3d9c-4cb1-4442-b1fb-6d4471789ae2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NORTH AMERICAN AVIATION F-100 SUPER SABRE PROMO FILM  AIR STRIKES IN VIETNAM 88934</video:title><video:description>This silent promotional film for the F-100 Super Sabre was made by North American Aviation, and likely shown to members of the Department of Defense and Congress. There are two parts to the film. The first, starting at 7 seconds through 5:30, shows a bare metal aircraft being put through its paces. Beginning at 5:39 the aircraft is shown in Southeast Asia in combat operations during the Vietnam War.  At 5:49, tail #0-52964 and a wingman take off. Various other take-off shots. At 6:39 F-100s drop bomb loads. At 7:19, a napalm drop is seen with an enormous fireball resulting. At 7:42, cannon fire and strafing of ground targets. At 10:18, slow motion shots of bombs dropping from F-100s. At 12:06, what appears to be chaff or possibly cluster bombs is dispersed from the aircraft. At 13:06, sunset shots as the aircraft return to base. 

The North American F-100 Super Sabre is an American supersonic jet fighter aircraft that served with the United States Air Force (USAF) from 1954 to 1971 and with the Air National Guard (ANG) until 1979. The first of the Century Series of USAF jet fighters, it was the first USAF fighter capable of supersonic speed in level flight. The F-100 was designed by North American Aviation as a higher performance follow-on to the F-86 Sabre air superiority fighter.

Adapted as a fighter-bomber, the F-100 was supplanted by the Mach two-class F-105 Thunderchief for strike missions over North Vietnam. The F-100 flew extensively over South Vietnam as the air force's primary close air support jet until being replaced by the more efficient subsonic LTV A-7 Corsair II. The F-100 also served in other NATO air forces and with other U.S. allies. In its later life, it was often referred to as the Hun, a shortened version of "one hundred".

The film begins and ends with a "typical" American couple who openly doubt the value of photography in the war, and then shows an interpretation team working on the front lines at Guadalcanal in the Pacific. An aerial photograph is analyzed to reveal that Japanese troops are constructing an air strip on an adjacent island at Munda.  The film then suggests the destruction of the strip by showing scenes of aerial and naval bombardment. The film (according to a 1944 guide) "shows how under enemy action photographic crews work precious minutes getting and scanning pictures to search for signs of enemy emplacements and evidence of his movements. It shows what happens when well trained, discerning photographic interpreters can read from pictures shot by the crew."  Make sure to check out the pin-up calendars and other girlie images in the background of the interpretation unit's command post at the start of the film and at the 4:40 mark!   

00:00 Home front: a conversation between a man and his wife, expressing their enjoyment of having the radio on. The wife mentions possibly getting a new stove, complains that their current stove isn't heating well enough to make pancakes.1:10 - 2:00: The discussion shifts to confusion about the location of Japanese-controlled islands, and a mention of Johnson's work in the South Pacific. The husbands expresses skepticism about photography's role in the war, joking about the person taking pictures for the military.2:00 - 3:02One person reflects on their past experiences taking photos with a brownie camera. Another mentions that Johnson is likely having fun, while they work in a factory.

He runs through a forest area, in panic. he sips water from a tiny stream and then washes his face with it. He sits down on a rock and tries to relax and gather himself. He walks over some rocks. He goes back to grab his raft, parachute and helmet. He looks at his stuff and removes a knife. He goes through what he has as part of a kit: fish hooks, safety pin, matches, purification tablets, firestarters, compass, and band aids (2:45-7:09). He reviews what's in his pockets at the moment. He walks around the forest. He finds an open area and clears a fire circle, he gathers pine needles and logs. He cuts the firestarter and places it under the needles and log. He lights a match and it starts his fire (7:10-9:41). The pilot goes over to water and fills a water bag, he places a water purification tablet in it. He ties it and places it in his helmet. He adds more wood to the fire. He cuts some of the parachutes cord. He lays the chute down as a makeshift sleeping bag. He tries to sleep but it's uncomfortable.

It’s narrated by Jack Costello and produced by F.D. Kay. It begins with a colorful ‘focus leader’ for the film operator and the opening credits (:06-1:14). The film begins with souvenirs of Bermuda, including a Pan AM bag with Ansco and Kodak film (1:15-1:32). A “Walk Your Horses” metal sign sits above the gate passed in a horse-drawn tour buggy with fringe on the top (1:33-2:09). It passes a police officer in shorts directing traffic (2:10) and other buggies full of tourists (2:11-2:34). The narrow roads are often cut through high cliffs of coral and limestone (2:35-2:55) that open to roads along the ocean (2:56-3:06). The Gibbs Hill Lighthouse is the oldest cast iron lighthouse in the world (3:07-3:13). Bermuda’s reefs are shown from a bird’s eye view (3:14-3:48). Fort Saint Catherine is shown (3:49-4:00). The glimmering beaches contrast with the deep blues of the ocean (4:10-4:20). The car must stop for the world’s smallest drawbridge in action (4:21-5:, 12). A trophy for the Bermuda Goodwill Tournament is shown at the Castle Harbour Golf Club (5:13-6:00). A piece of bread dropped into a pond creates a frantic fish frenzy (6:01-6:17).

Includes terrific views of early types of jet engines and components including compressors, fans, combustion chambers, and so on.  At the 13 minute mark a variety of other uses for the turbine engine are shown including for power generation, fire fighting, marine propulsion, gas turbine locomotives, and more.  A prototype gas turbine car known as the Firebird is also shown at the 13:30 mark, probably at the Motorama, and at 15:40.    The General Motors Firebird is a quartet of prototype cars designed by Harley Earl, and engineered by General Motors for the 1953, 1956 and 1959 Motorama auto shows. They were very much inspired by innovations in fighter aircraft design at the time. None of the designs were intended for production, but instead were to showcase the extremes in technology and design that General Motors was able to achieve. The cars were recently placed on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, and still make regular car show appearances.The name "Firebird" was also used by the Pontiac division of General Motors for the line of pony cars, which has no direct relation to the concept cars.The film includes footage of the prototype Boeing 707 aircraft in flight at the 15:30 mark.The Wood River, Illinois facility of Shell Oil is also shown at the 15 minute mark, where jet fuels were exhaustively studied.  A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a type of internal combustion engine. It has an upstream rotating compressor coupled to a downstream turbine, and a combustion chamber in between.The basic operation of the gas turbine is similar to that of the steam power plant except that air is used instead of water. Fresh atmospheric air flows through a compressor that brings it to higher pressure.

It uses Los Angeles, California as an example and was produced by Academy Films (:07). The first building looked at is the public library (1:05) and each city throughout the country has land designated for these. Inside, the librarian reads to children a story about Olvera Street located in the historic downtown area of LA, which the film then goes to showing it’s colorful shops (2:02). Shots of historic Spanish churches (2:28) as well as missions (2:47) point to California’s early history. The San Fernando mission is located 30 miles from downtown LA and children are crowded outside learning of how these were constructed by Spanish padres and Native Americans (3:09). A statue of Father Junipero Serra who was the founder of several missions in California follows (3:35). For educational purposes, states designate land for school buildings and playgrounds (4:08). A few shots of a black top playground (4:25), students in a junior workshop (4:38), math class (4:54), typing class (5:06) as well as the chemistry lab follow (5:29). The University of California Los Angeles UCLA is shown and is one of the largest of the state (6:04). An aerial view of the University of Southern California USC follows (6:34). States also set aside land for religious purposes (7:00) such as for churches and synagogues. For cultural purposes, the Los Angeles County Art Museum (7:11) is shown with large sculptures sitting outside the entryway (7:41). Outdoor theaters are also popular, such as the Hollywood Bowl which seats over 17,000 (8:25). The fountain sitting in front of the LA Music Center (8:53) and the Ahmanson Theater (9:13) are shown as other cultural installations.

Narrated by film and television actor Burgess Meredith, it includes photographs of the lunar surface, Earth as seen from the moon, and activities of the astronauts. Apollo 8, the second crewed mission in the United States Apollo space program, was launched on December 21, 1968 and became the first human-crewed space craft to leave Earth orbit, reach the Earth's Moon, orbit it and return safely to Earth. The three-astronaut crew — Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders — became the first humans to travel beyond low Earth orbit, the first to see Earth as a whole planet, and then the first to directly see the far side of the Moon. The 1968 mission, the first crewed launch of a Saturn V rocket, was also the first crewed launch from the John F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida, adjacent to Cape Canaveral.The film opens as Apollo 8’s 16mm camera pans across the lunar surface and we listen to a few transmissions from the crew before we move to the “beginning” of the story and gaze upon a Saturn V rocket. At mark 03:48 we watch the Apollo 8 crew lift off and hear Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, an American minister and author who promoted the concept of “positive thinking” as he explained how the mission rejuvenated the spirit of mankind following the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy. Further transmissions from the crew are heard from space and Meredith continues to explain mission details until mark 05:33, when historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. explains how much has changed since the first flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903. Scenes from within the spacecraft follow starting at mark 06:00 along with scenes from mission control, and at mark 10:13 we see the first shot o...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/878c5be4-ce7e-471e-a003-e9d4b9218b7f/a3d4fb9e-7cf4-49d7-a2a2-78eb0949bb71-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hJNU6DaAdysXLjuMeVfhCX</video:player_loc><video:duration>1656</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T17:13:50.715Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5QCyADPLE8yCHCurNsLztn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/69ebef6c-7eb6-41ad-a655-77b7fe967142.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"BIRTH OF AN OIL FIELD"   1949 GEORGE PAL ANIMATED FILM FOR SHELL OIL CO.

Produced by George Pal, "Birth of An Oil Field" was directed by Duke Goldstone and released in 1949 by the Shell Oil Co.   This film offers a comprehensive overview of the oil drilling and production process, beginning with a philosophical reflection on time and how rapidly the world consumes oil. It explores the origins of oil drilling, from ancient Chinese methods to modern rotary drilling capable of reaching extreme depths. The process of drilling is explained in detail, including the use of specialized mud, changing drill bits, and handling complications like broken drill strings. Once oil is located, techniques like core sampling, electric logging, cementing, and perforation are used to access and evaluate the reservoir. Successful wells lead to broader production operations, where engineers manage oil flow using natural pressures (gas or water) or artificial methods like repressurization. The film then explains how crude oil is processed—separating gas, water, and oil—before it’s sent to refineries. It ends by highlighting the vast infrastructure, manpower, and innovation that support the industry, and how petroleum continues to fuel modern life and future possibilities.

0:00– Introduction and main titles
1:04 – Emphasis on time's passing: 86,400 seconds in a day, and how oil consumption correlates with human activity.

The film is narrated by Peter Allen (:24), issued by the Belgium Government Information Center in New York City (:26), and is a D.P.M. Production (:36). It opens with a picturesque shot of a windmill (:40) and the notion that although Belgium is an industrial country, farming and agriculture still played an important role (:51) as there were worldwide food shortages. A wooden shoemaker is seen chopping logs and carrying out the old tradition of making wooden shoes by hand (1:04). A view of the picturesque Bruges (1:39) is given and this is the ancient city of medieval architecture, canals, bridges and famed artists out of the Flemish schools (1:45).  This city is considered the capital of lace and this tradition had been preserved for four centuries (1:49). Legend in fact supports the idea that lace originated here (1:56). Young women are seen learning the craft (2:00) in class and their finished products are shown (2:34). An older woman called Sabine is the oldest lace maker in the city (2:50). As she has had years of experience, she uses no pattern and creates without looking down at what she is doing. Intricate lace work that was made for the New York’s World Fair of 1939 is displayed and worth a fortune (3:20). Often times lace was combined with linen to form tablecloths (3:31). A quick scene of a poppy field (3:38) leads into Belgium’s industrial center (3:57). Although factories here used mass production, the skilled artisan was still prized as a man is molding a clay pot by hand (4:03). After the clay hardens, it is painted (5:03) and sent to the potting oven to be baked (5:09). The skilled potter’s handle man steps in to form and fit handles to each (5:17). The completed works are shown (6:17). Road signs point to Leige and Marche (6:43) as the film heads to Leige which had appeared in American newspapers frequently during both world ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1992ede2-ca12-401d-aa14-f0994cbdd836/df317ca7-73a8-40fe-941f-c23b1d3bd8c6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4aarFzsaBuLCrG6mczP31E</video:player_loc><video:duration>640</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T17:20:01.758Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5S7BV4NUgkrwu6MBx3LZfK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/26085dcc-ebfa-4064-aaae-55d2e3366405.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" WORLD IN ACTION: PARATROOPS COMMANDOS FROM THE SKY "  1942 WWII ALLIED MORALE FILM 84554</video:title><video:description>This black &amp; white educational film is about the Paratroops of the United Nations Allied Forces who are fighting against the Axis powers. This film is circa 1942.

Titles: United Artists presents The World in Action, Paratroops, Commandos From The Sky (:06-:54). Men on a plane parachute off the plane, parachutes as seen from the ground. Armies of the United Nations are ready to parachute: Poland, France, Russian, American, British, and Canadian. A plane takes off. Men stretch and then do tumbles. The men then jump over a wall and then do hand to hand combat (:55-2:37). Hand to hand take downs. British troops jump off the back of a jeep as practice. Tommy guns are used and shot at targets. A troop fires his tommy gun and marches forward. Women sew the parachutes. Men practice jumping from a jump tower. A trooper practices with a wind machine, he lays flat while being blown, and tries to regain his footing. Other troops practice this as well (2:38-4:48). On the tower, the trooper is lifted with a riser, falls free and then then is jerked by a harness. A trooper jumps with his parachute open, from a tower which isn't that high, just to float down to the ground and land correctly. In England, men make their jumps from a balloon with a hole in the floor and float to the ground (4:49-6:48). Troops wear parachutes and are ready, they are checked to make sure they are wearing them correctly. The men board a plane and get ready for a real jump. The plane takes off. Some men are happy, others apprehensive. The pilot warns the men that it is time. The men start to jump, their parachutes go off, and they all fall towards the ground. Their equipment floats down as well in other parachutes. A man lands hard and an instructor walks over to him (6:49-8:19). Planes fire weapons. Planes drop bombs in a practice simulation.

THOMAS 1930s TRAVELOGUE MOVIE 53354</video:title><video:description>“A Brief Visit to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands” is the first part of a short 1930s film, In the Wake of the Buccaneers, produced by the Division of Motion Pictures for the U.S. Department of Interior. “A Brief Visit” highlights St. Thomas, promoting tourism for the U.S. Virgin Islands, which the U.S. purchased from Denmark in 1916. The film begins with a luxury steam liner arriving at St. Thomas (00:17), where people take a small boat to the island’s capital and largest city, Charlotte Amalie. In Charlotte Amalie, tourists can ride a donkey (01:07) and visit Emancipation Park (01:21)—or Emancipation Gardens — where the proclamation freeing the slaves was supposedly read in 1848. Other highlights of the capital city include Lower Town (01:30), the old drainage system (02:11), the market (02:26) where locals buy and sell produce and other goods, and the Cooperative (03:10). Local women show off woven hats and bags, including the chapo hat (03:28). Other attractions include the beaches of St. Thomas and Lindbergh Bay (04:03). While tourists enjoy the sights of St. Thomas, locals restock the ships’ supplies (04:53), including baskets of coal needed to power the steam ships. North of Charlotte Amalie is The Drake Seat (06:01), which commemorates Sir. Francis Drake and overlooks the scenic Magens Bay. Back in Charlotte Amalie is Bluebeard’s Castle Hotel (06:38), overlooking the harbor. Here, tourists enjoy the hotel and its gardens (07:20), as well as sitting on the veranda and sipping on a freshly prepared Swizzle (07:50), the region’s famous cocktail. The film concludes with a steam liner departing St. Thomas, the “Gem of the Caribbean” (08:43).Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

At mark 01:00, a platoon of soldiers is caught in an enemy attack, and their armored personnel carrier destroyed. Separated from their unit, they must now survive in the field with limited equipment -- and survival is a matter of life over death.

At mark 3:11, we have the troops planning their survival with the little they have and travelling at night through the woods. At mark 5:50, the sergeant records the identity of those killed and missing in his team for the unit leader with their coordinates. This is also done for forced burial. A compass is not always available during survival situation; hence, sun can always be used on a stick about 3ft long to cast a shadow as seen at mark 06:25. The shadow is then marked and lines are drawn. This method is most accurate method used for direction finding. Another is with a watch at mark 7:05. Shadow is cast on the hour hand and by this; the south direction is taken which is used for North Temperate Zone only. To determine direction in the South Temperate Zone, 12’oclock is pointed toward the sun. The half way between is the North and south line. Another way is at night with the North Star at mark 7:50. Cassiopeia is a way of determining the North Star. Also we have Southern Cross. At mark 9:20, the wounded soldier is been carried and plans to carry him was made. All area should be approached with caution, we have at mark 11:55, the troops making a reconnaissance research. 

In a survival situation, water is a primary requirement even than food. Water is a little hard to find here so any source is considered. At mark 12:28, we have water collected from concave dry river or stream bed. Another source is also rainfall which can be collected on trees, even the early dew is a source of water at mark 12:44. At mark 14:00, they made a sto...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/cc46cc83-4074-46d1-b642-0f30e3cfceb8/5dc1d043-03fa-4c13-9ce3-be11b85e605f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/re3GxHaUdoZRYsrjiv7zEq</video:player_loc><video:duration>2773</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>2</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T17:32:53.436Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xnBBvP3C2f1EPnAWEJD1aP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fe3d03de-44ba-4074-b62f-82e5bd2120d9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PATRIOTIC AMERICAN DOCUMENTARY "IT COULDN'T BE DONE" w/ LEE MARVIN  MT.

The ‘US News Review’ films were produced by the Office of War Information (:10). This was a government organization created during WW2 that used media forms such as film, radio broadcasts, newspapers and others as a way to connect the battlefront to civilian communities. This is issue #3 and opens with the ‘Plywood Bomber’ also known as the de Havilland Mosquito (:24). It is seen being inspected by de Havilland officials (:29). The fuselage was constructed with two plywood skins and a softer wood was used for insulation (:36). Its wings were formed with large sheets of supple wood (:48). It is then seen filmed for the first time before taking a trail run (:58). The bomber was able to have four machine guns and four cannons mounted from it (1:27). A test pilot from de Havilland is seen checking controls prior to lift off and the actual lift off follows (1:40). A view from the nose of the craft as it lifted off the runway is given (1:44). It was able to hit speeds of up to 430 mph (1:55) and this segment concludes with its touchdown (2:33). The next segment is about New Guinea (2:52) and opens with a map pointed to Milne Bay which was an important UN harbor as the Allied forces had a base in Port Moresby (3:01). The goal was to keep the harbor from falling into Japanese forces’ hands which would prevent supplies getting to the base. Japan did attempt to land forces here however they were defeated (3:11). A span of supplies that were still able to make it to the base follows (3:23). Search parties are seen scanning the coast for enemy forces (3:30). Signs of a rapid retreat from the Japanese include a destroyed and abandoned landing barge (3:37), abandoned tanks in the jungle (4:03), a bullet hole rigged tanker truck (4:10), a discarded 37 millimeter field gun (4:13) and a bicycle which t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/48b7c261-4c9f-4371-a34a-5d5954e25e7e/dfffc79c-aa19-40b4-8fd1-c059506d095a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9YP4dePoz9Ux947fJ7r4FU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1169</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T17:45:49.627Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kVuuhyn82CfADrKK9Y1QUp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b1457ab1-a5d9-4c7b-9ad9-259be2c2b636.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STUDIOS ON PARADE  SILENT HOLLYWOOD MOVIE MAKING SHORT  BEHIND THE SCENES OF LITTLE RASCALS  64614</video:title><video:description>Made by the short-lived Mercury Pictures (not to be confused with Orson Welles' company), this silent short "Studios on Parade" was sold to the home market in the 1940s.

“New Dimensions in Military Mobility” is a promotional film for the Bell 204B helicopter. It opens with the image of an army tanker of the 47th Regiment (:14) and men scouting another tank riding through woods (:33). The decades focused on will be the 50’s and 60’s and as the 60’s approached they expected to see an emphasis on different nations’ abilities to function in a limited warfare sense (1:03).  Success for each nation depended on tactics and mobility (1:23). The helicopter had become the key to mobility (1:27) and this is where we see the Bell 204 B Helicopter. The title screen appears at (1:36) and this film had been produced by Bell Helicopters Co. (1:43). An animated map displays how after WW2’s end, hundreds of small conflicts erupted and these are shown by lit up areas on the map (1:54). The only areas that seemed to remain untouched were within the super powers of the world (2:16). Most of the fighting was occurring in underdeveloped areas (2:31). The film turns back to the troops in the woods as the consistent factors in this type of warfare include; mobility, firepower, reconnaissance and logistical support (2:42). From here we will take a look at the 204 B’s ability to comply with each of these (2:56). Three of these choppers are seen hovering and their greatest contribution was mobility (3:07). One is seen kicking up sand from the desert floor (3:13), another is flying through mountain ranges (3:21), and another is touching the ground in the snow (3:21). A view from within looking out at the Alps is given (3:47). A significant attribute of its mobility capabilities was that it was easily transported by air as it is loaded into a plane and can be taken anywhere in the world (4:05). Also, as one 204 B hovers above trees for concealment, it was easy for this aircraft to d...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6bcd8101-ad1f-421b-8d55-13fb60417443/c5263422-1420-4bab-95a9-54fd5127e6be-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ej6nR8gp1hYQDB4qqRN8gz</video:player_loc><video:duration>745</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T17:54:35.997Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5qGMkUCepXWNgVD8N2JqBK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5a1bf293-4495-4b46-960b-5c84c73f2a26.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THIS IS GUADALCANAL "  1944 U.S. MARINE CORPS DOCUMENTARY FILM  23824</video:title><video:description>This black &amp; white educational film is about the landing of U.S. Marines on Guadalcanal in 1942.

Films like this one were considered important in post-WWII Great Britain, where hundreds of thousands of people (both soldiers and civilians) suffered life changing injuries as a result of the war. The government's "Emergency Hospital Scheme" was tasked with dealing with these patients and their considerable needs.

The film opens with a middle-aged man named Joe who broke his arm while doing fieldwork for his job. His injury puts him out of work for a couple of months. As Joe’s doctor performed regular checkups on him, the doctor notices that Joe has stiffness in his hand and recommends Joe to continue moving his hand as much as he cans. Even though Joe is back at work, he still has not fully recovered. 

While Joe’s doctor goes out of town he discovers a man that was hit by a car and suffered a broken leg. While at the hospital the man and many others are treated for shock. There is a surgeon caring for these patients that have broken limbs. The surgeon tells Joe’s doctor of the different levels of shock. Depending on the level of shock a person has will determine what type of treatment he will be given.

Joe’s doctor marvels at the updated equipment this surgeon uses but wants to know how long before the man with the broken leg is able to return back to work. Even though the minimum time allowed is twelve weeks to heal, another doctor, Mr. Thomas, suggest a max of twelve months. Mr. Thomas explains that fancy equipment gets no one any further in healing. A surgeon’s role is to cure pain but he cannot cure fear. The fear is from a patient’s belief that he will not be normal again or fear of not ever working. In the end he’ll be either out of work or if one can work he’ll settle for any job that would pay...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5bbb690a-857e-4738-b41b-20f9f290195e/cdc8aabc-a155-457b-a251-7bc92a320a17-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cjZAN3Qqm6bwXm4EAYhPgu</video:player_loc><video:duration>1200</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T18:06:29.500Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/akq5ofqSafj3aQT6LHhDkg</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cf68ca7c-407b-474f-96e0-7226708059b9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OPERATION CROSSROADS ABLE &amp; BAKER ATOMIC BOMB TESTS    BIKINI ATOLL 1946  83144</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Shirer speaking about the Nazi Youth Movement. "By Request" (begins about 10:55 into the film) shows a new German secret weapon, the "one man torpedo". Germany had three types of human torpedoes during WWII. First, the Negerthat was a torpedo carrying a second torpedo underneath, which was launched at the target. The Marder and Biber were very small submarines carried two torpedoes and one or two men. There were other types that never ran into production. In July 1944 Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine introduced their human torpedoes to harass allied positions at Normandy anchorages. Although they could not submerge, they were difficult to observe at night and inflicted several losses on allied vessels. Around the 13 minute mark are scenes shot in Manhattan and Brooklyn for troops who are overseas. The segment ends with a song sung by Lena Romay. Romay was a Mexican-American actress and singer. She was born in 1919 in Brooklyn, N.Y., the daughter of Porfirio Romay, then-attache to the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles. She appeared in both photoreal and live-action form in the Droopy cartoon "Senor Droopy".The Hitler Youth was the youth organization of the Nazi Party in Germany. Its origins dated back to 1922 in form of predecessor organizations affiliated to the (at the time) Munich-based Nazi Party. From 1933 until 1945, it was the sole official youth organization in Germany and was partially a paramilitary organization; it was constituted of the Hitlerjugend proper for male youth aged 14 to 18, the Deutsches Jungvolk (German Youth) for younger boys, and the League of German Girls.With the surrender of Nazi Germany in 1945, the organization de facto ceased to exist. On 10 October 1945, it was officially outlawed by the Allied Control Council along with other Nazi Party ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/be89798a-30f9-4b9e-a4d6-93b2589379a0/ed2de1a2-8377-48a3-903e-b1c5b7cc4582-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pwDh3hCBizszTUz9LsW2N1</video:player_loc><video:duration>1137</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T18:16:04.318Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9nhkek4oYNv9EsDv9XRc5H</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/80cea0fc-f4fa-4eac-973a-dbaab026cdda.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>REPORT FROM LIBYA   1960's ESSO STANDARD OIL FILM    TRIPOLI  ZELTEN OIL FIELD 19394</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Journey. Report from Libya. Produced for Standard Oil Company, New Jersey. By Tangent Films, Inc. The movie opens with a view over the water at Tripoli, the capital city of Libya. The purpose of the movie is to show the progress of oil drilling and collaboration between American oil companies and the Libyan people. Historically the area of Libya was considered as three provinces (or states), Tripolitania in the northwest, Cyrenaica in the east, and Fezzan in the southwest. Tripoli has wide boulevards, palm trees and beautiful modern architecture 1:15. Downtown Tripoli, cars and horse and carriages share the road 1:35. Regio Tripolitana. Around the beginning of the 3rd century AD, it became known as the Regio Tripolitana, meaning "region of the three cities", namely Oea (i.e., modern Tripoli), Sabratha and Leptis Magna. It was probably raised to the rank of a separate province by Septimius Severus, who was a native of Leptis Magna. Arch honoring Marcus Aurelius 1:50. The ruins of the two other modern cities in Libya stand as monuments to ancient Rome. The theater at Sabratha 2:10. Camels truck down the road carrying passengers 2:21. Large excavations in Libya uncovering Roman ruins 2:42. Aerial view of the desert 2:51. The Sahara Desert. Esso Standard Libya was the first company to find oil in Libya in 1958 in the Fezzan province 3:06. Dry holes from failed excavating attempts dot the landscape 3:25. Drilling rig in the Fezzan 3:36. Drills find “basement rock” meaning that there was no oil in the hole 3:47. Pneumatic tires under the rig 3:55. Oil has been found more than a mile deep in Zelten. The oil camp is moved from the Fezzan province to Zelten 4:12. Trucks move the large equipment 4:25. Airplanes and Land Rover cars scout for passable roots 4:45. The trip takes two weeks.

To date it remains one of the only systems of its kind to be successfully demonstrated. Swung on a tether beneath a helicopter, the SMS platform could be used to recover victims and deploy firefighters from locations which would ordinarily be beyond the reach of ladder engines. A self-contained module, the SMS was developed from vertical takeoff and landing aircraft technologies which allowed it to achieve unmatched stability. The unit never went beyond the prototype stage, despite successful demonstrations, and only the Los Angeles Fire Department actually fielded the SMS. This film was made during one of the field tests in Kansas City. Watching it in action, one has to wonder how it might have functioned in the heat and smoke of an actual high-rise conflagration. Could this type of rescue device have made a difference in the World Trade Center Disaster, as some have speculated? Watch and make up your own mind! (BTW the SMS prototype still exists and is now property of the LAFD museum collection.)

The plot revolves around Mrs. Blanding, a young bride and mother whose older husband has become a Naval officer and gone to sea.  Of course he is in harm's way, and the results are catastrophic.  Just before going into action, Steve writes a letter mentioning how important his service in the military is…and making it clear that every man must do his duty.  This letter arrives at home just before a fateful telegram from the Navy, informing Mrs. Blanding that her husband is missing in action.  Lewis Allen (25 December 1905 – 3 May 2000) was an English film and television director. Allen worked mainly in the United States, directing 18 feature films between 1944 and 1959. From the mid-1950s he moved increasingly into television and worked on a number of the most popular shows of the time in the US.Barbara Britton (September 26, 1919 – January 17, 1980) was an American film and television actress. She is best known for her western film roles opposite Randolph Scott, Joel McCrea, and Gene Autry and for her two-year tenure as inquisitive amateur sleuth Pam North on the television series Mr. and Mrs. North.James Craig (February 4, 1912 – June 28, 1985), born James Henry Meador, was an American actor.After graduating from the Rice Institute, Craig began appearing in films in 1937, most often in B-movies and serials. In 1939, he appeared in the Three Stooges film Oily to Bed, Oily to Rise.We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

As the narrator says, "Everyone will agree that we need good roads, an efficient system of highways and freeways and the reality of highway can give rise to a course of interesting individual opinions".  The film contains a brief history of American roads from the National Pike to the superhighway.The film was financed by General Motors."We should take personal interest in road construction because the roads are our road. All roads constructed meet our needs, accommodate our pattern of need, so it should continually be improved or expanded to keep pace with our population growth and our mobility. Before automobiles, highways were just service roads to transport goods to the market" as seen at mark 3:12. At mark 3:20, some historic roads were seen such as the Oregon Trail, the Indian pike. At mark 4:30, there are road and railway network pattern with highway numbers seen. Travelers will be confused with the highway number and in 1925; the America association of state highway officials came to their rescue. The entire cost of the highway program is entirely payed for by the users themselves. This is seen at mark 6:10.  The trucking companies have been called the lifeline of America because they transport all materials needed by the public as seen at mark 6:25. Yet they combine to make up only one-fifth of the vehicles on the road today. It is the responsibility of each state to plan and develop highway programs as seen at mark 6:35, more specifically the responsibility of the state highway department. They are the engineering department in-charge of selecting and planning the location, designing the highway, acquiring the highway, supervising the program and finally inspection and maintenance as seen at mark06:50. They decide on the priorities.

Originally made by the Soviet Union, this propaganda film was re-released by the American C.I.A. complete with English narration. It features wargames known as Ocean-70 performed by the Soviet fleet.  The exercise took place between 14th April and 5th of May 1970.  It was conducted under the command of Admiral Gorshkov, commander in Chief of the Soviet Navy. Depicted are various types of the contemporary Soviet surface navy materiel, Soviet Navy airforce and air reconnaissance, Soviet Marines and their amphibious assault vehicles, and the first generation of the Soviet navy nuclear and non-nuclear submarines – November, Echo and Foxtrot types. The latest (commissioned 1968-1970) Soviet navy nuclear submarines do not appear in this movie.The classified part of this exercise involved the search for the sunken K-8 submarine, which foundered in the bay of Biscay on April 12th 1970 (not portrayed, understandably).

This documentary, produced by the Portland Cement Association, describes the construction and utility of The Pennsylvania Turnpike, completed October, 1940, was a landmark construction project completed in that served as the grandfather of the interstate highway system. The planning process began in the 1920s as automobiles rose in popularity. After the onset of the Great Depression in the 1930s and President Franklin Roosevelt’s establishment of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in order to employ the homeless, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission was established to create the highway. The Turnpike was the longest uninterrupted road in America at the time it was completed and contained several mountain tunnels, a feat thought unattainable at the time. The Turnpike laid the groundwork for the Interstate Highway System by proving that large-scale construction projects supported by the government could be effectively implemented and useful to the public at large0:21 shows a nice areal shot of the Turnpike with cars running down it. Band music plays in the background, and the narrator discusses the importance of the highway.0:47 gives a list of the names of the members of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, including Chairman Walter A. Jones, Frank Bebout, Charles, T. Carpenter, Thomas J. Evans, Lamont Hughes, and others. Chairman Jones was born in Pittsburgh, and proved to be integral to the project by using his political heft to interest President Roosevelt in the Turnpike.1:45 provides more areal shots of the highway as well as some shots from the perspective of a car on the road. The narrator describes the industrial purpose of the highway.2:15 gives a map of the project and shows the ways in which the highway saves manufacturers time.3:36 describes the tunneling process for the highway and the feat...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dd783374-80ef-4278-9e97-4c8edf183e69/1487fdf0-21f0-4973-8859-5a8f6afda2a8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tmbFrtUNqD99yA6SUdk21e</video:player_loc><video:duration>1398</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T18:32:46.886Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8buuu1FMteKaQXJFqFoo6D</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7f232de1-9546-4361-90d9-8e5db9f898ae.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE SUPER HIGHWAY 1950s PROMO FILM   INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM MD74752</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

The film begins with reference shots of the car from all sides before moving into the tests, with the car traveling into an angled concrete wall. The car doors were made of transparent plastic to aid researchers in seeing the impact effects on the passengers -- crash test dummies. The test shows twin air bags in use in the car, which dates the film to approximately 1973, although it may be earlier (and hopefully one of you Corvette enthusiasts can pin down the exact year). In the film you can see views inside the car as first generation airbags deploy, and although it is hard to gauge their effectiveness from this film alone, it appears they do prevent the dummies from impacting the windscreen.

Featured  microwave communications, costs, and flyovers.The New Jersey Turnpike (shortened to NJTP and colloquially known to New Jerseyans as "the Turnpike") is a toll road in New Jersey, maintained by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. According to the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association, the Turnpike is the nation's sixth-busiest toll road and is one of the most heavily traveled highways in the United States. The Turnpike is a major thoroughfare providing access to various localities in New Jersey, as well as Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New York. The route divides into four roadways at exit 6, with lanes restricted to carrying only cars, and with lanes for cars, trucks and buses.The northern part of the mainline turnpike, along with the entirety of its extensions and spurs, is part of the Interstate Highway System, designated as Interstate 95 (I-95) between exit 6 and its northern end. Construction of the mainline from conceptualization to completion took 23 months, from 1950 to 1952. It was officially opened to traffic in November 1951, between its southern terminus and exit 10.The Turnpike has 12-foot-wide (3.7 m) lanes, 10-foot-wide (3.0 m) shoulders, 13 rest areas named after notable residents of New Jersey, and unusual exit signage that was considered the pinnacle of highway building in the 1950s. The Interstate Highway System took some of its design guidelines by copying the Turnpike's design guidelines. To some degree, the Turnpike is considered iconic in pop culture, having been referenced in music, film and television.The task of building the Turnpike was not an easy one. One major problem was the construction in the city of Elizabeth, where either 450 homes or 32 businesses would be destroyed, depending on the chosen route. The engineers decided to go through the residential area, since they considered it the grittiest and the closest route to both Newark Airport and ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3eac0ce6-461d-4a41-83bd-0cd4bd8afc17/78dc522e-a444-4092-a344-76e2ea7cede2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8JS3BWfd5mzgN1n9iRuMaH</video:player_loc><video:duration>109</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T18:45:17.244Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4X5YVY3qgteAUzgNMobUVm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/28321514-d678-4629-9fd2-662b0a9bf258.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s HOME MOVIE  TRIP TO EAST &amp; WEST BERLIN  GERMANY  (SILENT FILM) 88054</video:title><video:description>Shot in the 1950s, this silent home movie shows a visit to West Berlin and includes shots of East Berlin.

The ‘NASA Manned Space Flight Quarterly Report 14’ focuses on the period of July, August and September 1966 (:40). This was a time when Apollo Saturn hardware was undergoing qualification tests and the Gemini space program was wrapping up. Beginning with the Gemini X mission, astronauts John Young and Michael Collins are filmed as they entered the space craft (1:14). In space they are seen rendezvousing with the Agena target vehicle (1:31), station keeping (1:49), docking with the Agena (1:51), and igniting the target vehicle’s propulsion system (2:13). The burn was photographed from the inside by the crew (2:17). Footage of the retrofire and re-entry into Earth follows (3:43) along with other shots taken of the ionized wake which surrounds the space craft as they re-entered the atmosphere (3:43). Gemini XI was the next mission with pilots Charles Conrad and Richard Gordon (4:06). In space, Gemini XI meets with its target vehicle (4:21) and Gordon conducts the first extra vehicular activity of connecting a tether (4:50) to be used in exercise the following day. The pilot’s hatch is seen open (5:22) and this was done twice on the mission, once to photograph earth features and star fields of scientific interests. Other footage of the mission includes Conrad igniting the Agena propulsion system (5:32) causing them to reach new altitude and velocity records (6:01), a slow spin conducted while station keeping with tether attached (6:27) and the second rendezvous (6:52) as well as the final separation.

Fitzpatrick, an American producer who had earned the title of ‘The Voice of the Globe’ for his involvement in films such as this. This particular film is accompanied by Nathaniel Shilkret’s Traveltalk Orchestra (:15). It centers on Iceland (:27) a continent largely isolated by the rest of the world and founded by Vikings from Norway (:27). The population at the time barely exceeded 100,00 (:41) and we begin in the streets of the capital of Reykjavik (:46). Women are still wearing traditional attire shown on film (1:41) and the language has mostly remained the same since the 9th century (1:51). As the citizens of Iceland were well known to be avid readers and have the largest collection of books, a pair of men are shown playing chess (2:02) as another watches over. Icelandic ponies (2:30) trot over volcanic plains and they were the main source of transportation before the invention of the automobile (2:47). An old technique of tying the bridle of one pony to another’s tail because of the lack of trees is depicted (3:12). Utilizing one of the land’s many natural hot water springs, is a municipal laundry (3:40). For recreation, some of the springs are cool enough for swimming and children are shown jumping in (4:19). Fishing is the largest industry here and massive codfish are dragged up onto a dock (4:54). The fish are then shown salted by workers and tossed in heaps with canvas atop for drying (5:36). Young men carrying flagpoles appear on screen as they head to engage in the national wrestling sport called Glima. This sport had been kept a secret for many years and after revealed to world, the country maintained its hold over the sport allowing only it’s citizens to participate. The Icelandic flag waves as this film concludes (8:19).Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

This movie "Paint" from the Shell Film Unit traces the history of paint from ancient hands and ancient tools onto cave walls and into modern industrial paints used for anti-corrosive and durability purposes. The film opens with cave art; sticks, bones and minerals used for technique and pigment. Bituminous paint is looked to as an early discovery by Mesopotamians for its strength and durability. The story grows through generations and cultures, from Egyptian art through the religious paintings of the Renaissance Era displaying how innovations from various cultures influenced art and the paint industry. The Shell Film Unit was formed in 1934 and would later become one of the most highly regarded documentary units based within a private company. The unit was a part of Britain's documentary movement providing a wide range of topics including technical studies related to shell activities as well as general education films for the public. During WW2, Shell created films for Britain's Ministry of Information. 

The film opens with images of a painter coating a wall by hand, to be complete in 30 days (1:16). This is compared to modern spray painting methods (1:24).  A full car body takes a dip in a candy apple red (1:47) full body bath. Stalactites drop from cave ceilings (2:14). Cave paintings run over walls (2:31). The history of cave art dates back to over 40,000 years ago. Ochre-like mixtures likely used for paint were discovered by archeologists from 100,000 years ago.

Between 1961 and 1992, Holy Loch was the site of the United States Navy's FBM Refit Site One (FBM: Fleet Ballistic Missile). It was the home base of Submarine Squadron (SUBRON) 14, part of Submarine Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. To make maximum usage of its submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) deterrent force, American military had determined that it required an overseas base for refit and crew turnover. Negotiations with the British Government began as early as March 1959 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower mentioned the need to British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan at a meeting at Camp David. Agreement for the use of Holy Loch was reached near the end of 1960 and the arrival of the first tender, USS Proteus (AS-19) scheduled for December.Between 1961 and 1982, the Naval Support Activity ashore was administered by US Naval Activities London. In 1982, Naval Support Activity (NAVSUPPACT), Forward Base, Holy Loch, Scotland became its own command. NAVSUPPACT ultimately managed 42 facilities and leased 342 housing units for Navy personnel and their dependents.The Polaris missile was a two-stage solid-fuel nuclear-armed submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) built during the Cold War by Lockheed Corporation of California for the United States Navy. It was designed to be used as part of the Navy's contribution to the United States arsenal of nuclear weapons, replacing the Regulus cruise missile. Known as a Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM), the Polaris was first launched from the Cape Canaveral, Florida, missile test base on January 7, 1960.

Apollo 8 became the first manned spacecraft to leave Earth orbit, reach Earth’s moon, orbit it and return safely to Earth. The three-astronaut crew — Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders — became the first humans to travel beyond low Earth orbit, the first to see Earth as a whole planet, the first to directly see the far side of the Moon, and then the first to witness Earthrise. The 1968 mission, the third flight of the Saturn V rocket and that rocket's first manned launch, was also the first human spaceflight launch from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, located adjacent to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Liftoff comes at mark 01:00 and we see astronauts in mission control (including Michael Collins and Neil Armstrong at mark 03:00) monitoring the journey. A breathtaking view of Earth is shown at mark 04:24 as well as the astronauts within their spacecraft (mark 04:55). Apollo 8 makes history at mark 09:00 as they enter lunar orbit and for the first time men see, with their own eyes, the lunar surface as Lovell describes its grayish, pockmarked surface and the crew later comment on its vastness … and loneliness. The crew fires the surface module engine for the return home as programmers, engineers, and fellow astronauts monitor the progress (mark 14:14). We see more scenes from within the capsule as the crew describes their “Christmas meal” (mark 15:10) before Earth comes back into view and Apollo 8 splashes down (mark 18:45).

Stubbs company and was on display at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry until 2001 when it was removed by GM.  The Our American Crossroads display is an animated diorama of American life. It depicts lifestyles before and after the introduction of the automobile and a futuristic look years down the road. Starting with (as the narrator says) "a sleepy, rural crossroad consisting of muddy roads, a rickety wooden bridge and a few scattered farm houses, you see a simple story of American growth and development unfold before your eyes. Beginning with the first appearance of a horseless carriage – this ever-changing diorama dramatically traces the impact of the automobile on the isolated community. The transformation from a muddy crossroad to a modern bustling community, vividly illustrates the important role played by the automobile in the rapid growth of America. We have progressed from a country of isolated rural communities and scattered cities – to an integrated land connected by a great network of roads and highways … and we have come this far in only sixty years.

Produced in 1938 by United States Steel, "Steel: Man's Servant" presents a lavish Technicolor look at the steel industry prior to WWII.  Narrated by Edwin Hill and directed by Roland Reed, with amusical score by Robert Armbruster, the 37-minute film typically accompanied a dramatic feature film in release.  The film presents mining activities on the Mesabi Range, with an Oliver Iron Mining Co. steam shovel ripping iron ore from the ground at the film's start.  The film goes on to show the path of iron ore to Duluth's docks and steel plant before most of it arrived in the mills and manufacturing facilities of the eastern United States.  The movie contains rare color images of pre-WWII American including open pit and underground mines, steel mills, blast furnaces, Great Lakes ore carriers, steam locomotives, steel bridges, skyscrapers, highways, ships, oil derricks, stainless steel pots and pans, and more.The United States Steel Corporation, more commonly known as U.S. Steel, is an American integrated steel producer with major production operations in the United States, Canada, and Central Europe. The company was the world's 15th largest steel producer in 2014. It was renamed USX Corporation in 1986 and back to United States Steel Corporation in 2001 when the shareholders of USX spun off the oil &amp; gas business of Marathon Oil and the steel business of U. S. Steel to shareholders. In 2001 it was still the largest domestically owned integrated steel producer in the United States, although it produced only slightly more steel than it did in 1902, after significant downsizing in the 1980s. J. P. Morgan and the attorney Elbert H. Gary founded U.S. Steel in 1901 (incorporated on February 25) by combining Andrew Carnegie's Carnegie Steel Company with Gary's Federal Steel Company and William Henry "Judge" Moore's National Ste...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a3717394-bf73-47a8-9dd9-e7baa6da3714/b578bd28-887c-40d7-b9a2-d64042d2f96c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mbAt3vjBgxjmUKcHKAWv4A</video:player_loc><video:duration>2253</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T19:29:05.895Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cM5VZpLUTFBLMAW99wAtgp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/eb8ffd82-d34c-4498-9bf3-71c2e614de4c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" HARBOR PILOT "   1960s LOS ANGELES HARBOR   FREIGHTERS &amp; SHIPS EDUCATIONAL FILM   94654</video:title><video:description>Harbor Pilot is a short film from 1967 that gives viewers a brief look at what a harbor pilot is and does. The film opens with footage of a sailboat sailing at sea, followed by a shot of a rocky coastline (01:10) and then an aerial view of a modern harbor — the Port of Los Angeles. A large freight ship, SS Gemstone, is out at sea. A harbor pilot stands on land at the Port of Los Angeles, looking out over the harbor. He walks into the pilot station at the entrance to the harbor to check the schedule. He looks through a telescope for an incoming ship (02:35). The pilot walks out onto the dock and climbs into the pilot boat, which he then steers to the incoming ship (03:49). The harbor pilot climbs out of the boat and up the side of the ship. On the bridge, he meets with the ship’s captain and tells the man at the wheel where to go to stay in deep water. The ship moves in toward the docks with the assistance of tugboats (05:10). The film shows several different kinds of buoys out in the harbor. A big dredging machine dredges the harbor (06:25); sand and rocks are pumped through a pipe and onto land. Viewers see ships as they pass each other in the harbor (07:00). A tugboat pushes the ship sideways to get it next to the dock. A heavy rope is lowered from the ship and is tied to the dock. The harbor pilot stands on another large ship as it leaves port and moves through harbor out to sea. A pilot boat comes out to the ship to get the harbor pilot and take him back to shore (08:59). The harbor pilot stands at the bow of the pilot boat as it moves back to port.A maritime pilot, marine pilot, harbor pilot, bar pilot, or simply pilot, is a sailor who maneuvers ships through dangerous or congested waters, such as harbors or river mouths. They are navigational experts possessing knowledge of the particular waterway such as its depth, currents, and hazards.Normally, the pilot joins an incoming ship prior to the ship's entry into the shallow water at the designated "pilot ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5f60089d-ecc3-4a0d-97fb-bc176ed58979/0a34e2f1-4078-4e24-ae14-17029a1e348d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cM5VZpLUTFBLMAW99wAtgp</video:player_loc><video:duration>622</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T19:32:50.327Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wdUSyN5vntN9TRdPpz2iNM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8b260b54-a9b3-492c-a6ba-6923723e4767.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>JOHNSON &amp; JOHNSON MEDICAL PRODUCTS CO.  1927 DRUG STORE SALES FILM (SILENT MOVIE) 99544</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

‘Winning Their Confidence” is a silent film presented by Johnson &amp; Johnson (:11). Its focus is on J &amp; J’s advertisement campaign in 1927 to 1930. Johnson &amp; Johnson was building a strong customer following through radio and magazine ads and this film appears to be a promotion for drug stores to carry their products and why they should. Apothecaries had evolved into drug stores and the window display was a modern installment to draw customers in; the one pictured includes a tin of Vic’s Vapor Rub (:57). Shots of inside a drug store follow (1:21) and a close up is given of the Johnson &amp; Johnson products bearing the red cross as its familiarity built in customer’s trust in the product (1:50). Another reason the film boasts ‘druggists’ should have their products in store is due to the slew of advertisements of Johnson &amp; Johnson products in magazines like ‘The Parents Magazine’, ‘McCalls’, and ‘Ladies Home and Journal’ (2:24). Footage of the Yale Bowl follows (2:57) as advertisement was also done at events to build customer trust. Radio listeners also heard of Johnson &amp; Johnson as their advertisements were aired and footage of radio broadcasters for NBC follows (3:23). Hospitals such as the Medical Center in New York City (5:24) used their products and dentists and doctors recommended them (5:56) which again added to their reliability. The idea that a mother’s use of Johnson &amp; Johnson would ensure the child’s likeliness of becoming a future buyer as well is presented (6:41). A demonstration plays out in which a woman goes to the drug store and is sold an unfamiliar brand (8:13). She discovers this and is dismayed when she returns home and upon going to the same drug store again, decides to leave and go to a different one implying the store’s selling of J &amp; J products will earn them repeat customers (8:59). Another demonstration of the opposite follows where a man p...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f4bfab1f-ddb5-4bab-be5a-6c2bed7a8755/0de8a54e-2dbe-40ea-aaae-47e254360fe9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wdUSyN5vntN9TRdPpz2iNM</video:player_loc><video:duration>768</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T19:32:53.430Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cvPBbQApwKP4YXiPKMcQzH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/91bec18d-b4bc-4929-8218-d79834ada27b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" ATOMIC POWER! ” 1946 ATOMIC AGE AND MANHATTAN PROJECT EDUCATIONAL FILM    71674z</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This black-and-white educational film titled “Atomic Power!” from 1946 shows the history of the Atomic Age and the Manhattan Project, beginning with the dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  It then goes on to describe the atom and the race to build the atomic bomb during WWII using (somewhat clunky) re-enactments. The film features many accredited scientists including Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer. It ends with a discussion of the dangers of atomic weapons, including the formation of the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists by Albert Einstein, intended to educate the American public about the power of the bomb.

The Union Pacific Railroad sponsored this 1952 travelogue, Northwest Empire, to promote travel to and around the states of Oregon and Washington. The film highlights the places to visit as well as some of the region’s industries. The film begins with a shot of the waves of the Pacific Ocean crashing into the shoreline, streams, wheat fields, and vistas of mountains and harbors. The Union Pacific travels along the Columbia River (02:15), making its way to the city of Portland (03:08). The Willamette River runs through the middle of Portland; an aerial view shows Portland’s Union Station as well as more of the city. The Annual Rose Festival Parade takes place in Portland, featuring the Queen of Roses, marching bands, and various floats (04:22). The passenger Streamliner leaves Portland and heads east for Chicago, passing Multnomah Falls (05:13) on its way. The line also goes up along Puget Sound (05:59), passing Tacoma with Mount Rainier in the background (06:10). The film shows the city of Seattle (06:23), Seattle’s Union station, and the harbor (07:17), where products are loaded onto freight ships while fish are unloaded. Cars drive over the floating bridge on Lake Washington (08:00), which is a popular place of recreation, where people water ski and race speed boats (08:32). A passenger liner leaves Seattle’s harbor (09:19). The film then looks at some of the industries, including the energy industry, powered by the region’s many dams, including The Dalles Dam (09:37), Grand Coulee Dam (10:01), and the Bonneville Dam (10:34).

This film was created for sales personnel with Chevrolet and will take a look, in its first segment, at the 1972 Chevrolet Caprice. Caprice is a full-sized automobile which was manufactured from 1965 to 1996 model years. The film opens with the seal of the Nationwide Consumer Testing Institute Inc. (:25) and the Caprice driving on the road (:36). The distinctive grill and Caprice crest are pointed to (1:09) with a span of the interior (1:14). As it was meant to sit alongside fine cars, a special premium was placed on fine fabrics, quality of workmanship and durability (1:23). Seat durability testing is shown (1:29). The vehicle had a 121 and a ½ inch wheel base (1:39) and sat six passengers on full foam cushions (1:53). To keep road noise down, the double paneled roof with acoustically perforated headliner (2:08) is pointed to as well as the layers of sound insulation (2:18). In addition, a sound deadener seal is sprayed on metal parts (2:22). Other features include the full coiled springs at each wheel (2:52), long wheel base, and variable ratio power steering (3:03). A test follows showing the variable power steering made taking turns and parking easier (3:20). Also, standard is the power assisted braking and power front disk brakes (4:12). Temperature control was an available feature (4:45) and a test conducted in the Engineering room show the inside of the car maintains 72 degrees in either negative 20 degrees or well over a hundred degrees (4:52). The inner fenders (5:16), steel cargo guard (5:25) and steel side guard beams in all the doors are given a closer look (5:32). Another demonstration at the Safety Research and Development lab follows, showing the side guard beams added to occupant safety (5:43).

This black and white documentary film, Lever-age, History of the Toothed Wheel, explains the principles of levers and gears. It was presented by Shell Oil Company, directed by Geoffrey Bell, and narrated by famous announcer Harlow Wilcox. The Shell logo used from 1948 to 1955 finishes the film. However, a description of the 1939 film by Bell called Transfer of Power and also sponsored by Shell Oil matches this film and so this may be a re-release. The film opens with a girl pumping water, a man rowing in a boat, and an ancient carved stone depicting a crowbar (0:43-1:07). An antique counterpoise lift, commonly called a well sweep, is used to move water (1:08-1:22). The basic physics behind a class 1, 2, and 3 lever is demonstrated in a vintage animation (1:23-2:28). A pulley and bucket water well is shown, and the basic lever used to turn it is animated, which progresses into a toothed wheel (2:29-3:08). An antique wooden toothed wheel gear is shown turning a water wheel, powered by a camel (3:09-3:42). Water flows around a Norwegian mill grinding grains, and the antique wooden watermill components are shown, including the levers, shafts, and gears (3:43-5:16). An educational animation demonstrates the basic physics of gear ratio and speed (5:17-6:07). Windy plains with antique windmills in the distance are showcased up close, including their blades, axles, wooden toothed wheel gears, spur gears, grinders, and grain lifts (6:15-8:58). Different uses of antique mills are quickly shown: moving flood water, an antique oil press for nuts and seeds, and an antique power saw for milling wood (8:59-9:19). An intricate metal antique bolt locks and door hinges close (9:31-9:43). Medieval diagrams for mining are shown (9:44-10:02). The internal system of a very early steam engine is shown, including the walking beam lever (10:05-...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2a964fdf-9d36-419a-9d0a-fa717c2b03a2/7275e584-4c77-46b4-bee0-43b4360b0b1f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6g1KuJMWpN5TQfcvc76Y9J</video:player_loc><video:duration>1299</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T19:58:24.229Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/f79eeo1yuWNXZFtDQHkKxR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/848a26e8-4b83-420e-aba1-2d4e89512a63.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1929 HONOLULU, HAWAII &amp; MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE  CANARY ISLANDS GIBRALTAR RABAT ALGIERS (SILENT) 55364</video:title><video:description>Dating to the 1930s, this silent home movie shows a trip around the world starting in Hawaii at 11:00, where Waikiki Beach is shown.

Produced by Vision Associates, the film opens with shots of Roman ruins (00:28) and the Colosseum (01:29) before taking viewers on a tour of Italy, beginning in Rome. A panoramic shot of Rome (03:30) shows the size of the city and its unique skyline. St. Peter’s Square and Basilica (03:42) is the first place the film visits, before taking viewers to other historical points of interest, including: Victor Emmanuel II Monument (04:10), Castel Sant’Angelo (04:16), Capitoline Hill (04:20), Spanish Steps (04:24), Fountain of Neptune (04:27), and Trevi Fountain (04:31). 
Rome’s modern places worth visiting range from bustling streets (04:43) lined with cafes and shops, and top-rated restaurants. Visitors to Rome can take in an evening of opera amid Roman ruins, such as Giuseepi Verdi’s Aida at the old Roman baths of Caracalla (05:46). Da Meo Patacca (06:22) is an outdoor restaurant that takes up an entire city square and features a festive mix of food, wine, singing, and dancing. The island of Sardinia is the next stop. The island (07:30) with its beautiful beaches and rugged landscapes is also home to fine works of art. Weavers use traditional looms (08:08) to make beautiful rugs, while artists create sculptures (08:19) out of metal; the famous sculptor Franco d’Aspro (08:45) works in bronze in his studio.
At the fishing villages of Sardinia (09:04), visitors are welcome and often join fishermen on their fleet for an experience of a lifetime. The highlight of southern Italy is the Amalfi Coast with its famous Amalfi Drive (10:08), a stretch of road that takes visitors past seaside cliffs and small towns.

Shot by an electric railway enthusiast named Ben Young in the early 1950s, this silent 16mm home movie shows trolley cars of Brooklyn, New York including PCC or President's Conference Committee cars which ran from 1936 to 1956.  Filmmaker Ben Young later became the President of the Sunrise Chapter (Long Island) of the National Railroad Historical Foundation. After his passing a portion of his collection  was sold, including 4 reels of 16mm film.This particular film shows the Brooklyn PCCs heading to Coney Island, and throughout the system where the Brooklyn trolleys operated, along with the subway and elevated lines.Trolleys were once such a part of the Brooklyn scene that the local baseball club was named the ‘Trolley Dodgers’, later shortened to Dodgers when the club moved to Los Angeles. At 2:54, a bus is seen -- foreshadowing the future demise of the trolleys. At 23:51 and 25:20, older double truck center-entrance trolleys made by J.G. Brill are briefly seen in service with buses. At 28:45, a NY subway car is seen on the elevated railway.The Brooklyn &amp; Queens Transit Corporation (B&amp;QT) was one of the most active participants in the Electric Railway Presidents’ Conference Committee (ERPCC) that designed the PCC streetcar. BQ&amp;T was the first to test a PCC prototype, and joined Pittsburgh and Chicago as the first to operate production PCCs in late 1936.Brooklyn took delivery of 100 PCCs, all but the first one built by St. Louis Car Co.Brooklyn's PCCs primarily served only three routes: 67-Seventh Ave.; 68-Smith-Coney Island; and 69-McDonald-Vanderbilt. Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia didn’t like streetcars, preferring buses instead. The 100 Brooklyn PCCs were phased out by 1956.

The USS Independence CV-62 is the carrier featured. Carrier aircraft making attack runs over Vietnam are shown at the start of the film, landing on carrier decks at mark 1:00. At mark2:55, 4500 men are on the ship, they make it run; engineers, doctors, pilot, aircraft mechanics, fire men. They all help in running the ship. They work 14hours a day. They handle tons of explosives, works, and mechanics work all day keeping all the aircrafts ready when needed. At mark 5:10, they plan on their missions and how they get in the actual attacks; debriefing each other. At mark 7:20, the aircrafts are taken out every 30seconds as they move out to attack. As seen at mark 9:00, each crafts engages in air strike by firing their missiles. At mark 10:01, they arrived back on the ship. These are the ingredient of an air strike. At mark 11:35, there is a carrier on board delivery plane which brings mails and occasional visitors. They are also loaded with outgoing mails on its way back. At mark 12:45, there are engineers communicating. 4 boilers and 45,000 men need fresh water in great quantities for their preservation. At mark 13:40, the crew men are fed and it could be seen their cafeteria. At mark 14:20, their clothes are been sewn and washed. The work of the ship can be hard and tedious, but there is always a time for them to have privacy as seen at mark14:45. Noise and commotion ar part of the air you breathe. You give up your privacy to the greater needs of your country. All this are only done by a responsible man. Here at home, the independence prepares to relieve a fighting ship on the line as seen at mark 16:15. From 50 states they come, all trained to do their job; from cooking meal to operating the most complex electronic equipment, from repairing tires to launching missiles. All these materials of war as seen at mark 16:33 come from the nation t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bfbb2d94-4251-4cfc-8a91-569f1a16ba0f/eed5fbbf-610e-424d-b56b-a95713c9c286-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pFck6faBi7Mz3Y5xN4H38r</video:player_loc><video:duration>1675</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T20:13:05.861Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tPaEypkZNDuEAL4Mg5TFfa</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8dcc5c96-6954-4238-8cd1-8e06fdedaf30.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" RETURN TO GUAM "  STORY OF GEORGE TWEED, LAST SAILOR ON GUAM  CHAMORROS IN WWII   56324</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

Made in 1944 and released in 1945, ‘Return to Guam’ is a WWII propaganda film that tells the story of George Ray Tweed. Tweed was a decorated radioman of the US Navy who evaded capture by the Japanese for two years and seven months after the surrender of the U.S. garrison in Guam in 1941. The film is presented by the US Navy and combat action scenes were filmed by the Marine Corps and Navy photographers (:27). It opens with a map pointing to Guam’s location (:27) and the shelling of Japanese installations off the island which are interrupted by a message in Morse code (:45). The men aboard the ship decode the message and pick up George Tweed (1:54). He was the only survivor of the Navy garrison that had been installed prior to Japanese invasion (2:12). He had taken to the jungle after the invasion and survived by changing locations daily and even hourly at times (2:17). Tweed was impressed of the size and capabilities of the Navy and shots of the Destroyer (2:43) and 14-inch shells aboard are shown (3:21). Footage follows of what daily life had been like prior to Japanese invasion (4:10) including the schooling that was offered to islanders (4:27), as well as the self-government classes for older students (4:43), and the troops from Guam’s own militia marching (5:15). Japan invaded in December of 1941 (5:52) and footage follows of bombs exploding outside Pan American Airways System (6:18) terminal building as well as a few newspaper headlines telling of the attack (6:21). During the following months, fleets were built up (7:07) and new aircraft was constructed (7:23) to prepare for the attack which would begin at Guadalcanal. Gunfire from warships is shown as Saipan was conquered (8:16). Footage of the actual landing on the beach f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e13ca83b-7315-496d-ad21-801d9d88d309/377db195-4a69-42ef-bd8e-78721bbffa81-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tPaEypkZNDuEAL4Mg5TFfa</video:player_loc><video:duration>1083</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T20:13:36.163Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xqoGaiUwaQCFhUgm5c8Y1r</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b4922037-5145-4e98-b729-d82202125f7d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960 TOUR OF NEW YORK CITY   TIMES SQUARE  RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL   SS UNITED STATES MD52954</video:title><video:description>This beautiful circa Easter 1960 Kodachrome color, silent film, was shot by an amateur filmmaker. It crosses the line between a professional documentary and a home movie, in that it is impressively put together and extremely well shot. It features impressive views of Manhattan.

It was intended to be used as a reference and training film, detailing the operations that went into the retrieval of the dry dock AFDM-2 after Hurricane Betsy in September of that year. The film opens with a painted picture of the Dry-dock in the New Orleans bay with a scrolling marquee script that explains what it is the film is about, and how the film itself is a technical report for the planning and techniques used in the raising and recovered of a capsized AFDM-2 dry-dock. It also reports on the various problems that the engineers and planners had faced during the recovered.At the time this film was made, this was the largest single salvage operation that was performed since the end of World War II. At the end of the marquee note the signature — W.F Searle Jr, Captain of the United States Navy.  History has shown that Searle was responsible for the development of modern equipment and techniques still used today in salvage operations. At the 2:30 mark, the film explains the setting of what had happened to the dry-dock to warrant a salvage operation of this magnitude. Hurricane Betsy touched down in New Orleans in September 1965 and at time was considered the worst hurricane seen in the Gulf of Mexico until 2004's Hurricane Katrina decimated the city. Dry-dock AFDM-2 was lifted from where it was servicing at the time during the storm and had been knocked on it's side 3 miles down river.  It became entrenched in mud and became a safety hazard in the river. As is shown at 3:30, dry-docks like AFDM-2 were important for the well being of ships in the area and showed what they were used for, moving onto the 4:15 mark where the film shows the specifications of the dry-dock itself, including length, width, height, carrying capacity, and...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f198e302-8a9d-42a1-8cb1-881bc6858421/764abad5-ecfa-452d-a480-125dd4c42e2f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vQkJSmWKmy5hHoF3z6ZA7D</video:player_loc><video:duration>1868</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T20:30:32.238Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/i4caaYVcrkKJm5VvDN5HEf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/92511ea8-ff42-4d13-bb89-cfde9a10a5fb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII GUNNERY SIMULATOR FILM LOOP   ARMY AIR FORCES TAIL GUNNER  WALLER TRAINER 86084</video:title><video:description>During WWII, American engineers created a variety of training simulators for pilots and gun crews. This included Fred Waller, whose Waller Gunnery Trainer used multiple film projectors to train aerial gun crews.  Before the war, Waller was in charge of special effects for Paramount Pictures and head of their short-subjects division.  After the war Waller invented the multi-projector Cinerama film and theater format. 

This film is likely a 16mm version of a Waller training film -- which were originally created in 70mm. Perhaps it was meant to be distributed to training centers, where gun crews could use a "poor man's" version of a Waller Trainer. The actual Waller Trainers were quite large and complex. According to a WWII article in Popular Science, Waller's Trainer "reproduced, on a mammoth concave movie screen, attacks by dodging, twisting fighter planes, and shows the gunners how to hit them. The screen is a segment of a sphere, measuring 40 feet from end to end. On this is thrown a picture by five projectors, each covering a separate portion of it. Twenty feet in front of the screen sit the trainees, each in one of four gun positions. They have two gun handles in front of them, just like those on a real .50 caliber machine gun. When the image is thrown on the screen, they can see the wing tips of their own bomber, as well as the approaching fighter. They lead it in their standard Mark 9 reflector sights, pulling the trigger when they think they are on the correct "point of aim." If they are in a free-gun position, instead of a turret position, the gun handles start jumping, the vibrations carefully reproduced to simulate those of a real gun. Through earphones they can hear the authentic sound of their own guns. When a hit is scored, it sounds a 1,000-cycle "beep" in their ears and moves a register on the instructor's control panel."

LESLIE GEHRES (SILENT FOOTAGE)  76614</video:title><video:description>Shot in the aftermath of the devastating fire aboard the USS Franklin in March 1945, this silent movie footage was shot by U.S. Navy cameraman for a documentary about the incident. At 1:30, crew play cards. At 3:00, you will see burned out interior spaces of the carrier, standing in start contrast to parts of the ship that were untouched by fire. At 3:44, a sailor holds a hardhat that must have been worn during the fire. At 5:30, an African American officer or possibly chaplain is seen in the ship. At 5:53 the commander of the vessel, Capt. Leslie E. Gehres, is shown with the ship's burned flag displayed behind him. Leslie Edward Gehres was a naval aviator who reached the rank of rear admiral in the United States Navy, being one of the "mustang" officers who rose from enlisted man to admiral's rank. At 7:54, an African American cook or mess steward is shown pouring coffee. At 8:23 a sailor gets a medical check by a ship's doctor. At 10:16 a sailor is asked questions by a doctor who might be a psychiatrist, as he writes extensive notes after the visit. At 11:50 sailors leave the vessel.

Unfortunately we do not know more about this particular film, who shot it, or why.

The USS Franklin (CV/CVA/CVS-13, AVT-8), nicknamed "Big Ben," was one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II for the United States Navy, and the fifth US Navy ship to bear the name. Commissioned in January 1944, she served in several campaigns in the Pacific War, earning four battle stars. She was badly damaged by a Japanese air attack in March 1945, with the loss of over 800 of her crew, becoming the most heavily damaged United States carrier to survive the war. Movie footage of the actual attack was included in the 1949 film Task Force starring Gary Cooper.After the attack, she returned to the U.S. mainland for repairs, missing the rest of the war; she was decommissioned in 1947. While in reserve, she was reclassified as an attack carrier (CVA), then an antisubmarine ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7dca56bb-99a5-4876-a854-91c23b7e6a22/192bd728-e163-464e-bdd8-3a891704d26e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gwVsEVjTnJ8SLPceQLpUYb</video:player_loc><video:duration>775</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T20:34:00.738Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9spVo1is56cdQJgBxicLxG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9074b153-64d0-4bc3-9351-bba75d831acb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PENN CENTRAL RAILROAD 1968 PROMOTIONAL FILM  "CALL US PENN CENTRAL"  MD52184</video:title><video:description>Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm  Even a really tiny contribution can make a difference.

“Call Us Penn Central” is a circa 1968 color promotional film about the Penn Central Transportation Company, a railroad company created by the 1968 merger of the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads that operated from 1968 until 1976. In 1970, the company filed for what was, at that time, the largest bankruptcy in US history. The first few minutes are filled with scenes of railroad yards and locomotives before the narrator presents a litany of locations and job occupations ranging from resort complexes, basketball games, and amusement parks to research scientists and locomotive engineers before finally revealing at mark 03:38 that such scenes “and many many more are parts of the Penn Central, America’s largest transportation company.” Accompanied by graphics, the narrator goes on to say how the company has more than 20,000 miles of tracks serving 100 million people in 14 states, two Canadian provinces, and the District of Columbia. We see scenes of the company’s rail operations starting at mark 04:00 while being reminded that the company’s passenger service lines had lost revenue due to changing patterns in pubic travels. As a result the company would be refocusing efforts on shorter “Metroliner” commuter routes between Washington, D.C. and New York City, we are told, as scenes of workers reconfiguring tracks are shown. “Freight traffic, of course, is the backbone of the Penn Central,” the narrator says at mark 06:45. As scenes of rail yard traffics is shown, the narrator explains how the company is also working toward improving that aspect of the business, particularly in reaching out to new coal markets in Ohio and Pennsylvania, as well as the grain and automobile industries. A newly acquired diesel locomotive (one of 250 added to the fleet) is paraded before the camera at mark 09:30, considered another step in improving service, as is th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/44793050-98b1-4537-a4a5-a18c93cdbfc6/014311e5-675c-410d-ba2e-1bd1950145ff-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9spVo1is56cdQJgBxicLxG</video:player_loc><video:duration>1152</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T20:36:57.086Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vC6NHrzRSuPtRnySLap7m1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/23f1fba5-7c79-4dd1-8622-2123a5741e66.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s HOME MOVIE   LOW RIDER CAR PARADE   EAST LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA (SILENT FILM) 16914</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This impressive silent movie shows the Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad. This line was among the first of a number of 2 foot (610mm) narrow gauge railroads to be built within the state of Maine. Dating to 1879 the railroad connected the towns of Strong, Phillips and Farmington. It was a common carrier railroad that operated approximately 112 miles (180 km) of track in Franklin County, Maine. Although abandoned in the mid 1930s a piece of the railroad has been rebuilt within the town of Phillips, 128 Bridge Street, where a museum occupies the area with a short stretch of track restored. The film was photographed in the 1930s towards the end of its operation.Highlights include:00:25 Railbus at Phillips01:24 Farmington meet with the standard gauge Maine Central02:35 Snow scenes with steam engines05:39 Mainline trains between Farmingting and Phillips, making a connection with the Kingfield Branch train09:00 Scenes at Strong, dismantling of track12:41 Phillips scenes14:09 In May 1935 the remaining portions of the railroad were sold for scrap. On May 30 the last trains operated.14:30 Numbers 18 and 23 coming out of engine house. #23 was a Baldwin 2-6-2 built in 1913. It was the largest 2 foot gauge engine in the United States. #18 was built by MEC in 1916 and also 2-6-2. Probably the last operating SR&amp;RL engine.18:49 junction at South StrongWe encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

We see the rolling greens hills and valleys as well as the Atlantic coastline and farmland of Southern New England starting at mark 00:20 as the narrator explains how the region is the cradle of American liberty. Offering “a wholesome way of life” we’re told how the area is also known for its railroads as a train speeds past at mark 01:30, and that the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company is a reminder of the trains that made New England great. We learn of the first diesel electric switcher in New England at mark 01:50 and see passenger and freight trains as well as freight yards such as the Cedar Hill Yard in New Haven, Connecticut (mark 02:38) as the narrator touts their various upgrades and associated benefits. We learn how fright line schedules are coordinated with other railroad companies. The film visits a freight yard in Maybrook, New York, as cars are coupled with engines and cabooses. Near mark 06:00 the film looks at some of the obstacles train lines face, including operating at different elevations including within valleys, each presenting a different power need. At mark 06:45 we learn how diesel electric engines (like the one made by Alco and GE) have alleviated some problems and provide more motoring power while taking a detailed look at the behemoths. “What a powerful puller our diesel electric is,” the narrator boasts at mark 11:41, while continuing to explain how diesel engines make better time than steamers because they do not have to routine make stops for water. Such advancements, the viewer is reminded, are symbols of the train line’s “railroad leadership.”

This color educational film "The Penetrating Eye" is about the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The film was produced by Eli Lilly, a leading medical technology company, and made by Wexler. Portions of the film were likely shot at the Donner Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, under the supervision of Thomas L. Hayes, Ph.D. The SEM is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons. The electrons interact with atoms in the sample, producing various signals that contain information about the surface topography and composition of the sample. Copyright 1970. 

Opening: a skeleton x-ray. A woman. Scanning electron microscope. Title: The Penetrating Eye (:16-1:44). A woman, Anna, in a lab coat looks through a microscope. Microscopic image, when using a scanning electron microscope, the image is more in a three dimensional way. Red blood cells appear closer. A man takes a blood smear on a slide and puts into a machine uses it. The slide is inserted into an airlock chamber. Another door is looked at and opened. Voltage on a machine is turned up. A result of the new imaging is shown (1:45-3:57). The man looks at the enchanted red blood cells. Magnification is turned up for enhancement. The red blood cells are looked at in an enhanced photograph. Enhanced red blood cell. Target cell is looked at. Red cells (3:58-6:03). Enhanced red cells. Ion-etched red blood cells. Other enhanced cells. Nerve Tissue under the scanning electron microscope. Nerve fiber and sensory cells. Sensory hairs enhanced. Ann's face looks with her eyes (6:04-7:47).

Viewers see a pile of fiberglass fibers on a table and then products made from reinforced plastic. A man pours a polyester resin into a cup (00:56), then adds a few drops of a chemical hardener called the catalyst. The man pours the hardened resin onto a sheet of cellophane and adds pieces of string to reinforce the plastic (01:34). There is a close-up shot of fiberglass strands (02:09), which are the best product to use for reinforced plastic. The man pours more hardened resin on cellophane (02:35); then he places a fiberglass cloth on it and adds more resin on top. The film shows a variety of products made from fiberglass and laminating (03:05). Using a plywood mold, the man mixes polyester resin and hardener together, then pours the mixture onto the mold. He sands the plastic on the wood (04:00), then buffs the plastic on the wood. Next, he brushes on a water-soluble release agent. He shows the completed mold. Next, the film shows how to make a laminate with color using a piece of fabric. The film shows all the supplies laid out on the work table beforehand (06:27). The man demonstrates this with the same process as before. After mixing the resin and catalyst, the man pours the resin onto the plywood mold, adds fiberglass, more resin, and then places the piece of fabric on the mold face-down. This is covered with more resin; a fiberglass cloth is added next for a smooth backing (08:35). The man takes the mold off the plastic and trims the edges of the laminate (09:20); he files the edges with a plane, then he uses abrasive paper to sand the edges. The man uses a fine band saw to cut the laminate then buffs the piece on the buffing wheel. Viewers see the completed laminate (11:09). Next, the film covers the steps to repair a piece of reinforced plastic—in this case a h...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/91d8368e-b808-41f8-870a-9cb1e443bbdc/d69adec5-af73-4f60-bf03-ecf9756967c1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/j1xZF5TFKGvJKcG7aRZkLy</video:player_loc><video:duration>792</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T20:53:21.181Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/a4KhmC6hkhzRQshPuN9YYr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b56b8c24-ea46-4da8-a414-1aeadc2b9ece.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NEW YORK, NEW YORK 1950s NEW YORK CITY &amp; STATE TRAVELOGUE  MD52104</video:title><video:description>The Big Apple and the Empire State are the focus of the 1950s travel film, “New York.” It opens with scenes of skyscrapers and bustling streets as the narrator explains how they are symbols of a great metropolis. Some of them famous around the world — such as the Waldorf-Astoria (mark 01:03) or Grand Central Station (mark 01:20). The film proclaims NYC as a mix of new and old, and we see scenes from an art show in Greenwich Village (mark 01:55) and St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery in the East Village (mark 02:25), which was consecrated in 1799. From here we go to Radio City (mark 03:07) and its outdoor skating rink and look at Central Park and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Heading Uptown, the film shows us Columbia University (mark 04:20) and the tomb of US President Ulysses S. Grant (mark 04:49). There is a ticker tape parade on Broadway and we view the neon lights of Broadway and Time Square before viewing the Statue of Liberty (mark 05:45) in New York Harbor and city’s many bridges and tunnels. There are several scenes of visitors enjoying all that Long Island has to offer before visiting the Hudson River (mark 11:35) and the United States Military Academy at West Point (mark 12:09) as cadets march in formation. Before long the camera shows us Albany, the state capitol, and we learn of all it has to offer before shuffling off to Buffalo (14:10). Moving out of the big cities, there are idyllic views from Whiteface Mountain (mark 16:08) and later Old Fort Niagara (mark 18:25) originally built in 1678. Of course, there are breath-taking scenes from Niagara Falls starting at mark 19:35 as the narrator touts its natural beauty. After boasting of more of the state’s great outdoors, the film takes to the sky at mark 23:32 with a visit to Elmira — “glider capital of the world.” There are many scenes from state parks beginning at mark 24:55 and the Sant Lawrence River (mark 27:00) and the Thousand Islands (mark 27:27) which constitute an archipelago of 1,864 islands...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/49682719-033f-4c93-b741-424b75258809/6721d890-6da0-4070-8c63-947120d513d9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/a4KhmC6hkhzRQshPuN9YYr</video:player_loc><video:duration>1942</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T20:59:53.015Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hzw5ANqRN3RsbshuQBZNGC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d4830805-b6a4-4034-8260-6b082446ca72.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1972 "A BRIEFING ON CIVIL DEFENSE" NUCLEAR FALLOUT FILM 72132</video:title><video:description>Created in 1972, "A Briefing on Civil Defense" attempts to present significant facts about radiological fallout, the fallout shelter program, and the national civil defense program.

These silent home movies of the Brooklyn and New York City Rapid Transit system were shot by Artie Keyser in 1955-56.  The film shows the Fulton Street Line, an elevated line running at Liberty Avenue.The Fulton Street Line, also called the Fulton Street Elevated or Kings County Line, was an elevated rail line mostly in Brooklyn, New York City, United States. It ran above Fulton Street from Fulton Ferry, Brooklyn in Downtown Brooklyn east to East New York, and then south on Van Sinderen Avenue (southbound) and Snediker Avenue (northbound), east on Pitkin Avenue, north on Euclid Avenue, and east on Liberty Avenue to Ozone Park, Queens. The portion in Brooklyn has been torn down, but most of the line in Queens has been connected to the New York City Subway and is now part of the IND Fulton Street Line (a portion of the A and C), an underground line that replaced the elevated line in Brooklyn. The structure was the main line of the Kings County Elevated Railway, first opened in 1888. This portion of the line west of Hudson Street (now 80th Street) was closed on April 26, 1956, and Fulton Street subway trains began using the line east of Hudson Street on April 29.

This silent and rather amazing home movie dates to 1929. Entitled "California or Bust", it was shot by a member of the Georgia Tech football team or one of its boosters to document the team's trip to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl. This was the first appearance for Georgia Tech in a post season bowl game. They had run through their regular season schedule. This included a 13–0 win over Notre Dame and a 20–6 win over Georgia in the Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate rivalry game. They were named national champion by two organizations. They were invited by the Tournament of Roses committee to play in the game. The film begins with shots of the team buses (:19) which appear to be Yellow Coaches owned by Winn Motor Lines. One of the buses is named the "Tornado Special". At :53, a wide open space is seen, somewhere during the grueling journey west. At 1:15, a stop in Arizona is seen where a "wildcat" is on display. At 1:37, team members pose outside one of the buses (and wow it looks cold out there) probably somewhere in Arizona. At 2:00 some team members try to ride a donkey. At 2:34 the team is seen in Yuma, Arizona where Native American women are seen on a bridge selling necklaces. At 2:55 the team transfers to a train for a fast journey to Los Angeles. At 3:24, the team visits the funicular railroad at Mt. Lowe outside of Pasadena. At 3:36, views are seen from a trolley car line that took visitors high into the San Gabriel mountains. At 4:03, a horse car is seen on Mt. Lowe, apparently pushing a trolley car uphill. At 4:21, the port of Long Beach or San Pedro is seen. At 4:45 a warship appears in the harbor. At 4:58 a woman or flapper named Patsy Allen is seen. Possibly she was an actress as there is one on IMDB with the same name. At 5:25 C...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/23364d9d-905d-4ae3-9e40-286ba6078043/28a82660-3b14-4060-bc72-604d9741cad5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5mc9RXqbnGQ6RF5ZzmZuRR</video:player_loc><video:duration>1057</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T21:08:06.302Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jQEtPux7EtdZFgUBtzLVuv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/316b4db9-24d5-4b56-a4cb-02e371404dd3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s GERMAN FILM    FISHING FOR COD IN ICELAND  CODFISH INDUSTRY (SILENT MOVIE) 70014</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This rare film shows a series of missile launches and failures at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Among the ICBMs featured are the Atlas, Titan and Minuteman.  Vandenberg is a Department of Defense space and missile testing base, with a mission of placing satellites into polar orbit from the West Coast, using expendable boosters. ICBM testing at Vandenberg commenced in 1958 with the IRBM Thor, and rapidly progressed.  During the period 1958 to 1963, Thor, Atlas, Titan I, Titan II and Minuteman ballistic missiles were launched from Vandenberg. ICBM testing at the site effectively ended with the LGM-118 Peacekeeper, which last flew out of Vandy in July of 2004.

An opening crawl explains that purpose, to pay tribute to men and women who work in the design industry — those “who work in lines, forms and textures, and colors to give to us beauty, charm, and elegance in the conveniences, comforts, and necessities of our daily living.” A "tribute to the American stylist," American Look shows families at leisure, children dressed in cowboy and cowgirl outfits watching television, a father shooting home movies of his picnicking family, modern 1950s home interiors graced by formally dressed models, furniture (including designs by Herman Miller), kitchens and kitchen equipment, packaging (including designs by Donald Deskey), appliances, textiles, offices and office furniture, office machines, industrial machines, lawn mowers and sprinklers, domestic and institutional architecture, people at leisure and enjoying recreation, children playing baseball, a mother and child in a transparent rowboat being observed by the snorkeling father, automobile styling and design and the work of the design staff of the new General Motors Technical Center at Warren, Michigan. The story behind the design of the 1959 Chevrolet Impala is shown, with dramatized moments in the design and modeling process. The film lumps industrial, interior and product design efforts together as "styling," and characterizes them as responses by industry to insistent consumer demands for the most modern products and environment. During the last third of this twenty-eight-minute film, it becomes clear that it was produced to celebrate modern design as exemplified in the "look" of the 1959 Chevrolets, the year that tail fins stretched to their greatest extent.

This is among some of the earliest extant footage of trains moving, as audiences in small theaters had the illusion that they were seeing the real thing. (The famous story is that audiences seeing a train headed straight for them panicked and bolted from the theater!) These short films were photographed by the Edison and Biograph Companies. In order to register a copyright they had to be transferred to a paper positive, looking like motion picture film. During the late 1950s these paper positives, stored at the Library of Congress, were recopied onto new movie film, and sold as copies to collectors. This film contains the following:00:47 New Jersey Central Flyer passing under the Pennsylvania Railroad at Elizabeth, NJ01:36 Lehigh Valley Black Diamond Express passing through Lehigh Gorge, Pennsylvania02:24 New York and West Shore,, New York04:40 Ulster and Delaware passing through Kingston, NY05:17 Pennsylvania Railroad Horseshoe Curve, heading east around the curve06:50 Grand Trunk Railroad, Michigan at the Sarnia Tunnel09:22 Lehigh Valley Rotary snow plows in action10:50 Lehigh Valley Black Diamond Express ... followed by Empire State Express on the New York &amp; Hudson, a Ghost train and Empire State Express passing over track pans.We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

This film "Within this Decade" draws its title from John F. Kennedy's speech, which challenged America to land a man on the Moon by the end of the 1960s. The movie presents a summary of NASA's progress and traces the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs.  The film opens with shots of the Moon’s cratered surface (:25) and the title screen (1:25). Unmanned space crafts were tested and developed in NASA’s research centers (1:58). The footage shown was collected from unmanned space crafts (2:12). A new family of satellites had been developed. They were to initially carry instruments, and later carry life, into space in order to understand how it would react to the space environment (3:20). NASA also sought to explore for other signs of life (3:49) and therefore sent an unmanned craft to view Venus’s surface (3:58) as well as deep space probes to visit Mars (4:34). New instruments were developed to investigate the lunar surface (5:19). Footage from some of these follow (5:26) including an unmanned craft collecting information from the surface (5:48) and shots retrieved of lunar surfaces from a craft that had mapped 95% of the moon (6:12). All of this helped to confirm that the moon’s surface was safe for the future lunar landing mission (6:24). For on Earth advancements, satellites were now able to track weather, to be used as beacons for navigation (6:53), and for photographing storm clusters (7:25). For communication, the large balloon, that was Project Echo (8:09); the first passive communications experiment was developed. It acted as reflector of microwave signals bouncing these signals from one location to Earth. These advancements were also made available to television programs (8:30). Sveriges Radio is seen on a camera (8:35) which is Sweden’s nationally publicly funded radio broadcaster showing advancem...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d4ef3828-72fc-4813-bb18-e7ac2f71d305/54c20a9f-6724-41c0-a07f-dd8bfc8e3034-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/si4cq9diw3ceN6uV4FaKsv</video:player_loc><video:duration>1719</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T21:40:06.343Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2xEKJyZ8uHT54yGdfVHYxF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c1daac3e-42e1-4f7f-ad37-362a7624884b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s NEW YORK CITY &amp; EMPIRE STATE PROMOTIONAL MOVIE  "ALL ABOUT NEW YORK"  MD51564</video:title><video:description>The 1960s Technicolor film by Owen Murphy, “All About New York” takes it viewer through the Big Apple and the Empire State. It opens with a view of the Empire State Building (mark 00:45) in New York City before sharing glimpses of a fisherman at Montauk Point, the Catskills, Coney Island, Lake Placid, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the United Nations, and Times Square. “New York can be many things,” the narrator assures the viewer, before touching on the state’s history and the roles of such explorers as Henry Hudson and Samuel de Champlain. Next is an aerial view of New York Harbor (mark 02:52) and a look at Manhattan, followed with a visit to Fort Ticonderoga (mark 04:22), as the narrator explains its importance to the region. Villages, towns, and cities began to grow in the area, the narrators tells us, as he explains how the Erie Canal, completed in 1825, helped transport goods between Buffalo and Albany (mark 06:21) and opened new avenues of prosperity. That was followed by the Mohawk &amp; Hudson Railroad (mark 07:15), the first railroad built in the state and one of the first in the country. From there the film takes on a series of factory and manufacturing scenes promoting industry in the state that eventually grew into vast industrial centers (mark 09:00) and brought skilled laborers to New York. The screens flashes upon various trades including rug makers, silversmiths, glass makers, and fashion designers while the narrators praises each career. There is a visit to a “modern” food processing plant (mark 12:49) in Canajoharie, New York, and scenes of men and women working with everything from copper to leather to telephones. The film shows rows of telephone operators and military officers huddled around radar screens as the narrators explains such communication devices are made throughout the state, and how “IBM electronic wonders” are changing the face of industry (mark 15:52). “It’s understandable why New York became the industrial leader of the nation,” says the...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0c85141b-f700-4e98-9f6e-c91d2a748f85/e781b972-3090-4a2f-9ed8-9b1f53593441-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2xEKJyZ8uHT54yGdfVHYxF</video:player_loc><video:duration>2069</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T21:46:09.782Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ntboxotz9jiGyLFwCY7uDJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b8b67629-7ff2-470d-bff3-2606a7f75fe5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s TV SHOW " FLIGHT "  w/ GEN.

This reel "Melodrama Rides the Rails" is a compilation that includes three short films dealing with railroads in the early 20th Century. These are examples of early filmmaking depicting this mode of transportation in a dramatic form. These films were exhibited initially in nickelodeons and peep show houses, in which there was a large room with viewing machines. Individuals would insert a penny into a devise, look into it, a light would go on, and the viewer would crack the machine as the images were projected via film or flip cards, mounted on a wheel.The first two films produced by Edison and Biograph were copied from paper positives deposited in the Library of Congress in the early 20th century. The third, made by Vitagraph, was transferred from a 35mm print.Railroads were ideal subjects in this history of filmmaking as they were fast moving objects, and provided moments of suspense and romance as the train sped its way throughout the country.  01:57 – 02:47 A RAILROAD SMASHUP, Edison, 1904. At county fairs, a popular show was to have two retired steam locomotives, set on opposite sides on one track, and then, unattended, come at each other, crash and explode. Such was the nature of excitement for the paying audience. So, here, two some retired 4-4-0 locomotives run at each other, collide and explode. This was a sad way to see retired steam engines to pass onto eternity, and in at least one instance innocent onlookers were killed by flying debris from the crash.02:48    A RAILROAD TRAGEDY, Biograph, 1904.

The camera pans up from a stream to show a suspension bridge high above (:25-:35). Shown are a stone bridge, bridge arches, and covered bridges (:36-:49). A drawbridge closes (1:55). Pittsburgh has many bridges (2:13-3:08). An animation shows suspension bridges can be anchored into the water (typical) or self-anchored to the road (3:09-3:39). The bridge crossing the Monongahela River is the typical construction, with tower piers and main cables of parallel wires draped over the towers and from cable bands at spaced intervals  (3:40-4:10). The bridge spanning the Allegheny River is self-anchored with links and suspenders of forged steel I-bars (4:11-4:44). Men in hard hats carry preformed bridge strand cables to make the Paseo Suspension Bridge. The strands are pulled off giant reels and lifted by pulley to a man on the top of a girder. Filler strips keep the strands perfectly parallel to each other while sockets are locked. The wires are pulled to a predefined tension (4:45-7:43). A simply hydraulic compacting device squeezes the cable to its final size and shape. The cable is temporarily banded and marked to show where it is to be attached (7:44-8:03). Two bridge construction workers wear safety lines while they straddle banded cable high in the air. Another group works off a large moving scaffold hung from wooden rollers (8:04-8:35). A bridge suspender rope is swung to a worker. The sockets on the ends of the suspenders are fitted into their seats on the girders beneath the roadway and secured by bolts (8:36-9:00). The wire wrapping machine is shown in operation (9:06-9:22). Red protective paste is applied (9:28). Splicing two spools of wrapping wire is shown, followed by the wrapping machine (9:38-10:00).

The craft was launched in Long Beach, California. The midget submarine was designed by Edmund Martine, who previously designed a series of diving bells for his San Diego business Martine Diving Belles,. Cetacean was intended for undersea exploration and photography. The boat had a three-man crew which included Ed Zender, but we've been unable to learn much about its career. Martine told local press at the time of the boat's launch that it could withstand pressures up to five miles underwater. Another craft built by Martine in 1956 (possibly a modified version of Cetacean?) the Submanaut was featured in MGM's "Around the World Underwater" and cruised from Miami to the Bahamas, Cuba and Italy under its own diesel/electric propulsion. The Cetacean supposedly had a range of 35 miles and weighed 50 tons. 

The film also contains footage of scuba divers filming underwater with waterproof camera housings.

“The Voice Beneath the Sea” is a color film produced by John Sutherland and presented by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company’s Long Lines Department. Produced in the late 1950s, it details the joint communication venture between Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom and the creation of the first transatlantic telephone cable system. Launched in 1956, the system was designed to link both the United States and Canada to the UK, with facilities for some circuits to be leased to other West European countries. The cable provided 30 telephone circuits to the US and six to Canada. Most were for communication with the UK, the rest were connected through London to give direct access to Europe. Undertaken by Britain’s Post Office Engineering Department, along with the American Telegraph and Telephone Company, Bell Telephone Laboratories and the Canadian Overseas Telecommunications Corporation, the project took three years to complete. (During its first year of service, the TAT1 — or Transatlantic No. 1 cable — carried twice as many calls as the radio circuits had done in a year – about 220,000 calls between Britain and the United States, and 75,000 between Britain and Canada.)Narrated by film actor John Hiestand and produced by John Sutherland (who voiced the adult Bambi in the famed 1942 movie), the film begins its discussion of the TAT1 cable in 1953, and at mark 01:13 we learn of the early stages of the program in New York, London, and Montreal. Through the use of animation, the film explains the complexity of sound patterns and how they are amplified and re-amplified. Oceans, however, limited radio relay system that had typically been used in making calls, the viewer learns at mark 05:35. Radio waves helped elimina...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fd803818-3918-4932-ac57-8eb54013052f/e1f5f267-c8db-4422-8480-5fb56ac4dea0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xiAwqV1zMkBmmLD2FUk6Gk</video:player_loc><video:duration>1629</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T22:13:55.007Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hXjmRdGbhJRgPvKDAtYZBG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6ed20854-3c70-4ace-a950-46fbfe52d50e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY WWII RADAR MOVIE "CONQUEST OF THE NIGHT" 56564</video:title><video:description>Dating to 1945, CONQUEST OF THE NIGHT shows the uses of one of the Allies' great weapons developments -- radar.  Here the technology is used at sea to locate and destroy a Japanese ship.  The combat information center aboard the American ship relays facts derived by radar on the range, speed, direction, etc., of the target, in total darkness. The U.S. ship fires its torpedoes. As the torpedoes hit, the ship fires a salvo. Radar shows the salvo to be too long; the range is corrected and the enemy ship is sunk.  The film states that future developments of radar depend on money from the sale of Victory bonds….Radar was secretly developed by several nations before and during World War II. The term RADAR was coined in 1940 by the United States Navy as an acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging.The term radar has since entered English and other languages as a common noun, losing all capitalization.We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

This silent 16mm home movie contains footage shot in both Honolulu, Hawaii and New South Wales and Queensland, Australia.  Some of it appears to be professionally shot from the 1940s but most of it is amateur footage from the 1960s. Two sections in particular, showing surfing in Hawaii and pineapple harvesting and processing, are likely commercial films that were sold in tourist shops in Honolulu in the 1940s-1960s. 

It begins with surfing footage that appears to date to the 1940s shot on Waikiki Beach. At 1:18 a waterman stands on his head on a board, and at 1:22 a woman rides tandem with a native surfer. At 1:45 a woman sits on the shoulders of a surfer as he rides the waves onto the beach. At 2:38 a canoe dodges surfers on its way to the beach. At 3:07 large waves are seen. At 3:45 a surfer and his girl walk on the beach towards the waves. At 3:57 a tourist walks on the shore. At 4:10-7:00 surfers ride big waves. This footage may be from Australia, it's unclear.

It likely dates to 1973 when the aircraft was first flown. At 2:19 the aircraft is seen mated to a mothership B-52. At 4:27 are some brief shots of the aircraft being dropped at altitude. 

The Martin Marietta X-24 was an American experimental aircraft developed from a joint United States Air Force-NASA program named PILOT (1963–1975). It was designed and built to test lifting body concepts, experimenting with the concept of unpowered reentry and landing, later used by the Space Shuttle. The X-24A was modified into the more stable X-24B with an entirely different shape in 1972. The bulbous shape of the X-24A was converted into a "flying flatiron" shape with a rounded top, flat bottom, and double delta planform that ended in a pointed nose. It was the basis for the Martin SV-5J. The X-24A shape was later borrowed for the X-38 Crew Return Vehicle (CRV) technology demonstrator for the International Space Station.

The X-24 was drop launched from a modified B-52 Stratofortress at high altitudes before igniting its rocket engine; after expending its rocket fuel, the pilot would glide the X-24 to an unpowered landing.

The X-24B's design evolved from a family of potential reentry shapes, each with higher lift-to-drag ratios, proposed by the Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory. To reduce the costs of constructing a research vehicle, the Air Force returned the X-24A to the Martin Marietta Corporation (as Martin Aircraft Company became after a merger) for modifications that converted its bulbous shape into one resembling a "flying flatiron"—rounded top, flat bottom, and a double delta planform that ended in a pointed nose.

First to fly the X-24B was John Manke, a glide flight on 1 August 1973. He was also the pilot on the first powered mission 15 November 1973.

The X-24B demonstrated that accurate unpowered reentry vehicle landings were operationally feasible. Top speed achieved...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e7280b1f-e077-4cd2-836a-4cdde9a93e1e/5642ad17-6efb-49b5-a233-3cf7915bc19d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uxyC5S9yPxZuABXuubfVAE</video:player_loc><video:duration>363</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T22:32:52.242Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4C93bVwhDoJKyhqbdH9fh2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0e3d414b-0e5f-4028-b285-7980ec360b73.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1932 LAKE PLACID WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES   IIIrd OLYMPICS  MD86554a</video:title><video:description>This historic, silent film shows highlights of the 1932 Winter Olympics, officially known as the III Olympic Winter Games, held in Lake Placid, New York. The games opened on February 4 and closed on February 15. It was the first of four Winter Olympics held in the United States; Lake Placid hosted again in 1980.The games were awarded to Lake Placid in part by the efforts of Godfrey Dewey, head of the Lake Placid Club and son of Melvil Dewey, inventor of the Dewey Decimal System. California also had a bid for the 1932 Winter Games. William May Garland, president of the California X Olympiad Association, wanted the games to take place in Wrightwood and Big Pines, California. The world's largest ski jump at the time was constructed in Big Pines for the event, but the games were ultimately awarded to Lake Placid.The film opens with shots of Lake Placid (:25) before showing then-Governor Roosevelt opening the games at (1:02) and the march of athletes from 17 nations.  At (2:15) there is an aerial shot of the Olympic Arena hockey venue. Canada won the Gold and was undefeated in this sport. At (4:06) the 10,000 meter speed skating race is shown, won by American Irving Jaffee in under 20 minutes.  The film also shows Kit Klein winning the 1500 meter women's race in 3 minutes, six seconds (6:14). At (7:00) the women's figure skating event is shown. Quite a bit different than the modern event that's for sure!At 8:44 a sled dog race is shown. At 10:41 the intimidating ski jump, won by Birger Ruud of Norway with a distance of 218 feet. The 2-man bob sled is seen at 12:44. This event was won by the Stevens Brothers of the USA with a time of just under 4 minutes, 20 seconds.

It was presented by Bethlehem Steel. The film begins with a bird’s eye view of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. A statue of Joseph Straus, chief engineer, is panned up. The bridge is shown from afar (0:11-1:20). A vintage illustration shows the topography and side-view of the bridge’s construction (1:21-3:57). Black and white footage prior to the bridge’s construction began in 1933 shows the Bethlehem Steel Companies’ factories, including the massive steel trusses in fabrication, parts being transported by train and boat, and cranes lifting sections for transport (3:58-4:47). Workers pour and plane the concrete on a yet-unfinished tower (4:48-6:21). A vintage color illustration shows the measurements and basic layout of a tower (6:22-6:59). Photos of workmen craning and measuring parts are shown. A crane moves a large piece of steel to the tower off a boat (7:00-8:22). Crane workers move large pieces of steel into the base of the bridge (8:23-9:35). A photograph of the first diagonal brace is shown, and the traveler – the crane system used to build the sections – is raised (9:36-10:32). Workers weld rivets on scaffolding, movable platforms, and elevators, shown being raised up and down the bridge (10:33-11:54). Ariel footage is shown of the towers during construction, and the final part of the north tower is craned into place (11:55-13:43). Photos show the progression of construction for the San Francisco tower (13:44-15:30). Workmen use automatically-turning spinning carriages to “stitch” the north and south shores together with 80,000 miles of wire (13:44-16:28). The finished cable bundles are shown, and those bundles are wrapped with galvanized wire (16:29-17:05). A vintage illustration shows the basic anatomy of the road span (17:06-18:50).

This film is presented by General Motors (:04) and it is composed of two films, the first being “All things Considered”. This first segment focuses on the year 1975. As the Clean Air Act had been established in 1970, fuel costs and emission standards became a deciding factor in purchasing vehicles. A couple goes over finances (:18) with items such as annual fuel costs and maintenance being of most importance. In 1975 GM developed new efficiency systems to keep operating costs low (:47). The catalytic converter was added which was full of pellets that as exhaust fumes flowed through the pellets would convert carbon monoxide and hydro carbon into harmless fumes (1:28). These converters were installed into all models directly as result of the need to meet California and Federal emission standards. All of their 1975 models were to use unleaded gas (1:54), which was able to lengthen the life of spark plugs to 22,500 miles. The time between oil changes went up to 75,000 miles (2:17). A special nozzle had been designed to prevent usage of the wrong fuel (2:25) though the catalytic converter was still able to take one full gallon of leaded gas before damage (2:35). In the event it was damaged, only the pellets would have to be replaced (2:46). The high energy ignition system contained single wire leads to the ignition and spark plugs (3:07). The new systems again lead to simplified tunings up to 22,500 miles compared to every 6,000 miles previous models (3:44). The torque converter re-calibrator is shown (4:16). The GM steel belted radial tires also added to fuel mileage (4:36) and they are seen tested. The film then switches to an advertisement the 1975 Monte Carlo (5:46). The Monte Carlo was first manufactured in 1970 and continued on and off until 2007. 1974 was the peak year for sales of this model; afterward...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2a78a3dd-625e-4971-9a78-a8a3e0ffbe35/58e0c650-926e-4d26-8515-f687ce06b119-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6fbAWM77xEeMSLaTZsY6tB</video:player_loc><video:duration>718</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T22:42:52.171Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8g5NkhZDwgk1FGmsNBLkV9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a2cb4efd-ee87-4473-9113-df1208f84db6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE BLUEJACKET'S MANUAL"  1942 U.S. NAVY RECRUITING FILM   NAVY SHIPS &amp; AIRCRAFT   21674</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

NYSE MKT LLC, formerly known as the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), is an American stock exchange situated in New York City, New York. AMEX was previously a mutual organization, owned by its members. Until 1953, it was known as the New York Curb Exchange.The film begins with shots of the AMEX floor including the visitor's gallery, where the public could watch the frenzied exchange of stock. Hand signals are seen at 1:08, resulting in the sale of thousands of dollars of stock. At 1:30, a new broker who has just achieved a seat on the exchange is shown arriving for work. His mentors talk to him about how to handle stock purchasing customers and how to counsel investors. At 4:30, the Gold Rush is shown, and there is a discussion of how the stock market helps American commerce grow and thrive. At 5:00 the so-called "curb market" is re-enacted on the streets of Manhattan.  At 6:00, the curb market on Wall Street caused a change of venue, to 44 Broad Street, but the trading posts were still outside. At 7:30, the 1908 meeting of leading brokers to form the "New York Curb Agency", which was the forerunner of the AMEX. At 9:20, the arrival of the telephone revolutionized stock trading, but also (as the film shows) caused chaos.

At 14:50, the ticker tape machine is shown and its use explained. The use of teletypes is also shown in the placing of a buy order. At 15:53, an annunciator board is used to get the attention of a broker for the order and an order is placed. The film ends with a discussion of the future, showing the AMEX building at 19:00 and describing ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9028d8f3-016f-42bc-924c-49faffb53985/fc955eb1-dd97-4d0a-a1b2-3519cd8b351d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iNu2ZKwUuXTxtpdydQDq4P</video:player_loc><video:duration>1230</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T22:58:46.069Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5kq32AYQioyoo1pyrrbxSp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0cbfff1a-b604-4fb6-9761-4c84bf73f2a2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LOS ANGELES X OLYMPIC GAMES 1932 TRACK &amp; FIELD SILENT NEWSREEL  MD86554b</video:title><video:description>Note: some logos including the Olympic rings shown in this film, are trademarks of the International Olympic Committee. This historic, silent newsreel shows some of the highlights of the X Olympiad in Los Angeles. It begins with the parade of nations in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. At 2:13, the 800 meter run is seen, establishing a new world record of 1:49:08.  At 3:03, the hammer toss is seen, and at 3:32 the 100 meter run (women). In this event Stella Walsh of Cleveland won, running for her native land of Poland — and in this era many of the "international" athletes attending the games were Americans who had strong connections to their homelands.  At 4:13, Dallas' Mildred Didrickson wins the Javelin throw and establishes a new world record. The men's 100 meter dash is seen at 4:38, and the long jump at 5:13, and Discus at 5:41. Hurdles are seen at 6:40, and the hop, step and jump at 7:13.  Didrikson is seen winning the 80 meter hurdles at 8:28. The marathon race is seen at 10:00, won by Juan Zaballa of Argentina. Swim events are seen starting at 11:14, including diving, at a stadium adjacent to the Coliseum. Equestrian events are seen at 16:00, including Major Yasushi Imamura of Japan riding Sonny Boy. The film ends with the extinguishing of the Olympic torch at 17:25. The 1932 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the X Olympiad, was a major worldwide multi-athletic event which was celebrated in 1932 in Los Angeles, California, United States. No other cities made a bid to host these Olympics. Held during the worldwide Great Depression, many nations and athletes were unable to pay for the trip to Los Angeles. Fewer than half the participants of the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam returned to compete in 1932. Even U.S. President Herbert Hoover skipped the event. The organizing committee put no record of the finances of the Games in their report, though contemporary newspapers reported that the Games had made a profit of US$1,000,000.

Kennedy / Lyndon B. Johnson ticket. The commercials deal with various issues including the economy and the cause of peace, which Nixon's campaign summed up with the tagline "They understand what peace demands". The 1960 United States presidential election was the 44th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 8, 1960. In a closely contested election, Democrat United States Senator John F. Kennedy defeated incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon, the Republican Party nominee. This was the first election in which fifty states participated and the last in which the District of Columbia did not. It was also the first election in which an incumbent president was ineligible to run for a third term because of the term limits established by the 22nd Amendment. It is also the last election where the losing candidate won Ohio.Nixon faced little opposition in the Republican race to succeed popular incumbent Dwight D. Eisenhower. Kennedy, a junior U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, established himself as the Democratic front-runner with his strong performance in the 1960 Democratic primaries, including a key victory in West Virginia over United States Senator Hubert Humphrey. He defeated Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson on the first presidential ballot of the 1960 Democratic National Convention, and asked Johnson to serve as his running mate. The issue of the Cold War dominated the election, as tensions were high between the United States and the Soviet Union.Kennedy won a 303 to 219 Electoral College victory and is generally considered to have won the national popular vote by 112,827, a margin of 0.17 percent, though some argue that Nixon should be credited with the popular vote victory, as the issue of the popular vote was complicated by the presence of several unpledged electors in the Deep South.Motion p...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6ddb927a-2182-4bec-b8c9-cd39478d2495/099fba14-9cd2-43c9-9793-1329089bb992-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eyP1oNsYjF3hYxtJag29JZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>324</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T23:07:01.361Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3PsWZrPAqFHL1y6H26oSWK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/80961cb8-2201-4ce9-8d3e-ff787b4a1658.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OPERATIONAL VERSATILITY OF BOEING VERTOL 107 HELICOPTER  CH-46A SEA KNIGHT PAN AM AIRLINES 65144</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

Made in the 1940s, this short film highlights the effort to introduce streamlining into the American railroad industry. It begins with a brief recap of the streamlining concept as applied to buses, aircraft, and even passenger cars before showing the design and manufacture of streamlined locomotives and passenger train cars. The film shows the Silver Streak Zephyr, of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad in the American midwest.  The film chronicles the evolution of American railroads from their origins with the Golden Spike in 1869 to the modern era of streamlined trains. It highlights the rise, decline, and resurgence of rail travel as cars, buses, and airplanes challenged trains in the early 20th century. The introduction of sleek, stainless-steel streamliners revitalized the industry by combining speed, safety, and luxury, transforming long-distance travel into a comfortable and scenic experience. Covering vast landscapes from Chicago to the West Coast and New York to Florida, these trains offered modern amenities and elegant interiors, symbolizing a new era of progress and connecting diverse regions of the country with efficiency and style.

0:00 – The rhythmic movement of trains symbolizes national progress, powered by steam locomotives across the country.

0:58 – A historical overview of U.S. railroads, from the 1869 Golden Spike to rapid national expansion over 50 years.

1:19 – Railroads helped build the automotive industry but faced decline in the 1920s and 1930s due to cars, buses, and planes.

2:01 – The introduction of streamlined trains revived public interest, reversing the decline with innovation and style.

It features well-known actors Janet Blair as Marge (:14), Eddie Bracken as Bertram (:20), Jim Backus as Jess (:46), and Everett Sloane as Mr. Huntley (3:13). The premise is Marge and Bertram have inherited $4,500 (half of Bert’s annual salary), which they separately seek to invest. This allows the principles of investing to be discussed in conversations. Marge secretly visits Mr. Huntley, a broker. He explains that wise investing involves only using extra money, having a savings account, and taking your time to plan a sound investment strategy (4:00-5:36). Behind Marge’s back, Uncle Jess has convinced Bert to invest the money with a promised big profit, based on ‘reliable’ insider information (5:37-6:17). Back at the brokerage, Mr. Huntley explains that the money shouldn’t be placed in a single investment so he asks the company’s research department to provide her multiple reports to study before making a decision (6:17-7:15). His conversation on the phone indicates that some stocks sold outside of a broker are done so illegally and should be reported to the Security and Exchange Commission (7:32-7:59). He explains to Marge the wisdom of using a monthly investment plan to make an initial investment and keep buying stock on a regular basis; as little as $3 a week (8:18-8:48). An institutional order valued at $200,000 is placed as Marge stands there (9:38). Marge researches the information and places her order for stock in two companies with Mr. Huntley. She has four business days to provide the money (15:23-15:47). Mr. Huntley takes her with him to the New York Stock Exchange, where real footage of traders on the floor are shown buying and selling securities. The entire process is explained, emphasizing the rules, such as no handshakes (15:59-19:20), and a tour guide reaffirms that even international stocks are includ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/cf9cbc68-1cca-4474-a6f4-9d877ceb6b6f/b624ca27-5885-4e32-ad5c-0fadffcf5bd7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rCWmeWzBaM317RsdH421Nc</video:player_loc><video:duration>1651</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T23:14:51.324Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7CsFjDixP2FkMgF4gUp9DZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/07ee8682-9d8b-410a-b5cd-e1f33d30ff30.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1965 NASA MANNED SPACE FLIGHT QUARTERLY REPORT  GEMINI MISSIONS SATURN V ROCKET FOR APOLLO 68384</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This black &amp; white film from the late 1930s details the creation of diesel engines. To explain how pistons work, the ancient fire syringe or fire piston is explained. It was invented by Southeast Asia natives who used a bamboo cylinder and plunger with tinder on it. Rapidly compressing the plunger created fire (1:57-2:52). A modern version is constructed with thermometers and a pressure gauge into which oil is sprayed as the fire mechanism (2:58-4:48). Another way of showing the effects of heated air involves stretching rubber over a glass container. When the glass is heated, the rubber sheeting puffs up (4:51-5:10). Combining the two principles into a piston creates a four-stroke or four-cycle (exhaust, intake, compression, power) diesel engine, which operates on a compression ratio of 16 to 1 (5:13-7:19). A closer look at the atomizer or injector oil unit is provided. It consists of a pump, an injection valve, and the injector nozzle (7:28-9:30). Each injector unit is tested up to millionths of an inch for accuracy, with a human hair for comparison (9:31-10:45). The first diesel engines had only one cylinder, growing to two cylinders, three cylinders, four cylinders, six cylinders, eight cylinders, and twelve cylinders (10:48-11:11). Shown is a Winton engine (11:14).  Another advancement was to eliminate the extra two pump strokes, requiring moving the intake manifold down (compression, power) (11:41-12:56). A look at the pump is illustrated, showing how the rotors interact (12:59-13:47). In 1933, GM showcased this new two-cycle diesel engine at the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago (14:05-14:29). It was put to the test when in May of 1934, the Burlington Zephyr train broke speed records (14:39-15:12). In October of that ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f830584e-6ad0-46cc-a53c-95f68f6c71fe/a69533a6-0330-42c2-b3f3-ed4662961538-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wDxUPx6WeuSmWZSuRm96oN</video:player_loc><video:duration>1335</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-05T23:26:48.474Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gAHrBJtuxBZxt4SSDoMX7T</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c60036f2-c569-4159-94e9-0f853b88c354.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL LONG ISLAND RAILROAD ACCIDENT  BASEBALL  WILL HAYES  SS OLYMPIC CHICAGO 62414b</video:title><video:description>This black &amp; white educational film "Yesterday's Newsreel" was released by the Ziv Corporation in the 1950s.

Made as an episode of the "March of Time" TV show in 1953, "Our Stake in Troubled Morocco" was produced and written by Louis de Rochemont and his brother, the film begins with a news anchor-style narrator, Westbrook Van Voorhis, announcing that the editors of Time will bring the audience’s attention to the French protectorate of Morocco and events happening there in relation to the United States Air Force defenses (00:29). At 01:30, the United States Air Force is depicted in Morocco under the terms of a treaty signed by Maurice Challe, a French general during the Algerian War who became the commander of the French Air Force in Algeria from 1955 to 1960, along with general officer in the United States Air Force, Pierpont M. Hamilton. The terms of the treaty included authorization for the United States to build and operate bases in Morocco for the defense of Western Europe after the Korean War and Cold War tensions escalated with NATO fearing events to come. The building and engineering operations are described, while footage of the bases being constructed are shown along with heavy machinery and both native citizens and soldiers taking part in the process (01:45-03:00).

The aircraft operators get used to the runways and we see footage of them in the air (03:06-04:06). The narrator goes on to describe Arab extremists supported by Communists attempting to interfere. Casablanca police are fortified by French and native forces, while Moroccan people are searched by the French regime and riots ensue.  Sultan of Morocco from 1927 to 1953, Mohammed V Yusef, is depicted at 05:25.

Made for the home market in the 1930s, this silent film draws from Pathe Newsreels and is called “News Digest”, with a focus on the year 1938. It had been produced by Pathegrams (:09). The first section of the film is about the Los Angeles flood of 1938 (:19). This disastrous flood was one of the largest in history and occurred due to two major storms blowing in over the Los Angeles Basin. In a matter of a few days it produced about a year’s worth of rainfall. 20,000 had been forced into homelessness due to the flood (:28). Black and white footage follows with a view of outside the California market (:41) as well as a group of citizens peering out from their porch (:46). Toppled trees and poles lay into the street (1:05). Houses as well as cars also lay damaged by fallen trees (1:20). A hurricane had driven a whale into the shoreline in a ship graveyard (1:32). Men stretch themselves out at arm’s length to show the length of the beached whale (1:39). The film switches to a dust storm showing two people walking slowly through the dust cloud while holding onto a fence for guidance (2:09). Moving over to Europe, the Austrian Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg (2:55) was forced to allow Austria to become a German state by the Nazi’s in 1938 although he was strongly opposed to doing so. The next section focuses on the Douglas DC-4 “Sky Giant” which was to be the largest transport plane (3:31). Men move around the inside (3:41) and slowly push the engine into place (3:58). The Douglas DC-4 is a four-engine propeller-driven airliner developed by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Military versions of the plane, the C-54 and R5D, served during World War II, in the Berlin Airlift and into the 1960s.

Dating to 1961, this silent promotional film shows the Bisbee - Douglas International Airport in Southern Arizona. The film includes shots of Douglas, Arizona at 8:20 including the Southern Pacific railroad station at 8:30.  The Gadsden Hotel is visible at 9:30, as well as the Phelps Dodge Mercantile Company and Valley National Bank and Arizona Public Service Company (11:20).  At 12:55 the copper smelter is visible. At 15:16 the border crossing  / Port of Entry with Agua Prieta, Mexico is shown. At 19:20, the American Airlines operation at the airport is shown, with a large passenger aircraft probably a DC-6 visible on the tarmac.

Bisbee Douglas International Airport was originally constructed during World War II as a U.S. Army Air Forces installation known as Douglas Army Airfield. Douglas AAF conducted advanced training in the AT-9 Jeep, AT-17 BobcT, and C-45 Expeditor training aircraft and the B-25 Mitchell bomber. With the end of World War II, Douglas AAF was considered surplus to military needs and was transferred to local government authorities of the City of Douglas for conversion to a civilian airport. American Airlines served the airport before being replaced by Apache Airlines, a commuter air carrier, in 1965. Bisbee/Douglas was part of a transcontinental multi-stop route operated by American in 1959 with Douglas DC-6 propliners with daily flights in each direction between the east coast and the west coast. By 1963, American was still serving the airport with two daily flights operated with the DC-6. Scheduled passenger flights ended in 1975.

The film chronicles the transformation of the Bethlehem Steel Company’s shipyards into a powerhouse of American wartime production during World War II. It highlights the evolution of shipbuilding from ancient traditions to modern engineering and follows the dramatic acceleration of construction, launching, and outfitting processes for warships and cargo vessels. Key milestones include the launching of cruisers, destroyer escorts, Liberty ships, and aircraft carriers like the Lexington and Wasp, often built in record time. The narrative emphasizes the massive national mobilization required—training thousands of unskilled workers, expanding facilities, and coordinating with over 30,000 businesses across the country. As war demands intensified, Bethlehem broke records and achieved the seemingly impossible, contributing over 500 ships within two years. The film concludes with a message of unity, pride, and the enduring strength of American industry in the face of global conflict.

The film starts with a focus group -- a school board composed of older men and ladies -- arguing that there is no reason to upgrade, and then gradually shows how opinions change. When an older woman named Grandma Rockwell is hired to teach the home economics course at the local school, lessons are learned.The film includes at 10:49, the new ice making conveniences are shown. At 11:57, a deep freezer is shown that allows items to be stored for months at a time without damage. At 17:00, a typical 1940s homemaker is seen, with a school girl showing how many days' supplies of food can be stored for weeks or months at a time. A salad is made at 17:25 thanks to the crisper function of the refrigerator. At 21:30, a taste test is made of frozen food versus fresh foods and apparently no one can taste the difference... Discussions at 24:40 about the concept of frostless refrigerators and freezers.Frigidaire is the American consumer and commercial home appliances brand subsidiary of European parent company Electrolux. Frigidaire was founded as the Guardian Frigerator Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and developed the first self-contained refrigerator (invented by Nathaniel B. Wales and Alfred Mellowes) in 1916. In 1918, William C. Durant, a founder of General Motors, personally invested in the company and in 1919, it adopted the name Frigidaire.[citation needed] The brand was so well known in the refrigeration field in the early-to-mid-1900s that many Americans called any refrigerator (of whatever brand) a Frigidaire.

The train traveled between Grand Central Terminal (GCT) in New York City and LaSalle Street Station in Chicago, Illinois, along the railroad's "Water Level Route".The NYC inaugurated this train as direct competition to the Pennsylvania Railroad, aimed at upper class as well as business travelers between the two cities. It made few station stops along the way and used track pans enroute to take water at speed; after 1938 it made the 960-mile journey in 16 hours, departing New York City westbound at 6:00 P.M. Eastern Time and arriving at Chicago's LaSalle St. Station the following morning at 9:00 A.M. Central Time., averaging 60 miles per hour (97 km/h). For a brief period after World War II, the eastward schedule was shortened to 15½ hours.The 20th Century was known for its style, which has been described as "spectacularly understated ... suggesting exclusivity and sophistication" as well as for its speed; passengers walked to and from the train on a plush, crimson carpet which was rolled out in New York and Chicago and was specially designed for the 20th Century Limited. "Getting the red carpet treatment" passed into the language from this memorable practice. "Transportation historians", said the writers of The Art of the Streamliner, "consistently rate the 1938 edition of the Century to be the world's ultimate passenger conveyance—at least on the ground".Regular passengers included Theodore Roosevelt, William Jennings Bryan, Lillian Russell, "Diamond Jim" Brady, J. P. Morgan, Enrico Caruso, and Nellie Melba.In the 1920s the New York-Chicago fare was $32.70 plus the extra fare of $9.60, plus the Pullman charge (e.g. $9 for a lower berth), for a total of $51.30. For that one got a bed closed off from the aisle by curtains...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f7b9eebd-15d4-439a-82b9-5a86102c10fb/b64bf59c-db52-4436-aa9e-3ed377d2c3c0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wAeLwfwFLMrivrhcB2kASX</video:player_loc><video:duration>1080</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T00:36:55.089Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9oHh2ryp1ovLkMqrk5cHSE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/40a096ec-7b5e-4edd-88ec-ab500a586912.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1929 HOME MOVIE   PAN AM AIRLINES TERMINAL  MIAMI, FLORIDA   JUAN TRIPPE (SILENT) 22834</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This silent home movie shows the beginning of a journey conducted by Charles Lindbergh and Juan Trippe, the CEO of Pan American Airlines in September, 1929. Trippe and his associates planned to extend Pan Am's network through all of Central and South America, and purchased a number of ailing or defunct airlines to win most of the government's airmail contracts to the region. Trippe toured Latin America with Lindbergh to negotiate landing rights in a number of countries, including Barranquilla on SCADTA's home turf of Colombia, Maracaibo and Caracas. Supposedly this film shows the farewell ceremony at the start of the trip, but this has not be independently confirmed. Neither Trippe nor Lindy is visible in the film. Pan American Airways Fokker F-10 or Ford 5-AT Tri-Motor aircraft are visible.

At the 1;12 mark, the wreck of the SS Morro Castle is seen on the beach at Asbury Park, New Jersey. SS Morro Castle was an ocean liner of the 1930s that was built for the Ward Line for voyages between New York City and Havana, Cuba. The ship was named for the Morro Castle fortress that guards the entrance to Havana Bay. On the morning of September 8, 1934, en route from Havana to New York, the ship caught fire and burned, killing 137 passengers and crew members. The ship eventually beached herself near Asbury Park, New Jersey, and remained there for several months until she was towed off and scrapped.The devastating fire aboard the SS Morro Castle was a catalyst for improved shipboard fire safety. Today, the use of fire-retardant materials, automatic fire doors, ship-wide fire alarms, and greater attention to fire drills and procedures resulted directly from the Morro Castle disaster.The ship was declared a total loss, and its charred hulk was finally towed away from the Asbury Park shoreline on March 14, 1935. According to one account, it later started settling by the stern and sank while being towed up the river.In the intervening months, because of its proximity to the boardwalk and the Asbury Park Convention Hall pier, from which it was possible to wade out and touch the wreck with one's hands, the wreck was treated as a destination for sightseeing trips, complete with stamped penny souvenirs and postcards for sale.(Other accounts have it that the ship was towed to Gravesend Bay on March 14, 1935, after serving as an Asbury Park attraction, and then to Baltimore on the 29th, where it was scrapped.)Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

This Technicolor film, produced by the U.S. Steel Corporation, opens with a panoramic view of steel mills (:28). They rely on iron ore (:48), high-grade coke baked from bituminous coal and limestone (:49). The first step in producing steel is to make iron in the blast furnace (1:38), where raw materials are loaded into skip cars (1:48-2:00). Inside the furnace, chemical reactions occur (2:31).  An animation is shown (2:42-3:32) of the lime combining with impurities in the ore and coke to form slag. Periodically, this waste material is removed (3:30). The separated molten white hot iron is released into an insulted transfer car (3:46-4:12), where it is taken to a steel-making furnaces (4:18). The transfer car pours the liquid metal (4:24-4:35) into a ladle, which is taken to the open hearth furnace (4:37). To begin this process, a charging machine loads limestone, iron ore, and steel scrap into the furnace (4:45) first, followed by a pour from the ladle (5:06). In the control room, a wall of gauges is consulted to make sure the process is on track (5:17). Slag separates from the steel (5:50). The temperature is taken (6:43). At the rear of the furnace is a tapping hole used (7:15) to blow out the plug. The wire from the charge is connected to a battery (7:28) and detonated (7:45), releasing the white-hot steel (7:50). Adding chromium or nickel alloys (8:11) alters carbon steel. A basic oxygen furnace (8:40) produces high-quality steel faster. The molten steel is poured in (8:47), followed by scrap (9:05). The chemical and physical reactions quickly take place (9:18) and the furnace is ready to pour (9:29).An electric arc furnace (9:41) is used to make stainless steel.  It’s charged with scrap (9:49) as the top is removed and then replaced by machinery (10:02). When the electricity is turned on, the cables sway (10:13)....</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e375cfad-b86f-45ca-bac9-4783c1173d30/729d72fb-e6c5-4c85-97d2-4ea36bee4d37-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/u66d6JFJ5eRT8u4JfKWcTW</video:player_loc><video:duration>1182</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T00:55:56.001Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8njLW8xyRnuLaRgfeJ4srQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a66482ba-633a-4c17-b2a6-dee098d7ffcb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SKYSCRAPER  1959 DOCUMENTARY  CONSTRUCTION OF 666 5th AVENUE BUILDING NEW YORK CITY MD40780</video:title><video:description>The story of a changing city and of the birth and construction of a modern skyscraper.

Written by Henry Salomon in the mid-1950s and airing on NBC, this award-winning black and white documentary film production begins with a dramatic shot of an explosion at 0:15 after a brief close-up of a clock presenting the time of just after 8 o'clock. The narrator explains that on Sunday, July 15, 1945, the end of an era is about to take place despite a deceptively warm and sunny day, along with the impending United States Navy attack on Japan. At 1:05, the film briefly cuts to the USS Augusta, the United States Navy cruiser known for its use in many key Navy operations, as well as for transporting both presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman under wartime conditions. As the narrator counts down to "zero", Mrs. Roosevelt, the former First Lady, is mentioned for her support of the UNO, along with President Truman who is newly in office. Seen aboard the USS Augusta at 02:30, Truman is said to be on his way to his first Big Three Conference in Potsdam to discuss the topics of the occupation of defeated Germany, liberated Poland, and the war against Japan, among other subjects. Rubble and fallen buildings appear when the narrator points out that the Nazi regime, the Third Reich, has fallen despite its promise to last (03:15-03:25). Less than five hours into the countdown, the narrator brings the viewer to a well-lit London, with a shot of the busy downtown city bustling once again after much silence and dismay for at least six years during the war (03:45-03:59). At 05:05 the tower holding the infamous bomb is reflected on screen, followed by its inevitable test explosion starting from 05:42. The film recalls the era's world leaders meeting and their involvement with the ultimatum from Potsdam to Tokyo ahead of World War II (05:50-06:05).

As part two of Henry Salomon and Richard Hanser's black and white documentary production, this film reel begins with an explanation of various nations' attempts to monitor and control atomic activities. The half hour show originally aired for NBC-TV as part of a series of shows under the name "Project 20". The NBC network aired it for a second time in 1955, along with eight other historical documentary pieces produced by Salomon.

    0:00   The film begins by setting the scene with political tension between the United States and the Soviet Union, referencing the "Russian veto" and the "Gromyko walk out" from the United Nations. It introduces the idea of a "war of ideas" and an international proposal by Bernard Baruch to control all atomic activities.
    1:01   The narrator asserts that the U.S. will respond to communist obstructionism and aid oppressed peoples with material goods.
    2:28   The film transitions to the U.S. providing weapons and military aid, stating, "we give guns to them, we give our lives."
    2:47   The focus shifts to the U.S. becoming a "security state." The narrator explains that security became a "major industry" with one out of every four employees and one dollar out of every twenty spent by the Atomic Energy Commission dedicated to security.
    3:53   The film lists various levels of secrecy, from "restricted" to "cosmic secret," and suggests that the very act of having a secret partially reveals its existence.
    4:16   The film discusses the Soviet Union's scientific progress. It mentions that Russia's scientific community is well-trained, with a high number of graduates in science and technology comparable to the U.S. It also notes that Russian scientists independently discovered uranium fission in 1939. The film quotes Albert Einstein, who states that what nature tells...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bbe9efe0-7b15-4c81-b3d5-6f29a2c89490/9015050b-5292-49c4-beb4-be14f3f0d0b6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pcRAJugMSdrt6VXkYiRMy5</video:player_loc><video:duration>1433</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T01:14:40.001Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gBE6zt1SxiRVwPLqGZAUeS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ad5cb83b-dc9b-48d0-bd33-5348791dd5a9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE MAGIC SHELF "  1950s CAMPBELL SOUPS PROMO FILM w/ ANNE MARSHALL (B&amp;W Version) 47214</video:title><video:description>This is a 1950’s era, color movie about Campbell’s Soup.

This film "Bicycling for Complete Safety" (1939) emphasizes the critical importance of safety for children, particularly in urban areas where they play, go to school, and use public roads. It highlights the role of police officers as allies in promoting safety and encourages children to view them as friends. A major focus is placed on bicycle safety—while riding is healthy and beneficial, it can also be dangerous if rules aren’t followed. Through examples of careless and responsible behavior, the video teaches children proper biking practices: keeping hands on handlebars, obeying traffic signals, using lights and horns, and maintaining their bicycles. The message encourages kids to be alert, follow traffic laws, and cooperate with authorities to ensure they return home safely every day and grow into responsible adults.

The body of the Bobby lays under a car. The boy is in the hospital laying on a stretcher, injured. Bobby rides a bike the correct way this time, both hands on the wheel.  He slams on his brakes when a car door opens. 

1:05 – Police officers are framed as allies and protectors of children; children are urged to listen to safety guidance.

1:54 – Bicycle safety is introduced as a major concern due to the risks involved despite its health and practical benefits.

2:23 – A cautionary tale: a boy riding without hands and eati...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a5f2c5ca-0d63-4e8b-b001-debcacba8f68/d3100e36-7b15-41b2-a9ac-093decf31d83-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mux7wYeg4VNP1fwZrrddSm</video:player_loc><video:duration>550</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T01:54:07.440Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dFEv9aibfVxkckQ6cuTi8R</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a60c489c-091d-42de-9f5b-67792726354b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" PROCUREMENT AND THE CHINESE PUZZLE "  1960s U.S. ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION SECURITY FILM  68774</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Made in 1950, the movie traces the evolution of locomotive power from steam through electric and diesel-electric to the latest super-powered gas-turbine electric. Emphasis is given to the ways in which these developments have kept pace with the ever-growing demands of a nation that today virtually "lives out of box cars." The picture also offers a glimpse of the operational mechanics of the country's complex railway networks—accenting the many applications of electricity. The striking color and the non-technical, human-interest approach combine to give this picture high general-audience appeal.Topics include: Dynamic braking. Electrical signaling. Electricity for cargo handling. Centralized traffic control. Electric snow melters for switches. Passenger train lighting and galley electrical equipment.

The contributions and role of the aircraft industry are described, along with the number of Japanese warships that had been sunk by United States aircraft (01:30-02:01). Navy bombers were used to support the men of the 37th infantry division using precision bombing techniques. At 03:28, a map with directional arrows toward the Chinese coast is shown. The narrator then describes how fleet admiral Chester William Nimitz, Sr. of the United States Navy played a key role in World War II, commanding Allied air and sea forces. Navy gunners are depicted fighting Japanese forces (04:00-04:19). Corsairs and Hellcats fought together to take down over eight hundred Japanese warplanes with minimal losses. Goodyear, Lions Metal, Chrysler and Briggs are named among the industrial manufacturers of these cutting-edge navy fighter planes. Commander Tommy Blackburn, commander of the famous Skull and Crossbones squadron in the Pacific, describes how the speed of these aircrafts paid off for his men at 05:33. Japanese aircraft technology is examined and studied, including the Kasei-15 engines from bombers captured in the Marshall Islands (06:22-07:10). The attack on Saipan fortress is shown with footage of the aftermath and victory for the U.S. (07:20-08:20).

The film “NASA 1971 Aeronautics and Space Highlights” will take a brief look at the year of 1971 and its space and aeronautics achievements. It begins with footage of the moon’s surface (:10) and the Mariner mission to orbit Mars (:32). Mars’ surface is shown (:36) with Earth and the moon in the background. Three Mariner space crafts had flown about 2,000 miles from Mars’ surface (:38). On November 13th, the Mariner 9 was to come within 850 miles (:48). A cartoon depicts the planned orbit (1:05) and it will circle the planet twice daily while photographing and gathering data for three months (1:05). This mission would map 70% of the planet’s surface (1:11). One of Mars’ moons is seen (1:15). Mars seemed to have been going through or had already gone through some sort of evolution (1:23). The idea was to determine whether it was a decaying or evolving planet (1:27). At the Jet Propulsion Lab on the ground (1:39), information was collected and studied from this mission. The next section looks at Earth-Sun Satellites (1:56) which were created to get a better understanding of the sun. NASA sent out three unmanned scientific explorers (2:15). The first, the Inter-planetary Monitoring Platform (IMP), is seen taking off (2:21) to explore interplanetary space and the magnetosphere. SOLRAD was a satellite sent out to study the sun’s radiation and record disturbances (2:50). A computer type picture returned by OSO 7 shows the sun’s disk and inner corona (2:55). A diagram appears depicting the magnetosphere (3:17) in which small scientific satellites can operate (3:26). Nearly 300 sounding rockets had been launched from Wallops Island, Virginia in 1971 (3:48) and one is seen taking to the sky (3:56). These probes explored Earth’s atmosphere below where satellites orbited. Scientists from all over the globe travelled...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/046e6067-ed3a-4a75-82d3-0da3a91e8f0f/fe64ac60-4274-4c1b-9047-5707b67aa460-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1xJH4zzUA43JhXEsizSqEk</video:player_loc><video:duration>892</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T02:00:40.248Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8uSdZBMprdcianqypADtt5</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e35ec5a7-2147-4ec0-8d1d-6f765b25696c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE INDUSTRIAL CITY" 1970 EDUCATIONAL FILM  DETROIT MICHIGAN  MILWAUKEE  PITTSBURGH  GARY  XD13424</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

The film provides a fascinating look at how this massive embankment dam was created. The film was likely made by McDowell Wellman, who designed the state of the art excavator shown in the film. Oroville Dam is an earthfill embankment dam on the Feather River east of the city of Oroville, California, in the Sierra Nevada foothills east of the Sacramento Valley. At 770 feet (235 m) high, it is the tallest earthfill dam in the U.S. and serves mainly for water supply, hydroelectricity generation and flood control. The dam impounds Lake Oroville, the second largest man-made lake in the state of California, capable of storing more than 3.5 million acre-feet (4.4 km3).Built by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), Oroville Dam is one of the key features of the California State Water Project (SWP), one of two major projects passed that set up California's statewide water system. Construction was initiated in 1961, and despite numerous difficulties encountered during its construction, including multiple floods and a major train wreck on the rail line used to transport materials to the dam site, the embankment was topped out in 1967 and the entire project was ready for use in 1968. The dam began to generate electricity shortly afterwards with completion of the Edward Hyatt Pump-Generating Plant, then the country's largest underground power station.Since its completion in 1968, the Oroville Dam has allocated the flow of the Feather River from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta into the State Water Project's California Aqueduct, which provides a major supply of water for irrigation in the San Joaquin Valley as well as municipal and industrial water supplies to coastal Southern California, and has prevented large amounts of flood damage to the area  — more than $1.3 billion between the years of 1987 and 1999.[10] The dam has confined fish migration up the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fe8c9f9b-3634-4563-aeeb-6a47a32ccc48/b4692269-a321-4313-9752-87a4e0ad606f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xr747N9fWFhQxj3crpGiUd</video:player_loc><video:duration>1445</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T02:08:59.206Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mxxQcX9FVQ8dBTffME1fsR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6b3631c8-1960-4648-aa93-1778443e6ffd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CHINA AND THE CHINESE  1928 HISTORIC SILENT FILM  ISAAC UPHAM  HONG KONG  PEKING  SHANGHAI 34584</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This unique film was shot by American filmmaker Isaac Upham, assisted by Chinese filmmaker Moon Kwan. Upham visited China and lived there from 1922 to 1927, during which time he attempted to  make a long feature travelogue entitled "Pieces of China". Apparently Upham did many private screenings in Hollywood but could not get distribution for the film.  The original, full-length version is now considered lost.  This short, which was released by the Kodak Film Library, is quite extraordinary in that it shows many rare vistas of China, and at a particularly important moment in time. Here are precious images of Peking, Mukden, Tientsin, Nankow, and Shanghai, all in glorious black and white.

Studio Misr's first film was Wedad (1936), the first film to star the singer Umm Kulthum. In 1939 Studio Misr made four films, including Determination, out of a total of fifteen Egyptian films. Facing difficulty raising capital in the 1940s, Studio MISR reduced its emphasis on direct film production, increasingly renting out its development, printing and editing facilities to other Arab filmmakers. In 1946, for example, S...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/07aeae85-e903-4b20-af7c-9142004f7566/211f6d59-9058-4f10-acf6-7a673149b089-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1X2fT4ne3fCKGfsS4o7t9s</video:player_loc><video:duration>327</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T02:17:09.828Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/39ajX2Q3VXmdnNgPf1oinE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1a7da17e-2996-4092-926b-9e8846b28611.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY SURFACE WARFARE  CNO SITREP 12 "THE CALL OF BLUE WATER"  46714</video:title><video:description>" The Call of Blue Water CNO SITREP 12 " (meaning -- Chief of Naval Operations report on the current military situation), produced in 1977, explores the U.S. Navy’s surface forces, looking at both the vessels themselves and the lives of the crew.A 1700s sailing ship is at sea.

This agriculture educational film was produced by Charles Cahill &amp; Associates in the 1960s. At the beginning of the reel, a young boy appears on screen looking on as milk cows graze in stocks on a farm. At 00:55 a narrator describes the diet and traits of dairy cows, mentioning that they feed on hay and silage, a very nutritious and easy to digest green commonly used for the livestock. Close-ups of cows eating and footage of them being herded by farmers continues. Music is mentioned as a tool used to calm the dairy cows and they are given showers each day before being milked (01:37-02:30). From 02:40 the film focuses on the milking process, depicting the machinery used as well as each step of the process from hand squeezing to the stainless steel pipes that carry the milk to the storage tank. The processing plant used for the milk is called a creamery and is shown at 04:04 after the viewer watches a truck transport the dairy to the facility. Refrigerated storage units hold the milk and keep it cool before it is sent to the pasteurizer to kill any germs at 04:38. Inspection of the milk product occurs before the milk is prepared for distribution. Close footage of the bottling process is shown around five minutes into the short film. All aspects of the creamery facility are shown, including the factory assembly line that cleans the returned milk bottles from consumers (05:02-07:21). The rest of the cycle of dairy from farm to door, or factory to consumer, is shown along with milk men delivering the product to stores and homes. The process comes to a conclusion in this educational film with a view of a young boy drinking milk at a table at 10:15.

Produced by Humble Oil &amp; Refining Company in the early 1960s, it includes sequences on the granting and the naming of the state, on the colonial period, on early industry and transportation, and on Thomas Edison and the age of invention. The program describes the industries, educational system, cities, recreational areas, landmarks, historic sites and other features of 20th century New Jersey. It opens in 17th century England and a re-enactment at mark 01:18 of how King Charles II, who gave his brother, the Duke of York (later King James II), the region between New England and Maryland as a proprietary colony. James then granted the land between the Hudson River and the Delaware River (the land that would become New Jersey) to two friends who had remained loyal through the English Civil War: Sir George Carteret and Lord Berkeley of Stratton. Scenes of New Jersey’s natural wonders are interspersed with illustrations and re-enactments of the region’s pre-Colonial days — including the Steuben House (a noted example of Bergen Dutch sandstone architecture) in River Edge, shown at mark 04:40, and a cedar plank log cabin at Hancock’s Bridge, shown at mark 04:57. Eastern New Jersey eventually became the new home for settlers from New England, with much of that influence still apparent in New Jersey architecture and Colonial churches, as viewed at mark 06:27. Western New Jersey, settled by the Quakers, still shows their influence, such as homes with patterns of glazed brick. Mark 09:09 takes the viewers into Colonial times and shows the Teaburners' Monument in Greenwich Township, commemorating the 1774 Greenwich Tea Party. We learn some of the five major battles of the Revolutionary War fought in New Jersey, and how George Washington (famously) crossed the Delaware River and participated in t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8e982ab3-372d-4b11-bf60-c452d63027eb/8fff275c-9d2d-471d-81b1-5ebe295370bf-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iBgSdrQQsiTa4Ju9YZJ3gv</video:player_loc><video:duration>1716</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T02:29:30.446Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/a6AG86cVcx7VRgYrdjGNgF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2d5bbc46-f1aa-4e27-88ce-04679027a18c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1956 BRITISH STEEL INDUSTRY  FILM  "STEEL ROAD"  HENRY BESSEMER   MINES &amp; MINING  99084</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Dating to the 1980s, this recruitment film "The Air Guard Experience" shows the activities of pilots flying the A-7 Corsair II. The pilots appear to be from the Colorado Air National Guard, probably the 120th Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 140th Tactical Fighter Group aka "Red Eye" (see patch at 4:28). One of the interesting segments of the film is a look at an early computerized flight simulator (4:58) used by pilots to keep sharp. At 9:57 in-flight refueling of the A-7 is shown. At 10:58, an A-7 drops a bomb in a practice run. 

The LTV A-7 Corsair II is a carrier-capable subsonic light attack aircraft designed and manufactured by American conglomerate Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV).  With the pullout of the USAF from its Thailand bases in late 1975, the A-7Ds stationed at Korat initially went to Clark AB, Philippines. The 3d TFS transitioned from its Corsairs to the F-4E Phantom II and remained at Clark. The A-7Ds were returned to the United States where they were reassigned to several Air National Guard squadrons beginning in 1974. The Corsairs had been, in a sense, a forced acquisition by the USAF in the late 1960s, and the inter-service rivalry of flying a Navy aircraft had led, beginning about 1970, to the development of its own Close Air Support aircraft. In 1974, selection of the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II was made as the replacement for the A-7D. The first A-10As were received by the 354th TFW in 1977 at Myrtle Beach AFB; the 355th TFW at Davis-Monthan AFB began replacing its A-7Ds in 1978, and the 23d TFW at England AFB in 1979. As the A-10s were received, the A-7Ds were transferred from the USAF to the National Guard Bureau for subsequent re-allocation. By 1981, when the 23d TFW sent its last A-7Ds to Tonopah Test Range Airport, Nevada for clandestine use in the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk development pr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8907a12f-2214-45db-a2de-8b5b72e3ba5f/13a2b727-b7d1-40d7-aaca-46f19144234c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hVqjTHfRBAsb7nbuq9x8er</video:player_loc><video:duration>840</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T02:33:23.773Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mK6HypyPedoCATQoY6UZDr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/11f421a5-8f4e-4932-85a9-2311d42edc2b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" KNOW YOUR ALLY: BRITAIN "  1944 WWII PROPAGANDA FILM   DUNKIRK  BLITZ  19574</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Produced for Chevrolet by the Jam Handy Organization, this film "American Maker" features the notable voice over actor Marvin Miller. Similar to the structure of other Jam Handy films, this snap shot of midcentury America wanders through various portions of industry before leaning into car production. It includes dramatic reenactments of Eli Whitney’s innovations in mass production. It is a heavily patriotic film that focuses on American consumerism as viewed through the Chevrolet lens. It opens up with a young boy building sand castles along the shore line (1:11). This is used as an example of the mind's early desire to build and construct.  A sailboat is erected in a clear glass bottle (1:26). A crane carts a large wooden box in a shipping yard (2:10). A space shuttle shoots up (2:20). Kids build their own NASA rockets in the yard (2:32). A housewife tidies her kitchen (3:08). She pinches a pie crust together (3:37). The narrator explains the American consumer mindset (4:18). A seamstress hens a dress (4:34). A craftsman paints a tea kettle (4:52). Female workers on an assembly line build rotary telephones (5:03). Dolls float down an assembly line (5:55). Brass horns are snapped together (6:47). Two car manufacturers look at scale models of new vehicle ideas (8:13). A beach bathing couple watch a battery powered transistorized television (8:34). Early American industry is looked to (9:18). A woman operates the spinning wheel and loom (9:24). Eli Whitney's innovations in mass production began with a contract from congress to produce 10,000 muskets (10:52). He promoted the idea of interchangeability (13:22); a basic principal of ma...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ff5c5bb2-44bc-4acf-bc5f-04174ebbba39/49af249e-70ff-460e-bf8e-4b43db3f3636-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xwV8VHGhMpWKLq4K7ky7jv</video:player_loc><video:duration>1515</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T02:39:04.088Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uQfXBoZ8JfTDSDwGyVpZRS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d37b46b9-6884-4250-b719-e1f9d34e3f64.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"JOURNEY OF FAITH" 1950 HOLY YEAR PILGRIMAGE OF CARDINAL SPELLMAN TO ITALY, SPAIN &amp; MALTA  66664</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This film will take a look at NASA’s Gemini XI which was the ninth manned spaceflight mission of the Gemini program. It opens with the NASA seal (:10) and the target vehicle Agena for the Gemini XI mission (:23). Gemini XI is seen awaiting launch on pad 19 (:57). Members of the crew, Commanding Pilot Charles Conrad and Pilot Richard Gordon, execute maneuvers for the planned rendezvous (1:02) which is to be called an M=1 rendezvous (1:12). The launch window was only two seconds (1:18) and the engines erupt as it takes off in that window (1:44) and it lands in the planned orbit (2:11). The Agena target vehicle began its second revolution (2:15) as the Gemini XI began to catch up (2:20). The radar screen shows where the two are located from one another (2:32) and Commander Conrad notes he has the Agena in view. He executes the terminal phase maneuver over Australia (2:42) and the breaking maneuver over Hawaii (2:50). Conrad comes over the radio at (2:56) and performs the rendezvous (3:21) leaving the Gemini XI ready for docking (3:29). Footage follows from onboard of the actual docking (3:46). All four scheduled dockings are completed (4:19).

He is to remove the tether from the Agena for an exercise that was to take place the following day (6:56). Unfortunately, he is called in due to loss of vision in his right eye (7:12). This removed the exercise of using a power tool in space for the first time from the flight plan (7:23). As they neared the 26th revolution, Conrad is giving the clear to burn the primary propulsion system of the Agena (7:57).

Created by producer Paul Hoefler and photographed by Willard C. Hahn, this early 1960s educational film "Operation Freighter" provides a look at the SS Hawaiian Farmer. At the time the "Farmer" was working the sea lane between San Francisco and Hawaii as part of the Matson Navigation Company aka the Matson Line (and now more well known as Matson Inc.). The ship was both a cargo and passenger vessel, one of at least four operated by the company (the others being the SS Hawaiian Refiner, SS Hawaiian Citizen and SS Hawaiian Rancher). 

The film shows the ship and describes its layout and the purpose of its various decks and facilities. The roles of the ships crew are described and the movement of cargo on and off the ship.

Some notable content -- At 3:55, purebred cattle bound for the famed Parker Ranch on the island of Hawaii are shown. At 5:09 a sextant is used to measure the ship's position. At 17:50 circus lions from a circus that toured Hawaii, are shown loaded on the ship for a return to the mainland. 

Hawaiian Farmer was a 7914 ton C-3 freighter, built San Francisco 1944 as the Sea Sturgeon. Matson bought it in 1947 and sold it in 1971 to shipbreakers.

Matson, Inc. is a U.S. owned and operated transportation services company founded in 1882. Matson, Inc.'s subsidiary Matson Navigation Company provides ocean shipping services across the Pacific to Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, Micronesia, the South Pacific, China and Japan. Matson founded the historic Moana Hotel (now part of the Moana Surfrider Hotel complex) and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki on the island of Oahu.

This sound version of the 1916 silent film short "A Natural Born Gambler" features commentary about the film and its African American star Bert Williams. Bert Williams (November 12, 1874 – March 4, 1922) was a Bahamian-American entertainer, one of the pre-eminent entertainers of the Vaudeville era and one of the most popular comedians for all audiences of his time.He was by far the best-selling black recording artist before 1920. In 1918, the New York Dramatic Mirror called Williams "one of the great comedians of the world."

Somewhat shockingly for a modern audience, Williams used blackface in the film, as a way to bring in and entertain the mainstream white audience, allowing the film to gain success. Blackface allowed even blacks to be hyper-racialized and be seen as more entertaining to whites, which was one of the few ways many black actors such as Williams were able to gain success. Bert Williams uses heavy facial expression as well as pantomime, which were very iconic of his acting style, and were a part of his identity as an entertainer. This gives the film another form of Williams' own authenticity.

This was the first of only two films that starred the Broadway comic and singer. The film was Williams' first two-reel comedy, and was a film that was expected not to disappoint audiences and was highly anticipated. It was produced by the Biograph Company and released by The General Film Company. Williams directed and G. W. Bitzer, also known as Billy Bitzer, who was usually D. W. Griffith's cameraman, was the cinematographer. This is a still-surviving film, featuring Williams in his famous blackface routine. It is an authentic comedic film for its time (1916) in which Williams is still humorous without heavily relying on the popular physical style of slapstick comedy.

‘March of Time’ was an early American television show which aired in the early 1950s. These were based off the radio and newsreel series with the same name that aired from 1931 to 1951. The narrator of these series was Westbrook Van Voorhis and it was produced by brothers Louis and Richard de Rochement. This particular segment will focus on the two French cities of Paris and Beaulieu. For a brief moment and upside-down slide signifying a commercial appears (:59) and the film returns to a view from the train as tourists head into France (1:13). Passengers aboard are having their baggage and passports inspected by a customs official (1:21). The train pulls into the Gare Saint Lazar (1:29) which is one of six large terminus railway stations in Paris. Pedestrians enjoy café entertainment and food along the streets of Paris (1:49). The famed Arc de Triomphe sits in the midst of traveling cars (2:20) and tourists commonly take to guided tours about the city (2:41). The next stop is the Louvre (2:50) which is the world’s largest art museum established in 1793.  Flea markets (3:09) are another popular past-time. The outside as well as dining within the Eiffel Tower (3:32) are shown. Pigalle is the next neighborhood visited (3:49) and it is an area full of neon lights, exotic dancing women and some of the most famed cabarets including Moulin Rouge. Dancing women take to the floor in one of France’s oldest dances, the tourdion (4:61). The narrator returns to a mock travel agency in which he discusses with a man from France just where the heart of the country lies, and from here we are directed to the Dordogne Valley (5:10). Most tourists miss this area as it is 320 miles away from Paris and doesn’t lie on a main road. The Dordogne River (5:37) cuts through the village of Beaulieu.

“From Trash to Treasure” is produced by International Harvester Company in the 1960s. It’s a promotional film highlighting the International drop bull clam shovel tractor (TD-9, TD-14, TD-18) and the International drop four-in-one skid shovel tractor. The International Harvester complies with the sanitary landfill method of disposal as outlined by the United States Public Health Service. This method focuses on both distribution and compaction of water. The landfills can then be converted to new living areas, parks, airports, and school sites.The film opens with tractors dumping trash in a landfill (0:07), juxtaposed with vacationers enjoying a warm day at the pool (0:18). Scenes of an unsanitary landfill follow, with burning trash and decaying animals (0:54), again juxtaposed with green lawns and housing complexes. A sign reads “A Future City Park” in Evanston, Illinois, indicating that the site is being developed for recreational purposes (1:30). The film focuses on various International Harvester tractors at work. A tractor-drawn scraper scrapes the land, a crawler tractor compacts a pile of refuse (1:51). Bulldozers distribute and compact refuse. A front end loader distributes refuse, and a tractor carries the bucket filled with refuse overhead and dumps it in to a collection truck (3:19). Viewers see workers operating machinery in a shop (3:53), followed by a group of men in suits standing around a tractor. A worker demonstrates its functions (4:27).The film cuts to a close up of the bucket on the International drop bull clam shovel tractor (4:56), which is built for larger full time work. It is used for digging, pushing, and carrying. Then the film cuts back to the International drop four-in-one skid shovel tractor (5:07), which is built for smaller community use on sanitary landfill operations...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6884ec50-00b8-496f-9df4-5586e452a8e9/9c9e5090-22b0-4af1-b360-8b2fabe8056f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dUzpaHqMsCH8nP5x5dsB56</video:player_loc><video:duration>1061</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T03:04:59.492Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/d8ar1cmXLN9DQuHG5QBtKm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/15dbccd5-ee99-4c66-b8fa-c384d5316426.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s TRANSPORTATION BY TRUCK &amp; TRAIN   SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD  13324</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This is a 1970s promo film for the Mexican coffee and cane sugar spirit commonly known as Kahlua. It is a coffee-flavored liqueur. (The drink contains rum, sugar, vanilla bean, and arabica coffee.) The film opens with an image of coffee beans plucked from a coffee arabica evergreen tree in North Africa (:19). Kahlua’s beginnings are traced back to the origin of coffee and the beverage was believed to have initially come from Ethiopia and was used medicinally. Ancient art depicts coffee’s early beginnings in an Arabian court (:48) shows Priests of Islam and they were the ones to dictate coffee consumption. From here, the stimulating drink spread to Egypt, Turkey and Europe (1:10). During the mid-17th century, after spreading through Europe, coffee landed in the New World; the America’s (1:15) Distillation was also introduced to the area (1:43) which lead to the creation of this coffee liquor which from 1936 on was created and distributed out of Mexico. Sculptures and figurines of pre-colonial figures appear (2:22) and the Kahlua logo (2:27). The film then switches to a mock house party in which the guests and hosts will share recipes that utilize Kahlua. The narrator of the film shows the multitude of ways Kahlua can be enjoyed as a beverage such as; straight, over ice, blended with cream, with soda and with vodka (3:42). Most popular mix drinks are the White and Black Russians. Dishes such as fruited chicken Acapulco (5:33) are enhanced when added with Kahlua. Another party guest shares a recipe for herbed pork chops to which the liquor is also added (8:14). The process for chili Kahlua (10:18) includes ingredients such as bell peppers, ground beef, tomatoes and chili powder. The mixture simmers when Kahlua is added (11:24).

The Northrop P-61 Black Widow, named for the American spider, was the first operational U.S. military aircraft designed specifically for night interception of aircraft, and was the first aircraft specifically designed to use radar. It was an all-metal, twin-engine, twin-boom design developed during World War II. The first test flight was made on May 26 1942, with the first production aircraft rolling off the assembly line in October 1944. The last aircraft was retired from government service in 1954. Although not produced in the large numbers of its contemporaries, the Black Widow was effectively operated as a night-fighter by United States Army Air Forces squadrons in the European Theater, the Pacific Theater, the China Burma India Theater and the Mediterranean Theater during World War II.

This silent footage from the development era shows tests of the RS-25 engine, used aboard the Space Shuttle, with a particular focus on failures. Some of the causes identified include a weld crack (:21), housing burn-through (2:30), coolant liner failure (4:30), duct failure (7:00), fuel injector blockage (9:57), and more. 

The Aerojet Rocketdyne RS-25, also known as the Space Shuttle main engine (SSME), is a liquid-fuel cryogenic rocket engine that was used on NASA's Space Shuttle. NASA is planning to continue using the RS-25 on the Space Shuttle's successor, the Space Launch System (SLS).

The history of the RS-25 traces back to the 1960s when NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and Rocketdyne were conducting a series of studies on high-pressure engines, developed from the successful J-2 engine used on the S-II and S-IVB upper stages of the Saturn V rocket during the Apollo program. The studies were conducted under a program to upgrade the Saturn V engines, which produced a design for a 350,000 lbf (1,600 kN) upper-stage engine known as the HG-3. As funding levels for Apollo wound down the HG-3 was cancelled as well as the upgraded F-1 engines already being tested. It was the design for the HG-3 that would form the basis for the RS-25.

Designed and manufactured in the United States by Rocketdyne (later known as Pratt &amp; Whitney Rocketdyne and Aerojet Rocketdyne), the RS-25 burns cryogenic liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants, with each engine producing 1,859 kN (418,000 lbf) of thrust at liftoff. Although the RS-25 can trace its heritage back to the 1960s, concerted development of the engine began in the 1970s, with the first flight, STS-1, occurring on April 12, 1981. The RS-25 has undergone several upgrades over its operational history to improve the engine's reliability, safety, and maintenance load.

Released by Transvideo Corporation of America, "Harlem After Midnight" was produced by Alexander, a distributor of African American films in the 1940s. The film features Billy Eckstine and his band with vocals by Eckstine and Ann Baker, and dancing by Nicky O'Daniel and Al Guster. The film was made in 1940 and photographed by Don Malkames.  

William Clarence Eckstine (July 8, 1914 – March 8, 1993) was an American jazz and pop singer and a bandleader during the swing era. He was noted for his rich, almost operatic bass-baritone voice. His recording of "I Apologize" (MGM, 1948) was given the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999. The New York Times described him as an "influential band leader" whose "suave bass-baritone" and "full-throated, sugary approach to popular songs inspired singers like Joe Williams, Arthur Prysock and Lou Rawls." 

Eckstine first came on the scene when he joined Earl Hines' Grand Terrace Orchestra in 1939. He stayed with the band as vocalist and trumpeter until 1943. By that time, Eckstine had begun to make a name for himself through the Hines band's juke-box hits such as "Stormy Monday Blues", and his own "Jelly Jelly."

In 1944, Eckstine formed his own big band and it became the finishing school for adventurous young musicians who would shape the future of jazz. Included in this group were Dizzy Gillespie, Dexter Gordon, Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Charlie Parker, and Fats Navarro, as well as vocalist Sarah Vaughan. Tadd Dameron, Gil Fuller and Jerry Valentine were among the band's arrangers. The Billy Eckstine Orchestra is considered to be the first bop big-band, and had Top Ten chart entries that included "A Cottage for Sale" and "Prisoner of Love". Both were awarded a gold disc by the RIAA.

Ann Baker (August 21, 1915 – August 29, 1999) was an American jazz singer. Baker was discovered by Louie Ar...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2e91b6b0-abae-4c48-a8fa-eff1a6dbbc42/80bd3a03-0b1a-4b37-b718-e1737cb7b2bf-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6KwTLBjyyfQn7oN8zkHzh7</video:player_loc><video:duration>523</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T03:42:56.960Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/riNjH9x1n3yKGQPhKEiouR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/68479dd9-3bda-4747-8984-70299a575f16.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" SPACE NUCLEAR POWER "  ATOMICS INTERNATIONAL FILM  NASA  SYSTEMS FOR NUCLEAR AUX.

This silent educational film shows poultry and truck farming circa 1930. At :28 a large scale farm with chicken houses is shown. At :46 a modern incubator is showcased. At 1:18 eggs are shown being hatched. At 1:37 a brooder is shown. At 2:14 White Leghorn hens are shown. At 2:55 eggs are gathered and candled at 3:04.  At 3;22 ducks are shown on a farm as well as turkeys. At 3:46 truck farming of vegetables is shown at a so-called "truck garden" -- a farm where vegetables are grown for market. At 4:08 a horse pulls a plow through the field and then the field is seeded and irrigated. At 4:50 a group of agricultural workers -- possibly Mexican American -- are shown harvesting artichokes in California. At 5:40 celery is shown. At 6:03 a steam locomotive pulls freight cars on the railroad to deliver vegetables to market. At 6:20 a wholesale market is shown where fruits and vegetables are sold. 

Truck farming is the horticultural practice of growing one or more vegetable crops on a large scale for shipment to distant markets. It is usually less intensive and diversified than market gardening. At first this type of farming depended entirely on local or regional markets. Truck farming began after the Civil War as cities grew and the spread of railroads made transport faster and more efficient. In 1868 William Geraty and Frank Towles began farming on Yonges and Wadmalaw Islands, where the soil and long growing season were ideal for truck crops.

This recently re-discovered roll of silent film features images of one of the world's first flying cars, the Waterman Arrowbile developed by inventor Dr. Waldo Waterman. The Arrowbile was a tailless, two-seat, single-engine, pusher configuration roadable aircraft built in the US in the late 1930s. One of the first of its kind, it flew safely but generated little customer interest, and only five were produced.  The aircraft shown is wing # X262Y, the prototype Arrowbile. 

Waldo Dean Waterman (June 16, 1894 – December 8, 1976) was an inventor and aviation pioneer from San Diego, California. He developed a series of tailless swept-wing aircraft incorporating tricycle landing gear, culminating in a low cost and simple to fly flying car. In early September 1937 the first three Arrowbiles flew from the factory at Santa Monica to the National Air Races venue at Cleveland, a great circle distance of about 2,060 mi (3,315 km). The first force landed en route, but the other two reached the races and gave demonstration flights. In the 1960s, Waterman built and flew his last aircraft. The Early Bird was based on the original Curtiss Pusher. The Chevybird was a similar monoplane powered by a Corvair engine.

This recently re-discovered roll of film features images of the world's first flying car, the Waterman Arrowplane, later developed into another plane shown in the film which was known as an Arrowbile. Both were developed by inventor Dr. Waldo Waterman. Like the later Arrowbile, the Arrowplane was a tailless, two-seat, single-engine, pusher configuration roadable aircraft built in the US in the late 1930s. One of the first of its kind, it flew safely but generated little customer interest, and only five were produced. The first one shown in the film (:12) is wing number NS13 built in 1936. It boasted a 95hp Menasco B-4, a detachable swept-back wing, and tricycle gear. The Arrowplane was built with WPA subsidy established by Civil Aviation Authority head Eugene Vidal (father of author Gore Vidal), to encourage production of a safe, easy-to-fly "everyman's airplane."  The Arrowplane was also sometimes known as the W-4. This adopted a similar layout to Waldo Waterman's first flying wing aircraft, known as the Whatsit, but had a strut-braced high wing on a blunt-nosed, narrow fuselage pod with a tricycle undercarriage mounted under it. Its wings had wooden spars and metal ribs and were fabric covered, with triangular endplate fins carrying upright rudders. Its fuselage was steel framed and aluminium covered. It was powered by a 95 hp (71 kW) inverted inline 4-cylinder Menasco B-4 Pirate pusher engine mounted high in the rear of the fuselage.

The second aircraft shown at the 1:14 mark is wing # X262Y, the prototype of the Arrowbile. Waldo Dean Waterman (June 16, 1894 – December 8, 1976) was an inventor and aviation pioneer from San Diego, California.

This color educational film is about how a newspaper is made in a community. It was made by Gary Goldsmith Films in cooperation with the Los Angeles Times. This was made in 1959 since the Dodgers/Cardinals home opener was this year and is shown in the film on the sports page. 

A room of reporters type at their typewriters. An editor assigns a reporter and a photographer to a job. On an airport tarmac, a reporter interviews a man while the photographer takes pictures. A baby elephant is taken off a plane and brought down a ramp. The elephant is sitting off the plane. A picture of the elephant is developed. A United Press teletype machine prints out a story. A reporter takes it and reads it. A picture of the baby elephant arrives via another machine sent from India. The reporter puts paper in his typewriter. He starts typing (:06-2:38). The reporter works. Other reporters at their desks write other stories. A secretary opens the mail - it's a comic strip. The reporter is done with his story and ands it as the photographer hands his picture of the elephant. One editor hands it out to the makeup editor. The makeup editor does a newspaper breakdown on a piece of paper. A copyreader checks the stories for errors. The finished story is rolled up and placed into a tube. The tube is then put into a pipe that sends it to another part of the building. In the composing room, the tube is opened and the story prepared for printing. A machine sets the story in metal type, one line at a time. After it is set in type a copy is made in the printing press. Another man then compares the printed story versus the original story (2:39-5:46). The story is handed back to the man and ready to be printed. Hands move the picture, the story, and various printing press objects into a flat form. A mat is laid over the hard metal type.

This historic promo film from Olin Mathieson entitled "Quality Controls the Sale" demonstrates how the company produced high quality chemical products -- through extensive testing and quality control. The tests shown in the film, which uses antifreeze as an example product, include Ph balance, freezing point, specific gravity, reserve alkalinity, boiling point, plus corrosion studies. 

The Olin Corporation is an American manufacturer of ammunition, chlorine, and sodium hydroxide. Based in Clayton, Missouri, it traces its roots to two companies, both founded in 1892: Franklin W. Olin's "Equitable Powder Company" and the "Mathieson Alkali Works". Olin Industries and Mathieson Chemical merged in 1954 to form the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation. The new company had 35,000 employees, 46 domestic and 17 foreign plants. The company manufactured phenoxy herbicides and anti-crop agents for Fort Detrick under contract to the U.S. Army Chemical Corps.John Olin retired in 1963. The company became the Olin Corporation in 1969 .After being headquartered for many years in Stamford, Connecticut, it is now headquartered in Clayton, Missouri.

As science and methods of transportation accelerated, it was becoming possible to explore the icy tundra (1:21). American scientists had been conducting extensive programs since the international geophysical year of 1957 (1:43). Glaciologists are seen climbing down a ladder into deep ice mines (2:01). Temperatures here dropped below 60 degrees (2:05) and scientists were able to analyze the stress it took on the human body (2:19). Samples of ice are pulled (2:28) and cores were sent to laboratories in the US (2:35). Micro-organisms and dust collected would enable scientists to calculate changes in major trade winds (2:46). Snow blocks are brushed off and photographed (2:56) and these are inspected to understand how the Earth handled the Ice Age and what may lie ahead (3:12). At the bottom of the Antarctic Sea, specimens pulled up may shed light on ocean formations (3:19). Marine life is pulled and inspected (3:38). As the origin of most of the world’s weather is here, meteorologists made up the majority of those working on the programs (3:56). Radio’s are sent into the polar atmosphere and for the first time they were able to prepare synoptic weather maps of the southern hemisphere (4:12). A weather balloon is seen high in the sky (4:15). For land mapping, the US had covered about half of the continent and this was largely due to the help of the US Navy (5:03). The P2V Neptune was equipped with skis to land with supplies (5:12). Dynamite blasts explode behind a seismologist who will measure the sound waves created from the blasts (5:33). This gauged the depth of the ice and snow and some locations were over 10,000 feet deep (5:41). The Air Force brings in the C-130 (6:48) as the jet age had made travelling to remote locations such as this easier (7:12).

This color educational film "Somebody around here is doin' somethin' good" is about the Richardson, Texas waste water treatment plant that was built in 1953. No copyright but this is circa the early 1970s. It was directed by Ginny Durrin and filmed by her husband Kip Durrin.

The City of Richardson, Texas. A car drives, a yard near a house, people in a  public swimming pool, a police man, a woman shopping, a boy on a bike, everyday people on the move, a little girl on a swing. Young boys head fishing. A man drives a lawnmower. Title: Somebody Around Here Is Doing Something Good  - A demonstration of a new technology for phosphorus removal (:07-1:34). A man waters his flowers. Richardson, TX. A sign that shows: leaving Dallas city limit. Children walk on a wall. Children in a public swimming pool. Model Homes sign near an open field. City Hall, shopping center, child on a swing, golf course, boys fishing off a bridge. In 1953 a waste water treatment plant was built. Locals discuss how things are. Water pump outside the plant. A man scrubs the plant. The wastewater treatment plant is a conventional biological trickling filter system. Present capacity is 1.6 million gallons a day. Water enters the plant, a screen catches large debris. After screening the water is pumped into a splitter box where the flow is divided equally into three clarigesters. Clarigesters are a combination of two units: a clarifier on top and a digester. A man climbs a ladder on the side of one of the clarigesters as the process is explained.

This U.S. Air Force film from the late 1970s or early 1980s highlights the KC-10A tanker development program. The McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender is an aerial refueling tanker aircraft operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). A military version of the three-engined DC-10 airliner, the KC-10 was developed from the Advanced Tanker Cargo Aircraft Program. It incorporates military-specific equipment for its primary roles of transport and aerial refueling. It was developed to supplement the KC-135 Stratotanker following experiences in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The KC-10 was the second McDonnell Douglas transport aircraft to be selected by the Air Force following the C-9. A total of 60 KC-10s were produced for the USAF. The Royal Netherlands Air Force operates two similar tankers designated KDC-10 that were converted from DC-10s.

in 1975, under the Advanced Tanker Cargo Aircraft Program, four aircraft were evaluated—the Lockheed C-5, the Boeing 747, the McDonnell Douglas DC-10, and the Lockheed L-1011. The only serious contenders were Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. On 19 December 1977, McDonnell Douglas's DC-10 was chosen. The primary reason of this choice was the KC-10's ability to operate from shorter runways. Initially, a batch of 12 aircraft was ordered, but this was later increased to 60.

The KC-10 Extender first flew on 12 July 1980, but it was not until October the same year that the first aerial refuel sortie was performed. The design for the KC-10 involved modifications from the DC-10-30CF design. Unnecessary airline features were replaced by an improved cargo-handling system and military avionics. Meanwhile, the KC-10 retains 88% commonality with its commercial counterparts, giving it greater access to the worldwide commercial support system. Other changes from the DC-10-30CF include the removal o...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1551a80a-74bf-4b44-bc44-9cadc4ca7728/825f7083-59ed-4be0-8f70-eb7871e5b2e6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3CFVwFu8BstUMVLQkLMfgA</video:player_loc><video:duration>1460</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T04:58:56.249Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xv1mrf1PkjmPw1MVyywQ2h</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/122e2968-c137-4ecb-b512-843bddf15f8e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  GRAF ZEPPELIN WORLD FLIGHT  IMPERIAL THEATER  1920 KENTUCKY DERBY 59854</video:title><video:description>Yesterday's Newsreel 0:12, Television highlights of the news of yesteryear, Graf Zeppelin Circles the Globe with the voice of Tom Hale 0:31, Zeppelin Shipyard 0:41, Dr. Hugo Eckner invited Commander Charles Rosendahl 55:21, Lady Hay and Stow away 1:12, Graf Zeppelin airborne over the Atlantic 1:22, round the world travel, Dr. Eckner is the engineer on the round the world trip, cheers from German crowds 1:53, Reichstag 1:57, Flies nonstop over Russia and Siberia, Graf reaches Japanese airspace after 5 days 2:17, Dr Eckner lands in Japanese to throngs of fans 2:36, Lady Hay takes the controls over the Pacific 2:56, Graf reaches the west coast and California 3:10, deep ocean waters are exchanged for high rocky mountains 3:29, crewman check altitude by lowering ropes, Mississippi river 3:39, Graf crosses Chicago and heads for NY 3:50, skyline of Manhattan and Woolworth tower 4:10, flight finished and heroes greeting 4:20, 12 flying days for the Graf 4:30, Herbert Hoover congratulates the crew 04:42. 1923 Imperial Theatre opens  4:44, Dec 22, 1923 the Imperial theatre is christened with champagne by Mary Hay.

John Paul Stapp, conducted after a ride on the Sonic Wind rocket sled test at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. The exam shows some of his injuries which included broken blood vessels in his eyes (also known as a red out ), and bruising and skin abrasions on his shoulder and torso.These tests were intended to examine the human body's ability to withstand rapid deceleration and G forces.  It was on December 10, 1954, that the Sonic Wind with Stapp aboard accelerated from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s, and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s -- applying a force of 20.6Gs. This was also the highest known acceleration voluntarily encountered by a human, as Stapp reached a speed of 632 mph (1,017 km/h) which broke the land speed record and made him the fastest man on Earth. Stapp believed that the tolerance of humans to acceleration had not yet been reached in tests. He believed it is much greater than thought possible. At 2:37, a slate is shown verifying the date. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

Created by the U.S. Government, "Survival Under Atomic Attack" explains the dangers of the atomic bomb, the effects of radiation and how to protect oneself if caught in the open or in the home.  The film was made in the era before the hydrogen bomb made nuclear survival impossible. Survival Under Atomic Attack was also the title of an official United States government booklet released by the Civil Defense Office. Released at the onset of the Cold War era, the book and pamphlet were in line with rising fears that the Soviet Union would launch a nuclear attack against the United States, and outlined what to do in the event of an atomic attack.Four of the "myths" examined in the film are: Atomic Weapons Will Not Destroy The EarthAtomic bombs hold more death and destruction than man ever before has wrapped up in a single package, but their over-all power still has very definite limits. Not even hydrogen bombs will blow the earth apart or kill us all by radioactivity.Doubling Bomb Power Does Not Double DestructionModern A-bombs can cause heavy damage 2 miles away, but doubling their power would extend that range only to 2.5 miles. To stretch the damage range from 2 to 4 miles would require a weapon more than 8 times the rated power of present models.Radioactivity Is Not The Bomb's Greatest ThreatIn most atom raids, blast and heat are by far the greatest dangers that people must face. Radioactivity alone would account for only a small percentage of all human deaths and injuries, except in underground or underwater explosions.Radiation Sickness Is Not Always FatalIn small amounts, radioactivity seldom is harmful. Even when serious radiation sickness follows a heavy dosage, there is still a good chance for recovery.

In June of 1963, President John F. Kennedy embarked on a visit to five Western European nations for the purpose of spreading good will and building unity among America's allies.
His first stop was West Germany. President Kennedy arrived in West Berlin on June 26, 1963, following appearances in Bonn, Cologne and Frankfurt, where he had given speeches to huge, wildly cheering crowds. In Berlin, an immense crowd gathered in the Rudolph Wilde Platz near the Berlin Wall to listen to the President who delivered this memorable speech above all the noise, concluding with the now-famous ending.

Speech: I am proud to come to this city as the guest of your distinguished Mayor, who has symbolized throughout the world the fighting spirit of West Berlin. And I am proud to visit the Federal Republic with your distinguished Chancellor who for so many years has committed Germany to democracy and freedom and progress, and to come here in the company of my fellow American, General Clay, who has been in this city during its great moments of crisis and will come again if ever needed.

Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was "civis Romanus sum." Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is "Ich bin ein Berliner."

I appreciate my interpreter translating my German!

There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world. Let them come to Berlin. There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future. Let them come to Berlin. And there are some who say in Europe and elsewhere we can work with the Communists. Let them come to Berlin. And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress. Lass' sie nach Berlin kommen. Let them come to Berlin.

This color educational film is about how the African rain forest is used as a main source of timber for the timber industry. It was made in 1957 and sponsored by Unilever.  

Opening: native men work in a forest in Western Africa in the twilight land in a world of trees. The men pull a tree forward. Opening titles: Unilever Presents THE TWILIGHT FOREST, An Editorial Film Production (:09-2:20). African Rain Forest. Giant trees towering high above the ground. Natives hack at the trees. Other play and braid each other's hair. Downed trees, uprooted roots. A swath of trees is missing from a forest (2:21-4:23). Smoke stack on a ship, the ship blows its horn and smoke emits. People walk around a town named Sapele, a city in Nigeria. Ships sit in the harbor. A saw mill. A huge tree is cut down and broken down into smaller and smaller pieces of wood in the mill. Men move straight pieces of wood. Insecticides are sprayed on the wood. A man drives a truck and moves timber. Aerial shot of the saw mill (4:24-6:34). Crane loads of timber are moved from ships and from the water. A crane moves timber. Natives hack through the bush with machetes. Map of Africa is shown detailing Sapele in Nigeria, the Ghana Gold Coast and Samreboi in western Ghana.It is explained where the trees were cut and how, with square miles. Native hacks at a tree, calls over another and that tree is looked at and tagged (6:35-10:11). A Native walks through the rain forest and then climbs a tree. A primitive scaffold is set up so that others man climb the tree. A man hits the tree with an ax and attempts to cut it down. The axes hit the tree and multiple men hack at the giant tree. Forest sits quiet. Natives cut through a fallen tree with a giant hand saw. Men back a bulldozer up and hoist the tree with a rope. The tree is then dragged slowly out of the forest. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3648e1f9-324c-40ff-959a-0361dd957a8c/a6efda78-be56-44ea-8737-a9a81b119e1a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7GMVqWmQWTgknqSTTpgnGy</video:player_loc><video:duration>1620</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T05:17:11.558Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/k2R1x6LLarEcQtTdYWhdC4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1da8df45-9c7a-4883-9bc9-54b58bc14e23.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. AIR FORCE NUCLEAR ATTACK PREPAREDNESS PROCEDURES  ATOMIC WARFARE 27204z  (Print 2)</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

“Nuclear Attack Preparedness Procedures: Survive to Fight” is a 1968 US Air Force training film dramatizes activities at an Air Force Base following a nuclear attack. As a siren blares, pilots are shown being taken to their aircraft (mark 00:40) while command post operations unfold. An eerie silence follows until a “nuclear flash” fills the screen at mark 02:24 and a fiery mushroom cloud races upward. The narrator explains the sheltered command post personnel review the status of their base and its operational capability, including assessing and reporting damage (mark 03:55), dispatching vehicles, clearing runways, and abandoning some buildings. A flashback series starting at mark 05:18 details some of the work involved in preparing a base for just such a nuclear attack before returning to some of the organized chaos of the exercise near mark 07:00. Medical personnel assist in exposure control and treat patients (mark 10:05) and upon an assessment of radiation, begin radioactive fallout procedures (mark 12:18). Emergency base operations unfold including an order for ramp wash down at mark 15:45 and aircraft return to base before again heading to the skies at mark 21:43.The aircraft featured appear to be F-101B interceptors. The McDonnell F-101 Voodoo was a supersonic jet fighter which served the United States Air Force (USAF) and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). We haven't been able to determine where these particular aircraft were based -- one tail number appears to be O-7-442 and that should be a great clue!Initially designed by McDonnell Aircraft as a long-range bomber escort (known as a penetration fighter) for the Strategic Air Command (SAC), the Voodoo was instead developed as a nuclear-armed fighter-bomber for the Tactical Air Command (TAC), and as a photo reconnaissance aircraft based on the same airframe.

Made by the Clark Equipment Co. to promote its line of mining construction equipment, this 1960s film shows a specialized Michigan Dozer in operation at an open pit mine and discusses its operation. The tired Michigan is shown working with swing shovels, cleaning up ore piles and loading trucks. Tips are given about how to operate the machine properly. 

Michigan wheel dozers were well accepted by the earthmoving industry and found use in all manner of operations. Initially based on the chassis of one of Michigan’s existing line of wheel loaders, the model 180 was nevertheless regarded as a success and development of other machines followed. It became apparent to Michigan, however, that some modifications were required to fully realize the potential of its wheel dozer, resulting in the development of a dedicated wheel dozer chassis, rather than adaptation of an existing loader chassis. This was very much a step in the right direction, and the models 180-II, 280 and 380 wheel dozers were introduced the following year. The chief drawback of the design was the wide area needed to maneuver around as the machines all had rear-wheel steering as did almost all of the wheel loaders and dozers of the time. LeTourneau’s machines were superior in this respect as their steering acted more like a skid-steer loader of today allowing them to execute a 180 degree turn in practically their own length. This though, while convenient, was quite hard on tires.

A solution was close at hand, however, with the development of articulated steering. First pioneered on Mixermobile’s ‘Scoopmobile’ wheel loaders, the concept soon caught on and by the mid 1960s, most major manufacturers, including Michigan, were offering articulated steer machines. Michigan applied this new technology to all its wheel dozers except the 180 which by then was up to it...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a6bdd0f3-8008-47bd-b456-3d9a8a938d17/6c788c6f-4b76-466f-a9fb-e92a51ebe5a9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mAdzQLZto8fMZ5CPu4CsfT</video:player_loc><video:duration>576</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T05:22:18.880Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/koSvHP9pjWmynBvbnet6uL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6998dc2e-455e-410a-9c62-537a909d02c6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1944 ARMY AIR FORCES WEEKLY DIGEST #60  MALARIA CONTROL   EUROPEAN THEATER &amp; BURMA FRONT   10314</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This vintage color film (c.1950s) by the Monon Railroad and featuring the Purdue Glee Club, shows the Monon Railroad at the height of its operations. The Monon Railroad, also known as the Chicago, Indianapolis, and Louisville Railway (1897–1956), was an American railroad that operated almost entirely within the state of Indiana. The film highlights how the Monon Railroad and “Hoosier” locomotive were instrumental in the agricultural and commercial development of America’s Northwest and features clips of American industry as well as important landmarks across the three cities connected by Monon: Louisville, Chicago, and Indianapolis.

This 1960s era, color movie presented by Shell is designed to demonstrate how airplanes fly with specific attention paid to wing design and lift ratios for air pressure and speed. The movie opens with iconic images of a bird flying overhead. It is Larus argentatus or the Herring Gull. A Boeing 747 soars over the water. "How an Airplane Flies, a Shell film. Part one, Weight and Lift." A small plane taxis to the runway 1:24. A Cessna 150 Aerobat with a wingspan of 32 ½ feet. The Cessna lifts off 2:00. An animation displays air pressures at sea level and above 2:40. Women walk down the street battling strong winds 3:30. The Cessna soars in the air 4:04. A man looks at a smoke tunnel machine and the camera turns it horizontally 5:03. The man inserts a cylinder into the smoke tunnel 5:20. The man takes a flat plate and inserts it into the smoke tunnel 5:45. Air is disrupted in the smoke tunnel when the flat plate is turned vertically 6:10. A curved plate is inserted into the smoke tunnel 6:40. A man inspects the wings of a Cessna to show the viewer it’s different shapes 7:35. A model of a wing is put into the smoke tunnel to show how smooth the air flows over and under the wing 8:13. The phenomenon of how air flows over the wing and lifts a plane into the air is demonstrated in the smoke tunnel 8:55. A new model of the wing is constructed with pinholes and connected to a manometer to measure air pressure 9:26. A woman drinks from a straw to demonstrate how air pressure works and then measured in a manometer 9:45. The manometer measures air pressure as the wing model is poised at different angles in the wind tunnel 10:32. An animation demonstrates how wind and air pressure hits the wing and accesses the lift force for the wing 10:55. A Cessna takes off from the runway 11:30.

This color educational/promotional film is about how much better a 1974 Chrysler Dart and Duster are compared with a Chevy Nova and Maverick. It was made in 1973 during the Oil Crisis and looks at "smaller" cars that Americans are predicted to buy. 

Titles: Chrysler Motors Corporation (:09-:18). Wink Martindale, the game show host, hosts this. He talks to the camera. Dodge Dart is shown driving, followed by the Plymouth Valiant Duster (:19-:37). Opening title: DART AND DUSTER COMPARED WITH NOVA AND MAVERICK (:38-:41). Plymouth compact cars are shown. A car backs into a space. A hood is open for inspection. Parts of a Chrysler are shown separately. Mechanical vs electronic parts shown. Under the car, a suspension is shown. A mechanic works under a car (:41-2:19). A mechanic puts a car together. Dodge Dart bumpers compared to a Chevy Nova or Maverick. A 1974 Dart Sport races down the road. On the screen: Dart and Duster Automatic transmission doesn't need service under normal driving conditions but a Chevy Nova needs to have fluids and a service filter replaced at 24,000 miles. Maverick requires a band adjustment at 12,000 miles. Dart and Duster spark plugs replace at 18,000, Nova at  6,000 with leaded fuel, 12,000 with unleaded and a Maverick at 12,000 miles. Dart and Duster lubrication required at 36,000, a Nova at 6,000 (or 6 months), and a Maverick at 36,000. Three drivers exit their cars (Plymouth vs Chevy side by side) and open the hoods (2:20-4:04). Maverick has a different placement for their hood making it unbalanced. The cars open their trunks. Duster has lots of space and the spare tire is under the panel for more space. A Nova with its open trunk doesn't have lots of space, Maverick's trunk is smaller as well. Inside a Plymouth looks nice and polished when compared to a Nova and Maverick (4:05-...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ef995ff9-2a17-4208-bd99-5ea1c2943b54/5cb97877-1b45-4c0a-958e-7bc8debbe019-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vA2JhzV7TeEXk1HziQqd3h</video:player_loc><video:duration>561</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T05:40:18.179Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/umVE9UYuniKzwPkaJoyiFi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/68fb4e27-6d4c-4ba7-a1c8-d4e71ce63865.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII U.S. NAVY PILOT TRAINING FILM  " THE INVERTED SPIN "  STEARMAN BIPLANE  87624</video:title><video:description>This film is unclassified. It is a 1940’s era, black and white movie. The Navy Department presents a United States Navy training film. Produced for the Bureau of Aeronautics by Wilding Picture Productions, Inc. Copyright 1943 by Wilding Picture Productions, Inc. The Inverted Spin. Intermediate Acrobatics, Part VII. The purpose of the film is to teach pilots how to enter into - and pull out of - an inverted spin maneuver. The movie opens with a forward view of a plane; our viewpoint is from behind the propeller 1:05. A plane is flying upside down 1:25. The plane is falling and spinning upside down 1:40. A plane flies with two passengers in an open cockpit 2:00. Pilot adjusts dials to get ready for an inverted spin 2:30. A plane flies and gets ready to perform the inverted spin maneuver 3:00. The plane flies upward and into the inverted position 3:15. The plane falls and spins downward 3:30. An aerial view of the pilot’s feet inside the cockpit 3:45. The oil pressure gauge is shown 4:20. The plane flies straight 4:30. The plane flies upside down and spins facing downward 5:16. The plane goes into an inverted spin 5:50. A plane flies directly downward and then up again into an inverted position where we see the pilot begin to control the spin 6:30. We have a view from behind the propeller 6:53. The horizon appears before us 7:02. We have a pilot’s view of the horizon as the pilot spins the plane into different positions 7:40. Words appear on the screen. “The inverted spin bears some relation to the normal spin in that any plane that is difficult to spin may also be difficult to bring out of a spin.” 7:50. “The higher the altitude at which the plane is spun, the more difficult it will be to bring it out. An increase in altitude has the same effect as an increase in wing loading.” 8:00. “The inverted spin differs from the normal spin in that recovery from an inverted spin is often more rapid and more certain than recovery from the normal spin.”. 8:15.

This historic film (with foreign language soundtrack -- Swedish?) shows the Boeing 929 Jetfoil, aa passenger-carrying waterjet-propelled hydrofoil design by Boeing.

Boeing began adapting many systems used in jet airplanes for hydrofoils. Robert Bateman led development. Boeing launched its first passenger-carrying waterjet-propelled hydrofoil in April 1974. It could carry from 167 to 400 passengers. It was based on the same technology pioneered by the patrol hydrofoil Tucumcari, and used some of the same technology used in the Pegasus class military patrol hydrofoils. The product line was licensed to the Japanese company Kawasaki Heavy Industries. 

Boeing launched three Jetfoil 929-100 hydrofoils that were acquired in 1975 for service in the Hawaiian Islands, which was operated by a Honolulu-based operator Seaflite Inc. Seaflight operated 3 Boeing Jetfoils between 1975 and the company's demise in 1979. When the service ended the three hydrofoils were acquired by Far East Hydrofoil (now TurboJET) for service between Hong Kong and Macau. About two dozen Boeing Jetfoils saw service in Hong Kong-Macau, Japan, South Korea, the English Channel, the Canary Islands, the Korea Strait, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia.

In 1979, the Royal Navy purchased a Boeing Jetfoil, HMS Speedy, to provide the Royal Navy with an opportunity to gain practical experience in the operation and support of a modern hydrofoil, to establish technical and performance characteristics, and to assess the capability of a hydrofoil in the Fishery Protection Squadron.

In 1980 B&amp;I shipping lines opened a Jetfoil service from Dublin to Liverpool with the jetfoil Cú Na Mara (Hound of the Sea). The service was not a success and was discontinued at the end of the 1981 season.

The Belgian Regie voor Maritiem Transport (RMT) operated the jetfoils Princesse Clementine...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fea2d203-fa9e-41ed-8392-36c6779f07ca/6c3e1159-ea4e-45dd-814b-e515ff110c73-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xrJ5avDbhY7ygt9DXp435j</video:player_loc><video:duration>385</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T05:41:32.232Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uP5YqCG4diLB3jbcwMbNT6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a0b01858-826d-4910-804b-b4c4ba1eb029.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WORLD WAR ONE  NEWSREELS  ARGONNE OFFENSIVE   LONDON ZEPPELIN RAID  RUSSIAN FRONT (SILENT)  27924</video:title><video:description>This silent newsreel includes three different segments. The first shows the Battle of the Argonne, the second a Zeppelin raid on London (3:50), and the third fighting on the Russian Front (7:09).

The Meuse-Argonne Offensive, also known as the Maas-Argonne Offensive and the Battle of the Argonne Forest, was a part of the final Allied offensive of World War I that stretched along the entire Western Front. It was fought from September 26, 1918, until the Armistice on November 11, a total of 47 days. The battle was the largest in United States military history, involving 1.2 million American soldiers, and was one of a series of Allied attacks known as the Hundred Days Offensive, which brought the war to an end. The Meuse-Argonne was the principal engagement of the American Expeditionary Forces during the First World War.

 The Zeppelin Raid film is a short silent film that was made during WWI to dramatize use of dirigibles by the Germans to attack the allied forces, and especially civilian targets. The best-known German strategic bombing campaign during World War I was the campaign against England, although strategic bombing raids were carried out or attempted on other fronts. The main campaign against England started in January 1915 using airships. From then until the end of World War I the German Navy and Army Air Services mounted over 50 bombing raids on the United Kingdom. These were generally referred to as "Zeppelin raids": although both Zeppelin and Schütte-Lanz airships were used, the Zeppelin company was much better known and was responsible for producing the majority of the airships used. Weather conditions and night flying conditions made airship navigation and therefore bombing accuracy difficult. Bombs were often dropped miles off target (one raid on London actually bombed Hull) and accurate targeting of military installations was impossible. The civilian casualties made the Zeppelins an object of hatred, and they were widely dubbed “baby-killers”.

This silent 16mm film footage promotes the Century 21 Exposition, also known as the Seattle World's Fair,  held April 21, 1962, to October 21, 1962.  The footage shows various pavilions for the fair under construction. Many are very nearly complete, and so the film likely dates from just before when the fair opened. One of the highlights shown is footage of the Alwac International Alweg monorail at 3:39, and the famous Space Needle at 10:38.

10 million people attended the Century 21 Exposition. Unlike some other world's fairs of its era, Century 21 made a profit. .As planned, the exposition left behind a fairground and numerous public buildings and public works; some credit it with revitalizing Seattle's economic and cultural life. The fair saw the construction of the Space Needle and Alweg monorail, as well as several sports venues (Washington State Coliseum, now KeyArena) and performing arts buildings (the Playhouse, now the Cornish Playhouse), most of which have since been replaced or heavily remodeled.The site, slightly expanded since the fair, is now called Seattle Center; the United States Science Pavilion is now the Pacific Science Center. Another notable Seattle Center building, the Experience Music Project, was built nearly 40 years later and designed to fit in with the fairground atmosphere.

Dating to 1942 and then re-released in the post-WWII period, "American Anniversary" is a patriotic short film directed by Oscar winner Leslie Roush. The film was funded by the National Association of Manufacturers and produced by Paramount Pictures. The film shows 20 years in the life of an immigrant named Joe Karnak, who arrives in America uncertain of his place in society and future. Over the course of the film he becomes a substantial contributor to his community. According to a March, 1942 interview with Roush, he became interested in making ‘American Anniversary” because he saw in it "an opportunity for him to contribute to the morale of his country by vivid dramatization of the freedoms and opportunity that have made America great." Karnak is played by veteran radio actor Neill O'Malley, who was most well known for Kraft Theatre (1947).  

The film's plot is simple: a newspaper editor plans to attend a special dinner in honor of Joe Karnak, a loyal employee at a small town tool company. The editor first met Karnak after he was arrested as a "suspicious character" for trying to eat a huge cake in the local city park. After a short trial in front of a judge, it is revealed that the cake was bought to celebrate Joe's first year anniversary of arriving in America -- his "American Anniversary".  Joe's pursuit of the American dream after escaping the "old country" serves as a platform for the filmmaker to shine a light on freedom of the press and other American values, including the right to work, and the right to express oneself freely.

Released by William H. Ganz Company of New York, this silent newsreel is from Volume 1, Issue 21 of a series. The film tells the story of the voyage of the Graf Zeppelin flight around the world, which is referred to as the Hearst Zeppelin flight because it was financed by William Randolph Hearst. The American newspaper publisher paid half the cost of the project to fly Graf Zeppelin around the world, with four staff on the flight; Drummond-Hay, Karl von Wiegand, the Australian explorer Hubert Wilkins, and the cameraman Robert Hartmann. Drummond-Hay became the first woman to circumnavigate the world by air. Flying time for the four Lakehurst to Lakehurst legs was 12 days, 12 hours, and 13 minutes; the entire circumnavigation (including stops) took 21 days, 5 hours, and 31 minutes to cover 33,234 km (20,651 mi; 17,945 nmi). It was the fastest circumnavigation of the globe at the time.

Hearst stipulated that the flight in August 1929 officially start and finish at Lakehurst. Round-the-world tickets were sold for almost $3000 (equivalent to $45,000 in 2019), but most participants had their costs paid for them. The flight's expenses were offset by the carriage of souvenir mail between Lakehurst, Friedrichshafen, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. A US franked letter flown on the whole trip from Lakehurst to Lakehurst required $3.55 (equivalent to $53 in 2019) in postage.

Highlights of the film include departure from Lakehurst (:50), crossing the Atlantic (1:30), view over Freidrichshafen (2:58), view from Berlin (3:18), traveling over Siberia (4:00), Lady Grace Drummond Hay (5:00), Tokyo (5:45), across the Pacific to California (8:10), Los Angeles (8:52), captain of the craft Dr. Hugo Eckener is seen (9:44), Graf Zeppelin over Manhattan (11:30), return to Lakehurst (13:01).

NOTE: This particular film is only available in SD quality.

This reel of film shows Soviet atomic bomb tests. It starts with RDS-6s (:07), known in the West as Joe 4. (The Soviet warhead name RDS-6s meaning "Reaktivnyi Dvigatel Specialnyi" or "Special Jet Engine") was an American nickname for the first Soviet test of a thermonuclear weapon on August 12, 1953, that detonated with a force equivalent to 400 kilotons of TNT. Scholars dispute the authenticity of RDS-6 as a thermonuclear device as it did not manage to produce a yield consistent with a true hydrogen bomb. It utilized a scheme in which fission and fusion fuel (lithium-6 deuteride) were "layered", a design known as the Sloika (Russian: Слойка, named after a type of layered puff pastry) model in the Soviet Union. A ten-fold increase in explosive power was achieved by a combination of fusion energy and neutron-initiated ("boosted") fission. A similar design was earlier theorized by Edward Teller, but never tested in the U.S., as the "Alarm Clock".

At 5:53 the Joe 25 test is shown, dating from September 2, 1956, including at 6:13 images of the bomb being loaded aboard an aircraft for the test. The test occurred at Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan and had a 51kt yield. The Semipalatinsk Test Site (STS or Semipalatinsk-21), also known as "The Polygon", was the primary testing venue for the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons. It is located on the steppe in northeast Kazakhstan (then the Kazakh SSR), south of the valley of the Irtysh River. The scientific buildings for the test site were located around 150 km (93 mi) west of the town of Semipalatinsk (later renamed Semey), near the border of East Kazakhstan Region and Pavlodar Region with most of the nuclear tests taking place at various sites further to the west and south, some as far as into Karagandy Region.

The issue opens with shots of the sea, which is a “reserve of global resources,” including metals from deep-sea nodules (polymetallic nodules). These nodules cover vast areas of the sea bottom, and their potential is the reason for a major deep-ocean project being carried out. Deep Sea Nodules can be the size of potatoes, and their porous structure accumulates layers of various metals. They are very slow growing, but sizeable nodules cover areas of the sea floor, providing a significant reserve of metals. As part of the project to determine the mining feasibility of nodules, the first self-propelled robot miner (01:38) is developed and tested. Scientists examine nodules in a lab (02:52), but to answer a number of questions surrounding them, the National Science Foundation uses Research Vessel Melvillle (03:12) to carry out underwater tests. Members of the crew lower sound beacons to create a grid (03:35). Then a robot mapping vehicle is lowered into the water to gather data within the grid. In the control room (04:10), the team monitors the robot’s data. The next step is the collection of sea floor samples (05:08); a box corer is lowered into the water to gather sample nodules, transporting nodules and their environment to the surface. Scientists examine the contents, conduct tests, and record data. The results indicate nodules may grow similar to coral. Next, piston corers (06:52) are used to take out samples of core sections of the floor to add to the mission’s overall understanding. After two weeks, the samples and data are collected, stored, and made accessible to over 50 research centers throughout the world. The next phase involves exploration ship Governor Ray (08:06), which monitors a sea mining research site, and Glomar Explorer (08:22), a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e371ac2d-fb4d-4479-9e7c-7cd23abba3b8/471b6fc3-630a-417f-884b-7af268b3fb15-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/u5YuAhijmN7GGpuvXMYbjd</video:player_loc><video:duration>874</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T06:54:55.138Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1XVihymAgKByxnozTJQUqM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/050c0d79-07be-4baa-801a-80df5a1d5b56.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1939 ROBERT MARIAUD  VOYAGE TO AFRICA &amp; SOUTH AMERICA ABOARD OCEAN LINER SS FLORIDA (FRENCH) 93324</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This color educational film is about zinc smelting at the Swansea Vale Spelter Works. It was made in the early 1960s based on information in the film itself. Swansea is a coastal city and county, officially known as the City and County of Swansea in Wales. During the 19th-century industrial heyday, Swansea was the key centre of the copper-smelting industry, earning the nickname Copperopolis. In 1876, the Swansea Vale works were the first smelter to be built in Britain primarily for the production of zinc metal.

This fragmentary, silent material comes from a 35mm nitrate film containing different newsreels. It begins with President Hoover reviewing the U.S. fleet off the Virginia coast. Many battleships are visible moving in  a line. Eventually a live fire exercise begins. At 1:41 a sailing vessel is seen foregrounded against a battleship (this footage is tinted). At 2:07 is a brief aerial shot of the fleet. At 2:27 the fleet moves towards New York. At 3:00 is a wonderful raking shot of the USS Nevada underway. At 3:16, an MGM International Newsreel proclaims the rescue of five men from the sinking schooner Northern Light by the crew of the liner Baltic. This incident took place in December of 1929.  A news article described the rescue this way: "In a wind of hurricane force yesterday the White Star liner Baltic stood
by the stricken schooner Northern Light, out of St. John's, N. F., and
saved five of a crew of six men who were forced to abandon the light
vessel in the Winter storm. The lost man was Rex Parsons, 20 years old,
a seaman. " At 7:14 footage of a warship, probably a battleship, under construction is shown.The film ends with footage from 1930, Sir Thomas Lipton is seen as his yacht Shamrock is launched to contend for the America's Cup.

Dating to the 1950s, this German Air Force training film shows many aspects of basic pilot training. It was apparently shot at Landsberg-Lech Air Base located near the town of Landsberg am Lech in Bavaria. 

The aircraft shown throughout the film are T-6 Harvards, also known as Texans, American single-engined advanced trainer aircraft developed during WWII. A Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star is shown at the end of the film (21:45). This was used as a two-seater jet trainer for military pilots. It is an updated version of the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star, the first American fighter jet. The German Air Force took delivery of 192 of the Lockheed trainers between 1956 and 1959. The T-33 did not remain long in service as a training jet because of the rapid development of jet aircraft and the purchase of the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter as the standard fighter plane for the West German air force. 

Some of the highlights of the film include:
1:10 Control tower operations
1:20 Pilot prep including parachute check
2:54 Ground training in a Harvard
4:18 Training using a classroom "dummy" plane with working landing gear
4:39 radial engine demonstration in classroom
6:54 ramp procedures
8:30 maneuvers in the Harvard trainer
13:50 landing / first solo flight
15:17 wingman and formation flight training
19:45 navigation training and use of maps

The German Air Force  is the aerial warfare branch of the Bundeswehr, the armed forces of Germany. The German Air Force (as part of the Bundeswehr) was founded in 1956 during the era of the Cold War as the aerial warfare branch of the armed forces of then West Germany. After the reunification of West and East Germany in 1990, it integrated parts of the air force of the former German Democratic Republic, which itself had been founded in 1956 as part of the National People's Army.

This 1940s collection of "soundies" -- musical films that were the era's equivalent of a music video -- features wonderful performances by African American artists. First, Henry "Red" Allen and his band with J.C. Higginbotham perform "Drink Hearty". This was directed by William Forest Crouch. Henry James "Red" Allen (January 7, 1908 – April 17, 1967) was an American jazz trumpeter and vocalist whose style has been claimed to be the first to fully incorporate the innovations of Louis Armstrong.

At 3:06 Fats Waller performs "Honeysuckle Rose". At 5:23 a unknown artist (do you recognize him, if so leave a note in the comments) is shown in an entertaining soundie that uses a special effect in the form of a TV set or soundie jukebox known as a Mills Panoram. 
Thomas Wright "Fats" Waller (May 21, 1904 – December 15, 1943) was an American jazz pianist, organist, composer, violinist, singer, and comedic entertainer. His innovations in the Harlem stride style laid the groundwork for modern jazz piano. 

At 8:08, Louis Armstrong performs "Swingin' on Nothin'". (Note: The reason the title card is reversed is because this is what is known as a "reverse soundie" intended to be shown in the special Mills Panoram jukebox that projected films. A version of this appeared in the 1950s called a Scopitone) This soundie was produced by Sam Coslom and directed by Josef Berne.  Louis Daniel Armstrong (August 4, 1901 – July 6, 1971), nicknamed "Satchmo", "Satch", and "Pops", was an American trumpeter, composer, vocalist, and actor who was among the most influential figures in jazz. His career spanned five decades, from the 1920s to the 1960s, and different eras in the history of jazz.[3] In 2017, he was inducted into the Rhythm &amp; Blues Hall of Fame.

Made by the Israeli Motion Picture Studios for the home market, the silent film "Six Days in June" shows some of the events inhe Six-Day War, also known as the June War, 1967 Arab–Israeli War, or Third Arab–Israeli War. This was a conflict fought between June 5 and 10, 1967 by Israel and the neighboring states of Egypt (known at the time as the United Arab Republic), Jordan, and Syria.In the period leading up to June 1967, tensions became dangerously heightened. Israel reiterated its post-1956 position that the closure of the straits of Tiran to its shipping would be a casus belli. In May Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser announced that the straits would be closed to Israeli vessels and then mobilised its Egyptian forces along its border with Israel. On 5 June Israel launched what it claimed were a series of preemptive airstrikes against Egyptian airfields. Claims and counterclaims relating to this series of events are one of a number of controversies relating to the conflict.The Egyptians were caught by surprise, and nearly the entire Egyptian air force was destroyed with few Israeli losses, giving the Israelis air supremacy. Simultaneously, the Israelis launched a ground offensive into the Gaza Strip and the Sinai, which again caught the Egyptians by surprise. After some initial resistance, Egyptian leader Gamal Abdel Nasser ordered the evacuation of the Sinai. Israeli forces rushed westward in pursuit of the Egyptians, inflicted heavy losses, and conquered the Sinai.Nasser induced Syria and Jordan to begin attacks on Israel by using the initially confused situation to claim that Egypt had defeated the Israeli air strike. Israeli counterattacks resulted in the seizure of East Jerusalem as well as the West Bank from the Jordanians, while Israel's retaliation against Syria resulted in its occupation of the Golan Heights.On June 11, a ceasefire was...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a39e1fe2-4605-4a6b-b45a-a3708f11396a/5a889da2-be84-4208-92f5-6dd1e99c7179-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mcQXqbucH7zvNQC7ACcRES</video:player_loc><video:duration>486</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T07:52:28.295Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qaCLuZ8geFMN4Y5kRtUDgA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d89fa604-6c0e-4072-b790-69eaf0291cd1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" WHY DO YOU THINK THEY CALL IT DOPE?

This series of anti-drug ads includes the famous "Why Do You Think They Call It Dope?", which was part of Richard Nixon's National Mass Media Campaign Against Drug Abuse. Other commercials include PSAs by the American Osteopathic Association and the Food and Drug Administration, warning against drug dependence and the reactions that can occur when prescription and non-prescription drugs are used in combinations without the advice of a doctor. 

The "war on drugs" officially began at a press conference on June 17, 1971. That was the day that President Nixon, declared drug abuse “public enemy number one.” “In order to fight and defeat this enemy,” he stated, “ it is necessary to wage a new, all-out offensive.”  These commercials were part of that offensive.  Nixon wasn't just imagining that American faced a new and fast-growing problem. In 1960, there were over 200 narcotics related deaths in New York City, but by 1970, that figure had risen to over a thousand and heroin addicts numbered in the tens of thousands. Crime rates in the United States had risen by over 100% since the end of the Eisenhower administration. The Nixon administration was able to impact these figures, with crime falling 72% in several major cities and many people opting to enter new drug treatment programs. But in many ways, the fight against drugs was just beginning.

This silent newsreel footage shows the results of the Japanese offensive against Shanghai and Chinchow. It likely dates to 1932, when Japan conducted the Jinzhou (Chinchow) Operation and caused the January 28th Incident. The film begins with images of refugees on the move and shows many dead bodies in the street, and fires raging. Various scenes show the Japanese Army on parade and in combat, refugees fleeing the advancing Japanese, and the fall of Chinchow (3:19). At (3:31) captured Manchurian troops are shown. 

The Jinzhou Operation was part of the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, which was a preliminary, contributing factor to the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War in 1937. The January 28 incident or Shanghai incident (January 28 – March 3, 1932) was a conflict between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan. It took place in the Shanghai International Settlement which was under international control. Japanese army officers, defying higher authorities, had provoked anti-Japanese demonstrations in the international District of Shanghai. A Chinese mob attacked Japanese Buddhist priests, killing one. Heavy fighting broke out, and China appealed with no success to the League of Nations. A truce was finally reached on May 5, calling for Japanese military withdrawal, and an end to Chinese boycotts of Japanese products. Internationally, the episode intensified opposition to Japan's aggressiveness in Asia. The episode helped undermine civilian rule in Tokyo; Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi was assassinated on May 15, 1932.

“Explosives and Demolitions: Bangalore Torpedoes” is a War Department Official Training Film of the Army Service Forces from 1944. It is produced by the Army Pictorial Service in black and white. It is an instructional video on Bangalore torpedoes, which are primarily used to clear paths through wire obstacles and heavy undergrowth.The film opens on a barbed wire fence, slowly panning towards soldiers crawling along the ground as they slide a Bangalore torpedo under the fence (0:42). A Bangalore torpedo is a thin metal tube packed with TNT (Trinitrotoluene), invented by the British at the Bangalore Cantonment in India. The soldier is seen lighting the fuse, then he runs for cover (1:19). The torpedo explodes in a wooded area, unleashing a small mushroom cloud of smoke. Soldiers unpack a box containing torpedoes, removing one of them. A diagram describes the dimensions of the torpedo: 5 feet long, 2⅛ inches in diameter, weighs 14 pounds, with a waterproof case of 20 gauge sheet metal (1:38). It contains an explosive of 80/20 amatol with 4 inches of crystalline TNT at each end. The fragmentation of the metal case allows for the successful breaching of barbed wire. Soldiers handle the torpedo, putting together sections attached by sleeves with spring clips, which prevent the sections from being pulled apart (2:04). They demonstrate trying to pull apart the torpedo. They place a nose sleeve on the end, preventing wires, brush, and other obstacles from catching on the front end (2:25).  Viewers see the well at the end of a section, about three inches deep. Soldiers prepare an electric blasting cap and insert it in the well. The soldier secures it by creating a half hitch knot around the end of the section, fitting it securely. The soldier inserts a non-electric cap, time fuse, and fuse lighter, wedged in...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/09e18a6a-30e1-4f99-b6cc-afd3b5b672e6/867c73aa-0b2e-4f63-bbcd-188881cf1686-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2dLzXzBrQM8NMi7SFJRqSb</video:player_loc><video:duration>568</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T08:12:51.768Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3eXEbcGzgnWVfHLjd8ugNg</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2ab5be8f-6a3c-46ad-9e8d-dbf0c6ea94f9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NOVEMBER 15, 1969  VIETNAM WAR PROTEST IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

The New York Times reported the day's events this way:  "A vast throng of Americans, predominantly youthful and constituting the largest mass march in the nation's capital, demonstrated peacefully in the heart of the city today, demanding a rapid withdrawal of United States troops from Vietnam...The predominant event of the day was that of a great and peaceful army of dissent moving through the city... In the lead were three drummers, followed by youths carrying aloft 11 wooden coffins that contained placards bearing the names of the dead...Next came a man bearing an immense wooden cross (seen in the film at 2:31), followed by a large banner saying 'Silent Majority for Peace' (see in the film at 3:10) and then row after row of marchers 17 abreast shouting, 'Peace now, peace now.'"

This silent film footage is from the gun cameras of German fighter planes intercepting Allied aircraft including B-17s in the skies of Europe. The films were shot using recording 16mm cameras in the wings of the aircraft, and used to both verify kills and probables, as well as examine tactics used in combat.

The title card at :19 roughly translates as "Original footage of the defense of the Reich by hunter killer squadrons operating against bomber groups."  Each entry shows the name of the pilot, type of aircraft he was flying, and the target as well as date. For example the title card at :27 indicates that Lt. Gerth of the Assault Group attacked at Boeing F II on April 29, 1944, while flying an FW-190. (The F II is a designation for the B-17). The card at 4:56 indicates Subordinate Officer Maximowitz of the Assault Group attacked a B-24 Liberator on May 8, 1944 while flying an FW-190.

Part travelogue, part warning of the future clash with Japan, "Thunderheads" is impressive in scope and story. Features rare color images of the Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.

Dating to the 1950s, this historic educational film shows diesel locomotives in operation and discusses how they are maintained. At 1;07, an American Locomotive Co. ALCO PA is shown. The original Alco PA (the P stood for Passenger and A referred to the unit having a cab) was built right after World War II in 1946 and was rated at 2,000 horsepower (later upgraded models were carried 2,250 horsepower).  At 1:22 a diagram shows how a diesel operates. At 3:13, EMD F3 locomotives are shown. EMD F3 was one of the most successful cab units the builder ever produced with upwards of 2,000 A and B units constructed by the time production had ended. The locomotive could be found in use on virtually all of the major railroads at the time and helped extinguished the use of steam in standard freight service. At 3:24 a hostler is shown checking the sand box and refilling it. At 4:14, the running gear is cleaned while at 4:24 the fuel tank is filled with diesel. At 5:10 the water tank is refilled by a shirtless railroader. At 5:45 the locomotive goes through a pressure washer and then a crew of workmen scrub the unit. At 7:15 the locomotive backs into the shops for further work. At 8:05 the engineer enters the cab and sits on the right side of the locomotive. At 8:20 the engineer begins operating the engine. At 9:18 a brakeman directs the engineer into position to couple with the train.

These vintage Volkswagen commercials from the 1960s and 1970s promote the Bug, Karaman Gia and microbus. They were created by Doyle Dane Bernbach, an ad agency  founded by William Bernbach, Ned Doyle and Maxwell Dane in 1949. The company delivered smart, catchy, soft-sell campaigns. The VW ads were intentionally created to look different from typical American auto commercials, with self-deprecating and sometimes humorous scripts that presented the simple, "smaller" German car as a terrific alternative to "big" Detroit steel.  In the end the advertising succeeded wildly. By the time production ended, Volkswagen had built 21,529,464 Beetles, making it the most produced car ever.

This well shot silent 16mm home movie shows a trip to Indonesia undertaken by an American tourist in the 1960s. The film begins with images shot in Jakarta including the famed Hotel Indonesia designed by Neal A. Prince, visible at 1:09. Various other buildings shown include a modern government building or hotel at 1:30, and Dutch colonial buildings shown at 1:43, and what might be a school at 1:55. (If you recognize these buildings please leave comments).  At 3:10 a fish market is shown. At 8:30 goats have a ramming or head butting contest. 

At 14:07 the Gedung Sate in Bandbung is shown, one of the many beautiful buildings that earned this area the nickname "Paris in Java". This government building was completed in 1924. At 14:17 a charming shopping district is shown.

Overlooking the valley with the view of the city, Villa Isola was completed in 1933 by the Dutch architect Wolff Schoemaker for the Dutch media tycoon Dominique Willem Berretty, the founder of the Aneta press-agency in the Dutch East Indies. The original purpose of the building was for Berretty's private house, but then it was transformed into a hotel after his death and now it serves as the headmastership office of the University of Education Indonesia. 

One of the sights seen at 14:35 is the Swarha Islamic Building, built in 1930 - 1935 by Dutch architect Wolff Schoemaker.

Made by the Hotpoint appliance company to promote their electric appliances, "Sauce for the Gander" is a 1940 comedy starring Damien O'Flynn, Joan Woodbury and a 
very young Alan Ladd in an un-credited role. (This may very well be Ladd's earliest big screen appearance.) 

The plot of this film revolves around Tom Tupper (Damian O'Flynn) who is stopped by a 'man on the spot' reporter (Alan Ladd) during his daily commute. Asked for his opinion on male/female relations, Tom tells the radio audience that he thinks men could do a better job running the household than women. When he arrives home, his infuriated wife Margaret (Joan Woodbury) proposes that her husband put his money where his mouth is. The couple switch roles, with Margaret going to the office and Tom cooking and cleaning. While Margaret becomes a successful entrepreneur, Tom is a complete failure and comes close to having a nervous breakdown. Tom eventually begs Margaret to go back to the way things were, but his now-independent wife isn't interested.

The film was directed by Jean Yarbrough, a Hollywood veteran who had a long career. His biggest successes were in directing comedy teams like Abbott and Costello, The Bowery Boys, and horror/cult movies that are still fondly remembered to this day, such as The Devil Bat, King of the Zombies, She-Wolf of London, and House of Horrors.

The rest of the cast includes: Evalyn Knapp (Secretary), Henry Roquemore (Mr. Twitchell), 
Irving Mitchell (Mr. Bentley), Nella Walker (Mrs. Bentley),  Claudia Dell (Mrs. Rogers), Vivien Oakland (Mrs. Morton) and Cobina Wright (Mrs. Horton).

Johns-Manville presents a 1960’s color movie called "Modern Paving Techniques with Asbestos Fiber in Asphalt Mixes." The purpose of the film is to show how asphalt can be strengthened through different mixing techniques, including using asbestos -- a natural fibrous mineral that was later banned due to its terrible health effects. Asphalt presented significant risk to workers prior to the 1970s when asbestos was commonly added to asphalt used to construct roads. Asbestos added strength to asphalt which was especially important in colder climates where roads break down more easily. Workers who constructed those roads were put at risk of inhaling asbestos fibers. Today, workers and residents who live near these roads may be at risk as older, asbestos-containing asphalt roads are broken down for repaving.

The film opens with a car driving down the highway. Different roads are shown, 1:00. Traffic in the city, 1:20. Weathered roads that are cracked, 1:47. Potholes, 1:55.

It starts with the elaborate tying of the Obi for a young girl by a Japanese woman. The Obi is a sash for traditional Japanese dress, keikogi (uniforms for Japanese martial arts), and part of kimono outfits. At 2:23 a dancer's Obi is shown.  At 3:48 a female Japanese orchestra / Geisha girls is shown. At 4:49 a title card notes that the clothes shown are antique in design. At 5:32 feet are shown in Tabi,  traditional Japanese socks worn with thonged footwear dating back to the 15th century. At 7:07 traditional Japanese shoes or slippers are shown. At 7:11 chopsticks or Hashi are shown and classic Japanese table manners as girls consume rice. 

There is also an obi for men's kimonos. It is rather narrow, 10 centimetres (3.9 in) wide at most, but a woman's formal obi can be 30 centimetres (12 in) wide and more than 4 metres (13 ft) long. Nowadays, a woman's wide and decorative obi does not keep the kimono closed; this is done by different undersashes and ribbons worn underneath the obi. The obi itself often requires the use of stiffeners and ribbons for definition of shape and decoration.

There are many types of obi, most for women: wide obi made of brocade and narrower, simpler obi for everyday wear. The fanciest and most colourful obi are for young unmarried women.[1][2] The contemporary women's obi is a very conspicuous accessory, sometimes even more so than the kimono robe itself. A fine formal obi might cost more than the rest of the entire outfit.

Obi are categorised by their design, formality, material, and use. Informal obi are narrower and shorter.

This episode of "The Dodge Boys Remember" presents the story of marathoner John J. Kelley who in 1957 became America's top runner. John Joseph "Johnny" Kelley (December 24, 1930 – August 21, 2011) was the winner of the 1957 Boston Marathon and the marathon at the 1959 Pan American Games and a member of two United States Olympic Marathon teams. He also finished second in the Boston Marathon in 1958. He was often dubbed John "The Younger" to avoid confusion with Johnny "The Elder" Kelley, the winner of the 1935 and 1945 Boston Marathons. (The two men were not related.)  After his career as a runner ended, he went on to a successful career as high school running coach. At Fitch High School in Groton, Connecticut, Kelley coached Amby Burfoot, winner of the 1968 Boston Marathon, and Julia Chase, the first woman to successfully challenge the gender barrier of the Amateur Athletic Union. He coached American Power-lifting Champion and world record holder Christopher Annino. In addition to coaching, he found work over the years as a newspaper columnist, freelance writer, cab driver and Kelley's Pace running wear store co-owner.

The film was sponsored by Dodge and features ads for the 1964 Dodge Dart at 6:00 and 10:30, including a campaign to have Ford drivers trade in their cars for Dodge makes.

Opening: people in the grand stands watch and wait. A man wraps straps around himself and tugs on another strap. Wearing a helmet, the man stands on the back of a car and the car speeds towards a fire that was set, the man lowers himself in the flames at a fast speed and the title appears: THE HELL DRIVER FORMULA (:07-:39). Dodge Aries cars drive towards pallets, hit them and teeter on their sides on two wheels. Spins, skids, jumps, fast driving - all perpetuated by pro drivers. Drivers hold American flags. These men make up the world famous Hell Drivers. The best driver, stunt driver Peter Gross, skids in his car, exits, and waves.

Produced by the Santa Barbara Police Department circa the mid to late 1970s and directed by Jim Skidmore, this film begins with footage of police vehicles and a brief introduction to law enforcement traffic duties. At 01:07, a young girl on a bicycle is depicted getting ticketed by a police officer by the side of the road. The film goes on to explore the dangers of cyclists disobeying traffic laws and causing accidents, an issue that law enforcement viewed as underrated at the time. The narrator explains that while automobile accidents had remained relatively constant despite ever increasing numbers of vehicles on the roads, accidents caused by bicyclists had doubled, citing that ninety percent of bicycle riders were violating the law (04:06-04:40). An emphasis is placed on children under thirteen accounting for half of the injuries and deaths from such accidents. Starting at 04:54, a series of graphic images of children fatally injured in bicycle accidents is shown to underscore the tragic nature of such collisions (04:54-05:40). After warning families and the general public to take responsibility for ignoring bicycle safety, the film circles back to the young girl on the bicycle receiving a ticket. The safety film explains that law enforcement officers will need to continue enforcing what may seem like harsh penalties for the safety of all bicyclists, as well as teaching children and parents why these rules are important from the perspective of public safety (06:50-08:26).

This incredible black &amp; white educational/promotional film is about women in the U.S. Air Force and the traing &amp; jobs they can get while in the USAF. This was made in 1951, when women were not allowed to serve as pilots but were instead relegated to other jobs -- some of them quite technical in nature such as air traffic controller. (The roles women were assigned in this era was a bit of a reversal from WWII when the Women's Air Service Pilots or WASPs ferried planes around the world for the Air Corps.) 

Opening: United States Air Force presents WOMEN IN THE AIR FORCE (:08-:26). Through clouds, a man is writing at a desk amongst the clouds. A woman, an Angel appears and talks to the man. The Angel will be sent to earth to observe the Women in the Air Force (WAFs). Women from all over the USA awake in the barracks. One jumps up out of bed (:27-2:53). A woman wanders from her group in formation. Women march in uniform perfectly. A man teaches the women. Grooming is taught as well as etiquette. A woman does first aid to an injured person as part of an exercise. A man gets into a Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star jet with markings that read FT-033. The woman look at the plane. Two jets take off (4:47-4:48). Career Guidance counselors discuss choices with the women. Men board a plane which takes off. The Angel talks with the man about WAF jobs (4:54-6:20).

This color educational film is about a forest fire, how they start, and how to contain them. This was made by KRON-TV in 1966 and broadcast in late summer prior to the Labor Day holiday as a warning for people to pay attention to their acts in the forest.

Opening: Trees in a California Forest. A man lights a pipe and drops his lit match into dry leaves which slowly catch fire. The fire slowly builds (:11-1:25) Title:  FOREST FIRE (1:26-1:47). A small fire builds closely catching a few twigs after leaves. At night the flames move and overnight the fire is much larger and seemingly out of control. Daytime and trees are going up in flames as the flames are very high (1:48-3:19). A lookout on a firetower couldn't see the fire at first due to haze but then picked up on it and called the authorities. The rangers take the call and plot the coordinates of the fire. Workers doing other chores drop what they're doing when the alarm sounds and rush to the vehicles. Volunteer firemen rush from their station up a highway towards the flames. Up a dirt road. The tanker truck drives up a four mile dirt road (3:20-6:07). A smoke jumper - an airplane readies on the tarmac. Firefighter volunteers load into the plane and the plane takes off. They stare out of the open door and then one by one parachute into the fire zone. From the ground we see parachutes open as they men pull the ripcords. The men land on the ground and start towards the fire. The airplane flies by the fire. High flames are in the brush and blazing fast. The men from the trucks carry shovels and hoes. They start picking into the dirt at the fire line. A man uses a radio at the ranger station, rangers discuss (6:08-8:34). The plane flies by dropping fire retardant that contains phosphate fertilizer, which helps to slow and cool down the fire. The firemen go...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7e4032a7-822b-449b-80e5-81ff29026b12/ef0cf04f-c3c6-447f-b402-c82520b4d1f5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gAdGTV7VCKf1BfQjC3j4ho</video:player_loc><video:duration>1543</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T10:19:53.166Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dp6sPWMfwnmBnijVR29Hte</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e9bce467-0e99-4a35-b5fc-b22df4c5850f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THIS IS CHINA " 1937 DOCUMENTARY FILM  ABOUT JAPANESE INVASION OF CHINA YANGTZE VALLEY XD13534</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This color educational/training film is part 10 of a series about word processing. This was made in 1975, at a time when office computers were not yet inexpensive enough to be widely available. A series of smart typewriters, some of which had computer processors connected to them, emerged to displace the traditional office typewriter. These "word processors" were threatening to some, and intriguing to others. This film attempts to persuade the viewer that the future presented by word processors is attainable and bright.

This color educational film is about the Schlieren system to detect optical imperfections and for aerodynamic testing of airflow. This optical system detects changes within a test area medium (air) and records the changes in the form of an image on a screen. The image is formed by refraction and scattering from what is introduced into the test area, which are areas of varying refractive index. This film was made in 1958. 

Schlieren (from German; singular "Schliere", meaning "streak") are optical inhomogeneities in transparent material not necessarily visible to the human eye. Schlieren physics developed out of the need to produce high-quality lenses devoid of these inhomogeneities. These inhomogeneities are localized differences in optical path length that cause light deviation. This light deviation can produce localized brightening, darkening, or even color changes in an image, depending on which way the ray deviates. Schlieren flow visualization is based on the deflection of light by a refractive index gradient The index gradient is directly related to flow density gradient. The deflected light is compared to undeflected light at a viewing screen. The undisturbed light is partially blocked by a knife edge. The light that is deflected toward or away from the knife edge produces a shadow pattern depending upon whether it was previously blocked or unblocked. This shadow pattern is a light-intensity representation of the expansions (low density regions) and compressions (high density regions) which characterize the flow. 

Opening: exterior shot of the Illinois State Museum, Springfield, IL. Titles: "Schlieren A Shell Film" (:06-1:09). Parallel wires. Glass is waved in front of the wires.

This short film from 1972 profiles Deinhard, makers of fine wine including Reisling, since 1794. At :20 Koblenz (spelled Coblenz before 1926) is shown. Koblenz is a German city situated on both banks of the Rhine where it is joined by the Moselle. At :42 the Deinhard offices and museum are shown along with historical artifacts. At 1:28, a wine cellar is shown containing many barrels of wine. At 2:26 aging racks are seen with thousands of bottles of wine.  At 3:00, vineyards are shown in Germany. These are very steep and some of the most northerly in the world (in this era). At 3:45 wine grapes are shown ripening in the vineyard. At 4:05 the Bernkasteler Doctor is shown. Although only 8.1 acres in size, it’s place in the wine world is legendarily grand.  In the 13th century, the Archbishop of Trier was in this area of the Mosel Valley when he became deathly ill.  After countless cures didn’t work, he was poured Riesling from a humble flask from this vineyard and was cured.  From then on, it became known as “The Doctor”.  Today, it is the most expensive agricultural land in all of Germany.

At 4:44 caretakers work in the Bernkasteler Doctor and grapes are harvested. At 5:18 other Deinhard vineyards are shown along the Moselle and Rhein. At 5:35, the highly advanced bottling plant for the company is shown producing sparkling wine.  It is located in Blasheim (sp?)  At 6:26 some of the company's spirit labels are shown.

Released in 1955 by Louis de Rochemont, this newsreel style educational film is part of a documentary series. It was directed by Peter Hopkinson and John Halas. Hopkinson won an award from the Overseas Press Club for "Best Reporting from Abroad on Foreign Affairs" for this film. It was made as the old order was in retreat and Nasser had taken over as Prime Minister.The film begins with a quote about the Suez Canal followed by a close shot of Lockheed Constellation airplanes at 00:40 as the narrator begins to explain how nations are connected. The narration then transitions from discussing the United States airways to maritime fleets, emphasizing the fact that over ninety-nine percent of all international cargo is carried via waterway (01:05-01:55). At 01:57, a discussion of land barriers prior to the 19th century begins. The Isthmus of Suez in Egypt and Panama created these obstacles of land masses making trade routes extremely long, forcing  traders to go around Africa and South America with an especially lengthy trip around the Cape of Good Hope. As trade and export across the globe expanded, a link between the Red Sea and Mediterranean was needed to shorten trade routes (02:06-03:53). Dating back to 2,000 B.C. from the Temple of Karnak in Egypt, the search for a passage through such a land barrier was already underway, evidenced by stone reliefs depicting pharaohs and the Nile River eventually connected to the Red Sea under Ptolemy II before being forgotten centuries later (04:06-06:03). In 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Egypt to construct a new canal, failing but leaving his engineer Lapeer’s work to be helpful for future canal endeavors. Animated and pictorial footage continues to illustrate that many further attempts were made to connect these waterways, including attempts by such figures as Ferdinand de Lesseps...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ff05d488-3dd7-4fcf-98e7-a9d7dc1b9427/5c1eb12b-32c1-48b7-9d0e-5911ccc293dc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xuuJpv3MkcFACvNgKFEnGB</video:player_loc><video:duration>1153</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T10:35:51.847Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/egTPAg5PqCipWXsMA4pPp4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dba90e40-5d3f-4153-aeb9-e0a475c27cf7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1973 CHRYSLER MOTORS FILM  DODGE MONACO &amp; PLYMOUTH FURY VS.

Austria was annexed into the German Third Reich on 12 March 1938. There had been several years of pressure by supporters in both Austria and Germany (by both Nazis and non-Nazis) for the "Heim ins Reich" movement. Earlier, Nazi Germany had provided support for the Austrian National Socialist Party (Austrian Nazi Party) in its bid to seize power from Austria's Fatherland Front government.

Under considerable pressure from both Austrian and German Nazis, Austria's Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg decided to hold a referendum to provide a popular vote on the issue, expecting Austria to vote in favour of maintaining its autonomy, but before this could take place there was a well-planned coup d'état by the Austrian Nazi Party, which seized control of Austria's state institutions in Vienna on 11 March 1938. The leaders of the coup then cancelled the referendum.

They transferred power to Germany, and Wehrmacht troops entered Austria to enforce the Anschluss. The Nazis held a plebiscite within the following month, asking the people to ratify the fait accompli, and claimed that 99.7561% of the votes cast were in favor.

Although the Allies were committed to upholding the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and that of St. Germain, which specifically prohibited the union of Austria and the German state, their reaction was only verbal and moderate. No military confrontation took place, and even the strongest voices against the annexation, particularly Fascist Italy, France, and Britain (the "Stresa Front") remained at peace.

The Anschluss was among the first major steps of Adolf Hitler's creation of a Greater German Reich which was to include all ethnic Germans and all the lands and territories which the German Empire had lost after the First World War. Although Austria had never been a part of 20th-century Germany (the unification of Germany of the mid to la...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0894e337-fcf6-4a2c-814e-dc9602e8b804/d41146da-3810-48cc-909a-a67a73fca315-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/24sNxtDmcaX1baHQM67SVs</video:player_loc><video:duration>590</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T10:39:06.190Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7FTFFm9EgTiN35TkcpVAkU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b2bb5743-9ddd-4b27-be61-96998408670b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" AN INDIAN DURBAR " 1926 COURT OF SIR HARI SINGH  MAHARAJA OF KASHMIR (SILENT FILM)    XD10654a</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Images of Life begins with footage of a variety of daily activities, from cooking to working and tending to animals, carried out by humans across the globe (00:20-01:50). Produced in 1977 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the United States Agency for International Development, the film was written and directed by Gene Starbecker in collaboration with Hearst Metrotone Productions. The informational film was one of three films and part of a larger space age series intended to show developing nations how new technologies could help improve living conditions globally. The narrator emphasizes that all people have the same basic needs and are subject to the circumstances and locations in which they were born. Lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water are resources for irrigation, drinking, and hydroelectricity (03:15-03:30). The film examines how decision-makers must use data to determine the best use of the environment's resources. At 04:03 we see overhead shots of land within a rain belt that has had extensive tree removal. The narrator emphasizes the importance of national planners using tools to determine the effects of decisions made regarding natural resources. Space technology offers a powerful tool to measure such effects on a grand scale. A view of earth from outer space is shown at 04:44. Earth Resources Satellite Technology, or Landsat, was developed and launched in 1972 by NASA to monitor the earth's landmasses. A graphic visual shows the unmanned space satellite circling the earth from pole to pole, scanning the surface of the planet and taking fourteen images each day. Data from the satellite is transmitted to ground stations as it scans each section of the earth to form a complete data set (05:00-06:25). Canada, Brazil, and Italy also operate their own Landsats.

This color promotional film is brought to you by Packard and was made in 1956. It deals with Torsion bar suspensions on automobiles and shows the Packard Clipper, Packard Patrician, and Packard Carribean models. 

Opening titles: WIth the compliments of your Packard dealer, Packard presents THE SAFE ROAD AHEAD (:20-42). Cars race on a track. Torsion bar suspension is discussed. One of the inventors talks with a couple about it. Old cars are shown and what was wrong with them is mentioned (i.e. Packard Model T 1902, Packard circa 1905) What is the true price for comfort? Photo of the 1932 Packard Light 8 Coupe (:43-4:45). Old highway footage. Problems of packing the trunk and having too many people, the Packard Clipper is pitching up and alignment is off. Packard Clipper models are driving and weight shifting is discussed and shown (4:45-6:27). Highway footage. Cars drive along. An animated car is shown dealing with bumps. How the torsion bar suspension figures into this (6:28-8:01). A scale model is shown with the torsion bar suspension and explained. A torsion bar suspension, also known as a torsion spring suspension, is any vehicle suspension that uses a torsion bar as its main weight-bearing spring. One end of a long metal bar is attached firmly to the vehicle chassis; the opposite end terminates in a lever, the torsion key, mounted perpendicular to the bar, that is attached to a suspension arm, a spindle, or the axle. Vertical motion of the wheel causes the bar to twist around its axis and is resisted by the bar's torsion resistance (8:02-10:12). Packard Proving Grounds sign. Some Packard Patricians (looks like a 1956 model) are shown using the torsion bar suspension in different scenarios. The main advantages of a torsion bar suspension are a soft ride due to elasticity of the bar, durability, easy a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2a1b5f04-8f66-4c72-9f45-8f09cbec2a7f/76814135-0c08-4ee8-9b99-8a38d334d80f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6czg1dH5erjRddGK7z4jsc</video:player_loc><video:duration>1293</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T10:49:56.957Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sbi26zFujFBrgywjzmtfTZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a90976de-b73a-4fb3-8fdf-9b72f21c3498.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"STEEL RIDE" STEEL, PEECH AND TOZER STEELWORKS PROMOTIONAL FILM  YORKSHIRE ENGLAND  98714</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

“Steel Ride” was produced by Wallace Productions Ltd in the 1960s. It is a promotional film about the Steel, Peech and Tozer steelworks in Yorkshire, England, which created wheels, axles, springs, and tires for locomotives. Steel, Peech and Tozer was a branch of United Steel Companies Ltd. 

The film opens with a montage of trains passing in front of the camera, and then an external shot of the steelworks and its chimneys (0:53). Viewers see the interior of a melting shop, lined with furnaces as mobile chargers traverse the floor with loads of scraps to be reduced to molten steel. A charger puts a load into one of the furnaces and the fire ignites (1:13). A steelman wears protective glasses and gazes into a furnace as it shines brilliantly (1:36). Molten steel flows into a ladle, and the overflow slag flows into two separate ladles below. The ladle is carried to the teeming stage where molds are prepared (2:53). A steelman releases a lever and the molten steel flows into a mold. Steel runs through channels to the base of the molds, filling them upward.

A steelman creates equally spaced dividing lines on an ingot, then a magnet crane carries it to the breaker. The 15 inch diameter ingots are broken into precise blocks. The blocks roll off the breaker to feed the wheel and tire mills (5:17), and are pushed through a continuous furnace to be heated for forging. At the other end of the furnace, a charger grips a block and removes it (5:39). The charger removes mill scale that has formed on the surface. 

A steelman works along the anvils, as a tire is taken away and a new block is placed in position under the ram of the forging press (6:28). The press squeezes the block, and excess scale is loosened and blown off by compressed air. The hole for the axle is made by pressing a punch through the wheel (7:17).

This color educational/training film is about the importance of servicing your car's cooling system. There is no copyright at the beginning or end of the film so the date of the production remains 1954 or 1955 as the film was produced by the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation and In 1954, Olin Corporation merged with Mathieson Chemical Corporation.

A temperature gauge goes up until it explodes cartoonishly into the opening title: The Importance of Cooling System Service (:09-:52). A automotive employee collects money for gas and then gets ready for class, he's taking a class on what goes on under a car's hood (:53-2:08). Class time. Tonight's topic: the cooling system. Our teacher explains what goes on in the cooling system. He shows what happens with corrosion. He shows a badly corroded cooling system to the class. A water distribution tube is damaged (2:09-5:20). Properly servicing cooling systems can save drivers money. He gives stats from 1953. A corrosion inhibitor is required, best twice a year, spring and fall. A discussion on anti-freeze. Leaving it in for more than 1 season is dangerous and can corrode. He gives a demonstration (5:21-9:40). A new inhibitor into the antifreeze doesn't work either, just clean it out. Convincing your customer can be done by showing an old corroded parts. Summer driving corrodes more than winter driving. A summer car should not have anti-freeze in it as it slows the octane of the gas down (9:41-11:53). Cost is discussed with why you should clean your cooling systems. He gives advice from the Society of Automotive Engineers on cleaning the anti-freeze. AAA has their advice as well as does the National Bureau of Standards (11:54-13:46). To build a good business you must cultivate customers who know you have their interests at heart.

Distributed by Encyclopedia Britannica Educational Corporation, this 1972 film opens with footage of aspects of the Venezuelan oil industry including oil rigs, various parts of the South American landscape, and natural wildlife including snakes and native flowers. At 01:05, a map of the country is shown, followed by some narrated history of Venezuela's colonial roots and crop-growing origins. Merida, Barquisimeto, Valencia, and Caracas are major Venezuelan cities shown on the map, followed by a brief narration of primitive agricultural methods. The country's Great plains, or Llanos, are described from 02:35 as vast, infertile lands bordering the Orinoco River at their edges. The Orinoco River is one of the longest rivers in South America and floods often. Guayana, the jungle region nearby containing the highest waterfall on earth - Angel Falls - was uninhabited and mostly unused before an oil well blew out for a week at nearby Lake Maracaibo on December 14, 1922, and changed the region forever (04:02-04:47). Venezuelan workers drill and service the wells and barges for North American owned oil companies around the clock (04:50-05:30). One such worker, Juan Ramirez, is profiled in the film along with his large family. Footage of Juan at work on the oil barge, as well as his children and his comfortable, nicely built home are depicted, emphasizing the middle-class life his oil wages afford him (05:09-06:48). At 06:51, schools and other staples of Venezuelan life are shows to highlight their similarities to U.S. amenities. The narrator describes the way oil profits have helped Venezuela develop with wealth benefitting the entire country, especially notable in the capital city of Caracas (07:15-08:00). At 08:02, Government employee Raul Garcia is depicted and described as a thoughtful member of society consid...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/639886d8-69c9-423b-93c9-177e45618672/fb840525-596b-44e3-937d-5840ba53f165-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dijcQTDwqZ58BR1ZwtdcfJ</video:player_loc><video:duration>978</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T10:58:40.099Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3SnQBzHiuk1YDCZYoWtMYh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e88af926-ddbd-4b60-9eb2-cdd1e7a16a5b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" INDIA "  1940 THAW TRANS-ASIA EXPEDITION FILM   GENERAL MOTORS  LAWRENCE COPLEY THAW 17854</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This 1940 color film production was compiled with footage from the experiences of Lawrence Copley Thaw and his wife, Margaret Thaw, during the wealthy couple’s Trans-Asia expedition and travels through India. Lawrence Thaw earned fame for his exploits with Margaret when both were correspondents for National Geographic. They undertook an expedition in 1938 across central Africa, which became a feature in the magazine. As a sequel, they decided to retrace the Great Silk Route, the ancient commercial land link that Marco Polo once plied from today’s Beirut, across Mesopotamia and the Hindu Kush, then through the Khyber Pass into India.

An all-GM fleet was selected for the 20,000-mile journey, much of it made over unpaved roads and tracks that were little more than simple trails. Leading the way was the GMC-towed land yacht, urged on by the tractor’s 308.2-cu.in. straight-six. A pair of 1939 Chevrolet flatbeds were assigned to carry some 10 tons of provisions, photo and camping gear.

The travelogue of the journey is narrated by Vincent Pelletier with music by Samuel Benavie. General Motors is acknowledged by the filmmaker as the designer and builder of the pair’s motor transportation. In the introduction, many national departments within India are thanked for their assistance in giving American viewers a rare chance to see ceremonial life in India. At 01:45, a red map of India coupled with the blue Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal bordering below and on either side of the country is shown.

This film "This is HAM Radio" is produced and directed by award-winning Hollywood producer and amateur radio legend Dave Bell in cooperation with the American Radio Relay League circa 1970. Intended to inspire kids to become interested in amateur radio, this production targeted schools and encouraged teenagers to take up ham radio as a hobby. Various shots of radio usage by people in cars and homes play out with interwoven footage of two youths unraveling and passing wire through a window and assembling it to a radio while upbeat music plays in the background (00:07-01:43). Starting around 01:30, we hear a station identifier, WB6KPN, called out by numerous radio operators. At 01:48 we are introduced to young U.S. amateur radio licensee Matt, as well as Mexican amateur radio licensee Enrique. The Federal Communications Commission regulates radio hobbyists like Matt in the United States. Matt goes on to explain that he and his friends are connected via their ham radio hobby and introduces the reasons he got started (02:26-03:00). He breaks down some of the fundamentals of his amateur radio hobby, including how all contacts (QSOs) and conversations are carried on by Morse code when a hobbyist first gets on the air. The film shows Matt and his radio club friends meeting up outside to test their portable equipment for emergency conditions, as well as to improve operating skills and build their own equipment to further increase their knowledge and skill (03:35-04:15). Matt mentions that the FCC makes it easy for beginners to get on the air. He goes on to describe the classes he and his fellow amateur radio enthusiasts attend in order to pass tests to receive the highest class license available: the Amateur Extra (04:25-04:42). Footage shows Matt’s West Valley Amateur Radio Club in action as they operate.

(EB Films). This 1949 film is a collaboration with Harold S. Kemp of Harvard University and is educational and observational in nature. The production opens at 0:31 with a pleasant narration and footage of English school children participating in recreational activities outside a schoolhouse in the summer.

After-school activities are described for all ages of English youth, emphasizing sports and play time (1:50-2:38). The camera pans across a mid-level aerial view of York, an old city in the north of England (3:31-3:46). At 3:47, the narrator describes the Towers of York Minster while the camera stops to focus on a shot of the tower buildings. An impressive example of Medieval architectural prowess, the set of towers was constructed in the 15th century. At 4:12 we are introduced to a typical English family called the Watkins, with the film showing the work and home life of each member. An example of characteristic British food is presented on the Watkins family dinner table (5:12-5:15).

It likely dates to about 1964. The film follows Salvino from Seattle to Alaska, where he shoots a bear and has its pelt as a trophy. At 3:46 Salvino flies north to Kotzebue, Alaska by the Arctic Ocean. At 4:52 the Alaskan Airlines DC-6 carrying Salvino arrives at the airport. It is February and the temperature is well below zero. At 5:49 are shots of the Arctic Inn and post office in Kotzebue. At 6:13, local guide Nelson Walker (?). At 6:25, an Eskimo child plays with a hula hoop. At 6:30, Salvino examines sled dogs for his team. At 7:02 Pat and his Eskimo guide fish on a frozen lake, using an ice ax. At 7:40 they catch an arctic Sheefish. At 9:00 are shots of native craftspeople at work in Kotzebue, including making a sealskin jacket. At 9:30 ceremonial masks are carved from a whale jawbone. At 10:10, walrus ivory is shown being carved. At 10:30, Pat and his guides, John Swiss and Nelson Walker, discuss where to go hunting, 300 miles to the west towards Russia. At 11:26 the team preps (loading warm oil into the engine) and then boards a small Piper Super Cub airplane  tail # N345JS and they fly towards the ice pack. At 12:50, a polar bear is spotted. At 14:33 a group of three males is spotted so the group lands on the ice pack. At 15:30 the group looks for bear tracks and begins tracking their prey. At 16:28, Pat shoots a bear at fairly close range. At 16:50, Pat approaches the bear to verify the kill. At 17:10 the hunter is congratulated for his aim. The group works quickly to skin the bear and get off the ice, since it's very dangerous to be trapped on the ice in darkness. At 17:53, in 30-degree below zero weather, the airplane engine is successfully restarted. At 19:00 the hunting party returns to base and at 19:08 an Eskimo woman begins working on the hide, removing the fat and then clean...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1f55c49d-ef8b-4b3c-802e-e5e51938b994/7934170a-6f45-4f45-836c-24ed6e48eb35-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4SqB7ej1sXd6ikDSSKbQk7</video:player_loc><video:duration>1464</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T11:13:18.564Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eQS97sWGES62jttixVBLWK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/44d3dd47-5ee1-458a-9f9f-8521ab7a843c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1954 NUTRILITE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT PROMOTIONAL FILM   AMWAY MULTI LEVEL MARKETING XD12864</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This black &amp; white educational film is called INTRODUCTION TO FLYING. It appears to have been made by the US Airforce as an opening to a flying lesson for new cadets. There is no copyright at the beginning or end of the film so the date of the production remains unclear although it is either in the late 1930s or early 1940s. 

Titles: Official training film, War Department. A product of the first motion picture unit, Army Air Forces (:10-:30). Opening title: INTRODUCTION TO FLYING (:31-:38). A cadet speaks to the viewer. He says if you need to throw up, then throw up. 
(:39-1:35). A plane is shown. The instructor and student are shown. The student looks at the dashboard of the Stearman training biplane (1:36-2:12). Our narrator, the cadet, continues on. The B-17 bomber looks like it needs a big man to fly it, but a small Major mastered this plane (2:13-3:01). Keep the plane straight and level. Student tries to maintain as Instructor doesn't do much. Long shots of a small plane flying (3:02-4:31). Being safe is a priority. Don't lean against a plane, even if no one is in it - a mechanic might be working on it from a point you cannot see and it can be dangerous or even fatal. Common sense on the ground is the same in the air (4:32-5:54). Headgear should be comfortable not tight causing you a headache or too loose (5:55-6:48). Sit straight and center. Go slow while taxiing down the runway. A huge lesson is to teach yourself. Pay attention and learn by watching. Sit in a plane and get a feel for it (6:49-8:35). Our narrator wraps it up.

Our narrator informs us that if you add up the populations of Mobile, Kansas City, Toronto, Miami and Des Moines that you will equal the amount of people hurt in car accidents in 12 months. 40,000 are killed every year and rising. Many factors cause this. 9 out of 10 accidents are driver error. If we want to curtail this - there is one thing that can help: the seat belt (3:08-4:56). Dick Van Dyke tells us seat belts save lives. Cars move around the LA freeway and in Hollywood. We see Dick drive. Most people are killed in accidents driving less than 40mph and close to home. Seat belts keep you safe and aren't constricting. Lots of driving around Los Angeles streets. Dick explains why we need them and why it isn't 'sissy' to wear them (4:57-7:33). Dick continues to drive. He explains why seat belts must be used. He explains how he was driving about 50mph and hit a concrete wall near UCLA. Luckily he survived even though the car flipped - the seat belt saved him (7:34-9:26).

They are very similar to human babies (1:18-3:50). They are going to do a  test with 2 different kinds of mothers, one is a wire mother, the other is cloth mother. Both have bottles. The first monkey goes to the cloth monkey. When you remove the bottle, the monkey will bounce between the two due to comfort and food and comfort vs food (3:51-8:01). The monkey will be introduced to a diabolical looking apparatus. When he is scared he runs to the cloth mother and after hugging her for a moment, he becomes less fearful and he yells at the apparatus (8:02-9:44). They place the monkey into a strange room without his mother. They then add a wire mother, the monkey still avoids the wire. When a cloth mother is added, the monkey goes right to her. He will then investigate if his cloth mother is around. They continue and add a cloth mother to a room with a strange looking creature. The monkey rushes to the cloth mother (9:45-13:31).

The United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Social Security Administration presented this film as an informational viewing opportunity for Americans, as new legislation affected the Social Security Administration for the first time in decades beginning around 1963. A multi-colored map of the nation appears with the SSA's official title (00:05-00:36). The public service announcement is the second episode in a weekly series that dates between 1965 and 1967. This was a transitional period in which the Social Security Administration underwent major changes. At the same time, initiatives by the government emphasized improving information access for the public. The SSA's Information Officer during this time period, Roy L. Swift, is introduced as host at 00:40 and presents an introduction to the rest of the film's cultural icons and anecdotes. Swift participated in much of the time's public outreach to inform every American of the ways in which he or she would be affected by Social Security. The film is part of a larger project undertaken by President Johnson to improve mass communication and public information during his time in the White House. President Johnson spoke at the annual Social Security Administration Awards Program in Baltimore, Maryland and attended many other publicity events to encourage participation and awareness of the organization's newest modifications and additions. The film emphasizes the benefits and importance of social security for each individual in the nation. Roy L. Swift was also involved in the messaging and outreach surrounding the Medicare aspect of social security. The film incorporates cultural zeitgeists in its messaging, citing New Orleans and Bourbon Street's jazz influencers (2:03-12:50). The narrator, Swift, again links SSA benefits to Jazz by way of th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7030f95a-e4a4-421c-ae37-8b3d00f85c75/6511aaa0-89d0-435e-b3aa-0b03002ce206-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eRwosiqfziSSxYARkAumoa</video:player_loc><video:duration>878</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T12:17:13.211Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4d9uoty4gnBrFjn2b8Rsk3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/78b79494-475e-4a92-b587-80aeb1bacb97.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE STORY OF MODERN AIRLINE TRANSPORTATION" 1930 AMERICAN AIRWAYS PROMO FILM  AIRLINES  XD10544c</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Produced by Coronet Instructional Films, this reel was most likely released in the late 1960s along with other Coronet films covering agricultural China dated from 1955 to 1969. As the narrator emphasizes the huge size of the country, the film settles upon a brightly colored yet simple map of Asia at 01:29. Describing how large the nation's land mass is within the borders of Asia, our narrator guide points out the fact that China takes up about one fourth of the continent. Starting from 02:00 in the film, the borders of the country are mentioned and highlighted on the map, as well as major cities like Peking and Manchuria - relative to major U.S. cities for viewers' reference. Much like the United States, China's main cities lie on the Eastern coast, as the film points out. These key cities are marked on the pink and blue map shown in the film and include Mukden, Shanghai, Nanking, Foochow, and Canton (2:10-2:15). Footage of busy urban streets filled with Chinese people working, shopping, and using transportation are intermingled with other, more detailed maps pinpointing important areas of the country as the narrator describes their significance based on land area and specific resources driving the population of such regions (2:22-3:08). The film goes on to touch upon the southern part of the country and its main labor activity - farming. South China's fertile soil, landscape, and good climate for growing major exportable crops like rice is discussed. As the film alternates between shots of the map of China - filled with key landscape details - and shots of rivers, farm lands, and the inhabitants of the areas, the viewer is given a broad and comprehensive sense of both Chinese geography and the work and trades of China's people (3:12-10:30). Bamboo shoots on their way to be processed float in a river while ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6224492a-e5a2-47fe-a722-8020eb58db94/ba49c549-1ae4-46b0-a526-afc1145ebbd5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/d7UbDxKtRURmJdP9nGxQ9d</video:player_loc><video:duration>839</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T12:29:56.554Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bpUjtUWtNESQu5UQN3gTaJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/70e70424-1a0c-44c4-9a67-3385973716ef.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD SAN FRANCISCO &amp; NORTHERN CALIFORNIA PROMO FILM  "GOLDEN GATE EMPIRE" MD10024</video:title><video:description>This is a late 1950’s, early 1960s era color film about the wonders of California.

This late 1940s / early 1950s film was produced by Caravel Films, Inc. as part of an effort to create training materials for salesmen within the automobile and oil industry. In black and white, the film opens with a shot of a Mobilgas Socony-Vacuum banner before panning to a pair of men having a conversation (0:08-0:20). The first man in uniform appears to be cheerfully describing the Mobilgas brand product to a businessman at 0:21 and the introductory words "Let's Sell" is shown as the camera zooms in to a confident Mobilgas representative (0:28). Mobilgas was previously known as a part of the Socony-Vacuum Oil Company. The oil company was one of several that had major success starting in the 1940s. The instructional film describes the important factors that affect the retail business fluctuations in buyer and seller markets, especially before and after wartime periods (0:45-1:00). This film highlights the idea that a post-war economy had drastically changed over the decades, and the narrator emphasizes actively selling to consumers, rather than passively expecting business to thrive without any effort from salesmen in the process. Many examples of sales interactions are shown throughout the film to illustrate missed sales opportunities due to lack of effort, knowledge, or motivation from retail professionals. The film is a "how-to" guide for auto industry professionals and other general retail salesmen for Mobilgas to learn techniques for upselling and predicting customer needs.          

Vacuum Oil Company was an American oil company known for its Gargoyle 600-W Steam Cylinder Oil.

This black &amp; white promotional film is about THE RCA VICTOR SYSTEM. There is no copyright at the beginning or end of the film so the date of the production appears to be 1949 based on the RCA Victor division creating 45s as well as all of the products featured.

Host begins explaining that this is about the new RCA VICTOR SYSTEM. A man asks about the 7" size and 45 speed. A salesman explains how and why about the new records. RCA engineers had to figure out how to make the players more efficient and trouble free and the records distortion free and smaller (:18-1:28). Engineers sit and think. A diagram is shown breaking down tone distortion. 45rpm were created to prevent distortion. When a customer gets what he wants, he'll buy. Smaller takes up less space. Standard book cases will hold the smaller 45s. One foot holds 18 albums or 150 45s!  12 inch records are breakable and 45s are not. 12 inch albums take up much more space and weight (1:29-4:59). 45s are shown up close and shown why they are good. The new RCA Victor Record Changer is now discussed and shown. You can put 8 or 10 and it will drop them down one by one.

“Crash and Live” is a sort of public service announcement meets public relations presentation about the improvements in automobile safety in the mid 1950s. Colonel John Paul Stapp was a physician in the Air Force who was interested in how G-force effects interacted with the human body. He believed that human bodies could withstand more than the accepted limit in the 1940s of 18 G’s. This black and white film reel shows an interview with Colonel Stapp of Holloman Air Development Center in New Mexico (01:55), along with some of the human factors tests conducted by the colonel and other expirementers in the auto and air industries. The U.S. Air Force officer and flight surgeon is known for his research on the effects of acceleration and deceleration forces, even personally testing the results of withstanding four tons of force with himself strapped to a rocket sled that he built to accelerate down a track at hundreds of miles an hour. While using crash tests with stunt dummies was the norm during the time in speed experiments as high-stakes as the one Stapp performed, the scientist and record-breaker attempted the feat in-person. At 3:07, John Moore, the Director of Automobile Crash Injury Research of Cornell University Medical College is shown speaking on behalf of Cornell’s research team regarding the findings of the institute. The film introduces other auto industry speakers who apply Stapp’s statistical findings to automobile crash tests and announce improvements to be made upon problematic features of vehicles like window and mirror locations (3:04-12:01). Alex L. Haynes of the Ford Motor Company presents related findings and points to steps his company will take to reduce injuries in automobile crashes (4:07-11:00). The reel includes these press briefings in an effort to show safety measures being take...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b2495355-b839-43af-9a28-7bc2a3ffcbab/0ca854e6-b388-41f5-869a-e4348c4514f7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/o1UnxiQtuyH5mPFtZnsjdK</video:player_loc><video:duration>1363</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T13:06:16.928Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hFzFfSmHpkxvcypwgcn791</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/edae1fbf-1352-463e-b984-28e0616d1385.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1968 ANTI VIETNAM WAR PROTESTS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY  69254</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Directed by Arne Sucksdorff, "The Wind from the West" is a 1942 short drama documentary about the life of a Sami family in the northernmost part of Sweden, Lappland.  In the film the young boy Nilas is awakened from boredom in his school classroom by a voice. In a dream-like reverie, he performs a traditional test of manhood -- climbing a mountain to retrieve reindeer bones near an eagle's nest. The Wind from the West encourages him on his journey and serves as the film's narrator until -- Nilas is awoken from his dream by his teacher.  

This American / English language print is not complete but gives a good idea of the content of the film. "The Wind from the West" was one of Sucksdorff's earliest films after 1941's En sommarsaga, and 1940's August Rhapsody. 

Sucksdorff (3 February 1917 – 4 May 2001) was a Swedish film director, considered one of cinema's greatest documentary filmmakers. He was particularly celebrated for his visually poetic and scenic nature documentaries. His works include Pojken i trädet (The Boy in the Tree) and the Academy Award-winning Människor i Stad (Symphony of a City).

One of the most powerful, emotion-packed documentaries to emerge from World War II, "Diary of a Sergeant" profiles Canadian-born, Boston-raised paratroop sergeant Harold Russel. On June 6, 1944 Russell lost both hands in a demolition accident. He later appeared in this Army Signal Corps documentary in which he acted out the various phases of the rehabilitation process of an amputee.  Director William Wyler saw the film while preparing "The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)" and cast Russell as the film's disabled returning veteran. For his performance in The Best Years of Our Lives, Russell won both the Academy Award as the year's Best Supporting Actor and a second, honorary Oscar "for bringing hope and courage to his fellow veterans." He is the only actor ever to win two Oscars for the same role.

The film gives a good luck at WWII era rehabilitation of the wounded and those who suffered disability. Over the course of the movie Russell moves from a hospital bed to rehabilitation facility, learning to write, swim and even play basketball with his prosthetics. At 14:50 a group of amputees dances with local dames. By September 6, 1944, Russell is allowed to go home on furlough. At 15:35 he boards a train, spots an attractive young woman, and in his internal monologue considers what it will take to restore his sense of pride about his appearance. At 19:00 Russell visits Boston University where the President personally lobbies him to attend. At 19:45 he prepares to go on a date. It turns out that he did ask the woman on the train out. At 20:49 he puts money in a jukebox and dances with his new sweetheart. The film ends with Major General Norman T. Kirk, Surgeon General of the Army, discussing Russell's situation and the Army's support for...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2dedfe15-ed4a-4838-8a63-706c32d5fc4e/726b91ea-3702-4267-8296-fc75c1b908c1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6EXegH9M25XPjwLso9FNFG</video:player_loc><video:duration>1445</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T13:37:32.518Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/e5wVdquXWntoWLMWwGZtq6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b2709e86-cdbe-46f6-8eb2-199e4078fec7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE GREAT GATTI "   EXPLORER COMMANDER ATTILIO GATTI SHOWS OFF HIS NEW YORK HOME 67284</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Broke after the financial disaster of his 7th African expedition, Gatti settled in the USA (1930). His (second) spouse Ellen accompagnied him from his 8th expedition on. They did the 10th expedition (in Belgian Congo, 1938-1940) and the 11th expedition ("To the Mountains of the Moon" i.e. the Rwenzori Mountains at the border of Uganda, 1947-1948) with a caravan of motor vehicles, including a fantastic motor home, the 9 ton "Jungle Yacht", especially build for their expeditions by International Harvester in Chicago.

Gatti became one of the first Europeans to see and capture the fabled okapi and the bongo, a brown lyre-horned antelope with white stripes. He was an enthusia...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/69e8d4cb-fb1a-4718-9614-a5f31d150069/0eb1cc14-65cf-4c35-89f5-4e98187bb0bc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/e5wVdquXWntoWLMWwGZtq6</video:player_loc><video:duration>826</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T13:39:29.398Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/b4h4WeukviCXxQtw1hXE5C</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/141e7f8b-d9c6-477a-8499-3dc17e6747f3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s FIRE DEPARTMENT TRAINING FILM  "HIGH RISE BUILDING PROBLEMS" SKYSCRAPER FIRES   99414</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

“Citrus-- the Golden Fruit” is a mid-20th century documentary about the production and sale of citrus grown in the western United States, made through cooperation with Sunkist Growers. The film is produced by John A. Haeseler, written by Frank Orme and narrated by Marvin Miller. The documentary begins by showing various citrus groves in the foothills of a mountain range (0:28-2:09), later identified as the Sierras, which borders Nevada in California’s San Joaquin Valley. Multiple camera shots and angles display oranges and blossoms on trees, as well as aerial footage overlooking whole groves of citrus. While the narrator then describes the two different types of western oranges, the film displays Valencia oranges clustered on a tree in summer (2:25), a farmer picking the Navel variety in winter (2:30), and white blossoms sharing the branch with Valencia oranges in spring (2:36). Both varieties are also held side-by-side to display their similarities and differences (2:53). From 3:11, the documentary reveals the growing process of oranges, starting with the heavy equipment that prepares the field. The land needs to be cleared and leveled with various machines, and then at 3:47 a ripper is shown digging into the ground to break it up and prepare it for planting. Farmers are seen later in nurseries for the young citrus plants (4:14) and display the process of budding (4:22-5:17) before the new trees are seen dug out of the nursery by a special machine (5:20-5:51) to be replanted in the groves individually by farmers (5:53-6:08). At 6:08, the film shows the irrigation system for a citrus grove, including the canal, the source of irrigation water (6:12); the pump taking the canal water into tanks (6:20); and underground pipes running water into outlets around the grove’s edges (6:29). To explain the heating ne...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/16043b02-cabb-4406-a96f-25340e216612/b2c934af-d0e3-4a48-844d-b60490825734-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3HFFUy8EqScBtfTCffGxMC</video:player_loc><video:duration>883</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T13:44:04.795Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/m3aJV9rdG59R8N6ht6k3YM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e00372eb-f0a4-4fc6-ac69-974e05bc9903.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1941 HISTORY OF YMCA PROMO FILM  "MEN OF TOMORROW"  JULIEN BRYAN w/ SEGREGATED YMCAs  XD10744</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Produced by Charles S. Strong with the help of K.O. Bjarnason and Gudni Thordarson and Charles T. Namur, Jr.,  "Wings and Wheels Over Iceland" is a travelogue film that dates to the mid-to-late 1950s. This version doesn't have a soundtrack, and the film might not have -- it could have been presented in person and featuring a voiceover by Strong himself. Charles Stanley Strong (November 29, 1906 – October 11, 1962) was a noted author, adventurer and explorer. 

The film begins with shots at New York Airport, also known as  Idlewild Airport, with tourists boarding what appears to be a DC-6 frlown by Loftledir the Icelandic Airlines. At 1:52 the gate for Icelandic Airlines is shown. At 2:15 the DC-4 named Hekla is shown with the pilot at the controls. At 3:08 the DC-4 takes off on its journey across the Atlantic. On the ground in Reykjavik, the plane has a new destination sign -- for Oslo, Noway. At 3:53 are shots of the Lief Erickson and Anarholl statues in Reykjavik and sweeping shots of the nation's capitol. At 5;14 fire engines drive out of the fire station. At 6:57 a map shows the path the filmmaker followed into the interior. Various sights shown include geysers (12:10) and rugged scenery. At 15:22 a glider is shown in operation. At 17;33 are more scenes in Reykjavik including the docks where fishermen are shown at work. A cruise on a fishing vessel called the Snaefell follows. At 23:17 what appears to be a military base or possibly a university is shown. At 24:4 a hotel is shown. At 28:59 a large waterfall is shown, most likely the Goðafoss. At 30:51 a farmer harvests wheat with a scythe.

This black and white promotional film, produced for Pontiac dealers by the Jam Handy Corporation, opens with a title card featuring the stylized profile emblem of Ottawa Chief Pontiac (Obwondiyag) (00:09). It introduces the 1956 Pontiac Strato-Streak V8 sedan (00:23) with a series of still shots, transitioning to show the car in motion (00:40) and the view through the windshield, with the driver’s face reflected in the rear-view mirror (00:47). There is a wide panning shot of a bi-level parking lot filled with cars (01:03). A Catalina Sedan is shown pulling into a parking space; the man driving gets out and opens the passenger door to let out a female rider while two children step out of the rear door (01:24). 

A series of demonstrations show the Strato-Streak’s improved horsepower and performance. Two men driving a Star Chief convertible coupe with a camera mounted on the hood pull to a stop on a test track (01:56). One of the men gets out of the car and adjusts the camera to point toward markings on the pavement, then returns to the passenger seat and takes out a notepad and pencil as the driver accelerates away (02:30). Musical tones play in concert with the pavement markings as the pass under the camera’s eye, providing “eye and ear proof of Pontiac’s singing power for lightning getaways” (02:41). A second iteration of this “two-way test” combines pavement markings and musical tones to illustrate the Pontiac’s acceleration as it passes a slower-moving truck, shown from behind (02:56).

Shots of a Catalina sedan on the open road follow (03:14). An overhead view of the hood dissolves to show the V-8 engine, seen from above and in profile as the Strato-Streak’s innovative features are enumerated: pressure-suction crank case ventilation, reverse-flow gusher-valve cooling, and quad-gallery full pressure l...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ed96cc4a-4242-4539-9c05-c6b432153fee/95e25afd-d35f-47a6-9ce1-897a0fcfadab-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vkCKeY9LrM5DVqrJMsGHeY</video:player_loc><video:duration>790</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T13:56:10.020Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/55DfoAttnammiT4vQefABF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5d3dcc7f-5e4c-4b09-a9c3-051d51b7dbb7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE CASE OF THE MISSING MAGNETS"  1960s INDUSTRIAL MANAGEMENT TRAINING FILM  14574</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This reel of film contains several films documenting the Mt. Lowe Railroad near Pasadena, California. The first, filmed by cameramen dispatched by Thomas A. Edison, is a silent film that shows a trip up Rubio Canyon aboard one of the trolley cars.   The second silent film, possibly a home movie from the 1920s, begins around 1:59. It starts at the base of the Mt. Lowe Incline Railway, a funicular that connected to the trolley system. At 2:18 one of the two funicular cars descends on the track. At 2:35 the trolley right of way is shown (the subject of the earlier Edison film). At 5:24 another silent film shows passengers boarding the funicular at 5:25 and ascending up the canyon. At 6:07 they board one of the Pacific Electric trolley cars. At 6:50 another film shows a view of the funicular roadbed.

This black &amp; white educational/propaganda film is about the research and development in new technology for making the USA safer against enemy aggressors. There is no copyright at the beginning or end of the film so the date of the production remains unclear but it is the late 1940s as World War 2 has passed.

Opening titles: Armed Forces Screen Report Issue Number 114 (:08-:27). Title: Research and development (:28-:35). Missiles fire, ships sail, our narrator gives information on WW2. The atomic bomb, radar, guided missiles like the V-2 were all great experiments that came to fruition. Newspaper headlines show war is everywhere and we as a nation want to make sure peace can occur. We are building a strong military and by doing experiments to insure an unapproachable security for the USA (:36-2:42). Research continues.

Opening titles: Net Science presents The Attack Patterns Of Sharks on Experiment, featuring Dr. Perry Gilbert of Cornell, professor of Zoology (:08-1:04). A large shark followed a trawler for a few days and then was finally caught. The contents of its stomach are on display. Sharks eat people as well. Gruesome case files are mentioned (1:05-3:05). Dr. Gilbert sits at his desk. He has been searching all over the world to study the attack patterns of sharks. There are about 250 species of sharks, 35 are dangerous to man. Dangerous sharks like warmer waters (3:06-4:30). A lot of sharks are off the coast of Bimini, 53 air miles east of Miami. Fishermen off the coast. Baited hooks are thrown into the ocean. After a few hours, the hooks that had food are empty, one remaining hook has a tiger shark on it. They maneuver the tiger shark into  retriever so it can be studied (4:31-7:12). A laboratory at the dock is going to look at the shark but they first have to remove the hook from the shark's mouth and not damage the shark or get bit. The shark starts to swim in a pen (7:13-8:40). Dr. Gilbert looks at a shark's brain. The shark smells its way to food. Back in Bimini, Dr. Gilbert performs a smell test for this shark to prove his theory. A sponge soaked with salt water vs a one soaked with juice is conducted and the shark circles and goes after the one with juice (8:41-12:07). An electrode test is to be conducted, first the shark must be put to sleep, the electrode is sutured into the shark while it's asleep. The charm is then placed back into water (12:08-14:18). Questions about a shark's eyes during an attack are discussed. Dr. Gilbert looks at sharks in the pen in Bimini.

Let’s Go Troop Camping is a very informative and pleasantly entertaining film made in 1951 by the Girl Scouts of the United States of America [Walter S. Stern, Director (35:20); Carol Hale, producer (28:11)]. The film presents ways in which Girl Scout activities in the 1950s built leadership, character, and maturity in young girls by teaching practical skills, teamwork, sharing, taking initiative, problem solving, independence, resolving minor conflicts, and companionship. The context of the film is a group of middle school girls preparing for their first camping trip.
The film opens with young girls waking for the day (00:44) and Mrs. Lawrence, the Troop Leader, making final preparations for the girls’ camping trip (1:30). As she prepares, she reminisces about how the idea for the trip came about (2:00). The idea for this first experience came from one of the girls after her brother loaned her a compass (2:07). When she showed her Troop Leaders how it worked (2:20), she suggested the Troop could take a mapping expedition, using the compass to make a map together. Then she showed it off to her patrol (2:31) and explained how to read it. When some of the girls in her patrol scoffed at the idea, the patrol leader called for order (2:44) with Mrs. Lawrence looking on. As Mrs. Lawrence approached to see what the disagreement was about, Betsey enthusiastically suggested to the patrol group: “Let’s go camping!” (2:52) As neither the girls nor Mrs. Lawrence knew anything about camping, they called a Court of Honor to discuss the idea (3:11). The Court of Honor approved the plan (3:40). Once approved, the leaders took stock of a number of materials and skills the troop would have to put in place to be fully prepared for this venture, and Betsey took notes from Mrs. Lawrence on the things that they would need to l...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dd372da9-3aa4-4579-a39a-7b487c2e9579/4ba8b98e-5e30-4931-adb3-fa6e2dc2dbe7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tjnaT1NK6WtjkbjFBmRyWV</video:player_loc><video:duration>1291</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T14:29:57.280Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jKGoBAAnujrva9eRKDcKQd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/28118078-6c9d-4522-92d0-e55225db5167.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"TOOLS OF TELEPHONY" 1956 WESTERN ELECTRIC TELEPHONE SYSTEM PROMO FILM   BELL SYSTEM 98694</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This color educational film is about the many Missions in the Southwestern United States . There is no copyright at the beginning or end of the film but research shows that this is an Arthur Barr Production circa 1967.

No titles and missions are shown on the screen. A monk introduces us to the missions of the southwest. One in particular is the Mission in San Juan Capistrano, Santa Barbara and another is San Xavier. (:06-1:14). Missions remind us of a time when Spain ruled northern Mexico &amp; the southwestern USA. Missions were in Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. Jesuit missionary Father Kino was one of the early Spanish explorers of the American Southwest. He founded over 25 missions in this new, hot, dry land. Information on others who founded missions in the USA (1:15-4:01). Padres selected places with fertile soil and Indians who would assist to build these missions. Things didn't always go smoothly. Bringing Christianity to the Indians was a major concern. As time went on, Missions prospered. More missions were to be built further north to lay Spain's claim to the southwest (4:02-5:54). El Camino Real has changed over time. Many missions have eroded and gone away. Some are restored to their former grandeur. Cities have grown around some mission buildings while others have remained rural. How the buildings were built is detailed and explained (5:55-8:59). The bells created called those to work as well as worship. Footage of the bells. How the walls are made is explained (9:00-10:33).

This black and white film from 1952 is the first in a training program series for retail salesmen called Destination: “Dotted Line”, presented by the Pontiac Motor Division of General Motors Corporation. The film depicts the “Men of Pontiac” at work inside the Pontiac factory, which was founded in Pontiac, Michigan. The film captures smoke billowing from a huge manufacturing plant followed by close-ups of moving metal factory parts, steely cogs in a giant machine (:44-1:00). The General Motors Pontiac division was headquartered in Detroit, Michigan in the United States and lasted from the year 1926 to 2010, when it closed down and the company was reorganized. At 1:01, the film progresses to emphasize the human factor behind the corporation, showing men at work on cars and in assembly lines inside General Motors factories. At 02:39, David Strong is featured as a successful Pontiac salesman. His boss, presumably the head of General Motors during the time period when Pontiac was introduced, is alluded to but not mentioned directly. William C. Durant founded the automotive company in 1908 and it grew into one of the largest in the world. The film emphasizes Strong’s bright future and winning attributes while highlighting the important work done by other employees like him at General Motors (03:40-7:49). Dealership salesmen, or the “Men of Pontiac”, are praised for their professionalism, depth of knowledge, and personal virtues. All the selling tools and resources, including the Pontiac car itself, are emphasized and praised as helpful aids to all Pontiac car salesmen (08:17-09:33). The Destination: Dotted Line guidebook for selling Pontiac cars is presented while the speaker encourages its use, along with intuitive sales know-how furnished by the salesman himself (09:40-09:50).

Some of the research at the USAF Missile Development Center was  part of the space program and intended to establish whether monkeys or chimps were suited for spaceflight, and where "Chimponauts" Enos and Ham were examined after their historic flights. Films of this type were not widely disseminated by the Air Force or NASA for obvious reasons -- they can be deeply disturbing to some individuals as it depicts helpless animals in difficult and sometimes painful situations. 

The film begins with a shot of the exterior of a building at Holloman Air Force Base (:30). At :50 a USAF airplane delivers primates to the base. They are quickly moved (2:22) indoors. At 2:39 a new research subject is tied to a table for examination and given the name "Carolyn." At 4:00 the monkey is given an injection near its eye. At 5:07 a research scientist writes down data. At 5:19 a primate is fed in its cage by a handler. At 6:27 a cage is brought to the lab. At 8:00 a large chimp looks out from its cage. At 8:08 the kitchen is shown with technicians making lunch. At 10:30 a monkey is shown in its cage. At 12:24 a primate is x-rayed. At 12:49, a chimp is shown wearing a clear plastic helmet, possibly a prototype space helmet (but might also be for medical research). At 13:27 the x-ray is studied by technicians. At 13:40 a chimp is shown strapped into a chair, similar to those used in spaceflight. At 14:01 another chimp is strapped into a chair. At 14:55 the chimp is shown reacting to illuminated lights on a simulated control panel. As blue lights illuminate the chimp turns them off by touching them. At 15:33 you can observe that the chimp has had the hair trimmed from his skull. At 15:47 the testing continues, this time with a device strapped to the chimp's head.

This color educational/training film called SELL SAFETY is meant to teach supervisors or foremen in the mines the proper way to enforce/teach safety. This explains why those in charge have to sell safety and stress safe work habits. They must create the desire to be safe and consider the negative effects when people don't take care in what they are doing. This is a 1968 film. 


Opening credits: US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Mines  - SELL SAFETY (:09-:27). A disclaimer acknowledging the cooperation of Mining Companies &amp; Miners who made this film possible as a shot of mining cars go by (:28-:44). Men sit and listen to an instructor. A man buys a car, another a lawnmower, another a suit. Safety is most important in preserving life. Miners underground. Our narrator tells us that safety is very important (:49-2:34). A motorman on a mining locomotive back poles his loco, this is an infraction against the rules. By doing this the worker is injured (2:35-3:19). How do supervisors sell the necessity of safe work habits? Stress the importance of regular income. A home is shown with a family entering it. A nice middle class neighborhood. Workman compensation is a poor substitute for regular earnings. Another mining accident is shown. A miner cuts a corner and slices a hose causing an accident (3:20-4:53). Most workers work safely but some take chances. Most men want to do their work correctly but hazards should still be explained. No one wants to be injured. Lots of mining footage is shown with injuries occurring (4:54-6:16). Safety is a way of life and this must be conveyed by those on charge. A man is asked to make sure he wears his helmet (6:17-6:57). A guy dealer sells a man a rifle. A man sells his wife on the idea of buying a rifle. Something must be sold as tangible to be wanted (6:58-7:28).

This color educational/training film is about the principles of different types of nuclear reactors. This was made in 1963. 

Opening credits/titles: Principles Of Thermal, Fast, And Breeder Reactors. Argonne National Laboratory operated by the University of Chicago (:08-:19). An atom of uranium 235 may split when it is struck by a stray neutron and this is discussed and shown in detail. Adding more uranium will help this situation. Scientific explanations are discussed (:20-2:17). A fast reactor is discussed (2:18-3:12) Argon's experimental Breeder reactor 2 is worked with by some men. This reactor is then explained and shown in an animated diagram (3:13-4:17). Thermal reactor and thermal neutrons are explained (4:18-5:15). Reactors which only use fuel are Fast Reactors. Reactors which use a moderator such as water are Thermal Reactors (5:16-5:51). Uranium 235 is expensive, a single ounce is $400. Plutonium is man made. Uranium is explained as is converting it (5:52-6:56). Fast neutrons can penetrate the U238. But a wall of it can help. Plutonium can be made this way (6:57-8:03). Lots of scientific talk about neutrons, fuel, nuclear reactions and breeding new fuel (8:04-8:37). Aerial shot of a nuclear reactor (8:38-8:53). End credits (8:53-9:00). 

A thermal-neutron reactor is a nuclear reactor that uses slow or thermal neutrons. ("Thermal" does not mean hot in an absolute sense, but means in thermal equilibrium with the medium it is interacting with, the reactor's fuel, moderator and structure, which is much lower energy than the fast neutrons initially produced by fission.)

Most nuclear power plant reactors are thermal reactors and use a neutron moderator to slow neutrons until they approach the average kinetic energy of the surrounding particles, that is, to reduce the speed of the neutrons to low-ve...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a59106ad-aef1-4d44-8809-283e5d106c39/c5c08461-7327-45ca-ae55-68e489d196c1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mrNvbTwS7i3QSM3UZ181HX</video:player_loc><video:duration>554</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T14:46:56.240Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2D2RrdJ1PMZhWrQPuRyxvb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ddcf55b6-0267-4b85-bb5b-fde1ab02bce1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s EDUCATIONAL FILM  " COSMETICS "  MAKE-UP APPLICATION &amp; USE  LIPSTICK &amp; EYELINER 17674</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This color educational film is about The Hollywood Turf Club and Horse Racing at Hollywood Park. There is no copyright at the beginning or end of the film so the date of the production is 1959/1960 as a lot of 1958 is mentioned. The track was opened in 1938 by the Hollywood Turf Club which was designed by Arthur Froehlich. Its chairman was Jack Warner of Warner Bros. 

Opening titles: The Hollywood Turf Club presents The Home Stretch (:13-:19). Thoroughbred racing is loved by sports fans and the home stretch of a race is considered the best in all of sports. The Hollywood Park is the track featured. Horses roam. Horses start early in the morning and do practice runs that foretell how they'll do in the actual race (:20-2:29). The jockey is the hardest worker. They are given massages and a steam room to lose some weight. All of the silks to be worn are in a room cared for (2:30-3:34). Money is what its all about. Jockeys are in the amphitheater paddock in Hollywood Park. Horses line up for the race. Jockeys get 10% of the winning horses pay. The race begins, the horses take off and race. Six horses run the track. The race is very close on the home stretch (3:35-6:09). The horse Swaps had a statue erected in his honor in 1958. Races showing Swaps win are shown. How Swaps was breaking records. The statue is shown and the horse's family is present (6:10-9:36). In Maryland, Native Dancer runs in the snow. Determined, a former Kentucky Derby winner, runs in CA. California is second behind Kentucky for producing thoroughbreds in the USA (9:37-10:57). Horses get ready to race. The skill of the rider is just as thrilling as the speed of the racehorse. Numerous jockeys are featured and information on them is provided (10:58-13:55). A famous race: 1957 Starlet Stakes at Hollywood Park. It was controversial and an inq...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c745c2d8-72ff-4984-8d35-f75c0556dbd3/26616109-020a-4d8d-a983-9b8fce305f91-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qBd1z6tqtnSRyw5ttngy1c</video:player_loc><video:duration>1409</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T14:53:25.137Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3YchSiHk2DTWs15hm9xb4R</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c1423469-e56c-41b0-a6ef-846a6602b526.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MARCH, 1946 HIROSHIMA AFTERMATH FOOTAGE (SILENT) U.S. STRATEGIC BOMBING SURVEY FILM XD30011</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Filmed in the aftermath of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima by U.S. Army Air Force's Strategic Bombing Survey team, this heart-wrenching film shows the devastated city and populace. Most of it was filmed in late March of 1946 -- about six months after the bomb was dropped. The production team was led by Lt. Col. Daniel A. McGovern with cameraman Harry Mimura (a Japanese cinematographer who worked in Hollywood). The film begins with footage of a concrete building that has been blown off its foundation.  At :48 a railroad style clock stopped at 8:13 is shown in the rubble.At :51 a large concrete building is shown, possibly the Honkawa Elementary School. At 1:51 the inner courtyard of the school is seen. At 3:03 are shots from the roof of the building. At 3:42 a concrete and brick wall is shown with blast damage. At 4:55, a sweeping pan of the destroyed city. At 5:04, a large concrete block building is shown, it is fairly intact. At 6:05 a streetcar moves past a shattered building. At 8:32, a smokestack. At 8:37 a shot shows how bricks were torn off the side of a building by the shockwave. More shots of blast damage follow including a steel building structure at 9:04 that is entirely deformed. At 9:14 is a wider shot of same. At 13:44 a wooden roof, all that remains of a structure, is seen on the ground. At 14:00 a denuded factory is shown. At 16:10 what appears to be a crushed and burned out bus or motor coach is shown in the rubble.

Dating to the 1940s, this silent film (with French titles) shows a pioneering surgery for hypertension developed by Dr. Reginald H. Smithwick. The Lumbodorsal sympathectomy was viewed as the only effective treatment for intractable essential hypertension at that time. Smithwick worked at the Massachusetts General Hospital before being recruited by Boston University to serve as Chairman of Surgery at the Boston University School of Medicine and Surgeon-in-Chief at what was then the Massachusetts Memorial Hospital.

The film starts with application of anesthesia at 2:14, pre-surgical preparation and marking at 3:46, before getting into the full procedure. The film was made by J.P. Valdes of Kodak-Pathe. 

Dr. Smithwick was an extremely innovative surgeon and was responsible for developing bilateral splanchnic sympathectomy as the only effective treatment for intractable essential hypertension at that time. Patients flocked to Boston from throughout the world for this operation, and colleagues and dignitaries were attracted to our institution to witness the performance of this procedure. Dr. Smithwick worked in conjunction with two world leaders in medicine, Dr. Chester Keefer, who was the Chief of Medicine and Dr. Robert W. Wilkins, who ironically put Smithwick out of the hypertension business with the development of the first effective medical therapy for essential hypertension. Thus, this was truly a remarkable era at Boston University School of Medicine.

The first color promotional/training film is about the new Sinclair car products. This is circa the early 1960s. The second, which begins immediately following is a training film for how to run a better Sinclair service station and was made in 1966.

A whistling gas station employee puts up a sign that reads Oil Change which is changed by a another man, the host, to read the opening title: THE BIG OIL CHANGE (:06-1:21). Sinclair has their new products introduced by the host: Dino Econoil, Dino Dinolene, Dino Extra Duty, and Dino Supreme Multi-grade (1:22-2:31). A man buys a new car and calls his wife. Cars on the freeway, driving signs. Short trips, low speeds, stop and go can harm engines (2:32-4:52). Dino Supreme Multi-grade is explained and info provided. A test is performed on it to prove its viscosity (4:53-7:03). 3 oils are tested right out of the freezer. Dino Supreme Multi-grade works best. Now its tested under excessive heat, once again the Dino Supreme flows best (7:04-9:38). The host shows the entire line of Sinclair's new products again. All have improved additives and formulations. A mailman brings a diagram that explains how foam oil isn't good and does nothing. They take a look at contaminants (dirt, dust from the road, etc.) to see how they damage engine parts (9:39-13:24). Top engine performance needs a top oil. Another test with oils, one with anti-rust, one without (13:25-15:42). Corrosion damage is shown on parts. Sinclair's new products can help prevent this. Oil changes will still have to occur at regular intervals of 60 days just like always (15:43-17:27). The host is going to work on a car now to prove his point. He tells the customer that regular oil won't work, he needs the best, Dino Supreme Multi-grade.Other customers are sold on the new products by our host (17:28-20:31).

Filmed in the aftermath of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima by U.S. Army Air Force's Strategic Bombing Survey team, this heart-wrenching film shows the devastated city and populace. Most of it was filmed in late March of 1946 -- about six months after the bomb was dropped. The production team was led by Lt. Col. Daniel A. McGovern with cameraman Harry Mimura (a Japanese cinematographer who worked in Hollywood). The film begins with footage of bricks being salvaged by hand. At :48 a notice of some sort is posted on a street pole. At 1:12 are shots from the harbor of various vessels. At 2:52 a slate is briefly seen showing the date of March, 1946. At 3:12 a woman with a stooped back approaches the cemetery and at 3:37 women are gathered at a shrine. At 3:51 more rubble is moved. At 3:59 trucks are shown along with oxen drawn carts piled high with goods.  At 5:43 what appears to be a marketplace is shown. At 6:19 a woman cooks soup in a large wok. At 6:37 spices and other goods are shown on display. At 6:47 a man offers cloth for sale and puts on a kimono to demonstrate how nice it is. At 7:25 other goods are shown on display and a scale is used to weigh them. At 8:15 smoke belches from a distant factory complex. At 8:32 the source of the smoke is shown, a large building on fire. Firefighters attempt to put out the blaze with hoses. At 9:05 a traditional Torii type gate is shown on the water. At 9:21 a shinto temple or shrine is seen. It all appears untouched by war. At 11:06 a boat transits to a dock. At 11:18 a large edifice is shown, possibly the Hiroshima public school which survived the bombing. At 12:21 surgery is performed and at 14:39 the patient's arm is shown with what appears to be a large abrasion.

This silent footage shows the rescue of a B-29 crew off the coast of Saipan in 1945. The rescue was effected by the crew of a PBY Catalina. It took place on March 5, 1945. 

The film begins with shots of B-29 Superfortresses landing at Saipan, presumably returning from bombing missions over Japan. A hand-written slate by photographer L.M. Mark (scrawled on the side of an oil drum) appears at 4:30 indicating that what you're about to see is footage of a rescue at sea. At 4:50 the fuselage of a B-29 is shown bobbing in the water. Most likely the tail sheared off during ditching. At 7:59 the crew of the aircraft is seen in an inflatable boat being pulled into the PBY.  At 10:15 the life rafts are shown empty, bobbing behind the Catalina. At 11:10 are aerials of the U.S. Navy fleet anchored off Saipan and shots of the seaplane base. At 12:37 what appear to be anchors are brought out and attached to the plane. At 14:10 everyone disembarks from the Catalina.

This silent gun camera footage was recently donated to Periscope Film by the estate of Capt. Ralph Santasiero. It shows missions flown in the Korean War starting in November, 1951. At the time Santasiero was flying a P-51 Mustang  with the 12th Fighter Squadron of the 18th Fighter Wing. The film shows various air-to-ground missions over mostly trackless terrain, hitting North Korean and possibly Chinese strongpoints. Weapons used include guns, rockets and bombs.

Ralph A.Santasiero (1921-2012) was born in Long Island City, New York. He enlisted as an Aviation Cadet in November, 1942. Trained in Class 43.H, he graduated and was commissioned at Marianna, Florida. His first assignment was the 9th Air Force flying P-47 Thunderbolts from Christ Church, England with the 405th Fighter Group, 51Oth Fighter Squadron.

He participated in the first flights on the "D-Day Invasion" June 6, 1944 and was later stationed with the same group on Cherbourg at Ste. Mare Eglise and St. Dizier, France. He flew 77 missions including escort, dive bombing, close support, destruction of railroads, ammunition dumps, bridges, tanks, artillery, anti-aircraft and enemy airfields. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal with 13 Oak Leaf Clusters.

He was recalled to active duty in the Reserves May, 1951 and was assigned to the 5th Air Force in Korea with the 12th Fighter Squadron of the 18th Fighter Wing. As a Captain and retread he flew P-51D's for 100 missions - close support and ground target destruction much like that of World War II. He was awarded a Cluster to the D.F.C. and 4 additional Clusters to the Air Medal.

Released from active duty in 1952, Santasiero again resumed his banking career and is presently a Vice President of J. Henry Schroder Bank &amp; Trust Company in New York, New York.

This is Redstone Arsenal was produced in late 1962 shortly after the establishment of Army Material Command or AMC (and one of AMC's first subordinate commands, the U.S. Army Missile Command or MICOM). The film was designed to promote US military prowess as exhibited by the Redstone missile development compound in Huntsville, Alabama.    

The film begins with overhead views of Huntsville and a narrator’s description of its agrarian origins.  Shots of cotton production shift to an impressive rocket test and main titles (1:04).  Footage of Huntsville follows, showing its bustling activity circa the early 1960s.  The narrator trumpets the town’s growth since the military’s relocation of its rocket headquarters to Huntsville in 1950: “Huntsville now is Rocket City, USA.”  A montage shows some of the professions being put to use in Postwar Huntsville, including scientists, engineers, computer technicians and others (1:38).  The mix of old and new is emphasized, newer examples of infrastructure include an airport (2:20) and a modern visitor’s center.  The US Army Missile Command is shown from overhead.  The Army Missile and Munitions Center and School (3:01) is shown, a specialized scientific training center for technicians and military men.  The Nike-X Project Office (3:22), and propulsion and chemical research corporations Fico Chemical and Rohm and Haas are briefly discussed as part of the compound at Redstone.  NASA’s George C. Marshall Spaceflight Center is shown along with some of their accomplishments including the “mighty Saturn Space Vehicle” (3:39).  Large rockets are shown being tested (3:56).

“Action is the essence of the missile program,” declares the narrator.  Missile parts are shown on the go, via trucks, trains, barges and planes (4:47).  Giant cargo-planes dominate an airfield.

This color educational film from Weyerhaeuser Forest Products gives some insight into the 1950s theories of tree farming and conservation. The film examines the "new Paul Bunyan" who is growing and harvesting trees in a highly efficient method. 

The film begins showing deer roam the forest as do rams and bears. The lumberman is a tree farmer. A lumberman hacks at a tree with an ax (:06-1:20). Streams flow. Payette River Tree Farm. The new Paul Bunyans must protect trees. Mature trees are to be cut but younger ones are left to grow. Lots of forest footage (1:21-3:28). On a private road, lumberman come in and cut down trees (3:29-4:23). Logs are put onto a railroad car. "Timber!" is yelled and a tree falls after being cut. Tractors and special equipment i used nowadays to transport the logs (4:24-6:49). Trees are cut, packed together, and pulled from the woods. Bound together, the logs are set for transporting (6:50-8:15). While harvesting, trees are also growing for the future. Logs are transported out of the forest on railroad cars across bridges. Logs are dumped into the pond at the mill (8:16-9:45). A boat helps sort through the logs. Each log is reviewed to see what it is best suited for. Over 4000 products are made from wood. In some cases, the bark is sprayed off with high pressured water. Then the clean log moves into the saw mill and cut (9:46-12:04). In the past over 20% of a log couldn't be used but now they use it all. Shots of cutting wood and making lumber. Other pieces of logs are made into wood chips.

The Dr. is currently the director of guided missiles in Huntsville, AL. Title: CHALLENGE OF OUTER SPACE (:09-1:34). A group of enlisted officers sit and listen as Dr. Wernher Von Braun talks about space being mankind's greatest technological challenge (1:35-3:06). Dr. Wernher Von Braun shows some slides featuring prototype rockets. He explains what is needed to reach space and how, including speeds. The rocket is broken down into stages (3:07-4:34). Dr. Von Braun continues to speak about leaving the atmosphere. He shows how an airplane type unit could be attached to the head of the rocketship. He gets into how stages of the ship taking off and leaving occur (4:35-8:29). Scientific talk about the apogee - the point in the orbit of the moon or a satellite at which it is furthest from the earth, and the perigee - the point in the orbit of the moon or a satellite at which it is nearest to the earth (8:30-11:03). Fuel consumption on the ship as it is going is discussed by the doctor. There will be harsh acceleration to the ship and it will be tough for people to work as a team under such conditions. A centrifuge test which tests endurance under acceleration is shown in a slide and film clip. Weightlessness is discussed (11:04-15:23). The trajectory of an airplane is shown in a diagram and explained about its correlation to space travel (15:24-17:59). What will happen to those men who fly horizontally? This is discussed (18:00-19:57). What happens when the ship gets into its orbit?...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fd4fa15d-8816-46b2-84d7-d2362cc114c2/fd0f8e91-38d2-4bed-bc53-cd96cd6d9897-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xheFwJgu1MfkR8SdSzvu5j</video:player_loc><video:duration>1830</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T15:44:48.026Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3dxTLGHromjpZSTrjEqrEz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/df7c8d0c-b221-4dfc-8071-b1ad8716941b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT" FAIR OF THE IRON HORSE  STEAM ENGINES (SILENT) XD10674b</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

The film reviews the tools needed for the operations, then shows how to strip and assemble the tube (barrel), the breechblock and lock frame, the feed box, and the tube extension. It also instructs viewers on how to care for the weapon and remove and load the magazine. The film starts with a look at the M4. The film shows the tools needed to assemble the gun (01:01), which include a barrel bushing wrench, a strap pipe wrench, a piston rod nut wrench, a small screw driver, a crescent wrench, and pair of long-nosed pliers. The film first shows how to remove the tube (barrel); a man removes the lock frame on the gun. He uses a wrench to unscrew the locking nut on the tube (02:22). Then the man applies the strap pipe wrench and disconnects the tube bushing. He uses a screwdriver to remove the two halves. The film then shows how to replace the tube (03:40), screwing the tube into the gun by hand and then tightening with the barrel bushing wrench.

This 1942 Warner Bros. propaganda film, directed by B. Reeves Eason, gives viewers a look at a reenactment of the training of U.S. Army Air Forces cadets. The film opens with Lt. General Henry H. Arnold climbing out of a plane at an airfield. He looks over a group of graduating cadets at the start of the wings-awarding ceremony. Arnold speaks to the graduates about their roles in the current climate (01:52). The graduates stand at attention, surrounded by what appear to be Vultee BT-13 Valiant planes (03:51). Arnold pins wings on the aviation cadets. The film then cuts to shots of the cadets prior to attending the academy (telling their stories): a young boy plays with a model airplane in a garage (04:24); a young man crunches budget numbers at the kitchen table, then is shown sitting on the front porch with his young wife; 06:40 a college student greets his family on a campus (06:40); another young man picks violets for his sweetheart (07:50), then he is shown kissing her goodbye at a train station. The new cadets get off a bus at the academy and walk onto the airfield (08:55). A Commanding Officer speaks to the new cadets. Cadets sit in a classroom and learn about aerodynamics. Several cadets are shown the instruments in a mock cockpit. Cadets fly bi-planes (likely Stearman Model 75s, also known as the PT-13 Kaydet) with their flight instructors. A training plane lands and totters on its landing gear. The film features several shots of young pilots in the cockpits of planes and writing in their flight record books.

Sequences were shot at air cadet squadrons situated throughout Canada, including scenes in Vancouver, British Columbia, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Toronto, RCAF Detachment Carp and RCAF Station Rockcliffe. A great deal of aerial footage was filmed by "Budge" Crawley from aircraft flying alongside operational RCAF aircraft.

Made by famed filmmaker Warren Miller for the Sears department store chain, this short film features Olympic champion Othmar Schneider (1928-2012) demonstrating his special skiing system.  The "Austrian" technique came about in the early 1950 and started the new wave of skiing. It featured turns made in the legs and lower body, with the upper body quiet.

Schneider was born in Lech am Arlberg. At the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, he was the gold medalist in the slalom and the silver medalist in the downhill.

This is one of Warren Miller's earliest films, and one of a series that helped launch his career as the sport's most prolific, and important, cinematic promoter.

Glenn L. Martin Baltimore, in cooperation with the US Navy Patrol, Squadron 49, presents a 1950’s era, color movie called, Look to the Sea. Produced by Information Services; Joseph M. Rowland, Mgr. Written and Directed by Donn Hale Munson. Photography by Lee T. Dougherty. Edited by Frank A. Maniglia. Technical Advisement by Ens. D.P. Arrowsmith, USNR. The film is a promotional film for the  Martin M6M SeaMaster. The Martin P6M SeaMaster, built by the Glenn L. Martin Company, was a 1950s strategic bomber flying boat for the United States Navy that almost entered service; production aircraft were built and Navy crews were undergoing operational conversion, with a service entry about six months off, when the program was cancelled on 21 August 1959. Envisioned as a way to give the Navy a strategic nuclear force, the SeaMaster was eclipsed by the Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile. Due to the political situation at the Pentagon, the Navy promoted the P6M primarily as a high speed minelayer.

This U.S. Army training film from the year 1958 "Nerve Gases Part II: Use of Injection Instruments" presents information about the emergency treatment administered after nerve gas exposure. It specifically examines the use of injection instruments to administer the medicine atropine. At 1:37 an instructor shows the atropine syringe which is provided with every Army gas mask kit. At 2:33 a syrette of the drug is shown and its use described. The syrette is a device for injecting liquid through a needle. It is similar to a syringe except that it has a closed flexible tube instead of a rigid tube and piston.

At 7:28 an ampule of atropine is shown. An ampoule (also ampul, ampule, or ampulla) is a small sealed vial which is used to contain and preserve a sample, usually a solid or liquid. Ampoules are commonly made of glass, although plastic ampoules do exist. At 11:46 medics are seen administering shots at an Army medical station. At 12:36 self-administration of the drug is demonstrated. At 13:20 an African-American soldier receives needle injection in the classroom. 

Atropine is a medication used to treat certain types of nerve agent and pesticide poisonings as well as some types of slow heart rate and to decrease saliva production during surgery. It is typically given intravenously or by injection into a muscle. Eye drops are also available which are used to treat uveitis and early amblyopia.The intravenous solution usually begins working within a minute and lasts half an hour to an hour. Large doses may be required to treat some poisonings.

Common side effects include a dry mouth, large pupils, urinary retention, constipation, and a fast heart rate. It should generally not be used in people with angle closure glaucoma. While there is no evidence that its use during pregnancy causes birth defects, it has ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/19bbbff9-28b5-42ef-a054-c061492ccc39/55937d79-8363-4bb5-ba9b-785deef708e8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4biFupunkDF6hfkoQYcFzc</video:player_loc><video:duration>990</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T16:18:20.058Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ceBsvrZMoyJmJR4Y36HwJh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/774583fe-eccb-4103-8714-6dbe55c7668c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s NASA ROUNDTABLE: SCIENTISTS DISCUSS THE MOON  HAROLD C.

This NASA Roundtable "Scientists Discuss the Moon" is moderated by Robert Jastrow and features comments about the scientific significance of lunar exploration by Harvard's Thomas Gold and U.C. LaJolla's (now U.C. San Diego) Harold C. Urey. Other members of the panel who appear in the film are Gerard de Vaucouleurs and Nicholas Christofilos. The panel was assembled prior to the start of the Ranger Missions, so likely early 1960 or 1961. The Ranger program was a series of unmanned space missions by the United States in the 1960s whose objective was to obtain the first close-up images of the surface of the Moon. The Ranger spacecraft were designed to collide with the lunar surface, returning imagery until they were destroyed upon impact.

Robert Jastrow (September 7, 1925 – February 8, 2008) was an American astronomer and planetary physicist. He was a NASA scientist, populist author and futurist. 

Thomas Gold (also known as Tommy Gold), born on May 22, 1920, died on June 22, 2004 was an Austrian-born astrophysicist, a professor of astronomy at Cornell University, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and a Fellow of the Royal Society (London). Gold was one of three young Cambridge scientists who in 1948 proposed the now mostly abandoned "steady state" hypothesis of the universe. Gold's work crossed academic and scientific boundaries, into biophysics, astronomy, aerospace engineering, and geophysics.

Gérard Henri de Vaucouleurs (25 April 1918 – 7 October 1995) was a French astronomer.

Nicholas Constantine Christofilos (Greek: Νικόλαος Χριστοφίλου; December 16, 1916 – September 24, 1972) was a Greek physicist. The Christofilos effect, a type of electromagnetic shielding, is named after him.

On May 20 and 21, 1927 Charles Lindbergh flew the first solo, non-stop trans-Atlantic flight in a plane called "The Spirit of St. Louis. His flight took about 33 hours and 30 minutes. On the 30th anniversary of Charles Lindbergh's flight, Major John Robinson Risner flew the same exact flight in an F-100F which took him 6 hours and 37 minutes. This display is that plane used which was nicknamed "The Spirit of St. Louis II"

The F-100 was the first U.S. fighter cabable of supersonic speed in straight and level flight. It adopted the nickname of "Hun": short for 100.  This F-100F Super Sabre is currently on display at the USAFA Prep School.

Gears are shown moving and they need oil as a lubricant. Aerial shots of factories (:48-2:13). An animated character is shown and he is a lubricating oil molecule, he is called a hydrocarbon. Crude oil is taken from the depths of the earth. Separation of molecules is first for the crude oil. An explanation is presented as animation shows the processes (2:14-4:21). Lubricating oil molecules must be separated. This is shown and explained.  Animation shows the different types of molecules. Asphalt is one of the types that must be removed. This process is explained as factory footage is shown (4:22-6:33). Lubricating oil stocks. Undesirable companions follow our good molecule. Wax must be removed and this process is explained and animation shows how (6:34-8:43). Sludge/varnish and the one that causes oil to thin or thicken at various temperatures must be dealt with now. How to remove these is explained and shown. Tests are then performed to make sure. Viscosity index is discussed (8:44-11:10). Color impurities must be removed next. This is explained and shown via animation (11:11-12:07). Different types of oils are shown. Each oil does a particular job in industry and transportation.

Dating to the late 1950s or early 1960s, this silent footage shows U.S. Navy training operations at Brunswick Naval Air Station in Maine. At least one of the aircraft (33:41) tail #128345 was affiliated with Patrol Squadron Eight (VP-8) , a U.S. Navy land-based patrol squadron. The film likely dates to prior to 1962, when VP-8 switched from P2V Neptunes to the P-3 Orion aircraft. Many activities are shown in the film including classroom training with radar and communications equipment, ground check of aircraft (8:48), the venerable lightship Portland (12:01), freighters at sea (13:08), dropping of markers and sonabuoys or sound buoys (16:20), group volleyball (21:06), base facilities (22:18), and more. 

Commissioned on 12 July 1941, and encompassing what was once Camp Dyer, NAS Quonset Point was a major naval facility throughout World War II. Beginning in 1943, pilots of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm were trained at Quonset Point to fly the Vought F4U Corsair, which was then brought into service on British carriers. NAS Quonset Point continued as a major naval facility well into the Cold War. Prior to its closure, it had been home to numerous aviation squadrons, primarily those land-based patrol squadrons operating the P-2 Neptune and carrier-based antisubmarine and airborne early warning squadrons operating the S-2 Tracker, the E-1 Tracer and various modified versions of the A-1 Skyraider. NAS Quonset Point was also the off-season home of Antarctic Development Squadron Six (VX-6, later VXE-6) during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, operating the LC-47 Skytrain, LP-2J Neptune, C-54 Skymaster, C-121 Constellation, and eventually the LC-130F and LC-130R Hercules, as well as a variety of helicopters.
NAS Quonset Point was decommissioned on 28 June 1974 as part of a series of defense cutbacks which resulted in a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9af87290-8c02-4373-831f-9b3cb9b1a330/b53d61a3-f16c-470f-86ad-5222b2d45b24-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/k8UUKhErhFWyS5sVxQgBH3</video:player_loc><video:duration>1587</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T16:29:51.012Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1gVEJwKjww9mKTPk4PRn6w</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2c040883-c436-4f8a-8f94-054fd52ae8f6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE WORLD WAS THERE" 1960s NASA PROJECT MERCURY SPACE MISSIONS  CAPE CANAVERAL MOVIE 17604</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Produced in 1941, "Life in Old Louisiana" was created by Erpi Classroom Films, Inc. in collaboration with James Fortier, the archivist of New Orleans. The film purports to show the history of 1830-1950, and starts with images of a steam boat traveling on the Mississippi River near New Orleans. A northerner interacts with a creole man name Dornier on board the ship who describes life in the deep South. At 1:40, an above-ground plantation home is shown and at 1:52 the fields, which are being worked by slaves. At 2:21 more palatial plantation houses are shown. At 2:37 slaves are shown harvesting sugar cane. At 3:04, another view of the steam boat. At 3:12, the French Quarter in New Orleans is shown. At 3:25 slaves clean the flagstones of the courtyard and domestic staff prepares for the arrival of the Dornier family.  At 4:00, the family visits church and then arrives back at the family home at 4:27 for a high tea / coffee. At 4:52 one of the daughters is shown practicing the harp, while the other children take English lessons from a governess. At 4:58, men fight a duel to settle a dispute. At 6:30, the slave market is shown and an auction of slaves is conducted. At 7:08, the New Orleans city hall is shown. At 7:22, a cemetery with above ground tombs is shown. At 7:42, the northerner joins the Dornier family for dinner. At 8:51 a maid sets up the bed for Marie, the family's daughter. At 9:22 a servant and chaperone accompany Marie and her beau on a date. The film ends with images of the prosperous region with its vast fertile lands, and the mighty river that ensures its growth for decades to come.

This silent footage shows a visit to the United States by Hasso Eccard von Manteuffel, a former Wehrmacht general who went on to become a member of the West German legislature and an advisor on the formation of the new army the Bundeswehr. The film starts at National Airport with Manteuffel arriving on an American Airlines DC-6. He is then whisked to the Pentagon for meetings. 

Hasso Eccard von Manteuffel (14 January 1897 – 24 September 1978) was a German general during World War II who commanded the 5th Panzer Army. He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds of Nazi Germany.

After the war, he was elected to the Bundestag (West German legislature) and was the spokesman for defense of the Liberal Party. A proponent of rearmament, he was responsible for coining the new name for the post-World War II German armed forces, the Bundeswehr. At first after the war, Manteuffel was interned at the British-administered Island Farm Special Camp 11 for high-ranking Wehrmacht officers. In 1946 he was handed over to the Americans and took part in the U.S. Army Historical Division project, for which he produced a monograph on the mobile warfare aspect of the Ardennes Offensive.

After his release in December 1946, he entered politics and was a representative of the Free Democratic Party of Germany (FDP) in the German Bundestag from 1953 to 1957. In 1957 he joined the German Party. In the early 1950s Manteuffel advised on the redevelopment of the Bundeswehr.

Manteuffel was charged in 1959 for having a deserter shot in 1944 (he reversed the court martial's original verdict of imprisonment and decided for a death sentence, using the Führer Order No.7 as a basis). He was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison. Alaric Searle comments that Manteuffel exceeded his ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b012a157-962b-4252-8001-1cd32f48bddf/c3196b0e-8a51-45db-9daf-48d44c2231c8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nK3PpEUPeMrqFNQNRpfYW4</video:player_loc><video:duration>452</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T16:37:24.751Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wPoe63vtoUuJfJjjaXetAh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/15b98ac4-1b31-4217-abf9-77a34d11ecf0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DAILIES FROM " THE FIGHTING LADY " WWII COMBAT DOCUMENTARY  KAMIKAZE STRIKES 85364</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This roll of silent footage was shot as part of the production of the the Academy Award winning documentary "The Fighting Lady", directed by famed cinematographer and photographer Edward Jean Steichen (March 27, 1879 – March 25, 1973). Steichen was a Luxembourgish American photographer, painter, and art gallery and museum curator. The Fighting Lady is a 1944 documentary film produced by the U.S. Navy and narrated by Lt. Robert Taylor USNR.

Shots include: PIlot parachuting into the ocean (:11) from a crippled plane. Ships under fire (:30) by Japanese aircraft. At :47 a Kamikaze hits near an aircraft carrier.  At :52 a Japanese plane plunges into the sea. At 1:00 Kamikaze aircraft fly close to a carrier and hit the deck (1:13). At 1:18 part of the plane hits the water adjacent to the carrier sending up a torrent of debris. Another near miss (or possibly a different angle on the one just seen) appears at 1:59. At 2:42 another Japanese aircraft is shot down and hits near a destroyer. At 3:00 an aircraft carrier suffers a direct hit by a kamikaze near the superstructure. At 3:16 is "Scene 408" with shots of planes landing in the sunset. At 4:42, refueling operations at sea are shown. At 5:36 a ship's band plays music at sea. At 5:52 anti-aircraft gunners stand at the ready while at 6:00 bombs are loaded aboard the carrier. At 6:25 crew members relax, read books and at 6:33 play catch with a baseball. At 6:47 men are shown resting with planes silhouetted by the sun. 

At the commencement of WW2, Ed Steichen, then in his sixties, had retired as a photographer and was developing new varieties of delphinium, which in 1936 had been the subject of his first exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, and the only flower exhibition ever held there. When America joined the global conflict, Steichen, who had come out of t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f98fd063-f4a7-4d9c-87bc-c653810f7b28/dc1ed11f-b96f-4dea-90ca-590dd3cefe8d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wPoe63vtoUuJfJjjaXetAh</video:player_loc><video:duration>477</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T16:39:19.236Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bw3SXiZpUWdWdxXMaLPe5f</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b2336546-7023-4175-94e2-589fc20f89fb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1937 CATERPILLAR DR7 DIESEL TRACTOR PROMOTIONAL FILM   CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT  97664</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This black &amp; white promotional film is about the Caterpillar Diesel DR7 Tractor . This was made in 1937 based on the roman numeral copyright shown. 

Opening credits: Caterpillar Tractor Co presentation (:08-:27). A globe goes round and round. Wherever work is needed to be done, Caterpillar DIesel equipment is there. Shots of the engineering department as well as the proving grounds. Women open files of the records for the tractors. Shots of the equipment at work. Files being plucked (:28-2:57). Operator's instruction books are shown. Caterpillar equipment is shown at work. A credit on screen reads: IT'S UP TO YOU (2:57-3:36). Caterpillar Diesel Tractor pushes over a log. Tractors do more work in 10 hours of operation than a car does in 1000 hours of driving. To get the best out of your tractor, keep dirt out of the engine. How to do this is explained and shown in great detail with an animated engine. A man cleans the fuel injector. An animated explanation shows how to tell if the fuel injector has dirt or muck in it (3:37-7:57). More detail on cleaning valves and pumps. Always check with your instruction book before attempting to replace parts (7:58-9:11). Clean fuel is needed, buy clean fuel. And make sure that when adding fuel that the cap is clean. Precautions are always important to keep dirt from the fuel. Dirt settles in fuel so waiting 24 hours to draw the fuel will draw mainly clean fuel (9:12-11:44). Dirt can still cause trouble by getting into the engine from the air. An air filter is good for your tractor's engine. Check the air cleaner (filter) frequently. Clean fuel and water is always good.The engine's cooling system needs water but soft water is better than hard water (11:45-14:23). An experiment that shows lime deposit is performed. It is very bad so use soft water if possible.

Shot in late 1945 or early 1946, this silent home movie was created by an American sailor. The film begins in Japan where ruined city streets are shown as well as smashed buildings and infrastructure. It's unknown precisely where this was shot, possibly Tokyo but it could also well be Nagasaki or another devastated city. At 1:41, refugees live in difficult conditions, growing vegetable gardens to support themselves. At 1:53 children run from the camera. At 2:07, a hulk of a Japanese battleship is shown. This is most likely the Nagato, which was anchored in Yokosuka at the end of the war. It had been used as a floating anti-aircraft battery and was attacked multiple times by U.S. aircraft. At 2:29, an illustration shows silhouettes of American planes including the P-38 Lightning. At 2:40, American sailors are shown busily preparing to go to sea aboard what appears to be LST-42. (This vessel performed occupation duty in the Far East and service in China until early April 1946.) At 3:37 the ship transits part of what might be Tokyo Bay past an impressive array of ships. At 3:53, USS Mineral County (LST-988) is seen. At 4:12 sailors work to splice a hemp rope on the deck. At 4:50 an officer surveys the horizon with field glasses or binoculars. At 5:11 the entrance to a harbor is shown, possibly near Shanghai. At 5:30 the rope is used to anchor the ship to the dock. At 5:45 American sailors and officers are shown on the docks, meeting Chinese counterparts. At 6:04 a ship the San Rafael is seen at the dock. At 6:17 more Chinese naval officers and men are shown lining up while at 6:33, the American flag is lowered. This is apparently a change-of-command ceremony with the USA giving the vessel over to the Chinese crew. It's unclear precisely what ship they are turning over -- it's possibly one of the Gearing clas...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/075c60a5-891e-4e11-8c74-7169d82d111e/dbbeb1ad-9ccf-4fea-90f4-4d2f06b8891e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1UHGSTF6arRGxeyuEiyUed</video:player_loc><video:duration>662</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T16:44:51.181Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/87mHbVdn5p5zy1KKW66VPx</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b808f03f-2519-4f9c-9eae-c54d588919ad.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s CHICKEN FARMING EDUCATIONAL FILM  KINGSWAY BROILERS  FREE RANGE FARM (SILENT MOVIE)  XD10694</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This silent, tinted film gives a look at chicken cultivation in the 1920s or early 1930s, long before factory farming became common. The film begins with shots at the farm of Marcus McKnight, Sr. of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. McKnight was raising pedigree chickens on his property near the Carlisle Barracks. At :57 waterfowl are shown on a lake. At 2:46 the film notes that McKnight's chick loss is less than 5%, which was apparently a low number in that era. McKnight's extensive coops and barns are shown. At 3;41 the film switches to Brandon, Florida, which at the time was apparently the home of a very successful chicken farm.  At 4:16 Carl Mueller, the superintendant, is shown. The farm's modern layout is shown starting at 5:00 with individual colony units shown at 6:20. At 7:46 a sign is shown for the Kingsway Brand of Broilers and Eggs. At 7:54 the farm of W.J. Ackerson of Lafayette, New Jersey if shown, with chickens shown on the range at 9:00. At 9:30 Ruehle's Sunnyside Farm in Pleasant Valley, New York is shown.  At 10:10 a stock trapnested and pedigree bred bird is shown as well as a flock of 300 egg hens.

This silent film from 1913 shows the opening of the Los Angeles Aqueduct system, a "stupendous undertaking" as a title card describes it. Chief Engineer William Mulholland is shown at 1:38, and again at 3:14 when the gates of the aqueduct are first opened. At 6:40 the San Fernando Reservoir is shown. The aqueduct project began in 1905 when the voters of Los Angeles approved a US$1.5 million bond for the 'purchase of lands and water and the inauguration of work on the aqueduct'. On June 12, 1907 a second bond was passed with a budget of US$24.5 million to fund construction. Construction began in 1908 and was divided into eleven divisions and a cement plant. The number of men who were on the payroll the first year was 2,629 and this number peaked at 6,060 in May 1909. In 1910, employment dropped to 1,150 due to financial reasons but rebounded later in the year. Between 1911 and 1912 employment ranged from 2,800 to 3,800 workers. The number of laborers working on the aqueduct at its peak was 3,900. In 1913 the City of Los Angeles completed construction of the first Los Angeles Aqueduct. The aqueduct as originally constructed consisted of six storage reservoirs and 215 mi (346 km) of conduit. Beginning three and one half miles north of Black Rock Springs, the aqueduct diverts the Owens River into an unlined canal to begin its 233 mi (375 km) journey south to the Lower San Fernando Reservoir.

“Red Foley in So Powerful Strong” is presented by Ford Motor Company’s Tractor and Implement Division. This is a promotional film highlighting the new Ford 861 Diesel Tractor circa 1958. The film opens with a close-up of an “on air” button in a recording studio (0:14). Red Foley is playing his guitar and singing “Alabama Jubilee.” He finishes the song and says goodnight to the audience over the radio. As he plays an outro, the announcer thanks the sponsors of the Red Foley Show, including Jim Hanks, the local Ford Tractor dealer (0:28). Everyone in the station says goodnight to one another, and a producer sticks around to tell Red Foley that Jim Hanks, the Ford dealer, is interested in meeting with him to discuss a jingle for a new Ford tractor and Foley agrees.

Viewers see a new Ford 861 Diesel Tractor inside a warehouse (1:28), and Jim Hanks sits at his desk, reading a binder, when he hears a knock at the door. Red Foley enters and sits across the desk from Hanks, guitar in hand. The two talk about Ford releasing a new diesel tractor. Hanks tells Foley that diesel burns fuel, which is cheaper than gas and gets more power out of each gallon. Hanks finally reveals that Ford has developed a light, powerful diesel, and that he’d like Red Foley to sing a song about it. Together, they walk over to the new tractor.

Jim Hanks shows Red Foley the new Ford 861 Diesel (4:52). They discuss the price, Hanks saying it’s only slightly more expensive than gas tractors, about half as much as most other diesels. Hanks and Foley walk over to a display explaining the schematic view of a Ford 861 Diesel Tractor’s fuel injection system (7:00). The gas ignition system is substituted with twice as much compression. The carburetor is substituted with a fuel injector pump and a set of injectors that spray the diesel directly i...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3732ce3d-a5c8-481f-b989-5b10d3599bdc/7cc17871-ed11-4755-8b33-c467c3d1591b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7PkuVvcLGZoWxd8w3xDvAu</video:player_loc><video:duration>736</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T16:51:41.785Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dEpu25jTbq9CQsCG5aSMvt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3b05a32e-6871-493b-969f-7ea93371aed0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>F-16 FIGHTER JET  EPU H-70 HYDRAZINE FUEL HAZARDS  TITAN MISSILE FUEL 67584</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

“F-16 Hydrazine Hazards” was produced by Aerospace Audiovisual Service in the late 1960s at the Military Airlift Command (MAC) headquartered at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois.  An F-16 Fighting Falcon flies into view (0:08). The camera slowly zooms in closer to the cockpit (0:49), cuts to the underbelly, then pans to the port side. The F-16 is a multirole tactical fighter, will full air-to-air and air-to-ground combat capabilities, and an electronic flight control system.  An F-16 sits outside a hangar (1:18). Viewers see a close-up of the turbofan engine, which supplies thrust and power. If the F-16 should experience system failure, an emergency power unit (EPU) automatically activates to supply emergency hydraulic and electrical power to the flight control system, allowing the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft. The turbofan is turned on. Viewers see a close-up of a pilot in the cockpit (1:26). The tail fin and flaps adjust. 

The film cuts to an illustration of a barrel of H-70, the fuel used to power the EPU (1:44). H-70 is a mixture of hydrazine and water and is toxic. Hydrazine has been used in missile propulsion systems. Two chutes of smoke billow upward as a missile launches (2:06). Men in protective gear engage in Titan missile maintenance (2:22). Men perform routine maintenance on an F-16 (2:29), and viewers see a close-up of the EPU. A man in protective gear runs towards the F-16, hands a jug of liquid to another man in protective gear, and they begin to pour the liquid in a barrel. 

A text screen explains the dangers of short term exposure to hydrazine (2:52). Symptoms include: dizziness and nausea, skin burns or eye damage, and even unconsciousness. Another text screen explains the dangers of long term exposure (3:14), which can result in kidney damage, liver damage, and potentially c...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/668a662e-1952-4d1e-a1de-ecd6d3f71be1/1f140afd-d0c0-4355-8179-cadb6dfd81eb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dEpu25jTbq9CQsCG5aSMvt</video:player_loc><video:duration>488</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T16:52:17.095Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/96Px8RbMgV6WsmY4e84NJM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/61cdec75-073b-42b4-b3f1-8f7d67a0d9fd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1906 TRIP DOWN MARKET STREET   SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA  17364</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Shot in 1906 (and not 1905 as the title card indicates), "A Trip Down Market Street" is a 13-minute actuality film recorded by placing a movie camera on the front of a cable car as it traveled down San Francisco’s Market Street. The film shows many details of daily life in a major early 20th century American city, including the transportation, fashions and architecture of the era. The film begins at 8th Street and continues eastward to the cable car turntable, at The Embarcadero, in front of the Ferry Building. Landmarks passed in the latter part of the first half include the Call Building (then San Francisco's tallest) and the Palace Hotel (both on the right; Lotta's Fountain is on the left between the two but is in the shade). The film was produced by the four Miles brothers: Harry, Herbert, Earle and Joe. It is notable for capturing San Francisco four days before the city's devastating earthquake and fire, which started on the morning of Wednesday, April 18, 1906.

The Miles brothers had been producing films in New York including films shot in San Francisco. In September 1905 they shot the fight between Oscar "Battling" Nelson and Jimmy Britt in Colma, California, just south of San Francisco city limits. The Miles brothers established a studio at 1139 Market Street in San Francisco in early 1906. They shot a railroad descent down Mount Tamalpais as well as the Market Street film. On April 17, Harry and Joe Miles boarded a train for New York, taking the two films with them, but they heard about the earthquake and sent the films to New York while they boarded another train headed back to San Francisco. The Turk Street house of Earle Miles survived the earthquake and subsequent catastrophic fire but the studio did not. The Miles brothers based their business out of Earle's home, and shot more film of post...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/41991fac-ff60-49d5-9573-95dbdda6cff1/cc8aa656-e7e6-409d-b4dd-85f334982d79-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/96Px8RbMgV6WsmY4e84NJM</video:player_loc><video:duration>663</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T16:54:34.635Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7VS2qoR5vDq9B3juZJGWVT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/373c2fbd-eb5a-4176-8140-dc00f897b1b1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" MOTION STUDY APPLICATIONS " 1940s RALPH M.

Ralph M. Barnes’ “Motion Study Applications: Showing Better and Easier Ways to Work” is a black and white film studying motion economy. Ralph M. Barnes was a Professor of Engineering and Production Management at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of Iowa. The film was produced by the University of Iowa in 1942.

The film opens with various workers performing mundane, repetitive tasks, such as sorting (0:44), putting pegs in holes (1:11), hammering (1:23), assembling boxes (1:36), nailing (1:50), and tightening bolts with a wrench (1:57). A man sits at his desk and uses a fountain pen to sign a document (2:08). The film cuts to a list of a common series of movements: transport empty, select, grasp, position, use, pre-position, assemble, transport loaded (2:22). A motion analyst uses a special analyst 16mm film projector to view a film of a woman working in a mailing room, observing the fundamental motions of her task (2:31). She stuffs paper into envelopes, and the analyst takes notes, recording the time required for each motion.

The film cuts back to the man sitting at his desk (3:17). He signs a letter and sets it aside. Then he reaches for his pen, signs another letter, and sets it atop the other. The action slows down and the motion is broken down in a fashion similar to the steps listed previously (3:47): transport empty, grasp, transport loaded, position, use, transport loaded, pre-position, release load, transport empty. The film returns to the first woman in the montage, who demonstrates efficient motion economy (5:15). Viewers see the second woman filling 30 holes in a board with 30 wooden pins (5:56). She fills the board as quickly as possible, inserting the pin in the hole with the bullet nose down. A text screen reads one of the basic principles of motion economy: “m...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/381c1498-f602-4710-9022-2551ffba294d/d18145f3-a01b-4469-8046-bbaeb4b03152-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7VS2qoR5vDq9B3juZJGWVT</video:player_loc><video:duration>1101</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T16:57:38.321Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gwvNjGoQRdtR2TPnvt1NuP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/26ea35e6-c5e8-43dc-afa4-ff3195389ab5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s 16mm JIFFY MOVIE PROJECTOR SMPTE SOUND TEST FILM &amp; CITIZEN KANE TRAILER  17294</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This short NASA film documents the final mission of the Gemini program in 1966 as astronauts James A. Lovell, Jr. and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr. performed several extravehicular activity (EVA) operations and a rendezvous and docking operation with an Agena target vehicle. The film starts with footage from the June 3 1965 spacewalk by astronaut Ed White. A mockup of the Gemini XII spacecraft sits under water in a pool (01:24), where astronaut Buzz Aldrin (the pilot for Gemini XII) uses a weighted suit to simulate zero gravity for EVA training. He attaches hand rails on the spacecraft. He tests foot restraints at the rest area (03:14). Men help pull the astronaut out of the pool. The Atlas-powered Agena target vehicle blasts off on 11 November 1966. Command Pilot Jim Lovell climbs into Gemini XII preparing for launch. The boosters ignite and liftoff occurs (05:20). Gemini XII flies through the sky. Men record data in the command center, monitoring the astronauts and spacecraft. Footage shows Gemini XII orbiting Earth and looking for the Agena craft for a planned rendezvous. Gemini XII nears Agena for a docking operation (07:37). NASA officials in the command center talk about an Agena propulsion issue. There is a shot of sunset from the beach of one of the islands in Hawaii (10:08); this is followed by shot of Gemini XII in space. The astronauts photograph a solar eclipse, then Aldrin climbs out of the hatch for a standup EVA (11:30). A still photo shows Gemini XII during an umbilical EVA (13:18). Onboard cameras show Aldrin moving out and attaching a tether from the spacecraft to the Agena. He is shown working at the Agena work station. The film also shows Aldrin taking a break at the rest location. Aldrin uses a torque wrench during the EVA session (15:24). Gemini XII undocks from the Agena and moves away. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/df30bf79-c918-42b5-884d-1491410d3094/9b71345b-6c33-4c5e-8ed5-78bf7cfa1785-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tyvxd84imPxeDdmy77Yvvf</video:player_loc><video:duration>1551</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T17:02:13.656Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/e9sAkGm9HGTy8Dowc2empR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c1dcdaa2-f248-47ef-b26e-2eb1620f00eb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1958 MEDICAL TRAINING FILM   ROUTINE PELVIC EXAMINATION  CYTOLOGIC METHOD  PAP TEST  59664</video:title><video:description>This short 1958 educational film from the American Cancer Society shows how to perform a routine pelvic examination and cytologic test for the detection of cancer of the uterus. The film opens with a woman sitting in an office of a physician. A nurse retrieves the patient from the office and takes her to an exam room. An illustration of the pelvis and cervix is used to show the development of uterine cancer. A chart shows the cure rates for the different stages of the cancer (03:30). A slide is placed under a microscope (04:27), showing the sample from the pap smear. The nurse stands at the side of the patient to comfort her while the physician performs a routine pelvic examination (04:45). He grabs a speculum then inserts the tool into the woman’s vagina. A close-up shot shows the patient’s cervix and vaginal tissue. The film shows the physician use an aspirating pipette to capture secretion from the woman. A rubber or latex model of a pelvis is used to show how the sample is collected from the cervix. A tongue blade spatula is used to scrape smear from the vagina. A cotton-tipped aspirator is then used to obtain a sample. The physician puts lubricant on his fingers and then performs a pelvic examination of the patient (07:58). There is another demonstration on the pelvis model to show how to palpate the abdomen with the free hand. The examining hands then palpate the ovaries and tube of the model, which is then followed by demonstrating a final bi-manual examination with a rectal-vaginal-abdominal palpation on the model (11:04). The film shows a close-up shot of a biopsy specimen being taken from a suspicious cervical lesion (11:58). The film concludes with a close-up shot of the cervix and the collection of a sample for the cytologic test procedure.

The Papanicolaou test, also known as the Pap test or the Pap smear, was developed in the 1940s by Georgios Papanikolaou. It involves exfoliating cells from the transformation zone of the cervix to enable examinati...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6a752403-9d9e-426c-9213-9b91488010af/abf85035-59e6-4ce1-b86a-0751ac215ff2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/e9sAkGm9HGTy8Dowc2empR</video:player_loc><video:duration>802</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T17:04:19.316Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/axHrudbJXG8p1tGEwVVg2H</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/641bec31-a5a2-4785-a357-2fd71eeaa71b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" TEMPLES OF INDIA " 1938 HINDUISM, HINDU TEMPLES  INDIA TRAVELOGUE MOVIE TAJ MAHAL  XD10124</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This color educational/promotional film is about Firestone creating a safer fuel system in cars. There is no copyright at the beginning or end of the film so the date of the production is around 1967 as 1966 is mentioned in the film. 

A racing car slams into a wall during a race and is engulfed in flames. As speed increases so does danger (:12-:1:01). The United States Auto Club asked Firestone to design a crash resistant fuel system. Shots of inside the Firestone factory as products are being worked on (1:02-1:52). Title card: Ounces of Prevention, presented by Firestone &amp; Scott Paper Company. Workers at Firestone shake hands at a board meeting (1:53-2:13). Scientists/engineers work at the Firestone plant and do experiments with fuel and fire. A board meeting explains what must be prevented to make the fuel system safer. Shots of jumbo jets taking off (2:14-4:20).  Phoenix International Raceway. A camera was mounted onto a car to monitor the fuel tank. The car races at speeds up to 140mph. An experiment with hollow plastic balls had little effectiveness with fuel surge (4:21-5:50). A screen is considered, Scott Paper Company works with Firestone. Safe foam was considered due to its weight. How safe foam is made is explained and shown. Tests are run on the foam by engineers (5:51-8:26). Fuel has no reaction with safe foam. The foam seems to help contain the fuel surge (8:27-9:00). Back at the Phoenix Int'l Raceway, the foam is used and the camera mounted again. On the track the foam controls the foam surge. Tests are performed on tanks with the foam and without, the foam ones come through without incident (9:01-9:55). The foam is tested and seems to block an explosion (9:56-10:38). Ft. Stockton, Texas on Firestone's test track, the fuel tanks filled with safe foam have no incidents.

Created by Gulf Oil, "One Heartbeat Away" looks at the Gulf McClaren team in the 1973 Indianapolis 500 Race. The film starts with a look at the car driven by Peter Jeffrey Revson (February 27, 1939 – March 22, 1974). He was an American race car driver and heir to the Revlon cosmetics fortune. He was a two time Formula One race winner and had success at the Indianapolis 500, who was tragically killed in an accident at the South African Grand Prix. Johnny Rutherford his teammate watches Revson on the track and then qualifies himself (3:08). The film also shows Gasoline Alley / maintenance of cars (5:30), practice laps / carburetor tests (7:16) and the race itself starting at (10:37). At 10:45 a major accident takes place involving 11 cars. Al Unser takes the lead. At 12:28 Revson's shattered car is shown, after he hit the wall on the third lap. At 14.36, a terrible accident occurs with David "Swede" Savage's car; Savage is killed. Also dead in the same lap was crew member Armando Teran. At 14:50 Al Unser's car is shown on fire, but the fire is quickly extinguished. At 15:30 Rutherford is shown in the top ten while Unser leaves the race due to a blown engine. After 133 laps (332​1⁄2 miles), rain halted the race, and Gordon Johncock was declared the winner. It was the first of two Indy triumphs for Johncock (1973, 1982).

The 57th 500 Mile International Sweepstakes was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana, on Wednesday, May 30, 1973. The race was held over three days due to rain and suffered two major accidents. Going into the month, the mood was bright and excitement was high for record speeds. Competitors, media, and fans were eagerly anticipating the possibility of breaking the elusive and daunting 200 mph barrier during time trials.

This short mid-1960s film from Atomics International, a division of North American Aviation, Inc., gives viewers a look at the July 1964 power conversion subsystem development status of 
The Mercury-Rankine program (CRU). This was part of the Systems Nuclear Auxiliary POWER (SNAP) program, a program of experimental radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) and space nuclear reactors flown during the 1960s by NASA. SNAP-1 was a test platform that was never deployed, using cerium-144 in a Rankine cycle with mercury as the heat transfer fluid. Operated successfully for 2500 hours. 

The film opens with a scientist working in a laboratory on a nuclear reactor designed for space flight. Animation is used to show how mercury is used inside a Mercury Rankine power conversion subsystem (01:09). Viewers see a building of Thompson Ramo Woolridge, Inc. (01:54), where the CRU boiler and rotating unit is made. Illustrations are used to show the structure of the device. Viewers see a drawing of a CRU with its mercury pump. A hand holds a centrifugal pump for the device. The film then shows a modified CRU unit designated as CRU-IV-M, then the CRU-V. The parts of the CRU-IV-M are laid out on a table. A man monitors a computer that processes data from development testing (05:12). Another man runs a machine to fabricate the body of the CRU-V design (05:58). A CRU-V is covered with what appears to be cotton during an endurance test. Men watch gauges during a 1964 CRU demonstrated performance test. The film presents a table with the data results from testing the CRU-IV-M and CRU-V (07:40). Men work on a new test cell for CRU models (08:53). In some type of monitoring room, a man records the results from tests on CRUs onto his clipboard (09:48), concluding the film.

“Sand and Steel” is a U.S. Marine Corps special film report from circa 1965. It highlights the construction of the Chu Lai Air Base in South Vietnam, and features the United States Seventh Fleet, the Seabees of the U.S. Naval Mobile Construction Battalion Ten, the III Marine Expeditionary Force, and the Fleet Marine Force, Pacific. 

The film opens with an aerial of an American fighter bomber attacking a communist installation in Vietnam (0:19). It drops a bomb on the ground below and fires again. An explosion is seen in the distance. The fighter jet was designed for air support and is capable of delivering bombs, rockets, and guided missiles. It slowly descends closer to the surface in order to get an accurate shot, fires again, then ascends to safety. 

A fighter bomber is seen flying overhead (2:12), then a quick cut to a series of landings at the Chu Lai Air Base in South Vietnam. The field was built primarily for Marine support aircraft, and each piece is portable. 

Viewers see scenes of various Marines and workers on the airstrip. A traffic navigator directs an incoming jet (2:42). A pilot is seen in the cockpit (2:47). Two men sit inside the control tower (2:59). A worker directs a truck as it descends from the cargo hold. A plane takes off from the runway and flies overhead.

The film cuts to a desolate sandy field covered in brush (3:30). This is the site where Chu Lai airstrip was built. Marines step onto the shore in South Vietnam, unloading equipment (3:48). They head into the brush and scout the land, hoping to find enough space to seize and defend in order to create the airfield. A Marine looks out of his binoculars (4:20). 

Marines arrive to the site in helicopters (4:24). They land and quickly deboard, weapons and gear in hand, before the helicopter takes off. They survey the terrain (4:...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5f119ea2-cb97-4fd1-a0d0-7a6e6e77c7b1/6f7c07d3-e39f-4e04-b617-bba896c4a303-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cJTG7uHcBkyM4C8TsR8i3R</video:player_loc><video:duration>918</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T17:18:37.566Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8aJmHfjsLz8fxceUfrk2FD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4ee5261e-1e5b-4c3c-bd56-b6af246a2966.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE DRIVING SCENE"  1960s DRIVER EDUCATION FILM w/ JEAN SHEPHERD NARRATION 94564</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This color educational film is a driver's safety film about city driving. There is no copyright at the beginning or end of the film so the date of the production appears to be the mid to late 1970s.

Opening shots of a car junkyard (:08-:43). Opening credit: THE IRON GRAVEYARD, a presentation of the National Safety Council (:44-:58). A junkyard worker talks about how cars in city life have so many distractions with signs, other cars, and regular life. Exits are tough for those not paying attention. The rules and regulations for speed and exiting an exit are explained. An example of what happens when you don't exit correctly is shown (:59-2:37). You must constantly pay attention: eyes left, right, ahead and behind. Sudden stops aren't the exception but the rule (2:38-3:23). Changing lanes is tough, do it like you mean it and pay attention. Watch for many clues that can provide you with information on whether or not someone is ready to pull out towards you (3:24-5:10). How to park. A man backs up his van - it is shown and explained how to do it safely. Intersections are discussed and then 4 way stops are explained and shown. What to do when you stop short at a red light and people cross in the crosswalk (5:11-7:03). Left turns and how to do them. Old people and children can cause problems crossing the streets - old people are generally confused (7:04-8:24). How to make a proper right turn with a big rig in the city. Don't give too much space on your right side or a small car or motorcycle might try to squeeze through (8:25-9:00). The cars wouldn't end up in the junk pile if people would follow these rules: keep a complete picture of traffic all around, pick your lane and stay in it, move with the traffic, signal to change lanes, treat parked cars like they are ready to move, watch out for pedestrians, be al...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6ad59195-c3be-4508-8442-b34ef33e3f5b/101d2349-35e7-4a03-9000-03451b8f46ed-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eca4Auq2tNaJ86DuZxvNCB</video:player_loc><video:duration>606</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T17:21:29.081Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cRLmLkGn9WoLAMxjsMjQ4a</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f2f4ec76-916c-4197-9026-909c4db6839d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE SHOW MUST GO ON" 1940s BELL &amp; HOWELL FILMOSOUND 16mm MOVIE PROJECTOR SALES FILM XD10554</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This color educational film is about Bell &amp; Howell Film Projectors and good projection. There is no copyright at the beginning or end of the film so the date of the production remains unclear but based on information provided its the late 1940s or early 1950s.

Credits: Bell &amp; Howell presents THE SHOW MUST GO ON (:13-:29). A woman plays a piano in a movie scene as a crowd watches inside a packed theater. A title card on the screen asks that women remove their hats, one stubborn woman will not as the feature 'Revenge on the Range' begins. The film stops and another card warns patrons that the operator is in trouble and it'll be a moment. The film is back and scenes are shown. The crowd reacts to what is shown on the screen. Once again - the film stops and the patrons are warned that the operator is in trouble and it'll be a moment. The film has returned. Patrons watch and clap. They then laugh. The movie has ended (:30-3:26). Everyone has a good time except the man who ran the projector. The projectionist shows exhaustion. We then get shots of different projectors and people watching films (3:27-4:27). Everyday people (teacher, factory worker, priest, etc.) vocalize their concerns about projectors (4:28-5:33). A woman threads a projector. An explanation of how a film is threaded and what is does while it's playing is demonstrated and shown. What makes a film play correct or incorrectly is explained. All aspects of a projector and what works well is explained and shown in great detail (5:34-9:44). More information on other parts of the projector is demonstrated (rewinding, the aperture, etc.) (9:45-11:38). Shots of films in the vault. A man threads a projector. The light source is the heart of the projector. The inside of the projector is shown being worked on. Many lamps are shown.

This reel of gorgeous color footage from 1940s Hawaii was made for sale to visiting tourists at shops in Honolulu. Each 100' roll of film, running about 3-4 minutes, presented a different aspect of the magic isles. First is "Pineapple and Sugar Industries of Hawaii" (:29), showing the rich agriculture that supported the territory's economy. At :50 crops are burned to prepare the soil. At 1:03 loads of sugar cane are removed from the field and processed at 1:15. At 2:00 pineapples are harvested in fields by laborers wearing hats to shield them from the sun. At 3:01 the pineapples enter a sorting machine where they are then processed for canning (3:23). At 3:56 they are shipped all over the world. At 4:00 is the second film, "Maui the Valley Isle" showcasing various sights on the island. The film closes at 7:26 with a spectacular sunset. At 7:32 is a film about Oahu, with shots of Honolulu and Waikiki Beach. This begins at 7:40 with shots of a Pearl Harbor's cemetery. At 7:50 an ocean liner, probably SS Lurline, is shown arriving in port while at 8:00 visitors arrive on a United Airlines DC-3 airplane. At 8:13 the Aloha Tower is shown and at 8:44 the famed statue of King Kamehameha. At 9:37 local fishermen show off their catch while at 9:50 is extensive footage of surfing. At 10:03 are shots of the blow hole and at 10:15 Waikiki Beach and more surfing as well as catamarans and canoes. 

At 11:03 "Surfing Thrills at Waikiki" is a delightful look at the art of surfing as it existed in the early post-WWII era.

It was made in 1967, the same year that the ship suffered a terrible fire that cost 134 lives.  It is unclear whether the film predates the fire, or was made in its wake.  At 1:15, an A-4 Skyhawk is shown on the deck of the Forrestal, and at 1:21 is an F-4 Phantom. At 8:14 a flying dumptruck, the A-1 Skyraider, is seen. At 2:12, a closed circuit television system shows a Skyhawk landing. At 2:20, a Douglas A-3 Skywarrior tail 142662, breaks the wire and sails off the deck of the carrier.  Many in the crew became casualties as a result of the incident, and the film examines the safety risks and policies that help ensure flight deck safety.  These include at 5:15, a look at the issue of safe handling of rockets and missiles. (The fire aboard Forrestal in 1967 was due to mishandling of a Zuni rocket by a member of the deck crew.) At 11:10, SH-2 Seasprite helicopters are shown in use on the flight deck. At 12:21 the arresting cable is seen moving across the flight deck. At 13:04,  another A-3 Skywarrior accident is seen. At 13:19, another flight deck accident is shown, this one involving what appears to be a Grumman F9F Panther. At 13:30, a jet tumbles off the flight deck into the sea. At 13;40, a North American FJ-2/-3 Fury crashes into parked aircraft. At 14:00 the narrator repeats the admonition that crew members should reduce their exposure on the flight deck. At 14:48 LOX or liquid oxygen is shown being used to service aircraft, and the risk of fire described. At 15:50, nighttime operations are shown and a discussion of the use of red illumination to promote night vision. At 16:30, a coffee cup is filled by a crew member going on night duty.

A man draws coordinates and trajectories on a glass board. The two planes approach a Soviet Tupolev Tu-95 long-range bomber (01:48). Lt. Col. Thompson, commander of the squadron, speaks to the camera about using F-4s during scramble sorties and the reason for the switch from the F-102s (02:24). The digest shows men working on the new F-4s in hangers and loading munitions on one of the planes. An F-4 taxis on a runway. A pilot fishes near Reykjavik (04:00). Footage shows a city street in Reykjavik and a scenic waterfall out in the wilderness. An F-4 taxis on a runway at the base (04:54). Pilots put on their flight suits to run another scramble (05:20). They climb into the cockpits of the F-4s and move out onto the runway. Two of the fighter jets take off, and then they are shown flying over Iceland (or possibly Greenland), concluding the short video report.

The 57th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron, also known as "The Black Knights of Keflavik", is an inactive United States Air Force unit.

Made in 1975, "Horizons Unlimited" is a U.S. Navy recruiting film that introduces sailors to the duties of the Operations Specialist (OS) rating. The first part of the film features a brief history of radar, beginning in World War II, and classroom exercises on topics such as radar repeaters. The second part of the film shows a training simulation in the "A" School CIC mockup, and commentary by Operations Specialists.

Operations Specialist (abbreviated as OS) is a United States Navy and United States Coast Guard occupational rating. It is a sea duty-intensive rating in the Navy while the majority of Coast Guard OS's are at ashore Command Centers.

The rating started from the radarman (RD) rating. In the U.S. Coast Guard the Operations specialist rate was formed by combining the radarman (RD) and telecommunications specialist rate (TC). When the radarman rating was split up into OS, electronics technician (ET), and electronic warfare technician (EW) ratings, the original RD rating badge continued to be used by the operations specialist. It symbolizes the radar scope (circle portion of symbol) oscilloscope radar (O-scope) used to determine a targets range from the radar antenna (the two spikes in the line drawn across the scope), and the arrow represents the ability to detect the azimuth or direction of the target.

Operations specialists aboard U.S. Navy combat vessels work in the combat information center (CIC) or combat direction center (CDC), aka: "combat", the tactical nerve center of the ship. Using a wide variety of assets available to them, Operations Specialists are responsible for the organized collection, processing, display, competent evaluation and rapid dissemination of pertinent tactical combat information to command and control stations, upon which sound tactical decisions may be made.

This black &amp; white educational film is about Goodyear's rubber trees in Sumatra and how that rubber is used to make our tires here in America. This film was made in the 1930s by Goodyear.

Opening titles: Conquering The Jungle, presented by the Goodyear Tire &amp; Rubber Co, Akron, OH (:08-:34). The island of Sumatra. Sumatra is a large Indonesian island west of Java and south of the Malay Peninsula. It's known for its rugged tropical terrain, wildlife and smoldering volcanoes. Lots of rubber trees grow there. In 1916 Goodyear started rubber plantations. The inhabitants like to fish. People who live there bathe and wander (:35-2:27). A child smokes a cigarette and adults laugh. Jungle shots. Oxen pulls carts and lumber. People remove a large snake. Better places to live were set up for the locals so they could assist with Goodyears intentions on this land. The natives received running water and took good showers.  Laundry and bath can be done together. Engineers looked to conquer the jungle and clear parts of it. Underbrush was cleared. Trees were then cut down. This way rubber trees could be planted (2:28-4:32). Work progressed slowly as the men learned their jobs. Trees were cut and burned as was underbrush. Tree stumps were removed. All of this land had to be cleared so rubber trees could be planted (4:33-5:31). In 1498, Christopher Columbus found the natives of South America playing with a crude rubber ball. 94,000 of acreage could supply the plant in Akron for 25 days. Just the right amount of bark can be cut off so latex can be collected. Shots of the tree bark being cut by natives (5:32-6:48). Each tree gives between 4 and 6 pounds of rubber.

Made by Mobil Oil by John Hennessy Productions and shot in and around Los Angeles, this film "One Day" promotes the Golden Rule and good citizenship and was part of Mobil's "Friendly Way" campaign. The free-flowing style of the film cleverly hides the fact that it was created as a sales tool for Mobil -- as a gas station sequence at the end makes clear. Various scenarios of do-gooding seen in the ilm include an African-American man needing help to move a large freezer (1:58), a lost child (6:00) outside a Home Savings in downtown L.A.,  interacting with a lonely old man in Silverlake (8:00), etc. The film ends with the boy expressing that he "wants to feel about everything, just like I feel today." At 12:18 the boy hops on a bus while Dad goes off to work at the Mobil Service Station, where his good attitude and pride are on display. At 13:00 the narrator sums up what the film has being trying to put into words -- the "Friendly Way" promoted by Mobil which includes such values as "not waiting to be asked" and anticipating the needs of the customer. At 13:17 Dad gives directions to a beautiful looking blonde and her son. 

The film was directed by UCLA professor (and co-founder of Eclair Camera USA) Jean‐Philippe Carson, an accomplished cinematographer who was tragically killed in an auto accident at the age of 49.

Released in1927 for the home market by Eastman Kodak, this silent film shows views of Niagara Falls. It was tinted blue to provide a dramatic effect. At 2:26 the boat Maid of the Mist I or II is shown. These boats were built in 1885 and sailed closer to Horseshoe Falls than any had previously. These boats sailed the lower river until April 22, 1955, when they burned in a pre-season accident. Later that year, they were replaced by two new ships. The type and style of the boats is still seen today; they were made of steel and powered by diesel engines.

This film from Ford shows the company's experimental gas turbine semi truck, known as "Big Red". It dates to approximately 1965. The film starts out with shots of the Cabana Motel in Atlanta before showing a map of the nation's new interstate highway system. At :54 a superhighway is shown with its many interchanges. "When this network is completed, true long-range hauling at sustained speeds with all city traffic bypassed...will become a practical idea for the first time." At 1:30 the standard cargo hauler of the era, a Ford diesel truck, is shown. The truck for the future is then unveiled at 1:56, the "Big Red". At 2:39 the truck is shown at the New York World's Fair where it was on display. At 2:52 it is shown at an auto show. At 3:10 the cab of the truck is shown backing into its trailer. At 3:30 an early Ford turbine is shown. At 3:42 the Ford turbine laboratory is shown with a mainframe type computer in operation. At 4:00 the experimental 705 engine is shown. At 4:12 the futuristic cab of the truck is shown off with its refrigerator, toilet, sleeping area, television set and more amenities. Sitting eight feet above the highway behind a free-standing control console, the driver had unlimited visibility.

Ford's advanced experimental “Big Red” truck represented a massive R&amp;D effort by Ford. A major catalyst for the project was the potential for lucrative military gas turbine engine contracts unrelated to heavy trucks. “Big Red” made its public debut at the 1964-65 New York World’s Fair. After the fair, “Big Red” toured the United States and Canada with stops in Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Los Angeles, Newark, Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, Toronto and Washington DC. The truck then made several cross-country test runs at costs comparable to diesel operation.

Hosted by General Holland "Howlin' Mad Smith, the gritty UNCOMMON VALOR TV series documents the U.S. Marines in combat in the Pacific theater during World War II and then during the Korean conflict. Created by Bill Karn, a Hollywood TV director best known for his work on "Gang Busters", "Uncommon Valor" was one of several military-inspired shows of its era (including "Navy Log", "Victory at Sea" and "Silent Service") that celebrated the WWII generation and their exploits.

This episode from 1957 looks at the battle for Bougainville and Rabaul in 1945. The Marine Corps. outmaneuvers the Japanese to isolate Rabaul, the key to the defense of the Central Pacific.

Bougainville, situated at the northern end of the Solomon Islands, is the largest island in the chain, and in 1945 was part of the Australian mandated territory of New Guinea. It is 190 kilometres in length and 60 kilometres at its widest, and in March 1942 was occupied by the Japanese. On Bougainville, the Japanese established a series of bases and airfields as defensive outposts for the large and heavily-defended Japanese naval base at Rabaul, on the nearby island of New Britain. The most significant of these was located at Buin, on the southernmost tip of the island, which was occupied by the Japanese 17th Army.

The US Marines landed on Bougainville at the beginning of November 1943 as part of an overall strategy that had been developed to isolate Rabaul. The strategy of "island hopping" was thus evolved, in which strongly defended Japanese positions were bypassed and isolated by establishing Allied airfields and bases to provide the cruicial air and sea support that was needed to cut off the enemy at bases such as Rabaul.

In late 1944, the Australians replaced American troops on Bougainville and after initially advancing into the interior of t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/489619d7-03bc-46c4-afca-52896763ffca/7cdd1320-e470-45d2-a742-503a54f535b2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9XSrtHFpBywDSEMgu8e5Lb</video:player_loc><video:duration>1576</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T17:57:44.655Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tHbb16j3hW8cw2jxfdQVnQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/32e52cb1-5124-4b21-a9f3-beb4032f1a78.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1924 FELIX THE CAT CARTOON  " FELIX OUT OF LUCK " (SILENT FILM) XD10654c</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

"Felix Out of Luck" is a 1924 Felix the Cat cartoon, directed by Otto Messmer and produced by Pat Sullivan. This version is silent and was created for home use. The plot centers around a confident yet hungry Felix, who believes he has lunch waiting for him at his house -- only to discover that's not the case.  

Felix the Cat is a funny-animal cartoon character created in the silent film era. The anthropomorphic black cat with his black body, white eyes, and giant grin, coupled with the surrealism of the situations in which his cartoons place him, combine to make Felix one of the most recognized cartoon characters in film history. Felix was the first character from animation to attain a level of popularity sufficient to draw movie audiences.

Patrick Peter "Pat" Sullivan (22 February 1885 – 15 February 1933) was an Australian-American cartoonist, pioneer animator, and film producer best known for producing the first Felix the Cat silent cartoons.

Otto James Messmer (August 16, 1892 – October 28, 1983) was an American animator, best known for his work on the Felix the Cat cartoons and comic strip produced by the Pat Sullivan studio.

The extent of Messmer's role in the creation and popularity of Felix is a matter of ongoing dispute, particularly as he only laid his claim to the character after the death of Sullivan, who until that time had received the credit.

At 2:16 the steel tower is erected. At 2:30 the drill is ready for the drilling crew and at 2:40 drilling commences. At 3:24 a drill bit heads down into the shaft. At 4:05 nitroglycerin is prepared for "shooting the well." This is a form of fracking that utilizes explosives -- using an iron container about the size of a large thermos, nitro, stick a blasting cap on it, send it down the well, and then send a weight down to detonate it. BOOM. At 6:07 a gusher is produced. At 6:30 pumpjacks are seen pumping oil into receiving tanks.At 7:40 the electrical plant powering everything is shown. At 8:25 a gas plant is shown.

The film opens with a Skyhawk firing the 20mm ammo used in the Mark 4 Gun Pod. The jet flies through the air and strafes the ground. The Skyhawk taxis to a stop on a runway carrying the gun pods (01:14). The plane’s crew remove a gun pod from the plane. An illustration is used to show the structural layout of the Mk 4 (02:08). The Skyhawk armed with the Mk 4 pods takes off. The film shows the actual gun on a platform--outside of the pod (02:51). Graphics are again used to show the anatomy of the gun itself. Viewers see the two barrels and Mk 11 gun with its revolving chambers, as well as how the revolver works firing rounds, the yoke pivoting, and its booster recoil. A man takes off the loader frame to point out the gun’s ejectors and sprocket set (07:04). Two men feed ammunition belts into the loading dock of the Mk 4. They close the access doors and latches then connect the pod electrically to the aircraft. An A-7 Corsair II flies through the sky firing the Mk 4 (09:30). A view from inside the cockpit shows the armament control, charge clear switch, and ready safe switch (10:42). Illustrations are used to show how the gun pod responds to the cockpit controls and how the trigger sends fire voltage relays through the control box to the first fire barrel. There is more footage of the Corsair flying and firing the gun pod. Another view from the cockpit shows how the pilot clears the guns from the cockpit controls. The film concludes with a plane firing the Mark 4 Gun Pod at a target.

This was the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific War of World War II. The 82-day-long battle lasted from early April until mid-June 1945. After a long campaign of island hopping, the Allies were approaching Japan, and planned to use Okinawa, a large island only 340 mi (550 km) away from mainland Japan, as a base for air operations on the planned invasion of Japanese mainland (coded Operation Downfall). Four divisions of the U.S. 10th Army (the 7th, 27th, 77th, and 96th) and two Marine Divisions (the 1st and 6th) fought on the island. Their invasion was supported by naval, amphibious, and tactical air forces.

The battle has been referred to as the "typhoon of steel" in English, and tetsu no ame ("rain of steel") or tetsu no bōfū ("violent wind of steel") in Japanese. The nicknames refer to the ferocity of the fighting, the intensity of kamikaze attacks from the Japanese defenders, and to the sheer numbers of Allied ships and armored vehicles that assaulted the island. The battle resulted in the highest number of casualties in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Based on Okinawan government sources, mainland Japan lost 77,166 soldiers, who were either killed or committed suicide, and the Allies suffered 14,009 deaths (with an estimated total of more than 65,000 casualties of all kinds). Simultaneously, 42,000–150,000 local civilians were killed or committed suicide, a significant proportion of the local population. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki together with the Soviet invasion of Manchuria caused Japan to surrender less than two months after the end of the fighting in Okinawa.

This silent film from the 1930s provides an overview of Singapore. It was made during the British Colonial era as the card at the start of the film makes clear. The film starts with a panning shot of the city/state at :44. At 1:58 a title card explains that the British Far Eastern Fleet is based here. At 2:21 are shots of busy streets with rickshaws being pulled by coolies wearing large brimmed hats. At 3:00 a policeman wearing a head scarf waves traffic onward. At 4:48 a title card mentions that a Chinese Temple and a Hindu Mosque occupy the same street in this multi-ethnic city. At 6:10 the Singapore River is seen that runs parallel to Alexandra Road and feeds into the Marina Reservoir in the southern part of Singapore. Many sampans and barges are visible. At 9:10 an eye is shown painted on a Chinese boat. At 9:40 Connaught Road the finest drive in the city is shown. This is actually Connaught Drive --  a one-way road linking Stamford Road to Fullerton Road on the northern side of the Singapore River within the Downtown Core in Singapore. On the left side of the road, it is Esplanade Park, and on the right is The Padang.  At 10:12 the WWI memorial is shown, and at 10:37 Victoria Memorial Hall and the municipal building is shown as well as St. George's Cathedral. At 11:22 the Governor's Mansion is shown and at 11:52 the famed Raffles Hotel. 

Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore is an island city-state in Southeast Asia. It lies one degree (137 kilometres or 85 miles) north of the equator, at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, with Indonesia's Riau Islands to the south and Peninsular Malaysia to the north. Singapore's territory consists of one main island along with 62 other islets. Since independence, extensive land reclamation has increased its total size by 23% (130 square kilometres or 50 square miles). The country is known for its trans...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a2cc3a40-065e-4f61-8188-3dcb2e202c81/57d2d956-f727-427e-9d57-d22f502bfb12-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/m6Yn7aVBRvYFwMjhkPnQJD</video:player_loc><video:duration>743</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T19:20:02.142Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iDYU41apGd8XVjnx6pE3An</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e9692880-f713-46f6-b7de-da8c60bbe81b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MIDWAY ATOLL &amp; WAKE ISLAND  1930s TRAVELOGUE  (INCOMPLETE)  23034</video:title><video:description>This fragmentary film about Midway Island and Wake Island dates to the pre-WWII era, when both  were being used as a stop-over by Pan Am Clipper seaplanes and as USA military installations. The film begins with images of the famous Midway Gooney (albatross) birds before showing some of the activities that awaited visitors to the island: swimming, boating, and fishing. At 3:12 a group of visitors takes the "shortest railway in the world"  -- a narrow gauge railroad on Wake Island (see below for story about this). At 4:30 the group fishes off Wake. At 6:50 exotic trigger fish are shown in an aquarium, as examples of the fish caught at Wake. 

On January 20, 1903, the United States Navy opened a radio station on Midway in response to complaints from cable company workers about Japanese squatters and poachers. Between 1904 and 1908, President Roosevelt stationed 21 Marines on the island to end wanton destruction of bird life and keep Midway safe as a U.S. possession, protecting the cable station.

In 1935, operations began for the Martin M-130 flying boats operated by Pan American Airlines. The M-130s island-hopped from San Francisco to China, providing the fastest and most luxurious route to the Far East and bringing tourists to Midway until 1941. Only the very wealthy could afford the trip, which in the 1930s cost more than three times the annual salary of an average American. With Midway on the route between Honolulu and Wake Island, the flying boats landed in the atoll and pulled up to a float offshore in the lagoon. Tourists transferred to a small powerboat that ferried them to a pier, then rode in "woodie" wagons to the Pan Am Hotel or the "Gooneyville Lodge", named after the ubiquitous "Gooney birds" (albatrosses).

Midway Atoll is roughly equidistant between North America and Asia. Midway Atoll is an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the United States. Midway continues to be the only island in the Hawaiian archipelago that is not part of the state of H...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8ef8f0e5-c0b4-4e9b-b3f6-4a40b34e62d1/84f115b1-bb52-4df0-82e0-27ebc2a8a5d1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iDYU41apGd8XVjnx6pE3An</video:player_loc><video:duration>639</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T19:22:10.145Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kjt5Je1EckgNghheq33jfL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/36eef37b-b2f9-46c4-bfcb-05468cdb067d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>INDUSTRY ON PARADE  DEBARKING TREES   CORNING GLASS     EASTMAN KODAK FACTORY ROCHESTER  NY 17274</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This short information technology educational film from Edutronics, Inc. and distributed by McGraw-Hill provides a brief overview of how basic file maintenance operates in the field of data processing. The film uses an animated flowchart to explain how basic file maintenance works and show the various steps of quality control checks for validity built into the data processing process. The film also features several photographs to accompany the chart. The film opens with a “big picture” look of how data processing works, mapping out the process using a flow chart. The process begins with the input of a “source document.” The flow chart goes through the following steps after the source document is discussed: “key punch,” “transaction cards,” “validity check,” “error messages” and “counts,” “sort,” “messages and counts,” “file maintenance,” “inspect counts,” “report preparation,” and “special files.” The film then shows several photographs of men and women working at a computer station processing data (05:14). The film reviews the entire sequence of how the basic file maintenance works through the “Principles of Data Processing” flowchart, ending the film.

Data processing is, generally, "the collection and manipulation of items of data to produce meaningful information." In this sense it can be considered a subset of information processing, "the change (processing) of information in any manner detectable by an observer." The term Data Processing (DP) has also been used to refer to a department within an organization responsible for the operation of data processing applications.

A very simple example of a data processing system is the process of maintaining a check register. Transactions— checks and deposits— are recorded as they occur and the transactions are summarized to determine a current balance. Monthly the data recorded in the register is reconciled with a hopefully identical li...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5144f5c6-1d20-4e36-a49c-13148a32f6a1/c2ce30b4-d821-4298-9c52-a26f055c689d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/b34ojey5JH6QZLwstKpztX</video:player_loc><video:duration>468</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T19:30:00.663Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/v5JVyXxR71VmA4gUUKdnXS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b7a432f3-6f20-4439-9e29-4d2f7d4d87bd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  KING EDWARD VIII   FAN DANCING  NC-4 &amp; FLYING BOATS  1925 COAL STRIKE 60084</video:title><video:description>This Yesterday’s Newsreel film (episode 30) offers the viewer “television highlights of the news of yesteryear” by providing vintage clips of famous people and events from the first half of the 20th century.

Produced in the early 1970s,  "Hook Down, Wheels Down" was one of the most comprehensive (and expensive) films made by the U.S. Navy. It covers the history and development of the U.S. aircraft carrier, and does so through interviews with many of the men who made it happen. While dozens of aircraft carriers are featured, it is the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) that takes center stage -- and the material shot on her deck looks like it is right out of "Top Gun". Shown in this film are very rare images of the first aircraft carrier USS Langley (CV-1) (formerly collier USS Jupiter AC-3).  The follow on vessels are widely featured including USS Lexington (CV-3) and the USS Yorktown (CV-5) in the Battle of Coral Sea. Also featured: USS Saratoga (CV-2), USS Enterprise (CV-6), USS Hornet (CV-8), USS Wasp (CV-7), USS Ranger (CV-4), USS Yorktown (CV-5), USS Essex (CV-9), USS Guadalcanal (CVE-60), the British carrier HMS Furious, the destroyer USS Zeilin (DD-313), and many other warships.   Various incidents are shown from Pearl Harbor, Midway, Coral Sea, the capture of the submarine U-505, the Marianas Turkey Shoot, the Doolittle Raid on Japan, and more.  Includes interviews or appearances by many WWII naval aviators and aces including Wade McClusky, John Jay Courtney, Billy Mitchell, Gerald Bogen, Leslie Generes, John S. Thatch (of "Thatch Weave" fame), Ensign George Gay, David Campbell (whose Minsi III appears in the film), Edward "Butch" O'Hare, Charles Lindbergh, Glenn Curtiss, Clark Gable and Wallace Beery.  Planes seen in the film include the Wright Brothers flier, biplanes, Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis, the NC-4 Flying Boat, Hellcat, Avenger, Corsair, Vindicator, Devastator, Wildcat, and Japanese Zero. The film shows how the aircraft carrier emerged from WWII not just as a ship but as a powerful symbol of modern naval power.

Mr. Tompkins in Wonderland is a short educational film from the University of Akron based on the story by George Gamow. The film uses Gamow’s story featuring the titular character Mr. C.J.H. Tompkins to explain the basics of space, time, and relativity. The film opens with a banking clerk sitting at his desk. The clerk, Mr. Tompkins, sits at his desk and reads a newspaper. He sees an advertisement for a public lecture on “Space, Time and Relativity” in the paper. Mr. Tompkins takes his seat in a lecture hall at a university—presumably on Akron’s campus (04:38). A professor speaks about the world of physics, focusing on the nature of space, time, and relativity (05:45). The professor uses a sketch of a train to explain velocity of light in relation to Earth and ether (09:56). He then writes the equation on a chalkboard that shows the relationship of velocity. Mr. Tompkins falls asleep at the lecture, then wakes up next to the professor on a park bench (14:25). The two men climb into a taxi and take a trip around the block, demonstrating the relativity of space. A boy on a bicycle crashes at a car sales lot (17:11). A model train runs on a track, then the film cuts to an actual train station where the two men wait for the arrival of a train (18:51). A young-looking man climbs off the train and is the grandfather of the professor—demonstrating the relativity of time. The men ride in a taxi at night down a street lined with street lights (21:38), as the professor talks about the speed of light. The film then cuts back to Mr. Tompkins sleeping in the lecture hall (22:48). The professor uses an overhead projector to illustrate Einstein’s theory of relativity. The professor shows an illustration of a rocket traveling into space with a scientist inside the pod (26:18). The film then cuts to Mr. Tompkins and the professor in “space,” an interstellar backdrop with “spa...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/61bd3b0b-4a1b-44b1-99fd-24ef3eeed0e1/954572e5-b4a2-4d13-bfc7-8431ab7ad2e1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/d51XFxTFpFkEghKk25pN44</video:player_loc><video:duration>2198</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T19:49:24.609Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hfq5QtvcvvCQzqmTtBPni9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bd1e5ef4-dae2-4389-82fb-73bfffeb3873.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LIVE AND LAND IN THE ARCTIC  PART 2 of 2   1943 PILOT SURVIVAL TRAINING FILM  23214</video:title><video:description>This 1943 War Department training film (T.F. 1-3403) instructs viewers on how to survive a crash landing in an arctic climate. The film follows an Army Air Forces pilot, Hardy, as he recalls his survival training, which is presented as an internal dialogue between the pilot and his instructor. The film’s second reel begins with Hardy fighting to get a tree out of the snow. He walks back to the plane and cuts out wire from the wing flaps. He takes the parachute and wire back to where his fire is (01:34). He uses the tree pole he wrestled free to make a center pole for a shelter. He uses more poles to create a sloped wall and covers it with spruce branches. The wind and snow begin to pick up as he finishes his shelter (04:05). He collects more tree boughs to pack down onto the floor of the shelter to serve as insulation. Hardy goes to light a cigarette with a match, but then he remembers to conserve his matches. Hardy takes off the nose of the plane and uses the cone as a pot to melt snow (06:06). As he melts snow, he unrolls the parachute to function as his sleeping bag (07:55). At night, he wakes up to the sound of wolves (09:26). Back at the base, the men divide up flight areas for the search (10:32). The film cuts back to the crash site where the plane is blanketed with snow. Hardy lights a smoke fire, mixing green and dry wood and adding oil. He finds a rabbit run and sets a snare with wire from the plane (12:48). Hardy dusts snow off his plane to assist any search. Hardy makes a windbreak for his shelter (15:24). The film shows Hardy drying his boots and socks over the heat of his fire, further insulating his shelter with snow, and making improvised snowshoes (17:06). He snowshoes to his snare, where he finds a rabbit. He eats the stewed meat at his shelter. Hardy uses tree branches to write out a large SOS on the snow (19:32). He hears what appears to be a Martin B-26 Marauder (or a B-17) flying overhead, and he waves at the airplane. The pilots see Hardy an...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/83957926-b979-4006-a3ed-a6446cb9a8fe/27682cde-f886-4e96-a962-c09be7aefe70-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hfq5QtvcvvCQzqmTtBPni9</video:player_loc><video:duration>1747</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T19:53:29.294Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kkNwR3oDzEM7fKRnGnmq5c</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/036ba0b4-33c7-4cc5-a6f6-42f750a58eb4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LIVE AND LAND IN THE ARCTIC  PART 1 of 2   1943 PILOT SURVIVAL TRAINING FILM  89904</video:title><video:description>This 1943 War Department training film (T.F. 1-3403) instructs viewers on how to survive a crash landing in an arctic climate. The film follows an Army Air Forces pilot, Hardy, as he recalls his survival training, which is presented as an internal dialogue between the pilot and his instructor. The film opens with footage of a plane flying over snow-capped mountain peaks. A man lies dead in the snow (00:44). The film then cuts to an Army Air Forces briefing room where an officer talks to pilots about the essential gear to carry when flying in arctic regions. The officer talks about their upcoming mission. A B-17 Flying Fortress and what appears to be several Curtiss P-40 Warhawks fly over snow-capped peaks (03:03). One of the P-40s’ engine starts to give out. Hardy’s radio antenna is iced over, and he cannot radio his squadron for help. The pilot goes to bail out of his plane (05:45), but the words of his instructor, saying to stay with the plane if possible, ring out and he stays with the plane. He makes an emergency landing in an opening with some trees (06:42). He climbs out of the upside-down plane and takes in his surroundings. Hardy leaves his pack on the plane and trudges through the snow, but he soon returns to his plane. The pilot of the B-17 realizes Hardy is missing (09:53), and he circles the large aircraft back around. Back at the crash site, Hardy gets out his pocket knife and matches. He opens up a compartment in his plane and takes out a screwdriver to collect oil from the plane (11:59). Hardy looks for dead wood to make a fire.

Created by famed photographer Tex Helm and his wife Grace, "A Pictorial Voyage Through The Straits of Magellan" shows a trip through the treacherous waters of Cape Horn. The film likely dates to 1940 when Helm served aboard the schooner Bear, which was Admiral Richard E. Byrd's flagship during his Antarctic expedition. Byrd is seen at 1:35 on deck with his dog. At 2:15 the Straights of Magellan are seen. At 9:12 a "nomad Indian" visits the ship at anchor. At 10:57 the ship enters the Narrows, the most dangerous part of the passage. At 12:40 the Bear heads out to sea, having transited the passage. 

Ennis C. "Tex" Helm worked for the Daily Oklahoman as a photographer and once set a world's record by photographing Carlsbad Caverns National Park with 2,400 flashbulbs, died Sunday at his New Mexico home at the age of 79.

In the early 1930s, the news photographer's Oklahoma experience ranged from chasing Bonnie and Clyde through the southwest to taking shots of early space flight tests for the U.S. government.

Later, Helm moved to New York and Chicago and was credited with being the second newsman on the scene of the infamous St. Valentine's Day massacre. His career expanded into newsreels, a move that took him around the world seven times and included him on the expeditions of Erle Stanley Gardner and Adm. Richard Byrd.

The Strait of Magellan (Spanish: Estrecho de Magallanes), also called the Straits of Magellan, is a navigable sea route in southern Chile separating mainland South America to the north and Tierra del Fuego to the south. The strait is the most important natural passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

This World War II-era British training film, produced by Byron Pictures, Ltd., shows the importance of waiting for a target to move into the ideal range of a series of guns in order to have the best shot possible. The film covers the defensive and offensive firing of a Thompson submachine gun, a standard rifle (appears to be a Lee-Enfield rifle), a Bren light machine gun, the Boys Anti-Tank Rifle, and the anti-tank Ordnance QF 2-pounder by giving scenarios of incorrectly firing too soon followed by a scenario of correctly firing the various guns when the targets are in the most desired range to effectively shoot to kill. The film opens with footage of WWII and Nazi forces driving tanks and moving artillery. The film superimposes images of featured weapons, showing a Thompson submachine gun, the Bren gun, the anti-tank rifle, and the rifle. The first scenario of the film shows a unit in a foxhole across an open field surrounded by woods and bush. There is a panning shot of the field. The British troops sit in a foxhole (02:07). A corporal examines his range card. German troops emerge from the woods (03:08), and the British troops fire their rifles, missing the Nazis. The corporal explains the range to his men in the foxhole (04:14). Two Germans leave the woods, and a British soldier aims his Bren machine gun at them. More Germans emerge from the woods and cross the field, moving closer to the position of the British troops. The corporal gives the order for rapid fire (07:24), and the soldier fires the Bren gun. He ceases fire, and the rest of the men fire their Lee-Enfield rifles at the German soldiers. Next, the film covers how to effectively use the anti-tank rifle. Viewers see the anti-tank rifle that fires .55 bullets (08:43). A light British tank sits idle, and a British sergeant explains how to angle a penetrating shot with the anti-tank rifle. An anti-t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0d615fc8-383a-4ab6-b173-2d6cd7bea864/7d53264e-4712-4bad-836c-ee0f88e1afa9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2DQdGCyh46zQo8XF9N6RTb</video:player_loc><video:duration>2105</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T20:27:31.980Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aeQfucs6FwqwhfSqmXaC3v</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/65b88ae9-b3b2-4dbc-9b61-c427c092ffe9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1927 " BERLIN: SYMPHONY OF A GREAT CITY "  WALTER RUTTMAN CITY SYMPHONY GENRE FILM  PART 1 12744</video:title><video:description>Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Grosstadt) is a short 1927 silent film directed by Walter Ruttmann and gives viewers a look at an average day of Germany’s capital city during the interwar years.

The Ears and Hearing is a 1950 educational film from Encyclopaedia Britannica Films, Inc., produced by Warren P. Everote, that shows how the human ear hears sound, the structure of the ear, how the ear transmits sound waves to the brain, and common causes of hearing impairment. The film opens with a group of people standing and facing in the same direction. A car stops at a railroad crossing. A woman talks on the phone, and a pilot speaks on a radio. A bell rings (01:26), and graphics are used to show how sound waves travel to the ear. Viewers see a man’s ear, then an animated illustration of the ear and ear drum, which shows how the ear bones work. There is footage that gives a magnified look at a person’s middle ear and vibrating ear drum (02:48). An even closer look shows the ear drum and hammer. The middle ear bones sit on a black cloth and are contrasted with the head of an ordinary pin. An illustration depicts the inner ear (04:19). The film shows the anatomy of the cochlea and how different pitch sounds impact different parts of the cochlea. Additional animation is used to show how the auditory nerve sends nerve impulses to the brain, completing the process of hearing (06:03). Images are used to show how things such as ear wax, air pressure in the middle ear, or infections from adenoids can cause hearing impairment. A man wears a hearing aid (09:10), and he adjusts the volume on the tuner. The film ends with a shot of people sitting in a theatre.

The ear is the organ of hearing and, in mammals, balance. In mammals, the ear is usually described as having three parts—the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The outer e...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c7cc7b10-1147-4e76-b4fc-523cc71be627/bf6fb5a0-37aa-4b26-8293-ef8d7bb6bd8c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qEYBBtQ6TbLZRjzBUpxoiM</video:player_loc><video:duration>600</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T20:39:28.068Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/k6NepYAtHjBZKLQbsrC9AW</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d3f5b36b-55ed-4d7c-a6b2-b95acdbe0132.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s HOME MOVIE  TRIP TO KETCHIKAN, ALASKA &amp; SEATTLE WATERFRONT  MV KALAKALA FERRY 17924</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

In 1923 the Yale University Press commissioned films based on the fifty volumes in their "Chronicles of America" book series. Ultimately, only fifteen episodes were produced. This film from 1924 entitled "The Pilgrims", traces the history of the Separatists of Scrooby, England, their escape to Amsterdam, and their eventual voyage on the Mayflower to the New World including the landing at Plymouth Rock (21:00). The film spans the years from 1608 to 1620 and tells some of the story of Capt. Miles Standish and the Native American known as Samoset. The hardships of the settlers are shown in a manner which, according to the subject guide, "reveals the simple faith of the Pilgrims and their devotion to the ideal of freedom of religious thought and expression."  The film was adapted by William Basil Courtney and directed by Edwin L. Hollywood. 

The cast includes Robert Gaillard, Harry Simpson, John Hopkins, Morgan Thorpe, Bessie Remo, Anna Beecher, James Murray and Arthur Donaldson, among others.

This 16mm motion picture was created to promote the new Bell &amp; Howell Autoload 16mm film projectors and show off the company's entire production line -- from high end to low end and everything in between: "A Full Horizon in Motion". The film begins by discussing some of the projector components such as the "shuttle" (:50) which pulls down the film via the sprocket holes. At 1:27 the loop restorer is shown. Also shown at 2:30 is the solid state amplifier, which was quite innovative in its day, and rack and pinion focusing by turning a knob (instead of the lens). At 3:20 the manual load Bell &amp; Howell "slot ready" Model 1580 is shown. At 3:40 footage is shown of test participants loading the Bell &amp; Howell projectors. At 4:30 a child is shown loading the Bell &amp; Howell slot load. At 6:00 the 566 and model 567 high intensity projectors are shown. The 1579 manual load projector, a low cost unit, is shown at 6:33 along with the autoload 1585, a favorite for classroom use. The lightweight 1590 is shown at 7:00. The 1592 is shown at 7:12. At 7:56 the innovative "still" mode of the 1592 is shown and at 8:14 the "direct-a-motion" feature which allows slow speed projection. 

Bell and Howell is a U.S.-based services organization and former manufacturer of motion picture machinery, founded in 1907 by two projectionists, and was originally headquartered in Wheeling, Illinois. The company is now headquartered in Durham, North Carolina, and currently provides services for automated equipment in enterprise-level companies.

Many of the projectors shown in this film remain beloved by 16mm film collectors and users, although some B&amp;H models require replacement of the infamous "worm gear" to operate longterm.

This 1972 NASA documentary on the flight of Apollo 16 includes film footage from the mission’s launch, lunar landing, and in the “moon buggy” before finally returning the crew (astronauts John W. Young, Thomas K. Mattingly, II, and Charles M. Duke, Jr.) to Earth. Apollo 16 was the fifth moon landing of Project Apollo, and the 10th manned mission in the Apollo program. It was the second mission to utilize a Lunar Rover (Lunar Roving Vehicle, LRV) during lunar EVAs (moonwalks). The film shows the launch (mark  02:56), landing (09:43), and the three lunar traverses in the highland region of the moon, near the crater Descartes. Includes an astronaut's eye view from the Rover, lunar Grand Prix, discovery of the house-sized rock, lunar lift-off, and EVA 173,000 miles above Earth. Microphones and cameras in Mission Control record the emergency problem solving during the pre-landing crisis and the reactions of scientists on Earth as the astronauts explore the Moon.

Young and Duke spent 71 hours—just under three days—on the lunar surface, during which they conducted three extra-vehicular activities or moonwalks, totaling 20 hours and 14 minutes. The pair drove the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), the second produced and used on the Moon, 26.7 kilometers (16.6 mi). On the surface, Young and Duke collected 95.8 kilograms (211 lb) of lunar samples for return to Earth, while Command Module Pilot Ken Mattingly orbited in the Command/Service Module (CSM) above to perform observations. Mattingly spent 126 hours and 64 revolutions in lunar orbit. After Young and Duke rejoined Mattingly in lunar orbit, the crew released a subsatellite from the Service Module (SM). During the return trip to Earth, Mattingly performed a one-hour spacewalk to retrieve several film cassettes from the exterior of the Service Module (12:40 mark).

One of Southern California's first motorcycle clubs, The Psychos (also known as Los Psychos) formed in San Bernardino after WWII and quickly developed a reputation for toughness. While The Psychos became known for some of their community activities -- including supporting military veterans and participating in events to promote the preservation of Route 66 -- an offshoot of the club known as Vatos MC has a more notorious history.

Shot in the 1970s by a proud member of the club, this silent home movie documents a trip to the San Francisco Bay area and a ride across the Golden Gate Bridge (2:17). Various customized bikes are shown including some of the club's most distinctive choppers.

One of Southern California's first motorcycle clubs, The Psychos (also known as Los Psychos) formed in San Bernardino after WWII and quickly developed a reputation for toughness. While The Psychos became known for some of their community activities -- including supporting military veterans and participating in events to promote the preservation of Route 66 -- an offshoot of the club known as Vatos MC has a more notorious history.

Shot in the 1970s by a proud member of the club, this silent home movie documents a trip to the San Francisco Bay area. It starts with shots on the Sausalito side of the Golden Gate Bridge before moving to Fisherman's Wharf (1:47) and scenes on I-5 (2:25) on the way back to SoCal.Various customized bikes are shown including some of the club's most distinctive choppers (2:39).

This short 1970s film from Merck &amp; Co., Inc. highlights some of the advances in medicine that have come as a result of developments in NASA’s space program. The film opens with an astronaut spinning in a simulator. Another astronaut experiences simulated zero-gravity. Astronauts in space suits work outside of a space shuttle (01:28). Dr. Charles Berry, Director of the Life Sciences Program at NASA and the astronauts’ physician, speaks to camera about his role at the control center for the mission (02:11). Footage shows astronauts in a space shuttle somersaulting, followed by a space capsule parachuting into the ocean. A doctor uses video conferencing technology to talk to a patient at Massachusetts General Hospital from a remote clinic (04:22); using a joystick, the remote doctor operates a camera to take a look at the patient’s mouth and throat. Astronauts drive a rover on the moon (07:18). A man holds a small firefly in the palm of his hand (07:50). An enzyme from the firefly is used by NASA for the rapid detection of bacteria: viewers see researchers using an automatic flash analyzer developed from the enzyme for rapid detection. A man shows a small capsule that, once swallowed, records body temperature (08:44); the patient swallows the small capsule. There is a close-up of the capsule. The patient rides a stationary bicycle so researchers can test temperature increases measured by the capsule. A female patient lays on a table for a polyfoam x-ray.

This post-World War II training film (Issue No. 90) shows what guns are effective in delivering firepower against the German pillboxes by testing various guns on pillboxes at the Army’s Aberdeen Proving Ground. The film opens with an officer speaking to the camera about the contents on the film. Viewers see fortified pillboxes at the Aberdeen Proving Ground (01:06). The film shows the Siegfried Line with Nazi pillboxes, followed by an aerial view of the line. Back at Aberdeen, the film shows the different types of pillboxes. Men fire an M2 Machine Gun (Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun) on a pillbox. An anti-tank field gun, the 37-mm Gun M3, fires M51 shot at Pillbox CF2 (03:43). The Bofors 40-mm antiaircraft Gun M1 mounted on carriage M2 fires M81 armor-piercing rounds on the same pillbox (05:07). Viewers see tracer fire on the concrete bunker from one of the shots. A man measures the dispersion of the rounds and the craters created from the firepower (07:45), and he records the damage inside the pillbox. A 57-mm Gun M1 fires M70 rounds at Pillbox EF1 (08:19). The combo penetrates five feet of concrete. M61 with fuse-detonating M66A1 shells are fired from a 75-mm tank Gun M3 at Pillbox CF2 (11:09), the same gun used on M3 Lee and M4 Sherman tanks; it takes 2 minutes and 15 rounds to pierce the pillbox’s five feet of concrete. A man measures the damage on pillbox CF2. Next, the film shows a tank firing high-explosive M61 shells from the 75-mm gun on Pillbox AF3 (12:35). A 76-mm M1 tank gun fires M62 shells at Pillbox EF1, and the ensuing damage is recorded. The same gun fires M62 shells on Pillbox BF2 (15:24).

The start of the film shows the elaborate parade with various floats. At :52 the air races are seen with the Bendix towers. At 1:16 German pilot Ernst Udet's U12 Flamingo biplane marked D-822, thrills the crowd. At 3;21 the Flower Pageant, another parade, is shown. The date is August 24, 1929. At 4:14 the parking lot for the races is shown -- packed with visitors. At 5:22 the film starts to show the activities of Q.R.M., the radio club which handled many of the scoring and reporting aspects of the event. At 5:40 the master control gang is shown. (Incidentally, Q.R.M. in radio parlance means "man-made interference.")  HAM radio club W8BXB operated the radio equipment seen at 6:10 and following.  At 7:09 one of the radio pylons is shown in detail. At 7:24 heaps of dry batteries are shown, which powered the radios. At 8:40 as the air races commence, radio operators call in the positions, and fouls, of the various contestant aircraft. 

At 13:30 the dirigible USS Los Angeles is shown arriving at the air races. At 13:30 the "high hats" corps of Army fliers is shown. At 14:03 three biplanes pass overhead, with two garlands strung between them. At 14:13 Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne Morrow Lindbergh are seen at the event. Lindy hand starts his plane's propeller. Lindy poses for the cameras at 15:06 with a group of Army fliers. At 15:30 the man standing to his left is possibly Charles Rosendahl of the USS Los Angeles. At 15:40 a GoodYear blimp flies overhead. This is the Defender, a successor to the famed "Pilgrim" -- GoodYear's first blimp. 

The film ends with shots of the Q.R.M. team including President J.P. Turner. At 17:00 some of the men drink a toast at a job well done while the "radio widows" look on.

This silent, raw footage shows the atomic test known as Climax which occurred on June 4, 1953 as part of Operation Upshot Knothole. Operation Upshot–Knothole was a series of eleven nuclear test shots conducted in 1953 at the Nevada Test Site as part of Desert Rock. The test series was notable as containing the first time an atomic artillery shell was fired (shot Grable), the first two shots (both fizzles) by University of California Radiation Laboratory—Livermore, and for testing out some of the thermonuclear components that would be used for the massive thermonuclear series of Operation Castle. One primary device (RACER) was tested in thermonuclear system mockup assemblies of TX-14, TX-16, and TX-17/TX-24, to examine and evaluate the behavior of radiation cases and the compression of the secondary geometries by the primary's x-rays prior to full-scale testing during Castle. Following RACER's dodgy performance, the COBRA primary was used in the emergency capability ALARM CLOCK, JUGHEAD, RUNT I, RUNT II thermonuclear devices, as well as in the SHRIMP device. RACER IV (as redesigned and proof-tested in the Simon test) was employed as primary for the ZOMBIE, RAMROD and MORGENSTERN devices.

Climax was a test of a boosted MK-7 device, intended to be used as a primary in Castle. Initially it was intended only for the TX-15. After RACER's inconsistent behavior it was opted for all "emergency capability" devices instead. The bomb detonated 320 ft (98 m) NW of target. Composite implosion system in a Type D pit. Used Cyclotol 75/25 explosive mixture. B-36 bomber air drop, the detonation was 172 feet west, and 232 feet north of the designated ground zero. This was a proof test of the Mk-7 high yield, light weight fission bomb, and dropped from a B-36 bomber. The diameter of the bomb was 30 inches, making it suitable for external carriage by high speed fighter-bombers. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/61f1da03-9bd7-42d1-aa42-87a6f0ad6e08/93748ee2-c282-4320-bcd6-b8319b866784-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/d6um4YbxrpEZj9vzjBhqe7</video:player_loc><video:duration>505</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T22:19:18.199Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dv2P7u8G6dLy3YH5THo2ff</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/699cdc5f-139f-449e-b508-b5e5d610aaf1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CONSTRUCTION OF GLEN CANYON DAM LAKE POWELL PAGE ARIZONA "BRIDGE TO THE FUTURE"  VERS. 2 15444</video:title><video:description>This 1960s film from International Harvester and the United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation gives viewers a look at the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam in northern Arizona. The film (possibly a response to the advocacy work of the Sierra Club) highlights the engineering challenges builders had to overcome as well as the benefits to be gained of the dam on the Colorado River. The film opens with footage of mountain men and Navajo gathering for the 1959 opening of a steel bridge over the canyon. Viewers see the initial construction of the dam (00:53). Narrator Chet Huntley speaks to the camera about the Federal Reclamation Act and the construction of federal dams (01:48). A topographical map shows Glen Canyon near the Arizona-Utah border. Huntley shows a scaled model of the canyon with the dam and the bridge. The dam, to be built by the Merritt-Chapman &amp; Scott Corporation, not only creates Lake Powell but also is the cause for the establishment of Page, AZ. Viewers see the desert landscape near the canyon (04:50). Navajo tend to their sheep. Contractors built the bridge to transport men and supplies across the canyon (05:50). However, other transportation methods are developed, including open-air cable cars, also known as “monkey slides,” and a highline suspension tram that carries a truck across the canyon. Chet Huntley shows a model of the canyon and river without the dam and bridge (07:16). The Colorado River flows through the canyon (08:30). Footage shows mountain snow melting, leading to spring runoff. A man repels down the cliffside of the canyon (09:27). Rock is dynamited.

The film opens with parachutists jumping out of Douglas C-47 Skytrains. New recruits stand at the school’s training grounds (00:48). The film recaps Stage “A” Training: the men do physical training, including ab exercises, pushups, tumbling (02:25), and relay games. Men climb ropes in a gymnasium (02:54). The film then moves to training during the second week, “B” Stage, and features a panning shot of the training grounds with the various structures used to train men to parachute (03:24). Men climb up and through a “trainnasium.” In a mock plane (04:24), men learn how to put on a parachute harness. Men practice putting on their parachutes. An instructor explains the function of the static line, and a jumper hops out of the mock fuselage. Several instructors sit on a platform and demonstrate hooking up the static line and checking parachute packs (06:45). The trainees sound off on their equipment check in the mock plane, then they take turns pivoting at the door and jumping out. Slow-motion footage shows the proper way to jump out of the plane (08:44). Men experience jumping out of a plane by jumping off a tower and riding down a zip line while holding the proper position for deployment and counting to make sure the chute has deployed (09:22). Men experience what it feels like to parachute in a harness in a suspended harness rig (10:40). A parachutist manipulates his parachute to land near a truck in a field. On the suspended harnesses rig, the men learn how to slip forward, right and left, perform body turns, and assume the proper landing position. Men practice landing on landing trainers (13:27), sliding down then releasing onto the ground and tumbling.

This silent promotional film demonstrating the U.S. Air Force's ballistic missile capabilities was shot at Vandenburg Air Force Base. The film starts with footage of a Titan II crew in a missile procedures trainer (thanks to Dr. David Stumpf, author of the "Titan II" book from the University of Arkansas Press, with help figuring this out. He says you can tell because of the cement block wall behind the guy turning the second key). At :42 keys are inserted into the readiness and launch control and -- it being a "no lone zone" -- keys are turned simultaneously to authorize a launch. At :57 the silo door swings back and the launch begins. It is likely that the footage of the missile rising in the silo is different than once out of the silo since (again -- according to Dr. Stumpf) the missile in the silo had what were called belly bands and the missile that is clear of the silo does not. Dr. Stumpf believes the missile shown rising out of the silo at 1:53 is likely N-22. At 3:32 the missile stages over the Pacific and at 3:34 the lower stage drops away. (N.B. if it is N-22 then the date of the launch is 20 June 1963, airframe SN 61-2743).

At 4:30 the Minuteman launch facility is seen. The missile being shown launched here is a Minuteman IB according to Stumpf, who identifies it that way because the aft the skirt at the very aft end of the missile is cylindrical and Minuteman IA was flared. The re-entry vehicle looks like a Mark 11. This launch was also at Vandenberg.

Notes from our friends at the Computer History Museum channel: the computer console shown at 2:30 is likely the console of an IBM 705 Electronic Data Processing Machine (EDPM), a high-speed mainframe of the 1950’s. It was discontinued by IBM in 1960, as faster machines became available. Many IBM 705’s continued in use during the 1960’s.

Chatter Bug (T.F. 30-1314) is a U.S. War Department training film (T.F. 30-1314) that has been adapted from a British training film. The film uses several scenarios with British soldiers to show examples of how careless talk can end up providing useful information to the enemy. The film stresses the best way to prevent that from happening is to keep one’s mouth shut. The film opens with a British soldier in a living room talking with his mother. In a shop, the mother talks to the clerk, who then presumably passes the information on to another customer, and so on, demonstrating the ability of a conversation to unintentionally travel. A drunk British soldier is escorted out of a bar. He is then shown working on a motorcycle, chatting away about orders (02:27). Two women shop for produce on a city street while talking about news of their husbands’ deployments (03:28). The film shows two soldiers, one an officer or possibly a member of the Royal tank regiment, talking in a pub. A British officer dines with a woman at a high-end restaurant; he carelessly reveals military photographs that the waitress takes note of (04:25). British troops are shown milling around in a North African town (05:02). British troops enter Benghazi to cheering Libyans (05:38); the film then shows the people of Benghazi lining the streets to welcome the Nazis. At a North African café, British officers chat. In a makeshift infirmary in the basement of a building (06:57), an eastern European woman gives a cigarette to a wounded British soldier; the soldiers do not think she understands English, but the woman is then shown tying a message to a homing pigeon and sending the bird off. The film concludes by recapping the scenarios in which careless chatter has the potential to provide information to the enemy.

This 1942 War Department training film (No. 11-554) is one of a series of driving and vehicle maintenance training films produced by the Signal Corps during the war. This film shows how to navigate difficult driving conditions and features several variations of the GMC CCKW 2-1/2-ton truck as well as the Dodge ½-ton WC car (the first “Jeep”). The film opens with a several soldiers watching as what appears to be a Dodge ½-ton WC command/reconnaissance car drives through a muddy field, and the occupants must get out to help push the vehicle free of the mud. What appears to be a GMC CCKW 2-1/2-ton 6x6 truck gets bogged down in mud (01:30). A soldier gets out and uses a shovel to clear the wheels. A soldier guides the leading vehicle of a vehicle column and removes rocks from the path. The guide notifies the lead truck driver of a small ditch, and the film shows how the driver can successfully cross the ditch. Another GMC CCKW 6x6 crosses a larger ditch after a soldier shovels out some of the bank (03:55). A driver drives a similar truck through a mud hole and up a steep grade. A truck is stuck in a mud hole (05:31). A truck drives on a dirt road, straddling deep ruts. Another GMC CCKW 6x6 drives across boggy ground (06:52), avoiding existing tracks. The film then shows a Dodge ½-ton WC command/reconnaissance car skid in slow motion as it turns onto a paved road (07:25). Trucks drive up a steep slope, as men with blocks walk beside the vehicle ready to block the wheels if there is a stall. Footage shows inside the cabin where the driver applies the foot and hand break during a stop on a steep hill (09:18). The film shows the truck driving down a hill, then a driver making a tight, hairpin turn. The same maneuver is shown with the truck towing a small trailer, then an example of the truck pulling a two-axle t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6927d0f1-aaf3-4738-9e78-e48c6e89db6b/23c7b977-0da6-4133-9f0c-86797e59f16e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dZ8HJLencR7stjVp9SUsy4</video:player_loc><video:duration>1053</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T22:57:43.391Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nJHs7CA5zapNV9GiuJB1YL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4111404a-addf-487e-aac0-99dfceb74e11.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NAVAJO &amp; PUEBLO INDIANS ARTS &amp; CRAFTS  1940s DOCUMENTARY FILM  NATIVE AMERICANS  SILVERSMITH 87334</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Arts and Crafts of the Southwest Indians is a short 1940 film that looks at the work produced by the artisans of the Navajo and Pueblo people. The film is broken up into two parts (Navajo and Pueblo), and shows viewers the production processes of crafting rugs, silver jewelry, woven baskets, and pottery. In the first part of the film, viewers see a Navajo man working on a hogan and herding goats. Women work on vertical looms weaving rugs, and a man walks into the Pine Springs Trading Post. Sam Begay looks for a stone to use as a silver mold (01:45); once he finds it, he cuts the stone and carves the design into the rock. Begay melts the silver over a small fire (02:44) then pours the molten silver into the mold. He removes the mold and files the silver cast. Viewers then see Luke Yazzi help his wife, Irene, set up her vertical loom (03:42). Irene wanders near their home, looking for herbs to use for dyes. She returns and separates the juniper root from the other herbs to create a red dye. She dyes yarn in the dye. Luke saddles his horse while his wife works on a rug (05:10). A woman combs wool for spinning. Another woman creates a spool to be used for creating actual yarn. The Yazzis load the rugs and silver jewelry into a horse-drawn carriage and head out for Pine Springs Trading Post. Irene gives the rug to the trader, Sammie Day, who examines the rug (08:21). They receive their pawned silver belts plus the money from the sale. A group of Navajo watch as a plane lands (09:28), bring a white trader hired by the Tribal Council at Window Rock to be the manager of the Arts and Crafts Guild. The white trader examines the new rugs and silver pieces, then he collects the goods and takes off from the rural airstrip. In “Part 2: Pueblo Indians,” the film gives a panoramic shot of the desert landscape near the New Mexico-Arizona border (10:47). Viewers see the Hopi village Shungopavi (11:11)....</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b006b1df-dc21-4852-9ad9-f56de13f3ab4/5e5c847f-75a0-43af-97a6-65f464235c5b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nJHs7CA5zapNV9GiuJB1YL</video:player_loc><video:duration>1262</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T23:00:55.945Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/f56Wcx3MVQwJpPJiKfm5KL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e649873b-d5b1-47c6-b234-6e74e08c04ba.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1951 "A DAY WITH THE F.B.I.

This short 1951 film from Reader’s Digest On The Screen and Columbia Pictures gives viewers a look at the work of the FBI as they work with local law enforcement to solve crimes. The film shows several reenactments of agents working cases, as well as shots of the Department of Justice building, the FBI Academy and the training of new agents, the FBI’s mail sorting room and massive fingerprint files, and various forensic laboratories. The film opens with a shot of the Department of Justice building. Viewers see a mail truck bringing mail to FBI headquarters. In the mail room, men and women sort mail. Women run the switchboard for the FBI’s telephone system (01:26). Women file fingerprints on a large open floor of the building (02:19). An agent examines a rifle in the ballistics laboratory. Two men examine check forgeries at a desk (03:22). Another analyst examines handwriting samples. Another investigator compares types of thread (04:10). A technician puts a sample of dust in a spectrograph. The film then shows the FBI Academy (05:10); new recruits walk into a building at the Academy. The men sit during what appears to be an orientation. The men train in physical combat and the use of firearms—firing a Thompson machine gun (06:20). The trainees participate in a homicide simulation, examining a mock crime scene. FBI Director John Edgar Hoover sits at his desk and speaks with an agent or official (07:17). The film then shows brief reenactments of a homicide and burglary, before moving into the reenactments of three actual FBI cases.

Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Dating to 1948, this silent film "The Seals of the Sahara" is an early effort by Jacques Cousteau. It was shot in North Africa. Unlike many of the films Cousteau made in this era, this one does not rely primarily on underwater cameras or SCUBA gear. The plot of the film is fairly simple -- a Monk seal is taken from a sandy beach in Morocco, and then transported by ship to France where it becomes part of the exhibit at the Paris Zoo.

In this 1944 U.S. War Department training film (TF 8-2047), viewers see how World War II soldiers were instructed to administer first aid to soldiers wounded on the battlefield. The film uses reenactments of a variety of injuries to show how to apply a compress and a tourniquet, how to splint a broken leg, and how to care for wounds to the lung, head, and intestines. The film opens with shots of troops marching down a road next to a tank, artillery guns firing shells, and gunners firing machine guns. A soldier falls to the ground after taking a hit (01:30); he lifts his shirt to show a bullet wound on his side. Soldiers sit on the ground and watch a first aid training session. A soldier examines a gunshot wound to another soldier’s lower leg (03:04). He gets out a first aid kit and applies gauze on the injured soldier’s wound, wraps the wound, gives the injured soldier wound tablets, and then places the soldier’s gun as a marker to signal the wounded man’s location. In the next scenario, a lone soldier treats a gunshot wound to his forearm (05:30). Using his good hand, he takes applies a compress on the wound. He ties the dressing, takes his wound tablets, and then covers himself with his field jacket to help prevent shock. The following scenario shows a solider treating an injured soldier’s leg wound. The uninjured soldier applies a tourniquet to the injured man’s leg (07:48), using a scabbard to tighten the tourniquet. He covers the wounded man with a blanket. The film then reviews the importance of loosening the tourniquet every twenty minutes. In the following scenario, a soldier treats a wounded soldier’s broken leg. He uses his bayonet to cut the pant leg of the injured soldier. He splints the broken leg to the soldier’s good leg using a field jacket as a cushion between the two legs (12:00).

The angled flight deck was invented by Royal Navy Captain (later Rear Admiral) Dennis Cambell, as an outgrowth of design study initially begun in the winter of 1944-1945 when a committee of senior Royal Navy officers decided that the future of naval aviation was in jets, whose higher speeds required that the carriers be modified to "fit" the needs of jets. With this type of deck — also called a "skewed deck", "canted deck", "waste angle deck", or the "angle" — the aft part of the deck is widened and a separate runway is positioned at an angle from the centerline. The angled flight deck was designed with the higher landing speeds of jet aircraft in mind, which would have required the entire length of a centreline flight deck to stop. The design also allowed for concurrent launch and recovery operations, and allowed aircraft failing to connect with the arrestor cables to abort the landing, accelerate, and relaunch (or "bolter") without risk to other parked or launching aircraft.
 
The redesign allowed for several other design and operational modifications, including the mounting of a larger island (improving both ship-handling and flight control), drastically simplified aircraft recovery and deck movement (aircraft now launched from the bow and re-embarked on the angle, leaving a large open area amidships for arming and fueling), and damage control. Because of its utility in flight operations, the angled deck is now a defining feature of STOBAR and CATOBAR equipped aircraft carriers.

The angled flight deck was first tested on HMS Triumph by painting angled deck markings onto the centerline of the flight deck for touch and go landings.  This was also tested on the USS Midway the same year. Despite the new markings, in both cases the arresting gear and barriers were still aligned with the centerline of the original deck. From September to December 1952, the USS Antietam ha...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/787ad172-1953-4a35-82dd-cda6f1abc081/9fd59801-48bd-4e5e-aff5-39012de021d0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fSTqkh7RompFeD6XSCL33D</video:player_loc><video:duration>933</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T23:12:57.907Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kvBX7BdMdXwp5QNRB3fZck</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b883bf29-723b-4b2d-be6e-e440b66d4dd7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE ROAD BACK "  1960s U.S. FEDERAL PRISONS DOCUMENTARY   ATLANTA, GEORGIA  JAIL 17894</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

The children beg their parents for a piano of their own, only to be met with resistance from their father. “Martha needs a new refrigerator and I’ve had my eye on a new car … you can’t keep food in a piano or ride to work in one. I’m afraid we’re not rich enough for all those luxuries,” he laments at mark 03:52. But “modern production techniques” combined with “old-time craftsmanship” can make a piano affordable, the old neighbor counters at mark 04:45. By mark 05:35 the film launches into a narrative of how pianos are built, with footage showing how the once hand-crafted pieces can now be made in minutes using machinery. Each step of the process is captured by the camera with the narrator explaining the action. Engineers are shown at drawing boards at mark 09:50 designing not only piano cabinets but also carefully positioning strings and plates on paper before bringing them to life. Workers in a sound laboratory test a piano’s sound at mark 11:20, where its tone is analyzed and perfected. Painstaking detail of the piano-making process is shown as the film rolls and strings are shown being affixed to the finished cabinet at mark 19:22. Cabinets are finished and stained until a shiny new piano flashes on the screen at mark 22:25. “It’s an instrument that’s truly the heart of the home,” the elderly neighbor proclaims at mark 26:28 — a sales pitch that may be enough to convince the father to add one to his own home. 

The Rudolph Wurlitzer Company, usually referred to as simply Wurlitzer, is an American company started in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1853 by German immigrant Rudolph Wurlitzer. The company originally imported stringed, woodwind and brass instruments from Germany for resale in the U.S. Wurlitzer enjoyed initial success ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1622a216-09da-4ef6-893f-cc60e7c676e9/21632691-c584-4767-a78a-56b185248591-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3Jx2ehNSuoQ6Uyi7xMDpcX</video:player_loc><video:duration>1712</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T23:27:12.064Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1u65nvrzGhMSGQDso9hHJK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dfc7ab86-718a-476d-b6c0-2627e82ac85f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LETTER FROM ALASKA ESKIMOS &amp; NATIVE PEOPLES HISTORIC FILM 78554z (PRINT 2)</video:title><video:description>Made in 1957 by Northern Films, LETTER FROM ALASKA shows the Alaska of that era: its cities, people, industries, climate, the Alaska Railroad, and a review of the state's history from 1741 to the present.

This film uses the device of a reporter writing a letter about his life and travels in Alaska. At mark 0:30, he is seen typing his letter with a typewriter.

This silent film is from the top secret U.S. Air Force project known as "Black Spot" which began in December of 1965. The film was shot at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida where the program developed. Black Spot was intended to give the Air Force a self-contained night attack capability to seek out and destroy targets along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. In early-1966, the concept was approved by the Department of Defense and two Fairchild C-123K Providers (#54-691 and #54-698) were modified by E-Systems of Greenville, Texas to the redesignated NC-123K (often referred to as AC-123K) configuration. These aircraft are not to be confused with Spectre C-130 gunships of the same era -- although they are related.

As you can see in this film, the aircraft were equipped with a long, 57.75 inch nose fairing that housed an X-band forward-looking radar (8:00). Below and aft of the extended radome was a turret with Forward-Looking Infrared Radar (FLIR) (6:23), Low-Level Light Television (LLLTV) (7:11), and a laser range-finder/illuminator. Also, a low-level Doppler navigation radar and weapons release computer were installed.

The first aircraft (#54-691) was delivered to Eglin AFB, Florida in August 1967 and the second (#54-698), incorporating an AN/ASD-5 Black Crow direction finder set (engine ignition sensor), was delivered in February 1968.

Prior to deploying to Vietnam, the two aircraft were sent to Osan Air Base, South Korea to be evaluated against the high-speed infiltration boats used by North Korea to send agents into South Korea. The unit remained in Korea from 19 August 1968 to 23 October 1968, and were scheduled for a total of 57 missions. Upon completion of their Korean assignment, the unit was deployed to South Vietnam for a combat evaluation of the "Black Spot" weapons system.

It was in South Vietnam where the aircraft operated under the project name and callsig...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4efcffb6-a362-4c19-9834-26693d6ac7aa/7f7a640a-22bb-4eeb-bf0f-df2474647d1e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aKHPdv5okmcDC3pyMmB2oS</video:player_loc><video:duration>519</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T23:30:23.017Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eSNcdZL1rYjGjmdUxMtdzs</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/37065b72-7a06-4ac3-93c7-e458cbe5b5f2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA MANNED SPACE FLIGHT 1966 YEARBOOK  APOLLO PROGRAM   SATURN ROCKET TESTING XD10024</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This film segment from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, otherwise known as NASA, covers the manned space flight of 1966. At 0:20, metal machinery whirs along while the narrator begins a history of the primary objective of the US to develop capabilities for manned operations in space since 1961 (0:27-1:00). The Apollo manned lunar mission is described as a key element of this objective. Manned Gemini and Apollo missions are on the horizon, according to the film. The John F. Kennedy Space Center is described along with its programs and objectives (1:35-2:35). Data and astronomical phenomena are collected at this location in Florida. This film provides information about the flight crews and mission details that are ongoing during the 1960s. Starting at 03:22, footage from the Gemini missions is shown including the astronauts and images from outer space captured during the flights. Expanded capabilities on the ground are reflected with footage of command centers and NASA employees and flight crews working to collect new data and complete missions safely (3:35-4:20). At 4:30, the three main phases of Apollo are described as Saturn I, Apollo Saturn I-B, and Apollo Saturn V. Primary objectives including collecting environmental data are outlined (4:45-7:00). IBM was responsible for building the instrument unit and will be used in both Saturn I and Saturn V. North American Aviation built the command module and it serves as crew quarters and host of flight operations. Built by Grumman, the lunar module spacecraft will send two members of the flight crew to the moon. This film was created in 1966 ahead of further scheduled flights in 1967. The Marshall Space Flight Center and other facilities are mentioned and described from 12:00 until the segment ends.

The narrator marvels at the intricate architecture of the structures and at mark 01:37 the familiar pagoda-style buildings of Tibet as we then watch children spinning a temple’s prayer wheels at mark 02:05. For hundreds of years, we are told, residents of Nepal have had very little contact with the Western world, leading to a “primitive” yet untainted culture as the camera shows us scenes from daily life. A traveling Hindu yogi is shown at mark 03:14 wearing a turban made out of hair rather than fabric, while another resident with only a top knot appears at mark 03:36 which would “lift the youngster to Heaven should he die.” We see a variety of festivals and religious ceremonies beginning at mark 04:25 were “almost day’s a holiday” — including those holidays involving decapitating hundreds of buffalo as a sacrifice to the Hindu goddess Durga. Scenes from a wedding follow before the story switches to hard life endured by many Nepal, and at mark 05:22 we see lines of young and old tilling working the hard soil and hoping their crops are not attacked by roving bands of sacred monkeys (mark 05:28). Kathmandu is visited beginning at mark 05:38 and we see a temple honoring the Hindu god Pashupati, a cremation ceremony, residents cleansing their souls (and their laundry) in the Bagmati River, and at mark 06:20 see the Gurkha — Nepalese soldiers. In an ever-changing world, Nepal remains a land of “savagery, simplicity, and beauty.”

Originally released in 1924, this silent film "Wolfe and Montcalm" was part of an educational series of movies produced by the Yale University Press. It was directed by Kenneth Webb. The film portrays the "Conquest of New France" -- the historic struggle of the British and French for supremacy on the North American continent. The climax is reached in the death of General Wolfe, while leading the British troops to victory in the battle of the Plains of Abraham which preceded the fall of Quebec to the English in 1759.

The well-produced film stars Arthur Hohl as General James Wolfe and Juan De La Cruze as the Marquis de Montcalm and was directed by Kenneth Webb. It was based on George McKinnon Wrong's history book, "Conquest of New France." Arthur Hohl (May 21, 1889 – March 10, 1964) was an American stage and motion-picture character actor. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and began appearing in films in the early 1920s. He played a great number of villainous or mildly larcenous roles, although his screen roles usually were small, but he also played a few sympathetic characters. Juan de la Cruz was born on June 4, 1881 in Copenhagen, Denmark. He was an actor, known for The Flirt (1916), Miss V from Moscow (1942) and The Gentleman from Indiana (1915). Kenneth Seymour Webb (16 October 1885 New York City – 6 March 1966 Hollywood, California) was an American film director, screenwriter, and composer noted for directing a number of films in the early age of the American film industry. He helped write the Gay Divorce along with Samuel Hoffenstein.

Chronicles of America is the title of a fifty volume series of books on American history.

This silent footage shows the launch of a Titan-IIIc booster. Unfortunately there are no dates visible on the footage, so we're not sure which booster this is! The Titan IIIC was an expendable launch system used by the United States Air Force from 1965 until 1982. It was the first Titan booster to feature large solid rocket motors and was planned to be used as a launcher for the Dyna-Soar, though cancelled before any astronauts flew. The majority of the launcher's payloads were DoD satellites, for military communications and early warning, though one flight (ATS-6) was performed by NASA. The Titan IIIC was launched exclusively from Cape Canaveral while its sibling, the Titan IIID, was launched only from Vandenberg AFB.

Healthy Teeth Happy Smile, presented by The National Dental Association (a professional association of dentists), is a short educational film—likely from the early 1960s, that targets minority teenagers to promote good oral care practices. The film opens with high school students leaving a classroom and filing into an assembly hall. A handful of students wait on a stage behind the curtain for an awards ceremony (01:24). The film cuts to the school nurse’s office where a dentist provides free dental examinations. Sally sits down for the exam, and the dentist finds cavities. The film shows Sally walking down a sidewalk with a friend. She models a dress in her house in front of a mirror (03:21). Sally sits in the exam chair at a dentist office (03:48). She looks at pictures of Charles Edwin Bentley and Robert Tanner Freeman, African American pioneering dentists, on the wall of the office. The dentist walks in and talks to Sally about her teeth. The dentists and his assistant set up the x-ray arm and insert bite-wings into Sally’s mouth (05:58). The dentist gives Sally a booklet on proper dental care, then he shows her the x-rays of her teeth (08:31). Basic animation is used to show how tooth decay occurs, with food and bacteria causing plaque, and bacteria growth. The dentist goes to scrape tarter off Sally’s teeth (10:55), and the film again uses animation, this time to show the procedure, proper teeth brushing technique, and how a cavity is filled.

It begins with an escape scenario from a military prison, presumably caused by a guard's lack of knowledge. From that, the focus shifts to training. Since the greatest danger comes when the prisoners are working, most of film addresses this circumstance.

First, the guard verifies the ID's of his detail, 9:22. Then he uses trained responses and coordination of effort, particularly with the driver of the truck that is to transport the prisoners to their work site. If a prisoner attempts to escape, the guard follows a set protocol (13:40) and returns the prisoners to their barracks as soon as possible. The video tressed the importance of being Impersonal (17:17), The guard's goals are repeated several times -- Custody, Control and Discipline.

This short 1960s U.S. Navy film (D-A-PHD-6-01) gives viewers a look at the development of the Navy’s helicopter escape capsule ballistic system and early tests of the system. The film opens with a helicopter crashing into a body of water. Another helicopter crashes into the sea next to an aircraft carrier. A UH-25B (Piasecki HUP Retriever) flies by, and the film shows soldiers sitting in the fuselage of the chopper. An image of the UH-25B is used to show how modifications are made to add a fuselage escape capsule (01:45). At the Naval Weapons Laboratory in Dahlgren, VA, men work on ballistics to separate the fuselage capsule (02:20). Men wheel a UH-25B into a hanger to work on the capsule design. The engineers look over the helicopter. The film reviews the objectives for creating the system, which are to solve the following five problems: Ballistic Initiator &amp; Energy Transfer System, Severance of Fuselage &amp; Aircraft Controls, Positive Separation Between Fuselage Sections, Severance of Blades and Rotors, and Deployment of Parachutes. A man shows the pieces used for the Ballistic Initiator and Energy Transfer System (04:22), including the electrical solenoid, ballistic actuator, and manifold for energy transfer. A helicopter sits out on a runway (05:24). Inside the helicopter, a man shows the linear-shaped charge running around the fuselage. Viewers see an initial test to blast the charge and separate the fuselage. A man puts a rocket on the exterior of the helicopter (07:07). Test footage shows the rocket igniting, demonstrating enough thrust to separate the fuselage from the trail. Next, the film looks at the task of severing the blades and rotors (08:11): a man shows a model of a rotor and blades with a charge attached to them. Slow-motion footage shows the detonation of the explosive and the severance ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c373a6a5-c986-4b1a-9dc6-9973a1ea5985/7dedb3bf-ef3e-4bea-a1ca-7e435f44c0b1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/q8QSq7AVTFoL5NFo7eh8uz</video:player_loc><video:duration>950</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-06T23:54:01.243Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1ZNCPfWQdANsGNax3Qu7id</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c9c30f74-739a-4eab-8e89-d5881fa8e85d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" 50 YEARS BEFORE YOUR EYES "  PART 1   1900-1950 DOCUMENTARY FILM  66734</video:title><video:description>This film is the first half of the 1950 Warner Brothers film, which documents the major American and international events during the first half of the Twentieth Century.

This 1941 War Department training film (TF 11-297) shows the basics of laying field wire line. The film opens with field wire line being loosened by a truck reel unit. A wire-laying team meets with an officer to see the route for laying wire. 01:55 The unit leaves in a truck with spools of wire (01:55). An officer connects the wire to a switchboard (02:30); a member of the unit climbs a tree to hoist the wire above the road. The truck stops so the men can pull in the slack wire (03:50), and then they tie it to a tree. A unit member tags the wire. The film shows other tagged wire indicating different wires running parallel to each other. The wire is laid down on the side of the road by the unit (05:18). A reel of wire is exhausted, so the men splice the wire and replace the reel with a new one, splicing the new line to the old one. One member connects a test telephone to the splice to test the far side of the line (06:30). He then makes a call back to the switchboard. An illustration is used to show how loading coils are used to increase the transmission range of wire (07:16). The film shows a C-114 coil in a watertight case as a man connects the wires to the posts in the coil. At a bridge (09:08), the truck pulls up and the unit prepare to pass the wire under the bridge through a culvert. They splice the lines and then climb aboard the truck to continue to lay wire. At a railroad crossing, the unit tags the line and passes it under the rails; one man also digs a small trench on both sides of the track (10:58). The film then shows how to proceed at a road intersection (12:12), as the men tie the wire line and excess line to a tree so the follow-up construction team can tie the wire above the road. The unit digs a trench across a dirt road at a smaller intersection to bury the wire (13:28). At a stream crossing, the men tie excess wire for another elevated oper...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/459d563a-087c-4d25-b5a1-b422b9bf456c/3b104333-9095-4c59-83e7-92f3efe010fd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9AzYGe9FvpancixQtwwGPW</video:player_loc><video:duration>1160</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T00:01:57.736Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3TruKV5dmESLWeQxoEXbBz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0933bb39-5b5f-4b4a-a748-2a47ef1e47dc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s STORY OF THE U.S. MAIL   USPS PROMOTIONAL FILM  LETTER SORTING &amp; DELIVERY 64334</video:title><video:description>This 1950s color film is an educational public service announcement by the U.S. Postal Service.

MISSILE GUIDANCE COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR TITAN II ICBM FILM FOOTAGE (SILENT)  49994</video:title><video:description>This silent film was likely a test print of "dailies" for an industrial film about the missile guidance computer for the Titan II ICBM and rocket booster. The film was shot by IBM-Oswego, also known as IBM Federal Systems, which was created in 1957 to handle IBM's military business. This organization later became Lockheed Martin Systems Integration – Owego (LMSI), a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, and also called Lockheed Martin Federal Systems. IBM's contract for Titan I/Titan II was to provide a missile guidance computer (MGC) known as the IBM ASC-15 digital computer. The ASC-15 (Advance System Controller Model 15) was a digital computer developed by International Business Machines (IBM) for use on the Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). It was subsequently modified and used on the Titan III and Saturn I Block II launch vehicles. The ASC-15 was built on an aluminum frame about 1.5x1.5x1 feet. The sides, top and bottom were covered by pieces of laminated plastic, covered with gold-plated aluminum foil. These covers were slightly convex and ribbed for stiffness. Inside the covers were fifty-two logic sticks, each containing four welded encapsulated modules. These surrounded a bell frame housing a drum memory. The drum was a thin-walled stainless steel cylinder 3 inches long and 4.5 inches in diameter covered with a magnetic nickel-cobalt alloy. It was driven by a synchronous motor at 6,000 rpm. The drum had 70 tracks, of which 58 were used and 12 were spare.

Its principal function on these rockets was to make navigation calculations using data from inertial sensor systems. It also performed readiness checks before launch. It was a digital serial processor using fixed-point data with 27-bit words. The storage was a drum memory. Electronic circuits were welded encapsulated modules, consisting of discrete resistors, transistors, capacitors, and other components welded together and encapsulated in a foam material.

Manuel Laureano Rodríguez Sánchez (4 July 1917 – 29 August 1947), better known as Manolete, was a Spanish bullfighter. He rose to prominence shortly after the Spanish Civil War and is considered by some[who?] to be the greatest bullfighter of all time. His style was sober and serious, with few concessions to the gallery, and he excelled at the suerte de matar — the kill. Manolete's contribution to bullfighting included being able to stand very still while the bull passed close to his body and, rather than giving the passes separately, he was able to remain in one spot and link four or five consecutive passes together into a compact series.

He popularized a pass with the muleta called the "Manoletina," which is normally given just before entering to kill with the sword. In addition to all of the major bullrings of Spain, he had very important triumphs in Plaza Mexico.e died in August 1947 following a goring in the upper right leg as he killed the fifth bull of the day, the Miura bull Islero, an event that left Spain in a state of shock. Manolete received his fatal goring in the town of Linares where he appeared alongside the up-and-coming matador Luis Miguel Dominguín, who, after Manolete's death, proclaimed himself "Numero Uno."Salvador Dalí portrays Manolete in his famous double-image painting, "The Hallucinogenic Toreador".

The film outlines the union’s central purpose as well as its organizational structure and its productivity, emphasizing the union’s commitment to the future.  The film contains footage of then-President John F. Kennedy and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson side by side with union head Walter Mitchell and other union representatives.  President Kennedy makes a speech promoting union ideals in America, describing unions as key for a bright future in 1960s America. (Note: it seems very likely that the remarks John F. Kennedy makes in the film are at least partially from a September 1960 speech he made at Atlantic City during his run for the presidency, when he was still a U.S. Senator. In that speech he appealed for Democratic leadership and addressed labor issues, including the effects of automation on employment.)

The film opens with a montage showing various types of workers in the Chemical Workers Union, from assembly line workers to office workers, also showing a cross-sample of industry machines, from chemical manufacture to packaging and office filing.  Voice-over states, “You have a future with the chemical workers union—because the chemical workers, are on the go.  Top leaders of our country have recognized this fact.”  President Kennedy is shown at a union conference (01:31).  Union president Walter Mitchell reads a statement from Kennedy addressing the union in 1962.  A wide shot of the union conference hall reveals a nicely designed union banner with the words, "FORMULA FOR GROWTH AND STRENGTH" (03:14).

The film transitions to a montage of various chemical union workers (03:20) leading into shots of the Union Headquarters in Akron Ohio (03:46).

This U.S. Navy propaganda film from the late 1950s shows the threat of Soviet expansion and U.S. efforts to contain it while giving viewers a look at the U.S. Navy’s sea power being developed in the “Missile Age.” The film opens with an animation of a globe showing trade routes, new sea routes developed during the Age of Great Exploration, and contemporary sea lanes crisscrossing the world’s oceans. An explosive is detonated in the sea (01:50). Footage shows a torpedo moving through a torpedo tube. Cargo is loaded onto a cargo ship (02:48). Viewers see various U.S. Navy battleships and carriers; a plane drops a bomb. The film shows footage from a communist rally (03:48), the Soviet Army marching down a street, and Nikita Khrushchev attending a Communist peace summit (04:48). Graphics are used to compare the strength of the U.S. military to that of the Soviet Union, specifically comparing the construction of Soviet naval ships to that of the U.S. since 1950. An aerial shot shows the USS Forrestal (07:48), and planes flying over the super carrier. Jets take off from the deck of the Forrestal (08:17).  A plane lands on the flight deck. A missile is fired from the ship. What appears to be a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk flies through the air with a bomb and drops the ordnance (09:33). An SSM-N-8 Regulus I is launched from the Forrestal (09:55). The guided missile cruiser USS Boston moves out at sea (10:45); viewers see the ship’s missile launchers and gun mounts as a helicopter flies overhead. At the Navy’s Bureau of Ships, people design new ships (11:18). The film shows illustrations of a guided missile frigate and more guided missile carriers. Anti-submarine helicopters fly over the fleet (12:00). The film shows the launch of the first nuclear-powered submarine, the USS Nautilus (13:15). A supersonic P6M SeaMaster flies in the sky (13:57); another seaplane lands on the w...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7f4a4b45-ba24-424e-8e15-a7853b9ea584/d43c5ddb-efb8-4aee-9cd5-74d5e3ae9ee9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gHEumiPYkXohLv3ajEyRmY</video:player_loc><video:duration>1381</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T00:25:05.109Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kWSjup2XjnLttoUgRYKkq8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/49aa2e0f-2a8a-4a74-80b8-a3a2c6c4f293.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1944 ARMY NAVY SCREEN MAGAZINE #36  GEN. LESLEY MCNAIR  WWII REPORT FROM IOWA   PRIVATE SNAFU  68694</video:title><video:description>In this 1944 issue of Army-Navy Screen Magazine, viewers see a tribute to the late Lt. Gen. Lesley James McNair. McNair shakes hands with soldiers on an airstrip next to a plane, then he is shown sitting inside a car. Next, the film shows an aerial view of the cities of Normandy left in ruins following the heavy fighting that preceded the Allied liberation of the region (01:48). Troops fire artillery guns and off in the distance a building in a city is burning. A soldier talks on a radio while in the street of a town. A plane strafes ground targets and a German fighter plane.
Douglas A-20 Havocs fly in the air, and explosions go off on the ground below the light bombers. Footage shows the fierce fighting in the streets of Cherbourg (04:12), where U.S. troops fire at Nazi targets. Nazi soldiers emerge from a building and surrender with their hands in the air. In a city (possibly Cherbourg), U.S. soldiers raise the American flag (05:48); French citizens cheer during the flag raising ceremony. As troops march out of a town, French wave goodbye. Next, viewers see a “Report from Iowa,” which gives troops an update on life on a farm in Iowa. Men walk home from working at a war plant. A night watchman checks the door to a produce store. At the farm of Scott Ellis, Ellis wakes up his youngest son. He then walks out of his house and looks at the skies. The family sits down for breakfast (09:54). The boy feeds the hogs; piglets nurse on their mother. The boy then goes and milks a cow (11:25) while his mother feeds the chickens. Ellis drives a tractor out in the field. His daughter drives another tractor (13:37). Footage shows other young women and boys working the Iowa farms. The issue concludes with a short cartoon of Private Snafu, “Payday.” In the cartoon, Private Snafu is tempted to spend his money on souvenirs, booze, and gambling rather than saving his money for his future.

F. Kruse. It is the only one of Prorok's films known to survive at this time, although there hopefully are others. The film begins with reenacted scenes of ancient North African sea marauders,  the Berbers (0:40-1:37). Workers dig and transport rock out of an excavation site of ancient Carthage, and an archeologist closely examines specimens (1:38-2:04). Remnants of Roman and Byzantine architecture are shown, including carved signs in the ancient Greek alphabet (2:05-2:40). A vintage chart shows the timeline of invading empires and groups that controlled the region: the Libyans, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Barbary Pilots, Turks, Franco-Italians, and finally the United Nations (2:40-3:50). An archeologist creates a squeeze of a tombstone, while workers dig in the tomb and experts translate (3:51-4:29). Archeologists dig and examine coins, pottery, and small trinkets found in the rubble (4:30-4:41), including an ancient temple full of urns with jewels and children’s skeletons, which are carefully laid out and analyzed (4:42-5:29). A tomb full of clay containers and ancient jewelry is excavated and shown (5:30-6:12). An archeologist demonstrates a clay child’s savings bank, toys, and milk jug (6:13-6:55). The Utica house where Cato, the infamous Roman senator and philosopher who opposed Julius Caesar, committed suicide is shown in excavation (6:56-7:38). Antique cars traverse the desert, and a local wanderer gives them directions (7:39-8:08). Houses and natives of the Matmata mountains in Tunisia are shown, with an archaeologist making the difficult climb up the mountain-side stairs (8:09-9:06). Archeologists ride donkeys into the region of cave dwellers, and a camel emerges from a cave before returning (9:07-9:41).

This short film shows the safety measures taken at the Air Force Eastern Test Range launch site at Cape Kennedy Air Force Station in Florida, using the recreation of the launch and detonation of a Delta 59 rocket carrying an Intelsat 3 satellite on 18 September 1968. The film opens with an aerial view of the Test Range launch site. Men walk to the launch pad for a Delta 59 rocket with Thor boosters (00:40). Engineers work on the rocket. The towers of the launch pad are moved away from the rocket. Viewers see the Range Control Center (02:10), where the decision to detonate the rocket in flight would be made. An officer stands on the roof and waits for the rocket launch, when he will use wires to track the rocket’s trajectory. A camera van is ready to relay closed-circuit pictures of the launch. The film shows some of the radar dishes used for tracking the rocket. In a control room, a CDC 3600 computer receives radar inputs (03:16). An official arms the detonation switch at the Range Control Center (03:49). Recreating the 18 September 1968 launch using film and audio recordings of the conversations from the actual launch, the film gives viewers an excellent look at the launch operation and the speed at which the launch is terminated. Range Test 7970, covering the launch of Delta 59 carrying Intelsat 3-A, begins (04:23). The men in the control room prepare for launch with a final communications check. The Delta rocket stands ready for launch. The boosters ignite (06:05), and the rocket takes off, flying into the sky. The rocket flies through the air (06:57), but viewers only see the flames from the boosters. The missile veers off course, and the official in the control room flips the safety destruction switch, detonating the rocket’s internal explosive. Another rocket is launched and flies into the sky (08:55).

This film segment opens with a shot of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) logo (00:08-00:12) and proceeds to depict the Tularosa basin in south-central New Mexico, host to the US Army’s White Sands Missile Range and facilities for testing the launch escape system of the Apollo command module (00:14-00:30). The narrator of this NASA documentary film piece explains that on May 12, 1964, the site was used for testing the Apollo boiler plate 12, an unmanned test module subjected to harsh conditions, launched and aborted.  Otherwise known as Apollo BP-12, High “Q” Abort Test A-001 (00:50), this segment documents and explains the purposes of the test along with details of the testing program. At 01:50, a graphical depiction of the test module and launch process begins, with details about stressors and other factors applied to the unit presented. The origins of the module and test launch are noted to have begun in a facility in Downey, California (02:42-03:45). The 33 foot long launch escape system is highlighted as an important component of the test modules created on this NASA site (03:21). The film segment goes on to describe the fabrication of other unique testing components including the Little Joe II launch vehicle (04:33). Specifications of various vehicle test tools and boiler plate launch components are described throughout this technical and educational video (06:00-09:06). NASA mission control simulation team members are depicted starting at 09:08 as they configure and engage in module tests starting from countdown to abort routines. A live test launch is documented at 10:30 and the film follows its trajectory and damage results throughout the rest of the segment. The safe return of the module is shown and the test is deemed successful (13:35-13:50).

On January 28, 1986, the NASA Space Shuttle orbiter undertaking mission STS-51-L and the tenth flight of Space Shuttle Challenger (OV-99) broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members: five NASA astronauts, one payload specialist, and a civilian school teacher. The spacecraft disintegrated over the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 11:39 a.m. EST (16:39 UTC). The disintegration of the vehicle began after a joint in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff. The failure was caused by the failure of O-ring seals used in the joint that were not designed to handle the unusually cold conditions that existed at this launch. The seals' failure caused a breach in the SRB joint, allowing pressurized burning gas from within the solid rocket motor to reach the outside and impinge upon the adjacent SRB aft field joint attachment hardware and external fuel tank. This led to the separation of the right-hand SRB's aft field joint attachment and the structural failure of the external tank. Aerodynamic forces broke up the orbiter.

The crew compartment and many other vehicle fragments were eventually recovered from the ocean floor after a lengthy search and recovery operation. The exact timing of the death of the crew is unknown; several crew members are known to have survived the initial breakup of the spacecraft. The shuttle had no escape system,[a][1] and the impact of the crew compartment at terminal velocity with the ocean surface was too violent to be survivable.

The film opens with a group of sailors in their off hours as they get ready to go ashore for liberty (or time off) in their enlisted dress blue uniforms. At mark 03:47, one of the sailors decides to swipe campaign ribbons from a sick crewmate’s jumper. The sailor’s misbehavior continues in town, disrespecting civilians and a junior officer. “The navy goes in for courtesy. Like saluting. It’s an order to an admiral the same as you,” his friend cautions him at mark 05:20. The sailor’s disrespect carries over to women, too. When set up on a blind date, he remarks of his shipmate’s girl at mark 06:45: “She’s not bad but I bet her girlfriend’s a dog — they always are.” Opting instead to spend time with “some broken down floozies,” the sailor adds additional campaign ribbons to his uniform and hits an array of watering holes, pounding down shots and beers in a drinking montage until he enters another drinking establishment at mark 09:00 and begins flashing his seven months of pay — a site that catches the eye of the bartender.

With a wink and a nod, he sends a well-dressed B-girl toward her mark and encourages him to buy her some drinks. “I thought you were a friend of mine. From the back you look just like him. He’s very well built, too,” she purrs. “I can say the same for you,” he replies as his eyes wander. The drinks and the flirting continues as the sailor relates a wild story of an invasion at mark 10:50 — one he only read about in a magazine. As his stories grow and his speech slurs by mark 11:05, he delights a growing crowd with more tall tales and high-priced drink purchases.

The morality tale starts at mark 11:45, when the blonde B-girl goes in for the kill … and lifts a wad of cash from the drunken sailor’s belt, passing off the cash to her bartender partner before he cuts him off and kicks him out. Stumbling out into the dayli...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/68f0560c-7cd0-4d09-b9a3-657e50039467/df364ea2-f3d6-40d6-9903-2bf24e6e9f3e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dXzGgENsqaZquaP6yjmVUK</video:player_loc><video:duration>1036</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T00:45:38.535Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/26KEJUoaReSazxwb59MELn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/765358e4-f065-4d4a-9892-e708367b5395.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s HAUTVILLERS CHAMPAGNE PRODUCTION DOCUMENTARY  "WINE OF HAPPINESS"   FRANCE 15614</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Grape-Nuts is a breakfast cereal developed in 1897 by C. W. Post, a former patient and later competitor of the 19th-century breakfast food innovator, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. The cereal originally prepared by C. W. Post when developing the product was a batter that came from the oven as a rigid sheet. He then broke the sheet into pieces and ran them through a coffee grinder to produce the "nut"-sized kernels.Despite the name, the cereal contains neither grapes nor nuts; it is made with wheat and barley. Post believed that glucose (which he called "grape sugar") formed in the baking process. This, combined with the nutty flavor of the cereal, is said to have inspired its name. Another explanation originates from employees at Post, who claim that the cereal got its name due to a resemblance to grape seeds, or grape "nuts".

At :27 the employee clubhouse is shown, the original home of Grape Nuts. At :46 the large factory where the product is now made is shown.  Storage tanks hold a half million bushels of wheat and barley (1:10). At 1:24 conveyer belts move wheat within the facility. At 3:31 flour is ground at the rate of 1&amp;1/3rd barrels per minute. At 5:32 dough is made for the cereal. Loaves are moulded at 7:58 at the start of the baking process. At 9:58 they are ready to be shredded. At 11:12 secondary ovens are shown where the grape nuts are baked further before being shredded a bit more. At 12:08 it is ground to its normal size before being packaged in tin cans. These are sealed at 13:45. At 14:41 cereal boxes are shown being sealed on an assembly line before being bulk packaged for shipment around the USA (17;23).

American Tempo is an industrial documentary detailing the manufacture of General Electric’s Mazda lamps and various other light bulbs.

The film opens with multiple exposures showing machine and man whirling together, bars of the song “America” are heard mixed in with stirring stock music.  Titles dissolve to shots of shipyards, factories and railroads as narration pronounces the USA the leading industrial nation: “Make it better, make it cheaper, make it faster, that is the American tempo.”  Assuming a low-angle view alla Soviet Cinema, a parade of workers stroll in front of a factory (1:01).  A new movement of Eisensteinian montage follows with industrial machinery and workers in action set to the beat of classical music.  The narrator builds a case for the importance of light to promote efficiency and safety, finishing with machines of war—tanks, bombers, and battleships.  The film cuts to a studio movie set in order to show the difference proper lighting can make on the clarity and impact of the object lit, the example a vase of flowers (3:34). 

The scene shifts to G.E. laboratories in Nela Park, Cleveland Ohio (4:11), dissolving to workshop interiors containing equipment for lamp testing and manufacture (4:48).  An animated diagram shows the evolution of G.E. Mazda bulbs, cost and efficiency from 1907-1940 (5:07). The parts of incandescent bulbs are described through a short piece of animation (5:43). Raw materials are discussed— mines, factories and chemical plants are shown.  A machine that “turns out many thousands of glass bulbs every hour” is shown (7:08) and contrasted to lamps being blown by hand (7:24). Flare and filament construction are detailed, the filament referred to as “the heart of every Mazda lamp.”  Filaments are shown being pressed and refined (9:04) to become 1/3 the thickness of a human hair (9:51).  Filament coiling for brighter bu...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/71f5b9ee-00de-4a98-9af5-8ddf927c87ab/79cab8c1-5076-4676-8854-953f8e6ad6f0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/f5c3V6oKgBstLCM4hDGNkn</video:player_loc><video:duration>1428</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T01:20:28.940Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vAtypJdVF8zz3TiN4SkDuD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7db3b01c-034e-4e8d-b2eb-8b05d9ec95ad.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1953 U.S. ARMED SERVICES INFORMATION FILM   " THE PHILIPPINES "  MANILA  83224</video:title><video:description>Support us on Patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This campaign into the West Estonian Archipelago, and against Russian forces, was known as Operation Albion. It was launched because the German high command believed capturing the islands would leave St. Petersburg vulnerable to attack. The campaign opened against Muhu on October 12, and by October 20th the Russian Army had evacuated. A similar campaign against Hiiumaa produced similar results and, after losses at the Battle of Moon Sound, the Russian Baltic Fleet had to withdraw from the Suur Straight.  The Germans claimed 20,000 prisoners and 100 guns captured during Operation Albion from 12 to 20 October. The Estonian islands seized were occupied until the end of hostilities. Overall, Operation Albion was considered a tremendous German success, with the Russian forces on the islands destroyed, and the islands and coastal batteries firmly in German hands. Estonia later became independent after the October Revolution and the collapse of the Russian Empire. As a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the new state was incorporated into the Soviet Union in June 1940 as the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic.

OF SANITATION 1950s TRASH COLLECTION FILM    INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 15414</video:title><video:description>This late 1950s film from Parthenon Pictures, presented by International Harvester, documents the city of Los Angeles’ banning of backyard trash incinerators and its transition to a municipal garbage collection system in 1957. The film opens with a shot of LA from a distance. A public works administrator from a midwestern city, Don Flemming, observes the operations of LA’s Toyon Canyon landfill. There are several good shots of LA. Cars crowd the freeways in LA (02:15), and the rapid growth of the city creates urban sprawl. An inversion covers the valley. The film shows the sources of the pollution (03:12): factories, refineries, and the burning of refuse. A municipal incinerator burns rubbish. A woman burns garbage in a backyard incinerator (04:26). The film shows other backyard and rooftop incinerators. A fireman sprays water from a firehose onto a house fire (05:12). A garbage truck drives around and collects garbage. The film shows City Hall (06:49). Inside, an official looks at a map of Los Angeles and ponders how to deal with waste collection. The City Council watches an informational film, Collection Equipment (07:40), showing eight different types of garbage trucks as they consider launching a municipal waste collection system. City Hall is lit up at night (09:44). The film introduces the key men involved in starting the waste management system (09:54): Warren Snyder, Norman Hume, Grant Flynn, Jack Kirkus, Ray Swinson, George Bulgart, and Charlie Neese (please excuse any misspellings of the names). A man instructs newly recruited garbage men on operations (11:11); the men learn how to operate and maintain the garbage trucks. Footage shows the garbage trucks being tested at the proving grounds of the manufacturing company (11:50), presumably that of Harvester International. Contractors wait in City Hall to bid on the jobs for the waste system components—in this case for truck chassis (12:55). There is a night shot of City Hall and its surrounding neighborho...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3a6c8e9b-8f9c-42dc-8671-a9709ed67154/0f3ecd2c-8487-4fef-8d8d-e598c2e9770e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8drpWGondbEA1MYCWa1Evs</video:player_loc><video:duration>1825</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T01:43:25.153Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eSqkHT7gJ52HDcQCquRsbQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/416708dc-4671-4700-9552-ea831856511b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" COMPUTERS: TOOLS FOR PEOPLE " 1980s COMPUTER &amp; SOFTWARE EDUCATIONAL FILM  APPLE II  63094</video:title><video:description>This short 1982 educational film, produced by Dimension Films shortly before the company folded in 1985.

This 1970s film about the the Emerlec 30mm mount shows it fitted with two Oerlikon 30-mm/75-cal rifled automatic cannon. The Emerlek is a US-built antiaircraft gun mount in service in several classes of non-US ships. The film also shows the the CPIC or coastal patrol and interdiction craft aboard which the mount was originally intended for deployment. The CPIC was a 100-foot craft built as a prototype successor for the PT/PTF-type small combatant. The Tacoma Boatbuilding firm in the State of Washington launched the craft in 1974. The U.S. Navy carried out extensive trials. Among the CPIC's special features was a modular weapons configuration to permit rapid changeover to guns, rockets, missiles, torpedoes, and mines. Total weapons payload was ten tons (on a full load displacement of about 75 tons). The craft was propelled by two aircraft-type Avco Lycoming gas turbine engines with an auxiliary diesel; maximum speed was in excess of 40 knots. After U.S. Navy trials, on August 1, 1975, the CPIC was transferred to South Korea. Additional craft of this type were constructed in South Korea. The CPIC was the last U.S. small combatant built with a torpedo capability-the last PT boat. Anti-ship missiles, which could be carried by relatively small ships as well as large warships, aircraft, and even submarines, had replaced the torpedo. The Koreans returned the CPIC to the USA in 1979. The prototype CPIC was armed with the Emerson Mk 74 Mod 0 twin 30mm gun mount; one forward and one amidships on the 01 level. There were 4 other weapons stations for .50s or Mk 19s.

As shown in the film, the Emerlec is a gyro-stabilized mount that puts the gunner’s position between the two cannon, which are mounted on a trunnion that passes through the cabin behind the gunner. The two barrels elevate and traverse together. The front...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ee65ac5c-6e12-48fa-8741-feb9268c986b/4121a347-004a-4af3-bbe1-10c2c3f7685e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vrqratwWxopdUzibRiRGq4</video:player_loc><video:duration>763</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T01:55:33.891Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7YJQfgzWhinVUBELCuXZm7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0c31dbcc-571b-4b9c-8935-f11d0269452d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA GEMINI IV EXTRA VEHICULAR ACTIVITY EVA BY EDWARD H.

This NASA film gives an overview of Extra Vehicular Activity or EVA.  It shows the Gemini 4 mission and the special EVA suit made for that mission and astronaut Edward H. White.

Gemini 4 (officially Gemini IV) was the second manned space flight in NASA's Project Gemini, occurring in June 1965. It was the tenth manned American spaceflight (including two X-15 flights at altitudes exceeding 100 kilometers (54 nmi)). Astronauts James McDivitt and Edward H. White, II circled the Earth 66 times in four days, making it the first US flight to approach the five-day flight of the Soviet Vostok 5. The highlight of the mission was the first space walk by an American, during which White floated free outside the spacecraft, tethered to it, for approximately 20 minutes. Both of these accomplishments helped the United States overcome the Soviet Union's early lead in the Space Race.

The flight also included the first attempt to make a space rendezvous as McDivitt attempted to maneuver his craft close to the Titan II upper stage which launched it into orbit, but this was not successful.

Originally planned for the second revolution, the astronauts postponed the EVA until the third after McDivitt decided that White, following the stress of the launch and the failed rendezvous, looked tired and hot. After a rest, the pair finished performing the checklist for the EVA. Flying over Carnarvon, Australia, they began to depressurize the cabin. Over Hawaii, White pulled the handle to open his hatch, but the latches failed to move.

Fortunately, McDivitt knew what the problem was, because the hatch had failed to close in a vacuum chamber test on the ground, after which McDivitt worked with a technician to see what the cause was. A spring, which forced gears to engage in the mechanism, had failed to compress, and McDivitt got to s...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3882e10e-c5fc-4718-a252-7e9ed7aa216a/871c9d09-ba4e-4ab8-b5fa-ffda7ef8706e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7YJQfgzWhinVUBELCuXZm7</video:player_loc><video:duration>799</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T01:58:16.236Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1nx5EFBBzxSdrotaa5SadC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2c84c9e7-f7f4-4c4b-a57f-09eb8a71a733.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"HAVANA HOLIDAY"  1942 HAVANA, CUBA TRAVELOGUE MOVIE   MORRO CASTLE  THE RUMBA   (silent) 50944</video:title><video:description>Havana Holiday is a short 1930s silent film, part of Castle Films’ The World Parade series, that gives viewers a quick look at the vibrant Cuban city of Havana.

The bobsled team included six men in this era including Lt. Paul Lamey, Bob Huscher, Dennis Sprenkle, Bill Renton and Bill Coulson. The Navy's tradition in bobsleigh appears to have been short-lived as a Google search doesn't reveal any modern teams. A follow-up film to this one, "Blue on Ice" was released in 1974. 

Paul Lamey competed in bobsled at two Winter Olympics and six World Championships. During his bobsled career, he was a Navy lieutenant. He later had various careers. Lamey served as an expert analyst for ABC Television during the 1980 Olympic bobsled events. But he later served in various marketing and executive positions for the Unlimited Hydroplane Racing Commission, LM Racing, and the PGA of America. Lamey eventually became a senior director of business development for Miacomet, a gaming and software technology company.

It was brought home by an American G.I. after WWII, and shows the activities of a German Luftwaffe staff officer in Occupied France in 1941. The film starts with shots of a staff car and various officers conferring. At 1:05 a roadside points the way to Rouen. At 1:20 Rouen Cathedral is shown. At 2:10 a soldier poses for the camera. At 2:13 a large contingent of Germans lines the road and a group shoulders their rifles and walks past camera. At 2:38 a casket is shown and the members of the Luftwaffe gather around for the burial of what was likely a fellow pilot. At 3:22 boars are shown lined up, presumably after a successful hunt.

These were British Commonwealth, Empire and Allied victory celebrations held after the defeat of Nazi Germany and Japan in World War II. Attended by Queen Elizabeth and members of the royal family, the celebrations took place in London on 8 June 1946, and consisted mainly of a military parade through the city and a night time fireworks display. Most British allies took part in the parade, including Belgium, Brazil, China, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, Luxembourg the Netherlands and the United States.The parade arrangements caused a controversy surrounding the lack of representation of Polish forces.

The first part of the parade was the Chiefs of Staff's procession, featuring the British Chiefs of Staff together with the Supreme Allied Commanders. This was followed by a mechanized column which went from Regent's Park to Tower Hill to The Mall (where the saluting base was) and then back to Regent's Park. It was more than four miles long and contained more than 500 vehicles from the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force, British civilian services and the British Army (in that order).

Next came a marching column, which went from Marble Arch to The Mall to Hyde Park Corner.This was headed by the flags of the Allied nations which took part in the parade, each with an honor guard. Next came units of the navies, air forces, civilian services and armies of the nations of the British Empire. They were followed by units from the Royal Navy, followed by British civilian services, the British Army, representatives of certain Allied air forces and the Royal Air Force. This was followed by a fly-past of 300 aircraft, led by Douglas Bader. In the aftermath, 4,127 persons needed medical attention and 65 were taken to hospital.

After sunset of the same day, the principal buildings of London were lit by floodlights...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dee8966e-0af3-4eb9-b4d8-9122bf033755/de1c58f9-57ac-4ac8-a55f-dc24cb88c4ff-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/twurTzFg5U443bSWKJrsYn</video:player_loc><video:duration>941</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T02:10:35.265Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jrm5T7Ea5VEQqhDahbHSkf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7522251a-04ec-45a7-b39c-ed3c9b6cdf5a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1944-45 WWII NEWSREEL MOVIE  SOVIETS in ROMANIA,  BOMBING OF DRESDEN, GERMAN ARCTIC BASES  41334</video:title><video:description>This 1944-1945 black-and-white military propaganda film contains various segments including dramatic aerial bombing footage.

OF AGRICULTURE SOIL CONSERVATION FILM  "RAIN ON THE PLAINS"  47734</video:title><video:description>Rain on the Plains, released in 1938 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is a short film that promotes the importance of soil conservation through rain conservation to avoid the effects caused by erosion, such as dust storms. The film opens with a shot of a cattle herd grazing out on the plains. A man operates a horse-drawn plow (01:07); after farming and grazing the land without proper rain conservation, the plains are dry and dusty. The film shows footage from the 12 May 1934 dust bowl: a dust storm approaches a farmhouse (01:28), city streets are darkened by dust, and a man sweeps the sidewalk in front of his business. Winds blow across the plains, sending clouds of dust and sand with it (02:00). Fields on the plains are covered with sand (02:24); sand drifts cover farming equipment and fences. There is a good shot of a farmstead out on the plains (03:16). A man uses a tractor for contour tillage, a form of soil conservation (03:55). Another farmer terrace farms, while another is shown strip cropping (04:50). Men ride in a truck, sodding the field by dropping clumps of grass sod to prevent wind erosion (05:24). A line of trees serves as a wind barrier on a farm (06:24). Two farmers make an earth dam to store water and block wind. The film shows a field with mature wheat to show how the plains can look when farmed in a healthy manner (07:02). A harvester is pulled by a tractor (07:40). The film closes with a shot of a tractor pulling a harvester in a field with the farmhouse off in the background.

The first episode of a two-part presentation by the Social Security Administration of the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare, this educational film covers changes during the transitional period of Social Security programs and legislation during the mid-1960s. The public service film production begins with a colorful map of the United States at 0:07. The film emphasizes how Social Security serves Americans all across the country and is hosted by Roy L. Swift, the SSA's Information Officer during Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration from 1963 to 1968. As the Commissioner of Social Security, Robert M. Ball, led the way toward a broader reach for the SSA, Swift was a key figure in preparing communications about Social Security benefits to the public in all forms of media during the period that President Johnson held office. Swift introduces two significant figures throughout the film to express the reach of disability insurance benefits, components of SSA programs, and to highlight the impact on each of these individuals. Central Pennsylvania's anthracite coal mines are mentioned in terms of their transition from booming industry to dwindling economic relevance, with an overview of the tragic case of coal miner Marlon Enders and his severe, disabling injuries sustained while trapped in a mine for five hours. Out of commission for a year, Mr. Enders was able to qualify for Social Security disability benefits due to a recent change in the law no longer requiring disability to last indefinitely to gain such benefits (02:03-04:50). His father-in-law, Sparky Adams, a Major League Baseball veteran of the Cubs, Cards, and Pirates after WWI, is able to receive Social Security retirement checks each month along with Medicare (05:00-05:30). The daughter of the family, Bonnie Enders, is shown to ben...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9bc8d043-82eb-4753-81ab-2dcb1307105e/7b7f73b6-7e79-45bc-98d0-35ce74d1f2fd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/keK1YarrUZVTALnERAWVrh</video:player_loc><video:duration>878</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T02:24:32.429Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jFRQqDNfGAfrhTB6MmWFBZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1b43b0c4-d455-44e0-b5a5-92c7a201529a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s GRAND PRIX MOTORCYCLE RACING FILM  "THE RIGHT LINE"  GERMANY, SCOTLAND, BRITAIN  57944</video:title><video:description>This early 1960s color film provides an introduction to Grand Prix motorcycle racing.

It’s a Rum World is a 1973 documentary film showing some of the stages of rum production by United Rum Merchants (1946-2010). The film opens a colonial-era reenactment of a man delivering a bottle of rum to British landowners. The film then cuts to the coast of Jamaica (01:56). A man pushes a raft down a river to the sea. Three Jamaican men play instruments and sing a song about rum and coconut water (02:50). The proprietor of the Little Pub makes rum cocktails (03:45). There is a shot of a sugar plantation. (04:20) Harvested sugarcane is moved from piles at a rum factory. The film shows the distillery’s pot stills and a man stirring a glass of Lemon Hart rum. Next, the film takes viewers to Guyana (05:23), with shots of houses on stilts and an aerial view of the Uitvlugt Distillery and neighboring demerara sugar plantation. A man drives a tractor plowing a field to prepare it for planting sugarcane. 06:25 Men bury sugarcane shoots in the ground (06:25). A plane dusts the field with insecticide. Ripe demerara sugar blows in the wind. Men set fire to the sugarcane fields to burn off the leaves. Afterward, men use machetes to cut the cane (07:43), and then they throw the cane onto boats in the irrigation canals. Several plantation managers discuss the harvest schedule to accommodate viewing an upcoming international cricket match. At a sugar processing plant (08:58), the sugarcane is weighed, and the cutters are paid. The sugarcane is run through milling machines where it is crushed, and the pulp sent to be used as fuel. The liquid sugarcane mixture sits in evaporating vats and then is turned into molasses (10:04). In a lab at Uitvlugt, a chemist makes a yeast wash (11:06). Steam-heated stills distill the rum. Another chemist tests the rum in a lab. Men fill oak casks with the distilled spirit (13:07), which is then taken to the docks for shipping.

The film begins with two men walking four oxen pulling a plow through a field. A tractor pulls a plow down a field. Footage shows some of the mountains of Greece, including snow-capped peaks and rocky mountainsides. Farmers use hoes to till the soil (02:22). The film then shows the small town of Anthili with its church (02:55); the village is located between the sea and the famed site of Thermopylae. Footage shows the barren plain around the village—it is left fallow because of its alkali salt levels. Two U.S. jeeps drive through a field, and four Greek farmers watch the American contingent pull up. The Americans, led by Walter Packard, take a sample of the alkali soil (04:15). At a University of Athens laboratory (04:42), Packard tests the soil. The Americans sit with the president of Anthili and talk with the townspeople about how to use rice to remove the alkali salt (05:19). The Americans and a few Greek men survey the surrounding fields (06:28). Heavy equipment from the Greek Ministry of Agriculture dig earth, as do men from the village, creating irrigation canals and ditches. A dragline excavator helps dig an irrigation canal. Irrigation water is pumped out of the fields’ irrigation system and down to the sea (07:44). The rice paddies are flooded (08:13), and a man wades through the water tossing rice. Three farmers sit on the side of a canal and wait to see if the rice will grow. There is a good shot of the young rice plants (08:57), followed by a panoramic shot of the fields of mature plants. The paddies are drained, and salt lines on the canal walls show the successful leaching of the salt (09:38). Two men examine the rice crop. Several of the town’s farmers walk along a village street (10:11).

It has portions that appear to date to 1934-35, and some parts that appear to be from as early as 1929 (dates based on Kodak edge codes) and was shot by someone named "PJ" who chronicled his trip Out West. The film begins with images of an Indian cliff dwelling, likely at Tonto National Monument in Arizona near Payson. At :35 the film moves to Tombstone, Arizona, where the annual "Helldorado Days" festivities are underway. According to George Mihal, who rescued and preserved this film, it features several important personalities. First is John Philip Clum, the first mayor of Tombstone and founder of The Tombstone Epitaph newspaper. Also present is William Billy Breckenridge who served as deputy sheriff under Sheriff John Behan. Various members of the San Carlos Apache tribe are also visible. At 1:13, early Kodachrome color footage shows other members of the tribe including one in close up (1:22). At 1:26 the Crystal Palace in Tombstone is shown as a parade winds along Fremont Street. A stagecoach, Civil War soldiers and cowboys on horseback are shown along with a parade of covered wagons. At 3:05 a re-enactor draws his gun while at 3:06 crowds thrill to a mock stagecoach hold-up. At 3:44 a banner proclaims "Helldorado".  This is followed by a gunfight at 3:50 which appears to be a re-enactment of the famous OK Corral gun battle. At 4:22 the Birdcage Theater is shown. At 4:40 are sweeping vistas of Southern Arizona desert and mountains.

“Industry On Parade was a television series created by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) from 1950-1960. The series consisted of weekly episodes that highlighted American manufacturing and business. Hundreds of companies and products were documented during the [program’s] decade-long run.” This 1955 episode (no. 247) begins with a look at making an atomic clock in Massachusetts, starting with a shot of a grandfather clock then one of an industrial facility (presumably the National Company, Inc) in Malden, MA. Inside a National Company, Inc. laboratory (01:02), a man assembles an atomic clock. He puts cesium into an electric oven and places the small oven into a tube and lowers it into a pressure chamber. Dr. Richard Daley explains to his colleagues how an atomic clock works inside the room. Viewers see several examples of atomic clocks powered by the cesium and tube. At MIT’s Research Laboratory of Electronics (03:24), Professor Gerald Zacharias goes over the periodic table, then he shows how atoms can be controlled using a marble and ramp example. The episode’s second segment takes viewers to the Scripto, Inc. manufacturing plant in Atlanta, GA (04:51), where the company manufactures ballpoint pencils. Women mold plastic pencil bodies and stamp them into the traditional hexagonal shape. A man polishes the tiny ball point used for releasing liquid lead cartridges (05:49). Replaceable cartridge tubes are manufactured and come off a conveyer belt. A machine drills a tip then inserts the ball point for the pencil. Women assemble the pencils and put the pencils into holders on a conveyer belt, which move down to have erasers placed on the tops of them. In the following segment, two businessmen at San Francisco Western Machinery Company look at a new pump that uses a recessed ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/48044076-9b55-48fc-8012-5a6f19a11047/1964ab44-4aed-4d34-99e8-73b464b1152a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9TMLZmPr9aM8T9zFzsr4q4</video:player_loc><video:duration>816</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T02:34:37.246Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/opcpoy7VzEey495Fv4qTeb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/59180ddc-4a4a-453b-a1d6-8c790ea63690.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  EARLY HOLLYWOOD  EDISON MOVIE CAMERA   TYPING CONTEST  TRAIN WRECK 94844</video:title><video:description>This black and white film is one of the episodes of "Yesterday's Newsreels", an early 1950s TV show made from the General Newsreel collection.

This silent reel of gun camera footage shows the activities of pilots of the VIIIth Air Force Fighter Command in the skies over Occupied Europe in July, 1944. At this time it appears the VIII was flying the P-47, P-38 and P-51 Mustang and it was D-Day plus roughly one month, so many of the air operations appear to have been offensive in nature, disrupting German supply lines in the form of railroads, roads, bridges and air fields in line Gen. Jimmy Doolittle's strategy. 

Pilots mentioned include Lt. F. C. Neslam of the 504th Squadron at 12:15, Lt. R.P. Tibor at 9:08, Lt. L.L. Earls at 2:09, Lt. K.T. Crawford at 2:53, Lt. D.G. Elliot at 5:12, Lt. T.B. Luckett at 6:07, Lt. L.E. Jaklich at 7:49, Lt. C.C. Gould at 9:38, Lt. M.M. Coons at 11:00, Lt. W.H. Allen at 13:41, Capt. J.J. May at 15:09, Lt. Auchincloss at 15:45, and Lt. Rafferty at 16:19.

Each one of these pilots can likely be identified with a little searching. Lt. Auchincloss is almost certainly Lt. Bayard C. Auchincloss, who the Internet indicates flew a P-47 named "The New Yorker", and who survived the war and lived until 2001 when he died at the ripe old age of 79. 

The VIII Fighter Command was a United States Army Air Forces unit of command above the Wings and below the numbered air force. Its primary mission was command and control of fighter operations within the Eighth Air Force. In the World War II European Theater, its primary mission was air superiority. Its last assignment was with the United States Air Forces in Europe, being stationed at RAF Honington,

When Lt. Gen. Jimmy Doolittle took command of the Eighth Air Force in January 1944, he initiated a policy change. Previously, fighters were largely tied to the bombers, but Doolittle and General Kepner freed many fighters to go "down on the deck" and allowed them to become far more aggressive. The fighters were now able to seek out the Luf...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d51f08c7-76e6-4447-9ca2-d5f698030f6e/b3b462ed-3318-4bd5-a602-eed933c5cb93-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sjoMu7xsqEhgENMVwCpbJJ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1008</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T02:39:22.444Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iiAuvuHsBCTncHQN6ZnnJX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/87e903b5-633b-42ce-9c06-7fd059d80807.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1944 FORESTRY &amp; LUMBER INDUSTRY DOCUMENTARY "TOMORROW'S TIMBER" 46284</video:title><video:description>Produced by Vancouver Motion Pictures for Canada’s Department of Mines &amp; Resources, this 1944 educational/public awareness film advocates forest fire prevention while also giving viewers a look at the important role forests play in Canada’s timber economy (and, to a lesser extent, public recreation) and how Canada fights forest fires. The film opens with footage of a ghost town: old wooden buildings are abandoned, some charred from an earlier fire. The film then cuts to a vibrant town with a busy main street. People shop at the stores, a truck hauls lumber, and several people work on building a church. There are several different shots of a lumber mill (01:57). Men saw down a tree and then saw the fallen tree into smaller logs. There are several shots of wildlife, including ducks and deer. A couple enjoys a leisure walk through a forest (02:55); the man lights a cigarette and throws the match on the ground without ensuring its flame is completely out. Footage shows a fire spreading through the forest and burning trees and underbrush. The film shows a ruined mill left in ashes (03:40). Some homes are damaged; pieces of destroyed machinery from the mill sit amid the ash and rubble. The small town is now a ghost town. The film presents several good shots of Canadian forests (05:10), footage of a man riding in a sled pulled by dogs, and footage of men building a log cabin (05:47). Next, viewers see some of the machines used at a working lumber mill: a band saw runs; a chipper spews mulch into a pile; and a crane hoists large logs (06:44). Upriver from the mill, logs are floated down. A handful of men unclog a logjam on the river. Two men cut down a massive tree, possibly a Douglas fir (07:44). Logs are lowered down onto the bed of a semitruck, which then hauls the logs away (08:10). At the lumber mill, a lumber straddle carrier picks up lumber and moves it (09:09). Soft wood tree logs cover the entire surface of a river (09:30). At a pulp mill, rolls of paper are mov...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8c2041e9-707e-43bf-a553-bc6d8c61a227/789a70e4-3496-4300-a2e1-3ea025236aef-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iiAuvuHsBCTncHQN6ZnnJX</video:player_loc><video:duration>1088</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T02:42:49.315Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wDwEMkJJH7wAddKBh1ccWc</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/33c740ae-8629-40ca-a372-a00e12fe5f09.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s MEXICO ROAD TRIP   TOLUCA  ZITACUARO  MORELIA URUPAN, PARACUTIN, GUADALAJARA 44474</video:title><video:description>Shot by an American traveler, this silent 16mm home movie documents a trip to Mexico City, Toluca, Zitacuaro, Morelia, Uruapan and Paracutin in the 1950s.

This late 1960s educational color film (#14-675) provides an overview of the introductory principles for using punched cards in punched card data processing using the IBM 029 Key Punch machine, which was introduced in 1964. This film is one of a seven-part series produced by Moreland-Latchford and distributed by Sterling Educational Films. This film covers an introduction to the punched card, numeric organization, alphabetic principles, reading, fields, and card design. The film opens with people working on punched card machines in an office. A roll of paper is fed into a printing drum and the punched cards are cut. A cut card is measured for accuracy (01:12). Viewers see the various card colors. Punched cards are stacked and sorted in a sorting machine (01:45). The film shows one style of punched card with a cut corner. There is a closeup shot of the rows of numbers on each card (02:43): 12 rows and 80 columns. The film shows various punched cards, then shows a person using a marker to mark off how a numeric value would be punched on a card. Next, the film reviews how letters are transferred onto a punched card using the zone fields and numbers. The film encourages viewers to memorize a sequence of numbers related to the division of letters as they relate to numeric values (06:33). Someone retrieves a punched card from a file drawer of cards (07:10). An image is used to show how a contact roller reads a punched card. There is a shot of a card broken up into fields of columns (08:51). The film then reviews how to break up fields to record an employee’s name, employee number, and employee’s phone number.

This late 1960s educational color film (#14-677) provides an operational overview for programming the key punch on the IBM 029 Key Punch machine, which was introduced in 1964. It is one of a seven-part series produced by Moreland-Latchford and distributed by Sterling Educational Films. This film reviews the program unit, the components of a program on a punched card, preparing program cards, programming a program card, and the verifier component of the IBM 029. The film opens with a shot of a woman sitting in front of an IBM 029, a washing machine (for comparison of functionality), and a woman taking out different program cards. The IBM 029’s sensing device reads the punched card (01:37). The film shows the program control lever in the off position. A woman handles a drum with a punched card on it. There is a closeup of program cards with 12-punch fields. Program cards are run through the machine. A woman types a program card (05:10). She then takes out the drum and the program card. She inserts programming cards into the IBM machine (07:28). The film shows a pink program card for a student name, gender, date of birth, phone number, and street address. The operator takes out a punched card and compares it to the original (10:18). There is a closeup shot of 12-punch pins on the cards (11:00). A verifier operator repeats the keystrokes to check for accuracy; an error light comes on when an error is detected. A notch is punched on the right of the card when it is verified as correct by the machine. The film shows a stack of cards with notches, making it easy for the operator to quickly identify the cards that have an error (as they don’t have a notch).

A punched card or punch card is a piece of stiff paper that can be used to contain...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f707d8f5-7a2f-4b9c-9e2b-c6fa8545a590/e3c191da-4008-46bf-bd67-f1917488d4e6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wvfNaMnYueR69Zm6Nxm3aN</video:player_loc><video:duration>803</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T02:54:16.416Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1XrHLdocD6qRcm9moNvrBk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c96db177-e243-410d-bb88-5b253782b73f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BRITISH ARMY 1930s TOMMY GUN, ANTI-TANK RIFLE, BREN &amp; RIFLE TRAINING FILM  70514</video:title><video:description>This late 1930s-early 1940s black-and-white WWII British military training film (B.191 C.191) shows segments focusing on “shooting to kill” using a Bren, rifle, anti-tank rifle, or Tommy gun, which are shown (:15-1:24). Bren and Rifle. A demonstration of when to fire with the Bren and rifle is given. Troops wait in a trench. A Range Card is shown. Enemy troops emerge from the trees.

The film was made by National Carbide which marketed its products under the trade name Airco. 

At 8:23, the film shows how acetylene was used to power the headlights of early automobiles. At 9:04 the use of acetylene for welding and cutting in the forge is shown. At 9:44, calcium carbide is used to remove sulfur from cast iron in a steel mill. At 10:33 atomic models show the structure of the calcium carbide molecule. At 10:58, plastics made from calcium chloride are shown including Koroseal and Geon. At 11:02 a slide rule made from the plastic is shown as well as early plastic packaging. At 11;15 plastic gloves and toys, records and playing cards are shown made from these kind of acetylene based plastics. At 12:12 neoprene rubber is shown. At 13:09 drugs for dentists are shown including Trichloroethylene which is used as a pain killer.   

Calcium carbide, also known as calcium acetylide, is a chemical compound with the chemical formula of CaC2. Its main use industrially is in the production of acetylene and calcium cyanamide.

The pure material is colorless, however pieces of technical-grade calcium carbide are grey or brown and consist of about 80–85% of CaC2 (the rest is CaO (calcium oxide), Ca3P2 (calcium phosphide), CaS (calcium sulfide), Ca3N2 (calcium nitride), SiC (silicon carbide), etc.). In the presence of trace moisture, technical-grade calcium carbide emits an unpleasant odor reminiscent of garlic.

Applications of calcium carbide include manufacture of acetylene gas, and for generation of acetylene in carbide lamps; manufacture of chemicals for fertilizer; and in steelmaking.

"Standing on the Shoulders of Giants" tells the story of the Apollo 17 mission -- the final mission in the program. 

Apollo 17 (December 7–19, 1972) was the final mission of NASA's Apollo program; it remains the most recent time humans have travelled beyond low Earth orbit. Its crew consisted of Commander Eugene Cernan, Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt, and Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans, and it carried a biological experiment containing five mice.

Launched at 12:33 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) on December 7, 1972, Apollo 17 was a "J-type mission" that included three days on the lunar surface, extended scientific capability, and the use of the third Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV).

Cernan and Schmitt landed in the Taurus–Littrow valley and completed three moonwalks, taking lunar samples and deploying scientific instruments. The landing site had been chosen to further the mission's main goals: to sample lunar highland material older than Mare Imbrium, and to investigate the possibility of relatively recent volcanic activity. Evans remained in lunar orbit in the command and service module (CSM), taking scientific measurements and photographs.

Cernan, Evans, Schmitt, and the mice returned to Earth on December 19.

Apollo 17 was the first mission to have no one on board who had been a test pilot; X-15 test pilot Joe Engle lost the lunar module pilot assignment to Schmitt, a geologist. The mission included the first night launch of a U.S. human spaceflight and the final crewed launch of a Saturn V rocket. It was also the final use of Apollo hardware for its original purpose (extra Apollo spacecraft were later used in the Skylab and Apollo–Soyuz programs).

The mission broke several crewed spaceflight records: the longest Moon landing, longest total extravehicular activities (moonwalks), largest lunar ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b68f343c-aa6d-475b-b00d-6abed82d55d0/aac70e9a-6278-41a6-9fa7-c813e9691e4b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oxvn9Yb9aaHo1kVtkzRJLq</video:player_loc><video:duration>1727</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T03:26:15.671Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2kGjR7kTpLvteYpL8NjuTw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b09f0396-4f15-4d5e-b25e-ff03c71dd182.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ELKHART SELECT-O-STREAM® MYSTERY FOG NOZZLES  FIREFIGHTING TECHNIQUES "MASTER SPRAY STREAM" 62274</video:title><video:description>This 1954 film report from the Exploratory Committee on the application of water (sponsored jointly by the Fire Department Instructors Conference and the Fire Service Training Association and composed of fire chiefs, instructors in firemanship and fire protection engineers), and presented by the Elkhart line of Select-O-Stream Mystery Fog Nozzles, shows the 8 and 9 July 1954 large-scale fire test on a building in Kansas City, MO testing firefighting techniques using Elkhart’s JN 200 nozzle on three test fires ignited in the same building.

(TF 1-162), is part of the Airplane Hydraulic Brakes training films and covers the basic principles of braking, looks at the two braking systems on planes (independent system for lighter aircraft and integral system for heavier planes), and reviews the mechanical operations of the hydraulic brake. The film opens with a person flipping through a book. Basic animation shows a large plane (possibly a rendering of a Curtiss-Wright C-46 Commando) as it is landing, explaining how motion energy is changed to heat energy in the brake. The animation gives a scenario of a 36,000-pound plane flying at 90 mph (03:05) and what kind of energy is needed for braking. What appears to be a C-46 Commando lands on a grassy field (05:01). An illustration is used to show the different braking systems inside a plane (integral and independent systems). Animation is then used to show how the various components of a hydraulic braking system work: the film covers the pistons and cylinders, actuating cylinder, compression springs, and brake drum. The film shows footage of a large truck braking (10:36), as well as a large airplane—both use a power brake system. It shows a hydraulic braking system’s accumulator tank (10:57), which stores the system’s pressure. The film shows an illustration of the pressure control valve system, and reviews how the hydraulic fluid moves through the braking system, moving fluid from the reservoir to the brake. The film then shows several shots of actual braking systems on airplane wheels (15:38), featuring a debooster to reduce the pressure going to the smaller brakes on the wheels. The film concludes with a brief recap of the independent and integral braking systems.

A hydraulic brake is an arrangement of braking mechanism which uses brake fluid, typically containing glycol ethers or diethylene glycol, to transfer pressure from the controlling mechanism to the braking mechanism.

Western Electric Company (WE, WECo) was an American electrical engineering and manufacturing company that served as the primary supplier to AT&amp;T from 1881 to 1996, and to the local Bell Operating Companies until 1984. The company was responsible for many technological innovations and seminal developments in industrial management. It also served as the purchasing agent for the member companies of the Bell System.

In electronics, a vacuum tube, an electron tube or valve (British usage) or, colloquially, a tube (North America) is a device that controls electric current flow in a high vacuum between electrodes to which an electric potential difference has been applied.

The type known as a thermionic tube or thermionic valve uses the phenomenon of thermionic emission of electrons from a heated cathode and is used for a number of fundamental electronic functions such as signal amplification and current rectification.

Non-thermionic types, such as a vacuum phototube however, achieve electron emission through the photoelectric ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e06e88a6-8123-4a33-86bc-b9ab67e5a971/1468fd9a-7f06-46df-b4b3-bca42b30b42c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tHpcpiiTJG9bnEqfZzCcBF</video:player_loc><video:duration>865</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T03:56:25.051Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qCaPzm2P42SdnY83js5NST</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4b8ccb71-4580-493b-a9f2-7a9db6d665bf.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1959 PAN AM AIRLINES FILM  WINGS TO CENTRAL AMERICA, GUATEMALA, COSTA RICA &amp; MEXICO    45214</video:title><video:description>This 1959 film from Pan American World Airways gives viewers a look at the people, architecture, and natural wonders of Central America and Mexico.

The film provides an interesting "gunner's eye view" of the reticle or firing ring that a WWII gunner or pilot would have seen, complete with a "dot" in the center. This was likely a type of reflector sight although the camera doesn't give a good impression of how the ring would disappear when viewed from attitudes not 90-degrees forward . The start of the film shows a fairly normal view of the sky as seen by a standard GSAP camera, with a "notch" visible on four sides and a "lever" on the upper left. At :28 the reflector is added with strong effect.

A reflector sight or reflex sight is an optical device that allows the user to look through a partially reflecting glass element and see an illuminated projection of an aiming point or some other image superimposed on the field of view. These sights work on the simple optical principle that anything at the focus of a lens or curved mirror (such as an illuminated reticle) will look like it is sitting in front of the viewer at infinity. Reflector sights employ some sort of "reflector" to allow the viewer to see the infinity image and the field of view at the same time, either by bouncing the image created by lens off a slanted glass plate, or by using a mostly clear curved glass reflector that images the reticle while the viewer looks through the reflector. Since the reticle is at infinity it stays in alignment with the device the sight is attached to regardless of the viewer's eye position, removing most of the parallax and other sighting errors found in simple sighting devices.

Since their invention in 1900, reflector sights have come to be used as gun sights on all kinds of weapons. They were used on fighter aircraft, in a limited capacity in World War I, widely used in World War II, and still used as the base component in many types of modern head-up displays. They have been used in other types of (usu...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b0180069-8162-4b27-8103-aa0432163ce9/1ad875d7-b824-4ff0-b259-e757ea724455-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nKcwVYwpgRNqRDTtcMnxyn</video:player_loc><video:duration>457</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T04:03:04.976Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fihos4N47MJX3pDoGf6PHS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/925a0e1c-88e1-4206-9c66-558b75816434.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SAFETY BELTS A SMASHING SUCCESS  UCLA AUTO SAFETY &amp; SEATBELT PROMOTIONAL FILM 89974</video:title><video:description>Based on the Charles Cahill film Red Light Return from 1965, this 1975 safety film discusses the importance of wearing seatbelts while in vehicles and features interviews with racecar drivers Alan Johnson and Mark Donahue, interviews with everyday drivers, footage of crash impact tests conducted by UCLA, and plenty of footage of 1960s and 1970s vehicles driving on California’s streets, highways, and freeways. The film opens with footage of people watching one of the inaugural IROC races at Riverside International Raceway in the early 1970s, where drivers race their modified Porsche RSRs around the track. Driver Alan Johnson talks to the camera from his RSR about seatbelts (01:48). Cars move in traffic and drive along California highways. There is a good shot of cars driving over a bridge with arid landscape in the background (03:35). At a UCLA research test site, a car crashes into a parked car (03:45). Footage shows damage to the body of various vehicles that were in auto accidents. A group of young people walk to their cars (04:58). A mother tries to get her children to sit down in the car before driving them to school. Several “everyday” drivers give their thoughts on wearing seatbelts. A truck pulls a trailer along a highway (06:01). Footage from the point of view of a driver shows scenes from driving down a residential street. Cars drive on a freeway. There are shots of damaged cars at a wrecking yard (06:55). At UCLA’s Institute of Traffic and Engineering, dummies are used to measure impact of crashes (08:12); slow motion footage shows dummies being ejected from a car as it crashes into another car. A car crashes into the side of a school bus at the testing site, and footage from inside the bus shows the dummies being thrown into the ceiling and walls. A man dives off a diving board (09:52).

Focusing on naval operations in the Pacific Ocean, the film’s narrator stresses that because of the warm water in the region, a threat of an attack from under the water is a real danger. Although submarines proved themselves more than capable during World War II to handle any enemy on or below the the sea, Seabees (members of the Navy’s Construction Battalion) also constructed airfields for aviators across the Pacific to protect the sky.

After WW2, Navy personnel helped modernize native islanders, teaching them new methods of farming and providing trained medical personnel. “Naval medical and dental officers … established higher standards of health and to lower the rate of infant mortality,” the viewer is told starting at mark 02:32 as scenes of physical exams of adults and children are shown.

The Navy encouraged self government by the people, and following a directive by the United Nations, built schools. “The Navy was committed to establishing and maintaining democracy in the Pacific,” we are told starting near mark 03:00. “The days of the Navy and Marine assaults on the enemy had ended — we were told.”

A foreboding note and one that restates the potential for conflict in the region.

Mark 04:00 introduces us to the Korean War, as an aerial view of the USS Antietam (CVE-36) is shown at sea. “The peace in the Pacific had been shattered.”

Submarines protected shipping and supply lanes while above destroyers and aircraft carriers remained vigilant, backed up by repair ships as well as fueling and supply ships, as noted at mark 06:23.

Operating the lifeline for the combined Navy and Marine forces was the Navy’s Military Sea Transportation Services (MSTS), which transported over one million military personnel,15 million tons of food and ammunition, and 50 million barrels of fuel across the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c36c80f4-f84d-44c9-90b4-40192bb0c533/dbbcbf2c-5b72-4855-b252-60ee5558a5b9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/q8DgL38Jr1BgxLjYwAgMzM</video:player_loc><video:duration>936</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T04:09:10.567Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jMvrQjdUR2f1pU14xfEaNk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7940b498-979b-46b5-856a-5d0b38d9436c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE WASTED YEARS"  1960s STATEVILLE PRISON DOCUMENTARY   ILLINOIS PRISON SYSTEM  PENITENTIARY 14594</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

The Wasted Years is a 1960s television documentary disclosing the impoverished existence of prison life.  There is a great deal of handheld camerawork intersected with interviews and audio samplings of inmates.  The use of makeshift lighting and low angles lends an atmospheric quality to many interior scenes.

The film opens with a camera tracking backwards alongside a prison guard as superimposed shots of inmates fade in to discuss the worthlessness of prison life.  “If I had it to do it all over again, knowing that I would never get out, I would rather have been executed.” Opening titles roll, accompanied by moody guitar.  The camera zooms out from an Illinois State Penitentiary sign (1:12) and then pans to prison gates with narrator Hugh Hill who introduces Stateville penitentiary as “one of the toughest cell houses.”  A penitentiary bus leads the viewer through prison gates. The film details prison routine beginning at 7am in Cell Block D.  Guards affirm a headcount from the cellblock gallery, a solitary guard yells, “Chow!” and the prisoners file out.  A lifer describes the “World of Can’t” that is controlled penitentiary life.  Warden Frank Pate speaks about the intense conditions at Stateville (7:04).  Pate shows off a case of contraband, mostly weapons—sharpened spoons, a spoon skeleton key, a sharpened brace of a bed, etc. (8:22).  Solitary confinement, called “isolation” is shown (9:35).  An inmate is walked and locked into Isolation as the terms of solitary confinement are described. “Segregation” cells are shown and described.  An inmate is interviewed who has managed to obtain a high school education while in Stateville (13:00).  High school and grammar school are shown (13:44) along with ESL classes.  Prisoner art is shown and discussed (15:53). A machine shop is shown, jazz music playing in the background, the creation of shop-made contraband i...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/981f1ca5-7df8-49c1-ba84-23182cd094b3/2d0ec3f2-e6c8-4f05-915b-34136cad92b3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jMvrQjdUR2f1pU14xfEaNk</video:player_loc><video:duration>2345</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T04:14:34.568Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uuKM4DAgjK11Py5UgyTVaE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bd32b403-adc9-467a-86c3-c10629f5e171.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1962 COMMUNIST CHINA DOCUMENTARY  "RED CHINA" PART 2   14684</video:title><video:description>In this episode of "Red China" host Chet Huntley traces the consolidation of power by Mao Tse-tung and China’s Communist Party then gives an inside look at the country following the slowing (or collapse) of the “Great Leap Forward” courtesy of footage from Swiss photographer Fernand Gigon. Part 2 focuses on the footage Gigon captured during his 1961 visit and begins with Chet Huntley addressing the camera. Then the episode cuts to a Chinese delegation in Canada walking with Canadian officials. Footage shows rural China from the window of a train. Gigon sits on a bed in what appears to be a hotel room and discusses filming in China and how he had to smuggle his film out of the country (01:32). The episode shows Gigon’s footage, starting with shots of Canton (Guangzhou) and the hotel where Gigon stayed (02:11), followed by footage of the Pearl River, men rowing boats, and people pulling wagons loaded with wood, sacks, or cargo boxes along Canton’s streets. People stand on a sidewalk and read the People’s Party newspaper (03:09). A soldier stands amid a group of civilians. Children look through propaganda comic books (03:43). Men unload baskets of cucumbers in Canton (04:10). A man sits above the river, presumably on a sampan, eating a meal. There are more shots of the boats and what Gigon calls the “Sampan people.” At a Sampan community (most likely a Tanka community), children learn the Chinese alphabet (05:12). Due to a shortage of school buildings, some children learn outdoors. Women lift a heavy drum up a steep ramp (06:11). People stretch iron bars in a street. Footage shows people turning a hand-powered mill, and sailboats moving on the river. Gigon then shares his footage from Peking (Beijing), starting with footage taken while driving down the Avenue of Long Peace, also known as Eternal Peace Street or Chang’an Avenue (07:25). People wait in food queues. Chinese walk down a street (08:10), including women with bound feet.

Postcards From Dalmatia is a colorful 1960s travel film promoting tourism along the coast of what is now Croatia and Montenegro. 

The film opens with titles printed over painted scenes and a buoyant folk song.  Notable crew includes cinematographer Arthur Wooster, director Adrian de Potier, and narrator James McKechnie.  A busy train station is crowded with tourists (0:33).  The film cuts to a small cruise ship, the S.S. Jadrolinija, bound from Venice for islands off the coast of then-Yugoslavia.  Tourists relax in deckchairs, we hear their voices in the form of imaginary letters to folks back home.  The view shifts to the harbor at Rijeka and then Opatija, showing multi-decked bathing piers, shots of tourists on the beach (2:52), and a large seaside slide (3:20).  The film cuts to a small fishing boat travelling among islands as a tourist describes the great time he’s had fishing with some locals.  A small island restaurant is shown, “a quaint little stone box on the edge of the sea” (5:38).  A fisherman is shown mending nets (6:00).  Jazzy music kicks in and tourists are shown sunbathing (6:23).  A young man describes himself as newly “a man of the world,” and lists adjectives for the nationalities of various lady vacationers.  The montage of women ends with a water-skier and swinging flute as the young man enthuses he’s ready to “go man, go” (7:22).  The film cuts to scenic natural views (7:36), young people are shown swimming and diving in an idyllic river.  The film moves to Šibenik, “for those who want to rub a little culture into their suntan.”  The exterior of a 15th century cathedral is shown in detail (8:31) including medieval sculptures and a frieze of heads, some of which are shown in close up (9:22).

Alcohol is Dynamite (1958) is an educational scare film warning young people of the dangers of alcohol.  Sid Davis Productions heads the main title frame, neat Mid-Century font centered in a sunburst design.  Dramatic music blares, the film’s location is listed as Inglewood.  A sign reading “LIQUOR” opens the story.  The film introduces two young men trying to buy beer.  They shoulder-tap the narrator.  An illustration of an XXX-labeled liquor bottle transforms into a bottle of lit dynamite (1:19). 

The narrator tells the two boys the story of Paul, Jim and Tip.  Enter Paul, carrying a guitar case and a bottle of hooch (1:35).  Tip and Jim pull up in a convertible. “You’d be surprised at how little it takes to get you tight that first time,” states the narrator, “alcohol is a violent narcotic.”  The boys drink on some public stairs.  Paul ridiculously tosses the bottle off-screen (3:05).  As the narrator discusses alcohol’s effects on the brain Paul’s profile fades to a stylized illustration of a man with a large arrow pointing to his frontal lobe (3:14).  The drawing changes to an ape as the narrator discusses alcohol’s suppression of reason (3:29).  The stairway scene continues, Paul dramatically passed out.  The scene fades to an illustration of a teen in a letterman sweater, shaky lines indicating intoxication and confusion (3:54), this image changes to a drunk lying on a curb (4:03).  Cut to a cemetery, a further stage of drunkenness: “brother, you’re a dead duck” (4:14).  The film shows the exterior of Scotty’s Diner, the boys are seen through a window spiking their Cokes. Afterwards, the film shows cops pulling Jim over and finding a bottle (4:51).  Cut to a police station— Jim’s dad escorts his son home.  The boys drive up with some girlfriends, “even dates were no fun anymore without a bottle.”  (5:51).  Music turns dramatic as the group is shown at...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b04e3bce-3449-463c-bdf0-9fc8e45a1785/f99d7574-6695-48b6-b35d-c9eece3ebe62-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nLHwWpkYw6vxfCwbET9GRt</video:player_loc><video:duration>658</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T04:25:35.041Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sAx4uvzhYGByJujjraH9Bd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a3f8ce2d-b7da-410a-ab3d-050d84f48c8c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>EXPEDITION! TV SHOW   SUBMARINE USS SEADRAGON 1960 NORTHWEST PASSAGE CRUISE 21934</video:title><video:description>In this episode of the early 1960s American travel documentary series Expedition! hosted by Col. John D. Craig, viewers are taken on the voyage of the U.S. Navy submarine USS Seadragon as it navigates its way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific via the Arctic ice cap in 1960. The episode begins with Craig showing a Navy diving suit as he talks to the audience. Commander George P. Steele talks with Craig about the Seadragon’s expedition under the ice (01:43).

The 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge, the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge, was a suspension bridge in the U.S. state of Washington that spanned the Tacoma Narrows strait of Puget Sound between Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. It opened to traffic on July 1, 1940, and dramatically collapsed into Puget Sound on November 7 of the same year. At the time of its construction (and its destruction), the bridge was the third-longest suspension bridge in the world in terms of main span length, behind the Golden Gate Bridge and the George Washington Bridge.

This movie of the collapse of the bridge was recorded on 16mm motion picture film by Barney Elliott, owner of a local camera shop. The film shows Leonard Coatsworth attempting to rescue his dog—without success—and then leaving the bridge. In 1998, The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant. This footage is still shown to engineering, architecture, and physics students as a cautionary tale. Elliott's original films of the construction and collapse of the bridge were shot on 16 mm Kodachrome film, but most copies in circulation are in black and white because newsreels of the day copied the film onto 35 mm black-and-white stock. Most copies in circulation also show the bridge oscillating approximately 50% faster than real time, due to an assumption during conversion that the film was shot at 24 frames per second rather than the actual 16 fps.

Construction on the bridge began in September 1938. From the time the deck was built, it began to move vertically in windy conditions, which led to construction workers giving the bridge the nickname Galloping Gertie. The motion was observed even when the bridge opened to the publi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4b472252-499a-4aa8-a555-e7c8753ee702/2b471f26-c666-49f4-a7d7-110324d4f4e0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ai9vmkZStNvAmJa35arqmA</video:player_loc><video:duration>264</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T04:45:03.667Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jwuTjkUvy598VpaEKffgpV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/705acf36-d4c1-44f6-9741-94d2436d1507.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1972 CHEVROLET PICK-UP TRUCK vs. FORD MODELS   CHEVY BLAZER  GENERAL MOTORS PROMOTIONAL FILM  19324</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Made in 1972 for General Motors, this film shows the full line of Chevrolet pick-up trucks and gives salesmen and potential customers insight into the line's durability and value. As the film states, almost 56% of Chevy trucks made in the 1950s were still in service in the early 1970s thanks to their rugged design.

Made in 1975 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or EPA, "Trash to Kilowatts" shows an experimental project in St. Louis, Missouri where trash is incinerated to produce electricity. The experiment began in May, 1972, and the film shows how trash is compressed, ferrous metals are removed using magnets, and the remains pulverized and added to fossil fuels at a generating plant. The Merrimack Electric Plant seen at 4:30, was run by Union Electric, and according to the film six tons of coal was eliminated from the power plant as a result of the addition of the garbage. Unfortunately the experiment was short lived, as numerous problems including financial overruns were encountered and by 1976 the experiment was ended.

The pilot was to be French ace Renee Ronck, who is seen at 1:25 in the newsreel. His plane was an American twin-engined sesquiplane transport later modified to use three-engines. It was designed and built by the Sikorsky Manufacturing Company for an attempt by Rene Fonck on a non-stop Atlantic crossing for the Orteig Prize. It was destroyed in the attempt.

The S-35 was designed as a twin-engined transport with a 1,000-mile (1,600-kilometre) range. During 1926 Rene Fonck, a French First World War fighter ace, was looking for a multi-engine aircraft to enter a competition to be the first to fly non-stop from New York to Paris. The prize was $25,000, offered by Raymond Orteig. Fonck had Sikorsky redesign the aircraft with three engines.

The S-35 was a sesquiplane with a fixed tailskid landing gear. It was modified to take three 425 hp (317 kW) Gnome-Rhône Jupiter 9A radial engines and fitted with jettisonable auxiliary landing gear.[2] These modifications took time to complete and the aircraft first flew on 23 August 1926 from Roosevelt Field. Sikorsky started a series of test flights but as none were at the maximum takeoff weight of 24,200 pounds (11,000 kg), Sikorsky wanted to delay the transatlantic crossing until early 1927, but the promoters of the flight would not accept a delay and the aircraft was prepared for the crossing.

The first transatlantic attempt was scheduled for the September 16 but was abandoned after the aircraft developed a fuel leak.The next available break in the weather was to be the 21 September and the aircraft was fueled during the previous night from 50 barrels of gasoline. When the aircraft was weighed it was found to be 4,000 pounds (1,800 kg) overweight. Rene Fonck insisted on carrying a sofa and refrigerator o...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bc52786a-2ac3-46c4-9159-d1c6384337e3/ed7d02bc-afe5-49ab-9f41-73b0a17b6f24-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pfMdPk3gVjXqvxaforv11c</video:player_loc><video:duration>494</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T05:29:25.915Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ke8ZLV2heXampnAkwkpdkB</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/92086349-3a1d-4fc5-8f97-830024b6364c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s ISLAND OF MARGARITA TRAVELOGUE DOCUMENTARY  VENEZUELA SOUTH AMERICA 47714</video:title><video:description>Margarita is a short travel film produced by the Hamilton Wright Organization for the Government of Venezuela. The film, likely from the 1940s and narrated by Jack Costello, gives viewers a look at the Caribbean island off the coast of South America. The film opens with a shot of boats off the shore of Margarita, presumably near the main town of Porlamar. Men drive donkey-drawn carts from the beach, sharing the road with automobiles. Two tourists, a man and a woman, arrive at Porlamar’s airport (01:33). They visit a shop where a local woman sews a hat for the female tourist (02:15). In the bay, a man puts on a mask and dives off a boat to hunt for pearl-bearing oysters (02:39). On the beach, the divers go through the oysters looking for pearls. The divers give several oysters to the tourists, who walk up. The man and the woman decide to look for oysters themselves, and they put on flippers and snorkels and go out snorkeling (03:49). A Venezuelan archeologist shows a vase he found while he was excavating a site (04:20). The tourists walk out on top of an old fort that affords a good view of Margarita (05:02). They hold an old French cannon ball. The film then goes to the town and harbor of Juangriego (05:50), showing viewers a church. In the bay, the two tourists go waterskiing. Later, the man strolls along a rocky shoreline as waves crash about him. He then walks along a sandy beach with the woman, stopping to climb a tree and fetch her a coconut. The couple look at a rock formation next to the water (07:27), while a little farther out at sea, birds roost on a larger rock. The film shows local men on fishing boats drop nets (07:55) and, then with the help of other members of the town, pull in the massive nets. The large catch brings in tuna; the tuna are tossed on shore. The film concludes with two dances: women dance in traditional Venezuelan clothes (09:17), then boys and women dance a fishing story dance, wearing hand-made boat costumes and holding a fish repl...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9bb33b38-4aa7-4e3d-9ff4-5741a3c22b69/dded0386-4da4-4b41-a9ce-5bea21828f0b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ke8ZLV2heXampnAkwkpdkB</video:player_loc><video:duration>623</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T05:30:26.142Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mjsMSKjkwW9BTfgQuXQiws</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/012e2148-eb8c-4cf7-a330-009cdf0f9f46.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"HANK GOES FISHING"  1960 ARIZONA TRAVELOGUE  TUCSON TOMBSTONE  NOGALES MEXICO BORDER  WILLCOX 68884</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Tommy is slow to wake up in his bed; his sister enters his bedroom and pinches his nose. Tommy shows her his loose tooth. Their mother walks in and hugs the children. In the bathroom, Tommy demonstrates proper hygiene while his sister waits for her turn at the sink. Tommy washes his face with soap and a washcloth, then he washes his hands and, lastly, brushes his teeth. His sister follows the same routine. Tommy takes his clothes out of his dresser and gets dressed (04:35). The children’s father greets them as they enter the kitchen for breakfast. The mother pours the children glasses of milk. The father kisses his wife goodbye and leaves for work (06:16). At school, Tommy shows his teacher his loose tooth (06:40). The teacher shows the kids a poster of how permanent teeth come in and push out baby teeth. She then shows them pictures of a dentist, a cavity on a tooth, and healthy foods to eat. A bunny, the class pet, eats in its cage (08:44). The children crowd around the bunny’s cage, giving the animal fresh food and water. Next, the children are shown playing outside on the playground (10:22), climbing on a jungle gym and swinging. Once home from school, Tommy goes into the kitchen where his mother gives him milk and crackers (11:10). Later, Tommy sits and reads a book, then he goes out to play hide-and-seek with his sister. Tommy crouches behind some bushes in the front of the house. The father walks down the sidewalk and the kids run to greet him. Tommy finishes his post-dinner washing routine (13:10) then he pulls out his loose tooth. In Tommy’s bedroom, the father tucks in the young boy, concluding the film.

This brief shot from a 16mm home movie shows the famous "Bulldog Cafe" in Los Angeles, which stood at 1153 West Washington Blvd. At the time the movie was shot the building was in use by the Great Western Development Co., a real estate firm. The dog's famous pipe appears to have been removed. 

The dog building was demolished sometime in the 1950s but a recreation was built for the Disney film "The Rocketeer". That replica was later installed in the Peterson Automobile Museum and is now part of a local restaurant called the Idle Hour. 

The building is an example of roadside vernacular architecture which was celebrated in Jim Heimann's book "California Crazy".

The film opens with a few scenes of football, including a punt, a reserve play, and players huddling on the field. The film shows a five-man line for a defensive formation (01:03), then it shows a 6-2-2-1 defense. A defensive end rushes in and tackles the ball carrier. A safety plays too close to the line of scrimmage and misses the tackle (01:51). A punter catches the snap and punts the ball. A linebacker gives the defensive call to his teammates before the offense comes to the line of scrimmage (02:25). Slow motion footage shows a defensive end moving past blockers and making a tackle on a running back. The film uses more slow motion to show the protection for a punter (03:16). A large defensive player breaks through the protection and blocks the punt. The film shows a punt returner catching the punt. A quarterback with a clean pocket throws a pass over the middle (04:04). The offense runs a trick play, pitching it to a running back or a full back, who throws a deep pass to a wide receiver for the touchdown (04:34). The film then shows a kickoff and uses slow motion to clearly show the returner cutting and dodging tacklers. The film shows a number of offensive plays, including a forward reverse play—replaying it in slow motion (05:35), a fumbled handoff, and a ball carrier tossing a backward lateral. The offense runs the “mousetrap” play (07:42), where the ball carrier breaks through the line and picks up yardage. The film concludes with a touchdown-scoring play, the “flying trapeze,” which involves a pitch, two reverses, and a lateral leading up to the deep pass for the score.

This silent 16mm home movie was likely shot by someone who owned a Coca-Cola distributorship in the 1939 or 1940.. The film shows various activities with Coke, as well as some family scenes. Portions of the film may have been shot surreptitiously, following delivery men on their routes. At :40 in the film, a desk with the sign "R. H. Bennett, Jr." is seen. According to the Internet, R.H. Bennett, Jr. lived in Atlanta, Georgia and his son Richard Boykin Bennett went on to run the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of Central Wisconsin. So perhaps this film is from either Wisconsin or Georgia...  Based on some further research we think this might be Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin due to the presence of a Krause's Cafe on Main Street at around 6:10 of this film and a sign at 6:32 that advertises the circus in Chippewa Falls in 1940!

At 1;34, a Coca-Cola bottling plant is seen with long lines of bottles being automatically filled. At 2:39 a Coke deliveryman drinks from the classic long bottle. At 2:48 a color segment shows stands of flowers and at 2:49 a man in a Coke shirt working at a desk (probably R.H. Bennett, Jr.). At 3:47 a used car lot is seen with a Coca-Cola delivery truck nearby. At 4:08, a Coke truck is parked on a town's main street. At 4:50 men are seen loading a truck with Coke palettes. At 5:54 a delivery truck is seen at a gas station. At 6:00, what appears to be an International C-300 delivery truck is shown. At 6:39 a Coca-Cola refrigerated cooler is shown and men take long drinks. At 7:16 a Coca-Cola truck is seen and at 7:23 the Broadway Bar. At 9:55, a color segment features a yellow Coke Permalux delivery truck. At 10:12 a "Drink Coca-Cola" sign. At 10:55 bottles are loaded onto more trucks.

This silent 16mm home movie was likely shot by someone who owned a Coca-Cola distributorship in the 1939 or 1940..most likely R.H. Bennett, Jr. of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

The film starts with images of Gable's Dining Hall, a sort of glorified hamburger stand that served roast beef, salisbury steak, fried fish, etc. as indicated on the sign. Unfortunately most of the film after :54 is out of focus but it shows delivery men posing with their Coke truck.

This silent 16mm home movie shows a trip to the American South in the year 1957. What's interesting about the film is that the filmmaker must have been interested in the Civil Rights movement. He shot footage of the segregation era signage at the Memphis, Tennessee Zoo (:37). It may shock some viewers to understand that in this era, even visits to the zoo were segregated. Blacks could visit the zoo on Thursdays, while whites could go on the other week days including the weekends. He also filmed the Central High School Building in Little Rock, Arkansas (1:36) which looms large in the desegregation of schools. 

The film starts with shots of the Mammoth Cave, located in Kentucky. At :34 is the Memphis Zoo entrance and signage. At :45 a bridge on what appears to be Highway 79 is visible. Shots thru the car windshield of the highway and from the passenger window of shacks and homes. At 1:08 is an institutional building which appears to be Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.. At 1:26 a military jeep drives by, possibly National Guard Troops there to enforce the school's integration. At 1:36 is Central High School again. In the fall of 1957 Little Rock became the symbol of state resistance to school desegregation. Arkansas Governor Orval E. Faubus directly questioned the sanctity of the federal court system and the authority of the United States Supreme Court's desegregation ruling while nine African-American high school students sought an education at the all-white Little Rock Central High School. At 1:42 are shots of the Arkansas State Capitol Building. At 1:56 is the Arkansas Governor's Mansion.

The episode begins with footage of Luther Burbank at home in Santa Rosa with his wife. He rolls around on the grass with his dog. He is then shown walking through wheat and a plot of his famous Burbank artichokes. Burbank walks through other areas in his garden (01:45); he holds a thornless cactus for the camera. He celebrates his 75th birthday with community members (02:25), cutting a large cake and giving slices to children. Burbank congratulates the winner of the Miss California contest. He plants a tree along a California highway (03:31). The segment ends with footage from his funeral. The next segment shows the world’s tallest man, China’s Liu Yu Ching, standing on a golf course in the U.S. The episode’s “Personalities” segment features General Cornelius Vanderbilt (04:40), Stella and Francine Larrimore, and P.G. Wodehouse with wife Ethel. Next, the episode shows the destruction of Santo Domingo, caused by a hurricane in September 1930. Buildings have collapsed and people sift through the rubble looking for survivors. Women of the Red Cross help the injured. The next segment shows the final lap of a German shepherd’s record-setting swim in 1928. Then, the episode takes viewers to Chicago for the dedication ceremony of Soldier’s Field on Armistice Day 1926 (08:00). Politician Scott W. Lucas speaks at the ceremony, which features a march of Gold Star mothers, U.S. soldiers, a game of tug-o-war between the city’s police officers, and a game of motorcycle polo. In the next segment, the U.S. Army’s dirigible E61 leaves a hanger at Scott Field (09:05) and demonstrates a rescue maneuver by dropping off one passenger and picking up another. “Fashions of the Day” looks at footage from 1919 (10:04) on a beach in Georgia, where bathing suit-clad women play baseball...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c55ead67-3b47-4e7b-a775-996679ae86db/90fa305b-5fda-4476-8793-660fa7e73422-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qnzD2hrXzw4Qwmpee3SQtM</video:player_loc><video:duration>749</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T05:51:03.002Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bDfYRbXMMswzw9G5qt9e9d</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f2fb5bc7-f104-48b3-a4ed-027b47d1930e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s AFRICAN AMERICANS  SOUTHERN USA   HOME MOVIE FOOTAGE  SHARECROPPER (SILENT FILM)  19624</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This brief, silent footage culled from 16mm home movies show some views of the pre-segregation era American South. At the start of the film "Cultivating Tobacco"  shows an African American sharecropper plowing a field with a mule. At :49, African American children dance a jig for the camera. At 1:03, an African American woman hangs laundry out to dry.

This footage was shot by anonymous cameramen, presumably whites on vacation in the South in the 1940s.

Made prior to the Apollo-Soyuz flight, this film "Apollo Soyuz" describes the mission and features footage from both Russian and USA sides of the mission. It was narrated by Yul Brynner and Paul Picerni, produced by David Gerber, and written and directed by Byron Morgan. This mission was conducted in July 1975 and was the first joint U.S.–Soviet space flight, and the last flight of an Apollo spacecraft. Its primary purpose was as a symbol of the policy of détente that the two superpowers were pursuing at the time, and marked the end of the Space Race between them that began in 1957.

Some of the interesting footage in this film includes shots of historical Soviet missions from Sputnik (2:21), Laika (3:13), and more. At 3:21, the U.S. Vanguard rocket explodes on the launch pad. At 4:00, NASA is created from NACA. At 4:34 another American rocket (appears to be a Titan) explodes during launch, followed by another failure to launch. At 4:57, the Soviet space lab Sputnik III is shown and rare footage of Lunik I. At 5:32 Soviet ground stations are seen. At 5:46 the 1962 launch of a USA Venus probe is shown.  At 6:06 the launch of the X-15 research aircraft is shown from the B-52 "Balls Eight". At 6:53, the historic Soviet launch of Yuri Gagarin is shown. At 7:30 the Mercury astronauts are introduced. At 7:43 Alan Shepard's historic mission is shown. At 8:00 John F. Kennedy salutes Shepard at the White House. At 8:34 JFK makes his famous speech at Rice about the space race: we mean to lead it. At 9:00 Titov is shown in space. At 9:16 John Glenn's historic mission is shown. At 10:11 photographs from weather satellites are exchanged and analyzed. At 10:33, the last of the Mercury mission astronaut missions are shown. At 10:54, Nikolaev and Vostok III , IV, V and VI are shown.

"NASA Project Apollo Manned Flight to the Moon" presents an overview of the Apollo lunar program. Made by Pelican Films prior to the first Apollo mission (probably 1964 or 65), the film uses animation to sketch out the various components needed for the mission. The film discusses the Saturn V rocket and variants Saturn I and IB, the Lunar Module, Command and Service Module, and more. At 6:37 the Saturn V assembly building is shown in sketches. At 9:35 the LEM is shown making its landing approach and at 10:26 an astronaut makes his first steps on the lunar surface. The film ends with images of the Command Module making a landing on terra firma -- not in the ocean as actually ended up happening.

In this U.S. Air Force Aerospace Defense Command News Digest (No. 91), likely from 1972, viewers see the tests conducted on a Boeing EC-137D Sentry (later named the Boeing E-3 Sentry) as part of the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) program. The film opens footage of an AWACS ceremony in Seattle, where Brigadier General Kendall Russell and Boeing Program Manager Mark Miller speak to an audience about the AWACS tests of the aircraft, known as the Brassboard program. An EC-137D taxis out of a hanger and takes off. The ship flies through the air (01:30). Lt. Col. Robert B. Mitchell speaks to the camera about testing the aircraft. Men monitor radar screens in a control room (02:14). Footage shows the plane taking off from a runway, then the control room of the 25th Air Division’s SAGE Facility at McChord Air Force Base, WA. One of the ADC’s Convair F-106 Delta Darts takes off from a runway during the tests. A member of the 25th Air Division monitors a computer (04:01). Test engineers monitor tracking screens inside one of the EC-137Ds during an in-flight test (04:35). The large aircraft taxis at a runway in Colorado Springs, CO (05:10).

An EC-137D starts to taxi on the snowy runway in Colorado (07:10); then it takes off into the sunny sky, concluding the film.

An airborne early warning and control (AEW&amp;C) system is an airborne radar picket system designed to detect aircraft, ships and vehicles at long ranges and perform command and control of the battlespace in an air engagement by directing fighter and attack aircraft strikes. AEW&amp;C units are also used to carry out surveillance, including over ground targets and frequently perform C2BM (command and control, battle management) functions similar to an Air Traf...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/75863a8c-d49d-4753-95c0-bf8476b64f77/1d56c152-64f4-428a-af3e-c16b5f5fcff4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fvHJrNSs7gysM8dJgfLfAK</video:player_loc><video:duration>507</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T05:59:10.294Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8GcHvzuy31wq2iTiiqjvGN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/679ecb17-c0d7-4dc8-ae92-2e920d5ed0ae.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CHAIRMAN MAO TSE-TUNG LIFE &amp; LEGACY  DOCUMENTARY FILM   COMMUNIST CHINA  47774</video:title><video:description>Mao Tse-tung: Life and Legacy is a short film on the political life of the Chinese leader, primarily focusing on post-World War II developments.

By this time, the Soviets had achieved the world's largest submarine force, and supplemented it with state-of-the-art anti-submarine weapons including the helicopter aircraft carrier Moskva, which is shown in the film.  Also shown are various other vessels, including Russian PT boats, Kashin class guided-missile destroyers, and Soviet nuclear submarines capable of firing nuclear ballistic missiles. A brief history of the Soviet navy is presented under Lenin, Stalin and Kruschev, and its aims assessed.  The film notes that the current Soviet navy must be assessed not only in terms of warships, but for its omnipresence throughout the world in the form of the fishing fleet (used to gather intelligence) and merchant marine.  Shown in the film are Soviet cruise ships, oceanographic research vessels and submarines, nuclear submarines, and ice breakers.    Also shown is footage of Stalin, Lenin, Red Square, the 50th Anniversary of the Russian Revolution parade in Moscow, and more.

This late 1960s documentary recaps the 1966 solar eclipse expedition off the coast of Brazil and Argentina by members of the Atomic Energy Commission and scientists of the University of California’s Los Alamos, Sandia, Lawrence Livermore, and the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratory. The mission also featured a new innovative hydraulic tracking system used on several of the telescopes. The film opens with telescope footage of the Sun, including the solar corona, and photographs of the solar corona during a solar eclipse. Graphics are used to show the elements of the coronal spectrum—scattered illumination of dust and bright emission lines of highly charged atoms of iron (01:23). Graphics are then used to show the molecular development of charged iron atoms at various stages of atomization. Viewers see two people standing in front the sign and building for the Los Alamos, NM Scientific Laboratory of the University of California (03:42). NC-135 aircraft sit on an air strip, which are used for conducting research during solar eclipses. Two scientists in the Los Alamos laboratory work on the “Rube Goldberg” telescope used for measuring corona light (04:59). An illumination graph registers light intensity. The film uses illustrations to show the construction of a telescope used to measure emission lines of the solar corona. Viewers see a graph showing the recording of corona light intensity (07:28). The two men connect wires to the telescope’s photoelectric interferometer (08:05), which records the shape of the corona’s emission lines. A chart shows the graphing of emission lines by the photoelectric interferometer. An illustration shows the layout design of the telescope (09:38). Another scientist works on a coronal camera, as he checks the shutter speed on a monitor (10:15).

The film follows the story of five different men at a Christmas party at an Officers’ Club to show viewers the five different routes to becoming an officer: 
Officer Candidate School (OCS), Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC), Limited Duty Officer (LDO), Navy Enlisted Scientific Education Program (NESEP), and through the Naval Academy. The film opens with a shot of a Christmas tree and men and women dancing at the Officers’ Club. The film follows the story of the first man (01:36), who enlisted in the Navy and then went to OCS to become an officer. He uses an apparatus in guided missile school. He works on an electrical circuit board. He kisses his wife goodbye with a guided missile ship in the background (02:22). Aboard the ship, viewers see a RIM-2 Terrier anti-aircraft missile system; a missile is fired from the ship. During a visit to Europe, he sits in the stands for a bull fight (03:10), visits a castle, and sees the streets of Lisbon. The film then shows him at the U.S. Naval Command School OCS. He wakes up in his bunk (05:15) then stands at attention for personnel inspection. Several men study at their desks before going to bed (06:27). He is promoted to an officer and receives his commission (07:05). The next man talks about becoming an officer through NROTC. He arrives on the bridge of a carrier (08:30), and he observes a radar navigation system. He stands on the bridge (09:55) overlooking the planes on the flight deck.

It appears that the expedition travels up the Congo River and then moves up the Ubangi River during the expedition. The film opens with a shot of a river (likely the Congo, or possibly the Ubangi). Men paddle dugout canoes up the river. A massive colony of flamingos wade along a stretch of the river (00:58). The expedition arrives at a village where women and girls greet the expedition with singing and clapping (01:30). In the village, several women appear to knead dough with mortars and pestles. Men burn grass and leaves under the expedition’s canoes to fire-harden the wood (02:10). The expedition leaves the village and continues upriver to what the narrator refers to as “the land of the Ubangi” (03:07), so presumably up the Ubangi River. At another village along the river, women show off their lip plates or drooping lips that have been stretched out from the practice. The expedition moves inland and comes across a group of Pygmy children hunting birds and monkeys with small bows (04:00). In the Pygmy village, a mother takes care of her children and weaves a basket. Other Pygmies cook caterpillars for a meal. A member of the tribe weaves a net for hunting (05:38). Men leave the village (06:00) and set up nets near where prey was spotted. They chase a small member of the antelope family (possibly a duiker) into the net, then free the young animal. They flush out an adult and spear the animal. Back at the village, the Pygmies dance around a fire (07:30); men play drums while others dance and sing. The film ends with a shot of the expedition back in their canoes paddling on the still waters of the river (08:10).

The Ubangi River (/(j)uːˈbæŋɡi/), also spelled Oubangui, is the largest right-bank tributary of the Congo River in the region of Central Africa. It begins at the confluence of the Mbomou and Uele Rivers and flows west, for...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ddd2f194-6723-439d-81b8-43c96f490401/1be4349b-97b5-472d-981c-3554b2ba6f65-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/toHVC8kmTBdeRdtbPGEhFt</video:player_loc><video:duration>535</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T06:33:53.529Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qu16V3fbMaHEUXQNjKDh3V</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ee03a566-9fa6-47d4-ac6a-52e4d0b8eb1d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF WATERCOLOR "  1960s ELECTROGRAPHIC CORP.

Made in conjunction with Bell Telephone Labs by the Physical Science Study Committee, this film "Matter Waves" features Alan Holden and Lester Germer. The film was made in 1961 and was directed by John R. Friedman, who later joined the staff of Bell Labs and produced many films under its auspices. This particular film was produced by Educational Services Incorporated and intended for classroom use. It gives both historical and scientific insight to the wave nature of elementary, atomic-level particles. hows the wave behavior of the electron. The film starts with an examination of the Louis de Broglie hypothesis. Alan Holden shows electron diffraction patterns on a fluorescent screen, making the patterns understandable in terms of wave behavior by presenting an optical analogue showing almost identical patterns. Mr. Holden describes the electron diffraction experiments of Sir George Thomson and presents brief evidence for the wave behavior of other particles, such as neutrons and helium atoms. 

Lester Halbert Germer (October 10, 1896 – October 3, 1971) was an American physicist. With Clinton Davisson, he proved the wave-particle duality of matter in the Davisson–Germer experiment, which was important to the development of the electron microscope. These studies supported the theoretical work of De Broglie. He also studied thermionics, erosion of metals, and contact physics. He was awarded the Elliott Cresson Medal in 1931.  Alan Holden was a physicist and chemist born in 1904 who worked at Bell Labs, and who was an expert in crystal growth and three dimensional structures with interlocking polygons known as "polylinks."

This rare silent film shows the tragic story of "The Last Raft". The 
story was recently re-told in an excellent documentary film (see link above) by Karen L. Frock of Creekside Creative Media.

The Last Raft story begins in 1938 with Pennsylvania brothers R. Dudley and V. Ord Tonkin whose family came to the town of Cherry Tree in 1838. Vince Tonkin, Dudley and Ord’s father, had left timber standing with the request that the two brothers occasionally build a raft to float as a living history lesson. Rafting reunions were held every so often, but by 1938, the rafters were getting older, and they decided on one final event.

The 1938 trip was a reenactment of log rafting. In the Northeast United States particularly North Eastern, Central Pennsylvania where the logging boom was strongest. Multiple local men decided to hold a memorial rafting trip from Clearfield County to Harrisburg. The men who had done the trip twice before in years past to honor the logging industry in the area agreed on a 1935 trip being their last, however some of the group decided to do it one last time in 1938. Thus why it is also known as The Last Raft Tragedy. The Raft was launched on March 14 at McGee's Mill in western Clearfield County. The 200 mile trip was expected to take a week and a half to complete. In the beginning there were six experienced rafters on board. They tied off multiple times for food, rest and to meet the crowd which began forming along the river-side. The 112 x 25 foot Raft picked up dozens at Lock Haven and Williamsport.

The Raft crashed about six days into its trip on March 20. It entered Muncy with 45 people on board. The Raft which was over 100 feet long was very hard ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0a4de06c-cbaf-4f19-a89d-310dcd8b35db/a466713a-2037-433e-95c2-1cbb82be9124-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2gNnVxQ9HE3sAGrVZuhWJx</video:player_loc><video:duration>2445</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T07:01:19.509Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fQH1bd4j5TfYoBxuxzhaAR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3b23c325-bb14-4791-94a8-ed2938253112.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"UNWATERING FLOODED COMPARTMENTS"  1950 U.S. NAVY DAMAGE CONTROL FILM 12984</video:title><video:description>Unwatering Flooded Compartments (MN-6774) is a short 1950 educational film on damage control from the U.S. Navy. The film briefly reviews the different types of permanently installed drainage systems on a ship and then gives a good overview of the various auxiliary portable equipment that can be used for unwatering a flooded compartment. The film opens with a shot of a Navy carrier at sea, unlevel as it is taking on water. Graphics are used to show how flooded compartments can progress, exacerbating the situation. The film then shows several types of permanently installed drainage systems (01:43), including a steam-driven pump, a motor-driven centrifugal pump, and eductor pumps (01:59). A man turns the wheel on an eductor. A sailor operates the controls of the ship’s drainage system. A hole below the water line leaks water into a ship (03:32). The film then shows the various portable equipment all grouped together (03:50), including a P-500 pump, a Handy billy pump, a portable electrical submersible pump, an eductor pump, and a bucket. Two men show the electric portable submersible pump (04:25), and then graphics are used to explain the construction of the pump and how it functions. A man connects the hose line to the pump then places it into a screened basket. Next, the film shows a fluted perforated metal strainer that can also be used for the pump. The men lower the pump and its strainer basket into the flooded compartment and then turn it on. Water is pumped out through the hose and sprayed overboard (06:41). The men pull the pump out from the flooded compartment (07:30). Next, the two men fit a hose on a gasoline-powered Handy billy pump (08:16). They prime the engine then start the pump. A P-500 (09:23) is shown next, which is similar to the Handy billy but can handle a larger capacity of water. A man hooks up the discharge hoses to the pump. The other sailor primes the pump before starting it (10:11). There is a shot of the machine’s discharge pressure reg...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/782ce945-8f39-49d0-b593-73cfc7e80199/4d89c2b6-3660-43a7-a44a-850587ff5581-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fQH1bd4j5TfYoBxuxzhaAR</video:player_loc><video:duration>1121</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T07:04:17.526Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dHnrxeaUKNkGQ5sSt22wa5</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b73d75f6-0b07-495e-aa19-a5545612e2f5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1928 TRAVELOGUE &amp; REAL ESTATE PROMO FILM " PROGRESS IN LOS ANGELES " (SILENT FILM) HOLLYWOOD 17314</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

This 1930s travel film about Rio de Janeiro begins with shots of "flying down to Rio" aboard a Pan Am Sikorsky S-42 flying boat. It lands in the harbor of the "gayest city in the Western Hemisphere" at 1:00. At 1:16 public gardens are shown as well as the Sugarloaf in the background. At 1:30 sailing in Rio harbor is shown. At 1:50 is a view of the Sugarloaf and at 1:58 the cable car to the top. At 2:13 is a view from the heights looking down on the city's famed beaches. At 3:07 is the famed statue of Christ. At 3:30 are shots of the Amazon jungle with snakes (3:41). At 3:57 near Sao Paulo is a snake farm. At 4:35 poison is harvested from the snakes to make anti-venom. 

The Sikorsky S-42 was a commercial flying boat designed and built by Sikorsky Aircraft to meet requirements for a long-range flying boat laid out by Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) in 1931. The innovative design included wing flaps, variable-pitch propellers, and a tail-carrying full-length hull. The prototype first flew on 29 March 1934, and, in the period of development and test flying that followed, quickly established ten world records for payload-to-height. The "Flying Clipper" and the "Pan Am Clipper" were other names for the S-42.

It was likely a film that Meeus would show to an audience with an accompanying dialogue -- so while it is silent here, it would have had narration when shown. The subject matter is simple enough: a look at some of the beautiful things in China including scenery, the arts, and culture.

At :43 a Chinese boy Chip-Gao is introduced with a rabbit. At 1:55 a small boat rises in a calm sea. At 4:30 flowers are seen. At 5:11 a beautiful Chinese vase, followed by others. At 6:08 a beautiful bracelet and other jewelry are shown.  At 7:00 statues, including Buddhas. At 8:30 a Chinese opera performer is shown in costume, and then other performers. 

Although not well known today, Meuss was well known in China and the USA during the 1940s, and remained active with U.S. forces during the Korean War. His “China Letter”  appeared in Reader's Digest in May 1944, and a diary he wrote about his experience in China was published after the war. It was Meeus who wrote about the fate of some of the Doolittle Raiders.

Produced by the United States Office of Education, this vintage film shows the operation of the slide rule with focus on the 'C' and 'D' Scales. 

The slide rule, also known colloquially in the United States as a slipstick, is a mechanical analog computer. As graphical analog calculators, slide rules are closely related to nomograms, but the former are used for general calculations, whereas the latter are used for application-specific computations.

The slide rule is used primarily for multiplication and division, and also for functions such as exponents, roots, logarithms, and trigonometry, but typically not for addition or subtraction. Though similar in name and appearance to a standard ruler, the slide rule is not meant to be used for measuring length or drawing straight lines.

Slide rules exist in a diverse range of styles and generally appear in a linear or circular form with a standardized set of markings (scales) essential to performing mathematical computations. Slide rules manufactured for specialized fields such as aviation or finance typically feature additional scales that aid in calculations particular to those fields.

At its simplest, each number to be multiplied is represented by a length on a sliding ruler. As the rulers each have a logarithmic scale, it is possible to align them to read the sum of the logarithms, and hence calculate the product of the two numbers.

The Reverend William Oughtred and others developed the slide rule in the 17th century based on the emerging work on logarithms by John Napier. Before the advent of the electronic calculator, it was the most commonly used calculation tool in science and engineering.[8] The use of slide rules continued to grow through the 1950s and 1960s even as computers were being gradually introduced; but around 1974 the handheld electronic ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1b528904-92dd-4f24-badd-b5242e1b266c/252584d7-c9e3-4953-9df4-d2cba18b358b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4nFKNQHaQccZjVzjEJAMg3</video:player_loc><video:duration>1392</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T07:13:50.658Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/peee9UMYNrfT2T2SQ6T8wC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5564c834-34ed-4480-9730-98b6cdbec7b1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>JOHN FORD'S DECEMBER 7th  1943 PEARL HARBOR ATTACK PROPAGANDA FILM   77014</video:title><video:description>December 7th: The Movie is a 1943 propaganda film produced by the U.S. Navy about the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor, showing life before, during, and after the 7 December 1941 attack. This 32-minute version is the censored version of the film, pared down from the original 82 minutes, as the original “asked some embarrassing questions . . . . [and] the film had a lot of time devoted to the culture of the 160,000 Japanese-Americans in Hawaii and their response to the attack.” This censored version opens with a shot of a destroyed bomber on an air field—the bomber is missing its back half. The film shows the memo from Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of War, requesting the creation of a motion picture film about Pearl Harbor before, during, and after the Japanese attack. Shots of Oahu portray the island on Sunday morning, December 7, as the film shows lush mountainsides, sandy beaches, and a good view of a sleeping Honolulu (01:40). Trucks drive into Hickam Field (02:08), and planes sit out in the open. Across from the field is Pearl Harbor (02:24). A cruiser sails in the harbor. Men fish off docks. Sailors attend an outdoor mass celebrating the first Sunday of Advent (03:00). A private in a radar station picks up planes on the radar and reports it to his commander (04:12). Men work in a hanger, and one man appears to be doing maintenance on a bomber (05:00). Japanese squadrons approach Pearl Harbor from multiple directions (05:32), and the planes fly over Oahu beach (06:49). They drop bombs, hitting their targets. Planes on an airfield are hit and shown on fire or in ruin (07:33). U.S. servicemen leave the beach mass and go to man their battle stations. Men climb into planes while others run into a burning hanger to salvage the aircraft inside. Bombs hit the USS Arizona and footage shows inside the ship as a bomb explodes and kills a sailor. Aboard the USS California (10:37), men man anti-aircraft guns and fire on the Japanese planes. U.S. naval ships are shown burnin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bc1b026d-b740-4bef-96a7-d6f9f5e40434/ce8621e8-4181-4835-9ddb-c52820120ee8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/peee9UMYNrfT2T2SQ6T8wC</video:player_loc><video:duration>1949</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T07:15:52.920Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wnkoRYGU9kTFUqtVoUL7R2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7e0a6c7f-4b6a-4230-8587-ef4db110cc01.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1945 WWII   USS BLACKFORD (APB-45) HOME MOVIES  HONOLULU, HAWAII  51784</video:title><video:description>Dating to 1945, this home movie shows life aboard the USS Blackford (APB-45), a Benewah-class self-propelled barracks ship that was in service with the United States Navy during the waning days of World War II. It was apparently shot by photographer's mate R.E. Markell between August of 1945 and April of 1946.  The film begins somewhere off the Sea of Japan with shots of sailors scrubbing the ships' deck (:41), eating sandwiches (:55) and sunbathing. At 1:00 two Japanese floating mines are spotted off the coast of Japan and destroyed by gunfire while the crew observes. At 2:25 sailors play catch on the deck of the ship. At 3:52 haircuts are given on deck. At 4:44 an observant crew member points out an island, possibly Eniwetok, where the ship was stationed for a few months as a floating barracks. Crew members relax and swim, diving off the ship. At 10:25 more swabbing of the deck. At 12:21 crew sleep on deck and are woken up by a crewmate to do more swabbing. 

At 14:00 the ship arrives in Hawaii Pearl Harbor and the crew departs for shore in landing ships. At 15:41 are views of Honolulu in the immediate post-WWII period.

This presentation includes several films. The first from 1957 is a PSA that shows the Smokey the Bear campaign and features singer Vaughn Monroe, known as the Voice of RCA.  The second starting at 1:35 is a U.S. Dept. of Agriculture film entitled "Snuffy Smokey Bear's Pal." This public service announcement introduces Snuffy, an energetic golden retriever who strives to prevent forest fires. Snuffy is a good friend of Smokey the Bear, the iconic advertising character created in 1944 by the US Forest Service and artist Albert Staehle. Both Smokey and Snuffy’s mission is to convince each citizen of their ability to stop wildfires from occurring. In the film, Snuffy follows and watches over a family. Although the family prepares a proper fire and follows the correct precautions, the father’s mindless act of flicking a lit cigarette forces Snuffy to save the day. 

At 7:18 is another animated PSA featuring Smokey the Bear. At 8:32 is "Then it Happened", a U.S. Dept. of Agriculture film about a Maine forest fire that is fueled by a mighty wind (11:52) with disastrous results. At 13:11 a radio announcer discusses the destruction caused by the fire. At 14:10 fire fighters fight the flames but many homes are consumed. The aftermath is shown with stark shots of ruins and dead trees.

This extraordinary silent film footage shows one of the world's first open heart valve replacement surgeries, performed by American physician Charles A. Hufnagel, M.D.  Hufnagel invented the first artificial heart valve in the early 1950s --  the first artificial heart valve, also known as the caged ball (see 4:59 of the film). The valve represented the first long-term success in prosthetic heart valves that would in turn, come to shape modern medical practice around the use and development of artificial organs. The valve utilized a glass or metal cage to store a silicone elastomer ball, typically hollow. When the blood pressure inside of the chamber in the heart would exceed that of the pressure on the outside of the chamber the ball would be pushed up against the cage and would then allow the blood flow accordingly. Once the hearts contraction was completed, the pressure inside of the hearts chamber drops and is lower than the valve the ball will move back to the base of the valve to form the seal.  

Dr. Hufnagel was born in Louisville, Kentucky and was reared in Richmond, Indiana. His father was also a surgeon. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame and earned his medical degree from Harvard Medical School. At Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, he began work on the heart and other organ transplants and explored the use of plastic to replace blood vessels, developing a technique called multi-point fixation, which would have great importance in the placement of the artificial aortic valve.

In September 1952 Dr. Hufnagel, then director of the Georgetown University Medical Center's surgical research laboratory, implanted an aortic "assist" valve into the circulatory system of a 30-year-old woman. The valve consisted of a pea-size ball of plastic inside a chambered tube—an inch and a half long and an inch thick—that regulated blood flow through the heart. The manufactured valve compensated for th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/95e0f8e1-fac7-4815-bc86-1aa12152636d/0b2e29a0-a637-4e58-841a-8a0a5ceda03b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jvrP5mHwsZbPWNjbZE13vk</video:player_loc><video:duration>812</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T07:39:01.872Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5DjSXSW1edy7y1MKUikjD1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a89c36cf-1f96-4cf6-b211-8b4133909073.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. MILITARY WWII      WAR DOGS       SILENT FOOTAGE  (HaDone)  95001</video:title><video:description>This silent film shows dogs that served with the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. in the Pacific Theater during WWII.

This 1951 Jam Handy Film features the invisible man "Mr. X" as he learns about the new 1951 Chevrolet car models. The opening titles are printed in beautiful cursive over a car silhouette.  The camera tracks in on a new car seen through a window.  Two Chevrolet personnel are shown in a dealership office, shadows fall in a venetian blind pattern (0:34).  They discuss the many types of people they’ve sold cars to, each with a ‘special reason’ for buying Chevrolet.  “I wonder what kind of person would combine all the reasons”…  Cue footsteps and dramatic organ music as the impressions of invisible feet appear in the office carpet (1:14).  A reverb-touched voice asks, “would one of you gentlemen like to talk to me about a new car?”  The lead salesman played by Jeffrey Lynn looks straight into the camera in reaction.  “My name is X,” states the voice.  Lynn walks into the salesroom containing a new Chevrolet (1:52).  Mr. X announces that he’s already in the back seat, which is shown springing a little under his invisible weight (2:02).  Lynn shows off the safety door lock and backs off from the car, gesturing grandly and discussing its timeless style.  The box-girder frame is shown superimposed over the car (2:57).  Mr. X indicates that he can see through the car body to its “uni-steel construction,” the welded interior parts are briefly shown in glowing animation (3:15).  Close up on the car’s front end as salesman Lynn kneels down to describe the “road-hugging quality that helps give that big car ride.”  Lynn opens the hood and discusses the “famous Chevrolet valve-and-head engine” (3:49).

The first piece of news is Maj. Howard Johnson setting a new record for altitude. Johnson climbs aboard a Lockheed F-104 Starfighter (YF-104A 55-2957) and takes off, flying above the Mojave Desert. He sets a new altitude record of 91240 ft. Next, the newsreel shows flooding in the spring of 1958 in Louisiana from the Red River (02:06). Men from nearby Barksdale Air Force Base fill sand bags and haul them down river to reinforce dykes. A man sits at a radio control room and dispatches a helicopter. Men use sandbags to reinforce a levy. Viewers then see the Sacramento Peak Observatory in New Mexico (03:30), which studies activity on the sun; footage shows an explosion on the surface of the sun (04:17). The newsreel then goes to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas for a look at cadets going through a confidence course. Cadets engage in PT (04:37), climb up a large tower, and bail off a high platform to simulate parachuting to earth. They then run through a course lined with flames (06:09). The trainees go through a combat obstacle course (06:35), swinging over water and climbing up a rocky cliff. In Spain, viewers see the Air Force Base in Villatobas (07:18). Inside a building, men monitor radar. A Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw helicopter team takes off for a weekly observation of an oil pipeline (07:47); they fly over the ruins of a Roman bridge and an old bull ring. They also fly over Cordoba and past the city’s old castle (09:04). In Ohio, General E.S. Ligon speaks to the camera from his office about the new method of enlisting prior servicemen.

The film opens with astronauts in a space station or shuttle moving around in zero gravity. A Boeing C-135 Stratolifter transport dives in the sky, creating a zero-gravity simulation for the astronauts inside the empty cargo bay. Astronaut Ed White becomes the first American to walk in space on 3 June 1965 (00:50); he is later followed by astronaut David Scott, who crawls outside his spacecraft holding on to metal rings to maneuver around. The film then shows the facility where NASA and Martin Marietta engineers test astronaut moving units in development. This leads to Bruce McCandless leaving the Challenger’s payload bay with an MMU in February 1984 (01:35). More footage shows the maiden voyage of the MMU (02:17), as McCandless and Robert L. Stewart pilot the MMUs during the mission. One of the men uses the nitrogen jet-thrusters to move. At the Martin Marietta facility, an astronaut masters the MMU simulator in less than a day (03:01). A close-up shows the controls on the MMU’s armrest. An astronaut uses an MMU to leave a payload bay (04:00). The crew inside the Challenger and McCandless outside in space in an MMU speak with U.S. President Ronald Reagan (04:40) during the mission. The film shows a shuttle moving in space (05:16), followed by a 3-D design of a futuristic shuttle. This is followed by more footage of the two astronauts piloting the MMUs around the shuttle (05:55) and, in one case, toward a nearby satellite. The film shows a brief montage of footage and photographs of various NASA missions from the past 25 years before concluding with a shot of an astronaut maneuvering around a shuttle in an MMU (07:48). 

The Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) is an astronaut propulsion unit that was used by NASA on three Space Shuttle missions in 1984.

A test ejection from a simulated F-111 sled cockpit on a ground track is conducted (01:30), with crewmen being ejected individually at 300 knots. The men parachute to the ground, lacking clear stability. The crew module is ejected at this point, demonstrating a more stable ejection than the previous test. An officer speaks to the camera about the automated ejection system of the F-111 crew escape module (02:30). A crew prepares a 3,000-pound static module for a test run (03:00). The module is ejected, and the recovery chute is quickly deployed. A sled ejection system flies down the track and the crew module is ejected (03:44), peaking at about 1,200 feet. The module safely parachutes to the ground. The officer stands in front of a crew module in a hanger (04:34), and he shows off aspects of the module, including the rocket nozzles for boosting the ejection (05:22), the stabilization glove of the module (05:50), and the pitch flaps and stabilization flaps (06:15). He then shows where the recovery chute is stored and deployed from (06:58). Animation is used to show the full eject system of the F-111 (07:40): how the rocket motor is initiated, tightening of the crew’s harnesses, the severance of recovery gear, the deployment of the stabilization break chute, the stabilization of the module, the deployment of the recovery chute (14:25), and the inflation of impact attenuation bags. The crew module safely lands on the ground.

The film opens with an animation of Sir Isaac Newton reading under a tree. The film then reviews the basic concepts of motion using a man hitting a golf ball as an example. It returns to the use of animation to explain the basic principles of rocket propulsion, showing the functions of a rocket motor and fuel. The film shows a static rocket motor being tested (02:21). Army soldiers fit an MGR-1 Honest John rocket with an explosive and then launch the missile (02:57). The film shows some of the internal devices used to create a guided system, such as a gyroscope (03:27). An MGM-31 Pershing ballistic missile is prepared for launch (03:50). The missile is fired and flies through the air via its internal guiding system. A Nike Hercules surface-to-air guided missile is readied for launch (04:40); an external ground radar sends signals and steers the missile to its target. A Raytheon MIM-23 Hawk air defense system fires a missile at a flying aircraft target (05:39). A soldier shoots a shoulder-fired General Dynamics FIM-43 Redeye missile, which then hits the targeted helicopter. An Army unit operates a new BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missile (06:28); the gunner directs the missile to the target. The film shows a montage of very short film clips of soldiers moving missiles, working on them, or preparing them for firing. An MGM-29 Sergeant surface-to-surface missile is launched (07:25). A soldier fires an M72 LAW rocket grenade. An MGM-51 Shillelagh guided missile is fired and hits a tank (08:22). A Nike Zeus anti-ballistic missile is launched (08:38), and that is followed by footage of the launching of a Sprint missile. Missiles are loaded onto an Army transport plane (10:01).

MUGU, CALIFORNIA  80254</video:title><video:description>F4J BIS Guided Missile Trials is a short technical film report from the Naval Air Systems Command in Point Mugu, CA on the March 1967 BIS trials of the AWG-10 Missile Control System and related components on a McDonnell Douglas F4J Phantom II. The BIS (Board of Inspection and Survey) trials were divided into five categories: ground tests, captive flights, launch flights, serviceability, and human factors tests. The film opens with an F4J being towed on a runway; the aircraft carries four AIM-7D or 7E Sparrow III missiles on Arrow 7-A launchers; in some of the tests, the aircraft also carries Sidewinder missiles. Pilots climb into the cockpit of the ship. An F4J takes off from a runway. Technicians pull out the AWG-10 Missile Control System from the nose of the aircraft (02:05). A radar dish extends from the AWG-10 and scans back and forth. Graphics are used to show how the AWG-10 system works. An F4J flies over Point Mugu armed with missiles (04:47). The film shows the instrumentation pod used to record data from the guided missile system test trials (05:20). An F4J is backed over a drop area to test missile launch ability (06:30); missiles are released and fall into the opening. Men measure the hazard area of the AWG-10 system. Three men test serviceability by loading missiles onto the aircraft (08:10). A BIS official times the loading of the missiles. An F4J goes into an environmental laboratory building (09:20) where the aircraft is tested against hot and cold temperatures and heavy water exposure. Men examine where water leaked into the system and the plane (10:00), then reseal and test again. The missile service crew loads missiles under simulated day and night conditions. They load an AIM-9B Sidewinder, an AIM-7 Sparrow III, and load another Sparrow III using an Arrow 52-A hoist cart. Several men give the plane and missile system a complete electrical checkout back in the hanger (11:36). Prior to the captive test flight, missiles are loaded onto the F4J (13...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/321a1d32-6635-4e19-92be-d56d0402c893/cf607de4-6df8-48fb-917d-cdcc03c69c49-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7bQqMtn2dYdrfWDaRhH8ne</video:player_loc><video:duration>1486</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T07:55:47.115Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/myBW4Sv2a82WynWbvVfnYP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ece13e1b-8211-4e0b-b156-0d5a6cf78ad0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s LONDON ENGLAND TOUR     UNITED KINGDOM  CROWN JEWELS  12784</video:title><video:description>This silent film, released by Castle in the late 1930s, shows views of pre-WWII London.

"China Under Communism" is a 1962 educational film from Encyclopaedia Britannica Films that gives viewers a look at life in communist China, with an emphasis on the nation's difficult struggles in the area of economic development. American academic John Strohm, the first Western journalist allowed into China after World War II,  hosts the film. He shows a map of China and redraws his route there. The film then starts showing footage of China, starting with a view of a temple at the end of a busy street (01:30), people riding through the countryside, and people working in rice paddies. The Great Wall of China climbs over hills (01:57). Viewers see the tops of the temples and palaces of the Forbidden City (02:12) and the shrine that is the tomb of Sun Yat-sen (02:34). An ox pulls a wooden hand plow as a farmer works the land (02:48). Chinese men spread manure on a field. Children help harvest grain (03:25), and an ox-powered mill grinds wheat into flour. Young members of the Chinese Army mill around a city’s square (04:28). Two members of a rural commune’s militia pose with their rifles (04:53). People work on a communal farm. Large stacks of corn show the crop’s yield after harvest. A woman picks cotton in a field. A man tends to a rice paddy (06:51). A mechanical irrigation system moves water to the farming collectives (07:27). People eat in a commune’s canteen, and children sit and play in the commune’s central nursery (08:06). People participate in a parade (08:50). Despite the lack of mechanized farming equipment, some does exist, like a self-propelled grain combine that sits on display at what appears to be an expo of sorts (09:50). Children climb on a locomotive (10:22). The film shows some of China’s steel production facilities (10:37), including a plant in central China.

While the captions are comical, there is good footage of what appears to be actual test launches of the missile—although the footage of failed launch attempts only enhances the humorous spin of the film. The film opens with footage of an explosion and the charred remains of the missile and its launch pad. The film shows a view from atop a hill of a simple compound dubbed “the Laboratory” (01:24). “Test Run No. 14” (02:13) features men walking into a control room, where the countdown to a test launch only leads to the production of steam. A rocket prototype with three liquid rockets used for landing is tested on a sled track (03:55). A missile is launched and zig-zags through the air for a short distance before crashing into the earth (04:42). A modified Corporal is launched and flies straight at first (05:12), but then it loses its stable trajectory and crashes. A man stands over the crashed missile as if standing over a killed trophy animal. A rocket propulsion system is tested but the launch tower quickly goes up in flames (06:10). The film says that with the introduction of more engineers comes more secretaries; it shows women walking down some steps and heading to apparent administration buildings (07:54). Footage from the point of view of a car takes viewers driving through some facility or base (08:30). A missile is lowered onto a launch pad (09:10), then it stands unassisted by a launch tower, but nothing appears to happen during the attempted launch. Finally, the missile’s rockets fire up, but the missile does not leave the launch pad (11:26). When the missile finally does take off, it almost immediately crashes and bursts into flames (12:59). An observer is comically charred during the sequence, ending the film.

The film opens with a shot of a desert in the southwestern U.S. and a railroad line running through it. An engineer sounds the train’s horn as the train moves through the desert on its way to California. A truck pulls up to a sign on a desert road, presumably in the Mojave Desert (01:04); the driver gets out and pours water from a canvas water bag into the truck’s radiator. At Baker, an oasis in California, a man waters his small arid yard and a young boy drinks from a hose. A truck drives through the town (01:50). The film shows some desert landscape, including dry riverbeds and sand dunes. Heavy pieces of wood form a make-shift road that cannot be easily erased by blowing sands (03:10). A small settlement of wooden buildings sits abandoned. Poisonous salts line the desert floor in Death Valley (03:45); snow-capped Mt. Whitney (04:14) looms above the desert off in the distance. Melted snow creates brooks, streams, and rushing rivers (05:06); a man fly fishes on the Colorado River. The film then takes viewers to Hoover Dam (05:28). Visitors look over the side of the dam at the Colorado River coming out below. Generators in the dam produce electricity (06:15). Power lines run across California (07:03), bringing electricity from Hoover Dam to places like Los Angeles. The film shows a shot of the Los Angeles valley, downtown L.A., and the city’s suburbs.

The film opens with a pilot flying an F-111 near some hills at a low elevation. The plane clears a hill, maintaining a relatively constant altitude over the earth. This is done using Terrain-Following Radar (TFR). The film shows the instrument panel of the TFR system (02:28). A shot from the cockpit shows an automated guiding image that helps the pilot with flight navigation. Graphics show how the Terrain-Following mode works, sending out a beam to identify upcoming obstacles. The command reference line appears on the system’s monitor, the E-scope. Footage shows the F-111 diving and climbing depending on the setting and the data collected by the TFR. The film uses animation to show how a profile picture and the command reference line are created and shown on the E-scope. The system’s instrument panel shows what TFR settings the pilot has chosen (14:40). The plane’s Attitude Direction Indicator (ADI) reflects the system’s commands. Animation is used to demonstrate a TF descent, also called a “blind letdown” (17:58). On the ground, aircraft crew check the F-111’s TFR equipment (21:35); the F-111 taxis onto the runway for takeoff and runs through TFR safety checks. It then takes off. A shot from the cockpit shows the point of view of the pilot as the plane flies in the sky; the pilot enters the settings for an auto TF. The F-111 flies next to mountains and utilizes the aircraft’s TFR, with the pilot reporting the results over his radio. 

Terrain-following radar (TFR) is an aerospace technology that allows a very-low-flying aircraft to automatically maintain a relatively constant altitude above ground level. It is sometimes referred-to as ground hugging or terrain hugging flight. The term nap-of-the-earth flight may also apply but is more commonly used in relation to low-flying military helicopters, which typically do not use terrain-following rad...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e744a1a4-656f-4f5c-b5b7-2f58f5fbce90/66cade55-21b8-4607-a503-f2b88f446b31-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uyn1BWTexiHLpc2QywTawG</video:player_loc><video:duration>1538</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T08:22:13.085Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9JuiaVwPCmKqi9Qpw7Hf8a</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/aabe24af-aac3-4e64-87c4-c3cd1ec972bb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA APOLLO PROGRAM  ASTRONAUT FOOD PROCESSING &amp; MENU DEVELOPMENT FILM  SPACE FOOD 98564</video:title><video:description>Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films?

Made by Jam Handy, presented by Whirlpool and featuring Peter Hackes, a science reporter, this Apollo era film "How Many Meals to the Moon?" shows how food was developed for NASA astronauts. The film was directed by Lou Kramer. The film begins with footage of Boy Scouts working with Estes type model rockets (1:30). The film then delves into the problems of food preparation, packaging, storage, serving and disposal and the role played by the Life Support Department of Whirlpool in this area. At 3:00 a woman works in a modern kitchen with beautiful space age refrigerators and ranges built by Whirlpool. At 3:48 the Gemini Program is shown with astronauts performing EVAs. At 4:30 the head of Life Support, Dr. Norman Roth, is introduced and there's a discussion of the space food challenge. At 5:44 the environment of space is described and at 6:30 the challenges of the Apollo program described -- no cooking in space, and food must survive decompression and storage for two weeks' time. At 7:30 fruits and vegetables are shown as well as other staples. At 8:40 the experimental kitchen at Whirlpool is shown. At 9:15 a menu is shown for an astronaut, then a table of "normal" food, and at 9:50 the same food is shown in plastic packages. At 10:15 testing of preparation equipment for bacteria is shown. At 10:29 freeze drying is shown. At 10:42 cube foods are shown including toasted bread and cereal cubes. At 10:54 a dehydrated fruit salad is shown. At 12:20 "go or no go" on a cube before freeze drying. At 13:30 quality control is ensured by a woman scientist at a work station. At 14:26 meal units are assembled.

This instructional  explains how to use the maneuvering board, a tool designed by the U.S. Navy to solve navigation problems involving relative motion between ships. It demonstrates how to construct and interpret two key diagrams: the relative plot, which shows changes in bearing and distance over time, and the vector triangle, which mathematically relates the directions and speeds of ships. Viewers learn how to use the board’s built-in azimuth circle, scales, and nomograph to determine critical navigation data such as relative speed, closest point of approach (CPA), and true course and speed of other vessels. Through practical examples, the  shows how to track moving contacts, calculate the direction of relative motion, and determine own ship’s required course to reach a given station. The maneuvering board is emphasized as an essential and time-saving tool for naval operations, offering precision and efficiency in complex maneuvering and tracking situations.

0:00 – Introduction to solving problems in relative motion during ship maneuvers. Solutions use two diagrams: a relative plot and a vector triangle.

1:31 – Overview of the maneuvering board, a Navy tool designed to simplify plotting direction, speed, and position.

2:00 – Explanation of the azimuth circle and scales on the board used for plotting bearings and selecting an appropriate distance scale.

3:15 – Use of the time, distance, and speed nomograph to quickly convert two known values into the third.

4:55 – Introduction to plotting two diagrams: vector triangles (for direction/speed) and relative plots (for bearing/range).

5:50 – Example of a relative plot where a ship's relative movement is plotted from one bearing to another to determine direction and distance.

Produced in 1941, Aerial Navigation: Radio Aids gives an overview of how to use radio frequencies to determine an aircraft’s position. The film opens with a B-17 Flying Fortress flying through the clouds, then the film shows several radio towers. Footage shows the cockpit and instrument panel of an aircraft, presumably of the B-17. The film shows the Air Navigation Radio Aids handbook published by the Civil Aeronautics Administration (01:45). There is an aerial view of a radio range station. Graphics are used to show how radio fields are set up at a range station using radiators. A map shows radio range coverage in the U.S. (05:27). The film shows a radio tower and discusses the “cone of silence,” which is located directly above a radio tower (06:50). A pilot sits in the cockpit and adjusts knobs on his radio panel (07:29). Z-type markers are used at a radio range station (08:58). A marker beacon in the plane flashes when a plane flies over the Z-type marker (09:41). A fan marker can also be used as a position marker at a radio range system (10:05). The pilot watches the plane’s marker beacon signaling when it is in range of the fan marker. A pilot dials in his range receiver (12:29). The pilot looks at his radio facilities chart. A graphic is used to show how a pilot adjusts his course based on the signals he receives from a radio beam. The film uses basic animation over an aerial photograph to show how a plane can make minor adjustments while the pilot is trying to determine the correct course (18:00). A pilot adjusts the volume of his radio in the cockpit (18:40). A man in a range station transmits regular weather reports (22:31). The film shows the fifth radio tower of a range station that is for voice transmissions, primarily weather reports. The film then shows the radio compass on the instrument panel (23:29) and its antennae on the exterior of the plane.

The film opens with a shot of Normandy’s coast (00:31) and the coastal town of Fecamp. People walk down the streets of Fecamp and enjoy such highlights as the old Benedictine monastery (01:03) and the scenic sea-side promenade (01:34). Nearby is the small village of Yport (02:18). People crowd the beach for the Blessing of the Sea ceremony; ships sit decorated while a priest gives a blessing. The film then shows some of the small farms of Normandy. A dog herds sheep. A man walks along two horses pulling a plow. The film takes viewers to Rouen (04:00), located on the Seine. Freight ships move along the river and through the city. A crane hauls a covered bridge-looking car to move passengers across the river (04:51). Viewers see some of Rouen’s old buildings and neighborhoods, including the old giant clock and the gothic cathedral Notre-Dame de Rouen (05:36). The cathedral and its towers are shown from a distance. Other highlights include a statue of Napoleon (06:28), City Hall, the Palace of Justice, and the famed Chateau de Roven. At the old market place (07:15), a statue of Joan of Arc marks the site where she was burned at the stake. Footage shows the countryside along the Seine. A popular historical site is the Chateau Gaillard built by Richard the Lionheart in 1196 (08:11). Houseboats idle on the Seine. The film’s next stop is the town of Lisieux (08:40), with its 12th-century cathedral and old pharmacy. Inside the pharmacy, a pharmacist helps a customer. A horse-drawn cart moves along a cobbled street. There are good shots of the streets of Lisieux, as well as the market.

LA GUARDIA  "THE GREATEST DRAMA" DOCUMENTARY 47904</video:title><video:description>This episode of the 1950s TV series The Greatest Drama tells the story of the great “Crusader,” Fiorello H. La Guardia, also known as the “Little Flower.” La Guardia addresses a crowd at a political rally. He sits in a chair at his home and reads a book (01:14). Footage shows New York City’s impoverished lower east side (01:55), where La Guardia grew up. La Guardia serves in World War I as a pilot, and footage shows several planes taking off, while a photograph shows La Guardia in uniform. He was involved in an investigation of the sinking of the S4 submarine (02:52); a salvage ship works where the sub went down. He runs for mayor of New York against Jimmy Walker, who stands smiling in a crowd (03:34). La Guardia speaks passionately to an audience and the camera about reform (04:12). The episode shows City Hall (04:22); inside, newly elected Mayor La Guardia sifts through papers on his desk (04:37). Police officers sit at an event or talk (05:06); La Guardia shows his tough-on-crime attitude using a sledge hammer to destroy slot machines confiscated from mob boss Frank Costello. Firefighters drive through the city’s streets then put out a fire (05:40). La Guardia and his wife sit on a couch with their two children (06:27). The episode shows a parade as part of a rally against Nazi Germany in 1939 (06:50), and La Guardia speaks at the rally. He is then shown speaking in 1940 at the dedication of the new La Guardia Airport (07:20). Women of local air defense units prepare for potential air raids during World War II. La Guardia reads the comics over a radio broadcast, in this case a Dick Tracy comic (08:07). La Guardia walks into City Hall on his last day as mayor (09:05); he turns his office over to successor William O’Dwyer. He is soon working to help the refugees in Europe after the end of World War II. La Guardia speaks at a United Nations meeting (09:36), and, as head of the U.N.

This WWII film details the activities of the men who support the U.S. Army Air Force, from crew chiefs to mechanics to armorers and munitions crew. The film opens with shot of planes flying in the air. An advanced air drone takes off (00:50). The film shows some of the various people who play a role in flight, from mechanics to weather observers. Men climb aboard a bomber (01:12). Plane engines are manufactured at a production facility. An armorer loads machine gun ammo into a plane’s gun (01:54). Men sit at a basic training center after completing their preliminary examination (02:29). A new recruit, Joe, is interviewed to see where his best fit is within the Technical Training Command. The officer goes through the different tracks or schools with Joe. The first is Aircraft Mechanics. Students are given a look at a propeller engine and required tools (09:17). They study a model of a plane and a hydraulic system for operating the landing gear. Students look at wings and flaps (10:28) and how they operate. Several students work on a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk (10:39) and a North American B-25. The students work on a motor that sits on a testing block, while others work to move a motor on a combat field. In the next area, Aircraft Metal Workers, viewers see a student drawing blueprints (11:53). Men shape metal pieces, rivet, and repair radiators (12:30).

"The Phantom Ship" showcases the Ark Royal and its aircraft which at the time it was shot included Westland Sea King helicopters, F-4 Phantom attack aircraft, and Harrier jump jets.  The film is notable in showing some of the capabilities the Royal Navy had at the time of the Falklands War.

The carrier is characterized as "the most powerful surface warship the Royal Navy has ever possessed". This power comes from its aircraft which are introduced over shots of launchings and take-offs - a Phantom FG.1 of 892 Squadron, Buccaneer S.2 of 809, Gannet AEW.3 of 849D (it should be 849B but this clip is from Eagle), Wessex HAR.1 of the SAR Flight and Sea King HAS.1 of 824. Crews and equipment are kept in shape by regular exercises. A well-shot sequence showing Phantoms being launched serves to describe the aircraft and the steam catapult. Buccaneers follow the Phantoms. With the assigned aircraft gone, the fitters and mechanics turn to servicing the aircraft remaining in and on the carrier - Ark Royal must always be ready for instant action. Ark Royal's diplomatic role - every member of the crew is in a sense a PR officer for the ship and for Britain. The usual 'interesting facts' about the number of officers and men, their average age (just 21), and the crew's weekly consumption of foodstuffs. The Phantoms and Buccaneers return to the ship to be talked down in a CCA exercise. The end of another peaceful exercise "and in a sense the existence of the Ark Royal and of the other ships of the Royal Navy is one of the reasons why the exercise was a peaceful one." A final aerial sequence shows the carrier replenishing from an O1 Class tanker - such refuelling extends her range, allowing her to be anywhere she is needed, "in fact if any vessel in the Royal Navy could be dubbed 'The...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1feceb12-586f-4cf1-ac17-67cd833b5dfb/cdc6c1d9-2a14-4086-a71f-7e590326338c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4WDSvfSLnSjdur9g2uqt6M</video:player_loc><video:duration>501</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T08:38:05.920Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/e2dPynmPLfnveUQNZ5cJHy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ac7c91e5-05dd-4bd2-af4e-efb3d8d483cc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1962 HOME MOVIE   ROTA  SPAIN  U.S. NAVAL STATION  13014</video:title><video:description>This silent 8mm home movie was shot in 1962 by a U.S. serviceman based at the U.S. Naval Station in Rota, Spain, also known as Naval Station Rota. NAVSTA Rota has been in use since 1953 when Spanish dictator Francisco Franco strengthened relations with the United States in order to improve local economies. The installation now covers more than 6,000 acres (24 km2) on the northern shore of Cadiz, an area recognized for its strategic, maritime importance over the centuries. 

The film begins with images shot in Southern Spain, including the Seville Cathedral at 42:00. At 1:39 the Amerias Deportes store is visible along with the La Catalan hotel. At 1:34 the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See with the Giralda bell tower is visible. At 2:20 the exterior of the Alcazar is shown. At 3:45 an American (presumably) jumps rope through a hula hoop. At 4:28 beach scenes are shown. 

At 5:23 the German Club is shown. At 5:40 the numerous quonset huts of the Rota Naval Station are seen.At 7:25 a man smokes a cigarette and leans against an Army truck.

This film about the LCVP, or Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel, provides an introduction and look at the nomenclature (00:44) of systems aboard these vessels. The film dates to 1944. LCVP is short for Landing Craft, Vehicle-Personnel, also known as a Higgins boat (named after its creator Andrew Higgins). The film begins by detailing the stats of the LCVP while showing footage of LCVPs skipping along the water then landing on shore (02:11), where they unload soldiers (02:15), vehicles (02:23), and cargo—such as ammunition (02:35). LCVPs are a crucial part in land-sea operations, which can involve ships as well as aircraft, such as dirigibles (03:04). The LCVP’s exterior construction details are recounted while one of the vessels is suspended by a crane (03:17), allowing the viewer to see every part of the boat, including the scuffle boards (03:53) and the keel-like skeg (04:01). That is followed by a look at the interior of the LCVP (05:08), covering the layout. This overview also briefly discusses the engine, engine controls, and how to operate the LCVP (05:37). The film then shows some of the features of the boat, such as the electric compass repeater (07:12), the adjustable wheel (07:23), and the gun pits in the decked-over aft, called the transom (08:21). Next, the film reviews the essential equipment the LCVP is stocked with (09:33). After covering the boat and necessary gear, the film explains the members and roles of the crew (12:03): the coxswain, engineer, sternman, and bowman. The film ends with the bowman and engineer releasing the ramp and troops deploying onto a beach (13:09), followed by the sternman acting as the signalman (13:47).

This silent film from NASA shows the 1-G training version of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) at the "rockpile" at the Manned Space Center in Houston, Texas. The 1-G LRV trainer was built by GM's Delco Electronics Division in Santa Barbara. Whereas the LRV was designed to operate on the lunar surface having % the gravity of Earth, the 1-G trainer had to, in effect, be reverse-engineered to withstand six times its originally designed load and stress parameters, and to take into account other factors. 

The LRV was a four-wheeled, battery powered "dune buggy" taken to the moon on Apollo missions 15, 16, and 17. The LRV was stowed on the descent stage of the Lunar Module and deployed upon arrival at the lunar surface. Actually a "wheeled spacecraft," it was operated with a spacecraft "stick" rather than a steering wheel and could move forward and backward. The design included a communications antenna and a television camera. Each wheel had a 1/4-horsepower electric motor. The LRV could reach speeds of up to 12 miles per hour and carry 1000 pounds (2 astronauts and their equipment). 

LRVs were used for greater surface mobility during the Apollo J-class missions, Apollo 15, Apollo 16, and Apollo 17. The rover was first used on 31 July 1971, during the Apollo 15 mission. This greatly expanded the range of the lunar explorers. Previous teams of astronauts were restricted to short walking distances around the landing site due to the bulky space suit equipment required to sustain life in the lunar environment. The range, however, was operationally restricted to remain within walking distance of the lunar module, in case the rover broke down at any point.[13] The rovers were designed with a top speed of about 8 mph (13 km/h), although Eugene Cernan recorded a maximum speed of 11.2 mph (18.0 km/h), giving him the (un...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fa8ad25e-1ef2-45bb-b7a2-25a7847e7da7/0c44709e-070d-4d3e-ab59-42c62693fbed-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wWpwve6DU2MBsTL5N78Bza</video:player_loc><video:duration>529</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T08:48:45.001Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/e2NStSChpVzxpN1mAz35mf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ba6bb15a-d479-4a26-adc4-970a96a58134.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE MISSILE NAVY" 1960s U.S. NAVY FILM w/ CHET HUNTLEY   LARK, SPARROW, TERRIER, SUBROC 80164</video:title><video:description>The Missile Navy is a late-1960s film reported by Chet Huntley that presents viewers with a history of rocket propulsion and missile development.

Inaccurate even at close range, muskets were most effective when massed together and fired in volleys. At 1:29 the film shows in slow-mo the operation of the flint. At 1:53 a Revolutionary era rifle is shown. The rifle took longer to load and, thanks to its rifled barrel, it was a lot more accurate than the musket. Muskets were used primarily for sniping. At 2:53 cannon are shown being primed, loaded and fired. 

A musket is a muzzle-loaded long gun that appeared as a smoothbore weapon in the early 16th century, at first as a heavier variant of the arquebus, capable of penetrating heavy armor. By the mid-16th century, this type of musket went out of use as heavy armor declined, but as the matchlock became standard, the term musket continued as the name given for any long gun with a flintlock, and then its successors, all the way through the mid-1800s. This style of musket was retired in the 19th century when rifled muskets (simply called rifles in modern terminology) became common as a result of cartridged breech-loading firearms introduced by Casimir Lefaucheux in 1835, the invention of the Minié ball by Claude-Étienne Minié in 1849, and the first reliable repeating rifle produced by Volcanic Repeating Arms in 1854.[4] By the time that repeating rifles became common, they were known as simply "rifles", ending the era of the musket.

In the first segment, “F.O.B. America,” a 2.5-ton amphibious truck called a DUKW or “Duck” drives down the road (00:57). Men float an old army truck across a river using a large tarp. The modern “Duck” drives off a beach and out into the sea, where it cruises through the waves (02:00). The truck carries cargo back to the beach. A DUKW is lowered into the water from a ship (03:09). In the next update, viewers watch a pianist play for dozens of Soviet pilots at an airfield (03:40) before they remove the brush hiding their planes and take to the skies, as well as a woman singing for troops atop a Soviet tank. In the next segment, an Australian solider on leave in the U.S. visits the Empire State Building (07:12) where he meets two American GIs who also fought in the Battle of the Bismarck Sea on 2-4 March 1943. The three recall the battle: planes and bombers wait for the battle to begin. Lockheed P-38 Lightnings and North American B-25s take off; B-17 Flying Fortresses fly over the Pacific. Allied gunners strafe a Japanese ship; a bomber scores a direct hit on a Japanese transport ship. In Mobile, Alabama, the film shows some of the old houses on the old avenues of the city before cutting to the new neighborhoods: tents and make-shift houses provide shelter the families of U.S. servicemen.

The B-1 mock-up fuselage shown was made almost entirely of wood and debuted in 1971. At 3:10 engineers and U.S. Air Force maintenance crew are shown examining the mock-up and demonstrating how the bomber would be serviced in the field. At 5:30 are shots inside the Rockwell plant showing the assembly of the B-1 and the manufacture of some of its component parts. At 7:00 the crew escape capsule is shown being tested. At 7:10 the B-52 bomber "Balls 8" flies the escape capsule up over Edwards AFB for a parachute test. At 8:23, a mock-up of the aircraft is tested for radar signature. A map at 8:55 shows the various companies involved in the B-1 program which had 65,500 sub-contractor jobs affiliated with it in 45 states (11:12). At 12:38 wind tunnel testing of a B-1 and its munitions payload is shown. At 14:00, crew work in a simulator. A pylon test is shown at 14:28 with a large model. The mock-up is shown again at 15:28.

At 15:41 the film transitions to another movie about the General Dynamics F-16. The YF-16 prototype aircraft is shown at 16:53 flying over Edwards Air Force Base. The reactions of ground personnel at 25:47 appear to indicate that this might be the very first test flight of the aircraft. This prototype YF-16 ( #72-1567) was rolled out at Fort Worth on December 13, 1973 and was air freighted by C-5A to Edwards AFB on January 8, 1974. Its first flight was an unintended short hop around the pattern on January 21, 1974 at the hands of test pilot Phil Oestricher. At 30:56 the F-16 is shown next to an F-4 Phantom. The film concludes with beautiful air-to-air shots of the prototype flying over Edwards.

The film describes the four-year program offered by the Academy, and the various academy, athletic, and other opportunities are detailed. Seagoing activities aboard a modern cutter are also shown, including gunnery practice. The film opens with an aerial view of the Academy campus in New London. New Cadets drill on the Academy’s grounds (00:40). A bugler calls cadets for breakfast (01:23); the men fall into breakfast formation in a courtyard. The cadets sit down at formal tables for their breakfast (02:18). Cadets sit in a radio classroom and train with radio systems (02:31). A man works with a direction finder (03:06). Cadets get a hands-on education in the engineering laboratory. An instructor teaches the cadets ordnance use in a classroom (03:20). Cadets participate in a training simulation at an outdoor fire control station (03:40). The film then shows cadets going through infantry drills and, later, playing football (05:15). Two cadets study in their dorm room at night. The cadets board a USCG cutter for their semester at sea (05:45). At Quantico, VA, cadets train with firearms. Cadets are instructed on gunnery upon the deck of the cutter while at sea (06:40). Cadets learn knots and are instructed on operations in the engine and fire room. Aerial footage shows the ships doing battle maneuvers while at sea (07:21). Cadets fire the cutter’s three-inch gun (07:55) and the five-inch gun (08:10), shooting at floating targets. Cadets arrive back at the Academy (08:43), ready to take a 21-day leave before the start of a new year. Cadets sit during their graduation ceremony (09:10); some of the young men receive awards; then they all receive their diplomas (09:51). The film closes with the newly commissioned men singing the coast guard song “Coast Guard Forever.”

Made prior to the Apollo 11 Moon landing, this issue of the Apollo Digest entitled "Examining the Moon" shows the components of the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package (ALSEP) being deployed by a technician wearing an Apollo spacesuit in a simulated lunar environment.  He carries them on a "barbell" that weighs about 30 pounds on the Moon but 200 on Earth. The Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) comprised a set of scientific instruments placed by the astronauts at the landing site of each of the five Apollo missions to land on the Moon following Apollo 11 (Apollos 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17). Apollo 11 left a smaller package called the Early Apollo Scientific Experiments Package, or EASEP.

At 2:49 a nuclear generator containing Plutonium 238 is shown, which can provide electricity to power the experiments. Plutonium 238 only emits Alpha Rays so it presents no threat to the astronauts.

The instrumentation and experiments that would comprise ALSEP were decided in February 1966. Specifically, the experiments, institutions responsible, and principal investigators and coinvestigators were:

Passive Lunar Seismic Experiment: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Frank Press; Columbia University, George Sutton; Georgia Tech, Robert Hostetler. This is shown at 3:34. 

Lunar Tri-axis Magnetometer: Ames Research Center, C. P. Sonett; Marshall Space Flight Center, Jerry Modisette.  This is shown at 4:47.

Medium-Energy Solar Wind: Jet Propulsion Laboratory, C. W. Snyder and M. M. Neugebauer.  This is shown at 3:59.

Suprathermal Ion Detection: Rice University, J. W. Freeman, Jr.; Marshall Space Flight Center, Curt Michel. This is shown at 4:45.

It was made as part of the WWII "Friendly Neighbor" effort by the United States. The film begins with a painting of Puebla, then shows some scenic footage on the road between Puebla and Mexico City: viewers see two volcanoes, Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl, both over 16,000 feet. A car drives along a rural road lined by wild flowers and a snow-capped volcano looming in the background (01:26). A man guides two oxen along the road (01:46). The film shows Zona Arqueologica de Cholula (01:58) with its churches standing on the site over the former Aztec temple known as the Great Pyramid of Cholula. Cholula is home to many churches, including the Church of San Francisco. A man rides a horse on the outskirts of Puebla (03:24). The historic center of Puebla has a distinct Andalucian influence. The film shows the colonial building Casa de Alfenique, which means “almond cake” in Spanish (04:00), with its Andalucian-Moorish architecture. Next, the film takes viewers to Capilla del Rosario (04:40), a 17th-century church with its ornate interior and alter, much of which is covered in gold leaf. Out on the street, men sell serapes (05:16); the film shows other goods for sale, including ornate tile and ceramic ware. Beautiful countryside vistas greet the visitor as they leave Puebla for Fortin de las Flores. Fortin de las Flores lies between Cordoba and Orizaba. Little girls try to sell flowers and other crafts to visitors (06:10). Pico de Orizaba Volcano looms in the distance. A man jumps off a diving board into a pool at the modern hotel in the tiny village. The film shows the lush gardens of the hotel with its array of vibrant flora (07:40). The nearby town of Orizaba (08:30) sits on the slopes of Pico de Orizaba. A cobblestone street leads to a church (09:08). A man and a woman walk down a road carrying what may be tobacco leaves, thus concluding the shor...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4a201584-6c6b-47fd-89bd-7e0d5df1a5a9/7d98323c-18e9-491f-963d-13d0956ec7ad-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/a9TJVAPNDBXgbV5Q9JiR3a</video:player_loc><video:duration>590</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T09:42:11.381Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mJSYQrZPuFhTyu3wPX67ku</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9d55b88c-5344-40d5-9f86-5499617901da.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>XB-70 SUPERSONIC STRATEGIC BOMBER PROMO FILM  "XB-70 STORY" 23154</video:title><video:description>Made prior to the disastrous accident that destroyed one of two prototypes, The XB-70 Story describes the development and flight testing of the Valkyrie supersonic bomber. The North American Aviation XB-70 Valkyrie was the prototype of the B-70 nuclear-armed, deep-penetration strategic bomber for the Strategic Air Command of the U.S. Air Force. In the 1950s, the North American Aviation company designed the Valkyrie bomber as a large, six-engine aircraft capable of reaching Mach 3+ while flying at 70,000 feet (21,000 m), which velocity and altitude capabilities would allow the evasion of interceptor aircraft, then the only effective weapon against bomber aircraft.

In 1961, improved, high-altitude surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), the U.S. Air Force's doctrinal change to low-level penetration bombing, the large development costs of the B-70 program, and the introduction of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) to the U.S. nuclear arsenal, led to the cancellation of the B-70 program. As such, two prototype aircraft were built, and designated XB-70A; these aircraft were used for supersonic test-flights during 1964–69. In 1966, one prototype crashed after colliding in midair with a smaller jet aircraft; the remaining Valkyrie bomber is in the National Museum of the United States Air Force, in Ohio.

In March 1960 the Curtiss-Wright Corporation developed the X-100, a prototype for a new, vertical takeoff transport aircraft. The X-100 had a single turboshaft engine, which propelled two tilting-propellers, while at the tail swivelling nozzles used the engine's exhaust gases to give additional control for hovering or slow flight. Although sometimes classified as a tiltrotor aircraft, the design differed from the Bell VTOL XV tiltrotor designs. The X-19 utilized specially designed radial lift propellers, rather than helicopter like rotors, for vertical takeoff and augmenting the lift provided by the wing structures.
From the X-100 Curtiss-Wright developed the larger X-200, of which the United States Air Force ordered two prototypes designated the X-19A. At 3:17 the McDonnell XV-1 is shown. This was an experimental compound gyroplane developed for a joint research program between the United States Air Force and the United States Army to explore technologies to develop an aircraft that could take off and land like a helicopter but fly at faster airspeeds, similar to a conventional airplane. The XV-1 would reach a speed of 200 mph (320 km/h; 170 kn), faster than any previous rotorcraft, but the program was terminated due to the tip-jet noise and complexity of the technology which gave only a modest gain in performance. At 5:03 the Ryan VZ-3 is shown. The VZ-3 was a simple proof-of-concept experimental aircraft using blown flaps to achieve a short or near vertical take-off. It was a high-wing monoplane powered by an Avco Lycoming T53 turboshaft engine located inside the fuselage driving two large-diameter propellers mounted, one on each wing. It had a T-tail and originally a tailwheel fixed landing gear. It had wide-span double retractable trailing-edge f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/66cbbfdf-4353-4b22-8b89-6b352a15707c/d028a915-bd04-4a3d-8ff4-38cfad27bdd6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dGewqtQtyFbLQgSVHYG9A9</video:player_loc><video:duration>1942</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T09:48:16.851Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7EWJ3VVkTq1T7gBaoSRjbd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5832e1c6-3f37-4513-b6ea-266f35c91ab8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BOW HUNTER ART YOUNG in ALASKA 1922-1923   "ALASKA ADVENTURE"  47764</video:title><video:description>The first bowhunting movie ever made, the silent documentary "Alaskan Adventure" showcases the skill of Art Young. Young was a gifted athlete who learned his archery skills from Will Compton. Compton also later introduced him to Dr. Saxton Pope and Ishi. Young used his exceptional abilities with the bow and arrow to quiet skeptics who doubted the efficiency of the archer's tools. According to Cassius Styles, Art Young was the best shot of the group, "He was one of the very few men I have seen who was really master of an 80 pound hunting bow. This was not because he was gifted with enormous strength; he commanded that bow because he was not too lazy to practice with simple persistence. He was a violinist with enough real talent to give finished recitals with the same hand that gripped his heavy shooting gear. His shooting was as artistic as a recital, and almost as thrilling." Among other species, Young harvested deer, moose, Dall's sheep, brown bear, grizzly bear and African lion. Young also wrote articles for Sports Afield. This film Alaskan Adventure was shot in 1922 and 1923. It was at that time that Young traveled to Alaska accompanied by cameraman Jack Robertson. Neither carried a firearm, relying solely upon Young's osage longbow for protection. Young took mountain sheep, mountain goat, moose and an Alaskan brown bear on Kodiak Island. The film was released around 1926.

The film was likely released with a soundtrack or possibly shown as part of a presentation with someone speaking over it; regardless this version is silent. The film contains some interesting details including air to ground attack footage (10:00 and following), carrier flight operations,  footage of arresting gear and barrier operations aboard the post-WWII carriers, refueling at sea (25:30), and replenshiment at sea (28:00). 

The timeframe appears to be during the Korean War, and indeed Oriskany was involved in the defense of South Korea. The carrier departed San Diego on 15 September 1952, to aid United Nations forces, arrived Yokosuka on 17 October and joined Task Force 77 off the Korean Coast on 31 October. Her aircraft struck hard with bombing and strafing attacks against enemy supply lines and coordinated bombing missions with surface gunstrikes along the coast. Her pilots downed two Soviet-built MiG-15 jets and damaged a third on 18 November.

Strikes continued through 11 February, attacking enemy artillery positions, troop emplacements, and supply dumps along the main battlefront. Following a brief upkeep period in Japan, Oriskany returned to combat on 1 March 1953. She continued in action until 29 March, called at Hong Kong, then resumed air strikes on 8 April. She departed the Korean Coast on 22 April, touched at Yokosuka, and then departed for San Diego on 2 May, arriving there on 18 May.

The film was made by McDonnell Aircraft to showcase their F2H-2 Banshee,  a single-seat carrier-based jet fighter aircraft deployed by the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps from 1948 to 1961. It was one of the primary American fighters used during the Korean War and was the only jet-powered fighter ever deployed by the Royal Canadian Navy, serving the RCN from 1955 until 1962.

Likely produced circa 1978 (though the Roman numeral copyright date — MCXXVIII — translates to the year 1128), the narrator explains at mark 01:07 that “Unrestrained Flying Objects” … are people. The film goes on to dramatically show, through the use of simulated accidents, what can and does happen to the occupants of an automobile when wearing lap and shoulder belts incorrectly … or not at all. As slow motion images of an unrestrained “dummy” appear on the screen, the narrator explains at mark 01:30, “How unusual we are. We fear the unknown but we’re apparently casual with predictable danger. Even when faced with 30,000 deaths.”

Mark 02:15 begins a series of common explanations as to why drivers and passengers dislike using seat belts, including the belief that making only short trips makes one immune to accidents, or the belief that it is better to be thrown clear of a vehicle in an accident.

Since 1964, we are told at mark 04:07, most major car manufacturers began installing front safety belts in their vehicles. Yet four out of five drivers still do not use them, says the narrator. The results can be deadly as at mark 04:27 the film shows another series of slow-motion footage involving crash test dummies, both with and without restraints. The film also stresses GM’s commitment to automotive safety, and beginning at mark 05:20 takes the audience to one of the company’s research facilities. There, the film shows us various sizes of anthropomorphic test dummies as well as many of the tests in which they are used. “Without the belt system, it’s ‘say hello’ to the steering wheel, the windshield, or the instrument panel,” we’re tol...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d940f446-3a2a-4e43-8994-f1061f074513/86e69e2d-b224-4837-a123-364ba75831fd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sPZqSYXswsLj7GJNtUZ3jP</video:player_loc><video:duration>865</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T09:58:35.880Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tb3KgSKgxbUtMPnQdnKcSf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e679dd6f-250e-4ef6-b8f6-9037d9259af5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s MASSASOIT GREYHOUND PARK  RAYNHAM MASSACHUSETTS  1940s HOME MOVIE  84944</video:title><video:description>This silent home movie from the 1940s was shot by a member of the Massasoit Greyhound Association, which was based in Raynham, Massachusetts. Racing continued at the park until the end of 2009, when it shut down. Raynham Park opened in 1940 and was founded by Russ Murray and with the financial backing of the Carney family. The lure at Raynham Park was known as "The Chief". The park was operated by the Massasoit Greyhound Association, and located near the Hockamock Swamp. The Wampanoag Indians lived along the swamp years before and called it “The place where spirits dwell”.  Their Chief Massasoit was an important friend to the pilgrims and without him the Plymouth Colony might not have survived.  "The Chief" was named in honor of Massasoit and the 7/16th course was called the “Hockamock Course”.Raynham bought out the nearby Taunton track in 1981. Taunton’s lure was called "Rusty", and going forward at the Raynham-Taunton Greyhound Park the lure was called The Chief from January through June, and Rusty the rest of the year.

Aside from the racing, some of the highlights of the film include at 2:19 the arrival of crowds by Yellow Coach bus, shots of associate judge for the racing commission Richard Maliff, judge Gilbert C. Miller and timer E.J. L'Italien, the snackbar (3:14), kennel area (3:20) and club veterinarian Dr. J.H. O'Brien (4;49).

Greyhound racing is an organized, competitive sport in which greyhounds are raced around a track. There are two forms of greyhound racing, track racing (normally around an oval track) and coursing. Track racing uses an artificial lure (now based on a windsock) that travels ahead of the dogs on a rail until the greyhounds cross the finish line. As with horse racing, greyhound races often allow the public to bet on the outcome.

In many countries greyhound racing is purely amateur and solely for enjoyment. In other countries, particularly Australia, Ireland, Macau, Mexico, Spain, the UK and the US, greyhound racing is part of the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dc0ddfb5-7ba3-405d-8b0e-4581d0d42bf6/49e33389-8f6f-4ca2-a935-b227086c28a8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tb3KgSKgxbUtMPnQdnKcSf</video:player_loc><video:duration>651</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T10:00:37.291Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iM7qGUnPPcKYcRNzxCQsSF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c7e888a6-7def-4f34-a5a1-338e5dd745f2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BELL X-22 V/STOL X-PLANE PROTOTYPE &amp; F9F COUGAR CARRIER LANDING TESTS at PAX RIVER  80544</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

These silent "rushes" or dailies from 1967 show rare footage of the Bell X-22,  an American V/STOL X-plane with four tilting ducted fans. The aircraft shown is tail 1521, the second of the two prototypes built and the only one to survive the program. As you can see in the footage, takeoff was to selectively occur either with the propellers tilted vertically upwards, or on a short runway with the nacelles tilted forward at approximately 45°. Additionally, the X-22 was to provide more insight into the tactical application of vertical takeoff troop transporters such as the preceding Hiller X-18 and the X-22 successor, the Bell XV-15. Another program requirement was a true airspeed in level flight of at least 525 km/h (326 mph; 283 knots). The X-22 shown here first flew on 26 August 1967. Early that year, it was equipped with a variable flight control and stabilizer system from Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory, which improved flight performance. Although the X-22 was considered to be the best aircraft of its type at the time, the program was canceled. The required maximum speed of 525 km/h was never reached. The second prototype was moved to Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory for further testing; the last flight occurred in 1988. Although the ducted fan propellers were considered usable, they were not used again on a US military aircraft until the F-35B.

The next part of the film shows the F9F-7 Cougar and dates to 1955. This footage is likely from Pax River, Maryland and shows testing of aircraft carrier landing equipment. Interestingly, the plane's landing gear is never deployed so these low passes with the hook down must have been perilous. At 4:44 the aircraft catches the wire and lands. This type of approach appears again at the 5:3...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8ff7c979-102f-4c0e-a7bf-9d483da3a583/948d2074-4c99-44e1-afce-22bdd0278266-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iM7qGUnPPcKYcRNzxCQsSF</video:player_loc><video:duration>653</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T10:02:56.276Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/f2gyK8J7WHU1sEQ19Yhr8D</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4d43ac99-918a-41e9-9aae-351077bcfd41.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE STORY OF SMOKEY BEAR  w/ HOPALONG CASSIDY   U.S. FOREST SERVICE FIRE FIGHTERS   98974</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

Made in 1953, "Little Smokey" tells the story of Smokey the Bear, as told by cowboy actor William Boyd, also known as Hopalong Cassidy. 

Smokey Bear is an American advertising icon created by the U.S. Forest Service with artist Albert Staehle, possibly in collaboration with writer and art critic Harold Rosenberg. In the longest-running public service advertising campaign in United States history, the Ad Council, the United States Forest Service (USFS), and the National Association of State Foresters (NASF) employ Smokey Bear to educate the public about the dangers of unplanned human-caused wildfires.

A campaign featuring Smokey and the slogan "Smokey Says – Care Will Prevent 9 out of 10 Forest Fires" began in 1944. His later slogan, "Remember... Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires" was created in 1947 and was associated with Smokey Bear for more than five decades. In April 2001, the message was officially updated to "Only You Can Prevent Wildfires." in response to a massive outbreak of wildfires in natural areas other than forests (such as grasslands), and to clarify that Smokey is promoting the prevention of unplanned outdoor fire versus prescribed fires. According to the Ad Council, 80% of outdoor recreationists correctly identified Smokey Bear's image and 8 in 10 recognized the campaign PSAs.

In 1952, the songwriters Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins had a successful song named "Smokey the Bear" which was performed by Eddy Arnold. The pair said "the" was added to Smokey's name to keep the song's rhythm. During the 1950s, that variant of the name became widespread both in popular speech and in print, including at least one standard encyclopedia, though Smokey Bear's name never officially changed. A 1955 book in the Little Golden Boo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/718d46e9-9e05-4fa8-bb0d-3fe7c641a73f/b309cc0a-7cb4-4759-9caa-6e955ee16b35-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/f2gyK8J7WHU1sEQ19Yhr8D</video:player_loc><video:duration>777</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T10:03:43.978Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wE4Sg4MYRg6y6vANQLebjJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/080b2f72-c06c-48c3-9c40-a23781abcb0d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE    MOOSEHART CHILD CITY &amp; MOOSEHAVEN RETIREMENT COMMUNITY  50334</video:title><video:description>This short film, likely from the 1940s, is from the Loyal Order of Moose, the family fraternity, and gives members an update on two of the order’s major projects: Mooseheart and Moosehaven.

"THE DIESEL STORY"  RUDOLF DIESEL &amp; DEVELOPMENT OF DIESEL ENGINE 48124</video:title><video:description>The Diesel Story is a short 1952 film that gives viewers a brief overview of how early internal combustion engines functioned as well as a short history of the development of the diesel engine from the different prototypes developed by Rudolf Diesel during the late 19th to the modern diesel engines used in a wide variety of machines. The film opens with footage of men crushing grain by hand, a windmill, and an industrial town. Coal miners mine coal with pickaxes. The film shows some of the early internal combustion engines (02:05), such as the four-stroke Otto silent gas engine. Animation is used to show how a four-stroke engine works (02:42). Two men climb into an early car model and take it for a drive (03:10). Next, the film shows the “hot bulb” engine designed in 1890 by Akroyd Stuart (03:30). A “Hornsby-Akroyd” hot bulb engine model is on display. A man turns the flag wheel of the engine (04:14), and the film uses animation to show how the piston and hot bulb function. Viewers see a picture of Rudolf Diesel (06:15), who creates a new engine. There is a close-up shot of a glass cylinder and piston (06:54), which was used in the diesel engine. Animation shows the process of combustion in this design. The film then uses a reenactment of Rudolf Diesel and his team working on diesel prototypes in Augsburg, Germany (08:00). Animation is again used to show the addition of adding an air pump to the engine. This new design is tested in the Augsburg workroom (09:50). The men observe the new engine, which they complete in 1897 (11:25). A diesel engine is used to drive electric generators (12:26). Footage shows the first diesel engine ocean-going ship, the Selandia, as it sets sail (12:47). (13:18) The ship heads for Bangkok. The film shows other diesel ships, including the Rinovia. Next, the film gives viewers a look at some of the developments of the diesel engine during the first half of the 20th century: an air-blast method and jerk-type pump (15:18), an airless inj...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/90b1cdf7-6145-42d9-859b-ad470b72931f/fef9dfa5-0287-4f57-90d9-2bce2131b68c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iSjgBPk9wnLL8xYXEKTfo4</video:player_loc><video:duration>1103</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T10:12:08.098Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pqZQVxxoyRNkUo6NPDL5Fm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/942beab3-212d-4e14-b468-49889843fefa.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s INDIA, EAST &amp; WEST PAKISTAN (BANGLADESH) 1950s EDUCATIONAL FILM  55334</video:title><video:description>This late 1950s or early 1960s film documentary provides an overview of conditions in the subcontinent of India during that time.

In 2011 a book about the incident by Mitchell Zuckoff was published: "Lost in Shangri-La: A True Story of Survival, Adventure, and the Most Incredible Rescue Mission of World War II."  The book and the film detail the story of the U.S. military airplane called "The Gremlin Special", which crashed on May 13, 1945 in Netherlands New Guinea, and the subsequent rescue of the survivors. Because the incident involved a female WAC Corporal lost in the jungle with "savages", the public became keenly interested in following the story. It was written about in the November 1945 issue of Reader's Digest magazine, and many other press channels. The airplane started from Hollandia in Netherlands New Guinea (at the time part of Netherlands Indies, nowadays Indonesia) as a pleasure flight over a remote valley in New Guinea with 24 passengers, but only three people survived the crash: WAC corporal Margaret Hastings, sergeant Kenneth Decker and lieutenant John McCollom. They were later rescued by paratroopers who carried them out in gliders.

The name "Shangri-La" was given by the press, lifted from the 1933 novel Lost Horizon. The "Gremlin" in the plane's name was borrowed from the myth of Gremlins, which are often associated to mishaps and mechanical troubles of airplanes.

The film begins in Freiderichshafen, Germany with the mighty dirigible preparing to make its first trans-Atlantic flight. This was the zeppelin's first intercontinental trip, a 9,926 km (6,168 mi), 111-hour crossing from Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst with Dr. Eckener in command. Capt. Ernst Lehmann, who would be killed in the crash of the Hindenburg at Lakehurst eight and a half years later, served as First Officer on the flight and U.S. Navy LCDR Charles E. Rosendahl, commander of the ZR-3 USS Los Angeles (ex-LZ 126), made the westward journey during which he also stood watch as a regular ship's officer.Despite encountering heavy headwinds and stormy weather, Eckener had repeated the success of his first transatlantic crossing four years earlier when he delivered the LZ-126 to the U.S. Navy in October 1924 and was welcomed enthusiastically then both with a "ticker tape" parade in New York and a subsequent invitation to the White House.

On this first transatlantic trip the airship suffered potentially serious damage to its port tail fin on the third day of the flight when a large section of the linen covering was ripped loose while passing through a mid-ocean squall line at night about 1,500 miles (2,400 km) east of Bermuda (35°N, 42°W). With the engines stopped, the ship's riggers did their best to tie down the torn fabric to the framework and sew blankets to the ship's envelope while attempting not to fall to the raging seas below. In the interest of safety, the riggers (including Dr. Eckener's son, Knut) retreated back into the ship whenever it dropped to within a couple of hundred feet of the ocean's surface. This allowed the engines to be restarted to maintain lift.

The footage shows the launch, lunar rendezvous, moon landing and exploration including the use of the moon rover, and the return to Earth and splashdown and recovery of the crew. 

Apollo 15 was the ninth crewed mission in the United States' Apollo program, the eighth to be successful, and the fourth to land on the Moon. It was the first J mission, with a longer stay on the Moon and a greater focus on science than earlier landings. Apollo 15 saw the first use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle.

The mission began on July 26, 1971, and ended on August 7, the lunar surface exploration taking place between July 30 and August 2. Commander David Scott and Lunar Module Pilot James Irwin landed near Hadley Rille and explored the local area using the rover, allowing them to travel further from the lunar module than had been possible on previous missions. They spent 181⁄2 hours on the Moon's surface on extravehicular activity (EVA), and collected 170 pounds (77 kg) of surface material.

At the same time, Command Module Pilot Alfred Worden orbited the Moon, operating the sensors in the SIM bay of the service module. This suite of instruments collected data on the Moon and its environment using a panoramic camera, a gamma-ray spectrometer, a mapping camera, a laser altimeter, a mass spectrometer, and a lunar subsatellite deployed at the end of Apollo 15's stay in lunar orbit. On the journey home, Worden performed the first spacewalk in deep space, and the mission splashed down safely despite the loss of one of its three parachutes.

The mission accomplished its goals but was marred by negative publicity the following year when it emerged that the crew had carried unauthorized postal covers to the lunar surface, some of which were sold by a West German stamp dealer. The members of the crew were reprimanded for poor judgment, and did not fly in space again. Apollo 15 is also remembered for the finding of the G...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9bb73ca5-e106-4f33-a274-c8c246e08a02/711244e3-a625-4021-87f4-cca363bab5c0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kefuKTdqe1fxfr83rejte5</video:player_loc><video:duration>1104</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T10:29:03.694Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9KLXTMPEZ6kQmTR5dC7hpt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/caa73372-26b2-4356-8d24-91ea690c6b58.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"DEBT TO THE PAST: SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY"  1960s MOODY SCIENCE INSTITUTE FILM  51474</video:title><video:description>Debt To The Past: Science And Technology is a short 1960s educational film from the Moody Institute of Science that recaps the developments from the past that have helped lead to the modern development in science and technology.

At 2:04 the SS Imperial is shown in port next to an American flagged passenger liner SS Cristobal (the flag at 2:24 is likely a symbol for U-boats to be aware that the ship is neutral). The images date from before January of 1942, as in that month S.S. Cristobal was requisitioned from the Panama Railroad Company by the U.S. Army and re-painted with camouflage. Cristobal was a reconditioned freighter, formerly known as the SS Tremont, that worked in U.S. Government service for most of its career. At 2:30 are images shot aboard the ship including a swimming pool. At 3;45 the ship arrives off a port, probably Samboa, where a steam engine and port facilities are seen. At 5:45 overexposed footage of another ship is seen. At 6:09 green bananas are loaded by groups of workers. At 7:20, the bar Amenaza is seen -- probably in the Dominican Republic / Santo Domingo. At 8:22 an overturned automobile is seen -- a car accident. A flag flying at 8:30 in the distance appears to be that of Mexico. A large square with hotels and various buildings is seen -- possibly Lima, Peru. The building at 9:42 seems to have the red white and red flag of Peru.  This appears to be the Presidential Palace in Lima. At 10;20 a botanical garden is sen. At 10:53 tourists climb a hill so as to get a good view of an auto race.

OF TREASURY PROMO FILM FOR WWII VICTORY LOAN MOTION PICTURES  WAR BOND SALES 42364</video:title><video:description>Presented by the Special Events Section of the United States Dept. of Treasury, this short film is a promo for the Victory Loan Program in 1945. The film presents an overview of the motion pictures created to promote the Victory Loans — war bond sales — to continue financing the war effort. The films promoted include "Peace Comes to America", "Stilwell Road", "Objective Security", "Diary of a Sergeant", and more. The film ends with the song "We've Got Another Bond to Buy" sung by Bing Crosby. 

This film from the U.S. Treasury’s War Finance Division outlining the Victory Loan program, aimed at encouraging Americans to continue purchasing war bonds even after major combat operations have ceased. It highlights the availability of 15 new dramatic films, including messages from President Truman and features on key wartime and postwar topics such as the Pacific theater, radar technology, and national rehabilitation. These films, distributed widely on 16mm, are tools to inspire support in schools, factories, banks, and community events. The campaign is bolstered by large-scale special events—Army parades, Navy Day celebrations, Air Force glider shows, and appearances by hundreds of military nurses. The motion picture industry is heavily involved, with theaters, trailers, and Hollywood stars helping to drive the bond message home.

The 944 is manufactured in Aurora, IL, and is powered by a four-cylinder Cat D330 Diesel Engine or a Cat six-cylinder gasoline engine. The film opens with a man climbing onto a 944 Traxcavator. A 944 is operated in a field (00:50). A man climbs onto a 944 and demonstrates the machine’s adjustable seat, controls, and bucket controls. He uses the 944 to shovel dirt and then dumps it. A Traxcavator is driven along a gravel road (02:30). An operator drives a 944 down a paved road. On a rural road, the 944 stops for a school bus (03:55). At a gravel pit work site, the 944 makes quick work of moving gravel into a truck (04:40). The film shows the two engines that 944 customers can choose between (06:17). The Caterpillar transmission is shown as it hangs from a chain at the Aurora production plant (06:58). The film shows the 944’s chassis frame, then the clip ends.

Traxcavator was originally a namebrand of the Trackson Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The word "Traxcavator" came from combining "tractor" and "excavator".Trackson commenced business in Milwaukee in 1922 and built tracked attachments for primarily Fordson tractors, initially - then built tracked attachments for other tractor manufacturers. The early Trackson tracked attachments were popular on tractors used for road grader power units, as well as for tractors used in poor ground conditions.In December 1951 the Caterpillar Company purchased the Trackson Company, and the cable Traxcavators and the HT4, became Caterpillar Traxcavators.

In late 1952, the all-new No.6 Caterpillar Shovel was announced by Caterpillar, and cable Traxcavator production ceased. The Caterpillar HT4 and No.6 Shovel were the only hydraulic Traxcavators available from Caterpillar until the all-new 933, 955 and 977 made their appearance in early...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a0a22d13-0f43-47b6-98b8-c91a39a10ac7/df24f2ad-4ff6-4986-a170-7ddf839f1b25-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kQtjWrSabrR7oMs9jpnMDr</video:player_loc><video:duration>507</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T10:44:42.497Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/v216E3oVA9PQ69Kk6mp6w9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/395aff44-3d50-4d15-8d8f-fe3b1bed3c2c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>18th CENTURY LIFE IN WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA  1966 DOCUMENTARY FILM  31604</video:title><video:description>Presented by Colonial Williamsburg, Eighteenth Century Life in Williamsburg, Virginia is a 1966 story of a typical morning of a colonial household.

It contains raw footage intended to showcase the planned Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL). See below for more about this program.

The various segments in the film include a look at a zero G shower (4:05 and following) that dates to 1969, with water attracted and contained due to electromagnetic forces. At 21:00, an astronaut puts on a space suit for a test. At 22:47 he enters the M.O.L. mock-up and shows how he would maneuver inside. At 25:01 more detail is added to the M.O.L. mock-up. At 25:18 a Gemini capsule mock-up is shown with USAF markings. At 25:23 the M.O.L. module is shown outside a Republic hangar. At 27:30 the mock-up is moved by truck past the Republic Aviation plant. At 28:41 an astronaut suits up inside the M.O.L. mock-up and then proceeds to do some maneuvering tests inside. At 31:20 what might be a mock-up of the zero-g shower is shown being installed in the M.O.L. mock-up. At 32:54 the interior of the Gemini capsule mock-up is shown. The film ends with shots of the fully erected M.O.L. mock-up with the capsule and escape system atop it. 

The Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL), originally referred to as the Manned Orbital Laboratory, was part of the United States Air Force's manned spaceflight program, a successor to the cancelled Boeing X-20 Dyna-Soar military reconnaissance space plane project. The project was developed from several early Air Force and NASA concepts of manned space stations to be used for reconnaissance purposes. MOL evolved into a single-use laboratory, with which crews would be launched on 40-day missions and return to Earth using a Gemini B spacecraft, derived from NASA's Gemini program.

The MOL program was announced to the public on December 10, 1963, as a manned platform to prove the utility of man in space for military missions. Astronauts selected for the program were later told of the reconnaissance missi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6683027a-7272-4e77-9b84-9122b78f1ba7/7e0355ee-53cd-4b6f-a6a8-3b97bbef1942-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dEcuyKtA7zx1RmxLSNRXvi</video:player_loc><video:duration>2134</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T10:54:25.786Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8TaPw5CKW9RwyeYHjidZwS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/775f7df1-96c6-404a-9997-976fa3ec976d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. ARMY AIR DEFENSE COMMAND NIKE MISSILE 20104</video:title><video:description>This is the story of the United States Army Air Defense Command! Project Nike was a U.S. Army project, proposed in May 1945 by Bell Laboratories, to develop a line-of-sight anti-aircraft missile system. The project delivered the United States' first operational anti-aircraft missile system, the Nike Ajax, in 1953. A great number of the technologies and rocket systems used for developing the Nike Ajax were re-used for a number of functions, many of which were given the "Nike" name (after Nike, the goddess of victory from Greek mythology). The missile's first-stage solid rocket booster became the basis for many types of rocket including the Nike Hercules missile and NASA's Nike Smoke rocket, used for upper-atmosphere research.

This 1963 military film introduces civilians and sailors alike to the role of the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Ships and the role it plays in building and maintaining the nation's fleet of ships and submarines. It also showcases the emerging technology, including computers, used in this mission.  Congress established the Bureau of Ships (also known as BuShips) in 1940 - consolidating the Bureau of Construction and Repair and the Bureau of Engineering into one single bureau. In 1966, the Bureau was abolished as part of a general overhaul of the Navy's structure.

During this time, the Bureau of Ships was in charge of ship design and construction, from its initial engineering stages to the final stages of construction. In addition it serviced the ships for maintenance and repair as well as de-commissioning and scrapping vessels that had reached the end of their service life. It also undertook research and development efforts to improve the technology used in constructing naval vessels.

The film opens with a delivery truck carrying the Ferguson 35 tractor to a farm. The Ferguson sales/deliveryman backs the tractor off the trailer then shows off the tractor’s body to the farmer (02:10). The film explains the engine as the Ferguson man points out the oil tank, removes the front grill to show the radiator (04:30), and opens the hood to show where the battery is (05:05). The film shows the tractor’s 6-speed transmission (05:45) with safety starter. The film then shows the Ferguson man driving the tractor to demonstrate its various capabilities. The tractor drags a cultivator rake behind it. A close-up shot shows the Ferguson 35’s steering wheel and instrument panel (08:10). The Ferguson man demonstrates the light-power takeoff (09:15). The Ferguson 35 bales hay (09:31) with a side baler, pulls a harvester (10:40), and pulls a water tank with attached sprayer. The tractor rakes a field (13:04), then it uses its hydraulic lift to raise the rake. The Ferguson’s hydraulic loader allows for the moving of earth or manure. The film then shows the Ferguson 35 with various wheel sizes. The Ferguson man demonstrates the hydraulic control lever for raising or lowering the tractor’s implement or tool attachment (16:40).

More than 13,000 men were killed during WWII era flight training. “Learn and Live with Joe Instructor” was an attempt to lower the number of losses, by emphasizing to pilots how to fly safely, and not give into the urge or temptation to hot dog, show off or not pay attention in the sky. "Learn And Live" was produced by the First Motion Picture Unit of the Army Air Forces that presents reenactments of fatal accidents caused by common pilot errors. The film’s story is based on “Joe Instructor” going to “Pilot Heaven” where he talks with Saint Peter about the loss of a number of good pilots to unnecessary mistakes. The film incorporates humor despite attempting to stress the severe consequences of not following protocol or staying focused while flying. The film opens with Joe Instructor walking up a staircase through clouds on his way to the gates of “Pilot Heaven.” He greets Saint Peter and observes a group of “angel” pilots milling around and engaging in day-to-day activities: getting a haircut, painting, playing pool. The film then recaps the stories of how some of the pilots died. A pilot, “Mr. Nonchalant,” lands a North American T-6 Texan on a runway and unfastens his safety belt before stopping the plane. He doesn’t pay attention to the final moments of his landing and crashes into a barrier at the end of the runway (4:33). Another pilot flies a T-6 and waits too long to clear his engine during his landing, leading to a crash. Men from the base jump into trucks and race to the crash site where the T-6 is in flames. A pilot rushes to a T-6 and neglects to check the oil temperature. He taxis out on the runway and takes off (08:47), then he stalls the plane and crashes. An animation of the oil temperature gauge yells at the dying pilot. Two pilots climb into a Consolidated B-24 Liberator and run through the flight check (11:07) but cut it short. The bomber won’t take off because of exten...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/752b28c6-17d8-449b-8b61-d82cee69525a/68b8b7df-ec67-4a44-8204-c1eb40709c6b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ftaXvtCZTTm9FqdBEsEpa5</video:player_loc><video:duration>2017</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T11:08:51.984Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/khmQDFCm2EvSrmCcLJ7dJJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e7253a61-a8e0-49ad-89ce-5a5e7335b595.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>INDUSTRY ON PARADE   PORTLAND CEMENT    SARAN WRAP    BABY RUTH CANDY BARS   60024</video:title><video:description>This black and white film is probably one of a 1950-1960 television series Industry on Parade, produced by the National Association of Manufacturers.

Blake, Inc., is a short film promoting the yeast production and packaging by the Fleischmann Division at the company’s yeast production plant (01:40). A man in a laboratory separates yeast cells under a microscope (02:11). Women transfer yeast cells in a wort to a larger glass flask (02:58), carefully sanitizing the flasks in the process. The women then transfer the yeast cultures into even bigger glass containers. A man at the Fleischmann plant monitors yeast production in industrial-sized fermenters (05:00). The film gives an inside look at how the fermenters work, with water coming in, wort streamlining into the fermenter, and seed yeast added to the liquid solution. Yeast is separated from the wort (08:35) then is washed in sterile water and separated again from any remaining wort. Yeast is cooled by flowing over refrigerated coils (09:22). Yeast is compressed through filter cloths, and workers harvest the compressed yeast (10:10). Men haul a cartload of yeast, then dump it into a mixer. Women oversee the cutting and wrapping of the yeast (11:33) in a large warehouse room. A man tests a pound of processed yeast for protein content (12:35). Workers test the yeast in a test kitchen (13:37) before the batch is sent out for commercial sale. Two women add ingredients, including yeast, into mixers (14:40), then they place the dough into ovens. A woman packs bricks of yeast for shipping on the assembly line (15:33). Boxes of yeast are sealed and move on a conveyer belt (16:40) for shipping. At what appears to be a separate bakery, bakers load bread dough into a commercial oven. The film ends with shots of different types of baked breads.

The film begins with a Supermarine Attacker fighter plane moving out onto a runway at a Supermarine facility. Pilot Jeffrey Quill demonstrates flying the Attacker, flying the plane above a crowd of spectators at the airfield facility. A type 510, a high-speed version of the Attacker, taxis out on the runway (02:14). Lt. Mike Lithgow sits in the aircraft’s cockpit; the 510 (later known as the Supermarine Swift) flies over the airfield on display. It then smoothly completes an approach and landing. The film then takes viewers back to 1925 and the development of Supermarine’s racing seaplanes, starting with one of Supermarine’s earliest planes—the S.4 (04:00). Two years later, Supermarine develops the S.5 (04:20); an S.5 takes off from the sea just off the coast of Italy. Pilot D’Arcy Greig is carried ashore in celebration after making a record flight with the S.5. The next step in fighter development is the S.6 (05:03). Crowds watch the S.6 as it takes off in an attempt to set a new speed record. An Italian Macchi M.52 takes off from the water. The film shows the British team from the 1929 race (most likely the Schneider Trophy race). During the 1931 contest, an S.6B fires up its engine and is moved out onto the water (06:26). The aircraft takes off from the water. In 1936, a Spitfire prototype taxis out on a runway and takes off (07:27); the aircraft makes its first public appearance in July of that year. Shortly after, the first production Spitfire takes off (08:08). The film shows members of the Royal Air Force standing in front of a squadron of Spitfires.

The series consisted of weekly episodes that highlighted American manufacturing and business. Hundreds of companies and products were documented during the [program’s] decade-long run.”

1957’s episode 346 begins with “Virginia,” where viewers see a replica of the flagship Susan Constant in the harbor outside of Jamestown. The episode shows a reenactment of settlers building the community (01:30): men in steel armor march outside the stockade, and a man feeds a furnace in a building. Costumed artisans blow glass in the manner that it would have been done by the early residents of Jamestown. A man makes a glass bottle by hand as visitors look on. The next segment takes viewers to the architect firm of Eberle M. Smith and Associates (05:06) in Detroit, MI. Architects sketch designs for buildings on paper—in this case a school; other employees of the firm create three dimensional models using cardboard. Tobacco is blended using a rolling conveyer belt at the P. Lorillard Company’s Greensboro, NC plant (07:17). A man operates a machine that shreds tobacco leaves. Rows of machines operated by people on the production floor produce rolled cigarettes (08:30). Finished cigarettes are checked for size and weight, and then they are packaged (09:54). At the Denver headquarters of the Denver-Chicago Trucking Company, former Marquette University basketball player [Lynwood] Terry Rand trains for a new career. Company President Kolowich (12:51) meets with former basketball player trainees. The episode then concludes showing footage from what appears to be men’s college basketball games.

MISSILE GUIDANCE COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR TITAN II ICBM FILM FOOTAGE (SILENT)  49994</video:title><video:description>This silent film was likely a test print of "dailies" for an industrial film about the missile guidance computer for the Titan II ICBM and rocket booster. The film was shot by IBM-Oswego, also known as IBM Federal Systems, which was created in 1957 to handle IBM's military business. This organization later became Lockheed Martin Systems Integration – Owego (LMSI), a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, and also called Lockheed Martin Federal Systems. IBM's contract for Titan I/Titan II was to provide a missile guidance computer (MGC) known as the IBM ASC-15 digital computer. The ASC-15 (Advance System Controller Model 15) was a digital computer developed by International Business Machines (IBM) for use on the Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). It was subsequently modified and used on the Titan III and Saturn I Block II launch vehicles. The ASC-15 was built on an aluminum frame about 1.5x1.5x1 feet. The sides, top and bottom were covered by pieces of laminated plastic, covered with gold-plated aluminum foil. These covers were slightly convex and ribbed for stiffness. Inside the covers were fifty-two logic sticks, each containing four welded encapsulated modules. These surrounded a bell frame housing a drum memory. The drum was a thin-walled stainless steel cylinder 3 inches long and 4.5 inches in diameter covered with a magnetic nickel-cobalt alloy. It was driven by a synchronous motor at 6,000 rpm. The drum had 70 tracks, of which 58 were used and 12 were spare.

Its principal function on these rockets was to make navigation calculations using data from inertial sensor systems. It also performed readiness checks before launch. It was a digital serial processor using fixed-point data with 27-bit words. The storage was a drum memory. Electronic circuits were welded encapsulated modules, consisting of discrete resistors, transistors, capacitors, and other components welded together and encapsulated in a foam material.

The first Titan II guidance system u...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4217faa3-1634-4988-aa67-3ddc51040fc7/3df990a2-7980-46a2-9ac1-8d5e78d0b457-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9ano335BRbBk1ScmpbqxLT</video:player_loc><video:duration>930</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T11:37:19.528Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bQawWxwKL9yRiKoxgqRcnp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0f3b5a4d-77d1-4967-870b-1713214a78fe.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"HERITAGE OF THE USS HORNET"  1970 U.S. NAVY HISTORY FILM   REVOLUTIONARY WAR to WWII  80934</video:title><video:description>Heritage of the Hornet is a short 1970s film from McDonnell Douglas that looks at the heritage of the McDonnell Douglas F-18 Hornet—a heritage that is a history of naval ships, starting with the first Hornet in 1775 up through the eighth Hornet, which was decommissioned in 1970. The film opens with shots of the ocean, waves rolling in and hitting against rocks, and U.S. Navy ships at sea. A plane takes off from an aircraft carrier (01:22). Marines march in full uniform. An aerial view shows a fleet of ships moving on the ocean (02:05). The film shows what appears to be the eighth Hornet, CV-12 (02:30). It then shows a number of illustrations to take viewers through the first six Hornets in U.S. naval history. Illustrations show early U.S. ships, including the first Hornet, a merchant sloop captained by Captain William Stone as part of the fleet under Esek Hopkins. Illustrations show some of the early U.S. Navy ships, pirate vessels, and the second Hornet (06:01). More illustrations represent battles of the Hornet along the Barbary Coast, the third Hornet in engagements, including the battle against the Peacock. The film uses illustrations to depict the fourth Hornet (09:55), scenes from the Civil War including the siege at Fort Sumter, the fifth Hornet (11:41), and the sixth Hornet in 1898 as it fights in the Spanish-American War in the port of Manzanillo. The film then switches to video footage to show viewers the seventh Hornet (14:25), an aircraft carrier that is set out to sea after its commissioning. Footage shows the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor: bombs are dropped, ships are on fire, and American men scramble to remove bombs from damaged planes on the ground. Americans crowd around radios to listen to President Roosevelt’s address (16:10). B-25 bombers wait on the deck of the Hornet (16:20), under the command of Colonel James Doolittle. Bombs are loaded onto the B-25s. The B-25s take off from the Hornet (17:22) as Doolittle watches. The bombers fly at a ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/57b4f677-7835-4b0d-a397-7b21ad2766ad/6d2be37f-4795-4b36-a2a4-20b8d7ec4c09-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bQawWxwKL9yRiKoxgqRcnp</video:player_loc><video:duration>1741</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T11:39:06.153Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8UbATHmHGi9XkACcX3H3xi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8c3b36ab-8092-4647-b806-583ae56094f5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT  C-5A GALAXY FLIGHT TESTS  "TESTING FOR MAXIMUM AIRLIFT"  48644</video:title><video:description>This reel of silent footage was produced by Lockheed aircraft in support of the C-5 Galaxy's on-going flight test and development program. The film begins with images of the prototype C-5A aircraft on its first take-off roll on June 30, 1968. Crew that day included Chief Engineering Test Pilot Leo J. Sullivan and test pilot Walter E. Hensleigh, flight engineer Jerome H. Edwards, and E. Mittendorf, flight test engineer. U.S. Air Force test pilot Lieutenant Colonel Joseph S. Schiele was also on board. The aircraft is shwon landing at 1:50. At 2:30 some of Lockheed's Marietta, Georgia plant is shown where the aircraft was built. At 3;22 a problem with vibration or flutter in the tail is shown. At 3:45 the prototype is shown flying with tattletales on the wings.  At 5:00 landing gear is folder and unfolded as part of flight tests. At 5:30 the prototype lands on a runway, and is seen at 5:51 in rainy conditions. At 8:30 some kind of taxi test is undertaken with the plane sidling up to a marker. At 9:00 cargo tests being with the aircraft nose up in the "load" position. At 9:50 cargo doors open in flight for a drop test. At 13:30 smoke is deployed from the aircraft as part of flight tests. At 14:10 what appear to be stall tests are untaken, likely at Edwards Air Force Base. At 16:33, tail 68307 is shown in Military Airlift Command paint. At 18:30 the U.S. Air Force Climactic Laboratory at Eglin Air Force Base is shown with the plane undergoing arctic weather condition testing. At 20:50 the plane lands in snowy conditions. At 22:00 are beauty shots of the aircraft. At 22:59 the first air-to-air refueling test is conducted. Various shots of the aircraft performing take-off and landing cycles are shown, most appear shot at Edwards AFB.

The plant was originally opened by the Queen in 1956 at the start of a new "Atomic Age." While the plant was ostensibly made to produce electricity, the main reason for building Calder Hall was to make plutonium for the nuclear weapons programme, a fact admitted five years after it was constructed.  The station produced 180 megawatts of heat, most of which was used on site, but 40 megawatts of electricity went into the grid - tiny by comparison with a modern station. Calder Hall was the first of a series of magnox stations, so-called because the fuel cans were made of magnesium alloy. The second one, Chapelcross in Dumfries, was also built for military reasons. Altogether 11 stations, each slightly larger than the last, were eventually built, producing 10% of Britain's electricity. The plant was decommissioned in 2003 but it is expected to take many decades to decontaminate the site.

This is part 1 of 2 parts (see 59994) by Wilding Picture Productions. A 1940s couple is jostled on a roller coaster, and the “Bomber” and parachute rides are shown. A Packard Clipper and 1930s roadster narrowly avoid a collision. To avoid hitting a train, a car veers through a barn and fence. A progression of vehicles span from the 1900s to the 1940s, including a surrey, a 1920s Oldsmobile, a 1920s hood ornament with wings, a 1930s car in which the female passenger is alarmed at the speed the man is driving, to a road of 1940s vehicles and busses (:50-2:18).  An airfield is full of Model 75 Navy biplanes; three fly over. #247 smoothly takes off (2:19-2:55). 1944 Bureau of Aeronautics Technical Note #61-44 is shown. A form on a clipboard is filled out as the Plane Captain inspects #165 (N25-4 #37864). The checklist is shown up-close. The sailor climbs into the cockpit and signs off the inspection. The pilot also signs off, making any notes about the plane’s performance (2:56-5:25). The instructor radios to the pilot in training in the second seat, who pulls his goggles down and adjusts his helmet. The windsock at the control tower is checked. The blocks are removed and the plane guided out. The foot controls are shown to turn right and left. T-7 Avenger taxis with wings up and lowers them (5:26-7:59). The plane becomes airborne. A illustration just shows the wings in flight. The wings rise and lower, and dip to make a turn. Ailerons are added to the illustration and moved to bank before being return to neutral (8:00-10:48). Elevators are added to the illustration and tilted to show their effect on the wings to move up or down.  The fuselage is layered back on to the illustration, as is the rudder (10:49-11:30). The trainer Model 75 is shown from the pilot’s viewpoint. The stick is pulled back, pushed forward, and turned from side to side to show the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8bdcd1ad-168d-46cb-8a9c-d201b9d82746/5b31405f-cc1c-463a-a087-5e03f0b7715b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/igH4A8UTBUN4npcAoKmGj3</video:player_loc><video:duration>846</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T11:48:24.825Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gLy3eHmukGjpsBZkyqtUFt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f9865593-6635-4b4e-b2a2-2e21dca80598.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"COMMUNIST ACCENT ON YOUTH"  1961 CRISIS FOR AMERICANS ANTI-COMMUNIST DOCUMENTARY   COLD WAR  48564</video:title><video:description>Created in 1961 by Pepperdine College, "Crisis for Americans: Communist Accent on Youth" was one of a four-part, Hollywood-produced film series. This episode describes the philosophies of socialist communism and how they contrast with those of a free republic. All the films in the series utilized newsreel footage and scripted narration, and each film sought to expose the threat of Soviet-based communism to capitalism and free societies around the globe. In turn, the films describe how communism preys on susceptible youth (Communist Accent on Youth, 1961), spreads through violent aggression (Communist Imperialism, 1962), and cloaks itself behind the discourse of “peaceful coexistence” (Communism and Coexistence, 1963). The fourth film, The Questions and the Answers (1965), argues for the necessity of congressional investigations that root out communist activities within the United States. Straddling the period of the Cuban Missile Crisis, these films offer an excellent example of the anti-communist discourse typical of this critical moment in Cold War history. William J. Teague, Vice President of Pepperdine College, spearheaded the Crisis for Americans film series, and appeared in three of the four films. Doyle T. Swain, Pepperdine’s director of business relations, was, like Teague, a staunch opponent of communism, and served as consultant on the films. Through the films, Pepperdine officials hoped to emphasize the important role of education in combating communist ideology and propaganda. The film series was the most far-reaching of Pepperdine’s greater efforts to fight communism, which included a weekly Speaker’s Bureau, the annual California Freedom Forum, and citizen education and teacher training programs. Pepperdine sold and distributed hundreds of copies of the films, which also appeared as television broadcasts across the nation. Although the original plan called for at least a dozen titles, Pepperdine officials felt satisfied with the series after the fou...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7fb18cdc-c111-463a-97fa-f92f7e3b2439/d94dff70-1a10-4e13-8be8-d1510d131754-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gLy3eHmukGjpsBZkyqtUFt</video:player_loc><video:duration>1973</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T11:53:29.523Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3QoGwPQKVFvfwPpG3sDvTK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/60350f2b-09aa-4840-b185-94ceb2804bb1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1945 US NAVY TRAINING FILM  PT-17 BOEING-STEARMAN MODEL 75 BIPLANE "FIRST FLIGHT" PART 2 59994</video:title><video:description>This 1945 U.S. Navy black-and-white training film MN 3474e is part of a series of films on primary flight training. This is part 2 of 2 parts (see 59984) by Wilding Picture Productions. The Model 75 trainer biplane continues with its instructor and pilot in training. The sticks are shown in movement to find a smooth path of air. Both men remove their hands from the sticks and their feet from the rudder pedals to illustrate this. The plane is held level to the horizon, shown from the pilot’s view (:20-2:07). A instructor in a classroom demonstrates peripheral vision, used in flight to be aware of the nose and wing positions. The engine is shown to listen to for the plane’s smooth noise. Stick movements to maintain the plane at a level altitude are shown (2:08-4:05). The illustration shows banking in a circle; a speedboat banks in the water.  Use of just the rudder shows little effect until the proper banking is in place using the ailerons. Stick positions are shown for these maneuvers (4:06-6:55). The pilot-in-training over-uses the stick and the plane moves erratically through the sky. He relaxes his grip and the plane moves back in a level position (6:56-7:40).  A good balanced turn is shown from the pilot’s point-of-view. The turn is shown as footage of the plane from the top down. A 1940s automobile makes a sharp turn and a more rounded turn, shown from the outside and from the driver’s point-of-view. (Hands spin the double-looped steering wheel (Ford?) and the dashboard can be seen.)  The same course is plotted out in animation for the plane, which then executes the turn, as seen from above (7:41-12:40).

The operation involved 84 naval ships and 28,000 Marines of the 2nd Marine Division, and was commanded by Vice Admiral John S. McCain, Jr.. In the opening hour of the landing, two helicopters collided in mid-air, resulting in the deaths of nine Marines and causing injuries to 13 others. Another Marine was crushed to death by a tank while asleep in his sleeping bag. During the trip over the ships were divided into three convoys sailing under war time conditions with ASW escorts. There were many civilian ships contracted to the Navy to transport military personnel and cargo to the landing area. Once the ships were anchored in place the landings began. There were two or three days of landing men and equipment ashore, then one day of rest for the landing craft. After that, the task force started back loading men and equipment onto the ships. When it was finished, the ships departed for liberty to different ports.

The Ch-34 helicopter is seen in many parts of the film.  The Sikorsky H-34 (company designation S-58) is a piston-engined military helicopter originally designed by American aircraft manufacturer Sikorsky as an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft for the United States Navy.

H-34s served, mostly as medium transports, on every continent with the armed forces of twenty-five countries. It saw combat in Algeria, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and throughout Southeast Asia; other uses included saving flood victims, recovering astronauts, fighting fires, and carrying presidents.

The famed aviator is greeted by South Hampton Mayor Mrs. Lucia Foster Welch. Earhart is cheered on by supporters upon her arrival in New York City and is escorted by ticker-tape parade guru Grover Whalen. Acting Mayor Joseph McKee welcomes Earhart.

Earhart is celebrated in 1932 with a New York ticker tape parade; she is shown standing with Mayor Jimmy Walker. The segment on Earhart wraps up with footage of her preparing to land in Oakland, CA after the lengthy flight from Weber Field, Hawaii. The next segment shows German Hans Swoboda displaying his model of the Cologne Cathedral in New York City in 1930; the model is made entirely out of match sticks.

It's not entirely clear what the abbreviation "B.R." stood for, but these are clearly multiple artillery rocket launchers similar in some ways to the Russian Katyusha system. According to a website, the type 36 rocket launcher could be easily installed on a Jeep and featured armored plating to protect the driver. This plating can be seen in the footage at 1:10. At 1:30 slow motion footage shows the system in action while at 2:00 the effects of the firing are shown downrange. At 2:30 something similar to the U.S. M8 barrage rocket is shown, again mounted on a Jeep. Firing is again shown in normal speed (3:18) and then slo-mo (3:49). (This Jeep lacks the armor plating and the firing kicks up considerable debris.) At 4:54 small racks of rockets are shown being test fired. At 6:28 infantry portable rocket launchers are shown, probably again with M8 rockets which are fired by troops adjacent to the launcher. At 6:50 the rockets detonate with considerable effect downrange.

Watkins Glen International (nicknamed "The Glen") is an automobile race track located in Watkins Glen, New York, at the southern tip of Seneca Lake. It was long known around the world as the home of the Formula One United States Grand Prix, which it hosted for twenty consecutive years (1961–1980), but the site has been home to road racing of nearly every class, including the World Sportscar Championship, Trans-Am, Can-Am, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the International Motor Sports Association and the IndyCar Series.

Initially, public roads in the village were used for the race course. In 1956 a permanent circuit for the race was built. In 1968 the race was extended to six hours, becoming the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen. The circuit's current layout has more or less been the same since 1971, although a chicane was installed at the uphill Esses in ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/552d7cf9-15bd-47d3-9f63-94bedaff1aae/3ef32a8c-be90-430e-acbc-333bbbd716d0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bw3UjCnKhaaHyi7Gbse7sb</video:player_loc><video:duration>1485</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T12:04:03.104Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tk68fxfJNyDBiJRyzd7ove</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ba203e70-10d9-4bba-8d3c-f3b593e079a3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAYS NEWSREEL 20TH CENTURY   LONG RANGE U.S. SUBMARINES   "STRONG MAN" HARRY LUCK  62414a</video:title><video:description>This Yesterday’s Newsreel film (episode 135) offers the viewer “television highlights of the news of yesteryear” by providing vintage clips of famous people and events from the first half of the 20th century.

A title card at the 3 minute mark indicates the date as March, 1967 and another set of cards are dated March and April 1968, so one can imagine the film was shot roughly in that period. The film begins with shots of the massive earthen embankment being worked on by bulldozers and graders (:34). At 1:13 wildlife is shown in the Feather River. At 1:45 the base of a spillway is shown. At 1:58 are more views of the construction site. Wells are seen as well as earthmoving equipment. ) The embankment was finally topped out on October 6, 1967, with the last of 155 million tons (140.6 million t) of material that took over 40,000 train trips to transport.One of these trains is visible at the 3:58 mark. At 4:29 a sign explains the Oroville Dam project. At 5:51 a highway bridge is shown, likely the North Fork Feather River Bridge. At 6;12 it is now 1968, and the project is completed. At 3:08 the new Bidwell Bar Suspension Bridge is shown. At the time of its completion, it was the 3rd highest bridge in the world after the Royal Gorge suspension and Glen Canyon Dam arch bridges.

Oroville Dam is an earthfill embankment dam on the Feather River east of the city of Oroville, California, in the Sierra Nevada foothills east of the Sacramento Valley. At 770 feet (235 m) high, it is the tallest dam in the U.S and serves mainly for water supply, hydroelectricity generation and flood control. The dam impounds Lake Oroville, the second largest man-made lake in the state of California, capable of storing more than 3.5 million acre feet (1.1 trillion US gallons; 4.3 trillion litres)

Built by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), Oroville Dam is one of the key features of the California State Water Project (SWP), one of two major projects passed that set up California's statewide water system. Construction was initiated in 1961, and despite numerous difficu...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/58cf08f4-3d59-4262-8502-6626cbaad694/eb220e34-034e-42bd-882f-29d40b7f9be6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bY4eYhz3X7AHc6tXSZPEKo</video:player_loc><video:duration>618</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T12:13:01.642Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/24xHCPuMYig3i1f2NqyyS4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4253bfdb-a108-4a82-a2bc-58aec0c4996b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>INDUSTRY ON PARADE  SUN OIL CO. REFINERY    AMUSEMENT PARK RIDES   CLASS RINGS  63244a</video:title><video:description>“Industry On Parade was a television series created by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) from 1950-1960. The series consisted of weekly episodes that highlighted American manufacturing and business. Hundreds of companies and products were documented during the [program’s] decade-long run.”

This film is a collection of three episodes from the series (episodes 202, 109, and 219). Episode 202 begins with women at Philadelphia’s Sun Oil Company receiving stock in the company. The film shows the company’s waterside oil refinery (01:05) and potential outcomes of employees receiving the stocks: a young couple look at the construction of their new home (02:15); a boy and his older sister sit on a porch (02:32) as the children’s father talks to the girl about funding her education. The episode’s next segment features the DIY fur-making trend from furrier Harry Jay Treu. Men sort mink pelts (03:40); Treu sews strips of mink fur together in the letting-out technique (04:44). He shapes the strips together in a pattern that is sent to consumers as part of the DIY product. At a home, a woman transforms the fur pattern into a shawl. The episode then takes viewers to the Indianapolis factory of the Herff-Jones Company where class rings are made. A die maker studies a cast for a class ring (08:30). He matches up ring halves then rounds them (09:13). A woman enamels a ring by hand. Men add gems to the rings (09:51), which are then polished. The final segment of this episode features the manufacturing of amusement park rides by Everly Aircraft Company of Salem, OR. The episode shows viewers rides at an L.A. amusement park, then shows men of Everly Aircraft inspecting racer cars, a rock-o-plane ride carriage, and experimenting with a scaled-down version of a tea-cup ride.

The second episode begins with showing viewers the production of power shovels at the Marion Power Shovel Company in Marion, OH. A massive power shovel moves earth at a coal strip mine.

NATIONAL PARKS, MONUMENTS &amp; MEMORIALS in COLOR   ARCHES TO ZION  (SILENT FILMS) 53074</video:title><video:description>In the aftermath of WWII, photographer Harold Jenkins started a company called "World in Color" productions. Jenkins' plan was to sell 16mm and 8mm movies to the public, many of whom owned film projectors. Among the company's films were a series of girlie movies and swimsuit films — several of which featured the famous Blue Book Models. (In fact, one of Jenkins' collaborators was the first cameraman to film a young Marilyn Monroe!) This reel shows some of the company's more conventional offerings -- simple, short and beautiful-looking silent films that were sold at the nation's National Parks. Tourists would then cut these films into their own home movies to provide a bit more entertainment on a Saturday night. The movies may have proved popular at first, but the arrival of television in many homes doomed "World in Color" and the company folded by the 1950s.

Featured on this video is most if not all of the "World in Color" tourist films, including U.S. National Parks, Monuments, and Memorials, as well as privately owned and undesignated (at the time) scenic areas. They include the following:

EDUCATIONAL TV  66804c</video:title><video:description>This black and white film is one of a 1950-1960 television series Industry on Parade, produced by the National Association of Manufacturers. It contains four segments. “Kentucky.” The American Air Filter Company in Louisville is shown as an office full of desks and workers. The air is cleaned through a glass fiber filter mounted like a paper towel roll. The dirty section is pulled down to expose a new clean section. A worker shovels from a tall pile of glass cullet, obtained from automobile window factories. It is dried, melted, and formed into strands of glass thread, shown on giant rolls. When thick enough, it is pulled off in a sheet, stretched by hand, heat treated, and cut to size (:38-3:05). To make air filters, the frames are made from waste paper board and the metal grids are scrap from a bottle cap factory. The fiberglass is cut to size and manually inserted into the frame. A label is hand-applied. A very long air filter is inserted at a hospital and smaller ones in the attic of a house by a woman wearing a 1950s head scarf. Children in 1950s clothing sit and play with metal cars and trucks (3:06-4:56). “Pennsylvania.”  At the Midland Works Crucible Steel Company of America, Ronn straddle carriers and forklifts are used to move and stack heavy steel beams (4:57-7:33). “Connecticut.” Women workers at Waterman Pen Company in Seymour handle ink cartridges for fountain pens as they move on a conveyer. Another group hand-assembles the many parts that make up a fountain pen. The pen point, ink reservoir, and feed are heat molded together. The proper tension is put on the tines of the pen point by hand. Each pen is tested without and with the ink cartridge. Researchers are shown in its laboratory testing new inks. Writing machines test the life of an ink cartridge. Women package the final product of pen and cartridges into a boxed set on a moving conveyer (7:34-10:39).  “Michigan.” A radio engineer uses a screwdriver, a stenographer wears a 1950s dress with lar...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/48b1895c-080f-451d-a0ac-1d2102ac8dca/2453fc48-fa70-4345-bc42-ec48cf8f4bc9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9YCXyCcdskFQHAsxbvZviC</video:player_loc><video:duration>793</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T12:32:31.250Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mYddq4t5NF8jn1WSXtF89L</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f97d15c9-d641-4e79-8cf1-1b6c578110f9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BUILDING A TANK  WWII M-3 MEDIUM TANK PRODUCTION  DETROIT TANK ARSENAL &amp; FORT KNOX</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This film is about American tank production and shows work at the Detroit Tank Arsenal in the 1941-1942 era. A shorter version of this film was released narrated by Orsen Welles.The film details the manufacture and use of M-3 medium tanks. Tanks are assembled and treads, motors, guns, and turrets are put in place at a factory. Shows stock of many parts required. At the end of the film, tanks stage an attack at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Detroit Arsenal (DTA), formerly Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant (DATP) was the first manufacturing plant ever built for the mass production of tanks in the United States. Established in 1940 under Chrysler, this plant was owned and managed by the U.S. government until 1952 when management of the facility was turned over to the Chrysler Corporation. This plant was owned by the U.S. government until 1996 . It was designed by architect Albert Kahn. The building was designed originally as a "dual production facility, so that it could make armaments and be turned into peaceful production at war's end. Notwithstanding its name, the 113-acre (0.46 km2) site was located in Warren, Michigan, Detroit's largest suburb.

Chrysler's construction effort at the plant in 1941 was one of the fastest on record. The first tanks rumbled out of the plant before its complete construction.During World War II, the Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant built a quarter of the 89,568 tanks produced in the U.S. overall. The Korean War boosted production for the first time since World War II had ended; the government would suspend tank production after each war. In May 1952, Chrysler resumed control from the army, which had been unable to ramp up production.

This episode of Expedition! was originally broadcast February 14, 1961. The episode covered Operation Sandblast: the underwater circumnavigation of the globe by the US Navy first-generation nuclear-powered submarine USS Triton, starting February 24, 1960 and ending April 25, 1960. The trip covered 26,723 nautical miles (49,491 km) in 60 days and 21 hours, crossing the equator on four different occasions.

Operation Sandblast was the code name for the first submerged circumnavigation of the world, executed by the United States Navy nuclear-powered radar picket submarine USS Triton (SSRN-586) in 1960 under the command of Captain Edward L. Beach. The New York Times described Triton's submerged circumnavigation of the Earth as "a triumph of human prowess and engineering skill, a feat which the United States Navy can rank as one of its bright victories in man's ultimate conquest of the seas."

The circumnavigation took place between 24 February and 25 April 1960, covering 26,723 nautical miles (49,491 km; 30,752 mi) over 60 days and 21 hours. The route began and ended at the St. Peter and Paul Rocks in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean near the Equator. During the voyage, Triton crossed the Equator four times while maintaining an average speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph). Triton's overall navigational track during Operation Sandblast generally followed that of the first circumnavigation of the world, led by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan from 1519 to 1522.

The initial impetus for Operation Sandblast was to increase American technological and scientific prestige before the May 1960 Paris Summit between U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. It also provided a high-profile public demonstration of the capability of U.S. Navy nuclear-powered submarines to carry out long-range submerged operations independent of external sup...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e9f1053f-25a6-4889-a3fa-1e4f2a46037e/b5e28da4-a128-46a8-8a88-15327855326f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uTvxqqhoNccgdTfudhyhvL</video:player_loc><video:duration>1491</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T12:34:56.964Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jUFmNWv9X3MgbnGFugD9Xv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/54dc44f1-8866-4c38-828f-abb8ba46c020.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NEWS PARADE OF 1939    SPANISH CIVIL WAR ENDS, USS SQUALUS SINKS, GERMANY INVADES POLAND  42434</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This wonderful sound news parade from 1939 shows the important news of that year -- the year WWII began!  Some of the other news events included Franco's victory in the Spanish Civil War, Pan Am's new Boeing 314 Clippers initiating trans-Atlantic service, King George and Queen Elizabeth return to London from their North American trip,  Franco-British Unity at Bastille Day (2:11) in Paris, terrible earthquake in Chile, and more. At 3:45 the rescue of the submarine USS Squalus, SS-192, is shown. The submarine sank after a training accident off the coast of New England.  The salvage and support vessel USS Falcon came to the rescue, along with submarine rescue innovator Charles Momsen, whose highly-trained crew saved precious lives using a rescue diving bell.

At 5:08 the Tienstein Foreign Settlement in China is threatened by the Japanese. The Tientsin incident was an international incident created by a blockade by the Imperial Japanese Army's Japanese Northern China Area Army of the British settlements in the north China treaty port of Tientsin in June 1939. Originating as a minor administrative dispute, it escalated into a major diplomatic incident. 

At 5:46 floods inundate China. At 6:12 a mass wedding is shown in Montreal. At 6:47 the German invasion of Poland is shown with Warsaw being bombed. At 7:50 a grain elevator fire is shown in Chicago. At 8:30 U.S. cruisers are shown roving across the tip of South America and Cape Horn.

The risque nature of the exhibit is a bit dumbfounding to a modern audience, as it features a "nudist colony" and "live model" art class. However most of these appear to be sight gags of one kind or another. One sight that is something to behold is Sally Rand, who performs her famous fan dance at the exhibit. Supposedly this was one of Rand's first gigs, as the unemployed actress had sought a way to make a living and a "big splash." This one was heard round the world! Rand was later arrested and put on trial for indecency. Rand made the Streets of Paris one of the most profitable concessions at the fair.

As you can see, "Streets of Paris" reproduced streets of the Montmartre quarter, with a background of old walls and small cafes. According to a publicity brochure, it featured "seven novelty entertainments of the art student type. Cigarette girls, flower girls and other Parisian types add to the effect. In a special building is an exhibit of French wines and liqueurs..."

The film opens with aerial footage of a blimp flying in the night sky and shining a light below, while people look up at the flying object. The two Goodyear blimps fly over the horizon at the company’s headquarters at Wingfoot Lake, near Akron, OH (02:04). The Columbia (a GZ-20 class model N4A) and Mayflower (a GZ-19 class model N38A) fly over various landscapes in the U.S., passing over highways, cities, farmlands, and beaches. The film shows a maintenance crew preparing one of the blimps for flight. The blimps are shown at events where they provide aerial coverage, including a football bowl game, a yacht race, a golf tournament, and a car race. The film shows aerial views of various cities (05:05), as well as people climbing aboard for a ride. The Columbia and Mayflower (06:50) move in to land at Wingfoot Lake (06:50). The film then shows the blimps built by Goodyear and used during World War II. A U.S. Navy blimp takes off; the military blimps escort ships sailing at sea. ZPG3W class blimps used by the Navy wait in a warehouse (07:36). Jets fly overhead, as does a Goodyear blimp. A pilot in one of the blimps radios to a Goodyear crew on the ground to prepare for landing (08:40); the blimp is tethered down during the landing. A Goodyear truck arrives, and footage shows the crew breaking down the blimp and hauling it away at the end of its “season.”

The Goodyear Blimp is any one of a fleet of airships operated by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, used mainly for advertising and capturing aerial views of live sporting events for television. The term blimp itself is defined as a non-rigid airship – without any internal structure, the pressure of lifting gas contained within the airship envelope maintains the vessel's shape.

The film “has been carefully designed to teach exactly what it is that makes a movie interesting and enjoyable to an audience. It teaches technique, the ‘art’ of using the camera.” In this second part of the film, viewers learn about three more techniques, then they see them all applied in a silent short to conclude the educational film. “Lesson #6: Newsreel Technique” shows how to film an event for a newsreel (00:25). A man sets up a camera at the Mt. Vernon baseball field; footage includes shots of baseball players pitching, batting, running the bases, as well as shots of the crowd, a group of three children watching the game while eating popcorn and drinking soda, and other cutaway scenes such as scoreboard updates. In “Lesson #7: Build-Up” (03:43), a cameraman looks at film reels as his son looks on. The cameraman then films a build-up using his son writing a letter. The letter writing is spliced with footage of what the boy did during summer vacation: the boy and his dog relax at a cabin, the boy swims in a lake and fishes upstream above a waterfall, and, lastly, visits a fair where he rides a rocket ship ride, a boat ride, and enjoys an ice cream cone. The next lesson is on composition, and a cameraman scans his subject looking through his finder, framing the picture of a road next to a field. There is a shot of foliage in the foreground with city in the background (08:08); a trolley passes under an arch. The film shows scenes with and without foreground composition to demonstrate the difference. These shots include footage of New York City (08:58), a train engine passing by on a track, a farm, a college campus, and statues. The final lesson is on indoor lighting. A woman sits on a couch as a man checks the lighting (a type of lighting called flat lighting). The film then shows backlighting technique as a man sits with woma...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b8046ea9-c780-475b-9f0c-f8557eb44271/9ad8bdd5-19ec-46d7-b6c6-dfe1529417ba-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oHWZgBiotxmSUpQBLReB6c</video:player_loc><video:duration>1010</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T12:55:38.684Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uAtqbUsLAFQHPd8JYQPpP2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/14b13641-0ef3-46c8-b3a1-ac05cdd20d4b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" CONNECTICUT CALLING "  1960s TRAVELOGUE  HARTFORD, STRATFORD, NEW LONDON, MYSTIC SEAPORT 90224</video:title><video:description>This 1960s color educational film about Connecticut as part of the weekly TV series “America!” that was narrated by actor Jack Douglas.

The film focuses on first hand accounts by POWs who describe their methods of resistance, maintaining mental toughness,  and most incredibly the innovative communication techniques they developed and used while held captive. The circa 1973 picture opens with General John P. Flynn (mark  00:20), who spent five years as a POW in North Vietnam, as he explains how returnees want to share their stories.  Flynn informs the viewer (starting at mark 01:20) how the North Vietnamese tried to obtain military information from the captives, to exploit them politically, and to maintain a punishing environment that included torture and mistreatment. To combat the tactics, Flynn notes at mark 02:05 that prisoners relied on their own integrity, the military code of conduct, and covert communication — which he describes as the prisoner’s lifeblood. With that introduction, the film begins in earnest at mark 03:05 with scenes of airmen returning to the United States after having been held captive in Hanoi, some for more than 8 years. Dramatized scenes continue of prisoners in their cells as the narrator recounts the common thoughts of the POWs after they’re captured. A prisoner is questioned about his mission at mark 05:15 and threatened via intimidation. The film’s narrator, Col. Raymond Merritt (who also was a POW) explains at mark 07:45 how prisoners longed for human contact and the inability to communicate with others was an effective torture tool. Prisoners used their ingenuity, Merritt explained, to create a covert communication network to save their sanity. The network was used in such camps as How Lo Prison (aka Hanoi Hilton), shown at mark 13:18. Dramatized re-enactments starting at mark 14:30 show how the communication worked as POWs with the “tap code” demonstrated starting at mark 16:16. In addition to tappin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c7e64a5b-9c3c-4f20-b150-def618286749/995ecd16-bf9c-482a-95a0-8b21dd70ff74-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qFGuFjRqc4p9c1kgx3ZPwZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>2747</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T13:30:04.387Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/e7EzDwEdm5YUhZSf3oFFKn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/784fc16e-554a-4acb-a529-9e3f0304dd2c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAYS NEWSREEL 20TH CENTURY   SPANISH CIVIL WAR  WRIGHT DRAGONFLY PLANE  ALBERT EINSTEIN 61114</video:title><video:description>This Yesterday’s Newsreel film (episode 19) offers the viewer “television highlights of the news of yesteryear” by providing vintage clips of famous people and events from the first half of the 20th Century.

Apparently the camp shown is Songadeewin of Willoughby, one of the Keewaydin camps that was privately owned, and located on Lake Willoughby in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. 

You'll see swimming, boating and other activities. At 3:40 a large party of armed men appear poised to go on a game hunt. Around 3:50 a large mansion is seen; this building is also shown at 4:40. It's possibly a hotel given its vast size. 

At 8:50 what appears to be a graduation ceremony or confirmation for young women is seen. At 14:40 more modern footage is shown dating likely to the 1950s of girls graduating. 

Keewaydin Canoe Camp is one of the oldest summer camps in North America; well over a hundred years old. Keewaydin completed its first season in 1893 in the backwoods of northern Maine, under the alias Camp Kah Kou. The camp's first basecamp was on Lac Cacaumagomoc near the headwaters of the Allagash River. In 1901, the camp's owners changed the name to "Keewaydin" and opened two separate camps in Vermont and Ontario. Founder A.S. Gregg Clarke moved Keewaydin to Devil Island on Lake Temagami in the Canadian Province of Ontario. Another camp was created on the shores of Lake Dunmore in the State of Vermont. Keewaydin Dunmore emphasized basecamp activities, while Temagami continued to outfit exploratory canoe expeditions throughout the Canadian Provinces.

In 2001, Keewaydin Temagami and Keewaydin Dunmore were united under the same non-profit organization, known as the Keewaydin Foundation.

Both Keewaydin Temagami and Keewaydin Dunmore launched their first girls' programs in 1999, both named Songadeewin. On Lake Temagami, Songadeewin is a part of Keewaydin, whereas on Lake Dunmore, Songadeewin is its own camp. Although Keewaydin Temagami is now co-ed, sections are not co-ed.

The film opens with a teenager talking to his neighbor. The neighbor, race car driver Johnnie Parsons, sits in his car while talking with the boy. At the Indianapolis raceway, Parsons sits in his racecar (00:45) gearing up for a second win at the 40th Indianapolis 500. Parsons flies around the racetrack during qualifiers. The film shows other drivers and racecars moving out onto the track and trying to qualify for the race. The film then shows some of the precautions taken by the speedway: a man takes a vision test and has his reflexes tested; drivers walk along the track and talk about their experiences and give advice to each other. A parade marches at the racetrack (04:12), and the last spectators arrive and fill the stands. The racecars follow the pace car prior to start of the race (04:50). The race begins and cars fly around the first turn. Pat O’Conner takes the lead to start the race. Pat Flaherty and Paul Russo soon challenge O’Connor for the lead. Russo driving his number 29 car keeps up an incredibly fast pace until his tire blows and his car spins out (07:26).

The film opens with the module resting atop a Saturn 1B launch vehicle. At mark 01:18, the viewer is told that this very rocket was originally designed to be used a year earlier and launch the crew of Apollo 1 — Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Edward H. White, and Roger Chaffee — into a low Earth orbital flight, but the January 27, 1967 cabin fire that killed all three astronauts left the Saturn 1B standing at on Pad 37 at the months passed. At mark 01:50, the viewer is shown Mission Control in Houston, and introduced to astronauts Jim McDivitt and Rusty Schweickart (who along with Dave Scott performed the first manned flight of a LM as part of Apollo 9 in March 1969). Astronauts Frank Borman and Bill Anders are introduced at mark 02:00 — Borman, Anders, and Jim Lovell were the crew of Apollo 8, the first manned spacecraft to leave Earth orbit in December 1968.

“Apollo 5 is one of the most complex space missions ever flown. It has been compared to taking a brand new design airplane with brand new design engines, and flying it from New York to Los Angeles by remote control,” the narrator states at mark 02:25, emphasizing the overwhelming complexity of the mission and its importance — determining whether the spacecraft is safe for man.

At mark 03:10, Anders provides the viewer with an explanation of the lunar module and its main job — to successfully land on the moon’s surface and then return the crew to the Command Service Module in lunar orbit. “The LM is really the taxi that provides the transportation between the orbiting Command Module and the lunar surface,” Borman adds at mark 03:58.

Apollo 8 was the second manned spaceflight, with a three-man crew consisting of Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders. The men were the first to leave low Earth orbit and the first to orbit the moon. The news release opens with the three astronauts standing in their spacesuits prior to launch. Saturn V stands ready to launch at the Kennedy Space Center (01:08). Viewers see the rocket engines being fired during what appears to be a testing phase, as well as the Apollo 8 spacecraft being tested by NASA engineers. There are shots of the lunar surface (02:37), and the Apollo 8 crew look at maps, star charts, and answer questions (03:40). Borman discusses the upcoming mission and his confidence in the booster and vehicle. Graphics are used to show the mission’s flight course; the lunar module breaks away from the main stage vehicle. At a press conference, Lovell and Anders explain what their respective jobs are while orbiting the moon (05:40). Illustrations and animations show the remaining trajectory of the spacecraft, including its landing. A Navy crew recovers a returned spacecraft from the ocean or participates in a recovery training (08:10).

Apollo 8, the second manned spaceflight mission in the United States Apollo space program, was launched on December 21, 1968, and became the first manned spacecraft to leave low Earth orbit, reach the Earth's Moon, orbit it and return safely to Earth. The three-astronaut crew — Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders — became the first humans to travel beyond low Earth orbit; see Earth as a whole planet; enter the gravity well of another celestial body (Earth's moon); orbit another celestial body (Earth's moon); directly see the far side of the Moon with their own eyes; witness an Ea...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c242e37e-aa95-495c-b3da-2521e7610837/5d550fb7-4916-4865-bac2-d075930901a0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pZjkVwqebqsdnGNwyZiHTM</video:player_loc><video:duration>537</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T14:26:47.135Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5a56vTqA3MBGWH4KC2CT1L</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6d20fa60-209f-40cf-9f89-f8c40cde1e0c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GLAMOROUS EXCITING STARS  CLASSIC 1940s GIRLIE / SWIMSUIT FILM  63004a</video:title><video:description>Released by Harold F. Jenkins, whose HFJ Productions aka "World in Color Productions" was a going concern in the mid-1940s, "Glamorous Exciting Stars" is a short, silent girlie film that titillates and teases but shows nothing too shocking. While other film companies produced stag type films, Jenkins' company released tamer fare such as this piece of celluloid which starts with a burlesque dance complete with pasties, and then goes on to show a starlet playing tennis, and a woman dressed in lingerie taking off her shoe (but nothing else). Such were the seductive impulses of this innocent era!

A duodenal ulcer is a peptic ulcer that develops in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). For patients suffering from stomach cancer or other problems like ulcers and bleeding, gastric surgery (resection of the stomach) is often a recommended course of treatment. Sometimes just a part of the stomach needs to be removed, but if needed, the entire stomach can be removed.

This event was held from 25 February to 6 March 1986 in Moscow. This was the first congress presided over by Mikhail Gorbachev as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU. In accordance with the pattern set 20 years earlier by Leonid Brezhnev, the congress occurred five years after the previous CPSU Congress. Much had changed in those five years. Key figures of Soviet politics, Mikhail Suslov, Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, Dmitriy Ustinov, and Konstantin Chernenko had died, and Mikhail Gorbachev had become General Secretary of the Party. For this reason the congress was widely anticipated, both at home and abroad, as an indicator of Gorbachev's new policies and directions. The congress was attended by 4993 delegates. It elected the 27th Central Committee.  This Congress became the penultimate in the history of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

The agenda of the congress included the following:

CC CPSU Report and the Party objectives (Given by Mikhail Gorbachev)
New Party Statute release
Political report of CC CPSU
CPSU Central Revisional Commission report
Report About the economic and social development of the USSR on 1986-1990 and in 2000 perspective
Elections of the central Party organs

The film was released by Eastman Classroom Films and shown in schos around the United States. Some scenes from the film were apparently created specifically for this film, others such as Washington crossing the Delaware River were drawn from feature films made in that era. 

In this episode "Uniting the Colonies", Washington is shown working as a British military officer, trying to bring discipline to pioneer troops and peace to the frontier.  He urges colonial governors to act against the French. Washington is also shown being invited to meet his future wife Martha Custis. Washington is elected to the House of Burgesses after his success on the frontier. Soon the mood in the colonies sours against British control due to taxation and Washington and his compatriots plot independence. The film ends with images of Paul Revere's ride and skirmishes at Lexington and Concord, and Washington declares he will equip 1000 men and lead them to Boston to form a Continental Army.

ARMY DAY PARADE &amp; CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL  52284</video:title><video:description>This silent home movie likely dates to the late 1940s, probably 1948, and shows Army Day at Bolling Field in Washington, D.C. as well as the Cherry Blossom Festival. (1948 is a fairly safe bet as in 1949 "Army Day" was eliminated in favor of Armed Forces Day by the Secretary of Defense). The film stars with shots of Washington from the Washington Monument. At 1:06 are shots from within the upper part of the rotunda of the Capitol Building. Coverage of Army Day at Bolling Field begins at 4:00. Interestingly, whoever shot this footage was able to get an airplane ride as at 7:20 you will see aerial footage. Also of note, one of the early U.S. jets, a Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star, is seen on the ramp at Bolling at 7:00. At 11:44 the Army Day parade is shown, with police on motorcycles leading the way followed by bands and various Army units including halftracks, jeeps and armored cars.  The Cherry Blossom Festival begins at 16:30. This section of the film shows the area around the tidal basin and has a canoe race at 21:19. At 22:00 a large crowd gathers for the crowning of the Cheery Blossom Queen.

This incredible film uses footage from Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will" and other speeches by Hitler and other Nazi leaders, and replaces normal translations with bombastic, over-the-top confessions. Various leaders including Hitler, Goebbels, Göering, Streicher and Hess bare their terrible sins and character flaws as frankly as if they were victims of one a  'confession drug'. These candid autobiographical accounts of evil motives and actions, are damning indeed.

This film is almost unique in British Second World War film propaganda. Whereas many other films from this era stress the importance of those qualities of British life that would be destroyed if the Germans invaded, this film attacks the evils that the Nazis represented. The result is a powerful denunciation of the Nazi leadership.

The film was presented by the Ministry of Information ; devised and compiled by Alan Osbiston and Dylan Thomas, and produced by Donald Taylor.

The film begins with a map of Java, Sumatra, Borneo and the Malay Peninsula. At 1:34 the ruins at Borobudur are shown. This is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple in Magelang Regency, not far from the town of Muntilan, in Central Java, Indonesia. It is the world's largest Buddhist temple.The temple consists of nine stacked platforms, six square and three circular, topped by a central dome. It is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. The central dome is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa.Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Sailendra Dynasty, the temple design follows Javanese Buddhist architecture, which blends the Indonesian indigenous cult of ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana. The temple demonstrates the influences of Gupta art that reflects India's influence on the region, yet there are enough indigenous scenes and elements incorporated to make Borobudur uniquely Indonesian. The monument is a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The pilgrim journey begins at the base of the monument and follows a path around the monument, ascending to the top through three levels symbolic of Buddhist cosmology: Kāmadhātu (the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu (the world of formlessness). The monument guides pilgrims through an extensive system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the walls and the balustrades. Borobudur has one of the largest and most complete ensembles of Buddhist reliefs in the world.

Here, a ship detects an unidentified surface contact and promptly goes to General Quarters to prepare for battle. The film explains the roles of various stations involved in the main battery fire control system, including the conning tower, combat information center, control forward and aft, spotting stations, and turrets. As the ship maneuvers toward the enemy, all stations report ready and a surface target—a cruiser—is identified. The main battery fire control is set up for coordinated firing, with continuous tracking, target ranging, and ammunition loading underway. Turret crews align their sights using data from the plotting room, and firing commences with adjustments made after an initial misfire. Spotting teams analyze shell impacts and correct aim, shifting to rapid salvo fire to maintain pressure on the target. After successful hits and confirmation from radar, the target is destroyed, and the ship secures from General Quarters, having demonstrated effective teamwork and fire control procedures throughout the engagement.

This film shows a halftime show likely from the 1950s, with the band making a variety of formations on the football field before finally spelling out "U A" at the finale.

Jack K. Lee was born in Akron, Ohio, attended Kent State University and graduated from Ohio State University. He served in the army during World War II before getting his master's degree at Ohio State, where he was employed as assistant band director.

While flying home from a job interview for marching band director at the UA, Lee wrote "Bear Down Arizona." He was offered the position and served from 1952 until 1980 and the fight song was the first march he composed. He went on to write 80 works for marching band, orchestra, choir and concert band. He also conducted the concert and symphonic bands while at the UA.

The film is a short that shows the Jewish settlement and development of the captured Golan Heights. An Israeli man drives a tractor while smoking a cigarette. Views from the upper Golan Heights show the new settlements and agriculture fields. Tourists stand on a former Syrian bunker in the Golan. Fishermen prep nets on Lake Kinneret, also known as the Sea of Galilee (02:05). Footage from the point of view of a driver shows a car driving down a highway in the Golan Heights (03:05). Tractors and other heavy machines are used to grade terrain next to Lake Kinneret (03:57). Engineers oversee the work. A farmer walks through a field (05:54). Men ride horses and herd cattle on a pasture in the Golan (06:19). The film then shows viewers the waterfalls of Banias Nature Reserve (07:44), the fields of Kibbutz Dan (08:58) with an abandoned Syrian tank sitting in one of the fields, and people picnicking at Tel Dan Nature Reserve. Men move irrigation pipes (11:26). Settlers of Kibbutz Merom Golan move into former Syrian officer quarters. Tourists visit a small café run by the Kibbutz; IDF soldiers also visit the café. The film then shows a new settlement, El Al, and several other new settlements in the Golan. Druze plow their fields with animal-drawn plows (16:10). Machines build a road up Mount Hermon. The film shows the snow-covered slopes of Mount Hermon. Some people ski on the slopes, while others waterski on Lake Kinneret. People harvest grapes on the Golan Plateau (18:53), and then the film ends with a shot of the waters of Lake Kinneret.

The Golan Heights or simply the Golan, is a region in the Levant, spanning about 1,800 square kilometres (690 sq mi). The region defined as the Golan Heights differs between disciplines: as a geological and biogeographical region, the Golan Heights is a basaltic plateau bordered by the Yarmouk River in the south, t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4560008f-764f-4060-8358-775c035383aa/24ed1a90-172c-4a01-bcca-6bb275407b7e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9ySsebrcia6FjeqvL4frBq</video:player_loc><video:duration>1188</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T17:02:56.697Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/73zZxCc23SezkqYYHfTqRf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1b9d79e5-98b5-43d9-befd-55490ef7dc77.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>JACQUES COUSTEAU  1955 UNDERWATER PETROLEUM PROSPECTING EXPEDITION " STATION 307 "  70644</video:title><video:description>Made in 1955 and written, shot and edited by the great film director Louis Malle, STATION 307 is an early Jacques Cousteau movie. It shows a research expedition to the Persian Gulf and a dive near Bahrain in search of oil. The film was sponsored by the French arm of British Petroleum, and featured the ship Calypso which later became world famous. STATION 307 was the first of many films to single out the work of Cousteau.  

At the time it was made the film offered several revolutionary ideas and technologies. First, the concept of prospecting for undersea oil -- was innovative. Second, the use of scuba diving equipment as shown in the film was new to many audience members. Third, the use of underwater camera equipment made the film unique and exceptional for its time period.

COMBAT BULLETIN 55  V-E DAY // GERMANY SURRENDERS     B-29s RAID JAPAN   80884</video:title><video:description>Combat Bulletin No. 55, produced in 1945 by the Army Pictorial Service, gives viewers a look at Germany’s surrender to Allied forces, the fall of Rangoon, the development of the Allied base on Iwo Jima, captured Japanese weapons, and the heavy damage the USS Franklin sustained on 19 March 1945. The bulletin opens with additional surrender films. Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, commander of the British and Canadian 21st Army Group, reads the Instrument of Surrender at Luneburg Heath. The German delegation then signs the Instrument of Surrender (03:07), starting with General-Admiral Hans-Georg von Friedeburg, General Eberhard Kinzel, Rear Admiral Gerhard Wagner, Colonel Fritz Poleck, and Major Hans Jochen Freidel. The film shows the signed document. The bulletin then cuts to Reims, France (05:09) and the signing of the capitulation papers by Germany’s General Alfred Jodl (05:59), Supreme Allied Command representative Lt. General Walter Bedell Smith, and Soviet High Command representative Major General Ivan Susloparov. Supreme Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower poses for a photograph with other members of the Allied command (07:10), then Eisenhower speaks about the surrender of Germany. The surrender is formally ratified in Berlin under the care of General Carl A. Spaatz at the headquarters of Soviet Deputy Commander Marshal Gregory Zhukov (08:34). The German delegation arrives for the signing: Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel, General-Admiral Hans-Georg von Friedeburg, and Colonel-General Hans-Jurgen Stumpff sign the document (09:27). General Jean de Lattre de Tassigny signs on behalf of the French Army. Allied leaders gather to celebrate afterward. The next segment of the bulletin features General Robert C. Richardson as he speaks about V-E Day (10:18). The bulletin then takes viewers to Burma and the fall of Rangoon.

Brandis and L. John Castelli. The film presents images of African American beauty that reflected the times and focused on black pride. Interestingly, Libra was a white run luxury cosmetics manufacturer that relied on African American salespeople. (Yet notably the narrator is clearly a white man.) At the time, specialized cosmetics for minorities represented a new and emerging market, and Libra hoped to capitalize on the emerging black middle and upper classes' interest. 

According to the book "Style and Status: Selling Beauty to African American Women, 1920-1975" by Susannah Walker, the film was likely influenced by the Black Power movement. Whether or not it succeeded for Libra is unclear, but the brand didn't seem to survive the mid-1970s.

The film begins with shots of the helicopter aircraft carrier Moscow / Moskva on its maiden voyage in the Mediterranean Sea in 1968. The Kashin class guided-missile destroyers, the world's first major ships built with gas turbine propulsion, are also shown along with Soviet nuclear submarines. These sophisticated warships are seen to epitomize the Soviet naval threat to the West. The story of the Soviet Navy is a complicated one, and the film presents it using fascinating archival footage, some of it clearly pulled from the movies of Sergei Eisenstein. The Russian Imperial Navy that existed under Czar Nicholas II is shown, consisting of dreadnoughts, battleships and submarines. The royal yacht is seen briefly, with Princess Anastasia.  Almost this entire fleet would be destroyed by the end of the Revolution, and Anasatasia and Nicholas II's family would be murdered. Aleksandr Kolchak, who led the White Russian navy during the period of the Civil War, is shown prior to his defeat and execution. Under Lenin, the navy would be only partially rebuilt, as suspicions existed as to the loyalty of the officer corps. This, despite the fact that the crew of the cruiser Aurora were among the first to join the call to arms. Under Stalin, the Soviet Navy would rebound, and a new canal was built between Leningrad and Murmansk that allowed unfettered access to the White Sea for the first time. The fleet would play only a small role during WWII however, as most of it remained bottled up by German forces. After the war, Kruschev began new building programs , and the Soviets quickly expanded their fleet into the current, world-ranging model.

The executive offices for the team are located in suburban Atlanta.

The Globetrotters originated in the south side of Chicago, Illinois, in the 1920s, where all the original players were raised. The Globetrotters began as the Savoy Big Five, one of the premier attractions of the Savoy Ballroom opened in November 1927, a basketball team of African-American players that played exhibitions before dances. In 1928, several players left the team in a dispute. That autumn, several of the players, led by Tommy Brookins, formed a team called the "Globe Trotters" and toured Southern Illinois that spring. Abe Saperstein became involved with the team as its manager and promoter. By 1929, Saperstein was touring Illinois and Iowa with his basketball team called the "New York Harlem Globe Trotters". Saperstein selected Harlem, New York, New York, as their home city since Harlem was considered the center of African-American culture at the time and an out-of-town team name would give the team more of a mystique. In fact, the Globetrott...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/36e089d8-ccca-45ee-ba5c-0c915a6d6d4d/21926240-e92b-4513-b909-dcc2e2764d93-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7M31pwKsmMPZQZyxsjqvCR</video:player_loc><video:duration>679</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T17:18:10.424Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qxmmuLhMMJYqRX1bAdLgJ1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/430cff00-ad6c-4e26-9918-e9a25d4f96d5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY S-3A VIKING AIRCRAFT   FOUR CREW EJECTION SEAT TEST  CHINA LAKE CALIFORNIA  45634</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

This silent footage shot with high speed cameras shows a full ejection seat test for the S3A Viking aircraft conducted at the U.S. Navy's facility at China Lake, California. It was shot in 1971, before the aircraft went into active service. Various views of the test are seen including on-board cameras. The S-3A's four man crew necessitated a sophisticated ejection sequence -- and a close look at the footage shows that all four crew could be ejected within seconds of one another without their chutes getting entangled (and without frying each other with rocket blast). All crew members sit on forward-facing, upward-firing Douglas Escapac zero-zero ejection seats. In "group eject" mode, initiating ejection from either front seat ejects the entire crew in sequence, with the back seats ejecting 0.5 seconds before the front in order to provide safe separation. The rear seats are capable of self ejection, and the ejection sequence includes a pyrotechnic charge that stows the rear keyboard trays out of the occupants' way immediately before ejection. Safe ejection requires the seats to be weighted in pairs, and when flying with a single crewman in the back the unoccupied seat is fitted with ballast blocks.

The Lockheed S-3 Viking is a four-seat, twin-engine turbofan-powered jet aircraft that was used by the U.S. Navy primarily for anti-submarine warfare. In the late 1990s, the S-3B's mission focus shifted to surface warfare and aerial refueling. The Viking also provided electronic warfare and surface surveillance capabilities to the carrier battle group. A carrier-based, subsonic, all-weather, multi-mission aircraft with long range; it carried automated weapon systems, and was capable of extended missions with in-flight refueling. Because of the characteristic sound of the Viking's engines, it w...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c6bbed8c-7773-4162-ab75-5fbc38319900/b8c3f1e7-5148-48eb-bbc4-b5c74fa8ee6a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qxmmuLhMMJYqRX1bAdLgJ1</video:player_loc><video:duration>794</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T17:20:22.241Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/v7pZUFC9yQmqDYjaXQpdSj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9ec6124e-fb1e-45d9-8407-d2eaec915c47.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>A BRIEF VISIT TO THE VIRGIN ISLANDS &amp; ST. THOMAS 1930s TRAVELOGUE MOVIE 53354</video:title><video:description>“A Brief Visit to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands” is the first part of a short 1930s film, In the Wake of the Buccaneers, produced by the Division of Motion Pictures for the U.S. Department of Interior. “A Brief Visit” highlights St. Thomas, promoting tourism for the U.S. Virgin Islands, which the U.S. purchased from Denmark in 1916. The film begins with a luxury steam liner arriving at St. Thomas (00:17), where people take a small boat to the island’s capital and largest city, Charlotte Amalie. In Charlotte Amalie, tourists can ride a donkey (01:07) and visit Emancipation Park (01:21)—or Emancipation Gardens — where the proclamation freeing the slaves was supposedly read in 1848. Other highlights of the capital city include Lower Town (01:30), the old drainage system (02:11), the market (02:26) where locals buy and sell produce and other goods, and the Cooperative (03:10). Local women show off woven hats and bags, including the chapo hat (03:28). Other attractions include the beaches of St. Thomas and Lindbergh Bay (04:03). While tourists enjoy the sights of St. Thomas, locals restock the ships’ supplies (04:53), including baskets of coal needed to power the steam ships. North of Charlotte Amalie is The Drake Seat (06:01), which commemorates Sir. Francis Drake and overlooks the scenic Magens Bay. Back in Charlotte Amalie is Bluebeard’s Castle Hotel (06:38), overlooking the harbor. Here, tourists enjoy the hotel and its gardens (07:20), as well as sitting on the veranda and sipping on a freshly prepared Swizzle (07:50), the region’s famous cocktail. The film concludes with a steam liner departing St. Thomas, the “Gem of the Caribbean” (08:43).

JOHN PAUL STAPP 59964</video:title><video:description>This silent, raw film shows preparations for rocket sled tests on December 10, 1954 at Holloman Air Force Base with the Sonic Wind 1, under the guidance of Col. John Paul Stapp and the Northrop Aircraft Co. Stapp is seen throughout the footage wearing a flight suit and a regulation cap. At 3:37 he is seen standing next to the Sonic Wind; motion picture cameras are visible on the end of the sled pointing to the passenger chair. These would record acceleration and deceleration effects on Dr. Stapp. 


The Sonic Wind 1 was powered by nine solid fuel rockets with 40,000 pounds total thrust for five seconds. Air Force Lt. Col. John Stapp first rode the sled on March 19, 1954, at Holloman and reached a speed of 613 feet per second. During acceleration, he was subjected to a force of 22 times that of gravity (22 g's). He made his second run on the sled on August 20, 1954 attaining a speed of 735 feet per second.

On December 10, 1954 (when this film was shot), Stapp made his last and most notable ride on the sled reaching a speed of 632 miles per hour. Stapp underwent a force of 40 g's, the highest g force any human had endured to that time. The sled rides helped determine the effects of extreme acceleration on the human body, data that was very useful in aerospace medicine.

NYSE MKT LLC, formerly known as the American Stock Exchange (AMEX), is an American stock exchange situated in New York City, New York. AMEX was previously a mutual organization, owned by its members. Until 1953, it was known as the New York Curb Exchange.

On January 17, 2008, NYSE Euronext announced it would acquire the AMEX for $260 million in stock; on October 1, 2008, NYSE Euronext completed the acquisition. Before the closing of the acquisition, NYSE Euronext announced that the AMEX would be integrated with the Alternext European small-cap exchange and renamed the NYSE Alternext U.S.

In March 2009, NYSE Alternext U.S. was changed to NYSE Amex Equities. On May 10, 2012, NYSE Amex Equities changed its name to NYSE MKT LLC.

These brokers often traded stocks that were speculative in nature. With the discovery of oil in the latter half of the 19th century, even oil stocks entered into the curb market. By 1865, following the American Civil War, stocks in small industrial companies, such as iron and steel, textiles and chemicals were first sold by curbstone brokers. Efforts to organize and standardize the market started early in the 20th century under Emanuel S. Mendels and Carl H. Pforzheimer.. In 1908, the New York Curb Market Agency was established, to codify trading practices. In 1911, the curbstone brokers came to be known as the New York Curb Market, which then had a formal constitution with brokerage and listing standards. After several years of outdoor trading, the curbstone brokers moved indoors in 1921 to New York Curb Exchange Building on Greenwich Street in Lower Manhattan. In 1929, the New York Curb Market changed its name to the New York Curb Exchange. Within no time, the Curb Exchange became the leading international stock marke...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3484cccc-7455-47f8-b364-9abc950b8575/05e0f748-4eaa-431d-87c1-b67972635620-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7u9kYSaTzvA18kFwrt3MuH</video:player_loc><video:duration>1230</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T17:27:37.922Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8nEmtEzKAmv7as249zw1Zv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a29f5ac6-7e74-4684-b98d-d61cb64afc62.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LINDE HELIARC / TIG WELDING FOR CARBON STEEL PIPE  1960s TRAINING FILM  63954</video:title><video:description>This color educational film is about Heliarc welding carbon steel pipes. It is presented by the Linde Company, a division of the Union Carbide Corporation. A close-up shows a welder welding a carbon steel pipe joint using Heliarc welding (:33-1:00). A diagram shows that Heliarc welding uses a tungsten electrode to cause the heat generated by the electric arc between the electrode and work piece. The gas used is argon. A welding rod is fed into the puddle (1:01-`1:35). A welder wearing a welding helmet and gloves carries a carbon steel pipe to a bench. He uses the Heliarc welding equipment to show how to join two pipes cut at different angles (1:36-2:05. He strikes the arc by moving the head in a swinging motion and bringing the tip of the electrode to the metal surface to make flat tack welds (2:06-3:18). He next attaches the pipe horizontally to a stand to make vertical welds that fill in the gaps, starting at the bottom on each side and moving to the top (3:19-5:00). The welder shows how to make horizontal welds on a vertical pipe (5:01-5:16). The finished Heliarc welded pipe is shown from the outside and inside. A close-up shows the etched cross section of perfect fusion and uniform penetration (5:17-6:26). More shots of Heliarc welding are shown up close (6:27-7:10). 

Russell Meredith of Northrop Aircraft perfected the process shown here in 1941.Meredith named the process Heliarc because it used a tungsten electrode arc and helium as a shielding gas, but it is often referred to as tungsten inert gas welding (TIG). The American Welding Society's official term is gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). Linde Air Products developed a wide range of air-cooled and water-cooled torches, gas lenses to improve shielding, and other accessories that increased the use of the process. Initially, the electrode overheated quickly and, despite tungsten's high melting temperature, particles of tungsten were transferred to the weld. To address this problem, the polarity of the elec...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3bb639c7-530e-4a5a-8e26-c6fc81d23b07/fe887288-fde9-4024-9140-41addeeecdef-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8nEmtEzKAmv7as249zw1Zv</video:player_loc><video:duration>438</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T17:28:03.324Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hTRg8cqDtQ16NoZj1iXLBE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/895e85d1-d9c8-442d-b4f8-2ddeff1e898f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SOVIET UNION PARATROOP TRAINING  ARMY PROMO FILM  FREE FALL PHOTOGRAPHY 52174</video:title><video:description>Dating to the 1960s, this Soviet film's title translates as "People from the Sky" and celebrates the art of skydiving. It features two prominent Russians -- including world record holder Valeria Marencheva -- and some fantastic photography of the free fall. The film's lyrical beginning features the female skydiver literally telling the clouds that she loves them! At 2:55 a group of male and female skydivers ascend in a Russian aircraft and then bail out the rear cargo doors at 3:40. At 4:44, a ground radio station communicates to the skydiving team. Their activities are filmed during the drop by a jumper with a 16mm helmet camera. 

The Soviets were some of the pioneers in the military use of skydivers. In 1933, the Soviets staged the first mass parachute drop when they dropped 62 parachutists from three bombers. They greatly expanded their parachute units and in 1936 dropped 1,800.

BRAGG 30934</video:title><video:description>Dating to 1974 when the International Military Sport Council's parachute competition was held at Ft. Bragg, Kentucky, this U.S. Army shows contestants from 15 nations, including Vietnam. Members of the famed 82nd Airborne Division hosted the event. At 3:46 U.S. Army Huey helicopters are used to make jumps. At 6:51 individual awards are given to the top three participants. The team from the USA won the overall first place team trophy that year (7:50). 

Parachuting, or skydiving, is the action sport of exiting an aircraft and returning to Earth with the aid of gravity, then slowing down during the last part of the descent by using a parachute. It may or may not involve a certain amount of free-fall, a time during which the parachute has not been deployed and the body gradually accelerates to terminal velocity.

The International Military Sports Council (IMSC) or Conseil International du Sport Militaire (CISM), established 1948, is one of the largest multidisciplinary organisations in the world. CISM is the second largest multi-sport discipline organization after the International Olympic Committee, holding more than 20 competitions annually.[1] Soldiers, who may previously have met on the battlefield, now meet on the sports playing field. It organises various sporting events, including the Military World Games and World Military Championships for the armed forces of 134 member countries.[2] The aim of CISM is to promote sport activity and physical education between armed forces as a means to foster world peace. The motto of CISM is "Friendship through Sport" and is based on three pillars of sport, education and solidarity.[3] This is in accordance with the philosophy and the ideals which were set in CISM’s mission statement in 1998, signed by all the member countries.

The film was likely used as a promotional and recruiting tool, and may have been shown with live narration at schools, community halls, etc. The film contains wonderful color footage of many aspects of basic training in the post WWII era, including artillery practice, a live fire exercise with rifles, a demonstration of a flame thrower (12:08), and even an air strike (with what appear to be P-51 Mustangs -- starting at 15:50). At 11;48 Sherman tanks are shown. At 13:46 large Radioplane drones are shown being launched for use as targets for anti-aircraft guns. Some of the nicer aspects of Army life are shown towards the end of the film as men play volleyball, visit the PX, and an Army movie theater (17:55) as well as a church in the field (18:00). 

We searched for information about the Commanding General, E.H. Hawkwood, who is mentioned at :24, but did not find any information about him. Col. Henry G. Nulton, the assistant division commander, was active in 1946 which is one of the reasons we speculate the film is from the late 1940s. 

The 78th Training Division (Operations) ("Lightning") is a unit of the United States Army which served in World War I and World War II as the 78th Infantry Division, and currently trains and evaluates units of the United States Army Reserve for deployment.

The film also shows some of the cutting edge equipment used in the system and shows how it was installed in vehicles (7:30).

MTS was a pre-cellular VHF radio system that linked to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). As such it used both radio signals and telephone lines to connect parties. MTS was the radiotelephone equivalent of land dial phone service. It was operator assisted in both directions, meaning that if one were called from a land line the call would be routed to a mobile operator, who would route it to one's phone. Similarly, to make an outbound call one had to go through the mobile operator, who would ask for the mobile number and the number to be called, and would then place the call. This service originated with the Bell System, and was first used in St. Louis on June 17, 1946. The original equipment weighed 80 pounds (36 kg), and there were initially only 3 channels for all the users in the metropolitan area, later more licenses were added bringing the total to 32 channels across 3 bands  This service was used at least into the 1980s. Due to the small number of radio frequencies available, the service quickly reached capacity. MTS was replaced by Improved Mobile Telephone Service (IMTS), introduced in 1964.

The film opens with a fighter jet crash landing in the desert. The pilot, “Mr. Smith,” is killed in the crash. An investigative journalist interviews people who knew Smith, and everyone commented about how they knew him as “Indestructible Smith,” which lead to his disregard for safety precautions. Pilots sit in a classroom watching a film on flight safety that covers such topics as dress code, pre-flight safety checks. The film shows a replica of the Navy’s accident report for Smith. 

This film was made by the UPA Studio. United Productions of America, better known as UPA, was an American animation studio active from the 1940s through the 1970s. It gained famed for Mr. Magoo, but actually got started by making industrials and informational films for the government, unions, and companies, many of them being done for the World War II war effort. "Indestructible Smith" however never gained much traction and was supplanted by an accident prone cohort -- known as Grandpa Pettibone -- in future U.S. Navy productions.

Highly propagandistic in content and tone, the film begins with images of Ukrainian civilians who suffered at the hands of the Germany Army before showing the vast offensive that liberated the city. The film shows German officers relaxing at the 1:00 mark and shows them mowing down captured Russian soldiers and civilians at 1:10. These atrocities and more are answered by the Red Army which is shown moving at 1:44 into combat and the Red Air Force which is seen engaging the enemy at 2:39.

The offensive shown was part of much wider Soviet offensive in Ukraine known as the Battle of the Dnieper involved three strategic operations by the Soviet Red Army, and one operational counterattack by the Wehrmacht which took place between 3 October and 22 December 1943.

Following the Battle of Kursk, the Red Army launched Belgorod-Khar'kov Offensive Operation, pushing Erich von Manstein's Army Group South back towards the Dnieper River. Stavka, the Soviet high command, ordered the Central Front and the Voronezh Front to force crossings of the Dnieper. When this was unsuccessful in October, the effort was handed over to the 1st Ukrainian Front, with some support from the 2nd Ukrainian Front. The 1st Ukrainian Front, commanded by Nikolai Vatutin, was able to secure bridgeheads north and south of Kiev.

Although the Soviets failed to break the rail link with Army Group Center or envelop Army Group South, they had broken the Dnieper line, taken Kiev, the third biggest city in the Soviet Union, and inflicted significant casualties on the 4th Panzer Army. The Germans, for their part, had bloodied several sizable Soviet formations and kept the vital rail link open, but failed in its attempt to encircle and destroy the Soviet spearheads. A few days after XLVIII Panzer Corps was pulled out to rest and refit, the Soviets launched Dnieper–Carpathian Offensive on Christmas Eve.

DOUGLAS KELLEY  "THE CRIMINAL MAN"  1950s CRIMINOLOGY TV SHOW    MARIJUANA &amp; DRUG USE  62844</video:title><video:description>This is a 1950’s era, black and white tv show produced by National Educational Television entitled "The Criminal Man" which featured an examination of the minds of criminals and deviants. The show was hosted by Dr. Douglas Kelley. This in fact is Lt. Colonel Douglas McGlashan Kelley (11 August 1912 – January 1, 1958) who was a United States Army Military Intelligence Corps officer who served as chief psychiatrist at Nuremberg Prison during the Nuremberg War Trials. He worked to ascertain defendants' competency evaluations before standing trial. Upon honorable discharge in 1946, Kelley was appointed Associate Professor of Psychiatry at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine in North Carolina. In 1949 he was appointed Professor of Criminology at the University of California at Berkeley. Shockingly, Kelley committed suicide in front of his wife, father and oldest son on New Year's Day 1958 during a family gathering to watch the Rose Bowl game on television. He died by ingesting potassium cyanide as had Nazi leader Hermann Göring, whom Kelley had come to know during his psychiatric evaluation at Nuremberg. According to Psychology Today, Kelley was alcoholic and despondent by that time and had a "history of dark moods"; he had also expressed admiration "for Göring’s control over his own death".

The fire occurred after an electrical anomaly caused a Zuni rocket on a F-4B Phantom to fire, striking an external fuel tank of an A-4 Skyhawk. The flammable jet fuel spilled across the flight deck, ignited, and triggered a chain-reaction of explosions that killed 134 sailors and injured 161. At the time, Forrestal was engaged in combat operations in the Gulf of Tonkin, during the Vietnam War. The ship survived, but with damage exceeding US$72 million, not including the damage to aircraft.[2][3] Future United States Senator John McCain and future four-star admiral and U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander Ronald J. Zlatoper were among the survivors. Lt. Tom Treanore returned to the ship as its commander and retired an admiral.

The disaster prompted the Navy to revise its fire fighting practices. It also modified its weapon handling procedures and installed a deck wash down system on all carriers. The newly established Farrier Fire Fighting School Learning Site in Norfolk, Virginia was named after Chief Gerald W. Farrier, the commander of Damage Control Team 8, who was among the first to die in the fire and explosions.

The USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67) takes center stage -- and the material shot on her deck looks like it is right out of "Top Gun". Shown in this film is the USS Langley (CV-1) (formerly collier USS Jupiter AC-3), USS Lexington (CV-3) and the USS Yorktown (CV-5) in the Battle of Coral Sea. Also featured: USS Saratoga (CV-2), USS Enterprise (CV-6), USS Hornet (CV-8), USS Wasp (CV-7), USS Ranger (CV-4), USS Yorktown (CV-5), USS Essex (CV-9), USS Guadalcanal (CVE-60), the British carrier HMS Furious, the destroyer USS Zeilin (DD-313), and other warships.   This documentary chronicles the evolution and critical role of American aircraft carriers in WWII and beyond. Beginning with the early Pacific battles in 1942, including the Battle of the Coral Sea—the first naval engagement where opposing ships never saw each other—and culminating in the decisive American victory at Midway, it highlights the bravery of naval aviators and innovations in carrier warfare. As the war progressed, new ships like the Essex-class carriers and advanced aircraft like the Hellcat helped turn the tide against Japan. Escort carriers, or "Jeep carriers," played vital support roles, including anti-submarine operations in the Atlantic. Notably, kamikaze attacks at Okinawa tested carrier resilience, but none of the Essex-class carriers were lost. Post-war, carriers adapted to Cold War missions, enabling jet operations and playing strategic roles in Korea, Vietnam, and crises like the Cuban Missile Crisis. Technological advancements—from steam catapults to nuclear propulsion—solidified the aircraft carrier's versatility and central place in naval power. The carrier evolved from a makeshift platform into the linchpin of American sea dominance, embodying courage, adaptability, and deterrence.

The movie opens with footage of a real estate broker discussing the many things to consider in her business, followed by other people in industry discussing the many things they need to know in order to do their jobs properly. At :27 an  IBM 5100 Portable Computer is shown. This was a portable computer (one of the first) introduced in September 1975, six years before the IBM Personal Computer. It was the evolution of a prototype called the SCAMP (Special Computer APL Machine Portable) that was developed at the IBM Palo Alto Scientific Center in 1973. In January 1978, IBM announced the IBM 5110, its larger cousin, and in February 1980 IBM announced the IBM 5120. The 5100 was withdrawn in March 1982. When the IBM PC was introduced in 1981, it was originally designated as the IBM 5150, putting it in the "5100" series, though its architecture was not directly descended from the IBM 5100.

It features a script by Robert L. Richards and Cedric R. Worth and was produced and directed by Louis de Rochemont. The film (made just before the entry of the USA into WWII) draws parallels between the First World War and the Second.

The story told in this film is that of America during the years 1914-18, as reflected in the lives of various people in a small American city. In 1914, it is a peaceful land, where people go to the picnic grove in open-air street cars, little boys ride on ice wagons and gay blades dance the Hesitation. Then war breaks out in Europe, America slowly begins to feel it. A foreign laborer leaves the small town for his homeland, people talk. Through old newsreel sequences, the course of world events is woven in with developments in the town. The Lusitania is sunk; America is outraged. Opinions clash; there are peace parades and advocates for preparedness. Wilson is re-elected. Training camps are started. There is sabotage in American munitions factories, armed neutrality, then war -- all reflected in the emotions of the townsfolk.

The movie opens with squadrons of planes flying overhead, a suggestion of the coming conflict of WWII. But the movie flashes back to 1914 as Americans prepare to enter the first World War at 2:00.

Instead of the usual multiple segments, this is a single segment “Making Contact” about communication among the industrial workforce.  An automobile factory worker finger whistles, pats his head, and his side. A worker makes a signal like pulling a horn to indicate more doors are needed, shown stacked. Putting your fingers around your eyes signals for more headlights. Additional gestures are shown (:11-1:25). Parts manufacturer WRAP has a radio station in the factory as its master control room. A gentleman uses an attached handset to communicate about the statistics on one of the many boards. A supervisor carries a walkie-talkie in a carry bag to tell floor workers the messages. Additional machines are in offices, which the control room contacts (1:26-2:30). A California company uses a closed-circuit TV system to convey information to employees, shown watching the show on TVs in the factory. GM Futurama is filmed, which includes an orchestra and stage show that is televised to theatres. Employees in suits stand up after a televised presentation by an executive (2:31-4:02). A hand-held motion picture camera is used in training films (4:03-4:25). The Atlantic City Electric Company uses an early Bell recording device to record messages to employees. A female desk worker dials 277 on a rotary desk telephone to hear the recording, as do other employees (4:26-5:20).

The film begins with images of rocket bottle used as a sign pointing the way to the Track Test Directorate. Various test articles are seen including some of the largest, fastest sleds then in use. At :37, a multi-stage rocket test.  Speed run with wedge weight/shape.  Uses under-sled wedges to scoop water and stop the sled at the end of the run. At :51 a sled is launched down the track and into a water brake (1:08) where it glides to a stop. At 1:29 another sled is sent down the track. Likely testing capability of rocket motor. At 2:07 high speed photography shows what appears to be an ordnance test (a projectile or test article launched from a winglet) on the track. At 2:37 an ejection capsule is tested on the track. This is probably an F-111 capsule which was then under refinement. This is a standard ejection test where the sled gets up to speed and then stabilizes at the desired speed and then does the actual ejection.  In this case, it’s not an ejection “seat,” but it ejects the entire cockpit or forward section to protect the people or payload.  At 3:22, impact test and it looks like a test for a warhead. At 4:00 high speed photography slo-mos the travel of a rocket sled which is being used to conduct a collision or stress test on what appears to be a re-entry vehicle. At 4:50 the impact is shown in high speed footage captured using a prism camera capable of shooting many hundreds or even thousands of frames per second.  At 5:09 another ejection system test is shown with a double ejection of crew on the track. At 6:07 the test article is seen up close at at 6:45 one of the dummies is shown. 

At 10:37 a two stage rocket sled blasts down the track and spectacular high speed photography shows the sled zipping along as test launch of various articles is conducted (11:26).

The IBM 82 Card Sorter is shown. An IBM card sorter is a machine for sorting decks of punched cards in the format popularized by the International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), which dominated the punched card data processing industry for much of the twentieth century. Sorting was a major activity in most facilities that processed data on punched cards using unit record equipment. The work flow of many processes required decks of cards to be put into some specific order as determined by the data punched in the cards. The same deck might be sorted differently for different processing steps. The IBM 80 series sorters sorted input cards into one of 13 pockets depending on the holes punched in a selected column and the sorter's settings....</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/654ea53c-3bf2-4dce-a901-e054b5371104/fbfedf5f-8707-4a3a-bd72-111a50a0f72e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dvz85Dc7CBq6b2SmAjRS5d</video:player_loc><video:duration>832</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T19:28:33.805Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fruG8Ha256x1ZSqwqWtUi8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/73e4bf7a-34aa-4087-b817-83e5a6af453b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HISTORY OF EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE  "REACH BEYOND THE HORIZON"  X-PLANES  MUROC  63354</video:title><video:description>Reach Beyond the Horizon: A History of Edwards Air Force Base is a short 1970s film that provides an overview of the aviation and aerospace achievements of the base.

This second Mauretania was built by Cammell Laird of Birkenhead and was the largest ship built in England at that time. At :48 a crowd assembles for the launching and the hull of the ship is seen at the drydock. The date is 28 July 1938. At 1:21 Sir Percy E. Bates the chairman of Cunard Lines arrives along with Lady Bates, to christen the ship. At 2:47 the blocks are broken out and at 2:57 as the tide rises to over 12', anticipation rises. At 3:30 Lady Bates christens the liner and its name is revealed. At 4:08 the ship slips down the ways. At 5;42 the anchor is dropped for the first time and then the tugs guide the ship into its berth for completion.

RMS Mauretania was launched on 28 July 1938 at the Cammell Laird yard in Birkenhead, England, and was completed in May 1939. The second Mauretania was the first ship built for the newly formed Cunard White Star company following the merger in April 1934 of the Cunard and White Star Line. On the withdrawal of the first RMS Mauretania in 1934, to prevent a rival company using the name and to keep it available for the new liner, arrangements were made for the Red Funnel paddle steamer Queen to be renamed Mauretania in the interim.

The new liner had a tonnage of 35,739 gross, an overall length of 772 feet (235 m) and a beam of 89 feet (27 m) and had a exterior design similar to RMS Queen Elizabeth. The vessel was powered by two sets of Parsons single reduction-geared steam turbines giving 42,000 shaft horsepower (31,000 kW) and driving twin propellers. Her service speed was 23 knots (43 km/h) with a maximum speed of 26 knots (48 km/h).

Mauretania was laid down on 24 May 1937 as Yard Number 1029. This new medium sized Cunarder was launched on 28 July 1938 by Lady Bates, wife of the Cunard White Star chairman. She was named Mauretania to honour the previous record breaking Mauretania which had been retired in 1935. The ship was designed for the Lo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/cf6a1c4c-fbe5-47b4-a62d-8351c084d993/d63e5ebb-be8e-4074-bfb6-c782c6146c2f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rBwcEyrmNgzHv9toL53qeR</video:player_loc><video:duration>458</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T19:39:01.248Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pvma2UaRz7qFLf2gu2VBpa</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fe60ff66-795c-44ac-acd9-fd269658c6b4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NEW YORK CITY ELEVATED RAILWAY  THIRD AVENUE ELEVATED DOCUMENTARY 40674z</video:title><video:description>The Vanishing El is a fascinating short film that provides us a nostalgic look back at Manhattan's last elevated passenger railroad, the Third Avenue El. Part of a system of elevated railroads constructed in the late 19th century, the 3rd Avenue El outlived its counterparts, the 6th and 9th street El's, and operated into the 1950's until it was dismantled in 1955. Filmed and produced by Roy Creveling, this is one of the If Things Could Talk series films. Narrated by an El Car, really the voice of Carl King, we are given a tour of the railroad from the Bronx to South Ferry, a distance of 15 miles.

During the war gasoline was strictly rationed and auto trips were taken only for reasons of necessity. Cars were kept in storage and in some cases drained of all fluids, and put on blocks so their tires could be used for the war effort. It wouldn't be for a couple of years after the war ended that new cars were available so -- autos had to be kept running as shown in the film. 

This film follows the main character Tom and his family for roughly a decade after Tom purchases a 1936 Plymouth 4-Door Touring Sedan, and through the war, showing some of the big events of those years for the family and the world. The film begins with Tom changing the license plates on the Plymouth, hanging the old plate on a wall with all the other old plates. He recalls 1936, a year when King Edward becomes the Duke of Windsor and sits next to his American wife (00:56), Shirley Temple entertains audiences across the country at the age of 7, and the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie goes into exile, and Germany tests its new weapons in the Spanish Civil War. 1936 is also when Tom buys the new Plymouth and drives it home (01:57). Tom’s kids are giddy upon seeing the new car. The family takes the car for a drive. Tom’s kids clean the car’s interior (05:06). The film recaps 1940, with scenes of Japanese attacks on a Chinese town (05:33), Nazi troops marching into Austria, the World’s Fair (06:08), Nazi forces invading Poland on horseback and in tanks, and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressing Congress (06:50). Tom and his wife ride in their car (08:08), and Tom accidentally bumps into a parked car. Tom and his wife sit in lawn chairs out in the yard while Tom reads the newspaper (09:14). The film reviews the year 1941 with footage of FDR being inaugurated for his third term (11:48), the New York Yankees playing baseball at Yankee Stadium, and FDR signing the Lend-Lease Act (1...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e5cc3cfb-9e20-4b13-9d0a-029469c56cec/4ceb1ef3-eabc-430d-bb24-b9a290b64a8b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/unQfCTGKojyoH1wPVRNkeN</video:player_loc><video:duration>1734</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T19:52:30.740Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bW8yQMqMVdzdeQ5k1Ey3DA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6c41f041-fbc9-412b-bdfb-fb85ab8756af.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>INDUSTRY ON PARADE  PILLS, PHARMACY &amp; PHARMACISTS   TRAINING BANKERS   WAGONS  FABRIC DYE  65494a</video:title><video:description>This black and white film is one of a 1950-1960 television series Industry on Parade, produced by the National Association of Manufacturers.

Using modern techniques of slow motion, the film shows all of Tilden's graceful athleticism and is a great profile of the tennis pro to the stars -- including Charles Chaplin.

William Tatem Tilden II (February 10, 1893 – June 5, 1953), nicknamed "Big Bill," was an American male tennis player. He is often considered one of the greatest tennis players of all time.Tilden was the World No. 1 player for six years from 1920 through 1925. He won 15 Major singles titles including ten Grand Slam events, one World Hard Court Championships and four Pro Slam tournaments. He was the first American to win Wimbledon in 1920. He also won a record seven US Championships titles (shared with Richard Sears and Bill Larned).

Tilden dominated the world of international tennis in the first half of the 1920s, and during his 18-year amateur period of 1912–30, won 138 of 192 tournaments. He owns a number of all-time tennis achievements including a career match winning record and a career winning percentage at the US National Championships. At the 1929 US National Championships Tilden became the first player to reach 10 finals at a single Grand Slam event. This mark stood until 2015, when Roger Federer reached his tenth Wimbledon final. Tilden, who was frequently at odds with the rigid United States Lawn Tennis Association about his amateur status and income derived from newspaper articles, won his last Major title in 1930 at Wimbledon aged 37. He turned professional on the last day of that year and toured with a handful of other professionals for the next 15 years.

Tilden, who was one of the most famous athletes in the world for many years, today is not widely remembered, despite his former renown. During his lifetime, however, he was a flamboyant character who was never out of the public eye, acting in both movies and plays, a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b79af1d1-eab7-4150-a0ad-2413bde42a01/ff607da6-d531-48da-9fc5-1a6a16989701-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oEZPnv18g4g71DmwvDkjgK</video:player_loc><video:duration>439</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T20:06:10.352Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4PvPBPmT2xaz6xC8THPwcz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cc199677-fc41-4a01-b651-077a7da2b402.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s SOUTH AFRICA TRAVELOGUE  ZULULAND &amp; NAMAQUALAND 64464</video:title><video:description>Disclaimer: This historic film was produced during the apartheid era in South Africa.

It is presented solely for historical purposes, to help document in part a period of terrible repression.  

Namaqualand and Zululand is the second film in The South African Scene, A Series by Films Of The Nations, Inc. that highlights the people and countryside of the two regions in South Africa. The film opens with a man and a woman (who appear to be two tourists from Cape Town) on a farm in Namaqualand; they look out at a waterfall. Flowers spring up from the ground in Namaqualand (01:41) during the spring. The Cape Town couple sit in a field of flowers; a close up shot shows the Golden South African Daisy (02:35) and other wild flowers (03:24). On the other side of South Africa is Zululand. The two travelers drive on a rural highway. They stop to look at a waterfall (04:40) and the Valley of A Thousand Hills. Two Zulu men walk on the grass hill (05:13); Zulu women wash clothes. Zulus in tribal dress pose for the camera (05:49). A traveler looks at crafts made by a Zulu woman (06:40). Two travelers hike up a mountain in Zululand (07:20). At Zululand’s Hluhluwe Game Reserve, visitors catch a glimpse of the famous Black Rhinoceros (08:46) as well as the rare White Rhinoceros (09:14). The film concludes with a Zulu man leading ox pulling a wagon (09:52).

Namaqualand (Afrikaans: Namakwaland) is an arid region of Namibia and South Africa, extending along the west coast over 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) and covering a total area of 440,000 square kilometres (170,000 sq mi). It is divided by the lower course of the Orange River into two portions – Little Namaqualand to the south and Great Namaqualand to the north.
Little Namaqualand is within the Namakwa District Municipality, forming part of Northern Cape Province, South Africa.

The purpose of the series “is to acquaint those who are beginners in study of the science of navigation with the basic principles underlying the markings of our coastal and inland waterways.” This film discusses how to identify lighthouses and lightships, using a combination of actual footage and artistic renderings (in some cases overlaying the two). The film opens with a shot of a lighthouse and a lightship. A buoy marks a hidden obstruction in the water. The film reviews two different types of lighthouses (02:08), a masonry structure built on land and a cylindrical structure built over the water. The film shows the different types of coloring used for lighthouses (a solid color, banded colors, etc). Lighthouses feature different types of lights (04:27), including fixed light and flashing light. Graphics show a fog signal on the wall of a lighthouse (05:58); animation shows fog obscuring a lighthouse, but the fog signal alerts ships to its presence. A lightship sits out on the water (07:15), painted red with the station’s name painted in white. The film reviews the different types of lights featured on lightships: fixed, flashing, group, and alternating.

A lighthouse is a tower, building, or other type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and to serve as a navigational aid for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways. Lighthouses mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, and safe entries to harbors; they also assist in aerial navigation. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses has declined due to the expense of maintenance and use of electronic navigational systems.

A lightvessel, or lightship, is a ship that acts as a lighthouse. They are used in waters that are too deep or otherwise unsuitable for lighthouse construction. Although some records exist of fire beacons being ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2d16990f-57b0-4ff8-ab83-783771640f47/887a6364-3972-4149-8d67-c76d62b47d9c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6yVHycL6wBxUbnxUUfvxNp</video:player_loc><video:duration>565</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T20:11:27.187Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/idLc23MN9rv4x98dZVNvVR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/68017aaa-80d2-4803-b0e4-e8fae82a08f3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE ATOMIC BOMB ITS EFFECTS &amp; HOW TO MEET THEM  BRITISH CIVIL DEFENSE FILM  83284</video:title><video:description>The 1952 Civil Defense and Fire Service training film The Atomic Bomb: Its Effects And How To Meet Them (Parts 1-3) aims help the public visualize “the effects of the Atomic Bomb in true perspective.” The film begins with “Part One: Introduction,” which uses the scenario of a nominal bomb blast detonated one-thousand feet above a small city. Graphics are used to show how energy is released from an atomic bomb. The film uses diagrams and a model to discuss the three primary effects of the blast: heat, radiation, and blast. Graphics show the blast effect of a traditional bomb on an average house (06:10), and that is then compared to the blast effects of an atomic bomb. The film talks about detonation on impact or below ground level, causing a crater but minimizing the blast radius. The film then charts the size of the affected areas in several British cities, including London, Birmingham, and Glasgow. Animation is used to show the detonation and spread of impact from ground zero over a city (09:30); the film uses a model to show the damage to the city within a quarter-mile from ground zero after the explosion. “Part Two: Heat” reviews the effects of heat flash and discusses the steps to take to minimize damage. One effect of heat is the igniting of small fires (17:45); a woman white-washes window panes as a precaution. A man puts wooden black-out screens over his home’s windows to prevent heat flash from entering (18:41). A woman turns off water and gas mains in the basement of a home (19:41). “Part Three: Radiation” explains the immediate and residual radiation effects of an atomic bomb detonation. Again, the film uses the scenario of a nominal bomb detonating one-thousand feet above a city to show the various effects and explain gamma rays, neutrons, and how to measure radiation. An illustration is used to show appropriate dimensions of bomb shelters that will help protect against radiation.

The film takes place in Doylestown, PA, the county seat for Bucks County, and is filmed from the perspective (and point-of-view) of the County Commissioner. The film also features a young Gene Hackman playing a Regional Civil Defense expert. The film explains how a community shelter plan is developed, beginning with surveys of communities, the decisions that counties must make, how the project is funded by the Office of Civil Defense, the role of the Community Coordinator (who is sent to community planning school), how to educate the public about the plan, and a review of building techniques that help minimize radiation exposure. The film opens with a shot of Doylestown — a main square lined with buildings (01:41). People play and picnic on the grass in the square. The film then shows the exterior of Bucks County Courthouse (02:03). The Civil Defense Director greets the Regional Civil Defense expert (Hackman) inside the courthouse. The men discuss creating a community shelter plan with the Commissioner. People walk in the courthouse’s halls, passing a sign for the building’s fall-out shelter (05:38). The Regional Civil Defense expert explains the flow chart of how to implement a community shelter plan (07:08). In an office, the county’s Community Coordinator oversees the planning process for community shelters (10:07). A citizens committee meets in a board room to discuss the details of the plan (11:07). A woman fetches her mail as children run by her house (12:40). The Civil Defense Director demonstrates a ventilation system for shelters that can be powered by riding a stationary bicycle if there is a loss of power (13:49). The film discusses the need to place multiple shelters in a community, and shows a shopping center that inc...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/218adffd-4161-431f-8a29-9a9500fef972/1cf94169-8ef1-479c-8e5b-fdc1348ef9fd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/59ezKAovv4duXBJ2WbyYKU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1176</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T20:19:18.106Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fYng4G19iCxFTdfdogKrGt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1f3ad666-e251-44a6-819f-74d0e24e3f37.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GAUCHOS OF URUGUAY  1954 SOUTH AMERICA TRAVELOGUE  CATTLE RANCHES &amp; RANCHO SAN PEDRO 63044</video:title><video:description>This is a 1950’s era, black and white movie presented by Columbia Pictures.

The Fair, which covered the 1,216 acres (492 ha) of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park (also the location of the 1964–1965 New York World's Fair), was the second most expensive American world's fair of all time, exceeded only by St. Louis's Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904. Many countries around the world participated in it, and over 44 million people attended its exhibits in two seasons. It was the first exposition to be based on the future, with an opening slogan of "Dawn of a New Day", and it allowed all visitors to take a look at "the world of tomorrow". Within six months of the Fair's opening, World War II began, a war that lasted six years and resulted in the deaths of 50-85 million people.

Some of the details you will see in the film include the Constitution Mall at 1:30, the Court of Peace at 3:26, the Romania exposition at 4:08, Ford Motor Co. building at 5:00, the Futurama Highways of 1960 at 5:20, the fair at night at 7:10, United States Steel Building at 7:26, Consolidated Edison's City of Light at 7:55, the Lagoon of Nations display at 9:00, and more.

With its vast area and prominent location just south of the Theme Center, the Transportation Zone pavilions attracted widespread attention. Perhaps the most popular of the Transportation Zone pavilions was the one built for General Motors. There, the 36,000 square feet (3,300 m2) Futurama exhibit, designed by famed industrial designer and theater set designer Norman Bel Geddes, transported fair visitors over a huge diorama of a fictional section of the United States that was designed with a stunning array of miniature highways, towns, 500,000 individually designed homes, 50,000 miniature vehicles, waterways, and a million miniature trees of diverse species.These elements of the diorama gradually became larger as the visitors, seated in chairs overhead, moved through the exhibit, until the cars and other elements of the exhibit became life-s...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e40037ae-0fce-44a3-84c7-931369e28244/57834916-baf5-49e3-ad10-b516da935ff7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/u9XN7dpiiDyZAt8MnuNuqm</video:player_loc><video:duration>654</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T20:24:10.204Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/boQqhQQTFUKoRJFJ99ubGb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/07f16e4b-a884-4faf-b6ce-b781c5d58421.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>JIM HAWTHORNE'S FUNNY WORLD  1960s SHORT NON-FICTION COMEDY  TV SHOW 93894</video:title><video:description>This film (which actually starts around 1:24, after a U.S. Marine Corps promo) is a collection of five episodes of Jim Hawthorne’s Funny World, a short comedy series from 1960. The first episode starts with footage of a locomotive crashing head-on into another locomotive (1:41). A dentist taps on the teeth of a male lion in a zoo as the lion is restrained by ropes and a piece of wood is used to hold its mouth open. Chickens roost at a “chicken hotel.” Japanese women disembark from a passenger ship.

A woman swims in what the narrator says is the English Channel, and a phonograph is on a boat that is being towed alongside the swimmer. Men use sledgehammers to break a concrete slab resting on a man’s torso (05:48). A “human fly” climbs up the side of a building; another daredevil climbs a building while blindfolded. One man does a handstand on a building’s top. Another man sits on a chair that is balanced on another chair atop a tall building. At an apparent spaghetti eating competition in Italy, men quickly eat piles of spaghetti.

In the third episode of this collection, a car drives up a ramp and over a small shed before crashing. A man walks on stilts across a board between two tall buildings (08:40). A man races down a track in a small pedal car. A woman demonstrates how to tie ground meat into sausage links. A waiter serves food to a table of dogs at a restaurant.

The movie was made in brutally harsh conditions by Captain John Noel, who financed it himself and shot it with a hand-cranked movie camera. The film contains some of the earliest filmed records of life in Tibet and features sequences at Phari Dzong (Pagri), Shekar Dzong (Xegar) and Rongbuk monastery.  Noel, who had tried but failed to get to Everest through Tibet in 1913, released a long version of this documentary as The Epic of Everest in 1924 and lectured extensively around the world with it. 

Filmmaker Captain John Noel was the official photographer on the 1924 British Expedition to Mount Everest. That expedition became legendary in part due to the tragic loss of mountaineers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine, and the film ends with images of the monument erected to both climbers. A title card proclaims that the mountain remains "unconquered." 

John Baptist Lucius Noel (26 February 1890 – 12 March 1989) was an English mountaineer and filmmaker best known for his film of the 1924 Mount Everest expedition. Noel was commissioned into the East Yorkshire Regiment in 1909 and posted to India. Noel's regiment spent summers near the Himalayas and in 1913 he travelled in disguise into Tibet in order to approach Mount Everest. After serving in Europe during the First World War, in 1919 he lectured about his travels near Everest to the Royal Geographical Society. Sir Francis Younghusband used the occasion to call for the ascent of Mount Everest in 1921. Noel eventually became a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS). He joined the 1922 Everest expedition as its official photographer and filmmaker and produced a short film, Climbing Mount Everest (1922).

In 1924, Noel formed a private company which paid for the photographic rights of that year's Everest expedition.

Gable famously requested that he be sent into actual combat. So naturally Hap Arnold decided he should make a movie about his combat group, the 351st Bombardment Group. Gable narrates this complete portrait of his outfit and appears in several short scenes where he interviews his comrades-in-arms. The focus of the film, though, is the group itself, especially the gunners. The film starts just after training is complete and the group flies to England to begin flying actual missions. The film covers all aspects of the lives of the gunners, from actual combat to leisure time, and from goofy hijinks to the gritty reality of seeing your buddies get killed or seriously wounded in combat. The film is quite similar to The Memphis Belle, though perhaps not as engrossing as that film. Still, the film has quite a bit of historical value as a portrait of combat and army life, and is one of the few long-length color documentaries to emerge from the war.

The film starts with a letter from Hap Arnold: "1st Lieutenant Clark Gable is hereby directed to proceed to England ... for making a combat film dealing particularly with the combat phases of aerial gunnery ... ". Initial footage depicts aircraft flying over American mountains, with Gable narrating that this is what they are fighting for. Bob Hope also appears in the film, and the film mostly depicts 351st Bombardment Group life at RAF Polebrook. Combat footage begins three-quarters of the way into the movie and includes take off and return of aircraft. The film depicts a wall poster with target names and, for confirmed kills, swastika stickers. Footage at the end of the film includes a B-17 in an uncontrolled dive with a portion of the horizontal stabilizer missing and shoot-down of Messerschmitt Bf 109s. Intercut with the combat foota...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d5efe7f1-215b-438c-b546-4ab760886cb6/538bfdbf-5f21-48e8-a197-36f641716deb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sqeHivJFNiH2rbZGbfDZCA</video:player_loc><video:duration>3721</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T20:52:28.987Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wF6DM2n9svYajgn7Ak5huh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/46d0a10f-6a5d-499b-b5a7-290eeaf40d36.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ BADLANDS OF SOUTH DAKOTA ” 1940’S HOME MOVIE  MT.

The 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge, the first Tacoma Narrows Bridge, was a suspension bridge in the U.S. state of Washington that spanned the Tacoma Narrows strait of Puget Sound between Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. It opened to traffic on July 1, 1940, and dramatically collapsed into Puget Sound on November 7 of the same year. At the time of its construction (and its destruction), the bridge was the third longest suspension bridge in the world in terms of main span length, behind the Golden Gate Bridge and the George Washington Bridge.

Construction on the bridge began in September 1938. From the time the deck was built, it began to move vertically in windy conditions, which led to construction workers giving the bridge the nickname Galloping Gertie. The motion was observed even when the bridge opened to the public. Several measures aimed at stopping the motion were ineffective, and the bridge's main span finally collapsed under 40-mile-per-hour (64 km/h) wind conditions the morning of November 7, 1940.

Following the collapse, the United States' involvement in World War II delayed plans to replace the bridge. The portions of the bridge still standing after the collapse, including the towers and cables, were dismantled and sold as scrap metal. Nearly 10 years after the bridge collapsed, a new Tacoma Narrows Bridge opened in the same location, using the original bridge's tower pedestals and cable anchorages. The portion of the bridge that fell into the water now serves as an artificial reef.

The bridge's collapse had a lasting effect on science and engineering. In many physics textbooks, the event is presented as an example of elementary forced resonance, with the wind providing an external periodic frequency that matched the bridge's natural structural frequency, though the actual caus...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bc8add89-26f0-48a6-869b-db145e72c14b/b1e685e5-98de-4827-b811-8fd8c499f268-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/phmJoLnYLesaz36nhwW67K</video:player_loc><video:duration>588</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T20:54:13.913Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jPSSfpUnz2rgjAcYAczPY5</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/67a6d73c-6d8e-4cdb-a036-eff732f41da1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LOCKHEED T2V-1 JET TRAINER / T-1 SEASTAR U.S. NAVY TRAINING PLANE PERFORMANCE FEATURES 84304</video:title><video:description>This is a 1960’s era, color movie called T2V-1 Jet Trainer Design and Performance Features, produced by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, California Division.

The film opens with footage of the Wright Brothers flying one of their first planes at Fort Myer, VA, and Charles Lindbergh’s plane flying in the sky. American CAP cadets climb into an Air Force transport plane to head to Europe as part of the International Air Cadet Exchange program. The film shows viewers a little back story to CAP cadets training prior to participation in the program. CAP planes take off from an airstrip. CAP cadets march in a drill in Sherman, TX. Cadets train in pilot seats as well as in the classroom. Cadets fly Lockheed P-80 Shooting Stars with their trainers. The film then cuts to the start of the exchange program, beginning with the cadets’ arrival in England. CAP cadets look at the British Parliament from across the Thames (04:58). The film also shows other scenes from London. CAP Cadets are reviewed by British Air Marshal Sir Douglas Macfadyen (06:00), before visiting the Royal Air Force Hawkinge Base in Dover where they study a British Spitfire. The American cadets greet British police officers, then head to Buckingham Palace where Queen Elizabeth II and her family appear on a balcony (06:54).

Metalworking and surface renewal is used wherever surfaces get worn or need replacement, 1:30. Corrosion is a big problem with water towers, 3:29. Bridges and similar structures metallize protecting from corrosion. Metalizing surfaces can actually improve the strength, durability and utility of the original material at a fraction of the original cost, 4:20. The food industry is served at every level through metallizing. All phases of metalworking are dependent on machine tools, 5:30. Television and telephones use metallization, 6:15. Ceramic coatings are at the forefront of many industries, 8:03. Mobile, R3 ceramic gun, 8:11. Powdered materials as a source of supply, 8:20. Metallizing jet spraying package, 8:30. Mobile F-12 sprayer, 8:51. Wire is the material that feeds these metallizing sprayers, 9:18. Hand spraying metallizing can provide protection in 3 ways, length, width and thickness. Ceramic being applied to steel for surface renewal, 10:45. Coating engine valves with aluminum, 10:59. Metallizing protects even the very guns that are doing the resurface spraying, 11:10. Gun movement designed by geometry, 11:30. Preparing the raw surface at the start will control the surface finish at the end, electric bonding is one form of surface preparation, 12:00. Heating the metal before resurfacing can be the best method, 13:40. Machining surfaces in any number of ways is also a good way to resurface your material, 14:14. Flame spray is the metallizing way, 14:35. Looking to the future with a hand-held metallizing gun, with an electric arc jet, 15:16. The new electric arc jet is hotter, faster and it has better cling, greater volume, better adhesion, denser patterns, instant start and instant stop, 15:30.

As part of his journey he shot this astonishing film which shows what appears to be the pastoral German state, but was actually a nation on the brink of war. Unlike many of the films from this era which have been colorized, Andrica actually shot this motion picture on Kodachrome stock.  Although the material is silent the footage is astonishing, and includes no less personage than Adolph Hitler in its closing sequence. Rarely seen, this material was once thought to be lost. This print was recently rediscovered and preserved in HD.

Beginning in 1944, the regiment fought primarily in the European Theatre, in particular Italy, southern France, and Germany.

The film, which may have been shot by one of the Regiment's corpsman Toshi Kuge, begins with shots in a WWII graveyard where presumably members of the 442nd lie at rest. At :55 a wreath of Hawaiian native flowers is placed. At 1:08 the group visits a waterfall. At 1:20 what might be a sugar cane plantation is seen in operation, with trucks moving grass. At 2:20 the sun sets over Hawaii. At 2:50 members of the group wrapped in blankets visit one of Hawaii's volcanoes. At 3:50 a dog watches its master play the trumpet. At 4:00 sweeping views of a bay are seen, probably on Kauai. At 6:00 Waimea Canyon is shown. At 10:21 are views of what might be Ft. Shafter. At 11:38 a Japanese-American family poses on the tarmac at the Hawaii airport before departing the magical islands via a Northwest propeller plane. At 13:08 the Northwest Airlines terminal is seen possibly in Oakland, California.

The 442nd Regiment is the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. Created as the 442d Regimental Combat Team when it was activated February 1, 1943, the unit quickly grew to its fighting complement of 4,000 men by April 1943. During action in WWII, these 4,000 had to be replaced nearly two times, with a total of about 14,000 men served, earning 9,486 Purple Hearts. The unit was awarded eight Presidential Unit Citations (five earned in one month).Twenty-one of its members were awarded Medals of Honor. In 2010, the Congressional Gold Medal was awarded to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and associated units who served during WWII,[6] and in 2012, all surviving members were made chevaliers of the French...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0c908753-143e-4794-888e-b7dde7b09525/7b9cdba9-9475-42cb-9a89-3a790e4b9df0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2xZkmcN5aMrHWiP6yBZ9tg</video:player_loc><video:duration>808</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T21:58:41.905Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wGzzKzKubV8BJ6SMHtSKXZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/979a3991-5c96-4edd-9cc1-02998ea87de6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>TV NEWS "BEHIND THE SCENES"  1970s ACTION NEWS DOCUMENTARY w/ GERALDO RIVERA &amp; ROGER GRIMSBY 61604</video:title><video:description>The World Of Work’s “TV News: Behind The Scenes” is a 1973 episode from Encyclopaedia Britannica Films that shows viewers the day’s operations required to broadcast a news program.

Beginning in 1944, the regiment fought primarily in the European Theatre, in particular Italy, southern France, and Germany.

The film, which may have been shot by one of the Regiment's corpsman Toshi Kuge, begins with shots in the mainland before showing aerial footage of the approach to Honolulu at 1:37. At 2:33, members of the group deplane off a Northwest Airlines plane. At 2:37 are shots of what might be Fort Shafter. At 3:40 a solemn ceremony is held in honor of the unit at a cemetery. At 5:37 are views of Honolulu and Diamond Head. At 7:30 are shots at a luau. At 8:30 stacks of soft drinks are seen on Waikiki Beach and there are shots of the resorts (this footage may have been shot from the swim stadium area). At 10:30 women in grass skirts perform a hula dance. At 12:50 the group visits one of Hawaii's volcanoes. 

The 442nd Regiment is the most decorated unit in U.S. military history. Created as the 442d Regimental Combat Team when it was activated February 1, 1943, the unit quickly grew to its fighting complement of 4,000 men by April 1943. During action in WWII, these 4,000 had to be replaced nearly two times, with a total of about 14,000 men served, earning 9,486 Purple Hearts. The unit was awarded eight Presidential Unit Citations (five earned in one month).Twenty-one of its members were awarded Medals of Honor. In 2010, the Congressional Gold Medal was awarded to the 442nd Regimental Combat Team and associated units who served during WWII,[6] and in 2012, all surviving members were made chevaliers of the French Légion d'Honneur for their actions contributing to the liberation of France and their heroic rescue of the Lost Battalion. The unit's motto is "Go for Broke".

On 23 January 1960, Jacques Piccard (son of the boat's designer Auguste Piccard) and US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh achieved the goal of Project Nekton.

Trieste was the first manned vessel to have reached the bottom of the Challenger Deep.

This historic documentary 3700 METERS BELOW THE SEA shows the first tests of the bathyscaphe Trieste, made with the help of the Italian Navy in the summer of 1953 near Capri.  The first deep dive took inventor Auguste Piccard and his son Jacques to 1080 meters. A few days later, the Trieste reached over 3000 meters off the island of Ponza. Auguste Piccard retired after this record setting dive. Trieste was operated by the French Navy but after several years of operation in the Mediterranean Sea, the Trieste was purchased by the United States Navy in 1958 for $250,000.

Passengers board a Pan American DC-8-32 (1:45). A teacher uses a globe to explain seasons to middle-school children. Shown are paintings of Sir Isaac Newton and Immanuel Kant. A high school student reads Kant’s “Critique del la Raison Pratique” in a library. Glancing at his watch, he runs out and down a street, dodges 1960s British vehicles, and waits for his girlfriend. He drops a cigarette butt and grinds it out with his brown loafer. She runs to him, with London landmarks seen as a backdrop (1:55-3:42). A female college student with a late 1960s bobbed haircut studies Einstein’s Theory of Relativity (3:43-4:19).  A wooden mechanical clock spins (4:21). Pages are turned on a 1966 calendar; calendars are shown from various years (4:28-5:12). Adjustments are made and the roof opens so that a telescope at an observatory can view the nighttime sky. The Photographic Zenith Tube moves into place. Computers in the control room record the information on punch cards. These are viewed (5:38-7:00).

The unit provided  Air Defense of western Europe throughout the 1960s-90s in Munich vicinity. Its last assignment was with the 86th Operations Group, based at Ramstein Air Base, Germany. It was inactivated on 1 July 1994.  The film shows the unit's new F-86, meaning the film likely dates to summer of 1953, the squadron completed its move to Landstuhl and was reequipped with the F-86F Sabre Jet, the first unit in USAFE to fly the most modern American fighter. The F-86F had been very successful as both a fighter and fighter bomber in the Korean War, and marked a quantum increase in the Wing’s capabilities. A year later the squadron was redesignated the 526th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron and assumed a new mission of air defense for the central European region. For this mission, the squadron was re-equipped with the rocket-armed F-86D Sabre interceptor which provided an all-weather capability.

The film begins with a car moving at high speed on German roads and then pilots are shown arriving for a "day's work" at :51. At 1:05 the Commanding Officer arrives in a big convertible car, which is then revealed to be a scooter lol! At 1:40 everyone celebrates the arrival of the F-86s but they are then killed by the engine. Further antics are seen throughout this hilarious film.

NOTE: IF YOU ARE COMING FROM PART 1, START AT TIMECODE 14:28

More than 13,000 men were killed during WWII era flight training. “Learn and Live with Joe Instructor” was an attempt to lower the number of losses, by emphasizing to pilots how to fly safely, and not give into the urge or temptation to hot dog, show off or not pay attention in the sky.
In part 2, a flight instructor visits Pilot Heaven and has a discussion with an angel about a large number of pilots that have died and gone to heaven due to avoidable reasons. The flight instructor and the angel look at several cases of pilots that have died due to their own negligence. These cases include not reporting damages, allowing your instruments to freeze over, not checking flight information like weather, and doing irresponsible things like acrobatics at low altitudes. The film uses humor to convey the central message that pilots and aircraft are needed for war and therefore should not be lost due to negligence and that lives can be saved when you learn.

In addition to demonstrating the functions of the Navy's frogmen commandos, the film reflects the excitement of parachute jump training to the quite of jungle patrols. The film opens with Navy SEALs (of what appears to Underwater Demolition Team II) paddling a boat down a river; the men leave the river and head into the jungle for a reconnaissance mission. New SEALs listen to a commander during training (02:30). The men exercise on a field, do pullups, and carry boats while singing. Later, the frogmen put on masks and jump out of a raft moving along a body of water at a fast pace (05:44). The boat comes back around to retrieve the men, who hook their arms on a rope loop to move back into the boat. A member of Underwater Demolition Team II explains an Emerson Scuba Rig to the new SEALs (06:58). Underwater footage shows the SEALs moving just above the water’s floor (07:26), presumably with the Emerson rig. At Fort Benning, GA, the men train by jumping out of a Chinook helicopter into water (08:00), repelling down a line to simulate a parachute jump (08:32), and experience parachute openings while training on a four-armed tower (09:42). The SEALs graduate to parachuting out of a plane during an actual training jump (10:44). Several SEALs participate in a HALO jump (High Altitude, Low Opening). The SEALs participate in a patrol mission during a realistic training (12:20). “Enemy” targets (spring-loaded targets) spring up and the SEALs quickly shoot them. Two men practice hand-to-hand combat and fighting techniques (14:05). The men repel down a rocky face (14:48), moving as quickly as possible. In the classroom, the SEALs learn basic Vietnamese (15:50). An aerial view shows viewers Vietnam and what appears to be the Mekong River (17:10). At a base in Vietnam, the SEALs’ platoon l...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/be77c915-cd63-40b1-b1b8-4453fd33599c/751104b1-1ca9-4209-be55-6a9708bb83be-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pw9ze5KqWyMsVbTrRmwGcN</video:player_loc><video:duration>1683</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T22:51:25.458Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oZgwvkyzJxC1Roiu3NN5ru</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4e7ee7e2-6e9e-476a-85e4-c87fbe7b1838.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"EVALUATING A NATION"  1950s ARMED FORCES INFORMATION FILM   COLD WAR 40084</video:title><video:description>Evaluating a Nation (AFIF 18) is a short Cold War film from 1951 on how the U.S. evaluates the strength and security of a nation (in terms of susceptibility to Soviet influence), based on that country’s geography, climate, natural resources, and population. The film opens with footage of fighting during World War II, Adolf Hitler, and a shot of the United Nations builidng in New York City. Members of the U.N. General Assembly gather in one of the building’s halls. Italian citizens vote in an election (01:31). This is followed by footage of what appears to be Italian soldiers or police attacking civilians in the streets. People walk by Greece’s Athenian Acropolis. Nazi paratroopers drop into Greece. Chinese streets are crowded with people and goods. Spain’s Francisco Franco waves to supporters. The film discusses the different aspects the U.S. considers when evaluating a nation and then uses Czechoslovakia as a case study for the process. Czech men cut grain and load it onto a truck (05:44). The film shows viewers some shots of the country’s urban areas (streets and buildings). Coal miners toil in a mine (06:27). A religious procession moves through a street (06:43). Nazi forces march into Czechoslovakia (07:15). The film then shows the portrait of Professor Karl Haushofer (10:52), a German general, geographer, and politician. A crowd of Nazi sympathizers gather to hear Hitler speak (11:06).

The Inter-American Cooperative Service of Public Health was founded in 1942 as a joint venture between the United States and Peru, as part of the U.S. “Good Neighbor Policy” to improve U.S.-Latin America relations. The film opens with a young woman dressed in black placing a bouquet of flowers before a mausoleum vault (0:33). Narration explains that her father, a miner, died of lung disease, along with her young nephew, the same year she finished medical training. Due to this, she decided to become a nurse. She sits down at a desk among other nurses-in-training, all wearing white uniforms (1:06). A Peruvian nursing pin at 1:22. The nurse looks at a thermometer while caring for a child with typhoid fever from contaminated water (1:32); narration explains that she starts thinking about preventative health and “protecting the health and happiness of her compatriots.” A group of primarily men in suits gather around a table (2:03) at the Inter-American Cooperative Service of Public Health. Nurses disembark from a SCISP vehicle to go to a public health training course at the Preventative Health Center in Lima, Peru; a plaque at 2:41 acknowledges that it was built in cooperation with the United States. A doctor examines a patient; a nutritionist does a cooking demonstration in front of a class (2:57). Components of the 9-month training course are shown, including blood analysis, maternal hygiene, and anti-tuberculosis vaccination. Some nurses are sent to rural areas to promote potable water; a man leads a horse to collect water from the Ucayali River (3:56). A sanitation engineer builds a latrine (4:33). In Chimbote, doctors examine a lung x-ray from a man with the same disease that killed the nurse’s father; laboratory experts take samples of the factory...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5dc7bb52-7056-42f2-bc2d-badcd5012f3f/beb3e7ce-448a-4d65-a94c-082cbe9ce7a5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/czEoWpnBLXyaCb92SuMjbK</video:player_loc><video:duration>513</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T22:58:59.156Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qBt4VuWqXzRixGxLQDEZZu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e317b677-1698-4c6e-ac22-9e68a70bc535.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY WWII BASIC FLIGHT INSTRUCTION FILM "FLYING SENSE" 34934</video:title><video:description>Produced in 1944, "Flying Sense" was one of a series of instructional films made for U.S. Navy aviation candidates.  It was directed by Robert "Bob" Taylor, a Hollywood legend who starred in over 80 films including "Waterloo Bridge" and "Bataan". Taylor was given the rank of a lieutenant in the Naval Reserves and was active as a flight instructor during the war. The other star in this and the other films in the series (which include "Before You Fly", "First Flight", "Take-Offs", "Landings" and "Racetrack Patterns") is the Stearman N2S trainer, aka "The Yellow Peril." This two-seat biplane represented the first step up into the air for tens of thousands. Like the other films in this series, "Flying Sense" offers a unique insight into wartime flight training and uses humorous vignettes, vivid illustrations and cutting edge animations to get its point across.

This glorious silent film shows the National Junior Air Races, held in Cleveland, Ohio. The Scripps-Howard National Junior Air Races are almost completely forgotten, but in the 1930s and 40s they represented the premiere competitive arena for aircraft modelers, radio-control and control line pilots.  This rare silent home movie dates to 1939 - 1942, but probably 1942. It was shot by a member of the Cleveland Press staff.  It shows many of the events at the Races, including the weigh-in that started the days' activities.  According to a Pittsburg Press article the 1939 competition offered $25 wrist watches as rewards which included an American Airlines Trophy and Roscoe Turner Award for the best entries.  Various newspapers sponsored the regional competitions, as you can see from the t-shirts many of the contestants are wearing.  The 1939 contest featured nearly 1000 spectators and special guests that included Roscoe Turner and Major Al Williams.

This testing was to prevent the same accidents that had befallen the in-flight break-ups of the de Havilland DH 106 Comet in 1953. The 707 made its first flight July 15, 1954. A Boeing 707 flies overhead (:22-:57). A fuselage explodes during a controlled pressure test. A full-scale 707 fuselage is installed on a steel jig to form a pressure chamber.  Gauges and dials are installed and sealed. Results are recorded on a photographic siligraph (:58-2:19). An illustration of the basic design is shown. The results of the first crack propagation tests show the chamber top is blown open. A graph is shown illustrating its cause (2:20-3:27).  An illustration of the shear tie design is shown. Crack propagation tests show some local damage. An aluminum sheet is riveted over the cracks before the next test was conducted. Blades are dropped in the center of the panel, causing catastrophic failure. The damaged fuselage is shown (3:28-5:38). An illustration of the strap design is shown. The guillotine blades are dropped again, and they pass through (5:39-6:46). An illustration of the 4th fuselage panel configuration is shown with the new improvements learned as a result of the first three tests. Spot welding was substituted for rivets in part of the panel, which is shown. Saw cuts made did not propagate through the straps or the contiguous skin. A series of seven blade drops are shown penetrating the panel without causing the structural integrity to fail (6:47-9:14). The final illustration is of the 707 tear resistant structure that incorporated all of the added tested features (9:15-9:58). A Boeing 707 flies over (9:59-10:08).

This version is not complete and originates from a reduction print made from 35mm to 16mm. The film was presented by the Morrow Film Company and originally released in 1915. While of varying quality, this incredible compilation of German newsreel footage gives a rare glimpse into WWI.  Wilbur H. Durborough spent seven months with the German army in Russia and Turkey, as well as on other fronts, and shot 16,000 feet of film. The Industrial Moving Picture Co. of Chicago edited the film to the nine reel length seen here. All of the film, which was produced in conjunction with Oswald F. Schuette, a Chicago Daily News war correspondent, was shot with two Universal cameras. The film opened in Milwaukee on November 28, 1915. It opened in Chicago on December 6, 1915. The net profits of the showings at the Park Theater in Chicago were to go to the American Red Cross for use in war-stricken countries without discrimination. Durborough lectured during some of the showings. According to an ad for the film, Durborough was seen in at least fifty percent of the film's scenes. This statement was made to establish the film's authenticity. A film with a similar title, Germany on the Firing Line, which was exhibited in New York in January 1916, was advertised as being taken by the German government.  

The film begins with images of the Sultan of Turkey reviewing navy units at :26. At 1:10 German sharpshooters are shown going into action. At 1:52 a machinegun position is shown. At 2:05 a fake gun is shown being used to fool enemy forces during a retreat. At 4:00 Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria is seen with his staff.  5:19 French prisoners are moved to detention camps. 5:49 German gun pits. 7:00 Bavarian cavalry charges enemy trenches. 7:57 Brussels falls to the victorious Germans. 11:19 a shattered Belgian village is seen as a resul...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3e72ae26-bd85-4895-a6ac-cd20a04478ce/c3e3da5a-ad3e-4a13-9d76-758dac8210e4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8HfXgKQqZEbJEB84oAKoAJ</video:player_loc><video:duration>2690</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T23:19:52.643Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/b5iVkokiCC2y1G8Jz4jsVe</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a05d8eb3-a21c-4dde-91b9-61b6c62a4f3d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ARMY BALLISTICS WWII RESEARCH BLOCKBUSTER 4000 LB. BOMB EXPLOSIVE TESTS</video:title><video:description>This is a silent film.  Created by the Ballistics Research Laboratory at Aberdeen, Maryland this movie shows tests of 4000 lb "blockbuster" munitions, most likely the Mark V and Mark VI.  Blockbuster or "cookie" was the name given to several of the largest conventional bombs used in World War II by the Royal Air Force (RAF). The term blockbuster was originally a name coined by the press and referred to a bomb which had enough explosive power to destroy an entire city block.  The bombs then called Blockbusters were the RAF's HC (High Capacity) bombs. These bombs had especially thin casings that allowed them to contain approximately three-quarters of their weight in explosive, with a 4,000 pound bomb containing over 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg) of Amatol. Most General-purpose bombs (termed Medium Capacity—or MC—by the RAF) contained 50% explosive by weight, the rest being made up of the fragmentation bomb casing. Blockbusters got larger as the war progressed, from the original 4,000 pounds (1,800 kg) version, up to 12,000 pounds (5,400 kg).
The Mark 1 4000 lb bomb was a welded, cylindrical shell, made of 0.31-inch (7.9 mm) thick steel. The body of the bomb was 30 inches (76 cm) in diameter and 88 inches (2.2 m) long with a total overall length of 115 inches. The nose of the bomb was conical and a 27-inch (69 cm) long cylindrical tail was fitted (a lightweight, empty cylinder with a closed end). A T-section steel beam was welded to the inner surface of the bomb to strengthen it. Subsequent Mark II and Mark III HC bombs differed in detail; the conical nose was replaced with a domed nose and the number of fuzes was increased from one to three, in order to guarantee detonation. The Mark IV bomb did not have the T-section beam. The Mark V and Mark VI bombs were versions manufactured in the United States. The larger 8,000 lb bomb was constructed from two 4,000 lb sections that fitted together with bolts, although these sections were of a larger 38 in (97 cm) diameter.[3] A 12...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/519567ad-f9c6-4f16-b620-04e60ce92957/80527ce6-3930-4da8-abd4-e454925312a8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/b5iVkokiCC2y1G8Jz4jsVe</video:player_loc><video:duration>1022</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T23:23:18.670Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gnxcbUpwnKcQZBpX6kgArL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f7b96264-7994-48c8-b5d2-dce80c69cd00.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1947-1949 OCCUPIED JAPAN &amp; OKINAWA HOME MOVIE SHOT BY AMERICAN SOLDIER  YOKOTA AIR BASE   34784</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

When Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, the only American, and in fact the only neutral filmmaker in the country, was Julien Bryan. He arrived in Warsaw in early September with a cache of roughly an hour's worth of 35mm motion-picture negative. Given open access to the city by the mayor, he filmed day and night for two weeks, documenting Warsaw's destruction and Germany's inexorable advance. Back in New York he assembled the footage into a ten-minute newsreel called Siege.

This documents the work of the Seabees / CBs Construction Battalion Detachment (CBD) and their search for oil in Alaska and the arctic. The group boasted geologists, petroleum engineers, driller (oil), tool pushers, roustabouts and roughnecks.  Congress earmarked $1,000,000 for Operation Pet 4 and it was decided to send them to Alaska to determine if there was actually oil in NPR 4 (U.S. Navy Petroleum Reserve No. 4), an area that had been set aside in the oil reserve 20 years earlier.The area is known today as the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. The Detachment's mission was: to do a detailed geologic study, do core hole drilling, do deep well drilling, as well as do aerial and overland pipeline surveys. In 1944 a base camp was constructed a Point Barrow. During the summer of 1945 the Seabees drilled a 2000 foot wildcat designated Seabee 1 (wildcat wells) before being shut down by the cold. The well site was near 3 petroleum seepages in the Umiat area in the very south-east of NPR 4. The rock in the area was from the Upper Cretaceous and has been named the "Seabee Formation". In 1946 civilians took over for the Seabees some of whom had been members of CBD 1058 and were hired immediately upon discharge to continue in the same job they had performed for the Navy." The Navy drew upon the cold weather experience it learned from CBD 1058 and applied it in Operation Highjump and Operation Deep Freeze.

The crawler-type crane with 30-foot boom has a specially developed sling that moves eight fuel drums. The engine heat is directed into the cab. Ice grousers have been added to the flat pad tracks (1:40-2:25). A smaller cherry picker crane moves objects. The cab is modified with double plexiglass windows. The air intake is shown on a larger cherry picker (2:26-3:05).

The film opens with shots of the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff, AZ, and of Arizona’s rocky plateau. Hopi Indians stand on adobe homes with wagons out front. Hopi people dance along a dirt road during what appears to be a Kachina celebration (01:10). A man gives a Kachina to a young girl. The film shows several different Kachina dolls (02:15), each representing something different. Renowned carver Jimmy Kewanwytewa creates a Kachina Mana doll (02:33). Next, he creates a headdress for the doll, using a piece of sandstone to smooth the wood. He then paints the doll. Kewanwytewa admires his finished doll (05:08). The film shows more Kachina dolls, then cuts back to the Hopi dance (05:50). Men dance using juniper boughs as part of the ceremony. A man (it appears to be Kewanwytewa) and his daughter walk on a dirt road with the San Francisco Peaks looming in the background (07:25). He gives her the Kachina doll.

Hopi katsina figures (Hopi language: tithu or katsintithu), also known as kachina dolls, are figures carved, typically from cottonwood root, by Hopi people to instruct young girls and new brides about katsinas or katsinam, the immortal beings that bring rain, control other aspects of the natural world and society, and act as messengers between humans and the spirit world. 

Hopi people live primarily on three mesas in northeastern Arizona, about 70 miles from Flagstaff. In Hopi cosmology, the majority of katsinas reside on the Humphreys Peak, approximately 60 miles west of the Hopi Reservation. Each year, throughout the period from winter solstice to mid-July, these spirits, in the form of katsinas, come down to the villages to dance and sing, to bring rain for the upcoming harvest, and to give gifts to the children. 

The katsinas are known to be the sp...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0bc98dae-0300-4b90-b7a0-73f121aaed3b/ebee7f4b-f732-460c-b1fb-fcfcb798841f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2sqsWqSnafYRiZDhRSPG9T</video:player_loc><video:duration>490</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T23:32:09.311Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5Mg5ExPJde134MiFu1AWPT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/741a9627-4769-4b02-abfe-ecaa4bbff0b7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOHN F.

The bulletin begins with a segment on air combat support. Footage from cameras on U.S. planes show German planes being shot out of the air and the strafing of German ground targets, including trains. “Piggyback” planes fly toward Allied lines (also known as Mistel, “Piggyback” planes refer to composite aircraft with an unmanned component filled with fuel to serve as a bomb); North American P-51 Mustangs of the 8th Air Force shoot down the German aircraft combination of Focke-Wulf 190 fighters and Junkers 88 twin-engine bombers. A fighter squadron shoots at grounded German planes at an enemy air field, and the grounded planes are hit, burn, and produce thick smoke. The next segment shows the Allied crossing of the Rhine as the U.S. Navy and Army engineers oversee the surprisingly smooth operation. LCMs and LCVPs are trucked past Massbracht (03:02) and to the Rhine. Army engineers use cranes to move the boats from the trucks into the river (03:50). Tanks and men move onto the landing craft and are ferried across the river. An aerial shot shows the German town of Wesel (04:30). The next update takes viewers to an air base in England, where British Stirling bombers of the British 6th Airborne wait for the mission. Men climb into the planes. U.S. airborne units in France prepare to take off in gliders (06:00). Nylon ropes hook the Waco CG-4A gliders to the Douglas C-47 Skytrain tow ships. The C-47s and CG-4As take off (06:37), carrying the 194th Glider Infantry Regiment. In England, the Stirling bombers take off with Hamilcar and Horsa gliders (07:30).

Part 2: https://youtu.be/SwgcdqlrXzU

Produced by the Army Film and Photographic Unit and the Royal Air Force Film Production Unit, this black-and-white film is Part 1 of “Desert Victory,” exploring the Battle for North Africa during World War II. The picture is dedicated to the men of the Eight Army. With that, the scene moves to a barren landscape at mark 01:30. At mark 04:00, the film takes the viewer to El Alamein, where two decisive battles in 1942 had taken place. We are shown Field Marshal Claude Auchinleck, a British Army commander who was Commander-in-Chief of the Middle East theatre (but later relieved of command during the crucial Alamein campaign). The British are shown successfully defending their position from German artillery and fighters near mark 06:00, and at mark 07:00 are visited by Prime Minister Winston Churchill in August 1942. (The British Eighth Army had all but exhausted itself after the first battle of El Alamein in July 1942, and the visit was as much a morale boost for the troops as it was a review of Auchinleck, who was replaced as Commander-in-Chief Middle East Command by General Harold Alexander). Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery was named commander of the Eighth Army.Alexander’s primary mission as commander was to take on and defeat German Field Marshall Erwin Rommell, whose control of much of Egypt threatened the British Commonwealth’s Suez Canal. To that end, the film reminds its viewer (at mark 08:30) that British men and women at home were at work in factories to make certain supplies and armaments were always being made available. Scenes of workers on assembly lines and in aircraft factories fill the screen, and at mark 09:37, the viewer is told that workers in the United States are also contributing to the war effort, especially in the creation of the Sherman tank.At mark 13:51, we catch a glimpse of Rommel in some of the captured German footage, and ex...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/28c061b2-73e5-4a5d-92d1-7c53a1778130/bcc13b03-e609-4ba4-991d-4f8ad7bc1aa7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/62SdjTpU9qfmTJAqq4BLME</video:player_loc><video:duration>1835</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-07T23:49:56.526Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/b2p6DiwNJD2MwQV81xX5iU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/51465ab0-210e-4074-884a-55074cba5e4f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s JAPAN TRAVELOGUE MOVIE  TOKYO  IMPERIAL HOTEL  LAKE CHUZENJI  MIKIMOTO PEARL FARM 55974</video:title><video:description>Created in the 1930s by the D.W.

Grussing and produced by Martin Bovey Films in the mid-1940s for the Minneapolis-Moline Company, takes viewers on a short tour of America’s northeast. The film opens with shots of New England food, statues, beaches, rocky coasts, and covered bridges. Rural snow-covered New England (01:22) beckons to visitors with its scenic houses, fields, and churches. People check and empty buckets of sap on tapped maple trees (01:57). A man drives a tractor to plow the ground in spring. Another man plows a field with yoke and oxen. The film shows blooming flowers and apple blossoms (03:12), as well as several bird species nesting in the spring foliage. Next, the film takes viewers to Plymouth Harbor (03:56) and Plymouth Rock. In Boston, viewers are treated to Charlestown Navy Yard and the old naval frigate Constitution. Other highlights of Boston include Faneuil Hall (04:40), Bunker Hill Monument, the home of Paul Revere, and Monroe Tavern. The film then visits Lexington Green, the site of America’s “shot heard ‘round the world.” Concord, MA is where the homes of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Louisa May Alcott are located. In Cambridge, the film shows Henry Longfellow’s home and Henry Ford’s grist mill. Viewers then see the famous House of Seven Gables (08:44) in Salem. The film also shows the campuses of Harvard and Yale, and farms and villages of the region. It then takes viewers to Litchfield, CT, where Harriet Beecher Stowe was born. Historic Deerfield, MA features beautiful old houses (10:06), while the Connecticut Valley is home to large tobacco farms. Water is a major attraction in New England, and the film provides footage of rivers, covered bridges, people canoeing on a river, and waves of the Atlantic Ocean hitting a sandy beach (11:28). Viewers also see the rocky coast of Maine, a couple relaxing on sand between rocky outcroppings, and the rotting hulls of old ships. Old whaling ships are preserved at Mystic, CT (12:53).

The film opens with a shot of a clock tower at what appears to be a community center. Men and women leave their homes and places of work to head to their weekly Civil Air Patrol meeting. Civil Air Patrol men gather on a grassy air field next to a biplane and another single prop plane. A pilot flies a plane (possibly a J-3 aircraft) over the ocean during a patrol. Pilots taxi a plane out onto a runway (03:04). Congress meets (03:28) to make the Civil Air Patrol an official auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. CAP cadets go to classes in a variety of buildings (schools, bases, etc.) throughout the U.S. Students review the CAP manual. Cadets are taught the parts of an airplane (05:26). The film shows cadets training in the classroom, studying airplane engines (06:39), working models of plane mechanisms, and training in flight simulators (07:14). Young cadets practice sending codes (07:47) and drill in a field (08:47). CAP cadets observe aircraft at a local airport (09:37). A young cadet goes for a flight with a pilot. Cadets study weather patterns at a weather control station (10:25). Cadets exit what appears to be a Beechcraft AT-7 transport plane (10:44) at an Air Force base for a two-week training program. Cadets stand at attention. They learn about guns, radar, and how to respond to a plane crash (11:46). A cadet sits in the co-pilot seat during a flight. The young men and women of the CAP training program play softball, dance, and visit nearby points of interest, including Mt. Rushmore (12:39). Young cadets receive their CAP certificate (13:05). CAP members fly over a forest on an observation mission. A wounded person is loaded into a CAP plane.

The sailor was stationed aboard the aircraft carrier USS Essex, CV-9, and must have had some pull as he was allowed to film flight operations and even shot the ship from the rescue helicopter. Most likely this was in 1953 as part of the so-called "Peace Patrol".  The aircraft in use in this period include Douglas A-1 Skyraiders as well as the McDonnell F2H Banshee. At 5:46 an aircraft makes repeated passes on the carrier before the barrier is raised at 5:58. At 7:15 a heavy cruiser or battleship passes close by and at 7:34 some brass arrive on the ship via helicopter. At 7:56 a bos'ns chair is used to move personnel between the carrier and a destroyer. At 8:46 the ship is in port, although it's unclear precisely where, it's clearly somewhere in South Korea based on the flags flying. At 9:30 a parade is seen. At 10:30, street scenes in South Korea. At 10:45, a civilian who appears to be a journalist boards the ship. At 11:00 a title card announces "back to Tokyo and hence to Okinawa". At 11:38 the Kadena Air Base is seen on Okinawa. At 12:00, there is a brief visit to Hong Kong with its bustling streets and rickshaws. 

The ship served three tours in Far Eastern waters during the Korean War. She served as flagship for Carrier Division 1 (CarDiv 1) and Task Force 77. She was the first carrier to launch F2H Banshees on combat missions; on 16 September 1951, one of these planes, damaged in combat, crashed into aircraft parked on the forward flight deck causing an explosion and fire which killed seven. After repairs at Yokosuka, she returned to frontline action on 3 October to launch strikes up to the Yalu River and provide close air support for U.N. troops. Her two deployments in the Korean War were from August 1951 – March 1952 and July 1952 – January 1953.

On 1 December 1953, she started her final tour of the war, sailing in the East China Sea with what ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/668f7743-4194-4d36-b23f-fc0e273a47fa/08f2ec6d-2c92-49f5-a058-20fa88345caf-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dExGStn8LqRjBRNay4QVcq</video:player_loc><video:duration>826</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T00:21:56.018Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jMhXBd5iuoGZTg3f9wPvSD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3af1587f-ac6b-418d-aebb-b036751dd6c2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FISHER BODY  "THE BODYBUILDERS"  GENERAL MOTORS 1970s AUTO ASSEMBLY LINE FILM  44164</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

The Bodybuilders is a color documentary filmed by Fisher Body between 1970 and 1972. Fisher Body was an automobile coachbuilder founded by the Fisher brothers in 1908, in Detroit, Michigan, and was dissolved in 1984 to be blended into General Motors.

The film opens showing industrial metal stamping machinery, presses, and sewing machines all  doing their work making automobile parts that are to be assembled into Chevrolet Monte Carlos (0:08-2:00). The Bodybuilders begin with product engineers who produce the concepts and ways of accomplishing those concepts (2:19-3:41). Computer printer (3:42-3:45). Engineers study new concepts and their cost (3:47-4:32). Stylists put those ideas on paper (4:33-5:23). A Monte Carlo by Chevrolet assembled in 6 manufacturing plants from 1970-1972 (5:24-5:51). They then focus on the comfort factor of roof, seats, seating space (5:52-6:13). When all this is done final approval of the styling concept is given (6:13-6:26). The design is then modeled in clay (6:27-6:48). Electronic system called an electronic surface recorder is used to put clay dimensions into engineering drawings (6:52-7:12). Photogrammetry is used to determine moldings and glass openings (7:13-7:23). Drawings are then transferred to a Honeywell series 200 computers which is called digitizing (7:35-7:45), puts dimensions on Punched tape (7:46-7:47), transferred to magnetic tape (7:49-7:50), and then to storage disks (7:51-7:52).

It opens with a set having been constructed for the filming of a motion picture (:42). The man in charge of this creation and the focus of this film is the art director (1:10). His first duty will be to analyze the script and craft the appropriate type of background for the film (1:44). Part of this decision-making process will be whether or not to construct and entire building or a partial (2:16). The art director must be intrinsically familiar varying areas of architecture (2:24). Books are pulled from shelves as much of the work is research based (2:45). Many study famous architects from the past including Nicholas Hawkes, Inigo James (2:51), and Christopher Wren (2:57). They also must be familiar with varying eras of architecture such as the Tudor and Jacobean (3:24). Because of their extensive knowledge and creations, many have been accredited with exuding an influence over home design and furnishings (3:44). The example had been filmed 15 years prior to the making of this film and thousands of home owners sent letters for the floor plans of the authentic early American home depicted (3:51). After the architectural design has been formed, the mood of the story comes into play (4:36), and this includes bright lights for upbeat scenes (4:43) and darker tones for a more somber scene (4:48). Although the films were in black and white the color still played an important factor (5:12). The sketch artist is depicted at work and will be under the close watch of the art director (5:15). Prior to the actual set, a miniature built to exact scale model is crafted (5:33). This was helpful for the plans of angles of actual shooting later (5:44). The set décor is being set into place (5:50) and must blend evenly with the architecture. As shooting commences, the art director stands by for consultation with the camera man...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/58cd8e6f-5cff-4e84-a452-1836ee6b5cd4/76c567e7-6414-4dd9-b2ff-6e6f444d90d1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bY1QPdcP5WQG6z2ZLasGCL</video:player_loc><video:duration>455</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T00:33:40.835Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fw4t3yBQj6uLcYtRAvxFvk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1132cc3a-95d5-4886-b9df-ed67a6372095.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE SOUNDMAN"  1940s PRODUCTION SOUND RECORDING FOR MOTION PICTURES  EDUCATIONAL FILM 64144</video:title><video:description>This film about the work of the soundman was presented by Members of the Motion Picture Industry and produced in cooperation with the Academy Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It begins with a snippet of a silent film as previously no soundman existed (:40) and it had taken 100 years to bring sound to the screen (:50). Thomas Edison was credited as the first to record sound and this invention revolutionized the theory of sound (:55).  In order to record sound in motion it requires a team of technicians whom have been extensively trained in the acoustics of sound (1:16). A microphone swings above actor’s heads and this will pick up voices and convert them into electrical impulses (1:42), which are then sent through cables and to a mixing console depicted here (1:55). The quality of sound must be judged and proper levels must be balanced between sound and picture (2:05). The voices are sent traveling through relays in amplifying equipment (2:09) and then to the recording room where they will be copied onto a separate film shown here (2:11). A negative of the sound film is developed (2:19) and crafted into a separate soundtrack (2:27). The film then shows just how these voices look projected onto the screen (2:33), as well as the result of the film and soundtrack combined (2:44). Warner Bro’s were the first to produce a sound film called ‘Lights of New York’ (3:09). Although it was a great achievement, it created a challenge for actors as they had to project into a fixed microphone (3:12). The first sound film recorded outside was “In Old Arizona” and fixed microphones were still used here (3:55). Improved portable equipment was later developed and this allowed freedom of mobility (4:17). A film library which holds thousands of specific sounds is shown (4:20). Some of the titles include ‘horses out’, ‘trap door’, ‘street traffic’ and more (4:32). An example ensues of how multiple sounds are blended in order to create a scene at a horse race track (5:04). These sound...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/759263f8-7908-4c09-be18-876bddb76fc9/3f3c5617-e4f9-4fde-b93d-8aca3466c003-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fw4t3yBQj6uLcYtRAvxFvk</video:player_loc><video:duration>587</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T00:35:46.507Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/syoTfqDZpzcNzr3xkFizpw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2abc57fe-47cc-4847-95db-82370e61c663.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>49th &amp; 50th ANNUAL TOURNAMENT OF ROSES PARADE 1938 &amp; 1939  WIZARD OF OZ FLOAT IN COLOR  61764</video:title><video:description>This silent home movie shows early Kodachrome color views of the 1938 and 1939 Rose Parades in Pasadena, California. These were the 49th and 50th Parades, respectively. The 1939 Parade theme was "Playland Fantasies" and features marvelous floats and at 3:43 a 20th Century Fox wagon. At 3:47 the 1939 Parade begins. This one includes a sensational Wizard of Oz float at 6:11, sponsored by Culver City where MGM Studios was located. Some of the other floats include North Hollywood at 8:20, and Ventura's entry at 8:30. At 10:09 a huge "Last Supper" made of flowers moves down the street.

Earl Warren was the Grand Marshal that year (:41). The 1955 theme was "Familiar Sayings in Flowers". At :49 the Rose Queen is seen. At 1:13 the Mexico float. Other highlights include the L.A. County Float at 1:30, Ohio State's float,  USC's Tommy Trojan (2:04), Minute Maid float, and more. At 3:00 a wonderful Disneyland float is seen. At 4;12 the Post Cereal float comes by. At 5:00 a float for San Antonio is seen followed at 5:30 by a St. Louis float. At 6:12 is a wild float in the shape of a man's head. 

Interestingly, local station KTLA did color-cast the rainy 1955 Tournament of Roses Parade. It was actually KTLA's second coverage of the parade that day - the first was from the Elk's Club in black and white - the second, color event was this further down the parade route so that the entire parade could be repeated in color. After the announcers (including Stan Chambers) finished their black and white coverage, they were whisked by police escort to the second coverage location to repeat the same. There is no indication that in 1955 NBC repeated its first historic color coverage of the parade done in 1954. KTLA was the first West Coast station to have live color capability when they obtained two TK-40A color cameras during 1954.

It opens with a dough factory in Portchester, New York (:36). The pans are covered and set into the Brown Electric Pyrometer (1:17). The bread will then be frozen to preserve freshness and flavor at -20 degrees (1:33). These are wrapped in plastic twice to prevent dehydration (1:39). This process enabled companies to expand employment as their reach for sale was also expanded (2:15). Boxes from Arnold’s Bakery (2:41) are then loaded onto a conveyor belt (2:41). Admiral Richard E. Byrd was credited with this innovation as he had found bread preserved on the North Pole that was still edible four years later when he returned (3:00). He then became the vice president of Arnold’s Bakery and is seen with the company president, Paul Dean Arnold (3:10). In the National Woodworks of Birmingham, Alabama (4:23), prefabricated windows and doors are crafted (4:23). Previously, these were made by expert craftsmen using trial and error (4:49) and now they were preassembled to come ready made for installation (5:06). A carpenter works to install one of these windows beginning with sketching the lines (5:31) where the window will go, drilling holes, and then with a keyhole and crosscut saw cuts the hole where it will go (5:40). In Michigan, at and automobile sales agency in Detroit, a Plymouth Motor Corporation truck is arriving (6:01). These men will bring the agency up to speed on maintenance and repairs for the company’s vehicles (6:31).

Roosevelt. Most of the film is filmed aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1962 during a cruise to and through the Mediterranean that included NATO exercise assignments, which provides the context for the film’s story: A Scottish NATO Exchange Officer is spending a year with the U.S. 6th Fleet. The film opens with a shot of a harbor (presumably Newport News, VA); a woman launches a houseboat, christening the ship “Yankee Do.” The Scottish pilot and his family are aboard the boat with the American pilot and his family. Women talk while drying dishes inside the kitchenette of the houseboat (03:25). The houseboat passes the USS Enterprise, one the Navy’s first nuclear carrier (04:09). The film shows the various locations on her deck, including the bridges and dome. From up on the tower, the film shows the massive flight deck. The USS Enterprise conducts a catapult test (06:15). The film then cuts to the two men’s time aboard the Roosevelt. A pilot flies what appears to be a Douglas A-4 Skyhawk (06:59). The film shows the Roosevelt carrier from the perspective of an approaching jet and follows through the landing (07:34). All the planes are out on the carrier’s deck (08:26). Jets (likely Skyhawks) take off from the flight deck then return and land. Two Navy ships sail side by side in what appears to be a refueling operation (09:45). There are various shots of Navy men performing different jobs on the ship, including radar operators, cooks, and barbers. An officer briefs pilots on an upcoming sortie (12:00). A jet is lifted up to the flight deck (13:06; 13;34). Jets are moved into parking positions on the flight deck. An unknown enemy plane is shot out of the sky by one of the Skyhawks (15:12). Sailors and pilots stand at attention on the flight deck as the captain addresses the crew over th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/51edb315-7bad-40c5-9c3f-87a3e5be0af3/3f890003-7445-466e-a3fa-9296fc93e3c3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/b7Mc7BLQ9V7z9XGihuaERr</video:player_loc><video:duration>1692</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T00:54:25.067Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mWmi4giBbLAwQXh3PNjDDh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d80319e6-fa3c-4c32-a3df-808594a383ef.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>INDUSTRY ON PARADE   AMERICAN BREAKFAST   COFFEE CUPS   CEREAL   MILKMAN  64134b</video:title><video:description>This film is of the weekly series ‘Industry on Parade’ which received a Peabody Award for public service (:26). It focuses on breakfast and how industry has made the first meal of the day easier and cost efficient for the American family (1:03). An example of one of these innovations is the toaster (1:32). In an appliance mass producing factory, a worker makes toast over and over, tossing it into a bin ‘for toast only’ to ensure the quality (1:47). Another example shown is how stove top cooking had been made automatic with the use of a bulb filled with fluid (2:05) and when the liquid is cooled it contracts and turns up the flame (2:09). A cool pot is placed on the range and the flame jets up (2:20) and a hot is placed on the same range which then contracts the flame. Skilled potters make ceramic cups for coffee and tea (2:36) in Syracuse, New York and later handles are added (2:59). These cups are then placed in a kiln (3:07) in which they will be heated and cooled gradually (3:23). Before the glaze is added, a woman checks the cups for any flaws (3:37). They will travel back into the kiln and will have a decal added after (3:44). For the final step, a gold rim is painted on (3:54). Food products themselves were being improved as at a research farm (4:11) a device that’s sole purpose is to test the strength of an egg shell is shown (4:17). At a round table, men are tasting coffee to determine the proper blend of beans (4:34). The roasting times of the beans depend on their color (4:54) and they are later sent through the grinder (5:04). Some will travel through further processes which will churn out instant coffee. At the Pepperidge Farm’s bakery, machines bake loaves in large supply (6:12). The cereal Puffed Wheat is shown being shot like a gun and dropping to the floor (7:17). Grains that are not the proper size are shown sifted out (7:26) and the rest move to a spray treatment of vitamins (7:46). In the packaging room, machines fill boxes with a specific amou...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a98d7185-beec-4f0a-a13c-dba6c709aa36/ecb015bd-80cd-443c-a159-52443e41a257-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mWmi4giBbLAwQXh3PNjDDh</video:player_loc><video:duration>814</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T00:54:22.006Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eN7bDGiZmPSYiAmQ8K4apJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9fde200b-0572-46fa-bdfc-5ee0355b6b64.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CAMERAMEN ON LOCATION  SILENT HOLLYWOOD MOVIE MAKING SHORT  BEHIND THE SCENES w/ ROY ROGERS 64614b</video:title><video:description>Made by the short-lived Mercury Pictures (not to be confused with Orson Welles' company), this silent short "Cameramen on Location" was sold to the home market in the 1940s. It shows "behind the scenes" footage shot during the production of the 1941 Roy Rogers movie "Robin hood of the Pecos". The film begins with a Republic Pictures camera truck (4:05) arriving on set. A Mitchell camera is seen at 4:17 being loaded. At 4:23 reflectors are put in place and at 4:38 a boom microphone (mounted on the camera car) is put in position.

A man in a business suit, overcoat, and hat exits a blue and white taxi at a one-story house with a circular driveway. He enters an early 1960s living room and removes his coat (:20-1:00). His young daughter jumps into his arms and kisses him. He kisses his wife, dressed in a 1964 cotton fit-and-flare dress. He removes his suit jacket. His daughter comes back into the room wearing a stewardess hat, checkered scarf, and airline pin. He reads the newspaper (1:02-1:53). Dinner includes meat and vegetables, salad in wooden bowls, and water or milk. The family of five eats under a globe chandelier. Emotions range from laughing to downcast. The son spills his milk (1:54-4:32). The older daughter wears a wide fabric headband in her 1964s flip hairstyle. She sits on the floor in the living room, discussing homework with her dad, who sits smoking a cigarette (4:33-5:58). Two women wearing 1960s oversize coats approach an airline counter.

Well, it’s true! How would you like to go for a swim and find a jeweled cross worth $75,000?” With that, the viewer is taken to Bermuda at mark 1:22, where images taken by underwater photographer Peter Stackpole introduces audiences to the wonders of deep sea diving and exploration. Such treasures have been submerged under the seas for hundreds of years, we are told, after the vessels upon which they were held sunk. Traveling with renowned shipwreck diver Teddy Tucker, he and the film crew prepare for an excursion at mark 03:15, but inclement weather interferes with their plans. With calmer seas, the explorers find evidence of a submerged wreck from the 1590s at mark 04:37 and dive in. Fanning the sand from the ancient timbers, the divers uncover human bones and cannon balls among the reefs — along with a few sharks. The divers head to the surface by mark 07:35, but not before Tucker finds a golden cross studded with emeralds. “They begin to suspect that it may be the most spectacular single discovery in the history of treasure hunter,” Burrud says at mark 09:00. “This is the moment treasure hunters dream of.” Returning to the harbor near mark 10:00, the divers continue to sort through their treasures, uncovering silver “pieces of eight” dated 1592. At mark 11:00, the focus changes from treasure hunting to a “modern salvage operation” of a steamer that sunk in the 1920s, as Tucker tries to detach the vessel’s propeller blades. Waiting for the debris to settle and for sharks to finish consuming fish killed by the blast, the divers return to the water and eventually retrieve three propeller blades. At mark 14:00, Tucker and the camera crew are back underwater to investigate L’Hermine, a 300-foot, 60-gun French frigate that sunk in 1838, and retrieve one of her guns. Other salvage operations u...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ebaa2b84-d554-4087-b509-17422303119f/f37e0dda-f5fe-4b86-90ed-c242fdd16d09-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/v6RnU8yuY74K23w2hKpiTD</video:player_loc><video:duration>1588</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T01:06:11.793Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8M1VX9U1rD2kEyesRWgCwd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2cf7706c-d487-44f7-a123-126e6480b254.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NIXON ERA  CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS REPORT  "AN ISLAND NATION"  U.S. NAVY  21304</video:title><video:description>This film opens with President Richard Nixon (:24) speaking on the SALT negotiations which was an acronym that stood for Strategic Arms Limitations Talks.

Jenkins Productions, whose company "World in Color" produced a number of silent girlie films for the home market, "Diversion" is a classic "swimsuit girl" film. It was shot by Leo Caloia, who gained fame by being the first cameraman to film a young woman Jean Dougherty who later rose to fame as Marilyn Monroe. "Diversion" shows a beauty and talent contest that includes a ballerina, some singing (of course it's a silent picture so we don't know what!), and some swimsuit modeling. The contest was sponsored by Los Angeles radio station KMTR and may have involved the famed "Blue Book" Models.

The first clip is titled Special Report: New York Stock Exchange Adds “Fair Ladies” To Staff. This about the women who provide tours and information of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It opens with several different women welcoming people to the NYSE in various languages. During the World’s Fair, the NYSE is one of the most popular places to visit. A shot shows the floor of the NYSE (00:29); a woman gives speaks to her tour group. Exterior footage shows the intersection of Nassau Street and Broad Street (00:53).

The second and primary film is a 1952 John Sutherland production, What Makes Us Tick. This short animated film explains how stocks work for potential investors, covering information on the corporation, stock holders, investment bankers, and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). “John Q. Public” is interested in investing in stocks, so the film gives a good—if very positive—overview of how stocks function using an oil drum company as an example of how a business can become a corporation, attract investors and raise capital, be registered by the SEC, and ultimately be listed on the NYSE. The film concludes by telling viewers that investing in American industry creates jobs and allows for efficient war-time mobilization. 

The New York Stock Exchange (abbreviated as NYSE, and nicknamed "The Big Board"), is an American stock exchange located at 11 Wall Street, Lower Manhattan, New York City, New York. It is by far the world's largest stock exchange by market capitalization of its listed companies at US$21.3 trillion as of June 2017. The average daily trading value was approximately US$169 billion in 2013. The NYSE trading floor is located at 11 Wall Street and is composed of 21 rooms used for the facilitation of trading. A fifth trading room, located at 30 Broad Street, was closed in February 2007.

You can see it starting about 20:41 into the film. Daredevil Jimmie Lynch and his "Death Dodgers" traveled the country throughout the 1940s and ‘50s, performing spectacular stunts in flimsy cars. They jumped over cars and trucks, smashed through flaming walls, and sent their vehicles tipping over on two wheels. Lynch himself was famous for riding on the hood of a “horse car,” which he steered with hydraulic cables. At the New York World’s Fair of 1939-1940, the group put on a show for Safety Week — demonstrating exactly how not to drive.

The rest of the film shows a family vacation, including a great start at :17 where the family holds up a title card "Our Vacation!" The family enjoys boating, fishing (4:30), horseback riding (3:38), and more. At 8:37 grandma gets into the act, fishing in a rocker. At 8:54 the Red Oaks," a summer resort located on Lake Alma in Vilas County, Wisconsin is seen. It operated until 1965. At 12:00 a large lake steamer passenger ship is seen. At 13:52, a man is shown near a small Christmas tree, and at 14:13 Christmas dinner is served. At 16:05 champagne is served.  At 16:05 a naked doll is seen, followed by a painting of a nude woman. At 16:44 a sign declares Schroeder's Lake Killarney Beach, which may be the lake in New Brunswick, Canada. The family is shown having a picnic, and at 17:40 a woman shows off a large bruise on her leg while drinking a beer. At 20:20 everyone is shown swimming, followed by a spectacular sunset.

Apparently it was shot by a visiting tourist, as portions of it are a bit amateurish (including the shot at 1:41 of the gorge leading to the city -- which seems to have been shot from aboard a horse.) 

Petra, originally known to its inhabitants as Raqmu, is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Petra lies on the slope of Jabal Al-Madbah in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah valley that run from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. According to Hieronymus of Cardia, the name "Petra" was given by Greek merchants, who observed the city's inhabitants offering sacrifice, in springtime, to a deity on a large stone, i.e. petra. Petra is believed to have been settled as early as 9,000 BC, and it was possibly established in the 4th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataean Kingdom. The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who invested in Petra's proximity to the trade routes by establishing it as a major regional trading hub.

The trading business gained the Nabataeans considerable revenue and Petra became the focus of their wealth. The earliest historical reference to Petra was the attack to the city ordered by Antigonus I in 312 BC recorded by various Greek historians. The Nabataeans were, unlike their enemies, accustomed to living in the barren deserts, and were able to repel attacks by utilizing the area's mountainous terrain. They were particularly skillful in harvesting rainwater, agriculture and stone carving. Most of the Nabataean rulers embraced Greek culture, first of which was Aretas III Philhellen (87-62 BC), up to the last Nabataean ruler, Rabbel II Soter (70-106 AD). Petra flourished in the 1st century AD when its famous Khazneh structure –believed to be the mausoleum of Nabataean King Aretas IV– was constructed using Greek architectural elements, and its population peaked at an estimated 20,000 inhabitants.

The film opens with shots of the Sahara Desert, including sand dunes, mountains, and salty flats (00:22; 01:05). Massive sand dunes tower above the desert floor (01:27; 13:52). Wind blows sand along desert, making travel no easy task. A train moves along one of the few railways (01:48) that penetrate the Sahara. Dirt roads are marked by rock piles (02:06) to prevent winds and sand from erasing them. At a Saharan airstrip, people board a plane (02:23); aerial footage from the window of the plane shows the desert with a few mountains jutting into the sky (02:35). At a small village in the Sahara (02:44), children run in the courtyard and women cross a stream. People make clay bricks, which are used to build homes (03:18). In the market square, men make slippers (03:40), farm goods are traded, and metal ware is purchased. A man uses camels to haul goods to remote places in the desert (04:20), passing what appears to be a tiny mosque. Camels eat during a break from the trek. Men ride camels and guide camel caravans. A rare grassy plain at the foot of a mountain (05:24) provides grass for goats tended to by nomads. Nomads set up camp (05:58), putting up a tent to protect them from desert winds, then hang water bags and prepare food. A nomad woman turns wool into yarn (06:55). An oasis (07:22) provides water, allowing the people here to grow fruit and grains. Palm tree groves (08:19) provide shade, fuel, and building materials. A man climbs a date palm to harvest dates (08:53); the dates are then dried. The film shows footage of a village next to the oasis (09:37). Springs provide water to the people who live here. Artesian wells are another source of water (10:42). Well divers (11:08) use a guide rope to descend the well to remove sand clogs.

This Film Communique from WWII, "A Day with the A-36s" (1944) shows North American A-36 Invaders operating in Italy, performing ground strike missions against German targets in Southern Italy including roads leading to Mt. Etna.  The North American A-36 Mustang (sometimes also dubbed the "Invader" by members of the USAAF) was the ground attack/diver bomber version of the North American P-51. (Nomenclature note: during WWII, the 12th Air Force petitioned to have the A-36 called the "Invader", but that name was already assigned to the Douglas A-26. The aircraft was also informally nicknamed the Apache.) It could be distinguished from the P-51 by the presence of rectangular, slatted dive brakes above and below the wings. A total of 500 A-36 dive bombers served in North Africa, the Mediterranean, Italy and the China-Burma-India theater during World War II before being withdrawn from operational use in 1944.  The film provides a wartime narrative covering U.S. Army Air Force operations during the Sicilian campaign of World War II. It describes the role of A-36 Invader dive bombers, their missions against German positions, and the contributions of ground crews and workers supplying bombs, fuel, and equipment. The footage highlights successful air raids on enemy targets, including pillboxes, bridges, and supply routes, emphasizing the speed and precision of these aircraft. The latter portion shifts to captured German newsreel footage showcasing Nazi propaganda, boasting increased arms production, including tanks, submarines, and aircraft, as well as forced labor in war industries. The narrative counters these claims by reaffirming American industrial efforts and the ongoing Allied bombing campaign targeting ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/66f08c87-27dc-41d9-978b-481fd9b08b9d/bd18c861-c3fa-4e04-bff6-5fcee0d691cf-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dHgeLYv52gKTn7EUT6RLzt</video:player_loc><video:duration>1218</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T01:54:20.237Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cGAVEvrskYT2rGoAwiBYsD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5bf46ec8-3015-4594-b300-c617b29ce4c0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. AIR FORCE THUNDERBIRDS  F-16 FIGHTING FALCON ERA 23054</video:title><video:description>This profile of the USAF Thunderbirds dates to the time period between 1983-1985, when SSgt Steve Geoghegan served as Crew Chief with SSgt Paul Cantwell and Capt. John Bostick (among others). The film documents the return of the Thunderbirds to America's skies after a devastating series of accidents that resulted in the deaths of five pilots in 19 months, including four who were tragically killed while practicing at the Nellis, Nevada base on Jan. 18, 1982. The deaths were caused when their T-38 Talons crashed to the ground in close formation after a mechanical malfunction on the lead plane. Many said the Thunderbirds would never fly again but thanks to strong leadership and determination the team took to the skies again starting in 1983. 

The USAF Air Demonstration Squadron ("Thunderbirds") is the air demonstration squadron of the United States Air Force (USAF). The Thunderbirds are assigned to the 57th Wing, and are based at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. Created 65 years ago in 1953, the USAF Thunderbirds are the third-oldest formal flying aerobatic team (under the same name) in the world, after the United States Navy Blue Angels formed in 1946 and the French Air Force Patrouille de France formed in 1931.

The Thunderbirds Squadron tours the United States and much of the world, performing aerobatic formation and solo flying in specially marked aircraft. The squadron's name is taken from the legendary creature that appears in the mythologies of several indigenous North American cultures.

The F-16 has been the demonstration aircraft for the Thunderbirds since the 1983 season. In January 1982, 4 members of the squadron were killed in what became known as the "Diamond Crash" of T-38 Talon aircraft which the squadron had flown since 1974. Partially as a result of that accident, the squadron switched to the F-16A, and sat out the 1982 airshow season and spent that year retraining and transitioning over to the new aircraft to ready themselves for the 1983 season.

This project was part of the so called Great Leap Forward of the People's Republic of China (PRC), a economic and social campaign by the Communist Party of China (CPC) from 1958 to 1962. The campaign was led by Chairman Mao Zedong and aimed to rapidly transform the country from an agrarian economy into a socialist society through rapid industrialization and collectivization. However, it is widely considered to have caused the Great Chinese Famine.

The film was made in 1961 during the tail end of the Great Leap Forward. The people featured in the film are Chinese citizens of Shandong province and members of the Communist Party of China (CPC). The film starts out explaining the vastness of the Yellow River floodplain in northern China’s Shandong province. There are many smaller rivers that flow into the Yellow River. The Yellow River eventually flows into the Yellow Sea which is on the coast of Shandong. Although, at some places along the Yellow River within China, it is as vast as a sea.

The film then goes on to describe how this will help the farmers of this region. Of course this is in the government’s best interest as farming was collective and owned by the state. Details are brought up on the high expenditures that will be spent on the project and how everyone will benefit from the building of the Sanmenxia Dam. 

Next, the Dam is examined in detail. The Sanmenxia Dam is a concrete dam on the Yellow River near Sanmenxia Gorge in Henan province. The dam is multi-purpose and was constructed for flood and ice control along with irrigation, hydroelectric power generation and navigation.

The film, commissioned by the United States Army Signal Corps, was the final entry in a John Huston trilogy of films produced at the request of the U.S. Government. This documentary film follows 75 U.S. soldiers who have sustained debilitating emotional trauma and depression. A series of scenes chronicle their entry into a psychiatric hospital, their treatment and eventual recovery. Some of the treatments involved then-new drugs and hypnosis, and the impression was given of miraculous cures, though the narration says that there will be continuing psychiatric care.

Much of the filming was done at Edgewood State Hospital, Deer Park, Long Island, New York which between 1944 and 1946 was part of Mason General Hospital, a psychiatric hospital run by the United States War Department named for an Army doctor and general.

The film was controversial in its portrayal of shell-shocked soldiers from the war. "Twenty percent of our army casualties", the narrator says, "suffered psycho-neurotic symptoms: a sense of impending disaster, hopelessness, fear, and isolation." Apparently due to the potentially demoralizing effects the film might have on recruitment, it was subsequently banned by the Army after its production, although some pirated copies had been made. Military police once confiscated a print Huston was about to show friends at the Museum of Modern Art. The Army claimed it invaded the privacy of the soldiers involved, and the releases Huston had obtained were lost; the War Department refused to get new ones. The release in the 1980s by Secretary of the Army Clifford Alexander, Jr. was attributed to his friend Jack Valenti who worked to get the ban lifted.

The car runs out of the gas. A spare can of gasoline is strapped to the running board. He lifts up the front seat to access the fuel tank and the can is empty. The groom pushes the car, his bride steering (:08-1:12). The film forwards to the 1950s. A family rides in a convertible and passes a Citadel service station (1:13-1:39). Oil refineries are shown (1:49). Scientists perform experiments at a research facility (1:52-2:10). A gasoline station attendant in a uniform and hat waits on a car at a Citadel station (2:11-2:42). “Heap Good Medicine.” Two Seneca Indians re-enact crossing an oily stream in Pennsylvania in the early 1800s. A female Indian rubs this liquid on her husband’s shoulder (2:44-3:11). A reenactment shows Samuel Kier, eventual founder of the American petroleum industry, in his office holding a bottle of “Kier’s Rock Oil”, which he bottled and sold as a cure for most everything (3:12-3:45). 1859, Drake, the land agent, digs at the site to get more. He drills for oil and makes a muddy mess, eventually drilling using a pipe. He drops a chain into it, and it’s covered in oil when he pulls it up (3:46-6:25). A 1960s drilling rig is shown in action, as well as off-shore rigs (6:26-7:10). “Lindy Hop.” 1920s, a woman dances the Lindy Hop with a group of sailors.  Another dances the Charleston. Actual footage of early airplane prototypes are shown failing, including one in which the pilot is tossed into the air while the plane loops in flight. The Wright Brothers plane flies, as does Lindbergh to Paris to an awaiting crowd. The Spirit of St. Louis is compared to a 1960s Boeing (7:11-8:30).

The film starts with gimmicks created by starting and stopping a movie camera that has been placed on a tripod, creating the illusion that people and objects are magically disappearing from view ("beam me up Scotty!")  At 1:10 a mirror is used to create a lake with a still camera. At 1:47 the mirror is used to create a "bearded lady". At 2:00 a movie camera is used to show how the same illusion can be demonstrated. At 2:10 forced perspective is used on the beach to create the illusion of a miniature man. At 2:22 a gag is shown with "the girl who lost her head". At 3:00 a contortionist illusion is presented. At 3:31 the "human fly" is shown courtesy of turning the movie camera sideways. At 4:00 camera matting techniques are used to create a "split stage", a complex illusion in that it required the film to be wound back through the camera and double exposed. At 4:53, step printing in an optical printer is used to create various illusions including horses moving backwards. At 5:35 fishermen are shown throwing fish into the water, and then the film is run backwards to show "reverse action" with the fish being put into the boat. At 6;12 Jeeps are shown in various camera stunts and at 6:30 an accident scene between a bike and a car is staged using some camera tricks. At 6:54 an animation stand is used to add a special effect. At 7:23 a double exposure is used to add a "fairy godmother" to a shot. At 8:10 optical printing creates multiple images of a drum majorette -- made possible by a prism or other lens.

The film details the "suspicious attitude" that patrolmen must develop, as a basic means of protecting themselves against the actions of criminals. The police cars shown appear to be the Dodge Polara or Dodge 880. The narrator of the film was Guy Oates, who at one time served as the Chief of California State Police. The film follows the story of Officer Fred Walker, who was killed during what seemed like a routine traffic stop because he let his guard down and failed to maintain control of his weapon. His death serves as a stark reminder that no stop is ever truly routine, and law enforcement officers must remain constantly alert and suspicious. The film emphasizes the importance of proper safety procedures—such as approaching vehicles carefully, keeping the gun hand free, positioning the patrol car for protection, checking for threats inside the vehicle, maintaining control during arrests, and staying vigilant even at the station. It illustrates that danger can come from anyone, including seemingly harmless individuals, and that developing consistent safety habits can mean the difference between life and death. Ultimately, it underscores that treating every encounter with caution and maintaining a strict safety routine is essential for an officer's survival.

0:00 – A seemingly ordinary driver is pulled over for speeding. Officer Fred Walker suspects the man might be drunk and has him step out of the car.

1:15 – Officer Walker overlooks proper weapon control. The suspect, who is mentally unstable, uses the officer’s own gun to kill him. Emphasizes that even routine stops can be deadly.

2:01 – A passing motorist reports the scene; another officer responds and reconstructs the crime. Reminder: complacency and thinking “it can’t happen to me” is dangerous.

2:35 – Continual suspicion is crucial for law ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/62ebe1a3-3472-485f-b267-5c85419df840/1049e9e6-11a1-4ba5-9d06-f793daca8bf4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ddu4rV3Gq5DEZb49EjpMFw</video:player_loc><video:duration>894</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T02:08:14.020Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aRwiEaEZWQzeDo22iePJzz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3626b41c-c08f-4d4b-aa9d-ad29ea6a9acf.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1934 U.S. NAVY ASIATIC FLEET "ON THE FAR EASTERN STATION"  CHINA, PHILIPPINES &amp; ORIENT FILM  44014a</video:title><video:description>On the Far Eastern Station is a black and white film, copyright 1934, about the United States Asiatic Fleet which was based in the Philippines.

Dating to the late 1960s, "Yuletide Reflections" presents the work of the U.S. Navy's Chaplain Corps. It features narration by Navy Chaplain James W. Kelley, and shows Christmas and Hanukkah services in Vietnam during the height of the war. The film presents an overview of chaplains attending to the spiritual needs of sailors and Marines serving aboard ships in the Gulf of Tonkin and in Vietnam. Over 700 Navy Chaplains served with Marine Corps units in Vietnam between 1962 and 1972. With an average age of 37, these chaplains were often twice the age of the young men with whom they served. More than half were veterans of World War II and/or the Korean Conflict. All were volunteers. 

0:00: Main titles. Rear Admiral James W. Kelly, Chief of Chaplains, introduces the film. He reports that the "true spirit of Christmas" was present in Vietnam, bridging the span between heart and home. Servicemen do not believe God is dead; on the contrary, they believe God is "vibrantly alive and present." He then shares impressions from his visit to South Vietnam during Christmastime last year.

3:45: On the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk in the Tonkin Gulf, the chaplain observes pilots launching into the uncertainties of air strikes. He references biblical comfort found in Psalm 139: "If I take the wings of the morning... even there shall thy hand lead me." Ashore, men in battle gear take precious moments to turn their thoughts to faith, referencing Psalm 23: "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies."

5:18: The chaplain found sailors "joyously answering that song of David": "How shall we sing the Lord's song in a foreign land?" He notes that the Jewish High Holy Days of Hanukkah were also sole...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/af9e176b-11b4-40a0-9807-a9c96d8c7196/5be5ed79-d0dc-4a19-9c61-d1055f1e43b5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nFMHrHMVX7BmNxd87vhzjf</video:player_loc><video:duration>830</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T02:25:54.841Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hq4Lnvvk2DCJBaDqArUcsA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/976be153-8cf4-46dc-b658-36c90062384e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WABCO MOTOR GRADER OPERATION  1960s CONSTRUCTION TRAINING FILM 63934</video:title><video:description>This 1960s color film is about WABCO Motor Graders (LeTourneau-Westinghouse) and made by WABCO Earthmoving Equipment, Peoria, IL.

This WWII training film "Jap Language Useful Phrases" was made for the indoctrination of U.S. Marines. The film begins with footage of captured Japanese soldiers, and a discussion of the importance of the intelligence gained from them which has helped save American lives. Next, the film moves to the classroom where some basic pronunciation guides are shown, and then phrases such as "Surrender", "Cease Fire", "Drop Your Weapons", "Hands Up", "We Won't Murder You", and others are taught. The instructor also teaches phrases for dealing with captured Japanese prisoners including "Strip", "Come Out", "Come Here", "Forward March", "Shut Up", etc. A Japanese soldier is shown in the classroom, presumably a Japanese-American drafted into the role specifically for the film. 

This military training film emphasizes the critical role of capturing Japanese prisoners during World War II to gather valuable intelligence, which helped save many American lives in key battles like Guadalcanal and the Marshall Islands. It teaches U.S. Marines how to handle prisoners safely and introduces 11 essential Japanese phrases used to command enemy soldiers in the field—such as “surrender,” “cease fire,” “drop your weapons,” “hands up,” “come here,” and “we w...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ecc08479-ced6-421c-be0e-2a1dc2eb43c6/b42ac450-fcef-4a2a-9fe4-117efa893db3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/veD3nXGdbRiD72M7CkjL5N</video:player_loc><video:duration>658</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T02:32:17.815Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/n5gubkvFrt7rEtswRv3nv2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e392c4e9-ac6e-43e6-aa7a-b32681336ce1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE STORY OF HENRY FORD  "THE MARK OF A MAN"  1950s TELEVISION SHOW  46524</video:title><video:description>“The Mark Of A Man” is an episode from the 1950s television show The Greatest Drama. This episode tells the story of Henry Ford (00:33). The episode begins with a massive spring storm hitting the Midwest, causing the River Rouge to swell and flood the streets of Dearborn, Michigan (00:45), as well as Henry Ford’s estate—an aerial view (00:54) shows the flooded Fair Lane property. Shortly after the flood, Henry Ford passes away and mourners gather to pay their respects (01:04). The episode then cuts to shots of automobiles driving on highways and aerial views of highway and interstate systems that stand as a testament to Henry Ford’s influence. The episode moves back in time to recap Ford’s life and work. Henry Ford participates in a radio broadcast with Thomas Edison (01:43). Shots of farms give viewers a glimpse of Ford’s childhood. In a Detroit workshop, the Ford Quadricycle is built (02:32) and driven down a road (02:59). Ford’s famous 999 Racing Car (03:23) is driven on a racetrack by Barney Oldfield. Ford begins production of his first cars, utilizing the assembly line (03:53; 05:07) for quick and efficient production. The episode shows footage of the Model T driving down roads and across bridges. The Ford Motor Company grows and now includes massive factories and foundries (04:20). Henry Ford announces a raise in wages for workers with the hope of improving their lives and enabling them to buy their own automobiles.  The Business Recession of 1921 hits and unemployed men wait in long lines looking for work (05:20). There is a shot of Wall Street brokers buying and selling stocks (05:30); Ford meets with his executives (05:38) to discuss taking a loan from Wall Street to get through the recession.

Cannon died. The film was likely shown as part of a U.S. Navy presentation, and would have had an accompanying script or commentary (now lost) read while it was projected. Some of the interesting segments in the film show the moving of the SeaLab habitat and its deployment, underwater assembly operations (7:25), and support operations. The converted LST USS Elk River (IX-501, ex LSM(R)-501) which served as a support ship for the program is shown at the 13:40 mark. It's unclear but it's possible that the sequence at 15:00 shows the end of the SeaLab III mission. (If you know more about this mission we'd love to hear from you!)

SEALAB I, II, and III were experimental underwater habitats developed by the United States Navy in the 1960s to prove the viability of saturation diving and humans living in isolation for extended periods of time. The knowledge gained from the SEALAB expeditions helped advance the science of deep sea diving and rescue, and contributed to the understanding of the psychological and physiological strains humans can endure.

SEALAB III used a refurbished SEALAB II habitat, but was placed in water three times deeper. Five teams of nine divers were scheduled to spend 12 days each in the habitat, testing new salvage techniques and conducting oceanographic and fishery studies. Preparations for such a deep dive were extensive. In addition to many biomedical studies, work-up dives were conducted at the U.S. Navy Experimental Diving Unit at the Washington, D.C. Navy Yard. These “dives” were not done in the open sea, but in a special hyperbaric chamber that could recreate the pressures at depths as great as 1,025 feet (312 m) of sea water.

According to John Piña Craven, the U.S. Navy's head of the Deep Submergence Systems Project of which SEALAB was a part, SEALAB III "was plagued with strange failures at the very start ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/59d6c6b6-0f97-4562-b493-278f79721725/aac1cf48-990b-4827-acc6-ca1575926863-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/c6rcN1DNgEv5phEQnLaB9z</video:player_loc><video:duration>935</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T02:37:11.303Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qUMPdCZo7z85gRMJEZA7HH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/900332df-ae3a-482c-b4f5-78979c5cf142.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s U.S. NAVY FILM "EASY OUT?"  CONSEQUENCES OF BAD CONDUCT DISCHARGE  58154</video:title><video:description>This 1954 black and white film “Easy Out?” is U.S. Navy Training Film MN-7904, produced by The Jam Handy Organization. The film was made to make clear to U.S. Navy personnel the devastating consequences of receiving a Bad Conduct Discharge from the service. Long story short anyone who is dishonorably discharged shames his family, won't be able to impress women, and will be unable to receive any veteran benefits, etc. (A Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD) can only be given by a court-martial (either special or general) as punishment to an enlisted service-member. Bad conduct discharges are often preceded by a period of confinement in a military prison. The discharge itself is not executed until completion of both confinement and the appellate review process.)

It opens panning a neighborhood. A child rides a tricycle. A telegram delivery guy arrives by bicycle and hands the telegram to a woman wearing a full apron. She has a 1940s hairstyle with her hair tightly rolled up. A cuckoo clock hangs on the wall. She dials a rotary phone (:40-3:20). The family walks to the train station. A large advertisement for Camel Cigarettes is seen. The young girl wears a flower headband that ties under her chin and waves a flag.  The mother wears a 1950s small hat and short dark gloves. A man wears a suit with small bowtie and hat. An elderly woman wears a two-piece suit, flower hat and corsage pin, multiple long necklace chains, and short white gloves. The train arrives. Paul, the discharged serviceman, wearing a white suit, receives hugs. He kisses his girlfriend, who holds her gloves and clutch purse (3:21-6:23). The dinner plates have bits of food left in front of the family. One stands to make a toast.  Another smokes a pipe. The family asks the sailor questions. His mother wears a cameo pin as the top button. He angrily reacts. The dining room wall has a tall plate rail above the molding boxes. The little girl says good night to her brother.  He gets up to take his girlfriend home ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c9ba3ce1-f7f4-48f0-94b3-76b03689bdeb/93903d7a-ae43-445e-9ef5-1e803ade1a5e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qUMPdCZo7z85gRMJEZA7HH</video:player_loc><video:duration>1402</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T02:40:13.112Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/getRP24KMoyEtqCxveiiHm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/63c8e0e4-ee82-416c-b8f8-27619e2998c9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>A TIGER HUNT IN BENGAL  1940s INDIA HUNTING FILM    PANTHER &amp; BENGAL TIGER HUNT  63694</video:title><video:description>This 1940s black and white film is a very graphic hunt in Bengal showing multiple animals shot and people attacked by animals.

The film opens with a view of the final product on a McDonnel Douglas DC-1o aircraft, which expands out to show the plane taxing on a runway before taking off (:08-1:08). An artist’s rendition of the seven initial design concepts is shown (1:09-1:57).  The final ribs-stiffened skin design is shown as a prototype of graphite epoxy composites. Two scientists cover it using a thermal expansion molding technique. An artist’s rendition follows (1:58-2:50). A one-step manufacturing process is shown as thick silicone rubber is poured into a mold. Internal elements are molded together through a machine. A large form die is shown (2:51-4:09). Two scientists work on the rudder skin panels by cutting from uncured graphite epoxy tape (4:10-4:48). A scientist fabricates rudder component test articles using foam blocks and pushed into an oven to cure (4:49-5:20). Static testing of the spar is performed, which fails (5:21-6:00). The hinge fitting fastener is tested for fatigue strength (6:01-6:44). A residual static strength test is performed (6:45). Four full-scale prototype rudders are made (6:54-7:31). A rudder box component is subjected to vibration testing. Engineers wear headphones and turn switches (7:32-8:14). Static load tests are conducted on a second rudder. One test uses a whiffle tree loading fixture on the third rudder (8:15-9:04). Ground testing is performed on the fourth rudder for certification by the Federal Aviation Administration. An ultra-sonic inspection is shown. The scientist attaches the probes and the results are shown on cathode-ray screen displays (9:05-9:57). The graphite composite has a static test program run on it. A hydraulic actuator simulates air loads through a compression whiffle tree system (9:58-10:32).

REYNOLDS NEEDS A NURSE "  GENERAL HOSPITAL PATIENT CARE   64814</video:title><video:description>One of the most important films about nursing made in the 20th Century, "Mrs. Reynolds Needs a Nurse" was written in 1963 by Dolores Little, MN, RN, a nursing supervisor at the University of Washington Hospital, Seattle who had just completed her master's degree. The film documented a case study of an elderly lady who was transferred to the university hospital in multisystem failure, accompanied by her husband and multiple suitcases of her belongings. Mrs Reynolds was a needy and demanding patient whose fears and anxieties were expressed by her annoying attempts to get attention, treating the nurses like servants and complaining about much of the care given to her. Mrs Reynolds' 8-month-long hospitalization showcased the importance of individualizing care, being aware of both emotional and physical needs, collaborating with other disciplines, and it demonstrated the nurse's role as a patient advocate with clinical competencies that were an early version of today's case managers.

Film contains many shots of an urban hospital, doctors, surgery, patients, nurses, general hospital, head nurse, and more.

In this, Part Two of the three part series entitled “The People,” is narrated by former U.S. Ambassador to Japan Joseph C. Grew. The film portrays the Japanese as a people trained from childhood to completely commit themselves to the Japanese Empire and its causes. The film begins with Grew giving an introduction (00:41), then shows footage of Japan’s Emperor Hirohito (01:51) as he rides a horse in a military parade. The Japanese military marches down a city street lined with cheering people (02:27). The film shows Tokyo (02:53), including Tokyo Station, a Mitsubishi office building, another train station, and a subway station—all part of the modern look of the country. Bankers sell cash to customers (04:15) and the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s floor bustles with transactions (04:43). At a theatre, Japanese men and women watch a play celebrating the Nazis (05:45), further promoting the idea of total war. Grew tells viewers that the Japanese government censors the media to perpetuate the national narrative, and there is footage of Japanese newspapers printing papers (06:47) and members of the military delivering news via radio broadcasts. The strength of Japan’s military comes from the peasant population; the film shows a peasant woman working on a farm (07:34) and other peasants working in a kitchen, building huts, and harvesting grain and rice. Men chop wood (09:06), as lumbar is a critical resource for the war effort. In an old traditional town (09:45), each home doubles as a miniature factory, where families produce a variety of goods. A family has tea in their kitchen (10:25). Grew accuses the Japanese of being ungrateful of the help the U.S. provided after the 1923 earthquake; the film provides footage of what appears to be destruction from that earthquake (10:38). Women work in a city factory producing textiles (11:16), and men build ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ebd99748-8a6b-441c-8f5c-cd79e62761a2/e55807eb-7531-4476-af7c-7aff767333de-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/v8bjTymmeShp3cv6WVdno3</video:player_loc><video:duration>1177</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T02:53:47.136Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dV4ALVNNTtiKKWv8t7JeJS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5338f574-01b1-48f1-8e89-1eb7402f0199.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NORTH AMERICAN AVIATION AIRPLANE &amp; MISSILE CRASH REEL  "BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD"  88784z</video:title><video:description>This silent film from the vault of North American Aviation was used as a teaser at a convention of test pilots, aircraft engineers and supervisors, etc. The film is an epic compilation of aviation fails from WWI to the 1960s and features airplane crashes, missiles exploding, etc. It uses some documentary footage and quite a bit of Hollywood material.

At 9:58 a jet being launched by JATO rocket is shown. At 10:20 the bottle did not detach so the pilot ejects from the aircraft. At 10:35 aircraft debris are shown at what might be Edwards Air Force Base as a fire crew puts them out. At 10:56 a rocket engine test stand is shown. At 11:00 a massive fireball erupts from the stand. At 11:20 an F-101 Starfighter goes out of control on the runway after a fuel tank separates, causing it to crash on the ground. At 11:46 a test aircraft spins on the runway. At 12:02 the prototype B-57 Hustler is seen on its first test flight, suffering a blown tire. At 12:48 crews at Edwards shower the runway with fire retardant so the plane can be brought in safely at 13:05. At 14:29 a rocket or jet firing stand suffers a complete destructive blowout. At 15:10 an X-15 rocket plane flown by Neil Armstrong lands at Edwards AFB and suffers catastrophic fuselage damage. At 16:11 an ejection seat firing is shown. At 16:37 the reel ends with an atomic bomb blast just for fun!

The RMS Queen Mary is a retired British ocean liner that sailed primarily on the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard Line – known as Cunard-White Star Line when the vessel entered service. Built by John Brown &amp; Company in Clydebank, Scotland, Queen Mary, along with RMS Queen Elizabeth,[3] were built as part of Cunard's planned two-ship weekly express service between Southampton, Cherbourg and New York. The two ships were a British response to the express superliners built by German, Italian and French companies in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Queen Mary was the flagship of the Cunard Line from May 1936 until October 1946 when she was replaced in that role by Queen Elizabeth.

This is followed by the Philco 1103 (16:40) and the 1104 (17:52) with its giant freezer locker. The final fridge is the Philco 1107 (19:01), the flagship model that combines the features of all the others but also includes a clear plastic inside door for additional storage and organization. The presenter concludes by touting the quality of the new Philco line what it will do for dealers’ sales.

Philco (founded as Helios Electric Company, renamed Philadelphia Storage Battery Company) was well known as a pioneer in battery, radio, and television production. In North America, it is the Philco brand owned by Philips. In other markets, it is the Philco International brand owned by Electrolux.

In the early 1920s, Philco made storage batteries, "socket power" battery eliminator units, and battery chargers. With the invention of the rectifier tube, which made it practical to power radios by electrical outlets, in 1928, Philco decided to get into the booming radio business. They followed other radio makers such as RCA, Atwater-Kent, Zenith Electronics, Freshman Mas...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/323c44a5-b445-4014-9fed-01f5746d68fb/f70bd462-d15c-47e5-8a28-f0b3ed8c1703-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7cMRb52kgu8yHPwZsrxpwc</video:player_loc><video:duration>1272</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T03:23:53.399Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uHmAjHZtgbk1dzNpfoEdj8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7737ec12-987b-4189-8838-97d195c8d7bf.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY SEVENTH FLEET  FORMOSA PATROL, KOREAN WAR, TAIWAN STRAIT CRISIS  1950s FILM  64554</video:title><video:description>This 1957 U.S. Navy film about the Seventh Fleet shows the activities of the fleet since 1949, as part of the effort to contain the spread of Communism and support friendly nations such as Japan and Taiwan against Red China. The film shows the U.S. fleet's operations during the Korean War and the Formosa Patrol Force which shielded Taiwan during the crisis. The film shows Corsairs, Skyraiders and jets including the F-86 Sabre making air strikes in Korea, and the support system that allowed them to stay on station. At 5:57 the film shows the settlement of the Korean War in a ceasefire. At 6:15 the film begins to concentrate on the post-war era, patrolling the coastlines of east Asia between the Philippines and Japan. Includes shots of USS Shangri-La CV-38 at 6:50. At 7:22, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, nationalist leader of Taiwan, visits the carrier Wasp at Formosa. At 8:00, the U.S. fleet evacuates refugees from North Vietnam to the South as part of Operation Passage to Freedom. At 8:30 the 1954 Second Taiwan Strait Crisis is shown. 

The First Taiwan Strait Crisis (also called the 1954–1955 Taiwan Strait Crisis, the Formosa Crisis, the Offshore Islands Crisis or the 1955 Taiwan Strait Crisis) was a brief armed conflict that took place between the governments of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (ROC), which by then had fled and was based in Taiwan. The PRC seized the Yijiangshan Islands, forcing the ROC to abandon the Tachen Islands. The United States and the ROC Navies joined forces to evacuate ROC military personnel and civilians from the Tachen Islands to Taiwan. Though the Tachen Islands changed hands during the crisis, American news reports focused almost exclusively on the Kinmen and Matsu islands, which were the sites of frequent artillery duels.

The Chinese Civil War had receded in scale in 1949, with Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang (KMT) government and 1.3 million supporters abandoning the Chinese mainland and relocating the...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e8861132-bfc0-45a5-882e-8f4e485d559b/48778919-0c72-4590-9ec6-46ae0661d2cb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uHmAjHZtgbk1dzNpfoEdj8</video:player_loc><video:duration>758</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T03:25:56.889Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/84VVPj3DMutfM3o1qPvSe1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0b6038e2-f872-4d21-a8de-6a104aa615cb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BOUGAINVILLE CAMPAIGN  "BATTLE FOR HILL 700"  145th INFANTRY / 35th DIVISION COMBAT FILM  22534</video:title><video:description>This silent film shows the battle for "Hill 700" starting on March 9, 1944. Depicted is the counter-attack by the 145th Infantry of the 37th Division to recapture the hill which had been taken in the early morning. The Japanese objective was to break through to the strategic beachhead on Empress Augusta Bay. Mortars (9:30) and light tanks and halftracks from the 754th Tank Battalion provided fire support and the battle continued through March 13th, when the troops regained the summit of Hill 700. Some of the difficult to watch footage in this film includes bodies seen at 15:40 in jungle trenches, evacuation of wounded at 16:00, body bags 17:30, and the burying Japanese dead. At 5;28-5:58, a Japanese soldier who was believed to be "playing dead" is shot. 

The Bougainville Campaign was a series of land and naval battles of the Pacific campaign of World War II between Allied forces and the Empire of Japan. It was part of Operation Cartwheel, the Allied grand strategy in the South Pacific. The campaign took place in the Northern Solomons in two phases. The first phase, in which American troops invaded and held the perimeter around the beachhead at Torokina, lasted from November 1943 through November 1944. The second phase, in which primarily Australian troops went on the offensive, mopping up pockets of starving, isolated but still-determined Japanese, lasted from November 1944 until August 1945, when the last Japanese on the island surrendered. Operations during the final phase of the campaign saw the Australian forces advance north towards the Bonis Peninsula and south towards the main Japanese stronghold around Buin, although the war ended before these two enclaves were completely destroyed.

For this reason, a close examination of any potential bivouac area must be made. At 2:24, a truck convoy moves in close column on a road, making it a sitting duck for enemy aircraft. The recommended procedure is seen at 2:50, with trucks spread out by a hundred yards or more. At 3:20, the convoy moves on a dirt road and maintains camouflage discipline -- not straying off the road and creating new tracks. At 4:00, troops brush up flattened grass to further conceal truck movement. At 5:10, a halftrack is moved to adjust the shadows that it throws, and at 5:55 a vehicle's headlights are covered in leaves to prevent reflections. At 8:00, a truck is entirely covered by natural foliage and properly concealed from the air. At 10:00, examination of aerial photographs is shown, demonstrating that the camouflage is working, since the enemy cannot detect any difference in the photos from the air.

The focus of the film is the desert, probably near 29 Palms where the U.S. Army trained at the outset of WWII, prior to landing in North Africa as part of Operation Torch. At 1:02, troops prepare to use a net with irregularly spaced color strips that will confuse enemy aircraft. At 1:45 a gun emplacement is shown hidden by this kind of netting. At 2:00 a slit is shown in the net allowing artillery to fire freely. At 2:46 a troop of men show how to fold a camouflage net. At 4:06, a view from the air is shown of a U.S. tank and it is an easy target. At 4:20, a Lee tank is concealed in netting, with an emphasis on distorting its regular form.

The film begins with Commodore Matthew Perry of the United States Navy, who presented the Japanese with Americanized sciences and civilizations (:55). At a nine-power conference in 1921, a pact was later signed to limit costly arrangements with Japan (1:49). Delegates are shown meeting at a White House conference (2:07) and among them is Admiral Yamamoto (2:11) whom had constructed the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The great wall of China (3:04) is shown and Japan attacking Manchuria. Soldiers are seen marching through the gates (3:23) as well as the Chinese prince Puyi whom had been coronated in 1934 (3:35). Footage of Manchuria left decimated follow (4:15) and the League of Nations decided against aggressive action. Marching in the streets ensue as the Chinese wanted to fight back against the Japanese (4:27). A succession of earthquakes strike Japan (4:38). A multitude of countries, including China sent aide in the form of the Red Cross (4:53). American scrap metal was donated to Japan (5:15). The warship Yaru Kobe (5:17) is shown.

“Part Four: Blast” summarizes the different effects of an atomic blast on a group of different buildings, with the groups located at various ranges from the bomb blast, or “ground zero.” Part Four opens with an aerial view of animated atomic blast (00:22). Graphics are used to show the blast’s effects in relation of the height of detonation to the power of the bomb, as well as to show the reflective wave of the bomb blast (01:47). The film then gives examples of damage levels to the buildings—a home, a brick building, a steel reinforced building, and a mid-sized factor (03:07). The example assumes a nominal bomb detonated at 1,000 feet elevation, and shows the damage done at ground zero, as well as ¾ mile (04:15) and a mile and a half (05:26) from ground zero. The film presents footage of destroyed buildings on a city block (06:17) in the wake of a bomb blast. The narrator discusses the challenges of cleaning up after a bomb blast and covers various issues, including the different types of debris and the work required to clean up each type of debris. Part Four closes with a shot of cars and trucks driving on highways (08:24), a shot of a bridge with a boat going underneath it, and a shot of buildings lining a canal (all which face their own set of issues in the event of an atomic bomb blast).

The film opens with a shot of a fire engine driving down a residential street from the perspective of the engine. Fireman Tom Briggs leaves his car (00:22) and walks into Station 1 of the Evanston Fire Department. He passes the fire engines and lines up for inspection with the other firemen. The Fire Marshall reviews the men (00:56). Tom is taken to an aerial ladder truck (01:15). Other men clean and maintain the fire engines. The aerial ladder is extended (02:00) as the firemen practice using it. Firemen carry hand ladders into position. A fire hose is hoisted up to the top of a roof using a hose roller (02:51). A fireman practices carrying out an unconscious person (03:19); oxygen is administered to the “victim.” Firemen practice saving people with a life net (03:45); a man jumps from a building onto the life net. With training over, it is time for the real thing. Firemen slide down the firepole (04:23) to the engines as the fire alarm sounds throughout the station; the men don their gear and board the trucks. The film then shows the fire engines pull out of the station (04:48). They soon arrive at the site of the fire (06:17) and unload hand ladders. A fireman connects a hose to a fire hydrant (06:51). An engineer gets the pumps operating (07:05) so the fire hoses become operational. A fireman atop the ladder sprays water from the firehose into the house (07:34). Firemen climb the aerial ladder to the roof of the house (07:50), where they chop a hole in the roof to let heat out. Firemen with smoke masks enter the home (08:41) then come back out once the fire is out; one fireman saves the little girl’s kitten. The aerial ladder is retracted and put away (09:10), hoses are rolled up, and the fire engines pull away from the house and head back to the station.

Back at the station, firemen maintain the fire engines (02:02; 04:30). In a classroom, a group of firemen trainees study (02:17), then they train by climbing an aerial ladder (02:43) and jumping off a training tower onto the safety net, demonstrating proper technique to avoid injury. The trainees wear gas masks to deal with smoke during a training simulation (03:30). The film then shows several firemen working atop a burning roof (03:51; 09:26). The fire alarm sounds at the fire station (05:00), waking the men up; the firemen quickly go down to the ground floor by pole or slide. The firemen put on their gear (05:27) and board the fire engines. Firemen roll up a hose (05:43), train, and clean and care for their equipment. The men move a moveable tower that extends up to 80 feet (06:26). A fireman goes door-to-door (06:41), showing residents potential fire hazards in and around their homes, including combustibles piled together. The film also reviews how old electrical wires can start a fire. A shot of a mountain burning behind a neighborhood (07:41) precedes the firemen arriving to fight the fire (08:00). A plane dumps retardant on the wildfire (08:07), then the firemen spray water from a fire hose (08:35; 10:28). The film concludes with footage of a fire from a burning oil refinery (08:52) and a home so engulfed in flames that the studs are the only part of the house left visible amid the roaring fire (09:34).

" LIFETIME PROTECTION " 46324</video:title><video:description>Lifetime Protection is a short promotional film presented by The Dow Chemical Company and produced by the Atlas Film Corporation (likely from the 1950s) that touts the easy and economical aspects of using Styrofoam boards to insulate homes. The film opens with a shot of a convertible car sitting in front of a brick home (00:35). An approaching thunder storm prompts a man to run out of the house to put the car’s top up as the narrator explains the importance of protection from cold and moisture. In a family room, a father reads a newspaper as his wife looks over his shoulder and the couple’s son and daughter play on the floor next to the fireplace (01:28). In an office, a man shows a couple a model home (01:48) and explains the built-in comfort of Styrofoam insulation. A closeup shot of a Styrofoam sample shows the cellular structure of the product (03:40). Styrofoam is tested in a lab for insulation properties including thermal insulation using ASTM procedures (04:19), waterproof ability (05:30), and structural strength (06:16). The film discusses Styrofoam’s established use in the food industry while featuring shots of an Oscar Mayer facility (07:05), Oscar Mayer trucks, and Oscar Mayer products on display in a grocery store (07:18). A truck brings residential foam insulation boards to a jobsite (07:58). The film then demonstrates the horizontal and vertical methods of installing Styrofoam boards for insulating the foundation of a home (09:02; 10:13). There are additional shots of builders placing foam boards on foundations. Workmen apply insulation to masonry walls (12:28), bonding foam boards to walls using a push box. Men apply a cut foam board around an electrical outlet box (14:10); insulating around ducts and windows is handled the same way. A demonstration shows how to prepare foam installation when there is a later need to mount fixtures such as a drapery (16:08). Plaster is applied directly to the foam boards (17:10), saving builders time and money.

A new research assistant walks to Examination Hall in Queen’s Square, London. He walks through the laboratory to the secretary’s office, who speedily types on her Corona. She asks him to wait in the professor’s office and hands him  “A Career in Pharmacology” book. The Arthur Saunders &amp; Co wall clock with roman numerals shows 10:30 and then noon (:06-2:20). The young man sleeps sitting in the chair. The hands pass 2:30, the entire clock spins, and it’s 9:00. In his dream, a series of people come through the door: a footballer, cleaning woman, police constable with a criminal, a clergy,  guitar player, businessman swinging an umbrella, a woman in a graduation robe, a waiter holding a beverage tray, an artist, butcher, violinist, and a vendor riding a bicycle (2:21-4:00). Last is a woman, who enters her office, greets the waiting doctor, and gets her stenographer tablet. She offers the ailing doctor “Prelewdin” pills, which cause him to flirt with her (4:01-4:42).  A doctor reads “The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics”. He straps the blood pressure cuff around a patient’s arm, which rises up every time he squeezes the ball. He uses the large book to hold it down (4:43-5:42).  A single researcher’s project is completely taken over as multiple staff join (5:43-6:45). A researcher has the results repainted by an artist (7:35-8:17). A “self-inserting suppository” is visualized using a rocket launch (8:18-8:39). A kitchen tray has an enamelware pot. A researcher catches a paper on fire and lights an experiment. Atomic bomb footage is shown (8:40-9:32). A researcher grows bored reading a pharmacology book and replaces it with a tabloid of a bombshell with a pharmacologist. He shows it to a researcher whose head is attached to a machine pulling on it.

The name is a contraction of the Coast Guard motto: Semper Paratus and its English translation Always Ready. The name also refers to a spar in nautical usage.
Like the other women's reserves such as the Women's Army Corps and the WAVES, it was created to free men from stateside service in order to fight overseas.

Its first director was Captain Dorothy C. Stratton, and she is credited with creating the name for the organization. The Coast Guard closely followed the Navy WAVES model, with officer training at the Coast Guard Academy. Their goal was 1000 officers and 10,000 enlisted. 1,914 women were trained in boot camp at Hunter College's Bronx campus. The cutter USCGC Spar (WLB-206) is named after the SPARS.

In this case the ship being shown is a U.S. Navy Fletcher class or DD445 class destroyer. Several ships of this class are shown including USS Paul Hamilton DD-590. Also shown is sister ship USS Twiggs DD-591, DD-665 USS Bryant and DD-649 USS Albert W. Grant. All of the film seems to take place at the Charleston Navy Yard. 

Tragically, USS Twiggs shown in the film was sunk on 16 June 1945 by a kamikaze aircraft near Okinawa. 188 crew were rescued out of 329 officers and men.

The film shows how riggers remove keel blocks and cover blocks, and make other preparations prior to stern launching of the ship. Once the launching and christening are complete, the ship will be moved to drydock for installation of weapons / guns and propellers as well as other fittings. The Carleston Naval Shipyard (formerly known as the Charleston Navy Yard) shown was a U.S. Navy ship building and repair facility located along the west bank of the Cooper River, in North Charleston, South Carolina and part of Naval Base Charleston. The yard first produced the destroyer USS Tillman (DD-135), then began to increase production in the 1930s. A total of 21 destroyers were assembled at the naval facility.

The Fletcher class was a class of destroyers built by the United States during World War II. The class was designed in 1939, as a result of dissatisfaction with the earlier destroyer leader types of the Porter and Somers classes. Some went on to serve during the Korean War and into the Vietnam War.

The United States Navy commissioned 175 Fletcher-class destroyers between 1942 and 1944, more than any other destroyer class, and the design was generally regarded as highly successful. Fletchers had a design speed of 38 knots and an armament of five 5" guns in single mounts with 10 21" torpedoes in two quintuple centerline mounts. The Allen M.

THE BATTLE FOR NEW BRITAIN  1944 WAR DEPARTMENT DOCUMENTARY  SOLOMON ISLANDS CAMPAIGN 79144</video:title><video:description>Attack! The Battle of New Britain is a documentary/propaganda film produced by the U.S. War Department in 1944, depicting events in 1943.. It details, as its name implies, the New Britain campaign, which was part of the New Guinea and Solomon Islands Campaigns during World War II.

The film follows a rather standard format: it is a chronological narrative of the campaign from the arrival of the soldiers in New Guinea to their capture of most of the island. Opening with travelers book pictures of the area, reminding the audience what the average soldier image of what the South Seas would be like, and it then details the natural hazards of fighting, or even being in the jungle, including the insects, diseases and heat. The marines and soldiers set up a little tent city, with the significant help of the local natives or "fuzzy wuzzies". After the base has been established and enough men are ready, General Douglas MacArthur arrives in person to discuss the upcoming campaign with the unit's CO.

With the aid of maps and non-combat footage, the audience learns about the plans for the attack, the geography of the island, and the variety of armored vehicles that will be used in the upcoming battle, including the "alligator" and "buffalo" amphibious assault vehicles. D–day is on Christmas, and while the sailors and marines assemble in the rear, the airmen spend Christmas Eve strafing the island, to make way for their comrades' assault. The campaign is then followed through chronologically, focusing, at the end, on the many wounded and killed who have sacrificed so much.

The New Britain Campaign was a World War II campaign by the Allies, between December 1943 and the end of the war in August 1945, to contain Japanese forces concentrated in Rabaul, the capital of New Britain, the major Japanese base for the New Guinea and Solomons campaigns.

In 1876, William H. Seward purchased Alaska from Russia (:24). American’s protested against this purchase and felt it was a waste and dubbed it as ‘Seward’s folly’ (:36). The film will divide Alaska into three sections and the first is highlighted (2:20) as Yukon. Dogs pulling sleds across the snow depict the common perception of what Alaska is (2:38) and it is the malamute husky (3:00).

The film begins with a shot of a “birdman” about to attempt flight by leaping off the Eiffel Tower (00:15)—he is unsuccessful and falls to his death (02:07). Too bad he didn't have a modern birdsuit! An old biplane performs aerial acrobatics (00:50).

The film was shot at a depth of up to 60 meters depth in the Mediterranean sea. This version is entirely silent, but the theatrical release version has an accompanying soundtrack.The plot of the film is simple enough as a team of divers explores undersea animal and plant life and revels in the majesty of the underwater world. 

Cousteau had made his first underwater short "18 Meters Deep" in 1943, using a waterproof camera and no breathing apparatus. During the war, Cousteau developed the aqua-lung, the precursor to scuba gear, and established the first version of the Underwater Research Group that would eventually make him famous worldwide.  In 1946 he released a film entitled "Shipwrecks" and followed it with “Silent Landscapes” the following year. He released a series of films in 1949 including “Seals of Rio d’Oro,” “Dolphins and Cretaceous,” “Off the Coast of Tunesiennes,” and “Around a Reef.” In 1950 he modified a former minesweeper as the Calypso, and began making films in deadly earnest.

PLASTIC &amp; SYNTHETIC MATERIALS PROMO FILM 45694</video:title><video:description>This film is presented by Monsanto Chemical Company (:59) and is an MPO production (1:12). It will take a look at the world of plastics and synthetic material and begins with a dam which utilizes the power of water to generate electricity for cities (5:50). To make plastics, atoms and molecules are combined to form new substances (6:36). Flames flicker on screen as it requires fire to form new molecules from the air (7:17).  Some examples are shown as benzene methane and propane (7:29). The red and yellow piping shown are designated for chemicals (7:45) and aluminum is used for steam. These are moved by dozens of compressors and pipes (7:58). A Monsanto worker monitors the process (8:08) and the instruments which read the pulse of the plant are depicted (8:21). The tankers which distill the simple molecules follow (8:28). The materials used are sent to storage tanks and then to kettles (8:53). The long strands of plastic material are the result of these molecules formed together (9:01). The substance phenolics (9:07) is poured as a liquid though it will harden, later it will be reheated to form things such as television cabinets or the nose of am aircraft shell (9:13). The heated cylinders depicted (9:21) are used to morph tiny grains of vinyl and the powder once dried will be sent through the screener (9:34). Substances such as styrene can be mixed with colorants in the blender (9:43) and it emerges as a thin rod from the cylinder (9:59). The basic element used in all plastics is ethaline (11:33) and an example is vinyl chloride (11:58). These form chains and create another plastic called polyvinyl chloride (12:10). A plasticizer (12:25), when added allows the molecules to slide over one another. Styrene is a clear liquid used to make rubber (12:48). To complete the formation in many of these heat and pressure will be necessary (13:25). The process of calendaring is depicted (13:32). Vinyl is ‘kneaded like dough’ (13:50) and will later be pressed into thin, wide...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/db440047-17bf-42ac-be15-71a7216c9939/b935db33-2fa2-42cb-bf8c-58234c760dc6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/t5pbaaa45aEPJgXf1j829e</video:player_loc><video:duration>1675</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T04:58:43.417Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aVmm4sFnxeCFKzkGbon1yM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dbb740fd-f0e0-430e-a308-22a1da1cbf99.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LYSERGIC ACID DIETHYLAMIDE 1960s LSD DRUG SCARE FILM  "ACID"  ACID TRIP  PSYCHEDLIC ERA  64084</video:title><video:description>This film is by Encyclopedia Britannica Educational Corporation (:08). Its topic will be lysergic acid diethylamide (:53) the natural and synthetic hallucinogen. A bottle containing LSD is shown and one ounce is capable of producing 300,000 hallucinogenic trips (1:23). It has been produced by Concept films (1:48). It begins in 1951, in southern France where citizens had been hit with a strange illness constituted with pain, high fever and hallucinations (2:24). The plague was dubbed ‘St. Anthony’s fire’ and over 360 cases were documented (2:59). It was discovered that the poisoning was from consumption of Ergot, a fungus which grows on rye, milled and baked into bread (3:07). Though a direct connection between this instance and LSD have not been established, these reports drew the attention of Dr. Albert Hofmann whom had first synthesized LSD fifteen years prior (3:25). The study on the effects began on rats (4:01) and a correlation was drawn between stress and the effects of the drug (4:25). Large doses would produce catatonic behavior and this is exampled in one rat given a massive dose (5:04) and researchers noted that Schizophrenic patients exhibited similar behavior (5:08). This sparked speculation that a similar chemical was being produced by schizophrenic patient’s bodies to LSD (5:18). The head of research at Maryland Psychiatric Research Center (5:39) believed acid to be a catalyst that lubricated and manifested unconscious processes in the brain (5:51). In the early 1960’s research began to discover how the drug would affect the consciousness of ‘normal’ people (5:57). Dr. Jean Houston and her husband Dr. Robert Masters birthed the New York City Foundation for Mind Research were among the forerunners of those utilizing LSD as a probe into the depths of the psyche (6:21). A newspaper headline reading “4 Held in Sale of LSD to Boy Who Leapt to His Death” flashes by (7:10) and it was found that if someone took the drug and experienced stressful or negative...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/505534d1-fe0d-4c3f-889d-f71de945f0d5/1f648c99-5192-4997-9f6e-841de76476c1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aVmm4sFnxeCFKzkGbon1yM</video:player_loc><video:duration>1547</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T05:03:21.431Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mkqasFqDkyoa6eNPxENFKd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dcfa0f4b-3795-40b9-8258-270e7b39a89d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PRESIDENT HARRY S.

JET ENGINES J57 TURBOJET  " THUNDER MAKERS "   84594</video:title><video:description>Thunder Makers is a 1950s film that shows the production and testing of the Pratt &amp; Whitney J57 turbojet aircraft engine at the Ford Motor Company’s Aircraft Engine Division plant in Chicago. (Ford built these engines under license from P&amp;W.) The film opens with a shot of two men in a control room testing the J57 and firing the engine’s afterburner (01:35). The film then shows viewers the Ford Aircraft Engine plant, where a train is pulling into one of the plant’s warehouses (02:06). A J57 sits next to the tracks inside the warehouse (02:34). There is an exterior shot of the main building of Ford’s Aircraft Engine Division in Chicago (03:00). Materials used for the engine are unloaded in the loading docks at the plant (04:00). A man sets the center shaft of the engine; other men examine compressor discs in a large room (04:59). Various other parts are tested (05:30), and the center shaft is bored (05:43). The film shows some of the large equipment used to machine the parts for the J57. A man tests fuel flow at a simulated altitude (07:52), using dry ice to drop the temperature for the test. Two men lower a J57 engine on the sub-assembly line to continue piecing it together (09:19). Compressor rotors are tested (10:05); then the engine is tipped over onto its cradle (10:20) and is connected with the afterburner. The completed engine is tested in the jet test cell. The film closes with a train leaving the Ford plant, followed by footage of three planes that use the J57: a fighter jet, a B-52 bomber, and a giant airliner.

The Pratt &amp; Whitney J57 (company designation: JT3C) is an axial-flowturbojet engine developed by Pratt &amp; Whitney in the early 1950s. The J57 (first run January 1950) was the first 10,000 lbf (45 kN) thrust class engine in the United States. The J57/JT3C was developed into the J75/JT4A turbojet, JT3D/TF33 turbofan and the PT5/T57 turboprop.

This is the oldest island in the Philippines (:21).Ferdinand Magellan set sail from Spain in 1519 on a historic voyage to circumnavigate the globe, passing through the strait later named after him and discovering the Philippine Islands in 1521. He landed on Cebu, made peace with the native chief, and claimed the islands for Spain, but was killed shortly after in a battle on nearby Mactan Island. Following his death, his crew completed the first circumnavigation of the world. Decades later, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi established Spanish rule in the Philippines, with Cebu becoming a vital trade hub known for exports like coconut products and Manila hemp. The city retains much of its Spanish colonial heritage, including historic churches and forts, and remains an important port under American and later Philippine sovereignty. Magellan’s voyage opened a new route to the East and marked the beginning of European influence in the region.

0:49 — In 1519, Ferdinand Magellan set sail from Spain to circumnavigate the globe, sailing through the strait later named after him.

1:04 — In March 1521, after 19 months at sea, Magellan discovered the Philippine Islands, an archipelago of about 7,000 islands between the Pacific Ocean and the China Sea.

1:22 — On April 7, Magellan landed on the island of Cebu (called Sibu in the text), made a peace agreement with the native chief, and claimed the islands for Spain.

1:36 — Nineteen days later, Magellan was killed trying to subdue another chief on Mactan Island.

1:42 — After Magellan’s death, the remaining crew returned to Spain via the Cape of Good Hope, completing the first circumnavigation.

1:52 — Forty-three years later, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi retraced Magellan’s route, arrived at Cebu, and established Spanish rule over the Philippine archipelago until the Spanish-American War.

At :40 an American G.I. smokes from a cigarette while waiting to advance. At 2:30 a slate is shown but it is impossible to read. At 2:56 troops advance through a clearing. At 3:40 a prisoner marches with the troops. At 4:18 the prisoner is roughed up a bit as an interpreter, probably AVRN, speaks to him. At 5:00 the prisoners are held at gunpoint with their arms tied behind their backs. At 5:19, troops disembark from a ship and board a riverine patrol vessel. At 6;14 shots are fired into the bank of a river. At 7:12 the troops are seen now advancing through the foliage towards a row of trees. At 7:55 a medical helicopter lands in a clearing. (This part of the film the camera lost the film so it is very shaky). At 9:40 troops advance over a rough bridge made of logs. At 10:00 the mission is over and the troops are back on the river.

At the time the newsreel was produced the United States was strictly neutral and thus the newsreel tended to look more closely at the civilian victims of the conflict and the horror of war than did later Castle releases. The newsreel highlights some of the many Japanese atrocities including the bombing of the Cathay Hotel (8:00) and the indiscriminate bombing of the city by Japanese aircraft (6:00). At 3:55 the work of British, American and other troops to rescue Westerners from the International Settlement (4:00). 

During the Japanese onslaught, the terrifying might of the Japanese Army was revealed. Japan was far more superior in air power and number of combat troops and General Chiang Kai-shek's forces were helpless to stop the Japanese forces from bombing, shelling and then finally occupying the city.  The enormous civilian loss of life is obvious in these images, including wreckage in front of the famed Cathay Hotel from an explosion on August 14, 1937.

The film includes footage of the foreign fleets, including both U.S. Navy and Royal Navy warships, that were anchored off of Shanghai, and shows Westerners and members of the "Shanghai Colony" (including a German representative whose hat bears a swastika) helping civilians escape the chaos.  

The Battle of Shanghai was the first of the twenty-two major engagements fought between the National Revolutionary Army (NRA) of the Republic of China (ROC) and the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) of the Empire of Japan during the Second Sino-Japanese War. It was one of the largest and bloodiest battles of the entire war, described as "Stalingrad on the Yangtze".

Since 1931, there had been ongoing armed conflicts between China and Japan without an official declaration of war.

VTXTS can be traced to the mid-1970s, during which time the U.S. Navy formally commenced its search for a new jet trainer aircraft to serve as a single replacement for both its T-2 Buckeye and TA-4 Skyhawk trainers. During 1978, the VTXTS advanced trainer program to meet this need was formally launched by the U.S. Navy. An Anglo-American team, comprising British aviation manufacturer British Aerospace (BAe) and American aircraft company McDonnell Douglas (MDC), decided to submit their proposal for a navalised version of the land-based BAE Systems Hawk trainer. Other manufacturers also submitted bids including Grumman, Dassault, Dornier and Lockheed, who offered their Alpha Jet to fulfill the requirement.

During November 1981, the U.S. Navy announced that it had selected the Hawk as the winner of the VTX-TS competition. Reportedly, approximately 60 per cent of the work on the T-45 program was undertaken overseas in Britain. During September 1982, a Full Scale Engineering Development contract was awarded to the team to fully develop and produce the proposed aircraft, which had been designated as the T-45 Goshawk. On 16 April 1988, the first T-45A Goshawk conducted its maiden flight

This film opens with a jet lifting off of a runway (:18) and the information that the Navy had identified a need for modern replacement training and that the VTXTS (1:27) was to be the program. The Grumman Aerospace program corporation teamed up with Beech Aircraft company and the Link Division of Singer Corporation (1:32) for this project. An Air Combat and Maneuvering sign appears and we are told 87 objectives would make up this program (2:24).

Nap-of-the-earth (abbreviated NOE) is a type of very low-altitude flight course used by military aircraft to avoid enemy detection and attack in a high-threat environment. During NOE flight, geographical features are used as cover, exploiting valleys and folds in the terrain by flying in, rather than over, them. The research program included a study to see how effectively ground spotters could locate VTOL aircraft flying nap of the Earth profiles. The film shows Lockheed test pilots flying the company's L286 rigid rotor helicopter and the XH-51a compound research aircraft. The L-286 made various constant speed runs. 

The Lockheed XH-51 (Model 186) was an American single-engine experimental helicopter designed by Lockheed Aircraft, utilizing a rigid rotor and retractable skid landing gear. The XH-51 was selected as the test vehicle for a joint research program conducted by the United States Army and United States Navy to explore rigid rotor technology. Two four-seat, three-bladed XH-51As were ordered and built for the program. Powered by the 550 shp (410 kW) Pratt &amp; Whitney Canada PT6B-9 turboshaft engine, XH-51A (serial number 61-51262) first flew on 2 November 1962. As flight testing progressed, the original three-bladed, rigid rotor system demonstrated instability at higher speed ranges. Lockheed engineers solved the problem by modifying the aircraft with a four-bladed rotor system. In 1963, the Army's Technology Research and Evaluation Command (TRECOM) contracted with Lockheed to modify one of the XH-51 aircraft into a compound helicopter. ockheed built two demonstrator aircraft, designated the Lockheed Model 286, to market to the public (registration numbers N286L and N265LC). These aircraft had the five-seat configuration of the XH-51N with the four-b...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4f85fb68-4f7e-4a7c-81e4-7bfa60b1b396/cc1e4b70-5736-4cda-8288-c9b2c5ae94ef-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aPy6hWoAhsXJjXDvz4er7w</video:player_loc><video:duration>1652</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T05:55:02.071Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mnzpK5sP8chJKeSE9TBZJN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/46fb12c8-d94c-41fa-9450-a4cfba636d6b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HISTORY OF WEST BERLIN FROM END OF THIRD REICH TO BERLIN WALL  "BERLIN: TEST FOR THE WEST" 45654</video:title><video:description>"Berlin: Test for the West" is an Encyclopedia Britannica film that traces the history of the city from the end of WWII and the fall of the German Reich through the construction of the Berlin Wall.  Willy Brandt was the mayor of West Berlin (:14) and the film had been produced in Germany by Chronos Films (:14). The Bradenburg Gate (1:18) in the 1920’s had stood as a crossroads between one of Europe’s busiest capitals (1:39) and the lively streets of Berlin are shown (1:59). The late 20’s had brought about world wide depression and Hitler is shown directing marching soldiers (2:38) in 1944. Footage of dust clouds and fighting in the streets follow (3:08) and in the spring of 1945, the city had been ruined (3:14). The German forces surrender on May 2nd and smoke is seen steaming up from the buildings (3:28) as civilians step from homes cautiously (3:37).  In Potsdam, President Truman and Walter Atley (4:07) are depicted as well as Stalin (4:10). West Germany had been split under Polish and Soviet charge (4:23).

As the film explains, the Drivotrainer was inspired by trainers used by airline and military pilots as well as U.S. Navy personnel. The Drivotrainer was developed with the assistance of the Singer company and promoted by the Aetna Insurance Company, and widely used in driver training classes. It featured a full-sized simulated car complete with steering wheel, brake, turn signals, gas pedal, and more. An accompanying group of over 20 films made up the curriculum, and students were scored using a computer controlled "master score" unit.

As an automobile insurer since 1902, Aetna had a financial interest in promoting highway safety. The company committed to innovating new methods of driver instruction in 1935, when it introduced the "Reactometer", the first machine designed to record motorists' reaction time. The Reactometer was awarded the Grand Prix at the Paris Exposition of 1937, after which it toured the United States as part of a highway safety exhibit, and was displayed at the 1939 New York World's Fair.

Aetna next developed the "Driverometer", a trainer which used color motion pictures to simulate actual driving conditions and the "Roadometer", which provided a short motion picture test including most phases of automobile operation and provided a scorecard.

In 1951, Aetna developed the Aetna Drivotrainer, the first combination of automobile simulator and motion pictures designed for behind-the-wheel instruction in drivers' training classrooms. The Drivotrainer classroom contained 15 small single seat "Aetnacars" equipped with controls as similar as possible to those used in actual automobiles. The gas pedal changed the volume of the engine noise, the steering wheel and the clutch and brake pedals provided realistic resistance, even the seat mimicked an actual automobile seat, simulating a realistic on-road driving exper...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2fdfdbb1-91a7-40cf-9186-3f4ab1c8cbc4/2c319eca-318d-401c-b233-51abf4549830-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6UT6xUr31dPgFKsSn5BsK7</video:player_loc><video:duration>1002</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T05:59:05.098Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7nFsYBHg4GBh5rAj7KBXEh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a244c032-faa1-48cf-bc94-c4fba90739b2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY THE MISSION OF PT.

Pt. Mugu served in this era as one of the primary test ranges for guided missiles, sea launched weapons, and other important missiles and weapon systems of the Cold War.It is now part of Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC). 

The film begins with images of the Sparrow III missile being used against a target drone, as well as many of the other missions of the base in this era, when nearly 10,000 people worked there. At 1:50, the Pt. Mugu command center and blockhouse is seen, where over 100 weapons have been tested and proven. At 3:45 some of the facilities at the Channel Islands and in Hawaii are seen, and Johnson Atoll, as well as Midway and Wake Islands are seen -- all part of the Pacific Missile Range. USS Wheeling is seen, a Wheeling-class missile range instrumentation ship acquired by the U.S. Navy in 1962 and converted from her Victory ship cargo configuration to a missile tracking ship, a role she retained for a number of years before being sunk as a target by Harpoon missiles on 12 July 1981.

At 6:51, underwater launch of a test missile is seen, and various telemetry and tracking radars are seen. At 9:00, the self-destruct button that would be used to destroy an errant test missile is seen. At 10:53, computers are seen crunching data. At 11:00, the Barking Sands range is seen, with anti-submarine warfare exercises being conducted.  Johnson Atoll is seen at 11:20. An Air Force missile is seen launching a missile at Vanderburg, for tracking in the PMR.

Rosendahl,” tells the story of Rosendahl and his championing of dirigibles. The episode opens with a shot of a dirigible (00:29) and a shot of Rosendahl (00:41), a “giant of aviation” and pioneer of dirigible flight. Rosendahl is part of the flights of famous U.S. dirigibles, including the Shenandoah (00:45), the Akron, the Los Angeles. Cadets march at Annapolis (01:01), where Rosendahl’s interest in dirigibles begins. An early dirigible leaves its hanger then flies over ocean-going ships. The film shows the construction of a dirigible (01:26) and a stockpile of the gas cannisters (01:43) used to power the ships. Rosendahl flies the German-built Los Angeles (02:10) to Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey. He takes part in several other flights. He is the Navigation Officer of the Shenandoah (02:48) when the ship encounters a storm and breaks in half—Rosendahl successfully lands the bow section of the destroyed ship, saving a handful of lives. Footage shows the wreckage of the ship (03:08). Rosendahl (3:25) is given command of the Los Angeles (03:31) and its crew. A shot from the dirigible shows an aerial view of an East Coast city (03:46). As part of the PR flight, Rosendahl launches a glider (04:00) from the dirigible, which then lands. A more impressive stunt occurs when Rosendahl lands the Los Angeles on the aircraft carrier Saratoga (04:18). The episode shows the ship’s crew and commander, Rosendahl. In 1928, Rosendahl is an observer on the flight of the Graf Zeppelin (05:11; 05:36), as it travels from Friedrichshafen to Lakehurst (05:44).

The home movie begins with a train trip and shots out the window at :15 where oil derricks are visible. Then at :33 is footage of the Grand Canyon. At 2:40 the beach at Santa Monica is visible. Then at 2:57 an ocean voyage begins, either from the port at San Pedro, California or Long Beach. At 3:33 Avalon, the community on Catalina Island, is shown. At 5:47 Diamond Head in Hawaii is seen and a tug boat greets the ship.The home movie resumes after 10:00 with shots along Waikiki and women posing for the camera.

At 6:15 as "Paradise of the Pacific" begins, a ship is seen docked in Honolulu. Impossible to see the name of the vessel but the fact that it consists of two words means it is likely the SS President Hoover or SS President Coolidge (based on the configuration of the bridge more likely to be the Coolidge) . At 6:18 tourists are greeted with leis as they disembark. At 6:30 distant views of Diamond Head are seen at at 6:46 the beach at Waikiki with the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. At 7:45 a blowhole in the surf is shown. At 8:40 a monument of some sort is seen. At 8:48 sugar cane crop is burned as part of the cultivation process. At 9:21 the Laie Hawaii Temple is shown. The film ends around 9:58 with a sunset. 

Laie Hawaii Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) located on the northeast shore of the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu. The temple sits on a small hill, a half-mile from the Pacific Ocean, in the town of Lāʻie, 35 miles (56 km) from Honolulu. Along with Brigham Young University–Hawaii and the Polynesian Cultural Center, the Laie Hawaii Temple plays an important role in the town of Lā'ie, with the Visitors' Center attracting more than 100,000 people annually.

Udey, who was a member of the Naval Medical Photo Unit #5. The film begins prior to the invasion of Iwo Jima on January 11, 1945 at an unknown location, possibly Saipan where Udey had been filming the invasion in the summer of 1944. The shots show a rocky coastline and sandy beach.  At 2:00 a coastline is seen from at sea. At 3:06, a new camera roll, we are now at sea with the fleet assembling for the invasion of Iwo Jima. At 3:50 the beach at Iwo is attacked with naval artillery. At 5:12 aircraft make bomb drops on Japanese positions. At 6:00 heavy smoke covers the beach area. At 6:43 the looming shape of Mt. Suribachi is seen in the distance. At 6:48 aircraft streak overhead, and at 6:58 a warship fires broadsides at the beach. The USS LST 634 is seen at 7:11. At 7:20 warships in dazzle paint are seen off Iwo and at 7:50 a broadside is fired at the beach. More dive bombing attacks are seen at 8:40. At 9:00, the invasion fleet is seen off Iwo with the sun setting. At 9:25, a group of children and refugees are seen at a camp, cleaning themselves up. It's unclear where this was filmed, possibly at Okinawa or more likely, it is from Saipan.

The family of radars termed NASARR (North American Search And Ranging Radar) were built by Autonetics,  a division of North American Aviation that produced various avionics. The F-104S received a NASARR R21-G with a moving target indication and a continuous-wave radar illuminator for semi-active radar homing missiles, including the AIM-7 Sparrow and Selenia Aspide.

The film shows various demonstrations of the radar system including flights over Palos Verdes in Southern California and the Mojave Desert.

This film describes the use of a hybrid vintage DC3 aircraft equipped with advanced NASARR radar systems to train student pilots in tactical air-to-air targeting and navigation. The radar helps pilots track distant targets, manage range and closure rates, and integrate optical sighting for accurate engagement. Beyond combat training, the radar’s navigational modes—such as ground mapping, contour mapping, and terrain avoidance—allow pilots to identify key geographic features and landmarks, even in poor visibility conditions. Training flights over Southern California showcase the radar’s precision in detecting coastlines, islands, military bases, and unique terrain, enhancing pilot skills in both combat and navigation scenarios.

0:00 — Introduction to a unique hybrid aircraft, a vintage DC3 fitted with the nose of an F-104 and equipped with NASARR radar technology, designed to provide student pilots with tactical radar training.

0:40 — Student pilots begin practicing air-to-air target tracking at approximately 13 miles distance, using radar controls like the range gate and sector scan to locate and lock onto the target.

1:29 — The radar scope displays essential indicators such as the steering dot, active steering circle, and time-to-go circle, which guide the pilot through evasive maneuvers and engagement timing.

At 2:00, a prospector shows how a pan is used to sift river sand in search of gold flakes. At 2;24 a claim is staked out with a claim post. At 3:30 a rocker or cradle is made to sift gravel. At 3:53, wooden bars called riffers and a hopper to hold the sand and gravel are created from wood. At 4:40 the operation of the hopper is shown. At 6:17 a Long Tom sluice is shown, which used the power of the river to separate the sand and gold from the gravel, with gold trapped behind the riffle bars.  At 8:00 gold flecks are recovered from the Long Tom via a pan. At 8:30, a series of riffle boxes are placed together to form a sluice box -- the best of all placer mining tools. 

Placer mining is the mining of stream bed (alluvial) deposits for minerals. This may be done by open-pit (also called open-cast mining) or by various surface excavating equipment or tunnelling equipment.

Placer mining is frequently used for precious metal deposits (particularly gold) and gemstones, both of which are often found in alluvial deposits—deposits of sand and gravel in modern or ancient stream beds, or occasionally glacial deposits. The metal or gemstones, having been moved by stream flow from an original source such as a vein, are typically only a minuscule portion of the total deposit. Since gems and heavy metals like gold are considerably more dense than sand, they tend to accumulate at the base of placer deposits.

It is important to note that placer deposits can be as young as a few years old, such as the Canadian Queen Charlotte beach gold placer deposits, or billions of years old like the Elliott Lake uranium paleoplacer within the Huronian Supergroup in Canada.

The containing material in an alluvial placer mine may be too loose to safely mine by tunnelling, though it is possible where the ground is permanently frozen.

SURIBACHI FLAG RAISING  COMBAT CAMERA   SGT. WILLIAM GENAUST  IWO JIMA  WORLD WAR II  81364</video:title><video:description>This raw, silent footage from Iwo Jima includes some of the most famous motion picture film shot in WWII: the second U.S. flag raising on top of Mount Suribachi.  It was filmed by William Homer "Bill" Genaust of Effingham IL (October 12, 1906 – March 4, 1945) a United States Marine Corps combat cameraman. Genaust was later killed in action on Iwo Jima. He filmed the flag raising on February 23, 1945, using a 16 millimeter motion picture camera which used 50-foot color film cassettes. The Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, depicts the second flag-raising on Mount Suribachi by six Marines. 

Genaust and possibly another Marine were killed on March 4 (Genaust was listed as MIA on March 3), 1945 by Japanese small arms fire after they entered a large cave at or around Hill 362-A, located on the northern part of Iwo Jima. Genaust volunteered to go in the cave and most likely used his flashlight instead of his camera light inside it. After he was killed, the cave entrance was covered over by bulldozing equipment, and despite renewed search efforts in 2007, his and the other Marine's body have never been recovered. Genaust is among 250 listed missing on Iwo Jima, although most of those Americans were lost at sea. Genaust received a posthumous Certificate of Appreciation from the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Paul X. Kelley on 26 April 1984. The Sergeant William Genaust Award is presented each year by the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, one of a series of awards to both Marines and civilian community members recognizing their work in advancing and preserving Marine Corps history. It is given for a documentary and short subject (15 minutes or less) dealing creatively with U.S. Marine Corps heritage or Marine Corps life.

Lockheed Martin presents a promotional film created sometime between the 1970's and 1980's in order to showcase new aircrafts and carriers. It features the activities of the AC carrier USS Enterprise, the S-3A Viking aircraft, the E-2 Hawkeye early warning aircraft and the F-14 Tomcat. The S-3 Viking is a four seated twin engine turbo fan powered jet aircraft employed by the US Navy primary for submarine warfare. In the 1990's use shifted for surface warfare and refueling. The film opens with the California Lockheed logo (:11). The USS Enterprise swings into view (1:06). The carrier is capable of launching over a half million pounds of conventional explosives in a single strike (1:17) and was capable over covering 600 miles prior to refueling (1:28). The carrier is shown in fleet exercises (1:45) US Navy submarines dive in and over the water’s surface playing hostile for the exercises (1:48). The submarine commander (2:18) hunts for surface targets and prepares for attack and escape. Grumman F14 Tomcats follow (3:50). The E-2 Hawkeye early warning (4:05) aircraft is looked to.

Ainlay. The film begins with news footage from a 1959 petroleum bulk plant fire in Kansas City, Missouri, and an explanation of events that led up to the fire. (The accidental fire began, we are told at mark 02:58, as gasoline was being transferred into a tanker. The fire spread to the service station and adjacent tankers.) Six firefighters were killed. The news footage (from local station KMBC begins at mark 05:07, with one of the station’s newscasters providing a narration as thick, black smoke chokes the air and crews desperately worked to extinguish the blaze. A fireball fills the screen at mark 07:51 as the flames reach a tanker. The news footage ends and at mark 11:30, Ainlay reminds the viewer that the events were “an unbelievable coincidence” of events that led to the catastrophe, and at mark 12:12 retraces and carefully analyzes each step that led to the fire. The film also examines new measures that could avoid similar disasters, including pressure-release devices, which are demonstrated beginning at mark 19:10.
 
On August 18, 1959, a catastrophic gasoline fire broke out at a bulk plant during a tank truck filling operation, captured on film by Kansas City’s KMBC. The plant, built in 1927 under older safety standards, had a loading rack dangerously close to storage tanks, and a faulty valve allowed gasoline to overflow, fueling the fire. Despite firefighters’ efforts, several tanks ruptured due to pressure buildup from intense heat, not explosions inside the tanks, leading to a deadly blast that killed six firefighters. The tragedy resulted from a chain of avoidable factors—including ignition from a cigarette lighter, valve failures, limited firefighter access, and ineffective firefighting tactics that pushed burning fuel under tanks. Modern safety devices like automatic shutoff valves, heat-actuated emergency valves, a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a817b3f6-d610-4833-bd1c-16bb919ab1c0/1c95ac62-73ef-48ad-a6e4-a8252737d65e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mKTQJwuxfMspp82pL6z6nj</video:player_loc><video:duration>1447</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T06:46:37.371Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aM7dVRNndmYCFph59e6m8N</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e90e776c-026b-4e5d-b1dc-889a9bfb23ba.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII U.S. NAVAL AVIATOR TRAINING FILM  "THIS IS IT"  REEL 2   33054</video:title><video:description>In this second reel of the 1944 U.S. Navy training film This Is It (MN 84J), viewers watch the unfolding of the incidents that the commander is telling the new pilots about in the first reel of the film. The second reel opens with shots of Douglas SBD pilots in their cockpits talking to each other; one pilot is flying in cloud cover and unsure of his location. The film then cuts to the command room (01:00) where the commander is monitoring the progress of the planes. As news of the Japanese fleet comes in, the Navy pilots run from their quarters to man their planes (03:26). Grumman F6F Hellcats start up their engines and take off from the aircraft carrier (03:40). There is a good shot from another ship’s point of view of the planes taking off. Hellcats fly in formation (04:30) on their way to attack the enemy fleet. There is a shot of pilots in their cockpits from the perspective of outside the plane. A Hellcat breaks from the fighter escort and is shot down (05:48). Planes maneuver into attack formations (08:44). Grumman TBFs drop torpedoes while other planes fire on a Japanese cruiser. There is an aerial shot of a U.S. battleship (11:51); the ship uses signal code to communicate with a pilot. Two planes (a Douglas SBD and what appears to be a Hellcat) fly side-by-side (14:58). Planes land on the carrier (17:08). The film then cuts back to the commander in the briefing room addressing the new pilots about the importance of operational training (20:20).

Surgicel is a hemostatic agent (blood-clot-inducing material) made of an oxidized cellulose polymer (the unit is polyanhydroglucuronic acid), manufactured by the Ethicon subsidiary of Johnson And Johnson. It was introduced into clinical practice in 1947. It is used to control post-surgical bleeding. It is also used by some boxing cutmen to control bleeding.

Surgicel is used extensively in oral and maxillofacial surgery to control intrabony arterial bleeds from the inferior alveolar artery. It is frequently used to stop bleeding following newborn circumcision if pressure alone is inadequate. When placed in the mandibular canal with the inferior alveolar nerve exposed there have been reports of neurotoxic effects.

At the start of the film, research is shown with a dog used as a subject, whose liver is cut at 2:00. At 3:17 the liver of the dog is examined a couple of months later and no trace of the hemostat is visible. At 7:00, a dog's spleen is used for testing the uniformity of the product. The film also shows a liver biopsy and other surgeries in which the material can be extremely useful in promoting healing. At 14:06 the cellulose is used with a finger injury and its effects are quite pronounced, preventing delayed healing and hemorrhage. Oral surgery is seen at 14:48, with a patient having his lower teeth extracted. 

The film discusses the use of oxidized regenerated cellulose, a novel absorbable hemostatic material designed to control bleeding in difficult surgical situations. Despite advanced tools in modern operating rooms, hemorrhage remains a challenge, and this material has shown effectiveness in various animal models by quickly achieving hemostasis and being fully absorbed by the body without adverse tissue reactions. It has broad surgical applications, including cardiovascular, neurological, liver, oral, and emergency wound care, where it min...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2a4f4a2b-639b-47dd-9c57-e69a65fc8b7a/5d074789-a628-47a0-92db-6846d5dacc38-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6e2vhpWVCaX7ChyoGzDo5A</video:player_loc><video:duration>1198</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T06:50:25.070Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kBawdPfPy3nn9L7baqc9rW</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b72603fc-c4b8-4321-9dee-fda357a2039d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITTANICA EDUCATIONAL EBE FILMS 64584</video:title><video:description>This 1978 color film celebrates 50 years of education through film and video by Encyclopedia (Encyclopaedia) Britannica. It was distributed by Suburban Audio Visual Service. At the time it was made Encyclopædia Britannica Films (also named EB Films for short) was the top producer and distributor of educational 16 mm films and later VHS videocassettes for schools and libraries, a position it held from the 1940s through the 1990s. As the film demonstrates, EB Films was a pioneer in making educational sound films, virtually creating a whole new medium in the process. The 90s however proved deadly for the company, as the internet replaced video as a primary source for educational media. Production finally came to a halt in 1995. Prior to 1943, the company operated under the name of Electrical Research Products Inc. (ERPI) Classroom Films

The film jumps from topic to topic showing some of the company's greatest films, and tracing the history of the company in the process. Eskimos eat breakfast by hand (0:53-1:06). A farmer milks a cow, squirting some to a cat (1:11-1:29). A Conquistador bursts into a church and slaps a parishioner (1:30-1:51).

Pilots trained at this school train allied nations in the operation of the F-104G. This includes pilots from Norway, Taiwan Republic of China, West Germany, Belgium, Italy, and others. At 1:38 an inspection of the aircraft is undertaken. At 2:14, pre-flight inspection is discussed -- a nine item check that is spelled out at 2:40. The rest of the film is used to show all the various details of this list.

 The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is a single-engine, supersonic interceptor aircraft which later became widely used as an attack aircraft. It was originally developed by Lockheed for the United States Air Force (USAF), but was later produced by several other nations, seeing widespread service outside the United States. One of the Century Series of fighter aircraft, it was operated by the air forces of more than a dozen nations from 1958 to 2004. Its design team was led by Kelly Johnson, who contributed to the development of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning, Lockheed U-2, Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird and other Lockheed aircraft.

The F-104 set numerous world records, including both airspeed and altitude records. Its success was marred by the Lockheed bribery scandals, in which Lockheed had given bribes to a considerable number of political and military figures in various nations to influence their judgment and secure several purchase contracts; this caused considerable political controversy in Europe and Japan.

The poor safety record of the Starfighter also brought the aircraft into the public eye, especially in German Air Force service. Fighter ace Erich Hartmann was forced to retire from the Luftwaffe due to his outspoken opposition to selection of the F-104.

The final production version of the fighter model was the F-104S, an all-weather interceptor designed b...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/109907fa-e98d-4942-9cd3-a8621869838c/a0566de9-8c0f-4119-b525-7d7a99be29c5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/33SJBdBA6apR54VmdwAfud</video:player_loc><video:duration>629</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T06:52:56.052Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oFHGrCqmq4YmHaPE8CZogb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/766b7463-a7f8-4a81-9745-53d6a4c0fa1d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NORTHWEST AIRLINES 1950s  ALASKA ESKIMOS  AIR ADVENTURE TRAVELOGUE  45274</video:title><video:description>Arctic Four Allure is a documentary film on the Eskimos of Kotzeube, Alaska and their lifestyle. It was probably made in early to mid-1950 as a promotional for Wein Alaska Airlines. The film was promoted by both Northwest Airlines and Wien Alaska Airlines.

It begins with footage of the Pan Am Clipper inaugurating service between California and China as the " China Clipper ". The aircraft shown is a Martin M-130, a commercial flying boat designed and built in 1935 by the Glenn L. Martin Company in Baltimore, Maryland, for Pan American Airways. Three were built: the China Clipper, the Philippine Clipper and the Hawaii Clipper. All three had crashed by 1945. A similar flying boat, (the Martin 156), named Russian Clipper, built for the Soviet Union, had a larger wing (giving it greater range) and twin fins. Martin named them the Martin Ocean Transports, but to the public they were the "China Clippers", a name that became a generic term for Pan Am's large flying boats – the Martin M-130, Sikorsky S-42, and Boeing 314.

At 1:30 the film shows Africa and native peoples perform a dance which is quite beautiful to watch (and the title card dares call them "savages!")  At 2:45 a huge stockyard fire is shown and at 3:37 a gigantic fire in an oil refinery or pumping station. 

At 4:00 the S.S. Morro Castle is seen on fire. The Morro Castle was an ocean liner of the 1930s that was built for the Ward Line for voyages between New York City and Havana, Cuba. The ship was named for the Morro Castle fortress that guards the entrance to Havana Bay. On the morning of September 8, 1934, en route from Havana to New York, the ship caught fire and burned, killing 137 passengers and crew members. The ship eventually beached herself near Asbury Park, New Jersey, and remained there for several months until she was towed off and scrapped.

The devastating fire aboard the TEL Morro Castle was a catalyst for improved shipboard fire safety. Today, the use of fire-retardant materials, automatic fire doors, ship-wide fire alarms, and greater attention to fire drills and procedures resulted directly from the Morro Castle disaster.

Fitzpatrick, an American producer who had earned the title of ‘The Voice of the Globe’ for his involvement in films such as this. This particular film is accompanied by Nathaniel Shilkret’s Traveltalk Orchestra (:15). It centers on Iceland (:27) a continent largely isolated by the rest of the world and founded by Vikings from Norway (:27).

Women are still wearing traditional attire shown on film (1:41) and the language has mostly remained the same since the 9th century (1:51). As the citizens of Iceland were well known to be avid readers and have the largest collection of books, a pair of men are shown playing chess (2:02) as another watches over. Icelandic ponies (2:30) trot over volcanic plains and they were the main source of transportation before the invention of the automobile (2:47). An old technique of tying the bridle of one pony to another’s tail because of the lack of trees is depicted (3:12). Utilizing one of the land’s many natural hot water springs, is a municipal laundry (3:40). For recreation, some of the springs are cool enough for swimming and children are shown jumping in (4:19). Fishing is the largest industry here and massive codfish are dragged up onto a dock (4:54). The fish are then shown salted by workers and tossed in heaps with canvas atop for drying (5:36). Young men carrying flagpoles appear on screen as they head to engage in the national wrestling sport called Glima. This sport had been kept a secret for many years and after revealed to world, the country maintained its hold over the sport allowing only it’s citizens to participate. The Icelandic flag waves as this film concludes (8:19).

"BOB" HOOVER FLIES THE SHRIKE COMMANDER  NORTH AMERICAN AIRCRAFT PROMO FILM  84464</video:title><video:description>This promotional film by North American Rockwell shows R.A. "Bob" Hoover performing maneuvers in the Shrike Commander. The Shrike was a twin piston-engined business aircraft which developed a rather staid reputation, one that Rockwell hired Hoover to debunk. As this film documents, Hoover more than did that -- showing how an aircraft not designed for stunt flying could perform incredibly well. 

The Aero Commander 500 family is a series of light-twin piston-engined and turboprop aircraft originally built by the Aero Design and Engineering Company in the late 1940s, renamed the Aero Commander company in 1950, and a division of Rockwell International from 1965. The initial production version was the 200-mph, seven-seat Aero Commander 520. An improved version, the 500S, manufactured after 1967, is known as the Shrike Commander. Larger variants are known by numerous model names and designations, ranging up to the 330-mph, 11-seat Model 695B/Jetprop 1000B turboprop.

R.A. "Bob" Hoover was one of the greatest pilots of his generation. A decorated WWII pilot and test pilot, Hoover was also the back-up pilot during the testing of the Bell X-1 supersonic aircraft. His real claim to fame however came from his work as a stunt pilot. Flying in air shows around the world wearing his trademark wide-brimmed hat, Hoover made the impossible look easy. Hoover's air show career included flights in a P-51 Mustang. The public definitely noticed when he switched to the Shrike Commander, a twin piston-engined business aircraft which had developed a rather staid reputation due to its bulky shape. Hoover showed the strength of the plane as he put the aircraft through rolls, loops, and other maneuvers which most people would not associate with executive aircraft. As a grand finale, he shut down both engines and executed a loop and an eight-point hesitation slow roll as he headed back to the runway. He touched down on one tire, then the other, before landing. After pulling off the runway, ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b9d36bdd-631d-41c0-96ea-dae3c288e204/202fea72-4cc3-4214-83a1-2aae6d4d143b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oWUgar2y4Gk3i8A8Z4SVju</video:player_loc><video:duration>799</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T07:26:35.601Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qnhZx4p6TMs8Kwmu9jxTg8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cadfa4cb-e277-4a28-9553-9e1b5379a586.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>AMERICAN SAMOA 1931 TRAVELOGUE TUTUILA  COPRA HARVEST  (WITH ENDING) 46374</video:title><video:description>Made in 1931, this travelogue of American Samoa shows the island nation as it appeared prior to WWII, before the peace of this tiny protectorate was destroyed. Predominantly shot on the island of Tutuila, the film features rare views of traditional native life including Copra harvesting.

American Samoa is an unincorporated territory of the United States located in the South Pacific Ocean, southeast of Samoa.
It consists of five main islands and two coral atolls. The largest and most populous island is Tutuila, with the Manuʻa Islands, Rose Atoll, and Swains Island also included in the territory. American Samoa is part of the Samoan Islands chain, located west of the Cook Islands, north of Tonga, and some 300 miles (500 km) south of Tokelau. To the west are the islands of the Wallis and Futuna group.

The total land area is 199 square kilometers (76.8 sq mi), slightly more than Washington, D.C. American Samoa is the southernmost territory of the U.S. and one of two U.S. territories (with the uninhabited Jarvis Island) south of the Equator. Tuna products are the main exports, and the main trading partner is the United States.

At the turn of the twentieth century, international rivalries in the latter half of the century were settled by the 1899 Tripartite Convention in which Germany and the United States partitioned the Samoan Islands into two parts: the eastern island group became a territory of the United States (the Tutuila Islands in 1900 and officially Manu'a in 1904) and is today known as American Samoa; the western islands, by far the greater landmass, became known as German Samoa after Britain vacated all claims to Samoa and accepted termination of German rights in Tonga and certain areas in the Solomon Islands and West Africa.[8] Forerunners to the Tripartite Convention of 1899 were the Washington Conference of 1887, the Treaty of Berlin of 1889 and the Anglo-German Agreement on Samoa of 1899.

Brooks’ book of the same name, presented by Motorola, and was directed by Murray Woroner of Woroner Films. The film reenacts actual case histories to show how the majority of police officer deaths in the U.S. come from officers not “following the book” and being guilty of one of several key mistakes. The film opens with shots of police officers from the state of Florida gathering for the funeral of an officer killed in the line of duty. There is a reenactment of an officer down with a gunshot wound (07:52; 03:42). A police car with lights flashing drives down a highway (04:07). A Miami police officer pulls up to the site of the “code three.” A fire rescue ambulance arrives at the scene (05:08). The film discusses the ten reasons that most likely result in the death of an officer. There is a shot from the street of the Second National Bank of North Miami (12:18), which is the scene of another example of officers not taking the situation seriously—they assume the silent alarm is a malfunction and are unexpectedly shot by bank robbers. Policemen load a flag-covered coffin into a hearse (16:41). A police car with lights flashing drives through a residential area to a house where a man with shotgun is holed up (17:11). The officer is guilty of what the film calls “Tombstone Courage” and is shot and killed in the standoff. A line of police cars drive in procession for a slain police officer’s funeral (19:30). There is a shot of a McDonald’s lit up at night (20:12). The film then concludes with the final scenario (sleeping on the job), which results in the death of the officer for whom the funeral is held.

Special thanks to David Woroner for allowing us to make his father's film available.

It presents a fast - moving history of communications from cave drawings to the jet age of electronic computers.

The film opens with ancient cave paintings and the idea that man’s deepest desire has always been to communicate with others (:51). It leads through the development of communication and we see the Egyptian Sphinx and ciphers developed (1:14). As transportation developed, person to person communication advanced and a painting of a 24-Hour Pony Express rider with a US Mail bag hitched to his saddle is depicted (2:31). Another painting of telephone lines being raised is shown (2:43) and the telegraph had been developed. Afterwards, land transportation progressed further and begins the invention of flight (3:04). In May of 1927, Charles Lindbergh climbs into the Spirit of St. Louis and he makes history flying from New York to Paris in 33 hours (3:21). The Pan Am building in New York (4:49) is shown and is the home of PANAMAC; the extensive IBM communications and reservations network. Magnetic disks which are spinning faster that can be seen with the naked eye spin on screen (5:04) and these are what store the information. A Pan Am worker utilizes a data processing system (5:36). An extensive example of a reservation clerk feeds plans into the system for a flight from Paris to New York (6:16). This example enables viewers to learn the magnetic storage had the ability to retain the multiplicity of fliers needs and plans electronically (9:46), and this was a move from paper and file storage. Quickly, Calcutta’s streets at the time are shown (10:06) with an instance of a flyer wishing to change his itinerary. PANAMAC’s air to cargo (11:05) is shown as well as the transfer of goods by clipper cargo (11:12) as well.

The event was part of war maneuvers conducted in the 1930s. At 1:18 the torpedo is seen streaking in the water towards its target, which is seen sinking at 1:29. It's unclear precisely which ship is shown sinking here, or whether in fact the torpedoes are responsible for the sinking. Most likely the footage dates from 5 September, 1924 when USS Virginia and USS New Jersey were anchored off the Diamond Shoals lightship, off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina for the tests, which were conducted by the Martin NBS-1 bombers of the 2nd Bombardment Group. Observers were aboard the Army transport ship St. Mihiel. The bombing runs began just before 9:00, and on the third attack seven NBS-1s dropped a pair of 1,100-pound (500 kg) bombs each, scoring two hits that caused extensive damage. The blast destroyed the bridge and knocked down both masts and all three funnels. The rest of the bombs landed close to the ship, causing major underwater damage. Within twenty minutes, Virginia capsized, and ten minutes later, she slipped beneath the waves sinking to 50 fathoms, joining New Jersey, which had been sunk earlier that day

The Martin T3M was an American torpedo bomber of the 1920s. A single-engined three-seat biplane, it became a standard torpedo bomber of the U.S. Navy, operating from both land bases and from aircraft carriers from 1926 to 1932.

It shows some of the history of rubber in the industrial age, including the use of rubber in automobile and airplane tires. The film then looks at the manufacture of synthetic rubber, and compares the differences between natural and synthetic rubber or polyisoprene. At 21:00, crude polyisoprene rubber are shown being moved to a customer. Erasers, basketballs, safety vests, textiles, and other applications for rubber are shown around 22 minutes.

At 12:53, a rubber industry production plant is shown, where isoprene and polyisoprene are produced in quantity.  The film ends with an image at 24:00 of an inflatable rubber space station.

A synthetic rubber is any artificial elastomer. These are mainly polymers synthesized from petroleum byproducts. About fifteen billion kilograms (thirty-three billion pounds) of rubbers are produced annually, and of that amount two thirds are synthetic. Global revenues generated with synthetic rubbers are likely to rise to approximately US$56 billion in 2020. Synthetic rubber, like natural rubber, has uses in the automotive industry for tires, door and window profiles, hoses, belts, matting, and flooring. .F. Goodrich Company scientist Waldo Semon developed a new and cheaper version of synthetic rubber known as Ameripol in 1940. Ameripol made synthetic rubber production much more cost effective, helping to meet the United States' needs during World War II.

The production of synthetic rubber in the United States expanded greatly during World War II, since the Axis powers controlled nearly all the world's limited supplies of natural rubber by mid-1942. Military trucks needed rubber for tires, and rubber was used in almost every other war machine. The U.S. government launched a major (and largely secret) effort to improve synthetic rubber production. A large team of chemists from many institutions were involved, including Calvin Sou...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e164655e-d2d4-4be2-bbc5-f05d526b5f98/8f27c724-8cdd-4731-97cf-8a9ab121f756-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tQh9xUyaF59XBbT7A3VDmU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1519</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T07:34:16.252Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cBTGRiqd1bey5rTnRZCkQv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d5a1cdc1-696b-44cb-9075-053407a5bdf4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>INFAMOUS LIQUID OXYGEN HANDLING SCARE FILM  "THE MAN FROM LOX"  81844</video:title><video:description>THE MAN FROM LOX, a liquid oxygen safety training film, is one of the most infamous films ever produced by the U.S. Government. Created in the aftermath of a series of accidents involving liquid oxygen, the film uses ironic humor to disarm the skeptical viewer, all the while setting up a very real, deeply disturbing, and quite serious finale. 

Liquid oxygen—abbreviated LOx, LOX or Lox in the aerospace, submarine and gas industries—is one of the physical forms of elemental oxygen. In commerce, liquid oxygen is classified as an industrial gas and is widely used for industrial and medical purposes. Liquid oxygen is obtained from the oxygen found naturally in air by fractional distillation in a cryogenic air separation plant.
The U.S. Air Force recognized the strategic importance of liquid oxygen, both as an oxidizer and as a supply of gaseous oxygen for breathing in hospitals and high-altitude aircraft flights. In the 1980s the USAF started a program of building its own oxygen-generation facilities at all major consumption bases. The majority of USAF personnel encounter LOX during aircraft servicing operations. Liquid oxygen is also common cryogenic liquid oxidizer propellant for spacecraft rocket applications, usually in combination with liquid hydrogen, kerosene or methane. Liquid oxygen is useful in this role because it creates a high specific impulse.It was used in the very first rocket applications like the V2 missile (under the name A-Stoff and Sauerstoff) and Redstone, R-7 Semyorka, Atlas boosters, and the ascent stages of the Apollo Saturn rockets. Liquid oxygen was also used in some early ICBMs, although more modern ICBMs do not use liquid oxygen because its cryogenic properties and need for regular replenishment to replace boiloff make it harder to maintain and launch quickly. Many modern rockets use liquid oxygen, including the main engines on the now-retired Space Shuttle.

LOX or liquid oxygen is not flammable on its own; however once combined with a f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5e176bce-bcff-41ce-aa40-7b771aa8e239/aac18379-67e1-40ba-8938-8e5133a359bd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cBTGRiqd1bey5rTnRZCkQv</video:player_loc><video:duration>342</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T07:34:40.290Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kbEy3hRb579YDhU3prh1W2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8430a0f7-1db5-4d56-8e42-befe244b0599.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ROLE OF THE BLOCK WARDEN IN THE HYDROGEN BOMB ERA  1955 CIVIL DEFENSE FILM  H-BOMB 64744</video:title><video:description>The Federal Civil Defense Administration presents Role Of The Warden In The H-Bomb Era (TB-27-3), a 1955 educational film that reviews the duties of the block or community warden in the event of a hydrogen bomb attack. The film was considered important to make because while the public had been led to believe that an atomic bomb attack might be survivable, few believed that a hydrogen bomb could be, and as the film points out "civil defense must begin at the grass roots". The film therefore presents an argument that the h-bomb is survivable with proper planning. 

The film primarily consists of illustrations, with only a few short video clips interspersed throughout. The film discusses the role of wardens in the Civil Defense program, people at the grass-roots level who lead their local community in the event of a disaster. The film opens with illustrations of the evolution of weapons and follows that with illustrations of the destruction area of an atomic bomb. The film discusses the hierarchy of the Federal Civil Defense Administration (03:20) and where the warden fits into the structure; it then discusses the duties of the warden. An urban block warden explains how he organizes his community in civil defense (05:09); illustrations show a civil defense block team holding neighborhood meetings, going door-to-door to talk with community members, and training the warden team in firefighting and first aid techniques. This is followed by illustrations of basic bomb shelters and what supplies to store in the shelters. The film then briefly shows the detonation of a hydrogen bomb (07:28). Illustrations depict the Continental Air Defense stations in the northern hemisphere (09:01) and the various types of home shelters recommended by the FCDA. A rural community warden discusses his duties. An illustration shows a CD community meeting where they discuss decontamination measures against a fallout (17:00). An illustration shows the makeshift shelters to be used out in the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9b5ad4bc-a60e-4e25-a3a3-7fa0edc8072d/cfdb145d-3201-4db3-8124-ba56757ba9c3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kbEy3hRb579YDhU3prh1W2</video:player_loc><video:duration>1659</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T07:38:39.410Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5gzN6knAD1z2T2khGxrUTc</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/49be87c8-503f-4e67-976b-11b688ca0d62.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MOBIL OIL CO. / MOBILGAS  1950 GRAND CANYON RUN  "PROOF OF PERFORMANCE"  GAS EFFICIENCY TEST 64944</video:title><video:description>This early 1950s color film is about the 1950 Mobilgas Grand Canyon Run, which compared performance across the major car manufacturers, using Mobilgas products.

The plot, which revolves around a guardian angel sent from heaven to coach a struggling Republic salesman, is straight out of a Hollywood feature. As the salesman struggles with lack of sleep, problems with his marriage and even his TV set, etc. his guardian angel (a former #1 salesman) proffers important advice. The lessons derived in the film are classic: #1 the importance of prospecting, #2 checking in with leads, #3 keep eyes open for new applications, #4 keep list of prospects' products, #5 schedule calls weekly with customers, $6 study prospects' products and market and #6 be prepared to listen and be helpful. The film contains some interesting segments including one at a diner at 29 minutes, a Standard Gas Station at 35:30, and at the start of the film scenes in heaven where the baby salesman (7:00) is seen arriving in this world in a basket. 

Republic Steel was once the third largest steel producer in the United States. It was founded as the Republic Iron and Steel Company in Youngstown, Ohio in 1899. After rising to prominence during the early 20th Century, Republic suffered heavy economic losses and was eventually bought out before re-emerging in the early 2000s as a subsidiary. The company currently manufactures Special Bar Quality (SBQ) steel bars and employs around 2,000 people. It is currently owned by Grupo Simec, based in Guadalajara, Mexico.

The film is silent and would likely have been shown with narration by a Park Ranger or other knowledgeable person at one of the Fred Harvey hotels along the Santa Fe's route. At 1:40 the view of the Canyon from the Watchtower is shown. At 2:58, a group descends into the canyon on horseback or on mules on the Bright Angel Trail. At 4:00, they arrive at the Phantom Ranch on the bottom of the Canyon. The Black Suspension Bridge also known as the Kaibab Suspension Bridge is shown. This spans the Colorado River in the inner canyon of Grand Canyon National Park. It is part of the South Kaibab Trail and is the river crossing used by mules going to Phantom Ranch. The Black Bridge and Silver Bridge, located about 700 meters downstream, are the only spans in hundreds of river miles.

At 5;13 the Phantom Ranch is seen more fully. At 6:30 a trip up Bright Angel Canyon to Ribbon Falls and then back up to the South Rim.  At 9:25 the Havasu Falls are shown on the Havasupai Indian / Supai Indian Reservation. At 12:00 a "white teacher guides 43 Indian Children in Havasu Canyon School". The film ends with footage of a storm racing across the Canyon. 

Phantom Ranch is a lodge inside Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. It is on the north side of the Colorado River near its confluence with Bright Angel Creek and Phantom Creek. Built in 1922, Phantom Ranch is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Levi and produced by WASP test pilot Betty Jane Williams, LORI Productions, for Lockheed California Company. This film opens with a gramophone, 1960s clock radio, and a “Notice to Airmen” bulletin board (:10-:26). The frosted “F-104 Flight Safety” door is shown and a pilot in an orange jumpsuit enters and joins men in suits around a conference table. The men introduce themselves; their goal is to identify if there’s a common denominator in pilot caused accidents (1:28-3:20). The lights are turned off and the film projector shows an animation of the first accident. The pilot stretches and yawns. In wing formation, he suddenly dives and crashes (3:21-4:24). The men discuss the possible cause as vertigo from tiredness (4:34-5:42). The lights are turned off and the film projector shows an animation of the second accident. An actual air speed indicator and nozzle position indicator are shown. The animated pilot ejects, lands using a parachute, and the plane hits the ground nose first (5:43-6:35). The men discuss the possible cause as not enough simulator time addressing emergency procedures (6:36-8:24). The lights are turned off and the film projector shows an animation of the third accident. The pilot gets in the plane without doing a pre-flight but the mechanic says everything is okay. Before the plane leaves the runway, it experiences a flat tire. The men discuss the possible cause as a combination of maintenance and pilot error (8:26-11:19). The lights are turned off and the film projector shows an animation of the fourth accident. The pilot takes cough medicine, flies, encounters headwinds, runs out of fuel, and ejects. The plane crashes.  The men discuss the possible cause as using drugs that impair judgement (11:20-13:22). The lights are turned off and the film projector shows an animation of the fifth accident. Two F-104s collide in formation fl...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3f827a7e-9397-48c7-bdf6-9036a09fcf5a/141f724b-f63b-413c-b274-301b6e98ef89-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8QRZnwQUaiqZXTztRPYgzU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1556</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T08:01:12.875Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ckvWwsrgMHkAmCcEcJnvk7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4d35c47f-3a29-4870-bab4-ed19fadadfee.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE F-4 PHANTOM JOINS THE FLEET   1962 MCDONNELL FILM  USS FORRESTAL  F4H-1 PHANTOM II  81084</video:title><video:description>This McDonnell produced film “The Phantom Joins the Fleet” was made in 1962 when their F4H-1 (later F-4B) Phantom II had just achieved deployment.

The film begins with shots of solar panels on houses, farm barns, and the commercial solar electric power plant Solar One (01:10), with its solar panel farm. There is a shot of a model of the power plant as well. Computer-controlled heliostats (mirrors) are tested near Albuquerque, NM (02:52) for the Solar One plant. These mirrors reflect energy onto Solar One’s tower with its solar energy receiver. People monitor the system on computers in the plant’s control room (04:50). Aerial footage shows the site of Solar One prior to the completion of construction (05:27), then the film uses graphics to show how the heliostats are arranged based on the location of the sun. Support columns await the installation of the heliostats (07:07). Additional animated graphics are used to show the sun’s energy being captured by the Solar One plant, how water is heated to create steam that drives a turbine generator, and how energy can be stored in an energy storage tank. There is more aerial footage of the completed Solar One plant (11:40) followed by a shot of a hydroelectric power plant on an alpine lake (12:06).

The SOLAR Project consists of the Solar One, Solar Two and Solar Tres solar thermal power plants based in the Mojave Desert, United States and Andalucía, Spain.

SPONSORED CHILD &amp; HOME SAFETY FILM 46124</video:title><video:description>LUCKY YOU is an animated short safety film from 1956, “presented in the Interest of Safe Living and Education by Your Coca-Cola Bottler,” that educates viewers—primarily children—on safe ways to avoid injuries from sharp objects, falling, shooting, hot objects, and crashes. The film uses an animated circus featuring “the most unusual injury defying death defying creatures in the universe”: the “Cutabus,” the “Fallabus,” the “Shootabus,” the “Burnabus,” and the “Hitabus” to present each area of danger. The narrator discuses how human skin is prone to cuts and wounds from carless handling of knives or jagged cans; a person demonstrates how to cut away from the body, as well as returning tools and knives where they go. The “Fallabus” character (03:50) has a gravity resister to avoid injuries from falling. However, people do not. A boy climbs a tree (04:05). The narrator talks about crashing and falling. A montage of children and people climbing steps, branches, and more show the potential dangers of a fall. A girl (05:14) climbs on a chair in the kitchen to take out a dish from the cupboard. Ladder safety is discussed, as a boy safely repositions the legs of his ladder on a wooden board. “Shootabus” (07:16) is a perforated character that can take a shot. The film covers basic gun safety. Boys shoot BB guns; a girl uses a bow to shoot an arrow; a boy fires his slingshot. “Burnabus” cannot be burned (09:14), unlike humans. Women relax on beach (09:28) as the narrator talks about potential burns from steam, cooking grease, and open flames. A young girl in the kitchen (10:18) uses hot pads to avoid being burned. A boy lights fire in metal container (10:40); another boy lights a camp fire (11:00). The narrator reviews the importance of ensuring that campfires are completely snuffed out. “Hitabus” (11:40) can safely take the impact of being hit by a car. Children must be alert and cautious when crossing roads. Two girls look for cars before crossing a street.

It opens with Lew Lehr, a Vaudeville comedian, who accompanies a pretty young woman to the golf course to teach her the basics of golf. The camera focuses on her short flared shorts and her swing. She wears a tight sweater and ankle strap shoes (1:20-2:50). “Ground Handling.” A pilot makes an exterior check of a P47 (28283) before strapping into the cockpit. The crew chief and officer check in with him.  The crew chief gives the pilot instructions on the cockpit instruments, including those for the gas selector, trim tabs, flaps, landing gear, oil gauges, throttle, generator switch, battery, cowl flaps, and tailwheel, all listed on a checklist. He holds the Energize switch in until the engine starts, and engages the propeller (2:51-6:30). The officer gives final instructions to the pilot, now wearing his helmet and oxygen mask.  He talks to the control tower and is given permission to taxi to the runway, which is done in a ‘s’ shape.  The wheels are just below the inboard guns. The pilot’s feet on the brakes is shown. He calls the control tower and receives permission to take off (6:31-9:14).  “Take-off.” The throttle is moved forward and the plane quickly picks up speed and takes off. The wheels close up. The same film takeoff process is reviewed again. Another takeoff is aborted due to engine failure and the plane purposely spins on the runway (9:15-11:34). “Normal Flight.”   The P47 moves through the clouds. The pilot checks the operating limits sheet and makes trim adjustments. The pilot practices steep banking turns in both directions.

It contains four segments. “Cable to Cuba.” The British ship SS Lord Kelvin lays cable in the Gulf Stream. A piece of cable is stripped back to show its components: copper wire inside plastic insulation inside a flexible tube of thin copper ribbons inside jute wrapped with heavy steel wires inside jute. Bell Telephone Laboratories engineers build amplifying stations in a tube encased in flexible sheathing. Each amplifier is hermetically sealed to protect it. The two tubes are loaded onto the SS Lord Kelvin to begin laying cable from Cuba to Key West. The process using individuals with wenches on shore, and barrels and buoy markers is shown. Women telephone operators are shown working in front of a giant switchboard (:30-4:45). An advertisement shows WWII cannons being fired, a steam engine train, and the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima (4:46-5:25). “Treasure of the Deep!” The Dow Chemical Company in Freeport, Texas extracts methyl magnesium from the ocean through a series of pumps that bring in water. Marine life is removed in the open tank process. A crane off-loads oyster shells from a barge. They are washed in large drums and subjected to heat in long rotating kilns. The heated shells are mixed with seawater in the slicker to form magnesium hydroxide. The milk of magnesia is gathered to the center by rotating blades and pumped off to another vat. In the neutralizer tank, other ingredients are mixed in to become magnesium chloride. To become solid, the liquid is evaporated in a brick-lined furnace and then raked into a chute, where it is carried along electric cells where the charges break it down into chlorine and magnesium. A forklift moves bags of magnesium into an already full storehouse. Some magnesium is used by the military in making metal for planes (5:26-8:41). “Beyond the Pipeline.”  A woman wearing an apron open...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/645c3e84-4c89-48a7-8e6f-328d5e0deacb/c2b60d71-d6fc-469b-8077-e90b5045ed36-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/doMME3oYbTqzP7bFDTDRBz</video:player_loc><video:duration>820</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T08:30:57.632Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jn5JCanf1ds3jHkrhP1xEe</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/62ac545b-eb6d-4276-b385-a91358a3c4fb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FAIRCHILD F-27 PROPJET / FOKKER F-27 FRIENDSHIP REPORT w/ ARTHUR GODFREY  64044</video:title><video:description>This film profiles the Fairchild F-27 propjet, a version of the Fokker F27 Friendship twin-engined turboprop passenger aircraft manufactured under license by Fairchild Hiller in the United States. The Fairchild F-27 was similar to the standard Fokker F27.  Television star and celebrity pilot Arthur Godfrey makes an appearance in the film, which also features test aircraft with the "Experimental" designation on the fuselage. The film likely dates to 1958-5 and shows the company factory and assembly line which at that time was located in Farmingdale, New York. 

The Fokker F27 began life as a 1950 design study known as the P275, a 32-seater powered by two Rolls-Royce Dart turboprops. With the aid of Dutch government funding, the P275 evolved into the F27, which first flew on November 24, 1955. The first prototype was powered by Dart 507s and would have seated 28. To correct a slight tail-heaviness and to allow for more seats, the second prototype (which first flew in January 1957) had a 3-foot-longer (0.91 m) fuselage, which would allow seating for 32.


A Fairchild Hiller FH-227B of the defunct Mohawk Airlines circa 1970
By this stage Fokker had signed an agreement that would see Fairchild build Friendships in the USA as the F-27. The first aircraft of either manufacturer to enter service was in fact a Fairchild-built F-27, with West Coast Airlines in September 1958. Other Fairchild F-27 operators in the U.S. included Air South, Air West and successor Hughes Airwest, Allegheny Airlines, Aloha Airlines, Bonanza Air Lines, Ozark Air Lines, Pacific Air Lines, Piedmont Airlines (1948-1989), Northern Consolidated Airlines and successor Wien Air Alaska. U.S. operators of the Fairchild Hiller FH-227 included Delta Air Lines, Mohawk Airlines, Northeast Airlines, Ozark Air Lines, Piedmont Airlines (1948-1989) and Wien Air Alaska.

Fairchild F-27s differed from the initial Fokker F27 Mk 100s in having basic seating for 40, heavier external skinning, a lengthened nose capabl...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/94b60874-840b-4ebc-b4f9-f9de4e3a98b5/0a0941b0-b337-485f-a8c3-cda8fd72cc89-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jn5JCanf1ds3jHkrhP1xEe</video:player_loc><video:duration>536</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T08:32:15.770Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8wFzwfqSBTdhLqAeWM23uH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ec4b0ff9-c17c-4ec1-8043-4611efc2dee8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>AMPHIBIOUS BEACH LANDING  SALVAGE BOAT OPERATIONS  U.S. NAVY WWII FILM   ASSAULT LANDING BOATS 65324</video:title><video:description>Amphibious Warfare: The Salvage Boat is one of a series of U.S. training films. This film discusses how salvage boats conduct their rescue operations. The film opens with footage of various landing craft hitting a beach and soldiers storming the beach. Several landing craft break down or are stranded (01:02). The film shows a salvage boat on the water (01:22) as well as a salvage boat LCPL (landing craft personal large) being lowered from a cruiser down to the water. The film provides an overview of the members of the crew on a salvage boat (02:13). A man preps a line-throwing gun (02:55). A salvage boat flies the sugar flag and cruises on the water toward a stranded boat (03:38). An aerial shot shows the salvage boat staying with its assigned assault boats (04:00); the salvage boat patrols behind the assault boats looking for stranded ships. An LCVP is stranded (04:50); the salvage boat moves to it on the down-current side. The crew of the LCVP take the heaving line and hook it to their boat; the salvage boat begins the extraction with its stern to sea. The salvage boat moves beyond the breakers (06:57), and its crew secure the rope to the towing bollard (a short, thick post on the deck of a ship or on a wharf, to which a ship's rope may be secured) and slowly take up the slack. They slowly begin to tow the stranded boat (08:16). The salvage boat pulls in the tow rope and heaving line (09:04) after the LCVP is safely back in deep water. An LCM3 is stranded on the surf (09:33); the salvage boat approaches the LCM and uses a wired bridle to tow the stranded boat. The salvage boat moves in (11:01), tosses the heaving line, and the bridle is brought aboard the LCM and fastened to both sides of the stern. A second salvage boat joins the effort (13:33) by pulling the first salvage boat, which pulls the LCM until it is in deep enough water to float and return to duty. The film concludes with a shot of the salvage boat sailing off to help another stranded boat (15:18).

The film follows fictitious newlyweds Vincent and Blanche as they arrive in Dublin on an Aer Lingus jet (00:13). Their visit to Kerry begins on the coast at Parknasilla (00:59). The couple travels to picturesque Killarney where wild flowers adorn the coastal hills. They drive their hired car along an old country road (01:55), passing rolling hills and more flowers, such as wild irises (02:12). An Irish cottage (02:33) represents Ireland’s mountain country. In the bog lands (02:54), an Irishman harvests turf. A donkey pulls a cart in rural Ireland, which is contrasted with the modern McCarthy’s Garage gas station (03:12). Driving along the Ring of Kerry, Vincent and Blanche see men building a stone wall (04:12) and cattle slowly meandering on the road (04:22). They arrive at the Great Southern Hotel in Killarney (04:25). A “Sunshine” bus (05:00) takes tourists around to see the lakes of the region. Vincent and Blanche walk through the hotel’s gardens and relax over drinks. Next, their tour of Kerry takes them to Ladies View (06:03), a scenic overlook on the road to Kenmare. They take in stunning vistas of rivers and lakes, pass tourists riding in a horse-drawn cart, then pass through a cheerful Irish town (07:10) on their way to Parknasilla. Parknasilla boasts a beautiful golf course (07:55) with sparkling waters as a backdrop to the greens. One highlight of a visit to Parknasilla is taking a boat out on the Kenmare River (09:16) for a new perspective of Parknasilla (09:29) and the coastal country. Later, the couple take a stroll on the hotel grounds (10:34), then end the day over tea or coffee. Vincent and Blanche set off again, driving down a country road (11:22) and along the coast (11:41).

"Dover" is a British Ministry of Information WWII film, released by the Office of War Information, about Dover during 1942. This version for U.S. consumption and is narrated by the American journalist and media figure, Edward R. Murrow. This film revisits England’s southern front line during World War II, focusing on the transformation of regions like Dover from sites of early vulnerability—such as the Dunkirk evacuation and the 1940 Blitz—to strongholds of Allied strength. Once threatened by German air raids, the area is now a vital hub for invasion training, with British and Allied forces preparing for offensive action against Nazi-occupied Europe. Civilians, despite enduring bombings and hardships, maintain high morale and optimism. Women take on key defense roles in anti-aircraft units, while the Royal Air Force carries out relentless air assaults over Germany. Through resilience and unity, the people and armed forces of Britain’s front line now prepare to take the fight to the enemy.

0:00 Main titles – The narrator Edward R. Murrow returns from England’s front line near Nazi territory, recalling the evacuation at Dunkirk just two years prior.

1:15 – Britain once stood alone behind the White Cliffs of Dover, awaiting attack with courage and minimal resources.

1:45 – In August 1940, German bombers attacked Dover; RAF pilots ("the few") repelled them, turning the front line into a graveyard of German aircraft.

2:17 – Today, the region still bears wartime scars but is now re-energized and preparing to strike back at Germany.

3:03 – Britain's front line has become a launch point for invasion, with fleets of assault landing craft ready for offensive action.

Mark 00:48 introduces the viewer to a diode (a specialized electronic component with two electrodes — the anode and the cathode — separated by a vacuum). At mark 01:35, the film offers further illustration as to the process. When the cathode is heated, negative electrons fly to the positive anode. This “new kind of switch,” the narrator explains at mark 02:15, is explained in great detail via diagrams, as is its use of a rectifier, which converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC) The applications of rectification are plentiful, it is said at mat 03:13, and include electric railways, electro-plating operations, use in steel mills, and in airpower. Diodes can also be used to amplify, it is said at mark 07:08, via a placement of a grid in the center of the diode, which can enhance communication. Further functions of a diode include generation of alternating current (mark 09:13), control the flow of power to a machine (mark 13:07), the ability to transform light into current (mark 14:50), and the ability to transform current into light (mark 16:23). “The cathode ray tube is an example of this application,” the narrator explains. (A CRT uses one or more electron guns and a phosphorescent screen to view images). A CRT was used in early television, it is noted at mark 16:37, and also as an x-ray tube. “Doctors can now study human internal organs … or photograph them,” it is explained. Each way is explained in detail and illustrated by a variety of graphics. Despite the detail devoted to the topic, the narrator notes at mark 18:25 that there are countless other uses. “So many and so varied are the applications of electronics that a single film like this can only mention one in a thousand. We haven’t even mentioned, for instance, radar, the electronic development that hel...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/462fce24-99c3-4fd6-86f6-ff1ffbb49664/16f720d4-0fdb-4a66-ae72-bf24e7376dd4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9EFDt6kj3fcDaneoeeygWu</video:player_loc><video:duration>1241</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T08:50:30.755Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mWc2mS9iv1iPcLwkgcbWfd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/74067de3-cdd2-4529-8536-78a9bcd0c770.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>UNITED AIRCRAFT CORPORATION / NORTHWEST ORIENT AIRLINES 1950s FISHING EXPEDITION PROMO FILM  47044</video:title><video:description>This early 1950s color film encouraging using airplanes to travel to favorite fishing spots was presented as a public service by United Aircraft Corporation and a presentation of The World Outdoors, Inc.

It was shot by Jules Buck.

The film is unflinching in its realism and was held up from being shown to the public by the United States Army. Huston quickly became unpopular with the Army, not only for the film but also for his response to the accusation that the film was anti-war. Huston responded that if he ever made a pro-war film, he should be shot.

Because it showed dead GIs wrapped in mattress covers, some officers tried to prevent troopers in training from seeing it, for fear of morale. General George Marshall came to the film's defense, stating that because of the film's gritty realism, it would make a good training film. The depiction of death would inspire them to take their training seriously. Subsequently the film was used for that purpose. Huston was no longer considered a pariah; he was decorated and made an honorary major.

In 1991, The Battle of San Pietro was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

The date of this tragic accident was September 24, 1961, the location the New Hanover County Airport. The two-engine C-123 was carrying members of the U.S. Army's Golden Knights parachute team from Fort Bragg. Three crew members were killed including the co-pilot John E. Markel and flight engineer Sgt. John M. Lesko, and the unit photographer for the Golden Knights Spc. 5 Robert T. Turner. Twelve people were injured, two of whom later died. These included a member of the Wilmington WECT-TV staff named John Neil and a civilian, James S. Craig Jr. who is often credited with bringing the battleship USS North Carolina to Wilmington. According to witnesses and you can see it in the film, the death toll would have been much higher during the aftermath except for the alert thinking of a USAF H43-B Huskie helicopter crew, who used the rotor backwash of their helicopter to retard the fire.

In this first reel of the U.S. Navy training film This Is It, likely from the early 1940s, viewers watch as newly trained pilots arrive on a U.S. carrier, where they learn the importance of their operational training. The film uses incidents that are true and authentic, “based upon combat reports in USF 74” to convey the risks facing those who are cavalier about their training and operational protocol. The film opens with a shot of a U.S. carrier at sea (1:20). A commander addresses the issue of losing planes and pilots due to the young pilots failing to take their operational training seriously. New pilots arrive, landing Douglas SBDs, Grumman TBFs, and Grumman F6Fs on the carrier (02:45). The new pilots meet in the briefing or ready room of the carrier with the commander (04:58). The film cuts to the previous group of pilots flying bombers and fighter planes flying in formation on a fighter escort (08:58). A blindfolded trainee sits in a grounded fighter (likely an F6F) and is tested on the plane’s instruments (11:12). In a simulation room, a trainee climbs out of a test cockpit (14:15) where a woman reviews his mistakes made during the simulation. The film shows a number of other shots of the previous group of pilots during their training, including sitting in a classroom learning about radio signals (16:00). The film then returns to the present situation aboard the carrier at sea (18:59). The commander addresses the new pilots in the task force on the upcoming mission (21:44), then the pilots and other crew run to their stations (27:25) to prepare for takeoff. There is a shot of the control room (28:17) before the first reel of the film ends with a shot of the planes breaking formation (29:37) to ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/907eea96-ef85-402f-85e2-8371af5ff173/1acfe9ad-f044-4a03-acc3-c3c661236490-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iQTGj336rPe8J5pVM5wNLT</video:player_loc><video:duration>1840</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T09:07:31.895Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hsZ8N3aTVdN5XgCLFJ7g55</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b5ca660c-80d1-4b13-96b6-a12c8ddc8eb0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  GERMAN INVASION OF FRANCE 1940   LUNA PARK CONEY ISLAND  ANNIE OAKLEY 53614a</video:title><video:description>Assembled from the General Newsreel Co.'s holdings, this issue of Yesterday’s Newsreel provides film clips of news highlights.

In 1931, George, Blanche and daughters Kathryn and Janet Hutchinson became nationwide celebrities as the Flying Hutchinsons, when they visited the capitals of all 48 United States by air. Further fame came when 'the Flying Family' attempted an around-the-world flight the next year; their Sikorsky S-38 aircraft crash-landed off Greenland, and the family were stranded for several days before being picked up by a fishing trawler and transported to the United Kingdom. George and Blanche wrote two books about their adventures - The Flying Family in Greenland (1935) and Flying the States (1937) - and the family were pictured on cer...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8556c452-ddeb-4ea7-a713-a7f0aabe44f8/b1856d24-026e-45c9-845d-9efd78124484-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hsZ8N3aTVdN5XgCLFJ7g55</video:player_loc><video:duration>567</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T09:08:38.327Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hQwW1tLc2Vr6Jk2UGoYJio</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/181fafe6-4219-4eff-be93-3b377ccacba5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY SEALAB I UNDERWATER HABITAT  SATURATION DIVING 1964 DOCUMENTARY FILM 25304</video:title><video:description>In 1964 off the coast of Bermuda, SEALAB I was lowered to a depth 192 feet.  This film documents that amazing event.  The Sealab I experiment was to test the theories of saturated diving and the ability of humans to live and operate at extreme pressures.  The test involved four divers: LCDR Robert Thompson, MC; Gunners Mate First Class Lester Anderson; Chief Quartermaster Robert A. Barth; and Chief Hospital Corpsman Sanders Manning.  The top side commander was  Captain George F. Bond, also called "Poppa Topside."  The mission called for the four divers to stay submerged for three weeks, but the project was stopped only after 11 days due to threat of a tropical storm which posed a danger to the ocean surface support staff. Introduced and narrated by Academy Award nominated film actor Jack Cooper ("Skippy" - 1931).  Cooper also played editor Perry White in the Superman movies made in the 1980's.

It opens with dressed pilots waiting on the ground, laughing and talking with each other. A line of RAF fighter planes is shown, with uniformed pilots dashing out a door. The camera scans a control room where military officers on multiple floor levels contemplate a giant mat on the table. Pilots stand and talk with officers. A group of pilots lounge in a room, fully dressed and waiting to be called into action. They read, smoke cigarettes, and nap (:32-1:36).

The pilot is scanned from the ground-up, beginning with his boots, pants with front pockets at the knees, parachute, Mae West life jacket, and helmet with the face mask hanging. He climbs back in wearing all this bulky gear. He is belted in and secures his combined face oxygen mask and radio telephone. His hand is shown on the throttle and stick and the plane takes off.

A cotton bloom opens (0:27-0:32). Hanging samples of cotton fabrics are praised in multiple languages (:33-2:18). A time-lapse sequence of a cotton plant growing is shown (2:44-3:49). Cotton buds open in slow motion (3:50-4:32). Illustrations of ancient inhabitants of India are shown growing cotton, Arabs carrying cotton on camels, a “vegetable lam”, and Columbus holding up cotton to Queen Isabella (4:33-5:27). Illustrations of increasingly industrialized looms are shown weaving cotton for commercial use (5:28-5:55). Vintage cotton manufacturing is shown: bulk storage, spun into thread by machine, dried, cut, and sewn into clothing (5:56-6:15). Real cotton is shown up-close: processed stuffing, on the seed pods, and being pulled apart (6:16-6:52). An animated illustration shows how cotton fibers grow from the seed, including animated close-ups of a single cotton fiber forming, drying, and twisting (6:53-7:52). Scientists analyze cotton in a field, manually fertilizing and covering to prevent further natural fertilization (7:53-9:15). A farmer drives a vintage John Deere tractor tilling and aerating the soil of growing cotton (9:16-10:09). A beetle sits on a cotton bud. A vintage John Deere tractor sprays pesticides. An airplane sprays the cotton to wither the leaves (10:10-10:59). Vintage farm machinery harvests dried cotton and transfers it to trailers.

The film opens with a B-24 on a sandy runway preparing for takeoff (01:21). A pilot sits in the cockpit and begins takeoff operations. The ship takes flight at 150 mph. Footage from the cockpit shows the crew reducing power (03:00), which is followed by a shot of a propeller. The crew blends propeller shadows (03:47). The B-24 climbs 1,000 feet per minute. In the cockpit, the crew monitors the rate of climb (04:45), oil pressure, fuel pressure, and oil temperature. The B-52 climbs to its cruising altitude of 9,000 feet by climbing a little over 9,000 feet then dropping down to that altitude. The copilot resynchronizes the propellers (07:23). The B-52 tries to gain speed under reduced power (08:45). A member of the crew checks to make sure that the flaps and landing gear are fully retracted (09:22) and that the turrets are facing the tail to minimize drag. Footage shows the manifold pressure gauges (11:00). The ship climbs to a higher altitude, and there is good shot of the B-24 flying over mountains (12:23). The plane banks at a 30-degree turn maintaining altitude (12:50), then performs a 60-degree turn (13:25). The next operation is climbing elevation in order to dive the ship (14:44; 16:25). Speed is then reduced to 150 mph for maneuvers with flaps extended (17:34), including turns (17:50; 18:40; 19:30), a stall with power off (20:57; 21:20), and a stall with flaps and gear down (22:14; 22:37). The B-24 climbs to 9,200 feet (24:26) before leveling off at 9,000 feet, then the crew feathers the engines (25:00), increasing manifold pressure and stopping one eng...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6d4e8bce-cd9b-4bf5-8f26-f2031d3c19d1/35c7e732-2024-407b-91d9-90b935a173fc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/euSaPPP5SNTda4Mjgw9fu2</video:player_loc><video:duration>1947</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T09:30:33.884Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/19oHmTfRoiLUDK7BLru66g</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/28413150-8491-4ece-99db-72b16dc6a42a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1958 CRUISE TO HAWAII ABOARD LINER SS MATSONIA   HONOLULU 63974</video:title><video:description>This silent film, a home movie from 1958, shows a cruise to Hawaii aboard the liner SS Matsonia, the former SS Monterey. This was one of the last if not the last visits of the ship to Honolulu, as passenger service to the islands began to lose ground to air travel. At 5:00 men swim near the liner and it approaches the docks. At 5:18 the famous Aloha tower is shown on the quay. At 5:30 the Matson embarkation facility is shown and at 5:45 passengers leave on the gangplank. At 6:00 a resort on Waikiki Beach is shown, most likely the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.  The Halona Blow Hole is shown at 8:00. At 8:50 a swimming pool is seen while guests in formal wear walk by the deck. At 9:25 a stunning sunset over the resort. At 13:24 hula dancers perform and guitar playing women serenade the tourists.  At 17:00 a grander hula act is shown. At 27:00, a memorial is shown, likely dating to WWII, as well as a small church. At 28:35 a beautiful rainbow is shown over the Waikiki area. At 29:40 the ship departs Honolulu's Pier 10 amidst streamers and confetti. At 30:00 another ship with the letter H on the stacks is seen in port. This is likely the SS President Roosevelt during her time as a liner in service for the ill-fated Hawaiian Steamship Company.

SS Monterey was a luxury ocean liner launched on 10 October 1931. The ship was completed April 1932 and is shown in registers as a 1932 ship.Monterey was the third of the four ships of the Matson Lines "White Fleet", which were designed by William Francis Gibbs and also included SS Malolo, SS Mariposa and SS Lurline. Monterey was identical to Mariposa and very similar to Lurline. During World War II Monterey was used as a troopship operated by Matson as agents of the War Shipping Administration (WSA). Monterey was a large, fast transport capable of sailing independently and was allocated to serving Army troop transport requirements.The ship was involved in an attack on a convoy near Cape Bougaroun.

Photographed in combat areas by cameramen of the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, the film documents the Battle of Iwo Jima. The film opens with a shot of a battleship sailing on the sea (00:32). It discusses the island of Iwo Jima and uses graphics to show the makeup of the island and the network of tunnels built by Japanese troops. A shot of Iwo Jima from the POV of a plane (01:43) gives way to U.S. Navy battleships firing heavy artillery on the island. Planes (appears to be Grumman F6F Hell Cats) take off from carrier (2:18) to strafe and bomb the island. Gunboats (03:00) move in close to the island and fire on enemy installations. U.S. guns continue firing into the night. There is a shot of the American flag with artillery shells being fired into the sky behind it (04:10). An aerial shot of Marine Corps landing craft preparing to head for beach (04:17) provide viewers with the scope of the invasion. Waves of Marines stay calm as they approach the beach; 500 landing craft hit the shores and the soldiers immediately take cover from enemy fire. There is footage of injured and dead soldiers being evacuated by the medical corps. Tanks make shore and push inland (06:30), allowing the Marines to advance from Yellow Beach. On Green Beach, men are pinned down (07:25) by Japanese fire coming from fortifications on Mount Suribachi. The U.S. Command Ship (08:00) receives a request for assistance, and planes soon bomb Japanese targets while Navy ships also fire on Mount Suribachi. Patrols move forward, including one with a soldier armed with a flame thrower (09:25). Admiral Turner (10:05) orders a cease fire as Marines climb Mount Suribachi. U.S. Marines summit the top and raise the American flag (10:25). Supplies are brought ashore (10:55) in preparation for the push north against the bulk of Japanese forces.

The eruption destroyed the villages of San Sebastiano al Vesuvio, Massa di Somma, Ottaviano, and part of San Giorgio a Cremano.  From March 18 to 23, 1944, lava flows appeared within the rim. There were outflows. Small explosions then occurred until the major explosion took place on March 18, 1944.

At the time of the eruption, the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) 340th Bombardment Group was based at Pompeii Airfield near Terzigno, Italy, just a few kilometers from the eastern base of the mountain. The tephra and hot ash damaged the fabric control surfaces, the engines, the Plexiglas windshields and the gun turrets of the 340th's B-25 Mitchell medium bombers. Estimates ranged from 78 to 88 aircraft destroyed.

The eruption could be seen from Naples, roughly 10 miles distant. Different perspectives and the damage caused to the local villages were recorded by USAAF photographers and other personnel based nearer to the volcano.

Mount Vesuvius (Italian: Monte Vesuvio, Latin: Mons Vesuvius) is a stratovolcano in the Gulf of Naples, Italy, about 9 km (5.6 mi) east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. It is one of several volcanoes which form the Campanian volcanic arc. Vesuvius consists of a large cone partially encircled by the steep rim of a summit caldera caused by the collapse of an earlier and originally much higher structure.

Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the burying and destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. That eruption ejected a cloud of stones, ash and fumes to a height of 33 km (20.5 mi), spewing molten rock and pulverized pumice at the rate of 1.5 million tons per second, ultimately releasing a hundred thousand times the thermal energy released by the Hiroshima bombing. An estimated 16,000 people died due to hydrothermal pyroclastic f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/89234c34-c1c2-4378-97da-bb705a4637e7/23ef6eb8-24b4-48fe-ace5-d650704bc175-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hWcdRnA47ei594hHhKgHrR</video:player_loc><video:duration>813</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T09:41:46.419Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kYGEc6ffECqRYkUKK6Tmkr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/97c45cd0-d494-43b8-b69d-4f3740bb175a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CLEARING THE WAY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE UNITED NATIONS BUILDING  NEW YORK CITY  47374</video:title><video:description>"Clearing The Way For The United Nations" is a short film from the late 1940s or early 1950s about preparations for building the new U.N. headquarters in New York City. The film opens with a shot of New York City (00:17) and the U.N. complex. An engineer sits at a drafting table (01:05) and tells viewers about the story of planning for and building the U.N. complex between 42nd and 48th street and between the East River and 1st Avenue. The engineer says the first thing he needs to do is get to know the neighborhood; the film cuts to shots of the neighborhood: streets, a horse-drawn cart, traffic, kids playing on a street, buses, cattle moving into a pen, a Shell gasoline station, men playing bocce ball, and kids playing on massive gravel pile. The kids are kicked out of lot as men put up a fence. The kids march down the street (05:22) only to run into another fence. They see a building slowly being demolished (06:14), then go into a store (06:38) to get ice-cream and complain about the loss of their “playground.” A customer there explains the importance of U.N. to them. A woman, a simultaneous interpreter for the U.N., joins the conversation and explains the story of finding a place for the U.N. headquarters. The Secretariat of the U.N. offices are first located out on Long Island (08:21) and a building from the World’s Fair is used as a temporary meeting place (08:31). She explains how John D. Rockefeller, Jr. helped secure the land in New York City (09:10) to be used for the permanent headquarters. The film then cuts to a band playing as people gather (09:25) to watch the groundbreaking ceremony of the U.N. headquarters, where it appears that Mayor William O’Dwyer (09:47) says a few words. People perform traditional dances (10:43) as part of the ceremony. Back at the ice-cream store, the engineer walks in and joins the group, explaining the process to the kids. U.N.

At 1:50 the aircraft takes off and flies into the combat zone. At 2:20 aerial footage of South Vietnam is shown.

The Cessna L-19/O-1 Bird Dog was a liaison and observation aircraft. It was the first all-metal fixed-wing aircraft ordered for and by the United States Army following the Army Air Forces' separation from it in 1947. The Bird Dog had a lengthy career in the U.S. military, as well as in other countries.During the course of the Vietnam War, 469 O-1 Bird Dogs were lost to all causes. The USAF lost 178, the USMC lost 7, and 284 were lost from the U.S. Army, South Vietnamese Forces, and clandestine operators. Three Bird Dogs were lost to enemy hand-held surface-to-air missiles (SAMs).

At 2:57 a slate indicates the film is shot at Dongtam on July 6, but no year is shown. Đồng Tâm Base Camp (also known as Đồng Tâm Army Airfield) is a former U.S. Army and Navy and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) base west of Mỹ Tho in the Mekong Delta, southern Vietnam. At 3:10 a plane called the Deuces Wild (with nose art ) is shown. At 4:05 a Huey helicopter lands at the base.

This was the 1965 deployment of B-52D Stratofortresses as conventional bombers from bases in the US to Guam to support ground combat operations in Vietnam. Arc Light missions continued until the cessation of hostilities by all U.S. forces on August 15, 1973. Between June 1965 and August 1973, 126,615 B-52 sorties were flown over Southeast Asia. During those operations, the U.S. Air Force lost 31 B-52s: 18 from hostile fire over North Vietnam and 13 from operational causes.

During Operation Arc Light (Arc Light, and sometimes Arclight) from 1965 to 1973, the United States deployed B-52F Stratofortresses from bases in the US to Guam to provide close air support to ground combat operations in Vietnam. The conventional bombing campaign was supported by ground-control-radar detachments of the 1st Combat Evaluation Group (1CEVG) in Operation Combat Skyspot. Arc Light operations usually targeted enemy base camps, troops concentrations, and supply lines.

Previously dedicated to carrying nuclear weapons, in 1964 the U.S. Air Force began to train strategic bomber crews to deliver conventional munitions flying the B-52F.

The B-52Fs were deployed to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam and U-Tapao Royal Thai Navy Airfield in Thailand. To add conventional bomb capacity, Project Big Belly modified all B-52Ds to enable them to carry 30 tons of conventional bombs.

By the middle of April 1966, all B-52Fs were redeployed back to the US and were replaced by the Big Belly modified B-52D. Later in the Vietnam War, the B-52G was also deployed with the B-52D.

Congressional investigations of secret CIA activities in Laos revealed that B-52s were used to systematically bomb targets within Laos and Cambodia.

This fascinating film shows the procedure used to sort air cadets and guide them towards positions as pilots, navigators and bombardiers based on their aptitude. To make the selections the Air Corps devised a series of tests, many of which are seen in the film. These included agility and mental fitness tests using electronic equipment, medical checks, stress tests, and written exams to reveal language, math and technical skills.  There were so many recruits to process that some tests (seen at the 7:30 mark) even utilized early computers and electronic scoring. At the end of the film a commander talks about how not ever air recruit can become a pilot, while explaining how important it is to serve as an air crewman. This reveals the real purpose behind this film: to psychologically prepare air recruits for the possibility that they might not become a pilot.

A semi-truck drives by a “Ship Federal Express” building (1:34). A Firestone executive glances through a “Put the Pair on Air” marketing brochure for Firestone Airide Airsprings (1:36-2:09).  A cartoon explains what air suspension is  (2:23-3:04). Suspension systems shown are buggy-style elliptical leaf springs, semi-elliptical springs, coil springs, steel torsion springs, rubber in compression, rubber in shear, combinations of rubber and helical springs, and pneumatic springs (2:10-3:45).  A simple air spring is demonstrated in a cartoon with a piston operating in a cylinder, followed by Firestone Airsprings (4:00-4:39). Vintage pages from Scientific American Journal  magazines show different patents for air springs (4:40-5:15).  Firestone pneumatic spring inventor Roy Brown points to a chalkboard of his invention in 1938 (5:17-5:45).  Various Airide springs pass by on a conveyer belt in Firestone’s Airide plant at Noblesville, Indiana. Women factory workers handle parts of the manufacturing process. After balkanization, plates are crimped over the ends to hermetically seal them. Air tightness and operating pressure are checked in a testing laboratory.

The enemy combatant at :16 appears to be an officer. At :30 smoke from an artillery strike is visible and at :47 what appears to be an air strike slams onto a distant ridge. At 1:00 a wide shot of the battlefield is shown and more artillery strikes are evident. At 2:45 in a scene reminiscent of the TV series MASH, a medical evacuation occurs by Bell Model 47 helicopter. At 3:48 a slate indicates the film was shot in September of 1951, during which time the Battle of Inchon was raging. At this point a denuded landscape is shown with Marines marching along a rough trail. At 4:28 a group of wounded soldiers are seen being moved in stretchers. It's obviously exhausting work as up to eight men carry the stretchers. At 7:30, more North Korean or Chinese prisoners are shown. At 7:45 a wounded soldier with his face bandaged lies on a stretcher. At 8:12 a Huey dusts up a landing area and -- just like in M*A*S*H -- the stretcher bearers move up to the helicopter and load the wounded. At 9:30 the chopper zooms away to hospital. At 10:00 a tail slate -- Sept. 16, 1951.

The Bell 47 is a single rotor single engine light helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter. It was based on the third Bell 30 prototype, which was the company's first helicopter designed by Arthur M. Young. The 47 became the first helicopter certified for civilian use on 8 March 1946. More than 5,600 Bell 47s were produced, including those under license by Agusta in Italy, Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan, and Westland Aircraft in the United Kingdom. The Bell 47J Ranger is a modified version with a fully enclosed cabin and fuselage. The Bell 47 entered U.S. military service in late 1946, in a variety of versions and designations for three decades. It was designated H-13 Sioux by the U.S. Army, and during the Korean War, it served a variety of roles, including reconnaissanc...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b63efb7a-5657-4d61-8a1e-97166a25fc57/1dd03f77-cb15-409e-b6cb-2ade53c43657-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ovgc9kNqNpPsnjbCEhrpSx</video:player_loc><video:duration>628</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T10:04:38.685Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2Jh7JxePCDuDS3Yrejf1GC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/41130a27-515b-4943-bfd5-8c80a7c5fc38.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1965 U.S. NAVY  CAREERS IN OCEANOGRAPHY  RECRUITMENT FILM  21994</video:title><video:description>Created in 1965 by the U.S. Navy, this film details the field of oceanography, which at that time appeared filled with promise. The film presents the view that, by harnessing tides hundreds of times more powerful than Niagara, and exploiting mineral and petrochemical resources as well as marine life, mankind can reach a bright future.  The film also shows some of the history of oceanographic research from Greek times to the modern era.

Some of the interesting shots in the film include the Balao class submarine USS Chopper underwater at 2:00, the Deepstar and Alvin submersibles at 5:30, surfing at 6:40, a university at 9:20, SCUBA diving at 11:00, work with electronic drafting equipment at 13:50, research buoys at 14:00, geodetic survey at 14:10, the National Oceanographic Data Center at 15:00 with punchcard computers and mainframes. At 15:16 data tapes are stored in huge racks. At 15:48 the exploration of the Marianas Trench with the Bathyscaphe Trieste is shown. The Moray submersible and Aluminaut are also shown, as well as plans for the NR-1 research submarine. At 27:00 the Oregon State University research vessel Yaquina is shown. Also shown is USS Sands (T-AGOR-6) a Robert D. Conrad-class oceanographic research ship that served the U.S. Navy from 1965 to 1973. During that period she provided valuable ocean-bottom information and underwater test data to the U.S. Navy and other U.S. agencies.

Oceanography also known as oceanology and marine science, is the branch of Earth science that studies the ocean. It covers a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. These diverse topics reflect multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend to further knowledge of the world ocean and understanding of processes within: astronomy,...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0e004f13-c67e-4293-bac0-51d63fbbdde4/e24af90d-deb8-455c-8a5a-1312a831583d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2Jh7JxePCDuDS3Yrejf1GC</video:player_loc><video:duration>1692</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T10:07:15.761Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3KEcSt9647yJzNczVMbnnm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4d6abdd9-8929-4af7-8374-075863b31174.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DUTIES OF AN AMERICAN COMMUNITY / CITIZENSHIP  1950s EDUCATIONAL FILM 63884</video:title><video:description>Made by Young America Films as part of a series of educational films about citizenship, this 1950s short illustrates how a community can solve problems together. The film shows the importance of civic action and personal responsibility. In the film a local citizen in Elmdale — a fictional town that represents main street USA -- named Bert Henderson discovers that there are no doctors living within 20 miles of his home. He then works with the Kiwanis Club and local leaders to recruit a doctor.  The sought-after doctor is played by "Carnival of Souls" director Herk Harvey. Arden Booth narrates. The film ends with a statement about the power of the individual and the memorable line at 24:40, "There isn't anything you can't do, if you believe in it, it's right, and you go to work on it." "I guess that's democracy."

It was produced by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). The show depicts complicated industrial processes that transform raw materials into finished products available for consumption by Americans. Its episodes generally contain several sections, each of which looks at a different aspect of some larger topic within industry.

The companies featured in this episode include: 

The C&amp;H Sugar Company and its plantations on Hawaii are shown at 1:00, with a focus on the shipment of unrefined sugar to the mainland, and competition against foreign sugar. The Hilo Sugar Plantation is also shown.

At 4:40, a segment looks at the L.G. Balfour Co. in Massachusetts which makes trophies. Founded as the L.G. Balfour Company, Balfour today is an operating unit of Commemorative Brands, Inc. Lead is used to make castings of trophy statues. At 7:30 the Vandenburg Trophy is shown, awarded to top military pilots every year.

At 7:50 the show looks at a maker of office cubicles or partitions, which are made by the Arnot-Jamestown Division of Aetna Steel Products in Jamestown, New York. Compared to modern partitions these are very solid and heavy -- made of steel!

At 10:30, "A Message from Industry to You" presents a lesson about the importance of public opinion and faith in self government, with images of citizens voting.

At 11:00 the film shows a land yacht or recreational vehicle. These mobile homes, known as the Safari, are built by Saginaw Manufacturing which used to built pulleys. At 12:30, a home that is being moved is shown as the Safari drives past. Both are "mobile homes" but only the Safari provides a truly alternative lifestyle.


The show was nationally syndicated, and local stations could show it free of charge—which they did, in a wide range of different time slots.

"Bougainville A Step to Victory" presents the WWII Bougainville Campaign starting in mid-1943, when the Allies began their campaign to dismantle Japan’s empire by targeting  Bougainville, focusing on neutralizing Japanese ground forces and airbases through intense bombing and naval bombardment. On November 1st, Marines launched a major amphibious assault, quickly establishing a beachhead despite fierce Japanese resistance and air attacks. Reinforcements arrived later in November, and brutal jungle fighting continued into early 1944, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. Intelligence revealed a planned Japanese counterattack in March, leading to weeks of fierce combat, but the Allies ultimately repelled the assault. By May 1944,  Bougainville was firmly in Allied hands, serving as a crucial base for further operations aimed at advancing closer to Japan’s home islands.

0:20 – By mid-1943, the Allies initiated efforts to dismantle Japan’s empire, targeting Bougainville to immobilize Japanese ground forces and destroy their air bases.

0:50 – Air raids began in July, focusing on northern Japanese airfields and defenses, with systematic bombing of supply dumps, airstrips, and installations.

1:18 – The 3rd Marine Division embarked for the main assault, sailing in a deceptive arc to mislead Japanese reconnaissance.

1:43 – On November 1st, D-Day, Allied naval forces and dive bombers heavily bombarded the landing zones at Purata Island and Cape Torokina.

2:00 – Marines landed at 06:45, initially facing light resistance but soon encountering Japanese attempts to disrupt the landings with persistent air attacks.

2:30 – Despite delays caused by enemy air raids, Allied forces shot down 18 Japanese plane...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/58f6a675-983e-455e-8d9a-6aece2157235/e4663bb3-a68c-49bf-93a4-835213c79937-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bZawkhJsQpWzP8nQm1tNJ2</video:player_loc><video:duration>567</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T10:17:42.532Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hGeH6mfmU3HAPYCXTUV3vF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d03d897e-3d88-4f73-a553-722063f1b2a7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s POLICE CIVILITY TRAINING FILM  "PLAY IT COOL"   INTERACTION W/ PUBLIC   65114</video:title><video:description>This late 1960s color training film for police officers “Play it Cool – A Question of Attitudes” is about how attitudes affect situations between police and citizens. It was produced in cooperation with the International Association of Chiefs of Police, Inc. and distributed by Association Instructional Materials. It was written and directed by Lee R. Bobker. Some of the film is just the narrator looking at the camera and explaining points. The film opens from the vantage point of a group of teenagers sitting on a car hood parked along the street. Two police officers approach. One uses his billy club to touch the chest of one of the young men. This is seen as an escalation and the guys get more aggressive in their speech. The same situation is shown from the police officers’ point of view, who see the guys as belligerent and argumentative (:08-2:44). The confrontation is shown again (4:11-5:00). A motorcycle officer with sirens on aggressively points and pulls a car over, sternly approaches the car, and brusquely asks questions. The same scenario is shown with the officer using a friendlier approach, and the driver is also much friendlier in return (6:00-8:28). Two men argue on a street corner and start a fist fight. Two officers run up and try to aggressively separate the two men, leaving them in proximity to each other and they attack each other again. The scene is shown again with the two officers each taking one of the men and walking and talking with them in opposite directions (8:30-10:45). A group of high school students are blocking the entrance to the high school. Some walk and carry picket signs.

The film focuses on an incident on May 13, 1960 when the Committee convened in San Francisco’s City Hall. While the committee met, students protested in the hallways and outside the building, leading to clashes with the police and the arrest of 64 students. "Operation Abolition"shows footage of the incident taken from subpoenaed San Francisco TV station newsreels, using that footage to allege that the students were Communists and/or instigated by Communist agents. The film’s narrators, Representative Francis E. Walter, Chairman of HUAC, and Fulton Lewis III, son of a prominent anti-communist radio commentator, suggest that the protesters were members of and/or “duped” by groups whose ultimate goal was to destroy the committee, weaken the FBI, and reduce the enforcement powers of the Federal government. Despite being a newsreel produced by a government agency, Operation Abolition was surprisingly popular. According to Time Magazine, an estimated 15 million people saw this film.

In response to "Operation Abolition" a counter film was made entitled "Operation Correction". Operation Correction shows the same footage as Operation Abolition, interspersed with added commentary by Ernest Besig, the Executive Director of the ACLU of Northern California.

"Silent Service" episodes were based on fact and the realism was heightened by actual use of combat footage from the files of the Navy. The stories were varied between the South Pacific during World War II and the Korean War. The series was the brainchild of Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers, who retired from the Navy in 1949 after 22 years service and introduces this episode.

This episode stars Fred Eisley and Gil Lasky. The plot is based on actual events. The plot revolves around crewman John Laboon, who has his life strangely touched when, as USS Peto works a lifeguard patrol, he rescues a drowning flier. The episode shows standard rescue procedures with a PBY Catalina used as spotter aircraft. 

USS Peto (SS-265), a Gato-class submarine, was a ship of the United States Navy named for the peto, a sharp-nosed tropical fish of the mackerel family. 

John Francis "Jake" Laboon, Jr. (11 April 1921 – 1 August 1988) was an officer of the United States Navy, who served as a submariner in World War II and as a Roman Catholic chaplain in the Vietnam War. Lieutenant Junior Grade Laboon was awarded the Silver Star for his heroic actions on Peto's tenth war patrol. Following pick-up of a downed American pilot near Honshū, the crew searched for his wingman. The second aviator was soon spotted, but the water was shallow and mined, preventing Peto from maneuvering closer. To make matters worse, they were under intense enemy fire from a Japanese shore battery.

The film was to teach the basics about the astronomy of the galaxies and  was produced in association with the Educational Testing Service (ETS), Princeton, N.J. with the assistance of the National Science Foundation (NSF), Washington, D.C.  The Educational Testing Service was founded in 1947. The National Science Foundation was formed in 1950 to support research and education in non-medical fields of science and engineering. The narrator is Dr. Donald F. Hornig who joined the staff at Princeton University in 1957 and later became chairman of the Princeton Chemistry Department. Producer-Director was Bert Shapiro a cinematographer who produced films from the late 1940’s to the early 1960’s. The film includes footage of Edwin Hubble at 3:19, 3:46, and 5:57. played a crucial role in establishing the fields of extragalactic astronomy and observational cosmology.

The film shows modern buildings, industry, laboratories, schools, power plants and electrification, the oil industry, and more. The film then transitions to speak about exporting socialism to other nations so that they can enjoy similar progress in their societies. If only the on-going threat from the West including the USA, can be reduced or eliminated...Narration: During the years of Soviet rule, thousands of villages in our country have lost their parochial look. Such villages could now be referred to as towns. Cultural oases have appeared in them: clubs, folk theatres, libraries. (00.36) ‘Put an end to the cultural backwardness of villages!’ We're now busy solving this great social task. (00.52) New standard plans are being developed, according to which thousands of new buildings have already been built. (01.06)The cultural equality of villages and cities has not yet been achieved, but undoubtedly it will be. (01.26)A simple, but magnificent, historical fact. On November 14, 1918, a cargo train left Moscow for the West. We can’t say if that train looked like this one. What we know is this: its properly sealed wagons carried a precious cargo, bread and black rusks for the protesting workers of Germany. (02.10) Today we are considerably richer. More than 600 facilities have been or are being built according to projects created by Soviet specialists on preferential credit conditions in the young countries of Asia and Africa. (02.28) Thousands of kilometers away from home, our people are working hard. Engineers, technicians, laborers. They build, operate machinery, and they teach our Arab friends to do the same. (03.08) Patrice Lumumba University. Actively helping modern national liberation movements is an international duty of the Soviet government.

This particular episode is different in that it tells the story of a German U-boat. "Silent Service" episodes were based on fact and the realism was heightened by actual use of combat footage from the files of the Navy. The stories were varied between the South Pacific during World War II and the Korean War. The series was the brainchild of Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers, who retired from the Navy in 1949 after 22 years service and introduces this episode.

This episode stars Carleton Young as Richards, John Wengraf as Donitz, Kurt Krueger as Hauser and Werner Klemperer as Captian Prien. The plot is based on the daring mission of the U-47, which penetrated the British home waters near Scapa Flow to attempt to cripple the Royal Navy.

The episode includes footage shot at the U.S. Navy's submarine school in New London at the start. It also uses captured German footage to show the start of the U-47's patrol and underway. The interior of the U-boat however is an American submarine used in "Silent Service" episodes.

German submarine U-47 was a Type VIIB U-boat of Nazi Germany's navy (Kriegsmarine) during World War II.She was laid down on 25 February 1937 at Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft in Kiel as yard number 582 and went into service on 17 December 1938 under the command of Captain Günther Prien.

During U-47's career, she sank a total of 31 enemy vessels and damaged eight more, including the British battleship HMS Royal Oak on 14 October 1939. U-47 ranks as one of the most successful German U-boats of World War II.

On 8 October 1939, U-47 began her second patrol. On 14 October 1939 (six days after leaving port), she succeeded in penetrating the Royal Navy's primary base at Scapa Flow.[8] Although most of the Home Fleet was not at the base at the time, U-47 managed to find a target, the battleship HMS Royal ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2b431c19-328d-4503-bcd2-afb423f2ec16/f7211fa1-dff6-4529-b57c-7237ea0f3b47-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6kR9eECYZYUHnvTcCGZqJb</video:player_loc><video:duration>1589</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T10:42:18.947Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rD22fneEQxrcbABUd8zvcH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/66ed3cc6-f640-44dc-a0f6-f01105c1c46e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BENGAL TIGER &amp; INDIAN LEOPARD   INDIA BIG CAT HUNTING TRIP &amp; HONG KONG VISIT  56394</video:title><video:description>Created by Paul Salvino, a veteran Alaska truck driver who had a passion for big game hunting, this silent film (which would have originally been presented with Salvino's narration) documents a trip to India to hunt Bengal tigers and other big cats. At this time the killing of these animals was officially sanctioned by the state and viewed as a form of tourism.

At 25:00, native game is shown in the preserve. At 28:00, an Indian Leopard is shown after being shot by the Salvino party. It is butchered at 29 minutes. At 29:28 a wild boar is shown after being killed. At 29:43 Salvino poses with his beloved rifle. At 31:00 the hunt for the Bengal tiger has been successful; at 31:04 the teeth of the deceased creature are examined. At 32:00 local villagers view the carcass and celebrate its demise.

The film begins at the Cunard pier at :17, as the ship is loading passengers and cargo. At :28 the gangplanks are retracted and the ship begins its trip as passengers and loved ones wave goodbye. At :35 images of New York Harbor are seen including the Statue of Liberty in the distance as well as Ellis Island. A four stack liner is seen at 1:22. At 2:12 passengers engage in a little sports on deck to keep themselves occupied. At 2:30 some bagpipes provide accompaniment to the day along with a drum corps. At 3:00, a little boxing match and some other games including a pillow fight are seen. At 3:50 the ocean liner itself is seen, probably from a boat used to disembark passengers. Based on her single stack it's possible this ship is the RMS Scythia. She sailed on her maiden voyage in 1921, and became a troop and supply ship during the Second World War. Scythia was the longest serving Cunard liner until 4 September 2005, when her record was surpassed by MS Queen Elizabeth 2.

At 4:30 the film shows scenes in the U.K., most likely Scotland although it is hard to make out the signs on the trams. At 5:42, troops parade with their guns pointing down as part of a funeral procession. The deceased is treated with enormous respect. At 6:20 a butcher is seen that bears the word "Denholm". That's a small village located between Jedburgh and Hawick in the Scottish Borders region of Scotland, UK. 

At 6:30 a horseman is seen and Buckingham Palace let us know we're in London. At 8:00 what appears to be Stratford on Avon, home of Shakespeare, is seen. At 8:50 a woman pushes a stroller past a chocolate shop and the "Porridge Pot Cafe" is seen. At 9:25 a man poses with his cute convertible car. At 9:46 a castle is shown, possibly part of a large estate. Peacocks roam the grounds. At 10:14 some ruins are also visible.

The reason the film is silent is that it was originally used as a presentation reel, with one of the astronauts narrating the journey (wish we had that soundtrack!) The film includes survival and rescue training (28:30), a visit to a volcano (4:15), work in a water tank to simulate weightlessness (11:50), weightless training flights (10:45), simulator work without space suits (16:20), practice with spacesuits (21:45), work with an LEM simulator (23:56) including at 26:11 the near fatal crash by Neil Armstrong, and more. At 34:00 the actual mission is shown underway with a mighty Saturn V on the pad, and the astronauts are shown suiting up at 34:30. The launch is shown at 35:50. At 39:50 footage shows the inside of the capsule and at 39:55 the famous Earthrise image, which was captured on film by Anders. At 46:00 the retrieval of the crew after splashdown is shown. The film ends with a montage showing NASA's on-going work with Skylab and the proposed Space Shuttle which was then undergoing development. 

Apollo 8, the second manned spaceflight mission in the United States Apollo space program, was launched on December 21, 1968, and became the first manned spacecraft to leave low Earth orbit, reach the Earth's Moon, orbit it and return safely to Earth. The three-astronaut crew — Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders — became the first humans to: travel beyond low Earth orbit; see Earth as a whole planet; enter the gravity well of another celestial body (Earth's moon); orbit another celestial body (Earth's moon); directly see the far side of the Moon with their own eyes; witness an Earthrise; escape the gravity of another celestial body (Earth's moon); and re-enter the gravitational well o...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f87f799b-428c-44f3-83a5-0604e32453bf/de38e8b3-0368-4e44-971f-0a58bd7793eb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wFLj6jPp6AYagEKBwRFi6i</video:player_loc><video:duration>3212</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T11:13:35.715Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vCKp4QgvivWq3x4w17fyTb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fd8fa2e6-0719-4c7c-b2ad-63b76c55c927.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE MAILMAN  UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE  1946 INSTRUCTIONAL FILM  47504</video:title><video:description>The Mailman is a 1946 instructional/career film produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica Films, Inc. in collaboration with Paul R. Hanna, Ph.D. Stanford University, providing an overview of the work your average mailman does on any given day. The film opens with a young boy recovering from being sick (00:30), waiting by the window for the mailman to arrive. His mother greets the mailman (00:42), who gives her a letter for the boy. A mailman at the post office (01:06) grabs his mail and takes it to his work table where he sorts the mail (01:38). After sorting letters and magazines, he straps the mail into bundles based on the order of his route (02:14). He then puts some of it in a relay bag, locking the bag for safety (02:31). The bag will go into a truck, which will drop it off part way for the mailman. The mailman goes to the mail clerk (02:53) to pick up a registered letter. He then packs the mail bundles and registered letter in his bag and leaves the post office (03:43). He walks down a street, dropping off mail at stores—such as a gift shop and a hairdresser shop. He hand-delivers the registered letter to a Shell filling station man (04:05), who signs for it. The mailman continues his route, delivering mail to homes (05:05), almost at the same time every day. After emptying his pouch, he arrives at the mail storage box to retrieve his relay bag (05:22), which he empties into his pouch. He then continues on his route, delivering mail and retrieving outgoing mail from a large public mailbox (06:15). Outside of cities and towns, mailmen are known as rural mailmen and operate from a village post office.

The film centers around a luncheon for women (00:58; 04:34) hosted by Harper’s Bazaar, where the “fashionable figure” is discussed and women model new outfits ranging from cocktail dresses and ball gowns to sportswear and travel dress. The film opens with shots of a busy city street, fashionable ladies walking down a city sidewalk (00:41) before arriving at the luncheon. Some of the first outfits modeled at the event are a vibrant silk organza (01:30), a shale-pink silk linen dress (02:17), and a pink swimsuit with a matching robe (03:05). According to the film, posture is the most essential component to having a fashionable figure, and Harper’s Bazaar recommends the Stauffer method of passive exercise. The film runs through several different types of women who suffer from some form of postural sag (03:50): an elderly woman engaging in civic activities (05:10), a professional woman running an office (05:47), a housewife performing domestic chores (06:30), and a woman carrying groceries through a car-filled parking lot (07:06). The film showcases one of the event’s models, who maintains her posture and “fashionable figure” by taking just a few moments each day to “exercise” with her Stauffer home exercise machine (07:58; 12:30). The gyrations help muscle tone and improve postural alignment, which enables women to have excellent posture, so they can wear the latest in fashion. The “latest in fashion” includes various types of dresses with plunging back lines (08:42), and the film concludes with the modeling of these dresses at the luncheon and, to end the film, the model using her Stauffer home machine.

In 1965, the Stauffer machine company was sued by the Federal Trade Commission which found that the "Magic Couch" cannot and will not perform in acc...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4e1421b0-a048-4014-800c-d27a4f0ebfc1/f972ae37-7f96-4323-b0cd-8c87b33fd6b3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aDcX5htERepRWV7A5dqgeT</video:player_loc><video:duration>819</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T11:18:15.200Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/84wJRtBEhvniZDzS7hT6vj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/132af165-39c9-4620-9051-de352b09940d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"MYSTIC INDIA"  1942 CASTLE FILMS TRAVELOGUE   NEW DELHI  TAJ MAHAL GANGES RIVER  HINDUISM  54364</video:title><video:description>This silent black and white travelogue film “Mystic India” was produced by Castle Films in 1942 as part of its “The World Parade” documentary series. It opens at Benares (also known as Varanasi, Banaras, and Kashi), a city on the banks of the Ganges River. Both are considered sacred, and the city is considered the holiest of the seven sacred cities in Hinduism.  The river is shown full of people praying and washing away their sins, according to the film (:39-1:46). Delhi is the capital [the name was changed to New Delhi in 1927]. Both people and cows walk down the street (1:47-2:24). Along the street, women shake grain to sift it, coffee is poured, and produce weighed (2:25-2:53). Fakirs are religious monks who live solely on alms. One is shown smoking and laying on a small couch in the street (2:54-3:12). A snake charmer uses his pungi to hypnotize a cobra (3:13-3:40). The streets in Puri are crowded (3:41-3:57).  People pull a juggernaut into the Jagannath Temple carrying religious statues as part of the Ratha Yatra, or chariot procession. A towering one is pulled through the street (3:58-5:00). The Palace of the Maharaja of Baroda was home to Maharajah Pratapsingh Rao Gaekwad , shown in his office and in a carriage pulled by oxen (5:01-6:00).

The film covers the steps that are taken to safely dispose of high-level nuclear waste in underground storage facilities located in stable rock bed formations. Former astronaut Alan Bean (01:19) talks about standing on the moon and how it is possible by fitting various pieces together to achieve a single goal, which is the thrust of the film as it shows various science fields’ roles in disposing of nuclear waste (hydrology, nuclear engineering, physics, geology, and more). There are shots of NASA scientists (03:40) working in labs and engineers in control rooms, tests conducted on astronauts, and the launching of a space shuttle (04:08). A number of scientists work together to manage the safe disposal of radioactive waste in underground repositories (04:41). Dr. Richard Wilson (04:52), Chair of Harvard’s Physics Department, explains the production of nuclear fuel rods (05:26), as graphics show how nuclear power is produced and how the spent rods are highly radioactive waste (06:15) called high-level waste. Rods are removed from a commercial plant’s core, then stored in pools of water to diminish the heat and radioactivity levels (06:39). Pharaonic tombs in Egypt (07:22) and the famous pictograph caves at Lascaux, France (08:30) demonstrate that underground rock formations are ideal for preserving manmade materials. Scientists identify potential storage sites in stable underground rock formations (08:52), then test for seismic activity (09:55). Hydrologist study the sites’ water movement, which is crucial for safely storing nuclear waste. Computer models (10:55) study ground water movement and the history of ground water movement to predict suitability.

Nixon had been accused of improprieties relating to a fund established by his backers to reimburse him for his political expenses. With his place on the Republican ticket in doubt, he flew to Los Angeles and delivered a half-hour television address in which he defended himself, attacked his opponents, and urged the audience to contact the Republican National Committee (RNC) to tell it whether he should remain on the ticket. During the speech, he stated that regardless of what anyone said, he intended to keep one gift: a black-and-white dog who had been named Checkers by the Nixon children, thus giving the address its popular name.

Nixon, as he related in his address, came from a family of modest means, and had spent much of his time after law school either in the military, campaigning for office, or serving in Congress. After his successful 1950 Senate campaign, Nixon's backers continued to raise money to finance his political activities. These contributions went to reimburse him for travel costs, postage for political mailings which he did not have franked, and similar expenses. Such a fund was not illegal at the time, but, because Nixon had made a point of attacking government corruption, it exposed him to charges he might be giving special favors to the contributors.

The press became aware of the fund in September 1952, two months after Nixon's selection as General Dwight D. Eisenhower's running mate. Within a few days, the story grew until the controversy threatened Nixon's place on the ticket. In an attempt to turn the tide of public opinion, Nixon broke off a whistle-stop tour of the West Coast to fly to Los Angeles to make a television and radio broadcast to the nation; the $75,000 to buy the television time was raised by the RNC. The idea for the Checkers reference came from ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3d5da04a-563e-492c-88c2-eb6b6dc3d387/7d08c4d8-25e3-4a1e-a520-ac4d5e3fd5d0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8zvovNYDowJUDbByR67bPr</video:player_loc><video:duration>1604</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T11:29:32.042Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5NdHcsYztHrRSSjTExLBDe</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/856fcd4f-dca9-45ac-978d-8d258b6c1489.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1954 DOCUMENTARY ABOUT POPE PIUS XII    LOURDES FRANCE  VATICAN CITY  48014</video:title><video:description>This Castle Films News Parade episode from 1954 tells the story of Pope Pius XII. Born Eugenio Maria Giuseppe Giovanni Pacelli, Pope Pius XII (00:42) served as Pope of the Catholic Church from 1939 until his death in 1958. The film opens with an aerial shot of the Vatican (00:21) and St. Peter’s Basilica (00:30). Before becoming the 266th pontiff of the Catholic Church, he visits the Shrine of Lourdes (01:10), Budapest (01:16), and Fordham University (01:40) in the U.S. In 1939, he is elected Pope (02:14), and the ceremony is held in public for the first time in many years. The Swiss Guards swear their allegiance (02:32) as part of the ceremony. King Victor Emmanuel of Italy (03:01) and his queen pay their respects to the new pope. Pius XII gets to work, holding audiences and running the church despite the war. Pius XII walks through the Vatican’s gardens (03:54) for some quiet. Rome is liberated by U.S. soldiers, who are cheered on by Italians as the Coliseum looms in the background (04:30). U.S. GIs meet with Pope Pius XII and attend mass (04:54). In 1946, Pius XII elevates a number of archbishops to the rank of cardinal, including Archbishop Francis Spellman of NY (05:12) and Archbishop James McGuigan of Canada (05:29). Pope Pius XII oversees a pilgrimage during the Holy Year (05:45). On Christmas Eve of 1949, Pope Pius XII walks through the door of St. Peter’s (06:35) and presides over mass; the heavy wooden door is shut and sealed (07:40) to conclude the end of the Holy Year.

The Golden Twenties is a 1950 American documentary film produced by Richard de Rochemont. The film is narrated by Frederick Lewis Allen, Robert Q. Lewis, Allen Prescott, Red Barber, and Elmer Davis. The second reel of the film begins by covering the trial of educator John Scopes (00:16), prosecuted by William Jennings Bryant (00:36) for teaching evolution. Scopes and the principle of freedom of thought are defended by Dudley Field Malone (01:06) and Clarence Darrow (01:18), but the court ultimately finds Scopes guilty. President Harding dies in 1923 and large crowds turn out to pay respect at the funeral (01:39). Calvin Coolidge (02:01; 03:06) becomes president and must overcome the Wyoming and Tea Pot Dome scandal (02:17), in which a secret lease of government oil fields is made by Secretary of the Interior Albert Fall (02:34) to millionaire Harry F. Sinclair. Coolidge survives and is reelected, leading to a Republican celebration at the inaugural ball (03:34). America continues to grow, and no place grows faster than Florida (04:00) and, specifically, Miami (04:12). Though both are hit by a devastating hurricane. Famous international figures visit the U.S. during this time, including the Prince of Wales (05:56) and Queen Marie of Romania (06:23). Queen Marie receives a ticker-tape parade in her honor (07:01). In sports, the New York Giants (07:10) and New York Yankees (07:23) train, as do the Brooklyn Dodgers (07:45) under the eye of Ben Egan. George Sisler (07:54) is the famous player-manager of the St. Louis Browns, but it is Babe Ruth (08:11) who breaks the home run record and leads the Yankees to winning the 1927 World Series (08:32) over the Pirates in four straight games. In other sports headlines, Bobby Jones (09:05) sweeps golf tournaments in Britain and the U.S., Man O’War (09:26) proves to be one of the greatest race horses of all times, and the likes of Red Grange (10:15) and Knute Rockne (10:32) rule the f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bf811648-0fd6-4d09-b784-0479f4ce9523/b212fa88-6855-4ca8-8055-cdbf206a514a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pDz4TXAEVMGzGegQ8zdC6z</video:player_loc><video:duration>2162</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T11:36:48.790Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aiUyxLbsB5Gf7nEeooCyT9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e3e08840-ba95-4463-83a4-b859be77e450.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>A CHRONICLE OF THE AMERICA'S JAZZ AGE "THE GOLDEN 20s" DOCUMENTARY  30264</video:title><video:description>For Part 2: https://youtu.be/YUatH3lsTeA

A Chronicle of America's Jazz Age is a 1950 American documentary produced by Richard de Rochemont, narrated by Frederick Lewis Allen, Robert Q. Lewis, Allen Prescott, Red Barber, and Elmer Davis. The film opens with shots of city streets lined with cars and sidewalks full of people, before cutting to the front of the New York Public Library (01:21), where a young man browses the American History section before coming across the book that leads into the footage of the 1920s. The first topic is the Armistice of 1918 (03:55), and a crowd gathers in Times Square to celebrate. The steamship George Washington (04:33) takes President Woodrow Wilson to Europe, but Americans are distracted by entertainment including “human flies” who climb buildings (04:54), wing walkers on airplanes (06:12), and baseball games between the Giants and Yankees (05:07). Fashion dominates the day, and French fashion leads the way with night gowns (05:17) and extravagant hats. Aviation is captivating the nation: the Navy’s NC-4 (06:23) takes off on its flight to Great Britain; a British R-34 (06:44) moves across the sky; planes make up the Post Office Air Mail Service (07:00); famous WWI ace fighter pilots Eddie Rickenbacker and Bert Acosta (07:15) pose for photos. American soldiers, like Alvin York, return to the U.S. aboard steamships (08:14). The American Legion holds the 1921 convention in Kansas City (08:36), which features Baron Jacques of Belgium (08:56), Britain’s Sir David Beatty, and General John J. Pershing. Elsewhere, race riots plague city streets (09:19) and the KKK (09:39) spreads its influence. Labor activists like Old Mother Jones (10:28) fight for better wages. In Boston, the police force goes on strike (11:00), leading to the development of a voluntary police force. Massachusetts Governor Calvin Coolidge (11:33) gains popularity saying the police have no right to strike against public safety. A bombing hits Wall Street just outside J...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4b6248b4-2c65-47d0-9eca-4d81df218216/e13c4856-b93d-46a7-99c3-e2b99e2718b9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aiUyxLbsB5Gf7nEeooCyT9</video:player_loc><video:duration>1880</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T11:38:18.111Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/k68jgcEx3gHs6K9vDXNfqq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/96e2e4ae-14ad-43a0-abe0-a8b4ce8c77d2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>VIETNAM WAR COMBAT DAILIES  HELICOPTER  AIR CAVALRY  83644</video:title><video:description>This silent film, combat dailies from the Vietnam War, starts with shots of African American and white G.I.'s at a base.

The film primarily features footage of test buildings on fire with one or several fire hoses applying water. The film opens with dozens of firemen (00:18) watching a test fire. The test fires in the report are conducted in Miami, Florida (00:47; 15:08), Kansas City (00:58), Memphis (01:20; 08:10), Ponca City, OK (01:26; 11:00), and Ames, IA (01:35). The test buildings have been loaded with fuel and combustibles that are commonly found in homes before being set ablaze. Test nozzles and patterns are used (02:26), including booster line discharge pattern, applicator pattern, master stream, ladder pipe pattern, to determine the effectiveness of each. The buildings are ignited and, once on fire, attacked with one type of nozzle. Temperature reduction, the time to extinguish the fire, and water usage are recorded in each test. The film shows different buildings burning as the narrator reports on the indirect application of water and how to use water wisely. In one test, firemen enter a test building with self-contained masks (12:54) after reducing the temperature with a minimal amount of water indirectly applied.

The official write-up of the film states: “Using Water Wisely” covers the activities of the Exploratory Committee from its inception in November, 1951, to January 1, 1954. During this time the committee activities were confined to idatively small fires, and fire fighting methods were chiefly spray nozzles on hand lines, booster lines and lk5-inch hose being used in all cases. The film includes shots of tests conducted in a special test building in Miami, Fla., and dwellings in Missouri, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Iowa and Kansas. In all these tests the committee had the full cooperation of the local fire chief and his aides. In these tests t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8785b556-01b1-43c2-ba5a-277854136b27/2360221e-961d-4c3d-9117-f40b334b73d9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hJC7boyZaUyTMG3ptg8xt6</video:player_loc><video:duration>1249</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T11:42:43.973Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dXUECLUFZhYhgTfGT6txNf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/295eab82-276d-4cf2-a3b9-a60e2981ea01.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STANDARD OIL 1938 HISTORY OF THE SETTLEMENT OF OHIO  PIONEERS OF THE OHIO COUNTRY DOCUMENTARY 47274</video:title><video:description>This 1938 black and white reenactment film “The Ohio Country” was presented by The Standard Oil Company of Ohio, narrated by George W.

The film starts with a recap of the 1870s, a time of struggle for many in America, but also a time of innovation. In 1876, the telephone is invented by Professor Alexander Graham Bell (01:25). He believes that wires can connect everyone. Old silent films (02:02) of Bell and his associate Mr. Watson show the success of developing a telephone. However, many people dismiss Bell’s ideas and patents, and it isn’t until Theodore Newton Vail (02:57) joins the company in 1878, taking control of leadership, warding off patent infringements, and acquiring Western Electric, that the company takes off. Yet Vail doesn’t get the support he feels he needs, so he leaves the company. Bell’s patents expire and telephone companies proliferate the scene. In 1907, Vail joins AT&amp;T (American Telephone &amp; Telegraph) and convinces Bell and other companies to operate in exclusive areas, with a “One Policy, One System, Universal Service” motto. Equipment is standardized and operating companies are connected. In 1878, the switchboard is developed with operators connecting callers. Men put up telephone lines (05:22) throughout the U.S., and in 1915, the first transcontinental call between Bell, Watson, and Vail makes history. The introduction of coaxial cables allow for many more calls to be carried at the same time. Further developments include the first undersea cable (06:42) installed across Atlantic in 1956 and the 1960 launch of Echo 1 (07:18), followed by the launch of Telstar, the first international communications satellite. In less than a century, the telephone network has grown into a complex international system. Bell Labs (08:30) produces the transistor, and scientists work on wave guide transmissions. In 1934, the Federal Communications Act is passed to affirm the natural monopoly of the telephone industry, but that is challenged by the Justice Department in 1949 with a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e260d3c5-44dd-43f5-b5fb-04b848582212/77485625-46d2-401e-879a-0a327c965dcd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tXkKWAACj8FMoHLN3RfXyo</video:player_loc><video:duration>792</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T11:48:13.662Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/n7LzVLYz5Kj94ZnJTxAuVa</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7077ed5b-7636-45de-85c3-f9c52de37ab0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1961 PROFILE OF AMERICA'S COTTON BELT &amp; COTTON INDUSTRY  87764</video:title><video:description>This 1961 black and white film “The Cotton Belt - Yesterday and Today” was produced by the Indiana University Audio Visual Center.

The pace car beings moving but one car is stalled, causing the rest to drive around it before he gets it started. The green flag is out and the race begins (9:26-11:52). Highlights of the race follow, with A.J. Foyt, Bobby Unser, and Johnny Rutherford battling it out. Mario Andretti’s car, sponsored by Viceroy, is having issues at the pit stop. An accident causes the yellow flag to be used and the leaders take advantage of their pits (11:54-15:00). Tom Sneva survives a fiery crash, shown in slow motion. The drivers are forced to drive through the grass to avoid car parts. Again, the leaders take advantage of filling up on gas (an Ashland tank is shown). Gary Bettenhausen’s blows a right rear hub and expertly keeps the three-wheeled car on the track until he can pull off safely into the grass (15:02-19:50). The storm hits and the crowd scrambles to cover themselves during the downpour. Visibility on the track is reduced to a few hundred yards. They create rooster-tails as they round the curves and some spin-out. The race is called early and Unser is given the checkered flag (...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f393ac20-80b2-41cc-b45e-add708e36660/47b5bf4e-ecd0-468d-8dc3-16bef86c5f25-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/w5w5DihPVQSWDYb6S6td8j</video:player_loc><video:duration>1815</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T12:05:10.556Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nk1334Yv9xFAspsSZv2Wds</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d8e23cf9-4475-4216-ae1d-6cb39b1324b1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"ALOHA"  1940s HONOLULU HAWAII TRAVELOGUE FILM   SURFING, HULA, WAIKIKI BEACH &amp; DIAMOND HEAD 52604</video:title><video:description>This 1940s educational color film about Hawaii was produced by Little Features and the Calvin Company.

The film begins on the Yakoda Air Base, a military base where a Japanese aircraft is prominently displayed (:40). The base has a gymnasium, tennis courts and other amenities including a dry cleaners (1;25) and post office. At 2:10 buses are seen and at 2:17 a sign for the 98th Bomb wing and 343rd Bomb Group.At 2:40 the auditorium is visible. Various shots of personnel on the base are shown including a mail sorting room. At 5:27 a cake is presented. At 6:15 other parts of the base are seen including a mess area. At 8:30 the North Area of the base is shown. At 9:30 the guard house of the base is seen and at 9:25 a sign says "Hope You Enjoyed Your Visit." At 9:45 the film begins to show images of Japan shot from a moving vehicle. At 10:50 street scenes in an unknown city, probably Tokyo. At 13:00 the Japanese Congress building is shown. At 13:40 construction is seen in Tokyo. 

The facility which houses Yokota Air Base was originally constructed by the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) in 1940 as Tama Airfield, and used as a flight test center. During World War II Yokota became the center of Japanese Army Air Forces flight test activities and the base was the site of the first meeting between Japanese and Italian wartime allies. With the Surrender of Japan on 2 September 1945, a detachment of the United States Army 1st Cavalry Division arrived at the base on 4 September. The airfield's buildings were largely intact, and some 280 of the IJA's most modern aircraft were discovered in hangars.

The 1st Cavalry named the facility Fussa Army Airfield, then at the end of September renamed it Yokota Army Airfield (the name appeared on a 1944 US map, taken from a village which has since been incorporated in neighboring Musashimurayama.)

The name was to have been changed to Wilkins Army Air Base (WAAB) after Medal of Honor winner Raymond "Ray...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a0a6130a-beaf-4468-8c4a-723a97c59ed3/a2fe78a3-e836-4f17-a875-cb93af6f3e24-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kQzDPT23uz91kkAsh2uigr</video:player_loc><video:duration>915</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T12:08:58.293Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ozzr9dFtGL5DqeQeDxveVL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f1850112-fd6d-445e-93f8-72eb88d7d752.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s VISIT TO MONACO  ROME  VENICE  CAPRI  ITALY HOME MOVIE  53244</video:title><video:description>This silent 16mm home movie was shot by an American tourist during a trip to Italy in the late 1920s or early 1930s.

(Other films in the series include 1942's St. Paul's and 1937's Westminster Abbey.)

Chartres Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres is a Roman Catholic church of the Latin Church located in Chartres, France, about 80 km (50 miles) southwest of Paris. The current cathedral, mostly constructed between 1194 and 1220, is the last of at least five which have occupied the site since the town became a bishopric in the 4th century. It is in the Gothic and Romanesque styles.

It is designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, which calls it "the high point of French Gothic art" and a "masterpiece".

The cathedral has been well preserved. The majority of the original stained glass windows survived intact, while the architecture has seen only minor changes since the early 13th century. The building's exterior is dominated by heavy flying buttresses which allowed the architects to increase the window size significantly, while the west end is dominated by two contrasting spires – a 105-metre (349 ft) plain pyramid completed around 1160 and a 113-metre (377 ft) early 16th-century Flamboyant spire on top of an older tower. Equally notable are the three great façades, each adorned with hundreds of sculpted figures illustrating key theological themes and narratives.

Since at least the 12th century the cathedral has been an important destination for travelers. It remains so to the present, attracting large numbers of Christian pilgrims, many of whom come to venerate its famous relic, the Sancta Camisa, said to be the tunic worn by the Virgin Mary at Christ's birth, as well as large numbers of secular tourists who come to admire the cathedral's architecture and historical merit.

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

It opens with “Arthur Average” laying on the horn and illegally passing on the shoulder (1:09-1:33). A California Highway Motorcycle Patrolman on motorcycle watches traffic. Arthur reduces his speed (speedometer shown) and speeds up again. The police officer pursues (1:34-2:10). Arthur enters the Municipal Court Traffic Building. The courtroom is panned. Arthur sits down (2:12-3:32). The judge enters (3:33-8:05). Violators are called before the judge to state “guilty” or “not guilty” (8:07-9:18). A sketch artist sits next to Arthur (9:22-9:48). The Chevrolet Skyline speeds through the crosswalk, narrowly missing a woman and child. An officer writes a ticket on September 5, 1951. The car narrowly misses a pedestrian and runs another car into a pole. “The Grabber” sketch is a pig driver (10:23-11:25). A woman wears multiple strands of pearls, large pearl trimmed earrings, and a 1940s hat with a net veil. She doesn’t know how to use the Ford’s clutch on a hill, almost hits a father and son crossing the road, and backs into a car. She drives too slow, straddles two lanes, slowly parallel parks and pulls across lanes. The “Nervous Nelly“ sketch is a chicken driver (11:28-12:38). A man drives intoxicated, causing another driver to crash. He drives in the wrong lane, drives through a stop sign, and illegally passes on the right. The “2-Beers Bennie“ sketch is a drunk goat driver (13:06-14:06). A man uses his car to bully drivers, blocking traffic, refusing to let drivers pass, and blocking exits.

At :36 a limestone quarry is shown, with the limestone originating from "an old coral reef". At :50, chipped limestone is shown being stored for use in road building. At 1:17 an early dump truck drops a load of rock into a crusher and it emerges in small pieces (2:00).  At 2:08 it is dumped to form a roadbed. At 2:16 chalk, a form of limestone, is discussed. A classroom scene follows. At 4:00 granular limestone is shown being shaped through various processes including sawing and chiseling.  At 5:13 an intricate pattern is cut into the stone. At 5:30 the bottom of a column is polished to make it even. At 5:53 a steam train pulls finished marble columns into a storage area where they are loaded by steamshovel (6:18).  At 7:19 a stone window is put in place at a church. At 7:40 limestone is burned to create lime, one of the important ingredients for cement (9;42). The lime plant belches smoke at 8:50. At 11:00 bags of cement are seen being filled. At 11:30 marble, a form of limestone, is shown being cut out of a quarry. At 12:50 marble is polished using what appears to be a steel plate held down with weights. It can be used for making sculptures or for buildings such as the Lincoln Memorial as seen at 14:08.

Limestone is a sedimentary rock, composed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral, forams and molluscs. Its major materials are the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

About 10% of sedimentary rocks are limestones. The solubility of limestone in water and weak acid solutions leads to karst landscapes, in which water erodes the limestone over thousands to millions of years. Most cave systems are through limestone bedrock.

Limestone has numerous uses: as a building material, an essential component of concrete (Portland cement), as aggregate for the b...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3e1e7ad8-f963-4b6a-bb40-563dae5041aa/0d6b2d66-849f-40a2-beb9-09ad77566ce1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8EUjNW7jxqv8Gdzqan9WpL</video:player_loc><video:duration>879</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T12:31:51.283Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fKXVM6eumo9zsgT9TAqSXq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e542854a-7ec6-43d5-a88e-51d99d22f7e4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s B.F. GOODRICH  RUBBER PRODUCTS PROMOTIONAL FILM by JOHN SUTHERLAND  50884</video:title><video:description>This 1950s color educational film in Technicolor is about B.F. Goodrich man-made rubber and its many uses. It is a John Sutherland Production directed by True Boardman. A man drives a Pontiac Star Chief to the B.F. Goodrich Research Center. A boy sits on its steps bouncing a rubber ball (:37-1:24). Inside, the man shakes hands with an executive and sits down (1:25-3:19). An animation explains the small amount of experimental man-made rubber produced in 1941 compared to the 650,000 tons used in the U.S. Pearl Harbor and Japanese take-over of rubber countries stopped rubber imports. The war used the reserves (3:20-4:31). President Roosevelt requested rubber, petroleum, and chemical companies to combine efforts to make man-made rubber. Goodrich built the world’s largest synthetic rubber plant in Port Neches, Texas in 1943, providing the needed rubber to the military to win WWII. The animation ends (4:32-5:19). The lab is full of tubes and beakers. Men and women researchers work in khaki lab coats (6:05-7:15). Glass jars are labeled crude rubber, man-made rubber, and geon. Acids are added to the man-made rubber liquid, immediately turning it into latex (7:16-8:00). An animated film explains the components to make vinyl chloride (geon). A drop contains billions of active molecules. Adding a catalyst causes the molecules to grow and hook together in strong chains (polymerization). The result is polyvinyl chloride. Adding plasticizer makes the chains pliable (Goodyear geon) (8:24-10:16). This knowledge made it simpler to develop man-made rubber (10:17-10:39). Live action footage is shown of man-made rubber products. A man in a hospital bed receives an IV. A woman watches a machine test surgical gloves. Firemen battle a large blaze. Long outdoor conveyer belts move products. A woman wearing a 1950s two-piece blue suit with gloves and pillbox hat rides an escalator (10:40-11:25). A rotary drilling rig is shown in action. V-belts keep heavy pumping equipment working (11:26...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/778363c4-00b5-40a9-aafa-a3e8d4cf7cd6/3102c5a4-1a0e-4188-8120-0e0b6564e7fd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fKXVM6eumo9zsgT9TAqSXq</video:player_loc><video:duration>1013</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T12:33:04.557Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nnCAjFNCgsQFwKVLeUwWqk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/00822f8c-28ec-4197-b2fd-f5ac24103651.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1964 TOUR OF ANGKOR WAT TEMPLE COMPLEX  CAMBODIA  w/ DR. BOYD COMPTON  65274</video:title><video:description>Made in 1964 by WNDT-TV, this TV show CULTURES AND CONTINENTS  "City of the God Kings" focuses on the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia. The fairly low quality images seen here are the result of the film being a "kinescope" -- a 16mm film record of a television broadcast. The show is hosted by Dr. Boyd Compton, who was part of the American Universities Field Staff in Asia. 

Angkor Wat is a temple complex in Cambodia and the largest religious monument in the world, on a site measuring 162.6 hectares (1,626,000 m2; 402 acres). It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Vishnu for the Khmer Empire, gradually transforming into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century. It was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaśodharapura (Khmer: យសោធរបុរៈ, present-day Angkor), the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking from the Shaiva tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a significant religious centre since its foundation. The temple is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of Cambodia, appearing on its national flag, and it is the country's prime attraction for visitors.

Angkor Wat combines two basic plans of Khmer temple architecture: the temple-mountain and the later galleried temple. It is designed to represent Mount Meru, home of the devas in Hindu mythology: within a moat more than 5 kilometres (3 mi) long and an outer wall 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) long are three rectangular galleries, each raised above the next. At the centre of the temple stands a quincunx of towers. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Angkor Wat is oriented to the west; scholars are divided as to the significance of this. The temple is admired for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, its extensive bas-reliefs, and for the nume...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ad1514dd-747a-4b16-9f4c-0d9e8b02aeab/6219c781-a15c-41f9-ad25-62e5261da0bc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nnCAjFNCgsQFwKVLeUwWqk</video:player_loc><video:duration>1700</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T12:39:01.865Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4WeKfUosM3Mw9pTRLDGiDz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/43f34ff1-be91-4079-aa48-bc841b55fa68.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII U.S. NAVY RECRUITING FILM  AVIATION METALSMITH   34884c</video:title><video:description>This 1944 color restricted film about being an “Aviation Metalsmith” is part of a “Your Job in the Navy” series of recruitment films presented by the U.S. Navy. It opens with a plane hitting the landing hard on aircraft carrier, breaking the landing gear (:20-:28). The Aviation Metalsmith uses a power saw to cut tempered steel needed to repair broken metal pieces while onboard the carrier (:29-:52). Another puts protective glasses on and welds a landing gear brace bar (:53-1:12). Two others make molds for metal parts. The cast for a Catalina bomber speed ring is first cast in plaster of Paris to make the mold for the die. They move it into a wooden box, wipe it off, and cover it in a special sand. They lift the hardened metal lower half of the die out. Antimony lead is poured to create the upper half (1:13-2:28). Two Aviation Metalsmiths feed a metal sheet through a machine to cut it. A drop hammer then stamps the sheet metal into the proper shape. (2:30-3:38). The speed ring is assembled and then placed on the bomber (3:40-4:00). Two sailors work on a ring formed from tempered aluminum alloy upon which a gun turret will be secured. It is then riveted onto the bomber (4:02-4:44). A sheet of heated Plexiglas is removed from an oven. Four Metalsmiths apply simultaneous pressure to mold it around a turret frame. The completed Plexiglas top is installed to protect the gunner (4:46-5:31). A nose turret is installed and shown turning in different directions (5:32-5:50). The bomber moves down the carrier’s flight deck (5:52).

It opens with a camera scan of SB2C-3 Helldivers. A group of Aviation Ordnancemen lift up the tail of a fighter and put a stand underneath it to hold it up. The wing guns are aligned using targets on the wall. The sailor waves his hand to indicate the direction the other sailor should make the adjustment (:15-1:15). An Aviation Ordnanceman uses the boresight telescope on the wing gun to create a perfect alignment. Another adjusts the sight from within the cockpit to perfect alignment (1:16-1:58). A group performs maintenance on machine guns. Every fifth cartridge fed into the belting machine’s tray is a red domed tracer bullet. The magazines are loaded into ammunition boxes (2:00-3:00). Ordnancemen remove empty ammunition boxes and replace them with full ones (3:02-3:57). A red flag on a vehicle indicates it is towing ammunition; in this case 1,000 pound bombs. An Ordnanceman fuses a bomb, shown up-close. It is wheeled under a plane and slowly lifted into place using a crank and attached (4:00-5:00). A very large torpedo is moved into place on a torpedo bomber. The bay door closes (5:02-5:40). An armed Helldiver’s propeller turns and the plane moves on the runway (5:41-6:05). A Coronado has many Navy personnel working on it, including Ordnancemen attaching a large torpedo using an electric hoist. The plane moves down the runway (6:06-6:40).

It is narrated by Edward Tomlinson. In 1929, Colonel Charles Lindbergh pilots his Spirit of Saint Louis plane loaded with air mail to South America. Mail is loaded aboard a Pan American Airways Boeing 314 Clipper; the cargo shown includes live baby chickens. Well-dressed passengers board the floating airplane, which taxis and takes off. The coastline of Miami is below. Passengers play cards at a table, read magazines, are served drinks by a steward, and smoke cigarettes (1:17-4:08). Shown are Havana’s capital building and the Malecon Boulevard with its USS Maine Monument. The control tower radios communicate with the pilots. The radio stations type weather reports (4:09-5:15). The plane lands at Kingston, Jamaica. A traffic policeman is passed by a trolley. Tumbling water falls are picturesque. Imported zebu cattle graze (5:17-6:38). The plane leaves for Port-au-Prince, Haiti. It flies over the French Cathedral and presidential palace. People ride donkeys past hand-turned lathes and a trimmer using bed springs as a base.  Men fashion beams with a two-man saw (6:40-8:35). The plane heads for Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

This 1950s color film "Fighting Bulls" is presented by the United States Rubber Company and directed by naturalist and explorer Van Campen Heilner. It features a live bullfight and its various stages of weakening the bull. The film explores Mexico’s national sport, bullfighting, focusing on the preparation of both bulls and matadors. Bulls are carefully bred for courage and tested in the countryside before being brought to the arena, where large crowds gather to watch the spectacle. The event includes a ceremonial parade, skillful displays by the matadors, and dangerous phases where picadors and banderilleros engage the bull. The matador’s precise footwork and nerve culminate in a final, decisive sword thrust. Throughout the event, both the bravery of the bull and the skill of the matador are honored, reflecting a centuries-old tradition deeply rooted in Mexican culture and respect for courage.

In total, about 40 percent of the globe are covered by those waters — and are the responsibility of the United States Pacific Command. That dramatic narrative introduces the viewer to this color film and the unified combatant command of the US armed forces responsible for the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. (It is also the oldest and largest of the unified combatant commands.) Produced by the Department of Defense circa 1969, the film shows a montage of aircraft, soldiers, and sailors, as the narrator quotes President Dwight D. Eisenhower as saying that separate air, land, and sea warfare are no longer viable, and that all services must operate as a single unit under the command of the Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet (CINCPAC). At mark 03:08, an officer (played by veteran actor William Boyett) explains the purpose and mission of Pacific Command, as well as its chain of command. 

Following a reminder of the lives lost in World War II’s Pacific Theater at mark 05:10, the narrator explains that areas in the Pacific continue to be at risk, as a map of Southeast Asia is shown on the screen. Following a review of military commands in the Pacific, the film continues to explore the importance of Pacific Command, from the strategic position of B-52 bombers on Guam to the deployment of nuclear submarines beneath the water. Although the sea has been kept free, the narrator continues at mark 08:38, that is not the case for all lands, as the film shows scenes of US military personnel — “welcome guests” — mingling with residents, teaching them skills, or providing medical services. The viewer is also taken to various bases, including Clark Air Force Base and the US Naval Base at Subic Bay in the Philippines, ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b63d6cf0-8935-42ba-a508-bcfc8ce81890/84b1c316-97a7-4617-955a-f77bce49ddad-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ovdECpeaBiPohQ1dmpSVWy</video:player_loc><video:duration>1670</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T13:28:42.262Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/brfRU2gacbnidQkfXguakN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8328bae6-de68-4605-b087-99c7835e5167.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WINGS AT THE TREETOPS   U.S. ARMY HELICOPTERS &amp; FIXED WING AIRCRAFT IN VIETNAM 25144</video:title><video:description>Part of the Big Picture TV series created by the U.S. Army, WINGS AT THE TREETOPS takes a look at the use of fixed wing aircraft and helicopters in the Vietnam War, and a look at the concept of tactical mobility. As the film shows, above the battlefields of World War II, the simple Piper Cub aircraft served as an observation platform for the adjustment of artillery fire. Thus, the concept of Army aviation as part of the ground combat team was born. Since then, the aircraft which help the fighting man do his job have become more sophisticated, more rugged, and more powerful. "Wings at the Tree Tops" have given the soldier a dimension of mobility which his foot-slogging brothers of twenty years ago would have found unbelievable...

Some of the aircraft shown including the UH-1 Huey, CH-47 Chinook, HH-1K Iroquois, AH-1G Cobra, OH6A Cayuse, transport helicopters, attack helicopters and more. At 19:17, fixed wing aircraft are shown in surveillance and combat roles.

The rest of the film shows these valiant pilots working in all sorts of weather and tactical conditions to deliver supplies and troops in the Asian theater.  The 834th Airlift Command is shown in Saigon, Vietnam with its C-130 aircraft.   Beginning at about the 12 minute mark, combat use of the C-130 is shown in Vietnam with aircraft landing under NVA fire.  Some of this incredible footage shows air strikes taking place nearby while the C-130s are on the ground in support of operations.  Also shown is air-to-ground resupply of forces in Vietnam by parachute, and paratroops making jumps at the 19:00 mark.  Some of the interviews in the film include a tough discussion about body bags being shipped home by MAC (18 minute mark).  Evacuation of South Vietnamese wounded is shown at the 20 minute mark.

Established at the height of the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War, MAC provided long-range strategic airlift from the United States to Military Airlift Support Squadrons (MASS) located on Pacific Air Forces bases in the Pacific AOR.

By 1968, MAC military and contract transports were hauling 150,000 passengers and 45,000 tons of cargo monthly to and from Southeast Asia. At first, MAC transports to Vietnam landed regularly only at Tan Son Nhut AB, necessitating considerable transshipment within Vietnam by the Common Service Airlift System. New air bases opened at Da Nang AB and Cam Ranh AB in January 1966, and later at Pleiku AB, Bien Hoa AB, and Phu Cat AB, reducing the need for redistribution.

Major unit movements by MAC aircraft from the United States usually required further airlifts to operating areas by in-country transports. Introduction of the C-5 Galaxy transport in the summer of 1970 created new problems of in-country distribution, since C-5 deliveries were massive, and, initially the planes could ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ab8202e6-9f5d-4653-9bc7-73a44d4a1753/89055909-3fac-43f5-9d43-5946fc3aaaad-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nbmxDVsFomiiCxzcCrPoqB</video:player_loc><video:duration>1850</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T13:33:51.443Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hNVZW7CuVCpSQ8aZwM6X6t</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a8e6edbe-e7dc-4392-8842-fbe9fafd44ab.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>VIETNAM ERA NATIONAL GUARD FILM "THE MEN AND THE MINUTE" 76114</video:title><video:description>This Vietnam Era film THE MEN AND THE MINUTE presents members of the National Guard flying missions over Vietnam and the many other missions of the Guard.

This film, "U.S. Navy Riverine Operations," (1966) provides a look at the various roles of the U.S. Navy and Marines in the Vietnam War, focusing heavily on civic action, offshore blockade, carrier operations, and the intense riverine combat in the Mekong Delta. This includes coverage of Operation Market Time, a U.S. Navy, Republic of Vietnam Navy and Royal Australian Navy operation begun in 1965 to stop the flow of troops, war material, and supplies by sea, coast, and rivers, from North Vietnam into parts of South Vietnam.
    
    0:00   The film opens by showing Marines and Navy personnel engaging in   civic action  , working with villagers to construct churches, hospitals, and schools. A Navy corpsman with medical supplies is shown as a "symbol of America's helping hand."
    1:56   The film introduces the "unusual new kind of shallow water warfare" where Navy men operate small boats and transports to hunt and destroy the   waterborne Viet Cong   and advise the Vietnamese Navy.
    2:34   Just off the coast, the Navy and Coast Guard are shown conducting  Operation Market Time, constantly patrolling a thousand miles of coastline to search ships and junks for supplies intended for the Viet Cong.
    3:15   Well offshore, the film highlights the   aircraft carrier   as the "backbone of our Navy surface forces," operating as a mobile airbase with over 4,000 men. The workdays average 12 to 18 hours to keep combat sorties flying over North Vietnam.
    4:21   A search and rescue helicopter is deployed in response to a "Mayday" distress call. The film shows a rescue mission where a pilot who ejected near a rocky coastline is recovered by a Navy swimmer because the helicopter could not get close enough.

It dates to 1968. The film shows military as well as civil work, including nation building programs which it was hoped would stabilize South Vietnamese support against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese. At 2:00, the 25th Infantry Division, also known as "Tropic Lightning" is seen being welcomed by South Vietnamese. The unit is shown deploying in Huey helicopters at 2:30, and engaging in combat. At 03:00, the unit's HQ at the famed Schofield Barracks in Hawaii is shown. At 3:10, jungle fighting exercises in Hawaii are shown. At 3:48, deployment in December of 1966 is seen from Hawaii and deployed aboard a ship to Vung Tau, where the 2nd Brigade deployed and were greeted by General William Westmoreland. At 4:50 the unit moves towards the Cu Chi village area. At 5:24, the 3rd Brigade deploys to Pleiku in the central highlands of Vietnam, which would operate as the forward base for the division. This airlift was of the 3rd Brigade, known as Operation Blue Light, was the largest attempted to that time. At 6:30, operations against Viet Cong begin in earnest at Ban Me Thout with a month long sweep of the province. In a frustrating precursor of what was to come during the war, the VC withdrew in front of the division and evaded capture or combat. At 7:40, a battle casualty is shown as a result of small arms fire. At 8:15, food caches and medical supplies are shown captured in the field. 

At 8:40, armor elements at Cu Chi approach a former Michelin Rubber Plantation. At 9:44, a wounded soldier receives field treatment.

The film opens with a scene of a Sea Knight CH-46 rescuing a pilot from water (00:18). Aircraft carrier crewmen refer to escorting helicopters on rescue missions as “angels,” thus the title of the film. In 1966, deep snows strand boy scouts at Horseshoe Bend Camp in Rising Sun, Maryland (01:10). Responding to the distress call, Boeing Vertol sends in a Chinook CH-47 to rescue Troop 43 (02:03), safely evacuating the group to West Chester, Pennsylvania. Good Samaritan operations involving the helicopters occur outside of the U.S. as well. The U.S. Marine Corps Civic Action Program (03:14) helps people in Vietnam (02:55). Marine Corps Major General Keith Barr McCutcheon presides over a meeting (03:28). McCutcheon, the commanding general of the First Marine Aircraft Wing, discusses how there is a war for the people of Vietnam, and that civic operations with helicopter support assist local communities, encouraging the Vietnamese to view the U.S. as a force for good. This objective is accomplished through various activities and operations: music (04:40), medical/health initiatives, education, and public works. Major General Harry Kinnard and South Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Ky (05:23) observe the Civic Program, and General Kinnard discusses the purpose of the program and the importance of the helicopters (05:46). Helicopters are used to evacuate villages and transport the new refugees to safe locations (07:03). A Sea Knight CH-46 flies over Vietnam and brings food to the refugee village of Tam-cu (08:17). The helicopters allow the Marines to assist refugees until they can be resettled. Boeing-built helicopters play a significant part in this program, helping to ease the suffering of Vietnamese refugees, including children (09:33).

Daedalus, the Naval Air Engineering School. The film opens with a shot of helicopters taking off from an aircraft carrier (00:16), then cuts to scene of a student doing a flight simulation with a Wessex V mockup (00:36). The school’s female students, known as wren air mechanics (01:30), also study naval engineering. Students learn about and work on helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, such as the Sea Vixen fighter plane (02:42). The men and women at H.M.S. Daedalus learn to load aircraft with bombs (04:50) and mount machine guns (05:38), as well as reading instruments in mock cockpits, such as one in a Westland Sea King helicopter mockup (06:31). Students enjoy having the opportunity to build their own small aircraft too, such as a Kittiwake (07:41). 

Royal Naval Air Station Lee-on-Solent (HMS Daedalus) was one of the primary shore airfields of the Fleet Air Arm. First established as a seaplane base in 1917 during the First World War, it later became the main training establishment and administrative centre of the Fleet Air Arm. Situated near Lee-on-the-Solent in Hampshire, approximately four miles west of Portsmouth on the coast of the Solent at grid reference SU560019, the establishment has now been closed down. The airfield hosts the Solent Enterprise Zone.

The Mitchell Kittiwake is a British single engine sporting aircraft designed for amateur building. Plans were available for both single-seat and two-seat versions, but only four were constructed. In addition to the prototype, two Kittiwake Is were built, one by Royal Navy apprentices in 1971 for glider towing.

Craig. Close-up shots of whales lead to John at Marineland of the Pacific [open 1954-1987]  (:07-1:13). The Marineland of the Pacific ship’s captain calls in about a pod of pilot whales (1:14-2:10). The training pool shows “Bubbles”, the first captured pilot whale. [The press surrounding her 2016 death incorrectly attributes her capture to 1966]. Dave Brown, an English marine vet, spreads Zinc Oxide from an ELI Lilly jar on her back (2:11-3:50). A group of men put a mattress-lined cradle into the pool to move her. The whale thrashes about as they administer a syringe to sedate her. A calmer Bubbles is put into the cradle, tied down, hoisted onto the back of a truck, hoisted over to the large pool, and lowered into it (3:51-11:46). At the pool platform, Dave and John discuss that Bubbles won’t eat and a plan to feed her. Dave puts on a diving mask and enters the pool with the whale. Underwater footage shows Dave with tongs and Bubbles angrily swimming around him (11:47-15:00). Dave finally gets his chance to stick squid on the tongs into her mouth. He continues feeding her larger amounts from the tongs. He exits the pool (15:08-16:31). Dave squats on the platform dangling squid above the pool water. Bubbles rises up to take it (16:32-16:55). Bubbles annoys divers feeding fish in the tank (16:56-17:30). Dave crouches on the platform and uses hand signals to tell Bubbles to retrieve a pole with floats on each end and bring it back to him. He rewards her with squid (17:31-18:25). Dave places an innertube on Bubbles’ nose and she lifts it up out of the pool to him. He drops squid in the pilot whale’s mouth. He tosses it and Bubbles plays with it until one day it disappears (18:26-18:54). A diver wearing a hard hat diving suit emerges from the pool, the innertube not found. A hook holds the helmet and ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f7aa02df-884d-4ae7-8b47-ecace0b17db1/5356015a-a653-4ac0-b512-d98968964b32-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wzMW6v7uNYTixjxZr2S7Tc</video:player_loc><video:duration>1539</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T14:04:40.769Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/g8W7hacscnL98sUQrVxoGH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/25ac1b19-1e7c-4148-b8d0-1cd044bed087.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE STAR REPORTER IN HOLLYWOOD 1930s RADIO RECORDING &amp; BROADCASTING   SONS OF THE PIONEERS  65174</video:title><video:description>This 1937 black and white film about radio shows of that time was presented by Adolph Zukor and produced and directed by Herbert Moulton and Leslie Rousch.

Based on the content, this film appears that it was probably intended to promote the work of the combat cameramen and photographers in the Pacific. The film begins with footage aboard ship. At :00, a sailor uses an early radar system to detect incoming enemy aircraft. At :18,  anti-aircraft gunners engage targets. At :30 a Japanese plane falls into the sea. At :37, an escort carrier is hit by either a Japanese bomb or a Kamikaze strike. At :44 the carrier is seen completely engulfed in flames. At 1:00 another Japanese plane hits the sea. At 1:25, a cameraman films the action with what appears to be a Filmo type camera made by Bell &amp; Howell. At . At 1:32, the escort carrier is seen again, its deck a mass of white and black flames. At 1:34 the film switches to the moving of wounded sailors after the attack. Body bags line the deck of the ship while at 1:45 the U.S. flag is seen flying, with a Red Cross ensign seen above. At 1:48 a mass is given by a priest, and it is filmed by a cameraman seen on the left side of the frame. At 1:52, sailors listen to the mass while at 2:00 the dead are committed to the sea. At 2:00 the cameraman pauses to pray while more casualties are sent to Davy Jones. At 2:20 the sun begins to set, just another day of combat in the Pacific. At 2:45, blinker lights report the presence of more enemy planes and a spectacular dusk battle begins with tracers flying up from the fleet towards unseen attackers. At 2:52 a Japanese plane is hit and explodes, and its burning debris seen at 3:00. At 3:12, D-day on a Japanese held island somewhere in the Pacific. At 3:24 a cameraman films on board a landing craft. At 3:32 the beach is lit up with artillery fire from battleships and cruisers. At 3:55 aircraft make dive bomb attacks on enemy positions. At 4:13 landing craft race towards the beach. Another cameraman is seen at 4:23.

The first part likely dates to 1953-54. It begins with images of the prototype F-100 Super Sabre, known as the YF-100, tail # AF 52-5754. The flight shown is likely a composite of flights at Edwards Air Force Base. At 5:49 the prototype Sabreliner is shown, N4060K, probably in 1959. At 6:50 a chase aircraft joins the Sabreliner in flight. At 10:08 NAA test pilots are shown, most likely the F-100 crew. It's possible this part of the film documents the aircraft's first supersonic flight.

The North American F-100 Super Sabre is an American supersonic jet fighter aircraft that served with the United States Air Force (USAF) from 1954 to 1971 and with the Air National Guard (ANG) until 1979. The first of the Century Series of USAF jet fighters, it was the first USAF fighter capable of supersonic speed in level flight. The F-100 was designed by North American Aviation as a higher performance follow-on to the F-86 Sabre air superiority fighter.

Adapted as a fighter-bomber, the F-100 was supplanted by the Mach two-class F-105 Thunderchief for strike missions over North Vietnam. The F-100 flew extensively over South Vietnam as the air force's primary close air support jet until being replaced by the more efficient subsonic LTV A-7 Corsair II. The F-100 also served in other NATO air forces and with other U.S. allies. In its later life, it was often referred to as the Hun, a shortened version of "one hundred".

The North American Sabreliner, later sold as the Rockwell Sabreliner, is an American mid-sized business jet developed by North American Aviation. It was offered to the United States Air Force (USAF) in response to its Utility Trainer Experimental (UTX) program. It was named "Sabreliner" due to the similarity of the wing and tail to North American's F-86 Sabre jet fighter. Military variants, designated T-39 Sabreliner, were used by the USAF, Un...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/15b6975e-7f96-40b4-9e1f-1db75ba462cf/4629ca90-009e-4f84-9c81-a1885dc08f29-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3FvGWMhbgmsNmHuYbxYxDz</video:player_loc><video:duration>264</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T14:16:41.263Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/u3NgCY5ZLbA6fB4UAyShjB</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/de462f90-de8f-4ea2-bf03-454c9e482375.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NORTH AMERICAN AVIATION  F-100C SUPER SABRE CRASH @ EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE  BOB HOOVER  88804a</video:title><video:description>This silent reel of footage comes from the North American Aviation film library and was used for company film productions in the 1960s. The film begins with footage of aircraft assembly and engineers working in the NAA factory. At :30 a spectacular accident is shown on the runway at Edwards AFB as an F-100 jet fighter flown by Lt. Barty R. Brooks crashes in a fireball. The details of this accident are described below.

At 1:22 what might be the factory at Dallas, Texas is seen. At 1:29 the A-3 Vigilante is shown, probably the prototype aircraft. At 2:11 some of the company's WWII aircraft are briefly shown including the P-51 Mustang. The T-28 Trojan, a post-WWII trainer is also shown.  At 6:35 the Thunderbirds are shown flying the F-100E Super Sabre jet. At 11:15 the Super Sabre F-100 is shown. At 12:00 schlieren effect is demonstrated. At 12:40 low passes are made by an F-100. At 16:14, expert pilot R.A. "Bob" Hoover demonstrates his famous flight routine in his trademark P-51 Mustang. 

When a swept wing starts to stall, the outermost portions tend to stall first. Since these portions are behind the center of lift, the overall lift force moves forward, pitching the nose of the aircraft upwards. This leads to a higher angle of attack and causes more of the wing to stall, which exacerbates the problem. The pilot often loses control, with fatal results at low altitude because there was insufficient time for the pilot to regain control or eject before hitting the ground. A large number of aircraft were lost to this phenomenon during landing, which left aircraft tumbling onto the runway, often in flames.

One of the most notorious incidents was the loss of F-100C-20-NA Super Sabre 54-1907 and its pilot during an attempted emergency landing at Edwards AFB, California on January 10, 1956. By chance, this particular incident was recorded in detail on 16 mm film by cameras set up to cover an unrelated test. The pilot fought desperately to regain control due to faulty la...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e323e27a-6058-4056-bac1-64b5e292cb07/cda2c0c4-e29f-493c-8a58-85f77056c4e1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/u3NgCY5ZLbA6fB4UAyShjB</video:player_loc><video:duration>372</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T14:18:13.231Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7tN1MbB5h8Q4mYSRznkh9D</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/287a71f1-bbf9-444d-b059-10320ae295d7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1944 U.S. NAVY RECRUITING FILM    YOUR JOB IN THE NAVY  AVIATION RADIOMAN  34884e</video:title><video:description>This 1944 color restricted film about being an “Aviation Radioman” is part of a “Your Job in the Navy” series of recruitment films presented by the U.S. Navy. It opens with a view of the flat top of an escort type aircraft carrier (:16-:30). Radiomen wear headphones. One types on a piece of paper and hands it off (:32-:44). A sailor uses a multimeter. He polishes relay contacts on a radio transmitter (:46- 1:13). A stealth bomber is raised from the hangar on an elevator to the deck. The aviation radioman climbs into the rear cockpit. The bomber takes off. A view of the two men are shown in the air as they communicate with each other. At night, a submarine’s periscope cuts through the water below. The radioman sees it and identifies it as belonging to the enemy. He uses Morse code to send the message to a destroyer escorting the carrier. An explosion indicates the submarine has been destroyed (1:14-2:57). The aviation radioman now sees enemy planes arriving overhead. He radios the pilot the news. Aviation radiomen aboard the carrier receive the transmitted message and pass the warning on. Its planes fly to intercept the enemy. A flagman all in white signals each plane to depart (2:58-4:25). An enemy plane is coming. The aviation radioman swivels in his seat, raises up his machine gun, and fires.

KENNEDY 1962 SPEECH AT SAN LUIS DAM DEDICATION  LOS BANOS CALIFORNIA  60014</video:title><video:description>This cutty 16mm film shows President John F. Kennedy delivering remarks at the opening of the San Luis Dam in Los Banos, California on August 18, 1962. The film does not contain JFK's full remarks, and begins roughly halfway through his speech. A second portion is shown at about 7:50. At 4:45, a child in a Native American outfit greets the President in front of Marine One. At 7:10, Air Force One is shown arriving.  

At 11:07, Kennedy is seen on the campaign trail in Fresno, California, speaking about the concept of peace and the security of the United States. At 11:27 a passed out bystander is tended to by a policeman while at 11:44 Kennedy bumper stickers are passed out. 

At 12:30, what appears to be a reviewing stand is shown, probably at the Los Banos area. 

At 19:00, more coverage of JFK at the dam ceremony is shown. 

At 21:56 FJK is seen briefly in front of Air Force One, and then departs aboard the Marine One helicopter.

At 22:14, candidate Richard Nixon is seen speaking about the administration of welfare in the State of California. 

At 23:00, a military helicopter is seen arriving and at 23:19 Air Force One. At 27:58, more coverage of the dam opening is seen. At 29:46, a reporter speaks on camera about the dam project. At 32:44, Senator Thomas Kuchel speaks about the San Luis Reservoir. 

The San Luis Reservoir is an artificial lake on San Luis Creek in the eastern slopes of the Diablo Range of Merced County, California, approximately 12 mi (19 km) west of Los Banos on State Route 152, which crosses Pacheco Pass and runs along its north shore. It is the fifth largest reservoir in California. The reservoir stores water taken from the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta. Water is pumped uphill into the reservoir from the O'Neill Forebay which is fed by the California Aqueduct and is released back into the forebay to continue downstream along the aqueduct as needed for farm irrigation and other uses.

It is Part 3 of a series made by the Shell Film Unit and directed by Denis Segaller. Royal Air Force aircraft is used for the actual footage. Part 2 is reviewed with a diagram of transonic range and how subsonic and supersonic air flow moves around the aircraft (:45-1:05). The animation depicts the entirely supersonic air flow around a fighter plane. The Mach angle is shown for each increase in Mach speed (1:08-2:29). A pencil tip held in fast-moving water depicts how air flow is only affected inside the wave from the tip (2:30-2:41). The animation depicts this supersonic point (2:43-3:12). A wind tunnel shockwave is depicted off the plane tip and then explained using a diagram (3:13-3:47). This change from supersonic to subsonic is depicted using a wind-up cow that walks down a slanted board to a level board and then diagrammed (3:48-5:44). A wing section with a sharp curve is depicted to show how as speed increases, the pressure falls after the curve, known as expansion. The angles are depicted in detail (5:46-8:00). Footage of air flow in action is shown in a smoke tunnel, showing why sharp corners on supersonic aircraft must be avoided (8:02-8:25). A thin flat plate wing section depicts air flow and pressure (8:44-9:42). A missile with a double-wedge wing is shown (9:48). The wind tunnel flow on this wing shape is shown at Mach 1.8, followed by an animated diagram of air flow and pressure distribution for lift (9:55-10:18).

The film shows some of the modern equipment added to the ship to keep it in operation, while highlighting the "trip back in time" that the steamboat made possible -- back to the days of Mark Twain. The film was made by Greene Line Steamers and produced by Lee Strosnider and features the song "Delta Queen, My Time Machine" written by George Tassian and performed by John Hartford. it was directed by Bill Muster. The film was widely used to promote preservation of the ship, and during the last four months of 1972, the film played on numerous TV shows and at private showings for groups, clubs, churches, etc. as part of that effort.

The Delta Queen is an American sternwheel steamboat. Historically, she has been used for cruising the major rivers that constitute the tributaries of the Mississippi River, particularly in the American South. She was docked in Chattanooga, Tennessee and served as a floating hotel until she was bought by the newly formed Delta Queen Steamboat Company. She was towed to Houma, Louisiana, in March 2015 to be refurbished to her original condition. The Delta Queen is 285 feet (87 m) long, 58 feet (18 m) wide, and draws 11.5 feet (3.5 m). She weighs 1,650 tons (1,676 metric tons), with a capacity of 176 passengers. Her cross-compound steam engines generate 2,000 indicated horsepower (1,500 kW), powering a stern-mounted paddlewheel. Built in 1927, she is the last surviving steam-powered overnight passenger boat plying the watershed of the Mississippi. She was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989.

The hull, first two decks, and steam engines were ordered in 1924 from the William Denny &amp; Brothers shipyard on the River Leven adjoining the River Clyde at Dumbarton, Scotland. Delta Queen and her sister, Delta King, were shipped in pieces to Stockton, California in 1926. There the California Transportation Company assembled t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1a9beb3d-c171-4086-9f8b-d217664ca66b/a8ea7464-e10a-43db-b788-f0f1d00cfc1b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4hzr12hSsqEJ6goVzgQpAK</video:player_loc><video:duration>841</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T14:37:34.575Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tdmMEjQ1A22qtJX7vgTGRf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/77c20c0e-216d-4f79-bd21-0c39ec36e484.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS   CONSTRUCTION OF ROLLED EARTH DAMS  62994</video:title><video:description>Rolled Earth Dams is a color documentary produced by the United States Army Corps of Engineers.

(The Ahwanee (now the Majestic) opened in 1927.) The movie features various views of the park starting with Arch Rock Ranger Station at :30, and shows Cascade Falls (1:29), El Capitan (2:30), the mirror pools (3:40), elk in the park (6:00), Camp Curry (7:00 -- now known as Half Dome Village) including the swimming pool (7:15), the Mirror Lake (7:35), the Ahwanee Hotel (7:54) including the view from the dining room (10:00), Vernal Falls (12:10), Nevada Falls (13:35), and the Merced River (14:00). 

The Yosemite Park and Curry Company (YP&amp;C C) was organized in 1925 when Yosemite National Park’s two largest concessionaires, the Yosemite National Park Co. (previously the D.J. Desmond Co.) which operated the Yosemite Lodge and other smaller enterprises at Yosemite, and the Curry Camping Co. which operated Camp Curry, merged. Creation of the new company was the culmination of a decade-long effort by NPS Director Stephen Mather to consolidate services at Yosemite to better serve the visiting public and more efficiently develop visitor services in the park. 

The Ahwahnee Hotel is a grand hotel in Yosemite National Park, California, on the floor of Yosemite Valley, constructed from steel, stone, concrete, wood and glass, which opened in 1927. It is a premiere example of National Park Service rustic architecture and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987. The hotel was built by two companies that were merged when the National Park Service began leasing concessions to a single concessionaire in 1925.

This issue  —volume 1, number 1 and we don't believe there was ever a number 2 — was actually produced by Carmel Productions. It begins with coverage of a record heatwave hitting Hollywood. Local businessman Patrick O’Toole sits in the shade, combating the heat by fanning himself and drinking ice-cold lemonade (00:40). A boy rides down a residential street, carrying the “Sunday chicken” home for dinner (01:19), while an ingenious man wears a hose-powered shower to keep him cool while mowing the lawn (01:44). The next segment, “International Affairs: Hollywood’s Celebrated Peacemaker Returns Home,” shows the railroad station (02:16) where members of the press wait for the arrival of Mr. Casper White (02:51), supposedly the most peaceful man in the world. The next segment features women from Hall’s Manufacturing Company putting on a beach fashion show (03:23), modeling swimsuits for their friends and colleagues. In “Home Front: Girls Carry Mail—Males Carried Away” (04:43), an attractive young woman delivers mail to an elderly man, who is quite taken with the young woman and must be reined in by his wife. The next segment takes viewers to the end of an 18-month strike at the Royal Ice Cream Company (06:37), where owner Mr. Royal and union rep Mr. Gray sign a pact ending the strike. However, the pact is ripped up when Mr. Royal and Mr. Gray escalate tensions with an ice cream fight. The final segment features the Hollywood arrival of Lord and Lady Harper from England (09:41).

At 1:09 the film looks at the stability augmentation system used with the AH-1G, also known as the Model 209.

At 1:54 the turret system with its minigun is seen in action.Various versions are shown at 2:39 including a version with a grenade launcher. At 3:12 the sophisticated gunsight is shown. At 3:41 the wing stores are described including minigun pods at 4:00, and at 4:24 aerial rocket pods are shown and a maximum ordnance load described. At 4:30 slow motion photography shows the rockets in use. At 4:54 a prototype Cobra is shown with a 20mm cannon with six barrels. At 5:50 a 20mm turret subsystem is shown as well as a 30mm prototype. 

The Bell AH-1 Cobra is a two-blade, single-engine attack helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter. It was developed using the engine, transmission and rotor system of the Bell UH-1 Iroquois. A member of the prolific Huey family, the AH-1 is also referred to as the HueyCobra or Snake.

The AH-1 was the backbone of the United States Army's attack helicopter fleet, but has been replaced by the AH-64 Apache in Army service. Upgraded versions continue to fly with the militaries of several other nations. The AH-1 twin-engine versions remain in service with United States Marine Corps (USMC) as the service's primary attack helicopter. Surplus AH-1 helicopters have been converted for fighting forest fires.

Bell's initial mock-up of the Model 209 largely resembled the "Iroquois Warrior" mockup. In Vietnam, events were also advancing in favor of the Model 209. Attacks on US forces were increasing, and by the end of June 1965 there were already 50,000 US ground troops in Vietnam.1965 was also the deadline for AAFSS selection, but the program would become stuck in technical difficulties and political bickering. The U.S. Army needed an interim gunship for Vietnam and it asked five companies to provide a quick solution.

The history of Lewis Field begins with the National Air Races, held in Cleveland throughout the 1930s. Conducted at what is now Hopkins International Airport, the races were a major aviation event each year. Thousands of people came to view them. To accommodate the large crowds, bleachers and a parking lot were built on a field just west of the airport. 

When the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, NASA's predecessor, decided in 1939 that it needed a new laboratory to supplement the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory near Hampton, Virginia, the city and Chamber of Commerce proposed Cleveland as the site. However, the Calif. aircraft industry was successful in getting the lab  -- now the Ames Research Center --built at Moffett Field near Sunnyvale instead.

When Charles A. Lindbergh returned to the U.S. from Europe in 1939 on the eve of World War II, he was worried that engine developments in England and Germany were a threat to America. Lindbergh chaired a Special Committee on Aeronautical Research Facilities which recommended building a new engine research laboratory near the aircraft engine companies.

Cleveland competed with 19 other sites for the new lab. Among the criteria that were being used for selection were: 1 A site adjoining a suitable airport, 2 Power and water resources for wind tunnel operation, 3 Location near aircraft engine companies, and 4 A location that is not vulnerable to enemy attack. The strategic vulnerability of the NACA's other two laboratories to potential future enemies made the Midwest appear an attractive location. The fields to the west of Cleveland's airport were select for the site of the new Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory.

Groundbreaking ceremonies for the new lab were held at the site in Cleveland on January 23, 1941, and the n...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f5faf779-6761-45f7-8e95-91975f6b1e07/19c4c6b9-2add-41a5-9621-d597e30c0c42-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wnJuD6HNe6fa2U3v9jhNPa</video:player_loc><video:duration>2321</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T15:43:04.163Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8J9i1TcqxyaiAfwiZQn5BC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9e52159b-4c05-43e3-a7de-9c4eb45b247f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>EARLY HISTORY OF THE AUTOMOBILE  "MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG" PART 2 w/GROUCHO MARX  MODEL T FORD 49044</video:title><video:description>This film is the continuation of the film titled ‘Merrily We All Roll Along’ with Groucho Marx as the narrator. It begins with the Model T and the information that this vehicle could be purchased for about $300 (:18) and arrived without accessories, meaning the floorboards were often made from box the battery had arrived in (:42). One of it’s many quirks was a slow creeping forward if the handbrake, throttle and spark were not all aligned exactly (1:35). The weekly Sunday drive gave meaning to the phrase ‘going for a spin’ as it referred to how many miles the driver could put on the speedometer (2:39). Groucho Marx leans against a car with jokes painted all over the sides as it was popular for kids to do this (5:49). Viewers may also take note that around this time gas was only 22 cents per gallon (6:01). In 1905 there was only about fifty miles of paved road. By the mid-twenties this was still unimproved (6:35) and a car is seen riding half tire deep into the mud (6:42). Gasoline that was once cast aside as a waste product was now becoming a major industry (9:01). The automobile did eventually fuel the formation of modern roads (9:28). It also influenced and widened social horizons as the youth were now able to make friends outside of family (11:14). School houses which were once only one room for multiple ages and grades grew and expanded (12:34). Farmers were given the ability to drive their own livestock to markets (12:52). Paved roads in the city areas are depicted (13:33) and this also lead to a turn away from agriculture as many sought employment in city factories (13:37). The US was one of the only countries in which those whom made the cars were paid enough to also afford their own (14:08). These improvements in industry also led to a more sophisticated crime wave and a police car equipped with a radio is shown as law enforcement evolved to keep up (15:35). A heap of trolley cars which were becoming obsolete appear burning on screen (16:10).

It opens with a shot of the Grand American Handicap Trapshooting Competition in Vandalia, Ohio (:23-:35). The camera scans the assortment of guns and targets on a table. Earl demonstrates his skill with the assistance of his daughter Betty Jane, who wears a 1940s short-sleeve sweater and striped shorts. He uses a trapshooting gun to hit small blocks of wood and pierces the tape through the center of a washer (:36-1:23). He next displays his shotgun skills by hitting two clay targets thrown in the air; the first with one shotgun and the second with another shotgun. He breaks two targets simultaneously on both sides of an axe (1:24-2:10).  His daughter puts on round sunglasses and holds three pieces of chalk in her hand. Her dad shoots and breaks each one individually (2:11-3:00). She then takes a cigarette from a pack, places it in her mouth, and lights it. He shoots the very end off three times in a row (3:01-3:45). Earl straps on a pistol belt. He holds the pistol properly and shoots at a line of targets, then sideways, then upside-down, and then backwards using a mirror (3:46-4:55). Earl sets up a specially constructed pendulum and stake for demonstrating coordination and timing. Betty Jane starts the pendulum in motion. Earl uses a mirror to shoot the swinging pigeon clay target when it is centered over the fixed one on the stake (4:56-5:38). Earl demonstrates a Western fast draw by holding his hand out with a block of wood on it. He drops and draws the pistol with the same hand to shoot the wood. The shot is also shown in slow-motion (5:39-6:12). Betty Jean takes produce out of a basket and hands him one piece at a time. He throws it up into the air and shoots a grapefruit, a cabbage, a potato wrapped in crepe paper, and a can of fruit cocktail (6:13-6:52). He sits down and points the gun at an easel. He draws the head ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/24741e30-df0d-4a97-82b5-0a16a6cc5ec0/fa45347a-333b-41c7-b724-d88aac23a5fb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5v5RLWj8n76Xgnv2Nuwto9</video:player_loc><video:duration>547</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T15:49:48.773Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/151fshPZVreF14ngusqK1F</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2f545d1f-bc8e-4f77-8417-abe444758aac.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>EARLY HISTORY OF THE AUTOMOBILE  "MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG" PART 1 w/ GROUCHO MARX  MODEL T FORD 49044a</video:title><video:description>Released in 1961, MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG presents a history of the automobile. Narrator Groucho Marx (:54) of Marx Brothers and You Bet Your Life fame starts the show by pointing out that commercials were once pasted on the sides of barn and livery stables (2:25). In 1896, there existed only about 16 cars in the US (3:15) and most had to be seen at a circus (3:30) as a ‘horse-less carriage’ is seen. The early automobile is led by a man on horseback waving a red flag in order to announce its arrival (4:15). During these times the automobile driver had to halt, thoroughly examine cross roads, honk the horn repeatedly, holler, fire a gun and light an explosive in the center of the intersection (4:43). Many protested the arrival of the automobile (5:27). Horses were spooked easily by the vehicles and the driver steps out to cover it in order to get the horse to pass (5:31). If this doesn’t work, the car is then shown being dismantled (6:30) and its pieces are hidden among the grass. Few had the ability to go over 40mph and it was considered illegal (7:41). A sign for “Automobiles not accommodated” is shown (8:12). Early automobiles are depicted rolling down the streets of San Francisco (8:43) as well as perhaps the first man to be run over by one (10:43). The Automobile race in October of 1904 by William Vanderbilt Jr helped to make them more popular (11:48). Footage of the race is shown which boasted 25,000 spectators (12:01). A French model with a 90-horsepower engine won the race at 52mph (12:09). The ‘climb for the mountains’ was an eight-mile road race up Mount Washington (12:27). At the 30% grade, the motorist’s mechanic would jump from the car and push (12:43). The Almond Beach Port became the proving grounds for racing and speed (13:18) and at this time, in 1906, there were 75 different car models. The winner of the race hit a world record of 127mph (13:41). Barry Oldfield was the driver and the man whom popularized the sport (13:51). The Indianapolis Memorial...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/008f20ef-4e9a-4edb-ac73-3c53e046ab53/6a17a71a-510c-4675-a144-afa264fcf9bf-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/151fshPZVreF14ngusqK1F</video:player_loc><video:duration>1516</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T15:56:11.009Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gLsMdCSHn1hiufiPsq7LZf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7bafafe1-5753-421c-bac6-b6695df06924.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s WORKPLACE &amp; INDUSTRIAL SAFETY FILM  "THE VOICE OF THE BOOK"  RAILROADS 42924</video:title><video:description>This 1952 black and white film about work safety is depicted using actors Larry Paquin (George Todd), John Hatton (Charlie Todd), Pat Jenkins (Sally Kendrick), Woodbury (Mabel), Ann Dere (Grace Todd), Art Jarrett (General Manager), Al McGranary (Mayor), and Marie Hildreth (Mrs. Wallace).

This took place on May 20, 1937 as part of the Coronation. After the small beginnings of naval airpower at the 1912 review, five carriers were present this time. The sole U.S. Navy representative was USS New York, which had brought Admiral Hugh Rodman, the President's personal representative for the coronation, across the Atlantic. Germany was represented by the new pocket battleship Graf Spee. A fleet review is a traditional gathering of ships from a particular navy to be observed by the reigning monarch or his or her viceroy, a practice allegedly dating back to the 15th century. Such an event is not held at regular intervals and originally only occurred when the fleet was mobilised for war or for a show of strength to discourage potential enemies. However, since the 19th century they have often been held for the coronation or for special royal jubilees. Indeed, since Edward VIII it has been regularly held at each coronation, though the one scheduled in the United Kingdom for Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee was cancelled due to costs. Also, since the 19th century, fleet reviews increasingly often include delegates from other national navies.

The film starts with shots of horseless carriages maneuvering in traffic with pedestrians and bicyclists. At 4:40 the first Vanderbilt Cup Race is shown. The Vanderbilt Cup was the first major trophy in American auto racing. t was founded by William Kissam Vanderbilt II in 1904 and first held on October 8 on a course set out in Nassau County on Long Island, New York. The announcement that the race was to be held caused considerable controversy in New York, bringing a flood of legal actions in an attempt to stop the race. The politicians soon jumped in, holding public hearings on the issue. Vanderbilt prevailed and the inaugural race was run over a 30.24 miles (48.7 km) course of winding dirt roads through the Nassau County area. At 8:06 the Glidden Tour is shown at Mt. Washington.
At 10:50 one of the cars in the race is seen under repair while it makes the hill climb! The Glidden Tours, also known as the National Reliability Runs, were promotional events held during the automotive Brass Era by the American Automobile Association (AAA) and organized by the group's chairman, Augustus Post. The AAA, a proponent for safer roads, acceptance of the automobile and automotive-friendly legislation, started the tour to promote public acceptance and bring awareness of their goals.[1]

The original Glidden Tours were held from 1904[2] until 1913. They were named after Charles J. Glidden, a financier and automobile enthusiast, who presented the AAA with a trophy first awarded to the winner of the 1905 tour. At the turn of the century automobile travel was difficult as the road systems around the world were generally not well suited for the horseless carriage. The film ends with shots of an early speed race that looks like it's on a beach, possibly Daytona.

The Kitchen Debate was a series of impromptu exchanges (through interpreters) between then U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev at the opening of the American National Exhibition at Sokolniki Park in Moscow on July 24, 1959. For the exhibition, an entire house was built that the American exhibitors claimed anyone in America could afford. It was filled with labor-saving and recreational devices meant to represent the fruits of the capitalist American consumer market. The debate was recorded on color videotape and Nixon made reference to this fact; it was subsequently rebroadcast in both countries.

In the US, three major television networks broadcast the kitchen debate on July 25. The Soviets subsequently protested, as Nixon and Khrushchev had agreed that the debate should be broadcast simultaneously in America and the Soviet Union, with the Soviets threatening to withhold the tape until they were ready to broadcast. The American networks, however, had felt that delay would cause the news to lose its immediacy. Two days later, on July 27, the debate was broadcast on Moscow television, albeit late at night and with Nixon's remarks only partially translated.

American reaction was initially mixed, with The New York Times calling it "an exchange that emphasized the gulf between east and west but had little bearing on the substantive issue" and portrayed it as a political stunt. The newspaper also declared that public opinion seemed divided after the debates. On the other hand, Time, also covering the exhibition, praised Nixon, saying he "managed in a unique way to personify a national character proud of peaceful accomplishment, sure of its way of life, confident of its power under threat."

Because of the informal nature of the exchange, Nixon gained popularity, improving upon the lukewarm reception he previously had with the U.S. public. He also impressed Mr. Khrushchev. Said...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f4f21348-7f54-4e43-81bc-070489d89b94/9516d825-d0b8-4819-9090-533d7dbaffb0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wfjEze6927HTd2Uu275yWY</video:player_loc><video:duration>505</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T16:49:34.889Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eADENBMUiDMidGoPoGD8az</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/058e93cf-0308-493b-9c39-3fd49ade3f26.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s NATO - PRODUCED   ICELAND DOCUMENTARY FILM  REYKJAVIK 64684</video:title><video:description>This short documentary from the 1950s NATO-produced The Atlantic Community film series focuses on the island nation of Iceland.

Douglas MacArthur returned to the United States. This followed disagreements on the conduct of the Korean War with President Harry Truman, who on April 11, 1951, relieved MacArthur of his command of U.S. forces in Korea. MacArthur’s firing set off a major uproar among the American public. Arriving in San Francisco on April 17th, 1951, MacArthur was given a hero’s welcome. Staff representative Gene Sherman reported in the April 19, 1951, Los Angeles Times:

SAN FRANCISCO, April 18 –– Gen. MacArthur publicly renounced all political aspirations here today climaxing a truly fabulous welcome home.

The 71-year-old deposed supreme commander chose a tumultuous civic reception on the City Hall steps to answer a question the world has asked.

Concluding gracious remarks of home-coming and appreciation for the overwhelming Bay City greeting, the general added:

“I have been asked if I intend to enter politics. My reply was, ‘No’.”…

He continued:

“I have no political aspirations whatsoever.

“I do not intend to run for any political office and I hope my name never be used in a political way.

“The only politics I have are contained in the simple phrase known well by all of you–God bless America.”

The documentary style film was made in 1934, and was noted for its experimental use of sound without voice over. The film is about the "Isabella Grieg" which was a fishing trawler that traveled from Granton Harbour to through the east coast of Edinburgh, then to the fishing grounds between Shetland and Norway. These are on Viking Bank which is between Shetland and the Norwegian coast. Granton Trawler was a favourite film of Grierson's, he saw it as a homage to the Isabella Greig that was sunk in 1941 by German bombs when it went out to fish and was never seen again. Another film "The Private Life of Gannets" was also filmed on the Isabella Greig; the film was shot on Grassholm with Grierson shooting the slow-motion sequence of the gannets diving for fish which took only one afternoon to shoot near Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth. The Private Life of Gannets went on to pick up an Academy Award in 1937.

John Grierson CBE (26 April 1898 – 19 February 1972) was a pioneering Scottish documentary maker, often considered the father of British and Canadian documentary film. In 1926, Grierson coined the term "documentary" in a review of Robert Flaherty's Moana.

Hand tools are panned. Primitive Pete is a caveman who misuses each tool depicted (:50-2:13). Proper use of the ball and face sides of a ball-peen (ball-pein) hammer is explained (2:25-3:35). Hammers shown are brass or copper, raw-hide face, plastic tip, and claw (3:49). The claw hammer is used to hammer nails and the claw end to remove them. Shown are how to fix a loose head with a steel wedge and the proper way to hold a hammer (3:50-5:33). Primitive Pete ruins a screwdriver trying to pry a window open and hammering on it. A screwdriver has a handle, a long or short shank, and blade. The proper fit for a blade and screw slot are shown, as is how to grind a screwdriver into shape (5:34-8:17). A heavy-duty screwdriver has a large square shank for use with a wrench (8:18-8:47). Different types of pliers are shown: combination, diagonal cutting, long round-nose, and side-cutting (9:04). Insulated electrical wire is cut at the front of side-cutting pliers, flattened in the joint, and the insulation stripped at the front (9:05-9:36). Long round-nose pliers make a right-angle bend in wire and can make a loop (9:37-10:00).  Diagonal pliers have angular cutting jaws; useful for cotter pins (10:01-10:13). Oil is placed on the joints (10:14-10:21). Combination pliers have a slip joint. A sheer between the teeth and joint is for cutting wire or nails. They should not be used on nuts (10:22-11:00). An open-end wrench is used to loosen and tighten nuts. The size measurement is the distance between the jaws. Primitive Pete hurts himself while trying to over-tighten the nut on a push lawnmower. The head is set at a 15-degree angle to the handle. In tight spaces, flip the head over for each turn (11:01-12:33). An open-end wrench with an adjustable jaw is for multiple nut sizes. The nut should fit snugly before closing the jaw to it.

Buddhist Temple in America Middle 1920s. Japanese Americans enter a Buddhist Temple in Fresno, California. Three leaders bow in front of a shrine. Others bow sitting in the pews (1:00-1:18). Service Deluxe 1928. A strongman dressed as a waiter picks up a tableclothed table with just his teeth. He carries an additional two chairs on each arm and moves the table to a new location has the patrons follow. He uses just his teeth and ropes to pick up a man sitting in a chair. He then stacks chairs on a table and tables on tables and picks them up with his teeth (1:24-2:05). Aviation 1927. The USS Los Angeles (ZR-3) is moored at Lakehurst, New Jersey before launch for its inauguration. The cockpit inside the dirigible is shown, as is the view of Baltimore, Annapolis, and the Washington Monument as it sails over. The Captain looks out through binoculars for the landing. The ground crew looks like ants as they scramble across the field and then secure the airship. President and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge christan it the USS Los Angeles (2:10-3:41). Fashions of the Day 1923. The crowd is dressed in 1923 fashions at a dog show. A female trainer wears a masculine-looking coat and pointed shoes.

Real World War I planes are pulled out of a building at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome for a WWI weekend flying show and WWI radio-controlled aircraft jamboree in front of a large crowd. A radio-controlled model Fokker Triplane flies by the camera. A modeler carries his Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 (:25-1:39). Cole Palen, Rhinebeck’s owner, is interviewed. A Mid-Hudson Radio Control Society member is interviewed. Members prepare their planes. The jackets of radio control groups are shown (1:40-2:58). An X-Acto knife blade is drawn through balsa wood up-close. A hand places the tip of a glue bottle at wing joints (3:00-3:25). A modeler works in a garage full of shelves with parts. He explains the process of building a model airplane. He holds a servomechanism up to the camera, and shows how to use a transmitter to control the airplane.  The wing and throttle respond as he moves the stick and lever on the transmitter (3:26-5:14).  A man flies his WWI S.E.5 biplane and safely lands it (5:45-6:25). A stop watch begins the three-minute time the modeler has to get his German Rumpler Taube plane in the air. The propeller won’t start by hand so he uses an electric starter (6:26-7:09). Another puts his Albatross D-V “Red Baron” through the required maneuvers, which scored on a sheet (7:10-7:30). Different planes go through maneuvers (7:40-8:13). A close-up of a modeler using the transmitter to guide his plane is shown (8:16-8:30). A German WWI biplane takes off (8:35). A British S.E.5.A has a bomb attached to the bottom to drop on a target (8:50-9:05). Another challenge is to break balloons attached to a pole. The Taube gets tangled in it and crashes (9:07-9:37). The S.E.5.A lands (9:38). A modeler climbs a tree to retrieve a plane. The damage is examined (9:50-10:38). A dogfight ends with a crash (10:44-11:18). A hat has tiny models of WWI planes (11:26).

During the war new appliances were not available and so the film shows ways to keep General Electric appliances in good operating condition. It begins with a frayed cord and how this chord has been frayed by being pulled from the wire and not the plug itself (2:59). The roaster follows (3:36) and this must be properly cleaned inside and out. For care of the toaster (3:45), users must refrain from shaking it to loosen crumbs or to insert a fork into it as it may cause electrocution (3:45). The crumb tray which can be removed and cleaned is shown (4:16). Most modern coffee makers are made of glass (4:29). Cleanliness here maintains fresh flavor and aroma (4:59). For the mixer, the motors are to be cleaned and lubricated (5:22). To ensure even browning of waffles, the waffle iron must be heated to the appropriate temperature (5:46). A washing machine is looked at next and these must not be overloaded (6:31). The agitator is removed, pulled apart, cleaned to prevent soap buildup (6:42) and we are then informed this particular model had to be drained after each use. The vacuum is looked at next and the bag must be emptied as when full this impedes its full capabilities (8:41). The refrigerator is being thoroughly cleaned (9:47). It was easiest to clean the freezer during the process of defrosting. This must be done in order to keep a layer of frost forming which prevents the freezer from working properly (9:47). The drip tray is shown being emptied and cleaned as well (10:35). The book titled “How to Cook A Wolf” by MFK Fisher (11:55) presented readers with numerous ideas for saving money, preventing waste, and improving flavor. A test is conducted in order to tell the freshness of an egg (12:07) and this is done by dropping an egg into water. For cooking eggs, fats are added before the eggs and the heat is promptly turned down and skillet is covered ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/023c9374-82e9-40aa-a1a6-23e4fce751de/3ddbfc7a-7419-4605-b242-e5b12bcb43ec-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1h26Agy1J9TRqNtnpGeoBQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1129</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T17:20:40.308Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vU6NCETxeEbirjthq21m2C</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/552d8825-3a63-46c0-8bfc-c59fecc5f255.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. ARMY TESTS OF AMPHIBIOUS JEEP &amp; TRUCKS w/ SNORKEL 63554</video:title><video:description>This restricted, silent film CF-579, shows U.S. Army modifications to a Willy's Jeep to make it into an amphibious vehicle. At :34, a look under the hood shows engine components sealed against water incursion. At :39, the jeep enters deep water and literally drives across the bottom, thanks to a snorkel visible on the vehicle's right side. At 1:22 tests continue, with a Dodge Command Car or truck emerging from the water at 1:54.

While these tests appear successful, it's not clear how many modified Jeeps made it into inventory, if any.  Roughly 13,000 purposefully designed amphibian jeeps -- which look quite a bit different -- were built by Ford under the name GPA (nicknamed "Seep" for Sea Jeep). Inspired by the larger DUKW, the vehicle was produced too quickly and proved to be too heavy, too unwieldy, and of insufficient freeboard. In spite of participating successfully in the Sicily landings in July 1943, most GPAs were routed to the U.S.S.R. under the Lend-Lease program. The Soviets were sufficiently pleased with its ability to cross rivers to develop their own version of it after the war, the GAZ-64.

The episode features a beginner SCUBA diver named Joanne Gibson who is exploring the deep with expert divers. The episode showcases some of the new diving technologies that were gaining public interest in this era. At 2:12, a Power Dive -- an electric powered underwater craft -- is shown. Also shown are an array of underwater life including lobsters, sharks, octopi, fish and reef life. At 6:29 basics of SCUBA preparation are shown and Joanne practices on the reefs. At 7:40, an undersea treasure hunt is shown with Bermuda's governor and expedition leader Teddy Tucker as well as his wife Edna. The two explore a shipwreck site. (Mr Tucker discovered more than 100 shipwrecks in Bermuda waters, and was a founding member of the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute aka BUEI. His friend and author, the late Peter Benchley, once described Mr Tucker as the man who “brought the world to Bermuda, and Bermuda to the world”. His adventures inspired the Jaws author to write his second novel The Deep, which in 1977 was filmed in Bermuda and included Mr Tucker in the cast.)  At 10:59 cannon balls, coins, and other items are shown recovered from the sea. At 12:00 a cannon is seen at the bottom of the sea. At 15:50, another expedition led by Ed Link presents salvaged items to the officials of the Republic of Haiti. Ed Link may have found one of the anchors of the ship Santa Maria, helmed by Columbus. At 16:30 sacks of cement are seen on the bottom of the ocean floor. At 18:00 Teddy Tucker is shown exploring wreckage near Bermuda's Elbow Beach. At 19:00 Tucker is shown salvaging brass shell casings from the wreck. At 19:54 the cordite in the shells is burned off. At 20:12 spearfishing is shown.

At 6:50, the film follows a group of ranchers who hunt for bobcats in New Mexico or Arizona with packs of dogs. At 8:50, a bobcat is subdued and put in a cage for transport to a zoo. 

Tex Stone hunted all kinds of big game all over the globe, always with bow and arrow. He used the same bow since he started hunting back in 1919. It was six feet long and has a pull of a little more than 80 pounds. He used 28-inch arrows, tipped with heads of 332 steel, 1 inch long. His bow would drive one of these arrows through a two-by-four board at a considerable distance, and could kill a lion or tiger but not such a tough-hided hombre as the rhinocerous.

He was the first man to travel over 100 miles per hour on water. Here's the original description of the film from the 1940s: "The pastime of aviation is shown, and the development of the sport in different sections of the country among enthusiasts. All sorts and types of flyers are shown, from a gent who uses a barn as a hangar for his plane, to the luxury passenger plane of Gar Wood which he uses to fly from his Florida estate to his office in Detroit. This is a very entertaining short, indicating the development of general flying at an early date among many classes of people for all sorts of pleasure and business purposes. Produced by Frederic Ullman, Jr."

It was likely made shortly after the start of international service in 1954. The film features images of the "City of Nagoya"  DC-6B aircraft and shows in-flight service, a stop over in Honolulu, Hawaii where Waikiki Beach and the airport are shown, and some images of Japan at 2:00. At 1:49 the camera crew making the film is briefly shown. 

Starting at 3:37, bright neon signs from Tokyo are highlighted. 

Japan Air Lines Co., Ltd. was established on 1 August 1951, with the government of Japan recognizing the need for a reliable air transportation system to help Japan grow in the aftermath of the World War II. The airline was founded with an initial capital of ¥100 million; and its headquarters located in Ginza, Chūō, Tokyo. Between 27 and 29 August, the airline operated invitational flights on a Douglas DC-3 Kinsei, leased from Philippine Airlines. On 25 October, Japan's first post-war domestic airline service was inaugurated, using a Martin 2-0-2 aircraft, named Mokusei, and crew leased from Northwest Airlines. On 1 August 1953, the National Diet passed the Japan Air Lines Company Act, forming a new state-owned Japan Air Lines on 1 October, which assumed all assets and liabilities of its private predecessor. By 1953, the JAL network extended northward from Tokyo to Sapporo and Misawa, and westward to Nagoya, Osaka, Iwakuni and Fukuoka.

On 2 February 1954, the airline began international flights, carrying 18 passengers from Tokyo to San Francisco on a Douglas DC-6B City of Tokyo via Wake Island and Honolulu.

At 8:00, General Patton is seen in Sicily while his troops surge into the interior of the island.

Operation Corkscrew was the code name for the Allied invasion of the Italian island of Pantelleria (between Sicily and Tunisia) on 11 June 1943, prior to the Allied invasion of Sicily during the Second World War. There had been an early plan to occupy the island in late 1940 (Operation Workshop),[1] but this was aborted when the Luftwaffe strengthened the Axis air threat in the region.

The Allied focus returned to Pantelleria in early 1943. The radar installations and airfield on the island were seen as a real threat to the planned invasion of Sicily (codenamed Operation Husky). The Italian garrison on the island was 12,000 strong in well-entrenched pillboxes and 21 gun batteries of a variety of calibres. In addition, there was an opportunity to assess the impact of bombardment upon heavily fortified defences.[3] It was decided to see if the island could be forced into submission by aerial and naval bombardment alone. Failing this, an amphibious invasion was planned for 11 June.

Starting in late May, the island was subjected to steadily increasing bombing attacks. In early June, the attacks intensified and 14,203 bombs amounting to 4,119 tons were dropped on 16 Italian batteries. On 8 June, a Royal Navy task force of five cruisers, eight destroyers and three torpedo boats carried out a bombardment of the main port on the island.

The engagement was observed by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander in the Mediterranean, and Admiral Andrew Cunningham from the flagship HMS Aurora. From 8 May to 11 June 5,285 bombing sorties were flown by fighter-bombers, medium and heavy bombers, dropping a total of 6,202 tons of bombs on the island.

The film is notable because of how it integrates re-enactments with newsreel footage. Some of the visually interesting moments that it shows (at the 1:30 mark) some of the feeble pre-WWII training of soldiers including the use of "phony" equipment, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor at 2:17, Manila bombed (5:40), POWs (9:36),  idealized images of the United States throughout, with salvage drives, war bond sales, and industry working to save the nation. 

The film is set up to show the chronological effects of the war on a typical American small town. Two years ago they sent off their company of the National Guard, but didn't think they would actually go to battle. They first get sanguine letters home about training and being stationed in the Philippines, without a thought to the possibility of combat. Then the Japanese invade the Philippines. Over winter 1941 and 1942, one by one, many of the parents get telegrams from the government saying that their children have died. People start joining the war effort with bravado, but then slack off, taking days off work and wasting resources, until May 6, 1942, when Corregidor falls, and the rest of the company is taken prisoner by the Japanese.

The town then rallies, and more and more people go to work for war industries, go without luxuries to supply more materiel, and buy bonds. The next time that their company goes of to the front, they will have more planes, more tires, and better equipment, and they won't have to surrender.

Eugene Gladstone O'Neill (October 16, 1888 – November 27, 1953) was an American playwright and Nobel laureate in Literature. His poetically titled plays were among the first to introduce into U.S. drama techniques of realism earlier associated with Russian playwright Anton Chekhov,...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/374974bc-0d0b-4aca-81f8-f3ec6db1c8e2/237770bd-3ecb-4f55-98ff-365c916bcb8f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7PYfDsQiNaw2n7zDTXZmj7</video:player_loc><video:duration>939</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T17:54:40.415Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7G69WirUMZX12pvcn6sJp4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/672b6f85-215a-4d8a-981d-9bcdb549bf1e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s IDAHO NATURAL RESOURCES, MINING &amp; POTATOES DOCUMENTARY FILM  BOISE   62564</video:title><video:description>The color film, Idaho Wild Natural Resources, is from the film library of the Bureau of Mines, of the United States Dept. of the Interior. The bureau was established in 1910 and continued until 1996. It became part of the Dept. of Interior in 1934. This documentary was made in cooperation with Richfield Oil Corporation of California, which was in business from 1905 to 1966. The film shows the Reactor Testing Station which operated from 1949-1975. It also shows fire trucks from the early 1950’s; therefore, this movie was probably made between 1955 and 1966.

Original press release text: Six buildings commissioned by business and government will be shown at the Museum of Modern Art, 11 West 53 Street, from February 26 through May 5 in an exhibition demonstrating the important role a new kind of patronage is playing in the current building program that is changing the face of our country and the face it presents abroad. Actual sections of walls of glazed brick, pierced tile, glass and aluminum, a suspended ceiling of aluminum discs and granite paving have been built in the Museum's galleries to show visitors the fine materials used in these buildings. Large models are accompanied by photographic murals to show the individual character of each building as fully as possible. Selected by Arthur Drexler, Director of the Museum's Department of Architecture and Design, Buildings for Business and Government illustrates a range of contemporary architectural problems and possibilities. The General Motors Technical Center in Detroit, designed by Eero Saarinen and Associates, and the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill are large, complex projects composed of several buildings on three and four hundred acre sites. The Seagram Building at 375 Park Avenue by Mies van der Rone and Philip C. Johnson, and the Chase Manhattan Bank building in the Wall Street area by Skidmore, Owings &amp; Merrill are being built in two of the most famous and crowded areas in the world, where space is the most valuable commodity. The St. Louis Air Terminal by Holimuth, Yamasaki and Leinweber must fit today's needs and yet be easily expanded for tomorrow's traffic and population. The US Embassy in New Delhi by Edward Stone is an example of the excellent work being done abroad by the government where architecture is an important representati...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3d83df07-df4e-4974-ab26-e80dfb888d56/a77a4036-7d4f-471f-86ed-bcf92467171a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8AzrVwSYk7q8WstiATvbaL</video:player_loc><video:duration>796</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T18:04:08.289Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/inQmkJi5Z5p5hMBQJNLqGK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8b5ad288-4a05-4fca-9a77-900050551e8f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>94th AERO SQUADRON   EDDIE RICKENBACKER PROFILE  AMERICA'S #1 WORLD WAR I ACE   61274</video:title><video:description>Dating to the late 1950s, this exceptional profile of Eddie Rickenbacker, America's #1 World War I ace, was made during his lifetime and is narrated and hosted by Arthur Godfrey. "The Immortal Ace" features footage of the Lafayette Escadrille, 94th Aero Squadron, and Capt. Eddie as well as his comrades. At 10:37 the presentation of the Medal of Honor with President Hoover and many members of the 94th is shown. At 12:00, Rickenbacker does a sign off by shaking the hand of a P-80 jet pilot.

Edward Vernon Rickenbacker (October 8, 1890 – July 23, 1973) was an American fighter ace in World War I and Medal of Honor recipient. With 26 aerial victories, he was America's most successful fighter ace in the war. He was also considered to have won the most awards for valor by an American during the war. He was also a race car driver and automotive designer, a government consultant in military matters and a pioneer in air transportation, particularly as the long time head of Eastern Air Lines.

When, in 1917, the United States declared war on Germany, Rickenbacker had enlisted in the United States Army and was soon training in France with some of the first American troops. He arrived in France on June 26, 1917, as a Sergeant First Class.

Most men chosen for pilot training had college degrees and Rickenbacker had to struggle to gain permission to fly because of his perceived lack of academic qualifications. Because of his mechanical abilities, Rickenbacker was assigned as engineering officer at the 3rd Aviation Instruction Center at Issoudun, the US Air Service's pursuit training facility, where he practiced flying during his free time. He learned to fly well, but because his mechanical skills were so highly valued, Rickenbacker's superiors tried to prevent him from attaining his wings with the other pilots.

Rickenbacker demonstrated that he had a qualified replacement, and the military awarded him a place in one of America's air combat units, the 94th Aero Squadron, inform...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8cb7c608-34c0-4027-8a0c-f58c7242191b/4fe939e2-a3b3-48dc-9299-ff186dc6ccd3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/inQmkJi5Z5p5hMBQJNLqGK</video:player_loc><video:duration>876</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T18:06:25.368Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/etPBYKwauHcKWurMRBcxLX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7f68c9d8-26ee-4ed0-bdd6-5e47b5ce1f92.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. SENATE MCCLELLAN COMMITTEE HEARINGS   TEAMSTERS UNION FILM  ROBERT KENNEDY  JIMMY HOFFA  64714</video:title><video:description>Made in the wake of the McClellan Committee hearings, this film by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters / Teamsters Union attempts to defend the organization against charges brought against it by Senate investigators including counsel Robert Kennedy (see 4: The film uses the premise of a presentation at the fictitious National Council for Individual Freedom as a device to present outtakes from the hearings. Some of the people seen on camera include Senator John F. Kennedy, Harold J. Gibbons (5:00), James Hoffa known as Jimmy Hoffa (26:00 minutes), 

The United States Senate Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor and Management (also known as the McClellan Committee) was a select committee created by the United States Senate on January 30, 1957, and dissolved on March 31, 1960. The select committee was directed to study the extent of criminal or other improper practices in the field of labor-management relations or in groups of employees or employers, and to suggest changes in the laws of the United States that would provide protection against such practices or activities. It conducted 253 active investigations, served 8,000 subpoenas for witnesses and documents, held 270 days of hearings, took testimony from 1,526 witnesses (343 of whom invoked the Fifth Amendment), and compiled almost 150,000 pages of testimony. At the peak of its activity in 1958, 104 persons worked for the committee.

The select committee's work led directly to the enactment of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (Public Law 86-257, also known as the Landrum-Griffin Act) on September 14, 1959.

Much of the Permanent Subcommittee's work focused on a scandal which emerged in 1956 in the powerful trade union, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. In the mid-1950s, Midwestern Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa began an effort to unseat Dave Beck, the union's international president. In October 1955, mobster Johnny Dio met with Hoffa in New York City and the two men con...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6d293b3f-3c5d-4479-9cee-ee0bc55899d3/6212cde3-bbc0-4b63-831a-ba316528b9c2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/etPBYKwauHcKWurMRBcxLX</video:player_loc><video:duration>1959</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T18:11:03.476Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/efcGKcSTrWKgAbo72v1et6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/23933307-cbb7-43f8-8d15-8d0d8bb12be4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MEN OF THE COAST GUARD   1939 USCG PROMOTIONAL FILM   23094</video:title><video:description>Made prior to the outbreak of WWII, "Men of the Coast Guard" (1939) presents America's first line of shore defense.  Seen in this film are the Coast Guard cutters, life boats, and light ships that patrol America's home waters.  The film also shows how recruits are drawn from the merchant marine and trained in the arts of lifesaving, seamanship, and navigation.  The full rigged sail ship Joseph Conrad is seen at sea, fulfilling its mission by training cadets about teamwork.  The lightship Scotland (LV87/512) is seen on duty off of Sandy Hook, New Jersey, keeping ships from striking a nearby reef and providing a navigation reference in the fog.  The Coast Guard maintenance shipyard at Curtis Bay, Maryland is also seen, as well as the Hoffman Island facility.

Faneuil Hall (02:02) has hosted many famous orators who proudly proclaimed American ideals. Boston is not only a city full of historic buildings; it is also a busy industrial and commercial city with a massive port. Cape Ann (02:40) and Gloucester are popular coastal locations in Massachusetts; (02:53) Our Lady of Good Voyage (02:53) and the bronze statue of the Gloucester fisherman are typical highlights for any visitor. At the tip of Cape Cod (03:20) is Provincetown, known for its art colony. Nearby is Plymouth Rock (03:49). Massachusetts is known for its high-quality schools: Smith College (04:18) at Northampton is a famous college for women; Amherst (04:32) is the well-known small school for men; Williams College (04:40), MIT (04:53), and Harvard (05:03) are highly respected institutions throughout the world. Agriculture is a major part of Massachusetts’ culture. Specialized farming like shade-grown tobacco (05:29), turkeys, and cranberries are found throughout the state. Massachusetts is primarily a manufacturing state (06:14), producing goods such as paper, boots, and shoes. Lowell is a famous textile city and one of America’s first, but other cities like Fall River and Worcester are also known for textile manufacturing. Worcester (06:46) is Massachusetts’ second largest city and is also famous for its steel wire and cable production. Massachusetts is also famous for tourist attractions that include the Wayside Inn (07:14), the Little Red School House from “Mary Had A Little Lamb,” and the home in Quincy that housed two of America’s presidents.

The film opens with shots of forests (00:55), fitting for a state known as the “Pine Tree State.” Maine is also home to lakes, historic forts, and scenic lighthouses. August (01:26) is the capital and is shaped by the Kennebec River. Lewiston and Auburn are the heart of the state’s industry (01:47), producing boots and shoes among other things. Portland (02:12) is the largest city in Maine and is the birthplace of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Portland’s most important industry is fishing. Brunswick (02:50) is a city of commerce and industry, but it might be best known for education. Brunswick is home to Bowdoin College, which counts Longfellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Franklin Pierce among its alumni. Maine’s third largest city is Bangor (03:19). While not one of the top three largest cities in Maine, Orono is home to the University of Main (03:46); the school is famous for its agricultural college with experimental farms. Agriculture is very important throughout the state. Farmers till their own land and pass farms down from generation to generation. Blue berries (04:22) are an important seasonal crop, but dairy and poultry are the important year-round resources. However, the state’s most important crop is potatoes (04:52), especially in Aroostook County. More potatoes are grown in Maine than in any other state. Chinook puppies (05:15) are a unique breed of dog, as Maine is the only place one can get a Chinook from—in fact, Maine’s Perry Green is the only breeder of the dog. Shipbuilding (05:38) is as old of an industry as it is widespread in Maine, largely because of the state’s coastline and massive timber reserves. The lumber industry (05:50) employs thousands of Maine’s residents.

A corporal talks to soldiers in cavalry uniforms, including jodhpur pants, standing with their horses. A group of experienced cavalry soldiers rides by and are admired (:36-2:18). How to lead a horse using its reins is shown (2:20-3:02), followed by how to properly mount a horse. The instructor uses a pointer to show proper body alignment (3:03-4:58). How to properly dismount is shown (5:14-6:26). A soldier smoothly mounts and dismounts twice so they can watch it from both sides of the horse (6:34-7:27). The soldiers lead their horses into a coral. They turn their horses towards the instructor and stand next to the horse. They prepare to mount. The instructor scrutinizes each one as he gets on his horse (7:42-9:54). A twisted stirrup strap is shown up-close (9:57). The Corporal tells them to prepare to dismount and scrutinizes each one getting off his horse (10:08-10:24). The proper military seat is shown, using a soldier on a horse and the Corporal with his pointer. The four principal elements discussed and pointed at are the rider’s upper body, legs, base support, and balance. This explanation provides close-up views of the uniform (10:46-12:51). The corporal uses two wooden clothespins to explain the hazards of gripping with just the calves (13:02-13:11). The soldier mounts the horse and the Corporal points to the legs and calves in the proper positions. He trots the horse and the position of his legs are discussed (14:39-16:00). The laces on the 1942 uniform boots are shown up-close when he is told to remove the boot from the stirrup and put it back in (16:08-16:40). The Corporal uses a 2x4 to illustrate the mounted position on the g...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f0226564-8d54-4e79-94bf-315a4464c7ea/b8eb5b5f-909e-4d01-8cf1-f17e9a09469d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vDS4WoTZtoqGriUoAPMkJ3</video:player_loc><video:duration>1823</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T18:18:37.607Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6CKhrF1vo7q2CoT3dFRMpM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/032d55ae-5217-47d5-9c51-0d298b178118.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII PARATROOPER &amp; GLIDER ASSAULT IN NORMANDY   D-DAY MINUS ONE  JUNE 5, 1944   81014</video:title><video:description>NOTE: FILM STARTS AT :40 SECONDS.

The U.S. Army Air Forces Special Film Project D-Day Minus One (158A), released in 1945, tells the story of the paratrooper and glider assault—"the opening maneuver of Operation Neptune (the assault operation for Overlord)”—that preceded the all-out invasion of the beaches of Normandy on 6 June 1944. The film is presented by Lt. General Barney M. Giles, Deputy Commander of the Army Air Forces and Chief of The Air Staff (00:40). The film shows Allied troops and LCVPs landing on the beaches (02:10) and Douglas C-47 Skytrains flying overhead (02:25) as part of the invasion before backtracking to tell the story of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions and IX Troop Carrier Command. A village in England houses the paratroopers and is nicknamed “Shantytown” (02:50) because of the immediate transformation of glider cargo boxes into housing for the soldiers once the gliders are removed. Preparations are made for jumping behind Germany’s Atlantic Wall (03:39): steel anti-tank obstacles and iron barriers concrete-fortified anti-aircraft bunker housing a German 380mm gun. Nazis load shells into the antiaircraft gun (03:48). Meanwhile, the U.S. Chiefs of Staff plan the operation to strike at Normandy (04:10). Paratroopers load onto buses (04:31) and drive across England to a sealed airport (05:04), where they kill time by playing games and music, exercising, and caring for their gear as they wait to find out the details of the upcoming operation. Currency viable in France is passed out to soldiers (05:36). General Dwight D. Eisenhower greets paratroopers (06:16), boosting morale. Men of the pathfinder companies (06:43) go in first to plant markers so the rest of the divisions can find their way. Men of the 82nd and 101st march to the C-47s (07:28) where they put on new parachutes (08:00), adorn war paint, and climb into carriers. Once night hits (09:05), the planes carrying the pathfinders take off, signaling the start of the operation.

The film begins with shots of the superjet taking off (00:10), landing, and flying through the air (01:21). Boeing tests the first five 747s off the production line, with several commercial airlines vying to be involved. Pan American Airways (02:17) and Trans World Airways (02:43) win the rights to collaborate. Some of the first tests conducted are wind tunnel testing (02:50), airframe testing (03:22), and wind-load testing (04:10). Boeing and FAA flight crews meet (04:30) to discuss additional upcoming flight tests. Engineers observe data from flight tests in a control room (05:15). A 747 flies with snow-capped mountains in the background (05:59). The next set of tests are high-speed flutter tests (06:30). Boeing engineers are so invested in the 747 project that they with pilots immediately after landing (07:10). Flight tapes’ data from flight tests (07:26) are entered into a computer to review the data and instrumentation. The biggest change in flight testing is the data: the amount of data obtained and how quickly it is processed, made possible with computers (08:12), is far more advanced than in previous years. The 747 is tested in rainy weather (08:35), taking off in adverse conditions. A 747 flies into Roswell, New Mexico (09:04), where people and businesses greet the arrival of the superjet with great fanfare that includes a marching band.

The film was directed by James Beveridge, who also produced and directed a similar NFB documentary, LOOK TO THE NORTH.

In 1943, Alaska and the north Pacific have become a theatre of war as Japanese forces threaten. For over a decade, Japan had begun training for warfare in a subarctic region, (00:03:45:00) and had targeted the Aleutian Islands where they had maintained a foothold. Both Canadian and American forces are assembled to protect and defend the region, in what came to be known as the Aleutian Islands Campaign. Vintage battle footage can be seen at (00:05:10:00).

In 1942, U.S. Army engineers created the Alaska Highway, (00:06:40:00) carved out of the northern bush to bring American troops and supplies northward. Canada's role is to construct airfields (00:07:00:00) alongside the military highway and train troops to fight in the extreme conditions of the region. Out of Canadian ports on the west coast, ship convoys carrying war material supplies (00:07:30:00) the various outposts of the northwest, while patrol bombers and lookouts keep a constant vigil. Vintage footage of bombers is shown at (00:08:35:00). 
The Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands is countered by both a ground and air attack by Allied forces. With the defeat of the Japanese on American territory, Allied strategy moves from defense to taking the fight (00:12:15:00) to the Japanese empire across the Pacific, striking at the heart of Japan.

Typical of the NFB's documentary short films, Pincers on Japan was created as a morale boosting propaganda film during the Second World War. The film relied heavily on newsreel material including "enemy" footage, and combined multiple sources to create a story.

The deep baritone voice of stage actor Lorne Greene was featured in the narration of Pincers on Japan.

Dating to 1937, this short film "Hits, Runs 'N Errors" features the Fordham Baseball team under coach Jack Coffey demonstrating various baseball techniques, equipment, and positions.  This film offers an in-depth and entertaining look at the game of baseball, from college-level training to the excitement of the big leagues. It begins by showing how players prepare behind the scenes, focusing on daily drills, conditioning, and the specialized equipment used by catchers, pitchers, and fielders. The fundamentals of the game are broken down, including the layout of the field, the mechanics of batting and pitching, and the strategy behind plays like bunting and stealing bases. Through detailed explanations and some humor, the video illustrates the precision, timing, and teamwork that baseball demands. It concludes by highlighting the thrill of professional games, the electric atmosphere of Opening Day, and the beauty of the sport’s rhythm and balance—likening it to a well-built machine or a graceful bridge.

(At 1:56 you can clearly see the filament used to suspend the model.) Recognition films of this type were extremely important, as a mis-identified British aircraft could be shot down by trigger-happy anti-aircraft gunners. Since the Blenheim had characteristics similar to the German He-111 bomber, this film was probably standard viewing for all spotters and gun crews. The USA made similar films although they often used animation instead of models, hiring studios like Walt Disney Co. and others to produce them.

The helicopter shown in the film belongs to Los Angeles Airways, and is a Sikorski SK-51. At 1:52, a Western Airlines Convair 240 is shown in service, and landing at LAX World Airport. At 3:11, mail sorting operations are conducted by clerks. At 4:00 the helicopter arrives. At 4:40, you can just barely see LAX's historic Terminal One in the right side of the frame.  

Los Angeles Airways (LAA) was a helicopter airline based in Westchester, Los Angeles, California.  LAA offered services to area airports, as well as Disneyland from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and the heliport at the Newporter Resort, Newport Beach, California, now the Hyatt Regency. LAA had several firsts, including the first regularly scheduled helicopter mail service on October 1, 1947. Service to Ontario and San Bernardino was initiated on December 17, 1953.

In April 1957 they scheduled 17 weekday departures from LAX to 11 heliports from North Hollywood to San Bernardino to Santa Ana to Long Beach; they didn't fly to downtown Los Angeles. The OAG doesn't say what helicopter, but the drawing shows an S-55.

LAA was the first civil operator of the Sikorsky S-61, introducing it on March 1, 1962, purchased at a price of $650,000 each. Los Angeles Airways ceased operations in 1971 after failure to consummate a contract in which it would have been purchased by Golden West Airlines.

The Sikorsky H-5, (initially designated R-5 and also known as S-48, S-51 and by company designation VS-327) was a helicopter built by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation.

It was used by the United States Air Force, and its predecessor, the United States Army Air Forces, as well as the United States Navy and United States Coast Guard (with the designations HO2S and HO3S). It was also used by the United States Post Office Department.

In December 1946, an agreement was signed between the British compa...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/80b2e072-9448-4dcc-bb70-c799e7f8884e/c3240cad-b03f-4a8c-92e5-d9db6f9d2772-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gTKAkMpb29De6G8KaYJYgq</video:player_loc><video:duration>672</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T18:38:40.778Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rcyJzeo5JMVAsEGfJxrgQw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6cb42410-66d7-4d30-a343-09e9094fa267.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"WORLD'S FASTEST GAME" BOSTON BRUINS HOCKEY TEAM 1937 w/ COACH ART ROSS  47344</video:title><video:description>Dates to 1937, this film "World's Fastest Game" features the Boston Bruins and showcases key techniques and fundamentals of ice hockey for aspiring players.

The CL-15  was the first model in a series of firefighting flying boat amphibious aircraft built by these companies and the first amphibian aircraft to be produced in many years. The CL-215 is a twin-engine, high-wing aircraft designed to operate well at low speeds and in high gust-loading environments, as are found over forest fires.

The CL215 is a specialized amphibious aircraft developed by Canadair in the late 20th century to revolutionize forest firefighting. Unlike the slow and ineffective methods of the 1930s, the CL215 can scoop up 1,200 imperial gallons (approximately 6 tons) of water in under 18 seconds while skimming over a lake and drop it over wildfires with remarkable speed and precision. Its twin engines and rugged design allow it to operate in extreme conditions, making multiple drops per flight depending on the fire’s proximity to water sources. Besides firefighting, the CL215 also supports agricultural spraying, search and rescue, coastal patrol, and aerial surveys. The aircraft features gravity-operated release doors for near-instant water drops, and its performance has been validated through rigorous computer modeling and real-world data. Widely adopted by fire control agencies in France and Quebec, the CL215 has proven essential in combating massive fires that damage millions of acres annually in both the U.S. and Canada.

0:00 – In the 1930s, fighting forest fires was slow and largely ineffective, with little hope of extinguishing fires entirely.

1:03 – Modern firefighting dramatically improved with the introduction of the CL215, an aircraft specifically designed for aerial firefighting.

1:10 – The CL215’s major advantage is its ability to scoop up 6 tons of water from a lake in seconds using special probes.

The Wingfoots won 2-0, and the trophy presentation is shown at the 3:24 mark.(N.B. the "Wingfoots" name was later used by a basketball team as well.)

Soccer in Ohio has a glorious past, as documented at this site: http://www.ohiosoccernorth.org/untitled

Cleveland’s first soccer league was organized in 1906 and when the American Amateur Football Association was formed in1912, it became an affiliate. The United States Football Association was formed in 1913 and was admitted into FIFA the same year. The Cleveland League, immediately joined the United States Football Association and was responsible for promoting intercity play and organizing Ohio competitions pursuant to accepted rules and procedures. In January, 1915 the Cleveland League was superseded by the Ohio State Football Association as an affiliate of the United States Football Association. This new organization collected together all the teams and leagues in Ohio and plans were announced to hold a state championship.

By 1930 Cleveland had become one of the strongest soccer centers in the United States and 1931 was the year in which Northeastern Ohio crowned its first National Champion, Goodyear of Akron. The Wingfoots defeated the Black Cats of New Bedford, Massachusetts 2-0 at Seiberling field in Akron in the National Amateur Cup final. A Northeastern Ohio team repeated as National Amateur Cup Champion in 1932 when the Shamrocks of Cleveland defeated Santo Christo of New Bedford Massachusetts 2-1 on May 1 at Slavia field in Cleveland. The accomplishments of Northeastern Ohio’s teams during the Golden Age of Cleveland Soccer would not have been possible without the efforts of dedicated men who gave unselfishly their time during an era when Cleveland was a bustling industrial center. Two of these men were Robert Butland and Willi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e6fb8fdf-df37-49a7-8c24-e83dd7cfb31a/02bbe3a2-a94c-42a9-99ce-71bab139ecd4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uwjrK8BQ7pwaSQiLHnKBV5</video:player_loc><video:duration>249</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T18:50:28.428Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t766SYoFvjAnicKp939cYn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b776276c-365c-4d44-95fd-93b5dcbbcba5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s DRIVER'S EDUCATION FILM   " HAZARDS OF MOUNTAIN DRIVING "   61924</video:title><video:description>This mid-1960s color film about safely driving in mountains is “A Thru The Windshield Film”.

Mark Clark, shows part of the attack on Monte Cassino in February of 1944. Shot from the ground, it shows the effects of Allied bombers on the mountainside and the Abbey itself. The film also shows some limited artillery strikes on the German position at 5:51.

Official news release which accompanied this film stated:"Bombing of the Benedictine Monastery. Formations of American planes bombed the Benedictine Monastery which overlooks Cassino and which as been a most important German observation post. The Allies have endeavored to spare the historic Monastery at the request of the Vatican but its tremendous importance as a German bastion finally forced its destruction. Several waves of planes bombed the Monastery at intervals and artillery blasted the structure between bombings. HE and incendiary bombs were dropped on the Abbey and the mountainside. Between the waves of bombing planes the smoke cleared away from the wrecked building and then further waves came in to complete the destruction. Subject shows the repeated bombings and 240mm Howitzer fire."

The Battle of Monte Cassino (also known as the Battle for Rome and the Battle for Cassino) was a costly series of four assaults by the Allies against the Winter Line in Italy held by Axis forces during the Italian Campaign of World War II. The intention was a breakthrough to Rome.

At the beginning of 1944, the western half of the Winter Line was being anchored by Germans holding the Rapido-Gari, Liri and Garigliano valleys and some of the surrounding peaks and ridges. Together, these features formed the Gustav Line. Monte Cassino, a historic hilltop abbey founded in AD 529 by Benedict of Nursia, dominated the nearby town of Cassino and the entrances to the Liri and Rapido valleys.  Repeated pinpoint artillery attacks on Allied assault troops caused their leaders to conclude the ab...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3bc24a1c-3ade-4b39-9069-13cffd44792e/61744519-15ab-4ada-a2f6-69bd6971d44f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8nZVRstjqB4m8wAXuHpY9o</video:player_loc><video:duration>725</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T18:53:27.083Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/76G8rz5Ga2dau8nrDsYfDx</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f6ba7940-9062-418e-b8f9-cda846ecb021.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"FLAGSHIPS OF THE AIR"  1940s AMERICAN AIRLINES TRANSCONTINENTAL FLIGHT  PROMOTIONAL FILM 23864</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This film by Wilding "Flagships of the Air" (1940s) traces the evolution of American transportation from the early days of walking and canoeing through wilderness, to the covered wagon, the railroad, and finally the advent of modern air travel with American Airlines’ flagships. It highlights how advancements like the railroad’s Golden Spike and early automobiles shrank the continent’s travel time from years to days, and how aviation further revolutionized it, allowing coast-to-coast travel overnight. The film showcases a typical flight by Douglas DC-3 from Chicago to New York, detailing the passenger experience, the aircraft’s features, and the use of radio navigation beams for safe flying. It also explores the convenience and comfort of air travel, from efficient meal service to restful sleeper cabins, while emphasizing the broader social and economic benefits of faster travel—allowing people more leisure time, better business efficiency, and improved family life. Throughout, it portrays air travel as a symbol of modern progress and the American spirit of innovation.

It is “the story of a farm and a family,” which shows how machines increase the power of farming operations, therefore increasing production and revenue. The film opens with shots of fields and farms, including a farm family swimming with ducks (01:10). The film talks about farm families being the roots of our national life and presents viewers with scenes of farming and baling hay. The oil industry is invested in farm families by constantly supporting the development of farming power, developing fuels at refineries (01:51), producing lubricants needed for farm equipment, and developing chemicals for plant fertilizer. A truck hauls fuel to a farm (02:13). The story of the John and Mary’s farm is narrated by their son, Johnny. Johnny recounts the history of his family’s farm by reading passages from his father’s diary. The newly married John and Mary arrive at their farm in horse and buggy (04:06). They work the farm, enduring the hard times, such as buying an overpriced mare (05:55) and losing a crop of hay. Over the years, advances in technology change life on the farm: in 1910, the family gets a telephone (07:57). The labor-intensive tasks of ploughing the land with a horse-drawn wood plough (08:26), feeding chickens, and canning food are improved when then family finally has enough money to purchase a tractor. In 1918, John’s new tractor pays for itself. Using the power from the tractor, John ploughs (10:53), mows, tills the soil, pulls a side-delivery rake (11:26), and runs his feed grinder (11:53). Power increases John’s production and reinforces his belief in the importance of incorporating power and new methods of farming into his work. John meets with a tractor salesman who explains how a new high-pressure power stroke engine delivers more power. A tank wagon driver arrives to deliver oil and gasoline at John’s farm (14:35) and take orders for th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1e36849f-ffdd-4add-bc8f-88a80f452d85/87df58eb-7047-47c2-9ba4-052901e06718-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4JouM4gr8erHLBUndEuVDP</video:player_loc><video:duration>1333</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T19:20:22.409Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mizzx23UWGupRkxPnZ3hY4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/10e6d110-3982-45ee-a594-c6e7898d43e8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ARMY NAVY SCREEN MAGAZINE   UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA   DOODLING  MEN'S FASHIONS 43694b</video:title><video:description>This issue of the Army-Navy Screen Magazine opens with a dramatization of the story of stolen money from the University of Virginia (00:18). $500 is stolen from a dormitory, and Charles Randall is wrongfully accused and expelled. The secretive Seven Society at Virginia, a powerful weapon for good, looks into Charles Randall’s conviction and believe that he is an innocent victim. The Seven investigate another student they believe to be the real thief, which results in that student confessing to the crime. The second feature is on “automatic writing,” or doodling (03:20). Different styles of doodling indicate different personality types, and the film shows which types famous people such as Clark Gable, Myrna Loy, and Robert Taylor, Lana Turner, and Mickey Rooney fall into. The film shows authentic scribbling from George Washington (04:43), Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin D. Roosevelt as well. The final subject of this episode is the history of men’s clothes (05:18). The film explains the stories (real or fabled) behind various styles, such as the splits in the backs of coats (for riding horses), the advent of the lapel, why the lowest button of the vest is left undone, and why there is a row of buttons on jacket sleeves. The section concludes that men who dress the same are easier to control, as it shows footage of men in uniforms marching in time.

The film uses a combination of animation and motion picture footage to show the aircraft's operation, describe its mission, and show its characteristics. Many of the animated segments in films like this were made by the Walt Disney Studios and Warner Brothers Animation.

The Junkers Ju 88 was a German World War II Luftwaffe twin-engined multirole combat aircraft. Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke (JFM) designed the plane in the mid-1930s as a so-called Schnellbomber (fast bomber) that would be too fast for fighters of its era to intercept. It suffered from a number of technical problems during its development and early operational periods but became one of the most versatile combat aircraft of the war. Like a number of other Luftwaffe bombers, it served as a bomber, dive bomber, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, heavy fighter and at the end of the war, as a flying bomb.

Despite protracted development, it became one of the Luftwaffe's most important aircraft. The assembly line ran constantly from 1936 to 1945 and more than 16,000 Ju 88s were built in dozens of variants, more than any other twin-engine German aircraft of the period. Throughout production the basic structure of the aircraft remained unchanged

The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka (from Sturzkampfflugzeug, "dive bomber") is a German dive bomber and ground-attack aircraft. Designed by Hermann Pohlmann, it first flew in 1935. The Ju 87 made its combat debut in 1937 with the Luftwaffe's Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War and served the Axis forces in World War II. The aircraft was easily recognizable by its inverted gull wings and fixed spatted undercarriage. Upon the leading edges of its faired main gear legs were mounted the Jericho-Trompete (Jericho trumpet) wail...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/78b5b873-5112-4a53-94ec-b8a93d28312f/f03b9e0e-4177-41e9-97b5-f71df86bbade-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fUwZTsof8xVbXR5mcKXYoK</video:player_loc><video:duration>566</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T19:23:36.946Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wtMmbUCd1eoFjrHdA3h3ad</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/95fad68c-e030-4436-953c-bb235903f646.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1941 CHRYSLER PLYMOUTH AUTOMOBILE COMPANY CAR DESIGN PROMOTIONAL FILM  "YEARS OF PROGRESS" 51834a</video:title><video:description>This early 1940s black and white film is about the 1941 Chrysler Plymouth.

It is hosted by an expert named Mr. Sax, who stresses five fundamentals of bad typing including "improper carriage return", ergonomic issues with finger strike, and bad posture.  The film appears to feature a 1955 model Smith Corona Office Typewriter, also known as the Model 88, for most of the film and then switches to the new and advanced electric model at about the 14 minute mark.. 

Smith Corona is a US manufacturer of thermal labels, direct thermal labels, and thermal ribbons used in warehouses for primarily barcode labels. Once a large U.S. typewriter and mechanical calculator manufacturer, it expanded aggressively during the 1960s to become a broad-based industrial conglomerate whose products extended to paints, foods, and paper. The mechanical calculator sector was wiped out in the early 1970s by the production of cheap electronic calculators, and the typewriter business collapsed in the mid-1980s due to the introduction of PC-based word processing.

COUNTY PARKS &amp; RECREATION 53714</video:title><video:description>This 1960s color educational film about safely scuba diving is produced by the Los Angeles Department of Parks &amp; Recreation. A Disney animation illustrates the history of creating a diving suit (:45-7:20). Scuba divers swim close to the camera. A woman diver’s face mask strap breaks and she panics. Her diving partner hands it back to her. They swim to the surface to a floating inner tube with a flag attached (7:22-9:25). An inexperienced couple wear advanced diving equipment. He holds up a booklet “How to Dive in Two Easy Lessons.” (9:26-10:00). The Los Angeles County Parks &amp; Rec trains people how to properly skin and scuba dive in one of its swimming pools using certified instructors. One group holds onto the side of the pool getting basic training; another sits in front of a chalkboard and learns about the physiology of diving; and the advanced group learns about scuba gear. Instructor badges are shown up-close. A woman listens wearing a 1960s high-waisted two-piece bathing suit (11:50-13:50). The instructor explains diving diseases (13:52-14:45). The beginner class practices breathing with snorkels (14:50-14:20). The advanced class wears scuba gear. They flip into the water and sit on the bottom of the pool. They practice clearing their masks; exhaling when rising and putting one arm straight up; removing scuba gear and rising without it; and how to buddy breathe. The instructor creates an artificial emergency. Students exit the pool (15:44-18:40). Students travel on a boat named Lou Lou to make their first ocean dive. They suit-up on deck. Close-ups are shown of the diving equipment during safety checks. Each team has a flag and tube buoy that warns boaters that divers are below. They enter the water (18:45-20:23). The scuba divers swim with seals. She cuts a piece of abalone and puts it in a net bag (20:24-21:07). A diver with a harpoon gun shoots and spears a large fish (21:10-21:25). Another diver searches for archeological artifacts (21:26-21:42).

This 1960s instructional film shows how to use an early kind of photocopy machine called a spirit duplicator. The film also shows a photocopy machine (1:20), an offset duplicator (1:25), and a stencil duplicator (1:44). At 1:49 a spirit duplicator is shown. At 2:00 the narrator mentions the name Ditto, as that company was once prominent in the field. The dye transfer process is then explained.  The film explains the use and operation of spirit duplicators—also known as ditto machines—for efficient, low-cost reproduction of written materials, especially in schools and offices. It begins by discussing the need for effective communication tools like posters, agendas, and handouts, then outlines different copying technologies, highlighting spirit duplication for short runs of under 400 copies. The process involves creating a master sheet using special carbon paper and dye, which is then run through the duplicator to transfer the image onto moistened paper. The film details how to prepare, correct, and enhance masters, as well as how to operate and maintain the machine, emphasizing accuracy, alignment, and preservation. It concludes by encouraging users to apply creativity and care, showing that spirit duplicators are accessible tools for clear, effective communication. 

0:26 – The film introduces the challenge of effectively communicating ideas in business and education, requiring posters, announcements, agendas, and duplicated materials.

1:01 – Various machines are introduced to simplify written communication: photocopiers, offset duplicators, stencil duplicators (mographs), and spirit/fluid duplicators.

1:47 – Spirit duplicators (commonly called "dittos") are explained as efficient for producing fewe...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fe3a6204-7f53-4c76-a88d-5b6fd15a4ed4/fde268de-1799-4b08-9eef-22eb9858b174-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xoNB6VQbv8WGNqNWRxZbyU</video:player_loc><video:duration>818</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T19:35:38.979Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mvCMnNrxbSMydcyQrd6RRB</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/685b9153-3406-49af-b90f-e881adc22ba5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>REMEMBER THESE FACES  WORLD WAR II COLOR 7th WAR LOAN FILM  (Print 2) 23934</video:title><video:description>Made in 1945, REMEMBER THESE FACES is a poignant, agonizing tribute to the men who became casualties of World War II.  Produced by the U.S. Navy, Marines and Coast Guard, the film was originally intended to serve as a promotion for the 7th War Bond Drive. Unlike the dozens of idealized, grand propaganda films that preceded it, "Remember These Faces" feels real and authentic. It is graphic, almost hard to take in terms of its content, and at the time reminded the American public that while the Japanese were on the defensive, much more fighting remained. The film today can be readily seen as one of the best, and most memorable tributes to the sacrifices made by American fighting men in the Pacific. Its searing imagery is simply hard to forget. 

The film follows a typical American G.I. landing on an unnamed Pacific island, experiencing the violence of combat, being wounded in action, and arrival at a military hospital.  The film focuses on the faces of the servicemen as they are about to head into battle, as well as when they are wounded, with the narrator reminding the audience that these were the people they were helping by supporting the war effort. These portraits are absolutely authentic, and their visages reveal deep exhaustion and fatigue, leaves little doubt about the stress of war and the deep debt that we as Americans owe to our fighting men and women, for keeping us free.

The camera takes us into cramped spaces as drills make their way through the earth (mark 01:15) and coal hauled away on trolleys called shuttle cars. But the job of a shuttle car operator is one of the most dangerous in the coal mining industry, we’re told at mark 02:10, with one out of every seven transportation injuries involving shuttle car operators. To ensure safety the film discusses the importance of proper car maintenance and proper training of employees. Numerous scenes of shuttle cars in the bowels of the earth follow as the narrator continuously reminds the viewer of the importance of being vigilent and on the lookout for any physical hazards that may impede movement. Starting at mark 04:45 the film reminds of the viewer of those men who “paid with their lives” as crews are shown at work including checking ventilation shafts and removing hazards — though “failure to think about safety” leads to a (staged) fatality at mark 07:55. Other accidents follow, the result of workers too engaged in conversation and oblivious to changes in their underground environment, or those inadequately trained. If an operator is trained and alert, we’re told at mark 15:50, such tragedy can be averted.

First introduced in the 1930s, shuttle cars are batch haulage vehicles in the underground mining industry. Shuttle cars are designed to work as a system with continuous miners, efficiently removing cut material from the working face and maximizing the productivity of the entire section. Heavy-duty, high-power drive trains enable our shuttle cars to haul heavy loads in the most difficult conditions. Traction motors power the permanent four-wheel drive system. The cast pivot axles are virtually indestructible, while the heavy-duty conveyors and abrasion-resistant conveyor decking improve reliability and durability.

At 1:08, Hollywood Blvd. is illuminated for two miles through the heart of Hollywood, with airplane cut-outs decorating the overhead electric trolley lines. At 2:36, star Jean Harlow is shown at the premiere. 

Hell's Angels is a 1930 pre-Code independently made American epic aviation war film, directed and produced by Howard Hughes, that stars Ben Lyon, James Hall, and Jean Harlow. The film, which was written by Harry Behn and Howard Estabrook, was released by United Artists. Originally shot as a silent film, Hughes retooled Hell's Angels over a lengthy gestation period. Most of the film is in black-and-white, but there is one color sequence, the only color footage of Harlow's career.

Controversy during the Hell's Angels production contributed to the film's notoriety, including the accidental deaths of several pilots, an inflated budget, a lawsuit against a competitor (The Dawn Patrol), and repeated postponements of the release date. Hell's Angels was one of the highest-grossing films of the early sound era, but despite this it still failed to recover its exorbitant production costs. It is now hailed as one of the screen's first sound action films.

The film provides a comprehensive overview of the Mississippi River, emphasizing its vast geographic reach, economic importance, and the extensive flood control efforts undertaken to manage its power. The river drains 31 states and two Canadian provinces, serving as a critical transportation route for goods and linking inland America to international ports. Historically prone to catastrophic flooding—most notably in 1927—the Mississippi prompted the U.S. Congress to pass the Flood Control Act of 1928, empowering the Army Corps of Engineers to design a comprehensive flood management system. This system includes thousands of miles of levees, dams, floodways, and revetments. Engineers use advanced techniques such as dredging, soil analysis, cut-offs, and concrete mattress installations to control the river’s flow and protect communities, farmland, and infrastructure. These efforts have transformed the river from a destructive force into a vital economic artery, fostering growth, safety, and prosperity throughout the valley.

This tourist attraction opened in 1939 when animal trainer and circus manager Clyde Beatty bought out the McKillop-Hutton Lion Farm, which had opened in 1936 in a former rock quarry and served as a breeding farm for zoos and circuses rather than as a public tourist attraction. It was located in Fort Lauderdale at Northeast 10th Street near Federal Highway. Beatty turned it into a winter home for his circus and a tourist attraction, Clyde Beatty's Jungle Zoo, and opened in December of 1939. Beatty's zoo operated until 1945, a victim of tightening zoning regulations brought on by complaints from the neighbors as city development began to overtake the site. Beatty took the show back on the road.

Clyde Beatty (June 10, 1903 – July 19, 1965) joined the circus as a cage cleaner as a teen and became famous as a lion tamer and animal trainer. He also became a circus impresario who owned his own show, which later merged with the Cole Bros. Circus to form the Clyde Beatty–Cole Bros. Circus.

Scenes include trained elephants performing in front of a packed crowd (1:00) -- the female performer is likely Beatty's wife Harriet Evans who worked as an aerliest -- scenes of baby and young lions in training (2:00), as well as a full on big cat show in a cage. At 2:23 a Bengal tiger is shown, one of many at the zoo. At 2:36 Clyde Beatty is seen walking into the cage with a chair and a revolver, and a whip. At 5:30, a famous trick with a Bengal tiger is shown, with the cat rolling over and growling -- a trick that took 3 years for Beatty to master. The show ends with lions and tigers "striking a pose". 

Beatty was very famous for his "fighting act" as shown in the film, in which he entered a cage with wild animals with a whip and a pistol strapped to his side. The act was designed to showcase his courage and mastery of wild beasts, inc...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9081af15-6d95-4e38-9e52-8f5e990d0c1f/c60e10a4-aa12-4919-a84e-b45e5a2442c5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iQYbM6pZixLvJNLyRvXxTM</video:player_loc><video:duration>581</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T20:19:04.977Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4XfdEfj3YcAFNZsfo2Fe3t</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7dd7db8a-42a2-4c39-91d9-3094ca7ad6b7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PORSCHE 911 TARGA PROMOTIONAL FILM  "ONE FOR THE ROAD"  50744</video:title><video:description>This 1970s color film advertising Porsche 911 Targa cars is produced by Konstantin Kalser, a Marathon International Production, and narrated by Sidney Paul.

The film (from 1969 or the early 1970s) features over 15 minutes of footage of the JD 860 Scraper at work. The film opens with a pristine JD 860 (00:44) before cutting to the JD 860 in action (01:15). The elevating scrapper with its 215-net flywheel horsepower diesel engine has a 37,500-cubic foot capacity, maximizing time on the job. The film reviews a number of features designed to contribute to the scraper’s performance and high output. The controls (02:20), gauges, and fuses are placed for ease of access. The bottom panel drops down to form a step (03:08), while the top panel opens upward to reveal part of the engine and the dip stick. The all-hydraulic elevated scrapper is designed to move material at a lower cost than other scrapers. It is self-loading, so no pusher is needed. It can make tight turns with its articulated steering and is equipped with position-responsive steering with hydraulic follow-up. Every major component of the JD 860 is tested under simulated working conditions at the John Deere research facility (06:14). Indoor tests include testing draft and engine frame (06:35) and steering components. More tests are conducted in the field (06:59), including rolling the JD 860 over an embankment to test cab strength. Prototypes are then put to work (07:21) loading, hauling, and dumping earth. The scrappers are run through extensive timing and weighing tests to ensure they are as efficient as possible. There is a shot of a semi-truck hauling a JD 860 (08:48) on a major highway. The JD 860 is great for a variety of jobs, including trench-type sanitary landfill work (08:56) and major highway construction (09:13). The JD 860 is also designed with the comfort of the operator in mind, as the seat is foam-padded, suspended on cushion of air, and positioned so the operator can easily watch the cutting...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dd2b7212-6b0a-4fae-bc4a-1531ed73d061/ac383a43-f38b-4759-9acb-942c985568df-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tj38EaNcqkiFaVQKz4jetg</video:player_loc><video:duration>965</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T20:22:51.885Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iNoHcFMiiEtZtXxbbGHrrU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4cf7d93a-f47e-4559-b365-b3287f433c2f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1969 PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON REVIEWS ATLANTIC FLEET  "A DAY TO BE PROUD"  81304</video:title><video:description>Made during the Nixon Administration, this film shows the review of the U.S. Navy and the Atlantic Fleet by President Richard M. Nixon. The film begins with images of the President awarding the Congressional Medal of Honor in a ceremony at the White House in Washington, D.C. The date was May 17, 1969 and the event was Armed Forces Day. The recipients of the Medal of Honor were CWO Frederick E. Ferguson and Sp4c. Thomas J. Kinsman. Nixon states that, "This is Armed Forces Day, and all over America today Americans will be reminded of what we owe to the young men who serve in the Armed Forces of the United States...These two men symbolize that service because they have rendered service in the highest tradition, far beyond the call of duty...and for reminding us of the fact that we sometimes forget--that Americans in this century have had to go into war not because we wanted war, but because we wanted peace. We have had to go into war not because we wanted conquest but because we didn't want it; because we wanted every nation in this world to be and to have the right to choose its own way without conquest and without aggression. What a great goal you have fought for. What a great example you have set for us. You have made us proud to be Americans, proud of our flag, and, of course, proud of you."

At 3:40, the aircraft carrier Saratoga is seen off the East Coast of the USA near Norfolk, preparing for a visit by the POTUS. At 5:55, Marine One lands and the President disembarks while a 21-gun salute is made. Nixon, 37th President, formerly served in the Navy. At 7:15, aircraft are launched from Saratoga while Nixon watches from the bridge. At 8:15, a drone target is shot down by a Talos missile. At 8:54, a SUBROC is launched by a Permit class submarine, USS Haddo. At 9:50 an F-4 Phantom and an F-111 show off bomb delivery and make a close fly-by while Nixon observes. K-A3 tankers are shown making a refueling while A-6 aircraft make a simulated dive bomb attack.

It is presented by the Department of Transportation and the U.S. Coast Guard. An Experimental Bell SK-5 Coast Guard air cushion vehicle hovercraft glides on top of the waves. It moves up onto the land. Others are briefly shown (:32-1:54). In 1969, the Coast Guard Station in St. Petersburg evaluated one for use. The back rudders, propeller, and hull are shown. The propellers are turned on and the craft lifts up from the ramp before entering the water at Tampa Bay (1:55-2:53). It is shown crossing the beach and back into the water, as well as in the marshlands (2:54-3:26). Fort Point Coast Guard Station in San Francisco is shown from overhead and its sign, where the ACV was also researched. The spinning propellers are shown (3:27-3:52). An ACV is guided into the water on search-and-rescue missions. A man stands holding a red smoke flair on the deck of his boat. The Coast Guard ACV arrives, tosses the man a line, and tows the boat in. A downed pilot holds red smoke flares while treading water and is rescued (3:53-5:35). The ACV ferries repair personnel to service a buoy, which it can pull directly next to (5:42-6:29). The driver’s feet are shown operating directional controls (6:32). An ACV carries bales of straw to a beach area threatened by an oil spill. A woman carries a shovel of straw into the water (6:35-6:42). The ACV pilot wears a helmet. He presses buttons and turns on switches (6:44-7:03). During frigid conditions, an ACV leaves a hangar in Point Barrow, Alaska in 1970. It is shown zipping across the ice, stops, spins, and moves on (7:05-8:06). An ACV is shown moving through waves, with spray flying around it (8:07-8:27).   

This film and the ACV was an outgrowth of 1960s interest within the Coast Guard as to the feasibility of obtaining Air Cushion Vehicles (ACVs) to support a variety of Coast Guard missions.

Fundamental Fixed Gunnery Approaches primarily uses graphics and models to demonstrate the various approaches for fixed gunnery, though it does include some actual video footage of planes flying the maneuvers (13:08; 14:58; 24:18; 26:10; 30:37). An instructor discusses flying approaches (00:50) and how it is easy after hours and hours of training to successfully make those approaches. The same is true with fixed gunner approaches: pilots must practice constantly to become effective. The instructor discusses fixed gunnery approaches on an enemy bomber and covers four fundamental approaches: side approach, overhead approach, head-on approach, and stern approach. Graphics or animations are used to show proper timing of the approaches in order to arrive at the correct angle and distance required. First, the instructor reviews the side approach (03:40), covering protocol for a high (06:08), flat (09:50), and low (10:30) side approach. Graphics are also used to show how to run an overhead approach (14:07) and how to account for speed and altitude. The most common error with this approach is swinging too wide and passing through the vertical plane (footage from the gunner’s cockpit at 18:00 enhances this section). The head on approach (19:08) is rarely used by fixed gunners because time is so short; however, there are cases where this may be the only approach possible and should be part of a pilot’s skillset. The stern approach (21:08) is the simplest of all fixed gunner approaches, and it is typically only used against enemy fighter planes. The film concludes with footage of planes flying in formation (30:54). 

 Films like this one were a staple of the fighter pilot training schools, and did a great deal to improve the effectiveness of classroom lectures.  Other films...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6bc645aa-eb51-40f6-8196-58b802966651/b9efedfc-1b2a-4570-8ac7-d6a1e616dd3b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eiTDes1TCFYkq5eicWMXDK</video:player_loc><video:duration>1893</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T20:33:08.437Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gnwGWyUsS74usTTq3rfvhQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d4796771-17a2-4a54-ba5d-480c7db06f85.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CORP.   PUNCH CARD COMPUTERS &amp; FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT FILM 62854</video:title><video:description>Originally created by National Educational Television in the early 1960s or late 1950s, this episode of "The American Business System" takes a look at the flow of cash in the business system and financial management. At the same time the film provides fascinating insights into the history of the NCR Corporation and shows some of its factory in Dayton, Ohio in the late 1950s.

The film is hosted by Jack Winn and shot in Dayton, Ohio, home to the National Cash Register company at that time. NCR products are seen throughout the film including a register at :26.  As an example business the film shows a restaurant called Der Golden Schwan, owned by the Suttmiller family (4:20). At 4:29 some of the stock of meat at the company is shown and at 4:42, the kitchen. At 7:36 the African-American and white kitchen staff is seen hard at work. At 8:00 the National Cash Register Company's headquarters is seen, with rare footage of the manufacture of adding machines and computers.  CEO Stanley Lang is seen at 8:49. At 9:27, a punch card sorter is shown, part of an NCR computer system equipped with magnetic ink readers. At 10:00, early data processing computers are shown, and at 10:10 fantastic images of punch cards being sorted and read. At 10:50, a woman is shown wiring an early NCR computer. At 13:18, a tape based computer is shown being loaded. At 13:25 an early mainframe computer is shown in operation.

The movie was originally produced by a tour company to encourage travel to the Far East aboard British based ocean liners. 

The film starts in Penang, a state in northwest Malaysia comprising mainland Seberang Perai and Penang Island. At :39 what appear to be tents for cultivation are seen, and at :38 what might be a plantation house. At :59 a child is bathed and at 1:05 washing is conducted in a river. At 1:18 a sugar plantation is shown. At 3:42 the film moves to Java, where the Buitenzorg gardens are seen, aka Bogor Botanical Gardens. This is a botanical garden located in Bogor, Indonesia, 60 km south of Jakarta. The Gardens are located in the city center and adjoin the presidential palace compound of Istana Bogor. At 5:30 the film moves on to Peking, where the imposing Summer Palace is shown. The Summer Palace is a vast ensemble of lakes, gardens and palaces in Beijing, China. It was an imperial garden in Qing Dynasty. Mainly dominated by Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, it covers an expanse of 2.9 square kilometres (1.1 sq mi), three-quarters of which is water.

Longevity Hill is about 60 metres (200 feet) high and has many buildings positioned in sequence. The front hill is rich with splendid halls and pavilions, while the back hill, in sharp contrast, is quiet with natural beauty. The central Kunming Lake, covering 2.2 square kilometres (540 acres), was entirely man-made and the excavated soil was used to build Longevity Hill.

By 9:30, the film has moved to India and Humayun’s Tomb – The Mini Taj Mahal located in Delhi, India. This is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun commissioned by Humayun's first wife and chief consort, Empress Bega Begum (also known as Haji Begum), in 1569-70, and designed by Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, a Persian architect.

Hunter and presented by the Union Pacific Railroad, the 1940s short film Potatoes Unlimited provides viewers with a glimpse of the potato industry, from creating potato seed to the transportation to grocery stores via Union Pacific lines. The film begins with several shots of mountain ranges and potato fields, including the area of Idaho just west of the Tetons (01:45). Soil is prepared with tractors, ploughs, and harrows (02:28), and sometimes horse-drawn equipment, so that the potatoes will have the nutrients they need once planted. Potato seed production is crucial in the battle to produce disease-free potatoes (04:22) and maximize yields. Once seeds have been cut and indexed, they are planted using a planting board (05:39) in square plots, allowing farmers to identify which ones are healthy or not, so that farmers can eliminate the unhealthy seeds from their potato cellars. Healthy potato seeds are boxed, shipped, and planted. Planting equipment includes tractor-drawn assisted feed planters (08:21; 09:08), high-speed picker/planters (15:53), and rotary-disc seed cutters (14:16) used by small growers. As the potatoes grow, people inspect the fields and remove any diseased plants (09:49) so the crop will pass state inspection. The film discusses the different viruses that affect potato crops (10:56), including mosaic, black leg, and spindle tuber. Laboratory tests (13:05) are used to determine potential cases of ring rot in crops as well. Irrigation (17:18) is crucial for growth of the entire plant, and controlled flow is the best practice. Cultivating (18:58) helps with irrigation and provides ridges for shade. Where dry farming is required, cultivators equipped with duck feet (19:17) ensure better absorption of moisture. Potato farmers spray for bugs, using a liquid sprayer (19:30) or by crop dusting (19:45). Harvest time (20:13) requires long hours in the field. Various diggers (20:18), including high-speed two-row diggers (22:32), sin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e37bd0ed-4947-4e34-a1cc-cffa2eb18730/7f7207e0-fc63-4f92-9585-6bbc25345c79-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/u6fXf8zCW2keUWRRcbH2MS</video:player_loc><video:duration>1908</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T20:48:51.894Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8HQidsu6TffXd911YYHeix</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c8e3730a-ee97-4548-a5eb-ab9392859304.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1945 COMBAT BULLETIN #47  TASK FORCE 58    INDIA-BURMA  M-26 TANK   25964</video:title><video:description>Combat Bulletin 47, produced by the Signal Corps’ Army Pictorial Service in 1945 provides viewers with updates on the war. The film begins with the Tokyo strikes in February 1945, showing Task Force 58 heading to Japan (01:18), despite adverse weather conditions. Planes take off and fly past Mt. Fuji (01:54) on their way to strafe Japanese ships and attack Japan’s aircraft factories (02:40). The U.S. attack devastates some of Japan’s most important engine and assembly plants (03:18). The next segment shows U.S. forces swarming over Iwo Jima (04:15), marching Japanese prisoners to the stockade (04:50) and destroying Japanese gun nests. A B-29 makes an emergency landing (05:50). In “Clean-Up On Corregidor,” U.S. troops are shown attacking Japanese positions. Troops of the 3rd Battalion march past destruction (07:27) on their way to replace troops from the 1st Battalion. Patrols move along the beach at Rock Point (07:50), and General Douglas MacArthur (08:26) arrives for the flag-raising ceremony. In China, U.S. forces overcome supply problems with the help of Chinese men who walk along a river pulling supply boats upriver (09:51). Hand-drawn carts and mule-cart trains are used to transport fuel barrels. An American convoy is ferried across the Luo River (11:22), demonstrating the difficulty of penetrating the interior of China. In India-Burma, U.S. troops build temporary shelters known as bashas (12:25) and use bamboo to construct beds, showers, tables, and chairs. In the U.S., the military tests the new T-26 heavy tank (13:48), which features a new engine, track, and a 90mm gun. General Hodges and his staff inspect the delivery of a T-26 E3 on the front lines of the Rhine. The final clips show viewers the U.S. offensive to take the Rhine. The 3rd Army marches (16:03) to the Rhine; the offensive begins in late February and is designed to collapse German control of the region. Nazi prisoners (17:00) seek cover from German fire. The 1st Army (17:28) moves to Cologne,...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3e873aa9-dc76-4426-a462-5e768a1c81b5/cc868977-b95a-4616-bee8-b37fe96a62a3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8HQidsu6TffXd911YYHeix</video:player_loc><video:duration>1594</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T20:49:38.532Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8DQpeZfJUR7KfikA8wuPQT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a81f3c1f-2429-4eb1-b777-97f2ddc8b23a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s U.S. NAVY CHUTING STARS  PARACHUTE DEMONSTRATION TEAM  LEAP FROGS 81544</video:title><video:description>Narrated by actor Glen Ford, this circa 1963 film "CHUTING STARS" shows the U.S. Navy's parachute demonstration team. Some of the film takes place at the Chuting Stars' headquarters at Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida. You'll see the team packing their chutes and run through their ground training at Forest Sherman Field. The team's specialized chutes are discussed, as well as various training exercises. The film also covers the team's March through November performance schedule at various air shows around the country. Includes numerous jumps.

The background on this film is this: In 1961, the U.S. Navy Parachute Exhibition Team, “Chuting Stars” was formed to help celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Naval Aviation. The Parachutists assigned to the original team were selected from the Navy Test Parachute Unit, NAF, El Centro, CA. Their success led to permanent status and a move to NAS, Pensacola for the 1962 to 1964 air show seasons. The team was also expanded and included personnel from other ratings. However, midway through the 1964 season, the “Chuting Stars” became the victim of budget cuts and their operation was discontinued.

Two years later, the Chief of Naval Operations authorized a Navy Parachute Team to be based at NATTC, Lakehurst, NJ. A full schedule of demonstration and competition parachuting events were maintained into 1969, when authorization was granted to reactivate the “Chuting Stars” designation as the official U.S. Navy Parachute Team. In 1971, following a successful season, the same fate of budget cuts that discontinued the previous “Chuting Stars” grounded the current team for the final time.

Today the U.S. Navy's "Chuting Stars" are known as the "Leap Frogs" and normally represent the SEALs at airshows.

The film begins with shots of several famous hotels (00:28), including Hotel America, Hotel Astor, Hollywood Hotel, Mayflower Hotel, and the Wellington Hotel. When a guest arrives at a hotel’s busting lobby (00:50), they have little understanding of the work it takes to run such an establishment. In fact, running a major hotel is comparable to being mayor of a small city. The Hotel Resident and management (01:10) are constantly looking for ways to improve the vast services offered by the hotel. One major aspect of running a hotel are overseeing electric power (01:27), which provides power for lights, refrigeration, and ice production (01:45). Another is the procurement and preparation of millions of pounds of food (02:04). High-end hotel kitchens employ specialty cooks (02:25) who not only prepare meals but also design new foods to stay competitive in the culinary field. Chefs prepare pastries, ice cream, and much more—all of which is routed through the serving kitchen (03:27) on the way to awaiting guests. Giant dishwashers (03:34) sterilize the steady return of dishes and silverware. Naturally, cleanliness is of the most importance in the hotel industry, and some first-class hotels use the latest technology—like an ultraviolet ray sterilizer (03:58)—to kill germs and keep their facilities clean. Laundry is another massive undertaking (04:15) in the operation of a hotel, with major hotels employing up to 150 to deal with washing and mending the linen. The scale required for furnishing hotel rooms result in many hotels building their own furniture; in one case, a hotel employs a team of six men to build the required furniture (05:02). Other significant areas in operating a large hotel are key production, security, and lost and found (05:45). The lengths hotels go to take care of the health and wellbeing of their guests can be astonishing: some hotels go as far as t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8ad2bb28-015a-475b-8b52-851b11befd40/856d88b4-9197-46c1-baf6-d8275e122d0c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/i9ghUu5nLroeQJpjMKLnTf</video:player_loc><video:duration>501</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T20:55:51.087Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fViC9A2QQ18V6t4HQzUAPR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b367b15a-5ffe-4b9b-8845-cb142840a1eb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LB LITTLEFORD ROAD PAVING EQUIPMENT 1946   SILENT PROMOTIONAL FILM 52524</video:title><video:description>LB Littleford, the sign of modern engineered black-top road maintenance and construction equipment, presents A Modern Mixed-In-Place Resurfacing Job. This silent film, which probably dates to 1946 or thereabouts, shows how Littleford equipment makes completing road resurfacing jobs faster and, therefore, cheaper. A Littleford Model 115 “Tankar” Steam Heater heats a tank car of bituminous material (01:22), and then a Littleford CLRC “Spray Master” Pressure Distributor, frameless constructed, semi-trailer, pumps the material from the Tank Car” (02:30). The Littleford “Spray Master” applies a tack coat on the old road surface (04:00), then a heavy layer of aggregate (gravel) is applied (05:45). Next, a Littleford Model 108 Engine Driven Road Broom is used to sweep the original surface free of dirt and dust (06:52), then the “Spray master” applies heavy chips (07:48) along road. A Grader mixes chips and asphalt as it goes until the aggregate is thoroughly coated (09:44), then strikes off the coated chips (11:12). After that, a roller compacts the mix to create a smooth road surface (13:06). A car drives down the smooth, high-quality finished product (14:35).

The Japanese attacked Manila and the Philippines on December 7, 1941, and caught one of America's great generals, Douglas MacArthur relatively unprepared.  The loss of the American air forces on the ground in the initial attacks, forced the Army to make a quick retreat to the Bataan peninsula and the fortress of Corregidor.  This film shows the early stage of the battle, and was made shortly after MacArthur fled the Phillipines for Australia where he would go on to command Allied forces.  The second half of the film profiles this American Caesar, and includes rare footage of MacArthur being decorated by General Pershing in 1918, and serving as the youngest Chief of Staff in 1930.  It also shows him at West Point, and reviewing forces in Germany.  The film's stirring portrait underscores the fact that one of MacArthur's greatest assets beyond military prowess -- was his media savvy.

It is about the land speed records set in 1964 in Utah is presented by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company and Shell as “A Spotlite News Program.” It opens October 5, 1964 at the Bonneville Salt Flats. The Wingfoot Express, Tom Green its driver, is shown going 413.20 mph. Two days later, Art Arfons tops that at 434.02 mph in the Green Monster. The parachute deploys behind the speed record words (:09-:42). September 5, 1963, the Spirit of America is pulled onto the flats. A Shell truck fuels it. Craig Breedlove is shown seated wearing his helmet and mask. The roof is placed over him and the vehicle panned. (:43-1:50). A group of men perform maintenance on various parts of the vehicle (1:51-2:25). The jet engine is seen up close, fired, and the vehicle takes off, kicking a layer of salt at the camera. Multiple angles are shown before the parachute is deployed. Breedlove is congratulated and lifted into the air (2:26-3:42). A blade scrapes the salt bed. Breedlove squats and feels the ground (3:43-4:04). Breedlove, in the vehicle, talks to a man whose jacket back says “Craig Breedlove Spirt of America 428.37 MPH World Record Holder”. The mask is hooked and roof secured. Multiple race angles are shown, including from Breedlove’s perspective and a side-mounted camera. The parachute is shown dragging behind. Craig gets out (4:05-6:30). The vehicle is moved into position on October 15, 1964. His shoes are wiped off before getting in the cockpit. The vehicle takes off and is shown from multiple angles, including Breedlove’s and a mounted side camera. A line indicates the vehicle’s desired path. The record-breaking speed of 525.277 mph is shown. The aftermath wreckage is also shown. Failed parachute brakes caused a five-mile skid (Guinness Book of World Records for longest skid marks), after which the vehicle crashed through telephone poles and ended up in a brine pond with just the rear visible.

It advised students on what to do in the event of a nuclear explosion.

The film was funded by the US Federal Civil Defense Administration and released in January 1952. At the time, the Soviet Union was engaged in nuclear testing and the US was in the midst of the Korean War.

The film was written by Raymond J. Mauer, directed by Anthony Rizzo of Archer Productions, narrated by actor Robert Middleton, and made with the help of schoolchildren from New York City and Astoria, New York.

The film starts with an animated sequence, showing an anthropomorphic turtle walking down a road, while picking up a flower and smelling it. A chorus sings the Duck and Cover theme:

There was a turtle by the name of Bert
and Bert the turtle was very alert;
when danger threatened him he never got hurt
he knew just what to do...
He'd duck! [gasp]
And cover!
Duck! [gasp]
And cover! (male) He did what we all must learn to do
(male) You (female) And you (male) And you (deeper male) And you!'
[bang, gasp] Duck, and cover!'

Under the theme, Bert is shown being attacked by a monkey holding a lit firecracker or stick of dynamite on the end of a string. Bert ducks into his shell in the nick of time, as the charge goes off and destroys both the monkey and the tree in which he is sitting. Bert, however, is shown perfectly safe, because he ducked and covered.

The film then switches to live footage, as narrator Middleton explains what children should do "when you see the flash" of an atomic bomb. The movie goes on to suggest that by ducking down low in the event of a nuclear explosion,(crawling under desks and covering their necks with clasped hands) the children would be safer than they would be standing, and explains some basic survival tactics for nuclear war (facing any wall that might lend protection).

The last scene of the film returns to animation in which Ber...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8bf1022f-d78f-43b6-acf9-2be87336ac8f/98bf50c3-2eb9-4741-96ab-3632bd296a3a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ihgPH7tL1UqhPwNvxBYWMV</video:player_loc><video:duration>567</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T21:11:40.028Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8WhuAzFwaobhykWYu7pDXg</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/47f7b002-dc2e-4019-8a2e-bdbc9c8d97a8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY  BASIC MECHANISMS OF FIRE CONTROL COMPUTERS  MECHANICAL COMPUTER INSTRUCTIONAL FILM  27794</video:title><video:description>The 1953 U.S. Navy training film (MN-6783a) Basic Mechanisms In Fire Control Computers, Part 1: Shafts, Gears, Cams and Differentials discusses some of the mechanisms that are required for the Fire Control Computer to function. The film opens with a Navy crew surrounding a Fire Control Computer (00:48), which solves fire control problems—including the ship’s location, direction, speed, and the enemy ship’s location, direction, and speed—in a matter of seconds so that the ship’s guns may fire accurately and effectively. Though the computer processes the information in seconds, it cannot do its job without the work of Navy men. Men operate the director (01:34), which provides target range and bearing information that is then entered into the computer (01:38). Part 1 of the film uses graphics to show the mechanical operations of shafts, gears, cams, and differentials, all vital mechanisms inside the computer (02:20). Shafts are used to carry values throughout the computer, where a revolution of a shaft corresponds to a numerical value (03:00). Gears are used to transfer values from one shaft to another (04:30); different sizes in gears can change the value of the ratio of shafts for more complex computations. Cams (04:55) are used as computing mechanisms in the computer. They have a working surface and a follower (05:25; 07:25). The film reviews the function of cams and the different types, including a reciprocal cam, square cam, tangent cam, time of flight cam, and barrel cam (10:36). The latter is used to calculate trajectory for firing guns. Differentials (12:50) are the final mechanisms covered in Part 1. They are used in computers to continuously obtain the algebraic sum of two quantities, keeping up with the rapid changes of inputs of two quantities. A bevel gear differential (13:23) is commonly used in Fire Control Computers. The film discusses how this differential functions with its spider gears, spider shaft, and end gears. Simplifying the concept of a bev...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/40444c63-ac33-4d40-8cad-8b0dc8ebb031/def9d031-40a7-4fc0-bb0a-3d237a4dde2b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8WhuAzFwaobhykWYu7pDXg</video:player_loc><video:duration>1182</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>43</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T21:15:18.677Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/acixA1CDMo4QUrx9MDXXCm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/47aa9861-0cec-4aa1-9b0c-a1ac3167b7d0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s TOUR OF LONDON, ENGLAND  "THIS WORLD OF OURS" TRAVELOGUE  62644</video:title><video:description>This black and white travelogue, This World of Ours London, was produced by Carl Dudley, an American film director and producer, for the Dudley Pictures Corporation that he founded in 1944.

The episode opens with shots of artillery guns firing (00:20) and Sikorksy H-19 Chickasaw helicopters landing. Sergeant Stuart Queen (00:58) addresses viewers from his office, introducing the episode on American field artillery. Artillery fires at night. U.S. troops and tanks move across various terrains. A communications network passes along a platoon’s request for artillery support (02:29). The history of American artillery dates back to the Revolutionary War. An image of a cannon from 1776 (03:05) shows the first American artillery; the episode then features a reenactment of the Battle of Bunker Hill (03:27). Images of Civil War-era artillery (03:55) show the next phase in the heavy guns, and another reenactment—this time of Gettysburg—wraps up the 19th century. The episode presents various shots of World War I artillery (04:30). Allied commanders call to field support, ordering artillery attacks. There are scenes of trench warfare and the problems facing moving artillery. Tractors and horses move heavy guns (05:47) before giving way to large trucks (06:37). But transport is still difficult because of the huge proportions of heavy artillery guns. On 1 November 1918, Allied soldiers rush across no-man’s land (07:11) as part of the Meuse-Argonne offensive, aided by artillery. There are more shots of various artillery guns, including a 16mm gun. The destruction from artillery is devastating: fields and towns are left in ruin (07:58). Artillery fire caused most of the casualties in WWI (about 70%, according to the film). U.S. soldiers return from Europe (08:58) to parades. Peacetime doesn’t last long as Adolf Hitler (09:22) and the Nazis threaten Europe. President Franklin D.

Because the existing roads were not originally engineered for safety or the number of cars using them, President Dwight D. Eisenhower (shown at mark 02:05) signed the National Interstate and Defense Highways Act in June 1956, when signed the bill into law. It authorized $25 billion for the construction of 41,000 miles of an Interstate Highway System and was the largest public works project in American history at the time. As a result, the Interstate Highway System was soon developed and Federal Highway Administrator Bertrum D. Tallamy explains, starting at mark 02:53, how the proposed system will work. (Began in 1956, the system had a total length of 47,856 miles as of 2013). 

Presented as part of a “town meeting” skit beginning at mark 05:15, the film launches into a detailed explanation of what would officially be known as the “Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways.” He notes that “it will be possible to drive from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and from Canada to Mexico on safe, multi-lane, divided highways without a single stoplight or stop sign” and is designed “for the traffic of the future.” Although residents in some smaller town feared that highways would divert traffic from their roads and cause them to become ghost towns, the narrator says those are “dark suspicions.” At mark 10:30, the film delves into the large amount of planning and engineering involved in mapping out the highway system, with “electronic brains” doing much of the work. Revisiting the concern that a highway system would take business away from “mom and pop establishments,” the film claims near mark 16:08 that a highway system would result in an increase i...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/db170a11-b497-42de-93e9-07708c934fcd/8c9e4489-8bed-4f61-a04b-953f1dfa2039-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/t49dBBgnLQUG34FeMtbGZB</video:player_loc><video:duration>1881</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T21:26:26.127Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1s1bXE5RmTXStSaSgN1Bm1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c3389bad-46f1-47f5-8ce7-5740a4a24c37.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. ARMY "THE BIG PICTURE" TV SHOW Episode PRELUDE TO TAPS B&amp;W VERSION 53404</video:title><video:description>This episode of "The Big Picture" dates to the 1961-1962 season. Filmed at Washington,. D.C . it shows the Army's "Old Guard" - the 3rd Infantry Regiment - and the U.S. Army Band presenting its annual pageant of military skills and traditions.  The 3rd United States Infantry Regiment is a regiment of the United States Army. It currently has three active battalions, and is readily identified by its nickname, "The Old Guard," as well as "Escort to the President". The regimental motto is Noli Me Tangere (from Latin: – "Touch me Not"). 

In addition to the marching platoons, there are also elements of The Old Guard that serve special roles unique both to the regiment as well as the US Army. Among these include the sentinels of the Tomb of the Unknowns, maintaining a twenty-four hour watch over one of the nation's most sacred sites; the Continental Color Guard, which presents the nation's colors at special events across the Capitol Region; the Presidential Salute Battery, which renders honors to senior dignitaries at arrival and wreath ceremonies, reviews, and full honors funerals; and the US Army Caisson Platoon, which provides horses and riders to pull the caisson (the wagon that bears a casket) in military and state funerals.

During the battle, American and Philippine forces recaptured the city of Baguio on the island of Luzon from a Japanese occupation force. One of the last tank engagements of the Philippine campaign took place during the battle. Baguio later became the scene of the final surrender of Japanese forces in the Philippines in September 1945.

Yamashita, along with 50,500 men of the Shobu Group, held out against the American advance in northern Luzon until 15 August 1945. On 3 September 1945, one day after the official Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay, Yamashita formally surrendered Japanese forces in the Philippines at Camp John Hay's American Residence in the presence of lieutenant-generals Arthur Percival and Jonathan Wainwright.

HIGH FLIGHT POEM  U.S. AIR FORCE F-15 EAGLE  62504</video:title><video:description>Made by the U.S. Air Force in the 1980s, HIGH FLIGHT presents the famous poem by John Gillespie Magee, Jr. as read by actor William Conrad. This version features the then-new F-15 Eagle. (The aircraft are apparently from various squadrons including those marked "LA" which are from the 405th Tactical Fighter Training Wing, and the 27th TFS/1st TFW "Fighting Eagles", tail code "FF", based in Langley AFB, VA.

This short film was often used on television in the 1980s and 90s as a sign off for stations going off the air.

John Gillespie Magee Jr. (9 June 1922 – 11 December 1941) was a World War 2 Anglo-American Royal Canadian Air Force fighter pilot and poet, who wrote the poem High Flight. He was killed in an accidental mid-air collision in England in 1941. Magee's posthumous fame rests mainly on his sonnet High Flight, which he started on 18 August 1941, just a few months before his death, whilst he was based at No. 53 OTU. In his seventh flight in a Spitfire Mk I, he had flown up to 33,000 feet. As he orbited and climbed upward, he was struck by words he had read in another poem — "To touch the face of God." He completed his verse soon after landing.

Purportedly, the first person to read Magee's poem later that same day in the officers' mess, was his fellow Pilot Officer Michael Henry Le Bas (later Air Vice-Marshal M. H. Le Bas, CB CBE DSO AFC, Air Officer Commanding No. 1 Group RAF), with whom Magee had trained. Magee enclosed the poem in a letter to his parents, dated 3 September 1941. His father, then curate of Saint John's Episcopal Church in Washington, DC, reprinted it in church publications. The poem became more widely known through the efforts of Archibald MacLeish, then Librarian of Congress, who included it in an exhibition of poems called "Faith and Freedom" at the Library of Congress in February 1942. The manuscript copy of the poem remains at the Library of Congress.

At 8:00, General Patton is seen in Sicily while his troops surge into the interior of the island.

Operation Corkscrew was the code name for the Allied invasion of the Italian island of Pantelleria (between Sicily and Tunisia) on 11 June 1943, prior to the Allied invasion of Sicily during the Second World War. There had been an early plan to occupy the island in late 1940 (Operation Workshop),[1] but this was aborted when the Luftwaffe strengthened the Axis air threat in the region.

The Allied focus returned to Pantelleria in early 1943. The radar installations and airfield on the island were seen as a real threat to the planned invasion of Sicily (codenamed Operation Husky). The Italian garrison on the island was 12,000 strong in well-entrenched pillboxes and 21 gun batteries of a variety of calibres. In addition, there was an opportunity to assess the impact of bombardment upon heavily fortified defences.[3] It was decided to see if the island could be forced into submission by aerial and naval bombardment alone. Failing this, an amphibious invasion was planned for 11 June.

Starting in late May, the island was subjected to steadily increasing bombing attacks. In early June, the attacks intensified and 14,203 bombs amounting to 4,119 tons were dropped on 16 Italian batteries. On 8 June, a Royal Navy task force of five cruisers, eight destroyers and three torpedo boats carried out a bombardment of the main port on the island.

The engagement was observed by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander in the Mediterranean, and Admiral Andrew Cunningham from the flagship HMS Aurora. From 8 May to 11 June 5,285 bombing sorties were flown by fighter-bombers, medium and heavy bombers, dropping a total of 6,202 tons of bombs on the island.

The film was produced during World War II by the Crown Film Unit, an organization within the British Government's Ministry of Information to support the Allied war effort. The film is quite poetic in nature and presents life in wartime England during the Second World War. Director Humphrey Jennings visits many aspects of civilian life and of the turmoil and privation caused by the war, all without conventional narration.. This version is the American release, which was created by the War Department. For the American release, Listen to Britain opens with a foreword spoken by Leonard Brockington added by a "nervous civil servant" as there were fears that Americans may be confused by the ambiguity of the film's message.

The film conveys unity and strength of the British at war, including showing factories where tanks are built (18:00), women war workers (18:20), steel mills, farms (2:30), etc. At 2:30 plane spotters watch aircraft flying overhead while farmers work in the fields. Other visuals of note include at 11:22, British Army units including tanks are seen moving through a town. At 11:40 a train goes over a bridge. At 13:40, a live performance in a theater with ordinary Britons singing along is shown. Lancaster bombers taking off at 7:18, an ambulance station at 7:40.

The entire film was shot outside the mine itself, which was underground (opening visible at 1:46) and you can see ore cars being moved to and from the mine at :33. Ore is moved on a series of conveyer belts (:45) to be processed. At 2:12, a supervisor wearing a pith type helmet pours himself a drink.At 2:15 mine tailings are visible. At 2:42 the scene switches to the blue asbestos mines at Westerburg and Koegas at Prieska. Unfortunately most of the people you see in this film likely died of exposure to asbestos. According to an article on the Internet: "A large part of Prieska's 15,000 population worked in the asbestos mill at the edge of town, for a long time the town's main source of employment; others were employed at local mines. Three thousand residents of the region have already died of asbestos-related diseases, and the list is growing longer by the week. "Prieska is a living graveyard," says Cecil Skeffers, the town's community development worker. He watched his own father die recently, his breath slowly choked away."

At 2:58, men bore into the shored-up rock wall with a drill. At 3:23 ore cars depart the mine via a mechanized cable. At 3:44 they are pushed to be processed. At 3:55 a sifting mechanism is used to find asbestos crystals. At 4:20, children are seen at the mine processing area. At 5:24, another look at the machinery used in processing. At 6:28, a long sweeping shot of what might be the Prieska town, with tailings visible. At 7:00, more rock sifting is shown, distant smoke is likely from the smelter. At around 9 minutes, a segment of the film footage is repeated or "duped".  

All the mines shown were located in the Asbestos Mountains range, hills in the Northern Cape province of South Africa, stretching south-southwest from Kuruman, where the range is known as the Kuruman Hills, to Prieska. The range lies about 150 km west of Kimberle...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/46c01339-4ccb-4050-9e45-230574ebda96/59e481de-0e35-41a8-929f-e5c6be11d897-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9JHKjKggt1DFqpZyvbUyvC</video:player_loc><video:duration>810</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T21:59:57.435Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jPm5fRg6bKPm78n3hMXNHD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ecb0a245-2f4b-49bb-af5f-46c7f68392f1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s WEST POINT U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY  "Path to Success" 63104</video:title><video:description>This film about West Point shows the U.S. Military Academy as it appeared in the 1970s.

In the footage elements of the 75th Cavalry are seen crashing through the jungle on a search and destroy operation. The infantry are supported by tanks that appear to be M-48 Pattons. At 1:13, a landmine has been discovered in the road and sweeps are made with mine detectors for additional devices. At about 2:22 the mine is remotely detonated. At 2:36 the hole left from destroying the mine is examined. At 8:18, a medical clinic run by the 3/5th Cavalry is shown.  

The 75th Cavalry Regiment is a United States Army cavalry regiment established in 1941. Currently, only 1st Squadron (1-75 CAV), assigned to the 101st Airborne Division, is active.

Operation Akron was an operation conducted by the 1st Brigade, 9th Infantry Division and the 1st &amp; 3rd Squadrons, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (11th ACR) in Hát Dịch, lasting from 9 to 29 June 1967. The operation commenced on 9 June and initially met little resistance. On 18 June the 3rd Squadron, 11th ACR located a recently abandoned VC camp on Slope 30 along Highway 2. That evening the 3/11th ACR established 4 separate night defensive positions west of Highway 2. At 01:00 on 19 January, the VC 1st Battalion, 274th Regiment attacked the northernmost defensive position which was the location of the squadron command post. The attack was beaten back after 1 hour by defensive fire, supporting artillery and helicopter gunships. 56 VC bodies were located around the perimeter, U.S. losses were 9 killed.

On 26 June, a VC soldier defected at Tuc Trung on Highway 20, claiming to be from the 3rd Battalion, 275th Regiment and said that his unit was based 10 km northwest of Tuc Trung. On 27 June the ARVN 18th Division commander Gen. Do Ke Giai sent a Ranger unit to probe the campsite which they found to be abandoned, but fell into a VC ambush. A 1/11th ACR task force was dispatched to the scene that evening and the following morning arrived at the site of the battle f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3a07a66b-e391-4155-875e-ffddb805f3cb/213c28df-d5c8-4e7b-84f2-94f07a32a16d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8aBF9TkH93B8Sr4uKHXYWF</video:player_loc><video:duration>646</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T22:02:35.894Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pvZeh69w3TDgJxdtgkW6X7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cb27f9fe-4c2c-47fb-b16c-e07d4901b24a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>'60s PAN AM  AMERiCA'S NATURAL WONDERS TRAVELOGUE  NIAGARA FALLS  NATIONAL PARKS  GRAND CANYON 62004</video:title><video:description>Made for viewers in the United Kingdom, this late 1960s color film about the U.S National Parks is one of a series of Pan Am New Horizons travelogues.

The Merchant Marine is responsible for transporting cargo and passengers during peace time. In times of war, the Merchant Marine is an auxiliary to the Navy, and can be called upon to deliver troops and supplies for the military. Merchant mariners move cargo and passengers between nations and within the United States, operate and maintain deep sea merchant ships, tugboats, towboats, ferries, dredges, excursion vessels, and other waterborne craft on the oceans, the Great Lakes, rivers, canals, harbors, and other waterways. As of 2006, the United States merchant fleet numbered 465 ships and approximately 100,000 members. The federal government maintains fleets of merchant ships via organizations such as Military Sealift Command and the National Defense Reserve Fleet. In 2004, the federal government employed approximately 5% of all American water transportation workers. In the 19th and 20th centuries, various laws fundamentally changed the course of American merchant shipping. These laws put an end to common practices such as flogging and shanghaiing, and increased shipboard safety and living standards. The United States Merchant Marine is also governed by several international conventions to promote safety and prevent pollution. The merchant marine is a civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Navy, but not a uniformed service, except in times of war when, in accordance with the Merchant Marine Act of 1936, mariners are considered military personnel. In a time of "national emergency", the President can permanently seize any merchant marine vessel in return for fair compensation, or commandeer it for temporary use with no compensation if returned in reasonable condition. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan signed a bi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7b764878-d642-4754-b98e-82c75ddf4caf/13915242-ad8a-4ec7-8a8e-2e7f05bb565a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gffgiBAJ6ccC4LLbRWw5in</video:player_loc><video:duration>1329</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T22:11:52.683Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qqwDrRgBiXQRmvFHHYDFof</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/51f64146-2894-4271-a22f-eb481149e924.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s HEINZ KETCHUP CORPORATE PROMOTIONAL FILM  76054</video:title><video:description>This rarely seen 1940s corporate film attempts to explain the history of the H.J. Heinz Company and one of its all time great products, tomato ketchup.  It starts over a hundred years ago with a search for tomatoes...and that's about 13 minutes of story.  Finally the right seeds are developed by a firm that ends up being called the Livingston Seed Company.   The experimentation done by Heinz to develop the perfect ketchup is dramatized at 14:30, with chemical analysis of different tomato varieties, that leads to a feat of genetic engineering...producing the "perfect tomato".  The film ends with images of modern ketchup production as it occurred in the 40s, with shots of tomatoes being harvested and processed at a large factory.  The handling of the tomatoes is something to seen as they are sorted, cleaned, trimmed -- that's the last time they are touched by human hands -- and then scalded, cooked and moved into bottles.  

First introduced in 1876, Heinz Tomato Ketchup remains one of the best selling brands of ketchup. From 1906 it was produced without preservatives. In 1907, Heinz started producing 13 million bottles of ketchup per year, exporting ketchup all over the world, including India, Australia, South America, Japan, Indonesia, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom. Heinz ketchup is often served at restaurants in the United States and Canada, as well as many other countries. As a condiment for many foods, such as french fries, chips, hamburgers and hot dogs, Heinz ketchup uses the slogan, "America's Favorite Ketchup." As of 2012, there are more than 650 million bottles of Heinz Tomato Ketchup being sold every year throughout the world.

In January 2009, the label design was altered, with the illustration of a gherkin pickle that had adorned the label since the 1890s removed and replaced with an illustration of a vine-ripened tomato accompanied by the slogan "Grown not made".

The mission began July 28, 1973, with the launch of three astronauts on the Saturn IB rocket, and lasted 59 days, 11 hours and 9 minutes. A total of 1,084.7 astronaut-utilization hours were tallied by the Skylab 3 crew performing scientific experiments in the areas of medical activities, solar observations, Earth resources, and other experiments.

The crew consisted of Commander Alan L. Bean, Science Pilot Owen K. Garriott -- father of Lord British -- and pilot Jack R. Lousma.

The manned Skylab missions were officially designated Skylab 2, 3, and 4. Mis-communication about the numbering resulted in the mission emblems reading Skylab I, Skylab II, and Skylab 3 respectively. During the approach phase, a propellant leak developed in one of the Apollo Service Module's reaction control system thruster quads. The crew was able to safely dock with Skylab, but troubleshooting continued with the problem. Six days later, another thruster quad developed a leak, creating concern amongst Mission Control. For the first time, an Apollo spacecraft would be rolled out to Launch Complex 39 for a rescue mission, made possible by the ability for the station to have two Apollo CSMs docked at the same time. It was eventually determined that the CSM could be safely maneuvered using only two working thruster quads, and the rescue mission was never launched.

The crew, during their first EVA, installed the twin-pole sunshade, one of the two solutions for the destruction of the micrometeoroid shield during Skylab's launch to keep the space station cool. It was installed over the parasol, which was originally deployed through a porthole airlock during Skylab 2. Both were brought to the station by Skylab 2. Skylab 3 continued a comprehensive medical research program that extended the data on human physiological adaptation and readaptation to space flight collected on th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0a9505ce-8ddc-4e3b-96f7-9ac521fe61c6/8960a6c5-4f13-4a81-af32-68d377e80711-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2iMPMkmekcsHMMWxBmPHhJ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1050</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T22:16:48.441Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mvvk7C6eTsnqiHjY29sVaL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6c1acc39-cf95-4cdd-9857-de6722d8720e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CARIBBEAN ISLAND OF SABA  1947 EDUCATIONAL FILM   DUTCH COLONIAL LIFE  63504</video:title><video:description>This 1947 film "People of Saba" looks at the small Caribbean island which is the smallest special municipality (officially “public body”) of the Netherlands. Saba consists largely of the potentially active volcano Mount Scenery, at 887 metres (2,910 ft) the highest point of the entire Netherlands. The film was made before an airport was built on the island, and it was essentially cut off from the outside world except by ship.

Saba has a land area of 13 square kilometres (5.0 sq mi). As of January 2013, the population was 1,991 inhabitants, with a population density of 150 inhabitants per square kilometre (390/sq mi). Its towns and major settlements are The Bottom (the capital), Windwardside, Hell's Gate and St. Johns.

At 1:10, the film opens with a signal flag being hoisted as the weekly steamer that arrives at the island is sighted. At 2:00 the steamer is anchored off shore and locals meet boats as they land, bringing mail and other supplies. At 3:13, mules bring supplies from a cove back to the interior of the volcanic island. Some supplies are carried to the village by hand. At 4:00 the interior of the island is shown. At 5:30 ice cream is made by hand for a child, and at 5:40, a tea party is thrown, and local women make embroidery. At 6:30, a government road project is seen which employs many of the local men. At 7:53 the saba root is harvested and made into food. The film vividly shows how the cooperation of the locals is critical. At 8:16 the doctor is summoned not by phone, but by a child running to his home. The doctor rides to the child's house by horseback. At 9:30 a boat is lowered into the ocean by hand, an extremely difficult task. 

Saba consists largely of the potentially active volcano Mount Scenery. At 887 metres (2,910 ft) the volcano is the highest point within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

The vegetation of Saba is mainly composed of woodland forest with ferns and damp soil, and many mango trees. Visitors refer to Saba's forests as "the E...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a6156ae1-f180-4ec8-be8c-e51ad6dee6da/62700f1a-9f79-47c4-8908-4c5b8da8a405-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mvvk7C6eTsnqiHjY29sVaL</video:player_loc><video:duration>658</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T22:18:11.207Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kC8CR28TH5yyKcYTRzH9Kq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/558f8afa-be70-4815-922e-c41ca68999cc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SAGA OF THE USS FRANKLIN   ESSEX CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIER IN WWII  20934</video:title><video:description>This Navy Department film is live footage of and from the USS Franklin, one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II. She was badly damaged by a Japanese air attack in 1945, resulting in the loss of over 800 crew members, yet survived. It opens with the convoy ships firing (:06-:22). A kamikaze plane crashes into a ship, Japanese fighter planes are seen (:22-:57). Rockets launch at Japanese ships (:58-1:04). A kamikaze plane is shot down, followed by another (1:11-1:49). On September 13, 1944, four kamikaze planes attack the Franklin; the fourth is shown hitting the flight deck (1:50-2:05). Four months later, she draws up to Pearl Harbor (2:06-2:29). Waiting at the dock is a group of 50 WAVES, who watch the awarding of combat decorations (2:30-2:45). The Franklin carried Vought F4U Corsair and Curtiss SB2C Helldivers, shown taking off and flying (2:46-3:38). Landing takes coordination between the pilot and the Landing Signal Officer (3:39-4:50). The crew sunbathes on the deck. Ensign A.W. Graf gets a cake for being the 9,000th landing (4:51-5:30). Mustered for inspection, different colored shirts signify different jobs. Once the ship left port, the men wore dungarees and the white hats were dyed blue (5:31-6:28). February 20, 1945, the 35th and 75th left for the Kaneohe Naval Air Station (6:29-7:08). The Franklin is restocked and some of the crew enjoys swimming and canoeing (7:09-7:40). She leaves for Ulithi March 13, 1945, which is shown full of fleet units (7:41-8:50). March 19, 1945, the Franklin commenced launching aircraft of the second strike group aimed for Honshu. The USS Hancock radios that a Japanese Yokosuka D4Y Judy dive bomber is on its way.

At :15, white hunters pose with a large group of locals, around a deceased bull elephant. At :44, natives pose with a large piece of elephant meat, and are shown butchering an animal. At 1:10, the tusk is removed by bearers. At 2:10, another bull elephant is seen, with the hunter proudly posing between its gigantic tusks. At 2:38, another view of the carcass, while the natives stand attentive watch. At 3:13, the butcher process of the elephant begins with a machete-like knife, in an attempt to liberate the tusks. At 3:56 a joyous dance occurs. (Wish we knew what tribe or group of people this is!) At 6:07, a tusk is shown being cleaned up for transport. At 6:25, a local woman poses for the camera. At 7:43, a large group of people join in cutting up the elephant, presumably to get a share of the meat. At 8:30, large folds of elephant hide are cut off the animal. At 9:20, the entire group is seen working on the carcass. At 9:30, the hunters pose with their ivory, forming an arch over their heads. At 10:12 the party is seen moving through the bush. At 10:28, yet another elephant is seen on the ground, apparently still alive -- and it is given coup d'grace shots with elephant guns. At 10:47 the elated hunters jump up and down on the corpse and at 11:00 pose on its tusks. At 11:20, the hunters are seen posing with a dead rhino. At 12:33, the natives pose for the camera while standing on the rhino. At 13:50 the rhino is rolled over so that it can be butchered, and the party sets to work on the grim task. At 14:10, sheets of hide are removed. At 14:21, a native boy uses a boy and arrow to do target practice. At 14:33, another elephant corpse is shown. At 15:05, the hunter sits atop his prize and warmly shakes the hands of his guides. At 15:50, ivory is transported by bearers as the party leaves the hunting grounds.

HOLLAND "HOWLIN' MAD" SMITH 86984</video:title><video:description>Hosted by General Holland "Howlin' Mad Smith, the gritty UNCOMMON VALOR TV series documents the U.S. Marines in combat in the Pacific theater during World War II and then during the Korean conflict. Created by Bill Karn, a Hollywood TV director best known for his work on "Gang Busters", "Uncommon Valor" was one of several military-inspired shows of its era (including "Navy Log", "Victory at Sea" and "Silent Service") that celebrated the WWII generation and their exploits.

This episode looks at one of the early USA offensives in the Pacific, the Battle for Tulagi, starting at August 7th, 1942.  

The Battle of Tulagi and Gavutu–Tanambogo was a land battle of the Pacific campaign of World War II, between the forces of the Imperial Japanese Navy and Allied (mainly United States (U.S.) Marine) ground forces. It took place from 7–9 August 1942 on the Solomon Islands, during the initial Allied landings in the Guadalcanal campaign.

U.S. Marines, under the overall command of U.S. Major General Alexander Vandegrift, captured the islands of Tulagi, Gavutu, and Tanambogo among which the Japanese Navy had constructed a naval and seaplane base. The landings were fiercely resisted by the Japanese Navy troops who, outnumbered and outgunned by the Allied forces, fought and died almost to the last man.

At the same time that the landings on Tulagi and Gavutu–Tanambogo were taking place, Allied troops were also landing on nearby Guadalcanal, with the objective of capturing an airfield under construction by Japanese forces. In contrast to the intense fighting on Tulagi and Gavutu, the landings on Guadalcanal were essentially unopposed. The landings on both Tulagi and Guadalcanal initiated the six-month-long Guadalcanal campaign and a series of combined-arms battles between Allied and Japanese forces in the Solomon Islands area.

Wartman, M.D., of Northwestern University’s School of Medicine. The short film describes common cancers and their symptoms as well as the current methods of cancer detection and treatment. Graphics (02:15) reveal how cancer cells spread and become malignant tumors, which can often be treated because of advances in cancer research. Advanced equipment at hospitals, such as the x-ray fluoroscope (03:18, 11:48) and the gastroscope, allow cancer specialists to identify and locate cancerous growths early on. Treatment options include using x-ray machines (06:48, 11:43) to destroy cancer cells, which the narrator refers to as x-ray treatment (radiation therapy), as well as surgery (07:08) to remove malignant growth. Graphics are again used to show the common types of cancer in males and females (07:19). The film then discusses possible causes of cancer, including excessive exposure to sun and wind such as a farmer regularly driving his tractor (08:03), chronic irritation to a part of the body such as smoking, or exposure to radiation or chemicals. The seven danger signs of cancer are sores that do not heal, a lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere, unusual bleeding or discharge, any change in a wart or mole, persistent indigestion or difficulty swallowing, persistent hoarseness or cough, and any change in normal bowel habits. The film advises viewers to not wait to seek medical attention, and that cancer is not just a threat to the elderly.

The film opens with new Air Force recruits arriving to training bases in the summer of 1950 (01:13). The training program involves aircraft maintenance and operation, including flying a Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star (01:58). An aerial shot (02:18) of an air field shows the work that most go in to planning the logistics of air supply for the Korean conflict. Under the command of Lieutenant Laurence S. Kuter, the USAF successfully airlifts supplies and equipment across the Pacific. Civilian airlines (02:57), including American Overseas Airlines, Overseas National Airways, and United Airlines, are used to transport troops. Pacific Airlift transports land in Japan, dropping off cargo and men. From Japan, the cargo is transported to the Korean peninsula under the command of Major General William H. Tunner, head of U.S. Combat Cargo. A C-47 arrives at Taegu Airfield (04:16) with the Navy’s Admiral Charles Turner Joy and Vice Admiral Arthur Dewey Struble, who meet with the Air Force’s Major General Earle Everard Patridge, Lieutenant General George E. Stratemeyer, and Lieutenant General I.H. Edwards (05:00). B-29s are sent to attack Korean airfields in enemy hands (05:35) as a lead-up to the Inchon operation. B-29s bomb communist positions and targets (06:00). On 15 September 1950 at Inchon, Navy ships fire (06:45) to dislodge enemy troops.

The film follows the Martin family as they arrive at the airport (00:10) for their flight to New York—TWA flight 376, aboard TWA’s Constellation airliner (the Lockheed Constellation is a propeller-driven, four-engine airliner built between 1943 and 1958). The film reveals the passenger experience, as well as behind-the-scenes airport logistics, to ensure new travelers will be comfortable with much of the commercial flight process (however, the film does not cover landing, de-boarding, or baggage retrieval). The film teaches viewers about TWA’s skycap service (00:42); weight limits for luggage; locating departure gates and times; how luggage is checked (03:16) and then transported to the plane on baggage carts pulled by tugs (03:40); and inflight food service (04:31, 06:00). The film also provides an overview of the flight crew and their respective roles. The hostesses check that the cabin is ready for passengers, then they greet the passengers as boarding begins, review flight times, destinations, and safety requirements (10:26), prep food trays (14:00) and serve food, and ensure the passengers are as comfortable as possible. The Captain and First Officer board the Constellation (07:53) and go through the safety chart in the cockpit (09:00), before firing up each engine individually (11:35) prior to takeoff. The Flight Engineer checks the plane’s exterior for any problems and verifies that pre-flight tasks—such as refueling from a Shell fuel truck (08:15)—have been completed. The film concludes with a shot of the Constellation flying above the clouds (15:46) on its journey to St. Louis, then Chicago, and finally New York.

Goodman, Chairman of Wisconsin State University’s Department of Business Education, that covers the basics of filing procedures in business. Whether using a state-of-the-art electronic data processing system (00:35) or a traditional record keeping system, the procedures for filing records are the same. The three main elements of record keeping are preparing records, filing records, and retrieving records. Using a traditional filing room as an example, the film walks viewers through the filing procedures, following a records request being fulfilled. The film covers aspects of filing including alphabetical progressions, ordering files by date, and the use of “out cards” or “out folders” (04:42). Preparing records by coding and annotating documents, creating cross-reference sheets, or duplicating records using office equipment such as a Thermo-Fax duplicator (07:12) enables filing women to quickly and accurately file records. In some offices, a sorter (07:50) is used to prepare records for quick filing. The film discusses transferring records based on usage or date, then covers the different filing methods, including numeric, subject, and geographical in addition to alphabetical filing. Various filing storage is used, ranging from open-shelf filing at hospitals to microfilm files and printers (12:34) favored by architecture firms to the elevator files (12:50) used by large insurance companies and credit agencies. However, the principles and procedures of filing remain the same.

The film begins with title cards indicating that the person who shot the film was living aboard the USS Blackford (APB-45), a Benewah-class self-propelled barracks ship that was in service with the United States Navy during the waning days of World War II and was decommissioned in April 1947. So clearly the film predates that.

Blackford is seen at :20 in her berth, and some of the crew are seen as well. At 1:43 a single stack ship, possibly a coastal patrol boat, can be seen. At 3:00 Japanese pose and clown for the camera. At 6:11 are placid scenes probably near Tokyo (if you know where, please let us know). At 8:17, neon lights up with a "Merry Xmas" sign. At 8:35 street traffic including trolley cars are seen, and military trucks rumble past. At 10:01 the Yokohama Oyster Beds are shown.

At 14:30, U.S. servicemen relax in a Japanese inn and are attended to by a Japanese woman. At 17:25, a U.S. man tries to use chopsticks. At 19:23, Army soldiers visit a Japanese shrine and take pictures with a Speed Graphic. At 23:57 large mountains loom behind a town. A sign indicates that this is the Jyoshuya Hotel. At 24:22, Aeko Iwamoto of Tokyo is introduced. She appears to be a school girl and from the looks of things might have had a romantic attachment to whoever shot the film. 

At 27:19 the city of Hiroshima, devastated by an atomic bomb, is shown. A title card proclaims it as a "ghost city". At 27:40, the ruins of a church are visible. At 30:10 a man walks by with a Speed Graphic, taking photos in the ruins. At 32;24 a bridge is visible. At 32:35 the docks are once again seen and the USS Blackford. At 35:02 the Tokyo Inlet Casino is shown and there are more shots of ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c0cda8aa-245b-467c-b6cc-6dcbae0e9ef4/a8ac4b6b-3045-4cec-b5b8-da3650c42ca1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pNSHEgHRoU3h3PRmws9v8J</video:player_loc><video:duration>3372</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T22:49:11.207Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/auhCk6f4TLLm3ctnJFuyFu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a6951c55-8170-4624-a1d4-a230bfe83f6b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"REPORT FROM THE ALEUTIANS"  1943 WWII DOCUMENTARY  BATTLE FOR ALASKA  JOHN HUSTON    26144</video:title><video:description>"Report From the Aleutians" is a documentary produced by the U.S. Army Signal Corps about the Aleutian Islands Campaign during WWII. It was directed by John Huston. The Aleutians, a remote volcanic chain in the North Pacific, played a strategic role in WWII. In 1942, the Japanese attacked Dutch Harbor and seized Attu, Agattu, and Kiska. U.S. bombers launched daily missions against Kiska, despite harsh weather, limited visibility, and anti-aircraft fire. The base operated under extreme conditions. Precision planning, detailed intelligence, and the dedication of crews were key to sustaining operations and laying the groundwork for an assault on the Japanese-held islands.

00:00: The Aleutian Islands form a volcanic chain in the North Pacific, extending from Alaska toward Siberia, with rocky coasts and active volcanoes. 1:18:The Aleutians experience constant storms due to polar and Japanese air mass interactions, aiding Japanese forces during WWII by concealing movements.2:07:Japan used weather cover to launch dual attacks on Midway and Dutch Harbor; both failed. U.S. forces countered with air power, heavily damaging enemy fleets.3:21:Pilots endured brutal conditions with high risk, minimal navigation support, and often no return. Their sacrifices are remembered through their actions, not monuments.3:58: troops occupied Attu, Agattu, and Kiska. In response, the U.S. launched an offensive, beginning with a landing on Adak Island.4:18:Adak, though bleak and barren, offered crucial proximity to Japan. Within days, a bomber-capable airfield was established.5:15The Adak airfield became a hub for daily bombing raids on Kiska, supported by a harbor that enabled steady resupply and deployment.6:21:Adak’s landlocked harbor supports round-the-clock logistical operations. Defenses include aerial patrols, PT boats, coastal batteries, and offshore destroyers.8:05Convoys to Adak face submarine threats.

The film begins with a parade -- possibly the Grand Parade held every March -- in Honolulu at 13:15, complete with floats and clowns. At :30 a melting pot themed float goes by followed by one for Dole Pineapples. At 1:21 father time comes past in a jeep. At 1:36, hula dancers perform. At 3:04 the Matsonia is seen off Diamond Head on its way into Honolulu. At 3:46 tugs rendezvous with the liner, which comes in very close to the shore. At 5:13 the ship is seen near the Matson Lines terminal. At 5:50, more "native" dancing is shown...




Originally christened SS Monterey, the ship was completed in 1932. Monterey was the third of the four ships of the Matson Lines "White Fleet", which were designed by William Francis Gibbs and also included SS Malolo, SS Mariposa and SS Lurline. Monterey was identical to Mariposa and very similar to Lurline. During World War II Monterey was used as a troopship operated by Matson as agents of the War Shipping Administration (WSA). Monterey was a large, fast transport capable of sailing independently and was allocated to serving Army troop transport requirements. The ship was involved in an attack on a convoy near Cape Bougaroun.

After WWII, Matson was enjoying fair post-war success with Lurline and was looking to expand their passenger operation once more. Matson bought the old mothballed SS Monterey back from the US Government on 3 February 1956 and had to come up with a new name for her: she was rechristened SS Matsonia, replacing their earlier Matsonia which had been sold to Home Lines in 1954 and subsequently renamed. The new Matsonia (ex-Monterey) first sailed from New York to San Francisco on 22 May 1957 to team up with her sister Lurline on the San Francisco – Los Angeles – Honolulu run.

Within five years, profits from passenger service had fallen to the point where Matson decided to...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a8519daf-08f0-4cd0-b93b-17b4c6757b22/1fa7893f-98be-4a2d-8772-1a087d5eb61e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mMvPaXDVALjT2v2pnHWw7N</video:player_loc><video:duration>605</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T22:57:13.922Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rsDXTPgBqUBhTXV8u6NgVP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1f1b3af1-98ea-458a-b44c-eada1b75e66c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>COMPUTERS THE ULTIMATE MACHINES  1970s INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERS  62284</video:title><video:description>Produced in the early 1970s "The Ultimate Machine" is an introduction to computers that features a variety of computers, including early personal computers. At 1:27, an early mainframe computer is shown. At 1:47, a music box -- a mechanical computer -- is shown and a connection made to modern computer punch cards which are shown at 2:40. At 4:22, a mechanical calculator is shown and then at 4:40, a modern computer using a punch tape program is shown.  At 5:13, an automated oil refinery control room is shown. 8:53, electronic music is shown being created at Bell Labs using an early synthesizer similar to those used by Robert Moog. At 10:00, an automaton is shown, and then at 10:13 a computer controlled IBM robot is shown delivering mail. At 12:02, a prototype robot rover is shown, and at 12:10 a gerbil is set loose in a machine that interacts with it. At 12:55, a man plays against a computerized chess screen that seems very similar to the one seen in 2001: A Space Odyssey. At 13:40, early computer graphics are displayed on an Adage Graphics Terminal. At 14:33, a game of pool is played using a light pen cue stick. At 18:48, a Honeywell mainframe is shown with spinning magnetic tapes. The film ends with a warning that the future may include computers being used to control the lives of many by the few.

The film begins in the Bay of Funchal, with a passenger liner arriving in the busy harbor. At 1:05, natives in boats greet the tourists in the harbor, and offer wares. At 1:29, boys call for coins which are thrown from the ship. At 1:50 the volcanic beaches are seen. At 2:30, sleighs pulled on runners are seen, in a city where the narrator says automobiles are few. At 3:00, local handicrafts are seen including embroidery. At 4:00, some of the work to prepare casques for Madeira wine is shown. At 4:30, the wine is shown being moved to a vault for aging. At 5:00, a vault which has not been opened for 50 years is seen. At 5:15, a 330-year-old wine is sampled. At 5:26, a tradition native cap is shown, and at 5:40 locals celebrate the wonderful wine with a song accompanied by a primitive guitar. At 6:22, some of the unique flowers of Madeira are shown. At 6:43, a cog railway is seen in the heights above Funchal. At 7:00, men carry tourists up the mountains in a hammock. At 7:29 the cog railway is seen again, arriving at the top of the mountain above Funchal. At 7:50, tourists are seen sliding down the mountain in sleds that slide down the cobblestone streets. 

Madeira is a Portuguese archipelago situated in the north Atlantic Ocean, southwest of Portugal. Its total population was estimated in 2011 at 267,785. The capital of Madeira is Funchal, located on the main island's south coast.The archipelago is just under 400 kilometres (250 mi) north of Tenerife, Canary Islands. Since 1976, the archipelago has been one of the two autonomous regions of Portugal (the other being the Azores, located to the northwest). It includes the islands of Madeira, Porto Santo, and the Desertas, administered together with the separate archipelago of the Savage Islands. The region has political and administrative autonomy through the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e422eaba-a0ec-40cf-ab94-48b0ab6df24d/de664278-cda7-43b6-9ba8-60b43d46e387-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uaW6PrDyjB6H3EjUQBjmqe</video:player_loc><video:duration>557</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T22:59:20.755Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kEiuwg4WdgY5NmT29NzTkF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fb5bd4ef-5ef1-4bb1-880c-d5d163cd50a9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HUGHES GLOMAR EXPLORER   MINING MINERALS IN THE DEEP OCEAN  MAGANESE NODULE RECOVERY  22324</video:title><video:description>“Oceanography: Mining Mineral In The Ocean” is an issue of the Science Screen Report, presented by United Technologies Sikorsky Aircraft, that discusses the potential and problems of have deep-sea mining for minerals. The issue opens with shots of the sea, which is a “reserve of global resources,” including metals from deep-sea nodules (polymetallic nodules). These nodules cover vast areas of the sea bottom, and their potential is the reason for a major deep-ocean project being carried out. Deep Sea Nodules can be the size of potatoes, and their porous structure accumulates layers of various metals. They are very slow growing, but sizeable nodules cover areas of the sea floor, providing a significant reserve of metals. As part of the project to determine the mining feasibility of nodules, the first self-propelled robot miner (01:38) is developed and tested. Scientists examine nodules in a lab (02:52), but to answer a number of questions surrounding them, the National Science Foundation uses Research Vessel Melvillle (03:12) to carry out underwater tests. Members of the crew lower sound beacons to create a grid (03:35). Then a robot mapping vehicle is lowered into the water to gather data within the grid. In the control room (04:10), the team monitors the robot’s data. The next step is the collection of sea floor samples (05:08); a box corer is lowered into the water to gather sample nodules, transporting nodules and their environment to the surface. Scientists examine the contents, conduct tests, and record data. The results indicate nodules may grow similar to coral. Next, piston corers (06:52) are used to take out samples of core sections of the floor to add to the mission’s overall understanding. After two weeks, the samples and data are collected, stored, and made accessible to over 50 research centers throughout the world. The next phase involves exploration ship Governor Ray (08:06), which monitors a sea mining research site, and Glomar Explorer (08:22), a ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9f36ad6f-127d-4cb5-9484-c3a98ef90569/2239442a-8e78-4372-a801-fcd66d12719f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kEiuwg4WdgY5NmT29NzTkF</video:player_loc><video:duration>864</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T23:01:57.369Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jZUGHFRKrCrXYBdjjxH5hA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9cd1e78b-d0fd-4126-8267-5db87f5bc455.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FURNITURE CRAFTSMEN 1940s WOODWORKING &amp; CHAIR MANUFACTURE FILM  47974</video:title><video:description>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

London Bridge is a bridge in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. It was built in the 1830s and formerly spanned the River Thames in London, England. It was dismantled in 1967 and relocated to Arizona. The Arizona bridge is a reinforced concrete structure clad in the original masonry of the 1830s bridge, which was purchased by Robert P. McCulloch from the City of London. McCulloch had exterior granite blocks from the original bridge numbered and transported to America to construct the present bridge in Lake Havasu City, a planned community he established in 1964 on the shore of Lake Havasu. The bridge was completed in 1971 (along with a canal), and links an island in the Colorado River with the main part of Lake Havasu City.

At 2:27 it shows the Big Surf Water Park outside of Tempe. Opened in 1969 and financed by the Clairol Company, it boasted the first wave pool in the United States. The wave pool was designed by Phil Dexter. At a ceremony on August 17, 2013 the Waikiki Beach Wave pool was designated as an ASME Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark. The recognition is for being the "first inland surfing facility in North America". The Big Surf Water park became the first amusement park or waterpark to receive such an ASME landmark status.

As one of the claimants of the first and oldest wave pool in the United States, it at one point featured surfing exhibitions and competitions, as well as regular use by patrons of the park. This was largely discontinued in the late 1980s and early 1990s due to safety and liability concerns. Daily surf sessions are held before the park opens to the general public and between 5pm-6pm. Since its opening, Big Surf has added several attractions and replaced its original sand beach with a concrete bot...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5d3cacf8-39cf-4c20-8c7f-edf604fd4db7/78994d8b-dcc3-41f2-a1ae-01894f732b11-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cvLKLRQYJrF4yFTKZNN7dX</video:player_loc><video:duration>384</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T23:05:32.221Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6k2GSSmsMfddJRrge8CYaF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/555cb409-86ff-41f3-a271-12d4562d1709.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NUREMBERG TRIALS   POST WWII TRIALS OF NAZI WAR CRIMINALS  1945   26322</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

The film features "Wilbur Right" and "Wilbur Wrong" demonstrating how to do basic maneuvers correctly and incorrectly. 

Gustavo "Gus" Arriola (July 17, 1917 – February 2, 2008) was a Mexican-American comic strip cartoonist and animator, primarily known for the comic strip Gordo, which ran from 1941 through 1985.
Gus Arriola was born in Florence, Arizona, the youngest of nine children. Arriola's father, Aquiles Arriola, had been born on a hacienda in Sonora, Mexico. Gus's mother died when he was a baby, and he was raised by an older sister in a Spanish-speaking household. He learned English by reading the Sunday comics. His family moved to Los Angeles, California, when he was eight years old. He first studied art formally in Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles, California. Immediately after high school he spent a year working on Krazy Kat for Screen Gems, then three years animating Tom and Jerry and Lonesome Stranger for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as a "sketch man", before leaving to start his own comic strip. During World War II, he directed training films for the United States Army while continuing to produce Sunday Gordo cartoons. After his early strips were criticized for Hollywood-style cultural stereotypes, Arriola realized that his was the only periodical work in American mass media that depicted life in Mexico and modified the strip to be more sympathetic. A much thinner and contemplative Gordo eventually became a flirtatious tour guide, whom Arriola often described as an "accidental ambassador" for Mexican culture.[5] The strip introduced America to such now-popular words and phrases as "hasta la vista," "amigo," "piñata," "compadre," "muchacho" and "hasta mañana," as well as Mayan, Aztec and Mexican customs, history and folklore.

Two versions of the film are known to exist -- the original British version and this one, which was released by the War Department in the United States. The U.S. version is more or less the same movie, only slightly shorter. It was also originally released in the USA with War Department identification numbers.

This fascinating movie, distributed by RKO, dramatised the work of RAF Coastal Command. It was made under the supervision of Ian Dalrymple, with the full cooperation of the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy. The participants of the movie were active RAF officers, NCOs and aircrew, and RN officers, and included pilot Roger Hunter and Flight Sergeant Charles Norman Lewis; the latter of whom was killed in World War II. The performances were generally well received.[citation needed] Coastal Command is notable for its score by Ralph Vaughan Williams. Coastal Command is a documentary-style account of the Shorts Sunderland and PBY Catalina flying boats during the Battle of the Atlantic. 

The film includes real footage of attacks on a major enemy ship by Hudson and Halifax bombers based in Iceland. Later, the film depicts a routine sea patrol, in which a Sunderland flying boat flies over a convoy and bombs a German U-boat. Two versions of the film were made, one featuring an explanatory voice-over. In this version, the film ends with a combined air attack on an enemy cruiser caught away from its base. The Sunderland's crew returns to England, mission accomplished, and with a wounded crew member in stable condition. In the second, slightly longer version of the film, the Sunderland crew returns home after the successful attack on the cruiser, and the wounded crew member is hospitalized. After a visit to the hospital, the film ends as the Sunderland crew is informed they will be re-deployed to West Africa, to begin a new mission.

The exact date is not known, but portions are possibly as late as 1957 and could be as early as 1953. (The building at 05:09 is the Rathausturm or city hall tower, which did not undergo reconstruction until 1953; the central train station shown at 4:30 was apparently not in this condition until about 1957.)  One interesting detail in the film is that trees are visible in the city. During the war and aftermath most trees were cut down to use for heating. 

The Cologne Cathedral is seen amidst the ruins of the city. Rebuilding efforts and rubble clearing are seen (:49) including with hand tools and heavy machinery. At 1:45 close shots are seen of the cathedral, and at 2:30 shots of a fruit and vegetable stand and a grocery store in a shopping district that appears mostly untouched by war. At 3:30 a city gate is shown.  At 3:50 a band plays for donations. At 4:00 is the "Ebertplatz" in the northern Part of the city center, with a fountain. German girls sitting and doing knitting. At 4:40 some factories are seen including what might be a power plant with its smokestacks billowing. (This may or may not be Cologne, as most heavy industry of this type in the harbor was destroyed during the war.) At 5:00 the harbor area is seen with ships unloading ore, possibly coal for the power plant. At 6:30 close ups of the smokestacks. At 6:57 cranes are seen moving ore and at 8:00 a railroad is seen. At 8:00 a blast furnace is seen in operation and at 8:33 liquid metal is shown, possibly steel.

During World War II, Cologne was a Military Area Command Headquarters (Militärbereichshauptkommandoquartier) for the Military District (Wehrkreis) VI of Münster. Cologne was under the command of Lieutenant-General Freiherr Roeder von Diersburg, who was responsible for military operations in Bonn, Siegburg, Aachen, Jülich, Düren, and Monschau.

One person suggested it could be part of Operation Goldflake. Operation Goldflake was the administrative move of I Canadian Corps (in essence, all Canadian combatant units) and the British 5th Infantry Division from Italy to Northwestern Europe during the Second World War. British-led forces had been fighting in Italy since the Allied invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The Allied commanders decided to move the British and Canadian troops to fight in Northwestern Europe in the spring of 1945.

This restricted film, which was created for reporting purposes, shows U.S. Army personnel boarding amphibious landing craft. The scene is likely southern Italy, although it could also be southern France or even Sicily.

At :40, tanks rigged with snorkels are seen getting ready to board, while at :55 Navy or Coast Guard personnel bring supplies on board. At 1:11 a barrage balloon is rigged.  At 1:39, more tanks arrive for embarkation, while MPs stand by. At 2:00, a British or Canadian officer is seen, and at 2:17 a Sherman boards an amphibious vehicle. At 2:28 a tractor is loaded. At 3:04 mobile artillery is loaded and at 3:17 an assembled group of soldiers receives pieces of paper (orders?) At 3:36 medics are seen boarding. at 4:00, British or Canadian troops share a cup of coffee (or rum?)  At 4:18, a soldier reads a copy of a pulp magazine called " Men Only ". At 4:38, unit insignia is seen close up -- do you recognize it? At 5:13 loaves of bread and tins are stacked up. At 5:28 the amphibious loading ramps are closed and the ships begin to leave. At 5:30, a damaged USA flag flies over the vessel which we see at 6:00 is called the "2 O'Clock Jump" # 219.

KENNEDY  USS ENTERPRISE &amp; FLEET WAR GAMES  ARRIVING  JFK (Print 2) 33854</video:title><video:description>"United States Arriving" was created in the mid-1950s after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It documents the affinity that Kennedy, who had served in the U.S. Navy, had for that branch of the U.S. military. In the film you will see President John F. Kennedy visiting the newly-commissioned USS Enterprise (CVN-65) on April 14, 1962 and at Pt. Mugu, California on June 7, 1953. Kennedy used both occasions to promote a strengthened U.S. Navy, one whose indomitable force would help preserve the peace. He then watched naval war games that included some of the most cutting-edge weaponry of the day, including missiles, rockets, and supersonic aircraft. Sadly, Kennedy would be assassinated just a short time after the visit to Pt. Mugu. In addition to Kennedy, Vice President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara acan be seen in the film. Ships seen in the film include: Fletcher-class destroyer USS Rooks (DD-804), Gearing class destroyer USS Bordelon (DD/DDR-881), USS Francis Marion (APA-249), and the Polaris submarine Thomas A.

In it, the USS Searaven attempts to save Australian soldiers from Timor Island or, as TV Guide called it, "An American submarine becomes a sitting duck to save 33 Australian soldiers." The episode was from season 1 of the show, episode 36. 

The episode was written by Milton Geiger and stars:
Chet Marshall ...... Cook
Robert Christopher.. Cassidy
Bill Phipps ........ Markeson
Jim Goodwin ........ McGrivey
Dave Ketchum ....... Sykes

Like all the Silent Service episodes, this dramatization was based on fact. USS Searaven (SS-196), a Sargo-class submarine, conducted her third war patrol in the vicinity of Timor Island of the Netherlands East Indies, from 2 April to 25 April 1942. On 18 April, she rescued 32 Royal Australian Air Force men from enemy-held Timor, an act for which two of her officers were awarded the Navy Cross. Five days later, fire broke out in her main power cubicle, immobilizing Searaven completely. Snapper assisted her into port in Australia.

Searaven was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the sea raven, a sculpin of the northern Atlantic coast of America. Her keel was laid down on 9 August 1938 by the Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine. She was launched on 21 June 1939 sponsored by Mrs. Julianna B. Cole, wife of Cyrus W. Cole, Commandant of the Portsmouth Navy Yard ; and commissioned on 2 October 1939, with Lieutenant Thomas G. Reamy in command.

The Silent Service was a documentary styled anthology series about the U.S. Navy's submarine fleet and their missions during World War II and the Korean War.  Every episode was fact based and the realism of the show was elevated by the use of actual combat footage from the files of the United States Navy.

The stories, which varied between the South Pacific during World War II, the Atlantic campaign and the Korean War, were the brainchild of Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers, himself a s...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/92a25660-e84b-4b64-96c5-8f850d42dfe1/0c0aa3e5-eae2-471c-a5ac-8718ba976bf1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/j7cYsLJjtvH31JSQsuKUYH</video:player_loc><video:duration>1569</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T23:39:55.727Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1iMpzXXguc9v5kNj1D8PR9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/95e4c46c-2099-4d2a-a86f-51c0f3a9df9a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL   GEN.

CRASH TESTING PROGRAM    SEAT BELTS &amp; CRASH TEST DUMMY 54864</video:title><video:description>This 1982 color seatbelt safety film is called “Safety Belts and You” and was produced by Ford Motor Company. It was released before the first US seat belt usage requirement law was passed in New York in 1984. Subsequently, the studies and effects referenced in this film helped lead every state but New Hampshire to require seat belt use for adults (still not required in 2018); however, all 50 states requires seatbelt use on those less than 18 years old.  The film begins with shots of destroyed cars in the Ford crash testing junk yard with broken windshields and smashed fenders (0:06-1:00). A crash test dummy is shown sitting in a car, and various sized dressed dummies are shown being adjusted by a researcher (1:01-1:25). Footage of 1950s Ford car crash testing is shown (1:26-1:40), which led to their industry-first move to factory-installed safety belts. Engineers prepare a car for testing, and film the entire process (1:40-1:56). A car crashes in slow motion at 14 mph, and different angles of un-belted dummies crash into the steering wheel, roof, and through the windshield (1:57-2:35). The previous crash test is repeated, but at 22 mph and then again at 31 mph, with more injuries to the dummies shown in slow motion (2:36-2:53). Another high-speed test is performed with two backseat passenger dummies, one belted and the other not, and the results are shown in slow motion of the importance of wearing a seat belt in the back seat (3:54-4:35). Another crash in a small car is performed with all passengers wearing seat belts, and then again in a station wagon and another small car. The results of the test are shown in slow motion, as the belted dummies do not go into the windshields (4:36-5:44). An outdoor rear-crash is performed with belted dummies, and the results are shown in slow motion, once again not going into the windshield (5:45-6:15). A high speed severe crash test is shown at normal speed and then slow motion, with an unbelted dummy flying completely out of...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6269c124-6095-443d-9794-14f9ac9adb88/fb515458-365e-41b8-bfbf-d5a871249aec-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/d9QUDbimcSsUESP87cbcYd</video:player_loc><video:duration>520</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T23:41:47.749Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rPb9Uh3adCtZRDAgbajwyU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/976ef51d-bb77-479f-b8cf-12163846f07b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GERMAN ME-109 &amp; FW-190 FIGHTER PILOT GUN CAMERA FOOTAGE vs. AMERICAN B-17s &amp; P-38 LIGHTNING 45334</video:title><video:description>Dating to 1944-45, these silent films contain a record of Luftwaffe pilot kills over Europe. These kind of "gun camera" films were used both to document and verify kills and probables, but also to assess the techniques used in the dogfights.

The film contains various encounters beginning with an attack by an Fw-190 on a Lagg 5, or Lavochkin La-5 This was one of the Soviet Air Force's most capable types of warplane, able to fight German designs on an equal footing. In this case however the Soviet pilot was shot out of the sky.

At 1:25 is footage of the shoot down of a P-38 Lightning by an Fw-190. At 2:30, a B-24 Liberator is attacked by a Bf-109 / Me-109.  At 3:34, an attack by an Fw-190 on a Boeing B-17. This approach is typical, from the rear and aimed at the engines and tail gunner. At 4:29 and 4:50, 5:19, 5:55, 6:17, more Fw-190 attacks on the B-17. The attack at 7:43 is very close, likely indicating that the tail gun on the bomber was put out of action. Around 7:42 you can see  a large piece of aircraft depart (or possibly someone bailing out through a roof hatch?)  At 7:54, 8:39, 9:37, Fw-190 vs. B-24 Liberator. At 9:56, in an astonishing sequence, a Liberator takes a severe beating and is wracked with explosions of cannon fire. 

The aircraft that were being used in the film are the FW-190 and the Messerschmitt Bf 109. The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 Würger (English: Shrike) is a German single-seat, single-engine fighter aircraft designed by Kurt Tank in the late 1930s and widely used during World War II. Along with its well-known counterpart, the Messerschmitt Bf 109, the Focke-Wulf 190 Würger became the backbone of the Luftwaffe's Jagdwaffe (Fighter Force). The twin-row BMW 801 radial engine that powered most operational versions enabled the Fw 190 to lift larger loads than the Bf 109, allowing its use as a day fighter, fighter-bomber, ground-attack aircraft and, to a lesser degree, night fighter. The Bf-109 was a German World War II fighter aircraft that was the...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d10aae55-4434-4969-8b1d-81cb38d0940c/d7e00cdb-e948-4de6-befe-a1ef2931cbb4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rPb9Uh3adCtZRDAgbajwyU</video:player_loc><video:duration>618</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T23:43:58.621Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/p2zTxDfAj4rbELgCAzUxFs</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/04d0345d-42fc-476c-8814-469c18cb5926.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s VISIT TO KOREA &amp; DUTCH INDONESIA HOME MOVIE FILM   SOUTH KOREA   62374</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

Shot in between 1926 and 1935 by an unknown cameraman, this extraordinary silent home movie shows a visit to South Korea and Indonesia. In Seoul, at this time the Japanese protectorate of Korea, the film shows the Keijo Central Post Office, Gyeongbokgung, Chôsen Jingu, the Honmachi or Toyegyero shopping street. In Dutch Indonesia the areas shown are unclear, but it appears to be shot in Yogikarta. Some native dances are shown as well as volcanic Mt. Merapi and Merbabu. 

0:09 Card:  The film opens in Seoul with shots of rickshaws, possibly near the Gyeongbokgung palace wall. Rickshaws were imported to Korea in 1883 and remained one of the principal means of transportation until 1945, despite their 'foreign' and 'Japanese' image and several uprisings in the then-occupied country which led to the partial destruction of the rickshaw carriages.

The systems allow engagement from standoff range. Cannons are fired using helmet mounted sights, and photographs shot using a high resolution camera. Throughout the simulated engagement the aircraft is in constant contact with a command base. At 4:22, a TOW missile is fired at an enemy tank. At 4:39, SIGIT electromagnetic intelligence informs the aircraft crew of the position of an enemy target. At 5:17, the pilot is able to report the position of the target to its base. At 6:23, artillery is fired at the enemy target and it is destroyed. 

The film ends with a "pitch" -- to modify the existing AH-56 Cheyenne to create this wonder weapon. At this time the AH-56 program was in disarray and the proposal was not adopted. The Cheyenne was killed off a short time later.

The Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne was an attack helicopter developed by Lockheed for the United States Army. It rose from the Army's Advanced Aerial Fire Support System (AAFSS) program to field the service's first dedicated attack helicopter. Lockheed designed the Cheyenne using a four-blade rigid-rotor system and configured the aircraft as a compound helicopter with low-mounted wings and a tail-mounted thrusting propeller driven by a General Electric T64 turboshaft engine. The Cheyenne was to have a high-speed dash capability to provide armed escort for the Army's transport helicopters, such as the Bell UH-1 Iroquois.

In 1966, the Army awarded Lockheed a contract for ten AH-56 prototypes, but as a stopgap also ordered the less complex AH-1G Cobra as an interim attack aircraft for combat in Vietnam. The AH-56's maiden flight took place on 21 Sep...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/808bd584-8586-4a42-bdab-5e5fc5fa7592/0be79f1d-c093-4c08-b9ee-5075fd6b7814-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gSEeSb47sER7WWW7du4tm7</video:player_loc><video:duration>461</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T23:47:01.972Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iox7dfF8bdwinQjq1vpSW4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c690bc24-b4cd-4899-a7ba-c566b774030b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YOUR CAREER IN HOTEL MANAGEMENT 1956 EDUCATIONAL FILM   88154</video:title><video:description>This color film, Your Career in Hotel Management, was filmed in 1956 by Rarig Film Productions, with Modern Learning Aides as distributor, and with Dwight Robinson as narrator.

The film opens with scenes of California’s breathtaking landscape, including Burney Falls (00:29), Mt. Shasta, the great Redwood Forests (00:57), and mountain slopes covered in wild flowers. One of the state’s greatest places for outdoor recreation is Lake Tahoe (01:27), the largest freshwater lake in California. People come here for water sports and to ski the incredible snow. Snow falls in massive quantities throughout the Sierra Nevadas, and the mountain passes must be cleared by powerful rotary plows (01:48). Cruising along the Sacramento River on steamboats (02:05) is a popular activity, but so is a visit to Yosemite National Park (02:19). One of California’s best areas to visit is the Monterey Peninsula (02:35), reminiscent of Italy’s Bay of Naples. In Monterey, people enjoy the scenic Midway Point, the areas fine resort hotels (03:17), and the old Carmel Mission (03:35). Not far from Monterey is Salinas, home to wild rodeos where people from all over the west come to compete. Santa Barbara (04:58) is a lovely beach town with beautiful beaches and the best preserved mission in California. Santa Barbara does as good a job as any place in California in preserving the state’s Spanish heritage—traditional Spanish dancing and music are omnipresent in the coastal town. Visitors wishing to experience Mexican culture go to the Avila Adobe (06:21) near the Mexican Quarter of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is also home to Hollywood (06:47) and Beverly Hills. The Motion Picture industry (07:18) allows visitors to Hollywood to also see places like old France with the surreal movie sets. The film also showcases other highlights of California, including the popular waterskiing destination Lake Arrowhead (07:40), fruit production (08:05), Red Rock Canyon (08:27), the White House Cliffs at Palm Springs (08:37), and Santa Catalina I...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c4b7d10c-db7b-4fe6-b386-1393ed682be1/da348504-a6ae-40e8-9ca9-4168a0176cb7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qhUT3eKxGzKeFsnUmg5CCr</video:player_loc><video:duration>590</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T23:52:46.550Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vmRzQYmhDLiEXfvLuaRzBv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c3e5403c-753c-4efe-9f50-7dc38d4541ad.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BOEING AGM-69 SHORT RANGE ATTACK MISSILE  SRAM  NUCLEAR AIR TO SURFACE MISSILE  62394</video:title><video:description>This promotional film for the Boeing AGM-69 SRAM, or Short Range Attack Missile, dates to the early 1970s. The film starts with images of a Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile (:37), a Minuteman ICBM (:57) and the B-52 strategic bomber at (1:10). At 1:31, Soviet surface to air missiles are seen targeting the B-52. The solution to the problem is the SRAM, a stand-off strategic weapon which can destroy enemy SAM sites. The SRAM can be used with the B-52 and the F-111. At 2:27 animation shows the use of the SRAM and shows its various roles, including a penetrating role that allows the B-52 to hit prime targets. At 3:00 the entire missile system is shown. The animation also shows the missile systems including nuclear warhead at 3:30, although only in the most generic way. At 4:17, production of the SRAM is shown at Boeing and at manufacturers in 39 states. At 4:46 a finished missile is packaged for shipment. At 5:10 the missile is shown delivered to Strategic Air Command. At 5:44, a training payload is shown being installed on the weapon. At 6:00 a rotary launcher for use on the aircraft is shown, and at 6:15 it is shown mated to a B-52G. At 6:23 a test of the weapon is shown, including POV type shots of the weapon in flight. At 8:10, launching of the SRAM is shown from on board the B-52 (the music at this point is eerily similar to that used in "Dr. Strangelove" BTW!) 

The Boeing AGM-69 SRAM (short-range attack missile) was a nuclear air-to-surface missile. It had a range of up to 50 nautical miles (93 km; 58 mi), and was intended to allow US Air Force strategic bombers to penetrate Soviet airspace through the neutralization of surface-to-air missile defenses.

SRAM was designed to replace the older AGM-28 Hound Dog standoff missile which was tasked with the same basic role. Hound Dog was a very large missile that could only be carried in pairs by the B-52, so some aircraft were tasked with suppressing Soviet missile and radar sites while others would carr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/edc27416-b4d8-475f-bfce-18ba991955e7/73ea6839-732f-45be-b109-97cb4230aeb8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vmRzQYmhDLiEXfvLuaRzBv</video:player_loc><video:duration>568</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T23:53:12.129Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xkh3B38oSfoSGXZR8v1g4q</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a2ddd8be-6dd9-4059-a7d5-e5f410b3d69e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ARMY NAVY SCREEN MAGAZINE #47   MASSACHUSETTS SHORE LEAVE    GERMAN POWS IN MOSCOW  52874</video:title><video:description>Army-Navy Screen Magazine, Issue No. 47 is a “pictorial report from all fronts from the armed force” and produced by the Signal Corps’ Army Pictorial Service in the 1940s under the supervision of director Frank Capra. The first segment of this issue is “Massachusetts Shore Leave,” which follows Walter Burke during his leave as he returns home to Marblehead, Massachusetts. The segment begins with a shot of bus 127 (00:40) traveling from Boston to Marblehead. After twenty months at sea, Walter and a shipmate step off the bus at Marblehead (01:17), and walk to Walter’s home. Walter’s family warmly greets the two men, as countless families have greeted returning sailors over the last three centuries. The film follows the Burkes as they go to church at St. Michael’s, chat with a local captain about the Cruiser of Marblehead, and sit down for the family Sunday dinner. Like many other residents of Marblehead, Walter’s father goes to work at the shipyard (06:42) to help build Navy ships. 35,000 men and women work in Marblehead’s shipyards building LSTs, launching three ships each week. Walter observes some men welding (07:36) steel sheets for the ships and the launching of a ship (08:11), LST number 959. The second segment is “Moscow Parade,” which shows Russian soldiers marching German prisoners of war through the streets of Moscow (09:28). 57,000 Germans from a number of German divisions, including the famous 27th Panzer Division and the 65th Infantry Division, march in silence to the rail yards (10:40) to be transported to prison camps. The people of Moscow watch quietly, and water trucks follow the procession (12:42), “washing away the last trace of their march.” The final segment of Issue 47 is “By Request,” which responds to the requests of U.S. servicemen sent in to the Army-Navy Screen Magazine office (13:17) in New York City. The first request is from Private Anthony Luca of the 670th Topographical Company, who requests to his son bowl at his former bowling alle...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fdbc516f-9d3c-4182-949d-bb16af585fd2/f60bf626-8693-417b-86eb-d68692880175-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xkh3B38oSfoSGXZR8v1g4q</video:player_loc><video:duration>1061</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T23:56:06.528Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/haVhVLZCdoG2RSEM29Rkda</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/495bfd4b-cb09-4999-a38e-14b1cba64f65.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NOMADS OF THE JUNGLE  1948 MALAYA EDUCATIONAL FILM  32704</video:title><video:description>The 1948 episode “Nomads Of The Jungle (Malaya),” part of the educational film series The Earth and Its Peoples, directed by Victor Jurgens and produced by Louis de Rochemont Associates, follows a nomadic tribe in the jungle of the Malay Peninsula and captures nomadic life through the eyes of the chief’s son Alune. The film begins with a description of the peninsula and the jungle, then introduces the nomadic people (01:14) that the story is based on. Alune narrates the story, and explains aspects of nomadic life to viewers. The tribe is on the move, looking for a new camp—crossing rivers (02:15) and bushwhacking their way through dense foliage. Once they find a suitable place for camp, they use bamboo (02:45) and palm leaves (03:17) to create shelters. They unpack their belongings, and then the women go collect wild vegetables (04:22), including wild yam. Bamboo is used to transport water from the river, as well as to make water storage tanks (05:05). Children drive fish upriver to be netted for dinner (05:45). Like bamboo, banana tree leaves have many uses, including “refrigerating” the newly caught fish (07:00). Women make bread from palm trees (07:12), wrapping dough with banana leaves and placing them into bamboo tubes to be put onto the fire to bake. After sunset, after everyone has finished eating, the men make blowguns and darts (10:29) tipped with poison from the sap of the Epo tree. While men make weapons, women weave baskets to haul goods for trading. The next day, the blowguns are cleaned and polished, and the they are tested. The hunting party goes into the jungle (12:38), building bridges over rivers that they cannot wade across (13:00), and kill an adult monkey for food while taking the baby monkey to trade. Alune makes a simple bamboo cage to house the baby monkey (15:25). The tribe also collects wood to trade. Once enough goods are collected, men make rafts (16:41) to float down to the trading post. Rafts are only used to float downstream; the tr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/82f4c137-d039-41b2-ac34-88e8fcc29475/a04e98b1-6a2f-4c93-bc16-acf31acf256d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/haVhVLZCdoG2RSEM29Rkda</video:player_loc><video:duration>1332</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-08T23:59:48.627Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gA5op23ZHoUFA9GLTLsswd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0d56a9bc-5bf0-4725-81b1-c70043cdddb7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s CALIFORNIA EDUCATIONAL FILM    THIS LAND OF OURS CALIFORNIA  60874</video:title><video:description>“California” is the second episode in the 1940s motion picture series This Land Of Ours, from Carl Dudley Productions. The episode gives viewers an overview of the “Golden State.” California is a diverse state, boasting the nation’s tallest point—Mt. Whitney (01:11)—and the nation’s lowest point—Death Valley (01:23). El Camino Real (01:33) is an old pathway of Hispanic missions that connects San Diego in the south to Sonoma in north. The state’s wild gold rush days are commemorated with a statue of the man who ignited the rush, James W. Marshall (02:02), and placer mining machines continue to mine for gold today. The state’s capital building in Sacramento (02:30) is one of the oldest in the country. The state’s oldest city, however, is San Diego (03:05). North of San Diego is San Francisco, a bustling metropolis with a busy port, cable cars, and the famous Golden Gate Bridge (03:16). Los Angeles (03:54) is one of the most populated cities in the U.S. It is home to world-class institutions of higher education, including UCLA (04:14) and USC (04:21). USC and its LA Memorial Coliseum draw huge crowds each year (04:41) for the annual “Tournament of Roses.” With its diverse climate and geography, California has the natural resources to be self-sustaining if need be. The great Central Valley and its two major rivers, the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers (05:09), provide incredible irrigation and soil conditions to produce all kinds of fruits. Citrus fruits are grown throughout the southern part of state, while Imperial Valley (05:39) has been transformed into rich agriculture environment. Livestock (06:00) is another major industry in the state and source of food. Mining is still common and lucrative, but oil is now the most profitable (06:14).

It was sponsored by Youngstown Kitchens and produced by Jam Handy. Actors Constance Ford and Donald Curtis play the main two characters. The scene opens with an executive signing papers at his desk and pacing holding a file. His trademark statue of a woman holding a bow and arrow talks to him and magically turns into a real woman (:37-5:00). Her first trip is on American Airlines, followed by a passenger steam train (5:01-5:12), and Eastern Airlines (5:20). Two different store fronts for a Youngstown Kitchens are shown at (5:15) and (5:30). A woman types on a vintage typewriter (6:14). A hand drawn sketch of a kitchen is shown (6:18). Demonstration techniques require a complete Youngstown kitchen display with a working Mullins Jet Tower dishwasher with an electric sink (8:06-8:40). A table has a complete service for six (9:08). The steps for demonstrating are written on a blackboard (9:48-11:15). The actual step-by-step process is shown on how to pre-clean the dishes and load them and silverware into the racks of the dishwasher (11:22-16:10). The dishwasher is turned on and the spinning action shown (16:14-16:24). The lid pops open (18:07). Back in his office, the businessman perches on his desk and the woman sits in his chair (18:49-19:10). The two next approach a handsome salesman in a Youngstown Kitchens display (19:13-21:30). A hand loads dishes down into the rack (21:36). The salesman pours detergent from a metal container with a handle into a measuring cup (23:10-23:30). The top-down spinning action of the dishwasher is shown (23:41-23:45). The salesman points at the hot water booster tank, drain valvue, and timing device (24:01-24:20). The standing brochure is used to point out how the dishwasher works (24:21).  The washing operation spits out water (25:00). The woman returns to being a statue on the desk (26:26).

The film begins with shots of scrap yards full of old cars, and the narrator discusses the problem of scrapping over half a million cars each year that faces Great Britain. Old cars are abandoned everywhere, cluttering roads and polluting the countryside, partially because it is no longer financially worthwhile for scrappers to buy old vehicles. The answer to his problem is Proler. A Proler factory (02:05), where the Proler process of scrapping old cars efficiently is carried out, removes old cars from the community and puts steel back into the steel industry. A Proler plant can reduce a car into pieces of steel in just fifteen seconds. The process has been perfected by the Proler Steel Corporation in the U.S. The Proler process is an automatic process (04:00), where a crane places cars onto a conveyer belt, which moves the cars into a disintegrator (04:50) where the cars are reduced to small pieces of steel, separated from any waste, and compacted into fist-size pieces (05:28) for easy transportation. It takes only a matter of minutes from the time the car is placed on the conveyer belt to when it is turned into high-quality Proler steel. The whole operation is dust free due to a high-efficiency dust collection system (06:08), protecting the surrounding community. The Proler process is so effective that Proler will pay for scrap cars. Special trains provided by British Rail (06:55) will transport Proler steel to steel works facilities. Other forms of light scrap can also be treated by the Proler factory and turned into high quality dense scrap. This means more money for scrappers and less scrap on the streets and in the fields—“everyone will profit with Proler.”

Born in 1917, Sam Proler was the man behind the Proler process. In the mid-1950s, Sam Proler and his family’s scrap company, Proler Steel C...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/480625da-2aa9-4079-a37d-44a96abee683/05d4fe74-fa56-4a4e-96b8-6445b6ada497-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9TQRrcmChnStHttgR4ezTZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>527</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T00:09:47.845Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ixR5jv3wGB7Xac7ghZr2FR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5a6d58ef-2642-4029-ae20-49f1d3def017.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>JEROME ARIZONA GHOST TOWN 1960s SILENT TRAVEL FILM 46774</video:title><video:description>This well-made silent film, was made by Ray Winn, slightly assisted by Ken Mershon. It was shot on a Bolex 16mm camera. Originally intended to be a short film for WGBH, the project was never completed -- although a version with a classical soundtrack was created at one time (it is now lost). The film shows Jerome, Arizona and the surrounding area as it appeared in the late 1960s or early 1970s when it was still considered a ghost town. 

Jerome is a town in the Black Hills of Yavapai County in the U.S. state of Arizona. Founded in the late 19th century on Cleopatra Hill overlooking the Verde Valley, it is more than 5,000 feet (1,500 m) above sea level. It is about 100 miles (160 km) north of Phoenix along State Route 89A between Sedona and Prescott. Supported in its heyday by rich copper mines, it was home to more than 10,000 people in the 1920s. As of the 2010 census, its population was 444.

The town owes its existence mainly to two ore bodies that formed about 1.75 billion years ago along a ring fault in the caldera of an undersea volcano. Tectonic plate movements, plate collisions, uplift, deposition, erosion, and other geologic processes eventually exposed the tip of one of the ore bodies and pushed the other close to the surface, both near Jerome. In the late 19th century, the United Verde Mine, developed by William A. Clark, extracted ore bearing copper, gold, silver, and other metals from the larger of the two. The United Verde Extension (UVX) Mine, owned by James Douglas, Jr., depended on the other huge deposit. In total, the copper deposits discovered in the vicinity of Jerome were among the richest ever found.

Jerome made news in 1917, when strikes involving the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) led to the expulsion at gunpoint of about 60 IWW members, who were loaded on a cattle car and shipped west. Production at the mines, always subject to fluctuations, boomed during World War I, fell thereafter, rose again, then fell again during and after th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8e1da845-0b1c-4971-af61-9306cb96b463/f03ccbae-b214-48c7-a5d4-b8d27428550a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ixR5jv3wGB7Xac7ghZr2FR</video:player_loc><video:duration>1032</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T00:10:31.371Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bYvXdTQisTDVJaY1HfnwyV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0189e282-ef80-4e6f-95ab-c732b6a0c83b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s HOME MOVIE LOS ANGELES EQUESTRIAN CENTER, HOLLYWOOD BLVD., PET HAVEN CEMETERY 33414</video:title><video:description>This silent Kodachrome home movie dates from the 1950s or early 1960s and shows stables at what might be the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank, the Pico House, Hollywood Blvd. at Christmas time (4:55) and Sequoia National Park (5:43). Desmond's department store (8:02) on Wilshire Blvd., the Pet Haven Pet Cemetery (8:30) in Gardena, and a miniature golf course (9:30) are also shown.

M.V. Grifith and C.E. Ranzenberger began Pet Haven Cemetery in 1948. The pair were frustrated by watering restrictions at the Los Angeles Pet Cemetery in Calabasas that kept the grave of one of their beloved family dogs from being covered with green grass.  Griffith and Ranzenberger decided to start their own facility where the grass could be kept as green as they wanted it to be.It is now known as the Los Angeles Pet Memorial Park &amp; Crematorium, the Calabasas cemetery was founded in 1928 and is still in operation. It and Pet Haven remain the only two pet cemeteries in Los Angeles County.

This was the high water mark for the passenger railroads, and just before the nation's airlines forced them to reconfigure their business model. The musical numbers showcase the life-size replicas of transportation and train development. The actors are dressed in corresponding costumes of the time period. This is a John Ott Picture and produced by Lenox Lohr. The show opens with Native Americans singing and walking across the stage with horses and carrying canoes. Father Marquette arrives at Lake Michigan and befriends the Indians. Their pathways become roadways in transporting early settlers (:35-2:28). The Rocket, designed by Robert Stephenson in 1829 in England, was the most advanced steam locomotive of its day (2:29-3:03). He followed that in 1831 with the John Bull (3:04-3:15). The 1831 West Point was the third steam locomotive constructed in the U.S. and built for the South Carolina Railroad (3:16-4:07). Also in 1831, the DeWitt Clinton was the fourth steam locomotive built for service in the U.S. for the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad to operate in New York (4:08-4:30). In 1829, the Tom Thumb was invented by Peter Cooper. It races against a horse-drawn carriage and loses (4:31-5:20). In 1832, the Atlantic was built by Phineas Davis for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (5:21-6:37). The Galena and Chicago Union Railroad used The Pioneer as its first locomotive in 1848 (6:38-7:29). Conestoga wagons take the stage, representing the gold rush west (7:30-9:34). A Wells Fargo stagecoach and the Pony Express are depicted on stage (9:35-10:50). 1861, Abraham Lincoln gives a speech in Springfield and leaves for Washington in a carriage.

It was produced by the United States Navy Special Projects Office and Merit Film Productions. A Polaris missile launches from a submarine (:38-1:25). The USS George Washington moves across the ocean’s surface (1:26-1:45). A man speaks to a small group of military officers about development of the Fleet Ballistic Missile Weapons System, which started in 1955 (1:46-2:53). It required astronomers, mathematicians, chemists, and physicists (2:54-3:06). A table-top model is shown, followed by large-scale simulators and equipment rooms (3:07-3:50). The camera looks down on a nuclear-submarine being built (3:51-3:55). The Polaris also required large-scale research (3:56-4:06). A flight test missile vehicle is shown (4:07-4:12). A safe propellent fuel and the mechanism for launch are tested (4:13-4:30). Various individuals work on components (4:31-4:55). Nuclear-powered submarines shown christened and launched in 1959 are USS George Washington (5:40), USS Patrick Henry (5:55), USS Theodore Roosevelt (6:13), USS Robert E. Lee (6:35), and in 1960, USS Abraham Lincoln  (6:47). Operation Peashooter and Operation Skycatch tested future Polaris capabilities (7:00-7:21), Underwater launches were tested in Operation Popup (7:22-7:40). A successful test launch of a Polaris test vehicle was made in August, 1959 (7:41-8:01), followed by successful land-based launches (8:02-8:40), Another milestone in  April, 1960 was the underwater launch of a test vehicle (8:41-9:00), followed by another in July from the USS George Washington (9:01-9:31).

At 6:00, Admiral Halsey speaks about the Japanese soldier: "He's tough, he's vicious, he's treacherous. As we get further &amp; further towards his homeland he's going to dig deeper &amp; deeper into the hole; and we re going to have to root deeper &amp; deeper to get him out. We have one job to do, and that is to exterminate him wherever he is; and believe me we are going to do the job."

The film is considered a “pictorial document of the fight of Democracy against [Nazi] Invasion.” The film starts with a brief history of Poland’s pre-war growth. Warsaw (1:32) with its old monuments of art and culture is the nation’s growing capital. Modern buildings reveal the nation’s progress as it grows and modernizes. In eastern Poland is the largest forest where men hunt wild boar (02:12), lynx, and fox. Skiing is popular in the Tatra Mountains (02:35). Timber is a major industry, but farming is dominant and employs roughly 60% of country (03:08). The Polish people are deeply religious, and they frequently participate in religious processions (04:13). The development and growth of other major industries result in the creation of new towns (04:36), including Gdynia. The Polish Army marches through streets (05:25) in a military parade—with planes flying in formation and soldiers riding horseback—demonstrating Poland’s military prowess. However, the army is no match for the might of Nazi Germany. Despite non-aggression pacts with Germany and Russia, Adolf Hitler demands territory from Poland. Hitler the gives orders to invade (07:12), and on 1 September 1939, Germany invades Poland. 5,000 Nazi planes bomb Polish towns and bridges during the early phase of the invasion. The German fleet cuts off Poland from rest of world (07:55) and destroys Polish harbors. Warsaw prepares for the impending German assault (08:30), but is overwhelmed by German artillery and air power. Residents of Warsaw take shelter wherever they can as the city is destroyed. Water is gone and the city is on fire, yet Warsaw holds out for several weeks. But as towns and crops are destroyed, the Polish people are in a dire situation: the film shows scenes of decimated buildings and homes, bridges, and people fleeing their destroyed co...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a57b6a0a-ee2f-4c54-bfa2-b8c852c97ed2/ff9a8d54-3123-4482-bc21-8ac796b7d425-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mrcrcL2ijjbgJRXtSMXGb7</video:player_loc><video:duration>1059</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T00:44:12.482Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9QFRsnmxcMzGGE9PSgp2NV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d5be51b8-f939-4e41-ba1e-a9f254119bf6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. AIR FORCE NUCLEAR ATTACK PREPAREDNESS PROCEDURES  ATOMIC WARFARE  27204</video:title><video:description>“Nuclear Attack Preparedness Procedures: Survive to Fight” is a 1968 US Air Force training film dramatizes activities at an Air Force Base following a nuclear attack. As a siren blares, pilots are shown being taken to their aircraft (mark 00:40) while command post operations unfold. An eerie silence follows until a “nuclear flash” fills the screen at mark 02:24 and a fiery mushroom cloud races upward. The narrator explains the sheltered command post personnel review the status of their base and its operational capability, including assessing and reporting damage (mark 03:55), dispatching vehicles, clearing runways, and abandoning some buildings. A flashback series starting at mark 05:18 details some of the work involved in preparing a base for just such a nuclear attack before returning to some of the organized chaos of the exercise near mark 07:00. Medical personnel assist in exposure control and treat patients (mark 10:05) and upon an assessment of radiation, begin radioactive fallout procedures (mark 12:18). Emergency base operations unfold including an order for ramp wash down at mark 15:45 and aircraft return to base before again heading to the skies at mark 21:43.

The aircraft featured appear to be F-101B interceptors. The McDonnell F-101 Voodoo was a supersonic jet fighter which served the United States Air Force (USAF) and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). We haven't been able to determine where these particular aircraft were based -- one tail number appears to be O-7-442 and that should be a great clue!

Initially designed by McDonnell Aircraft as a long-range bomber escort (known as a penetration fighter) for the Strategic Air Command (SAC), the Voodoo was instead developed as a nuclear-armed fighter-bomber for the Tactical Air Command (TAC), and as a photo reconnaissance aircraft based on the same airframe. An F-101A set a number of world speed records for jet powered aircraft, including fastest airspeed, attaining 1,207.6 miles (1,943.4 km) per ho...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/47955ecd-27b0-44bc-9625-82306236b64d/97ef6167-a568-4e71-8563-5969275983a9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9QFRsnmxcMzGGE9PSgp2NV</video:player_loc><video:duration>1371</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T00:47:37.332Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aHxZ7tqQsthfwhgon48CpU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/879db330-aeb3-4fb0-9ba1-3b5402ab2cda.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MAINLINE USA   ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN RAILROADS  1940s HISTORY OF TRAIN TRAVEL  70884a</video:title><video:description>The Association of American Railroads’ 1957 film, Mainline USA, produced and directed by Carl Dudley, is an overview of the industry and its role in the U.S. The film provides a good general overview while featuring a number of shots of train engines and lines, including a Santa Fe FT (04:28), B&amp;O E units, PRR Baldwin Sharknoses, an Alco FA-1 (11:25), and a Rio Grande F. The film opens with shots of iconic American scenes, including the Statue of Liberty (00:52), Mt. Rushmore, the Capitol Building, Yosemite Falls (01:22), and bustling city streets. A Northern Pacific train cruises along its tracks (01:40) as the narrator discusses the importance of America’s railways, including the early days of trains. The film presents a number of industrial shots, including mills, manufacturing complexes (05:13), and automobile assembly lines (02:11), all of which rely on the railroad industry one way or another. The train industry is responsible for initially connecting the vast, rural country. The film continues with various scenes of trains traveling throughout cities and rural areas. One of the major roles the railroads play is to transport goods, including food, clothes, and cars. Trains transport grains and fruits from farmlands to the cities. Other commodities the film shows being transported by rail are coal (05:54) from Pennsylvania and West Virginia, copper from the large copper mine in Butte, Montana (06:06), lumber, cattle, and cotton. Railroads also play a crucial role in transporting Americans; and bustling train stations (07:15) were often the hub of major American cities prior to the 1950s. Modern trains with luxury day cars (07:46), lounge and club cars, and sleeping cars accommodate travelers of every kind. Trains transport people to America’s beautiful destinations, including holiday trips where vacationers ride horses (08:16), fly fish mountain rivers (08:20), enjoy the sun upon sandy beaches (08:22), and marvel at natural splendors like Old Faithful in Yel...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4eaf742a-5661-4ebf-ab56-acd5fa8b2de2/a9acf3af-5441-4470-881e-208d9ab1b302-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aHxZ7tqQsthfwhgon48CpU</video:player_loc><video:duration>882</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T00:49:27.214Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ej9H9Rq43zogoNzWVzGeQV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ebe918dc-8113-4a39-b48e-d5bb573d8703.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NEWS OF THE WORLD 1945  FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL NEWSREEL 30944</video:title><video:description>Created shortly after the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt as a memorial, this silent Official Films newsreel was sold to the home market at stores like Sears and Macy's.  The film begins with footage of FDR visiting a military training camp at :38, and at 1:40 visiting a war production plant.At 3:00 he is shown at the Casablanca Conference with Gen. Giraud and Gen. DeGaulle of the Free French forces. At 3:29 he is shown at the Cairo Conference with Gen. Chiang Kai Shek of the Nationalist Chinese Army as well as Churchill (who is seen smoking) and Stalin. At 4:40 the President visits Hawaii to map out Pacific strategy with Gen. MacArthur and Admiral Nimitz. They are seen again at 6:40. At 7:20 the Bretton Woods Conference is shown and at 7:50 the 4th Inaugural. At 8:45 the film announces the President's untimely death, and shows images of the funeral parade and mourning events. 

The backstory of the President's death is this: in the early afternoon of April 12, 1945 President Roosevelt was in his private cottage at Warm Springs Georgia signing papers and sitting for a portrait painter. Suddenly, he raised his hand to his head complaining of a headache. He then slumped forward, losing consciousness.

At 3:35 PM he was pronounced dead from a massive cerebral hemorrhage. FDR’s sudden death stunned the nation.  The public’s shock was magnified by the fact that Roosevelt had been America’s chief executive for over twelve years. Young Americans had no memory of any other President. The timing of his death, at a moment when victory in World War II seemed at hand, added to the country’s grief.

The President’s body was carried by train back to Washington D.C. Full military honors were rendered in a procession from the train station to the White House. The streets were lined with units of the nation’s armed forces and thousands of grieving citizens. At the White House the casket was placed in the East Room where a private Episcopal Funeral Service was conducted a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6bcf8ed1-098b-4933-b7c8-b31b4eddc759/fe5f7224-f7d3-4ee0-8787-8e7eaf74a962-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ej9H9Rq43zogoNzWVzGeQV</video:player_loc><video:duration>721</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T00:51:53.055Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iMxCRSRGDy5jTYwQK9NaHX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c8d81e6a-f0fa-414c-b7b9-9d79d967fd9d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CAREERS IN CIVIL AVIATION  1970s CAREER GUIDANCE FILM  26604</video:title><video:description>Is A Career In Civil Aviation For You? is a short career educational film produced by Ralph Lopatin Productions in the 1970s. The film opens with scenes of a small jet flying, people working with planes, and people flying gliders, an Air Tractor AT-501 crop duster at :39, a Sky Crane helicopter and other aircraft before the film’s narrator gives a quick overview of the evolution of aviation (00:57). At 1:19 a Boeing 747 takes off. With civil aviation a major industry, employing about 500,000, the need for young men and women to join the industry is increasing. Only a fraction of the men and women in civil aviation are pilots (02:40), but pilots play a critical role in aviation. Pilots fly cargo and people, inspect power lines, and fight wild fires. Some pilots train future pilots. At 2:57, a Lear Jet is shown. Modern pilots must use complex equipment and work closely with ground crews to ensure the safety of their aircraft and crew. In commercial flying, there is a captain, first officer, and possibly a flight engineer. The film goes over the advancement of the first and/or second officers and what their roles are. The other members of the flight crew are the flight attendants (5:00), who deal with the cabin and passengers and are shown cleaning the aircraft and helping passengers. However, most people in the industry do not work in aircraft. Roughly eighty percent of all civil aviation employees work on the ground. At 5:52 a Delta Lockheed L-1011 Tristar jet is pushed back by a tractor. Mechanics (06:08) work for a variety of employers—major airlines, private corporations—and though most remain in the field, they can advance to other positions including lead mechanic, chief inspector, shop foreman, or maintenance supervisor. Air traffic controllers (07:08) regulate airport traffic or regulate flights between airports, and they are extremely critical to the safety of aviation. Every air traffic controller works for the Federal Aviation Agency.

The film opens with the rocky limestone portion of the Sahara and the men around the campfire in the morning (:27-1:15).

It was produced by the Lutheran Laymen’s League in Southern California. Finished, it will be 20’x40’x17’. To begin the float, men weld a set of four truck steering dollies under the front end before lowering a truck engine into the chassis as floats are driven from the rear (1:10-3:20). The float is started for the first time and inspected by the float committee (3:21-4:15). A compressor is used to run a pneumatic hog ring gun to fasten wire mesh over the steel (4:16-6:50). The figures of Christ and the angels are fabricated in the woodshop (6:51-7:35). The head, hands, and feet are carved out of Styrofoam before being attached to the steel frame (7:36-8:43). The figures are then covered with paper soaked in water and coated in a weak paste. Two coats of this Paper Mache is added (8:44-10:45). The wire mesh is sprayed with a cocooning substance developed in WWII for ships. The liquid is blown at high pressure to form a spiderweb film that hardens and is fireproof (10:46-12:10). The figures are mounted onto the float base (12:11-14:17), and the clouds at the base are cocooned (14:18-14:55). Flowers arrive three days before the parade and are unloaded. This float will have 44,000 flowers on it. The flowers are taken off their stems and sorted by color (14:56-15:57). Floral glue is applied and each flower is put into place using a slight twisting motion. The hard-to-reach areas are done first. Scaffolding lets a larger number of people simultaneously work on the float as it is worked on from the top down (15:58-17:45). The figures have individual petals applied, as does the lettering (17:46-19:26). Roses are the last flower to be applied. They are stored in individual vials until the last day, allowing them to open before being applied by piercing the stem through the cocooning (19:27-20:00). Azaleas in pots surround the base of the c...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2e872c7e-faee-4174-936f-9fbfedce3782/8c95bd1f-92b0-46e4-b054-c64c1a5a3833-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6KeMPCDJ5K9Mh8a1eJenCw</video:player_loc><video:duration>1448</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T01:08:55.067Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mvRB8x9ok6BznqFnoAFC1d</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c4073cbf-1cef-4991-801f-c6b2d4d5562b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  ALBERT LEBRUN   U.S. MAIL  CLEVELAND SCHOOL ATTACK   TYPING 55864</video:title><video:description>This black and white film is one of the episodes of "Yesterday's Newsreels", an early 1950s TV show made from the General Newsreel collection.

The film opens with a father taking his daughter to a Chicago Cubs baseball game (00:30), who are hosting the San Francisco Giants. His daughter’s reaction to seeing her first live baseball game, “in color,” causes him to make the decision to buy a color television set. Interviews with people on the street (02:29), who own Zenith products—including a B&amp;E TV Repair employee (02:56), reinforce the quality associated with Zenith. Zenith is the first company to put color signals on the air in Chicago, paving the way for the expansion of color television. The film shows the Zenith assembly plant for its color TVs (04:15), an R&amp;D facility (04:23), and a color tube plant. Zenith provides the best in appearance, performance, and dependability, and the film goes on to reveal how it hits each of those consumer demands. Zenith’s Plant 2 (06:19) manufactures many components used in color televisions, including the super-gold video guard tuner. At Plant 6 (07:40), Zenith hand-crafts chasses, which are critical to a television set’s performance. The film also discusses Zenith’s color demodular circuitry (10:48), the use and production of phosphor and shadow masks, and other aspects of the TV screen’s production. The final test area (17:00) is where Zenith employees ensure the high quality of Zenith’s color television sets. In the sets themselves, the controls are concealed to protect from children but are easy to use (18:56). Zenith also features the state-of-the-art “space command” remote control (19:50).

The film was shot by I. Weiss according to a credit, with additional photography by J.Y. Saunders and F.V. Swanson. The film starts at :28 with large crowds and then at :33 moves to Trafalgar Square, where a sign on Nelson's column says "Give Thanks by Saving" (:53). At 1:02, soldiers shake hands and do a small dance, while at 1:16 women in uniform wave scarves. At 1:22 an Israeli flag is seen. Possibly this denotes a synagogue or a rest house for Jewish military members. At 1:29 "flags of all allied nations" are shown draped on the BBC building. At 2:27 the antennas on top of the building are shown. At 2:40, crowds are seen at Piccadilly Circus.  At 3:00, we're on a rooftop with another newsreel cameraman. At 3:10 an airplane flies overhead. At 3:22 people march in lines. At 3:30 the "rainbow corner" with U.S. and British flags is shown. (During World War II, Rainbow Corner, the American Red Cross Club near Piccadilly Circus in London, was the most famous in the ETO. For 24 hours a day, every day, it was open to American servicemen from 11 November 1942 to 9 January 1946. In addition to extensive recreation facilities and programs, the club offered excellent food service.)  At 4:14, crowds are seen gathering atop a "Savings Certificate" bedecked structure. At 4:24 a car carrying servicemen is shown with a flag being waved. At 4:43, people struggle to get atop the structure. At 5:15,  a card says "Looks like Times Square" due to the incredible crowds. The film ends with some flyovers by aircraft including what appears to be a Dragon Rapide and an American flag waving in the breeze.

It is sponsored by the Caterpillar Tractor Company. An animator serves as the narrator, who spends time looking at the camera talking. It opens with a farm lane leading to a barn. Cattle graze and a large flock of sheep create dust as they go down a hill (:44-1:07). The animator talks and draws a buggy, hay stack, and a hayseed farmer. He creates a new picture with a 1950s car and handsome farmer (1:57-2:25). He draws the perfect cartoon farm, followed by destruction of that farm due to poor soil conditions (2:50-3:40). The cause is what’s called either the hard pan, plow pan, or plow sole (3:52-4:13). To create that troubled layer under the topsoil, the film shows a colonial farmer spreading seed by hand. The seeds roots go deep because there is no hard pan (4:39-5:38). When it rained, the water seeped deep (6:15-6:30).  Progress happens. Men build an outhouse, house, and barn. The farmer plows the same land over and over, causing the smaller particles to compact at plow depth, creating a hard layer that was reinforced with each plowing (6:45-8:03). Animals also contributed. A herd of sheep, cows, pigs, and chickens walk over the ground, compacting it. The overall result is a thick almost cement-like layer under the topsoil of the farm (8:04-8:45). The effect on plants is that the roots hit the pan, as do worms. The roots grow laterally and fight with each other for room (9:00-10:00). The topsoil is affected as it tries to draw moisture from below, which is blocked by the hard pan. It dris out and blows away. Even when it rains, the hard pan blocks deep absorption and puddles form on top. If there’s a slope, the topsoil runs off. Terrace farming doesn’t prevent this due to the hard pan (10:18-11:25). The answer is to break up the hard pan into smaller chu...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3facbb2a-a5f8-4d2d-b971-cd098e77ae17/7bb59a92-f263-4160-926a-c8fbf5e03ae8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8S3xWXTaXQT4pWwyd83AFZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1152</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T01:22:32.192Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3kYwZJmY9Sn9mkdcmse8e3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d5141ff8-640a-4d68-88e0-74c539066444.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>AIR FRANCE 1960s WEST AFRICA TRAVELOGUE MOVIE  FLYING HOLIDAYS " SAFARI "62124</video:title><video:description>This early 1960s color travelogue film about hunting in French West Africa is part of the Air France “Flying Holidays” series and directed by Jack Sanger.

FILM   SAFEGUARDING MILITARY INFORMATION w/ EDDIE BRACKEN &amp; GINGER ROGERS 79244</video:title><video:description>Created by the U.S. Army Signal Corps in the months leading up to Pearl Harbor, and through the Academy of Motion Picture Arts &amp; Science's fledgling "Research Council", SAFEGUARDING MILITARY INFORMATION was shown to U.S. troops in early 1942. It features a truncated notice at the head by Major Gen. Dawson Olmstead, who as Chief Signal Officer during the major portion of World War II presided over a momentous buildup of the Signal Corps. With as budget that grew from nine million in 1941, to more than five billion in 1943, Olmstead turned to both the Signal Corps laboratories and the private sector to meet the demands of total war.

The film features Hollywood actors and sets, and includes such stars (uncredited) as Eddie Bracken, Ginger Rogers and Walter Huston. The film opens with an explosion aboard a ship in port, caused by a saboteur (1:45) and has a great special effect shot to boot. At 2:27, the film warns that "a careless word, a harmless boast" could cost the lives of the innocent and that "thoughtlessness breeds sabotage." At 3:00, a sailor played by Bracken is shown on the phone with Rogers (3:31) making remarks which are overheard by a spy who eavesdrops on him with a hidden microphone (4:00). These are heard in turn by men at 4:50 who relay information directly to the enemy -- who then notify a U-boat seen at 5:00 of the position of a merchant convoy. At 5:56 a military officer played by Huston speaks about the concept of "loose lips sink ships". Military plans should not be discussed openly.  

At 7:00, military men are shown on leave, bowling at a bowling alley. At 7:20 a civilian asks questions that put a soldier on guard. At 7:48, the man is reported and at 8:00 taken away for interrogation. At 8:40 a mother proudly speaks about her son, and reads a letter which divulges secret information. Hours later at 9:00 a newsroom is seen where an editor learns that a terrible accident has befallen a train. At 9:30, the headline screams "hundreds die in tra...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/20922afb-03f2-4bbe-a709-96b02c9e73f1/3c77e019-fef9-48a1-b6d8-9b8f262047d5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/52h1RRjwd4dbzcRNfz1cv4</video:player_loc><video:duration>679</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T01:36:59.767Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jpyiE2e1ZkJmNzD7X3RLaM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6c49ab10-a522-4444-85f4-a0bc63f43de1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>AIR FRANCE  SUD AVIATION CARAVELLE PASSENGER JET AIRCRAFT PROMOTIONAL FILM 62014</video:title><video:description>This 1960 color film was produced by the Societe Nouvelle Pathe Cinema and directed by Jean-Jacques Languepin.

The short film discusses the transformation of energy and how work is produced using the various sources and transformations of energy. The film opens with footage of natural landscapes while the narrator discusses how everything is some form of energy. This is the same with cities, cars, bridges and more (film shows corresponding shots of city skylines, trains, streets bustling with cars, bridges, and an ocean liner). The film discusses energy transformations, where potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, using a mechanical pile driver (01:10), dam (02:17), dynamite (03:10), and radiant energy (03:44) as examples. A train (04:14) shows the both the transformation of mechanical energy and wasted heat energy from friction. This same concept is demonstrated using an apparatus that uses friction to heat water. Two other examples of the transformation of power are the use of a lever and pulley. While machines have replaced traditional sources of work from man and horse, machines must derive their energy from natural resources like oil (08:22) and coal, which derive their energy from solar power. The film concludes that in the future, there will likely be a need to harness the sun’s power from the potential energy of wind and water as current natural resources are depleted.

The film was directed by Julian Spiro and produced by James Carr, with cinematography by Kenneth Reeves and underwater photography by Paul de Roubaix.

The film opens with shots of a floating oil rig designed to extract petroleum from the deep sea near the new Umm-Shaif Oil Field
adjacent to the United Arab Emirates. The Umm Shaif Oil Field is an oil field 84 km north west of Abu Dhabi Islands. It was discovered in 1958 and developed by Abu Dhabi Marine Areas Ltd, a joint venture between British Petroleum and Compagnie Française des Pétroles (CFP—later Total). The oil field is now operated and owned by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. The total proven reserves of the Umm Shaif oil field are around 3.9 billion barrels (550×106tonnes), and production is centered on 300,000 barrels per day (48,000 m3/d). 

At 2:00, underwater shots show the apparatus used as a platform for the oil rig. At 3:00, the negotiation is shown with the local authorities to obtain permission for the extraction. At 6:40, the building of a jetty and industrial area to serve as an oil depot is shown. At 7:10, a floating barge is placed into position. At 7:24, the drilling platform which was built in Europe is towed out to sea sea before arriving in the Persian Gulf. At 10:20, crops are raised with water pumped using energy from the hydrocarbons. In this way the oil can change the way of life in Abu Dhabi in ways that it has not changed in thousands of years. At 13:00, an on-shore radio station communicates with the offshore oil platform. At 13:44, operations on board the platform are seen, going on all day and all night. At 16:20 pipes are shown allowing oil to be placed on board waiting tankers or sent to land via pipeline. At 17:14 a pipeline is laid in concrete and then at 18:45 placed underwater to service the offshore rig. At 20:33 the finished jetty is...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/eee0e0a6-e20a-4306-81e3-adace4d50d3b/939c62ac-3ba6-4e35-acac-fd88e31e78df-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vuSmrU56y2K9BtvKx4yzdg</video:player_loc><video:duration>1353</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T01:54:08.584Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8FEU5zN7M4b4cKHjaoiHjP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/062ba69f-fc5d-4fac-b555-c1f439df2250.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NEW OIL TANKERS FOR ESSO OIL COMPANY FLEET, HAITI, OIL MULCH, HEATING OIL    60974</video:title><video:description>This black and white silent film “The World of Oil” was presented by Esso and is in segments.

It was directed by Frederic Dumas who met the pair in 1937. The film was shot in 1941, and its production did not benefit from the SCUBA breathing system that Cousteau would develop and use later in his career. To shoot the underwater scenes a special depth-pressure-proof camera case developed by mechanical engineer Léon Vèche (engineer of Arts and Métiers and the Naval College) was utilized. The film shows underwater fishing in the Mediterranean Sea and was one of the films to first reveal to the public life underwater. At the time it was made, the four men involved in the production -- Cousteau, Veche, Dumas and Talliez, pooled their money together to make the film a reality. One can only imagine how difficult it was given wartime restrictions on movement and the scarcity of film stock, etc. during the Occupation. The film premiered on April 12, 1943 at the Palais de Chaillot , before the Vichy government officials and officers of the Kommandantur.

At 1:35, the Israeli cabinet is seen emerging from an emergency meeting at military headquarters. Golda Meir addresses a camera crew at 2:40, telling them to film the assembled soldiers. At 3:00, an Israeli tank is seen on the move and at 3:09 Moshe Dayan is seen, probably in the Sinai. At 3:30 explosions are seen from artillery fire. Abandoned anti-aircraft missiles are seen. At 4:14, more Israeli tanks are seen and at 4:35 large mobile artillery pieces are put into action. At 5;25 an Israeli jet streaks overhead. At 5:30, a group of civilians entertains soldiers with a song. At 6:12 Israeli tanks and personnel carriers are seen while at 6:23 soldiers prepare a camouflage net. Shelling of enemy positions continues from mortars. According to the announcer this fire is inside Syria and directed against Iraqi forces about four miles distant. At 8:00, an Syrian bunker is occupied by Israeli troops. At 8:30, a wounded Israeli female civilian is interviewed in her bed. She lost her baby in the seventh month of pregnancy during the initial Arab attack. 

The Six-Day War, also known as the June War, 1967 Arab–Israeli War, or Third Arab–Israeli War, was fought between June 5 and 10, 1967 by Israel and the neighboring states of Egypt (known at the time as the United Arab Republic), Jordan, and Syria.

In the period leading up to June 1967, tensions became dangerously heightened. Israel reiterated its post-1956 position that the closure of the straits of Tiran to its shipping would be a casus belli. In May Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser announced that the straits would be closed to Israeli vessels and then mobilised its Egyptian forces along its border with Israel. On 5 June Israel launched what it claimed were a series of preemptive airstrikes against...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a91a886b-738e-462e-a22f-e064bb026693/0d2e2d61-74a9-4c70-831c-d248031a0279-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mT8Qk6ACUW32WA4aNRVRUg</video:player_loc><video:duration>613</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T02:04:27.066Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5CkTSbByY5Nx5iKK5iEk1t</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bcea4409-ac99-4dce-a3ac-79b9246dd492.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>REPUBLIC AVIATION SD-3 SNOOPER DRONE FLIGHT TEST PROGRAM FILM PART 1 79204</video:title><video:description>This historic, silent film from Republic Aviation shows the development of the company's ill-fated SD-3 Snooper drone. A second film PF# 54484 is also available. The film begins with shots of a slide rule and a drafting table (:42), as the drone is designed. A so-called breadboard model of the flight controller is seen at :51, and a circuit board is shown at 1:14, part of the guidance system. At 1:30 a large analog computer mainframe is shown being used to analyze data. At 1:39, a woman engineer is seen operating the computer system. At 4:58 the small flight controller package is seen.At 2:25 another breadboard is seen for the decoder. This electronic package is seen in its final form at 3:00. At 3:37 tests of actuators are performed at Republic. At 4:00, drone wing panels are seen being assembled. At 4:10 the airframe is assembled. At 4:40, parachute recovery system tests are shown, these were apparently shot on a rocket sled with a high speed camera. At 5:30 landing bags, a fairly unique feature of this drone, are tested. Final assembly of the drones is seen at 6:16. At 6:40, the drone's engine is test started and at 6:53 a fully painted version emerges from the Republic hangar. 

The SD-3 was the result of an industry-wide competition for a short-range reconnaissance drone that could be launched in the field. The complete drone system including ground equipment designated AN/USD-3 and the drone itself was referred to either also as AN/USD-3 or simply as SD-3 (with "SD" usually being interpreted as "Surveillance Drone"). Some literature also refers to it as "Peeping Tom". It was intended to have a range of 100 miles, be capable of launch from a JATO powered zero-length launcher, and weigh 1000 pounds.

Testing was star-crossed, with the vehicle crashing on its initial flights due to a design flaw with the oil system. Eventually the drone did make a series of successful flights but the program was cancelled and the Snooper was never deployed.

It was produced by The Signal Corps in collaboration with The Army Air Forces. The B-24 was an American heavy bomber produced between 1940-1945. The film opens with shirtless men getting a lung exam, a track meet, and a diagram of the heart’s pumping system (:22-1:00). A diagram of the B-24 shows the 12 self-sealing fuel cells, the auxiliary fuel cells, fuel transfer unit, fuel pumps, and the shut-off valves, (1:02-1:35). Men are on scaffolding working on the plane (1:36-2:00). Every 50 hours, the carburetor screen is removed, cleaned, and replaced (2:01-2:35). The throttle shaft bearings are oiled (2:36-2:50) and the main fuel strainer is removed, cleaned, and replaced (2:51-3:55). The fuel line is inspected for leaks by first turning on various switches in the cockpit, shown up close. The hose clamps are checked, as is a visual check of the hose (3:56-5:04). More switches are turned to inspect the primer at the manifold, oil dilution, and fuel selector (5:05-6:15). Clearance tests are performed on the bucket wheel and the cooling cap reset (6:16-7:30). The entire supercharger is checked, including the regulator (7:31-8:45). The intercooler is checked as more switches in the cockpit are shown (8:46-9:15). For the oil system, check the oil cooler, air duct, oil supply tank, supporting straps, decoy line, and vent lines (9:16-10:30).

The film begins with Dana Andrews (famous 1940s actor) describing the need for the youth of the world to invest themselves in agriculture and food production in order to meet the growing demands of feeding the world. Andrews explains that IFYE is a great way to engage young men and women throughout the world to do this. The film then moves to India, where it follows the film’s narrator, Richard Hawkins. Rural India (02:26) is dominated by agriculture, but most people operate small farms and work the land using traditional equipment and methods. Hawkins explains that IFYE sends young Americans to countries throughout the world, while those nations send their youth to America, so everyone can learn from each other and build a better future. The American group in India visit with Indian officials (03:39), before going “home” to their host families (04:35). Hawkins and his fellow Americans experience Indian life through the exchange; one of the American women dresses up (05:24) in traditional Indian clothes. The IFYE men and women travel through the provinces, introducing people to modern ideas in farming and discussing how communities can work together to create change. The Americans learn recipes from Indians, but they also introduce their Indian hosts to their own favorite American dishes. Hawkins observes a stick plow (07:02) drawn by cattle, then shows the Indian men how to use a tractor to plow. IFYE members also present modern techniques of irrigation, livestock production, fertilizing, and poultry farming to the communities they visit. Progress is slow in India, according to Hawkins, given that most farmers only have an acre or two to farm. While India’s young generation is looking to change and modernize s...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0832f860-29f4-49f9-9f32-d9b81cfb45b5/7bf5e2fe-35f3-4616-9d2d-ae400b9c0938-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/21HV7UnpPgk732bnq9xgo6</video:player_loc><video:duration>1081</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T02:18:34.976Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wjEmSEj7VYF5VBd61e2XBR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0646e665-1036-4b29-9d90-0bb939e5be54.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1890s VIEWS OF NEW YORK CITY,  SAN FRANCISCO &amp; FAMED PERSONALITIES INCLUDING TEDDY ROOSEVELT 40384</video:title><video:description>This 1940s black and white “Gay Nineties Live Again” was produced by Castle Films as part of the “Old Time Movies” series.

The were based on fact and the realism was heightened by actual use of combat footage from the files of the Navy. The stories were varied between the South Pacific during World War II and the Korean War. The series was the brainchild of Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers, who retired from the Navy in 1949 after 22 years service and introduces this episode.

This episode stars Richard Deacon, James McCallion, Mark Tapscott, Paul Carr, Wally Richard, David Whorf, Baynes Barron and Leonard A. Mazzola.

The episode is set in December 1942 aboard the USS Seadragon (SS-194) and the viewer is given a brief history of the vessel and how it came under attack by Japanese depth charges. Running out of air and with a Japanese sub trailing them, the captain gives the order to surface at mark 07:45 and to prepare to fire. On the surface and firing torpedoes at a Japanese vessel at mark 09:45 and take fire in return but successful elude the enemy. At mark 13:05, some of the officers question why their skipper didn’t stay and fight rather than turn from the battle, only to learn at mark 14:00 of his plan to take the sub into Rabaul Harbor in Papua New Guinea, where the Japanese have a naval installation and have based their subs. “No doggone Japanese sub is going to shoot at my boat and get away with it!” the skipper tells his men. 

After locating and firing on the sub at mark 17:15 the Seadragon falls under attack from an enemy bomber, jamming a live torpedo in her firing tube. Dropping to 150 feet the captain realizes they can’t surface and they can’t run because the vibration may detonate the torpedo, so he decides to use a blast of air to jettison it from the tube. The idea was successful (mark 22:23) and though the blast damaged the sub the crew was able to save  themselves and the ship.

It was produced in Mexico by Soviet film director Sergei M. Eisenstein and by “special arrangements with Upton Sinclair.” It opens with views of Mexico’s desert, two smiling caballeros, and castle fortresses (:22-1:00). A Creole cowboy with spurs sits sideways on a horse, two men wrapped in serapes take a siesta under a giant maguey (also known as agave, century plant, and American aloe), and a man in a straw hat extracts maguey juice from a gourd (1:01-1:22). The hacienda is guarded by armed men. The band of one’s hat is tight under his bottom lip and the other under his nose (1:23-1:40). Two Creole cowboys relax. One tightens his glove; his jacket is elaborately embroidered (1:41-1:56). The peons, men of mixed or Indian descent, were forced to assemble at dawn and wait to be assigned daily tasks as forced labor. They wear serapes, hold straw hats, and wear leather sandals. They sing as they exit through the guarded large doors, which close behind them (1:57-3:50). In the field, they extract the juice from the large maguey leaves, getting the juice flowing by mouth and then pouring it into a bucket. The juice can be fermented to produce pulque or mezcal tequila, which a guard is shown drinking (3:51-4:20). Two teenage peon girls are shown. A peon couple must ask the hacienda owner to be allowed to be married. Sometimes he says yes. To one, he says no and the young man is thrown down the steps by the guards (4:21-6:00).

It was produced by the Agricultural Research Department of Swift &amp; Company. This company began in 1904 and was located in the Fort Worth Stockyards. Fires destroyed the plant in 1971. The film opens with a scan of meat for sale in a store to a map of the U.S. with meat packaging plants (:08-:59). Before meat packaging plants, a farmer carries a carcass to town to sell to a butcher (1:00-1:33). The carcass is diagrammed for where each type of cut comes from: chuck, rib, loin, round, shank, plate, and flank (1:34). Only the cuts locally liked are paid well, the rest are sold at a reduced price (1:35-2:04). The diagram shows that in another town, the reverse cuts are locally liked. The meat packer’s job is to see that all of the meat cuts are sold for the highest price by distributing them among towns. The farmer then makes more money (2:05-3:08). The meat packer studies the local customs and meat preferences for each area in the country (3:09-4:15). Different parts of the country purchase different weights, a factor the meat packer must include when buying cattle (4:16-6:15). Other regional factors include taste, buying power, weather, and religious beliefs (6:16-6:25). For taste, heavier animals produce fattier cuts; lighter produce lean cuts (6:26-7:02). When it’s hot, the housewife in her apron in the film wants to cook meats that don’t heat the kitchen up. When it’s cooler, she spends more time cooking in the kitchen (7:03-8:12). Weather keeps housewives indoors and not shopping at the butcher (8:13-8:24). Religious beliefs heavily influence meat buying, and fish is more prevalent on certain days and during certain times. A well-dressed fish smoking a cigar struts across the ocean bottom. Some religions don’t eat pork (8:25-9:00). These factors combined created the national marketing system of the meat packer. As a result, live...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dd831339-4ffa-4262-a682-a1ff413a6fe8/251ff562-8ae8-4cb1-97c3-0c31989e3a0f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tmujR9yKyVFFsG5nk3bXpE</video:player_loc><video:duration>588</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T02:47:10.721Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4FmKnF63kompxjTb47V7zG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4839d9c2-bb56-48c2-95e8-7ec7592117bd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1975 U.S. ARMY RECRUITING FILM WITH ED ASNER &amp; TED KNIGHT  27844</video:title><video:description>Ed Asner hosts this 1975 color Army recruiting film, The Army Reports #51, to encourage not letting a lack of education prevent a life-time career with the Army.

The educational collaborator was Lewis Paul Todd, Ph.D., author and former Professor of Social Studies at New York University.  The film’s narration begins in New York in 1840, where the narrator is working as a blacksmith under his grandfather’s watchful eye. The sound of hammer on anvil is heard (:42-1:20). A stagecoach arrives, having lost a rim from a wheel (1:21-1:53). Stagecoaches were also used in the late 1700s. Depicted are men dressed in capes and tri-corned hats (1:54-2:04). Two horses pull an open carriage. Such vehicles caused roads to be built, connecting towns together (2:05-2:20). Back at the blacksmith shop, the boy rolls a wooden wheel with a metal rim, shown up close as a symbol of how these vehicles travelled. The repaired wheel is put back on the stagecoach and the passengers loaded. The driver hands the narrator a letter from his family in Illinois, which asks him to join them (2:21-4:02). He plans his trip on a map by candlelight, pointing out the three major passages he could take from New York to Illinois. He chooses the northern option of following the Erie Canal. His travelling options shown are alone by horseback or travelling with another family (4:03-5:25). The next morning, he hitched a ride on the stagecoach as far he could before setting out to walk the next seven miles (5:26-6:08). At the Erie Canal, a large barge appeared, hauled by a pair of mules. The captain offered him the job of mule boy. This involved guiding the mules along a tow path on the bank (6:09-7:10). Sometimes they had to go through a lock to raise or lower the barge to meet different water heights. The process is shown, and the film says that trip required going through 83 locks. At Buffalo, the Captain shook his hand and the narrator continued on the last 600 miles he had to travel (7:11-8:13). He next got a job as a fireman’s helper on a lake ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a2b3f15d-0fb5-42a0-a8cc-4b31f274a7c3/edb11332-2865-4b36-831f-c0140c0d3b5a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/m6hXyVdv9voAMn56NsocGp</video:player_loc><video:duration>755</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T03:15:17.903Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iDHPWRb57pNw1bsyU5pyh7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c09f7646-d7d6-493e-880c-b303ef1ec754.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1959 U.S. MARINE CORPS RECRUITING FILM    USS RANGER CV-61 &amp; RECON SCOUTS 24994</video:title><video:description>This 1959 black and white Marine Corps recruiting film THREE GUYS CALLED MAC (MH8663) was produced by Jam Handy.

Provence is a geographical region in southeastern France. A map of France opens the film (:40-1:00). The Romans first settled the area. The broken stone columns and seats of the amphitheater are seen in the ruins of the Arles Roman Theatre. Tombs are along the Avenue of the Dead (1:01-2:05). Later buildings used parts of the earlier Roman buildings. This includes the St. Trophime Cathedral, built in the 12th century around an earlier church (2:06-2:20). The granite Arles Obelisk was once part of the Roman circus (2:21-2:42). The architecture inside and out of the St. Trophime Cathedral is shown (2:43-3:07). Camargue is a mostly marsh area located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Rhone delta. Fields of rice are shown and a smiling man with his horse in a field of crops (3:08-3:54). The Provencal Gypsy Festival dates to the 12th century. During it, pilgrimages are made to the Church of Les Saintes Maries de la Mer (3:55-5:00). Camargue is known for black bulls and white horses, which take part in the pilgrimage (5:01-6:00). Celebrating the three Mary’s who legend says landed there, the pilgrims wear costumes representing these women (6:01-6:30). The religious procession winds through the narrow streets, carrying the statues from the Church to the sea. There the Archbishop proclaims a blessing on the sea and the people. The white horses with their riders enter the water and return to the place the three women are said to have landed. The procession returns to the Church to end the festival (6:31-8:25). Aigues-Mortes is a medieval walled city built by King Louis IX as a port of departure for the Crusades. A statue of him stands there overlooking the city, which is panned by the camera (8:26-10:48).

The National Fire Service was formed in 1941 and comprised of men and women. Both wear NFS uniforms. For civil defense purposes, the country is divided into regions and further into divisions and subdivisions, which then control stations. This breakdown is shown on a map and diagramed (:45-3:40). The steps are now shown. The fire call comes in and the fire station bell rung. The firemen pour in, get the location, and dash out to the fire truck (3:41-4:39). The fire woman reports the fire to the control about the subdivision. The two fire women work together: one handles all messages and keeps the occurrence book updated (writing with a fountain pen) and the other is the mobilizing officer sending out trucks and keeping the board up to date. This involves writing the information in with chalk and hanging tags on pegs that represent each appliance (fire truck) (4:40-5:23). A raging fire is shown, with water being sprayed on it (5:25-5:33). Another fire is reported and the fire bell rung (5:34-6:15). The sub-division is now shown. It also has a board that tracks the fires and equipment. As the needs are called in, the mobilizing board is adjusted, and the orders written out and transmitted (6:16-8:24). Fire trucks are shown leaving the station 8:25-8:38). Another large building is shown on fire (8:39-8:56). A secondary control keeps an identical board as the primary control in case it should go out of service (8:57-10:30). At the division, the boards summarize each subdivision and totals for the division (10:31-11:32). A serious fire is shown in progress (11:33-11:48). The mobilizing officers review all input brought in and there is a board kept up to date here as well.  (11:49-13:40). At the regional level, a large map is on the wall and a board tracks all movements. Reinforcement trucks are ordered from other divisions and shown driv...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a18eb866-ec0f-4d35-a8b7-a266c5f3f4f2/852229d9-fe3e-4ea6-a7e3-963c351560e9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kX6a8SMV8RiE5y8hcAy3td</video:player_loc><video:duration>1360</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T03:25:06.530Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rboYhDyUoh9GyyBsVHQmXm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e7b922b3-2c8c-46fe-ac68-19a07c3fbb4f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILROAD   UNIT TRAIN OPERATION  COAL MINING   SUPERTRAIN    42724</video:title><video:description>This profile of Canadian Pacific's "unit train", also known as the Supertrain, dates to the 1980s. The film shows how vast amounts of coal are moved from coal mines in British Columbia to the port of Vancouver and the Superport of Roberts Bank. The film begins as coal is moved through processing plants via conveyer systems, and then stored in silos (:50). Specially designed gondola cars capable of carrying 150 tons of coal each are used. The locomotives are automatically controlled by computer (1:04) as the cars are loaded. Cars are weighed at 1:15 and simultaneously scanned. At 1:44 the train begins its 700 mile journey across the Rocky Mountains and then through B.C. on CP Rail's mainline to Vancouver. At 2:00, robot locomotives are shown operated by remote control in the middle of the train. There are 11 diesel locomotives moving the train, all coordinated through the engineer's cab, for the Rocky Mountain segment of the journey. Later the train reduces to only four locomotives as it approaches Vancouver and the Roberts Bank Terminal.  At 4:30 the train approaches the ocean terminal and into the rotor dumpers where automated machinery takes over. At 5:00, cars are rotated in the dumper and out tumbles 105 tons of coal destined for Japanese steel mills. The entire train of 10,000 tons is unloaded in 4 hours. The entire cycle is 3 days. The cost of the system was $38 million dollars. 

Roberts Bank Superport is a twin-terminal port facility located on the mainland coastline of the Strait of Georgia in Delta, British Columbia. Opened in 1970 with Westshore Terminals as its only tenant, Roberts Bank was expanded in 1983–84, and in June 1997 opened a second terminal, the GCT Deltaport container facility.
Part of Port of Vancouver, Roberts Bank is also known as the Outer Harbour of Canada's busiest port. Westshore is the busiest single coal export terminal in North America and is operated by the Westar Group on a long-term contract. It typically ships over 20 millio...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/cbe80f6c-b361-488f-b06d-2757a56dfe8a/eab45e8d-4157-46f9-9943-618685736ef3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rboYhDyUoh9GyyBsVHQmXm</video:player_loc><video:duration>423</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T03:25:10.569Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pozRwUQBgBFcp7xCajp3nY</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/772e776b-5619-4034-a45f-22b05c69b17e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HISTORY OF GOLD &amp; MINING  FROM MARIE LOUIS XVI TO COMSTOCK LODE 1930s FILM  54874</video:title><video:description>This black and white educational film about gold was produced by Academic Film Company Inc. and adapted from a John Hix “Strange As It Seems” that was originally segment shown in theatres. It was narrated by Robert Sherwood. The film begins with a re-enactment of Louis XVI’s financial woes. Marie Antoinette and Cardinal de Roahn visit an alchemist to make gold to save France but it is a scam (:37-3:30). December 3, 1848, a soldier arrives at a telegraph office in New Orleans with a message to send from Governor Mason to the President. He drops a handful of gold on the desk, proof that California should be admitted to the Union, and the gold rush in on (3:32-4:42). Coloma Valley is shown, where gold was first discovered by James Marshall on January 24, 1848 (4:44-5:03). Mark Twain lived in a cabin at Jackass Hill in the gold town Angel’s Camp (5:04-5:15). Virginia City is shown as a crumbling ghost town (5:17-5:33). The Comstock Lode in Nevada in 1859 yielded both gold and silver ore (5:34-5:49). One mine required a tram line to be built to haul the gold out and supplies back in using buckets as the mountains were too steep for train tracks (5:50-6:32). The Empire Mine in Grass Valley was one of the deepest gold mines in the world. Miners cling to the ore cars as they are lowered into the shaft. The ore is dumped into electric railroad cars and transported to a facility to be treated and the gold recovered (6:33-7:00). There are thousands of feet of railroad also below the surface (7:01-7:13). Another mining method is to use giant dredges to plow their way through the gravel (7:14-7:39). Hydraulic mining is also used by forcing water through large nozzles sprayed on the gravel walls. The runoff is caught by sluice boxes, where the gold sinks to the bottom. It is then passed over plates saturated with mercury to which the gold adheres, forming gold amalgam, which is shown being treated in a furnace (7:40-8:25). This bullion is formed into gold ingots, shown up clos...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bd696a57-9033-47c6-b25e-d2664d03dd1a/8cdadf64-25bf-4012-9bb9-1d4bb30ef97d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pozRwUQBgBFcp7xCajp3nY</video:player_loc><video:duration>562</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T03:26:35.371Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rbqX6tLj7zpdek5uPgj3Vw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/36cdcce5-f610-45bc-b008-d7615f7b910a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM AIRLINES NEW CALDONIA &amp; FIJI ISLANDS TRAVELOGUE MOVIE  46584</video:title><video:description>This 1960s color film about Fiji and New Caledonia is one of a series of Pan Am New Horizons travelogues. The film opens with a Cabin Cruiser boat headed toward New Caledonia. The passengers are in bathing suits (:23-:39). A man drives off the boat and comes up with two lobsters (:39-:58). The boat lands, and the passengers get off for a picnic on the beach. The lobsters are cooked on a grill and a large basket of food is opened and served (1:00-2:50). Noumea is the capital of New Caledonia (3:00). People in 1960s fashions walk by stores. Window shopping includes clothes and French perfumes (3:13-3:30). Fiji was a British outpost in the film; it became independent on October 10, 1970. The changing of the male guard, whose uniforms include skirts, at Government House is shown (3:47-4:10). A native club dance is shown (4:13-5:08). The traffic policeman wears a skirt (5:09). Duty-free shops include a window full of 1960s cameras, transistors, and video equipment, including Canon and Pentax (5:35). Rainbow Reef is popular for its coral reefs, seen through the a glass-bottom boat (5:41-5:59). Divers bring up various coral from which the guide shakes out small fish, a banded sea snake, and a turtle (6:00-7:35).  A woman in a bikini walks onto Castaways Island and sits in the sand (7:45). A man blows a conch horn to signify the start of a picnic meal (8:18-8:40).

In this short film, the focus is on the emerging presence of the Navy in the Arctic Ocean. The film opens with shots of U.S. warships (01:17) as the narrator explains the role the U.S. Navy has in keeping the seas peaceful. The one place still untamed is the Arctic. The Arctic (01:55) poses unique dangers to naval navigation. In order to extend its “command of the seas,” the U.S. Navy establishes experimental bases near the Arctic Circle. Using Navy icebreakers, the Navy brings sailors and scientists to the Arctic to establish the base and explore and study the region. Part of the operation involves the Navy’s research into operational effects of the extreme cold on its ships. The obstacles presented by the ice fields lead to the Navy’s development of new navigation techniques, including using helicopters (04:00) to scout out the best paths through the ice. Ships push through ice, but they are frequently stopped, leading to the use of explosives (05:30) to clear a path to open water. It may take days of fighting through ice to get to open water. Once through the ice fields and in sight of land, the ship’s crew makes for shore aboard landing craft (06:08); transporting men and cargo often takes seemingly countless trips. Once on land, the Navy uses tractors to transport supplies, including oil, which is critical to the use of heavy machines. While the Navy uses heavy machines to move around, the local Inuit people use dog sleds, including Ootah, one of the Inuit’s who assisted Robert Peary’s mission to the North Pole. The Navy prepares for another Arctic mission (08:15), loading special designed trek vehicles onto an icebreaker. Months of planning go into the mission of establishing a naval base in the Arctic. Rough seas (09:48) face the ships as they head to th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e2876adc-5b57-487f-b249-420640930208/38007f11-2056-4ac6-87dc-a606f21fca24-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tYqnQbxPyp9DY7gqjaNRcE</video:player_loc><video:duration>928</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T03:29:51.758Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9gQTeUvnb6L8hUVJjBJKrS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4b035174-05ba-440e-b751-64676e47e691.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1980s HASSELBLAD CAMERAS PROMOTIONAL FILM  "A WORLD OF PICTURES" 53294</video:title><video:description>This gorgeous 1980 color film “A World of Pictures” was produced for famous Swedish inventor and photographer Victor Hasselblad. It is a series of images set to music and is a long advertisement for Hasselblad cameras for Has. It opens with a crowded street of people walking into the camera intermixed with an outdoor book and magazine stand (:06-:40). The bright blue of a Kippah is shown (:32). Closeups are taken of the magazines and the rack is scanned before taking more photos of people passing by (:41-1 :17). The photo in the stall is shown being made. The many sails of a clipper ship pass by, dwarfing the small sailboats beside it (1:18-1:35). A photographer in an Ostermans helicopter takes photos of clipper ships, shown also as still shots (1:36-2:00). Gears turn (2:02-2:07). The harbor is full of sailboats, and the film returns to the magazine rack (2:08-2:25). A woman in a kimono bows, and others walk on the street, intermingled with many pedestrians (2:26-2:43). A hand spins a postcard rack, choosing one for the Rohsska Museum. The carved ivory face from the postcard is now shown up close at the museum. A photographer sets it up to be photographed and more closeups are shown (2:44-4:18).  A woman and a man read on a bench (4:19-4:23). The magazines are shown again, and a cover of men playing cards turns into the cards shown up close in a hand. Money is wagered. The eyes of the card players are closely viewed and the cameraman finishes taking the cover photo (4:24-5:40). More magazines and the camera focuses on the cover showing a jet engine, which is then shown travelling down a runway as the cameraman clicks the shutter. The process is repeated multiple times (5:41-7:08). Photos are taken in a high voltage laboratory (7:09-8:24). Next is capturing a semi-truck cab purposely smashed into a wall (8:25-9:15). Sandhill cranes make their unique squawks as they are filmed (9:16-10:10) and a photo of a chick is shown (10:12).

It opens with Larry Van Nuys broadcasting live from a mobile unit on August 29, 1970 for the first flight of the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 wide-bodied jet from Long Beach airport.  Broadcaster Michael Ryan is in the control tower and actor Art Ballinger is at Edwards Air Force Base (:09-43). Overhead shots are shown of the plane, as are its crew, led by test pilot Captain Clifford Stout (:44-1:26). Van Nuys and Ryan stand and provide additional background information (1:27-2:09). As is customary, the plane is rolled out to the public for the first time. Shown are both Vice President Agnew and Governor Ronald Reagan. Agnew pushes the symbolic throttles forward and the plane taxis into views (2:10-3:00). Ballinger talks about the GE CF6 high-bypass turbofan engines on the plane, which are shown up close and in use on test flights mounted on the wing of a B-52 (3:06-4:00). A mockup scene of the passenger cabin is shown, including the roomy seat arrangements and overhead compartments (5:52-5:26). A stewardess with a large bouffant is shown in the lower deck galley kitchen, from which food is sent upstairs in a dumbwaiter (5:27-5:38).  The ground crew prepares for the plane’s takeoff as it approaches the end of the runway (5:58-6:10). Ryan interviews Douglas Aircraft Chief Pilot Heimerdinger, who helped designed the cockpit with Stout (6:11-6:50). The tower conversation with the plane is shown and heard just prior to takeoff. The plane passes by a waving crowd and lifts off (7:01-7:39). Views of the DC-10 are shown from a camera chase plane (7:45-8:29). Newscaster Larry Burrell is at the data control center.  This is where flight test information is being relayed via cathode ray tube. A TM link telemeters to a station at Frost Peak, which uses a microwave link to the data center (8:30-9:07).

A camel caravan of loaded camels opens the film. The desert winds blow across the sand. A set of three against a dark background is reminiscent of the three Wisemen (:33-1:05). Inside a trading center in Asia Minor, money being exchanged is interspersed with camels chewing hay (1:06-1:34). Outside, men work with fabric and a raised design is painted (1:35-1:55). Drawings of chariots include the Assyrians (1:59) and Egyptians (2:05), who used the Nile River to expand trade (2:16-2:25). An ancient map of the world is shown (2:26-2:30). The Parthenon Temple of the Athens Acropolis is shown (2:31-2:40), followed by Roman ruins (2:41-2:50). A 15th century map shows a flat earth with edges (2:55-3:10). Europe begins to trade with the East (3:11-3:40). Christopher Columbus and three galleons cross the ocean. The natives he called ‘Indians’, are shown carrying bananas. A native constructs a canoe and a bustling village of teepees is shown (3:41-4:30). An updated map and merchant sailing ships reach the African coast. They pass two canoes, who are then showing carrying packages on their heads (4:31-5:13). In 1497, Vasco da Gama sailed to India, opening up further trade opportunities (5:14-5:44). An updated map shows additional continents. Lloyds of London is created in 1688 to finance marine insurance (5:45-6:40). In America, a team of horses pulls giant logs used to build Clipper ships, as shown with men building one (6:41-7:16). Pacific Island natives paddle in homemade boats, and one is flipped over (7:17-7:30). Different styles of sailing ships are shown (7:31-8:15), In 1807, Robert Fulton built the first commercially successful steamboat, the Clermont. Canals were built to extend the rivers (8:16-8:55). Wagon trains and stagecoaches further opened the U.S. territories (8:56-9:30).

The film opens with scenes of a robot moving around while a narrator explains how the Industrial Revolution improved many facets of life but also forced people into poverty and poor working conditions. Today’s Technology Revolution is on pace to outstrip the advances of the Industrial Revolution, but some people fear the consequences that come with the advancements. The film examines how intelligent machines (robots and computers) operate within the Technology Revolution. Artificial Intelligence is a program used to make decisions, and robots are being equipped with AI (02:17) to operate at drastically more efficient levels. While AI is an important advancement, it is not comparable to human intelligence and is not a substitute for human intelligence. Intelligent machines take on a variety of roles like diagnosing diseases—such as the cancer diagnosing program used at the University of Chicago (04:08). These machines are able to complete tasks in a fraction of the time it would take a human being. Intelligent computer programs are very important in medicine and research, but the greatest need for these machines is currently in the business and industry sectors. Architecture (05:35) is one such industry, where intelligent machines improve the quality and speed of work by helping with building design. Computer Aided Design (CAD) is now becoming a common fixture in architecture firms throughout the world. However, when most people think of intelligent machines, they think of robots. Robots are uniquely adaptable, unlike automated assembly lines. An engineer programs a robot to perform a complex series of movements (07:44) by identifying and entering points into a computer to store and run the full sequence. Some critics project that millions of people will lose their jobs because of the advancements in robotics; however, o...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5cfe8dc1-92cc-44df-aeb1-ff9f984c119b/8d102abe-4edd-4b0f-bb61-7b529da8e896-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cu2XdgwNeu8TLKDa3fwfez</video:player_loc><video:duration>897</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T03:36:23.245Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gWtt95s9qvxLvjwrZANBC6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/774e936d-482d-424e-bdba-6666dd043837.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s UNITED AIRLINES BOEING 747 PROMOTIONAL FILM  34604</video:title><video:description>This 1970s color film is a long advertisement for the Boeing United Airlines 747. “Those United Men and Their Flying Machine” is a play on words of the 1965 film Those Magnificent Men in the Flying Machines, whose theme song by the same name is played throughout this film. It opens with a stuffed Peanuts Snoopy dog sitting on a doghouse in a field, which begins flying after the Red Baron in a biplane (:25-2:33). A United Airlines Boeing 747 flies into view and then back to Snoopy flying on his doghouse (2:334-2:55). In 1909, Louis Bleriot is showing flying his Bleriot XI (2:56-3:57). The view of the jet outside the wing window on the 747 is shown, followed by the plane in flight (3:58-4:33). The propeller is started by hand on an early passenger biplane, interspersed with scenes inside the 747 cabin. There are many great photos of 1970s styles of clothing, shoes, and hairstyles shown intermixed with the biplane (4:34-5:25). The spiral stairway to the ‘red carpet room’ is shown. There passengers receive glasses of champagne (5:26-5:45). Passengers sit in their seats and a man works on a report (5:46-6:07). The stewardesses bring the food and beverage carts down the aisle in coach seating. The kitchen galley is large and highly functional, including convection ovens and refrigerators. A lift moves food up to the other levels. Passengers watch a movie of the biplane on a large screen (6:15-10:00). Shown is a 1911 Curtiss Model D ‘Pusher’ before showing views of the cockpit (10:01-10:24). The film returns to the Snoopy stuffed animal flying on the doghouse, intermixed with split views of scenes inside the 747 (10:25-11:28). 

On November 8, 2017, United Airlines retired its very last 747.

The role of the CGCFPL was to process tens of thousands of feet of gun camera footage obtained by U.S. Air Force pilots.This footage was shot primarily on 16mm motion picture film by cameras that were typically mounted in the wings of airplanes, and which were activated when combat or bomb drops were initiated. Gun camera films were used during WWII, Korea and elsewhere to verify kills, show target hits, and also to instruct pilots as to how to become better in their jobs as marksmen and tacticians. 

The film provides an overview of the GCFL's operating procedure. At :41, raw footage is delivered to the lab by an armed courier. At 1;20 the courier turns over the film to receiving, where it is logged in while the courier has a smoke (thankfully 16mm was safety film so there was little chance of fire). At 2:40 the raw film is put into processing. Here the exposed cartridges are seen put in a loading room (3:05) where the covers are unscrewed and made ready for opening. The next step will take place in the dark or with a red safelight, with the 100' rolls of 16mm negative motion picture film being assembled into a long roll for processing. At 8:58 the film is shown in the chemical processor, moving at a speed of 20 feet per minute. So a 100' roll would be processed in about five minutes. At 9:30 the processed film is placed on a reel and at 10:50 a pair of rewinds and a splicer are shown. Films are identified by writing on the "head" of each one. (A log has been maintained  from the get go, allowing the technician to provide this information in the proper sequence.) At 12:40 the film is seen being spliced with appropriate leaders so that it can be projected. It's also hand inspected to make sure there is proper exposure and any problems are identified.

It opens by mentioning how a camera lens can capture any moment for posterity’s sake. Although most people see a lens only as a glass object “with mysterious properties” (mark 01:10), the narrator notes that “the lens is a think of beauty, an accessory to the human eye.” At mark 02:10 the narrator explains how all lenses and prisms are made of glass prior to launching into a discussion of how such items are produced, while the process unfolds on the screen. It’s explained how lenses have a variety of uses, including binoculars, cameras, and sextants. In an era before computers, mathematical work is seen (that can last up to a year!) to figure out proper lens shape. At mark 03:15, the film reminds us that as Britain became embroiled in WW2, lenses were used for such devices as field glasses and aerial cameras. In peacetime, they are also used by optometrists to correct eyesight (mark 03:55). By mark 05:50 there is a discussion of how sand is used in the making lenses and the process involved. Several minutes later, at mark 09:30, lenses are shown being refined and polished, with one finished product — a prism — being checked for accuracy at mark 12:45. Other lenses are shown at mark 13:52 projecting and making films. “In peacetime … the British optical industry reflects in its own fine products the determination to supply none but the best,” the narrator says at mark 16:00.

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

Using animation to show what happens during exposure, explains process of exposing foods to radiation.

Food irradiation as shown in the film is the process of exposing foodstuffs to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is energy that can be transmitted without direct contact (radiation) capable of freeing electrons from their atomic bonds (ionization) in the targeted food. This treatment is used to preserve food, reduce the risk of food borne illness, prevent the spread of invasive pests, and delay or eliminate sprouting or ripening. Irradiated food does not become radioactive. The radiation can be emitted by a radioactive substance or generated electrically.

Irradiation is also used for non-food applications, such as medical devices.

Although consumer perception of foods treated with irradiation is more negative than those processed by other means, a large amount of independent research has confirmed irradiation to be safe. One family of chemicals is uniquely formed by irradiation, and this product is nontoxic. When irradiating food, all other chemicals occur in a lower or comparable frequency to other food processing techniques.

Food irradiation is permitted by over 60 countries, with about 500,000 metric tons of food annually processed worldwide. The regulations that dictate how food is to be irradiated, as well as the food allowed to be irradiated, vary greatly from country to country. In Austria, Germany, and many other countries of the European Union only dried herbs, spices, and seasonings can be processed with irradiation and only at a specific dose, while in Brazil all foods are allowed at any dose

The film opens with Texas Instruments micro tech scientist Glen Penniston, who discusses microcomputers. Microcomputers can be used to run facilities, calculate or store data, enhance communications, diagnose diseases, and more. Powered by microcomputers, satellites allow enhanced communication through telecommunications and television. The “Information Revolution” is changing the way people think and live. In 1962, the first global communications satellite, Telstar (01:51), is built and launched into space. Satellites enable the broadcasting of news events throughout the world, such as the first live televised event—President Kennedy’s visit to West Berlin (02:12). Tracking violent storms is also now possible with the use of satellites. Computers continue to shrink in size and cost, allowing all types of sectors to benefit from the technology. Law enforcement, with computer-based systems to identify fingerprints, and the ability to communicate between state troopers and federal law authorities, can provide improved safety for communities. Computers are a key piece in military development (04:08), such as the Automatic Digital Network. Comstar satellites (04:28) circle the earth and relay messages and signals to stations, drastically expanding what commercial and cable television can offer consumers, including coverage of the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, NY (05:10). Glen Penniston then explains microprocessors (06:13) and the progress of the development of the “Information Revolution” in a number of industries, including air traffic control and medicine. In short, the “Information Revolution,” powered by microcomputers and processors, is changing what people do and how they do it.

It is a Jam Handy Picture and presented by RCA Victor. The record process being followed is for Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, recorded by Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The film opens with a woman wearing a coordinating 1950s skirt, sweater, neck scarf, and pearl bracelet. She places a record in her RCA high fidelity cabinet record player and the music plays (:26-1:54). The history of making that record follows. The music is first recorded at Symphony Hall, Boston, Massachusetts. An RCA Victor recording light blinks. The music is recorded using both stereophonic and monaural equipment; shown is a room with various high-fidelity recording equipment. Initially, RCA used RT-21 quarter-inch tape recorders wired to mono mixers, with Neumann U-47 cardioid and M-49/50 omnidirectional microphones before switching to an Ampex 300-3 one-half inch machine (1:55-3:27). The film switches multiple times between the orchestra, the console, the magnetic tape recorder, and the speakers. Eventually the final recording is approved (3:28-6:53). The sound tape is transferred to a lacquer master disc, which is first inspected. The disc is attached to the turntable and the specifics set (6:54-8:35). The playing time determines the number of grooves per inch. A diagram is used to explain this (8:36-8:58). A test cut to determine the groove width is checked through a microscope before the tape machine is started (8:59-9:24). The cutting stylus is a minute piece of perfectly ground and electrically heated sapphire. The groove cutting process is continuously monitored. When finished, a perfect lacquer master is created (9:25-10:12). The original tape is stored in a vault (10:13-10:24). The lacquer master is sent to the processing plant in Indianapolis. It is then checked under a microscope (10:25-11:20).

Craig. This segment was photographed by Father Bernard Hubbard, the ‘glacier priest’ and an American geologist and explorer. Col. Craig introduces the show and there’s a “Place Commercial Here” pause (1:16). Father Hubbard, now the narrator, lived a year among these Eskimos (1:18-2:12). His focus was on King Island in the Bering Sea to test theories on when migration to North America began (2:13-2:45). The Perseus Coast Guard Cutter gave him and his dog McGee a ride. Father Bernard took a canoe full of supplies to the island (2:14-4:48). Cliff homes cling to the rocks. Young girls and women are shown cooking outdoors. The knife the women use is the same as on Greenland (4:49-5:10). McGee makes friends with a baby, who is put on the mother’s back in an unusual way, and she gathers wild spinach (5:11-5:45). The Eskimo kayak can be lashed to another for stability. Fishing uses a simple hook and line (5:46-6:40). A group climbs the nearly vertical rocks to hunt puffin and heron eggs (6:41-8:22). A blizzard begins. Inside, the men carve walrus ivory using a mouth drill (8:23-9:33). Winter, the Eskimos chop holes in the 4’ deep ice to catch fish and crabs (9:34-11:00). Spring, polar bear skins dry in the sun and the men build an umiak, a king-sized walrus skin boat of drift wood and whale bones lashed together with walrus sinew (11:01-11:42). The women prepare the boat’s skins by removing the blubber and sewing them together. Babies are cared for as their mother’s work (11:43-12:07). The men carry the large covering down to the boat and attach it (12:08-12:55). Food containers are added, lashings smeared with grease, and whale ribs make every line taut (12:56-13:10). Huge masses of ice break apart. The boat is loaded for its 2,000-mile voyage (13:11-14:19). Another commercial pause (14:43).

It opens with a plane circling the Giza pyramids, interspersed with Arab camel drivers (:25-1:03). Cairo is shown from the air, followed by trains at the station. The streets are full of camel trains, shown crossing a bridge (1:04-1:32). A traffic officer directs cars, buses, motorbikes, and donkey carts (1:33-1:50). The Shepheard’s Hotel was comparable to the Ritz and people arrive and dine there [it burned down in 1952 in the Cairo fire] (1:51-2:10). Open markets and street bazaar’s offer a variety of items and services, including public letter writing (2:11-2:35). The Egyptian Museum includes King Tutankhamen artifacts (2:36-3:04 and alabaster items, including a donkey and perfume jars (3:05-3:09). Bricklayers create a curved structure out of bricks (3:10-3:24). A busy marketplace is shown (3:30-3:40). A tram streetcar pulls up. The trolley continues past the pyramids (3:42-4:10). A Muslim woman adjusts a prayer wheel on her nose (4:12). A camel caravan of nomads picks through the rocks past the pyramids before settling for the night in a cave (4:25-4:50). At Luxor, men are shown carrying a skeleton mummy from a tomb (4:51-5:05). The walls have hieroglyphics and excavating is done around a giant statue in the Valley of the Kings by the Egyptian government. Some of the structures are shown (5:06-6:10). A jockey is weighed before a horse race at the Al Jazira Sporting Club (6:11-7:00). Cairo has the Mosque of Sultan Hassan (7:01-7:23). Heliopolis is modern, despite being one of the oldest cities of ancient Egypt (7:24-7:35). An elaborately carved hookah is shown at a lounge (7:50-8:00). Framed against a cloudy sky are pyramids, palm trees, and camels (8:01-8:20).

It opens with Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin candidly speaking to the camera about his much-publicized struggles with mental health issues after returning from his 1969 moon walk. He stands with some of the artifacts representing his life, including his astronaut suits (:09-:31). Buzz describes his depression and associated alcoholism. Those factors ultimately led to his decision to get profession help, regardless of the effect on his career and the stigma attached to mental illness (:32-1:59). In 1972, Buzz walked into The National Association for Mental Health as a fact-gathering mission. They asked him to serve on the board that year, and in 1973, to serve as the National Association of Mental Health Chairman (2:00-3:00).  A closeup is shown of a medallion necklace on his tie of the Association’s symbol (3:04). Highlights of the Association’s 1973 activities are spoken to a table of members. These include renewal of the Community Mental Health Act; participation in the court action to require the administration to release $52 million to the Association already approved by Congress; participation in the court action to require the administration to release the millions already approved by Congress for research to alcoholism and manpower programs; and the Association successfully sued the government to require minimum wage laws be applied to patients working in institutions (3:24-6:13). Buzz continues discussing the organization and important changes needed to mental health services (6:14-8:00). 

Buzz Aldrin (born Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr.; January 20, 1930) is an American engineer, former astronaut, and Command Pilot in the United States Air Force. As Lunar Module Pilot on the Apollo 11 mission, he and mission commander Neil Armstrong were the first two humans to land on the Moon.

The hair and clothing cross 1930s/1940s styles but with no mention of war, it either predates WWII or was propaganda that everything was fine during it. Vichy was and is still a spa and resort city in the Allier department of Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes in central France. In WWII, it served as the seat of government of Vichy France from 1940 to 1944 as a “Free Zone” while Germany occupied the other zones. It remains a park-garden today. The film is produced by Revelations. It opens with horseback riders passing pedestrians and bicycle riders on the Bellerive Bridge with its many flags, and continue riding on into the city (:20-:50). They pass the Source Celestins, a spring of mineral water, and people drink glasses of its water (:51-1:07). They ride through the street past many different stores (1:08-1:30). A 1930s Citroen Traction Avant is parked on the street (1:32). They pass the Thermal Center of the Domes, a spa built in 1903 (1:33-1:38). The riders are seen through arbors over outdoor café diners (1:39-2:03) and another view of the Source Celestins (2:04-2:22). The people walk their horses past golfers at the Vichy Sporting Club and view a menu at the clubhouse, where they now dine on an outdoor patio (2:23-3:15). They walk through a greenhouse (3:16-3:30) and down stone steps to an indoor pool of spring water bubbling up at Celestins (3:31-4:15). They look down on the stacks of glass bottles being filled with the mineral water, inspected by women on a line, labeled, and packed in wooden crates (4:16-).  One male worker is wearing a newsboy hat (4:29) and the bottles on the bottom row (5:44) have a label that was used in 1929, as per a magazine ad from that time. Next, a poster for a Concours Hippique advertises an equestrian competition (6:14). The horses jump fences and gates and the winners are congratulated (6:15-7:07).

The film then explores the technological developments over the years which led to lightwave communications trials in the 1970s. The film ends with a look into the future at the possible telecommunications benefits of this then-emerging technology. The Photophone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell and his then-assistant Charles Sumner Tainter in 1880. The photophone sent a conversation between two points 700 ft. apart, and the device transmitted both sounds and speech. It was, essentially, the very first wireless call. Bell was so taken with this invention that he referred to it as his "greatest achievement" - so much so that he wanted to name his second daughter Photophone. His wife, Mabel, objected, so the daughter became Marian "Daisy" Bell (later to be paid tribute by the first piece of computer music developed at Bell Labs, a version of the song "Daisy Bell"). By 1977, fiber optic communication was still pre-natal - AT&amp;T's first fiber-optic route was placed from Cambridge, MA, to Washington DC, and was placed in service around 1983-84. In 2011, modern wireless light systems are actually still in the experimental/growth stage. While fiber-optic technology is extremely prevalent, those still include wires. However, in Dec. 2010 the municipal offices in St. Cloud, MN were the first to incorporate a new LED data technology which transmits the internet through the same light fixtures that light their offices, wirelessly.

It was shown to theatre audiences as part of the “loose lip sink ships” WWII warnings. It opens where Part One left off. The woman orders a drink from a waiter as the soldier steps over. The two flirt. He lights her cigarette first and lights his off hers. She asks him questions while a man listens in (:05-1:35). The couple kiss, dance, and have more drinks. He gets drunk and loud. (1:36-3:50). An MP stops him (3:51). The listening man is actually FBI. He shows his ID to the woman, who runs away (3:52-4:28). The Federal Officer hands the soldier’s letter to the MP. Men bring in the blonde’s boyfriend, who gets her address from him. She runs down the street and into an apartment building. We find she’s actually a German spy. The male spy locks the door. Angry, he slaps her twice. The FBI agents climb the stairs, guns ready. Inside, the man escapes but the FBI breaks in and catches the female spy (4:29-6:16). Outside, shots are fired through the fire escape and the spy is hit. The newspaper headline proclaims the capture of the spy ring (6:17-6:56). Back in the classroom, the lesson continues, starting with the soldier’s father who was to meet his son. That did not happen, but he did leave a goodbye note for his parents. His mother dials a 1940s phone and passes on a message to the soldier’s girlfriend. She is to think of him Wednesday and to play a particular song. The girl puts a coin in a juke box, which plays “Waiting on the Robert E. Lee”. They talk in front of a man. A woman at Western Union uses a teletypewriter to send coded information but the convoy has left. (6:57-11:00). At the Army Transport Service, the boyfriend absent-mindedly writes out secret convoy information. The pretty typist leaves the carbon paper on her desk, where it blows on the floor for a janitor (11:01-14:13). The soldier’s mother serves tea and cookies and complains to a group of women, s...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/163bd0d4-4ead-4d90-950e-e378eeeb81c5/684539a1-e64d-469f-8463-ae0a2f7e76a7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3KeTgJ2jgothYfEtLLu3xp</video:player_loc><video:duration>1265</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T04:01:41.636Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vHfcFjCPsMG69kyLezJde5</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/db409dca-24a1-4245-b6a2-da8d43e5e4b0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE KNUTE ROCKNE STORY    1920s NOTRE DAME UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL DOCUMENTARY  54114</video:title><video:description>The film begins with views of the University of Notre Dame (:06-:24). Knute’s life is explored, beginning with helmeted young boys in Chicago who huddle together and play football in a field. (:25-:41). The post office (:42) is where he earned enough money at 22 to go to Notre Dame in 1910. Photos of the University are shown (:43-:56). A photo is shown of Knute in 1913 as a track team star (1:01) and one as captain of the football team (1:03). Next is of Knute as a Chemistry instructor (1:08), and an assistant football coach (1:10-1:15). A 1914 photo shows Knute and his new wife, Bonnie Skiles (1:20). A 1918 photos shows him as head coach (1:22). Knute is shown training players (1:27-1:52). His star player, George Gipp, “the Gipper” is shown in a photo and on the field. The team is untied and undefeated in 1919 and in 1920 (1:55-2:15). Gipp dies of streptococcal throat infection and pneumonia in his senior season (2:16-2:25). The next photo shows Rockne with his “Four Horseman” as he tries to rebuild the team (2:28). The four were quarterback Harry Stuhldreher (2:32), fullback Elmer Layden (2:34), right halfback Jim Crowley (2:38), and left halfback Don Miller (2:40). The four are shown on horseback (2:46). A touchdown in 1923 is shown, followed by one in 1924 (2:52-3:19). The Rose Bowl field has the Notre Dame logo shown by a group of students with signs (3:21). A touchdown in the 1925 win against Stanford is shown (3:23-3:34). A packed parade follows in South Bend (3:35-3:46). In the winter of 1925, Knute visited Columbia University in New York City (3:47-4:00). Even though the newspapers claimed he was quitting Notre Dame, he did not and is shown in an interview (4:01-4:22). 1928 begins a new season, as the team runs to him. Knute is shown talking to them (4:34-4:30). The team drills for the game against West Point (4:31-4:46). 80,000 people attend the game at Yankee Stadium. Kickoff is shown. (4:48-5:16).

It was shown to theatre audiences as part of the “loose lip sink ships” WWII warnings. It opens with a spinning globe ending on Berlin (:10-:26). A reenactment shows a room of well-dressed Germans at a Nazi school for spies. The warning to the theatre audience is not to help them by leaving documents out and freely talking about the details of the war. The class on ‘American Stupidity’ is taught by a German ranking officer standing under a portrait of Hitler. The spies are told to get soldiers to freely talk in conversations and he gives the following story (:28-3:35). The wheels of a steam locomotive pass by (3:37). Onboard, a soldier looks through a magazine with pin-up photos. Another one begins to talk about upcoming sea sickness and is silenced by a soldier and a poster on the wall (3:42-4:20). A German spy was listening through the bathroom grate (4:21-5:02). A soldier calls his dad and talks in a prearranged code; however, he sets up a lunch meeting for the day before the date he openly gives of when he leaves and the distance to get there.

Olsen and produced by the Dudley Pictures Corporation, the 1947 Danger River is the “first professional motion pictures ever taken of the dangerous journey down the raging” Colorado River. The film opens with shots of massive rapids of the Colorado River as it rushes through the Grand Canyon (00:34). This stretch of the Colorado is known as “Danger River,” and the remains of men who attempted to run the river (01:31; 05:56) serve as a testament to how dangerous it is: over 125 men have tried to run these waters, but less than 60 have accomplished the feat. Norman Nevills (01:40) is in charge of this expedition of plywood boats reinforced with strips of oak. The expedition arrives at the river (02:33), and get the boats on the water, load provisions, then push off. During the first stretch, the men face the treacherous waters of Badger [Creek] Rapid (02:42) and explosion waves with 40-foot suction holes (05:15). Taking a needed break, the men climb 2,000 feet above the river to the ancient cliff dwellings of the Pueblo Indians (06:11), drift up a side canyon off the river, and fly fish for rainbow trout. Then its back to the river, where the expedition shoots Sockdolager Rapid in the river’s Granite Gorge (07:08), which is known as “Graveyard of the Colorado” with waves measuring 30-feet high. At times, the boats are completely sucked under the surface of the water. Finally, Rapid 233 marks the last of the rough water (08:12), and the expedition finally arrives at Lake Mead (08:27), having conquered the mighty Colorado. 

Norman D. Nevills (April 9, 1908 - September 19, 1949) was a pioneer of commercial river-running in the American Southwest, particularly the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. He led trips including Dr. Elzada Clover and Lois Jotter, the first two women to successfully float the Grand Canyon (which occurred in 1938), and Barry Goldwater. In 1940, Nevills took Barry Goldwater, a young man from a family which owned Arizon...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3ab91069-96b1-48eb-93ab-a4b78642fd63/c60a4509-332a-4b57-9e80-dbc743921869-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8fzymkQidbC8HJYs2hvkBz</video:player_loc><video:duration>570</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T04:19:56.390Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/k3PdwnXQAMZvJLmYXwMkR2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3da01388-3445-470c-8423-c78a6a842404.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1947 ILLINOIS EDUCATIONAL FILM   CHICAGO, CALUMET, LAGRANGE  "THIS LAND OF OURS"  60844</video:title><video:description>“Illinois” is an episode in the 1940s motion picture series This Land Of Ours, from Carl Dudley Productions, and gives viewers an overview of the “Land of Lincoln.” This episode opens with a shot of a mighty river (00:34), as the narrator explains the number of rivers and lakes located within or along Illinois’ border. Modern cities such as Chicago (01:07) and Springfield (01:16) are home to the millions of Midwesterners. Springfield, the capital, is itself a dedication to Abraham Lincoln—his statue graces the front of the capital building (01:41) and his tomb is housed here as well (02:00). Chicago (02:19) rises above Lake Michigan in steel and stone buildings. Michigan Avenue (02:32) is the city’s most famous, and is home to the iconic Wrigley Building. But all of Chicago’s streets bustle with people and cars. Merchandise Mart (03:15) is another famous building, and highlights the commercial and manufacturing industries of the city and the state. Other major manufacturing towns are Rockford (plow shares), Calumet (Pullman cars), La Grange (power diesels). The University of Illinois (04:48) is the state’s great public educational institution and enrolls thousands of students from Illinois as well as all over the country. Coal mining (05:18) is another major industry; Illinois is the third largest producer in the U.S. Farming (06:09) is widespread, as Illinois is a major agriculture producer, producing wheat, oats, and rye. The Illinois prairie produces endless amounts of these bushel crops. Soy beans (06:54), which Illinois pioneered, are also grown here, and Illinois grows more soy beans than any other state. Corn (07:22) is the most important crop, and Illinois farmers use mechanized harvesting tools, many of which are manufactured in the state itself. The film concludes with a visit to the Illinois State Fair (07:42), which showcases what Illinois is and does. 4H youngsters prepare for future livestock careers, small children ride mini trains and other fair r...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9a42384d-3f9c-404b-a552-7769c456370f/5bc1314a-089d-4577-bfef-fbe6b9543721-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/k3PdwnXQAMZvJLmYXwMkR2</video:player_loc><video:duration>584</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T04:21:33.437Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dT6qRzF7FUE9ML3rS1qLnz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/da85b2df-c819-4305-8d04-7ab6b4bfbfab.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1947 VERMONT  BURLINGTON, BENNINGTON  TRAVELOGUE MOVIE  "THIS LAND OF OURS"  60864</video:title><video:description>The 1947 episode “The State of Vermont,” part of the Carl Dudley Productions motion pictures series This Land Of Ours, gives viewers a taste of Vermont. Vermont, the first state to be added to the original 13, is home to breathtaking scenery. The state’s large waterways provide energy through hydroelectric power (01:17) and opportunities for recreation: Lake Champlain is the largest lake east of the Great Lakes. Vermont’s first settlement is Brattleboro (01:30), situated on the Connecticut River. Rutland (01:54) is known as the Marble City due to its nearby quarries that produce more than 70% of marble used in the U.S. Barre (02:35) is home to granite quarries. Montpelier (03:07) is Vermont’s capital, with its beautiful capital building (08:45), and was established in 1805. The state’s largest city is Burlington (03:22), home of Ethan Allen and the state’s flagship university (03:43). Bennington (04:02) was the first town to be chartered west of the Connecticut River and is known for the Battle of Bennington. The Revolutionary War battle is commemorated by one of the tallest battle monuments in the world (04:20). Bennington also features first-rate institutions of learning, such as the Bennington School for Girls. Vermont claims Calvin Coolidge as one of its sons; Coolidge was born in small store in Plymouth (04:47). Rural landscapes (05:00) dominate much of Vermont, and feature poultry, potato, and cattle farms. Vermont’s cattle are responsible for the state’s famous milk, cream, butter, and cheese industry, with products transported by companies like White Bros. Milk Co. (06:08). Vermont’s most famous resource is arguably the sap harvested from maple trees (06:18), which is turned into maple syrup, sugar, and candy (06:43). With scenic beauty everywhere, from covered bridges to picturesque inns, from pristine rivers to snow-covered slopes (07:30), there is something for everyone during every season.

Some of the state’s notable cities are Casper (01:46), home of Fort Caspar (01:06), and Cheyenne (01:15), the state’s capital. Oil and coal are two major industries in the state due to the abundance of the natural resources. Strip mining operations (02:15) harvest the coal deposits. Timber (02:33) and agriculture are two other major industries. Wyoming’s primary crops are potatoes and sugar beets. Climate makes raising turkeys common in Wyoming, but sheep (04:00), horses (04:57), and cattle are also prominent livestock. The “cowboy” lifestyle of ranching has led to the rise of Dude Ranches (05:08), where city dwellers can experience life on a ranch. Other popular activities for locals and visitors alike are taking pack trips into the Bighorn Mountains (06:08), hiking the Tetons in Jackson Hole (06:28), and taking in Devil’s Tower (06:45). However, Wyoming’s most famous attraction is Yellowstone National Park (07:12), with its abundance of wildlife, waters, and geysers—including the world-famous Old Faithful (07:32).

In this film, a young man named Johnny is awakened by a friend who urgently informs him that he’s been drafted into the Army. Initially anxious, Johnny listens as his friend walks him through the entire induction process. It begins with reporting to a local building for a series of physical examinations, standing in long lines, and becoming accustomed to the lack of privacy. Johnny undergoes medical tests, a psychiatric interview, and learns that classification determines when and how he’ll enter service. After receiving his notice, he’s given several weeks to prepare before returning for induction, where he's rechecked and takes the oath of allegiance. Sent to a reception center, Johnny experiences the beginnings of Army discipline, learns how to follow orders, care for his belongings, and complete further physical assessments. He registers any dependents for support, receives Army-issued clothing, and is trained in military routines like bed-making. The film emphasizes packing only essentials, maintaining a sense of humor, and leaving prejudices behind. It closes with lights out, marking the start of Johnny’s transformation into a soldier.

Eddie Rickenbacker of Eastern Airlines speaking about the future of aviation. The title of the film was part of a slogan used throughout the aviation and defense industry in this era, to promote a strong military-industrial research and development effort that would simultaneously advance aviation technology while strengthening U.S. defense. The film mostly centers around a young journalist who is dispatched to take a flight on a new Lockheed Constellation. The plane's luxurious interior is seen, along with its high-tech flight controls and four engined power. At one point, three of the plane's four engines are idled to demonstrate the safety of civil aviation and the Constellation in particular. Once the flight is concluded, the film once again features Rickenbacker, now speaking about the need for Congress to grant a $25 million r&amp;d effort so that a civilian jet liner the size of a Constellation can be built. The film shows various images of the future of aviation including the jet powered Northrop YB-49 Flying Wing at the 26 minute mark, and a passenger mock-up of the flying wing. There is also color footage of B-29s, a dive bomber striking a target with rockets, a JATO take-off of a B-47 Stratojet and a P-59 Black Widow. New jet engines are shown at the 27:30 minute mark, and early jet fighters including the P-80, and the test firing of an Americanized V-2 rocket at 28 minutes. The Bell X-1 rocket plane flown by Chuck Yeager is also seen at the 28;23 mark.

Made just after the Salk vaccine had been developed, the film attempts to remind the audience of the suffering of infantile paralysis victims, and continue to fund the fight against the disease. It also encourages the audience to respect the abilities of these children and adults and not their disabilities. At 1;44, a man is seen typing with his toes. At 2:00, empty summer camps and swimming pools are seen in the wake of a 1955 outbreak. At 2:30 a shopping center is seen, its parking lot empty because of the outbreak. At 3:00, a polio victim arrives at a hospital. At 3:25, a hospital in Boston is seen, with young patients in the hospital. At 4:00, a hospital in Wisconsin is seen with many child patients. At 4:30, an extremely weak adult victim is shown, and at 5:20 the crutches and braces used for treating deformed victims are shown. At 5:50, a patient immobilized in a cast is seen. At 6:10 children are shown being treated in iron lungs with round-the-clock nursing care. The film ends with the reminder -- polio is not over. 

Two vaccines are used throughout the world to combat polio. The first was developed by Jonas Salk, first tested in 1952, and announced to the world by Salk on April 12, 1955. The Salk vaccine, or inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV), consists of an injected dose of killed poliovirus. In 1954, the vaccine was tested for its ability to prevent polio; the field trials involving the Salk vaccine would grow to be the largest medical experiment in history. Immediately following licensing, vaccination campaigns were launched, by 1957, following mass immunizations promoted by the March of Dimes the annual number of polio cases in the United States would be dramatically reduced, from a peak of nearly 58,000 cases, to just 5,600 cases.

Eight years after Salk's success, Albert Sabin developed an oral polio...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/276bab25-495e-4cd0-8235-4334dad3b405/076dc3da-d2c0-4a5f-9cf4-52786e4ceaa3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5Skmmk5dU8ThYZd1WUUVq2</video:player_loc><video:duration>597</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T04:59:46.724Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/a3EVJiGRMpv5SEGNyCg7Zh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f80f42fb-c16f-4729-880f-c0d7d6e3554f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM AIRLINES  1960s HONG KONG AND SINGAPORE TRAVEL FILM   61614</video:title><video:description>This 1960 color film on Hong Kong when it was a British Colony and Singapore is one of a series of Pan Am New Horizons travelogues. It is narrated by Ed Stokes, edited by F.D. Kay, and produced by Movietonews, Inc. It begins with a colorful ‘focus leader’ for the film operator (:06-:50).

It introduces the Bell &amp; Howell Filmosound 202 projector, an innovative 16-millimeter optical magnetic motion picture sound projector produced from 1952-1955 (:25-:37.)  The projector used a thin magnetic stripe on the 16mm film to record and play back sound. This stripe could be added using a special striping machine that a person could buy, or at a Bell &amp; Howell laboratory. The magnetic striping was far cheaper than a conventional "optical track" which had to be created through a much more complex process.

In the film, a man sets up the projector and speaks into a hand-held microphone to record voice, music, and sound effects (:43-1:13). The complete steps are shown up close. First is to take the single perforated 16-millimeter film, insert it into the round metal case, and take it to the Bell &amp; Howell dealer (1:14-1:23). It is then sent to the office in Chicago (1:24) to have a magnetic sound stripe placed on it and returned to the owner. To begin, remove the side panel and thread the film into the projector (1:32-1:53). Next, the microphone is plugged in (1:55), the selector lever is turned to magnetic and the sound switch to record (2:04-2:10). Turn up the microphone volume control and press the record button. (2:11-2:31). If a mistake is made, turn the Direction switch to reverse the film the desired amount and then back to forward and resume recording by pressing the Record button (2:50-3:37). The man sets the projector up to play the film, which can be recorded over as often as needed (3:42). This projector has many different uses. A manufacturer could use this to record product information and play it to clients (5:08-6:02). A teacher records an added soundtrack to an educational film with an optical soundtrack (6:05-6:52). A clergyman records the soundtrack of a Bible film (6:53-7:22). A doctor records a message on the film of ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fe16442a-f0fe-4a88-a7a0-dcde984c3dbb/d1070efb-75e0-4079-94d2-aa69b7eb012b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xnN11MnXdVP4BK713abDoK</video:player_loc><video:duration>635</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T05:03:38.586Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hDzZtf1siFqhEmcxgkN5G1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ef2ed469-c244-476f-a066-d3b223045232.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE STORY OF LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTES   1940s TOBACCO INDUSTRY  61084</video:title><video:description>This tinted film discusses the manufacturing process and benefits of Lucky Strike cigarettes. It was made prior to 1942, when the packaging changed from dark green to white. It begins with a stop-action animated title card made of cigarettes and cigarette boxes for Lucky Strike Tobacco Company, the #1 selling tobacco brand of the United States in the 1930s. It opens with a woman listening to a RCA Victor Standard Domestic radio (0:21-30).

Fields of tobacco leaves are shown blowing in the wind as workers and donkey-pulled carts tend the crop (2:32-2:51). Women are shown hanging tobacco leaves for curing (2:52-3:00). A Lucky Strike tobacco buyer samples the leaves and takes them to a laboratory where scientists analyze them (3:01-3:25). A group of buyers analyze the reports (3:26-3:34). Tobacco leaves are stored in a giant warehouse where an auction is held with men in formal 1940s suits (3:35-4:45). The auctioneer smokes a Lucky Strike and talks to the camera (4:46-5:06), and the auction resumes (5:07-5:32). An aerial shot pans over the production facility buildings as rows of trucks bring in barrels (5:33-5:48), which are stacked with a pulley and rolled into place by workmen into a warehouse (5:49-5:57). Cigarette machines remove the stem as women spread the leaves, and men in lab coats oversee the toasting machines (5:58-6:48). An up-close shot of the leaves being toasted is shown (6:49-7:10). Huge pipes carry the smoke outside (7:11-7:28). Machines blend and shred the leaves (7:29-7:35).

The film begins with footage of Skyhawks landing at a base, and then at 1:55 an A-7 Corsair lands. The pilot begins having a conversation with the crash crew about A-7 rescue procedures, while his anxious girlfriend (who has a cute little British Triumph sports car) patiently waits for him to finish his lecture. The film goes on to describe various scenarios for extricating the pilot from the plane, and looks at some of the aircraft's danger areas. At 16:30, crash crews practice approaching the aircraft in the event of a fire. The film ends with the pilot heading off with his girlfriend.

The LTV A-7 Corsair II is an American carrier-capable subsonic light attack aircraft manufactured by Ling-Temco-Vought (LTV) to replace the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. Its airframe design was a somewhat smaller version of the supersonic Vought F-8 Crusader. The Corsair II initially entered service with the United States Navy (USN) during the Vietnam War. It was later adopted by the United States Air Force (USAF), including the Air National Guard, to replace the Douglas A-1 Skyraider and North American F-100 Super Sabre. The aircraft was also exported to Greece in the 1970s, and to Portugal in the late 1980s.

The films shows an impressive array of sea life including fish, eels, turtles and of course sharks (8:50). Not shown are the impressive technological innovations that Cousteau developed to make the film possible, including the scuba equipment and special, water tight camera housings and lights.

The film shows dive tests which Cousteau performed aboard the venerable French submarine Rubis.The goal was to show how men could use an airlock aboard the submarine to emerge underwater, both for research and potentially as a means of escape. Not really mentioned in the film is the fact that, in order to shoot it, Cousteau developed a series of camera housings that allowed underwater filming. 

The Rubis is shown at 1:00 cruising at sea. At 1:30 its crew, including a pipe smoking captain, surveys the horizon and at 1:54 prepares to dive.  At 3:15 the boat is seen underwater. At 4;14 what initially appears to be ballast is dropped by the submarine, in reality deadly underwater mines,  (This footage shot by Cousteau, is likely some of the very first to show a submerged submarine. Shots of a torpedo fired underwater at 6:20 are also apparently the first ever to show this activity). At 7:10 the dive team prepares to leave the submarine, putting on swim fins and scuba tanks. At 7:40 the first man enters the submarine's trunk. When all is in readiness water is allowed into the trunk at 8:30. Once pressure is equalized the divers emerge at 9:20. At 9:54 impressive underwater shots of the boat breaking the surface are shown as the film comes to a close. 

The French submarine Rubis (H4, 202, P15) was a Saphir-class minelaying submarine which first served in the French submarine pavilion, then the Free French Naval Forces (FNFL) during the Second World War and back with the French Navy. The boat was awarded numerous awards. Accordingly, as a result of Rubis's service with the FNFL, the boat was made a companion of the Ordre de la Libération by a decree issued by General Charles de Gaulle on 14 October 1941.

After serving in Toulon with the 7th and later 5th Submarine Squadrons, in 1937 Rubis was transferred to Cherbourg.

The planes shown include the Fairey Firefly. The ship is HMS Warrior, a Colossus-class light aircraft carrier which served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1946 to 1948 (as HMCS Warrior), the Royal Navy from 1948 to 1958, and the Argentine Navy from 1959 to 1969 as ARA Independencia. Built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, she was originally to be called HMS Brave; the Royal Navy had originally intended to rush her into service for operations in the Indian Ocean during the Second World War, thus she was built without heaters for some onboard equipment since heat was unnecessary in tropical operations. Warrior was launched on 20 May 1944 and completed on 24 January 1946. She was loaned to the RCN, commissioned as HMCS Warrior and placed under the command of Captain Frank Houghton. She entered Halifax harbor on 31 March 1946, a week after leaving Portsmouth. She was escorted by the destroyer HMCS Micmac and the minesweeper HMCS Middlesex. Initially, Warrior was equipped with Supermarine Seafires of 803 Squadron and Fairey Fireflies of 825 Squadron. The RCN experienced problems with the unheated equipment during operations in cold North Atlantic waters off eastern Canada during 1947. The ship was transferred west to Esquimalt in November 1947. The RCN deemed her unfit for service and, rather than retrofit her with equipment heaters and with reduced defense spending, the RCN could not afford two aircraft carriers. Warrior was then returned to the Royal Navy in exchange for Magnificent in February 1948. 

At 5:10, the ship pays a port of call to Kingston, Jamaica. At 8:00 the destroyer R16 is shown being refueled at sea. This is HMCS Crescent, a C-class destroyer that was built for the Royal Navy but was transferred before completion and saw active service wit...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/06b7deb6-f6e1-4fcf-9255-39a2d4051a08/fa62fda9-00ea-4597-ac0b-dbac305adc43-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1Q7Ln8ECMF2aHJp5Qncfzf</video:player_loc><video:duration>845</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T05:14:10.782Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tWe1jBYqQuuagif5qgURw8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/87b0765a-134f-49f6-9cb2-54f19d9d9c03.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ALBATROSS &amp; GOONIE BIRDS ON MIDWAY ISLAND   " THE SECOND BATTLE OF MIDWAY " 27124</video:title><video:description>This military public announcement color film is about the dangers to military aircraft by the Albatross / Goonie bird population on the Hawaiian Midway Atoll. It dates to the late 1950s, as 1957 numbers are given. The film was part of a campaign by the U.S. military to be allowed to curb bird populations so that Midway would remain a viable landing area for aircraft. However eventually the island was abandoned by the military and reverted to an island strictly for the birds -- and today it is a wildlife sanctuary. You can read more about the birds of Midway here: https://www.fws.gov/refuge/Midway_Atoll/wildlife_and_habitat/Birds_of_Midway.html

The film opens in the cockpit of a Lockheed Constellation radar plane as the two pilots discuss the dangers of the very large albatross, also known as gooney birds, hitting windshields and creating hydraulic leaks in military planes upon take-off and landing in the Pacific Barrier area, including to a Super Constellation transport plane with 70 crew aboard (:09-4:30). The announcer interviews another crew member who was on a plane that had a bird enter the carburetor air scoop, completing killing the engine on a four-engine plane. (4:31-6:00). The white sand coastline of an island 50 miles away is shown, which is covered in dense shrubs of nepeta and so the birds won’t nest these (6:00-6:15). The Navy Bureau of Aeronautics plans to clear this island to encourage nests there (6:16-7:00). Many aerial shots of Lisyansky Island is shown (7:01-8:07). The 1957 population there was 95,000 Laysan albatrosses and 7,000 Blackfooted albatrosses. More albatross birds are shown walking at Sand Island (8:08-8:15). They cover the lawns of the military base, undisturbed by the traffic, planes, and people (8:16-8:55). Repairs from bird strikes are made on a Constellation (8:56-9:10). Albatross birds are shown in flight (9:11-10:15). The Barbers Point Naval Air Station on Oahu is shown (10:16-10:21). Rear Admiral Benjamin E.

It was presented by the Douglas Aircraft Company as a scientific venture. A California grey whale swims, emerges and blows water (:43-1:20). The Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea are ice covered (1:20-1:40). A vintage globe shows the migration path to warmer waters off Baha, California for breeding (1:41-1:57). Two grey whales swim (1:58-2:35). A vintage map of California shows migration paths (2:36-2:49). Various grey whales swim, flip, and spout. (3:02-3:50). Donald Douglas’ ship Dorado was used as the research vehicle; its goal was a cardiograph of a whale’s heart (3:41-4:02). Vintage Douglas Aircraft Company and National Geographic flags flutter (4:06-4:13). February 4, 1956, the men prepare for the first expedition in a motorboat (4:25-4:33). The tools are crossbows and hand-thrown harpoons with barbed heads and trailing insulated wires connected to a small telemetering boat (4:34-4:44). A gray whale causes damage with its tail as sharks gather (4:45-5:06). The next practice attempts in 1957 used a Douglas N350 helicopter with the telemetering boat, which is shown up close (5:26-5:46). A harpoon firing platform with two high-powered firing rifles is mounted on the helicopter before it takes off (5:47-6:34). Donald Douglas (6:04) and his son fire them into the water (6:35-6:45). To make the real attempt on February 5, 1957, equipment is loaded in a Douglas DC-3 experimental aircraft and heads to Scammon’s Lagoon (6:46-7:55). The Dorado, formerly a Coast Guard ship, followed (7:56-8:35). Ten miles from the lagoon was the Black Warrior salt bed, used as the runway for the DC-3, and the Army and Douglas helicopters (8:36-8:50). Donald Douglas Jr. arrives and supplies are unloaded (8:51-9:20). The helicopter’s shadow is seen as a campsite is set up (9:21-13:09).

MCCAIN JR. SPEAKS ABOUT LEADERSHIP  26834</video:title><video:description>The 1960s television program LEADERSHIPS SPEAKS featured prominent members of the U.S. military, speaking about defense and other issues. Here a cigar smoking Rear Admiral John S. McCain, Jr. speaks forcefully about leadership, noting that you can "buy many things in life but you can't buy leadership". At the time Admiral McCain was working as the Chief of Information (1962-63), a post he would leave in the summer of 1963 to undertake command of Operation Steel Pike, the largest amphibious landing exercise in peacetime.

John Sidney "Jack" McCain Jr. (January 17, 1911 – March 22, 1981) was a United States Navy admiral, who served in conflicts from the 1940s through the 1970s, including as the Commander, United States Pacific Command.

McCain grew up in Washington, D.C., and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1931, after which he entered the submarine service. In World War II, he commanded submarines in several theaters of operation, was responsible for sinking several Japanese ships, and was decorated with both the Silver Star and Bronze Star. After the war, he held a variety of commands, specializing in amphibious warfare. He led the 1965 U.S. invasion of the Dominican Republic. He also served in several posts in Washington, including the Legislative Affairs Office and Chief of Naval Information, where he became influential in political affairs. He was a staunch anti-Communist, and was such an advocate of a strong naval presence that he became known as "Mr. Seapower".

During the Vietnam War, McCain was Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Command (CINCPAC), commander of all U.S. forces in the Vietnam theater from 1968 to 1972. He was a stalwart supporter of President Richard Nixon's policy of Vietnamization. McCain played a significant role in the militarization of U.S. policy towards Cambodia, helping to convince Nixon to launch the 1970 Cambodian Incursion and establishing a personal relationship with Cambodian leader Lon Nol. McCain was also a proponent of the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9bbc62b4-a429-4757-aee7-31fe9967af5f/fd131c9d-6cd5-42f7-b062-67edaab91ba5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/keoRjwuHkQkdSKpMPu25EK</video:player_loc><video:duration>788</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T05:22:39.359Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cNUepbJVFJCBFVtPkEJWNv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/03816b15-5ca6-4772-807a-f002330cd012.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY VICE ADMIRAL WILLIAM F. RABORN SPEAKS ABOUT LEADERSHIP  80684</video:title><video:description>The 1960s television program LEADERSHIPS SPEAKS featured prominent members of the U.S. military, speaking about defense and other issues. Here Vice Admiral William F. Raborn presents views on leadership to Howard K. Smith. At the time Raborn had risen to public attention through his work developing the Polaris missile system and leading the project to build and deploy it. The complex, high tech Polaris system was innovative in the way it was managed because it was developed in record time, and on budget, through the use of careful management techniques including computerized schedule making. Interestingly, Raborn seems (at least initially) fairly uncomfortable on camera, one might say even nervous. Most of the conversation is about management, industrial leadership and the fostering of development programs. 

William Francis Raborn, Jr., (June 8, 1905 – March 6, 1990) was the United States Director of Central Intelligence from April 28, 1965 until June 30, 1966. He was also a career United States Navy officer who lead the project to develop the Polaris missile system and retired from the Navy in 1963 as a Vice Admiral. Born in Decatur, Texas, he graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1928. During World War II he directed the Gunnery Training Section at the Bureau of Aeronautics. He also served in the Pacific on aircraft carriers: Raborn was the executive officer of the carrier USS Hancock (CV-19) when her deck was damaged by a kamikaze attack. He had the deck repaired in four hours, allowing the ship's aircraft (which had been airborne when the kamikaze struck) to land safely - for this Raborn was awarded the Silver Star.[2] He later commanded the carriers USS Bairoko (CVE-115) and USS Bennington (CVA-20).

Raborn was a rear admiral when he was appointed, on November 8, 1955, as Director of Special Projects at the Bureau of Weapons. His task was to develop a submarine-launched ballistic missile. He reported directly to Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Arleigh ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5fa0ed5c-b4d1-4aaa-bc4b-5fce7350be31/f48187ab-034f-4487-8de3-fb0a2bdc8377-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cNUepbJVFJCBFVtPkEJWNv</video:player_loc><video:duration>511</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T05:23:53.446Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6Nu3V575NSsysZnzvL35Lk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cc8d0c7a-9502-403c-a597-a4feb617d41d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1944 U.S. ARMY PTSD  TRAINING FILM   INTRODUCTION TO COMBAT FATIGUE  23284</video:title><video:description>The 1944 U.S. Army training film Introduction to Combat Fatigue (T.F. 8-1402) is designed to help U.S. soldiers suffering from combat fatigue understand the origins of their physical and emotional symptoms. An officer narrates the short film, which uses combat scenes to recreate the stresses that lead to combat fatigue, following U.S. Marine Ben Edwards as he experiences combat situations that lead to combat fatigue. The narrator explains that fear is a universal emotion, and it has its uses. Soldiers storming across a field bunker down when taking fire (02:56), before pushing forward. However, the negative impact of fear on humans is that humans continue to remember the fear-inducing events, and this can take a toll on the person’s psyche. The narrator introduces viewers to a hospital ward (04:13) where Edwards is struggling with combat fatigue. The story of Edwards begins in a ship’s sleeping quarters, where Edwards and several other soldiers discuss the upcoming assault. The narrator explains that the anticipation of fighting can wear on a man’s nerves. The soldiers then descend the side of the ship into LCPs (09:11) and make their way to shore. As Edwards and his unit step onto the beach, the narrator explains that Edwards is a good fighter because he uses his fear as a useful tool to be cautious and alert for signs of danger. The troops move into the jungle and dig in (11:25). According to the narrator, their fear disappears as they realize that the enemy doesn’t know where they are. However, after four weeks of no fighting, the anticipation of fighting and its consequences make the men irritable. This is then followed by the death of a soldier and an aerial attack on the men while eating at base (15:37), which increases the soldiers’—and especially Edwards’—stress. Sleep deprivation and constantly being on alert compound the stress levels. The narrator notes that these factors are not enough to cause combat fatigue: a climax is needed to trigger the disorde...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2efb317c-832b-4623-95ff-8a20d2349c8b/f9ac89b7-9fe7-4305-8b8a-72ded7f714b2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6Nu3V575NSsysZnzvL35Lk</video:player_loc><video:duration>1882</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T05:29:26.192Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hAjscWsQn7NFiBiVKAFUsR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4b3133f9-8a63-47e1-9e2f-b7af45a0b588.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FIRST ANTI-NUCLEAR WARFARE CARTOON EVER MADE   "ONE WORLD OR NONE"  33704</video:title><video:description>The earliest-known nuclear scare movie, ONE WORLD OR NONE was released in 1946, just months after the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Produced by Philip Ragan (whose identity remains something of a mystery) this impressive cartoon was funded by the Federation of American Scientists. It pre-dates all the so-called "Atomic Scare Films" but manages to predict many of the great political, moral and other quandaries created by the atomic bomb.

Narrated by  Dr. Donald D. Hornig Chairman, Department of Chemistry Princeton, the film, which was part of a larger series called Horizon of Science, details as a team from Columbia University’s Lamont Geological Observatory work on board R/V Vema to test for an optimal drill site for Project Mohole. The research study is carried out with three other ships from other institutions such as R/V Bear, R/V Hidalgo, and USNS Josiah Willard Gibbs (T-AGOR-1). 

Project Mohole was an ambitious attempt to drill through the Earth's crust into the Mohorovičić discontinuity, and to provide an Earth science complement to the high profile Space Race. The project was initially led by the American Miscellaneous Society (AMSOC) with funding from the National Science Foundation.

The film discusses the difference between active and passive torpedoes, and goes on to describe the operation of the active type torpedoes.

At 2:57 the passive Fido acoustic torpedo, also known as the Mine Mark 24, is shown. At 3:18 the Mark 27 Mod 0 acoustic torpedo is shown. USS Chivo (SS-341), a Balao-class submarine, is seen in the background. At 3:36 the Mark 28 Torpedo is seen, similar to the Mark 18. At 3:50 the Mark 34 Torpedo is shown. At 4:00 the Mark 27 Mod 4 is shown. At 4:15, passive torpedoes are shown. At 4;25 active torpedoes are shown including the Mark 32 Mod 1, the Mark 41 Mod 0, the Mark 43 Mod 0 and the Mark 41 Mod 1. The Mark 35 Mod 12 is also shown, but is not discussed in the film.

At 5:09 an early Piasecki PV-3 / HRP helicopter is shown dropping an active torpedo. Animation then shows the "pinging" of the torpedo, as it turns and dives to search for a target (making a search circle). At 6;23 the pursuit circle is defined, and the "on/off steering" method that the torpedo uses to find its target are discussed. At 7:17, the final search circle is entered and the explosive charge is detonated. 

At 7:43 some of the non-optimal situations that a torpedo might encounter are shown, including shallow depth "angle blanking". 

At 8:54 the Mark 32 Mod 1 is shown, capable of being dropped from a blimp or surface ship. Its characteristics are then discussed. At 11:00, the Mark 41 Mod 0 is shown, an anti-submarine weapon only launched by aircraft. At 13:42 the Mark 43 Mod 0 is shown, again being dropped by a PV-3 helicopter. The torpedo's method of operation is then discussed. At 16:05, the Mark 43 Mod 1 is shown and its characteristics are discussed.

At 19:48 the Mark 43, Mod 1, is shown being rigged for electrical firing, and its arming system shown.

The film features footage of a Navy N2S Stearman flying the pattern and uses graphics to illustrate the concepts and issues new pilots will need to understand to perform the maneuvers required to successfully complete the flight pattern. The film opens with an N2S landing and a discussion of the approach to landing. The film discusses how the rate of turn and altitude need to be understood to complete the task. Shorter turns are used for a lack of altitude while wider turns are used when there is too much altitude. Wind is another factor trainees must keep in mind, as its effect on the plane during the landing process is significant. To compensate for crosswind, the pilot must point the plane’s nose at a diagonal and fly at a diagonal to reach the target destination; this is called “drift angle correction.” Flying involves understanding two kinds of speed: air speed (the plane’s speed) and ground speed (the speed at which the plane travels in relation to the ground). In short, to successfully fly the 90-degree pattern, the pilot must takeoff, make a climbing turn based on course rules, level off, turn again to be in the 90-degree position for landing, and understand wind conditions and how that can impact the landing. The film shows two pilots in a Stearman (12:47) preparing to land, and informs viewers that they must be conscious of wind direction and speed: pilots can use smoke, bodies of water, grain fields, or trees to identify the direction of the wind and judge its force. The pilots then must enter the traffic pattern at the airfield, always entering at an upwind position. Once in pattern, they should keep the plane at an altitude of 500, get into a favorable position for cutting the throttle while avoiding having a narrow ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0a816741-6e9e-4932-be50-b6aa4295a1d3/0b224339-2029-4960-8e67-edf1576b1f03-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2ieZjBVGgRWvFCfFhn6XRD</video:player_loc><video:duration>1328</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T05:40:12.711Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5uU1o2AejdycgXWur2WbVj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/acfe6865-26b7-4c1a-81a6-524a016d5dc0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII PRIMARY FLIGHT TRAINING: RACE TRACK PATTERNS PART II   57034</video:title><video:description>Primary Flight Training: Race Track Patterns, Part II (MN-3474k) is the second short U.S. Navy training film from 1945 that discusses the basics of flying a race track pattern. The film features a Navy instructor explaining concepts to his student, and it uses footage of a Navy N2S Stearman flying the patterns while supplementing with graphics to illustrate the concepts and issues new pilots will need to understand to perform the primary maneuver of the film—the 180-degree power-on approach. The film begins with an N2S taking off (00:34), then parking at the airstrip, where the instructor and student get out. The student asks his instructor how to gauge how far the downwind leg should be from the landing line, which begins their conversation. The two discuss the 180-degree power-on approach, which is similar to the 90-degree power-off approach but requires an understanding of power and attitude to successfully perform. The discussion is interspersed with footage of flying (sometimes from the cockpit’s point-of-view (11:21)) and graphic illustrations. With the power-on approach, a plane can fly a little slower without stalling; moving the plane’s nose up or down (attitude) allows for the increase or decrease in speed. The key is to understand the relationship of attitude over power to air speed over the rate of descent. The instructor explains how to perform the maneuver, how to use the field and landing spot to gauge the plane’s situation, how to avoid stalling, and the importance of knowing the sight, sound, and feel of the plane at various speeds and attitudes rather than being purely dependent on instruments. The two men also discuss common mistakes new pilots make (altitude issues, rate of descent issues), how to land in a crosswind, and how to avoid landing errors (16:45) by making correct adjustments for drift. The film concludes with the instructor telling his student how to takeoff in a crosswind (19:53) and dealing with drift by adjusting attitude, speed...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/246d6e2c-fc0e-4d4a-8e6b-f8bb53e06c9c/a45b4033-5d64-4935-b6a9-702a64d5fb9c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5uU1o2AejdycgXWur2WbVj</video:player_loc><video:duration>1332</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T05:43:29.256Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t55CCtzJsf39f9ZMLQWWAy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b4dee952-cf07-4fea-ba17-e91384653ed3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s FRENCH NATIONAL RAILWAYS  SOCIETE NATIONALE DES CHEMS DE FER FRANCIAS SNCF 61724</video:title><video:description>Distributed by McGraw Hill in the mid-1950s, this French language film tells the story of the SNCF, the French national railway. The film was originally produced as part of the "Ici La France" series, intended to be used as a foreign language teaching tool for foreign students. The film begins with footage of model railways at :25. At :53 one of Paris' many railway stations is shown at rush hour. At 3:28 the film flashes back in time to show early French steam locomotives. At 4:11, in footage likely from a silent movie, a train crew struggles to clear a cow from the tracks and with a steep grade that requires passengers to push the train.  At 5:20, the train shed at a train station is seen as modern trains shuttle in and out of the city. At 6:00 a steam locomotive is lubricated by a workman. At 6:24, a locomotive is shown on a turntable and then being watered. At 6:37 the throttle is moved and the engine rumbles forward. At 10:12, a modern electric locomotive is shown. This engine CC-7143 appears to be one of the CC 7100series of electric locomotives built by Alsthom. These derive from two CC 7001 and CC 7002 prototypes built in 1949 1 that tested the principle of total traction (all wheels are drive) for power locomotives. Twice, the CC 7100 broke the track speed record. At 10:56 the BB-9004 is shown. The BB 9003 and BB 9004 are French electric DC locomotives with two bogies of two drive axles. Built at the same time as the BB 9001 and 9002 , these four machines were designed to test the behavior of total traction locomotives in operation and to define the mechanical and electrical characteristics of machines to be ordered in quantity. On 29 March 1955, the BB 9004 broke the rail speed record of 331 km / h on the Landes line between Facture and Morcenx 1 , one day after the CC 7107 . The SNCF brought the same speed record to the credit of the two machines in order to spare the susceptibility of the manufacturers.

The busy streets of Bangkok are shown, including cars, bicyclists, trolleys, trucks, and pedestrians (2:22-2:53). A water taxi carries passengers past bungalows built on stilts that jut out over the water (2:54-4:00). The marketplace exists in individual boats selling merchandise, rice, fruit, and produce (4:01-4:55). The robed Buddhist monks beg for food from house-to-house and are shown in a boat (4:58-5:08). Buddhist monastery temples are shown (5:09), including that at Bodh Gaya (5:20), Wat Phra Kaew (5:30), and Wat Arun (5:41). Monks walk by highly decorated walls (5:57), including colorful stone figures (6:05), a golden female statue (6:12), and other statues (6:17).

It shows the PGC's activities in Iran during the Second World War. If you take a good look at this film, you'll get an idea of how vast the Allied supply effort to the Soviets really was — as literally hundreds of millions of dollars of aircraft, tanks, and various supplies are shown being offloaded in Iran and hastily shipped north to the Eastern front. 

At this time Iran was used as a bridge for Lend-Lease supplies to reach the embattled Soviet Union. At :37, the film starts with an overview of operations at the port of Khorramshahr, Iran on the Persian Gulf. Khorramshahr is an inland port city located approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) north of Abadan. The city extends to the right bank of the Shatt Al Arab waterway near its confluence with the Haffar arm of the Karun river. Here you will see material of every description being unloaded, from trucks to cranes, tanks, aircraft, electric cable, oil drums, cans of ham, Ford tractors, and more. At 11:14 the second Persian port of Bandar Shahpur is shown. At 13:32, trucks are shown being assembled in the field and at 20:18 a marshaling yard is seen. Soviet officers are seen at 22:35 accepting some of these trucks. At 25:19 trucks head north towards the Soviet Union. At 28:00 the enormous supply dump at Khorramshahr is shown. At 34:54, some of the railroad system is shown, with goods moved by modern diesel electric locomotives (most likely built by Baldwin or GE in the USA) at work. Long trains are shown moving with huge loads of supplies destined for the Eastern Front including tanks, trucks, and artillery. At 40:24, American and Russian officers confer. 

At 43:20, the airplane assembly area is shown and the 82nd Air Depot Group, which assembles planes from crates.

It’s narrated by Jack Costello and produced by F.D. Kay. It begins with a colorful ‘focus leader’ for the film operator and the opening credits (:06-1:14). The film begins with souvenirs of Bermuda, including a Pan AM bag with Ansco and Kodak film (1:15-1:32). A “Walk Your Horses” metal sign sits above the gate passed in a horse-drawn tour buggy with fringe on the top (1:33-2:09). It passes a police officer in shorts directing traffic (2:10) and other buggies full of tourists (2:11-2:34). The narrow roads are often cut through high cliffs of coral and limestone (2:35-2:55) that open to roads along the ocean (2:56-3:06). The Gibbs Hill Lighthouse is the oldest cast iron lighthouse in the world (3:07-3:13). Bermuda’s reefs are shown from a bird’s eye view (3:14-3:48). Fort Saint Catherine is shown (3:49-4:00). The glimmering beaches contrast with the deep blues of the ocean (4:10-4:20). The car must stop for the world’s smallest drawbridge in action (4:21-5:, 12). A trophy for the Bermuda Goodwill Tournament is shown at the Castle Harbour Golf Club (5:13-6:00). A piece of bread dropped into a pond creates a frantic fish frenzy (6:01-6:17). Out on the water deep-sea fishing, they catch yellow-fin tuna and a snapper, while the captain uses his feet to guide the wheel (6:18-6:55). Sailboats and yachts play in the water, as do power boaters and cruisers. (6:56-7:53). A group of four women water-skiers are pulled up, as men on one ski zip past, and two go over a jump multiple times (7:54-8:22). Individuals go on a bell diving underwater walk to feed the fish by hand (8:23-8:50), while others scuba dive (8:51-9:06), while another paints a picture while at the bottom of the ocean (9:07-9:20). The bell helmet divers are shown close-up petting a fish, another holds a hoop that fish swim through, and two fish appear to be kissing (9:21-9:59).

The film begins at ;11 with images of Kandy, Ceylon -- current day Sri Lanka.  Kandy is a major city in Sri Lanka located in the Central Province. It was the last capital of the ancient kings' era of Sri Lanka. The city lies in the midst of hills in the Kandy plateau, which crosses an area of tropical plantations, mainly tea. At :25 the Temple of the Tooth is shown. Sri Dalada Maligawa or the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is a Buddhist temple in the city of Kandy, Sri Lanka. It is located in the royal palace complex of the former Kingdom of Kandy, which houses the relic of the tooth of the Buddha. Since ancient times, the relic has played an important role in local politics because it is believed that whoever holds the relic holds the governance of the country. Kandy was the last capital of the Sri Lankan kings and is a World Heritage Site mainly due to the temple. At 1:50 the Elephant Park at Katugastota is shown. This attraction still exists today, allowing tourists to view elephants bathing in the river.

At 4:08 the film transitions to Japan, where street scenes are shown in a quiet enclave. At 4:29 a Japanese home is shown with an indoor fountain. At 4:43, women and children are shown in traditional dress. At 6:00 a marketplace is shown. 

At 8:30 the film moves to China, where a wedding procession is shown. The setting is likely Peping, or Beijing. A few moments later a funeral procession is shown at 9:17. At 10:58 a streetcar is seen making its way past the procession. At 11:05, the film shows a section of the Great Wall of China. More of the Wall is seen at 11:58; in between is a ride on a train. 

At 12:20, Thailand is shown and specifically the Khlongs, an area where houses are on the canals. A khlong -- also commonly spelled klong -- commonly refers to a canal in Thailand. These canals are spawned by the C...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4d7ecbda-bfdd-4f9d-9035-28420d500e60/084123d5-8dd6-44ab-b21a-c6238e5ecd1d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/az2Cuedc5HY1BnwpfHcgqd</video:player_loc><video:duration>905</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T06:01:02.111Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1SqvstZpXjS2WLUbQPt5bR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d8856013-c517-46e9-8ea5-4f2d5f937c2c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1962 PAN AM   IRELAND TRAVELOGUE   BOEING 377 JET CLIPPER   61174</video:title><video:description>This 1962 color film about Ireland is one of a series of Pan Am New Horizons travelogues. It is narrated by Ed Stokes and produced by Movietonews, Inc. It begins with a colorful ‘focus leader’ for the film operator (:06-:50). The film opens with snippets of Ireland (:51). The New Horizons credits are shown (1:23). A Pan American Boeing 377 Jet Clipper flight arrives and the crew and passengers disembark (1:48-2:00). A couple leaves the passport office in a Austin-Healey Sprite (2:02-2:22) to begin touring Dublin. Busy streets are shown full of pedestrians, cars, trucks, and double-decker buses (2:23-2:40). The couple drives through the countryside to an oyster festival (2:42-2:57). They follow a marching band of men in kilts (2:59) followed by the Lord Mayor of Galway (3:08-3:35). A jig is performed for the crowd (3:36-4:10). The couple continue on their adventure down a dirt road (4:11) and past a thatched roof cottage being repaired (4:24-4:36). On the other side, a woman spins wool on a giant spinning wheel (4:38-4:55). Finished tweed fabrics are shown and sold made up into such items as sweaters (4:56-5:24). Other duty-free items include perfumes, gold and silver jewelry, watches, and cameras (5:25-5:32). At a fashion house, a pretty woman models a matching Irish wool ensemble of dress and coat, with matching pillbox hat, long gloves, and heels to buyers who are also fashionably dressed. Other models also showcase a short shift, a sheath dress with jacket and matching pillbox hat, and an evening dress (5:33-5:59). The couple next travels to Blarney Castle to explore the ruins (6:00) and kiss the Blarney Stone (6:15-6:25). Additional ruins of stone structures are shown (6:26-6:49). Artisans create a stained-glass window (6:50-7:40). A glassblower creates a Waterford Crystal piece, and several finished products are shown (7:41-8:13). The couple now watches a steeplechase competition (8:26-9:04), followed by the Irish Sweepstakes (9:05-9:16).

The film begins with a brief history of the creation and expansion of the Air Force Air Commandos (01:13), a special force designed to combat communist insurgencies throughout the world. The Air Commando force begins with the activation of 4400 Combat Crew training squadron in April 1961, and initially consists of only 32 aircraft and 360 men. In November 1961, a detachment of the squadron is sent to South Vietnam to train the South Vietnamese Army. Shortly after, the squadron size increases, and the Special Air Warfare Center (SAWC) under Tactical Air Command is established at the Eglin, Florida Air Force base. By 1964, the force expands to four tactical squadrons at Eglin, with several other squadrons stationed throughout the world. Eglin remains the force’s headquarters, where doctrines, tactics, procedures, and equipment for use in special warfare are developed (04:30). A variety of versatile aircraft is used by the Air Commandos, including modified T-28s (05:56), B-26 Ks (06:45), C-123s, C-46s, C-47s, and U-10s (07:55). Nearly all aircraft are capable of flying photo reconnaissance missions with the specially designed cameras (08:15). Air Commandos train in the use of the cameras, and they are also trained in processing photos, as each unit has its own mobile processing lab (10:46). Commandos participate in rigorous physical training, as well as in hand-to-hand combat (09:10) and weapons use—specifically with the .38 caliber revolver and the M-16 rifle. Commandos learn a practical vocabulary in either Spanish or French and study the climate and customs of the countries they’ll be assigned to. Commandos are also cross-trained in communications operations. Medics in each unit are trained in medical programs so they can not only car...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bcf2be60-bef2-4211-a108-b72564f54c41/6a06b260-2f49-4c39-bed2-8e5f8a4e3184-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pkghPSqBFe3XZS145jn5sD</video:player_loc><video:duration>1641</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T06:07:10.388Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/91wBV8btyaZDSJFnyptK6i</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0739a639-a56a-4ae7-acc5-edd2cee4a453.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s HAVANA, CUBA &amp; CARIBBEAN TOUR ABOARD OCEAN LINER  RMS EMPRESS OF AUSTRALIA 61684</video:title><video:description>This silent, 16mm home movie dates to the 1930s and shows a trip to Cuba aboard the ship RMS Empress of Austalia (ship's bell can be seen at 1:15).  The film begins at sea at :24 with passengers playing games on the deck. RMS Empress of Australia was an ocean liner built in 1913–1919 by Vulcan AG shipyard in Stettin, Germany for the Hamburg America Line. She was refitted for Canadian Pacific Steamships; and the ship – the third of three CP vessels to be named Empress of China – was renamed yet again in 1922 as Empress of Australia.. In trans-Pacific service, the ship garnered fame for her part in rescue efforts at Tokyo following the Great Kantō earthquake of 1923. In trans-Atlantic service, she earned distinction in 1927 by bringing the Prince of Wales from England to the Diamond Jubilee celebrations in Canada. She was honoured to serve as Royal Yacht during the Royal tour of Canada in 1939.

At 1:55, we visit the wheelhouse of the Empress of Australia and passengers pose at the helm. At 2:25 lunch or more likely high tea is served and at 2:34 a steward poses for the camera. At 2:47, our first glimpse of what might be Jamaica's rugged coastline. (It is possible it is also not Jamaica but for example, the coast of Panama.) At 3;12, the ship comes into port and is greeted by small boats. At 3:29 a young boy passenger looks into the camera. At 3:39, swimmers near the boat hope for coins to be thrown their way. At 6:01 we're in Jamaica as a sign proclaims "Kingston 13 miles" and "Bog Walk 15 miles".  At 6:10, a dazzling shot out a car window of what might be Kingston streets. At 6:35, passengers pose with local children. At 6:59 we see a rambling, mission-style hotel. Perhaps a viewer will be able to tell us its name. At 7:23 the entrance to Havana Harbor is seen with Morro Castle. At 7:40, the film begins to contain what appear to be commercially produced segments. At 7:50, a single stack ocean liner is seen in Havana harbor. At 7:55 are views of the Cuban capitol ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/40dbfaa3-7c74-40c6-8531-707322bb1fa7/717516c6-0a78-4991-a3db-dd6dacedb0d6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/91wBV8btyaZDSJFnyptK6i</video:player_loc><video:duration>822</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T06:07:43.943Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/11UUQW5wagp6GeaUBBBMDo</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1807221e-6f1f-4270-beef-330d5bbdc75b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"HIGHWAYS OF AGONY" INFAMOUS DRIVER'S EDUCATION SCARE FILM    61704</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

One of the all time most infamous of the highway safety scare film genre, HIGHWAY OF AGONY (1969) was made by Highway Safety Films of Mansfield, Ohio. This was the filmmaking arm of the Highway Safety Commission, an organization responsible for haunting the dreams of an entire generation of young drivers. In this era, when safety belts were not mandatory and air bags were yet a distant dream, and things like disc brakes and powered steering had yet to be widely adopted, America's highways were the scene of daily carnage. Part of the problem, as you can see in the film, was the fact that the automobiles of the 1940s-60s were not built to survive accidents. Filled with white sheet covered corpses and bloodied, mangled survivors, and images of shattered steel and torn rubber, "Highway of Agony" remains a chilling reminder that speed and inattention -- can kill. 

While the film is full of various accident footage -- all of it shockingly real -- perhaps one of the worst in terms of damage appears at 20:00 where a Chevrolet Corvair is seen after a head-on collision. The car, which Ralph Nader singled out for its unsafe design in "Unsafe at Any Speed" -- has completely disintegrated. 

The film looks at various scenarios, including a focus on the effects of drinking and driving at (25:40). At 24:10 the film shows car vs. train, also not for the faint of heart. 

The film ends with a terrifying dolly shot over a row of bodies on a highway...a line of bodies 50 miles long every year..and while you were watching the movie the line grew 15 feet.

Various military aircraft are shown throughout the film as it discusses ground accidents (:38). A man working on an aircraft unknowingly knocks over a can of flammable liquid, sees it, and cleans it up (:49-1:22). Most accidents are caused by carelessness, negligence, or ignorance. The Navy’s flight safety record is shown to decrease from 1947 through 1958 (1:31) and ground accidents from the same dates increase (2:03). A squadron of Douglas A-4 Skyhawk jet fighters is shown on the ground (2:10). Many parts and planes are scattered throughout the inside of the repair building (2:17-2:29). Damage inflicted on the ground due to accidents include a battered fuselage (2:30), smashed wingtips (2:32), and propeller chewed surfaces (2:35). A tool accidently left in a compartment (2:56) will damage an aircraft when its wings are spread. Many accidents occur when towing using a NC-5 (3:05), taxiing Wildcats with wings uplifted (3:13), ground turn-up of engines (3:19), and fueling (3:25). At (3;45) a Grumman F9F-8T 'Cougar' is shown. Safe ground operation rules are shown and then applied to each of the situations for rule one, using enough men (4:10-5:30). Two planes with propellers touched while passing (5:32). The complete depiction, including actual photos, show a $900,000 towing accident (5:46-6:35). The second rule is use qualified men, shown by a NC-5 being driven carelessly (6:45). Other damage caused to planes by servicing vehicles is shown (7:00-7:13). Another NC-5 being carelessly driven is shown and the resulting damage (7:22-7:54) to an F-80 / TV-2. The correct operation is shown (7:55-8:45). The third rule is supervise. A full inspection is shown (8:54-10:15) of an A-1 Skyraider. The ramifications of not following this rule are shown in actual photos, including the total loss and damage to multiple F-9s (10:16-10:47).

The film begins with the story of Mrs. Evelyn Carson, who is appearing on a TV show to discuss her successful fight against cancer. A dentist named Dr. Ford appears in the television studio -- the man who detected Carson's cancer and saved her life -- and the film launches into the main title sequence. At 2:26, a student named Jim talks to Dr. Robert A. Ford about his TV appearance and discusses the mouth cancer diagnosis. Soon the discussion moves to the idea of being a dentist, at 3:25. At 4:00, a modern university is shown and various career options explored. At 4:23, a dentist is shown at work in a teaching hospital. At 6:00, a pediatric dentist's job is described, and then various other patient types are shown including at 7:20, a woman who has no teeth. At 7:43, dentures are created for a patient -- a form of "artistry".  At 9:26 an X-ray machine is shown along with other modern dental apparatus. 
At 11:13, various fields of study for future dentists are explored and the academic rigors of dental school explored. At 12:40, dental students are seen at work in the school. At 15:10, dentists are shown working with children and looking at the development of children's jaws and teeth. At 15:30 a microscope is used to look at micro-organisms in the human mouth. At 15:45, X-ray films are shown, and at 15:50 a medicine cabinet of drugs is shown. At 17:40, more work with the microscope is conducted (to the sound of cha-cha music!)  At 18:50 the role of the public health dentist is described and at 19:16, research conducted. At 19:30, cleft palate cases are explored. At 21:40, Washington D.C. and the Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare is shown as well as the Dental Public Health and Resources program shown. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a466bdd4-1b19-498c-87ec-e1ad7b69208f/2c93d0c8-8e83-48f6-b8ae-f942f501d08a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/misukUYPCingqb8eqJjcni</video:player_loc><video:duration>1682</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T06:14:43.748Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9qGG3UYfJ76TyfhNWZSPdN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dcfe524c-ddd7-41b2-ab69-fad6b6922987.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s JET PROPULSION  HOW A JET ENGINE WORKS  EDUCATIONAL FILM   MCDONNELL F2H-2 BANSHEE 84154</video:title><video:description>This 1952 educational film about Jet Propulsion was produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica, in collaboration with the Illinois Institute of Technology. It opens with a view of an airplane landing at an airport and scans across TWA and United Airlines DC-3 and Convair passenger planes (:24-42). Crew and passengers disembark from a United Airlines Mainliner DC-6 plane (:43-:50). A maintenance man perches on one of the plane’s giant air-cooled engines (:51), complete with metal propellers that generate thousands of horsepower. (:52-1:00). They have variable pitch, controlled by the pilot (1:03), and are driven by a piston engine. The propellers begin spinning and the plane takes off (1:04-1:30). A propeller spins on a line of experimental military planes (1:34-1:52). At (1;49) Grumman F8F-2 Bearcats are shown on the flight line. The mechanics and limitations of how a piston engine works in a propeller is illustrated (1:53-2:15). The solution was a jet propulsion engine (2:16-2:37). The mechanics are illustrated by a child blowing up and releasing a balloon (2:37-50). Newton’s ‘third law of motion’ is explained, using an illustration of a balloon (2:57-3:40), a child jumping out of a Radio Flyer wagon (3:41-3:56), a water sprinkler (3:58-4:13), and compressed gas powering a toy model (4:14-4:25). Compressed gas is further illustrated as to how a turbo-jet engine works, which uses a built-in gas turbine (4:26-7:16). A turbo-jet engine is shown up close, including its fuel pump and an oil pump (7:17-7:39). A Navy pilot boards his McDonnell F2H-2 Banshee fighter jet, takes off, and multiple flying angles are shown (7:40-9:44). The mechanics of the efficiency of a turbo-jet engine is illustrated, including a turbo-prop, a pulse jet, and a ramjet (9:45-11:05). Another type of jet propulsion is rocket propulsion, shown by its launch (11:06-11:29). The Navy jet aircraft is shown again, including multiple planes in flight (11:30-12:14).

It opens with the gates of St. Augustine, founded by the Spanish in 1565 (:45). Two children take a drink from Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth (1:04-1:10). Just outside the gates is the 1672 Castillo de San Marcos, renamed Fort Marion in 1821. (1:13-1:35). People pick celery and cauliflower (1:37-1:55). Carrots are picked using a mechanical digger (1:57). Men climb ladders to pick citrus.

TAMALPAIS AND MUIR WOODS RAILWAY  1898 &amp; 1906  HISTORIC FILMS 61244</video:title><video:description>This historic, silent film showing the Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railway was compiled from paper prints at the Library of Congress in 1959. The paper positives shown here were originally filmed by cameramen working for Thomas Edison in 1898 and the Miles Brothers (filmmakers from San Francisco) in 1906. While the earlier section of the film shows wood burning locomotives with diamond smokestacks designed to capture embers, the second half of the film shows oil-burning locomotives with straight stacks.
[N.B.:Before 1913 the line was actually called the Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scene Railway (since the company hoped to do commercial development in the area).]

The Mount Tamalpais &amp; Muir Woods Railway was a scenic tourist railway operating between Mill Valley and the east peak of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California, covering a distance of 8.19 miles (13.18 km), with a 2.88-mile (4.63 km) spur line to the Muir Woods. The railroad was incorporated in January 1896, and closed in the summer of 1930.[2] Originally planned as a standard gauge electric trolley line, the railroad was powered by a succession of geared steam locomotives. Billed as the "Crookedest Railroad in the World," the line was renowned for its steep and serpentine route, winding through picturesque terrain to a mountaintop tavern providing first class hospitality and striking views of the San Francisco Bay Area. Despite its popularity, the railway met its demise following a fire in 1929, and dwindling ridership when the automobile could finally drive to Tamalpais' summit. 

The railroad became famous for its gravity cars, four-wheel coasters that took advantage of the steep, relentless grade, were first introduced in 1902. Gravity cars had an operator known as a gravityman who sat in the front right seat (on most cars) and operated two brake levers that pressed heavy duty brake shoes against the car's wheels. Gravitymen had strict orders to obey a 12 mile-per-hour speed limit as they g...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/da59a072-164b-408a-8542-7948face0f0d/966dbe6a-df3a-4f87-87ac-ceeed08c2ff4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sXQSbr6eKx2yag98xgW7Er</video:player_loc><video:duration>806</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T06:28:02.288Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/irEYvqC7CP3Ntsd9BGKUJ6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cf592bfe-df0e-472e-8f5f-79a9b6414369.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>I-CLASS SUBMARINES AT JAPANESE NAVAL BASE AT KURE 16mm WWII HOME MOVIE 20724</video:title><video:description>This interesting silent 16mm home movie was shot by an unknown American during WWII. The film starts with images in what appears to be Hawaii, with a sign "Hale-Punaluu" appearing at the 11 second mark. U.S. personnel are seen milling about and drinking beer, and at 1:24 someone climbs a coconut palm. The scene is likely towards the end of the war, or immediately after. At 1:54 a pair of swim trunks are shown off and at 2:02 a cross-dressing sailor puts on a wild dance show.

At 2:33 the scene switches to the Yokosuka Naval Base in Occupied Japan. At 2:47 an I-400 class Japanese submarine is seen at anchor, and at 3:03 the boats I-40i and I-14 are seen. The Japanese submarine I-14 was a Type AM submarine built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II. These Type AM submarines were versions of the preceding A2 class-class with the command facilities replaced by an enlarged aircraft hangar were fitted for a pair of Aichi M6A1 floatplane bombers. The hangars are clearly seen on the deck of the submarines. At 3:18 the I-400 boat can be seen in the rear. 

At 3:55 are images of an aircraft carrier as seen from a small boat, and at 4:11 a battleship. At 4;32 what appears to be a Japanese battleship is seen. This ship is seen up close at 4:48. This is most likely the Hyuga and the scene is Kure, Japan. Hyūga (日向) was the second and last Ise-class battleship built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the 1910s and considered obsolete during WWII. She was sunk by American airstrikes in 1945. The ship was raised and broken up by the Kure Dockyard of the Harima Zōsen Corporation from 2 July 1946 to 4 July 1947. 

At 6:46 parts of the victorious American fleet are seen in a busy harbor. At 7:02, sailors are seen leaving their ship. At 7:24 an aircraft carrier is seen on the horizon. This is apparently CV-31, Bonne Homme Richard, one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers completed during or shortly after World War II for the United States Navy.

It begins somewhere in a Pacific harbor, probably Yokosuka, Japan, at :26, with images of a cruiser at sea. The ship's number is not visible but it might be USS Los Angeles. Visible on the rear deck at :35 is a crane used for seaplane retrieval. At 1:30 is what appears to be images of Japan, with damaged buildings evident. At 2:05, a large harbor is seen, with what appears to be USS Montpelier CL-57 visible in the foreground.  At 2:49 a large submarine tender is seen. At 3:13, a warship with its gun barrels removed is seen, and at 3:32 a smashed Japanese battleship is seen, apparently disabled and abandoned at anchor. At 5:42, members of what appear to be the Royal Navy and Army officers are seen on deck. We'd love to ID these people so if you know who they are -- please let us know in the comments.

At 7:00, a wrecked harbor, probably Yokosuka, is seen, with an airplane hangar (likely for seaplanes) visible.  At 8:30 the camera turns to activities aboard a warship, from the armament it is likely a light cruiser but its identity is unclear. At 10:17 a speech is made to the assembled crew. At 12:13, the ship nears what might be Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the end of a long journey.

At this time the crew consisted of Charlie Bock and USAF Col. Ted Sternfall (sp?) flying out of Edwards Air Force Base. At 4:09, an aerial refueling exercise with a KC-135 is shown. At 6:15, a high speed run is made with the aircraft entering Mach 1.0 at 6:20. 

The prototype B-1 four-turbofan strategic heavy bomber made its maiden flight on 23 December 1974; designed to meet USAF Strategic Air Command's Advanced Manned Strategic Aircraft (AMSA) requirement, it incorporated variable geometry wings (maximum sweep of 67 degrees), accommodated a four-man crew and had an estimated maximum speed of Mach 2 at altitude.

The B-1A would not be deployed due to rising costs affiliated with the program. President Jimmy Carter defunded the program in 1977. President Ronald Reagan endorsed the aircraft when he came into office, but pushed for a new version dubbed the B-1B that had subsonic, low level, deep penetration capabilities. 

The Rockwell B-1B Lancer is a supersonic variable-sweep wing, heavy bomber used by the United States Air Force. It is commonly called the "Bone" (from "B-One"). It is one of three strategic bombers in the U.S. Air Force fleet as of 2018, the other two being the B-2 Spirit "Stealth Bomber", and the B-52 Stratofortress.

The B-1 was first envisioned in the 1960s as a platform that would combine the Mach 2 speed of the B-58 Hustler with the range and payload of the B-52, and would ultimately replace both bombers. After a long series of studies, Rockwell International (now part of Boeing) won the design contest for what emerged as the B-1A. This version had a top speed of Mach 2.2 at high altitude and the capability of flying for long distances at Mach 0.85 at very low altitudes. The combination of the high cost of the aircraft, the introduction of the AGM-86 cruis...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/67cfb7ca-5b63-4a36-95f0-a88fc1cc5887/9e5506d1-62c2-4aa5-b2b4-886926cc5435-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dPvnaR3HFtLbvaTsnPhcWP</video:player_loc><video:duration>583</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T06:40:40.654Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/q1EN6m9UAhDpfyRnRaDbou</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/568eb933-bf11-48be-b701-2b36169137cd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MILLER BEER FAR EAST DIARY   VIETNAM WAR  USO TOUR with CHRIS NOEL &amp; BHETTY WALDRON  26084</video:title><video:description>In FAR EAST DIARY actress and singer Chris Noel discusses her time on the G.I.

In Thailand, the group visits troops around the country and receives several gifts from the soldiers, including a plane named after Chris Noel, and military uniforms that Noel and Waldron magically turn into performing outfits (09:08). They join several soldiers while seeing the sights in and around Bangkok (10:53). Noel says that one of the highlights of the tour is when soldiers perform for her, such as private Ralph G. Neason (15:00), whose vocals earn him a kiss from Betty Waldron. They then go to Vietnam and tour the country (17:30), as Chris talks about the joy of spending time with the soldiers. Chris Noel shares a word from Miller Beer, promoting the Miller Man contest, before a montage of shots of the performers singing for soldiers and traveling around the region concludes the film.

Unlike Jane Fonda, Chris Noel was an actress and singer who steadfastly supported U.S. troops and regularly performed for them (primarily in Vietnam); she hosted her own radio show for GIs in Vietnam and advocated for their wellbeing in the decades that followed the Vietnam War.

This was part of a program called the Civilian Military Training Camp system, which operated in the years between the wars. Fort Hoyle was first established in 1922 on Gunpowder Neck in Harford County and became a part of Edgewood Arsenal in 1940. The 1st Field Artillery Brigade is the primary unit shown in the film. 

The film begins with images of a U.S. Army encampment with tents at 1:00, and a title card indicating that the Regimental Commander was Major Floyd B. Whitebread, with the Post Commander Brig. Gen. James B. Gowan, a WWI veteran. At 1:42, a title card indicates that "250 CMTC Boys were given a thorough training." ( Citizens' Military Training Camps (CMTC) were military training programs of the United States. Held annually each summer during the years 1921 to 1940, the CMTC camps differed from National Guard and Organized Reserve training in that the program allowed male citizens to obtain basic military training without an obligation to call-up for active duty. The CMTC were authorized by the National Defense Act of 1920 as a compromise that rejected universal military training. )

The rest of the film shows the exercise as it unfolds. It includes the use of mechanized elements such as the tractors shown at 2:32, towing artillery pieces. At 3:07 exercise competitions are seen, including at 3:20 a tug of war. At 3:55 chemical warfare exercise is conducted with aircraft demonstrating how large amounts of mustard gas or some other gas could be spread from the sky. At 5:58 a smokepot is used to signal air support to begin bombing runs. At 7:23 a bomb fragment is examined. At 7:45 the aircraft rake the field with smoke as part of a mustard gas demonstration, and at 8:10 the war ends and the CMTC participants return to civilian clothes -- and civilian lives. The film ends with a funny mock fight over which is better -- mechanized or horse...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d77839d5-370e-4563-baf7-3f473bbdad3a/7f2331a6-2745-47e0-95aa-15b4023fefa6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sBdjdrYmdUnGPW9QEwgqAN</video:player_loc><video:duration>583</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T06:42:59.335Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jcMLJoeZCZy4orupLxt6tP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/81c068bb-74c8-4ed6-a88c-f622c8d2396b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>REAGAN ERA U.S. AIR FORCE PROMOTIONAL FILM    " THE EYES OF THE EAGLE  THE WINGS OF THE DOVE " 22614</video:title><video:description>One of the more famous U.S. Air Force promotional films ever made, EYES OF THE EAGLE WINGS OF THE DOVE is a Ronald Reagan era production.

The first is entitled ATTACK / COUNTER ATTACK! and the second WINGS OVER LEYTE. The first film looks at amphibious landings in the European and Pacific Theaters of war, emphasizing the incredible amounts of supplies and material that go into making victory possible. The second film shows the naval battle of Leyte Gulf and also contains a fascinating look at the development of civil aircraft from WWII bombers and other aircraft. 

The first segment, MN-3705-G, ATTACK / COUNTER ATTACK!, is a 1945 Naval Workers Digest for the Bureau of Aeronautics that predates September 2 (:24). It opens with the wings of a Grumman F4F4 Wildcat unfolding before taking off (:24-:34). The New York Times are shown (:45-:57). June 6, 1944, D-Day, shows an ocean of ships (1:04). Liberation troops march in Paris in August (1:06-1:25) and in Belgium in September (1:26-1:33). The after effects of an amphibious attack on Japan in 1944 are shown (1:34-2:00) as soldiers wade to boats (2:01-2:10). The USS Hull (DD-350) battles waves [she would sink December 18, 1944 in Halsey’s Typhoon] (2:11-2:43). Hellcats are loaded (2:45-3:04) while pilots are briefed before boarding planes (3:05-3:22). An off-ship camera shows a Hellcat taxiing off (3:23-3:40). Battleships prepare to bombard targets (3:42). OS2U Kingfisher seaplanes are catapulted to aid in directing the fire (3:46-3:54).

This silent footage dates to the time of the Martin P6M Seamaster flight test program, with the prototype the third P6M-2 production aircraft featured.  At the start of the film you will see this incredible amphibian in the air on a test flight. The aircraft is seen taxiing at :58 and then starting high speed taxi runs. At 5:00, the Seamaster's retrieval dolly is seen being positioned. At 5:16 the cockpit area of the aircraft is seen indicating it is "Ship 9", but it is unclear what this means since only five aircraft were built. At 6:40 the aircraft is seen in position to be mated to the retrieval dolly. Some of the frogmen who perform this task are seen on the docks. At 12:00, the aircraft is seen entering the water on the dolly. Additional taxi tests are then shown. 

The Martin P6M SeaMaster, built by the Glenn L. Martin Company, was a 1950s strategic bomber flying boat for the United States Navy that almost entered service; production aircraft were built and Navy crews were undergoing operational conversion, with a service entry about six months off, when the program was cancelled on 21 August 1959. Envisioned as a way to give the Navy a strategic nuclear force, the SeaMaster was eclipsed by the Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile. Due to the political situation at the Pentagon, the Navy promoted the P6M primarily as a high speed minelayer.

The first pre-production YP6M-1 was completed about a year later, with testing resuming in January 1958. Five more were built in 1958 when the Navy announced that Harvey Point Defense Testing Facility in Hertford, North Carolina, would serve as the testing grounds for the fleet of Martin P6M SeaMasters.

This silent footage dates to the time of the Martin P6M Seamaster flight test program, with the third P6M-2 production aircraft featured.  At 5:17 you will see this incredible amphibian take off. After a brief flight it lands at 8:30. It's unclear but it's possible this may have been the aircraft's maiden flight. At 11:00 the aircraft is brought on shore on a dolly. You can see how it would be mated with this device at 13:40.

Supposedly it was inspired by a common gag. With so many tourists visiting the vicinity and asking "where are the rockets", locals would point to the nearby lighthouse which, from a distance, looked a bit like a rocket. During launches supposedly some tourists were told (with the local pointing to the lighthouse) to "keep and eye on that black and white rocket out there." When the real rocket would explode from its launch pad, the bewildered tourists' reactions were appraised by the amused locals.

According to a post on the Internet, "A few clues visual clues in the film narrow the time it was made to about 1960-1961. The clues include the presence of the lighthouse keepers quarters, the routing of Central Control Road, and the presence or absence of certain launch pads 21, 22 and 36. The 'special effects' of launching the lighthouse was accomplished by superimposing a lighthouse graphic over an Atlas ICBM. The unique gooseneck umbilical for the Atlas appears at the pad."

The film starts off with serious narration about the history of the lighthouse. An Air Force sergeant climbs the 167 steps to the top to take in the panoramic view. Moments after he reaches the top, he feels a shaking and the camera pulls back to show the lighthouse superimposed over a rocket as it is lifting off. The next scene shows the sergeant yelling to “put it back down; you shot the wrong one off!” The final scene is of a man sitting at a console pressing buttons and switches as a narrator is heard saying that it was a fine launch and commenting that the man must have had plenty of experience. The man at the console says, “no, that was my first shot; I’m really a lighthouse keeper, but I like to think for myself”!

This rare color film entitled STAR BROTHERS takes a look at the Soviet space program in the 1960s. It's an interesting counterpoint to NASA produced films of the same era. This, the second half of the film begins with footage of tracking radars and microwave communications, and at :38 a ground station with banks of computers and telemetry devices. A video tape recorder is turned on at :39 and a TV set is shown for playback. At :55 the route of the flight is plotted on a moving map. The cosmonauts are seen prior to the flight at 1:40 getting some exercise, shaving, and showering before getting dressed and having a final meal on Earth. At 2:40 the cosmonauts suit up. At 5:00 preparations for launch begin as Nikolayev boards his capsule. At 6:26 the launch is underway and at 6:47 the Vostok 3 streaks into orbit. At 8:26 the Soviets celebrate while at 8:38 TV footage is seen from space. At 12:00, Vostok 4 gets underway as Popovich boards his rocket. At 13;44, the launch proceeds. At 15:40, the world press reaction is shown in London, Berlin and elsewhere on newspaper headlines. At 18:00, Popovich's family is shown waiting on Earth for him as he orbits. At 18:18, his route is mapped on a globe, while on Earth Moscovites listen to live broadcasts from space. At 18;40, pledges are made by farmers to make more grain and miners pledge to make more iron in tribute to Popovich's efforts. At 21:40 at the computer center, mission control, the landing of two spacecraft is plotted. At 22:58, Nikolayev and Popovich are seen back on Earth, boarding a helicopter. The two are seen at 23:50 smiling, excited to be home, while at 24:12 a phone call occurs with Premiere Khrushchev in which he congratulates them on their achievement. At 25:00 the astronauts sleep on their way home from the recovery area. At 26:30, their plane is seen escorted by MiGs and the astronauts are fed by a lovely stewardess who is clearly a "fan". At 27;10 they take control...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/58904417-839c-46d0-a5a2-aab3a3a9a9cc/13676bdc-fc71-4491-85f3-5e5ef32990bd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bWiovB3nXuQFPQHNmnMeeN</video:player_loc><video:duration>2086</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T06:57:07.167Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kaTQeSS61QRd2PWCLAtm82</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ae6588c8-36ac-4e5e-8e32-06bcf52680bc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MAKING A MARINE  U.S. MARINE CORPS 1950s RECRUITING FILM 82124</video:title><video:description>Dating to the Korean War era, this wonderful U.S. Marine Corps film begins with images of combat and an amphibious landing drill, probably at Camp Pendleton in California. At 1:40, the concept of "vertical envelopment" is described with helicopters deployed off of an aircraft carrier. At 1:45, a nuclear weapon goes off and Marines (at the nation's nuclear test site in Nevada as part of Upshot-Knothole ) observe the rising mushroom cloud. The cloud dissolves into the USMC logo at the Corp's recruiting depot in San Diego. The "making of Marines" is then described in Parris Island, South Carolina. Recruits are seen entering the depot and immediately being processed. At 3:30, a drill sergeant introduces them to the Corps, and the recruits walk past an Iwo Jima statue. At 4:16, the men strip and prepare for showers, and have their hair cut off at 4:30 (a la Full Metal Jacket). At 5:00 showers and then the men get new clothes. At 6:50, the men go to sleep, only to be awakened for physical exercise including the obstacle course and calisthenics. Close order drill is shown at 8:30. At 10:30, weapons are inspected by the Drill Sergeant. At 10:47, water training is shown and at 11:25, marksmanship and rifle practice with the M-1 Garand. Classroom instruction is shown at 13 minutes. At 14:30, Marines lift buckets as part of physical drills -- proving that you can use almost any heavy item for muscular benefit. At 15:00, hand to hand and bayonet drills are shown. At 17:44, final inspection is shown of the men who "made it" and are now able to proudly call themselves Marines. At 18:16 the final review march is shown at Parris Island. Semper Fi!

It's an interesting counterpoint to NASA produced films of the same era. The film begins with footage of Yuri Gagarin (:29), the first man in space in 1961. At 1:05, Gherman Stepanovich Titov is shown, the second Soviet cosmonaut. At 1:30, American space hero John Glenn is seen with one of his Soviet counterparts. At 1:45, Pavel Romanovich Popovich and Andriyan Nikolayev of Vostok 4 &amp; 3 respectively.  At 3:17, the cosmonauts are shown enjoying a holiday in the Black Sea, before the movie moves to the more serious background of the men who are described as having terrific "moral integrity" among other qualities. At 6:50, astronaut tests are shown as part of flight simulation.  At 8:30, tests are conducted to disorient the cosmonauts. At 8:50, a rotating gimbal makes the test even more difficult. At 10:08 a Sputnik type satellite is shown, and other Soviet satellites. At 10:23, the interior of the Vostok-3KA type spacecraft is shown. At 11:20, cosmonauts continue simulation in space suits. At 11:55, the suit is tested in a gas chamber. At 13:00, a centrifuge is employed. At 15:55, noise and alarms as well as flashing lights are used to disrupt the cosmonaut's thought process. At 18:13, an airplane is used to simulate weightlessness. At 20:48, simulation of a loss of atmosphere in the capsule is shown with the cosmonaut putting on his glove. At 21:11, Yuri Gagarin is shown advising his friend. At 23:00 a parachute jump is made by one of the cosmonauts. At 24:40 Pavel Popovich is seen showing his daughter the zoo and having a day in the city, and at 26:00 going on a Ferris wheel ride. At 28:10, Moscow is seen and the mausoleum of Lenin, where the cosmonauts pay a solemn visit before their flight.  The film ends with a "Happy Journey" and a kiss goodbye -- continued on Reel 2.

Canberra has the Federal House of Parliament, high-rise apartment buildings, and the copper-domed Academy of Science (3:21-3:52). A marching band and beauty queens on floats please the crowd as part of the annual Festival of Moomba in Melbourne (3:53-4:20). Waves crash on a beach of bikini sunbathers and multiple surfers on surfboards take on the waves (4:30-5:49). The voluntary surf lifesaving clubs march by and compete in rescue scenarios in teams of row boats hit and overtaken by large waves (5:50-7:30). The colorful masts of sailboats glide through the water (7:31-7:56). A very large flock of bleating sheep are shown on a ranch, with a sheep dog providing guidance (6:58-8:40). Albino kangaroos hop by and a koala perches in a tree (8:45-9:00). Aboriginal Australian children and adults are shown, including painting their faces and bodies with white clay and performing a dance (9:01-9:53).

This 1960s commercial shows the new Kodak Instamatic 110 Camera, and the Kodacolor II film cartridge. The pictures from the camera are compared to those from a 126 negative, and look virtually identical. 

The Instamatic was a series of inexpensive, easy-to-load 126 and 110 cameras made by Kodak beginning in 1963. The Instamatic was immensely successful, introducing a generation to low-cost photography and spawning numerous imitators. During its heyday, the range was so ubiquitous that the Instamatic name is still frequently used (erroneously) to refer to any inexpensive point-and-shoot camera. (It is also frequently used incorrectly to describe Kodak's line of instant-picture cameras, the Kodamatic series.) The Instamatic name was also used by Kodak on some Super 8-based home-cine cameras.

The commecial introduces a breakthrough in photography with Kodak’s new compact film technology, emphasizing the small 1/10-size film cartridge used in Kodak Pocket Instamatic cameras. This cartridge produces high-quality black-and-white or color negatives, as well as slide transparencies. A key innovation is the introduction of Kodacolor II, a completely new color negative film that yields larger, rectangular prints from tiny negatives. The film contrasts traditional 126 film with the new format by showing photos taken from the same spot—one with a standard Kodak Instamatic and another with the Pocket Instamatic—highlighting the impressive size and quality of the new 3.5" x 4.5" prints, all from a more compact camera.

The Swedish system was deployed with the Indian Navy in the 1970s. It is a forward throwing rocket launcher which is deployed using sonar. Anti-submarine mortars and rocket launchers are essentially artillery pieces deployed on ships for the purpose of sinking submarines by a direct hit with a small explosive charge. They are often larger versions of the mortar or rocket launchers used by infantry and fire a projectile in relatively the same manner. They were created during World War II as a development of the depth charge and work on the same principle. The film uses animation to show the full operation of the weapons system, and shows the unit's proximity fuse at about 7:50. At 8:35, a four-barreled rocket launcher is seen aboard a ship, capable of traversing 348 degrees. At 10:12, the hoisting system for rockets is shown as it would appear aboard a ship, with rockets moved from the magazine to the launcher with efficiency. At 11:40 the unit is seen fired at sea from a large warship.

The Bofors anti-submarine rocket launcher was used until 1980 with the Swedish Navy. It had two or four barrels and fired a 550-pound projectile up to 3,800 yards (3,500 m). Due to the poor sonar conditions of the Baltic Sea mortars or rocket projectors still retain a place next to torpedoes. The former Soviet Navy (and by extension, the Russian Navy) is the largest user of anti-submarine mortars. Keeping with the Soviet idea that weapons should be simple and cheap, several versions of rocket-propelled anti-submarine mortars were developed. Trials were also conducted on destroying oncoming torpedoes with anti-submarine mortars. The most common is the RBU-6000, which fires twelve 160-pound projectiles in a horseshoe pattern up to 6,500 yards (5,900 m) away. There was also a more extreme version, the nuclear SUW-N-1, though this is more technically an anti-submarine rocket. It had anti-surfa...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d4180c38-7728-4926-b192-cf0310a66abc/1a07110d-6795-4579-9db9-b77b1558b9e7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sc33FV63SyVnTdWo4ko7YU</video:player_loc><video:duration>719</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:05:39.422Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3Qf5vWua87sM5WaMV62PHD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f10c2e17-61f3-4b4b-b551-e4f29fe7c397.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE BIG PICTURE   THE FIGHT FOR VIETNAM  HISTORY OF VIETNAM WAR 60224</video:title><video:description>“The Fight For Vietnam” (no. 574), part of the U.S. Army’s documentary series The Big Picture, reports on the U.S. military’s efforts to help South Vietnam “stamp out the threat of communism” through training and assisting the South Vietnam military and through civic engagement. It was released in the mid to late 1960s. Filmed on location, the story begins with an overview of Vietnam and a brief history of military intervention in the country, beginning with French occupation (02:31). After the fall of French Indochina, Vietnam is divided, and the communist North poses a major threat to the democratic South Vietnam and its president (03:55), prompting the U.S. to send troops to Vietnam from all branches of the military to help advise and assist the government of South Vietnam. Given the guerrilla tactics used by North Vietnam troops, the U.S. trains South Vietnamese soldiers using U.S.-developed skills and tactics (06:10). Communications in the country is a big problem (07:00), so the U.S. trains men and provides new equipment to enhance communications and support around the country, especially in rural villages where U.S. soldiers install two-way radio systems. This allows for faster retaliatory operations against Vietcong surprise attacks. Although the terrain limits the effectiveness of tanks, they do serve a purpose as  they keep roads open and protect convoys (08:40). This enables South Vietnam (09:05) to maintain a well-equipped conventional force (09:05). The film then discusses the three types of terrain in Vietnam: the Mekong River Delta, the high plateau and coastal strips of Central Vietnam, and the jungles of the northern mountains. Each requires unique equipment and tactics to defend against communist attacks. The Mekong Delta (10:30) is patrolled by U.S.-trained and equipped South Vietnamese naval units, as are larger waterways; both waters are also guarded by traditional Vietnamese boats (11:20) in addition to modern naval ships (12:03).

The exercise involved the U.S. 65th Infantry Regiment (Aggressor Forces), mostly Hispanic soldiers, against the 82nd Airborne Div, 504th Airborne Infantry Regiment (Liberating Forces). The successful military maneuvers during Protrex prompted the Army's leadership to deploy the 65th Infantry to Korea. Paratroopers jump from flight of C-119 aircraft. Landing craft discharge troops on the Vieques Island beachhead. Marine holds 'wounded Marine' tag. Vehicles of the 'Liberating Forces' had trouble advancing off the beachhead. Soldier uncovers and removes 'dummy' mine. Shows tank obstacles erected by the Aggressor Forces.

The 65th Infantry Regiment distinguished itself during "Operation PORTREX". The objective was to see how the combined forces of the Army, Marines, Navy, and Air Force would do as "liberators" of an enemy captured territory (Vieques) against the "aggressors." The core of the aggressor ground forces were made up of Puerto Rican soldiers, most of whom belonged to the 65th Infantry Regiment. The liberators consisted of 32,600 combat troops from the 82nd Airborne Division's 504th Airborne Infantry Regiment and the Marine Corps, who received support from the Navy and Air Force. Despite the large number of troops deployed, the 65th Infantry (the aggressor) was able to halt the offensive forces on the beaches of the island. Colonel William W. Harris, the commanding officer of the 65th, stated: "Stopping the assault forces at the water's edge proved that the Puerto Ricans could hold their own against the best-trained soldiers that the United States Army could put into the field." The successful military maneuvers during PORTREX prompted the Army's leadership to deploy the 65th Infantry to Korea.

Starting with freshly cut, raw Canadian pine floating in a tributary of the Ottawa River (1:20), the viewer is taken along the story of pine manufacturing and all its production stages. 

Starting in spring, river men move the logs downstream with the help of tug boats. (1:28) The logs are floated into a boon, an assembly point of wood logs that appear almost like islands in the river. Boons can be as large as 5 acres floating in the water. (1:46)
Logs ultimately sit in a mill pond, a water assembly basin that abuts a mill’s entrance (2:09). The logs are then attached to chains that pulls them out of the water via a conveyor belt. (2:17) 

Only men are seen working in the film. In the river scenes, men can be seen in vintage lumberjack clothing. (2:43) Mill hands, shown at various times working inside the factory, are seen in typical 1930’s working garb while notably in hats from caps to fedoras.

The logs then progress from the water to a conveyer trough. (2:50) The pine logs are moved from the conveyor to the saw by a machine called a kicker. (3:00) Large chainsaws are seen cutting off the pine bark and exposing the wood beneath. Mechanical hands, known at ‘niggers’, (3:08) are shown to rotate the wood to enable the saws to automatically cut away all the bark. An assembly line process, of one log finishing so that another log can be immediately fed into the edger machine, maximizes production. (3:34) This process is depicted as an industrial wonder that produces pine wood of even widths and sizes for commercial use. 

This 1930’s Canadian Pine Industry is claimed to have produced 2 Billion feet of Canadian wood or $30M in commercial lumber, which would amount to 25,000 miles of wood if placed end-to-end.  
Men sorting the wood sets the pine on 1 of 3 main paths in the mill: 1) small pieces that make pickets for fences or household ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8128c8d1-aef2-4966-b908-1c9d7311f986/e063dbed-6a79-4da6-a927-c5628f06a643-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gX3V9fm7EWJ5NcgVnu6L57</video:player_loc><video:duration>914</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:11:13.794Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vHzpT5HCagiJaBtKWyKPYp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/73d04df3-f745-4a4a-8b0c-6d44b2d388f1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY E-2A HAWKEYE STALL TEST AT PAXTUXENT RIVER, MARYLAND  60584</video:title><video:description>Shot in January of 1973, this raw, silent footage shows stall tests of the U.S. Navy's E-2A Hawkeye at Pax River, Maryland. The aircraft shown is likely the prototype, which started flying in 1971. Although by 1973 the aircraft had been considered operational, the type suffered a long teething process and underwent significant upgrades into the 1980s. The film shows the pilot of the Hawkeye intentionally placing the aircraft in a stall attitude and then falling off to recover. The aircraft's ruggedness is especially shown at the 3:30 mark, where it nearly makes a 180-degree inverse roll, and at 3:50 where another stall recovery is shown.  

The Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an American all-weather, carrier-capable tactical airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft. This twin-turboprop aircraft was designed and developed during the late 1950s and early 1960s by the Grumman Aircraft Company for the United States Navy as a replacement for the earlier, piston-engined E-1 Tracer, which was rapidly becoming obsolete. The aircraft's performance has been upgraded with the E-2B, and E-2C versions, where most of the changes were made to the radar and radio communications due to advances in electronic integrated circuits and other electronics. The fourth major version of the Hawkeye is the E-2D, which first flew in 2007. The E-2 was the first aircraft designed specifically for its role, as opposed to a modification of an existing airframe, such as the Boeing E-3 Sentry. Variants of the Hawkeye have been in continuous production since 1960, giving it the longest production run of any carrier-based aircraft.

The E-2 also received the nickname "Super Fudd" because it replaced the E-1 Tracer "Willy Fudd". In recent decades, the E-2 has been commonly referred to as the "Hummer" because of the distinctive sounds of its turboprop engines, quite unlike that of turbojet and turbofan jet engines. In addition to U.S. Navy service, smaller numbers of E-2s have been sold to the armed for...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f0a71b3e-97fd-4496-9aa2-33bdc648c21b/2b9cd5c0-3cc5-4242-a7c1-824acdcd20c3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vHzpT5HCagiJaBtKWyKPYp</video:player_loc><video:duration>411</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:12:18.894Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wHoWbVnvJPDbHFeKHpfSPj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/19dda2ee-c596-4832-93b1-e3ae656a926d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LAYING A 100,000 VOLT ELECTRIC POWER CABLE ACROSS THE ENGLISH CHANNEL  21284</video:title><video:description>This color film Power Across the Channel was produced by the Associated Electrical Industries and British Insulated Callender’s Cables in cooperation with Electricite de France. France had a peak demand of electricity at different times than England did. The solution was to exchange power across the English Channel between the two (1:40). Britain had nuclear and thermal power stations (1:58-2:14). France had thermal and hydroelectric power stations (2:15-2:27). Discussions turned to sub-marine cables to connect the two. England hired the Associated Electrical Industries and British Insulated Callender’s Cables to handle the project (3:13-3:39). The inside of the 100,000 volt cable is shown (3:41). Each company produced a prototype in 1958 (4:09-4:25), where a 16mm film projector shows a movie documenting minimum spacing between the two cables could be met on the seabed (4:26-5:20). Manufacturing commenced. The copper conductor is wrapped with paper tape for insulation (5:23) and a lead sheet is extruded over the insulation to form a seal (5:31). The lead sheet cable has steel anti-twist tape and anti-corrosion applied (5:50), heavy galvanized steel armor wires laid on it (6:04), covered again and whitewashed (6:20). The companies meet in a boardroom and detailed drawings are shown (6:26-7:56). The completed cable is coiled, awaiting loading (8:00-8:23). Each cable is subjected to an acceptance pressure test of 200,000 volts DC (8:25-8:44). The land cables are installed between the Lydd converter station and the Dungeness Nuclear Power Station, as well as an overhead line to Canterbury (8:49-9:42), which meant reinforcing lines crossing the Thames (9:45). The cable machinery is land tested on a statimeter (10:07-10:24). The Dame Caroline Haslett (10:26), taken out of service as a collier ship, has cable loaded onto it (10:26-11:20). The land cable is finished (1:22-11:40). The cable handling machinery is mounted to the ship (11:42-12:45).

The film begins with shots of a radio controlled airplane flying off what appears to be the lakebed of Edwards Air Force Base. The plane is fitted with smoke pods that allow it to be seen from a great distance, assisting the operator in making a landing. At 2:22 the arrangement is shown in a close-up. At 3:15 a lifting body, probably the Hyper III, is shown being outfitted with radio antennas that allow it to be flown by remote control. The Hyper III was a full-scale lifting-body remotely piloted research vehicle (RPRV) built at what was then the NASA Flight Research Center located at Edwards Air Force Base. It flew only once in December 1969. At 3:48 the remote control cockpit is shown, with the pilot sitting on the lakebed at Dryden. It lands on the lakebed at 5:10. At 5:25, another ground cockpit is shown, with a drone twin-engine aircraft, the  PA-30 Twin Comanche, being flown to a landing on the lakebed. The technique was first tested with the cockpit windows of the light aircraft blacked out while the pilot flew the aircraft utilizing a television monitor which gave him a "pilot's eye" view ahead of the aircraft. Later pilots flew the aircraft from a ground cockpit, a procedure used with all RPRV's. TV and two-way telemetry allow the pilot to be in constant control of the aircraft. The apparatus mounted over the cockpit is a special fish eye lens camera, used to obtain images that are transmitted to the ground based cockpit. This project paved the way for sophisticated, highly successful research programs involving high risk spin, stall, and flight control conditions, such as the HiMAT and the subscale F-15 remotely piloted vehicles. At 6:48, a flying test bed -- the subscale F-15 Remotely Piloted Research Vehicle (RPRV) is shown on the wing of a B-52 carrier aircraft. It is later taken to altitude and released.

The film was most likely released in the 1940s due to the presence of streamline “modern” trains. It opens with a steam engine train coming up the tracks (:34-:43). Passengers inside are shown, including some being waited on in a dining car (:44-:56), before returning to a close-up of the train and its steam (:57-1:10). To provide a historical view, an animation and explanation of a Newcomen atmospheric engine for pumping is shown, created by Thomas Newcomen in 1712 (1:12-4:17). James Watt improved its design in 1781 with his Watt steam engine that could be used to turn wheels (4:18-5:38). This steam engine design further evolved in 1829 with George Stephenson’s Rocket, the most famous early railway locomotive (5:39-6:23). The graphic changes to show further advances in train steam engines (6:28-6:50). A streamliner emerges from a tunnel [the shape applied to some high-speed railway trains of the 1930s to 1950s] (6:51-7:00). The cut-away graphic shows and explains in detail how these trains still use the same steam locomotion principles as the Rocket (7:02-10:00). A man hand activates a railroad crossing “look listen” gate to warn cars of an approaching train, which flashes past (10:01-10:18).

The Conair B-58 Hustler, the world’s first supersonic bomber, is capable of Mach 2 flight with four General Electric J79 engines and a delta wing. It had a 20mm multi-barrel cannon in the tail and could carry five conventional or nuclear weapons: four on pylons under the wings and one under the fuselage. It’s first flight was November 11, 1956. It opens with the underside of a B-58 (:22) as its three crewmembers—a pilot, a navigator, and a defensive systems operator—climb into separate cockpits (:038-1:00) before taking off (1:01-1:25). In can be refueled in-air (1:26-1:33). The underside is shown during flight, making the five weapon pods clearly visible (1:35-1:50). Pilots study in an Air Force classroom (1:53). Airmen prepare planes as part of a composite air strike force deployment exercise (1:55-2:13). An overhead view of many planes on the field is shown (2:15). A pilot gets into the cockpit (2:18) and multiple planes taxi and take off (2:20-2:58) and are shown as a formation of 12 planes overhead (2:59). The “Welcome to the home of the 405th Fighter Wing” sign (3:15) is passed by B-58s (3:17). Project Excelsior’s Captain Joseph Kittinger Jr. suits up in a modified David Clark MC-3A partial pressure suit for the August 17, 1960 jump. He tested the Beaupre multi-stage parachute system for pilots to eject from high altitudes by jumping out of a helium balloon, as shown. He held the world’s record for the highest parachute jump, longest parachute drogue fall, and fastest speed by a human through the atmosphere until 2012 (3:30-5:05). To prepare pilots for future space travel, zero gravity weightlessness is tested by Air Force pilots in a modified C-130 at the Aerospace Medical Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e00de32f-520c-4807-8225-29642d043268/9a16980b-a243-4e2e-8a16-07aa4291639b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tEGnAF9qmwA8CLe76698JY</video:player_loc><video:duration>714</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:29:51.375Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4H1ZzrYGieFXqASWVhmim4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d7c4d878-c2e7-4b77-a30e-c2b470bd2356.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA X-15 ROCKET PLANE RETROSPECTIVE  1960-1980  U.S.A.F. ASTRONAUTS  30974</video:title><video:description>This color film provides an overview of the X-15 from 1960 to 1980, predating Astronaut Joe Engle as Commander of the second orbital test flight of the Space Shuttle Columbia on November 12, 1981.  The film opens with a view of the X-15 #3 plane dropping from a B-52 (:33). A photo of 6 of its 12 pilots is shown (:36), with an up-close shot of William Dana (:38), Milton Thompson (:41), William Knight (:43), John McKay (:46), Joe Engle (:48), and Robert Rushworth (:50). These test pilots flew the rocket-powered X-15 research airplane for nine years and 199 flights before the program ended (:53-1:04). An X-15 hangs in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (1:05-1:20). Pilot Joe Engle explains the wing design and structure of titanium, Inconel X, and stainless steel that could withstand temperatures of 1,200 degrees F (1:21-1:36). A pilot boards the X-15, already attached to a B-52 (1:37-1:44). The control tower is shown, as is a ground crew member, before the pair takes off (1:45-2:07). The high heat required an extra surface protectant to be applied (2:08-2:21). A view of the XLR-99 engine is shown in flight, which was fueled by anhydrous ammonia and liquid oxygen, as well as pressurized helium and hydrogen peroxide carried in the fuselage (2:22-2:56). The X-15 is released and travels at a speed of 4,000 mph (2:57-3:30), proving man could fly at hypersonic speeds. This paved the way for the space shuttle with many controls such as landing similar to the X-15 (3:36-4:22).  A spinning view of the “worm” NASA logo, introduced in 1975, is shown (4:23).

The North American X-15 was a hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft operated by the United States Air Force and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration as part of the X-plane series of experimental aircraft. The X-15 set speed and altitude records in the 1960s, flying from Edwards AFB, reaching the edge of outer space and returning with valuable data used in aircraft and spacecraft design. The X-15's offi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1e0585b7-06a2-459c-814b-5691a2ff4eaf/dd333e74-df1e-40a9-aa16-79f923b21146-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4H1ZzrYGieFXqASWVhmim4</video:player_loc><video:duration>288</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:30:05.600Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wQD2ttDoVqqmDPengBdwLS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c87dc79d-bbf0-4e3f-9f9e-fc86b2aff9b4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NAVY AVIATION GUNNERY MATE &amp; PILOT WEAPONS TRAINING  WWII MACHINE GUN FILM   33754</video:title><video:description>Handing It Back is 1942 U.S. Navy training film, produced by Jam Handy Organization, which provides an overview of what pilots do in the Pacific theatre and why pilots and gunners are needed. The film’s battle scenes are from actual combat in the “Pacific Area.” The film begins with naval ships firing artillery (00:32) before cutting to pilots on deck just before U.S. planes engage in a bombing run (01:20). The film’s narrator says that the U.S. needs more men and guns, and the film highlights the use of both in the Pacific arena. Planes engage in aerial maneuvers (01:35), gunnery mates load guns and ammo onto what appears to be a PBY Catalina (02:04), then climb into the plane. In the classroom, pilots study machine guns (02:27), and then they head out to the field to train with shotguns—for anticipating shots—and machine guns. The men also learn how to shoot a machinegun from an aircraft environment by shooting from a grounded plane (04:54). The practice strafing (05:25) and bunched patterns. They continue their training with sleeve practice, where they must account for movement of both the gunner and target (05:58). Practice with a camera gun (07:39) allows them to review film and see their hits and misses. After training, men prep their weapons by loading ordinance onto a plane (08:19) and by prepping a machine gun (08:37). These pilots and gunners are all part of the U.S. Naval force in the Pacific (10:04). The film concludes with shots of a gunner shooting down an enemy plane (11:41) as the narrator reminds viewers that “your Navy is out there handing it back.”

It details an early education safety consciousness driving program aimed at kindergarten through third-grader students at Garfield Elementary School in Phoenix, Arizona. James (Jimmy) Stewart is the storyteller. Actors Charles Bernstein, Haskel Welch, and Thelma Bennett play roles.  A group of six-year-old children shown standing in a classroom (:16) are now driving child-size peddle-push Chevys on a closed course of miniature roads, complete with road signs, as an experiment in driver’s education (:47-1:27). A traffic jam at an intersection is interrupted by the teacher (1:28-1:39), which is now duplicated by real Chevy cars on a real road (1:41-1:58). A mother drives a 1954 Chevy BelAir while taking her young daughter to Garfield Elementary runs a stop sign (2:00-2:19). Children play in the schoolyard (2:20) before sitting in an auditorium (2:43) to watch the program. First is a magic safety show performed by a police officer (2:52-3:19). Next, a game of musical chairs has been modified as they study traffic light signals (3:20-3:38). Outside the classroom, a group of first-graders and their teacher cross the street at the crosswalk (3:39-3:55). Classic scenes of a teacher seated up front with a small group of students while the rest are seated at their desks is shown (3:56-4:17). The children practice good driving skills with toy vehicles (4:18-4:55). Outside, Chevy has created this miniature driving course at the school, with cars that have real tires, headlights, and horns (4:57-5:10). A car mounted on blocks is called “The Phoenix Link Trainer” in which the student displays a knowledge of hand signals and how the car works (5:11-6:07). The Advanced Course is complete with traffic signals, crosswalks with pedestrians, and policemen, as the first-, second-, an...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f4ecebdf-10b2-43ba-87bc-e7ee7b3d9231/6f820094-7273-4b32-9840-ecac878ce671-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wfbivH4PRBAq7oa6gyp3Ca</video:player_loc><video:duration>674</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:33:41.651Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wGd36YbpmeA7Yd9BT8j4gg</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e2bf6ddd-31e1-4904-9b72-786c218e3d4a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY PREPARATORY SCHOOL  1962 PROMOTIONAL MOVIE  60564</video:title><video:description>This film made in 1962 shows the Naval Academy Preparatory School or NAPS. NAPS is the preparatory school for the United States Naval Academy and is located on Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island. The mission of the Naval Academy Preparatory School is "To enhance Midshipman Candidates' moral, mental, and physical foundations to prepare them for success at the United States Naval Academy". The film shows a more or less typical overview of NAPS, from morning assembly through daytime classes in scientific principles and math, homework (5:50), and so on. At 6:20 more pleasant activities are shown including a football game, at 6:50 printing invitations to the school's Spring Dance, volleyball, baseball, tennis, track and field activities including shotput, lacrosse (7:40), golf (7:45), swimming, etc. At 8:20 students visit Washington, D.C. including the Lincoln Memorial. At 8:53 Pennsylvania Ave. is seen at night. The film ends with final exams and graduation.

The Naval Academy Preparatory School is the Navy’s fourth oldest school; only the Naval War College, the Naval Postgraduate School, and the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland are older. Informal preparatory classes began as early as 1915.

In 1918, the Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels signed a provision to have up to 100 sailors from the fleet to be eligible for entry to the Academy. Due to the difficult nature of the Naval Academy's entrance examination, then Undersecretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt (future 32nd President) also allowed for a school to be founded to prepare Sailors and Marines for entry.

The first official classes were established at Naval Station, Newport in Rhode Island and Naval Station Treasure Island / San Francisco in California in 1920. A year later the schools were moved to Norfolk, Virginia and San Diego, California. San Diego classes were later disestablished and NAPS classes remained solely in Norfolk until 1942, when the new Naval Academy Preparatory School ope...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f88f5405-592c-4e6a-85c8-1a6b2b812ec1/03850b9a-41ed-414e-8b81-0acd975ae35b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wGd36YbpmeA7Yd9BT8j4gg</video:player_loc><video:duration>657</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:35:16.981Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tTNFcbf22Mt4QMEsrTGHGu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/04041c56-28b0-41f6-9369-ef3c5e49041d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA 1966 APOLLO 1 MISSION, HL-10 LIFTING BODY, ATS SATELLITE LAUNCH 87174b</video:title><video:description>This color film produced by NASA, an Aeronautics and Space Report has five segments. The first is 3 Man Apollo (:29). The Apollo mission is to get man to the moon and back safely. The early Mercury and Gemini missions have advanced to the first 3-man crew (:32-:47). Shown are the Apollo 1 astronauts: command pilot Virgil Grissom, senior pilot Edward White, and Roger Chaffee board, ready to do final testing (:48-1:45). [A cabin fire during this launch rehearsal test on January 27, 1967 will kill all three.] The second segment is Zero “G” (1:45). Weightlessness is tested in various ways (1:46-2:08). The Zero-G facility is located at the NASA Lewis Research Center in Cleveland (2:09-2:29). A vacuum chamber extending 510 feet below ground allows objects to be hurled up and fall back down, creating 10 seconds of weightlessness (2:30-2:54). Cameras record testing various liquids at 0-G (2:57-3:06). Segment three is Biosatellite (3:14). Biosatellites test how 0-G weightlessness affects biology, including cell division, plant growth, and radiation exposure. (3:15-3:37). NASA wanted these small biosatellite capsules to study such things as sleep, blood circulation, and brain activity. It included cells, eggs, plants, and a primate named Bonnie (3:39-4:20). [While three biosatellites were launched between 1966 and 1969, the limited results resulted in the other planned missions to be cancelled.] Segment four is Switchboard in the Sky (5:02). The first Applications Technology Satellite (ATS) was launched December 7, 1966. Its three-year purpose was to test experimental systems for improving weather forecasts and radio and television communications (5:04-5:18). The spacecraft was launched by an Atlas-Agena rocket (5:20-5:32). It took an entire day’s changing cloud patterns; giving weathermen the first continuous view of developing storms (5:31-5:45).

The first is about Apollo 9 just before its launch on March 3, 1969 (:32). A ticker tape parade is held in New York for the astronauts of Apollo 8, William Anders, Jim Lovell, and Frank Borman (:40-:52). These men were in the first manned spacecraft to leave Earth’s orbit, circle the moon, and return safely. The Apollo 9 astronauts are Rusty Schweickart, James McDivitt, and David Scott (:052-1:14). The command pilot, McDivitt, practices flying a lunar landing research vehicle (1: 15-1:28) and speaks to the camera about the upcoming mission (1:29-1:54). An artist’s concept shows some of the mission highlights of how the Command Module and Lunar Module will separate (2:00-2:27). Scott, the Command Module pilot, is shown (2:31-2:50). A Lunar Module simulator provides practice (2:51-3:19). Schweickart is the Lunar Module pilot, who will also walk outside the spacecraft and do space photography (3:20-3:46). The Saturn 5 rocket stands ready for lift-off (3:48-4:12). The three astronauts are shown (4:14-4:24). The second segment is about Mariner Mars 69 (5:07). The spacecraft is the Mariner, the destination is Mars, and the year is 1969. Both Mariner 6 (69A) and Mariner 7 (69B) will be launched February 25, 1969 to take photos of Mars (5:08-5:38). Earlier photos are from the 1964-65 Mariner missions. Pictures will be transmitted to earth and received by giant dishes (5:48-5:56). In addition to television cameras, special sensors on Mariner will penetrate the Martian atmosphere and send back data, shown in an animation (5:57-6:10). Dr. William Pickering, Director of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, speaks about the mission (6:12-6:40). The third segment is about Vertical Take-Off Planes (6:55), known as VTOL. How a XV-5B works is explained, and the fans opening and closing in flight are shown (6:57-7:50). The much larger XC-142 was developed from 1956 wind tunnel te...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2872513c-c805-4577-a02e-02027fad3cd5/90b89895-3034-4876-9057-c7e5d1002cb1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5ZFxmPe2hKFmNpgcdCzg7V</video:player_loc><video:duration>560</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:37:17.277Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Jim McDivitt</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/85FSoTzzyjH55hzYPqC2MG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7bf44210-0de7-4f77-86da-24c0350b9e71.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MILITARY FILM BLOOPERS   U.S. ARMY FIRST MOTION PICTURE UNIT  58324</video:title><video:description>Dating to WWII, this hilarious reel of bloopers shows outtakes from various movies prepared by the U.S. Army's First Motion Picture Unit. The Unit made many training, incentive and propaganda films and documentaries for the war efforts during WWII, many of them featuring Hollywood actors. The failures in the film range from actors who can't remember their lines, malfunctioning cigarette lighters and doors, and more. At 3:56, future U.S. President Ronald Reagan is shown discussing malaria when a map fails. At 4:22, a rear screen projection (a common special effect in this analog era) is ruined by visitors to the set. And more!  This reel was obviously lovingly prepared, complete with sound effects, by the staff of the First. Enjoy!

The first is about Apollo 12 just before its launch on November 14, 1969. It opens with a moon rock gathered by the Apollo 11 crew (:36-1:05). The crew of Apollo 12, astronauts Pete Conrad, Alan Bean, and Dick Gordon, are shown walking in their spacesuits (1:06). Conrad will be the command pilot for the ten-day round trip, shown practicing weightless walking (1:16-1:28). Gordon, command module pilot, accompanied Pete on Gemini 11 and is shown floating in space making repairs during that mission (1:29-1:48). This will be the first adventure to space for Bean (1:50-2:00). An animation shows they will fly to the moon, Gordon will orbit above while Conrad and Bean descend to the surface to an area called the Ocean of Storms, approximately 600 miles from the site of Apollo 11 (2:01-2:16). Once there, they will explore, photograph, sample, and set up scientific experiments (2:17-2:23). G. D. Griffin is the Apollo 12 Flight Director and describes the mission (2:27-3:05). This includes walking 1,100 feet from the landing craft to Surveyor 3, an unmanned craft that landed on the moon April 20, 1967, and taking samples from it. A model of it has been studied extensively by the two astronauts (3:10-3:35). The Saturn 5 rocket will use Launch Pad 39a at the Kennedy Space Center (3:40-3:50). The Command Module will hold the men (3:51-4:01) while the Lunar Module serves for landing and taking off (4:02-4:09). The instrument panel inside the Command Module is shown (4:10). The three astronauts pose for pictures (4:16), ready to make the second moon landing for the U.S. The second segment (4:42) is on Wingless Spacecraft. It opens with an artist’s rendition of a wingless craft that could be used for reusable space shuttles (5:07-5:26). NASA’s Flight Research Center in California experiments with this thought, using a B-52 and a HL-10 wingless aircraft / lifting body to simulate the space shuttle ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c7020695-2f4c-4127-a460-d39cc150493f/75c05558-43cf-4ab1-ada8-8b45fc86edf2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qzj6GCuHkYPvVf1EH14uPi</video:player_loc><video:duration>563</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:38:58.543Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Apollo 12</video:tag><video:tag>Apollo Program</video:tag><video:tag>HL-10</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7vaMCfLZddyF63dWHCM6S2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/805613f1-44f7-4ec5-9d54-18d2e72dda76.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1958 NAVAJO INDIANS DOCUMENTARY  "BETWEEN TWO WORLDS"  NATIVE AMERICANS  85284</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This 1958 color film shows the Navajo Nation of the 1960s, with a postscript from the 1970s (:13). It’s “A Line on America” film presentation of “A People Between Two Worlds” (:50), produced by Francis and Helen Line. This largest Indian tribe lives on a reservation mostly in Arizona into New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado (1:18). Sheep provides resources and an income (1:50-2:08). Most of the 15 million acres are too barren, mountainous, or heavily forested (2:10-2:34). Only 4 acres in 1,000 have enough moisture for crops (2:41). Life revolves around the hogan home and ancient customs (2:48-3:42). Trading posts provide a place to barter (3:43-4:00), including pawning turquoise jewelry, worn regardless of the task (4:01-4:22). A baby is shown on a cradleboard (4:25-4:34). In spring, wind creates sandstorms (5:14-5:30). In summer, flash flooding destroys roads and bridges (5:32-5:49). The roads are hard on buckboard wheels (6:11). A woman weaves a colorful patterned rug (6:36-7:04). New resources include oil pumps, natural gas wells, and uranium mines. Processing plants built at the edge of the reservation provide jobs and royalty payments (7:05-8:15). Students attend school (8:20-8:30). Report cards are often signed by a parent’s thumbprint (8:30-8:40). In response, the US government built elementary (up to 6th grade) boarding schools where children live for 9 months, such as at Shiprock (8:43-9:40). The government also built experimental trailer schools on the reservation with non-Navajo teachers (9:50-11:20). A bathroom trailer provides new experiences of running water, flush toilets, and toothbrushes (11:31-11:50). Before class, a breakfast of cold cow’s milk and biscuits is served (11:53-12:22); a happy lamb is bottle-fed (12:26-12:37); and the Pledge of Allegiance is given (12:40-12:52). The school teaches about the US government; health; prayer before a lunch that uses knives and forks; and gives out ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/34a96eb9-ad87-4f61-9b1e-fe3743296271/40f69a2e-26e4-4a7e-9032-55d65ddb7b45-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7vaMCfLZddyF63dWHCM6S2</video:player_loc><video:duration>1346</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:40:20.516Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1BaiQwUkdmKdZQUGt9Bixp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2f2ce04c-66b4-44ac-953a-f994ca5e9cb5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MICKEY THOMPSON   CHALLENGER 1  LAND SPEED RECORD ATTEMPT @ BONNEVILLE  60534</video:title><video:description>This April, 1962 black and white television program “Adventure Tomorrow” was hosted by actor Peter Hansen (:28), interviewer Dr. Martin Klein, Director of Research, Communications Control Corporation (:49), and was produced by George Van Valkenburg. This broadcast is titled “The Fastest Man of Wheels.” It features Mickey Thompson, who on September 9, 1960 became the first American to break the 400 mph barrier at 406.6 mph. He did so in his 1959 Pontiac Challenger 1 at Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats. The footage shows bringing the car to the Salt Flats, inspecting it, Thompson entering the car, the push car, and a test run of the 11-mile drive, including some filmed from the car itself through the 2” windshield as he follows the black line painted on the salt (:33-6:09). Back in the studio, Dr. Klein interviews Mickey (6:17-8:56). We return to footage following the test drive. The salt is rough and so the crew works over three weeks on the race path to smooth it out, using water (8:56-10:20). Back at the shop, yarn is attached to the vehicle to study the air flow and a spoiler is added (10:21-10:33). The footage moves to September 9. Members of The United States Auto Club calibrate their electronic measuring instruments in the official timing stand (10:34-11:00) as everything on the car is tested (11:01-11:13). The braking parachutes are checked (11:14-11:25). The rims and specially-built Goodyear tires are mounted (11:26-11:53). Back at the studio, Dr. Klein and Mickey talk about this hand-built car, using an exact kit model (11:58-14:42). They look at samples of the special Goodyear tires. The results of proving they can go 400 mph has allowed this technology to be applied to jet tires and to improve automobile tires (14:43-15:55). The footage returns to September 9 as Thompson decides the timing is perfect to try for the record. He wears a special rubber fire-resistant suit and a small breathing mask as he is locked into the car (15:56-18:05). The epic run is now...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/04e8c496-5f5e-471d-b6cb-14f1e80a0859/c530d5a1-2ef8-4a47-8829-1d3391c5ee8b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1BaiQwUkdmKdZQUGt9Bixp</video:player_loc><video:duration>1351</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:42:35.707Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4jaDPxfy9WHh25Z4RVPCb7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a4615ad6-ebfd-42f9-a3be-1bda7e6db2db.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA HIGHLIGHTS 1970  TIROS &amp; NIMBUS SATELLITES   APOLLO PROGRAM 54044</video:title><video:description>This color film “Highlights 1970” was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It opens with NASA photos of the March 7, 1970 total solar eclipse (:35-:52). Two types of weather satellites were already transmitting data 1970: the TIROS Operational Satellite and the Nimbus (:53-1:15). In aeronautics, NASA continued researching wake turbulence using a C-47 and smoke from the tower, with footage shown of these otherwise invisible air patterns (1:16-1:30). An Earth Resources Aircraft took high-altitude photos of Peru’s May 31, 1970 devastating earthquake (1:31-1:43). It also took temperature and color measurements over Oregon’s tuna fishing areas to assist local fishermen (1:44-1:54). The Apollo 13 lunar landing mission was aborted due to difficulties but astronauts James Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise safely returned to earth on April 17, 1970 (1:55-2:10). On September 30, 1970, the last of the Saturn 5 moon rockets were test-fired (2:11-2:22). Four college students spent 90 days in a Space Station Simulator with no ill effects (2:23-2:42). In October, Soviet cosmonauts visit the U.S., and the U.S. and Soviet Union agreed to study ways to collaborate in space (2:43-3:00). Reporter Sally Ann Haynes (Carter) provides a special report on the history of the moon. Actual photos of the moon are interspersed with dialog (2:44-6:19). A close-up of the moon’s surface reveals heavily cratered lunar Highlands and the dark smooth plains known as Maria (6:20-7:18). Further close-ups of the Highlands show craters, mountain ranges, domes, red glows, and ocean waves (7:19-8:03). Close-ups of the Maria show flat basins, wrinkle ridges, phantom craters, valleys, faults, and mass concentrations (8:04-8:59). Images of the Surveyor spacecraft collect surface samples (9:00-9:10). Footage is shown of the July 20, 1969 landing of the Apollo 11 Eagle lunar module (9:35-10:20). Footage taken by the astronauts is shown (10:21-11:28).

It opens with footage of the moon. There is a sophisticated scientific laboratory in space in the form of satellites that carry experiments from scientists of many nations (:05-:35). Historic inventors include Benjamin Franklin (:37-1:12), Michael Faraday (1:10), Wilhelm Roentgen (1:17), and Thomas Edison (1:25). The night launch of a rocket is shown (1:55-2:55). Various instruments in a launch control room are shown (3:09-3:37). Space science began with balloons carrying photographic film to detect cosmic rays in the troposphere and stratosphere (3:48-3:59). Beginning in 1945, sounding rockets began mapping the ionosphere, as recorded by giant dishes (4:00-4:25). This technology first discovered x-rays from the sun. In 1958, the James Van Allen team sent experiments on the satellite Explorer One and discovered the earth’s radiation belt and additional mapping has taken place (4:44-5:18). High altitude satellites concentrate on the magnetosphere (5:20-5:46). Sun flares affect all layers of our atmosphere (5:46-5:56). Various scientific instruments are shown in rapid succession (6:50-7:20). International cooperation programs include the US-UK, US-Canada, and multiple countries (7:34-7:40). Various nebulas and stars are shown (7:41-7:55). Various scientific instruments are shown in rapid succession (7:56-8:13). Next to be explored in the 1970s is the transition region of the upper atmosphere from 75-95 miles up. These spacecraft will carry small rocket engines to propel them (8:32-9:00) and instruments to measure the sun’s ultraviolet light (9:02). Molecules of boiling water are shown under a microscope (9:13-9:20) to simulate how the sun affects our atmosphere. A Small Scientific Satellite, SSS-A, will be launched by a Scout Vehicle Rocket from the Italian San Marco range (9:33-10:12). Already launched in the 1960s are OBOs, orbiting geophysical observatories (10:13-10:55). ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4c29cd2d-5099-427d-b55e-feae6ac85559/d8b8638e-c160-49c6-bda7-ce89efd9d86f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/apuiZK69B7fUShp17KcB4p</video:player_loc><video:duration>1524</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:50:06.587Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>NASA</video:tag><video:tag>Project Apollo</video:tag><video:tag>space science</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1VvWC2DQafR3MaNeYpFUod</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2572282b-9edc-4209-af35-bc2cc44cf197.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM AIRLINES  WINGS TO GERMANY  1950s TRAVELOGUE MOVIE 55354</video:title><video:description>Dating to the 1950s, Pan American World Airways’ travel film Wings To Germany highlights the urban and rural attractions of the country. The film begins with Pan Am’s Clipper flight 100 on route to Frankfurt, Germany. Frankfurt is a bustling city, featuring Eschenheimer Turm (01:49) and other old buildings with busy streets and cafés. West Berlin (02:33) is similarly a bustling urban center with a number of sidewalk cafés. The Airlift Memorial in the city’s center is a popular landmark. From here, the film takes viewers to “old” Germany, starting with the Bavarian village of Rothenburg (03:04). Rothenburg is home to medieval buildings, and ox-drawn carts are still a part of life here. Life here follows old customs: a local chimney sweep (03:40) is off to work. Tourists can marvel at statue of St. George in the town square (04:24). The next stop is Freiburg, with an aerial shot (04:32) of the “capital of the Black Forest.” It is a lively market town, where people buy produce and kids can buy handcrafted toys. Other crafts are abundant, including clocks. Many people still wear traditional clothing (05:45). A trip along the Autobahn (06:23) takes viewers to Bayreuth (06:32), the city of Richard Wagner. A festival here is dedicated to the famous composer, who built his own opera house in the city. Traveling down the River Rhine (07:10) gives visitors a chance to see incredible countryside dotted with castles and churches. Barges take care when passing Lorelei Point (07:40). Vineyards (08:52) also call the banks of the Rhine home, where people can take chairlifts (09:18) over the vineyards for a better view. Wine connoisseurs in the region taste the vintages, and the Wine Festival (10:00) signals an end to months of work in the vineyard. Festivities include a marching band and traditional dancing (10:32). The film cuts back to the Pan-Am flight, which is nearing Germany, before returning to “tour” the country. The next stop is Heidelberg (11:05), featuring Heidelberg ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0778df3f-b1e5-4cad-b182-9abb3b2eb320/37daf041-6a5e-46e1-8ee0-9708029fa365-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1VvWC2DQafR3MaNeYpFUod</video:player_loc><video:duration>1664</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:53:57.767Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7riVNDDbWnLiGbuXTZKMvk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e4a4c875-2136-4b8d-b51f-d8217bb0f2d6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA GEMINI &amp; APOLLO PROGRAM  ASTRONAUT FLIGHT CREW SUPPORT DIVISION FILM  86144</video:title><video:description>This color educational film produced by NASA about the Flight Crew Support Division is Report #2, dated December 31, 1964. Flight crew support will be needed for the upcoming Gemini and Apollo operations. Astronauts Edward White (who would die in the Apollo 1 fire) and James McDivitt are shown, who are training for the GT4 flight crew (:35-:47). This division has several experimental and training equipment pieces in Houston, including Gemini mission simulator #2, which is entered by the two astronauts (:49-1:41). The last 100 feet and the docking maneuvers are practiced by the astronauts in the six degrees of freedom Gemini translation and docking simulator (1:48-2:45). The control room monitors the simulation, programmed on an analog computer, and a closed-circuit television provides a exterior view (2:45-3:00). The instructor has a duplicate instrument panel, allowing him to introduce system failures, which the astronauts must address (3:01- 3:27). The astronaut must complete the docking and undocking tasks (3:27-3:55). Another docking simulator is cable suspended and known as a moving base docking simulator. It is at Langley Research Center (3:58-5:02). The crews learn flight planning, and shown is the special flight plan readout that is photographed on rolls of 90-millimeter film (5:04-4:48). Flight controllers, shown in the Mission Control Center, have copies of this flight plan. The GT3 flight plan is the blueprint for the first manned Gemini mission of astronauts Virgil Grissom (who would die in the Apollo 1 fire) and John Young (5:50-6:11). An astronaut lays on his back and uses his muscles in a simulated weightless environment on a Beta Trainer (6:12-6:34). The Beta Trainer components are described in detail (6:35-7:44), providing the atmosphere an astronaut needs to practice using a handheld extra vehicular propulsion unit (7:45-9:00). To practice for Apollo lunar landing missions, a Lunar Landing Research Vehicle simulator is under development, which i...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/341f797a-587b-44e1-9f91-7ac54fe79de1/c78b076e-aa23-4c5c-bcb3-c22af1a0ecdf-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7riVNDDbWnLiGbuXTZKMvk</video:player_loc><video:duration>860</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:54:17.043Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1qs5CqdeGcacRiqsK5d2wp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a022a22d-9303-4f77-b7d2-1fbb0a08b450.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA  APOLLO PROJECT  FIRE SAFETY &amp; FLAME RESISTANT MATERIALS EDUCATIONAL FILM   55554</video:title><video:description>This color educational film produced by A-V Corporation for NASA addresses fire in the 1969 Apollo missions. It opens with shots of bubbling magma (:17), an Apollo rocket launch (:49), and firemen battling a huge blaze (1:00). Fire must have three basic components: a combustible fuel or material, an agent to react chemically with the fuel to produce combustion, and an ignition source, using a candle as an example (1:28-2:05). Within a manned space flight, there are other flammable factors, such as the enriched oxygen. Shown is what may be the May 18, 1969 crew to Apollo 10 inside the space capsule during the mission, as it looks like John Young, Thomas Stafford, and Eugene Cernan (2:16-2:27). Next shown is a man performing tasks on the moon, which Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin accomplished in Apollo 11, July 20, 1969 and Charles Conrad and Alan Bean repeated in Apollo 12, November 14, 1969 (2:30-2:43). To create flame resistant materials able to safely withstand space, a standardized set of practical flammability tests were established (2:44-3:31) as were tests for durability (3:34-3:58). The result was beta cloth, a type of fireproof silica fiber cloth used in space suits after the deadly 1967 Apollo 1 launch pad fire. Shown are Apollo astronauts moving within the space capsule (4:00-4:19). Another fiber created for spacecraft webbing and cords is PVI, due to its almost complete non-flammability in pure oxygen (4:23-4:34). Teflon is also used in the astronaut white coveralls; shown is one for astronaut Thomas Mattingly (4:39-4:46). The flight bags and kits are made of Teflon-coated beta cloth combined with asbestos fabric and aluminum foil (4:49-5:07). An Apollo astronaut puts on his space suit of fabric woven of metallic fabrics (5:08-5:22). Other non-flammable fabrics are under consideration (5:30-5:59). A type of slow-to-burn paper, developed by a German firm, was used during Apollo 12 (6:00-6:15). Insulating compounds used to encapsulate spacecraft electric...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0369ec37-882a-4d68-8fce-d59beceed187/fd19ee58-09e8-4260-8a51-aace1b90d9b6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1qs5CqdeGcacRiqsK5d2wp</video:player_loc><video:duration>775</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T07:55:50.689Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2DJpZ5zJq1j2d9rF25Dd4t</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9eaafacb-60ef-4c39-9f8e-ed88aebee038.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NAVAJO RESERVATION DOCUMENTARY  NEW MEXICO / ARIZONA  SANTA FE RR 46024</video:title><video:description>This color film “El Navajo” is an educational documentary presented by Santa Fe Railway. It is a Telefilm Recording (a format popular in 1935-1940, and represented a motion picture created to be shown on television). The Navajo Reservation spans New Mexico and Arizona during this film’s time period. Women in Navajo dress wave at an oncoming Santa Fe train (38), whose Chicago to San Francisco route passes it (1:03). Views outside the train window see the red desert cliffs (1:27-1:44). On the Navajo Reservation, a plaque for Window Rock states it’s the headquarters for the Office of Indian Affairs. This further dates the movie between 1933-1946 as Harold Ickes is listed as Secretary of Interior (1:50-1:58). Nearby are the St. Michael Mission built in 1902 (2:11), the Indian Day School (2:19), the Ganado Mission, which housed a nursing school (2:28), and Hubbell’s Trading Post built in 1873 (2:38). Sheep provide resources and income (2:48-4:02). Shearing is shown, including branding with black paint (4:03-5:54). Soap made from the amole plant is used to wash the wool (5:57-7:25). Navajo women card, spin, and dye the wool (7:28-8:40). Hand weaving is done on looms to create beautiful rugs (8:41-10:14). A cow is slaughtered and prepared to eat (10:30-11:15). The hides are stretched; a sheep is skinned (11:18-11:59). The post office also serves as a trading post where bartering occurs (12:03-14:34). The process to make moccasins is shown (14:38-16:38). Corn planting hole by hole using a hoe is shown (16:42-17:38). Colorful harvested corn is ground into flour for tortillas fried in mutton fat; the initial woman wears a beautiful turquoise necklace (17:43-19:10). Flour is also kneaded into bread, with the turquoise jewelry still on their hands, and baked in an adobe oven (19:13-21:57).

It shows Irwin, his mother and father, and presumably his brother and a neighbor.

0:09 Houses on Chauncey Court Road, 0:25 a man, possibly a neighbor, speaking about James Irwin in an interview, 1:20 Irwin getting out of a fighter aircraft, 1:35 Irwin being interviewed, 2:45 Presumably Irwin’s brother speaking to the camera, 2:58 Irwin’s mother being interviewed, 3:19 Irwin’s father being interviewed

James Benson Irwin (March 17, 1930 – August 8, 1991) was an American astronaut, aeronautical engineer, test pilot, and a United States Air Force pilot. He served as Lunar Module pilot for Apollo 15, the fourth human lunar landing. He was the 8th person to walk on the Moon and the first, and youngest, of those astronauts to die.

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.

The film likely dates to WWII era, as you will see a lot of patriotic bunting and flags in various city scenes. Starting at about :40 are shots in the downtown on Main Street with trolley cars visible. There's also a spectacular sequence shot in fast motion / time exposure of the same stretch of downtown scenery starting about 1:18. At :57 some grain silos are shown, and at 2:00 is a corner in what appears to be Fort Worth (with the Tarrant County Courthouse in the far distance). At 2:17 the scene switches to the Big Bend National Park where Spring scenery is shown including blooming flowers -- they look great here in Kodachrome. At 4:00 desert plants are shown including a Yucca, and burros are seen at 4:37. At 4:40 a desert ranch is shown, and at 5:49 mountains are seen in the distance. The film ends with images of scenery covered in snow.

The film shows some of the 20,000+ Americans who visited France in that year, the 9th anniversary of the end of WWI.Calling themselves the “Second American Expeditionary Force,”  they attended the American Legion’s 9th National Convention in the City of Lights.

Gen. John J. Pershing accompanied National Commander Howard P. Savage on the voyage on board the steamship Leviathan. In Paris, both men – along with many other distinguished Legion guests – attended a dinner party hosted by French president Gaston Doumergue.

Scenes include visits to battlefields, the  and the American cemetery, with the pastoral image of a sheep herder as the final image.

This advanced Italian Line ocean liner was built in 1960. The film was produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica as an educational film. Shots of the New York shoreline are seen as the ship leaves the harbor (3:39-4:20). A sculpture of da Vinci is at the entrance to the dining hall (4:58), where lunch is served (5:32-6:08). The lifeboats could hold all 2,000 passengers, who drilled for an emergency (6:28-6:50). The narrator is invited to the ship’s bridge (7:49) and into the automatic steering equipment room (8:08), where the Helmsman watches the compasses (8:20). The course is given by the Captain, who uses a sextant to chart the course (8:31-8:56). The engine order telegraph conveys the power needed (8:57-9:12). The radar screen and its antenna look for other ships or objects (9:18-9:41). In case of emergency, the Captain can manually seal doors (9:43-9:51), view a board with indicators that would show where a fire is located (9:52-10:04), and view stabilizer dials (10:05-10:21). The Leonardo has elevators (11:14-11:25). It also has an onboard hospital (11:32-12:08) and a gym (12:13-12:34). The 700-member crew has its own mess hall (12:35). At the bottom of the ship is the engine room with its master control panel (13:35-13:55). The turbine room uses steam to turn the propellers (14:00-14:09).

This is one of her “Way of Life Films” productions, which was formed in 1940. She moved to Mexico in 1945 and so this film dates shortly after that. Out of the bird’s eye view of the vast jungle rises the ancient city of Chichen Itza in Yucatan, Mexico (:26-:44), a city that once housed 200,000 people and was more than 12 miles in length. The stone buildings remain, such as the observatory that produced the Mayan calendar (:56-1:45), it’s carved entry shown (2:16). The “nunnery” once housed the maidens dedicated to serving the Mayan gods (2:35-2:55). The Kukulkan “Feathered Serpent” Pyramid was dedicated to a god by that name (2:59). The Temple of the Warriors has had some restoration work done by the Carnegie Institution (3:10-3:27). The Standard Bearer statue (3:29) overlooks the altar (3:40), where additional stone carvings remain (3:44; 4:09). Much of this area remains unexcavated. Stylized snouts on buildings represent the rain god Chaahk (4:22). The Pok-A-Tok ball court (4:39) was for a deadly sport for the losing team that required passing a solid rubber ball through a two-foot stone hoop, using only the thighs or hips. A view of the Observatory in the distance is shown (5:03). In the jungle around the ruins, the skies are full of locusts, who still attack the corn fields of modern day farmers (5:09-6:06). We next travel to the Mayan ruins at Uxmal (6:09-6:26), who once warred with the occupants of Chichen Itza. Caretakers use machetes to keep the jungle growth at bay (6:33-7:00). To see how descendants at the time of filming live, a small plane takes the broadcast crew to Playa del Carmen, one of the today’s top diving destinations in the Gulf of Mexico, but then, a small fishing village reached only by plane or boat (8:09-9:00).

Hosted by veteran radio broadcaster John B. Hughes, who holds up a plastic donkey and elephant to symbolize the Democratic and Republican Parties, the show was intended to present news fairly and impartially (so what else is new?). 

This episode looks at world government, the threat to U.S. sovereignty, and a gag rule that emerged as part of the Cold War.
At 1:27 the show gets going as Hughes discusses the Truman Administration's effort to classify government information and the "gag rule" that seemed to limit the power of the press and the public to gather information about government activities. At 2:00, printing presses are seen with newspapers, and press conferences are seen. At 2:17 Sen. John W. Bricker is seen commenting on Truman's executive order. At 4:26 Thomas Jefferson's statue is seen as Hughes quotes him regarding the importance of free speech. At 5:00, a royal visit is seen with leaders of Washington society signing guest books, making phone calls, etc. At 6:00, Hughes discusses the " World Government Constitution " or New Order, and shows the League of Nations, the 1939 book "Union Now" by journalist Clarence Streit calling for a federal union of fifteen of the world's major democracies, and the United Nations. 
At 6:55, Albert Einstein is shown speaking at the U.N. and Truman is seen at 7:00. At 7:21, Sen. Estes Kefauver is seen speaking about the unification of the Atlantic Union. At 8:16 a Senate Office Building is seen and then Sen. George W. Malone of Nevada is seen speaking about the loss of sovereignty that he believes will result from this type of maneuver. At 9:00, the United Nations building is shown as well as the NATO agency. At 10:21, William Jackman of the Investors League criticizes the tax code.

There is rare footage of the winner, Louise Thaden (4:19). Thaden was a friend and rival of pioneer aviators Amelia Earhart, Pancho Barnes, Opal Kunz, and Blanche Noyes. Thaden defeated her colleagues in the first Women's Air Derby, also known as the Powder Puff Derby, in 1929. The Air Derby was a transcontinental race from Santa Monica, California to Cleveland, Ohio, which was the site of the National Air Races that year. It took place from August 13–20, 1929. Twenty women were entered in the race. Aviatrix Marvel Crosson was killed. Earhart damaged her aircraft at Yuma, Arizona, Barnes became lost and flew into Mexico and damaged her plane attempting to get back on course, and Noyes suffered an in-flight fire over Texas. At 4:58 winners' laurels are placed on her aircraft and at 5:13 the founder of the National Air Races, Cliff Henderson, speaks to her. It also features rare footage of many other participants in the women's air derby, including Blanche Noyes (5:32), and Long Beach's Gladys O'Donnell (6:38) who poses with her plane. Some of the other amazing footage in the film includes stunts performed with a Lockheed Vega (7:17) and dead stick landings performed by bi-planes (8:00) The film concludes with stunning footage of Charles Lindbergh (8:11) attending the air races and a flyover of the dirigible Los Angeles escorted by the Goodyear Blimp (9:00). The dirigible absolutely dwarfs its tiny cousin!

Iris Louise McPhetridge Thaden (November 12, 1905 – November 9, 1979) was an American aviation pioneer, holder of numerous aviation records, and the first woman to win the Bendix trophy, alongside Blanche Noyes.

Support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This film FRANK SINATRA IN ISRAEL dates to 1962 and documents Frank Sinatra's first ever visit to Israel as part of his multinational World Tour for Children. The tour, which raised over $1 million for children's charities around the globe, had stops in Japan, Hong Kong, England, France, Italy, Greece, and Israel. In Israel, Sinatra gave seven concerts in six cities. As you will see in the course of the film, his visit coincided with the country's annual Yom Ha'atzmaut (Independence Day) celebrations. Sinatra sang at the official Independence Day event in Tel Aviv and was seated beside Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and General Moshe Dayan on the reviewing stand during the Israel Defense Forces parade. He also performed for troops at the Tel Nof Airbase and delivered a speech in Jerusalem "urging people all over the world to support Israel". 

The National Committee for Labor Israel presented this film, with Sinatra as the narrator, to promote Israel-American friendship and support. The film begins with Histadrut (1:00). This was a labor movement largely involving the working class; farmers, printers, doctors, educators, etc (1:06). The mayor gives our narrator a view of Tel Aviv, the largest city, from City Hall (1:49). The northern limits of the city boasted modern streets and homes (1:56).  The Bloomfield Stadium was constructed with the assistance of the Histadrut campaign in Canada (2:30). Sinatra's first benefit concert was to be performed in the municipal auditorium in Tel Aviv (2:57). These benefits were to raise money for an International Youth Center in Nazareth (3:05). It is but a short distance from Tel Aviv to Nazareth yet in culture and style there remained a large distance (6:00). On May fourth of his trip, the high point is the laying of the cornerstone for the Youth Center (7:54).  Across the sea of Galilee, he heads for another benefit concert consisting of mostly fa...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/412cdeb6-8bf5-422c-8f02-5777525b2324/bf444061-14df-4e50-b46d-f5d360474a76-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/93MSUEPpGeYJwd8tTGCZYQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1351</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T08:28:45.392Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hhVN9sHwj1MUM1zYbUqD9U</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/27056985-f523-4437-8ef9-18d7916660b0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>STEEL IS A FARMER   1960s AMERICAN IRON &amp; STEEL INSTITUTE PROMOTIONAL FILM  87584</video:title><video:description>This color film “Steel Is A Farmer” was produced for the American Iron and Steel Institute sometime in the 1960s. It opens with a farmer on a tractor (:27). The importance of this profession is measured in crops to feed people (:52) and produce clothing, represented as men’s suits and ties (1:00), on clothing racks (1:06), and on mannequins of women wearing dresses with Peter Pan collars and a head scarf (1:11) and paisley prints (1:18). A Massey Ferguson tractor pulls a plow (1:50) and a Massey Ferguson combine thrashes a field (1:58).  Other farming steel equipment is shown (2:19), including a disc (2:44) and fertilizer equipment (3:02). A crop duster airplane is also used (3:33). Sweet and field corn is harvested by machinery (3:49-4:20). A Massey Ferguson 510 combine is shown in action (4:22), as is a peanut harvester (4:40), a broccoli harvester (4:42), and a potato harvester (4:50).  Farms also use steel arch buildings (5:05) and grain elevators (5:28). Steel machinery can automatically mix the perfect blends of feed (5:29-6:22). Dairy farms use steel feed storage structures into which a machine blows in grain (6:31) and milking parlors use stainless steel and glass to prevent contamination until it can be transported (6:49-7:26). Swine raising also uses feed stored in steel structures that is then distributed to the hogs via machinery (7:34-9:50). A woman uses a keypunch machine and computer punch cards to program their growth and health statistics (9:52-10:32). Poultry also uses steel automation to feed the hens (10:38). Once a human verifies the non-viability of an egg using candling equipment (10:54), automated machine takes over again (10:55-11:20). Sheep wool is analyzed in a laboratory for strength (11:29-11:47). Cotton is harvested using steel equipment (11:52). Farms also use galvanized steel sheets (12:16), stainless steel (12:24), steel tubing (12:26), and steel fences (12:30). A person in protective gear performs steel research tests (12:57).

It’s from the early 1950s as it references 60 years of Alcoa experience, founded in 1888, but also references the completed Shamrock Hotel in Houston, Texas that opened in 1949. The opening shot of a long barn with an aluminum roof (:27) is followed by a barnyard scene of various animals (:33-1:05). Aluminum can be used for more than a milk pail or milk can (1:08-1:13) or cooking in an aluminum pan (1:18). Aluminum roofing (1:35) provides better protection. The owner of a dairy farm in Fall Creek, Wisconsin (1:50-2:07), who appears to be a Mennonite, compliments its shiny clean look that reflects sun rays to keep the barn cooler in the summer and keeps the weather out in the winter. Another farmer agrees and adds it doesn’t have to be painted, making it lower maintenance (2:13-2:38). This even temperature is more applicable to barns curing and storing tobacco (2:40) and for poultry barns (2:44). The owner of that farm adds that aluminum is fire-proof, making it safer (3:00). In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, an Amish buggy (3:15) turns down a lane towards a very large aluminum covered barn (3:20). This Amish farmer says it’s more cost effective to put on a better roof once (3:46-4:30), which he and his 12-year old son did by themselves. Next is a research farm on 738 acres in the Midwest (4:42) that in addition to livestock and poultry, studies foxes, minks, and chinchillas (4:54-5:04). The graduates live on the farm in houses with aluminum roofs to reduce maintenance as they will not rust streak or have to be painted (5:38-5:44). Famous Texas architect Wyatt C. Hedrick sketches an office building to be erected in Midland, Texas (6:17). He also designed the Shamrock Hotel that opened in 1949 in Houston, Texas (6:29) and the Baylor University College of Medicine building in 1947 (6:32). He owned a ranch that specialized in p...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ffddb3ca-5cff-4870-a564-fd223e0dce70/32ce29a4-4924-467d-be6b-eaed810cdf6e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xAx24kZBzxigtusFr4814s</video:player_loc><video:duration>809</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T08:34:49.293Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/j6pFj5dNHvvpFuDRG4Pyhp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4bd369fd-d7b2-4069-ae13-cc1ecc4548d5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HONOLULU &amp; HAWAII  1942  BELL&amp; HOWELL WWII ERA TRAVELOGUE MOVIE  60244</video:title><video:description>Made in 1942 just after the outbreak of WWII, “The Real Hawaii” takes viewers on a tour through the islands, starting with images of the U.S. Pacific fleet and emphasizing the islands' strategic importance (:21). The film is notable for including images of the islands' diverse ethnic make-up and shows the Chinese, Japanese, and Hawaiian peoples who live in the territory. It is also notable for its narration which contains wartime caution regarding spies and collaborators. 

The islands have been formed by volcanic eruptions and ash (:28). The main occupation here is involved in the Navy, Army or other fields of military defense (:46). Considered the most powerful military base, Pearl Harbor, is located twelve miles from Honolulu (:55). A map is shown, directing attention to Hawaii’s location; it is equal distance from four of the five continents (1:03). Headlines from the attack on Pearl Harbor flash upon the screen (1:11). US soldiers and sailors patrol the streets of Honolulu (1:21), and you'll see rare wartime images in color of Honolulu. Native Hawaiians only make up about 6% of the population (1:42). Retail services and commercial fishing was largely in the hands of the Japanese culture (3:00). Some fishing is conducted at sea in small power boats (3:06), others along the black rocks at the shore (3:30).A native fisherman is shown preparing a hand made net, not unlike those used by his forefathers (3:57). Utilizing a spear, another is waving his catch of fish above water (4:48). Natives also forage forests for food (4:56). The national dish called Poi is made from the mashed roots of the Taro plant (4:56). The island raises only about 15% of foods needed and the rest must be imported (5:21). Cowboys and ranchers herd thousands of cattle (5:35). The chief cash crop here is sugar which yields about a hundred million dollars annually and supplies over ten thousand employment (5:48). Carefully contained fires are used to harvest the cane as it is full enough of ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9285ce82-d7e8-46dc-9668-0e9d9b065a7f/55cd4c2d-3026-4c88-ab02-30918da84f1b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/j6pFj5dNHvvpFuDRG4Pyhp</video:player_loc><video:duration>678</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T08:36:30.366Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4qTD74XFWykCSuVGVENJ4D</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/29f49532-9dbc-4f1a-9377-8bc085588ab7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SANTA FE RAILROAD   1945 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TRAVEL PROMOTIONAL FILM 75804</video:title><video:description>This 1945 color film about Southern California was produced for the Atchison-Topeka-and-Santa Fe Railway Company. It opens with orange trees (:56), the mountains (1:05), lakes (1:11), and a woman up to her neck in poinsettias (1:15). Hollywood features Grauman’s Chinese Theatre (1:19), CBS Studios (1:23), and NBC Studios (1:28) with visitors, including sailors (1:32). The beaches are full of 1945 bathing suits, volleyball, and swimming (1:50-2:09). Sports include polo (2:10) and golf (2:27). The Huntington Library and Art Gallery (2:35) in Pasadena displays Sir Thomas Lawrence’s 1794 painting of Pinkie (2:44) and Thomas Gainsborough’s 1770 painting The Blue Boy (2:48). The Tournament of Roses parade of floats in Pasadena (2:54-3:37) is an annual New Year’s Day event. Bands on the field (3:39) and placards in the crowds (3:43) show team loyalty in the annual Rose Bowl game (3:53). The Forest Lawn cemetery in Glendale (4:01) has Greek statues (4:12), the Little Church of the Flowers (4:19), and the Wee Kirk O’ the Heather church (4:22). Chinatown in Los Angeles provides entertainment (4:31-5:02). Olvera Street in the oldest part of Los Angeles is a Mexican marketplace of pottery, paintings, costumes, and dancers (5:05-5:36). There’s also horse race tracks (5:37-6:53). Catalina Island lies just off the coast (7:00), with beautiful beaches and cruise ship docking (7:12). The Bird Farm has exotic birds (7:14-7:44). A ride on a glass bottom boat (7:47) provides a new view. The Lion Farm lives up to its name (8:01); training includes getting a full-grown male to cross a tightrope (8:27). The ghost towns (8:44) provide entertainment to two women, one with the popular rolled hairstyle of the 1940s (9:15).

It is narrated from the standpoint of Don Solis, who explains how he surveyed and laid out his ranch, tilled the soil with wooden plows, raised and herded cattle, and traded tallow and hides. As the film explains, this ranch was part of the Mexican land grant of four-square-leagues (17,713.6 acres) given in 1839 to Gabriel Espinosa by Mexican governor Nicolas Gutierrez to help settle the land they called Alta California, which was shortened to simply California. The film opens with a band and Flamenco dancers outside of a hacienda (:08). Dressed in vintage clothing, (:31) the story begins with Gabriel seeing the land for the first time (:38). To measure the boundary lines, a vaquero (cowboy) begins by tying the rope to the shaft of a lance (1:09), as is the other end of the rope to another shaft. The lance is put next to a skull (1:32) to mark one corner. The rider goes the distance of the rope and puts the lance in before returning to mark out the other three sides. A map shows the layout of the future ranch, which is submitted to the Governor for approval (1:58). Poles are used to build a large corral to hold the cattle (2:51-3:21). Oxen (3:37) plowed the first fields of corn with hand-crafted tools (3:51-4:25). An Indian turns cow hides into a riata, which is a very strong lariat. The entire complexity of making this braided rope is shown (4:35-10:00). A colt (10:13) prances. Rodeos were held in May. The men rounded up the wild cattle to the rodeo area, branding the calves (10:42-14:44). He kept count by making a notch on a tally stick for every ten branded (14:46). Hides from older cattle are staked on the ground to dry and the hair and meat removed (15:20-16:34). Tallow from rendered animal fat is poured into holes and hardened for later use as lard or candles (16:35-17:00). These two products were sold to merchants who arrived by ship, who also del...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b37e39d6-42e0-4885-b5cf-857c64c10527/89a6c75e-337b-48bf-b0d6-049c716d6e08-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oaxBuai5masitSYUj4EJKz</video:player_loc><video:duration>1291</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T08:42:24.826Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bs8s2hkFaFYRBmmHQg4zuS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e5b3fc54-3d0d-4869-85ad-a5798da7633c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CORINTH CANAL GREECE  AEGEAN SEA CONNECTION TO SARONIC GULF  FILM 29254</video:title><video:description>The ‘Corinth Canal’ is a short film produced in Europe as a testimony of US involvement in the European Recovery Program during the years of the Marshall Plan. The film was made specifically to highlight the important work of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in restoring the canal to operational capacity, after it was seriously damaged by German forces retreating from Greece as part of "scorched earth" operations. German forces used explosives to set off landslides to block the canal, destroyed the bridges and dumped locomotives, bridge wreckage and other infrastructure into the canal to hinder repair work. The United States Army Corps of Engineers began work to clear the canal in 1947 and reopened it in 1948.

The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. The builders dug the canal through the Isthmus at sea level; no locks are employed. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base, making it impassable for most modern ships. It now has little economic importance.

The canal was initially proposed in classical times and a failed effort was made to build it in the 1st century CE. Construction started in 1881 but was hampered by geological and financial problems that bankrupted the original builders. It was completed in 1893 but, due to the canal's narrowness, navigational problems and periodic closures to repair landslides from its steep walls, it failed to attract the level of traffic expected by its operators. The canal is now used mainly for tourist traffic.  

The film begins this way: Corinth is a staple of Greek history and had been one of the richest cities, although after the war, little remained save for rubble and fragments of stone (1:06). Families from farms nearby, work on the land and cultivate vineyards (1:38). Construction for t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/54a150a5-0165-433a-8a22-2f8e3ba000d6/c0499fd3-0591-4a3a-9c74-96e96ff66c6f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bs8s2hkFaFYRBmmHQg4zuS</video:player_loc><video:duration>686</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T08:42:18.714Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xgz1G3wYtszKRqbkC7gNSn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a1e8632a-f14c-406b-9927-03ad18e3df0a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s PANAMA TRAVELOGUE  PANAMA CANAL &amp; PANAMA CITY  FILM 44784</video:title><video:description>This short travelogue film on Panama is from the series “This World Of Ours” made by Dudley Pictures in the 1950’s. Panama lies between Costa Rica and Columbia (:35). Within it’s borders, is the Panama Canal which connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans (:43). In 1513, the first European to set eyes upon this land was Balboa and a statue stands in homage to him (1:09). All that remains of the old city founded in 1519, by the Spanish, are shown in rubble (1:17). Two years later the city was rebuilt and surrounded with a protective wall (1:32). Panama City is the capital (1:54). Facing the main road, Central Avenue, is the National Palace which includes important offices of the government (2:02). The city of Colon is about 48 miles from the capital and is the Republic’s second largest city (2:45). One of the main roads is Front Street (2:52). Most of the country is masked in thick jungle with only a small portion under cultivation (3:05). The next largest city is David, and it is the country's hub of agriculture (3:13). Raising cattle is a major industry here and coffee is grown in the mountainous region (3:30). Coconuts grow mainly on the Atlantic side (3:38). Caco beans from which chocolate is made is a major local crop (3:50). Another prevalent crop is the banana and these are shown grown and harvested on the lowlands side (3:57). Workers carry and wash massive clusters on screen (3:57). The area is widely known for the Panama Canal with the canal zone extending five miles on each side (4:29). In 1882, the French were first to attempt to cut a canal through the Isthmus, though it was eventually abandoned (4:47). The US took over and finished the endeavor in 1904, and ten years later it was open to water traffic (4:57). When ship’s cross the canal, they must be lifted three times; about 85 feet above sea level, and then lowered again three times (5:15). The massive chambers, in which boats are raised and lowered, are a thousand feet long, 110 feet across and sev...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fd37cca0-1c68-4e80-bcad-c18ff1d7ced9/1951e9eb-2236-48c9-882d-52ef3b05e1fe-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xgz1G3wYtszKRqbkC7gNSn</video:player_loc><video:duration>562</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T08:43:32.688Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Panama</video:tag><video:tag>Panama City</video:tag><video:tag>1950s</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uRt9jqvJtBKCXrrm42ihra</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3df3f80e-b979-4fba-bd75-3bc12d7dfb90.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ZOMBANGA AND JOLO ISLANDS  1940s PHILIPPINES  CROSSROADS TO THE ORIENT  30724</video:title><video:description>Featuring footage shot just before WWII, Library Films' CROSSROADS TO THE ORIENT (:08) presents rare color images of Manila and the Philippines. As the opening credits of the film explain, the Philippine Islands suffered severe war damage and the islands Zombanga and Jolo were included (:20). However, the way of life on these islands did not change much and the scenes depicted in this film, which were shot before the war, will accurately display life on these islands. The capitol of the Philippine Islands is a city called Manila (1:08). The old city is encircled in a wall built by the Spanish in 1517 (1:24). Steamers from around the world meet along the city's waterfront and country side is riddled with rice fields (1:45). The volcanic crater of lake Taal is the only place in the world where both a mountain exists in a lake, and a lake exists in a mountain (1:58). There are over a hundred islands in the Philippines group (2:31), Zombanga being one of them. This entire city rests on stilts above the water (2:53) and streets are crafted with bamboo (2:56). As firewood is a necessary commodity, it is brought in from other islands (3:44). Food and clothing are bought and sold as, weekly, natives from surrounding islands come (4:12). The people mainly rely on fish, coconuts and rice for food and meat is a rarity (4:35). Exotic fruits like the durian, are a special delicacy of the islands (4:55). As much of this world is cut off from modernization, people live similarly to the ways of their forefathers (5:10). A custom to be depicted is a village wedding (5:28). The bride is escorted by villagers to the wedding place and each villager wears their best sarong (5:31). The gong ringer is shown wearing typical attire including silks and close fitting trousers (5:42). A unique tradition is the filing down and blackening of teeth (5:58). In the ceremony, a priest solidifys a contract between the bridegroom and bride’s father (6:53). As the ritual ceremony ends, music and dan...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e9a80e0f-d18a-48dc-9cb0-bff4ac8e2d0b/fe0d0a34-a936-4885-8c0d-d3b5042f6aab-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uRt9jqvJtBKCXrrm42ihra</video:player_loc><video:duration>597</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T08:45:02.643Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tKWtkUv19mXiFrhPTcmLyy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5988a067-6936-45e2-83a2-58fae5e7c7d4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CONSTRUCTION OF THE CALIFORNIA AQUEDUCT &amp; OROVILLE DAM  WATER SOUTH  60674</video:title><video:description>This film WATER SOUTH looks at the construction of the California Aqueduct starting in 1960, including rare footage of the construction of the Oroville Dam. The California Aqueduct is a system of canals, tunnels, and pipelines that conveys water collected from the Sierra Nevada Mountains and valleys of Northern and Central California to Southern California. The over 400-mile (640 km) aqueduct is the principal feature of the California State Water Project. The Department of Water Resources (DWR) operates and maintains the California Aqueduct.

The film begins this way ... The world faces many issues, a vital one is water supply due to the population increase. Since the 1950’s population doubled and neared tripling presenting the greatest issues in California (1:15). This film focuses on the greatest aqueduct endeavor of the time (1:36). In California, 70% of the water originated from it's northern parts, yet 77% of the state's water needs were in the southern regions (2:19). One of the world's largest water system is directed from Los Angeles (2:39). Concerns arose that the Colorado River Aqueduct would not meet the growing needs of California (3:11). The California Aqueduct was being built by the state and would bring surplus water from the north 450 miles to south (3:21). On November 8th, 1960 voters authorized finances for the project and the first contract was signed by the Metropolitan Water District (3:51). They would contract for the largest amount of water and bear 70% of the project's cost (4:24). It would begin in the high country of North California from streams connecting to the Feather River (5:17). This river rests a few miles above the city of Oroville (5:25). In the areas ravaged from gold mining, rocks and adobe clay were used for the basic building material (6:05). Clay is utilized to form the dam’s water tight core (7:41). A diagram is utilized to show where, during completion the dam would rise to (7:54). It's base would extend by the highway b...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e0c94b8e-8c46-4c8e-9997-f154bf2d2c00/2da628ae-8f2a-41a4-b08b-c6fba77139ac-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tKWtkUv19mXiFrhPTcmLyy</video:player_loc><video:duration>1606</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T08:48:51.038Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rLsNZjuBGK7nhQxnYUMBg6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/343a0595-906d-4712-8d1a-fd4aa505f144.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FARM TRACTOR MAINTENANCE  1940s INSTRUCTIONAL FILM 55344</video:title><video:description>This black and white film about tractor maintenance is a training film produced by the U.S. Office of Education, Federal Security Agency, between 1934 and 1948 as J.W. Studebaker is listed as the Commissioner of Education. It is #6 in the series of “Farm Work Equipment Maintenance.” All maintenance is shown up close and the timestamps given began that task. It opens with a man on a International Harvester Farmall bringing his tractor in to perform maintenance (:33) Each owner’s manual (1:01) details that brand of tractor’s maintenance; however, this film presents the following tasks as common to all. After every 10 hours of operation or daily, inspect the air cleaner cap (1:24); change out the air cleaner oil cup (1:42); when operating on distillate, check the oil level in the crankcase via the two petcocks (2:27); when operating on gasoline, check the oil level in the crankcase via the upper petcock (3:14); lubricate the water pump shaft using the grease required for your tractor (3:50); lubricate the rear axle bearings (4:05); lubricate the steering assembly (4:20 ); lubricate the clutch release shaft (4:53); and lubricate the starting crank bearing (5:08). After 60 hours of operation or once a week, the required maintenance is to remove and clean the air cleaner (5:23); inspect the carburetor air hose for damage (6:14); inspect the fan belt for damage (6:44); clean the spaces in the radiator fins or shutters (6:58); lubricate the fan hub bearing (7:22); lubricate the impulse coupling (7:34); lubricate the clutch release bearing (7:47); and lubricate the clutch pilot bearing (8:06). After 120 hours of operation or twice a month, the required maintenance is to replace the oil filter element, and drain and change the engine crankcase oil (8:28). After 250 hours of operation or monthly, the required maintenance is to take apart and clean the fuel line assembly (10:51); remove, clean, and check the gap in the spark plugs (12:27); and clean the chamber and check the...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d0a9b6f7-b15c-4c07-838f-5ffab55f175f/81660f7a-0768-42ce-b7b1-6aa888b473ad-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rLsNZjuBGK7nhQxnYUMBg6</video:player_loc><video:duration>1329</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T08:51:37.826Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gjpR8sf1TFhwzrg22VbqbR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b643d389-ecc7-494d-8a77-3ff70f781dae.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s DIESEL TRACTOR CARE  INSTRUCTIONAL FILM  MCCORMICK DEERING TRACTORS  46784</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This color film about diesel farm tractor maintenance was produced by Standard Oil in the late 40s/early 50s. The time stamps apply to the first mention of the task. It opens with a McCormick-Deering WD-40 diesel tractor, introduced in 1934 (:09). A tractor with a blade fills a ditch (15:19). A special dirt throwing attachment can create terraces (:31). A Ford 8 N tractor (1947-1952) is small for easy maneuvering (:35). A 1940s Case row-crop model (1:42) has a close-up of the temperature gauge shown (2:19). Use clean soft water from a rain barrel in the cooling system (2:37). To prevent freezing, drain and add back water when the tractor is warm (2:50). Some tractors have a pressure cooling system that must cool before removing the radiator cap (3:24). Many have a thermostat that can get damaged (3:47). A fan belt should have movement between pulleys (4:25). The radiator grill on an International Harvester Farmall (4:51) is removed due to overheating from leaves. Air cleaners should be cleared daily (5:32). Once a year, the air cleaner should be removed and completely cleaned (7:25), which includes pouring kerosene through a separating screen (7:46). An extension lets air be taken from a higher level (8:25). The Ford tractor has a cyclone pre-cleaner (8:39). Always inspect the gasket between the air cleaner and carburetor (8:57) for holes, as well as the ventilating tube (10:02) found on some tractors. Inspect the spark plugs and gaps (10:51). The Farmall instruction manual (11:02) provides information for the Farmall H (11:32) plugs and magneto points, as well as the distributor cap (11:55). The magneto is cleaned on a John Deere (12:26). The battery on a Case is serviced (13:00). Manifold regulation (13:48) must also be maintained. The John Deere gets its carburetor adjusted for a rich mixture (14:09); a flow meter (14:13) verifies fuel waste. A Farmall H also has its carburetor adjusted (15:10) befor...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7c0b29fd-5c19-4240-bbc3-d0341a88ac15/aae4ce26-2542-4583-81e8-fb4e83fe0d04-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gjpR8sf1TFhwzrg22VbqbR</video:player_loc><video:duration>1715</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T08:55:34.307Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nd58Ve5p7pJHgpz5HBjmgU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cdad4c77-7c43-4bd2-9d49-0ed299b2aef8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>COMPUTER INFORMATION MANAGEMENT 1981 WORD PROCESSING EDUCATIONAL FILM  60314</video:title><video:description>This early 1980s film is from an Information Management series that shows how computers can be used in an office environment (:14). The film talks about "word processing specialists" and hints at a future where electronic mail and voice-to-text might become reality.

The film opens with shots of older office equipment and computers such as the Dual Display and Alpha Word 3 (:30). As the world and technology progressed, a need to reach people faster developed and to move words more efficiently (1:40). Word processing, a concept borrowed from the German language (2:02) is what this picture will center on. Pictures on cave walls represent the early beginnings of communication (2:11) and from here it progressed to symbols (2:26) and later, moveable type was invented by Gutenberg (2:42). The first writing machine was the Nickerson Automatic Typewriter (2:45). Until recently, the ways in which office paper work has been handled had not progressed much (3:33). Word processing was the new development, however, which was able to increase the flow and accuracy of information in the office space (4:25). It had the ability to complete four times as much work and print over two hundred lines per minute (4:48). This process combined new procedures, new equipment and newly trained employees (5:38). The First National Bank of Chicago utilized an extensive 53 system operation (6:29). Scholarly studies, one titled “Secretary’s average day” showed they were only able to produce four to six words per minute (7:16). The updated system included a console attached to the typewriter that recorded everything typed on a magnetic card (8:02). This corrected mistakes easily and created perfect copies at 180 words per minute (8:38). Some machines included internal memory and other microcomputers a display screen (8:46). Some of the larger systems in use included the installation at Blue Cross which turned out as many as 4,000 letters a day (9:02) and the giant computer that served the 42 wor...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/abbf62e5-95e7-4fa1-9bdd-1978689ed58a/69b836aa-6ee6-4598-9298-ce19c7b66afb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nd58Ve5p7pJHgpz5HBjmgU</video:player_loc><video:duration>633</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T08:56:42.247Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/h3e1CytPPHn35EgHsyxLAN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e489921e-c332-4efd-b1db-831ada67b217.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THIS LAND OF OURS  INDIANA 1950s LOOK AT THE HOOSIER STATE  60774</video:title><video:description>This film, of the "This Land of Ours" educational series from Dudley Pictures and presented by Official Films will give a tour of Indiana (:09). The state is centered in the heart of the American Midwest (:35). Part of it's rich history includes being home to Abraham Lincoln (:57), the plot of land his family’s log cabin once stood is shown (1:04). In addition is the old swimming hole that had inspired writing's from James Whitcomb Riley (1:19). The George Rogers Clark Memorial stands as homage to the man credited with playing a major role in the acquisition of the northwest territory (1:40). The state's capital is Indianapolis (1:54). The Soldier's and Sailor's monument rests at the hub of the business district and is almost 300 feet high (2:05). The state was admitted to the Union in 1816 and present capitol constructed in 1868 (2:30). Areas including Hammond, East Chicago, Whiting and parts of Gary make up the bulk of its manufacturing center (2:42). Indiana’s port city is South Bend on the St. Joseph River (3:17). Many famed universities include Notre Dame; the world's largest campus (3:28), in Bloomington, Indiana University (3:59) and located in West Lafayette, Purdue University (4:18). Agriculture is substantially important to the state's industry and corn is it’s main crop (4:55). Limestone is incredibly abundant and after being lifted from one of the states many quarries it is used for buildings (5:17). One of the most famous constructed with Indiana limestone is the Empire State Building in New York (5:29). The Indiana State Fair held annually in Indianapolis (6:04). The Memorial Day Classic at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (6:50) is one of the most well known. A summary of the Hoosier State wraps up the film and it’s many diverse qualities (8:44).

This film EMPLOYMENT OF SEA POWER was shown in history classes at the U.S. Naval Academy and elsewhere in the USA in the 1950s. It was one of a series of two films that looked at overall U.S. naval strategy in WWII. Using animation and live action footage, this film looks at the thinking of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in regard to strategic decisions with respect to the Atlantic, Mediterranean and European Theater. 

In December of 1941, war was being fought between the US, Japan, Germany and Italy (:57). A Joint Chiefs of Staff was developed to create cohesion between American and Allied military forces (1:16). Their duty was to plan the overall strategic decisions of WW2 (1:30). Tactics are the handling of forces once engaged in battle (2:11). Yet before tactics can be conducted, the decision of where to place forces must be made (2:15). This is called strategy and is determined by communication lines; sea routes that transport manpower and materials (2:17). Strategy is also determined by the method of bringing concentrated forces against a port of enemy forces while holding the enemy at all other angles simultaneously (2:41). The first decision, which had to be submitted to President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, was how to divide the forces between the Atlantic and Pacific theaters (3:08). The Combined Chiefs of Staff agreed Germany was the most immediate threat (3:55) and to go on the defensive in the Pacific (4:13). The primary mission of the Navy was to control strategic communications, defend routes, and attack the enemy (5:02). US and British forces sent planes in search of U-boats and the Navy dispersed task units of carriers and Destroyers (5:27). These forces were able to avoid submarine clusters through shifting communication lines (5:54). As U.S. forces were able to drive U-boats from the Atlantic and hinder enemy vessels in their harbors, they controlled all lines of communication which gave them ‘comm...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/27c4655b-725c-45b8-ad10-1c33381c5cb7/0ff4128e-b06c-4141-9e98-237aa790d5e8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5UPjSh8b5SpYRHcQb8ttHZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1039</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:00:40.591Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5R23nj9tbwvK3VBDXWxrhd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cb9c00ea-ffb0-4cef-aae8-be1de418ba79.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LAKEHURST  U.S. NAVAL AIR FORCE STATION   NEW JERSEY AIRSHIPS &amp; BLIMPS 33884</video:title><video:description>Made in the 1950s, “This is Lakehurst” explains the history of this famous air station. Lakehurst is the US Naval Air Force's station in Ocean County, New Jersey (:45). Commissioned in 1921, it is best known for being the base for airship training, development and operation (:54). It rests 75 miles south of New York and 50 miles east of Philadelphia (1:04). A facet of it's many varied missions is the Naval Air Technical Training Unit (1:13). In the phase nicknamed “flying the weather” students will learn and observe weather conditions encountered in flight and will stress the importance of low ceiling, visibility and turbulence (2:08). It will be especially relevant to students assigned to weather squadrons (2:27). The information collected will be reported to Navy weather centers for ship and air craft operations (2:43). 
In Parachute Rigger School, pupils learn the techniques of parachute rigging and packing (2:57). They will be proficient in operations and management of oxygen breathing equipment used in Naval Aircrafts as well as the care and use of floatation and survival gear (3:30). All of the preparations will be conducted to complete a test in packing and then using their own parachute in a free fall jump (4:06). Consisting of Air Ship Squadron 3 and Helicopter Squadron 2, is the Fleet Air Detachment (4:24). They provide helicopter support for the Atlantic Fleet and are present in Korea evacuating the wounded, among other missions (4:36). Squadron 3 and Naval Air ships play a vital role in the discovery and destruction of enemy submarines (6:03). In WW2, blimps escorted a total of 89,000 ships and completed some 55,000 flights (6:52). Previously, in pilot school recruits for the Lighter Than Air operations had come from surface ships and submarines (8:16), yet to cut training time from 8 months to 4, already qualified airplane pilots were used (8:34). Free balloon flights prepared pilots for occasions when they may be faced with a dead engine (8:47).

A part of the New England section of the nation, it is full of history such as the old covered bridges (1:00) and towns and cities older than the nation itself (1:03). One of the historical meeting houses is Meeting House Hill (1:07) and this is the birthplace of Daniel Webster (1:11). He was an American politician and orator. Massive slabs of granite are shown and these are used for many buildings and monuments (1:28). The lumber trade plays a vital role in the state’s economy (1:36). A large portion of the nation's supply of wood and paper products come from Berlin near the Merrimack River (2:02). Also on this river, is the state's industrial metropolis, Manchester (2:34). Machinery churn out textiles (2:45) and these products supply much of the state's wealth. The shoe industry is the leading employer as thousands of workers (3:05) combine to create 20% of the nation’s supply. Concord is the capital and of the four largest cities (3:13). The capital building itself appears at (3:25). The single port is at Portsmouth (3:32) which rests at the mouth of the river Piscataqua. Much fishing is conducted here and the annual catch yeilds more than the state's requirements (3:41). Over 250 public and private education institutions contribute to the education facilities for the youth (4:02). The University of New Hampshire is in Durham (4:12). The oldest of the bunch is Dartmouth in Hanover (4:16). Agriculture is prevalent and the Seacoast regoin exhibits fertile valleys from the Connecticut and Merrimack Rivers (4:41). Maple syrup is a proud product of the state and the seasonal taping of the trees is shown (5:13). Tourist trade is a major contributing industry as tens of thousands of acres and state parks provide a variety of recreation (5:44). A sign for the Aerial Tramway (5:54) is shown at Canno...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b451d2fd-2c79-447e-a159-9a2ed6b24ea9/a3b47f60-1bd9-4092-8fd5-b3991ac8e47a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ogsXUChc7AK8aBAdjdHAX4</video:player_loc><video:duration>556</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:04:32.565Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/58P61YpFbi238araLeUd3d</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c12fd902-35dc-4e00-be0f-8fa49d90a87c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THIS LAND OF OURS   RHODE ISLAND  1950s EDUCATIONAL FILM  60764</video:title><video:description>This short film is of the "This Land of Ours" series of educational movies made by Dudley Pictures in the late 1940s and early 1950’s. It gives a brief tour through the state of Rhode Island, the smallest state; only 48 miles long and 37 miles wide (:34). The first settlement was established in 1636 by Roger Williams (:54). One of the many historic sites from it’s birth is Kingston Inn (1:11), which at one time was simply a stagecoach stop and still serves guests today. In Northern Kingston, the well known portrait painter, Gilbert Stuart was born on December 3, 1755 (1:21). In the town of Anthony, General Nathanael Green in 1936 served under the command of General Washington (1:34). Also, at the colony house in Newport, the proclamation was read on this balcony (1:47). This state was of the first of the thirteen colonies to accept the Declaration of Independence. Providence is the states major hub for industry (2:11). In relation to population, Rhode Island produces more than any other state (2:17). Yards of cotton are shown at a mill, and textiles are a major industry good produced here (2:24). Brown University (2:36) stands as the oldest university. In the city of Woonsocket, resting in northern Rhode Island, exists the wool factory (3:04). Interestingly, nearly all the residents here speak French as they are mainly of French Canadian descent and signs are shown mostly written in French (3:26). In Westerly, is another prevalent textile plant, though the main industry is granite (3:51). The famed Rhode Island lobsters appear on screen (4:26) as commercial fishing is another important industry. For vacationing, Newport Beach is the place to be, boasting elaborate summer homes (4:39). General Richard Prescott held headquarters at the house pictured at (4:56). The heart of this city is Washington square (5:01). Commander Oliver Hazard Perry, whom was a major part of the battle at Lake Eerie, was a former resident here (5:06). An old standing mill exhibits etchings...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/217bc774-065f-4e1a-9b48-c9460a786d60/daef1178-5b97-44ab-8462-d8ea565a333f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/58P61YpFbi238araLeUd3d</video:player_loc><video:duration>549</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:05:05.518Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gW4zJEnqNXjwihvNZFfUup</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1e3c312e-c4e7-4473-aace-ba457bed8ef1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NORTH AMERICAN A3J VIGILANTE / A-5 AIRCRAFT   PROMOTIONAL FILM 81234</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This film V FOR VIGILANTE is a promotional piece made by North American Aviation to promote the “super sonic rifle”, the Navy's A3J fighter plane known as the A3J Vigilante (1:14). At the time the aircraft was being used as a nuclear weapon delivery platform. According to the film, the plane "contains some of the most advanced electronic equipment created by science" (1:42). The pilot and navigator could fly this plane over thousands of miles (1:56). Unlike missiles or unmanned crafts, this could be redirected to new targets while in flight (2:05). It is flown by television and radar and guided by devices enabling sight in the dark (2:21). The officers of the Bureau of Naval Weapons play a decisive role in choosing which crafts and equipment are used and will direct Aviation personnel to construct them (3:03). The Columbia division was chosen to construct the Vigilante (3:30). It will contain two turbo engines that enable movement faster than the speed of sound (3:55). After thourough plans have been drawn, a scale model is constructed (4:57). In the Columbus Division’s wind tunnel, jet streams will test the planes handling (5:31). The model is able to do everything a regular plane can, save for flight (5:38). Flight conditions are simulated by engineers and they seek ways to improve the craft (5:47). From here, the production of the Vigilante will commence (5:58). Miniscule components are machined (6:31) and in temperature controlled rooms, specific instruments are used for inspection (6:34). On the factory floor, the wings are crafted (6:54) as mechanics and Navy inspectors ensure proper construction (7:11). The craft is 73 feet long (7:35) and tail assembly rises twenty feet in the air (7:45). One unique feature is the linear rejection bomb bay (7:50). After construction, test engineers take over (7:56). In a steel rig, the craft will endure strenuous conditions (8:13). There will be many tests to fo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/81057364-3f63-4a4b-8acb-574c749fbfff/81a9958b-23bf-4877-bf93-9ca20c8e4cdb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gW4zJEnqNXjwihvNZFfUup</video:player_loc><video:duration>746</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:06:50.362Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vShdeuqLYDMK7DW3V9L2q3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a05fed66-fc5b-45d2-ae85-f25c4ac00052.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ALLIED CONVOYS IN THE BATTLE OF THE ATLANTIC   LOGISTICS OF "ROAD TO BERLIN" DOCUMENTARY 21244</video:title><video:description>Made in 1943, ROAD TO BERLIN was released as Official War Film #8. This industrial incentive film examines the logistical and tactical gauntlet that supplies sent to the European Theater faced to reach the front, including the German U-boat wolfpacks which at the time were exacting a heavy toll on convoys. 

The film opens with a wolf pack of submarines meeting northwest of the coast of Britain (1:00). American, Dutch and British ships are under torpedo attack (1:24). The Army Transportation Corp is charged with the shipment of men and equipment overseas (1:37) and behind this assignment are the many unending hours of work to obtain ships and outfit them for duty (1:45). Supplies are gathered and stored in strategic shipping locations all over the country (1:53). The office depicted on film is receiving information on the wolf pack of subs and are then able to brief their route and destination (2:30). A request is sent for an escort for convoys carrying men and supplies ahead of schedule (3:52). Shown is one of the largest general stores of the Army stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific (4:40) which includes warehouses, storage facilities, cranes, trucks, freights all handling the goods needed for war (4:46). At 5:39 African American factory workers are seen moving supplies. A request goes through a telephone switchboard at (6:00) to move a shipment deadline from forty eight hours up to twelve (6:41). This shipment has been earmarked for offensive action and 10,000 workers race to move the supplies (8:30). The deadline date will dictate the sailing of a convoy, unbeknownst to the workers (8:45). All of the training, worker skill, cataloging and months of preparations will now be vital (9:31). Supplies large and small like pillboxes, barbed wire, whole trucks, portable bridges and buldozers are loaded for shipment (9:52). As the deadline ticks nearer and job is half complete, foods and clothing for troops as well as populations affected by war are loaded (10...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f1de3330-f6f6-4bf1-abdb-167054cedc96/9e1b88c1-24cb-4eea-bb44-bbd545286646-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vShdeuqLYDMK7DW3V9L2q3</video:player_loc><video:duration>1125</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:09:48.725Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wVXi1bEvRFsLYK3uDUDnwv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/18c53dce-0d55-4b78-a9f0-915f7432181a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"STOP FIRES SAVE JOBS" 1940s INDUSTRIAL FIRE PREVENTION &amp; SAFETY FILM   STEEL MILLS, FACTORIES 31724</video:title><video:description>Made in the 1940s by the National Board of Fire Underwriters and the Factory Insurance Association, STOP FIRES SAVE JOBS shows the threat of fires in the workplace: how they are caused, what their impact can be, and how they can be prevented. The film contains a lot of wonderful shots of factories, workers, fire engines and fire fighters, and of course -- fires.The film begins with fire; how fire may make jobs, be the servant of industry, creates goods and payrolls (1:01), when uncontrolled is also the destroyer of all of these and man himself (1:33). Each year, fires injure about 100,000 people (1:52) and burn to death at least 10,000 (1:52). In one year 30,000 factories will be damaged, fires will have cost 200 million days of work (2:21), and created a loss of over $250 million (2:42). Through fire protection engineering, management and employee cooperation (3:18) these fires may be prevented. There are three factors that enable a fire, and these are fuel, ignition source, and air (3:51). Because flames feed on fuel, it is imperative to keep waste from piling up (4:21). Aisles and exit pathways must remain clear (4:28). As packing materials are nearly always combustable, they should never be used near flames or anything conductive (4:51). Even outdoors, trash must be kept from doorways as it may create a path of fire to the building (5:41). Vapors from gasoline are of the most dangerous (6:00), as they are highly flammable and dangerous at all times (6:09).Other liquids such as alcohol, gasoline, naphtha, ether and types of paints, even at low temperatures are constantly giving off vapors (6:27). The fine dust from flours and powdered sugars are equally as dangerous (6:48). In a testing machine, a small quantity of this dust is exposed to a air stream blowing past a heated coil to show just how combustable it is (7:25). Therefore, dusting systems and vents must be frequently checked and cleaned (7:38).As sources of ignition often hide, machinery should never...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fa7aa7bd-17c4-4b9e-9e07-eae75339f905/aacdd5ef-29da-4adf-b670-1405496b60ba-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wVXi1bEvRFsLYK3uDUDnwv</video:player_loc><video:duration>1083</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:12:19.806Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gvbgh8sQZS89rRXAk4iRA5</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5a8343ce-254d-46f3-9211-a0e6ab8ba76c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM AIRLINES  MEXICO, YUCATAN PENINSULA &amp; GUATEMALA 1960s TRAVELOGUE  59864</video:title><video:description>This color film from the 1960s was produced for Pan American by Vision Associates Productions. The Yucatan Peninsula (:26) is less than 2 hours from the U.S. by a Pan American Boeing 707 Jet Clipper. A Golden Triangle vacation is to visit the cities of Merida, Mexico City, and Guatemala City (:50). Merida is a city dating back to the Maya Indians. It is the capital of Yucatan (:59) and has many street vendors (1:14).  A show at night reenacts the Mayan rituals (2:18-3:05). The ruins of temples (3:28) have intricate stone carvings, and their mastery of building is shown by a large stone palace (3:59-4:23). At a hacienda, a boy sculpts in clay (4:40) and a man paints the figures (4:56). The city of Chichen Itza (5:17-5:55) has a pyramid that is actually a Mayan calendar. This most sacred city of the Maya (5:57) has a hall of columns that originally supported a ceremonial platform (6:11). At its center is the Temple of the Warriors (6:20) and the statue of Chaahk, the god of rain (6:26). Sports played here included passing a ball through a two-foot hoop (6:39) with carvings at its base of the winners (6:48). Along another wall is the record of the losing team (7:00), its captain beheaded. Also there is Cenote, a sacred well that is a natural sinkhole (7:11-7:33). The Quintana Roo territory also contains abandoned temples on the hillside (8:11-9:00). Offshore is the island of Cozumel (9:07), a new vacation destination at that time. A group goes scuba diving (9:18-11:32) as others enjoy sailing and swimming (11:34-13:30). Scuba divers grabs lobsters for eating back at shore (13:31-14:45). Guatemala City is the nation’s capital, where modern architecture mixes with classic symbolism (15:57-17:09). A giant cross (17:13) rises at Antiqua, a city with many ancient churches intricately carved but heavily damaged by earthquakes and so turned into parks (17:26-18:30). Agua, an active volcano, overlooks the city (18:44).

It features six European cities: Lisbon, Madrid, Rome, Florence, The Riviera, and Paris. We begin in Lisbon, Portugal (1:46), a city with over 2,700 years of history. A fisherman and his son walk through the Old Quarter to the harbor (1:47-2:38). Buckets of fish are transferred in baskets to shore each morning (2:47-3:02). A cable car moves up the street (3:25). Fishermen hoist a sail and head out to sea (3:59-5:29). Our Pan American Boeing 707 Jet Clipper (5:30) takes us Madrid, Spain, where a couple ride a Vespa (5:48). Inside the Plaza de Toros Las Ventas (6:22), bulls are viewed to choose for the afternoon fight (6:34-7:19). The matadors parade through the bullring (7:20). The first bull enters to either kill or be killed (7:42-8:47).Our third stop is Rome, Italy (8:57) where a tour guide passes the Fountain of Neptune (9:09) and other ancient ruins (9:51) by bus.

Costa Rica is 23,000 square miles and its population around 1947 was about 750,000 (:36). The opening images are of houses and rolling green hills with cows grazing and laying upon them (1:11). The national flower is the orchid and is shown (1:45). The largest city and state capital is San Jose pictured at (2:03). Pedestrians mill through a busy street in the capital and it’s buildings exhibit Roman style architecture (2:25). In the tropical climate, coffee is a major crop (2:31). A woman is shown harvesting the beans (3:14) and men are depicted washing them in long watery man made canals. The beans are then dried in the sun (3:39). Another major crop is the banana (4:22) and a field of them is watered (4:36). Large clusters are lifted from a truck and then washed (4:53). They are then tossed into ships for transport (5:27). Another export is sugar (6:01) and it is pictured in fields (6:07). Strong rope is created from abaca fibre also known as manila hemp (7:04). Painted oxcarts are the pride of many farmers (7:48) and one is shown carefully painting his cart (8:09). Men drive down the road leading to the Irazu Volcano (9:25) and walk to the rim overlooking the crater. A fiesta is depicted in the streets with instruments and dancing (10:05). Bull fights are shown next (10:55) with a massive crowd encircling one bull. The men dance and weave in and out of the bull's violent path just before the film snaps to conclusion (11:44).

It opens with footage of the destruction left in it’s wake (:49). Winds reached speeds of up to 200 mph and tides rose up to 30 feet (2:26). Of the worst hit areas included Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Virginia (2:39); the coast of Mississippi being the worst. Transportation means suffered greatly as ships were beached too high upon the shore (3:09), oil barges were also blown upon the shore (3:28), and railroads were knocked out of commission (3:39). As massive amounts of relief would be required, truck transports came to carry the majority of the burden (4:16). Donations of medicines, food and clothing began to arrive rapidly after the ‘all clear’ signal had been given (4:52). More than a thousand transports were delivered and some came from as far away as California (5:16). The responsibility for these deliveries fell upon the Mississippi Trucking Association (5:25). Temporary headquarters are installed in hangar 69 at the Gulfport Airport (5:31). In order to receive aide rapidly, all restrictions on certain types of vehicles for highway use was lifted (6:01). The chairman of the Mississippi Public Service Commission (6:58), is recorded commending the trucking facilities for speedy aide and allowing various use of trucks such as the refrigerator trucks as temporary morgues. While the beginning scenes had come from Mississippi, an equally devastated area was Nelson county Virginia (8:49). As the James River flooded, more than 100 had perished and again transportation systems hindered (8:57). The trucking industry bore a loss of over two million dollars (9:36). At Buena Vista Motel, the mayor speaks of the speed of the trucking industry’s assistance in their time of need (9:58). The official thank you is deli...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/cb704a76-80db-4026-ac88-ce423e0764b6/37478898-cf87-4579-8f3e-11049686276f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/r83CgXBDGeyvpb4znzZTY3</video:player_loc><video:duration>970</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:22:58.652Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Hurricane Camille</video:tag><video:tag>Gulf Coast</video:tag><video:tag>James River</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fuf4PVbTKp7W4d5Fhnuwod</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7facb110-8758-4e2c-96a2-a3c8cf4905f3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE BIG PICTURE  MOUNTAIN WARFARE TRAINING  / 8th ARMY RECON / CAMP GORDON / WEST BERLIN   80704</video:title><video:description>The Big Picture is an official television report from the United States Army (:42). It was a documentary program that aired from 1951 to 1964. Sergeant Stewart Queen opens the episode speaking of the foot soldiers and their vital place in the military (:49). In mountain warfare training; a finishing school for infantry men, they learn to scale up and down mountains (1:31). In Austria, the men gather around their instructor, learning to master footholds on the mountains (1:56). The ‘buddy's dirty boot hold’ in which one soldier hoists another using his hands is shown (3:17). As the training becomes trickier, they are taught rope climbing and how to tie proper knots (4:19). A stretcher is utilized to get men down from the mountain and whether it be in Indian fashion or aerial tramming (5:54) they must be tied securely. Rope bridges are handy and soldiers learn to build and then climb across (6:11). 

Sergeant Queen returns and directs viewers to an airfield in Korea, to look at army pilots (7:16). The 8th Army Flight Detachment’s (7:48) operation's officer has received information that the Troop Commander had run into trouble (7:57). Assigned to the task is the Army pilot, observer and a small plane (8:13). We see the two men exiting the ready room and heading for the Observation Center to be briefed (8:38). Army issued flak vests are slipped on for protection (9:02). In the plane nicknamed the ‘Bird Dog’ (9:38) they take off, remaining high until over enemy lines (10:31). ‘Approaching Battle zone’ is announced and they head lower for a closer investigation (10:40). After confirming the enemy position, all information is recorded into the record, such as troop movements and how many guns spotted (11:59). 

In Camp Gordon Georgia, an arena called the ‘struggle pit’ exists (13:43). This gives Signal Corps Bases an opportunity to practice man to man combat. The only way to remove an opponent from the pit is by physically lifting him and tossing him out, as the instruc...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/75516f6d-3f86-4649-92ca-71a6110887b0/fbce9051-c72d-491d-a8db-e672e58532f3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fuf4PVbTKp7W4d5Fhnuwod</video:player_loc><video:duration>1416</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:26:13.918Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qM6mgmHty9z6NHZBpc3VBn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bb154b54-ecdc-405e-bd41-e78702a1c2c4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM AIRLINES  WINGS TO ITALY    ITALIAN TRAVELOGUE  ROME 60144</video:title><video:description>This color film from 1959 was produced for Pan American by Coleman Productions. Its subtitle, “The Land of Enchanted Fountains” is exemplified by different fountains (:46-1:50). A Pan Am Boeing 707 Clipper Jet (2:15) flies over the Roman Colosseum (2:19-29), dating back to A.D. 70.  We fly over St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican (2:30) before viewing at ground level (2:35-3:05). Underground springs fuel different fountains (3:24-4:12). A man on a Vespa (4:12) calls for a pretty woman. A police officer in white directs traffic (4:40) to the Piazza del Campo de Fiori (4:55). Next is the Victor Emmanuel II marble monument in Piazza Venezia (5:10), the Spanish Steps that lead up to the Trinita dei Monti Church (5:28-5:41), and the Baths of Caracalla (6:17). The giant marble head, feet, and hands of the Colossus of Constantine is another destination (6:35-6:56). The Forum was once the heart of the city (7:00). There are marketplaces on the Via Condotti selling copper (8:00), vegetables (8:05), leather purses (8:12), handwoven straw hats (8:15), and custom dresses out of handwoven silk (8:21-8:34). Food is served at various Italian restaurants (8:39-9:21). The streets are quiet after lunch for an hour of siesta (9:46). 
A sunlit terrace oversees the blue water of the Mediterranean as people look through a tower viewer (10:24) on the Island of Capri (10:35). Below, the beach and water are full of people, kayaks, and small boats (10:40). A woman wears a tiny 1959 style bikini as they join others at the pool (10:42). Others enjoy waterskiing and boating (10:56-11:22). Dancers in costume entertain along the Amalfi Coast (11:27), as hillside fishing villages lead down to the Mediterranean (11:45).  The ports are full of fishing boats (12:07), where fishermen repair their nets (12:22). Yachts and sailboats are enjoyed at Portofino (12:41-13:43). The ruins of Pompeii (13:45) have remnants of walls and statues. A team of oxen plow the earth as grapes and olives are carried on...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c8a7181b-88c0-4915-bd88-b47bd71cf817/1cd89e60-9388-441d-9c0a-bfc735215bfb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qM6mgmHty9z6NHZBpc3VBn</video:player_loc><video:duration>1759</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:30:27.877Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eLdpw5W8vczGVEhYuJopsd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d680d86a-74de-4243-99b4-780b3144f1e0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s CUBA &amp; HAVANA EDUCATIONAL / TRAVELOGUE  MOVIE  87024</video:title><video:description>This “This World of Ours" film series was created by Dudley Pictures for classroom use. This film focuses on Cuba, considerably one of the largest and most important islands of the West Indies (:33). It lay about 150 miles south of Florida discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492 (:43). The island remained under Spanish rule until 1898. Havanna, a metropolis of three quarter million residents, is the capital (:55). It's harbor was constructed in 1597 as a defense against the British (1:22). It’s streets and architecture are a blend of old and modern (1:29). A street vendor is pictured and the many milling throughout the city sold lottery and coffee among other things. The Columbus Cathedral (1:51) was believed to house the remains of Christopher Columbus for a short period of time. The country's valuable center for higher education (2:08) is the University of Havanna and boasted one of the western hemisphere’s most extensive library's. Cuba’s Congress as well as entire capital were fashioned with some semblance to the American versions (2:34). One of the city's popular streets is Park Avenue and it is pictured lined with Moorish and Spanish architecture (2:54). The avenue ran from the port to the capital. A monument facing the harbor (3:05) was constructed in memory to those whom perished during the explosion of the Battleship Maine. This port is also Havanna’s busiest (3:19). On the eastern end of the island, resides the second largest city, Santiago (3:51). Santiago was once the country's capital (4:04) and two miles east is San Juan Hill. Teddy Roosevelt had led the Rough Riders in an advance that would ultimately aide in the release of Cuba from Spain here (4:31). The original trenches from the battle are shown (4:48). Tobacco being one of the most prevalent exports, the famed Cuban cigars are hand rolled by workers (5:15). Another major crop is pinapples and their thick leafy tissue holds enough water to enable growth even in the dryest of climates (5:41)....</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6f732c72-36aa-42bb-bbb7-5a38597e7bbc/337d91ec-a184-4e41-85d5-00111f8e5e29-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eLdpw5W8vczGVEhYuJopsd</video:player_loc><video:duration>548</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:31:15.223Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Havana</video:tag><video:tag>Cuba</video:tag><video:tag>1950s Cuba</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ohZfNdSZcTjbJYienoTXRh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c3c5f5c8-d9b6-42f4-b611-1888ab39d587.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1949 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LOOK SWIMSUIT GIRLS &amp; MOVIE STUDIOS  57624b</video:title><video:description>This short extract from a Southern California travelogue features stunning images of women modeling the latest swimsuits.

Read Admiral Jay Lloyd Abbot (01:50) is head of naval support for the missions and narrates the film, which is meant to provide an opportunity for those who cannot visit the continent to see what it is all about. The film opens with a ship crashing through ice (00:12) and scenes of mountains and ice fields. The desolate region, despite the cold and ice, is a desert—a desert without sand. Navy men of Task Force 43 and civilian scientists work and reside at McMurdo Station (03:07), contributing to scientific investigations. McMurdo Station is powered by nuclear energy (03:51): the atomic reactor provides electricity to light and heat the base. The McMurdo Dispensary (05:00) is the closest thing to a hospital on the continent, and the base is also home to a church (05:24), store, library, and post office. Tasks are often difficult to complete because of the weather (06:00). The weather station (06:30) tracks weather and helps with predicting conditions in order to successfully resupply the station. Williams Field (06:58) is located seven miles from McMurdo, and sees about 300 flights per season, all which provide supplies to McMurdo and other stations. Tractors and sleds are used to load and unload cargo from the planes before the planes, such as the C-130 Hercules (08:50), take off. South Pole Station (09:39) is buried under snow and features tunnels to access different buildings. Sleep adaption studies are conducted (11:29) and reveal how men cope with the stress of living in these extreme conditions. Plateau station (12:26)—construction of the base began in December 1965—features a tall radio tower and the construction of a hut before start of winter (13:00). At Bird Land Camp (13:45), men head out to a nearby mountain via snowmobiles; a Russian scientist joins the group to take samples of the rare exposed rock in Antarctica (1...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6fcaf80f-0103-4009-b2c2-eb4bad35113f/d0c84472-020f-49ce-aa4b-dc940532aa77-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eNESjrwjjsVKMEGqgvKbin</video:player_loc><video:duration>1567</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:35:46.876Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eBPAVEPaiKXEKhB9nnTkjW</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c97adbb0-04d3-488e-9854-5b1d5badc9ab.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BASIC MOTION PICTURE TECHNIQUES   1940s CELLULOID COLLEGE TRAINING FILM  56704</video:title><video:description>Produced as part of Sterling Films' "Celluloid College" in 1947, Basic Motion Picture Technique is an educational film on the basics of filming a motion picture. It was made by Roy Creveling and Emil Brodbeck as edutainment. The film “has been carefully designed to teach exactly what it is that makes a movie interesting and enjoyable to an audience. It teaches technique, the ‘art’ of using the camera.” The first lesson deals with panning (01:21). A camera operator in front of a cathedral demonstrates the issues with panning too quickly. Filming a visit to a zoo or filming a sporting event (04:00) reveals how panning with moving objects can be effective if done properly. The second lesson discusses the importance of using a tripod (04:20), how to move it, and how to set it up. The next lesson is shot break-down (06:45). Here, the importance of shots is discussed, using the Statue of Liberty as the subject. Scenes from a student film (Victory Garden) demonstrate the impact of the different shots. The fourth lesson pertains to screen direction (09:30), explaining how to use screen direction to tell a coherent story using a couple on a hike as the example. “Matching Action” is the next lesson in the film, which explains how to ensure that movement appears seamless from one shot to the next, using a woman on a beach doing a series of exercises as the subject for the topic (11:53). “Newsreel Technique” (14:40) demonstrates how to skip large parts of action while still giving the audience a sense of “seeing” the whole story, and highlights the importance of cutaway scenes. The seventh lesson, “Build-up” (17:58), shows how to create other cutaway scenes to tell the story, this time using a child writing a letter about his summer activities as the example. Composition (21:32) teaches how to use the view finder to identify a good scene and discusses what factors make for good composition. “Indoor Lighting” (24:23) shows the different ways to use lighting to convey emotion ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6e472b9f-95a5-4385-96d9-2bfd2a8e7bde/bf7509c8-9a7d-4001-aa03-01f7ca5276f4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eBPAVEPaiKXEKhB9nnTkjW</video:player_loc><video:duration>1860</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:37:25.353Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dX6RA7J9DiVE5c1Q7gqYQC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4de96f9f-d9ec-4452-9447-5c741b38a82b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1948 VISIT TO MANHATTAN   TIMES SQUARE  WASHINGTON D.C.  56174</video:title><video:description>Dating to 1948, this delightful 16mm silent home movie shows views of Washington D.C., Boston and New York City in color.

USS Hoist ARS-40 is shown in operation in the film. The submarine shown being salvaged appears to be a WWII boat; the techniques shown probably would not work with a modern submarine due to the size of these vessels. 

The film begins with a submarine sinking and the rescue of the ship’s survivors. Rescuing survivors is the only goal immediately following the sinking of a submarine. Once all survivors are rescued, the Navy’s next objective is salvaging the ship (02:23). Specialized equipment is used by salvage forces (02:45); however, depending on the operation, different equipment and methods are required for a successful salvage operation. Regardless of the various factors, three basic principles or steps are consistent for salvaging submarines: prepare a salvage plan, rig for lift, and execute lift. The first, prepare a salvage plan, includes evaluating the environment, choosing an appropriate lifting method, and determining the required lifting force. Officers gather information they need to formulate their salvage plan, operating out of the shipyard where the sunken submarine was built (03:41), giving them access to the engineering plans and other details of the ship. The ocean bottom is taken into account as the ocean environment is examined. Depth plays a role as to what divers can accomplish, and weather is also a factor that must be considered. Planners must also know the state of submarine, which comes from interviews with survivors and communication records from the ship. Shipyard managers assist the planners in what needs to be done to make the sub airtight, if possible. A diver is then sent down (06:24) to survey the ship and gather on-the-spot information, most importantly whether the hull is partially buried or not. This allows for planners to determine the lifting method. The different lifting methods are: patch and pump (07:...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c80793e3-2be6-4b39-a00e-3fb2aacd9ac0/c86046e8-5aad-40d4-818d-94cdb6a36e6a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qGCvtXmSYx61KdUqYhagjG</video:player_loc><video:duration>1779</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:43:03.782Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nY4wh63BmK5JqLLxiiDkfX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ec7a6408-8255-4917-8728-f74aaba91878.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII INVASION OF SOUTHERN FRANCE  OPERATION DRAGOON   THE BIG PICTURE  28944</video:title><video:description>Produced by the Army Pictorial Center as part of The Big Picture television series, the 1963 episode (TV 572) “Command Decision” recaps the decision by Allied leaders to launch Operation Dragoon.

Operation Dragoon (initially Operation Anvil) was the code name for the Allied invasion of Southern France on 15 August 1944. The operation was initially planned to be executed in conjunction with Operation Overlord, the Allied landing in the Normandy, but the lack of available resources led to a cancellation of the second landing. By July 1944 the landing was reconsidered, as the clogged-up ports in Normandy did not have the capacity to adequately supply the Allied forces. Concurrently, the French High Command pushed for a revival of the operation that would include large numbers of French troops. As a result, the operation was finally approved in July to be executed in August.

The goal of the operation was to secure the vital ports on the French Mediterranean coast and increase pressure on the German forces by opening another front. 

The episode begins with Allied ships gathering in the Mediterranean on 15 August 1944 in preparation for Dragoon. Soldiers climb onto LCVPs as the invasion of southern France is about to begin. The decision to launch Dragoon is a controversial decision, one made by Allied world leaders in 1943. Two conferences, one in Cairo with Chinese President Chiang Kai-shek, U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (00:53) and a second in Tehran with Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin, Roosevelt, Churchill (00:57), results in the decision to invade southern France in conjunction with Operation Overlord, forming a pincer move in an attempt to push back Nazi forces. The first conference in Cairo is held at Giza next to the Great Pyramids (03:35), and the second conference is held at the Russian Embassy in Tehran (04:27). Before Dragoon can happen, Overlord commander Dwight D. Eisenhower (07:01) orders efforts to fo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b1e3bbc6-e890-40ae-b83c-a534ce1ab647/58173818-c6f4-443d-a8f1-66c42a27180f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nY4wh63BmK5JqLLxiiDkfX</video:player_loc><video:duration>1724</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:43:57.383Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hcWNu6zfo8UCexEFxve4P9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6eb6e8c6-d545-4508-9cc6-94b47446e7ea.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. ARMY BATTLE OF THE BULGE DOCUMENTARY "TIGERS ON THE LOOSE" PART 2  80814</video:title><video:description>Part two of the Big Picture about the Battle of the Bulge, TIGERS ON THE LOOSE was produced by the Army Pictorial Center and is narrated by Lorne Green. It features live WWII footage and interviews with commanders of the infamous 10th Armored “Tiger” Division. It begins December 16, 1944 as Hitler drives forward (:45-1:08). American defenders at Bastogne are outnumbered and outgunned. General Anthony McAuliffe (1:29) has replied to a letter of surrender with the single word “NUTS.” The 10th Combat Command B and the 101st Airborne have heavy fog, limiting the resupplying of ammunition and medical supplies (1:43-2:24). December 22 was clear, allowing the Air Force to drop supplies (2:35). Brigadier General William Lynn Roberts (2:49) describes a lucky break. A captain in Bastogne was an expert at ground-to-air communications via a VHF set to the Allied planes overhead, dropping napalm bombs, bombs, rockets, and bullets (3:23-4:18). This advantage included seeing enemy tank tracks in the snow (4:21-4:40), shifting the battle. General McAuliffe (4:45) talks about Christmas Eve, when a house with wounded Tigers was completely destroyed (5:30). On December 26, the 4th Armored Division breaks the German line (5:42-5:54). On January 16, 1945, they are officially relieved during a blizzard (6:04), as soldiers fail to get a tank up the hill (6:11-6:32). The 10th leaves town on February 20 to capture Trier (7:58-8:33). Colonel James O’Hara commanded the 54th Armored Infantry Battalion of the 10th (8:39) in the Saar-Moselle triangle (8:48-9:17) and was instructed to cross the Saar River.  Company Commander John Devereaux (9:52-11:16) discusses the night crossing, which involved traversing a booby-trapped minefield while under fire. He then explains how pillboxes were cleared (11:47-11:59). The Tigers set off for Trier on February 21, taking shelling (13:15-14:22). The Germans were on the ridges on each side so they crossed at night (16:45-17:39).

It opens with the troops practicing their tank skills at Fort Benning (:38-:57) as the division was activated July 15th, 1942. Major General Paul Newgarden, its first commander (:58), died in a plane crash July 14, 1944. Captain John Drew Devereaux (1:18-2:13) praises the Major’s instilled sense of pride. His successor was Lieutenant General William HH Morris, Jr. (2:17). The division sailed from New York on September 14, 1944 (2:36-2:54). Adolf Hitler (2:56-3:18) and his leaders lay out the last major German offensive campaign: “Operation Watch on the Rhine”, commonly known as the “Battle of the Bulge.”  On September 22, 1944, the 10th Armored Division arrived at Cherbourg, France (3:20), under General George S Patton’s (3:33-3:53) Third Army. Colonel Thomas Chamberlain (3:58) commandeered the 11th Tank Battalion. Orders are received in a graveyard in Chalons-sur-Marne (4:09) before moving the M3 Half-tracks (4:37-5:05) on Halloween night to relive the 90th Division at Mars-la-Tour (5:17-5:55). Brigadier General William Lynn Roberts (5:57) was the Combat Command Commander of the CCB 10th Armored Division. Colonel Curtis Leland Hankins (6:08) was a Battalion Commander in that battle. An exchange of fire power is shown (6:18-6:58). Colonel James O’Hara (7:02) commanded the 54th Armored Infantry Battalion. A tank explodes (7:51), not deterring the troops (7:53-8:10), as told by Sergeant John Winter (8:15). The 10th participates in the capture of Metz (8:36-9:12). A soldier fires a bazooka (9:17). The successful mission shows captured soldiers (9:44) and destroyed German tanks (9:51) but did have wounded (9:55-10:05). 
On December 7, 1944, Hitler (10:08) approves his final plans for what would be known as the Battle of the Bulge,...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dbf67831-bd15-4084-ab63-36804691492c/02f1ce5e-85d3-4f41-9a33-5f04c4c95c50-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/taoLAbcZQDTrcwZkdpHppA</video:player_loc><video:duration>1653</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:48:35.659Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tw8yWVwDJ5dfLiVDTPSb2s</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/645741ed-b6d2-4810-87ad-a60b640a0a3f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM AIRLINES WINGS TO TURKEY  1960s ISTANBUL TRAVELOGUE  28064</video:title><video:description>This color film from 1960 was produced by Fox subsidiary Movietonews Inc. We begin with a Pan American Boeing 707 Jet Clipper (:20-:37) arriving in Istanbul, Turkey, once known as Constantinople. A visitor is served lemonade via a unique dispenser strapped to a local’s back (:48-1:00) while another gets a shoe shine at an elaborate stand (1:01). A gentleman puffs on a nargalay (hooka) of flavored smoke (1:20-1:37). At the many docks, bridges full of people and cars connect the city over two continents (1:38-2:11) as Turkey spans both Europe and Asia. Ferry boats (2:18) are another means of transportation that passes by the Dolmabahce Palace (2:31-2:46), the administration center of the Ottoman Empire from 1856 to 1887 and 1909 to 1922 and now a museum. Within its ground stands a mosque (2:47). Another tourist site is Rumeli Hisari Castle built in 1451 (2:54), where a reenactment of an Ottoman military band, also known as a mehter band, performs using percussion instruments (2:56-4:09). Another exhibit is of the sword and shield dance (4:11-4:42). The Blue Mosque is a favorite place to visit (4:46). Pillars and rocks are all that remains at Bergama, an ancient spa (5:01). The ruins of Ephesus (5:29) were abandoned in the 15th century, and there are many other remnants of statues and Greek culture (5:34-6:03). 
Every May 19th, a festival celebrating National Youth and Sports Day takes place (6:09), which includes a tall tower made of Navy men balancing on each other’s shoulders (6:25) as female dancers perform (6:27). A U.S. flag flies next to a Turkey flag (6:47) as a sign of friendship. At a hotel pool, a coffee girl dressed in native garb pours guests Turkish coffee (7:17-7:42) as others watch a Turkish fashion show (7:47-8:21). Turkey is also famous for handmade rugs of wool dyed with vegetable materials (8:27-8:51). Copperware is also still hand-produced (8:53-9:16).

Yet the once impassable area was now, in the “air age”, another area from which  opposing forces could strike from (1:12). A decision is made to build a radar early warning line north of the Arctic circle and sprouting from Alaska (2:12). This line is the Distant Early Warning Line, aka the “Dew Line” (2:23). The decision as to who would build the project went to the US Department of Defense (2:52). The Secretary of Defensive gives the contract to the Western Electric Company (3:27), under US Air Force supervision. An international head quarters is established (3:34) and the Dew Line’s projected completion was in 32 months (3:49). One thousand employees are enlisted for the job (5:00). Working closely with the project, the Air Force creates an office within the building (5:11). In February, the planners take off to begin building the 3,000 mile long strip (5:54). Advanced construction crews arrive and begin setting up camps and radio connections (7:10). A large plane is required to deliver a tractor (7:21), yet an even larger tractor will have to be dropped by parachute (7:37). These will be utilized to carve ice strips for the Air Force’s C124 Globe Master to bring essential materials and by doing so, it would make history (8:20).  Back at the Bell Labs, electronic experimental work is conducted (9:34) and results are developed and assembled (9:41). Due to the massive order of supplies,  transportation would require east and west coast sea lifts (10:25). Canadian and American air crafts began, in total, carrying 30,00 tons of supplies (11:05).  As roadways are built (11:49), plans are carefully organized for cargo shipments to arrive at beach heads (12:22). West coast deliveries begin in June (12:38) and take about a month to complete. The rendezvous would be off Icy Cape in Alaska, 3,000 miles away (13:59).

Plane captains are attached to squadrons aboard the U.S. Navy's forward-deployed aircraft carriers and are responsible to ensure that every aircraft is mission-ready. Plane captains assigned to line divisions perform maintenance and daily checks on every aircraft. 

The film begins with a Navy or USMC F-80 Shooting Star making an attack run on a bridge in enemy territory. The plane then lands at an air base. The Plane Captain is responsible for the pilot's life (1:31), as well as the care for more than a half million dollars worth of Navy aircrafts. (The "flying dump truck" A-1 Skyraiders [actually the AD-2 model based on tail #122243 shown at 7:20] and F2H Banshees are shown lining up on the runway.)While the pilot's responsibility is the flight of the craft, the plane becomes the plane captain's responsibility once on the ground (2:55). This team of two is a part of the larger team of the squadron (3:07). Behind them, are the squadron facilities; the maintenance and repair shop, stores containing supplies, fuel, ammunition, etc (3:45). Taxiing the plane is also his responsibility and he must provide clear signals to the pilot (4:30). The majority of his job will entail preparation for the following day's missions (5:05). The first step will be to take the pilot's discrepancy report and, if there are any serious issues, ground the plane and correct them (5:13). This process will require more than refueling, it is vital to discover what else the plane may need (5:54). A comprehensive checklist will be utilized throughout the pre-flight inspection (6:04). Every component part must be inspected, especially landing gear, which take a heavy beating daily (6:36). Any problems recognized will be noted on the inspection form (7:52).

At :33 they are shown opening presents by the tree with mother and grandpa. At :55, it being the Cold War era, they open some kind of missile launcher toy. At 1:14 they receive bowties and at 1:19 a pair of cymbals. At 1:47 they get matching red pajamas. At 2:01 the boys' stockings are shown stuffed with gifts. At 2:19, it being the pre-Vietnam War era, a set of tommy guns and pistols are given out (these things fell out of favor around 1970). At 3:00 the boys play with a sort of skee-ball set by Mattel called Pop Za Ball. At 3:12 the new xylophone is given a test play. 

At 3:54 a holiday party (actually, looks like a birthday party) is thrown for the kids with Coca-cola. A large snowman pinata hangs in the rear. At 4:50 the snowman begins getting tortured with the traditional wooden bat, and at 5:19 mom finishes the job for the delighted children.

At 5:36 baby idles on a chair while at 5:48 the festivities continue with kids blowing on poppers. What appears to be a movie screen is visible in the background in some shots and at 6:54 you can briefly see a movie projector. Hamburgers and milk are served. 

At 7:43, another Xmas, probably a year later judging from little sister's growth. At 7:54 one of the boys examines an NFL official Baltimore Colts costume, while at 7:58 "TV Wiggle Blocks" and a stroller are seen near baby sister. A jack in the box is at 8:08, at 8:15 brother has a baking set. Other gifts include the Snagglepuss game and a farm playset. Dad takes a photo at 8:44. At 8:59 (as some viewers have commented) you can see a book with a fascist symbol, presumably William Shirer's best selling  "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich." At 9:27, older brother poses with his amazing Ideal Space Helmet.  This was a toy based on the Col. McCauley TV show "Men Into Space" which ran from 1959 to 1960. Also visible: Lincoln Logs, a Yogi the Bear playset, and at 9:46 a globe.

The newsreel begins with “1920-1923: Warren Harding” (00:30), recapping Senator Warren G. Harding’s road to the White House. Harding and his wife enjoy life in 1920 prior to the Republican Convention at the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago (00:57) where Harding is picked as a compromise candidate. Will H. Hays (01:11) oversees Harding’s successful campaign, and Harding heads to Capitol Hill in March 1921 (01:51). His cabinet includes Secretary of State Charles Evan Hughes, Post Master Will H. Hays, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace, Secretary of Navy Edwin Denby, and Secretary of War John W. Weeks. As the 28th President, Harding attends church with his wife at Calvary Baptist Church. Later, he greets sick or injured citizens (02:47). The segment wraps up with a visit with General Pershing at the War Army College (03:13), followed by a brief vacation that precedes Harding’s death. America mourns the late President Warren G. Harding (04:02). The next segment, “1922: Beaux Arts Ball” (04:17), shows women preparing for an annual costume ball, to be held on 16 February 1922. Dorothy Park Benjamin—wife of Enrico Caruso—and a fellow socialite work on decorations for the ball. In “1919: Charles Ponzi” (05:12), viewers see Ponzi at his Boston mansion with his mother and wife. Ponzi showcases his “business acumen” in a theatrical performance for a delighted audience, but the government soon reveals that he is nothing more than a mere swindler. The Ponzi Scheme is named in his honor. “1931: Personalities” (06:02) features Tomas Masaryk (06:12), just before his resignation as President of Czechoslovakia, and Edvard Benes, who would take his place in 1935; Mayor James M. Curley (06:31), mayor of Boston, ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b84f8f9a-73d9-491b-8b2a-9207e2feca38/a2b6acd9-ace3-4426-af15-24bdae4a8d2b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oL3TXcFVngciaBFGWiRtSy</video:player_loc><video:duration>740</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:54:11.864Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iyVKfCXfZsWcSGFUegQnry</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d8aaf18f-7dff-4ec6-b961-fabeac1b9840.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s FOOTBALL INSTRUCTIONAL FILM   HOW TO PLAY DEFENSE 60524</video:title><video:description>This 1940s football film presents DEFENSIVE FOOTBALL as it was seen in the leather helmet era. College teams are featured.

Narrator begins this way: As most players may not know the many facets of a football game, this film will break down techniques and terms such as a reverse running play, a spin or run (:33). There are various formations in defense, the first being the five man line (:54). For a stronger defense, the guard will move in (1:00) and for an even stronger one the center moves in (1:67). Defensive mistakes are costly (1:20). Here (1:30), the offensive formation end is baited into a trap. 
To prevent mistakes, the defense will call signals (2:12) as this center signals his teammates for a five man line with himself backing up the line (2:18). The play rolls out, and the ball carrier is ‘stopped cold’ (2:29).
A play in slow motion displays the end moving in, warding off his would be blockers and stopping the ball carrier (2:38). An example of a solid defensive play is depicted in which the ball carrier is slowed by the defensive end and the full back is able to complete the play (2:54). Protection for the kicker is vital as if he is blocked, the kick may cost the game (3:23). In a forward pass, an optimal offense is to build a wall around the passer (3:54). With good passing and recieving, a touchdown is easily completed (4:21). The defense in this play (4:42), shows viewers a perfect example of running by deceiving opponents with a change of pace and evasive maneuvers (4:52). A play showing  perfect ball handling is exemplified (5:20) and pays off in a touchdown (6:03). If a slip, or fumble occurs it will give the opposing team ample opportunity to retrieve the ball (6:16). Proficient deception tricks the defense into making a false move (6:24). Harvard players utilize deceptive spinners in which the player catches the ball and completely spins, running through the line (6:37). In another play, the mouse trap, the carrier gets through the lines gain...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8e4447a3-cae0-44ea-8824-09a08e5654ce/23d0ec89-187c-4ecf-b77b-3e6ef808cc1d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iyVKfCXfZsWcSGFUegQnry</video:player_loc><video:duration>542</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:55:24.248Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8JdkDxB8sW8kdbgMexiKZQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ec3f8518-9a63-4952-8326-9991f1471d8d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  FLEET RETURNS FROM WORLD WAR ONE   JOSEPHUS DANIELS  60444</video:title><video:description>This B&amp;W television episode of YESTERDAY’S NEWSREEL features eight segments of historic highlights. The first, U.S. Fleet Dividing (:28) opens with a view of the New York Hudson Bay harbor in June, 1919 as sailors return home from WWI (:37). The flagship USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) leads the way (:45) as other ships follow. Admiral William S. Sims, commander over all U.S. naval forces in Europe, emerges to join his family (1:05-1:17). Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels (1:20) agrees that the Navy be divided into three separate fleets on June 16, 1919. Admiral Albert Gleaves (1:29) commands the Asiatic, Admiral Hugh Rodman (1:34) commands the Pacific, and Admiral Henry Wilson (1:37) commands the Atlantic. Also shown is Commander Henry Mayo (1:45). The Navy sets sail (1:55-2:30) in peace as naval aircraft fill the sky (2:39). The second, Shall We Dance (2:52-3:47) features various dancers doing the very athletic Jitterbug in 1925. 
The third, Miracle of St. Paul’s (3:49) concerns St. Paul’s Cathedral. It opens with a view of it in London, June 25, 1930 (4:03). King George V and Queen Mary (4:23-4:58) attend its reopening after years of restoration. In 1940, during the London Blitz of WWII, an air raid warden (5:02) stands on its roof looking for flames, as bombed neighborhoods in London are on fire (5:06). But as the smoke clears, St. Paul’s still stands (5:23).  The fourth, Personalities of 1930 (5:37) opens with Cecil B. DeMille (5:44-6:13) getting ready to sail off in his yacht. Next shown is Irene Bordoni, a French actress (6:18) followed by British author W. Somerset Maugham (6:34-6:55), best known for his book Of Human Bondage. The fifth, Government Takes Count (6:57) talks about the 1920 census. Census takers go house to house (7:03-7:51). What will be known as an IBM 100 tabulator punch card machine is shown being used (7:52-8:06). The sixth, Aviation (8:08) shows Amelia Earhart (8:18), also known as Lady Lindy, on December 15, 1930 as she boards, buckles ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3e94d01f-a64c-4e78-b96f-bd7529b5699e/0d5559e4-13fe-4be7-b6f6-c188e2cee943-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8JdkDxB8sW8kdbgMexiKZQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>740</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:55:54.536Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4A5VxTXjXJPcpdCJ6dXyzK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1a71efb4-f764-4876-b794-2d92c8c7d38b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s STATE OF ARIZONA  TUCSON  PHOENIX  TOMBSTONE  TRAVELOGUE MOVIE  29414</video:title><video:description>Part of the Carl Dudley produced "Screen Book of Knowledge"  THIS LAND OF OURS ARIZONA will take viewers on a tour through Arizona in the late 1940s or early 1950s.. At this time it was the youngest state and rests in the south western sector of the country bordering the Republic of Mexico (:28). The fifth largest state consists of high mountains, plateaus and semi arid deserts (:58). Arizona has a dry climate (1:02). Before the United States had been discovered, Arizona was largely inhabited by Native Americans (1:17) and today their are more full blooded Navajos than in any other state (1:22). The capital of the state is Phoenix; once merely a stagecoach stop, yet now is one of the largest inland cities (1:54). Tucson is the largest city and one of it's most important commercial centers (2:03). This city is also home of the University of Arizona (2:08) and a few miles south is the United States and Mexico border (2:26) at Nogales. One of the state’s most attractive cities is Tombstone, although it is mostly a ghost town today (2:43). Arizona is ranked first among copper producing states; yielding almost two thirds of the country's supply (3:22). Near the mine at Bisbee is a giant smelter at Douglas which reduces ore into crude copper (3:36). The largest pine forests in the world exist in Arizona (3:57). The most valuable resource is water (4:15) and engineers have constructed some of the most impressive dams in the world here (4:23). The Coolidge dam is considered of the highest masonry type (4:26), and Roosevelt is of the highest wedge type (4:32). Considered the greatest engineering achievements of all time is the Boulder Dam (4:34). These dam’s supply water for irrigation for the state's year round fruit and vegetable crops (4:52). Arizona produces considerable amounts of sugar beets (5:10), winter head lettuce (5:16), cotton and dates (5:21). Due to large grazing lands, it has become one of the country's best contributors of livestock (5:33).

At least some of it was filmed by the Army Film Unit before January 17, 1943, as the SS Vestfold, which was destroyed by a German submarine on that date, is shown leaving the arrival port at 6:43 in the film. The theme song “Hold Your Hats On (Toodle-Oodle-OO)” was copyrighted December 31, 1942 by Sonny Miller. 

TROOPSHIP shows a converted ocean liner drafted into Royal Navy service transporting soldiers to the front in North Africa.  Told from the perspective of a soldier, the film contains wonderful footage shot on board ship during an eight week sea journey.  Throughout the voyage, a convoy of warships escorts the ocean liner.

Army men board a British troopship (:36) and settle in as one writes a letter home (the only date we can see is March), becoming the voice-over. The ship departs the dock in the English Channel (1:23) and catches up to an unnamed convoy (1:40). There is a QF 3.7” AA British anti-aircraft gun aboard (1:54) and lookouts with heavy machine guns scan the skies (2:00-2:04). Bells signal a practice drill for evacuating the ship (2:05-2:24). There’s a group of females aboard (2:10), members of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC). The men exercise on-deck (2:27) as do the women (2:39) in a separate area. To pass time, the men enjoy a swimming pool constructed out of timber (2:53), stretch out on deck (3:09), do marching drills (3:27), practice the motions of using heavy machine guns (3:52), and have a boxing tournament (4:06).  The seas are rough (4:27) from heavy rain, giving the men the opportunity to wash their clothing in puddles (4:43) and hang it from makeshift clotheslines (5:03). Dressed in full army uniform, they parade on deck the day before reaching their destination, which has taken two months (5:24-5:50). In celebration, everybody participated in a farewell dance with an accompanying band, making the few women aboard dres...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bd1afa25-c158-416c-aab9-8338d6dcdcba/12e942c4-a48d-48c4-90bf-381872766765-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pmoznvit4SDdL73RDRYHTY</video:player_loc><video:duration>475</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T09:58:28.703Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bvZmfgpppPJgWeQ7izThSQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b18ea208-eb89-4ca6-b197-f5891efdfedb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE " AMERICAN FRONTIER "  NORTH DAKOTA OIL FIELDS  53874</video:title><video:description>Produced by the American Petroleum Institute in 1953, "American Frontier" was directed by Willard Van Dyke. In 1953, the American Petroleum Institute released American Frontier produced and directed by Willard Van Dyke.  The movie portrays petroleum exploration in North Dakota and its impact on the citizens, businesses, and fledgling industry within the state. 

The narrator opens with a brief introduction, “The wind blows west from the Great Lakes, the wind sings like a wild bird across the northern state.  Coming at last to this place, this sweep of America.”  Then we meet Nils Halverson, a school teacher who, along with his father, are wheat farmers in a predominantly Norwegian Williams County.   Halverson, while day dreaming during school, remarks, “There is a tense feeling in the air.  A sense of waiting as though some great door is about to swing open.”  Halverson takes the audience back to “how it all began.”  First, oilmen showed up and talked the farmers into signing leases.    After a considerable amount of acreage is leased  and the company completes seismic work, the drilling begins. Halverson, having visited the well of his neighbors, sits in his chair at home and wonders about how he, his wife, and his father would spend the money if they became suddenly wealthy.  He wonders about his community.  The scene shifts and soon the audience is privy to a community meeting that opens with the statement, “Alright maybe it will all come to nothing, maybe it’s just another false alarm.  All I’m saying is it’s important that we plan a little just in case.” (16:13)  “Plan for what?”   There will be a “couple thousand new comers overnight . . . “It will be the frontier all over again.”  Halverson cuts in, “What is this oil? What happens when they find it? A wild scramble, boom, and bust?  What happens?  I don’t know, I’m just asking.  I want to know.” (16:48)  Everyone involved in, with, and around the petroleum industry, since its beginnings in Pennsylvania in ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/552b4c6d-b40c-47a7-9e7e-1b44cffb14ec/c5812860-3782-46fd-9fc3-f8c0fb2d0765-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bvZmfgpppPJgWeQ7izThSQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1669</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T10:02:45.904Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ok9J3PmhGwJadDubUur2GE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8e07b2af-4bc6-4144-a796-aef9163ab01d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s ATLANTIC CITY NEW JERSEY  PROMOTIONAL FILM  " ON THE BOARDWALK "79624</video:title><video:description>Made in an era when Atlantic City was one of America's pre-eminent tourist destinations, "ON THE BOARDWALK" was created and presented by the Convention Bureau of Atlantic City (:10). As the film begins, tourists arrive by Eastern Airlines airplane, train, and by Twin Coach bus. Atlantic City was once no more than a fishing village, yet today is one of the most prominent vacation destinations (:48) and boasted a famed boardwalk lined with seven miles of white sands (:58). Travelers from every state, and some countries, arrived through airlines (1:32) and easily accessible highways (1:39). A varied sort of hotels existed from the more luxurious on the boardwalk (1:59) to the more reasonably priced off (2:25). A wide range of activities exists throughout the city regardless of where one stayed (2:41). The Atlantic City Beach Patrol is shown and it’s well trained lifeguards are attuned to sun bathers as well as swimmers (3:14). The city was considered a hot spot for newlyweds and honeymooners (3:37). It suited the youth as well as older generations (4:05). The boardwalk was designed to have exciting shops lining one side and stunning view of the ocean along the other (5:03). The best way to describe the unique attraction was as a massive cruise deck (5:09).  Besides ocean swimming, pools existed as an alternative (5:27). Activities, whether they be strenuous or not were available for all ages (6:15). The nightlife was full of entertainment in forms of restaurants, nightclubs and amusement parks (6:32). At the Convention Center, the Ice Capades show is rehearsed and will travel to cities all over the coast (7:04). Bicycling down the boardwalk (7:35) and horseback riding along the shores are offered to vacationers. In addition, the large public sailing fleet of the inlet enabled visitors to enjoy cruises (8:07). For a more thrilling ride, speedboats were available (8:26).

This is a story about a trip made by the American navy to Hawaii. Honolulu bound Navy men and ships sail over the sparkling Pacific to America’s island playground. At mark 1:00, the ships are seen on maneuvers. At mark 1:35, Hawaii sunny skies, waving palms and all that makes tropical paradise is seen. On these isles of eternal sunshine is Pearl Harbor, a naval base of primary importance. This is seen at mark 1:55. Indispensable to the nation as a fortified base for the navy’s ships on the sea and in the air.  At mark 2:20, a hovercraft is seen. At mark 2:35, the sailor men are seen in their uniforms all getting onboard. Hello Hawaii, hello. The sailor men are seen at mark 2:58 alighting. At smoking Kilauea, the sailor men pay tribute to the Goddess Pele, mother of eternal fire. This is seen at mark 3:05. At mark 3:30, they are sightseeing a volcanic eruption. All roads lead to the world famous beach as seen at mark 3:55. At mark 4:00, the sailor men are in a bus on their way to the beach. Every day is Navy day at Waikiki as seen at mark 4:35. The sailors are seen all swimming in the beach. Asides from the beach, there are also other thrills at Waikiki as seen at mark 5:10. The sailor men are seen at mark 5:27 surfing. Riding a surf board looks easy but try and do it. Outrigger canoes are popular with more timid souls. This is seen at mark 6:05. They are seen riding in the canoe. At mark 6:35, a spill in the surf is seen. Shorty McGinnis of the submarine flotilla, never happy unless someone was dancing as seen at mark 6:45. He gave up farming to see a real Hawaiian hula. This Hawaiian hula is seen at mark 7:00. The Hawaiian ladies are seen dancing, if only the boys back at the farm could see this. At mark 7:30, Shorty is seen enjoying the moment with the ladies.

The requirements for a more efficient fighter craft was met with the F-18 Hornet (:45). It was the result of intensive design efforts by the Navy, Marine Corps and McDonnell Douglas company (1:05). The Hornet is an attack craft for close air support missions (1:35) and was to replace the F4 Phantom and A-7 Corsair (1:40). At the time it was the most tested and thoroughly engineered aircraft. It’s design concepts were confirmed using scale models and wind tunnels (2:01). These tests provided data to program a simulator which would be used to develop it’s weapon systems (2:12). During the design phase, test pilots analyzed the aircraft's functions and aerodynamic capabilities (2:15). The features were reviewed by teams of Navy and Marine Corps aviators (2:30). In 1977, McDonnell Douglas began cutting the metal for the Hornet's fuselage and wings (3:01). By June of 1978, the center and aft sections of the fuselage were delivered to St. Louis (3:36). In late August, the 16,000 pound thrust General Electric engines were installed (4:11). The Hornet's launch commenced on September 13, 1978 (4:39). George S. Graff, the President of McDonnell Aircraft Company, welcomed guests to the launching (4:45). The Chief of Staff for the Marine Corps, says of the plane that it will be flexible in completing air to air and air to ground missions (5:07). The featured speaker of the ceremony was the Chief of Naval Operations (5:37). The Hornet made it’s first flight from St. Louis on November 18, 1978. This flight proved the aircraft’s outstanding stability and agility as a fighter and attack plane (7:37). The Hornet would become the forerunner for other crafts of it’s kind to follow (7:59).

The Northrop YF-17 (nicknamed "Cobra") aircraft mentioned in the film was a prototype lightweight fighter aircraft designed for the United States Air F...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/319131c2-8b4f-41ff-881f-bf98d2490b05/6b1536c4-1325-43ee-afa7-93b695821f6e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/781fFFxj5Qdv3ebUwjL2BT</video:player_loc><video:duration>518</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T10:07:41.709Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1mdsFANoQgwVPUTG2kBSRh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/98a2b591-6e02-400a-9aaa-552bea6b5682.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OREGON COUNTRY  SEATTLE  / PORTLAND / TACOMA  OREGON TRAIL  1920s EDUCATIONAL FILM  57504</video:title><video:description>The ‘Oregon Country’ is a silent film presented by Eastman Classroom Films (:11), and was one of a series of educational shorts made by that company for classroom use in the 1920s. It opens with shots of automobiles driving through forests, a waterfall (:34) and leads into the trails to Oregon (:47). Footage is shown of travelers in wagons drawn by oxen on the trail. On a map, a trail is shown beginning in St. Louis through Kansas City, Omaha, and the Missouri River (1:10) and this is the Lewis and Clarke route of 1805. The crossing into the platte is shown (1:52) as men on horseback and driving carriages wade through a river (1:55). In a large group, the travelers are camped for the night (2:25) and then shown attacked by Native Americans (2:38).Carriages traverse through muddy and snowy terrain along the way (2:59). Cattle and sheep were able to graze on the great plains near the Rockies (3:21). Back on the map, the Wyoming oil fields and where to find gold, silver, copper and lead are pointed out (3:49). Also drawn attention to; the Columbia Plateau (4:11), Columbia and Snake Rivers (4:16), Shoshone Hills (4:34) and Arrow Rock Damn (4:42). This damn is shown in film (4:56), with water flowing through and then crop fields (5:02).The map directs viewers to the Blue Mountain Gap (5:18), and picture shows a bridge crossing over it (5:23). The Bitter Root Pass is depicted on the map (5:33) and on film (5:38) as well. A tractor works the dry farming fields (6:16).  Both of the routes on the map collide at the Dalles (6:50) and after the lower Columbia River is pictured (6:53). Fish are jumping upstream and a fisherman catches some in the rapids (7:15). A train runs alongside the river (7:38) and the winding Columbia highway follows (7:52). In Hood River County (8:11) mountains ride in the background and a town is settled in the foreground (8:35). The city of Portland is next on the map (9:01) and in footage (9:05).

TRAINING FILM 29654</video:title><video:description>The film, the US Army CODE OF THE FIGHTING MAN begins with the Code of Conduct and the knowledge that the Korean War brought forth the need to establish a set of codes for men in combat and men captured in combat (:12). The film was produced as an outgrowth of the Korean War experience, in which POWs were subjected by the North Koreans to a variety of torture, psychological warfare, and other gruesome tools in their efforts to exploit U.S. prisoners of war into making public statements that appeared favorable to the communist war effort. For the American prisoners brutal torture, lack of food, absence of medical aid, and subhuman treatment became a daily way of life and many of them found that their training had not prepared them for this new battlefield. On August 7, 1954, the United States Secretary of Secretary directed that a committee be formed to recommend a suitable approach for conducting a comprehensive study of the problems related to the entire Korean War POW experience. The work of that committee resulted in the May 17, 1955 appointment of the Defense Advisory Committee on Prisoners of War, headed by Carter L. Burgess, assistant secretary of defense for Manpower and Personnel. The committee took heed of the ongoing divisive debate, noting that while all services had regulations governing the conduct of prisoners of war, "the United States armed forces have never had a clearly defined code of conduct applicable to American prisoners after capture."

In the beginning scene, troops had been ordered to retreat, yet not all would be able to (3:43). Company 8 of the 64th Infantry (4:28) is one of these groups. The company Commander is left to decide whether to hold position, penetrate deeper and conduct guerrilla operations or retreat into friendly areas (5:08). A patrol group reported the enemy directly to their rear (5:39) and the Commander makes the decision to remain and fight (5:58). This decision requires factoring in the responsibility of the mission...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/233cc413-e455-447c-9c6b-85dee8df3bcc/f09733ec-83a6-4d1b-80d0-a047d8607289-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5mnD6FcfYMi8YQpEyjpGbQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1550</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T10:11:37.981Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1BmbHraxqJ39fFuJmZaQcp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/09ee2198-7577-408a-8fc3-bad5c6346acc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII PRODUCED FRIENDLY NEIGHBOR FILM     THIS IS AMERICA: VIVA MEXICO 60624</video:title><video:description>This black and white film VIVA MEXICO! is part of RKO Radio Pictures “This is America” series. These films were produced in hopes of keeping Mexico and other "south of the border" nations strongly allied with the USA in its WWII fight with the Axis. (Some background on this: during World War I Germany asked Mexico for its support in the event the USA entered the conflict, causing consternation in America.) 

Viva Mexico! was produced between June 1, 1942 and September 2, 1945 since it states that Manuel Avila Camacho is the current President of Mexico, features his declaration of war in 1942, and implies WWII is still ongoing at the end. It was produced by Frederic Ullman, Jr., with music supervised by violinist Herman Fuchs. The film opens with highlights of Mexico City, including the Metropolitan Cathedral (:33), the Federal Government Palace (:44), the Palace of Fine Arts (:48), the Hotel Reforma (:55), the Banco de Londres Y Mexico (:59), and the Benito Juarez Monument (1:17). People congregate in Chapultepec Park (1:24). Cuernavaca mansions dot the hills (1:36-1:42). Silver is mined from Real de Monte, as are gold, copper, and tin in the area (1:51-2:09). Oil is also produced (2:10-2:16). Mexico bridges the United States with Central America (2:21). There are three distinct topographies: the Sierra Madre Mountains, the lowlands, and the plateaus (2:40). Mexico is dominated by 2,000 miles of mountains (3:04-3:18), creating dramatic waterfalls (3:20-3:37). The vast desert areas hinder agriculture (3:42-4:17). Mexico dates centuries back, as exemplified by the ruins of the ancient Mayan and Aztec temples (4:48-5:02). Spain conquerors built churches in the 1500s, such as at Cholula (5:05-5:29) and the convent La Merced (5:29-5:41). Remains survive of the aqueduct at Morelia, built in 1785 (5:44-5:51). Cordoba (6:00-6:17) was founded in 1618. A painting of Benito Juarez, President of Mexico from 1857-1852 (6:19), is followed by a portrait of General Diaz (6:27), ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/04ef78a2-acd7-4d61-b2e2-1dd7a6846d4d/9faf807b-53b1-46b4-a07f-6c91687c7e0d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1BmbHraxqJ39fFuJmZaQcp</video:player_loc><video:duration>1010</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T10:13:28.618Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fE5ETnYUAK857WSut8a4ku</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/eb3e7cc9-e966-43cf-9c97-2f025dac7ac5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MAY 1934 U.S. NAVY FLEET REVIEW   NEW YORK CITY   USS INDIANAPOLIS  26994</video:title><video:description>This silent home movie was made by Purcell Wood, the owner of the Gillette Camera Store on Park Avenue in New York City, and rented out to customers who wanted to entertain guests for the evening. The film shows the events of May 31, 1934 as the U.S. Navy's Atlantic Fleet steamed into New York harbor. Among the vessels there that day was the USS Indianapolis (CA-35), which came into New York with President Franklin D. Roosevelt on board. Other ships there that day included USS Overton (DD-239/APD–23), a Clemson-class destroyer (seen at :51 near the United States Lines / White Star passenger pier). At 2:10, the Indianapolis is seen flying the Presidential flag as it comes up the Hudson River. At 2:50, the mighty battleship USS Pennsylvania, flagship of the fleet, cruises past the Empire State Building. At 3:40, the Indianapolis salutes the Pennsylvania with gun fire before docking. At 5:40, large crowds are seen gathering on the shoreline to observe the fleet's arrival, and at 6:30 Marines and sailors parade down 5th Avenue. At 7:50 the aircraft carriers USS Lexington and USS Saratoga are seen docked at 50th Street pier. The filmmaker cruised up the Hudson filming the various ships anchored in the river. Cruisers are seen at 11:50 although it's unclear to us which ones they are precisely (if you can ID them please do so in the comments). USS Portland is almost certainly one of them. Other ships that are likely shown include USS Chicago (CA-29), USS Salt Lake City (CA-25), USS Dickerson (DD-157) and USS Chester (CA-27).

Utah means “top of the mountain” and is bordered by five states: Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado (:34). This state was originally under water, as evidenced by the wave-cut terraces (:45). The largest of what remains is The Great Salt Lake (1:02), so salty a person can float in it. Utah’s Mormon roots date to July of 1847 when Brigham Young declared “This is the Place” for his pioneers to settle, memorialized in a statue (1:16). The capital is Salt Lake City (1:28), which has multiple statues as reminders of its Mormon background, including a large one of Brigham Young, head of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (1:42). The capital building at State Street (1:50) has a dome of Utah copper and walls of Utah granite and marble. The first Mormon Temple (2:05) has many interesting architectural elements, including a golden figure of Moroni, the angel from the Book of Mormon, who sits atop the East Tower (2:19). The Mormon Tabernacle (2:27), finished in 1867, has amazing acoustics. Also on Temple Square is a monument to seagulls, who appeared and devoured crickets in the first year of farming in 1848 (2:48).  
Another large city is Ogden, named after Canadian explorer Peter Skene Ogden (3:05) and serves as a shipping center for cattle (3:14). Utah also has agriculture, which relies on irrigation systems (3:31-3:42). People hand-pick peaches and vegetables (3:44-4:00). Tractors harvest fields of wheat (4:00) as cattle graze on alfalfa (4:11). Dairy is a prominent industry (4:12-4:39), as are sheep (4:39-4:53). Utah also cans its produce (4:55). Salt is gathered by harvesters at the shore of the Great Salt Lake and sent for processing, such as at the Royal Crystal Salt Company (5:07-5:27). Steel is also a manufactured here, with the largest plant in Geneva, where pig iron, steel plates, and str...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/698fbb54-e439-4a15-a70c-35968cb24ce0/0bad9db0-a0fe-44d2-9479-46fe41cd6f23-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/e33kFpiMMpoe3ppfGDxeQ5</video:player_loc><video:duration>536</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T10:17:25.878Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/m9jJ6BkFMaUrzqn82UgZ9m</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a2f96d6d-9b1c-425b-a152-edad4a827fba.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>A IS FOR ATOM   CIVIL DEFENSE  ATOMIC ENERGY &amp; ATOMIC POWER  56934</video:title><video:description>Made by veteran animated John Sutherland for the General Electric Company, A IS FOR ATOM presents fundamentals of atomic structure, and looks at the potential peaceful uses of the atom. It dates to 1953. The short explains what an atom is, how nuclear energy is released from certain kinds of atoms, the peacetime uses of nuclear power, and the by-products of nuclear fission. It is Sutherland's most-decorated film, having won numerous honors at film festivals. In 1964, A is for Atom was re-released by General Electric and John Sutherland Studios slightly modernized the film. 

Film summary: Atoms are the building blocks of everything. In an atom, the nucleus is the center (1:52) with electrons orbiting around it (2:05). The force holding an atom together is electrical (2:19). The negatively charged electrons are attracted by the positively charged protons. Particles in the nucleus without a charge are called neutrons (2:28). There’s also a binding force holding it all together. Not all atoms are alike due to the more than 90 basic elements in a periodic chart of the atom (2:58). Elements are defined by the number of protons in their nucleus (3:16-3:36). For example, hydrogen only has one proton, oxygen has 8, gold has 79, and uranium has 92. Within each element, atoms can have the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. Added together, these are its atomic weight (3:47-4:04). These different members of the same element or atom family are called isotopes. Some elements, such as tin, have many isotopes, while aluminum only has one. Some elements are stable whereas others are radioactive, such as radium (4:32). These throw off protons and neutrons, changing into a different element, until they become stable again (4:38), known as natural transmutation. Artificial transmutation is when scientists purposely cause this (5:11-5:32). This process takes place in a particle accelerator, also known as an atom smasher (5:43).

At :36, French artillery manned by Americans fires fusillades at the German positions. At 1:02, ammunition is passed to the gun crews. At 1:19, views of No Man's Land are seen with artillery firing across trenches. At 1:47, the artillery is seen landing in No Man's Land and throwing up huge chunks of earth. At 2:20, Marines make an assault supported by French tanks. At 3:30, men go "over the top" and make an assault towards enemy lines. The film ends with a German soldier surrendering and a title card at 3:30 concluding that the battle was won. 

The Battle of Cantigny, fought May 28, 1918  was the first major American battle and offensive of World War I. The U.S. 1st Division, the most experienced of the five American divisions then in France and in reserve for the French Army near the village of Cantigny, was selected for the attack. The objective of the attack was both to reduce a small salient made by the German Army in the front lines but also to instill confidence among the French and British allies in the ability of the inexperienced American Expeditionary Force (AEF).

The film’s focal point will be the US and world trade (1:21), beginning with steel and oil. The question is posed of foreign trade, does it do us any good ? (2:32). The train shown -- pulled by a steam engine -- is carrying 10 million tons and will travel to twenty-five different countries (2:54). A passenger on another train vocalizes his disapproval of foreign trade. The film shows workers abroad and their arguments for it (4:21). A foreign mechanic needs new equipment, yet this new equipment will not be a gift as it must be paid for (5:02). The only way for countries to pay for the needed goods was to sell their own goods back. US workers feared these machines and goods would compete with their own products (6:08). An economist with experience in the subject, explains these arguments had occurred before (6:33). For ten years after the first World War, there existed a great need for American products across the globe (6:56). Short sighted thinking ensued and some believed all that was necessary was to send products to the foreign ports and all would be well (7:08). Unfortunately, all transfers were conducted on credit and needed to be paid for (7:25). The only way for those countries to pay their debts was through sale of their own product back (7:28). 
Another issue were the imposed tariffs which made it difficult for countries to send goods and most had to ship gold instead (7:40). This resulted with the US holding more than 2\3 of the world's gold supply and confusion over what to do with it (8:02). The foreign trade then dried up and only added to the depression (8:29). Paul Hoffman speaks, informing viewers while foreign trade was not the only cause it was an important one (8:48). There was also the concern that countries like South America purchasing largely machinery, would eventually not need to buy machinery or anything f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f55c69d0-36ef-4889-9d5f-2e855bf6dd08/5b0eda33-c361-4e11-be1c-b5a72daa3a28-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wiidv2kt9vKJJvRbqPZ6HS</video:player_loc><video:duration>1161</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T10:23:59.665Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pinowU9VZYUCwt5shVffsY</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/209941b7-3d7d-46e2-8c71-5cc661e51531.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL   BARNSTORMERS   CHARLES LINDBERGH  1920s AVIATION 58964</video:title><video:description>One of a series of television programs made by Ziv Productions from the General Newsreel Library, this episode of Yesterday's Newsreel begins with “Wings of Commerce” (1:31). In which we see planes like those which had seen service in World War I by the Lafayette Escadrille sold by the government as surplus as daredevils and barnstormers use them for stunts.  Across the Atlantic, Europe's most enterprising air men launch travel between London and Paris (1:45). In open cockpits, passengers are lifted across the channel as planes are first attempted for use as travel machines (1:53). Soon cockpits will be covered for comfort of passengers (2:16). Larger planes designed to carry more passengers cut costs per trip by 1921 (2:22) and later were able to carry baggage as well (2:36). On May 2nd, 1923; in San Diego a historical trans-continental flight begins (2:53). The greatest contribution to flight will be made by 25 year old Charles Lindbergh in May of 1927 (3:01) and the second is completed on June 7th (3:29). After flying for nearly 4,000 miles, Clarence Chamberlin with passenger Charles Levine reached Berlin (3:42).   On the Great Lakes in 1929, a plane carrying fifty passengers takes off and begins trend of flying giants (4:04).  In 1929, a plane equipped with 12 liquid cooled Curtiss engines and accommodating 100 passengers is in operation (4:14).The China Clipper will spread wings on March 17th, 1937, and will make regularly scheduled luxury flights to China (4:46).With jet propulsion becoming popular, Canadian airlines spread from Montreal to NY in one hour (5:12). 
The next chapter is titled “1929 Mrs. Atlas?” and in Austria, a woman demonstrates to lay down on one's stomach if someone is caught in the street (5:43).

TRUMAN   33rd PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES   21534</video:title><video:description>THE TRUMAN YEARS is a film from a series on Presidential Administrations that chronicles President Harry S. Truman and his administration. Harry S. Truman (May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972) was an American statesman who served as the 33rd President of the United States (1945–1953), taking the office upon the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. A World War I veteran, he is known for implementing the Marshall Plan, the establishment of the Truman Doctrine and NATO against Soviet and Chinese communism, and for intervening in the Korean War. He is the only world leader to have used nuclear weapons in war. He desegregated the U.S. Armed Forces, supported a newly independent Israel, and was a founder of the United Nations.

The film begins in 1945, as 12 million Americans were fighting in WW2 (:51). Victory began favoring the Allies in  spring, 1945 (:53). On April 6th, FDR was pronounced dead and Truman is sworn in (1:09). Truman entered politics as Senator of Missouri in 1934 (1:28) and later became FDR’s running mate (1:42).Less than a month after he became President, General Dwight Eisenhower took Germany’s surrender (1:52). The fall of Hitler was celebrated on May 7th and the first atom bomb was dropped in New Mexico (1:55). Images from Alamogordo show scientists watching the bomb detonate, while wearing protective glasses. In Potsdam, Truman received reports of the bomb deciding to use it to force surrender of Japan (2:32).On August 6th, Enola Gay takes off for Japan after the proposal for surrender was rejected (2:45). The first atom bomb is dropped on Hiroshima (3:16) and three days later on Nagasaki (3:16). The Japanese surrender on August 10th and it is made official in September on the USS Missouri (3:30). The film turns to domestic affairs (3:55). In August of 1946, Truman signs into law an act creating the atomic energy commission (4:06). It was established for the search of use of atomic energy in health, agriculture, and industry (4:18).

Intended to promote the important role the fleet could play in Cold War conflicts (such as the recently-stalemated Korean War), the films showcase an era of growth and expansion. As new, nuclear powered submarines and angled deck aircraft carriers take to the seas, helicopters, missiles, rockets and jet fighters take to the skies.

This “Command of the Seas” film concentrates on the Atlantic Fleet and CINCLANT. Since the days of the Constitution, the American Navy had never suffered defeat (:56). The British have remained staunch allies of the Navy, fighting side by side for two World Wars (1:24). Joint training operations are conducted with other allies, the French and Italians to ensure cohesive teamwork (1:53). The US Navy's efficient productive capacity provides military and economic aide to their oversea allies (2:36). These nations and other Atlantic nations have joined the Naval Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in unison to prevent aggression (2:55).At friendly ports around the world civilian visitors climb aboard ships (3:30). A battleship in Naples, drops anchor while paying the Sixth Fleet a visit (4:01). 
A priest from Florence is invited aboard to provide services for the men (4:36). The Eiffel tower is shown as other navy men go ashore in Paris (4:55), and are also welcomed into Denmark (5:36).
An American ambassador in Lisbon, visits one of the large ships (7:22) and the ships Marine Guard stands inspection (7:27). There is an official salute as he departs (8:05). Ranking Portuguese officer's pay a visit as well (8:19). To contrast and visualize the progress of the power of Navy, a battleship is pictured next to an old time sail boat (8:31). Target practice is drawn for crew training (9:17). In the Mediterranean and Atlantic, the Sixth Fleet conducts training maneuvers with other friendly nations to standardize all operations (9:52).T...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a4069d2c-7700-429d-b11a-fd41bdd570bb/c337354f-8a9b-4c02-a032-5513a82067bd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mfLvnbzUH9jaS31gChs3Ra</video:player_loc><video:duration>932</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T10:27:14.976Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gL3MpVSWesyHmcnw3M4gKg</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4f24a7c3-4ca4-46d7-aadf-ff871e8aeae5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1943 WWII DRAFTEE INDUCTION SERVICES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA TUCSON 60394</video:title><video:description>Made in 1943, this silent home movie shows the induction services for draftees held at the University of Arizona in Tucson during WWII. It was one of several films made to document selectees, who include (based on the names shown) many hispanic Americans and perhaps some native Americans. Exactly why these movies were shot is unclear, but what they do underscore is the level of sacrifice made by citizens around the USA during the war.

The film begins with a title card stating that "induction services were held on August 24, 1943 for 27 selectees from Board #1" before listing their names. According to a Tucson Daily Citizen article found on-line from September 1, 1943, "selective service Inductees were Steve Charles Merino, Floyd De- King, Jr., Fred John Lesinski, Raman Monies. David Shelby Baker, Humberto M. Soto, Gilbert A. Ward. George A. Burns, jr., Vincent Mailionado, Domingo Garcia Valencia, Frank Moreno Santa Cruz, Jose Maria Qulroz, and C. Silvas Urvina, all of Tucson, and Isaac G. Garcia from Eloy."  At 3:40, Board #2 selectees are shown, and so on through the film -- with the last group shown from October 11, 1943 at 13:17. 

It's unknown how many of the men shown in these images ended up going overseas during WWII, or how many of them managed to return to their families. A little research -- typing random names into Google -- revealed that the majority of them seem to have served and survived the war. It would be an interesting project for someone to research all the names shown in this unique film.

The footage was shot in Van Nuys, California -- then home of the Lockheed Missiles Division. A full size "dummy" missile is shown being loaded onto a hydraulic carrier. At 6:00 the missile is rotated to vertical. In this position it could be lowered into a submarine silo, and that may very well be the function of this piece of equipment. Alternatively, it might be a launching system, although that seems less likely.  At 9:00, a ring is secured to the nose of the missile and locked into place.

The Ryan XV-5 Vertifan was a jet-powered V/STOL experimental aircraft in the 1960s. The United States Army (US Army) commissioned the Ryan VZ-11-RY (re-designated XV-5A in 1962) in 1961, along with the Lockheed VZ-10 Hummingbird (re-designated XV-4 in 1962). 

The XV-5 was powered by two 2,658 lbf (11.8 kN) thrust General Electric J85-GE-5 turbojets. General Electric X353-5 Lift-fans in the wings and a smaller fan in the nose, powered by engine exhaust gas, were used for Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL). The 62.5 in (1.59 m) diameter lift fan in each wing had a hinged cover on the upper wing surface which was opened for VTOL. The 36 in (0.91 m) nose fan provided adequate pitch control but produced adverse handling characteristics. The fans provided vertical lift of approximately 16,000 lbf (71.2 kN), nearly three times the thrust of the engines as turbojets.

A set of louvered vanes underneath each of the wing fans could vector the thrust fore and aft and provided yaw control. The engine power setting determined the lift from the fans, as fan RPM was determined by the exhaust output from the J85 engines and the load on the fan. Roll control was by differential actuation of the wing-fan exit louvers.

Aircraft performance was subsonic, with delta wings superficially similar to those on the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. The Vertifan had an unusual intake position above the two-seat side-by-side seating cockpit, and a T-tail.

The XV-5A was finished in Army green and the XV-5B (not shown in this film -- but the "B" was the "A" model after it was rebuilt following a crash) was painted in white NASA colors. The fans did not generate as much thrust as was hoped, and the vertical-horizontal flight transition was difficult and abrupt. The XV-5 would be one of the last manned aircraft designed and built by Ryan, which mainly manufactured drones after the mid 1960s.

This film shows the equipment, techniques, and materials used to make black and white photographic prints. It limits the method of printing to the contact printing process. A contact print is made by placing a film negative directly on a piece of light-sensitive photo paper and making an exposure. A dedicated contact printer (light box type) was used to make all of the prints in the film. The common practice of enlarging prints was not discussed. The prints in the film were made using Kodak "AZO" paper. No longer manufactured, this was a paper specifically designed for contact printing.

The film focuses on the fundamentals of photography (:17). Equally as important as taking the time and care to shoot the photograph, is the process in which it will be developed (:41). The darkroom should be entirely dark (:48) and safe light should be checked to ensure proper filter (1:02). Yellow lights are used for low sensitivity and orange for high. Clean rooms and trays prevent spotting and contamination (1:22). Materials should be kept within reach (1:29) and water supply should be tested for temperature (1:40). 
Three trays will be required; one for the developer, another for the rinse or short stop and third for the fixing bath (2:10). Solutions prepared with one part stock solution and two parts water must be readily available (2:32). The solution's temperature should be just above or below 68 degrees (3:04). Also, fixing bath and short stop must be prepared. For an acid short stop, 1.5 oz of acetic water is mixed with 32 oz of water (3:42). There are varying types of printing machines, one includes a lamp house to enclose bulbs (4:19) and another includes individual switches for bulbs (4:32). A pressure platen will be used for pressing paper and negative together (4:47). Orange or Ruby tinted pil...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4700ec5b-62fd-4d6b-a4c7-e85c347d3092/a52a20e2-8f2a-4aba-bfa9-9f6dfae781ee-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9LwYsVjq6W6wc68TyuTbM1</video:player_loc><video:duration>1116</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T10:45:35.026Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/n5CwjJCciMdGts75xEr33n</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bd79ddfe-0577-4e12-be43-1e23a2be4546.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THEORY OF FRESNEL LENS OPTICAL LANDING SYSTEM  AIRCRAFT CARRIER  MARK 6 27834</video:title><video:description>This film depicts the theory and operations of the Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System for use on aircraft carriers. It provides a visual guide path for pilots as they approach landing and gives the glide slope, cut and wave off information to pilots (:30). The system utilizes an array of signal lights on the port side of an angled deck (:49). It’s vertical center unit is the indicator assembly and is divided into five cells (:56). The “meatball” appears above the line when planes are too high as they approach, low when they are too low, and red when they are dangerously low (1:32). On each side of the indicator are wave off lights (1:42). The indicator can be titled from side to side as well as up, forward and back (1:55). The film will start with a look at just what the Fresnel Lens is (2:22).  
First depicted is a regular lens (2:30) and followed by the Fresnel which has each segment of the lens moved down (2:52). For this film's purpose only the center of the lens is utilized (3:13). Each cell on the indicator system contains these lenses and all are yellow, save for the bottom which is red (3:33). The five lens cells are coordinated so as to project a beam that is 1 1\2 degrees high and 40 degrees wide (4:32). As the indicator moves up and down, the glide slope moves the same (4:49). Pilots will adjust their flight paths so as to see the ‘roger meatball’ indicating proper path (6:05). Without a stabilizer, in rough weather, the glide slope would be all over the place (6:22). However, the ships stabilizing element will sense the ship's movement and it’s computer will compensate for it (6:41). There are two modes of standard operation, the first being the point stabilization (6:59). An example ensues of how this operation works (7:38). The center of the glide slope beam intersects at a point of 2,500 feet aft the carrier (8:54). The stable element on the ship will measure the pitch and correct each time (9:37). There may exist slight movement, in this mode as ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/aab56519-93e8-4fdd-bb26-91f2d1273779/c20e2188-bb64-4000-9ac0-0adee61455ff-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/n5CwjJCciMdGts75xEr33n</video:player_loc><video:duration>1058</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T10:46:24.945Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5VuHJdxK58CQ5Af3KFkPxg</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e949631a-a383-4131-abcb-4232d33895c2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FLYING THE BALL  AIRCRAFT CARRIER FRESNEL LENS OPTICAL LANDING SYSTEM MARK 6 60634</video:title><video:description>Dating to 1968,  this U.S. Navy training film shows the operation of the Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System Mark 6, Mod 1. Shot aboard the USS Independence, this U.S. Navy film gives an orientation for the men who operated the Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System, Mark 6.  As opposed to conventional films from this era that give pilots guidance about how to land on the carrier deck, this film provides an overview of the circuitry and physical system components that make up the OLS.  An optical landing system (OLS) (nicknamed "meatball" or simply, "Ball") is used to give glidepath information to pilots in the terminal phase of landing on an aircraft carrier.] From the beginning of aircraft landing on ships in the 1920s to the introduction of OLSs, pilots relied solely on their visual perception of the landing area and the aid of the Landing Signal Officer (LSO in the U.S. Navy, or "batsman" in the Commonwealth navies). LSOs used colored flags, cloth paddles and lighted wands. The OLS was developed after World War II and was deployed on U.S. Navy carriers from 1955. In its developed form, the OLS consists of a horizontal row of green lights, used as a reference, and a column of vertical lights. The vertical lights signal whether the aircraft is too high, too low, or at the correct altitude as the pilot descends the glide slope towards the carrier's deck. Other lights give various commands and can be used to require the pilot to abort the landing and "go around." The OLS remains under control of the LSO, who can also communicate with the pilot via radio.  Later systems kept the same basic function of the mirror landing aid, but upgraded components and functionality. The concave mirror, source light combination was replaced with a series of fresnel lenses. The Mk 6 Mod 3 FLOLS was tested in 1970 and had not changed much, except for when ship’s heave was taken into account with an Inertial Stabilization system. These systems are still in wide use on runways at US Nava...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/27dcac66-64b5-43c8-96f5-74857116da79/b954f1df-ae5b-49fa-8b22-514b7e6ecf86-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5VuHJdxK58CQ5Af3KFkPxg</video:player_loc><video:duration>704</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T10:46:31.505Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5phXZmurnCd1T1BKSFuCDa</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0d3062fc-5eae-4928-894c-cbedf8f65983.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  BABE RUTH  1933 CHICAGO WORLD'S FAIR 60434</video:title><video:description>One of the episodes of "Yesterday's Newsreels" -- an early 1950s TV show made from the General Newsreel collection, features seven segments of historic highlights. The first segment “America’s Idol” (:29) looks at Babe Ruth, at the plate in 1914 and two years later pitching for Boston (:38-1:01). In Chicago, he bats for War Bonds (1:06). Ruth is featured with his daughter on his farm in Sudbury, Massachusetts. He chops wood to keep in shape as an outfielder in 1920 for the New York Yankees (1:15-2:04). At Spring Training in St. Petersburg Florida, Babe warms up at the plate before shaking hands with Yankees’ manager Miller Huggins (2:15). A shot of Yankee Stadium (12:11) goes on to show Babe and Lou Gehrig bringing in the runs (2:28-2:48). Babe next golfs in 1926 with famed golfer Walter Hagen (2:54). In 1927, he stars in Babe Ruth Comes Home, getting makeup applied by co-star Anna Nielsen (3:07). In 1930, he plays billiards with middle-weight champion Mickey Walker for charity (3:35). Ever humble, Babe visits crippled children at Knickerbocker Hospital (4:11). The second segment “Chicago Plays Host to World” (5:13) highlights the 1933 World’s Fair. The airship USS Macon provides a bird’s eye view (5:18) of the Amos and Andy sky ride (5:36). A replica of Fort Dearborn is one of the attractions (5:53), as is the unusual Travel and Transport building (6:09). Millions walked down the Avenue of Flags (6:15).
The third segment features “Personalities” (6:22). It opens in 1922 with dancer Isadora Duncan and her Russian husband Sergei Yesenin (6:30). Henry Cantwell Wallace is sworn in as President Harding’s Secretary of Agriculture in 1921 (6:42). In 1926, Hollywood’s Hobart Bosworth, Marguerite De La Motte, and Dorothy McHale dine for charity (7:00). The fourth segment “Prisoners Riot!” (7:25) covers the August 25, 1934 prison riots at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. State Troopers arrive to assist guards (7:53).

The footage extends from the mid-1960s to the early-1970s, presented in internal segments while instrumental music plays. A cowgirl on a galloping white horse (:18) segues into a 1970 Corvette Convertible (:38) driving through the desert on Route 88, the Apache Trail, and past the Superstition Mountains (:44).  The fun moves to a speed boat (:58) pulling a water skier. The camera shifts its view to the Red Rock State Park (1:23) where a cowboy on horseback leads cattle (1:40) up a slope.  On the famous movie location Old Tucson, the sheriff kicks two men out of the saloon, resulting in a shootout in which the good guy wins (1:54-2:43). The shift is to the Sky Harbor Municipal Airport in Phoenix, where an American Airlines Astrojet B727 taxis, which came on the scene in 1973 (2:43-2:56). Back in the car, we drive up close to Gammage Auditorium (3:16) in Tempe, one of the Frank Lloyd Wright sites. A woman rides a Honda C50 Step-Thru Super Cub (3:52) past The Heard Museum in Phoenix (3:56). Arizona is also known for golfing (4:14-4:34) following by outdoor evening dining. 
A flock of sheep struggle downhill through the red sand to reach water (5:27-6:02), driven by cowboys on horseback. Riders stop to eat as pancakes sizzle on a campfire grill and homemade biscuits brown up in a cast iron pot (6:04-6:25). A group fishes out on the lake (6:29) while swimmers enjoy the pool, including women dressed in bikini styles popular in 1964 (6:35-7:59). A man and a woman bird watch (8:00) as children saddle up for a horseback ride through the Grand Canyon (8:12-9:12). A bird’s eye view of the Hoover Dam shown how great the span is over the Colorado River. On the border between Arizona and Nevada, Hoover Dam provides powers to both states plus California (9:14-9:29). Water skiers make a splash (9:33) as an artist sits painting the scenery (9:47).

This musical featured music by Isaac Van Grove, choreography by Joan Woodruff, and a script by Ben Aronin. 

This 1952 color film shows the stage production of Adam to Atom as it was presented at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry (:21), interspersed with clips of actual items discussed in the musical. It highlights a history of man beginning with creating fire, inventing tools, using labor to build pyramids, as well as Grecian philosophers and Roman engineers all pushing forward the progress of man. The invention of the Gutenberg press in 1440 led to high-speed printers (8:34) for books and newspapers. Likewise, the steam engine invented in 1765 by James Watt led to powering steam trains (11:49) and the advent of the Industrial Revolution.  The American Society of Civil Engineers was founded in 1852 in Reston, Virginia (15:29). The next step highlighted is the invention of the phonograph by Thomas Edison in 1877 (16:13), one of a thousand patents he owned. The internal combustion engine in 1884 by Edward Butler (19:02) with his idea for four-cylinders set the stage for vehicles available to everyone and not just the rich. Edison’s Pearl Street power station in Manhattan began generating electricity on September 4, 1882 (22:17), forever changing how we live and work as electric lights replaced gaslights and candlelight. Entertainment was also changed. Nickelodeons (22:57) opened in 1905. These small theatres showing projected motion pictures led way to large movie theatres (23:27). All of these advancements relied on generations of new engineers, represented by a schematic (23:32) and a slide rule (23:36), who continue to build on the past for the future. Farming has come a long way from a primitive plow behind an ox (24:08) to tractors (24:16). On the seas, hand-powered watercraft (24:30) have advanced to tug boats that can push 15,000 ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b635a6ac-f92b-45e6-ae21-28d6ebcfaedf/368ca5f0-31c8-4852-b9ef-4f3e19b66a1a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ov13Wsw32oFAjCMqzAdiHi</video:player_loc><video:duration>1773</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T10:52:12.728Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/v4cEjmKVp2HWaZ6rCfaiZy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0625894f-f127-451d-9bf1-55ec0474edd7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ALUMINUM FINISHES  1950s ALCOA PRODUCT DESIGN PROMOTIONAL FILM  51034</video:title><video:description>This beautiful color film produced for Alcoa Process Development Laboratories is about aluminum finishes. The anodic processes are trademarked Alumalite. It may be from the 1960s, based on the psychedelic screenshots and music. Giant rollers splash aluminum across a metal sheet as it moves through the line (2:10-2:29). Beakers in a test lab brew colors (3:09), measured by a spectrophotometer (3:31). Also measured is the thickness of coatings (3:37). Data is gathered, including the painted aluminum superstructures of the SS United States luxury passenger liner (4:03) and the color of anodized aluminum tags tracking lobsters (4:11). The Alcoa building roof is covered in test pieces of aluminum and its alloys (4:22) to see how it weathers the elements. A long line of aluminum is shown (4:45). It can be press formed into any design (5:08), rolled into many patterns (5:12), perforated or expanded (5:16), extruded to almost any contour (5:19), or brushed to a fine texture (5:24). These methods are shown applied to many different items (5:26-6:29). Aluminum can be etched (6:40), sandblasted (6:45), buffed (6:52), or bright dipped (6:54). Various items are shown with these finishes (6:56-7:21). Aluminum textures can be highly reflective (7:29-8:12).
Aluminum has an advantage over other metals as it can be anodized (8:18), which protects the aluminum without changing the original surface appearance that’s been applied. This process creates a durable aluminum oxide structure integral to the metal surface itself (8:30-8:58). Hard coating is created using a different mixture that causes the oxide cells to form even thicker walls (9:04). Another unique quality of aluminum is when anodized, each cell of its oxide coating has a tiny pore that accepts dyes and mineral pigments (9:21-9:32). In addition to coloring by anodizing, color may be applied on plain or anodized aluminum (10:00). It can be roller coated (10:02), silk screened with paints and inks (10:05), or stopped off fo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/eb4b7045-fde0-4aef-b8ee-ddc7d8b51cf6/ccc716fe-b096-4726-bb6f-d83bc9cc79f6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/v4cEjmKVp2HWaZ6rCfaiZy</video:player_loc><video:duration>1122</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T10:54:34.725Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3VkRZPLz161qEtdYjNZfPP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0db173ee-8d98-4f70-bfd1-ec3e9a9dd9a3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MINUTEMAN ICBM MISSILE DEPLOYMENT IN WESTERN UNITED STATES   BOEING PROMOTIONAL MOVIE  21974</video:title><video:description>“Minuteman in the West” is presented by the Boeing Company and opens with cowboys in Cheyenne, Wyoming (:26). This city has been dubbed the cowboy capital of the West and was founded in 1867 as a railroad terminus (1:01). The town now boasts a population of 50,000 as well as a downtown business district (1:23), a modern shopping center (1:29) and is the headquarters for extensive sheep and cattle interests (1:33). Cheyenne is also considered the political heart of the state (1:50). The annual Frontier Day celebrates the city's cultural beginings and is held in the last week of July (2:00). Highlights include the rodeo and annual parade (2:30).  In 1885, Lincoln established Fort DA Russel adjacent to the city (2:55) and is one of the largest military posts in the US. The name was later changed to Francis E Warren in honor of the Civil War Veteran, first Governor and US Senator (3:19). Later it was transferred from military to air force jurisdiction (3:28). Many important names have appeared on the roster throughout history such as General Mark W Clark (4:11). This base has been chosen as the head quarters of the world's largest combat installation, the 200 Minuteman Missle Wing 5 (4:15). Construction began at Wing 5 in October of 1962 and was completed June 12th, 1964 (4:49). It is spread over three states; Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado (5:05) and covers 8,000 square miles. Activities and materials included evacuation of earth and rock (5:17), railroad cars carrying concrete, enough steel to make 60,000 automobiles (5:26), and about 2,200 miles of communication cables (5:30). Utilizing a system test program in Seattle, Boeing tested every part of the Minuteman system early on (5:46). In Utah, the missel’s assembly method's are verified and set up (6:11).

It depicts scenes from a few of the Erpi Instructional sound films which were designed to break barriers in human learning (:31). Educators hoped to increase the quality of education in utilization of these films as occurrences that would normally be impossible to see, such as the growth of a plant's root, are visible using time lapse (1:33). Slow motion pictures enabled rapid action to be easily understood (1:48). It could be difficult for all students to see classroom or laboratory experiments from every position  yet film made it possible and cleared confusion (2:05). The combination of sound and sight created experiences in which students received a better,  lasting understanding of vocabulary (2:31).The sounds of nerve impulses that made muscles contract could even be amplified (3:10).Audible yet rarely recognized sounds such as shy bird calls are made distinct (3:22). Animated photography has the ability to create lasting impressions and understanding of normally difficult concepts (3:49). Dangerous topics such as bomb explosions were safely depicted in the classroom on film (4:35).The movement of the sun towards a star at a rate of twelve miles per second are shown as limitations in space and time were overcome (4:49).Studies showed that 37.4% of students with a lower IQ improved their learning comprehension and those with a higher improved by 31.6% from the sound films included in lesson plans (5:25). While it may be impossible for every child to visit a farm, the films portrayed farm animal life without having to leave the room (6:57).During intermediate schooling pupils were taught and shown geography from even the most remote locations (8:21). The film “Water Power” explains how the energy of the Niagara Falls is transformed into usable electric energy (10:06).

At that time, the bulk of electricity was provided via two underwater (sub-marine) cables. The Southern Electricity board decided to install a third cable (1:32) and hired Balfour, Beatty &amp; Co., Limited. To make this continuous cable for a 3-mile sub-marine crossing, it was manufactured in manageable drum lengths (2:07-2:19) and joined together into a coil on Lois, a German ship refitted for this task (2:33).  Before jointing could begin, a drum of cable had to be mounted on the foredeck. The cable was pulled through the joint bay and coiled onto the turntable with the trailing end resting in the bay. The leading end of a second cable was then fed in (2:45-3:11). The ends are exposed, cut, joined together, and secured with a sleeve (3:08-3:23). Next, the conductors are exposed and joined, using a special brazed joint (3:24-4:24), which was then examined by portable x-ray equipment (4:29). The cores are then reinsulated with layers of paper tape for flexibility (4:50-5:06), followed by metalized paper tape screens (5:17) and the oil ducts replaced (5:23). The sleeve is then lead-soldered shut (5:30). Vacuum pumps remove any trapped air (5:49). Six-millimeter diameter armored protection wires are now wrapped (6:04) around the joint and welded (6:17). Next, 30 feet of whipped tar sisal yarn (6:25) is applied over it.  The jointed cable is now coiled onto the turntable (6:37) and the procedure repeated until nearly 5,000 meters of cable is prepared. The 30-ton drums of cable (6:54) are now loaded onto the Lois (7:17-7:50).To begin laying the cable, tugs pull the Lois (8:49) offshore to Lepe where the leading end of the cable was hauled to shore with a winch (10:14). Barrels attached to the cable (10:40-11:00) acted as buoyancy floats a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3d8f69bf-a7ce-4bce-bc68-f220f29c33cc/be235e87-a6e2-45db-99a7-8e690a4b7138-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8AUbbiRKUSstjyMmTZkvEU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1191</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T11:01:49.539Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/p8wYEVYGPraNK3UV92gSdt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c8e96463-7992-44e5-9a5e-f8b6a5caa983.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION MOVIE  BRISTOL BEAUFIGHTER, WHITLEY BOMBER, PBY CATALINA  58864</video:title><video:description>One of a series of films prepared to train pilots, airplane spotters and anti-aircraft gun crews, this Aircraft Identification film is an official War Department Training Film (:07)  produced by The Signal Corps in collaboration with the Cheif of Air Corps (:13). The film was intended to provide familiarity with aircraft types so as to avoid friendly fire incidents, and combines animation with shots of models and sometimes real footage of aircraft. The final film in the reel was made by the Walt Disney Company during the war, identifying the PBY Catalina.

The film identifies a few varying aircraft types beginning with the Bristol Beaufighter (:32). This craft is a British night fighter and long range pursuit plane (:41). It was designed to take place of all purpose planes such as the Bristol Blenheim (:34), which was supplemented by the Beaufighter and Beaufort torpedo carrying bomber. All three, though varying types had similar wing and tail shape (1:10). From the head on view shows a mid wing monoplane with twin radial engines and the fuselage takes on a pear shaped look (1:41). The short nose is distinctive and it's engines are set low in relation to cockpit (2:01). The Beaufighter is shown above the German version and low flying dive bomber, Junkers Ju 88 (2:19). The differences included the thicker nose and larger tail of the Beaufighter (2:52), and the different fuselage's of each (3:26). The pilot of the British craft would sit above and on line with the engines. The American Douglas A-20 is pictured above the Beaufort,Beaufighter and Ju 88 (3:58). Another method of identification of the Beaufighter is the shape of its vertical fin (5:44). The next aircraft to be identified is the Whitley Bomber (6:33), which was a large twin engined monoplane and was used for reconnaissance. From the bottom view, the rounded rectangular tail surface and projecting rear turret are visible (7:48). In flight it appeared to be constantly nosing down (7:55).

The film opens with tourists receiving leis around their necks. Under a banyan tree on Waikiki, people watch a band and hula dancer being filmed for the TV show “Hawaii Calls” (1:02-1:30). Others dance at the Royal Hawaiian with Diamond Head as their background (1:36). Horseback riders descend to the floor of Haleakala (house of the sun), a dormant volcano on Maui on whose sides the rare silversword grows (3:12-4:35). On the Big Island, Kilavea is an active volcano, from which steam pits still bubble (5:23) and lava runs down the mountains (5:56). 
Preparations for a luau include gathering seaweed and collecting opihi, which are tiny oysters (6:55); spear fishing squid (7:31); roasting a pig (7:35); opening coconuts (7:40); and gathering taro to make poi (7:42). Palm leaves are placed on the ground to make a table, upon which the food is spread (8:05). Ukuleles (9:49) and a hula dancer entertain. A complete hula is danced by a young woman to the rhythm of chants and drums (10:35-11:31). Activities include swimming in long waterfalls (11:26). Ferns (11:36) and orchids (12:09) abound. Island industries include sugarcane, which involves setting fire to the field to clear the underbrush before cutting (13:25-13:42). Pineapple is also cultivated by hand (14:02). Ranchers, called paniolo, brand cattle (14:13). Fish are caught by a hukilau, a community fishing party (15:16).Hawaii is made up of many cultures, including the Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Filipinos (17:10).  A man from Samoa entertains by twirling a long razor-sharp blade (17:39). The film ends on the water (18:27-20:00). People on a catamaran enjoy the splash of the waves. A group of long canoes are paddled in a race against multiple surfers.

The film opens with the commemoration of the last Skyraider (01:17), aka the Pedigree Pulverizer, as it is retired from Navy service. The Skyraider’s story begins in 1944. At the time, the Douglas Dauntless SBD (01:55) was the Navy’s premier attack bomber aircraft. However, the Navy needed a new plane, prompting the birth of the Skyraider. Douglas engineers sketch the new attack bomber dubbed Skyraider (02:48), winning the bid. In March 1945, Douglas test flies the Skyraider prototype (03:13). The Skyraider is a great dive bomber attack plane (03:46) and, for the next 12 years, Douglas produces seven versions and 28 subversions of the plane (03:46). In January 1948, the USS Coral Sea (04:12) sets out on its maiden voyage, and the Skyraider (04:30) is the first launch and recovery of the ship’s deck. The film shows Skyraiders flying in formation (04:56). On 3 July 1950, Skyraiders attack Korea from the USS Valley Forge (05:18). Skyraider squadrons are stationed on 15 U.S. attack carriers—the film provides footage of Skyraiders taking off from various carriers (05:50). The Skyraider’s longevity is better than most attack planes, and it proves extremely versatile. Some Skyraiders can adapt to be 4-passenger aircraft, ambulance planes, cargo planes, or anti-submarine search craft (06:53). Their firepower can consist of torpedoes, rockets, canons, and bombs. The Skyraider is the first plane to demonstrate the ability to carry armament weight greater than its own structural weight (07:30). The Skyraider’s last combat mission is in Vietnam. After the war, it comes home in style—aboard the USS Coral Sea passing the Golden Gate Bridge (08:00), more than 20 years after leaving on the maiden voyage of the Coral Sea.

The LSD (00:26) features a massive hollow space called the well (00:43), which is where all the activity takes place. The ship also has a half deck with a fully equipped machine shop. Ships can be brought onto the dock and vehicles can be tied down for secure transport. Two 35-ton cranes (01:50) are used for repair jobs, hoisting LSDPs and landing craft into the well. Smaller traveling cranes move freight back and forth from under the super structure (02:33). The stern gate prevents flooding, and the well’s gate is lowered (03:02) for various loading operations. The ballast control officer (03:31) initiates flooding ballast tanks to sink the well to whatever depth is necessary for operations. Because of the value of the LSD, it is a prized target for Japanese bombers. Thus, it is armed (04:48) with a 5-inch 38 cal. DP gun, two 40 mm quad AA guns, six 20 mm AA batteries that line the well—and ten more strategically placed throughout the rest of the ship—and two 40 mm twin AA guns at the end of the ship. One of the LSD’s primary functions is to transport small landing craft from one location to another (05:22). The LSD’s well can house three LCMs (landing craft mechanized) abreast and two more behind. The LSD can transport fully loaded landing craft (06:31), like a loaded LCT (landing craft tank) to within miles of a beachhead. Once within reach of the beachhead, the well is flooded so the LCTs can be moved out and sent into action (08:20). The LSD can also function as a floating dry dock (09:00); the well is flooded and large craft are brought in (09:38)—such as an LCI—for repairs before being sent back into action. The LSD can be loaded with tanks or trucks while at sea (10:45). With the LSD’s well flooded to 2 feet, a LCD can move to mouth of well and ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3541407c-8806-42cb-8a8d-a3c130f5fd53/9c9aa5b2-6eba-4e7a-858b-850cce1f585e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7zq911xMzJRRGjmGZbF9PV</video:player_loc><video:duration>1128</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T11:13:16.451Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nnrHps9XbgA6SU2Xd59Kf1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/89cadeca-4816-498f-a040-0fb657b19b51.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1920s-30s JAPAN SILENT TRAVELOGUE MOVIE  GEISHA GIRLS 60204b</video:title><video:description>Made by Keystone, this charming travelogue film shows pre-WWII Japan and was likely filmed in the 1920s or early 30s. the film begins with images of a caucasian girl in Japanese dress and carrying a parasol before showing at 1:02, Japanese women doing their make-up.

The film begins with remarks by astronaut and diver Scott Carpenter about Capt. George Bond, a U.S. Navy researcher who laid the groundwork for saturation diving with helium. Bond, who died in 1983, was an American physician who was known as a leader in the field of undersea and hyperbaric medicine and the "Father of Saturation Diving". The film then shows some of the steps taken in the wake of Bond's pioneering research in the deep sea. At 3:17 an open ocean dive is attempted off of Oahu. The year is 1971 and preparations are underway for a deep ocean dive in an underwater habitat using Underwater Breathing Apparatus. The rest of the film follows the progress of the experiment and the effects of the helium gas.  The underwater platform used (seen at 6:45) was called the “Aegir” and was owned and operated by Makai Range, Inc. of Honolulu, Hawaii. AEGIR was designed to operate at depths of up to 180 meters.

At 9:30, two tame porpoises that are also part of the team are seen.  At 10:54, underwater open-ocean salvage techniques are practiced. At 12:27 the experiment begins with the steel hatch of the Aegir sealed and the compression begun with helium. At 14:20 compression is complete and the crew rests. At 15:00 the Aegir is towed out to sea so that it can be lowered to depth. At 17:00, the Aegir submerges. At 17:25, a freak accident causes the communication cable to be severed, and the Aegir is returned to the surface. At 22;30 the Aegir, now repaired, finally submerges to a depth of 200 feet, the ocean floor. At 23:20 divers are seen aboard the vessel in their Mark 10 diving suits. At 23:40 they leave the chamber and enter the open sea. At 25:30 divers return to the Aegir exhausted. 

Also featured in the film are interviews with LCDR Hugh Beatty, Ken Conda, Ben Cagle, James L.A. Majendie, Robert Helmriech, Ph.D., and Glen Egstrom, Ph.D.  The film was written by Dr. Edward Hard Jr., ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ace27069-ea95-4fcd-91ce-640851bf67f7/6faa695a-850a-4635-b890-1be20539be2e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nmdq9DF7LXjJNL8fR23vnz</video:player_loc><video:duration>1695</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T11:19:17.517Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fk4zDt85upSVC18TQM7Vcr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2741aec8-61db-4410-bb7b-3033e5678abb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SILENT TRAVELOGUE 1930s JAPAN  &amp; JAPANESE INVASION OF CHINA / SHANGHAI  58364</video:title><video:description>This 16mm silent movie BITS OF JAPAN dates to the 1920s/30s with the end section showing the Japanese invasion of China definitely belonging to the 30s.

The progress of aviation in the years between the first version in the 1930s was so much as to make new versions necessary every decade or so. This film takes place at LAX airport in Los Angeles, with passengers boarding a National Airlines flight from LA to Miami (:48). Stewardesses are loading into a van as they have arisen early at the Huntley House Hotel to prepare for the flight (1:04). This plane, a National Airlines (2:27) DC-10 tail #N64NA (and nicknamed "Geraldine" by the airline), has seating for 255 passengers and requires eight stewardesses. Father and son receive boarding passes and check luggage (3:41). Meanwhile, the captain is discussing the weather, load information, routes and altitudes with his first officer and flight engineer (3:56). 
As the boy is wondering just where his baggage is heading, it is being loaded into the plane (4:29). Although mechanics will maintain and fix all equipment, the captain makes his own personal checks to ensure nothing has been missed (4:49).On board, the stewardesses make their checks of equipment such as pillows, etc (5:08). In the cockpit, parking brakes and oxygen masks are also checked (5:25). As passengers begin to board and take their seats, the fasten seat belt light flicks on (6:05). Engines are kicking on, the plane is preparing for take off and doors are armed and locked (6:32). Flight staff is then to explain emergency equipment and procedures such as the oxygen mask (6:53).After having been cleared for departure, and then taking off, the pilot explains the route to the passengers (8:35). The flight will head through El Paso, Austin, Houston and then exit the Texas coast heading over the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi Delta region and fly into the coast of Florida, landing in Miami.While in the air, the staff will remain in contact with ground stations which will report back on nearby aircraft and we...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bf2d6830-61bc-42c4-96d8-9342dc22721c/e7f34d2c-ad41-4bec-b662-933b0fbf13ec-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pBehpz29icydvK1KWUCFfm</video:player_loc><video:duration>882</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T11:23:46.228Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pxckJANDZVMCKA6B1CBj9A</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1f6f1eba-ba6b-4f2e-8522-6fa7fd38a24a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1949 NATIONAL RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION PROMOTIONAL FILM HERITAGE OF HOSPITALITY 60384</video:title><video:description>Created by the National Restaurant Association AMERICA'S HERITAGE OF HOSPITALITY was released in October, 1949 to advance the restaurant industry and recruit new employees to work within it. The theme of the film is that the American way of life is exemplified by its restaurant industry and the bountiful blessings that the nation enjoys on its tables from "sea to shining sea". 

The film begins with re-creations of historic moments in America's restaurant industry dating back as far as the Wayside Inn of 1683 (2:54) before showing the modern restaurant industry with the "greatest variety of restaurants the world has ever known". At 3:20 New York City is seen with the Rockefeller Center (3:40) and its cabs (3:48). At 3:58 a diner is seen, and at 4:01 a "White Castle" type hamburger restaurant. At 4:13, food is seen loaded onto an airplane. At 4:30, downtown Chicago is seen with Michigan Blvd and Lakeshore Drive. Various Chicago restaurants are seen, their various names obscured (apparently out of fairness to the owners) so their identity is hard to say. At 5:40 a Greyhound bus zips by on its way to Kansas City with its grain silos and soda grills (6:15). At 6:21 a sign for a hot dog stand the "Red Dawg" is seen. At 6:50 a Santa Fe train zips by on its way to the Rocky Mountains. A cowboy breakfast is seen prepared at 7:20. At 7:55 a cable car in San Francisco is seen and the "Top of the Mark", the Mark Hopkins Hotel, is seen. At 8:43 the famous Hollywood and Vine intersection is seen, and the Chinese Theater. At 9:00 a cafeteria, and Los Angeles with its outdoor eating. Scenes seem to include the pool at the Ambassador Hotel, and a salad served at 9:53. At 10:00, the film moves to New Orleans where Canal Street is shown. At 11:50, a meat storage locker is shown, while at 12:00 carrots and lettuce are examined in bulk at the "back of the house" in an industrial kitchen. At 13:00, dish washers are seen in use and food is prepared in bulk.

Featured in the film (although not mentioned by brand name) are IBM mainframe computers including the IBM 026 key card punch (seen at 15:59). 

In the film, five well-dressed executives sit in an office discussing whether purchasing an EDP will provide enough benefits to offset the cost (1:52), such as tracking and analyzing customer orders (5:26). They continue their discussion at a restaurant, where they enjoy a meal and cigarettes (6:26). A company using computers is shown. The magnetic tapes (7:40) are exchanged, programming circuits (7:43) installed, and high-speed printers (7:46) spit out information on fan-folded paper. Discussion about using computers to cut inventory costs in half moves to the gym (9:04) where the men ride stationary bicycles (9:35) and rowing machines (9:48). They discuss a company, represented by a woman typing into a perforated tape machine, which produces punch cards (10:28-11:05). They now receive massages and shave in the locker room (12:00). The discussion continues on a United Airlines flight (12:45). The customer now being discussed regarding inventory management is a chain of shoe stores. Women try on shoes as we see boxes and boxes of shoe inventory. The EDP solution was to assign each box a computer card (13:07-14:22). A stewardess checks on the men (14:44). Back in the office (14:49), one of the men gets a shoeshine while a secretary hands out food and drinks. They discuss an auto parts store (15:17) who has purchased a computer (15:56) to handle orders from auto repair shops. A Gulf pole sign (16:30) is seen as the parts are delivered. The men continue their discussion at the elevators (19:19) as an attractive woman joins them (19:34).

The production of atomic energy begins deep in the core of a nuclear reactor where atoms break each other in a chain reaction, known as fusion (3:29-3:47). The result is energy that can generate electricity, such as at Calder Hall, England (3:58); the Ural Mountains, Russia (4:03); and U.S. shipping ports (4:09). Atomic fuel can extend a ship’s stay at sea to up to a year, as used by a Soviet icebreaker (4:04). The first nuclear-powered U.S. merchant ship, the NS Savannah, is launched (4:31) in the late 1950s. A room full of knobs and dials represent the complexity of running a reactor (4:51-5:18). The International Reactor School teaches students (5:20-5:40). India and Canada jointly build a nuclear reactor at Trombay (5:58). The process of creating radioisotopes is shown (6:05-7:00) to create useful energy from radioactive materials. Highly radioactive isotopes are stored in heavy metal containers (7:01) and handled using master-slave manipulators (7:25-7:46). Radioisotopes can be used to rearrange a material’s structure, measure the thickness of material, and trace materials in plants (8:02-8:18). They can be shipped, such as shown on a Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) plane (8:53).
The use of tracer isotopes is shown in agriculture spraying methods (9:03-10:54). Their use in India has eradicated the screw-worm fly, a pest that killed sheep and cattle. Male flies subjected to radiation become sterile and are released (11:19-12:21). 
Radioisotopes were used to change the heredity genes of plants, studied in gamma fields (12:49-13:43). Shown are peanuts, tomatoes, grapes, and wheat. To study isotopes for manufacturing, the Isotope School in Howell, England (14:20) show new applications, such as measuring liquid levels in closed steel tanks (14:41). X-ray machines can examine welds and the erosion of brick molten metal furnace w...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8faa625e-1622-4bcf-9bc2-31245775f388/38ef59cb-bde0-4bf8-adb5-008528ffbd40-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iJWPZW91fNECSkgy9G4nZS</video:player_loc><video:duration>1729</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T11:32:11.217Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eG2M22SExFdo7u4t1xEUMA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1baea112-8096-499f-81d4-f8b6b3af62b7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ROME ITALY   FASCIST / MUSSOLINI ERA  CASTLE FILM TRAVELOGUE  MOS 84104</video:title><video:description>This 1930s silent travelogue released by Castle Films shows many of the principle monuments of Rome, along with some of the new edifices built under Mussolini. At :37 is the River Tiber with Emperor Hadrian's Tomb visible at :54. The Capitol is seen at 1:19, and Hadrian's statue at 1:30. At 1:43 the Forum ruins are shown and the Colosseum is seen in the distance at 2:00. At 2:10 the Arch of Titus is seen. The Colosseum is seen at 2:30. At 2:50 a huge group of tourists is seen in its floor. At 3:11 the new Mussolini Forum is seen at the Farnesia. This was a vast athletic complex now known Foro Italico. It was built between 1928 and 1938 as the Foro Mussolini (literally Mussolini's Forum) under the design of Enrico Del Debbio and, later, Luigi Moretti. Inspired by the Roman forums of the imperial age, its design is lauded as a preeminent example of Italian Fascist architecture instituted by Mussolini. The purpose of the prestigious project was to get the Olympic Games of 1944 to be organized by fascist Italy and held in Rome. Of course those games never occurred. At 3:35 a ceremony with thousands of athletes is seen on the forum grounds with Mussolini in attendance. 

At 4:00 St. Peter's basilica is shown and Pope Pius XI is seen briefly at 4:55. At 5;23 St. Johns, the Cathedral of Rome is shown. At 5:52 the Italian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is seen with its famous fountain. At 6:44, Mussolini is shown speaking at the Piazza Venezia. At 7:12 St. Paul's Church is shown. The Trevi Fountain is seen at 8:00 and the Miniature Pyramid of Caio Cestio at 8:30. The Pyramid of Cestius is an ancient pyramid near the Porta San Paolo and the Protestant Cemetery. It was built as a tomb for Gaius Cestius, a member of the Epulones religious corporation. It stands at a fork between two ancient roads, the Via Ostiensis and another road that ran west to the Tiber along the approximate line of the modern Via della Marmorata. Due to its incorporation into the city's fortifications, i...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6edda5e2-3443-4497-afcb-0f93129e94c4/d2f16473-8779-4ce4-beff-a9991e8509b1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eG2M22SExFdo7u4t1xEUMA</video:player_loc><video:duration>812</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T11:33:52.522Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hkRCNPvKLKX75pSLyC7vNb</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/208d63c5-799f-443c-b299-68af6c4dc88d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII CATHEDRAL FILMS  CHRISTIAN FAITH &amp; POWER OF PRAYER  FILM  32104</video:title><video:description>In 1939, Episcopal Reverend James K. Friedrich moved to Hollywood to found Cathedral Films, Inc. Friedrich advocated film as a medium of Christian Education and ministry. In 1943 Cathedral Films became a tax-exempt nonprofit corporation, and it remained a leader in the production and distribution of religious educational films, filmstrips and recordings across denominations for the next 30-plus years, with many films receiving national and international recognition. This film WE TOO RECEIVE is one of the company's earliest, as it debuted in 1944. In this WWII era movie a downed American pilot is rescued by a Christian convert in New Guinea. Due to a series of powerful co-incidences brought about by God's intervention, and the power of prayer by the missing pilot's family, the man is saved. The film ends with a rousing rendition by the natives of "Onward Christian Soldier."

Cathedral Films was a great success but by the late 1970s, when rising costs began to affect the religious media industry's production abilities, Cathedral Films' Trustees and Directors proposed to turn itself and its assets over to The Episcopal Church, so that the Church could continue Cathedral's film ministry and ongoing media outreach. That agreement was formalized in 1981. The Archives of the Episcopal Church became the official repository for Cathedral Films in 1999 (visit https://www.episcopalarchives.org/cathedral-films-inc to learn more).

With the advent of rocket launches such as Polaris A-1 (1:04-1:15) from nuclear submarines, new oceanographic methods were needed for the Arctic Ocean.  The Sea-Ice Forecasting Program supported Thule Air Base in Greenland (3:17) and early warning sites (3:23). Nuclear Skate-class submarines such as the Nautilus, Sargo, and Sea Dragon needed to prevent damage when surfacing through ice (4:26). The Naval Oceanographic Office (Navoceano) gathered data from various above and below sources for its Forecasting Center (5:23). These included a DC3 airplane (5:46), a GB5 icebreaker ship (6:41), nuclear submarines, the ARLIS II manned drifting ice station (7:06), experimental portable automatic weather stations (7:35), and joint weather satellite projects with the US Weather Bureau and the Canadian government (8:00). The data was received on high-speed teleprinters (8:45). In 1964, data collection was extended to the Antarctic Ocean to support Operation Deep Freeze, the Navy’s logistic support for the scientific probe at Antarctica. The HMNZS Endeavour (10:51) is shown unloading at the McMurdo Station on Ross Island.  Such ships received information from radio teletypes (11:27). On the flying laboratory planes, new equipment includes an infrared temperature sensor (13:12) and buoy tracking devices (13:15). This information is sent to an IBM 7074 (13:37-13:47) data processor.  Wave forecasting was needed for creating synoptic and prognostic wave charges and long-range forecasts. Data was sent to computers (15:53) and an Alden Flat Copy Scanner (16:03) distributed charts by radio facsimile broadcasts. NASA also requested wave charts for the barge Promise (16:47-17:10), which transported the Saturn rocket boosters down the Mississippi River. 
Wave information was also gathered from Argus Island, a Naval rese...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c8257e92-677b-46ae-a058-f525b319cb7e/31f4f0da-daf1-4eb2-a493-7c0b4bd7d21c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qHt45kv2RWiGE1cxrZDVYA</video:player_loc><video:duration>1791</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T11:40:29.853Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bUseZjYRRqFuE6fmAdSUo2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/02697760-75ca-47a5-8365-e9a5907f8607.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE KENTUCKY DERBY STORY   1949  75th ANNIVERSARY FILM  60374</video:title><video:description>This 1949 film by RKO Radio Pictures details the 75th anniversary of the Kentucky Derby.  Churchill Downs (:42) in Louisville, Kentucky, hosts this Diamond Jubilee (1:02) for three-year old thoroughbreds. The names of each “run for the roses” winner are displayed (1:05), beginning with Aristides from May 17, 1875. 
Colonel Martin “Matt” Winn (1:11), president of Churchill Downs, has witnessed every Kentucky Derby.  Footage of Derby winners is shown: 1918 Exterminator (1:44); 1930 Gallant Fox, jockey Earl Sande’s third win (1:54); the disputed 1933 Brokers Tip (2:13); and 1941 Whirlaway’s record time (2:24). Colonel Winn meets with his staff (2:41) to choose 20 horses from 113 nominations who paid entry fees: a $50 subscription fee and $1000. There are only 40,000 reserved seat tickets (3:32). The Publicity department bustles (3:34) and the superintendent supervises workers (3:52). 
The gold Derby cup studded with diamonds is displayed at Lemon &amp; Son (4:23). A Western Union telegram is stamped “No Reservations” (4:41).  The pre-race favorite horse, Olympia, arrives by charter plane (4:44).  Ponder, lesser known, eats grass (5:05). Horses run on the track during early morning workouts (5:17), timed by onlookers. A jockey falls off (5:43) as sportswriters interview trainers (5:54).  The train blackboard shows on-time arrivals (6:13) as the Texas &amp; Pacific RY (6:20) arrives and passengers disembark. Special Greyhound busses (6:35) and a Trans World airplane (6:41) arrive. Hotel lobbies are full of luggage (6:51) as maids make beds in a dormitory-style room (6:55).  
Men, women, and servants read about the Derby (7:11). A betting pool draws names from a hat (7:28). The Pendennis Club’s (7:40) guests arrive. On Derby eve, there are hotel dinner parties (7:48). Sportswriters attend the annual Churchill Downs press party (7:59). Kingsley Walker florists make the winner’s red rose blanket and jockey’s bouquet (8:32).

The film was released in the late 1930s as part of the remilitarization of Germany, in hopes of glorifying the nation's military legacy in the World War. Although they did not achieve a victory in the war, this film essentially shows a victory in battle, with German troops advancing across No Man's Land. Those who saw it may have been either encouraged or discouraged by the contents but of course as we all know, the tactics of World War II were much different than the trench warfare of WWI. 
 
It begins with images of Deutsches Heer infantry on the march (:27), supported by horse drawn wagons. At :46, wagons move past the camera carrying heavy machineguns. At 2:00, German troops rest by the side of a road. At 2:23, ruined buildings are visible in the background as troops and wagons snake up a road on the move to the front.  At 3:11, the front line is shown with troops moving out across no man's land under a hail of artillery. At 3:45, German artillery fires at French lines.  These are probably howitzers. At 4:09 lighter field artillery is fired. At 4:17, German infantry fire rifles from a strong point as enemy troops make an offensive move. At 4:30 a heavy machine gun, probably a Maxim  Maschinengewehr 08 or MG 8.  At 4:48, in an especially graphic sequence, German troops with assault packs fire at incoming infantry who are trapped by barbed wire and mowed down. At 4:58, German troops leave a dugout and trench behind, and climb over barbed wire into no man's land. At 5:29, a soldier cuts through barbed wire while at 6:10 another throws a grenade in preparation for the order to advance. At 6:33, a telegraph or telephone wire is moved through the trenches.   At 6:37 a report is given over the field telephone. At 6:44, artillery shells are fired as fast as they can be loaded during a massive offensive. At 6:50 a huge explosion. At 6:52, a large a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/40365cc9-a663-4954-86eb-0d13b382d3c8/098a0fed-09ba-4a68-b5d0-6575ae3064a1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8VTT2qDsPgXUrZRLBMFg79</video:player_loc><video:duration>782</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T11:44:59.287Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9N7mCmNL2uerJPDy14aMFk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/17a6889c-7c1c-492d-b674-96b73eb0486c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WASHINGTON D.C. 1930s TRAVELOGUE  WHITE HOUSE  CAPITOL BUILDING 46814</video:title><video:description>This silent newsreel from the 1930s was released by Castle Films, and shows Washington, D.C. as it appeared in the pre-war era. The film begins with images of the Capitol building including rare (for this era) aerial shots, apparently filmed from a blimp that is visible later in the newsreel. At :31 you can see traffic passing in front of the building -- something you'd never see today. At :45 the building is pressure washed. At :56 the White House is shown, including views shot from the Washington Monument. At 1:17 the West Wing is shown. The Navy and War Departments are seen at 1:15, before the Pentagon existed. The Supreme Court building is seen at 1:45, at this time the edifice was only a few years old. At 2:11 the Treasury Building with its statue of Alexander Hamilton is shown, and at 2:24 Pennsylvania Avenue is shown with parades trouping by. At 2:43 the "castle" of the Smithsonian is seen with the Spirit of St. Louis in its main hall. At 3:00 the Potomac River is seen along with many federal building and the "Triangle Development" with the post office and Commerce Buildings (home of the patent office). At 3:35 the Dept. of Agriculture Building is seen. 3:51 is the Printing and Engraving Building with its printing presses printing government bonds and currency. At 4:20 DuPont Circle is seen and many foreign embassies. At 4:31 the Lincoln Memorial is seen with a blimp flying in the b/g. The statue of Lincoln is seen at 4:45.

It is directed and photographed by cinematographer Cedric Williams. Baggage and passengers board an Alitalia DC-6B plane at London’s airport before taking off for Italy (:26-1:00). Views of farm fields (1:03), are seen through a car window as it heads from the Adriatic coast inland to San Marino, a Republic inside the Republic of Italy. Cars and a bicyclist cross the bridge (1:41) that divides the two. The woman driving the car stops at the passport office and her passport is stamped (2:01-2:40). Three soldiers (2:43) march and turn at the line dividing the two Republics. People sit and watch the cars go by (2:52) as a wagon cart pulled by a team of oxen is led by a man (2:58). Three medieval towers, Guaita, Cesta, and Montale, perch atop the sheer cliffs (3:14). Cars navigate the sharp twisting road (3:31), heading up a steep incline to the main gate of this city built on Monte Titano (3:47). They must park as no vehicles are allowed in the city. A crowd walks through a walled entry (4:01). A group of soldiers in plumed helmets (4:27-4:54) march their routine in front of the Governor’s Palace under a Statue of Liberty (4:55) as the bells in the clock tower (5:02) chime. A statue of Saint Marinus (5:12), founder of the state in 301 A.D. is seen. San Marino has two governors: one representing San Marino and the other Italy (5:34). Outside, tourists visit the prison ruins at Guaita (7:09). The majestic view (7:17-7:42) encompasses the Tuscan urbanites, the Adriatic Sea, and the Apennine Mountains, captured on postcards (8:02). The city’s birthday celebration in 1956 begins with archers in 13th century costumes using crossbows to hit a target (8:29-9:10). Window shoppers buy souvenirs (9:43-10:02).

The planes used are from Air Wing Five, a United States Navy aircraft carrier air wing based at Naval Air Facility Atsugi, Japan, but the film was produced at Pt. Mugu in California. At :44 a crash scene is shown at an airport, with heavy foam being sprayed by a fire engine. Firefighters wearing asbestos safety suits  quickly disengage the pilot from his safety harness and remove him from the airplane. At 1:50, crash crew visit with an aviator to discuss the rescue features of the F-4. This conversation takes place despite at 2:00, the presence of a beautiful young woman who drives up in a Sunbeam sports car to meet the pilot. At 3:00, the film describes the fuel load of the airplane and describes the hazard areas such as jet intake, hot brakes, etc. At 4:50, the F-4's boundary layer system is shown with its bleed air ducts, which can be extremely hot. At 5:18, downlocks for the landing gear are shown being put into position, and at 5:26 the LOX tank location is shown. At 5:42, smoke abatement tanks are shown. At 6:00 various armaments are shown including sidewinder missiles and pylon based ordnance. At 6:29, a gatling gun is shown on both the USAF and Navy models (the Navy version is carried in a pod). At 7:00, the approach to the aircraft is discussed. At 7:14, the process to shut off the engine is shown. At 7:30, a crash crew moves in to a crash scene with fire engines spraying water and foam. Foam can be injected into the engines to shut them off in an emergency. At 9:00, canopy release procedures are shown. At 10:00, canopy interlock is shown -- part of the ejection system. Inadvertent shearing off of the canopy (10:26) can cause the ejection system to fire. A safety pin can be put into place to prevent ejection.

Wells was a noted author and lecturer who "Sought Secrets of Strange Places."  

This film begins by explaining that American and Australian beginnings were similar in they both involved white settlers and are now both considered to be productive  commonwealths (:58). A map of the country is provided showing the Indian Ocean to the northwest and Pacific with it's great coral reefs (Great Barrier Reef) to the Northeast (1:13).The coast of Australia is famed for it’s reefs as they are the largest; over a thousand miles wide (1:23). At high tide they are completely covered, yet with low the many colors are clearly visible (1:45). Aboriginal Australians ride in on hand made primitive boats (2:19). Their backs are riddled with scars that have been etched using sharp shells, and then packed with mud from under the mangrove tree (2:55). Images of these men with the dangerous and poisonous stingray are taken on the beaches (3:17). Also handled and used for meat, is the shovel nose shark (3:34).The fish that has given rise to the myth of mermaids is the dugong (4:01), not dissimilar to the manatee. A common nickname to the Australian dugong is the ‘sea cow’ (4:16) and it is used for meat, oil and it's thick hide. Massive turtles will cover the beaches by the hundreds  yet by morning rush back to the ocean (5:02). On the shore they will lay eggs, and if these eggs survive natives and predators, they will hatch and return to the ocean as well (5:33). Thousands of tiny soldier crabs sprint along the sand (6:14).A native scales a cliff on which an Eagle has hidden a nest for its baby chicks (6:42). 
For weaponry, modified throwing spears are used which can be hurled lengths of around 200 yards (7:37). In tropical Australia, the corrobone is popular involving dances demonstrating animals such as the alligator and bird (8:27)....</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6adddd80-e813-4708-a748-f5e2f8daa5b0/e5e3e829-6243-41d4-9028-7a88af6b0ad7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ecowqjxVgeJCWJNHH4DtiS</video:player_loc><video:duration>560</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T11:53:46.817Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/24pU2CpHLjjHuZRVM65VyV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1dad15d0-21c7-42cf-8609-14ca85637175.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY WINGS OF GOLD   1940s NAVAL AVIATOR TRAINING AT PENSACOLA 60484</video:title><video:description>U.S. NAVY WINGS OF GOLD is a Naval Aviation training and recruitment film from the 1940’s. It features the base at Pensacola, then the primary training base for naval aviators and the place where aviation cadets could receive their "wings of gold". Some of the planes shown include the N3N-3 Yellow Peril (6:00), the  N2S-1 Stearman PT-17 / A75N1 at 11:00, and the Consolidated P2Y amphibian at 15:30. Navy biplane torpedo bombers and carrier based dive bombers are also shown.

The Aviation Arm of the Navy was to be the most efficient in the world (:12), and out of desire to keep it that way The Navy Department appointed Aviation Cadets to ‘personify the highest type of American manhood’. The men's pay would begin at $105 a month, increase to $155 and then they would receive $1,500 at the end of a three year tour of duty (:51). The wings of gold symbolized a gateway to future careers in commercial aviation (1:09). An aerial view of the Naval Air Station at Pennsicola training school is shown; (1:25) and this is the training base for all Navy personel (1:25). Those appointed to cadet would require at least half the college credits needed for a degree and would also have to pass one of the most difficult exams (2:01). Once in the program, students would receive uniforms and working clothes (2:09). The cadets must learn to drill before they learn to fly (2:54). Afterwards, he will go to sea and board the Destroyer for practical instruction (3:14). He will study navigation, piloting, signaling and gunnery (3:21). Cadets will learn to fly for the first time with an instructor (3:47), utilizing hand signals to understand one another (4:20). Landing will be the most vital peice of the training preliminary (5:34). It  requires at least ten hours of practice before the cadet will be allowed to fly on his own (6:02). Before the first solo flight, the instructor will be passenger to student (6:36).

The film shows the aftermath of a fatal military plane crash, and explores the role of civil authorities in dealing with the emergency. The film was likely produced as a result of heightened dangers to civilians during the Cold War, with military airplane accidents occurring with some frequency, some involving "broken arrow" aircraft that carried nuclear weapons. 

The film opens at the crash scene with the collection of charred remains from the site (1:42). Later these pieces will be utilized to recreate the craft to discover the cause or causes of the crash (1:49). Guests at a local dance event hear and then witness the explosion and one man will notify the local authorities (3:41). The deputy dispatches a patrol officer to the scene (4:03). The authorities will utilize the government pamphlet on military aircraft accidents (5:43) and report all information collected to the military (7:02). Police and spectators arrive at the site and the sheriff has been informed (7:41). On the scene, car headlights are used for visibility (8:00) and the search begins for the pilot. The utmost caution must be used especially when necessary to cross the wrecks path as missiles and rockets may be aboard (9:27). In this particular occurrence, spectators have already interfered with the evidence (9:30). The sheriff arrives on scene (9:50). It is vital to find survivors quickly as they may get trampled by vehicles (10:04). Authorities are attempting to keep civilians back and set up a barricade and roadblock (10:19).  A pilot is found dead, and ambulance is called (11:36) yet, unbeknownst to the officers, there is another survivor that was able to eject in time (11:51). Secondary fires and explosions are always a hazard and one pedestrian is severely injured (14:19).

It likely dates to about 1960. ( The first F-105Bs entered USAF service with the Tactical Air Command's 335th Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 4th Tactical Fighter Wing in August 1958, although the squadron did not become fully operational until 1959.)

The Republic F-105 Thunderchief was a supersonic fighter-bomber used by the United States Air Force. The Mach 2 capable F-105 conducted the majority of strike bombing missions during the early years of the Vietnam War; it was the only U.S. aircraft to have been removed from combat due to high loss rates. Originally designed as a single-seat, nuclear-attack aircraft, a two-seat Wild Weasel version was later developed for the specialized Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) role against surface-to-air missile sites. The F-105 was commonly known as the "Thud" by its crews.

As a follow-on to the Mach 1 capable North American F-100 Super Sabre, the F-105 was also armed with missiles and a cannon; however, its design was tailored to high-speed low-altitude penetration carrying a single nuclear weapon internally. First flown in 1955, the Thunderchief entered service in 1958. The single-engine F-105 could deliver a greater bomb load than some American heavy bombers of World War II such as the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and Consolidated B-24 Liberator. The F-105 was one of the primary attack aircraft of the Vietnam War; over 20,000 Thunderchief sorties were flown, with 382 aircraft lost including 62 operational (non-combat) losses (out of the 833 produced). Although less agile than smaller MiG fighters, USAF F-105s were credited with 27.5 kills.

During the war, the single-seat F-105D was the primary aircraft delivering the heavy bomb loads against the various military targets. Meanwhile, the two-seat F-105F and F-105G Wild ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/25fa76bb-3156-40b4-981a-423140784af6/0f725e67-d72b-4000-aff0-bd556d8afca7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5G1fUoVs3BuSm1tx5GVTjN</video:player_loc><video:duration>274</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T11:55:14.890Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/r2qy7fi54s9qSQMc6vRZ44</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f5d97b33-bd86-4b99-a16e-315a78954ed9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OLIVE CULTIVATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST &amp; OLIVE OIL PRODUCTION  60354</video:title><video:description>G-B Instructional Limited presents OLIVE GROWING IN THE MIDDLE EAST a short film by the J. Arthur Rank Organization Limited and supervised by G I Cons, M.A. The film concentrates on showing the multiple processes used to make olive oil versus the actual olive growing process. The opening shot is a panoramic view of limestone hills dotted by olive trees. A map showing the heaviest concentrations of olive trees (:40 – 1:12) highlights the areas around Spain, the south of France, and Italy. The map pans along to show similar concentrations around Cyprus, Greece, and Palestine. The map now centers on Jerusalem and Damascus (1:14) where traditional cultivation practices are still observed. A panoramic view of limestone houses is shown (1:27) and then centers on the village of Anjara, located in Jordan, in which the people primarily make a living from olive trees planted generations ago by the Romans. New growth is obtained by grafting shoots onto these vintage trunks. A man uses a tall ladder to climb an olive tree as children sit and watch (1:32). Instead of picking the olives, this centuries-old harvesting method involves beating the olives out with a stick (1:49) and gathering them from the ground. 
A woman climbs a ladder to the roof of a house (2:04), a basket of olives balanced on her head. Another woman meets her, takes the basket, and dumps them out (2:19) to dry in the sun. The woman returns down the ladder as the other further spreads the olives out. 
A ten-year old girl (2:50) crushes olives with a large rock and then squeezes the olives (3:07) to create pulp. A seated woman (3:20) begins the process of turning the crushed pulp into oil by placing it into a boiling pan of water to cause the oil to rise to the top. To eliminate waste, she scoops the pulp out into a new pot (3:36) to cool and squeeze again (3:49). A petrol can is used to hold water (3:56) that is then poured over the pulp to make the oil rise. She skims it off again (4:22).

Alois highlights six different aspects of Moroccan life.
His trip begins at the port of Casablanca (1:31) from which he drove to the Morocco city of Marrakesh (Marrakech in French). This city, founded in 1062, lies off the northern slope of the Atlas Mountains (1:41). The remains of ancient walls (1:50) overlook a road used by horseback riders, cars, and a herd of cattle. The Koutoubia Mosque tower, built by Islamic Moors in 1157, still stands (2:01). People gather to do business in the jamila (2:06), an open square. The native people (2:12) are a mix of Berbers, Arabs, Moors, Jews, and Sudanese. The first activity is that of the public scribe (2:36-3:14). This individual sits whittling a piece of bamboo into a pen point(3:05). He is writing in Arabic. Next, children play with marbles in the dirt (3:15-3:40). They shoot their alleys in this game that originated over 2,000 years ago.We next watch a harness maker finishing a belt (3:41). The leather is made of goat skins, tanned in a yellow or brilliant red dye, and sewn with heavily waxed silk. A man tries on his purchase (4:00). To make these dyes (4:17), children pound pomegranates and other vegetable matter using poles and a large mortar. Silk is swirled around in the dye (4:24) and the excess squeezed out.The fourth activity is killing locusts. One method (4:48-5:53) involves using a scarf to sweep the yet wingless nymphs into long ditches filled with water, drowning them. The second method (5:55-6:30) involves guiding the swarm into large mounds of dry straw, which are then set on fire. We next learn about the escargot export business (6:31-7:32). Land snails are gathered from the fields and taken to a central station for sorting by size and quality. They are then crated and loaded onto trucks for export to France, Italy, and the U.S. Last, how to properly eat in a Morocca...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c08a83fe-ad15-4e40-878f-b74eb14a8d9f/2948b12d-d824-4781-80e4-1dbb261c4fdf-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pLZLwbUGY128SmHZT8hTia</video:player_loc><video:duration>677</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T11:58:30.408Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7C313yaqt8XoYjaUV5Fiio</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6e7b673e-34f9-417b-ad2b-64bfb6a6ee28.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1952 REPORT OF THE U.S. NAVY   GLOBAL OPERATIONS / KOREAN WAR 28474</video:title><video:description>This film, REPORT OF THE NAVY tracks two years of the Navy’s progress (1:03) in the post-WWII era. In October 1952, a fleet from Norfolk, Virginia heads for Scotland (1:16) for operation Mainbrace (1:30). It will test NATO’s ability to operate under a common command for a common purpose. The fleet of 160 consisted of carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, tankers and supply ships (1:52). After preparations the first part commences (2:30). This will be air support for ground forces defending Norway (2:45) and the fleet engages the enemy at sea (2:49). After the fleet moves south for an amphibious landing for the theoretically beleaguered Danish forces (3:14). The exercise has shown their ability to work together, but also flaws which will be corrected for the following year (3:59). Another part of the exercise is continuing in the Mediterranean (4:24) and the ships presence became a powerful deterrence for aggression. These operations of the Sixth fleet would not have been possible without the aide of the Navy as it’s in constant motion and without a base (5:01). A map is shown depicting American installments of overseas supply base air stations (5:14). In the year, the Navy transported thousands of men from all services to Europe, Japan, Korea, Africa and the Arctic (5:31). Cargo ships carried goods to fighting ships and transported cargo at sea even in rough weather (6:11). The Navy was employed maintence of isolated weather stations and air bases in polar regions (6:19). These convoys required assistance from the Navy's thirty ice breakers (6:35). In Korea they were engaged in warfare against Communist invaders (7:22). The mission was to cut lines of communication and support (7:50) and jet fighters targeted bridges, tunnels and trucks (8:14).

It centers around the YMCA as it rebuilds around the globe. Opening with the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco (:42) which is the largest and cost $35 million and four years to construct, and the Ludendorff Bridge over the Rhine River (1:12). During warfare, bridges no longer seemed ‘beautiful’ as they became targets for bombing (1:20). In peace, they will be rebuilt and reunite cities and citizens (1:58). The film takes us to Manila in the Philippines (2:08) where after three years and nine months of war, eighty percent of the city's worth had been destroyed (2:35). Some of the buildings ruined were the Philippine Legislature building (2:53) as well as the University and churches (3:03).  
A housing crisis ensued (3:37) as homes were destroyed and citizens left to exist in shacks made with flimsy material (3:45). The youth also suffered with a shortage of food and structure as we are shown a YMCA secretary intervening in a fight between young boys (5:33). A card for the YMCA of the Philippines appears on screen (6:23) as this boy is welcomed into the club (6:27). After the war, the Y building had been left without much to salvage and the secretary must rebuild the headquarters as well as his own home (8:08). He will also bring needed services to students as they will require employment advice and ideally, on site training (9:20).
Free sporting events such as boxing (9:26) aided to boost morale. The amateur night on the radio was also a hit (9:35). In Czechoslovakia, the cathedral in Prague remained standing through occupation (10:05) and mostly undamaged Y building (10:27). They were able to continue services such as allowing youth to play the game invented by the YMCA, basketball (11:05). Unfortunately, the secretary had perished in prison along with other staff members whom held loyal to their beliefs (11:30).

On June 4, 1944, an American anti-submarine squadron accomplished an incredible feat, capturing the German U-boat U-505 and all hands.  This film celebrates the achievement and explains how it happened.  It certainly wasn't a fluke.  Commander Daniel Gallery, of the USS Guadalcanal, was convinced he could surface and capture an enemy submarine, and he drilled his crews in the art of boarding.  When the aircraft carrier USS Guadalcanal (CVE-60) and its destroyer escorts, USS Pillsbury (DE-133), USS Pope (DE-134), USS Flaherty (DE-135), USS Chatelain (DE-149) and USS Jenks (DE-665), got a contact, they worked in close concert to achieve the capture.  German submarine commander Harald Lange and his crew were neatly captured, and their boat towed to Bermuda.  Today this Type IXC U-boat rests in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, a nice war prize delivered in style by the U.S. Navy.

A bit more on this ... Ultra intelligence from decrypted German cipher messages had informed the Allies that U-boats were operating near Cape Verde. The Navy dispatched Task Group 22.3, a "Hunter-Killer" group to the area. At 11:09 on 4 June 1944, TG 22.3 made sonar contact with U-505 off the coast of Río de Oro. The sonar contact was only 800 yards (700 m) away off Chatelain's starboard bow. Chatelain was so close to U-505 that depth charges would not sink fast enough to intercept the U-boat, so instead she fired Hedgehogs before passing the submarine and turning to make a follow-up attack with depth charges. One of the aircraft sighted U-505 and fired into the water to mark the position while Chatelain dropped depth charges. Immediately after the detonation of the charges a large oil slick spread on the water. Less than seven minutes after Chatelain's first attack began, the badly damaged U-505 surfaced less than 600 metres (700 yd) away. Chatelain immediately comm...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5ff09e30-26c0-4138-b61d-58abd98bf5f6/2a6e21bd-9af5-44d3-bbda-7a40761f9b61-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cR8xrkMeLDRZsrcBGppov5</video:player_loc><video:duration>978</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:06:32.087Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qakiMhAV8Yz82gdETej6c8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ef7dabc0-33ff-47a9-bad9-93bd61bf0675.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WORLD WAR II  BOUGAINVILLE CAMPAIGN   OPERATION CARTWHEEL  NEWSREEL  1943    44444</video:title><video:description>This film BOUGAINVILLE A STEP TO VICTORY presents the Bougainville Campaign starting in mid-1943, as Allied planes began bombing the Solomons. At 1:10, troops are seen loading up at Guadalcanal, to head towards Bougainville. The beach assault is seen at 2:15, with the landing on November 3, 1943. The battle that follows is a heated one, with troops backed by tanks and flamethrowers advancing into the jungle and taking heavy casualties. Maps are read in the field at 5:30, with plans to assault the Japanese 6th Division. The Japanese attack is repulsed and the film ends with images of the graves of U.S. troops, as well as images of a rear area where troops relax and enjoy entertainment from the USO, a "Radio City" area, and even at 9:00 some surfing. 

The Bougainville Campaign was a series of land and naval battles of the Pacific campaign of World War II between Allied forces and the Empire of Japan. It was part of Operation Cartwheel, the Allied grand strategy in the South Pacific. The campaign took place in the Northern Solomons in two phases. The first phase, in which American troops invaded and held the perimeter around the beachhead at Torokina, lasted from November 1943 through November 1944. The second phase, in which primarily Australian troops went on the offensive, mopping up pockets of starving, isolated but still-determined Japanese, lasted from November 1944 until August 1945, when the last Japanese on the island surrendered. Operations during the final phase of the campaign saw the Australian forces advance north towards the Bonis Peninsula and south towards the main Japanese stronghold around Buin, although the war ended before these two enclaves were completely destroyed.

Produced by Robert M. Carson, this film shows the role the company (and Georgia’s timber industry) plays in the packaging industry. The film begins by discussing how agriculture has historically played a central role in Georgia’s economy, but the reliance on only a few crops—namely cotton—led to soil depletion and erosion. The barren land hit a breaking point during the 1930s, so Georgia began an initiative—the planting of native Georgia pine trees to solve the soil erosion and depletion problems. This initiative was primarily undertaken by the state’s pulp and paper industry. Restoration efforts were successful because of the quick growth of the pine trees native to Georgia; today, small tree farm operations (03:52) are providing the timber needed to fuel the demand for paper products throughout the country. Harvested pine is sent to mills like the Brunswick Pulp and Paper Company’s plant (04:22). Most of the pulpwood is supplied by private land owners and delivered to the mills by small independent truckers. Pine from more distant locations is brought in by rail. Plants like Brunswick’s turn timber into paper by using heavy duty cranes to load logs onto conveyer belts to be debarked (04:54). Logs drop into debarking drums (05:34) where the bark is stripped; the peeled logs move to chippers before being “cooked” (06:28), washed and screened (06:37), then made into pulp (06:47). Water is evaporated from the sheets of pulp, which is then trimmed and sheeted (07:40). Stacked sheets are weighed and loaded onto trucks, and sent off to be made into a variety of paper products. An aerial shot of the modern Rome Kraft Company mill (08:11) shows where Georgia Pine is manufactured into liner board, or Kraft paper board. Here, one of the world’s largest paper-making machines, the Conqueror (08:35), ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d17a6ff9-94ed-41c5-80ac-f24bd54c4067/0b8d4832-8c3f-4477-b4c9-8abef736bd58-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rSiuM991yhLrWiN278ugz2</video:player_loc><video:duration>1681</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:12:46.342Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1sbDCupX8oNVVGexqU4CkE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/aacce12e-02a8-4f11-b1ab-133847da645b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s CANADA TOURISM MOVIE   THIS IS CANADA REEL 2  BRITISH COLUMBIA  ONTARIO  ALBERTA 79544</video:title><video:description>THIS IS CANADA is a promotional tourism film produced by the Canadian National Railroad, highlighting the cities, sights, and incredible natural landscapes of Canada.  In this portion, three people give their perspective on the country. The first person is an avid fisherman. The film begins with a shot of someone fly fishing on a lake with majestic mountains in the background (00:17), as the man talks about Canada’s incredible fishing. This is followed by scenic footage of British Columbia (00:40). The man mentions a lodge on the north end of Lake of the Woods, Ontario (01:00) that is a great place to base fishing trips out of because it also has a golf course, swimming, and other activities. Animals are abundant in this part of Canada, as beavers (02:00), black bears, and all kinds of birds call the area home. Lake St. John country (03:03), or Lac Saint-Jean, in Quebec has incredible lakes and rivers for fishing, such as the Serpentine River (04:23). New Brunswick also has world-class fishing rivers—fishing the Tobique River (04:05) is one of his favorites. He joins a group of men going out to harpoon fish for swordfish (05:14) in Nova Scotia (04:45). The film goes to the second narrator, a young boy from Omaha, Nebraska. He talks about the impressive timber industry (06:50) in British Columbia and how logs are transported downriver (07:25). He also mentions that in Canada, Royal Mounted Police ride boats (07:45) more than horses, that you can meet Eskimos and their huskies in Churchill (07:52), see imposing railway engines (08:14), and have breakfast picnics in Jasper, British Columbia. Watching a black bear play (08:41), skiing with rope-tow lifts (08:50), and taking in a Canadian parade (09:21), rodeo (09:35), and the Toronto Exhibition (09:58) are just some of the other activities to enjoy in Canada. The last person to talk about Canada is an artist (10:55). He discusses how every area of Canada is different but beautiful. He mentions the colorful beauty of ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/03a7e68b-4786-442e-9a9b-5c12b536d27c/64b6bcfc-3920-4d55-ab9b-4e66db094bc1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1sbDCupX8oNVVGexqU4CkE</video:player_loc><video:duration>1081</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:15:07.057Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/b2997H5DoUr6wvHJPwPDmf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f8328b38-30c7-4c22-af7d-1945f740b526.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" PROOF OF THE PLUSES" 1955 CHEVROLET BEL AIR PROMOTIONAL MOVIE  87484</video:title><video:description>This short film touts the superiority of the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air over Ford and Plymouth. The reasons given include high engine torque twisting power at the transmission (:14); matched rear axles (:23), better weight distribution provides traction to the rear wheels (:28), and better power-to-weight ratio (:39). These points are visualized as a Chevy is shown pulling 16 different full-size makes from other car companies (:48). A dynamometer (1:19) measures engine power. A special torque wheel is installed (1:27) for testing and the results are displayed on a torque meter (1:39).  A burette (1:42) is used to measure fuel consumption at different speeds and an oscillograph (today called an oscilloscope) (1:47) calculates accelerating capabilities by time, distance, and speed. An engineer flips through the charts proving Chevrolet’s excellence (2:04). 
A Chevrolet, Ford, and Plymouth are put to the test in a controlled race (2:20). The three cars are comparably priced, have a V-8 engine, and a standard transmission. Three professional NASCAR drivers (2:41) are used that will alternate cars for each challenge. 
The first test is accelerating ability (3:24), in which the Chevy wins by more than a car length. The drivers trade cars for the return drive (4:05), and the Chevy again triumphs. The second test is hill-climbing ability (4:40) up a 7.2 grade, hitting 70 miles per hour. The Chevy does it easily. A much steeper 16% grade is now conquered by the Chevy, well ahead of the two competing models. San Francisco’s steepest hill, a 27% grade (5:55) is the last challenge, beginning from a standstill on the grade. One car’s tires squeal, proof of poor traction. The Chevy’s strong traction is shown (6:47).
The burette (6:55) shows the Chevy uses less gas, regardless of the speed. The torque device (7:18) also verifies the Chevy at every speed develops more effective road power. The Chevy pushes the Ford and Plymouth up a hill, again highlighting its torque abilities (8:0...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/51242593-2db0-49ee-b116-f0e5d6e77262/7f9b40d6-2891-4fe5-b09f-2e360d66d329-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/b2997H5DoUr6wvHJPwPDmf</video:player_loc><video:duration>511</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:16:26.219Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3ZcYY47hmsWuRFzgsVZki9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f4356b68-5d67-4e17-9739-853ff1cc1ec1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>US NAVY CHECKING IN 1940s COMEDY SHORT 20534</video:title><video:description>Made by unknown filmmakers sometime in the 1940s, CHECKING IN is a silent U.S. Navy gag movie that follows the antics of a new recruit named Red Marme.  The film follows Marme as he arrives for basic training aboard a U.S. Navy bus (which he falls out of).  This sets the tone for a series of funny vignettes ranging from Red's first cigarette, working as a photographer's mate (and losing the camera out the airplane), and more.

It gives an impressive overview of this amazing airplane. The opening of the film discusses how a multi-role interceptor is needed that can also "go it alone", with long-range capabilities -- and then states that the only aircraft in the world capable of performing that multi-role today is the F-14. The F-14 combines a high performance airframe with the Phoenix missile system AIM-54A, which can destroy targets air-to-air at long and short ranges. The film includes a wide variety of footage including of Soviet MiGs, Backdraft bombers and tactical interceptors starting at 1:20, and images of the Soviet missile systems shown at 6:00 including air, submarine-launched and other guided missile systems. At 6:30, the F-14's airborne radar systems are shown in operation performing an intercept. At 7:23, Phoenix missile tests are shown striking a variety of drone targets. At 9:00, the aircraft's two-man cockpit is shown with its ECM components and highly automated systems.

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat is an American supersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, variable-sweep wing fighter aircraft. The Tomcat was developed for the United States Navy's Naval Fighter Experimental (VFX) program after the collapse of the F-111B project. The F-14 was the first of the American teen-series fighters, which were designed incorporating air combat experience against MiG fighters during the Vietnam War.

The F-14 first flew in December 1970 and made its first deployment in 1974 with the U.S. Navy aboard USS Enterprise (CVN-65), replacing the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. The F-14 served as the U.S. Navy's primary maritime air superiority fighter, fleet defense interceptor, and tactical aerial reconnaissance platform into the 1990s.

Murrow. It covers the successful secret mission of Operation Sunshine, code name for the USS Nautilus (SSN-571) voyage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean via the North Pole. It opens with footage of the canopy of ice that covers the Arctic Ocean (:13). A dog sled team crosses the frozen tundra (:36) and an ice breaker ship tries unsuccessfully to plow through the mass (:43). The USS Nautilus crosses the screen on April 25, 1958 as it departs New London, Connecticut on its way to the Panama Canal (:56-1:28). The overt mission was to document nuclear submarines. Below deck, a technician works on a modified version of an inertial navigation system (1:29) and another on a high latitude gyro compass (1:43). The submarine heads out to sea (2:15), beginning its 2,900-mile secret mission. Glaciers (2:40) and ice conditions force the Nautilus to turn back to the submarine base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (3:10).  Rear Admiral Grenfell welcomes the crew (3:18) as hula dancers perform (3:29). The sub departed on July 23 and began diving (3:38). The crew (3:47) had remained silent on their failed attempt. The U.S. Department of Navy building (4:00) and White House (4:05) represent the few who knew the facts. A map of the route (4:30) shows its perils but this time navigator Lieutenant Jenks has first documented the Arctic ice conditions from a plane (4:39).  A view of the ice through the periscope (5:54) is a last look as the crew controls the dive (6:13) while navigation charts are poured over (6:26). The sub’s propellers churn through the ocean (6:42). We see life aboard a submarine. The nuclear power plant (7:15) provides energy, running a jukebox (7:22) and a coke machine (7:27) with pinups (7:29). The crew relaxes by reading, fixing clothes on a Singer sewing machine (8:05), cooking, and guitar playing. On the second day under ice, soundings indicate the sea floor getting shallow...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f18b1e21-547e-44c5-b667-1e46b2524ba2/568d914d-aa19-4d15-af1b-8e06f4bbd456-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vPXp19ZzWEcnGMcwkWJRFq</video:player_loc><video:duration>837</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:24:06.128Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wkGwWJgjjXKMqTs4qbPo4H</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c274fa0a-f706-4c01-9379-5d4efd757458.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GERMAN EDUCATIONAL FILM  SURFACE MINING OF COAL BUCKET WHEEL EXCAVATORS  75272</video:title><video:description>Dating to the 1930s, this silent 16mm film from Germany shows the surface mining of coal using large continuous bucket wheel dredges (:38) or Riesenschaufelradbagger (coal mining machines). At 2;20, the buckets are seen up close scraping the earth continuously off the side of the mine site. At 3:23 the raw material enters a series of conveyer belts where it is moved at high speed and then placed in a large heap at 4:30. At 9:29, ore cars loaded with coal are moved to a processing facility and converted at 10:40 into bricks or briquettes. 

Bucket wheel excavators are machines for mining raw materials and for use on large construction sites. Particularly large bucket wheel excavators - with dimensions of several hundred meters - are used in lignite mining.

Bucket wheel excavators are among the largest and most spectacular excavators in the world and have been manufactured since the 1930s. Since 1978, there are excavators that can move daily up to 240,000 tons of coal or cubic meters of overburden . These 240,000er are the largest excavators in the world today. With their commissioning and a weight of more than 12,000 tons, they became the largest land vehicles in the world, ahead of the delivery platforms for the US moon rockets. Built in 1978 by VVB TAKRAF Lauchhammer excavator 1510 SRs6300 in the Lausitzer district and built in the same year by Krupp Industrietechnik bucket wheel excavator "288" in the Rheinische Revier were the first excavators in this performance class. The excavator 288 is currently working in the Garzweiler open pit ( RWE Power ).

The primary application of BWEs is in lignite (brown coal) mining, where they are used for soft rock overburden removal in the absence of blasting. They are useful in this capacity for their ability to continuously deliver large volumes of materials to processors, which is especially important given the continuous demand for lignite.

Because of the great demand for lignite, lignite mining has also been one of th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f5b24566-58ed-4c7e-bf6c-df3d4d7f5ba7/c453953b-c649-47cd-a839-cbbe9fd99ad5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wkGwWJgjjXKMqTs4qbPo4H</video:player_loc><video:duration>674</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:26:03.888Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pVyb3eiK5jcWrcfemmv74N</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/375f050a-9a01-4bfe-8653-9548cceac03e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GLIDER DESIGNER HAWLEY BOWLUS HOME MOVIES   BALSA WOOD MODELS 70154</video:title><video:description>This fascinating, silent 16mm movie comes from the estate of William Hawley Bowlus (May 8, 1896 - August 27, 1967) or someone who was close to him.  Bowlus was a designer, engineer and builder of aircraft (especially gliders) and recreational vehicles in the 1930s and '40s. The film begins showing Bowlus buildling a balsa wood model of an airplane, most likely a P-61 Black Widow. At 2:00, Bowlus shows off another model, this one of a midget racing car. At 3:10, Bowlus is seen looking at a calendar with a pin-up girl image on the months. At 3:17, the film transitions to the dry lakes, possibly Muroc Dry Lake outside Los Angeles where Bowlus often went for flight tests. His new Mercury sits on the lakebed near a woody station wagon at 4:00 while his girlfriends play with Speed Graphic cameras. At 6:00, Bowlus and his friends sit by a small lake or lagoon and sun themselves. At 7:50, a surfboard is brought out for some paddle boarding. At 8:44, some work is performed on a car with its hood open. At 10:00, a man poses in Ray Bans or similar sun glasses, looking cool and composed. At 10:20 an old style Ford is seen riding down the street. At 10:30. work continues on the car seen earlier. 

Today Hawley Bowlus is most widely known for his key role in the design of Airstream travel trailers, which followed his prior famed work as the Superintendent of Construction on Charles Lindbergh's aircraft, the Spirit of St. Louis.

Bowlus was an expert at soaring flight and at building gliders, established numerous records, trained many of America's earliest glider pilots, and gave gliding lessons to both Charles and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. In 1930 he and Lindbergh glided at various locations in California. Most notably Point Loma in San Diego California where Bowlus conducted many of his flights and tests.

Charles Lindbergh established a regional distance record for gliders by flying in a Bowlus sailplane from Mount Soledad in La Jolla to Del Mar, making use of the lift at the T...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c1bc6fb4-ce45-40d8-a19c-2147260ba53c/7148736f-4215-48ea-8cd9-a04bdcb068f8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pVyb3eiK5jcWrcfemmv74N</video:player_loc><video:duration>700</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:28:01.810Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fYTjR6nhMuyVc4T2sTw5Lh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bd7f3255-bf8d-4279-82f8-92773f5d7f09.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HOW MOTION PICTURES MOVE AND TALK   MOVIE TECHNOLOGY 59274</video:title><video:description>Presented by Bell &amp; Howell this 1940 short film, HOW MOTION PICTURES MOVE AND TALK educates viewers on how pictures are given “movement” and how sound is recorded and printed on a film strip. The scope of motion pictures is incredible for what it can bring to the viewer, such as Polynesian dancers (00:31), planes flying over Egypt’s pyramids (00:38), or the tops of active volcanos (00:41). Motion pictures also allow families to record and watch their own motion pictures, preserving memories. The film demonstrates how still images are manipulated to create what appears to be movement (01:45). Old movie projectors for individual viewing (02:05) use a roll of paper pictures that revolve to create the illusion of movement, such as a short film of Thomas Edison (02:10). Motion pictures operate the same way an artist can animate a cartoon (02:24). The film shows the projector and the essential parts that enable it to function (02:50), including the light source, optical system, and the sturdy film-moving mechanism. By removing the shutter blade, the viewer is able to see how the projector operates, as the shutter revolves and moves the film strip through, creating the motion picture. Film strips have holes punched in them (05:01) so they can run through projectors or be superimposed to create new scenes using two different films (05:18). Sound is created on the film strip by adding a variable density track (05:35). The film shows how the sound is then projected (05:53), and shows how a soundtrack is actually recorded in a recording room (06:47). At the Grand National Studios (07:50), on-screen sound is recorded at the same time that the picture is. After recording, the film negative is developed (08:25), printed, and then cut and edited (08:39). Picture and soundtrack negatives are printed and matched together on a single film (08:55), called a composite print, which is sent out to theatres for large-scale showings. Smaller projectors (09:40) use film made from the sta...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/795138f4-3f61-44c4-bb18-4ae79ff90e78/0b4e1240-9f6e-450a-bc1b-f7c2628e3751-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fYTjR6nhMuyVc4T2sTw5Lh</video:player_loc><video:duration>638</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:29:49.523Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/daBCjpsnEWBH1wdLWERiCy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0d76537e-57cb-4e3b-9323-bca86a69f7e9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ROYAL NAVY SHORE ESTABLISHMENT HMS DRYAD  RADAR &amp; DEFENSE AT SEA  59674</video:title><video:description>HMS DRYAD is a 1970s recruiting film produced by International Cine for the British Royal Navy. The short film features a former student of the naval school in Hampshire, England, who trained there to become a Royal Navy Radar Operator. The film opens with a shot of a battleship at sea (00:16), as the narrator says that defense at sea in the 1970s has progressed a long way since the early days of naval warfare. One of the biggest advances is radar. The narrator, John Fox, says he went to H.M.S. Dryad (00:53), the naval shore station, to become a radar operator. In the classroom (01:08), students learn about radar display. When a student starts training, they are called a radar plot basic, and they learn the fundamentals of radar and operations run technique. After understanding the theory of range and bearing, students train to assist in the movement of ships and aircraft—such as helping a helicopter (02:53) see far beyond the pilot’s actual vision. The school’s training network is computerized (03:32), and women write programs for training mock exercises that are conducted in the school’s simulated ops rooms (04:11). Anytime someone in navigation and radar joins a new ship, they will go to HMS Dryad to train, as there they can simulate the ops room of almost every ship in the royal fleet. The film concludes by showing the battleship (05:4) from the opening scene, where radar operators in the ship’s ops room (05:49) coordinate the shooting down of what appears to be a missile or rocket (06:17).

HMS Dryad is a former stone frigate (shore establishment). It was the home of the Royal Navy’s Maritime Warfare School from the Second World War until it moved to HMS Collingwood at Fareham in 2004. The site was handed over to the Ministry of Defense in 2005 and is now occupied by the Defense College of Policing and Guarding.

The Suggestion Program was a Vietnam War era program intended to save vital Pentagon dollars, and it still exists today in some form. While some of this film is a bit laughable — showing what appears to be ridiculous levels of government waste — the message remains current.

The opening scenes depict a re-enactment of a film director struggling to record a scene in which a child is supposed to mimic an actress. It was the turn of the century and movies were fairly new (1:57). Scenes had to be shot in sequence as they unfolded. A bystander makes the suggestion to reverse the situation; have the actress mimic the child which spurs the idea of splicing footage (editing) which is now a massive facet of movie making (7:13). The Army's program to encourage suggestions made it easy to do so and ideas were rewarded as the army would then profit from ideas (7:43). The first example of such a suggestion is from an inventory management specialist in the Subsistence Office of the Army Material Command (7:56). She recognized that it was wasteful and expensive to hold a half million pounds of evaportated milk that would only be used in emergency (8:30). Using dehydrated milk in it’s place would be cheaper in the annual Army food plan (9:12). She was rewarded $1688 (10:00) and not only were stocks immediately used up, the Army saved on shipping costs as it was lighter (11:05). Another example comes from a sergeant in the aviation office due to issues with the UH-1H engine (11:14). Engines were severely damaged after starting at too high or too low a battery voltage (11:30). Pilots had difficulty remembering the critical voltage range (11:52) and the sergeant believed a better method would be to use red and green tape (12:02). Red indicated the danger zone and green the operating zone (12:12). This lessened the chance of hot starts and he was awarded $125 (12:23). Although military and civilia...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4ce36e8b-f2b1-44be-b88d-1ec3a4a5281a/de7b1abd-add1-4053-9362-ce95f5f95b7f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/auFwt4ChMwjh4Q1vjzwVyE</video:player_loc><video:duration>1395</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:32:17.477Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fyc5ZdM7sDBe5XAbsZdRWw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4089b29b-3209-48f6-b712-1d869a81d3a0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s SIOUX INDIAN DOCUMENTARY FILM  "FALLEN EAGLE"  59194</video:title><video:description>FALLEN EAGLE is a 1950s short film produced in cooperation with the U.S. Office of Indian Affairs and the Department of Parks. It was written and directed by Alan Shilin. The film is sponsored by the P. Lorillard Company, makers of Old Gold Cigarettes. A Sioux wearing an eagle-feather headdress sits on a horse (:58). In the 1860s, the Sioux were migratory, following the buffalo as it roamed across Minnesota to the western mountains (1:58). Belongings were transported by a horse pulling a travois (2:16). Women unload and set up a teepee (3:18). The men pay respect to the Chief (3:36) at his large teepee. An owl painted on a drum is shown (3:45). The group sits around a fire, sharing a peace pipe (3:53).  In 1875, war bonnets hang in peace (4:19). A woman paints (4:54). Household objects are beaded (5:00). An old warrior tracks the winter count on a buffalo hide (5:26). Men hunt and kill a buffalo (5:49). Campfires illuminate the shadow of a man beating a drum (7:36), heard by an ill man and a warrior. We see the Medicine Man in action (7:53).
A maiden goes to the river (8:29) and her suitor plays a flute (9:00). The warrior asks permission to propose (9:55). The bride bathes and is elaborately dressed, including beaded moccasins (10:27). Her hair is plaited with a combing stick (10:37). The guests arrive (10:53). The wedding feast is prepared in a buffalo paunch (11:14). Carved wooden utensils are used for serving (11:35). A Rabbit Dance (12:00) is performed. The two fathers share a pipe (12:32). Ceremonial tobacco pouches (12:55) are shown. The bride is escorted to her husband’s teepee (13:07). In early 1876, messengers bring word of war (13:24) and the warriors practice their skills (13:58) as smoke signals billow (14:32). Tombstones mark the graves of the Calvary under General George Custer (14:49), after their massacre on June 25, 1876 by Crazy Horse at the Little Big Horn River.

Starting at :51 you will see operations at a U.S. Navy seaplane base. We're not sure where this was located but probably  Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. Some of the PBM-3 Mariner aircraft shown are marked "SF" on the tail, possibly standing for "San Francisco"?  At 3:30 the PBM-3 takes off across the bay. At 6:25 the unit is reviewed by the commanding officer who appears to be a one-star Admiral. The film ends at 9:51 with an interesting sequence, as an old woman begs for coins amid U.S. sailors. 

The Martin PBM Mariner was an American patrol bomber flying boat of World War II and the early Cold War period. It was designed to complement the Consolidated PBY Catalina in service. A total of 1,366 were built, with the first example flying on 18 February 1939 and the type entering service in September 1940. The first PBM-1s entered service with Patrol Squadron Fifty-Five (VP-55) of the United States Navy on 1 September 1940.[3] Prior to the USA's entry into World War II, PBMs were used (together with PBYs) to carry out Neutrality Patrols in the Atlantic, including operations from Iceland. Following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, PBMs were used on anti-submarine patrols, sinking their first German U-boat, U-158 on 30 June 1942. PBMs were responsible, wholly or in part, for sinking a total of ten U-boats during World War II.  PBMs were also heavily used in the Pacific War, operating from bases at Saipan, Okinawa, Iwo Jima and the South West Pacific.

The United States Coast Guard acquired 27 Martin PBM-3 aircraft during the first half of 1943. In late 1944, the service acquired 41 PBM-5 models and more were delivered in the latter half of 1945. Ten were still in service in 1955, although all were gone from the active Coast Guard inventory by 1958 (when the last example was released from CGAS San Diego and returned to the U.S. Navy). These flying boats became the backbo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e5c476ab-37d7-431c-94d6-09e3837f747f/858afb19-281c-4e72-ba15-47c0ea72fe7b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/unBCVSYMGQpkzLizLfryFz</video:player_loc><video:duration>611</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:36:40.178Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1bFqnGvUwp3r1wDkjcD8mT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1a8de70a-07f4-4584-a526-06174f4f4b28.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ FUN AT THE CIRCUS! ” 1955 CASTLE FILMS BIG TOP CIRCUS SHOW w/ ACROBATS, CLOWNS &amp; BIG CATS 45184</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Castle Films (:08) takes viewers to a Big Top Show. It's a 1955 circus lover's delight; makeup caked clowns, dancing bears and swinging acrobats entertain in black and white. Castle films; created by Eugene castle in 1924, was best known for their Sci-Fi flicks such as ‘Frankenstein’. This brief black and white circus short delivers an incredible slice of the circus world in the mid 1950's. Big Top shows were travelling circus shows performed under the traditional large red and white big top tents. Clowns slop on thick face paint (:19). The announcer calls the crowd in. Dwarf clowns ready with small hand held mirrors and puffy face brushes (:22). Red noses (:28) and top hats are smashed on and in. The brass band swings in (:45). Marching girls stomp through (:50). A gothic suited clown wanders by; doll like head knocking side to side (1:01). Elephants swing around the center ring (1:07). Whip lashes prompt tricks (1:20). Youth greedily soak in the show; bright eyed and chin ducked behind the barrier (1:28). Dancing horses (1:31) play the equine ballet. A clown mingles among spectators (1:42) and a dwarf scoots across dirt (1:52). A toothy smile rolls in from the crowd (2:00). The Zebra show follows (2:02). A bucking mule kicks a daring guest (2:17). Jugglers (2:38) throw Indian clubs like firecrackers (2:40). Slinky seals play with beach balls (2:53). Clowns return for a spinning plate trick (3:27). The blonde stunned blue eyed baby, the girl with short hair and the dancing bear (3:39) pass on screen. Swimsuit clad tumbling twins somersault (4:19). The tight rope walker hopscotches side to side (4:31). The magician (5:02) plays with...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/017dbb35-b2a7-4c10-b333-925544b41aaf/6e69aa34-8e38-467d-b729-a389ef19f0f3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1bFqnGvUwp3r1wDkjcD8mT</video:player_loc><video:duration>528</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:37:13.741Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>circus</video:tag><video:tag>Big Top</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/izC4FDXihee7C8XgYYiES9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ba9f5abc-c9c0-4d1b-b237-fb756ac9ffd6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GUARDIANS AT THE GATE    U.S. JUSTIFICATION FOR INVOLVEMENT IN VIETNAM WAR   29034</video:title><video:description>Intended to justify the U.S. presence in Vietnam, GUARDIANS AT THE GATE presents an overview of the war, framed by the words of President Lyndon Johnson. The films opens with footage of bombs exploding in Vietnam (:28). This war, we are informed was created by North Vietnam and spurred by Communism (:46) as the mission was to conquer South Vietnam. The prime minister of the North, Ho Chi Minh, is shown in 1954 at his headquarters (1:05). For seven years, he had fought against the French (1:34). Yet French resistance collapses as they no longer have to means to continue (1:45). In Geneva, the Soviet foreign minister is present as one of the two Communist countries (2:09) in addition to thirteen other nations which all agree to recognize the sovereignity of Vietnam. The agreement creates two Vietnam's divided by the 17th Parallel (2:38). As Communist troops enter into Hanoi, nearly a half million refugees flee south (2:50). South Vietnam’s first leader, Ngo Dinh Diem (3:26) opposes Communism and citizens rally behind him as the country prospers. Despite aggression as the North invades (3:56), the South had been able to double it’s yield of rice and enough cotton is produced in textile plants for everyone (4:10). However, in the North, women are rationed to 25 yards of cotton annually (4:18). Buddhist's demonstrate against Diem for a stronger representation in the government (4:49). In 1963, Diem is overthrown and killed, triggering a series of military coups (4:59). Unrest continues as a new general emerges (5:04).
Communist guerrillas commit terrorist attacks (5:19) and the US begins to participate more actively in the conflict (5:28). A State Department White Paper (5:52) details the South’s plight as North Vietnam campaigns to conquer them. Captured documents from a sunk armoured cargo ship are proven to have originated from Northern Vietnam as well as Czechoslovakia and China (6:09). They proove Hanoi’s aggression. Russia’s Kosygin and other Soviet leaders meet...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8e5d2066-2770-4324-8ffb-279677be101c/65e4476e-58be-480c-827b-41ac05685675-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/izC4FDXihee7C8XgYYiES9</video:player_loc><video:duration>769</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:38:04.576Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/q6nE5nbYy55ix1uToJz3H7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2f04e1d7-765f-4304-9b6c-3f93c997b2ed.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>VISIT TO WAR RAVAGED VIENNA AUSTRIA   POST-WWII HOME MOVIES  Feldkirch 60284</video:title><video:description>Shot by an unknown American G.I., this 16mm silent home movie shows Occupied Austria in the mid-1940s. Much like Germany, Austria was divided into American, British, French, and Soviet zones and governed by the Allied Commission for Austria. Austria, in general, was treated as though it had been originally invaded by Germany and liberated by the Allies. On 15 May 1955, after talks which lasted for years and were influenced by the Cold War, Austria regained full independence by concluding the Austrian State Treaty with the Four Occupying Powers. On 26 October 1955, after all occupation troops had left, Austria declared its "permanent neutrality" by an act of parliament.

The film begins in Vienna with a sign that says "Did you leave it! Did you lock it! If you didn't! The M.P.s (military police) will hock it!" followed by a flier for a Getrude Hutter opera performance. At :24 extensive damage is seen to downtown buildings. At :32 the USA Information Center is seen. At :39 a Gothic church is seen, the Votive Church or Votivkirche. Footage following shows extensive damage to the church facade. At 1:08 more damage is seen to Vienna with bomb-shattered blocks. At 1:21 is what appears to be St. Stephen's Cathedral, with scaffolding present. Most likely this shows the rebuilding efforts after the building partially caught fire during the Soviet invasion on April 12, 1945. Fortunately much of the building was saved due to heroic efforts of locals. At 4:42 the national opera house in Vienna is seen. At 5:30 is the Johann-Strauss-Denkmal memorial, an art nouveau wonder. At 5:36 the Wiener Rathaus (also Neues Rathaus), the city hall of Vienna, is seen, followed by the Austrian Parliament Building at 5:51 and national theater at 6:14. At 7:10 the Schönbrunn Palace is seen. 

At 8:37 a motorcycle zips by with two people aboard. This part of the film we don't know where it was shot -- some beautiful scenery and perhaps someone on Youtube will clue us in as to the region.

The film begins with “1901-1949: A New World Power,” an overview of the rise of broadcast radio. At Rocky Point, New York (00:37) in 1933, Guglielmo Marconi—inventor of the radio—and David Sarnoff—American radio and television pioneer and protégé of Marconi—visit the birthplace of America’s radio broadcasting. In 1921 on WHN, the young movie star Miriam Battista (00:54) sings for listeners. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover (01:24) uses radio in 1922. At the WJZ studio, Andrew White (01:38) updates listeners with the latest in sports. The rapid growth leads to larger, more powerful radio towers, such as the Port Jefferson tower (01:48) and the Darlington, Virginia tower (01:52) measuring over 600 feet. In 1923, the first American overseas broadcast is relayed all over England by Captain West of the BBC (02:00). One of America’s top radio studios is at Chicago’s Edgewater Beach Hotel (02:13), where members of Chicago’s Civic Opera sing (02:27) for nationwide audiences. Radio broadcasting brings operatic soprano Florence Macbeth (02:33) and tenor Angelo Minghetti (02:37) into American homes. In 1926, Marion Talley (02:43), opera coloratura soprano, sings in a New York City studio and is heard by 16 million listeners. At the Edgewater Beach Hotel’s glamorous Marine Room (02:55), the famed Oriole Orchestra (03:03) is broadcast live in one of radio’s first remote events. The rise of radio goes beyond entertainment: police departments use radio (03:07) to broadcast orders to officers on patrol. A mounted policeman receives his orders by radio (03:25). In 1923, Graham McNamee (03:37) calls the World Series (03:35) between the New York Yankees and the New York Giants. During the 1920s, radio is incorporated into airplanes and airports.

The film begins with visitors exiting Delta Airline’s DC-7 plane at the airport in Havana, Cuba (00:31), thus beginning their Caribbean Sky Cruise. Aerial shots of Havana and Havana Bay (00:44) reveal the beauty of the city that combines a modern metropolis with the old Spanish Main. At the entrance of the harbor is Morro Castle (01:05), or Castillo De Los Tres Reyes Del Morro. According to legend, Colon Cathedral (01:12), now known as Havana Cathedral, once held the remains of Christopher Columbus. Havana’s capital building (01:30) is another beautiful piece of architecture. Dedicated in 1925, Monumento al Maine (01:41) is a Cuban monument on Malecon Boulevard that commemorates the men who died in the sinking of the battleship Maine in 1898. Havana features a number of luxury hotels, such as the Nacional (02:22). When Cubans aren’t playing the lotto, they are placing bets on horses at Havana’s racetrack (02:49), a must-visit for any tourist. The next stop on the Caribbean Sky Cruise is Jamaica’s Montego Bay (03:24), with its beautiful white sand beaches (03:41). Fine hotels, like the Tower Isle (03:53) line Jamaica’s North Shore. The ship-shaped portion of Fort Charles (04:09), called Nelson’s Quarterdeck after Horatio Nelson, is a popular destination for tourists. The visit to Jamaica ends with viewing the governor’s residence, King’s House (04:36), and the harvesting of sugar cane (04:50), which is taken to the processing plants (05:11) to be turned into sugar and rum. From Jamaica, the sky cruise continues to Port-au-Prince, Haiti (05:27). The streets of Haiti maintain an old-world feel (05:43), but modern architecture is present, such as the Notre Dame Cathedral (05:49) and the National Palace (05:56). Statues remind visitors of the mighty figures in Haiti’s past, such as King Henri Christophe, who built the palace of Sans-Souci (06:22) in Milot and the mount...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1266b688-4551-4763-8934-5691152ed877/3c0096d4-6493-4074-89a6-820a2b69a55d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3gMTtosXCju7KKNCL5hojc</video:player_loc><video:duration>553</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:40:12.330Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4w9LQvNnRHNwKmTjovmmSZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d8a0d96f-0fb9-4e05-a6bc-616e09ce36e3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>UNITED AIRLINES  DC-8 JET MAINLINER   INTRODUCTION TO JET AGE  FLIGHT 803  59764</video:title><video:description>This film, JET MAINLINER FLIGHT 803 was presented by United Airlines (1:49) and produced by Cate &amp; McGlane (1:54) in Hollywood, California to promote the new DC-8 passenger jets and celebrate the arrival of the new "jet age". The Douglas DC-8 (also known as the McDonnell Douglas DC-8) was a four-engine long-range narrow-body jet airliner built from 1958 to 1972 by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Launched after the competing Boeing 707, the DC-8 nevertheless kept Douglas in a strong position in the airliner market, and remained in production until 1972 when it began to be superseded by larger wide-body designs, including the Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and Lockheed L-1011 TriStar. The DC-8's design allowed it a slightly larger cargo capacity than the 707 and some re-engined DC-8s are still in use as freighters.

The film begins at the New York International Airport as the jet mainliner 803 is taxied into it’s United terminal for departure to San Francisco (2:06). At 2:47 the Alexander Calder sculpture is seen in the airport lobby. One hundred passengers will take part in this flight. A model jetliner (3:10) shows first class seats will be two by two and coach will be three (3:24). An exclusive feature is the coach lounge which also serves as a roomy rear entrance (3:35). Luggage containers are designed to give extra care to passenger property and quick efficient loading (3:56).  In United’s operating base in Denver, plans for every mile of DC-8’s travel has already been mapped out (4:26). This is the largest airline control center in the world (4:30) and from all over the northern hemisphere, weather reports will arrive from ships at sea and aircraft. They have gathered wind and weather conditions for up to 60,000 feet (4:44).
Information collected will be able to predict conditions all along the 14,000 miles of routes of United Airlines flights (4:51). All data is entered into computers and will then yield detailed flight plans (5:13).

The Polar Bear Expedition was sent to Russia by the U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in response to requests from the governments of Great Britain and France to join the Allied Intervention in North Russia (also known as the North Russia Campaign). 

When the British commanders of the Allied Intervention arrived in Arkhangelsk on August 2, 1918, they discovered that the Allied war material had already been moved up the Dvina River by the retreating Bolshevik forces. Therefore, when the American troops arrived one month later, they were immediately used in offensive operations to aid in the rescue of the Czech Legion. The British commanders sent the First Battalion of the 339th Infantry up the Dvina River and the Third Battalion of the 339th up the Vologda Railroad where they engaged and pushed back the Bolshevik forces for the next six weeks. 

However, these two fronts each became hundreds of miles (kilometers) long and were extremely narrow and difficult to supply, maintain, and protect. By the end of October 1918, they were no longer able to maintain the offensive and acknowledging their fragile situation and the rapid onset of winter, the Allies began to adopt a defensive posture. 

The Allied commanders soon also came to the realization that they would not be able to raise an effective local force of anti-Bolshevik soldiers. Thus they gave up their goal of linking up with the Czech Legion and settled in to hold their gains over the coming winter. During that winter, the Bolshevik army went on the o...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/21153a1c-7fde-45b3-8d87-609346257b55/c23fd1e4-311f-4bac-83bc-1be67292cc4c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/55WFoXoJM64jhJnsgCxhNR</video:player_loc><video:duration>1829</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:48:23.841Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/afWovCtT1qvvtBzDahqreD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/14b25b78-65d3-4593-951a-22140e12ea13.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s CHICAGO ILLINOIS  SANTA FE TRAIN TRIP &amp; CITY TOUR  46494</video:title><video:description>This film, Let's See Chicago presented by the Santa Fe Railroad to promote trans-continental travel. It (:08) takes viewers on a trip to Chicago from Los Angeles beginning at the Union Station in LA (:22). For eastbound travelers, this is where the trip begins using transcontinental streamline trains (:29). From the observation tower at the Board of Trade, we are viewing one of America's largest inland cities (1:49). During the gold rush, Chicago only hosted a few business blocks and roads of mud (2:03) yet, now was home to nearly 3 1\2 million and became the second largest populated cities in the western hemisphere (2:11). Due to the city’s geographical location, it achieved great industrial enterprises, merchant institutions, and markets for grain and livestock (2:07). The elevated railroad (2:40) would be replaced by subways around the ‘loop’ (refers to the city's business section). State Street includes the richest retail and trading area in the country. Along LaSalle Street (3:12) are many brokerage and banking offices. The Chicago Board of Trade had become the world’s principal grain market (3:21) and we see the city’s ticket offices of several railroad lines (3:36). Chicago, a fresh water port, sprang from Lake Michigan (3:50). Gazing westward from it, the city's skyline hangs over Michigan Blvd (4:02). In the city's front yard rests the Buckingham Memorial Fountain (4:24). Michigan Blvd also contains the Art Institute and the Opera Building (4:45). We see the Navy Pier (4:50) and the band shell in Grant Park (5:02). The Soldier’s Field (5:09) accommodates events such as sporting, military displays and police and fire shows. Adler Planetarium hosts astronomical exhibits (5:22) and the Field Museum of Natural History boasts natural habitats, resources, and various deep sea creatures (5:26). The city's history began in 1803, at the lakefront, and just south of its original location is Fort Dearborn (5:43). City transportation systems include the “L” and a ne...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4af82db7-fa6b-44c6-a447-68e71131b1bb/cd57a1bd-ec78-4df8-9076-a2087369655c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/afWovCtT1qvvtBzDahqreD</video:player_loc><video:duration>1399</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:51:13.128Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/g53D7KvX7r2iKCMsyjv7DJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8f28e671-afe2-4632-82a2-fba9aa5d1de3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MAKING OF U.S. AIR FORCE TRAINING FILMS &amp; SPECIAL EFFECTS BY 1365th PHOTOGRAPHIC SQUADRON  82524</video:title><video:description>This film “The Unique 65th”, tells the story of how special effects are made for U.S. Air Force training films by the 1365th Photographic Squadron. The film opens with a title over a rotating image of Earth (:11). A director calls cut and adjust’s the planets rotation (:30) as he is able to control the elements for space and on Earth, for motion picture purposes of course. With Solarama studio effects (:47) the director is able to create realistic qualities and depth. Another technique to be utilized is the blue screen projection (1:13) in which someone can be shot infront of and then the background will be blacked out creating a matte effect in black in white. From here any type of terrain or environment can be duplicated (1:27). The mission of this film's time period was to cover endeavors in South East Asia (2:05). Due to the number of cameramen sent overseas, there was a shortage of experienced technicians left behind (2:15) and the power squadron sought to pick up the slack and hosted a basic motion picture training program (2:24). One trainee from the program, the 1365 Photo Squadron in Orlando, will narrate his experience (2:32). He is one of 250 assigned to the squadron and from here they may go into a few different fields of study (2:47). They may learn processing, printing and be introduced to modern equipment in the laboratory (2:50). An example of such equipment is the electronic device used to achieve the best color balance (2:57). Trainees may learn proper assembly and editing procedures for complete motion pictures in the editorial branch (3:01). Others may learn sound production such as for recording the human voice, music or effects as well as the basics of sound projection (3:17). The Moviola, film laboratory, dubbing stage, and other facilities are shown. Trainees will also learn to operate console controls (3:20) and there will be four hours of classroom lessons daily (3:36). Experienced technicians will teach students how to utilize various c...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7a09ae90-f296-4d80-a235-7d8302c5260c/589ecc10-d6c4-4187-a19b-85ecc5275b72-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/g53D7KvX7r2iKCMsyjv7DJ</video:player_loc><video:duration>434</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:51:58.791Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iZdWkLZv6kLQERsdYSgpkD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a451ac79-4985-489a-ab49-0fbf0249091c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GETTELMAN BEER COMPANY MILWAUKEE  BREWERY HOME MOVIE 60254</video:title><video:description>This silent 16mm home movie was made by someone who worked for (or possibly even owned) the Gettelman Brewery in Milwaukee. The Gettelman Brewery was established on Milwaukee's west side in 1856, and was justly famous for its brews $1000 Beer and Milwaukee's Best. (The $1000 label was a guarantee: the brewery promised $1,000 to anyone who could prove that Gettelman didn't use anything but pure malt, hops and water.) Gettelman never cracked the top four of nationally known Milwaukee breweries; Miller, Pabst, Blatz and Schlitz, but Gettelman wasn't any less innovative. The brewery produced and sold beer. But it also made snowplows and Fritz Gettelman invented the steel keg in 1933. 
The brewery was known for its slogan "Get-Get-Gettelman," and was among the first in Milwaukee to advertise on television. 
A labor strike in 1953 hurt the company financially. When Fritz Gettelman died in 1954, his son Tom took over the brewery with his brother Fred as chairman of the board. Miller Brewing bought Gettelman in 1961 and operated it as a stand-alone brewery until about 1970. 

Home movie includes the following: 

1:00 Exterior shots of the brewery, showing loading areas and at :22, the front entrance with Gettelman sign. At :55, steel kegs are seen being rolled to a loading dock.  At :16 a delivery truck is seen. At 1:31, tasting of product is seen in a laboratory setting. At 2;24, beer is taken directly from the line and sampled, while at 2:40 raw hops are dropped into the vat. The bottle line is seen at 4:00. At 4:25 there is a dinner of some sort with the owner(?) possibly in attendance. At 4:43, picketers are seen on the property with AFL-CIO signs -- possibly this was shot in 1953 during the labor strike. At 5;14 a building with a Gettelman advertisement painted on it is seen. At 5:23 a new roof is added to the brewery and a nice panel truck is seen. At 6:20 it appears the brewery is to be expanded with construction going on. At 7:10 a fishing trip is undertaken -- t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/91a8b98a-4024-4f7f-bdbf-8f8bbe631c27/9e9674ca-8c8f-4a23-a959-e2b61cdd9d94-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iZdWkLZv6kLQERsdYSgpkD</video:player_loc><video:duration>517</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:52:30.739Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nZiDSTGyZrTEP1VRHJVZBF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/761ed8f3-c97f-4da1-bab2-4a8fff72bf74.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FIRST CAVALRY DIVISION IN VIETNAM  THE BIG PICTURE TV SHOW  56814</video:title><video:description>Produced by the Army Pictorial Center as part of The Big Picture TV show, this 1969 episode  “The First Cavalry Division (Airmobile)” is “the story of how air mobility is helping the First Air Cavalry, the ‘First Team,’ win the battle for freedom in Southeast Asia.” By 1965, helicopters are used for more than just transport; they are a crucial element of combat (01:01). Helicopters allow for fast and powerful mobilization, so it is only natural that the First Cavalry Division, renamed the First Cavalry Division Airmobile, is the is the first to use them in combat. Airmobile combat was developed and tested in Fort Benning Georgia and tried out by the experimental organization 11th Air Assault Division, prior to activation of First Cavalry 1 July 1965. The First Cavalry is deployed to Vietnam and sets up base set up at An Khe (03:07), also known as Camp Radcliff. The base is built around helipads (03:15), encircled by a clear-cut section, and reinforced with howitzer batteries (03:27) and machine gunners (03:37). For additional security, another force is posted on top of a mountain (03:59) overlooking the base. Other fixed-wing craft operate out of An Khe (04:09). The First Cavalry patrol a large range of territory in South Vietnam (04:53) featuring highlands and mountains. The first air assaults are launched in September and October of 1965, proving the usefulness of helicopters in combat. A CH-47 Chinook (05:36) transports men and equipment. Quick-firing howitzers (05:37) and aerial rocket artillery (05:44) give the Division a significant advantage in firepower over the North Vietnamese Army (NVA). Air superiority allows U.S. forces to retrieve damaged equipment—a CH-54 Tarhe hauls a cargo plane (06:23) off for repairs. Logistics are much more efficient with airmobile operations: troops are supplied in the field and wounded are evacuated (06:49) in minimal time. The first major engagement is the Pleiku campaign in Pleiku province (07:19). The NVA prepares for a m...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b2102f92-d271-4193-942b-71d242733f61/98a81dfd-1f49-47e7-9f1a-7a11a0d31481-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nZiDSTGyZrTEP1VRHJVZBF</video:player_loc><video:duration>1726</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:57:12.877Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mxWySRvWK8836Dv7Ahg9LR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f67029ca-b8bb-428a-b1cf-807db09a7df5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" BLADES OF GREEN "  ALFALFA &amp; GRASS PRODUCTION 1950s UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD AGRICULTURAL FILM 59164</video:title><video:description>This soil conservation film, “Blades of Green” promotes the production of grass and alfalfa for livestock. The film was sponsored by the Union Pacific Railroad and was presented by the Agricultural Development Department (:15).  

American bison once roamed the land by the millions (:23), yet due to increased population moving west the grass growing areas had shrank. This created a need for livestock to find food from man made irrigated pastures (:42). While hogs may have been good foragers (:52), dairy animals needed improved grazing fields (1:02). A diagram for production per acre and Total Digestible Nutrients (1:23) shows that these lands will produce 5,292 lbs of TDN’s and this will create 6,688 lbs of milk during grazing season. Hay will be cut and fed to livestock during winter and the same land provides pasture for grazing (1:49). Much of this land is reclaimed from marginal land or irregular hillside (2:00), and we see farmers terracing land to prevent wash away of soil and loss of moisture (2:06). The terrace will be seeded with appropriate grasses and become part of the productive land. Grass is necessary along highway embankments to prevent soil from washing into the road with rain (2:22). Western grasslands contribute largely to the total requirements of the country (2:44).  We see mature grass seed in Grand Rock Valley, Oregon nearly ready for harvest (2:58) and the method of roguing is used to eliminate off-types of plants and weed free grasses. The highest yield is in the first two years, and in successive years may decline (3:14). The seed should be harvested while in the hard dough stage; when heads are about to shatter (3:30). Binding (3:38) is a good method used and after bundles will be placed in loose sacks to be cured (3:51). Marianne Bluegrass is inspected by farmers (4:06). A mix of legumes and grass creates the most productive and nutrient rich pastures (4:19) and examples are Ladino clover and orchard grass (4:23) as well as tall fescue...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a66c7544-c32d-4995-a6b4-87d494cc98e1/85b0e8e6-e714-4858-8809-364d96392a1b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mxWySRvWK8836Dv7Ahg9LR</video:player_loc><video:duration>994</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T12:58:45.547Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6nR6sC6rqhpUWg7xBgvgEM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/95fbd506-8541-46d0-9340-7e3a594fe028.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"YANKEE NOODLE"  WARTIME INNOVATIONS &amp; IMPROVISATIONS IN THE FIELD  80964</video:title><video:description>War Film 50, an industrial incentive movie titled “Yankee Noodle” shows how and what the ‘American Noodle’ has been able to create in wartime and in peace. The first innovative example is a washing machine (1:37) crafted from old wheels, hacksaws, nuts, bolts and improvised tools that could be used anywhere. Next, we see an old grappling hook, ropes and grenade launcher being used to blow mines (1:53). Another example is how a parachute was used to help land a plane with only one wing safely (5:00). The confiscated footage follows (5:47) and the narrator informs it shows how the Japanese soldier was born and why the American worker “must keep making until the Jap empire is brought to it’s knees.” These pictures are from five years before the bombing of Pearl Harbor (6:13).Training begins at the Japanese equivalent to West Point (6:29), which can hold about 2,000 students. At age 14, the healthiest are chosen and of the many that will take exams perhaps one will be selected and move to a junior military academy (6:38). After two summers, they move into the final phase and the C.O. is pictured welcoming those who made it (6:57). They will work 17 hour days, seven days a week beginning at dawn and including practical excersizes (7:35) jiu jitsu (7:46) and in the classrooms will learn chemistry, trigonometry, history and languages including German, English and Russian (8:33). Eventually, students will specialize into fields such as the Calvary, armoured forces, engineering, artillery or to join the Imperial Air Force (9:46). After graduation ceremonies (10:18) they will spend 8 months in the ranks before becoming a lieutenant.
“What’s your name?” is the next segment from the Combat Film Unit (11:32). Here the focus is on the infantry men of the American Army (11:57). Included in their 17 weapons are grenades, machine guns, mortars, bazookas, a multitude of knives and more (12:42).

The trip originates from New York and goes to Warsaw (;40) and thence by rail to Bucharest and finally Constanza where "we embark on a steamer for the direct run to Haifa". Haifa is seen at 1:12 and the Pulaski at 1:20. At 1:57 Jewish tourists dance on the deck of the vessel. At 2:40, a Rabbi and Kantor G. Sirota of Warsaw are seen on deck as the sun goes down. Religious services are seen on the ship. At 4:30, Purim is shown celebrated in the streets of Tel-Aviv. At 4:48 the flag now affiliated with the state of Israel flies over the city. At 5:30 a parade of camels goes through the streets as part of the festival, followed by floats at 6:10. At 6:40 the harvest festival at Tel-Aviv is shown and school children bring green plants to celebrate the arrival of summer. At 7:50 the Levant Fair is shown and at 7:58 British officers are seen at the event. At 8:46 a local museum is shown.  The film ends with a special promotional message aimed at viewers -- "You too can now visit the land of your forefathers..."

SS Czar, or Царь in Russian, was an ocean liner for the Russian American Line before World War I. The ship was later known as Estonia for the Baltic American Line, Pułaski for the Gdynia America Line and as a British Ministry of War Transport troopship, and as Empire Penryn after World War II. The liner was built in Glasgow for the Russian American Line in 1912 and sailed on North Atlantic routes from Libau to New York. On one eastbound voyage in October 1913, Czar was one of ten ships that came to the aid of the burning Uranium Line steamer Volturno.

After the Russian Revolution, the ship came under the control of the British Shipping Controller and was managed by the Wilson Line and later, the Cunard Line. Under Cunard management in 1918 as HMT Czar, she was employed as a t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d1d37713-bb0b-473b-9cbf-14fea32d2047/09e5b123-c21c-4190-b3b1-9c8dac28a53d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rUMXyBni3Q5HJkKLHAsGtZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>596</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T13:00:10.800Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Israel in the 1930s</video:tag><video:tag>Palestine in the 1930s</video:tag><video:tag>Tel Aviv</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xA42bcTVGnNA22YArwfXUD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9cb43aac-9bb4-4803-a353-8a1ec1f43f50.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. MARINE CORPS 1960s AVIATOR TRAINING  RECRUITMENT FILM  33684</video:title><video:description>This film THE GOLDEN CHALLENGE centers around Larry Thornton (:47) the jet pilot and 23 year old from Arizona of the US Marine Corp. The film was made in 1966, in the early Vietnam War era,and shows the training regime for U.S. naval aviators and features F-4 Phantom flight operations aboard the USS Franklin Roosevelt CV-42.

As Larry begins to tell his story we are taken two years prior to the film and he is still in college unsure of his direction (1:13). After seeing an old friend whom had received his ‘golden wings’ he decides to try flight training (3:01).  The building of a Marine aviator begins in the classroom where the fundamentals will be learned for the T-34 aircraft (3:21). This aircraft was introduced in 1953 and was the American propeller driven, single engine, military training aircraft. Some of the challenges of the first flight are described as establishing mental and physical unity in the air as well as learning to land properly (4:38). Eventually flying improves and so does confidence so that the pilot is left alone without the instructor (5:22). Solo flight is considered the best way to learn to fly.
Additional training would include night flying (6:20), learning the techniques to land an aircraft carrier (6:27), and then actually landing onto a carrier (6:52). Specialized training, for some, will mean helicopter flight (8:10), one of the trickiest of all aircrafts to control (8:35). And for others, advanced training will mean jets (8:47). Flying is a highly complex science (9:05) involving aerodynamics, mathematics, physics, the engineering of each plane flown as well as tactics and a host of others tools. This pilot chose Marine Aviation as it would give him the best opportunity to land in a jet (9:42). One of the challenges of flying is maneuvering and formation in the air such as the split 5 and Cuban 8 (9:59). 
We see the science of flight in action as the same jet the Blue Angels used, the F11, flies across the sky (10:36).

The film features the GM PD-4501 Scenicruiser, operating from San Francisco to Washington, D.C., and follows the stories of several passengers — including the journey of a Boy Scout headed to Washington, a budding romance between two warm blooded passengers, and a mysterious man who just might be the "Unknown Soldier". 

The film is chock full of historical incidents including the discovery of gold in California at 5:20, to an Indian and cavalry battle that starts the film, and images of the Alamo at 16:00 and the Boston Tea Party at 23:00, and the Colonial Congress at 23:40.  Gettysburg is seen at 28:50, and there is a re-enactment of Abraham Lincoln's address at 30:55. The film ends with images of Washington, D.C. and the veteran's memorials at Arlington Cemetery including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. 

In addition it features imagery of the USA, including the bus riding through the Golden Gate at 4:10 and Market and Sutter streets at 5:20. The bus cruises to the route of the Pony Express at 10:00, and rides into Reno at 12:30. At 18:00 Chicago is shown, along with a re-enactment of the great fire that leveled the city (borrowed from a feature film). At 20:27 the Key West highway is shown. 

The GM PD-4501 Scenicruiser, manufactured exclusively by General Motors for The Greyhound Corporation, was a three-axle monocoque two-level coach used by Greyhound from July 1954 into the mid-70's. 1,001 were made between 1954 and 1956.
The Scenicruiser became an icon of the American way of life due to its presence throughout the USA in cities and along highways and popularity with the traveling public. The name was a portmanteau of the words "scenic" and "cruiser". The high-level design concept of Scenicruiser resembles some of the rolling stock of the passenger-carrying railroads of the Un...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3b8be218-8734-432e-91a8-9ebb532fd618/8abb876d-6b3f-424c-bdea-076edad0e061-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8mtDrzNAgdUfBaBpkQonv3</video:player_loc><video:duration>2142</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T13:07:55.411Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5oQPtVD8FSPpEU67ZZXoZT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c08c789a-3cfb-4c35-beca-af227082237d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BEDE BD-5 MICRO AIRCRAFT  PROMO FILM  "PIECES OF A DREAM"  25014</video:title><video:description>This film, titled “Pieces of a Dream” (:13) is about the Bede BD-5 micro. The company did unfortunately go bankrupt in the 1970’s and just a few kit versions of the aircraft were actually completed.  Bede produced a series of small compact aircraft in the 1960’s and the kit version was created in order for a customer to fly a plane that was less expensive than a car (:28). Classified as a bargain based plane (:47), it cost only a little more than $2,000! Construction was only to require simple tools found in one’s basement. 

The BD-5 was created by Jim Bede, longtime flyer (1:33), and his work staff. Before the micro plane would even fly, computer systems in Newton, Kansas would inform the staff what it would and would not be able to do (2:08). The craft is 13.3 feet long and 5 feet wide (2:29) with a wingspan of 14 ⅓ feet. The BD-5 had the ability to cruise over 1000 miles (2:36) and reach speeds over 200 mph with a 40 horsepower engine that required as little as 400 feet for a runway to take off (2:44). It’s stall speed was 60 mph.
These ‘peices of a dream’ included materials such as fuselage, tail, wings, engine, bolts, exhaust, propeller, compass and more (3:56). The dream was to not only give anyone with general flight knowledge the ability to fly but also to leave room for personal experimentation (6:07). For a single builder it would require several hundred hours to construct (6:12) and with only minor welding involved (6:21). It was meant essentially to go from box to sky as basic structures were preformed (6:33). 

Franchised dealers were placed all around the country to ensure the builders would never be wanting of assistance or help (8:16). In addition mock-ups were available and such precision was used in creation that parts became interchangeable; even between you and a fellow purchaser (9:37). On the occasion the builder did need more parts, they would be readily available for delivery in Newton, Kansas and each dealer had a direct line.

Triton was one of the largest submarines of its era and equipped with twin nuclear reactors. The circumnavigation of the world, codenamed Operation Sandblast, was conducted under the command of famous submariner Edward L. Beach.  This color film details life aboard Triton during that epochal trip, and shows its triumphant homecoming, including a visit from President Dwight Eisenhower.  Triton was to be used as a radar picket submarine, but problems related to its design meant that it was eventually relegated to use as a command vessel, and then ingloriously decommissioned a mere ten years after its first cruise. 

The actual submerged circumnavigation occurred between 24 February and 25 April 1960, covering 26,723 nautical miles (49,491 km; 30,752 mi) in 60 days and 21 hours at the average speed of 18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph) while crossing the Equator on four different occasions. Also, the total duration of Triton's shakedown cruise was 84 days 19 hours 8 minutes, covering 36,335.1 nautical miles (67,292.6 km; 41,813.7 mi), and Triton remained submerged for a total of 83 days 9 hours, covering 35,979.1 nautical miles (66,633.3 km; 41,404.0 mi) during her maiden voyage. The New York Times described Triton's submerged circumnavigation of the world as "a triumph of human prowess and engineering skill, a feat which the United States Navy can rank as one of its bright victories in man's ultimate conquest of the seas." 

Although official celebrations for Operation Sandblast were cancelled following the diplomatic furor arising from the shooting down of a CIA U-2 spy plane over the Soviet Union in early May 1960, the Triton did receive the Presidential Unit Citation with a special clasp in the form of a golden replica of the globe in recognition of the successful completion of its mission, and Captain Beach received the Legion of Merit for h...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/58edd05f-b65e-405a-b256-defec52a4293/e03643b0-5e70-4d11-a797-06e3f54602af-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bYVbHmDXtTk8HjD5B7M1EP</video:player_loc><video:duration>1599</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T13:13:33.253Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ocshtatUWQbbHwMjsLgJy4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1fd8cd18-f390-48e1-bca5-042924ee9c71.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM AIRLINES  WINGS TO JAMAICA 1960s TRAVELOGUE MOVIE   59874</video:title><video:description>Love our channel? Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm


Dating to the 1960s, this Pan American World Airways’ travel film "Wings To Jamaica"  highlights the tropical country and promotes the island’s tourism. The film opens with shots of scenic beaches and turquoise waters, over which a Pan Am jet flies on its descent to Jamaica. A variety of terrain (01:43), including beaches, mountains, and waterfalls, dominate Jamaica. Hotels offer luxury accommodations (02:25) on white sandy beaches (02:55). With views of the water, the accommodations along the north shore of the island are great for honeymoons as well as return visits. Hotels provide music (03:59) and elegant food to enhance the stay, and endless water activities await those who prefer to not lounge in the sun day after day. Jamaica is small enough to get around and explore, making it easy for tourists to drive around the island with minimal effort, visiting places like the Blue Lagoon (05:53) and tiny villages (06:13; 11:55) with vibrant colors and culture. Kingston (06:44) is the capital and largest city in Jamaica, where vendors sell coconuts (07:11) and artists (07:50) paint portraits on the bustling city streets. Students study at the University of West Indies (08:18), and the island’s original capital, Spanish Town (08:35), offers a glimpse of the old colonial dominance. Other places to visit are the Anglican Cathedral (08:57) and the Port Royal fortress (09:42). A water wheel on a sugar plantation (10:09) is a testament to the sugar empires that dominated the island a century before, but sugar is still the island’s most important agricultural product (11:30). Mining bauxite (10:44) and exporting bananas (11:40) are two of Jamaica’s other major industries. Bananas are transported down river on rafts, which are also used for rafting excursions down the Rio Grande (12:17). Visitors to Jamaica can discover an elegant nightlife with fine dining at a mountain inn, followed by entert...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b3c26e17-30b3-4209-8ce1-9b5b26195183/8c392457-b928-4f3b-9d23-02db1676562a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ocshtatUWQbbHwMjsLgJy4</video:player_loc><video:duration>1674</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T13:17:57.607Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8u4QAvXVpxMWc5NgKqKnUy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fb57ef6d-b033-43f6-995f-990210a6bb68.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL   RUSSIAN REVOLUTION   USS AKRON DISASTER  60064</video:title><video:description>This episode of “Yesterday’s Newsreel” is of from an early television series that drew on the holdings of the defunct General Newsreel Company. The first section is “1917-1938 Russia” the rise of the Reds. In March of 1917, the Romanov reign ends (:40) and the new Soviet is about to come into prominence with Nikolai Lenin (1:05). Kerensky's war policy was met with opposition as Lenin arrives from Switzerland (1:29). As turmoil brews, 80,000 Bolshevik party members turn out to support Lenin and Leon Trotsky (1:44). Joesph Stalin (1:55) was general secretary in 1917. Kerensky calls for a meeting at the All Russia Conference in the Bulshoi theater in Moscow where he accuses Lenin for inspiring anti-war propoganda (2:16). On November 17, 1917 a Bolshevik riot ensues at the Winter Palace (2:27). These are actual shots of Petrograd and Moscow (2:38) as it falls and the Bolsheviks mark their beginning of power. 
Petrograd was renamed as Leningrad as Lenin returns in October from Finland (2:48). Red flags fly over the Kremlin (3:00). From this point Communism and Sovietism join forces (3:26). In January of 1924, Lenin dies (3:33) and Stalin sees this as his opportunity. He then pushes Trotsky into exile for three years and then continues to pursue followers left behind in the government for years after (4:29). The segment ends with images of his well equipped armies marching in 1938 (4:31) as Stalin has risen to supreme command.
“1917 WW1 War Worker” centers around the woman worker climbing and cleaning chimneys during wartime (5:11).
“1921 Personalities” (5:41) begins with the English poet, journalist and novelist, Rudyard Kipling who wrote ‘Road to Mandalay’, among other works. He recieves the Doctorate of Literature degree from Sorbonne University in Paris.  Maybell Normand is pictured with Tommy Hitchcock (6:10). Her first big film was ‘Mickey’ in 1918. We also see famous composer, Victor Herbert in 1924 with Norma Talmage and Wallace Berman (6:31).

Made prior to the word "Internet" being well known, the film shows an "information age" where information must be moved, channeled, and interpreted. The film shows "new ways of talking, communicating and seeing", but in many ways its kaleidoscopic visual effects and ethereal soundtrack are creepy and foreboding rather than bright and cheery. At 3:10, a child is seen living in an "electronic world that their parents never knew". Using split screens and animation to show microwaves, satellites, undersea research, and computer mainframes and telephone switchboards, the film provides some insight into the 700 million mile circuitry system maintained by AT&amp;T. The film contains various imagery including an MRI machine at 8:00, air traffic control at 8:10, a computer mainframe at 8:22, and other control stations that are linked by telephone lines. At 10:54, children are seen interacting with a computer and audio teaching, and at 12:20 remote learning using television is shown. At 12:30 the AT&amp;T / Bell Labs are seen where research constantly continues into expanding the network.

The film begins in July 1944 as the troops relax at Honolulu and on Waikiki Beach. It then shows troops boarding transports and shows activities aboard a troop transport, including a wild Neptune ceremony at the Equator, en route to Guadalcanal for a practice landing in August. On Sept. 17, 1944  after a bombardment by ships and carrier planes the division begins a landing. The film contains many scenes of U.S. troops burning and blasting Japanese soldiers from their cave emplacements. Explains the tactics for securing "Suicide Hill." Shows Gen. Robert Richardson. The film ends with images of U.S. wounded being evacuated and receiving medical treatment, and exhausted or shell-shocked soldiers (at 26:30) taking some r&amp;r from combat. 

Summary: The 81st Wildcats reflect on their transition from training in Waikiki to a grueling combat mission during WWII. After a long sea journey filled with anticipation, they arrive off Guadalcanal for a dry run before moving on to the critical assault on Angaur Island in the Palau group. Facing fierce resistance from well-entrenched Japanese forces using caves, snipers, and mortars, the Wildcats endure heavy fighting to secure beachheads and key objectives like phosphate plants. Despite intense enemy attacks, including mortar strikes on their supply dumps, they gradually push inland, capturing strategic positions such as Shrine Hill and “Suicide Hill.” The successful operation marks their first major battle victory, solidifying their reputation and readiness for future combat challenges.

Denfeld and likely date to the mid to late 1950s. It's just possible that they are from 1950, when the subject of the film Admiral Denfeld was forced to retire due to his participating in the so-called "Revolt of the Admirals." 

The film begins in Hawaii where the sign for "Admiral L.E. Denfeld" is seen at 13:00. Admiral Denfeld led Battleship Division 9 in 1945, and was the commander of the Pacific Fleet in 1947. At 23:00 the headquarters for the Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet is seen. At 32 seconds Denfeld is shown walking outside the building although he does not appear to be in his normal uniform. At 50 seconds a group of men are seen but their faces are obscured (sad to say!)  At 1:14, views are seen of Waikiki Beach from what might be the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. At 1:55 another beach resort is visible. At 3:30, footage is seen from inside an airplane cockpit. What might be a blimp or dirigible hangar is visible at 4:27. At 7:00, a plane containing Admiral Denfeld arrives at the airport, and the Admiral comes off the plane wearing a pith helmet and carrying a rifle. He is greeted by a press photographer and family members. At 8:22 he poses at the steps of the airplane. The Admiral is once again seen at 9;20, this type with a group of unidentified Navy brass.

Louis Emil Denfeld (April 13, 1891 – March 28, 1972) was Chief of Naval Operations of the United States Navy from December 15, 1947 to November 1, 1949. He also held several significant surface commands during World War II, and after the war commanded the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Born in Westborough, Massachusetts, Denfeld graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1912.

The film shows how the disease can be detected, treated, and also prevented. It includes various footage shot in the field in China and Southeast Asia, showing the water and irrigation systems that help breed the parasite. At 4:48, women who are washing clothes in a river, and children bathing in a jungle pool, are susceptible to the disease. At 5:12, soldiers on bivouac are seen becoming exposed. At 6:30, a soldier exhibiting symptoms is examined by a doctor in a quonset hut examining room. At 9:49, the doctor presses on his stomach and liver/spleen to assess his pain level. At 12:28, a woman with a profound case of the disease is shown with her stomach greatly expanded. At 12:47, treatment is administered in the quonset hut hospital. Oleovitamin concentrate A&amp; D is shown in use along with other drugs. At 14:00, the film discusses prevention of the disease. At 14:30, school children are shown at a jungle village. Samples of blood are taken from various animals in the vicinity of the village to determine if they have worms or the presence of the disease. Rats are caught at 15:30 with Victor traps, to autopsy them and look for signs of the disease. Findings are documented and tissue samples examined under a microscope at 17:20. Snail shells which serve as hosts are seen at 18:20. At 18:58, calcium hypochlorite is added to water supplies to sterilize them. At 20:30, a sign is put up in the field warning that the "Japanese Blood Fluke is more dangerous than Japanese soldiers". At 21:18, water supplies are shown being chlorinated, and at 21:29 a military tent is shown.

It begins with Tom Hale announcing it is “the television highlights of the news of yesteryear” (:13). The film starts in 1920, the first World War had ended, yet as specified by the Treaty of Versailles (:50) Allied troops remained to patrol waters. These are actual shots of the American Marines policing water ways between Germany and France. Nine years later,  the watch has ended (1:18) as English troops leave Konigstien (1:24) in June of 1920. The American sector of the watch was in Koblenz, Germany (1:57) and President Harding began returning troops home as early as 1922. We then see Marshal Joffe innocently delivering ‘the kiss of death for lasting peace in Europe and the world’ (2:47). French guards also began to parade back to Paris (2:53) as responsibility falls back upon Germany. The last troops leave and return home in June of 1930 (3:00). While President Hindenberg was hailed as  rightful ruler (3:20), Adolf Hitler, Rudolph Hess, and Hermann Goring (3:58) of the Nazi Party, were growing in power. The segment ends with the foreboding notion that as they ‘stopped the Rhineland watch, they set the clock for war’ (4:06), alluding to the upcoming Second World War. Our next segment from 1920 is titled “Walking Doll” (4:12). It is the latest craze in London; a large walking doll enabled to walk with secretive metal strings in it’s legs. Tom Hale narrates “Holiday for Strings” (4:51). In 1935, at the Hollywood Bowl in LA with a orchestra of 700 violenes playing for Labor Day. Tom Hale narrates the “Personalities” section for 1925 (5:59) and first is young Stribling and his wife. She is Clara Kinney and his manager as he is an important boxer, yet had not won a fight.

At 1:36 the bride arrives at church and poses with her father on the way in. At 1:49 she and the happy groom are doused with rice and at 1:58 you'll see a great shot from inside the wedding sedan as the bride boards. This is followed by a parade of groomsmen and bridesmaids, all in formal clothes of the era. At 3:15 the film resumes with a parade of men in tuxedos boarding a sedan. At 3:43 a young girl looks pensively into the camera's lens (wonderful shot!) At 3:57, another bride descends the stairs of a modest home and heads towards a car, arriving at church at 4:14. At 5:00 there are shots inside the beautiful church of the ceremony, albeit a bit dark owing to the lighting conditions. At 6:00 there is a scrum of people outside the church as the happy couple comes out -- and is pelted with rice. At 6:29 the wedding car leaves the scene, draped with toilet paper. At 6:50 the happy family waves goodbye.

At 7:00, a young child -- probably progeny of one of the two couples we saw earlier -- is shown being fed. At 8:13, baby is busy crawling and tasting things with her mouth. At 10:26 the family dog is shown, and at 10:33 baby says hello to a friend. At 11:54 mommy coos to baby on the bed. The very end of the film at 14:30 contains early color footage of baby, who seems to be having a very merry time sucking on her finger.

The film begins with an underwater launch of a Polaris missile (00:38). The crew aboard the FBM submarine engages in a dive maneuver (01:35). These submarines have a crew of 100 men and 12 officers. Every officer has the technical and command experience necessary to take the submarines on 60-day patrols. Every crew member plays a critical role. In the navigation center (02:41), electronic technicians and communication specialists keep the submarine on course. In the missile compartment (02:53), sixteen Polaris missiles stand ready. Other jobs on the submarine are the radioman (03:14) who’s the sub’s only contact with the outside world, the hospital foreman, the yeoman who writes the ship’s reports, and the store keeper who tracks 30,000 line items and manages food stores. Despite being out to sea for so long, FBM crews eat well (04:30). When on shift, crew members wear the new FBM uniform—Dacron coveralls, which minimize lint and protect the sub’s atmosphere. The sub’s atmosphere is constantly monitored (05:20), and oxygen is extracted from the seawater outside as needed. The submarine spends little time at port because it is manned by two crews. When one crew is at sea, the other is training at New London, Connecticut (06:06). The crew stays busy while on patrol, between shifts, chores, playing games, and even taking extension courses from Harvard University. The FBM submarine’s vital mission is preventing war, so the crew must be ready at all times. They train with test runs regularly, such as a battle station missile test (08:20). The FBM submarine with the Polaris missile the U.S. Navy’s primary deterrent in the Cold War.

The series presented original newsreel footage with a contemporary narrative.  This episode begins with the segment “1933 Men Behind the President” (:44) and it shows FDR’s white house staff of 1934. Beginning with the President (:48) among his crew and then to Ed Starling (:58) of the secret service. Following is Francis Robinson, the presidential chauffeur (1:08) and Nick Jarvis, (1:13) the Chief of White House Secret Service Men. Jay May White; the doorman and barber whom had ‘shaved every President since Taft’ (1:23) opens the door for Ike Hoover whom was the chief usher for a quarter of a century (1:31). Inside we see Doc Smithers (1:41) the chief White House stenographer, and Louise Hoffmeister (1:54) the top telephone operator at the White House switchboard, and the White House Secretary and former newsman, Stephan Early (2:24). We will then see some of the members of FDR’s ‘brain trust’ including economist Rexford Tugwell (2:43), whom was the advisor on farm and labor issues in America. Raymond Moley (2:43) was one of the leading members whom assisted in general government policy. Among the earliest members were Adolf Berle (3:03) and longtime friend and advisor along the campaign trail, Louise Howe (3:30). This segment ends with Gus Gennerich (4:04), Roosevelt’s personal body guard.

MAX SCHMELING BOXING MATCHES  83854</video:title><video:description>This film shows two fights between Joe Louis the "Brown Bomber" and Max Schmeling. The first fight between Louis and Schmeling took place on June 19, 1936, at the famous Yankee Stadium in Bronx, New York, and was one of the greatest upsets in boxing history. The referee was the legendary Arthur Donovan, and the stadium was sold out. The bout was scheduled for fifteen rounds. By round twelve, Schmeling was far ahead on the judges' scorecards. Finally, he landed a right to Louis' body, followed by another right hand, this one to the jaw. Louis fell near his own corner, and was counted out by Donovan. This was Louis' only knockout defeat during his prime: the only other knockout happened when Rocky Marciano knocked Louis out fifteen years later. By then, Louis was considered a faded champion and Marciano a rising star.

The Louis-Schmeling rematch (at 4:15 in the film) came on June 22, 1938 – one year from the day Louis had won the world Heavyweight title. At the time the fight had enormous racial implications and as the narrator explains, German chancellor Adolf Hitler had celebrated Schmeling's surprise victory over Louis. The fighters met once again in a sold-out Yankee Stadium in New York City. Among the more than 70,000 fans in attendance were Clark Gable, Douglas Fairbanks, Gary Cooper, Gregory Peck, and J. Edgar Hoover. The fight drew gate receipts of $1,015,01.

Referee Arthur Donovan stopped action for the first time just over one minute and a half into the fight after Louis connected on five left hooks and a body blow to Schmeling's lower left which had him audibly crying in pain. After sending Louis briefly to his corner, Donovan quickly resumed action, after which Louis went on the attack again, immediately felling the German with a right hook to the face. Schmeling went down this time, arising on the count of three. After connecting on three clean shots to Schmeling's jaw, the German fell to the canvas again, arising at the count of two. With Schmeling ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/248db8da-d5b0-411a-9658-c70691bfc0df/00a44452-d907-47ec-87eb-d9f055c9ba45-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5vNpuxgXLDB7vREtYQLpQB</video:player_loc><video:duration>507</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T13:34:41.878Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6PmhkezoHudcDkg7LxMqDJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ceca5a23-6ab2-4a9e-b707-884ae0fdf5b1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY  FLIGHT SURGEON  AVIATION MEDICINE   KOREAN WAR ERA FILM 23924</video:title><video:description>This film by Willard Pictures Inc., U.S. Navy Flight Surgeon, was made in 1951. This picture centers around naval flight surgeons; detailing the training requirements and what daily duties may be. It opens with the view of Corsair airplanes landing on an aircraft carrier.  We watch as another plane crashes due to pilot error (:58) and are asked what the surgeon could have done to inhibit the crash. The US Navy’s slogan is to “keep as many men at as many guns for as many days as possible” (1:09) and here is where our surgeon comes in. Their job will be different in that they must become experts on the effects of flying on pilots. The film guides us to the beginning of the road at the Aviation School at Pensacola (1:58). The school being a US Naval base near Pensacola and Warrington, Florida and the primary training base for Marine Corps as well as Coast Guard. At school, students must learn to adapt their trade to the special circumstances of flight in which the lungs, circulatory system, vision and heart will behave differently at high altitudes and accelerations (2:18). Much of the equipment used is depicted such as the diluter demand oxygen regulator (2:35) which is designed to deliver undiluted oxygen under positive pressure. Before the students are able to graduate; in addition to the practical and theoretical knowledge learned, they will also have to fly. This will give them the well rounded approach necessary to understand what pilots will face daily. Then (3:54) the students will receive their wings, a symbolic pin received upon graduation. From school, we are shown the directions the graduate may take.  At the time planes were just surpassing the speed of sound (4:45) and the study of acceleration may be one of those directions. They may be assigned to a lighter than air station or to test equipment, run experiments perhaps with a centrifuge (5:11). While in use the centrifuge tests the reaction and tolerance of pilots at greater accelerations than experi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2f1a2642-d905-40a3-b41a-3d661f952d64/1a5d29b2-b5f5-467e-bb63-913214962c9a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6PmhkezoHudcDkg7LxMqDJ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1395</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T13:38:32.161Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aibXvXA2S9dtaYRU1DYRPW</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7c4852cb-c0af-4f2e-a479-c9e41bc1bdba.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM AIRLINES 1940s CARIBBEAN TRAVELOGUE  OVERNIGHT TO NASSAU  46974</video:title><video:description>"Overnight To Nassau" is a 1940s promotional film by Pan American World Airways, marketing the short flight times on Pan Am’s fleet of DC-3 Clipper Ships to a variety of destinations. In this film, Pan Am boasts that a trip around the Caribbean is now “as close to your home as your Sunday afternoon picnic ground” with the clipper ship. However, the plane shown in this film is Pan Am’s DC-3 (the DC-3 fleet operated 1937-1948). People board Pan Am’s DC-3 (00:18) in preparation for a flight to Nassau. After takeoff (00:39), travelers are treated to aerial views of Miami (00:55), Miami Beach (01:22), and, finally, the Bahamas (02:30) and Nassau (03:10). After only seventy minutes of flight time, the plane lands. The film takes viewers on a quick tour of Nassau, starting off with visits to Fort Fincastle (03:55), the scenic coast (04:15), Nassau’s harbor (04:40), and a market. Viewers see locals weaving hats (05:56). The old streets of Nassau (05:27) still have its old-world charm, complete with horse-drawn carriages. Vibrant flora and fauna (05:50)—such as Poinciana, oleander, bougainvillea, and passion flowers—adorn the island. There are a number of excellent hotels to stay at, including the British Colonial Hotel (06:54) in Harbor Front Gardens and Hotel Montague (07:20). At the beautiful Paradise Beach (07:28), visitors enjoy the water and sands, and participate in a number of activities, ranging from swimming and sailing (08:11) to racing flamingo class boats. Golfers enjoy the greens at the Bahamas Country Club (09:00), but most of the island’s activities are on the water. Waterskiing is growing in popularity (09:41); the sport’s pioneer, D’Arcy Rutherford, skis through Nassau’s canals and demonstrates skiing a slalom course (10:43). Deep sea fishing expeditions (11:10) for marlin are another favorite pastime, though reeling in a marlin (11:58) is tough work. At the village of Adelaide (13:55), visitors can see the ruins of the island’s plantations and slave hut...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4b48a506-a944-4eb8-9c82-34ab71346050/78fb7506-2f9e-47ca-9b60-d9d5d1ded1f0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aibXvXA2S9dtaYRU1DYRPW</video:player_loc><video:duration>1279</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T13:41:38.053Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2a1AKbKYM93Pr6Fxjn1CYa</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/87209027-7841-4482-b82e-64dc299a6a2d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM AIRLINES USSR  SOVIET UNION  COLD WAR TRAVELOGUE  42344</video:title><video:description>USSR is a promotional film from Pan American World Airways, produced and directed by Henry Strauss (most likely in the late 1960s), that encourages tourism to the Soviet Union by taking viewers on a visual tour of a number of the republics and their cities. The film opens with footage of Moscow’s Red Square as the narrator recaps the famous rulers, writers, and musicians from the Russia’s past. The size of the USSR, with its diverse climate and people, make it a destination unlike any other. The tour begins in Kiev, with the Pechersk Monastery (03:15), also known as the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, which features catacombs that are over 800 years old. Other highlights of Kiev include Sophiyska Square and its Hetman Bohdan Khmelnitsky Monument (03:38), Saint Sophia’s Cathedral (03:44), Kiev’s city skyline (04:01), and a bridge over the Dnieper River (04:08). In the east of the Soviet Union is the ancient city of Tashkent; the Uzbek republic is predominantly Muslim, and worshipers pray on the streets of Tashkent (04:20). Tashkent’s Old Quarter (05:35) is a great place to visit, but the modern areas of the city (06:00) have their own treasures, such as the Navoi Opera Theater (06:14). The next stop is Moscow, where the famed Red Square separates several of the country’s top highlights, like the Kremlin (06:18), St. Basil’s Cathedral (07:01) and its square (06:42). The city of Riga features old-but-aesthetic buildings (07:30), but more ornate buildings are found in Leningrad (08:18). Formally known as St. Petersburg (08:01), this city is home to the Russian Museum (08:24), the Hermitage Museum (08:32)—which features works from da Vinci, El Greco, van Gogh, Matisse, Renoir, and Picasso—and the Winter Palace (09:08) filled with the riches of the Romanovs. Viewers see scenes of streets, train stations, and children before the film returns to Uzbekistan, where children learn traditional dances (11:48) and men harvest cotton from the Fergana Valley (12:48). Farming is a p...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/095b33a6-d238-40cd-8ac6-15b2cba81399/fea97b73-f09b-4ddd-9d1c-9498f263e5bb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2a1AKbKYM93Pr6Fxjn1CYa</video:player_loc><video:duration>1957</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T13:43:04.673Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Pan Am Airlines</video:tag><video:tag>Soviet Union</video:tag><video:tag>USSR</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pWEGQ1dVywCRGKzVYacuuf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/09835d5f-0d2c-498e-93a8-828f5bfe1de5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ARMY NAVY SCREEN MAGAZINE 44   27 SOLDIERS  AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE  57144</video:title><video:description>This episode of the Army Navy Screen Magazine features three segments. The first TWENTY SEVEN SOLDIERS shows the various ethnicities and nations making up the Allied Army. The second is a profile of the AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE which provides medical care and transportation in support of the British. The third BY REQUEST features the city of Chicago as well as a song sung by Carol Bruce.

Designed to promote racial harmony and understanding in wartime, TWENTY SEVEN SOLDIERS shows the cooperation between twenty seven different nations and ethnicities to defeat the Axis in Italy.  Road signs are shown in some of the 12 languages used by Allied armies at the front, and many wonderful shots of American, British, Indian, Australian, New Zealand, Canadian, Free French, Free Yugoslavs, Free Dutch, Free Polish, and other armies.  Soldiers from many different nations are seen with jeeps, and with different types of food ranging from corn beef hash to spaghetti.  Different faiths are also shown at the front lines.  The question is asked, how did they all get welded into one fighting force?  

During WWII, American men who weren't deemed fit for service in the U.S. Armed Forces would sometimes sign up with the American Field Service.  Volunteers would see action as litter bearers and ambulance drivers, just as Americans like Earnest Hemingway had during World War I.This short shows the many places that the AFS sent its volunteers.  Including Burma, where they encountered elephants and underdeveloped villages. They built defenses with British soldiers, and were attacked by the Japanese just like their British counterparts.

The film looks at the future of mining, including the development of efficiencies to keep mines in business. Open pit mining techniques are shown, with a focus on the Southwest. At 2:00, Bingham Canyon and the Utah Mining Company pit (also known as the Kennecott Copper Mine) is seen. At 2:40, various open pit mines are seen which use either trucks or trains to remove ore. Although they are not named, it's likely that one of them is the Phelps-Dodge mine at Bisbee, Arizona. At 5:40, exploratory core drilling is shown. At 6:30, exploration programs are shown including at 6:43, an engineering team that maps mine development. Various drill systems are seen at 9:00, including the rotary drill. At 10:30, preparations are seen towards using explosives with the burying of dynamite and detonators for excavation. At 12:12, loading of explosives is seen with an emphasis on safe handling. At 14:51, a cage drill is shown in use allowing rocks to be drilled in the field (without being moved by shovels) for explosive removal. At 16:00, a small 4.5 yard bucket shovel is shown being used to move blast debris. At 16:00, a 6-yard loading shovel is seen. At 17:49, overburden waste from the pit is loaded on a train so that it can be moved and dumped at a remote area.  At 18:50, a 13-yard shovel is seen in use with a large truck also in use. As the narrator explains, these large size equipment is needed to lower unit costs of copper, and are an economic necessity given the modern financial conditions. At 19:52, the motorized wheel principle of new types of mining trucks is seen, and the narrator comments that next generation trucks will carry over 100 tons of ore.  At 22:55, a grader is seen working the mine roads, and the narrator comments about how tires wear out so quickly on the job that t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/535a5da2-3c6f-4e40-bef1-6abf343e03a2/64093f7c-0968-4c12-ace6-3653d39624a4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bhYVqnQmUTZN27dMigFJnh</video:player_loc><video:duration>2272</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T13:50:48.068Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t6jNw3Uh9S7uQ5634bPgFf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/26603aae-103b-4edd-aa14-9c32b753e347.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM WINGS TO ITALY   1960s TRAVELOGUE  ROME  VENICE  CAPRI  47554</video:title><video:description>Wings To Italy is a Pan American World Airways promotional video from the 1960s. Produced by Vision Associates, the film opens with shots of Roman ruins (00:28) and the Colosseum (01:29) before taking viewers on a tour of Italy, beginning in Rome. A panoramic shot of Rome (03:30) shows the size of the city and its unique skyline. St. Peter’s Square and Basilica (03:42) is the first place the film visits, before taking viewers to other historical points of interest, including: Victor Emmanuel II Monument (04:10), Castel Sant’Angelo (04:16), Capitoline Hill (04:20), Spanish Steps (04:24), Fountain of Neptune (04:27), and Trevi Fountain (04:31). 
Rome’s modern places worth visiting range from bustling streets (04:43) lined with cafes and shops, and top-rated restaurants. Visitors to Rome can take in an evening of opera amid Roman ruins, such as Giuseepi Verdi’s Aida at the old Roman baths of Caracalla (05:46). Da Meo Patacca (06:22) is an outdoor restaurant that takes up an entire city square and features a festive mix of food, wine, singing, and dancing. The island of Sardinia is the next stop. The island (07:30) with its beautiful beaches and rugged landscapes is also home to fine works of art. Weavers use traditional looms (08:08) to make beautiful rugs, while artists create sculptures (08:19) out of metal; the famous sculptor Franco d’Aspro (08:45) works in bronze in his studio. At the fishing villages of Sardinia (09:04), visitors are welcome and often join fishermen on their fleet for an experience of a lifetime. The highlight of southern Italy is the Amalfi Coast with its famous Amalfi Drive (10:08), a stretch of road that takes visitors past seaside cliffs and small towns. The regions main towns (Naples, Sorrento, Amalfi, and Capri) capture a tranquil and romantic atmosphere (11:51) beloved by residents and visitors alike.

This well made 16mm silent home movie was made by an unknown American tourist. It contains title cards documenting a trip across Italy. The film unfolds with beautiful imagery of Rome, from the picturesque hilltown of Trevi, through Venice, to the Dolomite mountain range. Each location that appears in the film is introduced by a text card. 

The silent film starts by introducing the picturesque hilltown of Trevi in "Rome to Venice" (0:08). It then moves to the garden at Fonti del Chilunno, where the Italian poet Carducci wrote 'Umbria Verdi' (0:27). Father Leonard guides us through the monastery of St. Francis at Assizi (0:54). San Marino, a quaint principality, showcases a lively castle auction (1:31). A herd of cattle rest in a field (1:52). At (2:31) a humble neighborhood restaurant, the Albergo, with Cinzano signs is shown.  At (3:11) docks or a port with a lighthouse visible in the background. 

Venice appears as its buildings rise from the sea (4:21). Landmarks like the Basilica of St. Anthony of Padua (4:04), San Moise (4:06), and the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore (4:19) are featured. St. Mark’s Square, known for its splendor and calmness, is shown (4:27). Detailed text cards explain the Ambrogio Delle Ancore statue (4:48-5:19), the Golden Stair and palace (5:41), the Basilica's facade (5:53), mosaics (6:06), and the Campanile (6:16). The Bridge of Sighs (7:30), leading to Venice’s Grand Canal (7:47) and concluding with a twilight view of the Lido (8:20).

The film continues through the Dolomites (9:13), passing the Brenner Pass sign and the Hotel Vittoria Bolzano (10:42).

Before that is a long Pan Am leader.

Pan American Airlines’ short promotional film Israel, directed by famed filmmaker Andre de LaVarre, presents a marketing campaign for Pan Am vacations. The film begins with a Pan Am travel agent assisting a customer with finding a trip, and the customer selects a brochure for Israel. Over the credits are images of a Pan Am four-engine airplane, probably a DC-4. The film then cuts to scenes of the Negev Desert (02:25), followed by shots of Be’er Sheva (02:46). Bedouin men and women get water from this small town, and they buy or sell food at its market. Outside the ancient ruins of Ashkelon (03:43), a shepherd tends to his flock (03:21). In Jerusalem, the viewer is treated to scenes of the narrow streets in the old city (03:59). Visitors can visit the Tomb of King Herod (04:29) and the catacombs of the Sanhedrin (04:46). North of Jerusalem, on the coast, sits Akko (05:00), an old crusader city. Moving east, the film takes viewers to Mt. Carmel (05:11), Nazareth (05:27)—with its famed Mary’s Well (05:41)—and then to the River Jordan (05:50), where flows into the Sea of Galilee (05:55). Religious sites dominate northern Israel: there is Cana (06:07), where Jesus performed his first miracle; and the shore (06:16) on the Sea of Galilee where Jesus multiplied the loaves of bread and baskets of fish. The ancient ruins of Capernaum (06:41) are also located on the Sea of Galilee. The film then goes back to Jerusalem with a shot of the King David Hotel (07:18), before taking viewers to Israel’s Mediterranean Riviera (07:52), with its sandy beaches and tropical-like waters. Israel’s booming port in Haifa (09:01) is indicative of the country’s booming population. Industries work to keep up with the growing population’s demands. While some Israelis live in urban centers, others choose to follow in the footsteps of the early Jewish settlers and live on a kibbutz (10:11), a communal farm cooperative. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8ec2036a-6caa-43a7-a97c-7d8d9173c56a/db365329-739a-44c6-8e67-bc24a3b94653-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iCrLzeJ2YfczP2VPDBS4gY</video:player_loc><video:duration>823</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T13:52:41.715Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oHdvsC6PEsKUUdsmPTyXQd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/00e30077-9a0a-43cf-bc60-a99811129c7e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1933-34 CENTURY OF PROGRESS  CHICAGO WORLD'S FAIR  HOME MOVIE 59884</video:title><video:description>This silent 16mm home movie shows a visit to the 1933-34 Chicago World's Fair also known as the Century of Progress. A Century of Progress International Exposition was a World's Fair registered under the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), which held in Chicago, as The Chicago World's Fair, from 1933 to 1934 to celebrate the city's centennial. The theme of the fair was technological innovation. The fair's motto was "Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Adapts". Its architectural symbol was the Sky Ride, a transporter bridge perpendicular to the shore on which one could ride from one side of the fair to the other.

Some of the sights shown include the Indian Village at 1:52, the Ford pavilion at 1:37, the General Motors pavilion at 1:40, the Sky Ride at 1:50, Fort Dearborn at 2:10, Standard Oil pavilion, steam locomotives on exhibit at 3:00, pottery exhibition at 3:20,  the Enchanted Island kids railway at 4:30, a car ride at 4:45, Pan Am Sikorsky S-42 flying boats at 5;14 -- including a ride over the fair and city at 5:20. At about 6:30 it looks like the plane ride has ended and you're seeing views from the Sky Ride, as the image is remarkably stable. But the altitude doesn't seem right?  Belgium exhibit at 8:50. Ice skating show at 9:40 including barrel jumping.  The Dutch pavilion is at 10:50, and Admiral Byrd's South Pole ship is seen at 11:00. At 11:30, the robotic dinosaurs that amazed visitors are seen. 

 Century of Progress was organized as an Illinois nonprofit corporation in January 1928 for the purpose of planning and hosting a World's Fair in Chicago in 1934. City officials designated three and a half miles of newly reclaimed land along the shore of Lake Michigan between 12th and 39th streets on the Near South Side for the fairgrounds.[2] Held on a 427 acres (1.73 km2) portion of Burnham Park, the $37,500,000 exposition was formally opened on May 27, 1933 by US Postmaster General James Farley at a four hour ceremony at Soldier Field.[3][4] The...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b7ea40dc-912f-4734-9e4d-8acff278bf38/58640195-e138-499c-b407-bf4c8ea38ecc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oHdvsC6PEsKUUdsmPTyXQd</video:player_loc><video:duration>746</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T13:54:28.984Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tgFf2F8nsJHn4FPEB1hvha</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/103ebe96-a3a5-45ec-88ac-f8f8d375ec9d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1950s HAWAII TRIP HOME MOVIE with MAUNA LOA VOLCANO ERUPTION 59754</video:title><video:description>This silent 16mm home movie shows a trip to Hawaii around 1950. It starts with a cruise aboard a sailboat. The film begins at sea aboard the boat, in fair seas (:57). At 1:06 a sextant is used to locate position, while at 1:15 a woman takes the wheel. At 2:26, a group of tourists pose in leis, and at 3:45 the group takes a break for a drink. At 4:11 the captain is seen lashing his guests with a whip (!) while the boat rides at anchor. Starting at about 5:00, you will see a silent, commercially made movie of the eruption of the Mauna Loa volcano. At 8:30 the home movie footage resumes with imags of a large tall ship at anchor in Honolulu harbor, the Nippon Maru.  At 9:00, a placid beach is shown on the edge of the jungle. At 11:26, a native girl is shown selling necklaces. The film ends with shots of sailboats at sea.

Nippon Maru shown in the film is a Japanese museum ship and former training vessel. She is permanently docked in Yokohama harbor, in Nippon Maru Memorial Park. She was built by Kawasaki Shipbuilding Corporation in Kobe, and was launched on 27 January 1930 alongside her sister ship Kaiwo Maru. She was operated by the Tokyo Institute for Maritime Training to train officers for Japan's merchant marine. At the beginning of World War II, her sailing rig was removed and she served as a training and postwar transport motorship. In 1952, her rig was reinstalled and she resumed her training voyages until she was replaced in September 1984 by her successor, also named Nippon Maru.

The Muana Loa eruption shown in the film began on May 29, an island-shaking magnitude-6.4 earthquake occurred beneath Mauna Loa’s west flank. Sixty-four hours later, at 9:04 p.m., HST, on June 1, the eruption began, with fissures opening at the summit and uppermost Southwest Rift Zone of the volcano.

The fissure eruptions quickly spread down rift—from 3,845 to 3,350 m (12,600 to 11,000 ft) elevation—sending floods of lava to the west and southeast.

The “tour”  begins in its capital city, Ottawa, Ontario with footage of the Peace Tower (also known as the Tower of Victory and Peace) of the Houses of Parliament (01:15). A Royal Mounted Police officer stands on the steps of the parliament building (01:24). Inside the Peace Tower is the Memorial Chamber—a memorial to the Canadians who died in the Great War—and the Book of Remembrance (01:28). An aerial shot of the city (01:43), Rideau Hall (01:48), the U.S. Embassy (01:51), and the world-renowned hotel Chateau Laurier (01:54).

CP&amp;LT was  an 8-mile (13 km) Class III short-line railroad operating in the Sierra Nevada in California, east of Sacramento. It was built primarily to haul lumber from the El Dorado National Forest. The standard gauge line ran east for 8 miles (13 km) to Camino from a connection with the Placerville Branch of the Southern Pacific Company at Placerville. 

One of the unique features of this steam railroad was that it utilized a cable (seen at :52) to move lumber to the Michigan-California Lumber Company across the American River from the Pino Grande Mill on the north side to the Camino Mill on the south side of the river.  It was installed in 1901 and was in operation until 1949. According to the Sierra Logging Museum, the distance of the cable over the river was 2,650 feet (other sources say 2814 feet) and it was about 1,200 feet from the the cable to the river below. 

The narrow gauge railroad took the rough cut lumber from the mill to a tower on the north side where the carriage was loaded, moved across the gorge and unloaded in a tower on the opposite side onto the narrow gauge railroad which took it to the mill in Camino. The system of railroads and the cable system over the river ended up successfully getting cars loaded with lumber down the mountain and over the river to where they could be moved by locomotives to the mill at Camino.

The film is part of the Ford Motor Co.'s "Americans At Home" series, and is narrated by journalist Joseph March and was directed by Larry Madison. The film shows a modern portrait of cattle ranching in the West, showcasing the difficulties of raising animal herds in tough environmental conditions. The film begins with the journalist arriving in Gunnison by steam train, and then picked up by Gus in a Ford pick-up truck. The film lovingly and respectfully shows the homestead ranch. 

For promoted the film this way: " Today's American Cowboy is very. different from the popular conception of the gun-toting cowhand of the early West. How he really works, lives, and plays is portrayed against the romantic background of the rugged Western range. Filmed in the heart of the Rocky Mountain empire, this lively documentary takes the viewer to Gunnison, Colorado — to the homestead of the Roberson Hereford Ranch. Here you will thrill to the excitement of the round-up, brand ing, life in the bunkhouse, the drive to summer pastures high in the Rockies, the rodeo, and winter feeding in raging blizzards."

Interestingly, according to film historian Rick Prelinger, this film was intended to promote the Ford brand without employing explicit advertising and was produced with only a loose script, over the course of a year. The Americans at Home series strove to record American life without excessive scripting.

The film features a man and a woman discussing their respective trips to Hawaii while sitting in a Pan Am plane, with scenes of their adventures in Hawaii. The woman loves the family-friendly nature of Hawaii. Waikiki Beach offers beautiful views from the surf, and aerial views of the beach are just as spectacular (07:42). Surfing at Waikiki (00:24; 01:44) was one of the highlights for her boys. The man recommends a trip to Makaha (02:22) to see the big surf, where the International Surfing Championships are held, with its thirty-to-forty-foot waves. Hula lessons (08:15) are a popular activity for tourists, as is learning to do flower arrangements, taking in fashion shows, and shopping for souvenirs. The two discuss highlights of visiting other islands. On the big island of Hawaii, popular sights and activities are: deep sea fishing off the coast of Kona (04:15) and weighing the marlin (05:15); scouting for fish in a plane and taking in the aerial views of the coast, valleys, and rivers (06:21); enjoying the black sand beach at Kalapana (17:50) just south of Hilo; and visiting Hawaii National Park (14:00) with its active volcanoes (15:15). Maui also has its volcanic attractions, including views of the caldera (15:50) and lava flows (16:56) at Pu’u Naue in Haleakala National Park. Lahaina, Maui (19:32) is another highlight of the island, giving tourists the chance to observe a communal fish harvest (19:55). An authentic luau (21:10) with the kalua (traditional method of cooking a pig in an imu—and underground oven) is not to be missed. The man and woman discuss a few other events that really stuck out for them, including the Kodak show with Tahitian dancing (12:28; 12:54), Bill Irwin’s painting (18:40), a comedy hula performance (22:45), and a Samoan knife dance (23:44).

At the start of the film the new, high tech AWACS aircraft is shown in operation, also known as the Boeing E-3 Sentry. This is an American airborne early warning and control (AEW&amp;C) aircraft developed by Boeing as the prime contractor. Derived from the Boeing 707, it provides all-weather surveillance, command, control, and communications, and is used by the United States Air Force, NATO, Royal Air Force, French Air Force, and Royal Saudi Air Force. The E-3 is distinguished by the distinctive rotating radar dome above the fuselage. Production ended in 1992 after 68 aircraft had been built.

At 6:30, a segment begins showing the USAF in West Germany. Ingolstadt Air Force Base is the focus. The segment shows personnel arriving by Arrow Air airplane, followed by the arrival of F-4 Phantoms. These aircraft are modified versions that are used in the surveillance role and for electronic counter measures. At 11:40, staff is seen reviewing a roll of processed roll film shot at altitude.

Starting at 13:40, the Military Airlift Command's annual competition at Pope Air Force Base is seen, with an air show kicking off a host of military activities ranging from a field exercise with soldiers at 16:00, to MAC operations with C-130 aircraft at 16:30, including paradrops. 

The first USAF E-3 was delivered in March 1977, and during the next seven years, a total of 34 aircraft were manufactured. NATO, as a single identity, also had 18 aircraft manufactured, basing them in Germany. The E-3 was also sold to the United Kingdom (seven) and France (four) and Saudi Arabia (five, plus eight E-3-derived tanker aircraft). In 1991, when the last aircraft had been delivered, E-3s participated in Operation Desert Storm, playing a crucial role of directing coalition aircraft against the enemy.

The beginning shows a formal wedding. Scenes include entrance of the groom at :30, followed by the bride and bridesmaids at :59. The bride is at 2:00 with her father. The ceremony is seen at 2:10 with the ring going on the finger at 2;25. Big kiss at 2:33. Wedding cake gets cut at 3:25. At 3:40 we see a young boy, probably the son of the newlyweds, looks like the kid is getting his first haircut. At 4:30, a mock swordfight that is quite hilarious takes place on a farm. At 4:50, more scenes on the farm. The outfits look like the early 1940s. At 5:19, a dalmatian is seen. At 5:27 a very rare shot -- a woman lying in bed is seen, this was certainly rare given the mores of that era. At 5:38, son's birthday with the board game "Swamp Fox" given as a present. This material must date to the early 1960s or late 1950s as this game was part of a Walt Disney TV show starring Leslie Nielson. At 6:12, a girl plays with the family dog. At 6:40, another 1960s birthday party with candles being blown out. At 7:30, picnic with hamburgers and hotdogs, and soda. At 8:12 a game of patty cake. At 8:15, another wedding is shown, this one also quite elaborate. Bridemaids seen at 8:40. The bridge and groom are seen going to their car at 8:50. The groom is dressed in an Army outfit. Bride waves good bye at 9:12.  At 9:30 a group of people emerge from a car in strong winds and two men lose their hats. At 10:12, another wedding is seen. This has some faded color... 

At 12:00, kids are seen in Halloween costumes. Skeleton is seen at 12:50. Finally, a birthday at 13:00 with cake and ice cream.

New Horizons promotes the different destinations Pan American Airlines flies to. This film, The Low Countries: Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg, was produced by Henry Strauss Communications and gives viewers a glimpse into the three countries. The film provides footage of rural and urban life, traditional and modern activities, and includes a narration that provides more of an elusive feel than an informational one. Lowlanders built their home on the water, and use the omnipresent water for agriculture, transportation, and more. The fertile lands are perfect for cultivating flowers (01:50), including tulips. In the canal-adorned cities (02:29), flowers are bought and sold (02:47). The region is a major hub of European trade, evidenced by the beautiful guildhouses of Brussels (03:00). The Lowlanders cherish their heritage and what they’ve built, and many old buildings (03:50) still dominate the cities and towns that are crisscrossed by rivers and canals (04:21). And signs of the flower industry are present all over as boutonnieres (04:58) adorn buildings, cars and bikes (05:17), and even a royal family (05:39), where people celebrate the Queen’s birthday with the flower arrangements, as well as traditional dances (06:05). While Lowlanders cherish their traditions, they embrace modernity as well, demonstrating it with their dress, cars (06:42), buses and new buildings, like the ones in Brussels (06:49). Modernity exists with, rather than replaces, tradition. Children still love traditional entertainment, like the Dutch street organ (07:11). Water is everywhere in the Lowlands, and people take advantage of it to make their communities thrive. Water canals are used to easily move around both people and cargo (08:07); river travel is free, but a toll must be paid at the locks (08:28). The waterways provide visitors an easy way to see the countryside, with its hors...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c3bb1c36-5095-428a-9f84-ed143f6279ed/104e810c-d608-4afc-834c-984ad2c5da6f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qaQPKBHMERatc3xdGMvo5n</video:player_loc><video:duration>1642</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T14:19:41.324Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Pan Am Airlines</video:tag><video:tag>Pan Am</video:tag><video:tag>Belgium</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4P8DCEwrZmDGtDa6ZtY7dd</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f0e6a067-3e42-40e8-9eec-d7a8c14d2e79.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SPREAD OF DISEASE BY HOUSE FLY &amp; LIFE CYCLE OF THE HOUSE FLY  59574 CF</video:title><video:description>The House Fly, a 1958 educational film produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films, offers an overview of the common house fly (musca domestica), including its anatomy, life cycle, and what the public can do to prevent health concerns caused by the fly. The film shows a woman cooking in the kitchen (00:45), where a fly is pestering her. The narrator says that the fly can visit a number of unsanitary places before arriving in the kitchen, highlighting the fly’s ability to spread disease. The film then uses magnified cameras to show detailed footage of the fly (02:17) and explain its structural features. The film labels the various parts of the fly’s body, looking at its eyes (02:38), antennae, and proboscis (03:19). It also shows viewers the thorax, specifically looking at the fly’s wings and legs (03:53), revealing that flies have claws (04:13), which can spread fungus (05:08). The film then examines the fly’s abdomen and spiracles (05:25), before discussing the fly’s feeding habits and digestive system (05:50). Reproduction is discussed next, as house flies lay eggs any place where there is a food source for the larva to feed on after hatching (07:48), such as garbage or animal manure. With an ovipositor, female flies deposit eggs (07:55), which then hatch (08:22). The film continues with micro-photography, showing the viewer magnified images of the maggot as it molts its skin (09:04) and uses its hook-shaped mouth for feeding and crawling (09:10). A time-lapse shows further development of the larva (10:05), culminating with the final development into a fly, using expanders located on the fly’s head (10:40). The film then begins discussing how to stop the spread of house flies: swatting flies and using insecticides help, but the only effective solution is sanitation. Farmers can use poison bait to reduce fly populations (13:48) and, in urban areas, sewage and garbage can be better disposed to further reduce the threats caused by this common “health menace.”

The turret in this version of the chopper, known as the AH-1E, is equipped with a 20mm M-197 gun, which can shoot 750 rounds per minute. AH-1S aircraft included the M147 Rocket Management Subsystem (RMS) to fire 2.75-inch (70 mm) rockets. The baseline AH-1S is an AH-1Q upgraded with a 1,800 shp (1,300 kW) T53-L-703 turboshaft engine. The AH-1S is also referred to as the "Improved AH-1S", "AH-1S Modified", or "AH-1S(MOD)" prior to 1988. (Prior to 1988, all upgraded aircraft were referred to as variants of the AH-1S.)

The film was partially shot at the test range at Yuma, Arizona. TOW rocket test firings are shown at the 14:40 mark.

The Bell AH-1 Cobra (company designation: Model 209) is a two-blade, single engine attack helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter. It was developed using the engine, transmission and rotor system of the Bell's UH-1 Iroquois. The AH-1 is also referred to as the HueyCobra or Snake.

The AH-1 was the backbone of the United States Army's attack helicopter fleet, but has been replaced by the AH-64 Apache in Army service. Upgraded versions continue to fly with the militaries of several other nations. The AH-1 twin engine versions remain in service with United States Marine Corps (USMC) as the service's primary attack helicopter. Surplus AH-1 helicopters have been converted for fighting forest fires. The United States Forest Service refers to their program as the Firewatch Cobra. Garlick Helicopters also converts surplus AH-1s for forest firefighting under the name FireSnake.

Fitzpatrick, takes viewers on a tour of India and features visits to Delhi, Agra, and the Deserted City. The film begins on the road outside of the Deserted City, Fatehpur Sikri (00:56), showing the ancient abandoned city. The impressive city (01:50) features a beautiful courtyard in the Great Mosque, and a surprising community of orphaned children (02:30). The tour of India continues with a visit to the Tower of Victory (03:22) on route to Delhi, which commemorates the victory of Muhammad over the Hindus. At Delhi (03:44), the viewer is treated to scenes of bustling streets and the sacred cows (04:10) that wander the city as if it is theirs. Other sights include a funeral procession (05:07) and a visit to Cathedral Mosque (05:25; 05:42; 05:57), built by Shah Jahan in the mid-seventeenth century. On the road from Delhi to Agra, the travelers encounter a “Punch and Judy” troupe (06:19), before arriving at the fortified walls of Agra (06:50). Snake charmers (07:18) sit outside of the city’s gates, where they cheer on a fight between a cobra and a mongoose (07:44). Inside the city is the beautiful Pearl Mosque (08:28), which—according to tradition—used to house a great pearl suspended from the ceiling. The final stop is at Taj Mahal (09:05), the so-called “Temple of Love,” the mausoleum of Mumtaz Mahal, built by Shah Jahan as a memorial to his wife.

Fatehpur Sikri is a town in the Agra District of Uttar Pradesh, India. The city was founded in the year 1569 by the Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great, and served as the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1571 to 1585, when it was abandoned. After his military victories over Chittor and Ranthambore, Akbar decided to shift his capital from Agra to a new location 23 miles (37 km) south-west, to honour the Sufi saint and Salim Chishti. Here, he commenced the construction of a planned walled city, which took the next fifteen y...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d86c4a8d-2977-44e5-ba87-fb7a37d5b3b3/2db87f9e-90c5-4b79-8b6c-e52ed2e91e7e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sJ3mfxSom4gdbGcsdRn4HD</video:player_loc><video:duration>630</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T14:23:16.894Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/puWKnfUJCQRubTamhyysNf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d8b7398a-260b-43c7-bbb4-a4c5578465ce.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>VOLKSWAGEN VW BUG  FUEL EFFICIENCY TEST DRIVE  GAS CRISIS FILM  33504</video:title><video:description>This silent 16mm film shows an experiment undertaken to show how a small, light car like the VW Bug could be driven for long distances at low cost due to its fuel efficiency. At the start of the film a brand new VW Beetle is prepared for the trip with a visit to a full service gas station. A clock is used to record the time and a shot shows the odometer (3:50 mark), and then at the end these are revisited. In roughly nine hours the car travels 426 miles, although it's unclear exactly whether that equates to 10 gallons of gas or not. The only thing shown at the end of the film is that the car still has gas in the tank -- but it's not known how much. In any case that figure -- 42 miles per gallon -- would have been far in excess of what the Beetle would normally have achieved (Wikipedia suggests it could normally have a 32 mpg rating). Even if it was lower than 32 mpg, it still would have easily eclipsed the fuel efficiency of almost any American car made in this era. 

BTW it's unclear when the film dates from -- although one hint is that the price of gas shown at the 1:47 mark appears to be 35 cents per gallon including 10 cent tax. An on-line source said that would equate to 1973, but that seems too late for this film. More likely the film dates to the mid-1950s based on the other cars shown. If you have any thoughts, please weigh in. 

Most of the movie takes place on the Salem Freeway #99 in the vicinity of Medford, Oregon and you will see various shots around there, on the roads, driving through downtown towards Salem (3 minutes) and towards Medford at 8:20. Downtown Medford is seen at 9:00. At 11:00 the car visits an inspection station. The car is shown operating in various weather conditions including rain and sleet.

When did the first VW Beetles arrive in the USA?  In January of 1949, a Volkswagen “Type 1,” or Beetle, was shipped to New York City by Ben Pon, Sr., a Dutch businessman and the world's first official Volkswagen importer.

At 2:11 the fair can be seen from the highway as the group enters Montreal. Some parts of the fair including the Canadian Pavilion  appear to be still in scaffolding (2:26). At 4:30 the fairgrounds is shown up close, including the USSR Pavilion at 4:50, people movers, Canadian National pavilion (6:40) and more. At 7:49 a hovercraft is seen on the move, and at 7:55 a subway or light rail train, Place des Nations and more. The India pavilion is seen at 10:50, and Thai pavilion at 12:22, and the Cinema at 12:32.

The film concludes with a visit to tourist sites in the Montreal vicinity including what appears to be  St. Joseph's Oratory.

The 1967 International and Universal Exposition or Expo 67, as it was commonly known, was a general exhibition, Category One World's Fair held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, from April 27 to October 29, 1967. It is considered to be the most successful World's Fair of the 20th century [1] with the most attendees to that date and 62 nations participating. It also set the single-day attendance record for a world's fair, with 569,500 visitors on its third day.

Expo 67 was Canada's main celebration during its centennial year. The fair had been intended to be held in Moscow, to help the Soviet Union celebrate the Russian Revolution's 50th anniversary; however, for various reasons, the Soviets decided to cancel, and Canada was awarded it in late 1962.

The project was not well supported in Canada at first. It took the determination of Montreal's mayor, Jean Drapeau, and a new team of managers to guide i...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b414e193-5914-48a5-b134-9ed4c32ac777/b0643f3f-9703-4948-a6e3-8eb58717d199-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oeL5ifqoMzd5ZJtiYgnJ82</video:player_loc><video:duration>915</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T14:26:55.592Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3NdjGoVEgD5aYfC8iW4ZKo</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ab391360-e07a-4cd2-84e2-8afd3960fab4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM'S WORLD   1970s PAN AMERICAN AIRLINES  PROMOTIONAL FILM 47544</video:title><video:description>Pan Am’s World, produced by Peckham Productions USA in the 1970s, is a promotional film for Pan American Airlines. The film opens with a shot of a Pan Am DC-10 jet/clipper (00:52), and the narrator tells viewers that Pan Am flies to more than 120 different places on 6 continents. Intercontinental hotels are at many of the destinations, providing luxuriously comfortable lodging. Pan Am also operates the world’s largest private communications system (01:50), connecting all the different components of Pan Am’s world. The film then showcases a handful of destinations that are part of Pan Am’s world. The first is Bali (02:43), and the film montage includes scenes of Bali’s beautiful countryside, bustling streets, traditional dances and music, sculptors and weavers, and its spectacular sunsets. The next featured location is Paris (04:03), where visitors can enjoy the Eiffel Tower, busy streets, the Arc de Triomphe, Paris’ Hotel Intercontinental, fashion districts, and culinary arts. The film then shows an airport or a manufacturing plant (05:44), followed by scenes of mechanics inspecting planes and parts, and viewers are treated to scenes inside a training cockpit (06:24). The film then moves to its next highlight, Beirut. The Beirut montage (06:49) includes footage of belly dancing, traditional Arab music, Lebanon Mountains, Roman ruins, fishing, and shopping at bazaars, as well as a few scenes of Beirut’s airport. Viewers are then taken to Sydney (08:29), with impressive shots of Sydney Harbor, what appears to be Sydney Harbor Bridge, Sydney’s lively streets, children observing kangaroos, the Pearl Hotel, surfing, and a sunset. Rio de Janeiro (09:39) is the next stop on the tour of Pan Am’s world. Beautiful beaches and water provide endless activities, but pools sitting on the city’s hills with stunning city views (10:00) are not to be missed; dancing, horse riding, architecture, and excursions up the Amazon are just some of the other attractions found in this Brazi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/16a615ac-436e-4d89-b488-380bb37c8e10/ce9c338b-9294-46b2-8f48-dce586ed0b7d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3NdjGoVEgD5aYfC8iW4ZKo</video:player_loc><video:duration>1326</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T14:28:17.967Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oD8AxE7dJf6YG7MFAARsFj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e273d705-47a9-4578-9212-c67834768333.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1962 NEW YORK AIRWAYS HELICOPTER SERVICE TO MANHATTAN  PROMOTIONAL FILM 34204</video:title><video:description>This is a rare promotional film for New York Airways, "THE SKYLINE ROUTE" that dates to 1962 and features the Boeing Vertol 107 helicopter. At this time NYA offered service to LaGuardia and Idlewild Airport.  The film includes rare footage of flight operations as well as images of 1960s New York with its traffic jams, which was the primary selling feature for the Skyline Route service. At 10:09, a future service from the Pan Am building's roof heliport is discussed -- a feature that would eventually prove the airline's undoing when there was a major accident atop the skyscraper (read below). 

NYA was a helicopter airline in the New York City area. It was founded in 1949 as a mail and cargo carrier. On July 9, 1953 it became the first scheduled helicopter airline to carry passengers in the United States. Its headquarters were at LaGuardia Airport. 

In February 1955 the one way fare from LaGuardia to Idlewild was $4.50. The ship was a Sikorsky H-19, N418A. The trip took ten minutes and their phone number was DEfender 5-6600. The first scheduled passenger flights to Manhattan arrived in December 1956 at the new heliport west of the West Side Highway at 30th St. The downtown heliport on East River Pier 6 opened in 1960 and New York Airways moved all its Manhattan passenger flights down there around December 1960. 

Due to route restrictions on the single-engine Vertol 44, nonstop flights from Manhattan to Idlewild didn't begin until the twin-engine 107 arrived. Scheduled flights to the top of the Pan Am Building began in December 1965; they ended in 1968, then resumed for a few months in 1977. In April 1966 23 flights a day flew nonstop to Pan Am's terminal at JFK, scheduled 10 minutes; passengers could check in at the Pan Am Building 40 minutes before their scheduled departure out of JFK. The downtown heliport had 13 flights a day to Newark, 5 nonstops to TWA's terminal at JFK and 12 to LGA, all of which continued to JFK. (Downtown had no weekend flights.)

B-52 airplanes are seen flying in formation as well as other aircraft. At 2:27 the ladies in the family play  a friendly game of cards.  The men do so at 2:51. At 3:00, downtown skyscrapers are seen, possibly Nashville or Lexington but then again, maybe not! At 3:41,  horses are seen doing dressage. At 7:20 the family station wagon is washed. At 8:30, a trip to the zoo. At 10:27 what appears to be a watermelon eating contest and egg toss are shown, as well as eating carmel apples. At 10:50 there are dirt track races with small race cars. At 13:00, an air base entrance is seen, hard to make out the name of it.  At 14:45, a baby is fed milk by grandpa. Baby also gets his or her hair brushed at 16:20. The family sits and socializes at 17:00. Baby gets a close up at 18:50. At 19:00 a cigar is smoked and drinks are served, and a cup of coffee is consumed. At 19:25 a cigarette is puffed in celebration of the holidays.

The Thane left Tahiti on 26 October 1965 and arrived in Panama on 12 January 1966. The story is filmed and narrated by Don Null, and begins in Tahiti (00:15), where three strangers arrive at the airport (00:44): Wallace “Wally” Smith, Doctor Harold Hartl, and Mark Gross. These three answered an ad in a magazine to take part in the adventure. They leave Aeroport Tahiti-FAAA (00:55) and drive through Tahiti’s capital Pape’ete (01:37) on their way to Matavai Bay (01:55). They arrive at the yacht (02:11) and meet the rest of the crew: navigator Charles Popenoe (02:40), a physicist from Washington, and the ship’s captain, Pete Jackson (02:50). On 25 October 1965, the crew load supplies on the ship and make final preparations (03:43), including waterproofing their Kodak cameras (04:11). The next day, they cast off (04:45) and set sail for the neighboring Moorea Island (05:15). The crew are treated to a feast by the natives of Moorea Island (05:57), which is followed by dancing and singing (06:17; 06:43). The following day, the members of the Thane set sail for their next destination, island of Roppa, nearly 800 miles away. When they reach the island’s waters on November 7, they learn that the island is off limits to visitors, so the islanders climb aboard the Thane to celebrate the visiting crew (08:48). Back at sea, the crew find ways to entertain themselves, including B-Dunking, bouncing off the water while on a swing suspended from the sail (09:25), and playing cards, chess, and music. Chores and maintaining logs also occupy the men’s time. The smooth sailing comes to an end when eight days of rough weather hit the crew (11:30), but the storm left beautiful skies in its wake (12:03). Popenoe charts the ship’s position and learns that the storm knocked them off course. They continue to occupy th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1b81269a-ebfa-4a3b-b7e6-46c53785296f/56a5fdf9-c696-47c3-bcec-cef04014536d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4oZoZZTVpLFxP2WRAwcXTe</video:player_loc><video:duration>1590</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T14:35:19.353Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5363tnh95Xs52aDmdS14Wy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/02aff06c-2dc5-4bd8-96cb-ff2014af32bc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII BRITISH CIVIL DEFENSE FILM TEAM TRAINING OF RESCUE PARTIES 29064</video:title><video:description>Dating to the dark days of the Blitz in WWII, and apparently shot on a real location near Trafalgar Square, this Ministry of Home Security film TEAM TRAINING OF RESCUE PARTIES shows how debris can be safely moved, so as to rescue victims of an air raid from collapsed structures. The film shows a rescue party arriving at the scene of a damaged building, with the leader making a strategic assessment of the integrity of the structure and coming up with a plan of action before beginning work. In this instance, since the stairs are not considered safe, a ladder is erected at the outside of the building (4:23). At 5;25 a casualty is evacuated from the cellar across a bomb crater. At 6:03, three more victims are found in the upper floors and evacuated by ladder. At 11:30, civilians are asked to pitch in to help in the clean-up effort so that coal plates (covers of chutes used to load coal into a building's basement) can be located and opened. The chute opening are used to communicate with people trapped in the building's basement. At 13:00, a carpenter works to shore up the building so the rescue effort can continue.

LOUIS MISSOURI   HOW TAXES HELP A BIG CITY OPERATE   59584 CF</video:title><video:description>Directed by Charles Guggenheim, the 1956 short film THE BIG CITY is St. Louis’ annual report for the citizens of St. Louis “whose tax dollar runs the Big City”; it is almost a minute-by-minute story of what the tax payer’s dollar buys. A film from the St. Louis Public Library, the film opens with a promotional spot for the learning center of the St. Louis Public Library. The day begins in the early hours of the morning as a police car drives through downtown St. Louis (01:13). Citizens throw garbage out onto the streets (02:00), and a homeless man leaves a tunnel to see what time it is (02:19). It is now 6:40 AM and the people of St. Louis begin waking up, bathing, shaving, and getting ready for the day. At the city reservoir (03:20), 6 million gallons of water are used within an hour, prompting the order to be given to step up the pumps (03:52) to provide more water for the people. Water comes from the Mississippi River—flowing past old buildings and under bridges (04:04)—and the soil and debris in the water must be filtered out. The water is treated at the water treatment plant (04:34); inside the plant (04:54), pumps at Baden and Bissell Point (05:18) move the water to the citizens who need it. By 8:00 AM, water is provided to the factories, mills, and foundries. The Big City lives on clean water and clean air. An employee checks a “breathing machine” (06:19) to ensure air quality is at safe levels. As 8:00 AM arrives, the demands on St. Louis’ streets increase (06:45), and traffic light controls are adjusted to better accommodate the heavy traffic. The city not only maintains the traffic lights but the signs, streets, and alleys. Painting street lines is also a crucial task of the city (07:43); 23,000 gallons of paint are used each year for this task alone. As traffic moves people into the city (08:10), elevators begin moving people up the buildings (08:25) and to their offices. Elevator maintenance and inspections are just another part of the city’s job.

It starts with the A-5 Vigilante seen at 1:00 and following, including carrier deck launches. At 2:40 the T-2 Buckeye jet trainer is seen. At 4:14 the OV-10 Bronco is seen in various configurations including carrying a large bomb and dropping smoke or defoliant. Following that are some nighttime live fire exercises, with large explosions seen. At 8:20 another OV-10 is shown, in this case it looks like it is carrying a chemical spray mechanism or other load. 

The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco is an American twin-turboprop light attack and observation aircraft. It was developed in the 1960s as a special aircraft for counter-insurgency (COIN) combat, and one of its primary missions was as a forward air control (FAC) aircraft. It can carry up to three tons of external munitions, internal loads such as paratroopers or stretchers, and can loiter for three or more hours.

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.

The footage shown was originally material assembled for an humanitarian reel, made on behalf of the Finnish Relief Fund, so that American audiences could see how Finland was withstanding Russian invasion. The original theatrical release was only five minutes long, but Eugene Castle brought it up to standard one reel length and released it as a silent film with title cards. The film is one of the rarer Castle titles, because the Soviets  and Stalin — who are condemned here as aggressors — became U.S. allies in WWII after the German invasion of Russia.

One note of interest to viewers: the swastika shown on the airplane at 5:29 was an official Finnish air force logo, and should not be confused with the (nearly identical but backwards) German fascist symbol.

The Winter War was a military conflict between the Soviet Union and Finland in 1939–1940. It began with the Soviet invasion of Finland on 30 November 1939 (three months after the outbreak of World War II), and ended with the Moscow Peace Treaty on 13 March 1940. The League of Nations deemed the attack illegal and expelled the Soviet Union from the League on 14 December 1939.

The Soviet Union ostensibly sought to claim parts of Finnish territory, demanding—amongst other concessions—that Finland cede substantial border territories in exchange for land elsewhere, claiming security reasons, primarily the protection of Leningrad, which was only 32 km (20 mi) from the Finnish border. Finland refused and the USSR invaded the country. Many sources conclude that the Soviet Union had intended to conquer all of Finland, and use the establishment of the puppet Finnish Communist government and the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact's secret protocols as proof of this, while other sources argue against the idea of a full Soviet conquest.

The Soviets possessed more than three times ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/233abd9a-3859-4c35-b67a-c24f8e1788b5/ac3727fd-7edd-4157-ac0b-d907fc75913b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5mjmum3T8ruUqY6CASUmAR</video:player_loc><video:duration>796</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T14:43:32.617Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7XLkScvu31fLYq5XrwmPL2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fbb7511f-1af6-437e-a724-41a91ce04713.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HAWAII &amp; ALASKA TRIP ABOARD SS ARCADIA 1970s HOME MOVIE  59404</video:title><video:description>This amateur, silent home movie shows a trip to Hawaii and Alaska in the 1970s, apparently made aboard the liner SS Arcadia. SS Arcadia was a passenger liner built for P&amp;O in 1953 to service the UK to Australia route. Towards the end of her life she operated as a cruise ship, based in Sydney, until scrapped in 1979. This film doubtless dates to the 1970-1974 timeline when, after a refit, she became a full-time one-class cruise ship and worked the west coat of America, making a series of summer cruises to Alaska and winter cruises to Mexico.

The film begins in Hawaii and has views at 2:50 of downtown Honolulu with many tall apartment buildings under construction near Waikiki.  At 6:33 the Arcadia is seen in port. At 6:51 the scene abruptly chages to what appears to be Juneau, Alaska. The Alaskan Hotel and Bar, also known as the Northlander Hotel, is seen next to the Red Dog Saloon. At 7:30 a gigantic glacier is seen. At 13:58 the gold prospector statue in Sitka, Alaska is shown.  Numerous other landmarks we could not identify are also shown through the end of the film.

The occasion was Navy Day. Joining the Indy for this event was USS Chester, USS Pensacola and other warships. The poor condition of the film is quite evident; but this remains some of the only footage to show the Indianapolis in the pre-WWII era and so is considered quite precious.

USS Indianapolis (CA-35) was a Portland-class cruiser of the United States Navy. She served as flagship for Admiral Raymond Spruance while he commanded the Fifth Fleet in their battles across the Central Pacific. She holds a place in history due to the circumstances of her sinking, which led to the greatest single loss of life at sea in the history of the U.S. Navy. On July 30, 1945, shortly after delivering critical parts for the first atomic bomb to be used in combat to the United States air base at Tinian, the ship was torpedoed by the Imperial Japanese Navy submarine I-58, sinking in 12 minutes. Of 1,196 crewmen aboard, only 317 survived.

Apparently at the time the get-together was part of the post-WWII relief effort, in which these immigrant groups attempted to raise money for war-torn Germany. 

"Hindenburg Park" has a controversial history. Prior to WWII, the western side of Crescenta Valley Park (then known as Hindenburg Park) gained notoriety because the Bund, a political group styling itself after the Nazis, staged several rallies there, complete with Swastikas and German military uniforms. The coming of WWII of course meant the disbandment of the Bund and similar fascist groups.  

As you can see the post-WWII rallies had much more to do with patriotic American and traditional cultural displays such as dancing, music, marching and so on. 

"German Day" continues in Los Angeles in the present day, via https://germanamcharities.org/

If you recognize landmarks within the film, please note them in the comments as we had difficultly identifying many portions of the film.

At the beginning of the film you'll see people in Volendam in traditional dress standing near the Zuiderzee (as it was called before it was closed off from the open sea by the Afsluitdijk in 1932). Today it's called IJsselmeer (a 'lake').  00:37 - sign says: "Buttermilk by the glass". 
00:38 - Volendam - Sign says Café Restaurant Spaander, which still exists to this day. It's a well-known establishment.  
Location of this shot:

00:47 - Volendam, De Dijk.  01:05 - Sign over the door says "bread baker". Volendam. It's not a shop though, that's where he lives.  01:08 - Sign on the right side, under the window, says "Gerookte paling" (smoked eel) - Well that's what they do in Volendam, they fish for eel, they smoke and sell them. 
01:30 - Visit to Holland ends here.

 At 1:32 the Bristol Haus hotel is seen, in Dusseldorf, Germany. 
At 1:54 we're in Berlin on Friedrichsstrasse. At 2:28 on Wilhelmsplatz. At 1:58 a street scene is shown, with a bus visible with a large "Potsdam" sign. At 2:30, Wilhelmstrasse is shown. The building at 2:58 was the "Hochhaus am Knie". I guess the bus he filmed at 3:24 is the one they took for their sightseeing tour.   Beginning at 4:38 we see Sanssouci Palace and park with the Orangery and the New Palace. At 4:42 we're at the Old town Square in Prague with the Jan Hus Memorial and the Church of Our Lady before Týn.    At 7:38, the famous Prague astronomical clock in the capitol of Czechoslovakia is seen. At 8:20 the famous Charles Bridge is shown. At 9:53 we see the Stephansdom (St. Stephen's Cathedral) in Vienna...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/66aa2748-955d-4983-9f9a-51cba6b5aa0f/8374fa6f-3a60-4831-a217-128a643fa62d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dFi1y6mpbx55gFSaSNwrX6</video:player_loc><video:duration>902</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T14:55:50.720Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6kohCB69gC5HFe7cvNq4ZG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4a80dd15-cd1c-4b93-a12a-8b5a55ed3293.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1960s ANTI-POLLUTION &amp; GARBAGE PROBLEM FILM: A LAND BETRAYED  59534 CF</video:title><video:description>Produced by Alfred Higgins Productions with assistance from the University of Missouri-Columbia’s Academic Support Center Film Library, Keep America Beautiful, Inc., and Keep Los Angeles Beautiful, Inc., the 1963 short film A Land Betrayed examines the various ways people have spread the “cancer of ugliness” across America and offers call-to-action solutions to combat the nation-wide problem. The film opens with a scenic footage of natural landscapes (00:22), Yellowstone National Park’s Old Faithful (01:15), Chicago’s skyscrapers rising above the Chicago River (01:28), and Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road (02:14). The United States of America has so much beauty to offer, yet there is a fundamental problem with the rise of litter, vandalism and graffiti, decaying infrastructure, and the abandoning of property that all undermine America’s aesthetics. A “cancer of ugliness” has made its way across all the U.S., but is especially prominent in America’s cities (03:56). Litter is increasingly problematic, even in formally pristine places like Yellowstone National Park, where colorful geysers must be cleaned out regularly (04:38). Vandals deface glacial rock faces on Mt. Rainier (04:57), which is difficult to remove. Forests, waterfronts, and communities are suffering from these problems, but the solution is simple: people can come together and clean up. School children help out by picking up garbage (06:15), communities can start civic brigades, like the Salt Lake Tribune “Beautification Program” (06:38). Steps are being taken to clean up America, but it is just the beginning. The anti-litter organization Keep America Beautiful estimates that the cost of cleaning up trash is around $1 billion per year. Clean up, followed by creating green space, can restore America’s beauty. Private enterprises have started planting flowers, like on New York City’s Park Avenue (08:09). Efforts will not only help restore America’s beauty, but it will preserve existing beaut...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2b328f43-7dfd-49f5-add6-97b6e8763efe/5bab4e00-4b76-4cb7-b6c5-1e0e14cd25c1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6kohCB69gC5HFe7cvNq4ZG</video:player_loc><video:duration>610</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T14:56:27.564Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xseVf16LgUNBj9XBVxjUQk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3b493978-e6cc-4108-9dc3-1ee52487888c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HIGH CONTRAST PHOTOGRAPHY FOR INSTRUCTION  FILM PROCESSING  59564 CF</video:title><video:description>High Contrast Photography For Instruction is a 1956 instructional film for educators, teaching them how to make various copies using high contrast photography. The film was produced by the Indiana University Audio-Visual Center and features instructors from the university’s Education Department. The film shows the basic steps needed to create transparencies, reverse copies, slides, and prints. The film begins with directions for making overhead projector transparencies (00:58), developing the transparency using processing chemicals (developer, stop, and fix). Next, viewers are taught how to make a transparency copy from a book (02:20), using a camera—in this case, a Crown Graphic camera (03:36)—and a pair of lights, film, and a film holder. It also shows the viewer how to develop the film in a dark room by adding the film to developer, then to a stop bath, and finally to the fixing bath. The film demonstrates how to make reserves copies by placing transparencies on high-contrast film (05:58), making 2x2 slides with a camera and an upright stand (07:03), and how to add color to text or images, which can then be used with an enlarger to make a print on photographic paper (08:08). Other materials that can be used with high-contrast photography include transparent adhesives (08:55), flannel boards (09:25), and menu boards. The film also shows how to make an effective graph using high-contrast film (11:20), as high-contrast film is “useful in all subject areas” and allows teachers to make materials “quickly and economically.”

Specifically it presents footage of the Air Force Task Unit of the 63rd Troop Carrier Wing’s mission in support of the International Geophysical Year (1 July 1957-31 December 1958). This mission (most likely occurring in 1957), which is part of Operation Deep Freeze, features Douglas C-124 Globemaster IIs being used to install and supply bases or stations in Antarctica. Rear Admiral George Dufek oversees the operation with the help of Major General Chester E. McCarty (the first pilot to fly over the south pole, which he did on 26 October 1956 as part of Operation Deep Freeze), Colonel Wade Hampton, Colonel Horace A. Croswell, and Lieutenant Colonel C.J. Ellen. The film begins with a soldier showing the mission’s presumed route to Antarctica. Footage then cuts to a Globemaster II landing at an airstrip (02:10), mission officers reviewing plans, and then the flight to Antarctica. Aerial footage of Antarctica provides sweeping views of the continent (04:22), including views of ice shelfs and mountains (06:18; 06:40). An icy runway comes into view (06:55) and the Globemaster II lands safely. Once on ground, footage reveals a ship stuck in ice (08:10), men—presumably officers of the mission—walking around base and standing at the foot of a mountain (08:27), panoramic views of the base (09:12), the American flag blowing in the wind with an ice field and mountains in the background (10:05), and a tractor pulling a sled loaded with supplies (10:23), which are then loaded onto a Globemaster II. The film then shows a Globemaster II taxiing in the snowy conditions (14:20), members of the mission (15:46), and, finally, takeoff (16:13). The final scenes of the silent film include more aerial shots of Antarctica, supplies being airdropped to a base (21:48), and the return of the Globemaster II to the...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d89e4aba-f132-4a94-9bcf-c84c36f47ec1/83177433-835f-438d-b872-ffa513f75a37-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sKru2QN4sY1jD8tbUHriMT</video:player_loc><video:duration>1693</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:02:24.707Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ugHfSS6WQVGvqSdpt7K4kN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e5c768d7-f66f-4c34-b18a-9175b1aab024.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LOCKHEED P-38 LIGHTNING FIGHTER AIRCRAFT  34294</video:title><video:description>Made by Lockheed during WWII to promote the P-38 Lightning and introduce it to Army Air Force pilots, P-38 FLIGHT CHARACTERISTICS gives an overview of this vaunted aircraft. Interestingly, the film begins with an animated discussion of how to bail out of the aircraft, owing to "hangar talk" that suggested it would be a widow maker. The film features a number of Lockheed test pilots including chief engineering test pilot Lionel Burgess, giving insights into how to handle the P-38. It also contains a number of cartoons, possibly created by the Disney Studios, to illustrate its points. 

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning was a World War II American piston-engined fighter aircraft. Developed to a United States Army Air Corps requirement, the P-38 had distinctive twin booms and a central nacelle containing the cockpit and armament. Allied propaganda claimed it had been nicknamed the fork-tailed devil by the Luftwaffe and "two planes, one pilot" by the Japanese, the P-38 was used for interception, dive bombing, level bombing, ground attack, night fighting, photo reconnaissance, radar and visual pathfinding for bombers and evacuation missions and extensively as a long-range escort fighter when equipped with drop tanks under its wings.

The P-38 was used most successfully in the Pacific Theater of Operations and the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations as the aircraft of America's top aces, Richard Bong (40 victories), Thomas McGuire (38 victories) and Charles H. MacDonald (36 victories). In the South West Pacific theater, the P-38 was the primary long-range fighter of United States Army Air Forces until the appearance of large numbers of P-51D Mustangs, toward the end of the war.

The P-38 was unusually quiet for a fighter, the exhaust muffled by the turbo-superchargers. It was extremely forgiving and could be mishandled in many ways but the rate of roll in the early versions was too slow for it to excel as a dogfighter. The P-38 was the only American fighter aircraft in p...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e4f176d9-23ee-4215-8bf6-90d75ac75aa0/3bd0e7e1-7278-4c66-b96b-99a67f630779-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ugHfSS6WQVGvqSdpt7K4kN</video:player_loc><video:duration>2159</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:07:21.004Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9tQUfQwEYp5MGJ4GHhTSNA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d3ae458e-af1b-41aa-918c-bc27b22d5429.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1957 CHEVROLET TASK FORCE TRUCKS   ALCAN HIGHWAY TESTING ROAD TRIP 87394</video:title><video:description>Chevrolet’s 1956 short film, “On Top of the World,” produced by Jam Handy, follows six 1957 pre-production Chevrolet Task-Force models as they make the grueling trip from GM’s Proving Ground in Milford, Michigan to Fairbanks, Alaska, and back. The six Chevrolet trucks demonstrate their durability and performance as they tackle the formidable ALCAN highway. The six Task-Force trucks—a 1957 Chevrolet ½-ton Cameo Carrier Pickup, a 1957 Chevrolet 1-ton Panel, a 1957 Chevrolet Dump Truck, a 1957 Chevrolet Van Panel LCF (low cab forward), a 1957 Chevrolet 5-speed transmission Tractor Trailer, and a 1957 Chevrolet Tractor Trailer Powermatic—depart Milford for the AAA-supervised test (01:05). They reach Dawson Creek where the trucks are weighed and certified by AAA (01:38). The trucks travel hundreds and hundreds of miles, over rivers, up mountain sides, and along challenging dirt roads, only stopping for refueling under AAA supervision (05:02). As they drive along the ALCAN highway, they pass into the Yukon and the town of White Horse (05:24) before finally reaching Fairbanks, Alaska (06:11). The Task-Force trucks then start their journey home. The Dump Truck (07:25) and the ½-ton Cameo Carrier (08:46) are highlighted on the trip back to GM’s Proving Ground.

The Chevrolet Task Force was Chevrolet's successor to the Advance Design trucks. The Task Force Series ran from late 1955 (second series) through 1959. At GMC locations, it was called the Blue Chip Series.

The 1955 second series offered standard options and add-ons such as 12-volt electrical systems, the first V8 (the 265 cubic inch), and fleet-side six-, seven-, and eight-foot length beds.

First, "Great Floor" shows the construction of a runway for B-29 bombers in China. Since no motorized or mechanical devices are available, 72,000 Chinese work on one airfield using primitive rock breaking and other traditional construction techniques. According to the narrator, these "super airfields" are being built by Chinese who are hoping for revenge on the Japanese for the invasion of their nation. At 4:40, another segment entitled "Sky Guys" shows paratroops in action in Europe, flying towards a drop in C-47 aircraft over Southern France near Toulon.  At 6:50 another segment "Coming Home" is shown, with Marines shown landing at Guam. The Second Battle of Guam (21 July – 10 August 1944) was the American recapture of the Japanese-held island of Guam, a U.S. territory in the Mariana Islands captured by the Japanese from the U.S. in the 1941 First Battle of Guam during the Pacific campaign of World War II. At 10:53, enemy caves are blown up and bodies are shown rotting in the sun. At 11:14, an American casualty is shown after being shot by a Japanese sniper. Finally at 12:15, the recapture of Guam is complete, with the remains of the original U.S. Marine Barracks shown in ruins.

It begins showing "old model Ruths" at the start, before moving on to show the latest "continuous action" models, including a factory-new Ruth being delivered to a customer in Nebraska via railroad. Some of the dredgers shown include one working on irrigation canals near Yuma, Arizona and at (8:33) Coolidge, Arizona.

The Ruth Dredger was invented in 1906 by Charles H. Ruth, a blacksmith in the Imperial Valley of California. At that time, huge amounts of silt brought down by the Colorado River were being deposited in the Valley and repeatedly clogging the many irrigation ditches fed by the river. The Ruth Dredger proved highly successful at clearing these ditches and it wasn't long before Ruth Dredgers were at work in many states constructing and cleaning irrigation ditches, cleaning canal banks, and building berms and levees to control flooding. In 1939, Bucyrus-Erie acquired the rights to its manufacture and commenced building the machines under the Bucyrus-Ruth trade name. Model HU was powered by a 32-flywheel-hp Cat D4400. Variable digging speeds were available from about 3 to 80 fpm, and the entire machine tipped the scales at 18 tons. Very few of the Bucyrus-Ruth machines were sold so, with the onset of World War II, the company officially discontinued the product at the end of 1942.

The film takes us through the story of the "high-hitting effectiveness of what pilots call a ‘Sunday punch’ in the days following D-Day."

As the film explains, during WWII the Marine Corps perfected the 3-armed support in collaboration with the U.S. Navy, using artillery, naval gun fire, and air support. There is footage of several different aircraft: the Grumman F9F Panther jet fighter/bomber (2:10) dropping napalm and the Vought F4U Corsair fighter/bomber (3:52). Here the footage is fairly generic -- some of it is clearly from a training exercise while some of it is from WWII (including Okinawa) or Korea. It includes shots of various islands and objectives, and shows pilots laying down bombs, napalm, gunfire and rockets (5:50) as directed by forward troops.  At 5:00, there is a clip of the deck of an aircraft carrier with jets taking off. The film concludes with footage of Baker Company on D-Day plus 5 (7:52) and how a forward air controller on the ground coordinates air support. You will also see a ground tactical air direction center and shots of pilots in their cockpits.

It documents the taking of the Marshall Islands while also encouraging increased war production.

The film opens with the narrator asking "What makes a battle?" while the camera is focusing on shipments of industrial transports, "This is what it takes to make a battle." This statement sets up the dual nature of the entire film. War supplies are pouring in from every part of the country, from every type of American "Republican and Democrat, white and colored." Industrial production is the backbone of war, according to the film, if it is destroyed, not made with quality, or not replaced in time, the battle cannot happen.

Then the film abruptly changes direction, and presents a summary of the American battle plan for taking the Marshalls, how the outer islands were bombed to fool the enemy, and how a sneak attack was planned against the inner islands. But this couldn't happen until all the supplies were ready. When the invasion does begin there is fierce fighing on the main islands. 

"The German would have surrendered, but not the Jap...Out of a garrison of 6000, 230 surrender." Much time is spent on the Japanese POWs, and the film goes to great lengths to show how well they are treated, especially in comparison to how the Japanese treated their POWs.

Emphasis then turns again to materiel. Showing all the destroyed planes, artillery, and ammunition, all needing to be replaced by the American workforce. But at the very end, images of the dead and wounded American soldiers are shown. The narrator assures us 'they will never be forgotten.'

The film opens with a mother and her young daughter entering the Los Angeles Union Air Terminal (0:30). They purchase their tickets to Salt Lake City at the terminal (0:47). They then head outside to the gate and watch in awe and anticipation as the airplane rolls slowly to the landing field (1:00). The United Airlines metal plane,  a DC-3 monoplane, is described as having big soft tires, two motors and two propellers, with one set of wings (1:04). Although the first successful aircraft were biplanes, the first attempts at heavier-than-air flying machines were monoplanes, and many pioneers continued to develop monoplane designs. A monoplane is a fixed-wing aircraft with a single main wing plane, in contrast to a biplane or other multiplane, each of which has multiple planes. A monoplane has inherently the highest efficiency and lowest drag of any wing configuration and is the simplest to build. However, during the early years of flight, these advantages were offset by its greater weight and lower maneuverability, making it relatively rare until the 1930s. Since then, the monoplane has been the most common form for a fixed-wing aircraft (Wikipedia).
The monoplane in the film has windows in the front for the pilot and many more in the back. Airplane mechanics are seen wheeling their maintenance tools to the waiting plane to service it before takeoff (1:26). They check the electric batteries, work on the large motors, wash and clean the plane and grease the propellers. As the camera spans over to where a mechanic is filling the large plane with gasoline, the narrator exclaims, “what an odd place to put gasoline for the motors, (2:13)” The plane begins to warm up its motors. Workers quickly stow baggage and other package right below the pilot’s seat in front of the pla...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/25b34fcf-ee62-4be2-843f-e89f70e73d57/d8b66081-171b-482e-aba8-290772d656e0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5E1NtQpXVXg76w7UdyY7W4</video:player_loc><video:duration>648</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:21:12.782Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/r5L87DA1wpqbz7C8ajfKCz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/91d857be-0310-4d8e-8328-9bb091a2bc1d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL   PROHIBITION &amp; BOOTLEGGING  59354</video:title><video:description>“Yesterday’s Newsreel “Benny Sent me,” provided viewers “television highlights of the news of yesteryear” by providing vintage clips of famous people and events from the first half of the 20th century. This upbeat episode highlights the momentous repeal of prohibition amidst the relief and joy of American citizens. The film begins with the narrator stating, “World War I is over and so are the days of alcoholic drinks. Convinced that self-sacrifice and sobriety will bring prosperity and peace as it won victory and war”, American’s praised passing the “Dry Law” and then promptly proceeded to repeal 18th amendment.” The short film opens at mark 0:30 with a man knocking on a door, another man looks through a peephole and opens after the man outside pay him. At mark 0:52 Andrew Volstead is seen covering his face with a hat. The next clip shows government agents confiscating and destroying bootlegging paraphernalia in Boston and then at a Florida swamp (mark 1:01) while onlookers look on as the narrator exclaims, “These homemade stills are but a few thousands seized and destroyed.” There are scenes of the infamous Al Capone as he is seen walking into then out of a courthouse as reporters and photographers film (mark 1:55), a crowded nightclub full of adults dancing and having a great time while pretty chorus girls entertain the crowd (mark 2:19). Foreign whiskey is confiscated from ships in NYC and dozens of longshoremen are arrested (mark 2:44); When talk of repealing the 18th amendment is brought up, we see a large group of women marching down the street in protest in Boston, another large crowd is seen storming the senate office building in support of the “Dry Bill.”(mark 3:30); At mark 3:36, Dry Leader Mrs. Lippincott is seen holding a petition with numerous New Jersey signatures in support of the “Dry Bill.” In the next footage, Women’s Christian Temperance Union leader Mrs. Poole speaks earnestly on camera about the effects repealing the law would have on wives (...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/cb1ea215-60ff-4a90-91a1-2cf0c5bcd705/f0632385-c35f-4dba-b63b-e1167e9a79d5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/r5L87DA1wpqbz7C8ajfKCz</video:player_loc><video:duration>726</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:21:56.652Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/h9n85pNZSxW9dw86o8txrn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9850ec73-c10e-4f9f-9a0b-24aacf3ae79f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PAN AM AIRLINES    1960s  INDIA TRAVELOGUE  MOVIE 87894</video:title><video:description>Pan Am India is a 1960 promotional travel film produced by MovieToNews, Inc. Sorry it's not in English but I think you can get the idea anyway!

The short documentary is about travel to India in 1960 via Pan American Airways and documented the unique culture, architecture, and daily life of Indian residents. The narration of the film is in Japanese (?). The film featured lovely, eye-catching clips, including: one of a man resembling Gandhi (mark 0:25), then starting at mark 1:33, an aerial view of a busy square in Mumbai, formerly Bombay, followed by a red double decker bus, a man on an ox cart, an impressive sized temple, a traffic policeman with a stop sign, and several large buildings. The film also highlights more busy streets in Mumbai with bicycles, cars, trolleys, buses and pedestrians both young and old walking on foot. There are shots of a colorful outdoor market where a street vendor is selling his ware to a man (mark 2:48), then several people on a boat gliding in a river. There’s also shots of people washing, praying and meditating in a river, then a man sitting on an elephant who playfully splashes him with water (mark 3:05). 
At mark 4:12, an elephant is helping men move logs to build a dam.  In the next scene at mark 4:36, tourists happily ride an elephant covered in a distinctive red covering. A man is seen riding an elephant down the street and then the camera cuts to an ornate building at mark 5:05. Inside the same building, we see the beautiful interior. Several more scenes follow starting at mark 5:25 of men making a variety of pottery, ivory and shaping a vase by hand. Starting at mark 6:26, three people are standing around a table looking at beautiful sari. The woman is wrapped with a blue sari. At mark 7:13, we see a group of Indian women dancing in a circle wearing different color saris and decorated head veils. The film cuts to a large group of school children at mark 7:50 as they begin to march down a field.

Mary Celestia Parler, the founder of the Arkansas Folklore Society, an English professor at University of Arkansas and the wife of distinguished Ozark folklore collector Vance Randolph is seen listening to a hauntingly beautiful song on an old (1:00).

Mary and Charles set out visit a longtime informant of Mary’s at his mountain home where he’s seen drawing water (4:14). He sings them a cheerful sounding folksong called ‘Dick German the Cobbler.’ Mary asks him if he can tell them anything about the folklore song they’re searching for but he’s not familiar the words to the song and instead directs them to another townsperson, Miss Briscoe / Sister Sookie (6:38). They stop by the Yokum Creek convenience store first to ask for directions to her house (7:00). Unfortunately, Miss Briscoe also did not know about "The Two Sisters", but she took time to sing the duo another old song, “Kissing on the Sly,” before they went on their way (9:59). She suggests that her brother Fred Hyde might know the song. He’s shown singing on his front porch singing an old folk song when they arrive to his house (12:44), but he doesn’t know the song they’re looking for either. Fred tells them that he does know a man in a hospital who may know the song they sought. An elderly man is seen lying on his hospital bed, singing on his guitar (14:45). He also did not know "The Two Sisters." He entertained them for a bit until they left to continue searching for the elusive song. Finally at a "Play Party," a popular get together that took place in in parts of rural United States from middle 18...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d5baf969-f9c3-4cdf-8398-9e2303d71f77/b437e361-1131-4057-b7e4-5d5dbce97b68-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/soKPEGtAiPkJcw8MFcqo4z</video:player_loc><video:duration>1529</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:24:56.950Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qbcPq6rBafFywr4eot8wsT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a107b48a-6aa2-46ad-ab26-3fe160fae5b3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OCCUPATION OF JAPAN BY U.S. ARMY   BIG PICTURE TV SHOW  58124</video:title><video:description>The United States Army presents “The Big Picture Occupation of Japan,” — a Signal Corps Pictorial Center produced weekly television report that highlighted the occupation of Japan at the end of World War II. The film also focused on the United States’ important role in rebuilding and strengthening Japan after the war. The 1953 U.S. Army training film begins with an introduction from Sergeant Stuart Queen (1919–1981), a World War II veteran and Korean War combat broadcaster, who says earnestly into the camera, “Japan is the key to the fate of the Far East. Once again for the second time in the march of modern history those words have urgent reality. But now there is a difference in their meaning.” He goes on to discuss the United States’ multi-level relationship with Japan (0:46). Next, we see footage of United States former occupation troops arriving back to their base in Japan and being greeted by a cheering Japanese crowd waving American flags in the next clip (1:35). The narrator reminds viewers that the troops are seen by the Japanese people “not as overlords, not as antagonist, not as men who are distrusted and feared and resented, but as friends.” The film then moves to American troop marching through the streets of Japan in the fall of 1945, while Japanese residents stood silent, worried and huddled near the streets (mark 2:57). 
At mark 03:22, we’re shown a clip of Japan after the war, decimated cities and architecture, destroyed roads and displaced citizens, then at mark 3:52 we see a “new” Japan, now completely rebuilt with towering buildings, rebuilt roads and a bustling, active city. We see at mark 4:25 a large group of Japanese citizens at a rally listening to what appears to be a Communist leader. At mark 4:45 we see Japanese mob demonstration and a car set on fire. At mark 6:05, we see workers hard at work. At mark 6:23, the narrator discusses Japan’s new constitution, developed with America’s assistance and other reforms, including Japan’s new civ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c3c80c5f-d452-4568-b440-70b824549197/6d490dfc-595d-42c2-8f83-a6c411e7ff1d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qbcPq6rBafFywr4eot8wsT</video:player_loc><video:duration>1685</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:25:48.266Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/e744KEbeH7Z9AhkGfZ8xuU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a7166fef-6d85-4ea4-a3ea-97185a4945f3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SOUTHEAST ALASKA  MAGNIFICENT NORTHLAND  1950s TRAVELOGUE 56804</video:title><video:description>Produced by Joseph Yolo and narrated by Tom Bostic, Southeast Alaska: Our Magnificent Northland is a short film promoting Southeast Alaska. Despite the end of the gold rush era, Alaska still has a special allure to it. Unlike much of the rest of the state—and countries with a similar latitude—Southeast Alaska has a mild climate, tempered by a warm water current. Covering much of Southeast Alaska is the Tongass National Forest (02:31), home to millions of hemlock and spruce, totem poles, and abundant wildlife. Southeast Alaska’s principle towns are Skagway, Juneau, Sitka, Wrangell, and Ketchikan. Ketchikan (03:45) is the “salmon capital of the world.” Commercial fishing and fishing tourism dominate the region, thanks to large populations of salmon and Alaskan Black Cod (04:20). Pontoon planes (04:33) are a common mode of transportation: Alaska has seventy times the per-capita use of airplanes than the rest of the U.S. Juneau, Alaska’s capital, now has a modern airport to service airline jets (04:55), making travel to Southeast Alaska easier and more affordable. Another major attraction of Southeast Alaska is the totem poles (06:25) that dot the landscape. Residents and tourists alike enjoy all that Southeast Alaska has to offer, including Tongass National Forest (07:48), playing on sandy beaches (08:00), and dog-powered transportation (08:16). Mendenhall Glacier and Mendenhall Lake (08:33; 09:50) are not only major tourist attractions, but they also provide jobs to those willing to harvest the pure ice (08:54). North and South Sawyer Glaciers (09:19) at the end of Tracy Arm, producing tons of icebergs, are another highlight of the region. The glaciers are receding, and the receding Mendenhall glacier left an ancient fertile bed that is now used for agriculture (10:08). The U.S. Forest Service is developing the Tongass National Forest (10:34) so that it can help build and support Alaskan communities. Logging in Tongass National Forest (10:56) is a major industry, a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6a1f2765-50b6-4d00-8542-614250af19d0/3e9a4f4c-4277-4cfe-b367-b3bf52b5cdd9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/e744KEbeH7Z9AhkGfZ8xuU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1099</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:27:37.452Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/apM2YFeagEHYyrjvtXJ7Li</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ee48273d-0257-4531-975b-430e4856dc77.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1964 GREAT ALASKA EARTHQUAKE MOVIE "THOUGH THE EARTH BE MOVED"  87354</video:title><video:description>THOUGH THE EARTH BE MOVED tells the story of the 1964 Alaskan earthquake, also known as the Great Alaskan earthquake and Good Friday earthquake, that occurred at 5:36 P.M. AST on Good Friday, March 27. Across south-central Alaska, ground fissures, collapsing structures, and tsunamis resulting from the earthquake caused about 139 deaths.

The film primarily chronicles the first 72 hours after the 1964 Alaska Earthquake and the response to the disaster by the United States Office of Civil Defense, U.S. Military, and local, state, and federal officials, both civilian and military. Includes extensive archival footage of the earthquake and aftermath.

Lasting four minutes and thirty-eight seconds, the magnitude 9.2 megathrust earthquake was the most powerful recorded in North American history, and the second most powerful recorded in world history. Soil liquefaction, fissures, landslides, and other ground failures caused major structural damage in several communities and much damage to property. Anchorage sustained great destruction or damage to many inadequately earthquake engineered houses, buildings, and infrastructure (paved streets, sidewalks, water and sewer mains, electrical systems, and other man-made equipment), particularly in the several landslide zones along Knik Arm. Two hundred miles southwest, some areas near Kodiak were permanently raised by 30 feet (9.1 m). Southeast of Anchorage, areas around the head of Turnagain Arm near Girdwood and Portage dropped as much as 8 feet (2.4 m), requiring reconstruction and fill to raise the Seward Highway above the new high tide mark.

In Prince William Sound, Port Valdez suffered a massive underwater landslide, resulting in the deaths of 30 people between the collapse of the Valdez city harbor and docks, and inside the ship that was docked there at the time. Nearby, a 27-foot (8.2 m) tsunami destroyed the village of Chenega, killing 23 of the 68 people who lived there; survivors out-ran the wave, climbing to high gr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4c341b9e-e8a9-49e1-9d7a-5d279c064d01/4b5b6a0f-0fed-46bf-abc6-1806fac53f22-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/apM2YFeagEHYyrjvtXJ7Li</video:player_loc><video:duration>2731</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:34:12.284Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mAQdFAJH945yuMDsF5W6wV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/366b9681-7b56-4ba3-8d8e-3d668d9dbe10.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE SILENT SERVICE TV SHOW   NAUTILUS AND THE NUNS  56734</video:title><video:description>Dating to 1958, this episode of "The Silent Service" -- an early television show produced by Twin Dolphins Productions -- is entitled "Nautilus and the Nuns". Like all the episodes of this show, this one is based on real events, as fourteen nuns were evacuated from Bougainville in the Solomon Islands aboard the U.S.S. Nautilus in 1942. In reality, 26 adults were rescued from Bougainville in the operation, and deposited on Tulagi before continuing on to Australia. 

The show features Admiral Thomas M. Dykers as host and has an appearance at the end by Sister Irene of the Congregation of St. Joseph, who was one of the nuns evacuated by submarine. It was directed by Jean Yarborough. 

This episode features Peter Hansen, Mary Field, Peggy Stewart, Gail Kobe, Brett King, Robert Herrman, Joe Flynn, Don Nagel, Arthur Hanson, Joseph Breen, and Barry Harvey.

USS Nautilus (SF-9/SS-168), a Narwhal-class submarine and one of the "V-boats", was the third ship of the United States Navy to bear the name.

The recently constructed advanced waste treatment plant (00:31) recycles domestic sewage for use as cooling and process water for the major industries in the San Francisco Bay area. It is one of the most advanced systems, constructed with state-of-the-art computer and instrumentation control systems featuring microcomputers (01:18). Two mainframe computers (01:27) are programmed to control plant equipment, such as pumps (01:30), valves, fans, motors, and circuit breakers. The Plant Operator has full control of the operations through the use of a high-tech touch-screen monitor computer (01:50). Graphics present crucial information to plant operators, using traditional trend recorders (02:11) as well as displaying plant schematics (02:27). The schematics tell operators whether systems are on or off, open or shut, or any other operating status necessary to safely run the plant. Data is recorded and turned into graphs for plant supervisors, so they can study long-term trends and plan for the future of the facility and each area of it, like the water-holding area (04:53). Future plans include being self-sufficient by producing its own energy from thermal byproducts, having a modern machine shop and maintenance shop, and having three well-equipped labs to monitor quality control. The film ends with several shots of the facility (05:51).

The Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD), also called Central San, provides sanitary sewage transport and treatment for the central portion of Contra Costa County, California. The main facility is a 54-million-US-gallon (200,000 m3) per day treatment plant in residential Martinez, California and it provides service to approximately 462,000 residents. It operates and maintains 1,500 miles (2,400 km) of sewer li...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/42f4a3cf-91ab-412f-a46d-ca005a327c32/bdeefd37-3ff9-4017-819f-68e2973db032-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9gxrnN9cSuyAXwjtKNGTRL</video:player_loc><video:duration>418</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:35:18.641Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rAb9ti3eSFw2jZuVfYeTJL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2eb6bbee-7ea5-4994-9758-1664c79ccedc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SPACE SHUTTLE ENTERPRISE LANDING TESTS &amp; SHUTTLE PROGRAM OVERVIEW 59094</video:title><video:description>This short 1979 film, Space Shuttle: America’s Space Transportation System, is produced by Rockwell International’s Space Division and promotes the future of the U.S. space transportation system using space shuttles. The film primarily uses still images, but it opens with actual footage of the space shuttle orbiter Enterprise making its landing in October 1977 (00:10). The film discusses how the space shuttles are reusable cargo carriers, which launch from either the Kennedy Space Center (00:52) or Vandenberg Air Force Base. The film gives an overview of launch, rocket detachment, and moving into orbit. Once in orbit, the cargo bay doors open and the shuttle can remove a satellite and set it into Earth’s orbit. Shuttle orbiters can also fix or recover satellites, providing major cost savings. The film concludes with an overview of how the shuttles reenter Earth’s atmosphere, operating like a plane as they touch down on 15,000-foot runways. The quick turnaround on getting shuttles back into space allows NASA to make 60 shuttle flights each year with only 5 shuttles, another cost-effective feature of the program and the shuttles.
 
The Space Shuttle program was the United States government's manned launch vehicle program, administered by NASA from 1972 to 2011 and first flown in 1981. Its official name, Space Transportation System (STS), was taken from a 1969 plan for a system of reusable spacecraft of which it was the only item funded for development.
The Space Shuttle—composed of an orbiter launched with two reusable solid rocket boosters and a disposable external fuel tank—carried up to eight astronauts and up to 50,000 lb (23,000 kg) of payload into low Earth orbit (LEO). When its mission was complete, the orbiter would re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and land like a glider at either the Kennedy Space Center or Edwards Air Force Base.
The first experimental orbiter Enterprise was a high-altitude glider, launched from the back of a specially modified Boeing 747,...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/cf3a01e5-15fe-47ad-b2d2-2aaa0f2f6864/a2efdb23-d154-49e3-9b96-c016c14292fa-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rAb9ti3eSFw2jZuVfYeTJL</video:player_loc><video:duration>459</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:35:55.601Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3ZBaV89xajydqpDoDEhRzT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4762d62d-8b79-4805-a5c2-fd297bbd268a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LUFTWAFFE NAVIGATION TRAINING FILM   BRITISH ISLANDS NAZE TO FLAMBOROUGH  59784</video:title><video:description>Dating to the 1930s, this 16mm silent film is ostensibly a study of the geography of the British Isles from the Naze to Falmborough Head. Interestingly, when this film was recovered by collector Clint Daniel (who runs the website danielsww2.com) this film was in a Luftwaffe marked canister. We can assume based on this that the film was actively being shown to Luftwaffe crews during the war, and that makes sense since a film like this one would have greatly added to their navigational prowess. 

Normally a silent film like this one would have been accompanied by a script that would be spoken aloud by a teacher or presumably a superior officer.

This short film looks at the development of U.S. Air Force during the final two years of the 1930s, focusing on the U.S. response to the rise of Nazi Germany. The film begins with the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Goodwill flight (01:18) on 17 February 1938 to Buenos Aires, Argentina. The squadron of B-17s, led by General Robert Olds (01:35) leaves the U.S. for South America. Other notable members of the mission include Caleb B Hayes, Harold L. George, and Major General Cutis E. LeMay (02:25). Upon their return, completing the successful mission, the group earns the MacKay Trophy, which is presented to them by Secretary of War Harry Woodring (02:32). Despite American aviation advances, it is no match for the rapid air expansion of Germany under Adolf Hitler (03:00) and Air Minister Marshall Hermann Goering (03:23); the latter oversees construction of Germany’s new air force. Hitler and his advisors review plans (03:47) prior to invading Austria on 12 March 1938. This puts the Americans on guard, and Major General Frank Andrews (04:12) gives the order to put GHQ Air Force on defense maneuvers. The mock air defense of New England is a massive undertaking. The “attack” on Farmingdale, New York involves black outs, night raids, a small force of Douglas B-18s (05:12), and a squad of P-26 Fighters, which are filmed flying over the New York City skyline (05:21). The bombers drop flares (05:58) during the simulation, while ground forces fire blanks at the attacking bombers (06:05) for the most realistic air exercise possible. General Martin declares the exercise a success (06:24). The film then cuts to General Henry “Hap” Arnold who becomes Chief of the Army Air Corps (06:33). On 30 September 1938, the Munich Agreement is signed—a settlement on Germany’s annexation of the Sudetenland area of Czechoslovakia—and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returns to England (06...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/58f50bf9-a44d-4fa2-a1b3-6d51b9e4cdab/b6957f4f-1144-4ed3-8750-874a8b72300f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bZ7VqCpNfCX5SqHwpW1xqx</video:player_loc><video:duration>880</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:40:35.067Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6V2MnGDUzSP26CYNV9kDzj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/29b7ca4e-5141-4025-b269-7d68be7142f0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE GREATEST DRAMA  "MISTER NEW YORK"  GROVER WHALEN BIOGRAPHY 59004</video:title><video:description>This episode of "The Greatest Drama" -- Mister New York -- is about Grover Whalen (1886-1962) and the influential role he played in New York City politics and society. The film begins by acknowledging that Grover Whalen (00:17) is master of the ticker tape parades that began in New York City (the first ticker tape parade occurred the year of Whalen’s birth, celebrating the dedication of the Statue of Liberty). Whalen tells the viewers how he organized the parades (00:29), making them a symbol of New York City, the “world’s most magnificent and open-hearted city.” The film’s narrator informs viewers that Whalen was born and raised on the Lower East Side, as viewers are treated to footage of New York City during the 1890s (01:25),  including a simple street carousel (01:45). Whalen, ever the bright student, enters politics and gets his foot into New York City Hall (02:22). Whalen helps John F. Hylan (02:30) become mayor in 1918. Hylan appoints him to run the parades, and Whalen oversees a number of parades, including: welcoming home the Dough Boys and General John J. Pershing (02:39); greeting Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd in 1926 with a flotilla (02:55), then escorting Byrd to the city for the parade (03:11); welcoming Queen Marie of Romania (03:36) in October 1926; honoring Gertrude Ederle (03:50), the first woman to swim the English Channel—more than two million people turned out for her parade; and celebrating Charles Lindbergh (04:04) on 13 June 1927. When not throwing parades, Whalen works in a department store (04:19). In 1928, Whalen is sworn in as Police Commissioner by Mayor Jimmy Walker (04:33). Whalen shows no mercy for mobsters and bootleggers, sending raiding squads to arrest crime bosses (04:56; 05:19). Whalen ruthlessly enforces prohibition laws, but then resigns due to criticisms for his role in the escalating use of violence by police. In 1933, Whalen becomes the National Recovery Act Director of New York (05:34) and plans the 1939 New York World’s ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2fe53624-d23c-4f0b-b4b5-1462a78d6ed8/79342ca3-0e48-4453-b0b7-61cb41417b07-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6V2MnGDUzSP26CYNV9kDzj</video:player_loc><video:duration>711</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:42:32.648Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/c9nC3wQjfUCH54v6QscANA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/876713b1-5384-42c3-a470-95ecb861f1bd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1966 TOURNAMENT OF ROSES PARADE  WALT DISNEY  PASADENA CALIFORNIA 56984</video:title><video:description>Presented by the Tournament of Roses Association, this profile of the 1966 Rose Parade with Grand Marshall Walt Disney begins with footage of LAX International Airport and the city of Pasadena which hosts the event. At :52 you will see Pasadena City Hall and at 1:00 aerial footage of downtown. At 1:12 is the Jet Propulsion Lab or JPL. The Mariner satellite is seen being launched. At 2:01, Pasadena City College is shown, with college girls with hilarious haircuts including the famed "bubble cut". At 2:23, the Queen of the Tournament of Roses is shown. The 1966 Parade's theme is "It's a Small World". At 2:40 the court is shown being presented. At 3:00 the Parade is seen taking shape. At 3:59, Mr. Walt Disney the Grand Marshall for the Parade,  is seen with Mickey Mouse. (It would be one of his last public appearances -- sadly he would not live to see 1967.) At 4;12 a Disney themed float from the City of Burbank is seen, followed by the Long Beach Mounted Police displaying the American Flag. At 5:51 Floyd Gwynn, the mayor of Pasadena, is shown. At 9:50 a float from the Helms Bakery of Culver City is shown. At 16:48, the so-called Negro Rose Parade Committee float is shown. 

The 1966 Rose Bowl, played on January 1, 1966, was the 52nd Rose Bowl Game. The UCLA Bruins defeated the #1 ranked Michigan State Spartans by a score of 14–12. UCLA defensive back Bob Stiles was named the Rose Bowl Player Of The Game.

The film follows several men and one woman as they depart various locations (Germany, Bahrain, Scotland, and Paris) to travel to the U.S. via Heathrow Airport. The use of British Airways’ supersonic Concorde jet allows these passengers to cross the Atlantic in just over 3.5 hours. The Concorde lands (02:25) in London at Heathrow International Airport, where it waits for passengers to board it before flying to the U.S. The passengers board the Concorde, Flight 579, and enjoy the “club-like” cabin as the jet (08:50) and the flight deck crew (09:21) prepare to depart. The Concorde takes off (09:50) from Heathrow and flies through the sky (10:37) while passengers enjoy the high-end cabin services (10:56). Twenty minutes out of London, the Concorde prepares to reach supersonic speed (12:30); the smooth transition is hardly noticed by the passengers as they Concorde climbs up to its cruising altitude of 57,000 feet (13:18). The jet reaches speeds twice the speed of sound (14:33), before decelerating as it prepares to land at Dulles International Airport (15:53). The Concorde lands (16:31) in just over 3.5 hours, having covered 3,780 miles. Mobile lounges greet the jet (17:05) and take the passengers to the terminal. The film concludes by briefly following the featured passengers on their way to their respective destinations while touting the possibilities created by halving the time it takes to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.

The Aérospatiale/BAC Concorde is a British-French turbojet-powered supersonic passenger jet airliner that was operated until 2003. It had a maximum speed over twice the speed of sound at Mach 2.04 (1,354 mph or 2,180 km/h at cruise altitude), with seating for 92 to 128 passengers. First flown in 1969, Concorde entered service in 1976 and continued flying for the next 27...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b31bf84a-1a41-4682-b8c9-578dbaa01a9a/8e39ac67-4b87-4648-a5b2-4517d6b77f41-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/o7NbbNRfsxU8hkfs5Whw7E</video:player_loc><video:duration>1370</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:44:53.399Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6WqRn8aF89H3kRpD1LA6Ts</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/57a63e7b-9635-40dc-9eb1-19dff1916cce.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BOEING VERTOL MODEL 107  HELICOPTER ICING &amp; WEATHER TESTS   30554b</video:title><video:description>This 1960s film, Operation Ice Cloud, produced by the Vertol Division of the Boeing Company, shows viewers how a testing rig, which creates an “ice cloud,” is used to create icy conditions for testing aircraft. The film features testing on Vertol’s Model 107 transport helicopter (00:51)—also known as the Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knight—as engineers subject the helicopter to two months of testing. Tests include deicing technology for helicopter blades, rotor deicing, and anti-icing of windshields and engine air inlets. Testing occurs at Uplands Airport, near Ottawa, Canada, which is home to the Royal Canadian Air Force Central Experimental and Proving Establishment (00:22), the test and evaluation center for military aircraft, and the National Aeronautical Establishment Flight Research Section (00:29), the aviation division of the National Research Council. The “spray rig” (00:42) creates a cloud of moisture that, in Canada’s sub-freezing temperatures, simulates icy conditions necessary to test helicopter ice protection systems (02:44). Engineers study how ice builds up on blades, looking at ice patterns on the blades (04:07), and test deicing technology—a fiberglass deicing blanket on the blade (04:14). An illustration demonstrates how the heating elements of the blanket work (04:46), allowing ice to build up to 3/16 inch, the ideal thickness to safely reach before triggering the deicing system.

The film touts the major advancements in containers and freight transportation found on highways, waterways, and railways. The strong, durable steel boxes are a new system of freight that saves companies and shipping lines both time and money. Several shots related to shipping, including what appears to be the waterfront of New York City (00:43), start off the film. Various sizes of shipping containers are used to effectively and safely transport goods: some are as small as 10’x10’ while others are up to 40’ in length. Even at such large sizes, containers are easily moved from one shipping method to another, such as from a semi-truck to a barge (02:14). The strength of the steel frames allows the containers to be stacked on top of each other, maximizing the use of space. The essential principle of containerization is the shipment of many pieces of cargo as a single unit, such as Dodge V8 engines (05:18). At Hobart Brothers’ Troy, Ohio plant (05:37), art wielding units are loaded and sealed in containers as a single Seatrain unit, saving the company money on packaging materials. At the Ford Motor Company’s Tractor Division Plant, 10-speed transmissions come off the production line and are loaded into containers as a single unit (06:38); these containers are then loaded onto a ship (08:15) and are sent to Antwerp, Belgium (08:25) where they are unloaded, the contents undamaged. The safety and near-pilfering proof construction has reduced the cost of shipping insurance, further saving companies money. Steel plays the primary role in the containers because of its strength and fire-resistant quality. Other companies, including Chris-Craft (10:57) and Singer Company (11:09) have saved money using containerization to ship cargo. The film concludes by boasting of the benefits of containerization and show...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8e966fd1-5050-4727-aaa3-f299a112e371/8f1aff4e-3aae-4d4c-ba9c-4200625ba4f0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iBe4oXWUsw9TYjvUnQj768</video:player_loc><video:duration>740</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:45:37.399Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mA9ENBqupMP3LryjFa6Afh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b4fe8e83-67b8-4b6b-b1d6-e9413e6a41a1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FIRE FIGHTING ABOARD AIRCRAFT CARRIERS U.S. NAVY TRAINING FILM   27954</video:title><video:description>This U.S. Navy fire training film was produced by Technical Communications, Inc. in 1969 and is an overview of the fire fighting course for men assigned to carrier duty. Made in the wake of the disastrous fire aboard USS Oriskany in 1966 and the USS Forrestal fire  in 1967, the purpose of this film is to educate the Hangar Deck crew on how to confine, control and/or extinguish a fire on a naval aircraft carrier.

The opening scene (0:14) is a naval aircraft carrier at sea -- most likely USS Kitty Hawk CVN-63. It then zooms in on a naval aircraft being moved into a hangar. At (0:36) the narrator begins to talk about how every man on deck needs to be prepared to fight fire. A fire on a hanger deck moves fast and fire is shown at (44:16).  At (1:04) an airplane lands of the deck of the naval ship. The Control Tower on the flight deck is shown at (1:16) and pans out to a view of the full deck with airplanes and heavy motor equipment shown.  Footage of the Hanger Deck personnel is shown, while the Aviation Fuel Repair Team and fire hoses are featured at (1:56).  At (2:02) men with protective ear gear can be seen holding fire extinguisher equipment, while a fuel valve is opened. Conflag stations are discussed next in the film. A Conflag station, also known as the lookout station is shown at (2:20) and airplanes are shown at (2:27).  A fire on a tire is shown at (2:38). Between (2:45 to 3:52) the film shows how communication between the Conflag station and the Communication Center works; showing phone communication and the mapping of the fire location. The fire is extinguished at (3:19). Control panels are shown at (3:41).

The closing of large doors on the aircraft at (3:52 to 4:43) can be accomplished either electronically or manually. Operation of closing these doors is part of the basic training for hangar deck fires and is the first of three ways to extinguish a fire. A block and tackle rig is shown at (4:49).

The second way to extinguish a fire is by foam.

This 1945 U.S. Navy training film, Quit Stalling—Or Spin In! (MN-4353a), teaches pilots the dangers of stalling, or spinning, and how to avoid crashing. A stall is what happens when an aero foil cannot make enough lift to keep the aircraft in level flight. The film features a Navy instructor who presents a series of case studies from the Navy’s office of Flight Safety Flight Statistics (00:52). The film begins with footage of a plane stalling and crashing into the ground (00:14); the remains of the pilot are recovered by the military. The Navy instructor reviews some of the key rules to avoid stalling: the steeper the bank or the sharper the pull-up—the higher the “G” (02:14); the higher the “G” and the heavier the load, the higher the stalling speed (03:10); and keep flying speed (03:31). Since more than half of all spin accidents occur during landing approaches, the Navy instructor reviews several cases involving landing approaches, including lacking speed during a turn (03:58) and slow gliding on aircraft carrier (05:20). Next, the film shows footage of a PV-1 as the narrator recounts a fatal spin accident involving the same plane, which killed the entire six-member crew. The instructor then discusses cases of crashes involving spin that occurred during takeoffs. This is followed by spin accidents that happened during simulated emergency training (07:32); in one case, an instructor and student on a b-stage flight in what appears to be a Navy N2S Stearman (08:09) entered a simulated spin but crashed due to insufficient altitude, with fault assigned to the instructor. The fourth key to avoiding crashes during spins is to never make steep turns at low altitudes (09:00). The instructor reviews graphs for necessary speeds b...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fafb3729-9b4d-4406-b038-515d16880f9c/bbbe0714-40a6-4962-a70b-11f71cd83178-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wZxUmXUWvdHBqwpkZrr3sq</video:player_loc><video:duration>1027</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:46:48.289Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7ZgQycLgWxCZgPLntPkFxC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7eee691a-440c-481e-8266-2d3cc3dc411c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>VICTORY AT YORKTOWN   AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR BATTLE RE-ENACTMENT 53434</video:title><video:description>The 1979 short film Victory at Yorktown, narrated by William Conrad, features the reenactment of British troops surrendering to American and French forces on 19 October 1781 at Yorktown, Virginia’s Surrender Field, an event that spurred negotiations to end hostilities and end the American Revolutionary War. The film only depicts the surrender of British forces, as British troops march to Surrender Field (00:10), American and French soldiers lining the road. Hessian mercenaries march with British troops (03:08), while local civilians flock to the area to watch the historical moment (03:43). Local militias in their makeshift uniforms stand at attention (04:40) as the British force arrives at Surrender Field and lay down their weapons (07:43). 

The Siege of Yorktown, also known as the Battle of Yorktown, the Surrender at Yorktown, German Battle or the Siege of Little York, ending on October 19, 1781, at Yorktown, Virginia, was a decisive victory by a combined force of American Continental Army troops led by General George Washington and French Army troops led by the Comte de Rochambeau over a British Army commanded by British peer and Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis. The culmination of the Yorktown campaign, the siege proved to be the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War in the North American theater, as the surrender by Cornwallis, and the capture of both him and his army, prompted the British government to negotiate an end to the conflict. The battle boosted faltering American morale and revived French enthusiasm for the war, as well as undermining popular support for the conflict in Great Britain.

On the morning of October 17, a drummer appeared followed by an officer waving a white handkerchief. The bombardment ceased, and the officer was blindfolded and led behind the French and American lines. Negotiations began at the Moore House on October 18 between Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Dundas and Major Alexander Ross (who represented the Br...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3895fca1-ef45-476d-96bd-111d885cc0ae/df8497a7-c583-4909-b04c-54c1741c49b1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7ZgQycLgWxCZgPLntPkFxC</video:player_loc><video:duration>705</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:47:06.009Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uuNChPiqHT1X46JVDskEV6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/69c11518-e136-4acb-b239-30edd03d912f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PRODUCTION OF SPERRY GYRO-COMPASSES BY DODGE BROTHERS  IN WWII 58834</video:title><video:description>Made during WWII, AS THE WORLD SPINS details the work of Dodge Brothers, a division of Chrysler, in WWII war production. The film focuses on electric gyro-compasses designed by Sperry, which needed to be mass produced for the wartime Liberty Ship and Victory Ship effort, as well as for the fleet. With Sperry overwhelmed by demand, Dodge picked up the slack and pulled off one of the engineering miracles of the war, producing the extremely complex device in large numbers and in record time.

The film begins with a brief history of the compass and shows how the magnetic compass was subject to deflection once ships were made out of metal and not out of wood. It was replaced by an electric compass, incapable of being deflected by metal and (also important) magnetic mines which were used by the Germans. At 2:12, the toll on shipping taken by magnetic mines in the Battle of the Atlantic is vividly demonstrated as a ship hits a mine and is badly damaged. At 2:29, the principle of a degaussing cable is shown, but unfortunately it destroys the accuracy of magnetic compasses.At 2:50 the Sperry gyro compass, which is not affected by deflecting purposes, is shown. Its advantages are described. Up to five repeater and master compasses are used on a ship, as shown at 4:00. At 4:27, the Dodge plant is shown, with its production line used to produce large numbers of gyrocompasses in record time. At 4:50, sub-assembly of the compass is shown, with different tasks being assigned to various parts of the factory -- with each compass using up to 10K parts inside. 300 sub-contractors supplied machine parts to Dodge for this work. At 7:00, the difficult work of assembling the rotor for the gyroscope is seen. At 8:18, constant inspection of precision parts is shown. At 13:19, "hot runs" of the gyrocompass and repeater compasses is shown to ensure perfect operation. At 14;15, a female war worker takes a record of the compass' readings. At 16:00, crated gyrocompasses are shipped.

The film was produced by Stuart Legg . The War for Men's Minds describes the impact of propaganda from the Axis powers in 1943, during the Second World War. 

The film shows how in 1943, Allied forces are confronting a sophisticated means of war, the propaganda campaign that the Axis powers employ. In Italy, the Fascist regime led by Benito Mussolini made use of propaganda, including pageantry and fiery speeches, to inspire the nation and lead the populace to war.

The Nazi Party in the years leading up to and during Adolf Hitler's leadership of Germany also used propaganda to gain widespread support for Nazi policies and later, to maintain power. Both Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, the head of the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda were skillful masters of propaganda.

The Nazi Party's manipulation of all forms of media from newspaper, books and films became omnipresent and extended beyond Germany. Filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl created two epic propaganda films, Der Sieg des Glaubens or Victory of Faith (1933) and Triumph des Willens or Triumph of the Will (1935) that depicted the fervent Nazi multitudes in the 1930s Nuremberg Rallies.

Despite President Franklin D. Roosevelt's passionate address in his 1941 State of the Union, articulating the Four Freedoms: Freedom of speech, Freedom of worship, Freedom from want and Freedom from fear, a homegrown German American Bund was formed, espousing Nazi values. By the time they entered the global conflict, Americans rejected the politics of fear and hate.

Through the efforts of information bureaus and traditional media sources such as newspapers, radio and newsreel films, the Allies have attempted to counter the Axis propaganda. The universal principles of liberty, equality and fraternity along with the four freedoms ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/47a1d51f-5ebe-43ce-a225-b4f3fab1f5c8/2cdc3429-8de1-439d-9c62-f595062c2078-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9R35jRLhvdEMzVpwLeD6Qu</video:player_loc><video:duration>1312</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:48:43.140Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/toaZYLMuAPGAMeFyYQcBYz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/01cd81ff-fe84-46e7-94bc-c67e038d3573.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>F-14 TOMCAT PROGRESS REPORT #5   THE OPERATIONAL TOMCAT &amp; SHAH OF IRAN  79574</video:title><video:description>Hosted by Rear Admiral Leonard "Swoosh" Snead, the Navy's project manager for the F-14 Tomcat, this 1974 movie provides an update to the on-going efforts to put the aircraft with the fleet. The film shows the remarkable efforts the Grumman employed to test, manufacture, and deploy this remarkable fighter. At this point only 13 aircraft had been delivered from Northrop Grumman to Miramar, and the plane's potential was not fully known. The film shows VF-1 and VF-2 beginning independent operations, and shows VR-124 working the Navy's newest aircraft as twice the expected rate. 

At 1:47 a tour of the maintenance and training facilities is seen, with aircrews being trained with flight simulators and "self study corrals". Color 3/4" videotapes are shown being used to train pilots on aircraft systems. At 2:34 the full-scale cockpit flight trainers are seen.

THOMAS  1930s TRAVELOGUE MOVIE 53654</video:title><video:description>“A Brief Visit to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands” is the first part of a short 1930s film, In the Wake of the Buccaneers, produced by the Division of Motion Pictures for the U.S. Department of Interior. “A Brief Visit” highlights St. Thomas, promoting tourism for the U.S. Virgin Islands, which the U.S. purchased from Denmark in 1916. The film begins with a luxury steam liner arriving at St. Thomas (00:17), where people take a small boat to the island’s capital and largest city, Charlotte Amalie. In Charlotte Amalie, tourists can ride a donkey (01:07) and visit Emancipation Park (01:21)—or Emancipation Gardens — where the proclamation freeing the slaves was supposedly read in 1848. Other highlights of the capital city include Lower Town (01:30), the old drainage system (02:11), the market (02:26) where locals buy and sell produce and other goods, and the Cooperative (03:10). Local women show off woven hats and bags, including the chapo hat (03:28). Other attractions include the beaches of St. Thomas and Lindbergh Bay (04:03). While tourists enjoy the sights of St. Thomas, locals restock the ships’ supplies (04:53), including baskets of coal needed to power the steam ships. North of Charlotte Amalie is The Drake Seat (06:01), which commemorates Sir. Francis Drake and overlooks the scenic Magens Bay. Back in Charlotte Amalie is Bluebeard’s Castle Hotel (06:38), overlooking the harbor. Here, tourists enjoy the hotel and its gardens (07:20), as well as sitting on the veranda and sipping on a freshly prepared Swizzle (07:50), the region’s famous cocktail. The film concludes with a steam liner departing St. Thomas, the “Gem of the Caribbean” (08:43).

The film begins by identifying the six “Factors of Recognition” (02:07): movement, position, shape, shadow, texture, and color. Camouflage allows for the manipulation of these factors to create near invisibility. One key device used for camouflage is dispersion (05:48), or the breaking up of patterns. The film discusses the importance of using natural terrain for concealment whenever possible, staying low to the ground and avoiding disturbing the terrain. With this knowledge, a soldier can plan a route based on the best cover and move across open areas undetected (07:53). While completely hiding is useful (09:30), blending is the most useful technique with camouflage, regardless of the environment or terrain. Adding camouflage to uniforms and helmets (10:00) is critical, and the film provides directions on how to create a helmet cover from scratch when an army-issued cover isn’t available (11:00). Properly applied paint sticks  camouflage the hands and face (12:45) by toning down features of the face and blending color. Equipment should also be camouflaged (15:36) with tape, paint, or other materials; disciplined precautions, such as keeping a metal mess kit from reflecting sunlight, is another way to ensure a soldier’s invisibility. The final preparation, according to the film, is the informed and constant awareness of the need for camouflage, factoring in both ground and aerial enemy perspectives (aerial photography is used to identify tracks on the ground or where trees or foliage has been cut down). The training film notes that the same rules for daytime camouflage apply during nighttime as well, then it concludes with a quick recap of the factors and techniques that must be understood to successfully...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d8aad07f-a4e9-411c-a626-0ac14290593e/bcc1be86-8d40-4893-8ded-71eccc027e2e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sKMNzH6uquKrreMa4b5TRq</video:player_loc><video:duration>1488</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:53:58.088Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/q5BjKqrWkkJ7wxA5cwtZBx</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5f5f7b19-ebd1-4a43-8b41-7e5129decfba.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>APOLLO XII MISSION  VOYAGE TO THE OCEAN OF STORMS 59034</video:title><video:description>Made by contractor North American Rockwell, APOLLO XII VOYAGE TO THE OCEAN OF STORMS provides a detailed overview at mission goals. It relies on NASA still and moving images. Apollo 12 was the sixth manned flight in the United States Apollo program and the second to land on the Moon (an H type mission). It was launched on November 14, 1969, from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, four months after Apollo 11. Mission commander Charles "Pete" Conrad and Lunar Module Pilot Alan L. Bean performed just over one day and seven hours of lunar surface activity while Command Module Pilot Richard F. Gordon remained in lunar orbit. The landing site for the mission was located in the southeastern portion of the Ocean of Storms.

Unlike the first landing on Apollo 11, Conrad and Bean achieved a precise landing at their expected location, the site of the Surveyor 3 unmanned probe, which had landed on April 20, 1967. They carried the first color television camera to the lunar surface on an Apollo flight, but transmission was lost after Bean accidentally destroyed the camera by pointing it at the Sun. On one of two moonwalks, they visited the Surveyor and removed some parts for return to Earth. The mission ended on November 24 with a successful splashdown.

The word “crystal” is derived from the Greek word krystallos, meaning “clear ice.” The film’s narrator describes how two young French brothers, Jacques and Pierre Curie, discovered piezoelectrics in their 19th-century lab when they found that striking or squeezing quartz would produce an electric signal (1:10).  In the beginning, natural quartz was mass produced for use in electronic applications. However the process was very costly, and limited supply eventually became a problem. Bell Telephone Laboratories and Western Electric chemists and engineers had a challenge on their hands: how could they keep quartz costs down and supply unlimited? In a collaborative effort, they set out to create the first man-made quartz crystals (2:51). In 1946, after several attempts, a balance of controlled temperature, pressure, and time enabled them to grow quartz crystals from tiny crystal wafers and seeds (3:35). We see the different outcomes of the experiment in the film: sometimes the seed plates will mysteriously disappear, or emerge unchanged. At other times, even though the crystals will grow—there’d be deformities such as cracks and bubbles (04:47). By studying these early results, researchers were eventually able to create a perfect crystal (5:50). Researchers are seen lowering larger scrap crystals into the bottom of deep cylinders (6:51) and planting crystal seed plates in a subterranean garden (7:16).

Finally, after countless tests, the seeds yielded beautifully clear and uniformed crystals (8:12). Still, additional steps were needed before the raw crystals were ready for use in communication devices. They are sliced to wafers with a diamond saw (8:41), cut to size (8:51),...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/26c85fbe-deba-4cea-8b10-28014630ba65/b330a099-57e4-4b4b-8d60-7a87a9b1c1a8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5MLnZYfT8uMmpHyNnisAF8</video:player_loc><video:duration>650</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T15:58:28.973Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vFYdxj5wMCTj828mBPsztv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9176f678-20ae-42da-82c9-815856dc1f3b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OPERATION BREAKTHROUGH    HUD EQUAL OPPORTUNITY HOUSING 59544  CF</video:title><video:description>Made by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the 1976 film, “Operation Breakthrough Equal Opportunity Housing,” profiles the United States’ first large-scale, unprecedented industrialized housing program. The opening sequence opens with an up-tempo theme, and we’re shown several images of tall residential and business buildings, crowded sidewalks, and streets jam-packed with cars. At mark 02:00 the commentator lists the various factors that limited housing production during the 1960’s, including expensive land and building costs, financing requirements, transportation costs and the need for skilled craftsmen. At mark 03:57 we’re shown on a map the 218 prototype construction sites proposed by government officials. These sites were chosen to showcase the innovative housing methods and materials that would be used. Nine sites were ultimately chosen: Indianapolis, IN; Kalamazoo, MI; King County, WA; Jersey City, NJ; Macon, GA; Memphis, TN; Sacramento, CA; Seattle, WA; and St. Louis, MO. 

At mark 04:26 we’re taken inside a housing systems assembly plant where we see housing producers building and completing the housing units. Pre-assembled wirings, installation, and plumbing, are shown at mark 05:20. “Regardless of the materials used: concrete, wood, metals, plastics, the completed units are strong and durable,” the narrator reminds us at mark 05:31. At mark 6:56 we’re shown a red oversized shipment truck, and a freight train used to transport the completed units to its sites. And at mark 07:15, workers are seen erecting several different units. At mark 08:20, teams of landscape architects and planners are seen at some of the demonstration sites planning and developing concepts. The film comes to a close as an on-screen collage shows happy families of all ages and ethnicities enjoying their Operation Breakthrough constructed homes.

At 7:30, the film discusses the 1976 Viking mission including the dropping of a lander onto the planet's surface. The film speculates that the lander could find life on Mars, and shows at 8:00 possible types of Martian life that could be encountered, including creatures that extract water from rocks, or microscopic organisms.

Mariner 9 (Mariner Mars '71 / Mariner-I) was an unmanned NASA space probe that contributed greatly to the exploration of Mars and was part of the Mariner program. Mariner 9 was launched toward Mars on May 30, 1971 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and reached the planet on November 14 of the same year, becoming the first spacecraft to orbit another planet – only narrowly beating the Soviets' Mars 2 and Mars 3, which both arrived within a month. After months of dust storms it managed to send back clear pictures of the surface. Mariner 9 returned 7329 images over the course of its mission, which concluded in October 1972.

The Viking program consisted of a pair of American space probes sent to Mars, Viking 1 and Viking 2. Each spacecraft was composed of two main parts: an orbiter designed to photograph the surface of Mars from orbit, and a lander designed to study the planet from the surface. The orbiters also served as communication relays for the landers once they touched down.

The Viking program grew from NASA's earlier, even more ambitious, Voyager Mars program, which was not related to the successful Voyager deep space probes of the late 1970s. Viking 1 was launched on August 20, 1975, and the second craft, Viking 2, was launched on September 9, 1975, both riding atop Titan III-E rockets with Centaur upper stages. Viking 1 entered Mars orbit on June 19, 1976, with Viking 2 following suit on August 7.

This John Deere film from 1961 "Men, Ideas and Tractors"  shows how new tractors are designed, built, and tested before being approved for mass manufacturing. The design and early manufacturing stages occur at John Deere’s Waterloo, Iowa operation (00:09). Engineers meet to compare designs and work out issues for the new generation of tractors (in this case, it is the 2010, 2010U, 3010, and 4010 models). Electronic computers are used to help work out problems (01:17), like gear design. Pattern makers take the designs from the engineers and make wood patterns (01:50), which are then used to make casting molds. The parts are then subjected to one or more tests, including crank shafts tested with extreme vibrations (02:39) and reflectoscopes locating defects (03:30). The wood models then become tractor mockups (04:28), engines are tested and data is collected (05:05), and other tests are applied to the tractor. Prior to field testing, the experimental tractor is tested against extreme temperatures (08:51). The tractors move into field testing at the Waterloo testing grounds, where engineers test turns, suspension, towing, and more, carefully recording the data from each test. On one test track, a truck that’s been converted into mobile laboratory is hitched to tractor so engineers can record data on the go (10:37). A Divco panel truck, such as that used by the Helms Bakery in Los Angeles, is towed behind the tractor as a data gathering vehicle. From Waterloo, tractors are taken to the John Deere experimental farms, such as the one in Texas (11:30) where further tests are conducted. Industrial tractors are also subjected to the rigorous field tests (12:25).

It includes a speech made by Stalin at the 1:15 mark, rallying his forces against the invaders. The film includes footage of Russian tank and artillery forces, as well as infantry, assaulting the Germans. The film is also rife with images showing lend-lease supplies such as tanks, and hordes of well-armed, camouflaged troops in winter white, moving towards the front lines.  Ski troops and cavalry units also make appearances after the 5:00 mark. 

The Battle of Moscow  was a military campaign that consisted of two periods of strategically significant fighting on a 600 km (370 mi) sector of the Eastern Front during World War II. It took place between October 1941 and January 1942. The Soviet defensive effort frustrated Hitler's attack on Moscow, the capital of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and the Soviet Union's largest city. Moscow was one of the primary military and political objectives for Axis forces in their invasion of the Soviet Union.

The German strategic offensive, named Operation Typhoon (German: Unternehmen Taifun), called for two pincer offensives, one to the north of Moscow against the Kalinin Front by the 3rd and 4th Panzer Armies, simultaneously severing the Moscow–Leningrad railway, and another to the south of Moscow Oblast against the Western Front south of Tula, by the 2nd Panzer Army, while the 4th Army advanced directly towards Moscow from the west. According to Andrew Roberts, Hitler's offensive towards the Soviet capital was nothing less than an 'all-out attack': "It is no exaggeration to state that the outcome of the Second World War hung in the balance during this massive attack".

Initially, the Soviet forces conducted a strategic defense of the Moscow Oblast by constructing three defensive belts, deploying newly raised reserve armies, and bringing troops from the Siberi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/20fc8a52-56bf-4ba5-995e-7613f6cfed88/d6e11ae1-c06f-447e-bdbc-27ad373fb97a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/55fC2wgqi4ht7zSqM7EUEL</video:player_loc><video:duration>339</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T16:09:04.565Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sCSqf3nTx3mb9ufFxQqbT7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/111a272d-6d20-4899-a6aa-d32442c26e39.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  F.D.R.

The film features a post-flight debriefing with Commander Fred W. Haise, Jr. and pilot C. Gordon Fullerton.

Space Shuttle Enterprise (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-101) was the first orbiter of the Space Shuttle system. Rolled out on September 17, 1976, it was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform atmospheric test flights after being launched from a modified Boeing 747. It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shield, and was therefore not capable of spaceflight.

The Approach and Landing Tests were a series of taxi and flight trials of the prototype Space Shuttle Enterprise, conducted in 1977 to test the vehicle's flight characteristics both on its own and when mated to the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft, prior to the operational debut of the shuttle system.

On January 31, 1977, Enterprise was taken by road to Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base to begin operational testing. While at NASA Dryden Enterprise was used by NASA for a variety of ground and flight tests intended to validate aspects of the shuttle program. The initial nine-month testing period was referred to by the acronym ALT, for "Approach and Landing Test". These tests included a maiden "flight" on February 18, 1977, atop a Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) to measure structural loads and ground handling and braking characteristics of the mated system. Ground tests of all orbiter subsystems were carried out to verify functionality prior to atmospheric flight.

On July 7, 1977, Cmdr. Fan Yuanyan of the People’s Liberation Army Air Force flew his MiG-19 from Jinjiang, Fujian, in the communist People’s Republic of China to Tainan, Taiwan. The timing of this defection, which also came as U.S. President Jimmy Carter was moving decisively toward normalization of relations with the PRC, made Fan an anti-communist star in Taiwan and the U.S.A.  (It also happened to be the 40th anniversary of the beginning of China’s war with Japan, another propaganda plus.) 

Fan Yuanyan was one of the eighteen prominent defectors from China during the period 1960-1989. He was 41 and flew a Shenyang F-6,the Chinese version of the Soviet MIG-19, to Taiwan. He was made a lieutenant colonel in Taiwan’s air force and received $600,000 in gold as a reward for his defection. Fan, though, came to feel uneasy about life in Taiwan.
While he spoke for years afterward on behalf of the “800 million mainland compatriots” who he felt wanted the Taiwan-based Republic of China to retake the mainland, even as he also became more and more critical of the excesses of capitalism and liberalism in Taiwan. 

Professor Andrew Morris Morris has suggested that Fan represented a changing understanding of the role of defectors in the long struggle between China and Tawian, and the ways that Taiwanese people saw their mainland “compatriots” as Taiwan society was beginning to democratize and liberalize.

It is followed by a second film SPACESHIP EARTH showing on-going work on the new Space Shuttle.  

APOLLO-SOYUZ was created prior to the actual mission, and uses footage from prior Apollo missions and concept art. The film also shows the construction and assembly process for the Apollo side of the mission with Deke Slaton and crew shown. The docking module is shown at 1:52 and again at 2:43 when it was displayed at the 1973 Paris Air Show. 

SPACESHIP EARTH shows the prototype Space Shuttle (or the mock-up known as Inspiration ) or Enterprise then under construction. The film uses concept art to show the entire Space Shuttle flight profile, including the use of the robot arm and ESA module. 

The Apollo–Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) conducted in July 1975, was the first joint U.S.–Soviet space flight, as a symbol of the policy of détente that the two superpowers were pursuing at the time. It involved the docking of an Apollo Command/Service Module with the Soviet Soyuz 19. The unnumbered Apollo vehicle was a surplus from the terminated Apollo program and the last one to fly. This mission ceremoniously marked the end of the Space Race that had begun in 1957 with the Sputnik launch.

The mission included both joint and separate scientific experiments (including an engineered eclipse of the Sun by Apollo to allow Soyuz to take photographs of the solar corona), and provided useful engineering experience for future joint US–Russian space flights, such as the Shuttle–Mir Program and the International Space Station.

ASTP was the last manned US space mission until the first Space Shuttle flight in April 1981. It was also U.S. astronaut Donald "Deke" Slayton's only space flight. He was chosen as one of the original Mercury Seven astronauts in April 1959, but had been grounded until 1972 for medical reasons.

Sponsored by the Mobile Home Manufacturers Association, this travel and fishing trip featured outdoor and fishing writers for magazines and newspapers, who write about the trek up to Anchorage, Alaska. The main character of the film is Jack Perry, Outdoor Editor for the Gary, Indiana Post Tribune, and the narration is from his point of view. Perry’s caravan departs from Chicago, Illinois, while a second caravan leaves from Los Angeles, California two days later. The Chicago group heads west, crossing the bridge between Superior, Wisconsin and Duluth, Minnesota (01:13) before entering Canada at International Falls, Minnesota (01:16). The LA caravan drives north, crossing the mist-shrouded Golden Gate Bridge (01:30) on their way. From Fort Frances, Ontario, Perry and his fellow writers take a plane to Spawn Inlet and Bear Lake for a day excursion (01:50). They continue west, entering Prince Albert National Park (04:04) where the explore the scenic forests and waters. In Regina, Saskatchewan, they visit the basic training school for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (05:02). Perry and the Chicago group meet up with the L.A. caravan at Dawson Creek (06:33), British Columbia, where the trailer caravan begins their trip along the Alaska highway. The men stop at Muncho Lake to camp and fish (07:50); they fish the scenic Liard River as well (08:19). During their stop at Watson Lake, Yukon Territory, a Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer and his wife serve the traveling group moose stew (09:03). They continue driving through Yukon Territory (09:24), finally arriving at Whitehorse, where they see a steamboat built for the set of a movie film (09:33). From Whitehorse, the group flies to Alligator Lake for another fishing expedition, courtesy of Pacific Western Airlines (09:52).

Apologies for the issues.

An extremely well-made film produced by the Army Air Forces to show the planning and execution of a program of convalescence at an Army Air Force hospital. Wounded in action, probably low in spirits and discouraged about their particular disabilities, these men are in- corporated immediately into a constructive, active program that helps to build their bodies and minds back to normal ability to function effectively. Instead of an enforced boring rest, the soldiers are given exercises to help restore them to health, work to keep their skills from becoming rusty, entertainment through motion pictures, books, and in- tellectual interests through discussion and study groups. This film should help one to realize the specific elements that go into a well- rounded program of hospital rehabilitation.

The film begins with images of the USS Akron before taking a step back in time to show a WWI type Navy balloon landing on a ship's deck (1:00). A non-rigid Navy blimp, the C-7, is seen at 1:09. At 1:17, USS Los Angeles is seen being christened with President Calvin Coolidge in attendance. USS Shenandoah is seen at 1:38. At 1:42 the construction of the Akron is shown. Construction of ZRS-4 was begun on 31 October 1929 at the Goodyear Airdock in Akron, Ohio by the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation. Because she was larger than any airship previously built in America, a special hangar was constructed. Chief Designer Karl Arnstein and a team of experienced German airship engineers instructed and supported design and construction of both U.S. Navy airships USS Akron and USS Macon. At 3:00 the narrator mentions that the ship would have its engines inside the hull of the airship. At 3:37, cloth is seen being added to the exterior of the ship. At 3:50, one of the ship's motors is shown being tested. At 5:48 operations on the bridge and inside the airship are shown. The film then shows the airship flying over New York, Washington D.C. and other cities. At 7:00, Rear Admiral Moffat is seen speaking to Commander Rosendahl. At 7:40 the film pays a tribute to the gallant crew of Akron who perished in the crash (see below).

USS Akron (ZRS-4) was a helium-filled rigid airship of the U.S. Navy which operated between September 1931 and April 1933. She was the world's first purpose-built flying aircraft carrier, carrying F9C Sparrowhawk fighter planes which could be launched and recovered while she was in flight. With an overall length of 785 ft (239 m), the Akron and her sister ship the Macon were among the largest flying objects ever built. Although the LZ129 Hindenburg and the LZ130 Graf Zeppelin II were some 18 ft (5.5 m) longer and slightly more voluminous, the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/973635b8-e89e-4339-84f3-77ebd52c4b87/a99a871c-141d-4f2e-87c3-3ea3176a17d8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jEZwqiYWKp698VEWQetrqc</video:player_loc><video:duration>548</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T16:20:10.729Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2kbTGJooGWQWGue1ndnSvz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/814f5143-71e0-4ffb-acf2-de9ce8be463d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>12 HOURS OF SEBRING   FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL GRAND PRIX  56894</video:title><video:description>Presented by Gulf Oil, 12 HOURS OF SEBRING presents the Florida International Grand Prix of Endurance. It was produced by Nathan Zucker and shows the 1963 race. In the field you'll see the Ferrari 250P, 330 TRI/LM, 250 GTO, Jaguar E-type, Chevrolet Corvette, Shelby Cobra, Chaparral 1 Corvette, Triumph TR4, Morgan Plus 4, Osca 1600 GT, Alfa Romeo, Abarth-Simca, Porsche, Lotus TVR and Austin MG. The film also shows women participating in the sport, including as pit crew and as drivers. A full list of race results can be seen at: http://www.racingsportscars.com/results/Sebring-1963-03-23.html

For the international members of the automotive press in attendance that year the race held little significance other than it would be the first race run under FIA’s new Manufacturer’s Championship rules. For American sports car fans making the annual trek to Sebring the significance of the ’63 race was that there would be a large contingent of American cars at Sebring to challenge the supremacy of the European cars. Fans of American sports car racing were hoping that this could be “their year.”
Some automotive historians designate 1963 as the first year of what many today refer to as The Ford – Ferrari War which lasted from 1963 to 1967. With six Ford-powered Cobras on the grid, including four from Shelby’s stables and one from Ford’s performance specialist, Holman Moody, this race certainly seemed like an opening salvo!

The 12 Hours of Sebring is an annual motorsport endurance race for sports cars held at Sebring International Raceway, on the site of the former Hendricks Army Airfield World War II air base in Sebring, Florida. The event is the second round of the United SportsCar Championship and in the past has been a round of the now defunct World Sportscar Championship, IMSA GT Championship and American Le Mans Series. In 2012, the race was the opening event of the FIA World Endurance Championship.

The 1964 short film Aviation Mechanic, produced by MPO, promotes the profession of the aviation mechanic and the Academy of Aeronautics (now the Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology). The film covers the wide variety of careers available to an aviation mechanic, including servicing jets for commercial airlines, selling and maintaining private planes, advancing military aircraft, and working on rocket propulsion systems for NASA. Caring for a commercial airline’s fleet is just one job an aviation mechanic can have (00:35), whether that is examining an engine (01:43) or running landing gear retraction tests (02:24). Some aviation mechanics eventually enter the sales side of the business, selling small planes to private parties (04:07). The film shows old footage of planes from the 1920s and 1930s, stressing the ever-evolving world of aviation—including a shot of a Ford Trimotor being maintained at (5:15), people boarding an American Airways Curtiss T-32 Condor II at Chicago Municipal Airport (05:32). Some aviation mechanics contribute to the technological advancements made in aviation, such as the development of vertical takeoff and landing and hovering, as is the case with the US Army Lockheed XV-4 “Hummingbird,” originally the VZ-10 (08:37). Others help with the rocket propulsion systems at NASA (10:56). Students studying at the Academy of Aeronautics (09:22) get the diverse training, including practicing on test panels (10:21) they need to successfully find jobs in their field.

The film follows a single refugee named Roland Venner who is searching for his mother in Linz, Austria. Roland, who had been a divinity student in the pre-war era but ended up in a Russian prisoner camp, now lives as a man without a country. The film shows Roland's story while containing as a backdrop war-torn Austria. As a Church World Service film, the storyline involves the role of the religious community in reuniting displaced families, and rebuilding their lives through charity, faith, and human kindness. The film includes footage of displaced persons living in abandoned buildings and factories, and in shanty towns. At the time it was made 10 million people were considered displaced in Europe.

The film makes many promises which would not hold up over the life of the shuttle program, but which were great sales tools at the time! One of these is a comment that each re-usable Space Shuttle will "be used 100 times or more" (note: Discovery ended up making 39 missions, the most of any shuttle). At 1:00, the film comments on the Space Shuttle Enterprise (or #101) which has recently completed landing tests. It also mentions #102 the Columbia, which shares its name with the Apollo 11 CSM. The film goes on to show the mission profile for the shuttles through animation and artwork. The film mentions that the Space Shuttle may allow new opportunities to manufacture metal alloys in weightlessness, or produce new biomedical products and medicines, and more. The shuttle will also allow servicing of satellites, and construction of many things in space including -- space power stations. (Still waiting on those!)

IN WWII  22554</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Created by the U.S. Navy's Industrial Incentive Division and the Office of Strategic Service (OSS) during WWII, this "Nazi version" of the Normandy invasion is a translated, authentic German newsreel. The strategy at work here is taken from Frank Capra, who used authentic enemy newsreels and motion picture films in his "Why We Fight" series to provide insight into the Axis. This film, like "Why We Fight", was intended to make its intended audience — American war workers to whom these types of incentive films were shown —outraged, helping them focus on the vital task of production. 

The film shows the considerable German coastal defenses at Normandy, and the organized, efficient, and effective resistance they offered on the beaches at 2:00. At 2:29, the pre-dawn aerial attacks by the Allies are met with heavy gunfire. At 3:20, Allied ships encounter barrage mines and light German naval units enter the battle. At 4:48, heavy German artillery enters the battle and makes direct strikes on the invasion fleet. At 5:30 coastal defense are seen including pillboxes and anti-personnel barbed wire and emplacements. At 6:00, SS troops oppose a landing with flame throwing weapons. At 6:22, wrecked landing craft are shown. At 8:11, U.S. Airborne troops who are now prisoner are shown. At 9:20, wrecked WACO gliders are shown as well as Canadian prisoners. At 10:30 the battle continues at Cairns, with heavy bombing by aircraft opposed by railroad-mounted AA guns. At 12:00, civilians are shown fleeing the Allied invasion, as German armored divisions with tanks move forward. A wrecked Canadian Sherman  tank is seen at 13:40. In short, the "German version of Invasion" portrays the German Army in the aftermath of D-Day, apparently winning many battles and turning the tide of war in favor of the Wehrmacht. The film also illustrates how Germany believes it is far from beaten. A unique look at the war from the other side!

The film begins with a flameout followed by an ejection from an F-106 Delta Dart. The film then moves to a classroom, and the instructor uses a combination of lecturers and other Air Force training films to give a broad introduction to the various survival stresses. A short training film depicting the emergency ejection and 45 hours of raw survival by Lt. Edward Stewart (00:33) starts off the lecture. The instructor covers the stresses of survival—fatigue, dehydration, hunger, and others—using clips from training films to highlight various situations, stresses, and how to combat them. The topics the instructor lectures on, supplementing with training films, are: stresses from dessert environments with Sun, Sand, Survival (05:58); artic or cold stresses (11:35) with tips on how to stay warm (15:25); overcoming hunger and its consequences (16:45) as well as dealing with fear (25:42) from Jungle Survival; and coping with injury and shock (22:30) and fear (26:45) in Deep Sea Survival.

The title of the film A SPACESHIP LANDED ON EARTH became part of a larger advertising campaign for Rockwell affiliated with the test program.

Free-flights that are shown in the represented the end of the flight testing program. These saw Enterprise mated to the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft and carried to a launch altitude, before being jettisoned by the use of explosive bolts to glide to a landing on the runways at Edwards AFB. The intention of these flights was to test the flight characteristics of the orbiter itself, on a typical approach and landing profile from orbit.

There were a total of five free-flights between August and October. As shown in this film, the first three saw Enterprise remain fitted with its aerodynamic tail cone, intended to reduce drag and buffetting when mounted on the SCA during flight. The final two had the tail cone removed, with the orbiter in its full operational configuration, with dummy main engines and OMS pods. Enterprise used an air data probe mounted on its nose for these flights. These five flights were to be the only time Enterprise flew alone.

After flying missions on Columbia (STS-2) and Discovery (STS-51-I), Engle reported that the flight and handling characteristics of the operational orbiters were similar to those of Enterprise, except that he had to fly a steeper profile with the prototype, as it was much lighter than the operational spacecraft.

Space Shuttle Enterprise (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-101) was the first orbiter of the Space Shuttle system. Rolled out on September 17, 1976, it was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform atmospheric test flights after being launched from a modified Boeing 747. It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shie...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4d188185-0409-4b49-aebe-da91d5e43298/428ed552-3010-4e40-bb57-1b6d90ccd831-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/awaDuZ9ariMX1AL7chgxNq</video:player_loc><video:duration>396</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T16:32:00.429Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4TExuXoP12FgNqh83TbqyP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a30d7490-8f2a-4cd5-ac0e-67a9e7b99877.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE BROAD FOURTEENS  ROYAL NAVY  MOTOR TORPEDO BOATS IN WWII 25624</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Made in 1945, THE BROAD FOURTEENS is one of the excellent, dramatized accounts of WWII made by the Ministry of Information for morale purposes. The film shows the first posting, and eventual first action, of a newly-trained motor torpedo boat (MTB) crew. ('The Broad Fourteens' is the name given to a patrol area of the North Sea off the Dutch coast.) The film joins the boat and crew at the end of their training (probably HMS Bee, the Coastal Force working up base at Weymouth). The boats featured include 70’ Vosper 1942 class boats, 70’ British Power Boat motor gunboats and MTB 210 — a J Samuel White-built 70’ Vosper which later joined the 13th MTB Flotilla at Dover. The fictional MTB 181 is probably MTB 352, commanded by Lieutenant John M Moore RNVR which joined the 11th MTB Flotilla at Felixstowe after completing her work up. Also featured is MTB 354, commanded by Lieutenant Roland Plugge RN which was the SO's boat, 5th MTB Flotilla, at Dover. The German flak trawler is in fact an RN Isles Class trawler standing in.

(0:48) introduces the viewer to how the "broad fourteens" came to exist. Navy training is depicted (2:15). At the training commander’s office (2:25) the film shows the commander and the captain  conversing about torpedo and battle experiences and strategies. The crew is shown going through their regular activities. They discuss the previous battles as they are called together. The commander and the captain (5:10) discuss the boat’s impending departure. 5:40 shows the operational base as crews and the commander busily arrive the base. (6:48) operation room as a crew brings a report to the commander. The captain talks about his crew alongside another (7:28). At mark 8:00 the film shows the crew’s residential life. The crew are shown prepping for the first operation as their boats head offshore (9:15) and into the deep sea. The captain is shown calculating the boat’s navigation on his map (10:...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1f8219ed-0a1c-4aa6-815d-e4658063298f/43c47d52-70c2-4d12-8519-7a3718206d4f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4TExuXoP12FgNqh83TbqyP</video:player_loc><video:duration>2115</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T16:37:04.826Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qVygyfWE9mG3L3WGXq8jwi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2951c933-4ef2-4b17-9482-7f149537c4fb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>UNITED WAY 1950s PROMOTIONAL FILM  "THERE ARE NO STRANGERS"  53544</video:title><video:description>Made for the United Way in the late 1940s or early 1950s and featuring newsman John Daly, this promotional film for the United Way focuses on the New York and New Jersey vicinity and its needs. The film uses the activities of registered nurse Virginia Bishop to show the good work of the United Way, starting at 1:55, where she is seen at the Visiting Nurses headquarters.

The film is filled with imagery of early computers, and also presents the concept of the "counting machine" starting with the abacus and moving through history to the mechanical computer (1:50). Charles Babbage's counting machine is shown at 2:12. At 2:32, integrated circuits are presented and electronic circuits described. Basic concepts such as Input, Storage, Control, Arithmetic and Output are described next. Various components are seen including punch cards at 3:50, magnetic data tape at 4:20, and magnetic discs at 4:25. At 4:46 an early pen tablet is seen in use. At 6:00 a dot matrix type printer is seen at work and at 6:20 a teletype. Early monitors are shown at 6:20. At 7:20 binary number systems are seen in use on a computer's display. At 7:40, a man is seen typing instructions into a computer. At 8:20, computers are seen in a high school that is equipped with a computer controlled by punch cards. At 8:57 an IBM 1800 computer is shown being used to control a chemical plant. At 9:30 a mission control or ground station for a satellite is shown. At 9:48, more punch cards are seen keeping tabs on credit card and bank accounts. Section of this film were created at the Rand Corporation in Santa Monica, California. 

The IBM 1800 Data Acquisition and Control System (DACS) was a process control variant of the IBM 1130 with two extra instructions (CMP and DCM), extra I/O capabilities, 'selector channel like' cycle-stealing capability and three hardware index registers. IBM announced and introduced the 1800 Data Acquisition and Control System on November 30, 1964, describing it as "a computer that can monitor an assembly line, control a steel-making process or analyze the precise status of a missile during test firing.".

Unlike the 1130, which was a desk-like unit, the 1800 is packaged in 6 foot high, EIA Standard 19 inch racks, which are somewhat t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/155192d7-742c-456e-af7a-e5cb7aeb13a5/ee1a4035-b55d-42da-acb5-c1ea87512948-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3CFMJDXG7x6HrPUcAB79Ht</video:player_loc><video:duration>652</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T16:40:31.889Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6GJDgLQPTUVKy4uBFjthSo</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/890cca98-8dbb-4cc5-8d0a-0f06d9a7f75f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1949 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LOOK   SWIMSUIT GIRLS &amp; MOVIE STUDIOS 57624B</video:title><video:description>This short extract from a Southern California travelogue features stunning images of women modeling the latest swimsuits.

The film begins with general instructions for watching atop a Bell System seal (adjust the sound volume).  After varying shots of ordinary, 1960’s telephones, the film begins explaining a brief evolution of the telephone, ultimately pointing out that voices are made up of sound waves, waves of pressure traveling through the air, which make telephones work.  While sound waves cannot be seen, they occur when the very small particles in the air next to a vibrating string are pushed inward and outward.  At 2:39 a visual appears of a string vibrating a lot, producing a loud sound.  Then the opposite model is shown, with a little vibration and a soft sound.  A diagram of a human with vocal cords shows the same string vibrating in the throat creating the sounds of one’s voice.  The sound waves that make up your voice, according the the commentator, are as unique as your finger print.   The sound waves move into a telephone, and first enter the transmitter, where they strike against a metal plate, called a diaphragm.  This sends a wave of pressure through the grains behind the transmitter.  From here, your voice is transformed from sound to electricity through the phone. 
At 4:50, the shot moves along the wire of the phone, where your voice is directed to any one of millions of telephone lines.  It may travel by cable, or even by microwave radio for long distances.  The electricity carries your voice, almost instantaneously, to the receiver on the other end of the line.  Inside the receiver is another diaphragm which is moved back and forth by the action of two magnets, which creates sound waves in the air—new sound waves, which have the same pattern as the ones said into your telephone.  Your voice has been changed from sound to electricity, and back to sound again in the blink of an eye.  
At 6:17, a deconstructed phone is shown...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9f4b9ef8-dd5e-424c-a6cd-a868bb1ebee9/71ab5039-46d8-461f-a219-f32358b3e69a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kETtB7KbVfM2ZzF88qLue8</video:player_loc><video:duration>455</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T16:42:25.793Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vSGqD3zaDDCckmwg2bXbBL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a85fd4a8-50f5-4a32-b756-7820b235f8e4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY 1930s  TRIP TO HAWAII &amp; SAMOA "CROSSING THE LINE" 44014b</video:title><video:description>Made in the 1930s by the U.S. Navy, "Crossing the Line" shows the life of sailors in the era between the wars. The film starts with images of the fleet on its way across the Pacific as part of a large scale exercise. At 1:08 the decks are scrubbed and at 1:40 a baseball game is played on the deck of a battleship. At 1:56 boxing and other exercises are shown on deck. At 2:00 a rugby game is shown. At 2:17 some dancing and playing of music is shown, again aboard a battleship. At 2:39, the engine room crew is shown, and at 3:13 the captain on the bridge, as the fleet heads to the Hawaiian Islands. 

At 3:30 the fleet arrives in Honolulu. This is probably from the "Fleet Problem" -- an annual large-scale naval exercise conducted between 1923 and 1940. The fleet problems were usually once a year exercises in which U.S. naval forces would engage in mock battles. One or more of the forces would play the part of a European or Asian navy. They were the culmination of the Navy's annual training maneuvers.

At 3:40 Hawaii is seen and at 4:25 the beach at Waikiki with its canoes and at 4:50 the hula girls.  At 5:25 the fleet pounds on to Samoa and at 5:40 the tradition known as "crossing the line" -- with King Neptune greeting sailors and welcoming them to his realm -- is shown. At 6:40 the fleet arrives in Samoa and the sailors are greeted with traditional dances.

At 2:43, broadcasts are made in the field using loudspeakers to North Korean soldiers, attempting to get them to surrender. At 3:10, a reel to reel tape recorder is used as part of this effort. At 3:17, brochures are seen printed by the hundreds. General Robert McClure is seen describing the "struggle for men's minds" at 3:40. At 7:05, a C-47 is loaded with surrender leaflets for release over enemy territory. At 8:18, the aircraft flies low while loudspeakers blare propaganda. At 9:45, some of the training programs behind these efforts are seen including laboratory testing at Ft. Riley, Kansas where a Psychological Warfare School was established (a la the Manchurian Candidate ). 

At 10:30, General HQ at Tokyo is shown with the Psychological Warfare headquarters activities are described. Psywar broadcasts are seen at 12:20, with broadcasts of news and information via radio. At 12:35, records are recorded on discs, and recordings are made to reel-to-reel tape for use by mobile transmitters. At 15:00, strategic printing of leaflets is shown at the Tokyo facility. At 16:50, propaganda leaflets are designed including text and image, and translated from English into Korean and Chinese. These leaflets are seen distributed by the tens of thousands by B-29 at 20:14. Artillery bursts of literature are also shown at 22:19. 

Loudspeakers are seen in use with a front-line unit at 22:30 and at 24:00. An airborne loudspeaker is seen on board an A-26 being used with a Korean woman narrating, for effectiveness against the Chinese and Korean soldiers.

The film has a cold open, with a narrator detailing conditions suffered by both Allied and Axis forces, but soon delves into the role of air power during the war and how it supports ground troops. Between World War I and World War II, we are told, the relationship between air power and land power was unclear. By the 1940s, Allied forced realized air power can weaken any positions and his ability to fight, as we see an aerial view of bombing raids. Fighters are also useful tools, an at mark 04:00 we see squadrons in flight. “Fighters can make it possible for you to enter the enemy’s air, and make it prohibitively costly for him to enter your air,” explains the narrator.

Made in an era before air conditioning when fans were extremely important, the movie is hosted by a group of "hot" swimsuit wearing models. The film begins with a brief history of the company and George Westinghouse's invention of the electric fan in 1890 (he received a patent in 1892 -- the same year that Nikola Tesla did). The fan was one of the earliest electric appliances ever created and took many forms. Electric fans were soon followed by electric toasters and coffee makers. Desktop fans were soon followed by ceiling fans (4:05), fans with guarded blades, whole room fans such as the Mobilaire (10:38) and improved fan motors that did not require the presence of an oil cup for lubrication. 

At 11:32, the new "air jet vanes" fan is shown, the Whirlaire, which comes in counter and pedestal models. The Whirlair has "air jets" that drives an air stream forward like a Fresnel searchlight lens directs light forward. At 12:49 the oscillating, low cost Lively Aire is shown.  At 13:20, the Debonaire hassock model is shown. A table model is shown at 14:00 with matching serving tray. At 14:18 the 1952 Window Fan is shown which can be removed from the window to become a floor circulator. At 15:00 the Riviera fan is seen which is "four fans in one" --  a room circulator, an exhaust fan, and hassock fan all in one. At 16:50, a new kind of window fan is shown -- the "Big Twin" window fan, which features overlapping blades. The Riviera 15 is shown at 18:50, an improved Riviera "air jet" fan that is called "revolutionary". 

At 20:04, a 16mm film projector is seen with a variety of sales films promoted including "Taking the Hot Air Out of Fan Selling", etc.

The film ends with a parade of beautiful women promoting Westinghouse fans over the years. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b3b86900-f3f8-4d25-88f7-ea8e389096b6/9b7246fc-b738-44c6-bc98-d856a0e26e4e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ocb2spihbXt5NvLRMGXT5J</video:player_loc><video:duration>1549</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T16:47:55.233Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gE367eupPRZZ7eFCUZddrU</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b54b2390-f5d0-4a15-9b25-88c0d4bbd88d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1957 CHEVROLET TASK FORCE TRUCKS   ALCAN HIGHWAY TESTING ROAD TRIP 87394</video:title><video:description>Chevrolet’s 1956 short film, “On Top of the World,” produced by Jam Handy, follows six 1957 pre-production Chevrolet Task-Force models as they make the grueling trip from GM’s Proving Ground in Milford, Michigan to Fairbanks, Alaska, and back. The six Chevrolet trucks demonstrate their durability and performance as they tackle the formidable ALCAN highway. The six Task-Force trucks—a 1957 Chevrolet ½-ton Cameo Carrier Pickup, a 1957 Chevrolet 1-ton Panel, a 1957 Chevrolet Dump Truck, a 1957 Chevrolet Van Panel LCF (low cab forward), a 1957 Chevrolet 5-speed transmission Tractor Trailer, and a 1957 Chevrolet Tractor Trailer Powermatic—depart Milford for the AAA-supervised test (01:05). They reach Dawson Creek where the trucks are weighed and certified by AAA (01:38). The trucks travel hundreds and hundreds of miles, over rivers, up mountain sides, and along challenging dirt roads, only stopping for refueling under AAA supervision (05:02). As they drive along the ALCAN highway, they pass into the Yukon and the town of White Horse (05:24) before finally reaching Fairbanks, Alaska (06:11). The Task-Force trucks then start their journey home. The Dump Truck (07:25) and the ½-ton Cameo Carrier (08:46) are highlighted on the trip back to GM’s Proving Ground.

The Chevrolet Task Force was Chevrolet's successor to the Advance Design trucks. The Task Force Series ran from late 1955 (second series) through 1959. At GMC locations, it was called the Blue Chip Series.

The 1955 second series offered standard options and add-ons such as 12-volt electrical systems, the first V8 (the 265 cubic inch), and fleet-side six-, seven-, and eight-foot length beds.

Today the mine is closed, although the open pit remains today near the town of Thetford Mines. Sad to say, most if not all of the men shown in this film working with asbestos likely died of Metothelioma as a result of their exposure.

In 1876 large deposits of asbestos were discovered in Quebec. It quickly became one of the largest asbestos producing regions in the world as Canada began to supply more asbestos than any other country in the world. The fiber was valued for its unique fire, rust, and rot resistance, as well as its tensile strength and sound absorption. It was even referred to as the miracle fiber for these rare, valuable properties. Before the true nature of the health hazards that asbestos presented were discovered it was used extensively in the construction of buildings and Navy vessels. Many buildings built around the 1960s during the heyday of asbestos were constructed with many products that contain asbestos fibers. The governments of most developed countries have place restrictions on the use of asbestos. In many cases the use of asbestos is no longer permitted and strict regulations have been placed on the silky white fiber. It is now clear that extensive exposure to asbestos can greatly increase the risk of lung cancer and other health problems related to the respiratory system.  

The most common mineral type of asbestos is chrysotile and this is the type present at the location of Thetford Mines. This particular type is white in color and shares the same characteristics of the other variations of asbestos. It occurs naturally as long, thin fibers that are similar to fiberglass. Although the different types of asbestos largely share the same characteristics they do vary in color ranging from white (chrystotile), gray (anthophyllite), brown (amosite), and blue (crocidolite). Chrysotile is part of a group of...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/71eafd4f-d5a3-4462-8fc6-0b110ddebb3f/aa8f7b77-ec90-439a-a7c8-db79c6863e63-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/f4TCqWCCApmNe4LpN6GRb8</video:player_loc><video:duration>1169</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T16:51:51.386Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aWABKT3fnXj3PBjk2QSt8v</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dfd0f67a-0de8-4d5f-abf2-d0ac105087ac.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PENETRATION AND LOW APPROACH PROCEDURES FOR T-33 JET AIRCRAFT 81664</video:title><video:description>Made by the U.S. Air Force during the Cold War, PENETRATION AND LOW APPROACH PROCEDURES FOR JET AIRCRAFT was shown to pilots to explain the techniques used to make instrument approaches to runways in situations where there is low visibility. The start of the film shows a Lockheed T-33 jet performing a training mission.  At 1:32, the mission encounters overcast and zero visibility weather during landing. The film then explains how all runways have standard, automatic radar and other features that can help make a safe landing in these conditions possible. At 3:20 an air crew studies Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) handbooks and boards their T-33. Through animation and narration, the film explains the various standardized procedures used for IFR landing. At 13:24 the instrument panel is shown, with the narrator discussing how the pilot must be making sound judgements about the plane's altitude, position, and attitude during IFR landings. At 13:40 an F-89 Scorpion is shown on approach, to compare to the T-33. 

At 14:10 the narrator discusses "low speed penetration" and "high speed penetration" and compares the two. High speed penetration is used primarily for turbulent conditions.

This mission was carried out by the US Marines in 1965 and 1966. The intention of the operation was to protect the rice harvest in the Mo Duc District from Vietcong forces. During this time period, the Viet Cong entered villages at night and taxed the villagers in rice in order to fortify the Northern Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong themselves. Marine operations were designed to protect the villager’s rice harvests while simultaneously denying food to the enemy forces. It was considered to be a civic action mission designed to win “hearts and minds” of the Vietnamese people. This operation was considered to be less than successful however as they weren’t fully able to protect the villagers. A Vietnamese official was tortured to death for aiding the Marines. The operation was carried out by the first battalion, 9th regiment of the United States Marine Corps in the Song Con Bien Valley. This film was presented by the Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps (:10). The US Marine seal appears in the top left corner. The film opens with gunfire popping as a Vietnamese woman carries a small child across a dirt field (:21). Marines guide civilians to safety (:34). The narrator mentions the Vietnamese civilians were looking to the Marines for safety. Flare smokes rolls over the ground (:42). Wounded are airlifted (:50). Crates of food are unloaded (1:06). The narrator mentions the villagers were concerned about an upcoming raid by the Viet Cong for their rice harvest (1:20). A tank of the 1st Battalion of the 9th Marines rolls over dirt heading inland (1:26). Marines sit atop the LVTP-5 Amtrak (1:38).  Fertile lands of Song Con Bien (2:00) appear.

This type of engine (02:12) is only found in Chevrolets when it comes to sedans, such as the 1949 or 1950 Chevrolet Styleline (00:51). The film begins with an animation to briefly explain the general idea of efficiency. Continuing with animation, the film looks at a simplified model of the valve-in-head engine and how it maximizes power and fuel economy, piston strokes, and heat loss. It compares the efficiency of the valve-in-head model to the L-head type. Part of the success of Chevrolet’s engine is making the pistons and cylinder block from the same cast alloy (06:18). The film shows how Chevrolet’s valve-in-head engine has perfected engine lubrication (06:58) by lubricating cylinder walls and bearings. Chevrolet isn’t the only company to utilize the valve-in-head type: some of the fastest race cars (08:02) in the world use it, as well as airliners, like Eastern Air Lines and what appears to be its Douglas DC-4 jet (08:09). The film concludes by showing several Chevrolet models with the valve-in-head engines, including what appears to be a 1949 Chevrolet Fleetline Deluxe (08:34) and a 1950 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible (08:40).

Summary Court-Martial. The film shows the operation of military courts and the Judge Advocate General (JAG). Special Courts Martial and General Court Martial are also briefly discussed at the 2:45 mark. The sailor accused in this film is charged with being drunk on duty, as reported by the petty officer on duty.

A summary court-martial provides a simplified procedure for the resolution of charges involving minor incidents of misconduct. The summary court-martial consists of one officer who, depending upon Service policies and practice, is a judge advocate (a military attorney). The maximum punishment a summary court-martial may impose is considerably less than a special or general court-martial. The accused must consent to be tried by a summary court-martial.

There is extensive coverage of the company's Wichita and Tucson factories. Focus is given to the company's cutting edge assembly systems, including computer aided drafting and controlled machine tools. At the end the film shows some of the many roles taken on by the Learjet in the 80s, including use for target towing systems, surveillance and photography, and high performance military applications including internal radar, infrared detection, and much more, 

Learjet was one of the first companies to manufacture a private, luxury aircraft. The final Learjet design was instead adapted from an abortive 1950s Swiss ground-attack fighter aircraft, the FFA P-16. The basic structure of the aircraft was seen by Bill Lear and his team as a good starting point. Lear formed the Swiss American Aircraft Corporation, located in Altenrhein, Switzerland and staffed with design engineers from Switzerland, Germany and Britain. The wing with its distinctive tip fuel tanks and landing gear of the first Learjets were little changed from those used by the fighter prototypes. Although building the first jet started in Switzerland, the tooling for building the aircraft was moved to Wichita, Kansas, in 1962. Bill Jr stated that it took too long to get anything done in Switzerland despite the cheaper labor costs. LearJet was in a temporary office which opened in September 1962 while the plant at Wichita's airport was under construction. On February 7, 1963 assembly of the first Learjet began. The next year, the company was renamed the Lear Jet Corporation.

The original Learjet 23 was a six- to eight-seater and first flew on October 7, 1963, with the first production model being delivered in October 1964. Just over a month later, Lear Jet became a publicly owned corporation. Several derived models followed, with the Model 24 first fl...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1c838e4f-2388-4aed-a9a9-401f0558c8ac/8544e9af-cea3-4a68-817d-fc956c4ef2df-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4wdGBFGeDSNJvaXbNdipRN</video:player_loc><video:duration>614</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:03:40.297Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7QJ5RVSmS7ZjiYYfVsfCeq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/969f949f-caa7-492a-bc7f-043f96501c73.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CHEVROLET TURBOGLIDE PROMOTIONAL FILM BY JAM HANDY  87404</video:title><video:description>Chevrolet’s short film, “Turboglide,” produced by Jam Handy in 1957 or 1958, explains how Chevrolet’s new and innovative Turboglide transmission works. Using animation and featuring the character “Mr. T” (Mr. Transmission), the film shows how the Turboglide eliminates gear shifting altogether and uses three turbines to transfer power to the rear wheels as well as boost acceleration. 

The Turboglide is a Chevrolet constant torque 3-speed automatic transmission that made its debut as an optional transmission on Chevrolet V8 passenger cars for 1957. It consisted of a concurrently geared (as opposed to sequentially geared) planetary gearbox with a 'switch pitch' dual-pitch torque converter stator. Turboglide utilized a die-cast aluminum transmission case, following Packard's Ultramatic of 1956. It was designed to help showcase the engineering features of the '57 Chevy, and was often ordered with the Rochester Ramjet Fuel Injection system on the 283 V8. Turboglide cost about $50 more than Powerglide, and was available in all 1957-1961 V8 engine models except the Corvette.

Turboglide was designed under the supervision of Frank Winchell, Ed Cole and Robert P Benzinger at Chevrolet engineering. Although Turboglide offered remarkable performance and smoothness, the execution of the first 1957 units led to substantial customer complaints and the unit was continuously upgraded to improve its durability until it was discontinued in 1961. The 1959 Turboglide incorporated very significant changes intended to improve its durability, some of which were possible to retrofit to earlier versions. Some enthusiasts reported that Turboglide had better reliability when coupled with the smaller 283 cubic-inch Turbo-Fire V8, than with the big-block 348 Turbo-Thrust engine.

The film tells the story of a young boy who is learning ancient ways in a modern world. His family includes Tony White, who performs a hoop dance in the film at 3:44. This film was part of a series of films produced by Ford entitled "Americans at Home". 

The film is notable for including imagery from the annual Indian pow-wow in Gallup, New Mexico.

Pueblo Indians are American Indians who live in pueblos and have a long tradition of farming. Pueblo Indians who lived long ago are sometimes called the "ancestral Pueblo" because they are the ancestors of today's Pueblo people. Another name for the ancestral Pueblo people is Anasazi. The Puebloans or Pueblo peoples are Native Americans in the Southwestern United States, lived in the time period of 100 - 1600 AD. Made their style of living in towns constructed of adobe, stone and other local materials. Their buildings are constructed as complex apartments with numerous rooms, often built in strategic defensive positions. The Pueblo peoples speak languages from several different groups and are also divided culturally by their kinship systems and agricultural practices, although all cultivate varieties of maize.

0:11-0:21: The film sets the context, describing the conflict as "aggressive subversion of a country by its neighbor" (North Vietnam attacking South Vietnam).
0:22-0:56: The scene shifts to a celebration in Tom Ky, Vietnam, marking the success of the   Chieu Hoi ("Open Arms") Program   after a North Vietnamese Army Captain defects, bringing weapons and hope. The program's goal is to win back people exploited by hostile voices from the North and help build a new nation.
1:24-1:47: The program offers a road to freedom through surrender, turning insurgents into loyal citizens. The film states that 50,000 insurgents have returned and been rehabilitated   through Chieu Hoi, claiming that removing this threat under combat would have cost over 9,000 American lives.
1:48-2:10: Ralliers are taken to an interrogation center where they are   voluntarily asked to furnish immediate tactical information   on the enemy, which has proven "extremely helpful."   Saigon guarantees safety and good treatment   regardless of cooperation.
2:20-3:08: Further information on background, skills, and reasons for rallying is obtained. The rallier's new identification papers   do not reflect their former status as an insurgent  . They are educated on the legal government's goals: freedom, self-determination, peace, harmony, and uniting the people to protect their spiritual heritage.
3:41-5:39: Nation-building starts at the grassroots level. Former insurgents ( Hoi Chanh ) can work at ancient crafts in their hamlets or choose to live in more populous villages. An opportunity to learn a new trade is a "prime incentive," turning them back into useful, contributi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/309d9132-8da7-4b1f-8373-7f8205dae009/3e46c875-1fcd-4afa-915a-9439ad35cb2f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/71bVT4oPLguCdYaAuEurMk</video:player_loc><video:duration>847</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:10:04.311Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/snGac9isveV6RmucxjVjEL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7b051771-cd97-4a54-b575-c868b70a5d3d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>RADIATION THE INVISIBLE ENEMY  1957 CIVIL DEFENSE  ATOMIC BOMB &amp; FALLOUT FILM  44254</video:title><video:description>Made in 1957-58 by the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization and the University of Michigan, "The Invisible Enemy" attempts to discuss the dangers of radioactive fallout and the need for fallout shelters. The film features a professor making a scientific lecture about radiation, its unseen powers, and lethal effects.

The film features images of geiger counters, atomic bomb blasts (3:56), research nuclear reactors (6:35), medical use of nuclear radiation (8:15) and more. 

At 10:00, a simulated nuclear attack on Chicago is shown, and a radioactive cloud of fallout moves over the countryside. "This radioactive cloud begins to be carried by winds for hundreds of miles, it is literally a cloud bearing possible death for hundreds of thousands of people living below it!" Within three hours, residents of Battle Creek, Michigan will take sick with radiation poisoning without proper shelter.  (Incidentally, the National Civil Defense Headquarters was located in Battle Creek and major population centers like Detroit were vital to American industry. )

At 15:00, the film begins discussing the use of personal fallout shelters for survival. The film suggests that the cost is estimated at $2500, and a series of civil defense brochures are available to assist the public in installing one. Techniques of building a shelter are seen with a happy father installing a shelter at the 18:40 mark in his home's basement. 

The scientist concludes on this note: "For on your willingness and ability to protect yourself and the lives of those who depend on you, depends in turn, the future of the free world.  This, ladies and gentlemen, is why we in the United States must from here on learn how to protect ourselves from fallout, the invisible enemy!"

The film touches on the safety issues affiliated with the fuel and potential ill effects from exposure to the product. It features extensive footage inside the Naval Propellants Plant of the Bureau of Naval Weapons, located at Indian Head, Maryland. 

Otto fuel II, or just 'Otto fuel,' was a mixture of propylene glycol dinitrate (the explosive fuel), dibutyl sebacate (a desensitizing additive) and 2-nitrodiphenylamine (a stabilizer). Mixed together, they form a relatively stable (if toxic) oily substance. It does not throw off fumes, being oily (sebacate) and in liquid form is resistant to fire. However, if the fuel is vaporized, the stabilizer and desensitizer will separate from the propellant, which is then unstable enough to decompose violently, releasing energy. One of its reaction products is hydrogen cyanide, which is horribly toxic; as a result, torpedos which accidentally 'run hot' inside submarines will release highly toxic fumes into the boat which must be contained and vented.

At 2:43, various weapons that use the Otto Fuel II are shown including submarine dropped torpedoes at 3:00. 

At 3:10 a rocket motor is tested at the Naval Propellant Lab. At 4:30, torpedo fuel tanks are shock tested to show the stability of Otto Fuel, and at 4:51 it proves difficult to ignite when contacted with open flames. At 8:00, Otto Fuel is loaded into a steel pipe and subjected to heat, effectively making a bomb. To make sure that this does not occur in proper working conditions all containers must have safety release valves.At 9:00 workers are shown being careless -- and smoking around the fuel.

At 9:14 the Naval Hospital at Bethesda, Maryland is shown, where Otto Fuel is tested for human health effects. The Naval Medical Research Institute is shown where rabbits are tested for exposure to toxic levels of fuel. At 9:47, per...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7c9235bc-61dd-4bbc-a2bf-7eb949fd3560/7893d30b-f682-4e23-9af4-00d9168badad-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gobYSUxYAq6URgAm6m5Eod</video:player_loc><video:duration>1004</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:16:06.693Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mak6oUKHrPdRf7QTokCRsy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bb1d7d99-0963-4973-858d-d5aae26b3a11.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SAFETY THROUGH SEAT BELTS   EARLY 1950s SEATBELT ADVOCACY MOVIE 58824</video:title><video:description>This early 1950s film from the U.S. Department of Health, SAFETY THROUGH SEAT BELTS promotes the use of safety belts, and starts with footage of a U.S. Air Force pilot Lt. White wearing a safety harness in his airplane and then a seatbelt in his car. In this era the seat belt was a novelty, and the connection of auto seat belts to those used in airplanes was one often made because the U.S.A.F. was among the first organizations to mandate their use. (This was due in part to the research of Dr. John Paul Stapp, an Air Force Colonel who showed that many more pilots were dying in car crashes than in airplane accidents.) 

At 1:50 the film shows the grim statistic that 1.5 million Americans are hurt in accidents with cars every year — and shows grim photographs of injuries and dead bodies at accident scenes. At 2:48, the campus of UCLA is shown where safety belt testing is being conducted by researchers.  At 2:55, a series of experimental collisions are conducted including side-impact accidents. At 3:25, early crash test dummies are shown. Electronic recording apparatus and test equipment including Fastax high speed cameras are shown. A crash is seen at 5:48 with the driver ejected from one of the autos in slow-motion (the actual intersection incident took only 4 seconds). At 8:40 the crash test dummy is examined with its multiple injuries from the incident, from hitting the car frame and steering wheel. 

At 9:57 the California Highway Patrol is seen, which adopted safety belts as standard in all of its cars with a significant reduction in injuries. And at 10:00, Dr. John Paul Stapp is seen on a rocket sled at Holloman Air Force Base, enduring a high speed deceleration. (For more on Stapp see the book "A History of Murphy's Law" on Amazon.com)

A seat belt (also known as a seatbelt or safety belt) is a vehicle safety device designed to secure the occupant of a vehicle against harmful movement that may result during a collision or a sudden stop.

At the General Motors Proving Ground in Milford, Michigan (00:53), Chevrolets are tested for torque. What appears to be a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air is tested by pulling 16 different makes on the market, showing off the Chevrolet’s torque or “road power.” Torque is measured with a torque meter (03:06), but it is also measured by testing the 1955 Chevrolet against a 1955 Ford and 1955 Plymouth. The three cars are driven by NASCAR professionals, and are tested for acceleration (03:49) and hill climbing (06:26), with the Chevrolet outperforming both the Ford and Plymouth. The film concludes by stressing the impressive torque of Chevrolets, and features what appears to be a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air (09:15).

The Chevrolet Bel Air was a full-size car produced by Chevrolet for the 1950–1981 model years. Initially only the two door hardtops in the Chevrolet model range were designated with the Bel Air name from 1950 to 1952, as distinct from the Styleline and Fleetline models for the remainder of the range. With the 1953 model year the Bel Air name was changed from a designation for a unique body shape to a premium level of trim applied across a number of body styles. The Bel Air continued with various other trim level designations until US production ceased in 1975. Production continued in Canada, for its home market only, through the 1981 model year.

For 1955, Chevrolet's full-size model received all new styling and power. The 1955 Bel Air was 3,456 lb (1,568 kg) and 15 ft (4.6 m) long. It was called the "Hot One" in GM's advertising campaign. Chevrolet's styling was crisp, clean and incorporated a Ferrari-inspired grille. Bel Airs came with features found on c...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/90aad6c2-7511-4abe-b31b-dfea4d57cd51/e118f588-75a8-4bc4-b3e6-a95794e0f951-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iS7Y3UxxdYCD3rWabp8VEZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>598</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:18:27.540Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Chevy Bel Air</video:tag><video:tag>1955 Chevy</video:tag><video:tag>1955 Bel Air</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ns697LLGPrrX6kqu81hx3t</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/eeefacd2-7b2d-4e85-b08f-3835c77263e6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CHINA LAKE AIR SHOW  1950s HOME MOVIE w/ VOUGHT F7U CUTLASS  57634</video:title><video:description>This silent 16mm home movie shows an air show at the U.S. Navy's China Lake airport sometime in the 1950s. It must date to between 1951 and 1959, as a Vought F7U Cutlass appears in the film at 1:15 and this jet was in the Navy only for that brief span of years.  The plane shown has orange or red markings, indicating it was likely being used for tests at China Lake. At 2:30 a bare metal Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, first flown by the Navy in 1954, is shown. A Lockheed P2V-5 Neptune is seen on the ramp at 2:43. A Douglas F4d Skyray is seen at 4:00.

Made as part of the WWII war effort by Chrysler, THE BOFORS GUN TEAM shows the manufacture of the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun then in use by the Navy and Army. This was one of the most stunning manufacturing feats of the war, since the Bofors was an extremely intimidating weapon to mass produce and many believed it could not be produced in quantity, in time to make a difference in the war. Within 3 years however Chrysler had shipped over 40,000 complete mechanisms and 75,000 barrels. 

At 1:55, the Swedish-designed gun is seen in its "Americanized" configuration -- made for mass production in a Chrysler factory. At 2:30, new blueprints are made from Swedish originals which were in metric measure. At 2:45, a diagram shows how the manufacture of the gun was split between Dodge, DeSoto, Plymouth and other Chrysler plants. Production lines are seen for breech casings and other parts in the gigantic plants, which were formerly used for automobile manufacture. At 8:55, blocks are shown being made through mass production techniques. At 9:11, quality inspection is made of the blocks. At 13:30, the manufacture of the gun barrel is seen. At 16:20, breech blocks are assembled and tested. 

The Bofors 40 mm gun, often referred to simply as the Bofors gun,is an anti-aircraft/multi-purpose autocannon designed in the 1930s by the Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors. It was one of the most popular medium-weight anti-aircraft systems during World War II, used by most of the western Allies as well as by the Axis powers. A small number of these weapons remain in service to this day, and saw action as late as the Gulf War.

In the post-war era the original design was not suitable for action against jet powered aircraft, so Bofors introduced a new model of significantly more power, the 40 mm L/70. In spite of sharing almost nothing with the original design other than the calibre and the distinctive conical flash hider, th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e4f4afc8-396c-4376-a4ad-d8f2ab3bdc3d/1b94fc0f-6f43-4b4a-a588-81c405230321-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ugNu9K1Eq4XmHdPHDECTjv</video:player_loc><video:duration>1175</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:20:40.691Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4X9ECeZFsRKkGebq4XSn78</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f006ef0a-9d4e-4ca2-a9ec-4a0287c6e3b9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE STORY OF CENTURY CITY  1970s  LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA  PROMOTIONAL FILM 53524</video:title><video:description>This promotional film for Century City dates to the early 1970s, when Los Angeles' "city within a city" came into its own. It features a futuristic score by Mort Garson and was produced by John McComb and written, photographed and edited by Lee Chaney and Filmagic. Century City is actually a 176-acre (71.2 ha) neighborhood and business district in Los Angeles County's Westside. Outside of Downtown Los Angeles, Century City is one of the metropolitan area's most prominent employment centers, and its skyscrapers form a distinctive skyline on the Westside. As the film shows, the district was developed on the former backlot of film studio 20th Century Fox. The demolition of the lot is seen in the film's opening, with movie set after movie set being bulldozed, and "celluloid dreams crumbled". At 1:37, some of the world's foremost architects arrive to plan the development, dominated by the Century Plaza and the Avenue of the Stars.  

The land of Century City originally belonged to cowboy actor Tom Mix, who used it as a ranch. It became a backlot of 20th Century Fox, which still has its headquarters just to the southwest. The area is named for the 20th Century Fox's Century Property.

In 1956, Spyros Skouras (1893-1971), who served as the President of 20th Century Fox from 1942–62, and his nephew-in-law Edmond Herrscher (died 1983), an attorney sometimes known as "the father of Century City," decided to repurpose the land for real estate development. The following year, in 1957, they commissioned a master-plan development from Welton Becket Associates, which was unveiled at a major press event on the "western" backlot later that year.

In 1961, after Fox suffered a string of expensive flops, culminating with the financial strain put on the studio by the very expensive production of Cleopatra, the film studio sold about 180 acres  to developer William Zeckendorf and Aluminum Co. of America, also known as Alcoa, for US$300 million (US$2.4 billion in 2014's money).

The film was likely made as a result of a series of serious accidents involving nukes in the 1950s including the Mars Bluff B-47 incident, the B-36 crash in British Columbia in 1950, and the Tybee Island mid-air accident in 1958.

As the film states, nuclear weapons in this era were moved by rail, truck, aircraft and by other means, and "accidents happen." At 2:44, workers are seen working with radioactive materials in a nuclear laboratory. At 3:06 the mushroom cloud of an atomic bomb is shown. At 3:28, the narrator notes that the accidental detonation of an atomic bomb is "so remote" as to be "considered negligible". At 3:44, a conventional detonation is shown, which would result in scattering of atomic components. What to do in this eventuality?

At 4:00, rescue squad is shown putting out an aircraft on fire following an accident. At 4:20 the principles of nuclear reaction are described. At 8:11, a dramatic atomic explosion is shown. At 9:10, a B-47 Stratojet aircraft is shown on atomic alert. At 9:33, a test is conducted dropping an atomic bomb at a test range. At 9:45, bombs are subject to fire. At 10:20, explosions are seen spreading high explosives in many directions. Another series of explosions are seen, including high temperature fires, including a one-point detonation of Heavy Explosives at 12:10. 

At 13:30, burning high explosive is seen dripping and flowing. At 13:47, a dry extinguisher is used with little effect. Carbon dioxide extinguishers also don't work, but water can be used on HE with some effect, as can foam. 

Melted, broken explosives and scattered nuclear components are discussed next and is seen at 17:17. The narrator cautions about leaving any nuclear weapon found "alone" and says that the uninitiated should withdraw "1...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/61d079e2-d6ba-422f-89b4-880dcccf0f8a/f838ddc4-e92c-4fc9-bc33-d0f392c78a52-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/d5ybXtF7YFe2jsCjBopebs</video:player_loc><video:duration>1762</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:26:12.691Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9ZZgcRqRptFJCSdNacaffB</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fbf0118f-8caf-4ca8-ab65-b1b1e937fd5b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1920s ARIZONA TO MEXICO TRIP -- HOME MOVIE  MAKING TEQUILA  58104</video:title><video:description>This 1920s or 30s vintage silent home movie titled "The Quest for the Boojum Tree", shows a botany expedition to Mexico mounted by prominent residents of Tucson, Arizona. It includes a segment about the making of tequila.

The names of the persons in the expedition (according to the title cards) were Kreider, Shreve, Sykes, Gilbert, Graham, Hobbs and "Joe", Uhlela, and "the Photographer." "Shreve" is most likely Forrest Shreve, a botanist and desert plant ecologist who served on the staff of the Desert Botanical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution in Tucson. Unfortunately we don't know much more about who shot this film or who is in it. The film was de-accessioned by the University of Arizona in the early 2000s from their film collection.

The film provides a fascinating look at people and places in territorial Arizona starting with Sasabe at 1:28 and the town of Altar, Sonora at 1:44 and Pitiquito at 2:16. At 2:40 a barrel cactus is opened to obtain moisture -- but the plant is mostly enjoyed by a steer. At 3:15 "starving cattle" are seen on a Sonora ranch apparently owned by Senor Borrego. At 4:03, Pozo Verrugo is shown, possibly the name of a ranch but it's not clear. 

At 4:30 the process to make tequila is shown, with water taken from a deep well using a horse. At 5:25 the still is shown. At 6:16, a Saguaro is shown. At 6:30, Libertad on the Gulf of California is shown and Gilbert goes fishing while others swim in the 100-degree heat.  

At 7:25 problems are encountered with one of the automobiles on the trip, stuck in the sand and given pushes by the group on the primitive dirt road. At 8:00 a title card announces "fresh water" as the group digs on a beach. At 8:40, the "botanists" are seen returning to the group with samples from the field. At 9:00 fruit is harvested from a cactus. At 9:53 ocean samples including sea stars are packed up. At 10:00 Datura flower is shown, at 10:17 the outskirts of Pitiquito are visited again. At 11:00, a group fo Mexican ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/48e1cb10-766e-4fd3-be5a-49940d80a07f/2fd8c545-f65e-4b92-b4b0-86d2f55418fd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9ZZgcRqRptFJCSdNacaffB</video:player_loc><video:duration>858</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:28:13.155Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cffpF97cTaEyWNLJFsrosD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c74baac9-234e-43e9-9b3f-62c3a765ab7c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1949 CHEVROLET PROMOTIONAL FILM "THE LAST WORD"  88694</video:title><video:description>This 1949 short Chevrolet film, “The Last Word,” produced by Jam Handy, promotes Chevrolet cars by boasting of the research, ingenuity, and engineering that goes into every Chevrolet. The film uses a couple driving several different Chevrolets over a period of several decades, and each time the latest car is the “last word,” or the best car Chevrolet could possibly make. The couple starts out driving a 1913 Chevrolet (00:22), then a 1925 Chevrolet (01:48), then a convertible model from the 1940s (02:50). The couple arrives at the General Motors Research Building (03:31) where they learn about the research, design, and engineering that goes into making every Chevrolet. The research lab (04:07) reveals how General Motors is constantly building more performance, comfort, safety, durability, and economy into each new model. The film then cuts to an aerial shot of GM’s Proving Ground in Milford, Michigan (05:50), where the parts and cars are tested on the over 1,000-acre facility. What appears to be a 1949 Chevrolet Styleline (06:16) races along the miles of road to test everything from engine durability to gasoline consumption. Testing even continues once Chevrolets are put into service, as Chevrolet technicians will perform follow-up inspections, as is the case with Star Transit Company’s fleet of trucks (07:49). From work in research laboratories (09:08) to design, from engineering to testing, Chevrolet puts thousands of hours and miles into creating the newest Chevrolet.

The film was shot somewhere in Michigan, likely just outside Detroit. It opens with an aerial view of a town, then cuts to a scene of children playing on a street (00:33). A family eats a meal together (01:54), the little boy enjoying a glass of milk that is brought to him by Jersey Creamery Company’s milkman (02:35; 08:10). The narrator discusses the chain of relationships that brings the milk to the little boy, as the milkman relies on the farmer, who relies on the mechanic to service his equipment. There are more shots of streets and buildings, including the North Chevrolet dealership (03:52) with several cars parked out front, including what appears to be a 1950 Styleline Deluxe Station Wagon. The film continues to demonstrate the interconnectedness of American communities, this time using a sick child as the focal point (04:03). The parents rely on the doctor, and the doctor relies on the pharmacist and pharmacy (04:37). The film shows further relationships, from grocery stores to the harvesting of wheat (05:11), which provide food for the pharmacist. The next shot is of a street lined with cars and businesses, such as Mars Furniture and Queen Jewelers (05:19). The film then returns to the North Chevrolet dealership, where a salesperson shows a couple a 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan (05:37). The narrator explains how Chevrolet is there to help connect all the moving pieces of the community by selling new and used cars (07:00), as well as servicing cars at the mechanic shop (07:30) and by providing proper parts and diagnostics (08:37). The film concludes with footage of Chevrolet vehicles, including McPhails Laundry’s 1948 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery (09:08), as the narrator repeats how Chevrolet helps the American community work together.

Featuring GMC "new look" buses, the film shows the operation of a diesel bus from the depot to a route on Lincoln Blvd. up to Montana Avenue. The film looks at the activities of various passengers, all the while showcasing the operation of the bus. Some of the topics explained include the use of transfers, tokens and fare boxes, the operation of the bus' signaling system and buzzer, the operation of the rear door, and more. The friendly operator, who carries a pocket watch to keep on schedule, knows the names of many of the passengers on his bus. At 6:23, the System Development Organization is seen while at 6:30 what appears to be 3rd Street (now known as the Promenade) is seen. At 8:00, the planning and management dept. of the Big Blue Bus is shown. At 8:27, bus driver training is seen. At 9:20 the Big Blue Bus garage is seen.

The GM New Look bus, also commonly known by the nickname "Fishbowl" (for its six-piece rounded windshield), is a transit bus introduced in 1959 by Truck and Coach Division of General Motors and produced until 1986.More than 44,000 New Look buses were built. Its high production figures and long service career made it an iconic North American transit bus. The design is listed as U.S. Patent D182,998 by Roland E. Gegoux and William P. Strong.

In 1928, the City of Santa Monica launched its first route. Choosing a blue livery, it was called Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines. It kept its base fare at 10 cents for a long time. The impetus for the creation was a fare increase on the Pacific Electric interurban trains between Santa Monica and Los Angeles. The Santa Monica bus connected with the Los Angeles Railway streetcars at Pico and Rimpau Boulevards in the Mid-City section of Los Angeles. That historic terminus point has become an important transit center in Los Angeles simply because it is the point where thousand...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a49e716c-3cdc-4a61-989b-5610e0f50d71/6c738ea7-7476-4ddd-a6d4-75f4cc5b134a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mk1SDZh3P8HYALMhH6Hpbr</video:player_loc><video:duration>626</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:31:57.189Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/27VucuLM2yDokuwaqgv6Td</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ab3e9d04-1b9a-4db4-86c6-ace919785b8a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1949 CHEVROLET FLEETLINE &amp; STYLELINE CARS PROMOTIONAL FILM  "ROUGH HOUSE" 89934</video:title><video:description>The 1949 short film, “Rough House,” was one of a collection of 16mm films on Chevrolets produced by Jam Handy. The film promotes the benefits of Chevrolet cars by revealing the numerous tests performed on the cars. In this film, the tests are simulated using what appears to be a 1949 Chevrolet Fleetline or Styleline Deluxe Sedan (00:24). The tests behind the comfortable ride of the Chevrolet are conducted at the General Motors Proving Ground in Milford, Michigan (01:08). The vehicles are put through a variety of tests, including the comfort test (01:22), where the vehicle is driven relentlessly on a paved circuit as well as on a Belgian block road (01:33), to test the car’s suspension. The cars are tested for noise and drafts using a large suction pump and chemical smoke (02:32). Body design, flow, and colors are tested as part of the “Appearance and Design” process (02:44). Safety tests are conducted (03:27), assessing the steering and braking of the vehicle. A decelerometer (03:49) is used to test how fast the car can stop. Vision is tested in the lab to identify and reduce obstructed viewpoints (04:31). Chevrolet also puts its cars through durability tests (05:38), monitoring the consequences of putting heavy strain on tires, engine, and body. Economy of operations is the next set of testing, where gasoline consumption, using a burette, is tested (07:10). Performance testing (07:57) is the final phase the film covers, as the car is tested for acceleration, power, braking, and driving through water in what the narrator dubs “Operation Bathtub,” Chevrolet’s longstanding water test (08:50). After all the testing is completed, the vehicles are disassembled and every component is examined (09:42) as part of the effort to provide the Chevrolet owner and driver with the best vehicle possible.

As the narrator says, the mission of the aircraft was to serve as a strategic  deterrent against the threat of a nuclear sneak attack: "When reason fails, strength prevails. If potential aggressors know that any armed attack will result in immediate retaliation, there may be no attack. Today the target is peace.."

The film begins with a montage of America, with a narrator talking in great patriotic tones about "the America we know and love, an America of a people at peace, protected by an Air Force in control of the skies." The B-36 Peacemaker, built at Fort Worth, Texas, is then shown in some detail. The film shows the factory at 2:28 with its 2-mile-long assembly line. Top management at Vultee is seen at 2:30, and USAF Strategic Command brass are seen at the factory as well.  At 3:40 some of the assembly line for this enormous aircraft are shown. At 4:50, it is shown that the Wright Bros. first flight isn't even 1/2 of the wingspan of the B-36. 

At 5:14, the film references the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor in justifying having an intercontinental bomber in the USA arsenal. The development of the B-36, an "ultra-long range" aircraft, was in response to this need. At 5:50, the aircraft is seen being towed out of the assembly line. At 6:10, Carswell Air Force Base in Ft. Worth is shown, near the Vultee Plant, and HQ of the 7th and 11th Bomb Groups. Maj. General Ramey of the USAF is shown at 6:30 discussing long-range strategic bombing plans.At 7:00, the B-36s are shown in a state of readiness in case there is a scramble. At 7:20 a crew departs on a training mission. (The rear entrance of the aircraft is an astonishing 50 yards away from the front crew entrance!)
 
At 9:09, the tube separating the front and rear areas of the bomber is shown -- or the "subway" as it is known.

The film highlights the critical role of electronic warfare (EW) in modern military conflicts, particularly in a potential Central European war where outcomes could be determined within five days. With the Soviet Union significantly expanding its conventional and strategic forces, including advanced radar and missile systems, the U.S. faces a technological and positional disadvantage. To counter this, the U.S. Air Force emphasizes the need to dominate the electromagnetic spectrum and degrade Soviet command and control capabilities. Central to this strategy is the EF-111, a modified F-111 aircraft equipped with the ALQ-99 jamming system, designed to blind enemy radar, protect strike aircraft, and ensure mission success through standoff, close-in, and deep penetration jamming roles. Tested successfully in Red Flag and Green Flag exercises, the EF-111 integrates effectively with other aircraft and is seen as essential for maintaining technological parity and tactical deterrence in an era where electronic countermeasures are as vital as firepower.

0:00 – The U.S. must rapidly deny enemy communications and radar spectrum access to gain tactical advantage.

1:03 – A war in Central Europe could be decided in 5 days, with air power playing a decisive role. However, electronic warfare (EW) is equally critical due to Soviet emphasis on jamming and radar systems.

1:38 – The Soviet Union is massively expanding both its conventional and strategic fighter forces, posing a significant threat to NATO.

DRIVER'S EDUCATION FILM  PHOENIX AZ  89094</video:title><video:description>This short educational film, “City Driving,” is produced by the Ford Motor Company, and it is one in a series in cooperation with the National Commission On Safety Education. “City Driving” is filmed in Phoenix, Arizona in 1959, and it promotes safe driving in a city environment, featuring 1960 Ford Falcons. The main car used Central High School’s 1960 Ford Falcon Driver Education car. The film covers what to do and not to do in a number of situations, focusing on the following safe driving rules: observe traffic controls; don’t assume other people to do the expected; be willing to yield the right of way to anyone who needs it; and constantly analyze the situation ahead. The film teaches these concepts as it follows the Driver Education car throughout the city and suburbs of Phoenix. Notable footage includes driving down Van Buren Street with Read Mullan Motor Co. Ford Showroom (which donated the 1960 Ford Falcons for the project) on the right and the Security Building on the left (01:03), and a fire engine leaving its station and driving through the city (07:50).

This was the most used gunpiece of the Civil War.

The Model 1857 12-Pounder Napoleon Field Gun, officially called the “light 12-pounder gun” by the United States Army, was the most popular smoothbore cannon used during the American Civil War. The cannon was named after French president and emperor, Napoleon III, nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte.

The French Canon obusier de campagne de 12 cm, modèle 1853, also known as the Canon de l’Empereur, was a type of canon-obusier (shell cannon) or gun-howitzer developed in 1853 by the French army. It could fire ball, shell, canister or grapeshot which allowed it to replace all the earlier French cannons. It was of a cast bronze smoothbore design and could double as a howitzer. It was light enough to be pulled by a team of horses. At the same time it had enough firepower to destroy fortifications at a distance of a half-mile (805 meters). When it entered the service of Emperor Napoléon III it was named after him.

In 1857 the design was adopted by the U.S. Army as the light 12-pounder M1857. The Union made 1,156 units while the Confederacy made 501. Because they did not have the manufacturing capacity of the North, Confederates attempted to capture as many Union-made Napoleon 12-pounders as they could.[4] The Confederate army also developed their own version. In 1863, General Robert E. Lee was so impressed by the M1857 that he had all six-pounders in the Army of Northern Virginia gathered up and sent to Richmond to be melted down and re-cast into 12-pounders. The Confederates kept producing 12-pounder Napoleons until the Union army captured the Ducktown copper mines near Chattanooga, Tennessee. This reduced Confederates bronze production. After that Confederate 1857s were cast of iron.

The film begins with a flight aboard a propeller driven aircraft from an unknown base to Manila. At 1:35 the aircraft lands at an unknown airport before the journey continues by plane and then by boat. By 2:51 the flag of the Philippines is seen, and it appears this part of the film was shot from a boat. At 3:00 a large Spanish-style structure is seen, which at 3:13 is revealed to be heavily damaged. This building appears to be the Supreme Court of the Philippines. 

At 3:20 another ruined building is shown, possibly the Manila Main Post Office which was built in 1926.More ruined structures are shown nearby, evidence of the fierce fighting that occurred during the liberation of Manila. At 3:52 the University of Santo Tomás Main Building is seen. This was the first earthquake-resistant building in the Philippines, constructed in 1925.

At 4:00 the San Agustin Church in Intramuros is shown, its facade pockmarked with bullet holes.  At 4;21 are some shots that appear to possibly show walls of Fort Santiago. Wide swaths of empty land are shown, possibly cleared debris zones. At 4:30 some U.S. personnel are seen followed by shots of children, possibly orphans under care of authorities. 

At 5:15 the film moves to a more rural area, and local inhabitants are shown posing with U.S. soldiers at 6:43, and dancing at 9:00. At 10:23 a visit to a village is shown with locals posing for the camera. At 11:37, a "bird dog" type liaison airplane is shown, tail 418000.  This is probably a Stinson L-5 Sentinel. The flight over the Philippines seen at 13:40 and following shows various buildings, some of which appear to be abandoned U.S. forts and bases and might include the ruins of Corregidor. At 14:45, Manila is once again seen this time from the air, with the central post office building visible at 14:48.  The film ends with some shots of Manila tra...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bb791042-5132-430b-b07f-01332acc2dfe/6d6fbc9f-eb99-4e7f-8205-3fee82c943e8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/p9GrHPKAN2rYQxyWyAbsLN</video:player_loc><video:duration>931</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:39:40.935Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/96jmxt1E5MEo3W5e13vqAM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/dd7e5a11-56c5-4d53-a483-cec80e69ed18.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OFFICIAL FILMS NEWSREEL 1941 VOL. II  PEACETIME USA BEFORE WORLD WAR II 55684</video:title><video:description>Made just prior to U.S. entry into World War II, this Official Films newsreel, “News Thrills: 1941, Vol. II,” recaps some of the social, military, and political events of 1941. The newsreel begins with photographers having fun photographing people on the sandy beaches of Venice, California (00:19). The next segment covers the first test flight of the world’s largest bomber, the Douglas B-19, as it takes off from Santa Monica, California (01:34) and lands at March Air Base near Riverside, California (01:52). Then the film documents a British destroyer that stopped two German ships; the German crew set fire to their ship before it is torpedoed by the British destroyer (02:41) and sinks. The second German ship is inspected by British officials before being sunk with small deck bombs (02:55). The newsreel continues with war coverage, moving to the Russian-German front, where Soviet citizens prepare for Nazi attacks, and women mobilize for the war (03:38). In Moscow, on 12 July 1941, Soviet Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav Molotov (03:54) and British Ambassador Sir Stafford Cripps (04:03) sign an agreement between the Soviet Union and Great Britain that preceded the treaty between the two countries a year later; Joseph Stalin smiles while watching the signing of the agreement (04:00). The film then shows three Red Army Marshals charged with protecting Soviet territory: Marshal Kliment Voroshilov directs the Leningrad defense (04:16); Marshal Semyon Timoshenko defends Moscow (04:23); and Marshal Semyon Budyonny oversees defense of the Ukraine (04:29). The Red Army was not the sole source of resistance, as Russian guerilla fighters make preparations (04:32). German paratroopers fly over a Russian village, prompting the villagers who are trained in anti-parachute tactics to mobilize to attack the Nazi invaders (04:45). Meanwhile, German Messerschmitts attack Soviet airfields (05:09) and destroy ground Soviet aircraft. German infantry attack and march on Russian towns (05:50)...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/418723a8-e710-4e8a-a89a-ca6555c15129/2f12c218-a49b-415d-a5e3-fc5b16d950af-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/96jmxt1E5MEo3W5e13vqAM</video:player_loc><video:duration>580</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:40:19.716Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qGbnkAut6UzD8MhE28gyCJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c0a862c9-f9cc-4b16-a66d-3710848f34aa.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>TNT HANDLE WITH CARE   WWII MUNITIONS DOCUMENTARY  33074</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

The 1943 documentary film HANDLE WITH CARE is the 11th film produced by the National Film Board of Canada in a series of films produced for the Department of Munitions and Supply. The short documentary looks at the industrial chemical plants that produce Canada’s explosives, a booming industry resulting from Canada’s wartime mobilization. The film begins by looking at large industrial complexes, complete with harmful byproducts such as acid water (00:41). Prairie factories harness Canada’s natural gas reserves and turn it into ammonia (02:54). Men work in mountain factories and mines to produce ammonia nitrate (03:26). Thousands of men and women who work in this industry change from their street clothes into sterile safety gear every day to do their jobs (04:47). Some of the people most responsible for expanding Canada’s industrial chemical industry are the industrial chemists (05:30). Nitric acid is one of the most crucial chemicals, and the film explains its role by describing TNT’s chemical makeup, production, and the chemical results of igniting the explosive (07:10). The explosive plants also produce cordite or nitrocellulose powder, the propellants used with TNT-filled shells (09:07). A major focus of the film is the vital role women play in the production of explosives at the plants. Women weigh and bag cordite (11:16), fill ignitor pads, make caps and detonators (11:42), and examine fuses (13:03). Many women working in the explosives plants live in nearby staff housing (14:00), complete with a community hall (14:22) that provides them with space for social life: it is a place to watch movies, dance, and play games. The film concludes by tracing the final production of shells (15:20). Workers carefully fill shells, paint and stencil them, adjust fuses, then load them onto boxcars for transportation (17:34).

The film traces the history of the development of motion pictures from the first camera to Edison’s kinetoscope and the Lumiere brothers’ cinematograph. The film begins with a brief recap of photographing still simple subjects. The issue of animating still photographs is apparent with the “School of the Successive Pose” (01:51), and it isn’t until Dr. Etienne-Jules Marey begins his study of movement that the motion picture camera’s foundation is laid. Marey’s study of motion began with Karl von Vierordt’s sphygmograph (03:20—likely a Marey design of Vierordt’s invention). Marey then adapts the sphygmograph to fit a horse and rider (04:09) in order to record the movement of the horse (at a walk, trot, and gallop). Marey’s graph reveals that on the third beat, a horse rested on only one leg, a conclusion that was at odds with the current understanding of how horses galloped. Avid horse racing fan Leland Stanford places a $25,000 bet on Marey’s conclusion and hires photographer Eadweard Muybridge (05:28) to prove Marey’s theory using a battery of 24 cameras to photograph the galloping horse (05:45—recreation of camera battery). Muybridge’s album is sent to Marey, who is impressed and takes up photography to better understand movement. Marey invents his own chronophotograph to better capture movement (07:30—use of chronophotograph, representation of Marey), going as far as to diagram human movement (09:30). With Kodak film (10:15—early Kodak film camera) replacing photographic plates, Marey adapts his chronophotograph (10:20), photographing himself (11:30) with his own chronophotograph. However, it isn’t until Thomas Edison (12:09) that the next breakthrough in motion picture cameras is made. Edison and his interest in reproducing movement brings the motion picture camera into existence. Edison invents his ow...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3074672e-731c-42ba-9c8a-966932bf98d9/95218856-78eb-4fa0-b702-698fa58e6ba7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6Z38KmaSYS8si4GKkJkfcK</video:player_loc><video:duration>1249</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:46:29.388Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Lumiere brothers</video:tag><video:tag>cinematograph</video:tag><video:tag>motion picture cameras</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sUbit8NyCAKt6WGqu2E9To</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0b669854-1426-48c5-bb39-7e710ca5627f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WE SAID WE'D COME BACK   U.S. NAVY &amp; MARINE CORPS INVASION OF GUAM  32334</video:title><video:description>Made in 1945, WE SAID WE'D COME BACK shows the invasion of Guam and the actions and successes of the U.S. Navy to maintain the support of the American public. The film features Admiral Ernest J. King, the Chief of Naval Operations and the Admiral in Chief. It also ends with a brief appearance by James Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy.

The film shows how the war in the Pacific was turning to the American side including footage of the retaking of Guam and warships such as the U.S.S. Washington and San Francisco engaged in battle. The film shows the range of naval vessels and airplanes including battleships, cruisers, submarines (including one launched at a shipyard in Wisconsin), baby aircraft carriers with Grumman Avengers, destroyer escorts (4:00), PT boats. Depicts the great lengths the Navy goes to to save and care for wounded sailors. Shows the Seabees constructing an airstrip at 7:00, five days after the D-day landing. 14 days later the airstrip is shown in full operation. Ends with an appeal by the Secretary of the Navy for the American public to buy War Bonds.

The film shows rockets fired from Avengers at 4:45. At 5:00, wounded sailors are shown being taken care of in hospital. At 5:15, Marine Corps corpsmen are seen. The film ends with an animated sequence likely made by the Walt Disney Co., showing the vastly superior numbers of ships and aircraft now available to the USA forces.

In this era only four planes per day made the grueling flight. Featured in the film is a Douglas DC-6 operated by British Commonwealth Pacific Airlines or BCPA. This was an airline registered in New South Wales, Australia in June 1946 with headquarters in Sydney. It was formed by the governments of Australia (50%), New Zealand (30%) and the United Kingdom (20%) to pursue trans-Pacific flights. BCPA was later taken over by Qantas. (Note: the narrator refers to the aircraft shown in the movie as a "Skymaster" which was generally the name used for the C-54, a cargo aircraft related to the DC-6. The plane shown is the BCPA "Discovery", and it's possible it was actually not a DC-6 but a DC-4. BCPA operated DC-4s prior to acquiring DC-6s.) 

At 2:29, the plane lands at Fiji for refueling at the Nadi Airport. Fiji is shown including sugar cane cultivation, pineapple plantations, and more. At 3:30 stewardesses are introduced to the royal family. At 4:30 the film mentions a stop at Canton Island, but that stop is not shown. At 4:50, the aircraft arrives at Hawaii, and the Honolulu airport is shown. At 5:20 the stewardesses explore Waikiki Beach and pick up a surfboard to learn to surf. At 5:54, traditional hula dancing is shown. At 5:53, the trip resumes to Vancouver with stewardess service shown over the Pacific. At 7:20 San Francisco is seen from low altitude. San Francisco airport is shown briefly before the trip resumes over the Pacific NW. At 8:13 Vancouver is shown with its modern airport and downtown including at 8:30 streetcars and buses near the Capital Theater and Strand.

This silent 1940’s film shows employees from the Hirth Concrete Breaking Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin performing various demolition and construction tasks. The buildings they work on range from a Jewish synagogue, to a Sears department store. The film was likely made by the Hirth marketing team, or possibly the owner, to promote the company as it features a wide array of equipment, from trucks and cranes to drills. The film shot scenes of a demolition outfit with dump trucks and pavement breakers. The film also features various equipment from Ingersoll and Rand.

The film appears to capture a day of traditional life on Beqa, as villagers prepare for a fishing expedition by harvesting vines to make ropes (00:40) then eat lunch, complete with coconuts (01:33) and snakes (02:45). After the meal, the villagers move into the water by boat (03:20) or by wading (03:58), while children play in the water and look on. One villager shows off part of the harvest, holding a large fish (04:21). Villagers then begin work for the fire-walking ceremony by preparing the pit (05:10) with wood and rocks. A villager announces the ceremony by blowing on a conch shell (06:10). Men make final preparations for the pit (06:47), then the fabled firewalkers perform their feat (07:40).

The film, using animation, presents an overview of the key physical principles of how a submarine operates. The film starts with footage of a sub surfacing (00:37) before switching to animation to demonstrate the physical principles. First is Archimedes’ Law of Buoyancy (00:50) and Force of Buoyancy (02:00), as the film discusses how to change buoyancy through engineering water and air displacement. The film then discusses Fore and Aft Balance, based on Archimedes’ Law of the Lever (06:10); keeping the center of gravity in line with the center of buoyancy is how subs stay level. The film then quickly shows the effects of tilt on a sub (07:53), before ending the animation and concluding the film as it began—with footage of a submarine surfacing (10:35).

JANOS SELYE  MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS ON MICE &amp; RATS FILM   57194</video:title><video:description>Made in the 1950s, this incredible film recounts the medical research work of Dr. János Hugo Bruno "Hans" Selye, (January 26, 1907 – October 16, 1982),  a pioneering Austrian-Canadian endocrinologist of Hungarian origin. He conducted much important scientific work on the hypothetical non-specific response of an organism to stressors. Although he did not recognize all of the many aspects of glucocorticoids, Selye was aware of their role in the stress response. Many scientists believe him to be the first to demonstrate the existence of biological stress.

We apologize that this print is water damaged, but the content remains quite vivid. The film shows a variety of medical experiments performed on mice including subjects injected with formalin and other chemicals to produce stress, and other forms of stress such as (at 7:10) the animal being immobilized or (at 9:28) starved, or exposed to extreme cold (12:48) or heat. Injections of Dextran and hydrocortisone are also shown in the film. Animal dissections are also shown in the film such as at 20:40.

Dr. Selye's inspiration for general adaptation syndrome (GAS, a theory of stress) came from an endocrinological experiment in which he injected mice with extracts of various organs. He at first believed he had discovered a new hormone, but was proved wrong when every irritating substance he injected produced the same symptoms (swelling of the adrenal cortex, atrophy of the thymus, gastric and duodenal ulcers). This, paired with his observation that people with different diseases exhibit similar symptoms, led to his description of the effects of "noxious agents" as he at first called it. He later coined the term "stress", which has been accepted into the lexicon of most other languages.

Selye discovered and documented that stress differs from other physical responses in that stress is stressful whether one receives good or bad news, whether the impulse is positive or negative. He called negative stress "distress" and po...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/10da469d-0219-4d81-ac39-5d477aa0fbd0/c98182ea-f518-4ae9-acbf-a6827663a370-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/35GB4DSrzuKpYHyvztGbqG</video:player_loc><video:duration>1981</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:58:17.207Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/h35Kk1F44ubytQUCmjARWq</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b037b1eb-2635-4005-8729-2a34a73cb040.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY NEWS POLARIS MISSILE SUBMARINES  USS TRITON  BUOYANT ASCENT 58444</video:title><video:description>This U.S. Navy newsreel shows the launch of the USS Robert E.

ThIs promotional film for the Federal Cartridge corporation's high quality shotgun cartridges and centerfire ammunition dates to the 1970s, after the introduction of the company's Premium line. The film attempts to show the "inside story" of Federal Cartridge, showing how quality is maintained throughout the manufacturing process, and touching on various innovations that the company has pioneered. The film begins with aerial footage of the company's 1 million square foot factory, which at the time was the second largest in the USA. It then shows some of the vast factory's interior and exterior which includes a library, a club house, flower garden and many other amenities. At 3:50, the assembly line and warehouses are seen containing raw materials in vast supply. At 4:20, some of the eight quality control labs are seen, where raw materials are tested. At 5:00, a montage of production of shells is seen in some of the gigantic automated assembly line. At 10:50, centerfire cartridges are seen being tested and inspected for uniformity and accuracy. 25% of personnel at Federal work in quality control. At 13:20, .22 rimfire cartridges are displayed and their production shown. At 15:30, live fire of ammunition is shown including on ranges and in the field, to test accuracy and uniformity. 

Federal Premium Ammunition, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vista Outdoor Inc., is located in Anoka, Minnesota. With a work force of nearly 1,500, Federal manufactures shotshell, centerfire, and rimfire ammunition and components.

On April 27, 1922, Charles L. Horn took control of a small plant in Anoka, Minnesota and refounded Federal Cartridge Corporation. Horn launched a distribution plan that involved merchandising Federal products in grocery stores, barbers shops, and filling stations. In 1941, Federal earned an $87-million contract from the U.S. government (approx. $1.3 billion in 2010) to build and operate the $30-millio...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d87d1e3d-b014-4982-a052-57bf7e50c7e3/381ef291-e29e-44d7-9fb3-7024d3119006-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sJvDUqYQwKVAEuofosQzFa</video:player_loc><video:duration>1127</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T17:59:29.549Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/x7tem962GseLJYCb6Sdw7C</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c8bf8333-9b97-407a-904d-9664e6588997.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" TOUGH SLEDDING "   NORTHROP CORPORATION ROCKET SLED GAG FILM  (Color version) 28864</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

One of the most infamous "gag" films ever produced under the auspices of the Department of Defense, "Tough Sledding" was apparently created by the staff at Northrop Corporation in the late 1950s. No, we don't know what they were smoking!  In this era Northrop was heavily engaged in conducting human factors research, and developing escape systems including ejection seats and parachutes for use in aircraft and spacecraft. This included the work of Dr. John Paul Stapp, who famously rode rocket sleds at Edwards AFB where he became known as the "Fastest Man on Earth". (Stapp also helped name "Murphy's Law" -- see "A History of Murphy's Law" on Amazon for more details).

Made by "Lower Rank Productions", "Tough Sledding" is a full color blast into irony, the kind of film that could only have been made in America. It's just surprising it emerged from the very conservative 1950s, where such artistic creations were often frowned upon. 

Incidentally, the rocket sled shown is likely the one used for the T-38 Talon, which Northrop produced beginning in 1961. Apparently the system required a great deal of work to perfect...as this five minute wonder aptly demonstrates!

Produced in 1945, "The 6th Marine Division on Okinawa" is  documentary film about the Battle of Okinawa, codenamed Operation Iceberg. The film was released shortly after the event as part of the WWII war bond effort. During the campaign for Okinawa (Operation Iceberg) the Sixth Marine Division was assigned to the III Amphibious Corps. This Academy Award nominated documentary film tells the story of the 82 days fighting on the Island of Okinawa. It was shot in Kodachrome color.

The Battle of Okinawa, codenamed Operation Iceberg, was fought on the Ryukyu Islands of Okinawa and was the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific War of World War II. The 82-day-long battle lasted from early April until mid-June 1945. After a long campaign of island hopping, the Allies were approaching Japan, and planned to use Okinawa, a large island only 340 mi (550 km) away from mainland Japan, as a base for air operations on the planned invasion of Japanese mainland (coded Operation Downfall). Four divisions of the U.S. 10th Army (the 7th, 27th, 77th, and 96th) and two Marine Divisions (the 1st and 6th) fought on the island. Their invasion was supported by naval, amphibious, and tactical air forces.

The battle has been referred to as the "typhoon of steel" in English, and tetsu no ame ("rain of steel") or tetsu no bōfū ("violent wind of steel") in Japanese. The nicknames refer to the ferocity of the fighting, the intensity of kamikaze attacks from the Japanese defenders, and to the sheer numbers of Allied ships and armored vehicles that assaulted the island. The battle resulted in the highest number of casualties in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Based on Okinawan government sources, mainland Japan lost 77,166 soldiers, who were either killed or committed suicide, and the Allies suffered 14,009 deaths (with an estimated total of more than 65,000 casualties of all kinds). Simultaneously, 42,000–150,000 local civ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/29811b32-77d4-41d0-82fe-1cbb3cc47d1c/72bf07e6-2939-4746-8f3c-94f523f762ee-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/68fWt9842SCaWPjjBMTRsL</video:player_loc><video:duration>1435</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:03:34.298Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dio7JDNLPDoFJEgeEAyXh4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a5f7fcf9-2bff-4788-a2ac-07841b0dcf1c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s OIL REFINERY  WYOMING  HOME MOVIE 46624</video:title><video:description>This silent home movie dates to the 1930s and shows a fairly large oil refinery located in Casper, Wyoming.  In the 1890s, significant oil strikes were made in northern Natrona County. Investors, comfortable with dependable nearby supplies of crude oil, underwrote construction of Wyoming’s first refinery in 1895. Pennsylvania investors headed by Philip Shannon formed the firm at Casper and named it the Pennsylvania Refinery. They also struck oil at what became known as the Shannon Field north of Casper.

The film provides a fascinating (if amateur shot) look at the refinery and its machinery. Too bad we don't have a narration track for this film, but home movies shot in this period were always silent.

The film begins in the Bay of Funchal, with a passenger liner arriving in the busy harbor. At 1:05, natives in boats greet the tourists in the harbor, and offer wares. At 1:29, boys call for coins which are thrown from the ship. At 1:50 the volcanic beaches are seen. At 2:30, sleighs pulled on runners are seen, in a city where the narrator says automobiles are few. At 3:00, local handicrafts are seen including embroidery. At 4:00, some of the work to prepare casques for Madeira wine is shown. At 4:30, the wine is shown being moved to a vault for aging. At 5:00, a vault which has not been opened for 50 years is seen. At 5:15, a 330-year-old wine is sampled. At 5:26, a tradition native cap is shown, and at 5:40 locals celebrate the wonderful wine with a song accompanied by a primitive guitar. At 6:22, some of the unique flowers of Madeira are shown. At 6:43, a cog railway is seen in the heights above Funchal. At 7:00, men carry tourists up the mountains in a hammock. At 7:29 the cog railway is seen again, arriving at the top of the mountain above Funchal. At 7:50, tourists are seen sliding down the mountain in sleds that slide down the cobblestone streets. 

Madeira is a Portuguese archipelago situated in the north Atlantic Ocean, southwest of Portugal. Its total population was estimated in 2011 at 267,785. The capital of Madeira is Funchal, located on the main island's south coast.The archipelago is just under 400 kilometres (250 mi) north of Tenerife, Canary Islands. Since 1976, the archipelago has been one of the two autonomous regions of Portugal (the other being the Azores, located to the northwest). It includes the islands of Madeira, Porto Santo, and the Desertas, administered together with the separate archipelago of the Savage Islands. The region has political and administrative autonomy through the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/103f3c16-4182-47b4-8f6e-48ac76edb725/d1645707-48ae-422f-860f-be7028060aa8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/31n2tBPaKpzyznpeHKWNjr</video:player_loc><video:duration>556</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:05:13.744Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/phzuKFjbEVmetf1pFtDKyH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/600b5fcb-0269-4617-8c8a-6bb9982d2242.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE ANGLED DECK AIRCRAFT CARRIER &amp; FLIGHT DECK SAFETY  1955 U.S. NAVY FILM  81044</video:title><video:description>Made in 1955, this U.S. Navy training film discusses the new "angled deck" aircraft carriers.  The angled flight deck was invented by Royal Navy Captain (later Rear Admiral) Dennis Cambell, as an outgrowth of design study initially begun in the winter of 1944-1945 when a committee of senior Royal Navy officers decided that the future of naval aviation was in jets, whose higher speeds required that the carriers be modified to "fit" the needs of jets. With this type of deck — also called a "skewed deck", "canted deck", "waste angle deck", or the "angle" — the aft part of the deck is widened and a separate runway is positioned at an angle from the centerline. The angled flight deck was designed with the higher landing speeds of jet aircraft in mind, which would have required the entire length of a centreline flight deck to stop. The design also allowed for concurrent launch and recovery operations, and allowed aircraft failing to connect with the arrestor cables to abort the landing, accelerate, and relaunch (or "bolter") without risk to other parked or launching aircraft.
 
The redesign allowed for several other design and operational modifications, including the mounting of a larger island (improving both ship-handling and flight control), drastically simplified aircraft recovery and deck movement (aircraft now launched from the bow and re-embarked on the angle, leaving a large open area amidships for arming and fueling), and damage control. Because of its utility in flight operations, the angled deck is now a defining feature of STOBAR and CATOBAR equipped aircraft carriers.

The angled flight deck was first tested on HMS Triumph by painting angled deck markings onto the centerline of the flight deck for touch and go landings.  This was also tested on the USS Midway the same year. Despite the new markings, in both cases the arresting gear and barriers were still aligned with the centerline of the original deck. From September to December 1952, the USS Antietam ha...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bc92bb63-5650-460a-a279-c47f11d5f00d/94422d34-7b5d-41bd-b39b-c72d57b39dba-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/phzuKFjbEVmetf1pFtDKyH</video:player_loc><video:duration>935</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:07:42.004Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wpjSqQnRFKC6D12aPKhPFm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b5a5fd70-2f40-44b1-8220-13c55827d168.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ROYAL NAVY HMS DAEDALUS ENGINEERING SCHOOL RECRUITING FILM 56114</video:title><video:description>This 1973 short film promotes the H.M.S. Daedalus, the Naval Air Engineering School. The film opens with a shot of helicopters taking off from an aircraft carrier (00:16), then cuts to scene of a student doing a flight simulation with a Wessex V mockup (00:36). The school’s female students, known as wren air mechanics (01:30), also study naval engineering. Students learn about and work on helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, such as the Sea Vixen fighter plane (02:42). The men and women at H.M.S. Daedalus learn to load aircraft with bombs (04:50) and mount machine guns (05:38), as well as reading instruments in mock cockpits, such as one in a Westland Sea King helicopter mockup (06:31). Students enjoy having the opportunity to build their own small aircraft too, such as a Kittiwake (07:41). 

Royal Naval Air Station Lee-on-Solent (HMS Daedalus) was one of the primary shore airfields of the Fleet Air Arm. First established as a seaplane base in 1917 during the First World War, it later became the main training establishment and administrative centre of the Fleet Air Arm. Situated near Lee-on-the-Solent in Hampshire, approximately four miles west of Portsmouth on the coast of the Solent at grid reference SU560019, the establishment has now been closed down. The airfield hosts the Solent Enterprise Zone.

The Mitchell Kittiwake is a British single engine sporting aircraft designed for amateur building. Plans were available for both single-seat and two-seat versions, but only four were constructed. In addition to the prototype, two Kittiwake Is were built, one by Royal Navy apprentices in 1971 for glider towing. For this role a larger diameter (6 ft 4 in, 1.93 m) propeller is fitted, increasing the rate of climb by 24%. A tow release hook is fitted under the tail. Only one Kittiwake II, the prototype, was built. One Kittiwake was active until at least at 2005 and the other is still active. They remain on the UK Civil Register. These are the prototype, G-ATXN and the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f633e52d-4823-47b6-af37-0594e78147d6/7aefafe0-ffc8-4acb-8bfd-cff923962cd1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wpjSqQnRFKC6D12aPKhPFm</video:player_loc><video:duration>520</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:08:12.546Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wKp6PFkFA6emGZM2sCdEk8</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d658b93e-eb0c-44d7-be3c-414206d0e624.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>POLAND TRAVELOGUE 1933  KRAKOW, KATOWICE, GDANSK, WARSAW  56554</video:title><video:description>This 1933 short film, “A Flying Visit to Poland,” produced by the Gdynia-America Line, gives an overview of visiting Poland, touching on many of Poland’s places of interest. The film begins in Krakow (or Kracow) with ancient city’s highlights: the Trumpeter of Krakow (01:00); St. Mary’s Church (01:17); the Wawel, a national shrine also referred to as Poland’s tower of London (01:23); the old cobbled streets of Krakow (01:27); the Barbican, Krakow’s old circular fort (01:34); and an ancient chapel carved out of salt at the entrance of the Wieliczka salt mines (1:40). The next stop on the tour is Katowice (02:05), an industrial city dubbed the Pittsburg of Poland. With its massive iron and steel industry (02:10), it provides the steel needed to build Poland’s own railroad equipment and locomotives (02:25), as well as Poland’s own bridges (02:33). Coal is another major resource harvested from Katowice and the larger Silesian province (02:40). Lumber is another major resource of Poland, and lumberjacks chop trees down (03:12) and then floated downriver (03:29) to Gdansk and Gdynia for export; Poland is also an oil producer (03:40). The film then turns to coastal city of Gdynia (03:59). The city quickly grew into a modern city with its massive harbor (04:14). The film’s next stop is Czestochowa (04:35), home to the famous Jasna Gora monastery and its international religious procession celebrating the feast day of Our Lady of Czestochowa (04:41). Religious processions occur all over, such as in Lowicz, complete with the national costumes of Poland (05:02). The film then looks at rural society (05:28), dominated by agriculture. Farmers grow and harvest a number of different crops and, accordingly, celebrate the Harvest Festival (05:48). Part of that entails presenting part of the harvest to President Ignacy Moscicki (05:55). The film then shows a traditional wedding ceremony with Polish customs (06:10), followed by traditional Polish dancing (06:55).

The first clip shows a U.S. patrol infiltrating enemy territory northwest of Inje, where U.S. troops use hit-and-run tactics to inflict damage (01:24). A Communications team prepares to erect a VHF station by reviewing plans (03:06). A combination of pack mules (03:30) and Korean civilians (04:05) help haul supplies to the site of the station. Once antennas are set up (04:21), the remaining supplies are brought to the station using a pulley-shuttle system (05:30). After installing the switchboards, contact is made with another station (06:10), and the new VHF station is up and running. The next segment, “Attack on Hill 1179” (07:06), shows U.S. riflemen braving the heavy July rains as they move to take Hill 1179, just north of Yanggu. The riflemen are supported by self-propelled 155 mm Howitzers (07:45), tanks (08:23), and a mortar company firing M2 4.2 mortars (09:05). Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcars assist in the operation by resupplying ground forces with ammunition and supplies via airdrops (09:36). The film moves from the combat side of the conflict to humanitarian side, where Korean refugees gather on the south shore of the Han River (10:15) hoping to return to Seoul now that the enemy has been pushed north. Most of the indignant refugees, including orphaned or lost children (11:20), are denied access across the river because of food shortages in Seoul. Those who are allowed to return are first given typhus vaccines (11:42) before they are allowed to board the boats (12:15) that will take them across the Han River (13:00) to the ruins of their homes. The film then shows a U.S. north of Yanggu, where an enemy box mine inflicted damage to an M4 tank and injured its crewmember (14:08). A soldier probes for more mines and finds a seco...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/96186840-4f24-45d5-875d-1b01a43e4683/6e678fea-5ca0-4e7f-a7b5-3db9fc4174f2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jwZLiELawhhobEgHVfphKM</video:player_loc><video:duration>1118</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:12:55.400Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xgev7YQ1UCZX6TRZ3A7Rdt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/12a17687-29ea-488a-9716-4b3d20e49ab8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LCVP HIGGINS BOAT 1944 U.S. NAVY LANDING CRAFT TRAINING FILM 81614</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This film about the LCVP provides an introduction and look at the nomenclature (00:44) of systems aboard these vessels. The film dates to 1944. LCVP is short for Landing Craft, Vehicle-Personnel, also known as a Higgins boat (named after its creator Andrew Higgins). The film begins by detailing the stats of the LCVP while showing footage of LCVPs skipping along the water then landing on shore (02:11), where they unload soldiers (02:15), vehicles (02:23), and cargo—such as ammunition (02:35). LCVPs are a crucial part in land-sea operations, which can involve ships as well as aircraft, such as dirigibles (03:04). The LCVP’s exterior construction details are recounted while one of the vessels is suspended by a crane (03:17), allowing the viewer to see every part of the boat, including the scuffle boards (03:53) and the keel-like skeg (04:01). That is followed by a look at the interior of the LCVP (05:08), covering the layout. This overview also briefly discusses the engine, engine controls, and how to operate the LCVP (05:37). The film then shows some of the features of the boat, such as the electric compass repeater (07:12), the adjustable wheel (07:23), and the gun pits in the decked-over aft, called the transom (08:21). Next, the film reviews the essential equipment the LCVP is stocked with (09:33). After covering the boat and necessary gear, the film explains the members and roles of the crew (12:03): the coxswain, engineer, sternman, and bowman. The film ends with the bowman and engineer releasing the ramp and troops deploying onto a beach (13:09), followed by the sternman acting as the signalman (13:47).

The landing craft, vehicle, personnel (LCVP) or Higgins boat was a landing craft used extensively in amphibious landings in World War II. The craft was designed by Andrew Higgins based on boats made for operating in swamps and marshes. More than 20,000 were built, by Higgins Industries and licensees...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fd2bc6a5-3eb2-4fef-add6-a81dc9a44ac7/7743df88-b460-4f8c-9bab-b36563482de5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xgev7YQ1UCZX6TRZ3A7Rdt</video:player_loc><video:duration>885</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:15:03.889Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1oaEnaUSDdNDAW89jb5k11</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/29ab30d0-0ba7-484d-904f-01780101a628.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OWENS-ILLINOIS GLASS MANUFACTURING COMPANY PROMOTIONAL FILM 50984</video:title><video:description>Produced by the Owens-Illinois Glass Company in 1952, IN GLASSTOWN USA shows the company's manufacturing process.

Known as the Boeing 367-80, or simply as the Dash 80, this American four-engine prototype aircraft tail # N70700 demonstrated the advantages of jet propulsion for commercial aviation. It served as base for the design of the KC-135 tanker and the 707 airliner. Some of the design features of the aircraft were pioneered in the B-52 aircraft.

The film shows many of the features of the aircraft and its assembly before showing taxi tests at 9:53, and then the first flight on July 15, 1954 with pilot Tex Johnston and co-pilot Richard L. “Dix” Loesch at the controls, at 10:30. Celebrations are seen following a successful flight and landing, with the plane then flown above 42,000 feet in the coming days. The jet age had arrived. 

The swept wing Dash 80 first flew in 1954, less than two years from project launch. Its US$16 million cost was an enormous risk for Boeing, which at the time had no committed customers. Only one example was built, which has been preserved and is currently on public display at the Udvar-Hazy Center in Virginia.

As the first of a new generation of passenger jets, Boeing wanted the aircraft's model number to emphasize the difference from its previous propeller-driven aircraft which bore 300-series numbers. The 400-, 500- and 600-series were already used by missiles and other products, so Boeing decided that the jets would bear 700-series numbers, and the first would be the 707. Boeing had studied developments of its existing Model 367 (the KC-97 Stratofreighter) incorporating swept wings and podded engines; and chose to build the 367-80, which retained little of the KC-97 except the upper fuselage diameter (and the possibility of building some of the fuselage with existing tooling). Although the design was announced publicly as the Model 707, the prototype was referred to within Boeing simply as the Dash 80 or "-80".

The Dash 80 fuse...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/23f3cef9-775e-4227-8e13-b010b56f489e/759bdfc5-a201-4a38-abff-d0b572f61671-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5ruE2eKY9SxtkjX4y8j1LE</video:player_loc><video:duration>922</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:19:43.506Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hDCEXXJdvJneDHKh8VM6gz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d4ec06b5-2ac5-4696-91e5-448b1f396c7e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WORLD WAR II  U.S. NAVY WAVES   WOMEN VOLUNTEERS  RECRUITMENT FILM  REPORT TO JUDY 42254</video:title><video:description>This Navy WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) recruitment film was produced in 1944. Scenes of the Hydrographic Office and barracks were filmed beginning May 9, 1944. Hydrographic Office history records that, “Photo Science Lab photographers aboard to make motion pictures of WAVES for a BuPers (Bureau of Naval Personnel) Procurement “Short” to be released by Warner Brothers.”

The main character, the mother, is an actress, but the other WAVES appearing in the film are real WAVES. The film begins 10 years after WWII is over and is set in Illinois. At the start, a small plane -- an Erco Ercoupe -- is flown by a woman lands in a field. The woman, her daughter and their dog get out of the plane and have a picnic. The girl looks at a magazine and finds an article called “When Mother was a WAVE.” The girl, named Judy, asks her mother, “what did you do in the last big war?” The mother says she was a WAVE.

At 2:45 the mother explains that she was stationed in Washington, D.C. Images show lots of service people walking around famous monuments and sights in Washington. The mother explains that men were sent to fight and woman replaced them in homefront jobs. At 3:20 the mother is shown in her WAVE uniform leading other WAVES. At 3:30 she is shown at her job in the Progress Section of the Hydrographic Office. The following scene shows WAVE Ensign Turner, a former architect, at work designing a battleship. At 4:00, a new battleship is launched.

At 4:15, WAVE Quarters is shown is Washington, D.C. - housing. At 4:20, Ship’s Service is shown, an eating facility and soda fountain. 

At 4:36, Helen Mozell from Philadelphia is featured as a WAVE making charts. At 5:00, the commanding officer is shown supervising WAVES making charts. 

At 5:15, maps are seen being printed at the Hydrographic Office.

Various combat scenes are shown from 5:24-5:45.

WAVES are seen swimming in the large swimming pool at WAVE Quarters at 5:46.

Battleships, cruisers and destroyers are seen. At 1:00, the crew of the USS Colorado is seen at muster. The USS Colorado (BB-45) was a battleship of the United States Navy that was in service from 1923 to 1947. She was the lead ship of the Colorado class of battleships and the third naval ship named for the 38th state.

At 1:25, the Colorado drops anchor. At 1:35, an biplane is launched from an aircraft carrier.  At 2:30, the aircraft carrier is seen retrieving planes.

At 2:40, a "South Sea isle" is shown, most likely Hawaii. USS Colorado visited Hawaii in 1937, although this film appears that it could have been created before that date (so this date is just a guess). The performance includes a child hula dancer.

At 4:00, a U.S. Navy dirigible is seen flying overhead, either USS Macon or USS Akron. At 4:30 a submarine is seen. 

At 5:40, a title card explains that an earthquake has occurred and that the Navy is rushing to provide food and medicine to victims. Aircraft assist in this effort. Most likely this is the 1931 Nicaragua earthquake. The 1931 Nicaragua earthquake devastated Nicaragua's capital city Managua on 31 March. It had a magnitude of 6.0, and killed 2000 people. A major fire started and destroyed thousands of structures, burning into the next day.

The film ends with the crew of the Colorado at mass signing "Onward Christian Soldier".

The film discusses the issues with foreign object damage (FOD) to aircraft and what the US Air Force is doing to combat the problem. The short film begins with a shot of three F-105 Thunderchiefs flying through the sky (00:32), a jet landing (00:48), and a replacement engine being installed (01:17). 
The aircraft shown at 1:06 is FH-719, from the 335th TFS/4th TFW "The Chiefs". Most likely this indicates that the film was shot at Eglin AFB in Florida,  since the 335th was based there and operating the Thud starting in May 1959. At that time the unit was the first squadron in the Air Force to receive the F-105 Thunderchief, transitioning from F-100s.

FOD is the number one cause for jet overhaul and is a significant financial burden to the US Air Force. Foreign objects that damage these powerful engines include aircraft and engine hardware (02:45), maintenance tools (02:51), miscellaneous personal effects (02:56), and runway debris including stones and gravel (03:01). Foreign objects move through the engine and can cause significant damage, starting with the compressor blades (03:15). Measures to prevent FOD begin with the manufacturer and aircraft assembly lines (04:13). FOD prevention starts with an initial inspection (04:23), followed by more inspections—such as inserting a borescope tool into an inspection port (04:47)—and preventative measures such as placing covers over the engines (04:38). These measures are taken to keep foreign objects out of not only aircraft engines, but all other parts of the aircraft as well, including wing assemblies (05:27). Efforts are made to prevent FOD during hanger and flight line operations (07:17), and frequent inspections...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f60edcba-e381-4862-b457-f2fdb0fb54e5/8c0501f9-9cec-4bd0-9645-d4a7af27a3a3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wohM6qViWdsKU9SgZzn7MB</video:player_loc><video:duration>967</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:25:20.314Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dWnzhfVSEkExFrHTjpoH8W</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/da035eaa-d12d-455a-ae7a-473bb9dbbba0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE NAVAL GUN AT IWO JIMA   CONFIDENTIAL U.S. NAVY FILM  26464</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Produced in 1945 by Jam Handy, "The Naval Gun At Iwo Jima" is a sister film to "The Naval Gun at Okinawa". This film details the important role Navy guns played in assaulting Japanese forces that were dug into caves on the island. It also shows the close support of Marines during the long assault. Naval gunfire at Iwo Jima was critical, the film explains, due to the fact that low visibility limited air operations. The film details the role played by battleships, cruisers, destroyers, destroyer escorts, and auxiliary gunboats. Shows tactics employed in exposing Japanese defenses, for example how gunboats were used to draw fire from Japanese gun batteries, exposing them so that the 16-inch guns on the battleships could used to destroy the shore positions.   

At 4:22, U.S. Navy Underwater Demolition Teams or UDTs are seen deploying into the waters off Iwo Jima, so that they can locate and destroy enemy mines obstructing the beaches. At 5:42, the swimmers are retrieved from their reconnaissance operations. 

At 6:44, the plan of attack against enemy block houses and gun emplacements at D-Day minus one is shown, with USS Idaho taking the right flank and USS Tennessee hitting the left flank of Mt. Suribachi. USS New York and USS Nevada (salvaged at Pearl Harbor) bombarded the beach landing areas for 12 hours. This set up the landing of February 19th, which is shown at 8:40. Gunfire at this point supported the landings and was backed up by air strikes. Assault waves were preceded by gunboats firing rockets (9:00) onto the beach. At 9:48, the attack plan at 15 minutes before H-hour is shown, with intense fire being laid down onto the beach ahead of the Marines. At 10:55, shots of enemy defenses that were destroyed during the landing are seen, including casemates, block houses, anti-aircraft guns, etc. According to the narrator, almost of these could only have been destroyed by naval gunfire.

This floor -- consisting of marine animals such as shrimp, whales and dolphins -- moves to different levels at different hours, different days, and different seasons. It is probed by U.S. Navy sonar, deep-trawled nets with hydrophones and instruments, and finally by by ocean going submersibles. While the film presents the research primarily in scientific terms, the study of these sound return layers was also viewed as extremely important by the Navy for tactical reasons to do with submarine operations.

Includes footage of ocean life, sonar / echometer (or " the echo sounder ") and hydrophones, deep sea and SCUBA diving, and submarine operations. A portion of the film was shot at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Some of the rare footage shown includes .  including the use of small submarines shown at 2:44, the Star III submersible (13:08) and the bathyscaphe Trieste (12:59). At 18:10, the Navy's Underwater Sound Research Laboratory at the Undersea Research and Development Center San Diego is shown at 18:20. At 25:40, project Ocean Acre is seen, with a research team led by Dr. Charles Brown of the Sound Lab studying a patch of sea water near Bermuda. The study looked at the acoustic signature vs. the biological content of the scattering layer over the seasons and eventually determined that sound scattering occurred due to the presence of millions of tiny fish equipped with swim bladders of the family Myctophidae.

The deep scattering layer, sometimes referred to as the sound scattering layer, is a name given to a layer in the ocean consisting of a variety of marine animals.

For this reason it is sometimes called the false bottom or phantom bottom.

The film begins with shots at an unidentified airport (possibly Grand Central Airport in Los Angeles) where a TWA DC-2 emblazoned with "The Lindbergh Line" is seen landing at :33 seconds. At 1:00 there are shots from the interior of the plane including a stunning sunset at 1:10. At 1:40, a sign welcomes us to the entrance to Pan American Airlines' new Treasure Island seaplane base.  At 1:55 Alcatraz prison is seen in the distance and at 2:04 the Oakland Bay Bridge. 

At 2:12 views begin of the fair itself including floral gardens and fountains. At 3:30 the "Redwood Empire" is seen. This was a special exhibit space where natural resources, recreational attractions and economic development of nine California counties were graphically presented in diorama and photographic form

At 5:24 the famous Gayway is seen at night. This was one of the fair's centerpieces. Gayway sights included sideshow-style attractions, such as little people in a Western setting and a racetrack featuring monkeys driving automobiles. At 5:36 an animated Bank of America sign is seen. 

At 6:02 is very rare footage of Pan Am Clippers / Flying Boats moored at the seaplane base. At 8:43 the 400 foot Tower of the Sun is shown. The tower was crowned with a 22 foot golden phoenix that symbolized San Francisco’s rise from the ashes after the 1906 earthquake and fires. A carillon of 44 bells were borrowed from Grace Cathedral and placed within the tower. At 9:19, more images of the Bay Bridge are seen. At 10:49, more images of the Tower. At 11:00, a plane is shown at an unknown airport -- possibly the Oakland Airport near Alameda, California.  The rest of the film shows a trip to the beach, presumably in Southern California. We could not identify the beach shown at 13:35 although it is quite distinctive -- maybe you can figure it out!

The F-104G Starfighter then in use by the Luftwaffe suffered from a high accident rate, and was not considered a good Marine aircraft.  The success of the A7 in Vietnam made the airplane very attractive, but while the Luftwaffe considered using the A-7 Corsair II to replace the F-104, it was eventually abandoned as a concept. Both Greece and Portugal, as well as Thailand, did operate A-7s with Greece retiring the last aircraft in 2014. 

Footage includes dramatic footage of the A-7 flying over mountains and lakes, at 1:40 performing bombing missions in Vietnam, operating off aircraft carriers and performing other missions. The aircraft's heads-up display (8:44; 10:00 and following) and modern armament is shown including at 3:50 its M61A1 rotary cannon. It also features a sophisticated navigation package seen at 6:55. 

The LTV A-7 Corsair II is an American carrier-capable subsonic light attack aircraft designed by Ling-Temco-Vought to replace the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk. Its airframe design was a somewhat smaller version of the supersonic Vought F-8 Crusader. The Corsair II initially entered service with the United States Navy (USN) during the Vietnam War. It was later adopted by the United States Air Force (USAF), including the Air National Guard, to replace the Douglas A-1 Skyraider and North American F-100 Super Sabre. The aircraft was also exported to Greece in the 1970s, and to Portugal in the late 1980s.

EDLAHab was used for Project FLARE, Florida Aquanot Research Expedition,  a pioneering effort to examine the nitrogen/oxygen diving techniques sponsored by the University of New Hampshire and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NOAA. UNH's Engineering Design and Analysis Laboratory was formed in 1965 as an interdisciplinary faculty group made up mainly of members of the College of Technology. In the summer of 1966 the EDAL faculty undertook a study of different types of scientific sealabs, more properly known as Scientific Saturation Diving Facilities, for the U.S. Office of Naval Research. The "Edalhab" project began when the students decided to attempt building a model of the one their faculty were designing. The eight-by-ten foot Edalhab was launched on April 26, 1968 at Alton Bay, NH. Four student aquanauts spent 48 hours and six minutes living in the sea-laboratory they designed and built. EDALHAB was a success but the lab could not be moved easily and required a support ship, so its use was limited. 

Underwater habitats are underwater structures in which people can live for extended periods and carry out most of the basic human functions of a 24-hour day, such as working, resting, eating, attending to personal hygiene, and sleeping. In this context 'habitat' is generally used in a narrow sense to mean the interior and immediate exterior of the structure and its fixtures, but not its surrounding marine environment. Most early underwater habitats lacked regenerative systems for air, water, food, electricity, and other resources. However, recently some new underwater habitats allow for these resources to be delivered using pipes, or generated within the habitat, rather than manually delivered.

It begins with a look back to 1926 and celebrating New York City’s 300th birthday (00:09). The clip shows 19th-century pictures of two New York locations followed by photos or footage of the same locations in 1926: Bowling Green (00:28) and the Flatiron Building (00:42). It shows several buildings during 1926 and then concludes with an aerial view of the city in 1950 (01:47). “1920’s: Dr. Brewster’s Armor” (02:01) shows Dr. Brewster testing his bulletproof body armor, while “1920’s: Building Bridge Around Bridge” (02:32) provides footage of the 1922 construction of a modern bridge around Chicago’s existing Wells Street bridge. “1927: St. Louis Twister!” (04:29) shows the damage caused by the tornado that ripped through the city on 29 September 1927. The next segment in the episode, “1915: Gibson Girl Fire Dept.” (05:35), captures young women in a fire drill using hand-drawn fire equipment (05:47). “1920: Salvage Ships Sunk At Scapa Flow” (06:17) presents footage of salvage crews raising sunken ships off the coast of Scapa, England (06:24), including a tuba salvaged by a diver in full suit (06:43) and the German Battleship Kaiser (06:55). “1930: Aviation” (07:03) shows the first attempt to launch a motorless aircraft from a dirigible (blimp) (07:09) on 31 January 1930. A glider is released from the USS Los Angeles (07:25), piloted by Navy Lt. Ralph Barnaby (07:59), who guides the glider to a safe landing in a snowy field (07:54). A contest in Los Angeles on 9 August 1928 is the topic of the next clip, “1928: Fashions Of The Day” (08:07), as chiropractors look for the most perfectly shaped spinal column. Women contestants show off their backs (08:15) as well as their spinal flexibility (08:50) as they compete for the title.

It's unclear why this footage was shot, but we suspect it may have been intended to be shown to young drivers as part of driver's education or, another possibility, it was being shot to create a film about safe driving techniques. The footage is not in sequence and various locations are shown; and in some cases the accidents are clearly fatal. At 5:48, a funeral home is shown where a memorial service appears to be taking place. One can assume that this was probably a funeral for one of the victims shown in this film, may they rest in peace.

However there is good reason to believe that the missile launches and atomic bomb blast shown were unrelated, as most Soviet nuclear tests were not conducted with ICBMs.

The film begins and ends with footage of the annual military parade in Red Square, where it was not uncommon to see missiles on display. At :40, a roadable IRBM or ICBM similar to those seen in Red Square is seen on the move, literally crashing through the forest and fording a stream. At 1:46 the missile system is erected above a silo, and slowly moved into it. At 2:15, Soviet ski troops are seen protecting strategic assets. At 3:00, a strategic warning drill is conducted at a launch complex. At 3:50, manufacture and assembly of a Soviet ICBM is shown.  At 5:29, the final stage of an ICBM is seen installed into a missile silo. At 6:00, a launch specialist gets medical care. At 6:23, a missile silo crew is seen on alert. At 8:00, a Soviet helicopter flies over a silo in the remote forest, while a tank makes its way through snow nearby.  At 8:50,
crew use a closed circuit television to gain entry to a silo, through a blast door seen at 9:30. At 9:36 the launch control room is shown. At 10:10, Premiere Leonid Brezhnev is seen arriving to observe. 

At 10:20, a launch alert sounds. At 10:30, the ICBMs begin rising out of their silos. 

At 11:21, a hydrogen bomb blast is seen along with a shockwave that levels test articles including Mig fighter aircraft and tanks. At 11:46 a mushroom cloud rises over the Semipalatinsk Test Site. At 11:55, the warhead of an ICBM, probably an R-12 ICBM or SS-4 Sandal, is shown.At 12:10, Marshall of the Soviet Union and commander of the Strategic Rocket Forces N.E. Krylov is shown. At 12:14 the "red phone" to call an alert is seen on his desk.

Upon completion of the rehearsal, the bombers take off (00:49) on their mission to destroy the Ploesti oil fields and cripple Germany’s primary source of oil. The Liberators fly over the Mediterranean (01:05) then Greece (01:14), before finally crossing the Danube (01:16) and into Romanian airspace. They approach Axis oil tanks (01:36) and toss incendiary sticks (01:38), then the Liberators drop 300 tons of bombs (01:44). The Liberators leave enemy territory after delivering the payloads and return home. The next clip, “Italy Surrenders” (02:44), shows Rome on 26 July 1943 as Italians celebrate the downfall of Mussolini, unaware of the completed negotiation of Italy’s unconditional surrender. Meanwhile, the British Eighth Army in Sicily prepares to invade mainland Europe (03:20) under command of General Bernard Montgomery. The Allied force lands during the early hours of 3 September 1943 (04:00) and sets up base after meeting no resistance. At the same time, the U.S. Fifth Army (04:31) prepares to invade near Naples under command of Lieutenant General Mark Clark. The convoy transporting the U.S. army comes under attack and suffers losses (05:01) with ships and planes taking heavy fire. The Fifth Army lands at Salerno (06:07) and begins the assault despite German resistance, moving inland from the beach.

It's unclear whether this display was ever adopted or deployed, as we've been unable to find references to it on the Internet. If you know about it -- let us know in the comments!

According ot the film, the display was developed with Wright Air Development Center's Flight Control Laboratory and Avion. It allowed an unprecedented degree of accuracy. At 2:60, a large glass slide containing a transparent map is shown, representing an area larger than the continental USA. With the Horizontal System Display (HSD), the aircraft's position could be shown in real time, with the map moving with relation to X-Y co-ordinates. At 5:20, the television relay system that serves as the heart of the unit is shown with its 1" tube capable of displaying 600 lines of resolution (slightly less than a home TV system). At 5:44 a slide rule is shown on the desk of an engineer who is prepping the HSD system. At 6:48, a pilot is shown flying with the use of the HSD system on board an F-86 Sabre. At 8:20, new ideas are shown for the HSD including using it to display sector scan radar, velocity data, terrain clearance, landing aids, and other information that would now (in modern times) be shown on a heads-up display.

At 1:10, yaks are seen being used as transport animals, and at 1:36 a small village is seen. The narrator notes that the country has a population at this time of 3 million (today's population is roughly double this figure). At 1:55, a Buddhist shrine is seen, and at 2:11 a traditional house. At 2:25, a yak is milked. At 2:40, yak dung is used to plaster a house. At 3:00, a yak skin sack is used to make yak butter. Butter tea is made at 3:55 in a churn. At 4:20, a woman is seen weaving cloth and taking care of the household. At 4:40, traditional Tibetan dress is seen, including earrings and a necklace. At 5:00, a man sticks out his tongue and shows his hands are empty of weapons, a traditional greeting. At 5:28 some of the challenges in transportation are described in a country without many roads. Horses are seen, and at 5:53 small boats and at 6:00, a long rope across a bridge used to ford a river. At 7:18, a monastery is shown and the role of the Dalai Lama is described. 1/3rd of the nation serve as priests. 

The historical era of Tibet from 1912 to 1951 followed the collapse of the Qing dynasty in 1912, and lasted until the incorporation of Tibet by the People's Republic of China. The Tibetan Ganden Phodrang regime was Protectorate of the Qing until 1912, when the Provisional Government of the Republic of China replaced the Qing dynasty as the government of China, and signed a treaty with the Qing government inheriting all territories of the previous dynasty into the new republic, giving Tibet the status of a "Protectorate with high levels of autonomy as it was Protectorate under the dynasty. At the same time, Tibet was also a British Protectorate.However, at the same time, several Tibetan representatives signed a treaty between Tibet and Mongolia proclaiming mutual recognition and their independence...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f28eb8ca-4818-406d-8b7f-a475528bc352/0cb63d70-4c44-4864-a580-e3a6f323ced5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vXdDsZDhDdQzHcC7dUssbo</video:player_loc><video:duration>540</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:41:22.727Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dGRDgurYD6EDg7vyp5efbv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ae676036-d23a-43d8-9421-3c602cdc4f95.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>UNITED STATES COAST GUARD SIKORSKY HELICOPTERS   SENTINELS OF THE SKY 33714</video:title><video:description>Made in the 1960s by Sikorsky, this promotional film shows the Coast Guard's HH-3F helicopters in action in a variety of rescue scenario. The film begins with a boating accident that resulted in a severe fire. At 4:45, a hunting accident is shown, with one hunter shot in the leg by another. At 5:17, the hunter fires a flare, and in minutes a USCG chopper appears for the rescue. At 7:23, a remote LORAN station and light house is seen so that choppers can fix their position at any time. At 7:55, buoys and shore markers that are serviced by USCG helicopters are seen. Helicopters are used to retrieve buoys that have become demoored. At 8:25, helicopters are seen monitoring deep sea fishing and poachers. A deep sea fishing vessel is spotted by an Hu-16 aircraft at 9:00. The Grumman HU-16 Albatross is a large twin–radial engine amphibious flying boat that was used by the United States Air Force (USAF), the U.S. Navy (USN) and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), primarily as a search and rescue aircraft. Originally designated as the SA-16 for the USAF and the JR2F-1 and UF-1 for the USN and USCG, it was redesignated as the HU-16 in 1962.

At 9:30, environmental pollution is seen on a beach, and USCG copters are shown enforcing environmental laws over an oil field where a spill is occurring. At 10:20, a sinking oil tanker is seen, and a test of a special rapid deployment system is seen that would allow rapid containment of an oil spill. At 11:30, USCG copters are seen responding in hurricanes, floods and tornado aftermath scenes. At 11;50, ships and oil tankers that are on fire and sinking are shown. At 12:00, the USCG Academy at New London is shown. 

The HH-3F was a variant of the Sikorsky S-61R, a twin-engine helicopter used in transport or search and rescue roles. A developed version of the S-61/SH-3 Sea King, the S-61R was also built under license by Agusta as the AS-61R.

PETERSBURG TRAVELOGUE FILM 53084</video:title><video:description>World Acquaintance Films presents “Cuban Holiday” — the first of three short travel films that once aired on ABC TV. Filmed in cooperation with the Cuban Tourism Commission, "Cuban Holiday" is a late 1940s black-and-white travelogue that touts Cuba as a popular vacation spot, particularly for US residents, as tranquil scenes from the island are shown. Remains of the Convent of San Francisco in Trinidad in central Cuba (mark 01:28) and other structures including modern hotels are shown as the narrator briefly delves into the town’s history, including the recruitment of men by Hernando Cortes. The film visits cathedrals and homes along the southern coastline, as well as a Atkins Garden, a botanical center maintained by Harvard University (mark 04:20) in Cienfuegos, before heading to the capital city of Havana (mark 05:12). We visit Havana Cathedral (which once held the remains of Christopher Columbus) and a monument in honor of the USS Maine (ACR-1), which sank in Havana Harbor in 1898. There are scenes from luxury hotels and apartment buildings along with roads designed with the idea that “motoring should be a form of recreation” (mark 07:27). Dancers perform a rumba (mark 08:08) and we see celebratory Cuban nightlife and parades before the film ends. 

At mark 12:34, this picture continues with “Margarita,” another 1940s-era travel film produced for the the government of Venezuela by the Hamilton Wright Organization. The film opens with beach scenes (mark 13:18) on Margarita Island, the largest island in the Venezuelan state of Nueva Esparta. A map pinpoints Margarita’s location (mark 13:48) as the narrator explains how residents cater to the tourist trade as a woman sews a custom-made hat for visitors. Men collect oysters in the bay (mark 15:20) and visitors are encouraged to dive for pearls, we are told, as a couple frolics in the water. The film takes the viewer to historic old forts (mark 17:18) before again returning to such leisurely pursuits as water skiin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f445df85-3d56-4b5f-89de-00f4ba9f825a/a14c37f4-8fbe-4d66-8025-6f1fd5a8c09c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/waveTdqwawoJMW1LFjZ3Tu</video:player_loc><video:duration>1735</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:43:44.870Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/o24MTxcCeUsreknk9SGtex</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6d56a8cd-fa11-489f-9f27-3ed592e01b22.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s PAN AM AIRLINES CLIPPER SERVICE PROMOTIONAL FILM  GUAM  MACAO  WAKE ISLAND 30054</video:title><video:description>This film is a fragment of a travelogue apparently made by Pan Am Airlines just prior to WWII, "High Road in the Sky". At this time Pan Am offered Clipper Service across the Pacific from San Francisco to Hong Kong, with several stops for refueling along the way. The film begins with footage of passengers taking a break to do some deep sea fishing at Wake Island. At 1:47, a small boat is used to sail out to a coral garden in the Wake lagoon.  At 6:45, Guam in the Marshall Islands is seen with its colonial charm and coconut trees. At 7:10, the American governor's palace is seen. At 7:39, the port of Macao aka Macau is shown with its broad streets, coolie powered cabs, and Portuguese inspired buildings and Chinese temples. At 9:00 the road to China is seen with various people carrying merchandise on their shoulders. At 9:29, firecrackers are seen being dried in the sun, and firework production is seen. At 10:30 a religious procession is seen complete with a lion faced dragon. At 11:10, Chinese junks are seen in the harbor at Macao. At 12:00, the film shows the new Pan Am flying boat or Flying Clipper above the China Sea, headed towards Hong Kong.

These 1949 Shell Oil produced educational films are one of a series of six that presents basic information about "How An Airplane Flies".  Two are presented here. The first  discusses the physical forces of air, atmospheric pressure, and how lift is created. The second (starting at 5:44) is entitled "Forces in Balance". Both films uses a series of simple experiments and demonstrations with household and laboratory equipment, as well as animation and live action footage, to demonstrate how the increased flow of air over the top of the wing causes lift. 

The film explains how airplanes fly by examining the behavior of air, which acts similarly to water. It introduces the concept of lift, the upward force that supports an aircraft, which is generated by the airflow over and under the wings. When a wing moves through air, the air flows faster over the curved top surface than the flatter underside, reducing pressure on top and creating lift. This principle is demonstrated using Venturi tubes, pressure gauges, and water flow models to visualize how faster airflow results in lower pressure. The angle of the wing, or angle of attack, also affects lift—greater angles increase lift up to a point, but beyond a certain angle (called the stalling angle), smooth airflow breaks down, lift decreases, and the aircraft can no longer stay aloft. In summary, flight depends on the wing's shape, angle, and mov0:40 – The video introduces the concept that airplanes fly through an "ocean of air," and that it's the air itself that keeps them aloft, making an understanding of air essential to understanding flight.1:00 – Air behaves similarly to water in resisting motion.

Made by the McDonnell Corporation (before it became McDonnell Douglas), THE RECORD BREAKING PHANTOM II presents the story of the F-4 Phantom,  a tandem two-seat, twin-engine, all-weather, long-range supersonic jet interceptor and fighter-bomber originally developed for the United States Navy. The aircraft first entered service in 1960 with the U.S. Navy. Proving highly adaptable, it was also adopted by the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force, and by the mid-1960s had become a major part of their respective air wings. The film begins with an overview of the F-4, including its ability to carry tremendous numbers of stores, an ability to operate from both WWII type aircraft carriers and super carriers. At 2:40 the film begins to look at the Phantom's assault on various aviation performance records. At 3:00, Project Top Flight which proved the airplane's incredible climbing ability, is shown from Edwards Air Force Base. Commander Lawrence Earl Flint, Jr., set a Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) World Record for Altitude to 30,040 meters (98,556 feet). This was just short of the arbitrary 100,000 feet (30,480 meters) that delineated the beginning of space at the time. Diving back through 70,000 feet (21,336 meters), Flint restarted the engines and flew back to Edwards. Other closed course flights are seen at 7:00 to establish speed records with the aircraft over the Salton Sea from Edwards AFB. The plane with Col. Thomas Miller at the controls flew at 1216 mph average, 400 mph faster than the previous record. Commander John F. Davis is seen at 7:40, maneuvering by radar over a tight 100 mile course achieved 1390 mph.

At 8:48, Sageburner is seen, designed to set new speed records at low altitudes. On May 18, (not shown in the film) the initial attempt ended in tragedy when Commander J. L. Felsman was killed when pitch dampener failure led to pilot-induced oscillations (PIO), causing his Phant...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/647add48-225c-4cde-81f4-eca89e1057e7/c2d338ff-ff2c-4365-90f4-3292e56e0438-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dpDtseNAAskHgA1NnjPhgH</video:player_loc><video:duration>774</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:48:29.986Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dNqq2afgNBpdoR72ngxCDh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/47f6556f-ec4d-48dc-b859-d3e9a9088296.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LAUNCH OF THE GREAT LAKES CARRIER  S.S. EDMUND FITZGERALD   JUNE 7, 1958  56474</video:title><video:description>This never-seen-before silent, color 8mm home movie film was shot of the launch of the doomed S.S.EDMUND FITZGERALD on June 7, 1958. The film shows the crowds of spectators at Great Lakes Engineering Works. More than 15,000 people attended Fitzgerald's christening and launch ceremony on June 7, 1958. But the event was plagued by misfortunes: When Elizabeth Fitzgerald, wife of Edmund Fitzgerald, tried to christen the ship by smashing a champagne bottle over the bow, it took her three attempts to break it. As you can see in the film, a delay of 36 minutes followed while the shipyard crew struggled to release the keel blocks. Upon sideways launch, the ship created a large wave that "doused" the spectators and then crashed into a pier before righting herself. One man watching the launching had a heart attack and later died. Other witnesses later said they swore the ship was "trying to climb right out of the water". 

SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in a Lake Superior storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29. When launched on June 7, 1958, she was the largest ship on North America's Great Lakes, and she remains the largest to have sunk there.

The film was produced at the Long Island studio of the Army Signal Corps by Warner Brothers for the U.S. Office for Emergency Management.

The film uses stock footage -- much of it pastoral images of old battlefields and monuments -- coupled with Tracy's stirring voice-over narrating the story of America's military history from the perspective of the personification of the American soldier. The film starts with Lexington and Concord "Where I was born" through the First World War, listing the U.S. military's achievement and urging young men to sign up. Some of the film's imagery is deeply touching for any American, including monuments at Valley Forge where George Washington's Army suffered, to snow-covered Yorktown where a victory that changed the world was forged. 

In addition to battlefields, the film includes images of railroads at 5:00, steamships at 15:14, the Panama Canal at 5:10, and more.

Written by  Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and Librarian of Congress Archibald MacLeish, the film was intended to help steel public resolve and held ensure both financial and physical support for the war effort. Like most of the other 6th War Loan films, this one criticizes home front complacency while contrasting the situation of civilians and war workers with that of soldiers, sailors and Marines fighting overseas. 

The film starts with images of a paperboy making his rounds and speaking to a neighbor who minimizes the war situation. "It won't be long ... it can't last much longer," the man says. From the town clock we dissolve at 4:10 to a Navy plane flying a mission somewhere in the darkness against a Japanese ship.  At 9:25, pilots from this mission who have been shot down lie in a life raft, trying to stay alive. They talk over the fate of their buddies who were shot down in previous battles and never returned. At 15:40, the film transitions back to small town America and our neighbor who is so complacent about the war. At his feet lies a newspaper thrown by the paper boy, with the headline that "one American plane fails to return". At 16:30 the Chief of Chaplains R.R. Workman gives a homily about the war and people's attitudes towards it. "The hardest blow to hit at the end of a fight is the last one, because it is the last blow."


During World War II MacLeish also served as director of the War Department's Office of Facts and Figures and as the assistant director of the Office of War Information. These jobs were heavily involved with propaganda, which was well-suited to MacLeish's talents; he had written quite a bit of politically motivated work in the previous decade. He spent a year as the Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs and a further year representing the U.S. at the creation of UNESCO. After this, he retired from public servi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/75796726-e7d9-4dcc-bae1-d3edd597525a/6a315e8b-dd07-4f3f-b9f2-226a482ad64d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/fvmVmEdk37VbhKtWFoKamo</video:player_loc><video:duration>1159</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:51:10.673Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9YJjkQ1MDcixq4cY9SZmUr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f8e60030-e62f-4502-a551-cf5fb37e3b6c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SHANGHAI  CHINA  1947 TRAVELOGUE FILM  JUST PRIOR TO COMMUNIST VICTORY  89594</video:title><video:description>This amazing 16mm film shows Shanghai, China as it appeared in the immediate post-WWII period, prior to the collapse of the nationalist Chinese government. The film was released in 1947 by Castle. At :20, the waterfront and cityscape are seen in this "city of 10 million". At :30, junks are seeing plying the Yangtze and nearby Suzhou Creek. At 1:30, men are seen moving barges with long poles. At 1:44, Western warships are noticeable in the harbor at Shanghai. On the docks manpower is used to move every conceivable item from oil drums to sacks of grain. At 2:30, traffic is seen in the bustling commercial district and an Army truck rolls by. Western tourists can be seen in the crowd at 2:46 on a bicycle / pedicab. At 2:54 other forms of transport are seen including carts of every description. At 3:20, men are seen making sandals and at 3:40, a man writes a letter on behalf of a client. At 4:00 a thieves market is shown, with money changing hands for all sorts of different items. At 5:00 money is exchanged for gold jewelry. At 5:35 traffic chokes the roads. At 5:34, a huge group of Chinese laborers are seen hauling a barge up the Suzhou Creek. More manual labor is seen at 6:30 with huge logs being moved. At 6:34 a movie theater is showing "Tarzan's Secret Treasure" (released 1941) and "Kismet" with Marlene Dietrich (released in 1944). At 6:57, traditional Chinese entertainment and some very exclusive nightclubs are shown. At 7:30, the plight of some of the masses is seen -- sleeping on the street (8:09) and waiting in long lines, and living in squalor, likely as a result of pressures brought on by the civil war. Wounded and refugees from the war are seen at the very end of the movie at 8:30, followed by scenes of its prosperous waterfront once again.

Miller for Lockheed, and narrated by radio and television personality George Fenneman, TABLE 210 is about the making of movies for the Department of Defense. The name of the film comes from a piece of language in most Department of Defense contracts in this era -- Table 210 -- which defines that work performed under the contract needs to be documented with motion pictures. Here, the creation of a filmic record of an experimental and highly classified Lockheed missile system is used as an example. (All the staff involved in the making of the film, have Secret clearance at a minimum.)

At 1:30, a writer is seen coming up with an outline script for a film. The outline is then discussed at1:43 by staff, and the art director begins working on a storyboard. Various factors have to be taken into account including the company's sales policy and goals, and the nature of the weapons system. Project engineering staff and military staff meet at 2:17 to discuss the motion picture.

At 2:27, photography begins on project activities. At 2:59, camera equipment is shown being tested. At 3:20, an early mainframe computer system is shown. At 3:30, a helicopter is seen retrieving a spent missile. Various other challenges are seen -- filming at sea for instance. Or filming missile launches that span thousands of miles. At 4:40 a tiny subject is seen -- a pair of wires -- while at 4:47 a large scale explosion is shown.

At 5:00 the optics section of Lockheed is shown with Fairchild, Wollensak and other cameras shown being maintained and prepared. Various high speed and specially ruggedized cameras are shown. At 5:30 a centrifuge test is conducted with an engineering camera that would record flight instrumentation. 

At 6:00, a lens is installed on a camera. Special lenses in use including one that can record four discrete areas at a time (most likely for an aircraft instrument panel). At 6:40 a camera pod that is attached to a missile is seen. At 7:00, a motion pi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3cacca4c-57c9-4aa6-81df-82c2a45e4f90/c2266fdd-e742-496a-98be-fbefc8ae33c5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8uyrJ6JCKFKqcBGaend1o5</video:player_loc><video:duration>1032</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:53:29.936Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2jQtsMCpLiMCHW4KGnRP31</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ae37bf15-e844-401d-9a72-fc72e31e09dc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. ARMY  25th INFANTRY DIVISION IN VIETNAM  1966-68 "READY TO STRIKE"  81964</video:title><video:description>This episode of "The Big Picture", the U.S. Army's long-running TV program, shows the exploits of the 25th Infantry Division in Vietnam. It dates to 1968. The film shows military as well as civil work, including nation building programs which it was hoped would stabilize South Vietnamese support against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese. At 2:00, the 25th Infantry Division, also known as "Tropic Lightning" is seen being welcomed by South Vietnamese. The unit is shown deploying in Huey helicopters at 2:30, and engaging in combat. At 03:00, the unit's HQ at the famed Schofield Barracks in Hawaii is shown. At 3:10, jungle fighting exercises in Hawaii are shown. At 3:48, deployment in December of 1966 is seen from Hawaii and deployed aboard a ship to Vung Tau, where the 2nd Brigade deployed and were greeted by General William Westmoreland. At 4:50 the unit moves towards the Cu Chi village area. At 5:24, the 3rd Brigade deploys to Pleiku in the central highlands of Vietnam, which would operate as the forward base for the division. This airlift was of the 3rd Brigade, known as Operation Blue Light, was the largest attempted to that time. At 6:30, operations against Viet Cong begin in earnest at Ban Me Thout with a month long sweep of the province. In a frustrating precursor of what was to come during the war, the VC withdrew in front of the division and evaded capture or combat. At 7:40, a battle casualty is shown as a result of small arms fire. At 8:15, food caches and medical supplies are shown captured in the field. 

At 8:40, armor elements at Cu Chi approach a former Michelin Rubber Plantation. At 9:44, a wounded soldier receives field treatment. At 9:55, troops find underground fortifications and the Tunnels of Cu Chi. At 10:23, in April 1966, the 1st Brigade lands in Vietnam and arrives in Cu Chi. At 11:00, a resettlement camp for refugees is set up. At 12:00, Operation Paul Revere takes place with a sweep near Plei Ku. 44, mortars are flown into the Ya Drang V...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0aba663c-ae8d-40f5-a407-a753165a3348/b3a7b033-8e31-4e89-9a39-f4472c58aceb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2jQtsMCpLiMCHW4KGnRP31</video:player_loc><video:duration>1734</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:54:48.458Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nRtUZu1skdTA521ABE1Mb6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/eff15390-650e-4155-97a0-0dbea00470b3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII FLIGHT TESTS OF XCG-16 CARGO GLIDER DESIGNED BY HAWLEY BOWLUS  28754</video:title><video:description>This fascinating, silent 16mm movie comes from the estate of William Hawley Bowlus (May 8, 1896 - August 27, 1967) or someone who was close to him.  Bowlus was a designer, engineer and builder of aircraft (especially gliders) and recreational vehicles in the 1930s and '40s.  Shown in this film is the plywood XCG-16a experimental military glider, which was ordered by the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1943 based on designs made by Bowlus in 1942. The glider was supposed to be able to fly at 200 miles per hour and carry a 4300 lb. howitzer and full gun crew, or a full squad of twenty soldiers. 

The test flights shown were in July of 1944. They likely took place in Orlando, Florida although it's possible they were filmed at either Rosamand or the Oxnard Flight Strip, later known as Oxnard Air Force Base and later Camarillo Airport. As you can see, the XCG-16 represented a radical departure from single fuselage designs and incorporated a twin boom, flying wing type design. The glider front wing opened like jaws with the bottom swinging down as a ramp resting on the ground. The glider could carry 42 troops or two howitzers. It had retractable landing gear, a wingspan of 91.8 feet, and weighed in at 9,500 pounds empty.

Roughly 8 months before this film was made the prototype aircraft was involved in a serious accident that killed several passengers including Richard Dupont the special assistant to General "Hap" Arnold. The cause of the accident was simple: weighted bags that had been placed on the aircraft to act as ballast shifted in flight, causing the airplane to go into a flat spin. 

The tests shown here likely represented a last ditch effort to save the Cargo Glider program. Apparently during the stint in Florida over 30 hours of flight time were put on the aircraft, and  50 successful landings were made. Pilots involved included the famed Northrop test pilot Johnny Meyers and Paul E. Tuntland. However while it showed some promise, the aircraft's lack of emergency exit...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b0f88f19-6524-4fd6-bfed-a30568ead45d/6d959dd1-19fc-4426-953c-5bf8208aecc9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nRtUZu1skdTA521ABE1Mb6</video:player_loc><video:duration>1224</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:55:14.089Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6CGrv5Yhk5X11sCS6cd7uP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/f9d2a240-1442-48a7-aa6c-b7235781188f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>VIETNAM WAR  HIROSHIMA DAY PROTEST  NEW YORK CITY  1971  56444</video:title><video:description>This raw footage apparently dates to August 6, 1971, when a Hiroshima Day anti-Vietnam War protest occurred in New York City. At 2:31 you will see the Manhattan District Office of the Internal Revenue Service. This was the site of an extensive line of picketers, many carrying signs denouncing the use of tax money to support the ongoing war in Vietnam.  At 2:50, a participant is interviewed regarding his refusal to pay taxes, and there is a brief discussion of the meaning of Nagasaki Day to the peace movement. At 3:20 another news segment begins featuring the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations discussing a crisis in East Pakistan. 

The Hiroshima Day marches took place on the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing on August 6, 1945. The first of these took place in 1958 and featured a tribute to a visiting “Hiroshima Maiden” (a woman who survived the Hiroshima bombing) Shigeko Nimoto and a march from Bryant Park to the UN. Starting in 1965, the Hiroshima Day marches—and the peace and antinuclear movements as a whole—began to focus more on the war in Vietnam. The slogan of the 1965 march, at 7th Ave. and 38th St., was “We must end the war in Vietnam before it becomes a world-wide nuclear conflict.”

We haven't been able to confirm it, but we believe this film includes Clarence Wilson, George "Meadowlark" Lemon, Charlie Hoxie, Roman Turmon, Andy Johnson, Woodrow "Woody" Sauldsberry, Carl Green, Leon Hillard, Willie Gardner, and others. The famed Washington Generals are also shown in the exhibition match that occurs about halfway through the film. 

The Harlem Globetrotters are an exhibition basketball team that combines athleticism, theater, and comedy. Over the years they have played more than 26,000 exhibition games in 122 countries and territories. The team's signature song is Brother Bones's whistled version of "Sweet Georgia Brown". Their mascot is an anthropomorphized globe named Globie. The team plays over 450 live events worldwide each year. The team is currently owned by Herschend Family Entertainment. The executive offices for the team are located in suburban Atlanta.

The Globetrotters originated in the south side of Chicago, Illinois, in the 1920s, where all the original players were raised. The Globetrotters began as the Savoy Big Five, one of the premier attractions of the Savoy Ballroom opened in November 1927, a basketball team of African-American players that played exhibitions before dances. In 1928, several players left the team in a dispute. That autumn, several of the players, led by Tommy Brookins, formed a team called the "Globe Trotters" and toured Southern Illinois that spring. Abe Saperstein became involved with the team as its manager and promoter. By 1929, Saperstein was touring Illinois and Iowa with his basketball team called the "New York Harlem Globe Trotters". Saperstein selected Harlem, New York, New York, as their home city since Harlem was considered the center of African-American culture at the time and an out-of-town team name would give the team more of a mystique.

The story behind this begins in November 1942 when producer E.M. Glucksman founded All American News of Chicago, Illinois. The company began releasing newsreels showcasing the lives of America's African Americans, including showing their contributions to the WWII war effort. The newsreels were shown only in African American movie theaters (and did not get shown in all of them -- the nation had 451 segregated theaters in 1943, and these newsreels were shown in 365 of them) . 

This fragment of one of the newsreels is typical of what audiences would have seen and enjoyed, with various segments including news, lifestyle and fashion, and sports. It begins with a look at a military field hospital in Burma in the Pacific Theater that is staffed entirely by African American doctors, lab technicians and dentists. African American officers are shown working taking x-rays, doing laboratory work, and operating. This is not altogether surprising considering that In the China-Burma-India Theater, 60 percent of the engineer units that built the Ledo Road from India to the connection with the Burma Road were African Americans. The segment ends with a plea to donate to the Red Cross and for blood donations. 

At 2:42, John G. Shackleford, a Cleveland attorney, is seen. He has just joined the new United States League of Negro Ballclubs as its president. This organization included teams in Pittsburgh, Detroit, Philadelphia and elsewhere. John Shackelford, born July 17th, 1905 in Tennessee, was a Negro league baseball player, manager and executive. The USLNB league operated from 1945-1946, but competition from already existing Negro leagues, as well as difficulties associated with wartime economics, ultimately caused it to fail. Shackelford returned to law thereafter.

The film is narrated by Frederick March and was directed by Guy Bolte with music by Jack Shaindlin. At :44, the steel furnaces of Gary, Indiana, Toledo, Ohio, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo and other cities are seen. At 1:40, the great fleet of lake carriers are seen transporting iron ore across the lakes in a "continuous procession" transporting 3 million tons of iron ore at a time. At 2:40, the Duluth Superior Harbor is seen. At 3:00, the Great Mesabi Iron Range is seen. Electric shovels are seen at the Oliver Iron Mining Co. loading 100,000 pounds of ore on individual railroad cars. At 4:15, the railroad moves the iron ore to the ore docks, carrying 8.5 million pounds of ore in one load. At 5:20, an entire lake carrier is loaded by gravity feed in 3 hours. At 5:56 ship controls aboard the SS Charles M. Schwab are seen as the lake carrier gets underway. At 7:00 some heavy weather is seen on the Great Lakes and the "winning of the Battle of the Great Lakes" is described as being as important as the "Battle of the Atlantic." At 7:40 the Schwab enters the St. Mary's river system and the Soo Locks to leave Lake Superior. At 8:30 the steel mills are seen producing the "sword of victory". 

Lake freighters, or lakers, are bulk carrier vessels that ply the Great Lakes of North America. These vessels are traditionally called boats, although classified as ships.

Lakers carry bulk cargoes of materials such as limestone, iron ore, grain, coal or salt from the mines and fields to the populous industrial areas down the lakes. The 63 commercial ports handled 173 million tons of cargo in 2006. Because of winter ice on the lakes, the navigation season is not usually year-round. The Soo Locks and Welland Canal close from mid-January to late March, when most boats are laid up for mai...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7ec8a087-ea70-4c49-ae84-1df4486424b7/4b88c48e-b487-4bd6-b782-d791ce562bff-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/gE35QpRPAYJrJW7JUe3ehB</video:player_loc><video:duration>555</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T18:58:40.810Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9ZDitkHYEsbwjBtqRsGYNN</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b89f2e18-a0c9-4d8f-9de8-fc7de015a6b9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1928 HOME MOVIES  CRUISING OFF CONNECTICUT &amp; LONG ISLAND NEW YORK  33534</video:title><video:description>This extraordinary, silent 16mm home movie shows a trip by private yacht off Massachusetts, New York / Long Island, Rhode Island and Connecticut in 1928, and includes images of the Coast Guard gunboat No. 100, sailboat races, other vessels, and the crew of the yacht making the trip. At :49 the Norwalk Lighthouse is seen, most likely the Peck Ledge Light in Connecticut. At 1:18 Montauk Harbor, Long Island is seen. At 2:30 Block Island, Rhode Island and a sword-fishing boat is seen. At 4:00, Martha's Vineyard and Oak Bluffs is seen with "able seaman extraordinary" Gardner Pratt dropping the anchor. (We're not sure but this Gardner Pratt may be the one who was locally known as the "Mayor of Bridgeport" later in life for his affiliation with that town.) At 5:30, Nantucket is seen with the skipper taking a swim.

At 6:30, the Rainbow Fleet of racing sailboats is seen. At 8:00, an airplane that flies between Nantucket to Boston is seen. The cost was apparently $50, roughly $700 in today's dollars. At 10:30 the yacht cruises off Wood's Hole. At 13:40, a "quarter of a million" yacht intended for use in the 1928 NYC Regatta is shown at Marblehead.

At 14:00, the first USS Maury (DD-100) is seen. This was a Wickes-class destroyer in the United States Navy during World War I and the years following. She was named in honor of Matthew Fontaine Maury.  Struck from the Naval Register 22 October, she was sold 17 January 1931 to Boston Iron &amp; Metal Company, Baltimore, Maryland, and scrapped 1 May 1934.

The yacht in the film belonged to Irving C. Jennings of the Nash Machine Pump Co.  Jennings, who is seen around 25 seconds, graduated from New York University in 1906 and received a master's degree there the following year. He joined Nash in 1908 and was chief engineer, general manager and vice president before becoming president in 1923 and chairman in 1958. In 1955 Mr. Jennings received a centennial award from the N.Y.U. College of Engineering.

It features a soundtrack performed by the Pensacola Naval Air Station Band and a score by John Fluck and Thomas Carlisle. The film contains footage at 2:47 of the F-4 Phantom aboard the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga (CV-60). At 6:00, Naval Air Station Pensacola is shown with the Blue Angels hangar and headquarters. The Blues' famous maintenance team is shown at 6:15. At 7:30, an air show is seen with an introduction by Lt. J.D. Davis. This likely means that the 1971 team is seen throughout. If so it included the following members: 1971 Team: LT Dick Schram, Public Affairs Officer. LT Bill Switzer, Solo #6.LT Jim Maslowski, Slot #4. CAPT Kevin O'Mara USMC, Right Wing #2. CDR Harley Hall #1. LT Bill Beardsley Left Wing #3. LT Skip Umstead Lead Solo #5. LCDR J.D. Davis, Narrator #7.  At 9:30, 36" clearance is shown by the slot pilot to the canopy of another aircraft. 

The Blues transitioned to the two-seat McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II in 1969, nearly always keeping the back seat empty for flight demonstrations. The Phantom was the only plane to be flown by both the "Blues" and the United States Air Force Thunderbirds. That year they also upgraded to the Lockheed C-121 Super Constellation for logistics. In December 1974 the Navy Flight Demonstration Team downsized to the subsonic Douglas A-4F Skyhawk II and was reorganized into the Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron. 

The Blue Angels is the United States Navy's flight demonstration squadron, with aviators from the Navy and Marines. The Blue Angels team was formed in 1946, making it the second oldest formal flying aerobatic team (under the same name) in the world, after the French Patrouille de France formed in 1931. The Blue Angels' six demonstration pilots currently fly the McDonn...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8c06030b-7025-4074-a464-b0faa5c4f724/caf5c042-a369-4793-b5a9-1b2631602d90-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ihRUqC9Z1L4fAB1gQBQ9NG</video:player_loc><video:duration>853</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T19:04:13.006Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ikiiWGouQSeb6BH2qAFFku</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e17ceff2-3087-459c-bc97-43deda7b21c5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CAIRO EGYPT &amp; LUXOR  1940s TRAVELOGUE MOVIE  GREAT PYRAMID  KING TUT 85984</video:title><video:description>Made by Castle Films, "Land of the Pyramids" shows views of Egypt and Cairo as it appeared in the 1940s when it was a "shining example of 20th Century progress." The film opens with a stunning image --  a modern airliner flying past the Great Pyramid. At 1:00 modern Cairo is shown with its train station. A long camel train brings goods into the city. At 1:40 there are street scenes in Cairo, and a policeman directs traffic. At 1:50 the entrance and interior scenes of the famed Shepheard's Hotel is seen. Shepheard's Hotel was the leading hotel in Cairo and one of the most celebrated hotels in the world from the middle of the 19th century until it was burned down in 1952 in the Cairo Fire. Five years after the original hotel was destroyed, a new one was built nearby and was named the Shepheard Hotel.

At 2:40, the film shows the recovered treasures from the tomb of King Tut or King Tutankhamun at the Egyptian Museum. Sarcophagus and coffins are shown, as well as a perfume vase made of alabaster.  Tutankhamun was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, during the period of Egyptian history known as the New Kingdom or sometimes the New Empire Period. He has, since his discovery, been colloquially referred to as King Tut. 

At 3:28, more street scenes are seen. Stone masons are shown repairing buildings, and an electric trolley car is shown. At 4:00, the pyramids are seen through the trolley windows and a Muslim woman is shown riding the trolley, adjusting the prayer wheel on her nose. 

At 4:30, a camel caravan moves through the desert. At 4:55, Luxor is seen with a 4,000 year old mummy wrapped in tattered linen removed from an archaeological site. At 5:10, excavation of a tomb is seen. Scenes of ancient temples and tombs in the Valley of The Kings are shown at 5:40.

Built by Grumman Aerospace, Ben Franklin was a manned underwater submersible built in 1968. It was the brainchild of explorer and inventor Jacques Piccard who named the vessel after Franklin because he was the first person to chart the Gulf Stream. The research vessel was designed to house a six-man crew for up to 30 days of oceanographic study in the depths of the Gulf Stream. NASA became involved, seeing this as an opportunity to study the effects of long-term, continuous close confinement, a useful simulation of long space flights.

The Ben Franklin was built between 1966 and 1968 at the Giovanola fabrication plant in Monthey, Switzerland by Piccard and the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation headed by Donald B Terrana, then disassembled and shipped to Florida. The vessel is the first submarine to be built to American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) standards. With a design crush depth of 4,000 feet (1,200 m), it was designed to drift along at neutral buoyancy at depths between 600 and 2,000 feet (180 and 610 metres). The 130-ton ship has four external electric propulsion pods, primarily used for altitude trimming. It is powered by tons of lead batteries stored outside the hull. Its length is 48 feet 9 inches (14.86 m), with a beam of 21 feet 6 inches (6.55 m) and a height of 20 feet (6.1 m). Piccard insisted on 29 observation portholes, despite the objections of engineers over the inclusion of potentially fatal weak points.

The vessel began its voyage on July 14, 1969 -- two days before Apollo launched -- off Palm Beach, Florida (where the Gulf Stream has its fastest point), with Piccard as the mission leader and with NASA observer Chester "Chet" May on board. The sub descended to 1,000 feet off of Riviera Beach, Florida and drifted 1,400 miles north with the current for more than four weeks.

Intended to deliver supplies to troops in combat, it was successfully tested, but for various reasons failed to go into production.

The history of this missile is interesting, Inspired by the use of artillery shells to resupply surrounded troops during the Battle of the Bulge (and probably also by air-dropped containers used by both sides in WWII), a contract for the development of a cargo missile was awarded to Convair in 1958 by the U.S. Army.Developed by a team led by Bill Chana, the missile was capable of delivering 50 pounds (23 kg) of cargo over a distance of approximately 8 miles (13 km); once the rocket motor burned out, a parachute was deployed to deliver the cargo. A portable, mortar-like launcher was used; it allowed for a three-man team to transport and fire the missile; Lobber was described as being able to reliably hit a target "within the length of a football field" and was expected to cost less than $1,000 USD per round. It was proposed that modular cargo sections be pre-packaged with supplies, with nose and tail sections attached to the needed section just before launch.

As the film shows, the first test launch took place in December 1958 at Camp Irwin in California, and the system worked well although the parachute failed to deploy properly. Additional flight testing proved highly successful, and Convair proposed mortar variants with explosive, chemical, and nuclear warheads; the United States Marine Corps also considered adopting the missile, and it was also proposed to develop a variant for anti-submarine warfare usage by the United States Navy. Larger variants were also proposed, as well as civilian usage for firefighting.

Chadwick was an American swimmer known for long-distance open water swimming. She was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions, setting a time record each time. She was also the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, the Straits of Gibraltar, the Bosporus (one way), and the Dardanelles (round trip).

She was born in San Diego on November 8, 1918. Her parents were Richard Chadwick, a police officer, and Mary Lacko, a homemaker who later operated a San Diego restaurant. Chadwick grew up in the Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego and graduated from Point Loma Junior-Senior High School in 1936. She attended San Diego State College and studied at several law schools and a business college. She was married and divorced twice, and had no children.

Chadwick entered swimming competitions from a young age, scoring her first win the age of ten, but she realized she preferred ocean events rather than pool swims. At the age of 10 she became the youngest person to swim across the mouth of San Diego Bay. Starting at age eleven she competed in rough water swims, winning an annual 2.5-mile race in the ocean off La Jolla 10 times in 18 years. She swam in Southern California ocean races as an amateur for several decades, but had her heart set on swimming the English Channel. In 1950 she attempted to enter a 1950 Channel-swimming contest sponsored by the Daily Mail, but was refused for lack of a significant reputation. She determined to try at her own expense, failing in July after 14 hours in the water, but succeeding in August in her best-known contribution to swimming history.

On October 12, 1950, at the age of 31, she crossed the English Channel from France to England in 13 hours and 20 minutes, breaking the then-current women's record held by American swimmer Gertrude Ederle.

"Nautilus Arctic Passage" features the Cold War operation known as 'Operation Sunshine'; a scientific expedition conducted by the US Navy in the summer of 1958. A crew of 100 piloted the world's first nuclear submarine USS Nautilus (SSN-571) to the North Pole. As a result of, and after this expedition, Soviet and American submarines would vie for control over strategically critical Polar regions. Sperry Autotechnics (:55); the producer of the film, created the top secret inertial guidance system allowing the nautilus to navigate below the surface and without detection. The mission would be completed successfully on August 3rd, 1958. It aimed to prove the advancements of the technology of the USS Nautilus. 

The film opens with images over icy Atlantic waters (:11). The USS Nautilus swims below undetected. Crew members (:35) operate gears 400 feet below the North Pole. Scenes flick to Pearl Harbor (1:00) on June 22nd, 1958. Hawaiian girls spin (1:14). The Nautilus surfaces (1:28). The announced destination was to be the equator; the actual destination was the arctic. The submarine hits thick ice sheets (1:48) on August 19th, 1957 leaving Groton. The commanding officer makes the call to wait at Pearl Harbor (2:14). Commander William Anderson and crew check equipment and routes (2:26). The navigator decides to fly up and look at the topside (2:33) of ice sheets. Images capture heavy ice pushing farther north (2:51). On July 22nd, 1958 the mission begins (3:11). Top speeds and operating depths (4:00) are discussed. Nautilus moves across the Bearing Straight for the Arctic Circle (4:41). The chef preps up meals (4:58).

This 1935 silent 16mm home movie shows views of Chicago including the downtown. At :54, the scene shifts to Chicago Municipal Airport and the American Airlines terminal.  The decade was marked by strands of a lingering gangster era and economic hardships from the Great Depression which in spite of it’s weight would fuel a thriving jazz and blues culture. The World’s Fair; ‘A Century of Progress’ was in it’s second year and the Cub’s were on a 21 game winning streak. It includes shots of Chicago’s historic skyline showcasing a brutal blend of art deco, Gothic and streamline moderne architecture. Landmarks of major contribution to Chicago’s cultural fabric include the Chicago River, Tribune Tower, Wrigley Building and Chicago’s Municipal Airport. It continues to the American Airlines terminal at the Municipal Airport for a flight aboard a Douglas DC-2. Footage features early aviation history makers operating for American including the Vultee V-1, Douglas DC-2 and the Curtiss T-32 Condor. It features a turning point in aviation history as the industry shifted from single engine crafts towards the twin enforced by regulations set by the Bureau of Air Commerce in 1936; one year following the film’s creation.

00:00 The Agfa logo (:10) indicates that the film was shot on film stock made by the German photographic company known ‘Agfa.’ Afga was an emerging competitor of color film in the 1930’s. Footage opens with the Tribune Tower (:13), Wrigley Building, Carbide and Carbon Building and the London Guarantee Building. The shot includes three of the four historic skyscrapers of the 1920’s near the Michigan Avenue Bridge over the Chicago River.

This episode opens with a look at “The Roosevelt Family” (mark 00:30), with a visit to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, and their family in 1932, and follows FDR through his 1933 inauguration (mark 01:05) and leisure time spent on the water — one of his favorite pastimes. We see the 1937 wedding of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jr. to socialite Ethel du Pont (mark 02:40) and recall the military service of Elliott Roosevelt during World War II as well as FDR Jr., who was awarded a Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart during the war. A frail FDR is shown at Yalta Conference, and at mark 04:22 we see his flag-draped casket being escorted to his final resting place. An early 1920s “Lighthouse Wedding” is revisited at mark 05:07, as are personalities from 1922 (mark 05:55) including entertainers visiting WWI veterans at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, DC, and actor Raymond Hitchcock. A fire that destroyed a Massachusetts lodge in 1922 is shown starting at mark 07:22, followed by an early 1920’s “Railroad Bath” at mark 08:00 — an elaborate train-washing system in Paris. Aviation circa 1923 is shown beginning at mark 08:37 with dramatic scenes of famed wing walker Ivan Unger, followed by the 1921 fashion scene (mark 10:05) and a US Navy rowing race from that same year (mark 11:07).

The start of the film shows a Ford TriMotor in operation. The sign at 1:53 says that this is the "Remrand", an airplane that was owned by Remington Rand and tail #NC1780, built in 1927.  It's unclear who was flying on the airplane, but it definitely looks like an inaugural flight of some kind. This 4-AT-11 airplane flew for both Safety Airlines, later reorganized as New York Safety Airlines. At 4:15 there is footage over Manhattan including in-flight shots of the plane's engine. 

At 5:54, a second home movie is spliced on. This shows the wreck of a biplane, tail #NC 5480, a Waco GXE.  We haven't been able to find information about this aircraft but according to the canister it was flown by aviatrix Ruth Nichols. The aircraft was participating in the 1928 Chicago National Air Races which you will get a glimpse of starting at 7 minutes. At 7:04 a Waco NC604N that won the Ford Tour Ford Reliability Tour of 1929 is seen, flown by John Livingtson. At 7:15 a merry go round is shown. Flappers are briefly seen looking at airplanes.  At 7:52 a gyrocopter is seen flying over the air show.

The film begins aboard an unknown ship, one operated by the Grace Line (probably S.S. Santa Paula based on the rear of the ship seen at 11:58 but otherwise possibly S.S. Santa Rosa, S.S. Santa Ana, or S.S. Santa Teresa).  At 1:19 the ship enters the harbor of an unknown Caribbean island, with a large fortress visible atop a mountain. At 1:50 local men and children in canoes vie for coins dropped by ship passengers. At 2:50 a city is seen. At 4:29, the ship enters the Panama Canal on the Atlantic side. At 5:11 a large dredge is seen at work on a barge. At 7:40, some of the locks are seen. At 7:44, passengers cavort in the ship's swimming pool. At 8:40, what might be Panama City is seen. At 11:01, passengers disembark via a primitive lift, you can see "Grace Line" on the chair. At 11:47, the ship is seen from the dock with its distinctive green funnels. 

SS Santa Rosa (later SS Athinai) was a passenger and cargo ocean liner built for the Grace Line. She was one of four sister ships (the others being Santa Elena, Santa Lucia and Santa Paula) ordered in 1930 from the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Company of Kearny, NJ. Her regular route included inter-coastal service between the east coast and the west coast of the USA via the Caribbean and the Panama Canal. She was the second of ultimately three vessels to bear the name Santa Rosa for the Grace Line. At 12:09 passengers are seen aboard small railway cars for a narrow gauge trip into the mountains. It's unclear where this part of the film was shot, but probably the Dominican Republic based on the E.G.E. sign at the hydroelectric powerplant seen at 13:07.  (Could also still be Panama however). At 13:56 men on horseback are seen, and people eager to sell their wares to the visitors.

This portrait supposedly shows the 1976 plebe year, but also includes footage from later classes in an attempt to show that the Academy had becoming sexually integrated.  

The United States Naval Academy (also known as USNA, Annapolis, or simply Navy) is a four-year coeducational federal service academy in Annapolis, Maryland, United States. Established on 10 October 1845, under Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft, it is the second oldest of the United States' five service academies, and educates officers for commissioning primarily into the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. The 338-acre (137 ha) campus is located on the former grounds of Fort Severn at the confluence of the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay in Anne Arundel County, 33 miles (53 km) east of Washington, D.C. and 26 miles (42 km) southeast of Baltimore. The entire campus is a National Historic Landmark and home to many historic sites, buildings, and monuments. It replaced Philadelphia Naval Asylum, in Philadelphia, that served as the first United States Naval Academy from 1838 to 1845 when the Naval Academy formed in Annapolis.

Candidates for admission generally must both apply directly to the academy and receive a nomination, usually from a Member of Congress. Students are officers-in-training and are referred to as midshipmen. Tuition for midshipmen is fully funded by the Navy in exchange for an active duty service obligation upon graduation. Approximately 1,200 "plebes" (an abbreviation of the Ancient Roman word plebeian) enter the Academy each summer for the rigorous Plebe Summer, but only about 1,000 midshipmen graduate. Graduates are usually commissioned as ensigns in the Navy or second lieutenants in the Marine Corps, but a small number can also be cross-commissioned as officers in other U.S. services, and the services of allied nations.

The film starts out by mentioning the success of the Fairchild C-82 Packet cargo aircraft, and briefly shows that airplane at the 1:30 mark, before starting to focus on the Gunner. The film was directed by Robert Elwyn and produced by Gordon Knox and his Princeton Film Center. The film details the building of the plane using modern techniques including veneer sheets of wood as shown at 5:20, which are later coated with rubber and glue that is then autoclaved at 6:10. 

The process, known as Duramold, is identical to that used with the famed H-4 Hercules "Spruce Goose" aircraft. Duramold is a composite material process developed by Virginius E. Clark. Birch plies are impregnated with phenolic resin, such as Haskelite and laminated together in a mold under heat (280 °F, 138 °C) and pressure for use as a lightweight structural material. Similar to plywood, Duramold and other lightweight composite materials were considered critical during periods of material shortage in World War II, replacing scarce materials like aluminum alloys and steel.

Metal working on the Ranger 12 engines is also shown, with many modern procedures utilized. At 13:30, aluminum fins are shown bonded to steel cylinder fins using the Alfin Process. 

The Fairchild AT-21 was an American World War II specialized bomber crew trainer, intended to train crews in the use of power gun turrets or a gun on a flexible mount, as well as learn to function as a member of a crew. It had a brief career as a training aircraft before modified bombers took over this role.

The United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) laid out a specification for a specialized bomber trainer, ordering two prototypes from Fairchild Aircraft.

Narrated by Lowell Thomas, this piece opens with a title card (mark 01:00) explaining how Martin Johnson “has photographed the last of his beloved jungles (in Borneo) — filmed the pictorial climax of a great career that led him through the dark, mysterious byways of the unknown world.”  (Martin Johnson died in 1937). From there, Thomas details Johnson’s life and search for adventure as scenes of the couple in the wild appear on screen. At mark 02:20, Thomas explains how Martin, who once said he always felt safest in the wild, died when the twin-engine Boeing 247D in which he was a passenger crashed shortly after takeoff in California. “But he left behind this, his greatest film,” says Thomas. He explains the route the couple took as we see images of their plane in flight and an aerial view of British North Borneo’s capital (mark 04:00) on their way to the “deepest and darkest jungle of all.” Scenes of meetings with natives fascinated by the Johnsons begin at mark 05:30 and we learn of Borneo’s poisonous “flying snakes” (mark 06:22) as the couple make their way through the jungle. We see various residents of the Borneo including the proboscis monkey (mark 08:55) and the tree-climbing fish as the expedition makes its way down the river and the film comes to an abrupt end. 

British Borneo comprised the four northern parts of the island of Borneo, which are now Brunei, Labuan, Sabah, and Sarawak. During the British colonial rule until 1963, Sarawak, Labuan and Sabah known as: Kingdom of Sarawak (1841–1946) – Crown Colony of Sarawak (1946–1963) (now Sarawak), Crown Colony of Labuan (1848–1946) (now Labuan) and North Borneo (1881–1946) – Crown Colony of North Borneo (1946–1963) (now Sabah).

At :55 seconds you will see the wreck of the RMS Queen Elizabeth,  once a grand sovereign of the seas but by this time reduced to a charred and sunken wreck. The story on this derelict can be traced back to November of 1968, when the luxury liner crossed the Atlantic for the last time and was sold to a group of Philadelphia businessmen. Their plan was to turn the ship into a tourist attraction in Florida similar to the one created in Long Beach with RMS Queen Mary. However after only two years the ship was deemed a fire hazard. Hong Kong businessman Tung Chao Yung purchased the RMS Queen Elizabeth at auction in 1970 with plans to turn it into a floating university called the "Seawise University". 

The ship arrived in Hong Kong Harbor to be renovated, and its original interiors were removed. Shortly before it was to be completed however, a fire broke out and the ship was completely destroyed. (Tung Chao Yung had insured the ship for $8 million and had bought it for less than half of that, leading some to believe it was an insurance scam. But Yung was never charged with fraud.) 

The wreck remained in Hong Kong Harbor for a number of years and became a tourist attraction, as can be seen in this film. It finally was cleared in the late 1990s, although the area where the wreck lies remains a hazard to navigation.

Ironically, the wreck of the QE featured as the MI6 Headquarters in the James Bond film, “The Man with the Golden Gun”. The wreck of the Queen Elizabeth was the largest passenger ship to sink up until the Costa Concordia disaster in 2012. 

RMS Queen Elizabeth was an ocean liner operated by the Cunard Line. With her sister ship Queen Mary she provided luxury liner service between Southampton in the United Kingdom and New York City in the United States, via Cherbourg in France. She was also contracted for over 20 years to carry the Royal Mail thus enabling her to carry the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/98b928f5-303d-408f-a19f-c178246055f0/41eb185d-562c-4caf-b833-d6853fa6cda3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jRPpXMewSd2x887V9CYZ8o</video:player_loc><video:duration>77</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T19:39:02.930Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aUf1B1U1DhmsRmNBgPG9DQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ee77483f-a411-4fad-809e-85bdb139862d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"FLORIDA SEAFARE" 1960s FLORIDA FISHING &amp; SEAFOOD INDUSTRY PROMOTIONAL FILM  51434</video:title><video:description>Made in the late 1960s or early 1970s, "Florida Seafare" shows Florida's fishing industry on the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts. It  includes coverage of commercial fishing boats, oystermen, crabbing, shrimping and seine net fishing for mullet. It also shows the 6th Annual Apalachicola Seafood Festival in 1969. The Florida Seafood Festival is a two day event annually drawing tens of thousands of visitors to the historic town of Apalachicola in scenic Franklin County. The Festival is held at the mouth of the Apalachicola river under the shady oaks of Apalachicola’s Battery Park. The festival features delicious seafood, arts and crafts exhibits, seafood related events, Musical Entertainment. Some of the notable events include Oyster Eating and Oyster Shucking contest, Blue Crab Races, Photo Contest, Parade, 5k Redfish Run, The Blessing of the Fleet, History of the Festival Exhibit and Tonging For Treasure.  This film was produced by Barton Films for the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Florida Department of Natural Resources and National Marine Fisheries. 

This film is a colorful and musical celebration of Florida’s seafood culture, blending tradition, sustainability, and community spirit. It showcases various fishing and harvesting methods, from tonging oysters and dredging scallops to trapping stone crabs and lobsters. The narrative weaves through festive scenes like crab races, fish fries, and community gatherings, emphasizing Florida’s strong connection to the sea. It also highlights conservation efforts such as releasing female crabs and using aquaculture to farm shrimp sustainably. Modern innovations, like underwater cameras, help expand the seafood industry while maintaining ecological balance. Throughout, the tone remains joyful and reverent, underscoring the importance of preserving Florida’s natural bounty for future generations.

There are a few strains of “My Old Kentucky Home” before we’re told how cotton is the most important crop grown in the United States (mark 00:40) and the most widely used fiber in the world. It takes about 200 days for cotton to ripen following planting, we learn, as the camera pans fields and provides up close shots of the white tufts. Stooped workers hand-pick cotton (mark 01:22) as we are told more of its importance as a crop. “Hand-picked cotton is cleaner and brings the highest prices,” says the narrator (mark 02:23). After weighing the the 70-pound bags of cotton it is carried up a ladder and tossed into a trailer. At mark 03:25, lines of mechanical pickers are shown making their ways through fields, gathering cotton at a rate 50 times faster than humans, freeing people to take others manufacturing jobs. Come mark 05:00 the viewer learns of the cotton gin and the process involved in separating seeds from the lint. A telescoping pipe literally sucks the cotton from trailers (mark 05:48) into the gin machinery, where saws begin the separation process, which is shown in slow-motion photography. The line is shown being pressed into 500-pound bales (mark 06:40), wrapped, and tagged, before being taken to a warehouse. Following an inspection, the bales are graded and offered for sale. As workers are shown loading cotton bales onto boxcars (mark 09:10) for transport across the United States, the narrator explains that cotton is also sold to other countries in high-density bales, which later are shown being placed on ships.

It's unclear which airport that was shot at -- the canister it came in said "Willow Run" -- but on 25 May 1958 this same aircraft skidded off the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York. Probably this is footage of that incident although as you can see, the real cause of the emergency was that the landing gear failed to go down into position. That same year Capital lost Flight 67 in a snowstorm at Freeland, Michigan. In this incident it appears everyone escaped the aircraft uninjured. 

The aircraft was a V.745D series Viscount originally built for Capital that entered service in 1956; later in life it became a private plane and was owned by Ray Charles before being scrapped in 1993. 

Capital Airlines was an airline serving the eastern, southern, southeastern, and midwestern United States. Capital's headquarters were located at Washington National Airport (now Reagan Airport) across the Potomac river from Washington, D.C. where crew training and aircraft overhauls were also accomplished.[1] In the 1950s Capital was the fifth largest United States domestic carrier by passenger count (and sometimes by passenger-miles) after the Big Four air carriers (American, United, TWA, and Eastern).Capital merged with United Airlines in 1961.

The context of the film is provided in the early going, with headlines indicating that the Japanese have engaged in chemical warfare in Asia, and cautioning that the threat of gas warfare is a clear and present danger.

As the narrator says at 2:47, the best defense is to have an airtight shelter in one's house. Because most gases tend to be heavier than air and dwell on the ground, the second best place to be (aside from a shelter) is upstairs in a multi-story house or building. At 3:25, a woman seals up her home's windows and her husband seals the chimney against gas incursion. At 3:56, liquid gas is seen on the ground which can be neutralized through decontamination procedures as shown at 4:10. Protective clothing must be  worn. At 4:40 a sign is seen stating that mustard gas is present. At 4:50, affected grass is neutralized by men in hazard suits. At 5:50 a clock ticks down the seconds, emphasizing that every second you are exposed to gas vapors is dangerous. A man strips at 6:00 to remove contaminated clothing so that he does not affect his family. At 6:30, the man blots gas off his body using fabric or bandages. At 7:00, household bleach is shown being used to neutralize liquid gas that has hit the skin. Hands are also rinsed with bleach. At 7:40, baking soda is seen being placed into a quart of water to use for decontamination and to irrigate affected eyes. At 8:20, a man's eyes are irrigated with baking soda water in an attempt to save his sight. At 8:40, the man takes a shower to neutralize the gas using plenty of soap, and at 9:15 he irrigates his nose as well. A woman takes a shower at 9:50 to remove traces of gas. At 10:00, a man who has been exposed to gas notices that fact because his cigarette tastes funny. At 10:30, the man attempts to relax and get attention.

“Across the Sahara” is an early 1930’s travelogue. It takes viewers to a sliver screen dream of desert sands and Arabian culture. Footage was captured on a 16 mm. Motorized vehicles tour across the Northern Sahara Desert to El Oued, Constantine and the Constantine Bridge; the El-Kantara. During the 1930’s Algeria was under French colonial rule. The French suppressed Islam and Arabic education. Constantine has a population of about 448,374 making it the third largest city in the country following Algiers and Oran. Constantine is often referred to as the “City of Bridges” due to its variety of picturesque bridges. In 2015, Constantine was labeled the Arab Capital of Culture. The film swings in with 1930’s motorized all-terrain vehicles rolling over sand (:09). Small shrubs dot the desert (:14). A vehicle pulls up over a steep incline (:39) as one of the explorers follows close behind. Ancient city dwellings of El Oued fill the screen (1:06). El Oued is an oasis town fueled with water via an underground river. Inhabitants of the town belong to the Teroud tribe. A mother and small child head for the covered jeep (1:17). Camels plod forward over sand (1:22); dipping necks for light grazing. The view runs over sparse grass and sands (1:51). Western dressed travelers take a pit stop (2:30). Arabic locals appear in traditional attire with heads covered by the keffiyeh (2:40). Camels cart twigs; light timber over their backs (2:48). Three locals move outside the city with a small donkey (3:14). The group stops for a reprieve (3:32). Lush foliage erupts in the sandy desert (3:43); making this area an oasis. Dwellings of the ancient city of El...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/efc40ec7-ebc3-407e-b541-c749bbcb2b63/b0a1150d-cfaa-4a83-8274-c08096d73159-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vBdZmpNkgTPD7e2aC3PjoF</video:player_loc><video:duration>883</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T19:48:04.421Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fH1mwBihDc3qKBdYRvWKRv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2afd2ade-8511-4311-a563-2a8aac68cd50.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BORG WARNER INGERSOLL DISC &amp; LTV AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLES HEAVY EQUIPMENT 75th ANNIVERSARY NEWSREEL 50904</video:title><video:description>Made to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Ingersoll Corporation, this newsreel shows some of the company's products including military ones. First, the famed Ingersoll Disc used in agriculture and construction around the world is seen. At 1:22, a bulldozer is seen clearing land using the discs, and at 2:00 they are shown plowing under sugar cane stubble. At 2:40, the Lark an amphibious vehicle similar to a DUKW, is shown. Ingersoll worked for 17 years in the field of amphibious vehicles. The LTV-3 landing track vehicle amphibian is seen at 3:30, including an LVT-5 shown at 3:48, and the LVT-H6 with a howitzer. At 4:43 the Nike Hercules is seen, which Ingersoll provides boosters and nozzles for. 

The Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT) is an amphibious warfare vehicle and amphibious landing craft, introduced by the United States Navy. The United States Marine Corps, United States Army, and Canadian and British armies used several LVT models during World War II.

Originally intended solely as cargo carriers for ship to shore operations, they evolved into assault troop and fire support vehicles. The types were known as amphtrack, "Amtrak", "amtrac", etc. (portmanteaus of "amphibious tractor"), and "alligator" or "gator". The contract to build the first 200 LVTs was awarded to the Food Machinery Corporation (FMC), a manufacturer of insecticide spray pumps and other farm equipment, which built some parts for the Alligators. The initial 200 LVTs were built at FMC's Dunedin, Florida factory, where most of the improvement work had been done as well. The first production LVT rolled out of the plant in July, 1941. Later wartime LVT production was expanded by FMC and the Navy to four factories, including the initial facility in Dunedin; the new facilities were located in Lakeland, Florida, Riverside, California, and San Jose, California.

The LVT-3 was developed by the Borg Warner Corporation as their Model B in April 1943.

The film starts with a nostalgic look back at USAF uniforms from the late 1940s when pith helmets were authorized for use in the tropics. At 2:00, the USAF's distribution system in Europe is seen with C-23A aircraft being used to deliver vital spare parts to bases throughout the continent. The C-23A Sherpa entered service with the United States Air Force in Europe in 1985 based at Zweibrücken Air Base. It continued in use in the EDSA role until November 1990 with the post-cold war force reductions. All the Sherpas were returned to the United States; three aircraft were given to the USAF Test Pilot School at Edwards AFB, eight aircraft were given to the U.S. Army and the remaining seven to the United States Forest Service. 

At 6 minutes, TV personality Ed McMahon promotes the USAF Suggestion Program while mimic'ing his famous Publisher's Clearinghouse schtick. 

At 7 minutes, the USAF Cold School is seen, also known as the Air Force Arctic Survival School at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. Captain Diana Accinelli, a flight surgeon who was involved in a crash landing in the arctic, explains how survival skills learned at the school helped save her life.

The films discus Bauxite mining, refining, smelting, and delivery. The various aspects of the production of aluminum are shown including Bauxite Refining (:09), Smelting of Aluminum (5:30), and Aluminum Fabricating Process (10:10). 

The Bayer process shown is the principal industrial means of refining bauxite to produce alumina (aluminium oxide). Bauxite, the most important ore of aluminium, contains only 30–54% aluminium oxide, (alumina), Al2O3, the rest being a mixture of silica, various iron oxides, and titanium dioxide. The aluminium oxide must be purified before it can be refined to aluminium metal.

Alcoa Corporation (from Aluminum Company of America) is an American industrial corporation. It is the world's fifth largest producer of aluminum, with corporate headquarters in New York City. From its operational base in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the United States, Alcoa conducts operations in 10 countries. Alcoa is a major producer of primary aluminum, fabricated aluminum, and alumina combined, through its active and growing participation in all major aspects of the industry: technology, mining, refining, smelting, fabricating, and recycling.

On November 1, 2016, Alcoa Inc. split into two new entities: Alcoa Corporation, which is engaged in the mining and manufacture of raw aluminum, and Arconic, which processes aluminum and other metals. In April 2017, Alcoa announced it will move its headquarters back to Pittsburgh effective September 1.

Adapted from a Dutch documentary made by the Netherlands Government, the film looks at Holland in WWII and looks at its present and future. The film stresses that Holland's problem is not merely reconversion but a task of reconstruction. It suggests that the Dutch dike building tradition carried on into the Dutch war experience and that the Dutch "never lost faith and carried on in Dutch tradition."  The film features images of modern Holland including highways, electric trains and an airport where KLM DC-3 planes are seen (2:25). At 5:00 and onward, scenes are shown of dike building and the famous reclamation of land which shaped modern Holland. At 8:30, the film looks at the German invasion of Holland in 1940, and shows a brief history of the nation under Nazi domination. Queen Wilhemina is seen going into exile, and Free Dutch Navy and shipping are seen participating in various war campaigns in Europe including at Sicily and Normandy (10:00). At 10:45, Free Dutch Air Force pilots are seen bombing war material plants in Holland. At 12:15, the flooding of Holland by the retreating Germans is seen, and at 12:40 the parachute drop that was part of Operation Market-Garden is seen which liberated Arnhem and the Netherlands. The battle for the liberation of Holland is seen at 14:00 onward. At 16:00 the plight of the nation after the invasion is seen, with Dutch civilians living in shelters due to the loss of housing.  The return of Queen Wilhelmina is seen at 17:00 onward, and the honored burial of martyrs to the nation is seen at 17:45. At 18:30, the rebuilding of the dikes is seen and the determination of the Dutch is reiterated.

At 6:30, the next segment is about the 89th Military Airlift Wing based at Andrews AFB, which is tasked with flying the President of the United States and other top officials around the globe. The Reagan era Air Force One, now residing at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, is shown at 8:00. At 9:00 the role of airpower in the battle of Khe Sanh is shown. This was one of the most bitterly fought and publicized battles of the Vietnam War with a group of 6,000 Marines holding against a force of 20,000 enemy troops. Close air support and bombing runs by B-52 bombers, as well as supply drops by air, allowed the Marines to hold off the enemy.

Produced in 1944 by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, GRUMMAN AT WAR shows the company in full swing as part of the WWII production effort. The film was released along with a companion book to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the company's founding.  By the time it was made, production of the Wildcat and Avenger had been taken over by the Eastern Aircraft Division of General Motors Corporation, under their FM and TBM designations, to allow Grumman to concentrate on production of the F6F Hellcat, the star of this film.

The film was produced by the Princeton Film Center and produced by Leroy G. Phelps and Gordon Knox and directed by Robert Elwyn. 

The Grumman F6F Hellcat is an American carrier-based fighter aircraft of World War II. Designed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat and to counter the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero, it was the United States Navy's dominant fighter in the second half of the Pacific War. The Hellcat competed with the faster Vought F4U Corsair for that role and prevailed, as the Corsair had significant issues with carrier landings. The Corsair instead was primarily deployed to great effect in land-based use by the U.S. Marine Corps.

Powered by a 2,000 hp Pratt &amp; Whitney R-2800, the same powerplant used for both the Corsair and the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) Republic P-47 Thunderbolt fighters, the F6F was an entirely new design, but it still resembled the Wildcat in many ways. Some military observers tagged the Hellcat as the "Wildcat's big brother".

The F6F was best known for its role as a rugged, well-designed carrier fighter which was able, after its combat debut in September 1943, to outperform the A6M Zero and help secure air superiority over the Pacific Theater. 12,275 were built in just over two years.

Hellcats were credited with destroying a total of 5,223 enemy aircraft while in service with the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and the Royal Navy Fleet A...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/93fa9552-1e6b-4876-bc0b-d7cba9724370/af108906-8142-494b-a036-1ab4db2ba38e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jgQyVrXbpZdYuqJZBYDLUh</video:player_loc><video:duration>2357</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T20:03:42.927Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6ZAa49EzGMG6caE6pPDJFp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b9491540-bda8-473a-bb0e-218d755f5176.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PROJECT MOHOLE   GLOBAL MARINE DEEP SEA DRILLING OPERATION INTO EARTH'S MANTLE 21084</video:title><video:description>This film documents Project Mohole, an ambitious attempt to drill through the Earth's crust into the Mohorovičić discontinuity, and to provide an Earth science complement to the high-profile Space Race. The project was initially led by the American Miscellaneous Society with funding from the National Science Foundation. The goal was to use technology developed for the petroleum industry to penetrate deeper into the Earth's crust than ever before. A converted U.S. Navy ship, CUSK ONE, was used in the program. Mohole inadvertently contributed to another project led by corporate sponsor Global Marine, the Jennifer Project in which the Glomar Explorer (a larger platform than Cusk) was used in an attempt to retrieve a Soviet submarine. 

Phase One was executed in spring 1961. Five holes were drilled off the coast of Guadalupe Island, Mexico, the deepest to 601 ft (183 m) below the sea floor in 11,700 ft (3,600 m) of water. This was unprecedented: not in the hole's depth but because of the depth of the ocean and because it was drilled from an untethered platform. Also, the core sample proved to be valuable; penetrating through Miocene-age sediments for the first time to reveal the lowest 13 m (44 ft) consisting of basalt.

Project Mohole contracted with Global Marine of Los Angeles for the use of its oil drillship CUSS I. A consortium of Continental, Union, Superior and Shell Oil Companies, CUSS had originally developed it in 1956 as a technological test bed for the nascent offshore oil industry. CUSS I was one of the first vessels in the world capable of drilling in water depth up to 11,700 ft (3,600 m), while maintaining a position within a radius of 600 ft (180 m). Project Mohole expanded its operational range by inventing what is now known as dynamic positioning.

Phase One proved that both the technology and expertise were available to drill into the Earth's mantle. It was intended as the experimental phase of the project, and did succeed in drilling to a depth of...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3088233c-5c37-4dac-b71d-30ebd6ad692d/519c4544-7e8b-468f-b34f-26b59ad72420-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6ZAa49EzGMG6caE6pPDJFp</video:player_loc><video:duration>1124</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T20:07:56.066Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4ou2ofZp5jfsWdSJbM4SXV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/31f1bb68-669d-41e3-85da-dd8197e50bd0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OPERATION UPSHOT KNOTHOLE ATOMIC BOMB TESTS &amp; ATOMIC CANNON  23521</video:title><video:description>Released by the Department of Energy (and appropriate sanitized to remove classified material) this Armed Forces Special Weapons Project film shows the Upshot-Knothole atomic tests including the use of the so-called Atomic Cannon in 1953. Operation Upshot–Knothole was a series of eleven nuclear test shots conducted in 1953 at the Nevada Test Site. It followed Operation Ivy and preceded Operation Castle.

Over 21,000 soldiers took part in the ground exercise Desert Rock V in conjunction with the Grable shot. Grable was a 280mm shell fired from the “Atomic Cannon” and was viewed by a number of high-ranking military officials.

The test series was notable as containing the first time an atomic artillery shell was fired (shot Grable), the first two shots (both fizzles) by University of California Radiation Laboratory—Livermore (now Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory), and for testing out some of the thermonuclear components that would be used for the massive thermonuclear series of Operation Castle.

The M65 atomic cannon, often called "Atomic Annie", was a towed artillery piece built by the United States and capable of firing a nuclear device. It was developed in the early 1950s, at the beginning of the Cold War, and fielded, by 1953, in Europe and South Korea.

The cannon was transported by two specially designed tractors, both capable of independent steering in the manner of some extra-long fire trucks. Each of the tractors was rated at 375 hp, and the somewhat awkward combination could achieve speeds of 35 miles an hour and negotiate right angle turns on 28 ft wide, paved or packed roads. The artillery piece could be unlimbered in 15 minutes, then returned to traveling configuration in another 15 minutes.

On May 25, 1953 at 8:30am, the atomic cannon was tested at the Nevada Test Site (specifically Frenchman Flat) as part of the Upshot–Knothole series of nuclear tests. The test — codenamed "Grable" — was attended by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1b6f0c9a-bcc7-4411-bdf9-d77976f7a3bb/37abe29c-8d46-4625-91d4-96d5765beec0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4ou2ofZp5jfsWdSJbM4SXV</video:player_loc><video:duration>2161</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T20:14:32.887Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>Operation Upshot</video:tag><video:tag>Operation Knothole</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tar6oE1UJYdye7vCiN8Uhx</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/29fd17d5-f557-4cf5-a69d-a4a6c2fc3506.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SATURN ROCKET     GIANT THRUST INTO SPACE  NASA DOCUMENTARY  55574</video:title><video:description>Made by NASA, this film SATURN GIANT THRUST INTO SPACE profiles the Saturn rocket and Project Saturn. The film shows how the various stages of the rocket are being developed with the goal to produce a multi-stage rocket that can put large payloads into orbit around the Earth.

The Saturn family of American rocket boosters was developed by a team of mostly German rocket scientists led by Wernher von Braun to launch heavy payloads to Earth orbit and beyond. Originally proposed as a military satellite launcher, they were adopted as the launch vehicles for the Apollo moon program. Three versions were built and flown: Saturn I, Saturn IB, and Saturn V.

The Saturn name was proposed by von Braun in October 1958 as a logical successor to the Jupiter series as well as the Roman god's powerful position.

President John F. Kennedy identified the Saturn I SA-5 launch as being the point where US lift capability would surpass the Soviets, after having been behind since Sputnik. This was last mentioned by him in a speech he gave at Brooks AFB in San Antonio on the day before he was assassinated.

To date, the Saturn V is the only launch vehicle to transport human beings beyond low Earth orbit. A total of 24 humans were flown to the Moon in the four years spanning December 1968 through December 1972. No Saturn rocket failed catastrophically in flight. 

The Saturn I was the United States' first heavy-lift dedicated space launcher, a rocket designed specifically to launch large payloads into low Earth orbit. Most of the rocket's power came from a clustered lower stage consisting of tanks taken from older rocket designs strapped together to make a single large booster, leading critics to jokingly refer to it as "Cluster's Last Stand".

Triton was one of the largest submarines of its era and equipped with twin nuclear reactors. The circumnavigation of the world was conducted under the command of famous submariner Edward L. Beach.  This color film details life aboard Triton during that epochal trip, and shows its triumphant homecoming, including a visit from President Dwight Eisenhower.  Triton was to be used as a radar picket submarine, but problems related to its design meant that it was eventually relegated to use as a command vessel, and then ingloriously decommission a mere ten years after its first cruise.

The film shows the Titan IIIC launch vehicle used in the program with a specific focus on the C-18 / Vela - VB mission. This was the last of the Vela satellites, launched on April 8, 1970. The Titan IIIC shown was the 100th launched at the Eastern Test Range. The Titan IIIC consisted of a two-stage Titan core and upper stage called the Titan Transtage, both burning hypergolic liquid fuel, and two large UA1205 solid rocket boosters.

Vela was the name of a group of satellites developed as the Vela Hotel element of Project Vela by the United States to monitor compliance with the 1963 Partial Test Ban Treaty by the Soviet Union.

Vela started out as a small budget research program in 1959. It ended 26 years later as a successful, cost-effective military space system, which also provided scientific data on natural sources of space radiation. In the 1970s, the nuclear detection mission was taken over by the Defense Support Program (DSP) satellites. In the late 1980s, it was augmented by the Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. The program is now called the Integrated Operational Nuclear Detection System (IONDS).

The total number of satellites built was 12, six of the Vela Hotel design and six of the Advanced Vela design. The Vela Hotel series was to detect nuclear initiations in space, while the Advanced Vela series was to detect not only nuclear explosions in space but also in the atmosphere.

All spacecraft were manufactured by TRW and launched in pairs, either on an Atlas-Agena or Titan III-C boosters. They were placed in orbits of 118,000 km (73,000 miles),[1] well above the Van Allen radiation belts. Their apogee was about one-third of the distance to the Moon. The first Vela Hotel pair was launched on October 17, 1963,[2] one week after the Partial Test Ban Treaty went into effect, ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ec527eba-6cf4-4a1f-8093-b23cfca7ab0b/c39f495a-3477-430f-ab76-586b7a02e1c8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vbyvG9RpGMC6441y4rfaav</video:player_loc><video:duration>930</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T20:19:02.430Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nw3AqiSKLZnDeEffGconvy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6acaa49e-53eb-4f47-a209-cedee09a0182.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NORTHROP T-38 TALON PROMOTIONAL FILM  "THE VERSATILE T-38" 22594</video:title><video:description>The Northrop T-38 Talon is the focus of “The Versatile T-38,” a 1960s promotional film on the supersonic aircraft. The two-person aircraft is shown in the air and on the runway as the narrator offers a detailed description of its turbo jet engines and its thrust-to-weight ratio. Again shown in flight at mark 01:55, we’re told how the aircraft is considered one of the safest used by the Air Force and we learn more of the aircraft’s attributes as well as some of the records the aircraft set in 1962. Often used as trainers for pilots as well as test support aircraft. Furthermore, the T-38 is used at the USAF Aero Space Research Pilot School (mark 04:15) at Edwards Air Force Base as space flight readiness trainers for the astronaut program. The aircraft’s high utilization rate, we’re told near mark 05:00, is the result of three characteristics: system reliability, component accessibility, and simplicity. Crews inspect the aircraft as the narrator highlights more of the aircraft’s key attributes as the film continues, all of which leads to less maintenance time and more flight hours. 

The Northrop T-38 Talon is a two-seat, twin-engined supersonic jet trainer. It was the world's first supersonic trainer and is also the most produced. The T-38 remains in service as of 2017 in several air forces.

The United States Air Force (USAF) operates the most T-38s. In addition to training USAF pilots, the T-38 is used by NASA. The U.S. Naval Test Pilot School is the principal US Navy operator (other T-38s were previously used as USN aggressor aircraft until replaced by the similar Northrop F-5 Tiger II). Pilots of other NATO nations fly the T-38 in joint training programs with USAF pilots.

As of 2015, the T-38 has been in service for over 50 years with its original operator, the United States Air Force.

Two Aerojet engineers, Calvin Gongwer and George McRoberts, delivered not only a report but the miniature submarine shown in this historic film. This version appears to be electrically powered and probably not the prototype version, which was actually human powered. Inside the fiberglass hull of that first unit was what Gongwer and McRoberts christened the "Aquaped", a unicycle-like device that a diver could pedal underwater. The submarine was fully maneuverable underwater but did require the use of an Aqualung, and could supposedly move about four times faster than a frogman. The AquaPed was listed in the U.S. Divers catalog for $160 and the human powered submarine $1500 in 1953, with the listing indicating the submarine could move at roughly 5 knots. (Source: August 1953 issue of Life Magazine). 

Aerojet's submarine caught the attention of budding director/producer Roger Corman. He obtained the company's enthusiastic permission to use one of the subs in return for on-screen promotion. The result was his first solo production, "Monster From the Ocean Floor" (1954).

It's unclear whether the Aerojet mini-sub or the Aquaped were ever used by the UDTs / SEALs, but SDVs (Seal Delivery Vehicles) were deployed with various units in the 1950s.

It was one of many films made during this era which were called "smokers", and ranged from harmless films like this one filled with posing, to more raunchy XXX movies. At 1:22 the film includes a segment featuring Josette, the "darling of the American Army in Africa and Italy" who was "photographed in Oran, North Africa in 1943". Josette was a carnival act who did a stunt where she hung by her teeth. She also undressed down to a bikini, and could spin in the air with her leg up while still dangling from her teeth. Normally in her live act, Josette would eventually remove her g-string, although that does not happen in this film. 

At 5:41 is Joe Bonica's "Cheesecake Follies". Bonica, who made a living by producing films like this one and offered a mail order "movie of the month" club, was a pioneer in the business. This film features Hollywood starlets Nancy Marlowe, Leslie Charles and others posing at the pool of the Ambassador Hotel. At 9 minutes you will see Jean Brown, one of the "Blue Book Models".  Their ranks included a young Marilyn Monroe, put on shows at this location during the war. The film also includes Nini Shipley putting on a memorable underwater mermaid dance and shows Miss America of 1946 Marilyn Buferd modeling swim suits at Catalina Island. Stunning 6' marvel Dorothy Van Nuys is seen at the 11:30 mark. Dorothy was the official Camel Cigarette girl in 1941 and seemed off to a promising career, but it fizzled and she ended up becoming a modeling coach.

A plasma propulsion engine is a type of electric propulsion that generates thrust from a quasi-neutral plasma. This is in contrast to ion thruster engines, which generate thrust through extracting an ion current from plasma source, which is then accelerated to high velocities using grids/anodes. These exist in many forms (see electric propulsion). Plasma thrusters do not typically use high voltage grids or anodes/ cathodes to accelerate the charged particles in the plasma, but rather uses currents and potentials which are generated internally in the plasma to accelerate the plasma ions. While this results in a lower exhaust velocities by virtue of the lack of high accelerating voltages, this type of thruster has a number of interesting advantages. The lack of high voltage grids of anodes removes a possible limiting element as a result of grid ion erosion. The plasma exhaust is 'quasi- neutral', which means that ion and electrons exist in equal number, which allows simply ion- electron recombination in the exhaust to neutralise the exhaust plume, removing the need for an electron gun (hollow cathode). This type of thruster often generates the source plasma using radio frequency or microwave energy, using an external antenna. This fact, combined with the absence of hollow cathodes (which are very sensitive to all but the few noble gases) allows the intriguing possibility of being able to use this type of thruster on a huge range of propellants, from argon, to carbon dioxide, air mixtures to astronaut urine. Plasma engines are better suited for long-distance interplanetary space travel missions.

This episode opens with a look at Irish playwright and critic George Bernard Shaw (mark 00:42). We see assorted footage from different periods of his life, including a lengthy speech beginning at mark 01:20. Detail regarding the sinking of a captured German ship by the US Navy in 1921 (as part of a training exercise) is detailed starting at mark 03:35, followed by a look at the “Personalities” of 1929 (mark 04:22) including US Ambassador Charles Dawes (who had just completed a term as vice president under Calvin Coolidge) during a visit to England, and Count Folke Bernadotte, a Swedish member of a United Nations mediating team, his wife Estelle Bernadotte, and their son Gustav, as well as New York City Roman Catholic Cardinal Patrick Joseph Hayes as he prepared for a trip to the Vatican. Come mark 05:38, the film recounts a massive late 1920s fire in Newark, New Jersey that destroyed an entire city block as we see extensive footage of the flames and their aftermath, while at mark 06:42 there is a more upbeat recollection of the marriage of 105 couples in Montreal. “Susquehanna Salvage” (mark 07:57) takes a trip down the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania as it is dredged for water traffic, and “Aviation” visits that subject in 1930 and tells us about aviation pioneer Ruth Nichols. The film concludes with looks at fashion of the day in 1900, golfer Bobby Jones’ success on the green in the 1926 US Open. 

Ruth Rowland Nichols (February 23, 1901 – September 25, 1960) was an American aviation pioneer. She was the only woman yet to hold simultaneous world records for speed, altitude, and distance for a female pilot. Due to her socialite upbringing and aristocratic family background, Nichols became known in the press as the "Flying Debutante", a name she hated.[1] Nichols w...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1d7c65f9-2db2-40da-8caa-141c7b3a0feb/0a856e0b-d985-4f74-b07a-c743fd1f1e83-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4DbufnU8V72BxLhY1jv63t</video:player_loc><video:duration>759</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T20:26:58.876Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5aJYizVT5vmzfnY2wiNVZ7</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bb15757b-f33e-4f76-84ce-e03ebd29bf0b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ MAN IN THE SEA ” 1966 SEALAB II   U.S. NAVY UNDERWATER RESEARCH PROGRAM  SCOTT CARPENTER  20954</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

The U.S. Navy presents "Man in the Sea: The Story of SEALAB II", a look at the historic 1966 SEALAB II effort. Ten aquanauts; including Scott carpenter, took residency in an underwater chamber. “Man in the Sea” presents footage of the diving bell, both SEALAB I and II, the crew transfer vehicle, trained dolphins, practice sessions for craft recovery, sunken submarines and the process of decompression for the aquanauts. All three SEALAB’s were experimental underwater habits developed by the US Navy in the 1960s. Similar to the needs of space exploration; these experiments were developed to prove the viability of serving extended periods underwater in order to study the expansive ocean. SEALAB II was launched in 1965 in La Jolla Canyon off the coast of Scripps. Unlike the first SEALAB, this underwater sea world came equipped with hot showers and refrigeration. It opens as scuba divers dip low to the ocean floor with a melancholy (2:17) poetic ode to the sea. Shots follow of the first SEALAB (2:39). This mission carried a four man crew for seven days at a depth of 193 feet. Work commences for SEALAB II (3:07). It is presented by the US Navy (3:17). Captain Lewis Nelson of the US Navy (4:02) prepares for the launching. Trouble arises (5:12). A diver spills out into the water to inspect for leaks (5:22). The decision is made to continue the dive (6:04). The personnel transfer capsule (6:45) appears. The team readies to take a 15 day plunge (7:12). Master Diver Price (7:27) and Captain Walter Mazzone (7:30) were in charge of atmosphere and physiological control. A lifeline is tacked to the SEALAB (8:02).

FILM  32204</video:title><video:description>Made in the 1980s, this film shows the accident testing of spent nuclear fuel casks or flasks by fire, puncture, impact and immersion in water. The film shows the steps taken to evaluate the safety of casks by Sandia Corp under the auspices of the Department of Energy and Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Part of the film at 2:40 discusses the types of simulation technology available in this era, where computer models were not highly developed. At 2:45, a punch card computer is used to analyze the problem. At 4:19, scale model testing is shown including in a centrifuge. At 5:13, a scale model test using a rocket sled is shown. At 6:55, full scale tests are shown to demonstrate the upper limit in credible accidents with the casks. At 7:14, a 60 mile per hour crash with a tractor trailer is simulated (run into a solid concrete wall) with the cask sustaining minor damage and not losing containment credibility. At 8:00, the scale model test is shown relative to the full scale test. At secondary test at 84 miles per hour is then shown at 8:33. At 8:45, a rocket-powered diesel locomotive is crashed into a "stalled truck" at 81 mph. The cask becomes airborne on impact but is not deformed, a result similar to that of the scale model simulation. At 9:45, a railroad cask car hits a concrete abutment at over 85 miles per hour and again, the cask is not deformed. 

A nuclear flask is a shipping container that is used to transport active nuclear materials between nuclear power station and spent fuel reprocessing facilities.

Each shipping container is designed to maintain its integrity under normal transportation conditions and during hypothetical accident conditions. They must protect their contents against damage from the outside world, such as impact or fire. They must also contain their contents from leakage, both for physical leakage and for radiological shielding.

In the United States, the acceptability of the design of each cask is judged against Title 10, Part 71, of th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f275b7aa-39df-4ccc-81b6-0a2ccea8d055/b7d55e32-d45b-4ece-9c03-a9576b12625d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vWw5cgbwYTKFdJYH78MYBg</video:player_loc><video:duration>736</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T20:33:52.890Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/q3FMM59DaUH6TsmsSE5gBZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b7bcc7e2-ce36-42d5-a280-d31cb2299cb5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII BRITISH LIGHT TANK RECOGNITION &amp; TRAINING FILM  "FRIEND OR FOE"  54844</video:title><video:description>"Friend or Foe? Part 1” is a short 1940s black-and-white British production that begins with a look at proper tank camouflage (mark 00:30) and the importance of being able to “see” them, even if hidden, so as to avoid being taken by surprise. The film explains how tanks are able to move quickly across the countryside (mark 01:05), forcing soldiers to make a snap decision whether they are “ours or (the) enemy.” If a tank must face an obstacle, such as a hill, it must slow down and would therefore give soldiers an opportunity to make the determination. The narrator offers specifics on how to spot a “friendly” tank, such as its height and other details like its tracks and suspension. Mark 03:30 shows other types of British light tanks as they cross the terrain, and later discuss design elements that help it stand out. Near mark 05:00 the film presents a “quiz” in which different tanks roll past the camera and the viewer is encouraged to determine whether it is a “friend or foe.”  The tanks shown at the start of the film are Vickers Armstrong Mark VI light tanks, and the second one is the Vickers Armstrong Mark VII Tetrarch. 

The Tank, Light, Mk VI was a British light tank, produced by Vickers-Armstrongs in the late 1930s, which saw service during the Second World War. When the Mk VI was first produced in 1936, the Imperial General Staff considered the tank to be superior to any light tank produced by other nations, and well suited to the dual roles of reconnaissance and colonial warfare. When the Second World War began in September 1939, the vast majority of the tanks available to the British Army were Mk VIs; there were 1,002 Mk VI Light Tanks, 79 Mk I and Mk II Cruiser Tanks and 67 Mk I Infantry Tanks. Of these tanks, only 196 light tanks and 50 Infantry Tanks were in use by operational units of the army. When the Battle of France began in May 1940, the majority of the tanks possessed by the British Expeditionary Force were Mark VI variants. The British Army lost...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c2bb561d-2bfe-4efd-8eab-b16ede677803/363541a3-fd4d-453b-aec1-79c9fc730b32-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/q3FMM59DaUH6TsmsSE5gBZ</video:player_loc><video:duration>485</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T20:34:21.070Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/icjxnDcNUbcUKnUSZ7yN7B</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cf23617e-94d8-467c-a675-7c3012c83191.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ROCKWELL B-1B LANCER PROMOTIONAL FILM  "NEW STRENGTH FOR AMERICAN DEFENSE"  55784</video:title><video:description>Made in May of 1987, NEW STRENGTH FOR AMERICAN DEFENSE shows the then-brand-new B-1B Lancer bomber being put through its paces by Air Force crews. At 3:11,  SAC's first B-1B main operating base is shown at Dyess, Texas,  and the Ellsworth Air Force Base is also shown. McConnell AFB in Kansas and Grand Forks Air Force Base are also mentioned as part of the deployment of 100 B-1Bs. At 4:00, President Ronald Reagan is seen announcing the contracts for the B-1B, and the manpower build-up to construct the bombers is shown. (Up to this point the B-1B had been put on hiatus by the Carter Administration and was threatened with cancellation). At 4:40, the groundbreaking events at the Palmdale plant are seen, including rollout in Sept. 1984, with the first flight seen in October 1984. At 5:00, Reagan is seen at Palmdale congratulating the Rockwell team on the delivery of the first bomber for testing. The B-1B came in on time and in budget, according to the film. At 5:50, B-1B test pilot Lt. Col. Frank Birk is seen, and he and Col. Alan Rogers discuss the plane's impressive performance. 

The Rockwell B-1 Lancer is a supersonic variable-sweep wing, heavy bomber used by the United States Air Force (USAF). It is commonly called the "Bone" (originally from "B-One"). It is one of three strategic bombers in the USAF fleet as of 2017, the other two being the B-2 Spirit "Stealth Bomber", and the B-52 Stratofortress.

The B-1 was first envisioned in the 1960s as a platform that would combine the Mach 2 speed of the B-58 Hustler with the range and payload of the B-52, ultimately replacing both. After a long series of studies, Rockwell International (now part of Boeing) won the design contest for what emerged as the B-1A. This version had a top speed of Mach 2.2 at high altitude and the capability of flying for long distances at Mach 0.85 at very low altitudes. The combination of the high cost of the aircraft, the introduction of the AGM-86 ALCM cruise missile that flew the same basi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8b3ff705-ffb3-4e39-8c0e-42df52179777/aab372e6-84df-4215-b057-e1415e333fa9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/icjxnDcNUbcUKnUSZ7yN7B</video:player_loc><video:duration>434</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T20:35:38.311Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/m9S27KujVdxEitQF8iBVRv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/74b83aa3-320b-417f-8e5e-deeb9feca9f3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1968 RALLY OF 1000 LAKES   FINLAND  EUROPEAN AUTOMOBILE RACE 53744</video:title><video:description>The rally competition now known as Rally Finland, an annual race held in the Finnish Lakeland in Central Finland, is the focus of this 1968 color documentary produced by Castrol. Titled “The Flying Finns,” it features the 1968 1000 Lakes Rally and is concentrated on documenting the duel between Timo Makinen and Hannu Mikkola. The film opens with race crews, including those for rally driver Timo Salonen, expecting their vehicles and interviews with drivers describing the wide and smooth gravel roads on which they travel (mark 00:30). Mark 01:34 offers the viewer a look from within a race car to see the rally from a driver’s point of view as seven-time winner Mikkola skillfully makes speeds down the road, followed by a similar demonstration by fellow driver Makinen (mark 03:30) who explains his various maneuvers. The opening of the 1968 competition is captured beginning at mark 05:50 as night begins to close in by mark 08:20. The narrator rattles off the names of various racers as they speed past and offers race commentary along the way. As the rain begins to fall at mark 10:25, the race goes on while the narrator explains how it has turned “the loose dust into a quagmire of greasy ball bearings.” A rainy morning dawns at mark 11:45 and the race rolls on as cars splash through puddles “with mud up to their armatures.” Rain falls and the race continues, reaching what the narrator describes as one of the most challenging portions of the contest by mark 16:45 as the cars fly over hilltops — causing some drivers to lose control and spin wildly into the grassy meadow (mark 17:10). With his car sidelined, driver Simo Lampinen is shown playing with his child behind the real of his race car at mark 19:20, but for the other drivers the race continues and crowds gather at the finish line (mark 21:53) as Mikkola and his Ford Escort TC take top honors.

The film provides a look inside an AIO training school, where candidates learn a variety of interrogation methods, the importance of thoroughly familiarizing oneself with existing intelligence about enemy units and weapons, and observe mock interrogations that are critiqued by the class. The film features a series of recreations of field interrogations that are conducted by real AIO servicemen in the native languages of captured German and Japanese pilots (with English subtitles). See how each interrogator's approach is modified for the typical national characteristics of captured German, Italian and Japanese pilots and aircrew, while still being aware of each individual's personality and how it could be exploited. You'll also see how agents were planted in prison camps to glean information, "parties" were held to loosen tongues and more.

Tehuantepec is located in southeastern Mexico in Oaxaca. Actress Linda Darnell provides the  film’s narration and describes the tropical setting of Tehuantepec (similar, she says to a South Seas island with sugar cane and golden pineapples) and we see palm trees swaying in the breeze at mark 01:00. The warm sun and idyllic condition encourages residents to take it easy, Darnell says, as two oxen lazily pull a cart down the street at mark 01:22 as a boy stops to chat with a young lady in town (with women outnumber the men 5-to-1 it is said). The women are also taller than average, the result of straight spines after having balanced containers of water on their heads for most of their lives (mark 02:00), “giving them a free regal carriage which should be envied by the women of the United States.” A matriarchal society, the men work in the fields while the women are responsible for “all commercial enterprise” as well as “a fine amount of gossip.” After watching the action in a marketplace, the film shows us traditional fiesta costumes (mark 03:43) and explains women’s fondness for heavy gold jewelry, as girls model some of the accessories (some with gold coins) at mark 04:15. Mark 05:10 introduces some of the elaborate headdresses worn by female residents, which tradition dictates originated when residents found a collection of baby clothes in a shipwreck and mistook it for headdresses. At mark 05:50 the film celebrates the pageantry of a local wedding and at mark 06:45 takes the viewer to an annual fruit festival — an elaborate affair involving the most fanciful attire — and tradition dictates that resident gather in town square and catch fruit thrown to them from balconies. “This is a symbol of sharing nature’s beauty with your neighbor,” Darnell explains at mark 09:00.

The film was made under the auspices of the "Good Neighbor" film project, run by the Office of the Co-Ordinator of Inter-American Affairs in New York as part of the WWII war effort. It was produced by Ralph E. Gray.

The film opens with residents preparing for an annual festival and carefully hand-carving masks for the celebration. A narrator explains how many of the celebrations are meant to celebration the Christian faith brought to Guatemala centuries earlier by Spaniards, as we see several religious symbols as the focus of parades (mark 01:56) — though some masks are designed to mock the Spaniards who once conquered Guatemala, we are told. At mark 02:34 the audience witnesses another Totonicapan tradition — a bullfight — played out between a bullfighter and a man in an elaborate bull mask. A celebration of the Virgin of Guadalupe follows at mark 03:35 as the narrator again notes the significant role religion plays in the country’s fiestas, followed by a look at the eight-day celebration of the Festival of Santo Tomás in Chichicastenango (mark 04:25) as male worshippers burn incense and climb the steps of the cathedral while the women sit nearby, as is dictated by tradition. The film continues with the narrator providing additional information on the religious significance of some of the celebration and following a procession watch as the faithful return to the church (mark 07:45) where the. head of each family lies prostate in front of the altar and offers prayers.

The film opens with scenes of the hostile desert, with its bleak landscape and oppressive heat. At 1:32, an airplane is seen on fire and the pilot ejects (apparently this is real footage of an accident) followed at 1:46 with a process shot of a pilot in a parachute. As he descends the pilot attempts to spot terrain which might offer some shade and protection. At 2:24, the pilot is dazed from his landing, but apparently intact. From this point forward the pilot will struggle to survive until he can be rescued. At 6:40 the pilot drinks water from the survival kit, dons a hat, binds his injured knee and at 7:29, the pilot pulls his rubber survival raft along with him into the desert. At 9:13 he builds an improvised shelter using his parachute. At 13:00 he examines a survival booklet and learns that his odds of survival are not good unless he can find water. At 17:00, he places brush so that he can light a signal fire. At 17;20, he looks at a barrel cactus and considers cutting it open for water. At 18:58, he digs for water in a dry stream bed, but after digging 3' he finds no water. At 20:40, he tries to kill a rattle snake for food. At 21:00, he retrieves the barrel cactus by kicking it over. At 21:48 he cleans the snake for cooking, and even salts the snake "steaks" with salt tablets. At 22:40, he opens up the barrel cactus and pulls out a piece from which he wrings some liquid. (According to the Internet, this is not recommended. "Basically, you're ingesting a substance that your body has to process.

It features cancer survivors and patients of all ages, including some whose lives were prolonged via new forms of chemotherapy, as well as the doctors and researchers who have developed these treatments. This includes Vera Peters of the Ontario Cancer Institute, M.D., Donald Mack, M.D. of the Sheperd Hospital, Dr. C. Gordon Zubrod of the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Luis Borella of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, who made groundbreaking studies of leukemia, Henry S. Kaplan M.D., and others.  The film was partially funded or made possible by actor John Wayne, who is joined in the film by actresses Marlo Thomas, Danny Thomas (who essentially built the St. Jude's Hospital, see below),  Dionne Warwick and Anne Baxter. Wayne's appearance was especially noteworthy because he'd suffered from cancer for over a decade at the time the film was made, and was living proof that it could be (to an extent at least) beaten. As Dr. Vera Peters discusses in the film, some forms of cancer had a 90% survival rate by this time, and 1/3rd of all patients survived their cancer. Early detection and treatment are emphasized by Dr. Gale Wright at 12:00, and at 14:00 a discussion of breast cancer takes place.

At 14:16, cigarettes -- a leading cause of lung cancer -- are shown.  Frank J. Raushcer, Ph.D., a researcher, discusses exposure to carcinogens. Dr. Fred Burbank discusses smoking at 16:15 and mentions how getting rid of smoking would eliminate a lot of cancer as it is "epidemic". 

At 16:46 John Wayne talks about his own struggles against the disease, and how early detection saved his life.The Duke discusses his decision to go public and the importance of doing so. 

Incidentally, John Wayne had been a chain smoker of cigarettes since young adulthoo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b9966c43-f73b-4eb7-9b43-5760e9350499/8caafe8f-c4a4-4303-a43a-6de7c4fa5158-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oVchkz9saygTXJse1UXnm6</video:player_loc><video:duration>1700</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T20:54:10.123Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ahnVPEFeUWqM9BcGkGni22</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cc7104af-999e-42c2-b98a-9c38205a3d6a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PLANE CRASHES INTO EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, USS AKRON ZEPPELIN CRASH 53324</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

“Spectacular Disasters” is a 1950s black-and-white film combining real footage and commentary on a variety of calamities, beginning at mark 00:30 with a freak accident in 1932 when three sailors were hoisted into the air by USS Akron (ZRS-4)— two of them plummeting to their demise. The film continues wth footage of a helicopter crash, a smokestack crashing onto nearby buildings, and a bridge being destroyed by an ice flow in Warsaw, Poland. Mark 03:00 covers the dramatic 1940 Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse, which had spanned the Tacoma Narrows strait of Puget Sound between Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula. At mark 04:30, the film recounts the 1945 crash of a B-25 Mitchell bomber into the north side of the Empire State Building in a foggy New York City, as smoke “from flaming gasoline-soaked wreckage” is shown rising from the structure at mark 04:47. Disasters at sea conclude the film as freighters are shown being tossed about at sea at mark 06:00, leading to an eventual sea rescue, we see the 1952 sinking of the cargo ship SS Flying Enterprise (mark 06:45), and of course revisit the sinking of the HMS Titanic (mark 08:08).

The B-25 Empire State Building crash was a 1945 aircraft accident in which a B-25 Mitchell bomber, piloted in thick fog over New York City, crashed into the Empire State Building. The accident did not compromise the building's structural integrity, but it did cause fourteen deaths (three crewmen and eleven people in the building) and damage estimated at $1,000,000 ($13,303,142 in 2016 dollars).

The film provides a dramatized account of an accident labeled “HBD” — had been drinking. The narrator cautions against that “deadly mixture of alcohol and gasoline” and that such a mixture can lead to death. We see a busy intersection at mark 01:25, where “male and female” drivers, some good and some bad, make their way down the street. Some drivers are described as being “too cautious” (mark 01:45) such as the man creeping along because he’s had too much to drink — only to catch a patrolman’s attention. A sergeant explains at mark 02:35 how one in every six accidents involve a drunken driver as he looks at photos with smashed autos, adding that many drunk drivers are “average normal people who used an intoxicant in moderation and considered themselves perfectly capable of driving a car or walking in front of a car.” At mark 03:10 we watch a simulation of a “drunk” motorist behind the wheel with slowed reflexes, as well as vision and hearing. When drunk driving is suspected, police conduct “careful scientific tests” (mark 04:00) to prove a driver is incapable of driving because of alcohol or some other substance or ailment. The officer also notes that a drunk driver is 55-times more likely to have an accident than a sober driver. Each driver must hold an individual responsibility not to drink and drive, the officer says at mark 05:35, and access their own ability to drive.

Starting at mark 00:30 we see a map of the New England states as a narrator explains how Civil Defense agencies “are hearing the call to action” as newspaper headlines about mock air raids and bomb attacks appear on the screen. At mark 01:07, Myron D. Chase, a liaison between the telephone company and the National Defense Communications Board, provides details on the defense plan for American communities in the case of an air raid, including civilian observers watching for enemy aircraft and using phone lines to report their movement. He also provides information on air raid alarming and air raid precautions, and at mark 03:50 shows footage from a training exercise in Massachusetts as a building burns (the result of an “enemy attack”) and an air raid warden surveys and reports all the necessary details of the damage. At a report center (mark 04:25), volunteer operators are shown recording the details. As incidents are reported, the locations are shown being plotted on a large wall map with various color pins. Meanwhile, at mark 06:20, we see representatives from the water, gas, electric, and telephone companies as well as the local fire department manning phone lines to take “necessary action” as fire trucks speed to the scene. “These defense workers present an inspiring picture of the unity which a great crisis always brings,” the narrator concludes at mark 08:40.

Opening with an explanation of what is soldering and a scene of a worker in action, the film features an animation (mark 01:10) detailing the changes occurring to metal during the process. Various types of soldering irons and solder (a fusible metal alloy used to create a permanent bond between metal workpieces) are introduced at mark 02:37 while a factory worker is shown properly securing a soldering iron before going to work. The film continues as workers perform various tasks with soldering irons as the narrator offers detailed explanations for each step of the process. Near mark 08:00 we’re presented with safety tips such as the importance of wearing safety glasses, when to wear gloves, and how to keep an iron in a safety cage when not in use, as those steps also play out on the screen and additional soldering techniques are illustrated. Methods for soldering with a torch play out starting at mark 11:09 and continuing through the end of the training film.

USS Lewis and Clark (SSBN-644), a Benjamin Franklin class ballistic missile submarine, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the explorers Meriwether Lewis (1774–1809) and William Clark (1770–1838), who carried out the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-1806.

After shakedown and missile firing off Cape Kennedy, Florida, in 1966, Lewis and Clark began deterrent patrols, armed with Polaris A3 ballistic missiles. On 21 July 1972, Lewis and Clark completed conversion of her ballistic missile tubes to carry Poseidon C3 ballistic missiles. On 18 December 1972, the Gold Crew successfully launched one Poseidon C-3 missile in support of Lewis and Clark's Demonstration and Shakedown Operation (DASO).

On 8 April 1973, Lewis and Clark deployed for an operational deterrent patrol. On 19 June 1981, Lewis and Clark successfully fired four Poseidon C-3 missiles in a Follow-on Operational Test. On 23 July 1981, she began a Poseidon refueling overhaul at Newport News Shipbuilding. On 13 June 1985, Lewis and Clark successfully launched four Poseidon C-3 missiles in a Follow-on Operational Test.

Deactivated while still in commission on 1 October 1991, Lewis and Clark was decommissioned on 27 June 1992 and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 August 1992. Her scrapping via the U.S. Navy's Nuclear-Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program at Bremerton, Washington began on 1 October 1995 and was completed on 23 September 1996.

This episode opens at mark 00:30 with the famed 1919 World Series scandal — famously known as the Black Sox Scandal — in which eight members of the Chicago White Sox were accused of intentionally losing the 1919 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for money from gamblers. There are scenes of New York Giants manager John McGraw (mark 01:05) as well as Sox players Eddie Cicotte and Shoeless Joe Jackson, in addition to rare footage from Game 1 (mark 01:35). We see Baseball Commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis (mark 01:55) and iconic heroes Babe Ruth and Casey Stengel, all of whom are credited with helping “bring baseball back” following the scandal. Mark 02:43 takes us to 1926 and “Paving the Way,” a look at the world’s faster bricklayer who can lay 100 bricks a minute, and at mark 03:22 see “Ready for Gas” — which explains how firefighters don gas masks in order to more effectively combat fires, and how lessons learned during World War I was preparing men for possible gas attacks as WW2 approached. Even British babies are shown being placed inside specially designed gas-proofed suits (mark 04:45). Personalities of 1930 (mark 05:05) include sculptor George Grey Barnard and Secretary of War Elihu Root, and at mark 06:00 there is a look at a passenger train collision near Carpenter, Michigan. Mark 06:50 features “Broadway Ballerina” — a dancer rhythmically making her way down the street in 1930 to offer New York City residents a brief respite from the Great Depression. Newsman Walter Winchell is shown being presented with an American Legion award at mark 07:25 during the early 1940s and speaks on American values, while at mark 13:08 there is a look at 1930 aviation and Eddie Schneider, who set three transcontinental airspeed records for pilots under the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/be238892-9e0a-44c5-ba35-a451d19a0013/2b0ea070-0b0a-4472-bf0c-e4c25ca8a645-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ptMRUBAcTd2v2iTtFKnZHM</video:player_loc><video:duration>699</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T21:04:33.406Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vjDLq7ZDTHPHu7LCyAvBb4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/186e1085-e38c-4f3f-b954-f2ffe4476075.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>A-6 INTRUDER  ANY WEATHER...ANY TIME  GRUMMAN ALL WEATHER INTERCEPTOR  81134</video:title><video:description>This circa 1976 film opens with a montage of world leaders including President Gerald R. Ford, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev as the narrator explains how “peace often seems a respite between wars.” As a result the US must work at being prepared for conflict as “strength is the best deterrent to war.” As a result, the US remains ever vigilant with military bases established around the globe, as well as ships at sea, including aircraft carriers. While the successful operation of an aircraft carrier is a team effort, we’re told near mark 03:00, including aircraft attack squadrons assigned to the ships “to get the job done.” The best squadron, it is suggested, are those with the Grumman A-6 Intruder, and by mark 04:30 we’re finally provided with a film title: “A6E Intruder: Any Weather … Any Time.” (The A-6E, the definitive version of the Navy's A-6 Intruder attack bomber with upgraded navigation and attack systems, was introduced in 1970 and first deployed in December 1971.) The film includes A-6 Intruder footage and on-the-spot interviews with pilots and air wing commanders who discuss the aircraft’s capabilities. The aircraft is shown flying through heavy fog and thick clouds as the narrator discusses some of the fighter’s on-board computer systems, radar, and navigation systems (mark 05:30). The aircraft is considered one of the most potent attack weapon for Vietnam War-era US Navy Carrier battle groups, we’re told. The viewer is given access to film footage of action in the air as well as in the field (mark 08:26) and a number of interviews with US Marines discussing their bombing runs. Although no aircraft is all things for all missions, says the narrator at mark 12:08, the A-6 is often the choice, in part due to its ability to carry a large weapons load, as we see additional scenes of the fighter in flight and pilots discuss maneuverability. “Readiness is what it's all about,” states the narrator at mark 14:30, while an ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ed73aed8-c71c-4a3f-990e-f7ea701f6ddb/1bfa636b-afdf-4898-9c48-b636d803910b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/vjDLq7ZDTHPHu7LCyAvBb4</video:player_loc><video:duration>1173</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T21:05:43.071Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dKv8iQfKwKfX5TxuKMhK67</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8b0b3683-6df9-4975-b138-6fa0a91c0928.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  1933 HOLY YEAR  POPE PIUS XI  1929 CHICAGO BLIZZARD  54934</video:title><video:description>This “Yesterday’s Newsreel” film offers the viewer “television highlights of the news of yesteryear” by providing vintage clips of famous people and events from the first half of the 20th century. This episode begins with 1933’s Holy Year (mark 00:30) as Pope Pius XI celebrates the liturgical feast along with Roman Catholic faithful at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. The event is followed by scenes of a 1930s “Floating Cabaret” in the waters off Long Island, as bathing suit beauties dance with men in suits. “Return Bout” (mark 03:08) covers the 1939 “fight” between boxing champions Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard — actually a staged recreation of their famed 1919 bout. Personalities of 1920 (mark 03:56) include Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt, Republican politician Will H. Hays, and opera soprano Marion Talley, A crushing blizzard that hit Chicago in 1929 is revisited starting at mark 05:35 as residents dig out cars amidst white-out conditions, and plows go to work in the Chicago Loop. Mark 06:48 educates the view on how the army mined San Francisco Bay as part of a training exercise, followed by a look at new roads Yosemite National Park that opened in 1926, aviatrix Amelia Earhart shown in London in 1928 (mark 08:50), the 1926 fashion scene. Mark 10:20 introduces us to Indianapolis 500 winner Tommy Milton as well as marathon swimmers in Canada.

For this reason, a close examination of any potential bivouac area must be made. At 2:24, a truck convoy moves in close column on a road, making it a sitting duck for enemy aircraft. The recommended procedure is seen at 2:50, with trucks spread out by a hundred yards or more. At 3:20, the convoy moves on a dirt road and maintains camouflage discipline -- not straying off the road and creating new tracks. At 4:00, troops brush up flattened grass to further conceal truck movement. At 5:10, a halftrack is moved to adjust the shadows that it throws, and at 5:55 a vehicle's headlights are covered in leaves to prevent reflections. At 8:00, a truck is entirely covered by natural foliage and properly concealed from the air. At 10:00, examination of aerial photographs is shown, demonstrating that the camouflage is working, since the enemy cannot detect any difference in the photos from the air.

PIANO MANUFACTURE &amp; SALES PROMOTIONAL FILM 55264</video:title><video:description>The Rudolph Wurlitzer Company presents “Pianorama,” a 1950s black-and-white promotional film that follows two young children who become enamored by their grandfatherly neighbor’s piano-playing ability and are soon drawn into the world of music. The children beg their parents for a piano of their own, only to be met with resistance from their father. “Martha needs a new refrigerator and I’ve had my eye on a new car … you can’t keep food in a piano or ride to work in one. I’m afraid we’re not rich enough for all those luxuries,” he laments at mark 03:52. But “modern production techniques” combined with “old-time craftsmanship” can make a piano affordable, the old neighbor counters at mark 04:45. By mark 05:35 the film launches into a narrative of how pianos are built, with footage showing how the once hand-crafted pieces can now be made in minutes using machinery. Each step of the process is captured by the camera with the narrator explaining the action. Engineers are shown at drawing boards at mark 09:50 designing not only piano cabinets but also carefully positioning strings and plates on paper before bringing them to life. Workers in a sound laboratory test a piano’s sound at mark 11:20, where its tone is analyzed and perfected. Painstaking detail of the piano-making process is shown as the film rolls and strings are shown being affixed to the finished cabinet at mark 19:22. Cabinets are finished and stained until a shiny new piano flashes on the screen at mark 22:25. “It’s an instrument that’s truly the heart of the home,” the elderly neighbor proclaims at mark 26:28 — a sales pitch that may be enough to convince the father to add one to his own home. 

The Rudolph Wurlitzer Company, usually referred to as simply Wurlitzer, is an American company started in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1853 by German immigrant Rudolph Wurlitzer. The company originally imported stringed, woodwind and brass instruments from Germany for resale in the U.S. Wurlitzer enjoyed initial success ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8ebba2d8-dc38-4a5d-ab46-aebf08423b4d/7de414ca-1eae-41da-b0dc-4960bf962631-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iCgqomecLEAGo6Ts8Ms8G2</video:player_loc><video:duration>1718</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T21:11:53.461Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/88vPmudNn3S9JyqnNEwiqG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/db6809d7-d105-4ed0-ab01-01d5b9c74b43.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY FLIGHT TRAINING CARTOON "LANDING ACCIDENTS" 32434</video:title><video:description>Produced for the U.S. Navy, this 1946 cartoon LANDING ACCIDENTS tells the cautionary tale of a distracted Navy flier who crashes his plane during a landing. The film looks at the proper procedures during approach, including use of a check list, and the importance of "going around" when things are not ideal. 

This cartoon was doubtless inspired by the work of Lt. Robert Osborn, who in 1943 in collaboration with Commander Seth Warner, created a “sage of safety” character known as Grandpa Pettibone for a column in the BUAER News Letter (produced by the Bureau of Aeronautics). The column addressed the increasing aircraft mishap rate. Osborn’s illustrations commingled with Warner’s narrative accounts of aircraft accidents. Following a description of a mishap, the old curmudgeon aviator railed at young fliers for making stupid mistakes. More than one aviator caught in a pinch in the sky has suddenly remembered a timely pearl of wisdom from Gramps that helped the flier avoid a costly- and perhaps fatal-error.

Osborn was also the creator of more than 2,000 “Dilbert the Pilot” and “Spoiler the Mechanic” posters. These safety gems were liberally displayed in hangars and aboard ships during WW II and into the 1950s. In addition, he produced “Sense” pamphlets, which gave WW II fliers common sense safety rules on aviation subjects, such as “Flight Deck Sense.”

In 1977, Osborn’s dedicated service to Naval Aviation was recognized when he was designated No. 14 in the elite group of Honorary Naval Aviators.

Mark 01:12 takes us to Broadway, “the longest street in the world,” that shows us “domes of commerce above the narrow streets” (as explained via title cards). We see scenes of bridges connecting buildings high above the busy streets, including Broad Street, as the camera pans up building sides and flashes on the New York Stock Exchange (mark 02:27). Trinity Church at Wall Street and Broadway is presented starting at mark 02:50, followed by shots of City Hall, the Woolworth Building, and Brooklyn Bridge (mark 03:58) looking toward Manhattan Bridge. Fishermen unload mackerel at Fulton Fish Market (mark 04:20) followed by additional views of skyscrapers and a look at the Lower East Side (which a title card identifies as “the Ghetto” at mark 06:02) as merchants wheel pushcarts full of merchandise down the streets and laundry hangs from clotheslines strung between buildings. This is followed by  a visit to the Bowery (mark 07:05) where rooms at the Palma House are advertised for 40 cents a night and a restaurant advertises menu items ranging from a nickel to 25 cents. “Modern” express highways are captured starting at mark 07:53 while “local traffic” is confined to street traffic. By mark 08:33 we see various views of the 102-story Empire State Building, followed by the Chrysler Building and the Great White Way where Joan Crawford’s 1932 film “Rain” is advertised at the Rivoli Theater. We visit ritzy Park Avenue and the Waldorf Astoria Hotel before stopping at Central Park (mark 10:45) where equestrians head out for a ride.

Hornet motor. Turner made the flight from Detroit to New York (550 mi.) in 1 hr.. 47 min.. 21 sec., averaging 308.4 m.p.h. or more than five miles a minute. Unofficially broken was the official world's land-plane speed record (304.98 m.p.h.) held by James R. Wedell, who built Turner's plane. A huge dust storm over the Alleghenies cut Turner's speed from a maximum of 340 m.p.h.

Starting at 3:49 is coverage of Turner's flight from New York to Los Angeles in 1933, when he set a new speed record. 

More about Turner: Roscoe Turner’s major contribution to aviation was speed. And while he is known for his showmanship and speed records in the 1930s, the race years brought considerable pressure and gave him terrible nightmares. The press would dub him “superman” and “immortal” on one page while the obituary writers were putting him in the ground on another. In 1935 one newspaper printed his obituary in advance and delivered it to his hotel room the night before the Cleveland race. “No matter how many newspapers turn you into a superman, an immortal, you’re still a man inside, you don’t quite feel like dying, and you’re generally scared as hell,” Turner said.

In 1929, he set a speed record between Los Angeles and New York while carrying a passenger. He broke the transcontinental record more times than any other person. During his barnstorming days, he sported a wax mustache and a pseudo-military uniform and often flew with his pet lion “Gilmore.” In 1933, Turner won the Bendix Transcontinental race. Turner was the only person to win the Thompson Trophy Races in 1934, 1938, and 1939. Turner and Jimmy Doolittle are the only pilots to win both the Thompson and Bendix trophies. In 1934, Turner was the sponsor and commander of the only American team to finish the McRobertson International Air Race ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3339d0e1-25e0-44dc-a24b-a51a75332680/31a29e09-15b7-4624-a974-0331b9257ef4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7jTgDusYe2MaDkPrMjuSsU</video:player_loc><video:duration>600</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T21:17:44.575Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3K9upVQoLhscHE5beJhGoQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/916a94e7-3cda-4d0c-84d0-403ed8e1055d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. AIR FORCE  AIR STRIKES IN NORTH VIETNAM in 1966  BOMBING OF HANOI  23384</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This declassified film details attacks by the USAF in North Vietnam and Laos in 1966. Some of the attacks include F-4s and F-105s, some flying out of Korat Air Base. Includes rare footage of a North Vietnamese MiGs being shot down by cannon fire. Seventeen MiGs were shot down in 1966, including a MiG-21 shot down by a sidewinder missile.

At the beginning of 1966, the number of U.S. military personnel in South Vietnam totaled 184,314. South Vietnamese military forces totaled 514,000 including the army (ARVN) and the Regional Force and Popular Force (the "Ruff-Puffs") militias. The North Vietnamese Army (PAVN) numbered 400,000, most still in North Vietnam. 50,000 North Vietnamese cadre and soldiers infiltrated South Vietnam during 1965. Group 559, charged with transporting supplies down the Ho Chi Minh Trail to supply communist troops in both South Vietnam and Laos, numbered 24,400 personnel.

The U.S. estimated the number of Viet Cong (VC) and PAVN soldiers in South Vietnam at nearly 280,000 by June 1966, including part-time guerrillas. A bombing pause of North Vietnam had been announced by President Johnson on December 24 and was in effect.

An LTV “narrates” the film as the vehicle is shown being utilized by US Marines (mark 00:52) on a test course. Maneuvering across the ditches and through mud, we’re told how it could also be used as a bridge if necessary, as we see at mark 01:30. An LTV emerges from a tank landing ship and hits an unidentified beach in the Pacific Ocean at mark 02:25 while taking fire. Combat footage fills the screen as the action is narrated including Japanese soldiers being burned from their hiding places by flamethrowers (mark 04:45). LVTs are used to transport wounded Marines from the battlefield to hospital ships (mark 05:10) before returning to the firing lines, where a flamethrower is affixed to the vehicle (mark 05:55) “where we give that hill the hot foot — but good.” Following some routine maintenance, the LTV is ready for action while new vehicles that only recently rolled off assembly lines are ready for the war.

The Landing Vehicle Tracked (LVT) is an amphibious warfare vehicle and amphibious landing craft, introduced by the United States Navy. The United States Marine Corps, United States Army, and Canadian and British armies used several LVT models during World War II.

Originally intended solely as cargo carriers for ship to shore operations, they evolved into assault troop and fire support vehicles. The types were known as amphtrack, "Amtrak", "amtrac", etc. (portmanteaus of "amphibious tractor"), and "alligator" or "gator".

The contract to build the first 200 LVTs was awarded to the Food Machinery Corporation (FMC), a manufacturer of insecticide spray pumps and other farm equipment, which built some parts for the Alligators. The initial 200 LVTs were built at FMC's Dunedin, Florida factory, where most of the improvement work had been done as well.

Aided by illustrations (mark 02:45), the narrator continues his explanation of stalled landings — comparing the movements of a Stearman biplane to that of a bird. Wind direction as it relates to landings is addressed beginning near mark 03:15, followed by standard landing procedures (mark 05:00) and a warning against “ballooning” (mark 05:40) which could cause a plane to gain lift. “The ideal landing is the landing you make out of a glide,” explains the narrator at mark 07:38, and as it continues the viewer sees potential pitfalls of landing outside a wind line including being thrown about a field upon landing (mark 08:00). The narrator’s explanation continues with an explanation of a pilot being able to “feel” a landing (mark 10:43) and the importance of a pilot honing all their senses to successfully execute a landing

The answer: “Ballistic Missile Early Warning System” — which also serves as the film’s title. Presented by RCA Defense Electronics Products Missile and Surface Radar Division, this color film was made in connection with the US Air Force “to inform the public about one of our vital defense programs.” As bombers lift off from airfields (mark 02:05), the narrator explains how “aggressors” will rely on sneak attacks to catch the US off guard, requiring the country to develop early warning systems. At mark 02:50, the viewer is given specifics regarding the BMEWS project, consisting of radar sites in Alaska, Greenland, and England. The radar systems are designed to detect the launch of enemy missiles, illustrated starting at mark 03:10, and would enable the US to launch a retaliatory strike “at full force.” As the film continues we see RCA engineers and military personnel meeting to discuss the project’s development and explains the roles of some of the 9,000 large and small businesses considered participants. There are various scenes at industrial plants (mark 06:00) as workers are shown constructing some of the necessary equipment, including massive radar components and transmitters, as well as computers. Frozen ground is shown being prepared for construction as building begin to take shape by mark 09:00. Each site is shown, including one under construction in Yorkshire, England (mark 12:17). “This is BMEWS, an electronic defense system to warn of enemy attack from the sky,” the narrator notes at mark 14:05 as he lauds the military and industrial capability of the United States.

These were British Commonwealth, Empire and Allied victory celebrations held after the defeat of Nazi Germany and Japan in World War II. Attended by Queen Elizabeth and members of the royal family, the celebrations took place in London on 8 June 1946, and consisted mainly of a military parade through the city and a night time fireworks display. Most British allies took part in the parade, including Belgium, Brazil, China, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, Luxembourg the Netherlands and the United States.The parade arrangements caused a controversy surrounding the lack of representation of Polish forces.

The first part of the parade was the Chiefs of Staff's procession, featuring the British Chiefs of Staff together with the Supreme Allied Commanders. This was followed by a mechanized column which went from Regent's Park to Tower Hill to The Mall (where the saluting base was) and then back to Regent's Park. It was more than four miles long and contained more than 500 vehicles from the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force, British civilian services and the British Army (in that order).

Next came a marching column, which went from Marble Arch to The Mall to Hyde Park Corner.This was headed by the flags of the Allied nations which took part in the parade, each with an honor guard. Next came units of the navies, air forces, civilian services and armies of the nations of the British Empire. They were followed by units from the Royal Navy, followed by British civilian services, the British Army, representatives of certain Allied air forces and the Royal Air Force. This was followed by a fly-past of 300 aircraft, led by Douglas Bader. In the aftermath, 4,127 persons needed medical attention and 65 were taken to hospital.

After sunset of the same day, the principal buildings of London were lit by floodlights...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/daa59af2-87fc-43ea-b3b0-bc64f3d43831/502af111-089f-4065-902a-d3b3391fc798-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sZY9R3r781jTiE4qzZqi72</video:player_loc><video:duration>931</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T21:30:00.737Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aLxWKVvzKUduCbDbjLCM1A</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e586b1af-069e-45b2-8856-3c64fa9ea5c1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HUMPHREY BOGART WORLD WAR II  AMERICAN RED CROSS PROMOTION "REPORT FROM THE FRONT"  55314</video:title><video:description>Hollywood star Humphrey Bogart expressed his disappointment on multiple occasions about being too old to serve in WWII, but the veteran actor did his part working for the USO and making this film, "Report from the Front".  The plot of this 3 minute short is simple: As Humphrey Bogart (clad in his distinctive overcoat and trademark fedora) and his wife Mayo Methot arrive home after a Red Cross tour, they are met by reporters who ask Bogie about the work of the Red Cross overseas. The film then shows footage of U.S. servicemen fighting, relaxing, and being cared for by the Red Cross including by the nurse corps.  

According to A. M. Sperber’s book "Bogart", Bogie arrived on the Warner Brothers set with his four page monologue memorized and insisted on Methot being included in the short.  He made a few rewrites to the script to make the final plea for donations a little stronger. 

The plane in the background is, by the way, only a set. Still with the outfit Bogie is wearing and the plane tail looking somewhat similar to the end scene of Casablanca, it's hard not to see this short as a great postscript for that film, the most wonderful drama to emerge from WWII. 

Incidentally, Bogart was a U.S. Navy veteran who served in 1918, spending most of his career on a converted passenger ship the USS Leviathan that ferried troops to and from Europe. He was at one time AWOL from ship but managed to get an honorable discharge nonetheless.

Manhatta documents the look of early-20th-century Manhattan. With the city as subject, the film consists of 65 shots sequenced in a loose non-narrative structure, beginning with a ferry approaching Manhattan and ending with a sunset view from a skyscraper. The primary objective of the film is to explore the relationship between photography and film; camera movement is kept to a minimum, as is incidental motion within each shot. Each frame provides a view of the city that has been carefully arranged into abstract compositions.

Manhatta was a collaboration between painter Charles Sheeler and photographer Paul Strand. The intertitles include excerpts from the writings of Walt Whitman.

The title comes from Walt Whitman's poem "Mannahatta," which is quoted in one of the intertitles:

High growths of iron,
slender, strong,
splendidly uprising
toward clear skies.

The film is laced with other bits of Whitman's poetry, including portions of "A Song of Occupations," "A Broadway Pageant," and "City of Ships":

City of the world
(for all races are here)
City of tall facades
of marble and iron,
Proud and passionate city.

A typical training set-up is seen, with the Norden being operated in a hangar, using a piece of equipment as a distant "target".

During the entire war the Norden was considered a top secret piece of equipment and normally when it was shown in training films, it was hidden behind a piece of canvas or otherwise "blacked out". This series of films provides a rare look at the operation of the bombsight as it was presented to bombardiers.  This instructional film explains how to operate a complex bombing sight system, focusing on adjusting the rate and course controls to accurately target. It begins by introducing the sight’s various knobs, switches, and leveling mechanisms, then guides the user through controlling the horizontal crosshair with the rate motor. The video emphasizes mastering rate adjustments before moving on to course corrections, explaining the use of the Pilot Direction Indicator (PDI) to help pilots maintain proper heading. Viewers learn how to manage drift angles by combining turn and drift knobs, leveling the sight with bubble indicators, and making continuous corrections while tracking a target. The demonstration concludes with multiple bombing runs, illustrating the challenge of hitting targets accurately and the need for repeated practice to improve precision.

During the entire war the Norden was considered a top secret piece of equipment and normally when it was shown in training films, it was hidden behind a piece of canvas or otherwise "blacked out". This series of films provides a rare look at the operation of the bombsight as it was presented to bombardiers. 

The Norden Mk. XV, known as the Norden M series in Army service, was a bombsight used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) and the United States Navy during World War II, and the United States Air Force in the Korean and the Vietnam Wars. It was the canonical tachometric design, a system that allowed it to directly measure the aircraft's ground speed and direction, which older bombsights could only measure inaccurately with lengthy in-flight procedures. The Norden further improved on older designs by using an analog computer that constantly calculated the bomb's impact point based on current flight conditions, and an autopilot that let it react quickly and accurately to changes in the wind or other effects.

Together, these features seemed to promise unprecedented accuracy in day bombing from high altitudes; in peacetime testing the Norden demonstrated a circular error probable (CEP)[a] of 23 metres (75 ft), an astonishing performance for the era. This accuracy allowed direct attacks on ships, factories, and other point targets. Both the Navy and the AAF saw this as a means to achieve war aims through high-altitude bombing; for instance, destroying an invasion fleet by air long before it could reach US shores. To achieve these aims, the Norden was granted the utmost secrecy well into the war, and was part of a then-unprecedented production effort on the same scale as the Manhattan Project. Carl L. Norden, Inc. ranked 46th among United Sta...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a1b82c6e-602b-4cc7-9dd2-1dd43b4e98d3/1edd931c-b018-45d2-af25-d738283b0ac8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kYfqtKwZozXhRgVyMD1t1p</video:player_loc><video:duration>288</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T21:35:25.949Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/eTjmddq61wiwNuFa3brKGr</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/782638f4-00a3-4539-b684-af49a556bc6e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  WILEY POST SOLO FLIGHT   U.S. TROOPS IN SIBERIA RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR 54944</video:title><video:description>Episode 64 of “Yesterday’s Newsreel” provided viewers “television highlights of the news of yesteryear” by providing vintage clips of famous people and events from the first half of the 20th century. This episode opens with pilot Wiley Post’s solo flight around the world in 1933 (mark 00:43) with numerous scenes from the historic event and the celebrations that followed, including a meeting with New York City Mayor John O’Brien (mark 03:30). US Soldiers Sail for Siberia” (mark 04:20) tells how US troops headed to Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution, with many returning later with Russian war brides. “Personalities of 1930” (mark 05:30) include a birthday celebration for German field marshal and president Paul von Hindenburg, plus silent film stars Hope Hampton and Ben Turpin. Scenes of New York subway accidents and disasters are recalled starting at mark 07:10, followed by a trip to 1930 and a comical look of “London’s Best Basket Balancer” (mark 08:15). At mark 08:53, the film introduces us to Jesuit Father Johannes Hagen, director of the Vatican Observatory and the only American on the staff of Pope Pius XI, and we see scenes of him at work. Fashion from 1920 are shown beginning at mark 09:43, as are a few of the sports stars from circa 1930 (mark 10:44), including Canadian figure skater Constance Wilson-Samuel and 1929 Indianapolis 500 winner Ray Keech. 

The American Expeditionary Force Siberia (AEF Siberia) was a United States Army force that was involved in the Russian Civil War in Vladivostok, Russian Empire, during the end of World War I after the October Revolution, from 1918 to 1920. As a result of this expedition, which failed but became known to the Bolsheviks, early relations between the United States and the Soviet Union would be low.

U.S. President Woodrow Wilson's claimed objectives for sending troops to Siberia were as much diplomatic as they were military. One major reason was to rescue the 40,000 men of the Czechoslovak Legion, who were bei...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/70710ae0-90ed-4031-89ca-b06cd4f8b3bd/de843f9d-cc40-44c2-a9a8-0a13d2136741-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eTjmddq61wiwNuFa3brKGr</video:player_loc><video:duration>757</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T21:37:31.823Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2nCXhYNaNaQQiNeKVmauJ9</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a506aa64-2720-4ed9-b0ff-ca70b2146622.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" TREETOP DAREDEVILS "  1950s LUMBERJACK &amp; LUMBER INDUSTRY FILM  55174</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

The Monty Python song "I'm a lumberjack..." might have been inspired by this wonderful film from 1953 "Treetop Daredevils", shot in the Pacific Northwest. Despite the mocking commentary it provides insight into a lost era in American logging. This short film that shows lumberjacks and axemen working in an era before power tools were brought to bear on the forest, and almost everything was done by muscle. In addition to showing the cutting down of old growth forest logs and their floating down the river, the film includes a lengthy segment showing lumberjack games and sports, including climbing a tree and taking the top off, tree climbing races, log hurtling, throwing axes, shaving with an axe, etc. Despite the mocking commentary, it provides insight into a lost era in American logging.

The film begins with images of the B-52, Polaris missile, and the Minuteman missile, which are known as the "Triad forces" of nuclear defense.  Major General Otis C. Moore then describes the mission of the Aerospace Defense Command and the 14th Aerospace Force, which is to warn the President of the United States prior to any attack by the enemy, so that an appropriate response can be made. The film then presents a tour of Cheyenne Mountain control complext as presented by Col. Barney Sakowski. The Cheyenne Mountain Complex is a military installation and nuclear bunker located in Colorado Springs, Colorado at the Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, which hosts the activities of several tenant units. Also located in Colorado Springs is Peterson Air Force Base, where the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) headquarters are located.

The complex was built under 2,000 feet (610 m) of granite on 2 hectares (5 acres). Fifteen three-story buildings are protected from movement by an earthquake or explosion by a system of giant springs that the buildings sit on and flexible pipe connectors to limit the operational effect of movement. A total of more than 1,000 springs are designed to prevent any of the 15 buildings from shifting more than one inch. The complex is the only high altitude Department of Defense facility certified to be able to sustain an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). There is a large quantity of cots for most of the personnel and suites for "top brass" within the nuclear bunker. Amenities include a medical facility, store, cafeteria, and fitness centers inside and outside the mountain.

It is a montage of color footage of the Battle of Midway with voice overs of various narrators, including Johnny Governali, Donald Crisp, Henry Fonda, and Jane Darwell.

The film begins with a male narrator (Ray Milland) explaining where Midway Island is and its strategic importance, and shows the PBY Catalina seaplane base (previously used by Pan Am for its flying boats). There are also P.T. boats seen in the harbor as well as Gooney Birds. At 3:40, a group of B-17 Flying Fortresses are seen on the island (these would later attack the Japanese fleet but without any apparent hits).  About five minutes into the film the format changes somewhat, with more leisurely pictures of the G.I.s at work on the island, and then a female voice over. The female voice over (Verna Felton) takes the personality of a middle aged woman from Springfield, Ohio, who is a mother-type figure pointing out how she recognizes a boy from her home town. The boy is Army Air Force pilot William E. "Junior" Kinney. Then stock footage of the Kinney family back home is introduced.

Abruptly the narrative turns to the battle itself with approximately five minutes dedicated to the defense of the island, the naval battle, and the aftermath. At 9:30 the carrier USS Yorktown is seen and its complement of dive and torpedo bombers as well as Wildcat fighters. At 13:40 the long task of retrieving USA fliers from the sea is shown, with the PBYs bringing in men who had been stranded for over a week after the battle had ended. This is a very poignant moment in the film. At the end the various known Japanese losses are shown (four aircraft carriers, battleships, aircraft etc.) and then brushed over with red paint.

When the United States Navy sent director John Ford to Midway Island in 1942, he believed that the military wanted him to make a documentary on life at a small, isolated military...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/90de8563-9956-472e-b463-5b31c4846c9d/2600fa49-8763-44ac-9cfa-e0264bb3d7b8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iTyQ5AGGjtsHH2KDuPnTUR</video:player_loc><video:duration>1106</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T21:39:10.136Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2C6jSRUAKJV6ndN4jVaAog</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/04c37cb7-beb6-4dc4-a157-773dd54bc5b5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE FIGHTING LADY"   *RESTORED VERSION*  USS YORKTOWN IN WWII  EDWARD STEICHEN DOCUMENTARY 21154</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

His team including Raymond Lambert and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay reached a height of about 8,595 metres (28,199 ft) on the southeast ridge, setting a new climbing altitude record, opening up a new route to Mount Everest and paving the way for further successes by other expeditions.

In 1952, a Swiss expedition set out from Kathmandu, Nepal, to attempt the first ascent of Mount Everest from the south, carrying five tons of equipment. After a grueling 175-mile trek through rugged terrain, the climbers established a base camp 2.5 miles below the summit. With only 22 Sherpas continuing alongside them, they navigated the treacherous Icefall and ascended the 4,000-foot Lhotse face to reach the South Col ridge. As monsoon winds and freezing conditions closed in, the team made a final push toward the summit, battling exhaustion, brutal cold, and high-altitude challenges. Despite reaching over 28,000 feet—the highest point any human had reached—they were forced to turn back just 900 feet from the top due to a lack of oxygen and strength. Though the expedition failed to summit, it paved the way for future success, laying the groundwork for Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary’s historic climb the following year.

0:00 – The expedition begins in Kathmandu, Nepal, a city rarely visited by Westerners, where five tons of climbing equipment has arrived for an attempt to scale Mount Everest.

0:55 – From Kathmandu, the team embarks on a 175-mile uphill trek on foot to reach the Everest foothills.

1:17 – Previous expeditions since 1921 failed from the north via Tibet; this attempt will be the first from the south through Nepal.

1:40 – For three weeks, the expedition treks through remote terrain, drawing curious locals at each temporary camp.

2:23 – The team pays off over 300 porters, who now return home, while 22 expert Sherpas continue with the climbers toward Ever...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e89a0dd1-c512-410d-9cce-8753b150b6c3/9e8d1100-e83a-40a4-a30b-92ae51d95636-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uHV2ngCJAeeCQDZPyLLuUK</video:player_loc><video:duration>539</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-09T21:49:12.142Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>1952</video:tag><video:tag>Mount Everest</video:tag><video:tag>Tenzing Norgay</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pNZ61X23PfoeG5cvS2DsGg</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6b2d8bc6-10ce-4eed-8def-6bbb12d50fb0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PEOPLES OF THE PHILIPPINES  1940s TRAVELOGUE MOVIE PART 2 32054</video:title><video:description>Produced by Canadian Pacific, which operated a steamship line that serviced Manila, this color film shows stunning views of the Philippines pre-WWII. The movie was made during the American colonial rule by Richard and Elizabeth Hubert, who lived in Asia in the 1930s.

He brought his expert knowledge of Japanese life and culture to the Allied efforts to convince the Japanese to surrender. After the war he became executive director of the Greenwich Housing Authority. 

Part 3 of the film (the start) focuses on tribes of Northern Luzon. In particular the filmmakers were fascinated by the "warrior" character. The film also depicts people's typical activities by Philippine's ethnoliguistic groups (Kalinga of Northern Luzon, Maranao Moro of Lanao, and Tagalog of Manila and neighboring provinces ). At 5:00, Dansalan, Lake Lanao on Mindanao, market day is shown. At 9:00, the islands of the Sulu Archipelago are shown including the capital Jolo. At 13:16, a traditional wedding is shown. At 15:51 a Gamelon music is shown (too bad it is a silent film). At 21:00 a cock fight and a fiesta with a roast pig and folk dancing is shown.

At 9:30, various industries are shown including embroidery, sugar plantations, etc. At 15:00 the film switches to Northern Luzon with a focus on three rural tribes which the film labels as "pagans", including the Bontec Tribe, a feared war-like group of indigenous people who actively indulged in tribal wars with its neighbours until the 1930s. Every Bontoc male had to undergo a rites of passage into manhood, which may include head hunting, where the male has to journey (Sometimes with companions) and hunt for a human head. The Bontocs also used the jaw of the hunted head as a handle for its gongs, and as late as the early 1990s, evidence of this practice can be seen from one of the gongs in Pukisan, Bontoc. The town also hosts the UNESCO tentatively-listed Alab petroglyphs.

The film celebrates the use of Penicillin, which was up at this point one of the most important discoveries in medicine. It was discovered in 1928 by Scottish scientist Alexander Fleming as a crude extract of P. rubens. The purified compound (penicillin F) was isolated in 1940 by a research team led by Howard Florey and Ernst Boris Chain at the University of Oxford. Fleming first used the purified penicillin to treat streptococcal meningitis in 1942. For the discovery, Fleming shared the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Florey and Chain.

The film was likely made to promote the French Navy and demonstrate its return to greatness following the devastating losses of WWII. During the war many capital ships were destroyed by the Royal Navy and by the hands of its own sailors -- scuttled to prevent capture and use by the Germans. Here is the fleet as it appeared after considerable rebuilding, with ex-German and USA ships in use. The A461 Gustave Zédé (ex Kriegsmarine submarine tender Saar) is seen at  1:40 and 2:14, the light cruiser FS Georges Leygues is seen at 1:45, and the aircraft carrier Lafayette (R96) is seen at 2:03. Notably some of these shots were captured from a biplane, probably a naval observation aircraft.  At 2:18 the S612 Bouan (ex Kriegsmarine Type IXC U-510) submarine is shown, followed at 2:23 by what looks like an Aurore class sub probably S606 La Créole. At 2:31 the La Galissonnière-class cruisers Gloire (with the extra comms mast aft) and Georges Leygues are shown.

The École Navale, the French Naval Academy in charge of the education of the officers of the French Navy, is seen at 4:50 and following. The École Navale and its research institute (IRENAV) are in Lanvéoc-Poulmic, south of the roadstead of Brest. Life is shown aboard various ships including many aspects and duties of sailors from navigation, to electronic guidance, ship operation, etc. 

At 10:49 D601 Marceu (ex Kriegsmarine type 1936A destroyer Z31) is shown. At 13:50 a fleet visit to North Africa is shown, possibly Casablanca or Oran, with men of the Georges Leygues going ashore and exploring ancient marketplaces and marveling at local customs and inhabitants.

The aircraft carrier Lafayette shown conducting operations at 17:40 was an 11,000-ton Independence-class aircraft carrier that served the French Navy from 1951 to 1963.

The film opens with a brief history of the B-17, its birth in 1935 and its proven war record at Midway and the Philippines. However, the narration states, the B-17 has yet to prove itself over Europe. The time and range needed for a successful bombing raid were not available in the European theatre, some people thought. The film then switches to a dramatized mission over Europe, with a captain telling his pilots what to bomb and where. The film then follows them on their bombing raid and back. At the end of the film, the many successful raids of the bomber are recounted, as well as the numbers of Germans they have shot down. The B-17 in Europe was a "mission accomplished".

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engine heavy bomber developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). Competing against Douglas and Martin for a contract to build 200 bombers, the Boeing entry outperformed both competitors and exceeded the air corps' performance specifications. Although Boeing lost the contract because the prototype crashed, the air corps ordered 13 more B-17s for further evaluation. From its introduction in 1938, the B-17 Flying Fortress evolved through numerous design advances.

The B-17 was primarily employed by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) in the daylight strategic bombing campaign of World War II against German industrial and military targets. The United States Eighth Air Force, based at many airfields in central and southern England, and the Fifteenth Air Force, based in Italy, complemented the RAF Bomber Command's nighttime area bombing in the Combined Bomber Offensive to help secure air superiority over the cities, factories and battlefields of Western Europe in preparation for the invasion of France in 1944. The B-17 also participated to a lesser extent in the War in the Pacific, early...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/026812f1-d41c-43d3-ae26-b72502a34b86/9869f1f7-c548-4bfb-a9e3-c0120dc0ac20-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1ieFnLDseny9KMT8bCZgvQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>661</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T10:19:24.917Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6jcLQ27xY2j4jahzPq86FW</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/01397fed-a39c-4eed-bd11-565cdb754cd4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OSHKOSH TRUCK COMPANY CORPORATE HISTORY &amp; PROMOTIONAL FILM  33904</video:title><video:description>The dramatic theme music from “2001: A Space Odyssey” plays in the background as the Oshkosh Truck Corporation presents a brief history of the company. The narrator details the manufacturer’s humble beginnings in Wisconsin (mark 01:00) and we see still photographs from the company’s beginning in 1917. From there the film shows 4-wheel Oshkosh trucks in action on construction sites, in fields, and as plows that clear snow from roads. An aerial view of the company’s modern production facility is shown at mark 03:00 and a camera pans across the faces of some of its employees before the film again shows various trucks in action, all without narration. “The Oshkosh truck — a vehicle with greater dependability, higher performance, lower operating costs, and longer life,” the narrator concludes at mark 07:17.

Oshkosh Corporation, formerly Oshkosh Truck, is an American industrial company that designs and builds specialty trucks, military vehicles, truck bodies, airport fire apparatus and access equipment. The corporation also owns Pierce Manufacturing, a fire apparatus manufacturer. Based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the company employs 12,000 people around the world. It is organized in four primary business groups: access equipment, defense, fire and emergency, and commercial.

Founded in 1917 as the Wisconsin Duplex Auto Company, the company was created to build a severe-duty four-wheel-drive truck. After the first prototype was built, the company began to develop rapidly. This first four-wheel-drive truck, known today as "Old Betsy", is still owned by Oshkosh Corporation and housed in one of its assembly plants in Oshkosh. The vehicle still runs and is used frequently in demonstrations and parades.[4][5] The first mass-produced truck was the 2-ton Model A, with seven produced in 1918. The 3.5-ton Model B and 5-ton Model F followed. The Model TR, introduced in 1933, was a diversification for the company and was the first rubber tired earthmover ever built.

A narrator explains how a fledging United States looked to the sea after having expanded westward in the early 18th century. In 1830 the Navy established “The Depot of Charts and Instruments” (mark 03:00), designed as a “repository for knowledge.” Includes shots of a tall ship or clipper navigating through heavy seas at 2:20.  The film continues with a look at early seafaring missions which began developing additional tools for exploring the world’s oceans, as well as  creating wind and current charts. Matthew Maury, known as "Pathfinder of the Seas,” "Father of Modern Oceanography and Naval Meteorology,” and "Scientist of the Seas,” organized conferences to share oceanographic data (mark 05:10) and established the first astronomical observatory (the US Naval Observatory). Survey ships continued to add oceanographic data as the years progressed, until after World War I when airplanes (mark 07:17) began using hydrography (the science of surveying and charting bodies of water). By the 1920s, oceanographers developed methods to chart the oceans’ bottom, even though large swaths of the ocean remained unexplored as late as the 1940s, though hydrography was instrumental in various amphibious operations during World War II. The war also taught scientists about the lack of information on oceans and land masses. The decades that followed would see an increased devotion to studying the oceans, with the navy and private organization combing efforts. At mark 12:25 we see the USNS Silas Bent (T-AGS-26), a Navy survey ship that spent its entire career surveying the Pacific Ocean, and Sealab. At 13:40 the Argus Island is seen followed by the Bathyscaphe Trieste II and a series of submersible research vessels. The film continues with scenes of various oceanographic endeavors, and we learn how scientific devices can also be used for mili...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c7ca5da0-1483-4d87-9fdc-45a8d77996a5/f7904156-b72c-40d6-9eb3-0ccd747697ed-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qEVbywTKT1VZ4QG2wLzka8</video:player_loc><video:duration>1711</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T10:23:56.975Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9L9nqa1tqmCZbC7fnc5HJJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2b87a2eb-03af-45aa-9058-07863cacd7e1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"WINGS OF STEEL" UNITED STATES ARMY AIR CORPS RECRUITING FILM from 1941 87934</video:title><video:description>Produced by Warner Bros. in cooperation with the United States Army Air Corps and released in April of 1941, WINGS OF STEEL was directed by B. Reeves Eason from a screenplay by Owen Crump. It also features Herbert Anderson, Tom Neal &amp; Ralph Byrd.

Shot in Technicolor, WINGS OF STEEL tells the story of a sports champion (Douglas Kennedy) who is drawn to aviation to help his country in the war effort. The film features color footage of the B-17 at :41, and Stearman training planes at 1:18 and throughout. As a recruiting film, it shows a somewhat predictable view of the indoctrination of airmen as it was done on the cusp of WWII. At 4:57 the instructor says the famous line: "this men, is an airplane" !

At 8:30, basic maneuvering is shown with the Stearmans. At 15:19, P-40 Warhawks are seen at a basic training school at March Field in California. At 15:50, new B-17 bombers are also shown at March. At 16:00, LINK trainers are seen in use to teach instrument flying.

Continuous casting replaced ingot casting, the traditional method of working with a single iron ore batch from start to finish before starting a new batch. Equipment used to sit idle while other equipment was in use. Continuous casting increases efficiency and decreases energy consumption. Today, more than 90 percent of total steel production in the world is continuously cast. In continuous casting, throughout the pouring stage, the mold is continuously water-cooled to solidify the hot metal coming directly in contact with it. The mold oscillates vertically (or in a near vertical curved path) to prevent the metal from sticking to the mold walls. A lubricant is also added to the metal in the mold to prevent sticking, as well as to trap any non-metallic slag particles - including oxide particles or scale that may still be present in the metal.

The film opens at a United States Steel (USS) plant in eastern Pennsylvania where two furnaces provide an endless stream of molten steel (mark 01:05). The narrator explains how steel is carefully monitored during the process as US Steel continues to fine-tune the process, and as the film continues, offers the viewer a detailed, step-by-step explanation of the steel-making process. Some of the steel is shown undergoing quality-control inspections (mark 04:55) and watch how billets (a length of metal that has a round or square cross-section) are further processed via profile rolling and drawing. Steel rods are shown emerging from a furnace at mark 08:00 and onto a conveyor belt where they are cooled, and we later watch steel coils being mechanically compressed and banded (mark 09:40) before being sent to various USS wire mills.

That scene is followed by several other examples of aircraft catastrophes as helicopters and airplanes are shown diving to the ground. Amidst images of the wreckage, the narrator explains at mark 01:47 how military aircraft fatalities were first recorded in 1908 and continue to the modern day. Causes include inexperienced pilots and mechanical failure, we are told, and at mark 02:15 watch as pilots at Norton Air Force Base in  San Bernardino County, California, participate in a flying safety class. As they view crash footage, we learn how they are taught various skills needed to bring an aircraft down safely and keep accident rates low. The officers learn proper investigation techniques of a crash site as one of the instructors explains near mark 03:30 how “all of those broken parts need to be treated with a great deal of respect because they’re like fingerprints. They each have some sort of a story to tell.” As the film continues a medical officer explains how pilots can lose consciousness without any warning, and so pilots undergo rigorous training so their bodies can ward off such an event, as a pilot is shown being whirled about inside a human centrifuge at mark 05:05. The ultimate goal of the Flying Safety Program, we’re told at mark 06:35, is to save lives and avoid disasters. Such efforts have proven successful, the narrator continues, explaining that Air Force accident rates have dramatically decreases. Safety measures in the air are similar to safety measures on the ground — specifically in the handling of a motorcycle — with pilots shown out on a riding range at March Air Force Base in Riverside, California.

During the entire war the Norden was considered a top secret piece of equipment and normally when it was shown in training films, it was hidden behind a piece of canvas or otherwise "blacked out". This series of films provides a rare look at the operation of the bombsight as it was presented to bombardiers. 

The Norden Mk. XV, known as the Norden M series in Army service, was a bombsight used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) and the United States Navy during World War II, and the United States Air Force in the Korean and the Vietnam Wars. It was the canonical tachometric design, a system that allowed it to directly measure the aircraft's ground speed and direction, which older bombsights could only measure inaccurately with lengthy in-flight procedures. The Norden further improved on older designs by using an analog computer that constantly calculated the bomb's impact point based on current flight conditions, and an autopilot that let it react quickly and accurately to changes in the wind or other effects.

Together, these features seemed to promise unprecedented accuracy in day bombing from high altitudes; in peacetime testing the Norden demonstrated a circular error probable (CEP)[a] of 23 metres (75 ft), an astonishing performance for the era. This accuracy allowed direct attacks on ships, factories, and other point targets. Both the Navy and the AAF saw this as a means to achieve war aims through high-altitude bombing; for instance, destroying an invasion fleet by air long before it could reach US shores. To achieve these aims, the Norden was granted the utmost secrecy well into the war, and was part of a then-unprecedented production effort on the same scale as the Manhattan Project. Carl L. Norden, Inc. ranked 46th among United States corporations in the value of World War I...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b1e1485b-4515-40ee-b155-11386e202cf8/24a53b10-2841-491d-971e-113e34fe5619-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nXZxBK8ATwUN9qy6sawkSY</video:player_loc><video:duration>801</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T10:29:47.951Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qoY46gTge6s2guyRFoQz76</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/33586530-f160-4546-a1e9-d10d5f747b14.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BARRIER CRASH LANDING OF F-8 CRUSADER AIRCRAFT   80574</video:title><video:description>What you're looking at here is a 16mm film shot off of an aircraft carrier's on-board closed circuit television system. The film shows an F-8 Crusader making a landing pass at about :20 seconds, but the plane fails to catch the cable with its hook. The aircraft makes a go-around but apparently there is a problem. The crew then deploys the barrier system so that the aircraft can make an arrested landing, around 3:11 you can see them beginning to set it up. At 5:00 the entire deck crew is busy securing the barrier.  At 7:20 the barrier is up and the view returns to the deck POV of the sky, with the aircraft streaking in towards destiny. At 8:00 the aircraft hits the deck. Markings on the tail of the aircraft "NM" indicate it was likely part of CVG-19, Carrier Air Group 19, tail 50335, VF-191 "Satan's Kittens" although precise information is still needed.

This particular film serves as a detailed instructional guide for trainee bombardiers, focusing on how to use the Norden bombsight effectively to ensure accurate bomb delivery. It begins by emphasizing the critical role of bombardiers in hitting enemy targets and the importance of mastering both the mechanical operation of the bombsight and the mental skill of spatial visualization. The film explains how the bombsight uses gyroscopes to stabilize the telescope and calculate the range angle by measuring angular velocity, factoring in altitude, airspeed, and bomb type. Trainees learn to synchronize the crosshairs with the target using the rate knob while compensating for bomb trail and adjusting for wind drift. The course problem is addressed by teaching how to identify and correct drift using the stabilizer's horizontal gyro, and how to use the tilted optics to account for cross trail. The final takeaway emphasizes that, once initial settings are correct, the bombsight automates most of the calculations, and the bombardier’s main task is to manage just two controls: the course knobs and the rate knob.


0:30 – Trainees are shown aerial photographs of enemy targets, emphasizing their mission as bombardiers and the importance of their training.

1:23 – The accuracy of bombing depends on mastering the Norden bombsight and developing a strong spatial imagination, described as the “Bombardier’s Sixth Sense.”

During the entire war the Norden was considered a top secret piece of equipment and normally when it was shown in training films, it was hidden behind a piece of canvas or otherwise "blacked out". This series of films provides a rare look at the operation of the bombsight as it was presented to bombardiers. 

The Norden Mk. XV, known as the Norden M series in Army service, was a bombsight used by the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) and the United States Navy during World War II, and the United States Air Force in the Korean and the Vietnam Wars. It was the canonical tachometric design, a system that allowed it to directly measure the aircraft's ground speed and direction, which older bombsights could only measure inaccurately with lengthy in-flight procedures. The Norden further improved on older designs by using an analog computer that constantly calculated the bomb's impact point based on current flight conditions, and an autopilot that let it react quickly and accurately to changes in the wind or other effects.

Together, these features seemed to promise unprecedented accuracy in day bombing from high altitudes; in peacetime testing the Norden demonstrated a circular error probable (CEP)[a] of 23 metres (75 ft), an astonishing performance for the era. This accuracy allowed direct attacks on ships, factories, and other point targets. Both the Navy and the AAF saw this as a means to achieve war aims through high-altitude bombing; for instance, destroying an invasion fleet by air long before it could reach US shores. To achieve these aims, the Norden was granted the utmost secrecy well into the war, and was part of a then-unprecedented production effort on the same scale as the Manhattan Project. Carl L. Norden, Inc. ranked 46th among United States corporations in the value of World War II military...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/30f3978c-5c7c-4ee5-8af0-d25d07634ecb/e6280d5b-6119-4ad9-bedd-56cadeb2d300-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/73Aw3BTyyysXZcimUoK7wg</video:player_loc><video:duration>527</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T10:32:13.908Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2PnNHA38HgKK1UpcRhgyeV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bbcaea61-726e-4af2-bf50-2bc85f14a7ce.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BRITISH ARMY BUREAU OF CURRENT AFFAIRS   TROOP MORALE &amp; EDUCATION FILM 23694</video:title><video:description>This British Army film, adapted for use by the U.S. Army in 1942, examines the founding of the British Army Bureau of Current Affairs and its activities during the war. The Army Bureau of Current Affairs, or ABCA, was an organization set up by William Emrys Williams to educate and raise morale amongst British servicemen and servicewomen during World War II. Williams insisted - despite some controversy - on the right to education, in particular in current affairs, for servicemen and women, and so in mid-1941 Williams established the ABCA and ran it for the duration of the war. For this role, he became known as ABCA Bill.

The ACBA was a programme of general education for citizenship for servicemen and women: officers attended courses on conducting discussions groups, and these were started as hourly sessions each week. Such was the response that ABCA rapidly expanded resulting in photographic display; wall newspapers articles written by the men themselves; and an "Anglo American Brains Trust". The ABCA issued pamphlets in units and promoted discussions, for instance about post-war reconstruction and the Beveridge report. It met with resistance from Winston Churchill, who felt it was a poor use of military time.

The organization is generally regarded as a factor in the landslide Labour Party victory in the post-war general election in 1945, a charge that was refuted by General Ronald Adam, the Adjutant General, who had overall responsibility for the Bureau. Nonetheless, ABCA organizers and teachers predominantly seem to have been left-wing, as were the soldiers who attended the classes, and classes became dominated by discussion of nationalization and social justice. The service vote in the election that followed is said to have been the most dramatic reflection of the public mood, with as many as 80% of soldiers voting for the Labour Party according to some sources.

After the war and under the auspices of the Carnegie Trust, Williams transformed the ABCA into th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0eb688b0-aabe-4b55-a1bc-e803ed1ba2df/7a1ec9c4-25a2-41e1-9813-509c541725ad-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2PnNHA38HgKK1UpcRhgyeV</video:player_loc><video:duration>995</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T10:34:25.542Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qeup3RWx4TehYk639ZS7AK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/10f79ebe-e683-4f7f-95ae-a9bfb50a5b63.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY TECHNICAL TRAINING SCHOOL  MEMPHIS TENNESSEE RECRUITMENT FILM  81554</video:title><video:description>Made in the late 1960s by Wilding, this U.S. Navy recruiting film "BENEATH NAVY WINGS" begins with an anti-submarine warfare exercise. At :41, an enemy submarine is seen on the surface of the ocean. Above it flies a Lockheed P-2 Neptune, Maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft. The airplane prepares to make a sonobuoy run and successfully locates the hostile boat. Later, at 2:40, in the scenario that unfolds over the course of the film, the crew of the Neptune tries to return to base but suffers a mechanical issue -- their forward landing gear won't come down. 
At 4:10, the crew makes a low pass over a U.S. Navy control tower (staffed by a female air traffic controller). The controller verifies that the forward landing gear won't come down. Then, in a scene reminiscent of "Dr. Strangelove", a crew member braves the forward landing gear area to try to get the gear to go down.

The film then digresses to look at specialized Navy training schools throughout the USA, including the largest one in the nation, the Naval Technical Training School at Memphis, Tennessee. Here the specialists of the Naval air arm are trained. Various training is seen from fire fighting (9:01) to water survival (9:17), carrier deck safety (9:40), and aircraft operation (10:38). Academic and classroom book work are shown at 10:50. At 13:00, the film shows how Navy men also are suave and charming -- as one of the recruits gets to dance with the woman air traffic controller seen earlier (note the jukebox in the background). 

At 14:36, work with machines is shown and mechanical training and engineering. At 15:00, an airman gets trained in how to use an ejection seat, and at 15:18 metal work and refrigeration systems. 

At 16:30, plane hydraulic controls are examined by crew chief candidates. At 17:24 the instructor says, "There are two laws in aviation: the law of Gravity and Murphy's Law. The Law of Gravity states that what goes up, must go down. Murphy's Law states that if an airc...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c43d7f53-aef0-4bd0-9259-b98d065fc417/1ce18341-3582-48ee-b48a-2b30fe51c058-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qeup3RWx4TehYk639ZS7AK</video:player_loc><video:duration>1724</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T10:37:52.088Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>anti-submarine warfare</video:tag><video:tag>ASW</video:tag><video:tag>ASW Patrol Squadron 5</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bTeXDeSADusW4gv9jRTu8g</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c4f0db93-92e8-4bf3-a580-3825e7b1ac2d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SALLY RAND BURLESQUE SHOW AT STREETS OF PARIS EXHIBIT   CHICAGO WORLD'S FAIR 1933 54914</video:title><video:description>Created by famed cameraman Burton Holmes, this short newsreel shows the "Streets of Paris" exhibition at the Chicago World's Fair "A Century of Progress" in 1933. 

The risque nature of the exhibit is a bit dumbfounding to a modern audience, as it features a "nudist colony" and "live model" art class. However most of these appear to be sight gags of one kind or another. One sight that is something to behold is Sally Rand, who performs her famous fan dance at the exhibit. Supposedly this was one of Rand's first gigs, as the unemployed actress had sought a way to make a living and a "big splash." This one was heard round the world! Rand was later arrested and put on trial for indecency. Rand made the Streets of Paris one of the most profitable concessions at the fair.

As you can see, "Streets of Paris" reproduced streets of the Montmartre quarter, with a background of old walls and small cafes. According to a publicity brochure, it featured "seven novelty entertainments of the art student type. Cigarette girls, flower girls and other Parisian types add to the effect. In a special building is an exhibit of French wines and liqueurs..."

A modern parachute is seen at 1:00, "packed by government licensed experts." At 2:55 the rip cord is shown. At 3:00, a "pull off" jump is made from a biplane with the chute inflating in the air stream after the rip cord is pulled. At 3:20, free jumps from aircraft are shown. At 4:00, steering parachutes by the lines is demonstrated. 

At 5:00, a forced jump is shown after an airplane loses control (or does it? Probably just a stunt for the viewers). At 6:00, practice jumps are seen being made by a blimp, followed by a series of jumps. At 10:58 a new, more steerable model parachute is shown, with the parachutist landing on a horse racing track. At 12:44 a landing is made at Clover Field, California, with the Bach Aircraft Company hangar clearly visible in the b/g.

The film ends with a mass jump shown at 12:55, part of U.S. Army Air Corps training.

One of a series of newsreels directed at U.S. troops during the war, this Combat Bulletin consists of various segments. It begins with a reserve airbase on an island in Yugoslavia where damaged American aircraft are being repaired, and emergency landings are being made. Americans are shown meeting with Yugoslavian freedom fighters.

At 2:30, the film shifts to show some of the experimental activities of the USAAF including shatterproof oxygen tanks for aircraft. At 3:20, a U.S. version of the German V-1 buzz bomb is shown being tested at Wright Field in Ohio. This would be known as the Loon or  Republic-Ford JB-2, also known as the KGW and LTV-N-2. At 3:50 a test launch on one of the Great Lakes is shown (could also be at Pt. Mugu in California).

At 4:30, work is seen on the Burma Road where it connects to the Ledo Road on January 20, 1945. A nine-foot python is seen at 5:56. Chinese engineers are seen building culverts at 5:45, and bridges are seen under construction. 

At 6:52 the Ninth Army is seen in winter camouflage dress or "snow suits". At 8:11, a captured German artillery piece is used to blast German positions in Belgium. At 8:40, bazooka shells are used as improvised explosive devices, set off with flashlight batteries. At 9:13, an M-29 Weasel is shown laying communication lines. The M29 Weasel was a World War II tracked vehicle, built by Studebaker, designed for operation in snow

At 10:27, the M-24 Light Tank is shown operating in Germany. The Light Tank M24 is an American light tank used during the later part of World War II and in postwar conflicts including the Korean War and, with the French, in the War in Algeria and the First Indochina War. In British service it was given the service name Chaffee after the United States Army General Adna R. Chaffee, Jr., who helped develop the use of tanks in the United States armed forces.

This issue #223 begins with an historical look at the Berlin Air Lift and the USAF's crucial role in defeating the Soviet blockade. 

At 6:45, the film presents a look at the historical events of 1783 when the U.S. Constitution was created. 1983 was the 200th anniversary of the creation of the document. 

At 7:50, the film shows Air Force recruits being dressed down at a base in San Antonio, Texas as part of the beginning of indoctrination. The drill instructor is shown yelling in the faces of recruits. This is not the 1960s and the Vietnam War is in the past, so all the recruits are volunteers not draftees, so this is a bit of a "kinder, gentler" approach. At 10:40, women USAF recruits are shown. This is definitely *not* "Full Metal Jacket"! 

At 12:00, the Military Training Instructor School is shown, where future D.I.s are shown how to train recruits.

Malcolm, was one of two Pan Am pilots who flew some of the 600 evacuees out of Tehran. The film goes on to show Pan Am's historical activities in times of crisis, dating back fifty years to 1929 when Pan Am (then a fledgling airline) helped evacuate people from South Florida. A Pan Am Sikorsky S-48 seaplane is seen at 3:50, making one of the first air rescues on record. At 4:11, Santo Domingo is seen in the aftermath of a hurricane, with Pan Am aircraft bringing immediate aid. At 4:43, Managua, Nicaragua is seen after an earthquake in 1931. Doctors and nurses are seen arriving aboard a Commodore Flying Boat at Santiago, Cuba in 1932. A larger Pan Am flying boat is seen at 5:30.

With the outbreak of WWII (seen at 5:40), Pan Am aircraft were used as a vital link between Europe and America, carrying mail, medical supplies, and diplomatic material. At 6:30, airport development is seen in 15 countries. At 7:00, Pan Am equipment is seen in war livery, camouflaged for military service. Harry Hopkins, Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt all flew aboard Pan Am planes during the war, and made 18,000 ocean crossings. More than 200 employees lost their lives.

At 8:11, V-J Day celebrations are seen in Times Square. At 8:30, Pan Am's work during the Berlin Air Lift is seen. Over 2000 flights were made by Pan Am in this time. At 9:00, Pan Am Stratocruisers are seen shuttling equipment in support of the Korean War. At 9:20, Vietnam service is seen with 20 jets being used to fly personnel and mail across the Pacific.

Made in 1988 as the Soviet Union ended its long struggle in Afghanistan, this odd and haunting (and really -- experimental) Soviet era propaganda film "Afghanistan Dreams" traces some of the history of the Soviet invasion and looks at its aftermath. The film seems to be told from the perspective of a Russian soldier who survived the war but is haunted by some of what he saw in country. 

The film begins with images of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, which were boycotted by the United States in protest of the Soviet aggression in Afghanistan, and then segues to show a young man apparently undergoing a form of hypnotherapy. The man is a Soviet soldier who survived the war. At 3:10, images of Afghanistan and its people are shown, set to religious music, followed by a Russian tank moving across the landscape, and bizarre images from a nightmare. At 5:00, Soviet tank crews are seen in Afghanistan, and at 5:20 famous footage is seen of Russian troops of the 40th Army entering the nation. At 6:30, images of wounded are seen arriving in a hospital, and at 6:50 images of combat, with dead and wounded soldiers and a burning convoy. At 8:30, a religious leader from the Eastern Orthorodox church is seen as part of dream sequence. At 9:00, Soviet troops are seen distributing aid to civilians. At 10:00, a HIND helicopter is seen flying overhead as a rocket launcher shoots into the mountains. At 10:26, terrified Afghan civilians are shown, followed by an abandoned city block likely in Kabul. More images of devastation are shown as the soldier remembers what he saw in Afghanistan. At 13:40, more Soviet tanks are shown, and then at 14:00 Soviet troops in a winter landscape being indoctrinated. At 15:00, the mother of a deceased Russian soldier is seen. The troops are then shown marching at 16:15, into a seemingly endless winter. 

The Soviet–Afghan War lasted over nine years, from December 1979 to February 1989.

Number 3) is a 1944 American war documentary film directed by Frank Capra.  This dramatic documentary, an Armed Forces Information Film, was completed a year before the war's end. It is dedicated to the men of the United States Navy, a fighting organization which fulfilled a most significant role in bringing about the defeat of Japan. Following a valuable introduction describing the variegated Pacific islands and their denizens, effective use is made of film and graphics (many of them designed by animators at the Walt Disney Company) to describe the spread of Japanese military power from its base south to Australia, including the attack at Pearl Harbor, and provides excellent coverage of the methods used by members of the Allies, particularly the U.S., to prepare for counterattacks against Japan, bloodily advancing from island to island. Top-flight editing marks this work wherein all scenes are filmed by combat photographers, and although largely devoted to Naval/Marine achievements, the contributions of both the American Army and Army Air Force are highlighted as well, and scenes of the Jimmy Doolittle led bombing attack of Tokyo are particularly memorable.

Dating to the 1960s, this Soviet film shows some of the USSR's manned rockets and the Baikonur Cosmodrome in southern Kazakhstan. It was the world's first and largest operational space launch facility. The rocket shown appears to be of the Voshkod or Soyuz variety. At 1:30, the film discusses the difference between a rocket engine and an artillery shell and a jet aircraft engine.

At 2:11, cosmonauts arrive at the launch site. At 4:17, some cosmonaut training is seen using a High G-Force Centrifuge. At 4:58, the two cosmonauts are ready for launch. The launch takes place a short time later at 5:19. Telemetry tracks the rocket into space and animation shows the orbit of the capsule. Various types of orbits are explained. 

The presence of two astronauts indicates this may have been Voskhod 2, a Soviet manned space mission in March 1965.  The Voskhod rocket (Russian: Восход, "ascent", "dawn") was a derivative of the Soviet R-7 ICBM designed for the human spaceflight programme but later used for launching Zenit reconnaissance satellites. It consisted of the Molniya 8K78M third stage minus the Blok L. In 1966, all R-7 variants were equipped with the uprated core stage and strap-ons of the Soyuz 11A511. The Blok I stage in the Voskhod booster used the RD-107 engine rather than the RD-110 in the Soyuz, which was more powerful and also man-rated. The sole exception to this were the two manned Voskhod launches, which had RD-108 engines, a man-rated RD-107 but with the same performance.

The Soyuz (Russian: Союз, meaning "union", GRAU index 11A511) was a Soviet expendable carrier rocket designed in the 1960s by OKB-1 and manufactured by Stat...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b7d5dd52-0bb9-4b84-8faf-dea9c3732f35/37f96597-30cf-4ec8-bea7-3100a68a0784-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oGDqzxfybcHYWohJftnAfa</video:player_loc><video:duration>581</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T10:53:23.103Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/o9f3iGCkqMGAD4uM6LYegY</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7e634822-d9c4-4017-a74b-2228bf175edf.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>REPUBLIC OF TURKEY   ISTANBUL, ANKARA, BURSA  1950s TRAVELOGUE &amp; HISTORY FILM 54744</video:title><video:description>An Associated Film Artists Production directed by Karl Robinson, this 1950s European travelogue takes the viewer to Turkey. The film is aimed at American viewers and makes much of the fact that Turkey is an important U.S. ally. The film opens with a brief history of the country, referencing its strategic location and size, and goes on to focus on three major cities: Ankara, Istanbul, Bursa. At 2:30, a Swissair propeller airplane is shown leaving New York City for Turkey. Visitors are shown arriving in the capital city of Ankara at mark 04:35 as the camera takes in the sites of what was once an “unkempt village” but is now a thriving metropolis.Trains pass by (including old coal engines) as the narrator discusses the transportation and school systems. Women and children stroll through the marketplace at mark 08:15, visit hospitals and housing projects, and at mark 10:55 learn of “the complete emancipation of women” who in a short time emerged from complete isolation to roles in nearly every part of daily life — including participation in beauty pageants (mark 12:25). By mark 15:18 we arrive in the former capital, Istanbul, and see life in the bustling city as well as the Süleymaniye Mosque (mark 16:05) Sultan Ahmed Mosque, and Dolmabahce Palace (mark 19:00). The narrator goes on to discuss Turkey’s army and navy as well as the nation’s strategic location at the eastern end of the Meditteran Sea (mark 24:38) before launching into a discussion of recreational pursuits. Come mark 30:35, we visit Bursa and learn of its important role in the silk and tobacco industries.

It's all set to an amazing soundtrack!

The film begins with images of the Chernobyl disaster, with the ruined reactor building seen at :21 seconds, and the interior of the control room seen at :30. A radioactive release from the reactor has now occurred and the nearby city of Kiev needs to be alerted. At 1:30, an alarm sounds and children move indoors as part of the drill. Civilians move to shelters at 2:00, calmly and without panic. At 2:20, a housewife learns about the radioactive release and signals her children to come indoors. At 2:55, she shuts off the gas and electric appliances, seals the windows, and prepares food and documents for a quick evacuation. At 3:22, she and her children leave their apartment with masks over their faces. At 3:44, farm workers are alerted about the release and move quickly and calmly to a waiting bus for evacuation. At 4:20, they enter a fallout shelter. At 4:45, prophylactic doses of iodine are given to students in an attempt to prevent thyroid cancer. At 5:12, emergency response teams move out including men in full nuclear-biological-chemical suits. At 5:30, these men study radiation levels with geiger counters and report their findings. Meanwhile the radioactive cloud's movements are traced at headquarters.

At 6:30, an apartment dweller is seen sealing her windows against radioactive dust with wet cloth or napkins, and vents are also sealed. Decontamination can also be aided by putting down plastic sheeting. At 7:30, food supplies are moved into a shelter. At 7:50, a well is sealed against contamination by nuclear dust, with the bucket placed upside-down.

The film begins with images of statues, probably of Pharaoh Amenhotep III. At :50 some of the water works near the Nile River are seen, used to move water onto the fields. At 1:10 the Nile is seen followed at 1:21 by images of Cairo with its mosques and busy streets. At 1:35 a U.S. Navy ship is seen arriving in Cairo after a journey on the Canal. At 1:57 a steam locomotive is shown with a train arriving at Cairo, and the railway station is also shown. At 2:10 a motor car takes tourists through bustling streets. At 2:20, a donkey cart full of Muslim women is shown (the ladies apparently do not wish to be filmed judging from their gestures). At 2:41, a woman traverses the traffic lanes with a pot on her head. At 2:50 the Sphinx is seen and a camel ride is shown at 3:00 towards the Great Pyramid at Giza. At 3:50, sailors gaze from the heights of the Pyramid of Cheops. At 4:20, some "shady business" is shown with two sheiks having an argument over a cup of tea. (These men are counterfeiters of fake antiquities and sell them to foolish and gullible American sailors.) At 6:00, the pyramids are seen again with camels in front, and then a journey through the desert in search of "treasure". At 7:40 the "treasures" are uncovered including "diamond necklaces" and "Queen Hotlips" treasure. At 9:30 the men get back on their ship where they decide to hide their treasure in a gun. You can imagine what happens next.

Narrated by Lowell Thomas, the film opens with a jet in flight (mark 00:45) as the company is described as “the best there is in air travel.” Via an animated sequence we see the various parts of the planet to which World Airways travels before visiting the company’s center of operation — Oakland. A Boeing 707 touches down at mark 02:20 and heads to the hanger as Thomas describes its dedicated personnel as men and women with years of experience who are responsible for impeccable on-time and safety records. Maintenance crews go to work at mark 03:30 to ensure each aircraft is operating in perfect condition, including a visit to the “clean room” (mark 04:15) where employees are responsible for the care of instruments as well as a classroom where engineers continue their education to keep up with the latest developments. Airline hostesses undergo their own continuous training, and at mark 05:00 we watch as they attend a class at “World Hostess School.” After completing a course at the Patricia Stevens Charm School in San Francisco, Thomas explains at mark 05:32 that “these attractive girls rehearse the practical aspects of fine food, service, and pleasing people.” A focus on pilots is next at mark 06:00, men who help make air travel “safe, luxurious, and on time.” The film continues by showing aircraft arriving in such locales as Bermuda, Rio De Janeiro, Hong Kong, and London, where the film shows the viewer around each city. On a Hawaiian flight at mark 09:44, we watch as hostesses serve cocktails, hors d'oeuvre, and meals to well-dressed passengers before they touch down and are greeted by hula girls. The next few minutes takes the viewer on a tour of the islands before a list of “satisfied (corporate) customers” flashes on the screen and Thomas speaks of the single-minded dedication of World Airways employees. Come mark 15:47 we see some of the company’...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/295e953b-3d2b-4b54-9046-2b0d321c344e/333ce792-d52d-4c5f-96b0-0fca37e40790-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/67hVkdoGu52RZP6TZRJnYJ</video:player_loc><video:duration>1105</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T10:59:24.755Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qvF11wdBXar9FVqrabmLBh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/68dd4998-9d58-4820-97bd-8b040f01565d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GLIDING &amp; GLIDER HISTORY 1952 BRITISH FILM  PHILIP WILLS 53924</video:title><video:description>This British produced short film GLIDING featuring Leslie Welch (popularly known as the "Memory Man") and Brian Johnston. The film was produced in 1952 as part of the "Sports Page" series and looks at the sport of gliding. It shows glider construction, and piloting. The National Gliding Championships  (also known as the British Gliding Championship) of 1950 or 1951 are featured. The meeting took place in Darbyshire. The event included a 186-mile glider flight. At 4:30, Philip Wills is shown. Wills won the the Britannia Trophy, a British award presented by the Royal Aero Club for aviators accomplishing the most meritorious performance in aviation during the previous year. Wills' flight is shown in the Alps along a triangular course.

The film also shows Leonardo DaVinci's glider design, and some historical gliders in a museum in Germany. At 8:00, Leslie Welch makes his appearance on the show. At 9:29, the construction of gliders is shown, and at 11:30 the use of gliders in WWII is shown. Glider training of aviation cadets is seen at 12:50, with gliders launched by cable tow.

Philip Aubrey Wills CBE (26 May 1907 – 16 January 1978) was a pioneering British glider pilot. He broke several gliding records and was the 1952 Open Class World Champion. He remained a regular member of the British Team until 1958. He was second in command of the Air Transport Auxiliary during World War II. He was chairman of the British Gliding Association for 19 years and was awarded the CBE and the Lilienthal Gliding Medal for services to gliding.

As early as 1934 he was active in the affairs of the British Gliding Association (BGA), when he forced a change in its constitution to ensure that it represented gliding clubs, not a small number of individual members. He was Chairman of the BGA for 19 years until the members felt that a change was needed. However, during his period in office, his connections ensured that British gliding was able to regulate itself without much intervention fro...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c67fee8e-f9ee-4adc-a6c2-4d7b6b18d5ce/8beac3e2-b696-40f9-b2f2-ac09fe9eddd5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qvF11wdBXar9FVqrabmLBh</video:player_loc><video:duration>926</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T10:59:46.907Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iABkcsBnL4skQvviAD5xuC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/791e5b93-1f11-4f5e-8e45-de42f02e3a6d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1980s U.S. AIR FORCE TERRORISM &amp; TERROR ALERT FILM "The Real Threat"  54394</video:title><video:description>Made during the Cold War and long before 9-11, this U.S. Air Force film was made to instruct American personnel based in Europe about the threat of terrorism. The film includes footage from various incidents in the 1970s and 80s, including the bombing of Harrod's Department Store by the I.R.A. (1:00), an assault on the Queen's horseguard and an Army band by the I.R.A. (1:30-3:00), attacks in Paris (4:00), the attack on the U.S. Army barracks in Lebanon (5:238) and the killing of the president of the American University in Beirut, and more. The film attempts to explain the motivation of the terrorists, and presents an underlying message that vigilance is important, since U.S. personnel in Europe may be the targets of some of these attacks. 

At 3:30, Brian Michael Jenkins, an expert on terrorism, speaks on the subject. (During Jenkins' nearly four decades of analysis, he has advised governments, private corporations, the Catholic Church, and the Church of England on terrorist threats.)

At 5:50, a Georgetown professor named Michael Craig Hudson speaks about Islamic Jihad and its leader Hussein Masawi. (Hudson is currently the Director of the Middle East Institute and Professor of Political Science at the National University of Singapore. He is also Professor Emeritus at Georgetown University, where he was Professor of International Relations since 1979 and Saif Ghobash Professor of Arab Studies since 1980 in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service.)

At 6:45, Jonah Alexander speaks about state sponsored terrorism in particular the efforts of Iran. 

At 8:00, a hijacked Kuwait Airlines airplane is seen and the narrator talks about the Shiite hijackers. Any American serviceman who had been on a plane that was hijacked would obviously be at risk, is the message.

At 9:55, a bombing at the Munich beer gardens is seen, the result of neo-Nazi terrorism. Karl Heinz Hoffman, a neo-Nazi, speaks about his beliefs. 

At 10:48, FBI Director William Webster speaks about ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8e806b3c-df00-49ce-b7c0-040ea83d4cc8/792b60f1-e0d9-45cb-a835-1b1a5cf9696f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iABkcsBnL4skQvviAD5xuC</video:player_loc><video:duration>1026</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T11:01:48.403Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3nkX4xXd5uZ1okJD7KSb6q</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/218f32a7-295b-46b9-9a75-e8be378bd4bd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>LOWELL THOMAS 1940s DRIVER'S EDUCATION &amp; SCARE FILM "IT'S WANTON MURDER" 54834</video:title><video:description>Featuring esteemed broadcaster Lowell Thomas, "It's Wanton Murder" is a short produced by the American Transit Association sometime just after WWII. The film looks at increasingly bad toll that automobile accidents are taking on the American public. "Death," Thomas points out from the NBC Studios at Radio City Music Hall," does not exist in war alone." According to Thomas, casualties from bad car accidents each year far outnumber the amount of soldiers who died each year in World War II. As he says at 7:15, "this year traffic accidents will kill 40,000 living, breathing human beings...the entire population of Joliet, Illinois wiped off the map..." Thomas further states that one out of every 100 people in the USA will be injured or killed in a traffic accident in any given year.

To best exemplify this statistic at 1:08, Thomas reads a letter from an Army wife who describes worrying about her husband overseas. He returned without injury, but months later was killed in an accident (seen at 5:20) by someone trying to beat a red light. The veteran's lifeless body is seen at 5:46. 

Featuring high production values and searing dramatic scenes, "It's Wanton Murder" is somewhat unusual for the time, with brutal footage of actual car accident carnage included (seen at 7;00 onward). The overall message remains uplifting, as prevention, carefulness, and safety are paramount to living a healthy and happy life.

At 1:40, ships are seen in the Suez Canal along with imperialist oil tankers. At 2:00, the Suez Crisis is seen with its aftermath -- the canal closed to all traffic. 

At 2:30, primitive methods of farming are shown, along with pastoral images of the Nile River, some of the wildlife along its banks, and the farmland that benefits from its annual flooding.  At 4:13 a waterwheel is shown. At 6;25,  a hydroelectric dam is seen, one of several completed through the Soviet alliance. Most likely this is Aswan High Dam. Celebrations of its completion are shown and images of rushing water providing the lifeblood for agriculture at 7:50, as it enters a canal. At 8:16, modern farming equipment is shown along with a modern agricultural plant. End of Part 1. 

The Aswan Dam, or more specifically since the 1960s, the Aswan High Dam, is an embankment dam built across the Nile in Aswan, Egypt between 1960 and 1970. Its significance largely eclipsed the previous Aswan Low Dam initially completed in 1902 downstream. Based on the success of the Low Dam, then at its maximum utilization, construction of the High Dam became a key objective of the government following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952; with its ability to better control flooding, provide increased water storage for irrigation, and generate hydroelectricity the dam was seen as pivotal to Egypt's planned industrialization. Like the earlier implementation, the High Dam has had a significant effect on the economy and culture of Egypt.

Before the High Dam was built, even with the old dam in place, the annual flooding of the Nile during late summer had continued to pass largely unimpeded down the valley from its East African drainage basin. These floods brought high water with natural nutrients and minerals that annually enriched the fertile soil along its flood...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/452d4721-08dc-4c17-a845-065323639177/4f77e96d-b9de-4545-a664-b59e06e0a449-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9xs9kMRUq5aKGonQzmRv6Z</video:player_loc><video:duration>556</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T11:04:12.650Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ppw4qGEQN1gXRUhHcVE3dG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2ba553c7-8746-429a-80aa-ff42629b4897.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>СОВЕТСКИЙ ФИЛЬМ 1960-х ЕГИПЕТ НАШ АРАБСКИЙ СОЮЗНИК ЭПОХА НАСЕРА Часть 2 из 2 СУЭЦКИЙ КАНАЛ И КАИР</video:title><video:description>Созданный в 1960-х годах, когда Египет сблизился с Советским Союзом как союзник, этот документальный фильм начинается с кадров некоторых плотин и гидроэлектростанций, реализованных, возможно, благодаря альянсу.

MURROW &amp; JOHN WAYNE  COLD WAR DOCUMENTARY  THE CHALLENGE OF IDEAS 54724</video:title><video:description>“The Challenge of Ideas” is a 1961 film produced by the Defense Department’s Army Pictorial Center for showing to the US military. It dramatizes the Communist threat to American ideals and global aims as celebrities and media figures discuss the polarization of politics between the Western Allies of the United States and the Soviet bloc, pointing out the need for vigilance and action to protect democracy in the US and abroad. The film is introduced by Edward R. Murrow, the former CBS journalist who in January 1961 became head of the U.S. Information Agency, who is seen sitting behind his desk, smoking, while images of the military roll by. “Americans are overseas to help preserve the peace,” Murrow says at mark 01:48, but are also abroad to protect against enemy aggressors. “The Communist bloc would like to see the entire world under Communist domination,” he warns at mark 02:42, but prefers propaganda to actual warfare. This film serves as its own piece of Cold War propaganda as celebrities offer speeches defending the American way of life and capitalism while denouncing the Soviet Union. John Wayne sits in a director's chair at mark 04:38, talking about how Americans appreciate "beauty" while images of female wrestlers, beauty queens, and women on the beach are shown, in addition to national monuments such as the Thomas Jefferson Memorial (mark 05:55), a gravesite in Tombstone, Arizona, and Mount Rushmore, while at one point a choir sings “Glory, Glory” (mark 06:46). More scenes from around Washington, D.C. continue to fill the screen as Wayne speaks, followed by images taken at worship services, folks square dancing, factory assembly lines, and schools. We learn of the “policy statements” of each branch of the armed forces before Murrow points to a world map to discuss the spread of Communism since the end of World War II (mark 14:30). There are battle scenes from Communist takeovers around the world, as Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev is shown at mark 18:22. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8be82fa1-ac6f-4fbe-8a2c-f9c795bc7166/cb4bcfc2-a63b-4fd3-9743-ea70df023bd2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ih2vosbXbFBKabRYvVjiRG</video:player_loc><video:duration>1836</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T11:07:14.299Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cYG2khBZ7QwYB7MQBRdR2R</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/72e92289-6422-4564-9a19-f09f22e85fb4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CURTISS AIRCRAFT SB2C HELLDIVER   U.S. NAVY DIVE BOMBER INTRODUCTION FILM 23544</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Made during WWII by Curtiss, this film was created to introduce U.S. Navy pilots to their new SB2C Helldiver, a carrier-based dive bomber aircraft produced for the US Navy. Due to the advent of air-to-ground rockets, the SB2C was the last purpose-built dive bomber produced. The aircraft was one of the more maligned planes to be put into production, and developed a bad reputation in early service. While manufacturers produced many similar films during the war, one has to wonder whether this particular film was part of a concerted p.r. effort by Curtiss to save their reputation. The aircraft flew successfully through the last two years of the war, but the Helldiver's reputation coupled with a scandal involving defective aircraft engines produced in 1941-43 seriously crippled Curtiss. 

The film begins with pilots watching as the aircraft is put through its paces and press the pilot for “the dope” on the Helldiver once he lands. At mark 01:50 we see the plane on the runway as the narrator explains how it it a multi-faceted machine that can develop torpedoes or depth bombs, and can be used on aircraft carriers or land-based squadrons. Engine specifics are discussed beginning at mark 02:04 and as the film continues we learn of its various design components from wheels to bomb bays. Start-up procedures are covered at mark 04:00 and we receive a detailed look of every switch and lever inside the cockpit, and every contingency involving fuel and oil pressure (mark 06:30). As the first US Navy dive bomber equipped with hydraulic folding wings, the film takes care in explaining their operation starting near mark 06:50. Pilots demonstrate proper take-off procedures starting near mark 08:00 with the camera carefully following gauges and levers are they are described. The pilots review proper procedures for aircraft carrier take offs, which vary slightly from land-based procedures (mark 13:45) before climbing away f...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/60fed766-ee07-4915-883a-cc4a5ae65b9f/780e792a-ae65-4b07-81c7-460f313417b9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cYG2khBZ7QwYB7MQBRdR2R</video:player_loc><video:duration>1943</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T11:07:42.238Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/gfTdExFtNN2MAVf3J7FMpf</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/72519f40-941d-4fa0-a652-1d616e80311e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>RED SQUARE MOSCOW 1970s TRAVELOGUE w/ KREMLIN, ST.

The film shows the process by which the public sees that a new Pope has been selected -- through the white smoke emitting from the chimney. It then shows the coronation at St. Peter's Square at 3:58, followed by the Papal blessing at the end of the film.

Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli was the fourth of fourteen children born to a family of sharecroppers who lived in a village in Lombardy. He was ordained to the priesthood on 10 August 1904 and served in a number of posts, including papal nuncio in France and a delegate to Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey. In a consistory on 12 January 1953 Pope Pius XII made Roncalli a cardinal as the Cardinal-Priest of Santa Prisca in addition to naming him as the Patriarch of Venice.

Roncalli was elected pope on 28 October 1958 at age 76 after 11 ballots. His selection was unexpected, and Roncalli himself had come to Rome with a return train ticket to Venice. He was the first pope to take the pontifical name of "John" upon election in more than 500 years, and his choice settled the complicated question of official numbering attached to this papal name due to the antipope of this name. Pope John XXIII surprised those who expected him to be a caretaker pope by calling the historic Second Vatican Council (1962–65), the first session opening on 11 October 1962. His passionate views on equality were summed up in his famous statement, "We were all made in God's image, and thus, we are all Godly alike." John XXIII made many passionate speeches during his pontificate, one of which was on the day that he opened the Second Vatican Council in the middle of the night to the crowd gathered in St. Peter's Square: "Dear children, returning home, you will find children: give your children a hug and say: This is a hug from the Pope!"

Pope John XXIII did not live to see the Vatican Counci...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/99e7116d-fdda-410d-9a08-5aa950a2377f/86eb1bcb-2d9d-4148-92ad-4b449053bca3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/k1giQe9gGU4hyoziHk7x8e</video:player_loc><video:duration>492</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T11:07:47.166Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Pope John XXIII</video:tag><video:tag>ST.

With a jazzy soundtrack, the film reminds its viewer that signs can’t be everywhere that danger might appear so it’s up to employees to remain vigilant on the job and to think ahead. Forklift operators are shown going about their daily routines in the opening minutes of the film and at mark 02:00 uses a coloring book-inspired animation sequence to show what dangers might be labeled “red” if possible — “places where the worst might happen if the operator was not alert.”  From faulty steering to a general disregard for safety, the film unfolds to show different potentially dangerous scenarios as an operator crashes into a temporary streamline (mark 03:20). Keeping the forks low and gaining clear sight lines, even it means traveling in reverse, are signs of cautious operators, the viewer is told, before looking at other “color of danger” scenes starting at mark 04:30 as an operator proceeds too quickly and with an obstructed view. More cautious operators are again shown testing their brakes and using extra caution when removing a load from a great height (mark 08:45) — though as is shown sometimes accidents will happen. Although forklifts are capable of carrying great weights, they are not designed to carry passengers, the narrator says at mark 09:15 as two workers jump onto the forks for a free ride … to danger … as they collide with another operator and are thrown to the ground. Less than a minute later, an office worker walks into raised forks after flirting with an operator. “This is a great way to cool a beautiful friendship,” deadpans the narrator as “blood” streams from the girl’s face (mark 10:00). Driving while emotionally compromised or on slick surfaces can also be recipes for disaster if not approached with added caution, we are told, as is traveling with too many loads on a lift (mark 13:30).

It was narrated by Walter Huston and produced by the US War Department and Signal Corps to solidify Anglo-American solidarity within the ranks as well as counter Nazi propaganda. The film shows several peculiarities about Britain, but contends that when it comes to topics that matter such as democracy, freedom, and resistance to Nazism the British and Americans look eye to eye. It also defends Britain’s Empire, by arguing that mainland Britain has lost disproportionately more soldiers and that those fighting from the colonies did so voluntarily.

The film begins by showing how hate speech and anti-immigrant ideas fomented terror not only in abroad, but created an environment in the USA where racism and marginalization was tolerated. At 3:12, a KKK rally is seen in the USA, and at 3:22 the tract "The Bloody Trail of Romanism" is seen being printed. (This anti-Catholic book examined the Albigenses, Waldenses, Huguenots, as well as of the Inquisition, the Crusades and Rome’s bloody trail through the centuries.) At 3:30, a man speaks about America being for "whites" and "Anglo-saxons". At 3:47, a man says "Hitler has the right idea" and at 3:57 a man, probably Jewish, is denied a job and sees that many want ads are for "Anglo-Saxon" and Christian applicants only. This is contrasted with the ideas of the Founding Fathers and Abraham Lincoln.

At 4:49, a Rabbi, a Catholic priest and a Protestant minister share the microphone and state their mutual admiration for one another and the American way of life. At 6:10, children are shown being educated to embrace tolerance. At the Institute of Human Relations at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, men and women educators are seen gathering to present ideas about the moral character of "The World We Want to Live In" with an emphasis justice, liberty, citizenship and charity. The film ends with a montage of a Jewish synagogue, Christian church, Lutheran church, and images of African-American and Asian American students in a classroom with white students.

The film begins with coverage of the 9th Army as it drives across Belgium from Aachen towards Germany. The German cities of Linnich and Juelich are shown. At 1:00, the drive towards Antwerp is shown, with the port itself in ruins due to the work of retreating Germans. American engineers are seen busy working with British and other workers to restore the port to full operation. At 3:00, gun camera footage is shown of Allied planes striking German infrastructure including railroad trains and yards, bridges, and aircraft. At 3:40, a segment about malarial control on the island of Corsica using DDT and other means. At 5:30, DDT and oil are seen being sprayed to stop mosquitoes. An A-20 bomber is seen on Corsica dropping Paris Green for insect control (quite a big crop duster). Paris green (copper(II) acetate triarsenite or copper(II) acetoarsenite) is an inorganic compound. It is a highly toxic emerald-green crystalline powder that has been used as a rodenticide and insecticide, and also as a pigment, despite its toxicity. It is also used as a blue colorant for fireworks. The color of Paris green is said to range from a pale blue green when very finely ground, to a deeper green when coarsely ground.

At 7:10, a wrecked B-29 is seen at an advance base in China. This crash resulted in 10 fatalities, with only the tail gunner escaping with his life. At 7;50, Japanese phosphorous anti-aircraft shells are shown, first as they would appear to aircraft, and then a captured shell is disassembled and shown in detail. 

At 9:54 the capture of Bhamo along the Burma Road is seen. Wreckage from the retreat of British and Chinese forces from 1942 is see along the road as Allied forces advance against the Japanese. Cargo aircraft are seen making supply drops at 11:00. At 12:00, elements of the 35th Division and free Chinese troops are seen moving against the Japane...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6ca6529c-0d44-4e04-aecb-ab3606303ac1/02873007-cc36-4b18-866a-00943c13c1f2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/eqacAqZ7adEC7EwrACntik</video:player_loc><video:duration>812</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T11:14:44.546Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t6MofGLQecPwQkZ4sbEkLt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ca02246a-3137-4c18-b8d4-0c62448150a4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>GOODYEAR AIRCRAFT IN WORLD WAR II   K-CLASS BLIMP  BARRAGE BALLOONS  TIRES  54704</video:title><video:description>This circa 1942 Goodyear Aircraft black-and-white newsreel opens cold with footage of a US Navy K-class blimp (K-3) emerging from a hanger for a trial flight as the narrator explains how the airship is meant to patrol coastlines as a watchful eye against enemy attack. The airship heads skyward near mark 01:00 as naval and Goodyear personnel watch and the narrator explains how it can be used to look for “any enemy that menaces our shipping or our men of war.” The narrator goes on to describe the airship as “distinctively Goodyear” as the naval vessel maneuvers past a Goodyear blimp at mark 01:30. At this point the building of a bomber and airplane plant in Goodyear, Arizona is seen. Goodyear was established in 1917 with the purchase of 16,000 acres (65 km2) of land by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company to cultivate cotton for vehicle tire threads. World War II was important to Goodyear in the 1940s as the current Phoenix Goodyear Airport was built, but after the war, the economy suffered. Goodyear became a town on November 19, 1946. At the time, it had 151 homes and 250 apartments, a grocery store, a barber shop, beauty shop and a gas station. At mark 02:50 we see footage titled “Building Barrage Balloons” and are taken to a Goodyear facility in Akron, Ohio, where they are made, and at mark 03:39 visit the “Goodyear Coal Mine” in Cadiz, Ohio. After following the coal mining process, the film continues with “The Dixie Plant” at mark 06:46 where employees enjoy some fishing in an employee-made lake and golfing on an employee-made green until mark 08:20 when we learn about “Balloon Houses” — as a Goodyear balloon form is used to create a house in Washington, DC.

POINT CONTROL OF TRAFFIC 53934</video:title><video:description>This post-WWII film explains movement control, and the point control of traffic by transportation officers and military police. As the narrator explains, since a modern Army involves many mechanized vehicles, the MP and the movement of traffic are essential for victory. Various scenarios including blackout conditions, combat conditions, and rear area traffic control are mentioned. The film shows techniques of military vehicle traffic control at intersections, bridges and problem areas.

A traffic control point (TCP) is a designated spot on the ground or road network--in a static garrison type environment--where Military Police control the traffic flow. The three goals in point control of traffic are orderly movement of traffic in accordance with traffic control plans, no unnecessary traffic delays and minimum essential control methods. These goals should be accomplished with maximum use of traffic control devices, relieving MPs of this duty when possible.

The film focuses on the environmental effects of farming and looks towards a future where the land is taken care of through knowledge and stewardship. The film focuses in part on the work of government officials who are working to educate sharecroppers and rural farmers in new techniques such as crop rotation, that enrich the soil. The film also discusses other methods of soil conservation and erosion control, and mentions new crops that are being grown in the South in place of traditional ones. The film also shows animal husbandry with sheep and cattle, including dairy cows, raised on family farms. 

Most of the film was shot in Mississippi, and as you'll (at 11:20) the state was still being electrified at this time. 

At 13:00, the raising of pine trees is seen, and a reforestation program led by county agents and the U.S. Forest Service. The trees are used to produce turpentine and lumber, and the film shows how the trees are processed in a saw mill at 13:30. 

At 15:20, suburban communities are seen sprouting up, including low cost housing. The model town of Laurel, Mississippi is seen at 16:00, home to the lumber industry and a huge cotton mill. The cotton industry is shown in the remainder of the film.

This fascinating film shows the procedure used to sort air cadets and guide them towards positions as pilots, navigators and bombardiers based on their aptitude. To make the selections the Air Corps devised a series of tests, many of which are seen in the film. These included agility and mental fitness tests using electronic equipment, medical checks, stress tests, and written exams to reveal language, math and technical skills.  There were so many recruits to process that some tests (seen at the 7:30 mark) even utilized early computers and electronic scoring. At the end of the film a commander talks about how not ever air recruit can become a pilot, while explaining how important it is to serve as an air crewman. This reveals the real purpose behind this film: to psychologically prepare air recruits for the possibility that they might not become a pilot.

The featured vessel is the SS Anchor Hitch, which in addition to a cargo hold had 12 passenger staterooms aboard. The film shows the Anchor Hitch operating in the Pacific, on the way to South America. Many of the activities of the crew are seen including navigation, engine operation, radio contact, etc. At 2:50, the ship's radio antenna and directional radio system is shown being operated by a crew member. At 3:40, radar is shown in operation. At 11:50, a lighthouse is seen guarding the entrance to a harbor.

Not much is known about the SS Anchor Hitch but it was apparently built by the United States Maritime Commission and considered a C1-M-AV1 type, designed for short coastal runs. This class including 65 ships designated Alamosa class for Navy "island hopping" in the Pacific.  The C1 types were the smallest of the 3 original types designed by the United States Maritime Commission and were intended to be used on routes that did not call for fast ships. 173 were built between 1940 and 1945. Both the  C1-A and  C1-B were built with either steam geared turbine or diesel motors.

“Flying Fun” is a 1960s color film created by the Cessna Aircraft Company to promote aviation and aerobatics. The first 90 seconds of the film features scenes of a Cessna in action in the sky before the narrator explains at mark 01:50 how pilots are constantly looking for excitement in the air and can find it via such aircraft as the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, Silver Eagle, or Gull, nearly becoming capable of imitating the free-flight of a bird. We are introduced to Mary Akins (mark 02:22), the US Women’s Aerobatics Champion, and Don Pittman (mark 02:28), the men’s champion, who are shown chatting as the narrator explains the premise behind aerobatics (including the idea that “it’s just plain fun”). In flight at mark 04:00, Pittman demonstrates various rolls and maneuvers, while back on the ground Atkins explains how a Cessna is a perfect plane for a pro or an average pilot (mark 07:52). A Cessna executive discusses an aircraft’s design and structural features with the pilots (and by proxy the audience) starting at mark 08:24 before Pittman is shown in flight once again (mark 11:11), treating the viewers to additional aerobatic moves before the film comes to a close. 

The Cessna 152 is an American two-seat, fixed tricycle gear, general aviation airplane, used primarily for flight training and personal use. It was based on the earlier Cessna 150, including a number of minor design changes and a slightly more powerful engine running on 100LL aviation gasoline.

First delivered in 1977 as the 1978 model year, the 152 was a modernization of the proven Cessna 150 design. The 152 was intended to compete with the new Beechcraft Skipper and Piper Tomahawk, both of which were introduced the same year.[1] Additional design goals were to improve useful load through a gross weight increase to 1670 lbs (757 kg), decrease internal and external noise levels and run better on the then newly introduced 100LL fuel.

The 19th Annual Conference was held this year in Louisville, Kentucky. Reagan's full remarks can be read at this website: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=41540

President Reagan begins this way: "This country was built with the sweat and determination of hard-working men and women who, like many of you, love to work with their hands as well as their minds. Your forerunners were America's link between our dreams and reality. They were the people who transformed this continent into one of the wonders of the modern world. ... But in this country, we have no patent on greatness. There is no guarantee that "made in America" will always mean made the best. ... Each generation must feel the spur of competition, share the commitment to excellence, and receive the rewards for a job well done. ...We should see that all our young people get a good grounding in English and literature, history, math, science, and the other basics. But we must also recognize that our vocational classrooms are just as important as any other. And we should insist that the vocational courses we teach prepare this generation with the skills they need for real jobs."

SkillsUSA was originally known as the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA). Prior to 1965, attempts at creation of national skill organizations failed. There was still a demand for skill and trade organizations, however. In 1960, the American Vocational Association (AVA) held a meeting, where a committee was formed to facilitate a solution. Representatives from the U.S. Office of Education and the National Association of State Supervisors of Trade and Industrial Education (NASSTIE – now known as the Association for Skilled and Technical Sciences – ASTS – http://www.astsonline.org) formed the committee. By 1962, the AVA encouraged the Office of Education to hire an employee to ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/641f2058-df88-4751-8df3-6d02393cac3d/329b06b7-38b3-4461-b63c-1b71249a5acb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dn5BAky7hWet4Q6YSkMXNv</video:player_loc><video:duration>492</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T11:26:45.253Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/dd8N7S3NBnD8KFUZPdzdpm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6d816742-6e14-4b68-a6d0-07cce480020f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. ARMY COMBAT INFANTRY RECONNAISSANCE PATROL 1951 TRAINING FILM  26914</video:title><video:description>Made in 1951 by the U.S. Army to train combat infantrymen during the Korean War, RECONNAISSANCE PATROL shows the organization of a nighttime patrol behind enemy lines, made to gather intelligence on enemy positions. The objective of the patrol is also to capture an enemy soldier so that he can be interrogated. 

Told from the perspective of the commander, the film explains in great detail how the patrol is organized, equipped, and how the soldiers conduct themselves during the mission. Soldiers move slowly and deliberately, trying to keep themselves hidden from the enemy. At 9:10, a friendly artillery strike is made that allows the squad to cross a river in rubber dinghys while the enemy is distracted. At 14:50, the squad uses red-lensed flashlights to communicate with each other. The squad gains valuable intelligence while spying on a sentry post near "hillside village". 

At 17:30, an enemy soldier who was attempting to go to the bathroom in the wood is captured by the squad. The squad's interpreter explains to the soldier that if he wants to live, he needs to cooperate. The squad then begins a slow retreat from enemy territory, recounting its steps, re-crossing the river, and making its way back to friendly lines.

Dating to 1954 and directed by O. Negus, LAUGHING PEOPLE tells the story of the Maori people in Australia and New Zealand. The film includes impressive footage of traditional tribal dances, customs and rituals, as well as studies of everyday life as it was lived (likely in the 1940s although some of the material appears historical and may have originated elsewhere).

The Māori are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. The Māori originated with settlers from eastern Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of canoe voyages at some time between 1250 and 1300 CE. Over several centuries in isolation, the Polynesian settlers developed a unique culture that became known as the "Māori", with their own language, a rich mythology, distinctive crafts and performing arts. Early Māori formed tribal groups, based on eastern Polynesian social customs and organisation. Horticulture flourished using plants they introduced, and later a prominent warrior culture emerged.

The arrival of Europeans to New Zealand starting from the 17th century brought enormous changes to the Māori way of life. Māori people gradually adopted many aspects of Western society and culture. Initial relations between Māori and Europeans were largely amicable, and with the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, the two cultures coexisted as part of a new British colony. Rising tensions over disputed land sales led to conflict in the 1860s. Social upheaval, decades of conflict and epidemics of introduced disease took a devastating toll on the Māori population, which fell dramatically. By the start of the 20th century, the Māori population had begun to recover, and efforts have been made to increase their standing in wider New Zealand society and achieve social justice. Traditional Māori culture has enjoyed a revival, and a protest movement emerged in the 1960s advocating for Māori issues.

The film explains how the USA came to rely on its Latin American and South American neighbors for aid during the war, in the form of vital raw materials. With rubber supplies from Indonesia cut off, and even hemp for rope in short supply, the USA had to look elsewhere for materials. Nations like Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Brazil and other republics provided quinine, natural rubber, nitrate, quartz, sisal rope, tin, industrial diamonds, wood, mahogany, cotton, arsenic for insecticides, and manganese. The film contains images from throughout Mexico, Central and South America of mines, agriculture, industry.

At 9:18, Major General Harold L. George, head of the Army Transport Command, speaks about the vital importance of "our friends and neighbors in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean cannot be revealed until after the war ... " but is very important to the success of the Allies.

The film shows scenes from real life ejection scenarios and interviews with pilots who have made emergency ejections to help emphasizes the importance of making timely ejection decisions. Here, psychology is important, as escape technology cannot make up for the fact that pilots can make poor decisions about leaving an out-of-control aircraft.

The film starts with footage of an F-4 Phantom in a deadly spin, forcing the air crew to eject from the plane. An officer from the Air Force Inspection and Safety Center explains at mark 01:50 that the decision when to eject from an out-of-control aircraft could mean the difference between life and death. From 1949 to 1980, we are informed via a pie chart that there were 4,626 ejections — 82% of them success. Yet from 1976 to 1980 the survival rate had fallen (mark 02:25) due to delayed ejection. A horrific accident involving an F-100 fighter jet careening out of control is seen at 2:40. At 3:30, POV footage from inside an aircraft as an ejection occurs is shown. The ACES II Ejection Seat is seen at 3:48. As the film continues we see numerous crashes, look at the design of an ejection seat, and review statistics on fatality rate by altitude (mark 04:42). The training film continues with detailed narratives on ejection scenarios and archived combat footage from the Vietnam War (07:15) followed by a look at statistics on 1967-1973 combat and mishap ejection survival rates. In peacetime, we are told at mark 07:50, that there seems to be an increase in delayed ejections including failed attempts to gain altitude and lack of confidence in the ejection system. At mark 09:15, a pilot offers a first-hand look at what it’s like to eject from an aircraft as his F-4 lost all hydraulics and started taking an uncontrolled bank. At 11:00, a female pilot who was flying as a student recounts having to eject from ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9de5e12c-2449-41e0-821a-167b27069b1b/ee562c7c-ee85-40fa-b618-7e6a855fffdc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kuSZ2iywPRLHUasf9Di8mx</video:player_loc><video:duration>1326</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T11:35:20.156Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wJLk339Esci5xijdVx629t</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2523597e-879b-4e03-a94e-6dcc9d5fe9e7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  JAPANESE INVASION OF CHINA   1927 LOUVRE MUSEUM  53484</video:title><video:description>This episode of the “Yesterday’s Newsreel” — an early TV show that used footage from the defunct General News library — offers the viewer “television highlights of the news of yesteryear” by providing vintage clips of famous people and events from the first half of the 20th century. This episode opens with “The Japanese-Chinese War” of the 1930s (mark 00:32) and scenes of combat footage and a look of Japanese advancement including one on the Great Wall of China (mark 01:35) as well as Shanghai (mark 04:30). The narrator boasts China’s resilience, however, and as Chiang Kai-shek, leader of Republic of China, is shown at mark 05:00, we are told how “the ultimate fate of China remains a mystery.” Mark 05:15 takes the viewer to the Louvre in 1927 (mark 05:23) and a discussion of the painting’s 1911 theft, as well as the creation of multiple copies and whether Leonardo Da Vinci’s original resides in the museum. The personalities of 1924 are visited at mark 06:06 including author Arthur Conan Doyle and “the American Sherlock Holmes” William J. Burns during a visit to New York City, silent film cowboy William S. Hart, and Ethel Barrymore Colt (daughter of Ethel Barrymore). Come mark 07:30 the film looks at Sgt. Alvin York, one of the most decorated US Army soldiers during World War I and a Medal of Honor recipient, at home in Tennessee, and at mark 08:43 looks at 1926’s “Fashions of the Day.” A look at 1920’s aviation comes at mark 09:45 with a gigantic biplane inaugurating the Brussels to Paris route -- possibly the first airline passenger service in the world -- while mark 10:20 takes the viewer to 1926 and a look at Frank Morley, a Harvard University student who was a member of the British Oxford-Cambridge lacrosse team, and a University of Southern California football game versus the University of California.

Decidedly anti-war, and cautioning about the risks of the arms race and nuclear war, the film tries to take a firm moral stance against the West and the corrupt and morally bankrupt United States, which is painted as an aggressor. Even from the moment WWII came to an end. as it says at 6;10, General Eisenhower "already had Truman's order to prepare for an atomic war against its ally the USSR".  The film recounts the horrors of WWII, including scenes of concentration camps at the 2:50 mark. Hitler's assault on the USSR is seen at 3:00. At 3:38, Russian troops arrive in Berlin and the war in Europe ends. At (5:00), the aftermath of Hiroshima  a "horrible atomic nightmare" is shown including images of the dead and wounded. At 6:30 the Korean War is shown, followed by the "dirty war" of Vietnam (6;50), where American atrocities are compared to those of the Nazis. At 7:45, North Vietnamese celebrations are seen in Saigon. At 8:09, anti-Vietnam war protests are seen in Washington, D.C.  At 8:20, the film quotes George Washington warning that " a country which cultivates hatred towards another, becomes a slave of its own hostility". Against this President Ronald Reagan is shown being sworn into office.  At 8:53, images of New York are seen and the narrator intones that America is a "smoldering racial volcano". Images of riots are seen along with the Ku Klux Klan KKK at 9:25. At 9;40 the funeral of John F. Kennedy is seen and at 9:58, the assassination attempt against Ronald Reagan is shown.  "Washington also exports violence to other countries..." the film says, showing how NATO's military bases encircle the USSR.At 11:25, Howard AFB in Panama is seen, along with Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. At 12:00, Europe is  "overstuffed with rockets and nuclear weapons". The film speculates about how a 20 megaton nuclear bomb would devastate London and Paris.

It identifies the Northeastern States and discusses the first European settlers in the area (mark 01:33) before noting the current population — said to be a third of the country’s total population. Agriculture is crucial to the region’s success, we’re told at mark 02:30, as is fishing along the coastal states (mark 03:15). Limestone, granite, and marble also are essential to the states’ success, as the film shows slabs being hoisted about, as is coal. At mark 05:00 the film explains how New England’s wool industry helps supply a national market as machines are shown spinning wool fiber into thread and then other materials. New York City is touted as a “fashion center” for the nation at mark 05:40 as we see high-end boutiques before moving on to show factory in Boston. The Northeastern United States leads the nation in steel production, it’s said at mark 06:15, and we see scenes from a Pennsylvania steel mill. There are also scenes from port cities such as Baltimore, Boston, New York, and Philadelphia as a variety of goods are shown being loaded and unloaded in shipyards, plus images from rail yards and airports as the narrator explains the importance of those industries. The film concludes with images of the area’s natural beauty including Niagara Falls (mark 08:20) and some of the autumnal colors, in addition to tourist destinations such as Atlantic City’s Boardwalk.

The real heart of this film begins at about 2:20, as children observe a massive Soviet Navy drill that includes rocket-firing patrol boats, frogmen, and marching marines. At 2:50, the Soviet naval school is seen. (This may be the N.G. Kuznetsov Naval Academy located in Saint Petersburg, the only academy of the Russian Navy. It is a postgraduate institution somewhat comparable to the U.S. Naval War College and should not be confused with officer commissioning schools such as the U.S. Naval Academy.)

At 3:30, Soviet naval recruits are seen being trained and performing various classroom tasks including at 3:40 operating a submarine periscope in a simulator. At 3:55, a submarine hull simulator is seen in use. At 4:22, the Soviet submarine 218 is seen, probably a diesel powered boat. At 4:33 the crew is seen preparing to dive and sealing the hatch. The boat submerges at 4:50 and at 5:00 its commander uses the periscope to survey the area.

Life aboard the submarine is seen including the crew at work, cooking meals, sleeping in bunks, and conducting operations.

At 6:23 a combat drill is seen with the Soviet surface fleet, with torpedoes prepared. Anti-submarine warfare aircraft are seen operating in the vicinity including helicopters and at 7:02, anti-submarine depth charges are fired. At 7:24, the submarine is taking on water from the depth charging. After damage control, the 218 makes its way back to port.

The film ends showing cadets taking more classes and eventually graduating to join the submarine fleet.

The film shows how Chicago is working to craft special schools and curriculums to deal with problem kids. 

It begins with images of gangs of kids roving the streets, hitching rides on the back of cars, fighting, gambling with dice, and working hard to evade the law. 

At 3:30 a dead end kid reads a Detective comic book. The title card mentions that Chicago's "Special School" seeks the cause of chronic non-attendance at school -- economic conditions and family life. The film then shows some of the low rent areas of the city, as a truant officer finds the kid reading the comic book, and speaks to his family. It is determined the the child will be sent to the "Special School" with its rich curriculum and individualized attention, aka the Montefiore School. (N.B. This school still exists today although it is now almost defunct. It is known as Moses Montefiore Academy or Moses Montefiore School and is "a special school of the Chicago Public Schools (CPS). It is located in the Near West Side of Chicago. It serves students with severe emotional disorders.")

The film goes on to show the operation of the Montefiore School with its on-staff doctor, dentist, psychologist and teaching staff. The boy is given a fresh start in a class with other problem boys and given (as a title card states) a "new deal". 

At 9:00 the Dante Public School is shown, subsequently demolished in the 1950s to build the Dan Ryan Expressway.  Here the children's aid society is shown, and boys are shown cleaning up in the showers, receiving nutritious meals, and new clothes. At 11:22 the problem student receives respect by operating a Filmo movie projector for his class. "Another problem boy restored to normalcy," touts the end credits, "at far ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b052848d-dc2a-4106-a00d-4bfb8f6c7c88/fe706786-88e2-4b08-932e-22f7ab7cf5e5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nLQu98bk4DXSv1WmA32z71</video:player_loc><video:duration>877</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T11:44:52.074Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ukYaTNXj4qDe6q4c2rvbkG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e6d58475-1e05-494a-9556-42a0c1b4ddf7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>YESTERDAY'S NEWSREEL  TIBET &amp; DALAI LAMA IN 1923   NEVADA GOLD RUSH  53464</video:title><video:description>Episode 34 of the “Yesterday’s Newsreel” film series offers the viewer “television highlights of the news of yesteryear” by providing vintage clips of famous people and events from the first half of the 20th century. This episode opens with a look at the “Forbidden City of Tibet” from 1923 (mark 00:30) and the first images ever captured from that land, including Thubten Gyatso — the 13th Dalai Lama of Tibet — at mark 03:50. “Gold” takes viewers to the 1920s gold rush in Gilbert, Nevada starting at mark 04:06, followed at mark 05:38 by a look at a 1934 tale of a trainer of such caged beasts as lions and tigers. Personalities of 1938 (mark 06:25) include Douglas “Wrong Way” Corrigan (who famously made a nonstop flight from New York to Ireland as part of a “navigational error”) and dancer Evelyn Law. “The King Is Dead Long Live The King” (mark 07:37) recounts the 1934 death of Albert of Belgium and coronation of Leopold III, while the 1930 unveiling of President George Washington’s “head” at Mount Rushmore is shown starting at mark 09:20, as we also see sculptor Gutzon Borglum and look at a rendition of what the monument originally was to look like (mark 10:10). “Fashions of the Day” for 1920 are revealed starting at mark 10:15, followed by a 1936 sports highlight (mark 11:00) of Rudolf Caracciola’s victory at the Monaco Grand Prix.

"Yesterday's Newsreel" was a short-lived, early TV show syndicated by ZIV-TV in 1948. The show features footage from the defunct General Film company library.

Through color illustrations the film discusses the Native Americans who once called the area home (mark 01:07), the destruction of a 1631 Dutch Colony, and the development of other colonies in the region by Dutch and Swedish settlers. We see Old Swedes Church (Holy Trinity Church), consecrated in 1699 in Wilmington, at mark 02:45, and we look at drawings of some early log cabins before learning about the role Caesar Rodney played President of Delaware during most of the American Revolution (mark 03:55), as well as the colony’s role during the war and eventual statehood. There is talk of Delaware’s spiritual heritage with unfolding scenes from nature and various places of worship. Kids and adults are shown fishing, playing at the beach, or enjoying time at amusement parks at mark 08:00 as the refers to the state as “the nation’s summer capital.” The film touts Delaware’s art culture by showing us the Wilmington Art Center (mark 08:37) and later re-enactments from Colonial life before looking at some of its rich architectural designs starting near mark 09:45. In praising the state’s dedication to education, students stroll the grounds at the University of Delaware (mark 11:18) and Delaware State College, and we later learn of the state’s rich history of material trade (mark 12:05). At mark 14:25 the film tells us the history of the first telephone service in Delaware, dating to 1878, before reviewing various industries that call “The First State” home, as well as small, local businesses (mark 17:50) as we see scenes from bakeries, jewelry stores, and other shops, as well as farms that produce countless crops and costal waters that provide seafood (mark 19:35).

Unfortunately we do not know the date it was made or what action it covers, but most of what you will see is "gun camera" or 'bomb camera" variety. The film opens with footage of air to ground combat and close fighter support. At 1:11 onward, heavy aerial bombing of jungle targets is seen, including eerie slow-motion bomb drops. At 4:02, more cannon fire is seen directed at a jungle trail, and at 4:28 at a hamlet. At 4:40, more bomb releases are shown. At 9:30, a particularly large detonation is seen at a trail or road crossing a river. 

The 366th arrived at Phan Rang Air Base in March 1966. It was an air base dating back to World War II, used by the Japanese and French. The 366th was the first permanent USAF organization to be stationed at the base. Eventually the 366th TFW moved to Da Nang AB, Republic of Vietnam and regained the 390th FS on 1 October 1966, becoming the host unit at the larger, sprawling base that accommodated Army, Navy, Marine and Air Force units.

Missions then flown by the 366th TFW consisted generally of two types—MiG-CAP patrols to protect strike aircraft from attack by marauding North Vietnamese fighters and fighter-bomber strikes carried out with iron bombs against ground targets. The MiG patrols and attacks in North Vietnam were taken over by the F-4s and F-105s based in Thailand, which could carry a larger bomb load further and faster. In addition, the F-105 was built to take the extreme structural loads of low-level, high-speed flight, whereas the F-100 was not. Consequently, the F-100D fighter bombers generally operated only in South Vietnam where the F-100 turned out to be a very effective ground support aircraft, and beat back many enemy attacks.

The mission of the 366th at Da Nang was to support Operation Rolling Thunder; the tactical bombing of enemy targets in North Vietnam by...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2c93617b-19ca-444e-b59b-07dfb050aa2d/9003f897-af1d-43f9-acc3-3a364cb454bc-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/6vfN9CtdNU9B6AW7vbxVmr</video:player_loc><video:duration>888</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T11:49:10.312Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/sVxXsFey5CitbVawuBMyhP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/52dccd26-e3f5-4a99-8a80-56cf187c4d1f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1957 FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL 12 HOURS OF SEBRING GRAND PRIX OF ENDURANCE MOTOR RACE 54604</video:title><video:description>“12 To Go” covers the 1957 Florida International 12 Hour Grand Prix of Endurance of the Amoco Trophy. The sports car endurance race was held at Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Florida. Mark 00:35 introduces us to David Ash, who between 1952 and 1957 earned the title of “Mr. MG’" as the only driver to start and finish five twelve-hour-long endurance races at Sebring in five tries. Ash “pleads” with his wife to allow him to participate in the race and sets off from New York to Florida at mark 04:05, pulling his racer behind him. Arriving at the racecourse at mark 05:40, we watch Ash register and enter the line-up for a vehicle inspection before going over the course rules. Meanwhile, mechanics are shown tinkering with cars at mark 07:10 for peak performance, and at mark 08:36 we get an aerial view of the track. Walking through the pits we see Jaguars, Ferraris, Alfa Romeros, and others along with drivers such as Carroll Shelby (mark 10:54), Juan Manuel Fangio, Harry Schell, and Donald Healey. The race is on starting at mark 12:30 and we see aerial views of the cars maneuvering hairpin turns and speeding down straightaways. Ash makes a pitstop at mark 14:41 as the race grinds on. The narrator details the action onscreen including an explanation of car colors at mark 20:32 (such as red for Italian entries, green for British cars, white for American, silver for German, and blue for French). Night begins to fall at mark 23:30 as the race rolls on and headlights peer from the darkness of the screen. Fireworks fill the sky at mark 24:28 signaling the end of the race, as Fangio claims victory for the second consecutive year. As the film comes to a close, we watch Ash (who finished second in his class) load up his car at mark 25:55 and head out on the long drive home.

The film opens on street scenes from the capital, San Jose (mark 00:23), a city “as modern as today’s airplane.” We see such structures as the National Theater (00:46) and the University of Costa Rica before visiting young girls picking coffee beans from plants (mark 01:30) and then follow the key product through its production cycle. A resident beautifully paints his ox cart at mark 02:50 before being attached to their beasts of burden and we visit a banana grove (mark 03:25), touted as the nation’s second most important industry, as they eventually are shown being loaded aboard ships for delivery to countries such as the United States. Mark 04:25 takes us to Alajuela, a province in northern Costa Rica that is the center of the sugarcane industry, and also see workers select cacao pods from which to harvest their cocoa beans (mark 04:44), and watch the manufacturing of abaca rope. We see scenes of orchids (the national flower) and their countless varieties, extinct volcanoes, and watch a car speed down the Pan-American Highway. There are bullfights (mark 06:13) and scenes of men women playing in fountains (mark 07:00) .“Clean as a porcelain cup; neat as a good housewife. That sums up the Republic of Costa Rica,” boasts the narrator as the film nears an end.

It was likely made in the mid-1980s after the Helsinki Accords and the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe. At 2:00, peace protests are seen at the Greenham Common Peace Camp. Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp was a peace camp established to protest at nuclear weapons being sited at RAF Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. The camp began in September 1981 after a Welsh group, Women for Life on Earth, arrived at Greenham to protest against the decision of the British government to allow cruise missiles to be based there. The first blockade of the base occurred in May 1982 with 250 women protesting, during which 34 arrests were made. The camp was active for 19 years and disbanded in 2000. 

At 2:30, NATO military exercises are seen. After this comes a brief and bloody history of Europe from the Napoleonic Wars through WWI (seen at 4:38 as primitive tanks move across a landscape), and various failed and successful peace conferences from Vienna to the League of Nations are shown.  At 6:03, the rise of Hitler and the onslaught of WWII is shown. A Soviet monument to WWII is seen at 7:30.

At 8:00, the signing of the Helsinki Accords is seen. The Helsinki Declaration was the final act of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe held in Finlandia Hall of Helsinki, Finland, during July and August 1, 1975. Thirty-five states, including the USA, Canada, and all European states except Albania and Andorra, signed the declaration in an attempt to improve relations between the Communist bloc and the West. The Helsinki Accords, however, were not binding as they did not have treaty status

"Tropical Mountain Island" is a vintage travelogue taking viewers on a tour through Java, Indonesia. Java is a part of the Greater Sunda Islands. It displays the island's production of quinine bark, tea, sugar cane, rice, kapok and rubber; all major crops of the island. It concludes with a visit to the major port city of Batavia noting popular sites in the area. The travelogue swings in covering location and landscape (:40); mineral rich soil and spindly palms spring up amid volcanic lands (:49). Agriculture is a major industry of the area (:58), much of the crop production is exported. They also feed fifty million local mouths (1:06). Java local’s mill through an open air market (1:12). The warm climate enables open air workshops for women spinning thread (1:26). Close shots follow a young woman hand crafting a piece (1:38). Local hands produce intricately designed Japanese silver (1:50). A server sets out serving dish at a local restaurant (2:11). Rice is a main dish set out at each meal (2:14). Ancient instruments ring out traditional tunes (2:42). A small Buddha sits criss-crossed outside of the world’s largest Buddhist temple of Borobudur (3:05). Close shots capture stunning architecture and statues carved into it (3:14). An aerial shot of a foaming volcanic crater appears (3:44). Molten lava bubbles up from cracks (4:16). A train runs through (4:27) the highlands countryside (4:34).  A lack of farm lands forced the construction of terraces (4:54). Pick axes cut into soft tropical lands (5:17).

It features extensive footage of the launching and recovery of carrier aircraft, both from the deck and from within the cockpit. A carrier landing causes incredible tension and stress among pilots, the narrator explains at mark 00:45, as numerous landings are shown. Night landings are even more stressful, we’re told, as jets touchdown in the darkness. At mark 03:00 the film describes an aircraft carrier as a city at sea — one that must accommodate a variety of aircraft. Mark 04:00 shows the supercarrier USS Nimitz (CVN-68), and references to how the F-4 Phantom II is being replaced by the F-14 Tomcat. It’s explained at mark 06:15 how pilots need to carrier additional fuel during a mission in order to safely return to a carrier deck, since the vessel may be 50 miles away from the initial launch site. The extra fuel is also needed “to give pilots a few extra shots at the deck, if need be.” Describing a carrier landing as little more than a “controlled crash” at mark 07:00, the film continues to show additional landings as the narrator continues explaining what goes into a successful attempt.  There are super-slow-motion footage of landings starting at mark 07:30 as additional details are provided. Mark 09:39 takes us inside a Grumman plant to see the rigorous testing of aircraft before deployment to the aircraft carrier and a look at how the jets are stored and maintained. As important as the carrier and the aircraft are, the narrator explains at mark 13:50 that it’s the pilot who is the true hero of the story. “Navy tail hook pilots think they’re better than anyone else; and who’s to say they’re not,” the narrator confesses. 

The A-7 Corsair II is also seen in the film.

Bogan celebrates "A Century of Progress handicapped children".  (The "Century of Progress" was the name of the Chicago World's Fair of this same time period). The film gives an extraordinary glimpse into "state of the art" education for children with disabilities in the first part of the 20th Century, and is one of a couple films in our collection about "special" students. The context of this film is important, as one needs to keep in mind that the Polio epidemic had placed extraordinary strain on American society and its schools. Also, 1933 coincides with some of the worst times in the Great Depression. Given this, the level of care provided by the Chicago public school system seems noteworthy and perhaps was even unique. 

The film looks at the efforts in Chicago to see that children with disability can receive an education, albeit a segregated one. As the film notes, in 1833 few children with a physical difference were accommodated. At :34, the Jesse Spaulding Public School is seen, and one still exists in Chicago at 1626 West Washington Blvd. Unfortunately we don't know much of this school or its charter, but apparently it was tasked with accommodating (as the title card states at :48) "crippled children". At :56, Dr. William Bogan visits the Spalding campus. At 1:16, some of the 45 buses that transport children with disabilities are seen arriving at the school. At 1:40, the school interior is seen and the first glimpse of the student body.  At 2:00, a title card refers to the fact that the school serviced K-12 students, and that the nursery school teacher is "furnished by Sunbeam League".

The train is pulled by a diesel-electric locomotive and features aluminum-sided streamline Pullman cars. At the start of the film Bobby arrives at a train station in a big city (probably Chicago) to board the train. The film then shows the operation of the train as it heads west towards Los Angeles. Bobby disembarks at the town of Lamy, New Mexico.
 
The Chief was one of the named passenger trains of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Its route ran from Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles, California. The Chief was inaugurated as an all-Pullman limited train to supplement the road's California Limited, with a surcharge of USD $10.00 for an end-to-end trip. The heavyweight began its first run from both ends of the line, simultaneously, on November 14, 1926, scheduled 63 hours each way between Chicago and Los Angeles, five hours faster than the California Limited. (The Overland Limited, Los Angeles Limited and Golden State Limited began their extra-fare 63-hour schedules between Chicago and California the same day.)

The Chief was a success, dubbed "Extra Fast-Extra Fine-Extra Fare" though it failed to relieve traffic on the California Limited. The Chief became famous as a "rolling boudoir" for film stars and Hollywood executives. In 1954 the Chief reduced its schedule to equal its cousins, the Super Chief and El Capitan, and would ultimately drop the extra fare requirement as well.

The Chief would have been the "crown jewel" of most railroads' passenger fleets. But it did not survive the national decline in passenger demand and its last run was on May 15, 1968.

It was probably aimed at engineers and designers who were tasked with making parts of various kinds, to get their creative juices flowing. The narrator explains (starting at mark 01:45) that ALCOA makes many of its parts using extrusion, a moving punch, a stationary dye, and a slug of aluminum, with the film continuing on illustrating each process and type of impact, aided by animation. The film explains how different parts can be combined into a single impact (ark 03:50) thus eliminating the need for welding or joint assembly. “If you want larger impacts we have the know-how,” the ALCOA narrator boasts at mark 05:50. The film focuses on tolerances starting at mark 06:18, and the ALCOA “alumilite” process (mark 07:50) which is an electro-chemically applied coating that protects against wear. The film rolls on with the narrator praising the ALCOA impact process, its methodology, and its ease of use. At mark 10:48 the narrator further explains how such pieces can be used for electronics, and automation “reduces costs to a minimum.”

Udey who was tasked with making a documentary about the field treatment of wounded, this silent footage was taken during the Battle of Saipan in 1944. Unlike most of the censored footage you will see from WWII, this material of wounded soldiers being evacuated from the combat zone is quite raw. It is hard to watch without becoming emotional, seeing so many brave, young men who have been subjected to the horrors of battle. It is also impressive to see the amount of care taken by the U.S.A. to help its wounded. 

At the start of the film, wounded are seen at a rear area being loaded aboard a transport aircraft for the flight to a hospital. At 1:30, a wounded soldier is shown wearing a tag that explains the nature of his injury and treatment. At 3:10, a wounded soldier is seen being moved. At 3:25, a former Japanese hospital is seen, now occupied by the Marines. At 3:33, a soldier receives additional treatment for his wounded leg. Note the pressed wood splint underneath his leg, developed by Charles and Ray Eames during WWII.

At 4:20 a title card (flopped) appears, "Transportation and Evacuation of the Wounded." 

At 5:57, LCIs are seen arriving from the front at Saipan full of wounded. At 6:29, Marine reinforcements head to the beach. At 6:40, naval artillery fires supporting fire at Saipan, and at 7:02 some of the wrecked buildings on Saipan are seen.  At 7:29, a medic uses a field bandage to staunch a bleeding wound on a Marine. At 7:49, more wounded arrive at a hospital ship.

At 9:46, soldiers are seen administering aid in the field. At 9:53, a hospital ship is seen offshore Saipan. Most likely this is USS Solace, AH-5, former SS Iroquois.At 10:30, Marines are seen recuperating aboard the ship. At 12:53, some are brought out on deck on stretchers to be offloaded using a winch. They are stacked up like cordwood on what appears to be a barge or LST. At 13:40, a hospital ship marked H-9 is seen, possibly USS Bounti...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e15dff33-5226-46ab-b2ad-fbe8a4ed6de4/5713c056-3142-40a0-9d49-2b5a8d6ed167-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tQ6LizMBmJCkBBv1i8HCUm</video:player_loc><video:duration>920</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:06:15.842Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/jYuPg4GHVD3bNL9CwdysbC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4c419e9c-aef1-4907-9e8b-3ceab06f6ea2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s LAPD POLICE MOTORCYLE PATROLMAN RECRUITMENT FILM HARLEY DAVIDSON PANHEAD MOTORCYCLE 54074</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

The Los Angeles Police Department presents “Your Traffic Officer,” a late 1940s black-and-white training film that shows what it takes to be a motorcycle patrolman on the new freeways in post-World War II California. Six people lost their lives on a “modern highway” in the past year (probably the 110 Freeway) the narrator explains at the film commences. The efficient execution of traffic regulations is key to keeping the roads safe. A motorcycle officer zooms across the screen (mark 00:53) as the narrator explains how a well-trained officer can make the difficult job look easy, and are offered the position only after passing physical and educational requirements. Mark 01:45 takes the viewer to a training class as instructors are shown teaching “the safe way to ride.” The training film offers detailed information on each part of the motorcycle, from carburetor to siren. Trainees are shown how to run the engine and operator the speedometer (mark 04:50), as well as how to operate the front and rear wheel brakes. Each element is put together starting at mark 05:30 as the training officer starts his engine, and then shown how they operate together on the road (mark 06:37). New recruits are encouraged to also learn from veterans as part of their on-the-job training (mark 07:45) “and learn your job by doing,” we are told. 

The motorcycle shown at 1:29 appears to be a Harley 74 cubic inch panhead. This was the sport bike of its time as it featured overhead valves instead of a flathead. It was 1200 cc or 74 cubic inches with  a 3 speed transmission. It had no rear suspension in those years unlike the Indian Chiefs. They had six volt systems unlike todays 12 volts. Supposedly they were not preferred by police as the indian motorcycle could be set up having the accelerator on the left,  freeing up the gun hand. Their top speed was around 89 mph but could be modified to go faster later on, but on the roads of the ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/99a7e79e-b281-4f5e-b5a4-3769a8dcb790/dc012fac-d6b4-461f-8be5-80da927943a9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jYuPg4GHVD3bNL9CwdysbC</video:player_loc><video:duration>508</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:07:20.239Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2dbWcApDbm9BFtmHohQhXm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/56b620d2-e713-4b5c-bb6a-554d2d5cf773.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1954 AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT &amp; SAFETY RESEARCH AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY  HUGH DEHAVEN 53884</video:title><video:description>This 1954 CBS Television public affairs presentation of the news program “The Search” is titled “Automobile Safety Research” and takes the viewer to Cornell University for a look at the latest in automotive safety. Hosted by revered newsman Walter Cronkite, he explains how an increase in cars on the highway has also led to increased traffic fatalities. There is a scene of a mangled automobile (mark 02:08) as men survey the wreckage and we learn how investigators use highway accidents as “living laboratories” to develop safer vehicles. At mark 04:55 we meet Hugh DeHaven, the so-called “Father of Crash Survivability” who started the Crash Injury Research project at Cornell, and discusses the odds of surviving a crash. Cronkite returns at mark 06:28 to discuss recent discoveries regarding head injuries as a model of a human head is dropped from various heights. Following additional experiments using a sheet metal figure (mark 09:24), researchers explain another way to prevent injuries — the seatbelt (mark 11:15) — a chest pad installed on the steering wheel. There are scenes using full-sized automobiles starting at mark 12:20 that also demonstrate injury scenarios, and we watch the experiment in regular speed plus slow motion. After reiterating the importance of seat belts (mark 18:35), the film continues with an explanation of how research will continue to find new ways to make automobiles safer during Sunday drives, including new padding material, at at mark 20:35 CBS commentator Charles Romine leads a discussion of methods stunt car drivers use to stay safe and how measures can be applied to everyday use. 

Hugh DeHaven (3 March 1895 – 13 February 1980) was an American pilot, engineer and passive safety pioneer. DeHaven survived a plane crash while training as a Royal Canadian Flying Corps pilot during the First World War, and became interested in improving human survivability in vehicle crashes. He has been called "Father of Crash Survivability".

The film begins with astonishing coverage of a huge air-sea battle fought between the Japanese and U.S. Navy in the Pacific. At 2:54, a damaged F-4U Corsair crashes into the bridge of an aircraft carrier, in some of the most dramatic footage you'll see from the war.

At 4:30, the capture of the German U-boat U-505 is shown near the Cape Verde Islands. U-505 is a German Type IXC U-boat built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II. She was captured on 4 June 1944 by United States Navy Task Group 22.3 (TG 22.3). Her codebooks, Enigma machine, and other secret materials found on board helped the Allied codebreakers.

All but one of U-505's crew were rescued by the Navy task group. The submarine was towed to Bermuda in secret and her crew was interned at a US prisoner-of-war camp where they were denied access to International Red Cross visits. The Navy classified the capture as top secret and prevented its discovery by the Germans.

In 1954, U-505 was donated to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois and is now a museum ship. She is one of six U-boats that were captured by Allied forces during World War II, and the first warship to be captured by US forces on the high seas since the War of 1812. 

At 8:30, Nazi leaders are seen making the unconditional surrender of Germany to the Allies, effectively ending WWII in Europe. At 11:16, General Eisenhower announces the unconditional surrender.

At 12:00, the story of the USS Franklin CV-13 is told. The USS Franklin (CV/CVA/CVS-13, AVT-8), nicknamed "Big Ben," was one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II for the United States Navy, and the fifth US Navy ship to bear the name. Commissioned in January 1944, she served in several campaigns in the Pacific War, earning four battle stars. She was badly damaged by a Japanese a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4b7e31e3-1365-4486-9f28-fa2369e666f6/f72d332b-b631-4f6c-9755-1e53841709b2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ajFRmSByjnMbAMqXxGeZCA</video:player_loc><video:duration>1006</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:11:04.710Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6KZjfLCBPwjJ3BARfvWxbw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3ec9ba4d-caac-4428-b7ab-dc44b63456fc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY PARACHUTE &amp; PARACHUTIST TRAINING  NAVAL AIR FACILITY EL CENTRO  CALIFORNIA  1960 81124</video:title><video:description>“The El Centro Story” is a circa 1960 US Navy film that tells the story of Naval Air Facility El Centro in Imperial County, California, near the Salton Sea, as a pilot recounts his first approach to the airfield at mark 01:45. After landing at mark 03:30, the pilot sees members of the parachute experimental unit — a unit he’d be joining. He takes to the sky with other jumpers and at mark 07:23 they begin their leaps from the aircraft to begin plummeting to the ground. Each man then gently floats to the desert below until it’s finally the narrator’s turn at mark 09:07. Safely on the soft sand less than a minute later the pilot continues his explanation of how El Centro is pivotal in the development and testing of parachute gear — much of it secretive — as men are shown carefully examine some material. Methods of how material is tested is shown at mark 11:25 and a radio-controlled Radioplane target drone plane, which are built and tested at El Centro, is demonstrated beginning at mark 11:35, before moving on to gunnery practice at mark 13:00 with a flood of related scenes. Pilots practice parachuting into nearby bodies of salt water at mark 14:55, before we’re reminded that even training exercises can be dangerous. At mark 18:00 a jumper’s chute fails to properly deploy, but through a re-enactment combined with flight footage we see how he’s able to release his faulty shoot and open a reserve parachute to save his life. 

Some of the aircraft shown include the A-1D Skyraider, the Grumman F2H Banshee and the Grumman F-11 Tiger.

"Atom Smashers" is a 1952 educational film about particle accelerators or ‘atom smashers’, their uses, and how they function. It is produced by the Encyclopaedia Britannica Films in collaboration with the Division of the Physical Sciences and the Institute of Nuclear Studies at the University of Chicago. The film explains the different types of “atom smashers” and differences in how they operate – the viewer learns about the cyclotron, the betatron, and the linear accelerator. The function of the different types of particle accelerators is partially told through the narrative of a journalist, Frank Stevens, interviewing Professor Porter who works at a university that is experimenting with particle accelerators.

The SD-3 was the result of an industry-wide competition for a short-range reconnaissance drone that could be launched in the field. The complete drone system including ground equipment designated AN/USD-3 and the drone itself was referred to either also as AN/USD-3 or simply as SD-3 (with "SD" usually being interpreted as "Surveillance Drone"). Some literature also refers to it as "Peeping Tom". It was intended to have a range of 100 miles, be capable of launch from a JATO powered zero-length launcher, and weigh 1000 pounds.

As you can see in the film, the testing was star-crossed, with the vehicle crashing on its initial flights due to a design flaw with the oil system. Eventually the drone did make a series of successful flights but the program was cancelled and the Snooper was never deployed.

It's unclear from the film whether the test model of the SD-3 carried a television, still or motion picture camera in the nose -- doesn't seem that it did --, but the Army's design specifications intended for it to have variable nose cones for different missions.

The following description is from the Designation Systems website: "The AN/USD-3 drone was of twin-boom pusher layout, and powered by a Continental IO-200 piston engine. It was launched from a zero-length launcher with the help of two solid-propellant rocket boosters. It landed with a parachute recovery system, and was equipped with inflatable bags to ensure soft landings. The SD-3 either followed a pre-programmed course or was controlled from the ground by radio commands. It had a quickly changeable nose section, which could house one of a variety of payload options, including photographic, infrared, radar or TV reconnaissance systems. A total of 50 Snooper vehicles were built for evaluation by the U.S. Army, but in the end the AN/USD-3 system did not enter op...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1ee1f185-b891-4bb4-9478-f92a909f2053/a9345eaa-f953-438a-9193-8e1d636cb1b3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4PbEmGZy1vwYkvTWUVgRy8</video:player_loc><video:duration>524</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:14:59.001Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/p2D89rsWag7h8DbofEWkxL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/61afe5ee-0fcb-4f19-b376-995b738a48c1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1969 EDUTRONICS COMPUTER DATA PROCESSING PRINCIPLES &amp; FILE CONCEPTS 54124</video:title><video:description>This historic computer and information technology film by Edutronics, Inc. presents “Data Processing Principles Basic File Concepts,” a 1969 film focusing on the “exciting things … happening today in the world of data processing.” From business to scientific research, the “science of information” is said to be changing the world around us. Machines are being used to represent, store, manipulate, transmit, and display information, we’re told starting at mark  01:05. As we see an electronic calendar click through the 1970s the narrator predicts using such technology will be a major challenge for that decade, as we see illustrations of massive computer terminals linked to each other that promises great changes in creative engineering “by allowing man and machine to work together and people to communicate with each other more effectively.” The film explains how computers already are being used as “tools of management” (mark 02:20) and less as clerical devices, in addition to a variety of uses in scientific research, engineering, government, and business. Near mark 03:00 the narrator explains how data is selected, collected, data, and maintained before being processed, transmitted, and displayed to yield useful information. Basic file concepts are explained in detail starting at mark 03:38 aided by animated scenes, and later we’re told how such files can also be stored on a medium such as magnetic tape (06:13) or merged to create a composite file.

The first precaution, we’re told starting at mark 00:52, is not to let a man on deck unless authorized by the captain. As a vessel cuts through the waves,  a cook is denied permission to throw trash overboard while a gunner’s mate is allowed on deck to grease the deck guns. However, the officer of the deck also should have notified the captain that a man was on deck and that a lifeline should’ve been secured. Tragedy strikes at mark 02:05 when the man slips overboard, alarms are sounded, and the ship comes around for a rescue mission. At mark 03:30 the film offers animated scenarios as to how a ship should come about in wind and wave conditions including the “Straight Back Method,” the “Primary Circling Method” (mark 05:19), “Secondary Circling Method” (mark 07:17), “Y Backing Method” (mark 08:20), “Williamson Turn” (mark 09:39), “Straight Backing Method” (mark 11:11). Each method is followed by re-enactments. By mark 11:40 the film shows us the “man overboard party” waiting to render assistance. 

The submarine used in the film is USS Dace (SS-247), a Gato-class submarine which made seven war patrols in the Pacific during WWII. She was briefly re-activated following WWII and eventually became part of the Italian Navy before being scrapped in 1975.

The film begins with shots of a turkey farm and the Daniel Hoover Mill at Scottsville, Kentucky. You can see the Sorghum Mill at :37.

At 1:28 a Route 66 sign is seen in Texas, followed by shots of a field being harvested. At 1:49 is what appears to be the entrance to the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, with the daughter dressed as an Indian chief. At 2:30 the Hotel Union is seen, along with what might be the USA border fence. At 3:30, we're in Mexico, where burros are seen helping with the harvest. At 3:38, the bustling downtown of a Mexican border town is seen, possibly Juarez. 

At 6:46, a Marfak Lubrication gas station is seen, along with oil derricks and a beached U.S. warship, looks like a destroyer or destroyer escort, followed by shots of the Gulf of Mexico. At 8:00, a circular monument is seen (do you recognize it by any chance?)

At 8:36, the family is seen having fun in the snow in Michigan. 

At 10:30, the daughter is seen posing with a teepee and Indian dolls, followed by a real native American at 11:00. He is handing out fliers for a carnival at Cross City.

At 12:20 Dad is seen changing a tire on the family car, and at 12:36 a graduation ceremony is seen.

The city is described in the film as being one of the cleanest in the Soviet Union, and many glowing images abound in the movie of content citizenry and pastoral scenes. At 2:20, a ship is seen on a Young Pioneers cruise from Crimea.  At 3:00, some of the farms that make the region known as the "breadbasket of the Soviet Union" are seen. At 4:18, a winery is seen with bottles of sparkling wine being produced. At 5:00, Odessa is shown, with its bustling port. Handicrafts are seen at 8:00 along with performances of traditional music from the Carpathian Mountains. 

Donetsk is an industrial city in Ukraine on the Kalmius River.  According to the 2001 Ukrainian Census, Donetsk was the fifth-largest city in Ukraine. Since April 2014, the city is controlled by pro-Russian separatists from self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic. Administratively, it has been the centre of Donetsk Oblast, while historically, it is the unofficial capital and largest city of the larger economic and cultural Donets Basin (Donbass) region. Donetsk is adjacent to another major city of Makiivka and along with other surrounding cities forms a major urban sprawl and conurbation in the region. Donetsk has been a major economic, industrial and scientific centre of Ukraine with a high concentration of companies and a skilled workforce.

The original settlement in the south of the European part of the Russian Empire was first mentioned as Aleksandrovka in 1779, under the Russian Empress Catherine the Great. In 1869, Welsh businessman, John Hughes, built a steel plant and several coal mines in the region; the town was named Yuzovka (Юзовка) in recognition of his role ("Yuz" being a Russian-language approximation of Hughes). During Soviet times, the city's steel indus...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/82f1df87-c2d1-4834-89de-f96fe75a782d/c2d081b2-f2f4-46a5-9b9f-c54965a580b8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/haQBJehZ3HmVunQiWWuGKg</video:player_loc><video:duration>604</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:19:51.601Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t9fc3Jmw59KhQqR9yg87LD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5e802334-3571-4898-9ce3-1ac3de1e1697.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PEACEFUL USES OF NUCLEAR ISOTOPES AND RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL 1960 UNION CARBIDE FILM 54184</video:title><video:description>Produced in cooperation from Union Carbide and the Atomic Energy Commission, this circa 1960 color film shows some of the peaceful uses of radioactive isotopes in medicine, food preservation, and other areas. Union Carbide's Nuclear Division, which started out as Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Company, operated the Atomic EnergyCommission/Energy Research and Development Administration/Department of Energy sites in Oak Ridge, Paducah, Ky., and Portsmouth, Ohio, until 1984, some 40 years.

The film begins in the control room of the nuclear reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, where an operator watches as slugs of uranium are fed into channels  (mark 00:18). Workers are shown working remotely with radioisotopes enclosed in rooms with thick walls and heavy windows to protect them from radiation. The narrator explains that while dangerous, radiation can also prove beneficial. When injected into living things in minute quantities it shows the path they take as they course through tissues which can show damage to a human body or a plant (mark 02:33). It can also be used to kill cancerous tissues. At mark 03:19 the film explains the uses of radioactive iodine in medicine, and also how food can be preserved via the use of radiation (mark 05:10). The radiation kills bacteria that can spoil food, a narrator explains, as researchers are shown irradiating cuts of meat. We also learn how burros are used to detect the level of radiation stored in the body after using radioactive feed with animals, and how plants are studied to determine how they use energy from the sun. Such studies, the narrator explains toward the end of the film, will help scientists develop new ways to use atomic energy.

The film was most likely made by the government of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine in 1987, just three years before the Soviet Union crumbled. The Chernobyl accident severely undermined the Soviet government, and this film may be seen as evidence that within Ukraine, the incident was perceived as the rationale to make a break with Russia.

The film contains a lot of interesting imagery including many shots of the city of Kiev, haunting shots of clouds (which carried Chernobyl's radioactive cloud across Europe), a great deal of American atomic bomb test footage, and footage from the Hiroshima bomb and its aftermath.

At 12:43, footage is shown of the ruined Chernobyl reactor and power station and exclusion zone. At 14:00, a research aircraft flies over the shattered reactor.  At 15:20, the control room of the reactor is shown. 

At 20;13, survivors of the Hiroshima bomb are seen receiving treatment for their horrific wounds. At 20:41, Chernobyl patients are seen receiving treatment for radiation exposure and burns.

At 27:00, radiation research with mice is shown, and at 29:00 frightening images of deformed, premature babies are shown.

At 30:00, children are seen placing messages of hope into bottles and throwing them into the sea.

At 46:30, Soviet premiere Gorbachev is seen holding a meeting.

The non-explosive, aircraft-to-submarine communications device provides one-way acoustic communications. It is explained starting at mark 01:00 how the device is launched from an aircraft and can transmit one of four independent codes, each representing a pre-assigned command message. The camera pans a MK 84 sonobuoy as the narrator provides details on each of the device’s three sections. Aided by diagrams, the film at mark 02:30 explains how the device works in the water followed by scenes of a SUS being constructed (mark 03:14) and tested. Devices are shown being carefully packed in ammunition containers before being transferred to an aircraft, where the film provides details on how to open each packaged device. We learn how to use a screwdriver to properly set a code for each device (mark 05:30) and hear examples of each sound at mark 06:15. The film continues with explanations of what not to do with a device (such as taking it apart or exposing it to moisture prior to use) before watching their launch from an aircraft (mark 08:30). Accompanying diagrams further explains how communication with a submarine works. At mark 10:20 we see scenes of submarine crews receiving the signal before the film quickly reviews the key points that had been covered. 

Sonobuoys enable Navy ASW forces to detect, track, and pinpoint potentially hostile submarines operating in the open ocean that could be threats to Navy carrier battle groups or other forces. Information from these systems can help enable precision attacks with air-launched torpedoes. A sonobuoy (a portmanteau of sonar and buoy) is a relatively small buoy (typically 13 cm or 5 in, in diameter and 91 cm or 3 ft long) expendable sonar system that is dropped/ejected from aircraft or ships conducting anti-submarine warfare or unde...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ce6279e0-be3d-4ae6-8be7-b892e18339fc/044ea775-9ada-4703-aa4d-aead9c831ebd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ru9pTFfuw7vGA2ozBUX6RW</video:player_loc><video:duration>732</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:28:07.986Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1w6vURi8ueCWHij8hZkJp6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/15402da4-856a-416d-911e-d89c49bc4f2e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>UKRAINE  USSR  SOVIET TRAVELOGUE FILM  COLD WAR ERA  54194</video:title><video:description>This Soviet produced, English language film from 1982 presents the Soviet Socialist Republic of Ukraine with its many factories, industry, and thriving transportation networks. The film starts with images of the bridge over the Dneiper River and the Moskovskyi Bridge. The film shows Karkov, Donetz, Odessa, Kiev and other Ukrainian cities. At 2:40, the country's supreme Soviet is seen. 1982 represented the 1500th anniversary of the founding of Kiev, and that city is shown at 4:50 and afterwards. At 6:30, Kiev University is shown, and the handing out of graduation medals to students -- many of them international. At 7:15, the opening ceremonies of the Ukranian Museum of the Second World War, attended by Soviet premiere Brezhnev, is seen. The first secretary of the Ukranian Communist Party is also seen. At 8:00, some of the industry in Ukraine is seen including chemical factories, modern steel plants, and auto factories producing cars and buses. At 9:00, turbines built at the famous Kharkov Tractor Plant are shown. The film ends with a look at some consumer products made in Ukraine including what appear to be TV sets and candies. 

Ukraine was one of the constituent republics of the Soviet Union from its inception in 1922 to its breakup in 1991. It is referred to sometimes as Soviet Ukraine by some historians. The Ukrainian SSR was a founding member of the United Nations, although it was legally represented by the All-Union state in its affairs with countries outside of the Soviet Union. Upon the Soviet Union's dissolution and perestroika, the Ukrainian SSR was transformed into the modern nation-state and renamed itself to the Ukraine, although Ukraine's new constitution was only ratified on 28 June 1996.

Throughout its 72-year history, the republic's borders changed many times, with a significant portion of what is now Western Ukraine being annexed by Soviet forces in 1939 from the Republic of Poland, and the addition of Crimea in 1954. From the start, the eastern...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0433b657-ce95-4c5a-bfb2-52101faaac6b/1ffbbeda-126f-4cec-a050-80e5f909804b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/1w6vURi8ueCWHij8hZkJp6</video:player_loc><video:duration>623</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:29:23.666Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fYScJwbHVVjN8CMukMuQiE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fa3afb6e-4174-4cf5-b9d4-08a980d09811.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CASTLE FILMS  1940s MEXICO TRAVELOGUE   MEXICO CITY &amp; PYRAMIDS  84014</video:title><video:description>One of the outstanding travelogues created by Eugene Castle and his company Castle Films, this travelogue of Mexico begins and ends with a stereotypical image, of a peasant riding atop a donkey. The film presents the "most exotic land in the Western Hemisphere" including shots of charming towns and native villages. At 1:10, women are seen washing clothes at a town square. At 1:29, a street barber provides shaves and haircuts, and at 1:50 an oxcart is seen. At 1:59, a Mexican port is seen (we'd love to know where). At 2:17, a woodcarver is seen at work, and at 2:30 pottery is made in the traditional way. At 3:00, rope is made by hand, and at 3:10 a traditional marketplace is seen. At 3:25 some caballeros are seen wearing beautiful clothes, in preparation for a fiesta, rodeo and bull throwing contest. 

At 4:20 another Mexican town is shown, and a wayside shrine. At 4:50, Indian fishing methods are seen. At 5:00, the Mexican Air Force makes a flight over the massive pyramids near Mexico City.  

At 5:40, Mexico City is seen with Popocatépetl volcano in the background. At 6:10, the Mexico City cathedral is seen and the Palace of Fine Arts nearby at 7:26. At 7:00, a monument to Montezuma is seen. A bull fight is seen at 8:00 and at 8:30 the floating gardens at Xochimilco are shown.

It features the voice of Pete Smith and was made by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and distributed by the U.S. Forest Service. The film is rather interesting in that it features famous Hollywood comics Laurel and Hardy -- appearing here in their only color role! At the time both were over the age of 50, and their careers were on the wane. Still they manage quiet a funny (albeit silent) routine. The narration here is read by veteran MGM announcer and producer Pete Smith. As you'll see, the film is an excuse to show the broad range of products that contain wood, paper and wood by-product such as cellulose, demonstrating the importance of wood to the economy. Incidentally, THE ROGUE SONG (1930) a film shot in Technicolor, also featured Laurel and Hardy. But that film is now considered "lost", leaving TREE IN A TEST TUBE as their only extant color film.

This classic Cold War film shows a U.S. analysis of Soviet capabilities, and draws heavily on a Library of Congress report, most likely the 1977 "Collins Report on American and Soviet Armed Services, Strengths Compared 1970-76" for much of its data. The film may or may not have been seen by Ronald Reagan when he was running for President, but many of the ideas presented within it -- that the USA is falling dangerously behind its principle adversary -- were repeated by Reagan during his election campaign against Jimmy Carter.

Description:
Made during the Brezhnev Era (probably 1979?), this U.S. Air Force film takes a hard look at the Soviet Union's growing military capabilities. It uses a wide variety of footage culled from various Soviet propaganda films, some of which you can also find in the Periscope Film archive. The film examines the USSR's military build-up and its quest to achieve superiority over the West. As the film indicates from 1970 onward the Soviets outspent the USA in defense. The film contains a great deal of footage of Red Square parades and military infrastructure. At 2:20, a look inside a Soviet ICBM launch facility is shown, and the film goes on to show some of the new ICBMs developed by the USSR including MIRV capable ballistic missile systems. At 3:30, land mobile IRBMs are shown with MIRV payloads.

At 3:50, Soviet ballistic missile submarines are shown. At 4:30, some of the Russian Tupelov long-range Bear bombers and Bison (jet powered) bombers are shown. Drawings of the Backfire bomber, a Soviet equivalent of the B-1, is also shown. At 5:50, Soviet strategic defense including air defense is shown including ground early warning and air interceptor sites. the Mach 3 Foxbat aircraft is shown at 6:30, as well as the Flogger at 6:40. At 7:00, Soviet SAM surface to air missiles are shown dedicated to anti-aircraft service, including road transportable systems.

It is comprised of four short segments, the first being “Bingo” (mark 00:44) which depicts the coordination of several artillery units using radio communication to simultaneously fire on a German target. “Forty Five Minutes For Lunch” (mark 02:30) shows U.S. B-26 bombers from English airfields flying daytime raids over France. “A Few Quick Facts” (mark 07:55) is a film short providing informative animations about the USS Iowa (BB-61) and the superiority of the battleship and the American soldier. The final segment, “Battle of Hill 700” (mark 10:50), reports on the fight against Japanese Army's 6th Division for control of Bougainville Island in the spring of 1944. The segment provides background on the 6th division's role in Japan's 1938 invasion of China, along with extensive (at times graphic) combat footage of the prolonged battle, the defeat of the Japanese, and the American soldiers’ impromptu Christian worship service (mark 19:00) in the jungle battlefield.

The Bougainville Campaign was a series of land and naval battles of the Pacific campaign of World War II between Allied forces and the Empire of Japan. It was part of Operation Cartwheel, the Allied grand strategy in the South Pacific. The campaign took place in the Northern Solomons in two phases. The first phase, in which American troops invaded and held the perimeter around the beachhead at Torokina, lasted from November 1943 through November 1944. The second phase, in which primarily Australian troops went on the offensive, mopping up pockets of starving, isolated but still-determined Japanese, lasted from November 1944 until August 1945, when the last Japanese on the island surrendered.

The Navy's Flight Demonstration Team downsized to the subsonic Douglas A-4F Skyhawk II in December 1974 and was reorganized into the Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron. Immediately prior to this configuration, the Blues flew the McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II, a Mach 2.2 capable, two-set fighter. The 1974 reorganization permitted the establishment of a commanding officer (the flight leader), added support officers, and further redefined the squadron's mission emphasizing the support of recruiting efforts. Commander Tony Less was the squadron's first official commanding officer.

The Blue Angels is the United States Navy's flight demonstration squadron, with aviators from the Navy and Marines. The Blue Angels team was formed in 1946,[1] making it the second oldest formal flying aerobatic team (under the same name) in the world, after the French Patrouille de France formed in 1931. The Blue Angels' six demonstration pilots currently fly the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet, typically in more than 70 shows at 34 locations throughout the United States each year, where they still employ many of the same practices and techniques used in their aerial displays in their inaugural 1946 season. An estimated 11 million spectators view the squadron during air shows each full year. The Blue Angels also visit more than 50,000 people in a standard show season (March through November) in schools and hospitals. Since 1946, the Blue Angels have flown for more than 260 million spectators.

The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk is a single seat subsonic carrier-capable attack aircraft developed for the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps in the early 1950s. The delta winged, single turbojet engined Skyhawk was designed and produced by Douglas Aircraft Company, and later by McDonnell Douglas.

Through vignettes, the history of the Corps is shown from the Revolutionary War through Vietnam, portraying the evolution of the Marine Corps from its origin to the present day.

The film includes several well-known actors including Richard Dean Anderson in his very first on-screen role, prior to landing gigs on General Hospital and MacGyver.

Eisenhower discussing the rapid advancement of the Atomic Age. A scroll at mark 00:45 then details how the Federal Civil Defense Administration “firmly believes it is necessary for the American public to know the facts about the destructiveness of nuclear weapons” and leading to the “public issuance … a non-secret portion of a secret film” that takes the viewer to the Pacific Proving Ground “to witness an important test conducted in late 1952 involving an experimental thermo-nuclear or ‘hydrogen’ detonation.” (Operation Ivy was the eighth series of American nuclear tests. The two explosions were staged in late 1952 at Eniwetok Atoll in the Marshall Islands.) Mark 02:10 takes us aboard the USS Estes (AGC-12), the command ship on Joint Task Force 132 which was used to transport high-ranking officials to the Marshall Islands. For several minutes, there are numerous scenes as naval personnel prepare for the detonation of “Mike” — the codename given to the first test of a full-scale thermonuclear device — including how information will be gathered. At mark 10:30 the film offers an aerial view of the three main atolls of the test site, including Elugelab on Enewetak Atoll, with first test was conducted. Officers and enlisted personnel continue their preparations at mark 11:35, until finally at mark 17:10 detonation occurs and a blinding explosion fills the screen. Dramatic music plays in the background as the sky turns orange and a mushroom cloud forms and lifts its way into the sky. Helicopters approach Ground Zero at mark 19:50 and examine the nearby area — though Elugelab has been erased. At mark 20:48 the film replays the explosion as the narrator carefully details the blast from the initial fireball (3-1/4 miles in diameter at one point) and the mushroom cloud (mark 21:28), accompanied by an animated explanation.

It used authentic footage taken at the Battle of Tarawa to tell the story of the American servicemen from the time they get the news that they are to participate in the invasion to the final taking of the island and raising of the Stars and Stripes.

The film is in full color and uses no actors, making it a valuable historical document. The documentary showed more gruesome scenes of battle than other war films to date. According to the documentary The War, President Roosevelt himself gave approval for showing the film, against the wishes of many advisors.

Since the pictures were far too graphic to meet the standards of Hollywood producers and distributors, only the President could grant permission for its release to the general public. President Roosevelt consulted the only man who was present at the Battle of Tarawa that he personally knew and trusted, Time-Life photographer Robert Sherrod. Quoting Sherrod, "I tell the President the truth. Our soldiers on the front want people back home to know that they don't knock the hell out of them every day of every battle. They want people to understand that war is a horrible, nasty business, and to say otherwise is to do a disservice to those who died." Based on Sherrod's prompting, FDR agreed to release the film, uncensored.

The film won the 1945 Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject. The Oscar was presented to the US Marine Corps, and today a replica Oscar is displayed at the National Museum of the Marine Corps. Due to the shortages of metals needed during the war effort, the Academy presented the Marine Corps with a plaster statue in the shape of a tablet. It is also housed at the same museum, but is not on display.

The Battle of Tarawa was a battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II that was fought from November 20 to November 23, 1943. It took place at the Tarawa Atoll in the Gilbert Islands. Nearly 6,400 Japanes...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/39bc212d-6702-41a8-aa60-d57c66f450ad/8c01585f-7cad-4550-8dd2-1dbdd7214070-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/88v8AwXTei5evzGCXyTMBk</video:player_loc><video:duration>1168</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:39:27.450Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ocpVdBSnwcJN6RC8wNHzdt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e4b0d0b5-099e-45d0-bd6b-f35918d8cc97.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HOLLYWOOD CANTEEN  MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY IN WORLD WAR II  53984</video:title><video:description>This wonderful short featuring Dinah Shore, tells the story of the Hollywood Canteen, a converted Barn located in Hollywood. It operated at 1451 Cahuenga Boulevard between October 3, 1942, and November 22, 1945 (Thanksgiving Day), as a club offering food, dancing and entertainment for servicemen, usually on their way overseas. Even though the majority of visitors were U.S servicemen, the canteen was open to servicemen of allied countries as well as women in all branches of service. A serviceman's ticket for admission was his uniform, and everything at the canteen was free of charge. The East Coast counterpart was the NY-based Stage Door Canteen, which featured Broadway stars and was also celebrated in a film, Stage Door Canteen.

The film features many celebrities including Lana Turner, Deanna Durbin and Marlene Deitrich, with musical acts including Xavier Cugat and Jimmy Durante. Judge and Mrs. Hardy, Jimmy Simms, Bob Hope, Hedy Lamarr, Red Skelton and other celebrities are also seen. 

At 3:30, Shore sings a song dedicated to troops on the China-Burma-India front.

It includes several segments and ends with the delightful cartoon "Private Snafu". 

“Fighting French” (mark 00:30) looks at men of the French armed forces and shows us the French battleship Richelieu in New York Harbor after undergoing refitting in New York Navy Yard and returning to battle. Troops from Martinique are shown training in the United States at mark 02:30 and members of a French Air Force squadron attend an aerial gunnery school in Florida (mar 03:50). “Battle for Rubber” (mark 05:44) focuses on how rubber production was impacted during the war after the Japanese seized plantations in the Far East and Allies were forced to create syntheticc rubber (mark 06:30). “Bluejacket Holiday” (mark 09:22) reminds us of how the war impacted families especially at Christmas. Yet we learn how crewman aboard the USS North Carolina took up a collection and sent the money to Macy’s in New York City with instructions that the money be used to purchase gifts for 729 children of servicemen (mark 10:25). Each present included a gift card that read “Merry Christmas from your Dad and his shipmates in the USS North Carolina.” At mark 12:47 we see some of the families gathering for a holiday meal as they receive their gifts and talk about their loved ones. Mark 14:50 offered servicemen a visit from “Private Snafu” and the importance of ignoring rumors. 

Rumors is part of the Private Snafu series of animated shorts produced by Warner Bros. during World War II. Released in 1943, the cartoon was directed by Friz Freleng. Plot: Private Snafu and his buddies begin talking about a recent bombing, but the story grows more exaggerated with each passing turn. Eventually, a panic breaks out on his base that a bombing is imminent. In the end, nothing happens, but the base is quarantined and Snafu is locked up.

The film opens with a scripted scene featuring NBC correspondent Chet Huntley (mark 02:00) speaking with an officer about how America faces the possibility of nuclear attack and how he wants to get the word out about the country’s deterrent power by giving Huntley “the inside story.” Huntley explains the missile in great detail as scenes of its use are shown, and at mark 04:40 explains how small, rocket-propelled and liquid-propelled engines were already in use by the Air Force, but large solid-propelled engines were necessary for an ICBM (mark 06:00). There are scenes of scientists working on the propellant and Air Force personnel working on the tactical aspect of the missile. The economic aspects of the system are examined at mark 07:30. Near mark 08:00, Huntley returns to explain how a Minutemen missiles’ primary mission is as a retaliatory weapon, “a counterforce capable of permanent readiness and instantaneous attack in the event of attack,” with an animation of that scenario beginning at mark 08:24 followed by an explanation of how Thiokol designed the rocket’s engine. There are scenes of the rocket under construction as Huntley reviews the various steps and at mark 12:35 looks at the exhaustive tests conducted.  

The LGM-30 Minuteman is a U.S. land-based intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), in service with the Air Force Global Strike Command. As of 2016, the LGM-30G Minuteman III version is the only land-based ICBM in service in the United States. Development of the Minuteman began in the mid-1950s as the outgrowth of basic research into solid fuel rocket motors which indica...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b5fbb35b-dbed-49bf-8fe7-15cb4baa6498/11ac6edb-f92a-4c0c-b27a-7bcd2b889baf-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oto1Yo9jJWJ1QLcHMHGah5</video:player_loc><video:duration>1153</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:42:08.214Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ifR3kYeiJ6618qhAVraKyR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/cdf5be59-1b8d-4c39-8a38-95b82047d993.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1943 SOUTH AFRICA DOCUMENTARY "KNOW YOUR COMMONWEALTH" 53704</video:title><video:description>Disclaimer: This historic film was produced during the apartheid era in South Africa. It contains propaganda elements that explicitly or tacitly endorse racism and racial separation. It is presented solely for historical purposes, to help document in part a period of terrible repression.  


The black-and-white circa 1943 film from the Apartheid era, “Know Your Commonwealth South Africa” compiled material shot for the South African Bureau of Information to take viewers to African nation. It of course is a colonial film at its core, and ignores the racial problems that haunted the nation. Farmers are shown in fields as we’re given a brief history of how the Dutch Trading Company came to South Africa more than 300 years ago, later joined by the British. It is a land of contrast, as a native Bantu is shown on horseback while men and women jump onto buses in bustling cities. African women are shown working in fields at mark 03:00 while African men are shown studying agriculture in college “to become scientific farmers.” The idyllic lifestyle was changed in September 1939 with the start of World War II (mark 04:15), and we see South African Prime Minister Jan Smuts meeting with his cabinet to discuss a declaration of war against the Axis powers. There are scenes of South African troops in formation and at sea (mark 05:04). With help from Britain’s Royal Air Force, South Africa was able to train pilots (mark 05:38) while native Africans are taught how to drive to assist in the war effort. We learn how Dutch and British South Africans fought side by side “to drive the Facists out of Abyssinia” and at mark 08:30 see South African Major General Dan Pienaar present a commendation to s soldier his service in the South African campaign. (Pienaar was killed in a 1942 air crash). The film tells of advancements in industry and how blacks and whites, men and women, have all learned to work together. As the war continues, so does work in fields (mark 10:30) as workers are shown g...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8bbdfe02-e7bf-414e-b69f-e74469ce4b15/b472de40-a28d-4bc6-8f94-b41fe768abb0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ifR3kYeiJ6618qhAVraKyR</video:player_loc><video:duration>845</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:43:30.564Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/ncaS6idJFmuNaSsUeUdtgM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/38eb50ca-8774-4ffe-a5a8-bad76454f9ce.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>VIETNAM WAR U.S. PRISONERS OF WAR  RETURN WITH HONOR   53584</video:title><video:description>This extraordinary, declassified U.S. Air Force documentary “Return With Honor” pays tribute to those servicemen who became prisoners of war during the Vietnam War. The film focuses on first hand accounts by POWs who describe their methods of resistance, maintaining mental toughness,  and most incredibly the innovative communication techniques they developed and used while held captive. The circa 1973 picture opens with General John P. Flynn (mark  00:20), who spent five years as a POW in North Vietnam, as he explains how returnees want to share their stories.  Flynn informs the viewer (starting at mark 01:20) how the North Vietnamese tried to obtain military information from the captives, to exploit them politically, and to maintain a punishing environment that included torture and mistreatment. To combat the tactics, Flynn notes at mark 02:05 that prisoners relied on their own integrity, the military code of conduct, and covert communication — which he describes as the prisoner’s lifeblood. With that introduction, the film begins in earnest at mark 03:05 with scenes of airmen returning to the United States after having been held captive in Hanoi, some for more than 8 years. Dramatized scenes continue of prisoners in their cells as the narrator recounts the common thoughts of the POWs after they’re captured. A prisoner is questioned about his mission at mark 05:15 and threatened via intimidation. The film’s narrator, Col. Raymond Merritt (who also was a POW) explains at mark 07:45 how prisoners longed for human contact and the inability to communicate with others was an effective torture tool. Prisoners used their ingenuity, Merritt explained, to create a covert communication network to save their sanity. The network was used in such camps as How Lo Prison (aka Hanoi Hilton), shown at mark 13:18. Dramatized re-enactments starting at mark 14:30 show how the communication worked as POWs with the “tap code” demonstrated starting at mark 16:16. In addition to tappin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ab9f2c09-3f0a-4a2b-a980-4e75a002ca9f/4ed1b663-607f-4c8d-814c-6cef35cd462e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ncaS6idJFmuNaSsUeUdtgM</video:player_loc><video:duration>2742</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:49:24.849Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2Hs9rRn7TGEeBDbSJ74kGn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8999aec2-9991-4b2b-950e-1d1b580ce4a4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. AIR FORCE AIR DEFENSE COMMAND  F-89 SCORPION INTERCEPTOR 1950s PROMOTIONAL FILM 54094</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Made by Northrop Aircraft for the U.S. Air Force Air Defense Command, this promotional film MRS. JONES, MEET YOUR PARTNERS features General Nathan F. Twining speaking about the group's mission: to protect the USA from enemy attack, especially nuclear attack. It also showcases the F-89 Scorpion interceptor. The film is a bit fragmentary but apparently featured a civilian housewife "Mrs. Jones", who has volunteered as a aircraft spotter with the Ground Observer Corps, touring the advanced USAF ADC infrastructure. At 55 seconds, the film shows the Air Defense Direction Center, the heart of the nation's air defense system. Here, the nation's skies are constantly scanned and then F-89D aircraft dispatched to intercept any hostile incoming aircraft. At 2:00, a large table is shown where markers are moved to indicate air patrols over various sectors, and information logged and coordinated.  U.S. Navy and Army representatives are shown working at the center. At 3:00, Mrs. Jones visits a squadron of F-89D Scorpion interceptors, designed for all weather interception. At 3:30, the aircraft is shown in a cartoon shooting down an enemy bomber using some of its 104 wing-mounted rockets. 

At 5:30, F-89 pilots are shown, and their training and regimen described. A magazine ad is seen stating "The Soviets now have ability to launch an atomic attack on us!" At 6:30, the film shows how Soviet bombers might operate low to evade radar detection. The film points out at 6:56, that due to these kind of evasion tactics, civilian spotters like Mrs. Jones are vital. A phone call quickly relays information to a regional center, and then up the chain of command until the aircraft can be intercepted. At 7:50, F-89s are scrambled and pilots race to their aircraft as part of the alert, with sirens going off. The jets race skyward while at 9:20, Army troops are seen racing for anti-aircraft guns, and at 9:50, U.S. Navy personnel go on...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0de2befc-5af1-4197-a52e-d85f627e8469/7ce847e9-5826-41d8-a4d7-456c009369a0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2Hs9rRn7TGEeBDbSJ74kGn</video:player_loc><video:duration>856</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:50:23.841Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tQyHwjrntCFRj31gapygt2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e19ef542-1051-45a8-9531-98b3fe650b22.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WORLD WAR II  LIBERATION OF ROME  ITALIAN CAMPAIGN DOCUMENTARY  81074</video:title><video:description>Made in late 1944 by the U.S. Army Pictorial Service, "The Liberation of Rome" depicts the successful Allied advance into Rome, freeing it from German control during World War II. The film begins with footage of Allied forces arriving in the city, before flashing back to the beginnings of the campaign that eventually liberated Southern Italy from Axis control. 

At 1:37, the combined Chiefs of Staff are seen planning the campaign after the successful battle for Siciliy. At 2:45, Gen. Montgomery and the British 8th Army land at Reggio Calabria. The Italian navy surrenders to the Allies at 3:10. Gen. Mark Clark and the U.S. 5th Army land at Salerno behind an intense naval bombardment at 3:25. The Luftwaffe bombards the beachhead. The 5th and the 8th Armies meet up, and the Allies take the Foggia airfield and later enter Naples at 6:10. Refugees return to the city at 6:40. U.S. troops cross the Volturno River and advance through mud. Ortona is taken after street fighting and a savage tank battle. Gens. Eisenhower and Clark inspect Cassino defenses at 11:00. 5th Army units land at Anzio. Gens. Rommel and Kesselring direct the arrival of Nazi reserves at 12:55. British Gen. Alexander directs an artillery bombardment on the Gustav Line. Cassino falls at 16:38. Allied tanks roll toward Rome. The Nazis evacuate the city and 5th Army units enter.

It shows various combat scenes and developments, starting with the use of JATO bottles for aircraft at Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio. At 1:40, bomb damage is seen at Mainz, Germany including extensive damage to the city's railway terminals and electric power plant. At 2:20, Worms Germany is seen almost entirely decimated by bomb strikes, although the cathedral is seen relatively intact. At 3:30, the German Arado 234 jet bomber is seen, captured intact after a belly landing. The Arado was the world's first operational jet-powered bomber, built by the German Arado company in the closing stages of World War II. Produced in very limited numbers, it was used almost entirely in the reconnaissance role, but in its few uses as a bomber it proved to be nearly impossible to intercept. It was the last Luftwaffe aircraft to fly over Britain during the war, in April 1945

At 5:20, bomb damage is seen in Bologna, Italy, including wrecked bridges and railroad lines that kept the Germans from moving troops to the front.At 6:50, a crash-landed B-17 Flying Fortress is seen burning on the runway at Lucera, Italy.  At 8:00, the film switches to the Pacific Theater where aerial bombing of Burma and China is seen in the China-Burma-India Theater, including at 10:00 a strike at Kweilin, China, where the 14th Air Force used to have a gigantic air base.

At 10:50, captured Japanese aircraft are seen displayed at Clark Field in the Philippines, including a Mitsubishi Ki-46, known to the Allies as Dinah. This was a twin-engine reconnaissance aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy in World War II, and one of the fastest twin engine planes in the world. A Japanese George is also shown at 11:29, and a Tony and a Nick are also seen at the air field. A Betty bomber and an Irving night fighter, a Lilly, Irving, Zeke, Tojo, Frank and other aircraft are also shown.

Mark 01:00 takes the viewer to an unidentified USAF base generating plant where the liquid is manufactured into a cryogenic, or low-temperature, material. There are scenes of scientists testing the propellant (mark 01:45) and a propellant disposal area. The film discusses the three major hazards involved in the handling liquid oxygen beginning at mark 02:10, including frostbite, explosive hazards, and the possibility of a pressurized explosion, as well as providing examples as to how to avoid any troubles and protocol should trouble arise. With these basic rules in mind, the film moves on to discuss how the liquid oxygen is received, starting at mark 08:00, whether it be from a generating plant, storage tank, or mobile container. By mark 08:30 the narrator details the necessary steps in the transfer procedure, as each move is re-enacted on the screen. This includes proper grounding of a transporter, verification of a safety check list, proper cleaning of instruments, and purging of the transfer hose. Transfer of liquid oxygen into an operational storage tank at a launch site is shown at mark 11:00 followed by an illustration of a liquid oxygen storage tank, beginning at mark 11:25. Once a transfer is complete (mark 13:40), the film touches on how the propellant is undergoes regular quality control samplings, with the process revealed on the screen. Liquid oxygen that does not meet specification is disposed of in a process shown starting at mark 17:35.

Hunley, a Confederate sub used during the Civil War (mark 04:45). The film rolls on with a demonstration of their submarine simulator (mark 07:13) and various other simulators used to train officers and sailors. The USS Grouper (SS-214) is shown at mark 12:45, followed at mark 13:12 by the USS Benjamin Franklin (SSBN-640) a Polaris nuclear missile submarine. Recruits are shown being trained in the latest techniques of undersea warfare and technology as the film continues, and a submarine escape tower, a familiar site in New London, is discussed starting at mark 14:40 with rarely seen footage from inside the tank shown beginning at mark 15:05. The base’s Submarine Medical Center is visited at mark 21:09 and the narrator outlines the important role medical officers play aboard subs, especially nuclear-powered examples. Graduation day at the school plays out tarting at mark 24:24 as learn the graduates continue to receive additional training and on-the-job instruction even after leaving New London. The narrator offers a summation of some of a submarine officers duties at mark 25:40 as we see the USS Piper (SS-409) head out to sea, and learn a little about the role of the submarine in World War II before once more seeing the Benjamin Franklin, a “power for peace” utilized by the Navy.

Early models were used commercially from the early 1920s, and adopted by military and government services of several countries, most notably Nazi Germany before and during World War II.  Several different Enigma models were produced, but the German military models are the most commonly recognized.

German military messages enciphered on the Enigma machine were first broken by the Polish Cipher Bureau, beginning in December 1932. This success was a result of efforts by three Polish cryptologists, Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski, working for Polish military intelligence. Rejewski reverse engineered the device, using theoretical mathematics and material supplied by French military intelligence. Subsequently the three mathematicians designed mechanical devices for breaking Enigma ciphers, including the cryptologic bomb. From 1938 onwards, additional complexity was repeatedly added to the Enigma machines, making decryption more difficult and requiring larger numbers of equipment and personnel -- more than the Poles could readily produce.

On 25 July 1939, in Warsaw, the Poles initiated French and British military intelligence representatives into their Enigma-decryption techniques and equipment, including Zygalski sheets and the cryptologic bomb, and promised each delegation a Polish-reconstructed Enigma. The demonstration represented a vital basis for the later British continuation and effort. During the war, British cryptologists decrypted a vast number of messages enciphered on Enigma. The intelligence gleaned from this source, codenamed "Ultra" by the British, was a substantial aid to the Allied war effort.

Though Enigma had some cryptographic weaknesses, in practice it was German procedural flaws, operator mistakes, laziness, failure to systematically introduce changes in encipherment procedures, and Allied capture...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e5ad45fc-6536-4cf6-9f23-2dee71e4e732/a9cbbd2b-846a-4a11-b102-5a63da0e50b5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/umY1pkYq1hHTVtTsiKbMss</video:player_loc><video:duration>145</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T12:58:52.497Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Benchley park</video:tag><video:tag>Enigma</video:tag><video:tag>cryptology</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fLSZssYTRmtRSev4Hhbmvp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ad9574ce-caf2-4aaf-b619-1630275e53e1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>HIGH SPEED DIGITAL COMPUTERS &amp; DATA PROCESSING 1960s MAINFRAME IBM COMPUTERS 53034</video:title><video:description>The System Development Corporation presents “System Technology,” a circa 1960 color film featuring footage of “modern” computers and data processing. At mark 00:40 we see several large IBM computers, each about the size of a bookcase, as the narrator explains how technology marvels are able to handle vast computations and hold data. Data processing is involved in nearly aspect of daily life, we’re told, including transportation, insurance, banking, credit cards, and information technology. We are shown an automated oil refinery near mark 01:30 as the narrator continues an explanation of how computers are an accepted part of the work world. The Air Defense Command’s Continental Defense Network (mark 01:50) is also a user of such technology. At mark 02:17 we’re taken to the Santa Monica headquarters of System Development Corporation, a purveyor of such technology. Inside we see scenes of engineers at work drafting diagrams and maps, engineers in meetings, and various draftspersons. By mark 07:55 the film discusses how such technology serves the training needs of the US Air Force and other branches of the military. Via a mix of animation and meeting scenes, the film explains how personnel create detailed training exercises, each meant to achieve a specific goal. Much of that work is also automated, we are told at mark 11:45, as punchcards are shown making their way across the screen and are later used to create a detailed map. At mark 17:00, the film shows a simulated air raid shown on a cathode ray tube and at mark 19:00 learn more about how punchcards are used as system production tools, as its data is transferred to preprinted maps. Mark 22:00 touches on how the corporation has also been working with military defense systems for national security. 

System Development Corporation (SDC), based in Santa Monica, California, was considered the world's first computer software company.

Over the years, PEMCO grew geographically and expanded its product portfolio. In the 1940s innovations included the development of matte white and titanium-based frits. PEMCO was acquired by Prince International Corporation in 2013.  The company continues to make specialty frit-based products that meet the needs of the consumer: white goods, hot water tanks, sanitary ware, cookware, and other industrial industries. 

This Pemco film “Everything Under Control,” was made in 1955 to showcase the company's porcelain enamel finishes. An introductory scroll at mark 00:20 explains: “A vital function of our national industry is the maintenance of quality controls over all steps in manufacture. A continuous sampling, testing, and checking of products must be done to insure the uniformity that has made American products in demand the world over.” With that introduction the picture quickly cuts to the neon lights of Times Square (mark 00:40) — images that mean “America!” But the true picture of America is incomplete without small towns (mark 01:04) and we see scenes from quiet burgs with high standards of living — standards that demand high-quality products such as televisions, radios, and refrigerators. Young couples in the film are living in the “Age of Accumulation” (mark 01:35), a period in which “they are busy getting the many things a home needs.” The picture touts the greatness of porcelain enamel as a salesman is shown setting a book of matches on fire and cutting an onion atop a porcelain sample without damaging the finish. The finish was created by PEMCO, a Baltimore manufacturer, and we visit the company’s headquarters starting at mark 03:50. Raw materials arrive by railcar (mark 04:39) and kept in storage bins until needed. Inside the operation we watch the materials work their way through various machinery and onto a conveyor belt toward its journey toward becoming...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4f239b14-9917-4b0b-9e2c-04dbf398cad7/ebc63bf1-96ca-4a01-aa11-7245b05f714c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aLNsFhhK3BjmTJmrszhWRn</video:player_loc><video:duration>1670</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:03:18.895Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/irF91VVCNqXaw4zr6yjxxK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/98c4950c-0853-4c21-867e-72df3f04eeb1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WORLD OF THE SEA   U.S. NAVY DEEP DIVING SYSTEM MARK I &amp; SATURATION DIVING 53044</video:title><video:description>“A whole new world is opening up. A world beneath the sea.” Those are the opening words of the United States Navy film, “World of the Sea.” The 1973 documentary that takes the viewer beneath the waves as the narrator explains how the Navy must perform essential support maneuvers underwater, whether it be in submarines or by using divers for missions such as salvage and repair, underwater construction, study of acoustics, or scientific research. Amidst scenes of divers in the ocean as well as in specialized tanks, the narrator explains at mark 02:50 how divers need pressurized air to breath in deeper depths, and at mark 03:25 we see an animated explanation of how a body is decompressed. The Navy trains divers in a specially constructed ocean simulations facility, shown starting at mark 04:25. At 4:27, Capt. George S. Bond discusses the Ocean Simulations Facility. (Capt. George Foote Bond USN was an American physician who was known as a leader in the field of undersea and hyperbaric medicine and the "Father of Saturation Diving) The research device is capable of simulating ocean depths of more than 2,000 feet, and at mark 06:15 we watch as a diver is exposed to pressure equal to 1,025 feet and later 1,200 feet. Following the discussion of medical issues in dives, the film switches to engineering concerns starting at mark 07:25, as we watch scenes of naval engineers test the Mark X breathing device, and divers became “swimming laboratories.” Deep Diving Systems are discussed starting at mark 10:55, with scenes of the Mark I and Mark II deep dive systems, which were put into use in the mid-1960s, as well as a personnel diving capsule. At mark 17:05 a navy captain praises advancements made in deep dive systems, and pledges to continue to dive deeper “and seek the limits of human endurance.” Meanwhile, the navy is working to enhance underwater communication, the narrator explains at mark 18:45. Because divers in submersibles are breathing a helium-oxygen gas mixture, t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8d41123d-405a-4793-8b63-a337128fe53d/ab9e5e30-462d-4013-8fcf-31fb2841c582-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/irF91VVCNqXaw4zr6yjxxK</video:player_loc><video:duration>1531</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:07:13.112Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4kwsipMSX221f2VPJz1URu</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/15c04582-bafb-48a7-8caa-c8af41dbeed7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY TOP GUN   NAVY FIGHTER WEAPONS SCHOOL  F-14 TOMCAT 1970s PROMO MOVIE 81774</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This U.S. Navy film from the early 1970s starts with a discussion of how in the first five months of 1968, Navy pilots only achieved an "unacceptable" 3:1 kill ratio over North Vietnamese Migs. As the narrator explains, the small Migs were able to outmaneuver U.S. aircraft in combat. The Navy Fighter Weapons School or "Top Gun" was created as a response to this problem, using the A-4 Skyhawk as the adversary aircraft. The results were extraordinary, with an increase in kill ratio to 13:1 in a fairly short time. Top Gun became a permanent command.

At 1:56, the T-38 Talon, a Mach 1 trainer, is shown used at Top Gun. At 2:18, the Northrop F-5E Tiger II is shown being used as an adversary aircraft. Classroom instruction is seen at 3:00, showing the five week curriculum which includes 90 hours of ground school.  At 4:29, Navy pilots flying the F-14 Tomcat are seen taking off for dogfight maneuvers against A-4s, T-38s and F-5s, which are seen in camouflage paint schemes. At 5:10, ground crews relay information about bogey locations, and dogfight maneuvers are seen. These maneuvers are recorded on the Air Combat Maneuvering Range (ACMR) which can be used later as a debriefing device in the classroom. At 7:00, classroom analysis of the encounter is conducted in a reconstruction of a dogfight.

At 9:00, instructor staff takes on the students in a classic Top Gun exercise, with the staff playing the role of enemy interceptors that are attempting to penetrate to and then destroy a bomber force. The intense maneuvers shown here are truly remarkable demonstrations of the agility of the F-14 in combat. At 11:00, an aircraft is shown in the crosshairs of the heads-up display, and falls victim.

Narrated by Jack Comley, CAN DO: THE STORY OF THE SEABEES tells the story of the U.S. Navy's Seabees or United States Naval Construction Battalions. The film begins with footage of Davisville, Rhode Island, home of the CB's Atlantic headquarters the U.S. Naval Construction Battalion Center. The film provides a brief history of the CBs through photographs showing how the CBs worked in WWII to blast coral reefs, build advance bases, and provide causeways, piers, causeways and other facilities for the Navy in the Pacific.  At 4:13, modern day footage (dating from the mid-1960s) shows training of crews to use bulldozers and other heavy equipment, conduct surveys (5:30), telephone line construction (6:20), and more. At 6:40, CBs use a civilian sawmill to make timbers and at 7:50 they learn to use a telephone switchboard. At 8:50 recruits practice building buildings, and at 9:00 weapons training takes place at Sunland Reservation near Davisville. 

At 12:00 the film switches gears to show the Seabees operating in South Vietnam. At 12:48 the outskirts of Hue are seen, where the CBs are busy building a base for the Marines and Army. Elsewhere in Vietnam, fleet logistic warehouses are shown at 15:00, and a body and fender shop where Marine and Army vehicles will be repaired. At 17:00, another CB base is seen, this one protected by armed CBs against Viet Cong attack. CBs are shown playing volleyball and relaxing at the mess hall. 

At 17:20, the film switches to the South Pole where the CBs maintain the USA's most distant base in Antarctica as part of Operation Deep Freeze. A C-130 Hercules is shown delivering a Swiss-built snow machine, used to create a new Little America. At McMurdo Sound, a nuclear reactor prepared in Rhode Island is shown being installed at the Antarctic, to provide power for McMurdo. (This was known as the PM-3A (Portable, Medium-power, 3rd generation). It was one of the first shore-based po...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8913a575-3e2f-4459-a507-eae273fe2991/7702d06d-08c6-4e70-b513-abcef5f57a0c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hVKPQp265guutFG7iagPik</video:player_loc><video:duration>1762</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:08:35.227Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uwPoiDRecshPPvHXRie1eo</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a856b7bb-1715-4fa6-b5bd-44dc6cff6b6f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1946 NATIONAL AIR RACES at CLEVELAND, OHIO  THOMPSON TROPHY  26004</video:title><video:description>Directed by Emerson Yorke, this rare industrial film by the United States Rubber Company shows the 1946 National Air Races in Cleveland, Ohio. These races represented the restart of the NAR after they were curtailed by World War II. Present at these races were early jet aircraft and many of aviation's great personalities including Roscoe Turner, Tooey Spaatz, Tony Levier, Paul Mantz and other military leaders including Admiral Bull Halsey. Covergirl Corkey Kelly is also shown at 2:45, and at 2:54 Fred G. Crawford the President of the Air Races is seen, winner of the Thompson Trophy.

The film begins with a Douglas Skymaster flying into Cleveland, with close shots of the aircraft's rubber tires made by U.S. Royal Tire Co., part of the U.S. Rubber Company. 

At 3:38, Reginald Denny's famed target drone the Radioplane OQ-2, is shown being put through its paces. At 5:30, the Bendix Trophy flight is seen from Van Nuys to Cleveland. Paul Mantz is seen landing his P-51 Mustang at 6:00, winning the Thompson Trophy. Second place goes to Jacqueline Cochrane, the wartime head of the WASPs. At 6:30 a C-74 Globemaster lands.  At 7:46, a WACO glider lands on the field. At 8:00, an $8K the Sohio Trophy race takes place in the skies above Cleveland between a P-51, P-38, a P-63 and other aircraft. Dale Fulton won with a speed over 352 mph. Roscoe Turner congratulates Fulton on the winner's dais. At 12:20, P-80 jets are seen flying over Cleveland. Lt. William J. Rielly is seen at 13:00. At 13:30, Tony Levier is seen stunt flying a P-38 Lightning. Levier is seen on the ground shortly thereafter. 

At 15:00, the Thompson Jet Race -- first ever in history -- takes place. Maj. Gus Lundquist wins the competition. At 19:00, the Thompson speed classic takes place, won by Alvin "Tex" Johnson. 

The film features Edward Swanee Taylor as narrator. During World War I, Swanee Taylor and brother, Sloane Taylor, were balloonists with the Army.  Swanee was noted for his post-war exploits as a "w...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e70d65b8-cbdb-4e27-916e-fc3d95057e00/454e54d0-e996-45be-9ffd-7f45a1271975-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uwPoiDRecshPPvHXRie1eo</video:player_loc><video:duration>1260</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:08:27.561Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tiSiwrtC53JU6NifR8mYKW</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/965c230f-edf6-4d10-9d7c-471e2174e5fb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>7th WAR LOAN MOVIES   THE 957TH DAY &amp; MIDNIGHT  INVASION OF GUAM  81004</video:title><video:description>Presented here are two propaganda films made during WWII by the War Finance Division of the U.S. Treasury Department. These films were released as part of the 7th War Loan, which took place in May 1945, just days after victory in Europe. Treasury officials were concerned that the defeat of Germany might lessen bond sales, and so the "Mighty 7th" came into being.

The first film THE 957th DAY was a propaganda short produced by the US Navy in 1944. The film uses authentic battle footage of the taking of Guam on July 21, 1944, and one narration follows the battle chronologically, while another narration mimics a radio news caster voice. The newscaster related mundane activities like baseball standings, what song is on the top of the charts, and weather, but also news relative to the war effort, like the amount of steel that Pittsburgh has shipped, the monthly Selective Service quota, and the news that one worker got a medal for not missing one day of work since Dec. 8, 1941. This is all superimposed on some very graphic combat footage.

The combat footage is compiled from several days of fighting and actually begins with ships readying for the invasion at Eniwetok (in June). The bombardment of the island lasted for thirteen days and the invasion of Guam was the beginning of a much longer battle. This movie leads the viewer to believe that the island was secured on July 21, 1944, when in fact the island was not declared secure until August 10, 1944 after the loss of nearly 19,000 dead between the two sides.

The second film MIDNIGHT, also produced under the auspices of the Navy, uses a technique similar to that of "The 957th Day", tracking war activities around the globe as Big Ben strikes midnight in London. The narrator discusses the fact that the Navy uses Greenwich Mean Time in its operations. The city of London is shown during the attack by V-1 rockets, while B-24 anti-submarine aircraft are seen patrolling for German u-boats. American PT boats are seen operatin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dd256341-1d12-4fff-9c03-97a2d7752e04/e58b926f-56c0-413f-93a6-3129d559f87f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tiSiwrtC53JU6NifR8mYKW</video:player_loc><video:duration>1097</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:08:38.370Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/geDpw2Qqfp1XZBw4nyiDkC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2aaddd9f-802f-47dd-a0b2-8e65fa3dbda9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. MARINE CORPS WWII TACTICAL &amp; GUNNERY AIR OBSERVATION  CLOSE AIR SUPPORT 81734</video:title><video:description>The US Marine Corps presents “Tactical And Gunnery Air Observation,” developed to aid support to infantry units. The World War II-era color film (probably made post-war, likely in 1948) notes the importance of such observation, especially in situations when ground observation is impractical or impossible, as we see troops march through heavy foliage at mark 01:37 and a few seconds later we see a Stinson OY-1 Sentinel, a two-seat observation aircraft used during World War II, as well as a helicopter that we’re told can also be used to patrol. The narrator explains air observation operations starting at mark 03:25 with his words accompanied by a circle map. Aircraft can also be flown at night, we’re told starting at mark 04:22, with crews watching for artillery flashes on the ground and thus being able to redirect Allied fire. The film notes how all observers receiving a briefing prior to an operation (mark 05:15) and supplied with the most recent information about a mission. While planes are airborne the crew relay information to a radioman on the grounds, as is shown starting at mark 07:37. This film features some aerial footage as the action is described by the narrator. At times, tactical observers are required to perform utility missions (mark 09:44) such as cargo parachute drops. As the film nears an end we are told starting at mark 10:22 that observers can also fly point for convoys, observer rail lines for possible sabotage, or as a radio rely point. 

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.

The film depicts the social and gender relations and attitudes of its time. It notes that most of the women had never been in industry before (mark 01:48), and were unfamiliar with the terminology and mores common to the plant. Each thing had to be broken down and explained in detail (mark 03:00). The film also reminds men that women of the day have been at work in things like knitting and sewing, and that these skills could be appropriated for war work. In a short vignette starting at mark 04:20, the foreman returns home to his wife, complaining about all the women asking for time off. His wife then tells him she had to cook, clean, and take care of the children all day, at which point the foreman realizes that women really work two jobs, one in the factory and the other at home. At mark 06:30, we learn that there are four basic rules to supervising women workers: don't mix business with pleasure; remember that women are awfully jealous of each other; avoid undue familiarity; and remember that women are more sensitive than men. In another vignette at mark 07:40, a foremen gets into an argument about a woman not wearing a protective hat, and it is shown that he has to explain to her why the protective cap was necessary. “To all the rules of supervising women add just one more,” the foreman is told at mark 10:15. “Act quickly. Never let a situation get underway.”

The exact location is unknown and hopefully someone in the Youtube community can help us identify it. One possibility is Kent, Ohio (based on the "Ray's Place" liquor at 1:20) but it really might be anywhere -- please help!

The film begins with some good natured goofing around and then at :30, you will see military brass gathered for a parade. The parade includes a 1-star general.  At 1:40, brass reviews troops at attention. At 2:00, aircraft perform a fly over, including a P-51 Mustang. At 2:34, the General (with Airborne patch on his shoulder) is seen on foot. At 2:49 the parade continues with armor including tanks, armored personnel carriers and half tracks moving past the Sears Farm Store.

 At 4:30, you will see troops and tankers on maneuvers. At 5:30 tanks are fueled in the field. At 6:18, a tank is seen that has slid into a ditch, being retrieved by a second tank using a cable. One tank has "Amazon Lucy" written on the side.

At 7:20, some r&amp;r in the form of swimming on a large lake.

At 8:00, some wonderful footage of tankers posing in front of their tank which is marked "Monroe, Michigan" on the side. At 8:57 a pet mouse is seen. 

At 9:48, a large scale presentation of force begins with overflights of reconnaissance aircraft, followed by jeeps, Sherman tanks, and infantry. At 10:40 the flag is lowered and the entire division appears en masse for what might be a graduation ceremony.

The film begins with a look at some of the early figures in Brazilian aviation history, including Alberto Santos-Dumont (mark 01:46), the creation of his memorial, and the founding of the Escola de Especialistas de Aeronautica in 1941. As the film moves forward, there are reports on President Getulio Vargas and Brazil's role among the allied nations in wartime (mark 02:40). There are numerous scenes from air cadet training (mark 03:45) before finally reaching graduation day at mark 07:05. We then see images of air patrols of its coastline and providing protection for ocean transport ships (mark 07:45), followed by profiles of the developing infrastructure of air travel in Brazilian nation (mark 08:50) and visits to newly constructed airports at Belem, Rio De Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Porto Alegre, and Natal, beginning at mark 10:08. Although the film focuses on Brazil at war, the narrator has a positive message starting at mark 12:50: “Tomorrow … the skies will be air routes to peace, trade, and better understanding among men.”

The 1951 educational film was meant to be a public service announcements meant to educate the populace on the steps to take in the event of a biological attack from our Cold War enemies. The film opens with a montage of scenes from farmland to bustling cities as the narrator explains how in the event of war, our enemies may try to disable our people or our production no matter where. Although we may be attacked with a traditional bomb we may also be attacked by other means, and at mark 01:14 we see  clips of shadowy men wearing fedoras spraying aerosolized substances into air shafts and pouring unknown yet suspicious-looking liquids into rivers are interspersed with information on washing contaminated food and clothes, on the necessities of mass inoculation, and on the voluntary provision of blood samples. Starting at mark 02:12 the film explains three types of biological warfare: germs, toxins, and plant growth regulators, followed by additional information on what to do in the event of an actual attack. As various “worst case scenarios” are shown, the narrator remarks at mark 07:22, “Above all, don't listen to scare talk, rumor, or myths …. We can successfully combat biological warfare!”

Yet another threat remains — the mosquito (mark 01:04), “whose tiny bite can mean malaria.” Illustrative footage is shown as scientists take blood samples from natives and examine them under microscopes. Medical officers are shown at mark 02:58 discussing where malaria outbreaks are most prevalent, including the Solomon Islands, and we see scenes of the swampy waters that breed mosquitos that carry malaria and also are trudged through by soldiers. “It’s hard to fight two enemies, Jap and mosquito, at one time,” the narrator says at mark 03:27. By rolling down shirt sleeves, buttoning shirts, and using repellants, the chance of contracting malaria can be reduced. A careless may not be as lucky. A medical officer passes out atabrine pills in a chow line (mark 04:39) and in the field to further reduce the risk. There are scenes from a malaria control headquarters on one island at mark 05:20 where medical personnel further work on controlling the disease that combines medical, engineering, and etymological attacks. Scientists examine mosquito larvae scooped up in water samples, while seabees come in and blast open waterways to drain standing water, dig drainage ditches, cut down underbrush, and oil spray waters that cannot be drained. Troops install netting at mark 06:45 to continue the fight, while others are shown teaching village boys how to spray insecticides in their family homes. As the films nears the end, we learn how in the rainy climates, mosquitoes will breed in such man-made depressions as ruts, abandoned roads, blocked ditches, and fox and shell holes. Bulldozers then must come in and smooth over the depressions (mark 09:10).

The film's production history is chronicled in the book "Making Movies Black" by Thomas Cripps, "Teamwork" was almost not made, as the Army by 1944 viewed such films as superfluous. Fortunately for filmmaker Carlton Moss, General Lyman Munson, Anatol Litvak and Frank Capra saw things differently. The result is a film that as Cripps states, "set a black agenda in that it literally promised African Americans an enhanced status in the postwar world in return for their service during the war."

 Produced by the US Army Signal Corps during World War II, the unclassified picture shows images of a Nazi arsenal at mark 00:43 as the narrator explains how it once held the most powerful weapons the Germans had. “This building held an arsenal of words,” he says. The film then shows the Nazi propaganda machine at work as recordings are made and newspapers are printed to promote the Nazi message. Through re-enactments we watch German officers promote the message of “divide and conquer” (mark 01:19) as he describes the United States as a “mongrel nation” that pits people of different religious beliefs and ethnicities against each other. “And if this mongrel American army dare to attack the sacred shores of the fortress Europe you will see chaos in their ranks,” says the faux officer. What follows is a montage of scenes as US ships hurl bombs inland and landing crafts open to release countless soldiers, no matter of their background or beliefs. “The all hit the same beach under enemy fire,” says the narrator. They did it by using teamwork. And when the Germans cut off supply lines, Americans used teamwork to get supplies and ammunition to the troops (mark 04:55). Engineers of different colors are shown stringing communication lines, preparing airfields, and creating roads where none had exi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/37317694-364e-4379-8552-21d80116a34d/a5db22ef-8375-4bf1-b263-c7acb4fef70d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7PijzFs2qvsuUVqL7Nkk9Z</video:player_loc><video:duration>1002</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:18:45.891Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/d1XZznWYFdcmP9rUMUKkRJ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/184a1658-7757-40e2-81e9-c8d82c96266d.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. AIR FORCE WILLIAM TELL GUNNERY EXHIBITION 1965 F-106 DELTA DART 53504</video:title><video:description>Released in 1966, this U.S. Air Force produced documentary shows the 1965 William Tell, a biennial aerial gunnery competition with fighter aircraft held by the United States Air Force in every even-numbered year. In the competition, teams representing the various major commands of the USAF compete in live-fire exercises, using towed banner targets for gun engagements, and obsolete fighters converted into unmanned target drones (currently QF-4 Phantoms) for air-to-air missile engagements. The competition occurs during even-numbered years, while Gunsmoke occurs during odd-numbered years.

The film begins with a showcase of USAF and Canadian air defense, including NORAD early warning systems and the ADC, or Air Defense Command. Shown at 3:45 is a RCAF F-101 Voodoo, and at 4:00 a U.S. Air Force F-106 Delta Dart. Air National Guard pilots participate in the competition as well. At 8:00, maintenance on aircraft is seen. At 10:00, the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter is shown, the "missile with a man", equipped with a 20mm cannon and sidewinder missiles. 

At 10:50, USAF Ryan Firebee drones are shown being used as realistic targets for intruders. At 11:30, the Tyndall AFB control site is seen, with a controller flying the drone for almost an hour over the target area. At 12:00, B-57 Canberra bombers are shown being used as targets as well, while trying to avoid detection. At 12:39, a Voodoo is shown deploying a supersonic target. A target monitoring system is shown at 13:17, along with a computer control center. At 16:40, a computerized display shows an F-106 locking into target and deploying a missile, which brings down the target at 17:00. At 18:00, weapon loading competitions are shown. At 18:30, a Firebee Drone is seen being recovered for re-use. Many were re-used over ten times. At 24:45, the award ceremony is seen at an ADC open house at Tyndall. AFB.

Made by the Royal Navy at HMS Excellent, the RN's gunnery school, TRACER OBSERVATION shows the use of tracer ammunition in combat conditions against aircraft. Using animation and live action, the film shows how tracer works, and how it can be used to adjust shell trajectories against a moving target. The film also contains a fascinating look at some of the optical effects produced by the human eye when dealing with a fast moving target such as an aircraft. A typically British film, at 8:11 it uses a bottle of Guinness Stout to make some points about elevation relative to the position of a distant target. 

Tracer ammunition (tracers) are bullets or cannon caliber projectiles that are built with a small pyrotechnic charge in their base. Ignited by the burning powder, the pyrotechnic composition burns very brightly, making the projectile trajectory visible to the naked eye during daylight, and very bright during nighttime firing. This enables the shooter to make aiming corrections without observing the impact of the rounds fired and without using the sights of the weapon.

When used, tracers are usually loaded as every fifth round in machine gun belts, referred to as four-to-one tracer. Platoon and squad leaders will load some tracer rounds in their magazine or even use solely tracers to mark targets for their soldiers to fire on. Tracers are also sometimes placed two or three rounds from the bottom of magazines to alert the shooter that his weapon is almost empty. During World War II, aircraft with fixed machine guns or cannons mounted would sometimes have a series of tracer rounds added near the end of the ammunition belts, to alert the pilot that he was almost out of ammunition. More often, however, the entire magazine was loaded four-to-one, on both fixed offensive and flexible defensive guns, to help mitigate the difficulties of aerial gunnery. Tracers were very common on most WWII aircraft, with the...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/33325f93-4618-450d-9ff9-5b21bc470a24/15b77f66-5a74-4e67-b192-990ef4f5cfda-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7jFcc8cYyoeM74w6ZL76wm</video:player_loc><video:duration>1305</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:24:22.108Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5kbbTm78GTV1DgK3SEcvsy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3675b537-43a3-4d42-b4fd-5f7e7b3e5417.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1958 ALPINE RALLY  COUPE des ALPES AUTO RACE  MARSEILLES FRANCE 52664</video:title><video:description>One of the wonderful films made by Shell Oil Company in the 1950s and 60s, “Coupe des Alpes —  The Story Of The 1958 Alpine Rally,” a color film recalling the aforementioned race. (Officially called Coupe des Alpes, the rally competition was based in Marseille, France and held from 1932 to 1971. In the 1950s and the 1960s, it was among the most prestigious rallies in the world and featured an international route, consisting of famous mountain passes in Europe.) “Fifty-six production cars from eight countries struggling to win — a cup. An Alpine Cup. The dream of every rally driver,” a narrator says sardonically at mark 01:30 before continuing his explanation of the the rally’s 2,400 mile course through France and Italy, all while animation traces the trail and three stages. Drivers get only three breaks over 73 hours, along with 73 checkpoints. “One second late, and your cup is lost,” says the narrator ominously. 

Mark 02:37 takes us to Marseille as cars prepare for the start of the race, including 1956 champion Michel Collange. As the film progressive there is footage from both alongside the roads and behind the windshield of the cars as they zip in and out of traffic and navigate dangerous curves, twisting roads, and mountainous passages. Night falls in France at mark 06:20 as the opening strains of “La Marseillaise” plays in the background and racers reach the French-Italian border. The race continues through Monza (mark 07:05) and by mark 08:30 the first stage of the race has ended. Although 56 crews began the race, 12 had dropped out and 28 had arrived late to their checkpoint, leaving only 16 possible winners. 

The second stage takes the races toward Austria and then back toward France as the route is shown on a map. Picturesque scenes are interrupted by speeding racers as the narrator explains the action. Dusk falls again at mark 19:45 and cars move from the Dolomites in northeastern Italy back toward the Alps. In his first rally, Bernard Consten and his...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2311f6f3-400d-4c57-878f-eaa926eba570/4f7a9ea9-194d-4c25-aebc-180eb1bc0516-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5kbbTm78GTV1DgK3SEcvsy</video:player_loc><video:duration>2180</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:28:49.236Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/w6AwA1JBDoiMso8MRQnNZT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0469d528-0146-42b8-aafa-f8a802764a07.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>POSEIDON MISSILE UGM-73A LAUNCHER TUBE PREPARATION 20964</video:title><video:description>This declassified U.S. Navy film shows some of the steps used in preparation of the Poseidon Missile launcher tube aboard submarines.  The Poseidon missile was one generation of the FBM, or Fleet Ballistic Missile, system. This film covers the installation of the missile in a submarine launch tube including placing the umbilical connectors and testing the firing circuit, and closing and sealing the launch tube.

The Poseidon missile was the second US Navy ballistic missile system, powered by a two-stage solid fuel rocket. It succeeded the Polaris missile beginning in 1972, bringing major advances in warheads and accuracy. It was followed by Trident I in 1979, and Trident II in 1990.

A development study for a longer range version of the Polaris missile achieved by enlarging it to the maximum possible size allowed by existing launch tubes started in 1963. Tests had already shown that Polaris missiles could be operated without problems in launch tubes that had their fiberglass liners and locating rings removed.

The project was given the title Polaris B3 in November, but the missile was eventually named Poseidon C3 to emphasize the technical advances over its predecessor. The C3 was the only version of the missile produced, and it was also given the designation UGM-73A.

Slightly longer and considerably wider and heavier than Polaris A3, Poseidon had the same 4,600 kilometres (2,500 nmi) range, greater payload capacity, improved accuracy, and MIRV capability. Poseidon could deliver up to fourteen W68 thermonuclear warheads contained in Mark 3 reentry vehicles to multiple targets. The high-re-entry-speed design was intended to counter Sprint-type terminal ABM defenses. See Atmospheric re-entry for blunt body theory.

The low-yield warheads were apparently selected to make the weapon unsuitable as a first-strike weapon against hardened targets in the Soviet Union, but could be used in a retaliatory strike against soft targets, or in a preemptive strike against unhard...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f3ba2829-b644-4e36-b62c-7c8f7e7afe3d/5d708ee8-e52a-467f-aab3-abeed13d7c18-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/w6AwA1JBDoiMso8MRQnNZT</video:player_loc><video:duration>1331</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:31:05.992Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/afjAUD4qVFSLqeiMTrL5kw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/be087213-9b5c-4b3a-a543-f78199457232.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BOEING YQM-94 B-GULL COMPASS COPE DRONE FLIGHT &amp; CRASH LANDING 28284</video:title><video:description>This silent film from August 4, 1973 shows the second flight of Boeing's prototype "Compass Cope" drone, which unfortunately ended in disaster when the aircraft made a hard landing (read more below including the cause of the accident). The Boeing YQM-94 B-Gull (also called Compass Cope B) was a developmental aerial reconnaissance drone developed by Boeing. It could take off and land from a runway like a manned aircraft, and operate at high altitudes for up to 24 hours to perform aerial surveillance, communications relay, or atmospheric sampling.

Compass Cope was a program initiated by the United States Air Force (USAF) in 1971 to develop an upgraded reconnaissance drone that could take off and land from a runway like a manned aircraft, and operate at high altitudes for up to 24 hours to perform surveillance, communications relay, or atmospheric sampling. Two aircraft, the Boeing YQM-94 Compass Cope B, and the Ryan Aeronautical YQM-98A Compass Cope R participated in the program.

The Boeing YQM-94A is a cantilever shoulder-wing monoplane, basically a jet-powered sailplane, with long straight wings, a twin fin tail, retractable tricycle landing gear, and a turbojet housed in a pod on its back. The engine was a General Electric YJ97-GE-100 providing 5,270 lb (2,390 kg) thrust. The YQM-94A was constructed using aluminium and fiberglass. The lower half of the circular-section fuselage was glass-fibre honeycomb, the same material used for radomes. The wings of the YQM-94A were constructed of aluminium-skinned honeycomb with a fiberglass core which insulated the fuel tanks from the cold encountered at the altitudes it was flown.

Since the YQM-94A was a demonstrator, it used some off-the-shelf components to reduce costs. The datalink was based on the AN/TPW-2A X-band radar. The flight control system was derived from a system developed by the Sperry Corporation for the Beechcraft QU-22B Pave Eagle. The Compass Cope B was controlled remotely from the ground with no auton...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4ae21fe0-8d15-4ce1-bcc1-714bb4e3860c/934b7b03-b44a-43ee-b6a1-8757aee49562-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/afjAUD4qVFSLqeiMTrL5kw</video:player_loc><video:duration>303</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:31:31.060Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/mhuiYQoUw1akA6ypahkcP2</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/90b9a612-b358-4518-89c6-64b834908bbb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1963 AMERICA'S JUNIOR MISS PAGEANT w/ DIANE SAWYER  MOBILE ALABAMA 52654</video:title><video:description>The 1963 America’s Junior Miss Pageant is the subject of this color film. The film opens with 1962 pageant winner Jean Allen (mark 00:25) who calmly explains that the pageant “is the search for the ideal high school senior in the nation” and details the various competitions leading up to the Junior Miss Pageant as scenes from her competition are shown. After being crowned, Allen recounts her world wind year as Junior Miss starting at mark 02:25 with a montage of scenes from parades and personal appearances.  (Interestingly, the pageant at this time did not appear to have any girls of color in the finals. It would not be until 1974 that an African American girl made it to Mobile.)

As Allen reminds the viewer, however, “we’re not here to talk about me” but rather the 1963 pageant as contestants arrive at a Mobile, Alabama airport for the competition (03:39) amidst pomp and circumstance. Among the participants, “Kentucky’s lovely Diane Sawyer” (mark 05:15). The film shows the girls as house guests of Mobile residents and site seeing including a trip to the Bellingrath Gardens (mark 07:30) where they are treated as celebrities. They participate in a pageant parade, submit to interviews, pose for photos, and prepare for the actual pageant. Allen continues her narration as we watch the first of three preliminary competitions (mark 13:11) including seeing individual talents including a Russian dance by Miss Alaska, a flute solo by Miss North Dakota, and a song-and-twirling-flaming-baton act by Miss Mississippi (mark 16:06). By mark 17:07 the field had been narrowed down to eight finalists “and tonight one of them will be touched by magic” says Allen. We again see Sawyer at mark 18:50 as she sings a medley during the talent portion. Allen appears at the competition to address the crowd at mark 22:06 before Miss Kentucky — Diane Sawyer — is crowned America’s Junior Miss 1963 (mark 24:45).

"The Final Phase" shows how the Air Force responded in the face of the Chinese offensive -- supplying United Nations forces with much needed supplies through air drops, and providing close air support and interdiction for desperate infantry units. F-80s and F-86s are shown trying to disrupt Chinese supply lines. Eventually this use of airpower helped stabilized the situation. At 4:24, F-86 squadrons begin performing fighter sweeps along "Mig Alley", flying against Migs flown by the Chinese (and as it turned out, Russian aviators as well) and destroying them on an 8-1 ratio. At 9:55, the United Nations delegation and representatives from North Korea are seen meeting to negotiate the end of hostilities, and at 10:30 American prisoners are seen arriving for an exchange. At 11:30 the signing of the truce is seen.

We meet the “Weston Family,” and as the film opens a father and son argue over what to do with farm land they’re currently using as a cow pasture. Thanks to the son’s vocational agricultural class, he has learned new methods of farming that surpasses that of his father, who inherited the farm from his father.  The son ecounts a growing tension with his father over how to manage their farm’s pasture land, sparking a journey to learn about grassland farming. With guidance from experts like Dr. Myers and local agricultural agents, they discover the benefits of maintaining fertilized and renovated pastures, implementing rotation grazing, and using grass as a key crop to improve soil health, increase livestock production, and boost farm profitability. The narrative highlights the importance of sustainable practices, ongoing research, and gradual land improvement. Although the narrator doesn’t win a speaking contest on the topic, the family unites around the valuable knowledge gained and commits to better pasture management for their farm’s future success.

0:00 – The narrator reflects on his changing relationship with his father, marked by tension over farming decisions related to pasture management.
2:00 – They discuss the value of the pasture land, considering whether to sell it or improve it for better productivity and long-term benefit.
4:42 – The father explains how healthy grass protects the soil, reduces erosion, and supports sustainable farming practices.

This World War II training film KNOW YOUR ENEMY: GERMAN EQUIPMENT was originally made by the British Paramount News for the Ministry of Information.  The film attempts to educate soldiers, tankers and other combatants about the material resources and equipment of the German Wehrmacht, and discusses how to defeat tanks and other weapons with small arms and anti-personnel weapons.

"To know your enemy, know his weakness and his strength, gives you edge over him." Here we have more examples of German equipment which gives you edge over them.  At mark 1:15, we have a vehicle drawing a 3.7cm gun together with the ammunition carriage. The Germans are always told that the gun is on offensive not a defensive. 

Winter changes to spring and here’s still the same gun being used at mark 2:05. Their weight is 800 weights and can be easily concealed; 3.75cm, 1.45 inch for the best range of 400 yards with 12 rounds per minute. At mark 2:35, we have the Type 1 German tank with 5 small regular wheel bogies, 2 light machine guns, head-on direct fire should be directed on both slits, periscopes, and the joints between turrets and hull. At mark 3:37, we have the type2, 5 regular wheel boogies, it is armed with one light and one heavy machine gun, again, head-on fire can be effective. At mark 4:50, we have the type3; it has 5 to 6 or 8 regular small bogie wheels and with same features. It has a large door on each sides and a small round tunnit at the rear. Ammos consist of a 3.7cm or 1.45inch gun and 2 light machine guns. 

At mark 6:20, we have the type4 with regular small bogie wheels. Kind of similar to the type3, again with doors on both sides and the rear. It has a 7.5cm or 2.95 inch gun and 2 light machine guns. It has telescopes on two sides. And the same joint between the tunnit and the whole. For its heavy armor it’s very fast. You can distinguish all this by their bogie wheels. At mark 8:15, we have the 4wheeled ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6b03b612-0428-4d81-bf1a-695f85807ba7/9911fe77-8c43-4798-a0e4-e03332020b84-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/edrWgqjnz14NnKWrVDDy8r</video:player_loc><video:duration>1316</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:36:59.608Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kVcdjJ6SdFPwTUYPfwZX6b</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1cfc21ab-4144-4aaa-8ad3-c25f9b2da8b8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>UNDERGROUND MINING PART I  HISTORIC GERMAN FILM 43004</video:title><video:description>This 1930s German silent educational film shows miners descending into the depths of a large coal mine, and then their routine underground, shoring up the roof, and placing coal into a long conveyer belt so that it can be transported to the surface.

It includes successful tests and failures. If you watch closely you will see a visit by Nazi brass including Henrich Himmler (7:03 mark), one of the primary architects of the holocaust, and Wehrner Von Braun (7:17) the inventor of the V-2. The V-2 rocket (German: Vergeltungswaffe 2, i.e. retaliation weapon 2), technical name Aggregat-4 (A4), was a short-range ballistic missile that was developed at the beginning of the Second World War in Germany, specifically targeted at London and later Antwerp. The liquid-propellant rocket was the world's first long-range combat-ballistic missile and first known human artifact to enter outer space. It was the progenitor of all modern rockets, including those used by the United States and Soviet Union's space programs. During the aftermath of World War II the American, Soviet and British governments all gained access to the V-2's technical designs as well as the actual German scientists responsible for creating the rockets, via Operation Paperclip, Operation Osoaviakhim and Operation Backfire respectively. The weapon was presented by Nazi propaganda as a retaliation for the bombers that attacked ever more German cities from 1942 until Germany surrendered. Beginning in September 1944, over 3,000 V-2s were launched as military rockets by the German Wehrmacht against Allied targets during the war, mostly London and later Antwerp and Liege. According to a BBC documentary in 2011, the attacks resulted in the deaths of an estimated 9,000 civilians and military personnel, while 12,000 forced labourers and concentration camp prisoners were killed producing the weapons.

It begins with an assessment of bomb damage in Pilsen, where marshaling yards were struck by 500 bombers of the 8th Air Force. The Skoda Works is seen heavily damaged. At 1:57, the newsreel assesses the rocket jet plane Me-163, which first saw combat in 1944. The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet, designed by Alexander Lippisch, was a German rocket-powered fighter aircraft. It is the only rocket-powered fighter aircraft ever to have been operational and the first piloted aircraft of any type to exceed 1000 km/h (621 mph) in level flight. Its design was revolutionary and its performance unprecedented. German test pilot Heini Dittmar in early July 1944 reached 1,130 km/h (700 mph), an unofficial flight airspeed record unmatched by turbojet-powered aircraft for almost a decade. Over 300 aircraft were built, but the Komet proved ineffective in its dedicated role as an interceptor aircraft and was responsible for the destruction of only about nine to eighteen Allied aircraft against ten losses

At 4:00, Palawan in the Philippines is the scene where a floating aircraft repair ship is seen. An early helicopter is seen on board the ship, providing liaison service. A B-29 floating repair shop is seen off Iwo Jima, also with a helicopter on board. At 6:00, a helicopter is seen.

As World War II in the Pacific wore on, the military plans to attack Japan following the "island hopping" campaign that brought the Japanese Home Islands within bomber reach included some interesting logistical thinking. One part of the plan developed by the Army Air Force involved bringing aircraft repair shops to the airplanes instead on taking the aircraft to the shops. The ships carried two R-4B Sikorsky helicopters used for observation, spotting downed planes, rescue work and ferrying shipworkers and parts to and from Pacific islands. The Libertys were designated Aircraft Repair Units, Floating (ARUs), each with a total co...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/339fd0ff-b36e-489c-88dd-4128eee6994b/05fc424a-559c-419f-9cd1-7eb9684549eb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7nJMmfC8WtdQi54RhyBdWF</video:player_loc><video:duration>636</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:41:07.163Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Skoda Works</video:tag><video:tag>Me-163</video:tag><video:tag>helicopters in WWII</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hpFihR2F9LmLUTiHACUfwp</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8a88c2bf-7578-4c80-b906-0ff65defca73.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1936 BERLIN OLYMPICS OPENING CEREMONIES   GERMANY  87124</video:title><video:description>This silent educational film shows the opening ceremonies of the 1936 Summer Olympics, including the parade of athletes through the streets of Berlin, the torch lighting, the arrival of the Olympic Committee and Adolf Hitler at the Berlin Olympic Stadium, and the parade of athletes and national flags inside the stadium. 

The 1936 Summer Olympics (German: Olympische Sommerspiele 1936), officially known as the Games of the XI Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event that was held in 1936 in Berlin, Germany. Berlin won the bid to host the Games over Barcelona, Spain, on 26 April 1931, at the 29th IOC Session in Barcelona (two years before the Nazis came to power). It marked the second and final time the International Olympic Committee gathered to vote in a city that was bidding to host those Games.

To outdo the Los Angeles games of 1932, Adolf Hitler had built a new 100,000-seat track and field stadium, six gymnasiums, and many other smaller arenas. The games were the first to be televised, and radio broadcasts reached 41 countries.

Released by the U.S. Government and the U.S. Navy's Industrial Incentive Division, this WWII film reproduces a German newsreel "Fernbomber uber dem Atlantik" which showed dramatic images of the German Luftwaffe attacking an Allied convoy at sea. The point of the film (from an American perspective) was to inspire war workers to build more ships and supplies to "carry the fight to the enemy".  The film depicts a nighttime mission of a German Focke-Wulf Condor bomber as it silently leaves its hangar and prepares for a long-range attack on English ships located far out in the Atlantic Ocean. After hours of flight, the crew spots and attacks an enemy convoy, successfully sinking three ships and heavily damaging two others. Proud of their mission’s success, the bomber returns to base at dusk. The narration highlights that although the Germans saw this as a decisive blow, American production replaced the losses and continued the fight, emphasizing that ultimate victory depended on the combined efforts of American workers, factories, and fighters.

0:00 Titles
0:34 — Background music starts, setting the scene.
1:08 — The massive hangar doors open silently. A state-of-the-art Focke-Wulf Condor bomber rolls out onto the runway. Ground personnel in black uniforms prepare the aircraft for a night mission targeting English ships far out in the Atlantic, about 1500 km west of Ireland. Due to long flight times of 7-8 hours, the bomber is loaded with unusually large amounts of fuel.
1:46 — On the evening before the night takeoff, the plane’s commander receives the final mission orders from his squadron commander.
4:18 — After many hours of flying far from any coastline, the crew finally spots smoke signals indicating the enemy convoy. The attack position is reached, and preparations for assault begin, including readying the onboard weapons.
7:03 — The outcome of the attack: three enemy ships are sunk and two are severe...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d85c2d4f-8c41-4f82-aba4-2a37278abcba/3577123c-07f6-4536-aff3-22fc7015ee72-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/sHAcEZ4WSeVWRHKxotvJJo</video:player_loc><video:duration>655</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:42:49.739Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Luftwaffe</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/iKbSzWG19ukDCb8zKLcH4u</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6993efad-9fe0-4ef1-96c5-e7ce33931f1a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>UNITED STATES AIR FORCE SPACE PROGRAMS AT CAPE KENNEDY 1964    22104</video:title><video:description>The United States Air Force presents “Cape Kennedy 1964,” a color film examining operations at the John F. Kennedy Space Center in Florida in 1964. We learn how a communications satellite was launched from the space center that enabled people to watch live coverage of the Olympic Games from Tokyo, and more interestingly looks at some of the preparation for the Gemini program flights scheduled for 1965 and the ongoing development of Minuteman ballistic missile. At 4:30, Polaris ballistic missile tests are shown with a Polaris launched from a sub underwater. Engineers are shown working on the deadly weapons as the narrator explains their importance a test launch is shown beginning at mark 03:30. The success of missile tests led to the development of the Titan rocket. Although the Titan was used as an intercontinental ballistic missile deterrent they were also used to send highly successful interplanetary scientific probes and satellites into space, as well as all of the Project Gemini manned space flights of the mid-1960s. A Titan is shown on the launch pad starting at mark 05:05 while the narrator explains the technical aspects of the rocket and a Titan II rocket is shown blasting off at mark 05:40, and we learn about the planned launch of a Gemini spacecraft in 1965. President Lyndon B. Johnson is shown at Cape Kennedy at mark 06:45 for a closer look at the Gemini spacecraft, where he meets with astronauts Gus Grissom and John Young. (The two men formed the crew of Gemini 3, the program’s first manned mission.) There is an animation of the goals of Project Gemini (mark 07:20) including a planned space walk. The picture continues with further discussion of rocket tests including some for the Saturn rockets to be used for Project Apollo and an eventual moon landing, the narrator explains starting at mark 10:28.

This circa 1967 takes its viewer to Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War and examines the use and construction of US air bases during the conflict. We learn starting at mark 01:38 how existing air bases in Vietnam were quickly saturated with personnel and aircrafts as the military increased its presence in the region. The increase led military engineers and civilian contractors to construct two new air bases in South Vietnam by 1965 (mark 02:18). We see scenes of new runways and prefabricated buildings, and finally at mark 03:40 are shown the film’s title: “Operation Turnkey Tua Hua Air Base Construction.” (The base, near the South China Sea, was in operation between 1965–1966 and was used by the US Air Force in the II Corps Tactical Zone of South Vietnam. It was closed in 1970 and seized by the People's Army of Vietnam in April 1975. Today, the site has been redeveloped as Dong Tac Airport.) We finally learn how Operation Turnkey was a project involving the design, logistic support, and construction of airfields during the war. The film shows a montage of scenes as the narrator explains how the air field came to fruition, and the various civilian and military personnel responsible for the project. There is a look at the village as it was before it was “pressed between concrete and aluminum.” Maps of the air base and facilities and interspersed with scenes of engineers examining plans and eventually setting up a camp (mark 07:08). Air Force personnel and civilians are shown receiving shipments of supples and heavy equipment as the film continues, with a flurry of construction scenes shown starting at mark 13:00. Each step of the process is accompanied by a narration and it is excitedly revealed how the aluminum matting for the runway was finished by December 1966 (mark 20:44) — more than a month ahead of schedule — as an Air Force C-130 and C-134 are shown landing at the new airstrip. The aircraft carr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/81eeaa89-5b9a-466e-b535-a5b845ea6872/525025be-7611-4f56-8301-ff27fb464c76-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/h3A1DcmeNYD7b3BPKXq6yN</video:player_loc><video:duration>2168</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:47:15.682Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tn8xZogrMKFygYwPXJFvYQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/202e6d8e-e663-4478-a843-88afd04aa64b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s COSTA RICA TRAVELOGUE    CHILDREN OF DEMOCRACY 53094</video:title><video:description>Directed by pioneering female producer Fanchon Royer, "Children of Democracy" presents a rare view of Costa Rica as it appeared in the 1940s, with special focus on the nation's children. The narration is quite praiseful of the "tiny country" and its citizens both young and old who have "North American" attitudes, little poverty to speak of and labor problems. The film begins with images of tourists visiting Irazu volcano by horseback, and at 1:48 the Moravia church. The film also shows a typical day for school children (who are seen walking with no shoes on), and their local school. At 3:20, a child visits a shoe repair shop.  At 5:00, a typical Central American rain is seen. At 5:15, coffee and banana cultivation is referenced. At 5:35, a "living fence" is seen.  At 6:20, the village farmer's market is seen, with dulce being shown being sold along with "strange and delicious fruits". At 7:10, a trolley car is seen on the road to San Jose, the capitol. The National Theater is seen at 7:30, and a school at 7:46. At 8:13, the Costa Rican National University is seen.  The Ojo de Agua is seen at 9:00. At 9:40, a large cathedral is shown. 

Born in 1902 in Iowa, Fanchon Royer produced over thirty films with her own company, Fanchon Royer Productions. Her films were made quickly and cheaply, in four to six days at a cost of no more than $20,000. She formed a new production company in 1940, Way of Life Films, to make educational and industrial films. After converting to Catholicism in 1943, she began producing religious films. In 1945 she moved to Mexico, where she produced, wrote, and directed two films, Bell Ringer of Antigua  and A Fighter for True Peace, as the Los Angeles Times reported in 1948 (A3). In addition, she wrote a book, The Mexico We Found, about her adventures filming throughout Mexico and Guatemala, as well as her family’s adventures living there. In 1957 her father died and Royer used her inheritance to buy a fruit farm in Teziutlan, Puebla, Mexico, w...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dd9a044c-7e47-4d5f-b39c-aa464f4016cc/257297de-72da-42b1-9491-e17066eed70c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tn8xZogrMKFygYwPXJFvYQ</video:player_loc><video:duration>643</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:46:46.092Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/c8Kueh74d7R9KVkkUaJtFM</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d578c862-5c2e-46ba-9aac-fd8065c874f6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1962 CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS DOCUMENTARY  "ONE WEEK IN OCTOBER"  22084</video:title><video:description>Released in 1964 by the Department of Defense and the Office of Civil Defense, ONE WEEK IN OCTOBER tells the gripping story of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. The events of that week are vividly re-created through original American reconnaissance plane footage and extensive tension-packed scenes of the faces and voices of the key figures involved: President John F. Kennedy, Robert McNamara, Dean Rusk and Adlai Stevenson. Yet "One Week in October" had a message to promote, beyond merely re-telling the events of that fateful week — promoting fallout shelters and the National Fallout Shelter System. The film's postscript (28:30) is all about "shelter space" and how "fallout protection" would be vital "to our national survival", and that while progress has been made in this area "more work must be done".

These individuals were trained in first aid, fire fighting, and gas and chemical warfare as well as plane spotting.  During the blackout in the USA, wardens enforced regulations to keep lights out and blinds drawn at all times. 

The American wardens traced their origins to Britain.  During the early stages of World War II, the Air Ministry had forecast that Britain would suffer night air bombing attacks causing large numbers of civilian casualties and mass destruction. It was widely agreed that navigation and targeting would be more difficult if man-made lights on the ground could be extinguished.  

Blackout regulations were imposed in the UK on 1 September 1939, before the declaration of war. These required that all windows and doors should be covered at night with suitable material such as heavy curtains, cardboard or paint, to prevent the escape of any glimmer of light that might aid enemy aircraft. The Government ensured that the necessary materials were available. External lights such as street lights were switched off, or dimmed and shielded to deflect light downward. Essential lights such as traffic lights and vehicle headlights were fitted with slotted covers to deflect their beams downwards to the ground.

Blackouts proved one of the more unpleasant aspects of the war, disrupting many civilian activities and causing widespread grumbling and lower morale. The blackout was enforced by civilian ARP wardens who would ensure that no buildings allowed the slightest chink or glow of light. Offenders were liable to stringent legal penalties.

Blackout restrictions greatly increased the dangers of night driving and fatalities increased as a consequence. As a result, some aspects were relaxed and speed limits were lowered. The anticipated increase in crime rates did not occur.

The United States was not expose...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/287a8ed6-7004-4e13-b41b-84fb4e09cc84/57d4a7b1-a25d-435b-a405-a8f9d28e432d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5ZUUVkBP1mET4RqHig9Bm1</video:player_loc><video:duration>807</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:49:13.516Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rAXhxR57M8J4U5mYhRTByV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/03ab9f10-d2be-4a36-b826-294d4e178fa7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SOVIET AIR FORCE &amp; NAVY  1967 COLD WAR PROPAGANDA FILM 52574</video:title><video:description>Made in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Soviet Revolution in 1967, this Soviet Air Force &amp; Navy propaganda film shows the military might and capabilities of the country in the late 1960s, as its jets raced to new heights, and its nuclear submarines patrolled the world's oceans and arctic regions, helping the USSR achieve superpower status. 

The film begins with images of the fall of Berlin and tomb of the unknown soldier, and talks about how now a "new generation" of men are called to support the state.  Narration:  (00:00:00) "The capture of the Reichstag building took place in Western Berlin; the eternal accomplishment of the Soviet Army’s soldiers will never get erased from the people’s minds. Unfortunately, not everyone could reach here and stay alive until this moment.  Now, a new generation will immortalize the name of their elders who have been heroes."  At (1:35) a monument is seen to two soldiers who heroically blocked the enemy advance, and 18 who perished doing so. Narrator: "There are many similar fights ..that are unknown now."  At (3:20), the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and war monuments are seen at the Kremlin. Narrator: "These engines are stable, these tanks are steadfast, these weapons are rusty. No one’s hands have touched the knobs and no one looks in the target hole anymore. However, these weapons will never get old and will always stay in place, and the courage of their crew will always stay alive."

At 4:26, Soviet jets are seen. These are Tupolev Tu-28 (NATO reporting name Fiddler) long-range interceptor aircraft,  the largest and heaviest fighter ever in service. At 4:56, The Tupolev Tu-22 (NATO reporting name: Blinder) supersonic bombers (first supersonic bomber to enter production in the USSR) are seen. Manufactured by Tupolev, the Tu-22 entered service with the Soviet military in the 1960s. At 7:00, Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 (NATO reporting name: Fishbed)  supersonic jet fighter aircraft are seen scrambling and then a mock combat / ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/cf55d352-461a-4b0f-956e-2513194bab69/92a83e0f-e8ae-41e6-b052-d21adf151f1d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rAXhxR57M8J4U5mYhRTByV</video:player_loc><video:duration>1699</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:50:32.314Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cYPEyn2PTmt66hYjtSveNz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c2a325fc-e1c8-4aa5-96fa-5e0e37ec5260.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BUILDING OF ROCKEFELLER CENTER &amp; RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL PART II 79184</video:title><video:description>One of a series of 16mm silent films made by architect Walter Harrington Kilham, Jr., this historic film shows the construction of Rockefeller Center and Radio City Music Hall. Kilham also authored a book, "Rockefeller Center: a pictorial record from photographs" published in 1933. Kilham worked directly underneath architect Raymond Hood, the chief designer of Rockefeller Center, and his films document history in the making.

This film contains with incredible images of the building of the foundations of Rockefeller Center, and also iron workers in the heights above the city, emplacing steel and riveting beams into place. Some sections are shot in "time lapse" style, showing the construction process as it progressed over the course of months.  It :41, a Zeppelin (possibly the Hindenburg) is seen flying over the city. At :58, the 444 Madison Avenue building is seen, a 42-story, Art Deco skyscraper originally built in 1929 that occupies a full blockfront of midtown Manhattan. The views that follow are possibly shot from 444 Madison, showing the vast construction site for Rockefeller Center.  At 3:00, various "time lapse" shots of the complex are shown, showing progress in construction. 

At 6:47, ground level shots are seen of skyscrapers, including the facade of the Radio City Music Hall at 7:20. At 7:36 is a particularly interesting shot of the "Radio City" sign obscured by the New York Elevated platform.

Featuring a swinging jazz score (the film had it’s own soundtrack titled “"Music to Make Automobiles By”), the film opens with a segment on the punch-card auto dial telephone of the future with a similar method utilized by airline ticket agents. At mark 02:20 we’re taken inside a Volkswagen assembly plant and the narrator explains how some of the monotony and physical stress of repeated movements can be alleviated by technology. Machines are already in use for such tasks as creating a payroll (mark 03:30) or ordering supplies, so an apparatus can be used in creating an automobile faster and more economically. At mark 04:40 we see some of those machines at work, taking over with “inexhaustible accuracy” jobs workers had performed. Describing the movement as a choreography of robot ballets, the film shows machines drilling and cutting their way through the car-making process. Engine blocks make their way down an assembly line at mark 08:20 where the machine’s work undergoes human inspection for accuracy. “Once man was just a clever beast of burden,” says the narrator at mark 11:00. “He has now given his old task to the machine so that he may be human.” The film rolls on as machines perform mundane tasks and humans check their accuracy, and at mark 15:17 we’re told how devices have actually created jobs for engineers, salesman, managers, and in several other areas. “Man’s great desire is the chance to use his mind … to make everything better,” it’s said at mark 18:18. “Here, every man is encouraged. Every day brings change.”

EUCOM is one of nine Unified Combatant Commands of the United States military. The film opens by telling us how Europe has grown past the atrocities of World War II to once again become a thriving place to live and visit, while still able to link “the vibrant present to the picturesque past” (mark 01:00). There’s a look back on WW2 and how most nations of the world set aside their weapons and worked toward rebuilding a peacetime world. The exception — the Soviet Union — which we’re told starting at mark 02:15 continued warlike and aggressive ways. Despite a blockade of Berlin in 1948, as shown starting at mark 02:50, the Allied forces devoted themselves to assisting the German people via the Berlin airlift, which carried supplies to the people of West Berlin. Even so, the Soviet Union “still threatens an unarmed Europe” (mark 04:04). As a result, several countries unite to create North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the development of EUCOM, headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, as well as Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE),  the headquarters of NATO’s Allied Command Operations. 

The film continues with a discussion of the various duties and responsibilities of EUCON and watch as troops participate in various training exercises. Among the responsibilities is border surveillance (mark 08:40) including spots “along the line of Communist barbed wire … (that) keep an imprisoned people in.” There are scenes from an industrious and prosperous West Berlin and the Berlin Wall that splits the city in half (mark 09:25) and we see Soviet troops march in unison. There’s also a look at Southern European Task Force headquarters in Italy (mark 10:52) and some of the pageantry and responsibility involved with that assignment, and United States Naval Forces Headquarters in London (mark 12:05).

Kilham worked directly underneath architect Raymond Hood, the chief designer of Rockefeller Center, and his films document history in the making.

This film contains with incredible images of bricklayers at work and the work of pipefitters and iron workers in the heights above the city, emplacing steel and riveting beams into place. The film also shows how granite and limestone selected, moved, shaped and emplaced for the construction project. 

At 3:30, "topping out" of building 10 is seen. At 7:00, the interior of the Radio City Music Hall Theater is seen, with the curtain in place. At 8:00, artist Ezra Winter is seen painting the mural in the Grand Foyer. At 9:52, the bronze foundry is seen casting architectural elements for the building.

Title cards appear in the film, but unfortunately we don't have a script or key to explain their meaning. Clearly, Kilham intended to present a lecture about the project using the film. 

Rockefeller Center is a large complex consisting of 19 high-rise commercial buildings covering 22 acres (89,000 m2) between 48th and 51st Streets in New York City. Commissioned by the Rockefeller family, it is located in the center of Midtown Manhattan, spanning the area between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1987.

It was the largest private building project ever undertaken in modern times. Construction of the 14 buildings in the Art Deco style (without the original opera house proposal) began on May 17, 1930, and the buildings were completed and opened in 1939. Principal builder and "managing agent" for the massive project was John R. Todd. Principal architect was Raymond Hood, working with and leading three archi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/36f6e125-3c12-49de-972f-6c1f220c046b/c8bade9f-07cb-4492-8243-df0bb738f3eb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7MEg1Q3vj1iyaqoEhw4GB6</video:player_loc><video:duration>779</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:53:44.280Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Rockefeller Center</video:tag><video:tag>New York City</video:tag><video:tag>Radio City Music Hall</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9SsvHULZk6bumKKsjq3VcH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ad410305-21ff-4600-ad4c-6dca39604e9f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BUILDING RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL 1932   STEEL FRAME ERECTION  STEEPLEJACKS 79164</video:title><video:description>One of a series of 16mm silent films made by architect Walter Harrington Kilham, Jr., this historic film shows the construction of the metal skeleton of Radio City Music Hall. Kilham also authored a book, "Rockefeller Center: a pictorial record from photographs" published in 1933. Kilham worked directly underneath architect Raymond Hood, the chief designer of Rockefeller Center, and his films document history in the making.

This film contains with incredible images of steel erection and the work of steeplejacks / ironworkers in the heights above the city, emplacing steel and riveting beams into place. As the film notes, a 300 ton steel truss was emplaced -- largest in the world at that time. 

Radio City Music Hall is an entertainment venue located in Rockefeller Center in New York City. Its nickname is the Showplace of the Nation, and it was for a time the leading tourist destination in the city. Its interior was declared a city landmark in 1978. It is notable as being the headquarters for the precision dance company, the Rockettes.

Designed by Edward Durell Stone, the interior of the theater with its austere Art Deco lines represented a break with the traditional ornate rococo ornament associated with movie palaces at the time. The radiating arches of the proscenium united the large auditorium, allowing a sense of intimacy as well as grandeur. The interior decor was created by designer Donald Deskey. Deskey's geometric Art Deco designs incorporate glass, aluminum, chrome, and leather in the ornament for the theater's wall coverings, carpet, light fixtures, and furniture. His work borrowed heavily from the European Modern aesthetic style, of which he was the foremost exponent in the United States.

The movie tells through footage and title cards, the strange story of the life of Edward VIII, who became king of England and then abdicated just a year later so that he could marry the American divorcee Wallis Simpson. The scandal shook all of civilization (even more than Angie and Brad) and was natural fodder for exploitation. The film begins with historic footage of Edward as Duke of Windsor and follows his career through World War I and beyond. 

Background on this:  Edward VIII (Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David; 23 June 1894 – 28 May 1972) was King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Empire, and Emperor of India, from 20 January 1936 until his abdication on 11 December the same year.

Edward was the eldest son of George V and Mary of Teck. He was named Prince of Wales on his sixteenth birthday, nine weeks after his father succeeded as king. As a young man, he served in the British Army during the First World War and undertook several overseas tours on behalf of his father.

Edward became king on his father's death in early 1936. However, he showed impatience with court protocol, and caused concern among politicians by his apparent disregard for established constitutional conventions. Only months into his reign, he caused a constitutional crisis by proposing marriage to Wallis Simpson, an American who had divorced her first husband and was seeking a divorce from her second. The prime ministers of the United Kingdom and the Dominions opposed the marriage, arguing that a divorced woman with two living ex-husbands was politically and socially unacceptable as a prospective queen consort. Additionally, such a marriage would have conflicted with Edward's status as the titular head of the Church of England, which at the time disapproved of remarriage after divorce if a former spouse ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a04f7d78-c7a3-4f0e-aa1d-cb1f32379248/12b15124-5b15-4e6c-aa5c-9e05072f0df8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/kNaa1uaowisB2R2cShQuME</video:player_loc><video:duration>767</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T13:57:35.014Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wSgBp9KBxBzmoctvQ7xWY4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/df6d54e4-643d-40ad-a971-289311992fcd.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" ETHIOPIA IN THE FREE WORLD " ETHIOPIAN KAGNEW BATTALIONS IN THE KOREAN WAR   52814</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

The company’s New Horizons series advertised these intercontinental flights to such locations as Uruguay, one of the world’s purest democracies.” This 1965 color film opens with a montage of scenes from around the South American country as the narrator briefly tells us about the discovery of the country in the 1500s and how modern travelers are encouraged “to pause (and) take in the easy, congenial mood of Uruguay’s metropolis” as we see additional scenes from around the capital, Montevideo. Tourists are seen sipping on coffee and tea and we’re told near mark 03:00 how you can feel comfortable there because “the country is good natured without being light headed; intelligent without being ostentatious.” There are a variety of scenes of natives and tourists milling about the streets and sidewalks as a Latin beat plays in the background. There is a visit to the Plaza Artigas (mark 03:45) and the presidential palace before again turning to the streets and images of kids playing soccer as well the Monumento la Carreta, an epic sculpture depicting a wagon and straining oxen that honors of the ox-cart drivers of the 19th century (mark 05:00).

It opens by mentioning how a camera lens can capture any moment for posterity’s sake. Although most people see a lens only as a glass object “with mysterious properties” (mark 01:10), the narrator notes that “the lens is a think of beauty, an accessory to the human eye.” At mark 02:10 the narrator explains how all lenses and prisms are made of glass prior to launching into a discussion of how such items are produced, while the process unfolds on the screen. It’s explained how lenses have a variety of uses, including binoculars, cameras, and sextants. In an era before computers, mathematical work is seen (that can last up to a year!) to figure out proper lens shape. At mark 03:15, the film reminds us that as Britain became embroiled in WW2, lenses were used for such devices as field glasses and aerial cameras. In peacetime, they are also used by optometrists to correct eyesight (mark 03:55). By mark 05:50 there is a discussion of how sand is used in the making lenses and the process involved. Several minutes later, at mark 09:30, lenses are shown being refined and polished, with one finished product — a prism — being checked for accuracy at mark 12:45. Other lenses are shown at mark 13:52 projecting and making films. “In peacetime … the British optical industry reflects in its own fine products the determination to supply none but the best,” the narrator says at mark 16:00.

The film presents a rare look at Soviet strategic capabilities in the era immediately after the Cuban Missile Crisis. (Note: this version of the film is dubbed in Arabic, and is not in Russian). 

Narration: (00:00) "This movie is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution. Before us exists an edict that is historically significant. It is about the establishment of the Red Army and signed by Vladimir Lenin.  This marks the beginning of the Red Army.:  At (1:49), is a song about the Soviet Army. At (3:50), an underground military bunker is seen, home to a nuclear tipped ICBM. The narrator declares: "These missiles can hit the target no matter how far it is. Where is it? How many? It has to be said that these strategic missiles are where they are supposed to be and that their number is as supposed to be, too." At 6:21, mobile ICBMs are seen moving through the forest as part of a military exercise. At 8:00, units are seen operating early warning and radar equipment in the frozen wastes, where tracked vehicles are used to deliver mail (9:18). More early warning is seen at 10:30, narrator: "
The enemy’s plane is in square 4147 and it does not respond to our signal. The square 4147, the enemy’s plane has been discovered. Height is 6000 and the direction is 45….got it. Ready the combat missiles for the fight." At (12:27), anti-aircraft missiles are readied while pilots scramble to fighter aircraft. These are Tupolev Tu-28 (NATO reporting name Fiddler), long-range interceptor aircraft introduced by the Soviet Union in the 1960s. Narrator: "The aggressor aircraft is destroyed in square 4149. I would like to express my appreciation to all of the participants in the inspection training.Each day and night, every inch of t...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/235a7a40-134b-4aa1-92e5-cbda367a7e06/88341ac2-bb94-467d-9b93-e7725520550b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5ncRomLhU1PSt92NfBwLfb</video:player_loc><video:duration>2345</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T14:02:21.070Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/c7m5mJfNrG1nLZTkWDALbo</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/14a66903-be03-4430-a0d3-d4e3ac6961e2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA  TUCSON 1953 PROMOTIONAL FILM   84774</video:title><video:description>This silent footage shows the University of Arizona in Tucson as it appeared in 1953. It's possible this footage was used, lecture style, to promote the U of A in this period, or that it was part of a much longer film with sound, or that it was intended for something else. We simply don't know! What we do know is that in the early 2000s, this print was sold as part of a UofA auction. One of the owners of Periscope Film is a Wildcat, and he managed to secure it from the auction winner -- and thus you can see it today.

The film begins with shots of some of the campus including the Student Union (:59) which was likely almost new at the time (it has now been replaced with a much larger building). If you're familiar with the modern UofA campus, keep watching the film and you'll notice how much empty space there is to be seen -- there were probably fewer than 30 buildings at this time. 

A Mormon church is seen at 1:17, and the Newman Center at 1:22. At 1:29 you will see a football game pitting the University of Arizona Wildcats vs. the Texas Tech Red Raiders, which the UofA lost 27-52 (in 1953 they had a miserable 4-5-1 record). At 2:00, a float comes by with "Raiders Walk the Plank" on the side. (Present-day Wildcats will be surprised to see how small the stadium was in this era, with one side appearing entirely open and a running track dividing the stands from the field). At 3:03, there is what appears to be a mine -- and at this time the School of Mines was an important part of the University. At 3:25, the search for uranium is shown -- an important element in post-WWII. At 3:57, students are seen working with molten metals.

At 4:15, a horse corral is seen. At 4:40, the University of Arizona's intercollegiate rodeo is seen at the Tucson Rodeo Grounds. At 5:00, the Botany Office is seen, a reminder that the UofA was principally a typical state college of its era, devoted to farming and agricultural advancement.

At 5:40, an art class is seen painting a church, and...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/59f75c0f-d738-4645-8aa1-5d61cd8b842a/a39d9046-9081-4ebd-8a41-789d302ce21e-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/c7m5mJfNrG1nLZTkWDALbo</video:player_loc><video:duration>632</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T14:02:29.163Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/hEPpbY1kLxZXipuRhNyf1e</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b9d36d3d-4779-4381-90da-fe59111a3c14.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE RACE TO SPACE  1960s DOCUMENTARY  ALAN SHEPARD  JOHN GLENN 50444a</video:title><video:description>The circa 1962 black-and-white film “The Race to Space” recounts exploration of the world and beyond, opening with a reference to the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union and the Tiros-1 satellite (the first successful low-Earth orbital weather satellite). The film quickly moves on to the exploration of the Marianas Trench in January 1960 (mark 00:50) with Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard on board the United States Navy-owned bathyscaphe Trieste reached, as well as US naval superiority with the launch of the USS George Washington (SSBN-598) was the world's first operational ballistic missile submarine (mark 01:01). Yet the main focus of the film proves to be space, as we meet the chimpanzees NASA would use (in 1963) to test a manned capsule as part of Project Mercury. Following scenes of a chimp’s medical example, one is shown at mark 01:56 testing controls on the ground. At mark 02:57 we see a Redstone rocket on a launch pad at Cape Canaveral as Ham the chimpanzee is prepared for launch as part of Project Mercury in January 1961. During the 16-minute flight, Ham's lever-pushing performance in space was only a fraction of a second slower than on Earth, demonstrating that tasks could be performed in space, and when Ham’s capsule is opened at mark 05:55 he shows no ill effects of the journey. 

As the film continues, an Atlas rocket is shown on its launch pad at mark 06:32 during a test to carry an unmanned Mercury capsule into space before being retrieved from the ocean, adding proof that the spacecraft — and the Mercury astronauts — could survive plummeting into the ocean. The Mercury Seven — Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard, and Deke Slayton — are shown onstage at mark 07:26, while at mark 07:42 a Soviet rocket with cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin aboard. (In April 1961, Gagarin became the first human to journey into outer space when his Vostok spacecraft completed an orbit of the Earth.)

We are told at mark 01:15 that since 1946, every new nation in Southeast Asia has annually celebrated its day of independence, such as the Philippines, India, Pakistan, Burma, Ceylon, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaya, as the countries are highlighted on a map. The narrator defines nationalism (mark 02:07) as the belief of a people that they ought to be unified into an independent nation. “A homeland.” We learn of the control over Asian nations by European forces in the 19th century, known as colonialism, which forced residents to become second-class citizens. Utilizing the region for its natural resources and strategic benefits, colonial leaders also imported their own leadership and legal systems — often restricting natives’ rights (mark 05:04). The narrator explains, however, that the European leaders also benefited the colonies through improved medical facilities and education. At mark 06:00 we learn how Southeast Asian nations, having fought in World War II and seen what independence as a nation has to offer, began to resist the notion of any outside control. Burmese nationalists are shown squabbling with British forces at mark 06:25, eventually leading to independence in that nation. Similar events are shown playing out in Indonesia (mark 06:40), although Communism also took control in some regions such as Vietnam (mark 07:30), leading to the creation of North and South Vietnam, in addition to the creation of Laos and Cambodia. Some countries, such as Malaya, welcomed back their British leaders (mark 09:12), mainly due to the three racial groups in the country (Malays, Chinese, and Indians) mistrusting each other and their power. In 1957, the country was granted independence as elections are shown at mark 09:30. The film also tells the viewer of leadership in other nations such as the Philippines, Thailand, India, and Pakistan. At mark 13:25, we are told how the Soviet Union has tried to a...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/100595b1-0d9d-47f9-8da7-57327791bb27/df8d9e44-e139-4e02-863a-1d71a4353f0c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/2YKtMHTGwGWmJCsdeih3f4</video:player_loc><video:duration>1008</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T14:03:43.706Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t3pTpKQbKNhZmXPpQM5QPX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7dc6c6e2-0eff-4608-bb89-927782848bad.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"SHORTEST RAILROAD IN THE WORLD" LOS ANGELES ANGEL'S FLIGHT FUNICULAR 1940s 52704a</video:title><video:description>This short, silent film shows the famous Los Angeles Angel's Flight in operation at its original location. It was known as the "shortest railroad in the world." Built in 1901 with financing from Colonel J.W. Eddy, as the Los Angeles Incline Railway, Angels Flight began at the west corner of Hill Street at Third and ran for two blocks uphill (northwestward) to its Olive Street terminus. Angels Flight consisted of two vermillion "boarding stations" and two cars, named Sinai and Olivet, pulled up the steep incline by metal cables powered by engines at the upper Olive Street station. As one car ascended, the other descended, carried down by gravity. An archway labeled "Angels Flight" greeted passengers on the Hill Street entrance, and this name became the official name of the railway in 1912 when the Funding Company of California purchased the railway from its founders.

The original Angels Flight was a conventional funicular, with both cars connected to the same haulage cable. Unlike more modern funiculars it did not have track brakes for use in the event of cable breakage, but it did have a separate safety cable which would come into play in case of breakage of the main cable. It operated for 68 years with a good safety record.

The only fatality that involved the original Angels Flight occurred in the autumn of 1943, when a sailor attempting to walk up the track itself was crushed beneath one of the cars.

The railway was closed on May 18, 1969 when the Bunker Hill area underwent a controversial total redevelopment  the funicular was rebuilt and reopened on February 24, 1996, half a block south of the original site. Although the original cars, Sinai and Olivet, were used, a new track and haulage system was designed and built. The new Angel's Flight suffered two major accidents, one of them fatal. Angels Flight remains closed pending resolution of problems identified by the NTSB.

HMS Collingwood is the lead establishment of the Maritime Warfare School and the largest naval training organization in Western Europe. The Maritime Warfare School is a federated training establishment incorporating HMS Excellent, the Defence Diving School, the RN Physical Training School, the School of Hydrography and Meteorology in Plymouth and the Royal Marines School of Music in Portsmouth Naval Base.

The film shows student recruits at the shore establishment studying electronics, radio, ordnance, and control. Each rating undergoes a 6-week course during the first year of RN training. An radio apprentice is shown assembling an oscilloscope from scratch (3:33) and then going through a problem solving drill. At (4:00), a control apprentice is seen maintaining a ship's phonograph / record player, while ordnance men move gun barrels into position. At (6:43), a Seacat missile system launcher and director are seen being examined by apprentices. The Seaslug is seen at 7:27, being gone over by electrical trainees, and a launch at sea is shown as the film concludes. 

More on this ... HMS Collingwood gained its name from Lord Collingwood, a distinguished admiral at the turn of the 19th century. The current shore establishment was commissioned as the fourth HMS Collingwood on 10 January 1940, initially to instruct "hostilities only" ratings of the seaman branch. Wireless telegraphy ratings started their training in June 1940, and a radio direction finding school was added in 1942. In 1946 Collingwood took over the training of both officers and ratings in the maintenance of all electrical and radio equipment in the fleet, except that of the Fleet Air Arm.

The Maritime Warfare School was formed in January 2002 as part of the British Government's Defence Training Review with, in particular, the transfer in of trainin...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8f5321b3-d7d4-49a5-a1ac-83d1dd6901e3/9bdd6c98-f5d6-4a33-a1d7-577388f22234-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iGvfhjKaqmtjKtU4zraGQc</video:player_loc><video:duration>508</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T14:04:50.298Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/idPKZeKtmBa6PQ1AKjCAJn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2883c3dd-6738-4e38-ae33-fd676551c282.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE 6th MARINE DIVISION ON OKINAWA 1945 PACIFIC CAMPAIGN WORLD WAR II 20912</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Created in 1945, this rare color documentary THE 6TH MARINE DIVISION ON OKINAWA film shows the massive battle for the island of Okinawa, focusing on the activities of the American 6th Marine Division.  The 6th was formed in September 1944. During the invasion of Okinawa it saw combat at Yae-Take and Sugar Loaf Hill and was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation. The 6th Division had also prepared for the invasion of Japan before the war ended. After the war it served in Tsingtao, China where the division was disbanded on April 1, 1946, being the only Marine division to be formed and disbanded overseas and never set foot in the United States.  

The Division's initial objectives in the amphibious landing on Okinawa was the capture of Yontan Airfield while protecting the left (North) Flank.Despite a Japanese battalion in their zone the Division met only light resistance and by the 3rd day was approaching Iskhikawa, twelve days ahead of schedule. By 14 April, the division had swept all through the northern Ishikawa Isthmus – 55 miles from the original landings. The division's rapid advance continued until eventually they encountered prepared and dug-in defenders at Yae-Take, where the majority of the Udo Force was entrenched. The Udo Force, or Kunigami Detachment, under Colonel Takehiko Udo was built around the 2d Infantry Unit of the 44th Independent Mixed Brigade – reinforced by having absorbed both former sea-raiding suicide squadrons and remnants of the Battalion earlier destroyed by the 6th – was responsible for defense of the Motobu Peninsula and Ie Shima. The 6th Division's drive captured most of northern Okinawa and the Division won praise for its fast campaign – Brigadier General Oliver P. Smith wrote: "The campaign in the north should dispel the belief held by some that Marines are beach-bound and are not capable of rapid movement."

After heavy fighting in the south, the division was ordered to re...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8b75b6f1-0f90-43b5-835b-99f97e3a5981/b68d870e-355f-4484-b6ee-54b348f286e5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/idPKZeKtmBa6PQ1AKjCAJn</video:player_loc><video:duration>3081</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T14:12:15.317Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7JpyNarAmWDTwhAva1ThnS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/aef1a6c8-f8ad-4f90-90cf-c7eb84faa16c.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE HOLY LAND"  1934 TOUR OF JERUSALEM, JAFFA, WESTERN WALL, TOWER OF DAVID  52294</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

RKO Radio Pictures presents “The Holy Land,” a 1934 black-and-white film that was part of the Vagabond Adventure Series. Opening with the Easter hymn “Jesus Christ is Risen Today,” the film quickly takes the viewer to the Israeli seaport city of Jaffa (mark 00:35). The film explores the ancient and historic region around the Mediterranean seaport of Jaffa, known for its fruit industry and challenging anchorage, before journeying to Jerusalem. It highlights the traditional lifestyles of local people, such as the irrigation practices and women carrying water, contrasting ancient customs with modern developments. The narrative then focuses on Jerusalem’s religious and historical significance, featuring sites like the Western Wall and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. It captures the deep spiritual devotion of pilgrims from many faiths, especially during Easter celebrations, illustrating a vibrant blend of history, culture, and enduring faith in this unique land.

0:00– Jaffa is described as the seaport of Jerusalem and an important center for the fruit industry, especially known for sweet Jaffa oranges.

1:06 – The narrator meets an old friend, Yo Corey, who now runs a stationery store in Jaffa thanks to General Allenby's conquest of the Holy Land.

Willys, the “World’s Largest Manufacturer of Utility Vehicles,” presents the “Jeep Family of 4-Wheel Drive Vehicles and Special Equipment,” a circa 1954 black-and-white film promoting Jeeps produced for civilian use. Following the success of Jeeps during World War II, the film opens with an explanation of how the vehicles soon their way to civilian use. Some of the vehicles seen in this film are used by construction companies, farmers, firefighters, and even at airports to tow aircraft and move cargo trailers and plow snow. At mark 02:49 the film introduces other types of Jeep equipment, such as a generator that turns the vehicle “into a mobile source of electric power to operate saws, communication equipment, motion picture equipment, flood and spotlights. And indeed any electrical equipment that must be moved around over bad terrain or in bad weather.” Scenes also capture telephone company repair crews, oil field crews, plus local and state road crews and construction companies. A Jeep is shown at a cemetery at mark 04:03 moving sand, shrubs, and burial equipment around the grounds in addition to lifting memorial markers. The viewer learns about variable engine speeds beginning at mark 05:55 with an up-close look at an engine and a discussion of its power, as well as various ways that power can be tapped for various operations. As it continues the film touts the Jeep rotary cutter (mark 07:45) as high brush is cut down, a hammer mill (mark 08:15), and a trencher (mark 08:30). There are forklift attachments, front and rear winches, as a front winch is shown a dead tree from the ground (mark 10:10). The sales pitch rolls on at mark 11:42 showing some Jeep steel tops including the half-cab, master, and standard top — “each one designed for a special purpose but all three designed to stand up in rough hard service year after year.” Mark 12:00 begins an explanation of the vehicle’s 4-wheel drive capabiliti...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1c9e2aec-1e99-4bc2-a7e7-a1500bc08233/ff00b2d5-a237-40f0-9ea3-a5f61483fcc6-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4wXTatTTh9AzAYRNctkKTi</video:player_loc><video:duration>1269</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T14:15:13.414Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cztxN1amnPAiXuART5xjAe</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3756044e-9d59-42d3-9f00-a086db860069.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1930s CLEVELAND OHIO, DOBECKMUN CELLOPHANE BAG MANUFACTURING FILM 52904</video:title><video:description>Made by Dobeckmun, a leading manufacturer of cellophane bags for the retail industry and one of the great companies of 1930s Cleveland, Ohio, MAKING DRESSING OF SHIMMERING TRANSPARENCY is a silent industrial film highlighting the company and the city in which it resides. This rare color film begins with images of downtown Cleveland from the air (actually, a skyscraper roof) before showing the city from a "motor car" (1:25). At 1:43 the Dobeckmun Company plant is seen, and then interior shots showing reception areas, the company switchboard, credit department, factory floor, dentist office and infirmary, and more.

Dobeckmun (short for Dolan, Becker and Munson -- the co-founders) made cellophane bags and cigar pouches, and you will see the steps to create them shown in the film (including a potato chip bag sample sent in the mail at 6:50). The company was the first in the USA to have a laminating process for cellophane, and had branch offices around the USA, and a second factory in Berkeley, California. The factory shown may have been the one located at 3301 Monroe Street in Cleveland. Dobeckmun was bought by the Dow Chemical Company, which owned the license of cellophane in the USA, in 1957.

Dobeckmun also developed a product called Lurex, a non-tarnishable metallic thread used in fabric, and zip tape, the cellophane strip used for opening packages of chewing gum and cigarettes. This may very well be what is seen at the 13:23 mark "threads of beauty". 

Cellophane is a thin, transparent sheet made of regenerated cellulose. Its low permeability to air, oils, greases, bacteria, and water makes it useful for food packaging. "Cellophane" is in many countries a registered trade mark of Innovia Films Ltd based in Wigton, Cumbria, United Kingdom.

Cellophane was invented by Swiss chemist Jacques E. Brandenberger while employed by Blanchisserie et Teinturerie de Thaon. In 1900, inspired by seeing a wine spill on a restaurant's tablecloth, he decided to create a cloth th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5dc10bfc-be7a-4368-9db5-b3515f262f81/4fe2e791-52ff-4c5d-a73a-eb9f299c1343-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cztxN1amnPAiXuART5xjAe</video:player_loc><video:duration>975</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T14:17:19.783Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/aoxCfYsjpqSM4x8AHKz9vT</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/14205a32-fb1b-4a5b-b0ab-40db00858c2a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SOUTH POLE CITY 1957-58  BUILDING OF AMUNDSEN-SCOTT SOUTH POLE STATION 52744</video:title><video:description>Presented by Douglas Aircraft and the U.S. Air Force, SOUTH POLE CITY was written by famed author Richard Tregaskis (whose WWII books are much beloved). The film tells the story of Antarctic operations and the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station, a United States scientific research station at the South Pole, the southernmost place on the Earth. It was built during November 1956, as a part of its commitment to the scientific goals of the International Geophysical Year (IGY), an international effort lasting from January 1957 through June 1958, to study, among other things, the geophysics of the polar regions.

The film promotes the use of Douglas Globemaster II C-124 aircraft which were used to supply all materials to construct the base and keep it going. The Globemaster II served in Operation Deep Freeze in 1955-56, and proved a valuable aircraft in support of forbidding polar temperatures and conditions. 

The film shows air operations  (starting at 5:00) from the 1946-47 Antarctic effort by Admiral Richard Byrd known as Operation Highjump, where the DC-3 was shown (Navy version = R4D ) deployed from the USS Philippine Sea (6:00) using JATO take-off. At 6:33, a terrible helicopter accident is seen, fortunately non-fatal. A PBM-1 accident shown at 7:00, suffered a fatal accident during a whiteout -- emphasizing the danger of polar air operations. 

At 11:26, the 1956 expedition to the South Pole is seen, with the construction of an airbase at McMurdo Sound for the C-124s, flying in from New Zealand.  The aircraft would paradrop supplies to the South Pole, at a distance of over 700 miles. At 21:58, a serious problem is seen developing as warmer weather caused the ice runways to give way to the heavy C-124. Eventually the runway shrank in size, and appeared completely in jeopardy, which might cause the abandonment of the base. In reaction, air drop flights to the pole were increased to three a day, and low altitude drops made of certain items without parachutes.

TV SHOW   LT. FRANK ELLIS  NAVY PILOT  29924</video:title><video:description>Veteran character actor James Whitmore hosts “Survival!,” a 1964 black-and-white series that focused on a famous disaster in each episode. US Navy Lt. Frank Ellis is the subject of this particular episode, and opens with the tale of Ellis as a young boy watching from his Florida home as pilots practiced various maneuvers. Ellis recalls his enthusiasm in a voiceover and we learn how in 1950 the family moved to Ohio and the young man began taking flying lessons. Following high school he enrolled in the University of Ohio and joined the ROTC, eventually joining the navy, earning a commission, and his pilot wings in 1957 (mark 10:25). Ellis continues to recall his love affair with aviation and his time as a flight instructor (mark 10:46) with the episode capturing re-enactments of his duties. “Even the danger in his work does not affect his enthusiasm … it is part of the job but it is not something to fear,” we are told in a bit of foreshadowing at mark 12:10. In 1962, Ellis was flying an F9F Cougar as a ferry pilot toward a landing at the naval air station at Point Mugu, California, when trouble developed (mark 14:55). He piloted the aircraft away from a populated area before ejecting but the system hurdled him through the flames of the motor. He broke his back, was severely burned, broke three ribs, mangled his left leg, and had his right leg severed below the knee. Ellis continues to explain how his leg was amputated following his transfer to a naval hospital in San Diego (mark 17:54) and how he quickly set on a rehabilitation course. He explains how his ultimate plan was to rejoin his squadron and again pilot an aircraft. Although Ellis says people literally laughed at him, he is shown at mark 19:43 water-skiing on artificial limbs and undergoing naval water survival training before the episode comes to an abrupt end.

The Caterpillar Tractor Company presents “Report on the Giant,” a 1950s color film examining the D9 “the giant of the earth movers.” (The D9 is a large track-type tractor usually sold as a bulldozer and equipped with a detachable large blade and a rear ripper attachment.) The D9 is shown in various settings, such as hauling timber through forests, moving raw material in an industrial setting, and separating heavy rock. “Wherever it is working, the D9 is making the most severe assignments look commonplace,” says the narrator. The Caterpillar D9 is a powerful and versatile earthmoving machine widely used across various tough jobs such as highway construction, coal stripping, sand and gravel excavation, and logging. Its durability and strength allow it to handle challenging terrains—from rocky mountain roads to muddy channels—while performing tasks like ripping rock, bulldozing, stockpiling, and compacting materials. Interviews with operators and superintendents highlight the D9’s efficiency, ruggedness, and ability to reduce labor costs by replacing drilling and blasting. Recognized globally for its stamina and performance, the D9 has earned its reputation as the "giant of the earth movers," proving essential in large-scale industrial and infrastructure projects.

The black-and-white Wilding Pictures Production’s “Army on Wheels” is “a film report of full scale peacetime maneuvers of the United States Army — Fort Benning-Fort Sam Houston and in the Sabine River area of Texas (in) May 1940. Made in cooperation between the US War Department and the Dodge division of the Chrysler Corporation, the film opens with news of how Dodge factories in Detroit have been churning out trucks for use by Uncle Sam. “Fresh from the truck production lines,” vehicles come off train cars starting at mark 02:34 — one of 7,000 new units. The uses for such vehicles are seemingly endless, the viewer is told, as soldiers are shown unloading food supplies from the back of a truck (mark 04:07), and those trucks allow everyone from private to general to travel as far as 300 miles a day if necessary. A convoy pulls out while the narrator continues to stress the importance of the mobility of an army beginning at mark 06:43. From troop transports to artillery carriers, the narrator cites the various types of vehicles supplied to the military as they pass by on the screen, “rolling to the war games 800 miles away” as is noted at mark 09:00. Later, we see how that equipment can be concealed “from marauding eyes in the sky” (mark 12:43). Officers employ portable desks in their command cars to study maps and plot strategies (mark 13:00) and troops use a new technology — the “walkie-talkie” — to keep in touch. Scenes from the maneuvers play out over the next few minutes and the Army Corps of Engineers complete a bridge that allows the “army on wheels” to cross at mark 18:18 and anti-aircraft guns are set up at a new location. Additional scenes feature a dirigible talking to the sky (mark 21:08) as infantrymen march along roadways. Anti-aircraft guns repel an “aerial attack” at mark 23:43 and also “experiments with a mechanized attack” as tanks race across the countryside at mark 24:24. “Vital to our...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4e4252cc-8253-4eff-90b8-7daaed5eb0f7/fa6e1c53-d46f-49e7-ac2c-5dd8d1b76842-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aEuUoocvh1rFUqcV1GPjKr</video:player_loc><video:duration>1737</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T14:26:29.522Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/m7JMa1Srtg8GZpeqdMiiPD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9bf46fe8-1ce2-4a76-99a8-715f0971a25f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" LSD INSIGHT OR INSANITY?"

“A Community Problem” is a rarely seen 1950s-era film by Caterpillar Inc. covering the sanitation industry. In an era before Americans produced anywhere near as much trash as today and when the word recycling was not widely used, this film seems slightly innocent, but it presents the problems of waste management with a great deal of clarity and even shows recycling in action. We watch as African American garbagemen empty trash cans into the  back of a garbage truck and taken to a dump (mark 00:55), used as feed for hogs, or incinerated. Efficient garbage collection is common, but proper disposal remains a key community challenge. Methods like mechanical sewer disposal, hog feeding, incineration, open dumping, and sanitary landfills vary in effectiveness and impact. Mechanical disposal handles organic waste but leaves other materials, while hog feeding poses health risks. Incineration is costly and limited in capacity, and open dumps create serious health and environmental problems. Sanitary landfills—where waste is buried, compacted, and covered—are the most effective and economical solution for most communities. They reduce nuisances like odors, pests, and disease, reclaim land for community use, and can operate year-round with appropriate equipment. Though requiring additional land, landfills offer significant public health and environmental benefits, making responsible refuse disposal essential for healthy, progressive communities.

In a part of the film that might be out of sequence, at :43 is what appears to be Tucson, Arizona's downtown as seen from "A" Mountain. At :47, an "E" on a hillside seems to indicate El Paso again. At 2:04, Tucson is seen again, with a long sweeping vista shot from "A" Mountain. At 2:30, part of the Desert Museum is seen with its impressive cactus gardens. At 2:40, the sign for the Desert Museum is seen. At 3:05, the entrance to the Old Tucson movie studio and attraction is seen, Much of what you are seeing at this point in the film is the set of the movie "Arizona". It was later lost in a disastrous fire. At 3:30, a view of Tucson's downtown is seen from a building near the old Court House (seen at 3:50). "A" Mountain can be seen in the distance. At 3:59, the Cleveland Indians baseball team can be seen in spring training at Tucson's Hi Corbett Field. Another cactus garden is seen, possibly at Saguaro National Monument. At 5:44, the Prescott city limits sign is seen, followed shortly thereafter by the California Inspection Station and state line. At 6:30, the sign for Joshua Tree is seen, and shots of the cactus of that name. At 7:15, the family car is seen getting towed! Apparently they did make it to California, as the film appears to end there.

“Design For Survival” is a black-and-white educational film from the Atomic Age telling the viewer of advancements in air travel. Produced for the Aircraft Industry Association by Arthur Lodge Productions, the late 1950s film opens with various aircraft in flight including the NB-36H Nuclear Test Aircraft (NTA) bomber aircraft equipped with a nuclear reactor (a test bed for the time when, the narrator assures us, nuclear aircraft will be the norm). Also shown is the rocket powered Bell X-2 (mark 01:19) and beginning at mark 02:00 reminds us of the role fighters and bombers had in the Allied victory in World War II. We watch bombers being assembled (mark 03:48) including the B-29’s (Enola Gay and Bockscar) that dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (mark 04:28). Moving on to a postwar America, the film explains how the aircraft quickly moved from dropping bombs to transporting the public, thanks in part to the jet engine as a diagram explains how that type of engine works starting at mark 07:15. Although the US learned during the Korean War that the Soviet Union also had been making advancements in jet engines, US jets were still superior as a fighter is shown taking off at mark 09:20. To continue meeting the needs of the jet age, new aircraft facilities were constructed across the United States and we learn how science and engineering were taking bigger roles in aircraft design. Mark 13:48 takes us to a “modern” jet airplane factory and we glimpse production lines creating the latest aircraft as well as engineers (mark 15:40) reviewing schematics. By mark 16:36 there is a quick review of various types of aircraft wings in place in the late 1950s and a review of how metals react under different circumstances. Although the airline industry had been impacted by peaks and valleys regarding supply and demand (mark 21:30) the film notes that overall the industry has remained relatively stable.

This is a twenty-minute short propaganda film produced in 1944 by the War Relocation Authority, in an attempt to justify one of the more shameful moments in 20th Century American history. Unlike previous films made during the war about the Internment (such as "Japanese Relocation" -- see the PeriscopeFilm Youtube Channel), this film makes it clear that the Japanese Americans were forced from their circumstances, and that they were made to live in a rather barren relocation camp, which was surrounded by armed guards. The film states bluntly that the medicine available at the camp was the same as that of everybody else in war time—barely adequate.

More positive features of camp life are also shown, whatever their historical accuracy may be: it shows the internees organizing a self-government, schools, and places of worship, as well as contributing to the war effort through industry. It also shows that some families were allowed to leave the camp if they were considered to be loyal enough.

The internment of Japanese Americans in the United States during World War II was the forced relocation and incarceration in camps in the interior of the country of between 110,000 and 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry who lived on the Pacific coast. Sixty-two percent of the internees were United States citizens.These actions were ordered by President Franklin D. Roosevelt shortly after Imperial Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor.

Japanese Americans were incarcerated based on local population concentrations and regional politics. More than 110,000 Japanese Americans, who mostly lived on the West Coast, were forced into interior camps, but in Hawaii, where the 150,000-plus Japanese Americans composed over one-third of the population, 1,200 to 1,800 were interned. The internment is considered to have resulted more from racism than from any security ri...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e1308a3f-56ac-4d1f-8b14-1cca617a8b19/d72d5b96-9340-4758-84f5-35c295a51424-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/tNQ1aujVcTzPt5L8A1PJwe</video:player_loc><video:duration>1099</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T14:37:29.020Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qKJnfJtV6pazuBgW3pyibK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5dcf898a-3d95-45f1-ae1f-5ea4ec6978f9.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ TRIP TO WHERE ” 1968 US NAVY DRUG SCARE FILM   DANGERS OF HALLUCINOGENIC DRUG USE &amp; ABUSE  85814</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

This 1968 film "Trip to Where" was produced by the Petersen Company for the US Navy (MN-10494) and seeks to show the dangers of hallucinogenic drug use and abuse. It follows three sailors, one of whom ends up in the hospital after a bad trip on LSD. This man is shown as continuously having “flashbacks” to his trip, even while at work. Later the group also tries weed and the same man ends up having to be taken to the medical bay because he keeps getting the same flashbacks. In the end, one man is arrested, another is performing non-essential duties, and the man with the flashbacks is admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Overall, the film tries to show that taking drugs or being involved with them will have consequences and is dangerous for the operability of the US armed forces. The film shows many interesting visuals and distortions to simulate the hallucinogenic, mind-altering effects of LSD.

The film dates to the mid-to-late 1940s. It begins with images shot on a farm, where concrete blocks are used for sanitary reasons for animal husbandry, and for storage of farm machinery. At 3:50, an International Harvester farm implement showroom is shown, with streamline design. At 4:28, a concrete masonry plant is shown. At 5:30, a few experienced masons are shown at work, with proper techniques shown throughout. Mortar is shown being made at 10:20, and at 12:30 the technique used to frame windows and doors is shown. At 15:20, different wall finishes are shown, with a close look at the joints to show the wall treatments possible through technique. At 15:50, the painting of concrete masonry walls is shown with paint powder being used. At 17:30, brick is shown being backed with 1/4" concrete blocks.

The concrete masonry unit (CMU) shown in the film is a standard size rectangular block used in building construction. Those that use cinders (fly ash or bottom ash) are called cinder blocks in Canada, the United States, and New Zealand, breeze blocks (breeze is a synonym of ash) in the United Kingdom and New Zealand, and hollow blocks in the Philippines. In Australia they are also known as Besser blocks or besser bricks, because the American-based Besser Company was a major supplier of concrete-block-making machinery. Clinker blocks use clinker as aggregate. In non-technical usage, the terms cinder block and breeze block are often generalized to cover all of these varieties.

Concrete block, when built in tandem with concrete columns and tie beams and reinforced with rebar, is a very common building material for the load-bearing walls of buildings, in what is termed concrete block structure (CBS) construction. American suburban houses typically employ a concrete foundation vibrant and slab with a concrete block wall on...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/224e55a5-96c0-49dc-a677-3f1a95c07401/1fcafda7-c9f4-488b-9178-30648aaac9bd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5eGKi9pxNSc5ZVuYx2MNBB</video:player_loc><video:duration>1148</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T14:40:41.733Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pquXw1JcNHpotTsdMztJPQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2f5c8b06-3d59-425d-a003-d227d4c074a0.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII U.S. NAVY RADIO OPERATOR TRAINING FILM  "THE RADIOMAN FIGHTS" 52364</video:title><video:description>Produced in 1944, the “unclassified” US Navy training film “Radio Operator Training” instructed seaman on how to become an effective radioman. Whether it be a PT boat, landing barge, submarine, or any other vessel, the narrator explains at mark 01:08 that a radioman is onboard and on duty. “He is the mouthpiece of his commanding officer. His right hand. Without him, the ship is crippled. The fleet is paralyzed.” Mark 01:48 takes us to NSS Annapolis (officially known as Naval Communications Station Washington, D.C.), the Navy’s transmitter station from which orders and instructions emanate. To illustrate the film follows a message from NSS to a Navy communication station in California and then on to Hawaii, Guadalcanal, and finally the flag ship of a task force 10,000 miles away. What goes into the training of a radioman is examined starting at mark 04:35 as rows of men are shown learning Morse Code as well as the form and routing of messages and repair of transmitters and receivers. Advanced classes address various aspects of sending and receiving messages. Graduation day comes at mark 07:05 as the sailors march to receive their certification and are shipped off to active duty. The film ends as the narrator continues to sing the praises of the radioman — “the nerves of the Navy.”

NSS Annapolis, officially known as Naval Communications Station Washington, D.C. Transmitter or NavCommStaWashingtonDC(T), was a Very Low Frequency (VLF) and High Frequency (HF) transmitter station operated by the United States Navy. It was located at Greenbury Point, in Anne Arundel County, across the Severn River from Annapolis, Maryland at coordinates 38°58′40″N 76°27′12″W. NSS Annapolis was used by the USN for submarine communication. The station consisted of an umbrella antenna supported by a 1,200-foot (365.76 m) high central mast, which was insulated against ground, 6 guyed masts of 800-foot (243.84 m) and 3 freestanding towers of the same height.

After outlining the theory of fog formation, the film overviews various types of fog and how each one impacts air travel. It also reviews the combined effects of air temperature and wind. The film concludes with an anecdote about a bomber plane mission. The other films in this seven film series discuss such subjects as ice formation on aircraft, warm and cold fronts and the serious weather associated with each, cloud formations, and 
flight planning through and around weather conditions. Fog is a form of moisture near the Earth's surface that reduces visibility and can be hazardous, especially during takeoffs and landings. It forms when the air temperature cools to the dew point, causing moisture to condense. There are two main types: ground fog, which develops on clear, cool nights with light winds and high moisture, often in valleys or polluted areas; and advection fog, which covers larger areas when warm, moist air moves over cooler surfaces, commonly near coastlines and over the sea. Fog can form rapidly and is difficult to predict, making it crucial for pilots to plan alternate airports and carry sufficient fuel. Failure to recognize fog conditions, especially near coasts, has historically led to serious flight accidents.

0:00 – Fog is moisture in visible form that lies close to the Earth’s surface, reducing visibility to near zero.
0:44 – From above, fog looks like a low sheet of clouds, making it hard to distinguish from cloud ceilings.
1:05 – Modern navigation aids make fog less of a concern en route, but fog at airports makes takeoffs and landings hazardous.
1:37 – Fog forms rapidly, is hard to forecast, and poses an unexpected hazard; pilots should always have alternate airports planned.

At 1:00, the XI Grand Prix of Tripoli is shown. This is the 1934 running of the race, which originated in 1925 and lasted up until 1940 and the start of WWII in Libya. At 1:48, the Continental Grand Prix is shown, with pit crews hard at work at the 2:14 mark. At 2;46, a car is seen wiping out on the track, while at 3:00 the winner speeds to glory.  At 3:16, England's Donington Park race is seen near Castle Donington in Leicestershire, England. At 3:45, an American dirt track race series is seen, with daredevil drivers tearing around the track at 100 mph. The checkered flag is seen at 4:35. At 5:11, the Great American Soap Box Derby is shown at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio.At 6:10, the Utah Salt Flats are shown with a car being driven by Sir Malcolm Campbell. In September 1935, this car the Campbell-Railton Blue Bird, broke the 300 mph barrier by a bare mile-per-hour, that being 484,955 km, crowning Sir Malcolm Campbell's record-breaking career. At 7:04, John Cobb is seen smashing the record. Driving the piston-engined, wheel-driven Railton Special on 23 August 1939, he achieved a mark of 367.91 mph (592.09 km/h).
At 7:16, the Indianapolis 500 is shown. A montage at 8:40, shows a series of horrific accidents at Indy, and that's how the film ends.

The picture, produced by the Daytona International Speedway, opens on a rainy field as a mist filled the air — a problem that plagued the qualifying time trials for the race. Petty is shown at mark 00:55 after he had set a new qualifying track record of 176.65 mph. We see fellow racers such as Jim Hurtubise, Bobby Isaac, Fred Lorenzen, Cale Yarborough, Larry Frank, Darel Dieringer, and a young Mario Andretti (mark 01:38). There is a series of spin-outs, skids, and crashes as we see more time trials and tweaks made to automobiles until finally, race day arrive (04:34) — along with more rain. The race finally gets underway starting at mark 06:42 with footage of Petty and Paul Goldsmith pulling away from the pack in the early laps. The men trade positions with the lead changing hands 14 times in the first half of the race we learn at mark 09:16, as the cars average 170.535 mph. Petty regains the lead at mark 09:41, only to be challenged by Yarborough at mark 10:39 with 14 laps remaining. Petty charges and takes back the lead (mark 12:42) while traveling 176.817 mph. As the rain begins falling the racers head into their final lap and Petty takes the checkered flag in the second consecutive race shortened by rain. 

Richard Lee Petty (born July 2, 1937), nicknamed The King, is a former NASCAR driver who raced in the Strictly Stock/Grand National Era and the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. He is best known for winning the NASCAR Championship seven times (Dale Earnhardt and Jimmie Johnson are the only other drivers to accomplish this feat), winning a record 200 races during his career, winning the Daytona 500 a record seven times, and winning a record 27 races (10 of them consecutively) in the 1967 season alone. Statistically, he is the most accomplished driver in the history of the sport and is one of the most respected figures in motorsports as a whole. He also collected a record number...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/31086c21-f3c7-45da-9d7b-bdf0f68700b9/f2fec866-056e-48a6-aea5-9ad62d65c4a7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/74bju6EnbugZuAM9nrzPPx</video:player_loc><video:duration>875</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T14:48:50.357Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tcEUDQqmJyoBtd29C7KjYY</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6ec824dd-0e85-47ab-9131-53699cc868d4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE LAST TEN FEET"  1950s OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY / OIL EXPLORATION DOCUMENTARY BY ESSO  51864</video:title><video:description>“The Last Ten Feet” is a circa 1940 black-and-white presentation by oil and gas manufacturer Esso and the Oil Industry Information Committee. “All that the average motorist sees of the American oil industry is the ten feet of hose leading from the service station gasoline pump to his car. This is the story behind those last ten feet,” a card tells us at mark 00:47. This film chronicles the vital role of the oil industry in shaping modern American life, portraying it as a story of innovation, risk, and progress. From its origins in 1859 with the first oil strike in Titusville, Pennsylvania, the industry has evolved into a massive network involving millions of workers and complex technologies. It highlights how oil fuels transportation, agriculture, and industry, supporting both civilian life and national defense. The film details the processes of exploration, drilling, refining, and distribution, emphasizing the scientific advancements and conservation practices that maximize efficiency and output. It also showcases the wide array of petroleum-based products—from fuels to synthetic rubber and cosmetics—made possible through ongoing research. Ultimately, it presents oil not just as a resource, but as a symbol of American ingenuity, teamwork, and economic strength.

0:00 – The film begins with music and introduces the theme of oil as a cornerstone of American progress.

0:56 – Americans rely on gasoline daily, symbolizing how deeply oil is tied to national growth and convenience.

1:47 – The oil industry supports millions of jobs, from drilling to sales, and involves a vast network of workers and stakeholders.

Monte Carlo officially refers to an administrative area of the Principality of Monaco, specifically the ward of Monte Carlo/Spélugues, where the Monte Carlo Casino is located. Informally the name also refers to a larger district, the Monte Carlo Quarter (corresponding to the former municipality of Monte Carlo), which besides Monte Carlo/Spélugues also includes the wards of La Rousse/Saint Roman, Larvotto/Bas Moulins, and Saint Michel. The permanent population of the ward of Monte Carlo is about 3,500, while that of the quarter is about 15,000. Monaco has four traditional quarters. From west to east they are: Fontvieille (the newest), Monaco-Ville (the oldest), La Condamine, and Monte Carlo.

Monte Carlo (literally "Mount Charles") is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Maritime Alps along the French Riviera. Near the western end of the quarter is the world-famous Place du Casino, the gambling center which has made Monte Carlo "an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth".[1] It is also the location of the Hôtel de Paris, the Café de Paris, and the Salle Garnier (the casino theatre which is the home of the Opéra de Monte-Carlo).

The eastern part of the quarter includes the community of Larvotto with Monaco's only public beach, as well as its new convention center (the Grimaldi Forum), and the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel &amp; Resort. At the quarter's eastern border, one crosses into the French town of Beausoleil (sometimes referred to as Monte-Carlo-Supérieur), and just 5 miles (8 km) to its east is the western border of Italy.

During WW2, the film says, 47 major ships, 52 submarines, and countless lives were lost. The war also taught the Navy that close exposure to an underwater blast can severely damage a ship’s hull or propulsion systems, putting it out of commission. The film’s title, “Close Is Near Enough,” appears on the screen at mark 03:20 as the narrator echoes those same words. For this reason, the Navy established the Underwater Explosions Research Division (UERD) in 1946 to find way to strengthen ships’ hulls. The film shows footage of ships earmarked for the scrapyard being torpedoed as part of the test process before explaining what happens to a vessel during an underwater explosion (mark 04:45). We watch as a highly compressed gas bubble pulsates before creating a series of water plumes above the water line. The bubble causes severe pressure on any nearby object with the shockwave damaging a ship, even lift it into the air and slamming it back into the water. The film shows high-speed cameras being fitted into test ships to film damage (mark 07:30)  with the captured footage shown and the details later analyzed (mark 11:00). The information ultimately will be used for new design techniques. There is a look of the UERD’s Submarine Shock Simulation Vehicle to evaluate the strength of submarines (mark 12:00) with additional footage of tests conducted using the vehicle as well as other ship explosions (mark 15:57) and experiments using simulated underwater mines (mark 18:00).

The sponsor of this film brought the revolutionary Jacobs Engine Brake on the market since 1961. The company is now known as Jacobs Vehicle Systems, Inc. It's not exactly clear why Jacobs produced the film, but engine brakes can be notoriously loud, so the company may have viewed this film as an important public relations tool.

The film opens in a noisy classroom before the viewer is reminded that there are times when everyone requires “Quiet Please!” The film, presented by the Jacobs Manufacturing Company Engine Brake Division, goes on to tell us that sound is a necessary part of life. Noise, however, is not. Scenes of garbage trucks, snow blowers, tractors, vacuums, and airline jets flash on the screen as we’re reminded that we are all prisoners of noise  — “unless we conquer the scourge of noise” (mark 01:44). At mark 02:09 the film offers a scientific explanation of “sound” with various illustrations, and at mark 03:27 explains how sound is analyzed from three aspects — source, transmission, and receiver — followed by an explanation how the ear is able to hear sound. We learn of sound decibels and frequency. As a teenaged band plays at mark 06:50, the narrator laments how “studies show  the hearing of many teenaged musicians quickly degenerates to the level of old folks.” The cumulative effect of noise exposure on health and the cardiovascular system is examined beginning at mark 08:40, including elevated blood pressure, sleeplessness, and fatigue. At mark 09:20 the conversation switches to what might be done about noise pollution, “which makes each day a torment,” including state legislation regulating vehicles such as trucks and airlines. We see illustrations of how jet airline turbo fan engines produce high decibels starting at mark 11:44, and changes to the Boeing 74...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f8b39b87-122c-401a-b9f8-ad7983d402ac/c364e89f-c7fa-48ee-ae0b-75f2d63204b7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wHdUvmzZpADuv25ySc3qZA</video:player_loc><video:duration>1250</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T14:55:56.653Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7yhpu8aLKwFRbzMXjR2DkR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ff8898d0-b8e6-453e-bf00-380b18efc2ac.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s CARIBBEAN TRAVELOGUE  PUERTO RICO  PANAMA VIRGIN ISLANDS 49234</video:title><video:description>“The Real Caribbean” is a 1942 Bell &amp; Howell Company black-and-white travel film that begins with a narrator pointing to the location of the Caribbean (southeast of the Gulf of Mexico and the North American mainland, east of Central America, and north of South America) on a map before touting the area as a tourist paradise. Palm trees sway in the island breezes beginning at mark 00:44 and the viewer is given a brief history lesson on the region, beginning with Spanish rule and the Spanish-influenced structures that stood centuries later, as well as those nations that were British colonies. Less than 2% of native Caribbeans are white, says the narrator at mark 01:55. “The mass of the people are descendants of negro slaves hauled in from Africa to work the sugar plantations.” When slavery was abolished, plantation owners hired peasant families from India as “contract laborers” to take over the work. When their years of servitude ended many chose to stay rather than return overseas. French Colonies are identified starting near mark 03:00 followed by Dutch Colonies and American interests such as the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Panama Canal Zone (mark 04:45). There are many scenes of the Panama Canal beginning at mark 05:08, followed by scenes from sugar cane fields (mark 07:27) and coconuts, as a boy is shown shimmying up a tree to cut down a bunch (mark 07:50). Various fruits (such as bananas), cocoa, and spices are imported from the islands as well. As a variety of scenes flash across the screen, the narrator explains the islands share similarities but also have many differences including unique problems. The region also has a chain of American naval bases, identified starting at mark 11:08, “which greatly strengthens our defenses. Old Glory guards the freedom of our southern seas.”

Includes footage of Dominica, Trinidad, the Bahamas, Panama, Aruba, Curacao, the Virgin Islands, and other nations.

New York Times science reporter Walter Sullivan serves as the film’s host, and he explains the project. A map gives us an overview of the Atlantic Ocean and its bordering continents as Sullivan explains the various plates existing beneath the surface (mark 02:02). Understanding changes along plates boundaries is identified as the purpose of Project FAMOUS, and the film shows us the US Navy’s tiny submersible Alvin (mark 03:04) operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. (Scientists from Woods Hole and CNEXO — the French National Center of Ocean Exploitation — were in charge of the project. The exploration was aided by French deep-diving submersibles Archimède and Cyana). We visit Iceland at mark 03:30, the product of millions of years of plate tectonics. Such development still occurs, evident by the island of Surtsey — a volcano island off Iceland’s coast that was only reached the surface in 1963 (mark 04:00) — volcanic damage caused to the island of Heimaey in 1973. We come to the Azores at mark 07:00  — an archipelago composed of nine volcanic islands in the North Atlantic Ocean — where marine geologists plan to explore a rift on the ocean floor. After detailed explanation of the planned mission by American and French scientists (including Robert Ballard, who went on to discover the wreckage of the Titanic in 1985), the film quickly visits Hawaii (mark 12:33) which is another hotbed of volcanic activity. Submersible crews receive additional training are shown diving to visit an underwater lava flow before the film once again returns to the Azores dive site (mark 14:35).

The film opens with a scroll supporting WWII servicemen and encourages the viewer to “redouble our resolve to speed the victory which must and will be our!” The film opens with an aerial view of Camp Hood as soldiers march in formation, prepare meals, and unload supplies from rail cars. As an incoming recruit train (mark 03:10) enters the grounds, we are introduced to a fresh-faced inductee who acts as the “guide” for the remainder of the story. Scenes from basic training unfolds as recruits march and take target practice on the gun range before beginning their advanced training (mark 05:45) as gun crews and with tank destroyers.  A crew climbs aboard a tank at mark 08:00 for additional target practice followed by a run through the battle conditioning course (mark 08:40) “to accustom them to the rigors of actual combat.” After scaling walls, crawling under barbed wire, up nets, and down ropes, the recruits face a water hazard and unarmed fighting (mark 10:41). Men train with small arms, machine guns, and bazookas (mark 11:25), and learn “the art of house-to-house fighting.” Although the training is intense, the narrator explains it is necessary. “By subjecting our men to battle conditions during training, first fright is over and done with, thus enabling them to think clearly when going into actual combat,” we’re told at mark 16:26. Near mark 17:00 the film addresses some of the tactical problems of tank destroyer training, and we watch as “Nazi tanks” emerge from a tree line as part of an exercise. As training is complete, supplies and equipment are shown being loaded on freight cars and the train pulls out, “loaded with men and machines who mean business.”

The film begins with a brief overview of the work of the Allied air forces during the Second World War up to the Normandy landings, including the Battle of Britain, the bombing of the German industrial areas, the thousand bomber raids, the Dieppe raid and USAAF daylight raids; stock shots of RAF Spitfire squadrons, Armstrong Whitworth Whitley, Short Stirling, Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and Consolidated B-24 Liberator bombers and captured footage of Germans clearing rubble and repairing rail lines. The preparations for the Normandy Landings are shown through amphibious landings, the creation of the Allied Expeditionary Air Force and the work in the months running up to the invasion - the destruction of key lines of communication, transport, defence and detection targets. Training for the landings (showing LCTs moving toward shore with air support) is watched over by Montgomery, Eisenhower and Tedder. Commanders of the Expeditionary Air Force are seen looking at a large wall map, members present include Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh Mallory, Major General W G Butler, Air Marshal Sir Arthur Cunningham and Major General Lewis Brereton. An animated map of the proposed plan is followed by scenes of the build up to the landings, and the concentration of attacks on marshalling yards by British and American heavy bombers and of attacks on key bridges by Douglas Havocs and Martin Marauders. Specific targets such as radar stations and air bases which are attacked with rockets and bombs (camera gun footage). German camera gun and ground-to-air footage of Allied aircraft being shot down and crashing, with a commentary detailing the numbers of British, Dominion and USAAF losses.

San Diego is the first “port of call” (mark 00:42) and we learn how the city was the first settlement on the Pacific Coast. At 1:09, the steamship SS Pennsylvania is seen in Long Beach harbor. The film quickly takes us to the harbor at Los Angeles and scenes of the sprawling metropolis “that now numbers a million and a quarter inhabitants” (mark 01:15). We see the white marble City Hall as well as Hollywood (mark 01:37) and a quick look inside some of the film studios including Fox, the Culver Studios and RCA. After LA comes a visit to San Francisco (02:13) which still clings to its gold rush roots while welcoming passenger ships and rail lines. The narrator touts the “modern highways” that connect the shoreline to the valleys, surrounding mountains, and missions across the state. There are scenes from the home of General Jose Castro in San Juan Bautista (mark 04:00) and spas recalling the state’s Spanish roots, as well as a Los Angeles market with Mexican wares that cater to natives and tourists. San Francisco’s Chinatown is spotlighted (mark 05:35) where old customs mingle with “modern” life, and we see Chinese in traditional clothes and those in Western outfits before moving on to the garden at Golden Gate Park (mark 05:55). We see blossoms in the valleys and snowcapped mountain tops as well as breathtaking views of giant sequoias (mark 06:55) and Yosemite Valley. A prospector pans a river for gold at mark 07:35, and we see other profitable endeavors such as oil derricks —  providing “liquid black gold” — and citrus groves. “Californians, whatever their work, are outdoor people,” the narrator reminds us at mark 08:22, and we visits a racetrack, golf course, tennis court, and of course, the beach.

Paul Hoefler Productions presents “Cotton Picking and Ginning.” The black-and-white 1948 educational film, made in cooperation with the National Cotton Council of America, provides the viewer with “the story of cotton from harvest to mill” and was the first film in a series of five subjects on cotton. There are a few strains of “My Old Kentucky Home” before we’re told how cotton is the most important crop grown in the United States (mark 00:40) and the most widely used fiber in the world. It takes about 200 days for cotton to ripen following planting, we learn, as the camera pans fields and provides up close shots of the white tufts. Stooped workers hand-pick cotton (mark 01:22) as we are told more of its importance as a crop. “Hand-picked cotton is cleaner and brings the highest prices,” says the narrator (mark 02:23). After weighing the the 70-pound bags of cotton it is carried up a ladder and tossed into a trailer. At mark 03:25, lines of mechanical pickers are shown making their ways through fields, gathering cotton at a rate 50 times faster than humans, freeing people to take others manufacturing jobs. Come mark 05:00 the viewer learns of the cotton gin and the process involved in separating seeds from the lint. A telescoping pipe literally sucks the cotton from trailers (mark 05:48) into the gin machinery, where saws begin the separation process, which is shown in slow-motion photography. The line is shown being pressed into 500-pound bales (mark 06:40), wrapped, and tagged, before being taken to a warehouse. Following an inspection, the bales are graded and offered for sale. As workers are shown loading cotton bales onto boxcars (mark 09:10) for transport across the United States, the narrator explains that cotton is also sold to other countries in high-density bales, which later are shown being placed on ships

The 50th anniversary of Pan American Airlines (Pan Am) and a record-setting flight are celebrated in this 1977 film. The film opens with a narration of man’s desire to explore the globe — first by sea and later by air — most notably Wiley Post (mark 00:45) who was the first pilot to fly solo around the world in his Lockheed Vega aircraft, the Winnie Mae, in 1933. In 1947 the first around-the world passenger service was inaugurated in a Lockheed Constellation made for Pan Am. At mark 01:13 we see a Boeing 747SP-21 named Clipper Liberty Bell, which broke the commercial around-the-world record. Then, in 1977, we learn how Pan American Clipper New Horizons departing on a record-setting flight around the world over both poles (mark 02:13). It’s that flight that is the basis of the film as move to celebratory scenes at San Francisco International Airport on October 28, 1977, as “Flight 50” prepares for its 26,000 mile journey. With passengers onboard, the Clipper New Horizons taxis down the runway (mark 05:10) and takes ff exactly 50 years after Pan Ams first flight. The camera walks the cabin as the narrator explains the great demand for tickets and the company’s marketing director details the planning that went into the flight. The trip included an onboard fashion show (mark 07:23) and champagne toast as the aircraft circles the North Pole. The flight is welcomed in London (mark 08:56) and following a ceremony sets off for Capetown, South Africa as passengers are shown playing game, writing postcards, reading, watching movies (including “Casablanca” and “Road to Morocco”), and dining. A huge crowd welcomes passengers after their arrival in Capetown (mark 13:00) and following a ceremony with the city’s mayor the aircraft is back in the air. It crosses the South Pole as the camera captures snow-covered Antarctica below (mark 14:50).

Produced by Henry Strauss Productions, a New York-based educational and corporate production company, the film reminds the viewer marketing involves more than taking a “come and get it” approach (mark 02:52). Rather, modern marketing strategies often involve dealing with situations beyond your control (05:10) including pilferage. Although expensive storage options exist, the film suggests another option at mark 06:00 — air cargo. The viewer is taken to a Pan Am air cargo terminal beginning at mark 06:55 as the narrator boasts how “it’s no telephone booth operation" but rather a fast-paced situation. Scenes show crates and cargo being moved about while signage points to the varied worldwide destinations. The action unfolds slowly as pallets are loaded onto Pan Am aircraft while a Pan Am cargo service manager explains at mark 09:30 how insurance costs by air are far less than surface routes — and is far faster. The marketing pitch continues and starting at mark 11:45 there are illustrations showing the myriad of air routes that circle the globe. The debate over air versus surface shipping methods continues and men weigh the pros and cons of each, while occasionally stressing the benefits such as “savings in volume handling” (mark 15:19). “There’s one thing that no business … can turn its back on: change,” one of the men emphasizes at mark 19:05. “And one change that I suspect is here to stay is air cargo.”

Initially, mobile rigs were used to explore the seabed, and once resources were confirmed, fixed platforms on steel towers, or "jackets," were installed.   However, with increasing energy demands and limited inshore reserves, the industry has moved into deeper, harsher environments like the North Sea and beyond. We visit one structure positioned off the coast of Spain at mark 03:43. At mark 04:30 we see another offshore structure in the North Sea off the Shetland Islands, this one designed to float on the water’s surface and towed from one location to the next. The follows crews at work before moving to another platform off the coast of Japan (mark 06:11) and additional drilling scenes. In some parts of the ocean, oil may lie more than 6,000 deep, and starting at mark 11:07 it is shown how crews test various pieces of equipment before taking them out to sea. Other times, ships are the only means of establishing a drilling platform, a point that is discussed beginning at mark 15:00 and we watch as a drilling ship heads to sea, equipped with everything from breakfast eggs to heavy machinery. The film continues with more footage of life on the ship and the jobs crews must undertake as they search for oil under the waves. 

0:00 – The sea covers 75% of the Earth's surface; historically, it enabled trade and exploration.
0:29 – Modern industry now explores beneath the seabed for oil and gas, moving into deeper ocean waters due to limited inshore resources.

Flames shoot from a rocket thrust booster and workers add fuel to cylinders in the opening moments of “Careful Diets for Missiles” as a narrator dramatically proclaims, “Food — for the hungry bellies of rockets and missiles. Their diets are critical. The big jobs eat a lot and mixing it by hand isn't good enough anymore.” With that, the logo for Toledo Scales appears onscreen (mark 01:20) and we’re transported to aerospace manufacturer Thiokol Chemical Corporation in Utah while being told how the two companies  worked together to automate the process. Engineers work at control consoles in this early 1960s production while others tinker with circuitry “to do a big job with care and precision.” Solid propellant are shown being mixed in vats and beginning at mark 02:48 we learn the three stages of creating solid propellant, beginning with mixing aluminum power and polymer into a pre-mix, then forming it into an oxidizer, and finally combining the mixture and oxidizer into a final mix. The film continues by detailing each step of the process with the narration illustrated by matching scenes. Come mark 06:56, it is explained how an epoxy also is added to the final mix and we learn about the four final mix operations — each one performed in separate buildings and all monitored from a remote location “by one man.” A controller turns a key at mark 09:10 to unlock the master control console while also checking quality control sheets. The grayish product is seen at mark 12:05 while the narrator explains, “Solid propellant — a meticulous food for giant, monolithic space boosters ready to protect a nation or send vehicles hurdling into space to find the promise of tomorrow.”

Thiokol was an American corporation concerned initially with rubber and related chemicals, and later with rocket and missile propulsion systems. It was founded in 1929. Its initial business was a range of synthetic rubber and polymer sealants,...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d1574148-f61c-49e9-99b5-6428b99eecc2/fc9e872f-4926-4660-a0ae-e2697da72df0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rRjpBxGVTquLF47cxkSPiL</video:player_loc><video:duration>780</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T15:22:19.976Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/buihnooAdKkMKWqrLUk9dS</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/6ae97728-1a98-4e70-9837-4d6d550fb382.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE CIVILIAN SERVES   WWII CIVIL DEFENSE CORPS  PROMOTIONAL FILM 49884</video:title><video:description>Made by Castle Films during WWII, this silent movie entitled "The Civilian Serves" shows the many ways in which ordinary civilians helped defend the nation during WWII, by serving as Air Raid Wardens, Block Wardens, in defense plants, and elsewhere. The film dates to 1942 and was probably shown at clubs and workplaces as a recruitment tool, and also made available to the home market by Castle. At the 2:40 mark, the large Civilian Defense Headquarters in Manhattan, New York is seen, and at 2:56 the Air Warden Service. The film shows at 3:50 how Germany managed to create huge fires in London and wreak havoc, in part because the civil fire service was not well organized. The Pearl Harbor attack is shown and the question asked at 4:47, Is Your Town Prepared?  At 5:21 the Staff Corps is seen aiding in Civilian Mobilization, and at 5:50 women are seen working as drivers as part of the Driving Corps. Auxiliary police are seen at 7:17, and Air Raid Wardens at 7:50. At 8:38, thousands of Air Raid Wardens are sworn in en masse in Chicago. Fire watchers are seen being trained at 9:50. Demolition crews are seen working at 10:10, and at 11:00 a food truck is seen dolling out American coffee and other aid in war-torn Britain.

The viewer learns that Hawaii is actually a group of islands (mark 00:58) — Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and Hawaii — with a land area about the size of New Jersey. Following an aerial view starting at mark 01:20, we learn Hawaii’s volcanic history and a look at the resulting soil and small farms that grow tropical crops such as rice, corn, and bananas. Yet is is sugar cane that’s the island’s “economic king” with plantations shown at mark 02:30 and scenes of its cultivation and harvest. The camera takes its viewer to a plantation sugar mill (mark 03:53). This is the Waialua Sugar Mill, a historical sugar refinery located at the base of the Waiʻanae Mountains in the town of Waialua on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. - Shown is a narrow gauge steam locomotive #5 belonging to the Waialua Agricultural Company Railroad -- to carry sugar cane from the plantation to the mill. A look at Hawaii’s pineapple industry follows at mark 04:30 as workers are shown cultivating the crop before being prepared to export. Naturally, there is a look at the beaches beginning at mark 05:15 which beckon to travelers from all over the world, and we learn briefly of how Polynesians were the islands’ first settlers. Although it is a tropical paradise, Hawaii also boasts the amenities of any mid-sized city, and at mark 06:00 the viewer is shown the streets of Hilo, with modern buildings and traffic that whizzes past. We also see Honolulu and Honolulu Bay, and learn of its importance as an International port as products such as automobiles and other supplies — as well as tourists — are shown being transported onto the land.

Pan American-Grace Airways, better known as Panagra, was an airline formed as a joint venture between Pan American World Airways and Grace Shipping Company. Panagra was founded in 1929 to compete with SCADTA, a German-owned company, and held a quasi-monopoly over air travel in parts of Colombia and South America during the 1940s and 1950s. It merged with Braniff International Airways in 1967.

Hundreds of years before it became a tourist destination, Incas called South America home (mark 01:57) and constructed the equivalent of 10,000 miles highways, remnants of which still exist as the camera pans across them and onto to what were once Incan cities. 

Today, we are told, descendants of Spanish soldiers, Portuguese fisherman, and others still travel to South America — only this time as tourists. After a few scenes in Panama the film takes the viewer to Quito, the capital of Ecuador (mark 05:10). “a city dyed with the color of Spain.” We see plazas and churches “bearing the reflections of Barcelona and Madrid.” Following are street scenes and beach scenes from Lima, Peru starting at mark 06:20 as tourists soak in the sunshine and we watch generations of families work silver (mark 08:00) and visit a country market. By mark 12:15 we’re taken high into the Andes Mountains in the Cusco Region of Peru to see Machu Picchu, a 15th-century Inca citadel, and starting at mark 14:00 visit La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, which rests 12,000 feet above sea level. The camera pans its buildings and people on a Saturday morning as they move to buy and sell at a local market, and later witness a Diablada, a traditional dance characterized by the mask and devil suit worn by the performers (mar 14:38). From there we land in Santiago, Chile (mark 15:46) and a look at the women who are described as “remarkably hands...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f57ef4e5-2161-4c52-8cc0-84754a74f676/12352993-6fe2-4649-b4b5-bb2169506990-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/wjggw35ThDeJZMV7MMt2oN</video:player_loc><video:duration>1625</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T15:28:35.905Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/v8oHRMWKj4xe8c9fPyRgja</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0876a151-8a66-4d17-9e7c-8729ab644ec4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FOREIGN TROOPS FIGHTING IN RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR 1918   48894</video:title><video:description>This short Russian propaganda film presents the events from March 1918, with foreign troops arriving in Russia in support of the White Army against the Communist Red Army.

Narrator: In March of 1918, the first foreign troops landed from an English cruiser in Murmansk. That is how the intervention began. German occupants moved towards the Soviet Russia from the west. Ukrainian Central Rada opened the Ukrainian frontier to them. Kaiser’s troops occupied a few regions in the south and west of the Soviet Russia. (01.13) Soviet people were executed for any act of disobedience or resistance. Occupants were robbing our country dooming people for starvation. In April of 1918, Japanese ships sailed towards Vladivostok. 70,000 Japanese soldiers landed on the Russian soil ready to expand Japanese borders up to Irkutsk. (02.14) In May, Czechoslovak Corps rebelled in the Volga region. They consisted of war prisoners of imperial Russia. Commandership of these Corps acted on direct orders of Entente. (02.50)  In August of 1918, English soldiers entered Baku. Expanding the intervention, troops of Entente occupied Arkhangelsk. They were preparing to attack Petrograd and Moscow.  9,000 American soldiers came to Vladivostok after Japanese.

Here, almost every step of the process to make a finished article, is done by hand and with very little mechanization. 

A foundry is seen at 1:00, with pig iron being brought into the factory to make stove hotplates. A pattern maker is seen at 1:29 using lead and tin to make a mold. At 2:00, sand with clay and coal dust is used to demonstrate the pattern in use, through an impression process. The mold is prepared at 2:50 by a foundry man using various types of moulding sand. At 4:40, the pattern plate is pulled off the sand, so that another mold can be made. At 5:50, the process of melting the iron is seen, with a large furnace being fired by coal, limestone, and filled with pig iron and scrap iron. At 7:20, molten iron is seen flowing out of the furnace at 1400 degrees centigrade. The molten iron is wheeled away in a bogey to be poured at 8:00, using ladles or hand shanks. At 8:40, the molten metal is poured into the mold. At 9:40, the newly made hotplates are seen emerging from the sand, and excess iron knocked off with hammers. Now finishing or fettling is done at 10:30, with grinders being used to smooth ridges and wire brushes to remove excess sand. At 11:10, cooker plates are trimmed up with scrapers.  As the film ends, a finished, enameled hot plate is seen in a British home.

Although current defense efforts focus skyward on aircraft, missiles, and “outer space,” the film encourages the viewer to “Look Down, Too” as the title card flashes on the screen at mark 01:03. There are scenes of submarines and destroyers as the narrator explains how the US Navy is a vital part of defense systems. But if a submarine or cargo ship is sunk? Protecting against such a catastrophic event is the job of the Underwater Explosions Research Division at the David Taylor Model Basin — a test facilities for the development of ship design in Maryland (mark 02:22). Engineers, physicists, mathematicians, and architects are shown hunched over plans as they conduct analyses of underwater explosions and experiments.  As the film progresses, it details five areas of investigation: what happens in the water during an underwater explosion, the response of submarine hulls, the machinery onboard submarines, the machinery on surface ships, and structural response of surface ships to a blast. First, the film visits the Underwater Explosions Barge, or UEB-1 (mark 04:10), a civilian-operated station. The camera offers viewers a look inside the barge with an explanation of some of the equipment and facilities. At mark 05:54 there is a explanation of the various instrumentation used on targets and at mark 07:11 begins an explanation of “underwater explosion phenomena” featuring images of both the surface effects and “an actual underwater explosion” (mark 07:26). There are scenes testing a submarine hull beginning at mark 08:03 as the vessel is shown lowered beneath the water and then raised and examined following an explosion, followed by a look at a sub’s machinery and images of how various pieces of equipment withstand blasts.

Dramatic music plays in the background at the physical beginning of the film as several various factory scenes are shown and the narrator explains how aluminum can be extracted and fit into any number of molds. The film shows several of those forms before the narrators — “Adam and Eve” — move into a discussion of bauxite, the principal ore of aluminum (mark 02:15), and how it is transformed into a compound called alumina (aluminum oxide). There are scenes from aluminum reduction plants as they film outlines obscure facts about the metal. Carbon, a byproduct of the aluminum manufacturing process, is used to create diodes and other products, as shown beginning near mark 04:55. By mark 07:00 the film glimpse “into the future” to see potential uses for the lightweight metal moving reaching the “start” of the film at mark 08:00 and a discussion how life was “in the beginning” for the Biblical figures of Adam. Eve appears on the scene at mark 08:52. But just as quickly as the characters are introduced, an awkward splice returns the action to “present day” at mark 09:38 and a scene of a farm carrying an aluminum irrigation pipe. A few seconds later the camera pans up the exterior of the Alcoa Building in Pittsburgh — “thanks to aluminum the lightest building of its kind ever built” — and at mark 10:00 we see how the windows rotate 360 degrees so they can be washed from the inside. Aluminum is used in aircraft and railways, we are told, as well as in trucks, baby strollers, highway signs, and fences. “As a woman, you’ll want to know that aluminum is non-toxic and can be used for easy-to-clean pots and pans,” Adam boasts at mark 11:25, plus flat irons, refrigerators, and ice cream scoops. “Aluminum. The most widely widely adaptable metal of all time,” he adds at mar...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bcc2e7c1-28af-4724-b970-24108a410432/abe6b61a-2bae-4467-9664-c0b6a3de165a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/piVExV1svMFzd3JL4AKpaU</video:player_loc><video:duration>1176</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T15:33:14.410Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oSqJqoa1QTtsdgjGq7v8Aw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/86a2a955-cf18-41f4-98f2-28d38273df3e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SUPERSONIC WEAPONS TRAINING SYSTEMS FOR MISSILE SYSTEMS  INDUSTRIAL FILM 51804</video:title><video:description>Del Mar Engineering Laboratories presents “Supersonic Weapons Training Systems,” a color film providing information on such missiles as the Sidewinder, Falcon, and Sparrow III. A company spokesman opens the film by explaining how Del Mar Engineering worked with US Air Force officials to develop various missiles including those used on the North American F-86D Sabre (mark 01:02). Before long, all branches of the military began employing some type of Del Mar system. Modern interceptor aircraft (mark 02:34) like the F-100 Super Sabre and F-104 Starfighter, use Sidewinder missiles while the F-102 Delta Dagger or F-106 Delta Dart employ Falcons. The narrator goes on to explain the basic components of then company’s supersonic weapons systems and its radar reflectivity, followed by a discussion of the company’s Model DX-6A Supersonic Tow Reel (starting at mark 05:00), footage of the Vought F8U Crusader single-engine supersonic jet aircraft in flight (starting at mark 05:25), and a detailed explanation of the construction and use of some of the targets they created. At mark 10:07 the film begins an explanation of two models Del Mar Reel Launchers, with footage accompanying each step of the narration. At mark 11:20, we see an F-100 in flight and fitted with a weapons training system that is then demonstrated, followed by similar footage of an F4H Phantom. “A joint problem of the free world nations is to maintain an ever ready  vigil against a possible aerial attack,” the narrator remarks beginning at mark 14:28. “We have the weapons to deter such an attack.”

Del Mar Engineering Laboratories was originally established in 1952 by Bruce Del Mar, who led the development of aircraft cabin pressurization systems, helping make possible today's commercial aircraft industry. By the mid-1960s, the company had become a leading U.S. Defense Department prime contractor in the development and production of aerial tow target systems for weapons training, and instrumented ground target...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b9337af3-7c9f-4e22-a236-6740b7a17db6/9fb6f481-6b57-4c00-bbbf-7b3551359e99-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oSqJqoa1QTtsdgjGq7v8Aw</video:player_loc><video:duration>924</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T15:33:51.626Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/osHCunX1CNCHF4t625gzZX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7cc80491-0fea-49cc-abf2-d438d327ae74.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NUCLEAR BOMB FRACKING  ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION  PROJECT GASBUGGY 27544</video:title><video:description>This film, "The Resourceful Atom: Project Gasbuggy" documents an  underground nuclear detonation carried out by the United States Atomic Energy Commission on December 10, 1967 in rural northern New Mexico. It was part of Operation Plowshare, a program designed to find peaceful uses for nuclear explosions.
Gasbuggy was carried out by the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory and the El Paso Natural Gas Company, with funding from the Atomic Energy Commission. Its purpose was to determine whether controlled nuclear explosions could be useful in loosening rock formations for the sake of natural gas extraction. In modern terms, it would be called a form of nuclear fracking.

The site of the test, which is now part of Carson National Forest, is approximately 25 miles southwest of Dulce, New Mexico and 50 miles east of Farmington, and was chosen because natural gas deposits were known to be held in sandstone beneath Leandro Canyon. A 29-kiloton device was placed at a depth of 4,227 feet underground and detonated; a crowd had gathered to watch, which viewed the detonation from atop a nearby butte.

The explosion was carried out according to plan, detonating successfully and creating an 80-foot-wide, 335-foot-deep crater at the site. Wells were drilled and natural gas was extracted from the site. However, the gas proved to be too radioactive to be commercially viable. Highly radioactive material in the area was removed, and the site is now level ground safe to approach at the surface, although drilling or digging in the area is prohibited. In 1978, a placard was installed at the site noting the location of ground zero.

After Gasbuggy, two further nuclear explosions were carried out as part of Operation Plowshare in the interest of gas extraction, both in Colorado. Devices were detonated at Rulison in 1969 and in Rio Blanco County in 1973, both with similar results.

It explores the early days of communication satellites. It opens with a look at the historic Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 (mark 00:38) and the final splashdown of the Apollo 17 crew (mark 01:35) before visiting the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas (mark 02:09). It’s there that the technology that helped put man on the moon was being used to advance communication systems. “Ways of meshing together men and machines … to attack problems at a grand scale,” the narrator explains at mark 02:36. The film flashes back to the Apollo 17 launch beginning at mark 03:20 as a Saturn V rocket lifts the spacecraft skyward. That mission — as with the missions before it — relied on superior communication between the spacecraft and mission control. Data is gathered and processed as the film shows scenes from the control center starting at mark 04:30 as well as images of the complex communications systems that made it possible. A discussion of the communication between Apollo 17 unfolds as animated scenes of the mission landing are shown and we listen to messages from the moon. The success of those missions was rooted in the cooperation of NASA scientists and engineers with industry and technology leaders (mark 07:15). Following a discussion of how some of that communication technology works, the film touches experiments conducted by Apollo 15 astronauts Dave Scott and Jim Irwin on the lunar surface (mark 08:45) including dropping a feather and an iron ball to see if, in a vacuum, both would fall at the same rate. All the while, information is being relayed to Earth via communication systems. 

Great amounts of data would continue to be relayed as part of the Skylab program, the viewer is told. Flight controllers on Earth undergo rigorous training, some of which is discussed starting at mark 10:55, so that they will be equipped to deal with any p...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6a024ebe-3fb5-4074-bc91-7c9dd40ebaf9/92b324a5-518d-4f10-a803-2f44e6094b77-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/e6ffUoYB34GQBPjvbCcgD4</video:player_loc><video:duration>1294</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T15:35:11.300Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/d7R6QcL5Sd81W1Z8skheEQ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fc4cd755-dc19-4c87-aeb4-8fe12f7eec07.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE MEN OF POLARIS"    U.S. NAVY POLARIS BALLISTIC MISSILE SUBMARINE PROGRAM PROMO  51494</video:title><video:description>“The Men of Polaris” is a circa 1963 United States Navy film that informs the viewer of the nuclear-powered fleet ballistic missile submarines. The USS Daniel Boone (SSBN-629) breaks the waves in the color film’s opening seconds while the narrator explains how it is the duty of sailors — and especially submariners — to “sustain the position of the United States and her allies in an unsettled world.” 

The film highlights the rigorous training and dedication of the men serving aboard Polaris fleet ballistic missile submarines, emphasizing their critical role in maintaining the United States' strategic deterrent. Starting at the historic submarine school in New London, Connecticut, sailors undergo intense classroom, laboratory, and practical training in submarine operations, nuclear propulsion, and missile systems. Polaris submarines, highly advanced and heavily equipped, require specially trained crews who operate globally from forward bases and support facilities. With over 40 submarines and 600 missiles, these men embody a powerful deterrent for peace, standing ready during extended undersea patrols to safeguard freedom and national security.


0:00 – Opening music sets the tone for a presentation on the men of the fleet ballistic missile weapon system.

0:53 – The narration emphasizes that like the ships named after distinguished men, the crew members have earned their place through their own efforts, sustaining the United States and its allies in an unsettled world.

1:11 – At the historic submarine school in New London, Connecticut, new Polaris submariners begin their training, having often completed months of preliminary schooling.

The C-5R was powered by a 331.1 cubic-inch Chrysler eight-cylinder, hemi-head engine with Zenith downdraft carburetors developing 310 horsepower at 5200 rpm. It sat on a 100-inch wheelbase and weighs 5200 pounds.

The film features images of the Alpha Romeo, Gordini (driven in part by American Harry Shell), Ferrari, Jaguar and other competitors. As the film shows in this era, the LeMans race was held on roads that were actually shared with motor traffic in practice sessions.

The 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans was the 21st Grand Prix of Endurance, and took place on 13 and 14 June 1953, at the Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans (France). It was also the third round of the F.I.A. World Sports Car Championship. 

At 3:40 the race begins with drivers running to their cars and jockeying for position. Cars begin reaching speeds over 150 mph as the Jaguar takes the lead. The race continues for seven hours as the sun goes down at 5:00. By now 15 entries have dropped out, and Cunningham is shown in the pits at 5:20 having a tire changed. At 5:40, the 13th hour, Cunningham is in third. At 6:00, the narrator mentions the fatal accident that tragically killed Tom Cole. At 6:40, Cunningham remains in the top of the race against the Jaguar. The Jaguar's disc brakes end up being a decisive factor, with the Jaguar setting a new course record, with Cunningham coming in third. British drivers Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton won the race with one of three factory-entered Jaguar C-Types, the first cars ever to race at Le Mans with disc brakes.

Cunningham’s car the C-5R was the fastest car at Le Mans in 1953, and the pre-race favorite to win. It was nicknamed “The Smiling Shark” due to the appearance of the front grille. It was equipped with the largest drum brakes ever fitte...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/10983940-d3ec-44e8-a97e-8cd31045aea3/b52b299e-a20d-4e4c-be6a-9b113c47d9c1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/33RqBeb4aKViBk9E4AyDB2</video:player_loc><video:duration>492</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T15:35:55.606Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/7L3mNwYpdwHTfMF54VfdYi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bc61fbbf-6815-4f3a-9cd8-a996b580008e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE RACE FOR SPACE   1959 EARLY SPACE FLIGHT HISTORY DOCUMENTARY  51264</video:title><video:description>“The Race For Space” is a 1959 made-for-television documentary film directed by David L. Wolper and narrated by famed newsman Mike Wallace. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, and originally aired in April 1960. 

The film opens with a countdown in Russian and a rocket streaking into the night sky in the opening seconds before Wallace notes “you are the first Americans to  see this launching of Sputnik 1.” (Sputnik, the first artificial Earth satellite, launched by the Soviet Union on Oct. 4, 1957. It triggered the Space Race and ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments.) Wallace explains the film’s purpose starting at mark 01:08, and how the “race for space has always involved a great ideal — a dream that existed long before the Cold War. One of man’s oldest dreams — a trip to the stars.”

Wallace explains at mark 04:44 how Robert Goddard, an American engineer, professor, physicist, and inventor, built the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket in 1926 and ushered in the Space Age. Wallace interviews his widow, Edith, starting at mark 05:30, who reminisces about her husband’s work while scenes of Goddard and his experiments unfold on the screen. 

The film goes back prior to World War II and to amateur rocketry clubs in Germany (mark 10:40), which helped filmmakers create the film “Woman in the Moon” in 1929. It is often considered to be one of the first “serious” science fiction films. A decade later it caught the eye of the Nazis (mark 12:09), who enlisted rocketry clubs to experiment with long-range rockets. That led to the creation of the V-2 rocket under the guidance of aerospace engineer Wernher von Braun. The picture goes on to show footage (mark 19:34) of successful rocket launches that had been shown to Adolf Hitler, followed by some of the devastation they brought upon London during World War II (mark 20:30).

With Germany finally defeated, rocketry caught the eye of the Americans and th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/36bd02ec-2ac0-4466-810f-9de00edf8d51/7ad487e8-fc34-4ed1-82df-6bca60f63104-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7L3mNwYpdwHTfMF54VfdYi</video:player_loc><video:duration>3167</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T15:42:59.656Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/p7zSzxLeadjhbkjsJm5ngv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d4c39413-b3ba-486e-82db-2d88a9a0f9e8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DRIVING IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS -- HYDROPLANING &amp; ICY ROADS  NASA FILM  51914</video:title><video:description>NASA and the US Department of Commerce Bureau of Public Roads created this color training fiIm in the early 1960s to warn motorists of the dangers of driving too fast on icy or wet pavements. “A skidding car is dangerous,” says the narrator at mark 01:00 following a series of vehicles fishtailing on a variety of slick surfaces. Texture of the pavement, the depth of the surface water, and the inflation of the tires and their treads are just some of the factors that can lead to a spin out. “But only you can recognize the danger signals,” we are cautioned at mark 02:00, “and only you can do something about them.” Some of that knowledge comes from experiments involving aircraft landing on we runways, and see film snippets from various tests showing tires being lifted off wet payment and riding on top of the water, a phenomenon known as hydroplaning (mark 04:12), which causes a driver to lose control. The film includes a series of graphics, beginning at mark 06:05, explaining hydroplaning speeds in a half-inch of water and the corresponding pounds of tire pressure, following by scenes illustrating those speeds. At mark 07:53 the film takes us to NASA’s Wallops Station (later renamed Wallops Flight Facility) in Virginia to witness a series of wet-pavement tests as the narrator explains the braking distances    at various speeds. “When pavements are wet, slow down,” the narrator offers as advice at mark 10:46.

The project engineer holds a model of the A1 missile (mark 00:45) as he explains how six of the weapons had already been built and tested in New Mexico and provides information as to its size and weight, as well as at the fact that its warhead was replaced with various test instruments. (The Army Hermes A-1 single stage test rocket was an American version of the German Wasserfall anti-aircraft rocket. Development began in 1946. Problems with the rocket engine delayed the first (failed) launch to May. Another failure in September 1950 was followed by a success on 2 February 1951. After two more tests in March and April the program was terminated in 1951, having been rendered irrelevant by more successful development of the Nike Ajax surface-to-air missile.)

Following a discussion of the propellant systems the film continues (starting at mark 02:00 with a detailed explanation of the Hermes A1 propulsion system with scenes of engineers mixed with diagrams. The narrator notes at mark 02:50 how the missile has been designed so that its transmission is coded, preventing it from being jammed by enemy forces.  A pattern of tactical performance is illustrated starting at mark 03:50 with a running narration before moving on to the White Sands Proving Ground (today known at the White Sands Missile Range) in New Mexico at mark 07:09 and a look at pre-flight and step-by-step launching procedures of an A1 missiles. At last the missile streaks skyward at mark 13:15 and it is shown being tracked by a series of observation stations on the ground before scientists determine its point of impact (mark 14:15) and collected so that its data could be analyzed.

Hostilities continued for another 12 hours resulting in more loss of life, and at mark 01:40 scenes of devastation are revealed “as an unnatural silence crosses the front.” The film begins a reflection of Naval operations during the war, including an image of the USS Valley Forge (CV-45), from which the first air strike of the Korean War was launched on July 3, 1950. We see aerial attack footage of various locations in North Korea followed by a recap of the Battle of Inchon starting at mar 03:33. The amphibious invasion resulted in a decisive victory for United Nations forces. Further land and air operation are discussed as troops fight their way through mud while receiving air support, including attacks on bridges across the Yalu River (mark 04:15) in the north. Navy F9F Panther jets, shown launching at mark 04:42, tangle Soviet-made MIG fighters in the North Korean sky, and soldiers eventually are forced to battle reinforcements from China (mark 05:00). Vice Admiral C. Turner Joy, Commander Naval Forces, Far East, is shown planning strategies at mark 05:15 and we learn how in early 1951, 8th US Army forces slowed Communist advances. General Mathew Ridgway, eventually the commander of all UN forces in Korea, is shown starting at mark 05:50 ordering the commencement of Operation Killer — the destruction of enemy forces wherever found. The film continues with additional footage of fighter jets launching from aircraft carriers and attacking enemy targets. “Make life miserable for the communists,” says the narrator at mark 07:20. Carrier planes and US Marine Corps pilots team up starting at mark 09:35 to attack North Korean power plants in 1952, as the narrator then explains how carrier aviation al...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/902bcbed-4fe2-4bd7-8dd3-5c21d3d7d03c/01e48984-d84f-4b65-8338-7d6cc30cece0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/iNyPxYcNGhMSxVAfUrgupN</video:player_loc><video:duration>798</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T15:47:21.983Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cwHKA4NgqrD4x8EwxRGbWv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/85c406c3-e893-4ce5-b4a8-66e2d9966117.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>DANGERS ALONG HAULAGE WAYS 1950s MINE SAFETY FILM   41314</video:title><video:description>The 1950s color training film “Dangers Along Haulage Ways” is a cautionary tale promoting mine safety. The scenarios are re-enactments based on case files. As the story opens, a mine worker is seriously injured because his thoughts were on an upcoming hunting trip — not on safety. Rather than drive his shuttle car in the direction of travel, “Mike” puts his vehicle in reverse (mark 02:30) and at a high rate of speed. The safety engineer doesn’t approve of such behavior (04:20) and reminds him (and the viewer) of safety rules and regulations. At mark 05:38 the film switches to loading machine operators who are stymied by a sudden power failure. Sadly, Mike is back to driving his shuttle car in reverse and crashes into the stalled loading machine (06:43). In the hospital his co-workers await word and remind each other of the importance of following safety protocol, and how any violation — big or small — of a safety practice is still a violation. We’re taken inside a safety meeting beginning at mark 09:22 and workers revisit topics such as loose lamp cords or belts and to be careful in tight passageways. Not everyone was paying attention, as a worker is shown conducting a routine repair and jumping between two moving carts only to have a loop of clothing become caught, crushing him against rock (mark 11:44). “The underlying cause of this accident was the workman’s failure to think about his safety,” laments a co-worker. There are continuing scenes of safety hazards and violations, each time the narrator stressing how injury could have been avoided by following safety protocol. As dramatic music swells, the message is driven home when, at mark 18:48, it’s revealed “Mike” died from his injuries. 

God bless our miners and everyone who works underground.

Featuring Chief of Staff George Marshall, the film speaks to the troops who won the war against Germany about the absolute necessity to defeat the Japanese. "They think we will grow tired of war," says Marshall, "and call it quits...our purpose is to crush Japan just as quickly as we can." To do this, Allied forces must be redeployed as soon as possible, and sent to Asia to defeat the remaining Japanese forces.

The film is fascinating in that it paints a portrait of the many scenarios that could have unfolded in the wake of the German collapse, all of them set against the assumption that for the war to come to an end, will involve a massive invasion of Japan. That of course would have occurred had the USA not dropped the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.. As the film shows, a massive effort was in the works to shift those U.S. forces in Europe not needed as occupation forces, and re-direct them to Asia.

At 3:30, a series of questions that might have been asked by battle weary forces in Europe are directed at General Dwight Eisenhower, General Joseph Stilwell, General Somervell, and others. Apparently few of the troops would have been given furloughs on the way to fight the Japanese. 

At 9:12, Secretary of War Stimson speaks about the logistics of moving troops across the Atlantic and the nature of the war economy. At 10:00, General Hap Arnold speaks about the idea of shipping troops home using aircraft.

The film ends with a surprising discussion of the reasons that the Japanese must be dealt with. This includes an admonition by Stimson and by General Marshall that, even in the wake of the triumph of V-E Day, the big picture has to be remembered and Japan defeated. "Japan must be completely crushed before we turn to the ways of peace...this must be the first priority..."

The USAF was officially created as a standalone agency only in 1947, and prior to that existed as part of the Army. As a result the USAF saw a need to educate the public about the Air Force's history and role. This television show was part of this effort.

Dating from Season 2, this episode describes America’s military involvement during the Korean War. An introductory scroll notes that “it is the job of all the people to know and understand what the airman haas done and is doing today,” and it is the goal of the film to do just that. At mark 01:09 we’re given the title of this episode: “Volume II Chapter II Meeting the Red Challenge,” and are told of a meeting in Korea shortly after the end of World War II between military representatives from the United States and the Soviet Union. The peninsula was split at the 38th parallel into two countries — Communist North Korea and democratic South Korea (mark 01:40). In June 1950, however, North Korean troops invaded the south with footage shown starting at mark 03:40, and the United States soon pledging support of the South Korean government. We see a B-29 in flight at mark 05:00 as well as F-80 squadrons (mark 05:15) followed by scenes of strafing and bombing missions starting at mark 06:00, as well as the deployment of the U.S. Army 24th Infantry Division (mark 08:10). The 24th Division troops are shown again at mark 09:35 after their arrival in Korea and as they take on North Korean soldiers … all while be aided by the U.S. Air Force. We see another formation of B-29s (mark 11:00) as they embark on another bombing raid on strategic targets and learn of how U.S. troops and other United Nations peace-keeping forces began to establish a stronghold in South Korea. “It was a peculiar war but the problems were not proving too much for the United States Air Force,” the narrator proclaims at mark 13:33 as the draws to a close.

Like the newsreels of the West, it contains various segments about sports, politics, and entertainment, but all through a Soviet lens. Notable segments include support of Vietnam in its fight against the USA and its allies,  and support of the Arabs against the Israelis and USA.
Narration:  "Soccer. European championship qualifier, the first for our team, took place in the Central Stadium named after Lenin in Moscow. Soviet players (in the dark uniform) played a game against the national team of Austria. For a long time, neither team was succeeding. But yet another fierce attack by our players leads to a goal! (01.44) 1:0. The Austrian goalkeeper is worried. The game gets tense. Another great hit scores the Soviet team a point. It is only now that Austrian players manage to take the game to the Soviet team’s half of the field. It’s the 38th minute of the match. A hit, and the guests manage to win one score back. Nevertheless, the score does not remain 2:1 for long.  Soon, it turns into 3:1, after one more goal into the Austrian net. (02.28) Yes, the Soviet team is obviously leading. But the Austrian team manages to take the initiative and score one more goal, 3:2. A few more minutes pass, and the score is equal, 3:3. Soviet players run towards the Austrian goalposts and succeed. Streltsov scores the winning goal. The Soviet team has made the first step towards the European championship finals. (03.04) The Secretary of the Party Organization of the plant, Kozlov, is speaking, ‘You all know well from history that the Middle East has always been the place that imperialists keep paying attention to. They have always been attracted by the Middle East oil. Currently, the fact of a treacherous attack, of naked aggression has become reality.’ (04.14)

That includes concealing both personnel and equipment on the ground while also tricking the enemy about their location and identity. The officers view an aerial photo of a runway while explaining the importance of changing the smooth texture of a runway to a rougher grade so it did not stand out in aerial photography (mark 02:05). They created a simulated hedgerow to make open fields seem less conspicuous, and starting at mark 04:20 discuss how to disguise building rooftops to make them blend in with surrounding terrain and distort their images from aerial views. Steel wool is used to simulate grass (mark 06:02). The officers are also encouraged to take advantage of the natural terrain, as aircraft are shown tucked into a wooded area for concealment (mark 07:25) and placing others along simulated hedgerows to hide their shadows. Although it may not look particularly deceptive from the ground the officer reminds us the goal is to deceive bombardiers and photographs. To prove the point the men look at transparencies containing camouflaged equipment. “If you can’t find them what luck do you think a bombardier will have?” the major asks (mark 09:44). 

As the film progresses the officers discuss ways to also deceive the enemy such as leaving decoy aircraft in fields and poorly camouflaging them to draw enemy fire. At 11:30, a fake airplane is created using a cloth kit.  At 14:30, a dummy building is shown that will look convincing from the air. The officers are reminded to literally “cover their tracks” when it comes to troop movement through tall grasses, as well covering go...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/229c9766-9144-48d1-99d8-c3600346d0ee/1abbbf0b-083c-4e80-96cf-61f34213551a-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5gTJoiHuQeBQgU1AUxrGq7</video:player_loc><video:duration>1609</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:00:11.757Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/h7X4qwrJq5shEpt2HxLLLF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ab7a7c81-8aa1-4dd3-8f27-7d087d5a5010.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1946 TRIP TO EUROPE ABOARD BATTLESHIP USS MISSOURI BB-63  52064</video:title><video:description>Shot by an unknown serviceman, this historic silent home movie shows a trip to Europe made aboard the battleship USS Missouri BB-63 sometime in the mid to late 1940s or early 1950s. Most likely this journey likely occurred in March of 1946, as Missouri visited Turkey in April of that year. It also could have been shot in 1951, because in the summer of that year she engaged in two midshipman training cruises to northern Europe.

The start of the film shows various views of the ship and its escorts, including USS Damato (DD-871), a Gearing class destroyer. It also shows the surrender plaque aboard the ship at about :25 seconds.

At 2:30, the trip to Europe begins with a train ride through France to Paris, and there are various scenes of the city including images of the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, railroad stations, etc. Versailles is seen in a color segment at 7:00, and the Eiffel Tower at 8:00. At 11:30, Le Mont-Saint-Michel is seen. At 13 minutes, the trip aboard the Missouri has resumed. At 13:23, ships company takes a swim. The ship is seen in an unknown port at the end of the film, and anchor is dropped as the film ends.

Narrated by actor and opera singer Basil Ruysdael, the picture begins with coverage of the fifth year of China’s Second Sino-Japanese War (mark 00:16) and footage of bombing raids and residents fleeing for shelter. There are battle scenes from Tobruk in Northern Africa and scenes of war-torn Greece as Nazis advance through the Balkans (mark 01:03). France submits to German occupation at mark 01:55 as scenes of teary-eyed men and women fill the screen, while Britain avenges the battleship HMS Hood by sinking the German ship Bismarck (mark 02:32). As the film continues, we are shown footage of the August meeting between US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (mark 03:09) that led to the creation of the Atlantic Charter — a pivotal policy statement that defined the Allied goals for the post-war world — as well as scenes of US forces in Iceland, a Nazi U-boat torpedo attack on the destroyer USS Kearny (DD-432), and violent US labor riots that includes scenes of police beating protesters with clubs (mark 06:13). Most of the film focuses on World War II, however, including the battleship USS North Carolina (BB-55) at mark 07:17 and the ongoing war in Russia (mark 07:55) with scenes of tanks, aircraft, and cavalrymen engaged in the fight. “A fateful year in which the whole world sinks more deeply into the abyss of war,” the narrator concludes at mark 09:26 as a ship sinks slowly into the sea.

The film contains famous footage of the Russian flag raised over the German Reichstag (5:27) and ends with Russian forces being greeted as heroes by newly liberated peoples (many of whom would soon find themselves ensnared behind the "Iron Curtain").

Narrator: At the same time with the offensive in Poland, our forces were conducting a successful operation in East Prussia, which was a bulwark of militarism and aggression. Every kilometer was marked by a heavily armed stronghold. But Soviet soldiers were unstoppable. (00.40) Konigsberg was taken over on April 9. All of East Prussia was occupied by the end of the month. When the spring of 1945 began, Soviet forces were 80 km away from Berlin. They had come a long and hard way. Hitler’s army was trying to stop our forces at the fringes of Berlin at any cost. They constructed robust fortifications out of reinforced concrete. (02.00) Approximately a million soldiers were drawn to Berlin by the Fascists. Three fronts were supposed to attack Berlin. The main blow was to be carried out by the first Belorussian front; the first Ukrainian front was performing an operation from the south, it was going to join the allies; the second Belorussian front was going to hit to the north of Berlin. Marshalls Zhukov, Konev, and Rokossovsky were appointed commanders of the Berlin operation. (02.41)
Thousands of weapons, planes, tanks were ready for the final battle. ‘Forward, to Berlin!’ – 2.5 million soldiers and officers from three fronts were inspired by this motto. On April 16, the grand Battle of Berlin began. On April 18, strongly fortified high grounds were taken over. On April 20, our artillery already placed fire on the capital of Germany. The heroic attack began. On April 21, soldiers of th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/96d5cee8-73e3-436c-9912-c865c237f00e/ccb3994e-26ec-45f9-a151-1276d639d2d4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jCi6DzXAVocktmR1g74MwW</video:player_loc><video:duration>587</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:04:26.847Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qnBxv8KM4yWXHBNzimWiR6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d942df4a-5c65-4997-bb2e-49f28f8fd445.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SOVIET UNION EASTERN FRONT 1944-1945  PROPAGANDA FILM PART 1  85134</video:title><video:description>This Soviet-produced documentary film shows the Red Army's long offensive of 1944 that led to victory against the Fascist Wehrmacht. It contains fascinating footage, rarely seen in the west. (The film covers early 1944 through January of 1945.)

Narrator:  "Soviet military forces fully obtained strategic initiative by 1944. The final victorious period of the war between the Soviet Union and Fascist Germany began. Military leaders planned to start a large offensive campaign from White Sea to Black Sea in 1944 since the political background was favorable. Winter campaigns of 1944 were supposed to defeat the enemy near Leningrad and Novgorod, in Ukraine and Crimea. (01.39) The attack near Leningrad was the first. The Red Army defeated the enemy and finally put an end to the siege of Leningrad. 900 days of suffering were over. (02.37) In winter and spring of 1944, Soviet forces launched an offensive in the Right-Bank Ukraine. 93 divisions of the enemy were located there, the biggest strategic force. 10 divisions were destroyed during the most important operation of the first stage, the enemy lost access to Dnepr. Our forces reached the border of Romania on March 26, all the military action moved outside of our motherland. (04.34) The Right-Bank Ukrainian campaign lasted for 3.5 months, many tank divisions were involved. Its success provided suitable conditions for the liberation of Crimea.  On April 8, 1944, our forces began the Crimean operation. The enemy was unprepared for a forceful attack.  It took Soviet forces only five days to retake Sevastopol, while Hitler’s army had spent 250 days on taking it over. (07.01)  
The success of USSR’s military campaigns proved that our country alone could fight the Fascists, which forced the Allies to open a second front in Europe. (07.33) On June 6, 1944, English-American forces landed in northern France. Nevertheless, the Soviet-German front remained the most important one. In summer 1944, the Soviet Army launched an offensi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c55fd9eb-8529-4aff-b58f-8367c51e2e13/06a09b5d-04fb-4ee9-a6eb-436109261480-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qnBxv8KM4yWXHBNzimWiR6</video:player_loc><video:duration>2569</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:07:12.304Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Soviet Union in WWII</video:tag><video:tag>1944</video:tag><video:tag>1945</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2kL12C22a1ixKvgiMmQbRK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/49be069c-2342-425e-a509-453db6315085.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. COAST GUARD ALASKAN PATROL   USCGC KLAMATH  80844</video:title><video:description>The sea lanes surrounding Alaska are the gateway to the Arctic Ocean, and of vital importance to the United States during the Cold War.  In this film, the men of the Coast Guard cutter USCGC Klamath (WHEC-66) visit Alaskan waters, and perform various humanitarian missions among its Native American residents.  Klamath also monitors the seas, servicing buoys and making certain the sea lanes are safe for transit. They also wave the flag near the shores of the United States' key adversary during the time the film was made: Soviet Russia.  Klamath was an Owasco class high endurance cutter originally built for World War II service.

The United States Coast Guard has a long history of service to Alaska. In 1865, the U. S. Lighthouse Service’s tender Shubrick, then operating under the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service, became the service’s first unit to touch Russian Alaska’s coastline. The tender was the flagship supporting Western Union’s expedition to string a telegraph cable from North America to St. Petersburg, Russia.

This silent documentary film "Big Boy and his Brothers" shows the big steam locomotives of the Union Pacific Railroad. Shot by Gene Miller primarily in western Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado, this film gives a rare look at some of the largest locomotives ever built. 
It includes images of the 4-12-2s known as the "Union Pacifics" at 2:43, the largest non-articulated locomotives at the time they were made, and featured 67-inch drivers. At 5:14, a 4-6-6-4 Challenger type is seen, introduced in 1936. The 4-8-4 engines are shown starting at 8:24, including the 800 series Nevada type that could pull 20 Pullman cars at 70 mph. At 12:17, the 4-8-8-4 Big Boys are shown.

"Big Boy" is the popular name of the American Locomotive Company 4000-class 4-8-8-4 articulated, coal-fired, steam locomotives manufactured between 1941 and 1944 and operated by the Union Pacific Railroad until 1959. The Big Boy fleet of twenty five locomotives were used primarily in the Wyoming Division to haul freight over the Wasatch mountains between Green River, Wyoming and Ogden, Utah. They were the only locomotives to use a 4-8-8-4 wheel arrangement consisting of a four-wheel leading truck for stability entering curves, two sets of eight driving wheels and a four-wheel trailing truck to support the large firebox.

According to a Union Pacific executive, the 4-8-8-4 series originally was to have been called "Wasatch". One day while one of the engines was being built an unknown worker scrawled "Big Boy" in chalk on its front. With that, the legendary name was born and has stuck ever since.

Postwar increases in the price of both coal and labor and the efficiency of diesel-electric motive power foretold a limited life for the Big Boys, but they were among the last steam locomotives taken out of service. Towards the end of their career, the Big Boys could still pull more than their rated tonnage of 6,573 short tons (5,963 t). The Big Boys' r...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d13189a0-231c-4cb5-96b4-5f8295c85750/142d1752-8aee-4564-b89e-f9ffe8204445-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rQgcS8aksQN4M2S7WdcLyG</video:player_loc><video:duration>871</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:09:53.734Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9Pyg8U7RE2Z6np6ZWStbaF</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/8fd938ea-7b20-495f-b832-f619829c4399.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT SMOKING AT YALTA CONFERENCE 48834</video:title><video:description>President Franklin Roosevelt was perhaps the most famous cigarette-smoking President in history. He smoked up to two packs a day, but you rarely would see him smoking in newsreels. This Soviet newsreel from the Yalta Conference, shot just a short time before FDR's death, captures him smoking at the table with Stalin, Churchill and other leaders.

The Yalta Conference, sometimes called the Crimea Conference and codenamed the Argonaut Conference, held from February 4 to 11, 1945, was the World War II meeting of the heads of government of the United States, the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, represented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Premier Joseph Stalin, respectively, for the purpose of discussing Europe's post-war reorganization. The conference convened in the Livadia Palace near Yalta in Crimea, USSR.

The film ends before the final battles in Germany, with a gaunt-looking President Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin meeting at Yalta. Notably, the film contains rare footage (at 10:06) of FDR smoking a cigarette. This was the type of material that would never have appeared in an American newsreel of the era!

Narrator: The Red Army chased the enemy off our land. The great liberating operation began in Europe, which was enslaved by the Fascists. Taking over others’ territories was not our goal. The government of the USSR stated, ‘We are not guided by revenge. Our aim is to destroy German Fascism, to rid nations of Hitler’s occupation, to provide them with freedom.’ (01.04) 
On August 31, Soviet forces and Romanian Volunteer Division entered Bucharest that had been liberated. They had to fight cruel battles and eliminate a powerful group of German soldiers. (01.39)
The Red Army is entering Bulgaria. The Soviet Army had no battles on Bulgarian territory. The Bulgarian operation turned out to be a triumphant liberating campaign. Sofia is celebrating. (02.22)
Our divisions joined the Czechoslovak Corps after fierce fighting and came to the border of Czechoslovakia. In the beginning of 1945, Slovakia was liberated.  The Red Army was of great help to the Yugoslav liberation movement. Fulfilling a request of Marshall Tito, Soviet forces entered Yugoslavia and began an offensive on Belgrade. Having defeated the enemy, the Red Army entered Belgrade together with the Yugoslav national liberation army. (03.53) Soviet people gave away hundreds of thousands of lives of its sons for the liberation of the European nations. Axis powers fell apart. Fascist Hungary was remaining the last ally of Germany.

This Soviet propaganda film recounts the crucial events of 1919 with the White Army battling the Red Army for control of Russia.

Narrator: In the summer of 1919, the Soviet Republic was threatened by a new military power. General Denikin formed an army of 200,000 people out of officers, Cossacks, and groups of local nationalists in the south. In July 1919, in Tsaritsyn, general Denikin issued a directive ordering the forces to take over Moscow. (01.00)  An offensive was launched. In October 1919, Denikin occupied Oryol, his troops were threatening Moscow. That was one of the most critical moments of the Socialist Revolution according to Lenin’s opinion. (01.46) ‘There should be no indifferent people among us! Everyone should fight Denikin!’, the Pravda newspaper appealed. Forces of the Red Army of peasants and workers left from Moscow to fight the white guards. (02.27) Denikin’s army was stopped near Oryol, parts of the Red Army launched a counter attack. The Whites left Oryol on October 20. Soon, Voronezh and Kursk were liberated from the Denikin’s army. (03.16) In December 1919, the Red Army was succeeding in battles in Ukraine and entered Kiev. In January 1920, the Donets basin was taken over. Rostov, the center of the counterrevolutionary movement, was occupied. The White army of Denikin was defeated. 

Anton Ivanovich Denikin (16 December 1872 – 8 August 1947) was a Lieutenant General in the Imperial Russian Army (1916) and afterwards a leading general of the White movement in the Russian Civil War.

This film recounts how Denikin led one final assault of the southern White forces in their final push to capture Moscow in the summer of 1919. For a time, it appeared that the White Army would succeed in its drive, but Denikin's army would be decisively defeated at Orel in October 1919, some 400 km south of Moscow. The White forces in southern Russia would be in co...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/00ca987b-fe3f-4c86-bbbc-c82d314455d7/ac28ec0a-c5e0-4d83-8ae3-8b39d99a70c7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/16EK9yDtunU6p6QEixtra2</video:player_loc><video:duration>251</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:10:26.533Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8NBVbAB79qRRHNhzVTJv6m</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9b3097cd-b519-4766-bacf-099d4de382eb.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>MGM-1 MATADOR GUIDED MISSILE  GLENN L. MARTIN COMPANY 49904</video:title><video:description>“X Minus Zero” opens with a United States Air Force general briefly explaining the purposes of that branch’s missile test center — such as flight-testing guided missiles. The circa 1958 film’s purpose, he reveals at mark 00:45, is to give the viewer “a much clearer understanding of our mission.” The film shows a flawless launch of a guided Matador surface-to-air missile, but the narrator quickly explains that much work was put into the launch prior to countdown. The viewer receives a history of the missile’s development starting at mark 03:27 and news of how the government contracted with the Glenn L. Martin Company, a Baltimore aircraft and aerospace manufacturing company, to develop and build a self-propelled, sub-sonic missile that could be remotely controlled and reach a target in a span of minutes. The result was the Martin MGM-1 Matador, the first operational surface-to-surface cruise missile built by the United States. Much attention is place upon checks and safeguards prior to firing, beginning with its arrival at Patrick Air Force Base in Brevard County, Florida, at mark 04:45. A map at mark 06:34 shows the planned trajectory of one test flight, with additional details about the path and planning detailed as the film moves along. Air Force personnel keep the testing area free of human occupancy with search planes and boats, as is shown starting near mark 12:00. As we watch scenes of the systems being constantly checked and rechecked, the missile is ready for launch at mark 16:30, finally taking to the sky at mark 17:15. “This is only the beginning,” the narrator claims. “We wonder what the future will bring.”

The Martin MGM-1 Matador was the first operational surface-to-surface cruise missile built by the United States. It was similar in concept to the German V-1, but the Matador included a radio command that allowed in-flight course corrections. This allowed accuracy to be maintained over greatly extended ranges of just under 1000 km. To allow these ra...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3f325192-8f32-41e8-a6c5-6381f4a3b76a/0a672ee5-5f2b-490c-8aa8-7cfb8b921ef7-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/8NBVbAB79qRRHNhzVTJv6m</video:player_loc><video:duration>1094</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:13:03.468Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tEbNvcFVjjvsorDcTWmiSh</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/5c344d47-516f-478f-9b1e-e998aed676e7.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OPERATION CROSSROADS DRONE B-17  PREPARATIONS &amp; TEST FLIGHTS  51944</video:title><video:description>Dating to 1946, this silent, raw footage shows preparations underway to document the Operation Crossroads atomic bomb tests using drone B-17 aircraft. The Enewetak Atoll, home base for the drone operations, is seen at 1:35 from the air, with various views of the area that would be used for the later Operation Sandstone tests. At 6:30, drone B-17 aircraft are seen. These were equipped with radio controls and television cameras so that they could be flown remotely through the atomic cloud to obtain test data. At 11:36, a slate is seen "Operator monitoring for paper recorder mother ship" -- the mother ship in this case is the aircraft from which the drone was flown.  Practice landings are seen at 12:00.

Both the Navy and the Army Air Forces flew remote-controlled drones during Crossroads, a joint undertaking to see how much damage Navy ships, equipment, and material would incur in a nuclear blast. It took a sizeable contingent to find out: 42,000 men, 242 ships, 156 airplanes, 750 cameras, 25,000 radiation recorders, 5,000 pressure gauges, and four TV transmitters. Among the participating aircraft were Navy Grumman F6F Hellcats and Army Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses, which served as unmanned reconnaissance observers. 

The first test on July 1, called Able, was an air drop explosion from a B-29 Superfortress, Dave’s Dream, on a 90-ship target fleet. After just eight minutes, a B-17 drone entered the mushroom cloud at 24,000 feet, followed a few minutes later by three other B-17 drones at 30,000, 18,000, and 13,000 feet. The Navy, meanwhile, sent in three F6F drones assigned to the carrier Shangri-La at altitudes of 20,000 feet, 15,000 feet, and 10,000 feet. All the drones were remotely operated by pilots flying in similar aircraft. 

The drones collected air samples while their automatic cameras took photographs before returning to base (Enewetok for the B-17s, Roi Island off Kwajalein for the Hellcats). The samples were sent to Kwajalein for analysis.

These appear to include the ES EVM, one of a series of clones of IBM's System/360 and System/370 mainframes, released in the Comecon countries under the initiative of the Soviet Union in the 1960s. Production continued until 1998. The total number of ES EVM mainframes produced was more than 15,000.

The film also includes footage of an exhibition starting at 8:40, of a mainframe computer that included a typewriter system. 

Footage of earlier computers is also seen, including what might be the Strela computer at 57 seconds. The Strela computer (Russian: ЭВМ Стрела, arrow) was the first mainframe computer manufactured serially in the Soviet Union, beginning in 1953.

This first-generation computer had 6200 vacuum tubes and 60,000 semiconductor diodes. The Strela's speed was 2000 operations per second. Its floating-point arithmetics was based on 43-bit words with a signed 35-bit mantissa and a signed 6-bit exponent. Operative Williams tube memory (RAM) was 2048 words. It also had read-only semiconductor diode memory for programs. Data input was from punched cards or magnetic tape. Data output was to magnetic tape, punched cards or wide printer. The last version of Strela used a 4096-word magnetic drum, rotating at 6000 rpm.

We could certainly use help of experts in identifying the various computer systems shown in the film! Please leave information for us in the comments section below.

The film shows how these twelvewide homes can be moved on highways and byways without damage or causing accidents. Once in place they are comfortable homes that have so much space that they actually have hallways.

This film documents a shift in the prefabricated home industry. Prior to the 1950s, house trailers were marketed for camping or extended travel, but not so much as replacements for homes. But in the 1950s, they began to be marketed primarily as an inexpensive form of housing designed to be set up and left in a location for long periods of time, or even permanently installed with a masonry foundation. Units had been eight feet or less in width, but in 1956, the 10-foot (3 m) wide home ("ten-wide") was introduced, along with the new term "mobile home" smaller, "eight-wide" units could be moved simply with a car, but the larger, wider units ("ten-wide", and, later, "twelve-wide") usually required the services of a professional trucking company, and, often, a special moving permit from a state highway department. During the late 1960s and early 70s, the homes were made even longer and wider, making the mobility of the units more difficult. Nowadays, when a factory-built home is moved to a location, it is usually kept there permanently and the mobility of the units has considerably decreased. In some states, mobile homes have been taxed as personal property if the wheels remain attached, but as real estate if the wheels are removed. Removal of the tongue and axles may also be a requirement for real estate classification.

The film shows the California Central Valley water system, beginning with the high mountains including Mount Shasta, and terminating in agricultural lands in the south of the state.

Using aerial photography from the Goodyear airship Resolute, the picture opens with mountainous views from around California including Mount Shasta. Near mark 04:00 the film visits the Central Valley, an area outlined by the Cascade, Sierra Nevada, and Tehachapi mountain ranges on the east, and the California Coast Ranges and San Francisco Bay on the west. But drought is taking its toll on some parts, as we see images of dilapidated and abandoned farmhouses and parched earth (mark 04:23). At mark 05:25 we see San Francisco and the Pacific Ocean, and are soon reminded that civilizations depend on water to survive, and that water sometimes falls and flows in all the wrong places. At mark 06:25 we watch as men near Sacramento survey the land “to find a way to preserve a fertile garden empire” in preparation for a dam construction. (That would become Shasta Dam which began construction in 1938 and was opened in 1945). The picture details what was involved in building the dam and making sure supplies could reach the area — eventually creating a lengthy conveyor belt that took material from Redding across the Sacramento River to the site. We are shown many aerial views of the conveyor belt as it crosses highways, railroad tracks, and county roads. Mile after mile the film captures scenes from the conveyor belt — a distance of 10 miles. “A giant transportation job at a fraction of the old cost,” says the narrator at mark 16:28. Scenes from the dam’s construction continue to fill the screen as it slowly rises from the ground and the narrat...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a897de46-01ef-4ad5-82ec-e45b65894e2f/b8680685-8a03-49e0-8b8e-a9910e68dc56-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mPtNVgc9nCYqSepJ1QshAK</video:player_loc><video:duration>1236</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:21:20.887Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/19jxo3VU6jhL6VmYU2ib1P</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/917cdf5e-bad0-4eb7-83cf-b9bc54a133f6.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" A CAR IS BORN " FORD MOTOR COMPANY 1972 AUTOMOBILE PRODUCTION &amp; DESIGN  49744</video:title><video:description>Browse our products on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2YILTSD

“A Car Is Born” is a 1972 Ford Motor Company promotional film that shows how the modern automotive assembly line produces a precision machine. It contains shots of 1972 Mach 1 Mustangs and Torinos as well as designs (shown in clay model form) for the 1974 Mustang II.

The film begins with a literal bang — a massive explosion of earth followed by scenes from construction sites and factories. Molten metal drips from containers while the scenes are interspersed with clips of car owners explaining what they look for in an automobile. “Where does a customer’s new car begin?,” asks the narrator at mark 02:26. “It begins in the minds of people — our first resource.” It also begins in auto manufacturer’s scientific research laboratories — with a montage of scenes flashing on the screen as the narrator explains how those settings serve as “gateway to the unknown”  — as well as in factories and through the use of machines. We learn of the electrocoat paint process as a car is shown being dipped into a solution at mark 04:32, as well as an experimental “powered paint process.” A discussion of safety protocols soon follows with scenes of a salvage yard mixed with cars in factories being smashed in the interest of safety.  Yet is is “people who make the system work,” says the narrator at mark 06:18, and we see a variety of scenes of factory workers going about their daily routines. Performance and design are always key areas of improvement in Ford automobiles, the narrator explains come mark 07:55, with engineers always taking customer concerns into consideration when designing and redesigning their product.

The film shows several luxurious homes and street scenes as the narrator explains how golf is the life blood of the city, so much so that many businesses close during the course of the day so that owners may take time to head to the links. Even “gentlemen of the cloth … mingle with their flocks” as at mark 01:50 two clergymen walk to the greens toting their clubs. Mark 02:00 takes the viewer to nearby Taylortown, a rural community that’s almost exclusively inhabited by caddies and their families. The famed Pinehurst Country Club is shown at mark 02:45 as the narrator explains how the resort is home to the North and South Open (one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the United States from 1902 to 1951). Beginning at mark 03:08 the film shows several professional and amateur golfers taking swings at the 1938 North and South Open including Johnny Revolta, George Dunlap, Ed Dudley, and Jimmy Thompson, before following them to the greens. Byron Nelson slams one down the fairway at mark 04:03, as does Thompson and other golfers. Legendary amateur golfer Bobby Jones is shown photographing the event at mark 05:08 as Horton Smith heads to the 18th hole at mark 05:20 and Vic Ghezzi is shown sinking the final putt to take the title. Several professional “feminine champions” at Pinehurst are also shown starting at mark 05:50 including Estelle Lawson Page, Dorothy Kirby, Virginia Hemphill, and Helen Guilfoyle, before showing some golf tips from the pros, including a few illustrated by Horton Smith. (Smith had won the 1937 North and South Open, and was the winner of the first and third Masters Tournaments). 

Pinehurst Resort is a historic golf resort in the United States, located in Pinehurst, North Carolina. It has hosted a number of prestigious golf tournaments.

The Coast Guard is responsible for regulating and supervising the handling and stowage of explosives and dangerous cargo on merchant vessels in U.S. ports to ensure maximum safety for vessels, their crews, and surrounding communities. This includes overseeing the transportation, loading, and unloading of various types of military explosives, which must be loaded under strict regulations at authorized anchorages or piers. Vessel owners must obtain permits and submit detailed cargo plans to the captain of the port, who supervises and certifies compliance with safety standards.  The safety of rigging and cargo handling gear is critical, and both vessel officers and Coast Guard personnel share responsibility for ensuring that all procedures and equipment meet regulatory requirements to prevent accidents and maintain security throughout the loading process.

The Barry Goldwater presidential campaign of 1964 began when United States Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona elected to seek the Republican Party nomination for President of the United States to challenge incumbent Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson. Early on, before officially announcing his candidacy for the presidency, Goldwater was accused by Governor of New York Nelson Rockefeller of attempting to galvanize southern and western Republican support while neglecting the industrial northern states, eventually becoming one of Goldwater's primary opponents in the race for the Republican Party's nomination in 1964.

Amid growing popularity in the southern states in the early 1960s, Goldwater had been anticipating and looking forward to an "issue-oriented" campaign against Democrat John F. Kennedy, a personal friend of his. Goldwater, who was an aviator by hobby, wished to fly about the country in an attempt to revive whistle stop train tour-style debates. Kennedy's assassination in November 1963 dashed Goldwater's hopes of an election contest between himself and his friend and political rival. Nevertheless, Goldwater officially announced his candidacy for the presidency in January 1964 from the patio of his Arizona home. Following a battle with moderate and liberal Republicans in the Republican primary, such as Nelson Rockefeller and with moderate conservatives such as William Scranton among others, Goldwater won the party's nomination for president.

Goldwater selected William E. Miller, U.S. Representative and chairman of the Republican National Committee, as his running mate for the general election. Although virtually unknown to many voters, Miller was viewed by those familiar with him as a wise choice for the vice-presidential nomination, with his supporters arguing that he would play a key role in waging an aggres...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/92b3cce0-4051-471c-b755-cd442c378afd/dada026c-7f5c-400c-9b63-362f01e5a036-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/j7GiYaJksTxvGHWAa7YsQV</video:player_loc><video:duration>1056</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:30:39.682Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1frS2uSHjGZGZHw1s5LZfK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b3ba9365-1fbd-468e-8fc0-5ef2a9963cdc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE ORANGE  FRUIT OF LIFE  PROMOTIONAL FILM  ST. PETERSBURG FLORIDA 51324</video:title><video:description>“The Orange Fruit of Life” is a color film celebrating citrus. Produced by Robert Leahey Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida, the 1960s era picture opens with numerous scenes of orange groves before the narrator explains how “long, long ago” on the southern tip of Asia, “a miracle occurred — the first orange was born.” Over thousands of years the fruit was carried from Asia through India and Northern Africa and finally to Spain, where in the late 1400s Christopher Columbus brought the fruit to Hispaniola. By the 1500s the orange found its way to St. Augustine, Florida, where at mark 01:45 we are shown the oldest budded orange grove in America, dating to 1579. The films shows re-enactments of elaborately dressed 16th century residents enjoying oranges as well as Seminole Indians (mark 02:33) who considered the orange to be “the fruit of life.” Fast forwarding hundreds of years to the end of the Civil War, we again see orange groves while at mark 04:32 the viewer is told how the fruit soon made its way across state lines as a popular export. By 1910, production of the Florida crop passed 5 million boxes and continued to grow with more than 10 million boxes harvested by 1920. Amidst scenes of orange crates being loaded onboard train cars, we are told how the introduction of frozen orange concentrate in 1945 revolutionized the industry (mark 05:57). Millions of people could now enjoy Florida orange juice. The narrator excitedly explains the benefits of frozen orange concentrate starting at mark 07:00 aided by visual effects and scenes of housewives making pitchers of the product. At mark 07:30 the film travels inside a Minute Maid plant to explore how 12 oranges are converted into six ounces of concentrate, with each step of process captured on film.

“The Rock of Gibraltar” is a silent, Frith Films presentation that takes its viewer to the British limestone promontory near the coast of Spain. The 1950s film opens with color images of the monolith as the narrator discusses some of its history and mazes of tunnels. At mark 00:53 we learn of the Rock’s importance in World War II and the North African campaign, having once housed the headquarters of General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Much of the Rock is taken up by military barracks and arsenals, we’re told starting at mark 01:35, though the area is also a popular tourist destination with a hotel and some residential properties, as well as a grammar school and high school. We see King’s Bastion at mark 03:45 and the governor’s house while also catching views of the various shops and businesses selling items with British, Spanish, North African, French, Arabic, and Indian influences. The film shows the viewer glimpses of the “entertainment district” and parks (mark 05:50), many of which are designed to honor the Rock’s role in history. Mark 06:30 shows some of the sandy beaches available for tourists, residents, and military personnel, followed by scenes of a Moorish castle constructed circa 711 and the Barbary macaque population the inhabits the island (the only wild monkey population in the European continent). After watching a soccer game between teams from Gibraltar and Spain starting at mark 07:50 the film shows a few ceremonial events including the “changing of the keys to the gates” beginning at mark 09:15 before a few final scenes of the Rock of Gibraltar as seen from the sea.

The Red Adair Co., Inc. presents “The Devil’s Cigarette Lighter.” This circa 1962 color film features the first person narration of famed oil well fire fighter Red Adair, who takes you step by step as he and his fire fighters (including Boots Hansen and Coots Mathews) extinguished the oil well fire that put the Red Adair Company on the map and made him a celebrity. The natural gas well fire was nicknamed “The Devil’s Cigarette Lighter. The fire, in the Sahara Desert of Algeria, ignited in 1961 when a pipe ruptured on a Phillips Petroleum Company-owned well. The blowout and fire were estimated to have consumed enough gas to supply Paris for three months. After burning almost six months, the fire was extinguished by Adair by using explosives to deprive the flame of oxygen. The incident became the basis of the film Hellfighter starring John Wayne in the role of Adair.

The film opens with scenes from the Sahara and the fire (mark 01:37), as Adair explains how he and his crews had to dig for water to first try to extinguish the blaze. His calm and reassuring drawl covers each step of the operation as he is occasionally asked questioned about the project. At mark 08:17 streams of water are shown cooling the area before work crews moved in, and at mark 11:30 viewers get a close-up look of the flames. After attacking the base of the fire with water, Adair is shown at mark 14:00 preparing drums which will hold the explosives that eventually be used to extinguish the blaze. He carefully explains the process as events plays out on screen, and the camera shakes at mark 16:25 as the explosives go off. By mark 18:50, Adair uses to diagrams to further explain the process used to extinguish the Devil’s Cigarette Lighter before returning to footage that includes preparing to cap the well (mark 22:55). Following a series of more graphics and preparation, the flow of gas is finally shut off at mark 30:32.

The "fighting priest" and his "village that refused to die" attracted admiring media stories, and in 1964 he received the Ramon Magsaysay Award in the Public Service category.

In January 1961, Edward Lansdale visited Father Hoa and Binh Hung. Back in Washington, he was surprised to find that President John F. Kennedy had taken a personal interest in his report on Hoa, and wanted it published in the Saturday Evening Post. It was attributed to "an American officer." The town of Newburyport, Massachusetts adopted Binh Hung as a sister community, and the Post followed up with another story on Father Hoa. Other correspondents who took up the story of the Sea Swallows included Dickey Chapelle and Stan Atkinson, who remembered Father Hoa decades later as the "most unforgettable character" he met in his travels.

Father Hoa's success inspired others to join his Sea Swallows, including a company of "Nung tribesmen." Declassified documents would reveal that the Nung fighters were actually a contingent of Nationalist soldiers from the Republic of China.

As the political situation in Saigon deteriorated, Father Hoa saw the battle turning and little chance of winning. Discouraged, he left Binh Hung, and retired to a parish in Taipei.

"Voice of Truth" uses a Tokyo Rose broadcast as its conceit, to remind the audience of the stakes in the war.  Tokyo Rose (alternative spelling Tokio Rose) was actually a generic name given by Allied forces in the South Pacific during World War II to any of approximately a dozen English-speaking female broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. However, Iva Toguri is the most famously linked name behind the Tokyo Rose. She was a native to Los Angeles who was stranded in Japan when the war broke out. 

The intent of these enemy broadcasts was to disrupt the morale of Allied forces. American servicemen in the Pacific often listened to the propaganda broadcasts to get a sense, by reading between the lines, of the effect of their military actions. Toguri often undermined the anti-American scripts by reading them in a playful, tongue-in-cheek fashion, even going as far as to warn her listeners to expect a "subtle attack" on their moral.  Farther from the action, stories circulated that Tokyo Rose could be unnervingly accurate, naming units and even individual servicemen; though such stories have never been substantiated by documents such as scripts and recorded broadcasts.

Toguri's prominence saw her branded as one of the war's most notorious propagandists, but evidence shows that she was not a Japanese sympathizer. Toguri's program became conflated with more vicious propaganda, and she was arrested and convicted of treason after the Japanese surrender. She was released from prison in 1956, but it would take more than 20 years before she finally received an official presidential pardon for her role in the war.

This Cold War era Soviet propaganda film shows a brief history of the Soviet Revolution with images of the Civil War, before launching into a discussion of the long rebuilding efforts that followed the Socialist victory. It then discusses some of the economic development plans that resulted in prosperity in the 1930s in the USSR.

Narration: ‘A revolution is only worth something if it can defend itself’, Lenin said those days. The working people of Russia, who had just recently come to peace, resorted to arms again. The Soviet Republic was not alone in this unequal battle. 'Hands off Russia!’ 'Proletarians! A general strike!' Proletarians of Europe replied with angry meetings and protests of solidarity to the interference with the internal affairs of Russia. (01.07) But the people's army had the final word. The Red Army broke the blockade and started pushing the enemy, going on the offensive. (01.45) ‘The dictatorship of the proletariat is not merely the use of violence against the exploiters and it is not even mainly the use of violence', said Lenin. (02.00)
The main goal of the dictatorship of the proletariat was the creation of a socialist society. But how do you create socialism in a backwards, downfallen, and starving country? (02.20) Lenin gave an answer to that question. Industrialization, collectivization, and cultural revolution are the main steps towards the socialist reform of Russia according to Lenin. (02.40) But such an industry had to be created from scratch, with one’s own hands and mind, under constant threat of an intervention. They needed to hurry, being faster than time. The whole country hastened. (03.30) The first construction projects were the glorious firstborns of the Soviet industry. They became a legend, just like people: Alexei Stakhanov, a miner from Donetsk, gave name to the movement for high productivity; Nikolai Smetanin, the first Sta...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bf8500ea-20a7-46e8-bf59-0ce8e5fab20d/333ae990-49ab-4105-9fd7-e778de1e10e4-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/pDFquSJrPDPc9ZPST8YB1i</video:player_loc><video:duration>607</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:43:12.914Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8SYy2f2A1YKvULtiRUtxD4</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a39b1347-8edd-41ca-9cdf-d70cc22b656a.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>“ IN CASE OF FIRE - FIRE DRILLS AND FIRE SAFETY ” 1959 EB FILMS FIRE SAFETY EDUCATIONAL FILM  50864</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

This Soviet propaganda film celebrates the nation's victory in World War II while showing the strengthening of Socialism and the USSR in the 20th Century.

Narrator: The more years pass since the war ended, the brighter seem the feats of the Soviet nation that fought a cruel and powerful enemy and protected its motherland’s freedom, happiness, and future. (02.09) We keep remembering those who hastened victory with their own blood, life, and effort. The Soviet Army, its commanders, and soldiers were the creators of the Great Victory. The soldiers’ fortitude, bravery, and great willpower amazed the whole world. (02.43) The heroes of the home front were also creators of victory. Their labor merits were united with soldiers' efforts. (02.56) Lenin’s Party was the wise chief in this sacred war, the Communist Party. It appealed, ‘Everything for the front, everything for victory!’ It directed the mind, will, and energy of the nation to achieve a single goal, to win over Fascism. (03.22)
The path to victory was long and hard. Nevertheless, the long-awaited day came. (04.32) Our social system won. The Soviet Socialist government, born in October, won. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the union of big and small nations that are nevertheless equal. (05.05) In our country, for the first time in history, a government was born where everything that was created by nature and the nation’s effort belongs to the nation itself. We are proud of it. We are also proud of the fact that it is not exploiters or rich men who govern our country, but those who earned nation’s love, respect, and trust through their honest labor. (05.51)
Nowadays, everyone knows that the most responsible and strong modern revolutionary class is workers. The Communist Party is the militant vanguard of this class in every country of the world. But it is in our country, where the Party was led by a genius th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c413de60-6a54-4edb-b063-30e64eeda297/bf7d8706-2f90-44aa-ba31-d76be16b4a6b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qdjRc9h9MTjpnLE6opVGMe</video:player_loc><video:duration>619</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:46:03.375Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/11M6Zv8zR3qpuWd1KPXzU3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/de58103c-be31-4aa4-863e-400754d86b36.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SOVIET PROPAGANDA FILM  AMERICAN IMPERIALISM in VIETNAM &amp; PRESERVATION OF PEACE 50404</video:title><video:description>For simultaneous translation, hit the "closed caption" button and then turn on "auto translate."

This Soviet propaganda film from the height of the Cold War rails against American imperialism and portrays the Soviet Union as a peaceful actor that is helping preserve peace in the world. The film includes anti-Vietnam protests and footage from the Vietnam conflict, including Russia's allies the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese. It also includes Red Square parades with Soviet ICBMs on display, as well as maneuvers by MiGs.

Narrator:A sinister series of military conflicts keeps emerging in different parts of the world ever since the final shots of the Second World War have been fired. Imperialism stands behind each one of them. American imperialism is the most aggressive of all. (00.38)
Imperialists commit all sorts of crimes when trying to establish their dominance over the peoples. They create conspiracies, trigger civil unrest, spread racial and ethnic hatred.  If all these dirty enterprises do not prove successful, they impudently intrude into a foreign country. (01.11)  What should peace-loving governments do in similar situations? The only way to preserve international peace is to firmly fend off the aggressor. That is what the Soviet government does, in alliance with the progressive powers of the world. (02.02) A powerful protest movement against American aggression in Southeast Asia has by now spread to all continents. ‘Get out of Vietnam!’, the nations of the world demand. (02.21)
But the aggressors are deaf to the voice of the international community. They force their way and expand the limits of this criminal war. (02.43) In these conditions, the Soviet Union is faithful to its international duty, it increases its help to the fighting Vietnamese nation.

Made at a time when generational shifts were beginning to threaten "traditional values",  the film challenges apathy and neglect. "Magic Bond" features actors Joe Adelman, Owen Bush, Kermit Echols, James Lantz and Keith Painton as soldiers in WWII. 

The film presents the Veterans of Foreign Wars as a fraternal and social organization, with emphasis on their projects that benefit community life and cohesion. The movie begins with a wonderful, Altman signature type scene where a group of soldiers (with typical overlapping dialogue and tough, realistic script) discuss their brotherhood together as warriors.  The film then shifts to a more presentational storyline, with  war correspondents and a narrator promoting the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The focus of the VFW is to promote American values and comradeship, and help veterans, fight apathy, juvenile delinquency, and smugness. The group's various community events (including marbles tournaments), voter registration and information campaign, assistance for disabled vets, and patriotic memorial events are shown.

Robert Altman made this film at the start of his career, while making industrial films in Kansas City. It is no surprise to find Altman making a film like this one, since in1943 Altman joined the United States Army Air Forces at the age of 18. During World War II, Altman flew more than 50 bombing missions as a crewman on a B-24 Liberator with the 307th Bomb Group in Borneo and the Dutch East Indies. 

Having enjoyed a little success in Los Angeles and New York City as a writer after the war, in 1949 Altman returned to his hoem town of Kansas City, where he accepted a job as a director and writer of industrial films for the Calvin Company.  Altman directed some 65 industrial films and documentaries before being hired by a local businessman in 1956 to wri...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ac894400-3e12-49d8-bb8d-acec4aaec13f/e9a1ca61-bfbf-4fd1-bf36-4126c2e7d170-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/niHHDBABo93bnXdkkaPd18</video:player_loc><video:duration>1635</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:48:00.006Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/23b2uXk16X4S8UYqnLpiqw</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a7e5839c-2777-49f0-88b9-9e8aec07d948.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SOVIET OIL &amp; NATURAL GAS EXPLORATION  SILENT FILM  KHARKIV UKRAINE  48804</video:title><video:description>This silent educational film dates to the 1960s and shows efforts by the Soviet government to develop oil and gas fields in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

The film begins with some of the last footage of Hitler shot before the assassination attempt, and shows him visiting injured staff in the hospital after the incident. At :51, Hitler is seen visiting with Mussolini. At 1:19, the public trial of the plotters is seen. At 3:00, footage of the concentration camps are seen, with the mass murder of Jews and other political and social undesirables. An incinerator full of bodies is seen at 3:28. At 3:43, Hitler's 55th birthday celebration is seen, while Russian, British, American and Allied forces are closing in on Germany. At 4:18 Hitler's last gambit, the Battle of the Bulge, is shown. At 4:55, footage is seen of Hitler with Eva Braun in the bunker. At 5:17, the Red Army is seen pushing into Berlin. At 6:21, the shattered Chancellery building is seen along with a re-enactment of the discovery of the pit where Hitler and Braun's bodies were burned. 

On 20 July 1944, Claus von Stauffenberg and other conspirators attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Führer of Nazi Germany, inside his Wolf's Lair field headquarters near Rastenburg, East Prussia. The name Operation Valkyrie, originally referring to part of the conspiracy, has become associated with the entire event. The apparent purpose of the assassination attempt was to seize political control of Germany and its armed forces from the Nazi Party (including the SS) and to make peace with the western Allies as soon as possible. The underlying desire of many of the involved high-ranking Wehrmacht officers was apparently to show to the world that not all Germans were like Hitler and the Nazi Party. The details of the conspirators' peace initiatives remain unknown, but they likely would have included demands to accept wide-reaching territorial annexations by Germany in Europe.

The Communist International, abbreviated as Comintern and also known as the Third International, was an international communist organization that advocated world communism.

Narrator: "In 1919, Russia hosted the third Communist International. Listen to Lenin speak about it.  ‘In March of this year of 1919, an international congress of Communists was held in Moscow. This congress founded the Third, Communist International, an association of the workers of the whole world who are striving to establish Soviet power in all countries.’ (00.48)
Vladimir Lenin managed the work of the first Congress. Communists from several countries visited it. A Swiss communist, Fritz Platten, is sitting next to Lenin. On his other side are German delegates, Eberlein and Klinger. (01.03) ‘The First International, founded by Marx, existed from 1864 to 1872. The defeat of the heroic workers of Paris-of the celebrated Paris Commune-marked the end of this International. (01.38) The second Congress became a political school for revolutionary workers from all over the world, a school of strategy, tactics, and organization of the Communist movement. (02.02) Representatives of 41 countries were present, including John Reed, an American communist, Marcel Cachin from France, a German communist, Clara Zetkin. They came to determine the communists’ goals of the proletarian revolution together with Lenin, to think of the ways to win over the majority of the population. Lenin taught how to fight in various ways.  (02.54) 
The languages of East and West merged in the oath made on the Field of Mars, where Saint Petersburg buried the fighters who perished during the days of the Revolution. (03.12) The Congress called the workers of all countries to stand for the protection of socialist Russia. (03.44) The beginning of 1921 was hard. Thousands of factories in the country were idle. The working class population was...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/611cefba-4869-47f1-8f4a-a2245be045d2/213aadb0-7593-4a59-a917-472230131083-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cZwRGS3WUohfTBN3vu66B9</video:player_loc><video:duration>510</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:49:42.206Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Communist International</video:tag><video:tag>Comintern</video:tag><video:tag>Vladimir Lenin</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/daPXKEiLxczrjuhhPL6cmX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/889f3af5-c9cd-4909-9d9e-ec5474966a4e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SOVIET RED ARMY KALASHNIKOV RIFLE &amp; MACHINE GUN  AK-47 TRAINING &amp; INDOCTRINATION FILM 88974</video:title><video:description>This Soviet film, made for the indoctrination of Red Army infantry troops, highlights many aspects of marksmanship including the use of the standard issue Kalashnikov rifle AK-47, small arms, and the Kalashnikov machine gun.

Narration: We’ve been doing marksmanship training for many days now. It is difficult. But as Suvorov said, “What is difficult in training will become easy in a battle.” (01.00) The Kalashnikov assault rifle is the powerful and reliable service rifle of the Soviet military. The Kalashnikov works smoothly in any conditions: under the pouring rain, in cold temperatures, in dust. (03.12) Operational characteristics of the rifle: the maximum bullet range is 3,000 m; the casualty producing effect is preserved for up to 1,500 m; the aiming range is 1,000m; the maximum effective range is 400m; a bullet pierces through a brick wall of up to 15 cm; the rate of fire is up to 600 shots a minute; the effective rate of burst fire is up to 100 shots a minute; the effective rate of fire at single-shot fire is up to 40 shots a minute. (03.58) The main parts of the rifle are the barrel with a receiver, a sight, and a stock. (04.20) Other parts are a receiver cover, a breechblock carrier with a breech plug, a breechblock, a recoil spring, a forearm with gas tube assembly, a trigger and firing mechanism, a foregrip, a magazine, a bayonet knife. (04.46)  During the battle, a soldier must know the firing techniques. Here are a few of them: firing from a prone position (06.05), from a kneeling position (07.15), from a standing position (07.35). I remember it from school. ‘You’re closing the wrong eye! Don’t breathe when you’re pulling the trigger!’ (09.37) The Kalashnikov hand-held machine gun is the most powerful squad automatic weapon. (12.26) Most of its parts are shared with the modernized variant of the AK-47 rifle. . There are three stages of fire: getting into the position, firing, and ceasing fire. This is the instruction for firing from a prone position. ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/628cea3e-f5d8-42b0-b2a5-c91fd3980733/8c061cda-f8f5-4b30-8b22-4fcc29c76be2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/daPXKEiLxczrjuhhPL6cmX</video:player_loc><video:duration>1728</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:54:13.072Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Kalashnikov rifle</video:tag><video:tag>Ak-47</video:tag><video:tag>Red Army training</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bRarenH16yjzHegwYyH4xK</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/16d1251c-81be-416f-bb45-c33d8c91a5ab.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CHESTERFIELD CIGARETTES IN WORLD WAR II   TOBACCOLAND AT WAR  INDUSTRIAL FILM 50574</video:title><video:description>Chesterfield Cigarettes presents “Tobaccoland USA at War,” a black-and-white circa 1943 “new kind of pictorial adventure” examining tobacco production in such states as Tennessee, Virginia, and the Carolinas — areas that have made “Chesterfield synonymous with American smoking pleasure.” We visit the offices of Liggett &amp; Myers Tobacco, Inc. (Chesterfield’s parent company) in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina starting at mark 01:04 and view production lines and tobacco fields, meeting some of the “fine families” who grow the product. We watch as families work together in the fields (mark 02:25) and later processed. There’s a look inside a farm’s curing barn starting at mark 03:21where the product is later sold at auction — a process shown starting at mark 04:40. The film continues as the plant undergoes a “new” and “scientific” process, shown starting at mark 06:37, which restores to the tobacco leaves the precise amount of moisture needed for a perfect flavor. Eventually, the final product — Chesterfield cigarettes — roll off an assembly line at mark 08:44. 

Released during World War II, the promotional film makes note that Chesterfield cigarettes are enjoyed by “fighting men” around the world and is “one of the few comforts” of home as we see a filmed scene of soldiers in a bunker pausing for a smoke (mark 09:25). Starting at mark 09:55 the film visits “the fighting fronts” and a group of US Marines in combat at land and at sea, followed by scenes aboard a US Coast Guard vessel (mark 11:23) and US Navy ship (mark 12:27), as well as the Merchant Marines. Through various battle scenes, the narrator reminds the viewer that American servicemen gain its strength not only from its weaponry but also from support from the home front. As scenes from the Army Air Force fill the screen starting at mark 14:56, the narrator says that “with each pounding the enemy is weakened” And while fathers and sons are away from home, families at home continue to tend to the farms — and th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/57d8a557-2df0-4804-ae25-45bd7bb06005/24374643-9197-4aaf-950d-8d357ceddce1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bRarenH16yjzHegwYyH4xK</video:player_loc><video:duration>1034</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:54:29.437Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/45FHaJVm6scLhiMXMSm8tA</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/94b3157b-3eff-4b86-b222-25e420b08c0b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>AIRPORT IN THE JET AGE   LAX WORLD AIRPORT   1960s EDUCATIONAL FILM 48914</video:title><video:description>“Airport in the Jet Age” is a 1960s color film that explores a large metropolitan jet airport, primarily featuring United DC-8 Jet Mainliners. While not an exceptional film by any means, it is notable for containing views of LAX World Airport when it was brand new, relatively small (compared to today's version) and still used isolated terminals and with the "theme building" standing alone at its core.

The film opens with a comparison of a book with an airport and how both can take people to places they’ve never been. So begins the journey of a boy in a business suit boarding a helicopter (mark 01:06) for his “taxi ride” to the airport, flying over the city and its traffic jams before arriving the terminal. We take a look inside (mark 02:13) as the boy checks in with the ticket agent  and hands over his luggage. Safely aboard his United Airlines flight (mark 04:28) the film retraces each step in the process, showing the viewer what happens to check baggage (starting at mark 04:52), how the aircraft is fueled (mark 05:45), and how meals are prepared and loaded onboard a plane. We learn how weather conditions are verified (mark 07:30) and how that information is relayed to pilots. With all of the baggage and passengers onboard the film switches to the control tower (mark 09:12) — the “traffic policeman” who give jets the okay for takeoff. 

The Theme Building is an iconic landmark structure at the Los Angeles International Airport within the Westchester neighborhood of the city of Los Angeles. It was dedicated on June 25, 1961, by the then US Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson, and it is an example of the Mid-Century modern influenced design school known as "Googie" or "Populuxe." The distinctive white building resembles a flying saucer that has landed on its four legs. It was designed by a team of architects and engineers headed by William Pereira and Charles Luckman, that also included Paul Williams and Welton Becket. The initial design of the building was created ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/18f2dcf3-623b-4273-93e4-65036796d0dc/014fd2e6-7ffd-4fdf-bfd6-fc0b8723cac2-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/45FHaJVm6scLhiMXMSm8tA</video:player_loc><video:duration>683</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T16:54:47.032Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2eTTD2RKrj9yGx47s8VDYY</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e70bc174-8864-435d-8ca2-5c7e964f1c9b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" WHEELS ACROSS AFRICA " 1936 ARMAND DENIS  EXPEDITION  DODGE AUTOMOBILES  (LONG VERSION)  43744</video:title><video:description>“Wheels Across Africa” is an expedition documentary by Belgian-born filmmaker Armand Denis about a trip across Africa in Dodge trucks circa 1936. The black-and-white promotional documentary, presented by the Dodge Dealers of America, focuses on Denis and his wife Leila Roosevelt Denis (a cousin of Theodore Roosevelt) as they take an 18-month journey through the Belgian Congo and the Sahara Desert on motor driven Dodge vehicles. 

It takes the viewer quickly through Belgium, France, and Spain, across the Straits of Gibraltar to the African continent (mark 01:55) and the town of Moulay Idriss (mark 02:10) during an annual festival and the camera captures fire dancers, glass eaters, and other “entertainers” who come from throughout Morocco. There are scenes from a traditional sheep marketplace (mark 04:19), rug makers, and tailors. Crossing the frozen Atlas Mountains at mark 06:37, the expedition makes its way into the adjoining valley before entering the Sahara at mark 08:45. From there the viewer journeys to an oasis and scenes of a garrison of French colonial troops storming past on horseback (mark 13:00) before the expedition heads into the desert (mark 14:02), encountering sandstorms before successfully stopping for supplies at an outpost. By mark 19:30, as their desert journey continues, the convoy encounters nomadic Tuareg travelers at a well who share their water and perform traditional dances, all of which is captured on film. 

As the film continues, the viewer is taken into unspoiled Africa to introduce you to a variety of primitive tribes (starting at mark 28:26) and scenes of men and women with their traditional tattoos made by scarring the skin, followed by scenes of even more traditional dances. Passing the Dungu River (mark 24:00) we see undisturbed wildlife including hippos and crocodile and cross the river on elephant (mark 37:45) — with the animals used to help pull their Dodge trucks through the muddy river water.

The documentary traces the remarkable transformation of Johannesburg from a barren wilderness into a thriving modern city over 60 years, sparked by the 1884 discovery of gold near a waterfall that inspired its name. What began as a modest mining camp quickly evolved into a bustling boomtown, attracting prospectors and settlers eager to reap fortunes. By the early 20th century, Johannesburg had developed solid infrastructure, including public buildings, health services, parks, and cultural institutions, reflecting its permanence and prosperity. The city's growth was carefully managed to improve living conditions and civic amenities for all races, including the establishment of native townships and educational facilities. Modern mining, transportation systems, and municipal services supported its booming economy, centered on gold production. The city’s progress and vision were celebrated as a testament to human endeavor, foresight, and community spirit, shaping Johannesburg into a dynamic urban center with a rich cultural and social life.

Susanna” before the narrator explains how man has long been driven by the desire to find hidden gold. Such efforts have often changed then course of history, with the discovery of California gold in 1849 altering the West. Wealth is not only hidden in the ground, explains the narrator, but also in unused potions of material in the workplace. “Unfortunately we do not always think of the time and money that can be saved through the careful handling of apparatus and material when we handle them,” says the narrator at mark 02:45. Numerous scenes of phone parts being tossed into scrap or recycling barrels fill the screen as the narrator explains how such actions equate to misuse. Boxes of supplies are shown in the back of a truck at mark 04:00. At a return center, workers untangle   coils of wire while others remove carefully wound wire. Proper care makes the job easier, explains the narrator. “There is real savings in the return of apparatus and material,” he says at mark 06:06, but carelessness in packing that material can sometimes render it useless. Smaller returned pieces are dumped into a sorter at mark 07:30, separated, and sent to a conveyor belt where newer pieces are returned to a stockroom and damaged ones sent out for repair. Scrap pieces or unrepairable parts are sent to a smelting plant (mark 08:35) where they are further sorted and shoveled into furnaces. Molten copper is poured from ladles at mark 10:00 and the “hidden gold” repurposed. The film continues by showing various pieces can be fixed and reused. Elsewhere, reused phone cords are cleaned (mark 14:08) and tested before being returned to the field. “Unfortunately we do not always realize that one return must be multiplied by thousands … which can mean thousands of dollars in savings in the end,” says the narrator at mark 17:07.

“DeWalt Saws In The War Program” is a World War II era black-and-white promotional film touting the use of the power tools to combat Axis forces. A scroll beginning at mark 00:35 explains how the United States “is creating the most efficient and finest Army and Navy personnel, equipping them with the best ships, planes, tanks, and guns of history.” Such objectives require the quick construction of training bases — leading the DeWalt company to develop new machines to meet the need. Several minutes of the film are dedicated to detailing the types of saws and their methods of operation. The design and speed of DeWalt saws quickens the process, the narrator reminds us at mark 04:38, “hour after hour, cut after cut, each as accurate as the first.” The film continues as the cutting process is painstakingly described. We see how saw blades are cared for and filed (mark 10:24) before returning to a lengthy parade of construction scenes of the barracks. DeWalt products are also used to create drill halls (mark 21:45) and to cut lumber used in the construction of the Lake Washington Floating Bridge (also known as the Lacey V. Murrow Memorial Bridge), and shipyard construction in Puget Sound. “The world will know that here was a machine that in its humble way, but in no small way, had helped in final victory,” the narrator concludes.

DeWalt (trademarked as DᴇWALT) is an American worldwide brand of power tools and hand tools for the construction, manufacturing and woodworking industries. It is a subsidiary of Stanley Black &amp; Decker.

The original company was started in 1924 by Raymond E. DeWalt, the inventor of the radial arm saw. The company grew quickly and was reorganized and re-incorporated in 1947 as DeWalt Inc.

After buying the company in 1949, American Machine &amp; Foundry Co., Inc. sold it to Black &amp; Decker in 1960.

The Lockheed NF-104A was an American mixed power, high-performance, supersonic aerospace trainer that served as a low-cost astronaut training vehicle for the North American X-15 and projected Boeing X-20 Dyna-Soar programs. An NF 104A Starfighter is shown landing at mark 00:33 as the narrator explains how that aircraft was reconfigured and resigned into an aerospace trainer. We see images from wind tunnel tests starting at mark 01:33 with speeds up to Mach 2.4. At Edwards Air Force, test pilots are shown discussing the aircraft beginning at mark 02:10 in preparation for eventual flights of the aerospace trainer.  The film continues with the narrator providing detailed, additional facts regarding external and internal modifications of the aircraft. The trainer is shown undergoing a multi-phase inspection of the cockpit starting at mark 06:37, as well as tests of the rocket engines (mark 07:42).

The Lockheed F-104 Starfighter was a single-engine, supersonic interceptor aircraft originally developed by Lockheed for the United States Air Force (USAF). One of the Century Series of fighter aircraft, it was operated by the air forces of more than a dozen nations from 1958 to 2004. Its design team was led by Kelly Johnson, who went on to lead or contribute to the development of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird and other Lockheed aircraft.

Three aircraft were modified from existing Lockheed F-104A airframes, and served with the Aerospace Research Pilots School between 1963 and 1971, the modifications included a small supplementary rocket engine and a reaction control system for flight in the upper atmosphere. During the test program, the maximum altitude reached was more than 120,000 feet (36,600 m). One of the aircraft was destroyed in an accident while being flown by Chuck Yeager. The accident was depicted in the book The Right Stuff and the film of the same name.

This is a film record created by Leon Shamroy and Tom White of the Ellsworth Huntington Expedition. Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947) was a well-known Yale geography professor who led a series of expeditions to various parts of the world including the Middle East. At some point in the late 1930s, he he led an expedition to Siam, present-day Thailand, and this film was released in 1937-38 in the USA. The film is notable for showing pre-WWII Thailand, its capitol Bangkok, and its people.  

The film explores various facets of Siam (modern-day Thailand), beginning with the revered white elephants considered sacred and royal possessions. It highlights cultural traditions such as the unique history behind Siamese women’s bobbed hair and the customary chewing of betel nut. Traditional sports like stick fighting and fish fighting are showcased, alongside Siamese boxing, which involves ritual prayers and rigorous training. The film also introduces the Rockefeller Institute’s snake park, where venom is harvested to create life-saving antivenom. Demonstrations of the mongoose’s skill in combating snakes emphasize local wildlife knowledge. The narrative shifts to modern Siam, depicting bustling markets, luxurious yachts, and a welcoming, prosperous society with modern infrastructure. It concludes by honoring the nation’s respectful monarchy and peaceful people, who live according to Buddhist principles enriched by vibrant social customs.

The Snark was deployed by the United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command from 1958 through 1961. It represented an important step in weapons technology during the Cold War. The Snark took its name from the author Lewis Carroll's character the "snark".

The Snark missile was developed to present a nuclear deterrent to the Soviet Union and other potential enemies at a time when Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) were still in development. The Snark was the only surface-to-surface cruise missile with such a long range that was ever deployed by the U.S. Air Force. Following the deployment of ICBMs, the Snark was rendered obsolete, and it was removed from deployment in 1961.

The film begins at mark 0:30 as a missile is launched. At mark 0:54 it is revealed to be the Snark, the U.S. Air Force's first intercontinental ballistic missile. The bird's guidance system is automatic and cannot be jammed. At mark 01:25, the air forces are seen here in  a meeting. At mark 1:45, designs of the aerodynamic aircraft is been worked upon. This design is required to meet the high range specifications. At mark 2:00, is the room where all ongoing activities are strictly classified. At mark 2:14, a simple semi-automatic system is seen and tested in a mark e-61 aircraft. At mark 2:22, a radar station is seen. This is where operations of the aircraft is monitored.

Made in the 1950s (or possibly the late 1940s) by Ciba Pharmaceutical Products with the co-operation of the U.S. Air Force and the University of Chicago Medical Center, this film shows the use of Nupercaine (a form of dibucaine) spinal anesthetic in the vaginal delivery of triplets. At the time this type of spinal anesthesia (now commonplace) was fairly new. The first use of similar continuous caudal anesthesia in a laboring woman was on January 6, 1942, when the wife of a United States Coast Guard sailor was brought into the Marine Hospital for an emergency Caesarean section. Because the woman suffered from rheumatic heart disease (heart failure following an episode of rheumatic fever during childhood), her doctors believed that she would not survive the stress of labor but they also felt that she would not tolerate general anesthesia due to her heart failure. With the use of continuous caudal anesthesia, the woman and her baby survived. The first described placement of a lumbar epidural catheter was performed by Pío Manuel María Martínez Curbelo (5 June 1906–1 May 1962) on January 13, 1947.

The film begins with a picture of normal childbirth. At mark 1:15, is a picture of the internal organs involved in pregnancy stage for a mother carrying triplets. The sensory nerves, the uterus are talked about at mark 1:40. At mark 2:00, is a picture of the anesthetic involvement. At mark 2:44 is the spine. Spinal needle s are seen at mark 2:58. Spinal puncture is seen at mark 3:40. The anesthetic solution is given. At mark 4:48, the solution is given to the patient slowly. Improper speed of injection results to unsatisfactory anesthesia.  Clinical studies demonstrate that first blocking the somatic and autonomic component of the central nerves abolishes pain impulses from the cervix, vagina and portions of the bladder and rectum.

At mark 1:00, a scientist in a laboratory begins a discussion about cigarette smoking with two lab assistants. The scientist shows a series of images from cigarette ads, directed at selling cigarettes. He also shows (mark 1:30) more than 13 gallons of smoke that come from a single pack of cigarettes, contained in the flask. He asks the question, "Why do people start smoking?"  Both lab assistants say that it made them more adult. 

At mark 2:38, they watch TV commercial excerpts that show adults smoking. At mark 3:20, the scientist points out that most people continue smoking because they do not reason on what effect it has on them. The facts about smoking are easy to understand. 

At mark 3:34, he carries out a test on a goldfish. Smoke is passed to the goldfish and its effects are seen at mark 4:30. It made it dizzy as it is on human. At mark 5:20, a mouse is tested on. The Roswell Park Memorial Institute, one of the top cancer research institutes in the USA, is seen at mark 5:20. At mark 5:35, the mice are marked. At mark 5:44, the smoking affects the lungs of the mice after a few weeks upon testing. The mice then die. At mark 6:05, he gives joe a cigarette test by smoking through a tissue. At mark 7:00, the both tissues are seen with one containing more tar than the other. He comments on lungs been painted with tars due to the inhaled smoke. At mark 7:28 is another way smoking affects the body. At mark 7:50 is a pressure gauge which shows how the body pressure alters with smoking. At mark 7:58, the pressure gauge is turned on and it measures 2 for normal body. In a smoker’s body, the pressure reads 8. At mark 8:36, he talks on consequences of smoking. At mark 9:00, more smokers die of heart attacks than non-smokers.

At mark 9:30, he talks on emphysema.

The expendable sonobuoy was developed during World War II in response to the devastating destruction of Allied shipping in the Atlantic caused by German U-boats. The simple radio-linked listening device, thrown out of an aircraft, proved revolutionary. The indicator is shown at mark 01:18 as the narrator explains its operation and types, including the Range-Only Echo-Ranging AN/SSQ-15, the Directional Listening AN/SSQ-20, and the Non-Directional Listening AN/SSQ-2-b Type, as the trio are illustrated on the screen. Subsequent illustrations show exactly how the equipment works in painstaking detail, with each type of sonobuoy discussed starting at mark 03:54 with the Range-Only Echo-Ranging sonobuoy. As the film rolls on the narrator continues to explain various operations including how issues such as using two types of sonobuoys — such as the Range-Only Echo-Ranging AN/SSQ-15 and the Directional Listening AN/SSQ-20 — are used in tandem. The Non-Directional Listening sonobuoy is address starting at mark 14:19. “Your ability to properly operate the equipment in the Sonobuoy Indicator Group may mean the difference between an unsuccessful or a successful ASW mission,” the narrator says as the film comes to an end.

A sonobuoy (a portmanteau of sonar and buoy) is a relatively small buoy (typically 13 cm or 5 in, in diameter and 91 cm or 3 ft long) expendable sonar system that is dropped/ejected from aircraft or ships conducting anti-submarine warfare or underwater acoustic research. The buoys are ejected from aircraft in canisters and deploy upon water impact. An inflatable surface float with a radio transmitter remains on the surface for communication with the aircraft, while one or more hydrophone sensors and stabilizing equipment descend below the surface to a selected depth that is variable, depending on environmental conditions and the search pattern.

EISENHOWER 1945 VICTORY TOUR AND HOMECOMING TO ABILENE   85374</video:title><video:description>This historic, silent newsreel was made for the home market (a sound version would have been shown in theaters) shows the victory tour of Allied Supreme Commander Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower in the aftermath of V-E Day, May 8, 1945. Ike made a series of triumphant visits to London (57 seconds), Paris (1:50), Washington, D.C.(2:27) where he was re-united with his wife Mamie, New York (4:00) including Yankee Stadium (6:27), West Point (6:50), Kansas City (7:44) and finally (8:58) on June 22, 1945 Eisenhower returned to his hometown of Abilene, Kansas. The parade included members of the 1909 local high school football team (9:27) which Ike had served as running back. Eisenhower did not have much time to dilly-dally in the USA, as in November 1945, Eisenhower returned to Washington to replace Marshall as Chief of Staff of the Army. His main role at that time was rapid demobilization of millions of soldiers in the European Theater and later in Asia and around the world.

The film shows various accident scenarios in city traffic, using the story of a boy named Henry to show how improper riding techniques can endanger pedestrians, riders and drivers.

The film begins with a barker narrating a story about a bicycle rider who is named Henry. At mark 0:42, Henry is seen with his father at a bicycle shop and they test the brake and other functions of the bike. He nods his head that he is prepared to be the buyer. Now Henry’s face lights up with joy. At mark 1:00, he carries the bike and placed it on the road and start to ride. Henry sails along till he meets Jim and Bill at mark 1:30 and they all headed for a nasty spill. At mark 1:50, they do a silly trick, and all hold each other’s arms and keep riding. At mark 2:00, the boys fall off their bikes with wheels spinning. Henry sees his bike on the ground and stands up to pick it up. At mark 2:20, they went on riding. 

They kept on biking recklessly. At mark 2:54, Henry crashes into a vegetable seller. At mark 3:10, he rides with a friend at the back. At mark  3:43, he kept on riding his bike recklessly not caring for pedestrians. At mark 3:50, he drove thru a traffic light without regarding the signs and is about to crash into an old couple. At mark 4:10, Henry didn’t read signs to halt and collided with a bus and his bike is damaged. The passengers came around him and all faces were grim up as they mentioned his name. at mark 5:00, he is seen at the court as he is juried by the judge. The battered cycle lies on the table. At mark 5:30, the witnesses are called on to testify against him. The driver also talks at mark 6:10. At mark 6:25, Henry testifies. At mark 6:40, the judge says the blame lies with Henry and the verdict is spoken at mark 7:35. He is guilty and was asked not to ride for two long years -- now he will have to walk...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a22ee8d3-2bd5-4b8c-8b87-153b3ab65c36/0fd2a9f1-5454-461c-a7eb-0db21fbf6356-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/m2z6e7M8Fe7Xx4bTW9V6Ry</video:player_loc><video:duration>485</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T17:15:47.561Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qbpo9oGAYfj6pA8W8xhHEv</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/525a220f-4d78-4daf-86b8-a96afda9375e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>TRANS WORLD AIRLINES  SKYLINE NEW YORK  1955 BIG APPLE PROMOTIONAL FILM 26614</video:title><video:description>“Skyline New York” is a circa 1955 TWA travel film encouraging vacationers to visit the Big Apple. Produced by Dudley Pictures Corporation, the color picture offers a tour of New York City in late 1954 as two teenage girls travel to NYC on vacation aboard a TWA Lockheed Constellation. “You can fly coast to coast in only eight hours!” one of the girls tells her parents at mark 01:56. They fly over the Grand Canyon (mark 03:25) and enjoy a massive lunch before flying over Manhattan (mark 04:20) and landing at Idlewild International Airport at mark 04:40. (The airport was renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport following the president’s assassination). On a boat ride around Manhattan the girls see the city’s waterfront and the Statue of Liberty at mark 06:15 before stopping at Castle Clinton in Battery Park and visiting the New York Stock Exchange and Wall Street (mark 07:11). Passing beneath the Brooklyn Bridge and past the United Nations (mark 08:10), the film takes us inside and we learn of the General Assembly before continuing the trip on the Hudson River and passing under the George Washington Bridge. Other stops include Midtown (mark 09:51) and 5th Avenue with visits to various stores including Tiffany &amp; Company (mark 11:26). At mark 12:03 we see the famed bronze Atlas statue in front of Rockefeller Center and hit the top of the RCA Building before seeing the Empire State Building at mark 14:45 as it rises more than 1,400 feet above the ground. St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the gothic design of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine Church are next, followed by Coney Island at mark 16:15 (including a ride on the Cyclone rollercoaster). They visit Central Park, the zoo, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (mark 20:20) as the camera shows some of the paintings and other artwork on display at the Met. The camera captures the action at Radio City Music Hall (mark 21:25), Yankee Stadium (mark 21:39), and Belmont Park.

The color educational film, produced in conjunction with the US Departments of War and Interior and the Association of American Railroads (AAR), gives an overview of the history and operation of railroads in the United States. (The AAR is an industry trade group representing primarily the major freight railroads of North America that works to improve the efficiency, safety and service of the railroad industry.) A steam locomotive engine chugs along at mark 01:15 followed by a swift passenger train before the narrator explains life among early settlers, who were forced to travel by foot or with a animal power. News of a railroad was met with opposition at first, as a re-enacted scene plays out starting near mark 03:00. “Folks were never meant to go that fast,” one character laments. But those folks soon forgot their fears, and by the mid-1800s railroads became an integral part of the United States as “steel ribbons brought life to the open plains.” The film stresses the important role railroads play in the Great Lakes regions as steel ore is shown being loaded into train cars (mark 04:30), as well as its importance to the steel industry in the upper Midwest and East Coast (mark 06:00). Trains also are used as troop transports (mark 06:38) as companies of men are shown marking along tracks to awaiting cars, as well as transporting everything from cattle to coal across the country.There are numerous scenes from a railroad yard starting at mark 09:48 as the film shows operations and behind-the-scenes” action the general public was not normally able to view. By mark 13:25, the viewer is shown how whether it is a sandstorm, flood, or snowstorm that the rails almost always remain open. It is also explained (starting at mark 16:10) how the implementation of time zones across the US aided travel. As it moves on, the film fills the screen with scenic images from across the country whi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/cf40ca39-172b-493a-b2ce-71a6e5a58b67/e8eea921-5649-485c-a7b3-51f0567bfe6f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rAn9NC72ZrrivPK5sZ6X7X</video:player_loc><video:duration>1365</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T17:23:56.749Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8iS7CUYVQp3TgfAZnZ3DTi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/31b92567-7973-48dc-bfb3-233247fe3ad1.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>P&amp;O CRUISE LINE PROMOTIONAL FILM  "A CITY GONE TO SEA"  SPIRIT OF LONDON  40214</video:title><video:description>“A City, Gone to Sea,” is a circa 1972 film discussing the cruise ship Spirit of London. (At the time the vessel was being operated by P&amp;O Cruises). At mark 00:24, Pulitzer Prize-winning travel writer Stanton Delaplane (who is credited with introducing Irish coffee to the United States) is introduced as the narrator with an explanation that he would be sharing some of the things he saw and wrote about while on a cruise. British cruise ships, Delaplane explains, are all about service, and at mark 01:36 the film introduces cruise director Brian Langston-Carter, who endorses that idea as the camera pans the faces of happy travelers. There are scenes of exercise classes aboard this “floating city” followed by a seemingly endless buffet (mark 04:23). Delaplane explains (starting at mark 05:00) how passengers typically fall into different categories during a cruise, including “walkers,” “dressers,” “swimmers,” and “eaters.” A series of scenes follows with men and women playing cards, swimming, and playing shuffleboard. or spending time in a salon, sauna, or on a massage table. There are scenes from ports of call including Mexico (mark 08:00) and cocktail parties back onboard (mark 11:00) where “you’ve invited the people you like and you’ve snubbed the people you don’t like,”  as well as formal dinners. Nighttime entertainment follows as the film captures onboard entertainers starting at mark 12:55. A young passenger explains what she likes best about the cruise at mark 17:50 followed by more several more scenes of shuffleboard, snacks, swimming, and sunbathing. “For some reason the British have gotten a reputation for being a stuffy race,” Captain Gerald McGowan states at mark 25:05. “I don’t think this is true. In recent years London has acquired a reputation as a swinging city and  we’ve got a swinging city right here.”

Spirit of London was an Italian built cruise ship put into service in 1972.

The phrase was created in 1936 by Elmer Wheeler, and it’s Wheeler (who was well-known as one of the pioneers of persuasion and persuasive writing) who’s the star of this film. Wheeler asks the viewer (starting at mark 03:20) what makes people buy. “The sizzle,” he explains, and outlines various sales techniques starting with “Don’t sell the steak; sell the sizzle” at mark 05:33 — or finding the “it” factor that will make a client want to purchase a product with several scenes illustrating the point. At mark 08:30 he emphasizes “Don’t write; telegraph” — meaning that the first 10 words in a sales pitch are more important than any other. Point three (mark 11:11) is “Say it with flowers,” as Wheeler explains “it’s as much what you do in front of people as what you say,” such as your posture and how you physically hold and present your product. The film continues with various examples of such showmanship until mark 13:43: “Don’t ask ‘if’; ask ‘which.’” “Always give people a choice between something and something, never between something and nothing,” Wheeler tells the camera. 

After watching examples of some successful (and unsuccessful) “signatures sizzles” beginning at mark 15:15, followed by the “right and the wrong way to quote price,” the film notes such techniques can also be used socially. “Never call the wife up and say ‘Darling what are you gonna do tonight? Can I get out of the house to play poker with the boys?” Wheeler illustrates at mark 16:55. “Call up and say “Darling, which night this week don’t you mind staying home alone? Tuesday or Wednesday? Whatever the answer, you’re still the winner.” He explains his final point starting at mark 17:23 — “Watch your bark. It’s as much how you say what...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/931bd8ee-9887-4c9f-af28-d430dac0ff17/0adcac65-06ca-4a4b-97cf-09f2f67a1673-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/jaB9hHgqRsNRbgMVdkPLGg</video:player_loc><video:duration>1914</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T17:31:46.435Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5WJdgQ8MLsPxtgibVpwdBc</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9bcbdc5d-82a7-420a-a88e-188fa96ba435.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"DESTINATION HONG KONG"  1960s BRITISH CROWN COLONY OF HONG KONG, CHINA TRAVELOGUE MOVIE 49784</video:title><video:description>The Hong Kong Tourist Association presents “Destination Hong Kong,” a 1960s color picture from Dudley Productions Limited.

It begins with a cold opening as a lieutenant colonel reviews WACs in formation as the narrator explains how we are all part of a team working together. The narrator explains, beginning at mark 01:32, how a relationship between a commanding officer and those in their outfit is similar to a teacher and student, with the young, enlisted personnel able to turn to a more experienced role model. In a flashback sequence starting at mark 02:40, the commander recalls when she joined the WACs in 1942 as black-and-white footage is shown and we learn about the organization’s beginnings and goal “not to fight of course but to free a man to fight.” The narrator briefly recounts the WAC history and how in 1943 the WACs officially became “a component of the United States Army, standing on our own two high heels.” Occasionally WACs came under fire with some of the women receiving the same recognition as their male counterparts, and at mark 03:54 we watch Lieutenant General Mark W. Clark pin a commendation on one of the women. WACs are shown marching in France following the end of World War II (mark 04:12) before returning to the film’s present day and a look at the roles WACs play in military offices and communication centers, or in medical or laboratory facilities. Many WACs also hold various communication positions (mark 07:55) and are given the opportunity to enroll in various classes “to advance themselves intellectually” (mark 08:43). The end credits roll over the sounds of the “Colonel Bogey March.”

The Women's Army Corps (WAC) was the women's branch of the United States Army. It was created as an auxiliary unit, the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) on 15 May 1942 by Public Law 554, and converted to full status as the WAC on 1 July 1943.

This historic propaganda film from the Soviet Union recounts the progress of the USSR in industry, including industrialization, electrification, and improvement in the standard of living of all Soviet peoples. 

Narrator: 
Lenin's idea of electrification remains the driving principle for all branches of the national economy, especially those that determine technological progress. First and foremost, metallurgy, the foundation of material production. Secondly, mechanical engineering, which is represented by more than a hundred specialized productions. And, finally, it is the all-mighty chemistry and its cheap and yet durable synthetic materials. (00.53) Many things depend on chemistry: the frequency of sowing, soil fertility, and consequently the solution to one of the most important tasks of this five-year plan, which is to increase the production of agricultural commodities, especially grain. (01.16)
Our country is creating the material basis for communism, which requires building new facilities. But where? In which districts? (01.40)
Take a look at the map, and you will know the answer. Siberia and the Far East are lands of endless natural riches. (02.23) There is an abundance of coal, gas, peat, and oil, as well as ferrous, nonferrous, precious, and rare metals. Their reserves would be enough even for the distant descendants of our great-grandchildren. (02.42) That is why the Party and the government decided to accelerate the speed of development of Siberia and the Far East. Existing enterprises will expand their capacities here, and many new ones will be built. (03.05)  A cultural revolution was the third step in Lenin’s plan of establishing socialism in our country. Thanks to the October events, the doors of museums and palaces are now wide open for the workers. The great appeal of the Party, ‘Art for the people!’, became reality. (03.47)

This Soviet newsreel recounts the long retreat of Soviet forces during the initial stages of Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the USSR beginning in the summer of 1941.A second part of the film can be seen here: https://youtu.be/2Uqs0jVxzjs

Narration:
Our soldiers displayed their heartfelt allegiance to the Motherland and determination to protect it at the cost of their lives by thwarting the attack of the enemy, whose forces were superior in strength. An incredibly difficult period in the life of our country began. (00.26) Residents of ravaged towns and villages were leaving for the east. The equipment of factories and plants was evacuated. As Lenin taught us, ‘If a war starts, everything should comply with its needs.’ (00.58) 
The Party devised a program of military restructuring of the country. ‘The treacherous attack by Fascist Germany against the Soviet Union is continuing. The goal of this attack is to destroy the Soviet system, to occupy Soviet lands, to enslave the peoples of the Soviet Union, to rob our country, to capture our bread and oil, to restore the rule of landholders and capitalists.’ (01.36)
The enemy had already stepped on Soviet soil, took over most of Lithuania, including the cities of Kaunas and Vilnius, occupied part of Latvia, the Brest, Vereiskaya, and Bialystok regions of the Soviet Belarus, and some districts of Western Ukraine. A few other districts were in immediate danger. The goal of the Bolsheviks was to rally the people around the Communist Party and the Soviet government, to selflessly support the Red Army and achieve victory. (02.32)  The Party sent 9,000 leading party workers to the front. Tens of thousands of Communists and Komsomol members went to war as political fighters. (03.13) New fighting units were being prepared for the front. The Leningrad Party organization introduced the initiative of forming a People's Mi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ced0073d-40e2-4cd2-9426-6e2a7c9c1ec4/4a66a4cd-c7a1-494b-beec-40bf7d346331-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rxdbjvXo9PyQKxZCXJTsmu</video:player_loc><video:duration>610</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T17:34:45.778Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nNcto9Z8Wgm2pEVnQYPGVa</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/2da45027-ac4f-465c-a54c-a252c82fa5b2.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BATTLE FOR LENINGRAD, MOSCOW  in WWII  SOVIET PROPAGANDA FILM 50504</video:title><video:description>This WWII Soviet propaganda film celebrates the heroic defense of Leningrad, Stalingrad and Moscow during 1942-1943 in WWII.

Narrator: 
A commander telegraphed that the selfless struggle of the fighters in Sevastopol was an example of heroism for all the Soviet army and nation. Sevastopol, a hero city, fought for eight months. (00.24)
At great cost, Hitler’s army came close to Leningrad, but it was stopped on the city's fringes. The Fascists decided to destroy the cradle of the revolution through shelling and bombing. (00.46) 
The city braced itself for a long siege. Battles were taking place next to operating factories. (01.15) The army and citizens united in the face of the siege. They were surviving deprivation and fighting the enemy together. (01.38) Following a decision of the Central Committee of the Party and the government, an Ice Road over Lake Ladoga was created, the Road of Life. (01.48) The enemy came close to Moscow despite the fearless resistance of our troops. 100,000 Communists and 260,000 Komsomol members went to battle from Moscow.  (03.02) Troops and ammunition were arriving from the hinterland to protect the capital. As always, on the Day of the October Revolution, there was a parade on Red Square. These words were spoken from the rostrum of the Mausoleum, ‘The enemy thought that our army would be dispersed after the very first strike. Our country was brought to its knees. But the enemy made a great miscalculation.’ (03.33) The troops left for the battle straight from the parade. 12,000 fighters submitted applications to be accepted into the party before the battle. Every fourth defender of Moscow was a communist. (04.00)  The enemy was pushed back. It was the first major defeat of Hitler's army in the Second World War. The idea of a blitzkrieg failed completely. (04.46)

Dating to the 1960s, this Soviet propaganda newsreel shows the strong bond between the USSR and Poland and looks at Lenin's life in Krakow in 1912.

Narrator:
Lenin. The Polish nation holds sacred the memory of the time when the great leader of the world’s laborers lived and worked on its land. It was 1912, the year of a new upsurge in the revolutionary movement in Russia. Lenin was abroad in Paris, and from there it was becoming increasingly difficult to monitor the works of the Russian party and the growing revolutionary movement of the workers and peasants. (01.50)  In June 1912, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya moved from Paris to Krakow. (02.03) Old Krakow appeared to be particularly quiet and peaceful compared to the bustling streets and boulevards of Paris. (02.18) Lenin and Krupskaya settled far from the city center, where simple wooden fences were bending towards the ground, where sun rays shone through the windows like in a village. This district was called Pulvsya (03.30)

This is Florchek’s house, where the new citizens of Krakow settled. The nerve center of the revolution moved to this house. (03.59)
During his stay in Poland, Lenin wrote 285 articles. Those articles were of great help to the Polish workers’ movement as well. (05.01) 
Lenin’s wife and associate, Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya, took up secretarial duties. The house mistress, Nadezhda Konstaninovna, came here almost daily. (06.02) In the following years, she often recalled the peculiarities of local life.  (06.25)
Krupskaya and Lenin observed the lives of Krakow craftsmen in this part of the city. Here, they were enjoying the architecture of old houses and picturesque galleries, which reminded Nadezhda Konstantinovna of the town where she had spent her childhood. (06.46) They admired the magnificent beauty of the Collegium Maius. Lenin signed up for Jagielloni...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ad813256-906c-41cd-ae6f-ffd9e09ce7f0/824ddf15-1f05-4611-b527-46d4c4dc30ce-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nqE2v8qMQUxwL7kjse747G</video:player_loc><video:duration>628</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T17:36:41.335Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/uPmAgt7t1NepTMMAAGao3v</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/65f5b14a-d17a-45a7-b17c-9ee3843f6555.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>" ONE OUNCE OF SAFETY"  HYTEST SAFETY SHOES   REASONS TO WEAR STEEL TOE SHOES  50344</video:title><video:description>Made by the International Shoe Company to promote its HyTest Safety Shoes brand, “One Ounce of Safety,” a 1940s black-and-white safety film produced “in the interests of foot safety.” Set in a steel plant, the film stresses the importance of safety shoes, and in one demonstration at mark 03:43 illustrates the point as the plant supervisor whacks his reinforced-tip shoe with a hammer. The point’s driven home when a metal rod falls on the foot of a worker at mark 04:26. Waking up in the hospital the man learns the accident caused him three of his toes — because of insufficient shoe safety. Back on the job the man realizes some of this co-workers walked with a similar limp — “all toe accidents” he says at mark 06:50 — just a few of the more than 60,000 similar injuries that take place annually. To prevent further injury the man heads to his company’s safety shoe store (mark 07:10) to purchase a pair of comfortable Hy-Test Safety Shoes. The film also points out the naysayer at the plant (mark 09:45), a man who thinks specialized safety shoes are unnecessary and too expensive. “Could you afford not to wear safety shoes?” the narrator asks at mark 11:04. The film continues as a safety shoes is deconstructed with an emphasis on the one-ounce steel tip (mark 12:33). To sway his co-worker’s, a plant employee lends his reluctant pal a pair of his safety shoes. Good thing as at mark 17:52 the man drops a heavy steel bar on his foot — only to be protected by his Hy-Test Safety Shoe.

HyTest brand remains in use to this day: http://www.hytest.com/ In addition to steel toe, Hytest's line today includes composite toe, metatarsal guard, and heat/oil resistant work boots.

The International Shoe Company formed in 1911 when two of St. Louis' largest shoe companies Roberts, Johnson &amp; Rand and Peters Shoe Company merged. World War II gave International Shoe a major opportunity, as it was the only shoe company large enough to bid for all the business of the U.S. Army. The company had...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e95c8779-ea59-49d9-984c-67bdcb3c22d1/6b11977f-e527-4c33-a0aa-4ffc2722f7a9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/uPmAgt7t1NepTMMAAGao3v</video:player_loc><video:duration>1169</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T17:39:09.347Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wgxLGNuwPywjHvw5cwpQf6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/df689873-1a95-446a-9851-7aae54b210f8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>BALTIMORE &amp; WASHINGTON D.C. on V-J DAY  END OF WWII HOME MOVIE 50754</video:title><video:description>Filmed in 1945, this silent, amateur 16mm home movie begins with images of the city of Baltimore on August 14, 1945, -- Victory in Japan or VJ Day. The May Company building is seen draped in flags, banners, and war bonds promotional signs. At :31, you can see the sign reading "Japan Now Beat Thanks" and at :37, flags are handed out. At 1:01, there is a shot of the Washington Monument and then a brief tour of the nation's capitol including the White House, as it appeared on or just after V-J Day. Surprisingly, the city and its monuments seem very empty. 

At 1:52, a few model planes are shown, and a woman happily poses with a large one one on her head. 

At 2:41, a large building resembling the Pentagon is seen, followed by what might be Washington National Airport. 

Family scenes take up the rest of the reel. At 6:27, a man in a military uniform gets a huge hug from his daughter -- and waves from the family. Possibly he is just home from the war, although his uniform does not appear to be military (anyone recognize it?) At 7:20, the ladies in the family pose for a shot. 

At 12:48, the film transitions to show a trip West to Reno, Nevada, downtown is seen at 14:28 including Harold's Club.  

At 17:43, Los Angeles is seen from Griffith Park. At 18:00, a woman poses from the Griffith Observatory. Downtown Hollywood is seen at 18:20 including Hollywood Blvd. and the Chinese Theater.

The track simulated pilot escape systems of high-speed aircraft and starting at mark 01:10 as we see a few aircraft being tested and “dummy pilots” being ejected. Crews were needed to build roads to the summit as well as create track, with scenes from these construction tasks unfolding on the screen as the film progresses. By mark 05:00, the film is ready to show some of the first SMART tests, with a rocket sled shown speeding down the runway at mark 07:35 and crews later recovering a test subject (“Hurricane Sam”) starting at mark 08:35. As the film continues, further tests are shown both at regular speed and in slow motion. Such experiments are a “must” of the United States Air Force, the narrator explains at mark 11:30, not only to maintain air superiority and combat effectiveness but also to save lives. 

The Hurricane Supersonic Research Site (HSRS) on Hurricane Mesa was a USAF launch complex with a rocket research track that launched a rocket ejection seat from a supersonic sled. The track's 12,000 ft (3,700 m) "of continuously welded, heavy-duty crane-rails aligned to within plus or minus one-tenth inch tolerance [was] the longest" in the US (cf. the shorter 1954 Holloman Rocket Sled) Coleman Engineering Company was contracted for $2 million in June 1954 and constructed the Supersonic Military Air Research Track (SMART), mechanical arresting gear (water brakes with 34 tons of force), retro rockets, and photographic/telemetering facilities. Coleman was also contracted for operations on November 30, 1955, and achieved a "world land speed record [using] a 9,400-pound sled rocketing down the track at 1,800 miles per hour."

The film provides a comprehensive overview of the Mississippi River, emphasizing its vast geographic reach, economic importance, and the extensive flood control efforts undertaken to manage its power. The river drains 31 states and two Canadian provinces, serving as a critical transportation route for goods and linking inland America to international ports. Historically prone to catastrophic flooding—most notably in 1927—the Mississippi prompted the U.S. Congress to pass the Flood Control Act of 1928, empowering the Army Corps of Engineers to design a comprehensive flood management system. This system includes thousands of miles of levees, dams, floodways, and revetments. Engineers use advanced techniques such as dredging, soil analysis, cut-offs, and concrete mattress installations to control the river’s flow and protect communities, farmland, and infrastructure. These efforts have transformed the river from a destructive force into a vital economic artery, fostering growth, safety, and prosperity throughout the valley.

10 seconds: twin boys in Swiss lederhosen outfits having fun in the backyard, and at :47 you will see their version of a roller coaster. At 1:02 they have transitioned to cowboy and Indian costumes for some backyard Wild West action! At 1:19 the young cowboy is killed.

The International Harvester Company in cooperation with the United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation presents “A Bridge to the Future,” the story of the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam, a concrete arch-gravity dam (mark 03:00) near the town of Page, Arizona. The 710-foot high dam was built from 1956 to 1966 and forms Lake Powell, one of the largest man-made reservoirs in the United States. Although the film begins with the 1959 opening of a bridge over Glen Canyon in Northern Arizona — one constructed on ancestral Navajo Indian land — a spectacular steel arch spanning the Colorado River “like a gleaming cathedral in the wilderness” (mark 02:18), the bridge was just part of a larger project. Respected NBC newscaster Chet Huntley serves as narrator, and he explains that the story of “winning America’s West” is essentially a tale of its dams. Without dams, he explains, water would never have found its way to the parched earth. The dam is the product of more than 35 years of planning by engineers, he explains at mark 04:45, with the camera zooming to a three-dimensional scale model at mark 05:26 and a discussion of the dam’s construction. The remote location presented a variety of problems, Huntley explains, first requiring the construction of a simple footbridge (mark 07:50). As the film continues, Huntley continues to explain the challenges and how they were overcome. Trucks are shown hauling away tons of rock blown from the canyon walls (mark 13:25), a process that took nearly two years. A tunnel constructed to relocate the path of the Colorado River nears completion in 1959, as is shown at mark 16:02. With a temporary dam in place (mark 21:50), the town of Page, which sprung up as a housing community for workers and their families during the construction, continued to grow as the film shows an aerial view of the community at mark 22:00 before visiting the town swimming pool, gr...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ca5a7284-dc66-4e05-a5d5-deb3ec362ff4/e5c08642-edd8-4640-97bc-6179b65db589-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/qZgMe3ymR37GJKuPA1YLQC</video:player_loc><video:duration>1637</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T17:48:23.445Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3ur5aqqNcZVW8QqDPY2TXi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/43e19931-f178-466f-91d0-f4106571d62b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"THE STORY OF ICE CREAM"  1940s DAIRY INDUSTRY FILM   PRODUCTION OF ICE CREAM &amp; BENEFITS   50704</video:title><video:description>Join this channel to get access to perks:

Made by De Frenes &amp; Co. for the dairy industry, this film (believed to be titled either "America's Favorite" or "The Story of Ice Cream" — but our print is missing the main title) brings insight into the health benefits of ice cream, “America’s favorite dairy food,” in this late 1940s / early 1950s-era color promotional film. The film opens in a school cafeteria as a table of happy children enjoy bowls of vanilla ice cream, knowing that it’s “tops in in taste.” But few people know of what is involved in making ice cream. This film highlights the nutritional value, production process, and widespread appeal of ice cream, America’s favorite dairy food. It begins by emphasizing ice cream's hidden health benefits, particularly its rich content of calcium, protein, and vitamins like A and riboflavin. The process starts at clean, modern dairy farms where milk is sourced from healthy cows, then tested, pasteurized, and homogenized at processing plants to ensure safety and texture. Natural flavorings like vanilla, fruits, and nuts not only enhance taste but also contribute essential nutrients. Ice cream is frozen, packaged, and distributed while maintaining strict sanitation standards. At home, it serves as both a treat and a nutritious part of meals. Compared to other desserts, it offers fewer calories and more essential nutrients. The film concludes by reinforcing ice cream’s unique ability to provide enjoyment, nourishment, and health benefits in one appealing product.

Dating to the 1970s and created by Shirley Cobham, this beautiful Pan Am travelogue film focuses on the islands of the Caribbean also called "the Eighth Continent", although excluding Cuba which was under embargo at the time. The film presents a poetic and historical portrait of the Caribbean, described as the “eighth continent” of sunlight, lush beauty, and cultural richness. From Columbus’s arrival in 1493 to the colonial struggles between European powers, the islands have evolved from battlegrounds and pirate havens into vibrant, diverse destinations. Each island reflects its colonial heritage—British Grenada with its genteel charm, U.S.-owned St. Thomas with echoes of piracy and a modern shopping paradise, Spanish-influenced Puerto Rico with its preserved culture and architecture, and Martinique with its French elegance and artistic legacy. Despite their varied pasts, all the islands share a relaxed pace of life, rich natural beauty, and a blend of cultures that offer visitors a unique, warm, and timeless experience.

0:00 – A poetic origin story describes the Caribbean islands as jewels dropped into the sea, forming a lush, eternal spring known as the "eighth continent."

This Ukranian-language newsreel shows the WWII era victory of the Soviet Army at Stalingrad, the Caucasus,  and Orel-Kursk Salient Battle which changed the course of the war. The film begins in 1943 with the Battle of the Dnieper River. Soviet troops began the liberation of Eastern Ukraine. 

The Battle of the Dnieper was a military campaign that took place in 1943 on the Eastern Front of World War II. It was one of the largest operations in World War II, involving almost 4,000,000 troops on both sides and stretching on a 1,400 kilometres (870 mi) long front. During its four-month duration, the eastern bank of the Dnieper was recovered from German forces by five of the Red Army's fronts, which conducted several assault river crossings to establish several heavily fortified areas on the western bank. Subsequently, Kiev was liberated in the Battle of Kiev.

One of the costliest operations of the war, the casualties are estimated at being from 1,700,000 to 2,700,000 on both sides. One of the most tragic events took place during the establishment of so-called Bukryn lodgement near the village of Malyi Bukryn (Myronivka Raion). The Soviet writer and war veteran Viktor Astafyev in his memoirs was recalling that 25,000 soldiers who entered the Dnieper from one side, would exit the river on the other side in amounts of 5-6,000.

2,438 soldiers were awarded the Hero of the Soviet Union which was more than had been awarded previously since the award's establishment and never again was there such a big number of laureates.

The narrator says: The German staff was confident that the mighty fortification so-called "eastern shaft", the main part of which runs along the Dnieper - was impregnable. "The Dnieper River will flow backwards before the Russians overcome us"  boasted Hitler.

But Soviet Army Lieutenant Yuri Melkov wrote: "The Dneiper is a natural barrier.

This film shows the very first Royal Air Force bombing raid on the Renault factories in Paris, France in March of 1942. Although not well remembered today, the fact is that during WWII the Allies conducted a long aerial campaign over occupied France. The very first raids were in 1940, as the RAF Bomber Command launched attacks against German preparations for Operation Sealion, the proposed invasion of England, attacking Channel Ports in France and Belgium and sinking large numbers of barges that had been collected by the Germans for use in the invasion. France's Atlantic ports were important bases for both German surface ships and submarines, while French industry was an important contributor to the German war effort.

Before 1944, the Allies bombed targets in France that were part of the German war industry. This included raids such as those on the Renault factory in Boulogne-Billancourt in March 1942 or the port facilities of Nantes in September 1943 (which killed 1,500 civilians). In preparation of Allied landings in Normandy and those in the south of France, French infrastructure (mainly rail transport) was intensively targeted by RAF and USAAF in May and June 1944. Despite intelligence provided by the French Resistance, many residential areas were hit in error or lack of accuracy. This included cities like Marseille (2,000 dead), Lyon (1,000 dead), Saint-Étienne, Rouen, Orléans, Grenoble, Nice, Paris surrounds, and so on. The Free French Air Force, operational since 1941, used to opt for the more risky skimming tactic when operating in national territory, to avoid civilian casualties. On 5 January 1945, British bombers struck the "Atlantic pocket" of Royan and destroyed 85% of this city. A later raid, using napalm was carried out before it was freed from Nazi occupation in April. Of the 3,000 civilians left in the city, 442 died.

The film shows the famous Stage Door Canteen, the ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center,  and the Central Park Zoo. At 1:14, a troop transport ship arrives at New York Harbor filled with allied wounded. A brief segment follows showing how a group of British medics from the transport ships volunteered to work in the New York area Grasslands Hospital. The Brits also socialize with the Yanks and are shown socializing at a local bar in Westchester at 4:30. Soldiers are shown playing pinball and playing piano in this segment.

At 6:50, a new segment shows a presentation by Marine Lt. Col. Evans Carlson, who studied Japanese battle tactics, morale, and Japanese soldier characteristics in the field in China. Carlson, whose outfit was known as the Gung Ho raiders, speaks of the Japanese as disciplined and touch adversaries. 

Evans Fordyce Carlson (26 February 1896 – 27 May 1947) was a decorated and retired United States Marine Corps general officer who was the legendary leader of "Carlson's Raiders", during World War II crediting him as the forefather of one of America's first U.S. special operations forces. He is renowned for the "Makin Island raid" in 1942, and their "Long Patrol" (aka Carlson's patrol) behind Japanese lines on Guadalcanal, in which 488 Japanese were killed.

Carlson is also credited with introducing the term "Gung-ho" into the Marine Corps.

Medaris, the commander of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA). ABMA was established at Redstone Arsenal on 1 February 1956 and would operate for four years before the space program would be de-militarized. During that time, enormous technological challenges were overcome by the ABMA resulting in some of the most critical, pioneering successes of the space program.

The film begins with footage of WWI as Dr. Robert Goddard demonstrates rockets to the Army. At 3:46, Goddard and Leslie Skinnard shown developing rockets and the bazooka. At 4:00, small rockets are shown being used in WWII. At 4:20, Jet Propulsion Lab experiments with longer-range rockets and missiles are seen including 1945 sounding rocket tests. At 4:55, German rocket development is seen at Pennemunde, with Dr. Wernher von Braun building the V-2. von Braun is seen surrendering to the USA forces at 6:30, and a short time later he and dozens of other former Nazis are moved to White Sands, New Mexico where tests continue with Americanized V-2s. The "bumper" and WAC Corporal rocket is seen at 7:20, and its successful launch in 1949. The Corporal ballistic missile is seen at 8:20 and the Redstone Arsenal at Huntsville, Alabama is shown at 8:50. 

The Redstone missile was the first major project assigned to ABMA at Redstone Arsenal. This was a direct descendant of the V-2. Its first launch is seen at 10:00, and while there are setbacks it eventually becomes operational. Von Braun suggests the missile be used to loft an Earth satellite at 11:50, known as "Project Orbiter".  At 12:18, Project Vanguard is announced and "Orbiter" cancelled.  (Project Vanguard was chosen over the ABMA's proposal to use a modified Redstone ballistic missile as a satellite launch vehicle, ABMA was ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/583c00fc-4376-4235-b7f6-1bbd06e8ba93/dbfba863-8261-4685-8928-aaac403e212b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bTWEePPzVCpL3B5K14QBM6</video:player_loc><video:duration>1901</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T18:03:31.276Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/o8n4B149agnTGTJh8CvrFm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0ecc8d8c-bf57-415b-a2a8-14a6fa388453.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CORVETTES OF THE ROYAL NAVY  WWII MINISTRY OF INFORMATION FILM  50534</video:title><video:description>Made during World War II, "Corvettes" profiles the Royal Navy's ships of the same name. These were rapidly built ships meant to counter the Nazi threat to Great Britain by protecting convoys. Ships of the Flower Class are seen being launched and joining a convoy, and then practicing anti-aircraft gunnery, and conducting a  U-boat patrol as part of convoy duty.

The term "corvette" was originally a French name for a small sailing warship, intermediate between the frigate and the sloop-of-war. In the 1830s the term was adopted by the RN for sailing warships of roughly similar size, primarily operating in the shipping protection role. With the arrival of steam power, paddle- and later screw-driven corvettes were built for the same purpose, growing in power, size, and armament over the decades. In 1877 the RN abolished the "corvette" as a traditional category; corvettes and frigates were then combined into a new category, "cruiser".

The months leading up to World War II saw the RN return to the concept of a small escort warship being used in the shipping protection role. The Flower class was based on the design of Southern Pride, a whale-catcher, and were labelled "corvettes", thus restoring the title for the RN, although the Flower-class has no connection with pre-1877 cruising vessels.

There are two distinct groups of vessels in this class: the original Flower-class, 225 vessels ordered during the 1939 and 1940 building programmes; and the modified Flower-class, which followed with a further 69 vessels ordered from 1940 onward. The modified Flowers were slightly larger and somewhat better armed.

All Flower-class vessels, of original or modified design, that saw service with the USN are known as Action-class gunboats, and carried the hull classification symbol PG ("patrol gunboat").

The Flower-class corvette (also referred to as the Gladiolus class after the lead ship)[4] was a British class of 267 corvettes used during World War II, specifically with the Allied...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b3303ca5-fca2-446d-b3ba-155c54f5f996/912f44de-affb-428b-b1f2-4e219bec8b7c-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/o8n4B149agnTGTJh8CvrFm</video:player_loc><video:duration>480</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T18:03:20.378Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/r5G7JEjnw7eNg4VHM318a1</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/9f1c7448-bcdd-4f05-8dfc-acb09779f393.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE STORY OF THE BATTLE OF MIDWAY -- IN TWO MINUTES!</video:title><video:description>Enhanced historic newsreel about the Battle of Midway, one of the most crucial moments in the Pacific Campaign of WWII. The Battle of Midway was a decisive naval battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II. Between 4 and 7 June 1942, only six months after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and one month after the Battle of the Coral Sea, the United States Navy under Admirals Chester Nimitz, Frank Jack Fletcher, and Raymond A. Spruance decisively defeated an attacking fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy under Admirals Isoroku Yamamoto, Chuichi Nagumo, and Nobutake Kondo near Midway Atoll, inflicting devastating damage on the Japanese fleet that proved irreparable. Military historian John Keegan called it "the most stunning and decisive blow in the history of naval warfare."

The station was part of the US Navy's contribution to the IGY (International Geophysical Year) in 1957. We learn, starting at mark 00:43, how the Navy’s Construction Battalion Center in Rhode Island established a special mobile construction battalion to construct and maintain such scientific outposts. Crews underwent specialized conditioning, shown at mark 01:30, to prepare them for the brutal temperatures in Antarctica and to enable them to construct a naval base at Little America on the coast of the Ross Sea as well as a naval air facility at McMurdo Sound. By mark 04:00 the film shows tons of supplies coming ashore as tractors smoothed the snow ahead of the job. As the film continues, sailors are shown laying foundations and erecting structures in the frigid air. By mark 10:50, the film shows crews preparing the area for what would become heavy air operations at McMurdo Sound including construction of heavy duty 250,000 gallon storage tanks to be used for fuel, which was pumped from a tanker anchored off shore. By mark 12:30, the Seabees roll was completed as both sites became operational. The construction crews would remain in the area, we are told, to construct other facilities including Ellsworth Station, Pole Station, Wilkes Station, Byrd Station, and Cape Hallett, all of which would be used to support various scientific operations of the IGY project. The USS Wyandot (AKA-92), an attack cargo ship, is shown unloading supplies at Ellsworth Station on the Weddell Sea at mark 13:33 during the operation, with scenes from other stations filling the remainder of the film.  

A Seabee is a member of the United States Naval Construction Forces (NCF).

Almost any sound can be recorded magnetically and played back immediately, the viewer is told at mark 00:55 as we watch a man adjusting various tape machines including an Ekotape that we’re told are available for sale to schools, churches, and industry, and are comparable to those used at radio stations and professional recording studios. At mark 01:18 we see students being tutored in a classroom while using a tape recorder to treat reading and speaking problems. As the film continues we learn of other classroom uses for a tape recorder including assisting teachers improve their teaching methods (mark 03:05). Student musicians also benefit from such recordings, as beginning at mark 04:00 we watch a trombone player practicing his music before reviewing his efforts on tape. Similar efforts are seen on the part of a pianist and violinist before the film address the use of magnetic recordings in the preparation of radio broadcasts (starting at mark 05:30) or in interviews. It can also be used in business, as men are shown practicing their sales pitches, or in meetings where the proceedings can later be transcribed. As the film continues, even more uses are described included uses including in church to practice sermons (as is shown at mark 07:40) or provide sermons to those who cannot attend. Starting at mark 08:00 the film examines the best ways to select and use such equipment as we watch a young boy set up a device followed by an animated explanation of their operation. After watching the boy record a presentation starting at mark 12:15 and its subsequent playback, we learn of how to use a tape can be reused and edited as needed as the film draws to a close. An Ampex industrial 1/4" machine is seen at 17:39, possibly an Ampex Model 400 although we can't say with certainty.

The film is notable as it contains native music and songs recorded in the field, along with footage of Filipino arts and crafts including weaving. At 1:12, modern Manila is shown, still bearing many scars of war but appearing bustling and full of life. Starting at 1:30, rural life in the mountains of Luzon is shown along with indigenous handicrafts and at 2:04, native ceremonies including the warrior dance. These are members of the Igorot tribe who live in the mountains of northern Luzon, the largest island of the Philippines. The name Igorot means "mountaineer" in the Tagalog language. There are about 10 main ethnic groups among the Igorot, each with its own culture. At 2:26 Igorot marriage ceremonies are seen.

The film also shows rice farming at 3:00 using flood irrigation methods, the harvest with water buffalo providing some motive power, and a harvest dance called a "rice ballet" by the narrator at 5:00. Fish and then pork is seen being cooked at 5:50, a diet that continues into the 21st Century. At 6:45, a cock fight is shown with the roosters having long, sharp metal shivs attached to their legs. At 7:19 the Sulu Islands are shown and the Moro people. The Moro people is a coined term for the population of Muslims in the Philippines, forming the largest non-Catholic group in the country, and comprising about 5.1% (as of August 2007) of the total Philippine population. Most are the followers of Sunni Islam of Shafi'i madh'hab

 At 7:50, Moro Filipinos are seen engaged in a Muslim wedding ceremony. At 8:45, pearl diving is shown. At 9:10, more war ruins are seen -- and the narrator mentions that it will take a lot of effort to restore the Philippines to what it was before WWII.

HIGH SPEED CAR CRASH AIR BAG TEST w/ CRASH TEST DUMMIES 86494</video:title><video:description>Dating to the 1970s, this silent film shows a crash test performed by General Motors during early tests of air bags. This particular test is for a front impact at an angle, and various views show the collision and resultant deployment.  In the 1970s, General Motors marketed its first airbag modules under the unwieldy name "Air Cushion Restraint System (ACRS)". 

G.M.'s history with airbags dates back to the 1972 model year, when the Chevrolet Division built 1,000 1973 Chevrolet Caprice and Impala models equipped with them. They were provided to fleet customers under an agreement for testing purposes. In 1973 unfortunately, the first air bag fatality occurred when an unrestrained infant riding in the front passenger seat was killed after the passenger-side air bag deployed in a crash. 

In 1974 the Oldsmobile Toronado became the first production car built with the Air Cushion Restraint System (ACRS) option that was intended for retail sale. It was followed by the Buick Electra 225 Limited. GM began building Cadillacs, Buicks, and Oldsmobiles with ACRS, and stated that they expect to sell 100,000 a year. But sales were disappointingly small -- only 10K units -- and after just three years of marketing, the option was dropped. G.M. would not offer them again for over a decade.

The Pope is shown at mark 01:33 greeting the faithful from the back of a papal vehicle. A brief history of the network begins at mark 02:20 with an image of Pope Pius XII as he delivered the first radio message. It is explained how broadcasts are made in a variety of languages to provide news, interviews, Biblical dramatizations, and music. Film footage of various radio broadcasts follow as one radio employee explains that ideas for shows can come to employees at any time and at any place (mark 05:22) before taking the camera to the Santa Maria Di Galeria broadcast facility for Vatican Radio (mark 06:12), about 11 miles from St. Peter’s Basilica, where more footage from radio broadcasts in different languages is shown. Pope John Paul II is shown again beginning at mark 11:43 as he walks down a line of well-wishers, blessing them, before he addresses the crowds. 

Vatican Radio (Italian: Radio Vaticana) is the official broadcasting service of the Vatican.

Set up in 1931 by Guglielmo Marconi, today its programs are offered in 47 languages, and are sent out on short wave (also DRM), medium wave, FM, satellite and the Internet. Since its inception, Vatican Radio has been maintained by the Jesuit Order. During World War II and the rise of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, Vatican Radio served as a source for news for the Allies as well as broadcasting pro-Allied propaganda.[citation needed] A week after Pope Pius XII ordered the programming, Vatican Radio broadcast to an incredulous world that Poles and Jews were being rounded up and forced into ghettos.

Today, programming is produced by over two hundred journalists located in 61 different countries.

While 259 lives were lost to the hurricane, thousands were saved due to emergency planning, highly trained rescue teams, the Red Cross, and help from the forces of government. 

Hurricane Camille was the third and strongest tropical cyclone and second hurricane during the 1969 Atlantic hurricane season. It was the second of three catastrophic Category 5 hurricanes to make landfall in the United States during the 20th century (the others being 1935's Labor Day hurricane and 1992's Hurricane Andrew), which it did near the mouth of the Mississippi River on the night of August 17. Camille was the second strongest U.S. landfalling hurricane in recorded history in terms of atmospheric pressure, behind the Labor Day Hurricane in 1935.

The storm formed on 14 August and rapidly deepened. It scraped the western edge of Cuba at Category 2 intensity. Camille rapidly deepened once again over the Gulf of Mexico and made landfall with a pressure of 900 mbar (hPa; 26.58 inHg), estimated sustained winds of 175 mph (280 km/h)[2] and a peak official storm surge of 24 feet (7.3 m). The hurricane flattened nearly everything along the coast of the U.S. state of Mississippi, with enormous storm surge. It caused additional flooding and deaths inland while crossing the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. In total, Camille killed 259 people and caused $1.42 billion (1969 USD, $9.27 billion 2017 USD) in damages. To date, a complete understanding of the reasons for the system's power, extremely rapid intensification over open water and strength at landfall has not been achieved.

The response after the storm involved many federal, state, and local agencies and volunteer organizations.

“Mecca The Forbidden City” is a black-and-white British picture taking its viewer to the Saudi Arabian city. The center of the Islamic religion is shown beginning at mark 01:00, with a brief narrative of Islam’s origins. The film shows how Muslims travel as part of the Hajj to Mecca from all over the world. At mark 03:53 we see Mecca’s market places, where bartering and trading occurs just as it had for 2,000 years, as well as a look at a solemn moment of prayer (mark 04:46). Pilgrims are shown traveling to Mecca by ship (mark 05:55), entering the Red Sea at mark 11:38, and being called to one of five daily prayers. Growing nearer to setting foot on the hallowed ground of the holy land of Mecca at mark 16:45, the film continues to capture the voyage of the pilgrims as they pass through Jeddah on the coast of the Red Sea. Some travel by bus while other pilgrims choose other, more humble means or transportation such as camel (mark 19:36) before finally reaching the forbidden city of Mecca (mark 21:30) and showing never-before-seen scenes from its streets. 

Mecca[3] (/ˈmɛkə/) or Makkah (Arabic: مكة‎‎ Makkah) is a city in the Hejaz in Saudi Arabia,[4] the capital of its Makkah Region. The city is located 70 km (43 mi) inland from Jeddah in a narrow valley at a height of 277 m (909 ft) above sea level. Its resident population in 2012 was roughly 2 million, although visitors more than triple this number every year during the hajj ("pilgrimage") period held in the twelfth Muslim lunar month of Dhu al-Hijjah.

As the birthplace of Muhammad and the site of Muhammad's first revelation of the Quran (specifically, a cave 3 km (2 mi) from Mecca), Mecca is regarded as the holiest city in the religion of Islam and a pilgrimage to it known as the Hajj is obligatory for all able Muslims. Mecca is home to the Kaaba, by majority description Islam's holiest site, as well as being the direction of Muslim prayer. Mecca was ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/856783e4-fb9c-4e3c-89c8-1e6942b88844/b29e4316-892f-4114-a892-05b786c949db-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/htsj3VXA4eJdm6oE3qgLz3</video:player_loc><video:duration>1594</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T18:17:15.758Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oL8dYWXX38LpKKMcwuK21q</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4269c483-e4d8-4764-a1d5-07a7898a268e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>ALLIS CHALMERS M100 MOTOR GRADER PROMOTIONAL FILM  50774</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This promotional film for Allis Chalmers' new M100 Motor Grader likely dates to the early 1960s. The 167hp engine and high clearances offered by this machine were touted by AC in the film, which was called the "most productive motor grader in its class". The company hoped that the M100 and its rollaway blade design would represent a new standard in the construction industry. Its design also offered high visibility and ground-hugging stability. Surprisingly, this version of the M-100 is shown without a protective cab, a safety consideration for this type of equipment. 

Allis-Chalmers was a U.S. manufacturer of machinery for various industries. Its business lines included agricultural equipment, construction equipment, power generation and power transmission equipment, and machinery for use in industrial settings such as factories, flour mills, sawmills, textile mills, steel mills, refineries, mines, and ore mills. The first Allis-Chalmers Company was formed in 1901 as an amalgamation of the Edward P. Allis Company (steam engines and mill equipment), Fraser &amp; Chalmers (mining and ore milling equipment), the Gates Iron Works (rock and cement milling equipment), and the industrial business line of the Dickson Manufacturing Company (engines and compressors). It was reorganized in 1912 as the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company. During the next 70 years its industrial machinery filled countless mills, mines, and factories around the world, and its brand gained fame among consumers mostly from its farm equipment business's orange tractors and silver combine harvesters. In the 1980s and 1990s a series of divestitures transformed the firm and eventually dissolved it. Its successors today are Allis-Chalmers Energy and AGCO.

A grader, also commonly referred to as a road grader or a motor grader, is a construction machine with a long blade used to create a flat surface during the grading process. Typical models ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b8523a6d-f260-4435-8b27-957044b0fab4/62e65ea5-df30-4b06-89fa-d7c8e9a81e3b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oL8dYWXX38LpKKMcwuK21q</video:player_loc><video:duration>407</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T18:16:55.785Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wcn3GLE1mHrtShh4WzAw9s</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a7c0c1ec-de11-4f93-bcc8-3845de6db6fe.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s GENERAL MOTORS 1973 Chevy IMPALA ROLLOVER CAR CRASH TEST FILM 88234</video:title><video:description>This crash test film shows how a rollover test is performed using a 1973 Chevy Impala equipped with crash test dummies. After some establishing shots, the actual test can be seen at 3:50 and following, with a car launched sideways of an inclined ramp, causing it to roll over onto the roof three times. Much resultant damage is seen from shattered glass, the departure of the right rear tire, and roof crush damage. At 1:13, close-up shots of the crash test dummies show what might have been the fate of anyone in the car...

This silent test film shows the results of a high speed crash test on a 1973 Chevrolet Corvette, and features various angles of the impact including shots from underneath the vehicle. The film begins with reference shots of the car from all sides before moving into the tests, with the car traveling into an angled concrete wall. The car doors were made of transparent plastic to aid researchers in seeing the impact effects on the passengers -- crash test dummies. 

The test shows twin air bags in use in the car, which dates the film to approximately 1973, although it may be earlier (and hopefully one of you Corvette enthusiasts can pin down the exact year). At the 7:55 mark you can see views inside the car as first generation airbags deploy, and although it is hard to gauge their effectiveness from this film alone, it appears they do prevent the dummies from impacting the windscreen.

Gerrie. The Grand Marshall this year was Charles Erwin Wilson (July 18, 1890 – September 26, 1961), an American engineer and businessman who served as United States Secretary of Defense from 1953 to 1957 under President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Known as "Engine Charlie", he previously worked as CEO for General Motors. In the wake of the Korean War, he cut the defense budget significantly.

The floats included those for the teams of the 1956 Rose Bowl game, played on January 2, 1956. The Michigan State Spartans defeated the UCLA Bruins, 17–14. Michigan State halfback Walt Kowalczyk was named the Rose Bowl Player Of The Game.

The Rose Parade, also known as the Tournament of Roses Parade and the Rose Parade presented by Honda, is part of "America's New Year Celebration" held in Pasadena, California each year on New Year's Day (or on Monday, January 2 if New Year's Day falls on a Sunday). The parade includes flower-covered floats, marching bands, and equestrian units and is followed by the Rose Bowl college football game. It is produced by the nonprofit Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association.

Originally started on January 1, 1890, the Rose Parade is watched in person by hundreds of thousands of spectators on the parade route, and is broadcast on multiple television networks in the United States. It is seen by millions more on television worldwide in more than 100 international territories and countries. The Rose Bowl is a college football game that was added in 1902 to help fund the cost of staging the parade. Since 2011, the parade has been sponsored by Honda Accordingly, the company has the parade's first float, which like all floats, follows the parade's theme.

Narrated by Ronald Reagan (who as United States President nearly 30 years after this film would influence the fall of Communism), the picture opens in Czechoslovakia where democratic elements, led by President Edvard Benes, hoped the Soviet Union would allow Czechoslovakia the freedom to choose its own form of government and aspired to a Czechoslovakia that would act as a bridge between East and West. Communist leaders pushed for a coalition government instead, with Klement Gottwald as prime minister, and in 1948 took power. To divert attention, Reagan explains Stalin ordered violent protests in Colombia (mark 02:25) with riots killing 1,000 people and destroying more than 100 buildings. Stalin then blocks access routes into Berlin, Germany (mark 02:55) leading to the Berlin airlift (mark 03:15). In June 1950, with Stalin’s prompting, North Korea and South Korea go to war (mark 07:50) as battle scenes flood the screen before a truce is declared in 1953. The film returns to the Kremlin at mark 09:20 and an explanation of how Stalin executed hundreds of Jewish doctors and leaders after accusing them of conspiracy and espionage. His purge continues until news of the Soviet leader’s March 1953 death as the headline “Stroke Fells Stalin” flashes onto the screen at mark 10:08. “The end of a tyrant,” Reagan says. 

We then follow Khrushchev’s sudden rise to power as secretary-general of the Soviet Union (mark 12:35) as he staffs key positions with his own followers and at mark 13:10 is shown delievering his de-Stalinization speech (a process of political reform in the Soviet Union consisting of changing or removing key institutions that helped Stalin hold power). There are scenes from the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 starting at mark 15:27 and the subsequent Soviet response (mark 20:20).

Kerensky introduces the documentary starting at mark 00:35, explains how he had been leader of the provisional government before being overthrown, and notes that the Russian people are victims of Communism. A passage of the Manifesto of the Communist Party (including the proclamation that the “proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains”) flashes on the screen at mark 02:25 before scenes of the revolution (taken by Russian cameraman as they occurred) are shown. Leon Trotsky, a leader of the revolution and a founding member of the Red Army, speaks from the back of a train at mark 03:00, and at mark 03:10 we learn of the film’s narrator — Ronald Reagan — who as United States President nearly 30 years after this film would be influential in the fall of Communism. 

Reagan explains that it will be up to the audience to help meet the  Communist challenge in the world and we see a map showing the “conspiracy that is communism” (mark 03:50) as well as Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev (mark 03:56), Chinese Chairman Mao Tse-tung (mark 04:14), Cuban leader Fidel Castro (mark 04:22) — all of whom claim that co-existence with capitalism is impossible. “There target is us. Our institutions, our religions, our families, our children,” Reagan says. He goes on to describe Karl Marx as “a sick man … sick in body and spirit.” We witness the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II at mark 06:00 and the arrival of Vladimir Lenin in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) at mark 06:20 as he speaks before a crowd of onlookers. We see a young Kerensky before the Communists take over the country and are shown executing anyone who stands in their way (mark 07:00).

0:55 - 1:02: The Emergency Medical Services (EMS) cover the entire country with a network of ambulance depots, first aid posts, and hospitals.

1:02 - 1:47: Hospitals include specialized centers for various types of injuries and conditions like burns, eye injuries, head injuries, etc., and specific centers for psychological conditions like neurosis, especially due to war stress. These neurosis centers are located near large towns prone to bombing.

1:47 - 2:08: The film focuses on one of these neurosis centers, which is a hospital with 550 beds, treating about 3,000 patients annually, with an average stay of 6 to 8 weeks. Patients include both civilians and military personnel.

2:08 - 2:52: The hospital has an active outpatient department and associated clinics. It's housed in an evacuated school, allowing for specialized units for different illnesses and treatments, including separate units for men and women, civilians, and armed forces personnel.

2:52 - 3:10: The hospital is equipped with surgical units, x-ray departments, and labs for pathology, biochemistry, and psychological research focused on war-related issues.

3:10 - 4:11: The hospital treats neurosis and mild psychosis with a good prognosis, serving both military personnel affected by active service and civilians impacted by war conditions like bombing.

(“Flight” was an anthology series featuring the importance of aviation that aired in syndication for one season. It was created with the assistance of the United States Air Force and featured retired General George C. Kenney as the host and opening narrator.) Co-starring Herbert Rudley, Mike Road, and Wesley Lau, the episode follows General Kenney’s traditional opening (at mark 01:25) with a flight surgeon examining a pilot while discussing his upcoming supersonic flight. Sensing something is wrong with the pilot emotionally, the doctor allows him to go on his way. While on a training mission the pilot accidentally fires on his tow plane (mark 06:18) forcing him to eject while the F-100 crashes. In the hospital at mark 07:24, the pilots explain what occurred during the mission and the flight surgeon confronts the pilot to ask why he fired on another pilot. Refusing to answer,  the surgeon goes on to meet with the commanding officer and theorize that stress may have been to blame (mark 11:40). A lieutenant explains that the pilot had been spending a lot of time in Las Vegas with a showgirl and the film cuts to Fremont Street at mark 13:46 where the surgeon questions her and learns the two pilots fought over her the night before — leading to speculation that he deliberately tried to kill the other officer. After taking a look at the pilots’ mission and discussing the effects of negative gravity (mark 18:15) the surgeon speculates that may have been to blame — speculation that’s later proven true.

The were based on fact and the realism was heightened by actual use of combat footage from the files of the Navy. The stories were varied between the South Pacific during World War II and the Korean War. The series was the brainchild of Rear Admiral Thomas M. Dykers, who retired from the Navy in 1949 after 22 years service and introduces this episode.

This episode stars Richard Deacon, James McCallion, Mark Tapscott, Paul Carr, Wally Richard, David Whorf, Baynes Barron and Leonard A. Mazzola.

The episode is set in December 1942 aboard the USS Seadragon (SS-194) and the viewer is given a brief history of the vessel and how it came under attack by Japanese depth charges. Running out of air and with a Japanese sub trailing them, the captain gives the order to surface at mark 07:45 and to prepare to fire. On the surface and firing torpedoes at a Japanese vessel at mark 09:45 and take fire in return but successful elude the enemy. At mark 13:05, some of the officers question why their skipper didn’t stay and fight rather than turn from the battle, only to learn at mark 14:00 of his plan to take the sub into Rabaul Harbor in Papua New Guinea, where the Japanese have a naval installation and have based their subs. “No doggone Japanese sub is going to shoot at my boat and get away with it!” the skipper tells his men. 

After locating and firing on the sub at mark 17:15 the Seadragon falls under attack from an enemy bomber, jamming a live torpedo in her firing tube. Dropping to 150 feet the captain realizes they can’t surface and they can’t run because the vibration may detonate the torpedo, so he decides to use a blast of air to jettison it from the tube. The idea was successful (mark 22:23) and though the blast damaged the sub the crew was able to save  themselves and the ship.

NATIONAL HOT ROD ASSOCIATION 11TH ANNUAL CHAMPIONSHIPS AT INDIANAPOLIS RACEWAY 46334</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Drag racing and the National Hot Rod Association takes centerstage in this circa 1965 film presented by Hurst Performance Products. The film reminds the viewer of the modest beginnings of a hot rod (mark 00:45) and how fanatics would take old cars and drop a big engine in a small car, remove the fenders and windshield, and before you know it — a hot rod. The narrator continues to trace the vehicle’s development and how the sport became one that was carefully engineered as various incarnations of cars are shown. By mark 03:39 we’re taken to the drag strip at Los Angeles County Fairgrounds for the NHRA Winter Nationals Drag Race. (Originally scheduled for three days, the event was reduced to just a single day by heavy fog and persistent rain Friday and Saturday.) From there we see the Spring Nationals in Bristol, Tennessee starting at mark 06:42 with several highlights shown. Beginning at mark 12:55 we’re taken to the 1965 NHRA Nationals at Indianapolis Raceway Park — “the payoff for drivers who have traveled the circuit from coast to coast.” Scenes include pit crews preparing and fine tuning their vehicles for the race, with racers such as Don Garlits and Don Prudhomme shown in action. Prudhomme went on to capture Top Fuel Dragster honors, shown at mark 21:42.

This film chronicles the rapid rise of drag racing as America’s fastest growing sport, tracing its roots from the early hot rods—small, lightweight cars with powerful engines—to the sleek, high-powered dragsters that dominate the tracks today. It highlights key events from the 1965 drag racing season, including the Winter Nationals in Pomona, California, where speeds surpassed 200 mph and races were timed with extreme precision. The Spring Nationals in Bristol, Tennessee, showcased cutting-edge facilities and fierce competition among top racers like Don Garet, Connie Khita, and Don Westerdale.

Shrader's Son, part of the Scovill Manufacturing Company, this industrial film promotes the use of free air services for automobile service stations, to increase customer loyalty and sales of tires, valve caps, and other equipment. The company, which held the patent on the automobile tire valve, also produced affiliated equipment including air valves, pumps, and automatic pneumatic equipment. Shrader's "certified air service" as presented in the film, was a huge cash cow for the company and its affiliates.

Founded in 1844 by German immigrant August Schrader, the company’s humble roots began in a small machine shop in Manhattan, New York. Eventually A. Schrader’s Son had a huge factory at 791 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn. The growing popularity and improved technology of the bicycle had led to pneumatic tires on bikes. A. Schrader’s Son developed and patented the first pneumatic tire valve, the same valve that is used on every bicycle and automobile tire today. It’s still called a Schrader valve.

The start of the film shows part of Los Angeles including Black's Indian Store (:37) located on East Adams Street.

The film shows Randy Kerr, the first boy to receive the Salk Vaccine. As the film shows, the Salk Vaccine was both safe and effective and went into commercial manufacture. The film does not mention Dr. Albert Sabin, whose oral vaccine came into use in 1961, so presumably the film dates from between 1956-1961.

The film shows the production of the vaccine, using the live virus, in a laboratory at Eli Lilly &amp; Company. The film also shows how monkeys were used (3:14) as part of the development protocol. At 9:31, the National Institutes of Health are seen. Dr. Leonard Healy speaks about the results of the vaccination campaign at 12:20. The film also shows David Eisenhower, the grandson of President Eisenhower, who received the vaccine as a youngster.

The first polio vaccine was the inactivated polio vaccine. It was developed by Jonas Salk and came into use in 1955. The oral polio vaccine was developed by Albert Sabin and came into commercial use in 1961. They are on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most important medication needed in a basic health system.The wholesale cost in the developing world is about 0.25 USD per dose for the oral form as of 2014. In the United States it costs between 25 and 50 USD for the inactivated form.

Polio vaccines are vaccines used to prevent poliomyelitis (polio). One type uses inactivated poliovirus and is given by injection (IPV), while the other type uses weakened poliovirus and is given by mouth (OPV). The World Health Organization recommends all children be vaccinated against polio. The two vaccines have eliminated polio from most of the world, and reduced the number of cases each year from an estimated 350,000 in 1988 to 74 in 2015.[

The color film, presented by the Dodge Dealers of America, opens with Denis and his wife, Michaela, in Australia as they map out a journey from Adelaide, South Australia north through the central deserts to Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia. “The equipment? Dodge, of course,” we’re told at mark 01:22 as the camera pans vehicles loaded with tents, camping gear, and film equipment. We view the pleasant suburbs of South Australia’s capital city (mark 01:49) as well as the surrounding flora and fauna. Flocks of exotic birds take to sky starting at mark 05:00, as a film crew stops to photograph a blue mountain parrot and rescue a baby bird starting at mark 07:00 before unearthing an echidna (spiny anteater) at mark 08:07. (Echidna are are the only surviving members of the order Monotremata and are the only living mammals that lay eggs). There are scenes of baby kangaroos (mark 08:52) as well as adults. Driving through the Australian desert the camera pans across gaunt animal carcasses, the victims of thirst (mark 11:10) and survivors of the environment such as the skink lizard (mark 11:25) and a frilled lizard. Mark 13:35 takes us to Ayers Rock, a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of the Northern Territory, and we spend more than 10 minutes with Aborigines starting at mark 14:08 before cutting through a mangrove swamp (mark 28:23) to photograph bats before finally reaching the northern coast (mark 30:20). 

Armand Georges Denis (2 December 1896 – 15 April 1971) was a Belgian-born documentary filmmaker. After several decades of pioneering work in filming and presenting the ethnology and wildlife of remote parts of Africa and Asia, he became best known in Britain as the director and co-presenter of natural history programmes on television in the 1950s and 1960s, with his second wife Michaela.

A groundbreaking craft, Alvin was designed as a replacement for bathyscaphes and other less maneuverable oceanographic vehicles. Its more nimble design was made possible in part by the development of syntactic foam, which is buoyant and yet strong enough to serve as a structural material at great depths.

The vessel weighs 17 tons. It allows for two scientists and one pilot to dive for up to nine hours at 4,500 metres (14,800 ft). The submersible features two robotic arms and can be fitted with mission-specific sampling and experimental gear. The plug hatch of the vessel is 0.48 metres (1 ft 7 in) in diameter and somewhat thicker than the 2-inch (51 mm) thick titanium sphere pressure hull; it is held in place by the pressure of the water above it.

In an emergency, if Alvin were stuck underwater with occupants inside, the outer body, or cladding, of the submersible could be released and discarded using controls inside the hull. The titanium sphere would then rise to the surface uncontrolled.

Alvin, first of its ship class of deep submergence vehicle (DSV), was built to dive to 2,440 metres (8,010 ft). Each of the Alvin-class DSVs have different depth capabilities. However Alvin is the only one seconded to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), with the others staying with the United States Navy.

Alvin's first deep sea tests took place off Andros Island, the Bahamas, where it made a successful 12-hour, unmanned tethered 7,500-foot (2,300 m) test dive. On 20 July 1965 Alvin made its first 6,000-foot (1,800 m) manned dive for the Navy to obtain certification. On 17 March 1966, Alvin was used to locate a submerged 1.45-megaton hydrogen bomb lost in a United States Air Force midair accident over Palomares, Spain. The bomb, found resting nearly 910 metres (2,990 ft) deep, was raised intact on 7 April.

While the visuals are not that interesting, the end of the film shows a rare sight -- a point-of-view shot of the Trieste dumping some of the thousands of pounds of steel "drop shot" ballast as it rises to the surface.

Trieste was a Swiss-designed, Italian-built deep-diving research bathyscaphe, which with its crew of two reached a record maximum depth of about 10,911 metres (35,797 ft), in the deepest known part of the Earth's oceans, the Challenger Deep, in the Mariana Trench near Guam in the Pacific. On 23 January 1960, Jacques Piccard (son of the boat's designer Auguste Piccard) and US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh achieved the goal of Project Nekton.

Trieste was the first manned vessel to have reached the bottom of the Challenger Deep.

The spacecraft, named Faith 7, completed 22 Earth orbits before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean, piloted by astronaut Gordon Cooper, then a United States Air Force major. After 22 orbits, virtually all capsule systems failed. Cooper manually fired the retrorockets and the spacecraft reentered the atmosphere, landing safely in the Pacific Ocean 34 hours, 19 minutes, and 49 seconds after liftoff. Cooper was reported in good condition, and this turned out to be the final Mercury flight.

This film "The American in Orbit" recounts the flight of Col. John H. Glenn, Jr.  On February 20, 1962, Colonel John Glenn made history as the first American to orbit the Earth aboard the Friendship 7 spacecraft, launched from Cape Canaveral atop an Atlas rocket. After months of preparation and delays, Glenn’s successful mission marked a critical moment in the space race, following the earlier Soviet and American milestones. Traveling at 17,500 miles per hour, he completed three orbits over nearly five hours, enduring intense forces and extreme heat during re-entry. Safely recovered by the U.S. Navy, Glenn was celebrated as a national hero, receiving the Distinguished Service Medal and widespread acclaim, including a standing ovation in Congress. His accomplishment symbolized American ingenuity and inspired hope for the peaceful exploration of space.

0:00 — Dawn breaks at Cape Canaveral as Colonel John Glenn prepares for his historic Mercury mission atop the Atlas missile, marking the start of a monumental day.

1:27 — Glenn’s flight occurs ten months after Yuri Gagarin’s groundbreaking orbit and follows Alan Shepard’s suborbital journey; the world watches closely as the U.S. aims to catch up in the space race.

2:38 — The Atlas rocket launches with Glenn aboard, subjecting him to six times the force of gravity as he begins his pioneering orbit around Earth.

4:18 — Orbiting at 17,500 miles per hour, Glenn completes an 81,000-mile journey in approximately 90 minutes and survives the intense heat of re-entry protected by a heat shield.

5:07 — After nearly five hours in space, Glenn safely returns to Earth; the U.S. Navy’s destroyer Noah recovers his capsule from the ocean.

The film begins with the first-ever interception of a missile by a missile — a Hawk versus an Honest John. The kill takes place at the 1:01 mark, and then it is shown in slow motion immediately following.

At 1:45, the film switches to show the Sparrow III anti-aircraft missile system aboard U.S. Navy aircraft at sea on the F3H-2 Demon and the F4H-1. 

The AIM-7 Sparrow is an American, medium-range semi-active radar homing air-to-air missile operated by the United States Air Force, United States Navy and United States Marine Corps, as well as other various air forces and navies. Sparrow and its derivatives were the West's principal beyond visual range (BVR) air-to-air missile from the late 1950s until the 1990s. It remains in service, although it is being phased out in aviation applications in favor of the more advanced AIM-120 AMRAAM. The Self-Defence Forces of Japan also employ the Sparrow missile, though it is being phased out and replaced by the Mitsubishi AAM-4. NATO pilots use the brevity code Fox One in radio communication to signal launch of a Semi-Active Radar Homing Missile such as the Sparrow.

Concurrently with the development of the Sparrow I, in 1951, Raytheon began work on the semi-active radar homing version of Sparrow family of missiles, the AAM-N-6 Sparrow III. The first of these weapons entered United States Navy service in 1958.

The AAM-N-6a was similar to the -6, but used a new Thiokol liquid-fuel rocket engine for improved performance. It also included changes to the guidance electronics to make it effective at higher closing speeds. The -6a was also selected to arm the Air Force's F-110A Spectre (F-4 Phantom) fighters in 1962, known to them as the AIM-101. It entered production in 1959, with 7500 being built.

During this year the Navy and Air Force agreed on standardized naming conventions for their missiles. The Sparrows bec...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1f2cb08b-f899-4b50-b039-6d071235a585/d3d6e651-0fc3-4e1d-9aaa-68b713d4c886-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/4RgX3sYZJamANDHEfwy1nB</video:player_loc><video:duration>248</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T18:59:57.047Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cS3eyYxLR7wxWuoLoK24DZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/fef95e39-f19d-4461-8916-80ebc3556b8f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>RAYTHEON HAWK SURFACE TO AIR MISSILE SYSTEM 50594a</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Dating from the early era of the Hawk Missile system, this promotional film details the capabilities of the surface-to-air missile, showing it destroying a series of target drones including targets flying at low level. At 1:00, the narrator describes the components of the Hawk system which include an Acquisition Group, a Guidance Group, and three launchers and nine missiles.

The Raytheon MIM-23 Hawk (standing for Homing All the Way Killer) is a U.S. medium-range surface-to-air missile. It was designed to be a much more mobile counterpart to the MIM-14 Nike Hercules, trading off range and altitude capability for a much smaller size and weight. Its low-level performance was greatly improved over Nike through the adoption of new radars and a continuous wave semi-active radar homing guidance system.

Hawk was originally intended to attack aircraft, especially those flying at medium and low altitudes. It entered service with the Army in this role in 1959. In 1971 it underwent a major improvement program as the Improved Hawk, or I-Hawk, which made several improvements to the missile and replaced all of the radar systems with new models. Improvements continued throughout the next twenty years, adding improved ECCM, a potential home-on-jam feature, and in 1995, a new warhead that made it capable against short-range tactical missiles. Jane's reported that the original system's single shot kill probability was 0.56; I-Hawk improved this to 0.85.

Hawk was superseded by the MIM-104 Patriot in US Army service by 1994. The last US user was the US Marine Corps, who used theirs until 2002 when they were replaced with the man-portable short-range FIM-92 Stinger. The missile was also produced outside the US in Western Europe, Japan and Iran. Although the U.S. never used the Hawk in combat, it has been employed numerous times by other nations. Approximately 40,000 of the missiles were produced.

The Douglas Aircraft Company presents “Birth of a Jet,” a circa 1958 16mm promotional movie for the Douglas DC-8 jetliner. The corporate/educational color film opens by touting jets as “the new symbol of commercial aviation” and we see a DC-8 jetliner streaking across the sky and flying past San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge (mark 01:08). Douglas has been a pioneer in aviation, the narrator remarks starting at mark 01:50, since the first flight of the DC-1 in 1933, followed by all the other aircraft in the line as their images appear on the screen. While Douglas also has made a number of contributions to the military such as with the Douglas X-3 Stiletto (mark 02:35), the A-F Skyhawk “Mighty Midge” and the F4D Skyray, the company remains committed to the commercial industry. Showing its manufacturing facility in Long Beach, California (shown at mark 03:45) the film captures the work on DC-8 jet airliners being conducted inside the plant. By mark 05:50, the film captures a new DC-8 being rolled out of a hanger in 1958. The narrator highlights many of the design elements of the aircraft before showing it make its first take-off run (mark 08:10). As the aircraft continues to roll off the production line, the narrator explains that crews also are undergoing training so routes can be established. Following a look at conceptual drawings and scenes of the interior decor (mark 09:55), ranging from the 122 seats in first class to 144 seats in the “tourist cabin” as well as a roomy lounge (mark 11:11). As the DC-8 is shown streaking across the sky the narrator explains that the final element of the aircraft is dependability as the film draws to a close. 

The Douglas DC-8 (also known as the McDonnell Douglas DC-8) is a four-engine long-range narrow-body jet airliner built from 1958 to 1972 by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Launched after the competing Boeing 707, the DC-8 nevertheless kept Douglas in a strong pos...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/88b4a352-3d91-428b-abd3-82d550b74b4d/676eabbe-7e4e-46fb-a72c-f51e8013825b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/hT6Ec2wNprrPrvj9F7G4KB</video:player_loc><video:duration>815</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T19:04:38.181Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2DB2qd9xATEdfHnZNWTyfZ</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/27aff39b-6312-45c8-bf7a-4f4ffc9b691b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>U.S. NAVY OPERATION SKI JUMP II &amp; OPERATION OIL DRUM ARCTIC OPERATIONS 28494a</video:title><video:description>As the Cold War dawned, U.S. military planners recognized that the "top of the world" that separated the Soviet Union and USA might be a potential battleground. Understanding capabilities in this region became paramount, fostering a number of activities. This 1952 U.S. Navy film shows one of them -- Operation Ski Jump II, which was a sequel to operations conducted in 1951 where 12 landings were made by aircraft on the arctic ice. The purpose of these tests was to establish how landings strips could be built, and heavy aircraft operated in the arctic, both maintained, and performing landings and take-offs. Ski-wheel installations were made on two Lockheed Neptune P2Vs, and a "flying laboratory" R4D support aircraft, by staff at the Navy base at Patuxent River, Maryland. These aircraft then transited to Point Barrow, Alaska (home of the Arctic Research Laboratory, Office of Naval Research) and then flown into the frozen north. The mission also included the building of a number of oceanographic research stations to assess sea ice conditions (as seen at 9:40).

At 14:22, one of the P2Vs is seen slightly damaged on landing on a short strip, and as a result of difficult ice conditions. At 16:00, the R4D is seen crashed on the ice after "running out of luck" on a take-off. The aircraft was abandoned and the crew rescued by the P2V. After the accident no more oceanographic research stations were established but surveys of ice conditions were made in the arctic including Greenland and the North Pole.

“The Magic Vault / Black Giant” is a black-and-white feature following an expedition with Commander George Dyott in the 1930s. (Dyott was a British pioneer aviator and explorer.) It opens with Dyott finding porters (mark 01:05) for his expedition to Tungurahua, the “Black Giant” volcano in Ecuador. Dyott recounts the expedition to the dormant volcano Tungurahua near Rio Bamba, Ecuador, where after weeks of preparation, a group of local porters agrees to help carry their packs. They trek through rugged terrain and mist, finally reaching a barren zone near the summit where steam begins to escape from the crater, revealing that the volcano is active. Upon reaching the 16,000-foot summit, they observe jets of steam and colorful volcanic formations. Suddenly, the volcano erupts violently, forcing the team to navigate through smoke, dust, and falling rocks as they search for missing members and prepare to descend. Before leaving, they witness molten lava rising rapidly within the crater, prompting a swift retreat. The eruption culminates in an awe-inspiring display of nature’s power, leaving the team both humbled and amazed. (Note: it's not clear when the eruption shown took place. Supposedly the only eruption in the early 20th Century was in 1916-18. Tungurahua was active in the 1930s, but not in a major eruptive phase like the periods of 1916-1918 or the 2006-2008 eruption.)

This post-WWII Soviet propaganda film (entirely in Russian) pays tribute to the role played by partisan groups in fighting the invading German Wehrmacht during the Great Patriotic War. The film includes rare footage and re-enactments depicting a variety of operations, from harassing German rear areas and supply lines, administering rough justice to persons who collaborated with the Germans (a firing squad is seen around 1:35), and working to re-assure Soviets in isolated and occupied areas that Stalin will liberate them. A Soviet newspaper is seen being published at 2:30. Field communications are seen at 2:57, and biplanes fly secret missions into German territory to support the partisans and deliver weapons at 3:20, as well as evacuate a wounded comrade. Women fighters are seen at 4:30 being decorated in the field, along with boys (one of them looks about age 10-12) who have joined the fighting forces.

The Soviet partisans were members of resistance movements that fought a guerrilla war against the Axis forces in the Soviet Union and the previously Soviet-occupied territories of interwar Poland in 1941–45. The activity emerged after the Nazi German Operation Barbarossa during World War II, and according to Great Soviet Encyclopedia it was coordinated and controlled by the Soviet government and modeled on that of the Red Army. The primary objective of the guerrilla warfare waged by the Soviet partisan units was the disruption of the Eastern Front's German rear, especially road and rail communications. There were also regular military formations called partisans, that were used to conduct long-range reconnaissance patrol missions behind Axis lines from the Soviet-held territory.

Please if you know the models leave information in the comments below thanks!

This film shows highlights of high speed car crash tests made in the late 1970s using crash test dummies, which include early versions of air bags. Although it's not well known, in the early 1970s both Ford and General Motors began offering cars equipped with airbags, initially in government fleet purchased Chevrolet automobiles. GM's Oldsmobile Toronado was the first domestic vehicle to include a passenger airbag. The automaker discontinued the option for its 1977 model year, citing lack of consumer interest. Ford and GM then spent years lobbying against air-bag requirements, claiming that the devices were unfeasible and inappropriate. Chrysler made a driver-side airbag standard on 1988-'89 models, but it was not until the early 1990s that airbags became widespread in American cars.

Anyone who wants to translate a bit of it for us and post details, is very welcome!

One of fifteen films made by beloved author Joseph Krumgold working with Norman Lourie, ISRAEL HOUSE IN THE DESERT won a medal for best documentary at the Venice Film Festival in 1948. The film was used to raise money and awareness in the United States about the plight of Jewish settlers in Palestine as part of the United Palestine Appeal of 1947-48. The film shows the difficult task of converting desert lands into viable farmland through irrigation and careful farming techniques. Although somewhat dramatized, the film is fairly accurate in terms of showing the co-operative farming efforts of the period, with settlers living in tents (11:10) performing back breaking labor in their struggle to make the land useful. At (12:50) a shabbat service is seen, and at 14:20 Arab neighbors are seen with the Israelis. At 14:30, a water pipeline is shown that ensures further agricultural development of the desert lands. By the end of the film the situation is greatly improved and tractors are being used to develop farmland which is now bountifully producing crops.

The author Jospeph Krumgold, who is most well known for his award-winning children's books, didn't turn to writing for this audience until mid life. He was born in 1908. His father Henry was a movie house operator and exhibitor and his older brother accompanied the silent films on organ. By the time Krumgold was 12 years old, he decided on a career in film. He wrote a number of screenplays in Hollywood when "talkies" first gained popularity between 1930-1945. An example of one of these films, Lady Behave, can be seen below. His first adult novel, Thanks to Murder, was published in 1935 by the Vanguard Press. Working in the Office of War Information during WW II, Krumgold became interested in traveling and documenting real places and people. This resulted in him producing several movies and dir...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4630f008-a3d3-46b8-9cf5-95144051ffc3/21c67ea3-0384-447c-95e6-e78e3d78bc73-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9EHu3nh7eNj26hDbksHBUF</video:player_loc><video:duration>1536</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T19:17:24.828Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xxDDBosiTkAco1p5ywsRMm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/84f587d8-515b-4250-96f2-689693b74720.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1959 SOUTH AFRICA TRAVELOGUE   LAND OF ENDEAVOR 50214</video:title><video:description>Disclaimer: This historic film was produced during the apartheid era in South Africa.

Life in Kuwait is the focus of this 1960s color educational film. The camera takes us through the streets starting at mark 01:45. “Kuwait. The place you’ve been hearing about,” the narrator proclaims. The film features a brief history of the country (mark 02:50) as a world map fills the screen, followed by desert scenes and images of oil pipelines and refineries. At mark 05:00 we see some of the items imported to Kuwait, everything from automobiles to razor blades. Some of that merchandise is shown in shops starting at mark 06:30, ranging from radios and televisions to accordions. The nation’s ruler, Abdullah III Al-Salim Al-Sabah, is shown at mark 07:34, and credited with making Kuwait “modern.” Following a discussion of state-of-the-art medical techniques the film tackles education including those with special needs such as sight impairment (mark 12:25). But the majority of Kuwait’s success relies on oil production, a topic discussed at length beginning at mark 17:53, followed by a discussion of how the country supplies water to its most arid regions (mark 20:10) to aid in crop production. “There you have a close-up on Kuwait,” the narrator says starting at mark 24:24, “bustling and vigorous, cosmopolitan and friendly.”

Kuwait is a country in Western Asia. Situated in the northern edge of Eastern Arabia at the tip of the Persian Gulf, it shares borders with Iraq and Saudi Arabia. As of 2016, Kuwait has a population of 4.2 million people; 1.3 million are Kuwaitis and 2.9 million are expatriates. Expatriates account for 70% of the population.

Oil reserves were discovered in 1938. From 1946 to 1982, the country underwent large-scale modernization. In the 1980s, Kuwait experienced a period of geopolitical instability and an economic crisis following the stock market crash. In 1990, Kuwait was invaded by Iraq. The Iraqi occupation came to an end in 1991 after military intervention by coalition forces.

A Pan American Airline flight lands at mark 01:30 while the film’s narrator explains how the “life” of an airport is planned in a control tower.  We see scenes of air traffic controllers as planes land from around the world, but the newest challenge for airports is the cargo aircraft. “Today anything … goes by air,” we’re told at mark 02:15 as a plane taxis along a runway. A TWA crew is shown loading a “speed pack” full of sea moss to the belly of an aircraft for transportation, and the film moves to a discussion of how sea moss is gathered, beginning at mark 02:50. Cars are shown loaded onboard an aircraft at mark 04:50 and then traveling down the streets of Paris, their final destination. At mark 06:54 we see an air transportation station in Brussels, this time for mail delivered by helicopter. From Johannesburg in southern Africa to Benghazi along the Mediterranean Sea, we’re told how cargo aircraft speed delivery to desperately needed medicines (including chloromycetin) across the African continent. Cargo aircraft are also used to move live animals (mark 13:40) around the world, as such animals as tiger cubs, leopard cubs, and elephants arrive in England. An air ambulance is shown rushing medical personnel to an injured youth and then on to a hospital for treatment, as the narrator explains at mark 20:18 that sometimes “cargo” means “life.”

Today, typewriters enable women and girls to perform military and industrial services as important as those performed by men,” the narrator explains starting at mark 00:26, as we see women seated at desks and typing away. From there, the film begins its history lesson, at mark 00:50 demonstrating the first typographer from 1829, followed by other devices including a Remington, an 1884 Hammond typewriter, and a portable Corona typewriter. We see a wide carriage typewriter at mark 01:40 followed by other devices including a card-punch typewriter. More scenes follow of women at typewriters as they’re commended for helping industry and the war effort via their work — though sometimes that work is hampered by a typewriter shortage and a shortage of “experienced personnel.” To combat that problem, we learn at mark 02:30, the film was created to demonstrate proper typing techniques “essential for superior typing.” From there the film follows an “international award-winning” typist as she puts her talents on display and offers a tutorial on the various types of machines available including those made by Remington, Royal, Underwood, Woodstock. Good posture is stressed at mark 04:43 as is foot placement on the floor for proper balance. The familiar lesson of finger placement on the “home row” of keys is addressed beginning at mark 09:40, as is a review of a fingering chart. 

A typewriter is a mechanical or electromechanical machine for writing in characters similar to those produced by printer's movable type by means of keyboard-operated types striking a ribbon to transfer ink or carbon impressions onto paper. Typically one character is printed on each keypress.

The film opens with the rhetorical question posed in the title, and the viewer is asked whether stone and metal buildings make a man, or does it come from knowledge, action, competition, or something else? All the while, images of young cadets and academic and athletic life fill the screen. “Does running make a man” asks the narrator at mark 02:28. It helps. As the film continues, the viewer learns that you have to run “a lot” at the academy. “If you can’t run a lot you’re going to have trouble your first year,” a cadet says in a voiceover. 

The running is accompanied by a lot of marching (mark 03:00) and the typical obstacles of basic training (starting at mark 03:35) where one’s individuality is replaced by “a later model — an Air Force type” — with the academy supplying all the tools needed for a new and improved you. All the while, scenes from basic training are shown on the screen as the questions continue: such as whether confidence or problem solving make a man … or aid in the transformation from civilian to cadet. Cadets also ponder what lays outside Earth … in space (mark 06:40). There are scenes of classroom instruction where cadet curriculum ranges from engineering to liberal arts studies “with the unique mission of producing Air Force officers” (mark 12:10), and of course a number of scenes of planes in flight. 

“Honor is keeping a bargain made with myself,” the narrator explains starting in mark 20:25. “It’s like a personal flag flying above a country that is me.” As the film draws to a close we’re asked whether “graduating will make a man” and we see scenes from an academy graduation ceremony starting at mark 21:45. Though the question is never definitively answered, it is implied that “the challenge offered at the United States Air Force Academy” can he...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2391e185-f914-4647-bb9b-256458fa04c9/9c36f145-3971-4c47-95ff-f2fa0558c656-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/5oKKD41NiiJQU1Nd9niX1n</video:player_loc><video:duration>1539</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T19:26:48.445Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/8HtwQ1y5DhtJzQ81oFNNuC</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/eee589e8-d396-4415-be72-64ba411c0574.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>INDY 500 &amp; DAYTONA 500 1963 LOTUS FORD RACECARS  89294</video:title><video:description>Presented by Ford Autolite Sparkplugs, this historic film shows the racing circuit circa 1963 beginning with the 1963 Daytona 500, the 5th running of the event held on February 24, 1963. The 1963 Daytona 500, won by beloved underdog Tony Lund  is one of the great stories in American motorsports. At 17:21, the film moves to the 1963 Indianapolis 500. with a focus on the new Lotus Fords. The film follows the Lotus team at the speedway and once the race begins, Clark and Gurney prove the Lotus not only can compete with the offys, they are a threat to win the race! At the end of the race Clark is runner-up behind (spoiler alert) winner Parnelli Jones by only 34 seconds! And -- "the Lotus Fords will run again." 

The 47th International 500-Mile Sweepstakes was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana on Thursday, May 30, 1963.

Parnelli Jones took his only Indy 500 win despite his car (nicknamed "Calhoun") spewing oil from a cracked overflow tank for many laps, which allegedly caused at least one driver to spin and crash. USAC officials put off black-flagging Jones after car owner J. C. Agajanian ran down pit lane and convinced them that the oil leak was below the level of a known crack and would not leak any further.[1] Lotus owner Colin Chapman, whose English-built, rear-engined Lotus-Ford finished second in the hands of Scotsman Jim Clark, accused USAC officials of being biased towards the American driver and car.

The non-black flagging of Jones remains controversial. Many, including Chapman and journalist and author Brock Yates, believed that had it been an American driver and car in second place instead of Clark in the British built Lotus, officials would have black flagged him.

Goodyear arrived at the track and supplied tires for some entries, but participated only in practice. No cars used Goodyear tires during time trials or the race itself. It was the first time since about 1921 that Goodyear attempted to compete at Indy.

The camera takes us into cramped spaces as drills make their way through the earth (mark 01:15) and coal hauled away on trolleys called shuttle cars. But the job of a shuttle car operator is one of the most dangerous in the coal mining industry, we’re told at mark 02:10, with one out of every seven transportation injuries involving shuttle car operators. To ensure safety the film discusses the importance of proper car maintenance and proper training of employees. Numerous scenes of shuttle cars in the bowels of the earth follow as the narrator continuously reminds the viewer of the importance of being vigilent and on the lookout for any physical hazards that may impede movement. Starting at mark 04:45 the film reminds of the viewer of those men who “paid with their lives” as crews are shown at work including checking ventilation shafts and removing hazards — though “failure to think about safety” leads to a (staged) fatality at mark 07:55. Other accidents follow, the result of workers too engaged in conversation and oblivious to changes in their underground environment, or those inadequately trained. If an operator is trained and alert, we’re told at mark 15:50, such tragedy can be averted.

First introduced in the 1930s, shuttle cars are batch haulage vehicles in the underground mining industry. Shuttle cars are designed to work as a system with continuous miners, efficiently removing cut material from the working face and maximizing the productivity of the entire section. Heavy-duty, high-power drive trains enable our shuttle cars to haul heavy loads in the most difficult conditions. Traction motors power the permanent four-wheel drive system. The cast pivot axles are virtually indestructible, while the heavy-duty conveyors and abrasion-resistant conveyor decking improve reliability and durability.

Although coffee comes from most of the countries of Central and South America, Brazil is the greatest producer we’re told beginning at mark 01:08, especially Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. With that we begin the journey from plantation to consumer and see the central mountain plateaus as they’re first cleared of trees and underbrush before workers plant their seeds. After a few transplantation, the trees are moved to a permanent location on the plantation (mark 03:55) where they will take five or six years to mature. The film shows a fully developed coffee tree at mark 05:23 and shows us workers harvesting their berries and sending them for cleaning. One of the seeds in the berries — the coffee bean — is eventually removed. By mark 10:50 we learn how the outer covering of the bean is removed and then placed in large bags. After a quick scenic tour of Sao Paulo, the film turns its focus to Santos (mark 13:35), a port city that will take coffee to the world. Office works check samples of beans (mark 15:00) and roasted to taste the flavor before the cargo is loaded onto ships. Arriving in New York at mark 15:50 the beans are shown being unloaded and again sampled by an importer before transfer to a roasting plant and stored. At mark 19:00, bags of coffee are shown making their way down a conveyor belt before ending their journey in an American kitchen.

This holds true for the Stroh’s Brewery Company, as the camera pans in on the company’s red brick at mark 01:30 and the film’s title fills the screen. Near mark 02:00 the camera takes us to a “recreation center” within the brewery as smartly dressed men and women mix and mingle over pitchers of “light lager beers” as the narrator offers a brief history of the company and its founder, Bernard Stroh. From there we learn of the “painstaking effort” that goes into glass of beer that’s poured. At mark 03:40 we’re taken inside a tour of the brewery and an explanation of the brewing process and we see images of wheat and barley plus “fresh sparkling water” that are among the natural ingredients in beer. The narrator tells us starting at mark 04:45 how Stroh’s is “America’s only fire-brewed beer” and how the process is designed “in the old, time-tested tradition” of the company. Following an explanation of the “unusual, expensive process,” the film continues with a visit to the Stroh’s brewhouse and the specialized equipment including grain tanks, mills, and fire-brewing kettles. Mark 08:00 begins a tour of the stock house and its more than 400 fermentation vats, where golden brew is seen being drawn from a vat at mark 08:20 for testing. After passing through filters, the beer is ready for packaging (mark 09:40) as we watch cans and bottles of Stroh’s make their way down conveyor belts — almost 5 million cans and bottles daily, the narrator says. With labels in place at mark 11:55, the film shows cases of bottles and cans being placed onto trucks and off to liquor stores and taverns. As the film comes to a close, the viewer is told how the company is more than just about producing beer; it’s also about promoting an active lifestyle through sports … like bowling (mark 1...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/57b9a29e-930c-491a-ab9b-b25ddeed2db8/88942ad1-f5a1-4a6f-bb5b-b84265b0a73d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bQi7FQtApocwcT5KREzYdY</video:player_loc><video:duration>961</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T19:32:23.714Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/bKF3Hy6rGefVMtfqeveyQR</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/008a3a0c-4a0b-48b9-ba4d-432ccfffd38e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970s SAUDI ARABIA  THE HAJJ MUSLIM PILGRIMAGE   TRAVELOGUE MOVIE 48134</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

The Exxon Corporation offered viewers a glimpse of “Saudi Arabia Today” in this color film. The country at this time was in the process of rapid change, we are told, but one moving with the times as it recognizes new opportunities. In spite of such changes, Saudi Arabia also maintains a traditional way of life. The film takes the viewer on an aerial view, showing shining skyscrapers and oil facilities at work. At mark 02:15 we see some of the development taking place as we visit construction sites, as well as a port used for the import and export of goods at mark 03:20. At mark 05:00 we visit an industrial park in Jubail, a city in the Eastern province on the Persian Gulf coast, which we learn is a cornerstone of the country’s industrial revolution relying heavily on oil. We learn of the Bedouin beginning at mark 06:20 and see members of the Saudi royal family as we learn about the kingdom’s monarchy. By mark 10:30 the film turns its focus to the Saudi’s devotion to Allah and a continued adherence to Islamic values, even amongst progressive change, and watches while pilgrims participate in their hajj to Mecca (mark 11:45). The film visits marketplaces, fields, and farms across the provinces, and beginning at mark 17:45 looks at its education program with various classroom scenes. That includes public education for girls and women (mark 19:25). There is a visit to an advanced hospital in Riyadh (mark 21:06) and scenes from an operating room before returning to a construction site at mark 22:00, talk of community planning in Riyadh (mark 23:00), and a look at a traditional camel race (mark 24:30) as the film nears its conclusion.

At 52 seconds, you will see the Government Camp set up at Shafter, California. Here the flood of migrants were able to recieve jobs in the agricultural industry, including a wide cross-section of people—young and old, men and women, rural and urban people. Shafter Camp owed its existence to FDR's New Deal and the Resettlement Administration (RA), and later the FSA, which in 1935 began to establish migratory labor camps to house the destitute migrants. Many migrants living in cars, tents, and shacks along “ditchbank” settlements were attracted to the sanitary, newly constructed camps located along a 600-mile-long corridor through central California  Shafter was one of the first such camps. 

At 1:25 the El Solyo Ranch is shown, where diversified farming ensured year-round employment for lucky Okies. El Solyo Ranch had its own store, office, supplies and bunkhouses for the workers. It was run from camps or centers, had its own mess halls to feed people year-round and boasted a fleet that included 10 diesel tractors, 12 trucks and 20 automobiles. At 4:00, black walnut trees are shown being grafted with English walnut trees. The citrus harvest is seen at 6:30. Irrigation canals are seen at the 8 minute mark, yeilding 4500 acres of plenty.

Opening with shots of the far southern United States, the picture cuts to a Native American village (mark 00:46) where men and women go about their daily routines of cleaning, doing laundry, and other chores. At mark 01:40, one of the men receives an invitation to the end of summer Indian festival and the man and his son began preparations. The young boy tries to learn a native hoop dance at mark 03:05, before being shown how it properly performed (mark 03:35). As the film continues, the man explains the ways of the Pueblo people to his son (and the audience) starting at mark 04:45 — a peaceful people whose homes began in high cliffs before moving into the valleys. “We have defended our homes against the war makers but never have we gone out to make war on others for the glory of combat,” he explains. As he speaks we see scenes of men and women making pottery or working in the fields of the Rio Grande Valley in Texas as Native American songs play in the background. After harvesting corn and wheat beginning at mark 07:35, the narrator explains how it is important not to waste anything from a harvest as “waste is the brother of famine.” We see life inside a classroom (mark 09:55) as other young men learn a trade and participate in other native dances (mark 12:30). At mark 16:55, discussion returns to the time of the Native American festival in Gallup, New Mexico — an annual event where representatives of all Native American tribes gather to celebrate. Beginning at mark 18:20, the film shows Pueblos, Navajos, Comanches, Apaches, Hopis, and several other tribes — “all one great people” — participating in the celebration as crowds line the streets. 

The Pueblo peoples are Native Americans in the Southwestern United States who have in common their style of living in towns constructed of adobe, stone and other local materials; their buildings are constructed as compl...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8dbe5d87-568b-4860-9055-8fc327ad4c27/7651e2df-d686-449b-9e96-80bd1001b0e5-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ivbrZ1iqmjPLdfXehN6K46</video:player_loc><video:duration>1329</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T19:40:11.062Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/m1LxvPG7jfmExEQG6ZzfMz</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/0a1b80df-cb30-46d7-9cbd-7f5c29d3b601.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>KLM ROYAL DUTCH AIRLINES  AIR FREIGHT 1950s LOOK AT AIR TRANSPORT 48684</video:title><video:description>KLM Royal Dutch Airlines presents “Air Freight,” a black-and-white promotional film designed to inform the viewer of that particular business mode. “This most modern form is transport” is used to provide consumers with a variety of items including those found on breakfast tables each morning. Mark 01:23 takes the viewer to an airport in Amsterdam where KLM Royal Dutch Airlines annual handles 15,000 tons of freight, including birds, monkeys, horses, lions, and tigers. Various varieties of flowers are packed and loaded beginning at mark 04:48 for a journey from Holland to a New York City florist, and as the film continues we see other products ranging from colorful fabrics to be used as tropical dresses to furs for use in the colder climates of Canada. At mark 06:30 a man admires a piece of art — shipped to a museum via air freight — while at mark 07:35 we’re taken to Paris to see some French perfume that will be on its way to other locations. No matter the spot on the globe, the narrator explains, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines can get the product there. At mark 10:00 we take a look at the company’s freight department in Calcutta, India, as such exotic animals as tigers and elephants are processed, and at mark 12:30 a plane delivers a piston to s ship stranded at sea. There’s nothing too small or too big, as at mark 16:55 a car is loaded onboard an airplane for transport. Air freight also serves humanity, the narrator says at mark 18:50, as we see hospitalized children who will benefit from needed medication rushed by air. “Air freight pays,” concludes the narrator at mark 21:49, “for shipping your goods by air means less packing material, less storage room, and lower insurance premiums.”

Launched in March 1972, the spacecraft took a 21-month, 620-million-mile journey to Jupiter, during which Pioneer penetrated the previously unexplored asteroid belt without mishap, eliminating the long held fear that high-speed particles or huge asteroids might destroy the spacecraft. 

This film tells of the findings recorded by the scientific instruments and cameras onboard. We see its unmistakeable great red spot (mark 01:30) and various animations before seeing Gerard Kuiper, considered by many to be the father of modern planetary science, who shares a number of his photographs. The actual launch of the spacecraft is shown at mark 09:33, followed by several animations of Pioneer 10 mixed with scenes from mission control. Grainy images — gathered from scans taken by the spacecraft — are shown on a monitor at mark 14:22. The narrator speculates whether some form for life exists beneath the planet’s thick clouds, with astronomer Carl Sagan detailing the possible reasons why beginning at mark 15:22. At mark 16:05 we see the familiar “picture postcard of what nude human female an male bodies look like as well as Earth’s location in the galaxy. For the first time ever, we see “crescent” images of Jupiter (mark 22:20). Even more animations follow as the narrator explains how more mysteries are waiting to be unlocked. 

After leaving the Jovian system and wandering endlessly through the Milky Way galaxy, carrying a message for possible extraterrestrial beings, radio communications were lost with Pioneer 10 in 2003.

This exciting promotional film for Pan Am's new "double deck Clipper", the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, was made in the last 1940s as the airplane entered worldwide service. Although the film is extremely persuasive about the aircraft's capabilities, the 377 was a disappointment for Boeing with only 55 aircraft plus prototype built before its production was cancelled. The plane suffered from a poor safety record (including a crash-landing at sea in the Pacific documented elsewhere on our Youtube channel) and 11 out of the 56 aircraft produced were lost in accidents through 1960.

The film includes some rare footage from Pan Am's history (including some awkward model shots of early aircraf) beginning at the 8:00 mark. The Consolidated Commodore Flying Boat is seen at 8:30, and the Sikorsky S-42 Brazilian Clipper is seen at 8:50. Check out the shots of the swimsuit-clad men removing the plane's landing gear! The China Clipper Martin M-130 is seen at 9:23 and the Boeing 307 at 9:30. The Boeing Model 307 Stratoliner was the first commercial transport aircraft to enter service with a pressurized cabin. The Boeing 314 is seen at 9:50, and the Douglas DC-4 at 9:58 as well as a Lockheed Constellation or Connie.

The Boeing B-17 "Buck Shot" is seen at the 10:58 mark followed by the B-29 and B-50 aircraft. 

The film includes footage of trans-Atlantic routes, and a trip to Brazil and Hawaii by Pan American.

The Boeing 377 Stratocruiser was a large long-range airliner developed from the C-97 Stratofreighter military transport, a derivative of the B-29 Superfortress. The Stratocruiser's first flight was on July 8, 1947. Its design was advanced for its day; its innovative features included two passenger decks and a pressurized cabin, a relatively new feature on transport aircraft. It could carry up to 100 passengers on the main deck plus 14 in the lower deck lounge; typical seating was for 63 or 84 passengers or 28 be...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/16d18df4-aaf0-445e-9cdf-66955ed69623/d34dff77-4f96-4c49-9a7d-4efdc1c00a3d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3PqRQemzoeSuh6etKYdZTi</video:player_loc><video:duration>1494</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T19:49:31.109Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/kmgumr9N6KLh3Et529AUto</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/bc0d5963-f4ad-44fa-a3a0-ece6c2e9b736.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>SIKORSKY AIRCRAFT HELICOPTER OPERATIONS IN KOREAN WAR 49094</video:title><video:description>“The Guardian Angel” is a black-and-white Sikorsky Aircraft film (made in cooperation with the US Department of Defense) that tells the viewer of helicopter operations during the Korean War. It opens onboard the USS Missouri (BB-63) at mark 00:30 followed by several destroyers as they cut through the water and launch an R-5 helicopter for a man-overboard call. Helicopters are also shown being used to transport men from ship to ship. They can travel slowly over sea or land, we’re told, or hover over a site for closer inspection. Marine Corps General Lemuel C. Shepherd emerges from a helicopter at mark 03:35 in Korea, while another is shown delivering supplies to hilltop Marines in combat. Wounded are carried to a waiting helicopter at mark 05:19, General Hoyt Vandenberg, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, is shown using one at mark 07:35, peace treating negotiating teams use a Sikorsky H-19 helicopter on a mission to Kaesong, North Korea at mark 08:30.

The Sikorsky H-5, (initially designated R-5 and also known as S-48, S-51 and by company designation VS-327 was a helicopter built by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation.

It was used by the United States Air Force, and its predecessor, the United States Army Air Forces, as well as the United States Navy and United States Coast Guard (with the designations HO2S and HO3S). It was also used by the United States Post Office Department.

In December 1946, an agreement was signed between the British company Westland Aircraft and Sikorsky to produce a British version of the H-5, to be manufactured under license in Britain as the Westland-Sikorsky WS-51 Dragonfly. By the time production ceased in 1951, more than 300 examples of all types of the H-5 had been built.

The Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw, (sold commercially under its Sikorsky model number, S-55) was a multi-purpose helicopter used by the United States Army and United States Air Force.

JOHN PAUL STAPP 49204</video:title><video:description>"U.S. Air Force School Of Aviation Medicine” is a 1958 black-and-white episode of the CBS news magazine show “The Search,” hosted by Charles Romine. The episode focuses on man’s desire to fly faster, farther, and higher than anyone else and the strange problems test pilots encounter in this endeavor (mark 01:45). It opens with a test pilot at Randolph Air Force Base in Texas partaking in an experiment designed to determine the limits of human endurance in flight, followed by an explanation of “aviation medicine” before moving on to a look at the flight suit (mark 05:35) pilots wear to combat changes in air pressure while flying, including a “G-suit.” Mark 09:15 begins an explanation of how to eject a pilot from a jet traveling at supersonic speed, with film footage accompanying the narration.

At mark 12:00, the film turns its focus to Colonel John Paul Stapp, who set a record speed of 632 mph in five seconds on December 10, 1954 when he traveled in a rocket-propelled sled, Sonic Wind no. 1, at the air research and development command’s test center at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. Romine interviews Stapp beginning at mark 14:27, and at mark 17:17 takes a look at the field of “space medicine” — predicting that “within the next 50 years man will not only make routine flights under space conditions in the vicinity of the Earth but that he will travel to or around the moon” — and how they will deal with weightlessness in their “rocket ship.”

Colonel John Paul Stapp, (July 11, 1910 – November 13, 1999) M.D., Ph.D., was an American career U.S. Air Force officer, flight surgeon, physician, biophysicist, and pioneer in studying the effects of acceleration and deceleration forces on humans. He was a colleague and contemporary of Chuck Yeager, and became known as "the fastest man on earth". Stapp is also known as one of the fathers of "Murphy's Law" because he was involved in the discovery of the Law at Muroc Air Force Base in the 1940s.

This early laser technology film; “Lasers Unlimited” showcases the pioneering era of laser technology at AT&amp;T / Bell Labs. It shows the rapid development and diverse use of lasers introduced only years prior to this film. Various uses are displayed including early laser tattoo and skin anomaly removal, removal of barcodes on railroad cars, cutting microprocessor / microcircuit boards as well as assistance with aircraft production. Holograms and holographic studies are included as well as exploration of their future use. Laser’s emit light through optical amplification based on stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. The first laser was introduced in 1960 by Theodore H. Maiman. It opens with fun sci/fi images of lasers and exploding buildings (:12). This film was written by Robert Rosencrans (:40) directed by Wallace Bennet (:43) and produced by Jerry Fairbanks (:49). Ordinary light beams are explained (:55). A narrow beam is sent through a prism (1:03); a rainbow erupts. The light of a laser beam is compared (1:10). The science fiction film industry quickly embraced the laser (1:26). The medical industry then embraced laser technology (1:44). A tattoo is removed using lasers (1:49). The use of laser technology for skin abnormality follows (2:01). The simulation of emission of radiation is shown (2:26). Progress of the laser is shown (2:58) resulting eventually in a miniature electronic circuit (2:59). New methods to produce the laser beam were developed (3:10). Progress in industry and medicine are captured at the New York’s Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center (3:37).

As he explains, much of Brick's footage was seized by the U.S. Government as the extent of the damage to the U.S. Pacific Fleet had to be concealed from the American public and the world-at-large for national security reasons. By 1942, with the Japanese reeling from the Battle of Midway and no longer launching offensive naval operations, and with America's fleet on the move, release of the footage was allowed. The film, narrated by the famed commentator Lowell Thomas, contains footage of the Japanese attack and aftermath, including the devastating explosion on board the USS Arizona at the 1:30 mark. At 2:50, the USS West Virginia is seen and the USS Tennessee, as well as the capsized USS Oklahoma. USS Nevada is seen at the 3:17 mark. At 3:30, destroyers are seen sunk at anchor, and a seaplane base is shown utterly wiped out. Hickham Field is seen at 4:00. At 4:47, the recovery effort at Pearl is seen with the Tennessee and West Virginia, and USS Nevada, being salvaged and re-floated, as well as USS California at 5:30. The Nevada, California and West Virginia are all seen rejoining the fleet in the "year after Pearl Harbor". 

Much of the footage seen in this film was also used in John Ford's epic propaganda film "December 7th" which you can find elsewhere on our channel.

Pizor, “Isle of Isolation: Bali” takes the viewer to the 1930s-era Indonesian island. It offers a vivid portrait of Bali, an island in the Dutch East Indies, known for its unique culture, beauty, and traditions. Though geographically close to Java, Bali stands apart with its distinct Hindu heritage and matriarchal society where women dominate daily life and exude grace and independence. The island's fertile rice fields are meticulously maintained, and its markets brim with vibrant, ageless women. Men, more laid-back, are often absorbed in rooster fighting, a popular pastime involving deadly, high-stakes matches. Traditional cremation rituals are elaborate and delayed until the eldest family member passes, featuring symbolic offerings, music, and dance. The film highlights captivating performances by young dancers and musicians, seen not merely as entertainment but as sacred expressions of Balinese spirituality. With its enchanting customs, artistry, and unspoiled charm, Bali is depicted as a paradise, deeply rooted in tradition and reverence for beauty in everyday life.

The film includes a lengthy segment about the famed WWII "ghost bomber" Lady Be Good (see below).  The Moody Institute of Science was a production company spun off from the fundamentalist Moody Bible Institute, and its films (including this one) always examine God's role in man's affairs with the underlying message that God is responsible. The film ends with a discussion of the importance of the Bible and notes that "faith is the difference between life and death."

The film is notable for explaining vertigo and disorientation that can occur in flight, especially when the horizon is obscured by clouds, weather or darkness. It includes footage of several crash sites and an eerie air traffic control recording (at 9:15) of a fatal spin caused by an unqualified pilot who could not fly by instruments. A crash investigator discusses the issue of visual overload, and the reliance that pilots must have on instruments rather than their own physical feelings about their orientation.

At 5:57, barnstorming pilots are seen performing a variety of stunts and Cliff Winters flies into a building at 6:20. At 7:30, a search and rescue mission is seen looking for a plane lost in the mountains near Los Angeles. At 17:07, astronaut John Glenn discusses the problems of the human inner ear, and the need to have faith in instruments. 

At 19:14, the story of the Lady Be Good is told, and the crash site visited in Libya. Lady Be Good was an USAAF B-24D Liberator that disappeared without a trace on its first combat mission during World War II. The plane, which was from 376th Bomb Group, was believed to have been lost - with its nine-man crew - in the Mediterranean Sea while returning to its base in Libya following a bombing raid on Naples on April 4, 1943. However, the wreck was accidentally discovered 710 km (440 mi) inland ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6d839573-b106-4138-b85a-cc78e9c538ed/32b681a1-323c-49bb-9655-b631bdb580ff-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/ewmeqQb7qehA6QXzWbmCE2</video:player_loc><video:duration>1727</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T20:00:55.182Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/tter68qM1Whh6p2KBXt1zY</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e000f571-bf03-47dc-b5dd-0c7873261064.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1970 VIETNAM WAR PROTESTS IN WASHINGTON D.C.  MAY 9, 1970 MARCH ON WHITE HOUSE 49614</video:title><video:description>This 16mm film, a home movie shot on May 9-10, 1970, shows a march on the White House. The march took place a week after the Kent State shootings, and 100,000 demonstrators converged on Washington to protest the shootings and President Richard Nixon's incursion into Cambodia.After the march, a few hundred militants spread through surrounding streets, causing limited damage. Police attacked the most threatening crowds with tear gas and made a number of arrests, including the one seen at the 12 minute mark of a white, Black Panther sympathizer. 

You'll also see signs in the crowd in support of Bobby Seale, the Black Panther activist who was in prison at the time after engaging in protests at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. He and seven other defendants, thereafter known as the Chicago Seven,  were tried for conspiracy to incite riots in a circus-like atmosphere that resulted in Seale being sentenced to four years in prison for contempt of court .

This was the 58th annual parade, with Bob Hope as grand marshall (see about 1:20 mark).

The Rose Parade, also known as the Tournament of Roses and the Rose Parade presented by Honda, is part of "America's New Year Celebration" held in Pasadena, California each year on New Year's Day (or on Monday, January 2 if New Year's Day falls on a Sunday). The parade includes flower-covered floats, marching bands, and equestrian units and is followed by the Rose Bowl college football game. It is produced by the nonprofit Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association.

Originally started on January 1, 1890, the Rose Parade is watched in person by hundreds of thousands of spectators on the parade route, and is broadcast on multiple television networks in the United States. It is seen by millions more on television worldwide in more than 100 international territories and countries. The Rose Bowl is a college football game that was added in 1902 to help fund the cost of staging the parade. Since 2011, the parade has been sponsored by Honda. Accordingly, the company has the parade's first float, which like all floats, follows the parade's theme.

The Official War Department (:10) produced this sex education film titled “Fight Syphilis”. The film was written by Oscar Saul, an American screenwriter with a forty year career spanning from 1940 to the 1980's. The film portrays the fight against syphilis similarly to a living villain. Sexually transmitted diseases spread rapidly among the troops as wars spread overseas. Issues of sexual hygiene in the military drew the U.S. government’s attention resulting in an influx of sexual education films .At the time treatment consisted of sulfa drugs and penicillin. Syphilis was a particularly difficult bawdy bug to treat resulting in heavy losses of time for the Army. Treatment was a grueling six month ordeal. The film opens with a parallel story of two expecting fathers. One pats a happy healthy newborn bottom while the other confronts a sick wife and empty nursery due to the syphilis bug. It details tales of men falling ill or going mad from untreated disease as well as night scenes of dingy bars and dark alleys sexually transmitted diseases linger in. The film is presented by the US Public Health Services Federal Security Agency (:27). American character actor; Arnold moss narrates (:44). The film opens with scenes from the general hospital (1:00). Two fathers await news in the paternity wing (1:13). The nurse (2:12) informs a father the newborn is a boy (2:31). A doctor approaches another father in the waiting room (3:07).

Using animation to show what happens during exposure, explains process of exposing foods to radiation.

Food irradiation as shown in the film is the process of exposing foodstuffs to ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation is energy that can be transmitted without direct contact (radiation) capable of freeing electrons from their atomic bonds (ionization) in the targeted food. This treatment is used to preserve food, reduce the risk of food borne illness, prevent the spread of invasive pests, and delay or eliminate sprouting or ripening. Irradiated food does not become radioactive. The radiation can be emitted by a radioactive substance or generated electrically.

Irradiation is also used for non-food applications, such as medical devices.

Although consumer perception of foods treated with irradiation is more negative than those processed by other means, a large amount of independent research has confirmed irradiation to be safe. One family of chemicals is uniquely formed by irradiation, and this product is nontoxic. When irradiating food, all other chemicals occur in a lower or comparable frequency to other food processing techniques.

Food irradiation is permitted by over 60 countries, with about 500,000 metric tons of food annually processed worldwide. The regulations that dictate how food is to be irradiated, as well as the food allowed to be irradiated, vary greatly from country to country. In Austria, Germany, and many other countries of the European Union only dried herbs, spices, and seasonings can be processed with irradiation and only at a specific dose, while in Brazil all foods are allowed at any dose

The 1950s film shows fisherman heading out for the day’s catch while families live in their straw huts. On Luzon, residents carve elaborate likenesses for the tourist trade (mark 01:00) while others perform a native bamboo dance (mark 01:30) or gather coconuts to be used for soap, oil, or food. Getting to the islands is easy, the view is reminded at mark 03:00, thanks to modern airlines. Several scenes of Filipinos at work in fields or plantations follow as the narrator explains working and living in the Philippines, and at mark 07:50 we learn how lumber is a major export of the island.

The film gives an historical survey of the old historic European concept of "unity with difference" and emphasizes the present day realization that, in order to survive, Europe must abolish differences and achieve unity. The Marshall Plan, the Schuman Plan, the European Payments Plan, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Council of Europe are briefly covered. Through the intervention and help of America, Europe has risen from the waste for the common good. Where once individual countries were very separate, the Marshall plan has helped to open them up in terms of trade and co-operation, and with NATO Europe and North America can co-operate together in the mutual building and strengthening of a united Europe and helping to keep peace.The film reflects on Europe's rich cultural and geographic diversity, its historical divisions, and the enduring aspiration for unity. Despite centuries of conflict, separation, and war, Europeans have shared a common legacy of art, science, and democratic ideals. After the devastation of two world wars, the continent faced a harsh reality: its survival and future prosperity depended on cooperation, not isolation. The Marshall Plan and initiatives like the Schuman Plan and NATO marked critical steps toward rebuilding Europe through shared economic effort and collective defense. The film calls for a united Europe—not just politically or economically, but in spirit and action—urging the removal of barriers to unleash Europe's full potential. It ends with a hopeful vision that through unity, Europe can not only rebuild itself but contribute to the greater unity of mankind.0:00 Main titles – Europe is introduced as a diverse and ancient continent, historically described as "the land of the setting sun," ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5c2212c9-a52f-4431-b94b-2aff2e51efdf/0ecc0dcd-2227-4b23-af0d-40f42c4e794d-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/cnSbRJvzD57aoh2zTm8iXe</video:player_loc><video:duration>1240</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T20:12:02.455Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/1UBsr5mNJh2nt8sVMmFVvt</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/4274901d-2777-4ea1-8cc9-2a1fadcb8409.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1920s KROEHLER FURNITURE COMPANY SILENT PROMOTIONAL FILM  PART 2 49314</video:title><video:description>Made by the Koehler Manufacturing Co., a Naperville-based furniture maker, this silent promotional film tells the story of the company and it's product's "Hidden Qualities". The film showcases a variety of mass-produced furnishings, all made through a version of the assembly line process that nevertheless produced a high-quality end product. Hardwood made up the frames, steel the springs, and strong fabrics were used for upholstery. The film provides an interesting insight into manufacturing processes in the pre-WWII era.

This film begins with a focus on the high quality Spanish moss used as stuffing material, and then turns it attention to the steel wire and hard wood, as well as superior fabrics, used to make up the springs and frames of the furniture.

The film, one of the earliest to be made by the Jam Handy Organization, is not quite complete but compelling nonetheless.

Background on this: in 1902, Peter E. Kroehler started the Naperville Lounge Co., a maker of wooden lounge chairs and upholstered furniture. Kroehler built a new factory in Naperville in 1913 after the original facility was destroyed by a tornado. Soon thereafter, he renamed the company Kroehler Manufacturing Co. This enterprise soon operated across the country and employed several hundred men and women in the Chicago area. By the middle of the 1940s, with over $20 million in annual sales, Kroehler was the second-largest furniture maker in the United States. During the 1960s, when the company employed close to 8,000 people around the country, annual revenues passed $100 million. The company struggled during the 1970s, closing its historic Naperville factory in 1978 and ending its operations in the area. In 1981 Kroehler was acquired by the ATR Group of Northbrook, which put the com- pany up for sale. By the early 2000s, furniture was still manufactured under the Kroehler name by two unrelated companies, one in North Carolina and the other in Ontario, Canada

This promotional film (circa 1960s) for the Bofors 20 mm L/70 automatic gun introduces a tracked armored carrier that significantly enhances the efficiency of armored infantry by offering versatile combat support roles, including troop transport, medical evacuation, and use as a command vehicle. A key feature showcased is a newly developed 20 mm turret gun mounted in a 15 mm armored dome, designed with comprehensive protection, gas-tight sealing, and all-round visibility for the gunner. The turret allows for both ground and anti-aircraft engagement, with effective fire against light armored vehicles, machine gun positions, and helicopters. It includes advanced aiming mechanisms with fine and coarse traversing gears, electromechanical firing controls, and a magazine system holding 80 rounds. Two ammunition types are featured: high-explosive and armor-piercing, both with high muzzle velocity and reliable dispersion performance. Weighing 700 kg, the dome can be mounted on various platforms, including patrol vessels, tanks, and armored cars. Built for rugged use, it withstands heavy firing while ensuring protection for the gunner and weapon, meeting both current tactical demands and future combat expectations. (Note: The weapon shown is a distant relative of the famous Bofors 40 mm L/60 anti air gun, aka the "Bofors gun". The 40 mm L/60 is an anti-aircraft/multi-purpose autocannon designed in the 1930s and was one of the most popular medium-weight anti-aircraft systems during World War II, used by most of the western Allies as well as by the Axis powers.)

This film "The Control of Scarlet Fever" (Part 2) was made by the University of Chicago; under a grant provided by Lederle Laboratories. The film aims to present the diagnosis and treatment of this notorious bacterial illness characterized by a feverish flushed face, sore throat and red rash. The illness was prominent in the late 1880's, a widespread pandemic later erupted in the 1920's and it remained prominent well into the 1950's. The discovery of penicillin greatly affected recovery and treatment of Scarlet fever. This feature details the administration of the antitoxin as well as the Dick test. Gladys and George Dick; American bacteriologists, worked to develop a vaccine for scarlet fever in the 1920's resulting in the name; the Dick test. This is the second feature of a three part series. It opens with methods of prevention (:17). Proper technique for the Dick test begins with distilled water (:35). Utensils for the test are soaked (:49) and sanitized over a flame (1:05). A patients arms are wiped with alcohol (1:38). Institutional set up (1:51) shows proper procedure for washing the arms to be tested. The needle and syringe are sanitized (2:37). The pair are married (3:16), following cleansing. This test includes an intradermal injection of 1/10 cc of the skin test solution. The shot is administered (3:45) in both arms for accuracy (4:04). The needle is broken down and cleaned (4:38). A second test is administered (4:54). Throat and nose cultures are collected (5:35) to discern who might be a carrier during the event of an epidemic. A young boy gets a swab up the nostril (5:40). How to read the test is detailed; a red dot app...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/79f69a8c-0643-4f2d-8a78-2a730a96b707/6a2f04e3-f144-4bf4-8f32-6f4f04972605-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/g4vFzVwAaLQsPuBXk3iJVV</video:player_loc><video:duration>1007</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T20:15:49.161Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qvbeVZA6SyXCP5JhXNobn6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/eae3f13a-a7f0-4ebb-b422-2dc2e45fd0b3.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>F-104 STARFIGHTER ZERO LENGTH TAKE OFF FILM " ZELL FOR DEFENSE " 49384</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

Made during the Cold War, this historic film in German shows the F-104 Starfighter being tested as part of SATS, Short Air Field for Tactical Support or SATS and its counterpart the ZELL program. The zero-length launch system or zero-length take-off system (ZLL, ZLTO, ZEL, ZELL) was a system whereby jet fighters and attack aircraft were intended to be placed on large JATO rockets attached to mobile launch platforms. Most zero length launch experiments took place in the 1950s, during the Cold War. Both SATS and ZELL fell victim to the revised NATO strategy "Flexible Response" and were therefore not pursued beyond the test programs.

For more information see: http://www.rolfferch.de/F104G/html/projekte.html

SATS was a test program for take-off and landing on short tracks with the help of catapults and catch hooks, similar to aircraft carriers. Three German F-104Gs were modified accordingly, including a reinforcement of the landing gear and the installation of two catapult hooks. The tests were carried out at the Naval Air Test Facility in Lakehurst, USA. In total, a few hundred take-offs and landings were successfully completed. Indirectly, this later led to the introduction of fishing facilities at federal jet airports. 

A SATS airfield included the start-up caterpillar and two LM 1500 gas engines (J79 ​​engine gas generators), a runway with landing gear and the usual airfield facilities. This track consisted of aluminum plates that could be laid quickly. In 1962/63, an F-104G use of SATS was tested by the Naval Air System Command and the serial numbers 8007 (23 + 32), 2080 (20 + 68) and 9005 (25 + Changes and requirements and a further improved SATS system. Over 500 catapulting operations were carried out without accident and major problems. SATS-fishing facility It could be shown that the technical modifications met the requirements.

The Coffee Publicity Association presents viewers the cultivation of coffee plants beginning with the harvest process, the sorting of the beans, and the process of turning the fruit into a commercial product. The film is based in Brazil and it was likely part of a promotional campaign to encourage more viewers to purchase the commodity. MacDonald Hobley; a notable British actor and writer, provides commentary for the film (:36). Two cultivators sift through dirt in a Brazil coffee farm (:49). Small coffee trees are tended to (1:02). Seedlings are protected from direct sunlight (1:06). Tall fruit bearing trees stand at five years of age (1:13). White flowers appear on the branches (1:20). A female Brazilian plucks fruit from the trees (1:34). A close shot shows the colorful beans in a basket (1:43). Brazilian coffee farm hands stand by large piles of the sorted beans (1:48); these are set out to dry naturally in the sun. MacDonald notes the US was the largest consumer of coffee (2:07). Sacks of the beans are weighed (2:08). Locals carry large sacks atop their heads (2:19). Tons of the crop are loaded onto a cargo ship bound for the London docks (2:48). Sacks of coffee beans are unloaded from cargo ships in dry weather (3:10). Dock workers receive the goods (3:51). The narrator notes Turkish traditions which include coffee (4:00). Bags are marked for London (4:20). The load is transported to Hay’s Wharf (4:28). A crane moves the goods with the city buildings of London behind the workers (4:49). Wholesale merchant’s tasters conduct a sampling of the coffee (5:01). The beans are lifted to the nose to check aroma (5:55).

She boards the Lockheed Constellation TWA “Star of Minnesota” and takes off for a 47-day tour. She lands in Paris at mark 01:49 and we quickly see the Eiffel Tower (mark 02:11), the Arc de Triomphe (mark 02:30), and the Louvre Museum (mark 02:53) including the Mona Lisa (mark 03:17). Later we see a show at the Moulin Rouge (mark 04:11) and visit Notre Dame (mark 04:45) as the narrator reminds the viewer that the structure is not just some “historical monument” but a “living church.” The tour mingles with locals before taking a chartered coach to the French Riviera (mark 07:20). They visit Monte Carlo (09:13) and then move into Italy and Rome at mark 09:20, visiting Vatican City (mark 10:33), the ruins of the Forum (mark 10:49), and the Coliseum (mark 11:00), and later the Florence Baptistery (mark 12:20). The tour continues in Venice (mark 17:05) and a gondola trip. A train takes the tour into Switzerland and onto the Matterhorn (mar 20:52) for some snow-covered excitement. After attending some lectures the group moves on to Geneva before boarding another TWA plane for London (mark 26:35). The Houses of Parliament (mark 26:44), Piccadilly Circus, Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London (mark 27:00) where “history came to life” while speaking with a “Beefeater” before seeing Buckingham Palace and the famed changing of the guard. As the film draws to a close, we see the birthplace of William Shakespeare at Stratford-upon-Avon (mark 28:00) before returning to Paris for the return home.

It opens with heavy machinery cutting through tall grasses (mark 00:40) in East Africa as the narrator explains those lands will soon be developed “into an estate of mature tea.” But it is a long, costly process — not unlike fighting a war, we are told, and we see men hack their way through dense jungle growth. Now looking at a flat expanse (mark 02:08) the narrator discusses the importance of selecting a location for a nursery close to a perennial source of water and then digging trenches. We learn of flowering tea bushes and larger trees and how the fallen seeds are collected by local children to provide them with “pocket money.” The seeds are transferred to the nursery and within a few months healthy plants begin to poke their way from the ground (mark 04:25). After two years plants are moved to a garden as scenes from a Ceylon nursery play out (mark 05:05). The ground is weeded and pants are pruned, and at mark 09:40 we hear of the importance of growing shade trees to protect the plants from burning in the sun. 

Tea grows best in hot, tropical regions, we’re told starting at mark 11:10, with a high annual rainfall. “Wet and warm describes a bad cup of tea and a good tea growing climate,” says the narrator, with more flavorful tea growing in higher altitudes. We watch skilled “pluckers” collect tea leaves (mark 15:00) and transported to factories (mark 16:30) where we see the process in which it is prepared for waiting cups.

An opening scrawl reminds the viewer that: “In peacetime fishermen’s lives are hard and dangerous. In wartime, all their best ships and many of their young men are in the Navy. Those who are left must face not only the ordinary dangers of the sea and storm, but enemy aircraft, floating mines, U-boats and the minefields that cover their old fishing grounds.” The film continues with hots of a steam trawler at work and general views of trawler and deck (mark 01:00) before moving on to the crew discussing jammed machine gun (02:00). We see shots of women on a pier mending nets and gutting fish (03:00) as well as a trawler in heavy seas (03:35) with various shots of deck, wheelhouse, trawl and gear. Charts showing position of minefields follows starting at mark 05:30 with more general shots of crew, one using a sextant, interior of boiler and engine room, and in the galley at mealtime. We see the crews in their bunks (mark 10:15) and hots of wives collecting pay on shore (mark 10:45) — “the only day of the week the women remember you” quips one sailor. The film rolls on with street views mixed with scences of men repairing nets (mark 11:22) and more views of the sea and starting near mark 15:20 at ashore, shopping with their families, in the pub, playing cards, and strolling. The skipper visits office (mark 15:56) to settle the next trip and the areas which have to be visited while an official warns of minefields. At mark 19:07 the crew arrives onboard the vessel Flying Admiral (H66), and the skipper prepares to set sail. As the picture draws to a close we see the steam trawler “Hondo” and learn that it was the vessel “on which this film was made (and) went back to sea with a different crew. She was lost with all hands.”

Featuring animation by Henry 'Hank' Syverson, a cartoonist and illustrator, who contributed cartoons regularly to The Saturday Evening Post" and many other magazines in this era. At the time these ads were made the Pan Am account was managed by J. Walter Thompson, and global in reach. This reel contains TV, radio, and print advertising samples.

Pan American World Airways, known from its founding until 1950 as Pan American Airways[1] and commonly known as Pan Am, was the principal and largest international air carrier in the United States from 1927 until its collapse on December 4, 1991. Founded in 1927 as a scheduled air mail and passenger service operating between Key West, Florida, and Havana, Cuba, the airline became a major company credited with many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, including the widespread use of jet aircraft, jumbo jets, and computerized reservation systems. It was also a founding member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global airline industry association. Identified by its blue globe logo ("The Blue Meatball"), the use of the word "Clipper" in aircraft names and call signs, and the white pilot uniform caps, the airline was a cultural icon of the 20th century. In an era dominated by flag carriers that were wholly or majority government-owned, it was also the unofficial overseas flag carrier of the United States. During most of the jet era, Pan Am's flagship terminal was the Worldport located at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.

It includes views of the iconic Trylon, Perisphere and Helicline, as well as major exhibits. At the 4:15 mark, an auto exhibit is seen, likely the Ford Pavilion, where race car drivers drove on a figure eight track on the building's roof endlessly, day in and day out. At 7:30, the Billy Rose Aquacade is seen. This was a spectacular musical and water extravaganza foreshadowing the form of many popular Hollywood musicals in the ensuing years. The show was presented in a special amphitheater seating 10,000 people and included an orchestra to accompany the spectacular synchronized swimming performance. It featured Johnny Weismuller and Eleanor Holm, two of the most celebrated swimmers of the era, and dazzled fairgoers with its lighting and cascades and curtains of water, pumped in waterfalls at 8000 gallons a minute. The cost of admission was 80 cents. At 10:00, the Lagoon of Nations is seen with a spectacular fireworks show and lighted fountains.

The 1939–40 New York World's Fair, which covered the 1,216 acres of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park (also the location of the 1964–1965 New York World's Fair), was the second most expansive American world's fair of all time, exceeded only by St. Louis's Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904. Many countries around the world participated in it, and over 44 million people attended its exhibits in two seasons. The NYWF of 1939–1940 was the first exposition to be based on the future, with an opening slogan of "Dawn of a New Day", and it allowed all visitors to take a look at "the world of tomorrow". According to the official New York World's Fair pamphlet:

The eyes of the Fair are on the future — not in the sense of peering toward the unknown nor attempting to foretell the events of tomorrow and the shape of things to come, but in the sense of presenting a new and clearer...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e5ba9208-fb8f-41f6-83e3-887f7611ac28/732c57fb-3805-45b3-bd2b-21ec137ba651-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/unkzR7fX3Eye6KgGqLW1HN</video:player_loc><video:duration>819</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T20:25:05.758Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5zQLpCwMCTDsyDUkpiwKG3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/76e60714-b936-4f86-ac87-83c91e7e1a94.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CENTURY 21 EXPOSITION  SEATTLE WORLD'S FAIR  44824</video:title><video:description>This silent 16mm film shows the Century 21 Exposition, also known as the Seattle World's Fair,  held April 21, 1962, to October 21, 1962.  Nearly 10 million people attended the fair. Unlike some other world's fairs of its era, Century 21 made a profit. The film includes rare views of the fairgrounds, monorail, and of course the Space Needle in its original orange paint scheme.

As planned, the exposition left behind a fairground and numerous public buildings and public works; some credit it with revitalizing Seattle's economic and cultural life. The fair saw the construction of the Space Needle and Alweg monorail, as well as several sports venues (Washington State Coliseum, now KeyArena) and performing arts buildings (the Playhouse, now the Cornish Playhouse), most of which have since been replaced or heavily remodeled.

The site, slightly expanded since the fair, is now called Seattle Center; the United States Science Pavilion is now the Pacific Science Center. Another notable Seattle Center building, the Experience Music Project, was built nearly 40 years later and designed to fit in with the fairground atmosphere.

Aerospace and technology company Lockheed presents “You Have To Get Up Pretty Damn Early To Beat The TriStar — an early 1970s color film promoting the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, a medium-to-long-range, wide-body airliner that took its first flight in 1972 with Eastern Air Lines. Hank Dees, a test and research pilot, greets the viewer starting at mark 00:49 and discusses the flight program in detail as we watch test footage of the aircraft and Dees discusses the engineering and design aspects of the aircraft. At mark 06:04, we see former NASA astronaut and then-Eastern Airlines senior vice president Frank Borman exit a TriStar after flying the aircraft and then address the media while describing its handling as “superior.” We see a view from inside the cabin waiting for passengers as well as the “new uniforms” for flight attendances (mark 08:00) as they strike leggy poses within the aircraft engine for photographers. The film shows us the aircraft at the Paris Airshow and in flight as it continues, as well as ongoing tests including some at Edwards Air Force Base (mark 15:22). 

The Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, commonly referred to as the L-1011 (pronounced "L-ten-eleven") or TriStar, is a medium-to-long-range, wide-body trijet airliner by Lockheed Corporation. It was the third wide-body airliner to enter commercial operations, after the Boeing 747 and the McDonnell Douglas DC-10. The airliner has a seating capacity up to 400 passengers and a range over 4,000 nautical miles (7,410 km). Its trijet configuration has three Rolls-Royce RB211 engines with one engine under each wing, and a third engine, center-mounted with an S-duct air inlet embedded in the tail and the upper fuselage. The aircraft has an autoland capability, an automated descent control system, and available lower deck galley and lounge facilities.

The L-1011 TriStar was produced in two fuselage lengths. The original L-1011-1 first flew in Novemb...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a68baacc-9db8-4561-97a0-ae48cf015600/f08ccb9c-c22c-4362-bbe2-1ab57117b352-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/myPd6MZveobzDjCvruyem5</video:player_loc><video:duration>1410</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T20:29:34.202Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4mLyf4Ny5WqoYoBE3P3YRD</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/c4b41a81-23d7-49ef-a55f-0cfff32a7e1b.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WORLD WAR II FIRE FIGHTING  CANADIAN FOREST PROTECTION SERVICE 29934</video:title><video:description>“The Forest Commandos” was a 1946 Technicolor short distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, directed by Van Campen Heilnerand “and filmed with the co-operation of the Forest Protection Service of the Department of Lands and Forests, Ontario, Canada.” (It was renamed the Ministry of Natural Resources Ontario in 1972). The forest commandos of the title are the Ontario fire rangers who, with the aide of their bush pilot comrades, keep watch over Ontario's forests. The film is specifically dedicated to the work of the bush pilots flying floatplanes, such as those manufactured by the Stinson Aircraft Company, in support of forest fire suppression crews.

Mark 01:00 introduces viewers to Major Jack Leach, who served with the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Air Force in World War I and was one of the original members of the Ontario Provincial Air Service, before moving on to “today’s” pilots charged with protecting the “timber empire” of Canada. The film cautions against human carelessness — one of the greatest causes of forest fires — and at mark 03:30 we see a man thoughtless tossing a lit cigarette from his car window, resulting in a conflagration. Mark 04:50 begins a series of scenes involving the Ontario Provincial Air Service in flight and from watch towers, and at mark 07:57 shows a ranger uncovering an illegal trap left by a poacher. Later, at mark 09:18, a watcher spots smoke — “the ominous signal flag of threatened disaster — and viewers see them fight a large forest fire that threatens the small village of Gogama.”The planes circle the seething inferno” at mark 12:13 as ground crews work below. By mark 18:00, a newspaper headline offers viewers the good news: “Rangers and Rain Save Gogama.”

Mitchell College in New London, Connecticut encouraged servicemen to “keep on learning” in this circa 1956 black-and-white education film. It consists of various segments including "Missile Recovery", "An Almanac of Liberty", and a history of the "Submarine".

An Air Force technical sergeant opens the film at mark 00:22 to tell the viewer how it’s possible for those in the armed forces to obtain a college degree while still in uniform. But that cold open was just a precursor to the main focus of the film by I&amp;E Screen Magazine — bringing servicemen news from around the world. In the first story, “Missile Recovery,” White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico takes center stage starting at mark 02:18 and we meet the newly created Missile Recovery Team of the Range Service Division at White Sands. Their specialty — literally picking up the pieces following a missile test launch. At mark 03:52 we watch the servicemen arrive at the impact site of a missile, where they are responsible for recovering every fragment from around the point of impact. Heavy equipment is shown removing a portion the missile from the ground while researchers later examine pieces both big and small. Atm mark 05:23 we watch a vignette adapted from the book “An Almanac of Liberty” by Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, which takes a look at the legal system. “Submarine,” at mark 09:20, discusses the silent weapon of the seas and a brief tutorial — including how Alexander the Great had once attempted to have himself lowered into the sea while within a glass barrel (mark 10:10) and at mark 11:30 how the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley was the first combat submarine to sink a warship. (The sub was was not completely submerged and, following her successful attack, was lost along with her crew before she could return to base.)

At mark 00:55, geologist and astronomer Harold Masursky explains how scientists were working to understand how the planet was formed, while biologist Gerald Soffen explains the importance of the search for life on Mars (mark 01:27). Beginning at mark 01:53, we see several images taken by Mariner 9 while we’re told of the significance of the scenes, including massive dust storms and volcanoes. At mark 04:20 we learn of the temperature variations that range from -150 degrees at night to 70 degrees on the equator. As the film continues we learn of how scientists were using images to carefully map the surface, as well as it’s two moons — Phobos and Deimos. Mark 06:15 shows artist renditions of what the surface of Mars may look like, with red sands giving way to blue sky and wispy white clouds. Sagan returns at mark 07:00 to discuss changes observed on the Martian surface that they concluded were the result of high winds uncovering material underneath, while images sustain his claims. He also discusses 3,000 mile long rifts on the Martian surface (mark 10:15) and possible volcanic activity at Olympus Mons (mark 12:30). Mariner 9 images also contained a few surprises, Sagan explains starting at mark 15:30, including hundreds channels that they believed may have been cut by running water — even though no evidence of water had been found. At mark 19:30, Soffen returns to ponder “what is life” and does life in any form exist on Mars. At mark 21:55, the film looks toward the future the planned 1976 Viking mission, which safely landed a pair of spacecraft on the planet. (Soffen explained, starting at mark 22:05, that a major goal of Viking was to search for life).

Though undated, references in the narrative suggest this film was made circa 1964 era. Photography of the X-15 flights at the edge of space and landings on dry lake beds are included. The film opens with scenes of the X-15 being launched from a United States Air Force jet (mark 01:10) as the narrator discusses “manned flight in a near-space environment” including structural design. Prior to the aircraft, we’re told starting at mark 02:10, scientists had wondered what would be man’s role — if any — in space. The X-15 helped answer those questions.  (Among the most popular and productive X-planes, the X-15 flew high enough to earn astronaut wings for a number of its pilots.) The aircraft is shown landing at mark 03:11 as the narrator continues his lecture on the construction of the X-15, including interviews with some of the engineers and designers involved in its creation. There is also a bit of a history lesson on the X-plane, including the Bell X-1 (starting at mark 05:00), a rocket engine-powered aircraft that was the first to break the speed of sound, the Douglas D-558, the Northrup X-4, the Bell X-5, and the Douglas X-3. The various Bell aircraft are also shown such as the Bell X-1A, Bell X-2, and Bell X-1E. We learn about aerodynamic heating of aircraft beginning at mark 07:30 as well as aerodynamic control. Built to withstand hypersonic speed, the X-15, the film continues with a detailed lecture of the aircraft’s construction with scenes of engineers working on the X-15 before it changes its focus to the training of pilots (mark 12:43) and an interview with test pilot Scott Crossfield starting at mark 14:09, who adds first-hand accounts. We are then taken to Edwards Air Force Base in the Mojave Desert (mark 14:50) where the picture continues its discussion of each step of the flights and interviews Paul Bickle (mark 15:35), director of NASA’s flight research at the time, ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/67d05001-e092-4cc8-bfc1-ede2c6cf3dd3/621fe1d2-ed1c-4980-a1e9-a8193034e168-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/dPwk8wPrcMAomtydQyjvin</video:player_loc><video:duration>1653</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T20:42:01.905Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/m6trfxnhAjZmPH1DHdEfzi</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/7bb78ea4-b4ca-4633-802b-c089e77e5453.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1939 PRE-WWII SWITZERLAND TRAVELOGUE  " MEN OF THE ALPS " 48004</video:title><video:description>“Men of the Alps” is a 1939 black-and-white education film from the General Post Office Film Unit that focuses on life in Switzerland and the Swiss Alps. After a few scenic views, we quickly learn about Swiss men’s reputation as excellent marksmen (mark 01:00) in the footsteps of national hero William Tell— while Swiss women prefer to focus on being church-goers. As the camera pans across beautiful mountain scenes, the narrator explains that the mountains also make the growing of crops nearly impossible, leaving meadowlands available to grow hay or raise cattle for their milk which is then used to make cheese. The icy rock of the Alps also attracts many adventurers and tourists (mark 05:00) who yearn to scale the faces or ski down their sides. At mark 05:40 we’re shown some of the intricate models or automatons created by the Swiss, with complex inner workings that allow the figures to present almost lifelike qualities as well as eerily fluid penmanship. At mark 08:23, we learn of how the power of Swiss waters are harnessed and used to create energy. 

An automaton  is a self-operating machine, or a machine or control mechanism designed to follow automatically a predetermined sequence of operations, or respond to predetermined instructions. Some automata, such as bellstrikers in mechanical clocks, are designed to give the illusion to the casual observer that they are operating under their own power. One famous Swiss 18th century automaton maker was Pierre Jaquet-Droz and his contemporary Henri Maillardet. Maillardet, a Swiss mechanic, who created an automaton capable of drawing four pictures and writing three poems. Maillardet's Automaton is now part of the collections at the Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia.

It shows crucial events in St. Petersburg and the fight for control of Kiev and Moscow.

Narrator: October 25, 1917. The Socialist Revolution won in Petrograd. The triumphant march of the revolution began in the country. Smolny remained the military headquarters of the revolution. The Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party was situated here. Lenin worked here. (00.50) The Soviet government won peacefully in many cities, there was no fighting. Bolsheviks were always ahead, they led the fight for the power of Soviets. The proletarian Urals were an important center of the revolution. Workers responded to the Bolshevik’s appeal to gain control locally. (01.21) 
In trenches, dugouts, and hospitals, they were reading the Bolshevik’s appeal to the frontline soldiers. The army sided with the Soviets.   But capitalists and landowners were fighting against the Soviet powers in many places. It happened in Moscow. The blood was being spilled on the streets of the city for five days. For five days, workers and soldiers of Moscow were fighting at the barricades under the guidance of the Bolshevik Party. (02.05) The armored riot succeeded in Moscow. Moscow streets preserved the signs of fierce fighting for many days. 
In Kiev, revolutionary workers were fighting for 11 days for the Soviet government. 1,500 workers perished in that fight by the hands of Ukrainian White Guards. But they did not die for nothing. Ukraine became Soviet. (03.07)
In spring of 1918, the Soviet government was established in proletarian Baku, in the Middle East. The Revolution kept moving further and further. Vladivostok became Soviet. The Revolution marched triumphantly from one end of the great country to another, and by the spring of 1918, the Soviet flag was soaring over all of Russia.

The film shows how fluorescent lights (first introduced in 1938) are manufactured. The film combines live action and animation to show how fluorescent lights are manufactured, tested and packed, and shows how the lamp works in showing the role of electrons in the lighting device. The film was directed by Raphael G. Wolff with Frank Hemingway as narrator, and distributed by General Electric.

The film features slow motion studies of Jones' technique and analysis provided by title cards. The film was released by Kodak for the home market as part of the "Kodascope Library". The 1936 catalog described it this way: By means of both normal and slow-motion photography we see this prominent young golfer demonstrate correct gold form in the use of the different clubs. Upper body and foot position and motion are analyzed. This subject is of general interest to golf clubs and all who play this popular game.

Robert Tyre "Bobby" Jones Jr. (March 17, 1902 – December 18, 1971) was an American amateur golfer, and a lawyer by profession, who was one of the most influential figures in the history of the sport. Jones founded and helped design the Augusta National Golf Club, and co-founded the Masters Tournament. The innovations that he introduced at the Masters have been copied by virtually every professional golf tournament in the world.

Jones was the most successful amateur golfer ever to compete at a national and international level. During his peak from 1923 to 1930, he dominated top-level amateur competition, and competed very successfully against the world's best professional golfers. Jones often beat stars such as Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen, the era's top pros. Jones earned his living mainly as a lawyer, and competed in golf only as an amateur, primarily on a part-time basis, and chose to retire from competition at age 28, though he earned significant money from golf after that, as an instructor and equipment designer.

Explaining his decision to retire, Jones said, "It [championship golf] is something like a cage. First you are expected to get into it and then you are expected to stay there. But of course, nobody can stay there." Jones is most famous for his unique "Grand Slam," consisting of his victory in all four major golf tournam...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a8ff4553-3166-4369-a39d-c5c0094b5cc7/d3a3be08-b748-47b4-a8b6-9f3783b5d73f-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mSnAzscKetNKwHPxRCVJ34</video:player_loc><video:duration>458</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T20:46:06.566Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/cT2CH2vgF9zzDcK9wnxFBY</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d3184273-db30-40c6-8b51-c88bc280f4be.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>TRIP ON S.S.

SS America was an ocean liner built in 1940 for the United States Lines and designed by the noted American naval architect William Francis Gibbs. She carried many names in the 54 years between her construction and her 1994 wrecking, as she served as the SS America (carrying this name three different times during her career), the USS West Point, the SS Australis, the SS Italis, the SS Noga, the SS Alferdoss, and the SS American Star. She served most notably in passenger service as the SS America, and as the Greek-flagged SS Australis for Chandris. In 1941, she carried two Nazi spies from the Duquesne Spy Ring in her crew: Erwin Wilhelm Siegler and Franz Joseph Stigler. Both men were charged by the FBI with espionage and sentenced to 10 years' and 16 years' imprisonment, respectively.

" 25514</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

An official War Department film produced by the United States Army Signal Corps during WWII, “How Good Is A Gun?” opens with a scene from “a valley where Nazis rule. A valley of death.” As the camera pans across the ruins of what was once a town, the narrator says that no rocket or “mysterious ray” destroyed this place. “Just firepower — firepower of American war production … fighting to save this town and every town from the swastika.” American infantrymen are shown sharing cigarettes at mark 01:08 after the fight as dubbed audio explains how the American people “have a right to know how good the guns are so they keep making them good” and the narrator adds near mark 02:00 that “superior firepower saves lives.” At 2:21, soldiers are seen watching a movie about firepower. The film continues as we see soldier firing a light carbine, an M1 Garand (“which can make a leaky bucket out of any sniper’s head”), and a Browning Automatic Rifle as they cut through trees and cement walls, as well as firing bazookas, 60 mm and 81 mm mortars that can reach Nazi soldiers hiding two miles away, and anti-tank guns. We see the 105 mm Howitzer M3 in use starting at mark 05:15, followed by the 155 mm Long Tom field gun. At mark 06:06 the camera follows troops out of the training camp and into the battle as we see the weapons in action. Sherman tanks roll past at mark 07:15 as they advance toward the Germans, and the narrator’s enthusiasm cannot be contained as he introduces the 240 mm Howitzer M1 (aka the Black Dragon) at mark 08:15. Tanks and tank destroyers are shown moving into a valley as shells fly and the Allies finally enter the town at mark 11:46, carrying minesweepers and M1903 Springfield rifles “to flush the snipers.” The fruits of the Allied efforts are shown at mark 12:25, as grateful residents emerge from caves and hideouts and we’re reminded that “the terror of our shells have driven out the greater terror —...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4930e583-74ec-4063-b92d-1719bff8276d/68ad2dec-1833-4b19-8ac4-63c401a8f84b-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/a3cBXypuVxMFeV3cGQ1qfz</video:player_loc><video:duration>837</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T20:55:45.874Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/3e9hfnQpob8AzfNiMA8oVG</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/d5a24bd3-8f87-44e8-9172-96d3ec243645.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>B-29 SUPERFORTRESS BOMB HANDLING &amp; LOADING WITH C-3 BOMB HOIST 48504</video:title><video:description>This World War II-era Army Air Forces film demonstrates the proper method of bomb handling and loading of a B-29 Superfortress, including the use of a C-3 bomb hoist. (A scroll at the start of the film reminded the viewer that the C-3 was later replaced with a C-6 bomb hoist, though the operations were basically the same.) The film takes its viewer to the Army Air Forces Board headquarters in Orlando, Florida, where offers are discussing “Project No. F-3607” — a test of bomb handling and hoisting equipment in a B-29. A Superfortress is shown on a runway at mark 01:25 as the narrator says operations had been slowed in part due to inefficient bomb-loading methods. Ordinance and armament crews are shown at work as we flash back to a meeting room and a dramatization of officers discussing the issue starting at mark 01:48. As the officer discusses bomb-loading methods in detail, we watch crews enact them in the field. As the film continues we see more crewmen secure bombs onboard an aircraft we’re told at mark 06:18 how ten men were able to load a B-29 with 40 500-pound bombs in just over an hour. The film also illustrates, in detail, proper measures for securing one- and two-ton bombs in the aircraft. Back in the meeting room at mark 08:10, the officers concur that the hoist and necessary manpower are a positive move in the Allied war effort. 

The Boeing B-29 Superfortress is a four-engine propeller-driven heavy bomber designed by Boeing which was flown primarily by the United States during World War II and the Korean War. It was one of the largest aircraft operational during World War II and featured state of the art technology. It was the single most expensive weapons project undertaken by the United States in World War II, exceeding the cost of the Manhattan Project by between 1 and 1.7 billion dollars. Innovations introduced included a pressurized cabin, dual-wheeled, tricycle landing gear, and a remote, computer-controlled fire-control system that directed four...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/12080c94-c29d-4d91-8f48-f3d8107622da/f72fcf69-3232-4a6d-a01d-fa36b0d52c35-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/3e9hfnQpob8AzfNiMA8oVG</video:player_loc><video:duration>587</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T20:56:48.293Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/vtU1ruJhDWpL7feeBMqgqX</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/083e2d12-4e54-4219-8136-07dd8f060155.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1974 MINUTEMAN ICBM AIR LAUNCHED BALLISTIC MISSILE TEST PROGRAM 45154</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

This film "Air Mobile Feasibility Demonstration" chronicles the development of an Air Launched Ballistic Missile system. The ALBM concept was viewed as a potential game changer for strategic deterrence, allowing missiles to be deployed to remote locations at a moments' notice. As shown in the film, starting in the early 1970s, the USAF tested air-launching a Minuteman 1b ICBM from a C-5A Galaxy transport aircraft. (Note: the test proved the feasibility of launching an intercontinental ballistic missile from the air. In the end however, operational deployment of ALBM was discarded due to engineering and security difficulties, though the capability was used as a negotiating point in the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks.)

The film documents the successful development and testing of an air-launchable Minuteman ICBM, demonstrating the ability to safely drop and fire an intercontinental ballistic missile from a Lockheed C-5A aircraft. Over several months in 1974, a dedicated Air Force and industry task force conducted a series of progressively heavier dummy payload drops to refine the rigging, parachute extraction systems, and aircraft compatibility. After overcoming challenges such as platform flexing and parachute failures, the team perfected a reliable extraction system using clustered parachutes. This paved the way for multiple inert missile drops and, ultimately, a live missile test where the first stage ignited successfully after clean separation from the aircraft.

After World War I, the French Navy remained the fourth largest in the world, after the British, US and Japanese navies, but the Italian Navy, considered as the main enemy, was almost as large as the French one. This order of fleets, with the French Navy equal to the Italian Navy, was sanctioned by the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty. Every naval fleet consisted of a variety of ships of different sizes, and no fleet had enough resources to make every vessel supreme in its class. Nonetheless, different countries strove to excel in particular classes. Between the World Wars, the French fleet was remarkable in its building of small numbers of ships that were "over the top" with relation to their equivalents of other powers. For example, the French chose to build "super-destroyers" which were deemed during the Second World War by the Allies as the equivalent of light cruisers. The Fantasque class of destroyer is still the world's fastest class of destroyer. The Surcouf submarine was the largest and most powerful of its day. The Dunkerque class battleships, designed specially to fight the German so-called pocket battleships, were, in spite of their relatively small size, very well-balanced designs and precursors of a new fast battleship generation in the world. The Richelieu class full-size battleships are considered by some experts as the most successful battleships built under displacement limits of Washington Treaty in the world.

Featuring a score by acclaimed composer Jacques Ibert, the movie contains images of the fleet including especially the battleship Provence, which incredibly was sunk twice in WWII -- once by the British and once by the French.

Provence was a battleship of the French Navy built in the 1910s, named in honor of the French region of Provence. She was a member of the Bretagne class, alongside her two sister ships, Bretagne and Lorraine. Provence was laid down in May 1912 at the Arsenal de Lorient, launched in April 1913, and commissioned into the fleet in March 1916, after the outbreak of World War I. She was armed with a main battery of ten 340 mm (13.4 in) guns and had a top speed of 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph).

Provence spent the bulk of her career in the French Mediterranean Squadron, where she served as the fleet flagship. During World War I, she was stationed at Corfu to prevent the Austro-Hungarian fleet from leaving the Adriatic Sea, but she saw no action. She was modernized significantly in the 1920s and 1930s, and conducted normal peace-time cruises and training maneuvers in the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean. She participated in non-intervention patrols during the Spanish Civil War.

In the early days of World War II, Provence conducted patrols and sweeps into the Atlantic to search for German surface raiders. She was stationed in Mers-el-Kébir when France surrendered on 22 June 1940. Fearful that the Germans would seize the French Navy, the British Royal Navy attacked the ships at Mers-el-Kébir. Provence was damaged and sank in the harbor, though she was refloated and moved to Toulon, where she became the flagship of the training fleet there. In late November 1942, the Germans occupied Toulon and, to prevent them from seizing the fleet...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a90d279c-c3dd-422d-92d6-d0e3378b5f4f/a92d92f8-6f61-45dd-bee0-be5cf78281ef-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/mSL8fHdx2fTmBpdvvSR3dF</video:player_loc><video:duration>1015</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T21:03:27.105Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/4Cdv9cjDuadBd65NYH6KNE</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3c567c17-5cc5-49c7-9469-f0b3904052df.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>X-RAY INSPECTION OF PARTS RADIOGRAPHY 1940 U.S. OFFICE OF EDUCATION FILM 48494</video:title><video:description>“Engineering X-Ray Inspection” is a circa 1940 United States Office of Education training film was produced by U.S. Office of Education and the Federal Security Agency. The film opens with a disconcerting hum and the camera peers at a massive x-ray machine (mark 00:30) in the “radiographic room” of an industrial x-ray inspection laboratory. We watch as a technician x-rays a steel gear to determine whether the casting is free of defects as the narrator explains the process. At mark 01:45 we see a casting that is full of defects as the narrator points to the differences and explains how potentially serious trouble was avoided as a result. With a general understanding of the use and importance of x-ray technology, the film goes on to provide a detailed, animated explanation of the generation of x-rays beginning at mark 02:22. The process is detailed for several minutes, with the narrator reminding the viewer at mark 09:13 that “x-radiation” is dangerous to living tissue and operators need to be outside of the room when operating the machine. Starting near mark 09:30 we’re reminded of the four major factors to remember when making a radiograph: the tube current, the voltage across the tube, the focus-film distance, and the exposure time. The film continues as we watch an operator carefully develop x-ray film and we run through additional procedures to meet the factors that had been introduced, and at mark 18:23 we see images of more faults in an x-rayed gear. As the film comes to a close the narrator reminds the viewer that skill and study are necessary to become an x-ray technician, but that the skill plays an invaluable role in production control.

The film opens with one of the aircraft doing just that as it touches down in dusty field, “operating with sure-footed ease.” A series of other landings follow in quick succession as the narrator explains how the aircraft can land in areas that might bog down a truck or other transport. At mark 03:00, the narrator explains how the C-130 is a “seasoned veteran of combat deployment” and that the aircraft has been used on military and scientific re-supply missions. One of the aircraft, used by the United States Air Force, is shown landing on a jungle airstrip in Peru (mark 03:50) to provide 260 tons of heavy equipment and cargo, while another lands upon frozen tundra (mark 04:50) or Antartica. Aircraft landings and take-offs continue to fill the screen with a landing of a modified Hercules shown and discussed at mark 07:22, followed by landings “wherever war clouds have gathered” (mark 09:04), including Vietnam. 

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four–engined turboprop military transport aircraft designed and built originally by Lockheed (now Lockheed Martin). Capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of other roles, including as a gunship (AC-130), for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol, and aerial firefighting. It is now the main tactical airlifter for many military forces worldwide. Over forty variants and versions of the Hercules, including a civilian one marketed as the Lockheed L-100, operate in more than 60 nations.

The C-130 entered service with the U.S. in the 1950s, follo...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/36cc3a83-1669-4710-8fd1-f7c6093ea1d8/b7db5275-667c-4fb5-94b1-0e2299ca9fd8-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/7Lt3Xir3rxCpXxf6wbGB5C</video:player_loc><video:duration>620</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T21:07:08.102Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/xkZmPuniZq7ew1FNmKhytn</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ffbf9cd7-3798-4387-a80f-07b5c8173b2f.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FATHER HUBBARD THE GLACIER PRIEST  BLUE ICE  ALASKA TRAVELOGUE 47894</video:title><video:description>Produced by the Shell Lake Boat Company in Shell Lake, Wisconsin, “Highway to Adventure” is a 1950s-era color film that accompanies Alaskan explorer Father Bernard Hubbard (“The Glacier Priest”). The film opens in a southeastern Alaska (mark 01:16) Flowers bloom and bees collect honey before the camera takes us to a nearby dock at mark 02:00 and crews ready two Shell Lake cabin cruisers for their journey into a nearby fiord. Their Johnson-brand motor cuts through the water as the viewer’s treated to countless scenes of nature including an eagle taking flight from a treetop perch (mark 05:20) and a stranded iceberg near a waterfall (mark 06:52) where the crew considers making land. They set up camp beginning at mark 09:25 (with numerous “product placement” references) and move into the wilderness by mark 13:18 with Fr. Hubbard stopping to offer Catholic mass at mark 13:52. They go on to pass snowcapped mountains (mark 17:40) and startlingly blue icebergs twisted grotesquely in the frigid water, and break off chunks at mark 22:50 to cool crabs that they had captured earlier. Passing into the heart of a fiord they encounter their objective at mark 26:15 — menacing, giant icebergs exhibiting countless shades of blue passing in review.

While live action is used to show glimpses of a drilling crew at work animation reveals what is taking place below the surface of the ground. The film was produced by Academy Award-nominated producer and animator George Pal (who was nominated for an Oscar for for seven consecutive years from 1942 to 1948) and produced the influential 1953 film “The War of the Worlds.” “The Birth of an Oil Field” has some rough edits and quickly opens with an animated scene of an oil plant as a narrator explains the various ways gas is used before moving on to the treatment of oil and its transfer to field tanks and then a pumping station (mark 02:34) before being moved to a refinery. At mark 03:36 we watch workers sink a new well using a rotary method, including erection of a derrick and rig. We learn about the various parts of a drill including the more than 50 types of drill bits (mark 05:12), and the fact that oil comes from 26 states (mark 07:23) and 47 different countries. “Oil coming from the Earth in huge quantities to fulfill our increasing demands,” the narrator says. Oil also means jobs, with more than 1.2 million workers steadily employed in the oil industry (mark 08:05). Mark 08:44 kicks off a brief history lesson on oil drilling, dating back more than 3,000 years in China when similar principles were used to drill for salt. “Only time and continuing research … will reveal what added comforts may be developed for the generations of today and the generations of the days to come,” the narrator concludes.

The color film points out that as a nation, Ethiopia remains primarily an undeveloped feudal state with poor transportation and communication systems (mark 01:55), as well as powerful traditions rooted the past. It describes the nation’s long line of hereditary monarchs, and also discusses the role of Haile Selassie (02:10) as political and religious leader said to be a direct descendent of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. We see Ethiopia’s location on a map at mark 02:38, The film also features scenes of the high plateaus (mark 03:00) which are populated by tribal groups. The film visits some of the traditional huts (mark 05:00) made of mud and straw with dirt floors. We learn of some Ethiopian arts, such as basketweaving (mark 06:04) and silversmithing — a trade handed down from father to son. The film goes on to point out a few of the modern conveniences found in several of the cities (mark 09:06), including automobiles and movie theaters that show Western films (mark 10:25). At mark 13:47 we are taken inside the palace of Haile Selassie to gaze upon its opulence and catch a glimpse of his family and learn of his efforts to modernize his country.

"Space Down to Earth” is a circa 1970 NASA education film that explores how science impacts not only the exploration of space but also life on Earth. The color film begins with “sounds” from space — signals from satellites orbiting Earth — each of which have their own signature, or tone. Such application satellites serve many different functions, we are told, including weather, communications, and Earth resources. Beginning at mark 01:45, the narrator explains how satellites such as Nimbus and TIROS track weather conditions around the globe, including hurricanes, as we see scenes from 1969’s Hurricane Camille — a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane that struck the Gulf Coast of the United States. (TIROS, we’re told at mark 06:00, also carries equipment that can help spot solar flares). Satellites are also used in communications, we’re told starting at mark 09:30, with those communication satellites doing everything from assisting in telephone calls to providing cable television service. At mark 10:26 we hear the voice of President Dwight D. Eisenhower transmitted in 1960 as a part of Project Echo, a metallic balloon satellite. We also see visit to Mexico City by Pope Paul VI (mark 11:27) and of course images of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission (mark 11:32), and the crew of Apollo 13 (mark 11:48) after they narrowly escaped death and returned to Earth. Communication satellites are also used to aid aircraft and other transportation areas (mark 15:20), as we see jets taxi down the runway. By mark 19:50, the film focuses on the use of satellites on natural resources such as oceans and other waterways and how they are impacted by pollution. Satellites can also track a variety of geographic features and compare the data for any environmental c...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/99efeacf-dd1f-4db6-b435-036947ef320e/68164fac-6541-44e9-9aa7-d8959bbcfd27-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/k1vEEsu8aZGjC6dFEzfNUf</video:player_loc><video:duration>1667</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T21:14:15.794Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/81umgB5wYdBoYVpojcEy8q</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/81805ac6-b7a8-427f-9b26-5488b79ccdd5.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>OUR ENEMY THE JAPANESE (FILM 2)  WWII PROPAGANDA FILM W/ JOSEPH GREW 48284</video:title><video:description>Support Our Channel : https://www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm

"Our Enemy—The Japanese” is the second of three 1943 short training films produced by the United States Navy and Office of War Information to provide background knowledge about the wartime foe. The film begins with the narrator, former U.S. ambassador to Japan, Joseph C. Grew (mark 00:38), stating that he has lived in Japan for ten years (mark 01:07) and that their logic is incomprehensible by Western standards, and that they are 2,000 years behind in ethical and social thinking. “You cannot measure Japanese sense logic by any Western yardstick,” he says. 

The film is an odd assortment of truths and untruths, and begins with scenes of Emperor Hirohito on horseback (mark 01:50). As it continues, the film correctly states that Japan had been geared to a war path for most of the 1930s (mark 03:13), that it was a totalitarian society with a tightly controlled press and militaristic education system, and that war production was being carried out in family houses. However other statements are prejudice, or unsubstantiated. The film implies several times that the Japanese are not inventive or resourceful, and that they get many of their ideas from the west or copying Nazi propaganda (mark 05:50). It also states that the Shinto religion had always been, and that the Japanese people had always believed, an ideology preaching world domination and fascism—in fact the militarist brand of Shinto was a comparatively recent development.

There are a few combat scenes including a Japanese plane in flight (mark 14:27) as the narrator explains that it is goal of the Japanese to bring “pitiless destruction upon unarmed people” and “by slaughtering all those who stand in Japan’s way.” There are also scenes of young military cadets participating in drills (mark 16:11) and learning how to use a rifle so that they may become a soldier “ready to die for his Emperor.” 

“This then is the enemy: primitive, murderous, and fanati...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/38c1710c-a721-45b6-aa3b-27384c316d0e/9df51b5a-8736-49b1-b38b-3ab51e7678a3-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/81umgB5wYdBoYVpojcEy8q</video:player_loc><video:duration>1215</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T21:14:47.286Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/fjnZ9WB8SAw3Paqh6QJkKy</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/22a56f17-f67b-4eda-a602-a7f7b46b812e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>FATHER BERNARD HUBBARD  ALASKA ALCAN HIGHWAY, HIGHWAY TO ADVENTURE 47884</video:title><video:description>Produced by the Shell Lake Boat Company in Shell Lake, Wisconsin, “Highway to Adventure” is a 1950s-era film that takes accompanies Alaskan explorer Father Bernard Hubbard along the Alaska Highway, referred to in this film as the Alcan Highway. (Hubbard was a Jesuit priest, geologist and explorer who popularized the Alaskan wilderness.) The highway runs through Canada and connects with continental United States with Alaska. The film opens with “polite officials” greeting motorists as they enter Canada and stop at “modern” hotels and restaurants as they pass through the Great North. The film is filled with breathtaking, scenic views including many of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks as the film crew heads to the Alcan Highway. We travel along Kicking Horse Pass (mark 03:13) across the Continental Divide on the Alberta and British Columbia border, then stop at Radium Hot Springs Lodge (mark 04:19). Mountain views and waterfalls fill the screen as the film continues before we stop at Teslin Lake (mark 06:20) on the border between British Columbia and Yukon to set up camp — and pull out their Eddie Bauer sleeping bag. After heading out on the water for a fishing trip, the crew catches a glimpse of smoke from a forest fire in the wilderness at mark 09:42, but the viewer is told that because of the remote location it will be up to the next rainfall to extinguish it. 

By mark 12:50 we reach Juneau and start a “sea trip to adventure” (on a Shell Lake Boat) with the film crew capturing more scenic views and an occasional whale breaking the water (mark 20:00). Icebergs move majestically past at mark 21:03 and we’re reminded how their Johnson motor and Shell Lake Boat help them carefully navigate the waters and hazards. We reach the waters of Yosemite Valley National Park at mark 24:30 and spot a grizzly bear and her cub in the water (mark 25:05). After making it to the shore, the crew pull out their gear at mark 28:20 and fish for salmon and trout.

This vintage historic film, "Successes of the USSR in Space Exploration" delivers an in-depth and interesting look into Soviet Russia Space Program. It showcases highlights from the year of 1965. The film includes shots of Sputnik satellites, lunar probes and landers including communications satellites for broadcasting of the television and the radio. A vintage Soviet Studio graphic leader opens the film (:07). The narrator begins on October 4th of 1957 (:28) as the space era began and the USSR launched Luna 2. An early satellite model (:54) is compared to modern satellite equipped with automatic instruments. Advances in technology enabled longer stays in outer space (1:16). Black smoke billows out as a satellite is launched (1:38). An animation follows a satellite opening it's wings (2:05). Retrieved footage from a launching (2:18) shows traces of geological history as well as the suns violent rays spinning off the sun (2:46). These lead to natural disasters (2:57) a hurricane lays waste to a tropical home (2:57). A silver satellite twirls in space (3:30). A radio system installed on earth captures the imagery (3:58). These are used to craft weather maps (4:25). An animation shows the planned orbit of the Soviet satellites (4:47). Ground crews watch television projections of the space mission (5:12).

The group contains several women of color, including at least one African American member, which is notable. It's also notable that they have a bit to learn about marching (with several of them going out of step at various times).  The location of this is unknown but a clue is at 3:35 where an interesting building is shown.

At about 3:09, the film transitions to an Army exercise where a smoke screen is laid down from a pick-up truck, and then a red signal is used. At 3:35, a large building is seen (anyone know what it is?) At 3:51, the exercise continues with smoke of various colors being used, and phosphorus shells. At 4:51 more pyrotechnics are seen, and a flame thrower is demonstrated.

The United States Cadet Nurse Corps was established by the U.S. Congress on June 15, 1943, and signed into law by president Franklin D. Roosevelt on July 1, 1943. Its purpose was to ensure the country had enough nurses to care for its citizens at home and abroad during World War II. It was a non-discriminatory program that allowed Native Americans, African Americans, and relocated Japanese Americans to participate. The Corps was supervised by the United States Public Health Service (USPHS), whose duty was to train young women as nurses during the war.

The program was open to all women between the ages of 17 and 35, in good health, who had graduated from an accredited high school. Successful applicants were eligible for a government subsidy, paying for tuition, books, uniforms, and a stipend. In exchange, they were required to pledge to actively serve in essential civilian or federal government services for the duration of World War II. All state nursing schools were eligible to participate in the program. However, they needed to be accredited by the accrediting agency in their state, and connected with a hospital that had been approved by the American College of Surgeons.

Narrator: Dnepr and Don, Volga, Ob, Yenisei and Lena, there are so many powerful rivers in our country. Their waters flow down from mountains and heights to seas and oceans. It happens because a riverbed has a slope. Water does work flowing down the stream. (01.18) For centuries, the enormous energy of rivers had been wasted. People began obstructing river courses with dams. The water preserved in front of the dam stores potential energy. Water is capable of doing work when falling from a height. The amount of work equals the product of the weight of falling water by the height of the fall. (02.07) Our distant ancestors constructed waterwheels for mills, forges, and other needs. But a waterwheel is a very imperfect and low-powered drive. Nowadays, we use energy of big rivers with the help of the most innovative technical means. (02.43) The water’s way is obstructed by high concrete dams. Its potential energy turns into kinetic. To use kinetic energy, hydraulic turbine is constructed in the way of a powerful stream of water. (03.15)  Water flows into a spiral chamber. It enters the inner chamber of the turbine through the wicket gate; a water wheel is located there. The spiral chamber and guide vanes create a swirling water current in the wheel of the turbine. (03.48) It is possible to change the amount of flowing water by changing the angle of the guide vanes, the current could be fully stopped. The turbine wheel, which is located inside of the wicket gate, has curved vanes. Water current goes radially into the center of the wheel and then axially down. This is why the turbine of such a design is called radial-axial. (04.40) An experiment with a tube curved as vanes will help us understand how water sets the turbine wheel to motion. Reaction force also affects the vanes of the wheel and makes it turn. (05.3...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/503d83f9-7f81-4e5b-8f7e-a509938fcf1a/e6a4724d-df35-44a5-80a6-29b222658d40-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aUFUq96USzwRthi78xoXvd</video:player_loc><video:duration>577</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T21:21:10.581Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/pq6m3CD72iLoZt8wA62Ygk</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ff669317-f18b-4eff-a0f0-6b0a58726226.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>USSR HISTORIC NEWSREEL  INDUSTRIALIZATION OF THE SOVIET UNION 1925-1930  48774</video:title><video:description>This authentic Soviet newsreel recounts some of the economic programs that defined the early history of the Soviet Union, and the industrialization of the nation that helped transform the USSR into a 20th Century superpower. The film is full of impressive imagery of Soviet power plants, mines, railroads, steel plants and heavy industry, road building, electrification, and the construction of huge factories and industrial plants.

Narrator: "1925 was the 8th year of the Soviet rule and the 4th year of the New Economic Policy. The New Economic Policy (NEP) met Lenin’s expectations. The production of consumer goods was improving, and industry was reaching the prewar level. (00.41) 
But what level was that?  The country remained agrarian. Most peasants had never seen tractors. Socialism had not yet proved to be the best option. (00.58)  Lots of things had to be imported: Machines, pipes, cotton, rubber, vehicles. Russia paid for that in gold, bread, and timber. (00.16)" 

"Only one power could overcome a century-long gap in development, the power of new factories, industrialization. Preparation for it had begun a long time ago. The GOELRO plan was developed,  Shatura was built, old enterprises were reconstructed. (01.44) That’s when the first Soviet tractor was created. The first car was made. There was no foreign economic support, it was all done with the country’s own forces. Therefore, it was so important to choose the right path. (02.14)  The word ‘industrialization’ was first mentioned during the 14th Congress of the Communist Party. It determined the course of the economic policy of the Soviet government for many years. (02.30) 
Industrialization required energy to breathe life into plants and factories. The first hydroelectric plants started operating: the Volkhov and Zemo Avchala power stations. (02.48) 
Industrialization required metal for heavy industries. The country was providing machinery for iron and steel works. New blast furnaces were constructed.

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK TRAVELOGUE 47784</video:title><video:description>Produced by the Ford Motor Company, “Valley of Light” is a circa 1950 documentary on Yosemite National Park. It opens with a shot of famed photographer Ansel Adams as a title card reminds viewers in the opening seconds that his “photographs of our scenic parks are classic interpretations of a priceless American heritage.” We see Adams in his studio at mark 00:35 admiring some of his countless images. He strokes his beard as a voiceover remarks how he has pointed his camera at the wonders that surrounds him tens of thousands of times. But among the most beautiful spots has been “this Valley of Light — Yosemite.” The picture switches from black-and-white to color at mark 01:26 when the viewer is taken to the national park and scenes of a majestic waterfall. We see Yosemite Valley at mark 02:15 — a scene that greets visitors to the park — and we learn a bit of its history. (In 1851 as part of the Mariposa Wars intended to suppress Native American resistance, a United States Army battalion entered the west end of Yosemite Valley, marking the first documented reports of ethnic Europeans in Yosemite Valley.) Others who followed included South African naturalist John Muir and other conservationists who considered it a sacred place. It was dedicated a national park in 1890. The camera slowly pans across the landscape, showing us Bridalveil Falls at mark 03:35. Families are shown camping or staying in hotels, but all who visit wish to commune with nature. Small deer and families in car observe each other at mark 04:30 and wonder at the giant sequoias. We visit fields of flowers and boulders and rocks, and at mark 07:15 stand in a meadow and look up toward the mountains with its breathtaking colors of gray, bronze, and gold. Visitors take Mist Trail to Vernal Fall at mark 07:48 as Adams waxes poetic about the scenes, and we wonder at the snow-capped Sierra Nevada mountain range at mark 09:55.

The targets are most likely fin whales, also called the finback whale, razorback, or common rorqual. The vessel that this film was shot on is not known, but a sister ship is seen at roughly 27:00 in the film, the UNI-2. This ship was likely owned by the Union Whaling Company of South Africa during this timeframe. It was built by AG Wesser, Germany, and began service in 1937 as a floating factory for  Unitas Deutsche Walfang GmbH, Hamburg. It had two whaling seasons before the outbreak of WWII, when it was seized by Allies at Flensburg. In 1945 it was renamed the "Empire Victory" and  used as whaling factory under British flag. In 1950 it was sold to Union Whaling Co, South Africa, and renamed Abraham Larsen. It was scrapped in 1987.

The film begins with shots of a gorgeous sunset before showing fin whales at sea (2:57). At 4:16, various fishing vessels are seen at an unknown port. At  4:57, a steam engine is  seen at a whale processing facility, where whale carcasses are being processed. The whale fishing fleet is seen at 5:15, and more scenes of processing of the fin back whales. The carcasses are moved with chains, pulled by the steam locomotive (this is clearly seen at about 9:40).  At 10:52, there are more scenes at sea including photography of the harpoon aboard a whaler (11:09). The crew is shown as well as the ship's wheel at 13 minutes, and there are shots of the crew operating the vessel at sea. At 15:21, the lookout spots a whale and points in the direction of the sighting. At 16:50 the harpoon is manned and prepared for firing. The lookout comes down at 17:15. At 19:33, a whale is harpooned and dives under the vessel (these shots are from the lookout position or mast). Blood fills the water as the creature dies. At 20:13 the harpoon is seen being secured. At 20:35, it is prepared for an...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/47b9c0c4-c8ed-40e9-8305-3a32b2ce9356/2b4a14ae-74c5-48b0-b9d3-c41766ce9779-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9RGTzY6Z8c86yeTuLDUBZh</video:player_loc><video:duration>1672</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T21:28:09.551Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/wztv2Eg5dXy5tmnjYD6g5e</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/1bc20849-c313-473c-a015-43beb839d313.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>CHEMISTRY OF FIRE  U.S. NAVY 1944 FIRE FIGHTING TRAINING FILM  27514</video:title><video:description>“The Chemistry of Fire” is a circa 1944 black-and-white United States Navy film that informs sailors how to properly put out. It immediately starts with a brief explanation that fuel needs both oxygen and ignition temperature to burn (mark 00:10) with a “burning graphic” illustrating the point before explaining that extinguishing fire involves cutting off the oxygen supply or decreasing the temperature. Several examples of the “smothering” method are shown accompanied by the narrator’s explanation. The importance of fire extinguishers, especially onboard a ship, is illustrated at mark 01:30, while extinguishing oil fires is covered starting at mark 02:18, including those in fire rooms or bilges. The viewer learns of steam-smothering systems installed onboard some vessels starting at mark 05:32 before the film addresses temperature-reduction methods beginning at mark 07:50 as we watch footage of those methods as they’re explained. By mark 12:25, the viewer learns successful cooling measures for fires involving powder or ammunition. Dramatic footage begins at mark 13:49 as sailors extinguish a ship fire caused by an enemy attack. Even those fires, the narrator reminds us, can be controlled and extinguished, as we watch sailors onboard an aircraft carrier fighting a blaze. The film is recapped starting at mark 14:45 before drawing to a close. 

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction.

The official British government film, produced circa 1970, is an impressionistic account of life on the submarine told partly through the eyes of Lt. Ellison, a new submarine officer. After seeing the sub while pulling into a dock in Copenhagen, Denmark, we move inside at mark 02:24 for a training exercise on escape routes in the event of an emergency. As the film moves along we see classroom instruction and additional onboard training, with Ellison coming aboard at mark 06:30. Setting course for a survey mission north of Iceland, Ellison is shown standing watch at mark 08:30 as the crew topside critique their new shipmate at mark 09:53. A series of scenes from the sub follow as the camera captures day-to-day operations before the vessel approaches an ice flow at mark 13:50 and the disembark for an award ceremony, a group photo, and winter sports including snowball fights, sledding, and ice fishing. Artemis leaves the frozen north starting at mark 16:16 and we return to more routine scenes before the vessel returns to Copenhagen. 

HMS Artemis (P449) was an Amphion-class submarine of the Royal Navy, built by Scotts Shipbuilding &amp; Engineering Co. of Greenock and launched 28 August 1946. On 1 July 1971 Artemis sank in 9 metres (30 ft) of water while moored at the shore establishment HMS Dolphin at Gosport during refueling. Because the crew had negligently run cables through the hatches which were left open, the submarine began to fill with water and subsequently sank at her moorings. Three men were trapped inside but rescued. She was raised on 6 July and decommissioned, sold to be broken up for scrap on 12 December 1971.

The “nonclassified” film opens to the strains of “Anchors Away” and WAVES marching in formation before returning to their barracks and the letter-writing begins. Her old boss laments to her successor on why she would ever choose the Navy over his cantankerous ways and life as a secretary, and how one day “she saw one of those Navy recruiting posters” and decided to enlist. We watch her meeting with a recruiter at mark 05:30 who explains that her role in the navy is as important as the Chief of Naval Operations. We watch her make her way through the recruits’ training center and meeting her “shipmates” at mark 07:23 before learning how to march and properly wear a uniform. A haircut, physical exams, and more marching follows, as does “Reveille” (at mark 11:50), lessons in US Navy history, calisthenics … and ironing. The WAVES are shown attending a dance with sailors at mark 14:54 and visiting with family at mark 15:37. The ladies soon get their duty station assignments and graduate basic training at mark 19:15. The film closes with the WAVES at their new assignments, from personnel assignments and medical corpsmen school to Naval Air Stations. 

The United States Naval Reserve (Women's Reserve), better known under the acronym WAVES for Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service, was the World War II women's branch of the United States Naval Reserve. It was established on 21 July 1942 by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by the president on 30 July 1942. This authorized the U.S. Navy to accept women into the Naval Reserve as commissioned officers and at the enlisted level, effective for the duration of the war plus six months. The purpose of the law was to release officers and men ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fced2c30-eb0e-4e7e-a3a1-721fa631eda3/a38a149d-7f6c-426a-bff9-7b8162cf91fb-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xetVfxV6SUeSaUVMFz8Lte</video:player_loc><video:duration>1442</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T21:34:22.806Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/2X4K3E6FYmBCSHFAt6YXcg</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/410929a4-8dc5-470b-a1a6-95fd10ddb7b4.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>KTLA TELEVISION LOS ANGELES  TELEVISION SERVES ITS COMMUNITY FILM  47984</video:title><video:description>“Television Serves its Community” is a 1960 educational documentary revealing how television programs are prepared for transmission to the homes of a community. It follows three programs at KTLA in Los Angeles as they are planned, rehearsed, and televised. In addition to showing how television programs are prepared for transmission to the homes of a community, it also shows the use of live cameras, film, magnetic tape, and remote pick-ups from trucks and helicopters. At mark 00:45 it is explained how planning for live musical performance begins nearly a week in advance with a series of meetings before writers go to work on a script and a director plans the actual performance. We watch advertising executives at mark 02:09 discuss which sponsors to use, and at mark 2:45 learn about the use of remote broadcasting trucks used to cover events such as live holiday parades as crews prepare cameras and confirm routes. Sunday news roundup programs are featured starting at mark 03:15 as a news director and his staff go over local and national events, and we learn how some events are covered via a special “telecopter” — or news helicopter — shown at mark 03:43.

The film continues featuring scenes from the rehearsal of the dance show (including a live sausage commercial at mark 06:45), additional preparation for the parade, and the news broadcast as learn more about the role of a cameraman in television broadcasts. Polka dancers rush the stage at mark 07:50 for their practice performance, news footage is readied starting at mark 09:13 (while the news chopper takes to the air at mark 10:00), and “Polka Parade” opens at mark 11:25 while we learn how the live program is sent to a transmitter that then broadcasts it to your home. The frenetic pace ends at mark 13:22 as we see shots of the highly anticipated Rose Parade a closing scene of a gigantic clown float making its way down the street.

In 1957, William and Daisy Myers, who were both college graduates, moved their family into the Dogwood Hollow section of Levittown, Pennsylvania. The Myers were black, and the suburb was all-white. The result was somewhat predictable given the era, and the fact that many of the whites had left the inner city for the suburbs to escape racial integration. The Myers were harassed, openly threatened, and snubbed. Molotov cocktails were thrown at a protest which escalated to a riot in the summer, and a cross was burned in a neighbor's yard. State police ended up protecting the family home for a month. This powerful documentary from 1957 explores the situation and features interviews with neighborhood residents, who try to explain themselves and their fellow citizens' actions. The result is a powerful document of the racist attitudes that predominated in this era, even in the northern U.S.A.

You can read more about the incident in this 1997 retrospective article: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1997-08-21/news/1997233064_1_daisy-myers-levittown-epithets

The Myers never moved, by the way, and their bravery produced an outpouring of support from some members of the community who were outraged at their treatment (see article link above).

Narrated by film and television actor Burgess Meredith, it includes photographs of the lunar surface, Earth as seen from the moon, and activities of the astronauts. Apollo 8, the second crewed mission in the United States Apollo space program, was launched on December 21, 1968 and became the first human-crewed space craft to leave Earth orbit, reach the Earth's Moon, orbit it and return safely to Earth. The three-astronaut crew — Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders — became the first humans to travel beyond low Earth orbit, the first to see Earth as a whole planet, and then the first to directly see the far side of the Moon. The 1968 mission, the first crewed launch of a Saturn V rocket, was also the first crewed launch from the John F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida, adjacent to Cape Canaveral.

The film opens as Apollo 8’s 16mm camera pans across the lunar surface and we listen to a few transmissions from the crew before we move to the “beginning” of the story and gaze upon a Saturn V rocket. At mark 03:48 we watch the Apollo 8 crew lift off and hear Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, an American minister and author who promoted the concept of “positive thinking” as he explained how the mission rejuvenated the spirit of mankind following the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F.

The Viking program consisted of a pair of American space probes sent to Mars, Viking 1 and Viking 2. Each spacecraft was composed of two main parts: an orbiter designed to photograph the surface of Mars from orbit, and a lander designed to study the planet from the surface. The orbiters also served as communication relays for the landers once they touched down.

The Viking program grew from NASA's earlier, even more ambitious, Voyager Mars program, which was not related to the successful Voyager deep space probes of the late 1970s. Viking 1 was launched on August 20, 1975, and the second craft, Viking 2, was launched on September 9, 1975, both riding atop Titan III-E rockets with Centaur upper stages. Viking 1 entered Mars orbit on June 19, 1976, with Viking 2 following suit on August 7.

After orbiting Mars for more than a month and returning images used for landing site selection, the orbiters and landers detached; the landers then entered the Martian atmosphere and soft-landed at the sites that had been chosen. The Viking 1 lander touched down on the surface of Mars on July 20, 1976, and was joined by the Viking 2 lander on September 3. The orbiters continued imaging and performing other scientific operations from orbit while the landers deployed instruments on the surface.

The project cost roughly US$1 billion. It was highly successful and formed most of the body of knowledge about Mars through the late 1990s and early 2000s.

At the time, a series of pioneering research activities were being conducted in the surgical-anethesiological laboratory, to determine how organs and other body parts could be transplanted. The problem of course is that the body rejects transplants, and a series of drugs were being developed for immunosuppression as a result. While some people viewing this film may find it disturbing that innocent animals were subjected to these experiments, the findings greatly improved transplantation and are indirectly responsible for many people living today who have had heart, liver and other types of transplants.

The film shows a series of surgeries where one dog's leg is amputated, and transplanted on the body of another dog. Immunosuppression drugs are then used to keep the new limb from being rejected. 

The film was originally released with a magnetic soundtrack, and  narrated by General James W. Humphryes, Jr., but at this time we have not been able to make a transfer of the soundtrack. We hope to be able to do so in the future.

Maj. Gen. James William Humphreys Jr., was perhaps most famous as the director, Space Medicine, Manned Space Flight, National Aeronautics and Space Administration. As director, he was responsible for providing manned space flight medical advice to the associate administrator for Manned Space Flight and for planning, developing and promoting the Manned Space Flight: medical program. This film dates to the early 1960s, when he assumed command of the U.S. Air Force Hospital at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, and remained in that assignment until June 1965. During this period he also served as director, Land Based Medical Recovery Operations, and chief of medical specialists for Project Mercury and as consultant in Bioastronautics to the Air Force Eastern Range Division of Project Gemini.

Made during the Apollo program, “Assembling Apollo” is an official NASA film produced circa 1968 that tracks the numerous pieces used to create the rockets and spacecrafts that took man to the moon. The film opens with the various parts being brought to the Kennedy Space Center via all sorts of airplane, ship, and vehicle, as engineers carefully assemble the various stages of the Saturn V rocket. Workers attach communication and fuel lines at mark 02:10, and at mark 03:15 put the “brains” of the rocket — the instrument unit — in place. Starting mark 03:35, the film checks in on the assembly of the lunar spacecraft (including the lunar module, service module, and command module) in the Command Spacecraft Operations Building at NASA before showing it lifted atop the waiting Saturn V at mark 04:40.

Pieces were transported to the Kennedy Space Center from manufacturing plants located hundreds or thousands of miles away using methods that varied from a barge to specially designed aircraft. The rocket’s first booster stage is shown starting at mark 01:47 being slowly transported and being test-fired at mark 03:18. The rocket’s second stage is seen at mark 04:04 as it’s slowly moved from California to the Gulf Coast for testing. Mark 05:17 shows us the third stage of the rocket as it is moved along the California coast for testing before being transported to Florida, where all of the pieces will be assembled.

The film shows how a hot iron can cause a fire (1:00), a space heater (1:12), a gas heater left on (1:20), short circuited electrical systems (1:30) and bad lamp cords, cigarettes left burning (1:51), burning rubbish in a poor incinerator, open paint buckets and oil soaked rags (2:19), etc. At 2:24, the use of gasoline as a cleaning solvent is shown, with fatal result headlines shown. (Before the era of modern cleaning products, gasoline was often used as a common household cleaner and dry cleaning solvent.) At 3:12, a woman is seen washing her clothes in gasoline, an extremely dangerous thing to do! Why -- it's more dangerous than dynamite. At 3:54, a 1940s dry cleaning establishment is shown with gasoline being used in special machines to wash clothes. The commercial establishments are run by those who know the dangers of the materials with which they are working, but not the home user. The commercial establishment has special safeguards as well, including steam outlets, asbestos blankets, roof hatches, fire extinguishers, fusible link couplings, and more. But the home user / housewife has no such protections! 

At 6:46, a dramatic enactment of a fire at commercial facility is shown, with the fire fought by employees in a highly efficient manner -- smothered in steam and with fire doors sealing off the danger area. But at 7:33, the housewife is doomed, as (in a poorly animated sequence) a spark from static electricity sets off a spark and she is burned badly. At 8:16, the fire department is shown on its way, and an ambulance rushes to the scene. The mother is seen at 8:30 in the hospital with second and third degree burns. She wears a full body cast like a mummy, but there is almost no hope -- she lives, but terribly scarred.

It opens in May 1961 as Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard prepared to become the first American in space. We see scenes filmed aboard his Freedom 7 spacecraft before switching to a Saturn V rocket on a launchpad (mark 01:32) — a rocket used to take man to the moon. As the missions have changed, so have requirements for astronauts. After again seeing the original Mercury 7 astronauts (Scott Carpenter, Gordon Cooper, John Glenn, Gus Grissom, Wally Schirra, Alan Shepard, and Deke Slayton) we are told “modern day” astronauts no longer are required to be test pilots and many have advanced degrees. (Although “scientists” still receive flight training.) Classroom training is also much more detailed and focuses on topics as celestial mechanics, rocket propulsion, and “space medicine” as we see Cooper taking notes at mark 02:50. Desert and jungle survival training is also included, as is shown at mark 03:50. At mark 05:25 we watch potential astronauts training in a simulator both individually and as a team, and starting at mark 06:21 observe as they train on a docking simulator that mimics the rejoining of the command and lunar modules in lunar orbit.

White II, and Roger B. Chaffee and the civil unrest of the late 1960s. The film takes a look back to the start of the space program as President John F. Kennedy makes his historic 1961 State of the Union address and proclamation that the United States would place a man on the moon before the end of the century (mark 01:15). Mark 02:00 shows us NASA’s master schedule of space flights for both Project Gemini and Project Apollo as the narrator then details the step-by-step successes of Gemini, including proving that man could live and work in space for as long as two weeks, dock with other spacecrafts, and work outside a spacecraft. Astronauts also quickly learned to problem solve, and at mark 04:20 we’re reminded how Gemini 8 began to spin out of control before astronauts Neil Armstrong and David Scott were able to seize control of the situation and safely return to Earth. The film turns its attention to Apollo at mark 04:57, again looking at the project’s timeline. The Apollo 1 fire (mark 05:55) temporarily halted the program and ultimately led to several design changes to the capsule to ensure the astronauts’ safety in the event of a fire. By mark 08:20 we learn of the development of the launch complex for Apollo plus upgrades to mission control and tracking facilities around the globe. Unmanned missions to the moon also sent back data and images (mark 09:05) that would be used in preparation for the first lunar landing, and at mark 09:50 we see the launch of Apollo 4 — the first unmanned test flight of the Saturn V launch vehicle that was used by the Apollo program to send the first astronauts to the moon — before returning to Earth (mark 11:00). The film concludes with a rundown of upcoming Apollo milestones, included addi...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/527bf486-a277-4de1-8fe4-417b661ca43c/01064f58-bfe0-4cc5-8f52-6ec2311f1144-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/bbL2pqqoPdZxUZAAdbeiVN</video:player_loc><video:duration>833</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T21:58:21.461Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>Apollo Program</video:tag><video:tag>Project Apollo</video:tag><video:tag>moon mission</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/5JLsahh6kaQN6R6SRPkm18</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/e26e5f5c-2bce-4b71-9eef-a9b3daa88567.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII INDUSTRIAL INCENTIVE FILM  "4000 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE"  WAR IN CHINA 47394</video:title><video:description>One of a large number of industrial incentive films made during WWII, "4000 Years of Experience" was directed by J.A. Yovin, who later became head of the Army's Pictorial Division. The film was made to encourage factory workers to work efficiently, and contrasts the heroic stand of the Chinese (who work very inefficiently with rudimentary tools and lots of manpower) with the modern factory worker on the home front. The film shows footage of Chinese working in an aircraft repair facility at 1:50, and at 2:23 a shark nosed P-40 Warhawk from the Flying Tigers is seen. Chinese workers have "4000 Years of Experience" to draw on to solve problems. At 2:56, the Volturno River in Italy is seen, with American troops building a pontoon bridge in a rainstorm, and it's "all for one and one for all" and done "the hard way." Now a modern factory is seen, with typical problems -- pathways obstructed by dropped materials, fire lanes crowded with debris, etc. While soldiers toil in the field to move supplies and bulldozers push mud off of roads (4:14), factories are seen with cleanliness and safety issues highlighted that could likewise impede war progress. These include nails on the floor that can puncture shoes, and violations of the no smoking rule. At 6:00, an aerial bombing is seen causing the destruction of an enemy factory, but a fire at a USA factory could also be devastating so please -- no smoking! 

At 7:00, a complacent worker is seen goldbricking while back in Italy, scenes are shown of destroyed ships at anchor and broken enemy planes. Soldiers at 7:48 take refuge in a destroyed railway yard while smoldering ruins burn behind them. These men depend on on-time delivery of war materials so please -- keep good housekeeping practices in your war plant -- this is the lesson of this film. "Our fighting men are doing their part, it's up to you to do yours."

Young, Thomas K. Mattingly, II, and Charles M. Duke, Jr.) to Earth. Apollo 16 was the fifth moon landing of Project Apollo, and the 10th manned mission in the Apollo program. It was the second mission to utilize a Lunar Rover (Lunar Roving Vehicle, LRV) during lunar EVAs (moonwalks). The film shows the launch (mark  02:56), landing (09:43), and the three lunar traverses in the highland region of the moon, near the crater Descartes. Includes an astronaut's eye view from the Rover, lunar Grand Prix, discovery of the house-sized rock, lunar lift-off, and EVA 173,000 miles above Earth. Microphones and cameras in Mission Control record the emergency problem solving during the pre-landing crisis and the reactions of scientists on Earth as the astronauts explore the Moon.

Young and Duke spent 71 hours—just under three days—on the lunar surface, during which they conducted three extra-vehicular activities or moonwalks, totaling 20 hours and 14 minutes. The pair drove the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV), the second produced and used on the Moon, 26.7 kilometers (16.6 mi). On the surface, Young and Duke collected 95.8 kilograms (211 lb) of lunar samples for return to Earth, while Command Module Pilot Ken Mattingly orbited in the Command/Service Module (CSM) above to perform observations. Mattingly spent 126 hours and 64 revolutions in lunar orbit. After Young and Duke rejoined Mattingly in lunar orbit, the crew released a subsatellite from the Service Module (SM). During the return trip to Earth, Mattingly performed a one-hour spacewalk to retrieve several film cassettes from the exterior of the Service Module.

Apollo 8 became the first manned spacecraft to leave Earth orbit, reach Earth’s moon, orbit it and return safely to Earth. The three-astronaut crew — Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell, and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders — became the first humans to travel beyond low Earth orbit, the first to see Earth as a whole planet, the first to directly see the far side of the Moon, and then the first to witness Earthrise. The 1968 mission, the third flight of the Saturn V rocket and that rocket's first manned launch, was also the first human spaceflight launch from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, located adjacent to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Liftoff comes at mark 01:00 and we see astronauts in mission control (including Michael Collins and Neil Armstrong at mark 03:00) monitoring the journey. A breathtaking view of Earth is shown at mark 04:24 as well as the astronauts within their spacecraft (mark 04:55). Apollo 8 makes history at mark 09:00 as they enter lunar orbit and for the first time men see, with their own eyes, the lunar surface as Lovell describes its grayish, pockmarked surface and the crew later comment on its vastness … and loneliness. The crew fires the surface module engine for the return home as programmers, engineers, and fellow astronauts monitor the progress (mark 14:14). We see more scenes from within the capsule as the crew describes their “Christmas meal” (mark 15:10) before Earth comes back into view and Apollo 8 splashes down (mark 18:45).

Narrated by radio and television announcer Nelson Case, the film opens with scenes of street celebrations at mark 00:50 as residents celebrate news of an unidentified event (though likely the end of World War II). Printing presses run off newspaper copies as newsboys rush into the streets, “shouting a story that everyone knows already.” Scenes of wireless radio sending the news around the world follows at mark 1:50, and even in the deepest jungles, “centuries are bridged as the story carried by radio is picked up by the sound of ancient drums.” Drums, were are told, were some of mankind’s earliest forms of communication as their sound carried news long distances. Written languages (shown in the form of hieroglyphics) follows at mark 02:52, as are handwritten Greek scrolls and Roman tablets, until Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of the movable-type printing press in the 15th century. The film continues to trace the history of communication, including a nod to the use of carrier pigeons at mark 03:45, cannon shots, and smoke signals. We learn of messages in the Old West sent via stagecoach or the Pony Express until the coming of the telegraph (mark 05:35) in 1840 by Samuel Morse. By the early 19th century the telegraph pole was part of the American landscape, stretching from the Eastern seacoast to California. That changed in 1876 with the patenting of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell as we see a room of switchboard operators at mark 06:28 and the stretching of telephone wire across the country. Underground and underwater transcontinental cables follow, as does a discussion of the first signals of wireless radio used in 1895 (mark 08:10) by Guglielmo Marconi. He would go on to be credited as the inventor of a new medium — radio. America’s first commercial broadcasts would follow in the 1920s, we’re told at m...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fd3c74bd-03dd-4a1e-bcad-aee5350de7d4/c3130364-795f-42f5-bb67-952b627375e9-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/xgGyXcjpQ5rRn7GKLe9DMw</video:player_loc><video:duration>878</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T22:07:36.772Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/u8dKw82JrEBcpafigq3LKc</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/39f78b58-5e44-4fa2-a48e-f818da665731.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1951 ROYAL AIR FORCE  EARLY METEOR JET AIRCRAFT  HISTORIC FILM 34264</video:title><video:description>Made in 1951, "Wing to Wing" showcases the Royal Air Force as it transitioned to the jet age. Scenes include a throwback to show how WWII was fought in the sky, modern day combat in Korea (including the Royal Australian Air Force jets), and scenes showing the capabilities and versatility of a whole series of first generation British jet powered aircraft.

As the commentator says:  

Strength in the air today decides the fate of nations. Air power must be ours where the cause of peace dictates, in the sky, over Hong Kong, over the sands of the Middle East. Only a little while ago air power helped keep the peace of Europe by bringing salvation to Berlin. And now across the world to Asia, where those who fight terrorists in Malaya must be supplied by air. History comes roaring closer, with the Australian Meteors at work for the United Nations, over Korea.

The nerve centre of the R.A.F. is in London in the Air Ministry in Whitehall, where the Air Council meets to say when - and where - and how. The Secretary of State for Air, the Chief of the Air Staff and other members of the Air Council meet to decide policy.
Britain's survival lies in the sea lanes and the traffic that flows along them. Today war has spread to the third dimension, and command of the sea entails command of the air above it. Coastal Command must scan the skies and search the seas. Their eyes reach further than ever in history. We now have the Shackleton Long Range Reconnaissance Aircraft flying further and staying aloft longer than any of her predecessors. Fighter Command now armed with something keener and swifter and more deadly to its foes than anything the last war ever saw. Speed is vital. Jets mean speed that takes a man and his machine nine miles in every minute - and more to come. That means new techniques on the ground too - new methods of control, new operations, new radar eyes.

 And more, new standards of human skill, the mass take-off that launches a squadron of Jets almost simultaneou...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e3c1f250-8fdd-495c-8d95-48b9d76c9e69/90f2f7bf-7abc-4fcf-ac73-079613f4bddd-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/u8dKw82JrEBcpafigq3LKc</video:player_loc><video:duration>644</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T22:08:51.486Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/t2qXeZrPhCYQ3RNdyZnts6</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3b167458-4ac7-4b18-afb9-d8b6fcc03c88.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1967 NASA SUPERSONIC AIRCRAFT &amp; AVIATION RESEARCH HISTORIC FILM 47654</video:title><video:description>An airliner comes in for a landing in the opening seconds of the circa 1967 National Aeronautics and Space Administration color film “Flight to Tomorrow” as the narrator reminds the viewer that there are more than 300 major airports across the United States. On a typical day, more than 1,100 airplanes take off and land at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City (and 37 million across the United States), as more aircraft are shown landing and we see scenes of some of the 77,000 travelers who make their way through their airport daily. The viewer is taken inside a cockpit at take-off before being taken back in time at mark 03:11 to the early days of flight — with all of its successes and failures. By 1915, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NASA’s predecessor) was created to supervise and direct the scientific study of flight. From scenes of single-piston planes to supersonic jets, the narrator explains how some planes are able to reach the edge of space. Such scientific pursuits are also used in commercial transportation, and at mark 05:10 we’re taken back inside an airplane and news of how a five-hour, 3,000-mile trip across the United States may one day be whittled down to half that time thanks to a supersonic transport (SST), shown at mark 05:30 and the film takes several minutes discussing its design and possible use. News of new lubricants and metals needed to survive longer flight times comes at mark 10:35, as is news of how scientists also are working on ways to address turbulence and other issues in flight so that planes might be as easy to fly as a car is to drive. At mark 15:13 we turn to see scenes of additional experiments being undertaken regarding the development of the SST, and at mark 17:25 visit the topic of noise pollution. NASA pilots and engineers, we’re told, are continuously working to find ways to minimize the noises that naturally accompany commercial flight, including making steeper approaches to landing which uses less powe...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dad9dd75-7d13-426c-bdd4-4222fd9a5d8d/5248b85e-63bc-4fea-b180-21405aecff19-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/t2qXeZrPhCYQ3RNdyZnts6</video:player_loc><video:duration>1646</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T22:12:28.364Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/6fHyyzYDwebCY8B9yWLXCV</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/ed25b1e7-ee27-4f92-a8bd-b4ad4370b222.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>TRIP TO PARIS FRANCE &amp; BAVARIA GERMANY 1930s HOME MOVIE  47814</video:title><video:description>Love our channel?

It shows General Douglas MacArthur on his first day in Japan, touring the battle damaged city of Tokyo. At :29, you will see Mac in a touring car, switching to a larger vehicle. At :47, General MacArthur is seen making a triumphant speech as the Stars and Stripes again fly over the U.S. Embassy. Troops stand in review. In addition to General MacArthur, Maj. Gen. Wm. C. Chase, and Admiral Wm. F. Halsey and Lt. Gen. R. L. Eichelberger were at the Embassy that day. At 1:41, the General's guard is seen, and there is more footage of Mac in profile. At 2:22, Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial Hotel is seen. It would become the billet for much of his staff for the six years of the occupation of Japan.

At 2:26, a Japanese family is seen walking down the road, the kids posing for American troops.

At 3:15, the scene switches to another location, presumably still Japan, with American air men receiving decorations including the Legion of Merit as a band plays. Wrecked buildings can be seen in the background. Men pose with their medals for the camera. At 8:05, an American soldier seems to speak with a Japanese or Chinese counterpart. Downtown Tokyo is seen at 8:42, with fire damage evident but many buildings still intact. There is very little traffic visible. At 9:30, rubbish heaps are visible on the streets. 

At 11:23, a C-46 Commando arrives carrying what appears to be the official Japanese surrender delegation. At 12:10, there are shots from an aircraft of what is apparently coastal Japan. At 13:17, a U.S. flag is put up over the ruins of a Japanese air base with lots of wrecked airplanes visible. At 14:17, a sign is seen directing traffic towards Tokyo. A Signal Corps Photo Jeep is seen at 14:25 approaching the checkpoint. A sign in the window says "U.S. Army Official Photographer."

Piloted by astronaut Alan Shepard. it was the first manned flight of Project Mercury, the first United States human spaceflight, and the first step toward landing a man on the moon. By mark 00:50, we jump 10 years ahead and see a Saturn V rocket on the launch pad — waiting to send the crew of Apollo 14 to the moon on January 31, 1971. The mission marked the first attempt to return to the moon following the near-catastrophic Apollo 13 mission in 1970.  Beginning at mark 01:08 we see Shepard (Apollo 14’s commander) along with Command Module Pilot Stuart Roosa and Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell as they prepare to set off for Fra Mauro on the lunar surface. (Fra Mauro is thought to have been formed from debris from the impact of a gigantic asteroid millions of years ago). Mark 03:30 shows footage of Roosa piloting the command module Kitty Hawk to (an unsuccessfully at first) docking with the lunar module Antares, while on Earth engineers are shown trying to remedy the problem. The spacecraft is shown in orbit around the moon at mark 05:20, and despite a series of glitches recounted in the film, Antares makes her slow descent and finally touches down on the moon (mark 10:00). 

Shepard is shown stepping onto the surface at mark 10:40, followed by Mitchell, as they plant the American flag in the lunar soil and begin their experiments and sample collection as footage collected of the astronauts on the surface fills the screen. Soon, see Roosa back inside the command module (mark 14:40) making calculations and photographing the moon’s dusty landscape as he circled above. The second moonwalk (mark 15:25) was intended to reach the rim of the 1,000-foot wide Cone Crater. The two astronauts are shown in video and still images. However, they were not able to find the rim amid the rolling terrain of ...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4ec4b4da-e719-4c83-af97-44adaceff942/1ad5eddc-1504-4af1-bb4f-72ddc5a9c1b1-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/aJ9ti4mybxGHfBLwLa1QFu</video:player_loc><video:duration>1719</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T22:18:31.744Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/oRmMFsBaFn5G1DjSJLPeLH</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/05e2fb1b-6dc3-46cb-a39f-5ada52fab960.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>1940s OIL PRODUCTION &amp; PETROLEUM PROCESSING  VINTAGE FILM  47434</video:title><video:description>Distributed by Young America Films, the Canada’s National Film Board presents “Canadian Work and Wealth Series No. 8 Story of Oil” — a 1940s black-and-white film on the benefits of oil and natural gas and the migratory lifestyle of oilmen. Mark 01:00 shows us a view of the foothills of Alberta province, home of the largest supplies of oil in Canada, and Turner Valley in Calgary, where tiny towns are home to many of the workers who rely on the oil wells for income. The oilmen and cattlemen share the land, though the oilmen know that when the well runs dry it will be time to move on. At mark 03:10, we see men preparing a drill as the narrator discusses how fossils are responsible for creating that oil. Following scenes of a seismographic study to “see” the various levels of rock, geologists can determine whether a proposed site may hold oil.  A new well is shown being dug starting at mark 06:15 and an oil derrick being erected that will hold the drilling gear. Drilling soon begins, and after changing the drill bit at mark 09:53, drilling begins again. At mark 12:09, the viewer learns that not many wells are “gushers” as shown in TV or the movies. Rather, valve readings tell workers they have struck black gold and the length of pipe used in the drilling process is removed and prepared to be relocated. A casing is then inserted in the well to hold the wall while acid is pumped in to break down limestone and permit easier flow. Underground wastes are carried a safe distance from the well and burned, where at mark 12:56 we see a giant fire ball and black smoke rise into the air. The oil workers return home after the shift, where one man is shown being greeted at mark 13:28 by his wife and their infant daughter. Oil removed from the ground, we learn next, is stored in tanks and eventually transported to cleaning plants. At scrubbing and absorption plants, like one shown at mark 15:13, gas is separated from oil and high-octane is removed. At a refinery (mark 15:25) oil’s...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b90d4e59-d73c-4af0-9fb1-8604875397cd/a7877d08-8b7e-4a56-a041-9f3247393328-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/oRmMFsBaFn5G1DjSJLPeLH</video:player_loc><video:duration>1041</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T22:20:21.672Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9tZP9J1J1Res8B5vmbWBwL</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/3afd0c74-7342-4247-8fc8-e5b6f8827aa8.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>WWII BARRAGE BALLOON DEPLOYMENT FILM  WOMEN'S AUXILIARY AIR FORCE 47334</video:title><video:description>Strand Films created this black-and-white recruiting film for Great Britain’s Ministry of  Information in 1942 as a tool for Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF — the female auxiliary of the Royal Air Force during World War II) barrage balloon operators. Over a shot of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF — the female auxiliary of the Royal Air Force during World War II) marching out of a barrage balloon hangar, the refrain “I became a patriot to help to win the day” is heard at mark 00:19. Four girls — a London shop assistant, a Scottish housemaid (“I wanted to do something much more worthwhile than being a housemaid”), a secretary, and a Welsh barmaid join up as balloon operators. At mark 02:15, they arrive at camp and receive eleven weeks of instruction in repair work, knots, wire-splicing, and winch operating before maneuvering balloons, attached to trucks, into a vast echoing hangar. 

The girls chatter about that evening's dance where they are seen enjoying themselves in their new uniforms at mark 05:37. After training they go to a practice war site where, standing in the snow, they receive a pep talk at mark 06:06 about the rigors and satisfactions of their job. Finally they are posted to Balloon Site 568 in an industrial town. There, their singing in a camp hut is interrupted at mark 08:00 by an order to raise the balloons, which they do with enthusiasm.

A barrage balloon, sometimes called a "blimp", is a large balloon tethered with metal cables, used to defend against aircraft attack by damaging the aircraft on collision with the cables, or at least making the attacker's approach more difficult. Commonly the designs were kite balloons, having a shape and cable bridling which stabilise the balloon in windy conditions, allowing operation in higher winds than a spherical balloon. Some examples carried small explosive charges that would be pulled up against the aircraft to ensure its destruction. Barrage balloons are not practical against very high-flying ai...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/44b1d1ce-9ec4-4f11-b7f0-4ca6e03c22b4/0d558a13-3bbb-42fc-803d-494f2b4b26ea-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9tZP9J1J1Res8B5vmbWBwL</video:player_loc><video:duration>530</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T22:21:24.227Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/rXiURuxXU9U2C3jaEj9VUj</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/b1719216-7715-44d3-afe3-8f3e53952c5e.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>THE AMAZON RIVER AND AMAZON RIVER BASIN  MANAOS BRAZIL 1949 FILM 47584</video:title><video:description>United World Films presents “The Earth And Its People: Tropical Lowland (The Amazon River, Brazil),” a 1949 black-and-white educational picture that takes the viewer to that South American destination. The film opens at mark 00:27 with a global illustration focusing on the area as a narrator explains how the 4,000-mile path of the Amazon begins in the Andes Mountains and cuts across the tropical lowland of South America to the Atlantic Ocean. This is followed by aerial views of the river as the Brazilian narrator explains at mark 01:20 how the river is the only way to reach some otherwise impenetrable South American regions. The narrator explains at mark 01:58 how during Brazil’s six-month rainy season, the river can rise up to 50 feet which can wash away vegetation and minerals in topsoil, making the ground fertile only for certain tropical rainforest vegetation but not food crops. “So in spite of its abundant vegetation the Amazon lowland is sometimes called a green desert,” the narrator says at mark 02:33. As the film continues, the narrator explains some of the waterways allow Brazilians to access areas where they can gather Brazil nuts (mark 03:40) or other nuts, as well as wild rubber trees (04:10), with men shown how they use the latex they collect to make items such as rubber shoes. Many who live in the Amazon are able to use nuts, rubber, and other material in trade with other settlements and market towns (mark 07:10). At mark 09:40 the film takes its viewer to visit a family that lives along the river as we catch a glimpse of everyday life in the Amazon, from their hammock beds to the cookhouse used to prepare meals, while starting at mark 15:25 we watch as the women make fishing nets used almost daily by the men of the family. Mark 18:10 takes the viewer to the city of Manaos (Manaus), Brazil, a principle shipping port for the vast region that is accessible only by water, and we see scenes of various products being loaded onboard various vessels and th...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d22d697c-a888-4a8e-8522-e0fd8dc679ae/6647a1bd-92ee-4008-b63b-a009ce119a82-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/rXiURuxXU9U2C3jaEj9VUj</video:player_loc><video:duration>1239</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>1</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T22:24:13.307Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/nh7EJrsBuqoGgBDeSF9EV3</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/31110a68-2588-4eb0-8194-8788268c6f41.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>NASA GODDARD FLIGHT CENTER GROUND CONTROL, SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS FILM 47534</video:title><video:description>“In the 20th century, man overcame his crawling and he is now poised at the very threshold of the stars.” That dramatic sentence opens the mid-1960s National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) - Goddard Space Flight Center film. “The Vital Link.” The color film introduces audiences to those trackers who never leave Earth but whose missions are essential to astronauts’ “getting out and getting back.” Near mark 01:00 we hear a radio news broadcast of how Goddard Space Flight Center engineers in Maryland are preparing to launch a Nimbus weather satellite, and at mark 01:45 we see inside a launch center with scientists and engineers shown sitting in front of gigantic monitors and radar screens, receiving and transmitting data. It is but one part of a network of centers that track and coordinate satellites, manned spaceflight, and deep space unmanned missions, we are told. At mark 05:23 we are taken to Cadbury, Australia, where three NASA tracking stations (including one designed to track Apollo moon-landing missions) are located. Back at Goddard at mark 07:45, the narrator comments on some of the wonders of space that various satellites had “seen” including solar flares and micrometeorites, with the collected data analyzed in published in reports (mark 08:22). The results inspire new ideas and new experiments. 

After reiterating tracking, telemetry, and command as being the three key elements to any ground tracking station, we see more of the satellites used in tracking including dish antennae and slot antennae. We’re also transported to a scientific and industrial research station across the globe as the film continues, including one in South Africa, where scientists are shown collecting data from the a Pioneer  satellite in orbit around the sun. (The satellites helped track solar magnetic storms). Deep space station also collect data from the Surveyor and Mariner spacecraft as scientists are shown operating computers that take up an entire room (mark 13:1...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ac4febdd-9a71-4284-8363-92747bef360c/986ad03c-d4dd-4ea1-9b1e-fa3504428688-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/nh7EJrsBuqoGgBDeSF9EV3</video:player_loc><video:duration>1735</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T22:28:03.962Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/9ppFCNyUyPZadFLHregwtP</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/a2b5ca26-2246-49a9-9d98-d6c7ce0a84dc.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"GATEWAY TO THE HIMALAYAS"  1954 VISIT TO NEPAL   BOUDHANATH TEMPLE  HISTORIC TRAVELOGUE FILM  47314</video:title><video:description>The ancient kingdom of Nepal is the focus of the short black-and-white film, “Gateway to the Himalayas.”  This short documentary explores the ancient kingdom of Nepal, a land of striking contrasts where Buddhism and Hinduism coexist, and temples outnumber homes. Isolated for centuries by mountains and jungle, Nepal has preserved a way of life largely unchanged by modern civilization. The Newar people, known for their exquisite craftsmanship, have shaped much of Nepal’s unique architecture, including the iconic Boudhanath Temple. Life in Nepal is deeply spiritual, with frequent religious festivals and rituals, from joyous celebrations to blood sacrifices. Women display their husbands' wealth through ornate jewelry, while farming remains primitive and challenging. The Gorkhas, Nepal’s ruling tribe and legendary warriors, have played key roles in the British Army, yet their homeland remains steeped in tradition. Nepal emerges as a place of simplicity, beauty, and enduring mystery, only recently opening its doors to the outside world.


0:00 – Nepal is introduced as a remote and mystical kingdom, rich in temples and religious history, blending Buddhism and Hinduism.

1:04 – The intricate architecture and art of Nepal, particularly by the Newar people, astound rare Western visitors.

1:41 – Boudhanath Temple stands as a central pilgrimage site, with prayer flags and watchful Buddha eyes symbolizing devotion.

2:12 – Nepal's population lives a largely unchanged, primitive lifestyle, isolated by mountains and jungles.

2:45 – Despite its isolation, Nepal is a cultural bridge between India and Tibet, reflected in its diverse customs and appearances.

3:10 – Unique cultural expressions are shown, including a yogi with a hair turban and colorful traditional adornments.

4:01 – Women's jewelry is a sign of wealth; husbands invest their savings in their wives’ ornaments.

4:19 – Religious festivals are frequent, some joyous and others gruesome, such as the buffalo sacrifices...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/440dcfb6-4c5c-4232-89bd-743cf850888d/e3b0a016-9ed5-4b7f-8742-ef6cd38d3711-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/9ppFCNyUyPZadFLHregwtP</video:player_loc><video:duration>485</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T22:28:38.721Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/w/qRN8ip3A4nnVXukuce9fhm</loc><video:video><video:thumbnail_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/lazy-static/thumbnails/999bc0e7-ce0b-49fe-8dd9-de2807de7f09.jpg</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title>"DEALERS IN DEATH" 1940s ORGANIZED CRIME DOCUMENTARY  JOHN DILLINGER &amp; BONNIE and CLYDE 46544</video:title><video:description>This film begins with a promo for the documentary film "Killers All", a 1945 exploitative documentary about organized crime. Following the promo is a related film, "Dealers in Death", which is a cut-down of a feature-length movie "The Vanishing Gangster".  "Dealers in Death" primarily focuses on John Dillinger and Bonnie &amp; Clyde, and contains famous footage of the young lovers' bullet-ridden death car.

“Get ready for the SHOCK of your Life!” That cautionary advice opens the first few seconds of the promotional trailer or “Killers All,” a 1945 black-and-white exploitative roadshow documentary focusing on gangsters of the 1930s, including Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, John Dillinger, Machine Gun Kelly, and Pretty Boy Floyd. The picture quickly flashes upon the topless and bloodied body of Parker at mark 00:12, before informing the viewer that “For years their filmed story was in locked vaults it was … TOO BRUTAL for public consumption.” But now their tales of “HELL IN PETTICOATS” and “GUN CRAZY CLYDE BARROW” be told. The “factual, authentic film” (as touted at mark 01:12) boasts to the viewer that the sensation film will soon be “coming to this theater” and offers a preview of the picture as well as teasers for the accompanying lobby display.

Following a rough splice, the film cuts to the 1952 black-and-white film “Dealers in Death” (mark 03:10) which identifies itself in the opening credit as an adaptation from the movie “The Vanishing Gangster.” It is the story of primarily two of the six gangsters portrayed in “Killers All,” namely Dillinger and Bonnie &amp; Clyde.

As the narrator states:
In the beginning, man’s world was no larger than his eye could see, the far side of the earth was a mystery to him. But slowly man ventures out across the seas, and to all continents. By the beginning of our century, most of the world was on the map. But for ordinary man who wishes to see farther places, time was the enemy. At mark 2:40, the sky is now the element now, up here, man conquers time and calendar. At mark 2:50, jet surpasses all forms of transport due to its shortest time travel.  As far back as you remember, there are those rare moment of discovery as seen at mark 3:40. There is a curiosity and an hunger to learn.

One of a series of films based on texts by Henry Bowman called Marriage for Moderns, this campy 1950s film "Marriage: Today" is full of unintentional comedy. Featuring some ridiculously backwards ideas about what a healthy relationship is, and how young couples can build lasting marriages by a clear analysis of their mutual aims and cooperation in achieving them. One couple in the film, university graduates, have many interests in common. The other couple, a business man and a teacher, center their mutual affection on their son. The film is set in post-WWII America, where the post-war recession caused unemployment and great uncertainty -- thus the beginning of the film is about this "difficult" situation.

At mark 1:37, is a home, a home filled with smiles and love. At mark 2:25, is America’s home today, slums and trailer parks. At 2:46, men are seen aboard a Pullman car, going off to WWII.  An age of confused personal ideas adding up to a series of broken homes. At 3:16, a welfare relief line is seen. How can one resolve into living in a home in atmosphere of despair and chaos? A world where ambition is covered between inflation and deflations. It’s a tough world this world young people’s are suppose to inherit.

At mark 4:20 we see a marriage ceremony, ceremony of culture. At mark 4:40, the couple are seen on a roof top. As seen at mark 5:00. Here is a lady with his ambitions and future. Here, marriage is a voluntary stage for both men and women as seen at mark 5:45. At mark 6:00, a man is seen making a good trade for his future, as the lady becomes the house wife. He chose carefully without help for his future and been responsible for it. Here you have the freedom of choice which is a modern privilege as seen at mark 6:45.

Shaw (October 31, 1902 – October 30, 1954) was president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway from 1945 until his death in 1954 and famous as the automotive test evaluator for Popular Science magazine.  Shaw delivered the world's greatest automobile race to enthusiastic crowds, which grew in number by the year. The Indianapolis "500" of the late Forties and early Fifties was a very special event through the work of Tony Hulman and Shaw, although Hulman was always sure to point out that it was Wilbur putting it all together. Shaw was killed just about a year after this show aired, in an airplane crash near Decatur, Indiana, on October 30, 1954, one day before his fifty-second birthday. The pilot, Ray Grimes, and artist Ernest Roose were also killed

At mark 0:50, Shaw is seen with his historical trophy. That trophy brought back memory of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and a Memorial Day race of 1940 as seen at mark 1:27.

Nelson the chairman of the War Production Board. The film features footage of various items that can be salvaged and re-used, and notes that Germany and Japan have been much more efficient in terms of re-using materials. The film also shows how household grease can be stored for use as nitroglycerin.

As Nelson says, "We the people of United States have had a land of plenty, resources to burn which were burnt but while we were throwing away, the axis was picking up. Germany and Japan scream while US squander. Today we need all this things thrown away. Now all Americans have got to save both men and women, young and old, have got to follow a new way of life as the enemies did. At mark 1:10 is one of the secret defense plants. Here you see men making tanks. For these you must have rubber, iron, steel and all these have become insufficient in recent times. At mark 1:30 it is evident that there are not enough rubbers for the tank production. Because there aren’t enough rubber for the tanks, steel thread is used as replacement as seen at mark 1:45. Rubber tires are also needed for jeep and planes, hence it is needed to rely on scrap rubbers around the house, it is important to depend and make use of other salvage rubbers as seen at mark 2:15. At mark 2:30 is a shell production industry. The workers here are seen with chips and the shells. Everyone here now know the importance of not wasting and keeping salvages for future purpose. At mark 3:10, a house wife is seen storing oil in fridge for future value.

The needs for this program came out of the new Cold War and the Korean War, where certain vital electronic components were in very short supply.
The pilot plant created by Tinkertoy had to be compatible with the principles of modular design and mechanized production of electronics, or MDE and MPE. The pilot plant was up and running by 1953. An estimate of the manufacturing cost was made and found to be 44 percent lower than conventional processes. While NBS’s modular design was not used directly in industry, the modular design and mechanized production concepts became the customary way of producing electronic equipment.

The film begins with footage of the Loon Missile being launched off the submarine USS Cusk off Point Mugu, California. Modern weapons are guided electronically, fired electronically and exploded electronically. Modern warfare has developed to depend on electronics. At mark 1:05 is an electronic development plant. Present systems now with advanced techniques involve tedious hand assembly and components. These components are seen at mark 1;20. At mark 2:08 is the Navy applying electronics during WWII. The Navy went to the National Bureau of Standards, the Bureau assigned engineers and scientists to the research. Then project Tinkertoy is the codename for the work as seen at mark 3:00. These common denominators along with other research were subjected to several tests as seen at mark 3:20. High and low frequency vibration, centrifugal force, temperature tests and shock as seen at mark 3:50 and in all these, Tinkertoy passed all.  At mark 6:45 is a chart which shows the component of the model.

At mark 0:46, the Fifth Army is seen advancing with tanks and other armor as well as jeeps and trucks. They took this place by under the command of General Mark Clark saying. "We are here to stay. Not one foot of ground will be given up."  At mark 1:32, soldiers are given a welcome by Italian civilians. At mark 1:59, material of every description  including gasoline, guns, ammunition, medical supply, are shown moving to supply the advancing Fifth. A city once full of life and hope now smashed into waste by the Germans is seen at mark 2:35. People begging for clothes, water, food as seen at mark 2:55. The objective is to take Rome with the smallest loss of life. The philosophy of this Italian campaign is explained at mark 3:20. 

At mark 3:47, the Fifth Army is moving up. Yankee-built bulldozers are seen at mark 4:00 clearing up the streets, blowing up towers so that supplies may come through. They clear the streets so that the tools may be transported and the weary men will make their way to luxury. At mark 4:20, the men are seen bathing with hot water and soap. At mark 4:40 heavy artillery is seen firing against the enemy.
 
The Fifth Army advance into Avellino is seen at mark 4:50. A deserted city, a lone child, at mark 5:10a woman is seen with a casket. Also the Americans have their own share of burden to bear as seen at mark 5:15. At mark 5:27 is a cemetery for the lost soldiers. At mark 5:40 is the city of Benevento, a nightmare city, bomb, shell, destructions, killings, a dead city, a city murdered by war. 

At mark 6:30 is the Volturno River, and across the river is the road to Rome. Here, every bridge are blown and at mark 6:45, the Fifth Army is seen moving on as they built road for the transport of their supplies, gasoline, guns and other artilleries.

“Bogota: Capital of Colombia,” also shows this South American country in a more naive era, before various conflicts including the war on drugs caused instability. The film is part geography lesson and begins by identifying the country on a map at mark 00:44 before giving the viewer an aerial view of Bogota. A variety of street scenes from the “sky high capital of Colombia” quickly follows before the narrator discusses the history of the city, starting at mark 01:47, how it was founded in 1538 by Spanish explorer Jimenez de Quesada, and how it grew from a village of 12 crude huts to a bustling metropolis. The birth of a new republic, free from Spanish influence is discussed at mark 03:17, as is the role of President Simon Bolivar in aiding in the country’s development as a sovereign state. The narrator also discusses typical attire to be comfortable in the elements, as well as gathering places, such as coffee houses (mark 05:45), and the large outdoor markets. Mark 07:32 discusses the importance of education in the city as we see scenes of schoolyards and students with books in hand. The film continues with a look at the national library (mark 08:42) and one of its many splendid parks “where young and old can enjoy the abundant gifts of nature.”

The film references the importance of each location, the daily lives of the locals and interesting things visitors might do or see throughout their trips in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Egypt, Syria and Greece. 

Travel in this era was aboard a Lockheed Constellation, seen at the 1 minute mark.  TWA provided terrific trans-Atlantic service in this era with stewardesses delivering hot meals during the "Flight into Time."  The Lockheed Constellation ("Connie") was a propeller-driven, four-engined airliner that was built by Lockheed Corporation between 1943 and 1958 at Burbank, California. Lockheed built 856 in numerous models—all with the same triple-tail design and dolphin-shaped fuselage. Most were powered by four 18-cylinder Wright R-3350s. The Constellation was used as a civil airliner and as a military and civil air transport, seeing service in the Berlin Airlift and the Biafran airlift. It was the presidential aircraft for Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Supervised by Harold B. Say, photographed by Ralph I. Gifford, and distributed by Castle Films, the film includes scenic and recreational attractions of Oregon. The film opens with a covered wagon train at mark 00:30 and explanation of how early settlers viewed Oregon as “a land of fabled wonder” as they set out westward and created the original Oregon Trail (a a 2,170-mile east-west, large-wheeled wagon route and emigrant trail that connected the Missouri River to valleys in Oregon). “Today there is a new Oregon Trail” says the narrator at mark 00:49 — a network of asphalt-covered highways that takes motorists to breath-taking sites across the state. Mountain lakes dot the state “like shimmering jewels” we are told, and at mark 02:05 visit Celilo Falls and at mark 02:24 Multnomah Falls. Vista House, an observatory at Crown Point that also serves as a memorial to Oregon pioneers and as a comfort station for travelers on the Historic Columbia River Highway, is shown at mark 03:09. This is followed by a host of other sites including Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River at mark 03:43 before visiting Portland, “a modern industrial seaport,” at mark 04:10, and the state capitol building in Salem at mark 05:37. Bathing-suit beautifies engage in clam digging on the beach near mark 07:00 while others play in the Pacific Ocean. The camera shows the viewer a number of scenic views along the coastline and onto Cape Creek Bridge at mark 09:11 and a series of other bridges that span the waters. A visit to the Oregon Caves National Monument and the Marble Caves of Oregon follows, starting near mark 12:00, and we are reminded how Oregon highways allow motorists easy access through scented forests to such tourist attractions as Crater Lake (mark 13:33).

The film has a cold open, with a narrator detailing conditions suffered by both Allied and Axis forces, but by mark 02:30 delves into the role of air power during the war and how it supports ground troops. Between World War I and World War II, we are told, the relationship between air power and land power was unclear. By the 1940s, Allied forced realized air power can weaken any positions and his ability to fight, as we see an aerial view of bombing raids at mark 02:45. Fighters are also useful tools, an at mark 04:00 we see squadrons in flight. “Fighters can make it possible for you to enter the enemy’s air, and make it prohibitively costly for him to enter your air,” explains the narrator. 

The discussion turns to the strategic air force at mark 05:20, as we are told how its primarily mission is to paralyze and disarm the enemy, as a map of Germany fills the screen. This is accomplished primarily by bomber crews, and only after a thorough study of German industrial areas, as well as a review of date gathered during reconnaissance missions. By mark 08:45, film takes a look at German still production for the civilian and industrial markets as well as for weapons production. In destroying steel manufacturing and other areas such as ball-bearing plants, German defenses are further weakened. Mark 10:52 takes a look at the tactical air force, and its offensive actions coordinated with ground troops. By gaining air superiority, isolating the battlefield, and joining in combat with ground troops, the enemy can be further neutralized, we are told. The film continues by discussing additional roles served by the air forces in a theater, before again turning attention to the specific role of a tactical air force at mark 15:20, including reconnaissance and fighter aviation. The success of any land-based operation, we are again reminded at mark 22:05, relie...</video:description><video:content_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1973d6d4-60f9-4ba5-8654-c06880e482f1/4ad8d7db-4d14-4a37-808a-fe51b689f3a0-master.m3u8</video:content_loc><video:player_loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/videos/embed/49hZErhrxgd14iwzqCKTNz</video:player_loc><video:duration>2880</video:duration><video:rating>0</video:rating><video:view_count>0</video:view_count><video:publication_date>2026-06-10T23:09:14.532Z</video:publication_date><video:tag>Periscope Film</video:tag><video:tag>Stock Footage</video:tag><video:tag>4K</video:tag><video:tag>HD</video:tag><video:tag>2K</video:tag><video:family_friendly>YES</video:family_friendly><video:uploader info="https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos">Historical Archive</video:uploader><video:live>NO</video:live></video:video></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/c/dangerous_channel/videos</loc></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/c/interesting/videos</loc></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/c/music/videos</loc></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/c/historical/videos</loc></url><url><loc>https://peertube.dngr.us/a/amal/video-channels</loc></url></urlset>
