Open the Archives

While sweeping up the Halls last night, I stumbled across this box of old film reels from the National Archives. It's a whole bunch of newsreels from WWII as well as some about the history of NASA and Department of the Interior motion pictures that ran during the Depression. It's a pretty nifty way to get in touch with Americas past the way my grandparents got in touch with it's present. There weren't a bucketload of 24 hour news channels back in those days. Unfortunately the Halls do not posess the technology to post any of the films here, but fortunately Google Video has been kind enough to host them here.

Also, the National Archives and Records Administration has some pretty cool things worth checking out on their website, including many pictures from WWII (like the one above), helps for researching a geaneology or family history, and resources if you're just brushing up on your knowledge of the Declaration of Independence. It's a very cool and essential stop for the history buff. Please check them out and enjoy the videos. Until next time........................
