Looking for footage from the Depression Era or the swingin' 60s? HBO Archives® may have just what you need. They've announced that complete episodes from The March of Time, the award-winning newsreel and documentary series produced by Time Inc. from 1935 to 1967, can now be found online.
Barbara Thomas, senior vice president, HBO Sports®, said, “We are thrilled to put portions of this vast, unique collection online for instant access to researchers. Unlike the traditional news-style featurettes of the Hollywood newsreels, the long-form documentary style of The March of Time newsreels stood out from its competitors. This series is priceless for all of today’s storytellers.”
Available programs feature such diverse topics as the US military, the birth of swing, business “girls” in the big city, Wall Street, the oil and tobacco industries, consumer fraud and classical ballet. High-speed searching, clip preview and download, and access to tens of thousands of clips can be found through the stock footage portal at www.hboarchives.com/marchoftime.
