Free Public Domain Footage and Documents!
Looking for additional footage and other media to enhance
your budget-conscious video? Your government provides free footage, photos,
etc. in a gazillion different categories. One little known area at The National
Archives—DocsTeach—offers students and teachers and producers access to many one-of-a-kind
documents. For example, under “Historical Era” choose: Revolution and the New Nation, Expansion and Reform, Civil War and
Reconstruction, the Development of the Industrial U.S., Emergence of Modern
America and the Great Depression to find audio/video, charts, graphs, images,
photos, maps and written documents.
Fascinating photographs of the Civil War
era include this wonderful shot with enlisted men on the deck of the Monitor, ca.
early 1860’s. And that's just a tiny segment of the vast holdings of the National
Archives and Records Administration, www.archives.gov;
and www.docteach.org. For help with the
collection of appropriate materials for your project or to discuss original
footage, contact CMS: www.creativecms.net.
