I think its better to digitize than be medium specific about it, especially with video. Most early video for consumer grade use was poor quality/poor image anyways. Though it had a certain aesthetic, i’m not sure we’re ever going to re-create the way people approached it back then without a time machine back to the 1970s.

Should we digitize/update them to a newer viewing form or is it necessary to watch it on the original deck it was ment for?

The archives on the site are those of the Center and Ralph and Sherry Hocking.
