This segment is designed to show the public and those studying home movies for historical purposes how home movies can be seen as important historical artifacts. Many people don’t think films about their families from various time periods could be of any historical importance, but they can often be mistaken. There is also a page that presents what types of repositories one might want to take certain home movie collections based on both content and format of the films, as well as various ethical and legal stipulations related to donating materials.
Below is a short promotional video for Home Movie Day, which is coordinated by the Center for Home Movies. This institution is a forerunner in ensuring that home movies are preserved and exhibited for their historical importance.
