Movies of Local People, 1936-1942

Extent:
50 Linear Feet
Scope and content:

Moving image resources, including all extant reels and access copies, from H. Lee Waters' Movies of Local People. Where legacy paper shotlists (descriptions by scene) exist, note that they may not match the time stamps of the latest transfers of the film. Also note that descriptive practices around gender and race have shifted over time and there may be variations within the shotlists. Where available, newer time-stamped shotlists accompany videos in the H. Lee Waters collection in the Duke Digital Repository (https://repository.duke.edu/dc/hleewaters).

Language:
English
Arrangement:

Arranged alphabetically by town name. Where digital access files have been made, they will be the first resource listed under the town/date, and can be viewed within this guide or through the Duke Digital Repository. Where access copies such as videotapes and DVDs contain multiple transfers of film reels of the same town and date (e.g., Reel 1, Reel 2 compiled into one tape or DVD), those copies will be listed under the entry for Reel 1 rather than repeat for each reel entry.
