The video clips were all shot on 16mm black and white film without a sound track during the early 1970s. They were converted to VHS (NTSC and subsequently PAL) prior to digitisation.
The video resources have been digitised from 16mm film located in the Provincial Museum and Archives of Alberta, deposits number 88.634/5, 88.634/7, and 88.634/8, and shot by A C Lynn Zelmer with the assistance of Amy Elliott Zelmer and Robert N Christie.
