Re: [AMIA-L] Information sought for a patron

Mr. Berry and friend,

Although the estimable Peter Bregman has the Titan's share of Fox
Movietone, the University of South Carolina Newsfilm Archive has some
Movietone material, particularly from the 1920's and early 1930's.

I know that we have film relating to the Cascade Tunnel, the Chicago
World's Fair, Boulder (or Hoover) Dam, the Holland Tunnel, and the
Empire State Building.

Here is our online catalog:

Additional material can be accessed through our researcher, Andrew
Murdoch at amurdoch@sc.edu .
