Item Information

Title:
Springfield College video: dance classes & sports
Description:
This is a black and white video that is over 59 minutes long. The vast majority of the video, a full 51 and a half minutes, consists of what looks like Springfield College Dance classes. There is audio with piano music that the students dance to. After this, it switches to slow motion basketball with no audio. First there are shots of men playing a game. This may be a class or practice as they are not wearing uniforms. Then there are women playing. This may be the varsity basketball team or a class as they are wearing uniforms that have also been seen in photographs of early women's teams. The final 30 seconds of the video has gymnastics. The video is in terrible shape. Technician digitizing the film was unable to get it to lock, so the video is never clear and everything is jumping and covered in lines. See Item note for more information. Technician who digitized video wrote, "Black & white with audio on both channels. This tape was not EIAJ, but CV-2000, an open reel 1/2" tape used even before EIAJ. This tape is very poor quality. It received much extra baking and cleaning and the encode was attempted multiple times with this being the best one we could get. Picture never locks fully and it appears to be playing just slightly off speed. Content is piano and dancing until 51:25 when it switches to slow motion basketball with no audio.and then finally gymnastics for about the last :30 of the tape. Ends in snow."; The case had a tape label that reads, "Reel A." This tape label is holding down an index card which has four hand drawn columns in blue ink with headings. The first line has writing that is crossed out that says "1-A, 1/21/69, volleyball, --." the second line reads 1-A, 1/25/69, womens gymnastics, 2/3/69" The third line is blank. The fourth line is in pencil and reads "Save 1/14/70" The last line is in blue pen and reads "Penn State";
