I am a graduate student in history at NYU,
also working for a certificate in archival studies. I volunteer at a
local community archive.
In a collection I am processing are
approximately 50 reels of developed film, about one-quarter inch in width,
with a single line of spocket holes in the center of the film. The reels are dated 1926 to 1929 and
are contained in their original mailers, which are preaddressed to
Pathex, Inc., 1 Congress Street, Jersey City, New Jersey. Copy on the
back of the mailer advertises that the package contains "1 magazine of
non-inflammable film for the Pathex Motion Picture Camera."
I believe that the photographer worked for
Pathe at the time.
I am seeking an exact description of the
medium and a source to have to images transferred to a modern
medium.
Thanks for any help you can give
me.
