The Mountaineers Archives - Movies On Film Home
These films were transferred from The Mountaineers to University of Washington Special Collections in 2011 as the result of a 10+ year preservation effort led by Lowell Skoog. Video clips available through this page were prepared to build support for this project. The UW's digital collection of Mountaineer films is now available online here.
