This is a video of San Francisco from the 1940’s that’s been remastered (including a boost to 60FPS, enhanced to HD, improved sharpness and brightness, stabilized, denoised, and deblurred) and had color and ambient sound added. What a trip down memory lane this must be if you’re like 120 now.

Traveling even further back in time than that 2001 BBC news report about cameraphones comes this January 31, 1978 Talking Heads performance of ‘Psycho Killer’ on a British music television program called ‘Old Grey Whistle Test.’ Catchy name. I actually love ‘Psycho Killer’ and used to play it all the

This is a video from Thomas Edison’s motion picture studio of the first ever copyrighted film, The Blacksmith Shop, filmed by Edison’s assistant W.K.L. Dickson, and delivered to the Library of Congress for copyrighting in August of 1893. Granted it’s not a particularly exciting film, but historic nonetheless. Ah, August,

This is a video of 1930’s London that’s been remastered, stabilized, and upscaled to high definition and 60FPS with AI.

This is a video documenting launch day of the iMac at a CompUSA store in Alexandria, Virginia on August 15, 1998 — just over 24 years ago. The interviews with the Apple reps and customers are great. As my mom would say, it’s a real hoot. I remember when I

This is some recently unearthed footage of New Orleans from way back in 1898 when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. The video features six floats from that year’s Mardi Gras parade (the theme was ‘Harvest Queens’), and more than one time traveler I was able to spot by zooming and

These are two videos from Ryan Briggs featuring the last day of school at Glendora High School in California circa 1999 and 2001. God, I remember 1999 — just like it was 23 years ago. Which is to say not very well at best. I guarantee my body didn’t ache
