Moving Image Inventories
The Moving Image Collections held by the Nebraska State Historical Society contain over 6 million feet of motion picture film and thousands of vintage videotape formats, all relating to Nebraska by virtue of their content or production. Moving images date from 1900 to the recent past. The collections contain many genres, such as home movies, sponsored and promotional works, public service films, local television news footage, and Nebraska-made “local talent” films. The content is particularly rich in agriculture and ranching activities, town scenes, domestic life, Native Americans, aviation, railroads, and Nebraska businesses.
Access to the collections is accomplished through consultation with the Curator of Audiovisual Collections. Moving images are digitized on demand, and there may be a cost. Media producers may be required to pay use fees. Please review our fees for the Use of Moving Images and Sound Recordings for more information.
For examples from the moving image collections, see the Nebraska State Historical Society Youtube Channel’s archival moving image playlist. Additional information about various moving image collections can also be found by searching the online Collections Database.
