"Meet" you in Jackson! More rare film…

The below 8mm film was shot in 1937 at a track meet in Jackson, Mississippi.  The film was brought to us by Oxford resident Margaret Grantham.  The film was shot by her father, and we are very thankful that she is allowing us to share these clips with you.  Who knows, someone out there may see a relative in this bunch of track contestants.  Let us know if you do!

Also, as a reminder, be sure to search your family’s attics and cedar chests for gems like this.  If you’ve got old 8mm or 16mm films from your family’s history, contact us about preserving and transferring them soon!  My number is 662-915-3475.

Thanks,
