Rick Prelinger founded the Prelinger Archives in 1982 with the mission of preserving “ephemeral films.” These pieces of “throwaway media” include newsreel-type documentaries, works of political propaganda, instructional productions for use in schools and workplaces, and a great many home movies that offer candid glimpses into everyday American lives.
You can access the free online collections at the Internet Archive (which contains 9,229 films) and YouTube.
