Historical Films
When your parents and grandparents were in school, teachers often used films to assist them inteaching their students about Alaska and oil and gas.  By today's standards, these films may seem a bit corny, but they are fun to watch.   Some things have changed a great deal in 50 years and its amazing how others have not changed at all.   Watch these films and try to imagine yourself as a student in the late 50's.  The movies are in Microsoft's WMV format and can be played on both Mac and Windows PC's using the Microsoft Media Player.  Choose Low for slow internet, medium for cable/dsl and high for direct/ lan connection.
