The Missouri State University Historical Films (part of the University Audiovisual Collection (RG 32)) in Meyer Library’s Special Collections and Archives include footage of events at the university, such as homecoming and basketball games from the 1940s-1980s, plus one film with scenes from a football gamedating back to 1923.  Other films in the collection are promotional films, such as the 1953 film “Careers in Science,” featuring university classes and activities, the Weather Bureau at the Springfield-Greene County Airport, the Frisco Laboratory, nursing training at St. John’s Hospital, and Producers Creamery Company; and the 1942-1944 film “Your College in Southwest Missouri,” showing campus buildings, administrators, classes, and activities (such as dancing, debate, swimming, and military training).  Most are silent, but “Careers in Science” has sound. These films have been almost completely digitized and made available online. To view the digitized films, see the playlist on the MSU Libraries’ YouTube channel.  For more information, contact Special Collections and Archives.
