  2. Man, I loved the #NewsReel, although I'd only been a subscriber for something like four or five years back in the early 90's. It was one magazine that helped me through lonely times, when I really didn't have much to do. Unfortunately, no I didn't archive any of it. But yeah, that would be a cool mag to collect and remember things from.

  3. The recovered newsreels that recounted the Spanish Civil War in the US: ‘A nation divided threatens to destroy itself’.

  4. Let's visit Chichen Itza! In 1931!
    Our tour guide is Sylvanus Morley, the preeminent Mayanist of the period between the World Wars, overseeing excavations and restorations of the site for the Carnegie Institution.

    Not everything he says may meet best academic understanding 90+ years later, but a treat to see.
