The Detroit Video History Archive features nearly 170 hours of newly digitized film footage from 350 pieces of media. It combines rarely seen items from the Detroit Historical Society collection (including promotional materials for the Society and Detroit Historical Museum, public domain third-party footage—such as news reels, amateur and home footage—and promotional material related to local events and businesses) and the collection of the City of Detroit Communications Department, which was acquired by the Society in October 2013. This collection features film items related to city events, public appearances by elected officials, area festivals and celebrations and public access program footage, dating from 1972 to 2010.
