Preserve Crestview history in home movies

In an effort to expand and improve the documentation of Texas history and culture, the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI), with the help of the Office of the Governor's Texas Film Commission, is searching for Texas-related moving images to include in our online library of streaming video. To encourage participation, TAMI is offering free transfers of film and video to DVD for those willing to donate a digital copy of their materials to TAMI's online library.

Whether a home movie of a family at the park or an advertisement for a local business, moving images provide vibrant records of our lives and communities that should be preserved and shared. Help us to preserve your neighborhood's moving images by spreading the word about TAMI's free digitization program. This is an exciting opportunity to develop a collection of community-based film and video that can be shared both via TAMI's online library and through community screenings and educational programs like TAMI's Texas Film Round-up, kicking off in Austin in February 2009.

More information can be found on our website (http://www.texasarchive.org/tfc.html) or by contacting TAMI at (512) 485-3073 or round-up@texasarchive.org. See moving images that have already been contributed by searching the TAMI online library:

Help us to make sure your neighborhood is represented!
