Page-Frick Media: Open reel recording of family singalong (circa 1956)

About this collection

The 100th anniversary of the birth of Mamie Frick Page is September 15, 2013. This collection is released to celebrate her life.

This is the more or less complete collection I have of family media other than photos. The videos of Mamie and Franklin made while they were alive date from the early 1980s. They were distributed originally on VHS video tape, then later on DVD. The complete collection is included here as MPEG4 video files suitable for Internet use. There is some redundancy, as some clips are short episodes extracted from other longer clips.

There are also many old audio recordings, some with origin back to the 1950s. The oldest of these were recorded on a suitcase size open reel tape recorder that Franklin purchased along with 3 other colleagues at Life of Virginia in Salisbury. A few from the 1960s were recorded on later open reel tape recorders. And those from the 1970s were recorded on portable cassette recorders.

Though I have attempted to make this the "complete" collection, I know it is not. Every few days I think of something that hasn't yet been added. So I envision that this will be an ongoing project that continues to grow for some time.
