  • Project to Preserve UNI Football Films 1958-'75

    The UNI Foundation posted this on Facebook this week.

    The Rod Library and the University of Northern Iowa Museum are trying to raise $10,000 to digitize more than 250 films from this time period before the film degrades to the the point of no return.

    Bump ... seven days left to reach the goal.

      They should start a collection at the next home game. Have donation jars at each concession stand. If people are willing to spend $5 or more on the 50/50 raffle, they should be willing to donate for preserving a piece of history.

        Last bump ... one more day to reach the goal.

          Goal met, with hours to spare.

          Hopefully, we will get to see some of these archives at some point.

          Until then, some Randy Schultz highlights from 1963:

            And here they are, streaming and downloadable.

            The email message sent by the library today states that 2/3 of the films of UNI Football from 1958-75 have been digitized, but the page with the videos states 1/3 has been digitized:

            In fall 2017, Rod Library Special Collections & University Archives successfully completed a PawPrint fundraising campaign with the UNI Foundation to digitize this collection of football films. With donor support, approximately one third of the collection has been digitized to date.


            They are still taking donations to finish the project:
