A mind-boggling accumulation of approximately 200 original VHS videocassettes containing somewhere between 400-500 collective hours; possibly more, of rare, unusual, and unseen archival footage , gathered from all corners of the globe. There are theatrical agency promotional videos of acts seeking employment; privately shot documentations of countless circuses large and small, sideshow attractions, carnival footage, burlesque and girl show material, etc. There are even film transfers from vintage 8mm and 16mm motion picture films, television new clips, broadcast specials, documentaries, and much more. There is a modest inclusion of commercially available tapes, as well, but the largest concentration in this collection is of privately amassed material. As can be expected, quality will vary somewhat, from tape-to-tape. All tapes appear to be in VG/VG+ condition, and a number of them have been visually spot-checked for playback accuracy, as well. Assembled from various theatrical agencies, circus historians, and researchers, the span of time represented dates back into the later 1920's. Cond A-/C.
