WWIIPublicDomain

I am a disabled former librarian with a degenerative genetic connective tissue disorder.

When I feel up to it, I research the public domain WWII videos in the National Archives, fix the errors, make HD versions, and upload them to YouTube and Internet Archive (where they are freely downloadable). I also digitize film from my own collection (those items do not reference the National Archives in their descriptions.) It gives me something to do while I am laying here. :) My channel doesn't have ads (is not monetized).

If you cite my items or use my research, please credit my YouTube channel or my archive at Archive.org: "WWII Public Domain."
