The Clarke film project update

-

 


After over a decade of processing and describing Channel 9 & 10 News film we are finally working with raw film footage from 1980. While there was a limited quantity of film up to 1969, there was a vast quantity from the 1970s. There is not much 1980-1982 alpha/chrono film. This was how the 9 & 10 crew organized the daily raw film footage they shot all over Michigan. See A-19-80 above. We hope to complete the alpha/chrono series by May 2026. Then we will have some Eye On Michigan, stock footage,  and miscellaneous film to process. The majority of the collection has now been processed and described. It has been a haul to get to 1980! Many thanks to my two current and awesome film processing students Max M. and Rebekah H. and the many prior film students whose work contributed to the success of this student-powered film project.

After finishing the CMU Honors Collection (10 cubic feet) right before the start of the term, I spent much of this school year processing the remaining boxes in the C.S. Bliss collection. The portion of the collection I processed contained mostly financial and business records, including camp orders, check stubs, and bank vouchers and statements. The collection is now fully processed and includes a total of  90 cubic feet of material.                                                                ...

1979 AuSable Canoe Race Marathon

  Recently, while processing and describing Channel 9 & 10 News film footage we found a segment of the 1979 AuSable Canoe Race Marathon showing some other race activities, and some of the top finishers. Here are a few images from that segment. The last two images are, I believe, Butch Stockton (brunette) and his partner Bob Welsh (blonde)  heading towards the bank and being briefly interviewed about how sick Butch was all night. They finished fourth that year according to the race statistics. You can Google a longer video online of the end of the race at https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Ztpi6xRtZqE.  For the stats see https://www.ausablecanoemarathon.org/stats-and-history/past-race-results/.
