AT&T Archives films coming to Youtube!

[paul-f]

For your long weekend and summer vacation enjoyment, the AT&T Archives and History Center is loading some of their film collection on Youtube in the ATTTechChannel.

To help get you in the mood for Monday's celebrations, Cold War fans will appreciate "Seconds for Survival" (1959), which includes White Alice, SAGE and the national warning system -- not to mention film of blowing up targets.

From there you can easily access the rest.  Hopefully there will be more to come!

Happy Fourth of July!

It's at approximately 1:20 into the video.  It's very rare to see Bell System picture phones in actual use as opposed to staged, marketing footage.
