Historic Sports Films of Otterbein University

From 1940 to 1990, Otterbein University recorded its football games on 16mm film. In the early 2000s, the Athletics Department gave these films to the University Archive. Twenty years later, a combination of technology, financial support, and scholarly insight has allowed us to begin digitizing the films. Join us at the Westerville Public Library on Friday, September 16th at 7:30 for the program - A Moving Legacy: Historic Sports Films of Otterbein. Otterbein Archivist Stephen D.Grinch, and Project Consultant Dr. Rusty Wilson, will tell you the history of the films, how the project came into being, and then showcasesome of the unexpected treasures hidden in these dusty old reels.
