PBS VIDEO DATABASE OF AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE
ALPHABETICAL LISTS OF VIDEOTAPES AND AUDIOTAPES
Videotapes (about 1000 tapes), CD/ROM information sources (about 300), and
some audio-cassettes, which are included among the videotapes, are listed below
in broad subject categories. They are available for loan for use by students or
teachers at home or in the classroom. They may be reserved in advance: call x1402
or x1401. If no answer, leave a message on our voice mail.
From outside the building dial 739-5942. VCRs, monitors, and
tape players must be arranged through the academic departments. The library
does not lend out this equipment. We can demonstrate videotapes and CD/ROMs -
BY APPOINTMENT. There are computers available for independent use of CD/ROMS in
the library. Teachers may arrange with a librarian to bring a class to the
Reference Room to view a videotape there.
Also listed are 69 videotapes stored in the Teachers' Center (marked:TC),
and 32 videotapes stored in the English Department (marked:ED).
To help teachers of different subjects identify useful materials, each
videotape may be listed in more than one subject area. However, each CD/ROM is
listed in only one of the subject areas. Therefore teachers looking for useful
CD/ROMS in one subject area may want to look over the listings in other subject
areas to discover useful materials. Examples of such materials are the History
Through Art CD/ROM series and the History and Culture of... series,
both listed under Social Studies.
Students are permitted to borrow materials
listed here if they agree on a specific date of return, usually in 1 or 3 days.
This will insure that materials are not forgotten and that more students have
an opportunity to use them.
Questions about movies come up often. Which actors starred in which
version of Hamlet? What year did Frank Capra direct It's a Wonderful
Life? What other films did he direct? In which production of Julius
Caesar did Marlon Brando play the role of Marc Antony? Answers to questions
like these can be found on the web in the Internet
Movie Database. Click on this link to get to the IMDB. When your
browser opens the IMDB, plug in the name of the movie you want to know about in
the box in the upper left hand corner that says Search the database for.
You should be able to find all of the movies listed below. The IMDB will
give you a short, or long, plot outline, a review by Leonard Maltin, memorable
quotes, a list of the complete cast and the role each actor played, runtime and
other information which may help teachers and students prepare lessons or
assignments. Of course, the short educational documentaries will not be covered
by the IMDB. Some of these may be found in the web site for The Library Video Company
which offers descriptive information about many short stories, biographies and
other videos, including those produced by Schlessinger Media and Schlessinger
Science Library. Still another source of information is Films for Humanities which
includes links to the BBC
Educational Collection and Cambridge
Educational films.
We strongly urge teachers to preview tapes they plan to use in class.
While we have selected these tapes from vendors' lists which claim to offer
material suitable for high school students, we can not guarantee that they
actually are suitable because we have not screened and evaluated each one. As
you may know, works of literature that are suitable for high school in the
original edition are sometimes changed in the screen version in a way that
makes them clearly unsuitable for use in your lessons for high school students.
Many of the films on this list have been rated by The Motion Picture Association
of America, (MPAA) which recommends voluntary compliance so that
children are not exposed to films that are inappropriate for them. The ratings
appear on the tape packaging and on the tape's label. Some of the films have
been assigned an "R" rating, which means they are "Restricted,"
i. e., "children under 17 require an accompanying parent or adult
guardian." Some others are labelled (by the publisher) "Not
Rated." This means that if they were rated, the rating could be "R"
or any of the other possible ratings.
In 1996, the National Association of Broadcasters, the National Cable
Television Association and the Motion Picture Association of
Teachers must use their judgement when using an "R" rated film
(or any film) in a lesson and be prepared to skip over any sections that they
consider inappropriate or objectionable to students, parents or guardians.
Don't embarrass yourself by using a film that you thought would fit into your
lesson but which you didn't actually preview. It takes more time but it's time
well spent.
Keep in mind also the great variety of ways that audio-visual material
can be used. For instance, selected portions of a long video may be shown as
part of a lesson, instead of the whole of a long tape. Remember: "The
videotape is not the lesson." Teachers agree that simply showing a
videotape for the entire period is usually not appropriate or effective as a
teaching method. Showing short segments of long tapes to stimulate discussion
or writing activities or to illustrate a particular point will be much more
effective.
Teachers can help make this collection more useful. First, of course,
rewind the tapes after you use them. Return tapes and CDs in the boxes or cases
in which you received them. If you find homeless videotapes lying about in your
classrooms, offices or at home, they may belong to the library. Please send
them to us.
"M" or "W" in parentheses indicates that the disk
will run on "M"acintosh computers or on MS/DOS computers running
"W"indows (3.1 or '95 or '98). Printed documentation of the program
is usually limited to the jewel case booklets, though there are usually "readme"
files on the disk. Such CD/ROMs are usually intended for individual use.
CD/ROMs for use by groups are typically accompanied by more detailed
suggestions for teachers. Those cases have been noted.

midwestern landscapes and laborers they celebrated. This film uses long-lost

D. W.
Frank Lloyd Wright. PBSVDBAHC. Volume 281. Wright and Olgivanna began the Taliesin Fellowship, taking on
apprentices who would "learn by doing." With Fallingwater Wright
regained critics' acclaim with Wright masterfully employing modern principles
and materials in an organic relationship to the landscape. His Usonian houses,
on the otherhand, provided high-quality housing designed to be mass-produced
for under $5,000. In 1937, the Fellowship began its annual pilgrimage to the
American Photography, A Century of Images. PBSVDBAHC Series. Three videotapes:
The Developing Image. Volume 314. Early in the 20th century, the 'Brownie'--the first
affordable camera for the masses--was introduced. Over the next three decades,
photographs are taken and used in myriad ways: to capture the vanishing Native
American way of life in the West, to study and refine the way we work, to
highlight social causes that require our attention, as a propaganda tool in the
waging of war, to sell products, create media celebrities out of athletes and
actors, and provide objective data in the advancement of science. Photography is
slowly integrating itself into the fabric of our lives.
The Photographic Age. Volume 315. The Golden Age of photography begins as the
Associated Press institutes a new 'wire' system of photo distribution.
Suddenly, photos of an event half way around the world are seen everywhere at
the same time. Photography affects the media in other ways as well, with the
advent of LIFE, the first large format magazine, and tabloids. During the Great
Depression, photos are used to 'sell' New Deal programs. Images made in WWII
are another kind of propaganda tool: highly censored, they present a glorious,
sanitized view of war. In the 1950s photographs are used to demonstrate how we
are all members of "The Family of Man," and to jumpstart the civil
rights movement.

Lift Every Voice - I'LL MAKE ME A WORLD SERIES. PBSVDBAHC. Volume 290 The series' opening hour looks at the trials and
triumphs of the first generation of African-American artists born to freedom.
Bert Williams and George Walker forge careers as vaudeville stars. Performing
within a racist minstrel tradition, they nonetheless make a living as black
artists, infusing minstrelsy with genuine elements of black culture. In New
Orleans, talented musicians create the innovative and exuberant sounds of
ragtime and jazz, music that comes to be identified as quintessentially
American. And a powerful new medium--film--allows Oscar Micheaux to make motion
pictures that present the complexities of African-American life at a time when
many white filmmakers were promoting dangerous racial stereotypes. Produced by
Blackside, Inc. Film and Television Productions, 1998.

That Rhythm, Those Blues. PBSVDBAHC. Volume
14. In the small towns and cities of the
South in the 1940s and 1950s, black rhythm and blues singers performed in
warehouses, tobacco barns, movie theaters, and halls. The endless one-night
stands, makeshift housing, and inadequate transportation were all steps toward
the big time at the famed Apollo Theatre in Harlem. It was here that the most
talented and most recognized black performers played swing, jazz, and soul--the
innovative music styles of the time. This is the story of camaraderie tested by
racial tension and of the great financial and artistic success of rhythm and
blues. Produced by George T. Nierenberg, 1988.
