Makes me wonder how much history is being stored in people’s attics or basements waiting to be unearthed.
For a short while I ran a business predicated on that very principle. It was based on looking for old 8mm/16mm film reels in people’s attics. There was quite a lot. Family holiday films and the like do have a lot of contemporary documentary value. Many of these film camera owners filmed much more than their loved ones.
Imagine how much more there is if you include later video cameras and then digital cameras and phones!
