Internet Archive: Details: [Amateur film: Summers collection: San Francisco, California, 1941] (Part I):

Here's a much lighter piece, a nice home movie of San Francisco in the early 1940s.


"Evocative silent Kodachrome compendium of San Francisco scenes just before the U.S. entered World War II, concentrating on aerials, Chinatown, Market Street, and transportation scenes."

Producer: Summers, John H.
Audio/Visual: Si, C
Keywords: San Francisco: Scenics: Historical

Internet Archive: Details: The Jonestown Death Tape (FBI No. Q 042):

"An audio recording made on November 18, 1978, at the Peoples Temple compound in Jonestown, Guyana immediately preceding and during the mass suicide or murder of over 900 members of the cult."

Devastating and surreal. This was apparently recorded over a audio palimpsest of pop songs, slowed down to a syrupy dirge, backward? Just saw the excellent documentary on PBS, "Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple"
