             VIDEO COLLECTION
There are also several very interesting short videos which may be of interest to our viewers.  They are:
The Nevada County Landmarks Commission recently released a video (August 2017) about some of the historical landmarks in Nevada County.  Among other landmarks, this short video showcases our own Memorial Arch behind the Old Jail Museum.


​
Dick Joseph's homemade movie clips from the 1930s (11:21 minutes) (digitized from color 16 MM film) showcases parts of Truckee including Old U.S. Highway 40, Donner Lake, Donner Summit, other Sierra Nevada landmarks, as well as iconic footage of the Golden Gate Bridge .

And the ever-fascinating footage of the January 1952 snowboard train (2:53 minutes),
The City of San Francisco, marooned on Donner Pass for 3 days with 226 passengers.
