Newman Library has a 16mm film collection of approximately 1600 titles. This collection has been built over the last 60 years, and contains films on subjects ranging from agriculture to metallurgy to war as well as several feature films. There are also several films in the collection that were produced on campus at VT in the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Periodically, we pull select titles from this collection and put them on display in our front yard.
In case of bad weather, the films will be shown indoors in the 6th floor boardroom.
