National Press Club Films Restored with Grant Funding from the National Film Preservation Foundation
In the fall of 2006, the National Press Club Archives received funding from the National Film Preservation Foundation to restore and digitize two films. Both films feature National Press Club activities from the 1950s and give us a glimpse into the life of the Club during that era. The films are now restored and available for viewing by the general public.
The 1954 Family Frolic film is a ten-minute silent color home movie taken by one of the members. It features a baseball game between the press and Congress, helicopter rides, horse rides, and an array of summer activities.
Scenes from the National Press Club is a collection of scenes of the Club and the building, also shot during the 1950s. The film is a black and white silent film which begins with images of the exterior of the building and moves into the Club, showing members checking in and out, and consulting the newspaper rack for news and press releases.
Both films can be viewed by appointment in the archives, which is located at 529 14th Street, NW, Suite 480, Washington, DC 20045. To make an appointment contact Christina Zamon, Archivist for the National Press Club, at 202-662-7598 or email.
