Colorado Ski Museum/Ski Hall of Fame

Log Number: MA-05-12-0095-12

The Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum will digitize 100 historic films and 300 videos from its collection, which spans more than 70 years and includes footage of the 10th Mountain Division of the U.S. Army, interviews with Hall of Fame inductees, ski racing competitions, and adaptive/Paralympics alpine and Nordic teams. A motion picture laboratory will digitize the films, and trained volunteers will convert VHS videos to DVD format. The project will develop a searchable index of film subjects and make the materials available on the museum’s website. The digitized works will be shown at the museum and in two visitor welcome centers during the World Alpine Ski Championships in Vail and Beaver Creek, Colorado, in 2015. Additional information will be accessible via smartphones.
