Where can I view the old (often cheesy) filmstrips that they showed in classrooms from the 1940s to 70s?
According to Wikipedia, filmstrips were shown mostly to the baby boomer generation schoolkids of the U.S. and U.K. Coronet Instructional Media was one of the leading producers of filmstrip presentations, and science constituted one of the leading subjects.
The instructor would turn on a film projector that would show the first slide. The instructor would, then, turn on a 33 RPM record or cassette tape, containing narration. At the appropriate point a tone would sound, signalling the instructor to advance to the next slide.
You might try your local library. Some libraries have copies of old-style filmstrips. I imagine that some of these filmstrips were issued by the government, so you might try the Library of Congress. You might also try ebay.
