Summary

The Beaver Island Civic Association planned to create color films of the island for showing to civic groups. Rogers Carlisle agreed to assemble two 400-foot films from his own footage for copying, while a third sports film was hoped for the following year.

Evidence and limits

The notice records a planned media-preservation project, not completed films or screenings. It does not establish the footage’s ownership, format, cost, or final disposition.

Open questions

  • Were the two films copied, and where are the masters or viewing copies?
