Summary

The October 2005 Beaver Beacon reported that films and videos Jack Cull recorded over more than fifty years of Beaver Island life were missing from his former home. The appeal sought their return so they could be copied for the Museum and people who had requested event footage.

Evidence limits

The appeal documents the reported loss and preservation plan, not who removed the material or whether it was later recovered.

  1. Beaver Beacon, October 2005, "Who Took Jack's Tapes?"
    Reports that films and videos Jack Cull recorded over more than 50 years were missing from his former home just as the Society had acquired equipment to transfer them to DVDs, and asks that they be returned without questions. No public copy of this file is known; the archive holds one and can provide it on request.
