Do you remember the clatter of the projector while images of family, friends and faraway places danced on a screen? Well, even if you don’t, you’re sure to enjoy Nebraska’s first “Home Movie Day,” a tribute to amateur movie making. You’re invited to this special event, at which you’ll see gems from the Nebraska State Historical Society’s large collection of home movies, and learn how to care for your own.

Organizations and "how-to" literature, like this book from 1939, helped amateur filmmakers refine their hobby.
