Our collection encompasses exclusive, proprietary content alongside an extensive assortment of public domain footage, offering our clients unparalleled access to distinctive and historically significant materials.
Our exclusive collection includes critical "man on the street" video footage of the World Trade Center attack on 9/11, vintage home movies, and an expansive video library from the 1980s and 1990s. We offer various royalty-free licensing tiers suitable for non-broadcast, broadcast, and feature film projects, providing the flexibility to meet your project's specific requirements.
Our extensive range of non-proprietary content encompasses films, cartoons, short subjects, television shows, TV commercials, public service announcements (PSAs), newsreels, presidential speeches, and works produced by the U.S. military and government. This content is primarily in the public domain, and we provide source documentation and licensing to that effect.
