The 1951 Films of the Princeton Boys Leaving for Korea Are Now Available On The Internet

   We are pleased to report that the project to digitize the 2600 feet of 1951  16 mm films of the Princeton "boys" taken by Charlie Henschel has been completed.  The films are now available world wide 24 / 7 at the Minnesota Digital Library:  https://collection.mndigital.org/catalog?utf8=%E2%9C%93&facet.sort=index&search_field=all_fields&q=henschel  

Thanks to the visionaries who took these films, showed them in the Strand Theater week by week in 1951, the family that preserved the films for 70 years and to the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund for supporting the work of the Minnesota Digital Library to make unique records of Minnesota life available to all.                

Fall 2020
