Football and Basketball Games Dating Back to the 1960’s

HIGH SCHOOL GAME FILMS CONVERTED

Since 2015 the Donora Historical Society has been converting football and basketball game films from 16mm to DVD and are now available to the public at an affordable price. Some games feature extensive footage of parent’s nights, football coaches, cheerleaders and bands. Most games cost $25/game plus S&H. Other games may cost less due to film length and quality.

For games that have yet to be converted, there is a cost to transfer to DVD that includes a copy charge. This cost can range from $40 to $70 depending on the game's length. If you are interested in a particular game that hasn't been converted, please let us know by sending an email.

Please consult our website www.donorahistoricalsociety.org and select the “Game Films” tab for a complete inventory. Please email us at donorahistoricalsociety@gmail.com or call us at 724-823-0364 and leave a message with any questions.

If your game is not in our inventory, we do not know where it may be and we’re not aware of anyone else doing a project like this.

All proceeds benefit the Donora Historical Society in completing this project.

This month we are featuring game films from two area high schools:

Clairton
Thomas Jefferson (TJ)

For other high schools, please check our website for the full list that includes basketball games.
