Scope and content

Approximately 500 hours of Hungarian amateur home movies (predominant 1925 - 1985). Most of the footage was shot in Hungary, some in Central and Western Europe, some overseas. The majority of the amateur footage provides a special insight into family lives (children, family holidays, travels), though the collection also includes recordings of historic events as seen through private eyes. Of particular value are recordings of the 1956 Hungarian revolution.
