| American Widescreen Museum | This visually busy site includes three exhibits that should interest historians of film and sound technology. These pages include information about the technologies used in color and sound production as well as their history (Did you know that the first "talkie" was shown in Mobile, Alabama in 1926?). The site provides useful explanations of film technology for a non-technical audience and thus they can be followed by individuals unfamiliar with these processes. The site is not particularly academic, yet scholars will find a trove of images and a useful introduction to the subject. |
