Seattle Municipal Archives Moving Image Collection


The Moving Image Collection Index contains descriptions of analog film, videotape, and digital video in the Seattle Municipal Archives. The database includes both finished products and unedited footage. Most of the material was created by City departments, the majority from Seattle City Light, the Seattle Department of Engineering, and the Seattle Channel. However, content not created by City departments is also included.

Items that have been digitized can be streamed on our Digital Collections website as well as YouTube and the Internet Archive.

The moving image database has been added to our Digitial Collections website. Search below or to search only moving image use the Advanced Search page with type "Moving Image" selected.
