Tough Friends is a 1930s promotional film that answers the question, "how is steel made from iron ore?" with many good shots of steel mills of the era. Jam Handy Productions made this film for the Chevrolet Motor Company in 1938 in order to explain how Chevy’s were safer and more durable because of the new, stronger steel materials from which they were constructed. Shot like a stirring documentary, the film illuminates the history of the steel industry in America, as well as the history of steel. Steel mill workers are seen mixing alloys to create better hard steel. Tough Friends is a vintage Chevy ad that's also a wonderful historical document.

The historical documentary series continues with this fascinating investigation into the origins of the world-famous crystal skulls. Since the 19th century, a number of lifelike quartz skulls have been discovered and displayed in museums. These relics, allegedly dating from Aztec and Mayan civilisations, are believed to have psychic powers. Now, for the first time ever, scientists are given access to the most famous skull of all, the so-called ‘Skull of Doom’. The crystal skulls are one of the most beguiling mysteries of 20th-century archaeology. Countless legends have swirled around these incredibly detailed quartz sculptures and they have formed the basis for numerous stories – including the latest ‘Indiana Jones’ movie. The skulls have been attributed with mysterious powers and it has even been claimed they are artefacts from Atlantis or an extra-terrestrial civilisation. But is there any truth to these tales?

There are many moments in baseball that can be considered "firsts". It can be a player's first at bat, home run, save, no-hitter .. or for a fan it can be attending a major league game for the first time.

Recently there have been a slew of new ballparks opening so there have been historic first games played on the new fields. This baseballism is about a "First" at an old ballpark, Wrigely Field home of the Chicago Cubs since 1916, which all Cubs fans will remember had it's very first game under the lights on the memorable date of August 8, 1988 or 8/8/88.

All the more relevant today in the wake of the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, Mississippi River Flood of 1927 is a precious historical document of the carnage, poverty, and people whose lives were swept away by dreadful flooding. The most destructive flood in US history, the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 had far reaching political and social ramifications, like the moving of many poor African American’s out of the South and into northern cities. What are documented on this invaluable footage are not only the devastated landscapes, but the devastated people who lost everything. Glad handing politicians come by to survey the wreckage, such as Herbert Hoover, but the stars of the film are the unfortunate impoverished.
