Shot by an unknown amateur American filmmaker, this 1960s home movie shows travel to the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia with some famous natural sights along the way such as the Banff National Park. The highlight and end of the journey are Lake Louise and the Victoria Glacier. The footage mostly shows natural sights, although people and animals are occasionally shown too.

Motion picture films don’t last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we’ve worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies — including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you’d like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we’d love to hear from you.
