Audiovisual, 1950-1993
Scope and Contents
Includes recorded sound and moving images in a variety of formats as well as some textual documentation regarding the recordings. Recorded sound is primarily on audiocassette, while moving images are on video cassette (including Ampex masters) and 16 mm film. Recordings consist of domestic and foreign (Japan and U.K.) commercials for John Weitz Designs products, products advertised by licensees, and public service announcements; interviews with journalists and news programming; and documentation of events such as fashion shows and lectures.
With the exception of the earliest recordings, most interviews, particularly those from the late 1980s onwards, focus on Weitz's books about Nazi Germany, Hitler's Diplomat (1992) and Hitler's Banker (1997).
