Donate your Home Movies

If you have a box of old 8mm or 16mm home movies that includes scenes of Florida, the Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives in Miami accepts these invaluable vintage Florida images as a donation, and depending on the condition of the films, will transfer them to video and provide you a copy on DVD.

Wolfson Archive regularly receives donations of home movies, amateur films and related equipment and materials from all over South Florida and the Nation.  These materials provide a comprehensive visual record and history of our community, and a look at Miami through home movies and amateur film from the 1950s.

Our collection of home movies and amateur footage encompasses not only South Florida but our entire state and beyond.  Though all these films are silent, they speak volumes and document our region. Each of the individual reels is a piece of the mosaic that form to the story of our history and culture from a very personal perspective.  The Lynn and Louis Wolfson II  Florida Moving Image Archives contains one of the largest home movie and amateur film collections in the country, with the oldest images dating from 1910.

To donate home movies and amateur footage, please contact us.
