About this footage
Women in dark uniforms, caps and white-collared shirts march across this collection again and again. They drill in columns on a paved lot outside long institutional buildings, stand at attention in a line, and later smile and wave on a quiet street. Men in navy-style coats with gold braid walk among them, and an officer in dress uniform watches a ceremony beside two men in suits.
A woman in a white uniform and white gloves touches roses in a garden, and another walks toward a brick gate with ironwork.
The family reels are a mix of color and black and white. Children ride a seesaw and swings in a snowy park, a man pushes a child on a sled, and a girl climbs the ladder of a playground slide. In warmer months there's a couple with a small dog on the grass, teenagers playing handball, and a woman with red flowers in her hair running from the surf. These clips suit stories about women in uniform and family life in 1940s New York.
