Jones 16mm film, Reel 1 (Part 2 of 2)

16mm news film shot by photographers for the Dallas-Fort Worth affiliate WBAP-TV, along with some footage shot by NBC News photographers. Reel 1 (Part 2 of 2). The films, almost all of which are first generation prints, not original footage, show many aspects of the Kennedy assassination weekend from Fort Worth to Dallas and later events. Only a few minutes of the footage are known to have been seen publicly; some was included in the 1991 film, "JFK" and some appeared in the 1993 PBS/Frontline program "Who Was Lee Harvey Oswald?" Collected by donor's father, G. William Jones. 2006.041.0006 is stored on two separate reels (both R1), 2006.041.0006.0001 - .0002.
