Tindall family film collection
Scope and Contents
The Tindall Family Film Collection consists of 16-millimeter footage shot by Dr. Herbert L. Tindall, UR1936, the father of Dr. Robert Tindall, UR1965. Included are scenes of the River Campus only a few years after it opened in 1930, up to 1940, the year Herbert's younger brother Harry graduated. The rest of the collection shows three generations of the Tindall family and their friends at home and on vacation. 16-millimeter film was introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1923, making Herb Tindall a first-generation 16-mm filmmaker. As of September 2011, he lives in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, near Robert and his wife Janice Clough Tindall, UR1966.
