Welcome to a new, regular miniseries on The Picture Show. On the first of each month, Found in the Archives will feature archival films and found images selected by Rich Remsberg.
In my day job, I work as an archival image researcher on documentaries for PBS, National Geographic, the History Channel, museum exhibits and independent films. It's my responsibility to find the vintage film footage and still photos that make historical documentaries historical.
So, welcome to the first installment. To kick things off, here's a short film from the National Archives' record group for the U.S. Chemical and Biological Warfare Program titled, "Effects of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) on Troops Marching."
