Travel back in time and around the world with The Travel Film Archive. The Travel Film Archive is a collection of travelogues and educational and industrial films that show the world the way it was between 1900 and 1970. Among our holdings are archives of the renowned travel filmmakers Burton Holmes, Andre de la Varre, and James A. FitzPatrick, as well as footage shot by many other intinerant cameramen.
Footage from The Travel Film Archive is available for licensing from Getty Images and the TFA Network of agents, either directly or through this site. At this time we do not provide footage for personal use.
The Virtual Field Trip is a field trip that students and teachers take via the Internet. A great benefit of this activity is that it utilizes technology tools to help students visualize and understand subject matter through exploration and active learning. It's also a great way to "travel" without leaving your classroom! Look for sites with QuickTime VR, which allows you to view panoramic views of your virtual field trip location.
