With a new initiative to digitize vintage footage of old Aspen and a new streaming version of its popular Retro Film Series online, the Aspen Historical Society is taking viewers into a time machine this winter.
The eight-part weekly series runs through mid-March on Vimeo through March 9, buffeted by many newly digitzed and long unseen films.
In addition to the unearthed footage screening at the series, the archival team at the Historical Society is working to digitize much more for future viewing. The nonprofit recently earned grants from the Fred and Elli Iselin Foundation and the Colorado Historical Records Advisory Board.
Aspen Times staff report
A dog was recently taken and killed by a coyote in the Aspen area and Pitkin County’s animal safety officer is warning pet owners to be diligent when letting animals outside, especially at night.
An Aspen resident who lives near Mollie Gibson Park at the base of Smuggler Mountain reported that she let her Maltese dog outside in her fenced yard at about 8:30 p.m. on Jan. 23 and a coyote jumped the fence, grabbed it and ran off, Baker said.
“My suggestion to people is that if you let your dog out at night, please stay outside (with it),” Pitkin County’s ReRe Baker said Friday. “Even if (the yard) is fenced in, it won’t stop a mountain lion or coyote from taking it.”
