KNOXVILLE, Tenn. After a Knoxville woman posted a plea on Facebook asking how she could convert family films she found, a Knox County resource stepped in to help.
The Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound, or TAMIS, specializes in preserving history. In their vault inside of the East Tennessee History Center are thousands of reels, clips and footage from the past.
Bailey Hanson got a glimpse into a hidden part of her family s history on Friday. Her dad had a box of 8mm film and no one knew exactly what was on the four reels.
