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.

I urge everyone to contact our U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse and Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper to voice your support for the passage of the CORE Act. Also, urge your out-of-state friends to contact their representatives and senators to do the same.
Now is the time for all of Colorado’s elected officials to join veterans, sportsmen, ranchers, community leaders, conservationists, business owners, county officials and voters from the central mountains to the Western Slope to the San Juans in protecting public lands for the future. For decades, local communities have been calling for protection of historic sites, recreation areas, unspoiled wilderness lands, waterways and wildlife habitat through individual pieces of legislation. The CORE Act bundles these requests into one comprehensive package that can be a down payment on our national commitment to protect 30% of our nation’s lands and water by 2030. It’s a ready-to-go solution that Congress should pass ASAP.
