Thread 'PSSC films'

A number of teachers have been interested in collecting the black and white films that were part of the PSSC program in the 1960s. Many of these have been converted to mp4 now and are available at archive.org, youtube.com, and other places. I have collected 58 of them, and teachers are welcome to contact me if interested.
