About

Retrofootage.com founded by stock footage pioneer Rick Ray, represents perhaps the largest collection of archival footage available for licensing in the world. Content has been aggregated by delving deep into the National Archives, private historical film collections, educational films and old wacky drive-in cult cinema. RetroFootage.com strives to improve the elements we find, through transfers from 16 and 35mm film, to enhancements like noise reduction, colorization, and grading.
