As early as 1931, Colchester has been recorded on film. This section is devoted to sharing clips from our past. Over time, more clips will be added as they become available. Please remember to hit the "alt + enter" keys for full screen 4/28/2007 The following clips are digital transfers from a 35 MM film donated to Cragin Memorial Library. Because of a lack of public funding, Colchestertalks.com paid for the digital transfers. At present, Colchestertalks.com is developing a DVD for public circulation at Cragin Memorial Library.
