Warner Sivyer Home Movies

This channel is devoted to the home movies of my maternal grandfather, Warner Sivyer (1892 - 1983).  From 1929 to 1975 he documented his growing family’s vacations, birthdays, holidays, and other celebrations in 16mm films.  They record American Midwestern family life spanning the middle of the 20th century.  I have almost 50 reels, most including Warner’s meticulous documentation, which I have transcribed and added as a table of contents at the beginning of each reel.  I had Kodak convert these to mp4 video files, which I have slightly edited using free OpenShot software, mainly just adding titles.                                       –Helen Cantrell, 2026.
