Memory Collection 09 -
Sounds from Christmas Past / Winter Holidays
Samples from 15 Public
Domain TV shows and 29 ads (including 14 toy ads) from
the 50's and 60's. Most of TV shows are Christmas or
New Year's Eve specials but two were regular episodes.
Though the source TV
shows are mostly related to Christmas or New Year's
Eve, many of the samples can be used in other contexts
too as diverse sounds are included.

Some
samples may reflect stereotypes and prejudice of
their times and original creators. They may
express racial prejudice, sexism, social
stereotypes, ignorance and/or poor knowledge of
other cultures (for instance accents that are
deemed insulting today).
The views and opinions expressed in these are
those of their original creators and do not
necessarily reflect my opinions.
I verify that the source videos are in the Public
Domain by searching the web, there are lists of PD
movies and websites dedicated to them. Before I
decide to use a video, I find at least 2 sources
that say it is Public Domain. Of course I try to
avoid errors but I am not giving any legal
guarantees about the PD status of any source video
either.
Also, here in North America, there are
bargain-price DVD labels that offer PD movies.
Many of the movies I have used come from my
personal collection of such DVDs.
