    Kodachrome Test film from 1922. Some of the earliest colour film you will ever see.

    I love this one. It's a picture I can appreciate without being support of Israel, mind.

    I've always had a soft spot for Ernie O'Malley. A real character:

    Get to 30 replies and I'll sticky it. Try not to quote pictures for the sake of easy browsing. Same goes for large images, try to resize or link rather than throwing in a huge screen breaking image.

    I took down the m4v version of the film of Enda Kenny getting a tour of the GPO battlefield from James Connolly Heron, great-grandson of James Connolly, because friends in the US were telling me it was very buffery. I've now converted the files to .flv so they're faster, and they're here:

    The files are at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx0_UaTstCI (first part)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ET60MGMIoAg (second part)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyjtgECWlbs (final part)

    (Sorry I couldn't just edit the original posting and replace the files, but it seems there's a time limit on editing posts.)

    Tomas, I warned you before in genealogy to not post any more of your video poems as they are not relevant to the discussion. Mod.

    Thanks for those pictures, I hadn't seen them before.

    Just been reading up about them. - I remember the Solidarnosc events from the TV at the time, but had no idea the communist/police repression was quite that brutal. I suppose logically it would take those kinds of measures to keep a regime like that in power for so long.

    Looking back from an Irish perspective it's hard to understand how that regime lasted so long, it's hard to understand but I would imagine the state interference was similair to Stasi-esque, classic soviet/bolshevik levels - total control of all education & all media, citizens reporting other citizens & dissenters thrown in prison etc.

    However in terms of Polish and international resistance to it - this is stilll hard to understand. Were there no organised armed resistance to this regime ? Also the lack of meanginful international measures in the middle of europe is mindblowing when you think about it. I know most corrupt regimes keep a percentage of the population onside but sometimes it really feels like the cold war times in Poland and East Germany/East Europe were out of a different world.

    It was. Not every day like regular patrols of course but it was.
    a few examples:
    1970 protest link1, link2 (photos)
    Pacification of Wujek
    Martial law

    No. There was no chance. The Security Service had secret collaborators almost everywhere.
    Last armed resistance units were exterminated up to 1950( I'm not sure exactly but it had to be around 1950).

    Exactly, it was like you said.

    The first photo is very famous in Poland.
    "Moscow" cinema in Warsaw, you can see title "Czas Apokalipsy"(Apocalypse Now). Isn't it ironic?

    brilliant.

    Considering they were able to convert into colour, for example, the 1966 world cup final and a few clips of WW1 which can be found in earlier posts on this thread, it would be a great feat, if it was possible to covert into colour clips like those on Irish history that are here in this thread. Wishful thinking I suppose.

    Re Historical photographs - this link may be interesting to some :

    Two new archives on display in Limerick
    Tuesday, 12 October 2010 13:21

    Two important historical archives with photographs, diaries and documents detailing life in Limerick and the Mid-West from the early 20th Century, go on public display for the first time later today.

    The photographs of Franz Sebastian Haselbeck, including over five decades of work from pictures of Home Rule meetings and large farmers demonstrations to volunteer meetings leading up to the War of Independence, are included in an exhibition to be opened at the Hunt Museum.

    Mr Haselbeck's family were originally from Germany, but had settled in Limerick in the early 19th Century.

    The collection also includes pictures of the building of the Shannon Scheme where Mr Haselbeck not only recorded the construction of the country's first hydroelectric power station, but also worked as an interpreter for Siemens, who built the station.

    The collection has been restored by the ESB Archives and Patricia Haselbeck, the photographer's grand-daughter, who promised her grandfather on his death bed that she would preserve the collection and bring it to public prominence.

    Meanwhile, the diaries and photographs of Cecil Mercier, a former Mills Manger in Ranks for over 40 years, are being donated to the Limerick City Archives today.

    Limerick had a tradition of milling dating back to the 13th Century, and Ranks took over the Mills at Limerick Docks in the 1930s, employing thousands of generations of families.

    Limerick City Archivist Jacqui Hayes said it was an important historic addition to the City Archives because Ranks Mills had such an impact on the economic and social development of Limerick.
