Campus life, including a Vietnam War protest, at Western Washington State College during the 1960s.

Those are some of the 16 KVOS TV news segments now viewable online at YouTube.

The selections were chosen from more than 70 reel-to-reel films that the Bellingham TV station donated to 草榴社区's Center for Pacific Northwest Studies more than three decades ago. It's the first time that the center has made any of its audio-visual materials accessible online as part of the Western Libraries' digital collection.
