Willamette Falls History Series on DVD
Now available: "Friends, Fish and $1.09 an Hour"
This moving companion piece to our 2006 documentary movie on millwork during the 60-year run of Crown Zellerbach International, West Linn Division, finishes the stories begun by 17 career mill employees in "Grindstones, Boomsticks, Tattletales and Nips--the people and the stories of Crown Zellerbach..."
No Northwest mill family's library is complete without this poignant record of workers and their jobs at the end of the Industrial age.
Our first Falls History DVD
In Their Own Words - Oral Histories of pulp and papermaking in West Linn, Oregon
History of the Mills at Willamette Falls
Thanks to the Kinsman Foundation, we were able to produce a second oral history DVD on mill work at Crown Zellerbach, West Linn, from 1928-1986. "Friends, Fish, and $1.09 an Hour" contains 'the rest of the stories' of mill work, including fish stories, Christmas parties and reminiscences about the West Linn Inn. Both documentaries are in Oregon libraries and have aired on cable access television and the Oregon Public Broadcasting public affairs channel.
