Thanks for visiting Local History Videos! As an avid history fan I love to mention and link to gift ideas which I think history enthusiasts will love. Some of the product links on this site are affiliate links which means I may earn a commission if you click and buy. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases from affiliate links. It helps pay the running costs of this site.

The videos of vintage film and old photos you watch on screen are not affiliate links and I’m not paid to show them.

They stream directly from YouTube. That means the YouTube channel which uploaded the film gets an increase in their YouTube ‘views’, in turn making YouTube more likely to promote their vintage footage to a wider audience.
