Sen. Edward M. Kennedy speaks to the Alaska Democratic Party Convention in Sitka on April 7, 1968, shortly after the assination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Senator Kennedy was standing in for his brother, Robert, who’d been scheduled to speak. Courtesy the Alaska State Library Historical Collections. The original material is a 1 open reel video tape in an unusual format, labeled only Ted
Kennedy Sitka. The tape was transferred to an accessible tape format by a contractor
specializing in media conservation. When we watched the video for the first time, we
were quite surprised, says Damon Stuebner, Media Specialist for the Alaska State
Digital Archives program. For being a 40-year-old video tape, it is in near perfect
condition.
