| I don't have the titles, but you might try to find them through Rick
| Prelinger's "Ephemeral Films" collections.  For information, go to:

Rick Prelinger is a really cool guy; I had posted positive comments about
his CD-ROM series "Our Secret Century" on alt.video.laserdisc and he made a
point of emailing his thanks directly.
 
You can reach him via email at [log in to unmask] for more information.
 
Good luck!
