As discussed during this oral history, the Haller film today exists only as a digital third-generation copy. The 8mm film was initially transferred to VHS, and the VHS was later transferred to DVD. Sadly, the 8mm original film and the second-generation VHS copy are considered lost. The Museum first screened the Haller film during an anniversary program on November 22, 2015. That program may be viewed here: Moments & Memories: Reflecting on November 22, 1963 (youtube.com). Note: the Haller film is shown and discussed around the 22:30 mark. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
