Eric Hoffer Audio? Video?

August 1, 2010 4:41 PM

I have always been a fan of Eric Hoffer. I just read a new post about him on a blog I read and it rekindled my interest in finding audio or video of Hoffer. I've never heard a single comment or interview. He was the subject of some big CBS interviews in the 60's but I've never found those anywhere either. Anyone here know of any audio and/or video? As always, thanks in advance!

Best answer: You could search Vanderbilt University's tv archive. Anyone can get DVD copies of newscasts for around $30 a story. You could also look at Footage.net which is a database for news and archival footage. And, WorldCat.org will tell you if he made any recordings and what libraries hold them.

Response by poster: The best (and only) answer. I appreciate your helping. I had heard of the Vanderbilt archive but had never visited the website, it will come in handy for all kinds of research purposes whether videos are ever ordered or not. Thanks again!
