1960's party pictures help

Hi, I am looking to put together a 60's themed disc containing pictures and hopefully some newsreels from the 60's to play at a themed party. Can anybody point me in the right direction of where i can get such footage?

Thanks.

  • Dunno where you would get that from but have you looked at scene setters?

    If you search for 'Ace Cafe', there's a few pics of bikers in the 60's, and then search again for Vespa and Lambretta and you should be able to find pics of the mods .................then start and all out war! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Also google for 'Mary Quant' and you get loads of images of the 60's as well as patterns that might be useful, and another one that might be useful could be 'Twiggy'.

    HTH :confused:

    I've just searched Mary Quant on youtube and found this one - the mini skirt was a popular thing so maybe search for that, and then anything else 60's on youtube ;)

    Try bbc.co.uk - there may be some news reels on there that you can use.

    Otherwise you tube would probably have some and also original videos to 60's music. xxx

    You could also try putting 1960 minto the serach box on yahoo and click on the images tab instead of the web tab - it brings up lots of different pictures that you might be able to use. There is also a videos ab that may have some 1960's footage. xxx
