One can find a great deal of footage of Vandals in action on this site, but never fear: the Vandals in question are just the mighty members of the University of Idaho's athletic teams. The digitized materials here include over 160 16mm films held by the school's Special Collections & Archives. Visitors can browse the films by date, location or team. One standout is the 1925 film of the town of Moscow, Idaho, along with footage of the football contest between the Vandals at the University of Southern California Trojans. The materials span the years 1925 to 1997 and they include football and basketball games. None of the films contain audio, but they remain fascinating documents. The map feature is rather fun, as it gives users the ability to look around the entire country for athletic events of particular regional interest. Of course, the timeline shouldn't be missed either, and the clip from the football game between the Vandals and the University of Washington Huskies is worth a viewing.
