Researchers at the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum in West Branch report discovery of what may be the earliest Kodacolor color films of the White House grounds and President Herbert Hoover. Archivist Lynn Smith says the footage, once thought black and white, shows vivid colors including Lou Hoover’s dress and the Rose Garden. Restoration followed a grant request, with the reel returned in December.
