Among the many items that the Donora Historical Society has in its collection are 125 football and basketball games of Mon Valley teams from 1955 to 1979. They are original 16mm game films that are in the process of being converted to DVD. There is no sound. We launched a project in 2015 to start to transfer the films to DVD to not only get them in a usable format to be added to our artifact collection and our presentation offerings, but to get these games in the hands of the players that played in them some 40 to 75 years ago.

Six of the 125 game films that we have feature Mon Valley Catholic High School, have all been converted from 16mm to DVD and are available at an affordable price. All games cost $25/game plus S&H.

There is one Mon Valley Catholic football game that is converted and available on DVD:

09/18/65 - MVCH 0 vs. Donora 24

There are five Mon Valley Catholic basketball games that are converted and available on DVD:

02/14/78 – MVCH 64 vs. Frazier 65
01/30/79 – MVCH 48 vs. Beth Center 53
02/06/79 – MVCH 56 vs. Greensburg CC 50
02/09/79 – MVCH 33 vs. Albert Gallatin 37
02/13/79 – MVCH 58 vs. Frazier 46

If your game is not in our inventory, we do not know where it may be and we’re not aware of anyone else doing a project like this.

All proceeds benefit the Donora Historical Society in completing this project.
