Greg Kinney has had, perhaps, the most detailed look at Michigan football history, studying and editing while preserving 55 years of game film for the university’s Bentley Historical Library.
Kinney, the library’s athletics archivist, and his team worked tirelessly the last two years to prepare hours of coach’s 16 mm film, some of which was extremely fragile, cleaning and splicing it, then having them digitized by Scene Savers in Covington, Ky.. After inspecting the digitized versions, they added the finishing touches with roster and play-by-play notes.
There are 420 games, beginning with Michigan-Ohio State in 1930 through the Michigan-Minnesota game in 1986, now available for free online viewing.
