• The 1948 update The Valley of Heart's Delight, including many vanished buildings in the downtown at the start of San Jose's massive postwar expansion;

• Dole Fruit Cocktail, a 1950s promotional documentary on the making of the then-new product "Fruit Cocktail", partly produced in San Jose; and

• Mayfair Packing Corporation, an otherwise unobtainable TV documentary on one of San Jose's most important fruit packing firms.<
