Videos
The videos on this page present presentations on how paleontology was viewed and studied in the early 21st century and before. It is interesting to see the progression as technology begins to take over, especially with digital photography. No longer in use are slide projectors, and even before that, viewgraphs. ZOOM was unheard of until recently.
Many of our early presenters are no longer with us, and we honor their memories. Many more are very active in paleontology and are currently maintaining WIPS as one of the most outstanding avocational paleontological societies in the country.
Enjoy these wonderful videos and learn about discoveries you didn’t know before. If you are doing research, you just might find an answer to your questions.
