The IHTIA produced the movie, Uncovering the Covered Bridge in partnership with WSWP-TV. The box includes script drafts, cost lists, correspondence, photographs, an audiotape, handwritten notes, lists, clippings, and drawings. Subjects include covered bridges, movie production, the truss design, bridges of Virginia and West Virginia (especially the Philippi Covered Bridge) and the American Civil War’s effect on bridges. The following oversize items were moved to Box 342: four sheets of newspaper (1947-1949 and 1993), three facsimile photographs (undated), and seven pamphlets (1988-1991).
