Stock/Historical Footage for Cheap

I have agreed to do a pro-bono job for a friend that is outside me normal
experience. It appears that I will need some background footage from the
60s and 70s... student demonstrations, political meetings, 68 Democratic
convention, etc. With little budget how would you proceed?

charge hundreds of $$$

 

Try www.archive.org. I know there is some 60's related material, but
I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for.

Library of Congress. They have extensive historical footage library. They only
charge for tape cost and dubbing fees. No licensing fees. They may be your
least expensive option.
