Chicago Aikikai recently received back some old 16 mm films of aikido demonstrations dating back to the 1960s. These belonged to the Illinois Aikido Club (as Chicago Aikikai was originally known). The dojo is hoping to preserve the original reels and also digitize them for archiving and viewing. Click on the link below for more information and to view a few reels we have managed to digitize so far. If you have any information, please e-mail info@chicagoaikikai.org.
