hi story in re e l t ime How do you squeeze 100 years into two minutes? Boeing will do it monthly, celebrating its centennial with a series of 120-second video clips that spotlight some of the company’s most unique and treasured moments. Using photos, artifacts, video footage and more culled from the company collection, “Boeing Archives Presents” intends to tell short stories about the people and defining moments that have helped shape the culture and legacy, plus how those moments fit into Boeing’s shared history with the world, said Jenna McMullin, director of centennial planning for Boeing. The first video installment is called “Laying the Fabric: The Boeing Seamstresses” and shows the women who once sewed together canvas airplane wings and were some of the company’s original employees. The videos are not just productbased. They’ll also demonstrate what the company did to influence culture at the time, become involved with the community, and do business in general. The videos describe lessons learned and values formed. Boeing will unveil a new video each month leading up to the centennial, McMullin said. Boeing historians will select and help verify the subject matter, and the videos will appear on Boeing’s centennial website. To see more, visit boeing.com/100. Sbeeempt r 2015 37
