Download materials from the original MACOS here. Includes booklets, instructional guides for teachers, and more.

This archive contains the entire collection of pamphlets and booklets for children, as well as teacher’s instructional guides. The course was brought online by Dr. Wendy Saul, professor of education at UMSL, in collaboration with Peter Dow of Firsthand Learning. Permission to use the materials non-commercially is granted by Education Development Center, and the films accompanying the written materials are available from Documentary Educational Resources.

I first saw these films in the fifth grade, late sixties early seventies. Our entire class was rounded up and sent into the tiny auditorium to view these. I have never stopped being impressed with them, and have described them for decades to friends who have never even heard of them. It is very sad that they are so damned greedily expensive, it is a documentary that has been paid for many times over and should be public domain by now.

Fantastic site!
