Al and David Eicher, have for the past thirteen years produced 23 Michigan visual history documentaries. Their efforts in preserving town histories and events in Michigan have led to the creation of a lecture series. They have designed these lectures, including multimedia displays, for Colleges, Historical Societies, Libraries, Church Groups and Museums.  We've prepared a 2 minute "Lecture Tour" sample showing at various locations.   To view the Lecture Preview, click here or go to our "Downloads" page.   Our  presentations range from forty-five minutes to sixty minutes, with a question and answer session to follow.   Please book  6-8 weeks in advance to insure date and time.  For more information and service fee,  call Al or Dave Eicher at 248-333-2010 or email us at info@program-source.com .  To download our .pdf Lecture Brochure, click here .

Nine lectures are currently being offered about Michigan's history: "The Early Days of Radio in Michigan", "When Mark Twain Came to Michigan", "Traveling the Inside Passage to Alaska", "The Orphan Train in Michigan”, "Michigan's Lumbering Days and Camp Life”, “The History of Michigan's Largest Commercial Fishery”, "The Indian History of Southeastern Michigan...Ancient and Current Times", "Ballooning, Blimps and the Great Airships”.  The newest lecture is the "History of Music Boxes in Michigan".

Historic objects and documents are also on display.
