Former Director Jonathan Allen guides us through the extraordinary RLE 50th Anniversary Exhibit, mounted in 1996 as part of RLE's 50th Anniversary Celebration, with engaging explorations of then-current research areas, historical apparatus and photographs from RLE's distinguished history. 

The video tour is available in two forms:

• an enjoyable and informative overview of the highlights of the tour (approx. 14 minutes)
• the complete, in-depth tour (approx. 2 hours total, presented in approx. 5 minute segments)

The RLE videos are available in two formats:

• Realvideo for slow (dialup) connections, and
• Quicktime for high-speed connections. These formats require the proper plug-ins for your browser.

Download the most recent versions of these plug-ins for free:
