The Ellie Prado Collection includes black-and-white photographs, newspaper clippings, and home movies documenting the Prado Family. A collection of 16 items were scanned as collateral material to accompany an oral history interview with Ellie Prado and Blanche Riley conducted by the library in 2002. The photographs show damage from the 1938 hurricane, the Long Island Rail Road, and her children Ed, Bob, and Marshall Prado. Ellie Prado is included in a scan of the 1932 Montauk School commencement program. The Prado Home Movies (on VHS and DVD, duration 56:20) capture the family on film during the 1940s and 1950s, including weddings, duck hunting, a cattle drive, Montauk Fire Department fire drills, the blessing of the fleet, and children playing.Archive Details
