I thoroughly enjoyed the video and the said history. One thing I would have done differently is to leave the old photos up longer while you narrate. I'm retired now after 25 years as a television news and sports cameraman and still photographer for newspapers if you know what those were.. Whenever I put together a compilation of videos or stills for a story, I always tended to let the "good parts" breathe so it's a thing I think about when i have to pause the video to look at every aspect of an old photo like you added here. I want you to give us time to explore the images of a time we will never see again. That said, I still thoroughly enjoyed the video.
