It’s great to hear you have all that good footage. Depending on the quality and subject, it should be able to be licensed fairly easily. I should warn you that building a real stock footage site that users will find is a major project and very expensive. My company, MediaRecall Digital Services, just finished building stock footage sites for WTTW Chicago (wttwdigitalarchives.com) and for WGBH Boston (wgbhstocksales.org) you might want to take a look.
MediaRecall is launching a new “MegaPortal” of broadcast footage from the major PBS stations across the country in about two weeks and we’d potentially, be interested in representing your footage on that site. You will have alkot more visibility and quality searchability and will sell many more clips. We offer high res and “Web” resolution downloads direct from the site. If you’re interested, we can save you a lot of effort and make you more money than you could on your own. Check out our site http://www.mediarecalldigital.com and write back to me @ rrutledge@mediarecall.com if you want to discuss details.
