Filmed 1948, narration revised · spuder · 2013-12-21
This film, dated 1948 has a later narration that refers to Alaska as a new state. Statehood was approved in July 1958 but did not become official until January 1959. So assuming the reason for revision of this film was Alaska statehood I would assume the narration is from late 1958 or 1959.
