RESULTS: preserving the films of the American south



Hey folks-
Here are the compiled results of my inquiry which was posted to both the
ARCHIVES and AMIA lists. These are just leads, y'all can do the research if
you're interested (or you can buy my paper for $50 per copy ;) ). Thanks
again to everyone who replied. And yes, for those who have been wondering,
Gone With the Wind does include some subject matter related to the southern
United States region. Everybody go have a good weekend now, y'hear.

THE RESULTS:

University of South Carolina

Southern Media Archive
  at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss)

Southern Americana Film and Video at Lilly Library
  at Duke University

Southern Historical Collection
  at University of North Carolina -Chapel Hill.

Television News Archive, Vanderbilt University
  Ours is a collection of national network news programs and
  thus while it includes much material from the Southern US,
  it includes this only as it occurs in the national news.

University of Kentucky

The Human Studies Film Archives
  at the Smithsonian

Louis Wolsfon II Media History Center
  at the Miami Dade Public Library
  The Wolfson Media Center, located in Miami is one of the largest
  regional film and video archives of its kind in the country.  Our
  collection contains millions of feet of film and thousands of hours
  of videotape, spanning over 8 decades with the earliest home movies
  dating to around 1910.

Library of Congress

National Archives
  ex: Tennessee Valley Authority, the Department of Health, Education
  and Welfare, possible military record groups focusing on
  installations or activities in the South, or Army Corps of
  Engineers projects, Universal Newsreel Collection, etc.

Museum of Modern Art

UCLA

Center for Southern Folklore, Memphis, TN

Memphis Room, Memphis (TN) Public Library

Virginia Museum of Transportation, Inc.
  We have a collection of industrial films (35 & 16 mm) from the
  Norfolk & Western and Southern Railroads dating 1940-1980c.  We
  are just now starting to process the collection, so have not
  promoted them--but we will in the future!
