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!
