UCLA Film & Television Archive - About Us

Support The Archive

Over the last century, moving images have played a key role in shaping society. As the world's largest university-based collection of film and broadcast television, the Archive takes the responsibility to safeguard this moving image heritage very seriously. Our stellar film preservation work, our dynamic public screenings of classic and contemporary films, the active role we have played in making archival collections available to students and scholars, and our recent launch of an innovative degree program in moving image archive studies--all have helped to earn the Archive an international reputation for excellence.

But excellence is expensive. The Archive needs your help to maintain essential programs and services, especially in this era of dwindling state and federal resources. With many deteriorating treasures in danger of being lost forever, we cannot afford to wait.

We welcome your donations large and small. One special way of becoming involved at the Archive is to become a member of The Archive Council. This annual giving group takes a leadership position in supporting the Archive's commitment to:

Building a broadly representative collection of motion pictures and broadcast programming.
Rescuing our endangered moving image heritage through film and television preservation and restoration.
Advancing public understanding and appreciation of moving image media through screenings in Los Angeles and around the world.
Supporting scholarly research, media production and publication.

The Archive Council enables us to continue crucial projects for which we have no other source of funding. This group's generosity makes a tremendous difference in our ability to educate, entertain and inspire.

Annual membership in the Archive Council is at the following levels:

Preservation Circle
$20,000 or more

Director's Circle
$10,000 or more

Benefactor
$5,000

Sponsor
$2,500

Patron
$1,000

Beyond the annual giving represented by the Archive Council, the Archive also needs funds to meet its long-term goals:

A state-of-the-art film preservation center, with storage vaults for maintaining nitrate film;
A preservation endowment dedicated to saving the Archive's most endangered holdings in film and video;
A multi-use exhibition facility for film and video screenings;
An exhibition endowment dedicated to supporting film and video programming;
An endowment to support ventures in new media and electronic publishing;
An endowment to support an innovative graduate degree program in moving image archive studies.

Your support of the UCLA Film and Television Archive is urgently needed to help achieve our goals. You may make your tax-deductible check payable to the UCLA Foundation. For more information, please contact:
