The PRESERVATION EXAMPLES: SILENTS TO THE DAWN OF SOUND study guide provides a select list of UCLA's preservation work that is available for viewing through the Archive Research & Study Center. The varied collection of titles includes features and shorts from 1905 (e.g. Bronco Billy in Society) to 1930 (e.g. Sarah and Son). All of the titles listed (including Molly O', featuring Mabel Normand and Jack Mulhall, pictured right) are available for next-day viewing.

Note: This study guide is not comprehensive and only lists preserved titles for which ARSC holds an access copy.
