Applications are now being accepted for the UCLA Film & Television Archive's Visiting Researcher Stipend for 2012.
UCLA Film & Television Archive collection consists of over 250,000 films and television programs and more than 27 million feet of Hearst newsreel footage. A large percentage of these holdings are available to be viewed for specific research purposes by appointment in UCLA’s campus media lab. As a strictly moving image archive, we do not collect books, periodicals, production files, scripts, photographs, or information about material in our collection.
As most of the Archive’s holdings are stored in numerous off-site locations, all research visits and viewing requests must be coordinated in advance with ARSC. While some holdings can be made available for appointment viewing with short lead time, a significant portion of the collection may require up to two weeks or longer to be made accessible for viewing.
- We welcome all research and reference queries related to our collections, and are happy to assist with your visit requests.
- As the first step in arranging a visit, we ask all patrons to Search Collections to locate titles of interest.
- From researching the Archive Catalog, we ask that you please compile your viewing request list and email it to us, noting item inventory numbers and titles as listed in the Archive Catalog.
- Upon receipt of your requests from the Archive Catalog, ARSC staff will advise as to the availability of specific titles, make recommendations for additional materials of interest, and assist in selecting appropriate visit dates for your appointments.
As we advise all visiting scholars and researchers, please look over our Research FAQ carefully before planning any travel to conduct research at the Archive.
