The Library of Congress Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation

[Steve]

As a longtime reader of this group who only post seldomly, here's
another new source of first-hand resources particularly relevant to
motion picture technology: The Library of Congress Packard Campus for
Audio Visual Conservation. It goes back as far as The Edison
Phonograph Monthly, The Nickelodeon (Feb-Sep 1909), Motion Picture
(Feb-Jul 1935 and earlier), The Radio Annual and Television Year Book,
and others. I've barely had a chance to read any of them as I just
discovered the link this morning.

Another very useful online collection is the Media History Digital Library:

with trade papers such as the SMPE and SMPTE Journals (1930-1954) as
well as fan magazines (including a long run of Photoplay 1914-1940).
