Media Matters for America

We're very excited to be joining the #fediverse, so here's our #introduction post:

We are the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research (WCFTR), an archive preserving materials from the entertainment industries. We are home to over three hundred collections from playwrights, television and movie writers, producers, actors, designers, directors, and production companies.

Housed in the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Library-Archives Division, the WCFTR is one of the world’s most accessible #archives and is regularly visited by researchers from around the world. Research undertaken in its collections has revolutionized the scholarship of American #cinema, #theater, and #television.

We provide in-person and remote access to our collections. Learn more here: https://wcftr.commarts.wisc.edu/index.php/access-materials/

We use social media to share news about new collections, upcoming events, interesting materials we've found, and projects that we're working on -- as well as learning about what you're working on!

Access to Materials

We provide in-person and remote access to our collections. In-person access to WCFTR collections is coordinated through the WHS Archives Reading Room and takes place on the fourth floor of the Wisconsin Historical Society building. WCFTR collections can be viewed by anyone working on a specific research project. You do not have to be affiliated…
