Media History Digital Library
IAMHIST members may well be interested in a new resource. The Media Digital Library has been launched, providing access to significant runs of trade papers and magazines, including Moving Picture World, Film Daily, Photoplay, and Radio Broadcast among others. There are collections relating to early cinema, the Hollywood Studio System, radio and non-Theatrical films, as well as a range of technical trades and magazines. There are currently over 200,000 of digitized pages, and the archive is growing daily. Researchers can follow their blog and contribute to the forum. You can find the resource at: http://mediahistoryproject.org/. Eric Hoyt is the digitization coordinator, and welcomes feedback on the site (email: erichoyt@usc.edu). If you know of any other sources of this kind, please do let us know and we will feature them on our website.
