Academic Film Archive of North America

 

The mission of The Academic Film Archive of North America is to acquire, preserve, document, and promote academic film by providing an archive, resource, and forum for continuing scholarly advancement and public exhibition.  We also  document and archive historically important films not specifically in the academic genre, including anthropological, ethnographic, and medical subjects. We also engage in special research projects, and are the only institution in the U.S. dedicated to documenting the history of this endangered film genre.  We invite you to help us to save films and provide free access to them on the Internet Archive, by nominating a film and making a donation to fund uploading it. 

AFA director Geoff Alexander's new book "Academic Films for the Classroom: A History" is now available.
