Introducing the Yale Film Archive
The Yale Film Study Center has been renamed the Yale Film Archive. The new name is intended to better reflect the archive's critical support for teaching and research as well as its leadership in fostering a vibrant film culture at Yale through collection, preservation, and public access. It also highlights the group's work within the archival community developing and implementing standards for the care of film at Yale.
Film Archive staff will continue to provide all the same services and resources for students and faculty as under the old name.
Location
The Yale Film Archive's offices and self-service Viewing Facilities are located on the 7th floor of Sterling Memorial Library, 120 High Street in New Haven. Entry to the Film Archive requires a Yale ID, but special arrangements can be made in advance for visiting scholars.
Note that the Archive's video collection is kept in closed stacks. Media from that collection should be requested in advance from Quicksearch for delivery to a Yale Library location of your choosing.
