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.
The renaming coincides with the Film Archive's move from the Whitney Humanities Center to newly-renovated space in Sterling Library.
