The Film Library has more than 20 million feet of classic 35mm B&W film with content dating mostly from 1895 to 1957, including the historic Paramount Newsreels. It also includes the entire American Pathé newsreel library, which is America’s oldest collection (1895-1956), the Industry on Parade series, Allied Artist Scenic stock footage, and over 3,500 mid-century television and movie theater commercials.
Collects thousands of comics—many extremely rare and hard to find. Volume I covers major works from north America and Europe, beginning with the first underground comix from the 1950s and continuing through to modern sequential artists. The second volume expands on the debut database by offering an additional 100,000 pages of important, rare, and hard-to-find works, scholarly writings, and more. It adds extensive coverage of the pre-Comics Code era of horror, crime, romance, and war comics that fueled the backlash leading to the advent of the Comics Code.
