Black Film Center/Archive
The Black Film Center/Archive, founded in 1981, was the first repository for the collection and preservation of films and related materials (posters, photographs, interviews, etc) by and about African Americans. Since that time, its collections have grown and its scope has broadened to include films and related materials from the other geographical sites in the African Diaspora.
