How to Make Movies,

William O'Farrell Collection

The moving images in the collections at Northeast Historic Film are a valuable educational tool, and NHF is committed to making them accessible to students, teachers, researchers, and the public.  They are complemented by numerous paper documents, which may be accessed in the Study Center.

The Study Center at Northeast Historic Film houses well over 3,000 reference videos transferred from archival items in the moving image collections, over 2,000 books, pamphlets, and manuals, and over 6,000 moving image periodicals. All of these materials may be reviewed on-site at no charge.

Appointments to use the Study Center must be made in advance. Call 207-469-0924 or email to schedule a time.
