Wisconsin Center for Film & Theater Research
The Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research (WCFTR) is a partnership between the University of Wisconsin's Department of Communication Arts and the Wisconsin Historical Society. Its collections comprise one of the world's major archives of research materials relating to the entertainment industry.
WCFTR owns more than 300 manuscript collections, 15,000 motion pictures
and television shows, 2,000,000 still photographs, and several thousand
sound recordings. Although it is administered by the University, WCFTR's
film, photo, and manuscript collections are cared for and consulted in
the Wisconsin Historical Society's Library-Archives Division. In
addition to housing the Center's collections, the Society holds
extensive complementary documentation in its own mass communications
collections.
