Acquiring the materials
The United Artists and Faye Emerson collections at the WCFTR represent two kinds of collections, with United Artists as a collection donated by an organization and Faye Emerson as a collection donated by an individual. Once acquired by the WCFTR, expert archivists processed the collections, re-housed and cared for the materials, preserved the papers and film prints. They also included digitized clips within conferences presentations and nudged researchers toward using them.
