>
> A number of members of the Society for Cinema Studies and the
> Association
> of Moving Image Archivists have recently come together to form a new,
> informal group of individuals interested in the intersection of
> concerns,
> perspectives, and endeavors shared by archivists and academics in the
> moving image field.
>
> Such an inter-organizational group would facilitate a continual
> process
> within both the academic and archival communities to press for mutual
> interests, seek one another's advice and support, and facilitate a
> wider
> avenue for interaction. For instance, sessions are planned for
> future
> AMIA and SCS conferences, allowing a greater voice for academics at
> AMIA,
> and for archivists in SCS. The full range of issues will be open to
> discussion on the list, and possible topics include preservation
> priorities and access, locations of collections, archival uses of the
> internet, the impact of archives upon canon formation, the role of
> the
> archive and its collections in the creation of academic programs, the
> growth of archival study programs in an academic environment, the
> participation of academics in archival projects (such as the recent
> Library of Congress Moving Image Genre-Form Guide), and publications
> (including print and image) undertaken by archives and academics that
> impact each other.
>
> To facilitate an open, ongoing dialogue, SCS webmaster Jim Castonguay
> and
> Screen-L's Jeremy Butler have set up an archives listserve. To
