The Academic Film Archive of North America is a
501(c)(3) public
benefit organization, incorporated in
the State of California on March 5, 2001 for the purpose of acquiring,
preserving, documenting and promoting academic film by providing an
archive, resource, and forum for continuing scholarly advancement and public
exhibition. No one (including Director Geoff Alexander) receives
a salary, we spend no money on fundraising activities, and all of your donations
contribute to activities relating to our mission. Our bylaws are
available for your review.
We invite you to make a tax-deductible financial donation or you may
also donate by sponsoring a film for
digitization and uploading so everyone can view it free. Either way, we will
send you a tax confirmation letter within one week of receiving your
donation.
We now have archived more than 10,000 films, and due to space
limitations we cannot take in more for the time being. If you'd like to donate films,
we might be able to find another home for them. Please
contact us.Listed below are the people and institutions who
have helped us through their generous donations this year (click
