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.
As space permits, we accept donations of film libraries and ephemera related to the educational
film industry. Your financial contributions are welcomed as well. To make a film or financial donation,
direct your inquiry to:
