Moving Image Manuscripts and Access: A Content Analysis

Abstract

This study is a content analysis that investigates moving image access on the websites of moving image, academic, and local archives. This study was performed by analyzing the websites of twenty archives, and the findings of this study indicate moving image archives more frequently display and promote audiovisual materials than academic and local archives. This study shows that archivists should look outside of traditional archival access, description, and promotional methods when displaying audiovisuals. It also shows that archivists should not forget about basic principles of access, such as providing tutorials, manuals, guides, and explanations of restrictions on moving image materials
