I served as editorial director on a new publication entitled FOOTAGE -
THE WORLDWIDE MOVING IMAGE SOURCEBOOK - now available from the publisher
Second Line Search - the book is thoroughly described on our website -
www.footagesources.com
Here's a bit of a description (feel free to shorten of course...):
An updated and expanded edition of Rick Prelinger's FOOTAGE 89/91 -
contains detailed descriptions of 3,000 moving image collections
worldwide (covers N.America, S.America, Africa, Asia, Australia &
Oceania,and Europe - UK alone is 118 sources)
- information on what's in the collections and all of the necessary
steps to research, screen and license any footage from these sources -
ranging from regional historical societies to the Library of Congress
and the national archives of most countries;
from Tele-Zaire to the Artists Television Network;
from the Johnson & Johnson corporate archives to the Johnson Space
Center;
from The Edison Laboratory Collection to the Exotic Dancers of
America Museum and Hall of Fame.
- Close to 800 archives of all sizes and types are listed as well as
libraries, museums, production companies, educational institutions,
television companies (broadcasters and cablecasters) and government
agencies.
The 10,000 subject & personal name headings in the Subject Index lead
to footage of all kinds.
The related services section lists restoration and preservation
consultants, visual researchers (close to 300 worldwide), digital
products and services and much more.
The almanac section contains 12 articles on topics including a
history of stock footage, producer Henry Hampton discussing the making
of "Eyes on the Prize" and a primer on copyright considerations when
licensing footage.
We've been very favorably reviewed in Booklist, Library Journal,

Librarian, BookWorld, The Independent, International Documentary,
Screen, Millimeter and 20 other publications.
