Inside the Walt Disney Archives – Celebrating 40 years with chief archivist Dave Smith
"I thought the Archives existed for the fans but that is not the case. The Archives exists to serve the Walt Disney Company. I thought it was a sort of museum, keeping all sorts of large items from Disney’s history. While this is true of some of the pieces in the Archive, they don’t typically keep large items. I also thought the Walt Disney Archives kept records of all the animated films as well as the designs for the parks and all of the 35mm film prints. But Walt Disney Feature Animation, Walt Disney Imagineering, and Walt Disney Pictures each have their own archives in some form."
