Historical Equipment Collections: A Report of the SMPTE Archival Papers and Historical Committee

In this initial project a newly formed Archival Papers and Historical Committee has collected information on about 40 historical equipment collections with each committee member researching one or more collection. Since this report lists only a fraction of the motion picture and television equipment collections throughout the world, members are encouraged to submit information on other collections. It is hoped that this project will create a renewed interest in visiting and supporting historical collections and in preserving the many artifacts which form the foundations of our technology. Owners of individual pieces of historical equipment may find this listing helpful in finding a suitable depository so that future generations can evaluate present technology in terms of past inventions.
