Site Development

Our hope is that this archive will become an ever more comprehensive resource for as wide an audience as possible.  Our goal is to make the archive as accessible, accurate, and intelligible as possible, and to enhance the site's user-friendly qualities and components.

 

To that end, we welcome your input and collaboration.  Indeed, please let us know if you encounter problems with the site, see information that needs to be corrected, etc.   Even more, we welcome input about authors, titles of texts, titles of films, etc., for inclusion in the site’s lists.  Our work in updating the archive since its launching has been aided immeasurabely by communications with colleagues inside and outside the U.S., and we hope to have the benefit of more input in the future.
