Dear Screen-L:
FILM & HISTORY has produced the following CD-ROM resources
over the last five years:
*CD-ROM FOR 26 YEARS.
This word-searchable item has every word of the first 26 year of Film &
History
on a CD-ROM. If you plug in "New Deal," the adobe acrobat reader
calls up
every use of the term and clusters them in files beginning with
articles with
the most uses and working down to the least.
We have had a number of purchases, esp. from television producers, but
also from the target audience, university libraries.
*1999 CD-ROM ANNUAL
This CD-ROM is also word-searchable and has thirty-five brand-new
scholarly articles plus two entire books by John E. O'Connor, American
History/American Film plus American History/American Television.. We
also have on this item a video and a workshop with the historical
advisors
to AMISTAD.
*2000 CD-ROM ANNUAL
This CD-ROM is also word-searchable and has forty brand-new articles
plus the two O'Connor books. We also have a video plus a radio show
with
Gary Edgerton and Peter Rollins discussion their new collection from
the UP of Kentucky entitled TELEVISION HISTORIES: SHAPING POPULAR
MEMORY IN THE MEDIA AGE (2001).
The "annuals" will be a regular feature from Film & History; some libraries
have
created standing orders for them.
All details for the CD-ROMs are on the Film & History web site:

Good luck!

Comments: Individual subscription information on the web site
as well as information and FAQ's about the CD-ROMs. There are
also discussion items and essays on Saving Private Ryan, Amistad,
CNN's Cold War, and a host of other topics. The Table of Contents
for the last thirty years is there as well. The last two issues dealt with
Television as Historian (Vols. 30.1 and 30.2).
Next conference is in November, 2002, a year from this
Fall, on The American West(s) in Film, Television, and History
at the Kansas City Marriott, Country Club Plaza--just a few blocks
from the Nelson Art Gallery, a major institution and just next door
to the Kansas City Arts Institute. We are looking for energetic
people to serve as Area Chairs and will put a list of existing and
available Area Chair topics on the web site this summer.
