When studios operated as movie factories -- an era that ended in the
mid-'fifties -- they maintained research departments, along with all
the other departments necessary to manufacture enough films to fill
the programs of the theaters they owned.
 
With the end of that era researchers went into independent business
of doing research on contract.  As I understand it, this is still
the situation.  There are substantial research services to answer
the kinds of questions that might arise in the production of a
film, e.g., what kinds of corsets were worn in 1885?
