Preserving the Past: Warner Bros. Corporate Archive

The Extras

Ever wondered what's the difference between the Warner Archive and Warner Bros Corporate Archive? We sit down with Warner Bros. archivist Jeff Briggs, and George Feltenstein from the Warner Archive, to discuss the differences and the part each one plays in preserving Warner Bros. film and TV history.
The story originates from how an exhibit at Paris' Pompidou Center led to the birth of the Warner Bros. Corporate Archive and the pivotal role played by Leith Adams. Jeff relates how he was brought onto the team and some of his highlights in working with archival props, costumes, and archival photos. Along the way, we discuss the role of the Academy's new museum, the Jack Warner collection, and the partnership with the USC Film Archive. We also review the evolution of the studio's historic mailroom tour, initiated in the 1940s, and how it has developed into the current studio tour. And George relates some of the recent requests he has received from the press during the 100th Anniversary Celebration.
