New Library Acquisitions Include Harrison's Reports and Records for 800+ Scripts

Check out the list of new film studies books and dvds acquired at Temple Libraries in March.

Some highlights:

The Paley reference collection is now home to Harrison's Reports and Film Reviews. This 15 volume set reprints the film reviews and some editorials originally published by P.S. Harrison in Harrison's reports, 1919-1962, with some corrections. Harrison's reports was a weekly sent out to independent exhibitors. The reviews and editorials were directed toward independent theater owners to assist them with booking. Articles in Harrison's take positions on a variety of the concerns of cinema distributors and exhibitors ranging from topics such as censorship to the advent of 3D.

A large number of scripts now appear in the library catalog now that we've uploaded records for the scripts that are available in the full text online database American Film Scripts Online. There are currently 823 scripts in the database, ranging from 1903 to 2006.
