## Description

The Media History Digital Library is a free online resource dedicated to preserving the rich history of film, broadcasting, and recorded sound. Led by Eric Hoyt and the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research, this extensive collection features millions of pages of books and magazines for enthusiasts and scholars alike. From early cinema and Hollywood studio system publications to technical journals and global cinema, the MHDL offers a treasure trove of information for research and exploration. The search platform, Lantern, allows users to dive into over 2.8 million digitized pages to uncover hidden gems. Additionally, the MHDL commemorates the legacy of scholars like David Bordwell by making his doctoral dissertation available online. Join us in celebrating a decade of digital preservation by supporting the MHDL and continuing to unlock the past for future generations.
