Thank you for your interest in Warner Bros. Archives (WBA) at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. WBA houses rare paper documents (1918-1967) from its motion picture studio in Burbank, corporate headquarters in New York, and exhibition records from the Stanley-Warner theatre chain. (We do not house any moving image materials from any studio, MGM paper documents, or any WB documents created later than 1968.)
For over 30 years, this important resource has been made available to the USC community, as well as local and international scholars thanks to the generosity of Warner Bros. Entertainment.
Through collaboration with the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, for the first time, an online system to place requests and provide electronic access to a constantly growing number of digitized files has been developed. You are among the first users to help test this system. Please take the opportunity to leave feedback at the end of the form.
To facilitate your request for research materials, we need to know about you and your project. Your answers will be kept in the strictest confidence and be viewed only by archival staff. Each request will receive a response within two business days. If you are working on two or more distinct projects, consider submitting multiple requests.
