Archivist's Alley

Season 2's opening episode talks with Lynne Kirste of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences about Home Movies, representation, classic Hollywood and the importance of preservation. We examine why inclusion and diversity is so critical and why discussing Hollywood's historical erasure of race, gender and labor can be uncomfortable but is necessary in order to achieve a better world. Exciting discussions abound regarding active and progressive work being done in the home movie archival space!!
