Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection is comprised of photographs that were used in Quigley Publications, active under various titles since 1915 in motion picture industry trade publishing (Motion Picture Herald, Motion Picture Daily, and others). It is primarily an assemblage of publicity photographs that feature individuals associated with the motion picture industry: producers, directors, animators, and their colleagues. Actors and actresses figure less prominently, but are also represented among the approximately 55,000 black-and-white photographs and 3,500 negatives ranging in date from about 1906 to 1972. The collection also includes a smaller number of photographs devoted to motion picture studios, theaters, and equipment.
