Alaska Film Archives - UAF
The University of Alaska Fairbanks has built one of the largest collections of historical films made in and about Alaska, thanks to hundreds of film and video donations from individuals and organizations. Since 1993 these materials have been held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives in the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library.
Your financial support is much appreciated and will help us continue important preservation work. Please choose “Rasmuson Library Archival Films Support” in the designation drop-down menu at: https://engage.alaska.edu/uaf/rasmuson-library
