AMIPA Collections
The list below represents approximately 20% of the collections in AMIPA's vaults. Note that collections--both on this list, and off--vary widely in size. Some consist of a few reels of motion picture film, some consist of thousands of videocassettes. AMIPA's long-term goal is to make standards-compliant collection-level catalogue records available online--in the meantime, the list on this page will be added to and developed as these cataloging efforts progress.

If you have any questions about these collections, or other collections that you believe might be in AMIPA's vaults, please contact AMIPA Archivist Kevin Tripp at 907-786-4980, or via e-mail at: Kevin "at" amipa.org.
