Following WWII, the government of Albania centered itself on isolationist politics, which separated the country from not only political, but also cultural influences of others. This caused Albanian culture, including film, to follow a strict set of ideologies and aesthetics.

The Albanian National Film Archive (AQSHF) has digitized a curated selection of materials from the photographic and graphic art collections that includes costume and set design sketches, animation slides and production stills, allowing viewers to trace the journey of Albanian visual artists. Digitized as part of the Modern Endangered Archives Program.

The Arab Image Foundation (AIF) has selected a collection for digitization that represents a large range of photography methods-- from commercial studio use by professionals to personal use (e.g. family shots) by non-professionals. The materials represent a visual and social history of Lebanon and the Middle East that showcases the diversity and complexity of cultural practices captured via photography. Through the AIF's digitized work, users can access not just the practice of photography in Lebanon, but also a wider range of concepts representations of self-image, intimacy, domesticity, and the development of modernity in Lebanon. This collection contextualizes these ideas through visualizations of tension between private and public space within and outside of Lebanon, including countries such as Syria, Egypt, Iran, and Iraq. Lebanon’s current socioeconomic crisis has caused a rift in social unrest and has put cultural heritage, such as this collection, at risk of damage or loss of access. The AIF’s work to preserve these photographic materials is absolutely essential and will allow users to explore spaces throughout Lebanon and in a variety of other countries.

The KTLA Newsfilm Collection held at the UCLA Film & Television Archive represents a significant resource for researchers interested in Los Angeles news and local coverage of national events. KTLA has been a prominent independent television station in the Los Angeles area for more than 60 years, with the scope of the KTLA Newsfilm Collection at UCLA primarly encompassing the period of the late 1960s through the end of the 1970s. Despite the growing prominence of television news during this era, many local broadcasters did not fully recognize the long-term historical value of their newsfilm collections, and the industry discarded much local TV news footage, making the surviving KTLA newsfilm collection at UCLA a unique and vital moving image resource for research.<br/><br/>
This curated collection of 65 KTLA newfilm holdings documents a selection of people, places, and issues relevant to marginalized communities in Los Angeles between 1970 and 1980. Marked by the international trauma of the devastating war in Vietnam and the national political upheaval of Watergate, this period saw great strides in social movements for equality for marginalized communities and continued legacies of institutionalized oppression, discrimination, and prejudice. The news segments selected for the Diverse Communities of Los Angeles (1970-1980) KTLA Television Newsfilm project are intended to help illuminate the challenges facing marginalized communities and related public policies during this critical period in Los Angeles history.
