How To Access Materials From Indiana University Libraries Moving Image Archive

Visit Media Collections Online

Watch and listen to our collections using Media Collections Online (MCO).

Use the search bar on the top right to find specific titles. Or browse through titles using the filters on the left-hand side of the screen. Filtering by “Sound Recording” will display all accessible audio recordings. Filtering by “Moving Image” will display all accessible film/video records. Use additional filters like “Unit,” “Collection,” or “Physical Format” to help focus inquiry results. As additional cataloging, copyright research, and editing is done on digitized files, more materials will be accessible on MCO. 

Research in IU Databases

There are over 34,000 catalog records of IULMIA held titles in IUCAT, Indiana University Libraries’ online catalog. Most of the films in the IU Audio-Visual Center collection and the David Bradley collection are searchable in IUCAT.

There are over 600 cubic feet of paper records from various IULMIA collections for which there are Finding Aids. Finding Aids can be searched on Archives Online, Indiana University portal for accessing descriptions of archival and special collections.  As paper based collections are digitized, they will be accessible via Digital Collections.

After doing after doing an initial search, it is recommended that you contact IULMIA (iulmia@iu.edu) with your research topic(s) and we'll see if we can identify additional materials!
