In addition to actual film reels, the Moving Image Research Center holds a number of paper and manuscript items related to silent film. These materials include continuities, scripts, tie-in-books, scrapbooks, press releases, newsreel summaries, publicity notebooks, press books, lobby cards, theater programs, production notes, and much more.
By far the largest collection of materials is the Inventory to Archival Boxes collection.
