The National Audio-Visual Conservation Center maintains the NBC Collection in both the Recorded Sound and Moving Image sections, and provides access through the Research Centers in Washington, D.C. Please contact either Research Center below for research assistance, as collections are stored off-site and advance notice is needed to prepare items.

When submitting requests, please provide the title, call number, and date of the item. Names associated with the item, such as director/creator or performers, are also helpful. Call numbers will be a combination of capital letters and numbers, and will vary depending on the format of the item and the collection it is in (e.g. VBG 3214; FCA 4414-4416, LWO 5599 gr12 r2a1-3b, NCPB 5434, Decca 12-1401).
