The National Audio-Visual Conservation Center maintains the Tony Schwartz Collection in both the Recorded Sound and Moving Image sections, and provides access through the Research Centers in Washington, D.C. The Recorded Sound Research Center provides access to textual and graphic materials such as papers, photographs, and artwork, as well as recorded sound material. The Moving Image Research provides access to film and video recordings in the Collection. Please contact either Research Center below for research assistance, as collections are stored off-site and advance notice is needed to prepare items.
In the Research Centers
Another database, MAVIS, contains both moving image and recorded sound material from the Tony Schwartz Collection. MAVIS contains catalog records for even more of our film, television, and recorded sound collections, and is only available on-site because it doesn't have a public interface. Please do not hesitate to consult the Moving Image or Recorded Sound Research Center for more information about MAVIS.
Additional moving image and recorded sound items created by Tony Schwartz can be found in the Library's catalog and in SONIC (Sound Online Inventory and Catalog). These resources can both be researched from anywhere. Be sure to get in touch with the moving image and recorded sound reference staff as you search our collections - they are always happy to help locate materials!
