How can I access the Long Beach Museum of Art Video Archive?
Cataloging of the Long Beach Museum of Art Video Archive is ongoing. Videos cataloged to date are in the Research Library Catalog. However, most of the cataloged videos in this archive have not yet been reformatted for viewing. If a particular item has been reformatted, the Library Catalog record will say “Video Use Copy” under “Holdings at this Location.” Library Readers may request these items in the same manner they request any Special Collections material. See the Access Policy and Reader Privileges for more information. Reformatting requests are subject to the approval of the curator and conservator. At this time, we will not reformat videos that are already accessible in other local collections. To make a reformatting request, please contact the GRI. Reformatting requests may take up to three months to process. Reformatted material can be screened in the Special Collections Reading Room by making an appointment.
