To continue the train of thought of the last post, the motion pictures in the NARA are predominately documentary type films; but educational, informational, instructional, theatrical and newsreel categories make up portions of the collection too. The film titles in the holdings number well into the tens-of-thousands, covering hundreds of subjects.
Most of the films held in the National Archives were made, acquired, or donated to Uncle Sam without restrictions. Therefore, they are copyright and royalty free. However, there are a fair number of films that do have copyright or use restrictions, particularly within the Donated Materials Group (DMG) collections. It is in your best interest to check with the Motion Picture, Sound, and Video Research Room staff with any questions on this issue.
Until next time,
Phil
