The publication of two editions of the Association of Moving Image Archivists’ (AMIA) hybrid journal The Moving Image and the retention of four staff members.

AMIA seeks $50k from the National Endowment of the Humanities to support the production of issues 22.1/22.2 and 23.1 of its print journal, The Moving Image, a hybrid journal that aligns with several professions and communities of thinkers, scholars and practitioners interested in archival issues and materials. This journal is unique in that it provides a platform for writers who are practitioners in the field of moving image archives and therefore not typically included in academic journals, and its ability to bridge and foster meaningful communication between multiple communities working in film, archives and preservation offers a significant contribution to the advancement of the public humanities.
