The Department of Film, Television and Media at the University of Michigan began in 1972 as an interdisciplinary concentration eventually called the Program in Film and Video Studies. The program brought together the film classes taught by different university departments into a viable concentration for students interested in film. The record group mainly encompasses the administrative activities of the department from 1988 to 2005. Records include: administrative papers and correspondence, program reviews, curriculum requirements, and funding matters.
The record group collectively deals with the operations of the Department of Film, Television and Media, formerly known as the Department of Screen Arts and Cultures, and the Program in Film and Video Studies, mostly during the period of time Gaylyn Studlar served as its director. The record group encompasses the years 1988-2005, but the majority of materials fall within the years 1995-1999. It includes four series: Administrative, Curriculum, Funding, and Publications.
