title: Dick Whittington Photography Collection, 1924-1987

description: The "Dick" Whittington Studio was the largest and finest photography studio in the Los Angeles area from 1924 to 1987. Specializing in commercial photography, the Whittington Studio took photographs for nearly every major business and organization in Los Angeles; in so doing, they documented the growth and commercial development of Los Angeles. Clients included Max Factor, the Broadway, Bullock's, and May Co. department stores, the California Fruit Growers Association, Signal Oil, Shell Oil, Union Oil, Van de Kamp's bakeries, Forest Lawn, Sparkletts Water, CBS, Don Lee Television, Goodyear Tire and Rubber, real estate developers, construction companies, automobile, aircraft, and railroad companies, and drive-in theaters. Another notable client was the University of Southern California, which contracted with the Whittington Studios for coverage of athletic and other events. The collection consists primarily of roughly 500,000 negatives; the rest are photoprints. Supporters The collection is only partially digitized, but thanks to the generous help of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), the USC Libraries has digitized 76,645 at-risk negatives in obsolete formats from the 1920s to 1940s.

title: Chinese Cinema Posters

description: David E. James provides (2024 April 25) the following information regarding the provenance of the Chinese Cinema Posters."In 1990, I was appointed a professor in the School of Cinema at USC. Thereafter I regularly taught Chinese film and I developed a personal connection with the China Film Group Corporation (the state export company, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Film_Group_Corporation), from whom I was able to obtain films from the PRC for my classes. In September 2006, the LA office closed, and my friends there invited to me take whatever of their films and posters I wanted. A Mr. Wang there said they had 120 films, 90 in 35 mm and 30 in 16 mm. Thinking that these would be valuable additions to the USC Film Archive, I gladly accepted their offer.""I was assisted in obtaining these by Professor TAN Jia, now at the Chinese University of Hong Kong but who was at that time a USC graduate student writing her dissertation on Chinese cinema. Dr. Tan did most of the work obtaining the films from the storage facility, but together we obtained over 100 films and 125 posters for Chinese films from China Film. Most of these films were from the 1980s and 1990s, with a few exceptions from the 1940s to 1970s. We deposited them all in the USC Cinema Archive, and for more than a year Dr. Tan was employed to catalog the film prints. Since then, the Archive has made the films available to educational establishments and film festivals. Dr. Tan, together with Dr. Feng-Mei Heberer, another USC graduate student at that time, curated 'Chinese Female Filmmakers Screening Series: Highlighting USC China Film Collection' screening program for 'Cinematheque 108' at USC in November 2009."USC users may login using SSO (https://digitallibrary.usc.edu/saml2/login.aspx) to view the posters.
