The strength of the collection is language learning, but there are also some cultural films. The collection is non-circulating. The collection grows by approximately 100 - 150 titles per year. Titles do not circulate. The bequest of the Stanton Collection in 1992 provided impetus for collecting feature film and documentary video titles.
Many titles continue to be added through orders for course reserves.
A viewing facility is available whenever the library is open. The collection is quite small and is determined by need. There are approximately 20 technical VHS videos in the areas of Primatology and Veterinary Laboratory Medicine. There is a viewing facility that holds 40 people. The collection includes stock photography and Harvard events.
