Sponsor a Collection

Would you like to support and expand CFA’s ability to care for and digitize a specific collection?

 

Specialized knowledge, equipment, and supplies along with hours of labor are required to hand-inspect each film, to maintain the cold-storage vault where they are stored, to digitize them, and to describe the films in our catalog to make it possible for the public and researchers to discover them via our website. Collection sponsorships are a commitment to support CFA’s ability to do all of this work for a specific collection of the sponsor’s choosing. View our current collection sponsors here.

 

You can become a sponsor of a CFA collection with a donation of $2,000 or more. If you have questions or would like to learn more, please contact us by phone at (312) 243-1808 or by email at info@chicagofilmarchives.org
