Report of the Historical and Museum Committee

This Commitee in the past few months has been occupied with bringing together biographical records of many of the pioneers of the motion picture. These records, which are authenticated by early documentary evidence, patents, and contemporary accounts, are to be published when complete in the JOURNAL. It is the hope of the Committee to create a complete record of the beginnings of the motion picture for the JOURNAL so that future students who endeavor to establish and to investigate the origins of the industry can find an authoritative account in the JOURNAL. The Committee will appreciate any suggestions regarding memoirs, documents, or other information that will throw light on the early developments.
