Human Studies Film Archives of the Smithsonian Institution

The Human Studies Film Archives (HSFA) celebrates 35 years of preserving, documenting, and providing access to moving images for the broad study of world cultures and the development of ethnographic filmmaking.

The collections encompass a wide range of documentary, travelogue, ethnographic, and amateur film genres that span most of the 20th century and are supported with still photographs, audio and paper records.

In 2009, HSFA's "John Marshall Ju/'hoan Bushman Film and Video Collection, 1950-2000" was inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register
