"The Media History Digital Library is a massive archive of documents about the history film, television, and radio. The library can now be searched and the documents viewed online through MHDL's new site called the Lantern. On Lantern you will find reviews and critiques of movies, books and playbills, many periodicals about the movie, television, and radio industries. Your search can be refined according to date, language, and publication type. You can also browse through collections curated by MHDL.

Applications for Education

"Two thoughts came to mind as I browsed through MHDL's Lantern. First, it's obviously an excellent resource for students studying the history and development of media. Second, through MHDL's Lantern you could find some good examples of how to write a critique. Your students could use those as models for writing their own critiques of movies or even of books."

Interesting description of the Media History Digital Library, which is a massive archive of documents about various forms of media including film, television and radio. This would be a great resource for those wanted to research pop culture or media history.  

The archive site is called the latern and has many documents regarding media pieces including critiques and and evaluations. Could be a good tool for students to pick up pointers on how to compose a critique or media studies.

USC Contributes Content to Digital Public Library -- Campus Technology

USC Contributes Content to Digital Public Library -- Campus Technology | Into the Driver's Seat | Scoop.it

"The University of Southern California (USC) Libraries has partnered with the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA) as a content hub and has contributed more than 250,000 items from its own digital library to the DPLA.

 

"The DPLA, which launched in April, provides scholars, students, and public researchers from around the world with a single point of access to photographs, manuscripts, books, sounds, videos, and other items from the country's libraries, archives, and museums. The DPLA contains more than 2.8 million items, and the addition of USC Libraries' collections more than quadruples the DLPA's number of items related to the history of Los Angeles and Southern California.

 

“USC Libraries have such rich and deep collections, and they are at the forefront of digitizing and preserving an incredible range of materials,” said Dan Cohen, executive director of DLPA, in a prepared statement. “It is wonderful to welcome USC Libraries as a content hub and to add their unique subject strengths to ours.”
