MacDonald & Associates
Welcome
to MacDonald & Associates, an historical
film archive of extraordinary scope. Come and view a Century of
Film, a tour of all aspects of the Twentieth Century as preserved
on motion pictures. We have it all—the bizarre and mundane, the
noble and infamous—politics, medicine, sports, family life,
travel, newsreels, animated cartoons, musical performance, war,
popular culture, television, radio, advertising, etc., etc.—indeed, the fullness of civilization in the age of the
movie camera. If you seek to visualize aspects of the human
experience, allow us to be of assistance. |

Telescriptions
Our holdings consist of PUBLIC DOMAIN titles
and films that remain protected through copyrights. While
Public Domain footage can be licensed immediately by
MacDonald & Associates, protected films must be cleared
with the copyright holder before being used in a new
production. Just because a motion picture is in our
inventory, it does not mean that MacDonald & Associates
maintains the legal right to license its use. Please contact
us for the copyright status on individual titles.

MacDonald
& Associates Profile
MacDonald &
Associates makes its film holdings available to the
professional creative community. We do not sell to the
general public. Instead, we serve the wide spectrum of media communicators—from TV producers and documentary makers, to
advertising agencies, museum exhibitors, and feature film
directors. Be it a single stock shot or a collection of
subject-specific films, MacDonald & Associates' footage
helps you convey your ideas.
As well as our master materials
on film, we maintain a Vintage Audio Archive. Spanning more
than a century of recorded sound, our inventory consists of
40,000 hours of radio programs, speeches, interviews, and
vintage musical performances. Our clients often find
advantage in combining vintage sound recordings and historic
film footage.
MacDonald
and Associates About Our President
Dr. J. Fred MacDonald is
Professor of History, Emeritus at Northeastern Illinois
University in Chicago. He holds Bachelors and Masters degrees
in History from the University of California at Berkeley, and
a Doctorate in History from the University of California at
Los Angeles.
Dr. MacDonald's areas of
specialty were modern European and American history. Although
he taught 19th and 20th century French, Italian, and European
diplomatic history, most of his 27 years in university life
were spent researching and teaching the history of U.S.
popular culture—in particular, the social-cultural history
of U.S. television and radio. In this regard, he wrote six
books. They are:
1) One
Nation Under Television. The Rise and Decline of Network TV.
(1990).
(1990)
2) Richard Durham's Destination Freedom: Scripts from
Radio's Black Legacy, 1948-1950. (1989)
3) Who
Shot the Sheriff? The Rise and Fall of the Television Western.
(1987)
4) Television
and the Red Menace. The Video Road to Vietnam. (1985)
5) Blacks and White TV. Afro-Americans in
Television Since 1948. (1984; rev. 1992)
6) Don't
Touch That Dial! Radio Programming in American Life,
1920-1960. (1979). (1979)
