Moving Image Research Collections

The Moving Image Research Collections (MIRC) at the University of South Carolina is dedicated to safeguarding and preserving films and videos created outside the American feature film industry. Our primary objective is to make these valuable resources accessible to both current and future audiences. To achieve this, we offer a wide range of avenues for accessing and licensing our exceptional collection of materials. Whether you are a researcher, educator, filmmaker, or enthusiast, we provide various means to explore and utilize these historically significant films and videos.
