Testimonials
"The WPA archive has always come through for me and for my clients. Their footage is a part of most of the documentaries on which I have worked. The staff in WPA have always gone the extra mile (and then some) for my clients and for me as a researcher. Questions are answered quickly and accurately. The WPA archive's rates are among the most fair in the United States. The WPA archive is one of the first I go to on any new documentary project on which I serve as researcher. I look forward to many more years of working with WPA and I encourage other researchers take real time to explore its vast collection."

WPA makes it easy to get screeners, and affordable to acquire rights. And it's a pleasure to work with them- they're fast, very helpful, and give your project personalized attention."
