In September 1998, the UCLA Film
and Television Archive received a three-year grant to develop a
new graduate study program in Moving Image Archive Studies. The
Archive Studies program is being developed in collaboration with
UCLA's Department of Film and Television and the Department of Information
Studies. This program is the one most like the traditional MLS programs
with which archivists are familiar, granting MIAS degrees. The formal
program began in the Fall of 2002.
