The Cornell Cinema video collection includes U.S. and international art film and art video works and documentary, as well as video distribution catalogs. As director of Cornell Cinema from 1982-1994, Richard Herskowitz began a program of purchasing and lending film and video artworks on videocassette. Subsequent Cinema director Mary Fessenden continued this program as long as demand persisted, then donated the video collection to the Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art in 2014. The collection is an important part of the history of Cornell Cinema. The collection focuses on significant works of historical, international, independent art cinema and video art. It includes catalogs from two video art exhibitions and annual catalogs from video distributors of the 1980s and 1990s. It also has Cornell Cinema calendars and posters from 1971 to 1983.
