Lantern's 10 Year Anniversary

We're getting ready to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Lantern, the search platform for the collections of the Media History Digital Library, which digitizes historic books and magazines related to film and broadcasting history for broad public access.

In late July of 2013, the first version of Lantern made its public debut, providing easy access to thousands of books and magazines related to the histories of film, broadcasting, and recorded sound. The electrifying response of that first week online has motivated us to keep improving the service and collections ever since.

As part of our 10 year celebration, we would like to highlight how scholars, teachers, critics, curators, and fans have used Lantern within their own work. If you are interested in sharing quotes and information for us to publicly share, please fill out the form below.
