USC Library

The paper holdings of the Academy Foundation Library, founded in 1988, are now located in the USC Cinematic Arts Library. The library includes a collection of TV scripts, books, photographs, other memorabilia and research materials. In 1996, the Cinematic Arts Library acquired the library and archives of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Through an agreement with that institution's board of trustees, USC has established the collection as a separate archive within the Cinematic Arts Library. It has also become a repository for such collections as Johnny Carson's Tonight Show skit files, Garry Marshall's production files for such shows as Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley and materials relating to Star Trek, among others. Other television personalities represented are George Burns and Gracie Allen, Chuck Connors, Steve Allen, Ernie Kovacs, and Edgar Bergen.
