Motion Pictures, 1960-1969: Catalog of Copyright Entries
Library of Congress. Copyright Office
1971
The most comprehensive record of 1960s American cinema exists not in film archives but in this catalog. Compiled by the Library of Congress Copyright Office, this volume documents every motion picture registered for copyright protection between 1960 and 1969 - thousands of films ranging from major studio releases to industrial shorts, educational films, and obscure independents. For film historians, this is an indispensable research tool; for anyone curious about what Americans were actually watching and producing during the decade, it offers an unparalleled snapshot. The entries document not just titles but the machinery of intellectual property: claimants, registration numbers, technical formats. This is bureaucratic archaeology at its finest - a complete picture of a decade in film, far beyond the canonical titles that dominate retrospectives.
