Media Log

This guide describes more than 800 film, television, and radio productions developed with the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). NEH supports projects that convey significant scholarship to the general public and engage citizens in critical interpretation and analysis of the humanities. Film, video, and radio programs are listed in alphabetical order in one of the following eight sections: (1) United States History and American Studies; (2) Literature and Language; (3) World Culture and History; (4) History, Theory, and Criticism of the Arts; (5) Archaeology and Anthropology; (6) Philosophy, Religion, and Ethics; (7) Children's and Family Programming; and (8) General Humanities. Each program listing includes information about content, production credits, format, length, ancillary materials, awards, and current distribution agent (as of June 1992). All distributor addresses and phone numbers can be found in the back of the book. (TMK)
