The Backlot Movie Archive, Filed by Number
A 14-file archive of silent- and studio-era film performers, presented through accessioned publicity photographs and brief career notes.
Field notes
The archive uses accession numbers rather than a conventional gallery sequence, with files ranging from BMM0000012 to BMM0001667. Its material is identified as silver gelatin, studio-issue publicity prints, and the homepage says the images entered the public domain because they were published without the copyright notice required at the time. A dedicated section distinguishes the silent Our Gang run from the later Little Rascals television identity, while another explains why many photographers remain uncredited.
