Instructional Media Production traces its history back to the founding of ETV at UCLA in the mid-1950s. We are a direct decendant of that organization (with a number of name changes and reorganizations along the way). Our archives contains the triumphs (and the follies) of our founders, our present production staff, and all the creative people who have worked here in between.

On a bi-monthly basis, we will haul out some of the treasures from the vaults and feature them here. We hope you find them interesting, entertaining, thought-provoking, or just plain weird. If you want to contact us about any of them, please feel free. If you would like to use them in a class or show them to a group, please contact the Instructional Media Library.

To view these files you will need the RealPlayer, available free of charge from Real Networks. We recommend the G2 player, since these presentations use features unique to that player. Visit our tools page for information on downloading and installing the RealPlayer software.

A visit to the UCLA Ocean Discovery Center should straighten you out on that one. You'll also find out how UCLA is letting LA's elementary school students get their hands on some real science.

Would you believe a talking Royce Hall? You'd better!. He has some seismically-sound advice to keep you safe when the next one hits. Learn what to do before, during and after a big quake, and how to place your advance orders for the "I Survived the Big One" T-shirts!

Erick Hawkins was one of the pillars of modern dance. (Wife No. 1 was Martha Graham.) The dance company he founded still performs his work today. Hawkins is seen here in a very rare performance and interview with UCLA Dance Department founder Alma Hawkins.

Every year the College of Letters and Science honors outstanding seniors and graduate students, recognizes a distinguished faculty member, and pays tribute to an Honorary Fellow. Video profiles of each of the honorees provides the highlight of the annual awards dinner. Here's how it looked in 1994.

Los Angeles, in many ways, is America's "new Ellis Island". Whether viewed as the "first Third World metropolis" or as the prototype for cities of the next millenium, LA provides the context for an examination of the complex issues of diversity at UCLA.

Karin Higa, Curator at the Japanese-American National Museum, takes us on a personal tour of the historic exhibition marking the 50th anniversary of the internment camps. She examins the works as art objects and as social documents.
