Preserving Midwest culture, history, and stories through media, film, and documentary content. The record of a region that often goes unrecorded.
The Midwest has a rich, complex history that gets buried under coastal narratives. The Midwest Film Archive exists to change that.
Historical footage, documents, and media from across the Midwest — sourced, organized, and preserved for future reference.
Original documentary content telling Midwest stories that deserve a wider audience. The people, places, and events that shaped the region.
A permanent record of Midwest culture — the businesses, communities, and traditions that make this region distinct and worth understanding.
