What is an archive and how do people use it? How do things end up in an archive? And what the heck are "moving images," anyway? 
Hannah Palin, Moving Image Curator at the University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections, will take you on a deep dive into a few collections featuring women filmmakers. These artists have been overlooked or have faded from our collective memory, but their work is sophisticated and passionate and definitely worth watching. After listening, you're going to need to go watch the work of Doris Chase, Ruth Kirk, and Jean Walkinshaw. Films from the Ruth and Louis Kirk Moving Image Collection are available on the University of Washington Libraries Digital Collections site, and works from the Doris Chase video and art collection are available on the Internet Archive. Programs from the Jean Walkinshaw films and videos will soon be available through the Internet Archive.
