Mission Statement
ROC Archive is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit regional audiovisual education archive dedicated to collecting, preserving and providing access to an artistic and historical record across the region’s diverse rural, suburban and urban socioeconomic cultures and heritages. The region includes social interactions found across New York State, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The archive focuses on newsreels, home movies, audio recordings, video recordings and all other audiovisual tools and media, still or moving image, organized to capture the region’s cultural development overtime.
Description
We value the significant stories of the individuals, families and groups captured on media by safeguarding these artifacts in perpetuity for family, community and scholarly use. Our goals are to document the 50,000 Hyatt Videotape collection, providing for renting of equipment to view the archive and creating sharing events and opportunities.
