Upcoming Doc Encyclopedia

[jeffrey isaacs]

Looking over the categories, I would think that an entry on education 
film would be worthwhile just on the strength of 1920s/30s discourse. 
Also, it provides an opportunity to represent a large chunk of 
pre-war and immediate post-war documentary production.

If there is indeed a way to increase the number of entries, a short 
bit on newsreel theaters from the the Showa teens/20s is an important 
story.

Who are the editors?
