Archives
Thanks to a partnership with UMass Amherst Libraries, we now have The Independent magazine archives digitized and available in PDF form by year, for its entire print run from 1976-2006.
The next phase of our Archive Preservation Project aims to make the archive even more user-friendly by repackaging these print issues by article, and in the context of our newly designed website, integrating access to the past with cross-media, cross-discipline, cross-decade conversation about today’s independent film.
To make it a bit easier to find articles in the archives, we have created a series of PDFs of just the magazine covers and table of contents of The Independent. See: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
