Paul Fonoroff Collection

UC Berkeley acquired the Paul Kendel Fonoroff Collection in 2015. The C. V. Starr East Asian Library now holds the largest and most comprehensive Chinese film studies collection in North America. The over-70,000 periodicals, posters, photographs, and ephemera contained in the collection document the development of the film and entertainment industry of greater China from its inception in the early decades of the twentieth century to the 1990s, while offering a fresh perspective on the history of Chinese popular culture, media, society and social life. For more information and titles lists of poster, lobby cards and journals, please visit The Paul Kendel Fonoroff Collection for Chinese Film Studies.
