Visual Materials

This collection chiefly contains studio-produced press photographs of the development of the Universal Pictures movie studio, MCA-Universal Studios, the Universal Studios Tour, and Universal City in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, California, 1910s - 1990s. These materials were acquired and collected by Albert A. Dorskind during his tenure as an executive at MCA Inc.

Views include early filmmaking, street sets and backlots, studio facilities and buildings, personnel (including studio heads Carl Laemmle and Lew Wasserman), and photographs of architectural drawings. The collection includes a portfolio of photographs of concept designs by architects William L. Pereira Associates for the MCA Sheraton Hotel No. 2 (later known as the Sheraton Premiere Hotel) in Universal City; a bound book of photographs of Universal Studios backlot locations; and five VHS-format audiovisual cassette tapes of Universal Studios history and 80th Anniversary celebrations (1985,1994).
