Research files of Harry Arends, producer, director, and editor of numerous film and television specials from 1977 to 2001.
The majority of these specials were for Walt Disney Productions, including
Disney Sing-Along-Songs,
The Best of Disney, and the
Making of Walt Disney's Masterpieces. Files for both Disney and other material--such as clip segments for the Emmy Awards--include show rundowns with production
numbers, research files, synopses, cast information and sometimes broadcast dates. Much of the Disney research was for repurposing
animation using Disney footage to illustrate songs.
The collection is divided into two series: Series 1. Disney (containing material related to Disney productions only) and Series
2. Other (not Disney) (containing files of non-Disney-related productions)
