Summary
  • The MPPDA Digital Archives consists of a database of the extant records of the General Correspondence files of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc., covering the period from 1922 to 1939. Established in 1922, the MPPDA was the trade association for the motion picture industry, and included all the major companies producing and distributing motion pictures in the United States in its membership. The association was popularly known as the Hays Office, after its first President, Will H. Hays, who remained office until 1945. Hays was a leading Republican party politician, who resigned from President Warren Hardingís Cabinet to take up the MPPDA position. After Haysí retirement, the association was renamed the Motion Picture Association of America. The documents in the MPPDA ís General Correspondence files are an immensely rich source of information about the history of the motion picture industry. They describe the organization and operation of the industryís trade association, and include extensive correspondence and other documentation relating to industry policy and public relations, distributor-exhibitor relations, censorship and self-regulation. The great majority of this material is unavailable from other sources.
