The AFI Research Collection at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia is a goldmine that is near criminally underused - every filmmaker and film critic in the country should be using it as part of their regular professional practice, yet so many don't even know it exists!

You do not need to be an academic to visit an archive.
You do not need a degree to visit an archive.
There is no terrifying Don at the door grilling potential visitors.
If it's your first time, a nice archivist will help you.
It's our shared history, our preserved records. Go explore it.
