Animation Archive's New BIOPEDIA In the past, books on the history of animation have been organized into chapters by studio or by character. But this kind of organization doesn't tell the real story of how these films were made. The history of animation is a story of PEOPLE... artists working together and learning from each other, moving from studio to studio as their career carries them.

ASIFA-Hollywood wants to tell these people's stories. I would like you to take a look at our new Animation Biopedia. In it, you will find an index of names... each of these names links to an information page on that person. Right now, those pages are empty... That's where YOU come in...

We invite you to submit information on these people. Spend a few hours searching the web or scanning through an animation book to find information on your favorite animator, director or voice artist. Go to the library and look for references to them in magazines or newspapers. Assemble the information and submit it through the comments link at the bottom of that person's page. We will compile all of the submissions and add them to the Biopedia for the whole world to read.

These people have given us all hours and hours of animated entertainment. We can repay them with our respect and acknowledgement. Please take a few hours this holiday season to contribute to the Biopedia. Tell your friends... link to us... if you are an educator, encourage your students to participate. As time goes by, the Biopedia will grow and we will add more names. But we can't do it without your help.
