History of CCUMC
Founded in 1971 as the Consortium of University Film Centers (CUFC), the organization became the Consortium of College and University Media Centers in 1988.
CCUMC has been involved in many special projects supporting the field, including:

VHS copies of the videoconference are available from the CCUMC Executive Office.
