Committee minutes document curriculum changes, equipment purchasing, and budgeting. Also included are proposals for formation of bachelor's degrees. Files pre-dating the department's creation in 1975 consist mainly of proposal and planning items and programs from the Milwaukee Film Circle, a society which held screenings at the UWM Union and had university faculty as its organizers.
