Spencer Douglass Crockwell was a commercial illustrator, experimental filmmaker, inventor, Mutoscope collector, amateur scientist, and Glens Falls, New York, resident. The Douglass Crockwell Collection contains Mr. Crockwell's personal papers, professional documents, films, Mutoscope reels, flip books, drawings, and photographs documenting his professional, civic, and personal life.

The Lothar Wolff Collection consists of correspondence (both business and personal), photographs, publications and clippings, research materials, awards and citations, artwork, and film and video dating from 1926 to 1987. The bulk of the collection represents Wolff’s professional career, including materials related to completed and proposed film and television projects and other business dealings; very little is of a personal nature. The collection includes material documenting Wolff’s involvement with many notable figures involved in motion pictures, including Louis de Rochemont, Louise Brooks, G. W. Pabst, and Paul Fejos.
