This subseries contains advertising materials, outlines, notes, scripts, research materials, newspaper clippings, still images, and proposals from various published and unpublished CD-ROM and laserdisc projects. The bulk of the materials in this subseries date from 1980-1997, however research materials for Stonehill's Understanding D. W. Griffith project date back to the 1890s and early 20th century.

Also included in this subseries are materials from the laserdisc Les Enfants du Paradis (Children of Paradise), the 1991 version of Marcel Carne's 1945 film, that Brian Stonehill produced and directed and which received the Laser Tribune award for Best Special Feature Disc and Best All-Around Disc. Materials from two other laserdisc projects that Stonehill worked on Regard for the Planet: 50,000 Photographs by Marc Graranger and Truffaut, 400 Blows and Jules and Jim are also included in this series.

Two of the CD-ROM projects represented in this series, Screen Smarts and House of Visual Literacy, are based on book projects that are located in Series 6.3. Books. The largest body of records in this series with regard to the development of a CD-ROM is the Understanding D. W. Griffith materials. The D. W. Griffith project was started by Brian Stonehill before his death and completed by the original project team after his death. In researching this project Stonehill had access to the papers and still images of D. W. Griffith located at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Brian Stonehill referred to this project as, "an interactive, scholarly, archival multimedia project." Understanding D. W. Griffith materials are also located in Subseries 8.3. CD-ROMs and include back-up discs from the project, project demos, and still images from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

This subseries is arranged alphabetically by the title of the project.
