Disney Archives Question

[TheDogbots]

I posted here, because I did not know where this fit But I do know that the archives deal with disney collections so thought someone might be able to help me.

I am doing a term paper on Walt and his legacy, and I had to contact the archives about some things. I was wondering if anybody had the address for the archives and the number.

And,
I was wondering if anyone had contacted them about anything, and what kind of general response did you get? was there some sort of procedure to be followed?

Thankyou for your time.

Dan;
The Disney Archives are located at the Walt Disney Company headquarters in Burbank, CA. It's 500 S. Buena Vista Stree. I forget the zip code. The last time I was there, Dave Smith was in charge of the archives. If you have a general question, you might try posting it here. If I can locate a telephone number I will let you know. Good luck.

My questions really dont fit on the forums...

They were more like general questions about starting a good bibliography for my thesis, which explores how Walt has influenced american culture, and delves a little deeper into whether or not Walt's influences on american culture were direcdted by influences on himself (ie: his hometown, heroes, etc...) or original values he instilled into his work. It is bad wording but that is generally what I am writing about.

I will keep trying to find out the full address, and hopefully a phone number. THough, i suppose they get calls everyday and have people that just deal with disneyana (sp?) stuff... or atleast thats how i make of it from articles I have read.

THankyou for this much though!
