The Mary Pickford Foundation is committed to working with archives all over the world to not only preserve Mary Pickford’s films, but all silent films. We strive to be an invaluable resource for students, scholars, researchers, filmmakers and anyone interested in discovering and preserving the history of early Hollywood.
