Biographical/Historical Note
The Media Development Center provides photographic, audio, videotape, and graphic services to the University community. In 1955, a faculty member was appointed Director of Audio-Visual Aids to assist the faculty in preparing film orders and evaluating equipment. A full-fledged Audio-Visual Services department existed by the early 1960s and was responsible for audio-visual instruction, equipment purchase and distribution, offset duplicating, production of educational materials, and photographic services. The department’s name was changed to the Media Development Center in 1971 as part of an administrative reorganization which accompanied the creation of the University of Wisconsin System.
