Welcome to this new page on albanyward.com Here you will find information on researching cinema history, with useful tips and resource links.   Education is a very important part of this site and more content will be added soon To begin, I have written a brief history of cinema development over the past 100 years.  This general history is only a brief summary of an enormous subject.  It will however help to explain the many and varied cinema buildings surviving today
