== History ==<br />
<br />
The company originated as a [[Manhattan]] based research archive named Associated Researchers and Image Quest; it was founded by Joe Lauro and Richard Plagge in 1991. Lauro had previously worked for Archive Films as a researcher and Plagge for FOX MOVIETONE NEWS when they decided to form their own company. They soon realized that licensing footage was more lucrative than acting as researchers.<br />
<br />
In 1993, the company moved to [[East Hampton (town), New York|East Hampton]], close to Plagge's home.{{Citation needed|date=August 2020}}<br />
<br />
In 1994 Plagge died, and Lauro formed a partnership with [[California]] producer Andrew Solt, the owner of the rights to ''[[The Ed Sullivan Show]]''. They converted ARIQ into the Historic Film Archive in 1997.{{Citation needed|date=August 2020}}<br />
