==Online collection==
The Texas Archive of the Moving Image website is a streaming video website that includes a variety of Texas-related films such as home movies, industrial films, local television, and [[orphan film]] materials as well as TAMI-curated online exhibits. The TAMI website was launched in 2008 using Glifos Social Media and the [[MediaWiki]] platform. The oldest films in the archive are a collection of [[Edison Studios]] films from the [[1900 Galveston Hurricane]]. The TAMI site includes several curated collections with topics that include President [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] and his family, Texas during the [[Vietnam War]] years, life across Texas during the 1930s and 1940s, and itinerant films.<ref>[http://www.mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/ "Case Study in a Regional Media Archive: Texas Archive of the Moving Image,"] by Alisa Perren, Media Commons, a Digital Scholarly Network, October 18–22, 2010.</ref> TAMI also contains some unusual material produced by Texas television stations in the latter half of the 20th century.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/16/holy-gestalt-the-stars-of-batman-out-of-bat-context/|title=Holy Gestalt: The Stars of 'Batman,' Out of Bat Context|last=Itzkoff|first=Dave|work=[[The New York Times]]|date=September 16, 2010|accessdate=September 23, 2018|author-link=Dave Itzkoff}}</ref><ref>[http://www.slackerwood.com/node/2019 "Texas Archive of the Moving Image Flashback: ‘Target Austin’"].</ref> TAMI streams multiple versions of "[[The Kidnappers Foil]]," a film added to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2012, on its website.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.statesman.com/entertainment/movies/kidnappers-foil-added-registry-for-preservation/c5I9mibugFUxey1Gj8z0HM/|title='Kidnappers Foil' added to registry for preservation|last=Ealy|first=Charles|work=[[Austin-American Statesman]]|date=December 20, 2012|accessdate=September 23, 2018}}</ref> The organization also administers a sister website, www.meltonbarker.org, devoted to the topic of ''[[The Kidnappers Foil]]'' and the itinerant Texas filmmaker [[Melton Barker]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/10/movies/the-kidnappers-foil-a-local-talent-national-treasure.html|title=The Legacy of a Camera-Toting Huckster|last=Petrusich|first=Amanda|work=The New York Times|date=February 9, 2013|accessdate=September 23, 2018|author-link=Amanda Petrusich}}</ref>
