Heritage Film Project has produced films and a photographic archive on the lives of research and faculty members at the University of Virginia. These films have enjoyed a variety of distribution channels, and the images produced have been included in the permanent collection of the Claude Moore Health Science Library and other archive resources. The collection of films includes interviews with, Teresa A. Sullivan, Jared Loewenstein, Julian Bond, Larry Sabato, Raul Baragiola, Rita Dove, and others. Many of the biographical sketches resulting from these interviews have premiered on PBS affiliates such as WHTJ, are available throughout social media, while public performance rights are licensed through Alexander Street Press. In 2015, in association with the School of Education and Human Development (formerly the Curry School of Education), and the Brown College, Heritage Film Project was awarded a grant in the amount of $85,000.00 [3] to produce Monroe Hill, a one-hour documentary on the life of James Monroe during the period in which he occupied his first farm in Albemarle County.
