Hi jasonpcarroll-
First, since this is a series, the credits must be added to the episodes respectively, rather than to the main parent listing for the series.
Further detailed instructions can be found on our following Help Guide under the 'How do I add an episodic credit?' question:
https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/filmography-faqs/GXXHC234LLGMKTEE?ref_=helpart_nav_5#
As per the 'archive,' when you are adding the credits under the Attributes section you will have to check/select the 'archive footage' and save the changes.
Further detailed information on the Archive footage attribute can be found on our following Help Guide:
https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/filmography-credits/archive-footage/G4X4TVH6HXYBW8WM?ref_=helpsrall#
Cheers!
The "archive footage" attribute is relevant for cast/self credits, which is not what is being asked about.
Credits for people who provided video footage or photos could be added under Additional Crew or possibly Thanks. Credits for companies would go under Miscellaneous Companies. If the credits on screen just say "archive", it is sufficient to put that in the role field. If the credits are more detailed you can also include that.
Hi jasonpcarroll,
Depending on the specific case, one of the following variants should be appropriate for "archive"-related credits:
1) The person who preserved but did not shot the archive footage should be credited in the "Additional Crew" section;
2) The person who shot the archive footage should be credited in the "Camera and Electrical Department";
3) The person credited on screen as having both filmed and preserved the archive footage should be credited in both the “Additional Film Crew” and “Camera and Electrical Department” sections;
NOTE:
4) The above variants should not be used when the original film was re-released with additional on-screen credits for those who preserved the original footage in their archives. In such cases the preservation work should be added on the name-pages of the archivists into the section "Other work", and also can be mentioned on the title page in trivia.
