The Women's Film Preservation Fund (WFPF), part of New York Women in Film and Television (NYWIFT), was established in 1995 in association with MoMA to preserve films in which women have played a significant creative role. Since its founding, this important initiative—the only fund of its kind in the world—has supported the preservation of more than sixty films made between 1919 and 1990.
