Hi Rhonda, Looks like Hens Tooth distributed it on VHS in 1997. They have a contact us form online at http://www.henstoothvideo.com/ContactUs.html. Worth a shot.
Also in 1994 was distributed by Facets Multimedia, and according to their website you can *rent* the VHS from them still: http://www.facetsmovies.com/user/movieDisplay.php?movie_id=885361 Maybe contact Facets and see if they know who has rights?? Although they're running a Netflix-like service for rare/op titles so I don't know if they would have any idea. Good luck!! I think the professor could make a DVD copy for himself (quality will probably be terrible ...) but you really can't add it to the library collection. I poked around to see if I could even find a used VHS that you could purchase and add to your collection, and then make a Section 108 copy, but I couldn't find anything available.

Hi, I have a faculty member who owns the VHS copy of this title and wants to put it on DVD. I don't see it available for purchase in DVD and I can't find a copyright holder. If anyone has any info on this title, I'd be thrilled to follow it up. Otherwise, I am thinking he can make a preservation DVD copy for himself? And, he wants to make another copy for the library for circulation also. (personally, I'm not sure what the quality of the tape is going to be, but that's another story...) --Rhonda Anton Chekhov's The three sisters as staged for the Actors Studio Theatre on Broadway by Lee Strasberg / Geraldine Page; Shelley Winters; Sandy Dennis 1965 English [Visual Material] Visual Material : Videorecording : [VHS tape] VHS tape 2 videocassettes (VHS) (166 min.) : sd., b&w ; 1/2 in.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
