About Legends Licensing and the Milton H. Greene Archives:

The Archives has provided the content for many magazines and licensed products from companies like Bradford Exchange, Franklin Mint, Capitol Records, EMI, RCA Records, Graphique de France, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Time, Life, People, A&E, Newsweek, Neiman Marcus and much, much more...

The Archives was founded in the search to restore a legacy. Milton H. Greene died in 1985 believing that 80% of his 300,000 image collection was lost forever to deterioration. His son, Joshua Greene, spent the next ten years searching for a way to restore his fathers photography.

After many attempts with traditional restoration practices, Joshua Greene was introduced to the miracle of Digital Restoration. In 1994 Joshua Greene founded The Archives.

The Archives has digitally restored hundreds of Milton's original images to date, and is actively involved in restoring, archiving and representing other historical collections both public and private.
