James J. Taylor

James J. Taylor

James J. Taylor (???? 1931-February 11 2005) was a self-taught videographer and member of Actors' Equity Association in New York. Taylor was the driving force behind the creation of the Washington Area Performing Arts Video Archive (WAPAVA).

After his death, the archive was renamed after Taylor as a posthumous honor — and a rather significant one at that; it is one of only two Actors' Equity-approved collections of theater performances in the country. The other is the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center.

Taylor was once married to Mimi Cazort, Curator Emerita at the National Gallery of Canada; their children include indie rocker Anna Domino and film director Alan Taylor.
