The Film Preservation Guide: The Basics for Archives, Libraries, and Museums

摘要

Nearly ten years since its print publication, The Film Preservation Guide: The Basics for Archives, Libraries, and Museums is yet a worthy resource to bookmark if you or the patrons you serve have even a single reel of film sitting on a shelf. Searchable PDFs of each chapter and complete book are a free download made possible by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. I have overheard many archivists labelling this guide as a "must read" for everyone who works with film collections. In fact, it is required reading for all staff and student assistants who will have their "white-cotton-gloved hands" (NFPF, p. 20) on the films in the collections I manage.
