Its contents, all drawn from the body of preservation literature available in late 1986 and early 1987, includeexcerpts and documents that are of particular usefulness and/or difficultto obtain through normal channels, and references toover 200 additional items that are more readily available butare not reproduced here due to length or lack of reproduction permission. An introductory bibliography lists the reproductions and references for each subject area, flagged to indicate basic introductory materials and in-depth or supplementary items. The notebook is divided into the following major subject areas: (1) Introductory Readings; (2) The Physical Environment; (3) Protection of Library Materials; (4) Surveying Collection Conditions; ;5) Preservation Organization and Administration; (6) Disaster Prevention and Preparedness; (7) Preservation Microfilming; (8) Cooperative Preservation Activities; (9) Preservation Supplies; (10) Education and Trainingfor Preservation; and (11) Library Materials--Physical Nature and Treatment. (KM) *********************************************************************** 1 Reproductions supplied by MRS are the best thatcan be made * * from the original document. * *********************************************************************** PRESERVATION PLANNING PROGRAM RESOURCE NOTEBOOK INTRODUCTION The revised edition of this notebook, like the original1982 edition is is replacing, was assembled primarily for use with thePRESERVATION PLANNING PROGRAM MANUAL developed and tested by the Associationof Research Libraries' Office of Management Studies, with support ofa grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Its contents should also prove usefulto all those involved in preservation work in libraries andarchives. The RESOURCE NOTEBOOK provides access to backgroundand technical information needed for planning and carrying outa variety of preservation progroms and activities. It is drawn from the ever-increasing bodyof preservation literature available in late 1986-early 1987 andconsists of two complimentary kinds of information: 1) reproductions of over one hundred articles,excerpts and documents which are of particular usefulness and/ordifficelt to obtain through normal channels; 2) references to over two hundred additional itemswhich are more readily available, not reproduced in the notebookdue to length or lack of reproduction permission. Like its 1982 edition compiled by Pamela Darling, thenotebook is divided into eleven major subject areas. It begins with a bibliography of reproductions and references for each subject, flagged to indicatebasic introductory materials and in-depth or supplementary items. The bibliography is followed by the reproductions themselves. Every effort has been made to provide clear copies, but the originals of a few of the materialswere less than ideal, They were included despite this problem, because theirusefulness seemed to justify the extra effort necessary to read them. Appreciation is hereby expressed to all those authors,publishers, editors and creators who gave permission for their workto be reproduced in this notebook.' The notebook is distributed unbound. Users may wish to place sections in separate binders, to whichadditional materials on each topic may be added in the future. A Word of Caution to Readers The literature of the field continues togrow at a rapid pace. As the field matures -- which it has done considerably in recentyears -- both the quantity and quality of its literature and documentation is increased. Yet there remains, of course, uneven development in certainareas. Preservation efforts encounter many complex technical, organizational and proceduralproblems, to whi-h there is as yet no clear consensus about "best"solutions. In short, thcse using the literature in this notebook must beaware of current development in the field of library and archives preservationand must keep abreast of its ever-increasing efforts.

  • Analog, the Sequel: an Analysis of Current Film Archiving Practice and Hesitance to Embrace Digital Preservation by Suzanna Conrad
    ANALOG, THE SEQUEL: AN ANALYSIS OF CURRENT FILM ARCHIVING PRACTICE AND HESITANCE TO EMBRACE DIGITAL PRESERVATION BY SUZANNA CONRAD ABSTRACT: Film archives preserve materials of significant cultural heritage. While current practice helps ensure 35mm film will last for at least one hundred years, digi- tal technology is creating new challenges for the traditional means of preservation. Digitally produced films can be preserved via film stock; however, digital ancillary materials and assets in many cases cannot be preserved using traditional analog means. Strategy and action for preserving this content needs to be addressed before further content is lost. To understand the current perspective of the film archives, especially in regards to the film industry’s marked hesitation to embrace digital preservation, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ paper “The Digital Dilemma: Strategic Issues in Archiving and Accessing Digital Motion Picture Materials” was closely evaluated. To supplement this analysis, an interview was conducted with the collections curator at the Academy Film Archive, who explained the archives’ current approach to curation and its hesitation to move to digital technologies for preservation. Introduction Moving images are a vital part of our cultural heritage. The music, film, and broadcasting industries, as well as academic and cultural institutions, have amassed a “legacy of primary source materials” of immense value. These sources make the last one hundred years understandable as an era of the “media of the modernity.”1 Motion pictures and films were established as vital archival records as early as the 1930s with the National Archives Act, which included motion pictures in the definition of “objects of archival interest.”2 As cultural artifacts, moving images deserve archival care and preservation.3 However, the art of preserving moving images and film can at times be daunting.

In 1924, the company published Bookcraft, its first training manual for the repair of books in school and public libraries. Updated regularly, the publication has provided librarians with simple cost-effective techniques for the care of their collections. When the field of preservation expanded during the 1980s, Gaylord responded with a line of archival products. In 1992, it issued its first Archival Supplies Catalog, followed by its innova- tive series of Pathfinders. Written by conservators, these illustrated guides earned a reputation for reliable information on the care and storage of paper, photographs, textiles, and books. This Guide to Collections Care continues Gaylord’s commitment to providing its users with the reliable information they need to preserve their treasures. Conservators have updated the information from our original Pathfinders and combined all five booklets into this one easy guide. We have also added product references as a convenient resource tool. ©2010, Gaylord Bros., Inc. All rights reserved. Printed in USA Gaylord Bros.

  • NORTHEAST HISTORIC FILM Jbn F7 1993 [, / / I I PO BOX 900, MAIN ST, BUCKSPORT, ME 04416-0900 1
    LIBRARY OF COiiGRESS , NORTHEAST HISTORIC FILM JbN F7 1993 [, / / I I PO BOX 900, MAIN ST, BUCKSPORT, ME 04416-0900 1 Northeast Historic Film would like to bring to the National Film Preservation Board study on the current state of film preservation a statement concerning the significance, and the imperilled state, of the nontheatrical film record. This archives was established to care for regional films. It is an uphill, almost hopeless, battle. "Local history" and "amateur" weigh heavily in some circles as pejorative. Funding support for regional film preservation is virtually nonexistent. We believe that local and regional moving images record and interpret the real issues and real lives of the passing century. From these moving images and sound posterity will understand the era--its life and its art. James Agee wrote, "since intimate specification is even less dispensable to most good art than generalization, I believe that most of the best films, like most of the best of any other art, are and would always have to be developed locally, and primarily for local audiences." (The Nation. 24 Nov 1945). While Agee's is an extreme statement, we'll take the opportunity to stand up for these comers of the national film preservation picture: 1. There are few advocates when the production and exhibition canon is left behind. For example, so-called "our town pictures." often made by itinerant exhibitors, have next to no literature legitimizing the genre. Their valuable look into our nation's democratization of film language and technique, as well as community life, awaits discovery and preservation.
