  • Great Literature Collection
    Great Literature Collection Aldrich Ames: Traitor Within CIA operative Aldrich Ames has, like his father, always been a company man. Although not always competent, he is chief of the Counter Intelligence Soviet Branch and has few friends within the Agency. On the verge of financial ruin due to, among other things, his wife Rosario's heavy spending, the hard-drinking and desperate Ames decides to sell secrets to the Russians. His first "job" has fatal consequences for ten Russians who worked for the CIA. Ames' boss, the Chief of Operations, who is friendly toward Ames, discovers that someone within the CIA is divulging high-level information. He appoints Jeanne Vertefeuille to head up the investigation. Jeanne recruits her own older staff, derisively dubbed the "over the hill gang". Poring through an abundance of records, case files and information proves to be an awesome task and their search goes on for eight years. After a year-long stint in Rome and now with Bush in the White House, Ames continues turning over information to the Russians for millions of dollars, re-routing deposits to Swiss banks and his wife's family in Colombia. Still an alcoholic, he buys a Jaguar and moves his family to an expensive home in a plush suburb. Ames soon realizes, however, that the investigation is closing in and gets very nervous when a Russian politico who could disclose Ames' duplicity defects to America. Ames gets lucky, his treason is not yet uncovered. Ames' own actions, however, begin to draw suspicion towards him, especially when he tries to conduct his own investigation to uncover the spy within the CIA.

  • 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.

  • 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.
