Description

As the agency reported it.

A time capsule of industry, agriculture, explorations, natural wonders, and current events, the works were found at eye film institute netherlands, evaluated onsite, and selected for their research value by a team of american scholars and archivists. Three-quarters no longer exist in the U.S.; the remainder are represented by poorer copies. With NEH support, the nitrate prints will be preserved to 35MM film with reconstructed english-language intertitles, in collaboration with eye, ampas, GEH, LOC, and the oregon historical society, and digital copies will be made available on the web, with new essays and music. Building on our successful repatriation efforts with australia and new zealand, this nfpf-led collaboration will recover "lost" resources for the humanities and pave the way for further film preservation partnerships in europe.]
