Film Preservation Workshop

Basic Film Preservation Workshop in Portland, Oct. 27, 2012

*The workshop is now full, but we will still accept registrations for the waiting list. (9/17/2012)*

The University of Oregon Libraries is pleased to host a one-day workshop in basic film preservation. The workshop is designed for people working in archives, historical societies, libraries, and other institutions that have film collections but no one with expertise to handle it properly. Two experienced moving image archivists will lead the workshop: Hannah Palin, Film Archive Specialist, and Nicolette Bromberg, Visual Materials Curator, from Special Collections at the University of Washington Libraries. They will cover how to handle, assess, document, and store archival film, as well as how to set up a low-cost film preservation program. Attendance will be limited to 15 participants. The workshop is free, but registration is required.

Please print and fill out the registration form below, and mail it to: Elizabeth Peterson, 1299 University of Oregon Libraries, Eugene, OR 97403-1299. Registered participants will be notified via email.
