Abstract
Film and video preservation and restoration is one of the most pressing unsolved problems faced by libraries and studios today. The basics of this science, unlike that of book preservation, are still being explored and developed. The end goal of my project was to compile and create a resource using materials culled from the best research to date on this problem. The preservation committee of the BYU Harold B. Lee Library would then use my resource to develop a workflow, set of standards, and “best practices” approach to dealing with BYU’s film and preservation issues. I worked under the direction of University Archivist Gordon Daines and Video Production Manager Mike Hill of the Library to decide the scope of my research and the final format of my findings.
