Gene,
 
A good companion book to, Henri Langlois; first citizen of Cinema, is
Penelope Houston's, KEEPERS OF THE FRAME, The Film Archives. 1994 BFI.  It
is a well written book on the various international archive movements.  Iris
Berry at MOMA, Langlois at his cinematheque, lindgren at NFA in the UK, as
well as a host of other movers & shakers.  A very good read.
