An amendment to the advice about where to student film preservation >>>> "L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation at George Eastman House in Rochester, NY. This is considered the best school (if not the only school) " >>>> The Selznick School is indeed a very fine program. However there are now some other programs to consider. Selznick offers a 9-month cetificate program. The University of East Anglia offers a master's degree in Film Archiving. UCLA now offers an M.A. in Moving Image Archiving Studies, combining their Film and Television Archive with the Dept. of Film, TV, Digital. NYU's Cinema Studes Dept. has admitted its first class of grad students for its M.A. in Moving Image Archiving and Preservation. All excellent.
