Thanks to #MHDL and @archive.org's digitized Business Screen magazine, I can see that Harwald also made an Inspect-O-Film station and that the Natl Education TV & Radio Center in Ann Arbor got the "Mark IV" version in 1961. It used Protect-O-Film liquid to coat their prints.

I came across some images from the early years of WGTV, our educational tv station at UGA's Georgia Center for Continuing Ed.

Then there's this video that #CCAAA produced for #WDAVH2025. Now more than ever, we need to preserve and protect original a-v content. www.ccaaa.org/pages/events...

We're celebrating #WDAVH2025 by watching #CCAAA's film made for the first #UNESCO World Day for AV Heritage from member archives' films. Clips from 2 of our Georgia home movies are in the reel, one shot here in Athens, & one made at an atomic blast in 1953 Nevada. www.unesco.org/archives/mul...

Alas, we do not have this film, as the can this was taped to contained something else.

Wow! We are nearly at the $40,000 mark for our project to restore ATHENS, GA: INSIDE/OUT, a film that put #Athens' music scene on the map! Please share widely and donate what you can! For $500 we'll put your name in the resto credits!

I loathe the way #AI is creeping into research tools with misinformation. This #ancestry detail has #DorothyArzner marrying Rosalind Russell in 1930, living in #Hollywood FL, with two kids, Ruth Chatterton and Frederic March. It would be funny if it wasn't so awful. 😣

Damn. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/b...

I bought it. You should too. Dorothy's work is an inspiration.

Yet another film treatment product.

Spock as film archivist in the 2200s. Good to know he understood that original footage should be preserved as long as possible, even if the content has already been digitized.

Compiling Telenews clips and trying to i.d. unlabeled reels as I go. One is a clip of Izola Curry, who stabbed Dr. King in 1958, found by incl "cat eye glasses" in my search. Another is Elsa Maxwell at a bullfight in 1959. If you'd never seen Elsa Maxwell, how would you figure that one out?

HOLLYWOOD won a Peabody Award for Kevin Brownlow and David Gill, so we have their U-matic entry tapes here in the archives. This is one of the shows that made me want to become an archivist. Worth watching.

We are so sorry to see Peabody Award-winning #TTBOOK leave the airwaves after 35 years of classy, intelligent, thought-provoking shows that entertained and enlighted us. Thank you, Anne & Steve and your team for your great work!

Age yourself with a film you saw in a theater as a kid.

“The hunt for movies that are missing, believed lost, or absent without leave is one of the more demanding thrills of the restorer’s mission. It can be a matter of salvation.”
