Definition
Programs that conserve, preserve, restore and make more readily accessible to the viewing public motion pictures and videos that are a part of a country's film heritage. Preservation activities include finding lost films, locating and integrating missing footage, improving soundtracks and transferring film images from old nitrate-base film stock which deteriorates and acetate film stock which fades to the most stable format available.
