I'm doing the very same thing, Barb. At least I still have some film
fans in town, and I've passed the list to
a couple of universities, who are taking about a total of 150 of our films.
Some film Depts. want film for practising their editing. That still
leaves 4,000 more to find homes. If only
16mm wasn't so heavy, and shipping so costly - I'm not about to ship to
Boston or Chicago.

I have to do some very extreme weeding of our remaining 16mm films.
(Losing their storage space. Space for VHS & DVDs is not effected,
fortunately.)
Do you have archives or other places you'd suggest I contact, who
might want to give some reels a new home?
(I've sent films to the Chicago Film Archive, Harvard's, and have a
list to go to David in Rhode Island.)
