Dear folks, Obviously, the best you can do is to borrow a 16mm and a projector or you can try to get ahold of Jack Willis for permission to master a copy. However, there's a lot more ways to go about this as well since it's just for research purposes. This is where it pays to be a member of AMIA.
Since it was an NET production, you might want to try the Paley Center for Media in NYC, the wonderful and very capable...

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
