Abstract
Some pictorial evidence of all motion pictures produced should be preserved. Bulkiness of material, however, and expense of handling makes preservation of all motion pictures in their entirety impracticable. A solution may be found in the use of film strip which would preserve one frame of each important scene. The Library of Congress proposes to preserve a considerable part of the motion pictures produced. Considerations in selection policy include possible uses to be made of such a collection, the avoidance of repetitions matter, and the public acclaim given such material in the form of both critical opinion and box office returns. The collection will be world-wide in scope and will include both 35-mm and 16-mm film. The motion picture industry is invited to cooperate in creating a national film library on the theory that such a library will be mutually advantageous to all concerned —government, education, research personnel, procedures, and others.
