- Abstract
- This presentation is intended to provide an overview of the National Archives of Australia's digitisation process for non-theatrical motion picture film. The Archives has one of the largest collections in Australia comprising approximately 260,000 films, ranging from early nitrate to modern polyester. The vast majority of the collection is 16mm, although nearly all types of film (from original and intermediate components to prints) are represented. These films vary considerably in their overall condition, which affects both long-term preservation and viewing. Discussion will focus on the differing requirements of archival preservation as opposed to restoration activities, as well as the importance of experience and skills in this area.
