An interesting film on lumberjacks and forestry / dealing with faded color film.

[Daniel D. Teoli Jr.]

It is unusual that films come with a scan, but this film did. It was a MP4 file, about 300 mb.  You buy a film for $10...you get a scan for free. It was a decent scan for online use; the only problem was the film was faded pink and had no color left to recover.

You know the type, if you have been around old film...

I have a ton of these pink films in the archive. What I do it to turn them into B&W. That is what I did here.

No idea how many red films I have. I will have an idea if and when I ever get them all inventoried. I'm maybe 55% done with the inventory. I haven't done any work in that area for a few years. I still need to organize the shelves in ABC order. This area will be for 'M to R' films. There is a duplicate set of shelves behind this set for 'S to Z.' 'H' section has its own shelf unit, is the biggest section. Tons of H-ome movies there.

Small gauge film is the largest area of archival preservation I work in...yet it is the least utilized material in the archive, as I have no decent scanner. Film preservation is a fascinating area to work in. It is like Christmas every day when you are working with 'pig in a poke' films. No idea what you will find! Can't go by the reels or cans. Much of it never matches the film or films have no labeling at all.
