Author Topic: Question about archival film reel from 1958 Ronen Segall Film Handler Posts: 1 From: Mill Bay, BC, Canada Registered: Dec 2018 posted 12-05-2018 12:16 PM                     Hi, my first post here, so I hope it's in the right place. I've come across three film reels from the CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corporation), documenting Vancouver and area in 1958. I'm not sure what to do with them, or what the demand for them is. Do I give them back to the CBC? Are there people who look for old Canadian film reels? Any help or direction is appreciated, and sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum or community. Thank you, Ronen [ 12-05-2018, 01:13 PM: Message edited by: Brad Miller ]  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 12-05-2018 01:14 PM                     All photos must be uploaded to THIS site's server.

They have an environmentally controlled facility known as The Cube to facilitate various levels of storage, and the organization occasionally screens archival material at their venue, the Alamo Theater.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 12-05-2018 05:57 PM                        Ronen, Library and Archives Canada may take them. They have a massive film vault, film scanners, optical printers and a separate Nitrate film vault. I think thats your best bet. Keep the film in Canada. They house over 100,000 film titles.  |  IP: Logged Ron Lacheur Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 650 From: British Columbia, Canada Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-05-2018 06:03 PM                     Ronen, You might want to try the Museum of Vancouver and see if they are interested in them.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-05-2018 06:45 PM                        The National Film Board of Canada would be another place to try. I don't know if the archive stuff other than their own productions, though.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 12-06-2018 07:08 AM                        The NFB is only concerned with their own material. They are also a very closed shop and charge rather large fees to access their films for screenings or to use as stock footage. Library and Archives is all about preservation and access.  |  IP: Logged
