What's Past is Prologue

I'm an MLS student on the archives track at the University of Maryland. I found myself posting a lot of articles, photos, links, etc. regarding archives, libraries, books, and other things on my Facebook, and felt it would be better to put these posts in a place specifically for the purpose of creating a fond of sorts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fonds), chronically things I find interesting about archives, libraries and books.

Oh and in the interest of citing sources, the title of the blog is from The Tempest by William Shakespeare.

Exclusive Interview: Torsten Kaiser, Film Restoration and Preservation

mrbnatural6:

I’m pretty sure only super-nerds like me will like this (or even spend the time to read the whole thing), but it’s a GREAT interview with Torsten Kaiser about two restorations of one of my favorite films, M. It’s a great read, even if you’re not as into the technical aspects of film preservation as I am, because it gives you an idea of how FUCKING hard it is to do a restoration of a film…but how completely worthwhile it is.
