445 Recommendation 4.9: Public Domain Films in Archives can limit types of access even after the 75 years permitted by U.S. copyright law. The Board, recognizing that circumstances surrounding gifts vary widely, recommends that increasing access to donor-controlled public domain materials be approached on a case-by-case basis. In particular, the Board encourages individual archives and donors to reexamine access provisions for public domain titles older than 75 years. Explore delivery methods for making public domain titles held in archives more widely available to remote users through video and online access technologies. Archives have traditionally made films available for study and exhibition on their own premises. Increasingly, it is technically possible for archives to make parts of their holdings-older films unrestricted by copyright or donorsavailable to users off-site. Several archives, including the Library of Congress and the International Museum of Photography and Film at George Eastman House, have experimented with releasing on videotape a handful of such unrestricted silent films. The films released have great cultural significance but a small commercial market. Recommendation 4.10: The Future of Archival Access Recommendation 4.11: Educating Film Preservationists The Board encourages archives to explore ways of releasing such unrestricted films on videotape, possibly through a consortium of archives. They should also begin investigating online access technologies for disseminating this public domain material. Support conferences and goal-oriented working groups among archivists, users, rights holders, and technological innovators to redefme archival access in light of emerging technologies. Although it is impossible to make precise recommendations about the future, archives can work to shape it and take an active part in redefining archival access. The UCLA Film and Television Archive has begun planning a Fall 1995 conference to explore innovative educational use of archival film materials and the application of new technologies in archival access. The National Film Preservation Board supports continuing such dialogue among archivists, educators, studio representatives, and technological innovators on changing access opportunities, especially in relation to new technologies. Create a systematic graduate program for educating new film preservation professionals and continuing education opportunities for those already in the field. Because film preservation is rapidly changing, so too are the educational needs of film preservation professionals. Traditionally, film archivists have learned their skills Rethinking Access and Archives 17 23-267 96-15
