There is also a need for improved techniques for monitoring the condition of films over time so that archives can duplicate films or take other preservation measures when necessary. Conclusion Film must be managed like any other valuable, but finite, national resource. We can no longer afford to have a narrow focus in film preservation, concentrating on just one approach or one type of film. A new preservation policy must emphasize education, prevention of decay, and closer integration with outreach activities that make film accessible to a wider audience. This requires an educational initiative to teach the theory and practice of preventive care, and new tools with which to monitor and assess storage conditions. It will involve reexamination of both the funding structures and the practices of film preservation, but it will result in more films being available to us and to future generations.
