468 Express (1932), early sound shorts by the Vitaphone Company (1927-29), Noah's Ark (1929), and Tess of the Storm Country (1914). In addition the studios and archives have collaborated in promoting screenings of studiopreserved titles such as The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), Gone with the Wind (1939), and The Wizard of Oz (1939), and thus furthering public interest in preservation and increasing the audience for restored films. Why Prepare Voluntary Guidelines? The Public-Private Cooperation Task Force, appointed by the Librarian of Congress to advise on the national film preservation plan, has developed the following voluntary guidelines to assist interested studios and archives in developing constructive partnerships. The guidelines draw upon task force members' experiences over the past decade in joint restoration ventures and summarize key features contributing to successful efforts. The guidelines suggest an informal framework for designing mutually beneficial collaborations and can be applied to single projects or ongoing programs. Benefits of Cooperative Restoration Projects By pooling resources and expertise to preserve major studio-owned titles, a studio and a public archive can produce high-quality preservation materials, adding to a film's long-term commercial value and supporting the role of archives in safeguarding America's film heritage. The studio specifically: • Obtains advice in determining which films are of considerable cultural interest to the American film-viewing public and worth the investment of a full-scale restoration. • Develops a clear framework for preservation planning and prioritization. • Obtains detailed research on key titles and evaluations of the preservation quality of film materials in its library. • Ensures that the best-available materials-from both commercial and public collections -are used in the restoration process. 44 Redefining Film Preservation
