469 • Creates high-quality preprint materials for studio use as well as additional preservation materials safeguarded in public archives that can be consulted by the studio should the need arise. • Realizes commercial benefits from the exploitation of newly restored titles in exhibition and ancillary markets. The archive specifically: • Obtains high-quality preprint materials to safeguard the title for future generations. • Obtains high-quality film prints for use in research and in public programs. • Contributes to projects having a broad popular impact, and thus promotes the archives' film preservation work and cultural mission. Both partners: • Develop a wider circle of working relationships and trade ideas and preservation techniques. Key Features of Successful Projects A. The studio and archive would jointly select titles for preservation evaluation. The studio, in consultation and agreement with the archive, would select and prioritize titles from its library for the purpose of determining their preservation needs. Prime candidates for early inclusion would be titles that the studio already suspects require restoration. B. The archive would evaluate the preservation needs of each title. The archive would inspect and evaluate the preservation status of each selected title. This process would involve two steps: 1. Physical inspection. The archive would inspect the studio's existing preservation elements and other appropriate materials to determine their quality (picture and sound) and condition (scratches, tears, splices, signs of deterioration, etc.). Many titles may be found to be adequately protected and need no further work. Others, however, may require upgrading or even restoration to insure proper preservation.
