Home Movie Preservation (in-progress)

Starting in December 2005, I began the process of preserving my grandmother’s home movies for use in a future project. Starting in August 2006, several posts on this site chronicle this process. If you’ve missed any of the posts, you can find them here by clicking on the link:

Preservation Project is a collection of films, video, workshops, and events that document the ephemeral nature of everything from pigeons to Japanese paper.
