Don't let your films decay! Take them to Home Movie Day at the Albany Town Hall on October 21
Do you have a box of old super 8 films in your attic that you are wondering about? Do you have a box of your grandmother's 16mm films that you can't look at because the projector is broken, or concerned the films are too fragile and old to put on a projector?
Bring your films to Home Movie Day in the NEK, where we will have experts on hand to help you review your films, and offer guidance on their care and preservation.
Join Film Archivist Mary Albee; Rachel Onuf, Vermont Historic Records Director; and Vermont Historical Society Volunteer Fred Pond at the Albany Town Hall, ready to review your films with you, using manual film viewers to assess their condition for projector viewing there.
