In response to recommendations made in a 2007 collections assessment that was funded by the NEH Preservation Assistance Grant, Chicago Film Archives would like to purchase and install horizontal shelving to replace the mostly vertical shelving where the films are presently stored. Shelving priority will be given to the Core Collections that are comprised of films that reflect Midwest culture and history. In addition, CFA would like to purchase a shrinkage gauge for film inspection and a temperature/RH logger with software. |
