Re: [ARSCLIST] PVC film

[Brandon Burke <burke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Motion picture film? Try checking out the Film Preservation Guide.
The "Understanding Film and How It Decays" section includes a few
pages on recognizing varying film stocks (nitrate, poly, etc.).

Hope that helps..

best,
Brandon.
