FilmCare.org funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, is
a central resource for best practices in film preservation that
provides guidelines for dealing with the preservation of all types
and formats of film materials.  It addresses the requirements for
preserving black-and-white and color film and nitrate, acetate, and
polyester-based film.  It also addresses specific issues for
motion-picture film, sheet film, still roll film, microfilm, and
aerial film, as well as the management of collections containing a
variety of media types (certainly the most common real-life
situations encountered in the field).  This approach focuses
primarily on storage, condition surveys, and the development and
implementation of best-fit environment-based strategies.  Users can
create a free account to evaluate their own collections and get
specific guidance on next steps for best practices for film
preservation.
