While there are several nitrate film storage facilities on the East Coast, the West Coast has much more limited options. The most recent addition is nearly full. To fill this gap, PRO-TEK Vaults has spent the last 12 months designing a new state-of-the-art nitrate facility. But building a nitrate vault is not for the faint-of-heart. This week’s Screening Room is the third in a series of Conversations on topics important to our community and is open to everyone.

Love fictional archives, especially in movies and video games. They can be so hilarious and, occasionally, insightful. This one is the Armistice Archives in STARFIELD. Enjoy this 90-sec game-play visit to the repository. (Compliments of Bobbie Fox, a colleague and a game connoisseur.) The access provision is curious (certainly not typical): a user is granted access to the storage but only to a pre-authorized section. It’s like the secure-box-in-a-vault arrangement (Gringotts Wizarding Bank or the Da Vinci Code’s vault). The records are technology secrets that require multi-party authorizations.

Part of the IFI Irish Film Archive’s mission is to make the collections we preserve available to those who want to be educated and entertained by them. After all, what’s the point in cataloguing and preserving thousands of films that no one gets to see?
Let's talk about access, baby - archiving Ireland's AV history

A look at the 21st century home from the view of the 1960s. Walter Cronkite narrates and tells us that research shows we'll have a 30 hour work week and month long vacations will be the rule .. see what else the future had in store (and how much has actually happened!)
