The first great era of film preservation involved duplication of physical materials that were often the property of the archives and frequently the films being preserved were in the public domain, such as silent films, whose copyright had expired.
We have a film library and study center which is open to the public and is used extensively also by the students and faculty of the University of California.
Those films hold up very well and on a comparative basis, if you went down through all the physical characteristics the films are put through, there is no doubt that polyester based material is far superior to both nitrate and safety triacetate films in its characteristics and in its expected longevity.
