A paper print pre-history.

The article provides information on the Paper Print Collection which has come from the articles and books of Kemp R. Niver. The collection is one of the longest running preservation projects in archival history and the beginnings of the restoration effort were the impetus leading to the founding of the Library of Congress Motion Picture Division. Today, the Library Congress Motion Picture Conservation Center is working to transfer the material to 35 millimeter film with the sharpest definition that today's technology allows.
