Tom Carroll stopped by the Packard Humanities Institute Stoa, located in Santa Clarita, to chat with the director of the archive, May Hong HaDuong, to see what it takes to preserve and showcase celluloid history. If you want to know more, you can check out http://cinema.ucla.edu or visit http://youtube.com/UCLAFTVArchive, or see a free screening at the Billy Wilder Theater in Westwood, which screens items from their archives.
