THE REEL THING

in collaboration with FIAF and AMIA

The Reel Thing addresses current thinking and most advanced practical examples of progress in the field of preservation, restoration and media conservation, and creates a common ground for discussion and evaluation of methodologies so that informed decisions can be made about when and how to deploy both traditional and emerging technologies. The Reel Thing has been presented all across the United States, as well as Europe and South America, since its inception in 1994
