Thank you for taking part in the NEH-SAH Preservation Consortium survey. We expect the following questions should take no more than 3 minutes to complete.

This NEH-funded study is an extension of the Color Film Emergency Project (CFEP), developed in 2013 with the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH). The CFEP emerged from the realization that numerous, valuable 35mm slide collections created and amassed by 20th century scholars, preservationists, design practitioners and photographers of the built environment are threatened with loss, destruction, and environmental damage. Some of the factors threatening these collections are the obsolescence of the medium for teaching; the advancing age, and retirement, of the creators; and lack of appropriate archival storage. The SAH, through the Color Film Emergency Project, recognizes the importance of this part of 20th century intellectual history and documentation, and aims to facilitate its preservation, digitization, and access.

The present aims of this project are: 1) Identification and evaluation of at-risk 35 mm slide collections, and 2) Development of a consortium of institutional partners. This survey is the first step in developing this consortium.

Participation can result in multiple benefits to you, your institution, your students, your stakeholders, and your audience,

Thank you again for your interest and time,
Jackie Spafford (spafford@ucsb.edu) and Sonja Sekely-Rowland (sonja.sekely@ucr.edu)
