Treasures from American Film Archives

The National Film Preservation Foundation publishes DVD sets and books that promote the preservation of American film. For more than a decade, the NFPF’s award-wining Treasures from American Film Archives series has released superb examples of archival preservation work on quality video. Created in collaboration with archives, scholars, and musicians, the sets present long unseen American films with new musical accompaniment, onscreen program notes, and printed catalog. The series has given new life to culturally significant films that, for one reason or another, had dropped from public memory. Five sets are in print and one more is on the way.
