- Description
- Solicitation Recording Preservation Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-474); the legislation was reauthorized in 2016 (PL114-217). The U.S. Congress created the National Film Preservation Board through the National Film Preservation Act of 1988 (PL100-446); Congress most recently reauthorized the National Film Preservation Board in 2016 (PL114-217). As part of Public Law 114-217, the United States Congress has mandated that the Library of Congress (Library): 1) "implement a comprehensive national recording preservation program" and 2) "carry out the comprehensive national film preservation program for motion pictures established under the National Film Preservation Act" and "review the comprehensive national film preservation plan, and amend it to the extent necessary." Funding for these tasks is being provided by National Recording Preservation Board and National Film Preservation Board. The resulting contract shall fulfill the above Congressional mandates by implementing selected recommendations found in the National Recorded Sound Preservation Plan and the National Film Preservation Plan. The National Recorded Sound Preservation Plan published in February 2013 contains 32 recommendations (comprised of 84 separate action items) to implement, many of which are lengthy, time-consuming projects. The National Film Preservation Plan was published in 1994 and while much of that publication remains timely, portions need updating in response to technological and other changes since then. Additional related studies published by the Library--such as the December 2013 Survival of American Silent Feature Films: 1912-29--added additional recommendations and action items. These Congressionally-mandated efforts far exceed the capacity of Library staff. The resulting contract will enable a contractor to perform the work promptly and effectively in order to fulfill the two Congressional mandates: to implement the National Recording Preservation Plan and to continue implementation and updates to the National Film Preservation Plan, as required. The resulting contract will also greatly assist the mission of the Library's Packard Campus to preserve our recorded sound and moving image heritage for future generations. The resulting contract shall support six separate tasks: 1) National Recording Registry Radio Programs, 2) Traveling Archivists/Experts Program, 3) Report on Fostering Increased Diversity in the Audio-Visual Preservation Community, (4) Digital Restoration of the National Film Registry title, "Jazz on a Summer's Day, " 5) Enhancements to the Discography of American Historical Recordings, and 6) Photochemical Conservation of the National Film Registry title, "Memento". The resulting contract will assist the mission of the Library's National Film and Recording Preservation Boards to preserve our recording sound and film/moving image heritage for future generations.
