Behind the Scenes: Student work on the Wayne Morse film collection

“I am a delicate ribbon of film – misuse me and I disappoint thousands; cherish me, and I delight and instruct the world.”

Do you ever wonder what it might be like to work on one of our amazing collections? The UO Special Collections and University Archives is very lucky to have amazing student workers who have the opportunity to process some very interesting collections.  Over the past year Kit Becker worked diligently on the processing and preservation of the Wayne Morse film collection. In this video below she sits down with UO Libraries to discuss her position in the department as a film conservation and preservation technician.

In a second video Kit provides details about the step-by-step film preservation process.

Everyone at SCUA extends a huge thanks to Kit for her amazing work and dedication to the collection!!
