Foundations Project: A Collaboration Between SAH and the UC Riverside and UC Santa Barbara to Preserve At-Risk 35mm Slide Collections
A survey of at-risk 35mm slide collections of
the built environment in the United States and abroad created from the 1960s to the mid-1990s held
by members and partner institutions of the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH),
along with a pilot project to create a consortium of institutions that would house
the digitized and physical collections; develop guidelines for prioritizing digitization,
long-term storage and disposal; and create a framework for using fellowships and
internships to assist with digitizing the slides and creating finding aids.
This project's first goal is
the identification of at-risk 35mm slide collections focused on the built
environment. Previous investigation through the SAH has recognized the levels
of risk and identified measures to preserve material of high significance. The second goal is ensuring the
documentation, processing, and ultimate widespread sharing of these assets in
recognition of their positive impact on the Humanities.
