Have there been any preservation projects of the Super 8 prints of ANH?

I have come across someone on another board who has a Super 8 print of A New Hope. Link to original thread at StarDestroyer.Net.

My uncle’s father used to run a hotel that had old Super 8 movies, one day he was throwing out some old stuff of his and my aunt rescued a copy of Star Wars in the old Super 8 format. Film is in excellent condition and the box is in great shape also. I can’t find out much about what it is worth value wise but since I don’t plan on selling it it is a moot point. My brother was given the copy of the original Godzilla movie.</div>

I think it could be worth it to preserve these prints. If the print is in as good a condition as the OP says it is, we may have some high quality reference frames for other OoT projects.
