please be more specific. 

 is it worth taking to a preservationist the aforementioned 16mm trailer of 'raiders of the lost ark'.

 

or is it something that is not needed, and then i can scan it, convert to video, etc, without

worrying about messing up something historical..

This is a 16mm cinemascope film clip from the film, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981), which fills up a 400 foot reel. The footage is from the end of the film, beginning with Indy and Marion tied up and the Ark about to be unopened. The clip runs through the end credits – so, yes, it has the melting faces. The footage is a scope dupe, apparently taken from two different prints. The first part is nice color, with rich blue tones. This footage lasts until the Ark ghosties appear and begin to get nasty. The last part appears to be Eastmancolor, with the expected reds apparent. It is otherwise in nice shape.

Please note that the photos shown are taken without the anamorphic scope lens, so the images are squeezed.
