Hello!
I am a student archivist at a university in Canada, in charge of our 16mm collection. I am currently re-organizing our small storage, and found a copy of ESB in unmarked cans on 16mm polyester film.
They were sold to someone, from a Steve Pilant in South Carolina for 100$ at the time. They have Columbia Pictures reels, and the seller notes the detail on R2’s dome, and how Laser Discs don’t show that detail.
My questions are: approx what time do you think these were sold? How rare are they, so I can determine what level of preservation to give to them. Should we be screening it, or should it be “put in a glass case” as it were. And any other information you can give. This is the best find in our collection, and I’m so excited by it!
Thanks!
