Film preservation is the practice of preventing the deterioration and loss of film materials, both physical and digital, in order to ensure the long-term survival of important cultural and historical artifacts. This includes activities such as film inspection, repair, restoration, and digitization, as well as storage in appropriate environmental conditions to prevent damage from factors such as temperature, humidity, and light. Film preservation is important in order to maintain the integrity of films for future generations, and to ensure that they can be accessed and appreciated by audiences for years to come.
