Students, scholars, and archivists now spend a majority of their time working from home and have limited opportunities to acquire in-person hands-on knowledge and brush up on new skills due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. During this time, free online resources remain fundamental to archival scholarship and the furthering of film and celluloid-related knowledge and practices. This panel, presented by the AMIA Small Gauge and Amateur Film Committee, will (re)highlight the importance of three different small gauge and amateur film online resources: Film Forever: The Home Film Preservation Guide, the Amateur Movie Database, and the Horizontal Boundaries Film Stock Database. Panelists will discuss their resource’s formation and creation, recent work, and their contributions to celluloid scholarship and preservation.
