More about this organization
Mission
The National Film Preservation Foundation was created by the U.S. Congress to help save America's film heritage. It supports nationwide activities that preserve American films and improve film access for study, education, and exhibition, with a top priority of saving orphan films—those not protected by commercial interests and unlikely to survive without public support. Through grant programs, the NFPF has helped numerous archives, historical societies, libraries, museums, and universities across all states preserve American films and make them available to the public.
