SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
A review of management and preservation practices for animation cels in archives, libraries, and museums shows a lack of information dissemination of this media among the information memory field. A survey was conducted of 15 repositories along with interviews and site visits to determine what practices were being utilized by professionals. The results show that studio archives have not maintained care of their animation cels, while museums and special libraries have provided better stewardship. The results and recommendations are available to be used as an aid for repository personnel to preserve and manage their animation cel collection.
