The history and conservation group performed a visual inspection only on the film samples used in the accelerated aging trial, and not on the samples that were subjected to other physicochemical tests (described on the following page of this website). The condition of each sample frame was documented on a scoring sheet that we developed.

Finally, the history and conservation group and the chemistry group together developed an extensive list of possible keywords covering a wide range of topics related to the larger goals and research questions of the grant project. Each entry was then tagged with as many of these keywords as was applicable.
