film archive
Celluloid preservation facility
A film archive is an institution that collects, preserves, and maintains motion pictures and related materials.
Archives protect films from deterioration and make them available for research, restoration, and public screenings.
The term also refers to the collection itself: The studio donated its silent films to the national film archive.
Major archives preserve everything from Hollywood classics to newsreels and home movies.
