Culpeper Library of Congress

The Library of Congress - Packard Campus for Audio - Visual Conservation opened to the public this week. This is one of the few places in the world where being a Negative Expert is a good thing. Touring the facility is like being able to walk through time. It is fascinating to see how the films that frame the legacy of our recent American History are preserved. The Theater is said to have the best projectors / projected images available. Movies are shown to the public in a retro state of the art theatre on a regular basis - follow the link for more information http://www.loc.gov/avconservation/mtponytheater/index.html . We are proud to have this addition to our community. Thank you to the Packard Foundation, The Library of Congress, and to all who worked to bring this treasure to Culpeper, Virginia.
