요약The writing of history is possible because museums, libraries, and individuals maintain objects from the past. For film history, this task was primarily the purview of the major archives that preserved evolving notions of national cinematic patrimony. However, there was a community of enthusiasts collecting rare film prints alongside, and even before, the institutions better known for saving movies. These collectors rescued hundreds of titles that would have otherwise been lost by copying films and trading them with each other. Many collectors regularly projected prints for a wide variety of audiences, thus providing access to rare films in the decades before home video.This dissertation is a history of the archival labor of these private film collectors. It engages with scholarship from archival studies and media history to analyze these unofficial archivists. I present this case study on an informal network of preservationist-collectors as a historical precedent for research into current examples of amateur and community archiving, and to expand upon scholarship on the circulation and reception of film prints beyond theatrical spaces. My dual status as a professional archivist and media scholar informs this dissertation's methodological approach in a manner that combines praxis and historical analysis.Film preservation developed out of the competing and interconnected efforts of institutional archives and this group of private film collectors. However, these collectors were not formally trained as archivists. To analyze the work of this preservation community requires a reconsideration of the founding precepts of archiving including terms like original order and provenance. Each chapter studies a different aspect of collectors' practice of preservation including how they appraised titles for acquisition, their unique approaches to film restoration, why they viewed access to their collections as a community good and opportunity for profit, and the ways that institutional archives have reset the meanings of private collections after acquiring them.While the specific findings of this dissertation are most immediately relevant to the fields of media studies and archival science, it participates in the larger question of who gets to control the narrative of, and engagement with, cultural heritage.
