I sincerely apologize for the lengthy delay in advocacy.
The National Audiovisual Conservation Center is a part of the Library of Congress and contains much of America's film and radio heritage. Presently, some archival works are restricted from research on the grounds that certain prints are still copyrighted or do not fit into the public domain yet.
This Bill would eliminate those restrictions purely for research purposes. It would also allow the Center to work with private organizations and groups to promote its archives.
