Preserving Memories on Film

Historic home movies from the collections of the Library of Congress and screenings of films brought by the public will be featured at the fourth annual Washington Home Movie Day (www.homemovieday.com).

Press release for the August 12 event from Managing Information, and here is a list of locations and organizations.
