From Studio Daily magazine... a post-NAB yack-fest focused on digital storage and archiving.

Spooky line (among many): 

"...shooting with the RED or shooting with the Varicam or whatever, shooting with data-based acquisition formats... and because nobody has figured out archiving, there's a whole generation of filmmaking that's just gonna be lost."

I officially started my career in media by running the projector in Miss McDougall's fourth grade class, and carried on as an A/V geek all through high school (Mr. Guptill's 3/4" videotape player) and college (antique carbon-arc projector in Durango, 16 and 35 mm in Boulder).   I can't begin to tell you how happy these guys make me:

For more than a decade, we’ve been rescuing old 16mm school films from dumpsters and obscurity and showing them to folks like you.

They claim 22,000 films, with such  fascinating titles as:

Body Care and Grooming (1948)

Explosives - Tool for Progress (ca 1970s)

Kingdom of Plastics (1945)

Good Table Manners (1951)

...just to name a few.  And then there's Journalism (1940)... check 'em out.
