These Toronto archivists are preserving rare and classic films for generations to come: β€˜Why do all the work if nobody gets to see it?’ Christina Stewart and Rachel Beattie help maintain the University of Toronto's film library. The school's Pop-Up Cinematheque will be screening a 16-mm print of 'Singin' in the Rain' on Jan.

Terrific article highlighting the fantastic work of our colleagues at the Film Library and Media Archives at the University of Toronto to preserve film and media history! www.thestar.com/entertainmen...
