| I'm going to assume that the photo that accompanies the linked article is a stock photo rather than one taken at the Lincoln Center Archives. Films stored as haphazardly as they are in that photograph would deteriorate quite rapidly. Broadway World should have given this a little more thought before publishing because I know for a fact that the Lincoln Center Archives give their treasures on film a great deal of care to preserve them. | |

| I work at the Performing Arts Library, specifically with the TOFT archive. Thanks for pointing this out -- yes, that's a stock photo. The actual TOFT vault looks nothing like that, and I can promise you there is no film dangling from metal cans! | |

| Has something changed about what's required in order to watch a video, as some in this thread thought? Thank you. | |

| Yes, and it's a recent change. If the researcher holds a valid, up-to-date New York Public Library card, we no longer ask about the specific research purpose for viewing a video. (Needless to add, this doesn't apply now that the building is closed to the public, but this change was made shortly before the shutdown.) The unions agreed to it, so that rule has been relaxed. However, some videos are still restricted and need permission in advance prior to viewing, and those restrictions still apply. | |

| "Yes, that's a stock photo. The actual TOFT vault looks nothing like that, and I can promise you there is no film dangling from metal cans!" So I assumed, as well. They REALLY shouldn't have used that photo with the article. |

| Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the monitors on which these treasures are watched. I've heard on this forum that there is an attempt to get funding to replace them, but as of now, they're about the quality of watching VHS on a TV in the 1990s. | |
