Journal of Film Preservation


The Journal of Film Preservation is a journal published twice a year by FIAF, the International Federation of Film Archives.

History and profile

The journal was founded in 1972. It was published under the title of FIAF Information Bulletin from 1972 to 1993. Initially a newsletter for affiliates of FIAF, it has become over the years a more scholarly magazine, offering a forum for both general and specialised discussions on all theoretical, technical and historical aspects of moving image archival activities around the world. It is a trilingual journal – articles are written in English, French or Spanish, and include summaries in the other two languages. A new design, combined with a more modern editorial content was launched in April 2012 with issue #86. Its current editor is Elaine Burrows.
