Scarecrow Video holds the largest publicly available video collection in the US. Their vast foreign film section includes many irreplaceable films from less established movie industries, making it a high priority for assessment in order to care for and protect these films. This project involved an audit of about 40% of their African film section, resulting in a list of films to be added to Scarecrow’s Rental by Agreement (RBA) program, as well as the identification of possible orphan works for future digitization, and guidance for further assessment and protection of this collection.
