In reply to your sub-thread question.
Here in the UK most old film material, or digital copies of it, taken by ‘the man (or woman) in the street’ that contains records of past local activities is likely to be welcomed by the archivist of the area’s Film and Sound Archives. It is quite possibly so where you are as well.
In fact, some Archives will also digitise film stock accepted into their custody and return a gratuitous DVD copy to the donor.This is also an incentive to the lay person who may otherwise discard the film because they have not got suitable viewing apparatus. But the film content must be of some historical value to the local archives.
