MOTION PICTURES 



John Moyer, who has charge of the Division of Motion Pictures, 

 assisted notably in the production of "shorts" required by the 

 educational program of the Museum and in the editing and care of 

 the Museum's specialized collection of educational films and was 

 also, as a lecturer, of considerable importance in the Museum's 

 public-relations program. Much of the year was devoted to a 

 general check of all Museum films on file, which involves physical 

 inspection, repair, and cleaning of each foot of film in the Film 

 Library as well as re-editing and reclassifying by subject. All 35mm 

 films, both negatives and prints, have now been removed, and 

 material of value in those films was reduced to 16mm. Films on 

 loan not needed were returned to their owners. Our Film Library 

 now has ninety-six productions. Photography of the techniques 

 involved in assembling the Gorgosaurus and Lambeosaurus skeletons 

 and placing them on exhibition (see page 24) was completed. Several 

 inquiries were received for a television program in which the Mu- 

 seum would take part, and work in this connection was undertaken. 



"Toucans" is part of the newest section of the synoptic series of exhibits that will 

 illustrate the birds of the world by selected examples (Boardman Conover Hall).
