Film Library
KUHT has almost 600 reels of film in its archives (some more than 50 years old), along with 5000 videocasettes, some dating back more than 30 years. However, the archive material is in various states of deterioration, with some film already suffering from vinegar syndrome. In September 2010, the Texas State Library and Archives Commission granted the University of Houston $25,000 for film preservation; however, the funding is only enough to transfer 25 films to digital format, with films related to Texas taking top priority.

“... as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the ideal library is in the wish of its maker.”
