The wanton destruction of projectors and other related professional film equipment prompted a few like-minded preservationists to form The Projected Picture Trust whose proposals were not only to locate the equipment being destroyed, but to renovate it, preserve it and exhibit it for the enjoyment of the public at large. In other words, these people wanted to PRESERVE THE MAGIC OF CINEMA.

What people say:

This is a fabulous organisation that look after, restore, document, display and educate people about, all the wonderful items of projection technology/equipment/manuals/photos etc. Professional and amateur equipment is equally relished.
