Following up on this, I do not believe that the articles Dominic links to mention that the finding aid to the paper archive of Canyon Cinema, 1961?2009, which is now housed at Stanford University, can be browsed, via the Online Archive of California, here:
www.oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt538nf1rj
(Stanford's library website does not, at present, include this complete finding aid. I don't know why.)

I am proud to say that, in the fall of 2009, I was employed by Stanford as a "processing archivist" of this collection and am the creator of this finding aid. As such, I am familar with the content and arrangement of this collection and am pleased to answer any questions about it that potential users (or anyone else) may have.

Sincerely,
Steve Polta

Cinelab just did a best-lite HD transfer of my 16mm workprint.  I've only
ever had SD transfers before and have never seen my film translate to video
so well.  The job was well-done and affordable.  It was my first time
working with Cinelab and based on my experience I would recommend them.
