You might try contacting Jake Homiak at the National Museum of Natural History.  The Anthropological Film Archives is quite extensive and has been facing collections management and conservation issues head on for a number of years.

Subject:        moving image collections

I am a Museum Studies graduate student at JFK University.  I am researching
museums with film and video in their collections.  I would appreciate an
answer to the following four questions concerning the care of moving
image formats:

1) Do you have film or video formats in your collection? If not, do you know
   of a museum that does?

2) How did the films come into the museum's possession?

3) What issues about your film or video collections most concern you:
   Storage, Maintenance, Copying, Catalogueing, Preservation, Copyright.

4) What information would help you better care for your moving image
   collections?
