[i]In May of last year, [director Todd] Miller received a startling e-mail from [National Archives supervisory archivist Dan] Rooney. "I was used to the way in which archivists and librarians communicate, which is typically very monotone, very even keel," Miller said. "But I get this e-mail from Dan, and it's just insanely long and full of exclamation points and bolded words." Rooney's staff had located a cache of largely unprocessed film that he identified as the "65mm Panavision collection." (In this format, the negative is shot on 65-mm. film and then printed as a 70-mm. positive.) "The collection consists of approximately 165 source reels of materials, covering Apollo 8 through Apollo 13," Rooney wrote. "Thus far, we have definitively identified 61 of those 165 that relate directly to the Apollo 11 mission, including astronaut mission preparations, launch, recovery, and astronaut engagement and tours after the mission."[/i]
