Custodial History
The REMC collection was part of Michigan's school media collection. They had regional depositories of 16mm educational film collections for use in public schools. Artist and former Chicagoan Ray Harmon helped shepherd the donation of 16mm films in disuse - REMC sent him thousands of prints. Later on, Jeff Economy temporarily took the films and provided a home for them. When Economy moved to New York, he left his films with Faber and she subsequently donated both collections to Chicago Film Archives in 2005.
