For us, the value of these milestones is not merely in visibility, but in preservation. Each time a film enters a university library, appears in a classroom, or finds a digital home on platforms like Alexander Street, we are helping to ensure long life to the subject—in this case, one of America’s most important sculptors. It is about more than producing testimony. It is about sustaining it—embedding these cultural narratives into the evolving archive of knowledge that future generations will rely on.

We invite educators, researchers, and art enthusiasts to explore the film, now available to institutions globally, and to help carry forward the legacy of Daniel Chester French.
