Well the one I know of near me in Kansas has an article about it.[0] This one is in a salt mine as the salt helps keep the moisture out of the air. I could definitely imagine a recurring multi year lease expense like this being a blip on the radar for movie studios, so these things are mostly forgotten.
If a movie studio goes out of business though, who know what happens to these films? I’d imagine that’s how movies get “lost”.

Different salts and brine solutions can be used to either pull moisture from the air, or to maintain a higher humidity. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/salt-humidity-d_1887.html https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/salt-humidity-d_1887.html
- lemonberry 3y agoThis is what I love about HN. A post on silent films leads to a really interesting comment like this. I really appreciate how generous everyone here is with their knowledge and that HN exists at all. Many thanks to everyone that keeps the conversation going.
