There are few cultural heritage institutions with comprehensive film preservation programs with in-house laboratory services. However, the Motion Picture Preservation Lab solicited informal feedback and general workflow and process outlines from several organizations with similar goals, including:
Smithsonian Human Studies Film Archives
George Eastman Museum
UCLA Film and Television Archives
Academy Film Archive
Library of Congress Film Preservation Laboratory
Like NARA, these organizations use a combination of in-house and vendor services to meet their needs.
