Except Your Government insists on putting all their archival material on
microfilm, even alongside the digital archives, and archival preservation of
their paper.
Your Government also is the world's largest user of vacuum tubes.

Here is a thoughtful post...
"In a recent conversation with one of the scientists/archivists at the
Getty museum in Los Angeles we discussed the future of color film. We
agreed that what keeps color film alive is the motion picture film
industry and once that industry moves over largely to digital capture and
even more importantly, digital projection there will not be enough demand
for color film for anyone to continue to produce it profitably and it
will disappear. Regardless of it's attributes or the demand by prominent
film makers and photographers no one will any longer be able to afford to
produce it.
The still film market is minuscule when compared to the motion picture
market and any innovations you are seeing are motivated by motion picture
sales and not still film. Unlike B&W film, there is a huge amount of
technology involved in the production of color film and because of this I
believe it will likely disappear completely in the next 5 to 10 years."
