[AMIA-L] cleaning 16mm home movies from 1930's

[Williams Cole <kvideo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have found many reels of 16mm Kodak home movie film shot mostly in the
1930's.  It has been stored in a basement for a long time and some of it
looks quite dirty and covered with mildew.  Some of it is also a bit
crinkled and may be a bit stuck together on the reel because of moisture and
decades of non-use.  I want to have it transferred but want to prepare it
the best I can.  What is the best way to clean the reels and prepare them
for transfer?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Williams Cole,
