A decades-long search, but it was in a museum? I guess museums have a lot of stuff they don’t know they necessarily have and there isn’t a google for museum storage rooms, but it’s not like it was at risk of being lost or was in some rando’s attic. Perhaps a more interesting question is why the museum that had it wasn’t showing it. That’s very very early for film footage so it’s of substantial historical interest regardless of it being about New Orleans.
