A couple years ago I picked up the excellent Essanay and Mutual collections from Flicker Alley. I also started searching for an affordable copy of their seemingly out-of-print Keystone collection at that time but gave up; however I have just started looking again (the Essanay/Mutual titles are on BD while the Keystone set is DVD only).
So I'm lacking the Keystone shorts but more importantly, I have not found any evidence that his later First National shorts have been given any serious attention. Most of the information that I have read has been from ednapurviance.org however much of their content is now pretty dated. His features are of course pretty well represented by Criterion.
I've held off on risking purchasing any of the public domain stuff that seems to be available everywhere, since the Flicker Alley content was so good.
Does anyone have any insight? There's quite a bit of Chaplin's body of work that I still haven't seen.
