I just read this over at www.nitrateville.com:
"My one concern is that Universal just laid off their entire preservation unit, so if this (refers to a new restoration of Hunchback of Notre Dame, 1923) wasn't finished at the time, I'm not sure what will become of this or any other projects they were working on. When I visited last year they weren't just doing this. They were doing color correction on SPARTACUS, fixing one of the W.C. Fields pictures, they had a new scan of CAPE FEAR, and they scanned several of my Show-at-Home prints for future restorations (11 WASHINGTON SQUARE was one; I'm blanking on the others right now)."

Googling this subject I find information about NBCUniversal laying off staff, but no specific references to film preservation personnel.
