A silent film from 1915, titled 'The Heart of Lincoln,' was found on Long Island by intern Dan Martin while working at the Historic Films Archive. Initially thought to be a mundane educational film, Martin recognized it after viewing due to its connection to director Francis Ford. The film had been deemed lost by the Library of Congress until this discovery. Archive manager Joe Lauro digitized it and plans to donate it to the Library, marking a significant preservation achievement for both Martin and film history.
