The Morgue is a short documentary—an orphan story, a detective story and a call to action—about the fate of U.S. newspaper photo archives, repositories of collective memory of our cities. The film explores the significance, loss, and potential recovery of one newspaper photo archive, the 120,000 surviving photos collected by The Trenton Times in New Jersey. There are forty more such archives that could be saved.
