Trims are larger rolls apparently assembled from footage initially included, then trimmed from the final episode cuts.
See subseries 3.1, Removals cards, for an inventory of the footage (delineated by first and last latent key number) removed from trim rolls to be used in final cuts of episodes.
Arranged alphabetically by subject. Item numbers refer to cans, which hold 2 rolls of film each.

Scope and Contents:
This series consists of original, unedited film and sound materials from the Millennium film project, 1989-1991 and undated. It contains original color negative film, much of which did not make the final edited episode cuts, and 1/4 inch audio tapes of original field sound and translations. Subject labels indicate tribal groups, individuals, or recording locations, and span the globe. Note that footage of a subject may have appeared in multiple episodes and thus cannot be keyed to a specific title; see episode list at beginning of finding aid for final episode content.
Original film materials within the Millennium collection comprise just over 1300 rolls of silent camera original rolls. Rolls are of two types: outtakes (1253 rolls, 400 feet or less each), and trims (65 rolls, 1000 feet each). These materials do not appear in the final cuts of the program. Film rolls have been rehoused into archival cans of 2-12 rolls each.
Note that as these rolls are camera original film, they are printed with "latent key numbers" along the edge of the film, or codes that advance sequentially through the roll. Each roll is associated with a unique range of latent key numbers, allowing researchers to trace camera original film through the editing process and narrow down filming order. Sequences removed from trims and outtakes for use in final episode cuts are also associated with these latent key number ranges. The National Anthropological Film Collection holds searchable lists of the collection's latent key numbers; contact the NAFC for more detail. Also see subseries 3.1. Removals cards, for the latent key number ranges of sequences removed from outtake and trim rolls during the editing process.
Original sound recordings are largely 1/4 inch audio tape with sync pulses, and comprises field sound and translations, as well as some apparent David Maybury-Lewis narration. These recordings' inclusion in final program edits is undetermined. Sound recordings are minimally processed as of July 2017; contact the NAFC for more information.
This series is arranged in 3 subseries: 2.1 Outtakes, 1989-1991, undated; 2.2 Trims, 1989-1991, undated; 2.3 Sound recordings, 1989-1991, undated.
