Restoration work was carried out at Lobster Films in 2014.
The Rink (1916) has been restored by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna and Lobster Films, from a diacetate fine grain preserved at the Library of Congress, a safety dupe positive preserved at the British Film Institute, and a nitrate print preserved at the Archives Françaises du film (CNC).
Some fragments were added from a nitrate print preserved at the British Film Institute.
Intertitles have been reconstructed according to the original Mutual Film intertitles from the same age, and documents of the Library of Congress.
The surviving elements come from two different negatives. Negative A was restored whenever possible, while negative B was used to reconstruct missing or severely damaged shots.
