Does this mean somebody has taken the photos and transferred them to tape, and that is what we're seeing here?
More accurately: Photograph -> Videotape -> Edited Videotape -> Laserdisc
If this _was_ done for archival purposes, what is the likelihood of the original negatives still surviving?
I'm not sure. I hope they do! 35mm resolves to much greater than HD even on cheap/common film stock.
At which stage was the text box added in?
Definitely once the footage was on videotape and before being stored on a second "edited" videotape since the box is partially distorted in the image I linked to above.
I remember watching a video by Techmoan or Technology Connections or LGR about a system that stored images as video frames on a video disc.
There seems to be no motion blur on that image (from shooting with portable video camera from a moving car), so maybe part of this archive was shot with said technology.

Speaking as somebody who knows nothing about this tech, I'm curious as to the significance of this!
