A great listing of film supply sources was published to the AMIA List in February, 2006, by Alain LeTourneau.

Henry Wilhelm’s Wilhelm Imaging Research site also has his landmark 1993 book The Permanence and Care of Color Photographs: Traditional and Digital Color Prints, Color Negatives, Slides, and Motion Pictures available as an 80 MB PDF. I’ve had the book since it first came out.

The Image Permanence Institute provides resources and information about film preservation.
