If anyone is willing to do the legwork, I would certainly support a kickstarter for more Meighan.
The IMDb listing for CANAAN says "Considered to be lost until 2010. A print was found in Gosfilmofond, the Russian state film archive and a digital copy was presented to the Library of Congress on 20 Oct 2010."
FYI the "digital copies" that LoC got in that acquisition are
DVDs, and not 2K or HD full-res files. Unless I'm remembering incorrectly those DVD's are for reference viewing...but you should double-check. The films may or may not have (Russian) flash-titles.
