RichardB Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Found this claiming there is some film footage, wouldn't that be great to see !!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The regional archives The regional film archives actively search for, acquire, and then provide access to film and video material specifically relevant to their regions. Almost all of the collections are non-fiction (feature films being the remit of the BFI ), and they vary in size from one individual film to a collection of hundreds of titles. The films are often acquired because of their local interest, but in many instances these collections are much more significant – and of national and international importance. For example: one single reel of nitrate film was deposited with the Yorkshire Film Archive, by a member of the public who had been to an archive screening. The film shows unique moving images of Queen Victoria when she visited Sheffield to open the new Sheffield Town Hall on 21st May, 1897. A film found and made accessible through regional activity, but of national importance. http://www.culture.gov.uk/Reference_librar.../dcms122_07.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
