Apologies for cross posting
Newsfilm Online is planned to be one of the most exciting resources to be
offered to Higher and Further Education in the UK. 3,000 hours of
television news and cinema newsreels, taken from the huge collection of
the ITN/Reuters archive, is to be made available online in high quality
format for teaching, learning and research. Newsfilm Online will be a
gateway of unmatched richness to nearly one hundred years of news, from
the 1910s to the present day.
A demonstrator website is available at:
www.bufvc.ac.uk/newsfilmonline
Newsfilm Online's Education and Outreach Officer James Taylor is currently
planning the next set of presentations of the resource to UK Higher and
Further Education.
These presentations offer an exciting opportunity to learn more about the
resource, the type and range of content being made available, to ask
questions and to contribute to the resource's development with your own
suggestions.
If you work in a UK HE or FE institution that Newsfilm Online has not yet
visited and would be interested in arranging a presentation at your
