The North West Film Archive (NWFA) is the professionally recognised public home for the moving image heritage of the North West of England. Set up in 1977, the NWFA currently holds over 30,000 reels of film and videotape, and grows annually. The collection includes cinema newsreels, documentaries, educational films, travelogues, advertising and promotional material, corporate videos and regional television programmes - alongside hundreds of films shot by local families and enthusiasts. The North West is vividly captured in both professional and amateur footage - a powerful record of modern urban society in moving pictures. Academic research and reference access to the collection (by appointment) is free to staff and students at UK Further and Higher education institution, video loans can sometimes be arranged (charges may apply). Please contact the North West Film Archive as early as possible with your requirements. Best regards The NWFA and Artifact
