The Archives operate from two bases, both with specialist vaults facilities and expertise to ensure the highest standards of care for our collections. The Yorkshire Film Archive is based in York, the North East Film Archive is based in Middlesbrough.
Our staff team work across all the collections, bringing a wealth of archival expertise, curatorship, regional knowledge and a passion for sharing our collections, so whether you are a production company looking to licence amazing content, a local interest group wanting to find out about our film show programmes, or you have a film collection you’d like us to advise on – we’re here to help.
Most importantly of all, we want to you to be able to access, use and share our collections. We have a range of access services for both public programmes and commercial licencing, as well as hundred of hours of content free to view here on our website. Enjoy our collections, and we will keep working hard to collect, protect and preserve even more of these amazing moving images.
As an Archive our work is never done. We are actively collecting material, whether it is a collection of film found in an attic or company storeroom, or whether it is material shot by people filming today, we’d love to hear from you. We can advise on care of collections, and on how you can help by depositing collections that help to build our regions’ moving image heritage – please do get in touch.
