New Federated Search Tool Provides Access to Records From the Online Catalogues of Ten UK Film Archives

From a British Universities Film & Video Council Blog Post:

The data from some of the major national and regional film archives in the UK can now be searched through an integrated engine currently in beta test phase under the name Your Film Archives.

Funded by DCMS, it includes content from Amber Films, BFI National Archive, East Anglian Film Archive, Northern Region Film and Television Archive, North West Film Archive, Screen Archive South East, Wessex Film and Sound Archive and the Yorkshire Film Archive.

Direct to the Your Film Archives Search Interface

This search consists solely of data records, however, where a film is available to view online we have supplied a link.

Due to its fragility, rights restrictions, and high cost of preservation and digitisation, the majority of this material is not available to view. However, if you are interested in a particular film please contact the source archive and they will advise on whether a viewing copy is available.
