The North West Film Archive is interested in acquiring film or video footage featuring people, places, events and activities in Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire, Merseyside and Cumbria. The Archive collects material on any subject illustrating life in the region - this could be newsreel from the 1920s, home movies of local events in the 1960s or a corporate video from the 1990s. Footage reflecting the cultural diversity of the region is a particular priority , as are other examples of less common footage including political activity, everyday domestic interiors, and rural life. Once inspected by specialised staff and acquired by the Archive, all material is stored in our world class temperature and humidity-controlled vaults ensuring its preservation for future generations. In return, the Archive is able to provide donors with a DVD copy, free of charge. Copyright remains with original copyright holder (who is not necessarily the donor) and is not transferred to the Archive, unless under special circumstances. If you have film or video material that you would like to donate, or if you would like to discuss whether your films would be of interest to the North West Film Archive, please contact our Acquisition and Documentation Officer by clicking here, or via our Comments and Enquiries facility. We will respond to enquiries as soon as possible, but as we are always very busy this may take seven to ten working days – your patience is appreciated.
