The University Film Collection comprises material, in various hardcopy and digitised formats, covering a wide range of University-related topics including various stages of campus development, building construction and refurbishment; academic business from teaching and research to programme overviews and award ceremonies; sporting achievements and events; and all aspects of student life.
The Collection contains official material documenting formal institutional occasions, such as the installation of the Chancellor in Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Abbey, as well as footage of individuals and groups engaged in less formal activities, such as RAG stunts. Some films represent a final, edited production while others are in an unedited, raw footage form. As a whole the Collection provides a detailed and colourful overview of University history offering a richly versatile resource for both internal and external audiences.
Not all the material in this collection may yet be available for consultation. Please email the University Archivist for further details.
