Hidden gems from tale of the century
Daniel Griffin opens up the news vaults and finds a pleasure palace of rare and unique film
' website review
News Film Online is the latest educational resource to bloom from the JISC digitisation programme. It is the result of a collaboration between JISC, ITN Source, British Universities Film and Video Council and EDINA.
The online news archive service offers more than 3,000 hours of news footage and archive film reels. The material runs from the 1910 funeral of Edward VII right up to reports of the 2007 racist bullying on reality TV show Big Brother.
Despite JISC spending [pounds sterling]2m on the project, the news material it makes available to scholars is only a fraction of what ITN Source actually holds. And much of the footage seems to be of the more obscure episodes of recent history, although this has its own charm and value. For researchers looking for rare and unique material, it makes News Film Online all the more valuable. What's more, it is free to academic institutions until 2012.
