Screen Archive South East

Screen Archive South East is a member of the Film Archive Forum, one of the organisations behind the UK Screen Heritage Network. It is the public sector moving image archive for the South East. Established in 1992 at the University of Brighton as the South East Film & Video Archive, the function of this regional screen archive is to locate, collect, preserve, provide access to and promote screen material related to the South East and of general relevance to screen history. It collects magic lantern slides, film, videotape and digital formats and associated screen hardware and documentation. For the Screen Heritage survey, it has conducted a metadata comparsion exercise, to ensure that the records of collections being investigated will harmonise with MLA standards and the BUFVC’s Researcher’s Guide Online database, which will be the ultimate home of the survey data.
