1939 Kalee No. 12 35mm projector (BUFVC)
The British Universities Film & Video Council (BUFVC) is a founder member of the UK Screen Heritage Network, and is one of the three organisations behind the survey of moving image artefacts. It is managing the collating of information and it will eventually host the screen heritage data as part of its Researcher’s Guide Online database. This is a directory of film, television, radio and related documentation collections in the UK, and the augmented resource will become a key national directory for the history and preservation of moving image and related media in the UK.
The BUFVC has its own collections of artefacts. Among its special collections are the papers of the British Movietone and British Pathe newsreels, the personal papers of several newsreel cameramen and editors, a complete set of press releases for Channel 4 1982-2002, and the papers of the Scientific Film Association. It also has a small collection of historic film and video equipment, and displays a 1939 Kalee No. 12 35mm projector in its front window, lent by another Network member, the Projected Picture Trust.
