Re: [AMIA-L] Zimbabwe Footage

[Richard Wright-ARCHIVES <richard.wright@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ishumael -- Very good to hear from you and I'm sure all on the AMIA list
wish you well. 
 
I've checked BBC TV/film holdings and really we start post 1945.  We
have some interesting footage from the 1950s, but not earlier.  We have
5 radio archive items from 1934 to 1940.  I'll happily send full details
if you wish, or you can now access the BBC catalogue (but not the
content) online: http://open.bbc.co.uk/catalogue/infax/ (though at
present this has limited search functionality)
 
In the UK, a major source of film footage pre 1940 would be cinema
newsreels.  The Br University Film and Video Council has collected data
on a great deal of that material, available on their website:
http://www.bufvc.ac.uk/databases/newsreels/index.html
 
Our 6 early radio items (all very pro-empire!):
  
1.  RHODESIAN BOYS ARE HAPPY 	28/08/1940 	
2.  REINFORCEMENTS FOR ARMY OF MIDDLE EAST   	30/04/1940 	
3.  EMPIRE'S HOMAGE  	12/05/1937
4.  THE EMPIRE'S TRIBUTE   06/05/1935   
5.  EMPIRE EXCHANGE  25SX0776  25/12/1934   
 
	
Regards, Richard
