The Archive

The Northern Region Film and Television Archive was created in 1998. Its aims are to develop, preserve and provide access to collections of moving images (as recorded on film, videotape and digital formats) either made in, or relating to the Northern Region of England. The archive collects audio-visual media on all aspects of life and work in the areas of Teesside, Tyne and Wear, Cumbria, County Durham and Northumbria and its offices and collections are based at the University of Teesside in Middlesborough and at Tyne and Wear Archives Service (TWAS) in Newcastle. A new purpose-built conservation centre is currently being commissioned at Teesside, and eventually it is hoped to move the entire collection into this facility. Viewing will still be available at TWAS.
