Scottish Screen Archive is working collaboratively with Edinburgh College of Art toward the publication of a volume, and creation of an online database, of sources for the study of Scottish cinema 1938-1993. The archive has also for the past few years worked with both Strathclyde and Glasgow universities in giving talks to students on the archive and its potential for research for dissertation topics etc. The archive has used these talks to encourage media students in particular to consider film outside the Hollywood cinema tradition.

The Margaret Tait project, in collaboration with Lux artists film and video centre has seen the preservation of the entire surviving oeuvre of Tait, film poet, artist and writer. Access copies on videoformat are available from SSA, a touring programme can be booked through Lux.
