Academic Projects and Research Work Using the ArchivePast student work that has been done using or researching Scottish Screen Archive collections has included dissertations on the history of a Scottish Film production company, on women film makers and amateur film culture by students from the Theatre, Film and Television Studies department at the University of Glasgow, and on representations of the Gaelic speaking region in Scottish Cinema. PhD’s written using the archive as source material include one from Queen Margaret’s University on the Scottish film industry, one on Scottish cinema history since the 1940’s, and two currently in progress on the evolution of media education and educational films and on the culture of non-fiction amateur cinema. Other student work involving the archive have included students using clips of silent films in the development of music composition projects, student documentary production using archive clips, and undergraduate research into amateur film, war time propaganda, and Scottish social history. An academic researcher on the history of the Film Society Movement is consulting the papers of the Scottish Film Societies, and Scottish Federation of Film Societies, for a forthcoming publication. Scholarly written publications featuring material from the Scottish Screen
Archive collections include a BFI book providing an overview of the history
of Scottish cinema, 'Screening Scotland' by Duncan Petrie who worked with
the archive in the book's development. Academic, Bert Hogenkamp has also
written books on film and the British left featuring material from the
archive, including 'Deadly Parallels: Film and the Left in Britain 1929-39'
and 'Film, Television and the Left 1950 - 1970'. Charles Barr has also
worked with the archive in research for his book on official films from
the Second World War. The publication 'All Pals Together: the Story of
Children's Cinema' (Edinburgh University Press 1997) by Terry Staples,
