Delving into the archives

A fascinating project at the North West Film Archive is the reason that we are able to show old reports and segments of our programme on this website. Read on to find out more about how the archive makes it all possible.

The archive, based at Manchester Metropolitan University, gives access to incredible footage showing how life in the North West has changed over time.

Work on the North West Film Archive's three-year project to provide access to a collection of BBC regional news and documentary footage shot between 1962 and 1986 began in April 2005.

The collection comprises of 9,763 cans of film that are immediately related to the evening news programme on the BBC in the North West. These span the years from 1973 to 1986 inclusive and cover some 3,000 dates and over 15,000 separate stories.
