Introducing BFI replay!

Would you like access to a range of TV soaps, documentaries from the 1930s to 1960s and multicultural TV from the 1970s onwards? Well, we can give you that and so much more… introducing BFI Replay!

 

 

We are proud to be partnering with the British Film Institute (BFI) to bring you access to 60 years of screen history. All available to use free of charge, library members can access the digital archives on the library computers.

 

 

With National Lottery Funding and the support of the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, BFI have been able to digitalise thousands of moving image stories. There’s plenty to choose from!

 

 

BFI also has a range of historical content, which is perfect with Love Your Library Day fast approaching, as we have lots of events taking place in our libraries around the theme of Local and Community History.

 

 

You’ll have to pop in and see us to try it out for yourself, as this is an in-library service only.

 

 

Disclaimer from BFI:

BFI Replay features 1000s of videos and programmes spanning six decades, from the 1960s to the 2010s. It allows people to explore thousands of videos and films from the collections of the BFI National Archive and partner UK Regions and Nations Film Archives.

 

 

The BFI (British Film Institute) and the Regions and Nations Film Archive partners take our role as guardians and curators of our screen heritage very seriously and have devoted many hundreds of hours to viewing archival material to ensure selection of the most interesting, entertaining and historically valuable content.

 

 

We have taken careful steps to exclude wholly unacceptable material from the platform, and to identify and label any sensitive material with appropriate warnings. But due to the very high number of titles involved, the BFI and our partners have not been able to view everything.
