John Simkin Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Seven years ago the publishers of the Daily Mail spent more than £10 million for the film library of British Pathe. The 3,500 hours of material covers news, sport, social history and entertainment from 1896 to 1970. The entire archive, including its pictures of the Coronation of Tsar Nicholas II, the explosion of the Hindenberg airship and the declaration of war in 1939, has been digitised, with the help of £1 million from the National Lottery's New Opportunities Fund. This material can now be searched online and downloaded from the Pathe News website. http://www.britishpathe.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
