Online database documenting the collection of the Scottish Screen Archive. Principally non-fiction, comprising documentary, newsreel, shorts, educational, advertising and promotional films, amateur and professional productions, the material is largely on 16mm and 35mm, with smaller collections of 9.5mm and 8mm film and videotape. The collection as a whole reflects ways in which Scotland and her people have been portrayed in film since 1896, with its strengths being its ability to illustrate local community life, industrial history and the changing nature of leisure.
