Description: | These films are a compilation of black and white, as well as colour footage, shot by various news organisations, other organisations and amateurs, originally on 16mm, between 1927 and 1969. At some stage they were then transferred to Umatic. In March 2006, they were copied onto VHS. There are 5 Umatic cassettes, each with a corresponding VHS cassette. The Umatic tapes are given the reference 1283/xa and the VHS 1283/xb. These cassettes mainly feature national and local royal events, royal coronations, Jubilees, funerals and visits. There are however several other features of local interest, but a full breakdown of the footage, its filming, dates and approximate running times is included in the description. |
