Description
The Yorkshire and North East Film Archive is a unique pan-regional resource which comprises 75,000 reels of film, video, and digital content capturing life in Yorkshire and the North East over the past 135 years.

At the heart of our Collection are films made by, and for, local people which reflect the diversity of the people living in our communities, conveying a strong sense of place and regional identity in a way only moving pictures can. The films reflect multiple aspects of life in the region from the 1890s to the present day, documenting major changes in employment, industry, culture, leisure, and the changing landscape and architecture of Yorkshire and the North East of England.

As a registered charity, our work is to collect, preserve, and make these extraordinary collections accessible for everyone.
