'We've been delighted to hear so many of you are using archive material from the scheme with your students during the lockdown and are very keen to hear of further films you would like to see added to the collection, so please send us your suggestions. Our archive partners are happy to consider all requests and are committed to adding more films to the project as it develops.
We'd also love to see some of the films created using archive material from the scheme.
