Accessions & Documentation

Screen Archive South East's Conservation Centre at Chichester provides the storage facility for all original materials, and houses all of the archive’s collection, preservation and production activities. This work requires continual professional development and research, especially in the areas of documentation and the technological aspects of collection management, preservation and digitisation.

All items/collections entering the collection are inspected, prepared for storage and catalogued. The archive has an in-house database that is used to document the content and condition of every item in the collection. The archive also has online resource - Screen Search, containing a growing catalogue of selected films from archive's collection.
