Research and the Screen Archive South East collection

Research on the Screen Archive South East collection is an on-going activity. It enables the archive to understand the collection’s historical and intellectual meanings and its relevance to the needs of a diverse range of learners. It informs all of the archive’s access and educational work. This work begins by taking a particular item and investigating its history of production, exhibition and reception and the histories that it represents.

Such investigations benefit the development of:

• the archive’s online resources, including:
  • Screen Search - SASE's online database
  • Screen Search Fashion
  • Medway on Screen
• the creation of study collections
• the production of DVDs
• the preparation of presentations, lectures, academic collaborations and projects
• the curation and production of cinema programmes, museum exhibitions, catalogues and scholarly publications
• the work of learners engaging with the archive’s resources
