Users will find, in addition to the films and television programmes themselves, primary documentation produced by the AJC’s television department about the production of these cartoons and live-action short subjects. Also includes the audio content with scripts of AJC-related radio programmes from 1939 to 1955. There is an interactive time-line giving a decade-by-decade tour through the twentieth century.

V&A Channel
In March 2010 the Victoria and Albert Museum launched its online platform the V&A Channel to house high-quality short films relating to the Museum and its activities. The films serve two main purposes, firstly, to inform and excite, giving a global audience the chance to learn about and be inspired by the Museum. Secondly, to support exhibitions and activities and help craft the public’s perception of the V&A. Covering a wide range of subjects, the films offer a unique perspective on the museum, from exhibitions and the permanent collections to events such as Fashion in Motion, press announcements and private views.
