FRED GOODLAND FILM & VIDEO ARCHIVES


Over 100 years of pictures and sound (photo courtesy of Fred Goodland Film & Video Archives)
Description
These ever expanding, privately owned, archives of film, video and sound recordings are the result of over 50 years of enthusiast collecting and personal restoration work. Mr Goodland joined the film industry as a laboratory technician in 1959. Many years were spent preparing 35mm nitrate negatives and master positives for preservation onto safety stocks. Following years working as a picture and sound editor of film and video documentaries, he now utilises modern restoration facilities in maintaining image and sound materials held in his own collections.
