This royalty free stock footage source is particularly well-designed and easy to use and offers moving images and stills from the birth of cinema up to 1996, with the largest range of material dating from the 1940s. Titles are nearly all non-fiction and drawn largely from U.S. government agency sources. It is possible to search by specific day, month, year or decade; while the broad keywording is very efficient, the resource has a default primary emphasis on geographical location.

The Scottish Broadcasting Commission was established in autumn 2007 by the First Minister of the Scottish Parliament to conduct an independent investigation into the current state of television production and broadcasting in Scotland and define a strategic way forward for the industry, looking particularly at the economic, cultural and democratic importance of broadcasting to a modern, outward looking Scotland and its creative industries. The Commission’s final report was published in September 2008. One of its recommendations was that Scottish Ministers report back annually for the following three years to the Scottish Parliament on their progress in implementing the SBC’s recommendations. Progress for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011 are available on this site.
