    The Yorkshire Film Archive locates, preserves and exhibits film made in, or about, the Yorkshire region. The site contains details of over 3,000 films and videos from the Archive’s collection of over 16,000 titles. These include documentaries, newsreels, advertising films, and home movie collections, all capturing the rich moving image heritage of the region over the past one hundred years. YFA Online also includes over 60 hours of digitised film clips and additional contextual information.
    The YFA is member of the Film Archives UK body (formerly Film Archives Forum), the organisation that represents the UK’s public sector film and television archives. In October 2012 the Yorkshire Film Archive merged with the North East Film Archive (formerly the Northern Region Film Archive) under the Yorkshire Film Archive banner and charity but - in recognition of the two regions’ distinct identities - the two archives do retain their own regional titles and separate websites.

    Footage Sources, Streaming/Download

    Part of the BBC’s commercial arm, the BBC Motion Gallery includes footage from its archives as well as those of CBS in the United States and is primarily a footage resource for companies in the commercial sector. However, the site also features hundreds of streamed samples of its wares (some lasting only a few seconds), which can be searched by subject and viewed freely via Windows Media Player. The items are adequately encoded and categories include Animals, Business, Places, Nature, News & Events, Science & Technology, Travel, Sport and others. In addition to which there are a huge number of keywords (although there is no actual list to access), as well as pre-organised ‘Concepts’ such as Flirting, Danger, Action and so on which are listed alphabetically. The advanced search makes use of disguised Boolean Search operators but also allows for searches to be limited to format, colour and aspect ratio. It effectively operates as an index to the whole BBC archive. Registration is required but is free and all clips feature BBC digital onscreen graphics as watermarks. In Nov 2007 a new online service was launched in partnership with JISC, to give UK FE and HE institutions access to a selection of footage for use in an educational setting via a password-protected site http://www.jiscmotiongallery.com. At the end of 2009 the Motion Gallery launched the World in Motion channel on Youtube to show high definition clips of programmes such as NOTES ON A CITY.
