ETV is a specialised film archive holding footage of the twentieth century. The archive specialises in left wing footage from around the world, with a particular emphasis on material from Russia and the Soviet Union. There is no searchable database, only sections from ETV subject catalogues, which do at least point out the range and strengths of the collection. This site is no longer active, but it can be traced by entering the address in the Wayback Machine. The ETV collection is now held by the National Film and Television Archive.
