The British Pathé newsreel archive contains over 90,000 individual film items spanning the period 1896 - 1976. Stories cover all aspects of 20th century social history including news, fashion, sport, entertainment, travel and warfare. The collection has been digitised and is available for free online preview in low resolution. Members of the public may purchase high resolution clips for download, and registered educational users can download clips for free use within the classroom. In April 2014 the entire Pathé archive was made freely available on YouTube.

The South West Film and Television Archive (SWFTA) is the regional film archive for the South West of England. Established in 1993, it is one of the largest regional film archives in the UK and holds the Westward Television and TSW (Television South West) independent television collections as well as a significant number of donated film collections, both amateur and professional. The Archive is able to sell copies of some of its holdings on DVD. The SWFTA is a member of Film Archives UK.
LUX focuses on visual arts-based moving image work, a definition which includes experimental film, video art, installation art, performance art, personal documentary, essay films and animation. The organisation’s main activities are distribution, exhibition, publishing, commissioning, research, and professional development support, and the newly designed website neatly reflects all these activities. Of particular note is the easily searchable collection of 4500 films and videos by approximately 1500 artists, which evolved from the holdings of the now-defunct London Filmmakers Co-operative, London Video Arts and The Lux Centre. These works are available for hire or sale (via the online shop), some may be viewed online in their entirety (Video section) and some are included in online themed exhibitions (listed in the ‘What’s On’ section which also includes detailed information on LUX projects and events, and a calendar listing of upcoming events across London involving artists’ moving image). The site also features a blog and downloadable podcasts and vodcasts of interviews with artists, documentation of LUX events and specially commissioned content.
