Since 2008 the website has diversified to include themed collections of archival radio and TV programmes (streamed complete or as extracts), documents and photographs. Topics currently featured include the Holocaust, Cuba and the Cold War, Doctor Who, WW2 relations with the USSR, Francis Bacon, the birth of the NHS, survivors of the Titanic, and working class life. Also available are the complete series of David Atttenborough’s 1956 ZOO QUEST FOR A DRAGON and MEN AND MONEY (1964), and the first BBC colour series from 1957, WHAT WE WORE, on the history of fashion. The front Archive page also links to other sections of the BBC website that host archival collections - IN OUR TIME, Radio 3 World Music Archive, WOMAN’S HOUR, World Service Archive, and clips from PLANET EARTH and AUTUMNWATCH in the Wildlife Finder.

    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.
