Learning on ScreenAbout the Consortium
The primary sources section brings together a selection of articles which not only chart the origins and development of the IUHFC but reveal discussions around the practical issues of how to use film in teaching specific topics and the process of archiving film at the time. These texts are all from the journal University Vision which was published by the British Universities Film Council from 1968 to 1975. The whole of the first edition, sub-titled Film and the Historian and edited by Dr Paul Smith is available.
The secondary sources section looks at the history and significance of the organisation through articles by Dr Peter Bell, Executive Secretary of IUHFC, and Professor James Chapman. We hope to keep adding material here which will help to deliver different perspectives on the IUHFC and its legacy, from those that were part of it and those discovering it for the first time.
