Learning on ScreenThe Films
The sixteen films produced by the Consortium between 1969 and 1999 can be divided into two series: the British Universities Historical Studies in Film Series (1969-1995) and the Archive Series (1974-1999). The main difference between the two was stylistic with the Historical Studies Series using scripted voice-over commentaries and the Archive Series using compilations of newsreel and archive footage preceded by captions. Each film was accompanied by a booklet which examined the subject in greater depth and was usually written by the historian responsible for the production.
