Vintage Footage Reborn in Cyberspace

Australia’s screen culture — from Alvin Purple to home video of Queen Elizabeth’s 1954 royal tour — will be available online from next year. In a collaboration aimed at increasing the Australian public’s knowledge of their audiovisual heritage, more than 1000 clips from film and television programs and radio broadcasts will be available on a web site. Associated scripts, interviews and oral histories will also be available as education material
