The collection features a medley of footage and programmes, with older footage dating from the 1960s and 1970s
A new catalogue of old footage of Derry down through the decades has been unveiled at the Tower Museum.
The Tower Museum – Northland Broadcast Film Collection has been created as the result of a collaboration between the local council, Northern Ireland Screen's Digital Film Archive, and Northland Broadcast.Developed and curated by the Derry-based filmmaker, Vinny Cunningham, the wide ranging collection features a medley of footage and programmes that Vinny made or helped produce, along with older footage shot on film in the 1960s and 1970s by third parties.
All of the footage is deeply connected to the city of Derry, whether through subject, location or theme, and the project has been funded through the National Archives Covid 19 Collections at Risk Grant Programme. “We are delighted that Vinny Cunningham offered to share this archive, I think it’s so important that we capture these snapshots of local history and ensure they are properly preserved for posterity. Making the clips accessible online opens them up to everyone, and they will become an important resource for future generations.”
