Description
INTRODUCTION Amateur film, home movies, or home videos are increasingly being used in the production of high-rating documentaries, adding an often poignant and personal touch to an otherwise glossy production. These amateur recordings of trivial or shattering events provide another resource from which the documentary maker, and the historian more broadly, may draw in order to help explain events and in particular, emotional reactions to them. Yet the place of moving image as a potentially valid research resource has been given limited attention in the academic world. Few academic papers refer to or make use of moving image sources and most university research libraries have limited holdings of material for purposes other than entertainment. Pymm reports on a survey conducted by the National Film and Sound Archive in Australia, in regard to which very few university libraries responded to a call to report significant audio-visual collections, and in his own research concluded that "universities appear to have played a very small part in building and maintaining collections of broadcast television material" (1).
