London's Screen Archives

London’s Screen Archives (LSA) is the regional network which supports all organisations in London holding collections of moving image material. Its mission is to bring screen heritage into the heart of London’s cultural life. It helps organisations care for their collections. It helps the public and researchers find and use the material. It opens up new access to our extraordinary heritage of film made in or about our city.

London’s Screen Archives is collaborative by nature. It joins up organisations of different types – from commercial picture libraries to local authority archives. Sharing expertise and effort is central to its operations.

  • About London’s Screen Archives

Can the London Screen Heritage Programme help you?

The London Screen Heritage Programme is offering six projects this year to London-based archives, museums, and libraries that have moving image holdings but no access to moving image specialists. The programme has received funding to send specialist conservators and cataloguers into collections to undertake a range of work on their films, videos, and DVDs. See the Current LSA Projects page for more information.

If you have a general enquiry about LSA, would like to attend a steering group meeting as an observer, or wish to add your collection to this website, please email screenheritage@filmlondon.org.uk.
“The knowledge I’ve gained has helped towards our long-term ability to create an archive of DVDs – to make available a part of our moving image archive which would otherwise not get viewed.”
