Film and Video Archive Services for Non-Commercial Users

VIDEO COPIES (GENERAL PUBLIC)

Whole films or extracts from films in the collection (unless under copyright restriction) may be copied onto PAL VHS video cassette for the private use of certain types of individual non-commercial user only. All such video copies have the IWM's initials "burnt in" one corner of the image.

Requests for material to be copied to a video system other than PAL or a video standard other than VHS will be referred to a commercial video facility, in which case the user will be liable in full for that facility's normal charges. IWMFVA reserves the right to add its own handling charges in such cases.

When extracts only are to be copied, users will select the appropriate material in a Steenbeck viewing session (see above).

Users receiving this service are expected to provide their own good-quality blank tape: if IWMFVA has to provide a tape, a surcharge of £ 5.00 will be added to the charges listed below. All prices are subject to VAT.

Note that a reel of film corresponds to approximately 10 minutes playing time.

General public:

  • £ 40.00 for a single reel
  • £ 80.00 for two reels
  • £ 20.00 for each additional reel

Veterans (and their close relatives) etc:

  • £ 15.00 for a single reel
  • £ 5.00 for each additional reel

IWMFVA does not allow the use of private camcorders to record images from its projection or viewing screens. Such images may be included in the background (for example, when a camera is brought to record an individual's reactions to a film) only by arrangement with the IWMFVA and at IWMFVA's discretion.
