The Northern Region Film and Television Archive (NRFTA) is a not-for-profit organisation which exists to collect, preserve and provide access to Film , Television and other moving image material related to the history of a region of England , which is defined as the Tees Valley area and the counties of Durham , Northumberland and Tyne And Wear .

The NRFTA's collection consists mainly of regional TV news and regionally produced network output, industrial, promotional, educational and advertising films, and amateur film and video.
