HISTORY The Film Archive Forum was established in 1987 with the object of fostering an informal network of British moving image archives. Four archives sent representatives to the first meeting, but the Forum now contains eleven institutional members, representing all the national and regional public sector moving image archives of the UK. The Forum is chaired by the British Universities Film & Video Council . Full membership remains institutional, although others can be invited to attend Forum meetings as Observing Members. The Forum takes an interest in all the archival aspects of the moving image. It has particular interest in the preservation of Nitrate Film , acetate film, Videotape and Digital Media ; the training of archivists, acquisitions policy, standards for archives, copyright, co-operation with film laboratories, and contacts with foreign archives.
