Wellcome Film Collection
Content from the Wellcome Film Collection has now been added to Film & Sound Online. 212 films were put in to service on 26th February representing the 17th separate collection to be included in Film & Sound Online. A further 230+ Wellcome titles will be added in batches in a process due to finish in December 2009.
The core collection consists of about 60 © Wellcome Trust titles that were made by the corporate arm of the organisation, in the guise of the Wellcome Foundation. The earliest footage is of archaeological digs in the Sudan, at Jebel Moya, featuring the founder, Sir Henry Wellcome himself (A day at Gebel Moya, season 1912-13), as well as more jaunty corporate fare about the business of running a pharmaceutical company (Looking Around, The Story of the Wellcome Foundation).
The Wellcome Film Collection is available at http://www.filmandsound.ac.uk/collections/wellcome.html
