For over twenty-five years the BUFVC has been the centre for British cinema newsreel research.
In 1995 the BUFVC was awarded funding for four years by the Higher Education Funding Council for England, to produce a computerised database of the issue sheets.
The BUFVC has worked closely with British Pathe on this development, and has linked its BUND records and digitised documents to the Pathe database.
It is the BUFVC's belief, however, that co-operation between business and education can be to their mutual benefit.
