The Archive's Curator Janet McBain, said: 'For the first time we are able to present in an accessible format the richness of the collection of film that has been acquired and identified by the Scottish Film Archive since its inception in 1976. The titles in this volume represent the work of professionals and amateurs, and range from educational and industrial film, family collections, local 'topical' films made by independent cinemas to the Oscar winning Seawards the Great Ships (1960) and government sponsored output. The collection offers a unique perspective on community life as well as issues of national concern to Scots since the turn of the century. There remain in the Archive several thousand films yet to be viewed and catalogued. We look forward to publishing succeeding volumes of our holdings in years to come.'
