More Info
More than 500 hours of moving-image clips and 56,000 photos have been licensed by JISC Collections for at least 25 years for UK further and higher education institutions, for publication from Summer 2010.
Following £2.5 million in funding from JISC and a competitive procurement process during the first months of 2009, eleven high-quality image collections have been licensed by JISC Collections as part of the Digital Images for Education initiative.
The key emphasis is on bringing to life “Our History” – in particular, film and digital images that capture local history, UK history and world history during the last 25 years.
Most of the images will be added to JISC Collections’ subscription-based services such as Education Image Gallery and Newsfilm Online.
