The Staffordshire Film Archive - May 12th

A Presentation by Ray Johnson MBE

Ray Johnson founded the Staffordshire Film Archive in 1980 and has been developing it ever since. Alongside thousands of original archive films are many hours of complementary material generated by Ray to inform and enhance the films; interviews, relevant audio/visual materials and complete documentary video productions – several broadcast on television here and abroad.

The collection footage of the industrial background and social history of the Staffordshire area. Included in the collection is rural footage from around the County and footage of many of the local trades once found in the locality. Ray will be showing a series of film and video clips of many of these with a particular emphasis on the Stafford area.
