Country House Lighting
An educational programme, written and presented by David Beevers (Brighton Museum & Art Gallery), which looks at the history of indoor lighting fixtures - from candles to electric lighting. Beginning with the use of candles in the home, Beevers describes the various developments that have occurred in lighting and gives examples of the many different mounts and fittings that have been used in a wide range of domestic settings.

University of Brighton Videotape Collection
A cohesive collection from Screen Archive South East representing the production history of a university production unit from 1977 to 2006.
This collection contains educational programmes created for classroom use as well as programmes and commercial narratives that were made on behalf of local businesses, organisations and the community.
Screen Archive South East has made available from across this collection, a total of eighty four programmes from a variety of obsolete open reel 1-inch tape, U-Matic and Betacam broadcast formats.
This cohesive collection represents the production history of a higher and further education based production unit, with content covering a wide range of subjects: teaching the arts and sciences, fashion shows and art exhibitions, early examples of video art and screen dance from the late 1970s to early 1980; documentaries on Sussex artists and a series of works on the institution’s commemorative and promotional history.
As such, the collection documents a particular regional community and its use of videotape technology over almost a thirty-year period.
The high production values in the work created by Media Services at Brighton Polytechnic later, the University of Brighton, was due to the team of independent film makers or ex-BBC technical and production staff, ensuring top quality programming for the time.
