Established in 1992, the South West Film & Television Archive collection spans from 1893 to the present day containing more than 250,000 items. Formed from a variety of depositors, including broadcast news and programmes material from the Westward and TSW archive. In 2018 the archive collection transferred to The Box in Plymouth.
The Money is the Route of... Debt
(Community Action)
Part two of a five-part series. This part focuses on debt and how to cope, looking at family budget, bankruptcy, pawnbrokers and bailiffs.
A community charge warrant can occur if you fail to pay off debts. Going to court to ask for an administration order could help, if your debt is £5,000 or less, for example. Credit is too easy to get and not always very easy to pay off, but there are options available to help.

Working Life and Homelessness
Life and economics in the South West.
Here we have some harder hitting titles from the SWFTA collection at The Box, revealing what it's like to live in the South West during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Several stories explore issues around work life / home life balance, while we also see people struggling with redundancy, mental health issues, rural homelessness, tax and recession.
But it's not all doom and gloom: there are also uplifting news stories of entrepreneurial spirit, people discussing the economic growth of the South-West, a fit-for-work awards ceremony and a dentist's office opening its doors in order to debunk myths that all dentists are scary.
