Arts Council of Great Britain: records, 1928-1997


Series description

Series title: Film, Video and Broadcasting Department: Client Funding Administration, 1966-1995
Reference: ACGB/55
Extent: 45 items

Scope and content

This series contains papers relating to the Film, Video and Broadcasting Department's client funding. These papers include; applications, application lists, correspondence, internal memoranda and offer letters. This series also contains production files for some of the projects awarded funding.

Until 1986 the Council's activities in film were managed by the Visual Arts Department and when responsibility for film was transfered to the new Film, Video and Broadcasting Department not all the early papers relating to film were handed over. Therefore papers relating to film can still be found amongst the Visual Arts Department's papers. See ACGB/31 for such papers relating to client funding administration.

For more information relating to client funding, see also ACGB/54 for the minutes and papers of the various advisory committees (which include many applications which were submitted for decision).

Arrangement

The items in this series are arranged chronologically.
