1980s cultural collection of official papers, flyers, zines, photographs, from the US and the UK with additional content from Australia and Canada.
Overview
From the rise of Conservatism, the threat of nuclear war, and the AIDS crisis, to rampant consumerism, economic crises, and technological advancements, the 1980s was a turbulent and complex decade in which some individuals reaped significant benefits whilst others experienced severe poverty and hardship. Drawing on material from the late 1970s through to the early 1990s, this resource focuses on the voices of under-represented groups, grassroots organizations, and countercultural movements, addressing themes such as sexuality and identity, Black resistance movements, Indigenous land rights, subcultures, and health and social issues.
These themes are represented within a broad range of sources which feature a variety of perspectives. For example, campaign materials, newspapers and newsletters from grassroots organizations and local communities provide a keen insight into social and political activism during the 1980s, whilst government papers and speeches from the Reagan and Thatcher administrations demonstrate the rise in political conservatism that dominated the decade. Collections of zines highlight the rich creativity and productivity of 80s subcultures, whilst mainstream and consumer culture is epitomised in fashion catalogues, photojournalism and gaming ephemera.

Archival records of the International Secretariat of Amnesty International from the period of 1961-1991.
Introduction Amnesty International Archives presents the archival records of the International Secretariat of Amnesty International from the period of 1961-1991. These records are housed at the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam. Covering a wide range of human rights concerns and issues, the documents in Amnesty International Archives allow researchers to follow not only the influence Amnesty International had on the global human rights movement in the late twentieth century, but also to chart the internal growth and development of the organisation through the first three decades since its founding in 1961.
By the the mid-1960s Amnesty International’s global presence was growing and, with this growth, came the need to formalise administration. The International Secretariat and International Executive Committee were established to manage the different national groups – called ‘sections’ – which had been formed in several countries and continue to operate today.
The archival material is organised into collections. See the Guide to Collections to find out more about the type of documents in each one, or go to View Documents to browse by collection.

Surviving corpus of Topical Budget newsreels produced between 1911 and 1931, digitised from the collections of the British Film Institute and Imperial War Museums
Introduction
This resource comprises more than 6,000 early twentieth-century newsreels produced by the Topical Film Company between 1911 and 1931. The films have been digitised from reels held at the British Film Institute (BFI), which holds the bulk of the collection, and Imperial War Museums (IWM).
Topical Budget was a silent newsreel produced by the Topical Film Company, one of the most significant newsreel companies operating in Britain in the early twentieth century. Initially an independent company, it was purchased in 1917 by the War Office Cinematograph Committee and used as a propaganda tool during the First World War, helping to maintain the morale of the British public, before being purchased again after the war by newspaper owner Edward Hulton in 1919. Under Hulton’s ownership, Topical Budget reached a peak audience of 5 million, before slowly declining in popularity until its closure in 1931.
An early precursor of modern TV news programmes, newsreels were short-form, visual news content intended to inform and entertain the public. Black and white and entirely silent, they relied on title and intertitle cards to contextualise the footage. They were originally shown in cinemas across Britain, with new issues produced twice a week and each issue containing between 4 and 7 stories, most of which only one or two minutes in length.
British Newsreels is an entirely video resource which collates and presents the vast majority of surviving Topical Budget films together for the first time, accompanied by contextual and pedagogical features from experts in the fields of early film history and early twentieth-century society, and fully accessible descriptive transcripts for each film.
Key Themes The newsreels in this resource have each been tagged with one or more themes, allowing users to easily browse the most useful content according to their individual research needs.
The following themes have been added:
Anglo-Irish relations Arts, popular culture and entertainment British Empire and international relations British government, politics and politicians British royal family and royal visits Celebrations and ceremonies Celebrities, aristocrats and socialites Children, youth groups and education Communities, local customs and events Disasters and emergency services Employment, industry and agriculture First World War Health and welfare International affairs and world news Memorial services and remembrance Military displays, parades and inspections Pioneers and record breakers Race and multiculturalism Religious services, events and festivals Science, technology and engineering Shows and exhibitions Sport and leisure Weather and the environment Women and gender
Documents from David Sarnoff, President of the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), and other industry papers, showcasing mass media from the 1920s to the 1970s
Introduction This resource enables research into the development of mass broadcasting through the papers of pioneer David Sarnoff. Sarnoff’s work with RCA pushed the company to become a broadcasting, home media and technological powerhouse of the twentieth century. The American public’s acceptance of mass media, fuelled by constant developments in radio and television technology, changed forever the consumer culture landscape of North America.
The rise of large media corporations transformed radio from a one-to-one communication tool to a means of broadcasting ideas and information to the masses. The papers in this resource provide insight into the impact of broadcasting innovations on advertising, consumer culture, global conflicts, and the Space Race. Sarnoff’s personal papers, from Hagley Museum and Library, are supplemented with official and legal company records, trade catalogues and advertisements. Wider industry pamphlets from Special Collections and University Archives, University of Maryland, track the evolving relationship between broadcasters, legislators, and a new mass audience, with debates over censorship, ethics, marketing techniques and the impact of broadcasting on demographics such as children.
The bulk of the material spans the 1920s to the 1970s, representing the decades of David Sarnoff’s career at RCA. Some additional content covers pre-1920s broadcasting developments, and the final years of RCA before its sale in 1986.

Foreign Office Files for Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, 1959-1979
Collection of correspondence, maps, photographs and memoranda, offering a comprehensive history of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos during a time of political turmoil and increasing conflict
Overview
Conflict in Indochina covers the time period of 1959-1979, presenting Foreign Office Files for Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos from The National Archives. These documents follow the ever-changing political landscape in South East Asia across a period of crisis and upheaval during the Second Indochina War, and the impact of the war on wider world politics.
The end of French colonial rule in the Indochina peninsula, following defeat at Điện Biên Phủ at the hands of the Việt Minh, shaped Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia for the years to come. The resulting Geneva Accords of 1954 attempted to bring about a ceasefire by granting independence to Laos and Cambodia, and temporarily split Vietnam into two countries, divided along the 17th parallel. However, the hopes of peacefully re-unifying Vietnam were dashed as Ngô Đình Diệm, president of South Vietnam, refused to hold elections for a unified national government. North and South Vietnam were opposed along national, political and religious identities, and were respectively backed by opposing international ideologies. Conflict soon broke out among South Vietnamese who were sympathetic to the North.
At the same time, Laos was embroiled in a growing civil war, which acted as a covert stage for the Cold War superpowers. It was primarily waged between the Royal Lao Government, who were backed by the United States, and the communist Pathet Lao, who were linked to North Vietnam, Russia and China. A third faction took a neutral stance, demanding an end to the war and an end to government corruption; after briefly holding power in 1961, the Neutralists were ultimately subsumed into the two other factions. As the conflict intensified during the mid-1960s, the United States increased its military involvement in Laos, conducting covert bombing missions.
While Cambodia officially remained neutral through the conflict, North Vietnamese forces used the country as a refuge and as a supply route to their allies fighting in South Vietnam. Civil war and coups d’état within political factions in Cambodia brought the country more directly into the Cold War and Vietnamese conflict in the 1970s.
Conflict in Indochina contains correspondence, telegraphs and reports about key events and themes of the crisis, largely from a quasi-neutral British perspective. Aiming to protect British interests in Malaysia and Singapore, the Foreign Office sought to maintain the status quo in Indochina, attempting to simultaneously prevent the spread of communist influence while also trying to avoid an escalation of conflict that might envelop the rest of South East Asia. In pursuing these goals, the Foreign Office maintained close diplomatic and political relationships with all involved parties, allowing crucial new insights into the internal politics of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Meanwhile, as a major ally to the United States, the Foreign Office received news and information about US strategies, actions and plans, offering new perspectives on American intervention in Indochina.

The emphasis of the resource is largely on narrative content, giving accounts of life onboard a variety of ocean-going vessels, including merchant and naval vessels, whalers, and pirate ships. A large amount of this content is sourced from journals written by sailors at sea but also from memoirs written by sailors reflecting on their lives. Another major source of narrative content are court records, especially from depositions and witness statements, including the examinations of pirates and court martials within the Royal Navy.
Material has been sourced from institutions in both England and the United States, providing collections that reflect the maritime experience on both sides of the Atlantic. The bulk of the material ranges from 1650-1850, reflecting the availability of material and roughly coinciding with the Golden Age of Sail. The end of the 1850s is also the high-water mark of American whaling prior to the discovery of oil in 1859 at Titusville, Pennsylvania.

As people experimented with this new format across the world, a number of technical and creative pioneers in Britain were particularly prominent in capturing on film everything from national events and people’s everyday lives to variety acts and fantastical stories. With content dating from 1895 to the beginning of the twentieth century, this resource contains collections of early films from the British Film Institute, and a selection of films from the Eye Filmmuseum, that provide not only an insight into the works of early filmmakers, but also the vibrancy and vigour of late Victorian culture and society.
Across these collections, supported by a number of contextual essays, video interviews and exhibitions written by Victorian Studies and Film History experts, it is possible for researchers to explore:
Early filmmaking innovations in editing techniques, special effects, and narrative that informed the future of film.
Actuality footage of significant historical events and figures, including Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897, and her funeral in 1901, the South African War of 1899-1902 (the Second Boer War), the funeral of British Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone in 1898, and the coronation of Edward VII in 1902.
Examples of early popular genres such as phantom rides, trick films and factory gate films.
The early film industry, early production companies, and film as a commodity, particularly in relation to local communities in Britain.
Scenes of late Victorian and Edwardian urban environments and industries, scenic countryside, fairgrounds, sporting events, seaside towns and global travel.
The interconnected nature of early British filmmakers and their production companies, as well as their relationships with individual exhibitors and showmen.
