Abstract

The British Artists’ Film and Video Study Collection is a small specialist collection dedicated to the history of artists’ moving images in Britain, which is based at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design at the University of the Arts London. The Collection services the needs of both academics and curators in this specialist area. Its founders describe its raison d’être and collecting policy, and outline some of the challenges of working in an environment susceptible to changing research priorities and uncertain digital storage standards.
