Lancaster project captures glamour and glitz of cinema in 1930s and beyond
Photographs of fabulous film stars and fascinating interviews form part of a stunning new online showcase to capture 1930s cinemagoing in Britain.
The website, to help researchers and the public in their quest for information about the silver screen in the 1930s and beyond, has just been launched.
Part of a £778,000 project, led by Lancaster University and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the website showcases a collection of cinema materials stored in Lancaster University Library’s special collections.
The website features pictures, postcards and other memorabilia from 1930s cinemagoing in Britain, a period when going to the cinema was at its height.
