Photographic
Old photographs are a great way to see how people lived in the past. Most Local Study Libraries hold photographic collections, however most of these are being put onto a searchable online database at http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/. On the border of Nottinghamshire there is also the Long Eaton and Sawley Archive http://www.archive.long-eaton.com/default.asp.
Film & Video
The Media Archive for Central England is based in Nottingham, they are a recognised body responsible for collecting, preserving and making accessible the moving image heritage of the East and West Midlands. http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/film/mace/
