Starters

Starters are groups of film items from the British Pathe Archive chosen to help teachers and students use this vast array of resources.

The Archive does not work like a website so direct links cannot be made to the resources..it's like a reference library you have to identify the item you want and then request it. Just copy the item title and other information and put the title into the search on the British Pathe website to locate the resource.

Plus after a title indicates extended notes and/or additional resources.

Contribute If you have a set of Starters from the Archive please share with other schools by sending it to rbcpathe@dial.pipex.com
