British Pathe is a collection of news, news film and movies spanning the years from 1896 to 1976, not only from Britain, but from around the globe. Amongst the 90,000 films that British Pathé have put online (of which 85,000 are newly uploaded) you’ll find coronations, sports activities, fashions of the day, interviews with celebrities, the Royal Family, the Titanic, the destruction of the Hindenburg, British pastimes, gardens, military, parades, travel, culture and 1000s more. Their WW1 Definitive Collection alone contains over 1000 films, which even includes a bunch of films with the Australian and New Zealand military personnel.
Pathé News was founded by Charles Pathe, a producer of newsreels,
cinemagazines, and documentaries from 1910 until 1970 in the United
Kingdom, as well as being a pioneer of moving pictures in the silent
era. The Pathé News archive changed its name a few times over the years,
but is now known “British Pathé”.
