How to Use:
Although this is a government series of records, copyright in the films in this series may not always be held by the Crown and administered by the State Archivist.
Many of the films were created by the Education Department's Visual Aids Centre and therefore the copyright is government. However, some of the films were made privately and acquired by the agency. Copyright may be held by the individual creators/producers and the names of these have been specified at item level where possible.
If the privately made film was NOT "made public", then copyright expires 70 years AFTER the material was created. If the privately made film was "made public" BEFORE January 2019, the copyright expires 70 years after it was made public.
Some films from this series are available to view online.
Series notes:
This series comprises films produced by or acquired by the government. They include general film footage of Tasmanian places and events, training films, promotional/documentary material and some feature films.
A small number of the films were made privately and acquired by the government. In these cases, copyright may be held by the individual creators/producers and the names of these have been specified at item level where possible.
Please be advised that this footage may contain words and descriptions that may be culturally sensitive, which reflect the attitude of the period in which the film was produced, and which may be considered inappropriate today.
