Film Archives of the National Archives of Zimbabwe

Abstract

The National Archives of Zimbabwe ( NAZ) houses the film archives of the institution as well as other audiovisual material. This includes sound archives, slides and literature. The Unit used to be part of our Library until 1988, when it became separate. Assistance in setting up the Unit was obtained from the Beit Trust and Japan. The Beit Trust helped us secure a Steenbeck editing table and the Japanese donated the ultrasonic film cleaning machine and telecine equipment under the Japanese Cultural Grant Aid. The Japanese also donated a theatre projector which we have not been able to utilise since 1991 because there was no auditorium. However, the government has now provided the funds for the construction of an auditorium.
