Using Images from this Website

When using images from this website (for example in a PowerPoint slideshow for a student seminar), please include a credit line that references ‘Cinema Memory and the Digital Archive’ and ‘Special Collections, Lancaster University Library’. You should also cite the catalogue reference of the original document so that others can discover it via our website and in the archive. For example, a suitable image credit line might read as follows:

Using quotations or extracts from our documents in your work

If you are quoting from, or referring to, one of the collection’s documents in your work then you will need to provide a citation. Your citation should conform to the rules of the specific referencing style guide you are following. For example, a letter by the participant Dorris [aka Doris] Braithwaite could be referenced in a bibliography in the following ways:
