Periodicals

Janette Scott

We hold over 6,000 periodical titles in all. These date back to the earliest years of cinema in the 19th century. We currently subscribe to over 300 titles, including academic, popular, fan, industry and other titles from 45 different countries.

Just over 100 of those are indexed by our small team of indexers for the BFI Film and TV Database - available in the library Reading Room, and also for the FIAF International Index to Film Periodicals.

Most are invaluable to researchers and some are truly unique being the only copies available in Britain. Where the originals are in a fragile condition we ask that you use alternative formats, such as microfilm or fiche, and respect our photocopying restrictions.
