Background papers concerning ULAVC collection of medical films and videos now held by the Wellcome Trust. Most files include at least the videotape production completion form, information sheets, and the agreement signed by the contributor permitting the loan or sale of the recording. Some files include publicity material, correspondence with the contributor, scripts, shot-lists, and related reprints, illustrative materials etc.

The C numbers in italics are the previous references of the ULAVC. The folders for the particular videos within each series have been kept as originally filed, with the original subnumber in brackets in italics. It is evident that there are significant gaps and lacunae in the material received.

These files were received by the Wellcome Trust from the University of London Audio-visual Centre to provide background information on the films and tapes transferred to the Wellcome Trust Medical Film and Video Library in September 1991. In January 2009, 100 videos from the Clinical Medicine and GPTV series were transferred from the BMA Film Library to the Moving Image & Sound Collection.

Routine documentation relating to arrangements for filming, the loan or copying of the video-tapes, duplicates, scrap notes etc, has been weeded.
