Memory Bank
Memory Bank is an award-winning series of DVD resource packs developed by the Yorkshire Film Archive, in partnership with healthcare professionals, older people, carers, and families.
Memory Bank: Leeds contains unique compilations of archive film footage of the city of Leeds, its communities and major cultural events, sourced from the Yorkshire Film Archive’s broad library. The pack is made up of a DVD containing the archive film collections and a detailed handbook giving you a wealth of background information about life in Leeds. It also contains advice on how to run a session, prompt points to spark conversations as well as place to log memories and ideas for additional enrichment activities.
By contacting Hyde Park Picture House, you can acquire a free copy of the archive.
