    Many may already be aware of this, but for what it is worth, on its Blog of 4/17/14, British Pathe announced that it had uploaded its entire collection of 85,000 films, in high resolution, to its YouTube channel.

    Hi Charles,

    Thats good news! Do you know if it is all still watermarked footage and what is the best way to search it?
    Another great resource on youtube is the stuff created by PhotosNormandie.
    It has much of the same stuff you see on critical past or combat reels.
    All of Photosnormandie stuff is found by searching f000001, f000002, all the way through f000280.
    Just adding one number was the best way to make sure you see each and every one of them.

    Hi Guys,

    Good news indeed; the only down side is that YouTube compress their files for faster download/viewing and in so doing quality is degraded.

    Guess you can't have everything in life :D

    Regards,

    Pat
