Digitisation helps us preserve historic video material and deliver selected footage faster to clients. However, archive footage often requires careful rights review, especially where clips include interviews, close-ups, public figures, private individuals, directors, performers, or contributors without separate model releases.
TVDATA provides digitised archive footage with clear usage terms, professional delivery, and responsible licensing.
Some footage may therefore be available only for editorial, documentary, educational, research, or factual use. Commercial advertising, endorsement, broadcast, streaming, exclusive use, or sensitive use may require additional clearance or a rights-managed licensing quote.
