The Story of British Pathé

The British Pathe contains a treasure trove of images, from buccaneering cameramen, to those who witnessed history's pivotal moments.

British Pathe's output evolved during the Second World War, with Bob Danvers-Walker's announcements and encouragements during the Blitz.

British Pathe was famous for pioneering news reports, and "cinemagazines", which were made to boost the nation's morale in the wake of the First World War.

British Pathe's travelogues and anthropological documentaries offer British cinemagoers a rare opportunity to look at distant worlds.
