Jack Henry Moore was one of the earliest individuals in the UK to own a portable video camera. From the 1960s until his death in 2014, he filmed the world of counterculture, music, experimental art and activism, of which he was deeply involved, as well as daily life across London, Amsterdam, Paris, and beyond.
We acquired his archive with over 4,000 items of cultural significance. More than 2,500 salvaged so far. A huge amount has never been broadcast or seen publicly.
The collection includes footage of Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, John and Yoko, Salvador Dali, Joni Mitchell, Lou Reed, Soft Machine, Bob Marley, Grateful Dead, and many more - alongside experimental film, LGBTQ+ heritage material, UNESCO recordings, and thousands of hours of undocumented cultural history.
We also hold the Dig Media and Toasted Productions production archives - documentary, music, education, and arts content spanning 20+ years.
Not everything is digitised. That's part of what makes this collection valuable. There's material here that nobody has seen since Jack recorded it.
Browse the catalogue to see footage already digitised. Search by keyword - names, places, subjects, dates. Watch screeners, licence directly from us. The catalogue is organised by tape label, so search broadly. Not everything is online yet. Our catalogue is currently being updated, so we are adding material continuously.
If it's not in the catalogue, tell us what you're looking for using the form on the right. We will search the physical collection - tape labels, Jack's handwritten notes, our own records. If we find it, we digitise it. You may need to cover digitising costs, but you get exclusive, unseen material.
