AdminHistoryBill Douglas was widely considered to be under-appreciated and his work under-valued when he was alive. However, after his death and with the release of his filmography on DVD and Blu-ray there was a resurgence in support and acknowledgement for Bill's work. The archive holds creative works that have been inspired by Bill Douglas and his work. These works were created well after Douglas' death, and they all draw attention to the fact that Bill Douglas remains an incredibly important part of the British cinematic canon and his work as a collector of cinema ephemera.
