Historic Films Launches New Website

Visitors to the Historic Films Archive website will now find a brand-new look, more user-friendly research interface and increased speed and responsiveness to get researchers what they need when they need it. All of the great features that clients have come to rely on from Historic Films are still there with a variety of new features added.

Some of these new features include the ability to export research data structured for use in project spreadsheets, search results that use language understanding to correct misspellings and keyword autocomplete giving users a list of similar result possibilities with their search. In addition, "More Like This" features to help expand results and streamlined filtering to help users better tailor their research results. Managed and developed by Historic Films' Anthea Carr and Adam Putter and his team at Bad Math in Toronto, the design and usability input was considered from both Historic’s internal research staff and longtime clients. They hope the entire stock footage research community will find the new site streamlined, technically more efficient and visually more appealing. Check out all that is new at historicfilms.com
