The Bain Graffy Film Collection
The collection was created and built up over many years by Professor Graffy and was named in his honour to mark his retirement from SSEES in December 2013.
Over many years, until his sudden death in June 2014, Cameron Bain was responsible for adding material to the website indexes and for creating thousands of individual catalogue pages, a task he performed with knowledge, enthusiasm and exemplary efficiency. For this reason the collection was renamed in his memory.

UCL staff and students may watch material in the Multimedia Room at SSEES Library. Note down the call number of the DVD / video tape on which the material is held (e.g. DVD-123) and request it at the Library Help Desk.
Please note that viewing facilities are NOT available to people from outside UCL.
