    The North West Film Archive (NWFA) is part of Manchester Metropolitan University's Library Services and is a specialist resource dedicated to collecting and preserving the region's rich filmed history. NWFA is a member of both national and international networks of film archives and works closely with the British Film Institute. The work with film undertaken by a team of specialist professionals requires the use of very particular, archive-compatible equipment which can work with often extremely fragile and deteriorated film stock to the high standards required for archives and museum collections. Funding has been provided by The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Capability for Collections Fund (CapCo). The only scanner available in the UK that fulfils these precise criteria is a MWA-Nova film scanner, as outlined below. 1.
