The East Anglian Film Archive is owned and operated by the University of East Anglia. The East Anglian Film Archive cares for many thousands of films and video tapes from the region including collections of Anglia Television and BBC East news film, and many amateur collections too. These collections are kept in humidity and temperature controlled vaults within the purpose built Archive Centre which the Record Office also occupies. Many of these collections remain unseen by the public due to the cost and complexity of transferring to modern day formats, but digitising is part of the archive's long term plan, along with cataloguing its holdings.
