Great news to cap the week here from the Mary Evans Picture Library in London – they have just added half a million images from Everett Collection in America to the library – which – added to to their extensive collection from the Ronald Grant Film Archive pushes them to the number one spot for sourcing history and film images in one search box. – quick link: photo editors view a selection here.
They say: Everett’s extensive film material, collated by Morris Everett since 1961, includes movie star portraits, film stills, posters and other ephemera, with special emphasis on Hollywood’s Golden Age. This substantial archive is now offered through Mary Evans, with twice as many images available in the UK than ever before.
In addition to Everett, Mary Evans’ representation of the superlative Ronald Grant Film Archive is now extended to its UK clients, making the library the essential destination for researchers seeking content on any and all aspects of cinema history. New web search facilities have been put in place on the Mary Evans site to help clients efficiently navigate the wealth of new imagery, with options to search for specifically film content, history content or both.
‘We are delighted to expand our film offering so radically,’ says Paul Brown, Managing Director at Mary Evans. ‘At a time when specialist agencies are disappearing, we are able to combine a comprehensive wealth of imagery with the expertise, knowledge and personalised service for which the library is renowned. We have represented the Ronald Grant Film Archive for some years internationally, but I believe that being able to offer this content alongside the newly-arrived Everett material makes us the leading UK specialist source for film and film history images.’
