A rare collection of almost 300 films which offer a unique glimpse of life in India and other parts of South Asia during the final days of the British empire has been made available free online.
The archive, which is owned by Cambridge University's Centre for South Asian Studies, is available from on March 4 on the centre's website, where users can watch and download the footage for free.
It contains approximately 50 different private collections, all made by people who lived and worked in India and other parts of Asia between 1911 and 1956, just as British rule in the region was coming to a close.
