Welcome to the Web site for HADDON, the on-line catalogue of archival ethnographic film.


The HADDON catalogue contains records of over xxx films and lengths of film footage shot between 1845 and 1945. The material is largely documentary and was largely shot outside Western Europe; it is stored in archives, museums and other institutions around the world. Records on the holdings have been collated into the HADDON catalogue for the benefit of academic researchers and others interested in the visual representation of non-European peoples.
