In 2019, the Museum worked with the wonderful Yorkshire Film Archive to digitise some of Geoffrey Willey’s cinefilms. This is a short compilation of those films and includes footage of the Museum from the 1970s. The film was also on show as part of the A Life Through the Lens exhibition, in 2020, in our art gallery. This compilation features Geoffrey cliff abseiling, taking to the water for his role at the Institute of Seaweed Research and Geoff at leisure, ice skating and at home with the family.
