MACE offers a commercial service to media professionals and creative practitioners. As a not-for-profit organisation in the public sector, all of MACE’s commercial income is used to preserve the collection and ensure it is accessible to the public.
MACE has a small team of highly experience professionals who can guide you through the whole process of acquiring archive material from research, accessing viewing material to licensing. You can read more about the team here.
Past programmes featuring material from MACE’s collection include BBC productions Flog It!, The Secret Life of Airports, Andrew Marr’s History of Britain, Nation on Film, Panorama and Silent Britain; ITV’s A Perfect Night in with Lenny Henry and, internationally, France 2’s Apocalypse.
MACE's footage can recently be seen in BBC's coverage of the League Cup Final and the television and internet advertising campaign for www.ancestry.co.uk
But the archive’s commercial potential doesn’t stop at TV programmes. MACE has also provided moving image as a back drop for a performance by the Kaiser Chiefs which was released on DVD - highlighting that archive material can be used in a variety of creative mediums.
