I was thinking about archive collections when I remembered  WeVee which I came across a year ago. I think its a fantastic way to interact with film archives and have really enjoyed viewing some fascinating old film footage . The service is currently in beta and much of the footage is about the west midlands.

WeVee allows you to edit film footage and add a soundtrack, a nice simple multimedia mash up, my ‘festive’ attempt is available to view at - festive24things1

If you are interested in more discovering more great archive collections then the Archives Hub is a great place to start, covering nearly 200 UK institutions, some of their festive collections include

• Christmas at the Co-op
• Christmas 2001
