About the JLB Digital Archive

Between 1994 and 2002, over 30 hours of historic eyewitness interviews were filmed for the documentaries ‘Tv is King’ [ Royal Television Society Award] and the widely praised ’JLB The Man Who Saw the Future’. Most of those interviewed either knew or worked closely with JLB. Few had previously been interviewed previously and this archive includes their only known testimony.

Interviewees include; German Television Pioneer - Professor Manfred Von Ardenne, Founder of the Voice of America - Donald Flamm, Personal Assistant to JLB 1933-39 - Paul Reveley, and Physicist Gilbert Tomes who helped JLB deliver The Telechrome as well as television components for Collusus. Central to the archive is the testimony of Professor Malcolm Baird, the inventors son, filmed at many of the key locations in his fathers story. Including; Helensburgh, Bude, Frith Street, Lord Acre, Crystal Palace, Hastings and Bexhill.

As funds allow, it is the intention to make all of this historic material publicly available for the first time ahead of the Centenary of Television which falls in October 1925, and marks John Logie Baird’s laboratory breakthrough with television in Frith Street, London. Do please subscribe if you would like to know when further footage is added to The JLB Digital Archive.
