Hoi,
The big problem is the size of the material .. The video created by the New
York chapter can be found on Commons in a REALLY small window. Nice that it
is there but it is hardly usable.
There is a military project in many wikipedias certainly in the English
language one. They would really appreciate it.. In a similar way, we may be
able getting material from the "politionele acties" in Indonesia ... I am
not into this really and given my expectation that there may be movies in
it, I have kept quiet on it.
Thanks,
GerardM

something that I've had on the back of my mind for a while. The
question in my mind is, is there a group of people that has specific
interest in this content, and if so should this be made more of a
priority?

Hi!
Just and idea for GLAM projects...
I watched recently "World War 1 in Colour"
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_1_in_Colour). It's very
impressive to see quite a lot of filming from this period.
DVD credit The Imperial War Museum London for original black and white
footage. May be Wikimedia UK charter could try to arrange access for
public domain materials too? Sure, other charters could try the same
with their countries archives.
Eugene.
