News @ UNB Libraries

UNB Libraries has a wide variety of documentary and feature films collected to enhance the teaching and research objectives of our faculty.

Like to learn more about our film collection? Click //www.lib.unb.ca/filmResources/ to visit the web page or, if you’re in the Harriet Irving Library, browse the films located on the first floor, past the main stairwell.

Films marked in the UNB Libraries catalogue with the location WCL-VIDEO are part of the growing collection of films available at the Ward Chipman Library on the Saint John campus. If you’d like to browse this collection, you’ll find it at the end of the hallway by the washrooms on the second floor of the Ward Chipman Library.

Need help locating films? Contact/drop by the Research Help Desk for assistance.
