These collections/tapes are thought to provide a sound visual basis for any broadcaster or producer who wishes to do a documentary on ESO. The ESO video archive features sequences on many subjects associated to the Organisation. On special request it may be possible to provide extended stock footage on subjects different from those mentioned here.
