Topics & Keywords

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: This clip serves requests for a circa 1978 Larnach Castle or Dunedin location card in New Zealand tourism, heritage and travel-history productions.
Period detail: The booklet's typeface and printed picture may show 1970s tourist print style, though the page itself carries no date.
Home-movie behavior: A traveller filmed the castle guide to label this stop on the trip reel, a common home-movie habit of using brochures as titles.
What appears in frame: The shot shows a 'Welcome...' heading, a printed picture of a towered castle with verandahed wings, trees and a lawn with a curved bed, the words 'This is your guide to Larnach Castle', and a blue textured surface at the edges.
Film character: Handheld Super 8 with visible grain, soft focus, a strong magenta-violet colour shift and a brief projector frame line near the end gives the shot its original-film texture.
Edit role: Use it as an insert or title card to establish Larnach Castle before footage of the building, or as a souvenir memory beat in a travel sequence.
Historical context: Larnach Castle on the Otago Peninsula has been open to visitors since the Barker family bought it in 1967, and printed guides like this one were given to visitors.
Research note: There are no people. The booklet's design and picture may be protected by the publisher's copyright, the castle is privately owned, and the film's home-movie copyright is separate from those rights.
Research search match: Larnach Castle guide booklet, 1970s Dunedin tourism brochure, Super 8 New Zealand travel home movie, Otago Peninsula castle footage.
Archive pairing path: Pair it first with the Dunedin Railway Station clip and other Dunedin and Otago Peninsula shots from this reel, then with the Doubtful Sound brochure as a matching brochure insert, then with other 1970s New Zealand travel footage.
