Part of the collection comprises of film equipment developed and used by George Albert Smith, James Williamson, Alfred Darling and Charles Urban, pioneers of early English filmmaking, who are known collectively as the Brighton School.
In 1997 the Friends of Hove Museum, with support of the Headley Trust, purchased part of the Barnes Collection pertaining to the Brighton School, which is on display in the film gallery at the museum.
The collection also includes an Ives Lantern Kromskop from 1898, which was used to create an early form of colour photography and a Darling ‘Special Effects’ camera dating from 1899-1900.
