The Leeds Architectural Society was established in 1876, with architect George Corson as its first President. The Society amended its name to The Leeds and Yorkshire Architectural Society in 1883 being formally affiliated to the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1891 and later in 1928 changed its name to the West Yorkshire Society of Architects. Members of the Society were instrumental in the formation of a Leeds School of Architecture in 1902.

Tom Pevsner was a producer, director and screenplay writer, the son of the noted art and architecture scholar Sir Nikolaus Pevsner.
Pevsner served in the Army from 1944-48 and studied Modern Languages at Cambridge before entering the film industry at Ealing Studios in 1951. He donated his collection to the Northern Film School after interacting with the staff and students during the assessment work he was undertaking. The collection was first placed in the City Campus Library in 2005, and he wished it would be made available to film scholars.
The collection includes film scripts, screenplays, and storyboards, many annotated by Pevsner and others. These give a rare insight into the workings of film production. The films cover a large period of British film-making, ranging from the 1950s to the 1990s, and include Ealing Studios' "The Ladykillers" to James Bond and "Goldeneye."
