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."

Born in York in 1923, he attended Leeds School of Architecture from 1947 to 1950 and graduated with a Dip. Arch. ARIBA. During WW2, he served in North Africa and Italy. During the war, he worked on design projects, including docks, rail and road bridges, and reconstruction work in the post-war period.
After graduation, he worked on the design and planning of housing projects in new towns, including Stevenage and Cumbernauld, in the 1950s and 1960s. He later worked in the directorate of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government. Later, he lectured on urban and regional planning at Strathclyde University before retiring in the mid-1980s.
