In the words of the principal author and editor of “The History”, Ian Davidson: 
“In this document, as well as covering the first 60 years of our history, we have aimed to bring the history of the Whitehorse Film Society to life by exploring the details and recounting as many anecdotes as we can recall. 
In addition, we have used this history document to explain some of the decisions made by the Society over the years, and to enlighten readers as to the reasons behind some of our current methods and procedures. – Hence the subtitle ‘Glimpses Behind the Screen’ ”.

This 114-page book is professionally printed and bound, full of history, amusing anecdotes, stories about the people, films and technology, and other interesting facts. There are photos or drawings on almost every page. It includes a four-page gallery of colour photos.
