Seeking Night Witches archived footage

Hello. We're looking for original footage of the World War II Night Witches for a documentary. The most we have found comes from Nattens Häxor, however, the only available copy is uploaded in low-quality on YouTube. Is there an archive where this footage has been stored? Thanks bunches!

See the pinned first post on www.thenightwitchesmovie.com (the hour-long documentary is best), and the photos there should be very useful.
