Are you a PhD student or early career researcher (ECR) considering pitching a book proposal to a publisher or an article to a journal based on your research into film, television and/or media history?

Call for Papers: IAMHIST Blog

  By ,

 
Call for Papers IAMHIST Blog

The IAMHIST Blog is place for analysing media history in a discursive context, and offers scholars, archivists and practitioners working within these areas a space to disseminate their findings, knowledge and research. We welcome pieces for the IAMHIST Blog on a variety of topics, including, but not limited to, individual and/or collaborative research, conference reports, film festivals, research projects, etc., in the broad area of media history.

The IAMHIST Blog also publishes a series entitled ‘A Day at the Archives…’, which aims to discuss different researchers’ experiences of using a variety of archives and/or museums from around the world, particularly those which may help to contribute to and inform our knowledge of media history.

A new series, which was introduced this year, titled ‘Detectives in the Archive… Researching Primary Sources’, aims to offer advice and personal experiences on analysing/using different types of primary sources relating to media history, for example budgets, call sheets, correspondence, cost reports, daily progress reports, fan magazines, interviews/oral testimony, scripts, etc.

If you would be interested in writing a piece for the IAMHIST Blog, or a piece for either the ‘A Day at the Archives…’ or ‘Detectives in the Archive… Researching Primary Sources’ series, then please email the IAMHIST Blog Editor, Llewella Chapman, with your suggestions and ideas:

llewella.burton@uea.ac.uk

Please refer to the ‘IAMHIST Blog Guidelines’, which can be found here.

For the ‘A Day at the Archives…’ series, the title of your piece should be: ‘A Day at the Archives… [Name of archive/museum, location]’. An example of this would be:

‘A Day at the Archives… The National Archives, Kew (UK)’

For the ‘Detectives in the Archive… Researching Primary Sources’ series, the title of your piece should be: ‘Detectives in the Archive… Researching [name of source]. An example of this would be:

‘Detectives in the Archive… Researching Daily Progress Reports’

N.B. Offering to write a piece for the ‘A Day at the Archives…’ series works on a first-come-first-serve basis. If the archive which you wish to write about has already been suggested by another person, then you will be offered the opportunity to write about another archive of your choice.
