>A one-day symposium organised under the auspices of the Centre for

>Breaking Boundaries in Television Historiography: Historical Research and
>the Television Archive is the second in a series of symposia on the subject
>of television history to be held at the University of Reading in 2003-2004
>(the first, Reconsidering the Canon: Popular British Television Drama in
>the 1960s and 70s was held on September 19th 2003). The focus of this
>second event will be on bringing together archivists, librarians,
>historians, and scholars of television history. The symposium will offer
>an opportunity for the interrogation of historiography and research
>methodologies in the field of television history, as well as offering the
>academic community a clearer view of the aims and objectives of various
>archives and institutions in the UK. It is hoped that this symposium will
>not only be of great value to researchers working in the field
>(particularly postgraduate students within the field of Television
>Studies), but that it will promote stronger links between academic
>researchers of British television history and those people and
>institutions currently providing access to research materials.
>Participants from the archives currently include Steve Bryant (BFI Keeper
>of Television), Jacqueline Kavanagh (Head of BBC Written Archives), Luke
>McKernan (Head of Information, BUFVC), and Murray Weston (Head of BUFVC),
>who will take part in a round table discussion about their current work and
>future plans in the first session of the day.
