[Commlist] New Book: Archiving the Referendum: BBC Scotland's Television Archive and the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum

Mhairi Brennan is delighted that her first book, /Archiving the 
Referendum: BBC Scotland’s Television Archive and the 2014 Scottish 
Independence Referendum /has now been published and she hopes if might 
be of interest to colleagues in Cultural Studies, Memory Studies, 
Political Studies, and Indyref.

Using the contents of BBC Scotland’s television archive pertaining to 
the 2014 Scottish independence referendum campaign, this book argues 
that television archive material is a powerful memory tool which shapes 
how we connect with the past. The referendum was a seismic moment for 
Scotland and its repercussions are still being felt today. BBC Scotland 
provided the lion’s share of television coverage of the referendum and 
even became part of the story of the campaign. This book offers a unique 
insight into the work of the archivists and programme-makers involved 
with preserving and reusing footage of the campaign held in the 
broadcaster’s archive. Combining textual analysis with interviews with 
programme-makers and archivists, it explores the labour conditions and 
institutional policy around access to BBC Scotland’s television archive 
which play a crucial role in how material is chosen and used, thus 
shaping the stories that BBC Scotland tells about the referendum.
