>of television history to be held at the University of Reading in 2003-2004
>(the first, Reconsidering the Canon: Popular British Television Drama in

>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),
