>History on television has never been more popular, but what sort of 
>history are we being shown on our screens? Archive-based programmes, star 
>presenters, dramatisations, reality television, digital recreations, and 
>interactions with web resources have led to a rich but complex situation. 
>What should the history programme's attitude be towards its sources? What 
>has the drive towards history-as-entertainment in a competitive 
>broadcasting market done for the popular understanding of history? How 
>should television recreate the past?
>
>'It May Be History, But Is It True?' is a major one-day conference which 
>will look at the state of history on television today, and where it may be 
>going. It will bring together leading academics, archivists, producers and 
>film researchers to discuss history and reality television, dramatisation 
>in history programming, the changing use of archive film, and history 
>programmes in the digital age.
>
>The conference is being organised by the International Association for 
>Media and History (IamHist) and the Imperial War Museum, in association 
>with the British Universities Film & Video Council (BUFVC).
>
>The conference will be held at the Imperial War Museum on 15th October 
>2004. For the provisional programme, and details of how to book, follow
