[ecrea] Call for Papers: Audio-Visual Archives Conference, 18-19 July 2015, British Library

Notification of Conference and Call for Papers

The School of Music at the University of Leeds and the British Library are co-hosting a conference at the British Library on Audio-Visual Archives on 18-19 July 2015, as part of the AHRC-funded project The Professional Career and Output of Trevor Jones. Collections of materials relating to audio-visual processes and products take various forms ranging from the multitrack reels of film-score recording sessions in the Trevor Jones Archive at the University of Leeds to the Muir Mathieson papers and other film-related manuscripts at the British Library to the scores and other documents in the Warner Brothers’ Archive in California. This two-day conference will bring together scholars and students working with audio-visual archives to address some of the fundamental issues surrounding the use of such collections, and to explore current research in screen music that draws on archival resources.

The conference committee welcomes and encourages submissions relating to all aspects of audio-visual archives, though indicative areas might include:

Research methods and audio-visual archives
Archives and creative practice
Archival materials and the processes of screen music
Issues of access and availability of audio-visual archives and materials
Copyright and intellectual property
Audio-visual archive management and preservation

Proposals with brief abstracts (250 words) for papers of 20 minutes’ duration should be submitted (totrevorjonesfilm /at/ leeds.ac.uk)  by Friday 16 January 2015. The conference website will be updated as details are confirmed, and a full programme will appear here following the closing date for proposals in early 2015. Information regarding conference fees, meals and accommodation will also be made available via the website.

The Film Music Foundation has funded a small number of bursaries for postgraduate students and early-career researchers to attend the conference. Information on eligibility and the application process will be available in due course.

If you have any questions regarding the conference please do not hesitate to contact me, and for regular updates please follow the Trevor Jones Project on twitter, @TJFilm.
