[ecrea] CfP Extension: Audio-Visual Archives

DEADLINE EXTENSION: Call for Papers – Audio-Visual Archives
New Deadline: Monday 2 February 2015

**We are particularly keen to receive submissions from early-career researchers and postgraduate students, for whom we have a small number of bursaries available thanks to a grant award from the Film Music Foundation.**

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 and research involving archival materials. Indicative areas might include:

*       Using audio-visual archival materials in research
*       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 Monday 2 February 2015. The conference website will be updated as details are confirmed, and a full programme will appear here following the closing date for proposals.

It is anticipated that this will be a free event for delegates who book places in advance. Information on how to book will be made 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.

Best wishes,
