Inheriting British Television: Memories, Archives & Industries
The history of British television has been written as a 'history' distinct from memory. The idea that memories of television are continuous with its history is less well developed. How is British television remembered and by whom? What part do producers' memories and the media heritage industry play in constructing television's past? These questions drive the overriding objective of the Inheriting British Television research project: to interrogate how ‘British Television Heritage’ is articulated by television producers and media museums/archives. A key element of the research project will integrate knowledge co-generation with practitioners in developing an understanding of television’s past.
The project will run a symposium at the National Media Museum on February 11th, 2014 for researchers, practitioners and media heritage workers involved in the production of television as heritage, memorable and archivable. The project is funded by a British Academy Small Grant; the principal investigator is Dr Joanne Garde-Hansen (Warwick) and the co-investigator is Dr Kristyn Gorton (York).
