History, Heritage and Archives

The History, Heritage and Archives cluster explores all aspects of archiving and cultural heritage practice, and the opportunities and tensions that present themselves for scholars, institutions and practitioners in these fields. Through this work, we reflect on the relationship between people, media and the past. Our research covers a range of activities concerned with the past, drawing upon a number of specialisms and interdisciplinary methods, with strong influences from Television Studies and Fan/Audience Studies. We ask questions about history of, in and around the media, exploring a range of forms as sites of historical mediation and the production of ways of thinking about and engaging with the past.
