Australian Media History Listserv

On 24 April 2007 a small group of Cultural Research Network members, other academics, archivists and librarians gathered at the State Library of New South Wales to discuss possibilities for a Guide to Resources for Australian Media History.

The meeting decided that listserv should be established for researchers, media practitioners, and others interested in the field of Australian media history. The Australian Media History Listserv, hosted by Macquarie University, focuses on histories of advertising, newspapers, magazines, radio, television, film and the new media.

The Australian Media History Listserv provides:

• a mechanism for disseminating information about events, new publications and education courses in Australian media history;
• an outlet to share information about resources for researching Australian media history;
• a means for posting queries about research and gaps in the field; and
• a place for discussing broader research and epistemological issues pertaining to Australian media history

All researchers with an interest in these areas are invited to subscribe to the listserv. For more information or to subscribe, go to:
