INFORMATION AND RESOURCES


PUBLICATIONS Getting the research output of the Centre into print has been a particular concern in recent years. Selected proceedings from two major Centre conferences have now found publishers, and should appear over the next eighteen months. These are Trading Culture, edited by Sylvia Harvey (John Libbey) and Optical to Digital, based on the 2003 Exeter ‘Multimedia Histories’ conference, edited by James Lyons and John Plunkett (Exeter University Press).
