The network will run from March 2021 to March 2023. Details of network events (starting in September 2021) will be posted on this website, under the heading “Symposia”; you can also subscribe below to receive our newsletters with details of new events.
We are also keen for this website to become a platform for researchers of early recordings to make their work visible and connect with others. We have a ‘Research resources’ section for researchers new to early recordings, we welcome contributions and news for blog posts, and under ‘Past activities’ we have posted the programmes (and, in some cases, presentation recordings) of three early recording conferences we held in 2019, 2020 and 2021 prior to the set-up of the AHRC network.
