Congratulations to Film History and to Indiana University for accessing the famed film journal. Kudos to all as the journal moves into a new future with articles about motion pictures and the history of the medium. It might be helpful as a footnote to indicate that FILM HISTORY is not the same as FILM & HISTORY, although the two are often conflated, sometimes by authors who submit articles. (I once encountered an irate author at an AHA meeting who scolded me for not reviewing his submission in a timely way. Since I always blame myself in such encounters, I went home and searched everywhere for the article. Finally, I called the author to ask about the focus of the piece and we then realized that he had sent it to FILM HISTORY (at that time at Rutgers) and not FILM & HISTORY (at that time at OSU-Stillwater). One of us had quite a laugh over the confusion. So....FILM HISTORY will now be located at the University of Indiana--which already has some important journals like the AHR in its quiver. _http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/film_history/_ (http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/film_history/) And here is the address for Film & History. Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and Television Studies _http://www.uwosh.edu/filmandhistory/submissions/index.php_ (http://www.uwosh.edu/filmandhistory/submissions/index.php) Film & History is under the editorship of Loren PQ Baybrook of the English department, University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh [log in to unmask] (mailto:[log in to unmask]) Director of Communications is Cynthia Miller [log in to unmask] (mailto:[log in to unmask]) Each of these journals has a distinct mission which will be limned on the web sites. Film History has its eye on the evolution of film from a historical perspective. Film & History examines film against the background of history--as understood by historians. Both journals are of the highest quality, of course. Anyone interested in Film & History should attend the biennial meeting in September, 2012. The web site has a full panoply of areas for papers at the meeting in Milwaukee. With fastidious distinctions, Peter C.
