As a member of the „Entangled Media Histories„-network (EMHIS) I have had the pleasure to be part of its delegation to visit the EUscreenXL-Conference „From Audience to User: Engaging with Audiovisual Heritage Online“ that took place 30.-31. October in Rome. In particular, we were busy in networking with other scholars, archivists and research networks dealing with transnational broadcasting history.
