ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the development of Screened History from 2000 onward, looking at the work of established contributors as well as relevant scholarship from those new to the field and disciplines other than History. Historical review essays on film and television were published in the American Historical Review (AHR) after 2006, but the decision marked the end of any guaranteed space allocated to Screened History in the pre-eminent American historical organisation's journal. The Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television released a special edition in 2002 on the BBC television series The Great War, which had screened thirty-eight years before and prompted the first outpouring of British Screened History. Connected to the larger scholarly debate about representations of the Holocaust and its political, historical, social and psychological repercussions, screened histories on the Holocaust covered a diverse number of themes, films and television programmes.
