THE JOURNAL OF THE
BRITISH KINEMATOGRAPH SOCIETY
Vol. 10. No. 3. MAY and JUNE, 1947
BRITISH
KINEMATVGMPHY
The Journal of the British Cinematograph Society
As previously announced, the Society's journal will, from the July issue, be published monthly. A long outstanding aim is thus achieved, which will be to the benefit especially of those members who live outside the area of the London headquarters and the two provincial sections, and to whom the Journal is therefore the principal advantage of membership. This greater frequency of publication will enable reports of meetings to appear earlier than has been possible of recent years.
The proposals of the Journal Committee embrace more than an increase in frequency of publication. It has during the past year become apparent that there is a wide demand for the journal from manufacturing firms catering for the industry, technical and scientific libraries, Government departments, and many persons and bodies, chiefly overseas, who for various reasons are not members of the Society. The circulation of the journal has, in fact, quintupled over pre-war figures.
The Journal Committee is anxious to encourage this external circulation, holding the view that it may play a valuable part in extending the work of the Society.
Coincident with the inauguration of monthly publication, certain changes in policy will take effect. While the more frequent publication will enable the proceedings of the Society to be more fully reported than at present, the journal will cease to be devoted exclusively to such proceedings, but will also carry technical papers contributed to the journal, but not delivered to the Society. The Journal Committee will at all times be glad to consider publication of papers which, while of general interest, are not suited for delivery at a meeting, e.g., papers of a mathematical nature.
The widening of scope of the Journal demands a broader title. As from the July issue, the title will be altered to BRITISH KINEMATOGRAPHY
A new design of cover will appear, indicative of the progressive outlook of the Society, without sacrifice of the dignity which characterises the present cover.
It is confidently expected that the new publication will play a valuable part in promoting the advancement of kinematograph technology.
NOTICE TO LIBRARIANS
In view of the change in title, it has been decided that the present volume, Volume 10, shall contain only three issues, of which the present is the last.
