Congratulations to the LSM team for being highly commended in the category of ‘Achievement in Research’ for its ‘Midlands on Film’ series. It was a collaborative research project between the Lincoln School of Media (LSM) and the Media Archive for Central England (MACE).

The University of Lincoln 2013 Team Achievement Awards gave top research recognition to those involved in the collection of nine DVDs – each captured the history of a city or place in the Midlands.

Head of LSM, Sarah Barrow: “Many thanks to Andy McKay for managing the project as well as creating 3 of the DVDs himself – ‘Nottinghamshire on Film’ ‘Derbyshire on Film’, and ‘Worcestershire on Film’ – and to all the DVD creative directors: Zara Healy for ‘Rebuilding Coventry’, Janice Kearns with ‘Footprints in the Sand’, Neil Kendall’s ‘Shropshire Lives’, Mike Mason for ‘Regenerating Birmingham’, Emily Wilczek on ‘Snobs & Clowns’ and Radica Wright’s ‘Made in Leicester’. Also to those who gave huge support with editing and sound, in particular Steve Young, Andy Armstrong, Chris Hainstock and Ronnie Fowler. Finally, thanks to James Patterson who as well as being Director of MACE is also a member of LSM staff.”
