Dear Fernando, Paul, Mary and List A fascinating topic and i won't repeat in full here the recent DRHA conference call (see http://www.dartington.ac.uk/drha06/index.asp if not familiar, Sept 3-6) but it will be loosely based on a "past", "present", "future" structure so I hope some/several research presentations (and one keynote) will be in this first category.... Ah the romanticism of it all... In terms of direct help (or perhaps more indirect help as "promotions" and "mentions" rather than "commercials" per se) to your project the Barbican (London) had a retro exhibition of games' machines in 1998 and the effective catalogue was "re:play" (Liz Faber, published by Laurence King UK) which has some excellent reproductions of graphics from a wide selection of both console and Net-based games. In that latter context "Atlas of Cyberspace" (Martin Dodge and Rob Kitchin, published by Addison-Wesley (UK) 2001 included (Ch 3) Mapping the Web. Perha[s of more immediate interest (and access) if you're more interested in post WW2 images of British-back-to-being-housewives women lovingly stocking up their new fridges or doing the vacuum cleaning with gusto, sites like the Google (beta) Video archive at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2207857877868779946&q=housewife might prove interesting. Also Macfilms claims to locate 624 TV ads from the 1950s and 60s - everything from new gadgets to blood donations - see http://www.macfilms.com/TV%20Ads%20TOC.htm And don't forget the conference!:-) b.
