    Photography for history’s sake: the Military History and Information Section in the Middle East 1941-1942
    van der Plank, Samuel ( 2014)
    This thesis explores the creation, objectives and operation of the Military History and Information Section (MH&IS) in the Middle East from August 1941 to mid-1942. It compares the MH&IS to equivalent official war photographic organisations in Britain and the United States, and considers the photographic results of the MH&IS in the Middle East. The concept of historical record photography held by its leader, John Treloar, is evaluated according to a set of themes.

    Dempsey, Carolyn Teresa ( 2014)
    In the 19th and 20th centuries, British travellers began to explore Albania and publish their impressions of the country.
