It aims to create cross-border research projects and to explore the distinctive aspects of public relations’ history across the continent. More than 30 academics and practitioners from 12 countries are founding members of EPRHN. They have come together to produce a record of public relations archives. The first edition was published in January 2013. Further editions will follow: EPRHN Archive Record (January 2013)
