The Black Archive

The Black Archive is a series of critical monographs about selected individual Doctor Who stories, from the series' earliest history to the present day. Rather than focusing on behind-the-scenes production history as much Doctor Who fan scholarship has done, the series aims to analyse and explore the stories as broadcast.

The series' editing team is led by Philip Purser-Hallard, along with Stuart Douglas and Paul Simpson, and published by Obverse Books. It is named after the Black Archive, a museum of alien artefacts first seen in Enemy of the Bane.
