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 is edited by Philip Purser-Hallard and published by Obverse Books. It is named after the Black Archive, a museum of alien artefacts first seen in Enemy of the Bane.
