World Records Journal
Subscriber Portal
Some News.
After launching and incubating five volumes of World Records since 2017, the time has come for UnionDocs to step back from our role as publisher of the journal.
We wish the project the best as it transitions to another publisher, and are especially grateful to have had the chance to support the filmmakers, authors and academics that offered their writing, ideas and inquiries to its pages.
Those with subscriptions still have access to your portal with full volume e-books, and pdf downloads here at this link until April 1st. After April 1st, the new publishing team should be in touch with you to provide further access.

Of course there’s much more to come from UnionDocs. Stay tuned!
