In this paper we wish to introduce the first results on two new projects aimed at detecting emission lines in galaxies at z > 1. There are two primary motivations for doing this: Firstly to try and measure the cosmic star-formation rate at these redshifts. The combination of z < 1 redshift surveys and the discovery of the z ~ 3 Hubble Deep Field ultraviolet dropout objects has led to a ‘first draft’ history of the cosmic SFR (Fig. 1). These results are based on UV continuum fluxes, it is highly desirably to confirm these studies with line diagnostics and extend the work to the redshift of the inferred peak (z ~ 1.5).
