About me

I work with The Women’s Library and Hall-Carpenter Archives, two large collections that contain campaigns for equality and rights. I seek out interesting and informative stories and bring them to a wider audience. I research the collections for new exhibitions, blogs and articles. I talk about the collections and share the archives with groups that visit. I support projects that use these collections. I organise events related to the collections. I answer lots of enquiries.

Do get in touch if you'd like to show archives to your students or are generally interested in history.

Find out about The Women's Library and the Hall-Carpenter Archives in our collection highlights, ,  and past exhibitions.
