I promote collections that relate to equality and rights and I work mainly with The Women’s Library and the Hall-Carpenter Archives. My background is in archives and I now focus on the outward-facing work of being an archivist.
I organise various engagement activities which draw on The Women’s Library and the Hall-Carpenter Archives. These range from curating public exhibitions, planning events and talks and holding workshops for people to experience the material we hold. We welcome researchers, students, teachers, community groups, activists and the media to use our collections.
