About
I am a librarian at the University of Leicester supporting research in the humanities and social sciences. I develop open access publishing services and collections, including:
I also have an interest in digital humanities and historical GIS. My open Zotero group for History and GIS can be found
here.
I trained as a historian and work on the economy and society of eighteenth-century Britain. I have published on the silk industry in London, smuggling and the fiscal-military state. With Tim Reinke-Williams (Northampton) I am working on a study of apprentice migration from Wales, Scotland and Ireland to early modern London.
I am book reviews editor of
Local Population Studies and a committee member of
CILIP Local Studies Group.
