I have extensive experience researching in archives across the UK, especially working with modern government records, archives of campaigning organisations and trade unions, and business records. I am particularly well-located for archives in London and south-east England and am willing to consider work in collections held further afield. I can offer the following services:
HISTORICAL RESEARCH IN ARCHIVES
Send me with a list of questions, a list of files you want me to consult, or the records you’d like an overview of and I can undertake the research for you.
PHOTOGRAPHY OF DOCUMENTS
Already identified the files you want to see, but can’t get to the archives yourself? I can go and photograph the documents on your behalf.*
RESEARCH IN DIGITISED SOURCES
Need biographical research from the census, the 1939 register, or about coverage of particular stories/themes in newspapers – and don’t have the time or access? You can commission me to work on this for you.
*Supplying digital photographs of documents will be subject to the policies of individual archives and repositories.
Want to discuss your requirements further? Please contact me and let’s discuss how I can help.
Rates will vary depending on the exact nature and complexity of the research task and the estimated length of time. You can contact me for a non-obligation video call or discussion via email.
