Skills, Knowledge & Experience

I'm currently head of Library Research Support.

I've worked with digital humanities and cultural heritage collections in universities, museums, galleries, archives and libraries for the past ten years, with an emphasis on metadata, standards, interoperability, digital preservation and conservation.

Interests

As a parallel acivity, I make experimental film works which explore our relationship to places, these are delivered via film festival or gallery installation. One of these was nominated for a BIFA in 2006 and another awarded a Red Mansion residency in China in 2003. My work formed part of the John Martin Exhibiton at Tate Britain in 2011.

I have a great interest in writers of ghostly 19th century fiction and run an M.R. James site, just for fun.
