Profile
I am a historian of printing and the book trade, with a special
interest in the book trade in Kent in the eighteenth century. I also
have a strong interest in the development of the Cathedral Library in
Canterbury since 1600 (https://cclprovenance.djshaw.co.uk/).
I am a volunteer at the Cathedral Archives and Library. At the British
Library I am an honorary member of staff working on the ESTC project. I
am also a trustee of Canterbury Archaeological Trust. Currently I am
working on a study of the role of the London and regional stationers in
supplying administrative form for the administration of the Poor Law in
the eighteenth century.
