People – New Appointments

In September 2018, two new appointments were made at the OCMCH.

Public Engagement Officer – Daniel Reed

Daniel has ten years’ professional experience in regional archives services, and was previously Assistant Archivist at the OCMCH. Having graduated from the University of Hull in 2008, Daniel is currently studying towards a PhD in History at Oxford Brookes University. His published research includes studies of early regional newspapers in Britain, the Anglican Church in the eighteenth-century, and the life and works of the author Laurence Sterne. Daniel was also selected as a Georgian Papers Programme Fellow for 2016-2017.

Digitisation Officer – Thomas Dobson

Also joining the team is Thomas Dobson, who will be working on our upcoming digital collections. Thomas graduated in History from UWTSD Lampeter in July 2018. There, he organised an exhibit on the history of Welsh rugby, and presented a paper on the importance of medieval churches in the modern world.

Daniel and Thomas will be working with other Centre staff to bring the historical collections of the OCMCH to wider attention, and make these valuable research resources more accessible to our users.
