Eighteenth-Century Knowledge Work in the Harleian Collection

This project provides an opportunity to work hands-on with one of the richest collections of manuscripts in existence, developing scholarly understanding of how the Harleian Collection came into existence in the wider context of eighteenth-century knowledge work.

The project will be jointly supervised by Prof. Nicholas Seager and Prof. Siobhan Talbott at Keele and by Dr Alice Marples and Dr Alice Zamboni at the British Library.  The student will spend time with both Keele University and the British Library and will become part of the wider cohort of AHRC CDP funded PhD students across the UK.
