My research essay for the first summer of the undergraduate scholarship. I thoroughly enjoyed researching this topic and increasing people's knowledge of local history in the process! Thanks to everyone who completed my survey and supported me throughout.

I'm a third year History student at the University of York, with an interest in archives and public history. Improving the accessibility of history is of great importance to me, both in terms of access to resources and the historical narrative. I've had experience in archives ranging from the Cambridge Arts Theatre, dating from 1934, to St Peter's School, York, which dates back to 627 AD. Whilst at the Arts Theatre I also received accredited training from the Oral History Society, which I have since been able to apply to other oral history community projects.
