AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award
Alannah Tomkins, Senior Lecturer in History, and Nigel Tringham, Senior Lecturer in History and editor of the Victoria County History of Staffordshire, have secured an AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award to support a studentship on 'Staffordshire landed estates and the development of urban communities in the long nineteenth century'.
The studentship will be a collaboration with Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent and Archive Service and will explore and compare the impact of the social and economic policies of two major Staffordshire landowning families on the development of urban working-class communities over the 'long nineteenth century'. This Collaborative Doctoral Award will provide a student with privileged access to a currently uncatalogued collection, rigorous training in the principles and methods of archival cataloguing, and the opportunity for sustained public engagement through the Staffordshire Archive's web-pages, regular 'road-shows' and other events.
