WEBSITE EDITOR: FOR LHF HERITAGE PROJECT: WOMEN FOR WOMEN: 19TH CENTURY WOMEN IN BLOOMSBURY

Our exciting Lottery Heritage Funded project: Women for Women: 19th century women in Bloomsbury explores the challenges women faced accessing education, training and employment. Our website - See Current Projects - shares tributes to these women.

What You'll Do: 
  • cross reference entries to show how women networked, campaigned together and founded societies and institutions for other women.
  • ensure that ‘facts/dates/places agree across entries and, where information is missing, this is identified and added.
  • Typos, spelling mistakes etc are corrected, names standardised etc.
  • suggest ways to make entries more reader friendly
  • conduct research as necessary 
Why You'll Love It: 

 

We can guarantee that you will find the work stimulating as you glimpse a 19th century world. This extraordinary women's history has been overshadowed by the achievements of the  20th century Bloomsbury Group and the suffragettes. You will learn a wealth of social history in an accessible way and be able to use this to inform your knowledge of contemporary debates. This is work you can take pride in as your results will be visible. Check our website: Introduction and Women - Pascal Theatre Company (pascal-theatre.com)

What You'll Learn: 
  • a wealth of social history understanding of the drive, energy and determination that motivated and inspired others in the 19th century and can do so now. 
  • editing skills and experience exploring different questions that need to be answered to make texts uniform, accessible and engaging.
  • the importance of and ways information can be checked for reliability.
  • the need for an organised approach, note taking and good time management to juggle different issues that arise.
What We're Looking For: 

you need to:

  • be a good communicator
  • like to pay close attention to detail and be thorough in your approach to tasks.
  • have a curious mind and really want to tie up loose threads and resolve issues.
  • have an excellent command of English to identify clumsy language and suggest alternatives
  • be able to work independently and manage your time and energy well
