Research

As an award-winning historian and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, I offer an exceptionally high level of research expertise grounded in years of scholarly and professional experience. I am a highly skilled and meticulous researcher, with the ability to locate, interpret, and analyse complex historical material with precision and insight. I can work with archival sources and secondary literature from the Middle Ages to the present day in English, Welsh, Latin, and French. This linguistic range allows me to access a wide breadth of material and uncover sources that might otherwise remain unexplored.

All research services can be tailored to meet the specific needs, scale, and audience of your project. Depending on your scope and requirements, a research package can include in-depth archival research across the UK and internationally, comprehensive source references and bibliographies, lists of relevant images and visual material, and findings reports. Outputs can take a variety of forms, from concise briefing documents to scholarly articles and books suitable for academic or commercial publication.

Please contact me to discuss how my research expertise can support and strengthen your project, including funding bids, public engagement, interpretation, and exhibitions.
