46 mins

Episode Description

This episode's guest is Laura Yeoman, Access and Digital Engagement Archivist at the Borthwick Institute for Archives at the University of York; along with the newly anointed DOCTOR Helena Cox, PhD (Ebor); and Gary Brannan, who has none of those things.

Laura discusses archives, access to collections, and her joyful love of the art of Scottish Artist Joan Eardley. We also discuss potential death by PhD, and an insight into the sort of bickering that 26 miles of walking can give you.


Laura's favourite work from the University Art Collection
