Popis: Green and Makepeace adopt a biographical approach to explore the myriad ways in which researchers based outside HEIs engage with and use archives. They begin with Green’s experience as an âmateur’ local historian whose research projects exploit local archives. Second, it explores the work of Margaret Makepeace, lead curator for the EIC records at the British Library and a published academic historian who researches family and local history as a hobby. Examination of their engagement with archives and libraries illuminates the often hidden support systems that shape research and a range of ‘access issues’ that need to be addressed if co-production in historical research is to flourish.
