For the next three days I’ll be in London. Today, I’m in the Action on Hearing Loss (UCL) library which is hidden inside an Ear Hospital near King’s Cross Station. It has loads of Deaf history material, which I can use for the St Saviour’s project.
Historians used to spend a lot more time in archives than they do now – the use of digital cameras means that I can now take photos of all of the records (that aren’t still under copyright) and then look at them back home.
Depending on how I get on here today, I’ll be at the London Metropolitan Archive tomorrow.
