Other Database Contributors

Alice Marples (M.A. Hons. History, University of Glasgow and M.A. Early Modern History, King’s College London) completed her Ph.D. in 2016 at King’s College London and the British Library as part of an AHRC-funded project called Reconnecting Sloane: Texts, Images, Objects. She used Sloane’s manuscripts to explore how he used correspondence to fashion his identity, interact with a number of different communities, and build a global network of contributors to his vast collection. She kindly shared some of her research notes on the letters in the database.
