  1. #Introduction

    I work as the Community Outreach Officer for the Welsh Dictionary of Biography, more collquially called the #Bywgraffiadur, at the #NationalLibraryOfWales. Our goal is to close representational gaps and set the Dictionary on a course of recording the diverse lives of historical Welsh people in all their facets. biography.wales/

    Otherwise, I'm working on #WelshWritingInEnglish mostly from the long #C19, so there is lots of overspill into #RomanticLit and #EdwardianLit, #CulturalHeritage and #History of this small nation. Other research interests include #TravelWriting, particularly illustrated accounts and the history of the #VisitorsBook. For recent projects, I've undertaken some #PublicHistory work and community outreach about #PortHeritage, #WW1 German submarine warfare and its effects on Welsh communities.

    I share longer #WorkInProgress on my blog: bydbach.hcommons.org/

    Toots will be mostly in #English, but occasionally also in #Deutsch and #Cymraeg.

  2. #Introduction

    I'm a PostDoctoral researcher at #AberystwythUniversity working currently for the #PortsPastAndPresent project. For this project I have just produced a series of short documentary films around #CoastalHeritage of the #IrishSea (youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrS) as a new way of supporting #SustainableTourism in ferry port communities.

I've also done some #PublicHistory work and community outreach during the recent #CommemorationPeriod around #WW1 German submarine warfare and its effects on Welsh communities.
