Dear Colleagues
I am sorry to pass on the news that Jean Wait (Lewisham Borough Archivist) died in St Joseph's Hospice, Hackney on Saturday 30 April. She was 55.
Prior to Lewisham Jean was employed at Hackney Archives from c1973 and before that at Leicestershire RO. She qualified from the Aberystwyth course having gained her first degree from St Ann's, Oxford.
Jean's sister will be organising a commemorative event - probably at Sutton House (Hackney) - details to follow.
