Apologies for cross posting, please see below an exciting opportunity for a PhD Studentship which is being offered by
HUMSS CDA 2012/13
The studentship will be a collaboration with Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Archive Service.
The successful applicant will research a thesis that explores and compares the impact of the social and economic policies of two major Staffordshire landowning families on the
development of urban working-class communities over the 'long nineteenth century', looking at the relationships between the Leveson Gower family (Dukes of Sutherland from 1833) and the emerging industrial town of Longton (one of the six towns of Stoke-on-Trent)
and between the Bridgemans (Earls of Bradford from 1815) and the industrialising medieval borough of Walsall. In both cases urban expansion occurred mainly on land owned by these families. The Sutherland archive has been well catalogued and publicized following
a campaign to prevent its sale but it has not yet been utilised for these issues, while the study of Walsall will be based on the archives of the
This Collaborative Doctoral Award will provide a student with privileged access to a currently uncatalogued archive, the Bradford Collection. Working from a provisional list of
the solicitors’ papers, forming a significant part of this collection, the student will develop a properly structured, hierarchical catalogue which will be published by the end of the studentship. The student will be given thorough training in the principles
and methods of archival cataloguing. There will also be an opportunity for sustained public engagement by contributing to the Archive Service web-pages, regular 'road-shows' and other events.
