Curator’s doctoral research on Anne Lister

Kirsty McHugh, Curator of the Archive & Publishers’ Collections, is undertaking a PhD at the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies. Her research on manuscript journals of tourists to Scotland and Wales in the Romantic period includes working on the diaries of Anne Lister. Anne Lister, the subject of this year’s television series Gentleman Jack, recorded her life as a lesbian and landowner in her four-million-word journals now preserved by West Yorkshire Archive Service.

Kirsty has painstakingly interpreted Lister’s tiny abbreviated script and coded entries and will shortly publish ‘Sightseeing, social climbing, steamboats and sex: Anne Lister’s 1828 tour of Scotland’ in Studies LQ7UDYHO:ULWLQJ DQLQWHUQDWLRQDO UHIHUHHGMRXUQDO 7KLVZLOOEHWKH ¿UVWVWXG\RI/LVWHU¶V6FRWWLVKWRXU – a fascinating section of her diaries, which is not only interesting in the context of the history of tourism, EXWVLJQL¿FDQWLQXQGHUVWDQGLQJKHU relationship with Scottish aristocrat Sibella Maclean.

In autumn 2018, we held a competition for students and recent graduates of design courses (such as fashion or textile design) in Scotland.

Called ‘Re-Fashioned’, the competition invited entrants to produce a creative response to 100 years of social, political and cultural change since the Armistice, tying in with our major exhibition – A Better World? Scotland after the First World War.

Submissions went on display at our George IV Bridge building the following January. Judges – drawn mostly from the fashion industry – were unanimous in selecting the winner – Brian McLysaght, who is studying Fashion at the University of Edinburgh. Rosie Baird, who is studying Fashion at Edinburgh College Conservation students gain work experience of Art, was the winner of the People’s Choice Award.
