HANNAH STAMP - ARCHIVIST & ARTIST 📜 As an Archivist I am passionate about collaboration, outreach, and both traditional and digital engagement. I specialise in opening up collections for access, learning, and heritage-based experiences that reach diverse audiences. I enjoy using historic collections to connect new and existing audiences with heritage through innovative methods and collaboration. I have presented at national and regional conferences, designed and delivered learning workshops for children and adults, and served as a project board member for a national initiative led by The National Archives. 🎨 For many years I have been producing artwork inspired by my local area, history, folklore and things that have piqued my interest whilst studying Art History, Cultural Heritage and Archives. I work predominantly with lino printing, enjoying bringing stories to life with each carving.
