As well as overseeing preservation practice, I advise government audience on the preparation aspects of transfer and over the past year, have worked with the Archive Sector Leadership department and voluntary editors to produce guidance on the identification, management, and treatment of mould in archival collections.

After attending my first ARA conference this year, I was motivated to find different ways to connect with colleagues across the sector and responded to a call for volunteers.
