General Experience
I have been indexing since the 1980s and have been shortlisted three times for the Wheatley Medal for indexing. I have a Cambridge honours degree in archaeology and art history. I mainly index journals but occasionally take on book indexes in my specialist subjects if the deadlines are not too tight.
Subjects
I have many years of experience in indexing archaeological monographs and periodicals. I am the regular indexer for the international journal Post-Medieval Archaeology and for the county journals Sussex Archaeological Collections and Proceedings of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society.
The history of art and architecture was my final degree subject and I have indexed a wide range of books in this field, from monographs on Piero di Cosimo and Gabriel Metsu to studies of railway station and prison architecture. I am the regular indexer for the journals Vernacular Architecture and Journal of the British Archaeological Association.
I have much experience in indexing UK local history, with particular expertise on Sussex, London and Cambridgeshire.
