General Experience

Indexing since 1994 on a wide range of subjects in the arts/humanities area, with art as my main subject in recent years. As well as the subjects below in the past year I have indexed books on elves and fairies in Europe and a history of the guitar in Victorian England. I do some proofreading too and have a working knowledge of French and German.
