About this item
| Description: |
Emily Dourish is a Deputy Keeper of Rare Books & Early Manuscripts at Cambridge University Library. She submitted her PhD thesis 'Patronage and Politics at Barking Abbey, c.950-c.1200' in 2004.
A copy of Emily's thesis was made onto microfilm for the British Library and subsequently digitized with the generous support of the Arcadia Fund, a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin. This digital version was uploaded to the Apollo Repository in 2018 as part of a project between the British Library and the University of Cambridge Office of Scholarly Communication, and Emily chose to make it open access: https://doi.org/10.17863/CAM.19168 She discusses the process of making her thesis available digitally even though she did not submit an electronic version at the time she completed her PhD, and tells us why she is recommending this route to other Cambridge alumni. This short film was made with the Office of Scholarly Communication to celebrate Open Access Week 2018. |
