@mills_sarah @radar @lborogeog Great to know you're still so keen on Marion Richardson's work - do you need to visit @BCU_ada again?

@WHN_WM @WomensHistNet @WomensHistBham Sorry, we don't have images of either woman @BCU_ada. But there are references to Mary Newill's work & career in our minute books if anyone is researching her.

@BCUEnglish Great to see this kind of collaboration between artists and story tellers - wonder if there's any scope for creative writing students to utilise our own collections for inspiration?
