Rare Books Professional
As a rare books professional, I have a decade of experience working in trade and Special Collections in the U.S. and U.K. Within academic libraries, I have held post as the Rare Books Cataloguer at Pembroke College, Cambridge, and have contributed a catalogue records for medieval manuscripts to the University of Kentucky, Yale, and the John Rylands Library. I served as a Critical Friend on the Portico Library's National Lottery Heritage Fund grant, People, Purpose, and Place in Historic Books, to expand accessibility to the folklore collection and I have acted as a freelance cataloguer to members of the rare books trade since 2017.
Since 2019, I have been developing my own rare and antiquarian bookstore, Mobilis Books, and have exhibited my self-curated stock at rare book fairs in London, Oxford, Cambridge, Harrogate, and York.
I established Mobilis Books in 2019 in Bloomington, Indiana. We specialize in the acquisition, cataloguing and sales of medieval manuscripts, medievalism, and interstingly illustrated books from the 15th to 19th centuries.
We've placed material institutionally into the Lambeth Palace Library (Church of England) and Kew Gardens, and sent books to private collectors in New Zealand, Japan, and across Europe and North America.
