Hollie Piff

I studied English at the University of Exeter and graduated in 2021. After a traineeship and an MA in Archives and Records Management, I became a qualified archivist and worked at the University of Exeter Special Collections for two years before moving to the University of Surrey to work on the archive of E.H. Shepard, the illustrator of Winnie-the-Pooh. I spend my time surrounded by artwork and papers that document nearly one hundred years of history, and every day I learn something new. I love the research, outreach and exhibition work that I do in my current role, and I particularly enjoy working with academics to bring archives to undergraduate and postgraduate students.
