INDEXING
I index texts on the above subjects, and also accept books in other areas at a popular or introductory level of readership.
​
Subject Specialisms (see also Background)
I have indexed a number of Art History texts aimed at the general reader and regularly take courses and visit exhibitions to expand my knowledge. In 2018 I was involved as a subject indexer in the creation of the online Chronicle250 review of the history of the RA Summer Exhibitions produced by the Paul Mellon centre for the Royal Academy. I am interested in women artists, and have indexed five titles in the Modern Women Artists series produced by Eiderdown Books.
​
Indexes are important in children's non-fiction books. As a librarian I taught primary school groups how to use books and indexes and have useful insights which inform how I create indexes for younger children. In addition I have a wide experience of indexing school and vocational textbooks at all levels.
​
I have enjoyed indexing Local History accounts and for many years managed library local history collections. Texts include a history of Ventnor IOW, and the history of Hughes Hall, Cambridge.I am particularly interested in Social History, and have indexed texts on a variety of historical periods. I volunteer with a couple of local heritage projects.
​
Degree level studies in psychology underpin my indexes for psychology and health and well-being texts, and books on education.
​
I have had a lifelong interest and participation in classical singing. Books indexed on various Music topics including music education, music therapy, electronic music, music hall and jazz.
