Director of Pedagogy and Outreach, 2015–present; Associate Project Director, 2015–present;
Assistant Project Director, 2013-2014; MoEML Research Fellow, 2013. Kim McLean-Fiander
comes to
The Map of Early Modern London from the
Cultures of Knowledge digital humanities project at the
University of Oxford, where she was the editor of
Early Modern Letters Online, an open-access union catalogue and editorial interface for correspondence from the
sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. She is currently Co-Director of a sister project
to
EMLO called
Women’s Early Modern Letters Online (
WEMLO). In the past, she held an internship with the curator of manuscripts at the
Folger Shakespeare Library, completed a doctorate at
Oxford on paratext and early modern women writers, and worked a number of years for the
Bodleian Libraries and as a freelance editor. She has a passion for rare books and manuscripts as social
and material artifacts, and is interested in the development of digital resources
that will improve access to these materials while ensuring their ongoing preservation
and conservation. An avid traveler, Kim has always loved both London and maps, and
so is particularly delighted to be able to bring her early modern scholarly expertise
to bear on the
MoEML project.
