- About Me
I am a former rare-book cataloguer and current visiting assistant professor and outreach librarian at Illinois Wesleyan University. Since 2013, I have been researching and further reconstructing the life and library of Frances Wolfreston (1607–1677). I am also interested in early modern women’s book ownership and early English printed books.
