Fantastic to have Lewis and his lovely family in the archive this morning! Hugely grateful for his contribution to the oral history interviews about Agnes Owens's life and legacy.
Really special to welcome Lewis, Agnes’s grandson, to the archive today with partner Kat and Agnes’s great granddaughter, Freya. Lewis was really generous in allowing our @sgsah.bsky.social researcher, Laura MacDonald, to interview and map his memories of Agnes as a much loved grandmother ❤️

A momentous day yesterday… our SGSAH CDA student Laura MacDonald’s first oral history interview with Agnes’s son @gentleman-of-west.bsky.social
It’s thanks to John we are fortunate to host Agnes’s archive and it’s a real privilege to work with him on bringing her work to wider attention.
