He began his data collection and research using the student registration cards which were produced for every incoming student trainee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jack said about his work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I first learnt about the Edge Hill University Archive from my creative writing lecturer, who told me that my creative piece regarding a mysterious door on campus would be of interest to them. Fast forward six-or-so months and I\u2019m currently on a 20-week internship working at the archive! My job is to catalogue the early students\u2019 index cards (before doing deeper research using other online databases as well as a range of records we have internally). I have encountered many questions on the cards already; there are codes and acronyms yet to be deciphered, overseas students, missing cards, illegible handwriting, and gaps to be filled. The experience I\u2019m gaining from the internship is so valuable to me, but my work with the cards is creatively fulfilling, too. I see the cards as miniature biographies, and much like a writer will do with their characters, this is a process, first and foremost, about working out and uncovering the lives of past students.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"677\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.edgehill.ac.uk\/researchcatalyst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/345\/2022\/07\/Research-1024x677.jpg\" alt=\"Edge Hill College girls standing in the gymnasium\" class=\"wp-image-156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.edgehill.ac.uk\/researchcatalyst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/345\/2022\/07\/Research-1024x677.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.edgehill.ac.uk\/researchcatalyst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/345\/2022\/07\/Research-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.edgehill.ac.uk\/researchcatalyst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/345\/2022\/07\/Research-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.edgehill.ac.uk\/researchcatalyst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/345\/2022\/07\/Research-1200x794.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sites.edgehill.ac.uk\/researchcatalyst\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/345\/2022\/07\/Research.jpg 1368w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The funding for an intern to work in the archive was obtained by a successful bid to the Edge Hill Institute for Social Responsibility <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/research\/isr\/\">https:\/\/www.edgehill.ac.uk\/research\/isr\/<\/a> &#8211; Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Throughout the summer of 2022 a very able and enthusiastic intern was working in the Edge Hill Archive!
