Mark Dorrington arrives as new Keeper
I am very pleased to have started work this week as the new Keeper of Manuscripts and Special Collections in succession to Dorothy Johnston. I have 30 years’ experience in local authority and ecclesiastical archives and libraries. My most recent post was as Team Manager for Archives and Local Studies with Nottinghamshire County Council, running Nottinghamshire Archives for the last 10 years. I am now looking forward to working with the wonderful collections entrusted to the care of the University of Nottingham and getting to know the owners and users of collections and my new colleagues.
I am sure I will meet some of the readers of this blog over the next few weeks but if you want to raise anything with me please do not hesitate to get in touch at mark.dorrington@nottingham.ac.uk

My friend Peter Foden suggested I ask you for permission to make copies of documents MiD 608 to 614 (ten docs) for the East Leake & District Local History Society, of which I am chairman. These docs are invaluable for creating a picture of our village in the 14th century.
Apologies if this is an inappropriate approach, and thanking you in advance for your time and attention.
Hello Keith, thanks for commenting. We will email you about your copying request once we’ve checked the documents. In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can get in touch with us at mss-library@nottingham.ac.uk
