Meet The Team
In February 2017, the MA Archives and Records Management students at UCL were given the task of creating a small online exhibition from a given collection of archival material. As a group of four, we were allocated the Isabel Fry collection at the IOE Archive.
On viewing the collection, we found that a large portion of the collection was made up of Isabel Fry’s personal diaries, documenting her day-to-day life. From this the name of our collection was adopted: Isabel Fry: The Everyday Life of an Extraordinary Woman.
We wanted to take a biographical approach to our exhibition, exploring her life through a series of moments. We decided to achieve this by splitting them in to three main themes which appear to have had a large impact on Isabel’s life: Education, Travel, and her friendships with other Strong Women.
