PhD students who would like to be considered for a place should email John Irving, Director of the IMR (John.Irving@sas.ac.uk) providing (1) an outline of your PhD research; (2) an explanation of how your work would benefit from the opportunity to spend a day working with manuscript specialists on items from the BL collections. This will help tutors provide relevant material for the workshop. Priority will be given to applicants whose work on 20th-century British music relates directly to the BL's holdings.
