About Helena Sanderson: Adventures in History
I'm a genealogist, oral historian, local history researcher and heritage creative practitioner based in the heart of north west England. My research areas are the historic counties of Lancashire, Westmorland and Cumberland.
I've been a genealogist for over twenty years and have an MA in History. I administer oral history projects in Lancashire and the Lake District, I researched the Industrial Revolution in the Scottish Borders for a year long project, and have recently completed an investigation into the Woods farming family of Haslingden, Lancashire.
I've written scripts for augmented realities, present oral history workshops, given talks and presentations about the people and places I've researched. What has happened in the past is what enthralls me in the present.
