Gareth Cole

Open Research Development and Discovery Lead (Library and information studies not elsewhere classified; British history)

Loughborough

I am the Open Research Development and Discovery Lead at Loughborough University. I have a PhD in Maritime History from the University of Exeter. I am interested in open research and supporting researchers in opening up their work. I also conduct research on the British State in the long Eighteenth Century and am currently working on the roles and careers of clerks and other administrative staff in the Office of Ordnance.

I am a member of the Open Book Futures research project where I am investigating the preservation of open access books.
