Naomi works with colleagues across the Library to develop research projects and collaborations with partners organisations.

She is the Research Development lead for the following areas in the Library:

Naomi also coordinates the Coleridge Fellowship for Library staff, and the Library's involvement in our joint doctoral fellowships with the National Trust.

Before joining the British Library in 2020, Naomi was a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the John Rylands Research Institute, University of Manchester, where she was involved in a variety of research collaborations, including co-founding the Manchester Centre for Correspondence Studies. She previously held research roles at the Diocese of Chichester and King’s College London.

Naomi’s doctoral research focused on the figure of Christ in the art of William Blake, and she has since researched and published on topics including William Blake, twentieth century ecclesiastical art, and biblical painting and illustration in late eighteenth century Britain.
