Historic Flooding and Drought in Staffordshire

The Historic Flooding and Drought in Staffordshire project was a collaboration between the University of Liverpool and the Staffordshire Record Office, run by two PhD students from the University of Liverpool, Alice and Helen. Alice’s project looked at historic records of drought, Helen’s project looked at historic records of flooding.

Between 2017 and 2018 we ran a volunteer project at the Staffordshire Record Office. You can read more about this project on our Volunteer Project page, or by looking at our Blog posts.

Alice is now working on an AHRC/UK Climate Resilience project ‘CLANDAGE‘ and, with the Staffordshire Archive and Heritage team, will be organising events and collecting memories of past weather extremes in 2021 and 2022.
