Kingston University is delighted to announce it has been awarded two projects in the latest round of places in the Creativeworks researcher in residence scheme which enables a doctoral student or early career academic researcher to do a short-term work placement with a company from within London's creative economy.
Robert Knifton, a post doctoral rsearcher in the Faculty of Art, Design & Architecture will work with the Helen Storey Foundation (HSF) – a not-for-profit arts organisation – which is seeking to catalogue its extensive and unique archive for educational and public use online.
The work will involve organising, digitising, mobilising and maximising HSF archives – to make this material accessible and available for public exhibitions and events with an educational component.

Katherine Appleford, a lecturer in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences will work with The Sorrell Foundation – an organisation dedicated to inspiring creativity in young people.
The work will involve assessing the impact of the National Art & Design Saturday Club on young people, institutions and industry.
