Hello, I’m Dr Megan Gooch, the head of the Centre for Digital Scholarship at the Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford, and Director of the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School. I started out as a coin specialist, and worked at the British Museum and Historic Royal Palaces in curatorial roles. I then branched out into museum learning, working on schools’ programmes, object handling and digital learning at Historic Royal Palaces. I undertook an AHRC-funded research fellowship on audience and staff understandings and experiences of the First World War commemorations at the Tower of London. Since 2019, I’ve led the Centre for Digital Scholarship and worked on projects around research data management, digitisation at scale, and digital skills. I’m a huge coin nerd, and I’ll always find a coin story in what I’m doing – I haven’t seen a new Charles III coin, but I will be very excited when I do.
