Rachel Nordstrom has announced that she will be leaving her post as Photographic Collections Manager at the University of St Andrews, at the end of May. She has been at St Andrews for nine years and was appointed to her current role in 2015.
Rachel has accepted a post at Historic Environment Scotland as Operations Manager for their National Collection of Aerial Photography. This is a fascinating collection which spans nearly 100 years and holds not only all declassified aerial reconnaissance from WWII onwards, but land surveys dating back to the 1920s from across Europe, along with commonwealth surveys from around the world. As she notes "with over 30 million photos there will be lots for me to do!"
She joins on 15 June and can be contact from that date at: Rachel.Nordstorm@hes.scot
During her time at St Andrews Rachel has raised the profile of the photography holdings at St Andrews and was instrumental in realising the St Andrews photography festival and associated conferences https://www.standrewsphotographyfestival.com/
