Eve Read MARM

Archive Collections Manager


When did you join HAT?

March 2011

What do you do there?

My role is to catalogue HAT’s fascinating archive collections and make them accessible to researchers. I also manage the Butlin’s Heritage Collection project

What did you want to be when you were younger?

I always knew that I wanted to work with history in some way

What is your favourite ad?

I really like the 2004 ‘Matrioshka’ commercial for Smirnoff vodka by JWT London which references classic spy films and has a catchy Russian themed soundtrack (and we have the original Russian doll model from this great ad at HAT in the JWT collection!)

Tell us something we don’t know about you?

I enjoy foraging for wild mushrooms
