Introducing: In Search of Ann Walker (on Tumblr!)
Hello everyone, we are In Search of Ann Walker! We are a collaborative group of people, interested in bringing to light details of Ann Walker’s life, some of which are buried deep in the archives. Our aim is to bring Ann Walker out of the shadows so she can act as an inspiration for others. We are also focused on building a lasting legacy for Ann, ensuring she finds her rightful place in history.
Our work includes transcription, historical research, archival analysis, and education on the life of Ann Walker. We are a volunteer-run group and are passionate about spreading the word on who Ann was.
Some of our projects include our Ann Walker Booklet detailing a summary of her life, Comparing the Ann(e)s a side-by-side comparison on diary entries by Ann Walker and Anne Lister, and Common Myths Busted where we discuss misinformation about Ann Walker and the truth about her as we know it.
If you're a fan of archives, historical English research, LGBTQIA+ history, and of course Gentleman Jack and Anne Lister's diaries, then we think you'll like what we have to share. You're welcome to follow along as we continue our journey #SearchingForAnn.
