Dr Jan Broadway

Technical Director

As the Technical Director Jan is responsible for providing the technical core of the Centre and ensuring that the infrastructure required to support the Centre's projects is in place. She provides technical advice and support to projects and develops the tools and documentation they require to support their research. She also acts as a consultant to external projects, which require assistance with the technical aspects of their research.

After completing a B.A. in Medieval and Modern History at the University of Birmingham in 1983, Jan worked for a decade as a software engineer in the field of real-time programming. She returned to Birmingham to research her Ph.D. in 'Antiquarianism in the Midlands and the Development of County History 1586-1656' (1997). Since then her career has been divided between a variety of academic work and software development for the private sector. Jan joined CELL in 2002.

In 2006 Jan published No Historie so meete: Gentry Culture and the Development of Local History in Elizabethan and Early Stuart England. She is currently working on a biography of the seventeenth-century herald and scholar Sir William Dugdale.
