She is a Trustee of the MOA and an Honorary Professor of History at the University of Sussex. Early life and studiesDorothy Elizabeth Sheridan was born in Galway, on the west coast of Ireland, but moved to the Yorkshire Dales when she was two.[1] She grew up there in cottages with outside toilets and no running water. Her parents were active campaigners in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and took Sheridan to demonstrations and protests. At school, Sherdian obtained eight O-levels and four A-levels. She then went to Brighton in 1967, where she studied Sociology at the University of Sussex.[2] Mass Observation ArchiveTom Harrisson offered Sheridan a temporary job in 1974, working to establish the Mass Observation papers as a history resource.[3] This job became permanent, with Sheridan acting as the first archivist.[3] She performed a variety of jobs there, beginning by labelling boxes and telephoning Harrisson with updates and moving on to develop and promote the archive. In 1976, Harrisson had given her money to buy a car and learn to drive so that she could chauffeur him when he visited, but he died before this happened so she purchased a motorbike instead.[1]In 1981, Sheridan co-founded the launch of the contemporary phase of Mass Observation, the Mass Observation Project that collects new material about everyday life.[4] Sheridan became Director of the MOA in 1990.[2] She acted as researcher and consultant on the digital resources developing from the archive, and had to adjust to tasks such as electronic research support, which she found challenging.[1] In 2010, Sheridan retired from her role as Director, but continued her involvement as a Trustee of the MOA.[5] PublicationsSheridan has written and co-authored a number of books, largely involving Mass Observation materials.
Other rolesSheridan became the Head of Special Collections at Sussex in 2000, working in this role until retiring in 2008.[2] Sheridan is an advisor to the National Life Stories project at the British Library and acted as consultant on the "Observing the Eighties" project, which brought together materials from the Life Stories and MOA.[7][8][9] Sheridan was a member of the management committee of community publishing group QueenSpark Books between 1996 and 2010, and continues to be involved in their work as a patron.[10] Honours and awardsSheridan received an MBE in 1991.[10] She was also elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.[5] The Open University awarded Sheridan an honorary doctorate, which she described as her "career high" in 2007.[1] In 2011, the University of Sussex made Sheridan a 50th Anniversary Fellow. She is also an Honorary Professor at the University, where she co-founded the Life History Research Centre.[5] Sheridan is Visiting Professor at the University of Brighton, where she is on the advisory board of the Centre for Memory, History and Narratives.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/money/2007/jun/02/careers.work4|title=The archivist Dorothy Sheridan: Come file with me|last=Arnot|first=Chris|date=2007-06-02|work=The Guardian|access-date=2017-10-03|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Sheridan, Dorothy}}{{authority control}}2. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=http://m.sussex.ac.uk/fiftyyears/fiftyvoices/iframe.php?id=43|title=50 Years: Dorothy Sherdian|last=|first=|date=2011|website=University of Sussex|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.massobs.org.uk/podcasts/161-memories-and-reflections-dorothy-sheridan-and-lucy-noakes-in-conversation|title=Memories and reflections - Dorothy Sheridan and Lucy Noakes in conversation|last=Williams|first=Joe|website=www.massobs.org.uk|language=en-gb|access-date=2017-10-03}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Mass Observation Project|url=http://www.massobs.org.uk/about/mass-observation-project|website=Mass Observation|publisher=Mass Observation|accessdate=3 October 2017|language=en-gb}} 5. ^1 2 3 {{Cite web|url=http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/staff/dorothy-sheridan-mbe|title=Dorothy Sheridan MBE|last=|first=|date=|website=University of Brighton: Arts and Culture|language=en-gb|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2017-10-03}} 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Sheridan|first1=Dorothy|title=The Mass Observation Archive: A History|url=http://www.massobservation.amdigital.co.uk/FurtherResources/Essays/TheMassObservationArchiveAHistory|website=Mass Observation Online|publisher=Adam Matthew Digital|accessdate=3 October 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=National Life Stories|url=https://www.bl.uk/projects/national-life-stories|website=The British Library|accessdate=3 October 2017|language=en}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Observing the 80s|url=http://blogs.sussex.ac.uk/observingthe80s/|website=University of Sussex Blogs|publisher=University of Sussex|accessdate=3 October 2017|language=en}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=People: Centre for the History of War and Society : University of Sussex|url=http://www.sussex.ac.uk/chws/people|website=University of Sussex|accessdate=3 October 2017}} 10. ^1 2 {{cite web|last1=Dennett|first1=Melita|title=Meet QueenSpark Books' patron Dorothy Sheridan|url=http://archive.queensparkbooks.org.uk/page/384.html|website=QueenSpark Books|accessdate=3 October 2017}} 6 : 1948 births|Living people|British archivists|Female archivists|Alumni of the University of Sussex|Members of the Order of the British Empire |
