Barbara Jones – Lloyd’s Register Foundation
Barbara Jones, Curator of Maritime History and Heritage, has spent most of her career working for Lloyd's Register Foundation. She is currently in midst of an ambitious project to digitize their large collection of survey reports and plans of maritime vessels, estimated to be around 1.25 million documents. As well as providing an in-depth catalog of the minute details of shipbuilding since the 19th century, there are some treasures to be found in the stacks, including intricate plans, early photos of damaged vessels, and top-secret Soviet records.
