Victoria Stevens MA ACR FIIC

Victoria has worked in written heritage collections for over 25 years, mainly as a library and archive conservator and collections care adviser but latterly as a learning and engagement lead, a perfect complement to her overall collections work. In 2023 she was awarded a Fellowship of the International Institute of Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works.  A proud advocate for the heritage profession, she not only serves as a Trustee of the National Manuscripts Conservation Trust but also as an Arts Council Museum accreditation mentor and an Institute of Conservation accreditation assessor. 

Research interests

Victoria's research interests are centred around material change in written heritage and the concept of damage having meaning. She was awarded the Institute of Conservation's Frederick Bearman Research Grant in 2023 to develop her interest in the material repair methods used in the library collections of several Jesuit-influenced female religious houses in the UK.
