We’re thrilled to be collaborating with this year’s and the University of York!

🍁 Unearthing Herbal Histories with Digital Archives 🍁

Throughout history, women have been the caregivers and healers of their communities — custodians of wellbeing and connection. Yet, many of their names and contributions have been lost to time. This immersive herbal crafting workshop invites you to rediscover their stories through the lens of digital archives, exploring how archaeological records of plant remains from York, preserved by the Archaeology Data Service and Heritage Science Data Service, reveal the deep relationship between women, healing, and the natural world.

I will be there in my role as
