Description

This is the audio version of the blog post 'Agnes Conway 1885–1950'. The post was written by John Ramsey, a digitisation project volunteer, and was first published on 20 March 20. The audio version is read by Amanda Roberts.

In this blog, John delves into the memoires of Agnes Conway, daughter of Martin Conway, founder of the Conway Library at the Courtauld Institute of Art. Agnes was a trailblazer in many senses: founding an important women's collection in what is now the Imperial War Museum, and travelling widely visiting archaeological sites with Evelyn Radford, a friend from university, and her husband, George Horsfield.
