Peter Webster

Researcher, consultant, managing director

Consulting / Advisory

I’m an historian based in Chichester (West Sussex, UK), with interests in the history of Christianity in twentieth century Britain, particularly the relation of church, law and state, and the religious arts. I work at the interface of historical scholarship with digital technologies, with particular interests in digital history, web archiving and digital curation, and Open Access publishing (repositories and journals). During the working day I am managing director of Webster Research and Consulting Ltd, understanding what users need from digital resources, and working with technologists to meet those needs. For libraries, archives, learned societies and researchers.
