Kenneth Hall (1947-2008)

摘要

Kenneth Hall was born on 28 May 1947 and brought up in Liverpool before reading History at the University of Leicester. Among those teaching at Leicester were Norman Scarfe, from whom Ken developed his interest in local history, and Geoffrey Martin, later to become Keeper of the Public Records. It was these two, both keenly committed to archive-based research, together with Geoffrey's wife, Janet, a Bodley-trained archivist, who were to play a key role in shaping Ken's future. Although he had at one stage cherished ideas of pursuing a medical career, he now decided to train for a Diploma in Archive Administration at the University of Wales in Bangor.
