My wife, Hannah Lowery, who has died of cancer aged 54, was an archivist at many academic institutions and, for more than 26 years, was employed by the University of Bristol.
Hannah was valued by researchers and colleagues for her encyclopedic knowledge of, and dedication to, the university’s diverse archival collections, which include papers of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, the Feminist South archive, a large collection of electoral addresses and the Penguin and Puffin Book archives.
