“Γεια σας! My name is Olivia McPhee and I am a recent Classics graduate from Scotland. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Ancient History from the University of Edinburgh in 2022, and have recently completed my Masters degree in Classical Studies with the Open University. Like at one point in many Classicists’ lives, I had started to think to myself: “What can I do with my degree?” and through a great deal of research I was enticed by a career in the Heritage sector. My interest began with Museum work, researching and writing about ancient pottery pieces for my local Museum. I later moved towards a career in Archives via several volunteering roles. As someone with a Classics background who is keen to gain experience in the Heritage sector, the Library/Archive role I am undertaking here at the BSA is the perfect blend of both worlds. I am excited to experience the odyssey I’m sure this role will take me on!”
