Would love to know more about the black woman playing in the 1881 'Scotland v England' games. Do you have any pointers on this you'd be happy to share? And yes, the story of 'Emma Clarke' is fascinating - the attempts to identify her, the imaginative recreations, the debates!

You'd be working alongside me (as part of the Published Collections team) but don't let that put you off. The rest of the team is lovely.
