Farewell to Donald Ferguson

January 29, 2021

IASH's long-serving Secretary, Donald Ferguson, is leaving IASH after 19 years. He has been the first point of contact for over 750 Fellows in that time, assisting with their research needs and providing a friendly face throughout their stays in Edinburgh. As well as looking after the building and our visitors, Donald also indulged his passion for music by singing with Dr Elizabeth Ford on the recording of Edinburgh's Musick Club, and helped Dr Karina Williamson develop her digital archive on Bryan Edwards.
