Victoria Hoyle is a historian, archivist and survivor ally. She is Senior Lecturer in Public History at the University of York and formerly Director of the Institute for the Public Understanding of the Past. Her historical work is on 20th- and 21st-century child welfare, focusing on participatory research, the co-production of historical knowledge, and working with communities of lived experience. She began working on histories and archives of child sexual abuse in 2017 during her postdoctoral research on the Memory, Identity, Rights in Records and Access (MIRRA) project at UCL. Her first book The Remaking of Archival Values explores how our understanding of archives can be adapted to reflect the needs and interests of people who have experienced inequity, injustice, abuse, and harm.
