Books by Jonathan Hamill

Jonathan Hamill’s interest in textile history was first piqued by Dr Sue Bruley while studying as an undergraduate at Portsmouth. Having completed his PhD thesis, ‘A Study of Female Textile Operatives in the Belfast Linen Industry 1890–1939’ at Queen’s University Belfast, he spent three years working as Oral History Researcher on the Living Linen Project.

His passion for textiles is undiminished and as well as continuing to research and write on various aspects of the linen industry he works as an oral history
consultant and talks regularly to school groups and local historical societies. He lives in rural County Fermanagh with his family.
