Highlights
I’m Emma Treleaven, and until recently I was the assistant curator at the Charles Dickens Museum
Dickens moved into 48 Doughty Street with his family in 1837, renting the property for the middle-class sum of £80 a year
He took up residence with his wife Catherine and their baby son Charley in what he called ‘his house in town’ (Fig. 1)
Summary
I’m Emma Treleaven, and until recently I was the assistant curator at the Charles Dickens Museum. My job was a mix of taking care of the museum’s historic house, collections, library, and archive, as well as running research appointments, answering enquiries, and helping out with the museum’s social media.
