Dr Maxine Beuret
Regional Ambassador
(London and the South East)

Dr Maxine Beuret is a creative cultural historian of the commonplace. She is drawn to unchanged places and objects that act as portals into the history and cultural heritage of overlooked parts of our world, which may be at risk of disappearing. By combining photography with oral history interviews and environmental sound, she creates short digital storytelling films that animate history and cultural heritage. During her recent fellowship at the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) she was commissioned to undertake a photography and video piece entitled ‘People of the IHR’ which will be launched in autumn 2025 at Senate House. Maxine has been the chairperson of Creative Oral History, a special interest group within the UK oral history society that shares creative approaches to life narratives. She is also the London and the South East Regional Ambassador for History Lab Plus. Two of her projects, ‘Departure of the Slam-door Trains’ and ‘Familiar Interiors of Leicester,’ have produced archives that are part of permanent museum collections.
