John Farrant compiled this database of Sussex pictures to
underpin
Sussex Depicted - Views and Descriptions 1600-1800
which the Society published as
it centenary volume in 2001. This volume also drew on John's research over
many years on early writers on Sussex and artists of the county's
antiquities. His articles on some of those writers and on Victorian Sussex
antiquaries have recently appeared in the Oxford Dictionary of National
Biography (2004). Other themes in his published work on Sussex history are
harbours and seaborne trade, and early modern Brighton.
For 20 years he
served on the Council of the Sussex Archaeological Society, for 10 of them
as Honorary Treasurer. Paid work has been as an administrator at the
University of Sussex and now as a consultant on higher education management
(particularly in eastern Europe and Africa) and the digitisation of archive
catalogues.
