About Tarin Ahmed

I have a strong passion for history and storytelling, which has shaped my career in licensing and publishing in the academic sector. I currently work at The National Archives, where I develop partnerships and collections on primary source archival material, to make historical records more accessible and engaging for wider audiences. My role at TNA involves everything from negotiating licensing agreements to curating digital collections and collaborating with publishers to bring historical content to life. Beyond that, I’m also heavily involved in diversity and inclusion initiatives, creating events and resources that celebrate different cultures and perspectives. I love finding new ways to connect people with history, whether through digital archives, exhibitions, or creative collaborations. Having recently joined Clavis Aurea as a podcast coordinator, I'm looking forward to contributing and hosting episodes of our podcast 'Unlocking Academia', bringing my experience in Academic publishing and my interests in exploring diverse histories to help spotlight important stories and historically hidden voices.
