Grace joined the BFI as part of the Our Screen Heritage project. Her work centres on developing digital archival practice, and co-designing the workflows and policies needed to acquire, catalogue, and make accessible the born-digital document archives of contemporary filmmakers. Grace works with a range of digital material, including but not limited to documents, ephemera, posters, scripts, and stills.
Grace is co-chair of the international network, Digital Film-Related Documentation Taskforce, and was co-curator of the BFI season, Beyond the Frame: Women Filmmakers and their Archives.
Grace previously worked in various roles at the British Library, predominately within the Sound Archive. She contributed to the Unlocking Our Sound Heritage project as an audio cataloguer and was cataloguer of the Tony Benn Audio Visual Archive, the British Library’s largest multi-format collection. Grace’s special interests include audio in film and the work of women filmmakers.
