Phoebe Cooper

Phoebe is Content Development Manager at MyHeritage, specialising in historical records and metadata. She comes from a background of rare books, libraries, and digitisation projects, one involving the University of Edinburgh’s renowned Adam Smith Library. She has presented her research at several prestigious institutions, including Oxford University, bringing additional experience of teaching high school literature and history. Her academic passion lies in the lives of Edinburgh publishers of the 1700s, particularly those who published works by literary giants such as Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott. Holding an MSc in Rare Book Librarianship from the University of Edinburgh, Phoebe thrives on unravelling complex, often disordered pieces of history, bringing clarity to the past.
