[https://beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q28 Amara Thornton] describes how we have tackled the representation of women's education in this period.


''Modelling our approach began with the [https://beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q315 Blue Papers] – which in some cases list the degrees held by women being proposed for [https://beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q8 Fellowship of the Society of Antiquaries of London] (and of these, some, but not all, included an indication of institution conferring degrees e.g. "Oxon", "Cantab", "Lond"). Sometimes degree status was given in other primary source materials, such as by-lines in journal articles – eg. Title of Article, by Miss XXX XXX, B. A., in lists of officers of learned societies, e. g. Hon Sec, Miss XXX XXXX, B. A., or in the context of a description of an activity – e. g. Mrs XXXX, M. A., undertook an excavation of xxx.). Educational information was also sometimes given next to the names of women contributing as authors to the [https://beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q2483 Victoria County History] project, in a VCH volume’s table of contents. As at least some women contributing to the VCH were educated at Oxford and Cambridge (which did not award degrees until 1920/1948 respectively) their educational credentials are often given as the exams they passed or the courses they undertook, e. g. Miss XXXX, Honours School of Modern History (an examination board at Oxford). For some women, obituaries, Wikipedia entries, and ODNB biographies provided educational details that we could follow up on in other records.}}''
