Leanne Green, the first of the CDA student speakers, gave us an insight into one such story. Leslie Bradley, the second Director-General of the Imperial War Museum, is an underexplored figure and Leanne’s account of Bradley’s First World War publicity collection – literally thousands of advertisements from newspapers and magazines of the time – revealed Bradley to have been an innovator whose collecting obsession has provided historians with an invaluable source.
