Julia Craig-McFeely studied at Edinburgh University (BMus, MMus) with Michael Tilmouth, Kenneth Leighton and Peter Williams. She completed her DPhil on English Lute Manuscripts and Scribes 1530-1630 at the University of Oxford in 1994. After several years as a college lecturer at a number of Colleges she held a Junior Research Fellowship at St Anne's College. From 1996 she ran a successful freelance business typesetting music and text that had particular difficulties in layout or design (including transcribing and setting Donizetti's opera Elisabetta from his autograph, for the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden), and has since typeset a number of publications in musicology, including the award-winning Facsimile and introductory study of Bologna MS Q.15, by Margaret Bent. She continues her publishing activities as the principal member of the production team for DIAMM Publications.
Julia Craig-McFeely has been the Project Manager of DIAMM since 1998 and a Director since 2007. She has published and lectured in Europe and the USA both about her research subjects and about the work of DIAMM, and in particular about creating high-quality images of archive documents and digital restoration. She has also lectured on intellectual property rights in relation to digital images. She is known internationally as an expert in archive-quality imaging of delicate documents, and consults to a number of organisations including the National Library of Ireland and the Israel Antiquities Authority. In 2008 she was one of the team of specialists who undertook the pilot project to digitize the Dead Sea Scrolls in Jerusalem.
She directs a number of choral groups in and around Oxford, and is an occasional composer and arranger.
