Timeline
Sheridan attended Harrogate Grammar School (1959 until 1964), Beverley High School for Girls (1964-1966) and Hull College of Commerce (1966-7).
She obtained eight O-levels and four A-levels.
She then went to Brighton in 1967, where she studied Sociology in the School of Education at the University of Sussex.
Sheridan married psychologist and fellow socialist, Anthony Wainwright, in Lewes, East Sussex, in 1968.
Tom Harrisson offered Sheridan a temporary job in 1974, working to establish the Mass Observation papers as a history resource.
This job became permanent, with Sheridan acting as the first archivist.
She performed a variety of jobs there, beginning by labelling boxes and telephoning Harrisson with updates and moving on to develop and promote the archive.
In 1976, Harrisson had given her money to buy a car and learn to drive so that she could chauffeur him when he visited, but he died before this happened so she purchased a motorbike instead.
In 1981, Sheridan co-founded the launch of the contemporary phase of Mass Observation, the Mass Observation Project that collects new material about everyday life.
She combined the management of the MOA with research, writing and publishing, and travelled extensively to promote Mass Observation, autobiographical writing and ethical archiving.

Sheridan is an advisor to the National Life Stories project at the British Library and acted as consultant on the "Observing the Eighties" project, which brought together materials from the Life Stories and MOA.
In her retirement Sheridan has developed her political interests, continuing in her solidarity work for Palestine which began after a first visit to Palestine in 2004.
She remains a committed and active socialist and feminist.
The Open University awarded Sheridan an honorary doctorate, which she described as her "career high" in 2007.
In 2010, Sheridan retired from her role as Director, but continued her involvement as a Trustee of the MOA.

She teaches English in Brighton at the Migrant English Project.
She is also a member of the Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group and visits people on immigration detention at the Gatwick Immigration Removal Centre.
