Stephen was born in City and raised in Region, where early exposure to the collections at the British Library, Library of Congress, and regional archives shaped a lifelong interest in primary sources. Stephen read for undergraduate studies at University of Oxford, then pursued postgraduate work at University of Cambridge and the London School of Economics. During doctoral research Stephen worked with curators at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Archives (United Kingdom), and the Wellcome Trust, and studied correspondences tied to figures associated with the Industrial Revolution, the Victorian era, and transatlantic exchanges involving the United States and British Empire.
Mentors included scholars affiliated with the Institute of Historical Research, the School of Oriental and African Studies, and visiting fellows from the Smithsonian Institution and the Bibliothèque nationale de France. Training encompassed paleography under instructors connected to the Bodleian Libraries and methodological seminars referencing work at the University of Chicago and Columbia University.
Stephen began a career combining academic posts and curatorial consultancy. Early appointments included lectureships at the University of Manchester and research fellowships at the University of Edinburgh. Stephen later accepted a visiting scholar position at the Harvard University, collaborated with the British Museum, and served as advisor to projects at the National Portrait Gallery (United Kingdom).
Major works include monographs and essays that investigate archival assemblages, municipal records, and circulation of texts.
