Sometimes archival research can also become a topical, as I just read in an ambassadorial dispatch "I am putt upon bartering the rock of St Peter with bullets of clay" #archivalfun #snippets #ambassadors #papacy

Ready for a full day of archival fun!

I’m leading this London Rare Book School course on the history of collecting. Ideal for anyone interested in studying the history of libraries and how and why books have survived. We’ll be looking at why special collections are special. 22-26 June. #bookHistory👇📚📖

In this role, you will carry out dedicated research on non elite textual production, working closely with the Principal Investigator, Professor Sue Wiseman, and the Co Investigator, Dr Brodie Waddell. You will have the opportunity to work extensively with manuscripts and printed sources, visit archives, investigate datasets, develop the project database, and contribute to shaping the project’s scholarly outputs - and you may also be involved in textual editing. As Research Associate, you will focus on one of two thematic strands: 1. Non elite writing produced in the provinces, or 2. Writing produced by non elite women. Further details via link

What a wonderful image! 😍

Oh, apologies John, I just saw that guessing was not allowed 😁

Might it may also refer to a writing desk of some sort. I am thinking it could be a Dutch version of Latin word scriptorium. But it is a wild guess.

Sad to be missing out on this, looks wonderful!

This year we are celebrating our 10th anniversary. We are currently busy working on a festive special issue. From now on, we will also be looking back every Thursday. Please follow us and stay tuned. #throwbackthursday

Is het de moeite?

European alternatives to Dropbox | European Alternatives Dropbox is probably the most well-known file hosting service.

Switch to a European alternative as soon as possible I would say (even without the prospect of an invasion): european-alternatives.eu/alternative-...

Ik zal het voor je zoeken, het is allicht pas voor volgend jaar

Ik heb het ooit gelezen en denk dat ik een gekopieerd exemplaar heb.

@onslies.bsky.social voor op je leeslijst!

Not that I know, I will check whether they are red on my map as well.
