Many in #Tolkien studies owe a great debt to the Catherine McIlwaine @bodleianlibs. She helped out many scholars but also curated the incredible 'Maker of Middle-earth' exhibition. She leaves her post tomorrow as archivist for a new role at the Bod. Many thanks Catherine!
Looks great #Tolkien

Happy Tolkien Reading Day! 📖
Today is the perfect excuse to dive into The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, or any of Tolkien’s incredible works.

History doesn’t repeat itself? Two countries discussing the carving up of a 3rd in Eastern Europe (Nazi-Soviet Pact anyone)? And the summit to thrash out this appeasement is being held in Munich. You could not write this.
Really pleased to see this article out by my colleagues, Catherine, on our #WW2 crowd-sourcing project: openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/articles/10....
