When a parish row in 1834 Ireland leads to the recovery of about a thousand men's names, which might otherwise have been lost. (Names recorded on two posters printed Spring 1834 - parish records don't start until 1838, and no surviving census records for that time/place). #Genealogy #LoveArchives
❤️ A glimpse into the fabulous #StephenSondheim collection at Lib of Congress #archives #lovearchives
The #InternationalDayOfPotato is all the excuse that I need to share the archived "Love Chips" website, surely one of the most significant* sites in the UK Government Web Archive. #LoveArchives webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/201012...
*Opinions may vary.
These are beauties!
Historic planning records are definitely up there amongst my favourites when a-researching #HouseHistory and histories of other building types.

"We made some discoveries in Pearse Street Library. It was a bit like Indiana Jones, dusting off these old manuscripts. People know Alexander’s Feast, but this Irish version will be something new for a lot of people. We’re really excited.” #LoveArchives #DublinCityArchive
Door of Hampshire Archives
This #OnePlaceWednesday I'm back at the Hampshire Archives currently waiting for them to open 😃
Lots of 17th Century docs to look at today 😯
#Genealogy #LoveArchives
Some of the rate books I consulted had fabulously patterned endpapers, even if one of them reminded me of corned beef or salami...

This one has one twin in the middle of the group and one big brother making an entrance with "gunna mòr". Need to move to a big screen and *then* lose my spare time. Some brilliant items in the collection overall too. #LoveArchives #SnaG2025

Today's @SurveyofLondon work amusement: George Wombwell being autocorrected to George Womble. Hey, it's been an intense research day of manuscript letters and updating my residents spreadsheet, so I am taking light relief where I can!
#LoveArchives #autocorrect
Today: comparing 19th century house plans with my @SurveyofLondon hat on (for the forthcoming SW #Marylebone volume.
Pleasing.

Talking of research, had a great morning in Westminster Archives yesterday researching for @SurveyofLondon SW Marylebone volume- some fantastic historic images, splendid sales particulars, and a bundle of deeds that included a plan. Pleasing!

Two back to back project meetings today, and a very tasty London-based research project is now about to commence! Especially looking forward to the archive research...
#LoveArchives
Phew, & done! Huge thanks to fab @NorfolkRO staff who were sterlingly on hand for all that cropped up-be it missing microfilm, heavy rate registers, damaged documents & renegade-spooling-to-the-floor microfilm.
Now on train with snacks/fizz!
#LoveArchives #Norfolk #HouseHistory
Still in the archives whizzing through microfilms as fast as I can 😬😳.
These from earlier. When requesting items you just don't know what format they'll be!
Tithe apportionments in a lovely A5 notebook & property index in an old card catalogue!

A spot of microfilm action at the end of the day 😬... Back tomorrow!
