Behind the scenes of 'A House Through Time' YouTube video by Family Tree

Behind the scenes of ‘A House Through Time’🔗 is an interview that was conducted in 2021 but has only recently been added to the @familytreeplus.bsky.social Family Tree Magazine YouTube channel. Worth a look, especially for #HouseHistory fans, on #OnePlaceWednesday!

#OnePlaceWednesday. Image: Photo of the view across a narrow lake. In the foreground there is grass, with reeds at the water's edge. On the opposite shore are more reeds, and three large Oak trees standing at the bottom of a grassy field that occupies the sloping ground rising beyond the water. At the top of the slope, just visible on the left, is part of Fawsley Hall, and on the right, Fawsley St Mary's church with its tower. There are trees in the wide gap between those buildings. Above, a few fluffy clouds and a couple of contrails adorn a blue sky, the colour of which is reflected in the water of the lake. One-Place Studies, where family history and local history unite.

A photo taken on this day 3 years ago in my local #OnePlaceStudy to kick off this week's #OnePlaceWednesday! Add the hashtag to your OPS-related posts today and share the love of places, their communities and their histories, along with your news, views, questions and suggestions.

Making more of microhistories Struggling to categorise that quirky piece of non-fiction? This might just help.

I would love to see a 'microhistories' table in my local bookstore! THE WORDHORD often ends up in 'literary history' or sometimes 'history' or 'language', but this is its true home, I think. And it's nice to have a name for one of my favourite genres.

I asked students in my #Microhistories MA module at @bbkhistorical.bsky.social to find a primary source and come up with a pitch for a microhistory that started with that source. The results were brilliant!

Here's a thread of their ideas, shared with permission... (1/?)🧵

A very *lively* discussion of creativity, invention and fiction this week's #Microhistories class at @bbkhistorical.bsky.social!

Plenty of strong opinions about Kate Weikert's 'Creative Microhistories' and Hatcher's 'Fiction as History' as tools for medievalist microhistory.

Excited to be teaching Hazel Carby's *Imperial Intimacies* at @bbkhistorical.bsky.social today!

How much do #microhistories and family histories overlap in their approach and techniques?

Had an amazing opening session of my #Microhistories module yesterday at @bbkhistorical.bsky.social. We spent most of it trying to figure out what a 'microhistory' actually is. Is it just about scale or is it also about the historian's use of creativity and self-reflection?
