This is perhaps the most remarkable sewing box of all time, not only because it belonged to Emily Bronte but because it had a secret compartment that wasn't found until 47 years after her death - inside were the diary papers of Emily and Anne Bronte!

Excuse the hurriedly taken photographs BUT despot walking past this building dozens of times, I had never noticed just how bloody splendid it is! Built 1914-1916. Don’t forget to look up!

The Sex Discrimination Act 1975 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which sought to protect men and women from discrimination on the grounds of sex or marital status. It received Royal assent #OTD 12 November 1975. #GenderEquality #Discrimination


I’m not sure that I’m leaving (unless enough of you fabulous folk jump ship) but for those of you that use the other place… I haven’t really used it yet but will follow the popular kids! 😉

In Slavic legend, geese bring the first snow of winter, connecting them to the changing seasons. Their arrival signals a time to gather and share stories by the fire. #MythologyMonday

We're back! Having worked through the Linc properties in 1290 we're now on to those of Jews executed in the Little Hugh case, working primarily on an unpublished grant in a Lincoln Record Office cartulary, supplemented by the Charter, Patent, and wonderful Fine Rolls of Henry III

Never trust that anything that’s digitised or available online will be available forever. Digitisation is not preservation, and tech companies aren’t archivists or librarians. The presence of hard copy in a physical collection is the only guarantee of long-term survival

Why is Google Books removing access to out-of-copyright books that it once hosted as open access? There is a good chance that the mass-deaccession policy of libraries, on the ground that "it's available for free online", will be one of the most stupid acts of modern curatorship.

1144 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. 684 days since they banned women from university. Afghanistan is the ONLY country on earth where girls are forbidden from learning. How much longer will we allow this cruelty? #LetAfghanGirlsLearn
