Borthwick Institute for Archives@uoyborthwick.bsky.social · 4mo ago

We were pleased to be invited to the unveiling of a @yorkcivictrust.bsky.social blue plaque at the former Rowntree's Cocoa Works on Haxby Road today. The event had a distinct Kit Kat theme so we made sure to take along some examples of historic packaging from the archive. Which ones do you remember?

A really interesting post about 'crossing the floor'

History of Parliament@histparl.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Following some recent high-profile political defections, @alfiesteer.bsky.social and Dr @emmapeplow.bsky.social have delved into the History of Parliament's #OralHistory archive to explore some historical cases of MPs who 'crossed the floor' and changed their party affiliation.

www.llyfrgell.cymru/newyddion/ar... Er na fyddai'r dosbarth gweithiol yn medru pleidleisio, byddent wedi gallu ychwanegu eu lleisiau at achosion trwy lofnodi deiseb. Although the working class couldn't vote, they would have been able to add their voices to causes by signing a petition.

A warning from the past: if there is anything you would like to preserve long-term in good condition, please don't stick tape on it! As tape deteriorates, it can discolour, become brittle, lose its adhesive strength, and leave a residue stain. Enough to give an archivist nightmares! 👻
