Great blog on women at the British Museum. @beyondnotables.bsky.social has a (very!) long list of women associated in some way w/ the Museum between 1870-1950, including women lecturing at the Museum (many w/ explicit permission of Trustees), women using the Reading Room, & women donors

If you’re interested in how women have visited, worked in or impacted the British Museum, here’s a handy blog!: www.britishmuseum.org/blog/first-w... #BritishMuseum #Archive #ExploreYourArchive

Bell was not alone! She had a lot of help from various people, including Agnes Ramsay, who had well over 20 years' experience travelling through Ottoman Turkiye by the time that Bell came to Binbirkilise to work with Agnes and William Ramsay & their local excavators.

Bell is, of course, in our @beyondnotables.bsky.social database bsky.app/profile/ncll... BUT critical to say that so are a number of other (far less well known) women who were also involved in archaeology in the areas that Bell is associated with.

Did you know we've recently launched a new map interface on our Gertrude Bell website? The result of a 2 year project it allows users to explore over 10,000 of Bell's letters, diaries and photographs and travels on a map. Find it here gertrudebell.ncl.ac.uk/bellmap #SomethingNew #Archive30

Speaking of Thomas Sopwith bsky.app/profile/ncll... - his 3rd wife Anne (Potter) Sopwith is in our @beyondnotables.bsky.social database: beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q2...

A regularly #popularitem (or series of items) in our Reading Room is the series of diaries of engineer, land surveyor and philanthropist Thomas Sopwith. During the 19th Century he meticulously documented his working life and travels around the country. #Archive30 [Ref-TS/1]

Edith Murray Keate also wrote at least 1 murder mystery set in the G & F residences at Hampton Court: The Jackanapes Jacket (Sampson Low, 1931, republished 2019 as Murder at Hampton Court). You'll find her on our @beyondnotables.bsky.social database: beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q1...

Intrigued to see that a new novel, Murder at Hampton Court, is set in the Palace's Grace & Favour residences www.historiamag.com/grace-favour.... I'll be discussing former Grace & Favour residents Edith & Gyneth Keate in my @vchlondon.bsky.social lecture 15 May www.history.ac.uk/events/women...

For a sort of #HillfortsWednesday here are the earthworks of 'The Bulwarks' on Minchinhampton Common, Cotswolds. This very long bank and ditch appears to surround a large area, but its purpose is unknown. Elsie Clifford, who excavated here in the 1930s, was able to date it to the Iron Age 1/2

Women's and gender history is thriving in HE, but very little of this new work appears in schools history.

Tomorrow at 7pm! Tickets still available for Chris Hare's talk on one of Britain's foremost folk song collectors, Lucy Broadwood. Broadwood began collecting in the 1880s, before the arguably more well-known Cecil Sharp and Vaughan Williams, and collected songs from England, Scotland and Ireland.

Important advice! bsky.app/profile/harc... if you search @beyondnotables.bsky.social database you'll find many entries of women who appear under many variations of name. For e.g. Icelandic collector Sigridr Magnusson beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q2...

As #WomenHistoryMonth draws to a close, let’s continue to remember how crucial it is to find women’s voices in the archive and how to read between the lines/find alternative ways to find them in the records

Oh, it's #WearAHatDay apparently! Great day to revisit our @beyondnotables.bsky.social post about @vchlondon.bsky.social @yorkadventurers.bsky.social Maud Sellers and her (infamous) hat! bsky.app/profile/beyo...

Beyond Notability@beyondnotables.bsky.social · 2y ago

Working on @vchlondon.bsky.social's Maud Sellers this morn & find that she was suspended from her teaching job in Brisbane Australia in 1900 for wearing her hat to class. It made the paper @adamchapman.bsky.social @ruthslatter.bsky.social @cathamclarke.bsky.social

On this, a note. Active for us @beyondnotables.bsky.social covers many things, from membership in learned society for a year or two to a lifelong commitment resulting in talks, publications, professional appointments and accolades. It's a broad spectrum.

We got AHRC funding, but only for 3 years! Over that time we put over 900 women active in 1 way or another in archaeology, history & heritage into our @beyondnotables.bsky.social database. Some well known, but the majority not (some still have no first name!). 3 years will only take you so far...

Aren't they pretty 🤩 But more seriously, deciding to write interactive data essays (rather than a standard paper) made the last few months of @beyondnotables.bsky.social a blast. And even better I got to work on them with @sharonhoward.bsky.social.
