wonderful thread from a dear colleague, a really heartening reminder of the joys of our work and the amazing community we have. #ArchiveHour is indeed a state of mind.

Things are so bad I joined WhatsApp (still don't have a smartphone though, no). In amongst the serious stuff in our 'at risk' chat are some Very Lovely Things. For instance, my colleague who works on the Italian Renaissance shared this photo of the Archivio di Stato di Roma, where she currently is:

I did my MA/PhD at Exeter Uni & was recently an External Examiner for History. As in so many other hums depts under attack, the staff are bloody amazing, work their arses off, & don't deserve this attack (aside, if I hear the word "rightsizing" again, I cannot be held responsible for my actions).

Great to be at European Association for the History of Medicine #EAHMH2025 in Berlin this week. Have been busy & terrible at sharing on here, but having a lovely time! First #histmed conference since 2019 as I've been going to health/design stuff instead, and it's so nice to reconnect with people.

#eahmh25 has been a great conference - huge 🙏 to organisers. Seeing old friends & meeting new ones. And for me, finally visiting Berlin. I’ve mainly been conferencing but have also managed some mini field trips to Sanssouci, the botanic gardens (Potsdam & Berlin) & a wine bar in an old pharmacy ❤️

The traditional boat trip of the European Association for the History of Medicine and Health is happening. Andreas Jüttemann is guiding us through Berlin’s medical history. Make sure to join the association not to miss out on the next boat trip in two years! #EAHMH25
