En gång i tiden läste jag, som var helt inkörd på läroböcker, en bok som fick mig att se vad historia kunde vara. Det var en jordbävning. Det var Carlo Ginzburg. Jag har läst den så många gånger. I helgen läser jag den igen, som en hyllning till författaren och till allt han gav mig.

I fucking love Van Eyck. They have a replica of the Ghent Altar piece in its original side chapel so you can see how much they'd painted it for exactly that spot. Adored pointing out the way the light falls to visitors when I was a tour guide there. I didn't catch the reflection in the 3 mm gem 🤯

Another fabulous master's workshop! 13 theses by second-year students, and 17 thesis proposals by first-year students.

På onsdag den 27 maj kl. 13 gästas högre seminariet i agrarhistoria av Kirsi Laine från Åbo. Hon kommer presentera sin forskning om torpare i sydvästra Finland 1760-1920. Mycket välkomna! (Zoom-länk I bilden).

The beautiful thing with history is that the more you learn, the more difficult the questions become.

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

Still going strong! Presenting "Gustav's Hand" with @johansjoberg70.bsky.social at the annual conference of Svenska Arkivförbundet.

18thc trunks for paper. Just two of many in my files. One of these I'd been waiting decades to see. It's in the VMHC exhibit Un/bound and belongs to the Madden family. An 18th c ancestor of this free black family kept her freedom papers +more. Wasn't discovered in an attic until the 20thc.

Karin Wulf@kawulf.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Another obsession... trunks where 18thc papers were stored and moved -- here are two examples from reecent trips in an accumulating file of them. So. Many. And the Hancock trunk / Revere dash/ lumber across Lexington Green in part of that corpus (in the attic that is my mind). 4/

May (Gustav) the fourth (Adolf) be with you.
