Such a fabulous, thought-provoking article by @caycarbs.bsky.social !

Early American Studies@easmisc.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Congrats to Caylin Carbonell, winner of the 2026 Gordon-Eastman-Hart Prize! Her article "Fraught Forms" reveals how indenture contracts in colonial New England were as powerful as material objects—torn, hidden, or carried—as they were as legal texts. https://bit.ly/4wSMbGC

Today a teacher told me that @lizcovart.bsky.social saved them during the pandemic because they discovered @bfworld.bsky.social and suddenly had more books to read than they ever possibly could. The power of that podcast!

So many high points in those @shearites.bsky.social awards! Super congrats to @caycarbs.bsky.social for her brilliant essay on materials and archives of household.
