We have something very exciting on its way to the Hall! Here is a sneaky peak of a new permanent display on Dr Maud Sellers: steamboat lady, traveller, historian, archivist and the first female Merchant Adventurer in 400 years. Join us for a short thread on the indominable Maud...
Being an bio aunt and a friend aunt is the best. You get to spoil them rotten and do all the fun things, then send them back to their parents when you're done. Perfect.

If anyone needs an early modernist for lecturing, consultation, copy editing, or freelance work. I have a lot of experience and would appreciate any work sent my way for the next academic year! #EarlyModern Things are looking a little grim!

Hey #genealogy and #history community. Is there anyone who might be able to go to the California state archives for a some volunteers at an abandoned cemetery in the state? I really need to see what info a court case has, but we don't have $450 to pay for the 1800 pages. 🙏
The next installment of ' #HarryPrice & the #PulboroughTorc'. Whether he made the torc, had it made - or planted a real one - the overwhelming evidence that Harry Price was involved is becoming impossible to ignore. Enjoy! 😊 #Archaeology #Torcs #Pulborough 🏺 bigbookoftorcs.com/2026/08/10/i...

Have any of you found that once people know what you do, they like to tell you their family history stories? I feel honoured they chose to share something personal with me. #GenHour #genealogy #ancestry
Great to have you joining us @ckolonko.bsky.social! Our question is: what would you say to someone who knows nothing about your specialisation to help them understand why it's so important/why they should be interested?

RJ1611@rfj1611.bsky.social · 2mo agoI'm probably being thick but can someone from @ihgs.bsky.social please explain how to access the July Anytime Talk as a student? It says it is available until 3rd August on the website but I'm looking at the list in the student area and it isn't there. Am I missing something? 🥺 #genealogy
