Het Stadsarchief van Amsterdam, essentieel voor onderzoekers én burgers, staat op het punt een nieuw, ondoorgrondelijk zoeksysteem in te voeren. Dat zou grote gevolgen hebben, schrijven hoogleraren Ju...

A well wish from James II to his friend Thomas Butler in 1673: '[I] am very glad you escaped so well as you did, I hope it will always be your fortune to do so'.

A well wish from James II to his friend Thomas Butler in 1673: '[I] am very glad you escaped so well as you did, I hope it will always be your fortune to do so'.
Also, a prime example of female entrepreneurship, in my opinion, is Louise Renée de Kérouaille, who became one of King Charles II's mistresses. In 1681, she extracted £132,000 from the Treasury for her 'Secret Services'. A hussler if you ask me. (1/2)

On the subject of Women & Entrepreneurship, the woman of the week is Peggy Jones. A notorious mudlarker who was immortalised in this print. She utilised her knowledge of the river and its tides to scrape a living together. In her special skirt, she gathered valuables and coal, which she sold. (1/2)

Finally gathered the academic courage to venture to Cambridge, but where to stay for a tiny archiving stint. Any tips for ultimate Cambridge vibes?

Eight weeks ago, I jokingly imagined a podcast where scholars could (expertly) hate on historical figures. Almost 100,000 people thought it was a good idea.
I am so incredibly excited to announce that the first episodes of my brand new show This Guy Sucked will be released March 20th!

Digging through works on monarchy, empire and slave trade, never ceases to baffle me. First, a general excusing of Royal involvement is the standard. Second, phrases like this, which concluded a paragraph on the TSAT published in 1976: "All were victims in the first place of their fellow-Africans."
