Delighted to see this mock up of the front cover of my first book, due to be published later in the Summer with @cambridgeup.bsky.social .
It's been several years in the making, and has had input and guidance from so many people - but it nearly exists!

This brilliant new mural on Govan Road in Glasgow is of Mary Barbour, a Scottish political activist and social policy pioneer of the early 20th Century. She first made a name for herself leading the rent strikes of 1915.

Someone working on diplomatic could get a full article out of "concepts of 'copy'" in popular understanding of Magna Carta. Hey ho.
Fun, though, and genuinely hard work to establish this,as well as great outcomes from sharing collections information online.

This post by a former NARA employee is good, outlining some of its powers and responsibilities.
I knew that NARA administered the Electoral College. There’s a lot of similarly important stuff.
It will *not be good* for the next Archivist of the United States to be a Trump stooge.
