The UCD Trad Group were welcomed to the Irish Traditional Music Archives this week.
The group had a great time browsing the archive.

The visit finished up with a couple of tunes in the library while the archives secretary Bridie Flaherty danced a jig!
A great day 😄

As always, a superb conference; delighted to be here. @esshc.bsky.social @ucddublin.bsky.social @histedsocuk.bsky.social @ische-news.bsky.social

Some fantastic news. Irish Dry Stone Construction (walls) has just been added to the UNESCO representative list of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Ireland now has five inscribed ICH practices.

We need more book announcements on the timeline. For eye-cleansing, heart-cleansing. Book releases, book announcements, with cover page photos and short summaries, that's top escapism, I crave it!

Everybody, please put up a profile picture, even if it is only a picture of your cat. And write at least a few words in your bio. It is hard to distinguish people from bots otherwise. Thank you. And thanks to those who follow me.

So because it is Saturday I created this. Feel free to get in touch if you want to be added - or removed! go.bsky.app/8FJAkMG

ICHS Seminar 2024, Remember Professor Raymond Gillespie, 11.30am Saturday 23rd, Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland www.historians.ie/ichs-seminar... #irishhistory

To celebrate the new thread feature & because it's a good time to remember that doing small things is better than doing nothing, here's my only thread from Old Twitter that went viral.

Seven years ago, when I moved in, I inherited what I thought was an overgrown tip at the bottom of my garden...

It was during the height of the pandemic and the nicest person from NPR was like “we want to interview you about your tweet.”

She didn’t have to say which one. It’s the cheese tweet.

Hello blue sky land. Still trying to find my way to my #histmed #histsci #envhist peeps. Follow me for research, writing and curating - mostly sleep and the Victorians but sometimes also empire and museums!

It's a warm sunny day in Blackrock Village and we are open for business

Colleagues at History UK have put together this report on EDI, History and Pedagogy - it will be useful reading for anyone involved in UKHE History teaching (and possibly others too). An initial step, not the end point, but lots on things we can do & fight for.
