It's hard working with a cat on your lap. The thing is she's OLD - 17 - a bit grumpy and as we've just moved house, quite stressed. The thing really is I'm just a total softy and can't say no.

In 1989 Clive Emsley and Ian Bridgeman surveyed the private archives of police force across England and Wales. Their report makes for intriguing reading. I feel it's a story half told so I'm copying their data onto a spreadsheet. It's a labour of love - I'll keep you posted! #historians #archives

Talking about prisons is a research project funded by @britishacademy.bsky.social. Working with Peterhead Prison Museum it examines the cultural interpretation of ‘difficult heritage’

Spring has arrived in Malvern - sunshine burst through our old bathroom window this morning as I got ready for work.

Friday afternoon at my desk with a mug of tea and some Lindt hazelnut chocolate to sooth the experience of assessing Henry Bond's 'Lacon at the scene' because I suspected it wouldn't be an enjoyable experience ... and it wasn't but important to consider #murder #crimescene #photography #ethics

It's only taken me 5 years to get this far but this Summer my book "Murder in the archives: The stories that crime files tell" will be published by @hobnobpress.bsky.social. Deep dive into the material culture and strange world of murder files. Find out more at angelasuttonvane.com/murder-in-th...
