Some sad confirmation from @bcgl.bsky.social while I was at UW last week—the National Digital Newspaper Program—which builds Chronicling America—has been shut down
Historical newspapers are probably the archival material most used by the general public—for genealogy, local history—it’s such a loss

I’ve spent 2 years trying to track down a primary source book. Only about 5 surviving copies exist in the world.
Then I finally reached out to my librarian and she was able to track down a copy within a week.
For every of historian, there are librarians making our work possible. 🗃️

It's always hard to keep toddlers from bumping their heads! Today we often baby-proof corners, but in the early modern era it was more common to put a padded "pudding cap" or "falling hat" on the child. 🗃️🪡 www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

I wrote an entire book about why it took so long for the Confederacy to finally pass legislation authorizing the enlistment of Black men as soldiers, but we tend to overlook the deep level of racism that blocked the enlistment of these very same men into to the United States Army until 1863. 🗃️

Great idea for #AcademicBlueSky accounts
Academics wanting to 'verify' their Bluesky profile as genuine might give an ORCID identifier in their profile and link back to their Bluesky profile from ORCID.

Small boast: I am caught up with my grading and all my exams for the semester have been sent off to the print shop.
Now I just need to build four classes from scratch in Canvas which I've never used before by the end of Thanksgiving break.
Ahhhh the academic life - so much free time.🍎
