Most of this year's journal is open-access, and it's full of new research on one of the biggest industrial disputes of the 19th century, the Preston Strike and Lock-Out of 1853-54 -- inspiration for Dickens's Hard Times & Gaskell's North and South.

A full-time, open-ended lectureship in Ancient History at Leeds! It's a different department to me but your duties will still include being asked interminable questions about ancient weirdos by me, your colleague with a healthy interest.

A comic-strip's-eye-view of Operation Barbarossa - such a good theme (and much more important than it might seem at first glance)
The hard copy of my first chapter in an edited volume just arrived!

I wrote on the comic strip "The Misadventures of Private Neaţă" that ran from 1940 to 1944. I'm pleased that I got to go into more detail on the subject than I could in my book. Really fun/interesting.

So what is the best way to 'bookmark' posts here?

Apart from liking them, has anyone got a good mechanism to store good posts and links?

Any help fellow #academics?
