A small enough worry from the cancer trenches, but cancelling book events planned for summer is a sorry thing.
Thank you, John Milton: 'Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are...'.

When the Primary Cancer Diagnosis landed, writing about it seemed a ghoulish prospect, but after the Secondary Diagnosis — now I know this will be with me until the end of days — I plan to write a book: ‘Battle Cry: On Cancer, Conflict, and the Writing Cure’.

We will have more people to name, of course but lately these are the works that caught our attention.

The MSPA is evidence of the birth of a new State and of the attitude of successive governments towards veterans. It also contains countless local stories. Each file contains more material to explore gender, local dynamics, histories of family and emotions, emigration...and so much more

Whether research yields academic or public history work, we couldn't be happier that our archive @msp-archive.bsky.social enables names to be known and voices to be heard: women, dependants and whole families. A collection that can deliver so extensively on macro-history AND micro-histories is rare
