My favourite acquisition from #HistDay25, which was, as usual, a great opportunity to join my colleagues in spreading the word about @histparl.bsky.social, and to find out about lots of other exciting resources, archives, libraries and more. Thanks @ihr.bsky.social and all the organisers!

Marking the end of an era at the History of Parliament with a staff farewell gathering yesterday for @pseaward.bsky.social, who has been a brilliant and inspiring director for all my time there (and longer still). But looking forward to reading the book he will finally have time to write!
