Brilliant to see the creativity and skill on display by ENU students reinterpreting the Renaissance painted ceiling inside Merchiston Tower! A great example of what can be achieved when students connect with heritage collections 😊

Working to develop @enuheritage.bsky.social for the past two and a half years has been an enormous privilege, and I'll greatly miss all the lovely colleagues and collections I've gotten to know during that period!

With the paperwork out of the way, I'm absolutely chuffed to announce I'll be taking up the position of Curator at the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh (@natlibscot.bsky.social), looking after its early printed collections up to 1700. Deeply honoured and excited to get started!

Come and join this event at the NLS tomorrow where @sudlow-mckay.bsky.social and myself will be representing
@edinburghnapier.bsky.social's Heritage Collections to talk about the nurses at Craiglockhart War Hospital (1916-1919).

There's still time to register! www.tickettailor.com/events/edinb...

Next week, we're hosting a wonderful talk by Prof. Alison Fell, whose title, 'Glorifying Women: Remembering Women’s Roles in WWI,' directly speaks to Sassoon's poem 'Glory of Women.'

The event is free and open to all, but ticketed. Reserve using the link below:

Back in July, a very special item was donated to our War Poets Collection: an original poem by Siegfried Sassoon, written while he was staying at Craiglockhart War Hospital (which is now the campus for ENU's business school).
