When Nicolas Moll and Sarah Farmer give fabulous talks about French resistance, transnational trajectories and communists and you get to chair and it’s a packed house #GCFHSResist

Two weeks ago I was in New Orleans reading the Merci Train papers in New Orleans at the Museum of Jazz - sometimes you travel far to see only a slim folder but it’s so worth it

D-Day in D.C. continues to amaze! Randomly caught a bit of the great documentary DDay: The Unheard Tapes showing on History Chanel www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... very strange seeing myself play rock paper scissors on national tv @wminhumanities.bsky.social

Another day, Another archive. Took AmTrak down to Richmond, Virginia to see their Merci Train file and private papers of David FE Bruce (who made some excellent wine recommendations in his correspondence…) also: Founding Fathers magnet. My heart is full.

My first time at the Library of Congress & I already can’t wait to come back. Met friendliest archivists, had delicious lunch, and finding incredible photographs of Merci Train. Even used the magnifying glass and found some real hidden treasures in them. @librarycobg also: love a fancy corridor…
