Excited to share that I will be presenting at the NJ Historical Commission’s 2024 NJ History Conference. I’ll be sharing stories from pension records that recapture personal accounts of those that participated in the Battles of Connecticut Farms and Springfield during the American Revolution🪶

In the wake of the Salem Witch Trials, Cotton Mather became famous for his book, Wonders of the Invisible World. Explore Mather’s letters about the trials in our latest blog post! johnjburnslibrary.wordpress.com/2024/11/22/c...

Cotton Mather Letters
332 years ago, just 30 miles from Boston College’s main campus, a series of accusations of witchcraft in Salem Village would launch what we know today as the Salem Witch Trials.

Take your dragon out for a fly.

This is an #earlymodern advice (from Athanasius Kircher), on how to and when to use your private #dragon to make an impression. The image is part of Kircher's 1678 "Mundus Subterraneus" (access: www.digitale-sammlungen.de/de/view/bsb1... ), and ...

A very important article on John Locke, the Fundamenatl Constitution of Carolina, and slavery.

Very fine close reading of the documents, and setting them within a much bigger picture.

A second for this vast, vast field. I've been adding as people tag me or as I see folks joining, but let me know if you're working on the early Americas and you're not here yet! // go.bsky.app/JTUrohP

Hello, new followers! Reposting this recent announcement for those who missed it: New era for the HLQ. Please share widely! If you study the #earlymodern period (c. 1400-1800) in any discipline, we'd love to see what you're working on. www.pennpress.org/journals/jou...
A flyer advertising a call for submissions for the Huntington Library Quarterly. The Text reads: The Huntington Library Quarterly (HLQ) is a peer-reviewed journal featuring original research and new perspectives on the early modern period, broadly defined (c. 1400–1800). Its content reflects an early modern world that was connected and cosmopolitan, with diverse communities and cultures increasingly linked by the circulation of people, ideas, social practices, and material objects in ways that transcend disciplinary and geographic boundaries. We invite submissions that draw on the sources, methods, and theoretical frameworks of literature, art, history, science, medicine, material culture, music, performance, and critical cultural studies, with a preference for scholarship that is broadly legible across disciplines. HLQ’s historical focus on Britain and its American colonies has been dramatically expanded to embrace broader and more diverse fields of inquiry, including scholarship rooted in continental Europe, the African Diaspora, and the Indigenous Americas, as well as their intersections with Mediterranean, Pacific, and Indian Ocean worlds. The Huntington Library Quarterly (HLQ) invites article submissions for two featured issues that will mark the journal’s new direction. Submissions received before 15 January 2025 will be evaluated for the first of these issues, to be published in September 2025. Submissions received before 15 March 2025 will be evaluated for the second of these issues, to be published in December 2025.
