The Canadian Letters & Images Project is an online digital archive of Canadians’ experience during wartime at home & in battle. It contains thousands of personal letters & photos that reveal people’s experience through their own words & eyes.

The homepage for the Canadian letters and images project. It shows soldiers posing for a photograph and there is a search bar in the centre. In the about section below, which cannot be seen in this image, it provides this information: The Canadian Letters and Images Project, created in 2000, is an online digital archive of the Canadian war experience, both home front and battlefront, from any conflict in which Canadians have participated. The focus of the project is on the personal materials of participants, such as letters and photographs, which permit us to experience the war through their eyes and their words. These are very often the stories of ordinary Canadians, largely forgotten and overlooked. Our mission is to digitally preserve and continue to make freely accessible this important part of Canada’s heritage for this generation and future generations. The vision of the project is to continue to expand this repository of Canadian archival materials by collaborating with Canadians to preserve and share the individual and collective stories that have shaped our past Accessibility to the past is key to understanding who we are as a nation. We are committed to free access for everyone to the materials of the project. All collections are of equal importance. Every letter, photograph, or other artifact has an important story to tell. The collections and their contents are not edited or censored. Our role as historians is not to judge the past in light of the present, but to present everything in its entirety at the time of its creation.

Irgendwas mache ich offenbar falsch. Ich betreue den intensiv kuratierten Account des @FIDRomanistik.bsky.social, aber uns folgen dort gerade mal 400 Menschen. Gibt es so wenige Romanist:innen bzw. an der Romania Interessiere in Deutschland oder ist das Angebot zu speziell oder zu oberflächlich?

In allen Wörterbüchern erscheint ein #Lemma #althochdeutsch ursa(c)h m./n. 'Grund' mit einem Beleg aus dem Trierer Capitulare, das etymologisch zu nhd. Ursache gestellt wird. Aber bereits 1975 (!) hat Tiefenbach gezeigt, dass der ahd. Ansatz ursag ist (mit derselben #Bedeutung wie ahd. ursaga).

You might have seen pictures from booklets depicting sins (including 'I drank so much I had to vomit'). But what was the purpose of these booklets and how many of them are there? Tine Van Osselaer and I sought it out in a new article that is now published: journals.lub.lu.se/STK/article/...
Two hand-drawn images from a booklet. On the left page, a woman lies passed out next to a table with drinks and the text 'Ebria fui'. On the right page, a woman is vomiting, with an interested pig next to here and the text: 'Ebria fui usque ad vomitum'
