Bowie at V&A east storehouse. The exhibits are excellent, but it’s the archive side, complete with replica documents to leaf through, that really introduces people to the archive. People kept checking they were allowed to look at them but then sat fascinated for ages.

A few interesting things from #histday25. New home for the Music Hall Society in Lambeth Archives. NUWT archives @ucl.ac.uk. Port of London archive is open at Museum of Docklands. HIV Story Trust is preserving the story of HIV and AIDS. And it’s the best spot in London for postcards and bookmarks!

Happy to make it to Grayson Perry at the Wallace Collection just before it finished. Good to see this fresh response to such a classic collection - and Newham artist Madge Gill featured too!

On a university nostalgia weekend in Bristol and whilst wandering around Clifton spotted a couple of plaques commemorating suffragettes Annie Kenney and Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence. The visit also gave me a good reason to read this great book on Bristol women by @janeduffus.bsky.social
