The right move:
This is a final post on X from @RoyalHistSoc. From Friday 21 February we have ceased posting and have moved entirely to BlueSky.
Please join us there for news and updates from the Society and about #history and historians.
#twitterstorians
Break my ban on posting here (join Bluesky for timely updates) in order that @PStiffell can enjoy this from @bookscapes visit to the Thomas Plume Library in Maldon.
If you are not yet on Bluesky, then you will be late to the news: booking is open for an exciting event @bodleianlibs celebrating a new arrival in its medieval manuscript collection, taking place on 21st March 2025 - and free!

This is TOMORROW! Still time to book...
If you're only on X, you will be late to the news but for all palaeographers and fragment-lovers, we have a treat for you next week: come to hear Jaakko Tahkokallio, Tuesday 11th Feb, 5:30pm (and online too):

Reading for a wet Sunday, inspired by @britishlibrary's Medieval Women exhibition:

A reminder for those of you have still not upgraded to another site:
Just under a fortnight to apply for this funded PhD position working within @memsunikent and with @westminsterabbey on #fragments @lostmss
If you have any questions, do drop me a line.
As I said over in A Better Place, this is an exciting time for @lostmss - upgraded and ready for some new adventures in 2025...
Fragments suited and rebooted! We are thrilled to launch our brand new website with our growing database of medieval fragments and host volumes, IIIF images and project highlight pages. Check it out at the link below and follow for more updates! 📜🚀🎉

Heartening to see this but by using Musk's platform, we are unavoidably complicit in his poison.

Over in a better place, I am wishing all well for this new year. Will 2025 be when you make the switch?
I can start us off on Research that Riles:
I was an editor of this book just out hup.harvard.edu/books/978067…
My part was to edit a short work by a little-known humanist on the tyranny of Julius Caesar. Who needs telling that such a power-hungry, predatory rule-breaker was a wrong'un?
Given how hate-filled towards the humanities and to newly minted doctors (congratulations, @DrAllyLouks) Twatter is being at the moment, let's do one thing before we close down our accounts and finally move elsewhere.
Let's have a celebration of Research that Riles the Haters.

This essay was a previous @Medium_Aevum Essay Prize winner - proof that the winner receives not just glory but may also see their work in print! That is, if you apply: deadline each year is the start of December, so that means this year it is... TOMORROW!

Bad news, good news for all manuscript scholars. That wonderful resource for provenance research, MLGB3, is still down but @bodleianlibs has updated the text. There is now a statement of 'firm intention to rebuild the resource' and to develop MLGB4. Thank you,
