It's #NewYearsEve, which calls for a bowl of punch! 🥂 Punch was a popular 18th-century party drink. London-trained silversmith Simeon Coley made this silver punch bowl, on display at the Museum, in New York around 1766.

Hey #twitterstorians: I’m teaching the 2nd half of the US survey for the first time and am thinking about incorporating movies—both movies from the period in question, or depicting the period.
What are your favorite movies to teach about the 20th century?

Excellent discussion about considering location and space as evidence at the #AHA23. It has inspired and challenged me to reconsider how location and space fit into my larger dissertation project.
