@mkhokhar Love this. May make translators, transcribers and minute takers nervous but think how much faster actual scholarship can progress if we can get archives into text/metadata that much quicker

(Kudos for finding the time to experiment!)

Also paging @kenn_taylor

...although I'm as suprised as the next person at the renaissance of the Duck and Drake

I like the reverence with which this GNER microwaved cheeseburger package is housed in York Railway Museum. 🚆 🍔

[Katherine Bavage @BavageLeeds]

Sadly yes the SCR now refurbished but I think I can confirm it did exist and @jenkolovesbeer am I right book groups used to meet there?

[Otto Saumarez Smith @OSaumarezSmith]

After many years searching I’ve managed to acquire a copy of Chamberlin Powell & Bon’s 1960 plan for Leeds University. Thing most striking compared to contemporary universities is the astonishingly ambitious plan for an SCR, with a grand double cube dining room based on Greenwich

[University of Leeds @UniversityLeeds]

A historically significant Samuel Taylor Coleridge anti-slavery poem has been acquired by @UoLLibrary.

The manuscript was put under export bar by the government because of it's importance to UK history and national life, offering insights into the abolition of slavery campaign.

Congrats to all recipients including @Andrea_L_Taylor and #CDRLeeds colleagues for securing funding the @UniversityLeeds team will reveal how people understand risks of extreme weather and how to communicate these to save lives and communities - cant wait to see the work unfold

Morning from #leeds 🌤️

[Dr Nadine Cavigioli SFHEA @nadia_cav]

If you work at the @UniversityLeeds, self-identify as having working-class heritage & would like to meet up with similar others, do get in touch. A group of us are having a Teams get-together on the 28 Nov at 4:30pm

... AND we will be joined by the fabulous @DrTeresaCrew 🤩!!

[Katherine Bavage @BavageLeeds]

@tuttifruttiprod @ace_national Was really pleased to see you guys in there, and so many strong performing arts orgs in the region generally

[Smeaton300 @smeaton300]

Are you aware of this incredible edible feat of civil engineering in Leeds @ICELibrary @ICE_engineers @BritishBakeOff ?

Something to think about for our Smeaton300 celebrations in 2024 🍞

[Katherine Bavage @BavageLeeds]

Lots for the Leeds Bradford city region to celebrate here - a hub of performance and diverse arts leadership, setting us up brilliantly for @LEEDS_2023 @bradford2025

Commiserations to those not funded, it's a hard break and not a reflection of how special or needed the work

[Arts Council England @ace_national]

NEW: We’re investing in 990 organisations for the next three years so that more people in more places can enjoy creativity and culture wherever they are.

[Katherine Bavage @BavageLeeds]

Really interesting piece of work out by @suttontrust today on accent bias. Ironically, I had a chat about this last night at a Social Mobility themed working dinner - as a Yorkshire lass have my flat 'a's held me back?

Perhaps more importantly, managed to produce a life stage appropriate Halloween 🎃

[Katherine Bavage @BavageLeeds]

Return from maternity leave update:

Week one - managed to log into our CRM

Week two - managed to contact a few people

Very definitely back then 🙌

@Sophia_Lamb_10 @CecileJEGuigui @dmk1793 @IHRHistoryLab This is where I would have recommended, they're a great funder and have supported work in the uni special collections - https://t.co/T1PoBhBhDg

[Katherine Bavage @BavageLeeds]

@clare_co6 @UniversityLeeds Ahhh that's such a nice addition to that area!
