Germany's Basic Law turns 70 today. Thanks to four women equal rights were enshrined in Germany's constitution! #70JahreGrundgesetz #BasicLaw #GG70 #70JahreGG

[Claudia Sternberg @CSternberg1]

Perhaps of interest at a time of constitutional problems and difficult elections: The German Basic Law (#Grundgesetz) is 70 years old today. More @DeutscheWelle https://t.co/SZyaKRbz57

I know we’re all squeezed due to austerity etc but this is a great project and needs a little help to push it along https://t.co/9YbQIHwZHZ @leeds_east #leeds #makerspace #community #socialengagement #peoplematter #commons #makers

[East Leeds Project @leeds_east]

We’re pretty excited to announce that we’ve taken on a room of our own in #Gipton, above the Methodist Church in the heart of the community (well three rooms actually...) Come see us soon #Leeds!

With the luxury of time I spent three days at the 'Shared Heritage' festival organised by @LivingLegacies3 in #Belfast: a diverse, inspiring and generous event with a rich programme, great organisation and the added value of Irish/Northern Irish historical sensibilities.

[LivingLegacies @LivingLegacies3]

Our policy breakfast is well-underway! Our delegates have been fed and watered and are now deep in discussion about all things ‘Shared Heritage’

Thanks for keeping on digging for details about Frank and Sophie West, a British German couple from over 100 years ago.

[Jackie Depelle @JackieDepelle]

@ArchiveAngel @FederationFHS ... and guess what ... fresh searching on return home has located F E West's marriage - in New Jersey indexes - just as anticipated. Definately a eureka moment. Record not online @AncestryUK when last worked on the #Rhuleben project. @CSternberg1 @InternierungWWI @LegaciesofWW1

Looking forward to hanging out in #AboveTheNoise for late opening on Wednesday followed by a short trip over the road to @CityParkBD to join the @RamadanTent @OpenIftar event. Love the opportunities that arise as part of @BNM_Project @FAHACS

[Men, Women and Care @MenWomenCare]

It may feel as if Parliament does nothing but talk about #Brexit at the moment, but they do do other things. Today they published @thehistorygirl1 and @EBoyle’s written evidence to the Women and Equalities Committee’s inquiry on male mental health: https://t.co/5E3vdyH8ma

[Claudia Sternberg @CSternberg1]

Much to see in #Belfast. On a further insightful visit organised by @LivingLegacies3 we were taken to the on-board museum @HMSCaroline.

A super day of filming for a TV programme today. Details have to remain under wraps for now but oh, what fun! Looking forward to its broadcast on national TV later this year. Watch this space! #WW1 #internment

[Knockaloe Internment Camp Isle of Man @Knockaloe1]

A wonderful evening last night. After six years of incredibly hard work last night saw the launch of the Centre for WW1 Internment at Knockaloe. In Patrick Old School Rooms and the former courthouse for Knockaloe Camp the vision of a few has become a reality to many.

[FAHACS @FAHACS]
