Today is #InternationalArchivesDay so we're going to share the story one of our favourite collections from the Orkney Archive. It's a collection of very special, handmade books which were created by three young #Orkney girls in the 1860s.

Which books have you read because of a TikTok recommendation so far? https://t.co/HO1hNKhuno

[Vaxine Beneba Clarke @slamup]

I know a lot of folks who read my books can’t afford to buy them, or prefer to borrow, and might feel bad about it. I was just notified of my public lending royalties this period, and they will pay 4 entire months rent. So thank you, to all of you!🙏🏾🙏🏾🥰

When I see how rarely cultural orgs post online (for good reason, there's too much shit to do), I'd like to see an experiment where somebody employs a terminally online person who knows their topic who's allowed to focus on pure posting
