@revdclare @spmarylebone @dioceseoflondon @churchofengland Congratulations!

This is the earliest surviving printed advert in English publishing history. Printed by William Caxton in 1477, it advertises his edition of the Sarum Pye, a priest’s book of saint's days. Customers are directed to his shop, the Red Pale in the Almonry, Westminster.

Arch. G e.37

@SimoninSuffolk Edna was lovely! She lived in Orford all her life, was a Land Girl in WW2, had a German POW billeted with her who returned to Germany then came back to Orford after the war and lived the rest of his life with Edna and her husband. And Edna really did feed the ducks every day.

@revdclare Congratulations Mahalia! It's the best college -- she'll have a ball!

Sometimes, vintage booklets have the most amazing illustrations (that must've cost a fortune to produce). Here's a 1941 double-page spread in a Knox Gelatine booklet!

Spent yesterday delivering archives in need of tlc to the #NCS and picking up material already conserved. The studio and storage areas are housed in splendidly atmospheric Cold War bunkers — and even the sky was suitably lowering. #ArchivesLife

One of my favorite food history books just in - a beautiful 1965 first edition! https://t.co/JTNaABIWTN

[Dr Lucy Vinten @LucyVinten]

What makes a good archive exhibition? I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently and wrote a blog about it.

[British Jesuit Archives @JesuitArchives]

How to make interesting archive #exhibitions, telling stories from the collections while ensuring the safety of the archive items themselves?

Our new #blogpost is a reflection on #ArchiveExhibitions
