A belated thank-you to @BATW_tweets for a wonderful conference in Pittsburgh! After three days of tourism in Boston and three days of rest at home, I realised I should post something about it - wonderful time, wonderful people, wonderful city. See y'all in Winchester next year!

@imo_GaymerPhD Congrats!! This was such a good read, even to my historian eyes, wonderful to see it finally 'in print'!

Finally home after a wonderful week at the British School at Rome.

I won't forget the sights, I won't forget the city, and I definitely won't forget how my legs feel after 270,000 steps this week. But most of all, I won't forget the friends I made along the way. Thanks guys.

And if you should ever find yourself in College Station, the Bush Library is excellent - would have been well worth a visit even if I wasn't there for research!

Some belated Texas pictures - can't thank the HGSO at @TAMU enough for putting on such a wonderful conference!

*yes I picked this because Leeds paid my subsistence and I was determined to spend all £20 of it

PhD Day 115: 5 years ago I had lunch here at King's Cross before my first archive trip, for my undergrad dissertation on Korea.* Today I'm here again, but now en route to Heathrow and then 🤠Texas🤠 for the first research trip (& conference!) of a much bigger project. Time flies!

I hope whoever redacted this particular CIA document from 1991 was very pleased with themselves when they whipped out that "approved for release" stamp
