@MissMPelletier @HistoryBrockU Congratulations! The event yesterday was well-attended and really positive. But we missed you there!

Your paper’s great, & we will highlight it with guests at this year’s Sankey Lecture on Freemason Studies on Sunday the 14th (see https://t.co/Zkl40dU9Q9)

You’re teaching now?

Fantastic Guided Spirit Walks at Victoria Lawn Cemetery in St. Catharines tonight, by the @StCMuseum. The actors did an awesome job! The Rykert scene was my favourite… who knew we’d still be complaining about the roads all these years later. 😉 #ourhomestc

These alternative sources make me wonder: What kinds of sources could we "find" re the #Mennonite past?

Suggestion: "Swiss-American historiographical simplicity lamenting Dutch Mennonite historians having way more fun in the pub."

Apologies to the ghost of Pieter Langendijk!

I just heard ⁦Brent Bambury interview ⁦@petridishes⁩ on CBC’s Day 6. At least 1 colleague ⁦(@rlaffsal⁩) gets her history students to invent historical sources that illustrate course themes. ⁦Fun stuff! Good for #historicalthinking! https://t.co/tQOCSabnBm

Because most women printers went by ‘widow of’, they are often collapsed into the same record as their husbands in bibliographic metadata. We are using catalogues, authority files, & archives to identify given names and make them searchable in our database! #USTCTwitterTakeover

@HistoryBrockU Small correction: Jamie Ireland is now the Deputy Grand Master. In time he will become the next Grand Master of Ontario’s Masons. He’s been a strong supporter of the BrockU / Grand Lodge partnership that has helped so many students. We at BrockU really appreciate his support.
