Brilliant first afternoon of the Social History Curators Group Conference! Deeply insightful and thought-provoking discussions about embracing museums' power to evoke emotion while also safeguarding staff and stakeholders, particularly from @LDN_Museum.

Just had a quick look around the brilliant #privateparts @thackraymuseum love the selfie booth & the “nothing rude” instructions 😂

[Natascha A-S @NataschaA_S]

Really encouraging and motivating discussions so far in the @collectiontrust's #RethinkingCataloguing conference. Clear goals for #museums to aim for in our documentation practice, with concrete suggestions for achievable foundation steps. #CollectionsTrust

We've found another intriguing object in our archives!

Tudor Edwards oxygen spectacles, circa 1930 – 1950 👓 These unusual-looking frames have no lenses and have nothing to do with improving vision, but provided a method of administering oxygen!

Happy #ValentinesDay! For her 1909 wedding, Gertrude Mabel Clutterbuck embroidered her maiden initials onto her left shoe and her married initials onto her right shoe, crossing out the C to favour her new surname, Reynolds. The floral card dates from 1880-1900. #MuseumValentine

@YorkshireMuseum Is it the skin of the bat that started #Covid19? Because that would be a heck of an acquisition. #LieToMe

A brilliant, blistering monologue from @StephenAtHome. My heart goes out to all the Americans who have been forced to watch in horror as this anarchy unfolds in their own homeland. #Capitol #CapitolBuilding #riots

When looking through the photos from my brief time with the #CWGFInterns last spring, this one stands out. The shadows of my friends remind me that every headstone marks a real person with hopes and loves and aspirations, whose life was cut tragically short. #WeWillRememberThem

The relief of seeing someone legitimately sane, calm and eloquent making a presidential speech after four years of tantrums, vitriol and baseless allegations is just a tonic. Thank you for finally coming down on the side of sanity! #CongratulationsAmerica #BidenHarris2020

On the 75th anniversary of VJ Day, we remember Captain John Niel Randle of the 2nd Battalion Royal Norfolk Regiment, who was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for incredible courage & inspirational leadership during the 1944-5 Burma campaign. #VJDay75 #LestWeForget (thread)

It was a pleasure to pay tribute to this remarkable man on behalf of Norwich Castle. On #VEDay75, let us remember the bravery, sacrifice and gruelling effort of those who gave us Victory in Europe at great cost to themselves.

[Norwich Castle @NorwichCastle]

On #VEDay75, we remember Major David Jamieson of the Royal Norfolk Regiment, who as a 23-year-old Captain was awarded the Victoria Cross for his ‘outstanding courage and leadership’ during a desperate 36-hour battle, despite being wounded in the eye and forearm. #VEDay THREAD 👇
