@AlmightyAmy Thanks Amy.

You know how archives have that really distinctive smell.

That's the smell of the paper dying.

[British Jesuit Archives @JesuitArchives]

In 1608 the Jesuit Rules declared that the #Jesuit Archivist should:
'...keep all documents diligently...and place all letters which he does not need to hand in an archive...'

An unexpected visitor has been found rummaging through our archive boxes this morning

Throwback to a year ago - all our collections boxed up, about to move offsite. After 6 months of building work we now have beautiful new archive spaces, and the collections are (mostly) back.

Receive his soul and present him to God the most high. RIP Archbishop Mario.

[Archdiocese of Glasgow @ArchdiocGlasgow]

Archbishop Mario died peacefully last night after a short illness. A gentle and kindly shepherd and a man of dialogue and vision. Requiescat in pace.

Today is the last day of my University of Aberdeen Library Fellowship! Many thanks to the amazing team at @uoacollections and to all the friendly staff I've met at @aberdeenuni over the last two weeks, it has been a pleasure to work through the @ScotCathArch collection!

[Liam Temple @LiamPeterTemple]

I love the blunt assessment given of a 17thC Jesuit letter in @uoacollections by a later reader ... "nothing". I think I'd have to disagree! #twitterstorians #CathHist @ScotCathArch

[Fr. Michael J Kane @FrKane]

Join us at St Augustine’s as we celebrate the living legacy of Brother Walfrid 135 years on from the Club’s foundation. Let’s give thanks to God for Celtic’s Catholic roots & it’s ongoing charitable ethos. Mass & events Friday 18th Nov from 7pm. All welcome 🙏🏻 @Tam_Selleck

Today I'm searching through lists of Scottish missionary priests for any evidence of Capuchin involvement 🔎🧐 @uoacollections @ScotCathArch #CathHist #twitterstorians #history #Catholicism

[Liam Temple @LiamPeterTemple]

Today I'm reading this- an account of the Scottish Mission that was sent to Propaganda Fide by Thomas Innes c. 1727. It describes attempting to spread/maintain Catholicism in Scotland as "one of the hardest missions in the world" #CathHist #twitterstorians #Scotland #history

[Liam Temple @LiamPeterTemple]

End of the first week of my @aberdeenuni Library Fellowship with @uoacollections looking at the @ScotCathArch collections. The staff here have been amazing, and I'm finding lots of Capuchin material for my postdoc! #twitterstorians #history #archives #CathHist

[Liam Temple @LiamPeterTemple]

Another great find in my search for Capuchins in the @ScotCathArch collection at @uoacollections! A copy of Gregorio Panzani's report on English Catholicism sent to Urban VIII in 1637! A great perspective on critical issues within Catholicism in period! #CathHist #twitterstorians
