Thrilled to have been awarded a @BritishAcademy_ @LeverhulmeTrust Small Research Grant for a project with @SepsCollections and Jonathan Bush. We will be thinking critically about the ways in which scholars work with religious orders and their valuable collections.

Our cataloguer working on the library of the Canonesses of the Holy Sepulchre gets to see some amazing marbled endpapers – like these!
The first is from CHS 325 (1769). The second is from CHS 339 (1765) – but we think that the marbled endpapers could from much later in the 1800s
