My book, Breaking the Glass Ceiling of Science: the first 11 women to become Fellows of the Royal Society 1945-1954 was published yesterday by the History Press. https://t.co/P7qCQG3veP. Thanks to everyone involved. It looks great.🙂

@PaigeKesemeyer Hi Paige, we appreciate that the library closure is disruptive. We're working on preparations for the libraries to reopen - there's a lot of planning involved to make sure it's safe for everyone so we don't yet know when we'll be able to open. 1/5

Chris here - I wanted to give a shout out to the great team transcribing over 800 videos from the #SouthBankShow Production Archive: https://t.co/QHuTwtlox3.

These will make the collection SO much more searchable and accessible. Even better, it can be done from home!

[Leeds Uni Library @UoLLibrary]

Well, that's it from Special Collections. Before we go, one last reminder - there is a trove of rare and unique items in our collections with many digitised items that can be viewed from home.

Take a look through our collections and we will see you soon: https://t.co/hxA2QOdqRG
