This is really important if you are a historian working with UK data. There is a proposal to destroy historic wills after they've been digitised - a terrible idea, since often you miss the details unless you've seen a document up close and in person. PLEASE sign!

I really like talking to and supporting people leaving academia and unhappy jobs. I've helped three people this week with cover letter & resume consultations/editing and informational interviews. If you want to talk about next steps, let me know if I may be of help.

[Whitmore Rare Books @WRareBooks]

@rebeccaromney I definitely agree there! And your point is well taken that it still happens too often, and that consistency or attempts at consistency matter a lot. I was just suggesting that sometimes it's born out of a twisted system that leaves us with limited/imperfect options.
