First visit to Butrint, the astonishing Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian site in #Albania - supported by the Butrint Foundation, Rothschild Foundation and @TheLinburyTrust amongst others. The archives are held @WaddesdonManor looked after by @cmstaylor

@melindahaunton Late lunch and a quick blow outside to find Waddesdon's snowdrops (with bonus celandines and elephants) #JacobinDay

[Catherine Taylor @cmstaylor]

@jessamycarlson I have a friend doing the long one. He's still going. They are all superhuman.

@DaneAnne @JTullock Sorry I failed to come back to X and have notifications turned off. Thank you for looking - all I know is they signed the Visitors' Book for those dates. Egerton House was Jeanne Clayton's though and she's also there!

[Catherine Taylor @cmstaylor]

Any thoughts on who's signature this might be? A visitor to Waddesdon on 20-22 July 1929 alongside Mary, Princess Royal, Lascelles, Margaret Greville of Polesden Lacey, the Bessboroughs and some Rothschilds... #Archives #VisitorsBook #signatures

[Catherine Taylor @cmstaylor]

@JTullock Oh good call. I've had a suggest that it might be Brenda Countess Wilton but it would be great to verify!

[Catherine Taylor @cmstaylor]

@rhsgill We also thought probably Brenda and maybe Di Wole but that means nothing....

[Catherine Taylor @cmstaylor]

@SimonWales0 What sad news. A great loss.

[Catherine Taylor @cmstaylor]

@jessamycarlson @Ldn_Ambulance Nooo. I'm sorry that's pants. Hope the painkillers are working and you can enjoy the next few days a bit xx

@MoJGovUK Digitisation to improve access is great - though I'd love to see indexing on that scale that is accurate and works! Destroying most of the originals afterwards is an idiotic proposal and tantamount to vandalism - digital preservation on this scale is not a permanant option!

[William Kilbride @WilliamKilbride]

@MoJGovUK This is a profound mistake. Despite leading so much #digitalpreservation good practice and capability, the UK is about 20 years away from having the qualifird leadership and competence in depth to approach a project like this. I know about these things. This is a mistake.

[Catherine Taylor @cmstaylor]

Such a great thing to celebrate and wonderful to see people in person - and remember how tall some of them are! It's been a pleasure to be involved. Now I really ought to actually get that application in... #ArchivesAccreditn10

[Melinda Haunton @melindahaunton]

Getting started at #ArchivesAccreditn10 Geoff Pick, chair of the Committee, is starting us off. We haven't cut the cake yet...

[Melinda Haunton @melindahaunton]

Geoff wrapping up now with words on the future: we are looking ahead to the 10 year review (DO THE SURVEY IF YOU HAVEN'T https://t.co/Uh4oIjfEfc). Collaboratively we can contribute to strengthening archives across the UK #ArchivesAccreditn10

@scottishruth @Mcintoshheidi @SarahAitchiso10 @melindahaunton My train wifi has also been awful as I Stn the mobile signal. I'm listening to my audiobook instead!

[Catherine Taylor @cmstaylor]

@SarahAitchiso10 @melindahaunton I ended up tethering my phone so I could send SAR related emails 😬

[Catherine Taylor @cmstaylor]

@LizARees @Mcintoshheidi @melindahaunton I have reached Birmingham! Looking forward to seeing you all.
