Do you ever have a source that you know is useful but so pretentious and patronising that you actually can't stand to read it?😒

[Piston,Pen & Press ⛏️⚙️✍️📚 @PistonPen]

Great material here about working printers in the asylum, and their literary works!

[London 19C Studies Seminar ‘Grad Strand’ @LNCSSGS]

Out of all the courses I did as an undergrad, palaeography is one I use the most day-to-day.

If the contemporaries struggled with the terminology, what chance do we have?

[Iona Craig @craig_iona]

I present a report from 1881 where a request for the 'Reading Room' had already gone through a committee and council meeting before, at the public meeting, they realised half of them were talking about a 'News Room', and the others were talking about a 'Library Reading Room'.
