Historical photograph crowdsourcing request:

TR & WH Taft campaigned @nelsonvillecity in '12. I'm looking for a photo to credit that hoping shows the Mine Tavern next door.

Great visit to @ToledoMuseum today. Special exhibition on magic in the ancient world and a glassblowing demo. Final field trip of the semester. Glad @ohionorthern gives students these opportunities. @history_at_onu @onualumni

Attended the WNY regional @myphialphatheta conference @IthacaCollege over the weekend. Great to catch up with @UB_History grad school colleague Phil Guingona, now at @NazarethColl.

I took my 'Heritage Preservation' class to @SauderVillage last week. As the place doesn't open to the public for another couple weeks, we had it all to ourselves. We had a little assistance finding the hidden speakeasy in the 1920s Main Street. @ohionorthern

My grandmother owned so much early American pressed glass like this. Cool duo here. @WilliamJenBryan spoke thrice @ohionorthern and @PresMcKinley was shot in my grad school city of @BuffaloNiagara @LincolnNebraska @Salem_HS @MckinleyMuseum @NilesOhio

When I see items like this, I wonder: Was this purchased at the 1876 Centennial World's Fair?!

(3/3) Who needs an absorbinantly priced English history book for Christmas? No mentions of Scrooge, Father Christmas, or The Snowman... rather Magna Carta, the Crystal Palace, Peterloo, and the Battle of Hastings

(2/3) A line from the @contbrithist review:
"Strittmatter makes an important contribution to the history of British preservation and heritage after the grand 19th-century wave of protecting the past." @BATW_tweets @PalgraveHistory This should beat the review in @JBritishStudies.

[David Strittmatter @DavidStritt]

(1/3) Just saw the review of my book in the June issue of @contbrithist... Final line of the review: This book "stands as a valuable spur to begin this work of chronicling how heritage operates and alters as a device for articulating national identity." Good. Thanks. @Palgrave
