@CardiffStreets @Cardifftweeter @FOR_Cardiff They are called Mile Stones, when travel was slow and challenging. The original term for 'milestone', and as mentioned a very early roadsign.

3/3 Those poor crewmembers of the Endurance, who prevailed against such odds, just to be struck down and killed in war a few years later. What has been learned from history? I pray there are no Ukranian or Russians aboard #endurance22 @thehistoryguy lest history cruelly repeat.

[Graham Davies @gd76]

1/3 Amazing & remarkable achievement #endurance22 @thehistoryguy

Alas I fear an omen from the past... Just as Endurance slipped into the depths in 1915 countries were sadly at war with each other. Now on its discovery all these years later countries are again, sadly at war...

[Graham Davies @gd76]

2/3 I can't help but feel the remarkable preservation of Endurance after 100+ years alludes to humanities remarkable preservation for conflict. Not much has altered under the waves or above it seems. We strive to learn so much about the world, but yet what lesson of ourselves?...

[Graham Davies @gd76]

We all love data, well I do... If you have a 'data story' to tell, then check out this years Museums and Tech conference - call open until the 13th Sept https://t.co/nJztUnH0Xy

[Graham Davies @gd76]

Anyone know of any effective software tools to aid with senior level decision making (esp. Museum Exhibitions) that also allows transparancy, input and collaboration from internal teams? Anyone use Trello for this🤔? @pipdiment

[Graham Davies @gd76]

@DafJames 😮👍😍

#MW19 top tip from @jenstaves @ExploreWellcome
Use images that help tell your digital stories, not just decorate them.

[Graham Davies @gd76]

Some great insights into creating successful blog strategies with @MIHistoryCenter and @cubris - Make sure you prioritise your writing in relation to your Audience, Theme and Perspective. Remember to include a call to action or onward journey too!! #MW19
