My mind has been in the 17th century so long, I keep typing 16-- while working on this new Victorian-era book. #historianproblems
Iโve fallen asleep more than a few times at the National Archives. They need better pillows in the research room. #HistorianProblems
Who was more excited for our #ArchivesSleepover - the children or the adults? Our guests slept under the dome of the Rotunda on October 19. Mark your calendars for the next #ArchivesSleepover on Feb. 1-2! Follow @Archivesfdn for registration details. https://t.co/Ykr0lSGVnF
When you get called back to the receptionist's desk because you accidentally put today's date on the form as 01/07/1940, as you're far too immersed in writing about that year at the moment ๐ brb just going to curl up in a ball & quietly expire... #historianproblems
Day two of #AHA24 down. Great panels on the all volunteer military, graduate students and early career were great! Tomorrow another full day of panels and possibly running out of space in my bag for books. Only bought one today but tomorrow is coming. ๐ #historianproblems
Annoying my wife because the chalkboard in this movie weโre watching is WRONG ๐ #historianproblems
So it turns out, "Did you know President Tyler still has a living grandchild?" isn't a very good pick-up line.
#HistorianProblems
One of the worst lines I've ever read in a letter:
"Since I saw you last, so many things of importance have taken place about us, that I think I shall mention none of them, because I cannot tell the whole."
THAT IS THE WRONG DECISION #historianproblems
When you find something you absolutely MUST have at the National Library of Wales but you only have 1 day when you can possibly get it because of other archive appointmentsโ you try to figure out if you can get to Aberystwyth & back in 1 day! #historianproblems #archives
Oh no, I need page 207 which is in the middle, but the pages have never been cut! ๐ฑ ๐ฌ๐๐ <tries to squint down gap> #Dilemma #HistoryOfNaturalHistory #HistorianProblems #BookNerd
Who knew that the hardest part of this project was inserting page numbers after the title page and ToC in Word... #HistorianProblems
Also, the edition of Are You There God? that I read as a kid still had menstrual belts instead of adhesive pads. I didnโt realize they updated that in later book editions and was disappointed there were no menstrual belts in the movie. #historianproblems
I kinda want this shirt for as long as I'm stil in the academic job market. Fitting...

It just hit me: Wordle is basically a crappy version of paleography. #historianproblems
When the obituary of the person youโre researching is behind a paywall and you just need that one page. ๐ข
(Does anyone have a https://t.co/MnrNpfldhk or a Hartford Courant subscription?) #HistorianProblems
When you started collecting sources a decade ago on a project, when you werenโt proficient at transcribing & now wonder why you struggled so much as you are cleaning up earlier work, but then remember you never got training in paleography as a modern historian #historianproblems
It would be nice if census takers had written legibly. There's so much information I can't read because their handwriting is awful. I have no problem with neatly written cursive. #HistorianProblems #twtitterstorians
It distresses me when i see undated historical letters (see: Henry VIII's love letters to Anne Boleyn). Thus, I always date my own letters, at least with the year. I have no illusions that i will ever be noteworthy, but i have to have it there, just in case! #historianproblems
@SteamboatUSA I looked at the numbers and my first thought is โ1640 is a weird year to pick. At least something major happened in 1776.โ #historianproblems
I keep finding coded telegrams in FWW nursing files, which have been then decided in the file and am agog. Desperately trying to resist this rabbit warren of researchโฆ #historianproblems #fww #fww100 #histnursing
My ears are bleeding from overhearing three older ladies in my local coffee shop speaking about Canadian and Quรฉbรฉcois history from a to z and having not said a single correct thing in two hours. This is worse than sitting through a highly inaccurate movie... #historianproblems
