This is a great opportunity to help gather and preserve the historical experiences of women and gender-diverse folks in #Newfoundland and #Labrador. Thanks so much to Dale Jarvis and @hfnlca for partnering with us on this exciting initiative!
We have a great lecture coming up this Thursday with Michael Connors, about the history of the NL Press Gallery Association. The lecture will be at the Colonial Building in St. John's and also live-streamed here: https://t.co/TpaI2rjV9H #nlhistory#media

Mark you calendars! This is going to be a great event, focusing on everyday people and their perspectives of Confederation. The research is based on letters that people from across the province wrote to Smallwood, housed at Archives & Special Collections. @MUN_asc@Greenspond555
Please join us on March 28th at 7:30 pm (NDT) for a roundtable on Confederation through the words of those who lived it -- at Bruneau Hall @MemorialU and livestreamed at https://t.co/SfPtgtBE3Z @storied_selves @vshallett @heidicoombsphd @manltweets @hfnlca@MunHistSoc#nlhistory
@storied_selves Could it be "Bankes were flying... as in "Blanks" or "Blankes"? Doesn't look like there is an "l" in the word, but it would make sense in the context of a gun salute. And the a's look like o's in other words.
@storied_selves A little late to the discussion here but, like @slewisimpson, I think it's NFLDer. That's the first thing I saw. And actually, it looks like "NFLDer & disappointed confederate. Carbonear" which makes sense if they are saying Peter Cashin is the only one who told the truth.
