Look what I found! A 1922 map of Santa Barbara which shows the Daughters of Charity land holdings. It both answers questions and brings up more.

I'm excited for the @WAWHTweets Western Association of Women Historians conference this weekend. My presentation is on Saturday, but the book launch tomorrow night looks fantastic! Congrats to @KathleenSheldon and @singerphd Katie Singer who will be showcasing their books.

First day back in the archives this week. I'm so grateful for digital access to archival material these days, but it felt good to touch and hold the original documents. This is a 1925 fundraising appeal for St. Vincent's Santa Barbara.

I'm grateful for the Ebell's efforts to amplify women's voices. Participating in this symposium was a wonderful reminder of why I've devoted my career to women's history. #WomensHistoryMonth #twitterstorians

I keep forgetting it's Friday. I guess that's a sign of a successful vacation.

Christmas shopping frustration....I get so excited to get a great coupon, only to find out it doesn't apply to the thing I want.#Christmas #shopping

[Kristine Gunnell, Ph.D. @kristinegunnell]

I'm considering putting together a personal website to better showcase my research. Any "must do" or "never do" things that I should consider? #twitterstorians #AcademicTwitter

So excited to get Katie Singer's book in the mail today! She's got a distinctive take on using oral histories to reconstruct community life in early 20th-century Newark. ##twitterstorians #OHA #oralhistory #greatmigration

Yep, paid $1.80 more a gallon for gas today when we got home. Grr...

In an ironic twist, we save money when leaving California to go on vacation...cheaper food, gas, hotel...

I've always wondered why academic book prices have skyrocketed. Not sure what the solution is....

@seeshespeak So nice that you can have the books out! I'd love to have a library like that. Most of my books are still in boxes. Cataloged? Yes. Displayed? No.

Powerful thread and essay on the history of #Juneteenth from @ZinnEdProject:

“Very often Juneteenth is presented as a story of 'news' of the Emancipation Proclamation 'traveling slowly' to the Deep South and Texas, but it was really a story of power traveling slowly, and of freedom being seized.”
