Reading a 1939 article about a archival collection I'm about to dig into today: "Their [love] letters, still preserved in the New York Historical Society, may be consulted by the serious student, or by the sentimental busybody who looks like a serious student."

Some sad confirmation from @bcgl.bsky.social while I was at UW last week—the National Digital Newspaper Program—which builds Chronicling America—has been shut down
Historical newspapers are probably the archival material most used by the general public—for genealogy, local history—it’s such a loss

Did you know the UK has the worst record on homelessness in the OECD? Some reflections on both the numbers and the people who lay behind them
I grew up without a stable home. The thousands of families living like that today deserve better from a Labour government.

I’m the Director of the Center for Historical Studies at Northwestern and also a gender historian. If I thought for a minute that our administration had cancelled this conference for political reasons I would be complaining, loudly. But this is not an accurate representation of what happened.
