The @royalhistsoc.org is running a charitable donation campaign to fund the research of historians who lack support. The number of applications we're seeing is way up. I've been very lucky to have a career as a historian, I've donated, and I think this Christmas you should too. Pay it forward.

Highly recommend this @britishacademy.bsky.social scheme: organizing a conference helped consolidate research ideas while making new and serendipitous connections. Would urge applicants to build in cross-disciplinary perspectives from the start, including with the creative arts.
