#18thc friends, are you missing the English Short-Title Catalogue (ESTC)?
Nikolai Vogler built a stopgap ESTC when the British Library's went offline. As of 11 Jan this site has entirety of the catalogue (though only core info available for post-1700s records). #GLAM 🗃️ #bookhistory spread the word

She was one of the greatest. I'll always remember those early morning paleography sessions at Princeton with her (and Paul). She would bicycle in full of more energy than the room full of twenty-somethings combined.
deeply saddened to announce that Natalie Zemon Davis has passed away
her work on early modern European cultural history profoundly shaped the thinking of successive generations of scholars
her warmth & generosity touched the lives of so many family, friends, students, colleagues, and comrades
RIP
