#JamesBarryDiary 28/11/1875 Froze hard last night and freezing pretty well all this day. Very little snow on the ground; all turned to ice, nearly. Very slippery going indeed. No one here to day went to preaching – scarcely a person moving. All hands busy reading – different things.

#JamesBarryDiary 26/11/1875 Pretty cold last night, but this day was calm. Good sleighing now all the way to Pictou, they say. I finished my Carpenter work upstairs nearly, got the place all cleared out and my bed put in the north room. The library is in the South room. I am some better period Amen.

An important thread.
You know what we won't need once handwriting recognition software has done its thing? Archivists, curators, conservators, catalogers, codicologists, or paleographers. We won't need archives either. We won't need diplomatics, editorial theory, book or media history, or material culture studies 🗃️🧵

A Pileated Woodpecker tips her head back after getting a beakful of water. Most birds, like this woodpecker, drink by scooping up water with their beaks and then tilt their heads back to send the water down their throats.
