Haunted Polar Bears: Art & the Arctic — Redacted Museum
One place you don’t expect to be at the mercy of the polar bear is in an exam hall at Royal Holloway, University of London.
Art history is social history and I will die on that hill. Read my latest blog on how the missing Franklin Expedition affected contemporary portrayals of the arctic in the 19th century. Also haunted polar bears. 🐻❄️

For any #history lovers out there I've created a separate account for my (newly rebranded) snarky writing blog! I'm not biased or anything but its definitely worth a follow.

My MA was in Georgian gardening and I've been aiming to get into archival work but no joy so far

Anyone have any tips for getting a foot in the door in heritage work? I've been applying for almost two years, weekend job at the front desk at my local museum, picking up placements and volunteering in an archive but can't even get an interview - feel like I'm on a blacklist!

A Lost City — Wunderkammer
A mystery in the Colombian jungle. An investigation at hand. Let’s examine the facts.
Colombia's answer to Machu Picchu, hidden deep in the Sierrra Nevada mountains.
Inspire d by my trip here - I've written a piece about the history (old and new) of Ciudad Perdida, the Lost City of the pre-colombian Tairona people.

Rival Reviews: Lyme Park — Wunderkammer
Reporter on the ground Lidija Black tackles the imposing shadow of Lyme Park.
One of my first and favourite blogs! I live down the road from Lyme Park in Stockport and often stop by for a coffee or walk through on a hike. Well worth a visit!
