From policemen to boxers to the influence of women on the cultural, social, and economic fabric of Birmingham, it was an enlightening talk encompassimg individual stories, the parts of Ireland that people came from, and what happened to working class communities.

An excellent evening travelling back in time to #Victorian #Birmingham and learning about the city’s #Irish community from Professor Carl Chinn MBE

An absolutely fantastic insight into Birmingham’s #LocalHistory and the #Irish people who shaped the city’s identity and its past.

A spooktacular evening has been had at Aston Hall’s Haunted Hall Ghost tour! An interesting evening exploring the building by candlelight and learning about its terrifying tales and resident ghosts 👻

A fantastic & interactive way to learn about these stories through a recreation of police dress, archival materials including photographs, & interviews with individuals. It was great to see the archival collection from Birmingham City University Cultural Collections & Archive too

Congratulations Corinne Brazier & staff & students from @mybcu.bsky.social School of Computing & School of Fashion on the amazing Fashion Police exhibition!

A wonderful launch & learnt so much about how police fashion developed over 180 years & the people behind the uniforms

And thanks for your excellent contribution 😃 Always great to learn and share more about the exciting cataloguing work you’ve been doing!

I'm in this issue, harping on about Elizabethan litigation again. Thanks to @deegonz92.bsky.social for having me.

Thrilled to share that the latest issue of @araukie.bsky.social’s ARC Magazine is out 🥳

Enjoy!

Very excited to hear more about Immy’s research at this webinar from @harchivestrust.bsky.social! Please do come along!

should probably have used this to publicise the fact that I could really do with a bit of volunteer help on these (digitised) letters! collections.sal.org.uk/san.19.02

can promise you that 1. it's pretty straighforward and 2. one of them contains a very cute drawing. DMs are open

A fab start to the week receiving my copy of the latest @araukie.bsky.social journal, which includes my review of Robert Bartlett’s History in Flames 🥳

A mid week treat for me seeing that my review of Robert Bartlett’s History in Flames has been published in @araukie.bsky.social’s journal 🥳 Really enjoyed reviewing this book and learning how #Medieval manuscripts and archives can be preserved/reconstructed following conflict

Recording this episode with Khatra and Toki was such fun and I learnt so much from them. If you’re interested in how performance can be used to explore and tell the story of Black communities in #Southampton, have a listen ⬇️

I had such fun recording this episode and learning all about the history of the Battle of Southsea 😃

And you! It was a great evening and enjoyed listening to you and Hannah 😃

Especially loved the idea of poetry being a portal into the past. Can’t wait to get stuck into this book and be transported back through centuries of history 🤩

What a wonderful evening organised by @ihr.bsky.social celebrating @cathamclarke.bsky.social’s newly published A History of England in 25 Poems, and hearing from her and poet Hannah Lowe about poetry, history, emotions and feeling 🥳

Congratulations Ed! 🥳

It’s been a while but finally acquired a new reader’s card and spent some time this evening working on the book at @britishlibrary.bsky.social Feels good to make a return to Humanities floor 1 😊

Fantastic evening at the West Midlands Police Museum learning from Corinne Brazier about the history of policing in #Birmingham and the stories of those connected to the station - from staff to convicts - from the 1800s to 2016 when the station became a museum 🚔
