Great blog on women at the British Museum. @beyondnotables.bsky.social has a (very!) long list of women associated in some way w/ the Museum between 1870-1950, including women lecturing at the Museum (many w/ explicit permission of Trustees), women using the Reading Room, & women donors

Bell was not alone! She had a lot of help from various people, including Agnes Ramsay, who had well over 20 years' experience travelling through Ottoman Turkiye by the time that Bell came to Binbirkilise to work with Agnes and William Ramsay & their local excavators.

Bell is, of course, in our @beyondnotables.bsky.social database bsky.app/profile/ncll... BUT critical to say that so are a number of other (far less well known) women who were also involved in archaeology in the areas that Bell is associated with.

Opening page for Natasha Hodgson's new RHS blog post 'Finding Women's History in Schools - challenges for the curriculum review'.
Women's and gender history is thriving in HE, but very little of this new work appears in schools history.
Mid-way through the gov't's curriculum review, Natasha Hodgson considers the barriers to the take up of new work in schools, and how she seeks to overcome these bit.ly/4lf0Xm4 1/2 #Skystorians

Important advice! bsky.app/profile/harc... if you search @beyondnotables.bsky.social database you'll find many entries of women who appear under many variations of name. For e.g. Icelandic collector Sigridr Magnusson beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q2...

New exhibition at @ics.bsky.social on Fashion and antiquity features 2 @beyondnotables.bsky.social women in the first case! Maria Millington Lathbury's book Chapters on Greek Dress (1893) and fantastic photograph of Eugenie Sellers Strong in a Fortuny Delphos dress. Wonder what colour it was...

On this, a note. Active for us @beyondnotables.bsky.social covers many things, from membership in learned society for a year or two to a lifelong commitment resulting in talks, publications, professional appointments and accolades. It's a broad spectrum.

We got AHRC funding, but only for 3 years! Over that time we put over 900 women active in 1 way or another in archaeology, history & heritage into our @beyondnotables.bsky.social database. Some well known, but the majority not (some still have no first name!). 3 years will only take you so far...
