Poster for Anti-Apartheid Movement benefit gig for 14 November 1986 at the Royal Albert Hall, featuring The Smiths and The Fall. This gig was moved to 12 December after Johnny Marr broke his arm.
On 12 December 1986, The Smiths played their last ever live gig, as part of an Anti-Apartheid Movement benefit show. It was postponed from November as Johnny Marr had broken his arm.
The AAM archives has posted the original poster here: www.aamarchives.org/archive/hist...

Historians have a reputation for writing massive tracts, but compared to legal academics, we are purveyors of brevity

Book chapters, I find, are much more variable. Anywhere between 8,000 and 20,000, depending on what the chapter is trying to do. Writing history, I find that book chapter length very much depends on the narrative arc I am putting forward in that particular chapter.

This came up in my Facebook memories from when I was at Archives NZ in Wellington. From files on border and national security in the 1970s, this was an ad from Phillips for the first wave of metal detectors at airports.

I asked this many moons ago on the other site, but does anyone know of any scholarly work whatsoever on ‘nationality branches’ within police forces in the UK?
