How can I access research resources when not attached to an academic institution? | Notion There are so many ways! I found some while looking on Reddit and thanks to all the academic folks out there calling B$ on paywalled research.

My colleague, Isabella Bruno, developed a great resource for those who need access to academic publications but are not affiliated with academic organizations.

A wrapper that has yellowed with age. On it is text that reads: "Biscuits for the funeral of Mrs. Oliver. Died November 7th, 1828. Aged 52." Along with a prayer.

THREAD on the practice of "SIN-EATING" ๐Ÿงต

In 19th-century Britain, it was customary during a funeral to provide biscuits for mourners to take away. They were often wrapped and sealed in black wax. Here you see an example of a funeral biscuit wrapper from 1828. 1/9
