The best part about being someone who studies women's history in the 1700s is when people tell me that 14 year olds being off limits is a "recent phenomenon", I get to plop down an entire dissertation of reasons why that's wrong AND feel like the 10 years of training to get the phd was 💯 worth it.

This is why I bang on, whenever I can, about the value of having a browseable archive catalogue, and, you know, browsing through it: rather than thinking you can just zap into a specific target.

Thanks for these posts. Bummed I've missed this panel, I attended another equally interesting but I wish I could be in two places at the same time. On my way to Heathrow now, sorry I didn't say goodbye properly. 'till next time, Andy, you're a fantastic chair!
