I rely a lot on the British library in my research, the effects of the cyberattack were devastating. The Library staff helped the readers to get through it, delivering books to the reading rooms by hand and in million other ways. They are amazing and should be remunerated fairly for their job.

It still feels a bit surreal, but I am very grateful to our members for trusting me with the role the President of the Society and am looking forward to productive and exciting three years ahead!

Only a month 'til the publication of “Framing the First World War: How Divergent Views Shaped a Global Conflict”, edited by me, @mpmfinch.bsky.social & @dmorganowen.bsky.social! US readers: get 30% discount (code: FRAMINGWWI) & free shipping if you order direct from @univpressofkansas.bsky.social

Now that I'm back home and (sort of) recovering from all the fun of last week, it might be time to do some reflecting on the conference itself and my time (as it draws to an end) as President of @fwwsoc.bsky.social 1/
