I'm Kathryn. I specialise in seaside history but also write about architecture and design from the C19 and C20. I'm chair of @seasidenetwork.bsky.social and also chair of @thevicsoc.bsky.social Publications Committee. Looking forward to meeting lots of other freelancers...

This is a long shot because this isn't the old twitter, but I'm looking for history articles/books that look at cases of British/Irish settlers/squatters being prosecuted for crimes against Indigenous/colonized people. It can be anywhere in the world, but ideally the late C18/early C19.

Let’s get going with connecting... Drop your specialism in the comments and hopefully everyone will gain some new followers and (even better!) new friends.

We can't believe how well IHN has been supported so far -we are close to 100 followers! Thank you everyone!

We're holding a meet up in London on 1st July. It doesn't matter if you're an author, broadcaster, tour guide or general hustler, you're more than welcome as long as you work in history and aren't part of academia (sorry lovely academics!) DM us for location as places are limited!
