I promise my feed isn't usually so heavy on promotion of my blog posts, but here's my latest one about 19th-century London German newspaper wars (ok, not quite that dramatic, but an interesting little story I hope). blogs.bl.uk/european/202...

Collection Metadata colleagues, and thanks for all your hard work!
