This is great! I'm guessing that our Exeter Dissertation convenor (N Terry) knows about it already?

Came across an obscure local satire serial that the @dexinst.bsky.social was subscribed to for a few years in the 1880s. Some of the members were not pleased about its presence in the reading room!

This is such a brilliant piece of #SocialHistory! Demonstrating once again how railways were far more than just shiny locos moving carriages and goods wagons. This says so much about imagined communities & attempting to knit a workforce together ... #Railway200 #RailwayHistory

It was great to help out with Schools' Enrichment Week at @dexinst.bsky.social 🔍📚 today the year 10's were tasked with finding parallels between 19thC media and the media of today! There were lots of interesting discussions around scandel, fake news and clickbait 📲

A sinister Victorian Valentine’s Day! The mid-nineteenth century saw the rise of the comic or mocking Valentine, in contrast to more romantic images. This illustration by Kenny Meadows appeared in the Illustrated London News in 1852, and doesn’t disappoint in its grisly detail. #valentinesday

My siblings and I are all moved out of home but my mom still displays our christmas art that we made in school every year and it is so wholesome! My favourite is the christmas cards we made i n'gaeilge (in Irish) #gaeilge #nollaig #irish

The book display is back at the DEI! This makes me happy <3 #historiclibraries

#introduction Hello, I'm rubbish at introducing myself. My main personality trait at the minute is my PhD research because it's pretty all consuming. The focus of my research is the social history of Enlightenment subscription libraries in the nineteenth century.
