I was at the Eisenhower Library just last month. All the brilliant staff provided invaluable help for my research. This move from the Trump administration is shocking but we should not be surprised that anyone who stands up to them, and stands up for history, is seen as a threat 🗃️

Thanks to @illimij.bsky.social for verifying this image depicts Abraham Lincoln’s assassination as a stabbing at the theater, rather than a gunshot by John Wilkes Booth. It comes from a set of Japanese volumes about the life and world tour of U.S. Grant: archive.wul.waseda.ac.jp/kosho/bunko1... 🗃️

This looks like a great volume (due out Feb next year)! I'm really pleased that I was able to contribute a chapter. Mine is: "The Bastille and the Roundabout: Popular protest and the revolutionary past of the Gilets Jaunes" 🗃️ #FrenchHistory #SkyStorians

Reviewing my WWII lecture & this hits different this year: The US Holocaust museum argues that “what distinguishes a concentration camp from a prison... is that it functions outside of the judicial system. The prisoners are not indicted or convicted of any crime by judicial process.” 🗃️

I had a great time reviewing this fantastic book by @mateojarquin.bsky.social for the @h-diplo.bsky.social roundtable! networks.h-net.org/group/discus.... I also ended up with an extra copy of his book and will send it for free to one lucky person who reposts this post! 🗃️ #history #freebook

I really needed a sign today that what I do as a historian matters. I did not expect to literally see a sign. On the sidewalk. And in the window. Hooray for local bookstores! Water Street Bookstore totally made my day! 🗃️ @uncpress.bsky.social @sonyabonczek.bsky.social

mastodon.online/@Infrogmatio... Anti-isolationist cartoon from 1938. See original post for details. You may snooze, but that doesn't mean the fascist predator will leave you alone. The down payment of peace and quiet for the man here is his leg. #EverythingHasAHistory #Cartoons #PoliticalCartoons 🗃️

Does anyone know of a good recent article about digital history (ideally with some consideration of AI) focused on the ‘doing’ of it which I could set alongside of a (still excellent but obviously now a bit dated) piece from 2008 for MA students? (‘The Promise of Digital History’, FYI.) 🗃️ Thanks!

In the 1930s, Chicago reporter Sigrid Schultz stood in Berlin, warning America about Hitler. On Sept. 25, I’ll share her story at the National WWII Museum. Free, in person or online. 🗃️ Register here: https://tinyurl.com/3bs4n7m5
