"Poverty was a major cause of heavy outbreaks of disease, with many people living on the edge of subsistence, having a minimum of warmth, clothing, and shelter, and with the ever-present threat of starvation hanging over their heads."

did I forget to speak about our fantastic History of libraries Research Seminar, coorganised with Giles Mandelbrote, Isabel Rivers and Keith Manley, co-funded by #IES #IHR #WarburgInstitute #LIHG_CILIP?
It happens once a month, sometimes in person at the #WarburgInstitute, sometimes online, and today I am listening Philippe Bernhard Schmid on the Reuse of Library Catalogues in 19th c Germany: the case of Julius Carl Schlaeger #historyoflibraries #Germany #18thc #catalogues

Some of you asked for a pocket #sewalong, so here we go! I’m making up my own construction, as pockets are very simple. I’m doing a 4 layer construction: decorative embroidered front (cotton/poly blend, I’m pretty sure), inner lining (cotton) and back in a sturdy cotton canvas. I want to avoid binding because I hate sewing on binding. I’m machine sewing these, as I generally machine sew first attempts for efficiency. #historicalcostuming #historicalsewing #18thC

Avis aux bibliophiles! Je cherche un roman de la fin du #18thC:
La Forêt de Livry, ou Erreur, malheur, et bonheur, par la cit. Alphonse ***, Paris, André-Augustin Lottin, An VII, 2 vol., in-18.
D’après le CCfr, un seul exemplaire se trouve en France, à la bibliothèque de Fougères, que j'ai contactée.
Curieusement, il n’est référencé dans aucun autre OPAC (Sudoc, WorldCat, LoC, BL, ICCU, BSB, Berlin...).
Sauriez-vous quels catalogues consulter pour retrouver sa piste, si possible à Paris? 🙏
Oh brave new world...just looking and learning for a bit. You'll find me still on Twitter mainly for now - but maybe you'll join me here meanwhile, it would be nice to have some friends in this empty room! #history #architecture #18thC #heritage

though its says #victorian #hats the instructions also cover #18thc #Georgian #Edwardian and the tilt hats would be great for #goth or #steampunk outfits while the straw ones would be great for #easterbonnets #easter #childrens projects or #Dickensian themed events ,or for #theatre #costumes .The small hats just use a cardboard box ,cellotape ,.a plastic hairband and scraps of fabric you would have around from clothes,cushions etc .

Back in the early days of Wordpress blogs, we used to count views obsessively. Happy to say that my PhD thesis - #openaccess at @unireg@twitter.com library - has been downloaded x31. If you're interested in #inheritance, #probate, #18thC see it out here: https://epub.uni-regensburg.de/52856/

#Introduction. I am a recently completed PhD searching for a job/postdoc, just in time for twitter to implode and deconstruct years of networking! I study the long #18thc #BritishNavy (and #Maritime communities generally), touching on themes of #Masculinity and #Gender, #MaterialCulture, and military #Memoir.
I'm originally from the US, but have lived in the UK for the last decade. I'm working on my Italian so I can finally talk to my in-laws.
I do #Sewing and #Embroidery on the weekend.

This is my blog about my favourite actor of the C18 (possibly because she was an Adcock 😂 ) - the notorious Mrs Wilson aka The Goldfinch - https://www.abrahamadcock.com/the-goldfinch-the-amazing-mrs-wilson-actress-and-singer/ #Geneadons #TheatreHistory #18thC #Genealogy
