And a local historian who I often chatted with has just appeared on screen in the programme. I spent a year 2003-4 working half time as a #ResearchAssistant on Bob Harris’s Small Towns project. And a huge part of my job was spent researching in the #Angus #Archives, which at that time was located in the top floor of #Montrose Library. #UrbanHistory #HistoricalResearch #DundeeUniversity #ScottishHistory #ScottishTowns #Towns #AngusArchives

Just heard that my honorary research fellowship in History (now in School of Humanities, Social Sciences & Law) at #DundeeUniversity has been renewed again to summer 2025. Huge thanks to Dundee University for this. It helps me continue to be an active academic, publishing new research, despite my progressive neurological disease. I've held this fellowship continuously since 2010. #Academia #History #Fellowship #Neuro #ChronicIllness #DisabledAcademic

Facebook reminded me 5 years ago today I started investigating the 200 year history of 166 #Nethergate, #Dundee where my husband works.

Facebook reminded me 13 years ago today I passed my #PhD #viva at #DundeeUniversity. Happy PhD birthday to me! I haven't been able to work in a paid capacity in #academia since due to my #progressive MS-like #illness. But I'm still active as an #academic. Here's a blog post about my activities since then. https://vivsacademicblog.wordpress.com/2020/03/27/ten-years-since-phd-viva/ #Dundee #Research #University #Postgrad

Just been trying a couple more of the #ScottishHistory #quizzes by Allan Kennedy linked from the Centre for #ScottishCulture at the #University of #Dundee website. Relieved to get 47% and 53% on the “super hard” 16th and 17thC ones! https://dundeescottishculture.org/scottish-history-quizzes/ #Scotland #History #DundeeUniversity #SixteenthCentury #SeventeenthCentury #16thCentury #17thCentury

And here is the result for the favoured books by all the female borrowers recorded in the Haddington Gray Library borrowing records between 1732 and 1816. A much stronger preference for novels and poetry, though this library had relatively few novels. #SQL #MySQL #History #ScottishHistory #Libraries #EastLothian #PhD #DundeeUniversity #Dundee #18thCentury #EighteenthCentury #HistoricalResearch #Mac #MacBookPro #SQLPro #Books #Reading #Women #Female

Reinstalled MySQL on my new Mac laptop and imported my old library borrowings etc. databases from my Dundee University history PhD. Pleased to see the SQL queries in my thesis appendix still worked! Tweaked one here to show most popular books borrowed by teenage boys 1732-1816. #databases #SQL #MySQL #History #ScottishHistory #Libraries #EastLothian #PhD #DundeeUniversity #Dundee #18thCentury #EighteenthCentury #HistoricalResearch

Facebook reminded me that 13 years ago today I put in alternative/disability arrangements request for my upcoming history #PhD #viva at #DundeeUniversity. Worked well: a #wheelchair accessible room and time limited viva cos of how confused & slurred speech I get after a while. Loved my viva. #neuro #disabledAcademic

I haven’t watched this but in the Guardian review it says only 1300 people a year donate their body to train medics. Dundee University has a particularly high donation rate, about 90 per year. Dad wanted his donated. It was an enormous comfort on the day he died when his body was deemed suitable and #DundeeUniversity formally accepted it. I hope mine is too. But I can’t watch this.
