#DH2023 in Graz was such a wonderful celebration of Digital Humanities worldwide. It was great to attend this major DH event in-person and present a poster on my research with legacy catalogue data funded by #AHRC and #RLUK. You can view the poster and associated data here: https://bl.iro.bl.uk/collections/a0a057dd-bd00-414a-ba2c-9fe61ee6fba0?locale=en

Late afternoon treat from the Special Collections of @durham_uni@instinctd.com, continuing our recent run of #MarginalDoodles: a manuscript codex containing works by a distinctly apprehensive-looking Thomas Hoccleve, written in his own hand between 1421 and 1426, intended as a presentation copy for Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland.

Special thanks to Judy Burg.
