The Scottish Traditional Music Archive Directory is now live! 🥳
The directory brings together organisations in and outside Scotland with collections of Scottish traditional music.
Users can identify collection holders, find information on their catalogues, get in touch with them, and compare collections from different organisations.
I always wear hand-knits for big work things - it gives me a wee bit more confidence. So for today's launch of the Scottish Traditional Music Archive I wore my Effervescent jumper by Aimee Sher.
Being in Cambridge, today I’m fortunate to be able to attend ‘The Care of #Books Is a Difficult Business’, a symposium honouring the legacy of Francis Jenkinson (1853 Aug 20–1923 Sep 21), librarian of Cambridge University Library from 1899 until 1923. A full day of excellent papers, display of Jenkinsoniana, and a reception are planned. #GLAM#Libraries @bookhistodons
@wragge@histodons I just used the “Save a Trove Newspaper Article as an Image” Tool, and OMG!! BRILLIANT!! Seriously, this is a great list of resources, Tim, thank you so much! Can’t wait to explore them all! #FamilyHistoryResearch just got easier!
As November highlights to us the importance of inclusion, we delve into the records of Fulbourn Hospital (formally Fulbourn Asylum), held by Cambridgeshire Archives. Bringing light to mental health histories is instrumental in helping us learn today. We can understand better the lives that were lived, and the practices faced by the patients who were in this type of care.
