A sad farewell to Cambridge Things, a research group that has been at CRASSH for seven years! Fortunately, they have left us with a wonderful audio collection #emthings ➞ sms.cam.ac.uk/collection/118…

7 years - Goodness! I feel old! It’s been glorious and I can’t wait to see how CRASSH, Cambridge engages with #materialculture themes in the future! Many thanks to all those who helped us along the way - to many to mention! x.com/cambridgething…

Sorry to see the end of the Things seminar series. It's been a great platform for the discussion of early modern material culture, and it was a real privilege to speak at the seminar last year. x.com/CambridgeThing…
