It was great to do a shift on the Institute of Historical Research stall this afternoon. Enjoyed being nosey finding out what people are researching and plus an great enquiry about where we got our purple table cloth from. Thanks to Kate Wilcox and @argula_r, it turned out nicely again.

Ministry of Justice Disastrous to historians to destroy paper copies. Digitized platforms always get outdated and become unusable. You plan therefore will make this information permanently unavailable.

Ministry of Justice Dismayingly irresponsible to destroy original documents when digitized copies are open to hacking? And our view of which individuals are important or famous changes over time. Fifty years ago, who would have thought that Mary Seacole was important or her will worth preserving?

Things that should be cut but probably won't in cost-saving measures for universities: 1. the REF 2. restructuring advice from management consultants 3. contract with Key Travel 4. clunky 'virtual learning environment' when you could just email a PDF

How do you research History when you're no longer at University? With the help of you folks, I compiled this list. Happy researching. (Plus! Bonus picture of my sister's cat looking utterly happy to be exactly where he is in the preview picture.) katherineweikert.co.uk/post/researchi…
