A lovely find this morning while checking through some letters by Lady Victoria Stanley and her husband - this letter from Siegfried Sassoon to Malcolm Bullock in 1943.

Interesting discussion in the thread and comments about mental health records and how they're used and accessed

Just FYI

The end of the boxlisting of the JRRT archive is in sight! For reference, it's everything with a green slip in this photo and more on another aisle besides. Just a massive and incredibly rich archive of social and political history from the 1960s to the present

Can we make some sort of rule that organisations publishing newsletters and reports have to include the damn date somewhere. Don't make me read your 15 page bibliography looking for the latest date, or speedread all your niche news for some clue 😭😭 #archivistwoes

The best kind of archive mistake ❤️

Happy Birthday to Annabel Crewe (later Annabel Milnes, Lady Houghton), born OTD in 1814. Thank you for leaving me such a fascinating collection of letters to transcribe and catalogue (and yet more letters turning up hopefully at West Horsley Place 😊)

New archives job alert!

DEVASTATED that my eldest has just asked “What’s that piece of paper we are going to see tomorrow?” What? You mean THE DECLARATION OF ARBROATH??? As an archivist and Scot the document I’ve wanted to see most? That ‘piece of paper’?!! 😭
