Travel can be so stressful! Travel to Euston. Train late so will miss connection and arrive an hour late. Avanti guard won’t authorise me to stay on this train so had to buy a new ticket for £50 ! What a complete mess and rip off!

Have you done some fun work with museums/archives/cultural spaces (anything beyond the academy, essentially) and want to tell people about it? Please do consider writing something for @socialhistsoc.bsky.social’s Community Exchange blog! #SHSConf2025

Screenshot for the Social History Society’s Community Exchange blog, which says:

Our Community Exchange aims to foster links across history-making spaces-from museums and archives, streets and groups, stage and screen - and to open up dialogue between the many different audiences for social history. We welcome contributions showcasing public history events, as well as think pieces on community history, co-production, or how scholarship can be transformed by conversations beyond the academy.
