This c. 2,000 year-old Roman mosaic glass bowl shows the past was lived in glorious technicolour! V&A Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology 🏺

My photo shows a ribbed glass bowl with outsplayed horizontal rim and outsplayed base ring. The glass is composed of a blue, green, red, yellow and white mosaic pattern, which at first glance to the modern eye, looks like a pattern made up of international flags. Height 11.5cm, Maximum width 15.5cm. Collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

This brilliant new mural on Govan Road in Glasgow is of Mary Barbour, a Scottish political activist and social policy pioneer of the early 20th Century. She first made a name for herself leading the rent strikes of 1915. Cont./ #glasgow #streetart #mural #govan #marybarbour #glasgowhistory

Someone working on diplomatic could get a full article out of "concepts of 'copy'" in popular understanding of Magna Carta. Hey ho. Fun, though, and genuinely hard work to establish this,as well as great outcomes from sharing collections information online.

My thoughts on the disgraceful removal of Dr Carla Hayden as Librarian of Congress (and the Archivist of the United States too). LC and NARA are part if the infrastructure of democracy in America, and are under attack. on.ft.com/4mdynBU The US Library of Congress is under attack

The US Library of Congress is under attack

An institution that survived British torching in 1814 is now facing a new onslaught

Some excellent articles in The London Journal's 50th issue. Particularly enjoyed Nur Sobers-Khan and Shahed Saleem's article on the vernacular architecture of London mosques. Some fascinating reflections on the thought proccess behind Saleem's co-curated V&A pavillion at the Venice Bienalle, 2021

Great 50th anniversary issue looks at London, the global city with a (long overdue) focus on race and on teaching London. Some fabulous open access articles, dive on in!

This post by a former NARA employee is good, outlining some of its powers and responsibilities. I knew that NARA administered the Electoral College. There’s a lot of similarly important stuff. It will *not be good* for the next Archivist of the United States to be a Trump stooge.

We are in a war on knowledge, a war on facts, and a war on truth. The atrocious sacking of the 11th Archivist of the United States, Colleen Shogan (which she announced on her LinkedIn account last night) heralds a new era of burning of the books. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

President Trump has just sacked the Archivist of the United States. I've worked at the National Archives there in Maryland loads of times. Staff were apolitical, unfailingly helpful and knew their subjects inside out. Another sinister and authoritarian move. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...
