#säätiöpäivä johdosta on hyvä muistuttaa säätiöiden keskeisestä roolista suomalaisen tutkimuksen tukijoina ja rahoittajina. Emil Aaltosen Säätiö mahdollistaa minulle paneutumisen 1800-luvun brittiläisen julkkiskulttuurin mitä moninaisimpiin ilmiöihin 🌟

“Un-Tussaud” Celebrities: Fame for One London Season in Victorian Britain

Being a celebrity, the Victorians knew, was a precarious status. Of course there were idols like the Queen, Charles Dickens, or Ellen Terry who enjoyed lifelong popularity, but too often celebrity …

The invention of photography had a tremendous impact on everyday life in the 19th-century 📷 Victorians, in a very Victorian fashion, were enthralled and morally vexed about the opportunities photography provided. cliosfootnotes.wordpress.com/2026/07/04/p...

Celebrity can be frustrating, delighting, and emotionally disturbing. There are many ills in celebrity, but celebrity has played too big political, social, economic, and cultural role in history to dismiss it as a viable topic for historical research. cliosfootnotes.wordpress.com/2026/05/29/s...

Yep. In fact, the real failing of students was when we stopped requiring them to regularly search a library catalogue for their reading and instead produced lists with hyperlinks that students simply had to click. As soon as they have to go off list, they’re lost.

Just went looking for something at the excellent Hagley Digital Archives, and was greeted by the message below. They're being overrun by bots, as "AI systems increasingly target sites like ours to train machine learning models." The web is being murdered. So aggravating. digital.hagley.org

"The Hagley Digital Archives is currently offline due to a sustained bot attack" begins a message from the archive, explaining that AI is using bots to train machine learning learning models.
