Have to plug one of our founders’ new book on this #histbookchat @lucyjanesantos.bsky.social has a deep dive into the making of the iconic film Some Like It Hot. Gorgeous looking book, and huge amounts of passion and research have gone into it.

Picked up this leaflet the other day. I know all about the Archives Hub but this image was what caught my eye. They are part of the Alexime Troupe and the photo is part of the National Fairground and Circus archive at the University of Sheffield.
