End of PhD panic!!! Does anyone know of anyone who has written about family networks when it comes to welfare philanthropy. I seem to have written about social inheritance but no idea where it was from #Philanthropy #WomensHistory #History

At that point of my PhD where I’m reading through stuff that I wrote 3 years ago and making notes like “what does that even mean???” #PhdChat

You’d think that in the age of e-readers, they’d realise how annoying flicking back and forth to endnotes really is

Congratulations!!! You did it 😀

From April possibly!! I will let you know.

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

My deadline is currently July (I had an extension and now I’m on a study break until April). I literally just have to finish writing it.

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Yay well done. One day I might finish mine!!

Hey! Does anyone have a short video about local history that's around 6ish minutes long that is suitable for year 8/9. I usually use one from the National Archives but I'm a bit bored of that one now

001

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

Mine is just weird sleep pattern plus freshers flu! I’ve got tea now so all will be right with the world lol

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

The same could be said for you (I’ve just woken up in my weird sleep pattern).

It's writing day/week..... I need around 2500 words by the end of the week. I need spotters/checkers/accountability peeps. Who can volunteer #PhDChat #WritingUp

Sproglet has started collecting pin badges.... so I want to know 1. What did you collect as a child and 2. where can I find unusual pin badges that are suitable for a 7 year old? #Collectors #PinBadges #SprogletWorld

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 15/04/2025

I had the same with sproglet a few years ago. Literally saw a nurse at the doctor who looked in her ears to see if they were clear and then referred to the audiologist.

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

I've just spent an hour looking for a newspaper article that I'd actually got the transcript printed out and sitting right in front of me. How's your day going? #WritingUp #LocalHistory #PhDChat

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

One day I'm going to make a note of rabbit holes I go down. Today's has taken me from Kingsthorpe in Northampton to Bethnal Green and lead me to reading about the Bethnal Green Tube Disaster. Absolutely nothing to do with my research but that's where I ended up #WritingUp

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

Writing up year so just getting it done. All my chapters are started, just got to add some more research I’ve done and edit it (which is more difficult than it seems)

000

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 28/02/2025

I feel I've had a good week so hopefully I've broken my writing slump

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

Got 400 today after a day of sitting at my desk. Clearly I’m more productive in short bursts.

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 26/02/2025

Writing your PhD thesis is a weird experience. Yesterday, spent all day sat at my desk, wrote 60 words. Today come in from work late because the bus was late. Have managed to write 500 in an hour #PhDChat

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Managed to get a bit of work done today (which is rare for half term). Only a couple of hundred words but did get some referencing sorted. I think that's an achievement

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Do any other historians get frustrated when an number of articles quote the same stats over and over but never say where the information came from?? #LocalHistory #WritingUp #PhDChat #Historians

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

My bus turns up late every day. Not massively. About 5 minutes and you can literally set your watch by it (don’t know why they don’t retime it). A woman at the bus stop today was moaning that it hadn’t turned up. I told her it’s always late. She was still moaning when it turned up at the time I said

I love BALH (which reminds me I think my membership is due)

Yeah I've put Northamptonshire's on there. They have some good photos which might be useful.

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

Oh that's a great help. Thank you

010

Mrs Perry @kathrinaperry.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

oh no that's perfect. I'm hoping some might dip into looking at war memorials and the people on them so this will be perfect.

Always a handy site. We have access to Edina Digimaps through the university but NLS is great for those who haven't.
