So I've had a speaker drop-out last minute from the session dedicated to Old Norse female networks and communities! I still need to figure out next steps but is there coincidentally anyone who'd like to present in this session? #MedievalSky #OldNorse

Thinking about putting together a panel on 'Early Modern Documents, Digitisation, and Editing' for @srsrensoc.bsky.social's conference at @warburginstitute.bsky.social (30 June–3 July 2027). I wondered if this might potentially be of interest to anyone?

With @csanaceltic.bsky.social (The Celtic Studies Association of North America) now on Bluesky, it seems like a good time to re-share the Celtic Studies starter pack I started awhile back. I’ve tried to keep it updated but if I’ve missed anyone please let me know!

ich bezweifle zwar, dass sich Meta daran hält, aber bedenkt das bitte, wenn ihr als Instutition einen Kanal auf den entsprechenden Plattformen betreibt und dort auch hin und wieder Menschen zeigt.

I definitely didn’t see that - I suppose it might be out of display at the moment. What a shame - I would have liked to have seen it! I really liked the Gailtal inscriptions

Medieval Irish law experts: are there any law texts that discuss the status and circumstances of servants, stewards, clients, etc after the death of their lord? Do these relationships transfer and what happens when they don't?

I did, admittedly, disregard the fact that the no photography sign from below in the library might also apply up in the exhibition…

Tried the best I could, but the lighting was very dim. But it’s part of an exhibition ‘Universum Wissens’ until the end of August and it is one of the best exhibitions I have ever seen!
