I'm planning a visit to the Modern Records Centre at Warwick University, and was wondering about overnight accommodation nearby. Any recommendations would be much appreciated!

Question for fellow historians/archive visitors: if you work with pdfs rather than photos of documents, is there a pdf-converter software or app which you'd recommend? Looking for one which is fairly quick to use (while still producing clear pdfs) so that I don't lose too much time in the archives

If you work on the history of labour rights from an intellectual/protest/policy perspective or any other related approach, do take a look at our call for papers!

Our research project on the modern global history of social rights has a new blog page. Do take a look at my account of British and German pensions and healthcare within a European story of social rights (bit.ly/3P5tzz4), and @nielsboender.bsky.social's take on African labour history t.co/RJbQm00030

Hi @michellelkahn.bsky.social, would you be able to add me to the German History starter pack? If so I'd be very grateful!
