Powerful words #plaidcymru #university #cuts #bangor

This little dude is just the best (& sweetest). He's recently taken to laughing when playing, on top of the usual dooking 🥰 he also likes to have power naps during playtime #ferret #ferretlove

I think David's 'seriously' was shock at the fact the use of a word is critiqued rather than the threat to an invaluable resource. Plus, 'decimate' is correct in David's context. Kill/destroy 1 in 10 of a group of people as punishment (historical use). OR kill/destroy a proportion (modern use)

It turns out you can't threaten to decimate the history and heritage of an entire region of the UK without serious opposition from the public. Please lend us your voice - History and Heritage have been a staple of Bangor for a century and a half, and is in danger of being destroyed.

Bangor University Archives under threat due to newly proposed cuts by the University. This would be devastating for the study of Welsh heritage and history, as well as broader global studies.

As Dr Daniel Huws, former Keeper of Records at the National Library of Wales, stated in his magnus opus, ‘A Repertory of Welsh Manuscripts and Scribes, c.800–c.1800’, the most thorough and scholarly study of Welsh Manuscripts ever to be conducted:

Bangor University are looking to make more cuts & the University Archive Service, which is accessible to all, is in the firing line. It may not affect you directly, but it will have a huge impact on Welsh & Global history research. #history #heritage #University #archives #Wales #saveyourarchive

Evening wind-down time has recently consisted of cataloguing the family archives - a long overdue job. Can't stop looking at this pic of my 2 x great grandfather. My strange little brain has decided he looks like an early 20th cent 'gangster'. Is it the rifle or the dog that gives off those vibes?

Lovely afternoon on an ancestry trail, all for a school project. Taking great pride in their love of their 'roots' & history. The eldest feels a deep connection to our ancestors & suggested we spend a day laying flowers at as many ancestors graves as possible 🥰 #familyhistory #genealogy #history

Family Days Tried & Tested on the old F'book providing the giggles this morning.

From 21 February @royalhistsoc.bsky.social will be closing and archiving its X account.

From this date all updates from the Society - and its promotion of work by fellow organisations for #history and the humanities - will be via BlueSky.

Please encourage colleagues to join us here #skystorians

This was quite a shocking find for the family tree! There is something amazing, but also heart breaking, about researching family history #genealogy

Ahhh the British benefits system - known to penalise those trying to better themselves 🙄

Who doesn't love a good rare book?! Including some that belonged to Thomas Jones' of Llantysilio Hall. The Jones' are only briefly mentioned in the history of the hall & estate - these books & their contents could be gold mines (it's common to find annotations & random notes within books like these)

Want to learn more about London's history this summer?

Join us @ihrlibrary.bsky.social between 14 and 18 July for our fabulous Summer School featuring Jack Cade, Punk, the rebellious pasts of Bloomsbury and much, much, more. 🗃️

Blessed Imbolc all

Joined another social media platform! Will probably continue to be useless at posting content 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️
