'When Notre-Dame reopened on 7 December, it was thanks, in part, to the efforts of 175 researchers with expertise across a range of disciplines: acoustics, art, data, history, archaeology, anthropology.' Example of why blue-skies research matters for 'real-life' problems we've not yet imagined. 1/2

Quote and tell me: what book are you currently reading which you’d recommend?
I’ve been reading Colin Burrow’s Imitating Authors (OUP, 2019).
Burrow re-introduces imitatio so lucidly that you’re left asking yourself how on earth you had not realised some of its conclusions before. A great book!

Hello historians! I would like to mention that I have this initiative called the Iberian Colonial Repository, where I am gathering primary sources from archives that are not available online. If you have sources about colonial LatAm from previous projects collecting digital dust, please DM me
