Being able to understand the comedian talking in French in his Dress to Kill show led to me learning several languages and working on the continent

The UK will become an Erasmus+ partner country in 2027. Welcome back! 👋

Erasmus isn't just a chance to experience a new country (incl. 🇩🇪) and build friendships, it also boosts your employability.

One of the chief virtues of the book is that it’s nearly the only remaining form of media that isn’t constantly being interrupted by ads. Between the covers is the last place on earth where no one is trying to sell you shit, a place where you can still be a human being rather than a mark.

A wonderful example of an undigitised primary source in today’s Guardian. I was going to call it niche, but all primary sources are niche, and almost all are undigitised. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I was looking at a POW's papers and in one envelope found a Japanese soldier's split-toe boot.
I think we need a mega thread of everyone's craziest archive stories.

Why do historians go to archives? Hasn’t everything already been digitized?

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

Antonio La Cava on why libraries still matter in a digital world
In the late 1990s, primary school teacher Antonio La Cava grew alarmed that students in his home region of Basilicata, in southern Italy, felt no connection with the books that had shaped his own youth.
