Interesting report with overlaps for all archives - from science and medicine to arts and humanities.

So much research potential in the UK’s archives - and it would be amazing to be able to get more of it out there being used!

We’re delighted to see a familiar object featured in the Guardian’s coverage of Ghosts: Visualising the Supernatural at Kunstmuseum Basel: a ghost-hunting kit once owned by Eric Dingwall, who left a bulk of his work with the University of London Library.

Today I delivered some tours of the Library as part of #OpenHouse which is a lovely way to end my first two months at Senate House Library! A slight baptism of fire but it was good to rapidly learn all the library facts!

After 80 years, Senate House Library has reunited a rare 14th-century manuscript looted in WWII with the Chandon family. Thanks to expert detective work, MS541 will remain accessible for study, preserving its history for future generations.
