Great article with practical tips on using graveyards as a historical source.
Graveyards are an overlooked source for mining history and I've intermittently intended to record the graves in the long-closed cemetery in the old mine township in Kitwe. Someone should do this.
Interesting article in @jbritishstudies.bsky.social about missionary periodicals. When I first joined @rs4vp.org I was going to do something with the Bible Society’s *Monthly Register*. Someone still should.
