For the "everything is online" crowd in the back:
Important to consider that "everything" cultural heritage related that is accessible online represents only 1% (one percent) of archives, libraries, and museum collections worldwide.
A great exhibition is coming up soon at the Musée Cognacq-Jay: Révéler le féminin. Mode et Apparences au XVIIIe siècle.

In case your articles are still on Academia.edu: why?
‘There are lots of ways in which oral and manuscript forms of the transmission of news continue alongside it – it is not the case that Europe gets the newspaper and thinks, here we go. You still have people singing ballads.’

An interesting (and biting) review of an AI for Student Companion, warning that "students should see firsthand how these supposedly revolutionary software applications flatten thought, reward conformity, erode interactivity" - let's teach students how the slop is made before dishing it out
This is who runs this account
One of my most cherished classes is my 18th century novels course where the primary learning objective is "learn how read long novels." We did a "couch to 5k" approach to attention span and note-taking.
Do I know artists who work in an 18th century style of illustration who might take on a modest proposal (so to speak)?
(would love to see portfolios)
A good read!
Thank you! It's exactly that! my student has been combing the newspaper archive for needlewomen and she was stumped by the stock phrases on references. Will tell her to comb novels to fill in the silence of the archive.

Help! Any good references for the use or need of references in adverts and job negotiation for victorian domestic work? Asking for a student! #Academicsky #victorian #19thc

Two close up photos side by side. Side view and close up of the term's baroque pearls in all their glory.
Here are close-ups... amazing, right!
Jade cup softly gleeming under the creamy glow of museum led lights. Oriental jade vase with a gilt-silver foot. Ching Dynasty Workshop; Debourg, Michel. Gilt-silver and nephrite jade, 17th century (vase); 1684–1687 (set). Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado.
Forgot to uphold this extraordinary jade cup (dragon and lotus), softly gleaming under museum led lights, gift of the Siamese embassy to the Grand Dauphin, loaned from the Prado.
Many thanks to Lorène Legrand for the visit, and for all the backstage info about the preparation of the exhibition, and the excitement and headaches of getting exceptional loans from the Wallace, the Prado and the uk Royal Collections...
