À la suite des récentes annonces concernant les compressions budgétaires fédérales touchant les organismes axés sur l’histoire, le président de la SHC, Colin Coates, a envoyé une lettre à l’honorable Marc Miller, ministre de l’Identité et de la Culture canadiennes. #histoire #cdnhist
This amused me greatly 😂 especially the fox painting 😂
Thank yoooo @cheekybudgie.bsky.social
Congratulations! So happy to have followed your progress. Those roof tiles are amazing!

Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out.
As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class.

To second what others have said, it depends on the institution, but is very common to hire those without residency or citizenship status. Those candidates have to be more qualified for the position. Where dossiers are equivalent, CDN citizens and residents are preferred. Good luck!
Thrilled about this new grant we are offering for under-represented early career scholars. The first cycle is for scholars in history and area studies. Please spread the word widely. @universitypress.cambridge.org

I have now tested this with Claude 4.5 Opus and it's as good as Gemini 3 Pro, nearly perfect transcriptions. And I've gotten a lot of email that they also work well on non-English-language transcriptions & have heard from some libraries/archives that AI has finally reached a state of usefulness here

Screen capture of a book cover. It's a white background with a picture of part of a multicolored lobster dominating the bottom 2/3 of the cover. Book title is Contested catch: lobster, localism and Canada's Atlantic coast, 1870 to 1970
It's finally here. A history of the Nova Scotia lobster fishery.
Morton is truly an historian's historian, and from the installments I've seen, the book is going to have riches of social history, politics, economics, and even some marine biology.
