Brilliant! 🤩

Two of my absolutely favorite book things together: @sonyabonczek.bsky.social and @draftingthepast.bsky.social Match made in heaven! 🗃️

Thanks for creating the list in the first place - great stuff! 😊

The @jcblibrary.bsky.social has an amazing collection of digitized early modern images that are free! And the system is extremely easy to use!

Encyclopédie noire If you peer closely into the bookstores, salons, and diplomatic circles of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world, Médéric Louis Élie Moreau de Saint-Méry...

Lots of great recs on this list, so I’ll add Sara Johnson’s ENCYCLOPÉDIE NOIRE which is a methodological tour de force and an astonishingly compelling read:

Edinburgh University’s ‘skull room’ highlights its complicated history with racist science Skulls were collected from all over the world because of some academics’ fascination with the discredited belief that skull shape denoted intelligence

And this one by @hannahdevlin.bsky.social and @severincarrell.bsky.social discusses the grim history of Edinburgh University’s “skull room” which includes those of two mixed-race brothers from Barbados. Difficult reading but great reporting 2/2 🗃️
